THE CHARTIST DEMONSTRATION. 

The Chartists have had their demonstration, London has been 
startled from its propriety. French ultra-democrats have indulged 
the enthusiastic hope that we too were to he revolutionized and re- 
publicanizeih Mr. Feargus O’Connor has shown that quality which 
was as good m valour in Sir John Faktaff, and which was still 
better than valour in him— discretion. The minor divinities of 
Chartism have imitated their leader. Three hundred thousand 
Chartists summoned to Bennington Common* have dwindled down 
to fifteen thousand. One hundred and fifty thousand special eon - 
stables* watchful for the preservation of order* have grasped their 
useless truncheons* and have paraded the streets without meeting 
a foe or breaking a sconce. The great Duke has lain in ambtwh* 
and has not shown his dragoons. The mountain has laboured: 
the mouse has been bom. The Chartist petition for the six points 
has been peaceably received. The alarm has subsided. Not even 
a baker’s cart has been pillaged* as at the previous meeting. Eng- 
and has disappointed the Republican propaganda* and offers at 
present* with the uncongenial exception of Russia, the spectacle of 
the only stable government in Europe. In all this there is very 
much to rejoice at and to be thankful for; but amid our rejoicing 
et us not forget that danger evaded* is not always overcomej and 
that in issuing unharmed from the jaws of one difficulty* there may | 
be other difficulties before us requiring still greater energy* pru¬ 
dence* and skill to surmount successfully. 

While* therefore* the country has the greatest reason to be thank¬ 
ful* that, owing to the wise precautions of those entrusted with the 
public security* and to the cordial support given to those in authority 
by the great hulk of the trading and industrial community, ns well as 
to the discretion of men from whom there was too much reason to ' 
fear indiscretion, Monday last passed over without bloodshed, or 
even serious disturbance* and with merely the loss of a days trade 


[Sixpence, 


or day’s labour* it must now consider seriously whether this de¬ 
spised CnAuTi&H have not, after all* some possible truth and some 
real vitality in-it. Wherever there is a smoke there is a fire, say 
Mr, Carlyle and the proverb which he has mode the motto of his 
book. It is time that we should investigate what social fire it is which 
produces the ugly smoke of Chartism* and sends up such dangerous 
sparks as Mr, 0 Connor and Mr. Ernest Jones as evidences that it is 
burning. Mr. G'Cottnor and his friends may commit the stupid folly 
of asserting that tbbir petition for die “ six points” was signed by 
upwards of five millions and ft half of people; and cooler and more 
impartial men* who are not Chartists* may remember that there ore 
not in Great Britain six millions of adult males in the whole popu¬ 
lation ; yet* although the Chartist leaders may have manufactured 
signatures by wholesale—though they may have infamously exagge¬ 
rated the numbers that they liave placed upon the petition—though 
all the blackguard street urchins of London, Manchester* Binning- 
liam, Liverpool* Leeds* and Glasgow may have appended their 
names to it twenty times over* we must not forget that, 
even if a hundredth or even a five hundredth part of the 
signatures ore bona fide t it is a petition which the Legis¬ 
lature of England ought to receive with seriousness. If even 
one thousand men request the House of Commons, in respectful 
language* to consider whether Universal Suffrage* Vote by Ballot, 
the Division of the Country into Electoral Districts* Annual Par¬ 
liaments* the Abolition of the Property Qualification* and the Pay¬ 
ment of Members would not conduce to the welfare of Great Bri¬ 
tain generally* and to the elevation of the condition of the labouring 
classes particularly* the Ministerial majority in the House of Com¬ 
mons should consider the subject. They may disagree from the 
petitioners. They may consider Annual Parliaments an annual 
nuisance ; they may deny the policy of according Universal Suf¬ 
frage to an uneducated people j they may prefer open to secret 


voting ; they may think it expedient to maintain the present divi¬ 
sion of counties and boroughs ; they may not coincide in opinion 
with the Chartists on any one of their six points j but* if they are 
wise* they should remember that they ore hound* as the representu* 
lives of the people—deriving their only real power from the peo¬ 
ple—to consider the questions raised with careful attention, and 
to abstain from any insolent or overbearing contempt of the 
opinions or wishes of any portion of them. The Parliamen¬ 
tary reports in the daily papers of Tuesday state that the 
Clmrtisc petition was, M amidst great laughter, ordered to be 
brought up," They further stare, that* when Mr. Lushmgton, 
the member for Westminster, gave notice that on Friday (last 
night)* the night appointed for the discussion upon the petition, 
he should ask the Prime Minister whether he could hold out 
any distinct hope that he would* during the present session* in¬ 
troduce or support any measure for the extension of the suffrage* 
the House received the mere mention of the subject with 
cheers and laughter. 

Some other circumstances which have arisen from this demon¬ 
stration are of a nature to cause much future agitation throughout 
the country, and perhaps to prove fatal to the existence of the 
present Ministry. The country may look upon the latter result 
with the most stoical Indifference* but it cannot look with indiffer¬ 
ence upon a protracted and hitter agitation of political parties. If 
the danger to be apprehendeil from a Chartist insurrection be, as 
ns we till nk it, and as the Ministry anil all their supporters assert it 
to be* very small* it is surely the worn policy* and a most unjust 
aggression upon popular rights, to take advantage of that small 
danger to introduce and bring forward measures which only a great 
danger can justify. If the Crown of this country be, as the enrol¬ 
ment of one hundred and fifty thousand or two hundred thousand 
special constables of Monday last so loudly testifies* safe from all

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS. 


[April 15 , 1848 * 


■ c nffrhn nrftnlp and secured by tnuch courtesy ftflin the House, 1 will say nothing further at present* hut to 

hostile ajp^ncssion from my portion of the people, f® .j£ move that the pcttii™ be read at the tnbfo 


the steady affection of the mid die, upper, and m*ny of Ow working 
dieses, why attempt to make it more secure by mterternig m 1 
the liberty of speccn ? To nnvke the law of Ireland the smne as 


the ILw of Eiielmul! in discs of treason ami sedition. Is right and that he wouldnot wll 

jVur ; but under 22s pretext to diminish the lil-mv of Modi hi- - - p - — ■-" ^ 

therto enioved in England, is wrong and most \mfm\ It is one of 
the unhappy fntnlitk-s attendant upon the conduct of violent men, 
that they justify the aggression* of their opponents j md that in 
attempting too much liberty they arm Governments with sudicient 
audacity to diminish tha liberty which already exist* Tor his 
evil the Chartists arc now responsible* Iha right of public 
meeting and the right of dec speech arc justly dear U, 
the people of this country ? and though the Duke ! of u- 
Umctbtt, Lord Brougham, Colonel Sibthorp, and Su; Bohert 
InSis may be giaii of an opportunity to suppress tree discussion, 
it h disheartenmg to sec such men as John po^sell mid the 
Whig leaders carried away by their fears ot the Chartiste to 
such an extent ns to lend a willing lmml to the aestnictiou 
of the principles which are identified with them names* II 
there arc special constables enough to coerce and quench Chartism, 
what need is there of further coercion? If the old law be sufficient, 
why a new law? What need, too, have we of an Alien Act? The 
introduction of Sir George Grev'a hill for the better security of the 
Crown—which needs no such secur ty—bad enough s hut to 
tnfco the additional lesson of an Men Act from the evil days of 
the dose of the last century, is a surplusage of error winch might 
prove fatal to a much stronger Administration than that of Lord 
John Russell. There may be wh^kered and bearded Ireuohmeu 
in our streets in more than their usual numbers;, but our constables 
being so strong, our physical force Chartists so weak, and ihe 
game ofviolem revolution being “ up” in London, the bearded and 
whiskered Gauls will disappear of themselves. There is no need 
of a tyrannical Act of rarlioment, tmenngenmi to the popular feel- 
ii \tr of this country, to deport them* There is some excuse ft* the 
errors of the people, because they spring from ignorance and from 
undoubted suffering; but there is no excuse for the errors ot the 
Ministers, who* because a portion of the people insist upon mord 
liberty, indict upon the whole people a systep which gives us less* 

At all events, whether Whigs ot Conservatives, they should have 
us us we were. Our present Ministers have decided upon not 
doinz so; and; whatever mav be the demerits of Chartism, tt seems 
clear”to us that the Ministry has entered upon a very dangerous

port to the House upon the subject of the National Petition, presented <m the 
loth of April by the lifm* member for Nottingham* signed by su^ret* of tire 
Brit Mi Grown* The Comm ft tee attached the utmost value to the right 
of petitioning, and tn tire exercise of that most important privilege by 
the subject s of this realm* and felt deeply the neeossHy of preserving th - duo 
exercise of such privileges from abuse, and having also a due regard to the im¬ 
portance of n petition tfo very nunrerowdy signed} bod made that petition tlio 
subject of their present report. They felt bound, In the discharge of their

tliirimm* tffKm presenting The pci It ton, had stftt&i that the petition was signed by

who acted under the superintendence of tlie various clerk* of die Com¬

opinion of the Committee, exceed l t 97 &, 4 !KL (Hear*) It Is further found, that n

thoro wore the name of lies Majesty, signed Victoria Rex* the Duke of

Upon the motion Thot the report do Uc upon the table, a somewhat angry and 
personal discussion arose, in which Mr. Caters was very Severn in bis censure 
of the conduct of Mr. O'Connor, in alleging that upward* of five inlllloos of

THE CHARTIST DEMONSTRATION, 

Tnk long-expected 44 monster meeting" of the Chartists on Kfinnlngton Com- 
iuou, and their procession with a petition to the Legislature In favour of '‘.he 
people's Charter," took phiee on Monday last. Notwithstanding the i neness of 
the morning, during which u hot and brilliant etui shone forth, the demonstra¬ 
tion was in every respect a failure, w hen measured by the standard of the vaun¬ 
ting* and grandiloquent sayings of the delegates at the Convention during the 
preceding week. As the speeches of time gentlemeu had led the public to an¬ 
tic Ip ite mnu strtntis dtaartuiua nt the peace of the metropolis, the Government 
and the civil author! [ to* had mode extensive arid wtfJLmvangetl preparations to 
suppress effectually any violation of order or tranquillity, should siuli be at¬ 
tempted. However* the In crfuionco of the authorities was not called for; the 
brave Chartists, notwithstanding all their bhtiUerlng about physical three, hav¬ 
ing (jiven most aatlafaetory fitool of their belie t In the propriety of Urn scniL 
ment, that M discretion U the better part of valour." The nature of the day's 
proceedings, of which we famialutorau* graphic J Lustre tkuiB, was, it will be 
seen* very ordinary and common-place* 

Tiie delegates awnitM at nine o'clock In the morning at their usual place 
of meeting, the Literary and Sctomlfk Institution, John-strect, Fitzroy-squarc 
A largo number of persons had gathered round the entrance to the instiunkm. 
and considerable excitement was miinifestod in the uelghlKmrhood* Mafcy of 
the urembera and their partiwna wore rosette* of red* gi can* and vrhito-rher 
coioura of the Con volition, air, K. G Connor not having arrived ut nine o’clock, 
Mr, Reynolds was called to the chair, 

Mr, Doyle* tlio neerelary, sail, that a communication had been received from 
Scotland-yavd. stating that the Commisafencrs of police were Instructed to 
Inform Mr, M f Grath. tliat the p£dthm would bo nlluwed to be taken to the Koiue 
of Commons i but that no proccssiun would bo allowed to take place* or he pci 
niittcd to proceed through tlic streets of the inetropolfe: lie observed that lie 
considered that to be u strungo way of munigiug niattei-a In the nbreteuuth 
century. 

Mr* West then addressed the assembly* enjoining thorn to proceed with the 
proccsilon at any risk* Techniedly, Govcmmont would nut allow it to take 
place, tun, praciJcallyn they would be corn pel led to do «o* They would earr) 
tbelr petition dow n to the R(him of Commons*, aud if the procesrfon Ibfiowed 
them to Kennlngtou-comirton they would hold their meeting there. They would 
th&u give instructions to the people not to come in collision with lire auEliuritle^, 
or give an opportunity to the Gavcrureent to have a bloody slaughter among 
them—for ho knew that they only wanted the amall&u exeunt for doing bo. 
They (the Chanists) were for peace; but if live ■ overmnent were for blood, be 
ulri die cup ahnuld bo Oiled for them brimming full, and they should be allowed 
to drain it to the laat dreg*. 

ilr, O'Connor (who had untercsl during the latter port inn of Mr. West's obser¬ 
vations, and taken his place in, the chair, from which Mr. Reynolds retired) Bald 
that that being the last morning the Con vent loll would sU before the presenta¬ 
tion of The petition, ho would make a few observations to them. He would 
aviuro them that he h id noth big that ho had ever said or done to them to retract. 
If* indeed, he was to withdraw anything, he would be umoet unfit and improper 
person for a movement of the kind. Therefore he cautioned them now, as lie 
had cautioned them before, that tbclr position waa one of opposition to the Go¬ 
vernment ; and he said now* as he liad said before, that if It was not for curtain 
persona out of the Convention, England, would never see such a day as the one 
before them for popular demnnstration, He amiounct d tn them that they had 
ft*fl00,000 signature* tn the national petition. He thought it quite natural that 
the Government should, under the circa instance j> place themselves in a position 
of defence, and ho thought that they (the Convention) would do the -mine If the) 
were ill the aamo place. Neverthelt-’tf, ho would go to the meeting to preserve 
the lives of tUr^c who were jenpanlbeiJ, and that the cause which was w. near 
and dear to hfe heart might not Iks Injured. Indeed* lie could not ubROtn 
himself without: doing u gross injustice to ihore jKjraeiii, who Inc] con¬ 
fided to him u quarter uf a million of money, and the rcspomdbiJfti. 
of carrying m their cause; and If he did no act, ih& whole of hla life 
would be stamped aa one long course of duplicity and deception. Hut he 
avowed to them That ho had thought over the matter during the last week* and 
had >pont tlio previous night also anxiously and though tfuljy, lie Itnd conic to the 
determination That he would go lo the meeting* and toko the responsibility on 
hire self, in the event of any physical force on the part of the Government, to 
persuade the people not to bring themselves into collision with tho authorities, 
for whom the aioaUest excuse for an nttaok would be AiifHcient, If, therefore* the 
procession wns forbidden, lie would ink them to abstain from any domQTtttratiori 
of the kind until he could go down to the Honre of Ckmunofu, tntd remonstrate 
upon auch a step being Token, Ho put the quest Lou to them, whether they 
would, by persevering in the precession, do, perhaps, Incalculable Injury to their 
cause, or, by a wise moderation* strengthen and support it? It was Enipfl:*Lb!o 
that they could get their Cliartor that day ; but there w r as no doubt that the 
Governmunt could nut rafn»g It, If they oiily took the proper stops to Obtain IE. 
He raid, &uppo>ing that slmuHaneous meetings and demondration.s in every pan 
of the country should take place, ami supposing that he obstructed the bushier ol 
the House of Common a every day, by ask teg quustlouH reljitive to thu jieople u Char¬

weak, and If the [tecplc per.*Luted In the course It wus proposed to hike* they would

which he had rendered to the cum e during funner ugUatlons at Manchester and

Mr. Ernest Jones next nddre^ed the meeting. Though he wna what was

engtLgc in a collision fur which they were wholly Unprepared* [te regretted 
that till* mealing had not been held on the other aldti of the river Thame*, ha lit 
that ease the bridge* would not have to have been passed. A* It vrw they bail 
achieved a victory ; for they now held a meeting wldeh had been forbidden and 
praultihned down. Under ihese ctraumatancc.s he trusted those present would 
follow the admirable advice given to-dny by tlirir friend and leader; and |f tu> 
eventual success waa corraln. 

Mr, F, O Connor again came forward* and Asked the meeting to give him 
authority now to w r ait upon Sir George Grey, and to foil the right turn, baronet 
That tho people were determined not to come Into col I Won with any arm eh 
force, police or military ; and that they were resolved to keep the peace invio¬ 
late that day. The meeting at once reapnnded to this deni and. and Mr. F. 

0 Connor quitted the van and proceeded on Ids mission, cheered on by vehe¬ 
ment plaudit*. 

From the moment Mr. O'Connor took hfe departure impatience and uproar be¬ 
gan to manifest themselves in tha meeting* first, the moh, which could not 
hear, showed signs of di.^Ltbfkrtion, and then the delegates lu tho van displayed 
symptoms of unruilneas also. The tendency In the crowd showed ItKelf by vio¬

Mr. Clark then moved the adopt ion of the following petition to the House of

staves. Showers of large atones were every few minutes thrown on the bridge* and 
the police received many severe blow*, hut gave more than equivalent In return 
with their baton a. A great number of men who were seized by the police for throw¬ 
ing stone* were rescued, and the yells and shouts were deafening. At half-past 
three o'clock tho pressure of the concourse was so great that the line of police 
was lorcrit, and h great many of them carried with the throng over the bridge, 
holding their stares up as they were borne along. On the City side of the bridge 
a great many arrests were made, and the mob* which seemed Inclined for a mi¬ 
nute to make a stand, were uniformly repulsed by the horw patrol, the sight of 
whose drawn sabre*, wielded over the head 3 of tho mob, soon put the mom 
noisy and Impudent to Right. Both on that and the other side of the bridge 
there were numbers of men with their beads bleeding, who were led away by 
their friends,

At an early hour in the day crowds of persons had assembled in ita neigh¬ 
bourhood, and in that of the House of Commons, to await the arrival of tho 
procession* which wan expected to cross the bridge from Kenning ton-common. 
Up to twelve or one o’clock very little preparation appeared to have been made 
for their reception. Rut ns the day wore on and the crowd became more dense* 
the police might be observed walking about In large bodies, and compelling the 
people to 11 move on^—a command which was obeyed sometimes with an ill 
grace* but in no case with any manifestations which resulted in a breach of the 
peace. This bridge* It was supposed, would bo the scene of any collision which 
might take place. Tho report, however* which had been set afloat respecting 
artillery, &c., appeared to he totally unfounded* for there was no appearance of 


anything Of the kind. Bills worn posted on the bridge* warning the public 
not to assemble there In large numbers, as it was apprehended that the wooden 
hoarding which supplies the place of the former stone balustrade would giro 
way on a pressure of a nature by no means Inconsiderable. The public* 
however, which always considers itself the best Judge of matters con* 
netted with its own safety* treated the warning with a degree o 
contempt, which was manifested by the Increased denriiy of the crowd upon 
tho prohibited spot. Shortly before two o'clock the police began emerge 
from Lie It hitherto Inglorious state of Inactivity* A troop of the h> patrol 
proceeded on to the bridge, and set about tho somewhat arduous task 4 Taring

succeeded in driving the mass inch by Inch, nnd step by step, completely to the 
other end* At the corner of Bridge-street there w ere several additional bodies 
of the force to receive them, so that the majority Imd no resource but to escape 
up Parliament-street, the road to the House being efficiently guarded. A con¬ 
siderable number, however* still continued to occupy Bridge-street. They con¬ 
sisted principally of idlers and bad characters, having no political object hi 
view, and bring employed for the most part in the Indulgence of various DtUo 
popular pleasantries at the expense of the police and the special constables, the 
latter being especially victimised In this manner. Thus the time passed away,

Mr. CoMwtt \ and was returned for Nottingham at

A rtmm£ of lib political life was given ao early as the 22nd No, of our Journal. 

THE ROCK OP CASHEL. 

The town cf Cashel distant fourteen miles ft-om Clonmel, county Tipperary, b 
chiefly bnllt ronnd the southern and eastern side of an Insulated mass of Ikne- 
Alone, called “ the Rock of Cashel." The most majestic portion of this olden 
monument of Erin slipped or frU, a short time aineo, This event has created 
some excitement amongst the Country people, especially as an alleged prophecy 
of St. Coin ink Ella is in tho mouths of the peasantry—that “ the Rock of Cashel 
would toll in tho same year In which a revolution would break out In England '* 
Leaving this fulfilment out of the question, the Rock Is a very Interesting spot! 

On Oils great natural platform, which rises abruptly in the midst of a rich 
plain, and commands an extensive view, formerly stood the residence of the petty 
Kings of Munster. Sir .Tames W are, who lived so lately as ISGG, informs us that 
be uas here seen the stone on which those potentates were Inaugurated, and 
where, It is said, they received the tribute of their subordinate toparchs. Krom 
the Utter Circumstance tho name of tho place has been derived, caiA-wf being 
Interpreted by same 11 The stone of tribute j” fent nj^hiol seems to be an original 
Jkltfe werd, the same iu all respects with the Latinized taMtfum; and the pro¬ 
bability te, that the place was so called from the castle or dun of the chieftain on 
its summit. A roll or schedule of the tribute payable here Is still preserved; and 
tU ? enumeration of the different articles of use mid luxury which formed the redo 
substitute for rent is sufficiently curious—arms, clothing, provisions, live stock, 
and slaves, both male and female, being the dues ordinarily ape rifled. 

The summit of the reck, aa our Illustration shows, Is crowned with a pile of 
picturesque buddings, which, from its commanding rituatton, masnire nmnor- 
tlons. and ainguhir variety of outline, fr Justly considered the flnestof the kind 
in Ireland. The structure* of which it Is composed arc, in the wortls of a corner 
pondont, resident In the county—1st. An Ecclesiastical Round Tower, in good 
preservation, 2 d. Carmack's Chapel, a small stone-roofed church with two ride 1 
towers, in the Norman stylo of the eleventh and twelfth centuries. 3rd. A Ca¬ 


thedral. with nave, choir, and transepts In the pointed style of the thirteenth 
and fourteenth centuries. 4 th. A strong caetle, which served as the Palace of 
the Archbishops of Cashel, Gth. The Ylear'a hall and the mansions of the tn- 
ferier Ecclesiastical officers of the Cathedral, Cormac M'Carthy, King of 
Munster, is supposed to have built Cormac's Chapel early in tile twelfth century i 
and later in tho same century, the cathedral, 210 feet in length, and 17 & 
In breadth, was erected by Donald O'Brien* King of Limerick, In the middle of 
the iHat century, the chancel, which was then used for divine service, wan un- 
roofed and dismantled, and a new cathedral built In the city of Cashel by Arch* 
bishop Agar, It was remarked by Sir Walter Scott, that, as a whole, there 
was nothing to he found in the British empire comparable in Interest with the 
’?oek of Cashel, 

Cormac's Chapel, by the way. Is by far the most pcTfccr specimen of this de¬ 
scription of building in these Islands; and it gives a convincing proof not 
only of the existence, but of the excellence of some works in stone and lime, 
exclusive of round towers, in Ireland before the coming of the English. 

A Bbjlyi; Old Oai.—Mjv Robert Wray, of Gar grave, near Sklpton, has lately 
purchased the King Oak Tree of Sawley domain, from the steward of Earl 
da Grey. Some year* ago XbO was offered for the bark of the tree. Tho moa- 
surement of tha trunk Is 1 C feet long, and 14 feetG Inches tn girth, and is very 
straight and round. The limbs are In proportion, but they contain more timber 
in them than the trunk; some of them will girth 8 or 10 feet, not re straight 
The top will be at least ISO feet across, itnd it la probable lias stood the blasts of

to repress the liberty of speech which Englishmen have enjoyed in 
seA^ni of real peril. To hold a rod over the Chartists and Irish 
Repealers Lord John Russell and his fellow Ministers have no 
need to hold a rod over the whole people, whoso loyalty and 
attachment are undoubted, and hove been rendered doubly 
and trebly manifest by the events of Monday, So unwise ia the 
policy of taking advantage of an unnecessary and fast-fading, or* 
indeed, any kind of panic, to strike a blow at opinion, that Ministers 
i hem selves have been half diverted from their purpose by the ur¬ 
gent remonstrances of n small but determined party in Parliament, 
His Lordship* instead of asking for u permanent bill, as originally 
1 proposed, to render spoken words liable to the same penalties 
os printed ones, has consented to ask for only two years conti¬ 
nuance of such a measure* The concession is sufficient to show 
that the Minister h himself aware of the unconati tut locality of his 
proposal, and to encourage the Opposition in further efforts to de¬ 
feat it entirely* These are not the times to renew such tyrannies 
as those which Lord John Russell himself condemns in the case of 
Mr, Mnir—who was transported to Australia merely tor saying 
tliat u Reform was needful, 1 ’ and for recommending another per¬ 
son to read the ** Rights of Man,” Indeed, it is trident from the 
spirit manifested in the House* and out of it, that if the measure, 
oven as modified, became law, it will seal the fate of this Ministry, 
and be repealed by the next, t 

The discussion upon Mr, John 0 T Connclfs motion for a repeal 
of the Legislative union betwixt Great Britain and Ireland, and 
upon the presentation of the Chartist petition, will also aid in ren¬ 
dering this week a remarkable one in our Parliamentary history. 
Mr, O'Connell, in introducing the motion, made a temperate and 
able 8]*eecli, which shines brilliantly in contrast with the coarse 
brutality of Air, Meagher of the swords, and the ferocious lunacy 
of Mr. Mitchell of the pikes, and the other rabid chiefs of the 
Irish war party* It was well received in Purl lament! but the de¬ 
bate that ensuixl, though important, was dud and languid. En¬ 
glishmen, in their impatience at Irish ingratitude, sometimes express 
the wish that Ireland had the Repeal which her agitators seek- 
They draw to themselves n vivid picture of ibe miseries that would 
beJnil Irishmen of every class were they left to self-govern merit, 
and the certain anarchy that would speedily follow it \ and predict 
as the certain consequence, that having left Ireland to itacit for a 
while, England would bo solicited by the Irish to re-enact a Union 
ns t!ie greatest boon, the only real justice that Ireland expected at 
our bands* 

Bat the benefits of such a lesson would be too dearly bought at 
such a price as would have to be paid for it bv the Irish them* 
selves; mid Great Britain, in mercy to Ireland, arid in real justice 
to ell, mast preserve the integrity of the British I sics, If the Irish 
are led astray by such ravings ns those of Air. Mitchell and Mr. 
Meagher, it is their own fault, and on them die suffering will fall. 
If they will not learn* before rebellion, the notorious fact that Irish 
men Jmve every privilege which Englishmen have, except the un¬ 
happy privilege oJ being taxed, and that all classes of people in 
this country desire to sec Ireland peaceful, industrious, free, and 
happy, they must necessarily pay the penalty of their ignorance* 
But not even rebellion—certain to be suppressed—will nmke the 
thinking people of this country the foes of Ireland* There is no 
permanent safety for us, hut in the happiness of Ireland ; and, 
although it is hard to say how a people ere to be made happy, who 
return evil Ibr good—eight million curses for right million pounds 
sterling ; who rcjiay our benefits with ingratitude— onr anxieties 
with scorn and contempt—our fruitless good wishes with their too 
fruitful hatred ; and who, ovur and above all this, w ill not learn, 
that those who refuse to work cannot always expect to be fed, we 
must, nevertheless pursue the remedy. A portion of this remedy 
is to refuse Repeal* and it is a portion which the British people and 
Government, at the immediate sacrifice of their own comfort, will 
most zealously and pertinaciously insist upon.

We are glad to eee that the French Frovitional Government is 
lending what aid it can to show the working classes the un- 
gemronanesa, the injustice, tlie gross tyranny of their conduct in 
expelling foreign workmen from France* A deputation having 
waited on the Bid visional Government on Monday, to beg that a 
general appeal should be made to employers throughout France, 
not to employ foreigners* that all foreigners employed under 
Government should be dismissed, and that the applicants 
should be empowered to form a society having for its object 
tho universal expulsion of foreigners from France, M* Ann and 
) M arrest, the Mayor of Fans, remonstrated with ami rebuked 
them m the most energetic terms* He informed them that 
the Government could not interfere in private affairs, and that every 
citizen in a free republic must bo nt liberty to employ whomsoever 
ho pleased* irrespective altogether of enstu or country. He more¬ 
over tdd them that ho blushed, both for the members of tho lepu-

VIGE-CELtNCELLOR'S COURT. 

Smith t, York, Newcastle, A!ti> BEUwiqg Railwav.^Oti Tuesday, Mt. 
Bctbell applied for two injunctions, under these careutustaticea:—The plain iff, 
who appeared for the trustees of the turnpikes of Berwick township, complained 
that tbe railway company Bad Improperly amstnictafl a road torhMr reRwav.for 
the purpose of conveying goods and passengers, thereby depriving them of I ho 
tell which they {the trustees) would otherwise receive* and two injunctions 
were therefore applied for- one to rctfiitin the company from running omni¬ 
buses or other vehicles upon the read In question, and the ^enud W(t , further to 
restrain them from giving the public the use of Lire sold road.—Mr, ltok up. 
posed tho application, t n the ground that the mad wits made by the compativ 
upon their own property, over which the trustees could exercise no emfiniul j 
and na to the aecond point* the company disclaimed any intention of giving tho 
public the privilege of making any use of tho read^The Vles-Chapcellor 
thought* os regarded the first point, the better way would be to send an issue to 
be tried at law ; and aa to the second Injunction applied fur, ho was of opinion 
after the (Rselalimer giveti on the part of tho defendants, that an undertaking to 
feoop the mod closed to tba public would answer the desired purpose*

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS. 


[April 15 , 1848 , 



We this week resume our illustrated 
notice of thia Exhibition with En¬ 
gravings of two of ila moat attrac¬ 
tive pictures 

THE LIGHT O T THE CRtk$$, 
PAINTED BY SANT. 

The devotional fervour of the 
figure gazing upon the Cross is not 
the least succeamil portion of this 
picture- The lights are very cleverly 
managed; tuitl, m a composition il¬ 
lustrating the intensity of adora¬ 
tion, the work is entitled to special 
Commendation* 

THE CAPTIVE, FAINTED BY 
FISHER. 

We have already described (at 
page 104) the incident of this grace* 
nil picture, as well m its highly ar- 
tlstical merit 

We are reminded by it of what 
Lord Jeffrey has said of Byron, that 
fL he has made a fine use of the gen- 
tl 'iiffis and submission of the Eastern 
fa males, as contrasted with the 
lordly pride and martial ferocity of 
the men; and though we suspect 
ho has lent them more &td than of 
right belongs to them, as well as 
more delicacy and reflection, yet 
there is something so true to female 
niture in general in his represents* 
t qua of this sort, and so much of the 
Oriental softness and acquiescence 
hi his particular delineations, that it 
u Bcan-ely possible to refuse the pic¬ 
ture the praise of being character ■ 
isticond harmonious, as well os emi¬ 
nently sweet and beautiful In itself” 


EXHIBITION 
AT THE SOCIETY OF 
BRITISH ARTISTS. 

Whex we promised a further notice 
of the present Exhibition in Suffolk- 
street, we made the promise in the 
full and earnest hope that a second 
ririt would enable ua to detect in a 
collection of eight hundred works of 
art a dosian or two of additonul pic¬ 
tures not already referred to in our 
form er notice. In this we have been 
mistaken. The Exhibition is so 
uniformly bad, that when we had 
nothing 'more to say than “ This ia 
very poor;” or, w Thie is destitute of 
character and colouror , u Here is a 
portrait No. B3S of T, Edwards, Esq., 
by H. Hawkins, M.S.B.A, that 
really is nothing more than a capi¬ 
tal performance in the Tottenham 
Court tea-tray style of art; or, “Here 
is a landscape without distance, with 
a dull heavy foreground, and trees 
that look like gooseberry bushes at 
the bests” the repetition would be¬ 
come SO wearisome, that our readers 
would turn to another part of onr 
psper before the column was half 
concluded, land we should have 
wasted our space, so particularly 
valuable at this moment, Surely 
the members of this now incorpo¬ 
rated Society should lessen the nmn- 


I O N. 

her of pictures another year, and 
instead of displaying everything 
sent in, should exercise a sound dis¬ 
cretion in separating the chaff 
from the com “the really bad 
from the really good. Let m 
conceive for a single moment that a 
society was formed of literary men 
for tho purpose of printing and circu¬ 
lating the contributions of the mem¬ 
ber* themselves, and of every would- 
be poet, tale-teller, or essayist who 
chose to send his productions to the 
society. And it is easy to see what 
a collect Lon of rubbish would bg 
brought together in this way. Or 
let us suppose that tho editor of a 
magazine was silly enough to print 
tho whole of the commuiUcatioiia ho 
receives, and we may readily ima¬ 
gine what a monster volume he 
would produce of tho moat impo¬ 
tent attempts at writing well. It is 
just the same in art. Why should 
every picture or attempt at a 
picture be intruded on the pub¬ 
lic eye, or form a part of a 
public exhibition of a Society 
incorporated by Royal Charter for 
the advancement of "art and artist*? 
It is perfectly true that young men 
perceive their defects more readily 
when thrir works are hung on tho 
some wall with the productions of 
their superiors in the some line of 
art, ana that thus far their exhi¬ 
bition ia good; but the rule of selec¬ 
tion and exclusion is stilt, we think, 
a wise one, whether we consider tho 
welfare of the Society, or the grati¬ 
fication and growing taste of tho 
public for what ia redly good. 

Masmtkg the Navt.—T he following 
Is On extract from a copy of the report 
of a Committee appointed by the Admi¬ 
ralty to Inquire into the supply of sta¬ 
men to the British navy from the mer¬ 
chant service, which report has been 
presented to tho House of Commons;— 
4t We have taken the entries of the last 
eight years, from 1639 to March 1847, 
extracted from the muster-booto of her 
Majesty's ships In coiu mission, and And, 
that, of 68,559 men entered, nhout one- 
thind of that total, 22,548, were wldto 
be merchant seamen, and filled the 
ratings of working petty officers, able 
and ordinary; that B94G were first en¬ 
tries into the service, of landsmen, arti¬ 
ficers of various descriptions, and per¬ 
sons In the capacity of cooks, stewards, 
and other servants* and that 37,076, potty, 
aide* and ordinary, had previously served 
in the navy. In tire course of our re¬ 
searches wo found the desert km a from 
tire sendee of merchant seamen and 
persons from the shore bad been In the 
proportion of 26 par coat- upon the 
total of the entries for the above period 
of eight years* and but 16 per cent, 
upon ilic tolol number of seamen who 
had previously served in the navy for 
the same time. The average number 
of men borne for tilt lost eight years is 
29,903. In conclusion* we beg to remark 
that, of the seaman entered darings 
period of eight years (landsmen, arti¬ 
ficers, &c,, deducted)* nearly two-fifths 
appear to be from the merchant service, 
and nearly , three-fifths seamen who hod 
previously served In tho navy,*

General Pecchi. The troops, during the night, seized upon tho Government 
and the mti nk-ipallty. On Hun day „ the 19th , the firing was resumed on both 
sides with a great degree of fury. The Austrian cannon swept several streets:

bombardment. 

“During this time, the people, under the guidance of some old officers, fought 
everywhere with fury. On every point taken from tho troops barricades were 
raised, of which sumo were formed of rich furniture, of wardrobes, pianos,

THE TJSUBHKJnoy AT MILAN.—SCENE NEAR THE CHUHCH OF THE OBAZIA.—DRAWN BY W, RARKOT. 


THE INSURRECTION AT MILAN. 

Thx leading events of the Revolutionary proceedings at Milan have already been 
detailed in our Journal of April L The scene illustrated in our Engraving la 
from the Intelligence of tho 22nd alt, when the people advanced close to the 
Torta Toss, and their riflemen, profiling by an aqueduct, from which the water 
had been turned off, cleared the temporary bastions raised by tho enemy, and 
at the very opposite side uf the town advanced on the Porta Yercellbia, ns far 
as the Church of the Grazia. 

The thick of the conflict is thus given in the recital of the events up to the 
23rd, the flay of deliverance 


the courage of the troops appeared to weaken. On several points important 
posts were taken almost without fighting. The people neat took posweaslon of 
the palace of tho Viceroy, and of the Cathedral, on the top of which floated the 
tri-coloured flag. The offices of the Director-General of police also fell Into the 
hands of the people, who pillaged them from top to bottom. Tho only place 
which remained In the possession of the troop* wua the hotel of the military 
Commondant-Genonrl, before which all the efforts of the people toiled, in face 
of a terrible cannonade; but In the course of tho night that hotel was evacu¬ 
ated, and the troops remained masters of only the gates of the city, 

" On the 23d the combat recommenced with vigour at the Toaa and Roman* 
gates. The cannon did not cease to thunder on that side and on the aide of 
tho citadel. But In a short time tho Toss gate and the gate of Como were taken 
by tho aimed peasants, who had Just arrived from Lecco. At three o’clock la

THE REVOLUTION IN LOMBARDY, 

As so^n as the great move-items in Lombardy became known in Romo, 
they produced a deep sensation in that capital, Youn" men enlisted 
with the utmost alacrity to march to the Frontiers ns volunteers. On 
the 23rd ulL all assembled at the Coliseum, where Father Gavarci, 
Colonel Ferrari, and other persons delivered patriotic speeches, On the 
24 th the first enrolment was closed; and in the morning* before day¬ 
break, the first of the volunteers took their departure from Home, Our 
Artist's Sketch shows them just crossing the Ponte Mate, about two 
miles from the city,on the road to Bologna. 

“ The most ardent spirit of patriotism,” says the Gazette di Hornet, 
“imihi ited the troops, which* notwithstanding the early hour itt which 
they deportotl* were sal uted by the viva* and the prayers of a large con¬ 
course o r people,” 

Oar Correspondent notes: ‘MVhen the news of the Revolution in 
Lombardy reached Rome, troops were sent off to the frontier; there also 
went a large number of the Civic Guard; and next, tlm Volunteers. Of 
course, the Government could not send them to assist the Lombards 
Without declaring war against Austria : the troops are, therefore, desig¬ 
nated an army of ( bseivation, for the frontier of the i'apal States ; 
but the men themselves regard it as direct aaslsfwncc of their brothers, 
the Milanese, Venetians, d(v. The Government have furnished ihcm 
with anus, and in tact provided tor them altogether. Several English¬ 
men have joined this volunteer band. The men ore mostly «u odd¬ 
looking set: each bm a musket, ammunition, &c*; a great coat, sho-fi, 
and knapsack; a loaf, mid three bajocchi per day. Some wem ordinary 
dotb.es, but most of them wear u great coat—coarse, ill-mn.it c, and of 
pepjjer-anrf-salt cokiur; and thev me in nppenramee lietween cunvic s 
aud poor-law-union inmates. There are* however, some tine’looking 
fellows amongst them, ami tho officers are regnlaia. 

The locality, wiLh the stirring incident, make* an iiitcmtlng picture. 
In the foreground are shown portions of a lower and arch built on the 
end of the bridge; and, a tew yards in advance, are two statues, one on 
each aide of the road; they tepresent the Saviour and St, John the Bnp- 
tiai, the latter with a bowl in his band. A little of the river is seen be¬ 
hind the statue; and in the distance la Home, with St. Peter a 

The outfits denote a “ragged regiment:” the drummers are very 
shabby* not dressed uniformly, th<j:r diitlies Ifoing taken apparently 
from different regiments, The favourite head-dress seems to be a fort 
of artist s hat* turned up on one side,, with a cockade and feather* there 
were, however, several ordinary hats and caps worn. There are several 
Israelites among them. 

In short, the Ministerial proclamations clearly denote the desire of 
Pope Pius IX to prove himself ihe head of the churdh “ milium.” in a 
verv literal sense. All t o military officers und sitimItems have been 
called upon to present tbemrtdvesg at the War-office* in order to be placed 
in the battalions that are being dispatched to Lhe frontiers, hi addition 
to this is the enrolment of volunteers.

ELECTION Of THE OmClBS OF THE NATIONAL GUARD AT PARES,—COUNTING THE VOTES* 


ELECTION OF THE OFFICERS OF THE NATIONAL 
GUARD. 

Tile Xfluri ration which our Paris Artist has sketched shows the interior of the 
Hiding School [l/antye Ltbim ic), in the Faubourg Montmartre, during the clcc- 
ttm of the Officer* of the 13th Legion (Cavalry), Thu precise staple is the *&!- 
pouifammt du tcrutin (counting the votes). Fhqre is not a single person in nnl- 
om, hut nil are in plain dress. Around a table are seated the secretaries* en¬ 
tering the votes i two other* are drawing the tickets from a box, and calling 
alond the names insert bed on them ; whilst one of the candidates, mounted on a 
chair, is addressing tlm assembly'. Others ore Muted on tables, chairs, Jtc,; 
other* are talking, smoking cigars, Ac. Such la the general picture of the Elec¬

Tho detail* of the Election have been given at page 240. 


THE ABLE LACORDAIRE. 

Among the many eminent mm whom the ecclesiastical body In France hu 
from time to time produced, few have equalled, and none excelled, tho subject 
of this notice, in brilliancy Of genius and fervid and flowing eloquence* He has 
shown himself wll worthy to take rank in that distinguished boat which reckons 
amongst its member* Dossuct, Bounin Ernie, Massillon, and tho famous Jan- 
senbrts Pascal. DcBacy* the two AfUaultls, &c. Like several other greet eo 
de-siios tieid a raters, M* Lacordnlre was educated for Hie liar, which nt at, early 
age he abandoned for the Church. He was bom on the 12th of May, 1802. at

ST, MATTHEW'S CHURCH, CITY ROAD* 

Thu urch, consecrated on Tuesday last, is of very effective and | in particular, deserving great 


pleasing architectural character, iU lofty and beautiful tower and spire. 


THH NEW cnirft c or ax. matxbsw, city roaDj consecrated on Tuesday, 


irrnicndatioD* The Church stands in 
Berkelej -crtoceiit, of recent erec¬ 
tion, on the north side of the City- 
road, and Ig consequently built 
parallel with the road* It is di¬ 
vided into a nave, aisles, and chan¬ 
cel* and at the eastern end of the 
southern nislo the tower and spire 
rear their lofty forma The nave is 
lighted by windows in the dares- 
tojy, each of single light, and tho 
windows to the aisles are of two 

them* Near the western end of 
the south aisle, a porch, with high 
pitched roof, projects from the main 
body of the building and relieves the 
sameness of outline in this part of 
the Church, its recessed doorway 
giving additional character to the 
whole. The eastern end has five 
lancet windows in it, diminishing in 
height with the gable, which hits a 
cross on its apex \ a similar cross is 
also at the western gable* 

The tower* on which more orna¬ 
ment has been bestowed than on 
the other portions of the building, 
is, as mentioned before, very strik¬ 
ing, Jt is divided by string-courses 
into four stories of unequal heights, 
and has buttresses at its respective 
angles* Jn the lower story are

IRISH AGITATION AND IRISH MISERY, 

As usual, the affairs of Ireland continue to trouble and perplex the 
people of this country, Mr* O'Brien and Mr. Meagher have 
slipped through the meshes of the kw. Jurors are obstinate* Oue 
repealer in a jury of twelve has only to refuse a verdict in spite of 
the evidence, and conviction for political offences becomes impose 
sible* Mr. Mitchell will, perhaps, he less fortunate than his com¬ 
peers; but whatever may bo his fate, there seems every likelihood 
that the agitation will be continued as before. New leaders will 
arise to take the place of those who are superseded by accident or 
by the law; and Ireland will offer the old and familiar spectacle of 
a miserable and a discontented country. England will be looked 
upon as her enemy; and social miseries; of which every person in 
this country deplores the existence, will be allowed to remain tm- 
remodied, as if they were the indigenous and necessary growth of 
the soil So much has been said and written about Ireland—so 
many and so conflicting have boon the statements put forth, that 
the people of this country begin to loathe the very name of Irish 
misery* They would relieve it if they knew how; but the task 
seems to be too great for their’accomplishment or for their com¬ 
prehension, They*sometimes believe the Irish peasant to he Inu- 
teachable* They always know him to be wretched At one time 
they blame his Celtic blood, and at another [they are iuclmedHfto 
blame his religion, for the evils which afflict him; while ever {and 
anon, the idea comes uppermost, that the Irish question, vast and 
complicated as it is, may be summed up in the operation of the 
laws relating to the ownership and occupation of the soil; that, in 
fact, an agricultural country containing eight millions of people 
ought to be three or four times larger than Ireland, to give the people 
a fair chance of subsistence. The Irish peasant is skilled in no la¬ 
bour but in that of agriculture, and that in its rudest form* This 
position leads to the question, whether agriculture can sustain such 
a mass of population without the aid of manufactures? or failing 
manufactures, the cultivation of every inch of ground that is 


capable of it? The peasant docH his best to live. He offers an 
enormous rental for a potato-patch, without calculating whether 
he can afford to pay it or not. Potatoes are all his diet. He has 
no other resource, unless grass or sea-weeds may be considered 
as aids to'his dinners. He lives in a wigwam, and shares it with a 


pig* ^ He speaks a barbarous language, and is in arrear with the 
intelligence of the world. The proprietors of the soil upon which 
he contrives to exist look upou him as an incumbrance, the more 
especially as he is bat one out of millions similarly destitute and 
unmanageable*

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS. 


[May 27 , 1848. 


It is difficult to exaggerate the natural capabilities of the 
land upon which he and so many* like lum swarm* For 
grazing, or for com growing it is almost equally admirable* It 
has navigable rivers, excellent natural harbours, water-power suf¬ 
ficient to turn ten thousand mills, and to grind all the com of 
Christendom? it has coal and iron, and other mineral wealth, 
every possible facility for becoming a great, a prosperous, and a 
happy country, except the facility of assured good laws, and a 
competent people. By some strange and perplexing fatality of 
mismanagement, its inhabitants huve never been able or allowed to 
turn these advantages to any account, and have become at last the 
by-word of Europe, the standing reproach of British legislation, a 
foul nicer, a perpetual source of disquietude and misery, acttlng 
all imaginable remedy at defiance* The masses,of the people can¬ 
not be called civilised by any stretch of (lottery or good nature* 
As regards mere physical well-bring, the condition of the 
Esquimaux or JCaffirs is preferable to theirs. The weal; Irish 
peasant may starve, hut the strong Kaffir contrives to live* 
The Laplander cjm get rein-deer flesh or blubber to supply his 
need t but there in nothing but the potato, and not enough of thnb 
for the Celt in Ireland. All this misery seems to hare fastened 
itself upon the peasant, in consequence of the laws relating to tbe 
occupation of the soil* in those instances in which he grows com 
he may not cat it. Though he rear a pig, be never tastes animal 
food* Though he keep fowls, he may not eat an egg* Bent absorbs 
everything but tbe potato, AH the other produce is exported to 
England to pay it* When the potato fails, the peasant has but to 
resign himself to starvation, to fever, and to death. When it is 
ordinarily abundant, a perilous fecundity among the people lays 
up a stock of embarrassment iar future years. 

Even amid the revolutions of empires, and the overthrow of the 
oldest man archies of Europe, the world rings with the woes of the 
Irish* France, Germany, Russia, India, America, cry shame upon 
ns, that we should, cither wilfully or ignorantly, have driven a whole 
people to 80 wretched a state, and rendered their case coo desperate to 
admit of a remedy within the lifetime of a generation* Stung with 
remorse and sympathy* wc liave expended upon them and their 
brother Celts of the Highlands the hard earnings of our people, 
and mortgaged our future credit for their support^—earnings which 
we could not spare without damage to oursdve$* and credit which 
was already too lavishly drawn upon before this generation came 
into the world* The impover ished and nearly insolvent landlords 
looked on bewildered at such misery, most of them unable, many 
unwilling to help- Yet in that destitute countiy feu* or ** ve 
millions of cultivable acres of land lie waste, undrained, and use¬ 
less, never having contributed a bushel of com or a |>eck of pota¬ 
toes to the sustenance of man in our present geological era. 

It seems to us that one remedy at least is hem* The owners of 
this waste have never exercised any rights or duties of proprietor¬ 
ship over it, and they have not the means to reclaim it* The Irish 
nrmv talk as they will about M Repeal j" bat as there arc some 
millions of peasants who would willingly betake themselves to the 
tusk of drawing some food out of this waste land, if they could be 
secured some right in the soil to reward them tor their exertion, 
would not this be a remedy better worth trying than any that have 
ever been proposed for their miseries? We learn that the potato 
has been extensively planted this yeur, and that this, the lowest 
and most easily raised of ail food, bids fair to he tolerably abun¬ 
dant, If so, the old story will have again to be told—the crop 
will again fail—another famine will decimate the land \ and we 
shall again have to go through the ordeal of the last two years. 
One portion of the people will die of starvation, as heretofore, and 
those who remain will talk rebellion, instead of cultivating the soil, 
and be goaded by new Mitchells, O'Briens, a fid Meaghers into poli¬ 
tical frenzy. We can, in fact, sec no hope for Ireland until the people 
arc raised into the condition of bread-eaters ; and we can acc no 
means of accomplishing this object except the cultivation of the 
bogs and other wastelands. It is, no doubt, a difficult task ; and 
hard to say, if the people were allowed to squat upon these lands, 
whether they would not prefer the easy cultivation of the potato, 
tithe more difficult cultivation of superior food, and so reproduce 
the old misery which they now suffer. But, difficult or the re¬ 
verse, the attempt, at all events, must he marie to transform these 
millions into wealth-producers by such means ns are available* 
Emigration, even if a million of the people left her shores for 
America or Australia, would not benefit the millions that would 
remain ; and the cost of such an emigration, were it other than 
spontaneous, would be so enormous a*s to forbid the attempt. If 
there is to be an “Organization of Labour** anywhere under the 
*im, surely the waste lands of Ireland and the Irish people might 
be made mutually available for the attempt*

of iui Independent Poland. Ho then explained the cause of the failure of tlm 
Follsb expedition, which lie ascribed to the eternal dissension* which hftd sepa¬ 
rated the different races of the Polish population, and proved at all times the 
scourge of Poianti. Thn Ring of Prussia was not to btomo for what had oc¬ 
curred, nor had ho mare lied on army into Paten to put down the insurrection, 
or to withdraw the premises ho tmd mode. Jt was merely to Inter peso between 
the German and Polish races, which were exterminating each other, and to 
separate the coixibutunta* Tho Gormans in Posen were about 300,000 in num¬ 
ber, and the Poles 800.000. Prussia would not permit the whole of the Pul tab 
omlffrnnta to enter the Duchy of Posnn, but the oatxta* of that duchy were 
freely admitted* and 3L dArnlui had Justly observed that If they extended that 
privilege to all, Prussia would be hmlved in u war with Russia, and old Poland 
would be thn first victim, M, Lamartine could give no explanation respecting 
the defeat of the Poles in Ctacow and Gatifcta ; but the intelligence dally 
received from Vico its convinced him that Poland would, ore long, be abis 
to establish herself the™ on a broader basis than On the ride of Russia. 
The only means which could have any chance of success wfero friendly raw ton- 
strancea in favour of Folond. As Ministers* ho said, wu are far from throw ing 
olBtaclcjf in the way of the raitnifeatatlbufl demanded in favour of Poland; the 
Chamber bos the right to proclaim Us sovereignty* Its sympathy, but that 
proclamation must not he useful to Poland alone, It roust bo also to France 
herself, ttn d It la for that reason that we support whatever is likely to Attain 

that twofold object, l have deplored more than any one. the scones of vio¬ 

lence aud disorder which took place Ju this Assembly on Munday lari, and I 
regret that the glorious name of Poland Should have been made tho pretext 
for sedition. (Approbation ■} These spontaneous demon strut ions In favour of 
Poland are not, and never will he, A source of cmbamusnient for US— 
we certainly never will repulse the warm appeals to Justice and to reu- 
jkhi. No* citizens* it is the force of our diplomacy* ao it la the ho¬ 
nour* the eternal honour, of the people of Prance in the midst of 

the grayest crisis forgetting Its own concerns and its own hunger, to think only 
of i la brethren of the north, which it knows only byname. Calumnies hava beeu 
heapfaL upon tut, but know that all tlio thoughts of the Government and its most 
ardent fretings have been to keep France at pence with tho world. Wo have 
pursued the realisation of tlmt idea In the Interest of that people by whom and 
for whom tbe Revolution was achieved. But that Interest* and all the great 
qUOistioifa connected with It, cunnot be made available and useless unless by the 
ventlnmmce Of peace. (Hear, bear.) General ponce was formerly an Utopian 
idea* but now there is an absolute necessity that it roust become a reality for 
nations and Governments, Formerly it w as said tliat the victory remained to

the aide of right, of justice, end of truth. (Great applause followed this db- 
course.) 

11. Ba&tLde, Miutrier for Foreign Affairs, having Attended the tribune* In¬ 
formed Dte Assembly that he had presented yesterday to the Executive Com¬ 
mittee the American 3Unistor t JL Hash* wiio was the bearer of n formal recogni¬ 
tion of the French Republic by the American Govern incut* and of im address of 
congratulation voted by tluj Congress of the United States. M. IloatLde aiig- 
geried that a Committee be namod to draw up a reply to the address of tho 
Ajncrfoan Con giess.—Agreed to* 

M. d p Aragon wax calted to the tribune to address ciuestions to the Govern¬ 
ment relative tu the affair* of Holy* He, however, annuunced that the recent 
events of Vienna had placed those affairs In a new pbasls* and that bo should 
poripom? Ufa explanations. 

M Wblottakl prepOicd that France should address an appeal to Germany In 
behalf of Poland, after thi- Execntivo Committee should have informed the As¬ 
sembly how R understood, the dutle* uf France towards Poland, 

If, Vuvin thought wUh M. Wolawakl fiuuao address to ihe Gen nan people in 
behujf of Poland would be tho means of obtaining the desired object. He had* 
with thnt view, prep sired a declaration* which he urt vised the Assembly to for¬ 
ward to the Paritaiin nt assembled at Frankfort* to Invite that Assembly to pro¬ 
claim Llie constitution of Poland* and Hie reparation of the immense injustice 
perpetrated In 1772, and which had ever since been a permanent cause of a:*- 
ytdcrs and crimes. The m-fcStabltflliTriQftt of Poland was indispensable for tho 
interest and security Of Earopa* and the National Assembly should declare that 
France wuli1.i 1 consider the restoration of an Independent Poland, as the bosfa nf 
all f iitnrc European arrangements. 

M. Jojnme Bonaparte conslderod that a declaration m proposed by M* YaVii* 
would be unaviillahlc unless accompanied by nn. army of ObO.tiOO men. Ho sug- 
gifted that It ww not to the parliament of Frankfort France should apply* but 
to the Governments of Berlin and Vicuna, from whom she should require tho 
fuRlliiLent cf their promises to Posen, Cracow, and Gallk-la. 

M. BuriS.de* the Minister for Foreign Affairs, waa of Opinion that tho Assembly 
should fcwtopt the declaration moved by M, Vavlu* which contained nothing 
aggressive—not a word of menace. 

A member then proposed tho following order nf the day:—“The National 
Assembly, utter having hoard tho explanations of the Executive Committee, 
approves the conduct pursued by tho Fro visional Government; and, convinced 
that the Executive Government will persevere in sentiment* of jaatiee. firmness, 
and moderation, nnd wiU neglect no means of attaining die re-couetltutiun of 
Poland, passes to tfcu order of the dny*“ t <+ Hear, hear**' ’« YeA, yea*") 

After wvcral otiiera h»d been prepared and propored, 

Si. Taacheraad moved that they all be referred to the Committeo on Foreign 
Affitirs* which proposition was finally adopted. 

WcDKEfioat.—At unec'eluck, M. Buriicz* the IfrcsEdcnf, took tho choir, and 
ahortly ufrerwards eoturounicated to the Assembly two letter^ signed by 
FraiH;ola and Henry tTOrleans, dated Claremont, the tftth lust., and ;i third 
le,ter of Louis d Orleans, dated the 2l)di, pretesting against the decree pro* 
notmcliig the bunfaliment of their family. The two former said that they felt 
bound* in consequence of that bill, to depart from the irjeme they had hitherto 
Imposed upon themselves. They trusted that tho sentiment which induced them 
to break silence should lie understood. They did not wish |b obtrude on the Go¬ 
vernment the consideration of tbelr private Interests amid the grave question a 
tlurt preHjceupled the country. Rut, in presumes of a banishment decree, they 
could not remain longer rilent. They thought that their resignation, cm quitting 
Atgiera, when an appetti was made to their patriotism, had been appreciated, 
and they never Imagined that they could foe rejected from a country they had 
loyally served—on a of them ua a seaman and the other as ft soldier. They could 
pot either of them accept the oariinUution that decree established, and concluded 
by protesting aeuinri it* The Duke de Nemours, absent from Claremont on the 
I9lh* declared tliat he fully concurred In the sentiment expressed by bis brothers, 
and in their protest against the bill, 

M. DuriLtaJ*the reporter of the committee) to which tho Orleans Family Ba¬ 
nishment Ball was referred, being culled to the tribune, stated that, tho com¬ 
mittee bad been unanimously of opinion to adapt tho decree, which was as foi- 
lowsiThe Naitfonol Assembly decrees that the -entrance of the French ter¬ 
ritory, denied the Iiourbpus of the elder branch by the Jaw of tho IOth of April, 
I& 32 , shall likewise be denied to Louis Philippe and Ills family." AI. Dorifaa 
demanded, in the name of the committee, that the Executive Committee should 
submit forthwith to the Assembly a decree relative to the private domain and 
civil lint of the ex-Royal family, and, os respected the letters read by the Ifreal* 
dent, ho proposed tho order of the day, which was voted. The Assembly after¬ 
wards decided tliat tho discussion on the Banishment Bill should bu fixed for 
Friday, 

M. Dronin de Lhays* tho reporter of the Foreign CommlEtee, announced Hint 
it had unanimously agreed to the following resolution:— 
il The National Assembly invites the Committee of the Executive Power to 
continue to follow, tus the rule of its conduct, the unanimous wishes of the Na¬ 
tional Assembly summed up in those words; 1 A fraternal com pact With Ger¬

GERMAN STATES. 

OrE^ivo op the German Fakltamest at Fhanxfo&t —The German rar¬ 
mament opened on the IB til. There were about 320 members present, not quite 
half the number of which the Parliament ii to consist. Tho authorities of 
Frankfort hail Adapted every necessary measure for the preservation of public 
* order. After having met at the Senate House, the members proceeded between 
the lines of the National Gnurds* who wore drawn up on both sides, to the 
Church of St. Paul* the temporary Parliament House; bat, long before that 
period* the doors of St, Paul's Church wbjt$ surrounded by an Immense multi¬ 
tude of persons, most of them respectably dressed i and* at a quarter peat tluree, 
that portion Of tho public to whom tickets hud not been distributed were per¬ 
mitted to take their places in the gallery wliicli runs round the centre of the 
building* 

St. Paul 1 * Church is an edifice which forma in its Interior a perfect circle* and 
the entire of tbo lower part is distributed Into circle* Of seats, all turning round 
what may be termed the centre* which was once a pulpit, bin has now been 
converted into u throne for the President, with a tribune in front for the Orators, 
and filled by seats for the official short-hand writers. Outside of tills great 
circle are pillars which a uppovt the gallery : and lathe spaces between the pillars 
seats have been reserved for foreign ambassadors, for the ladles, for tho report* 
ers of the press* foreign os well as domestic* and also for distinguished at rangers* 
to whom the compliment was paid of giving them admission to some better place 
than that to be found in the gallery. 

TtiG drat act to which tho Purl lament proceeded was to elect the oldest mem¬ 
ber to act provisionally as President, aa In the French Chamber. The youngest 
men were taken us Secretaries. >1. Lange (Councillor of the Treasury at 
Hanover) took the choir ; and, after opening the wsafon by a few appropriate 
remarks, he rend a congratulatory letter* or rather an addc^R* from the German 
Diet to the Parliament, A debate arose respecting the form of answer tn bo re* 
turned, After some discussion* the debate was adjourned. 

No sitting of any Interest was expected to take place till after the lapse of five 
or six days* Tho Assembly would not elect a President till the creator part of 
the members were present. 

Tho Assembly resolved, on the 21 at, that tho short-hand reports of each day's 
proceedings shall be printed and published next day fft txiwto. The committee 
charged With this matter declare— 1M 1st. That the Assembly docs not moke itself

at the lowest possible price tout will cover the cost of paper and printing, 3rd*

many to allow them to be delivered free of postage*" 

PRUSSIA* 

Tlio new National Assembly opened its session on Monday, the 22nd Instant. 
The controversy refep&fing the retunvof the Prince of Prussia, which has been 
carried on rather fiercely or late, Is moderating ; the victory remains with the 
Prince's supporters; the Ultras have recently become weaker and weaker by 
every demonstration they have attempted. 

AUSTRIA. 

Vienna lias again become the theatre of proceedinguof a rovolTiticmary nature, 
which have led to the retirement of the Ettfjfcnir and the Imperial family from 
the Capital. The eoTmuotion and alarm which had been growing up of late 
reached their climax on the night of the 15th lust. The excitement and disaf¬ 
fection caused by the provisional law for the elections was still further Increased 
by an order issued on the 13th for the dissolution of the central committee Of 
tho National Guard* consisting of about afto individuals, organiied for political 
objects* and which* backed as it was by .inch a large array of physical force, 
threatened to overawe the Constituted authorities. These unpopular measures 
oti tho part of the Government led bo stormy debates in the aato of tho Univer¬ 
sity ; and the students, who had previously sent in a petition against the pro¬ 
posed Constitution T lost no time in drawing up another* the presentation of 
which they proposed to back by an array of physical force. They assembled at 
the University at on early boar on the llth, and determined to make tho three 
following demands 

1. That the military, who during the preceding night had bivouacked In 
large numbers on the ulacK should bo withdrawn, 

2. That the Central Committee of the National Guard should not bo dissolved. 

3. Tlmt the law for the elections should be declared null and void. 

Tire lower class of labourers met in tho BrigUten-Au to the number or 10,000* 
and exprosKcd an Intention of marching into the town; this was interdicted by 
the authorities. 

An Imposing military forte was stationed on the Glacis, and the whole of the 
National Guard (the Academic Leglbh atom) excepted) was called out. The 
gales of the Burg were closed, and neither ingress or egress permitted, 

The old Bfirgor Guard fraternised with the students, who marched out with¬ 
out orders. Several deputations were admitted to the Burg, and after receiving 
many answer*, which were not considered satisfactory, the demands of the stu¬ 
dents and the populace w ere ultimately Conceded, 

The Ministers next day resigned office ; a step which, It is said,'would have 
been taken by FUlorsdoff before conceding the demands of the people; but tho 
representations made to him of the danger in which the Monarchy was placed, 
and the pigob&hillty of a sanguinary Contest* induced him to postpone Ids resig¬ 
nation. 

The Mini stems hod consented to retain their portfolios ad initritn till anew 
Ministry wita appointed. 

Such was the state of things up to the 17th. 

On the evening of that day, at about six o’clock* an open landau, containing 
the Emperor and Empress, drove nut ofYienna by the Maria HllfGate, the Em¬ 
peror acknowledging the MiUitations of the people* who supposed he was driving 
to SchiSnbman. One hour afterwards au empty travellitig carriage* with the 
Imperial arms, took the same route, and at nine o'clock four other Imperial car¬ 
riages, each drawn by six horses, passed through tho gate. It then became ev> 
dout that the Imperial fomlly had left Vienna, This event was mode known to 
the astonished population on tho following morning* by a proclamation phi carried 
on the walls by tho Fllletsdorf Ministry, which remained In office at tho earnest 
solicitations of tho Emperor and of tho University. The proclamation stated 
that the Ministry luffi only received a verba] announcement of this departure, 
which wa$ kept a secret at th& Palace, and that the Emperor hud gone to 
Innspruck for a change of air. It also announced that Count Hozok, the Com¬ 
mander-In-Chief of the National Guard, and Wtic&Qfc, had ported after the Em- 
naror, to persuade him fa return. 

The rush on the National Hank was so great to get cash for notes, that ft waw 
found necessary to shut the gates. Small numbers were admitted at a time, and 
their notes changed, 

'The news that the Emperor had quitted the city prod need the greatest ex- 
dtement The Inhabitant*, it to understood, are unanimous for the Emperor 
and tho maintenance of the constitution$1 monarchy. Several lli-advlscd young 
men took advantage of the confusion which prevailed to proclaim the Republic, 
but the people were excessively oxnsperutM, fell upon them, and would have 
hanged them If the Nattoned Guard had nut Interfered most energetically, and 
rescued them. AH were acting in concert for the ajjeedy restoration of order* 
and a deputation hsul been sent to the Emperor* expressing the universal desire 
that he would come back immediately. 

It is a strange coincidence, that at the very time of tho Emperor's departure, 
the official organ of tire Court, the Wiener Zdtuny, was concocting* and after¬ 
wards published, a leading article on (he lifter Impossibility of such an occur¬ 
rence*

Prom Washington, under date May 0, we learn that on Mny 4 a bill was in¬ 
troduced In the senate, from the committee on foreign relations, authorising 
the President to despatch a military and naval force, with arms and ammuni¬ 
tion, to Yucatan* to assist tha white race in defending [hcm.se]ves ogiilnat tho 
Indians, who ore sweeping the country before them by fire and sword. 

tin the ftth, Mr, C* B* Smith, of Indiana, moved that the house resolve it¬ 
self into a committee <m the state of the Union* which was agreed to; when the 
house took up the bill for admitting Wisconsin as a state la the Federal Union. 

Mr. Bowlin moved tho reference of tbe bill to tbe appropriate committee.—Lost. 

The debate upon the merits of the bill was continued till the committee fom* 
reported progress, aad* on motion, adjourned over till the following day. 

The President has received advices from Mexico w hich have not been made 
public, but which are unde rut hhI to represent tho ratification of tho treaty an 
h ighly improbable- 

The Hmtaon I!av Company have encroached on the Untied States territory by 
erecting posts thirty miles within the borders of Iowa, the inhabitants of which 
are demanding the dispossession of the tilt ruder s. 

The Executive of Virginia has demanded the persona charged wfth the ab’ 
dnetion of the 77 slaves from Washington city, on the ground that a number of 
the negroes stolen lwlongcd to persons in Virginia. 

Tins German citizens of Now York got up on the 8th instant a magnificent 
funeral pageant, in honour of the patriots killed during the recent revolutions 
In Germany. 

On the 8th Inst,, a most extensive fire took ploca at Detroit, Michigan. Forty 
buildings had boon consumed when the accounts left. Tho Steamboat and 
American Hotels wore both in flames, and the ridrertiVr newspaper office was 
entirety consumed* It Is stated that one-third of tho city was threatened With 
destruction* 

MEXICO. 

The accounts from tfexlcp represent the Mexican Congress of Quoretero as 
seeking to gain time, and to delay the ratification of the treaty. One paper says, 
tint Pena Pena hud asked foar months' delay. 

We learn from Yucatan that Governor Mendez has resigned in favour of his 
political rival, Senor Barbechano* wh ich measure has produced Increased dissen¬ 
sions among the troops. The native Indians of that province were atUI destroy¬ 
ing, with no relenting ferocity, tho whole white population, man, woman* and 
child, Tho authorities hud applied to the British, American, and Spanish autho¬ 
rities dt Cuba ; but as what they chiefly warned was military force, and that 
force could not be prompily given, It la much to be feared that by this time the 
Indian population will have regained all that the Spaniards hud taken from them 
three centuries ago* 

WEST INDIES* 

In Jamaica the Inhabitants continue to entertain the most depressing appro' 
henEilons. Do Cordova’s mercantile circular of the 21st of April reman s 
“ We have nothing new to report of tho condition of our market since the 
date of our teat issue. The same inactivity and camion* the same want of con¬ 
fidence and tightness in monetary affairs which then characterised the business 
of tha community, continue now to operate against it* to ati appealances to a 
more a]arming extent." 

The Column* of the Island papers devoted to news are filled with accounts 
of meetings, and their advertUlng columns with resolutions on the stale of Ito 
affairs.

expecting a rising of the blacks, ton I stationed troop* in the most disturbed dis¬

a Lengthened drought, and several cattle had died to consequence. 

BRAZIL. 

Advices have been received thin week from Brasil and the River Plate. From 
tho former we learn that the Ministry* which was announced by tho lost packet 
to tie in course of formation, had hot Iwren completed* The announcement of 
tho revolution In France created little or no sensation, I^rd Howdon was about 
to return to England In the firebrand stcnmOT, hla mEaston for the aettfoment

Matters in the River Plate are represented as unchanged. 

INDIA*

THE FETE DE LA CONCORDE, AT PARES. 

Gif Sunday, this lung-promised but twice deferred Festival, took place at Paris. 
By tbe activity of our Artists, who witnessed the ceremony tn Its (several stages, 
we are enabled thfa day to illustrate too most striking episodes of the great 
pageant; the best accompaniment to which will be the folio wing details of too 
selected and abridged from the Monday afternoon's edition of OaUgwni't 

Mzsttnytr:— 

PREPARATIONS* 

Before five o'clock in the mo ruing, the rappet began to heat In aft the different 
quarters of Furls, and continued to send forth Its quick sharp aotmd every 
quarter of an hour till six. It then ceased—the National Guards beginning to 
uiEke their appearance, and detached piquets of dragoons and cuirass tors having 
already taken up their stations at various points along the boulevards, the Pluco 
de In Madeleine, the Place de La Concorde, and In front of the Palace of the Na¬ 
tional Assembly. 

In toe Place de ta Concorde, as early as sfrt, a considerable crowd, had 
el ready assembled, and chiefly of well-dressed persona. Tables, choirs, stands, 
br nchea, and every thing that could give « vantage-ground ia the spectator to 
view Die ceremony bettor, were disposed about in great profusion. Still, all that 
wax to be wltueSKCd from tota point was too passage nf the National Guards and 
otlior troop* i the great tpectcKfe of the day being in the Chump do Iturs. Th* 
weather was delightful—(wareely a cloud cheeqnered toe bright blue dry; tha 
snftt shone brightly on the flit-arma and brass accoutrernonts* of the soldiers 
placed on thertep?* and beneath tho wide fomdcoi the Palace of the Assembly; 
and tin tri-coloured flag waved lazily upon tho apex Of the pediment. 

Although seven o'clock wa* appointed la the hour for tho Eaproscntativei or 
tbe People to leave the Chamber for the Champ de Mars, they did not start until 
half-past eight In the interim, ous hod time to remark tout they did not all 
bear too same distinctive mark os deputies; some merely wore on tho left 
brenat toe broad red ribbon und rosette, which mi adopted after the attack of 
the 15th ; others a more ornate articlo of the same form, embroidered in gold 
and terminating with gold fringe; whilst cithers exhibited the tri-coloured scarf 
across the shoulder, agreed to In toe sitting of the day before. A few oven 
seemed desirous of avoiding toe notice which this somewhat glaring ornament 
was sura to draw on them, as they wore it tmder thdr coat, so that a small por¬ 
tion merely appeared across tbe breast* Some deputies also wore both orna¬ 
ments. General Citvalgnac was amongst tbe -earliest arrivals—a fine* toll* sol- 
clter-like figure, with an appearance of youth in hta whole bearing* M* Gamier 
Pages also arrived early* with Ids long half hartfring down after the fashion of 
r D3. and his pale keen features giving you the idea of the unsettled mtod wear¬ 
ing out the body. JL Buchoz, tho Prertdent, wqa also Ofle of those who came 
in time, a heavy but good-natured-tooking man. Meanwhile, au immense 
crowd hud assembled; along every part of the lfue of march—that Is* from the 
Ptace do la ftnsttife to tlio Clmmp do Mara. 

A little before seven* a large bedy of Elm National Guard A rhrraf* a reinsrk- 
ably fine set of meu, took up their station chi®} to tho bridge* and along tba 
quay. The Garde Mu bite arrived about the same time, and placed themoetves 
clone to the grand eulrutico of the National Palace. Troops of the ltae* dra¬ 
goons, and CtiruuterB soon followed; a number of offleers belonging to the 
staff of the National Guard thronged in nearly at tho samo tlmu* and the grand 
entrance being thrown wide Open, they placed thctffselve* on ouch hide the wliohs 
way up the steps, so as to form a double line* through which the repreacnutEiveii 
nf the people would have to pass In going down to take thoir place In the pro¬ 
cession through the people. 

At half-purt ,-fev-ett o'clock, the scene from the floor of the portico of the Clmm- 
tar wai a most animated on© —everywhere troops* people, flags* uniforms* Na¬ 
tional Guards mingled together. When, how ever, the eya became accustomed 
to the mass, and could single nut the various parts of the immense whole, it was 
evident that all w in perfectly well arranged. Although tli e wholes of the bridge, 
the quays, and ihe Place do ta Concorde warn covered over with human being?, 
it was soon seen that current* were passing freely through the quays In different 
directions. 

The whole of the space seen from the steps was thickly studded with tri- 
coloured flogs, borne by the delegates* rem up from the provinces to Park to bo 
present tu toe/efv* They were nearly all the same In thetr style of jnsqjptknn 
—toe top bearing the name of the Department, whilst below w as ■■ lire ia M- 
publiquer Some of these streamer* were richly embroidered in gold; and 
some, in place of the white colour, had clotli of sliver. What Struck the eye 
most* after the.se flags, was the vast uomber of officers on horseback, in bril¬ 
liant uniforms. They by degrees drew In round the Chamber* and iu flic end 
constituted tiie immediate guard to the representative* when too procession 
moved* Troops kept passing down the quays, to form the Una on both rides of 
the way* until about half-part eight, at which hour the bearers of the depart* 
mental flags moved in, and arranged themselves In a somewhat theatrical 
iablrau In front of the steps of the Chamber. The deputies had by this time col¬ 
lected under the peristyle, and were ready to start, when suddenly General 
Cldment Thornes, the commander oftho National Guard, dashed up on his white 
chargor to the foot of the rteprt and, taking off his hat* announced tlmt all was 
ready. 

THE PROCESSION TO THE CHAMP DE MARS. 

Tho signal being given, the representatives moved down the stop*, four 
abreast, hut not in any particular order* the Ministers and Executive Cutumifteo 
taking their places indiscriminately. SI* de Lamartine and M. Floctm were 
amongst the tart* hut not together. The representatives were tremendously 
dicored, the whole crowd taking off their hats m tbe <w%s approached. They 
went Off foot, along the quay, to the Champ do Mara, m4 were exactly ore hour 
And a half in reaching the strode prepared for them In front of the Eeele 
MHltalre* 

We now notice the great features of tho procession. Immediately after the mem¬ 
bers of the Natinmti Assembly canto toe Mayor of Paris, and of the surrounding 
communes, wearing their tri-ootonrod icarfs; then followed the delegates of the 
departments. When the latter had advanced & short distance down the Quay, 
there wax what may be tamiod mi historical in le mi pi Ion. At this point about 
twenty old rnerf, with e banner inscribed Vhftiqueurs tic la ftaatille, 173V‘ 
who had been lying by tho way-side, tottered forward, and in querulous tones 
demanded tn bo tuliffilted next the Mayor. " JFr ought, 1 ' said tho spokesmau* 

*' to he first of oil! Without us how would yea have had liberty? It was wo 
who showed rim way to achieve great things.” The delegates yielded them toe 
pm, though without tho slightest acknowledgment of the right of precedence. 

After tho delegates came the various trade corporations, or t'onipwjruau, cucti 
with soino specimen of thoir occupation* Some of these displays were very' 
pretty* The flower-tnakai^, for hi stance, boro a circular ottoman, with a tor- 
of magnificent flowers in too centre, and a plumo of feathers in each trf 
foe four compartments. The armourers carried a large trophicd group of amis 
a r<i»cv?wia upon u platform* with a superb ault of armour at each corner * 
Tho uiusIcaMhstnimerit maker* had a covered ear, drawn by four hartes, in 
which was alurge group of hrnrpo, horns, flutes, cymbals, pianos, fee.; amidst 
which reclined several young glrla in white bo many St + Cecilias, vet— 
amidst them stood a most wnhallowed puff—u uowly-iuvented and labelled 
piano 1 The Branra do Voyage also* hatt a lofty car, fitted with article far 
” traveUlug*" and a number of fafldnjitfo .t compapnes. Tho goldsmiths bore u 
urogulflcent vow, from tho classical d' 1 -': it uf Elagmaun* 

The Clmmp dc Mara was arranged uitl merely for brilliancy of display, but 
for accommodation. The whole urea wu* covered with sand. Iu order that there 
might bo firm footing; and it coneldorabJe uuinbev of reftteshment-rooma had 
heeit erected . In the room of the Ecol&MititaLre, behind too members of too Ex¬ 
ecutive Government, seats were provided for about One hundred persons, chiefly 
their relative? and intimate friends; anil handsome tortpurt* wore offered to too 
laillcs. In different parts of the Champ de Mars were statues erected for the oc¬ 
casion ; and tipportte to the Pout dTeffa w ore two colo.istti obelisks. 

Tho mardi of the ti'oops and different bodies named in the programme of 
the/>te before the membera of thn National Assembly caiumenocEl with the de¬

and surrounding accessories, form an effective ftrifeaw, certainly not the least 
picturesque object ta tho line. 


GENERAL BARAGUAY D*HILI J rERS* 

This bmvo officer distinguished himself In the conquest of Algeria; and, on 
too organization of the National Assembly, was appointed its military com¬ 
mandant. In the sitting of Tuesday, however* the General rose, and announced 
that the eoinmatnl by wlifcb he was commissioned to take charge of the protcc- 
W** National Assembly had boon withdrawn from him, and givqn to the 
Minister of War. M, fte la Ruche Jacquelhi Mcended the tribune* and protested 
against the rndOttt or any other person or authority having taken it upon him 
to annul an set of the National Assembly. It was the National Assembly that 
had entrusted its defence to Gen. Baraguay <rmillers* and the Assembly alono 
could annul its commission* The Minister of War rose and assured the gallant 
genemi that as Minister or War the supreme command of all the troops had de* 
volved upon him, without prejudice to any special commands held by other 
officers, Tbft view of the case was confirmed by M, Buchus, the President, who 
considered-tho superintendence Of measures for the defence of the National 
Assembly to pertain to the Minister of War. General d’HlUJere persisted In 
**y in Z ]£■«» would resign the authority he held* as ho would not act where 
Etaponslbihty was divided. The President moved that In accepting the resigna¬ 
tion of the gallant General, the Assembly should vote him their thanks, which 
paused unanimously, 

THE PRISONERS AT VINCENNES* 

Ik the account of the "Attempted Conn ter-RcvoIution In Tarts* given In bur 
Jonninl of i«t week, wo detailed the arrest of Sobrier, Raspail, Cabot, Albert. 
Biirbca K Huber, Conrtaia, and others of the Communist party 

g^ 5 ”** 5 * ™ sent to the Castle of Vincennes* In diligences, 
with National Guards upon tho top and 1 m tho interior of the vehicles. Barbfa, 
it Ja stated, during the (oumey, made an ineffectual attempt to escape. The dl- 
ligcncea were also guarded by an escort of dragoons, as shown in the accompli* 
uying Illustration, in the distance of which Is shown the Cnstle of Vincennes* 

In the second Engraving we have the donjon of the prison-fortress. 

Vincennes lies about u league east of Paris: it km far seven centuries been 


j Celebrated for its ch&teau and forest* The present bunding wna founded in 1337' 
by Philip da Valois. Henry V.* King of England, died here in 1 4*2. Louis XI 
enlarged and embellished the chdteat^ wbk-h was his favourite residence; and 
during his reign, the donjon, which our Artist has represented, became a state 
prison. Charles IX. died here in 1574- The buildings wore extended by Louis 
XIII. and XIV. In IfifiJ, Cardinal Maxnrln died at Vincennes;; and in 1715, It 
™ chosen by the Duke of Orleans as the residence of Louis XV„ instead of 
Vorsaillwt, till the palace of the Tutieries could be prepared. After that period 
the Castle was used as a state prison, and tins celebrated MitebeaU was confined 
in it from 1777 to 1780. In Ifttw, the unfortunate Due d p Enghion was shot here, 
by order of Napoleon, and buried in the southern ditch of the castle; but his 
body was disln tarred in i 81 (i, and named to the Chapel. Pri nee Follgnnc and 
other Ministers of Charles X. wore confined hero after the Revolution of 1630; 
and last year the Duke of Montpundcr occupied apartments in it* 

The chdtwu forms a large parallelogram: round It were formerly nine towers, 
eight of which wore demolished In 1818, The principal entrance is to the north, 
through u heavy buttressed rectangular tower, with pointed windows. The 
donjon or keep is a square tower with turrets at the comers: ft ia situated to 
the west* and in the centre of a square fortified court, with round watch-turrets 
at the angles. It Ls now used partly as a powder-magazine and partly as a 
prison ; It U ascended by a winding staircase of 240 steps In the south-eastern 
turret, and it commanda a magnificent view of Paris. Opposite to tlila, in the 
court, is the chapel, a fine bnilding of the LGth century, with three spires. 

The Castle lias been for seme time used as the central dtp&t of artillery for 
the garrison of Paris, and has been put In a state of complete defence* and 
groat; alteration* have been made here In consequence of (ho fortifications of 
Paris* In the Fort of Vincennes* not far distant from the Castle, ten loaders of 
the conspiracy are nt present confined. 

Wo find it stated that a plan for the escape of Barbds, from Vincennes* was 
actually In course of ftxecntion, he having passed several doors, when he was 
seized by one of the young Garde Mobile, who recognised him. Gan. Courtsft, 
we learn, has been transferred from the Luxembourg to Vincennes. 

The PrcAWNiys 'Mt appears certain that Barhkj has attempted to escape 
from Vincennes. He had gained over two of Ms jailors, but was recognised and 
Stepped by a third. Barbee is raid to have made some resistance to Ills being 
carried back, and that instead of being lodged as before on the ground* fiwr of 
the Castle, lie is now confined at the top of the donjon."

While Paris has been restored to tranquillity, and whilo confi¬ 

dence after late events has begun to revive in France, the ball of 
Revolution has been rolling in Austria with a velocity that threat e lift 
to transfer the whole interest of Europe from Paris to Vienna. The 
Emperor of Aus trin actmg,itistobe presumed, under advice, has taken 
flight from the capital. It is not easy to over-estimate the import¬ 
ance of the step. The distrust of his subjects which he has thus 
manifested cannot fail hereafter, whatever may be its effect at pre¬ 
sent, to emperil bis position, and complicate the difficulties that 
surround his throne and person* Tho flight to Vnrennes was the 
most fatal act of Louis the Sixteenth, The attempted flight of 
tho EmporOT Ferdinand to Innspruck is almost equally ominous. 
Tt e Emperor, it appears, has been induced to return ; hut, if so, it 
is impossible not to fed that in Vienna he will no longer bo at 
liberty ; that ha will be jealously watched by contending parties* 
and used as a hostage, rather than reverenced os a Sovereign. The 
empire, lacking adhesion among its parts, is dividing Into fractions; 
ami Bohemia, Hungary, Lombardy, and Austria Proper, each pur¬ 
sues its own separate reforms and its own peculiar wants, without 
reference to the effect they may have on the unity of the empire and 
the fortunes of the house of Ilapsbnrgh. The “ deluge* 1 that Prince 
Meiternich predicted ascertain to follow his own death, or removal 
from the actual governorship of Austria, has only falsified his pre- 
diction by bursting over the land before the time appointed. But the 
waters are out. They have swept Meftemich before them, and 
according to all pteseut appearances will nbt subside tmtil the once 
great and powerful Austrian Empire shall have been broken up 
into three or four Kingdoms or Republics, and until the traces of 
the old political system shall hhvo been utterly imniMlatod.

£0JVI?OjV, SATUUDAY, AFAY 27, 184S, 

The ill-judged and impertinent dictation of Lord Palmerston in 
the affairs of Spain, to which wo directed attention in a recent 
Number of this Paper, has produced its effect* The British Am¬ 
bassador 1ms been politely ordered to quit Madrid, and has already 
arrived in London. Ixird Palmerston took care to state in the 
House of Commons on Tuesday night* that Sir IL Buhvers de¬ 
parture was not significant of any rupture between the two coun¬ 
tries, TVe must say that it looks marvelioualy like one, and that 
people of all shades of politics in England confess, not without 
shame, that Sir H. Bulwer has been rightly served; and that the 
Spanish Government could not, if it had any regard for its dignity, 
have pursued any other course. Not that we blame Sir I L Rul- 
wer. He but followed the instructions of his superior, the Foreign 
Minister* who is alone to blame fortheTndignity the country has suf¬ 
fered in tiie person of its representative. Sir H * Balwer will probably 
be made the scape-goat in this matter, that Lord 1 J aimers ton may not 
receive the full share of an i road version which belongs to him. We 
truftt, however, that Lord Falmerstou will take a lesson, and be 
wiser for the future. No one doubts hie Lordship's ability or 
energy, bat his discretion in this case has been singularly at fault 
To f>e snubbed by a third-rate power, and to be obliged to put up 
with ihe snubbing, because wo have been in the wrong, is humili¬ 
ating indeed.

COURT JLND HAXJT TON. 


Thk chief interest of tbe Parliamentary proceedings of the week 
is centred in the short debutc that took place on tbe postponement 
of Mr* HuWfi motion upon Parliamentary Reform, Lord George 
Bcntinck having precedence on Tuesday night* contrived to occupy 
tiie House with a morion for some miscellaneous returns* and with 
a proposition for adjourning over the Derby Day. The debates 
that ensued wore off the evening until hall-past eleven, when Mr* 

11 Lime, by the advice of the party with which he acts, refused to 
bring forward his motion, on the ground that the subject was too 
important to be discussed at such an hour* This brought up Mr. 

Fcargus O'Connor* who accused Mr* Hume of betraying the cause, 
and praised himself as the only lender of the people* Mr. Cobclen, 
however* administered a rebuke to the member for Nottingham 
which he will not soon forget; and* in the name of the party 
seeking for n practical refonn, repudiated all connexion, past, 
present* and to come* with the powerless, though violent faction 
that owns Mr. O'Connor as its chief. 

Lord John Bussell took occasion of the feeling m the Ilot^e to 
make a declaration, which, or we are much mistaken* will here¬ 
after be considered one of the most memorable he ever made* l m 
Lordship stated his belief that “neither household suffrage nor foundation 
universal suffrage was desired or demanded by the middle or 
working classes f* and Mr. Hume, retiring into the library at mid¬ 
night* wrote a short and pithy letter to the reformers of the 
United Kingdom, in forming them of his Lordship's assertion, and 
appealing to them to make known their wishes and opinions in the 
usual constitutional manner. No challenge ciui possibly be fairer. 

The motion is fixed for the 20th of June; and, in the interval, Lord 
John Russell will lie enabled to see whether he or Mr, Hume is in 
ihe right as regards the wishes of the middle and working closes. 

Lord John Russell says* as plainly as his position allows him, 
that* as yet, there 3s no pressure for reform* Mr* Hume, with equal 
plainneeft, shows those who desire reform that if there be no pressure 
before the 20th of June* the Minister will have reason to plume 
hi mad f on having been in the right. The gauntlet is thus ptrown 
down; and the peaceful and legal agitation by which we m tins 
country know how to prevent revolutions will immediately be 
commenced, or Mr* Hume wifi have to acknowledge that be* and 
not Lord John Rtuselh has made a mistake. 


On Sunday morning the Queen and Prince Albert* und the ladies, and gentle¬ 
men of ths Court* attended Bivins Service in the military tftojtfl of the’Welling¬ 
ton Barrack*. The Prince of Woles, Prince Alfred, the Prltusiss Royal* the 
Princess Alice* the Princess Helena* and the Princess Loubm* took airiiiRS

adhered to the opinion that the School ought to bo no opened, yet, In conse¬ 
quence of ihe decision of the special general meeting In July lust, on that ques¬ 
tion, they would not re-open It, but would carry nut the other alternative which

sent maximum payment of £25 to Mi, being the cost price, reserving to theni- 
»1vcs the power of admitting into the school, on the present terms of £fr r >, the

ftrred to the Model Lodging h.niae* and expressed Ins conviction that its wtbteneo 
would* by degrees, leal to the erection of Others, and to a complete change In 
the domestic comforts of the working classes, os it would exhibit to them that 
with real economy cad be combined advantages and comforts to which they have 
hitherto been strangers. IDs Royal Hlghneis resumed his sunt amidst loud ap¬ 
plause. Lord Ashley next addressed the meeting, and read the principal points 
la the report* which was adopted on the motion of the Duke of Argyll, seconded

THE NEW REFORM MOVEMENT. 

Mr, Hume, M.P., has published the following note relative to his notice of 
motion in the House of Commons;— 

“TO THE JlUteaxESS QV TITE tTKTTED TCIWGDGJtt. 

" House of Commons, Mav S3* Midnight. 

“Gentlemen,—You ora aware that this evening was flxud for bringing for* 
ward that important motion respecting the reform of the representation, which 
had boon decided on, after much cm ts| deration and ry minimi cation with the Re¬ 
formers of this coun try* os best adapted to conciliate and unite the largest 
amount of public opinion. 

