      05 RECEIVING A CROWN OF IVY FROM JOHS KEATS . _OTT LEIGH HUKT . A crown of ivy ! I submit my head To the young hand that gives it—young , 'tis true , But with a right , for ' tis a poet ' s too . How pleasant the leavesfeel' . and how they spread "With their broad angles , like a nodding shed Over both eyes ; and how complete and new , As on my hand I lean , to feel them strew My sense with freshness—Fancy ' s rustling Led ! Tress-tossing girls , with smell of flowers and grapes , Come dancing by , and piping cheeks intent , And thrown up cymbals , and Sylvanus old Lumpishly borne , and many trampling shanes .

      And lastly , with his bright eyes _onlher bent , Bacchus—whose bride has of his hand fast hold . It is a lofty feeling , yet a hind , Thus to be topped with leaves—to have a sense Of honour—shaded thought—an influence As from great Nature ' s fingers—and be twined "With her old , sacred , verdurous , ivy bind , As though she hallowed with that sylvan fence A head that bows to her benevolence , Midst pomp of fancied trumpets in the wind . 'lis what ' s within ns , crowned . And kind and great Are all tbe conquering wishes it inspires , Love of things lasting , love of the tall woods , love of love ' s self , and ardour for a state Of natural good befitting snch desires , Towns without gain , and haunted solitudes .

With her Bweefc eyes just waning in tender eclipse-When the sound of our voice calls her heart ' s ruddy tide _. Up-rushing , in beauty , to melt on her lips . But earth has no si ght half so glorious to see , As a people up-girdmg its might to be free ! To see men awake from the slumber of ages , Their brows grim with lahour , and hands hard and tan , Start up—living heroes—long dreamt of hy sages , And smite with strong arm the oppressors of man . To see them come dauntless forth ' mid ths world ' s

      The Democratic Review Of British And For...

      THE DEMOCRATIC REVIEW OF BRITISH AND FOREIGN POLITICS , HISTORY , AND LITERATURE Edited by G . Julian Harney . No . VII , December . London : E . Mackenzie , 5 , "Wine Office-court , Fleet-street , A condensed history of the trials ofthe Red Republican Ciriefe at Versailles , "will be found in this number of the Democratic Review , together -with several articles on foreign questions , as , for example , a commentary ou the

      anniversary of the murder of the patriot Robert Blum ; Kossuth ' s farewell address to his country ; Louis Blanc ' s admirable letter to Joseph Mazzini ; and Mazzini _' s repl y to Montalembert . The completion of the exposition of- Louis Blanc ' s Scheme of Industrial Organisation , together with articles on " ' the Condition of England Question , the Land , Poetry , ( a specimen of which appeared in last Saturday ' s Star ) , & c ., & c ., complete the contents ofthe Review for December .

      The following- -we extract from Louis Blanc _' s fifth letter on

      SOCIAL REFORM . Need I prolong the enumeration of the advantages that would result from the adoption of the new system ? In the industrial world around ns , each successive discovery of science is a calamity , first , because improved machines supersede labourers , _^ vho must work in order to live ; secondly because they are so many deadly weapons with which the manufacturer who has the right and the power to use them , arms himself agamst all who bare not this power or this right . The words New Machine , in the system of unlimited competition ,

      mean monopoly ; this we have proved . Now , the svstem of association and solidarity admits no patents of invetion , no exclusive exploitation . The inventor would be recompensed by the State , and his invention would be immediately placed at the disposal of society at large . Thus , discoveries which are at present instruments of extermination would he immediately converted into means of universal progress ; instead of reducing the _-workman to hanger , despair , and rebellion , they would serve to lighten his task , and procure him leisure for the exercise of his intelligence ; ma

      word , instead of facilitating tyranny , tney woura nromotc the triumph of fraternity . , . ., What could credit be ? Ameans of supplying the workman with the imp lements and materials of bis craft . At present credit is no such thing . They could not , if they would-lend to the poor , without ruining themselves . Banks , therefore , constituted with a view to individual interests , cannot nnder any circumstances be other than an ingenious contrivance for enriching the rich , and enhancing the strength of the strong , . _Everywhere we find monopoly under tbe _disburse of freedom ; _everywheretyranny in the _as _^ t of progress ! The pro-™ 4 _i organisation would extirpate all these _iniquity ti ? „ _Timnnrfion of orofit specially and

      invariably set apart for the extension of the social workshop by the recruital of fresh hands—this would , -virtually , be credit . What further need then would you have of banks ? Suppress them . "Would tbe growth ofthe population be matter of alarm , so soon as the certainty ofa livelihood had accustomed every , workman to ideas of order and habits of provident forecast ? In a system which would assemble in each branch of industry , a number of men animated with the same spirit ; acting nnder the same impulse , having common hopes and a common interest ; what room would remain , I ask , for these adulterations , those crafty _manenvres ,. those habitual falsehoods , those occult frauds , to which at present , every manufacturer , every tradesman , is driven by the _—/ .. « u _^ nf _atfractinsr . at any cost , his neig hbours

      The Democratic Review Of British And For...

