PARIS, Jan. 20.-To-morrow, Friday, 21st January, the annual service for his Majesty Louis XVI. will be performed at 10 o'clock in the morning in the Metropolitan church. The Arbhbishop of Paris will officiate. The Etoile was not published on Saturday, the office being closed on Friday on account of the solemnization of the anniversary of the death of Louis XVI. PARIS, JAN. 21.-The Etoile, a Ministerial Journal, whilst reproaching Mr. Canning for treating with the republics of South America as independent States, menaces him with the Indies and Ireland. It is from hence, according to this paper, that vengeance will come. As to the Indies, it is known that the English have remarked with surprise that the Birmans manœuvred according to the rules of European discipline, and that they used arms made in Russia. This discovery has created some sensation in London. To it is attributed the project formed of putting an end to the system of temporization adopted by the British Cabinet; and, by inevitable consequences the sudden recognition of the States of South America. It is thought also that Mr. Stratford Canning is charged to demand, with respect to these two objects of the first importance, precise explanations from the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh. Advices of the 26th ult. from Odessa, referring to letters from Constantinople of the 17th, speak highly of the prospects of the Greeks. The accounts assert, that the fleet of Ibrahim Pasha is entirely dispersed. They say that that Commander had entered into secret negociations with some of the Greek Chiefs, and particularly with Colocotroni, to favour a descent of the Turks on the Morea. The Greek Leaders appear to be more inveterate in their animosities against each other than even against their Infidel enemies; but yet no satisfactory evidence has ever been adduced that they would sacrifice to these private quarrels the public cause of their country. It may be satisfactory to some of our mercantile friends to learn, that the communications by post from Frankfort to the South of France, and to various parts of Germany, have been lately accelerated; insomuch that a whole day is gained in the correspondence with Strasburg, Nancy, Dijon, Lyon, and Marseilles, as also with Stockach and Constance; and half a day in that with Carlsruhe, Fribourg, and Stuttgard. STEAM ENGINES IN RUSSIA.-It is not generally known that the Emperor of Russia has ordered from Paris two Steam Engines of eighty-horse power, which are to be employed in the powder manufactories at Moscow. The Emperor is said also to have it in contemplation to explore the lately discovered mines in the interior of his kingdom by means of this stupendous production of human science. In the course of another year, it is more than probable that a Steam Engine Manufactory of considerable extent will be established in St Petersburgh, as an enterprising Englishman, named Munro, has lately had several conferences with the Russian Ministry on the subject. The advantages of such an establishment to the Russian Empire would be very great, and there cannot be a doubt of the facilities which would attend it.-Mechanics' Magazine. the mother replied they were still in bed; the Magistrates requested to be led to their bed rooms, and were conducted first to that of the eldest daughter: the youngest was asked for, and the mother replied that she slept in the same bed as the eldest. This appeared not possible, from the size of the bed, and all the other rooms were examined. The mother passed by one without entering it, saying she had not the key in her pocket, but she soon afterwards found it, and opened the room. A disagreeable smell was immediately sensible, and, on entering it, a young girl was discovered, about 13 years old, who was a mere skeleton, pale and dry, covered rather with vermin than clothes, and having no bed, but a wretched mattress placed beneath a window, several panes in which were broken. She had been in this chamber for six months: every day she received a piece of bread hardly sufficient to appease her hunger. Several times she had been obliged, she said, to drink filthy water; and she had neither chemise nor gown. The servants of the house did not know of her existence.-One night the cook-maid was terribly alarmed by seeing a young thing, all covered with rags, dart into her kitchen and carry off a piece of bread; that morning she had received no ration, and her door had fortunately been left unlocked.