“ A previous motion of Lord George Bent [nek has occupied tho attention of 
tho House until after eleven o'clock, and it appeared to myself and friends 
around mo that it was too late to secure for tho question that discussion to which 
it h untitled, and I have* therefore, been compelled to postpone the motion to 
the ‘Hlth of June, that being the catHaot vacant day on the order-hook of the 
House, 

11 Tho Prime Minister haring seized this opportunity of stating In his place, 
that neither tho middle nor tho working classes of this country are favourable 
to the reforms of which 1 hod given notice, this delay will afford you (the Re* 
formers of the United Kingdom) the means of making known your opinions and 
wishes In the usual constitutional manner. 

"lam, gentlemen* your obedient* humble servant, 

“Joseph Hums" 

St. PascxaS,—O n Monday Inst, a numerous meeting of tho inhabitants 
Of SI. Pnncras was lidd la the vestry-mums* for the purpose of aid¬ 
ing tho movement now In progress for effectuating the following political re¬ 
forms, vLz. shortening tho duration of Pailiamenra, extending the franchise, 
voting by ballot* and the establishment of electoral districts. C. E. Wagstaff* 
Eivq.* the senior churchwarden, presided. There were about two thousand per- 
«on», including some Chartist*, present. On the platform, in addition to the 
borough members, Lord Dudley Stuart amt Sir B. Hall, was a large number of 
vestrymen. The following reMilntlons, accompanied by appropriate speeches, 
were agreed to:—*1. That, In the opinion of thin meeting, the Commons Hu use 
of Parliament does not represent either the opinions, the feelings, or the in¬ 
terests of n large majority of the British nation * end that this majority* on 
whom foils with most disproportionate and increasing pressure an enormous 
burden of taxation* has no voice whatever either In the control of that burden, 
or any other legislative enactment- 2. As the time for a radical change In our 
institution* has now arrived t as no party can obtain any great and beneficial 
change without the imaiafoncc Of the working classes \ as the working classes 
have been and are the principal sufferers and the oldest reformers; and as the 
People's Charter is the only Just sufficient measure of reform; this meeting pro¬ 
claims It# determination to adhere to the principles contained lr\ tint document 
whole and entire, Wafncd by the treachery of the reformers of 1832, this 
meeting Is determined to make no compromise* but to make the interests of la¬ 
bour the first consideration Of the State, The latter was a Chartist amendment 
upon a resolution submitted to the meeting. The vastly* therefore (which hud 
convened the meeting)* declined proposing any further resolutions* and the pro¬ 
ceedings terminated. 

fi»E at the Gismoi. rostdimcE.—On Monday afternoon, between two 
ami three o'clock, a fire broke out nt the General Boat Office, St. Martin's-!e~ 
Grand. When first discovered, the dames were Issuing from the upper windows 
of the London district side of the building, fronting Forter-tanc, Severn! en¬ 
gines were Instantly in attendance* ami they forinmtely succeeded In confining 
tho flames to that portion of the building where the fire broke out, which was, 
together with it* cun tents, completely burned out. The portion of the building 
destroyed wa* Used os a bookbinder'a workshop* and It Is conjectured that the 
fire w*a occasioned by u sudden gust of wind (the windows losing open) wafting 
coma of tha paper alluring* towards the tiro, and thua set the room in a bl&xe. 

I-iSfi iw HuNG£AFo&n Hjuucut,—O n Tutviday night* about a quarter past 
ten, u thro of coTi*ldcrahle extent broke nut In the eastern gallery of I lunger- 
ford Market* in the Strand. Tho flumes commenced In the hay store# belonging 
to Mr. Milligan, tt range of buildings 130 feet long, immediately over a number 
of fiNhinnniters' shops* The wind, which was blowing rather brisk at the time* 
wafted the flames along with such fury that in teas than ton minutes after the 
alarm wus given, tho eastern gallery* from the tower to the Dolphin Tavern* 
facing the water, wad wrapped in u sheet of Hume ; and notwithstanding th* 
tommte &f water itcaltered over the fire, It continued for some time to progress^ 
The firemen* however* mauoged to confine tho flames to that portion of the 
market in which they originated, bur they were not extinguished until the 
wtudo of tho stares* from the northern tower to the Dolphin, were destroyed* 
andthemveru seriously Jiunugcri, The origin oMhe fire is unknown; but 
from the fact of a tiro having broken out In the same portion of the market a 
tew days since, maplclon is entertained that it was the work of ati incendiary. 
The property destroyed, It is understood* was insured.

EPSOM RACES. 

Tin May again [ another ftlay I 

■ a * ■ * 

So ninny are lla thnnsimd flowara, 
So glorious are its sunny hours ; 

So green the earth, so hi no the &ky, 
As made for Hope's eternity i 


L- E. L, 


Upon the principle that the notice of a Christinas pantomime in not 
uncommonly prefaced hy a hfo tory of tile drama, from the epoch in which 
Thespis first said ballads in a cart, 

it might lawful to commence this sketch of the national festival on 
BmifUerul Downs, by stilting that it has been annually held there since 
the year 1730. The reader might also be apprised that the two great 
races, the Derby and Oaks, derive their names, the former from the title 
of the nobleman hy whom it ivas instituted, and the latter from his seat 
m Surrey. But how much better is it to leave out aueh preliminary 
mutter altogether, ami plunge m medias rttt, aa the custom wais with 
Epic poets, according to l^ord Brnm: that ia to say, in lieu of beginning 
a century or so back, to start with this instant year of grace—and from 
the capital of the world******. 

In the year 1847 there was a railway opened between London ntid 
Epa^m. By this contrivance, and others ot the same kind tending, did 
tens of thousands in the present week make their way into the pleasant 
county of Surrey, Nevertheless, is the road not wkuUy fores&ken—still 
The turnplkea glow with dust— 

and Kcnnington*gate is reminded of the days of old* Those who com¬ 
bined a rural excursion With their Epsom revels had their reward. A 
rido in May through the leafy labyrinths of Aahstoad, or over the fra¬ 
grant hills of M tcklehani, is as the waters of life to lungs fed on t he 
rank foulness of a London atmosphere. Pause—inhale nature's cordial 
—and gaze around. 

Fantastically tangled, the green hills 

Arc dothed wlrh early blossoms; through the gras* 

The qufek-oyed lizard rallies, and the bills 
Of summer birds sing welBome as yc pas* j 
Flowers firo-ib to hue, and many lit their class, 

Implore the parsing step, and with thrir dyes 
Dance in the soft breeze in a fairy moss i 
The sweetness of the violeradeup bine eye*, 

KKVd by the breath of heaven, seems coloured by Its skies. 

but, alas 1 racing, whatever it wm in Pindaris time, is no longer a sub¬ 
ject for poetry- It i» in prose, downright and Mem, that its policy mu at 
he dealt with. Its detail* must be written in plain language. True, 
tli ere abounded 

Quips and cracks and won ton wiles, 

Nodi and becks and wreathed smiles: 

But, mingled with these, in most unmeet association, arc the darkest, 
direst potions of human nature. There la Craft turning good to evil, 
and seeking its end by the breach of all ties, moral and material: Care 
that smiles to hide the icy agony at its heart. Crime that looks for its 
solace in dishonour. And these are the fruits of their harvest,who have 
made the turf a system of gambling, in which there is immunity for 
plunder - t a mighty system that has spread like a plague over the land, 
and is hastening a crisis of defiiomlisation, which* should it indeed 
arrive, will bring a heavy account against those on whom the responsi¬ 
bility shall rest. 

Change we the spirit of our theme. As the bee finds balm in the 
nightshade, so there is wholesome recreation to be met with at a race 
meeting. VYoul&'st glean philosophy on such a scene ? Behold, in front 
of the lawn, which slopes downwards to the course, there ritteth a little 
old fiddler with ao oakum wig, who, m default of nether extremities, 
maketh the journey of life in a wooden dish. There he is, considerably 
drunk—oscillating his elbow on the same spot and the same occasion os 
hist year, and for half a centiuy previous. What becomes of him in the 
winter is its little known as the retreat of the swallow j no one ever saw 
him between Michaelmas and the Idea of March. But the live-long 
summer that ancient bibulous musician is aeon ever the same—the same 
in beer and hewing, in fate and fortune, one und identical. Ponder upon 
this—and Destiny, which Ievellelh palaces and scattereth abroad princes, 
while It maketh immortal the fragment of a drunken fiddler in an 
oakum wig. 

Epsom Knees commenced on Tuesday, and terminated on Friday; but 
they were put on the scene by grave portents and omens, several days 
before. Rumours of foul play, already begun, were rife, and more than 
one event of the season pronounced a robbery. Moreover, a new scheme, 
it was stated, had turned up, whereby the problem of winning to a cer¬ 
tainty woe developed* Inst- nd of betting his own money, the projector 
deals" with that of his customers in the capacity of an agent, Should 
the horse he backs win—he receive*, and states to hi* employers that ho 
could not 4 *get onshould the animal lose—of course he announces that 
he did lt put his customers on* 11 and request* they will furnish him with 
the funds to pay at the settling. This is ft very simple plan, and re* 
duces the daWnilejiffiiir of book-making to a process as pleasant as it 
is profitable, hut vve will leave these mysteries for realities amuriag— 
for the nonce—for Epsom is very English, albeit Less nice jn mat- 
tens of couacumca than might be <WredL. , The weather cm Tuesday was 
that of midsummer ■ and, full of the excitement caused by the mjmamvres 
of the previous afternoon at TatteimlTuvJiw sporting circles, par tre d- 
tence, took-Uteh »*y» fei Surrey. On Monday, at Hvdc Pork Comer, 
the startling announcement wut made public that Mr. Green H would not 
start any of his horses for the Derby except Shylock/’ Now, ns Swiss 
Boy had been at one time a better favourite in m * mar tut than Surplice, 
this was pretty news for the book-makers. How sorry we felt for them! 
The sport was but of *n ordinary character; a trifle to whet the 
appetite, as oysters precede the dinner of those who rightly understand 
gaatronoPhv. * It Opened, a* usual, with the Craven Stakes—half a dozen 
aurtare—<?ur the winner. The third wasBrocardo: alas I for the mighty 
fallen. The Wood cote, a two year old*? take somewhat thought of, brought 
seven to the post—won by Gmuca, a filly of Mr. Pace's i and this gave 
some pttMtfye to Glendowcr—for the morrow. The Manor Stakes pro¬ 
duced three heat*, whereof the Magnet won i wo; and, of course, got th e 
money. Then the Hootou Stakes ended, after four heats, in favour of 
Activity—a Imjt day's work, at the price. 

The Detibv Day— and the anniversary of heT gracious Majesty’s na¬ 
tivity to boot! Oh I iUBpidoua occasion ! surely thou shall he marked 
in the annab of oar laud with a white stone* The morning hrokc like 
a dawn of TcnqxS—cloudless, figure, fragrant, London was early astir, 
and May Fair at breakfast after a two hours’ couch! Alt the world 
was by noon on the hills of Surrey; all the habitable globe lmd it* re¬ 
presentatives there— 

Greeks , Roman*, Yankee-doodles, and Hindoo*. 

The Grand Stand, a pavilion to rejoice the soul (and stomach) of a Sy¬ 
barite, Vrtte filled to overflowing. There were chambers fitted with 
every' comfort and luxxiry—flowcrs—fruics—feast mgs—wines—ices-~ 
extacie*! Nothing amid exceed the perfection of it* arrangement, both 
within and with out. The ring on the lawn win* formed alumt one o'clock, 
by which time the hilt on ike opposite aide of the course WB8 one 
moaa of oquipage; while from the Peacock to Tottenham Corner 
the running-ground was lined fifty deep by pedestrians, eques¬ 
trian^ and carriages of various classes.' Betting was very wary. Those 
who felt they were ruined hart no more to do, nor others to do for them 
—they were already done. Some few tried to hedge j but of hacking 
homes outright nobody thought—nor did any one remind fiierib The 
hour for preparation was two o'clock, and with tho precision ora cliro- 
nometer the time was kept Then the saddling in front of the Stand 
began, and lb« fears and hope* of the spectators to ooze mL Seven¬ 
teen weighed, mounted, cantered tip the course and down, walked 
through the paddock to the post; and, as orderly ns cavalry on parade, 
when the Hag fell* they skimmed the green surface of the kill as swift

lull for the turn, where Surplice, Springy Jack, and Shylock began to 
run up; and inside the distance these three had putted Loadstone. At

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. 

HOUSE OF LOKDS.—Monday. 

The Scotch Peek ace — On tho mot tan of the Eorl of EGUNTorr* it w&* 
ordered that, Inasmuch ns a person atyling himself Lord Colvfll, of Ochiltree, 
had felled to moke out his claim to vote for Scotch representative peer* in re¬ 
spect of such title, his claim to do ao tic disallowed. 

The hfoliup of Lincoln, in reply to a intention from Earl Brownlow, entered 
into a statement, in answer to certain ob^rvattona attributed to Mr, Horamnn, 
in his late speech In the House of Common^ with reference to the Ltean and 
Chapter of Lincoln, unit to the destitution of certain of the clergy of that dlo- 
co«o* 

The Prevention of Smoke Ml passed through Committee, 

The report of the Foorhousos (Irelandj Bill was received. 

Increase or toe Narrow*!, Kxvekpituhe.—T he Earl of Er,LE?cetniocaii* 
Ln moving for some returns, drew attention to the progressive increase in the 
miscellaneous expenditure which ho* gone on during the last ton years. He 
enumerated the items upon which ho found the most reraarkablo augmentation 
of expense, and particularly pointed out the large sums ef money spent upon 
Buckingham Palace, the new Houses of Parliament* the Caledonian Canal, 
prisons convicts, general education, aria anti sciences, the British Mu¬ 
seum, flee., daring a jmrfod when the revenue of the country wna un¬ 
able to support the ordinary expenditure, The noble Earl said that 
ho had no hope that for several years to cocas our lucerne would In¬ 
crease j and therefore a strict attention to econo ny was the only way io show 
the people that the British constitution afforded than, not inly every desirable 
security and liberty, hut that it was compatible with a frugal and rigid economy, 
Thu wiki, in his opinion, no time for organic change; but it was the timu for 
postponing every expense not absolutely demanded for the interests of the 
country,—The Marquis of Lansjiowse remarked that Governments werc-not Lu 
general to blame for increased expenditure, hut both House! of Parliament and 
the public in generaE, because additional expenses were for the most pert forced 
on successive Governments by the Parliaments of the time being. He in¬ 
stanced the case of the improvements going ou in Buckingham Palace. When 
they were first proposed, ttlnUtcr.i were very severely censured for not building 
a new palace for her MuJ esty : and liad not her Majesty aud the Government re¬ 
sisted the wishes of the House of Commons, a much greater expenditure would 
have been incurred.—The Duke of Kicuwonh, alluding to the coat Of the volu* 
tnin ous returns ordered to be prepared for both Houses of Parliament, suggested 
that the price of each return eliouM in future bo marked OS the back of it ; that 
would show to what expense the country waa put by the economic members of 
the other House, After a few remarks from Lord Beaumont and the Earl of 
Uaudwicee, Uio returns were ordered, and their Lordahiji* adjourned* 

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—Monday* 

L ANrxsFiinc Election—L ord Coujltenav reported from the Lancashire 
Election Committee that Mr. R. A. Armstrong had been duly elected, 
QxrxrtTioNn ano Nonets.—Sir W. Somll villb, in reply to Colonel Connlly, 
stated that the fishing stations oil the ireat coast of Ireland had fully mi&wened 
the purpose for which They had been established. Inasmuch u tiicy liad been the 
Manns of simulating the exertion* of the fishermen,—Sir. Home, in reply to Sir 
1>. L, Evans, expresaed his detemnination not to ncccde to the request made of 
dividing his prepositions to be submitted thin day Into four distinct resolutions, 
p believing, as ho did, that no reform of the House of Conunuiu would be of any 
use unless the four propositions comprised In his motion were collecthely 
affirmed. If he obtained leave, os be trusted be should do, for bringing hi se¬ 
parate bills for carrying out [hoes objects, It would then be open to Bou. mem¬ 
bers to support such of them as they approved, and oppose those which 
they considered objectionable. He had well considered the subject before 
ho had given his notice. In the ease of the Stamford Borough Inquiry into 
the alleged unconstitutional interference of the Maquis of Exeter at recent 
elections, Mr. W. p. Wood, at the suggestion of Lord J* Russell, consented te 
leave the nomination of the committee in the hands of the General Committee of 
Selection.—Lord Palmerston, In reply to Mr. tiunkee and Mr. Ball lie, stated 
that notes had recently passed between Mr, Bulwer and the Unite of Strtoinuytir, 
as to how the paragraph which had appeared in the Cl&mor Publico, with refer¬ 
ence to his dispatch, had been obtained. The notea were rather of a personal 
and private character than of a public nature; but If he received any informa¬ 
tion by the next messenger which those notes tended to elucidate, he should 
. waive all considers!riems aa to privacy, and lay the whole of the correspondence 
on the table of the House,— Mr. \Y, 0, Goes moved for a Select Committee to 
consider the petition of John Delaney, complaining of certain proceedings for 
effecting a compromise in the case Of the Sligo election petitions. After some 
dkcasaion, the hon, member withdrew his motion, until the pending petitions 
against the recent return shall have been disponed of, 

Pphuc Health Bill.—T ha House wont again into Committee on the Public

HOUSE OF LQBDS.—‘Tuesday, 

Tub National Gallery.—L ord monte able moved that there be laid before 
the Hourb eoplea of correspondence between the trustee* of tire Mat io mil Gallery 
and the Lords of thu Treasury, respecting the gift made by Mr. Ventort to the 
public of hie collection of modern pictures and other works of art, Tho noble 
Lord safd tbo value of the splendid gift to the public of Mr. Vernon had been, 
if possible, enhanced by the manner in which the gift h d been mode; for he 
hud made over ibis u ugnlficunt collection of works of art to the public during 
his lifetime. He considered that such « donation from a private Individual to 
the public ought not to be passed over without some notice, Tire public, how¬ 
ever, were generally Indifferent to these gifts; and this conduct, he must stiy, 
afforded little encouragement to liberal persons of taste te make such Import¬ 
ant sacrifices. Thu National Gallory was principally composed of private do¬ 
nation*; the public purchases did not a moan t to more than one-third of tire 
whole collection. This was one proof of tire value of encouraging privates libe¬ 
rality in such * direction.—Lord Cqlaosne Raid, that, as a trustee of the Na¬ 
tional Gallery* Be was anxious to impress on the House the necessity of doing 
something in the matter in question, in order te complete the building, ejec¬ 
tions, ho was aware, might be made by her Majesty h a Government on the ground 
of expenss; but he wax of opinion that the country required it, and moreover 
that people who were so disposed did not give those pictures to the nation, be¬ 
cause at present there was no place te put them in.—The motion was then 
agreed to. 

The Parliamentary Proceeding* Bill passed through committee.—Adjourned. 

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—Tuesday. 

Enalub Diplomacy m Sr a is.—Mr. Bolwer.—I n reply te Mr, Bank os, Lord 
Falhebston said Ire had received a communication from Madrid, and he had to 
state that on tire 17th inatuuE Sir H* Bulwer had received his passports from the 
Spanish Government, and was about to leave Madrid. There had been wane cor¬ 
respondence, which Ire would lav upon the table on Thursday. In reply to n 
question from Mr* Anstoy. Lord Palheoston said that tho departure of Sir H. 
Bnlwer from Madrid did not arise from hi* having received any other appoint 
ment, nor from any rupture of the relations between the two countries. 

Lord G, Bentinck moved that the House at It* rising should adjourn until 
Thursday—Mr. Hums opposed the motion, A short dismission ensued,after 
which the House divided, and the motion wo* carried by a majority of 103 to 90. 

FOREIGN AND COLONIAL TRADE—SILK, TIMBER, fl&C. 

Lord G. BikTinoe moved for n number of returns relating te Canfullan 
timber, Mika (thrown and raw), cottons, woollens, watches of foreign manufac¬ 
ture, boots and shoes, &€. ills object In moving for these returns wm te prove 
that Mr. Gluda! one was altogetiiar Id errdf on a former evening In stating that 
his (Lord G. Bentiiick’s) information wiw founded on ommeotis data, and that. 
It! fact, hb whole statement on tire twearion referred to wom considerebly within 
the limit to which the facts would have allowed him to proceed in the arguments 
he had then advanced. In reference to the effects produced upon the silk trade 
by the reduction of the duties on foreign talks, tire nohJe Lord admitted it was 
true tiiat a temporary spurt hud made thlnp somewhat better 111 SpilulReids; 
hut tills, was to be attributed partly to the organic changes which had recently 
taken i lace In France, mid partly io ilia advjeo given to her Majesty- by Hie Lord 
Cluui-b r.ain, oad, ns It appeared, ndv^rso to the opinion of Irer Majesty’s Minis^ 
tors* ihat ladled should appear nt tl(u Drawingroom in dresses of homo manu¬ 
facture, thus kindly counteracting tonomo extent the misery in Hided upon Spltal- 
flfckls by the free-trade legislation of the lost few years, which had exposed our 
urtl&nut to a competition which they ennid not stand with Hit) foreign manu¬ 
facturer. In fact, Within the short period of four months foreign manufactured 
idlks had been imported Into this country. Hie value of which would have main¬ 
tained for u whole year ire less than G5,0QQ dirt uot mean to nscribe 

thb whole of this distress to free trade, but ho thought he bad shown suttJclent 
groundi for ascribing much of it to the changes which hod been made In tho i 
commercial policy of the country. 

Mr. (fLAOaToh-E said that Lord G. BuntSnck liad failed iu his attempt te prov* 
that the distress to which he bad referred was attributable te the legislation of 
which he complained. TUo noble Lord hud dealL largely In isolated facta, but 
would he hold lv com tnlt him self to some proposition which would enable the 
house to infer that he wax really of opinion that free trade would be the min of 
tho timber trade, or that any recent distress in that trade was to be attribated 
te any cliaugea In otw comuierclaHcgtshition, Ho could nu t admit that the pre- 
Kent distress in SpllalIleitis was attributable to free trade, for similar distress hud 
prevailed there In the palmiest days of protection. They should not forget, how- 
tivor, that they htul to legislate, not for Spltalfields, buu for the whole kingdom, 
and the general condition of tho silk mdu by tto means warranted the stelu- 
montB of tlie noble Lord. 

Mr. Newdloatk replied te the urguniouts of Mr. Gladstone, and strongly 
supported those of Lord Guoygo Beuttnek, 
blr G, Clere wok desirous thut the fullest Information should bo laid before 
the House ; for tliu mure tU attoiLUliu* was ea'Jed io the subject, and the better it 
Was uuficratood t the moru certain hb felt that Parliament; would .still sanction 
the principles upon which tho commorelat pulley uf Sir U. Feel was founded,

turns moved for, but must say that It must bo on tlm understanding that the 
Government could be in no way Tfiapouribfe for the correctness Of the Informa¬ 
tion which might in consequence be obtained. 

Mr. M. Hiss off deprecated the practice of ralringdlcfCUf^tons upon unopposed 
motions, and commented on the circumstance thut Lord G. Ben Hack had caused 
tho pohlponemeutof Mr. Humofe Important motion for Parliamentary reform, 
by rafolng a dihcuaMon un returue which could lead to nothing, 

Mr. IIkjslev wan surprised te hear the liou. geuMeman complain of the waste 
of time of the Hause, for lu funner years ho never tlibUght It a waato of time to 
return to the same subject again and again ami again, while. ho had a crotchet lu 
his head which be wished to we carried out. Surely he ought te allow the noble 
Lord to pureuc. In support of his opinions, Hie very course: which ho (Mr, 
Gibson) had himself pursued for so many years, until lie had obtained what he 
wanted. Ho might rely upun it the noble Lord would not be deterred from pur¬ 
suing die pofifM he thought right by any twaddle proceeding from tbu opposite 
side of tire House. 

Lord G-* BENTtscK replied, and said that he had no knowledge that hln motion 
waa not to bu oppastii until a short time before Mr. Gibson rose, and had, there¬ 
fore, good ground for retorting upon the hen, gentle man Die charge of waiting 
the time of the House. 

The motion w as then agreed to. 

PAHUAMENTARY REFORM, 

Mr, Hche postponed his mot ion for Iforlfomentary reform until the drat open 
day upon the becks, which wan the 20th day of June. 

Mr, F. O’Cojs sioa charged Mr. Hume with juggling duo people by postponing 
Ida motion, for, nitlreuglh It was past eleven ocloek, tlrera was time enough 
still to raimnencc the debate. Which might then bo adjourned. He would, for 
his own pan, henceforth bo no party to a proceeding which he could only regard 
as a mockery, a delusion, ami a snore. He moved dm tire house do adjourn, 

Mr. CoBiuiN thought Mr. Hume w tis entirely bhautfilEtaa In postponing tlie mo¬ 
tion, anil advised him, if lie vrivhed for success, not to be guided either by the 
Advice or the example of the hem. member for Nottingham. He had a 
lengthened knowledge of the Jion. gentleman, and he beJIered he Ited done more 
to prevent the working elmes from obtaining want they wanted, by the only 
means by which they could succeed, ttion any other public man hi this country 
had over done. 

Lord J. UodsnLL expressed bis belief that the mass of the working people 
neither wished for the plan of Mr. O’Connar nor far that of Mr. lfume. 

The motion for the adjournment of the limine was then vritiidrawn.

had taken place on the authority of tire Secretary for Ireland, the Attorney 
General, or the noble Lord at the head of tlie Government, who had so elo¬ 
quently denounced similar practices when pursued by a Government to which 
ho wua opposed. Of twelve Homan Catholics on the special Jury list, there had 
been eleven struck out, and the one left had been suffered to nsinstin becau>*ci he

IRELAND. 

IRISH CONFEDERATION, 

On Tuesday a meeting of the members of this body was held at throe o'clock, 
Lu Mr. Ennla'a great yard, Craufl street, te express their disapproval of the nn- 
eouctitiitianiti ami despotic practice of jury-packing for the purpose of securing 
the eonvJetton of political offenders In tills country. Tlie yard, which ta capable 
of accommodating 3(HJ0 pereons, was densely crowded in every part. In addition 
te the Confederate leaders, Messrs. W, 3. Obrien,Hesgher, J. Martin, O Gormao, 
fcd-i tise platform was occupied by many members of Cone motion-hall, Including 
Dr. Grey* Mr, J t H* Duuao, &c, Mr t J, H, Dilfeu, barrister, was in the choir. 

Tho Chairman stated the object of tho mcoting. They had assembled for the 
purpose .of protesting against tho “ base, bloody, and brutal '* practice of jury¬ 
packing. There were two menu togs attached to the mode of trial by jury Jn 
Ireland; the ono waa to view it in a theoretic sense, in which it meant a trial of 
a man by twelve men Impartially elected from his foliow-cltizeos. But there 
was another scow tu wiifch It must be viewed, and that waa the sense in which 
it bad always been applied by Die servant* of Hritfeh power against those who 
wore guilty of tho heinous crime of loving their country. (Cheers*) in the 
latter sen wo Jt m&mt tho selection of twelve of their bitterest enemies to try 
them* (Hisses.) Now, tlrey were the open and avowed enemies of tire British 
power in that country. (Loud cheera.) They naked no favour from tba agents 
of that power. (Cheers, J The Government officials Jutd a right to make use of 
all bold and open measures ogolnat them, however unconstitutional they might 
1 ms; bat they (the Confederates) had a right that they should not be stabbed in 
the dark. (Cheera*) They were prepared for the flash of tire sabre, but they 
wore uot prepared against the dagger of tho assassin. The speaker concluded 
by alluding to Mr. John MltcboU, calling on them to recollect that, however 
thoy might differ from him in some respects, he was still a prisoner for Ireland. 
(Cheera.) He only demanded that his Jury should not be peeked, ami that fie 
should be shown foJr play. (Cheers.) 

Mr, O'Gonnftn, junior, proposed tho following redoluttan \— 44 That while we 
are willing to Identify tills Confederation with all the opinions of Mr, John 
Mitchell, we recognise in him the fearlca» and devoted follow soldier iu the War 
which wo lira now waging against English oppression, Tim- ^ such wo demand 
tor him a fair trial befat'e n fairly selected Jury , and Ifthat demand be not coin* 
piled with, und he be convicted by n jmy selected for that purpose we pledca 
ottradvc* pi use all the means not Inconsistent with morality, to bring to nun la¬ 
ment ail the partita connected with the perpetration uf so foul a wrong" 
(Cheers.) Canted unanimously. 

Ur. Meagher ucict delivered his sentiments. Alluding to the coming trial of 
Mr. Mitchell, he .-‘aid, ho did most fervently assign to that individual the merit of 
the distinct Attitude which the Irish people had lately assumed. He was the more 
willing te make tills admission because there were some persons who believed 
that a rivalstdp existed between Mr. Ml to hell and other members of the Irish 
Confederation.. Ho would* however* nt once accord to him the merit of having 
freed the soul of the Irish nation from all tho doubts end prejudices which pret 
viously clung around It, and cramped, Its energies, and taught that new-born wtff 
te spring up and behold ouly one way to liberty—that way In which other nations 
having marched had left In every Instance a bright light in their track, tinged* no 
doubt, with a few diops of blood, but yet a path in which even angels themselves 
would not blush to tread. (Applause.) lie would therefore proclaim Mr. Mitchell 
to be an imprisoned apoatto of tho Gospel; and he believed that, as his enthu¬ 
siasm hod descended from Heaven* so from the same source would descend into 
hi a prison a power that would burst ita walls and restore him to hi* country 
(Cheers*) If, howerer* it was not amongst the decrees of Heaven that some 
miraculous Interference should take place in Ills behalf* still he believed that 
either there waa no God in Heaven, re that Justice would be done to him, (Cheers) 

If you do but wait the hour, 

There never yet was human power 
Which could evade, If unforgiven, 

The patient watch and vigils long 
Of him who treasures up a wraug. 

(Loud cheora.) Mr. Meagher concluded by proposing a resolution ogalnst tho 
practice of pack tag juries. 

The motion was seconded and carried. 

As tho meeting was separating tho Chairman stated that It was the desire of 
the Confederation that incuse Mr. Mlti hell waa convicted there should be no riot 
or disturbance made by tlie Confederates. 

Mu. Mitchell's Paper, the Untied Irishman, of Saturday last, contains an 
oddre-isof sympathy from one of tho Confederate clubs to Mrs. MitolieU, and 
that lady’s reply, In which she &hy»: — 11 1 feel deeply grateful to the metnbera 
of Lhe Dr. Doyle Club for ihelr most encouraging and hopeful address to mo. 1 
have the utmost trust and confidence Jn Their di.termination not re allow th&lr 
brother Confederate* John Mite hoi I, to leave this land iu a convict *hij>; und I 
feel assured— nay r 1 am quite ccmtn—tbut my husband will never disgrace 
tb&lr cans* or Ills own. I have not hitherto allowed any fc&rn I might feel for 
my chlldreitis safely or my own to Interfere with rimt line of poALy which iny 
husband thong]it it hD duty to pursue* and 1 do not intend to do so now. Rut 
lot me tell the Cimfederates of Dublin that I firnly touliovc thut to allow ary 
Confederate* no matter how hiftigiilflcnm the part ho may have taken In their 
cause* to leave Ireland In felon's fetters for tho advocacy of tludr cau*&, maiid 
he the most fatal uiodne»* and would but rivet tho chains more closely than 
ever, so that they would he unable to regain the noble position they now 
liotd, by all that they might my or do for liaif & century to come.” An¬ 
other part of the same journal contains a rather fiery specimen of " open 
and advised" writing from the pen of .Mr. Devin lteilly, Sir. Mtteheil'u 
partner* The article is headed ".Tho Man in Gaol for Ireland*” and tlie 
Object of the Writer is to draw a parallel in the cases of Mr, Mfteheh und 
the Ill-fated Lord Edward Eltagerald, Hu concludes in the following words 

Last November (here was growing fn Ireland (says one of Lord Clarendon's 
statists) ample food for 30,000,000 flf men—for two and one-haif times our popu¬ 
lation—and now that la gone; but one poor lialf of us lure one meal per them, 
und thousands ou thousands not even that. Yes, to live at all w« must lire in 
freedom; and there Is but one shape freedom can take amongst us—a republic. 
To that we arc all hastening under the ona impulse of nation*! preservation— 
some blindfolded, sonic stuttering Inarticulately, acme bombastically enough* 
some even wrestling hard with the power which drives them on—hut all to that, 
tny friends* however little they know' it. And into that glorious type of 
national power John Mitchell shall walk a free man frum his gaol* if by 
a jojy of his countrymen, titan m much the better; he sffaU have 
proved the truth on which he started, that English rule here U un¬ 
reality—a vile, horrid dream— a mere goblin of tlie sense—to which wc too 
long stupidly shrank submissive, thinking It * Govenunent,* and its airy 
mumblings * lawwhich needed but that one man should spit upon, and Lm^fi 
ar, to c^urdsc IE for ever. And If not by a jury* iliern by tho verdict uf &euio 
thousands of armed drinctia* ready to back tlio defiance ho will hurl from the 
felon’s dock—and by fltta of thousands throughout the land, wherever want 
has been* and tyinnuy. Never—oh! never again—shall tho faulta of ‘SB bring 
down the just tumd of an avenging God, Iu relgna of terror and tyranny* and 
famines, upon a people ungtatefill--upon men so bewildered or depraved* os not 
to know that *to ho bravo ta to bo truly wlae.’ ** Altogether, the United /ffrAmoj*

Tho Attorney-General having stated tost ho btd no objection to the Application 
of tho traverser's counsel, the Court appointed ten o'clock, Tuesday morning, 
for hearing tho arguments of counsel. 


JUDGE MOORE, 

On Tuesday, at the sitting of tho Court, Sir Colman O'Laghton, on tho part of 
the prisoner, moved to quash the Indictment; hut tho Court, without hearing 
tho Attorney-General ou the other side, refused the motion. 


to the Court, as a mutter of favour, to allow tho traverser nntll the following 
(this) morning to plead, Inasmuch os he Intended to apply to the Court to quash 
the Indictment nJtogether. 


ment read In open Court, tho Clerk of 
ment, which occupied nearly nn hour, 
to tho indictment, and was about to do 




Sir Colman O'Logbten then applied or liberty to demur to tho Indictment and 
plead over the felony, , , , _ , M „. 

The Court decided lluat If the demurrer wore to be argued, judgment of either 
guilty or not guilty should follow, ^ 

Sir Colman G'LogJilen naked for leave till Thursday morning to plead or 
demur. 

The Attorney-General opposed the application. 

Baron I.uftroy suggested, that If the prisoner would now plead and be at liberty 
to withdraw that plea and demur on the general ground, he thoughttberc could 
tie no objection on either side, _ ± . __ 

Counsel on both sides having assented, tho Clerk of tho Crown called upon, 
Mr. Mitchell, saying:—"Yoii*hava heard the indictment read, what say you, 
guilty or not guilty 

Mr. Mitchell.—Not guilty. * . . _ 

The Court then decided that tho traverser should have until 4 o'clock to with¬ 
draw Ids plea or proceed with demamsr. 

At four o’clock Sir Colman tVLoghlen requested on tho part of the prfooner 
that the plea of not guilty should not standi. 

It was deckled then that tho trial should toko place on Thursday morning. 

An application was made on Wednesday in tho Commission Court by Mrt 
Holmes, as counsel for Mr. Mitchell, to postpone this trial, on the ground of tha 
absence of a most material witness tor the defence. 

He stated it was also his client's intention to moTe by counsel to quash tha 
nrravln consequence of intonnattoii ho had received, to tho effect that the 
panel was prepared partially olid to the prejudice of Mr. Mitchell, In order to 
support this application, ho said Lt would bo necessary to examine a large num¬ 
ber of witnesses, and amongst others Mr, S. Monahan, whose evidence was 
most Important and indispensable. 

The Court desired tho matter to stand over until Thursday morning, when 
tho Attorney-General would be present.

THE OPERA OP H LINDA LI CHAM CUNT,” AT HER MAJESTY^ TILEATEE*—SCENE THE LAST. 


THE THEATRES* 

HER MAJESTY'S. 

The first representation of Donizetti's ■* Linda di ChASflOunL 1 ' pfodhCed fid 
Saturday night, was honoured with tire pre^enco of liar Majesty and Prince 
Albert, the Dachas* of Kent And the Duchess of Cambridge—ft graceful compli¬ 
ment bestowed on Madame Tadolinl, \he new Italian prima donna, and on Mr, 
Hooves, the great English tenor T “on th > occasion of their d&uti. The reception 
of these artufes «u most cordial, ths^of the tenor being qalte ovorwholining; 
they were encored several iimw billed tor at the end tsf every act; and nothing, 
In short, could surpass the fervour of the audience in thafr ovations. Thus 
much tor the historical portion of the evening's record: the critical analysis, 
whilst Acknowledging the hospitality and nationality so earnestly displayed in 
favour of Mnduna Tiulolhil and Mr. Reaves, has to scrutinise the respective 
claims to artistical distinction, 

Madame Tadolinl—for years the favoured vocalist of Italy and Germany—Is 
rather under the middle height, and Inclines strongly to embonpoint. Her face 
s very handsome, and her eyes remarkably expressive} but the rigidity of the 
features is opposed to the depicting of varied emotion. Her organ appears now 
to bo a meeac-soprano, the medium and lower tones of which are of excellent 
quality; but the notes of the upper octave are uncurtain, and exhibit signs of 
fatigue. The part of Linda was expressly composed for her by Donizetti, and 
Its vocal Attrlbutei) are well adapted for her voice. There is a brilliant polecat 
in tbo first act, M 0 luce dl quest* anlma,*' lodl of sparkling divisions; aud there 
1 b also on Impassion ad duo, “ Da quel di/' 

In the second act Linda 1ms a series of duets, beginning with cure with 
Pitroilo* the contralto j next with the Marquis ; then with tho tenor, Carlo 
(who was omitted); and finally with her father, Antonio, These duos exact 
much dramatic intensity, and the mad cavatina at the close a high order of his¬ 
trionic talent The scene In the third act, where Linda returns to her native vil¬ 
lage Insane, conducted by the faithful Pvrotio, and her reason is restored by tho 
lover Carte singing the strains of the duo in the first act, Is trying and difficult, 
Madame Tadolini proved that her high fame had been merited, as a charming 
vocalist; but in her acting she seemed to be cold sod conventional: thus, the re¬ 
cognition of tlie parents and a flier lover at the close of the opera was like that 


of saluting ordinary acquaintances. Instead of displaying highly wrought feelings 
of excitement. At the finale of tile opera she Introduced a bravura, by Rossi, 
of Milan, which she sung with considerable effect. When we take Into consider* 
fttioti the number of celebrated sin gent now In London, Madame TadoUnl can* 
not bo an ordinary rtrfute to have produced such an impression os on her ddbtd, 

Mr, Reeves's triumph was one of the greatest successes ever achieved on any 
boards: and yet ha appeared in a very disadvantageous part, for the music of 
It Visconti di Sored, who woo* Mtttfa under the name of Carta, may bo stated to 
be confined to the duo lu the first act, ** Da quel d!, 11 a weak romanza in the 
second, and an andante in the last act, Eia fine, powerful, and sympathetic 
voice, however, did not foil in its effect on the auditory. His romanoe 
"S6 tanto” was rapturously encored;'and his impassioned delivery of the “E la 
voce 1 ' In the concluding one was received with Reclamations. Mr. Reeves's 
principal fault Is the want of the raeim «Q& t - ha Is either singing pianisdtno 
when he Is often inaudible, or he strains for his favourite notes in alt /orfiwi™>. 
With more repose, refinement, and contrast bi his style, and with attention to 
the pure Italian accent, Mr. Reeves has hot few rivals on the Italian and French 
stage. 

ColcttTa beau (iftil voice and excellent method told powerfully in Antonio; his 
scene of the malediction, when he recognises his daughter Linda In Paris, as the 
supposed mistress of the Viscount, was finely depic ted. Lablache song the music 
of “11 Prefetto*' impressively. The tunyer, for five voices, sung without ac¬ 
companiment, was encored, owing chiefly to his artlsticnl skill and the beautiful 
tones of Reeves. Malle. Schwartz was too tamo and frigid in the exquisite part 
of the warm hearted Purotto; nor were tho various situations in the drama, re¬ 
lieved as they ought to have been by the humour of Frederick Lablachc in th 
Marquis, an admirable comic part, that might havo been allotted to Blllottl, and 
would have strong thenfl the cast amazingly. 

On Tuesday Right n Linda” was repeated, but without the presence of Mr. 
Reeves. We found at the doom tho following notice:— 

" Tuesday evening, five o’clock. 

u Mr, Reeves haring refused to sustain his part In “ Unda di Chamouni/' the 
Indulgence of tho subscribers and the public is rcapcctftilly entreated In favour of 
Signer Garden!, who at tho shortest .notice has, to prevent disappointment, most 
willingly undertaken the part” 


After the overture, Mr. Lee Como oh tho stage and made a speech to the above 
affect. Madame Tadnllni was received with great applause, as also Signor 
Gordon I, who acquitted himself creditably in the emergency. 

We understand that the secession of Sir. Reeves has arisen because the part 
of Edgatdo, In M Lucia," was promised to him by the management, and Imme¬ 
diately on learning that this character had been assigned to Signor GardenJ, Mr 
Reeves comil dered that his contract was at an end. Intimation to that effect was 
given on Monday last. 

On Thursday night, Donizetti's " Lucia" wsa produced, for the purpose a 
introducing Modi to. Jenny Lind in the diameter of the heroine. When the cur¬ 
tain rose there were loud cries of « Reeves” from the gallery and pit, which * 
however, ceased on the entrance of Colctti toeing tho opening sir of Enrico. Lind's 
appearance was the signal far several rounds of cheering. She gave the recitative 
11 Ancor non giunge ” with much akilJ, her sustained notes in the ,f rienJ tula 
veta” being very beautiful. Nothing could be more delicious than her vo¬ 
calisation in the largo; her series of shakes were splendidly executed in the 
c&bfllcttA, and her high notes tame out moat brilliantly. On Gardonl's com¬ 
ing on the stage os Eduardo, tho cries for Reeves were renewed, but the 
voice ol the syren Lind soothed the “savage breasts'' of the malcontents, 
and peace was soon restored, and the duo terminated with eclat. 

Th o great point of Lind, In the second act, was in the contract scene ; her 
shudder of horror after the fatal signature was a fine conception. Garden! wax 
encored In the malediction—injudiciously, as we think, since It drew forth dis¬ 
approbation from the Reeves party. Tire mad scone in the last act was the 
great attraction of tho opera; the nervous twitches of Und's face— her 
restless, uneasy action—her voice soaring in tho upper region, in wild 
strains of melancholy, constituted a charming picture; and she was twice 
called for at tho close to receive ovations. Gardonl’s physical force was not 
equal in the dramatic situation of the dying scene i but ho was summoned 
before the curtain at the end. 

The house was crowded to excess. The Queen Dowager and tho Duchea Of 
Kent were In the Roynl boxes, with a long array of Fashion. 

On Tuesday evening tho popular and evcr-welcome Cartotta Grid made her 
find appearance this season, after the opera, In the “ Pas des Rumens,” and was 
received with tho heartiest demonstrations of welcome. Ske^comes^bacfc with

OLYMPIC, 

Mr Spicer’s play 0f " The Lord* of ElHngMm," which has. we think, been 
before the public in ire printed form six or seven years, baa just been produced 
nt the Olympic Theatre, and to Judge from the applause with which 
It vrM received, with success- In construction it is very dramatic, re¬ 
sembling ape of ihe hlgh-pressur* Boulevard pieces to its action, which maybe 
termed for the most part toxiootcijriciil* Inasmuch as the heroine, Klith (Mrs. 
Mo watt), poisons herself; tho hero, Laimncu (Mr. G- V. Brooke), Is pruned by 
adlscarikdraiiwre^; nnd his cousin, LutfffMt Ciir- Davcnpt-il), is poisoned by 
Aartfrtfriey. All fltcae p^aonages tlsc, In udditlou to others; Indeed, the forclgo 
Kentloman who «t to tho pit when the English actors were hi Parts, and counted 
thtj doatiia to “ Hum let*’’ one ufeer nnotber, with lucreaalng astoidshmenr at 
each, might hare found equal matter for wonder, 

Tho story is too complicated to give In detail- The epoch chosen Is the com¬ 
mencement rtf fov seventeenth ecntttry* at the period of the Arabella Stuart 
comvpificv, which I* made available for sonio of Ehu pnrpo^cs of the drama, M- 
rftmer bring hirc^ tnt® the plot by Lawrenojr, and thou bettuyod by him, and 
suhsetiuanriy eraelty pereeeuted. 

The ploy Is not equal to Mr. Spicer's othitr acted productions, "Judge 
Jeffreys" and 41 Honesty,'’ It Is ton wire-drawn, ploying nearly four boura, 
from the old defect of using twenty wordm where one would bo mifflcicnt. 
The sentiment of the long speech Of Awerencp* lw which fie explains Ills hatred 

of Ltifymer* Itos toten compresred, to tiio " Wr^ck Ashore, ” into hulLa-doxen

MONETARY TRANSACTIONS OP THE WEEK. 

(From our City Correspondent.) 

The protcctiouiit theory, " th?it the home trafic of tho country la the sup¬ 
port elite manufactures,” Is likely to ha incouvenlcntiy tested Dmefa fram 
ahmafi. given previously to tlm comraenefiment of tha present unsettled stuto 
Of ei[ burs, are now tlaily couiiicrmarutcd, without any prabftblllty of tliclv t«lng 
required for an Indefinite period. This absence of demand, taken In connex¬ 
ion w lfih the immense increased cupdtlty of production attained within the laM 
few years* rentiers a ferge home trade Insufficient to afford employment for one 
half of the labour or capital that haa been latterly devoted to Industrial pur- 
suits. The state of the manufacturing districts otters a tnohn-'hDlj proof of the 
former,, while tho high price of Consols during Mich a period of Lurnpeiui dbKjr- 
gaiiizatiaffl correbarates the latter. Such a position ofaffnirs cannot be regarded 
wit] so nt dread, tho more particularly ns uo period, however remote, can ofi 
assigned for Ife termination* 

There was oonridorabLe firmneasi in tho English Market at opening on Monday, 
and the day paased with scarcely afiuemation Iti Coiwla, whicii quoted M\ to 
1 at the close, TnesftayV Market opened with mueJt baoyancy, and Consols ad* 
vanccd to 84J, hut* hticr in tho day, the news of our Mini tier having heeti 
peremptorily orifeied to quit Madrid within forty-eight hours, caused an Im* 
mfffiiiito reaction* and ttio closing price was 84. Nor did the tenor Or nednes- 
fiayfe nows from Austria tend to Improve the fed I ng of uncertainty that haul 
previously cxiatefi. Consols declined fo Sfij £ during the day, but afterwards 
dosed at tH, On Thursday,however* there was more steadiness. Consols opening 
lit *U. afterwards receding lo *Land uliininfely quoting &4* to i* Exchequer 
lltlls liavi 1 been on rather less demand; and tho Jiiuc blltsiu* about ti. lowor, 1 he 
lmposEjibiiSty of finding temporary employment for capital Is the princitml cause 
of tho price of Consol k, to which* perhaps, may lio added the shortening of the 
Inten’iih lust ween the account days* thud Increasing the risk of heavy Marm# 
eporations* At tho c&OHj of the wb*V the market wna steady, at the following 
quotations j—Bguk Stock, m; It educed, Three per Cent Connois An¬

The Share Market has been tolerably Arm during tho week, 'out there \a no 
linticfttlnn of tort he, improvement. Growing djESat Infection Uf evinced at the 
ittiil^posltinu of directions of established tines to close the capital account, and. 
Tttia tends materially to aflTect the value Of the stock In the market. Shares In

possible to over-estimate the importance* The sanatory improve¬ 
ment of large towns is a question as interesting to the rich as to 
the poor, Jf the poor lira in filth and miseij, and fever be engen¬ 
dered from the union of that prolific pair, the poor arc not the only 
mfierers. The vitiation of the air that begins in the hovels of the 
humble spreads to the palaces of the proud. The malaria that de¬ 
cimates the population in the over-crowded dwellings of the needy 
tabes a tithe in the abodes of the wealthy. The well-being of one 
portion of society is intimately connected with the well-being of 
all, so that no class can be independent of the sufferings of another. 
This truth is confessed. The rich and the powerful have not shown 
an indifference to the question, but, on the contrary, have taken 
much interest in it. We are convinced that all classes, high and 
low, would have cordially supported the Government in a measure 
that would have been effected without being arbitrary, and that 
would have secured due central control without annihilating the 
local and municipal management, to which the people are accus¬ 
tomed, and which enters so intimately into the spirit of our institu¬ 
tions. 

We do not join the outcry against “ Centralisation”— an out¬ 
cry in which many persons take part who are ignorant of what is 
meant by it. Centralisation is considered in the light of some ter¬ 
rible and vague evil; something despotic, as well as Incompre¬ 
hensible ; dreadful, and not to be defined j aud totally subv'erstve of 
the free-agency to which we have been accustomed. Much of the 
odium heaped upon Lord Morpeth and his coadjutors In the task 
of Sanatory Reform lias had its origin in this feeling. Yet we 
think, without agreeing with those who aro always clying out 
against Centralisation, and making a bugaboo of the word to scare 
the unthinking, that there is a limit to it which it is not prudent 
and desirable to overstep. Local management should not he en¬ 
tirely fettered by a Board sitting at a distance. It is sufficient that i 
local management should be responsible to a central authority for

EXHIBITION or THE ROYAL ACADE>EY.— 1l ‘X4lB DEATH BED OF ROBERT, KING OF NAPLES.' 1 —FAULTED BY A. 


THE HEALTH OF TOWNS. 

Lord MoitFETfi'B bill for the Improvement of the Sanatory Condi¬ 
tion of Towns has got into Committee of the House, but it seems to 
be doubtful whether any real progress will he made with it this session. 
As a measure it is very obviously incomplete. Id an ago which has 
been called, not inaptly, the age of great cities/' a hill has been in¬ 
troduced into Parliament, after a grand preliminary flourish of 
trumpets, to provide for the better drainage* ventilation, and general 
health of the great cities and towns of the empire ; but London, 
the metropolis, and Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Dublin, the three 
next largest cities, have been omitted, with all tho towns of Scotland 
and Ireland, from its operations! This is odd enough as a com¬ 
mencement ; and the only excuse offered for the omission is as odd 
as the fact itself. London and the metropolitan boroughs are too 
mighty to be included in any bill. They must have a bill of their own* 
Scotland and Ireland are in precisely the same condition, being too 
important to be governed by the same act as that which shall govern 
the greater and more important division of tho Empire, which goes 
by the name of England. The truth is, that Lord Morpeth has not 
courage and energy enough to grapple with the local interests that 
may be injuriously aflheted by the operations of a general measure. 
He tries his 'prentice Iiand upon the small cities and towns ; re¬ 
serving the larger ones for a future opportunity, when he shall have 
acquired more skill, and when he shall be better infracted in the 
necessary w orkmanship. In the meantime opposition bos arisen in 
various quarters, The towns to be affected aro in arms against it; i 
and the towns and cities not immediately menaced join the oppo¬ 
sition, in the hop® that if they succeed in defeating the partial 
measure, the whole question may he adjourned indefinitely. 

For our own ports we cannot bnt regret that Lord Morpeth and 
the sanatory reformers did not bring forward a complete measure 
which, without interfering too much, or in any way unjustly, with 
ocal management, would have secured an object of which it is ixn- 


errors or neglect of duty. It is not fitting that local management 
should be entirely superseded. To its alleged defects in this parti¬ 
cular the measure owes much of the opposition it has excited; and 
if, even at this advanced period of the session, tlie Government 
would boldly meet the two great and only real objections to Lord 
Morpeth's bill by extending it to London, the metropolitan borough# 
and to Scotland and Ireland, and affirm the principle of local ma¬ 
nagement, subject to central control, they would rally around them 
so vast an amount of support from all ranks and conditions of the 
people, os to render certain their success in carrying it. 

There ore various matters of the utmost importance to the well¬ 
being of the community which centralism must originate, before 
localism can administer. Sanatory Reform is one of them* 
Occupied in the exclusive pursuit of wealth—each individual for 
himself—the pursuit of the public health has never been tho 
business of society. People have swarmed into towns in the 
search for employment, and have been huddled together at the 
cheapest rate. The increase of the general wealth has hut in* 
creased this particular evil. As long as the traffic of the town was 
duly cared For, and no obstruction existed to the thoroughfare, the 
least possible attention was paid in any place to drainage and 
cleanliness. There are thousands and ten# of thousands of people in 
all onr large towns who have no idea of the benefit* from which they 
arc shut out, in being deprived of fresh air and freah water. 
There are thousands and tens of thousands who were bom in filth 
and live in filth, without a knowledge of the blessings of clean¬ 
liness. Unaided and undirected localism can do nothing* for such 
people os those. It has neither the means nor the authority for 
reforms and alteration# so extensive as would bo required to drain 
a whole parish, and build houses where the essentials of health aud 
the decencies of dviliaattoii might be placed within the reach ot 
the poorest of the population. It requires more power than they 
possess to demolish the old dwellings—more money than they can

command to construct the new. A national system, directed by a 
central authority, is absolutely necessary to net in motion the local 
machinery which would be adequate to the task of effectually 
improving the sanatory state of London, Manchester, Leeds, bm\* 
field, Birmingham, Bristol, Merthyr, Cork, Dublin, Limerick, 
Glasgow, Paisley, Edinburgh, Dundee, and such busy conglomera¬ 
tions of the people as exist in them* No local etlort could be 
entrusted with a task so utterly beyond its power. Parliament, 
which is itself a centralisation* must delegate authority for tins 
purpose to some other central body, before a reasonable hope of 
success can be entertained. Such n central body should aid mid 
strengthen, not supersede atid destroy local agency, If it did 
no more than this, the foolish outcry against centralisation as 
being “un-English,” would die out, and people would acknowledge 
that a Board °of Health was as necessary as a Board of Pnvy 
Council, a War Office, an Admiralty, a Court of Chancery, or a 
House of Commons j and that one was no more “ un-English 

than the other* , . ■*. 

Por our parts, without adopting the silly word, we think taut it 
centralisation* meaning thereby central control, be 11 tm*Bnghsh, 
that filth is “ un-Enghsh ” fever 44 un-English,” and the gg?™ 
and moral debasement of a teeming population mill more decidedly 
“ un-English*" There are many things 41 un-English p having 
reference to the sanatory condition of the people which it would 
be very much for the advantage of the English to introduce. A 
tax upon windows is an exclusively English tax, which is‘ex¬ 
tremely prejudicial to the public health* It would be very desir¬ 
able if the Government could do without it, and give us an “ un- 
English n exemption from its operation* The excise duty upon 
soap is also a very English impost, which is highly prejudicial to 
the public health* We should be very grateful to the Minister 
who would relieve the people of it* although Lord Granby per¬ 
haps might object to the relief as being quite as un-English as cen¬ 
tralisation. The truth with regard to this measure seems to be, 
that the Government have been too careful of vested interests in 
some influential places, like London, and too careless of them 
in ether quarters, where no such powerful opposition was to have 
been feared? and that in steering timidly a middle course, they 
have offended both parties. Lord Morpeth is an amiable Mi¬ 
nister j but in such a question as the Health of Towns, a bold and 
strong baud is required* The reform desired must be as vast its 
the evil that rendered it necessary'; but honesty of purpose, and 
firm determination, would enable a Minister to cany a plan much 
vaster, were it but wise and well considered,

An attempt was made in one of too first sittings of the National Assembly to

that tho Assembly elect directly* and by ballot, thfi Ministers of the Nino Le-

ITALIAN STATES, 

LGMUAiinr—'O h* trows this week from the seat of war la of a mope encourag¬ 
ing nature for the Italians than that hitherto published. Up to the 3$t instant 
Feschlera had not bean reduced* nor any nloge operations commenced against 
Verona, but a large body of the Piedmontese* neArly 30,000 men, commanded 
bytho King fa person, had driven the Austrians from all the points between 
VaUeglo on the Mlncio* and Ftmtone on the North Adige* above Verona, and 
established themselves so its to cut off the communication between Peschlera and 
Verona, and probably with the Tyrol by the line of that river. The Austrians 
were driven on the 4&th tilt., after some res! stance, but no regular battle* from all 
tho points up to the viliage of Bmsolengo, and Charles Albert established on 
the 30th his head-quarters there. The King then pr.-iceeded to make prepare- i 
tkma to attack Poutouc* where the only bridge over the Adige, north of Ve¬ 
rona, h etohifehed. Several small contents had token place* but none deserving 
the nunm of a regntar engagement. The Fladmontese were la ovoty Instance 
successful* All tile Italian soldier:? sent out of Verona desert. 

Bussolehgo, in the occupation of tho Austrians* hud been successfully attacked 
by the King'S troops, and the enemy driven witli loss across the Adige, 

During Use enzaffement, the King wus under the necessity Of drawing ids 
sword to defend hlimrolf* sonro of the enemy's troops having advanced to within 
three hundred yards oHiis head-quarters, The Austrians were eoimruuuted by 
the Archduke Skusmund* son of tod Viceroy, This victory ban cut off the re~ 
treat of the enemy from the Tyrol, and deprives him of all hope of receiving 
ftyelBtunco frem that side. In the action thu Austrians last 200 killed* 500 pri¬ 
soners* and 100 homes. captured. 

The Austrian garrison of Mantua was Ln considerable want of provisions* and 
particularly of salt. The men were obliged to season their soup With gunpowder* 
which btul caused much sickness amongst them, 

Koi*e—O n the 1st Inst, an insurrection ary movement took places at Rome, In 
consequence of its being generally understood Ln that city that the Pope had re¬ 
fused to declare war against Austria. One of the exciting causes of the move¬ 
ment arose out of the conduct of Marshal Radetski, the commander of the Aus¬ 
trians in Lombardy, who, taking atl van logo of the Pope not having declared war 
officially again*t Austria, had idiot soma itomnn volunteers whom he had cap¬ 
tured. A painter* named Call!* who was much beloved, and was* esteem dy po¬ 
pular in Rome, was found imaging from a tree, with a paper attached to hisilcud 
body* on which was written* ** Such Is tho manner Jn which the Cruaaders of 
Plus IX. are treated. 1 * When this fact become known at Rome* the indignation 
of the population was raised to the highest pitch. It wo* proposed to proceed to 
the residence of Count Lutioff* the Austrian Ambassador * and to take signal 
vengeance on hi* person ; but he w as forianately spared* In consequence of his 
amiable character* and of Ills endeavours to reconcile tho Austrian Government 
with the Holy See* 

U was said that the Austrian Government* in conjunction with tho JemlK 
had concerted a calml* in consequence of which all tlie German Bishops menaced 
the Pope with a schism if he declared war a gainst Austria. At all events tlie 
Unman people allowed Hits Pope the whole of the 30th ult, to reconsider Ills d^ 
formitjailon, mid aa early ns five o'clock a.sj, on tho 1 st instant they were on 
foot* awaiting, with the utmost anxiety* the reply of his Holiness. On’ that day* 
accm-illugly. It wan uwcertaipert that the Pope bad yielded to the persuasions of 
the patriot Muuriani, who announced to the people that dm .Ministers remained, 
oseept Cardinal AnTotiOlU* replaced by Mauri uni film rself. It was also stated t 
that the Ministers wore to po&cah full power over all temporal affairs, com prising 
the question uf war. All the private corfifopaintencc of the Card fools, which hod 
baen edxetl, waa read to the public, cm tho Capitol, by a Senator, Man riant* '

Commander of the Fort of Ancona. The Romans were i^rfettiy united, and 
the Cardinals were gathering round Tho Pope whuii they saw that bis departure 
was Impossible* for which they had made every preparation* The Ministers pro¬ 
mised to press the war* and m cooperate with thb Other powers of the State to

Lord Stanley brought under consideration the corrtspondenca relative, to the

HOUSE OF LOKDS*^Tuesday. 

Provident Aa-v.H’r attOnh Fuaun-FiEVESTiON Brat,—Lord Beatmost 
movotl the second reading of this hill. After giving the history of tlie Odd Fol¬ 
lows, tlie Fercstersj and other irimiLar sodeUc^ which eOdrlic^ had. been de¬ 
clared lllegrii ns coming within the provisions of tho Act «f the -I.Uh Goo. III., 
c. 7fi* the uuhle Lord argued at some length that, as they were partly of a cha¬ 
rt table character, they ought to be put on tlie $»luu footing os nil those societfed 
which fall within the provisions of the Benefit Societies Act, At present their 
surplus funds were invested in the names of Individual* as tniatcct, ax the 
■octette* could not make investment* in their own name*. That wm 
an ovU which ought to be remedied. One of Die dMUes of the hill 
would provide That the tables of these societies should ha constructed 
upon a just and proper principle; and he thought that nothing 
could be of more advantage, to tbe country to general itian for tho Go¬ 
vernment to call together three or font of the most eminent actuaries* and upoa 
their calculations frame one standard table for all description* of fiierdly so¬ 
cieties. These Institutions were of conslderabte value to the nation, inasmuch as 
they tended to create and fester a gtHjtl feeling amongst the people who bdbngcd 
to them, and united in the carrying out of charitable end friendly objects Indi¬ 
viduals of various classes and ceilings to tho community. In considering 
tile hill he trusted their Lordship* would remember that those persons had 
approached this llouw to a manner the most respectful; that they lied availed 
th one; elves of the constitution si right of petition ; that they liad shown the ut 
most attachment for the law nud tlie constitution; and they HOW come to their 
Lordships simply to ask that security should bo given for tlie funds which they 
themselves had contributed out of their earnings to provide ter their com¬ 
fort In old ago. He begged to move that the MIL be read a second time.—’The 
Marquis of Lansdownb had not the least objection to grant to these societies 
such an amount of relief as might with, safety be granted them ; but he could 
not concur with his noble friend in tho extent to which he proposed that hia bill 
should go. If tho measure wore to pass to it* presom aliupe, in every part of 
the kingdom* including Ireland, corresponding societies, mid societies commonI- 
cutingby fiigris, might be established* and under eireumstanrc.-i id which it would 
then be extremely difficult lo ascertain whether they were kept Within those le¬ 
gitimate object* which undoubtedly they would profess, but wbk h it wibdlff be very 
difficult to secure. In giving tits assent to the second reading of tiro hill, there tore, 
he went no further with Ita principle than tho desire to seo those societies* which 
had certain claims upon their Lordships* provided with a remedy, if one could 
be found that was safe and pfiacti*mb1e^“Lord BaxuaroKT would do ail that lie 
could in committee in order to meet tho views of tlie noble Marquis and tho 
Government.—'The hill was then read a second time. 

The Bishop of Llanpafp postponed until Tuesday next the motion of which 
he had given notice, tor an address to tho Queen, praying her to consent to tiro 
Introduction of a bill for limiting tho time during which uliuroh benefices in the 
gift of tiro crown may bo kept vacant.—Adjourned.

tho immediate vicinity of Westminster Abbey a malignant description of typhus 
or something like typhus fever, had broken out. and was re ported to bo traceable 
to certain chemical expcrluiOnta which had been recently made on Tho drains in 
tho neighbourhood* with tiro view of deodorising tho pobonous emanatlona from 
the drains. He had some refiami to think tiiat too much reliance had been 
placed on the recent Invention for clarifying Or deodorising fetid matter. Not 
long ago* an engineer, who was examined before a committee of that Houmi, offered 
to sweeten and clarify a quantity of drain water. Ha made the experiment* and 
produced water which luad such a clear and agreeable appearance, that a gal¬ 
lant, admiral {Sir E. Owen) volunteered Tu drink a gloxaofR. He did oo, and 
he found the clarified water acted as an instantaneous emetic. (Loud laugh tor.)— 
Viscount MottPETB replied tliora was some foundation for thu ^statement of the 
lion, member. A considerable amount of fever, lie had reason to believe* pre¬ 
vailed to Westminster, In the precincts uf the abbey. The trowetogo of West- 
minster was also to a very defective atate* and some drains lind been opened, 
hut ho had been unable to trace any connexion between the fever add the open¬

such an order had been Issued* but It emanated ftom the office of the Lord 
Chamberlain*—Mr. BklOiiT* and other free-traders, condemned tiro police of 
issuing such an order, os calculated to give offence to France* where It would be

ME. RU$SEI*L*S NEW MANSION, PARK-EANE, 

This highly embellished Edition to the Street Architecture of the Metropolis is 
now being finished for Charles Russell, Esq., at No, 19, Park-lamb from the do- 
signs of Mr. W, R„ Moffett, architect, % Spring-gmdens, It U in the later per¬ 
pendicular stylo of Gothic; and we are glad to be able to speak fovourably « 
the mate and ability displayed in the composition. Although the frontage Is 
narrow—not more than from twenty to twenty *flve feet—the design is extremely 
pl pjyortg j and dearly proves that on artistic- mind can atari beauties out of diffl- 


Hu, KUSSEI^'S NEW MANSION, FARE-LANE. 

cnltlea The noble oriel which occupies the first end second floors stands 
out boldly upon a carved corbel, finely proportioned and elaborate In de* 
tail indeed, the greatest care Appears to have been bestowed upon the 
whole front, so as to produce an unity of composition combined with a pleasing 
and picturesque effect. How different this la from the Cndhsaa Iron ratling, two 
windows and a door styleofstreetarchUectunJ: and how different, sl^, from many 
htoldlnira of much greater pretensions, where immense stums hare been lavished, 
bntsatisfactory* Wc often sec w attempt

^^^tbS^Zfthcwealthiencltyjn the world,!to > MjW m^Y a 
thtoJ^rtScontlnental town in the beauty and style of itastre&t ^Riwtorc. 

The interior Is alike meritorious. As we enter the hall, we hve■ _ 
through the archway of a massive stone staircase, elaborately wrought aad 
SrvAaTina foliated terminations to tbo newels, and flowing enriched tracery 


for the balustrades. We tune informed that the 
staircase window Is to be filled with stained giasa 
in the bert stylo, with heraldic shields and appro* 
print® devices, which will, no doubt, have n gor¬ 
geous effect. The suite of rooms on the first 
floor consists of the drawing-room, picture-gal¬ 
lery, and dining-room. The roof Of the latter is 
entirely of solid wood, beautifully wrought and 
carved; and the celling of the drawing-room Is of 
plaster, with foliated points to the cubing, and 
elegant Gothic enrichments to the cornice. The 
Oriel is not only a beautiful object In itedf, but It 
rW> possesses the advantage of giving an addi¬ 
tional space of ten feet by five feet to the room, 
as well aa to the library above; and tills we think 
a matter of importance, where every Inch of 
space is valuable. The whole of the interior fs 
carried out In the same style and spirit as Die ex¬ 
terior* the greatest attention having been paid te 
convenience, arrangement, worming, and venti¬ 
lating; and the building is rendered thoraiigbly 
fimHproof. The forms, combinations, moulding*, 
and other details t«re beautifully executed i yet 
we understand that the building is much iraa 
costly than might be imagined from the richness 
nf its appearance. 7'he Clerk of the works, Mr. 
John Jones (JVrf/idurrn J, and the builder, Mr. John 
Kelk, of South-street, have ably seconded the 
architect. The work throughout is substantially 
and beautifully done, and the most careful finish 
has been bestowed on all the carvings and eu- 
richments. rm* __ 

^S-rajUlt - COMKONEGATION WITH AUSTRALIA,— 

Pacfllty and quickness of dmunaunicjatlon with the 
Important colonies of Australia have of late years 
much engrossed public attention, and the subject 
Is one of great interest. We subjoin the report 
of the Hydrograpber of the Admiralty, founded 
on which the route through Torres Straits bos 
been sanctioned by the Lords of the Admiralty 
for large steamers conveying the mails to those 
colonies:—" It is now acknowledged by every one 
that a direct Intercourse by steam between England 
and that group of colonies of which Sydney Is the 
centre, would in ft short time double her capital, 
hor population, and her produce, and the only 
Questions are, which will be the beat line to cany 
it, and how It dm be most economically main¬ 
tained? Three-fourths of the whole distance ore 
already performed by the H<mg-Kong mail t® 
Singapore, and if the Sydney malts were to branch 
off from that port, and take the eastern line by 
Batavia and the Torres Straits, they would 
traverse smooth water ww, whore a passage Is 
certain at all seasons, they would at once super¬ 
sede the steamer which the Dutch now run from 
Java to meet Our pockets, and they would like*- 
frisB produce direct conuntmlcatton between Aus¬ 
tralia and China, u w&ti as the three presidencies 
of India, which would be as beneficial to all those 
places as lucrative to the carriers. From Sydney 
the mails would be forwarded to the neighbour¬ 
ing settlements without de:ay, as there Is a regular 
overland post to Melbourne, and another from 
thence to Adelaide, Steamers new ply regularly 
between Sydney and Port Mttfr and Launceston* 
and easy contracts might bo made for the further¬ 
ance of the moil5 to Swan River and New Zealand, 
"Whereas by the scheme proposed tn Sir, Sharpe's 
and the ether letters, the steam-vessels from the 
day they quitted Point de Gnlle would avoid all 
collateral aid In feeding thdr Hue, they would 
hare to run direct for those miserable coral reefs 
called the Keeling* or Cocos, which can scarcely 
be said to be Inhabited, and which are so low uud 
small that there would bo a constant difficulty in 
finding them, and where the continual surf would 
moth impede the btiainflsji of coaling. From thence 
to Australia they would crow an open ocean, 
where the heavy western swell Is notorious, and 
peculiarly uusuited to steam navigation, and 
throughout which they would, during the winter 
season, be sure of tempestuous weather; and, 
flaally, by this process, Sydney, the seat of Govern¬ 
ment, would be the last place to receive her 
Majesty** mails. If, therefore, Government is in¬ 
clined to make any sacrifice in favour of those 
thriving and Important settlements, by facilitating 
their rapid communication with the mother 
country, I would urge their lordships to recom¬ 
mend that it should be effected by a sufficient 
number of steam-vessels, of competent power, and 
by the Singapore, and Batavian route. (Signed)

whom the first wave of the revolutionary 
tide tlrrurt forward in February last, we 
this week give those of some of the mom 
prominent characters that have since 
appeared. 

rawoti* 

Ferdinand Flocon Is one Of theses who, 
immediately after the events of the 24th 
Of February, became a member of tho 
Provisional Government, In the capacity 
of one of its secretaries. He was one of 
tho violent ultra-minority, and a parti¬ 
san of M. Led ru-RoUln* whoso ambitious 
designs and anarchical views he aided 
and abetted as far as his subordinate ca¬ 
pacity admitted of. M* Flocon was for¬ 
merly, and it Is understood is still, tho 
editor of the Reforms newspaper, which 
Is the unflinching advocate of JI* Ledru- 
RoUln’s policy. 

At BEET [OtTVBIEB)* 

M. Albert was also a member of the 
Provisional Government, in which he 
filled the office Of YicO-Froaldom of tho 
Industrial Commission of Workmen for 
tho Rc-organisation of Labour, which, 
sitting Id the ex-Chamber of Peon at 
tho Luxembourg Palace, under the Pre¬ 
sidency of that visionary enthusiast. 
Louis Blanc, endeavoured to reduce to 
a practical system the Communist view* 
mid opinions of that mistaken but well- 
meaning gentleman. Their exertion* 
have ended, as was, of course, all along 
expected. In complete failitre ; and, on 
Tuesday, In the National Assembly, SL 
Blanc announced the resignation of both 
his colleague (Albert) and himself, and 
their intention or not resuming their 
impracticable task* 

Albert, who on the formation of the 
Provisional Government was ostentati¬ 
ously mentioned as being a workman 
(outrier) and the representative of men 
of his condition in the Government, is 
said to have been foreman in a factory 
In the Faubourg St. Antoine i other ac¬ 
counts represent him os tho proprietor 
of a small factory In the same quarter 01 
the city* He la a native of Lyons, In 
which town he was formerly chief of the 
Jfactete cfcj Droits tie PHomme, anil In th 
year 1834, ho attempted, but in vain, to 
restrain tho insurrection which broke 
out thens, with a view to its being re¬ 
tarded for a time, only the better to 
secure lu success* Since that period he 
has been a most active Republican, and 
has endured prosecution and Imprison¬ 
ment for participation in tho Republican 
schemes aud conspiracies. 

LACO&DAlftt. Z^Z 

Of tills extraordinary man we have already given a memoir and portrait, re¬ 
markable for the excellence of the likeness, m our Number of April lb. 

Wo have only to add to that notice, that ha has since been elected a member 
of the National Assembly, In which he took his neat on the day it was opened 
last weak, and excited not a little attention, by his being clothed on that 
occasion in the white robe of the Dominican Order of Friars Freaehers, just aa 
if be were about to enter the pulpit of the Church, rather than the tribune of 
Legislature. 

LiSLENNAIi. 

The Abbd do Lamennais Is a native of the old province of Brittany,, and is 
not more remarkable for genius, eloquence, and learning, thou ho Is for a 
proud and violent disposition and most visionary views in politics. He was 
formerly a working member of the Roman Catholic clergy of France t and, in 
conjunction with M. Lacordalro, edited a journal called L’Aremr, which advo¬ 
cated very extreme views socially aud politically; bur, his writings having been 
condemned by the Pope, he refused to bend to the decision, and seceded from 


Tjmas&AY, the 4th In riant, being the 
day fixed ter the opening of tha National 
Assembly, the rappel beat at an early 
hour, end tho Nation nl Guards soon 
afterwards assembled at their respective 
places of rendezvous. At eleven o'clock, 
all the battalions had assumed the sta¬ 
tions assigned to them, and round the 
Palace of the Assembly, The first bat¬ 
talion of the Garde Mobile was d rawn up 
In front of the Palace, and on the side* 
were stationed detachment* of the troops 
of the line, mixed with the National 
Guards, The cavalry occupied the Es¬ 
planade of the Invalids* and the Champa 
KLysdes. The entire force under arms 
waa estimated at about 35,000 men* The 
crowd assembled oti the Place de la Con¬ 
corde aud In tho neighbourhood of the 
palace wo* considerable. The btauf« 
were In a gre&E majority, but their atti¬ 
tude was perfectly inoffensive 

THE PROCESSION, 

The appearance of the street* resem¬ 
bled that on a fete day, with the addition 
of a grand military festival. 

At half-past twelve o'clock, the Na¬ 
tional Guards shouldered arms* and, at 
ft quarter to one, the members of the 
Provisional Government Issued from the 
Hotel of the Ministry of Justice, in the 
Place VcndOmc, and proceeded on foot 
to the Chamber of Representatives, pro* 
ceded and followed by a grand military 
escort. They were everywhere rec elveu 
with testimonies of respect and popu¬ 
larity, Our artist has depleted this bn- 
presrive scone on the previous page. 

Looking from the Church of the Ma¬ 
deleine, at the moment when tho eoriige 
had reached the Place do la Revolution* 
the whole of the distance displayed 
little else than a surface of red tuffs 
{pompons) imd bayonet*, except where 
acme of the legions had inserted Into 
their moskets Little tri-colour flags, 

Which* waving in the air, gave to tho 
scene an animation it would otherwise 
have wanted. 

The cortrfft bad scarcely passed tho 
Bridge of the Revolution in front of tho 
Chamber, when the National Guards be¬ 
gan to express disappointment, They 
hod flattered themselves with the idea 
that the whole HOC representatives of the 
nation were to pass before them. 

THE HALL OF ASSEMBLY* 

The edifice specially constructed for 
the Assembly occupies the centre of tho 
Court of the Palace or the Chamber of 
Deputies, with which it communicates 
by two glazed galleries. It has been 
built with extraordinary rapidity, so 
that there wax little ti me for the choice 
of the design ; and that adopted presents 
a striking contrast with the solidity of 

the surrounding structures. The facade Ls plain, even to meanness; and tho

LONDON, SATURDAY . MAY 13, 1848, 

The French Provisional Government has rendered an account of 
its stewardship to the National Assembly, Its acta have been 
warmly criticised in this country. The exirfiorillnary and unpa¬ 
ralleled cimmistnncea out of which the Government arose—the 
immense difficulties it had to encounter—the firmness and boldness 
on the one Hand, the wisdom and caution’ on the other, which 
were imperatively required from it, that it might steer w ith even 
moderate success through perils the greatest that could menace a 
nation, hardly received from our public writers the fair and im¬ 
partial consideration to which they were entitled. There was a 
disposition to expect too much from them—to exaggerate their 
failures, anil to depreciate them for a want of success, which it 
would have been miraculous if they had attained. But now 
that they have resigned their trust into the hands of the Na¬

back upon their short career with more coolness and impartiality, 
and to form a fairer estimate of the value of their services. On 
Saturday, M* dc Lamartine gave a clear and eloquent history of 
events, from the overthrow of the monarchy on the 24th of Feb¬ 
ruary, to the meet lug of the Assembly on the 4th of May : a short 
period- if calculated by mere days ; a long period, if mea¬ 
sured by the magnitude of the events they witnessed* This statement 
was general, and in the name of the whole Government, and re¬ 
ceived the warm and unanimous plaudits of the Assembly, At 
its conclusion, ML Ledru-RoHin and M. Cremieux detailed m suo- 
cession the acta of their Ministry ? the former entering into vindi¬ 
cations of his conduct, which seemed to satisfy his auditory that he 
was not the arbitrary and violent man that ho had bcentreprcscntea 
to be. On Monday these explanations were continued, M. Gar mere 
Pages detailed the financial operations of the Goyen 
the difficulties they encountered in the tusk of retrieving the ^Ip*^ 
hopeless disorder into which the finances of the Stale had been 
cast by the reckless agents of U corrupt and extravagant monarchy, 
and concluded bv affirming that whatever their merits or demerits os 
administrators of its funds, the Republic had saved France 
from bankruptcy. The Assembly concurred in the truth oi 
this averment, M. Marie, Minister of Public Works. M + Arago, 
Minister of War and Colonies M, Lamartine, Minister of 
Foreign Affairs, and M. Louis Blanc, President of the Oimnitj* 
nioti d&s TruvcUileurs, severally detailed the acts of their administra¬ 
tion; and at its conclusion a vote of thanks to the Provisional Go- 
verament, and a declaration that they had deserved well of the 
country, were enthusiastically proposed, and as enthusiastically car¬ 
ried, The sole objector was M. Barbas, who accused the Govern¬ 
ment of having murdered the citizens of Rouen during the recent 
insurrection. The violence and injustice of M* Barbie found but 
small echo in the Assembly, mid only four or five members supported 
his proposition, that before a vote of thanks was passed, an 
enquiry was necessary into the dreumetances attending the out¬ 
break at Rouen, . f 

The acts of this remarkable Government are now matter qi 
history- There is no fear that posterity will fail to do justice 
to their names. They had no common task to perform; and 
had they succeeded even less brilliantly than they have done, 
they would have been entitled to honourable mention torn oil 
the impartial recorders of the events of this time. Complete 
slides h was beyond their power. It is no demerit that they have 
not fulfilled all men’s expectations; and that amid complications 
of perils and difficulties of the most stupendous character, they 
now and then committed nets, which captious spectators ut a dis¬ 
tance, and warring ambitious at home, could not altogether

its willingness to confide in them in the future, and has appointed

PUBLIC MEETINGS. 

TtoTAL Ikstttuttos,—D r. Faraday commenced hfa an mini course of lectures 
on Saturday last to a numerous and fadtionakle audience* The subject for tile 
piesjnt year is 11 Oil the allied phenomena of the chemical and electrical forteV 
wherdn he will pursue the investigation into the cannexfon of all the physical 
forces which ho entered on last year. Thu lecture (m Saturday was devoted to 
prelim! n ary explanations and 11 Lustrations of chemical forcc*1n which was ahomi 
ttie disrlnettoTi between the actEoiw of particle* of the same substances on each 
other* which constitutes mechanical force, find the mutual otflotts at the par¬ 
ticles of iliiterant, flubstances, wherein the science of Chemistry depends. Wlillu 
maktoff this distinction, Dr. Faraday pointed out the close assimilation of the 
two forces,, und how Intimately their phenomena are connected. Mechanical 
force produces molecular nation, und the aggregation of particles—of two drops 
0t water on a rose-leaf, for example—Is the result of chemical action j Die same 
in kind, though different In degree, as decomposition and com bastion. Nunie- 
rmis^norlmcnte were performed, with Dr. Faraday's usual skill In manipulation, 
to exemplify different kinds of chemical action, beginufag with the feeblest, and 
proceeding :a tho most energetic. The contraction of the volume of given qmiifa 
tIt! * at spirits of wine an A wuter, when mixed* was shown by putting the two flu Ids 
Into a glass vessel so constructedthat tbav wore kept separate until Inverted, and 
when the mix taro took place* trie vessel* which was previously quite full, exhi¬ 
bited an empty space. The decomposition of ether by nitric acid* reuniting Ln 
the evolution of an inflammable gas* was contracted with the opposite effect of 
producing a solid white substance, by mingling together mumonfacal gax and 
muriatic acid gas, and by the KolEdifSeatirm of limpid solulions of muriate of 
lime and carbonate of potass. Dr. Faraday particularly Impressed on his audi¬ 
tors that the result* of chemical actions are not mixture* t but that they form 
compounds distinct from* and often possess pro[iortle& directly opposite to those 
or the combined substances. Notwithstanding these changes* however* and the 
apparent annihilation of the component parts by the process of chemical action, 
one of the moot Important facta which chemistry reaches is, that matter la in- 
ilestructlbLo. Lavoisier* Uy employing the balance In chemical i uvea N got Ion*, 
was enable cl to prove that, even daring combustion, there is no particle of the 
original matter destroyed* nor is ft oven changed. The products of combiutfcm 
are found to weigh exactly the same us the combuatibio and the gas with which it 
unite* during the process, and the original olementa may be reproduced un¬ 
changed. As an easy ill ustration of the apparent destruction of a au bstaoce by 
mica! combination, and Its subsequent restoration. Doctor Faraday ad¬ 
duced tlic combination of Iodine with zinc* A small quantity of Iodine was 
heated in a gluas flask, when the beautiful violet-coloured vapour peculiar to 
that substance was copiously omitted* A little ilnc and spirits of wine were 
then added, and* after the combination, nil tbo properties of the iodine seemed 
tn be lo.ft* and it was heated without the emission of the least vapour. The ad¬ 
dition of sulphuric acid, however, liberated the iodine, and then Its violet-coloured 
vapour again filled the flask. Thus, us Dr* Faraday observed, the particles Of 
iodine which had been floating uti perceived on the waters since the creation of 
the world, after having been extracted from tho sea*weed by the chemist, and 
placed on the lecture table* were again lost to sense In combination with line, 
and were once more restored by chemical agency. M there fa no destruction 
nor creation of matter by chemical action, so also there la no destruction nor 
creation of power, though some philosopher* still cling to the notion that the 
exci tement of electricity ferns an exception to this law of n attire. The cou ^dera¬ 
tion of the development of electricity to the voltaic battery, by chemical force* 
wm, however* reserved for the next lecture* 

TUE Royal Lite n ary Fnxn—The ftfty-ntoth aniiiversarv festival of thU 
Institution was celebrated on Wednesday, at the Freemasons 1 Tavern* his Grace 
the Duke of Northumberland in tUo chair* After the toast of the evening, 
“Prosperity to the Royal Literary Fund," had been acclnntatensly acknowledged, 
Dr. R asset! read a report, which stated that during the past year 3S deserving 
cases hail been relieved, at an outlay Of £1230. The rev. gentleman then read 
a list of contributions for the current year, amounting to a handsome sum* and 
embracing the details of her Majesty the Queen. £100; the Duke of Northum¬ 
berland* in 00; Lord Elienborough, Iff guineas; Lord Ellesmere, £10; the 
Archbishop of Dublin* 30 guineas; the Stationers' Company, £20; Mr. James, 
the novelist* £10, with an annual subscription of £,7 ; Mr. Mu nek ten Millies, 
M.P., £5 ; Lord Ebriogtou, id guinea*; Mr. J* Swinburne* £D> s Mr, Mucrea- 
dv* £■*>; Mr. Gardener Wilkinson, £10*; the Duke of Hamilton. £10 ; the 
Bishop of Manchester* £10 j John Walter, Eet],* >LP,, 10 guineas ; Mr, Lovell* 
tr guineas; Mr* Thackeray, £IS; Hr* 11 it I him* £10 ; Baron Parke* 10 guineas; 
Vice-Chancelhit Knight Bruce* 10 guineas, Itc, Some complimentary toasts 
having m&a given, the company separated, after a most agreeable evening. 

London Umvlssitv College.—O n Saturday last the annual distribution of 
prizes to the medical department of tins Callege took place in the presence of a 
largo number of the students and of I heir friends. Lord Brougham, the Pre¬ 
sident of the Institution, took tho chair, ln the theatre of the College, at three 
cAdoek, supported by Sir L. Golilsmld and Sir l*. Ryan,—Dr* Grant, tho Dean 
of Faculty* read the report of the commit ten, by which it appeared that the 
income and the number of students were Increasing.—The different professor a 
then rend the names of the successful prizemen in their respective classes. On 
r sing, each was received either with marks of applause or dlsapprolmtibn on 
the pun of the assembled students. Professors Sliorpey oml Quatu were badly 
received, upon which the latter said— 11 1 am not snrprfaed at this. Statemanta 
'injurious to me have been circulated tn reference to a respited col league* and 
if they be not fully inquired Into, it will bo no fault of mine/' (Choars and 
iitsacs,)—The Chairman: If yen hod been as long in the House of Commons as 
I have been* you would not be surprised at these things,—Tho prizes were titan 
delivered to tho successful Candida Tea, and Lord Brougham concluded tho day's 
proceeding* by an appropriate address. 

AiTiaT*' Genes at* BKMItVOLBftT ItfSTimmoN.—Tha uutivemry festival of 
this institution was hold on Saturday last (it tho Freemasons' Tavern, Great 
Queen’Street. Tho choir mi taken by the Most Honourable tito Marquis nf 
Nortimmpton, President of the Royal Society. Amongst the gentlemen present 
were Sir W, Rosa, R.A,, V.P*, Mr, Barry* ft,A, p Mr. C. Stanfield, R.A.* Mr* W. 
Wyou* &>c. During the evening It wait made known that the funds of the 

charity were rather on the Increase, a circumstance which, when the numerous 
demands made upon the institution are considered. Is a matter for very sincere 
congratulation* The receipts for the past year amount to £lAli9 Os. Gd*j and 
tho expenditure leaves a balance of £293 19s, lOd, at (he banker 1 *, to meet the 
distribution of last January, as well as for a reserve fond for urgent com* . Re¬ 
lief was last year granted to fifty-five applicants, who received sums varying in 
amount from £50 to £10 each. The greater number of these cases arc old re¬ 
cipients of the bounty of tho charity. Tho subscriptions during the evening 
amounted to £456* 

British Missions.—T he Home Missionary Society* the Colonial Missionary 
Society, und tho Irish Evangelical Society—supported by rite congregationalLsts 
— have, within the last twelve months* been united uniter tho general title of 
the Bri tfah Missions. The first an itiml meeting of the amalgamated socie ties was 
heM-onTu*id*J'iiight-aihE5tetor r tlall; Mr* Alderman Ctiollfa presided. The 
chairman, iti opening tha proceedings, remarked that England, in con sequence 
of recent occurrences abroad, was dearer now to English men than at any termer 
period of her history. And yet Id England it was melancholy to reflect that 
there were millions of the population without hlbles—millions who revered no 
Sabbath—who worshipped no God. (Hear.) In the nineteenth century England 
had to be evangelised* For this noble purpose, the Homo MUrionary Society 
wag peculiarly adapted. Mr* Ashton then read tho twenty-ninth animal report 
of the Home Missionary Society- It stated that the three combined societies 
were In active operation under one board of moirngoment and one set of officers. 
The income of the year amounted to £6376 2s. Td,; the expenditure liad been 
£7301 I Os. 4d,; leaving a balance of £739 13s. M. against the society. Con¬ 
nected with the society there are at present 50 missionaries, 59 grantees, and 0 
students i 49 towns, villages* anti hamlete arc regularly virited. There are 193 
Sabbath and 49 day schools connected with the society* MJ&donaries have been 
stationed in 23 additional towns during the past year. The Rev. Thomas James 
then read the report of the Irish Evangelical Society. During the late famine, 
£9465 in 3d. find been received by the society, And distributed in money, food, 
and clothing, without distinction uf party, political or religious. (Cheers.) The 
society had 30 ministers and missionaries* 23 scripture readers* and 34 schools 
containing 1710 scholars* which number might be Indefinitely increased. During 
the past year the income amounted to £3234 12s. 5d. j the disbursements to 
£3662 3a. 4d. i leaving a deficiency of £427 105. Hd. In addition to the regu¬ 
lar income* the society had received a legacy from the late Thus* Coddlek. Faq,, 
of Tewkesbury* of £1000 Brazil inn Bonds, worth now about £700* The Rev, 
Algernon Well i reftd the report of tho Colonial Missionary Society. It was very 
aatlsfactory* and show ed that increased funds could not fail to produce Increased 
Usefnlness. The reports were adopted* and several reverend gentlemen having 
ftddrssacd the meeting* the proceedings terminated. 