      To recapitulate : A social revolution must be attempted . First , because the present social . order is too full of iniquities , of miseries , of turpitudes , to be able to subsist any longer . Secondly , because there is no one , whatever his position , his rank , his fortune , who is not interested in the inauguration of a new social order . Thirdly , because it is possible , nay easy , to accomplish this necessary revolution by pacific means . In the new world to wbich this revolution wonld introduce us , there would still perhaps remain sometbingto do for the complete realisation of fraternity . But all would , at least , be prepared for this realisation , which would be finally accomplished by education . The human race has been too long turned aside from its gaol to admit of our now reaching it in a single day . The corrupting civilisation whose yoke we still endure has disturbed all interests , and

      at the same time unsettled all opinions , and poisoned at its very source , the human understanding . Iniquity has become justice , falsehood has become truth , and men have torn each other fiercely in the dark . Many false ideas remain to be destroyed ; they _vfill , let us not doubt it , disappear . Thus , for- example , the day will come when it will be recognised that he who has received from God nobler endowments of strength or intellect , owes , in the same proportion , more to his fellows . Then it will belong to genius , adopting a conduct worthy of its eminence , to prove its legitimate sway , not by the magnitude ofthe tribute levied from society for its support , but by the grandeur of the services which it will render spontaneously to mankind . For it is not inequality of rights , but inequality of duties , that should properly result from inequality of capacities .

      We add the Mowing extract from the same great writer ' s eloquent letter to Maazini : —

      PRAXCB _ASD BOMB . "Was it not at the thought of "Rome thus _profaneu , alas ! by French soldiers , that in the month of June , France burned with indignation when the parliamentary debates called forth such tragic echoes in our country , when sacrificing their position , fortune , liberty , and life to the right of protesting , certain representatives of the people decended into the public streets , when Paris arose unarmed and indignant ; when , without concerted measures , but as it were by a common electrical impulse , Metz , _Strasburg , Limoges , Perpignan and Toulouse were suddenly aroused to action ; when , at the sound of " Longlive Italy , " in Lyons , thousands of men rushed into the jaws ef death ? And what still more loudly proclaims that the whole of France must not be confounded with the French government in its late transaction , is , that since his tremendous explosion of public indignation , we have seen , as the

      consequence of it , republicans everywhere hunted down like wild beasts , the proscription list enlarged , new prisons opened , journals suppressed , and their offices pillaged , literary men led through the country in irons , officers banished or condemned to death , and even whole regiments sent beyond the seas . Oh truly ! we Democrats have paid dearly for this protest in favour of Italy . We complain not of our sufferings , but rather thank heaven we are allowed to endure them for such a cause . They are indeed expiatory sacrifices , and blessed be they as they will one day plead the cause of France when she will have to appear before the tribunal of free nations to answer for the invasion of Rome . The protest it is true was a defeat . But why ? Ask General Changarnier , and he will point to his cannon . Now you , my dear Mazzini , -who bave so long lamented over your oppressed Italy , know how imposing is the demonstration and employment ot force under certain

      _circumsfciiiicfts But does not Universal Suffrage exist in France ? This also is true , and it is not the least of our sorrows to observe through what a course of dark and tortuous policy these two great facts , the Republic and Universal Suffrage , have been forced to pass . However , had it been possible to consult the people by an appeal to Universal Sufirage on the particular question of Italy , wonld the reply have been hostile to Rome ? If the following question had been put to those electors who chose the present majority because they believed they were in a manner promoting what was represented to them as the cause of order ; "Itis proposed to go and attack a people who have never provoked us , but on the contrary , have always declared themselves to be our friends . Itis proposed that republican France shouldgo and destroy the republic at Borne ; do you think this just , and will you have it so V does any one _suppose they would have answered in the affirmative ?

      Fortunately the destinies of the future are not yet accomplished . Thanks to heaven Franoe is a nation that contains within her the power to revive , to renew her youth and vigour , and at the very moment when least expected , to rise from the state Of abasement in which she is sunk , to the proper level of her destiny . Her mission in history is not yet accomplished : she has the strength to undertake it , and how could she fail to do so now that she has to expiate a deed , which until it is thoroughly atoned for , compels ns to hide our faces in the dust . No one need despair that France will redeem her honour and atone for the crimes of her pVesent infamous rulers ; but that can only be , when ihe Red Flag triumphant , shall proclaim the inauguration of the Democratic and Social Republic .