London: printed by JOHN HUNT, in Broad-street, Golden-square, and publis by him at the raminer Office, 38, Tavistock-street: Covent garden We are decidedly of opinion, that on particular occasions a mere statement of matter of fact, unaided by much of other reasoning or illustration, forms a stronger appeal to common sense than the most elaborate disquisition. In the spirit of this conviction, we shall present our readers with a list of the various new schemes at present before the public, for the employment of British capital, without the delivery. of any opinions of our own on the comparative merit of their pretensions, beyond a remark or two on the distinctive features of the various lines of adventure. Our purpose, indeed, is rather to form a great general inference, than a series of particular conclusions-to shew by the very nature of the circumstances how necessarily the major part of this speculation must end delusively. When it is rendered unequirocally apparent, that a certain number of things cannot possibly exist together, it is trite to observe, that a portion of that number must fail in some stage or other; and that they should fail as soon as posable, is doubtless the most desirable consummation. The following is a list, and if not inclusive of all these projects, it a quite sufficiently so for the purpose to which we have alluded: British Mining Association Equitable Mining English Mining Hibernian Mining Company Irish Mining Mr. Rothschild's Welch Mining Company South Wales ditto Welsh Iron and Coal ditto Anglo Mexican Anglo-Chilian FOREIGN MINES, &c.

We copy the following list, for instance, from the Edinburgh Times, a spirited journal of liberal principles, the first number of which was published on the 22d instant: List of the principal Joint Stock Companies, which have been publicly proposed, and, separately, or by union, established in Edinburgh, within the last two months:-Edinburgh and Leith Dock Company; Edinburgh and Dalkeith Rail-road Company; Edinburgh and Glasgow Rail-road Company; Berwick and Kelso Rail-road Company; East Lothian Rail-road Company; Scottish Union Insurance Company; Commercial Marine Insurance Company: Scottish Union Banking Company; National Bank of Scotland; Scottish Union Commercial Banking Company; Scottish Wool Stapling Company; Shotts Iron Joint Stock Company; Caledonian Iron and Foundry Company; Edinburgh and Leith Glass Company; Albion Glass Company; Scottish Porter Brewing Company; Caledonian Porter Brewing Company; British Distillery Company; Joint Stock Whale 100,000 611,000 200,000 100,000 Fishing Company: Edinburgh Cotton and Flax Spinning Company; Edinburgh Dairy Company, for the supply of Milk, the feeding of Veal, the making of Cheese, &c. &c.; Equitable Loan, or Pawnbroker Company; Albyn Company, for the purpose of investing money on Heritable Properties in Edinburgh, &c. &c.; Equitable Building Company, for the purpose of building Houses in the vicinity of Edinburgh for Workmen, &c. &c.; Joint Stock Company for the Manufacturing of Paper; Joint Stock Company for the Printing of Law-papers. In short, setting aside the extreme ignorance of political economy and trading principles betrayed in much of the foregoing scheming, the amount of capital required, avowedly upwards of one hundred millions, implies a sudden transfer of property upon merely speculative views that would scarcely be warranted upon the clearest demonstration. Much of it is also for the cultivation of objects which will produce little advantage to the country, even when fortunate to individuals,—such as the foreign mining adventure. The bustle of fictitiously-created property, or surplus capital, under the operation of a gradual reduction to its real value by the force of circumstance, is a curious subject for contemplation; and the proposed creation of employment for it, without demand, will not render it less so. It is no doubt obvious, that the features of these various appeals to unemployed capital are very materially distinguished from one another. For instance, the application of scientific discoveries to the promotion of commercial facilities and local improvement, like Railroads and Steam Navigation, are not to be classed with schemes founded on a mere spirit of trading adventure or speculative scheming of individuals. The same observation may also be made in regard to such as rest on the presumed advantage of great works, as Docks, Ship Canals, Piers, &c. as well possibly as upon certain Banking and Assurance Schemes. In one point of view, however, they must be all regarded alike, we mean in reference to the vast transfer of capital required to carry them into simultaneous effect, and consequently, independent of legislative backwardness, the utter absurdity of a great number of them, with a view to the benefit of anybody or anything, except the projectors. For the sake of argument, we will admit that all are feasible; what would be the consequence? At best, the most momentous transfer of property and employment, in the twinkling of an eye, that was ever known in any age or nation. Strong-minded politicians might get over this fact; but how are the opposing interests to be paralysed? They cannot be made weak or inoperative; hence, even in the most