British aui> Fori:ion School Sociwtt.—O n Monday, the usual annual 
paectlng was held In Exeter Hall* The platform was occupied by a largo num¬ 
ber of distinguished gentlemen* Viscount Morpeth prodded. The secretary 
read tho report of the committee for the past year. It was a document of consi¬ 
derable length* and entered Into a description af tire operations of the society 
in various parts of the country* describing Its benefits in the prevention of 
crime and the establishment In many districts of a better system of Instruction, 

It was stated* that, at a meeting of tho society held ou the 1st of June Inst, tho 
question of whether or not Government aid should be received was loft to tho 
consideration of a committee- Tha decision hod been Ln the affirmative* and 
coins dlvtelons laid been caused in tha society in consequence* bat without any 
re-wlti «ri£HteJy detrimental to tha Interests of rba sockitv. The model schools 
In tbo various districts wore nil full* The numbers admitted, during the year 
lutd been—twys, St23j girls, 420. Tire normal schools were also programing. 
About, 142 candidates had been admitted* and 34 appointed to schools; making* 

4n both, department*, 335 students* and about 200 appointments. 95 new schools 
had been establisheti in Wlocalities. 11 had been 1 ntcrnled to establssh four new 
normal sdiooD; but the efforts towards that end had not been successful. A 
suitable site had been obtained for onu of thesa schools near Bristol, but the 
other* remained in abeyance, Mr* S* (Iubskv. tho treasurer, then read tho 
balance-tirect* teora which It appeared that the fiubgcriptiona for the ynar had 
amounted to £WH& la. 6d.; tbo deuutlons to £5S4 9s, 6d.j the proceeds from 
the auxiliary societies to £1056 Is. 14,; from the Council on Education, £7W>i

tiio society 1 * agents had visited 3007 merchant ships between London and 
Gravesend, and distributed lutumgvt tho crews an fewer than 2846 prayer books, 
besides m large namber of homilies tn English and foreign languages. The con- 


vlctesteblkhmente find also been visited, and through tha Iraitrumontailty of the 
society many of the convict* had boon taught to read* They were then pret-ented 
with prayer books* which they took with them to the penal settlemente- An In¬ 
teresting feature In the operations oftho past year was the circumstance that 81 
emigrant ships leaving Engl mid had been supplied wOh religion* books. The 
distribution in this quarter hud been 390 prayer books und Sunday services* 1307 
humifies, 2205 family prayers, 860 collects und catechisms, unci nearly 10,000 
trac ts. The operation* of the society In Ireland, the British colonies* and tho 
continent Of Europe, were equally satisfactory, though not so apparent. The re¬ 
ceipt* of the society amounted to £2292* being Lem than tlia expenditure by 
£Mfi; and in addition to the; balance against the society, there were outstanding 
debt* to the amount of £232*

qnonce of a. reqtutsition from tho Bishop of Winchester, a conshlerabfo number 
ofthe clergy of tire Surrey suburban parishes met his hmfahlp on Wediresdny* 
at IfSnchester-house, St* James Vi-sqm,an;* for tho purpose of receiving the sug¬ 
gestions of the committee of the Health of Towns Association, The deputation 
of the Health of Town* Association was composed of Lord Ashley* M.F.* the 
Hon. F. Byng, Dr. Gny, Mr. Toynbee, fltc. The Bishop of Winchester, 
having taken the chair, addressed the meeting, and stated the reasons why he 
bud called thorn together* He was one of those who thought that it would not 
be difficult to prove that a direct connexion existed between the aanatory condi¬ 
tion of the poor, and the state of religion amongst them* But w hether that 
were so or not, no person could deny that one exercised an indirect Influence 
over the other. Nothing* therefore, could occupy their minds which would be 
more likely to bear on the success of their parochial minlst radon than tho Im¬ 
provement of tho sanatory condition of tire people. Ah vicar of the diocese, it 
wan his duty to promote the religious advantage Of tho several parishes which 
they represented* and to hear his part with thorn in whatever might appear 
likely to be effectual in ameliorating tho social condition and pftmmtlhg tho per¬ 
sonal and domestic comforts of all under their spiritual superintendence * and* 
first of all* the meanest and the poorest amongst them. (Hear, hear,} Ano¬ 
ther motive which urged him on In this cause was a consideration for the clergy 
themselves* whose uacfhlnesS waa In many instances erlppM by tho disorders 
ongeadyml from befog obliged to breath q an impure atmosphere. Lord Ashley 
and several members of the deputation and of the clergy present haring also 
addressed thu meeting, the following resolution was unanimously carried:— 

“ That this meeting, being able to confirm by their own personal experience the 
statements made In tire report* of tho Health of Towns Commissioners, to tire 
need of improved sanatory arrangements in onj densely populated diatricU, and 
feeling that the condition Of the people In this respect fa not only unfavourable 
to health* but that it offers a serious obstacle te the minister of religion In lifa 
efforts to promote their improvement* fa enllcd upon to express its carnestcon- 
viction that It is tire duty of the legislature to pass without delay a sound and 
com prelie n atvo measure to remedy the evifa pressing upon all classes* bu t more 
especially upon tire poorest/ 1

HER MAJESTY'S. 

Mdllo. Jenny LlmTa second porformanco of Amina, in Bellini's op^a of the 
“ SoanaTnbula,’ 1 on Saturday night, was received with tite most rapturous demon- 
stretimis gf applause. The universolly-recognlaetl cliaracterlstic5» of her dctlnra* 
tlon are exquisite nsiuralneas, gracefol slmplldtj-.nnd entire frewlom from stage 
rniivcntlnnalism. Her delivery nt the slow lunvemenl in the lost acenrs Is cmc of 
the most poetlciil remllngflof that dramatic situation ever heard, and her delivery 
of the linafo replete with youthful buoyancy and breadth uf effect* Her expriKi- 
*!mi throughout the opera is all instinct with Intelligence; tier deportment is 
modest, frank, and on affected * nnd her voice In the upper note* haa wondrous 
power to charm, whHat her oniaiiujnfaaud cmbrolduirlcs. arc in the beat posslbla 
taste. 

On Tuesday right “ LucreJtia Borgia' 1 was related, the parUf Gemtaro being 
HUS rained, for the ftrat tteae, by Curi:ani, a ringer who*o imouartoit ia so perpe¬ 
tually at fault us to dlstreM the car acutely. The want Of a tenor lo relieve (for ■ 
duui from uncearing luhour and exertion U wvetely felt, and wo hope, there¬ 
fore, that the report of Hiocngugriuout of Shams Reeve* will be corroborated. 

tho arrival pf Sladume Tadollnl, a prima donna who hm joined much fume In 
Italy and Germany, is a welcome event. She will make her <Wmi t we under- 
fttund, on Tuo day nest, in Donizetti's opera of Linda," which was cxprwwly 
coinpoRud for her «t Vletma. It Is nno of tlie best works of tlie deceased com¬ 
poser, and Imo not yet boon sulfteltmriy appreciated in this country, 

Gn Thursday night* the Swedish Nightingale appeared In her popular pert Of 
Maria. In no character coo the genial churns of Mdlle. Llnd'a acting and ring¬ 
ing be more thoroughly appreciated than in this character. The FicanffulfM or 
snttler mi ring nmengri soldlcfa* If courBcly rendered, might bo d^ugrceable \ 
hut the rofliiemunl of Mdlle Lind divests tlie character of every- particle of bold- 
ness. Her dramatic tact and vocal excellence ure supreme throughout the 
opera. 

Mdllo. Ilnd's iierfomiuiii'e was received with tho utmost cuthnsiami hy a. 
crowded house. She was rapturotfaly encored In the " Ra ta pfon " air with 
the iw>!aiern, und as vc hemeriti y applauded In the cluo with GardonL In the 
second act she was called for three times after the Singing Lesson, in wfildiih* 
executed n reriea of roulades with great effect. Her prolonged slinkes utid situ- 
tained notes afforded the highest delight in the air In the fast act. At tite 
c lose of the Opera, the usual ovations were bestowed upon her. 

On Tuesday Ferret made hh re appearance In "Alma,*' with Cotito. 

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. 

The long-flTiticJpafod rftfcnf of Mrtntc, Pauline Viordot Garcia took place on 
Tuesday night, before a great assemblage of Royalty-, rank, fashion, and artisti- 
cal celobrlties. The details of tlie career of thia celebrated vocalist are presented 
in another column. Her first appearance was under cfaccquered circumstances, 
Mario, at the eleventh hour, suffering from, a sflverecold and relaxed threat, was 
compelled under medical udvlcc to atiandcin his part of Salvi, who has 

played It with \'iurdt>l in Vienna, refried to undertake it nt a short notice; and 
at length* rather than that the opera should be changed, Signor Fiavio, a tenor 
whomade his appearance at Iter Majesty** Theatre in 1S41 with no great suc¬ 
cess, consented to enact Elrtw, appearing of counte without any rehearsals* ai a 
notice of a ceuple of hour*. It may be conceived that tlie natural trepi¬ 
dation of Mdme. Vlardot Garcia was uonridembly inomiscd by this un¬ 
toward event; and, in fact, she never completely recovered from her 
fright until the sleep-walking scene of the Lost act. Had we not, from Con¬ 
tinental experience, been well acquainted with her musical and hlAtrionlc geidtm, 
we should not have recognised Ylantofc Garcia until her finale. We must defor 
criticism as to the earlier iscoucs for her future appearance, which will be thfa 
evening (Saturday); and, as wo are glad to 1 earn, with Marioa* the lover. Like 
Mall bran, Vlardotie a singer of impulse, andlier biiccesse^ are greatly dependent 
on externa! or ph vrical cauaos. Her voice comprises nearly three octaves, havl ng 
the si j-tu pathetic qualities of ths contralto with tho lofty range of the soprano. 
Tlie best portion* of her extensive register ore the medium and lower 
tones—tho notes of the upper octave exhibiting a wont of timbre,, 
arising probably from over-exerdon in training. Her geniua In vocalisation 
fa, however, unmfotake»ble. Her crubaUUhEiema comprise tha most rare 
and original Intricate passages atari interval*; her ahake In perfect, mid on the 
highest note lu hcraealc.ua exhibited tn the 11 All 1 non ginuge, 1 ' quite elec¬ 
tric*!. The exclamation 11 Ah 1 mi abhrtfodV' In her tonlraito notes, thrills 
through you ; tlie entire finada fa tt daring conception—a wonderful outpouring 
of Joy and rapture-the very triumph of vocal mechanism ond art. It would be 
vain to attempt a description of lbo senantion created by this prodigious dfapluy 
of consummate akill, for there wore no bounds to the explosion of delight 
ovtucod in a spontaneous eneoro, recalls, bouquets, &c. 

Signor Fiavio {whose real name fa Hie Marquis tie Puitf, son of the Spftni 5h 
Genera] ofthat name, who was Governor of Madrid and Iknrceienu) has a very 
fine voice, but appear* to bo deficient in style. In some passages hi* chert note* 
w ere verv nearly being remarkably grant; but Ida (awiaOmt use of the falsetto, 
arid Tils manner of dragging tha time, were drawbacks. He has sung tho part 
Of Elvina, with Millie, Tadollnt, in Naples, wiveral time*. Not tudng bubl- 
tnated to the pitch Of owe orchestras* bo was occasionally Hot. If there were no 
Mario, Fiavio would be a hi frit valuable acquisition: be lias a handsome face 
and acts with energy. Ho was recalled twice after his iiir opening tlie second 
act. Of course, from the want of rehearsal, his scenes with durian incommoded 
the ddbat&nit sadly, particudurly in the duo and In the finale of the bed-room 

K JIdile. Curbari's Xiw, rulonlni's Afeasfo, and Tomburiul's gal font Count, ren¬ 
dered the cast in the emtmlU very complete; but we do not approve of the 111- 
terpolatcd alr of IfdUe. Gorbari in the fost scene, albeit oxtreumly well sung. 

Her Majesty and Prince Albert honoured the second representation of “ La 
Cenereutola" with their presents nn Saturday nighti Alboni again producing 
u powerful effect In the part flf the licrome,

house w#a well attended, mu! tlie perfection of Dio ttwmblt drew forth Die 
greatest demonstrations of delight. 

SURREY* 

"Tho Three Red Men," a drama, taken, as we observed last week* from Run 
F^voTfl novel* “ Lc Flfo du Dlable," and which waa played at the Ajnbigu in Sep¬ 
tember* was brought out here on Monday evening. The French pleats was in the 
author atone knows how many acts* and somewhat heavy, it laboured under 
the additional disadvantage of being played agnlunt the " Chevalier do Maison- 
Rouge/ K at Dumas'tlieatre, hu t achieved a certain degree of success—more, we ima¬ 
gine , than It will at the Surrey. Not that It has been bad ly translated or put upon 
the stage ; on the contrary, tho management deserves some credit for the miw ea 
Kbnt; but its tiction and effects am not sufficiently clear and powerfhl to please a 
Surrey audience. Mrc. It. Bonner* Mr. Hicks, and several member* of the old 
company, appear in it to groat ad vantage. , . „ 

Very much more, howerer, must be done than has yet been aecomplfahed, If 
tho Surrey Theatre is to lie raised to any position. It will not be by back trans¬ 
lation* or foeble revivala that the establishment will become a good property, 
nor in tiio ease of original pieces—if they may he ao called—will it be iiebleved 
by truslirg to the class of dramatic authera to whom ten shillings a night is 
considered sufficiently remunerating for the ropresentatioa of their plays. To 
moke the Surrey 4 first-rate theatre* first-rate talent In every department must 
he employed, not only in writing tlie pieces, but in their production. 

Unless the management makea some great effort—produce* some stirring 
drama, embracing incident, variety of character* and powerful scenic display, 
fchrt may be talked about amongst playgoers* ami net self-puffed in the l>tlla—it 
mubt again end In a failure. Over and over again we have slated our opinion 
that It fa the finest theatrical property, and most certain! y tho best constructed 
theatre in London; hut if the notion fa cherished that audiences will be content 
with* or flock to see, the samo class of entertainment that satisfied the public 
twenty years ago—if anything* not so well deme-thou must tlie speculation 
ohty end lu rain and contempt. There la an excellent* and, what is more, a 
popular melodramatic company now at the Surrey; and we shall look for 
something speedily to bring forward all tho mem bora to the host advantage. 

HAYMARKET. 

Mr. Reach's amoxing bfatffrof “ Jenny Lind" has been revived at this house, 
Mrs- Kecley atid Mr. Wigan taking their original character*. The lady is as 
effective a* ever* end produce* roara of fang liter in her operatic scenes* making 
un again regret that we ace comparatively so little ef her, Mr. Wigan (toes not 
appear to suck advantage us foniwriy ; he was more at homo in flic Lyceum.

ftome portions 'if the farce, asnovaral (illusions, which created kIioues of laughter

what dead. 

We have heard it reported that when the Hayrmrkst closes* the A del phi 
company will he brought there, hi a body* to play during the alteratlona con¬ 
templated ut the latter house, Whether (his be the case or not, wu hope that 
a Jlule quantity Of paint of whitewash will be spared for tlie riMlecoratfan of the 
Hsymflriret, the auditory of which house has now u most dingy and melancholy 

appearance. -

PRINCESS** 

It la quite time that something was dom) at thia house to pull up Its reputation 
and so fill its benches, for the depressing effect of the vapid and bare trancjla- 
tlans poured forth front the fSwce-facbny worked by ttie management* Is really 
serious ; end especially to the theatrical critic* who fa obliged to be present at 
these flimsy representor tone. Tho pi ay-going public cm *tay away If they choose, 
and they prove their Independence in this respect by doing so; but tlie reporter 
Is lured up bv a now title in the bills only to find home respectable old French 
friend throat Into an Itl-mado Ehglfah fires*, and punLed liefer e the uadi once 
with the Idea of amusing them* Madame Anna ThltlOff and lira, Stirling* both 
lu the company, really deserve a Iwtitr clumces but some decided line should be 
taken hy rho management with respect to tho class of entertainment produced- 
At present It so vncilfatra between operetta* ballet* drama, and fareo, that tlio 
public lose faith In Lt n!together, seeing tlrat neither permanently succeeds. 

TITE COLOSSEUM* 

We were favoured with an Invitation to the private view, on Saturday, to 
the fteJfii exhibition of this almort fairy paluce of enchantment, and on Mon¬ 
day it was thrown open to the pfiblfo. The neiv grand font lire consists Of a 
J’uiiornnuL of i'aris* occupying the position Of tlio largo picture of London, and 
painted on 46*000 square feet of canvass. The city is represented Dy moon¬ 
light, and tho view fa supposed to ho taken from the car of a balloon hanging 
over tho garden I]f the Tntlfori&s* The Marion is admirably carried out, 
even down to the eortfa supposed to come from the netting of tho 
balloon, between which tho spectator looks at the view, by this novel 
plan a much better rot ip fa obtained than by sketching the localities 

from thu summit eff a building, by which means the principal fea¬ 
ture In a city fa always lost. Nothing cun ha more perfectly dccOptiva 
nor minutely vorreet lliati thia view; and the visitor acquainted with. 
Paris can readily discover all the buildings with Which he la familiar. Just at

part* as we have frequently urged* was con hired exclusively to sacred music, 
giving as it did Heethovenfa celebrated orafoi'io* ^Tlio Mount of Olives*" in its 
entire farm; iujfi, secondly* the hist act was composed entirely Of secular pfooea, 
and oat of eight, seven were performed for tho first time at these concerts. 

The general execution we remarked was utteruled with more animation and 
pim-kioii than nre usually displayed by the conductor, Sir Henry Bishop, There 
were some mistakes In the readings in the “ Mount of Olives 1 "—the march of 
soldiers not being played Stilficicntiy staccato, and tlie points of the glorious M Hal- 
leluJalF' fugue not lie big quite clearly developed ; but, on flto whole, tho oratorio 
wjls well Interpreted* Mario, not being recovered from the iHncflsthat prevented 
Jifa appearance at the Royal Italian rip era* did not sing the marie of the Disciple, 
nud 11 was taken, at a fow hours' notice, by Mr. Lockey, who, however, hud to 
slug the Eojglfall words, whilst the remainder of the work was sang in Italian. 
He kquilted himself most creditably la the emergency; the music fa exceed¬ 
ingly difficult* requiring declamatory powers of a high older. Tills oratorio 
was drat done In U£3, at tho Dniry-Lane oratorios, and Sir George Smart Jimt 
the credit of Introducing this sublime production in this country. In ths origi- 
i]el German text* the Saviour relates hfa sufferings at tlie Mount; but* In tlu*. 
English adaptation, the poem is properly change lI to tho third person, sung by «, 
Disciple. In nur report of the Beethoven Festival, 111 Auguift* liM-V wc pub- 
1 faked unaniilyria of the “Mount of Olives" m It was performed by Herr Man¬ 
tels, Sinn digit and Mdllo. Tacxek, Tamburinl sang Iho music of Peter tha

solos Of the iferaph; gained groat glory by her musician 4Jko skill. She luid to

rendered; and tho exquisite bits Of instrumentation in the orchestration were 
nicely watted, We ttra glad to learn that Costa Intends to perform this work 
wish tho Royal Italian Opera resources. 

In the second part Mdlle, Alboni sang tha charming melody* “Pagtt flu," 
from Winter'* " Proserpina," with satlt depth of feeling and purity of style, as 
to elicit an immodfato encore front her Majesty* who fa herself a most accom¬

which wore a massive churns from Handel's opera of u Agrippina ; ,p a Sestet

STATE OE THE PUBLIC HEALTH IN THE FIRST 
QUAKTEE OF THE TEAK 1843. 

The Registrar-General issued hia quarterly stetemont on Wednesday lasts— 

The quarterly retunui are obtained from 117 districts* subdivided Into 562 
sub-dfelrictM. Thirty-six districts are in tim metropolis, and the remaining £H

lM4h It was 40*996* wliid] li conhidoraldy above tho average. In the mild 
winter of I34il it was much below the average. The rest of the year was mt- 
favourable to haaltli; some of the diseases of hot climates set In; tho potato 
crop failed in England and Ireland* with disastrous effects, in 1>54T, scurvy* 
typhus, and other zymotic discuses prevailed j and at the end of the year Influ¬ 
enza broke out. Its ravages extended over tho country, and continued hi some 
districts through the iqonih of January* A tabular statement Is given* 

which shows that* in unhealthy seasons* tho difference above the calculated 
number wm* in I a 45, 2024; tn 1341, was 1839; In l»4fi* was 1623; in

tu Liindon 16*165 deaths were registered In the 11 rat thirteen weeks of 1848, . 
and 1.5,289 in rlw firM tlitnccn week™ of 1847, The deaths in tin* winter of 
1840 were only 12,513; in LS45* however, they had. boon 14,63d* The mortality 
was liigh during toe first five weeks of the present year. In the week ending 
February 5, 14S3 were returned, exclusive of deaths by violence and sodden 
deaths; in toe next week tho deaths were 1263; tko temperature rose, and in 
the week ending February 12 the deaths were U02; In the five following

Lliirteen weeks were 102, 162* 89* 56* 29* 47* 27, 33, 18, It* 10, Id, 8. Pulmonary 
dfeewMs (exclusive of conBumption) were little mure than half as fatal nl llie end 
os they were at the beginiilng of the quarter. A great dlflforenog will be ob¬ 
served In the causes of death in 1847 and 1848, although too mortality was high 
la both winters, in the winter of 184T the deaths from diseases of the lung* 
were 4056; In 1848 they were 336T; on too other hand* zymotic diseases were 
more than twice us fatal in 1848 an they were In 1347. 

In the districts of the kingdom generally, exclusive of London, the deaths In 
the winters of the five years 1844-8, were 32,494* 35,310* 31*332, 46*8)6, and 
41,255. The deaths hi the dtatricts of Lancashire and Cheshire* in the live 
winters* were 11,368, 12^96*11,928, 15,457, and 13*444* and nearly equal, in 
the lust two years, to the deaths iu London* although the population was only 
1,530*460 in 1841, whiin the population of Loudon was 1,648*360. From the 
registrar’s remarks. ItappeiLra that typhus, scarlatina, haophij^cough, and Email- 
l>ox were epidemic in many parts of the country. The mortality of Birming¬ 
ham, Manchester* and Liverpool rtih remains excessively high. The deaths in 
Birmingham were IGtiO; tho population was 138,187 In !3iJ. Birminghamh&a* 
lu Its rite, nrnuy advantages tn a sanatory point of view, and the occupations uf 
the people are not Insalubrious; but the hcncticencc of nature appears to las 
defeated by the negligence of tho authorities. Water* pure air, and a perfect 

S siem of dra in age are not provided* as they might he* for the whole town; and 
e cpmsequence is tliat w ant and the epidemics abroad have destroyed thou¬ 
sands of the lives Of the inhabitants within rite last two years. The fatal effects 
of collecting large bodies of labourer*, w ithout adequate house amimmodatkm, 
Emvo been illustrated to Lincoln, 

The registrar of the homo snb-dlstrict, after remarking that toe deaths In the 
quarter were to I, adds;—"Tbla return shows that, with In & polled of two years 
and a half* the mortality has been doubled. The fact Is accounted for by the in- 
crease of a temporary population connected with the formation of railway** 
without a sufficient Increase of uccofimtadation, which has induced typhus and 
measles. TUere have been nineteen deaths from fever* fourteen from lnfiuenaa* 
ami twenty-seven from consumptionBut Lincoln itself appears less foiluhrl- 
(jus Hunt It might be made. In Kottlngliam the mortality was high, but not so 
idgh as In the winter of 1840. The mortality In Liverpool and Manchester fs 
tttili excessively high* but: not sd high as tn the w inter Of 1847. There is a mani¬ 
fest Improvement in H udder? Heir I* Halifax, Bradford* and Leeds, lu Sheffield and 
York toe mortality was higher in 1848 than In 1847, 

The extent to which vaccination U neglected lu somo por ts of too country la 
deplorable and inconceivable. Such facts us the following are, It Is tn bo feared* 
not uifootnnuio hi other districts borides East Sttoderifthdr—“ Dcuihs* 140: coml- 
denibly above the average ■ 02 more than In the corresponding quarter of lust

jji tho district. 47 poisons have died of smaU-pox, (only one after vaccination.) 
Out of tho 140 deaths 64 are under five yours/'

Six PASdESotAS Killed on no- Gsbat 4 V cat run Uailwat.—Oii Wednes¬ 
day an accident occurred to the Express 12$ r,w, train from Exeter, which 
resulted In tho death of six persons, and tho serious injury of several others. 
The train canofetad of two flrat and four sccond-ctiuA carriages, which were 
drawn by an engine (tho Sultan) and tender. Next to the engine was a 
luggage-van, which was followed by a second -class earrliLgc unusually foil of 
passengers. The train started at about twenty-five minutes to one o'clock* 
being five minutes after the immi time, and uraa driven ut the usual speed* 
which U between forty-five and fifty miles an hour—a speed greater 
than that uf express trains on any orirer Line. Its progress wjis unin¬ 
terrupted till It approached the Shrivel thorn elution, where it Is stated 
that the signal was given that the lino was clear, in consequence of whEch 
toe speed was continued* the Express not having to call ut thfe station. 
At tills part of toe hue there fe a branch rail for turning off the carriages. At 
the angle of divergence cf ton off-line wax an empty hcrao-hox with a truck 
attached (ofi which wus a gentleman's carriage), which His supposed just over¬ 
lapped the main upline* os u collfefon took place. The horae-box with the tntek 
were swung round* and lu a moment the second-class carriage, which was con¬ 
nected-with toe luggage-van in the rear of rile engine, w as dashed to pieces. 
The unfortunate pa-s^iigera were Rung out in every direction, Tho driver soon 
reversed the engine* fortunately checked its speed sufficiently to prevent any 
other carriage of the train being thrown over, the second carrijigo being too 
only one whiAt went off tho line. The line was Mrewd with the wreck of tho 
carriage, white a number of the pinucugerc* wounded and dying, were 
lying about. Four of the sufferers exhibited! no signs of life* and two others 
wure most seriously Lftfurtd. All chose who were wounded were conveyed in 
carriages to the Swindon slat ion for medical advice* which was promptly re¬ 
ceived, There was wily one passenger who received no serious tojuiy* unci who 
way seated in one corner of tha carriage. It is mujecestitny to add that tho 
greatest ntarai prevailed among too passenger* in the other carriages. The 
tiultiui received so much Injury, timt another engine w&s provided from Swin¬ 
don* for the purpose of conveying tho train to Paddington* which arrived there 
a tew minutes after seven o'clock, being about two hours auti & half beyond the 
usual time. There appears to be ho fioubt that the horse-box had been ne-

died, 1 soys Petrarch, ■ os he lived, acting and speaking like himself. He Chose 
to die in the habit of the Third Order Of St* Francis, an act of 
zeal at that time in fashion." Such Is the memorable Incident which 


Mr. Elmore has selected 
for the purposes of Ida 
art. It must bo confessed 
that he bos mode the most 
of It* and contended with 
equal skill and ability 
against the difficulties of 
a subject which hardly 
allows—in parr, at least— 
of pictorial representa¬ 
tion. Our artists atonot 
often clear in making [ho 
necessary dUtfncttim be¬ 
tween subjects particu¬ 
larly suitable for the pur 
poses of the historian, and 
subjects better adapted for 
the resources of art. It Is 
quite evident that there 
are descriptions in Claren¬ 
don and Hume (to eonftim 
ourselves to English his¬ 
torians), which are In the 
highest degree picturesque 
and moving, but not wall 
adapted for the purpose* 
of art. On the other 
hand, it Is equally true 
that there are many sub¬ 
jects palmed which no 
words can describe. It la 
Spenser who says :— 

" The poet's wit uirpaasetii 
painter’s Car 

In picturing the parts ot 
beauty daynt." 

This, however, was a poet’s 
judgment, and palmer* 
may appeal to Raphael 
and Guido, to Reynolds 
and to Lawrence, for the 
superiority of the pictorial 
to the poetic art in per¬ 
petuating "the parts of 
beauty daynt.” But, it 
would be as well that our 
artists would occasionally 
consider 8 little elorer 
than many do, what art 
can accomplish, and what 
her means actually are, 
and In what way poetry 
differs from palming and 
painting, too, from poetry- 
Mr. Elmore's subject Is full 
of pictorial points: lie has 
revived a scene of great 
historical in retest, and al¬ 
most persuaded us to think 
that we are actually wit¬ 
nessing the scene so un- 
m I stake ably put before us* 
Yet there are points In the 
description which no art 
tan reach* How could 
Raphael represent the 
good old King discovering 
to bis successors the dan¬ 
gers which threatened 
them. Or informing them 
in wliat manner they 
ought to conduct them- 
selves towards their ene¬ 
mies, their friend*, and 
their subjects* Yet these not to be represented last words are actually a part of 
Mr* Elmore's undertaking. The King looks good, and wise, and almost admoni¬ 
tory, He is heard with attention, but that dangers which threatened his succes¬ 
sor* Is confined to Mrs. Dobson.Art itself (hot Mr, Elmore's art alone) 1* 
quire unable to reach what language alone can represent When a committed 
proposed to Chan trey to place his fine stume of Grattan, not on a pedestal, ar¬ 
tistically correct, but on " The Rock Of the Constitution,” Chanlrey observed, 
« But how am I to represent 4 The Rock of the Constitution ?' One rock l* like 
another rock s and, unless I turn to another art, and actually write on the rock 
itself, 4 Thfa Is the Rock of the Constitution/ the pedestal will be a mere piece of 
fancy rock-work, attempting a difficulty which no art can incased to giving*" 
Those general remarks on the resources of an art—boundless In its own re¬ 
sources-have led us somewhat away from the walla of the Academy- Hero, 
however, we must close for the present, not without a promise that our growing 
arrear of drllielHn shall be considerably reduced in Our next week's paper. In 
the meantime we may remark, in Justice to Mr* Elmore, that there la much ex¬ 
cellent pointing throughout his picture. Some of the heads, both in character and 
execution, are astonishingly fine.

James Ron, will proceed ou towards Melville Island, where tire will winter; and 
the Inwstigolcr, under the command of Captain Bird, will; pass*the winter in 
Wellington Inlet, and by means of the steam launch, fitted with a screw pro¬ 
peller, communicate with the whaler*, and explore the adjacent coast. Constant 
communication will also be kept up between the two ship* by means of the £n~ 
terpristfs launch, ___ 


ctantounfoatioii between the ships* These launches were built by Mr. Thom- 
ikih. Of Itotherhtthe, and they are fitted with endues of five-horse paver, by 
Mr. Boale* of East Greenwich* Each launch Is fifty-three feet long, by tix feet 
beam, three feet three inches deep* draws seventeen inches aft, ihlrteon iachea 
fere, or fifteen inches mean. Diameter of her puddles six feet five Inches, pro* 
pelted by one rotary engine which has a pinion wheel on the outride of the shaft 
of the engine, driving a larger wheel upon the shaft of the puddle wheel, so that 
when the engine makes 270 revolution* in u minute, the paddle-wheel nmkoa 
Sixty. Thfi total weight of the engine, condenser, pumps, paddle-wheels, 
boiler and its contents, la about 3* tons, mid the power of the engine, at a 
pressure of forty-five pounds to the loch, would be about twenty-three horses, 
calculated power; nominal power about that of eight horses. Her speed majr 


Otm readto* will, doubtless, recollect (mom particularly from the lllurirattomi 
of Ore treat given in this Journal), that in 1M$ her Majesty* sloops Srtbus and 
Terror left our shores on their attempt to explore the north-west passage Into 


bow OF the 


the Pacific, and to obtain a series of magnetic observations required to com¬ 
plete the set which haa been obtained from every other part of the globe, The 
Expedition, under the command of Captain Sir John Franklin, nailed from 
GraenhUbe, May 19, IMG* The veweft arc engraved, with a portrait of the 
Intrepid Commander, in our Journal for May 34 * aad, the expected inteiil- 


aenre ortho voyagers not having boon iteceived, we new, at the distance of three 
years from their departure, have to Illustrate the last of three expeditions, 
which has Just sailed in search of Six John Franklin and his gallant com* 

"SS a year since, ft wm publicly stated that great fears wore entertained 
aa to titt fete of Franklin and the officers and craws of the Ertbut and Terror. 
These apprcbcndoiis wore somewhat quieted hy this areurance in the Church and 
Gaietfa 11 that the friends aud relations of the officers and crews of these 
vessels jug as yet under no apprehenriom as to their safety, and it may t» satis¬ 
factory to the public, and the means of allaying all uneasiness, to know that 
Cantifc Sir John Franklin, provioua to leaving Woolwich, desired bis officers 
and crew* to Inform their friends Out they could not expect to hear from them 
after they entered the Ice until the? month of October, 1847,—when he trusted 
they would be successful, and vessels would meet them after accomplishing the 
objects of their voyage of discovery." 

Ae these hopes were not realised, in the autumn of last year, Government re¬ 
solved to send outthree expeditions in search of Sir John Franklin sa d his party* 
One was forthwith dispatched to Behrings Straits; the second has jut untied for 
Baffin's Bay; and the third consists of an over land Expedition under tho direc¬ 
tion of Sir John Riehardaon. _ . , .. 

Sir James Boss, whose whole life may be said to have been passed in the 
Arctic and Antarctic seas, has superintended the fitting out of the two vessels 
which have Just sailed—the Enterprise, under his own command ; and tho Inna- 
tigitiar, Captain Bird an experienced officer on the Polar voyages. 

The ships, from their build and Internal arrangements, arc eminently cal* 
ciliated for too service in which they will be engaged, especially in great 
strength, admirably disposed for resisting the pressure or the Ire. The Anfer- 
pru* it the larger ship, being of 4&0 tons* and.huving a drmight of water 1G feet 
$ Inches ; it fenf teak-wood, and (he builder* are Messrs. Wignun* The Investi¬ 
gator Is of 400 tons, with a draught of JG feet, and was built by Ifesan. 
Green. The last of those vessels h to remain on the edgtf of the ice, whilst 
tho Erterprist is to enter It; for till* purpose the bow is of extra strength, 
the cutwater or stem l* filled up, and la quite sharp, to order to cut through the 
tec, and not to hold ft; and the bow lias upwards of 7 fret solid thickness of 
timber* 

To show the policy of this extra strength jweJmvo engraved the keel of the 7error, 
with the injure she recuived to one of her voyages, by the crushing ortho ice, 
when upwards of 20 fret of the keel and l« feet of the stem-post were driven 
over on one tide, leaving a frightful chasm ostein, for the free entrance of the 
water; when the vessel would have sunk, had ahe not been ran on shore. 

Both the EMmyrUc Kid Investigator are fitted alike; and a roof, similar to 
the roof of a dwelling-house, has bean constructed for each ship, to bo put upon 
deck, between the marts, to the event of having to winter In the Arctic regions. 
All the officers have cabin*, which, though smell, are very conveniently ar¬ 
ranged ; and each contains an iron tube, which, in very cold weather, will be 
filled with heated air, to proceed from a furnace, placed to the hold of the ship, 
and from which branches proceed all round ii Wo have engraved this furnace, 
which U remarkable for consuming a very small quantity of coal* In tho Illu*- 
tratton Is shown the main-pipe, and the flat air-chamber, whence the air. after 
numtoff beneath the upper deck, Is diffused through the cabins by small tubes. 

The men sleep to hammocks hung up on the lower deck, and It is calcu¬ 
lated that whence thermometer " above" is at 40“ below sera, there will 
be i temperature " below" of 40°, or 8“ above the freezing point* Each ship 
Is stockod with three years* provisions, consisting of petniran, pres erved meats, 
and vegetables, and tho Usual salt junk of the Navy Z~~2 

We have also engraved tho implements provided for cutting out the Ice, 
the forms or which sufficiently denote their respective uses. 

There hare likewise been constructed two steam launches, for keeping up 


places previously agreed upon in the mightwurfiood of tho Mackenzie Rhsr, 
where they expect to meet with Sir John RJehortbon and hie party. Should 
they succeed in reaching the land, and not fall to with Sir John Richardson, 
they will make fox Cepe Bathurst, Capo Fairy, and Fort Good Hope, where 
Sir John h« boon directed tq leavn bag* of pcmfeati for the use of tho parties 
While those proceedings are being carried on by parties detached from tho ship, 
those remaining behind will search to that Immediate neighbourhood the pro -

bable places where Sir John Franklin may be hampered; and, from tho system¬ 
atic plana that will be adopted, there la little doubt but thalr efforts will he 
crowned with success, and our gallant countryman to the Erebus aud Terror

THE BUSH REBELLION. 

It is seldom indeed in the history of any free country, that such 
measures us have been resorted to by the British Government, 
within the last few days, for the suppression, or rather the prevent 
tion, of rebellion in Ireland, have been received with unanimous 
approval from mm of all parties* With unexampled rapidity, a 
law has been introduced and carried through all its stages, the 
object of which is to suspend the commonest rights of a free 
country ; yet, so deep was the Conviction in the breasts of all who 
had a voice in the matter, that present severity towards the guilty 
was the truest mercy for them, as well as for the people whom they 
mislead, that no opposition worthy of the name was excited to the 
propositions of the Minister, The suspension of Irish freedom was 
voted by acclamation—not because the British Government, Legis¬ 
lature, or any individual of the many who formed the overwhelm¬ 
ing majority, nourished any design or any thought hostile to the 
liberty of Irishmen, or any other section of the peoples but because 
the Government and the Legislature, supported by the common 
sense of the people of aU grades of society, felt and knew that not 
to suspend Irish liberty for the present was to endanger it for the 
future, at the coat, moreover, of a fearful sacrifice of human life* 
Months ago a tribute, as just as it was unexpected, was rendered to 
the clemency of the British Government, and to the real freedom of 
the Irish people* by the organa of the Provisional Government of 
the Trench Republic, which stated that, not even amid the license 
engendered in France by a successful revolution, could such pro¬ 


ceedings have been tolerated as those of the Irish deputation to M* 
do Lamartine* The calm, forbearing dignity of the Executive, 
which elicited this praise, has been maintauied amid many provo¬ 
cations, until further delay on the part of the Government would 
have been a cruel tampering with the lives of perhaps thousands 
and tens of thousands of unoffending or deluded people* Then 
only, at the last moment, the British Government determined to 
act* It has been, and will be, supported in its determination by 
the moral force of the whole Empire. 

So grave a measure as the virtual suspension of all constitutional 
freedom in Ireland was not to be resorted to without a justification 
sufficient not alone for Englishmen and Irishmen, but for all Eu¬ 
rope—not aftrae for the present, but for all future time—not alone 
for the contemporary press, but for (ho unborn writers of impartial 
history * That justifi cation has been found in the circumstances of this 
Irish rebellion ; and even those who most vehemently condemn the 
sins of omission and commission of the Russell Administration, 
cease their condemnation, and unite with ita friends in support of 
the policy it has been so reluctantly compelled to follow in Ireland* 
Upon the heads of the vain and ferocious men who have misled the 
Irish people, must the odium rest of this suspension of liberty * It 
is not the least remarkable characteristic of the power put forth 
upon this occasion, that it has been exerted not to destroy, but to 
save—not to uphold English rule in Ireland, because there is no 
peculiarly English rule in that portion of the country—but to save 
Ireland itself from anarchy and bloodshed, and the unspeakable

horrors of a war of peasants for the possession of the sod. Such a 
war would be even more terrible than that which raged but a few 
weeks ago in the streets of Paris ; and the Irish, if left to fight it 
out without the intervention of a single Saxon, would soon have 
reason to implore as the greatest of boons that union with and sup¬ 
port of Great Britain which their blatant “ felons ” now so zea¬ 
lously, mischievously, and stupidly repudiate* 

We know of nothing in history more deplorable and disgraceful* 
more painful and disheartening, than the conduct of the physical 
force agitators in Ireland since their first split with the late Daniel 
O'Connell. Self-glorification at tho expense of the pockets of tin 
people may have been the fault of that great leader; but he neve; 
indulged in self-glorification at the hazard of their blood. The 
O'Briens, the Meaghers, the Mitchels, and all the raving democrats 
who before the death of O’Connell began to dispute the palm of 
popular sovereignty with him, and who since his death have caused 
his real services to the Irish people to be forgotten in the hubbub of 
their noisy declamation, have manifested on every occasion such a 
brutality of feeling—such a disregard for truth’—ouch a scorn for 
justice—such a contempt for common sense, in their appeals to 
Irish passion and ignorance against not only the unoffending 
English Government, but against that generous and maligned 
people that paid so many millions of money which they could not 
well spare, to relieve their Irish brethren from the miseries of 
starvation, that the contempt which we might fed towards them as 
agitators, gives place to disgust and indignation towards them as

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS. 


[July 29, 1848. 


men. We all know that Ireland h unhappy. Wo all feel that 
Great Britain has,, at the cost of much treasure, endeavoured to 
relieve its wretchedness. Wc are all aware that much remains to he 
done, and must be done before Ireland can be what she might ho ; 
but we are all aware at the same time, that if Ireland is bo wretched 
and degraded, in comparison with England and Scotland, the fault 
must be, to some extent, in the Irish themselves. Every liberty 
enjoyed by Englishmen ami Scotchmen is enjoyed by Irishmen. 
There was, at one time, a political disability attached to the majority 
of the people, on account of the religion they professed* It wag 
removed. In idl other respects they were upon the same footing 
as their fellow-citizens in this country; and when that disability 
was removed, they were, to all intents and purposes, and. in every 
imaginable way, the copartners of Englishmen and Scotchmen in 
constitutional liberty* If in anything they were not equal, it was in 
their burdens, for they were relieved from many taxes which press 
upon the energies of the people In the other two divisions of the 
Empire, The sum of their grievances, as alleged by the Mltchels and 
Meaghcrs, stripped of all verbiage and mystification, seemed to be 
that a Parliament did not sit in College-green* This was certainly 
a debatable point, but it was not a point that justified appeals to 
violence. It was, moreover, a point that argued but little for the 
intelligence of the Irish. Edinburgh was once the sent of an inde¬ 
pendent legislation* If the Scotch, lik© the Irish, had chosen to 
whine and howl that there was no longer a Parliament in that city, 
instead of devoting themselves to the pursuits of honest industry, to 
the development of their resources, and the enjoyment to the fall of 
an equality in every respect with the larger and more important 
division of the kingdom, it is likely that Scotland would have been 
as miserable as Ireland now is. But Scotchmen were more wise. 
They were awake when Irishmen slept . They wrought when Irish¬ 
men only grumbled. They improved opportunities whilst Irishmen 
neglected them. They looked after realities and profited by them, 
whilst Irishmen dreamed, speculated, groaned, and wept about 
theories which were of no imaginable consequence either to Irish¬ 
men or any one else. Not even Air. O’Connell, immeasurably su¬ 
perior in honesty (though he had not much of that to spare) and in 
ability to the conceited firebrands who succeeded him, ever devoted 
any pains to shew his countrymen the truth, and prove to them, 
not only that **he who would he free himself mast strike the blow," 
but that he who would be happy must deserve to be so, and that the 
nation which would prosper must he peaceful* industrious, pains¬ 
taking, and persevering. He taught them to rely upon others and 
not upon themselves for aid; while his successors, following up 
hie preaching in that respect, have given them an additional dogma 
to reflect upon and carry out—that it is proper on the part of a 
people to accept enormous relief amid enormous misery, and repay 
the boon with enormous hatred, vituperation, and ingratitude. 

The recant proceedings of those men made it the imperative dntv 
of the Government to prevent them from doing the mischief which 
their words and acts alike pointed at. In mercy to them, and to 
the people whom they have deluded, they will be kept out of harm's 
way for a time. Should, after all, a rebellion ensue, all its horrors 
will be infinitely less than the horrors which would have befallen 
unhappy Ire land, if her democrats and agitators had by any chance 
succeeded in thqir object of freeing Ireland from her partnership 
with Great Britain—a partnership which to Great Britain is neither 
very profitable nor very comfortable, but which to Ireland is es¬ 
sential.

FRANCE. 

With tho restoration ef peace and order In PfirU, aud their establishment on a 
secure basis, under tho firm, albeit absolute and military role of General 
Cavoignac, the news from across tho Channel becomes Ibss Interesting and excit¬ 
ing, There Is la fact* this woufc, quite a duarth or atlrrlng Incident, such m our 
sdvicca since the formatlnn of the Republic up to the present time have not 
failed to present. This state of things augurs well for the ftiture, and wo trust it 
may became permanent. 

The Assembly bos voted tho project of decree respecting tho mobflteatlan of 
300 battalions of National Gnartts—respecting wlilcli tho committee to whom tho 
qiLostion hud been referred staled In its report that with tho QovEmmeut it be¬ 
lieved In tho maintenance of peace; but R considered that under catering dr- 
cams!uncos Franco ought to t»e powerfally armed, in order to maintatn fntact 
her share of tho Influence which so Justly bslongs to her In Europe. Never- 
thelci-ss, the committee was of opinion that this force, organized regularly, ought 
to he employed not only In case Franco should have to fear a lore fern Invasion; 
but likewise on all occasions when U might become necessary toreprew anarchy, 
should it again menace public order and security. 

The Commission appointed by tho National Asaumbly to prepare a const!tu- 
tfen, assembled on Monday, together with the fifteen delegates chosen by the 
standing committees nf ttT& Assembly. If. Aimaitd Marrast, tho Preriaent of 
the Assembly, haring attended the arneting, was offered the Presidency of the 
Commission, but he declined the honour, preferring to retain the function of 
reporter. M> do Comwutn ccmaequentiy continued to fill the FresldenCe chair 
in the Cuiutulsslnn, 

The proceedings were merely of a formal nature. Thn President of tho Com¬ 
mission simply demanded of each dotogate to rtato the observations ho had to 
make on each article of the project* After which the amendments proposed by 
the delegates wore laid before the members or the Cuminhsion. 

It was anderstcrf-nl Umt tho Carommion would foritiwlih set about preparing 
their dual report. 

Tho Moniitur publishes the ret unis of tire Customs duties collected during 
the month of June last, which only amounted to 5,890,163 francs. They had 
produced In the correapondlug mouth of 1346, l’i, 613,679 ftnues; aud Ln 1847* 
11,18D,1G3. Tire receipts of the customs during the tirst half of the year 1848 
did not exceed 3A150.&&4 francs, whilst they bad amounted in i846to74*67G*7fiO; 
and In 1847 to 65,96C*675* 

The number of French and foreign vessels that entered the harbours of France 
during the she months of 1848* ending on the 1 st July, was 6396, measuring 
881,596 tons, or 3906 vessels and 521,373 tons lesa than In 1847* The number 
of veasels of all countries, which salted from French harbours during the lost 
atit months was 5684 * measuring 670,303 tons* or fils vessels and 94,884 tons 
leas than In 1&4?. 

The new loan waa said toliava caused much dissatisfaction among some of 
the monied Interest In Paris. The holders of Treasury Bon da* and tho depo¬ 
sitor* In the savings banks, who had been compelled to receive Five per Cent, 
Stock at 80* and Three per Cent. Stock at 56* tor their property, complained 
that they had baju sacrificed to the bankem* subscribers to the loan of 1847, 
who are now to have Five per Cent. Sloth at 75L with other advmitiiirea. 

The Tarte Savings Bonk wjis literally boslagod on Tuesday with claimant de¬ 
sirous to convert their deposits Into Government atock. 

The bill ter regulating, or rather for the very proper suppreiatoo, of too 
clubs* which engaged the National Assembly on Tuesday Wednesday last, 
has been passed.

Mokdat.—M* Marrast, on taking tho chair, read an Address to the Assem¬ 
bly, lu which ho stated that the honour It had conferred upon him by culling 
him to tho Iteddcncy, hupoacd upon him dudes too burdensome, if his col¬ 
leagues did not grunt him thetr co-operation. He thcmrecemuiundetl the As¬ 
sembly to observe that calmness and dignity which were particularly neces¬ 
sary at a moment when It was coiled upon to deliberate on tho constitution 
so impatiently expected by the country. In conclusion, bo passed a glowing 
uiilt-irium ou M. Dom&s. 

General Cavaignuc next escended the tribune, and annouucGa that he

tion of the whola Assembly—to prepare ft decree destined to provide for the 
family of il. Bomba. Aa sen of ft general Of brigade, Jti, Burnba woa entitled

CftvaWac asked the Assembly to Increawe that pension to 3M0f, to favour of 
Ida mother* and declare it reversible ou the head of hm sister* Elvira Domfci* 
The Aisrembly voted the decree by acclamation.

which lie expressed surprise at the electors of Corsica li&vhig chorea 1dm for 
their i eprarentadvc, after ho had resigned u poet offered to him by three de¬ 
portments. The same reason, however, which had imposed upon him that sa¬ 
crifice, obliged him again to renounce that honour until the period when his 
presence Ln Franco should not be token advantage of by the enemies of the Ho* 
public to disturb its peace* There who charged Him with ambition wuaM then 
recognise their error. Ho concluded by offering his most ardent wishes for the 
welfare of tire Republic* „ ^ _ . . , .

Naples,—A dvices to tho 17th mention that, Immediately on the arrival at

tion of boat capable of carrying arms. Tho raJJors employed la the coasting 
trado* aoEouly at Naples but at all the islands, were Impressed, Every expe¬ 
dient was resorted to to augment the army. It was calculated that the force* 
available far the Invasion consisted of about 20,000 troops in Calabria, about 
50CMJ in the fortress of Meraiufo and (3000 or 8000 at Naples. It waa expected 
that the embarkation would take place about the 20th, and that the forces would 
be lauded at Syracuse. The Liberal party wero In high spirits, feeling a confi¬ 
dence that the Sicilians, aided by Charles Albert* would certain Jy prevail against 
the Royal troops. It was expected that a British steamer would bring the now 
King from Genoa to Sicily. The British merchants resident In Naples were

GERMAN STATES. 

Fa a nut out.— On the 22d Imt, tho Assembly at Frankfort tilecu&scd the report 
presented by M, da Wydonbmgh, la tho name of the international commission* 
qn addresses and petitions concerning German relations with ItuB&la. FrancOi and 
the United States. The conclusfoim arrived at by tho com mission led to a recom¬ 
mendation to tire National Assembly to adhere to tho principle of foreign policy 
bora below set forth;— 

+, That our foreign policy should, before uU things, watch OTor the ho¬ 
nour and rights of Germany* is u principle which scarcely needs to bo 
specially and positively recognised. It lives in the breast of the entire peo¬ 
ple, Who are liappy in being reunited lu a single state, and who am ready 
to make any sacrifice* required by the country for the maintenance 
of tlie Er liberty and unity. But tlie commlraion thinks It right that It should be 
sin established point that Germany will never allow tire interference of any 
foreign slate tn the Independent development of its Internal affair*, ami that It 
will never lend assistance in the attuggte of particular states for political princi¬ 
ples. In tlie energetic execution of these principles, which ail civilised people 
have adopted or will adopt, lies tho guarantee tiiat tho movement which has 
seized tlie entire world, and which has scarcely any precedent Initiatory* will nut 
degenerate Into a universal struggle of nations, and tirnt It will not lo&e its most 
valuable acquisitions. Let us hope, rather, that the peace of Europe will be es¬ 
tablished upon foundations which will never again he shaken.'* 

Tire conclusions ofthe cemraisslou wore nnauimoualy adopted* 

The commission then made another motion to the following effect:— 

The National Aarambly decrees that to the eastern frontier ol Germany there 
shall be sent German forces in sufflclent number to put them, in u position to 
oppose any hostile forces, 

M. Jliedermtuin proposed to add an amendment to the effect that, the above- 
mentioned measure be left to the province of the central power, who should 
carry it out with due regard to tho augmentation of tho army, already resolved 
upon by the Aiiscmbiy. The original motion, as well os tho amendment of M* 
Bkedei mona, were agreed to. 

Lastly, the commission made the following motion:— 

1. The Assembly will pass to tho order of the day on proposition* for tho con* 
elusion of treaties offensive and defensive with different states, % Tho National 
Assembly declares it sees nothing but what is natural in the recognition of 
France m a Republic, and fire sending to Paris of n *Minfetor for Germany at the 
time of tho approaching regulation of the legations for Germany." 

This motion waa ummlmouNly adopted.

On Sunday evening, Smith O’Rrleu and Thomas Franctn Meagher reached 
Carrick-ou-Sulr at half-past five in tiro everting from Kilkenny ; on their route, 
at Colton* they addressed thousands* and told them for Rio present not to inter¬ 
fere with the police or soldiery, as they should perform their duties, but when 
the word Hlrould be given, not to spare any who opposed them* 

Monday being fair-day ut Garrick, the town was filled with conn try-peon le, 
and Messrs. Meagher and O’Brfonfoddressed the people In a more violent and 
Determined strain than heretofore, stating their determination not to be arrested 
under the pro virions of the new act. Both gentlemen were armed with pistols 
which they are determined to uso to the uvent of m attempt being nuide to 
capture them; they stated that they had spent their fortunes In the people’s 
cause, and \would hazard their lives for .their aervEoe, and would now 
throw them solves on the protection of the people. A numbe r of Waterford 
men* who were at Garrick doing business at tiro fair, begged of Mr. 
Meagher to come to Waterford, uud that his fellow-citizens would pro¬ 
tect him from arrest; but Sir. Smith O'Brien would not listen to that 
proposal* and brought nfi Mr. Meagher to Cashai* or, us other* said, to Tippe¬ 
rary. Wliltot this wzeno woe enacting, 200 of the ard Buffs marched In from the 
camp at Besborough and took up their position in the barraclu. Few of either

thing to disturb tiie peace of the town, but busing 3s totally at u stand-still*

hour. In Waterford tho Clubs are described as being well organised* and 
armed* and ready to act when called upon. The people seemed reckless 
from poverty t groups of working men might bo mtn in tho streets by 
day and night* discussing politics and retailing the novra of tiie 
hour. Tho Quueuto forces to Waterford wore about 1000 strong. The Rh<tda~ 
man thus steam-vessel was in tiro river, and it was proposed to form two cam pa 
on the hilln which command tho town. Id the country the peasants were arm¬ 
ing; at Cbblnamutk so much timber had been cut down for pike-lion dies* that 
the Clubs would not allow any more to bo taken tiienso to compassion to tho 
proprietor. At Meant Bolton the owner had It cut and left outside the wood for 
the people, to prevent further waste; nt Lord Waterford's demesne more ush 
trees bud been cut down, and the useless parts left behind. All the anvils in the 
country ring with pike-forging* and every weapon to put in order for the fray* 

The telegraphic despatch which reached town on Thursday afternoon relative 
to the outbreak was os follows* 

“The whole of tho south of Ireland is to rebellion. 

“Tho station at Thurtea to uti fire, tho ralh* for sevein] miles tom up* and

fib the Editor,) 

The present year has been must favourable for tho observation of the course of 
the potato disease, as tiro roHanttlc which I have developed in xny treatise on tiro 
subject has been shown in the most extraordinary manner. 

Up to a recent period, the plants exhibited a must healthy appearance, being 
free from disease to every respect till tho destructive insect settled upon the ill- 
fated plant and inflicted the drat Injury. 

Where tho Insect pierces the leaf the tissue fa damaged ? and the baneful effect 
la more readily produced to dark weather, when there is not auffictetit tight to 
cuuAe tho leaves to perform their functions. The Injured tfasuu then dtea* 
and becomes covered by a forest of little fungi, which have been well de¬ 
scribed by Herkely ; and subsequently the tuber and huulm become infested 
by those other fungi which years ago have been elaborately figured by the 
distinguished Martins. Ttie drop of yeast scarce causes leas wonderful changes 
in the vat ef wort, than thu puncture of the aphis toflfeta upon tiie economy 
nf tho potato plant; end wldlst a sufllcleucy of the insect; will destroy tha 
plant under every circumstance, a very few will effect the name Injury where 
Oarhueftf favours tiro result. 

At tiro present time* although considerable damage has been done to certain 
kinds or potatoes, tho hjury lias not extended to nil the sorts : and* therefore. If 
the Insect speedily leaves tiie plant* no considerable toss will bo attrtatoed,

The new vessel has been named In honour of the Duke of Devonshire; and, 
previous to the ship selling for Now York, a large party of visitors wore enter¬

A very fine tinted representation of the Devonshire, drawn and lithographed 
by Hr. T. Gr* Dutton, has lately been published in illustration of the noble bear¬ 
ing of the Ship*

We have been favoured by a Correspondent at Halifax with the accompanying 
sketch of Ireland island, Bermuda, showing the different localities of the Con¬ 
vict Hulks, and the principal poLnts of the Island, The litilk Dromedary, the

PICTURESQUE SKETCHES OE LONDON, 
PAST AND PRESENT* 

BY THOMAS MILLER. 

CHAPTER VL—LONDQN DOCKS, SAILORS, AND EMIGRANTS* 

There are people still living who can remember when Blackball Reach 
had for its laud-marks grim gibbet-paste, on which the bodies of pirates 
bleached and blackened in the storm and sunshine* ** making night 


hideous:’ when the whole neighbourhood beyond the Tower, instead of 
being the home of mighty ships—that seem to sleep after their perilous 
voyages in the Docks—was a nest of ill-famed streets and {longerons alleys* 
unsafe even in the open noon of day, and at night trodden with dread by 
the peaceful passenger; when theTower Handeta disgorged their lawless 
inhabitants to witness an execution on Tower-hill, attack a preas-gang, 
or rescue some sailor from the daws of justice* to be borne m triumph 
to the nearest tavern, and amid flip, fiddling, and dancing, bid defianeo 
to every Charley that for a mile around drawled out the passing hours. 
In those days it was not uncommon for the drum to beat an alarm, and 
a troop or two of soldiers to turn out of the Tower, to quell the brawls 
which arose between the land-lubbers and the sons of the salt sea: nor 
were the military always successful in putting down these midnight 
riots; for whether Jack hunted a Jew, or unroofed a crimping-house, he 
would not give in (unless overpowered) until he had chased down the 
one and demolished the other. 

Even now, after all the alterations and improvements which have 
been made* there arc places in the neighbourhood of Sk Katharine and 
the London Docks which present almost the same features as they did a 
century or two ago* No contrast can bo greater than that between the 
West and the East end of London; the very I ictuses, dresses, and language 
of the inhabitants are different; for in the latter their talk is “all of 
ships,” Here at the shop-doors dangle oil-case nori-westers, with long 
fan-tails behind, telling that, unlike the hats in Bond-street, these are 
made to keep a billow that breaks over the head out of the nape of the 
neckj while the rough pilot-coats, that hang like skins about the tent 
of a Russian bear-hunter, proclaim that they were never made to be 
worn in. “a lady’s chamber,” but to be donned where the winds whistle, 
and the sea-gulls scream, and the big w aves come roaring after each 
oth er like a thousand unchained hungry lions. TTiere you see the gaudy 
handkerchief which Jack loves to leave a little out, that it may be seen 
from his bluejacket pocket; those slops, in the whiteness of which he 
prides himself; and the checked shirt, that he delights to throw open 
about his sun-browned throat, while he leaves the Fringed corners of his 
black neckerchief to flutter like a pennon in the breeze. There is a fore¬ 
castle smell about the streets, a minglemcnt of junk and mm, tar and 
biscuit, casks, ropes, and tobacco, not unpleasant to One who ia proud of 
the wave-washed island on which be was bom. 

But the grandeur of this locality is its magnificent Docks—wateiy 
squares surrounded with high-piled warehouses, and filled with gigantic 
shipping* the tall masts of which tower proudly above the loftiest 
houses. Hero you ace keels that have ploughed up the stormy Atlan¬ 
tic—sails hanging idly in the breeze that have been filled with the spicy

gales of India—figure# ahead that have looked down into icy seas, or 
bent listlessly where the wave* of the warm Mediterranean roll, and 
the arch-backed dolphins tumble. It make* the heart of a true-born 
Englishman, although he is not worth a groat, boat high when ho en¬ 
ters the gates that open upon such a scene of naval grandeur; and we 
forgive those old aoa-kingR, while we gasic around, who nil but con- 
nuered our country, and I stand ed their Danish with our Saxon blood. 
Warriors of old, who guided their snorting sea-horses along the road of 
the swans, and swept the stormy Baltic to stand face to face with Alfred 
tho Great, and to be at last scattered like the ocean spray by the arm of 
the Island King. Fence to thair uumeal they were the first who 
taught our grey forefathers that England's wooden wall* are its safest 
bulwarks. 

Many a house had to be levelled with the earth, and many an oil 
grave-yard to be dug up, before these mighty Docks could be made; 
even the ancient hospitals founded by Queen’ Matilda seven centuries 
ago, was demolished ; mid where oft the Sabbath boll had tolled, and the 
old Londoners paused to glance at tho ‘■narrow beds" where their 
fathers slept, or wore the stones hollow with their passing feet—all 
were doomed tube swept away, to make room For tho “guardian giants 
that prowl around our coasts." From this, good come : living London 
had not room enough for her dead; and the green hills that look down 
upon h er glory were then turned into sepulchres; rural cemeteries sprang 
up, and there her departed sons and daughters were borne; instead of 
pent-up citv church yards, our metrojKilis became .surrounded with 
great Gardens of Graves, which look like true resting-places. Over 
audit a poet might fancy, their peaceful spirits w ould linger, and look be¬ 
yond, to where tho vast city grad ually grows in length and breadth, from 
year to year, until, m is not improbable, it may at last extend its foot to 
"the edge of tho open ocean. 

St. Katherine’s, and tho two adjoining London Docks—which alone 
cover a space of more than one hundred acre*—will contain six hun¬ 
dred ships, and near half a million tons of goods. In tho West India 
Docks, which lie nearer BlackwalL, merchandise valued at twenty millions 
of money has nt one time been deposited on the wharfs, in the ware¬ 
houses, and in the vaults below. The wealth of London lies not in 
her gaudy shops; beyond the Tower stand her great storehouses- A 
stranger who passes on the river, on bis way to Greenwich or Graves¬ 
end, secs but little of these enormous treasuries—the top of the 
tall masts alone point out their ** whereabouts." These Docks are 
surrounded by high, strong-built walls—so lofty, that it would bo a 
puazle to a moat expert thief to scale them, oil account of the finish 
of the coping i and, if even this were accomplished, a greater diM ■ 
colty would remain in getting over the bulky goods which are fltored 
witliin. The walls which encircle the two London Docks were erected 
at a cost of sixty-five thousand pound*; and no less a sum than four 
millions was expended in completing this vast establishment. The 
East India Docks are at Black waLI, and our Engraving is a view of 
the old blast House in the Export Dock—one of the most promi¬ 
nent objects in tho landscape, when the eye is turned in that direc¬ 
tion, either from tho summit of Ono-troe-mB, in Greenwich Park, or 
as seen from tho right of the Observatory. 

It will be readily imagined that such improvements as these were not 
made without meeting with much opposition, for it is on record that the 
cargo of a targe vessel often took up five or six weeks before it wna de¬ 
livered, For before the Docks were made, goods were put into lighters 
at black walk and carried to the old-fashioned quays near linden-bridge, 
and aider a long delay, occasioned even by the Custom House autho¬ 
rities themselves, they were linally removed to the different warehouses 
in the city. In these good old. times river robbeiy was n thriving trade; 
and we have more than rumour for asserting that many a fortune was 
made by this systematic plunder. No marvel that when tho iirat inroad 
was made on these old vested righto, a clamour was raised by carmen, 
porters, lightermen, and all the abend ot water-side labourers, who 
benefited more or lees by the very difficulties which attended the removal 
Of merchandise, and that from Wapping to Westminster the whole 
aquatic populace raised their voices against tire dock crusades. Even 
the Trinity House itself murmured about an invasion of interests, and 
contended that the Royal Dock at Deptford would be ruined. City 
limits and city privilege* were all in all to these sticklers for old 
rights; nor have mutters altered much even up to the present day, when 
a proposed improvement in the sewerage of the city seems to create as 
much alarm us if all iU charters and privileges were about to be under¬ 
mined and swallowed up. All these claims and demands had to be 
bought up* and thousands were expended in silencing these clamours 
before die Docks were commenced ; for there were legal quays beside the 
river, and moorages within, and landing-places that time out of mind 
had their little perquisites. And when all the Joneses, Smiths, and 
Tomkinaes were satisfied, the mighty work began to proceed ; and thus 
in time spread out and rose up those bread city basins and high-piled 
warehouses, which am the pride of England, and the envy of so many 
eorroundkg nations. 

But It is not the removal and storing of merchandise, m which m 
mauv as live thousand men are sometimes employed, that alone en¬ 
grosses this eve of the observant stranger when he visits the Docks. 
There are other scones of painful or pleasurable interest which fell upon 
the eye and heart, according to the JuurnWF of the man. One of those 
it is our province to portray. 

About A year ago we dined on board a largo vessel in SL Katherine’s 
Docks, which had been chartered to carry out emigrants to America, 
it was a few Java before the ship was announced to sail. The owner 
was a worthy gentleman, the party who had hired the ship needy ad- 
venturers, whose references had blinded all inquiries, and who were only 
found out when interference whs of no legal avail. For days “ lured 
vagabonds" had been “ touting" at every wharf and public-house in the 
neighbourhood ; and the call, although not so openly made as that of an 
omnibus conductor, only varied inasmuch os H America” was substituted 
for H Charing-cross” or “ Paddington.* They took passengers for almost 
whatever they could get, paying no regard as to whether or not they 
Bad stores to tat the voyage, or would starve before they were half over 
the Atlantic. “ 11 wo* a sorry sight," end the law had no power beyond 
that of making a fewr.armngementa that would contribute to the com¬ 
forts of the poor paspengers. 

We went down Sfto the hold, which was ft tied up with berths, if such 
a name may be given to the tiers of twplaned deal bomb, which rc- 
ficmblfldaiargi' hen-coops piled one above another; and stretched on 
mtiSm 3 upon these wooden gridirons we saw many of the emigrants 
waiting wearily for tho appointed hour that was fixed for sailing. It 
made the 1 reart sicken to picture that hold, when out at sen with tho 
hatches battened down, and the vessel driving through a storm. There 
were then little children running about, and playing at ImlB-ond-wek 
amongst the hales and casks—fair-haired^ed-clieeked, blue-eyedbeauties, 
wht« ww-biunt arrosand necks told that they had had the ruuof theopen 
village-green ; and such we found hod been the case when we enquired 
Bora father arid mother were fmi* specimens of our English peasantry; 
the grandfather and grandmother ware also there. They had Iixed up 
die very clock in the hold, which had for yours ticked in the old fa¬ 
miliar cottage, and brought a few choice t lowers in pots which ikey 
Boped to plant about their new home in a foreign land. An antique 
oak table, that had been in the family for many generations, was also 
doomed to bear them company in tboir long voyage. The old grand- 
father, whoso cotmteniinco would have enraptured an artist, sat iff a deep 
P^nbrondt-Iike shadow at one corner of the hold, with the family table 
opened on his knee. They appeared to be well provided for the voyage* 
and were full of “ heart and hope.” _ . _ , .. .,. 

Another comer was occupied by a wretebed-looking Inali family. All 
excc iJting throld countryman and hiafamflyaeemedte regard this tniserable 
group with an eye of suspicion more than of pity, for it was whispered 
that a few biscuits and a little oatmeal was aU the revision they had 
Win for tho voyage. The captain, however, who had hail name expe¬ 
rience, considered that they were amply prodded, and he had made the 
sHcEit in!|uiiy- A bag of coarse bread, which had Wen cut into 
slices and then browned in the oven, had that morning, he stud, been 
Hent on board to assist them—it was the gilt of u lew poor Irish people 
lived in the borough of Southwark. This bread, he mil with a 
little suet, made excellent puddings; and he promi.swl that 1 at should 
not Inuk tho latter ingredient. It adored that there woro many 
little tliidgs which a trilling hand raiglil do (in board a ship, and, na ho 
rtaid, “ We never yet allowed one to starve; but this is a queer lot Jr 
nr* remember rightly, the number of jjassengcra were nofcHufocient to 
K'all for the iaterforeuce of the Emigration Commissioners. The Sh ip had 
Been chartered to carry a cargo, a part of which, from some cause or 
vther, yraM withhold, so the speculators endeavoured to make up the loss 


by passengers. Our attention was too much engrossed in conversation 
with these who were about to quit their native country, it might be, for 
ever, to enter fully into these legal matters, id though wc believe the 
number at last became sufficient to call for this interference. 

To our feelings there was something very revolting in married and 
single, young and old, being thus placed together in the hold of a ship, 
which was never intended for the accommodation of passengers; ,ind 
wo think that Government might be w orse employed than in applying 
a remedy to these evils. We fear that many who leave our chores with 
refined and delicate feelings, who, however humble may bo their station 
in life, ore gifted with that innate feeling of modesty which in no 
country has a more natural growth than in our own—that many such 
are doomed to quit England, and, through circumstances over which 
they have no control, land great losers m these never-to-be-recovered 
gifts, 

A voyage to America in the hold of a vessel, fitted up temporarily as 
we have described, m a scene not likely to fall under the eye of a popu¬ 
lar author; it con only be sketched by getting the information from 
some poor im fortunate fellow who has been bumped and thumped 
against those huge beams which run inside tW bertha, and rolled 
about like a barrel, and has been lucky enough to otfllivo all such pitch¬ 
ing and tossing, A state cabin, in the roughest gale, must be a palace 
compared with such a place in a moderate calm, and a common 
steerage, rendered as comfortable os circumstances will permit, a per¬ 
fect Elysium. Picture those who have never in all their lives encoun¬ 
tered a stronger gale than needed a safe hand to keep on the hat, turning 
nil sorts of imaginable somersaults—and who never beard any noiae 
louder over their heads than when some relative fell down drunk upon 
the chamber floor at a feast-time, first listening to the tramp, and thun¬ 
der, and hurly-burly on dock, when the ship is struck by a heavy sea, 
and every timber groans again in its deep agony. No regular steward 
to assist—no servant to attend—berth mooning to berth—child squeal¬ 
ing against child—one praying here, another cursing there—tho hold 
all but dark, and, where a glimmering of light is seen, the sea rushing 
In like a cataract—and, over all, the wind howling like a raging demon, 
and every wave knocking at the ship's ride* and demanding admittance; 
and, if sach is not a picture of a certain nameless place upon earth, it 
would convey no bar! idea of one upon the sea. 

And those dear children nestled together, with their little arms en¬ 
circling one another In the cheerless berths—their mother incapable of 
comforting them! It gave one the heartache to think of what they 
were destmed to endure. We pictured them in their restless slumber, 
murmuring like bees—dreaming of their cottage, then far away—or, 
dizzy with tho rocking of the ship, recalling the swing which hung be¬ 
tween the apple-trees in the garden, and unconscious of the danger with 
which they were surrounded. Then we remembered Him who “tem- 
pereth the* wind to the atom Iamb* — 


Who moves in a mysterious way 
His wonders to perform; 

Who plant* his footsteps on the sea, 

And rides Upon tho storm. 

Wearily over the wilderness of waters would they journey onward. 
Like birds with rallied plumage* that feel themselves strangers when they 
have alighted upon a new land, tho wild waste beside the ocean-shore 
where they landed woidd at first be trod with on aching heart; there 
would not be one old familiar object to comfort them. The Indian who 
carries the bones of his relatives to the far forest which he is driven into, 
and there erects a new hut, leaves scarcely an object of regret behind, 
for bis hopes ore anchored upon his great hunting-ground beyond the 
grave. One who soars into higher and purer realms in the dreams of 
an hereafter, is chained to earth by greater regrets. The very tree in 
the centre of the village-green wears a new charm when seen through 
the H mind + 5 eye ” from a far distance* and the humblest objects become 
more endeared to us when they are no longer within our grasp. 
Brighter and broader landscapes may hurst upon the view in a new 
world beyond the ocean; but never shall we again find those familiar 
features In the scene which we have left behind, oft

Of other days around us.

LONDON, SATURDAY JULY *1% 1848. 

The subjects o. Emigration and Colonisation, and incidentally 
tho management of the Colonial Office generally t were brought 
under the notice of the House of Commons on Tuesday night, by 
Sir William Molesworth. The speech of the honourable baronet is 
allowed, on ojl hands, to have been one of the most brilliant and 
useful made during the present session. The questions upon 
which he touched ore among the most interesting and important 
that can bo raised in the present circumstances of this country and 
of the world, as wo endeavoured to show in our publication of Inst 
week; and Sir William Molesworth, by devoting his energies, time, 
and talents to the mastery of the matter in all its details, lias ren¬ 
dered a public service of no small magnitude. The terms of Sir 
Willi anre motion merely went to affirm the opinion of the House, 
“that tho colonial expenditure of the British empire demands 
inquiry, with a view to its reduction $ and that, to accomplish this 
object, and to secure greater contentment and prosperity to the 
colonists, they ought to be invested with larger powers for the ad¬ 
ministration of their local affairs.” But the details which it was 
necessary to give iff support of the proposition opened up 
far wider and more important subjects of inquiry than 
the theoretical advantages of self-government. Emigration, by 
the voluntary expatriation of labourers and small capitalists, had 
steadily increased from year to year during the lost twenty years. 
The number of emigrants, principally to Canada, the United States, 
and Australia, amounted, in the year 1832, to upwards of 60,0DU 
souls; in 1837 the numbers were 66,000; in 1840, they were 
86,000; and, in 1847, they were 121,000. Still our eoloniefl 
suffered for want of labour; aud tho United States of America re¬ 
ceived a large proportion of those available hands, wliteh, if they 
had been turned towards Canada or Australia, would have greatly 
increased tho prosperity of these colonics. Six William Moles¬ 
worth drew the conclusion from the valuable facts that ho 
brought before tbe notice of this country, that tree trade and emi¬ 
gration ought to be the sole objects held in view in reference to tho 
colonies, in concurrence with maintaining the sovereignty of Great 
Britain over them; and urgod upon the Government the folly 
of spending £4,olh) ( oOO annually upon navid and military 
establishments to defend these scantdy-peopled countries, while, 
at an expenditure of half the amount, applied to the 
purposes of systematic colonisation, we could enable the colonics to 
defend themselves by the strong arms of wealth-producing la¬ 
bourers. Emigrants could be conveyed to the Cape of Good Hope, 
for instance, at an expense of £10 par head, whilst every soldier 
wc kept there coat this country £60 per annum ; so that if the 
money spent upon the 1500 unproductive soldiers we maintained 
there were spent in emigration, we could add 9000 men every year 
to the population of the colony, every one of whom, instead of an 
unproductive soldier, would bo a productive tiller of the ground, 
and better able to defend the territory, in case of need, than tho 
number of soldiers by whom they were now displaced. At this 
late period of the session there is little or no prospect of any tan¬ 
gible result from the motion of Sir William Molesworth ; but, as 
the discussion upon it has been adjourned for a fortnight, wc may 
indulge the hope that the debates which have already taken place 
upon it, and those which will ensue when it again comes before the 
House, will bo the means of awakening an interest in, and spread¬ 
ing abroad a knowledge of the subject, that will be extensively and 
permanently useful at a future time. 

The most important foreign news of the week is the invasion of 
Sicily by the King of Naples. The Sicilians having chosen a Con¬ 
stitution for tJiemseivcfl iu defiance of the power of the King of Na¬ 
ples, have gone a step further, imd chosen a King in the person of 
the Duke of Genoa, the second son of Charles Albert, King of Sar¬ 
dinia, The Prince has accepted the honour, though he has not 
yet made his appearance in Sicily; and the King of Naples, having 
put down Insurrection m his own capital by the aid of the 
rowi and tbe eight hours* plunder which he granted them, has turned 
Ids energies towards the rcconquest of the most lovely but most dis¬ 
satisfied portion of his old dominions. All the steam-frigates and gun- 
Wats in the bay and harbour of Naples have been ordered to form'part 
of the invading expedition; and all the commercial steam-boats, u£ 
well as every description of vessel fit to War arms and troops, have 
been seized for the same purpose, A forced loan upon all residents 
in Naples—British and other foreigners, as well as natives—had 
Wen levied to pay the cost of the expedition. Upon their side* the 
Sicilians arc well prepared. They knew the risks the^ ran in 
throwing off' the allegiance of the King of Naples; and it is not

improbable that this war may lead, not to the re-conouest of Sicily 
by Naples, but to the cod quest of Naples by Sicily. The finances of 
Naples are not in a good state for war. There is already a deficit 
of ten millions of ducats* ha reported by a commission of enquhy 
that met on the 15th lust. The British merchants have paid their 
money under protest* and it will probably bo restored to them, os 
it has been levied not only in defiance of international justice, but 
of the stipulation of a treaty between the two countries. Civil and 
foreign warfare and domestic dissension are thus paramount in 
every part of Italy. The Tope is losing popularity, and the King 
of Sardinia is gaining it; and France and England look on uncer¬ 
tain of, but deeply interested in the result, whether as affecting one 
or all of the kingdoms of the peninsula. 


THE THEATRES , 

HER MAJESTY'S. , 

On Saturday and Tuesday VardPs "Nino" was performed. Mdlfe. CnmllL 
succeeding Mdlle. Abbadta in tho character of Abigail?. Mdlfe. Cnivelli sang 
and acted with great spirit, and was altogether the best representative of the 
part who has yet been heard in this country. Ifelletti's Orotfape proves the ad- 
vantage of ffrat-mte artists Ailing secondary parte. He gave it great dignity and 
importance, The great treat, however, in “ Nino 1 * la tho splendid assumption of 
the warrior by CotetiL His A'ijm ranis with his Noge Fosc&ri In excellence. Ho 
invests Nino with grandeur, and ho develops the tragi* ritaatfoiu with surpassing 
skill and power. Nothing could be finer than his fierce menaces against the 
conquered city, when ho enters in triumph; and in the scene where jVtao is 
struck with lightning, and he becomes a maniac, he produced a groat sensation. 
HJs pathetic appeals to Abigails to spam bis daughter's life also affected the au¬ 
ditory. His singing is most impressive, not only in the airs but In the delivery 
of the recitatives. The " Chorus of Captives" In this opera Li a touching com¬ 
position, which always creates a great effect. 

On Thursday, for the extra night, Mdlfo* Lind repeated her exquisite perform¬ 
ance of Lucia. —— 

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. 

Meyerbeer's u Huguenots" was repeated: on Saturday and Tcie&day; and great 
as was the sensation created on its first representation on the command night 
no Thursday week, it has increased tenfold on every performance, For years 
there htw been no lyric work produced on the Italian stage which seems more 
thoroughly to reuse the sympathies of an audience and to command their fixed 
attention. Although the opera lasts Mftfly four hours, the amateurs remain to 
hear the last notes, spell-bound by the dramatic interest of the story, by the 
exquisite lieauty of the music* and by the powerful execution of Hbitfera and in¬ 
strumentalists. The Duchess of Kent, who was present on the State visit, was 
again in her Majesty’* box on Tuesday; and the Duchess of Cambridge, with the 
Princess Mary, besides a long Rat of teddon, also occupied boxes. We never re¬ 
collect to have witnessed a greater muster of literary, scientific, and artiatica! 
celebrities as at these nights of the “ Huguenot* The mue en trine Is Indeed a 
study of Jtseif; rarely have more pictorial and dloramic beauties been displayed. 

We have been much struck with one result of the performances, VVo had 
imuEincd that It would have found favour with the audiences only after repeated 
hearings, as Is generally tha case with all masterpieces, such as tlio "Don 
Giovanni,” “GulUaume Toll," u Semlramide*" "Lucrezla Borgia, 1 ' Ate.; but, on 
the contrary, (tor English public lias sdroi upon and appreciated the beauties 
of the work At once. Imtho first act Aibonr* two airs are rapturously ap¬ 
plauded ■ the first, an andautlno in nine-eight time, a delicious melody; the 
fleeond a florid and sprightly cavatina In A flat, which is nightly encored with 
fervour. Mario has in this net an elegant romance, with an accompaniment on 
the alto exquisitely executed by Mr. Hill, and a chlvalrieduo with Mdtna, Cna- 
teltsn The latter baa a brlllkut accua, opening with an andante, Interrupted 
bva captivating trio for three soprani* sung by Mdmc* Castellan, Mtlmu, Bel¬ 
lini and Mdlle. Alboul, and winding up with a sparkling cabal&tta, Marini in 
act has the celebrated Huguenot chant, and the martial wng, K Fff* 
P*f ” nightly encored, with its eccentric accompaniment of piccolo, ophieleido* 
and drum. In addition to these places there la the chorus of batgnwst* nnd 
the oath of rocaatatkm, with Its difficult unaccompanied quataor, sung by Too- 
bLirinl. TagllaflM, Mario, and Marini. 

Tim miwlc in the second act Increases In Interest- There is the fiery " Rata- 
nlau” eountets, sung by Lav] A, and the Chorus or Huguenots* nightly encored ; 
the Litany of the fomate Catholic devotees, admirably chanted; and the inter- 
ureAving of the themes of those two pieces. Then there Is the characteristic Bo¬ 
hemian dance; the peculiar cry of the « Couth* feu," or proclamation of the cur¬ 
few by tha Head of the Night Watch; and after tills, a most powerful duo be¬ 
tween Yi&rdot and Marini, in which Marvel Is warned that ibwul, bin master, la 
In Tjaril from assassins. This duetto always creates an hamenic sensation, bo

rini Rache, and Potanin!) and three tenors (Mario, Mol, and Soldi), brings down 
thunders of applause, and on Tuesday narrowly escaped nn encore* Nothing 
could be more beautiful than Mario ft head notes at tho end of tho septum - : ho 
ascended to C natural with wonderful effect. Tim finale of this act—the bridal 
nrecfistdon by torchlight, with military baud, and tho disputes between tho Ca¬ 
tholics and Huguenots—was surpassingly grand and impressive* 

Tho third act (hi tha origiu&l opera this is tlio fourth) on all hands is admitted 
to fee the mod sublime Inspiration of the composar. Opening with a plaintive 
romance by Vlardot* depicting VakRttorfS sorrow? nt her union with Never* 
whilst her heart is devoted to ifaowL it Is followed by a concerted piece of co¬ 
lossal proportions, in which St. Brit arranges the plan for tho massacre of the 
Protestants on the Eve Of St. Bartholomew. This eceno is superbly acted by 
Tamburiol and tha choral forces. The repudiation of tho horrible means of 
ft*iaa 5 l nation by TiKltafico, a* Never*, was emphatically declaimed i the horror 
at Valentine finely expressed by Vlardot: bat when the three monks entered to 
consecrate the arm*, and tho masses poured forth their deadly latent in quo vast 
strain of religious fervour, tho effort was electrical. Tha house seemed excited 
wood measure by the power of the music and tho grandeur of rile singers. 
Tho wonderful crescendos and gradations of sound, with the thrilling roll 
of tha muffled drams at the end, the tremendous outbreak fortissimo 
followed by the whisper of the multitude of fanatics pianissimo, defie all de* 
serin lion The encore for this piece was overwhelming; md yet after this came 
tlio duo between Vlardot and Mario, in which Valentine vainly strives to restrain 
Raoul from proceed lug to the scene of slaughter. This long, difficult, and try- 
in s duo. $o replete with dramatic intensity* Is distinguished u* much by it? me¬ 
lodious instrumentation as by Its extraordinary orchestral treatment. It is full 
at break? and episodes, descriptive of tho raryiug passions of th& characters— 
now all passionate love, and thou pathetic supplication, and finally deep despair, 
Tho acting and singing of Vlardot and Marmara beyond oil praise; It was the 
trinmpli of vocal and histrionic excellence. Ono marvellous scale at nearly 
three octaves achieved by Vtardot was cheered immensely ; and one passionate 
phrase of Mario producing cqmd delight, at the Ml of the curtain on the third 

net they woro called ffir again and egain, . .. <±t „ 

In the fourth imd last net, the minuet in tho beautiful ball-ronm, with the 
temnff of tho bells of St. Germain I'Anxerrels, announcing tho commencement 
of the miwsacre, hud an appalling effect ^ but tlio last scene, at tlio chnreh in 
wldcti Valentine and Raoul, offer tho death of News, are united by Marcel, 
niilv to meet their fate at tho handa of the fanatic Catholics, was the climax of 
exciting sensation* produced thronghout tlds performance. 

The characteristics of Meyerbeer’s work are great dramatic effect, Ita mas¬ 
sive choral proporttena, and tnelodleua inspiration. The constant recurrence of 
fhfl Lutheran Hymn Of Marvel Iv cleverly contrived, and keep? the fltoi-y per- 
nntaahy itl the memory. Tho churflcter of this Stern devoted llsiguunot Lh finely 
conceived and its attributes were never better developed than by Marini, who

EMIGRATION FIELD, FORT LINCOLN, IN SOUTH 
AUSTRALIA. 

Tma is one of tlm most beautifully situated settlements in South Aostratta. 
The harbour Ls formed by Boston Bay ; the country Is very picturesque i the 
hills around are clothed with casuarina* and. flue sheep-runs occur In the vici¬ 
nity i tlio houses are mostly built along the sand, near the water’s edge* Mr. G.F, 
Angas, In h|s account of the settlement in ld4fi* deacribes It oft deserted by the 
settlers, who bad left for Adelaide. “ Perhaps," he adds, “about thirty families 
compose tlio entire population of this little settlement, which is almost shut cut 
from the world; their only communication with the more settled and flourishing 
po rtions of the colony being by means of two small cutters that trade to Adelaide 
My last letters Informed me that for ten week* no vessel had entered tho harbour. 
Tho remote position of the district, and the outrages committed by tlie natives 
upon tins earlier settlers* are among the causes of tho dcdlno of tills otberwiaa 
favourable settlement. Yet, aft South Australia continues to progress bo rapidly* 
I doubt not hut that In a few years, Port Lincoln* with its magnificent iiarbour 
will become a place of importance and resort," 

Mr. Augusts anticipations already appear In progress of realisation. Mt\ 
G. B, Wilkinson‘a volume, ■ which contains some of the most recent Infor¬ 
mation respecting the colony, has the following gratifying passage 

14 That there nro plenty of runs suitable for farmers and their flocks, there can 
be little doubt. If we only lodge of the dract Ihnt was known a conpio of years 
ago ; but since that time the discoveries aro great, and tracts of land have been 
traversed by adventurous explorers that would mote than equal tbo whole 
country at present Inhabited by tho South Australian colonists. Around Port 
Lincoln tome fine land lias lately been found* and this at comparatively a short 
distance from Adelaide, if approached by water. The explorer in tM$ case 
was Dr* Gemmcl, In company with some friends ; and they came across a vast 
extent ofgTKlug country* before unknown to parties located in the district. It 
Is situated about seven days'journey, or one hundred aud fifty miles, towanta 
tho Interior, on tho route to Stroakv Bay: and* from in formation, from parties 
Who liavo since trovoUod farther over It. Urn prospects it holds out arc vety 
favourable. A quantity of fend suitable for pasturage ft ut present unoccupied 
around Port Lincoln, and there would bo little difficulty In obtaining runs In 
that port for smatl flocks, Tho largo sbeep proprietors must always require 
proportionabty largo tracts of country; some of them have their flocks feeding 
over from twenty to thirty square mftra of good laud? fent whoever owns not 
more than two flocks* or from 1200 to 1400 sheep, only wants two square railea 
to Feed them on; which may easily be had at no great distance from the settled 
districts. A largo pastoral "country was lately found at Rivoll Bay* whither 
many thonsiini] sheep havo already gone. This In situated about two hundred 
in lies to the south-east of Adelaide. The South Australian Company alone soot 
10,000 sheep to that part, and many Of tha large stock-owner* followed their 
example; at present* I should aay. not less than Itfe.OOO are depastured where, 
only two years and a half since* the country was perfectly unknown, ■' 

Wo learn* too, from the map appended to this volume, that not tar from Port

THE STATE BOX AT THE ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA* 

Ow the occasion of her Majesty's state visit to the Royal Italian Opera, Cerent- 
Garden, on the 20th tmt&nt* the arrangements for tho Royal accommodation 
were of a novel kind. The ordinary Box occupied by Urn Queen la in tho grand 
tier, being the third double box from the stage. The Bus !s of considerable 
dimensions, aud behind is a rie,b 1 y*furnlshed sulfe of ronmft; but, although this 
locality would hare enabled tlie Directors to have received tho Queen In a man- 
ncr worthy of the distinguished honour conferred On the establishment by her 
gracious command, It was resolved to construct a Royal Box of unprecedented 
size aud elegance, and to follow the example Of the Continental theatres, in set¬ 
ting apart tho centre of the hotuo for the reception of Royalty. For this pur¬ 
pose four boxes on tho grand tieT aud two boxes on the find (tlio tier above) 
were removed* aud thrown in to one targe Box of an oval form. Thu original 
curve of the facade of the four grand tier boxes wns changed Into convex, and 
the new Made thus extended some foot over the passage of tho pit, as far os tho 
back row of aorta* The Royal Box took In tho portion of tho corridor on the grand 
tier to the extent or eight boxc», and was then separated from the passage* on, 
each side of the grand tier by partitions* Thus tho State Box was Isolated from 
tho remainder of the house, and the grand foyer or saloon, and other rooms on Hie 
grand tier floor, were exclusively appropriated to her Jtajesty’s use* the public 
lie!tig admitted to the boxomby side doors on the Phutza side and at the Grand 
Staircase in Bow-street* Her Majesty’s approach to the State Box was thus con- 
trlved- Tho usual private entrance in Vrinoe T a-placo was reserved for the Royal 
carrtagoft, and her Majesty entered by her own private staircase. Passing through 
her own rooms, a door wan cut through into tho pass*#* on the ratta nde, 
and thus tlie Grand Saloon wasreoched, the entire distance being a perfect level. 
All the corridors, passages, and ante-rooms were lined with whim satin* kik! 
hung with flotreitt and filagree gold ornaments. The/oiwr, or drawtagnxmj 
for the Qneen* was furnished with costly tnewhfrj from Wiflow Bank, Fulham,, 
with a rich service of plate. Tlie room was lighted with splendid ehundelhjrs 
and caudolabta, and before tho two grand looking glares were colossal pyra¬ 
mids of geraniums. The boudoir and toilette-room for her Majesty were lined 
also with white satin* and from the celling to the floertag were massive mir¬ 
ror*. The interior of tho Box was lined with white satin ou a figured ground, 
H pon which at intervals were placed pilasters of the same material. Two bread tfcs 
of Bra ssclft lace forming a c amice valtance wore mispendcd from tlie celling. The. 
two columns in the interior of the Box were ontwtuod with artlfidal flowers and 
interlaced with Brussels dentetit, find from these columns candelabra wore «b*- 
pended. Miniature fetmquetft of artificial flower* ami filagree bands studded 
the satin linings. The Chairs or State, for the Queen and Prince Albert, w*™ 
immediately hi front of the Box; and below the/ofa^, on tho back row of the 
nil* stood four Yeomen ftf tlie Guard. Tho officers and Indies of tho Royal house¬ 
hold stood behind the Queen during the whole of the performance* The exterior 
of the Box was very splendid. From too facade of the box rialfe was suspended 
n canopy or massfro burnished gold foind, surmounted by a crown elaborately 
worked, ond supported by draper! flags of me fl nest gold and sUvor tissue * From 
this gorgeous canopy were hung draperies of rich India crimson and gold dam&sk* 
trimmed with exquisite Brussels Jaoe, and these draperies* In graceful folds, Imag’ 
over the sides of the Royal Box. 