      _77 _ie Uxbridge Spirit of Freedom . Conducted by _WbitiONG Men . December . London : J . "Watson , _Queen _' s-head Passage , Paternoster-row . "Why has the cause of the Peop le not triumphed ? " " The Condition of the Labourer , " " The Peop le ' s living "Martyrs , " and "Foes 'to Progress , " are the titles of the p rincipal contents of this number of the Spirit of Freedom . From the first named -we give the following extract : — EFFECTS OF " MODERATION . "

      "What a mournful scene the world presents today I The torch of liberty has for awhile been drowned in the waters of the Danube and the blood of our brothers ; many a true heart lies quenched in death ; many a noble champion of the people is in exile , and in prison . Milan has been trodden beneath the iron heel of Radetski ; Berlin wears the g j ves and fetters almost as tig htly as of old ; Hungary lies crushed and bleeding ; where the young Bfe of Italy bleed so purely , and so free , those soulstrangling thugs , the Cardinals , are reigning rampantly , with their inquisition of tortures ; and , all over the continent , proscription and carnage are completing the bloody tragedy . Let us enquire how it is that the cause of the people hasnot triumphed ? Why have our great and glorious hopes set in blood ? Our enemies will tell us that Republicanism

      is a failure—they will sum up the cost of revolution and ask you with a sneering chuckle , what have the people gained by the suffrage 1 Trade , say they , is destroyed , and the poor are poorer ! Babblers , go hush your miserable sophistry—the people only made half a revolution , thereby digging the grave of their own liberties . Had the people of Prance , with their oppressors at theirfeet , effectually fettered die reactionaries , and rendered them helpless till the deliverance of Vie whole peop le had been wrought out , where then would have been your taunts and sneers ? And why should they not be fettered and tamed ? Think of the atrocity of their crimesthud * of the millions slain in hulks , bastiles , factories , and mines—slain by these traffickers in blood , in religion ' s name , each of whom may be dear to us , as the Wood that warms the heart of a beggarly aristocrat .

      We observe an announcement that a new and enlarged series of the Sp irit of Freedom will lie commenced on the 1 st of January , 1850 . We are g lad to note the successful progress of these cheap Democratic publications .

      The Processionist . No . XI . Weekly Series . London : J . Watson , Queen _' -head Passage , Paternoster-row . We notice several good articles in this number ofthe Frogessionist , particularly one on the late trials at Versailles , from which we extract the following spirited observations : —

      THE FBESCH DESPOTISM . The men tried at VersaiBes are some of those who are accused of having combined to destroy the eovernmenton the 13 th of June . The counselforour brethren wished to plead the rig ht ofthe people to insurrection , but were not allowed ; they walked out of court and our brethren were undefended—and this occurred in France , Bepublican France ! France—the land where millions bave given up their heart s blood to found immortal liberty ! In France the constitution can be violated by the ministers with impunity—the will of a nation can he _

      • who bave been elevated to power by tbe people . Men who protested against such violation are thrown into prison , and when on their trial are not allowed to p lead their right to insurrection against tyrants , who have not respected the _laws , _^ but broken them , and violated the constitution . If this be French liberty and French republicanism ,. let me be for ever subject to English despotism , and oh _' garchial power ; however hateful , it is mfinitely nrfferable to such a swindle as the French consti-Sn Thev have no constitution but such as ? _Scn _chK aUow them !

      beseech you to awake , to arise , to protest , and to prove to all Europe that you are not to be trampled under foot by a few vulgar tyrants .

      The O peratives ' Free Press . Conducted by Working Men . December . Cambridge : J . Nichols , Fitzroy-square . London : J . Watson , Queen s-head Passage , Paternoster-row . This number of the Free Press contains articles on "The Closing Year , " " The National _"Reform League , " "The Labour Question , " & c & c . From an article on "Man s Mission" we extract the following sensible argument in favour ofthe

      RIGHT GS THE OPPRESSED TO OVERTHROW OPPRESSORS . If a thief meets us on the highway and demand " money or life , " we are not very particular as to the means we use , so long as we succeed in overpowering him , and this is unquestionably right . Ascending higher in the scale , if it is right to combat the thief who would take from us that to which he has no ri ght , it is also a duty and a virtue to opposo our strength and influence against the powers of wrong ami injustice , wherever they exist _, it matters very little whether tho thief and

      oppressor be on Hounslow Heath , or in the region of Westminster , our duty is the same . He must be " put down , " or else we must submit . Even governments are not—or should not be—exempt from this law . A government should exercise authority and influeuceforthe benefit of the people whose servant it is ; and , when we see it dealing justly and impartially to all , itis our bounden duty to respect and support it . But when a government forgets its duties to the people , demanding " money or life , " the people are _unquestionably justified in seeking the overthrow of that government , and in using every means in their power to effect it .

      This publication , too , will be enlarged on tiie 1 st of January . The under-current of Democratic progress is evidentl y making headway .

      Reynolds 'S Political Instructor. Edited...