favourable point of view, the delusion of so much of this giddy speculation, and its inutility to all but the adventurers and jobbers who originate it. Some of these plans are formed so entirely in a spirit of gaming adventure, as for instance the Foreign Mining adventures, that it would be as useless to offer a formal argument against the game of Blind Hazard, as against the spirit which leads people to deal with them, either with a view to an immediate jobbing gain, or to the ultimate result. Persons of this description require no statements from us; but satisfied as we are that the pernicious example of much temporary gain in the buying and selling way, is tempting people both in country and town to venture their little hoards, to whom ultimate loss would be very ruinous, and to whom such loss is far more probable than to others, we have drawn up the foregoing rapid statement, to show the utter absurdity of the prosperity of such a variety of fresh applications of capital at one time. We might venture to assert, that even some of the undertakings that will be ultimately useful, will benefit the speculators very little in a pecuniary point of view, while many of them are evident absurdities. Everybody may recollect the rage for Joint Stock Companies a few years ago, which vanished away in smoke; and a contemplation of the preceding list, and of the nature of much of the specified speculation, must satisfy every reflective person that it will be so again. Of the number of projects, it would be unjust to deny that several will be useful to the country; whatever they may prove to the final shareholders; but even good effected this way often produces a very pernicious species of temporary suffering. At all events, a sober consideration of the above list will be of service to minor speculators, if we have such among our readers; and to such consideration we look for the due impression, much more than to these very cursory observations. THE WISHING-CAP. No. XXIV. LOVE AND THE COUNTRY. Hic nemus; hic ipso tecum consumerer ævo. VIRGIL. Q. Ir is a large low cottage, smoking among the trees, with its back to a couple of green hills that shelter it from the north and east. Every fing is neat everything is quiet. Listen to the bees!-What meadows go down there to the plain! What rich trees are about us, elms, oaks, and beeches; not rich in fruit, but rich in verdure a leaves, and food for poetry. By heavens! this is better than Tuscar The pleasures there are all too tangible and sensual, all corn, wit and oil. Here man does not live by olives alone, but by these use trees also, which, among a number of other calumniated goods, are the face of them useless. "I love," exclaimed somebody on passing In moorland, to see some ground left in God Almighty's hands." say I. I love to see trees that look as if they were good for nothi ticular regard for those which the carpenter rejects with disdain. but to walk under, and to furnish us with a sentiment. I have a p know they do not exist for nothing; and I take them for what are,memorandums of the abundance and poetry of Nature. At the bottom of the grounds about the cottage, there is a lane by brook-side, which runs into a cross-country road. But the plac though solitary, is not desolate. There are some farms, and a nob has a fine library. The lanes branch off in all directions, some openin mansion not far off, where a hospitable old gentleman, the possesse into meadows, others into corn-fields, most of them between banks of earth surmounted with natural hedges. One of favourite spots is a bit of heath, looking up to a hill full of trees, of which peeps a summer-house. Another is a wilderness, where th roots of the old trees issue forth and twist over the ground. But know scarcely one which I prefer to certain meadows enriched wit elm-trees. I lie there very often in my WISHING-CAP, when the ha has been cut, and build castles in the air,—I should rather say cottages in the trees, for those whom I love. Is not this a pleasant place to come to of an evening? "What ca determined to make heavens of his afternoons? Task the most ambition man more desire," when he has been studying all the morning, and old bachelor, whether there have not been periods in his life, and th very best of them all, when the idea of such a cottage smokin among the trees, a kettle on the fire, and his arm round a slend waist, has not formed the "consummation," of all others "most d outly to be wished?" face for ever. L Accordingly, I have provided a wife for my reader. She is regularly handsome; but she has one of those faces, which a justly accounted more beautiful than beauty.

Sorrow might cut her to pieces, ere st upon you in kindness, she seems to thank and bless you, an would say a word to distress you: or if she did, she would repent with you, for she will give you as good as you bring.

It was a whim of her grandmother's to teach her; and of a cook; for I must own, that although not yet married, she has face to speak of the family she may have some day; and has even heard to say, that she should not like to make a very poor match, cause she hopes to have leisure enough to be her husband's panion; which, added she, is after all the first business of a though she blushed when she said it.