The riwemWc was remarkably elegant, and reflected great credit on the taste olf

GOODWOOD OUT*—THE FIOIIT FOR THE STANDARD AT THE BATTLE OF HASTINGS. 


The third Cup consists of a epic mild group : 4 ‘ Harold's Standard at th& 
battle of Hastings, a.d. 1066," designed by Frank Howard, and modelled by 
Alfred Brown, under the superintendence of E. II, Bailey, ft*A, 

The incident Is thus graphically told In the « Pictorial History of England 
11 After the death ol Harold, the English gave way, but they retreated no farther 
than their standard, which they still sought to defend. The Normans hemmed 
them in, making the most desperate efforts to seize the banner* Robert Fitz- 
Eruest had already grasped it whoa tbo battle-axe of Leofwin (the brother of 
Harold) kid him low, thou ill he suffered the sumo fate almost simultaneously 
from the sword of one of the twenty knights who had undertaken to seize iho

Of Battle Abbey, on the Mth of October, 10GG." 

In Sir E. Bulwcr Lyuou's new romanco of “Harold," this forms ono of the

The group bos been beautifully executed by Messrs, Hunt and liosketl.

[Juiy 29, 1848. 


electric telegraph to the royal mail—the Beacon Course to thu Inst 
half of tiie Banbury mile, are the relations of taste in the 
first and second moieties of tho nineteenth centuiy (wo discount dates 
at the present pace). The preamble mil not be pronounced malapropos, 
turner the circumstances which suggest it. 

When Charles tlw Second attempted to visit Sussex, be had to 
bo dag out of the mud several times in the course of the first day's 
journev. Some ten years ago the odds used to bo laid against 
those who started for Goodwood Races arriving in time for the meeting. 
There was one “stage" to convey five thousand crack passengers; and 
one post-horse for ever}' twenty carriages bawling for “ the next turn* 
mi. Those were the days of “ the slows now Goodwood is the 
ceutro of a radium of rails. All that h necessary is to desire to be 
there—and there you are. The only travel ling that occurs—whether 
you start from London, Paris* or Vienna—is between Chichester and 
the course ; and as the greatest portion of that in through the finest park 
in the world, there is not so much to grumble at. There are those, to 
be aure, who urge against this ubiquity, that it interferes with the en¬ 
joyment of scenery and a knowledge of the country; and, moreover, 
that it luftY give ‘birth to other “ go-aheed” contrivances not quite so 
convenient What, for instance, if it pervade oar parts of speech, and 
introduce (ns one might say in Irish) short-Ansf/ into conversation P 
Something portentous of such a change is the wording of an advertise¬ 
ment relating to a salts that takes place on Monday next. In it the Messrs. 
Tattoraalla, it is said, will offer for auction certain high-bred setters, 

“ which have been regularly n hot." Up to the present time the ex¬ 
pression has been u allot over” or “ shot t &; w by “ regularly shot 11 we 
should understand that the ammnfo bad been put to death by means of 
some explosive process—shot in fact, w and no miBtake;’ The abbrevi¬ 
ation is more American iind less nice than suits the ear as yet. This 
digression has enabled us to reach Goodwood without too great precipi¬ 
tation. T . . 

That ’which the late Duke of Richmond established ns a social gather¬ 
ing for bin neigh boars who had a sporting tunii has crown, under the 
auspices of his sun, into the greatest turf gala in the world. Still, 
Goodwood was forced to its present prodigality of luxuriance by the 
exertions of lord George Bentinck—a nobleman ranmrkabk for the 
energy of purpose he brings to nil that he takes in band, WTien be 
gave up racing, luck came to the rescue. Mr. Mostyn took to the Ben- 
thick stud—a monster establishment; and, on bis declining, a successor 
was found in the person of Lord CItf<kn f by no means a turfite that 
does things by halves- 

This cannot, however, be expected to last for ever. Once upon a tame, 
a Black, employed at one of the great London breweries, fell into the 
cooler, and was drowned. The “ tap" turned out to be one of the best 
they ever bark A few months after the accident, n customer hod occa¬ 
sion to complain of the quality of the beer. H Well, sir,” remonstrated 
the clerk, t£ you can't expect U9 to drown a nigger in eve-y brew- 
big « , , . . Thus with the Goodwood Stud—it cannot be expected 
tn eoinmnnd for ever the appliances and means that have raised it 
to its present transcendency—which is nil the better reason that 

Tire take advantage of the moment. * *.Alas and 

wll-a-day ! what a moment was that when the morning of 
Tuesday placed it upon the dial I Thera is an old saying, u it never 
tains but it pours"—an axiom which might have had its origin on 
Goodwood race-course, Whether because it is nearer the clouds than 
anv other portion of the kin§piom put to a similar use, or because of its 
superior attraction, the fact is past gainsaying, that, when it does riun 
there, the character of the weather admits of no mistake. In one part of 
Greet Britain an umbrella ineffective ; in another, a macintosh does good 
service; but upon the division of the Sussex Downs of which wo are 
treating, on the occasion of such a ibrenoon as that ot the 25th tost,, it 
comes to the same thin / whether yon encase yourself in a waterproof suit 
or go about in your shirt. Thus, ItwiUbesunniaeft* thedotofe towered upon 
the Goodwood Meeting of 1848. But against the atmospheric pressure in 
dug scale, there was the sport in the other—sport to quality and quan¬ 
tity never dreamt of in the philosophy of a Queens berry, or a Banbury, 
ora Mdliab. The stately home of t£e Unnox was already tilled with 
,i fair women ** and gallants, to whom the other moiety of the quotation 
might well apply* , , 

A goodly company of these braved the pitiless pelting of a storm that 
must he imagined, for it cannot be described* A couple of hours after 
noon the doads broke, and the mn gloomed out tearfully, but it was very 
cold and comfortless. As the list was a formidable one, despite the 
skiev influences, they set about ila discussion promptly anti earnestly. 
The’betting ring circulated its facts and its fables. Among the former 
was the break-down of Hydrangea, a favourite for the stakes; among 
tlie latter—but these may lie spared. The appearance of Chichester on 
Monday evening had not promised well, and the abominable weather 
with which Tuesday broke might have been expected to cod the seat 
for sport in the breasts of those who to partake of it had to Leave their 
homes tbr the wild downs. But such was not the case. Since the days 
of Hamblclanliin and Filho da Puta no match had created such general 
interest as the meeting of Van Trornp ami Cossack for the 30d aovs 
Sweepstake*, with whet fortune vriO be seen anon* 

The Hero having walked over for the Craven, Mr, Payne 1 won the Levant 
with Glam a* Then there was a dead heat for the Drawingroom Stokes, 
nra a match between Glondower and Swordplayor—fl to 1 on the former 
—which the latter won with all cose in the second attempt. To this suc¬ 
ceeded the Ham Stoke*, booked at 3 to 1 on Honeycomb* which, however 
Colonel Peel won with Tadmor, the colt by Ion out of Palmyra s and 
next came the Gratwicke—that Surplice could not lose; but he did, 
nevertheless—Hie winner being Lord Chesterfield's DistaJfiua, a OHy of 
small account* A Sweepstakes of 900 sovst* each, half forfeit, tor fmir- 
ycor-olda, twenty-six snbscribora, was run a match between Vifri'rronjjj 

r TTr^ 

V anTromp, *>11 wnom 5 to4 vras Ifuri,andhe won in a canter—so absolutely 
that GossaeiCs jockcv pulled up at the distance 1 Lord Cliiden won the 
Innkeepers 1 Plate with Carbuncle; his Lordship's Sagacity walked over 
or the Goolwood Club Stokes, and the racing terminated* The course 
wits very heavy j the approaches to the stand and alt the thorough farea 
knee-deep in mud, and “quite shut out" all enjoyment* 

Wednesday, though not ad wet aa Its predecessor, was twice as windy, 
and soon after noon gave assurance of a wretched pleasure trusting. Alt 
was cold and comfortless, except tbe luncheons in the Stand, to winch 
uncommon attention was paid daring, the sojourn on the Downs. At one 
o'clock business began with 

Tbe Queen’s Plate of IW guineas—which ww to have been a match 
between the Hero and Footstool—that is to say, between tbe uoncVood, 
mid the Danebury jiwrlies. It was looked upon as a forlorn hope for 
the tenner—of course^-and in running tbe}' offered 10ft to 1 on the 
Hem. Nevertheless, ho was beaten by a length—with ease—and there* 
fere was scratched for the Cup—which must have been agreeable for 
the spirits of hie backets in such exhilirating weather. The Stewards’ 
Cup trought out a very large field, and in a veiy fine race fell to the 
flag of the Admiral* 

And now came the race of the day—that for tire Goodwood Stoker 
Of the 12^ nominations 16 came to the post* Reflection tieing tire 
favourite at 8 to I—very short ixids inahanaieip like this* Chanticleer, 
at 6 to 1 against h W carrying l .ht *2tb*» won hy a length—Plaudit 
.second* The winner forthwith cams into strong favour for the Cup* 
Buffalo Gal won the Cowdray, in a very close shave with the Traverser; 
and the 10 Sovs Sweepstakes, for three-year-olds and upwards, Mr* 
Kingfo Gusrmm’s dam filly won in a bad race by a couple of lengths. 
The Members’ Plate for the City of Chichester was won by Watchdog, by 
holla length—one of tbe four that started having mu the wrong course* 
Sagacity won the Orleans Cup from a field of four others, cleverly* And 
thin ended one of the worst dog-ami-cat dayi over endured by a party 
of pleasure, which to a strong way of putting the fact* 

TiittasDAY.—Here, as at many other places of similar resort, the gala 
day set id with more promise tluin its two predecessors. There was 
now and then n gleam of sunshine, and the temperature was gonial, 
and it was, altogether, hatter, ns regarded the whole, than might have 
been exported. But it was not, in attendance, at all to be compared to 
many tanner Cup days* The effect of scratching the Here was, of 
course, to give lot.reased interest to the great event, for which, the pra* 
reding evening, and up to the hour of starting, six to four was 
current on Von Tromp. Lord Stanley’s Archery having walked 
over for lire Sweepstakes of tliirty sova each. Sir Richard 
Williams won tho sova with the Picaroon fitly, and 

Lord George Bent luck tho Sussex Stake* with Glen al von. The l>ufce 
of Richmond carried off a 100 mvs sweepstakes with Hid tor Skelter ; and 


his Graced Plate of £100 brought seventeen to the post This was a 
scurry, won by Swordplayer, The Mole-comb was run for by half-a- 
dozen, and won, alt the way, by John Day's Mr. Milner. And now came 
the cynosure of all comers—the Gup. There was a deal of gossip about 
the French horse, and other on diis T but when the nine that raced came in 
front of the Stand all was earnest end deep interest* A finer or truer race 
was never run. Van Trornp went out in front, ami returned in the 
satire place, and finished a gallant winner, without even an effort* 
Annin, a German bred home, was second; and Lady Sarah third. The 
pace moderate till they came to the mile-post from home, when it be¬ 
calm* very good. Honeycomb won the 26 Soys Sweepstakes in a can 
ter; the 20u sova ditto 6y Belus; and G Ira dower having won the Racing 
Stokes, beating Surplice, a bad third, and thus giving coup degrade 
to his Leger hopes, ™ interest of the day ended* 

The dosing nay at Goodw'ood baa more of an amateur character about 
it than belongs Uj any other meeting on a similar scale. Its mere re- 
lurns may therefore suffice to wind up our record of the sports. In 
abundance they were never exceeded on the British turf : intrinsically 
they w ere good* and mocked by features calculated to influence very 
considerably the betting on future important events.

ho would ask the House to give it a •second reading. The noble Lord moved 
accordingly. 

Sir Lucius O'Bxien remarked, that ho had at first thought of abstaining from

person affected by It, but tho consideration that his conduct might bo miscon¬ 
strued, and tho conviction fiiat the measure would be meat beneficial to Irckrnd, 
had Induced him to record his vote for the BUI. 

After a few observations, the RUi was read a second time.

Lord J. Hires eu, stated that the Bill was identical with the Act of 1&22, with 
one exception—the omission of thu clause which required t hat. In case o f the

The Royal Assent was given by Com mis slim to the Bill for the Suspension Of 


fraught with evil—that it threatened danger-tiuit we were on the eve of an 
outbreak. If not timely prevented. Secondly, that there were means sufficient 
to produce great evil* and dangers unless some measures should bo adopted to 
counteract them. Thirdly, that the measure ho proposed was tho moot appro¬ 
priate for it* purpose. He did not propone to rest hfe case on any secret in¬ 
formation known only to the Guvermuent; hut he would rest It on facts patent, 
notorious, end palpable. He then proceeded ui trace the Imtory of the Irish 
Confederation down to tho present time, csiabllshlng, from the avowed mani¬ 
festoes published in the /Won and the Jfitffon newspapers, that the fixed deter¬ 
mination of these Confederates was to abolish entirely tho Imperial Govern merit 
—to take away from tho Queen adl authority in Ireland—to annihilate nil the 
right* of properly—to hold up the hope of plunder to these who would break 
their oaths of allegiance and Join in rebellion—end to hold tip the threat Of de¬ 
priving aJJ those Of thuir property who would remain fait to their allegiance and 
refuse to assist to the Insurrection, Gnu of these manifestoes, entitled, "Tho 
Value of the Irish Harvest,* set forth that there was growing cm the Irish soU 
eighty millions of produce, tmd declared that it would he for the new Irish 
Council of Three Hundred to decide how this produce should he apportioned; 
thus showing that by one sweeping confiscation the ruadtors of thia Red Repub¬ 
lic were prepared to disregard ah existing social rules, and to reduce everything 
to anarchy. The noble Lord then went on to describe tho means of effecting 
their treasonable objects possessed by tho Confederates, AIL tbo accounts re¬ 
ceived by toe Government proved that tho organLatton of the Clubs wus. for¬ 
midable, that it was rapidly proffresstog, and that lit many parts of tho country 
the pinna of the oraoclatea were ripe for execution. He adduced ffto accounts 
obtained from Tipperary, Meath, Louth, Cork* Waterford, and other 
counties, os evidence of the formidable nature of the organisation of 
tho insurgent* ; all the Information received from all quarters, and all the 
opinions obtamod from various persona being to the one effect, that 
though perse us of property nnd the clergy of all denominations wore 
decidedly against an outbreak, no influence would hnv& any effect hi deterring 
many thousands of tho younger mutt, especially of the funner class, from join¬ 
ing hi the proposed Insurrection; In fact, nothing was now wanting hut tho 
naming of the day and hour, to bti fixed by the leaders, for carrying Into effect 
this fatal revolution. 'Tim noblr; Lord quoted a tetter received that day from 
Lord Clarendon, in whtcb tha Lord<Lieutenant statod that the aspect of things 
wjw growing worse, and that Lho change of opinion from loyalty, oil the port of 
tho Irish iTodple, was most rapid within the hist few days. It might tra necesStoy 
to tnlroduco a moasuro for tho provoDtlon of the organisation of cluhs*, but mo 
first, the most direct, thE immediate and cfficncteus remedy for the existing 
evil, would be the suspension of tite Habeas Corpus Act—a power to oo giyw to 
the Lord-Lientenaiu uf at once securingtb- 

treasou. The Oororem^nt J.*vo been justified in demanding fids power 
at mi earlier ncriM. t^it they delayed It a* long aA It was possible. He Implored 
i/ffielr conviction was this measure should pU& to lose no time to 
Ifimtog tbs Lord-Lteatenant with the power requisite. Iftlthout it, rebellion 
could undoubtedly ho put down, but It would lie at the expense of blood, at the 
cost of much misery and ruin. No man could say what the consequence of 
withholding thosu powers even for a day would be* The Government undertook 
the responsibility, 'however odious It might be, of proposing this measure; and 
they confidently nuked tho House to accept their responsibility, mindful of the 
blessings they would preserve nnd mindfol of the risks they might incur. 

Mr. FEABore O'Cos son. charged the Government with having goaded the 
Irish people Into rebellion, and with then attempting to repress the mikchfetfs of 
their own creating bv mean* of Coercion Rills. Strong as the Government was 
In uniting all iterate in the Home In favour of this measure, Its only effect 
would lm to hasten tho revolution. The lion, member, in the course of his 
speech, verged very olose upon treason, declaring that ho was not for repeal, 
but separation 


Sir R* hEfci, was prepared to giva his unqualified support to tho Government, 
Ho trusted 111 the vurselty Of the Ministers when they stated that tho conspiracy

Crown against those mock Kings of Munster of whom they had heard, and 
egiifost thuso conspirators who were working to substitute for the mild sway of

further delay In coplug with the Irish traitor a, and he for one was prepared to 
consent in the suspension of ail the forma nf the House in order to the speedy 
passing of this Bill; and if additional powers should be required, he trusted tiio 
Government would not hesitate a moment to bringing them forward. Having re¬ 
ferred to the results or revolution on the Continent, 1 ho right hon* genttoman

Order In that country,” 

Mr. Fagan Bccenided the amendment, and contendcsl that the people of Ire¬

Mr.DfeAAELi said the movement to Ireland was neither more nor less than 
Jacobinical, having for Its Quests plunder ami the destruction of property. Ho 
could therefore tie possible objection to arming the Government with the

that tha Kaffir war liad cost Bp to tins lint return, and reviewed tie whole 
oonrac of ttioso hostilities, blaming the conduct of Sir T. Maitland la causing 
s war for tho sake of two goats ± which would ultimately entail upon this 
country an outlay of £2,000,000 sterling. The annual expense formaintaining 
the colonies wna £ft t ooo,f)00, one-half of which was defrayed by tills country i 
and tills etuirmtuu expend was, In a great measure, created by the money 
being uselessly frittered away, and, is he was informed, In many Instances 
by peculation The honourable gentleman then wont very minutely into 
the disposition of our naval and military forces, together with their expense, and 
atated the various place*-whero these forces might be very aafely reducoil or 
altogether removed, and their places supplied at the expense of the colonies. 
By these means the Government would effect a very considerable saving in Its 
onlfrilal expenditure. There were some places, too, that would thrive much 
better if handed over to the East India Company, and would save us a great ex* 
ponsQ, while they would bo mom serviceable to US then than new. In refer¬ 
ence to that portion of thu expense that was homo by the colonics, ho found that 
the expenses of those colonies that partially governed themselves were very 
small in comparison with the expense* of those that wore governed directly by 
the Colonial Office. He observed that the more tho colonies legislated for them- 
nelvea, the mere economical and better were they governed. He dolled the 
Colonial Office to legislate adequately for our colon fa *, scattered as lhoy were 
over the whole face of the globe, all having eonffictmg interests, varying In their 
manners, customs, wants, and resources, Tho characteristic defects of the co¬ 
lonial system ware ignorance and irresponsibility* and tho only way to remedy 
these would be to give to tho colonics all the powers to govern themselves 
which the Colonial Office now enjoyed, with the exception of those which 
would be incompatible with the sovereignty of this country, and Injurious to 
the interests of the empire. The powers to be reserved by Great 
Britain should bo only a free admission for our surplus population, 
and a Area market for the produce Of our industry. By adopting this course the 
mother country would retain all the advantages they could hope for from our co¬ 
lonics, while the expenses of legislation would be greatly reduced, and would ho 
bomu by tlicmaolves. Uo did not propone to abandon any portion of the colo¬ 
nies, hut to reduce the expenditure to a very considerable extent, and throw the 
necessary charges of supporting them on themselves, by giving thorn local 
govern meats; anti the money that would be saved by this plan would enable 
this Government to transfer to Australia 1 50,000 persons annually, and double 
that number to North America* The hon. Baronet concluded a very lengthened 
speech, by stating that if large sums of money were to bo spen t on the colonies, 
they might bo much mom advantageously applied in promoting the emigration 
Of all classes of society, so as to make the colonies as much like the mother 
country as possible* Tho hon. gentleman then moved—" That it la the opinion 
Of this I louse, that the colonial expenditure af the British empire demands in¬ 
quiry, with a view to Its reduction ; and that to accomplish this ohlcet, and to 
secure greater contentment and prosperity to the colonists, they ought to be in¬ 
vested with large powers for the administration of their local affairs;" and 
added, that if the House agreed to It* he should, In the early part of next ses¬ 
sion, move for a select Committee on the subject* 

Mr. Hutt, In seconding the motion, concurred in all that bud fallen from the 
hon. Barenet* In his censures on the proceedings of the Colonial Office, and con¬ 
tended that the nnanimeuB opinion of the country was opposed to the Colonial 
Office assuming to perform duties (hr which It was incompetent. 

Mr, Hawks, after defending the Colonial Office against the charge of ignorance 
and despotism* and vindicating the colonial policy of England as the beat and 
most successful that the world hod ever seen* assented to the motion ua tending 
to strengthen the hands of the Colonial Secretary In still further carrying ouE 
tho principles of self-government and economy with regard to the colonies, 

Mr* Scott moved the adjournment of tho debate, 

Mr* Hume, Mr. Stafford* and Mr. Mangles severally addressed the House; after 
which 

Lord J. Russeil said that he would not object to the adjournment; but the 
only difficulty was iui to fixing a day on which It could be resumed* 

The debate was then adjourned to Tuesday week. 

Mr, Awstxt rose to " move for the papers relating to the charges brought by 
Governor Macdonald against Thomas O’Briflu. Esq., late Colonial Secretary of 
Sierra Leone, and the counter-charges brought by the latter gentleman against 
the former, and the decision of the Colonial-office upon the same,” The hon. 
gentleman was proceeding to call the attention of the House to the conduct of 
the Colonial Government with respect to the transaction to which his motion re¬ 
ferred* when 

An hon. member moved that the House be counted* and only thirty-four 
members being present, the House adjourned at a quarter-past twelvu o'clock.

The Hondo sat from noon to abt o'clock. 

REPEAL OF THE UNION 

Mr. It. M. Fox withdrew his motion for a Parliament in Ireland, which stood 
amongst tho orders of tho day as an adjourned debate. He took that opportu¬ 
nity of deprecating tho connexion which appeared to have recently taken place 
between Kepealert and Bcputlleans In that country. 

Mr. Anstet denied nil participation with tho wicked men who were stirring 
Up rebellion in Ireland, 

After soma discussion, In which Sir B* Hall, Mr* Reynolds, Mr. II. Grafton* 
and other hon. members took part, . 

Lord J. huBtui, thought the advocates for n repeal of tho union had shown jt 
who discretion Id postponing the discussion of tha question at the present mo¬ 
ment; and whatever might be their views of too Course to be pursued for im¬ 
proving the social condition of Ireland, ho hoped they would join with Furl la¬ 
ment and the constituted authentic* Jn averting tho evils-which must follow 
the traitorous designs of certain parties to overthrow the Institutions^ of the 
country. 

Waste Lands <lRELAWD)*“On the motion for going Into committee on the 
Waste Lands (Ireland) Bill* Sir J. Walsh opposed tha Bill, as novel In principle, 
and calculated to Increase the present poverty of thu people of Ireland. He 
therefore moved that the House should resolve Itself Into committee on the Bill 
that day six months*—Mr- f ■ SoaorE strongly supported the Bill.—Some conversa¬ 
tion ensued; after which, Sir D. Ghet objected to the measure, as calculated to 
lead to a great expenditure of public money, and ox being also mischievous In 
tho manner In which its object was proposed to be attained; for it was evident 
from tho Interpretation clause that something more than reclaiming waste lands 
was contemplated by the BUI. He felt himself colled upon, therefore, to oppose 
Its further progress,—After some farther conversation, the Bill wm withdrawn* 
Life Bottom or Assurance Bill. —Mr, W. Fagan* in moving the second 
reading of this Bill, stated the object of it to be to make policies of assur¬ 
ance assignable at law, which they worts not at present* though they were 
assignable In equity, Tbe principle* of tho Bill wm assented to by the lead¬ 
ing Insurance companies of the country.—Tha Bill was then read a second 
time* and ordered to be committed that day week.

and ordered to be committed.

lic Health Bill, With amendments.—The Bishop of London thought tont the 
Select Committee which bud been appointed had Improved the Bill by making 
toe amendment? in It, and therefore lie gave bis cordial support to it*—The BIB 
was then read a third time and passed, 

STATE OF IRELAND* 

Lord Bbougbam put a qnestionf to the noble lord (Lord Lausdowno) relative 
to thu alarming news which had just been received from Ireland. For himself* 
he thought they wore grossly exaggerated* if they were not altogether pure 
inventions. 

The Marquis cf Lanadownx said that with respect to the nunour which had 
been circulated in the City, of too commencement of rebelHon in Ireland, he 
bad the satisfaction of being enabled to state that there was every probability 
oflts betngoltogether unfounded* The Government were in the possession of 
dispatches from the Lord-Lieutenant* dated at three o'clock yesterday, which 
were brought by a special messenger, hut they contained nothing whatever 
willi respect to any such on outbreak. Letters had subsequently been received* 
tilled at six o’clock on the same day* which bud eomo by the mail* but they 
were equally void of the slightest reference to such an occurrence. He there¬ 
fore did not think there w,lh the alighto-st grounds for the circulation at such a 
runicmr. At the same time he begged to add that there was the greatest proba¬ 
bility gf an outbreak in that particular quarter of Ireland in which It was ru¬ 
moured disturbances bad already commenced. 

The Marquis of Londondemv blamed thu Government tor the way In which 
they had allowed tlm Irish people to go unchecked until they had arrived at the 
very verge of rebellion; hut he trusted now that they would excretes over possible 
power with which they wore Invested* to prevent these deluded people proceed¬ 
ing any further. 

The HarqnU of Lansdownx said ho had that moment received additional 
Intelligence up to seven o'clock yesterday evening, which was equally devoid Of 
any Information as to the reported outbreak of the people in Ireland. (Hear* 
hear.)—Adjourned,

FALSE RUMOURS—STATE OF IRELAND. 

Mr. Monskll rose amidst almost; breath loss silence* and said—Sir, seeing the 
Right Hen. Baronet the Secretary' of State tor tho Home Department in hl« 
place* J wish to put a question to him with reference to tho rumours that 
have reached tlila city to-day with regard to the Mate of Ireland, I 
am happy to know that a great many of those rumeiua are en¬ 
tirely false, (Cheers.) And I mu stum I only express the feeling of 


tho House, when I say (hat a more heartier or disgraceful rumenr was ™ 
perpetrated than that which has been circulated to-day. (Lava I do 

hot know whether there Is any means th»* *i». t igutribn. Barenet could make 
use Of to prevent the electric tolejp^pti from betag nsed fur such disgraceful pur¬ 
poses, but 1 am sure If rh« rifttiT hen. Barenet has the power to do so lie will 
take care to prevent a recurrence Of these disgraceful practices, (Cheers,) Tbe 
question t wish to axk Dim first Is* whet- nice unto he has received from Ireland ; 
rind, secondly* do those accounts confirm the statement that the whole of tho 
south of Ireland is In open insurrection ? 

Sir Gsdkoe Geey : I haw groat satisfaction In stating that I have every rea 
ton to believe that the alarming account* which have appeared In tire later edi¬ 
tions of the morning papers* and Which were transmitted this; morning from Li¬ 
verpool by the electric telegraph, to tho effect; that insurrection had actually 
broken Out In the south of Ireland* are totally destitute of truth. (Loud cheers.) 
Sir* on receiving the first copy of the paper transmitted to me containing tho In¬ 
telligence* said to have been seat from Liverpool this morning, I despatched a 
latter to the honourable member for Stoke-upon-Trent, to Induce him to forward 
a communication by the electric telegraph to the Mayor of Liverpool* requesting 
tokriowfrom him what Information had been received in Liverpool from Ire¬ 
land, and I received a despatch from that functionary* by the electric telegraph* 
stating that the Information published this morning was accompanied from 
Ireland by a letter* dated Dublin, 'Wednesday evening, which represented that 
Mr. Con way, of the I>ublin Evening A’oq* hiid received from the Castle a moat 
dreadful rumour, which he was about to publish hi a second edition of that paper. 
The writer then wont on to say, that he took advantage uf our Queen's mes¬ 
senger going off at the moment for London, to forward the intelligence Ju a parcel 
to Messrs, Wtilmor and Smith* of Liverpool* who, no doubt* would transmit 
it to London by tbe electric telegraph. The Mayor of Liverpool* about an hour 
after this, further communicated to me that ho is peifeclly satisfied that the 
Trial] intelligence, contained In the paragraph pu03failed In the morning papers* 
is utterly untrue, unices Government have received a dispatch from Lord Cla¬ 
rendon, confirming it. Re also states that a Queen's messenger certainly Liad 
arrived from Dublin by a steamer this morning, and he left Liverpool by the hftlf* 
past six express train. Now, It la perfectly true that a Queen's messenger was 
dispatched from Dublin last night. I liad sent him over with a dispatch* stating 
that tha bill for ^spending the Hftbauft Corpus Act had received the Roy*I 
Assent* and lie loft Dublin with a despatch from the Lord Lieutenant yesterday 
even lag, and arrived In London by the express tralu thia morning at half-past 
ono o'clock. This despatch certainly describes the state of the country in the 
neighbourhood of Clonmel * Garrick, and Thnrlog to be dreadful, lmt in relation 
to any actual outbreak it Is perfectly silent, and makes no mention whatever. 
(Hear.) J have seen the messenger, and ho states that be left Dublin at three 
e’eloek yostord ay afternoon* but he assures mo that be brought un parcel or letter 
for any parry Whatever. The messenger fa stated to have come over by a 
special steamer from Kingston yesterday; that he started at three o'clock by 
the steamer which was reported to have had tha Queen's messenger on beard, 
Now, no Queen's messenger came over In that steamer \ but I have received 
letters from the Lord Lieutenant, written after the departtre of the Queen'* 
messenger yesterday afternoon, which contain no allusion to those frightful ac¬ 
counts. I am also assured by an hon, member that the hon* gentleman the 
member for To toes left Dublin yesterday by the steamer which leaves at 7 o'clock, 
and that everything was tranquil when he left—tluxt no rumour of the kind hod 
reached his cans when the steamer left the pert. I will only odd that I cer¬ 
tainly shall endeavour to trace the wilful originator of the report. (Luud 
cheers,) I have now given all the Information in my power; and it enables 
me to concur with the honourable gentleman that these report* were fabricated 
for a wicked and mnllctouj purpose. With respect to the state or Ireland, I 
may only odd, that by the letters which I have received from the Lord-Lieute¬ 
nant, it appear*that Sir Churles Napier hud arrived at Cork with his squadron 
—(bear* hear)—with an able and ample body of troops, who* I am sure, are 
always ready to discharge their duty with unflinching bravery, and who are* 
therefore* entirely free from the imputations which the reports circulated this 
day have most unfoundedly cast upon them. (Cheers). 

After some remarks from Mr. Habolvw* Mr. A. Baoox, and other honour¬ 
able members, tho subject dropped.

PUBLIC MEETINGS. 

Ragged Schools Union.—A public meeting, convened by the Ragged Schools 
Union* tor the purpose of forming a Juvenile refuge and school of industry for 
the East of London* was held on Monday, In tho Council Chamber* Guildhall. 
The Lord Mayor occupied the chair* Mr, Locke read an address from tho 
Ragged Schools Union* in which the committee stated that In four yearn the 
number of ragged schools In London and Its suburb* had Increased from 20 to 
more than fiO. In those schools about SO paid teacher* ft ro now employed* and 
about S00 voluntary teachers. The average attendance of scholars for the past 
year was ftfSOO on Sunday, 3900 on week days, and 3500 on week evenings* The 
committee had in the course of last year opened A school hi Bye-street, West¬ 
minster, where the advantages of feed and industrial instruction were included* 
and w here about 100 hoys and girts were there taught and fed every day, the 
annuaI expense of each child being about £H 10s, or £1. The committee pro¬ 
posed that the new Institution should be formed Id Rosomary-laao, Mlnories* 
where there was a suitable building which they could easily adapt to their 
use. They reckoned that the annual expenses for 230 or 300 children 
would be iaOiX). They considered that the ref ago could he very odvun* 
Ugcouely employed as & preparatory institution for emigrants to the colonies. 
Lard Ashley pointed out tho evils that rendered Its adoption desirable. The 
plan proponed was to educate tho children, both morally and Industrially* In 
order that they might be aiterwards able to became useful members of society* 
either at house or In the colonies. He recommended that admission to the re- 
frige, or removal to tbe colonies, should be held out as rewards to the cliBdren 
for good conduct* u system which he believed would bo productive uf nmch 
good ; for though the parents might sometimes object, he liad never known a 
case where a child had not eagerly embraced such an offer. He hoped that the 
present proposal might be the commencement of a great system of colonisation 
in connexion with Industrial schools, which would have collateral effects upon 
society equally beneficial with Its effect upon the children themselves* He com¬ 
bated rim objection which had been expressed in some quarters* that 
the Institution of ragged schools had a tendency to render parents 
careless ef the charge entrusted to them, and too apt to place ro* 
liauco npon tholr children being provided for without the necessity of ex¬ 
ertion on their port.—The Rev. Mr. Champneya stated that tho expense of pro¬ 
secuting criminals in the county of Middlesex, in 1347* was .£15*805; while the 
annual cost of the proposed refuge was estimated at only i^OOh; so that eight 
refuges might be supported at an expense no greater than that which wnanow 
required for only uno branch of criminal work, and which did not embrace tho 
coat of police and prisons,—Tbe Secretary then announced a list of subscriptions 
which hud been received towards the object in view, amounting to -£3lG Ida— 
Lord Kltataird dilated on the advantages of tho ay stem In an economical point 
of view* as had boon exhibited by Its working In the towns of Dundee and Aber¬ 
deen.—Resolutions in accordance with the objects of tho meeting having been 
adopted* tiie secretary announced the receipt of £50 from Mr* Be van, the trea¬ 
surer, towards these objects,and the proceedings closed* 

Child Fognp in a Band-box,— About 12 o'clock on Monday night, ns the 
watchman of tho Joint Station, London-bridge* was going his rounds, and when 
passing by the Lost Property Office, ho fancied he hoard u child cry, which In¬ 
duced him to make a seareli* but not hearing tho voice again, and seeing no¬ 
thing suspicions, he was about leaving tho office, when ho heard another feint 
cry* evidently proceeding from a band-box, tied with tape* and (iddrcxscd to u 
party at Croydon* which* upon examination* was found to contain a flnu male 
child of Homo eight or ten days old, fust asleep. It was Immediately conveyed 
to Guy's Hospital, where soma food was administered* and the cltild seems none

mid its situation on tho edge of a kill the noblest that can bo imagined* 
there are Homo of tho most perfect remains of tilt* domestic architecture 
of tlie middle Ages that now exist in this country, particularly of Nor¬ 
man work. The Hall of SL Mary’s Guild, (commonly known os John of 
Gaunt’s Stubles,) is one of the most perfect pieces of Norman domestic 
architecture in England. The ndgnboorhood* too, is particularly rich 
in its churches, especially along tins cliff which runs from Grantham to

architecture in this country'.

TUESDAY. 

The reception room on Tuesday was at tho Great Northern Hotel* a 
new building, only opened last w eek, and beautifully arranged j and, in 
a very short time, ovary bed there was occupied. 

The proceedings on Tuesday commenced at twelve o’clock, the intro¬ 
ductory meeting being hold in tho County Assembly Rooms, near tho 
Cathedral* when tlio Bishop of Norwich, who was elected President Inst 
year at that city* reins and said: “ Before I resign the high honour of 
President in favour of tha noble President elect (Earl BrownJow)* I 
shall take advantage of the chair* and make some remarks relative to 
this Society* The sdeneB of Astronomy, to some, is the mere spark¬ 
ling firmament; but to the scientitle astronomer the science tenches that 
these sparkling stars are immense worlds* and give further proof 
of a great and good being—the Ruler of the Universe. Take the science 
of Geology: we dive into the mine, and ascend the mountain, and it 
tells ns how many ages—almost countless—the Creator has been form¬ 
ing the earth; and we are lost in astonishment at his works* I'aiming, 
again, may be said to be more astonishing than these; By its aid we are 
accustomed to behold things brighter auid truer* Arehmolqgy* however 
teaches more—it awakens our eyes, it opens otir ears, and produces un¬ 
alloyed satisfaction in what we behold* Do we see the castle, with its 
dmigeons—we can picture to ourselves tho prison where the poor captive 
pined away. Do we see the noble remains of a baronial residence—w-e 
can picture to ourselves the knights and Jodies dressed as on ono of 
their holidays* Do we see the landscape—by the aid of archeology, it 
reminds us of what our ancestors have done amid these scenes, and to 
some of which deeds we are indebted for the bulwarks of our liberty* 
Archaeology teaches ns to admire the greatness of those who designed 
such noble structures as the adjoining Cathedral—an edifice which mo¬ 
dem architects cannot equal; and thus the science leads us to venerate 
thu skill of our pious ancestors. Some jealous persons have said that 
archaeologists wish to bring back to our age the barbarisms of the middle 
ages* I say, we repudiate so false an accusation. What we do wist, is 
to be able to equal oar ancestors, in erecting, temples to Him to whom 
wc cannot do too much homage. For my pari, I am so much a 
Tractarian, that I would bring m the aid of sculpture and pain ting 
in adorning our churches 1 am glad to lay that we have some¬ 
thing improved during tho last twenty-five veers; wc have 
learnt to wish for something more than the mere bricks and mortal-, 
and we can aafely say that Archaeology has done so much—we have 
abolished tho style of brickbats* I must say ono word in favour of 
whitewash j it has saved us many of the beauties of our old churches: 
let the spirit of improvement progress in restoring what we have left to 
m, and wo possess beauties in our churches which other countries 
cannot boost'* Tho Bishop of Norwich then went on to say, his nu¬ 
merous avocations bad prevented him from attending and doing so much 
as ho desired; but lie was glad he was to be succeeded by Earl Brownlow 
who had the leisure and the means of doing much* The right rev* 
Bishop then resigned the chair to Lord Brownlow, 

Earl Brownlow then took tho choir* and stated that his best wishes 
were for the welfare of the Society* and raid they were one means of pro¬ 
ducing churches in good taste, by the study of Archaeology* 

The Marquis of Northampton next rose to prop<n$e the thanks of the 
meeting to the late President, the talented Bishop of Norwich j ho did 
so with mingled feelings of satisfaction and pain^pain* in having to 
lose tho services of their late chairman, who liad in hk able speech 
of tbk day secured their unanimous applause, and which speech alone 
was quite sufficient to secure to tbe Bishop of Norwich the vote of 
thanks, without him (the Marquis of Northampton) saying more. 
The Mnruuk of Northampton then stated the pleasure ho had in having 
now for their President Eiul Brownlow* who had built several cliurchea 
at his own expense; adding that the noble earUs family had imitated his 
example, and had subscribed largely to the building of new churches* 

The Lord Bishop of Lincoln rose to second tho motion, and stated tha 
several taefits to bo derived from the study of Archaeology* Moralists 
knew that by directing our thoughts to the past or the future, we were 
less likely to" think of things of the present. The Bishop of Lincoln 
complimented the Bishop of Norwich on his speech of that day* and 
cordially seconded the motion of thanks to the late President, tvhich 
was carried by acclamation. 

Lord Monson w as vety glad Meed to meet the learned gentlemen 
who bad visited Lincoln, and in the name of the citizens and in¬ 
habitants of the neighbourhood of Lincoln begged to express their plea¬ 
sure at the honour of the visit of the Archeological Institute j mid stated 
that every facility would be given to their learned enquiries. 

Tho Mayor of Lincoln then invited the meeting to a sairfa, given by 
the Corporation, to be held on Friday* J 

Borne other business of a forma] nature was transacted* Mr* E, J, 
Willson, the local secretary, wns then called upon to read the first najjer 
—on. the Bums of the Bishops Palace; and at half-past three oVlodc 
accompanied a very large party to view these interesting relics. The 
building appears to have been principally of the time of Stephen; and 
large remains still exist* Near the entrance b a square rower, built 
by Bishop Alnwick : the doorway is veiy good, with exceedingly 
elegant groining, and tho original doors of the Decorated sty le 
A very fine oriel window over the doorway has been de¬ 
stroyed* and nothing remains but part of 'the Banqueting- 
boll, which leads out of the lower part of the tower, a very 
finelv-prepoirtioned room, 55ft. by 75ft; but it is quite in mins. Tbe 
remains ot some corbels show where the line of columns supporting die 
roof was placed. Tho windows are not supposed to have been glazed, 
but merely closed by shutters; the upper part has, perhaps had glass 
in it* There are st ono sea to under the windows; and Mr. J* Jl* Parker 
of Oxford, took occasion to explain that one of the most characteristic 
differences between tho windows of domestic and ecclesiastical buildings 
was tho tact of atone scats never being found in the latter class of struck 
turn at all* At the end of the Banqueting-ball there fa a kind of ante¬ 
chamber, separating it from the kitchens, which are in a large rude 
tower, where remains of five fire-places mav be traced* Below 
the kitchens has been a chamber, supposed to have been the brawhonao j 
and at one corner of the ante-room there is a small turret, containing a 
staircase, by which the servants had access to the Banqueting hall 
from their chambers, which are largo vaulted apartments on the oppo¬ 
site aide of the court* There are several of these chambers, which are 
formed under all parts of the upper rooms* One gateway, below 
the ante-chamber, is curious: the moulding is a variety of that known 
as the billet-moulding. The terraces are very nice, and the whole of the 
under pm:t, which extends partly down tho cliff on which the Cathedral 
stands, fa now converted into gardens. At the bottom of one of these 
terraces, at the north end of the Palace Gardens* fa a very fine fragment 
of the old Roman wall of the city of Lindum, exhibiting herring-bone 
work, and pieces of tiles introduced. Some of the party afterwards 
accompanied Mr. Willson to the Jews' House, on tho Steep Hill, a very 
rich specimen of late Norman work* But the lecture ami the visit 
having occupied nearly all the afternoon, there was not sufliefant timo 
left to make up parties for visits to the other objects of interest of 
which the city is ho full. A few gentlemen, however, took the oppor¬ 
tunity of examining some excavations which are still being carried on 
of the course of ait dd Roman sewer, at the top of tho hill* which has 
now been explored for about BOO fact* 

In the course of tbe afternoon, the Museum was opened at the County 
Assembly Rooms; and we wore much pleaded to sec the very beautiful 
collection of exceedingly interesting objects which have been got to¬ 
gether on tho present occasion. Among those of tho chief importance 
ore the following (some of which we hope to bo able to present our 
readers with in a future Number):—A magnificent silver gilt mon¬ 
strance, about foot high* of exceeding^ beautiful workmanship, from, 
the Jesuits* College at Lucerne, recently brought to England W Mr. 
Farrer, by whom it was exhibited* A gold torque or band for thcneck, 
the property of her Majesty, by whose gracious permission it was allowed, 
to be exhibited. It is of twisted plaits of gold wire, with massive gold 
cuds for clasps. It was found in Need wood Forest, having been turned 
up by a fox when burrowing* It is supposed to be of Romano- British 
date* A silver gilt oar, which was given by Queen Elisabeth to the 
Corporation of Boston, and was used by them on state occasion*; but* 
on the new town-council coming into power in 1B32, they actually stthl 
this oar to one of the aldermen* by whose widow it iwi* presented to 
Lord Brownlow, in whose possession it now is, and by whom it was lent 
for exhibition. An indurated moss of chain mail* found with a skull

the construction of the Cathedral, tracing its peculiarities under differ¬ 
ent architects; and after the conclusion of the evening sendee, the 
Professor led a large party round the Cathedral, and pointed out the 
details in the transitions of the several periods of architecture. Dr. 
Bouncy, Archdeacon of Lincoln, subsequently read a very curious paper 
illustrative of certain monuments in the Cathedral which have no dates 
nor inscription of my kind; but from the armorial bearings upon them 
1 the Archdeacon has, with much labour aud ingenuity, ascertained to

THE ILLUSTRATIONS. 

These consist of the semicircular doorway of the Jtto's Hm tae, a fine 
specimen of rich, late Norman work. 

Next is the interior of the cast end of the chancel of i St. Mary ie 



mutilated: some ancient painting* of floriated pattern, was discovered 
above the windows; and in the gable is a quatrefoiled opening. 

Next b the Hospitium, commonly called H the Monk * Born," about 
a mile and a half south-east of Lincoln, the remain a of a small monastic 
establishment, said to have been a cell to St. Mary's Abbey, at York. 
The ruina consist chiefly of the walls of the Chanel, which ore late 
Norman work, with perpendicular windows inserted. 

A large old monastic structure, formerly the Free School, and now 
occupied by the Mechanics Institute, is next illustrated: it is a good 
example of the Domestic Architecture of the Middle Ages, whim is 
unusually abundant at Lincoln, 

Remains of the Bishop's Folate,— These fme vestiges have already 
been noticed. 

The Newport Gate, the moat perfect specimen of a Roman Gate re¬

a place for assembling j since now, os in Gough's time, “there ore more 
remains of old buildups in the city of Lincoln than an y other placo in 
England.”

The Jilt]® company at this theatre, are gaining ground In public favour. The

the Chines® Exhibition; and docs so with a marked and vory evident advance 
In the quality and proportion of excellence observable on the part of its mem¬ 
bers. As regards light, tho Gallery is admirably adopted fbr the purposes it 


has been selected for, and the Exhibition may now challenge severe cri¬ 
ticism with advantage to Itself. In its address to the public, the Committee of 
Management state that the throe objects sought by till® Institution are, 
u Fretttom for the artist; ctrtainty of exhibition for his works ; and the 
merit of public tat It,'' The two first are practical objects enough, and the honesty 
Of their announcement deserves all praise* Of tho latter, the less said the better. 
Every rational observer of the politics of English art knows that the only

In tho Suftblk-atreet Gallery, or In this Institution, is the gale of life own works. 
An attempt Is also mode to apologise for some oddities shown In the hanging of 
the gallery, on the score that each artist pays for his place, and hangs his pic.

MONETARY TRANSACTIONS OF THE WEEK. 

(From our City Corrapomtent.) 

Apprehensions regarding the sufficiency Of the approaching harvest, added to 
the appearance of disease In the potatoes, have cotiritlerably intiaonced the 
Money Market during the week. It is understood that the Bank of Lnglwid 
Jlju been selling Exchequer BUls for some dayn past, and reyeral leading 
banking Anus lave also realised; while tlio dfecoonl houses now limit btislness 
to short-dated paper. Such a smlden change in flnaticlal policy lx a sinking 
Indication of an anticipated scarcity of money, reetlithtg from the necessity of 
purchasing foreign com. The troubled fitato of tbe Continent renders an 
exchange, in the shape of foreign trade, highly improbable; and paying 
for it In gold, instead of goods, limits our circulating medium, ren¬ 
dering money scarce. Preparations for such a contingency being SO 
generally irflopted In quarters usually the bust Informed, inspires a belief that the 
It arrest, under the most favourable cl renmshmctfa,may prove scarcely on average. 
Such a prospect, in the present absence of employment at home, and the anl- 
vCTBfti ccssaiton of trade abroinE, cannot be reganled wirtinut the most to tense 
alarm. At present, however, it may be reasonably hoped that the dread orsticn 
u probablllh’ lias created more than usual caution. In that case the measurtw 
adopted by the monied Interest can only be regarded m prudent preparations, 
and not the. result of any knowledge tlmt a deficiency la the crop Is certain. 

Inaction wa* theprtodpal ckaxarteristic of Monday's market. A gonoru) In¬ 
clination. to avoid business until the arrival Of accounts from D«land,descnpbvfl 
of the feelings with which the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act w as re¬ 
ceived prevailed. Consuls opened ut mb odvanefld to M7L and dosed at »74 
for Money, and 87^ to i for Time. But on Tuesday a decline of U per 
cunt, was registered, Tire tmfavourable state of the weather for the harvest, the 
probability of the interference of Franco fn Italy, aad tho anxiety regarding Irish 
affairs, agitated tho market during the day. At opening the market was heavy, 
at Jffi J d, gradually declining to BG*to L afterwards improving to h v heu f Juat 

pruvlotisly to the close of huai ness, a sadden full to i occtu*red. A partial 
recovery aucceeded on Woflneuday, Consola opening at to £6* and advancing 
progressively to S6j for the Account. This price, however, soon deeUnud, and 
t+Gl t was the last quotation. Thursday's market displayed soma buoyancy ; at 
opening, Cotiaols quoting set to ^ for August, and gradually iidvanciugto HfiJ f. 
Upon too receipt of the Irish Into!lienee, a fell of one per cent. Immediately oc¬ 
curred ; but doubts being entertained of Ite correctness (at least to tlte full ox- 
tent), prices rallied, and 8fii wo* the last quotation. Exchequer Bills have gra¬ 
dually declined* and on Thursday suddenly foil fet., upon a Urge sale made by the 
gentleman wht> usually acts for tho Bank of England. India Bonds have not 
materially varied. The market: ftt Closing was heavy, at the following rates 
Bank Stock, IBS; Reduced, 8.^ ; Consol* flfli ; New pcrCeut. Aimui- 
rlca, 8GI; Long Annnlfles (to expire Jau. t 1860), S I3-I6toi ; Ditto, 30 years

pr-; Small, June, 24 pr. 

There has been a very limited hnslnesa transacted In Foreign Securities, and ge¬ 
nerally at a decline. Butch Stock box not maintained the value of the preceding 
week, but Mexican bos boon more In demand, although not sufficient to create 
any advance In prices. Thursday^ news canned a general reuetJDn, and no change 
of importance afterwards occurred, as the closing prices will display Brazi¬ 
lian Bonds, Small, 70; Mexican, Account, 17J; Russian Bondi, j Spanish 
Five per CenL, 1U4G, ll±; Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cent., 68i Dutch Two-

Maraufeof Bfandford, flte. Tho nieetiug was numerously attended hy the work¬ 
ing eiftsfies. The Cbalrtimn having introduced the burinesHj Mr. A- Campbell 
(Secretary to tlui AAseelaUon), In ex|jlainJi]g Iho leading features of the plan, 
said that the committee had came to the conclusion that the Hrltiah North Ame- 
rfeim colonies being ihe nearest to Hie Ufotlwr country» were preferable to twi se¬ 
lected* and proposed to purchase Inrgo tracts of this territory from tho Goyarn- 
inErnt* and colon feu it upon the ijriudplea of association ; tliot was* by cnmbtning 
the labour, capital* and skill of tho working clusujsi. It was proposed 
also that a railway 600 mhos In extent should bn constructed between Hollfai 
imd Quebec, to provide good mad communication between the different 
scitfoments. Tho association would send out its piouwra to nniko the noces- 
nnry preparatory lueasiires for the reception and comfortable location Ot 
the emigrants. Tho first ro^luifon, which was adopted, nfflnaed the necessity 
of a edimiralianstve and welhorganixed system of emigration, in order to pro¬ 
vide remunerative employment for the surplus population of this country* The 
next wan in snbfitajnce its fallowsThat it la the opinion of this meeting, that 
tho plait proposed by the working classes* to be carried Into effect from their 
own resomxfrs and called the Canadian Und and Railway Investment Associa¬ 
tion, h®enis to offer, in many pan** a large Hold for the profUahfo employment 
of labour, skill, and capital* if conducted upon the principle" of association, and 
the company author feed by Royal Charter/’ Mr. Miles, M*P„ moyfid a third 
resolution* to the effect that a v&Umtaty BUbscription should be rofectl to defray 
the exiieiwert of dlfftulng Information respecting tbe project* as the statute im¬ 
peratively restricts the company to an outlay not exceeding 6d. per share for 
tit La preliminary purpose.—Fowud. This terminated the proewdings*

[July 29, 1848. 


REMOVAL OF A DWELLING-HOUSE AT IPSWICH. 

Although the economy, under certain rireumstiuices, of removing entire 
buildings, either of brick or stone, lias been fully end repeatedly demonstrated 
by our Transatlantic brethren, the emmple has not been extensively followed in 
thin country. The greatest undertaking of the kind was, wo believe, performed 
some years since; this woo the removal of the Sunderland lighthouse, a stone 
building, 69 ft, high, and i h ft. in diameter at the base, to the end of tta New 
Pier, whore it now stands, being 4*7 ft. 4 in. from Its original position. 

Our Engraving represents a similar experiment that has lately been success¬ 
fully carried out upon a brick-built dwelling-hem so on Messrs* ltartsome and 
May’s Orwell Works, at Ipswich, 

These gentlemen, having added upwards of an acre of ground to this already 
extensive establishment, found that the luraaa in question Blood In the way of 
the proposed additions to the machinery and workshops employed in the gene¬ 
ral manufacture of railway appliances and agricultural implements; accord¬ 
ingly It was at once decided to remove the opposing house to the new boundary 
Inc, a distance of TO ft. 

The following Is the plan of operations 

A seriesof holes, 6 in. square and 
3 ft. apart, were first cut through 
the baric-end wall, near the 
ground, through theso holes were 
Inserted Umbers (A, Fig. 1), about 
6 inches square and 4 or 5 feet 
Jong, resting on blocks (B E) 
between these blocks and the 
timbers were Inserted a pair of 
folding wedges (C C), These be¬ 
ing set up tight, part of the 
foundation (10 was taken away, 
and In Its place a timber (E) was 
laid, with folding wedges (F) be¬ 
tween it and the remains of the 
foundation. Holes were then cut 



in the side walls, opposite the chimney H (Fig. 3), to admit the timbers 11. 
After these had been placed, (ho front end wa* supported In the same manner as 
the hack {£, Fig. 2), These four timbers being blocked up under the two ends 
and chimney, hales were cut along the aides (k K). between the cross timbers, 
the same as over E* Fig. 2 ; and imppnrted as A, Fig. I. The side found lit ions 
were then removed, and the timbers H (Fig. 4), with a Joint of mortar to bed the 
brickwork npon, were Inserted under the cross timbers (I I) anti end timbers 
(E J, Fig. 3b and, with the timber U carried the entire weight of the building. 


TO MDIiLE. JENNY LIND- 

[ M jEN>nr Lm».—We cannot refuse ourselves the pleasure of recording a generous 
and truly characteristic act Of this exquisite singorand noble-hearted woman, which 
hue J li st come to our knowledge. Madame Solar!, the Wdlbkqown **&»nda donna of 
Her Majesty's Theatre, has recently been suffering under a pulmonary complaint, of 
so serious a nature that her physicians have announced the necessity of her Im¬ 
mediately rclInqubthiTig her profession, and returning to her native land. Yes¬ 
terday, when on the point of daparture, the afflicted artittt received a note, 
signed * Jenny Lind." The gifted writer, after expressing in terms of delicate 
kindness her lively sympathy with her sister vocalist, adds, that she cannot 
allow hor to depart without some token of remembrance and regard—that 
Madame Solarl must not deprive herself of any comfort which her state requires 
—and that If at any time she should feel the need of a friend, she must write to 
■Jenny Lind.' The letter contained a bank note for .£ioo. We art) sure there 
Ji not one among the multitudes tta&t have been entranced by this lady's genius 
who will not feal that, even the genius of 'the Lind* must yield the polio 
of genuine nobleness to the virtues of the womanAfomqr Chrmkic, July 24, 
IB©.] 

Oh, Jenny, charming Jenny 1 
Wbifc is that you do? 

Will plaudits not suffice you. 

From all the crowds that prize you, 

But you must act thus kintUy? 

And make us love you blindly. 

And win not plaudits merely. 

Which you deserve so dearly. 

But our aftectioiifl too ? 

Oh , Jenny, gentle Jenny I 
You keep our fervour warm; 

Sweet singer, fair cajoler. 

Kind-hearted grief-consoler. 

For charms we bend before yon, 

For goodness w© adore yon, 

We hear your voice enraptured. 

But by your worth we're captured. 

You take our hearts by storm. 

Charles Mackay. 




Teh new Lantern has Just boon manufactured by Mr. W. 
Wilkins, of 24 and 2S, Long Acre, by order of the Honour¬ 
able Corporation of the Trinity House, for the Eddy stone 
Lighthouse, off the port of Plymouth* 

This Lantern is of very large dimensions. The frame is of 
gnoriuetah and, exclusive of tbs light apparatus. It weighs 
about 7 tone* The extreme external diameter is L1 feet 4 
inches; the height of the glass (nearly three-fourths of an 
Inch thick, beat English manufacture! Is 6 feet; the height 
or the roof la 6 foot ft Inches; bright of ball and vane, 6 
feet; and the total height from the floor to ilia summit or 
the vane is 30 feet; it Is lighted by a fixed dioptric light ap¬ 
paratus of the second order, on tbs most improved construc¬ 
tion, having refractors and cones of polished gloss, Illumi¬ 
nating the whole of the horizon, and burning at about 00 
feet above the level of the sea. 

To explain the Improved points of construct!an in this new 
Lantern, wo add a sectional Illustration;—A is tho Lantern ; 
JJ* the pedestal; C, the cupola ; and D,\the ventilating ball. 

E E are upriaht supports, which. Instead of being Stache* 
wide, as in the old lantern, are only i$ inches wide s thus a 
larger body of light is gained, for the old supports obstructed 
tho light to the effect of 7 degrees when a ship was at save 
distance off. Tbs now supports are fixed Into the granite 
pedestal by means of tho long iron shafts, F F* and secured 
to tho base by the bolts & G; the supports terminating in - 
a graceful scroll. The roof or cupola la sustained by the 
rafters, and lute external and Internal support, by means 
of which much additional strength la gained. An elegant 
vane surmounts the cupola, and Is an useful as well as orna¬ 
mental finish. 

Another novelty Is 11, a golly to carry off the water, which 
flown into a pipe passing down one side of the Lantern. 

What a marvel of construction has been this famed Eddjr 
Ktono Lighthouse of Smeaton, which has now withstood the 
storm* of three-quarters of a century: 

Rn-lNTEnifCENT of Guwdx£oa + s Hahaim.—O ar readers 
will remember the excitement caused lu the antiquarian 
world by tho discovery of the coffins of tho Norman Gundroda 
and William de Warenne In tho Priory ruins at Lewes, last 
year. On Tuesday, the 10th instant, these remains were In¬ 
terred in Southover Church, where the very Interesting 
caned Norman slab which formerly covered Gundreda’s grave 
in the Priory has been placed for some years. A mausoleum, 
of Caen stone, has been erected on the south aide of the 
church .—The Amififtr* 

The export of silk from China lo England from July,

COUNTRY NEWS * 


Sympathy with Rks^uox,—Liverpool—T here being reason to apprehend 
a move merit in Liverpool, to act as a diversion in favour of the insurgents, 
should a rising take place in Ireland, preparations are accordingly being mndo 
by our local authorities to guard against a surprise. From the Liverpool papers 
of Tuesday wo I earn that 20,000 special constables have been sworn In In the se¬ 
veral wards of that town. Steps have also been taken to organise the corps and 
to appoint leaders. A place of rendezvous has been taken in each ward, and 
there a guard Is placed nEght and day* to gllc the alarm, should the necessity 
for bo doing arise. About 1000 men belonging to the dock works have been 
swam In and amply provided with formidable weapons, and all the public build¬ 
ings in the town are guarded day and night. There can he no doubt, it is stated, 
that Con federate Clubs are being formed In Liverpool, for the avowed purpose of 
aiding tho people of Ireland In any Insurrectionary movement which may be 
originated. The Idea la. that by rising In Liverpool, Glasgow, and 
other places, whenever a rebellion break* out In Ireland, troops, instead of being 
sent across the water, will be kept at home to put down disturbances, and thus 
the forces of the Government In Ireland will bo considerably weakened. It h 
(dated that Clubs to the number of fifty have been es tub] [ritual in the former 
town; that they number 100 men each. The subscription of each member lo 
Is. a week. The money is spent In the purchase of fire-nmis, the general price 
being about 12s. 6d. a piece. Every night for tho payment of subscription* a 
raffle Lukes place for the muskets which the members are enabled to procure 
with the subscriptions. Several arrests have taken place; and it I* hoped that 
the bold front displayed by the authorities will have the effect of preventing 
the contemplated outbreak,' It may lie atated here, ns a rircum&tance showing 
how much on the alert are those who are endeavouring to repress the rebellions 
movements of the disaffected* that information was received yesterday morning 
by the authorities, that two sous of Hyland, the notorious pike-maker of Dublin, 
arrived from Hint city in Liverpool on Monday last.

No. 329.— Vol. Xffl.] FOE THE WEEK ENDING SATURDAY, AUGUST S, 1848. 


JUVENILE CRIME AND EMIGRATION, 

The conviction has gained ground rapidly within the laat few 
months, that systematic colonisation is at once the most interesting 
and the most important question of our age ; and that, in neglect¬ 
ing to avail ourselves more fully of the magnificent resources of 
our colonial possessions, we have retarded their prosperity, and 
very seriously injured onr own. So much, however, must be done, 
if we would effectually relieve our overburdened population at 
home, and as effectually serve onr scantily-peopled dependencies 
abroad, that we need not indulge the hope that any large plan of 
colonisation can he speedily matured and carried into operation. 
Although opinions are all but unanimous that something must be 
done, opinions are very far from being agreed, either as to the ex* 
tent of the task, or as to the means of its accomplishment. We may 
therefore expect, amid all onr troubles and perplexities, that a con¬ 
siderable time will elapse before such general agreement is attained, 
as will justify the hdpe that Parliament will undertake the matter, 
or even understand it in all its comprehensiveness. Every one 
knows that we have immense and highly productive possessions, re¬ 
quiring nothing bnt labour to make them prosperous and happy, 
mid that we have large bodies of men at home who offer their 
labour and skill for hire, and find no purchasers who need them; 
bnt the problem is, how to bring the two sets of circum¬ 
stances together, for the mutual advantage of those who 
starve at homo because no one will employ them, and those who 
suffer abroad because they cannot get hands to do their necessary 
work? To that problem no sufficient answer has yet been given. 
Mirny minds are, however, at work upon it. The more it is dis¬ 
cussed, the greater probability there will be of a satisfactory solution; 
and we therefore hold it of good augury that the question fa con¬ 
sidered of such importance as it is, and that we hear of Emigration 
and Colonisation in quarters that used seldom or never to allow 
such Subjects to interfere with their quietude or their meditations. 
In the meantime, a light is breaking upon the public. Those who 
cannot see how a plan large enough for the national urgency of 
the case can be adopted m the aggregate, can yet see how much 


may be done in detail to relievo ns of a burden and to benefit the | 
colonies. It begins to be recognised as a truth, that, with the 
enormous demands upon our resources which must be met, it is a 
foolish, if not a suicidal policy to waste our money. It is, at the 
same time, recognised that wo do waste our money abroad by send¬ 
ing too many soldiers and too few labourers to onr colonies ; and 
that we still more perniciously waste it at home, by allowing 
young paupers to become criminals, and by suffering them to be 
trained up for the penitentiaries, the balks, or the gallows, at a 
large cost, instead of being sent abroad, at a small cost, to increase 
the wealth of the world, and consequently our own. 

Upon the first item of onr national extravagance the speech of 
Sir William Moles worth, alluded to in onr last, gave some instruc¬ 
tive details, which will not, we venture to predict, be lost upon the 
mind of the community or upon the Government. Upon the second 
point we intend to offer a few observations to-day, as the subject is 
before the public. Lord Ashley’s speech upon the juvenile destitu¬ 
tion and crime of the metropolis, upon moving that an annual 
grant should be made for aiding Emigration from the Ragged 
Schools of London* showed to some [extent the enormity of the 
mischief existing at home, and the immensity of the good that 
might be done in the colonies, by the voluntary expatriation of the 
young outcasts of society. The subject has since been brought 
forward more generally by Lord Kinnaird, in a letter to Mr. Wylie, 
of Liverpool, who had transmitted to his Lordship the petition of 
the magistrates of that town relative to juvenile delinquency and 
its cost. The petition contained . a statement of the actual cost 
attending the prosecution of fourteen juvenile offenders. Out of 
these fourteen children it appeared there was but one of whom 
there was any hope of reformation. Ten had been transported. 
One, under ten years of age, had been committed eleven times in 
five years, and had already cost the country £64 6s. 6£d. Another, 
aged nine years, had been committed four times, and discharged 
twelve. The cost of his prosecutions amounted to £64 18a. The 
aggregate coat of apprehension, maintenance, prosecution, and pu- 1 
niBhment of these fourteen children amounted to £989. ‘‘There 


[Sixpence. 

would be every chance,” flays Lord Einnaird, 14 that, if these 
children, instead of being committed to prison, were sent to a refor¬ 
matory school, at an expenditure varying from £5 to £7 per an¬ 
num, or a total cost of under £25 or £30, they might have become 
useful members of society, either at home or abroad/’ In Ms 
Lordship’s opinion every one will agree. The experience 
of London and Liverpool thus coincide; and, in fact, 
we have but to examine the records of all the prisons of the Empire, 
to find ample corroboration. In the 29th Report of the Warwick¬ 
shire County Asylum, just published, it is affirmed that every year’s 
experience renders more clear the duty and expediency, as well as 
the economy, of making public provision for the reformation of 
juvenile offenders. The report contains tables showing the actual 
cost of reformations, and the comparatively small loss there is upon 
f tilures. The Committee remark upon the miserable policy of pur¬ 
suing boys to transportation or to death at a cost of £63 8 s. per 
head, when they might be restored, and become useful members of 
society, at less than half that amount. In a letter wMch is appended 
to the report, signed by the Rev, BL T. Townsend, that gentleman 
says i— 

" I do think that no man could have gone over the gaol with me last week, in 
its crowded state, without coming to the conclusion that a serious expense must 
fall on the public from the idleruss and contamination to which the Juvenile 
offenders were subjected m the gaol. Lot my one reflect upon the fact that, 
when * Juvenile offender becomes a confirmed thief, ha lives for fiver after at 
Other people’s expense. If Muprottcuied, Uieat other people's charges; if he 
is m $aoh Ac is supported there at the public cost; if he is at largr^ he Uses upon 
other people's property; ifheit transported, he neither pays Me own passage nor 
the cost of Ms maintenance in the penal colony. Lot him reflect upon this, and bo 
will see that the expenses incident to keeping up Warwick Gaol, so as almost to 
render it a n ursery and school for crime, cannot bo rightly estimated by any 
calculation of expenses Incurred within its walls. Let him reflect upon the 
vast expenditure thus attaching to the present system; let him think upon the 
heavy responsibility, I should rather say the enrao, of confirming tho young In 
wickedness, and he will, 1 should Imagine, become an advocate for the adop¬ 
tion of some hotter system, which, in providing for the reformation of Juvenile 
offenders, will combine the fulfilment of a religion# duty with a measure of po¬ 
litical expediency imd of true economy/*

, There la no news of partlcul «t in teroat th Is week from Franca. The B tshop of 
Digue, the newly appointed Archbishop of Paris, had arrived in the capital for 
t the pnroose of paying a nbflft visit to Gcnenil Cavalgnac. He proposes to return 
to St. Esprit, his paternal residence, where he will remain until the next con¬ 
sistory to be held at Rome, when ills election yrfll be eon firmed. 

Opinion respecting the fate of the prisoners tried for taking part In the insur¬ 
rection was divided. While It wiw certain that several of them would he sent to 
Senegal, and a much larger number to Algeria, ttwna also umteptoml that, aotna

continued with unceasing activity. On Saturday a number of muskets were

for the last three years it has Irecn the policy of that body, on pri¬ 
vate as well as public grounds, steadily to oppose all outlay of 
money on any public works which could possibly be avoided, , 
Hence gaols, court-houses* bridges, roads, &c*, hove been left cither 
unfinished or not commenced at all. The same policy has na¬ 
turally influenced private individuals, and, consequently, 1 feel I 


much longer deferred*** 

« The wealthiest,” adds Lord Kinnairil, M are frequently obliged 
to perform for themselves and their friends the most menial offices; 
and instances are given in the same letter of sheep being folded 
under the drawingroom windows, and watched by the owners all 
night, a substitute not being forthcoming at any price to replace 
those of whose services they have been deprived by death or other¬ 
wise. A very trifling addition bos lieen made since February, 
1846, to the labouring classes of the colony by means of emigration, 
but the flocks have increased by nearly ten millions of sheep* For 
want of people to look after them, the wool is wasted, and thou¬ 
sands of sheep em boiled down for tallow." 

Of course there can be no dispute that Emigration is the remedy 
both for us and the Colonies. It should, however, be fairly adopted. 


On Monday, In the National Assembly, at* Muuguin brought forw»Td his mo¬ 
tion on the relations of France with the other powers of Europe, notwHhitonfl- 
Inc an appeal made to him by M Baatlfio against the raising of such a debate at 
the present eventful period,, who declared that although ho could not prevent 
M. MaugUld from making Ills speech, be could, and. was hi duty bound to avoid 
answering it* M. Mauguto’a speech wju a very long and very rambling one. 
Some charges of a personal nature, which he brought against the members of 
the administration, brought M. Bustide and General Cwaignoc Into the tribune; 
tut ultimately the Assembly passed to the ordorof the day, which was the discus¬ 
sion on M* Thiers" report on M* Prudhon’s preposition relative to the reintre of 
one-third of all sorts of revenues. The bon. deputy developed Ids motion In an 
elaborate speech, contending that his proposition was the natural sequence of the 
Revolution* Hcconaldcred that property will either destroy tho Republic, ar the 
Republic will destroy property. The revolution of February was, in his opinion, 
the winding up of the old state of society, and If property resisted it should ba 
Mixed by furoe* If the tax ho proposed on property was n spoliation, the tui on 
labour was au assassination* . _ .. t

was proposed by another member, thut the speech Of M. Prndhon should be ex¬ 
cluded from tho ifoRifcwr, and that all Journals reporting it should he prose¬ 
cuted. This, however, was opposed luyM-Duptn. M- Thiers said: “I am of

which we have now alluded. It m vmk this hope that we have vtoid, It appears that the hectolitre of whrat sow, an an average, for 17 1 


abould sot be delayed in its application until the recipient of the 
national relief should have qualified himself by his dishonesty. 

Lord Kinmurd proposes^ in the first place, that an association for 
the promotion of emigration in the British colonies, with branches, 
&c*, should be established on the most extended iscale—with such 
a committee, for instance, aa was formed for the relief of Irish dis¬ 
tress - and, secondly, that corresponding associations should lie es¬ 
tablished in our colonies, by which means the niott correct informa¬ 
tion might be furnished to those wishing to emigrate* Thirdly, he 
proposes that half the cost of transit should be borne by this 
country, and half by tbs colonies—an arrangement which some 
might consider fair enough, if the colonics were in a condition to 
accede to it* To us, however, it seems that, aa regards juvenile 
criminals alone, we should not ask the colonics to contribute a 
farthing* It is not only more philanthropic, more just, more 
Christian, more desirable in every way, to reform our criminals than 
to punish them, but it is cheaper ' Wc do not ask cur cobnies to 
bear a portion cf the large expense of puniahmeat, neither should 
we expect them to bear any portion of the smaller and more agree¬ 
able expense of reforming them by means of emigration, seeing that 
however much we may benefit "the colonies by the scheme, we 
benefit ourselves still more largely and saiisfactoriiy, both as indi¬ 
vidual and as a nation* If for one pound spent in emigration we 
save three or four in the maintenance of our prisons, we are 
gainers in every way—gainers in good deeds, gainers in mere 
money, and benefactors of our colonies* As regards, however, the ge¬ 
neral subject of emigration and colonisation, there can, we think, bo 
no doubt that the coionics ought to bo called upon, and would 
willingly contribute to the lunds for sending them competent 
adults in sufficient numbers- As regards juvenile offenders, it 
Ebonld be our business and ours alone, to bear the cost of putting 
them in the war of becoming usetiil members of society. They 
are our children, and upon us the duty devolves in justice of doing 
something better for them than we have hitherto done. Fortu¬ 
nately tire subject is so far a practical one* It ii not hampered 
with the difficulties that attend the larger question of systematic 
colonisation by adults. There is every probability that while the 


dwelt upon and shall again return to it.

from tho quantity of stock tiiruvm on toe market, but which b&B net succeeded, 
tor we find that a BtUl S arthtr aeuresslon took place on Tuesday* 

On Wednesday, in the National Assembly, the adjourned debate was resumed 
cm too question of a m on revenuea derived from mortgages* M- Gnuln, iu too 
nemo of the Finance Comaxlttee, proceeded to oppose the bbl in question, which 
bo denounced as little calculated to promote labour or to eneounigo the circu¬ 
lation of capital. M* Thlere rose In tiro course of the debate which ensued, and 
exnresaert hi» own private opinion to the effect that the tax in question, u& a per- 
mantot Impost, was cruel, unjust, and radically opposed l« #U principles of 
finance- As an expedient he thought St was Insufficient, and would not 
eompmiMto tor the shock which it might give the public credit. M. 
Thiera observed that he should greatly prefer au income ha, which 
hud already been levied In France before Uie Revolution. M. Ouudcbapt, 
Minister of Finance, defended the measure, at the same tlnro disclaiming 
all ceimwrioti with toe ■■insane doctrinea developed since too Revo¬ 
lution." The hon, Minlsim, after Insisting on the fart that tide lax was only a 
temporary one, declared that the Government had detemtined to make Its adap¬ 
tions Cabinet question; but subsequently retraotedtius declaraiiou.lii accordance 
With the seuift of the Chamber* After a (speech from M* Berryor, the general 
discussion was closed. Tbc Finance Committee, to whteli the project of decree 
bad been referred, had recommended its rejection. This proposition having 
been put from tho choir, was negatived by u very small majority, and the As¬ 
sembly prtceaded to discuss too Hret article, to tbc effect of authorising the esta¬ 
blishment of a direct tax, of onc-fiftb, tor im only, m the raycuues derivedfrom 
mortgages existing prorioui to toe tilth April last. . .

They had detenniried to vote together* It appears, however, that discord has 
again arisen amongst Its m&mbora, and the advanced party has formed a body 
apart, styled pure or absolute democrats. This club baa appointed a com*

ITALIAN STATES* 

Pieoiiont aisn Lombards.—T he accounts from too scat of war thie woak 
have boon moat conflicting. As well as wo can disentangle the confused state- 
monte that have reached us, they present In brief tiro following state of matters* 
The Austrians swept the whole country before them on the 23d ult., and were 
beaten on the 24th, On the 25th a battle raged between them and the Piedmon¬ 
tese until night, when too latter retreated, earning with them, however, 3000 
prisoners they had made on toe 24th. The details may be understood from what 
follows. On Sunday, tho 23 d, a part of ton Piedmontese army, being suddenly 
attacked, wa* forced fr> fall buck. On Monday, the 24th, Charles Albert, having 
hastened tip from Marmlrole to Villa Franca, re-took the positions which baa 
been captured the day before, re-established his entire line, and, after eight 
hours' combat, eauaed the Austrians such considerable losses as to open to him 
tiro prospective of a complete victory on the monw. 

On Tuesday* the 2fith, whilst tho Piedmontese artillery thnndered from the 
heights of Semina Compagua on tiro already shattered Austrian army, a new 
corps of the enemy* which came out from Verona, w here Radatrky had concen¬ 
trated AU bis forces from Legnsno and Vicenza, attacked the rear Of too Pled- 
tnoitteso army. This movement had been only rendered possible by tbs defec¬ 
tion, or rather tile wont or courage of tho new Lombard levies and the treason 
of tiro Modenese, who, on the approach of tire Austrians bring signal led 
at Sollonze and Maiutembuno, abandoned all their positions, and tha 
posts confided to their guard. The Piedmontese were therefore obliged, 
after a meritorious resistance, to retire on Villa Franca; after night¬ 
fall Jt was found necessary to continue this movement of retreat and 
to fall back on GoftO, wjUcb they did to gond order, carrying with them 2A0O 
prisoners, living proofb of the bright success which marked the 24th. Tltia 
movement of Charles Albert is oiplatocd by tiro necessity bo was under of re¬ 
joining his rosfiirres on tba Him of the Hindu* Feschleru Ur defended by the left 
whig of the army, commanded by General de Sou mu'. 

Home*—T ho neutral attiluda which the Pope wishes to hold respecting the 
Austrians, against whore hia subjects wish Iris Holiness formally to declare, baa 
shorn him nf much of bia popularity, particularly os bis Prime Mlnioter, Uaml- 
ani, and his colleagues, we said to be in favour of war against Austria* This 
state of matters has led to tho re oat unfounded nitnoura in the Fran eh journals, 
about a* “ Provh^bdil Government" having been formed, and other revolution¬ 
ary steps taken by the people of the '* Eternal City.” Letters from Romo of toe 
24tb ult. glvo the moat positive contradiction to those reports, and mention that 
there had been an Idea entertained of appointing a Committee of War, which, 
lsad given rise to the report of a " Provisional Government," Tho Ministry of 
H. Mamiuni had retired definitively. Tbc Chamber of Deputies had suspended 
its sittings until the formation of a new Cabinet* It w as reported that the Poye 
had requested M. Rossi, the late French Ambassador, to compose a Ministry, but 
he had declined the honour. Rome was tolerably tranquil. 

On Wednesday, the SGtii, mother great battle was fought between tho Aus¬ 
trians and the Piedmontese, which ended In the total defeat of tbe latter, after a 
most gallant resistance for twelve hours, their retreat beyond the 11 to l to to 
Asnlft, and their partial disorganisation. The following particulars of the bat Go 
are interestingThe principal attack was directed against Cntoza, Somma Cato- 
pagua, and Scuta, where the Au^trluns were in forte* well provided with artib 
Icrv, and a large body of Hussars, ready to profit by any Lrceuatonthnt presented 
itself. The attack was impetuous, and tho resistance great, but the valour PT 
tlie Piedmontese prevailed, and all tiro position* wore for a moment to their 
hands; but the Austrian a were reinforced by drafts from tiielr battalion* on 
tiro Mlncio, and the Piedmontese were driven hack* Not undaunted by this 
reverse* tho gallaui. band of Charles Albert ra-foramd at the foot of tiro 
height*, and again advanced, carrying everything before them ; but on the 
hills they were again met by Increased forces, and the battle bung for 
time Itl suspense. The troops had new fought from tree In the morning 
till live to tiro evening. They were left without refreshment, and no cote had 
been tuken to provide for a reserve. At this monront Jtadeteky, who seemed to 
have calculated everything with tiro greatest precision, advanced from Verona 
at tiro Jroad of 20,000 men ho hud called to from Venice, Yiccaxn, Padua, and 
the whole of the Venctbi* and falling witii there fresh troops oil tiro flank of the 
exhausted Sardinians* whilst Aspre renewed Me attack in front, Charles Albert 
was compel led io yield victory for toe first time to a pitched buttle, and to re¬ 
tire ou Villatr&aca. During toe hottest of the fight at Custoza, the King and 
his two sons, and the regiment of carabineers who now accompany him, were 
surrounded, but tba brigade of Savoy made a dash at this moment of active 
peril* and gallantly liberated Charles Albert and the Princes* Charles Albert la 
said to have applied to France for tiro aid af 60,000 troops. 

GERMAN STATES, 

FaaNKFoaT*—Adv ices to the a tot ult* have readied us. The National Assem¬ 
bly hod received an address from a political club in ’VVbtomherg. thanking It for 
the energy It displayed witii reference io the retrograde declarations of tbo kin^ 
of Hanover. A congress of working men, now being held to Frankfort, w&a 
making considerable progress in its interesting and importuot labour*, It had 
decided that every German should have the right to settle in any town of tba 
Confederation upon curtain eu.«y conditions 5 and that every employer should 
be empowered io deduct one siltrorgi osehen per week (about five farthing*) from 
the wages of bls^cn, In order to procure st general fund ior pi unioning off dis¬ 
abled journeymen after they have attained their Mte Lb year. 

PRUSSIA. 

The Berlin papofe of the i&tb ult. contain important declarations made by the 
Minister Von Atrorswuld in tlie National Assembly* Firet, with regard to the 
affairs of Denmark* and secondly with regard to the oath of allegiance lt> 
be taken to Archduke John, as Vicar of tiro Empire* Herr Von Auers wall 

said;— m 

«It has been made known that the negutlaiJims for an armlatice between the 
Chiefs In command of the German troops to Schleswig irnd the Danish CtUu- 
maTider have failed. I find it neceao&ry to add. that tho temporary failure of 
our endeavours io this affair, to which our uneeaulng efforts have been directed, 
haa not fieriroyed the hope of our being able to attain in a short time tha 
object desired* All that was possible to bo done In reference to the affair 
bos been done. This state of matters does not allow me to communicate imme¬ 
diately to you the negotiations which bine taken place, and tiro conduct of tbo 
Government. But I hope that tiro time is near at band when till* can bo done, 

I Lope you will be convinced that the Government of tiro king has not for a 
moment ceased to be mind tel of the serious condition of the commerce of tbo 
eastern *ea, and Its consequence tea iureo portion of toe Momdtoy, mid the 
maintenance of the honour » TriroHla and Germany/* 

The Minibter having mads this public deciarnttou reapectifigfldltieswig-HoL 
stein, then proceeded to remark on the question of tiro emtb of allegiance to 
Archduke John* «s Vfaar of the Empire. He said M I do not ftea in the to- 
vitation of tiro Gorman Ministry of War so great a difficulty a* ha* been sought 
to be attached to 1L It la, perhaps, ou unusual demand { hut I do not feel my¬ 
self in a puriticiii to state my view to ho any other than that I hope this domestic 
affair wOJ easily be brought, to form as in reality* to an enderstondtog* As wa 
have started with the purpose of furthering the unity of Germany* wo will 
avoid nil regulation likely to endanger the dignity and Independence of 
Prussia/* 

Those statements were received with loud cheers* 

Amongst tiro persona who left Berlin on tho 27th Is General Major Van 
Below, who goes to Vienne, probably on an oilier mW&u to Archduke John. 

Iteckeruth, and other distinguished Frank fore Prussian deputies, have arrived 
at Berlin, to consult with tiro Government upon the Impostiuit buMrct of Prus¬

afeseut to the election of the Regent of tiro Empire, oed directing that ^wherever

AUSTRIA, 

Accounts from Vienna, to th©B7th nit,, represent thaDoblbofr Ministry a* pro - 
ceedinft rapidly towards the uim Hutation of the burwmerut fr of the Austrian Em¬ 
pire, scarcely one obnoxious anployi being left fn affic©. Amongst the removals 
was tint of (ho Count Von Brandis, the Governor of Tyrol and Voralbcrg, who 
had received notice to quit, on a. retiring pension. Hta Imperial Majesty had 
submitted with tolerable g<Jod grace to the deposition of the Count, one of his 
GSpcctal kvonrites. Archduke Stephen had arrived from Hungary, and the Ban 
of Croatia had arrived In Vienna. The departure of Archduke John to Frank¬ 
fort had been postponed until the Hungaro-Croatian question wag settled, lino 
return of the Emperor was again drlayed—this time on account of the illness of 
the Empress, which was surmised to be merely the same indisposition which had 
hitherto prevented her Imperial spouse from re turn Eng to his Austrian capital 
According io one of the Vienna Journals, the present Ministry had made the 
return of the Emperor to the capital the conditio sitm ytid noa of their continu¬ 
ance in office, m fact they appeared resolved to carry things with a high hand, 
and in the thoroughly democratic spirit. Meantime the committee of safety and 
the democratic eftib were m active and influential a* ever, and wore more than 
tolerated by the present Government, 

Amoug&t the proposition* which were to be discussed by the Austrian Diet 
were ihe followingThe non-appllcatlon of the future constitution for Austrian 
Germany to the other portions of the Austrian empire i the separation of Gal- 
lfda and Dalmatia from Austria Proper; and the abolition of all hereditary pri¬ 
vileges and feudal regulations- The Diet would thus have to decide on ques¬ 
tions of great importance in a national and international point of view* 

SWITZERLAND* 

Advices from Borne of the 97th alt state that the Diet has resolved to make 
a demand on the french Republic for the restoration of that portion of the terri¬ 
tory denominated the Valley of the Dappra, which the treaty of Vienna hud 
formally assigned to the Helvetic Republic, hat which the French Government 
had united to the department of the AIjb, In consideration of Us Importance in a 
strategic point Of view* The deputy of Vand, In supporting the resolution, Said, 
that It was to be hoped the Republican rtgime which had been Inaugurated In a 
neighbouring state would repudiate the faults of which two dynasties have been 
guilty to*i area a state which It was bound to treat with courtesy. In acting 
thus, the French Government would not only repair an act of great Injustice, 
but it would moreover accomplish an act of good policy. 

HUNGARY* 

In tire sitting of the Lower House, on th e flOth nit., Kossuth (the popular Minister) 
invited the Assembly to support the proposal for rending troops to assist Die 
Austrian Government In the prosecution of ihe war with Holy* This proposal 
it first met with opposition, but Kossuth declared the question a Cabinet one, 
and gave it tube understood that the only point he wished to Impress upon 
them was, that bis object Was to assist Austria in obtaining ait lion our able 
peace, but not strike any blow to the liberty of the Italians. The war was 
against Chur lea Albert, not against the Italians The moat significant part of 
Kossuth's speech was, however, that In which hu said«the desire Ea ex¬ 
pressed that wo should remove our troops from Italy, but, If wo do re, 3A,G60 
Croats would also return to their country, and they would give na fine work to 
do." Ibis threat seems to have had the best effect, for Kossuth's proposal was 
adopted, and It was decided to read *0,000 men to Italy to assist Austria. 

DENMARK AND SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN, 

The negotiations for a pacific arrangement of the questions at Issue between 
the belligerent parties bad been broken off, and both have resumed their former 
hostile attitude. 

The following Is the text of a proclamation issued by the Provisional Govern¬ 
ment of the Duchies:— 

11 FeUow-dttaens,—The negotiations which If was expected would lead to peace 
with Denmark have been terminated* Again hostilities have commenced—arms 
now decide between tia* Germany has proved that ah© desired peace. The most 
moderate demands have boon refused by Denmark. Dishotmumblo conditions 
have been rejected by the will of Germany, by the firmness of too brave gene ral 
who watches over our frontiers at iho head Of an army of Germany. 
People of Schleswig HoUlOin, we owe to our German country all our graft- 
tu.de. Prussia and the 10th Corps d’Armde huvq taken Up arms for our

made for the energetic prosecution of the war, Fellaw-citfreiis, we doubt not 
the sneceis Of Onr Just cause. Wc will not attack the rights of others. But 
what belongs to us, what has descended to us from our ancestors, that wo will

our country wc have had recourse to arms—fur her the blood of our German 
brethren has flowed. With them we will unite for victory or death.—(Signed)

PRINCIPALITIES of the DANUBE, 

At Bucharest affairs have again taken a turn, Thu Provisional Government 
have a second time got the power Into their own hands. Colonels Qdohesco and 
Salomon have, with their men. Joined the people. Notwithstanding the an¬ 
nouncement of the Russian Consul, nothing positive has yet been ascertained 
respecting the advance of the Russian troops. In fact, it almost seems a* if the 
whole were a fofte report. In Galatz a Turkish steamer Is said to have lauded 
20QO Turkish troops, who Immediately proceeded to Moldavia, 

RUSSIA. 