      Reynolds ' s Political Instructor . Edited by G . W . M . Reynolds . Part I . London : J . Dicks , Wellington Street North , Strand . The first monthl y part of this exceedingl y cheap and good pennyworth of political information fall y justifies the praise we bestowed on the first number . The articles by the Editor and his several contributors are first-rate , both as regards the princip les advocated , and the abilit y displayed b y the writers . "A New History of England , " together with histories of " The Aristocracy , " and "Human Slavery , " are invaluable contributions to the good work of popular enli g htenment . The other contributions on political and social questions are too numerous to specif y . We give the following extracts from two articles by the

      editor;—A LESSOX TOR IKS PEOPLE . "When we sec thousands and thousands collecting to behold the ginger-bread pageantry of Lord Mayor ' s Day , and the feudal splendour of a young German Prince who has been fortunate enough to become the Queen ' s husband , and to whom the people are unfortunate enough to have to pay about £ 47 , 000 a year , independently of his royal wife ' s immense revenue , —when we remember that these traditionary specimens of barbaric mummery would not be persisted in at all , were it not for the species of enthusiasm that appears to welcome their appearance —and when we recollect that they would sink into utter insignificance and perish of pure inanition were the people to display a rational spirit by

      remaining away from them , —we really think that it is the fault of the millions themselves if common sense be thus insulted by the donkeyism of Lord's Mayor ' s Day and the flunkey ism of princely processions . But so long a 3 such spectacles shall have the power of inspiring the multitudes with a childish delight , how could we bo surprised if the youth of nineteen or twenty should suddenly leave his father ' s table to indulge in a game of marbles ? And were such a thing known to happen , every one would exclaim in mingled disgust and pity , " You will never make a man of one whose mind is so thoroughly childish ! " Yet those persons of mature years who flock to feast their eyes upon the despicable nonsense of a Lord Mayor ' s Show or the gaud

      _auu _gutrer oi a rrince s procession , are equally liable to have the strength of their minds and the solidity of their intelligence very grievously suspected . Let it however be observed that the middleclasses are even more childish and puerile in these respects than many of the working-classes . Your middle-class man will run a mile to see a lord—a real , living lord ;—and if the said lord , should only enter his shop , he will talk of the incident for a year afterwards . The men who are the heroes of the tom-foolery of Lord Mayor ' s Day and who don their Sunday ' s best to give a Prince what they call " a fitting welcome , " likewise belong to the middleclass . The Lord Mayor is a member of that class : the individuals forming the committee for the opening of the Coal Exchange were members of that class;—and at ail such exhibitions the wealthy merchants and chiefs of the shopocracy are Sure to

      have a finger in the management and arrangements . Then , what of the aristocracy ? Why , at the public strangulation of the Mannin gs , there were present numerous scions of that oligarchical class . One " noble lord " paid ten guineas for a seat and drove down in his cab at six o ' clock on the fatal morning , alighting in Great Suffolk-street , and repairing on foot to the house where " a window" was reserved for his special behoof . Another " noble lord " entertained seven or ei ght " honourables" at a champage breakfast in a public-house commanding a view o the hideous scene;—and " gentlemen of fashion" were aa -plentiful on the occasion as " gentlemen of tho swellmob . " Thus did the representatives and scions of the immaculate aristocracy mingle with tho multitudes whom , on their return to their Clubs , they denounced as "the rabble , " the "riff-raff , " " the unwashed , " & e . & e .

      Now , what is the lesson that these facts should teach the working-classes ? That they would in future do well to abstain from visiting either si ghts of pomp or flights of horror . By acting in this manner , they will 6 how their intelligence in the one sense and their humanity in the other . Do the people wish to put an end to trumpery raree-shows and tbe false , hollow , and barbarian splendour which only stands out in more tremendous contrast with tbe rags , squalor , and destitution ofthe sons and daughters of toil ? Do the people wish

      to put an end to the punishment of death and all its demoralising influences upon society ? I am certain that the response to both queries is in the affirmative . Then , let the people abstain from gathering in crowds to gaze open-mouthed upon the tinsel shows which ought to be despised , and the barbarian scenes which ought to be execrated . By adopting this course , they will prove that their intelligence , and their humanity are alike in advance of the intelligence and humanity of the upper and middle-classes .

      chartism . Where is the element of disorder in this system ? —how does it merit to be held up as a bugbear ?—why do the Government and the press denounce it ? Because the six principles whereon Chartism is based — or rather , which constitute Chartism—are the subline effluence of Truth ; and Truth is dreaded by those who fatten upon the _rotteness of political institutions and the corruption of vitiated society . The Government denounces Chartism , because that Government belongs to the Aristocracy and not to the people—because it springsfrom an oligarchy and not from tho nation ;—and the Press denounces Chartism , because the newspapers , with a few glorious exceptions , are either subsidized by the

