      Besjxhls "Wyox . —This artist -was born in 1802 , and succeeded his father , Thomas Wyon , as chief engraver of Her Majesty ' s seals , in 1830 . The chief productions of the late gifted medalist were the great seal of George I"V ., a very masterly production , and a medal of Dr . Hutton . He at an early age gained the silver medal at the Royal Academy , for a head of Apollo , afterwards adopted by the Royal Academy as their prize medal . His later productions -were medals struck for the city of London in commemoration of the passing of the Reform BUI , the marriage of her Majesty , and the christening of the Prince of Wales ; . One of his most successful works is the Beaufoy prize medal , illustrating the works of Shakspeare . He has left a large family

      dependent upon his business , which will be carried on by his son . —Globe , Preservation of Medieval Customs . —The » Berlin correspondent of a contemporary has the following interesting account : — - " Last week there was hplden in a small village of Holstein , one of those mediaeval courts of equity now almost extinct throughout England and Germany ; The Schieswig-Holsteiners being Anglo-Saxons , pur sang , a few words on the Thiny Court will not fail to engage the attention of your readers . The scene is a Cluster of primeval oaks , planted nobody knows when , by nobody knows whom . The small town of Neumiinster and the modern institution of a railway track are visible in the distance . Two rustics , armed with formidable swords and pikes , are posted at the

      entrance of the grove , figuratively ready to destroy any living creature found trespassing within its precincts . In the middle of the sacred enclosure is seated the rustic judge , likewise sword at his side . Before him stands an uncouth table , with an iron cross upon it . His office is hereditary , and the tradition of his dignity has been handed down , from century to century . His two " schb ' ppen , " or co-judges , who are the elects of the parish , occupy the place at his side . Their weapon is a pike , the iron part of which is enveloped in a thin veil , symbolising that , though now sheathed , yet it can be used when occasion requires . The presence of a Royal magistrate is granted , but his interference strictly forbidden . Now the principal judge draws his sword and begins his speech in the low German tongue of the province , which

      is as near Anglo-Saxon as can be . He prays God to enlighten his judgment , dwells upon his own acknowledged respectability , and invites every one to appear and seek justice before this " laudable and justly constituted Thiny . " The parties appear , stating their case without speaking a word of high German . The three judges retire , and , after a secret deliberation ^ return to pass sentence . If dissatisfied with the judgment , everybody , is of course at liberty to appeal from this patriarchal and voluntary , to the more modern and regularly established courts of justice . Custom , however , forbids such a slight of the Tliiny ; and . custom , with the Schleswig Holstein peasant , is more powerful than law . However , there axe at present but few villages where courts of this description are held . "

      External Influences . —Every one knows people who are quite different people according as they arc in town or country . I know a man—an exceedingly clever and learned man—who in town is sharp , severe , hasty , a very little bitter , and just a fchacle ill-tempered , who on going to the country becomes instantly genial , frank , playful , kind , and jolly ; you would not know him for the same man if his face anil form changed only half as much as his intellectual and moral nature . Many men when they go to the country , just as they put off frock coats and stiff stocks and put on loose Bhooting suits , big thick shoes , a loose eoft handkerchief round their necks , — just as they pitch away the vile hard hat of city propriety that pinches ,

      cramps , and cuts the hapless head , and replace it by the light yielding wideawake—do mentally pass through a like process of relief ; their whole spiritual being is looser , freer , less tied up . Such changes as that from town to country must , I should think , bo felt by- all educated people , and make an appreciable difference in the moral condition of all educated people . Few men would feel tho same amid the purple moors round Haworth and amid the soft English scenery that you sea from Richmond-hill . Some individuals , indeed , whose mind is not merely torpid , may carry the same

      animus with them wherever they go ; but their animus must be a very bad one . Mr . Scrooge , before his change of nature , was , ' no doubt , quite independent of external circumstances , and would , no doubt , have thought Itjproof of great weakness had he not bew oo . Nor was it a being of an amiable diameter in ^ hose mouth Milton has put the words , "No matter where , H 0 I be BtiU the same I" And even In his mouth tho sentiment was rather vapouring ; than true . Hut a dull , heavy , prosaic , miserly , cantankerous , cynical , suspicious , bitter old rascul would propably be much the same everywhere ,- —Frater ' a Magazine for December *

      SPAIN . Letters from Spain assert that the expedition to Mexico will be oh . a larger scale than was supposed . Last August it was resolved to form a general depot at Corunna for the recruiting of men for Porto Rico and the Havannah , and to supply the deficiency caused by drafts of troops from the Antilles to Mexico . There are several depots established at Cadiz , Santander , and Barcelona . There ia to be , moreover , a grand depot at Porto Rico , where the troops are to remain to get accustomed to a tropical climate before they go to the Gulf of Mexico . " The policy of O'Doimell about Mexico , " says a private letter , " is to put forth all our available strength , which he thinks will make us more respected there , by enemies and friends . "

      SARDINIA . A letter from Turin of the Gth says that the King ' s Government has sent to its agents abroad a circular relative to the rumours of a war with Austria . Count de Cavour declares in it that hitherto nothing whatever has arisen of a nature to confirm such assertions . At the same time he insists on the urgent necessity which exists of effecting considerable modifications in the present government of other parts of Italy , as otherwise it would be impossible to look for tranquillity .

      IRELAND . A special meeting of the Belfast Chamber of Commerce was held yesterday , at which Mr . J . 0 . Lover was present , accompanied by Mr . Plins Miles , of New York , and Mr . Alfred 1 $ . Richards , of London . Mr . Lever made a lengthened statement of the position and pros , peots of the undertaking . lie urged on tho Chamber to use its influence with Government for tho grant of nn adequate postal subsidy to the line , A series of resolutions strongly supporting the project were unanimously carried . The Atlantic Telegraph was then considered , and a resolution passed empowering the Council of the Chamber to memorialise Government to give a guarantee for a inoderato per centago on the now capital required , irrespective of risk .

      ^ Leader , 0 fkice , Friday Night , December 10 th . FRANCE . The Patrte says that the papers relative to the Moutalembert affair have been lodged with the Registrar of the Imperial Court . The appeal will be heard on the 21 st . M . Perrot de Chezelles will be the presiding judge . The judge appointed to make a report on the ease to his colleagues is M . Achille Treillard . It is believed that M . Chaix d'Est-Ange will in person occupy the seat of the Procureur-General . There are several rumours afloat as to the course the Government will pursue , the one most credited- is that the Emperor ' s pardon will be pleaded in answer to the appeal , but nothing is said as regards the law of the 14 th of February last .

      The Commissioners appointed to report on the subject of the engagement of free negroes in the French colonies have declared in favour of the system of immigration as at present conducted . It -is stated in a report to the Minister of Marine by Captain Protet , who commands the French squadron on the coaot of Africa , that a fresh difficulty has arisen out of the question of the importation of free negroes into the French colonies , a vessel so engaged having been overhauled by the English cruisers , and forced to reland the immigrants .

      Letters from Admiral de Genouilly give it to be understood that the conquest of Cochin China will not be effected speedily . A regular siege will probably be necessary before Hue can be taken . A chef de bataillon of engineers will embark at Marseilles for Cochin China on Dec . 11 , to direct the siege operations . The Moniteur of this morning contains the balance sheet of the Bank of France , made up till Thursday last , which shows the following results as compared with the previous return : —Increased : Cash in hand , 28 millions ; Advances , 11 mi llions ; Treasury balance , 26 J millions ; Current account , 14 J millions . Decreased : Bills discounted not yet due , 3 millions ; Notes in circulation , 3 A millions .