Count Von Nesselrode, Russian Minister Tor ForeJgu Affairs, has addressed a 
circular to all the Russian diplomatic itgun to at the Courts of Germany, relative 
to the situation of Prussia in regard to the other Powers respecting the affair* 
of Schleswig-Holstein and the Polish question. 

Count Nraselrod© dee!ares that, although the Muscovite Government might 
justly make the war with Denmark—the gratuitous transport on the German 
railway of those Pole© who wish to raise m insurrection in the countrv—the 
situation of Posen, Galicia, &c., a pretext for war, It nevertheless persists In 
its resolution of maintaining peace, and of continuing us heretofore Its ami¬ 
cable relatione with all the powers, and especially with Germany; that Conse¬ 
quently the Rufi53a.il troops concentrated cm the frontiers have no aggressive 
intention whatsoever,but only to be in a Mate of readiness in case of need. 

The accounts respecting the cholera mention that on the 19th ult* 304 per¬ 
sons sickened, 203 recovered, and lift died, Ou the 20th there wore 3359 cases 
under treatment. Several persons of rank end holding high official appoint¬ 
ments have fallen victims to this fatal malady. 

UNITED STATES, 

Accounts from New York to the 19th ult. have been received this week. The 
Inteltigenc© of the renewed insurrection Ja Paris had reached New York, and 
caused the greatest excitement there* 

The session of Congress of the United States presented no prospect of adjourn¬ 
ment, The great difficulty which arrested all progress was tho proper disposi¬ 
tion to be made of the nowly-aequlred territories of Now Mexico and California, 
04 also of tho territory of Oregon, The question Of slavery was the stumbling- 
block* Thh slftve-hddiag states insist that territory acquired by the common 
treasure and effort must ba for the common use and enjoyment, and that to ex¬ 
clude from such portion of that territory as may bo found favourable to sl&ve- 
jgrown products the employment Of slaves, is virtually to exclude therefrom the 
Stixeua of the slave-holding states. On the other hand T It U contended that ft 
would be a great crime in u free republic to plant slavery where It had no pre¬ 
vious existence; and, therefore, that inasmuch as tho new territories acquired 
from Mexico are free from slavery, it can never bo borne that the republic, In 
becoming masters of these territories, should Introduce slavery. 

A compromise had been attempted in Hie senate, with what success remains 
to be seen* 'Two propositions are before that body—the one to adopt the Une of 
the Missouri compromise, which would guarantee all the territory north of 
BC 20 to freedom, and surrender aJl south of It to slavery. Another preposition 
is io make all north of the Missouri compromise free, and to leave all south of 
ftopen to the decision of th© future inhabitants whether or dot slavery ahull 
exist there* Until this knotty and difficult question is disposed of, none of the 
bills for the government of th© new territory will be passed; and, as It is how 
late In the Session, and Congress have been together seven months and a half, it 
Moms quite probable the whole matter will go over to another Congress, leaving 
the terrttbrtos to be governed meanwhile under the general power of the execu¬ 
tive and such laws ju> actually exist therein. 

After the executive session at Washington, on th© l&tli, and before the adjourn¬ 
ment, Mr. Clayton, of Dd&war©, from tho Select Committee, reported a bill to 
establish a territorial government in Oregon, Now Mexico, and California, which 
wits read twice The hill leaves out th© slavey question altogether. Mr, Clay¬ 
ton sudd that the Committee adopted the Bill with great unanimity, only two

From Mexico the latest intelligcuco Is to the 27th of June, according to which 
Paredes bad thrown Id in self with a strong force into the town of Guanajuato. 
That movement seemed to be regarded on oil hands as a serious one. 

The revolution which was to have broken forth la the city of Mexico on tit© 
niffht of th© ‘ibth, had been deferred in consequence of the arrest of five of th© 
leuctera of it, and of a discovery made hy the police of 2ofl raiicskota which had

We I earn by this means the satisfactory intelligence that decided success had 
been obtained on two separate occasions, by the Sikh troops and irregulars under 
the British district officeis, over large bodice of tho Moo I tan rebels. Th© corps 


under tlis British officers now hold possession of tha forts of tlra Dora and tho 
line of tho Indus. Th© enemy's force In tho field at present consists of about 
3000 men and eight guns; white ours comprise throe mixed Sikh regiments, 
1500 irregular horse, eight guns, and 20 swivel pieces* A small body or Boloo- 
cbees, under ono of their chiefs, had joined the English standard and don© ex¬ 
cellent service. 

From Lahore we learn, that since the removal of the Ranee, our authorities 
lutliat capital continued to employ the most active efforts for securing Ito safe 
occupation, and In tracing out the late conspiracy and frustrating farther hos¬ 
tile Intentions. The accomplice in the recent plot, who had beeii reprieved on 
condition that he should point out the parties engaged, bad performed his pro¬ 
mts©. Soma 22 of our Sepoys were thereby implicated, of wham two had been 
executed, and 11 had escaped at the parading of the troops for their recognition. 
The detign of tho conspirators was to have admitted 5TO0 men 111 to La¬ 
bor©, who were to have fallen upon and maK&qml th© Europeans. Par¬ 
ties hod been concentrated in the neighbouring villages for that purpose. 
Extraordinary exertions meunwhlta continued to be made In th© repairs and 
additions required for the fortifications at Lahore, and the works are said to have 
proceeded In a most satisfactory maimer. Additional reinforcement had bcca 
ordered up. Another largo uiagoxln© of Dative powder, which was in our pos¬ 
session, but inconveuiemly situated, Imd been drenched. Secret store© of ball- 
cartridge to a great amount arc raid to have been discovered in the purlieus of

STATE OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH. 

(Pram the Qaarlerty Return.) 

Th© quarterly returns are obtained from 1 IT districts, sub-divided Into sub- 
districts ; 36 districts are In th© metropolis* and the roDoalnlng ttl comprise, with 
some agricultural districts, th© principal towns and cities of England, The 
population was G»G 12*963 in 1341. 

It la gratifying to observe a very remarkable improvement in the state of the 
public health. The number of deaths registered In til© three months ending 
June 30 t was 4G,Sfl2 ; which felwa hy U,1M than were registered in The winter 
quarter of tho present year, and leas by 5033 than were registered In tho corre¬ 
sponding quarter ending ihe test day of June, 1847* The mortality of the country, 
after having been wcceeriv©^ high during the latter half of th© year 1846, tha 
whole of !S47 r and the first quarter of 1348, Is now little above the average of 
tha nine years 1839—47. Th© mortality, however, Is still much higher than It 
was in Eh© spring quarter (April, May, and Juno) of 1844. when tbo number of 
deaths was only 38,977 ; which* taking the Increase of population into account, 
Implies a lowurrato of mortality than has been experienced In th© spring season 
of any other year* 

In London the deaths la th© quarter were U?*£H5* The deaths In the pro* 
ceding quarter were 1fi,455; in the quarter ending December, 1847, when 
Influenza prevailed, 19,605. Influenza has almost entirely disappeared * it was 
lb© cause of death in only 50 cases during til© 13 weeks ending In Juno. Small¬ 
pox wm fatal to USl persons in London; measles, to 306; scarlatina, to 816; 
hooping-cough, to 449 ; puerpure and scurvy, To 12; typhus* to 882? erysipelas, 
to 129* Smail-pox, acarlatina, and typhus, were prevailing epldctnica In Lon* 
don. Scarlatina in ono week destroyed 107 lives. Typhus was nt a miunmum 
(1279) in the laat quarter of the year 1847; ft Is now declining; hut It Is Invar 
riably longer In the epidemic form lhan othor diseases of the class. The dis¬ 
eases of the tubercular class, namely, scrofula, tabes, consumption, and hydro¬ 
cephalus, fluctuate very little: to them, 2M0 deaths were ascribed In the June 
quarter of 1841, aud 2403 in tho June quarter of Iftig; which were the highest 
aud lowest numbers returned In th© eight years 1941—ft, Diseases of the lungs 
declined rapidly: they were the cauao ©f 176 deaths In the first week, of 76 
deaths in the last week of th© quarter. 

Th© improvement in th© health of Liverpool is remarkable; white there were 
4S09 deaths in the Juno quarter, 1647, there were only 1907 deaths in the Juna 
quarter of 18 48. In Manchester, Birm Ingham, and Leeds there has also been some 
improvement. Smnil-pox and scarlatina have been the prevailing epidemics 
throughout the country. 

The deaths In London from diarrhoea, dysentery, aud cholera were tl f 23, 13, 
aud 14, in the first four weeks: 27,31,37, and 51, fn th© lust four weeks of the 
quarter. Th© mortality from tiiess diseases is somewhat higher than it was in 
Ihe corresponding weeks of 1847* The deaths ascribed to cholera In the June 
quarters of the eight year*, 1841“$, were, 1, 7* 6, 9, % 9. 4, 17; in th© 
lust year, therefore, though tho deaths ore not numerous, there Is a slight 
excess* 

There three dEncases are always most common in the three months of July, 
August, and September, when the temperature Is highest* The popular error 
which ascribes them to fruit was referred to last year. That It is an error, Is es¬ 
tablished by the fatalily of these diseases to infanta at the breast, to the oged, to 
persona in prison and public institutinno who procure uo fruit, and by many other 
authenticated facts. 

*•***«• 

Frair, potatoes, aud green vegetables are essential parts of the food of man; 
and it is only when taken to excess that, like other articles of diet, they disorder 
the Stomach* 

There is as yet in England no trace Of the epidemic of cholera which Is ra¬ 
vaging Russia from Moscow to St Foterahurgh anti ascendfojr the Danube* It 
raged In the Bummer of 1831, seventeen years ago, at 5t. Peteraburgh, reached 
Stftdorlaiul in October, London in February, 1832, Paris in March ef the samo 
year* Whether it irtU pursue the same caul's© now, travel at the same rate, 
and bo less or more fatal, must depend on a Variety of circumstances* Sf the 
visitation cannot be arrested It is greatly to be wished that It should be deferred* 
for though enlightened communities have before been too much In the habit Of 
postponing sanktoiy arrangement!*, and only commencing them when the 
plague, is actually fiewtr jylng them—whfrh Is very like admitting tho enemy 
within the city walla and then putting tii© fortifications in repair—ft to certain 
that the great capitals of tho Continent w ere never in a woreo condition to with¬ 
stand Emqpidemh- than they are at the presuut time. 

That much remains to be done in English towns Is evident from what is ob¬ 
served In London* It te on© of the best established truth* tn mcdlctd science— 
confirmed by the experience of tho army, the runy, the prisons, th© town and 
country districts of England—that pure water and pure air are necessaries of 
life; and in tho supply of these, London, though in a much hotter position than 
other places, is still deficient.

A part of tho mortality which men experience In early life ta perhaps in¬ 
evitable s but Ihis natural mortality cannot exceed the mortality in some of ihe 
districts of England comparatively healthy, where parts of tho population arc 
exposed to privation and injuries of various kinds. Now, In parts of Surrey and 
Devonshire about three or four in 10 children under five years of age die an¬ 
nually i in Lewisham, the healthiest district of London, the annual mortality la 
four and five in 10 annually; In nearly every district of London tho mortality 
of children k double Ihe mortality in the country; In many districts the mor¬ 
tality is triple the mortality which some persona may consider natural to man¬ 
kind. Of IfiOO men between the ages or forty *flvo and fifty-five living In a 
healthy district of England, about 12 die annually ; In nine districts of Loudon 
tile annuo] deaths among the same number of men at the same age varies from 
30 to 33*

NEW ROUTE FOR THE AUSTRALIAN MAILS 
THROUGH TORRES STRAITS* 

A tn out tiflae since there was published, by order of Purltamout, th© Report of 
th© Hydrographer of the Admiralty, on th© proposed route through Torre? 
Straita, for steamers convey! ng the American moOfl. This documeu t states 
44 it Is now acknowledged by ©very one tlmt a direct Intercourse by steam be* 
tween England and lhat group of colonies, of which Sydney Is tho centre, won Id 
In a short time double her capital, her population, and her produce, and the only 
questions are, which will bo tho best line to carry it, and how it can be most eco¬ 
nomically maintained ? Three-fourths of tho whole distance are already per* 
formed by the Hcng-Kong null to Singapore; end If the Sydney moils were to 
branch off from that port, and take th© ©astern line by Batavia and Torres 
Straits, they would iravera© smooth water seas, where a po&agu Is certain at all 
seasons, they would at once supersede th© ^earner which th© Dutch now ran 
from Java to meet cur packets: and they would likewise produce direct commu¬ 
nication between Australia and China, as well as the thro© praaldenries of India, 
which weald b© as beneficial to all those places os lucrative to the carriers. 
From Sydney the mails would be forwarded to the neighbouring settlements 
without delay, as there Is © regular overland post to Melbourne, and another 
tbeuoe to Adelaide. Steamers now ply regularly between Sydney and Port Phi* 
Up and Launceston, and ©stay contracts! might be mode for tho furtherance of tho 
mails to Swan River and New Zealand. 11 

The Report then urges the Lords of the Admiralty to recommend this 
improved, rapid communicailon of the above thriving and important 
settlements with the mother country? and this to be effected by a sufficient 
number of steam-vessels, of competent power, and by th© Singapore and Rata- 
vian rout©. 

The survey of Torres Straits has been a labour of very considerable Interest; 
and wo have, accordingly, availed ourselves of a few of Its incidents tor Illustra¬ 
tion In our pages, from sketches mad© by the draftsmen to the Expedition. 
It will he sufficient to premise that Torres, Straits are situated between the 
moat north-eastern part ef Australia aud the southern coast of Fapuo, or New 
Guinea- Tho latter country bad hitherto only betn seen from a distance, und 
not been visited by navigators, era account of the numerous dangers with which 
it in beset. 

Her Majesty^ surveying schooner Bramble, ss tender to her Mnjesty’s ship 
Flu, left England in May, IS43* under the command of Captain F. F. Blackwood, 
ft*&., aud a narrative of the Fitf* voyage haa been published by Mr Jukes. Th© 
Fly returned to England, 0 ,ud was paid offin June, 1846 i tn© Bramble remain¬ 
ing to continue tho survey, until her Majesty^ tfolp Rattleum under Hi© com¬ 
mand of Captain Stanley, ft.N*, arrived at Sydney, when the former was paid off, 
recommissioned, and attached to the tatter <h^ r former commander. Lieutenant 
Yule, still remaining) s aud they are at tho present moment employed, prose^ 
exiting their Important aud attluoua duty. 

As our Engravings illustrate certain adventures with tho wild people Of New 
Guinea, wo shall pass at once to that portion of the journal of th© Expedition 
which describes the localities and incidents. 

On the 10th of April. Ifflfo th© Bramble flighted th© toast of New Gaines, 
and discovered very high land, afterwards called Mount Victoria, which proved 
to be from lOJKJQ to Ll,(KK> feet to elevation. The ceost-^whi ;h, to the east¬ 
ward, had been found very flat and swampy—was here moderately high, and 
backed by mountains of magnificent loftiness and beauty ; and there were many 
villages, embowered in cocoa-nut trees, scattered along the shore. ThD dls- 
cuvery la thius described by on© of the officers At daybreak, as tha sun was 
rising, I was very much struck with the grandeur of some venr distant: moun¬ 
tains, in u south-eastern direction—cue In particular, llio outline of whosesum- 
mit was only visible above the intervening clouds* Iinmeuse ranges of moun¬ 
tains were also distinctly visible oil this side of it, extending in ft N.W. and S E 
direction. It is seldom the sun boa discovered to my tight so splendid a scene 
as here presented Itself ; but in a few minutes, when the sun h a di gc ap peared, 
th© spectacle vanished, leaving only Inferior cloud-topped mountains visible, to¬ 
gether with the rich undulating foreground F 
Shortly afterwards was seen the strange sail wo have figured. This, on 
being approached within gun-ehot, proved to be a gigantic doubto canoe, from 
50 feet to 60 foot In length, kept apart and together by a platform, from 15 to 23 
feet broad, w hich extended nearly tli© whol© length of tho canoes, the after end 
being square with the atoms of the boats j and six or eight feet ofthfo being ] e it 
clear for the three steersmen, who guided tho vessels with three tong paddles 
over th© stern* With th© exception of thin part of the platform, the whole was 
covered by a strong, well-built house, made of cane - t th© roof being flat, and 
about five or six feet above tho platform. This roof also answered the purpow) 
of an upper dock* The extraordinary craft was propelled by targe mat sails, 
each spread between two bamboo luasta, supported by diagonal poles for© and 
aft, ©neither side; the mast-heads being frmn 20 to 30 fret asunder. Betides 
those two large sails, th© canoe had other wmaller squate suspended from 
the principal masts j and thorovras likewise a eqnure-sail forward. The spars 
aud rigging were ornamented with Hags and streamers* There were about 40 
or SO persons upon the roof, several of whom wordatrlnging their bowa, but this 
was the only Indication of hostdiiy* WTience this odd craft came, and whither 
bound, was not ascertained. 

On the evening of the L6th, the Bramble anchored under a bluff headland, to 
which wad given tho name of Cap© Possession; from whence Mr. Yule commenced 
hi s triuiigutation; and this brings us to th© adventure depicted in the third Uju&- 
tratiou. 

At J0 i.H. a party proceeded towards tim shore (to obtain astronomical obser¬ 
vations), consisting Of Lieutenant Yule, Mr. Wright, five seamen, amj on© 
marine. In the first glgi Mr* FOJl .rd, Mr. Sweatman, flvo seamen, aud ou© 
marine, in tho second gig; both boat being well armed, and perfectly equipped to 
meet hostilities. On approaching itiu ^liorc, thuy found their lauding opposed by 
a heavy surf. Th© first gig was then anchored, and the second girt veered in 
from her through the surf; and with groat difficulty L ten tenant Yule* Mr 
Sweat man, three &eumen, and ouu marine, landed, keeping the LiustTsrmcntj* dry* 
Having made th© necessary observations. Lieutenant Yule next proceeded to 
hoist the union jack, and toko possession of the country (in ihemme of her 
Majesty Queen Victoria), which was acknowledged with three hearty cheors 
Thu party then prepared to re-einbork; but, in the attempt, th© second gig 
was swamped,and everything in her,including tho onm, lo4,©xcep: the 0 nintant 
and chronometer ; the boat Itself boing with difficulty saved by >^ing towed 
outside thu surf by the other gig, which proceeded to attract th© attention of th© 
CtelletYayh, the IIramble's tender. Meanwhile, her cum wander, Lteuteiiant tint 
wooing all was not right, anchored about a mile and a hair off, mid s©a£ bar gta 
and cutter, under Ihe command of Sir. Andrews, to aasUt- 
The party on shore having now collected us much of tilt h6sVx gear iiwu 
washed In, cmtecaled tbeiuflelveii umongrtt tile bush, 111 case their forlorn condi¬ 
tion should be discovered by tho natives; and Imre Lieutenant Yule Intended 
remaining until tho surf should doerto-w, thinking that ft would be fatal 
to any bear venturing tUraugu it. Tire Castlere^gh'jt boats having at length 
closed with the Brambles, the second gig WAS soon haled out, when all fSor 
boats pulled up abreast of tho party on shore (outside tho surf, which continued 
to Increase); tire Cttsttentagh at tho samo time weighed, wish only fo lu » imnds 
on board, and soon anchored again abreast of tire party. Hy thi* time ihe 
natives discovered Mr. Ytile's party, and came pouring round tho cliff *t Cap© 
Passes ion in tareng numbers; when Mr. Andrews immediately pT- pared to 
push his boat through thiaurf* Lieut, Yule waved him buck, knowing that his 
gallant attempt to relieve them would, foil i he, however, pushed titroauh

more were added to th© shore party, making in ad fifteen, nil helpless, and with¬

Lieutenant Yule now advanced, waving a branch of green leaver with com 
qUutory gestures, towards the savages, who were incmatinK their numbers, 
and were armed with * pears, clubs and stone axes. All retreat w as cm off, and

not approach naar enough to taka, This shyness, nnfor- 
innately, did rot continue leng; for when the main body 
came op, amounting to eighty or ninety men* armed, 
they grow troublesome, and laid their hands an every¬ 
thing they could get hold of that wm lying an 
the beach. To these robberies 1 endeavoured to 
pat a stop. and made them tome presents in¬ 
stead ; but the savages must have known our helpless 
condition, and became every moment more during and 
rapacious; and, to add to oar tribulation, we observed 
two large canoes, each containing thirty or forty men, 
coma round Possession Point, and heave to between the 
CoMitrtagh and the boats, as if with the intention of cut¬ 
ting off the latter. The CasUtreagh could not, nnfor- 
Innately, take advantage of her guns by firing grape nr 
canister, ns we were completely intermixed with the 
natives. At this critical stage of our anxiety, the second 
gig, at all hazards, was veered through the surf; and, 
to our great Joy, four or five men were drawn off in safety, 

“ A second attempt was made, and succeeded. Then 
came the awful moment for ns who awaited the last trip, 
■Inca only a few momenta before 1 balked a native 
when taking a deliberate aim at one of our last men who 
embarked. The natives now seeing onr numbers de¬ 
crease. laid hands on u* in the most violent manner. My 
quintan! was first wrested from my coxswain, who Ert 
a tone of grief made known the circumstance. I Im¬ 
mediately turned round and exclaimed , 4 Oh, don't part 
with that E 1 but It was too late j and when I endea¬ 
voured to recover It, I found a club wielded over my 
head, la making my escape from thin wretch, I was 
secured by four others, who first took my Government 
micrumometcr, which was slung round my neck. 1 
then endeavoured to struggle oat of their clutches, and 
escape with the pocket chronometer and note-book; but 
these, as well m every article of clothing I had about my 
body, were »tripped off* when tho second gig was oppor¬ 
tunely again backed in, and In this forlorn state Hr* 
Pollard, the two marines, and I, warded off, and wars 
dragged Into the boat. ' 

The most extraordinary part of this adventure la 
that they ware allowed to escape j for Lieut Yule 
says: " From the account I heard of the ferocity Of

year on this coast, I confess I fully expected death 
would bo my fate In a few minutes, and thought 
of the similar position poor Captain Bkoying was In 
When murdered at Cape Roso," It was Lieut. YOle's opi¬ 
nion that if the party had not lost their firearms, they 
might have made good their retreat without loss of any 
kind. Still, the hostility of the natives may hove been 
caused by their fear and honor at seeing white people, 
as it La very probable that the Fly and Brun&l* 
are the only vessels that have visited these parts of the 
coast 

ft la difficult to say to what race of people those o 
Guinea may pertain. Lieut. Yule’a account of them very 
much resembles the character of the islanders Of Torres 
Straits. Mr. Sweatman describee them tube of a very 
mixed nice, some light as Malays in colour, with high 
foreheads and thin lips; whilst ethers are perfectly black, 
with features more like tho negroes than even the Austra¬ 
lians, though far superior in stature and tralld to the 
latter; the former were often flir from Ill-lookl ng, and in 
general appeared to hold a superior rank to the blacks, 
as yam particularly noticed at Cape Possession, where all 
the chiefs were of this caste. 

They wear only waist-cloths, but a profusion of orna¬ 
ments, principally shells, probably procured from the 
islands to the southward* in exchange for emu 
fcathprs, so highly prised there, and so common among 
the New Guinea men, Their arms consist of bows .,na 
arrows, spears, clubs* stone axes, and daggers. 

Mr. Sweat man then adds;— 41 Treacherous they are not, 
for they al ways came out and met ns boldly, some times 
oven unarmed ; and when provided with weapons they 
willingly sold them. Ferocious they are not either, or 
they would not have spared our lives at Cape Pasnesskm* 
Ah to their civilisation, their huts, canoes* and culti¬ 
vated grounds prove how advanced they are already, 
and should Europeans ever effect a permanent com¬ 
munication with them, I have no doubt they would be¬ 
come as far so as any of the Eastern Islanders. Of their 
domestic matters we could learn little. They do not use 
tobacco, but many chow betel, carrying their time In an 
elegant Httio gourd, a circumstance which seems to show 
their connexion with Malays."

EVEKTON MILITARY CAMP, NEAR LIVERPOOL. 

(From our own Cwrwpmiteftt.) 

K Aiiguat % IMS, 

BliJNG at Liverpool— proceeding by your special instructions to depict 
and report the current events ot Ireland—your Artist and I have occu¬ 
pied a day and a night of our time in this town and the suburb of 
Everton, where has been established a Military Camp, Did nothing 
more pressing address itself by rumour from Ireland, we might fill 
much space, and probably excite some interest with the rumours which 
Come with the visitors to Liverpool But from the inhabitants— 




the authorities an one bond, the uneasy sympathizers with re¬ 
bellion on the other—or from the neutral population, little 
is to he aacertainpd that ib worth relating. The Camp, consisting, 
at present, of the 4fith Regiment of Infantry, and to be augmented this 
week by a battery of aruHery and the Slat Infantry, has its interest, 
as a scene to look upon \ yet, compared with the events occurring 
or reported from Ireland, it*is without incident So that it will be 
easily understood that, beyond the making of a few sketches by the 
Artist, and some inquiries bv me, there was nn necessity to linger here. 
We leave for Ireland to-night (Wednesday)- 


There am more reasons than one why an encampment is formed at 
Liverpool Troops are drawn hither, because it is the nearest port of 
embarkation to Ireland, at which vessels of transport may be instantly 
found, if an emergency arises- 

Liverpool hold* within it a dense population, many of them Irish- 
Where there ore moat Irish the population is most dense; ™iwe it is 
most dense it is within the easiest reach of the mightiest mischief—-tho 
firing of the warehouses and docks. It is said, and the magistrates here 
believe the saying, as do the principal commercial men of aU shades of 
politics, that [here is now no doubt that a conspiracy existed last week 


—the head conspirators giving directions from Ireland—to bum tho 
warehouses and docks of Liverpool, and by so doing appal the empire 
of Britain. This ia a second, and a conclusive reason, for accumulating 

A secondary cause of tho en¬ 
campment at Everton is, that 
there is not sufficient barrack room 
for even an ordinary regiment 
here. And it is said that no suffi¬ 
cient barracking has been provid¬ 
ed at Liverpool for a military 
force of magnitude, as at other 
large towns, because t ratio has 
usually employed the people so 
well, that they have not felt an 
inclination to indulge in destruc¬ 
tiveness, as at some other large 
towns. But, again, it is said, the 
fluctuations of trade would not be 
sufficient to account for the un¬ 
easy politics of Liverpool, were 
this not a port at which the un¬ 
employed inhabitants of Ireland accumulate. 

Dealing with those suppositions according to their worth or worth- 
1 easiness, aa they may appear to deserve, it is a fact to be recorded in the 
history of Liverpool, that on the high sandstone rocks, in a field of ten 
acres, where green posture covers the rocks, on the north side of Liver¬ 
pool, commanding the town, a military encampment is formed \ the 
graphic hand of your Artist has depicted it. The view, taken from the 
south (the observer's back to Liverpool), is perfect, if we suppose the 
time to be when a few bonds of recruits are at drill When all the 
forces arc on parade, the columns or lines are of grander proportions. 
When ail the men are seen in groups denning their accoutrements, 
their firelocks piled, belts spread to dry, some brushing shoes, some 
sewing on buttons, some darning their stockings* some squatted around 
a speaker, aome reading, others holding argument* all telling all 
what the news is from Ireland, the scene from the front is singularly 
picturesque. 

In the rear, by the side of a stonewall, the camp kettles are arranged, 
five or six to a company, each company averaging a hundred men; and 



force went through its movements elicited tho admiring approval of 
every person who understood the evolutions. 


IRELAND. 

THE ATTEJrfPTEP REBELLION. 

The accounts which readied town on this subject in the early port of the 
week were of the vaguest and most unsatisfactory kind. One thing* however, 
appeared to be pertectlv certain; vise, that the disloyal or rebellions senUmeut 
which tho Young Ireland Joumola^the ** Felon Pre&i ” as they very appro¬ 
priately design nted themselves—would lmva led the public to believe was gene¬ 
rally diffused thruiiKhout the masses of the population of Ireland, hn been 
Shown to have bean confined to a comparatively small section of the community, 
and* even amongst these, it had taken such slight hold, that tho very first ex¬ 
hortation of the Roman Catholic clergy to the violent Jy-dispofled to withdraw 
from the farther prosecution of Uielr erode and abaunl insurrectionary schemes, 
and resume their daily occupations of peace end order* wsjs attended with suc¬ 
cess; and that silly dupe of his own vanity—poor self-deluded Smith O’Brien— 
found himself deserted by his « forces ’■ on the very first ground he had chosen 
for malting a stand against the authorities. Tho wise and humane eserttoos of 
the Catholic priesthood In dissuading tlmlr Socks from embarking ip his mad 
enterprise with tho wouM-be patriot O’Brien were, no doubt, seconded consi¬ 
derably by the people's observance of the puerile conduct of the poor gentleman 
himself, who seems to have thought it sufficient to play at civil war, in order to 
accomplish whatever revolutionary projects he had hud In contemplation. 

The Fr&man's Journal of Monday gives the following from their cor¬ 
respondent fit Kilkenny:— 

Earlv on Saturday morning* Sub-Inspector Trant, of the Callao station, county 
Kilkenny, with between 40 and MJ men under his command, proceeded to tho 
neighbourhood of Bnllingarry, on tho border* of the county of Tipperary, and 
twelve miles from the city of Kilkenny, to assist in arresting Mr. Smith OTJrten, 
who was reported to be In the mountains of that locality* surrounded by a large 
body of armed peasantry. 

Some time afterwards* a mounted police-constable* named Carroll, was sent 
from Kilkenny, with a despatch for Sub-Inspector Trent; but on arriving at a 
part of the county betw een Balltngarry and a place called Commons* ho heard 
several shots fired, and was soon afterwards taken prisoner by some armed 
country people, several of whom were for shooting him* saying. ‘'If this man 
gets back he will hang us all/* The others* however, declared they won Id not 
take Canon'S life. The constable was in coloured clothes. He was taken lute* 
the presence of Mr, Smith G'Brion, who wore a cap with a peak and silver hand, 
and curried a stick in his hand. Mr. O’Brien, Addressing Carroll, formally wld 
“You sire one of the mounted police ? M The constable at once said he was, 
being aware that ho was known to persons In the neighbourhood. Mr. O’Brien 
then turned round mid asked the people whether ho should give himself up* hut

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS. 


[August 5,1848, 


they advised him not to take such a step* upon which he walked about for some 
time, ami then, mounting the constable’s horse, rode away, CattoIi vu de' 
Uincrl In the custody of four men. 

Do ring this time SiiO-lnspect it Trent and his men were shut up m a nouso to 
which they hud retreated, ^urreiinded by the country people, upon whom tbey 
fired from the windows. 

After u lapse of two nr throe hours* Carroll was left to the charge or one man, 
who a loured him to take his rteparfant. % 

On his road back Carroll onto tin far&l Mr. Smith Garten, who had changed 
hi* dress* and now wore a hat. Mr. O’Brien, who was on horseback, stopped the 
constable, but tire latter remonstrated with him, and told him it was foolish to 
think of holding mil against the force that would bo brought agnitiBt him. espe¬ 
cially A' the priests were exhottltig tlic people not to join In resisting the luifao- 
rltles. Mr O’Brien appeared to think deeply on what Carroll said, and Observed 
that for twenty years he had been endeavouring to serve his country* but that If 
the people did not stand by him ho might as well give up the attempt. He 
shortly after wank gave Carroll his stick, ant! rode nff. 

Oil the coriutKbWn return to Kilkenny, order* were given to the military to 
Elareh to Mr, Trent** nsriatanoe, and ut hall-past eight o’clock a formidable 
military force set out toward* Balllngarry. These were followed by a large body 
of police, and then came 300 Infantry, headed by the resident magl-drato* Joseph 
Green, Esq, The rear was brought up by another body of police, tnahlng In alt 
about 160 constables, and between 300 and 400 soldiers. A guard of the 83rd 
Regiment kept watch on the Thotttt, and a largo number of police were under 
arm* In the Assembly Rooms, it being generally expected that Smith O'Brien 
would be brought In a prisoner during the night. 

Shortly after the departure of the military and police* the nows of the safe re* 
treat of Mr. Trant and fits party was conveyed to Kilkenny, and the cavalry 
police were despatched to recall the soldiers who wore on their way out, end 
they returned at an early hour this mortiing. 

Mr. Trent and his party got safe otf; but several of the people were kilted and 
wounded. Mr, Dillon, one of the leaders from Dublin, fa thought to be amongst 
the latter* 

There were about 3oo armed man around Smith O’Brien at the time Carroll 
waa token. Severe] Catholic clergymen wore seen In rain exhorting the people 
to retire, whilst shot* were whizzing around them. 

The last accounts from Balltngarry state that the military wore concentrating 
on that point from all the surrounding districts. 

A correspondent of the Hunting ChrimFU r* writing from the scone of action on 
Sunday, gives the following graphic sketch* which* though containing some 
details that don’t exactly bolnng to “ the affair " on Bonfagh Common, pre¬ 
sents, nevertheless, such characteristic features, that wo do not hesitate to in¬ 
sert it at length; — 

^Instead of going to worship, I ordered a cur as If for Mount Juliet, and* 
without waiting for any companion* determined to proceed to the scene of ac¬ 
tion, the locality of which wo* described an near BaDIngwty, in the county of 
Tipperary- Being the hour .jfmoss. I met no one for six miles to give me Infor¬ 
mation ; for I thought tt useless to add res* two little girls ami a boy that 
were amusing Lhemselvei riding round a garden of wheat, ail three astride one 
ass, the two foremost riders tittering and blushing to be so surprised, 

« 3at At Tullvroiin, which lay below me on the rood* seeing the congregation 
ju*t out of tiie chapel, I went to the curate in the restry, where ha wm unrobing, 
to nsk whereabout the occne lay, asid if! was on the right road. Getting little 
information from him, I had a mind to address one of tho cartoade of sweet smil¬ 
ing oval faces (that peculiarity of the Kilkenny women so admired by the Ita- 
llaniO among whom I was now involved* each load returning to some neigh¬ 
bouring farm. But still pondering whom I should address, a stout old farmer* 
in lifadark blue great-coat* and short pipe in mouth, riding py, I 1 non [red my 
wav of hlro, and then told him wo heard in Kilkenny that Smith O’Brien had 
been badly wounded. 1 Not a bit of It,’ sold he ; f wa hear, air* lie fa gone 
into the county of Kilkenny; 1 and then, Hooping down nearer to tna, he add¬ 
ed* H Maybe you are Smith O’Brien yonrreif, sir?’ 1 was glad to find I was 
not an object u f suspicion or of dislike, 3 may add, that hud I been O’Brien* 
as the man thought possible, i should uot have lea ml to trend him with my 
name 1 

M Shortly nfterwardji the rood crowed a stream called the Munster river, where, 
leaving behind me the snug homesteads of the Kilkenny farmer* embosomed hi 
trees, we begun to mount a long Mil, the ascent of a hare swelling district. 
From the summit, looking south five or six tulle*, fay Slievenumon, rising out 
of the plain* and in toe further distance in a panoramic range, beginning by 
the west, was seen that well-known Irish table mountain called tire Devil’s 
Bit; the Gaiters lay blue In the south* and a little eastward* seeming imme¬ 
diately to buck Sllevcnamon, were the Waterford hills* colled tho Cummeras* 
but between is the valley ol the Sulr. At the foot of SLlevenatnon was Mutlmu- 
hone, dfatingufahuble by tho stare reefs guttering In the sun* the chief town of 
O’Brien's insurrection. 

I+ The swelling district on whose summit I now stood fa the colliery district, 
and Immediately below me, at tho toot of tho hill* distant about half a mile, a 
collection of scattered houses la the neighbourhood of two engine chimneys, is 
the village of Commons, where Smith O’Brien slept the night before the ten Ilf ct. 
About a mile and a half to the east Is toen tho chape) tower of Ballingarry* to 
Which there fa a straight level road lead lug from Commons. Without leaving its 
height* 1 amight out a collier's Cabin. The owner, a Vulcan, more than six feet 
high, left hia wife and children, saying, with ready courtesy, * If your Honour 
will send your car down to Sullivan's* at the Common^ to wait* Til take you a 
ready cut across the fields to Tim Cartolck’s, at Farreurory, where the war was 
between tho Peelers end the black-coated men; hud we chi meet the car after¬ 
wards below.’ 

" We hastened now to a dated farmhouse that I bad observed from (he car 
standing by itself on the summit at the hill—a remarkable object for miles 
around, 

“ Tho same aconu I have described fa beheld from It. It stands In on oblong 
enclosure, made by a low wall about four and a half feet high, which leaves 
room fnr a mimll patch of green In front, and a yard of somewhat larger extant 
iu the rear. It stands, ns it were* across the enclosure* leaving about six lEct 
free at each ride of the house. There fa a wlcicet gate in front, and in the yard 
behind there is exit by a common field gate, adjoining a low slated ham* which 
makes the end of the yard. On tho east side* outside the will, fa a cabbage 
garden, and at the south* behind the bam* lie three cocks of hay, 

“ The way in which this house became the scene of conflict fa as follows;— 

** On the night of Friday last. Smith O'Brien, who ou the Thursday before had 
been seen rate by Sttfl armed mest out of their county of Tipperary, towards Wa¬ 
terford county, returned unexpectedly to Commons, nccomponled by til me 
jaimtinu cars full of geBttefarau The neighbourhood turned out, armed, and 
seized the arms of "twnsireotauf palatine** as iny collier called a Protest¬ 
ant colony, descendants of Germans* tattled in the neighbourhood. That night 
was posted by O’ Brie a and Ids party reviewing and msiuhalling their force; and 
he slept in a cabin* round which thirty two men stood guard. Next morning, 
having notice by their spies* of the advance of the Cation police force* which 
farmed port of tour or five different tadlca which were m concentrate at Baltln- 
garry* he assembled and addressed his men on two great plateaux of culm* atitl 
about half-post twelve o'clock they saw the Cal fan police force, of thirty-seven 
men* under Inspector Trent* advancing from Ballhigarty to meet them. The 
police had advanced, a* far as a cross road that cornea down the hill past Mrs, 
SpCurmack’s house, when, suddenly, seeing the great number* that were under 
Smith O'Brien, [hey lurned up the cio*s road with a view of gaining a post of de¬ 
fence. Smith O’Brien fa body then broke, and rushed up the hill to anticipate 
their design, or, as my informant phrased U, to * cross-cut them. 1 But the police 
gut In ftrrt, running neck and neck. 

" The Widow McCormack, who some minutes before bad gone down from her 
house to the national school, alarmed, by reason of the music and the hurraing, 
tor tho safety of two of her children at school there* found herself mingled with 
the crowd rushing up. Sbe ran with them* for she had left five children hi the 
house* itnd reached [ho yard gate Jnst as tho police had secured the house doors. 
Outside the wall were hundreds shouting* while within In front and in rear were 
a few. 

** At the gate they stopped her, and cried 'Why did you fat them In ? ’ But 
she ruddied, and standing up on the parlour window-stooh begged In vain that 
her children might ho given out. 

« She then said to the police* 1 1 will send for the priest to make peace.’ And 
she offered to put a boy on Mr. Tram's grey horse that was loose within the en¬ 
closure in front. But tho Inspector advised her to send a hoy on foat. She then 
went to Smith O’Erlen, who was flitting under the wall in the cabbage garden, 
and naked him what it was he wanted 7 He said, 1 Tell the police It is their arms ► 
I want.’ She returned to him with a refusal* and putting her hand on hfa coat- 
col far* she said, 1 Go* sir, and speak to them y ourself i’ hut he refused unless 
she went with him. which rile did. and she saw him parley with them through 
toe parlour window arid shako h inds with them. She had previously seen some 
of the black-coated men carrying hay to the back-door*and hoard O’Brien hurry¬ 
ing LUem. 

“Just about this time some of the men outalde the wall flung stones at the 
windows* ft red a few shots* and she ran nut* hearing the police bid her clear 
nw&v, and, before s Hu was many steps, the volley was given from the house. 
She "ran to her father's* three Acids off, and* rot urn lug In a quarter of an hour* 
found tho firing over, the priest there, and the mob standing round out of reach of 
idiot. At the wicket one Jay dead, ut the adjacent comer under tho wall an¬ 
other badly wounded* whom the priori was preparing* and another fay badly 
wounded near the yard guto, 

“ a hundred ami twenty yards down u sloping field, west of'the house, wu a 
hulk of men, amongst wnom riutitli 0’Hrien was walking up aud down quickly. 
They lind a young man there, * a party young gentleman, 1 tin? blood pouring 
down lifa legs, hfa face pole and sweaty* and He said* M>ii, fads, lay me down — 
lay roc down anywhere.’ She advised them to take off hfa boots* which they 
were doin-when she left them. Shortly after aim saw Smith O’Brien ride off 
alone* the Kilkenny way. 

" It is believed that toa wounded man was O^Brieu Dillon* whom they call 
Dillon Browne.” 

Another Correspondent says:— 

11 There ore some details not directly connected with this narrative which will 
Interest the public, anti which 1 propose ro mention. I left Kilkonny cm tins 
route taken by Sir. Bloke, and* having passed Into Tipperary, am now In tho 
JnmiedUre otrighbonrhootf of Hulltoahunc, Ralltogary, and tho cdllerie*. It 
will hardly be thieved that there was nothing In the appearance of the district 
through which I parsed which indicated the lightest disturbance, ur apprehen¬ 
sion of It. The live stock of the farmers were grazing on the flelds aa usual j 
the peasantry 46611 hanging about their cabin doors; even tho currier* of 
culm coal for burning lime-stone piled their utisfy occupation as usual, Tfirro 
wu ns exdtenwat—uo fannying to and fro of armed bauds—no ringing of bells 


or lighting of bonfires. In fact, the whole country appeared profoundly tran¬ 
quil. Noble pasture lands and luxuriant crops met the eye wherever It turned; 
while on the summit of Sftevenamon rested a canopy of mint* as laxy-loohlng 
and imperturbable as the most ardent lover of peaceful scenery could de¬ 
sire. Such was the external appearance of that part of Tipperary through 
which I travelled, whan the tong-promised and much-feared rebellion of i«4S 
broke out there.”

« No outrages on properly—at least none of a very serious character—have 
been committed by the Insurgents. They hive several times taken temporary 
possesion of horses for tbolr own use. They have also made a descent on some 
of tho potato fields; hut these are all the dwrges I Ixavc hoard against them on 
that score, 

« The data of Kilkenny have dissolved.”

LONDON , SATURDAY, AUGUST b, 1818, 

The Rebellion in Ireland* of which at the end of last week there 
seemed to be an unhappy prospect before the country* has been 
tried* and failed. Never was failure more signal. The wicked, if 
not insane* men who for so many months have been goading, or 
have been goaded by their countrymen into the vortex of civil 
warfare* were allowed apparently to carry things in their own way. 
They arranged their meaBurca* perfected their organisation, chose 
their time* fixed their ground—in fact* did all that seemed good in 
their own eyes. Nevertheless, they have been miserably—not to 
aay ludicrously—foiled. A more comical, yet more humiliating, 
spectacle history does not oiler than tho Irtah Rebellion of 1845, 
under the guidance of Mr. Smith O’Brien of tho Pike (nine feet 
long), and Mr. Meagher of the Sword. The Government, which 
had from the very commencement been watchful and de¬ 
termined* was prepared to crush effectually any move- 
mcilt _ ovetl wef e it aa large as a general rising of the 
people. But there was no rising. The ficople, however well in¬ 
clined for disturbance, had no faith in their leaders. They cheered 
their speeches vociferously, for the fun of the thing apparently, but 
did not allow themselves to be cajoled into insurrection. The 
great and overpowering reason seems to have been their conviction 
that under such leaders, and with such a Government to cope with, 
rebellion would have been a failure* which would have entailed the 
most unhappy consequences upon all who participated in it. Wo 
have no wish to join with some of our daily contemporaries in the 
unseasonable mirth with which they narrate the circumstances. 
We can but rejoice that the Irish people, whether from prudence* 
priestly persuasion, or a knowledge of the utter insanity of the Re¬ 
peal cry, have held aloof from Messrs O'Brien and Meagher ; and

that, instead of a large rebellion* we have had but a small riot. 
This much, however, we think to be certain, namely, that the vigour 
of the Government is more to be praised for this result than the 
loyalty of the Irish people ; and that the overwhelming display of 
power which has been made has happily saved the country from 
the sad necessity of exerting it* 


Tub lull in French affairs that succeeded the terrible storm a of 
June has been hitherto unbroken. General Cavaignac has not 
abused his high powers, nor exhibited any of the personal ambition 
which might have been expected from a successful soldier, so sud¬ 
denly raised to so splendid a pre-eminence, There is a general 
confidence in him amongst men of all parties: amongst the Mo¬ 
narchists, because he is known to be tile friend of order, and both 
determined and able to maintain it; and amongst Republicans, be> 
cmse he is known to he an honest and sincere Republican, acting 
from the conviction that order is the only true basis of a Republican 
or any other form of Government* Though the state of siege has 
not yet been raised in Paris* there seems reason to believe that General 
Cavaignac and his Ministry will not now continue it for many days; 
and the Prefect of Paris has just published a statement which may 
be looked upon as preparatory to the re-establishment of the civil 
regime in that capital. In this document the Prefect shows that the 
Operatives of the provinces, who had been enticed in large numbers 
into Paris by the prospect of small or no work and large pay at the 
Atelkra Natianaux, have been gradually withdrawing from Paris 
since the defeat of tho Red Republican insurrection, and that 
scarcely any of them now remain,except those who are detained bv the 
Government in the prisons of the state, for their participation in that 
event * The number of these, which includes, of course, all the Parisian 
operatives who were made prisoners in those unhappy days, amounts 
to 9223. This is a fearful number; too large both to punish or to set 
at liberty; but not so enormously large as to be unmanageable, with 
due severity towards the most guilty, and leniency towards those who 
have least offended* On c o f th e most alarming an d embarrassing cir¬ 
cumstances that succeeded the Revolution of February was the emi- 
gratlon from Paris of the wealthy classes. Not only has this emi¬ 
gration ceased since the defeat of Red Republicanism, but great 
numbers of those who had quitted Paris have since returned to it. 
While the domestic affairs of the Republic thus manifest signs of 
improvement consequent upon the restoration of order and confi¬ 
dence, its foreign relations require all the prudence of its gover¬ 
nors to prevent mischief* The circumstances of Italy are gpave, 
and a demand, it is said, has been addressed to General Cavaiguuc 
by the King of Sardinia for direct intervention to aid in ;he expul¬ 
sion of the Austrians. It does not yet appear that this demand has 
been either acceded to or refused \ but either alternative will se¬ 
verely try the French Government.

SANATORY REFORM. 

On Tuesday night. In pursuance of a requUlttou addressed to the church- 
wardens and overseers of St. George the Martyr's, Southwark, a meeting was 
held at the Parochial School- House, Bo rough, road. On the motion of Mr, J. 
Lee Stevens, Mr. Robert Archer, one of the churchwardens, was verted into the 
chair. The requisition was signed by twenty-six persons, the great majority of 
Whom were connected with tho medical profession. 

The Chairman, in opening tho proceedings, said that tho matter they had to 
discuss was the complaint which was made of the opening of tire *ewere into the 
public road. The evil* which arose from the traps no one could doubt ; and lie 
h ul often asked himself whether tho comml&iienefs of wiwera could have had 
uny regard for the public health, In tfto system which they pursued. The cases 
of danger to the public health from the effluvium arising from tho sewers 
abounded so, that they needed no further evidence of the evil. 

Mr, Solly (chemist> said that the first time his attention had been called to 
those foul-air escapes was when passing over one of them, near tho Elephant and 
Castle, lately. Tho effect produced upon him was sickness, followed by a severe 
headache* which lasted for several days. When he found that the commissioners 
were about 10 put down one of the noxious goa-escapos near him, he became 
alarmed, and he found the result ww but too severe with one member of 
his faintly- He found there was a continuance of disease in hill family ns 
long as thoro w&sun east wind prevailing, because then the noxious eflliivimn 
Wan teruwn Into hfe dwelling; and when the wind shifted to tho west¬ 
ward. then his family got rather better. But the whole neighbour¬ 
hood was deluged with fever, and the medical men were worn off their 
legs The only question was, whether wo were to bo visited by tlie 
cholera at the end of this year, or the beginning of the next? It 
therefore behoved all men to put their shouldar to thy wheel to keep it away If 
possible* He bold In his hand a letter from Dr, Barlow, of Union-street* who 
expressed a strong opinion against tho present system of ventilating drains. 
That plan could not full to produce a quantity of noxious gases, which, when 
evolved, must have the most prejudicial effect on those who were exposed to 
them. Ho quoted several passages from the Lancet bearing on the subject, and 
eoiieludedbL moving tho first resolution, Which was to the following effect 
i+ That, fully concurring In the opinions expressed by Hr. Edwin Chadwick (now 
one ottbocommlsstoiiers ofsBwere for tho metropolis). In bis evidence before the 
select committee of the House of Commons on the Metropolitan Sewage Manure 
Company's Bill, vis. -That all smell from sewers, if It ho intense. Is attended with 
tan mediate acute disease; and that eventually, by depressing tho system, and 
rendering it anaceptlbk to the action of other oaoHja, *11 smell la diseasethis 
meeting views with olurtn tho plan adopted by tho metropolitan commissioncra 
of sowers for the ventilation of sewers, by which the noxious gases formed In the 
process of putrefaction In those receptacles of nlghtsoU and other animal and 
vegetable matter ore emitted in a concentrated form, and mix with the atmo¬ 
sphere in dangerous proximity both to residents and passengers. 11 

Several gentlemen having borne testimony, from the experience of members 
of their families, to the deadly effects of the noxton$ vapours and gases Buffered 
to escape from tbo sewere, the resolution wan agreed to. 

The Chairman called on 

Mr. Franklin Coxworthy, who at some length detailed bis plana, tho principal 
of which was \o erect high columns on each side of the streets, being carried up 
above the chimneys, and Inserting through each an iron rod as a lightning con¬ 
ductor, and tor the ptupime of aiding in the electric condensation of the gases. 
Another plan no* to raise & column* and ha did not see why, as they wore 
raised for man aments, they should not be erected for useful purposes, with 
shafts from the two sowers oh either Bide of the street, under ground, with tho 
same chain for the same purposes, fWe cannot attempt to give other minute, 
and scientific detail:, lino which Mr. Coxworthy entered; his pamphlet on the 
w Foliation of the AtmnjphfirG 1 * is well worth perusal.) 

The following resolutions were also agreed to 

" 2. That It is the opinion of this meeting that* unless the openings In tho 
sewers recently made by order of the metropolitan commissioners of sewera be 
Closed, and Home simple and efficient plan of ventilating the sewere be adopted, 
such, fur instance, as that which Mr. Franklin Cox worthy has explained to this 
meeting, tho most appalling consequences must inevitably follow in the general 
deterioration of the health of the Inhabitants and the Increased destruction of 
life.” 

** 3. That tho officers of this pariah be requested to forward copies of the re¬ 
solution* passed tills day to the metropolitan com mission ere of sewers* and re¬ 
spectfully to urge upon thorn the propriety of their causing the nuisance and 
danger complained uf to bo immediately remedied, either by the adoption of 
Mr. Franklin Coxworthy’ 1 # plan, or some other equally or more efficient mode; 
And that the officers of this parish be also requested to communicate tbue pre- 


ceedlngsto tho parochial officers of the metropolitan districts, In hope of their 
general co-operation. 1 ' - 

FtrOCTiost rou Seixbi:fi\—A Fom* DOiiXNDEp.—On Monday, a third common 
hull for the election of sheriffs for London and Hidd esex for tho ensuing year 
waa held at the Guildhall, the Right Hon. the Lori Mayor prodding. At the 
flint election, Messrs, Mills and Bousfteld wore selected Tor the shrievalty. Ono 
of these gentlemen, It was stated, had paid the fine of jElifiti in lieu of serving 
the office, and against the other a lawsuit Is pending, In consequence of his de¬ 
clining the posit. A second common hall wa* thou converted, to appoint two 
other gentlemen to the office, nod again tho livery selected rantes that had not 
Solicited tho honour, vbc. Ifesers. Chandler and Benson. These gentlemen were 
unable to Oct, and the Lord Mayor was again called upon to lasue a precept for 
another common hall. Mr. Deputy iteleon proposed Mr. Alderman T. Q. Vlnnte, 
and Mr, Deputy Lowe proposed Mr, Jacob Emanuel Goodhart. The common 
crier then read tho list to tho livery; about an equal number of hands were held 
Up when the names of Mr. Alderman Finn!* and Mr. T. E. Dicey were read, hut 
a large majority appeared on the name of Mr. Jacob Goodhart being read, those 
present evidently supposing that gentleman to bo the candidate Just proposed by 
Mr. Deputy Lowe* The town clerk, perceiving the mistake that had arisen, ex¬ 
plained Hint the candidate of tho name of Goodhart wna the son of the gentle* 
man whose name had just been called, and that his name would be called at t e 
close of the list? and that the gentleman for whom they had Just held up their 
hands was eighty years of age, and unable to perform the duties. Tho livery men, 
however* did not appear frilly to understand the explanation, for, on the name of 
the real candidate (Mr. J. Goodhart) being called, scarcely twenty hands were 
held up; and amidst much confusion and erica of "Wo don't understand about 
the Mr. Goodhart on the lint, 1 'the sheriffs decided that Mr. Alderman Finnla and 
Mr. Dicey had been elected. The announcement was received with cries of 
" No, no," anti a demand to "put It again.” Eventually a poll was demanded 
and granted on behalf of Mr. Alderman Flnnfe and Mr. J*E* Goodhart, The 
poll will remain open for seven day*, 

Irish a «m, i o&at i a s Society.—O n Wednesday a public meeting* to fort"* 
society untier the above title, was held at the Hanovor-square Rooms. Lord De 
Mauley presided, Mr. Rogers read a statement of the plans of the society, of 
which the following are the main points:—"The society is to be called tho Irfeh 
Amelioration Society (to be incorporated by Royal charter), to employ the pea¬ 
santry In the preparation of peat fuel anti charcoal; and, by removing the peat, 
to effect the full reclamation of the bog lands; the surplus profit* to be expended 
in improving the social condition of tho people* grounded on the report: made to 
the Belief Commissioners of Ireland, by Jasper W, Rogers* Esq.* C.E, The pro¬ 
spectus says: Die report made to the Relief Commissioners of Ireland upon tho 
preparation of the peat of that country, and its conversion Into charcoal, shows, 
from the experience of eminent practical authorities that it possesses most de¬ 
sirable qualities for agricultural* manufacturing, household, ami general pur¬ 
poses, After describing the uses to which peat charcoal can be applied. 
It proceeds: The peat-bogs of Ireland extend over 3,000,000 acres. It 
is the object of the society to prepare from these* by means of the over¬ 
plus labour of the country, an article which must command almost nn- 
Umited sate; white general employment will be given to the inhabi¬ 
tants, and the laud reclaimed for profitable cultivation. The drainage of the 
bogs is shown to be neither difficult nor expensive, by the reports of ‘The 
Commission era appointed to Inquire into the nature and extent of tho several 
bogs in Ireland, and the practicability of the draining anti cultivating them;” 
and the society have already agreed with the Marquis of Sligo and Lord 
Do Frey no for largo tracts of bog land, admirably situated in the counties of 
Mayo and Roscommon; and are In communication with landed proprietors in 
severed other coanties on the subject. It U intended that the plan of operation 
shall be upon the principle laid down In report to the relief commissioners— 
namely* by ■ task-work' and ■ money payment/ The society purposes es¬ 
tablish! n? r in desirable positions throughout the country, stations for the final 
drying and preparation of peat, and its conversion Into charcoal; having at 
each one confidential officer, to be aided by a sufficient number of labouring as¬ 
sistants, paving at once In money a given snm per measure for ail peat 
brought In 'tor sale by the peasantry on their piling it to the drying-houses, 
And with the view more fully to promote the objects of the society. 
It Is proposed to rent or purchase bog land* on which tho peasantry 
shall be employed, to be paid in like manner; the society providing 
every necessary facility, and a simple apparatus for cutting and pra- 
serving the peat, in any weather sufficiently diy for out-door labour. It la in¬ 
tended, as land is clear of peat, to divide It into holdings, of an extent suited to 
the district, with buildings of improved construction ; and to let some of these 
farms to those whose Industry hoe been moat conspicuous at each station, pro¬ 
vided they have saved sufficient capital for undertaking the culture; and In pro¬ 
cess of time it Is also Intended, under certain restrictions, to provide the deserv¬ 
ing labourer with a cottage and small garden* In all eases power will be reserved 
to take Immediate possession should a division nr hold to us be attempted. It la 
estimated that one million of money will be paid annually for labour in cutting 
peat alone, to the now but half-employed labouring elaxa, In addition to largo 
sums for carriage, &c.; and from two thousand to three thousand acres of the 
most valuable hind may be reclaimed yearly particularly fitted tor the culture 
of flax* which may be made to distribute At leant in equal annual amount. All 
expenditure for building reading and lecture-rooms, salaries to readers, lec¬ 
turers, &c.* and purchase of bonks, la to be defrayed cut of tho * Amelioration 
Fund ;* also, of machines and all other appliances for the preparation of flax; and 
the cost of seed supplied to those desirous to commence eullivatton Is to be repaid 
ou t of to e prod tree of tlie crop. Persons w EU bo employ ed at each peat station per¬ 
fectly competent to teach the whole operation of sowing and manufacturing* whoso 
business it shall be to instinct tho peasantry. Recording to fully proved prrweis&s 
which bavo been already carried into effect elsewhere; and when the Ameliora¬ 
tion Fund exceeds in unionnt tho necessary outlay for those purposes. 
It 3s Intended that the balance shall be appited to establish at each sta¬ 
tion a loan fund,?nnd an efficient dispensary* under the * Loan Fund’Act." 
Mr. Regent then made some additional explanation* of the plan. The reason 
that the peat. iteMs bad not been made use of was, that there had been no proper 
means brought forward for preparing It. The peat as at present prepared by 
the peustmts coni toned JO or 40 per cent, of aqueous matter* which rendered it 
comparatively unfit for tool. By the plan proposed to be adopted by the society 
(which ho described with same minuteness), this evil would be avoided. The 
raising of the peat would be conducted on proper principles, and it would he 
dried and presneti through tho medium of machinery prepared for the purpose. 
Resolutions stating that the 11 discontents! In Ireland Is greatly Attributable to 
miserable con flit ion of Rs people; and that the most effectual mode of removing 
it fs by providing them extensively with the means of remunerative labour*" 
and advocating the efficacy of the remedy proposed, were unanimously catxied* 
and the pm-eedinga terminated. 

ThE CwMimsi TOWN R a on cd Schools.—O b Monday evening a public meeting 
wa* held at the new ve^try-reuma* St. Faucnis-roatJ, on behalf of tho Camden- 
town Rugged Schools; Lord Ashley, M.P.* In the chair. The report set forth the 
necessity of establishing ragged school* In Camden-town, end stated that a ape, 
wo* selected In Littio Camden-street, and two schools were opened about three 
week* since, capable of holding tw o hundred children. The aura collected was 
j£l in 3#i-; the alteration and repilr* or the school amounted to J&IG0, and. a far¬

Dulwich ColLme, -On Monday a vestry meeting was hold in the vesfry- 
reom of the Church of St. Saviour's, Southwark, to receive a report from the 
wardens upon the subject of the memorial presented ta rhe visitor of Dulwich 

□liege, and the answer thereto of the College* and to determine upon the same. 
The enormous Increase and still Increasing value of the property of the above 
College, coupled with no increase in the numbers oHhe inmates, and the defect¬ 
ive system of education, led to proceedings being adopted in Chancery* but 
which subsequently dropped- They were, however* renewed about two years 
since, and ft report was now presented with the opinion of Mr. Rolt, Q.C-* who 
considered that If the parish proceeded with a rejoinder to the report put in by 
the master &nd wardens of the College* that a more comprehensive and Im¬ 
proved scheme would be propounded by ih& Lord Chancellor* both with respect 
to the numbers of poor brethren and sisters, and the numbers and system 
of education of the poor scholars. Mr. Tomkins said that tho " poor brethren ' 
were receiving* besides food, clothing, and lodging, about jEMG a year; and that 
seme ycara since the rental of the estates amounted to £7781, and since then 
a nnmbor of leases had fallen In. It was also slated that if tbit intentions of the 
testator were carried out* four 1 oya would cimaiantiy be kept at the University, 
which was not now the ease. Mr. Wright said he was educated at Dulwich, unit 
he could speak from experience that the system of education was masE lamen¬ 
table, The old scholar*, to incite the boy*, had* with the permission of the war 
dans, established prizes, but they could only bestow them for penmanship : they 
then pracoeded to memorial Le the Tito tor, but were told by tile master and war¬ 
dens that they could not be allowed to Interfere. The present Archbishop qf 
Canterbury had boon memorialised, and he had said that ho would take the ear¬ 
liest opportunity to Institute op inquiry. He could give an instance of a lad 
educated there, who, If he could hnve worked a sum In tire single rule of three, 
would have obtained a situation at Q oldan lfthje* Hall. Mr. Ellis said that the 
Master, Instead of receiving, as was anticipated by the founder, £80 or £100 a 
year, waa receiving £1200 ; the warden* in the same ratio. Tho report wjis 
then adopted, and the vestry proceeded to other business.

MEETING OF THE ARCHIi 


ICAL INSTITUTE AT LINCOLN 


TORKSEY CASTLE. 

{Concluded from page 60.) 

Wb resume our report by returning to the papers on Lin¬ 
coln, read on Wednesday, and briefly noticed last week. 

First is a lecture from Professor Cockerell, R.A„ on tho 
sculptures of the Cathedral, particularly those of the 
chancel and presbytery. The learned Professor explained 
most clearly the beauties of the sculptures, and showed the 
allegorical meaning of each group or figure; tracing an out¬ 
line of the series forming a description of the history of Our 
Saviour from his descent from David, to his resurrection and 
the Judgment; the advent and the chief points of Our Sa¬ 
viour's life being typically represented by angels bearing 
different emblems. The feeling and expression of most of 
these is exceedingly beautiful; and Mr. Cockerell claimed for 
Englishmen, by an ingenious argument, the merit of being 
the sculptors of these beautiful figures. The Marquis of 
Northampton, Mr. Penrose, the Dean of Westminster, and 
Sir Charles Anderson made some remarks on the paper, 
which was extremely interesting, and beautifully illustrated 
by sketches made, some by Mr. Stevens, and the rest by 
the Professor himself. 

This lecture was followed by a short paper by Mr. Charles 
Winston, which Mr. Peter Cunningham read in his absence, 
on the painted glass of Lincoln Cathedral. A very small 
portion of the glass now remaining is in the same place that 
it originally occupied. One window only is believed to be 
so. The principal portion of the glass la of the fourteenth 
century. 

The next paper waa by Mr. Penrose, on some peculiar 
connexions which have been found to exist in the propor¬ 
tions of different parts of thefMlnster to one another, both aa 
to the large masses and also as to the details. His remarks 
had chiefly reference to the elegance of the proportions of 
the nave, which is remarkable for its lightness. Some pe¬ 
culiar irregularities, which, at first sight, would appear to 
be mistakes, or to have arisen from carelessness, were 
shown to have been necessarily from design. The great 
attraction of this day was, however. Professor Willis’s lec- 


of vagaries; there is scarcely a part In which he has not done something odd, 
some points very beautiful, but a kind of affectation of peculiarity running 
through the whole. The work of those who followed Is of much more beauti¬ 
ful and simple design; and when, after the afternoon service, the Professor 
explained on the spot the different points on which he had been lecturing before, 
he pointed out the skill with which this peculiar work had been gradually con¬ 
verted by the Englishmen who followed him into a simple bnt beautiful specimen 
of early English work. Every portion of the Cathedral from which anything 
could be learnt, or any peculiarities pointed out, was visited by the Professor 
and his party, consisting of upwards of 200, and his explanations, so clear, 
so distinct, and instructive, were listened to with the deepest interest. After 
Professor Willis’ lecture in the Assembly-Rooms, the Archdeacon of Lincoln 
read a short paper on what are known as the " Burghcrsh Monuments*' In the 
Minster, which are proved, from the armorial bearings and other evidence, to 
have been in memory of certain celebrated men of that family. 

Professor Willis’s ramble cyer the Minster was not concluded till about six 
o’clock; the ordinaries, after that hour, at the principal hotels were well at¬ 
tended ; and an evening meeting was held at the County Assembly Rooms, about 
nine o’clock, when Mr. Kemble gave a most interesting lecture on Ranic In¬ 
scriptions. Ho showed that the whole of these were considered formerly to have 
been Pagan; some were afterwards found to be Christian, and then all were 
thought to be so; but it appears certain now that there are some of both kinds. 
He translated several of both kinds, and showed that the characters were really 
only alphabetical, not at all hieroglyphic*!, and that there were several dialects 
(if we may call them so) of these characters. He showed some very curious in¬ 
scriptions on a Cross at Ruth well, near Carlisle, which wore also found in a poem

. and situated at 

about ten miles north-west of Lincoln, reported to be the mother church of that 
city. It is certainly a magnificent edifice, and contains several features of pecu¬ 
liar interest to the visitors on the present occasion: amongst them were the 
tapering of the central tower, of the later decorated style; and the original 
Norman arches on which It Is built, which are of a horseshoe form, and have 
pointed arches introduced under them. The Early English style is visible In the 
font, which is fine, and in the windows of the church, which have been Inserted. 
The chancel la longer than usual, being three bays in length of two tiers of win¬ 
dows ; the lower ones aro enriched with shafts in the Jamba, and the chevron; 
and there is an arcade under the windows—(indeed, this chancel Is of a much 
richer speck* of the Norman style than tho rest of the church, although the 
south doorway of the nave is of a good character, very deeply recessed); the 
second Ilium ation of this page; and there is, also, a good north doorway. At Gains¬ 
borough. »*•© visitors received tho attentions and hospitality of Sir C. Anderson, 
at three o’c‘<v k; and the object of their investigation was that most beautifully 
picturesque old hall, apparently the chamber of the municipal body, in which 
Sir Charles, who Is eagerly endeavouring to secure its restoration, pointed out 
behind some woodwork the distemper paintings of decoration, which It appears 
probable, if not certain, were prepared for the reception of Henry VTH. and 
Queen Catherine Howard, whoso imprudence here was one of the principal 
causes of her sentcnco. On their return they visited the ruins of Torksey (the 
first of the accompanying Illustrations), ‘ 4 where, on the east side of the new town 
stood a Priory of Black Canons, built by King John to the honour of St. 
Leonard.”

ture on the Cathedral. Having now accompanied the In¬ 
stitute to all its meetings, and having already described 
Canterbury, Winchester, York, and Norwich, he said that 
this Cathedral of Lincoln was superior to them all. At first 
aight. It would only strike an observer as an early English 
Church (or of the 13th century), hut, on closer examina¬ 
tion, it would be found that, although of that period, far 
the greater part of it may be sub-divided Into five or six 
etylee, showing different architects or different workmen. 
Some few portions, but very few, are later than the 13th 
centnry. The learned Professor then proceeded to trace 
the history of the Church, so far as documents will help, or 
an examination of the building itself. Of the Saxon Church 
founded by Paulinos, no remains are found at all. Tire 
first Norman Bishop, Remlgins, evidently found nothing left 
which he could make us© or, and began his own Cathedral 
assoon as he was appointed to the see, which he removed 
from Dorchester, in Oxfordshire, to Lincoln. Of his Cathe¬ 
dral only the west entrance remains, and history tells us 
that he died in 1092, on the very day on which he had in¬ 
tended to have a magnificent dedication of the Church.

Reformation, was executed from a window of this Hall. 

Returning northward, on the opposite side of the street, were seen thereinains 
of John of Gaunt’s Palace, as it is called, of which Leland says :—“On the cast 
• oe of tho High-street is a fair guild hall, ’longing to St. Anne’t Church, of the 

r ndatlon of Burton and Sutton, merchants. A very gooo y house, longing to 
c utton, Is hard on the north side of St. Anne’s churchy* d: ” and this is pretty 
well established to have been the Mime as that supposed (• have been built by 
John of Gaunt on the west aide of the street, and now o > rpled as two dwelling- 
honses j bnt of which there are no remains of importance except the oriel, here 
also shown, as tho old honse was nearly demolished In 1783. The oriel is of 
early perpendicular character, resting on a sculptured rich corbel, with ogee 
heads to tho lights and a good cornice, with the ornament called tho Tudor 
flower: the pinnacles are destroyed. 

Not only strangers, but even inhabitants, are apt to suppose so much luxuriant 
sculpture os Is contained In this oriol a mere Interpolation from some other 
building; bnt for a hundred and fifty years it has been there; it appears from 
the inside to be genuinely a part of the construction : and at the back of the 
same house is a good Perpendicular domestic window, of four lights below and 
eight above, with two transoms, one embattled, the other enriched with the 
Tudor flower; but all much mutilated. 

No doubt whatever can exist of the origin of the Conduit in this city a ittle 
higher up the street, which Is attached to the wall of St. Mary’s Church, and 
contains a cistern supplied with water by pipes from a spring on the hill, and 
still, os of old, in constant use. It appears to have been erected at the time of 1 


thens taken and setat the south ende of the new castell of the conduct© of water 
in Wickerford.” This subject Is also amongst tho Illustrations on this page. 

Near the Conduit, still proceeding north, is the High Bridge, which still has 
houses on the west side upon It. The river, the WItham, here, is of no great 
Importance, as It la spanned by one semicircular arch, of Norman character, 
plain and massive, about 22 feet diameter. The ribs are chamfered, and placed 
parallel, except in the eastern bay, which appears to have been an addition, to 
carry the ancient chapel of St. Thomss the Martyr, let for a dweling-houae In 
1549. In it had been a chantry, founded bv the corporation, 32 Edward I. 
In this addition tho ribs are diagonal, bnt still of Norman character, though 
somewhat later than the other part. The place of tho chapel is now occupied 
by the obelisk placed thore in 1763, and seen in front In the annexed Illus¬ 
tration. 

The river, built round on all sides, presents some remarkable plctnresqne 
effects to the stranger, who visits either of the banks east and west of the bridge. 
Passing the remains of another Norman dwelling-house, and of the Church of 
St. Benedict, the progress of the visitor Is arrested by the crowd in the passages 
of the Stone Bow, the Temple Bar of Lincoln. 

This Is a good Gate-House of the time of Henry VTIT., and, as will be seen In 
the accompanying view, in a tolerably perfect state. It consists of a large 
pointed arch in the centre, guarded on each side by a round tower. On tho out¬ 
side of each tower is a lesser gateway or postern, n« pointed, but elliptic in

FRIDAY. 

The excursion on Friday rooming was to Newark, South- 
well. and Woollaton Hall. A special train started about 
nine o’clock, and about 160 of the members of the Insti¬ 
tute, Including many ladies, availed themselves of it. 
The first stopping place was Newark, where carriages were 
waiting, which conveyed a few only to Hawtou, a very 
beautiful Decorated church, two miles distant. The greater 
part of the visitors went first to Newark Church, which Is 

{ irincipally of the Perpendicular style, with some exceed¬ 
ingly beautiful details. Some of the windows of the south 
aisle are Decorated. The tower and west doorway are fine 
Early English work. The screen-work, stalls, and monu¬ 
ments In this Church are very Interesting; and one of the 
finest and largest sepulchral brasses In England is here. It 
is of Flemish workmanship, to the memory of Alan Flemyng, 
is a good specimen of the 


of the Edda, being a lament of tho Cross at having to take such a share in the 
Crucifixion of our Saviour. He read an inscription on a comb found at Lincoln, 
“ Thorfatha makes good combs;” a kind of advertisement of the very early pe¬ 
riod of the occupation of Lincoln by the Norsemen. 

THURSDAY. 

EXPEDITION TO STOW, GAINSBOROUGH, AND TORKSEY. 

A party left Lincoln in the morning In carriages provided for the occasion, 
and proceeded to visit tho cruciform church of mixed styles, chiefly Norman, with 


the day, or visited those objects of in-] | 
terest In tho city which had been pre¬ 
viously omitted. In going down tho 
: Hill from the Roman North, or Newport 
Gate, some visited tho Roman Conduit l. 
so far as it lias been opened, which is 
entered from a Gothic-pointed vaulted 
; chamber in the collars of tho eighth 
house, in the main road, north from 
the Castle Yard. This Conduit Is about

timber houses of the fourteenth century, now occupied 09 
the White Hart Inn. There Is near the present market¬ 
place a fine market-cross of the fourteenth century, con¬ 
sisting of a clustered shaft round an octagon plinth, having 
a figure in a small n e on one side of the base, and a 
cluster of niches as a canopy at the top. 

At the Castle, of which a view is engraved on this page, 
the various parties met before proceeding to the station, 
which is distant about two furlongs from It. The rains, 
which are considerable, consist of little more than the outer 
walls of an extensive range of fine Norman bnlldings, with 
tho Perpendicular style shown in insertions of windows. 
The gateway, with the billet in the drip-stone over the 
outer archway, and two good windows with shafts in the 
jambs, are of the time of the Norman fortifications. In ono 
of the towers of the postern la the remnant of a staircase by 
which ascent is gained to the top of the ruins. Under the 
place of the hall is & crypt or lower apartment of Norman 
work, with a row of central pillars supporting the vault: 
and from the entrance to this are, on the one hand, the 
way down to the river postern-gate; on the other, the stair* 
up to the general level of the ground-floor. At the south¬ 
west angle Is part of a tower, with some rooms perfect, 
with Norman barrel vaults and windows, and some closets 
in the thickness of the wall. The Castle is very well 
situated on the banks of the river Trent; and the windows 
in that front being mostly of the Perpendicular period, give 
it the appearance of a building of that date. 

Re-entering the train, the party (detained a short time 
by nn accident, which caused three carriages to be 
left behind, their occupants mounting the roofs of 
others already filled, were copreyed to Southwell, to 
visit the Collegiate Church, a large and magnificent 
edifice, mostly in good preservation, and represented In 
the centre of this page—It will be' seen a cross church, 
with a low centre tower, and a chapter-house on tho 
north side. The surrounding space, used as a ceme¬ 
tery, is large enough to give to every portion of tho 
building a good point of sight. The nave and transept 
are early Nonnan, of very bold character, with 


The room over the centre arch is used os the dvic Common Hall, for meetings 
of the Town Council. A room to the westward, communicating with it, was ap¬ 
propriated to tho Aldermen when sitting, os a distinct court from the Common 
Council; it contains the records, regalia, &c., of the corporate body. 

Tho centre of this page of Illustrations Is composed of a group of these re¬ 
galia, from tho originals exhibiting by the klnduess of Richard Mason, Esq., the

'well executed detail*; the piers are abort asd round; tho arches of the tri- 
fort nm targe, and now looking very empty, having lost the double arcade which 
ought to fill them ; and the clerentory windows are small, shewing circles on 
the outside* and arches with shafts within. 

The are atoms groined* and the nave has a fiat wooden celling. The 
arches of the centre tower arc very floe* being bold and simple* several of the 
Rinnan doora are very good; ami the north porch ia Urge, and considerably 
dbrtched. 

The airly English portion* consisting of the choir* IteuUtes, and sTimll eastern

Whole U in good preservation, and the peculiar etmchmenis of tbia sty la¬

The chapter-house Iras no contra pillar* and to a fine specimen of early deco* 
rated-work : the tracery of the windows, I he stalls under them, and foe en¬ 
trance-door (which to double, with tracery In the arch)* are all very good; mid 
there is lit them a peculiar flat style of carving the foliage and cnrlchmenta, 
not very common In thin country* 

The organ screen and some Interior stalls are of later decorated character* 
and peculiarly beaut)fhl s they have been restored la parts, but with proper 
care. , , , 

The choir is fitted tip with galleries, which take away the usual character of 
the aisles ; hut the whole of the Church deserves the ntndy due to a cathedral; 
and* although It la not so varied in its stylo m some edifices, It cUhns attention 
for purity and giwd preservation. 

The Rev. I. fit. Petit acted as cicerone on the occasion. 

The rains of fo& Afchieplseopal Palace are close to the Cathedral on the south

parts are in thp one style, amt the upper in that of Its successor; and some very 
remarkable closets In the walls, turrets, and buttresses* 

Two hours having been devoted to this delightful place* the train was again 
■filled, and conveyed its passengers to Nottingham, whore its disgorged contents 
not only filled alt the carriages which Lord Middleton hud provided, but every

were fortunate enough to have seats* or who could walk, went to Wol-

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT . 

HOUSE OF COMMONS.— Saturday. 

The House of Commons assembled on Saturday at twelve o'clock* and sat to 
seven o'clock. 

IRELAND* 

The adjourned debate on Mr. 9. Crawiord's resolution was resumed by 

Mri M, J. O ConsELi, who supported the motion, though he did not, expect 
much result from it at this period ot the session. 

Uufor [U-acxall defended foe Irish Church from the attack made on It by 
Mr, B. Gslwnie. Uc considered Mr. S. Crawford's resolution fhlrln spirit, but 
the time was very inopportune for affirming It, 

Mr. P* Scmove supported the resolution* and dwelt at great length on the 
necessity of reclaiming the waste lands of Ireland. He made one of hla usual 
a&HHidta tin the Irish landlords, and contended that If the land of Ireland was 
properly cultivated U would suffice for the maintenance of the whole popula¬ 
tion. 

Sir G, Guey uold tho want of agreement between Irish Members upon the 
measures requisite for Ireland was very diauatiraging. Since the Government 
came into office they had been incessantly occupied in devising and carrying 
measures for the relief of Ireland from the calamity that had befallen her; and 
therefore It was not true* mi asserted by Mr. B. Osborne, that they hud sut with 
folded arms. Much had been done for Ireland since the Union hi the w&y of 
political reiornus and much yet rum tuned to be done* but this was not the time. 
W ith raopect to the tikurch Establishment in Ireland, he considered It an ano¬ 
maly quite uujtisdflable, but meet difficult tu deal with. The recognition of the 
Hi,man Catholic Church In Ireland would have to be effected* mid the time and 
the Ministry would* at no distant day* come to bring about that measure, ‘The 
reiil social questions for Ireland were connected with ilia land, but much would 
have to be done by the parties ttieimdvcs, for tire power of legislation in such 
matter* was very limited. 

Colonel Dunne did not expect the House to consider all the remedial measures 
augg« 3 tcd - seveottiun in numtior—but ho expected the Government to declare 
the raw I ves on some Of the most Important- 

Mr ft. M. Fox read a letter from the county Longford, stating that the potato 
crops were In the mot* promising condition*and that the utmost quiet prevailed. 
The huu. member urged Ihe necessity of arterial drainage 

Mr. Clem Esra felt «s disappointed with tire speech of the Frime Minister on 
tho preceding evening, that, had tho House then gone to a division, ho would 
have voted lor Mr. S. Crawford's resohilion; but on further consideration* and 
seeing the necessity of giving every support to the Government In their exer¬ 
tions to put down insurrection, he woe compelled* however reluctantly, to give 
hi* vote to them on this occasion, , t _ 

Sir £* Nobaks supported the resolution* The settlement of the Church quea- 
tlen was, In hto opinion* the most pressing. He regretted that, through their 
pnMUiztimity, Minister would deprive their party of the credit of pacing the 
measures necessary for the tranquillity of Ireland, leaving the honour of doing 
so to their political opponents, .... * . 

Sir W. SoMEUvtbiE contended that the relation ship between landlord and 
tenant was not rite great crying evil that called for the Interference of Fariin- 
meni* hut tho rehtiioflthip between teunutaud labourer. The hardships itiffieted 
on the labouring closse* wore really of an intolerable character* and demanded 
the auperrlsloti of tins LogtaUture. The right hon* gentlemen* on tho part of tire 
Government, Intimated that they would assent to a committee next sesilan to 
Inquire into the ope ration of tire Irish Poor Law. H« hoped tho resolution be¬ 
fore the House would not be pressed to a division. 

41 r, F* 0'Connor. Ur* Newdegate, Mr, Reynolds, Mr. Augustus Stafford* Mr* 
Grace, and Mr. Graitau, addressed tho House, which then divided. For Ui\ S* 
Crawford's resolution* against it* 160* majority against the resolution, 76.— 
Adjourned.

In a conversation relative to the Copyhold Enfranchisement BUI and the Cha¬

SUGAR DUTIES, 

On a motion of the Chawc-ello* of the Excuanuu, the Hotufi resolved 
Itself hitit emutnkteo m the Sugar Duties. 


The CHAwcKLboa of the Exorastrui theti eubmltted a wries of rewliitlfiM, 
with the Intention of rectifying «meof the nuTnermto onors pointed out by Lord 
George Bentinck in the right hon* gentleman^ former sugar resolutions j the 
remainder of these* he believed, could be altered in committee on the Bill* which 
hud been brought in, founded ou the first resolution, Tire right Iren* gentlEpum 
announced that, with respect to refining in bond* It was not Ms intentien to per* 
slat in his proposal, at least for the present session. 

The first of the new resJilntlon* having been put* 

Hr. It a a u li complained that after all the advantages that hud boon held out 
to the West India colonies, by the Minis!eria] plan they were new to be deprived 
of the benefit of refining In bond. Such was the vacillation ef tho Government 
in co'omerelsl affair?, that the mercantile nommunlty could place no confidence 
whatever In their dcclurariuns or proutisos. 

Mr- Cardwell protested, in the name of tire Liverpool West India Associa¬ 
tion* and at thsfir doslref at the cifratirdinary vacillation of tire Govommeut on 
all questions rannccicd with the West Indies. The privilege of refining in bund 
would be a manifest advantage to the West India proprietors, but this, like other 
advantages promised to them by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, was to be 
taken from them. 

Mr. LABuiraiE&E did not think the charge of vaclllatJou could be fairly esta¬ 
blished against tiia Government, Tho proposal relative in refining in bond had 
not been aintmkmed until it was found that serious dlfftcditiea btood In the way 
Of carrying U out* 

After remarks from Sir W. Clay* Mr* Goulbam, Mr. WHaon, and Mr, II* 
Ball lie, the Unit resolution was agreed to. 

The second resolution wo* also agreed to. 

On the third resolution, having reference to sugar the growth and produce of 
any foreign country, and all sugars not othorwlJHj charged with duty* 

Lord George Brhtjkck moved, as an amandinent* the omtarioD In the head¬ 
ing of the schedule of tho words “on all sugars not otherwise charged with 
duty j" and proposed & new .scluednlo of duties on all foreign sugar or molasses 
not otherwise charged with duty, vto.:—Candy, brown, or white doable refined 
sugar* or sugar equal In quality tb double refined sugar* for ever,’ ewti, 
£1 10s. 9d* ? other refined sugar, or sugar rendered by my process equal in 
quallry thereto* for every cWt* £1 7«. 4d. ^ white clayed nugor* or sugar reu- 
derad by any process equal tn quality to white clayed, not being refined, or 
equal to refined* for every ewt,*£l 3s. lid.; brown muscovado, or clayed su¬ 
gar* not beingrefinud, the cwt.* jEI is*; molasses, thecwt., 7s* I0d., and so in 
proportion for any greater or less quantity than a cwt* Tho noble Lflrd de¬ 
nounced tho undecided conduct of the Government, and charged them with thtn 
rough ineapftCity for the management of the business of the House of Commons. 
Tho iklxmnair* manner of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, In coming down and 
announcing that one more of tho advantages premised to the West India interest 
was to be taken away from them, could not, he said* be sufficiently admired. 
The permission to refine in baud was one of the advantage* to the West Indies 
which he bad thanked the Government for* but now it appeared they were not 
to have even that benefit. The noble Lord severely handled tho Chancellor of 
the Exchequer for his quarter of a hundred blunders. 

After a discussion, in which Mr. Lnhouchcre. Mr. Wilson, Mr, Goulburu, Mr. 
Disraeli* Lord John Russell* Mr. Hurries, und other honourable members took 
part, the committee divided-For the Chancellor of tho Exeheqtrer'st resolution,

THE NATIONAL LAND COMPANY. 

On the Report of tho Committoa on Mr. F. (FConner's National Land 
Company befog brought up* , , 

Mr. O'CoNKOit said, in defending the scheme* which was impugned by the re¬ 
port of the com ml itce* that the company had been proved to be indebted to Into 
to the amount of JEfitavn, , 

Mr, lUrrita said that every facility had been given for examining the ac¬ 
counts, which were, however, very Irregularly kept. The anmulttefi were of 
optoLuti that the scheme was Impracticable* * * , 

Sir B, jULti said the accounts were ta such n state as to render It impossible 
to Invest tattle them wtbfactortiy. As the scheme could not be carried out* he 
wished to know what fhc hon. rnd learned member intended io do with respect 
to the regtatratiem of the company; and what with respect to Its property* 
which was veated in him ? 

Mr. F. O'Oozoloi' snld he could not say, as regarded registration, what course 
would be pursued until a meeting of the company should take place. As re- 
guided the property, lie wool! hand IE over at once to any one whom the House 
might appoint. . „ 

After some observations Item Mr. Mattes und Colonel Tuompsob* the report 
whs ordered to bo printed. _ _ __ 

Mr. s. Wo UTLEY then drew aftontloTi to the petition of Mr, w, R* S, Fita- 
gerald, complaining nf the Invalidity of the recognisance* entered Into In re¬ 
spect of the petition apinrt his return as a member of the House, and moved 
that the consideration of ati electfoii petitions be postponed until the (text ses¬ 
sion of Farliament* .. ,. _ « 

Mr, Milwes seconded the motJen, which waa opposed by the SOhioiToa-Ga- 
BERAt* aad, after a abort conversation, withdrawn. 

THE CHURCH TEMFORALCTIES* 

Mr. HoebmA!# then moved, that an humble address be presented to her Ma¬ 
jesty, praring that fclis will b6 pleased to take into her consideration the whole 
condition of the Ertabllshcd Church, us regards fta temporalities i that she will 
direct an inquiry to be made into the foil value of all Church property under 
lease* and came such mc&mres to be prepared a* may make the revenues of the 
Church more: fully conducive to the religious teaching of the people* The hen. 
gentleman, fo the coarse of bis argument*, confided himself altogether to the 
temporalities of the Chnreh, as it was with that branch of our ecclesiastical 
estahUnhmeut that Parliament could most easily deal. Kb believed the re¬ 
venues of the Church amounted to a sum not less than ^6,000,0011 per annum ; 
hut, although this sum was larger than 1bat of any ether Church in Ftirape, It 
was the opinion of m*<oy people, Devertliele&s, that !e wm not sttfRelom for the 
maintenance Of the clergy* Considering how largely the Church ™ endowed, 
be thought it was in a most Inelficient condition * He believed that in no other 
religion could there be found stich opposites of neol mid indifference* learning 
and ignorance, piety and Heathenism, as in the Protestant* This might be seen 
by the publications of benevolent societies, and by many other channels and 
sources. Tito evil had certainly been remedied in p-irt by previous legislation, 
mul the Church hud been retently raised into a degree of popularity and cfll- 
doncy hitherto tuiknown f hut that great change could not be carried out unless 
thuy lltemselve* took some measures to put the machinery by which tho system 
Was carried on Into better condition. The bun. fenftonuut entered Into a variety 
□l Statistics on the subject* and then proceeded to. observe that hi* former mu¬ 
ttons on the subject had received tho cordial assent of thu House, which seemed 
to feel that the view bo took of the subject was the just one. If, therefore, those 
motions were free from objection* bo felt confident his present one could be still 
le» objected to. There never was a period when thu Ecctaataflileal system ex¬ 
cited a warmer feeling throughout the country, or wheA-ihfr-Houso* of partis^ 
meat wore more united cm foe subject. Ho Hnped. there rote, the GomuWent 
wo aid content to this Inquiry, with the view of formfog a comprehensive system 
of legislation on tite subject. 

Sir K* Buetobt sccomlod the motion. 