      Government , or are the property of men belonging to those classes which have usurped all rights , all privileges , and all powers _. Thus the world has been viewing Chartism through & false medium ; and the consequence is that many persons who are naturally well-disposed and even of liberal tendencies , have been taught to look upon Chartism with abhorrence . It has heen the study , because it has been the interest , ofthe Government to throw all possible odium upon Chartism ; and the newspaper organs have artfully contrived , while seconding that view , to associate all infamy , all horror , and all ideas of spoliation , with the names of Charhsu and Chartists , carefully avoiding all calm and dispassionate discussion of the principles . A scented , kid-gloved , and white-waiscoated aristocratic Member of Parliament would as soon be accused of having brought the pestilence with him from Cairo , as of being

      a Chartist ; and yet this man might possibly hold the very doctrines enunciated by Chartism , if he were intelligent enough to think for himself , and honest enough to avow the result of his thinking . Amillocratwill say to his overlooker , "We will have no Chartists in our factory ;"—and a rich West-end tailor or linen-draper , who keeps his carriage would discharge his groom or his footman , if he were to overhear either one _whispering to his fellow servants a confession that he was a Chartist . Thus , my dear readers , yen perceive that the slur is thrown upon the name , and not upon the principles o f Chartism . For the latter are beyond all possibility of attack : no argument can destroy thom—no sophistry refute them;—and thus those who dread Chartism because it is a system of _Tflcrn , have recourse to the dirty , mean , and despicable expedient of dragging its name in the mire , , Were the name of Chartism altered to some other urn , still preserving however the principles whole

      Reynolds 'S Political Instructor. Edited...

      and entire , how many thousands of persons would exc " » . "Ah ; this is indeed a g lorious system ! I shall give my instantaneous adhesion to it . All honest and ri ght-minded men ought to support it . " Such would be the exclamation j and those who hwvesheen taught by influential friends , by habit , by the Press , and by the constant outpourings of aristocratic and middle-claw virulence , to look upon Chartism as a monstrosity , and its adherents as brigands , would rush to array themselves under the standard ofthe same doctrines with another name . But those doctrines shall retain the namo of Chartism—because it is more glorious for tho votaries

      of Truth to conquer prejudices than to concedeany point to the ignorance and illiberality of classes . Yes—the name of Chartism shall be preserved , because many good and great men have already embarked in the cause—suffered in its behalf , and valiantly fought the battle of common sense against despotism and _intoUa-ance . It shall be preserved , because the working classes love it and are proud ofit : ~ and , inasmuch as the real intelligence ofthe c ountry resides in the masses , those who were the first to appreciate the sublime truths of Chartism shall not be called upon to abandon one tittle of all they have learnt to admire , ' to uphold , and to demand—no , not even the name !

      What is the mission of Chartism ? A peaceful , legal , and constitutional change in those systems which are invested with too much of ancient feudalism to suit modern civilisation . Chartism does not contemplttte a bloody revolution—does not want it ; its very votaries would he the first to suffer by such an insane course . Chartism does not intend _spoliationTind general plunder : its leaders and its adherents are too honest and too humane , too iust and too generous , to entertain such a barbarous idea . Chartism does not seek to unset _Bocietv : its

      apostles and disciples are intelligent philanthropists whose object is to remodel , and not to destroy . Those who lire by industry , are not desirous to paralyse _industry . they will not burn the dwellings which shelter their own heads , nor the corn-fields which feed their mouths . Away , then , with all calumny relative to the Chartists and Chartism : be ye honest , 0 Aristocracy , if ye can—and ye too , 0 Middle-class ,. if you will—and confess at length tbat Chartism is truth , _notfalsehood—philanthropy , not atrocity—order , not chaos !

On Sunday last , a London Gazette Extraordinary was issued announcing the death ofthe Queen Adelaide , the Consort ofthe late William the Fourth , in tho following terms : — ¦ Whi tehall , December 2 nd , 1849 . _TliiB morning , at seven minutes before two o ' clock , her Majesty the Queen Dowager departed this life , at Stanmore Priory , to the great grief of her Majesty and of all the Royal family , after a long and protracted illness , which she bore with exemplary patience . The loss of this most excellent princess will be deeply mourned by all classes of her Majesty ' s subjects , to whom her many eminent virtues rendered her the object of universal estoem and afifccfc ' on .

      Most of the deceased Princess ' s relatives were resident in the Priory at the time of her death , that event having been expected for some time back . Expresses were immediately afterwards forwarded to the Queen and the other members of tho Royal Family , as well as to the Lord Mayor of London , and the great bell of St . Paul ' s _vsas tolloo , as customary , upon such occasions . We abridge the following biographical notice from the Times and Daily News : — " The late Queen Dowager was the daughter of one ofthe petty Princes of Germany . Saxe-Meiningen is very nearly the smallest State in Europe , not half the size of an English county , with a metropolis consisting of about 600 houses . _Georco , the late

      reigning Duke of that miniature sovereignty , espoused a daughter of the House of _Hohenlohe-Langenburgh ; their eldest daughter was the Princess who has resided amongst us for thirty years . The late Queen Dowager Amelia Adelaide Louisa Theresa Carolina was born on the 13 th of August , 1792 , a period of much anxiety to aU Sovereign Princes and their families . In the year 1803 her father died , the Princess Adelaide being then only eleven years of svge , whilo hor brother and sister were both younger still . To the guardianship of their mother , the dowager Duchess , these youthful descendants of the House of Saxe-Meiningen were of course confided . They received their education in comparative retirement , especially the two

