pression. He then moved, "That Lord Cochrane be requested to present the' Pecat tition."

A Speaker who did not appear to be known to the meeting moved as an amend. C ment, That Sir Francis Burdett and In Lord Cochrane present the Petition,"

To

Mr. Elliott seconded the proposition of the last speaker. Sir Francis Burdett, he observed, was the tried friend of the people; and, after much confusion the Chairman put the question, as to uniting the name of Sir F. Burdett with that of Lord Cochrane; and it was voted unanimously, that the name of Sir Francis should be associated with that of Lord Cochrane in the Resolution.

Mr. Hunt declared, it gave him sincere satisfaction to see such unanimous feelings evinced at the name of Sir Francis Burdett. He had now but two motions more to sub. mit to them: first, that they do adjourn to the second Monday after the meeting of Parliament; and, secondly, that Sir Francis Burdett and Lord Cochrane be respectfully requested to attend the meeting on that day at the usual hour-one o'clock.

After a few words from Mr. Pendril, the two propositions were carried unani. mously, and with great applause.

The thanks of the meeting were then unanimously voted to Mr. Hunt, for his attending them that day, and for the exertions he made in their cause.

Mr. Hunt then observed, that he accepted the high compliment just paid to him, because he was conscious that he had done all that lay in his power to deserve it. The approving voice of his countrymen was the law he was ever ready to obey. He had two motives for having his horse to ride home on; one, because he did not wish to see his countrymen degrade themselves by acting in the capacity of horses; the other, to convince them that he was not afraid to trust himself in the midst of his countrymen without being inclosed in a bullet-proof

voted to Mr. Clarke, the Chairman, for his impartial conduct during the whole proceedings.

Mr. Clarke shortly addressed the meeting, which then adjourned to the second Monday after the meeting of Parliament, at the same place, at one o'clock.

Mr. Hunt mounted his horse, amidst the incessant shouts of the multitude: who accompanied him to his hotel in Bouveriestreet. And the immense populace at the meeting finally retired tolerable peaceable to their homes.

The Lord Mayor has issued a public notice calling upon the Magistrates of the metropolis and its vicinity to send aboard the Helder frigate, which is stationed off the Tower, all distressed foreign seamen and soldiers found in their districts, to the end that they may be lodged and fed there until they can be sent home to their native country.

Recent advices from Bengal state that the Governor-General (late Lord Moira, now created Marquis of Hastings) was expected to leave the presidency for the upper provinces. The Rajah of Jeypore, whose territory was subject to continual predatory. incursions by the Pindarres, had required the protection of our Government, which it was understood, would be afforded him, although it was inimical to the views of Scindia and the Mahratta Government, whose demands on the Rajah would of course be resisted; this was expected to produce a war with the Peishwa, but the general opinion did not encourage the idea, as our army was so well equipped, and in high condition for active service, that it would deter the Mahratta Government from any declarations hostile to the British interests.

AFRENCH journal states that letters in

England are without encouragement, public or private! now it is well known that a living writer of poetry has received a sum for his productions which it would startle a Frenchman to name. We believe we may safely state that his gains for one year, by mere literature, have amounted to six thousand pounds. In England, we know nothing of government encouragement of literature, with the exception of the Laureate's shabby two hundred a year ;—we keep the government to its proper business, and leave the remuneration of our writers to the booksellers, who very wisely buy nothing that will not sell. What they can afford to give, therefore, and do give to our authors, is good aud faithful proof of the means and intellect of our people, and hence it affords important information as to our general national condition and character. Thomas Moore's new poem is eagerly expected, and the booksellers, we believe, hold themselves prepared to give two or three thousand pounds for it. Madame D'Arblay (late Miss Burney) is now living in France; she can declare, we apprehend, that for her last novel, which was not her best, she did not receive less than fifteen bundred pounds. Mr. Murray, bought the last tragedy that appeared for four hundred pounds. Mr. Coleridge's caprice of Christabel procured him, we are assured, a bank note for one hundred pounds. The copy right of The Rejected Addresses, and of a few parodies of Horace, was purchased for one thousand pounds of the authors, and 16,000 copies, at least, have been sold. Lord Byron's poetical works have produced to one person or another a sum that may fairly be described as forming a considerable fortune. Mr. Southey has amassed a large and most valuable library, and lives in comfort and great respectabiTity, solely by his literary exertions. The Edinburgh Review sells nearly twelve thousand copies four times a year :-it is a splendid property to its editor and its publishers, -while forty, fifty, sixty, and a hundred pounds are given for each of the Essays of which it is composed. We believe we have stated enough to make our French author lick his lips at English encouragement of letters. He has been most unlucky in his

assertions for almost each of them admits of a denial as to the matter of fact. Ignorant, indeed, must he be, who represents literature as neglected and unsupported in England of late years. If he had said that the popular eagerness and liberality had done mischief in the opposite way to that of starvation, he might have written to the prejudice of the country, which he hates for its superiority, with some effect.