Lord J* llirssbLL tmisl tliat thu projmiiltion Of the hon. gent toman wus certatuly 
ime well worthy of consideration* hut at tire same time It was encumbered wllh 
to many difficulties or* practical nature that they ought to be fully conoldfirwl 
Ijefore tire introduction of any mrauure on the subject. He thought themahi 
iiroporitton of Mr. Holman well founded—that It was to tho increased value of 
Church property tirey should look for il* Improvement of tho Inonntos of thes 
clergy and far the increase Of spiritual instruct ton* With mpect* however, to 
the immediate motion uftho bon. gentleman, he did not think It would beatf- 
vLable for the House to present an address to her Majesty requesting herMa. 
testy to direct an inquiry to be Wiuta foto the foil value of all the 
Church property under lease ; though he should be quite ready to 
adopt such inuasnras as would be likely to gtvo a proximate ratlmate 
of the foil value of such property. On a former oceaaltm certain 
Bishops und dignitaries had refused to give any return aa to the 
full value of the Church property belonging to tltem, und he did not think tho 
rrawn ought to be placed in the uubecoming position of receiving a reftu«d 
from the Btahopa and dlgui tarlea, having no puwer of enforcing the ue«wsary 
Inquiries. He hoped* thenrfere, the lion, gentlemaii would be satlifted with m 
assurance that he would consider the means by which un inquiry coffin be 
loadfi, oud that be was entirely of epiitietx that tiie property of the ChufGfc 


shcxUd bo made more available for the purposes of the Church than R woa at 
present. 

Sir R. Ibulib eafd tlte concession of the noble Lord might well satisfy * more 
ambitious mind than that or foe bon, member for Cockermmith. He admitted 
tiie spirit mol destitution of some portions of the metropolfs* but it was the duty 
uf Far! Is men i to remedy that evil without resorting to other than Icgitimato 
source* tor the means. 

Mr. M r . P. Wooo was convinced of the necessity for Inquiry, und trusted that 
no un necessary delay might be (suffered to Lnturreue* 

Mr. tiOTJLUURN admitted the difficulties of the subject, but did not think there 
would be miy hesitation on the part of the Bishops to make u return of their ro- 
venues. He vidh far from wishing to coufins tbo efforts of the House-to what 
had been already done* but would readily cencor In any measure which would 
lend to render the property of the Church more available for the instruction of 
tht: people in the doctrines of ihe Church. 

After some observations from Mr. Frewsw, , x 

Mr* Hoosuan withdrew his motion* exprrasing a hope that the subject would 
be considered during the recess, and that minister* would be prepared ou tho 
first night of the session to intimate the nature Of a measure open the subject.— 
Adjourned. 

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—Wednesday* 

The House sat from noon to half-past five o'clock, Jt 

Meosuses AuawnosED,—The orders of the day for proceeding with the fol¬ 
lowing btila were read und discharged, with the Intimation, as regards some of 
them of their renewal in the ensuing session:—On the motion of Mr. Gkaw-

tho Cruelty to Animals Prevention BUI; and also on tho motion of tho same boa* 
member, the Smoke Prevention Bill, Its provisions having been embodied In the 
measure for promoting the public health. , _ 

REUEDitB against the HuNPUEO Biu..—Sir W. CtAT moved theaeco-nd 
reading of the Remedies against the Hundred Bill, its object being to afford 
compensation to parties where property might be destroyed In consequence of 
outbreaks and riots, in £os«s not provided for by the existing lew. After some 
discussion the Bill wa* read a second time* and ordered to be committed that day 
week, but with an Intimation from Sir G. GUit, who opposed the measure In ite 
present state, that there was no chance of Its passing in tiie present session, 
Sale or Peek—T he Sain of Beer BUI having been read a third time, on tho 
question that it do pass, Mr. UtriiE moved foe omission of coffee and tea shops 
from foe operation of tho Bill, which amendment was carried by a majority of 
10, the muub&ra being 44 to 34, and the Bill passed. 

After some opposition the Windsor tWo ami Town Approaches Improvement

HOUSE OF LORDS*— Thursday* 

The Corn Markets (Ireland) Bill passed through committee. 

The Bankrupts ifolejise Bill, and foe Regent'* Quadrant Colonnade Bill* wera 
each read a second Lima and ordered to be committed* 

IRELAND* 

Lord R hough am* In moving for a copy of the proclamation Issued by tho Lord- 
Lieu ten unt, offering a reward for the apprehension of persons charged with 
treasonable practices in Ireland, took occaaton to dwell Upon tlm aspect of afffeira 
in that countiy* and foe wretched state of its peasantry * and to point out the 
ready remedy for til a ovltaof a crowded and pauper imputation, which our ex¬ 
tensive colonies* particularly Australia, presented* He therefore pressed 
upon tho Government the necessity and advantage of encouraging an 
extensive system of emigration. Reverting to the ftnbject or foe dta- 
turbanecH in Ireland, ho condemned the various precosulve Governments 
uf modern times for befog too forbearing In repressing tho commence¬ 
ments of rebellion, and particularly in neglecting to notice the practice of 
“ agitation, 11 and he treated that that error would not be committed again. 

The Duke of Wellington observed that armed clubs ejetated throughout Ire¬ 
land, and that, though It would take KJfoe time and trouble to put an and to 
such a state* yet that ho had no doubt tho Government would ba able offec- 
tually to accomplish that object. 

Tho subject then dropped* and their Lordships adjourned* 

HOUSE OF COMMONS. —Thursday* 

The House met at one o'clock p.w,* &od passed some time to discussing 
amendment* nn foe Fanners 1 Estate Society (Irelautl) BIO, and afterwarda 
adjourned till five o'clock* when the ordinary business was entered upon* 

K a Knit Was..—M r, Osborns wi&hcd to ask the rLht non. gentleman th& 
Secretary at War a question with reference to tire Kaffir war* He wished to 
know wile her at present there were any arratigouiciite being entered Into 
Which would Obviate the necessity of bis bringing forward hta mutton rotative to 
promoting the officers wise were engaged to that war.—Mr* fox Mau^e said 
he stated to toe hon gentleman, at foe rime he gave notice Of the motion, that 
he thought tho Cummander-in-Chtaf had foe services of tho officers engaged to 
the Kaffir war under hta const oration. He had since hod a comirmnlcdtiou with 
the Duka of Wellington, who assured him that for some time he h*i been pre¬ 
paring a list of officers to suhmti: to her >iojesty, if cr Govermuent bid approved 
of Lhe same for promotion, on account of their aervicea* 

SUGAR DUTIES. 

Tho House then went into committee on the Sugar Duties. Mr* Hemal hi foe 

CJ Lord George Bentinck then rose to propose an amendment. He observed 
that In the recond column of the scale of dutl&s the duty on double refined su¬ 
gar was IBs,, and on single r&flnod sugar, l&s.i that being a reduction of ia, 6d. 
Sn tire firat class of refiped aiigor. and la* 4d* on the second class* The fos* 
scale no longer stood amongst the duties at all* and the ISs. and 16s, were amal¬ 
gamated into one of 17b. M. That, however, was nothing to the purpose, be¬ 
cause if the duty of I7s. -Id. ms a fair amalgamation of the duties of 16s. and 
las., it was perfectly clear that the duty on clayed sugar should be placed in the 
same position in w hich it ought to have been placed* supposing the original duty 
of iG^ to have atocd-a* the duties stood, they were absurd* Hu begged, there¬ 
fore, to propose, as an amendment* that tire following duties be adopted in lieu 
of those in the schedule—Ua. 6d*. ISs. dd„ 12s, 3d., mid lls. W. 

The Cijanceljlob of tire Ex«iB«tiEE. maintained that the, rate of duties In the 
schedule wore adopted after mature consideration* and contended that they 
were those which ought to be ado |ited by the If otiso- 

After some further dlacitaSlon* tire fiOUM divided, when there appeared—For 
the ftTuemlurertt* against It, 9Di miJorHy ugainat Jt, 70, The R fflttn dmcot 
was uceerElliigly l03t* 

The House then went Into committee. After some dlscusdOU, fob several 
clauses wore agreed to, and the Bill was ordered to bo reported. 

The House was engaged during the remainder of tho evening to a tedious dls- 
cussloii on going into committee un the Corrupt Practices at Elections Bill, Ulti¬ 
mately the House went Into committee* and some clauses having been agreed to, 
tile House resumed, and shortly afterwards adjourned*

PARLOUR ESSAYS.—Wo. I. 


TTItANNUSS IN A FREE COUNTRY. 


Let not the reader be startled by the wordu at the heading of this 
Chapter, We are not about to enter into a political disquisition; ire 
arc not about to declaim in the style of the hustings, the platform, the 
House of Commons* or in any stylo or way whatsoever, upon political 
grievances. Wo are not about to express any satisfaction or dissatis¬ 
faction with Whig or Tory, Liberal or Conservative. On the contrary, 
we are about to confess at the outset—and eschew politics after the con¬ 
fession—that all tilings considered, and comparing ourselves with our 
neighbours on the continents of Europe and America, we are about as 
free a people as any that exist upon the earth* We arc theoretically 
free by the law—free to think, free to speak, free to write, almost free 
to trade \ and are, besides, in a tolerably feir way of removing most of 
the impedimenta to the more perfect practical freedom in these and other 
respects that has been imagined for humanity by the earnest and enthu¬ 
siastic spirits of this add of a former time. But with all this freedom 
—great or little as it may be—are wo free of ourselves? Do we not, in 
fact, create tyrannies for" one another? Do we not forge chains, and 
fasten them upon our own wrists and ancles, and walk about in the custody 
of tyrannical task-masters, whom we hug to our bosoms, aud love as 
affectionately as we love ourselves ? It is the opinion of the writer of 
this article that we do ; and ho will endeavour to point out the most 
prominent, oppressive, and fondly cherished of these various tyrannies 
to the consideration of all who would not only bo politically but 
morally free* 

Pi rat and foremost stands Prejudice, This is a tyranny that afflicts 
individuals as well aa communities—a tyranny for which, without being 
, aware of the extreme love and affection they bear it in their own case, 
most people have a very strong aversion when they tee it in others* In 
its national form, Prejudice is not a little detrimental to the progress of 
humanity* It rules with an iron rod* It impels nations into bitter dia- 
putea of words, and into the still more bitter and fearful disputes of the 
sword and the cannon, a We hate the French/’ said ibo free English¬ 
man of the days of Marlborough, u because they are all slaves, and wear 
wooden shoes”—never thinking that French slavery, if it existed, waa 
a cause for pity and assistance, not for hatred; and that, after all, 
wooden shoes might be ns comfortable to the wearer aa leather ones, 
and that, whether they were or nut, it was a matter of no consequence 
to any one. <‘We are the cream of the earth," said the Englishman of 
a later date ; “ whatever is not English is foreign—whatever ia foreign 
is bad.” The French, who were and are ambitious of vicing with us in 
everything, neither were nnr are behind us in prejudice* The result 
has been the mutual exasperation and damage of both parties* The 
Frenchman remains in the eye of English prejudice a lean, frog-eating, 
insincere, vain-glorious boaster, destined by Providence to be the na¬ 
tural enemy of an Englishman, and to be inglorious ly beaten whenever 
the question comes to the feat of fisticuffs. The Englishman, on the 
other hand, remains in the eye of French prejudice a hard, rich, pud¬ 
ding-headed, sombre, fat obstruction in the way of France; a boaster 
who pretends to have won the battle of Waterloo, when in fact it was 
won by the other aide; and one who is destined to be driven from the 
rank of a drat-rate power in Europe to the third-rate position that 
the size of hk country would seem naturally to designate lor him. 
The most remarkable form of this kind of prejudice is to 
be found among the Chinese and Japanese* Both of these flatter their 
darling tyranny to auch an extent, as to make it perfectly majestic in 
its absurdity. They have each a comfortable nest on the lower branch 
of a tree, and they make th is nest a world. They despise the branch 
that bears it—the tree cf which it is a part—and they absolutely deny 
the existence of the soil from wliick the tree draws ita subsistence. 
Their nest is the great word: the brunch, the free, the soil, the mighty 
universe; arc but inventions made by the arrogance and impertinence of 
people who are not 44 celestial” What a fearful tyranny this may be 
made I Nay, what a fearful tyranny it has shown Itself to be! How it 
rules free nations, western as well as eaetem* to this Lour I Were it 
roofed out—were men determined to be morally free, by disembarrassing 
themsKlvea of it, what a fruitful scarce of mischief would be removed 
from the world I We hated the French once* because of their shoes. 
The consequences of that hatred remain in the jealousy and mistrust 
felt towards each other by two nations whose cordial amity might 
change the destinies of humanity. We bated a large proportion of the 
human race, because their skills were of a different colour from our own; 
and we ace the result, if not among ourselves, among qur children and 
our neighbours. We have conquered this particular power of the 
tyranny; but we see, from its firm hold upon others whom we esteem, 
what a stringent tyranny it is, and how little reason any nation has to 
boast of its political freedom, when it allows so wretched a prejudice to 
overmaster it, in spile of true policy, of reason, and of religion. 

Into the question of Individual Prejudice we need not enter. Its 
forms are too multifarious, and yet too well known to need specification. 
The slave to prejudice is the moet deluded of slaves. He serves a fiend, 
and thinks he is a god. He harbours an enemy in his bosom, and 
thinks he is a friend. He takes a thief among his jewels, and con¬ 
siders him an honest man* He puts the children of his thought into 
the safe keeping of a murderer* He trusts his bread and his meal, his 
oil and his wine, to one whoso monomania is to poison for the sake of 
poisoning* If a man had a prejudice against tlie sun, and imagined 
that his ueams spread abroad coldness, darkness, disease, and death, in¬ 
stead of warmth, light, health, and life, what a miserable slave every¬ 
body would confassliim to be! Let the reader ask himself if he foster 
no prejudice as outrageous; and if he do, let him make himself free— 
an effort will do it—and acknowledge tha be has lived in the cold 
shadow when he might have Jived m the warm sunshine, and been a 
voluntary slave when he might have been a free man. 

The next great tyranny is that of Habit. What a super ^obstinate 
tyranny is this \ If we but once give it a footing upon our laud it takes 
entire possession of the estate* If we once put it on like a glove it 
enters through the pores of the hand, and affects the whole system* If 
we once breathe it, it will make our lungs its own. Sometimes harm¬ 
less, sometimes hurtful, it is always wrong-headed. If it listen to raison* 
it very doggedly refuses to obey* A curious instance of the unrelent¬ 
ing nature of the hold it takes, was very recently offered at Manchester. 
It is the habit or the custom in that town to dine at one or two 
o’clock in the afternoon* The habit interferes with business, and most 
people complain of it. Nothing would seem more easy than that those who 
complain should break through it, cast the tyrant off, and be free to 
dine when London or Liverpool dines, or at any other time 
they please. It seems easy, but it is not The tyranny has 
taken root, and is as firm as if Law compelled the dining in 
the middle of the day under the penalty of fine and imprison¬ 
ment Private meetings have been held—public meetings have been 
summoned to shake off the monster habit; but as yet, all attempts 
have been in vain, and Manchester dines against ita will at the hour the 
tyrant specifies. 

The tyrannies of snuff-taking, tobacco~amoldng, opium-eating, 
alcohol-imbibing, and various others, will immediately suggest 
themselves to the reader: they are all equally powerful The victim 
may know and confess that they waste bis substance, destroy his 
health, impair iiis mind, and embitter his existence; but what then? 
He will not put forth his strength and conquer the tyrant ns he might 
do. No \ he calls him foul names and hugs him to his bosom, 
designates him a pernicious tyrant, and yet helps the said tyrant to rivet 
his chains the faster* 

Another tyranny, os powerful though scarcely so malevolent, is 
Fashion. We befool ourselves at its command and outrage nature; 
although we know all the while that we are doing wrong. Wu know that 
it i$ at yrant’s command; yet we do not resist. We impair the symmetry 
of our manhood, we destroy the beauty of our womanhood, we distort and 
injure our feet, and our ribs, because this tyrant wills il; and though 
the warning voices of those who see and abominate the tyranny ore 
daily shouted in our ears, we give a faint assent to admonitions 
that are so common as to have become truisms, aud continue slaves* 

Into the tyranny of Sex we shall not enter* It is a veiy heartless 
and cruel tyranny; but as the national taut is responsible ter it to a 
greater extent than the individual mind, we shall say no more of it 
than that we hope law will soon become morn civilised in this respect, 
and acknowledge woman to be something better than man’s chattel. As 
for all the other tyrannies we have mentioned. 

Who would tie free, himself must strike the blow.

OLIVEft GOLDSMITH, 

The simplicity of his nature was shown In too many things not to be credited 
in this. It Is related of him that when he presented himself for ordination, at 
the time when he thought of the Church, he was rejected because ho appeared 
before the bishop In a pair of scarlet breeches. All this is reoouclleable with 
that want of foresight which led him W contemplate setting up to teach English 
in Holland, without knowing a word of Dutch ; and that story which is told of 
him by Dr, Farr, to whom he communicated a echentG ho had In view of going 
to dccypher the inscriptions on the Written Monntoins. though ho did not un¬ 
derstand a syllable of Arable, It was thla gullelesuiess, and thoughtlessness, 
and Innocence of character, which no deceits or injuria* could deform into selfish- 
□esa, or strain into practical sagacity In Ids dealings with the world—this extra¬ 
ordinary union of wisdom as an observer of mankind* Hud Incapacity to turn 
his wUdotn to ad vantage on his own account—that made the beauty of hU life, 
and kept it pare. And it is remarkable that, with feelings so impresfilcmabto 
and impulsive, trite (jaaymUiretl and most tend or of human beings appears never 
to have fallen in love, A passing amotion of that sort flit ted over him In Dub¬ 
lin, but left no permanent trace. But the truth was that his nature wag too dif¬ 
fusive, his affections too comprehensive, to be narrowed to a pu&sluh that flnaUy 
reverts to, and concentrates in self* And his life was unfavourable to its indul* 
genre, and opened few opportunity for its awakening in a heart so ahy, and 
weak la it* ^ IF reliance.— Bentley's Niscttta y. 

OREEH MEETING CEEEE. 

The proprietors of gambling-houses In London, in Paris, all over the world, 
are Greeks by universal acclamation* On0 evening a Wire-merchant, of high 
reputation In the City, entered the Atheuseum in St, JaniesVatreet (not the 
establfiihmem otherwise known as the A&slnwum in Pall-Marl), and called for 
a hundred pounds’ worth of counters. He received and tost them. He then 
demanded another hundred pounds' worth ; and when they had gone the same 
way a* their predccciMons, a third hundred was given to him. He lost this 
supply, and peremptorily insisted upon more, This waa refused ; whereupon 
ho Hssaried that he bad given a cheque for four hundred punnda, and that, con¬ 
sequently, there was still a hundred coming to him. The cheque was then 
shewn tu ldnt; he took ft In his hand, observed that ft was only for three hun¬ 
dred, tone R in pieces, walked out of the house, and «o closed that transaction.

THE Co USE or THE SOLDI EH. 

It would bo no such difficult matter to elevate the moral character of the sol¬ 
dier If we could keep him from yielding to the allurement* of drink. Bui there 
ia not much hope of this, so long as we cast him abroad upon the world to seek 
his pleasure out of barracks. There is nothing to keep him et home. In point 
of fact, there is no home to keep Him. Everything about him Is public, exposed, 
uncomfortable. He tuny lounge about on his cot, half-asleep and half-a wake ; 
or ho may stroll about the baimok-square; or smoko a cheap cigar in its vi¬ 
cinity. But domestic enjoyment is utterly denied to liim. Be he married or 
single* It Is all the same ; lie has no home in hurrachs- Hundreds are crowded 
together with as little regard to decency as to comfort; theie is nothing Eli the 
world to Induce the soldier to spend bla time off parade In quiet* ration at pur- 
suite; lie 1s not supposed to to*vo the ordinary wunto of humanity ; and yet, 
with everything against him, with everything to dciDomlfrc, with everything to 
drive him to the bottle, he Ik expected to be Infinitely more steady and sober thau 
men In every other condition of life- The least unsteadiness of gait; the least 
bewilderment ot manner * a flushing of the race, or * thickness of utterance— 
and the vigilance of the ncm-comuiisaioned officer sets it down aumco to the 
Influence of liquor. He Is put through his facings; and woe betide him if he 
bugglea at the H lof: about three quarters," It Is right enough that w& should 
endeavour to keep him from drinking, but there are better ways of doing it than 
by putting film through Ills facings* and then send log him to the guard. The 
“h&ngnian’s grip" will, after all, never “keep Hie wretch In order." Ittnay 
sink lvfiu lower and lower iu the abyss of destruction ; It will never lend him a 
saving hand. Neither extra guards* nor solitary cells, nor the cruel eat* will 
ever keep a man from drinking; the more he ft ptmfched, the more utterly he 
is strlpt ofhU Keif-respect, and the less cogent, therefore, all inducements to self- 
denial* Tfae sense of shame is seen deadened within him, and thou his descent 
is rapid and sure .—North British fteview, 

PYAX iUrERSTITIOX. 

One superstition which obtains widely among the Dyok races Is remarkable to 
the last degree. When, taking hla way through a forest or any oiher lonely 
, place, a Dyak bears the note of a certain black bird uttered from a particular 
I direction, he will Immediately stop, and become agitated by the most violent 
emotions. Nothing will induce him to proceed any farther on the same course* 

! A Dyak, one morning travelling with an EnglftlnuiLti, heard tho bird's voice on 
bis right hand. Without uttering a sound, he instantly stopped, trembled vio¬ 
lently, and. catching hold of his cum pan ion’s arm, endeavoured lo lead him from 
the spot. The European asked the reason of this proceeding, but could obtain 
no answer until* having been harried away by the trembling savage, he hod 
placed himself where the note of warning coaid no longer bo heard. It was 
then Chat the Dyak explained that It was a terrible thing to hour that bird, hut 
In what the terror consisted ho could not tell*— Lowe'* Edinburgh Magatine,

curious roof of *1 one, panel ted. Under the window-sat the end of the transepts, 
in tho Interior, are two monument of late, but the very finest design, and tbs 
best execution; the foliage very Interesting, and vtolng In elegance with the 
work of onr best cnihodrato: although not much known* they will doubtless noon

From a mistake its to lime—half-past five having been fixed os the moment of 
re mm—the train was obliged to leave the Nottingham station for its return to 
Lincoln without having received those noble and distinguished gentlemen and 
the officials of the Institute, who had been Invited to the hospitality of Wotlaton. 
They arrived *1 the station at six o'clock; ns tho train was in motion, and 
another cnglno being on Its way down the line, return was impossible. The 
party were conveyed to Lincoln, however, by the subsequent trains, so as to 
appear in the co-irao of the evening at ihG toirle given by the Major and Cor¬ 
porate m to the Institute, and which was excellently at ten tied. As usual In 
Lincoln, St became a ball from the commencement or the arrivals; and polka, 
waltz, and quadrille continued till nearly two hours after midnight—which, 
after the fatigues of twelve hours'Journey In the daytime* proves how much the 
visitors were delighted. The supper consisted entirely of fruit, as being more 
cooling and refreshing than, more solid viands, end finer fruit could not have 
been procured, 

SATURDAY. 

EXCURSION TO TURK STEAD* TATTERS ALL* AND BOSTON. 

At nine o'clock on Saturday toothing nearly the same party as that which 
gathered on the previous day left Lincoln, by favour uf the Great Not them 
Railway, in carriages lent by Lhe Midland Company, and were conveyed to the 
Ronton stearn-packet about seven miles from tlieir torm’tius. On hoard they 
found a hand borne &js&ntr A la fourchette, provided by the liberal tbanghlftilncu 
of Mr. Chaplin, of Blunfcney, and feasted right mer lly, with a alight Interrup¬ 
tion of walking m the Abbey at Kirk stead, founded tor the Cistercians* to the 
honour of t e Virgin. Mary, In 1133* by Hugh Brito, son of Eudr>, both Lords of 
TatterralL Of thin Norman edifice nati.Ing remains but & moat Interesting and 
most beautiful tall ruin, such as is represented cm this page* which is iwanmed 
to be the end of too *ontli tratwept of the Abbey. Theuco n walk to the Church, 
of I he next style, and across the fields* brought the party over a neck of land to 
a point whither the steamer bad preceded them round a considerable bend, 
A fhort time served Jor their transport to Tatter sail, and hero they flatted 
the fine brick Tower, with four octagon turret *, of perpendicular-work, with 
walls 13 feet thick, cm an oblong plan, built between 1433 and 1443* by Lord 
Cromwell, Treasurer to King Henry VI. 

The Church .also shown in the view in relation to Ur situation with tho Cnatle, 
la of late Perpendicular style, emdform, with a western square tower, and 
aisles to the nave, which extend to the west side of the tower. 

Boston, one of the largest churches and loftiest towers In the kingdom, woe 
next visited. The Church in principally Decorated, the tuwer Perpendicular— 
both excellent in thetr kind—and the chancel La partly of both. 

The interior Is on a very magnificent scute, the mouMingn of the arches and 
piers remarkably bold and good; but the Church la groined for its ceiling In 
plaster, In a work of not very good modem design. 


There are throe stalls in the south dale, and several monumental arches—on a 
rich, the others plainer. Some of the parapets and pinnacles are very beautiftil, 
particularly a sort of niche on the east end of the north aisle. 

The tower, which is one of the finest compositions of that atylq, \s a complete 
arrangement of panelling over walls and buttresses, except the belfry story, in 
which the window Is so largo is nearly to occupy the whole face of the tower. 
A very rich and elegant lantern rhea from the towel, and Is supported by By teg 
buttresses from the four pin nod es, and has also a rich pierced battlement and 
eight pinnacles ; this lantern Is panelled throughout, and each aide is pierced 
with a large two-light window, having double transoms* This composition gives 
to the upper part of the steeple a richness and lightness of appearance scarcely 
equalled in the kingdom.—(* the yoppotfte Engrvi'in/j). The party returned to 
Lincoln, which was reached about nine o'clock in the evening. 

SUNDAY. 

Service at the Cathedral in the morning, whan the Dean preached, was at¬ 
tended by nearly all the visitors brought by the meeting into the town, as well 
as by a larger number thou usual of Inhabitants, am on gat them Dr, Buckland, 
the Duke of St. Albans, Lord Monson, and Lord Brownlow. 

MONDAY. 

On Monday there was a meeting of the historical and other sections, at the 
Assembly-Rooms, when several short paper* wen? read. By Edward Hawkins, 
Esq., of the British Museum* an the Mint of Lincoln ; by J. Talbot, Esq., on the 
Chapel of Chester blade, in Somersetshire; by the Dean of Hereford, on some 
Crosses found near that city i by Lord Mronson, on Baronial Fends In Lincoln¬ 
shire; by J. G* Nichols, Esq*, on the Earle Of Lincoln; by E. J, Willson, Esq., 
on the death of Queen Eleanor and the erection of the Eleanor Crosses, and on 
the St, M-uy'a Couilult* In Lincoln* After some other can-venation, the Earl 
Brown tew took the chair* and the general meeting ff-u held, at which the report 
was read, and tho state of the Binds of the Society announced to be prosperous. 
The place of meeting for next year waa fixed to beat Salisbury, after rival claims 
hod been put iti for that honour from Oxford* Hereford, Durham* and Cldcliester* 
Several votes of thanks were then carried and responded to, and the meeting 
broke op* It ha a been generally acknowledged that the Lincoln meeting has 
been better attended, that the objects of interest have been more numerous, and 
tho contributions to the Museum mnch greater than on any of the four previous 
occasions, 

A kind of supplementary excursion* In which thirty « forty joined, took place 
on Tuesday, to Temple Bluer, a preccptory of the Knights Templars* about ten 
miles south of Lincoln. The only part remaining ia a tower of the thirteenth 
century, which hit* evidently been used as a chapel; hut the foundations of tha 
round church may be traced ; and the owner of the property* Charles Chaplin, 
Esq.* Of Bfonkney, had very kindly allowed excavations to be mode for the pur¬ 
pose of showing more distinctly tho direction of the walls. Some of the party 
afterwards visited several of the mere Interesting churches along the Cliff, be¬ 
tween Grantham and Lincoln* whfla others took Croylands* Peterburougli, and 
Stamford on their way home, - , . _

MIL MtetULLAGlTi M-P. FOB DUNDALK* 

The first speech, when tmr press of foreign matter made It Impossible for ua 
to find room for the Sketch, was on Friday the TUth ult*, on the Sugar question. 
He showed that distress amongst the planters was no new thing; that they 
had complained just a* loudly when they had the slave-trade, slavery* appren¬ 
tices h Ip, And the complete monopoly of the British market; that the competitor# 
who were now pressing most closely on the West Indies were not tho 
slaves of Cuba and Brazil, but the free labourers of India and Ceylon; 
that tho export of sugar machinery within the last two yean had increased to 
tho East, where diigar was the produce Of free labour, and had diminished to the 
slave-producing countries; that Burke, Fox* VVMberforce, Clarkson* and all the 
great tenders and advocates of the abolition of the slave-trade* liad dwelt Upon 
the greatei spirit, skill* effectiveness, and,therefore, cheapness, of free labour; 
and the published observations of The late Joseph J. Gurney during hla tour in 
the West Indies confirmed their views. Speaking of the rights of tho con mi mere, 
ho said— 11 It was cosy for those who Uvea f in ntftuentt to lookout through the plate- 
glass of their own luxurious condition upon the uHttfry day of laborious Ufa and 
marvel why the struggling multitude appeared so ill at ease. But it vat the. im 
perative duty of the Legislature to crtdeawtf r to keep steadily in rirta the wants and 
hardships gf the many. It vat the boast of commas that it rendered those things 
that onee were luxuries so cheap as to lead men to regard (hem as necessaries: but 
if leas the reproach of unjust or excessive taxation, that it turned what had be¬ 
come necessaries ntfp luxuries again.” 

This is tiie very point that It most behoves the people of this country to keep 
a strict watch upon* After laborious years of agitation and difficulty* they 
have won freedom for trade, but the progressive increase of taxation Is tending 
to make dear again what free Industry hoe cheapened. 

On Thursday woo* Mr. M'CuUogh moved an amendment on the Irish Encum¬ 
bered Estate* Bill Tho Bill limits the right or petitioning for a sale to tho owner 
of the estate, to the first incumbrancer* and the mortgagee In possession ol the 
title* deeds. These several parties* Mr, M'CulLugh pointed out* are not at all likely 
to seek the sale of the estate. Tho owner does not want to «U, because ho 
clings to the honour of being still an owner of the family name and the family 
lands. They prop him op In a portion that he ha* no wish to come down from. 
The first Incumbrancer does not want to aull. because lie, for the most 
part, holds a charge under a family settlement* or an old Judgment 
on a bond; and lias* in either case, about the best possible Invest¬ 
ment* und one which at any time ho can transfer or sell. The 
mortgagees with the deeds were mostly parties who had taken such core 
that their Investments were safe, and wim such sufficient margin of rent for 
Interest, that to wait for them to soil would be to writ for ever. Tho parties 
really Interested in having tho estate sold were those not then included In me 
Bill* though they wore Included on its first introduction last year—the leaser te- 
cumbroqcerfi, who* year after year, as they saw th a estate decay, hod It farced upon 
them that the chances were becoming less and lew cither of Interest or repayment. 
Mr. M'Cullagh proposed* therefore* that these minor locum hr sneers should also 
have the right of requiring a sale given them, which would moke the. Bill effect¬ 
ive, and really would bring food in Ireland into the market. The amendment 
was negatived by a forge majority* but there can be so doubt that without It tho 
Bill will be practically a dead letter. The encumbered estates will remain 
as they are; there will be no sales; and tha laud will bo left to 
keep a ruined landlord and half-starved tenantry, Instead of passing Into 
the hands of a advent owner, who could spur the tehfiiftry to improvement 
instead of grinding them down to beggary. By next year the uselessness of tho 
present Bill will* probably, have been learned* and Mr. M’CuIloffb may carry 
then what has ao absurdly been rejected now. At all events, this amendment, and 
the conciseness of the speech with which it was Introduced, give us hope that thti 
honourable member will bring forward In tile ensuing session what has so long 
been vainly looked for, some practical measures for the real benefit of Ireland. 
Mr. M'Cullagh again spoke upon the above bill on Tuesday night. 

Mr. M-CuJlagh was born in October, m$, took his degreo In Dublin Univer¬ 
sity In 1A33, and was called to tho bar to January, 1838. Two yeara afterward* 
he founded the still flourishing Dublin Mechanics* Institute. He to known as 
the author of a work on the Us* and Study of History, published In Dublin In 
1841, und of the "Industrial History of Free Nations," a work of laborious 
research, tracing especially tho growth of tho commercial spirit amongst the 
Greeks and Dutch, published In Louden In lt*46* At tho general election of 1847 
he stood an a candidate for Dundalk* and was defeated by a majority of this* t 
but, on petition* wna seated by a scrutiny of the votes.

agviEw of the great deal that haibeeu spoken, and the very little that has 
been done, during the present uarion, and the important measures that new, 
at the clow of it, are of necessity to be hurried over or thrown aside, may well 
give rise to the Ides that Parliament Is fast becoming sc crowded with talkers, 
that it will shortly be impossible, in the coarse of a session, even without holi¬ 
days, to get through any business- Speeches there must be, but it wonld be 
an Incalculable benefit if by any lueam members could bo got to speak only

JUBA AT VAPXHATiti. 

The only national dance that we really believe In, aa a fact, la that nf the 
Niggers- We mistrust the " Cachuchu “—that Is to say, whenever we base seen 
it performed by * real Spanish darueux, we have always pronounced It ter In¬ 
ferior to Duvemar'a In the " DEable Bolteux T * J We shou 11 never expect to see 
the Redowa" danced la. its own country as Gerito and St, Leon represent 
it at Her Majesty's Theatre; and wo have seme doubt as to whether Carintta 
Grlsl’s del (dona " TruEndaisc " was ever known In the Cour deg Miracles of old 
Paris. Hornpipes are entirely confined to nautical dramas and pantomimes* or 
the square bit of board or patch of carpet of the street dancer i and anything so 
physically painful, not to say almost impossible, as those peculiar pat of the 
Cli In esc that we chance to have witnessed In Europe, convince ns that at all 
events the execution must be exceedingly limited. 


THE CHUECII OF feT, BOTQLTlJ, AT BOSTON,—(SEE OfFOSlTR t>A&E.) 


THE « SEA uomssr 

A utmitfus of species of the Seal have been confounded under the name of 11 Sea 
Bear;” and there bore been several honoured with the name of “ Sea Lion,* 11 
One of the latter was brought to this country lout week, and exhibited at the 
Cwmorama^roainfl, Regent-street This specimen was captured to latitude 70° 
■oath, upon an iceberg near theCtozet Islands, whence St was taken to the Cap* 
of Good Hope, where It was exhibited several months, and thence it was brought 
to our metropolis* It differed from the common seal, in ita broad flat head, and 
blunt muzzle. In which respects it resembled the " Sea Lion p> of Forrtar (Atfp 
tnortnuj, BttlTon}* The skull Is of very peculiar form; but fha chief character Is 
presented by the teeth; of these there are only four conical cutting teeth to each 
jaw; these are tor apart, and much resemble too canine teeth. The molar 
teeth, or grinders, are small, with largo simple cylindrical roots; whereas, in 
the common Seal, the recta are divided- 


course. The turf, however. Is without any matter of public account till York, 
which does not fall till the 23rd. 

The regatta in Southampton Water can hardly claim the character of a national 
sailing. The scene is too confined to admit of any display of merino manoeuvre 
or marine motif id. It was a. most pleasant passage of aquatic revelry—a de¬ 
lightful amphibious holiday—but with scarce any higher maritime pretension. 
The rendezvous of the amateur sailor will presently be beyond the Solent, and 
then our log will toll of encounter* of pith and moment. To be sure, the spirit 
of yachting in name parts of the gentle and bright la not as courteous on 
might be desired; but the purest of blood has had its Ills since the days of 
Virgil, as wellaa heteto— +, tanti®neainffni( c&tesiibui ircef" And now it must 
be said In sorrow a cloud has come e’er the halcyon course of cricket* This, 
until the present moon, won the purest of all pure pastimes— the honour of the 
victoTy was the player's only lure. But base lucre cast an eye upon Ib-aad lo I 
there was advertised In the Journals a 11 Grand Cricket Sweep T Forthwith did 
Mr. Dank express his ** greatest possible objection, 1 ’* and passionate lovers of the 
game denounced the “ pernicious project." Thus bad begun, we corns to relate 
what remained behind. Upon toe heels of the cricket lottery trade the follow- 
tog announcement: “ Royal Victoria Purse Sweeps 11 ” 

This waa a little scheme of some five or six thousand pounds, to be decided by 
means of sailing matches between members of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club, 
in the neighbourhood of Ryde, In the course of the present month. At first 
night, this seemed another “pernicious project.'* Your yachtsmen carry things 
with a high hand, and there promised to be something puzzling to the propriety 
of the white and the red burgee, to erica of " Go It Godolphin I’* *• Cut away 
Cardigan 1" and the like. . * * But It is possible those who were alarmed 
were premature In their anxiety. Is not the whole affair a hoax? In the ad¬ 
vertisement, it is stated that 4 ‘ Remittances can be made In Post-office stamps/ 1 
* * . Can they ? Would it not require as much of the adhesive plaster—In 
the form It Is at present manufactured—to accomplish such a purpose, as would 
reach from the General Test-office to Splthcad * 

In toe notices of the Goodwood Meeting, In the last number of this paper, a 
change affecting Ita future features wn* anticipated. This haa already begun* 
In future. Lord Cllfden's stud will stand at Newmarket, I rained by the elder 
Stephenson. Goodwood races became the firat turf festival in the world when 


JUBA, AT VAUXHALL GARDENS, 

But the Nigger Dance in a reality. The iJ Virginity Breakdown f " or the 
“ Alabama ffick-up," the " Tennessee Double-shuffle, 1 h or the H Louisiana Toe- 
and-Heel," we know to exist* If they did not, how could Juba enter into their 
wonderful complications so naturally? How could ho tie bis legs Into such 
knots, and fling them about an recklessly, or make hia feet twinkle until you 
lose alght of them altogether to his energy. The great Bos immortalised him: 
and-ho deserved too glory- Urns conferred. If our renders doubt this, lot them 
go the very next Monday or other evening that arrives, and see him at Vamhall 
Gardens. 

Bat Juba is a musician, aa well as a dancer* To him the intricate manage¬ 
ment of the nigger tambourine is confined, and from It he produces marvellous 
harmonics. We almost question whether, upon a great emergency, he could not 
play a fugue upon It. 

Certainly the present company of Ethiopians, at the Gardens, are the best wo 
have seen. They have with them Tell, the original * Bones " of Mr. Mitchells 
theatre i and he is better than ever, No one, in the w ildest flight nf fashion 


HEAD OF TUB « SEA LIONESS* 1 ’ 

Captain Triscott, of the Methetfr, who brought this specimen to England, do- 
senbea It as good-tempered, arid dtophiylng considerable futellt/cnce m ihe re¬ 
cognition of persons. At the Cnsmorumu Rooms it wna kept In a lank of sea¬ 
water, beneath which it occasionally dived j but more frequently it rested its 
head upon the edge of tho tank, with the whole body nearly nut of water. Tha 
poor creature was, evidently, ter from vigorous i and, after being exhibited 
three or four days. It died, on Monday last. It was fed upon flail, and the blood 
of animals, which it appeared to be very fond of. 

The surface of the body wna coveted with smooth black hair, of a brownish 
tint. One of the Illustrations shows the general conformation of the animal: its 
fore-paws resemble human hands, but have longer noils, not claws. In the 
other Engraving is shown the head, with long whiskers, and large, round, bright

THE THEATRES, 

HER MAJESTY’S. 

Bellini’S ,J Puritan]” was revived Oh Saturday night, to Introduce tfdllo. Jenny 
Lind In a new part, that of fihira, Of all the compositions of Vincent Bellini, 
not one* always excepting the , 'SflHR#ni!itii6, > ' has enjoyed a greater poptilntity 
that! the *'Ftlrltani.” HU "Adedwu t? SaMoft,* written in 1*24* wns followed, two 
years afterwards, by 11 Blanca e Gernando.” played at the San Carlo* at Naples; 
and tho latter work secured him his engagement at La Seal*, in M tan. In 1827, 
where he produced Ms '* Pirata" for Rubinl, The following year he produced Ids 
' Stmnk-rV for Madame Mark Lalandc and Tamburinl; and then, his name 
having heronre renowned in Italy, lie wrote the ‘’Gapuletti o Monteccbi 1 ' for 
Venice; and then came his masterpiece, the " Sonnambula,” composed ^spreaaly 
for Pasta, Elated wUh his success, and resolved not to be set down as 
following in the wake of Rossini, Donbretil* Mereadante, PaocfoL f™** “■» 
the young liclhnl gave to the world hb " Nortno,” In which Mali brim 
electrified the amateurs In Italy. It Is not generally known that Bellini visited 
London in 183$ (be died OP the 23d of September in that year) to witness MalJ- 
bran’s representation of doduc in hla *' Sonnamtmla;’* and. singularly fineugh* 
just one year afterwards, on the very Kamo day, Mali bran died si Manchester-" 
both being precisely the same age* 28. It was in 1834 that Bellini comjiosed 
hU PuntanL ” for the Italian Opens in P^s* for the four greatest 
ever assembled together in Ode week, namely* Griri, TambuiiEti, Rubin I, and 
Labi ache. 

The next year (18M> “ Purltani’ 1 was represented In London, by the same 
dlstingushed talents, under Laporte'a management; and from that mnaA up to 
the year of grace ISdS* this beautiful production bus been one of the most 
attractive operas of the lyric drama. Bellini took especial pains In his orphan 
1 ration, which* in point of elegance, charm, and variety, surpassed any former 
specimens of his Instrumental skill; but the potent spoil exercised over 
the faculties in Lb la open* is created by the gushing melodies aalulfng 
tho oar every moment. True, there Is little or no attempt to distiiipush 
character by the music allotted to each part“the stern and jealous Ricettrdo, the 
affectionate and noble Qiartfo, the Impassioned and chivalrous lever Arturo, and 
the tender usd excited BMra, warbled forth their varied emotions In one con* 
tinned stream of melody ; and there La no particular characteristic in tbs 
ideas to Identify one part from the other, but the imagination and heart are so 
ronsed and touched, by the uninterrupted flow of enchanting themes, that there 
la no time to analyse the forms of the composer. 

Hearing the **PuritAni f hS and looking at the score afterwards, suggest veiy 
different notions to the critical examiner Hackneyed, os this opera haa been, 
for thirteen years, it was listened to on Saturday night with evidently unmiti¬ 
gated reelings of delight, The Elvira of Mtille. Lind Is a very Interesting de¬ 
lineation. it Is un artistic conception, carried out with that conscientious 
care and unflagging zeal choree terming ail her performances. The polacea, 

« Soh vergen vexzwsa,” was brilliantly sung and encored ; and. In the opening 
duo with Uhlache, the in tonsil y of delight at the lover’s approach was grace¬ 
fully expressed, 

Tho most exquisite bit of vocalisatJon displayed by Hdlle, Lind, to our minds, 
was In the finale ofthe But act, where, in an under tone, Eldra pours forth hot 
accents of desolation at Arturo’t supposed flight wilh a rival. The mad scene, 
*‘QnJ la voce/' In the eecoud act, is very similar th the dramatic sitnatimi to that 
in the Luda t and therefore afforded little scope for variety. The last scene, the 
fainting and restoration to reason an learning that Art urn had only fulfilled his 
duty in saving tho proscribed Queen* was Tcry ably depicted. Millie. Lind was 
much applauded for bur exertion*, and received a fervent ovation at the end of 
the opera. 

To state thut Coletli vu J Iktardo, and Litiriache Gi&r$i&, suffices to enable the 
counnl&ietira to know how effectIrely thesecharacters ware sustained. Lnblaclic, 
as usual, in tho old Puritan, was a perfect study In the making Op, and Ids md In 
the concerted pieces was of the greatest Importance. Tho trumpet duo was, of 
courac, demanded a second time. Gordoni waa the Arturo, but tho music is not 
In Ids register, and had to be transposed, by which Its brilliancy was affected, 
especially In the -Ate, o care." He sang sweetly ut times, but was very de¬ 
ficient in power, The beautiful prayer of tho Puritans, with Its quntuor, was 
omUtod; thix 3s a pity, a* It in one of the gem* of Lhe opera. _ _ „ 

On Tuesday night, end on Thursday, for tlm extra night, the « Puritanl* was 

^shbJicriptlon season doses tins evening (Saturday), but tho theatre will 
remain open for extra representation*. 

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. j r 

Ke 3 r orbeer T s "Huguenot*" will bo no doubt the culminating point Of Attrac¬ 
tion to the remainder of the season. Nothing elfac is talked of in tire musical 
clrrios, and the perfection of Lhe awmNe la recognised an all bands. 

The emotions enkmdled during tho third act by tho conjuratfon and bene* 
diction of the “ dspgere,” and then by the magnificent noting and singing of 
Vlurdot and Mario, are quite overwhelming. Do Saiurfiuy night, a triple 
encore was demanded for Urn « Conjuration” The **Kuiaplan" chorus* the 
«* plf-paf” martial song Of Marini, and the cavatina of Alton I in the second 
streAfl, are encored nightly. Tho work wijj repeated on Thursday eight for tho 
benefit of the gifted Ylardot, irnd will be given again to-night (Saturday) and 

Dnnlxettl’j « Lucrexta. Borgia " wo* performed, Grisl, Al- 
boni, Tatnburlni, and Mnrio were lu splendid voice. Tha “Cliorun of Jlnsques," 
in the Prologue, was encored, and Alfoini'x drinking song demanded three times. 
The trio In tire second act was also encored, and was superbly executed by Grisi, 
Mario, tti.dTjMuburint, ... ... «« - 

At Hie eleventh hour on Thursday* owrng to the sudden Indisposition of 
Signor Mario, Hiera was the advent of Roger In the arduous part of Itfou[ r He 
had never played the character "before, but ho had studied it for tho bronch 
OnUKt Opera. He It lTi French, of course, fta ho had only three hours' no¬ 
tice* and no rohcansol. His mccess was immenie. Nothing could bo more 
expressive than his singing of the opening air* " Tins blanche quo 1 bermIne," 
widi the attif o«i goto of Hill. He electrified the house In the Septuor 
of Lhe Duel, and was rapturously encored. The dao with Vlardot, In 
the third act. was wonderfully *ong, and vm cheered &um flm to 
but. Viordot sang the duo In French, and thus the entembte was perfect. 
The reception of thto nrtut« waa most cordial, and she bad the honour of a recat 
before the curtofu with ftqger. omnist a shower of bouquets. The beauty of the 
organ of the French teaor* his fine atyla of declamation and power or expression, 
Bitrbaased ever? expectation. Marini and Albmil had their HsuaUnm, and 
the “ Coujurstkiu" was given twice in *U its might und majesty. The house 
W'as crowded to ejec-'s. 

On Thnndaynext RosstiiFi “Guillanmo Tall" will ba mounted with gre«L 
splendour. Huger will appear in ArnoUi, MadjnneCostollsu In MotNJd*; and Mn- 
rini, Tamburliil, Folonlul, Mel, Lavla* TogUafien, are In the cost. It win 
be worth a pilgrimage to bear the overture and choruses. 

There is at present complete stagnation in the theatrical worM. The greater 
part of lhe houses ere choed ; and the career of those now open will soon come

ment of the theatre, and the attention to elegant detail and tree artistic effect

and, after some slight fluctimtlons, prices bloaed the same. But* although on 
Wednesday the price quoted during the «Uy was 871 to J. the market towards 
tho close of bushier displayed eome weakness, and after the customary hours 
prices receded to S 1. This hearinesslmarkcd the opening on Thursday* arising 
from the showery fltute of the weather creating unearinesa with regard to the 
harvest, joined to a confirmation of the preceding day’s news of tire defeat Of the 
Piedmontese, and consequent probability of French intervention. A# tho day 
progressed, increased flutne&i prevailed, prices recoding to Bdj | for Money and 
Time, The approaching Mttlement has had, and will have* nome effect on 
qnutations, until after its adjustment. At Its commonccmOnl, ihd JMts 
had it all their own way, until tho Irish disturbances; since wlilch 
the Bear party’ have been enabled* In many Instances, to buy 
In their accounts; and, us Money Stock is for from scarce, may* tow'Jtrdu the 
close of the account, have more atnek to deliver than the Bolls can take. Apart 
from these circumstances, the unsettled state of Jtaltan affairs, necessarily ro 
fleeting itself In French pomira* coupled with Ufo probability or a harvest not 
exceeding an average* wilt tend to depress prieem notwithstanding tho iibun- 
dance Of imetn ployed capital Exchequer Bills have ihabttained their value during

ITALIANS, GERMANS, AND SCLAVONLANS. 

The three great conflicts for national existence that sprang out of 
the French Revolution of February, 1848, are still raging with all 
their pristine intensity. Italy, Germany, and Sclavonic are cadi 
engaged in the effort to make itself one and independent. Each is 
involved in difficulties, dangers, and perplexities, in pursuance of 
its object The sympathies of Constitutional Europe are more or 
less intensely excited in favour of them oil;, and the whole of 
Europe, whether constitutional or despotic, is deeply interested in 
the immediate settlement of the various questions to which the 
struggle of these three races has given birth. 

The Italian question, in consequence of the appeal to the sword 
to which the Lombardian population, aided by the Xing of Sar¬ 
dinia, resorted at the very outset, is the one of most immediate 
and striking significance. While it is the day-dream of imagina¬ 
tive and thoiightfal minds that that celebrated and lovely country 
should be freed from the bonds that have so long oppressed her, it 
s equally the practical and abiding interest of all Europe that the 
dream should be realised, and that— 

Italy, unloosening her bond*, 

By her atron g will should be at last the home 
Of broadly based and virtuous liberty. 

Much was expected from the Italians themselves in pursuance of 
the great object for which her wisest and bravest eons have strag¬ 


gled and suffered for two generations. When the present Pope, 
before the outbreak of the French Revolution, gave the cause an 
impetus by the declaration of enlightened nnd patriotic opinion 
which signalised the commencement of his reign, even the most in¬ 
different spectators of the progress of events in Europe conceived 
hopes of the speedy regeneration of Italy. These hopes have not 
yet been realised. The Italians, long oppressed and misgoverned, 
have not proved equal to the task of emancipating themselves from 
foreign thraldom, Tbo generous, although ambitions, attempt of 
the King of Sardinia to wage the battle of Italian nationality against 
Austrian domination has, for the present, failed and the mischief is, 
tfmt it is chiefly owing to the want of due support from the Italians 
themselves that this failure has occurred, and that Austria recover¬ 
ing from her foregone defeats, is once again installed in the capital 
of Lombardy, 

The Italians have thrown, away a great chance, and the vision 
of the nationality of Italy has receded far away into the dim and 
uncertain future. The utmost that can at present be expected from 
the joint mediation of Great Britain and France is that Austria 
shall retire from Milan, on receipt of an indemnity for her losses in 
the war, andon condition that Lombardy shall constitute herself into 
an independent state, with a large burden of debt upon her back, 
derived from her long connexion with Austria. It was evident, 
before these events, that the nationality of Italy could not be 


wrought out except by the Italians themselves* The fact is still 
more evident now, Any re-construction of the Lombardian king¬ 
dom, In consequence of the recent successes of the Austrian arms, 
will but add a new impediment to those already existing* Under 
all circumstances, therefore, the unity of Italy will depend, even 
more greatly than it did before, on the efforts which the Italians 
themselves shall make in their various States and Principalitiea to 
conquer those internal difficulties which arise from their own m- 
pineness or jealousy of each other* The ease is not hopeless, but it 
is difficult and embarrassing, and will, it h to be feared* long con¬ 
tinue to disturb Europe* 

The nationality of Germany is equally desirable, hut equally dif¬ 
ficult to establish* It Is as desirable for Western Europe as it ia 
for the sake of the Germans themselves ; but even more than the 
Italian imbroglio the case is hard of solution, from difficulties that 
are almost all of internal origin, growth, and complexity* Austria, 
that but a few weeks ago seemed a prey to anarchy j—and her Im¬ 
perial House, that was on the point of yielding up her German pos¬ 
sessions and leaving Austria to her fate to take refuge in Hungaiy, 
have both recovered a portion of their lost prestige* and stand in 
the arena, prepared for the assertion of claims that are of the high¬ 
est magnitude* Prussia—divided between those who wish Prussia 
to absorb Germany, and those who would be contented that Prussia 
should be absorbed into the larger Empire—struggles with internal

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, 


[August 19, 1848. 


difficulties of the most formidable kind; and all the lessor States of 
the ill-assorted Confederation are torn with the conflicting claims and 
desire® of Kings and people. One part of German y struggles against 
another: Monarch* and potentates put forward their personal claims 
to supremacy, without reference to the interests of the people they 
gOTOraj and Monarchical and Republican principles, independently , 
altogether* of the great idea of German unity, surge and re-surge 
over the length and breadth of that large portion of the European 
continent which speaks the Teutonic language. It is utterly impos¬ 
sible for us in England to form a correct opinion of what is taking 
place in German)' ; and even the Germans themselves seem bewil¬ 
dered by the difficulties to be encountered and subdued before the 
heterogeneous Germanic Confcderation can he fused into one great 
and coherent Empire. The Prince of Lciningen—son of the 
Pueheas of Kent hv her first marriage* and who at present occupies 
the post of Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs under the Arch¬ 
duke John of Austria, the Rekh&veruwer, or present bead of the 
Confederation—has issued a document, which very clearly ami 
boldly puts the whole ease before the people of Germany and 
Europe. The Prince affirms that* by the election of a National 
Assembly, with the concurrence of all the states of the Confede¬ 
ration* the unity of Germany was virtually recognised, and that 
the appointment of the Archduke John as Regent was an 
additional and necessary recognition df the same fact. Not 
only/' says the Prince* " was a German empire decreed in place of 
the hitherto existing confederation of states* hut I he German na- 
tion was placed in a position to testify by loots whether it really 
desired true freedom, and whether it would really Imre an united 
and powerful Germany. As there is only one kind of real liberty 
which rests on law and order, so there is," lie adds, “hut one sort ol 
unity—an actual union of all the component parts of a whole, and 
that* too, in such a manner as to avert the possibility of any dis¬ 
pute or contest between the whole and the parts. If the German 
nation, therefore, will have unity, it must not only will the means, 
but aliO adopt the consequences* There can be no more opposition 
of Bavarian* Prussian* Saxon* or any other interests to those of 
Germany. The former must be absorbed in the latter. Jealousy 
between individual states, revilings of the northern by the southern 
parts of the empire, or wee versa, are* therefore, as he contends* 
mischievous absurdities.’ 1 Nor will he allow that dynastic interests, 
so far as they refer to the imperial power, should he taken into 
consideration* for the Princes are as much called upon to conform 
to the will of the whole people as any other German. 

The Prince contends, with force* point* and incontrovertible 
logic, that if the task begun i$ to he brought to a safe and perma¬ 
nent conclusion* the Imperial Power, that is to say the Imperial 
Government and the National Assembly—supported by the 
national will—must devote itself with courage and derision to the 
fulfilment of this great mission. The Imperial Power must, so 
far u$ it may be necessary, absorb in itself the sovereignty of the 
individual states ; it must unremittingly undertake the requisite 
organisation of Germany ; and must, whilst establishing the organ- 
&m of the Imperial Government, reduce that of the individual 
states. He also insists, with equal reason, that the Imperial Power 
must abolish, as speedily as possible* the diplomatic intercourse of 
the individual stares at home and abroad* and concentrate it in its 
own hands j that it must appropriate to itself the unconditional 
disposal of the national forces* take such measures respecting them 
as it may deem advisable, and advance the customs lines to the 
frontiers of Germany. 

The Prince calls upon the German people to decide once for 
all whether this is the unity it requires ; or whether it is content 
that the old seeds of discord and jealousy should remain in the 
soil* and that Germany should present to the world the spectacle of 
a disunited people desirous of unity, but without the courage 
and the ability to take the only possible means of acquiring and 
maintaining it. Coming from such a quarter, the document is of 
cor side mbit importance at the present juncture of affaire in Ger¬ 
many; but whether it will have weight enough to influence* one 
way or another* the decision of this great and complicated question, 
remains to be seen. There is one element of success in the straggle. 
There is no foreign domination in Germany* to coerce the people 
or to embarrass their conduct in any way. It is purely a domestic 
matter* which all the powers of Europe regard with solicitude and 
anxiety* but in which none has the right* or perhaps the inclina¬ 
tion to interfere. 

The question of Sdavoniatt independence hangs upon that of 
Germany, Russia* that cannot interfere with the Germans, or 
prevent the various states from forming one vast empire if they 
are so inclined* foments* as a matter of precaution* the desire of 
the Sclavoriian races to imitate the example* and to form an empire 
of corresponding magnitude and importance* under the influence 
of Russian ideas* Betwixt the two races there is thought in Ger¬ 
many to bo an inherent antagonism. Many German writers 
labour hard at the present moment to exaggerate whatever differ¬ 
ences of feeling or prejudice may exist, and to hold before the 
eyes of the people of Germany the vision of a great Sckvonkn 
empire* or M Pajisclavonia, 3 ' with interests hostile to those of the 
Germans, as an incentive to the latter to forget their own differ¬ 
ences* and unite against the hostile race. The wave of Revolution 
in Europe is not* os some represent it, merely a wave of 
Democracy dashing against the barriers of Monarchy. More than 
mere forms of government are Involved in the convulsions that 
have taken place. Republicanism or Monarchy are not the ques¬ 
tions to ho decided in Italy, Germany, or among the SclavoniflJis. 
The matters to be derided are preliminary to these: they refer not 
simply to the right of self-government* but to the right to exist. 
This right was denied or ignored at the pretended settlement of the 
affairs of Europe in 1810 ; and consequently, and in due time, it 
has endeavoured to make itself heard. When the new settlement 
shall take place* there is a prospect that it will he somewhat more 
worthy of the name than the lost was.

shine* but the clouds kept themselvek closed—It dtd'ut rain— no nmall praise for 
a day in August* 1848. Long before noon the pier qt Ryde was populous with a 
pleasure company* for It was the first day of the regatta at that port—the week's 
festival being thus arranged : Tuesday ftnd Wednesday, the Royal Victoria Yacht 
Club's prizes at Hyde; Thursday* the opening of the Squadron matches 
at Cowes ; and Friday again at Ryde. Despite the "pitiless pelting' 1

FOREIGN AND COLONIAL NEWS . 

FRANCE. 

The probability* amounting almost to certainty, that the Government of tbo 
Republic will fond fuie do Us utmost. In conjunction with the Government of 
Great Rrltain, to prevent the disastrous state of affairs in northern Italy leading 
to a general European war, which there lias been of late but too much reason 
to appreh&nd* has diffused general satisfaction amongst the moderate ami rea¬ 
sonable of all clastea in Paris—not the leys as It shews * rail entente eordiqta 
between the Governments of the two great cimatiiutionu] countries of 
Europe. On this subject we find that when General Cavaignac ami M. 
Dustlde attended the Committee on Foreign Affaire on Friday (last 
week), some questions were put to them, Thoy were first requested 
to say wliat was the ond and object of the mediation of France and 
England between Austria and King Charles Albert. General Cavalgnac re¬ 
plied that, for the Interest of France and Italy, ft was Important that this nego¬ 
tiation should remain secret; and* consequently* declined entering into any 
explanation on the subject. It w*& asked whether lliu mediation wu* in con¬ 
formity with the already expressed wtehta of the National Assembly for the 
oijlVanqhhemeui of Italy ? lie answered that the will of tho Assembly should 
always be tho rule of Mu conduct, but repeated hia resolution not lo give any 
other answer^ assuring the committee* at the same time, that he w ould never 
act otherwise thau In the interesto of Franco, and Consistently with tier honour 
and dignity* Finally, ho was questioned whether* in case the mediation should 
fad in piodttoing the desired reaulto, It was hhs Lntentkm to make war? The 
General declared that ho had a fair hope of maintaining peace Ur concert with 
England, and that ho would not make war nntil lhe Last extremity. This de¬ 
claration was favourably received by I he committee* The communication of 
tho tlocui non in relating to the affairs of Italy from May 12 till July 14, that la to 
say, prior to the last cheek received by Charles Alberi, being called for by some 
member*, General Cuvaignuc felt himself bound to refuse producing them* 

The Monileur contains a declaration ol the policy of the Government on the 
question of Italy; in the course of which it is etaied—“ In presence of snch 
grave events, in presence of the general Interest which tho cause or Italy In¬ 
spires in France, before entering on a path which may end Lo peace or war* 
perhaps In a European war, the Government Is bound to rake account of what 
I* demanded by the traditional necessities of our policy* and the present situa¬ 
tion of the Republic, It comprehends that, at a time w.ten the development 
and the safety of commercial relations are become tho condition of tlte prospe¬ 
rity and the iuthiencu of nationfl. ft is important not to lose sight of mannpic¬ 
turing Interest*. Penetrated with the necessity of re-establishing public credit* 
which begins to acquire fresh strength i persuaded, at the same time* that 
Frince* on no consideration, can ever compromise the laws of honour* the Go¬ 
vernment endeavours to reconcile what It owes to tho dfonity of the French 
name to the legitimate demands of private interests. In a word, to accept war, 
if our honour demands iti to accept it* not In the name of a Sovereign too often 
Kidded by pro-occupation a lo reign to the wiahes and to the wants of the 
country, but in the namomf the country Jfoelf; In the name of ths 
National Assembly* the &ofo arbiter Of peace or war; or to avoid it, if that 
bo possible* without weakening any of our duties, and without descend¬ 
ing from the rank which Franco ought to hold among European nations i such 
was the line of conduct which the Government at Aral traced out for ItMlf— 
Buch was the only policy which appeared to ft worthy of the Republic* That 
policy the Government has faithfully und unreservedly followed. It must find 
Itself sufficiently rewarded for Its efforts, since it may now make the whole of 
France partake in lhe hupee for the prompt re-cstablfahment or pence m Italy* 
through tho mediation of France and England, The united action of Hie two 
powers bus already begun to exercise its effect on several points of the Penin¬ 
sula* And, il any tloubte could be felt us to tho results which may nrfoe from tho 
understanding of the two most Influential nations of Europe* united in one 
and the same idea, and for an interest which is also that of the whole wurld* wo 
would udd that fresh motives for confidence find security will be found hi ths 
relations established between France and the other foreign power*. These re¬ 
lation? nre most amicable, and do not except from, them even those Govern- 
men to which the name of Republic might tend to render unfavourable to 
Franco, We have* therefore* every reason to hope that this mediation of Franco 
and England in Italy will be followed by a prompt ond favourable mult* and 
that it will servo as the prelude tea general pacification. The Jrtruggle which 
la being carried on in the duchies, for interests of a comparatively secondary 
character* must bo put a stop to* The German Parliament wishes* we doubt 
not, that ita first act should be One of conciliation; and It will unite iteelf to our 
efforts to bring about an arrangement already too lung delayed. It will not for* 
get that the efficacy of ito action depends on its wisdom. Thus tho Republic* 
a I though scarcely constituted* will have resumed* in Germany* In Italy* and in 
lhe whole of Europe* tire place which the timid, irresolute* and lOinpfal&ant 
policy of Royalty bad canted to be lost* and France whl give to Uie grateful 
world the spectacle <tf a democracy Which* after having regenerated Europe by 
Its principles, knows how to keep within proper bounds all the elements of 
strength which It contains, and Is amhltloua of no glory* but that of paciiylug 
the world," 

The Neapolitan Minister hai had mi interview with M. iiostide* to demand the 
inteiitlcu of the French Government with mpcct to Sicily, M Btulide replied 
that the Government did not intend thut Sidly should become another Portugal 
for ti re benefl t of Eugl and. Being further nuked what diplomatic uaura* France 
would follow In tho ovont ef the re-conquest of Sicily by Naples, or of the Inter¬ 
vention of England, M. Ruattde declined to answer. 

The Monitor of Saturday contains decrees on the repression uf offences of 
the press aud on the caution money of the journals. The firmer decree sub¬ 
jects to a tine of from 3U0 to G0Q0 francs, nud to Imprisonment of frein three 
months to five years* offences against the righto or authority of tho Ghmf of the 
Executive. agahisE Republican ittoiitmfotw* the Couatllutloti, the prittelplb of the

Imputes caution money of i4,0UO francs for a doily journal, and other cor- 
respfuidJngfltnamitefLjr other periodical publications. 

With respect to the publication of the evidence taken before the Committee 
of the National Assembly on the Insurrection of June, and rite affair of the toth 
of May* It wui looked forward to with much tmeasiness. It was generally be¬ 
lieved that the Government willed to shelve the question altogether, and that 
ft almost shrank before the terrible conflict of person* and paeons wlilidi must 
follow the publication of these monster volumes. Meanwhile* tho Republicans 
ot the morrow, “on the one hand* insisted on the publication, in the hope of 
casting odium on the Republicans of tire eve;” and tho nitre-Democrats coiled 
for It* because they did not choose to bo mode the state-goats of thu offences 
committed by others as well as tbomsulvus since February. 

Thu Committee on the Constitution lias at length completed the project 
amended in consequence of the suggestions of the bureaux. The preamble, it 
Is sold, U retained without material alteration. It would, therefore* seem that 
the Commltt&fl adheres to tho much-disputed clause, which declares that every¬ 
one has a right to demand employment from the Jjtato, a right expressed by the 
w ord* '+ U droit du travail. p>

ITALIAN STATES. 

Lomuaedy am> Pixdmont.—T he news of the occupation of Milan by the 
Austrians, which we briefly noticed last week, has been confirmed. An armistice 
for forty-five days has been concluded between the Austrians and the Piedmon¬ 
tese, according to the terms of which the territorial divisions are settled os they 
were before the war, tho former frontiers tab Hiked, and the fortress of Peachiera 
and tho city Of Venice given up to the Austrians. This cessation of hostilities 
will give time for Hie negotiations which England and Franca have entered into 

for^a mediation^ ^ ^ 6ummfir y of Ihc events immediately preceding the Austrian 

re-occupation of tho capital of Lombardy. 

On the 4th Inst, the advanced guard Of the Austrians arrived within nboiit two 
leagues of Milan, the Picdmcmte&e army having on tho an me day occupied that 
capital. The .Sardinian army attacked it* and gained an ndvantfuro, having taken 
three or four pieces of artillery and some hundred prisoners. The main body of 
tho Austrians, however soon coming up* presented number* so Imposing that It 
would have been a mere act of desperation to have attempted resistance. There 
were three courses open to Charles Albert, he might either allow Ilia army to be 
Shut UP In Milan, and await the assault of the Austrians, which woald hove been 
inevitable. Tire destruction of the city* the massacre of Its Inhabitants, and the 
remains of his army buried under its ruins, are the events that would have pro- 
babty ensued. Or* hei ug Invest ed* he might have farced h is way out at t he poto t 
of the bayonet* tho tote of the city and Its inhabitants being still tha same. Or, 
finally* he might capitulate, obtaining an engagement to respect life and pro¬ 
perty, and permission tor his army to march unmolested to his own frontier, 
Charies Albert adopted the last course. , tl ... 

A large portion of the inhabitants, who, under the direction of Hie Republican 
Com mil tee of Public Safety, had resolved to resist to the death* had thrown up 
barricades, and had expressed their determination net to admit the Austrians 
until the city became a heap of ruins, under which they were content them- 
selves to lie t and when the King's resolution to capitulate became known their 
rage exceeded all bounds. Followed by the populace, they surrounded the Pa¬ 
lazzo Greppi, which wa* occupied by the King* seized his equipage andi broke It 
in pieces* and fired a volley of muskets at the windows of tho palace. The King 
presented himself to them hi person, to remonstrate against their conduct, nod 
to cxpluii] to them the real situation Jn which the capital was placed. They 
rushed upon him* attempting to seize his person, and to retain him as a hostage. 
Being prevented bv the Piedmontese .soldiers present* they pelted Charles Albert 
with mud, uttered against him the most gross language, and finally, threatening 
his life* fired upon hie guards. Tho latter succeeded in extricating the King 
without firing on the people. .... * , ... . 

On tho morning of the 5th tho gates of tho town were opened, and liberty 
given to all who desired to leave the capital. Immediately the active body of 
the nobtem, the great majority of ihe beurywisie, and an immense number of 
persons of all ages, men, women, and children* left with preclpitatfon* some fol¬ 
lowing the march of rhe Piedmontese army towards Novara, and others taking 
the read to Italian Switzerland by Como, 

On tho morning of tho fith, sit the barracks and post* within the city were 
occupied by the Austrian troopa. , _ . .... 

The articles of the capitulation were as follows Hl I. The town shall he re- 
injected. 2. So far as it depends upon hta Excellency the Marshal, he promises, 
as to the past, all the consideration that equity requires. 3. The movement of 
the Sardinian army shall bu effected in two days Of march, as bud already been 
agreed to by the Generali, 5- in return the Marshal demand* the military cc- 
cuptifonV tho Roman Gate* and tho en trade* and occupation of the town at 
noon. li. T he transport Of the sick and wounded shall take place In the two days 
of march, 7, All these conditions arc to receive the acceptation of his S*tr- 
dintnn Majesty, S. ilto Excellency the Marahnl demand tha immediate llbora¬ 
tion of ah the Austrian General*, officers* and functionaries thatram &rMilan. 
—Signed, August A, by the ltoderta of Milan* and by theehlefjj of tho staff of the 

^Thp-^LombardEan troops were concentrating hy order of the King at Trecate 
under the direction of Lieutenant-General Olivieri. 

Charles Albert Issued the two following proclamations* tho first addressed to 
his army and the second to Ms people„ 
Soldiers*—The chances of war have obliged us to re-cross ihe Ticino. The 
last combat under the walls of Milan does honour to your courage, If tha want 
of ammunition has prevented ns from continuing the defence ns wc ardently de¬ 
sired to do* It Is certain that the retreat has cost tho enemy dear. Courage* 
soldiers: organise yourselves quickly and energetically. 1 w r ill have the moat 
severe discipline observed* and every Infraction of It shall he punished with the 
greatest rigour. The police mart he hotter arranged* and private property be 
inviolably respected. In difficult times unity and subordination are more than 
tivor necessary. The cause of Italian Independence that wo have undertaken to 
sustain Is most noble and holy. Past ages have sighed for it, ami now the 
papular wish pronounces itselt far our freedom unanlmoiidy. The days of ad¬

*‘My dear People*—Tiro fate or,war* which at first did not cease to smile on 
tho valour of oar bravo army, has become adverse to us by ihe fatality of nume¬ 
rous rirentnrtnneus, and has obliged w to retreat bo tore tho enemy. In tha 
movement wo were Influenced by consideration far the beautiful capital Of Lom¬ 
bardy* and* persuaded that we should find it abundantly supplied, we were de-

under its walla, ready to make n vigorous resistance* when we learned that they 
were in want of money* provisions, and ammunition, w hilst ours were nearly oil 
expended. What aggravated our situation wa* that the largo park of arid lory 
had been taken towards FtoeiuuL and wu ecu Id not obtain It* the read being in¬ 
tercepted by the enemy. Thus situated, tho flrat necu&lty was to nave Ml an

end by u convent Eon oti tho terms tMt tho place being evacuated by us, the pjta- 
rago beyond, the Ticino should he left free, mid the lives and prepeny of the

native land,—Vlgerrmo, Aug. 7," 

AH accounts concur in describing the distracted alula of things that imme¬ 
diately succeeded the surrender of Mflun. The Piedmontese soldiers were ar¬ 
riving" In scattered and disorganised bands on tbs frontiers of Piedmont* In a state 
of complete destitution and prostration, cursing their chtefe* and charging them 


with acts of the most culpable malversation. Tho number of Milanese and Ve¬ 

netians who arrived at Turin from hour to hour stoking an asylum TTM teoU- 
cnlahle; every aval lab 3c roof was crowded with them. Those unhappy fugitives 
declared that tlio terms Of the capitulation were scorned and derided by tha 
Austrians, who the moment they entered the capital gave themselves up to pil¬ 
lage and the most horrible scenes of barbarism of which any Idea could be 
formed. While these disasters w-cre in progress at Milan, General Wclden* who 
hail raised, the siege of Venice, crossed the Po, and proceeded to Modena, whence 
he issued a proclamation to tho people of Romngnu* announcing that lie had re¬ 
ceived orders from Eilslmperial Stoje^ly to occupy all lire legation*, to pwnfto them 
from brigands, and to reatora order with 90*000 inert and sufficient nrtMery i mid 
In ease the. people intended to resist, ho reminded them of tho smoking ruins of 
Seitni*. 

At Turin* when the calamitous news was made known hy an official bulletin 
published on the 7th* it ewmicd great conrtenmllnn. The populace, excited as 
w r as said hv the agents of tha ex-police, ttasembled. ami denounced, in tho most 
violent manner the liberal party, calling fur the rc-cstahUidiDicnt of the autho¬ 
rity of their King. 

A general pillage and massacre being apprehended* Titrin wo* declared te a 
fttate of siege, a commit tee of public safety wa* appointed* amt the Prince de 
CtLrignan took the command of all the troops On that side of theTkrino. 

A decree tn tliat effect; acccmpan r ed by several others having appeared* the 
Prince* Lieutenant-General of the King, ftsumned the cuimmittd of all tha troops 
on the Ptodinonteite aide of the Ticino and the right of the Po, A second decree 
named a committee of public safely* concentrating hi Itself all the powera of Go¬ 
vernment relating to the maintenance of public tranquillity In tin* capital and 
ita province. A third named commissions charged with taking tho necessity 
measures for mobilisation of the National Guard, A fourth declared that tho 
widows and children of thow who fall, nr have fallen* In fighting tor the conn* 
try are adopted by the State. Lastly, there wax an aHieul, signed by the Minis¬ 
ter of War* calling upon all able men not comprised in I lie reserve lately 
called under arms to enrol them reive* as votenteera. The Committee of Public 
Defence of Turin had ordered tho exam!nation of the fortification6 of the city, 
tho verification of the arsenal* and the d isarming of tho tort ofCaatolletto, whore 
the Austrian prisoners were to bo received. It hud ordered al&o passports to be 
refused to all those who wanted to leave the town without sufficient cause, and 
invited these who hud already left to return on pain of & flue; und taken other 
measures far enrolment, & c ., required by the situation, 

A report prevailed during the week of Milan Irnving been reduced to ashes by 
the Austrians , but it has not been confirmed* and oeems to have originated in 
the fact of the Lltta and Boromeo palaces having been plundered and burnt by 
some of the mob, on the evacuation or the city by tho Piedmontese. 

Charles Albert hod errlvcd at Alexandria on the morning of tha 13th instant. 

The Mlulstrv at Turin having resigned, tho King hud charged M. Merlo, Vice* 
Pres (dent of the Chamber of DeputSoa* together with Count do Kevd, to form a 
Cabinet, 

The PitfmmUtt Comtt of tiro 12th Instant states that the conditions of peace 
proposed by Austria are the following M The definitive union with Sardinia or 
the duchies of Pa no a ami Piacenza* on condition that Austria be pam 57,000,000 
lire. The Austrians would abandon PeschJcra, but the artillery uud arms would 
be restored to them. The abdication of the Kingj and the resignation uf 
Colomhiiino. Minister without a portfolio,** Thu latter condition la said to have 
been dictated by the King uf Naples, 

Raw*.-The state of rho “Eternal City” bns been, for some time past* very 
disturbed* In oomequeuee of some designing men working upon the puadons of 
(lie mob by making It appear to them that the Pope wan very supine Hilda op¬ 
position to the Austrian sway in Italy. In cun sequence of the menacing attitude 
of the Austrians-on tho northern frontier of the Roman State*, the Chambers* on 
the 1st (nst„ voted on addree to the Pope, praying that instant measures might 
betaken tor Ihe protection of Italian independence* and stating that it was ne- 
c&mry Instantly to enrol volunteers, raise supplies* nmd invite foreign aid. 
This address pusscd the Upper House with Alight opposition* and Was presented 
by a deputation in the evening. 

The Pope, in reply* issued un edict, declaring Ida intention to defend the Re- 
msgnti to the utmost. 

This edict* and tho subsequent choice of a new Ministry* produced more tram- 
qtiilllly ; the Guards were dismissed from the CMgi Palace, and the agitators 
broke up thdr sitting, Tho new Ministry was composed of Corbel! Busid, 
Foreign Affairs; Count Fttbbri, Interior; Latiro Lnuri, Finance; Campello* 
War ; Gallottl, Police; SturbinetU, Public Werks, 

In tho Interim tho Chamber* had ^auctioned the follow tn g nnensures:—Tlie 
arming uf 13*000 foreign legionaries. The mobilisation of 15*000 civic guards. 
The appointment flf an experienced Central enjoying public confidence. The 
enrolment of volunteers Lluooghout the State, A loan of tour million of scudi 
to meet the expenses. An address to Ihe Parliaments of Tuscany* Sardinia* and 
Naples* inviting them to he united tor the safety of Italy. 

Momentous events, however, marched with n most rapid pace on the frontier* 
which had been crossed by the Austrian General Wclden with from aouo to 4000 
troops under huj comniund. lie advanced to Bologna, which he entered ; and 
cm tho (tth test, laid a heavy contribution upon the city, and to secure ite pay¬ 
ment required hostages. This demand gave great offence j tho people resisted, 
and tho tocste wos sounded. A dreadful conflict ensued* but the details ai r u not 
given. The Bolognese, however, captured 27 of the enemy's troops, and drove 
the main force out ot the city. Shortly afterwards the Austrians returned, and 
commenced bombarding the town; two of tho palaces were scion in flames, and 
the faubourg pillaged and bunted. The Austrian a lost 4« men killed and 50 
prisoner* ; tho Bolognese 15 killed tin cl wounded. 

The diplomatic corps at Florence* having heard of these hostilities* drew up a 
protest, which they forwarded to the Aurtrian General* urging him* by all the 
laws of humanity and tho maxims of civilization* to cease shedding any more 
blood.

FtAtfKFoar.—ft) the National Assembly of the Confederation* on the I3lh 
instant, the question whether the districts of Trent tuid Roveredo should ho de¬ 
tached from the Germanic Confederacy cr not was the subject of debate, and it 
was decided In the negative. The Assembly then took Into consideration the 
report of the international committee concern teg the war of Austria in Italy. 
Tiro Assembly decided to refer tho report of the commission and all the motions 
on the subject to toe central pinvor. The Assembly ufterwiirds decided, on the 
question of the incorporation of Iatria. Into the Confederation, that that should also 
be referred to tho central power. The public galleries In too locale of the con¬ 
stituent uMttnbly have been clipped of their fair proportions in order to limit tiro 
number of spectators* the “sovereign people" in those galleries baring of lute 
taken a more active part in the praceediugs of the Assembly than pa rli a m e n tary

The Administrator has at test succeeded in completing his Cabinet* and the 
following is the list of it wbleh, he has sent to the National Assembly 

The Prince of Lelningcn, President of the Council; HI- LuckwiU* Minister of

lations, 

PRUSSIA, 

Advices from Berlin of August 13 mention that the statement of the renewal 
of the neat Rations with Denmark, with the consent of the central Executive in 
Frankfort* having loken plate, hod been all but ofttefatiy confirmed, parties high 
in cilice making no secret of tiro matter. It was added, however, that tiro 
Central Executive required the maintenance of German troops In the two 
duchies—a condition that would give umbrage to tho Danes, provided tt were 
fully carried out; but the general impression was that Prussia.would considerably 
modify it. and tiicrobv render it more palatable. The result of the recent dla- 
cussjon in the Constituent Assembly at Berlin* respecting some excesses of tho 
military, had given general satisfaction to tho citizens, Tha declaration 
on tho part of that assembly against the retrogado and anti-dtireu tendencies of 
numerous officers In the army* was gteflUy needed. They are itow called upon 
by the legal representatives of their country either to submit to the new* order of 
things* and to enter Into It in the spirit of the times, ov to withdraw altogether 
from the army. The Assembly had negatived a proportion having In view- the 
modifteath n of tho corps of constables. It bad been tmderalaotl that that 
question was considered a cabinet; one, ho that ihe rejection of the motion by u 
majority of 203 to 132 might be set down as an indirect vote of confidence In 
Ministers. Meantime, the constables were as unpopular as over* but it was 
hoped that the rtunparativuly large number of member* of the Assembly who 
were hostile to them, us ai present constituted, would induct: [hem to display 
greater moderation and forbearance than they had hitherto mantfeated. Several 
persons had been arrested on the charge ol having distributed a revolution my 
catechism. 

Tiro Democrat leal Society of Cologne had forwarded a strong addrcfla to Ihe 
National Assembly In favour of Bollto iiiffionalliy. On the luh the Assembly 
voted their president a salary of 2(N9 florins pet month* ami rendered Sis 
acceptance obligatory,

aiisw-erad to tiro firat question, that the pragmatic wunction in its entire inclining 


has never been questioned, and It has determined to gire ft effect. And with re¬ 
gard to the second poinf* the ministry has ffemred that iirtoTar mt the phms of 
tlte Croats were known, It was not their Intention to separate themsdres from 
the Hungarian crown* and that they alan rested their pretensions on the prag¬ 
matic sanction, Tha ministry also replied that internal peace urns only to be at* 
tallied by the complete union of all uatlouaUtlcs, As yet (added Dobblhof) no 
fln&w r er has been given to this reply. 1 * 

The amicable settlement of tho Hungarfan^Croatian question wwa confidently 
looked for at Vienna. Tho Hungarian Prime Minister* Count fVitthyuny* and

ANWITAT, CONGRESS OF THE BRITISH ARCHAEO¬ 
LOGICAL ASSOCIATION (WORCESTER). 

(.From Ottr own faporierj 

The fifth Congress of this Society commenced at Worcester on Monday last, 
under the distinguished patronage of Lords Lyttelton and Southwell, and the 
principal gentlemen of the county. The Very Rev. the Dean of Worcester, tho 
Canons, and the Mayor and Corporation, exerted themselves to tho utmost 
to ofTor a kind and hospitable reception to tho Association. Every plate Of In¬ 
terest In the dty and neighbourhood baa been thrown open to the members and 
visitors. 

Among the principal attractions of the week* the temporary Museum has 
formed a conspicuous teature, which has occupied the Rooms of the Natural His¬ 
tory Society- Hera have been exhibited a great variety of important manuscripts 
hi the possession or Lord Lyttelton, including an original letter of Queen Eliza¬ 
beth, endorsed, “ A letter of Queen Elizabeth to my grandmother Fagett, upon 
the death of my grandmother Compton Lyttelton It Is a curious and. charac¬ 
teristic effusion, and runs thus 111 A Memorial!. Elizabeth R. Cal to your 
myude good Kate how hardly we princes can broke In crossing of our comandes. 
How yreful wil the blest power be* may you be sure, when mnrmura sbal bo 
made of his pleaslnge wyl. Let nature therefore not hurt your selfe, hut give 
place to the givar. And thogh this lesson be from aseiy vikar, yet la hit sent 
fro’ a levin go aouveraiuo/' This letter Is entirely in the handwriting of tho 
Queen. 

Other manuscripts curiously Illustrative of Ancient Manners and Customs have 
been forwarded. The Rev, Mr. Cooper exhibited a very curious collection of 
Swan Marks of the time of Queen Elizabeth. Mr. Hutch contributed splendid 
specimens of illuminations of the Mth and 15th centuries. Tho Hon. and Rev- 
W, Lyttelton exhibited some valuable early printed books. The Mayor and Cor¬ 
poration permitted some of their moat important documents to be placed In the 
Museum. The Cfothmakere* Company exhibited their ancient and richly deco¬ 
rated charter; but the quantity of manuscripts of all kinds gathered here renders 
enumeration tedious. 

The formation of this Museum does credit to tho energies of the Managing 
Committee of the Association > Great towns are never remarkable for their pro- 
ervatiou of past records ; tho necessity of business, or the changes consequent 


on altered habits* are fatal to relics of the past; and it a only by extensive loca 
contributions, that so curious a collection of scattered antiques oan he brought 
together. Among the moat into resting are those contributed by Mr Eaton, which 
were discovered in removing the monnd known as ** the Castle-hill, si Coated near 
the Cathedral, some years since. A great variety Of articles of Roman, Saxon, and 
the medieval periods were found here i Samian pottery and flue tiles* indi¬ 
cating tho locality of the M world's conquerors*" with ornamental pin* an A 
fibula, Showing the beauty and delicacy of their arts, were discovered on tHs 
snot. Onr cuts exhibits some of these articles: Roman flbulfc, of much beauty 
and variety; an early Celt, contemporary wttb them, or probably earlier, a 
bronze bell* which bears a curious and remarkable similarity to many which 
remain In Ireland, as the mueb-prited relics of their early sainta, Mr. Eaton 
also contributed some curious marble' sculptures of tee fourteenth centory, 
found in nulling down the church of St* Michael, situated in front of tha Cathe¬ 
dral of Worcester. They represent the Virgin and Child, the Coronation of 
the Virgin, and a Female Saint kneeling at a desk: they were probably de¬ 
stroyed at the Reformation; and, although remarkably beautiful works of art, 
were ruthlessly fractured, and built up In the walls aa common matcrisJii 

A singular spear head* dredged from the Severn In IM4, ™ exhibited by 
Jabez Allies, Esq., us well u a beautiful torque found at Ferdtowall; a ring 
with a telismanie Inscription; and a gun lock, a rulie of Worcester fight^_ 

Of andeat seals many curious examples were contributed* ranging from tho 
Norman period to the middle of the seventeenth century; origteal diet for tho 
medals to commemorate the Restoration of Charles the Second* tho Accession of 

oMW. U, Rfllfe, Esq., of Sandwich, Wished forth a rich and 
beautiful variety of Roman antiquities, including fibnl* «id pini, pto uni en^

Mr. Flanthd exhibited a singular relic of the famous Bianca. Ca^lia, a richly .or¬ 
namented scissor-case and its contents, together with her miniature* dated lb(SO. 
The 010^^™' Company contributed a magnificently embroidered pall, very si¬ 
milar in Us character to that belonging to the Fishmongers Company of Lon¬ 
don* It was richly decorated with figures of saints and angels, and stories from 
Scripture, and appears to have been a work of the time of Heuiy the Seventh* 
The original charter of the company was also shown, os well as the old proces¬ 
sional shields borne by them* „

A Bntbseriber from the FirstN—A fail genealogy of the Royrt FamUy Of France 


Towards the dose of every Session, there is always, whatever 
party may be in power, an attack upon, anti a defence of, the 
Foreign policy of the Government* The dose of the present 
Session offers no exception; nor was it to be desired that it diouid, 
when the state of the European continent is so critical, ami when 
an attack upon the conduct of our Foreign Minister is valuable* as 
leading to explanations which might not otherwise have been ren¬ 
dered. The usual attack upon this occasion was made by 
Mr. Disraeli. He displayed the cleverness and bitterness 
which are always expected from him—the one as much as 
the other. Mr. Disraeli did not on this, as on previous 
occasions, ran over the whole of the Continent to find 
vulnerable points in the policy of Lord Palmerston; but 
leaving Spain, that old and sore subject, and even Germany and 
Erance, he confined himself to the affairs of Italy. Ho complained 
of the mission of Lord Minto to Florence, Turin, Home, and 
Naples* He complained also of tho alleged interference of Great 
Britain betwixt the King of Naples and his revolted subjects in 
Sicily; and treated the joint mediation of France and G reat Bri¬ 
tain in the affairs of Lombardy, as if its natural result would be war, 
and not peace; mixing up with these various statements an amount 
of hostile feeling towards the French Government and people which 
we regret to observe in so sensible a man as Mr. Disraeli, and which, 
were they largely participated in by the people of this country, 
could not but have the most injurious effects upon the tranquillity 
of Europe* Happily, the British people, however much they may 
deplore, or however much they may approve of the events that 
have laken place in France, are convinced that no greater calamity 
could happen to the world than a real estrangement betwixt 
these two great nations. Even Mr* Disraeli confessed as 
much towards tho conclusion of Ids speech, although tho 
confession was rendered ungracious by his sneers against 
the present Government ot France, and the principles 
which brought it into existence* Lord Palmerston, in bis reply, 
explained the circumstances under which Lord Minto had been 
requested to mediate and advise in Italy, and vindicated the Go¬ 
vernment from the charge of undue interference, and from the 
imputation of having pursued any course that was not only per¬ 
fectly compatible with the honour of this country, and the 
best’ interests of the various states of Italy, hut that was 
not conducive to the great cause of European peace. His 
Lordship dwelt upon the gratifying fact which had been 
proved by the events of the lost few months, that, within 
the last half century, a rapid advance had been made to¬ 
wards the establishment of an enlightened and peaceful policy 
between notions* The events which have occurred since February, 
1S4S, would have involved Europe in one general conflagration, if 
they had occurred fifty years earlier ; whereas, now, by the cordial 
union existing between the two greatest nations of Europe, thefo 
was every reason to hope and believe that the general peace would 
not bo broken. Altogether, his Lord ship's speech was highly satis¬ 
factory, and cannot fail to have a good effect both in France and 
Italy, as wed as in this country and through Europe generally. 