      Princesses . The early years of the Princess Adelaide were passed alternately at the ducal palace in the capital city of Meiningen , and at the castle of Altenstcin , a country residence , where the reigning family were accustomed to spend the summer months . Her late Majesty Queen Charlotte—the mother of King William IV . —heing herself the daughter of one who ruled a little German State , took a natural interest in all who belonged to her own order , and it so happened that while the Princess Adelaide was vet in early youth the fame of her discretion and her virtues reached the English Court . To the grief of this nation the Princess Charlotte of Wales and her infant child were , in the monthcOovember , 1 BV 7 , consigned to the tomb ;

      the Regent was childless ; and four of the Royal Dukes , Clarence , Kent , Cambridge , and Gloucester —though all advanced in life—resolved forthwith to contract matrimonial alliances . The late Duko of York being married and without issue , it was naturally considered that thc descendants ofthe Duke of Clarence , if he should marry , would stand next in succession to the throne . At the especial instance of Queen Charlotte he solicited the hand ofthe Princess Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen , and his suit was successful , " for seldom Princes sue in vain . " The preliminaries of their union having been settled in London , and at Meiningen by _Plenipotentarien on both sides , and the Regent in council havinir signified his assent , the young German

      Princess , m the twenty-sixth year of her age , quitted her fatherland to espouse an elderly gentleman of fifty-three . Her Serene Highness , accompanied by her mother , and attended by a numerous suite , arrived in London on the 4 th of July , 1818 , and took up her temporary abode at Grillon ' s Hotel , whither the Regent and the Duke of Clarence immediately went to greet her arrival , though the hour was as late as ten o ' clock at night . On the uthofthe 8 _amo month the Princess was presented to Queen Charlotte , and on the 18 th her marriage took place . The Duke and Duchess of Kent had previously been married at Leiningen ; but as it was deemed expedient that they should be re-married in England , their Royal Highnesses paid a short visit to this . country for that purpose , and

      their second nuptials took place at Kew upon the day that the Duke and Duchess of Clarence were married ; the same ceremony serving to unite both brothers to their respective consorts . At these Royal weddings there was nothing of the state or splendour which has _nm'ked _simvlftv _tvente in more recent times , the only persons present being the members ofthe Royal Family , the lord Chancellor , the Earl of Liverpool , Lord Sidmouth , and the necessary registrars . This double marriage was solemnised by the Archbishop of Canterbury , assisted by the Bishop of London ; the ceremony took place at three o ' clock in the afternoon ; the moment it was over the two _Prelates and tbe three Ministers of State took their departure , in the

      evening the Duke and _DueheBs of Clarence drove up to St . James ' s Palace , where they remained only a few days , and then proceeded for a short time to the Duke ' s residence at Bushy Park . His Boyal Highness soon after came to the resolution of spendin g sometime on the continent , and , accompanied b y the Duchess , he embarked at Dover in less than three weeks after his marriage , and proceeded by way of Calais travelled onwards to Hanover , After the l apse of a year the Puke and _DuchesB returned to England , from that time forward residing chiefly at Bushy-park . "However happy this union with the Princess Adelaide may have been , the hopes with which it was formed were in one respect disappointed ; He had no heir , one child only , the Princess Elizabeth , having been borne alive , and she was committed to

      the grave m a very few months after her birth , With the exception of two visits to Germany , one in the year 1822 , and the other in 1825 , it cannot be said that the life of the Duchess of Clarence was much varied ; but this apparent absence of exciting pursuits resulted not from incapicity of enjoyment , but partly from ill-health , and somewhat , also , from prudential considerations . In the comparative privacy of Bushy-park , therefore , she would have _betu _abundantly happy but for the feeble state of her constitution , which even then gave warning of the premature old age that has prevented her reaching the ordinary limit of human existence . Since her marriage twelve years had elapsed and her Royal Highness was still Duchess of Clarence ; on the 20 th of June , 1830 , she becamo Queen of England . 'Onthe 1 st of August , 1831 the Queen assisted her Royal Consort in opening New London-bridge ,

      Death Of The Queen Dowager. On Sunday La...

      and on the . day following a bill received the royal assent granting in the event of Queen Adelaido surviving the King a provision of £ 100 , 000 per annum for life . Bushy-park and Marlborough House to be assigned as residences for her Majesty during life . "On the Sth of September , in the same year , the coronation of tho late King and Queen Adelaide took place at Westminster Abbey . In accordance with the wishes of tlieir Majesties , tho ceremonial was shorn of the extravagant pageantry and _chivalric absurdities which distinguished that of the previous sovereign , yet the inauguration was imposing and not attended by an enormouse expense . "In November ( the 15 th ) much public consternation was occasioned by the dismissal of tho