Oct. 10,1841. 


Lord Morpeth's Health of Towns Bill, after undergoing many mu¬ 
tilations, many postponements, and many hard attacks from the 
friends and foes of the principle involved in it, has at length passed its 
final reading in the House of Lords, and awaits but the Boyal as¬ 
sent to become law. It Is to be deplored, now that the Bill baa 
been carried, that so little good can result from it; and that, while 
Asiatic cholera has already invaded Central Europe, a measure that 
might hare been rendered effectual for preventing or diminishing 
its ravages has been so framed as to he positively useless in Lon¬ 
don, the place most likely to suffer from the scourge, if unhappily 
it should approach our shores, and so curtailed and tampered 
with as to be little better than useless in the other large 
towns of the country. The report of the Registrar-General 
for tho past week gives the number of deaths from English 
, cholera in London as nineteen j while we learn from Berlin that in 
that city, in the first week in August, fourteen persons fell victims 
to Asiatic Cholera. It is evident, therefore, that wc should look 
about us, and prepare for the approaching calamity. At Man¬ 
chester, which is affected by the operations, such us they arc, 
i of Lord Morpeth^ Bill, ft movement has already commenced which 
: may prove useful. The Medical Committee of the Infirmary 
have recommended the establishment of Cholera Hospitals, pro¬ 
vided with a medical staff that shall not only he sufficient ibr the 
treatment of the patients within their walls hut for the rendering 
of advice and assistance to patients in their own houses. Other 
sanatory precautions will precede these ns a matter of course ; and 
tho towns of England that neglect to follow the example will sub¬ 
ject themselves to the interference of ihe central authority in White¬ 
hall* London, however, will be left to its own resources, as will 
Scotland and Ireland—both of which, as well as the metropolis, 
arc unaffected by the measure of Lord Morpeth. It remains to ho 
seen whether our local authorities will prove themselves equal to 
the emergency. __

UstT^ueiT!' RefoaM*—T he memorial praying for a Royal commission of in- 
imirv Into tho brat methods of necoring the improvement of the Universities of 
Uxftml and Cambridge, which had been signed by nearly 300 grad nates and 
former members of those universities, as well as by feme of the fellows of the 
Royal Society, was presented to Lord John Bussell, in Downing -street* on Mon¬ 
day, the 10th July* by Mr, Lyell* F.R.S.* nccompuifod by Sir C. Lemon* Bari , 
AI.P.,F.R.$.*SlrB. Brew ster, F.BA, Mr. E. Ii. Banbury, M P-, &C.; and Mr* Lyel 
observed that the study of many Important branches of knowledge* both moral 
and physical* especially the more progressiva fines, now nominally taught at 
Oxford, had of late been virtually abandoned; chiefly because, according to 
the present system of exam!nations, no proficiency In those science* could lead 
to distinct loti" In that university. Tho classes of experimental philosophy, com¬ 
parative anatomy, chemistry* geology, botany* modem history, political eco¬ 
nomy, and many others* were nearly or wholly deserted. The colleges, by 
dividing the students Into many distinct sections, were unable to torn (ah and 
support an adequate alaffof able and permanent teachers* each devoted fo ono 
department; and, lastly* in times comparatively modern* the clerical J ody Imd 
engrossed An increasing and undue shore In the management of academical 
tuition.—Mr. E. Bunbnxy, oHer adverting to the existence at Cambridge of the 
same evils ax those Indicated by Mr. Lvell nt Oxford, pointed to the great dis¬ 
proportion between the funds of the university and those of the college* as one 
Of the principal caiisaa of the undue preponderance Of the latter, and drew at- 
tori I inti to the constitution of the academic body Itself* as opposing great Ob¬ 
stacles to the introduction, of necessary reforms* especially on account of the 
absolute veto possessed by every member ef the caput, and the want of ell 
power of discussion or amendment or graces In tho senate. He stated at the 
same time tbul the immediate object of the memorialist# wo® not to urge specific 
measures of reform* but to obtain a preliminary inquiry by means of a Royal 
commission .—Lord J. Russell* in reply, stated that he would take flic subject 
Jute hls serious consideration* that his attention had already been drawn to It, 
and That he found that a groat variety of opinions were entertained ns to the 
best method of effecting reforms; but that lm agreed with the memoriatoite as 
to tho existence of defects In the present system.

THE STATE TRIALS- 

On Satui-dsy morning the jury in tho case of Mr. GTtohorty were discharged 
without having cmiie to an agreement. Thin result took the public no leas than 
the crown by surprise. Before tho jury retired on Friday, tho foreman observed 
that somo of hls brother® did not understand the terms prin dfack, which Baron 
Ferine father had used in htn direction, He told the jury' Hint tho fact of Mr. 
O’Dcherty befog registered os proprietor of the Tribune w&aprimd M'ie evri 
deuce of his having written the indicted articles, and* therefore, of entertaining 
the bitenta they proclaimed. But he told them they were to judge whether that 
evidence was not also conclusive- A portion of the jury did not know* or 
affected not to know, the meaning of the two Latin term#, and stoutly contended 
teat primd fade evidence meant no evidence, and that they would not convict. 
That was a statement at least generally believed* l bux Mr, O’Doherty has es¬ 
caped for tee prerant* He will* however, be tried again at this commission, and 
the Grown will probably offer the MS. of the articles, of which it has possession,

Sure* the Bala of Mr. Rockford's cele¬ 
brated FonthtU Abbey, no auction has 
probably excited so much attention and, 
speculation as (be sale of the furniture and 
effects at the Duke of Bm Mnghaiu's re¬ 
nowned seat of Stowe.* 11 t- magnitude 
of the bunding, and tti ■ r - n e»ra quan¬ 
tity of furniture necessarily required In 
]t. some of which la of great beauty and 
value, the enormous quantity of Kpver 
and sliver gilt plate, and the highly valu¬ 
able display of articles of &iwur*™,with 
KaffaeHe ware, and all kinds of china In 
abundance, with very many fine pic¬ 
tures and other worts Of art, render* this 
sale truly memorable; whilst the length 
of time occupied by the disposal of so 
many lots (about thirty-four days) is 
equally remarkable, and will form a most 
Interesting page in the history of sale* 
by auction. 

It Is our intention to illustrate moat 
amply this Interesting sale; and to enable 
as to carry out our intention, we have 
boon favoured by Messrs. Christie and. 

Men son with special permission for our 
artists to make elaborate and faithful 
drawings of some of the most Interesting 
and beautiful works of decorative art, 
bijouterie, plate, fcc., with which the noble 
apartments In the mansion were stored : 
and, to add to the interest of the series, 
we purpose gjvlhg several views of the 
most picturesque spots In the grounds. 

It may be necessary to premise that 
OUf Illustrations and descriptions will not 
follow in tha precise order of the Cata¬ 
logue, us our aim lx not to produce an 
illustrated list, but a general descriptive 
sketch of the most remarkable objects 
In the sale, with graphic illustrations of 
the moat Interesting and valuaqlc. 

This week w& commence our series 
with an DlnsttAtion containing two views 
in the pleasure-grounds, surrounded by 
a border composed of different articles 
of taste and vtrtu. 

The upper view la the grotto, and tha 
scene is taken from the borders of tha 
lake, whence It has a most picturesque 
effect. The lofty trees which enshroud 
the grotto give great beauty to the spot; 
and the quiet solitude* broken only by 
the plash of water, and the murmuring 
of doves which nestle amidst the trees, 
is In harmony with the character of the 
building. 

The lower view la tha Temple of Vic¬ 
tory, and In Its form. It is taken from the 
celebrated Maisou Carrtfe, at Nismcs. 

This is the largest* and perhaps tho best 
temple in the gardens* and has a good 
effect in Its situation. Near this temple 
her Majesty and Prince Albert* oa their 
visit in 1845* planted two trees.t 

We may here observe that arch Etectural 
art Ima not seconded nature in adding 
to the beauty of the gardens at Stowe; 
for, while the trees are of the grandest 
forms and the most luxuriant growth* 
the temples are miserable efforts of in¬ 
vention* devoid of beauty of outline or 
character, and some even thoroughly 
ugly In their appearance. Still, with 

even these drawbacks, a ramble through the gardens at Stowe In most delightful, houra with the then owner, Lord Cobham, The mansion was originally built 
“The arched walks and twilight graves,” the long avenues of magnificent beech by Fetor Temple, Eaq., in the reign of Queen Elizabeth ? it was rebuilt by Sir 
and elm trees* with sombre chesnuts and graceful ash trees occasionally inter- Richard Temple, who died In 1697* It has since been much, enlarged and un- 
mingied, are of themselves sufficient to redeem any tasteless architectural em¬ 
bellishments \ and the exquisite bright water of the lake* reflecting with mar- 
vellou* fidelity every leaf and branch in its truly mlrror-lika surface* adds a pe¬ 
culiar charm to the scene* not easily forgotten. 

The cm aments surrounding the views we have Just described ore* as before 
observed, taken from some of the articles of vcrtti In Stowe House. The upper 
border la composed from the border to a silver framed toilet glass, and the 
original Is a very beautiful work of art, of the early part of the last century* 

In the original, eagles, displayed* adorn the upper corners of the frame, and 
angels the lower ones, and the fit And is of silver* in corresponding taste 5 the 
bottles, ic. being mounted in sliver. The. tall .vase on the right hand la a 
beautiful work In silver, gilded, and Is most exquisitely chased; the base of it 
Is very piquant in style* and well designed. The antique Roman sarcophagus 
la the centra is only a portion of lot 745* as* for the want of space, we have

It we have placed a small cup of Chan¬ 
tilly ware (lot 130} of most exquisite 
workmanship, the handle to which Is 
formed of a small branch, leaves from 
which spray out on the side of the cup* 
and give richness and variety of cha¬ 
racter to the whole. Thu body of the 
cup is barrel-shaped, and Is adorned 
with paintings of flowers. To the rear 
of the rarcophagua* a beautiful oviform 
vase of Rsffa&Uo ware, (lot 483) is in¬ 
erted in tho group. It Is a won¬ 
derful specimen of design and colour* 
and the subject upon it Is men fight¬ 
ing, the figures being pencilled with 
great delicacy of touch and vigour o 
action. In purity of outline this raw 
may be put in comparison with the an¬ 
tique. A large and magnificent side¬ 
board vase, one of two lota (456* 457) o 
plate* completes the group, and it Is a 
most exquisite work Of art. It i< of sil¬ 
ver glided* and rests on a stand of open 
scroll-work. Two handles spring from 
above musks with wide open mouths 
Tho neck and body of the vase are fluted 
and the former tapers* and has a grace¬ 
fully formed llp r under which la a nicely 
sculptured mask of a $3 lenua. The cover 
of the vase is terminated by a figure o 
a cavalier. 

Our other Engravings, this week* re¬ 
present the miniature of Charles 1L, by 
Cooper; a crystal cup and vase; an os¬ 
trich egg, and cocoa-nut: and the badge 
of Sir R, Temple, The miniature of 
Charles II, (lot 277 Of pictures) is* in¬ 
deed, a moist exquisite work of art, helne- 
fluished with the Utmost delicacy and 
force of expression. This miniature ha* 
long been celebrated, and well merits 
its reputation. It was seat by King 
Charles in 16M, to Henry Lord Beau¬ 
champ. and therefore rep resents Charles 
In hia earlier years, not as die hard- 
featured King, The case Of the minis- 
tore is painted In enamel, the interior 
having a landscape, and tho exterior 
tioreated pattern* set with rose dia¬ 
monds. 

The Engraving of aferyrial vase repre¬ 
sents lot 824, a beautiful specimen of 
compressed oviform character. It is 
made of a single block Of rock crystal, 
and to very exquisitely enriched with 
arabesques, of old Italian taste. The 
mountings arc of good characteristic de¬ 
sign. of sliver gilded. Another crystal 
cup (lot 1887) we have also engraved, 
mounted In silver gilt* the rim of the 
mounting being set with fourteen largo 
amethysts. The crystal is old, but the 
setting! wb may observe. Is of modem 
workmanship. 

Lot 377, an ostrich egg, mounted In 
sliver* as a sideboard cop. Is in fine 
taste. The setting in tho foot is beauti¬ 
fully chased, and tho stem is com¬ 
posed of a group of three ostriches 
whence spring terminal figure* to sup¬ 
port the sides of the cup. The rim sur¬ 
rounding tho top oi tho cup is en¬ 
graved with hunting subjects. 

Tho Badge and Ribbon of the Order o 
tho Bath, worn by Sir R. Temple at tho Commotion of Charles TL* will bo sold 
amongst the pictures* and It la lot 279 of that portion of the rale. It is a very 
Interesting and beautiful piece of knightly Jewellery of the period. 

The rale commenced on Tuesday, and was well attended. The lota were prin¬ 
cipally china of various kinds, and Majolica or Raffaulte ware plates* &c. Some 
oF the specimens of china were very beautiful* especially lot 43, a pair of Chelsea 
china vases, oviform, with huiadies, and painted with subjects from Roman his¬ 
tory. Thera vases wore exquisite specimens of their kind. Some of the pieces 
of old Worcester china were of good design and style of pointing, and most 
of the specimens realised high prices. The Chelsea vases just mentioned soli 
for ,£33 Ids. The Majolica ware commanded very high prices* find the piucea 
were chiefly of flnedo tgn and colour; and though some of the pieces had been 
broken in parts, generally they were In good preservation. The subjects upon 
them were from the Scriptures and heathen mythology, and hut few in which

A Oommitke of the Lords of Iter Majesty’s Privy Council for 'Prado 
and Foreign Plantations had a meeting on Wednesday, at the odteo of tlio

Board of Trade, the Yji^-Pseshierit, the Secretary of State forth e Colonies, the 
Chanoallor of the Duchy of Lancaster* and Mr Edward, Ryan, 


ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA, 

Rossini's imsterplecQ, ” Guillaume TolI,’ k was produced on Satarday night* 
under very dined van tageotts clrcumeEanccs, M. Roger, who Was the Am 0 ld t and 
Tamburtni* the ffilttim Tell, both having severe colds, so much so tliut they 
wore ttitawa to appear on Tuesday night, when ft was IniemtoU to have por- 
f rmed the opera a second time. It may iso guessed, that, with the two principal 
characters almost hors dr combat, the ^lury of the execution feU ahuctst 
cxcltulvely on the choral and Oicliestral forces ; and* great as their 
tTiimiph had leen in Meyerbeer's “ Hiiguenota," It may be questioned whether 
Saturday night's achievements have not surpassed oil titulr former doings. 

Indeed, under auy circuniolances, this work mainly depends for effect on its 
majulve concerted pieces, 14 GuHlaunie TelT was origliiaHy produced at the 
Thfltre de la Nation, formerly styled the Acaddnaie Itoyale de Mnsiqae In Parts, 
In August, 1829 t and It has been a popular production not only In that capital, 
hut in the principal towns of Italy, Germany, Holland, Belgium, &e. ^Lon¬ 
don It has been presented In Italian end English adaptations ; but, although well 
mounted* these representations hitherto lacked the essential ingredients of an ef¬ 
fective interpretation, a first-rnteorcheotm, like that Of Cuita, and u hpdy of 
chorhtters. not only good musicians, but able to act us well as sing. With., such 
powerful adjuncts, the feebleness of the dramatic story will not be felt, and, like 
the " 2Aialjerflbto Kf of Mozart, and the 14 Euryanthe," the Indifference of Hie li¬ 
bretto not prevent its permanent position in the operatic repertory. 

The overture was encored rapturously; the introdoctory andante in three- 
four lime was esquialtely played by Ltodley. Nothing could be more perfect 
thfin the general execution: Barrett on the oboe, and Ribas on the flute, i. 
Harper, Hwidley, Platt, Jurrctt, Cloffl, ITospbre, Lfliarus, Batmtum, &c.. In 
the bits for the braes and wood bnnd T and the general body of Striked tod by 
Sainton, played, with wonderful precision and Irresistible energy, 7 he introduc¬ 
tion, which comprises toe chorus of peasantry preparing for thw nuptial frU of 
three couples; the lovely romance of the fisherman ; and the quartet between 
him, TtU, Edtdge, end Jemmy {Tells wife and son)! the <l Ran* deaVacheo, 
antioanclnfftlie approach, of hfetethat and his son Arnold; the aolo of the fnnner, 
and seateuo and churus—aU went beaut Ifaliy. The duo w 1 1 Ich follows betu een 
AnteM and JVf betrayed at once that neither Roger nor Tamburtni waa lu 
voice, although tho former uobly declaimed bis opening recitative, it into 
gluro.” The music accompanying MekihoPs benediction, finely sung by Polo- 
ntoi. and the celebration of the three marriages* was curtailed of tho J Pm do 
Six” and of the " Pas d"Archers'’ and chorus-an omission scarcely polltie. 
The flualo to this act, beginning with Lmtoldo (MH), pncMicd by the Ausrrtana* 
demanding Hto aid of Teit to convoy him acrasa the torrent for safety, and ter¬ 
minating with toe prayer of the Swiss and Ibc Imprecation* of the Austrians^— 
went magnificently. Mdlle. Corbin I, who wm tbe Jemmy, missed the high notes 
li Mot ted rn TeWt sen after Mrleihaf* setouro, mid toiu a very great point was lost. 

The ,l Chorus of Hunter," opening the second act, and the eiibsequent cur¬ 
few of the Swiss as they retire ft am toil at aunact, were atlmlrablyldone. in ujc 
celebrated reel toll ve jmd romance of Jfatfide, ** lla s’dlolgnent enfln*" aim 
14 Sombre forcL 4 ' Ndilc. Castollan sang cleverly, bnt was not eutHctontly 
impassioned; and her wont tit dramatic sensibility was still more 

apparent in the following duo between hatilde and Arnold, forming 

a siriklng contrast to tho feeling displayed by Roger. In tbe next trio, 

which Is retftti-Lled os one of the finest compositions in the world* 

all Itogcrts express! veneis could not coin penmate for his husklncsa, and be wo* 
evidently pmstrated by bis physical inability to carry nut Into conceptions. 
Marini sang ssrperbly his portion pf the trio; and Tainbnrliil, albeit dtotreeaud 
to attain tho high notes, gave his music like u trus artist. The intensity of grief 
manifested by Arnold in this &h), wh&n totonuedof hla father's thuth by Oetirr’i 
orders* ccnstitutea h picture of gTlef and desalattoti I hut has never been ear* 
puvsed In musical rccordfl. The trio Is replete with varied emotions* and skil¬ 
fully prepares the way far toe finale —tho meeting of the three call tone of 
Lmterwalrf, Sehwytx, ami LTri-thc db-toriptive mu.'tic to each canton being won* 
derfatly imagined. The eeniatieu created by thb finale equalled ulSJt pro¬ 
duced by to. ihlrd act of tho “Huguenots." The audience encored a dtonu, 
■* Pari a,’* the pianissimo sttahicd In which by the chorus singers was prndl- 
ghiLL&ly fine. The exclamation 14 To arms ! 4 ' at the closo of thh/flffto, bi ought 
dnwii toundm Of applau-se* A more effective tableau thsti the Swias moun¬ 
taineers. with uprated pikes, rushing tumultuously forw ard, has never boon 
witnessed* bL , , . __ 

We may Mate that the excitement finished at this act, for the second and toil d 
acts fell comparatively lifeless on tho ear, A tedious eccno of Mattitie* opening 
Tito third act, usually omitted at Palis, was an Juju did on* restoration. The 
march, and entrance dl Gesler on the Pluca dAltorf* was done juaifee to by Ta- 
gtiitftor,. The ,4 TyTotlenno u and accompanying chorua, dancctl by Lueito Gratm, 
SltiHo. Warhier, and Gonticr* although capitoJiy executed, was received coldly, 
and certainly affords nu cncourngement to rert ore the pas de satdats, as luw 
been suggested* The qustuor and chorus leading to Telit cavatina, prior to hi* 
hitting tho apple off the head of his son Jemmy , went hcavUy; and the quintet 
and churn b succeeding this apoaypUtl scene dragged still more* so that tho 
third oct wont flatly. Roger's tllitosss, of course, deprived his grand seen* opon- 
Ing the fourth act of interest, except the painful one Attendant upon hearing a 
great nrtisi vainly stntvgllag to achieve whnt hia physical powers prevent him 
from accomplishing. In Furls, since Duprei'a great success in Arnold, ft lias 
been usual to tonninste theopeiawitii the air of the tenor; bill Costa has re¬ 
stored the trio of soprani between if alible, Edvdgt, and Jemmy, the musJcfll in- 
terest of which fs entirely de^imyed by the absurdity of tho dramatic situation— 
a Princess ol the Imperial liouw Of Hapshurgh numlng After Eduvje to restore 
her son. The finalu chorus waHeffecU%e. Costa has iseteeted the quick move¬ 
ment of the overture to illustrate MT» triumph over the Austrians and the 
liberation of Swltrertand* 

Nothing could have bean mounted with greater splendour. The beanMfill 
scenery by Grieve andTethin, witb the dloremlc effects of sunset and moon rising, 
the picturesque costumes, the effective groupings and process tons, were all con¬ 
ceived In an artlstleal spirit. 

Owing to the Indisposition of Roger and TamburJnJ* the second representation 
OH Tuesday wn* postponed, and ltosainl'a ' 4 Tancredi 1 "announced In its place ; but 
this Opera was again ch-nged nt the eleventh hour, in consequence of Madame

Finding that Tandcrille did not offer pahtiyto t suffidently attractive to tho fre¬ 
quenters of tola theatre* either from want of that delicate finish and detailed 
reflection of actual drawingroom life, which nlnno renders it cuutuffig* or from 
the palates nf the audience having been accustomed to more exciting dishes, the 
management bna adopted another course, and produced a. decided meto*drama, 
all effect, slltution* and surpriM, To judge from the load applause with whicli 
It waa received by a crowded house on Monday night, a hit has been made in 
the right direction, Mr. Shirley Brookes, too author, has taken the totijeet of 
this piece, which is called * The Magician," from flldlhro history. He has, how¬ 
ever* departed from truth, be he acknowledges In il» bills, for the sake of Im¬ 
proving the const ruction of his play. Poisoning find Intrigue, terminating with 
the death of ('buries of Anjou, amt tho triumph of Pedro of An agon, after the

which is well put together, and shews that Mr. Broohcais os clever at build!eg 
a mrio-draiiia as a comedietta. 

The three principal parts, those of Albert <f Awjlarde, a young French noble* 
Grntil Bruno, the court physician, ami the Magician (who Is no k-v) n pcnmn tium 
Fcdro of Arragon In disguise), were vary effectively performed by Mr, Leigh 
Murray, Mr, a. Younger, and Mr. Emery* Rut hern our com mend at ion must 
stop; Yor tbs succor of the piece was more than once Jeopardised by tho utter 
in competency of the othwr performers to represent the character* allotted to 
ill cm. We si [i mb l except Mrs. Ldgh Murray freiu this dlaprelse, as her port was 
bv no moans stilled to her. She is an excellent " walking Judy/' and, when 
Madame Vcatris was ill, played Theseus capitally j but aha laths Intensity for 
melodrmnu. 

Some ttow (ceoery lm Wren painted for "The Magldati.” Of this, the mod 
artLstic was an Lutcrlor* with a carved oak cabinet— the coarsest, some pillars, 
betivcou wliicli was seen a very pronanct blue sky* 

The applause at tho eonclttoien waa, na wo have staled, very loud and general; 
and Mr. Shirley Brookes had to appear before the curtain to receive tho well- 
earned congratulations of the audience* 

SURREY* 

The present unfavourable weather, which Is death to the hopes of Vauxhsll, Is 
certainly great fhn to the Surrey manogcra, for Lhc honse J» crowded nightly, 
and literally to the celling, which the occupant of the Iasi row of the glittery

house to flee Hr* Rnckrtonn and Mm, £-ItawilUitEi in " The Flowers Of tho

ON THE METEOROLOGY OE THE QUAETER ENDING 
JUNE 30, 1848* 

To the quarterly report of the Registrar-General, an abstract of which wo pub 
Halted last week, is appended the nsual elaborate Meteorological tables* ac¬ 
companied by remarks upon the weather during the months of April, May* and 
June, by Mr. Qhdsher* Tito report says that the weather during the ttf*t month 
of this li uarter was a continuance of the wet wea titer of the two preceding months; 
that during May was extremely fine; and that In the month of June was change¬ 
able, wet, and dull. Till April & the daily temperatures of the air exceeded the 
averages of the same days of seven previous years by 11*9* 12% io% ld & l, and 
7°a; on the (ith it was be Jaw the average, and for the most part continued bulow 
till May 2, at times to a great extent; from this time ISU the 30(Ji of Nay the 
dftliy tempemtmes exceeded their averages by Quantities varylngfrem 2° to l&°. 
From May 30 to the end of thu quarter ilia dally temperatures were below their 
average values, wltii t-he exception Of eight days only* 

The mean temperature for the quarter wua 35% exceeding that of the cor¬ 
responding quarter in the preceding seven years by 1*7. 

The moitn temperature of the dew point for tho quarter was 47°2'p which Is 
(P2 above the average for the corresponding period of seven ye&ro. 

Therefore* the mean weight of waier— viz. 3 ,k groins—was very nearly of Its 
average value, and, In ccim&qucnce of the higher temperature, the degree of 
humidity was less; its value (or (lie quarter Wits 742, ihat or tho same period 
for seven years was 801. where complete arturatlon was represented by ftJOO. 

The mean reading qf the barometer for the quarter w-ss 29,71D inches* which 
Is drOAB inches baa than tho average of the beio re-men Honed seven years. 

The rain fallen at Greenwich In tho quarter wm 7,3 inches, w hich t& 3.1) inches 
above the average fall for the same period in tire preceding seven years. The 
tend amount fallen In this year till June 30 was 1&*2 Inches, which is nearly six 
inches above the average lull In Lifts period* as deduced from tho above-men¬ 
tioned yeois. So large a full of rain as 7.3 inches has not occurred at the Ob¬ 
servatory within the corresponding quartci - since tho year 1824 , and so largo a 
fall as 15 Inches within (ho drat six months of the year hoa not taken place 
within the previous 33 years* probably net within this century. 

With tespuct to cloud* it is renin rked that the month of May ivas distinguished 
by this remarkable peculiarity—that the sky was utwolutcly cloudless, both day 
and night, during the flret eight days, and almost free from cloud till tho ifith 
day* the atmosphere being free ftom haze during tillsthue. These circumstances 
are without a parallel on record. 

Thunder-storms occurred on thirteen different days during the quarter: and 
snow fell at Ettflrcn Walden on April 0 ; at Stone, lu BtickinghuuiAhire, April 
10 - and at Leeds on April 11* 

The following remarks are appended relative to agriculture. The heavy rains 
In April, following tho wet weather of February and March* caused the Jam! lobe 
in a sodden cd *rntc, and rivers generally to bo much swollen. The thunder ■ storms 
in many places did much damage. Tho mouths of February, Maroh, und April 
were so wet that the spring com w as sown with much difficulty, Tho month of 
May was distinguished by high temperature, cloudless skies both day and night 
for along period, very small falls of rain, with only the average amount of water 
mixed with the air* notwltt^taudlug the high temperature, ao that the degree of 
hum kilty Was small. The earth became sun-baked and so hard as to bo almost 
unbreakable; vegetation was greatly checked. During tiio month of Juno thu 
earth again became saturated; the Crops Improved* and at tho end of the quarter 
there was every prospect of fi full average produce. 

A Quarterly Meteorological Table Li appended, containing the results deduced 
fromthlrty-sevoq dlfferent places: this tablois followed by remarks indicating 
the places where an eica&i or defect of any of tins mutoarnlogicol elements bas 
existed. From this part of tho report we exti act LM following:—** Tito fall Of 
rain during the quarter has greatly exceeded tire average amount for tire season. 
The places at which rain fell on (lio greatest number of days wtro Leeds, Kot-

ditHift of Ireland, and entered into im.oxumlnation oI ita causes. Ho contended 
that Justice had not been done by the Imperial Parliament to Ireland, because 
those remedial measures so often promised, end rdcaratncndcd by every pol tical 
writer during the last fifty years, had never been granted. The promises and 
conditions made at the time of the Union had never been fulfilled* anil the go¬ 
vernment of Ireland wjiti a government of force, and not one of public opinion. 
The noble Earl complained that the waste lands had not been cultivated, that 
municipal franchises had not been conceded, and that religions distinctions hact 
been preserved. He particularly dwelt on the offensive farms of the oaths pre¬ 
scribed to bo taken by Members of Parliament, and Insisted that the Irish Es¬ 
tablished Church should be red need to Its legitimate proportions. He considered 
that that Church liatl abundant property for itself If re-constructed, and for the 
Roman Catholic Church for the people* If established. 

1 |The Marquis of Lasspowhe regarded this Bill, in the strictest os well as the 
largeNt sense, as a remedial measure. To ensure the peace nf Ireland, and to 
establish the security of life and property La that country, was the first tiling 
necessary. Until the supremacy of the law and the power of the Government 
to put down the organised tyranny csorehied In Ireland should be made mani¬ 
fest, it would b^ useless to tit tempt to Introduce measures With the view of in¬ 
ducing person* to invest capital In Ireland. The delay of the remedial mea¬ 
sures originated with Ireland herself, and not with the Imperial FarlEamont, and 
tha bar to all improvements was the disposition of the Irish to rebel. 

Tho Duke of Wellington supported the Bill, as the complement of the mea¬ 
sures proposed by the Government for the purpose of putting down rebellion. 
He know something of military affairs, and lie had no hesitation in buying that 
this Bill wsm absolutely necessary, and that it should he carried into execution 
with the greatest Activity, Unless the organisation of clubs were put effectually 
down, the rebellion could not be suppressed without extraordinary and enormous 
bloodshed. 

The Earl of GLENOiLri approved of the Bill as far as ft went; but, unless ho 
we* assured that the Government would prevent the re-fortnutlon of the Repeal 
Association, he eould not feel satisfied' 

After a few observation 9 from tho Earl of Dcsart* Lord Kfaeadolc, and the 
Marquis of Clmrteardq* the Bill pasacd through committee, an amendment 
moved by Lord Glengall haring been withdrawn. 

The Pnrltamcntary Electors Bill was read a second time* 

The Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Rill, the Loan Societies BUI, the Highway 
Rates Bill, and the Bankrupt Release Bill were read a third timo and passed,— 
Adjourned.

The Loslon asd North-Western Railway—The Strike of the En- 
QTNE-DnivEita.—Mr, TiioaNti-r Inquired of the honourable gentleman the mem¬ 
ber for Kendal (Air. Glyn), with respect to tho recent disagreement between the 
directum of the North-Western Railway mid their engine-drivers and assistants* 
whether any agreement bud been come to between the men end Ihetr employers 5 
and, if not, whether any efficient means had been taken to secure the safe work¬ 
ing of the line ? (Hear, hear,)—Mr. Glen had the satisfaction nf being able to 
inform the House that tho directors of the North-Western Railway had taken 
every precaution for the proper working of the line. (Hear, hear.) A very con¬ 
siderable proportion of tho old engine-drivers and their assistants had returned 
to their duty, and, with the nid of the exporlencod men whose services hud been 
obtained from other lines* he was happy to state that from that morning every 
train would be worked as before by men fully competent to the discharge of 
their duty. He answered the question wttii the more satisfaction, that lie was 
ftune tho House would agree with him in thinking that no surrender should have 
boon made on the part of the company to tho men who had taken that recent 
Alep. The entire affair origin 11 ted with a club, who had sent down their orders 
the preceding night to the members of the dob engaged on the northern por¬ 
tions of tho line to quit the employment of the North-Western Company. Owing, 
however, to the vigilance of the officers of the company* the designs of tho club 
hod been frustrated* and the men had not left their employment. He could tell 
the Hou*e of many tricks which had been played by the men 1 but, without en¬ 
tering into those details, lie would only assure tho Heuae that the public service 
would be conducted with Its usual punctuality and. regularity, (Hoar, hear.)

On tho motion to go Into a Committee of Supply* 

Lord G. Rests nce moved an address to her Majesty, praying that she would

Secretaiy of Stale for the Colonics copies of the omitted correspondence between 
the Provincial Secretary of Canada and the Secretary to tho Montreal Board of 
Trade* and would direct that the same bo laid, before the House. The noble

joinder of toe Secretory to the Montreal Board of Trade. 

Lord J. Bussell objected to the motion, on the ground that It would Imply a 
censure on Lord Elgin and Kincardine; but he had no object ion to tho produc¬ 
tion of the paper referred to* and rise Under-Secretary of tho Colonies would 
take 1 ha first opportunity to move that It bo laid on the table. With this esau- 
ritnce lie expressed a hope that tho noble Lord would allow his motion to be 
negatived, and the House to go into Committee of Supply, 

Lord Geoaoe Rent luck acquiesced* and his motion was negatived without u 
division. 

The Heuoe then went Into Committee of Supply, and several votes of tho mis¬

Sheep Importation Prohibition Bill.— The question of the third reading

the last in tho direction of protect ion .—Mr* LiUOtrenERE said compliments from 
the noble Lord to toe Board of Frade were so mro, that* If ho could honestly ac¬

SUPPLY. 

The House having gone Into Committee of Supply, and the rote far the sa¬ 
laries and expomes of iho Foreign Office having beon put, 

THE FOREIGN POLICY OF THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT, 

Mr. Diskaeu proceeded lu condemnatory terms to bring the foreign policy of 
tho Government fthdei* Consideration, particularly with ro-pcct to Italy. The 
lion- gentleman strangiy condemned the system of Intervention or Interforenco 
tn tho affairs of foreign countries; ami, though approving of tho alliance of 
tYunce ami England* ho was ad verse ta their co-opomtion In the ay a tom of In* 
tervention, as he considered it would only lead to a general war. 

Lord Palmerston defended tho policy of tho Government with regard to 
foreign states, mrticjilarly Italy. With respect to tho latter country, he said* 
*'Tbo honourable gentleman seems to bo hotter Informed than he wishes the 
honourable House to infer with regard to tho mission and grounds upon which 
my noble friend tho Earl of Min to proceeded. Every one was* in name degree* 
aware of how my noble friend acted, Tha facts of the case are shortly these :■— 
Towards tho end of the year* as it is well known, in consequence of the altered 
policy of tho head of the Roman Government* principles nf reform began to pre¬ 
vail* and constitutional demonatrationB were promulgated OTcr tho w holesurf&ce 
of the country. DlffieuSties were experienced between the Government and 
people with regard to those events, there being on the part of the Government 
a desire to retain what the people wanted to abolish. These difficulties were no¬ 
where more pressing than to the city of Remo, A coimniiuEcfitiou was made to 
me from a quarter upon which! could rely, conveying to the Government of 
thia country that It was the OJUtlum desire oi the Government of ftumo that ail 
official mission should be sent to Romo, to uid that Government* by Ua counsel 
end advice, in settling too disputes between it and Ita people. It was said there 
might he legal difficulties in tho way of sending an accredited agent to Rome. 
But tim U was suggested mlgbt be removed, by sending an individual to Romo* 
who* though not actually commissioned by this country* yet, being a person 
having the con(1 deuce of the British Government* and being one possessing di¬ 
plomatic experience* might effect a groat service to arranging tho difficulties In 
question. Such a person wo deemed Lord Mm to to be, He wjus at that 
time, on his own private business, spending some time In Italy; and I 
thought I could not hotter fulfil the intentions which were in 
view Ilian by advising her Majesty to de^re the Earl of Min to to 
proceed to Romo to that unofficial capacity* Indeed, in which ho b&d 
acted* but combining with It rhe weight of being a member of tile Govern rneiu, 
and possessing Ite entire confidence, giving him a discretion to act upon any ami- 
den emergency that might present itself. My noble friend was instruct eft to 
take Turin arid Flore nee on his way; and he carried letters uf credit appointing 
him upon a special mission to thare two courts, if he found it wan the wish of 
those Govemmentfl so to receive him* To Rome, howover* my noble friend car¬ 
ried no ,+ official letter,'’ Tho hon. gentleman who has just addressed the House 
asked what were the objects which my noble friend bud In view. I can say, In 
the first place, that the Interference was not uncalled for. My noble friend 
was to bo asked to give such counsel as might tend to removesnch difficulties as 
might be pointed out. This waa the purpose of hkmlsston—a purpose whi -h ho 
successfully accomplished. (Hear.) My noblo friend* on the one hand, pointed 
out to the Governments tfiet they might (nut theh- subject* with the exercise 
of more const it it lion id privileges ; and, on the other hand, to tho subjects, that* 
however ardent they might ho for reforms, their national objects wuntd be best 
alt-lined by placing confidence to their respective Governments, and not urging 
them suddenly to Change tong-estobltolled InidUntlcms. In Turin and Florence 
ray noble friend has been successful. Great and important change* have been 
made in those two States without the disturbance of tho public irunqutlltiy, or 
without the interruption of those, hnnuouloun relation* between Sovereign and 
subject which It is such n deslrnblo Object to maintain. My noble friend's en¬ 
tire progress throughout Italy waa almost an ovation. He waa received 
everywhere with the acclamations of the people, and with open 
arms by all tha Courts. At Itomo my noble friend's labours were 
directed to the same objects, an t were attended with the same success," 
The noble Lord then detailed Iho circumstances under wtiFch Lord Min to bad 
been invited to Naples by the Neapolitan Government to effect a reconciliation 
between the totter and the Neapolitan and Sicilian people, and the maimer to 
which liie breaking out of the French Revolution of February had Interrupted 
the negotiations when brought almost to a satisfactory conclusion* and then 
stilted, on tho subject of (heJoint mediation of Franco and England in Northern 
Italy 11 What both Governments may unite together to do in this respect must 
be a work of pence. The French Govern meat said to ns, * If you will offer me* 
(Ration conjoined with US, we will suspend our decision as to any Intent ions 
which may lead to tho adoption of other measures,' ] say, sir, that tho Go¬ 
vernment of this country would be lueupnbte of discharging the respond hie du¬ 
ties which devolve upon them* if in such case they had not acted In the manner 
described. That, then, la tho only motive which,’ has led tu to ucccpt of ibis 
joint mediation. The principle Is that of maintaining tho peace of Eu¬ 
rope. The means and objects by which this h to bu brought about give 
rise ta a question which resolves Itself into a series of details* and 
which I feel it is my duty at present to refuse” (Hear, bear.) 
In conclusion lie nbserved, “It Is consoling To find these who are at present the 
organs of public opinion in tho preach nation, Instead of turning toore, os was 
done in the dm revolution, »H the bad passions Of tho people for the promotion 
of war—It is consoling, I Hay* to find that they arc occupying tbeuisclvee instead 
with toe internal interests of t heir own country* and u re desirous to preserve order 
to France by coitsulldattog French liberty and establish ing French freedom. That, 
sir, does honour to these men, whatever may bavo been their prevtousajisocte- 
tiema, or in whatever von rae they have been antecedently embarked. As Ion g as 
England and France act together for the peace of the world* so long will every effort 
they make to that and be adapted 10 sincere and iHUumrabLe purposes. It telinpos- 
3l bio two such notions us France and England should unite ter any purpose Which 
is nut avowed in tho face of all mankind. We propose now one of descrip¬ 
tion ; and 1 trust In heaven that bur proposal may bo auccosstoL 1 [rust Umt 
the efforts of two great nations for the happiness end advantage of mankind 
may, in this instance* be successful. At utl events, our best efforts ahull b<- 
directed to that end ; and, whether we succeed or whether wo fail, I feel pot* 
isuuded that The unanimous judgment of Parliament will think that weave right 
In making the endeavour.” (Cheers.)

by the Foreign Secretary relative to the affairs Of Spain and Portugal* tile 11 01130

_THE COBRA DI 'CAPELLO. 

Tmc subject jjfJtlie present Engraving is probably jhe finest example of this fa- 
moiisIreptUe vlhch,liw:DTei_io*ctied Europe^alJre, It was recently brought to 


this country by a. gentleman In the medical department of the Hon. East India 
Company's Service, and has bean Ted on tlio eggs of birds daring the time it has 
lived \n Me possession. It la now in the Menagerie Of the Zoological Society l in 
the Regent's Park, 



COO HA pi GAFKIiUVAT THE ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY’S GARDEN, RROENTWaRK* 


The danger which accompanies the bite of this reptile, its activity when ex¬ 
cited, the singularity of Its form, and the gracefulness of its action, combine to 
rentier It cm* of the moat remarkable animals of the class to which it belongs. 
When In Its ordinary state of repose, the neck la of the same diameter as the 


head j. but when surprised or irritated, the skin expands laterally, in the hood- 
Hke form which is well known to the Inhabitants of India as the precursor of 
danger. 

Notwithstanding the fatal effects of the bite of this serpent, the Indian Jug-

glere are not deterred rom capturing and taming ft for exhibition, which they 
do with singular adroitness, and with fearful Interest to the un practised observer. 
They carry the reptiles about from house to house In a small round bosket, from 
■which they Issue at the sound of a sort of flute, and execute certain movements 
in cadence with the music. 

There are several varieties Of the Cobra, differing in point of colour ; and the 
aspic of Egypt, famous in the story of Cleopatra, Is said by Cuvier to he a near 
idly of this specks, of which the natural range is, however, strictly confined to 
India. 

The extremely venomons nature of the Cobra compels Its being kept in a 
doubly secured cage, which rather Interferes with the vision of the spectator; 
but we cannot regret a caution on the part of the Directors of the Society which 
prevents the possibility of an accident. In an adjoining cage in the same apart¬ 
ment with the Cobra we observed an immense African Python, or Boo, which Is 
sudd to weigh nearly 70 lb., and which undulated with freedom through the 
branches of a dead tree, and gave a most formidable idea of the power of the 
ophidian structure When adapted for victory by crushing force, a* contra*dli- 
tinguished from the resistless venom of the poison fang, of which the slender 
Cobra, on the other hand, presents as good a type as can be selected. 

We have been favoured by u Correspondent with the following;— 

The deadly;enemy of the Cobra dl Capello Is the Indian Mungouste. We 
have heard descriptions of battles between them from an eye-witness- The ser¬ 
pent raised Itself on It* tail, and, with neck dilated, its heed advanced, and eyes 
Blaring, waited, with every look of rage and fear, the attack of its mortal foe. 
The Mangouaie Stole nearer and nearer, and crept round, endeavouring to get 
an opportunity of springing on the serpent's buck; and, whenever It missed 
it purpose end received a bite, It ran off to some distance in the field* eat some 
mangouste grass, on antidote against the poison of the Cobra, and then returned 
to the battle, tn which It was at length victorious, by leaping on the back of the 
snake and biting it acres! the head. 


GRAND PARADE OF THE CIVIC GUARD, AT BERLIN, 

Tots imposing demonstration took place on the morning of the Sth instant, on 
the Linden, la honour of the Vicar of the Empire. The scene is minutely do 
Scribed by the Tima Correspondent. 

The weather was brilliant, and the spectators included as many of the inhabi¬ 
tant* of the city as could find standing room behind and between the armed 
ranks, from the King's Palace to the Brandeiiburgh gate- Tho Guard began to 
take up their position at 9 o'clock. The Linden contains five mads side by side, 
two paved carriageways, two narrower rood* Tor equestrians, and a wide gra¬ 
velled promenade, sacred to foot passengers alone, in the centre. Thay are di¬ 
vided from each other by rows of lime trees, on English mile In length. When 
these reviews are held, tho two exterior reads on each aide are occupied by tho 
double lines of troops, tho contra promenade Is left to the public, who have also 
the pavement In front of the bouses. When the whole linos were formed, the 
view up and down the Linden was very flue, though It was but Oj rami military 
spectacle. 

The Burgher* have progressed in some respects towards a better military 
equipment than they could boast in April last, since when they have not been 
brought together. In color! ty and precision of movement they have vttll 
much to learn; but when once formed, and with nothing to do except keep the 
step, they get on exceedingly well. Their arms, it should be stated, are in per¬ 
fect order. It is the moral and political influence of this organised body of 
nearly 30,000 of the HUe of the citizens that gives them such weight. It is to 
be hoped that their military capability will never be tested, 

At eleven o'clock a German and Prussian banner, side by side, were carried 
into the open space kept between the hack Of the Paines and the Lust-Gorten; 
it was followed by tho Commandant of the Guard, with hia staff on horseback, 
by the Ministers of State Oh foot, by tho municipality of Berlin, and tire Depu¬ 
ties of tho Chamber. The flags were placed about midway of tho facade of the 
Palace, and the whole of the Civic Guard defiled before them, carrying amts as 
they passed, but no cheers wore given. The battalions then turned Gff from 
the square, and marched to their several district*. The whole proceedings were 
conducted hi a very business-like manner, but animation and enthusiasm ap¬ 
peared wanting. 

The Illustration shews that stage of Die spectacle at which the Civic Guard 
defiled post the German (tricoloured) and the Prussian (black and white) flag* 
in firont of the Palace. _ 


THE MANGOUSTE, OR " EGG-BREAKER," 

This very rare animal, tho Mungoas of Elliott, from India* has Joat boon 
added to the Menagerie of the Zoological Society, In the Regent's Park, and is 
now, we believe, exhibited for tho first time in this country. It la not more re¬ 
markable for Its graceful form and action than for the display of its singular in¬ 
stinct, which lias obtained for it the collateral name of the " Egg-breaker," and 
h happily shown tn our Engraving. The study nf the animal's habits during its 
feeding-rime will also sanctign our belief in the extraordinary stories related of 
the Egyptian variety of the Ichneumon family, with reference to its destroying 
the oggs of crocodiles, as well a* it* capability of contending with the most ve¬ 
nomous serpents ; rendering, tills Illustration ft fit companion for that of 
the Cobra dl Cupello, likewise now in the Zoological Society's Menagerie. 

Mr. Rennet!, In his account of a specimen of Man donate {UtrpasUM prueur). 
kept In Hie Tower, state* that on cue occasion it killed no fewer than a doien 
fall-grown rata, which were loosed to it in a room tti feet square, la less than a 
minute and a half. 

The story of tho rdmeumon mungo, or mmgoh Ttverra mtngo of Gmelin 
having recourse to the plant Bampadctu tanah, or mungo root, as on antidote 
when bitten by serpenta in its encounters with them, is related by Kuempfer* 
who rays that he had one of these animals which slept with him, and followed 
him like a dog through Die city and fields.

MEETING OF THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION, AT SWANSEA. 



SWANSEA AND THE HARBOUR* 


DAGUERREOTYPE* 


{From our oven Repot'ter.) 

WEDNESDAY, 

The first meeting of the general committee took place on Wednesday, the Sfth, 
at one o'clock, et 'which hoar a large number of members had arrived. In the 
evening a very numerous meeting assembled in the Baptist Chapel to hear the 
President's address, which, after a short speech from Sir Robert Hurry Inglis* 
on resigning the chair to the Marquis of Northampton, was delivered. It was In the 
main of the ordinary character of all such speeches: the progress of science was 
sketched out, and the prospects dwelt on with a feeling of much hope ; and the 
natural features of the neighbourhood, and the applications of science to all the 
extensive smelting establishments which surround the town of Swansea, par¬ 
ticularly examined. At the conclusion of the speech by the noble Marquis, a 
short address from Professor Grove, in moving a vote of thanks. In which ha 


was seconded by Sir Henty do la Heclae* closed the evening's i 
excepting an announcement of the number of members who bad joined the 
Association by Professor John Phillips. 

THURSDAY, 

On Thursday morning all the sections were at an early hour tn mil activity, 
excepting (a most unusual occurrence) Section A, devoted to Physical Science: 
In which, owing principally to the non-arrival of its active members, there ap¬ 
peared a falling off. In consequence of this there was an unusually largo at¬ 
tendance In Section E^-Chemlatryi and certainly so many ladles have never at 
any meeting lent their cheering aspects to the dry details of the Hermetic art. 

Tn the Physical Section there was* therefore, no matter of particular Interest 
The following were the communications brought forward. In the first two cases 
the authors had sent their papers, neither Mr. Mallet nor Professor Rowell being 
at the meeting. 


Robert Mallet, Esq,: Notice of Reports on Earthquakes, and the Seismometer 
Professor Pc well: A Catalogue of Luminous Meteors, from September* I a 33* to 
July, UMB; Observations of the Annular Eclipse of Oct. 9, 1847; On a new case 
of Interference or Light; On an Explanation of the 44 Beads *' and * l Threads ** in 
Annular Eclipses. Mansfield Harrison* Esq.: On a Self-Registering Thermo¬ 
meter. with twelve months' tracings of its work. George Roberts* Eaq.: On a 
remarkable Tide In the Bristol Channel, Friday, 7th July, is* a, Rev. Thomas 
Rankin; On the Recurrence of the November Atmospheric Waves at Huggate 
from ! 840 to la *9. 

In the Chemical Section a valuable paper from Dr. Schunck on colouring mat¬ 
ters was read, the principal paint In which w as the discovery that tho colouring 
matter of madder was a peculiar salt, to which the name of alizarin has been 
given. This was followed bynnotleo of the progress of investigations on the 
Influence of carbonic acid on the growth of ferns, by.Mr. Robert HanL The

Misted In the atmosphere during the period of the coal formations. An yet, 
however, no satisfactory results have been obtained. This comniimlcatloTi eli¬ 
cited a verv animated conversation, In which Professor Grove. Dr, Furraduy. and 
many of the sclenttlic men present joined. A notice of a now gilvcinomctor by 
}lr. Ward, and a communication on electricity closed the business Of Thursday 
In the Chemical Section. 

in that usually attractive section, the Geological, the following papers were 
read i— 

Professor .Tames Buekman 1 ; Remark* on the Plants of the Insect Limestone 
Of the Liu Formation; Notice of the Discovery of emm© Soplitceous Remain; In 
the Lins of GlonceMershire, Captain L, L, 0. Ibbebc&n : On the Pori tin n of the 
Chloritlc Mwl, or Phosphate of Ume lied, In the hdc of Wight (this communi¬ 
cation was lllurtrivtod by a very beautiful mode! of the Maud). Evan Hopkins, 
E*q : fin the Polarity- of Cleavage Planes, and their Influence on MetulllfferoUfl 
Deposits, William Price Struve, Esq. ■ On the great Anticlinal from Neiwbridtie 
in the Tuff Valley, to Csfn Bryn In Gower, It wUl, however, Ire seen that no 
matter of any popular Interest was brought forward. 

The same may be said nf the Natural History Section, which was however, 
greatly crowded during the day. The following were the paper* read:— 
j g Jeffreys : On the recent species of Odostotttiu, « pemw of Gatterupt ulntts 
Uoltiwki Inhabiting the seas of Great Britain and Ireland: illustrated by spe¬ 
cimens. Lovell Reeve : On a new species* of Argonaut*, with seme observations 
on the animal of A. Dillwyn, J>r. Lurikester : Report Of Committee 

on the Registration of Periodic Phenomena. John Blucfcwall: Birds observed 
In the yearn 1M7 and 184B. Dr. Thomas WUl lam*: On the Structure and 
Functions of Branchial Organa of the Annelida And Crustacea. Albany 
Hancock j On the Boring of Mollusca, Into Rocks, and On the Rumor*! of Fort Ions 
of their Sheila. Pmfeswr E. Forbes, and Kobert SfcAndrew: On Kamo Marine 
Animill-s. from the Bristol Channel, with Living Specimens. 

In the Mechanical Suction much Interest created by the communication 
ef Mr. Scott Russell on "The recent steps in the improvement of steam naviga¬ 
tion,"' In this pai^r the author entered largely into all the detail* of the *■ wave 
lino" and Its modifications by atiip-biiildery, and also explained the mimoroua 
improvements In marine engines. An animated discussion followed, in which 
sumo of the local engineers joined. 

In the Statistical Section nothing of importance occurred. 

The crow ning labour of the day was the Evening Lecture, by Dr, Percy, on 
the Chemistry of tho Smelting Ifraecsscs of the neighbourhood. It would bo 
Impossible in any report which we could give to do justice to this extensive 
subject. Every stage of the process of copper smelting was most particularly 
described find Illustrated; ail the recent improvements were dwelt on and ex¬ 
plained i and many suggestions thrown oat for tlio still further improvement 
of many parts of thU truly diemlent process In con elusion, Dr. Percy called at¬ 
tention to the immense value of onr borne and colonial mineral treasure, and to 
the importance of wmie national establishment in which a mining education 
might be given. The Marquis of Northampton hoped this suggestion would be 
pressed on Hie attention of the Government, and that the Museum of Practical 
Geology would become a Government School or Minos of the best class. After 
a few words from Dr. Faraday and Sir Henry de la Beebe, and a statement by 
Professor John Phillips that £7flll liftd been received from members and asso¬ 
ciate#, the labours of the first day of the eighteenth meeting closed most agree¬ 
ably. 

\ FRIDAY. 

Among the papers read in the several sections on Friday which attracted most 
Attention, we may name the following j— 

Mr. Stott Bussell, on the Effect on Sound of the Rapid Motion of the Ob¬ 
server. The peculiar phenomena particularly referred tn were the discordant 
jHiumts hoard when travelling on railways; which, according to investigations 
which have been carefully made by Mr. ltus-ell, appear to be owing to an altera¬ 
tion la the note produced, owing to the motion of She observer Interfering with 
the wave of sound, producing what he ©nils a parallax of sound. It has been 
rolculutod. that, however mu-dad tlie sound produced, it would be discordant 
until we arrive at a velocity equal to about 150 miles an hour, When a pure 
mutEcal note would be produced. 

Professor tTucker, of Bonn, brought forward a very important communication 
on Dhircaguetrim, which went to support all Die recent (Uaco varies of Dr* 
Faraday,

Sir Henry do k fiech© gave u lengthy account of the g&olugy of Strath Wales, 
which was ill mu rut f(l by splendid diagram!. 

In the Natural ERtoty Section, and the section of Mechanics, the following 
papers were of the highest interest 5—Professor Often j On the Development and 
timings nf the Teeth in ihe Kangaryrm, jird on the IItmiologLcs and Notation of 
tho * Teeth In Maummira ; on the Eustachian Tubes In the Crocodiles. Dr,

hi the evening, notwithitandme the very unfavourable character of the day, 
a large party nf the toemhers proceeded to Singleton, the beautiful sent of Mr. 
Yyry&n, where they wore received by that gemlenian uud his lady in the most 
handsome manner. Alt V> ugh the weather prevaS cd the prtinionfide anrl umuae-

of the choicest deseription ; and the discharge of iicme rockets by Lieutenant 
Carte, exhibiting his plan of saving shipwrecked seamen, nttracird large parties 
not of doors, which, dispersed Over these beautiful grounds, gsivo a most ani- 
moted ekuonirCter to the scene. 

SATURDAY. 

On Saturday all were awake early, lo join one or other of the several exeiir- 
sEonji which were propored, and every kind of vehicle was In requisition. The 
Geologist* proceeded either by hind or water to the remarkable limestone dis¬ 
tricts of Gower, in which is situated the Druidic Stone^ Those fond of Antiqui ty 
proceeded to Ccrrig Comico, which comm fends tile w hole extent of Siwansea 
Bay. Another and tho largest party proceeded tn the Ystalyfcra Iron-w-orkf, 
win re tlicy were received, by Mr. Budd, who described to them the whole Of the 
process of Iron manufacture, and IjIb own beaut [folly economic application*. 
From thence the party proceeded to Ahcrcrane, and, haring fir^t dined ut the 
Lninb mid Flag, a large party of ]Allies and gentlemen descended the Anthracite 
Mine. Others, less adventhrouR, ascended the limestone hilb, by means of the 
splendid inclined plane Tho sun shone brightly, and u!l was joy in whichever 
direction von <nnt >oar eyefe ; and the page philosopher for the day unbent 
himself, Jiil joluud In the hilarity of well group and scene. 

MONDAY. 

This morning the SecHona resumed their bibonra to bear a paper by Sir David 
Brewster, entitled "An Exnxniuatiou of Berkeley^ Theory of Vision.” Sir 
Hava endeavoured to overthrow the established theory, that tho Idea of distance 
U obtained merely by experience, and that all objects appear to the na educated 
eve aa on the same plane. He men 11 oned mvc rul fac ts, cop nested with hi n ocular 
vision, to shew that there is a llu& of distance Impros&ea naturally on the retina ; 
and all the instatim to the contrary, derived from thu observation Of those Who 
hsd received sight fer the first time, he (Sir David Brewster) considered imuitis- 
factery, inasmuch as the cyu of such persons wore not In a natural state im- 
mediately after having undergone the operation of couching.—Dr. Whcwell de- 
fonder the Iterkoleyan theory of rislon, contending that the facts stated by Sir 
David Brewster had t*eu known before, and that they confirmed, instead of 
overthrow! tig, the theory. .... , 

In the Chemical Section, two pupera by Mr. James Nasmyth were neftd, mi the 
peculiar property of coke, and on the chemical character of steel. The property 
ofcofco indteatttd was thnt noticed by Dr. Faraday in a rcoeut lecture at the 
Royal Inst Rut ion r of approximating to the hardness of dSnmwid, and it* cjubc- 
nucut capability of being applied for the purpose at gla^s cutting. The paper 
oti the clremlcal ebaraemr of steel was rather suggestive of further experiments 
than the result of what had been done. Sir. Chame, the glass m&nnf icturer, of 
litrmindmm. stated th*t. In crniseqnenre of having heard that coke pcttttawd 
the mochanlcol propertied of iliaiarmtl, he hud withdrawn an order for dia¬ 
monds and he hoped tO be able to save £2tK) per amium by substituting coke

Robinson, ef Armagh, being appointed ITesidcni. 

In the evening Dr. Carpenter delivered, in thu place for holding the general

The Increase !n The unmber of members this day waa ver>‘ ronnldorahte. 

Among the. out door attractions were the experimeute Of Lieut. Carte for con¬ 
veying ropes to ships In danger of wreck, 

Oneof the moat inienatfog excursions was that fo P<raJ]crKtjre, the manrion 
of J. D, Llflvrelyn. Esq., about five tnUe# from SweniCo, where tho. visitors were 
most hospitably entertained^ The SL-ientlflc atfractlon was an experiment to de¬ 
termine the uopUeabillty of elec I rid ty as a motive power for vewalx The boat 
ordinarily rated on the lake of the pleasure-grounds was employed on this oeoa. 
sion. In the bow of the beet a gel vmnir battery was placed, whicii, having con- 
u ec ting wires with a tiTimll retort III led with mercaiTr at the stent, enobk-rE thu 
professor whu steered file boat to connect ur disconnect the circuit of ttie fluid as 
he pleaded. Near the centre was n solid cylluder, coustrticfcd of wood, hot 
bound with copper, whlcli revolved on Its axis, and from which electric spark* 
were freely emitted. This cylinder was Iti a state of centin iioiia revalutian ; and 
with thu cylinder a rod was connected, which caused the fans placed at the stem 


of the boat to revolve. The boat Is ordinarily paddled from the atom, with one 

oar \ Its progress Is slow as cnmpnred with that of tho Thames wherries. The 
battery required to work it is a powerful one, and yet tho progress which it 
mpde, In Its excursion round (he lake, wus not swifter than that which it would 
make with ordinary puddling. At present It la a scientific toy; hut it clearly 
establishes the principle that olectridty can bo converted into a motive power 
for The propuklcm of vessels, thereby sari og the apace at present occupied by the 
engines and me?: and its the po^er can be Indefinitely lucreised so as to meet 
the required speed, the sole question Is one of expense. 

In the Geological .Seerion, a paper by Professor E. Forbes, being a "Notice 
of Dt.wurerie* among British Orystictraj." excited much interest, which was iu* 
creased by tho upplicutlon by Dr. Buckland. of those discoveries to disprove the 
statements of the author of " Tho Vestiges of Creation 

In the Statistical Section, an Interesting discussion took place upon the im¬ 
portant subjict of education and its effsets in the diminution of orluie, hi 
which Mr. Vivian, M P„ ilr. M. MBnes, M,P, and a number of other 
geiitleuten took part, Thv chief facta elicited by this discussion were that In 
Priis>la and Germany generally, many Instance* were known <if parties who had

eircnmxtances, such os the regnlarUy uf employment, &e,, hud & material effect 
upon these returns in particular dtitrlctj. Swansea and its neighbourhood was 
remarkable fer regular rmployraent, and for the circumstance that, owing to 
the cheapness of surface land, upwards of one-hdf the labouring population were 
not only their own landlords, btit hud built their own cottage??. This remit Ife 
probably without a parallel k any otticr portion of the British empire. 

THE ILLUSTRATIONS. 

The View of Swansea Is from a Iwautlful Daguerreotype, by the Rov. Calvert 
R, Jones, and shows a portfoa uf tho town, with the liorbour, from Metmt Plea¬ 
sant, 

Swansea i* ihe most important place In the Principality. It is happily situated 
between two hills, on the western Bid* of Iho river Tawy, and has been much 
improved and greatly extended during the last twenty years j but them fs still 
room for improvement, which the South IVaka Railway will, probably, be tho 
means of accomplishing. The bay is very fine, and. boa been compared with that 
of Naples. There ore but few rartiquitfos. There are three churches), and many 
meeting-houses. 

Of the public buildings, u the Royal Institution of South Wales'.” of which wo 
annex u view, l& a noble Hpedmen, It wax enmmoneed In L838; the architect 
being Mr, Long, of Liverpool. The principal front, which Is of Bath stone, ex¬ 
tends ItKJ feet from cast to west. In, thq centre of which Isa prostyle portico of 
four fliltpd Innic columns, which order is continued in onto:. The portico, which 
has a low pediment, la elevated five foct and ,i hulf above the level of the pave* 
mein, which produces a good effect. The building etmrains a theatre, laboratory, 
three museums, eonpciUroom, und library. During the late meeting of the 
Brit Lb Association, the Section B (Chemistry) held their sittings In the theatre of 
the Royal institution. 

The second vteflr Is from aTnlbotype, by tho Rev, Calvert Jones; negatived

were overawed by the presence In the town of large bod Safe of mil Italy, they sig¬ 
nalled the jspSHt winch Animates tho organteatiou by a most auugitinary 
anti cold-blo<Kled on teflon* as the fol lowing details will showA n timber of the 
Confederates assembled In tho evening at their usual meeting-l ousq, tho Cliaries- 
towu Chapel, and r for once hiring evaded the survelilsure of the police, were 
cnabl d to arm themselves with pistols, pikes, uwrnds, feud other weapons, and 
mureh out into tho streets, thug armed, at a little foe fare 13 o T dodc, wlEhout eu- 
couuleiing uny ImmodLute opposition- llicrewere 30 or 40 pikes curried by thcuij 
several carvied drawn swords, umi others gmia and pistols. Soon after leaving the 
inueriug-hoitite they encountered two policetuen, enc of whom, rramvd Jamca 
Bright, wan shot through the heart with u pistol \ und they puraued tho other 
into an udj dning street, but he tfeffied them by ruunirg Into a cottage, th« door 
uf which ho lacked inside, taking care to extinguish the light «$ soon as possible. 
What ilie object of their irntrch was t beyond the asut&tuutitm of the police, doe* 
not very clearly appcaV ; but it would feesm thnt for a Jihorttiiue they entertained 
the insane project of holding tho town against the mill buy, for, nu mrasengcra 
belug seut to I he hu tracks, they encountered this armed forest), and were turned 
b tek—some, 1 ndoctl, being ti reel at. It U stated that the rioters were encountered 
by those messengers la cbnalderublg force, dra-wu up In lines ac ross the road to the 
barracks, but on the military hoing tmumroned It was found that thu rioters had 
moved to Hyde, a town several miles distant. On their wny they committed 
acts of wanton cruelty. A man norned Brad»hAW, who works for tho Mcssra, 
Fowler, potters, was pierced tbrough the thigh wi th a spear- Another man, named 
George Sbowcrosa, was shot through the calf of one leg with slugs* autl they tired* 
bullet through the window of Mr. Asplund, surgeon. Du kJntlold, about two o'clock,

aeat of Mr. Charles Hindi ey, M.P., and dislodged one of the small cannons placed in 
front of It, carry hig It off, hut ititinmtely abandoning It, probably on account of Its 
weight. On arriving at Hyde they entered several factories, and drew the plnjga 
from the boilers, but dispersed without committing other mischief* On Tuetsduy 
morning, within a few hnura after the occurrence, Ihe magistrates Of Ashton as- 
kombled at tho Town Hall; measures were taken at their titiggestion by the po¬ 
lice to apprehend suspected persons, and upwards of twenty worn taken into 
custody. 

At il-iKCUESTEii, all the Coofederutil clubs, on the gnme evening, remained ifi 
deliberation till a late hour; ktu, jm the jhiUco were oti the alert, arid the mili¬ 
tary patrolling the streets at various points, they separated quietly,, without 
interference. On Tuesday fourteen of the Churtists hue! Confederates wera 
arrested; they linvu been remanded for a week by tho magistrates. 

At OiLUtfAM, on Monday, the tmiglstratcs had Intelligence (hat tho Cotifetlc- 
rato duta there imemlcd to organfae ruiti inareh, so as to be at Manchester, 
eight miles distant, ut midnight, where a combined movement was to place the 
chy in their bands. Their principal dub-room was vlosdy watchtra, und about 
one o'clock on Tuesday morning upwards of fifty armed men left it, but pro¬ 
ceeded nut Of town, and .were not molested by tho police. 

At ftiitMiNaudM In the beginning of the week nil was tranquil, and through ■ 
out the district, but circumstances trad disclosed themselves to the police which 
lea little doubt of tho fact that arming tc some extent had been carried on 
Eiuumgst the disaffected Chartists who have recently held meetings lu the town. 
During the whole of Monday night, Mr. Stephens* the Chief Superintendent of 
Police, and u number of his subordlnates* were tm the alert, font nothing trans¬ 
pired, The civil and military force which lias for aomo tiino been In readin&ia

CONSTRUCTING A PONTOON BRIDGE. 



“Co&sc firing *■ was sounded, and the garrison retired to the reverse of the first 
parallel. There were two sets of ladders. Those first placed on the counter¬ 
scarp were removed across to the scarp, and replaced on the counterscarp by 
another set* which remained there. As soon as the storming parties were formed 
in the ditch, mid placed their Udders against the scarp, the skirmish era ceacod 
firing, and closed to the ladders, descended the ditch* and formed the rear of 
the assaulting party. The left column formed on the rttnipnrtu, In column, of 1 
distance, facing the inner line, and H formed square” to resist cavalry. The 
Royal Artillery, who were the first to mount the laddern, detached a party to man 
the captured guns, and removed them into the besiegers' batteries* previously 
firing on the cavalry and the retreating infantry. The garrison retired, dispa ting 
every Inch of the ground, and supported by a fire of artillery from Prince Fredc- 
rick's and the Duke of Cumberland's bastions. Those operations are shown Lfl the 
second Engraving. 

The detflt la of the remainder of the first scries, want of space compels tis to omit. 

In the second series of the operations* the defence of the Inner line wa* con¬ 
ducted by the former assailants, nnd the attack of the inner line by the former 
defenders. 

A steady firs of artillery and musketry was kept up on both tides i under this 
fir* the redoubt was taken by escalade and evacuated by the defenders. 

Previous ly to evacuating, lighted port-fires had been placed in connexion 
with chaises under the redoubt; and by powder the stockade was thrown down 
so as to open the gorge, The besiegers were withdrawn from the redoubt, to 
avoid accidents from the explosions of the charges fired by the garrison in their 
retreat. A breach was then made In the Duke of Cumberland's Bastion, which 
was entered by the assailants simultaneously with an escalade of the right lace 
of the terrace bastion. 

Colonel Sir Frederick Smith, KJL, Royal Engineers, had the general directtoti 
of the attacking and defending forces. 

In the general arrangement* of the various operations, Colonel Sir Frederick 
Smith, E.H.* Royal Engineers, wait assisted by Captain C. Finish* we, Royal En ¬ 
gineers. the staff officer of the Royal Engineer establishment, Lieutenant Lane 
Fox, of the Grenadier Guards, and Lieutenant and Adjutant A. C. Gieig, of the 
Royal Artillery, who acted as stair officers Jn the attack. 


artillery operations i and the general arrangements for the attacks and de¬ 
fences were made by Colonel Sir Frederick Smith, E.IJ., Director of the Royal 
Engineer establishment. 

In the first series of operations, the works of defence were lined with troops 
from the casemates to St. Mary's Creek, artillery being placed in the flanks and 
In the right branch ofSL Vary's Homwork. A squadron of cavalry, and de¬ 
tachments of the Royal and East India Company's Sappers and Miners, of the 
Royal Marine Artillery, and of the Royal Marines, constituted the garrison. 
The assaulting party consisted of three columns. The right column was covered 
by nkinntshem, and preceded by an infantry pontoon bridge, carried by 100 
men of the provisional battalion. This bridge extended across St. Mary's Creek. 
ThU portion of the operations Is shown in the first of the annexed Engravings. 
The officer of Royal Engineers in command of the right column sent forward 
two parties of Sapper* and Miner*, each under an officer, lo breach the stockade 
that closes the passage round the left of St. Mmy's, and likewise to form a 
breach in the enclosure wail of the Fire Burns. The garrison occupied the Fire 
Rams, and only Quitted them when they observed that powder was lodged at 
the foot or the enclosure wall, for the purpose of breaching it. The expiation to 
form these breaches was the signal for the advance of tire right column across 
the creek. Tide column attacked and occupied the Eire-Rare5. and the Sappers 
and Miners there provided themselves with tools and gabions. A squadron of 
Sappers sallied from the lines to take the assaulting left column in flank, and 
after harassing the Infantry they retired within the works, and again debouched 
for a similar attack from behind tile casemates. They finally withdrew to the 
inner line. As soon as the first parallel was occupied by the other two co¬ 
lumns, the Sappers and Miners debouched from the Fire-Barns, and proceeded 
along the approaches to the third parallel. Simultaneously with the crossing of 
the creek by the right column, the centre and left columns advanced to the es¬ 
calade of the outer lines* covered by their skirmishers j but they did not open 
their fire until they arrived at the counterscarp, when a brisk musketry fire 
was opened on the gunners and Infimtry lining the parapet*. The skirmisher a 
fried kneeling- When the assailants reached Urn fence on the glads* the garrison 
opened a steady fire of artillery and a rolling fire of musketry, which they con¬ 
tinued until the ladders: of the besiegers were placed against tbs scarp, when the 


Ok Friday, a series of very extensive Siege Operations took place on the practice 
ground, in front of St. Mary's Barracks, at Chatham. They Included Pontoon 
Exercise, Fscalading, Mining and Countermining, Attacks on Stockade*. At¬ 
tacks and Defences ofOutpo&ta, &c.; and the spectacle su witnessed by many 
thousands of spectators. 

The operations were to be performed in, the presence of the Court of Directors 
of the East India Company. At a little botore one o'clock ■ conalderuble number 
or those gentlemen arrived, and proceeded to the quarters of Sir Frederick 
Smith, at Brampton* to partake of a collation. Among the directors were Ma¬ 
jor-General Sir Janies Law Lushlngton, Major-General Galloway, C.B, 

Major-General Cauldfield, C.R*, Major Oliphant* the Hon. Leslie Melville, Mr. 
Frauds Warden, Ac., and in addition to these wo noticed Sir John Burgoyne, 
and other distinguished naval and military officers. 

It was intended that the operations should hare commenced at one o'clock 
p.m. So enormous* however, was the crowd of spectators, and so densely had 
they spread themselves, over the whole of the works, In the absence of a suffi¬ 
cient body Of men to keep the ground, that ft took Sir Frederick Smith nearly 
two bourn to clear the lines and inner works before It was reaUy safe to begin, 
A little before three, howerar* the attacking party baring taken its station, the 
mimic siege commenced. 

The ordinary works of a siege on a small scale having been carried on during 
the present summer for the practice of the officers, non-commissioned officers, 
and men of the Royal and East India Company's Engineers and Sappers and 
Miners, on the space between the left of Chatham Lines and the old Homwork. 
which Is bounded a: one extremity by the Terrace Ration, and at the other by 
Prince Frederick's Bastion, It was proposed to consider the trenches as having 
been brought to their present state by a besieging army and then abandoned and 
the siege raised Lu consequence of the arrival of & superior force of the enemy. 

The attack was now, as It ware, renewed by the following operations:—lot, 
tits storming of the outer Hue; and, Endly, the re-occupation of the trenches, so 
u to admit of the more advanced works of the siege being pushed on by mixi¬ 
ng, and tbs formation of lodgment* by the sappers.

Medway dUtrlct, co-op*rating in the amagemente far the day, directed the

Pitiless theorists, or crock-brain'd fools, 

Or youth inis^uulvd in a high intent, 

Who would reform the world with fi re and sword. 
And realise Utopia hnid the smoke 
Of murderous cannon—do ye ponder here, 

In dungeons vile* the miseries ye have wrought ? 

If fair day's wages for a fair day ’s toil, 

And reconstruction of your social lot., 

Were all you wish’d for in the desperate strife. 
Learn, in this evil day, that uifilttess end 
Can never consecrate the guilty means. 

That, tho’ 'tie noble to reform the world,

Yet reformation never springs from blood. 

That, tho 1 'tis wise to wish t he good of mail, 

Yet men must make their hanpmess themselves. 
That, tho 1 Tis noble to indulge great hopes, 

Yet it is wretched* criminal, and mad 
To place such hopes upon the chance of war j 
Ami think to gather crops of happiness 
From seeds of murder, hate* and civil strife* 

Reform the world \ aye, fertilise the raoon, 

Or make a railway to tfie Pleiades 1

Their mighty roots lie in the foregone depths 


Of dim Eternity; and we that seem

And all Will follow that the good desire*

THE PEACE OF EUROPE. 

In his answer to Mr, Disraeli's attack upon his foreign policy, 
[Lord Palmerston dwelt with much force and justice upon the 
gratifying fact, that pacific ideas are greatly more prevalent in 
Europe than they were at the epoch of the first French Revolution; 
and that events of as great or even greater magnitude than those 
which then convulsed all the civilised nations of the world, take 
place in our day without leading to such a sanguinary catastrophe 
os an European war. The foremost men of this day arc proud to 
believe that it is not merely the large burden of debt which binds 
all European nations under heavy penalties, to keep the peace 
towards each other, but the greater dissemination of Knowledge 
and Religion, and of all the arts of peace and civilisation which 
has distinguished the last thirty years above all previous epochs of 
modern history, which we have to thank for this happy result* 
War, though apparently the readiest and easiest mode of recon¬ 
ciling national differences, has never been the object of the praise 
of great statesmen, * Even soldiers themselves, in the calmness of 
reflection, have condemned their own calling; and while acknow¬ 


ledging the evil, have merely insisted upon the unhappy necessity 
of appealing to the sword* Both soldiers and statesmen have 
agreed in calling it a necessity to be submitted to in sorrow, not 
to be resorted to in exultation. 

We all remember the beautiful saying of the greatest soldier of 
modem times to a lady who shared unduly the foolish 'admiration 
of too many of her sex for military bravery, unallicd with other 
virtues, "What a splendid thing” said she to the Duke of 
Wellington, “a victory must be!’* “ Splendidreplied the con¬ 
queror j " / know of nothing more dreadful—except a defeat" Even 
Napoleon, inspired only by desire of self-aggrandisement, and bo 
far, immeasureably inferior to the man who saved Europe from the 
protracted career of such mad ambition, acknowledged the wicked¬ 
ness of war. In feet, all men agree that war is a mighty evil; and 
even in the rudest and most ignorant of ages it finds no defenders, 
except on the plea of uncontrollable necessity. Men deplore the 
fatality which forces them to employ it; and, if closely questioned, 
admit that, while a possibility of successful negotiation exists, it is 
wrong to have recourse to the sword and the cannon. It lias been 


hitherto the curse of the world to admit this necessity too easily. 
When patience, charily, and mutual forbearance are the instru¬ 
ments required to unloose the Gordian knot of international diffi¬ 
culty, nothing, to the great majority of mankind, has seemed so 
facile as the sword to bring the difficulty to a solution. But the 
stupendous coat of former wars, the worthlessness of all the 
triumphs that have been gained by them, the iusability of all treaties 
and agreements of which victory and not justice has dictated tho 
terms, as well as the education of the people of Europe in the in* 
dustrioufl and wealth-producing arts, and the increase, let us hope, 
of Christianity contemporaneously with merely secular knowledge, 
have ail combined to make the present generation more peaceful 
than its predecessors, and to justify the hope so well expressed by 
liOrd Palmerston, that the present difficulties of Europe may run 
their course without a general conflagration; and that the nations 
may make a new settlement of their relations towards each other, 
without recourse to the ultima ratio infelicissima, to which both 
kings and people have in former ages been much too prone for the 
happiness of either. In these circumstances every tribute to

tho beamy, rffceirahleneea* and wisdom of peace* that comes from 
a man wlio has it in his power to make war, is an advantage 
to humanity. In like manner every sentiment that falls from 
the mouth of one nho is looked upon im an uvsiructor of the 
nations, end ever}" syllable that proceeds Frotn the pens of those 
who spoilt with power and authority, ami in a manmr to sway 
the opinion* or others, which exaW the war principle or widen 
foments intcmati'.nal jealousies and hatred, is a public evil. But 
whilst puttied to see that a journal which calls its* if, and t s 
called by • tfrera, the principal journal of Europe, should assert 
so mischievous and so false u er stem cut as it did the other day, 
that every man, wom^n, and child in France has been* and is, edu¬ 
cated in, and shares a feeling of, hostility to E gland, we arc all 
the more y ratified wb. n men in the position rf Lord Palmerston 
give utterance t * the nobler sentiment, that both 'bo duty ami the 
interest of these two great nations arc concentrate d in Pu*cn. 

Unfontmatcly for themselves, the French are a military people. 
Their tastes arc military; their traditions are military ; and their 
aspirations, to some extent, arc military also. Pur, the fact being 
so, it becomes ah the more necessary to show them that, while we 
have no ancient grudges to feed against them, their interest* still 
more than ours, is identified with the cause of Peace, The present 
bead of the French Republic is a successful soldier. What he is, war 
has made him. But, like the Duke of Wellington, he does not admire 
hiB own art, or insist upon a recourse to it, as the sole salvation 
of the nations. The pacific speech of Lord Palmerston has been 
pacifically aud nobly responded to by General Cavaignac. Words 
of peace were unexpected from his lips, and are all the more grate¬ 
ful. There is abundant reason to believe that they will produce 
good fruit all over Europe, There was danger to the world in 
the high position to which events had cast this distinguished man. 
It was to be feared that he would he ambitious of playing the part 
of a new Napoleon, in its later as well as in its earlier scenes j 
and that, with an overflowing, warlike, excitable, dangerous, and 
starving population incommoding him in Purls, he would not have 
bod that salutary horror of warfare which might have saved his 
country from still greater difficulties and perils in the days to come. 
These natural fears have been greatly allayed* if not entirely re¬ 
moved, by the speech which the Republican General delivered 
on Monday last in reference to the affairs of Italy. Lit 
avowed in [lie boldest and frankest manner his determinate n to 
avoid war, if by any possibility consistent with honour it could be 
avoided ; expressing his belief that the continuance of peace was 
absolutely essential for the well-being of France, as well a* for that 
of all other European nariona. ‘‘In certain situations” said he, 
emphatically, " it required more real courage to maintain peace 
than to urge a country into war ; rt and the vehement applause with 
which the sentence was received by the Assembly, showed u full 
appreciation on its part, both of the difficulties to be surmounted 
by the rresent chief of the Republic, and the public spirit which 
he manifested in doing his duty in spite of them. The General 
expressed himself as strongly in favour of the English alliance as 
the wannest friends of European peace could desire j and spoke 
of war with the detestation of a p&Uusepher and a statesman—not 
with the approbation f a soldier. 

We trust that the Peace Convention which is to be held in Paris 
in the middle of September will worthily and manfully labour in 
this good cause ; and that, if it do no more, it will convince many 
Frenchmen who may be yet unconvinced, that in this country ail 
jealousy of France has long since expired i and that the best and 
wisest men on oar side of the Channel desire nothing so much m 
the peace, happiness, and prosperity of France— for her sake and 
that, of civilization all over the world, as well as for our own.

FOREIGN AND COLONIAL NEWS. 

FRANCE. 

The new»’ from Faria this week to not of any particular Interest There was 
some commotion In the neighbourhood of the National Assembly on Saturday 
nftornooti, at about five o‘c lock, when all tie avenues leading to the As&cmbly 
were occupied with troupe, and an Imposing force nf cavalry was drawn up on 
the qnay and on the Place do la Concordo_ All passenpra were allowed io pro¬ 
ceed. hm they were compelled to rnuve on.“ A M-tilwr proceeding took place 
on the Qutii d tlrsay, uud in the 14 Place” In front of Iha Chamber Thaw pre- 
catitloMary mea'ures w'erc taken In consequence of tlie runumrod approach of 
u large mass of the w ives and duugliters of the Imprisoned Insurgents with r 
petition to the Assembly for an amnesty. 

The rumour proved correct; hut the detnenstration was not allowed to pro 
coed beyond the line de Rlvon t where it wa* stop ed by the advanced posts. 
Thu petition wo> inrwurded thence to the Assembly. 

The sensation produced by the evidence glv< n before tho Committee Of ln- 
ntiiry was very great. There was a feeling oi sHthfnclinn nt the avowal of M. 
ITudhon that the insurrection hail been 5<mJaitot, and not tle>pub lean. The 
question of advanced or ultra, or icd nr puru Itepubllcautom, wmi pul at red by 
it. It wa* frit that it was not ** the Republicin any with wdiich the 

National Gnardn. and the Mobiles, and the army luwl combated so successfully, 
nr with which they might bu again called upon to contend; but that It was with 
Socluii#!*), aud Socialism which meant maasacre, devastation, anil universal 
pillage. 

The extent of the Influence and ramifications of that villainous association in

apondenco with the English CharUKta* and that the affiliated are pledged to sup¬ 
port each other. 

In Porto* at least, there was. however, for the present no danger of their got* 
ting the upper hand; and if General Cavalgnac be elected President it to felt 
that it will he long before they or disturbers cf any kind will have the power to 
do extensive mischief.

Ambassador is flipped, and Lord Cowley h&s rented a bouse. In short, there hi 
every prospect of a brilliant seawn. 

A very large portion of Ihe Assembly* and all the Germans who sympathise 
with the late movement, are fall of the Idea that the English press not only de¬ 
preciated tbelr deities, but It absolutely adverse to their tuuM, and jealous of the 
incipient nutty of Germany. 

^ PRUSSIA* 

From the Berlin newspaper* received thi& week it would appear that “ the 
pure Prussian blumT* is trot only averse to 14 Rnuurta resolving itself into Ger- 
nmny," but t ■ the admission of the Non-Prussians of tho Rhine provinces to mi¬ 
ni EnlsLratlvtt offices in Prun.-dii Itself. On tills heat! It In remarked In the BVr- 
lintxrftt $$chri‘httn :—" Loud com plaints are made because the Hlnlitors of Fi¬ 
nance and tlie (mentor have brought officials from the Rhine, ami given them 
apputntincuts hem. Were the report true, we could not blafira Mlnferera for

quires an additional force. Nothing more natural In such dreumsiaiice than 
for Miniature to employ officers wha&e ability anil political >*n undue are expert-

There is no news of any interest.

walked daily without attendants In ilia garden at SchSii brann t plainly dressed, 
and wearing a black, red, and gold ribbon over the shoulder and across the

The probability of minIsterUI changes was publicly spoken of. The Repub¬

the populace gare encouragement to those attempts. The editors of three Re¬ 
publican and anarchical Journals bad been arrested, hut hud been ultimately set

HUNGARY. 

A cording to the accounts received, eitl if retail, the Hungarian quest! rt is 
being hurried to a quick and bloody decision. All the Croatian regular regi¬

Tbs Bunn of Croariu, Harem JeJltrifek, held on the llth a review ever ilns 1 jdj>

This speech olid ted enthusiastic cheers, for the Croatian* and borderers dote 
on war and booty. The Bunn's united for cm are said to amount to 80,000 or

Ottoman Porto la admitted, wkh the reservation of an independent Internal ad¬

From Moravia wo learn that there wore in the environs of that chy on the 
2Gth August 6000 well-disciplined urhbh troops (Infantry and cavalryt. Thtno 
bnops are commanded by Riffimt Pacha. The Baron do Richthofen, Consul- 
General of Prussia, and the Comm l of France, have protested* 

DENMARK AND SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. 

An armistice h atilt spoken of ; so much so that some of If* principal part- 
K™phs are now going the circuit of the Genua press. They are

The Grand Duke of Mecklenburg passed through FI en* burg cm the 17th Inst., 
on hi* way to the Mecklenburg troops, which are stationed with the outposts of 
the German army in Schleswig, 

A wish has teen expressed by tile Danes that the Schleswig-Holstein DTet 
slicmltj adjourn to the titili of September a step to which that body were already 
previously advised by the Imperial Cabinet. On the question being put lo the 
piBt, they voted the adjournment against a minority of twelve. The Federal 
forces in the duchies continue still to Increase, in spite of all rumount of an ar- 
tnlBtlce. They amount at present to forty thousand men. The Danes, t<w, are 
en the olftrt; and the r rcs*eb have had some smart cannonading with the bat-

Saturday last, they adopted Hiicceurively the second project concerning the 
Sow reign atnl the case in which the throne should become vacant, and the 
third project, which decrees ■ Irect elect)ms Instead of the system of indirect 
elections hitherto in vogue In the Netherlands. This hi ter measure mat with 
an energetic opposition on the part of several members, who Invoked tlia ex- 
amples of the focts which hare happened In France during the lost general elec¬

The overland mail brought, on the Blot of August, at the Hague, deplorable 
news concerning the expedition organised by the Dutch Government against 
Bally. After having operated their landing with success and having taken 
|ios«saIon of a fortress, the stronghold of tue pirates, the Dutch troops were 
obliged to retreat before! lie superior forces of the enemy. The Dutch lost U 
offiuere and lfl3 European soli Hers.

UNITED STATES* 

Accounts from New York to ihe Sth lust, have reached us this week* Cnn-

A propcsitlcm was before the Senate for the purchase by the United State* of 
the territorial rights, privileges, and Immunities of the Hudson's Bay Company 
and the Puget's Sound Company. The proposition wns stared to be mada by 
the State Department, and to bo rccomineaJed to Congress by the Adminis¬ 
tration. 

I ha preposition is, to cede to the United States a tract of territory larger than 
the stare of New Turk, mid for a comparatively trifling cons)deration. The im¬ 
portance of the cession cannot be doubted. It would include the country and 
the military pests un the northern banks of th# Columbia river, and, jtays the 
Journal of Cemmrrtw, ■♦for ever prevent any coillslou between the Culled State* 
and England in regard to point# which are uruetded by tho Ashburton and 
\\ cluster treaty/' This of course muai refer to the Oregon, not to tho Aabburton 
treaty. 

At New York on the 7th Inst., a meeting was hold to ratify the union be¬

On the ITth there was a sufficient number of senator* of Congress in the Cs-

Tho ffraif WV/fern steam ship, arrived this week, baa brought the usual West

Uie debate In the House of Commons on colonial affidrs, to take out which the 
Thamt* was delayed four days at Southampton in June last, and judging from 
the tone of Dm Jlinffica papers, the measures of Lord John Rus.iell appear to 
have been conaidered unsatfefactciry to their nature, and to tally imidetiuato to 
relieve the extent of dtatresd existing. Notwliiistandtog the hostltoy of the

advanced considerably in price* and was sell tog briskly at 17*. to 21 ^ per

per ldfiib. 

The weather had been tins at Jamaica, and favourable for the crops. On the 
5th uit a very severe shock of an earthquake, accompanied by an awful rum¬ 
bling noise, was felt at Kingston* The ohock waa likewise felt at St, Andrew’s 
and at Spunfeh-town, 

No disturbances had taken placo amongst tho block population in any port of 
the island. Rumours wore In circulation that a movement of the negroes was 
contemplated on the 1st of August, hut they wore not generally credited, as thev 
were supposed tube made current to servo, party purposes.

G norah The chief of the town, who was Implicated in tho revolt, bad fled. 
This ia. doubtless, th& occurrence tiiat has been tnagntfied by the American pa¬

TRUKLES. 