      _Melbourne ministry ny tne King , and owing to tho public insinuation that the Queon h : td influenced his Majesty in the dissolution of the Whig administration , she for tho only time in her lift suffered in popular favour . " The spring of 1837 was one of mourning . The Queen Adelaido received the information of tho demise of her mother , on the 29 th of April , having attained the age of sixty-eight years . " Before the Queen had recovered from that bereavement , the fatal illness of the late King commenced ; symptoms which indicated organic aisease of the heart became perceptible , and of a nature never likely to yield to medical treatment . In reference to the conduct of that illustrious lady during the trying illness of the lato Kine . tho late

      Archbishop of Canterbury , at a charitable meeting held shortly after the decease of the King , said that ' For three weeks prior to his dissolution , the Queen sat by his bedside , performing for bim every office which a sick man could require , and depriving herself of all manner of rest and refection ; she underwent labours which I thought no ordinary woman could endure ; no language can do justice to her meekness , and to the calmnoss of mind which she sought to preserve before the King , while sorrow was preying on her heart ; such constancy of affection , I think , waB one of tho most interesting spectacles that could be presented to a mind desiring to be gratified by the sight of human excellence . ' Tho King expired in the arms of his

      exemplary and faithful partner . "During the last seven or eight years Queen Adelaide ' s health—never good—has been rapidly declining , and even before the death of tho King she found frequent change of residence necessary to the preservation of life . Soon after her accession to the throne she visited Germany , on that occasion travelling incognita under the title of Duchess of Lancaster ; and , as well before as during hev widowhood , she has been more accustomed to migration than even the most restless members of tho higher and wealthier classes in this country , for to her repented variation of abode had long been a matter moro of necessity than of choice . Her Majesty has visited not only many _narts of _England and the

      continent , but " also the ' islands of Madeira and Malta ; at the latter place the church of Valetta was founded and endowed by her munificence . She likewise contributed to almost every public charity , and to the funds of nearl y all the societies engaged in the advancement of religion , amongst which arc the Society for the Propogation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts , the Colonial Bishopric Fund , the Sons ofthe Clergy , the churches in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland , the Emigrants Episcopial Fund , the churches in Australia and Cape Town ; the cathedral at Adelaide , and that also at Newfoundland ; the London Diocesan Board of Education , tho Bagged Schools Fund , the National Society , the

      Christian Knowledge Society , the Church Building Society , the Church Missionary . Society , tho Metropolis Churches Fund . It was the practice also of her Majesty to subscribe largely to all the charities in every place where sho happened even for a timo to reside . The latter part of her life was ono long disease . During the last two or three months her Majesty was so grievously indisposed as hardly ever to havo quitted her private apartments . Shortly before sho expired all suffering seemed to cease , and sho retained to the last perfect composure of mind . " A Supplementary Gazette , published on Monday , ordered the omission , in future , ofthe prayer for the Queen Dowager wherever it occurs in the Book of Common Prayer .

      We have reason to believe that the usual ceremony of "lying in state" will be dispensed with , for the first timo during many centuries , in the case of her late Majesty tho Queen Dowager . It appears that an objection exists to the ceremony tailing place at Bontley Priory in consequence of that mansion not being Royal property . Tho removal of the late Queen ' s remains to London for the purpose is also thought undesirable on many accounts , not the least of which is said to he the great risk of accident from the rush of spectators

      who would inevitably endeavour to obtain admission to tho ceremony . Another deviation from the usual custom with deceased members ofthe Royal family is the omission of tho process of embalming the bedy , which has been dispensed with by express desire of her late lamented Majesty . The second coffin , which is lined throughout with lead , was sent down to Stanmore on Wednesday . The funeral , it is generally supposed , will take place at Windsor on Saturday , the I 5 th inst ., in a most private manner .

      Tire Guards Asd The Lise.—Tho Siecle Rel...

      Tire Guards asd the Lise . —Tho Siecle relates the following . — " A circumstance took place a short time since in one of our central cities which will furnish matter" for a new chapter in the celebrated tribulation of the National Guard . A citizen soldier on coming to theguard-housoin the evening , found that he had forgotten his kepi ( foraging cap . ) He demanded permission frora his officer to go home and seek this necessary appendage , in order to protect his head from the cold during the night . The officer , however , who knew tho difficulty of again collecting his flock when once thoy were allowed to stray from the fold , refused , but told him that as a patrol would probably have to pass his house ho might avail himself of that opportunity to fetch the

      article . The honest citizen was compelled to resign himself to this decision , and at the appointed hour started with the patrol . On reaching his house he requested his comrades to halt , and gave a loud knock at the door . It was for some time unanswered , but at length a window was open , and tho voice of his young and pretty better half demanded who it was that thus demanded admission . The husband insisted that she should open the door without delay , but to this she made a thousand objections—it was late , sho had no light , and moreover it was cold to come down . The husband insisted , and became angry , but at length yielded to tho arguments of his fair spouse , and requested her to tnrow him his kepi . She retired from the

      window , and in a moment returned and threw tho object in question to her lord and master . He pocketed it , and marched off . On the rounds of the patrol being finished , thoy returned to the guard house , when our hero took the kepi from his pocket and prepared to make himself comfortable , but _UO sooner had ho seated himself by the fire , and begun to compose himself for a nap , than his comrades begun to laugh . On demanding the cause of their merriment one of them said , " Why , my dear , how many campaigns have you made that you should have so suddenly been made an officer ? " "I an officer ! " said he ; " what do you mean ? you see by my worsted epaulettes that I am only a simplo

      chasseur . " " It " would appear , however , by your kepi , " said his tormentor , " that you are a captain in the regiment ofthe line . " " In the line !" said the husband , "what a stupid joke . " " _Parbluel why then look at your kepi , and you will seo that what 1 say is true . " The unfortunate husband took the kepi from his head , and thero found the cause ofthe disinclination of his spouse to let him into the house . The _kepiwas that of the captain in a regimont iB garrison in the town . The suite of tho affair may be divined . The husband ran with all speed to his house ; he found his wife alone , who accused him loudly of calumniating innocence . Nevertheless , a trial and a judicial separation have been , it was said , the result of the adventure .

      Combat wiiu i Tiger . —Battavia , Sew . 2 Q . — From the Residency , Rom \> ang , a communication has been received of a rare instance of the intrepidity ofa native , which has been crowned with an extraordinary fortunate result . This native , named Wiro Dipo , went at nine o ' clock in the morning of the 1 st of August to the forest situate nearth _» _Dessa Dagan , intonding to search for Areen leaves to make mats of : and he had provided himself with a hatchet fit to out grass and light wood . Shortly after his entra-ce into the forest , he discovered , at a short distance behind him , a tiger ofthe largest kind ready to spring upon him . Without awaiting the leap , Wiro Dipo himself attacked the monster , and gave him Borne wounds with his light

      weapon , _wmcncauseu tne iiger to tanuown roaring dragging his assailant down with him ; but the last succeeded in raising himself , and in giving a number of blows to the tiger , who expired under them . Wiro Dipo came without any wound out of this battle , and it is believed that this nearly inexplicable circumstance may be ascribed to the rapidity and intrepidity with which Wire Dipo anticipated the leap of tne tiger , and to the fear which thus must have caused to tho tiger , the timorous as well as cruel nature of this kind of animal-being sufficiently known . The skin ofthe tiger was measured afterwards , and it was then found that it ' s length from the nose to tho beginning of the tail was five feet two inches , and including the tail eight feet five and a half inches .

      A Govkrnmbnt _CmuiBUTiox to Science . — A letter has been addressed to the council by Lord John Russell , offering to place at tbe disposal of the Royal Society , for scientific purposes , this year , £ 1 , 000 , and probably the same amount in successive years . It is quite unnecessary for us to say , that the offer has been accepted . Governments subsidies to Science and her sisters are not sufficiently numerous to make an announcement like this uninteresting to our readers . The money given is not the sole good : the measure marks progress , whilt it aids it . _—Athemum .

If he subdue them , it is an act of violenco contrary to right , which may consequently be recovered . If they mako him lord , it is for their own sakes , not for his ; and ho _rnusi seek their good , not his own , lest ho degenerate from a king into atvrant . He , therefore , who would persuade

      as that tho dominion of every nation does naturally belong to one man , woman , or child—at a venture —or to their heir , ( whatever ho or she be , as to age , sex , or other qualifications ) , must prove it good for all nations to be under them .

      victim op a rnoor reader . An American editor tells the following story . He was visited by a " victim of a proof reader , " who addressed himself to tho editor as follows : — " Two years ago 1 was in love . I was jilted . Hang details ; the upshot is the main thing . Well , I had tried the young lady and found her wanting ; and I thought I would quote a line of Scripture unto her , as a motto for some bitter and reproachful verses . " So holding a manuscript in one hand high up , and placing the other arm a-kimbo , he read as follows : — " TO ONE FOUND WASTING . " Mene , mene _, tekel , _upharsin !"—Scripture , " Thou art no moro , what once I knew

      Thy heart and guileless tongue to be ; Thou art no longer pure and true , Nor fond , to one who knelt to thee ; Who knelt , and deemed thee all his own Nor knew a dearer wish beside ; Who made his trembling passion known , And looked tc own thee for a bride . What is the vow that once I heard From those balm-breathing lips of thine ? Broken , ah ! broken , word by word , E ' en while I worshipped at thy shrine ! Broken by thee , to whom I bowed , As bends the wild-flower to the breeze , As bent the Chaldeen , through the cloud , To Orion and the Pleiades .

      But thou art lost . ' and I no more Must drink thy undeceiving glance ; Our thousand fondling spells ave o ' er—Our raptured moments in the dance , Vanished , like dew-drops from the spray , Are moments which in beauty flew ; I cast life ' s brightest pearl away , And false one breathe my last adieu !"