Wkii it not tho crowds of country-people who come Into the town to chapd, 
to market, hud to hear the news, and the BO]diem who HU the shops where 
whisky and porter, potatoes, eggs* salt, calico, linen, black-paddings, buttons, 
thread, and meal are sold, and the officers and "heaps" of gentlemen who 
pnaxie the waiters and one another at the head hotel by rinsing all the bolls 
at once, oa already told- there would be no sign of Insurrection. In Thnrles. 
There to the fulness of the street* with country people, curious to ascertain 
what the military are doing ; there ora the detective police, curious to find out 
the bu&Lness which brings any now-comer to Thnrles, and who take round-about 
ways to satisfy their curiosity. There la the same philosophic amusement for 
those who are not otherwise toe busy, of watching and studying the detectives. 
A visit to the Catholic chapel, where hundreds of the country people—the men 
In their dark blue or brown overcoat, with capes behind; the women in their 
blue hooded cloaks: all of them In good condition as to clothes \ hardly a 
ragged coat, or cloak, or stocking to bo seen—a visit to the chapel, where some 
bun cl rod* are always, In the early part of the day, on thdr knees, to about all 
which the weather permits ns to do (see Engraving); or we may fallow some of 
them to the Courthouse to hear their implications for a license to keep fire- 
anna, and listen to the discussion an to their being or not being believed to bo 
loyal subjects. Or wo may Unger under cover of the half-built rail way station, 
and bob the half-filled railway trains pass from Dublin to Limerick down* and from 
Limerick to Dublin up—three of them per day each way ; and though the rail¬ 
way, by Its easy gradients through a hundred miles of level country, With no 
tunnels, or viaduct*, or deep cuttings, finch an we see on almost every line in 
England, must havo been cheaply constructed, wo cannot help a mental calcu¬ 
lation is to the small traffic and a small dividend- 
But those are not mb]eats for a special reporter. The question of queatlomi Is, 
not what are the detectives doing to arrest the remainder of the insurgent 


plngor, a poor-law guardian, over a large tract of country, near Mosher* moun¬ 
tain ; but he says it would be difficult to make anything* of the poor creatur&a 
whom he mot swarming there. “But, strange to say,'" he adds, " some largo 
farmers and gentry told me that It was now Impossible;to get farming labourer* 
to work either by task or day upon the land, to completely are they demoralized 
and upset by the now system of labour that haa been introduced among them (by 
toe relief works). Instead of working at their own lands at home, or 
hiring themselves out as dally tobou rent, worthy of their hire, they now prefer 
working on the roads, like convicts in a penal colony: and I find groups of 
them in all parts of tho county breaking stones for one pound of meal a day, 
hardly enough to support them, and their farms lying Idle and neglected. If 
half the labour that fa now spent on breakiu: stones could find its way back 
Into the fields, and be employed in digging and deepening them, the country 
would soon feel the bene fir of H, and the labouring population gradually come 
hack to habile of industry and labour. As it Is, tho present system, if perse¬ 
vered in, mu*t end hi certain min.'* 

To this I would add, by way of suggestion, that if one pound of meM per 
day keeps tbeto people upon the roads to break stones* a higher rate of wacen 
than Is usually offered to them by those who hire labour In that district might 
draw thorn from tho roads and the pound of meal. It wilt hardly be credited 
that the "large fanners and gentry” spoken of by Mr. Hindu offer labourers 
threepence and fourpdiCO per day, without other allowance. The facta are simply 
those. Tho poor-law allowance Is the very least which medical experience 
orders for the bare sustenance of lift. Those who seek to hire labour 
offer less than the poor-law allowance, and toe necessities of tho 
wretched creatures decide in favour of tha poor-low and the roads. 
The lowest-priced labour, like other low-priced commodities, la not always the 
cheapest. One of the moat eminent political economists in England, Mr. Morton, 
of Whitofleld, Gloucestershire, found thAt he could get any number of men to 
work for him for nine shillings a week on going to that farm. He preferred to

Mr Hinds found that the gentry did not attend his meetings, hor five him 
much of rheiv rouatonance at Murroain. He ■ later mined. therefore, to |<o among

more Is the ntty, for nil along the valley of the Loo the country U beautiful, tlio

loftrttction and co-operation from their superiors of wealth and resettrees." 

It is satisfactory to know, however, that the gentry become more favourable 
to lb* Industrial mltodoo on the ecojmju advanced. 



OOtUG FOR a UUENCE TO KEEP FIRE-ARSI3* 

Jfr. Matthew Gruce, who was rent as Instructor to the Dingle district In Kerry, 
says the Rev. Owen McCarthy* parish priest of But I yhdgne, 4 offered every a*- 
Blsrunee In his power to bring me In contact with the poor wretched inhabitants. 
Ho hopes to be able lo gat them flame seeds, and that 1 will be able to instruct

LONDON, $A1 URBAN, AUGUST 26, IH48. 

An hitereating d^ctiBaion upon the Slave Trade arose in the 
Huitae of Lords on Tuesday night on the motion of Lord Denman 
tor an address to the Cfo jv n praying her Majesty to give direetionii 
tor the eufureemeiit of all treaties with foreign powers for the ex- 
tin ction of the Slave Trade on the coast of Africa, and for the 
prosecution of all British subjects directly or indirectly concerned 
in violating the laws against that crime, and that her Majesty 


would be pleased to take into her serious consideration the expe¬ 
diency of concerting measures with her allies for declaring Slave 
Trade piracy, The noble and learned Lord supported his motion 
by combating the doctrine which has lately gained considerable 
ground in this country, that the demand for slaves was so great, 
that slave ships, tempted liy the enormous profit, would curry on 
the trade in spite of the utmost vigilance of our craisrrs, and that 
our attempts to suppress the trade by these means only wired to 
augment the horrors of the middle passage, and to increase the 
sacrifice of human life. 

Lord Lansdowne objected somewhat to the terms, but scarcely 
to the spirit of the motion, which he opposed on the ground that 
it implied a remissness on the part of the Government in carrying 
out existing treaties, and because it seemed to prejudge the report 
of the Committee of the House of Commons. Hi& Lordship was 
as eloquent as Lord Denman in condemnation of the traffic, and 
especially of the Englishmen who, in defiance of the law's of their 
country, had engaged themselves in it; but while he expressed his 
honor of the trade, and bis hope that no available means would be 
leL unemployed by Great Britain to put an end to it, he thought 
it better that their Lordships should await the report of the House 
of Commons, before deciding on the future policy of this country 
with reference to the subject . 

Lord Brougham woe as strenuous as Lord Demuan in refuting 
the allegation that the effect of our blockade of the African coast 
was to increase the horrors of the trade, and urged the expediency 
of an immediate and searching inquiry Into what was called the 
M Const Trade,” which consisted in what was called shipping 
" coast goods 11 to Africa, for sale to the purchasers of slaves, with 
the view of ascertaining whether it did not amount to an encourage¬ 
ment of, if not actual participation in, the Slave Trade. 

Lord Denman’s motion was negatived without a division - t and 
this interesting, but most difficult subject, upon which in the mean¬ 
time w© refrain from passing an opinion, will therefore sleep until 
next session of Parliament* 


Pending the negotiations of the Governments of Great Britain 
and France with that of Austria, for the settlement of the aff airs 
of Lombardy and Venice, the Venetians have taken matters into 
their own hands, and once again proclaimed their independence 
of Austria* Whatever may be the ultimate views of Austria— 
that is to say, of its present rulers— with regard to its troublesome, 
expensive, unsatisfactory, and uiifa f e domi don over Lombardy, 
it seems to be conceded on all hands that the possession of Venetia, 
and an Italian sea-board, will be stoutly insisted on by Austria^ 
and as stoutly related by Italy, 

As soon as the capitulation of Milan was known in Venice, the 
people assembled, forced the Koyal Commissioners to resign, ottco 
more proclaimed the Republic, and appointed Daniel Mnnin its 
President or Did at or. The latter immediately chose a Ministry, 
issued a proclamation, and took vigorous measures of defence* 
This Venetian business, therefore, threatens—if the Venetians are 
strong enough to hold their own, or if they are supported with ihe 
expected enthusiasm by the Italians generally—to Wome a serious 
if riot insurmountable obstacle to the establishment of any treaty 
with Austria for the independence of Lombardy* 

The Neapolitan squadron for the invasion of 6idly has, it is re¬ 
ported, returned to Naples without striking a blow ; and the 
Sicilian question remains in siatu quo.

when called on. The Court then ordered them to be discharged on each o f them 
giving two securities in £\d each, and themselves £50, to appear again when 
called upon, 

SESTfctfce on MABtttt.—Whan the jury had been discharged on Saturday 
evening, Mr, Martin, of the /-wA Felon was called up to receive sentences. 
Having had perm talon from the bench, he addressed some remarks to the 
Court, at tho conclusion of which the Chief Baron passed sentence of ten years* 
transportation upon him. 

Mr, Martin's brother, after a salutary lecture, wan sentenced to one month's 
Imprisonment In Newgate for having'entered the shop of the foreman nf the 
Jury who convicted his brother, immediately after the trial, and challenged him 
to a duel, Hto ready and deep apology enabled the court to deal with him so 
lightly. 

PosT?oinMEitT OF fHE Tbiai* of Mu. WiLLi*H 9 .—On the application or the 
Attorney-General, the trial of Mr, Williams, the second proprietor of the Tritmm, 
again stwhom bills had been found for felony, was postponed until nert commis¬ 
sion, The court then adjourned until the 21st of October. 

A apodal commission will issue, Immediately that the Crown arrangements are 
concluded, for the trial of tha political prisoners, to sit either at Clonmel or 
Nenagh, more probably at the former town. ifr. Smith O’Brien and Mr. 
Meagher, with Mr. Duffy, will take tbdr trials in the first degree, and the other 
prisoners will bo afterward* dl-posed of. 

A writ of error in Mr. Magda's case lias been submitted to the Attorney-Ge¬ 
neral, 

Treasonable DacuMBH-rfl.-The folly of Smith O'Brien was never more 
apparent Ukao in his retention. In a careless manner, of treason Able documents, 
deeply implicit in r many persons in hia insurrectionary designs. A large por¬ 
tion of this correspondence was kept in a travelling-bug which he left at Cashel * 
and when arrowed, O'Brien. In the bridewell of Thurira, wrote a leifor to his 
correspondent at Caabel, auggo ting that the correspondence In qu cation should 
be dustfoged. Of course* the letter fell I nto t he ban da of the imthori ties, and the 
disclosures thus arrived at are most important. On Mr O'Brien's pcruoti was 
also found a lei ter from Charles Gavan Duffy, of the Nation, rtfcthre to Insur¬ 
rectionary measures, ami in whtit quarters assistance could he looked for ; and. 
in consequence of this, the trial of Mr. Puffy for felony will not be proceeded 
with, hut be will be prosecuted for high treason. Rumour say* that many of 
the letters found In Smith O'&rtento portmanteau, and promising him cnnnte- 
nance and help from various Influential priests and laymen, Are f rgerta* That 
such letters exist there is uo doubt, but the denial of ibstr authenticity may be 
made for a purpose. 

Aai ests-—F our young men In the haberdashery warehouse of Messrs, Can¬ 
nock and white were arrested on Saturday, under warrants from the Privy 
Connell, They were taken at once to the Lower Castle-yard* and thence to 
Newgate. They were pramInem members of the late dub?;, especially of that 
known as ** Tho Herrin)tile A^stomm*'," The name* of three of them are 
Mulhare. Lombard, nnd Jd'Kenzfe. Mr, M'KooeIb Is a Scotch to an. who bus 
been in Ireland some yearn, lie Is* it Is said, a relative of a celebrated Canadian 
leader of the Mine name, and of a well-known gentleman in Glasgow. Mr. 
Taaffe, a young gentleman for whose arrest r warrant had been Issued for some 
time* was taken in Tipperary on Friday night week. Mr, Shea Lalnr is said to 
have been placed in arrest. If so, we shall have another removal from the 
magistracy. 

Removal or Stautj Faiwinv.—Th« unmber of arrest* which have been 
recently reported, would prepare tut for learning that the prison of Newgate, ei 
also that of Kilmalnham, are In a very crowded state. Not only were the par¬ 
ties Incarcerated subject to inconvenience, but medical men predicted that dis¬ 
ease would probably bo generated by the overcrowding of prisoners, Those 
parties who were drat arrested were treated with consideration and kindness. 
They were allowed to have their own bed* and other mat tom of convenience and 
Comfort* But they wore placed at the debtors'* si do of the prison, and thataonn 
became filled so as to afford no ad UrJonal aecoinmodalfon, Tire criminal wide 
was then necessarily resorted to, mid hero, of course, all extra accommodation 
wua impossible. Here, then, tlio prisoners accttfimlitied *o fast, that so many s 
twelve were compelled to sleep in one cell, Tire Government, with considerate 
humanity, immediately set about clearing those prison* to some extent* and on 
Friday (last week) sixteen, of those Imprisoned under the Habeas Corpus Sus¬ 
pension Act* but who, it is probable, will not bo subjected to any trial or heavier 
punishment than duress a were removed to the. Hnu*e of Correction at Belfast, 
In the Reynard Government mearner. This movement was effected unex¬ 
pectedly* at an early hour in the morning. Six were taken from Newgate* 
and ten from KHmairihfim, In the police van, to the Kingston Railway* und de¬ 
spatched by the fl rat train down. The Reynard rounded Howth Hrad beforeeight 
o'clock, a m. The names of those removed from Newgate were Meaera* Meany 
and Brennan, said ro be charged with treason i and Messrs, W. T. Meyler, Chas. 
Taaffe* barrister ; P. Kennedy, arrested Ln Kill aloe a few days sioeo : P Matron, 
proprietor of the Drogheda Arytui and &om KHmaintiam, Patrick Olllppln*, 
the Irish aide-de-ramp to Feargna O'Connor in all his movements, and who had 
1300 gun-stocks on his promises [ O'Ftorke, of Clontarf, who was taken recently 
m route to an armed rendez vona ; Itergin, recently from America; Crotty anil 
Baker, of Pirn's haberdashery house i E, O’Reilly, late a correspondent and 
ambassador of the Nation at Paris; and Mr. Walsh j and some other parties un¬ 
known to notoriety. Mr* Dillon, It is now generally understood, has escaped to 
Franco. ■ 

The Potato BmaHT.—The failure appears to be a* complete as that of I84tf. 
Reports from Tipperary, Carlow, Cork, dlfed, Limerick, D^rry, Antrim, Down, 
Louth, Armagh, Monaghan, &c. T unhappily all concur in representing the pesti¬ 
lence as uni vernal. 

Mr. Butt sent a hostile message to the Solicitor-General for coma word* he 
used at the late trials but the matter was satisfactorily explained. 

The Irish Government* under the agency of the Poor Law Board, have been 
making very urgent inquiries iw to the actual condition at present* and furore 
prospects of Ireland in respect to food; and the result, as committed to the exe¬ 
cutive, may be comprised in a very *hOrt sentence, namely* "thatthere to barely 
food in tjie country to support tha population til! the first week in January.” 

Five foreigners who were arrested at the Chari cm On t Hotel, Armagh* on Sun¬ 
day last, having been sent to Dublin, guarded by astrengpotice ferae, were, after a 
brief examination, liberated by order of the Lord Lieutenant, They wore ull 
Americans, who had been making the tour of Europe* and who intended to visit 
the moat celebrated districts of this country previous to their return borne* 
They had no connexion whatever with the Repeal party.

GEORGE STEPHENSON, ESQ., C*E- 

M The departure Of such a man as George Stephenson {we quote from Mr. 
Hudson's graceful reference to Ills I amort ted friend at the Eastern Counties' 
mooting) to to be deplored am a national calamity; and railway shareholders 
have an especial cans® of regret. f< tr, if it imd pleased God to spare him, na we 
might have hoped, no one could have been more pleased, than himself to see 
them receive a due return for the Investment of their capital Ln those great an- 
dertakings which his genius and enterprise did so much to call into existence." 

This eminent engineer died at bis establishment In Derbyshire on the 12th 
Irotant, at the age of 67. Of bumble origin* and of unaided ability. George 
Stephenson was the constructor of hto own spotless name and high reputation. 
By Industry, intellect* and Integrity, he realised a large fortune ; and those who 
knew him best were well aware of the generous and discriminating nae he made 
of tho ample means which Providence had allotted to him. If not the actual 
anther or Inventor of the railway system* Mr. Stephenson—in the development 
and practical working of the principle—held an effective position* not inter far to 
that of any oLber perenn*. and was decidedly the leading railway engineer of this 
country. He leaves one son {Tire present Robert Stephenson)* who, emulating 
hla father's fame, is o»W the chief engineer of the London and North-Western

Tuesday, which was set aside for Mrs Hornier'* benefit—with the extra¬ 
ordinary drama of “ Tire Tower of Neale," from the French of Alexdiidre: 
Du ei] tis and F. Gollllardet* It was produced at tho Surrey some year* 
ago, and achieved a great success; and now Mr. G, Bennett has re¬ 
adme'! hto original character of ifaritfon. Wo cannot ray a wont Id 
favour of this revival. The beautiful rmjrtn Gffe costumes—thorte Of 
the cloflo of the thirteenth ceotury—were replaced by the old conventional 
" tunics " of time Immemorial; the pictuiewiae Interior of Or#imV tavern, tee 
chamber of the clreulai- Tour de Ne&fo, the old Louvre, and the dungeons of 
the chArelet, wore represented hy whatever appearetl best calculated to destroy 
any aeon to illusion; and the general teisiueas was inantotic and alovenly. Nor 
was the acting any better. Mr. G, Bennett was tun heavy for hurt thin : how¬ 
ever well he may once have played it, certainly his present performance gave 
one but a we »k idea of the crafty soldier of fortune as represented by borage and 
Fred e ri ck Lenta! tre* onto ou r owu clever James Wall&ck co ul d portray I he part Mr. 
K,T. Hicks was very wearitrome as the young gal font captain of the Queen's Guard, 
GttuUhkr (TAulnap. He spoke so iluwly, that the probability ofthe neat word 
arriving appeared'at times quefititnuble* Certainly. The best enacted character 
of the tfraina was die Savoisy of Mr. II. Webb* Thto gentleman has great humour, 
and, on this occasion, he never allowed It to degenerate into buffoonery. The 
simple filtering courtier was excellently portrayed, Mrs, II. Vbilng's Mar¬ 
guerite was also creditable* —-— 

MARYLEBONE. 

The management of thto theatre deserve* great credit for the very excellent 
manner in which the pieces are produced. Tho same care and Judgment which 
was bestowed upon the legitimate plays during Mrs. Winter's management to 
kept up with rc>-pect to the dramas and burlesques now brought forward for 
Mr. and Mrs. Keefey, M Valentine and Orson " to lightly drawing guod houses, 
and the audiences are of a very superior description. The piece itself to ad¬ 
mirably put on the stage* and very well played. The scenery and dresses are 
nil entirely new and In keeping; and Pri cfja tifftatitmc't army of Jenny Lindt 
is a very imposing force* The manner tn which the different lines are delivered, 
and the point that is given to them, sprnks well for the Intelligence of the com¬ 
pany* — 

The annual amateur performances during the cricket meetings took place lust 
week at Canterbury, and were* as usual, attended by all the principal famiLes 
of the neighbourhood* The principal characters in the piece* produced wore 
admirably sustained by the members of tho club* all gentlerneft Well known in 
the leading circles of to&hluuab e and military London life. 

The A del phi corap'uny are drawing very good houses at the Haytnsrket—so 
much so that tlte season ther- has been prolonged. The weather has continued 
exceedingly favourable-for iu-door amusements. 

CoLoasBUM.—It may not be gauerally known that n new attraction, littlo 
thought of when the Panorama was painted, has been added to the ■* Panorama 
of Paris by Night. All tlie points where barricades were erected in Eh© Juno 
Insurrection, and where the carnage was hottest, arc Clearly indicated, thus giving 
a greater degree of historical Interest to this groat picture* 

An Amsterdam correspondent, who has addressed us twice upon the subject 
of the originality of the Lyceum piece, called "Anything for a Change," is in¬ 
formed that the delay in reply arose* not from discourtesy, but from our not 
having had an opportunity of communicating with the author* Tho totter begs 
that wft will acknowledge otir correspondent's discern moot, and add that every 
line Is original, but that the author bos availed himself partly of some situa¬ 
tions in the French drama alluded to, and partly of a much older story, written 
by himself for Sir. Ainsworth's Magazine several years ago* 


MDLLE. JENNY LIND AS “ ALICE ” IN “ EOBERTO IL 
DIAVOLO" 

Wi present to our readers the accompany tug portrait of Mdlle. Lind as Alice, be¬ 
cause her interpretation of this pan has that poetical ecuiceprion most favourable 
to art; and likewise because it Is* perhaps, ul ail the characters She Iilla assumed* 
that in which she has displayed the foil extent of her genius. Tho feeling* the In¬ 
tent, and the daw of the personage, every detail ami attribute of the character, are 
congenial to the nature of this great lyrl ml diaiuattot; for her own story prove* 
that* by innate intrmsl' power, by the force of natural powers and genius atone,

agency. The hero himself—a weak-minded i*rlnce, half-burfed in ihe rafanic 
shade—excited litrie or nolnteresi* because ho boro none of theesssciutoleharuc-

PAINTED BY G. LANCE. 

Thu twflutlftil plcwra bus been painted by Mr. Lance for his Grace the Duke 
of Marlborough ; and many of our readers will recollect It Ra one Of the first- 
daw attractions of the West Room, in the late Exhibition of the Royal Aca- 

o composition is an almost matchless assemblage of magnificent fruit, for 
wttdi prlio medals hare been awarded by the Horticultural Society. The prin¬ 
cipal object In tbs composition whether considered with regard to ilxe* weight. 


PRIZE VTtUTT GROWN AT WJWWTCDL—PAINTEO BY G. LANCE- 

form, or colour, is a stupendous plno-applo? the original fruit weighed sixteen 
pounds, and measured twenty-four Inches in circumference, and nineteen inches 
from the stalk end of the apple to the extreme end of the crown. The other 
fruits, especially the grapes, peaches, and cherries, were upon an equally grand 
scale. In the background of the group arc the ducal arms * and in the distance 
la the noble palace of Blenheim. 

This Is, certainly, one of Mr. Lance’s finest works* and the Duko of Marlbo- 
borough was highly satisfied with the picture. His Grace Immediately forwarded 
to the painter a cheque for two hundred guineas. 

In this class of painting Mr. Lance, certainly, baa no rival. 


WAR-STEAM EES IN KENGSTOWH HARBOUR. 

During the Insunecttomur movement, 44 the noble asylum harbour of Kings¬ 
town on the south side of Dublin Bay, has been a scene of constant activity 
Noble war-steamers, as the Driver, Cyctops, and Birkenhead, have been variously 
employed for throwing in reinforcements of troops, &c. The preparation of these 
vessels has presented some remarkable instances of celerity; thus, we learn 
that upon one occasion the D n'wr has been fitted out* manned, provisioned, and 
coaled complete for sea in the short space of six hours. 

We perceive that the Admiralty his Just lsxutu orders that the new packets

On the motion for the third reading of ihe Sugar Duties Bill, Lord Giora

however desirable It might be to have a general and uniform Nystom, yel there 
were so many difficulties In the wav* that at that lute period of the session It was 
lm Hpwible to deal *ith them. He hoped, however, In the next session* to o

of tflo circumaiAlices which led to the Bank Charter Act of ifl44, ^d* after 
alluding to the events that followed, contended that It was clearly established 
that tha act of 1»44 wu* a total failure, add the Hous* ought soon to 
decide wheiher it tomild bo peraoverad in or otherwise. ThreoyjMJ ex- 
parienre had shewn that tha objects sought to be attained by that act 
had not any (me of them been secured. Jt had only accomplished 
the predictions uf Its opponento, while It entirely disappointed «w■ JJ" 
pec tat ton* of Us promoters; and If an addition*! argument were required 
to prove Its Inefficiency* it would be furnltoed by the fafillhat during

He then adverted to tho reports presented to both House* Of Parliament, BM 
said that tl e CommooB' Commiti** had, In direct opposition to theprepaftociran« 
nf uvldence, re[mrtcd in favour uf the act; while the Lords* who had had very 
tew additional witnesses before them, had reported that toe ael required 
amendment. Under there clrciiiuatoncea* he hoped to* Gorornment would see 
the necessity (as it was too late to do so this session) of taking this tntoJect Into 
Its Beriotis coin-IdJerallon, and would pledge itself to bring the subject forward as 
tarly aJUKBriblu in the nest session of Purllament. 

Mr. Dxuhmoke thought Hie Covenroiem would be wrong to pledge itsettto 
any act for neat session* for ne entirely desp dred of ever seeing the currency

Mr. Newoxg*tje considered the whole earrency quevtion a sysfotn titat was

SirR. Peel went at acme length into the eun^ncy questfon, to anew the ffll- 
jacics of Mr. Spooner's vlawa, and could not see how anything could be gaiueu 
by adeptteg Hie motion before the House, He deprecated the weatn the Govern* 
merit giving s pledge to consider the subject next sffltolon, w^lcli ho coriiidered 
equivalent to airing a promi^ory note at six months. At Hie 
dhcuaslon he would be most willing to maintain the propnety of adhering; to the 
restrictive clauses of the act of iB4t, which, in his opinion, pee vented the danger 
of a political panic, in addition to the monetary pre«urc in April krt* 'Vttb ie- 
spect to the recommendation of the Lords’ committee, lie should be prepared, at 
a proper time, to show that the most Imperfect armngtmient that could be pro- 
mLd would be to Inv&it the Bank of England with a dbcmtouaiy powojr to re¬

the Government to retote in iU own hands I he power of rolandug three cteusfeg

Mr. Muxte said, toe act of I81Q waa so Imperfect, that ft caused ft ^eut deal 
of fluctuattoc; and rlmt, irad that been a proper measure, bill of

the digress was not aggravated by toe t^iriction or toe act, it a iteguter 
foci that the vwy day the relaxation was* announced U relieved the duress, and 
the nExr day the whole routury felt the benefit of It, lie believed the nay

CHIMNEY-PIECE IN THE. TAFESTES^ROOM* WITH PORTRAIT OF FTBLD-MARSHAL VISCOUNT CO SIIAM, BY KNHLLER. 


(Coniinw# from page 100 .) 

Tub Sale et Stowe has tola week been of the utmost Interest, from so many 
articles of the richest design and greatest rarity having been submitted to pub¬ 
lic competition. In many Instances, the prices realised hare been very high, 
especially in the S&vrcs china end majolica ware. A great quantity oft tic carved 
and gilded furniture and inlaid tables have been disposed of, and chiefly at good 
prices. 

THE ILLUSTRATIONS 

In thi* N timber of the Journal shew various Interesting Items In the side, and 
we resume our brief notices of them, and of the gen end contents nf Stowe House, 
IrTho scene depicted at page 120 Is one of the picturesque glorias of "the Dar¬ 
den* 1 '—the Lake and aPatladtun Bridget and that at page t®&, the Temple of 
Ancient Virtue; both drawn by Mr. Dodgson. 


One of the Engravings represents the fire-place in the Tapestry Drawing- 
room ; the best specimen of its kind in th& house: In the oval corn part moot 
over the fire-place Is a portrait, &s the Inscription on the picture asserts, of 
Richard Temple, Lord Viscount Cobham, Field-Marshal, Ac. i U I* a fair repre¬ 
sentation of the warrior. On the mantcl-shelf were ranged many pieces of fine 
old Dresden* and an ancient blue glass bottle* richly mounted In metal gilded— 
a most elaborate and beautiful work. 

The bust of Prior (lot 751) excited much notice, and the biddings for It were 
very spirited—-Mr. Ortvos, of Pail-mall, endeavouring to gain it, against the 
biddings of the auctioneer, who woa understood to have a commission for it from 
Sir Robert Peel; Sir HoWt, however, became the purchaser for the sum of 130 
guineas, and the bust will be highly prized by him, oa he has In Ills collection 
the com panion bust of Pope* which originally belonged to Mr. Bindley, of the 
Slump-Office. This bust is one of the best works of the finncua Roubiliac, and 
ha , perliap*, never been surpassed for delicacy Of chiselling and truly charac¬ 
teristic expression. It fo rtns the 
subject of one of Our Illustra¬ 
tions. 

The beautiful oviform vase re¬ 
presents lot 1240. The vase is 
of white marble, about twenty 
Inches In height, and is spirally 
fluted, whilst round the body of 
the vase is n frieze represent mg 
female figures dancing. Tin a 
frieze is most exquisitely sculp¬ 
tured, the figures being chiselled 
with great delicacy. 

Two arm-chairs (lot 293). m ado 
of solid Ivory, quaintly carved 
end gilded—true specimens of 
Eastern luxury—are also repre¬ 
sented in our page*. They ware 
once the property of Tlppoo 
Salta, und were sent by the cele¬ 
brated Warren Hastings (vs a 
present to Queen Charlotte—at 
the time* we believe, when his 
trial was impending. The choirs 
have live lege, and they and Lha 
backs are ornamented with carv¬ 
ing, tn b>w relief, and partly 
gilded; on the ends of the 
arms are the tigers’ hernia of 
Throw, Those obj ects of vertu 
sold for forty-two guineas, 

A cistern of majolica or 
Raffaolle ware (lot Ml), of most 
magnificent design and propor¬

SCULPTURE AND BRONZES. 

On Monday Iwt the antique and modem sculpture* hitherto scattered through 
the rooms and in the corridors and hall, were disposed oh and some of them 
realised high prices. Soma of the marbles are of the highest class, and all of 
them interesting. 

A statue of Venus arranging her hair, and known m the Marine Venus, Is the 
most beautiful of the productions of the chisel, and Is of great purity of outline 
and wonderful softness and delicacy of workmanship, If we except a portion of 
the arms, the hands, and head, which seem of modem characters they are, per¬ 
haps, restoration* and certainly Inferior to the rest of tho statue In point of ex¬ 
pression, Tlila statue was found in excavating the Baths of Agrippa, at Homo, 
and brought to England by the present Duke of Bucklugliatn, when Marquis of 
Chandos, The competition for this statue was highly exciting: at 157 guineas 
the hammer fell, and Mr. Grunor became me purchaser, it is reported, on behalf 
of Prince Albert. _ . , 

A group of three female figures supportings, vase, oh a truncated column of 
grey marble, is highly Interesting as a relic of antiquity * but, though good, is 
ccidedly of inferior execution to the Venus, A goat tied to a tree is a piece of 


yory beautiful Grecian sculpture, and full of spirit—tho animalendeavouring to 
release bis boras from the bands which confine him to the tree. An antique 
chimera, In white marble, Is remarkable for the singularity of its form, and re¬ 
presents an ancient testmlo. or lyre, supported on the outopreadwingsofaswan. 
This singular work of art was found in a tomb near the Villa Adriana, by the 
Marquis of Chanda* The antique Roman sarcophagus (lot 145), a representor- 
tlon of * portion of which we gave in our last week's Journal, a very fine work of art, 
sold for 31 i guineas. Two other sarcophagi, inferior to tho one Just referred to in 
acliMCy ofworkraaiuhip, though highly Interesting, sold ttr eUtows guineas 
each- One of them, lot 748, was discovered by the present Duke, when Marquis 
of Chanda* In I8IT, on tho Via Appia, near the tomb of Cecilia Mctella; the 
sculpture upon it representing a group of figures lamenting over a corpse, 
placed on a couch In the centre of the piece- The other sarcophagus was orna¬ 
mented with figure!) of Cupids hunting wild animals. B t 

Two white marble vases, each three feet ten Inches high, of exquisite design 
and elaborate decoration, sold for small sums conafdoriijg their beauty, only 
seventeen and twenty-two guineas respectively ; but this may be accounted for 
by tho circumstance that both have bad several pieces of marble let 
Into them to restore fragments lost or Injured. The first ono, lot 733, 
purchased by Lord Nugent, has twisted handles of exquisite form* springing 
from ttuv ^s and on tho front of tiio bowl of tho tow is a bus-relief of 


a fmm pursued by a bacchante 5 tho same subject, altered,- .Mag re 
peated on tho reverse. The ancle of the vase Is sculptured with rich-foliage 
Tho companion vase, lot 135, has handles formed of serpents; tho bowl is 
ornamented with Cupids intermingled with vines in relief, beautifully wrought, 
and the neck of the vase has the Grecian honeysuckle partem upon It. Both 
these vases were discovered In tho Villa Adriana, and have been engraved by 
Piranesi, There were also two beautifully sculptured and well designed figures 
of small site, one representing a farm carrying a goat on his shoulder* and tha 
other a bacchante holding a young faun, which sold for rather large amounts, 
and are now tho property of Mr. Beaufoy, of South Lambeth. The head of the 
faun Is full of expression, and well curried out. A tine statue of flygeta, of full 
life site, deserve* soma mention on account of Its beauty i but, unfortunately, 
the head and hands are modern restorations. Lord Nugent wan the purchaser 
of tills lot for 51 guineas- Some antique bast* of no great merit as works of art , 
realised but poor prices. Of the modern specimens of sculpture, the head of 
Prior, by Roubiliac, before mentioned, la unquestionably the finest work of art 
The numoTous other busts, chiefly by Comolld and Tremanovo, having no claims 
to notice further than as mementos of departed statesmen, and ipembera of the 
Buckingham and Grenville families, met the usual fete of secondary works Of 
art in realising but small sums, with two exception* the busts of William Fitt 
! and Philip Stanhope Earl Chesterfield, which Sir Robert Fool obtained at

MONETARY TRANSACTIONS OF THE WEEK. 

{From ovr City CotrerpQtidcnt,} 

A rajfne feeling of uncos ness bus prevailed In the Money Market during the 
week, arising from j fie critical state Of the hurvi s', os well as the ntill muse:tied 
pofft on of affjdis in France, Italy, nnn the North os Germany, nreproba- 
billty of s Lr e supply nf foreign com becoming requisite to replace thedefl- 
rienvy of tbo harvest here, ut a period when, wit bout the 1 terpraltion of 
such a powerful cause, the exchanges are already In favour of the exjiortutiini of 
gold to Hamburgh, Paris, and New York, no to rally excites alarm. It la true (hat 
any pressure arising from s restriction of the currency. Induced by this cause, 
will not be taunt'd lately felt; hut the events of last year are so keenly re¬ 
membered, that on tlie first real demand for money, an Indiaporitfon to 
ran any ri=k may lock up capital to no great an extent as to create 
an nrtftlcla] scarcity where none really exists. That n feeling of pre¬ 
paring for such an event is Increasing there cannot bo any doubt. Largo sales 
of Exchequer Bills and other flosthig ftreuritiea have been quietly making for 
some weeks po*r; bonce the gradual decline in prices at a period when capital 
Is, m* at present, so over-abundant. These considerations have Influenced the 
English market daring the week, creating heaviness, and causing a slight de¬ 
cline to prices. On Monday Consols opened at 85} l for money, but slightly 
improved during the day, closing at &5i to 86 for money and the September 
account, this price cont tout'd on Tuesday, until the sale ol £ LUO,000 reduced 
quotations ro S5|; but a rally afterwards clescd prices at 86 for money, and 
Bdto t for Account. On Wednesday Consuls opened at the improved price of $6 to 
{ for Money, and B6i to } f«r Account; not Vorying until Thursday, wire* tm ud* 
vance to 86} to } was registered. This advance may bo chiefly attributed to its 
being understood that the Government will not require any aid until the next 
meeting of Parliament, which tended to temporarily strengthen prices. At tiio 
close of tbo week, there was, consequently, less languor, prices quoting for— 
Bank Slock, iU6} ; Bed need, 86| t Consols, 86}; Now Three-ufid* a Quarter 
per Cents, 87 }; Long Aniuilttw, to expire Jan, 5, I960, A 15-16; India Stock, 
2,tS; Ditto, Bouda, JCIOljQ, 23; Consols for Account. 86}; Excht quer Bills— 
£ | not), till, March. 3zs; Junta* 35a; £h' 0, June, St5s , Small, Jane, 28. 

Both Monday ami Tuesday were nearly blank day* In the Foreign Market, 
bu-does-s being Jimllcd to a low rratiaacUrmH of small amount, and consequently 
producing no riiaiige la prices w.tta the exception of Braziliatt, which 
advaneca to 73. Ihcre was rather more burin e&< on Wednesday * but 
tire alteration* were trifling, buritaesa again becoming dull on Thuraday. The 
only interes ing topic Iras been the cummunkailon from tha Mexican tlnauce 
Minister to the agents of tan; bmidfioldera, that no |M>rtKuti nf the firnt las al- 
meift or the tndemnny money from the UultoLl States Is to be handed over to 
defray tlio arreori of the ooleinu Coo truer mafia with the bond holder* two years 
back, and which now amouiji to 5,U0n,0bU dollars. 7 he Fhianoe Minister doea 
not question tiie vtiiiin , but, unfortunately, about three weeks fataftt the receipt 
of the letter to which Ills counuumcaitoa w,ra an an^wor, Congress had parsed a 
law + " prohibiting 1 ibe govcnmient from dfopoeing oi the amount In flic maimer 
proponed. Thus, between the Finance Mltifotor *nd Ccbgrrsa. no probability of 
a dividend can be for a moment entertained. At the close of the week prices 
Were, lor Mexican Fiven, IMA, Account, Mr}; Peruvian, ao; lfortugueifo Four per

The different railway m at.ngs held during the past week have ntrt produced 
any increase os confidence on the pari of the public, nor does such an event seem 
piuhsMc, until sharehuldcra display more derision in compelling directors to 
eose the capital account*, and thus icat what real dividend can be paid. The 
branch Jlne» t auiulgamatJurtfl. and leasing of lines, at a large profit, to nriicmlfig 
pi-ojcctors, have nu»t &eriuu.i 1 y damaged tbe best of the eHtabllsliud linert, but 
not pari repair* if sliarch aiders will strenuously exert tbcmridvaa to 
prevent any further out lay, whether In the shape of extensions or 
otherwise. Till this be (tone, the share list will display the name depres¬

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, 


[August 26 , 1648 , 



the Island i that its coast was indents! with bays and Inlota, huvlag good 
anchorage; that the soil had groat capabilities for agriculture; that 
two-thirds of the whole surface (2M mUea long by 50 broad) were 
prairie land, and other parts wore covered with valuable oak and the 
finest timber; that the cl!mate was mild and pleasant, and that there might ho 
grown upon tho land any kind of grain that was raised in England. Sir George 
Simpson, in a letter dated the 2 1st of Juno, 1844, said that the country and the 
climate were " remarkably line; that the soil was flit for agriculture and tho 
roaring of domestic cattle; and that the place would become Important, and was 
better calculated for a d&<X Tor trade than any place In its neighbourhood.* ■ 
Sir George also stated that American whale ships had resorted there, 
and flint be thought U likely to become a dip6t for that purpose* 
os it was much nearer the Ashing ground than California. Mr. Kama 
added:— H The Columbia river, which the Americans had, waa obstructed 
by bars; Vancouver's Island, so available for trade, was distant from 
China only a voyage of la days. Plenty of men and plenty of capital would go 
there If tho settlers wore to bo Independent. There wens coal-fields covering Ml 
square miles In the Island, the cool cropping out nt the top and costing but little 
to raise: It was lamentable, therefore to think that, arts Lous as wo wore to pro¬ 
mote colonisation by self^ovcming settlers, we should surrender such an oppor¬ 
tunity to this Company." 

On Monday night. Lord J, Russel! announced that It was Intended to accom¬ 
pany the grant of the island with certain conditions which would make It Impe¬ 
rative upoti them to do all In their power to promote colonisation; and his 
Lordship added that the concluding of tho grant would still be loft to a Com¬ 
mittee. of the Privy Council, 

Tho Hudson's Bay Company have already a settlement upon the Island, and a 
Correspondent has sketched this portion. The fort Itself lies some 11 tile distance 
Inside the harbour; it is blockaded, with an octagonal tower at two opposite 
angles, with three or four guns mounted in each, Alt the buildings were ori¬ 
ginally inside; but they have been extended outside* and It la intended to eu- 
large ihe stockade. To the left In a little village, 

Tho render will find, by the way, o good account of the Company's settlement 
in Mr. Eallantyne’* lively volume entitled “ Hudson's Bay/* lately published.

pretty and elegant travellers. In oil ports the beautiful emuirfes receive case* 
filled! not only with barfcga dresres, ornamented with graduated ribbon velvet, 
which lias tho most charming effect; but also ball and evening concert dresses, 
consisting of tulle, ertya Hw, or tarlatan, decorated with & wreath of little leaves, 
blades of asparagu*, upriga of barberry, or bunches of currant*, formed of velvet, 
with or without ligatures of gold end flllver cord. These lovely dresses are The more 
valuable on account of their being equally pleasing by ilayllght and candle¬ 
light Tarlatan embroidered, in light designs, executed with fancy straw, is a 
tasteful novelty. These, dresses are made very simple; a bodice h trois pibca m 
trimmed with a berth c, and. the skirt composed of three flounces, the first ot 
which foils from the waist Tho berthc and the flounce* arc cut in festooning* 
of strew u mate,*' and a light garknd of straw flowers ornaments the edge of

COLONIZATION OF VANCOUVER’S ISLAND, 

The grant of Vancouver's Island to the Hudson’* Bay Company formed tho 
subject ofa very striking debate in tho Home of Commons on Friday evening. 
It appear* that tho Governor having requested of Government the grant nf the 
British territory west of the Rocky Mountains, and specially of Vancouver's 
Island, lying along it* southern coast, the C old ninl Secretary has favoured the 
application, the justification being that “ the Island in question has not advan¬ 
tage enough to ensure ila voluntary colonization, and that If we did not make 
provision for occupying it bi some maimer or other, we should probably bo 
anticipated In such proceedings by parties ready to avail themselves of our 
neglect." 

On Friday, Mr, Christy called the attention of Parliament to ihe proposed 

S nmt, which was opposed by Mr. Gladstone, ou the ground lliat investigation, 
eLiberation, aud caution wore demanded before the confirmation of the charter 
Mr, Eumewa* of the same opinion; but, eventually, the hon. member's motion 
for an address to the Crown, to stay the grant of tho charter, waa lost by 58 
to 76, 


During the debate, the importance of the island aaa field for colonisation was 
geographically illnatrated by more than one of the speakers. Mr. Wyld observed 
that Vancouver's Island Blood in a peculiar position: It wits the sentinel of tho 
Pacific Ocean. Its local position, with reference to China, Australia, New 
Zealand, and other important places, made tho possession of it a 
matter of great moment. JU numerous harbours made Jt also of 
great value in .that part of the world! and the time, he beJteved, w as not far 
distant when Vancouver'* Island would command the trade with China. Again, 
it® agriculture was by no mean* to be despised, end It produced spars of tho 
finest quality. Mr. Hums quoted a report from Mr. Douglas, a public officer or 
the Hudson's Bay Company, which stated there to he an abundance of timber on

Deputation to the FoaEzcK-Ornas ojt tite Avfauls of the River Plate. 
—On Monday a deputation of mem bent of Parliament had an interview with 
Lord Palmerston, at the Foreign-Office, to present a memorial signed by the 
Mayor and a number of highly respectable merchants of Manchester, with re¬ 
ference to the continued interru plloti In the trade of the River Plate. Mr, 
Milner til harm read the memorial, Which net forth the Inconvenience and Ichm 
suffered by the tong-pen (I Eng dioptrics between the state* of tho River Flute, and 
urged the Government to toko such steps as might bo proper to bring about tho 
reiteration of peace. Lord Palmerston wo* very frank In hi* communication* 
with the depuration. The first attempt, he said, at an arrangement through tho 
negotiation of Lord Howdon failed, because Rosas, tho President or Dictator Of 
Bueno* Ayres, refused to consent to tho free navigation of the river* which 
empty themselves Into the River Plate. Another attempt wo* made by Captain 
Gore, who was sent out specially to co-operate with M. Le Grew, tho French 
envoy, and the efforts of these gentlemen aeimied to promise .success for a time, 
Oribe, who was possessed of the country' outside the city of Monte Video, had 
consented to certain condition*; and Ihe Monte Videsne, who had possession of 
the city, and who are carrying on the war with him, were also on the pointer 
consenting to a peace, when the new* pf the French Revolution arrived and In¬ 
duced them to break off negotiation*, In the belief that the Republic would give 
them more decided assistance thim Guizot had been willing to render them. 
The new® of the Revolution also had Its effect on Rosas. Ho refilled to treat 
with Le Gnut,an the ground that, os a new Government, or no Government at all 
existed la France, the acta of Its envoy might not be sanctioned; and Captain 
Gore alto thought It best to wait till further instructions came from Franco, Ths 
nait packet brought no Instruction* to Le Gres* whereupon that gentleman re¬ 
turned to France. Captain Gore remain* at Monte Video; but negotiation* are 
suspended, until the French Government decide upon tho course it will take. 
Lord Palmer*ton Informed the deputation that ho would communicate with M. 
do Beaumont, the French Min Inter in London, on the subject; and he hoped the

to unite in aome mom successful effort to bring about a termination of ho&tilitiea

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGES. 

Whatever may be the opinions of politicians upon the abstract 
questions involved in that of Free-Trade, there con be no doubt in 
the minds of any that the Anti-Corn-Law agitation and the repeal 
of the Corn-Laws have had the effect of arousing attention to agri¬ 
culture as a science. There can, we think* be as little doubt that 
the increase of agricultural knowledge has already been produc- 
ive of national good; and none whatever* that, with a rapidly aug¬ 
menting population upon a circumscribed soil, improvements in 
agriculture are not alone highly desirable, but of paramount ne¬ 
cessity* Men of all political parties* although the remembrances 
of a bitter party, and utmost personal, conflict have not yet passed 
away* are dive to the fact that, whether we live under a system of 
Free-Trade or under one of Protection, It is equally imperative to 
turn all the resources of our own soil to the best account. So far, 
a great social benefit has already resulted from the political strife of 
the Free-Traders and Protectionists; a benefit which time will but 
the more extend, and which is not diminished by tbe reflection that 
it was unexpected by either party. And not Great Britain alone, 
but all the old and thickly populated states of Europe are deeply 
interested in the question of agricultural improvement. None of 
them can extend its boundaries except at tbe expense of its neigh¬ 
bours; and in extending its frontiers no sensible difference would 
ensue in the existing proportions between the lands to bo cultivated 
and the mouths to be fed. Great Britain by a natural more than 
by a political necessity* cannot extend her home dominions. She 
can acquire no land from her neighbours, and the sea is not to be 
won for the plough. She is shut up within a narrow compass; and 
if she would lengthen her sceptre and extend the circle of which 
it is the radius, she must send to the uttermost parts of the earth to 
subdue or colonise new countries. To her, above all the nations of 
Europe, the capabilities of her home soil are of the most 
urgent importance. Within her boundaries, population makes 
the most rapid increase. Within her teeming cities and 


daily growing manufacturing towns, fresh multitudes, demanding to 
be fed* arise from year to year in far greater numbers than in any 
other portion of civilized Europe. Upon her shores the great pro¬ 
blem of adapting population to resources, or resources to popula¬ 
tion, clamours most earnestly for a satisfactory solution. At the 
present time, the pressure of the one upon the other is felt to be 
sufficiently severe. At periodically recurring intervals, it is even 
felt to be dangerous. Far-seeing men* who can calculate the 
march of the generations, ask* with sensations of painful solicitude 
if not of terror, what our position as a nation Is likely to be when, 
by a natural and inevitable increase, we shall have added five, or even 
ten or fifteen millions to the swarms of these already overcrowded 
islands? They take courage, however, when they reflect that we 
have largo resources, not merely unexhausted but undeveloped. Of 
the 32*340,000 acres that form the superficies of England, the 
18,666*000 of Scotland, the 19,500,000 of Ireland* and the 5,200,000 
of Woles, they ask how many lie uncultivated, although cultiva¬ 
ble? They find that many millions of acres in each of these divi¬ 
sions of the empire have never yet grown food for man* and only 
await the application of science and labour to feed a large popula¬ 
tion* They find too that the cultivated land is capable of a much 
higher cultivation than has ever yet been bestowed upon it; that if 
the soil be narrow the resources of science are illimitable; and that 
if every day augments the numbers to be fed* every day also in¬ 
creases the power of science lo provide for them Not only are there 
wide wastes and extensive moorlands to be brought under the 
plough, and large areas upon the mountain sides to be made green 
with oats and turnips; not only is the productive superficies of tbe 
country to be almost doubled, but the produce of that which is 
already productive is to be trebled, quadrupled, and quintupled by 
the application of greater skill, energy, and science by tbe present 
and future generations. 

The Boyal Agricultural Society of England has, in this respect, 
done much good* So likewise have the kindred societies, tbe an¬ 


nual meetings of which are now taking place. Still greater good 
is yet to be anticipated from their operations and their example. But 
the institutions from which society may form the most hopeful as¬ 
pirations for the future, are the Agricultural Schools and Colleges 
which are springing up in so many parts of the country, to train 
the rising generation into a due knowledge of Agriculture a a a 
science. Some of the first minds of the age have been devoted to 
the subject; and the knowledge they have bequeathed to the world 
baa produced, and is producing, the most valuable results. In all 
those countries where systems of national education have been es¬ 
tablished, instruction in the practice* as well as in the science of 
Agriculture, has been made a prominent feature. The youth who 
is to drive the plough in his own country* is taught something of the 
philosophy and science of his future pursuit; and if in manhood he 
becomes an emigrant from bis native land, he is enabled to cany 
with him the knowledge that will enrich himself and the new- 
country to which he bears it. Should a system of National Educa¬ 
tion ever be established in these kingdoms, as we fervently trust it 
will. Agricultural Schools will necessarily occupy an Important 
part in the scheme adopted. In the meantime, the growing inter¬ 
est taken in the subject by the public, and by the great landed pro¬ 
prietors generally, is manifested in the number of Agricultural 
Schools and Colleges that have been instituted since the repeal of 
the Corn-Laws. Among the foremost of these valuable seminaries 
is the Royal Agricultural College of Cirencester, incorporated by 
Royal Charter in 1&45, for tbe purpose of affording a practical and 
scientific agricultural education to students from all parts of the 
kingdom, on the nomination of shareholders and donors. 'This 
society is under the immediate patronage of Prince Albert, 
and numbers on the list of its governors some of the largest land- 
owners and most distinguished agriculturists of the country* 

The College adjoins the park and woods of Earl Bathurst* and j 
situated about a mile and a half from, the town of Cirencester,

Bathurst, and contains 450 acres (420 of which are arable), of a 
varied character and soil. The farm is se|>amted into four divi¬ 
sions, each being farmed according to a different rotation, so that 
the students have an opportunity of seeing the most advanced sys¬ 
tems both of British and Continental husbandry. The instruction 
given comprises lectures on the science and practice ol iigricnlturej 
on chemistry and chemical manipulation * on natural history, in* 
eluding botany, geology, and zoology ; on veterinary practice \ on 
mathematics? and on natural philosophy. The practical instruction 
in agriculture is given on the farm, all tho students spending ope- 
haLf of each day in making themselves acquainted with, and taking 
part in, the manual operations of husbandry. They have thus the 
advantage of a practical acquaintance with the uses and applica¬ 
bility of the different implements ; and arc charged ill succession 
with the various departments of the farm, such as stables, cattle 
sheds, sheep pens, machinery, implements, tillage,^ and drainage 
operations, A laboratory, conducted upon Liebig's system, hs ap¬ 
propriated to chemical manipulation and analysis. Besides floricul¬ 
ture and horticulture, field botany and practical geology are taught by 
means of excursions on the fann and neighbouring districts. At 
the form-buildings, a place is set apart for a dispensary and dis¬ 
secting-room for the professor of veterinary medicine. In addition 
to these, levelling, surveying, and the measurement of land, form s 
portion of the out-door employment for a class of the students 
each day on the farm, 

Queenwood College, near Stockbridge, in Hampshire, is an es¬ 
tablishment of the same kind ; hut on a scale even more exten¬ 
sive. It seeks no pecuniary support from shareholders or donors ; 
but is supported entirely by the ices paid by the students, and the 
profits of the large farm to which it is attached. The building 
itself, the celebrated 44 Harmony,” was originally erected by the 
adherents of Robert Owen; and the fine farm of upwards of $DQ 
acres was taken by them, and by a large expenditure of money and 
skill was brought into a very admirable state of cultivation. Circum¬ 
stances, not pertinent to the present subject, having led to the break¬ 
up of that establishment, and to the dispersion of the peculiar secta¬ 
rians who founded it, the building and farm remained unoccupied 
for a considerable period, Mr, George Edmondson, JA gentleman 
who combines agricultural experience and science with scholastic 
knowledge, was induced to take a lease of both. In his hmub it has 
become one of the most admirable agricultural schools in Europe, 
and combines all the advantages of the best seminaries with the 
peculiar advantages of agricultural training to such as desire it, on 
a scale every way ns complete as the Hoy at College of Cirencester. 
Besides these, the Agricultural Training School at Iloddcsdon, the 
Agricultural and Grammar School of Kimbolton, and those of 
Maidstone and Kenningfon, founded for the same purpose, deserve 
a word of notice. All these, however, are schools for the rich. 
They are all eminently useful; and we doubt not, they will all 
prosper, and that many others will be instituted upon their model. 
What we should like to see, and wlmt we think the interests of the 
nation require, is the establishment of similar colleges or schools 
for the children of the poor. In the eirtmmstancca that menace 
society , it is not sufficient that such children should he drilled, us at 
present, in reading, writing, and arithmetic alone. They should be 
taught/ in all bur rural districts, to become good agricul- 
to make the barren earth yield food, and how 
to make the fruitful earth etill more fruitful than it is. 
Whether they remain at home, or \vhether they emigrate, such 
instruction is calculated to be of the highest value to them as indi¬ 
viduals, to the community of which they more immediately form 
part, and to the whole nation. It may be said of this country, as 
AL De Brouekcre, the Belgian Home Minister, said of Belgium at 
the great Agricultural Congress held last week at Brussels, that, 
although “renowned for our trade, agriculture has been the special 
leading point to our wealth and reputation ; nations far and near 
have learnt from us useful lessons and have profited by them. 
Helving too much on our former superiority, have we paid sufficient 
attention to the progress which has taken place around ns ? Has 
the march of improvement been follow ed up by us ? Are we even 
with it ? We dare not say we arc, but we c<m say that we are now 
shaking off that apathy and indifference/' As of Belgium, so of 
Great Britain in a higher degree. Their necessities may b© press¬ 
ing. but ours ore still more so. We have shaken oft our apathy. 
We have fully awakened to the great importance of the subject; 
and there is little doubt that, either by voluntary and personal 
exertion, or by Rarlminentary old, or by both means combined, the 
children of the poor will be made participators, to as large an 
extent as the interests of the community require, m the advantages 
of a practical and thorough training in agricultuml knowledge. 
It is a duty we owe to ourselves, as well os to them; and, for 
neither reason, can that duty be permanently neglected with 
safety. _

tliat th & German people tad to perfect freedom of election chosen the men who 
were to found the nutty of Fatherland, and to establish 1 liberty for all; that an 
unheard of attempt had been ma do to put down the National Assembly* which 
entertains the hope tlmt the German people will never suffer Its Independence to be 
threatened,; and that, come enemies from whatever side they may, the Assembly 
will over uphold its rights, and never abandon Its post until Germany has be¬ 
came united in a free constitution. This was an attempt, on the part of the Con- 
irtrvntlves to throw the entire blame of the late hnevte on tho whole body of the 
Radicals, though only a few had been compromised. 

Herr Stedmann, a member of the National Assembly, has left FrunVfort for 
Berlin and JkJileswJg-Hotetein* in order to act as the CommUgfoner of the 
Central Executive during the execution of the articles of the truce. 

On the 24th, a proclamation prohibiting BMethblages of the people liad 
been issued. The military were all day long encamped III the squares, ready to 
march on the shortest notice. The troops sent out to bring to order the envi¬ 
rons of Frankfort bad returned. The disarmament liad been enforced. In 
some pieces the house* had to bo searched; and In the village of Bockauholm 
Bomc of the bouses ha.fi to be stormed. 

PRUSSIA. 

In the sitting of the 21st, of tbc Constituent Assembly, the President rend 
a letter from General VonPfhel, announcing that he hail been entrusted by 
the King with the task of forming a new Ministry, and stating that the mem¬ 
bers nf the Cabinet would attend In, their places on the following day. Ac¬ 
cording to the official list, published on tho 2let, the now Ministry was to he 
composed as follows t —General Von Ho el, Minbifor-president and Minister of 
War; Eiehnmnu, Interior ; Von Bonin, Finance; the ilinistry of Foreign Af¬ 
fairs has bean given, ekfiflfrrfm* to Count Von Dbnh&fr'; the Ministry of Agrl* 
culture Ln entrusted to the Minister of the Interior ; and tlmt of Commerce, 
Industry, and Public Works to the Minister of Finance, The Ministry of 
Justice Is intrusted to Under-State-tfocretory Muller. 

It was hoped that tbo result of the £41 of the AuerawaM Ministry would 
have been tho nomination of a more liberal otic. From the tone of feu Jour¬ 
nals, it is evident, that General PfoePa Jlinisiry Is considered a$ tmo not likely 
to last. 

On the 22 nd, the now Ministry communicated its programme (couched in very 
vague terms) to the constituent Assembly. It is stated In it that the Ministers 
will oppose all reactionary imd anarchical tendencies; will uphold flies rights of 
the people and the Throne; and will expedite, oa far us It can, the drawing up of 
the Constitution. In reply to question* put to Ministers by Herr Kirchmaim, 
General Yon Ffual* the Premier (who is also Minister of WarL stated Hint the 
Appointment of General Wrangel a* Oommander-inChtef was made by 
a Cabinet order, signed by the then Minister of War; that the above- 
named General had received no special instructions ; that the appoint¬ 
ment of the General was a mere matter of discipline, us it was always cus¬ 
tomary to nominate a commander-En-chtef whenever different mmy corps were 
brought together; that the concentration of troops In and about Berlin had taken 
place because tlmt city was the central point of ail the railways; and the pre¬ 
sent state of affidrs In and out of Germany rendered military precautions neces¬ 
sary ; and dually, that he (the Minister) approved of tho army order Issued by 
Gonerat Wntngel on the JTfe Instant. Hon* Kirch tnanii expressed h is dissnttefac¬ 
tion ut the Minister's explanations, 

Gen. Von Wronged passed a review of the Prussian, troops on the 2 Oth at Berlin. 
The quarrels between the troops and the people are on the Increase, and arrests 
on both rides liavo been made. 

All the troops fn the capital have received orders not to leave their barracks at 
ail after nightfall. The non-commissioned officers hail been Instructed to ex- 
amino the cartrldgc-pouebos of their men. 

According to the latest accounts in the Cologne paper?, great excitement sttU 
prevailed at Berlin* and Bio popular ferment had been Increased by a rum our 
Of the King'31ntended flight from Berlin to Kdnlgsberg. Large meetings were 
holding at Breslau* the htad-quarter* of the Silesian Radicate, and violent ad¬ 
dressed to the National Assembly were being got up. hi fact, U appeared as If 
the Radicals of Germany were collecting all their forces to strike a grand blow 
for the purpose of effecting their sinister designs. At a meeting of ifrOOt) per¬ 
sona, which was held at BrCriau on the 2Ut Inst., one of the speakers I nil anted 
Ida audience by Informing them of tins Frankfort riots, In which he said the 
11 people * gained the day, nnd routed the ■* bra titled hirelings” (the Midlers), 
The city Of Cologne, too, had seme riots on the '25th Inst, In consequence of the 
police arresting some persons who wore accused of conspiracy, a mob assem¬ 
bled and liberated the prisoner a, after a smart scuffle with fee police, Some 
schoolboys made an attempt to construct a barricade with tho loose atones of tt 
pavement that was being newly laid, but the disturbance was effectually re¬ 
pressed by the Intervention of the Civic Guard. 

AUSTRIA. 

On the 18th hurt., a deputation from tho Hungarian Diet arrived at Vienna. 
It was charged with a mission, not for Urn Emperor* but for tho people—that is, 
the National Assembly. On the lutb, the President of the Assembly read u let* 
ter from the President of the Hungarian Diet, accrediting the deputation to the 
Austrian Assembly* Several deputies proposed that the deputation should bo 
received; but M, Rieger contended that the measure was contrary to the rules of 
tho House. The Tscheeh deputies also opposed tho motion in terms extremely 
offensive to Bis Hungarians. Tire President attempted several times to put the 
question to tlio vote, hut so violent a tumult arose that he was obliged to suspend 
the sitting during half an hour. Ultimately, when It resumed, It was (le- 
c ried that the deputation should not he received, but that its demands should be 
taken Into consideration. 

Accounts, dated the 19th, state that Baron da Wesscnibcrg* tho Austrian Mi¬ 
nister for Foreign Affairs* cannot agree with the British or French Ministers on a 
alngfe point With regard to the affairs of Italy. 

HUNGARY. 

Frcto Hungary there U no news of a certain character, except that the war 
with the Croatian*, under their energetic and victorious chief, JollaUcli, Is us 
for from a pacific settlement as ever. It was rumoured that the two cavalry 
regiments of the Kress and Hardegg Cuirassiers, Which were in Hungary, bad 
gone ever to JolluUch. The latest accounts from JPeafe mention the formation 
of the Hungarian Cabinet, which had not as yet received the Royal sanction: 
Count Balfeyany, President nf the Council; Alexander Ertlody, Foreign Af¬ 
fairs ; (for Vienna), GUIcsy Cckmaon, Finance j St, Klraly, Public Works; Cat- 
vos, Ecclesiastical Affairs; Barou Dyolna Kuinetiy (of Transylvania), Interior;

SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN, 

On the 22 d instant the conditions of tho Malmd armistice* as to the with¬ 
drawal of the German troops, had been nearly fulfilled. The Frankfort bat¬ 
talion, the only one which bad not rammed, was expected in Hamburgh on 
the 23d. The Hessian, Baden, and WHttcmburg troops were quartered In and 
about the city, and Ln the course of a day or two were to commence their 
route home wards. The WUrtemburgera end Hessians had already crossed the 
Elbe, and General N niter and his staff wore to leave ini mediately ; these 
troops return through Hanover and Brunswick by easy marches. 

At Hainburgh the cholera was on the decrease—9€8 cases had occurred, of 
which 396 proved fatal, and 182 had recovered. 

Great excitement prevailed In Fienshurg, and throughout the whole of 
Schleswig and Holstein, caused by letters of Count C. Moitke and of three men 
u of the same stamp n (Messrs. Jufoumsen, Paulsen, and Hansen) to the lnjutte- 
trates yfFlynsburg, by which the latter arc informed of Count .Moltke and his. 
companions having been inatmeted to enter upon the functions of n Provirional 
Government. Tho old Prcvtefonal Government immediately pit bite bed a procla¬ 
mation, Ln which they jjwtwit against the legality of Count MoltkeV mandate, 
and express tlielr determination "to arrest thy said pertOns (viz. MolUre, 
Johann sen, and Hansen) wherever they may bo found, nud to deal with them 
according to law/*

tion of several hours at Halifax, in ] l days and a half. 

The steam-ship Evropa, Capinln Lolt, however, has accomplished a ran not 
1 ess extraordinary; her ran outward, ad Halifax, having been made in the brief 
space of l \ dap and a few hours. 

The political accounts received by the Niagara contain few features of interest, 
cither In reference to the domestic cur foreign affairs of the United Staten. The 
accounts from Europe of probable deficient harvests had roused considerably 
attention on tho part of the holders of grain, and occupied, next to the Freri- 
deiitlnl question, the attention of commercial men. In reference to tho Presi¬ 
dency, there would seem to bo scarcely any doubt as to the election of General 
Taylor. 

For the present, tho evaporation of tho Irish rebellion bad stilted the voice of 
sympathy, 

MEXICO, 

Mexico, according to the latest accounts, continued tranquil; anti If but the 
union now again formed and announced between Yucatan and the parent fctaie 
bo cemented and maintained with constancy, that connexion, instead of weak¬ 
ening, may strengthen and sustain the contra] power. Tho Indians in the de¬ 
partments had been entirely subdued by the white population. 

INDIA. 

Intelligence In anticipation of the Overland Mall, dated Calcutta, Augnst 7 
Bombay, Aug. ft; and Madras, August 12, has been received this week. 

From Moolun, the oeat of the insurgent hostility*, the now? is encouraging. 
Lieutenant Edwardcs and Eite bravo companion# lh arms. Lieutenant Lake and 
General Cortland t, fog other with the Sikh forces under the Sheikh Emaracoden* 
had boon attacked, on the lit ef July, at flats village of Saduusum, by the whole 
available force of Detroit Wool raj. A smart action ensued, which tested up¬ 
ward* of nix houra, and resulted, like that of tho ISlti of Juno, in the total dis¬ 
comfiture of the MuoSburecs, Jluolrfd commanded in person, end sustained the 
nchon with consider able bravery, until a caanon-beU struck the howdali of his 
(slophftfit, and prostrated him In tlio dust, after which mishap he escaped on » 
hyr.w Into the cl tv of Modjtaat, uUdur tho walls of which the village of SadOQsam 
Ja situated, His ’followers Imitated the example! of (heir chief, iisul were imriy 
pursued by the Brltisli forces, who only relluqetehed their attack: on reaching 
rim gates of Moot urn. Four guns wefo captured on this oecnslon, with a loss to 
the British of obly 19 killed and 70 wounded. This sficotttl greet; success, at a 
season of tke year when Indian troops ere supposed to be Incapable of moving, 

\ 


had at last opened the eyes of those In auihorlty at Lahore ; and they had 
actually made up their minds to send a strung force to support Lieutenant 
Edwordea. 

The united forces of Edwerdes, Corthmdt, and our ally tho Knwonb, were, hy 
the last advfoe^, encamped not far from MoolUm, but w ere tumble to commence 
operations ogalnet the fort, owing lo a want of arltltery. A rofinisltfon for a 
sfoge train was forwarded to the Resident at Lahore, and bv him transmitted to 
Calcutta, In the meantime* a considerable force had eoUuaeneoa its march to 
the assistance of Edwardea. 

Lahore itself was perfectly tranquil. Two native soldiers Implicated In the 
lato cottapimey had been hanged; and considerable progress had been made 
Id tracing tho ram ideations of the pfot, to which It was ascertained that the 
Dewan MoolntJ had been privy for a great length of time* 

No symptom of * atepoaifluti to sympathirt with tlio rcvolfers had been mani¬ 
fested in any of the adjoining countries. InBcindc all was tranquil. In Affghaii- 
fftton, Dost Mahomed was reported to be planning an expedition against Balkh. 
From neither Scindo nor Fcxhawur have we any nows of interest 
From Bombay there w«s no nows of lmpurtcLnce. Sir K* Oliver, Commander- 
In-CJlicf and Superintendent of the Indian Navy, and Commodore John Pepper* 
acting naval storekeeper and senior officer of tho Indian navy* hud both died 
since the last mall. 

In Calcutta, the affaire of the Union Bank still seem tho exclusive object nf 
public attention. 

CHINA. 

Wo hitvo intelligence from Hong-Kong to July Her Majesty's steemor, 
Afcfoi from Shanghai, on tha 8th July, with hfa Excellency Governor Botehom 
on btaird* arrived in the forenoon of the xamo day, tuucliliig at the lower ports* 
General quiet prevailed at Canton and at the other port*. A prevailing sick¬ 
ness had been general amongst the garrison of the 95th Regimunt in particular, 
arising, probably, from the early and unusual beat; otherwise tho colony was 
generally healthy. 

CEYLON. 

Tire India moil brings dates from this Island to the l&rh of August. 

Some obnoxious fax regulations liave brought the native inhabitants lo a stato 
horderiug on one of general revolt. In consequence of a meeting which took 
place near Colombo, on the 2Gtho£ July* the military were called out, but* 
though serinua disturbances, were at one time unridpateu, the people were In¬ 
duced quietly to disperse. Gq the ‘29th a partial rising tovk pteen near the town 
of Mateile, which was put down by dotuchtnunts of the 15th Regiment imd the 
Ceylon Rifle* from Kandy, with the loss to the people of eight kilted and forty 
made prisoners. At Komegalle the, Kandians* to the numlier of 4000 mon, matte 
two attacks upon a party of the Ceylon Rifles there stationed. Both wore ro- 
palsod, the troops suffering a loss of one man killed and six wounded. Upon 
the station being reinforced* several prisoners w ere captured, including a person 
who, taking advantage of the disturbances* had duclored MnucLf heir to the 
throne of Kandy. A force bad arrived at Ceylon* by the Xady Mary Mfoocf and 
other steam era, comA*ting of her Majesty’s 2otii Regiment, and some Sepoy corps 
from Madras. 

The Chamber of Comrocrefl at Colombo have memoriahsed Lord Grey* 
ascribing the disturbances which have taken place in Ceylon to the new taxes 
wJtieh have been imposed* 

SOUTH AUSTRALIA. 

Advleos to Judo Hith represent the colony m progressing at gtent xtridea, and 
the mineral stores &f iho place becomo dally more and more developed. Rail¬ 
ways are once more agitated ; a more rapid and regular communication between 
Adelaide and tha port Is found to he Indispensably necessary. Offera of land for 
the terminus and port of the line art marie free, but money Id wonting; until tha 
monied and landed interest* of Adelaide are on butter terms, there is little pro¬ 
spect of the introduction of railways. 

POUT PHILIP. 

The Intelligence from Port Philip Is to Juno 21. Tire state of tho colony was 
most satisfactory. Great oxjiectatlons were formed as to the benefits to bo de¬ 
rived from separation. An encouraging prospect Is Opened, by tho intimation 
that Earl Grey, at the solicitation of Mr. A. Boyd, h&a been induced to send out 
20,000 emigrants to Sydney and Tort Philip, to arrive at the rate Of four ships 
monthly. It la said that Government lias contracted for 50 ships. These emi¬ 
grants ore to be equally divided between Sydney and Port Philip* Depute are 
to be formed through the colony to receive tho immigrants, numb ora of whom 
ere to bo forwarded when practicably along the coast by steamers; so that Fort 
Philip 1ms a prospect of receiving an addition to her population* during the next 
twelve months, of not less than 1D*DD0 souls, sent out at the entire tftponscof the 
British Government. Some continuation of this, however, la required. 

On May 30, Governor Flteroy conveyed a message to the Legislative Council 
at Sydney* to the effect that hte Excellency had received a despatch from Earl 
Grey, suggesting a scheme by which a sum might bo raised in tho colony (New 
South Wales) by the creation of a funded debt* for the purposa of carrying out 
a more extensive scale of Immigration rban is at present provided for. HLi 
Excellency remarked that on so Important a subject Ins deemed it necessary to 
give the earliest publicity j he would not press any specific measures for tho 
ennsfderation of the Council, as tho funds arising from territorial revenue at tho 
disposal of tho Crown were sufficient to provide for the continued supply of 
emigrants for some time to come. 

A company is in course of formation at Geelon g for the purpose of working tho 
mineral lode discovered there about three years ago. 

Sir Maurice 0'Connell, Commander-ln-Chief or the forces, expired At Sydney, 
an the morning of the sfith of Slay. Tho event lieu! been long looked for, 
although private arrangements had been made for hla immediate departure to 
Europe. 


BIRTHS, MARRIAGES, AND DEATHS, 

The following details are from the Ninth Annual Report of tha Registrar - 
General, Just published:— 

It appears that daring the yenr IS4U, to which Hie returns relate, there 
Were registered the fetid number of UfMiBt marriages* 572,Ga& births, and 
3MK31& deaths, Jo the previous year (isto), there were H3,713 marriages, 
543,621 births, and 343,^6 duaths. The execs* of births registered over deaths 
in England was, In the year 1*45, 101,165 ; In the year felfi, it w'os only 
1&2,3J0. Tho emigrants from tho United Kingdom, who numbered 03,501 In 
1845* increased to 120,951 in 1840. 

BiiTitfl.—The number of blftha registered Ju each of tho ftva yearn, 1842 to 
1840* were 517,735* 527,325, 540,7t^. 543,531, 372,635. Thu births in 1840 ex¬ 
ceed any number ever before registered. The increase is diffused over nJl 
Lbfl divisions, eacept tho eastern. Of 572,625 children born alive, 38*529—or 
19,736 boys* and 18,794 girla—w'ere, it appears* bom out of wedlock. Tho 
proportion of children born out of wedlock woa G-7 per cent. It waa LD in 
1845* and 6*7 m 1842, In 1845 and 1846 tho number of eases of twine, of 
triple, and uf quadruple birth, was distinguished. In 1840 the result* found 
were* that of 628,6110 married women, 523,313 genre birth to one living child, 
&34& to twins, 27 to triplcta, while one woman had four living children* Of 
38,230 women who bore children out of wedlock, 37*034 bora a single living 
child, 293 had twins, and throe had trlplels. The proportions were* of mar¬ 
ried women who bore children, 1 in 588,690 had 4 children, 1 in 19,581 had 
3 children, 1 In 99 had twins ; of unmarried women* l in 12,743 women had 3 
children, and 1 in 131 h&d twins, 

MAKaiaufcs*— 1 The number of persons married In tho five years, 1942—1846, 
were 237,650* 247,636* 264,498* 287,486* 29 J,328; tho excess in 1846 over tho 
numbers married In 1842 was 53*678, which Is nn increore uf nearly 23 percent.* 
or, correcting Jor increase of population, IQ per cant. The number of woeuou 
living between tho ages of 15 and 45 wma 3,812,651 In 1841; and, judging from 
tho analogy of other countries, about 2,000,090 of tlie number were unmarried* 
It Is evident that Ihe true tendency to marriage la expressed by tho proportion 
the marriages in a year bear to the unmarried women In that year. But the 
marriages In 1844 and 1845 were much above the average i the proportion of un¬ 
married women left in 1846 would, therefore* be less than the average. Tho fol¬ 
lowing further particulars as to the holy state of matrimony are very curious and 
interesting In 18 lit the total number of marriages celebrated according to fee 
rites of the EetaWished Church, was 139,509; the number not according to tins 
rites of the Established Church was lb* 155. Of tho tim-named* 14 were by 
special licence, 17,135 were by licence, 92*995 by banns* 1802 by Supurinteiutem- 
Kegistraris certificate, and in,503 “nut rtufod by which Of the foregoing forms/ 1 
Of the marriages not nccoititiig to the EatablLshed Church, there were, in re¬ 
gistered places Of worship, 10,696 (of which 3027 were in Homan Catholic 
chapels, and 7869 In fen chapels nf other denominations ); 4167 in Superintendent 
Registrar’s office* GS tpiukers, and 224 Jews. The number of men married (In 
1846) who were not of age, was 6313; of women, 20,00! ♦ The widowers who re¬ 
married wci e i a ,313; the wldowtr, I % 128. The m en who, hei tig ituablfl to wi Ite 
tfcicir own mimes, fdgngti with marks, were, 47*4*18; the .women not loss 
than 70,1451 Tho ago at which the greatest numofer nf marriages taken place, 
both af liimi and women, is from 2U to 25 years. T hen 20*519 bachelors married 
tho same number of npinsfera; 871 bachelors married widows^ 1970 widowera 
married spinsters j 996 widowers married widows* Three women were led to the 
alter between fee mature fore of 75 and 80; 2 between 70 and 75 (whereof one 
found a i*artner of less ago titan 3d>; and 5 between 65 and 70. Of the men, 
20 wore married between 66 and 70; 7 between 70 and 76 (ono of whom married 
a woman of l«da a®e timn 25); and 4 between 75 and 8U years of age. 

Des-tus.—T ho nniobtir of deaths restlrierod ha 1846 won 390 , 315 , which Is a 
greater number by 40,949 than was rcglsterod in 1845; and implies* higher rule

ST. KITTS, 

AbVtott have been received by the Royal mall packet, Tevivt, of a most dlsas* 
troua hurricane In the middle of August, by which Antigua, St, Kitts, and Novi* 
were devastated, St. Thomas also feeling Its effects. At Antigua and St. Kitts 
there has been no inch loss of life and property for nearly twenty yearn; neither 
tho hurricane of 1535 nor the earthquake of 1843 being attended with such de¬ 
plorable results. 

During the latter part of the Hist of August deeds were seen at Antigua 
gathering from all directions* and hanging motionless: the beat was terribly 
oppressive, tut, as the barometer did not indicate anything particular, a lime 
rain and thunder only were expected, Tbo redness of the sky and eddies of 
wind at sunset occasion ad anxiety- In the night tho wind increased .and a storm 
was then anticipated. Every preparation was rapidly mode to mitigate Its dira 
effects. At cloven p.h. the darkness was Impenetrable, and tho tempest was ap¬ 
proaching: up to this period the mercury hod only fallen, however* one-troth of 
an inch. At midnight tho wind raged furiously! lightning and thunder 
wore incessant, accompanied by floods of tain. At this time a savere shock of 
earthquake was felt, attended by very heavy gusts. The gale con tinned tfl m- 
creasc until Its forco was perfectly terrific. By half-post one the morcury had 
fallen four-tenths of an Inch, and the storm at this time was dreadful. By two 
a. at, it had abated* and towards morning the day dawned os calmly *3 de ¬ 
ments had been &t peace, and the spirit of destruction hod. not Trean disturbed ; 
but on looking abroad cm the 22A, too Island which had bean studded with neat 
structures and populous villages appearedwa a wi*te of rubbish and ruin. It W 
believed that the south and west part of the Island experienced the wind much 
more than tho north side. In the old road division the devastation ™ Im¬ 
mense, The villages ot Dobell's and Johnson** Point were destroyed. Tho 
churches of St. Mary, St* Luke, and St. FblUp were more or less Injured: soma 
of the rectory-houses were destroyed. The Moravian Mission establishment at 
St. JohnX Grace Bay, and Cedar Hail* more or less suffered. Soma of the vU- 
lngea were completely destroyed. At this part of thn island they had early no¬ 
tice of the hurricane by an extraordinary swell of the sea. The injury to plan¬ 
tation property baa been extremely serious* 

In English Harbour the injury to public and private property Is very series. 
The governor has suffered a great loss of property* In the dockyard oli toa 
buildings were destroyed: soldiers' barracks were ratoed* the Middle Ground 
Buildings thrown into the sea. Government lose in English Harbour Jjonjja 
£25 *m Wesleyan Chapel and Lady Grey's School were levelled, and Monks- 
hill Barracks destroyed. Throughout the blond SOW buildings are unroofed, 
and 700 totally destroy®!. By far the greater portion of tlieso are the cottages 
of the labouring Classes* In the harbour several vessels were either damaged 
severely or totally destroyed. , ^ t u 

A email sloop, blown from Montserrat, arrived at Antigua in safely. Tha 
hurricane did not extend to Barbuda, The number of lives lost is said to be 30, 
Authentic accounts of eighteen had been received, immense numbers of cattle 
and stack of all kinds have beau destroyed. The largest trees wore tom up by 
the roots, and hotures were lifted 2 b yards from their foundation. 

At St, Kitts, the hurricane commenced at the same time os at Antigua- ino 
moon changed strangely* the barometer foil, and toe skies were unusually bril¬ 
liant. At about four o'clock on tho rooming of the 22nd r tho hurricane was at 
Its height. During the night shocks of an earthquake were felt. In BtiLmall 
(square, Irish Town* and New Town* the spectacle after tho atom was awful. As 
fer the country, it presented, after the hurricane, a most desolatei appearance, 
as if tlie almooin of the desert bad swept over it* The canes which wore strfpt

Several vessels in harbour were destroyed, and the crews, in many instances,

The hurricane was felt at Nevis down to St, Thomas. At St* Thoma^thn 
West India Company's steamers Mtdwy and EagU rode out the huriicane, with 
the assistance of the moorings* and by dropping two anchors, A French ship 

of 360 teas was wrecked, crew saved, _, 

In Jamaica matters remained in about the same state as by last accounts. 
The House of Assembly had passed the Address in answer to Governor Grey a 
speech with one amendment* In which regret la expressed at the calling to¬ 
gether of the Assembly* because It was feared the opportunity so anxiously

LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER m, 1343, 


against it, employing tho very same means as were employed by 
the Socialists and Communists of the French capital against the 
French National Assembly in the fearful days of Jtme, The 
Frankfort insurrection was, however, more easily suppressed. The 
troops of Austria and Prussia were called to tho defence of that 
singular legislative body which was instituted for the object of 
putting an end to the individuality of each of them ; and by their 
ready co-operation, the insurrection of the German “Mountain” was 
suppressed after a two hours’ conflict in the streets. The loss 
of life was not great in mere numbers \ but the assassination by tho 
insurgents of Prince LychuowskJ and Major Auers wold, two of 
th© most distinguished members of the Assembly, has given a cha¬ 
racter of atrocity to the struggle, winch lias rendered it quite ua 
deplorable as the more protracted conflict of the Farisiuus. In 
Germany, too, m in France, thy excesses of the extreme party have 
caused a strong reaction \ mid the day-dream of some of the fore¬ 
most men of Germany-—the unity of their Fatherland—has fallen 
almost into us much disrepute among moderate men, who desire 
order and law, as the best and indeed only foundationa of real 
liberty, as the “ Democratic” and Social Republic has Men into 
in France, 

Tho whole interest of the French crisis of the past week has been 
centered in the doings of M, Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, Happily, 
the crisis, unlike some of Its predecessors, in this age, when crises are 
as plentiful as blackberries, has been, though an anxious, a peace¬ 
able one. Louis Napoleon baa been quietly allowed to take 
his seat in the National Assembly, and has read from the tribune 
a short and well-judged, but by no means remarkable speech. This 
personage has an exceedingly difficult game to play. He has 
allowed his name to be used by parties who make a tool of him 
for their own purposes, not for his; and he has ambition enough of 
his own, as those flash-iu-thc-pan invasions of Strasburg and 
Boulogne testify, to shut his eyes against the unwelcome truth that 
his popularity, such as it is, is not personal and original, but tradi¬ 
tionary and secondhand. If he plays no part at all in the Assembly 
or in the streets, such prestige as his name has given liim will be 
lost. H; on the contrary, he attempt to tarn that prestige to ac¬ 
count, and intrigue either for the Emperorship or Presidentship, it 
is equally certain that the game will bo a losing one for him, and 
an exasperating one fur die great bulk of the French nation. His 
wisest course will be to give a sincere and hearty support 
to General Cavaignac and the moderate Republic. If he have any 
of tho stuff in him out of which great men are made, that alone 
will be tho mode in which he can show it to advantage for himadf 
or Ills country. The French know his ambition. They have yet to 
leam Ids ability, without which bis ambition will be hut an edged 
tool in unskilful bands to do himself an injury. General Cavaiguac 
has, we think, acted with true prudence and" correct judgment in 
allowing him to take his seat unchallenged. To have forbidden 
him, would have been to persecute him; andto have persecuted him 
would have been to aid him to climb into that pre-eminence of tem¬ 
porary triumpJi, which would have led to civil war and the long 
train of its consequent and inevitable evils. At the same time, 
every precaution has been taken, not against the individual merely, 
but against the parties thai might make use of his name and posi* 
tion to create disturbance. There is reason to believe, that the 
next insurrection, when it does occur, will have some other name 
and pretext thou Bonapartism. 

The melancholy death of Lord George Bentinck has filled the 
public with grief and regret. There was so much manly honesty 
in his character, such chivalrous gallantly in the battle he fought 
in defence of a falling cause ; lie was such a sturdy friend to, and 
such an admirable representative of, the national love of fair-play ■ 
and he combined in his own person so many of the virtues that the 
people of this country are most accustomed to honour, that his 
untimely death has excited an amount of sympathy and sorrow far 
beyond his real importance either os a public or a private indi¬ 
vidual. We have given elsewhere an account of bis life and career, 
and of the circumstances attending his decease. There seems 
reason to think that the removal of his Lordship from the stage of 
politics, unhappy under every personal aspect as it must be con¬ 
sidered, will never the lm be the means of promoting a fusion of 
political parties, Under his bold and daring leadership, the party 
which he kept together was prevented from amalgamating with 
those under whose abler auspices it had so long acted. There is 
none to supply his place; and his followers will doubtless 
drop gradually into the ranks from which they seceded, when 
Sir Robert Feci announced bis determination to repeal the Corn- 
Laws. To Mr. Disraeli and the few who think with 
him, that old traditionary influences form the only safe inspiration 
for political men, and tha! ponies are far more important than the 
people whom they strive to govern, the fusion of dissevered friends 
likely to result from this catastrophe will, probably, appear an eviL 
To us, while we deeply sympathise with the personal deprivation 
which his party anti the country have suffered, the probable result 
upon the affairs of the nation appears in a different light. If there 
be parties in tho Legislature, we think two parties ore better 
than three. The Hue of demarcation between them is more cosily 
drawn. Wo know better what each means and what each can do. 
But a powerful third party, now swaying to the one, and now in¬ 
clining to the other, hushut too often the effect of maintaining tt 
weak and disunited Government tn office, while the country de¬ 
mands it strong and unanimous one. Such a eonrii Jou of parties 
is not desirable even for parties themselves, to say nothing of the 
national interests involved in their struggles. Without a leader, u 
party mast fall; and we cannot see the materials out of which a now 
leader is to he formed for the party of Protection,

parative anatomy, on perspective, aud on the phenomena of mlnra in relation 
to landscape pointing. Tills, however, was only a portion of the scheme which 
the scliuols embraced and proposed to carryout. But it was to be hoped that 
tire society would receive credit for having effected so much towards the esta¬ 
blishment of an important public school, edmost wholly by tiiolr own resources, 
and without dd from the Government or tire public. After a speech from Mr. 
Wise, the business Of tho evening terminated,

great extent inoffensive, that they should be carried on ua much as possible: 
in the daytime, particularly where the traffic was not likely to be much inter¬ 
fered with.—Mr. Kemp sold, If tills rcconimuudutioii wore acted upon, they 
*houId render thcnMielves liable to a penalty Under the Act, which expressly 
provided that these operations should not be carried on between the hours of 
live in the morning and eleven at night.—Mr. Huy wood sold that tire Act re¬ 
ferred to tho emptying of cesspools by night carta. Tha present process, how- 
over. yem wholly Inoffensive,—Mr. Blake and other cemmifitionere concurred 
in this view of the. ease-“Mr. Deputy Comoy Inquired whether this sewage 
matter, m It was all deodorised, would net ba extremely valuable as a mu- 
nnre T and whether persons might not be found who would be glad to hike It 
away at tbeir Own expense? This would be much preferable tn carrying it 
all into the Thames,— Mr. Heywtiod said that, no doubt, when tills matteT was 
prepared and reduced to a highly concorrimted state, it became extremely use¬ 
ful as a manure ; but in ita pretent condition it was nut so valuable that any 
one would remove It without being paid. The report was at length received* 
and ordered to be entered on the minutes,—The various accounts Were then 
audited and agreed to, and the court adjourned.

Docks, and to transfer the powers of tire Commissioners to a corporate body, to 
be called the trustees of the Birkenhead Deck;" Mr, Wtilfom Ellice in tho

certain the opinions of the bondholders respecting the propriety of conferring on 
the trustees a power of raising the sum of £50,000, to ire devote d to tire com¬ 
pletion of certain works, whoso construction would enable thorn to derive a re¬ 
venue from tire undertaking. Until these works wore formed there was no pos- 
Hibillty of tiiolr obtaining any rotnrn upon the largo suuis already invited. 
Their plant of stock and muterlaMf brought into tire market, would certainly 
produce u Large stun, but It would be sold at a grout sacrifice—probably at Intif 
what it waa worth—mid the trustees had, therefore, thought their most prudent 
course to be tbs one they had adopted, of asking from tho bondholders this fur- 
thur sum, for w hich. In ills opinion, very ample eucurlty wtw given,—Sir I. L. 
Goldmnid moved a resolution to ihe effect that power he given to tire trustees to 
grant preferential mortgages on the rates and tolls of the dorks for a sum not 
exceeding £50,D0ih .Mr. J. Bailey, juiu, M,F,, seconded the motion. 
The resolution, passed urnuiimously, a motion was also carried, to Die effect 
that the proceedings of the meeting bo trimsntitted to each bondholder, who 
should be requested at the aaure time to intimate whether he was desirous of 
taking any portion of tire preferential bonds, and to what amount. The 
meeting then separated.

character, free from those peculiarities which Wore generally imputed to the 
Inhabitants of the Stales, and distinguished by a warmth of hospitality which 
would make tho emigrant aJ most forget that he was far from home. Lured

modes of preparing It for cultivation wore of tho simplest description. There 
was plenty of It lobe had in All states, from wild nature to perfect Cultivation,

sands, tiud Its transfer was quite free from those legal technicalities which were

DEATH OP LORD GEORGE BENTINCK* 

In the Postscript to our Journal Of last week, we communicated to our readers tha 
Atflietinp Intelligence of the death of Lord George Ron thick, second surviving 
uf hU Grace the Duke of Portland* of Wclbock Abbev, near Workaop* Notis, 
Tljotndartcholy aftnouneomentwaa received in the metropuliaon Friday morning* 
with a deep scusatlou of regret hi every circle. Its nudderrea.sa wan, indeed, bj> 
palling- Cf all tbe public characters of the day, thorts was no one of whom wo 
loss thought to hear thts painful Intelligent l:. Young, energetic* confident, 
hopeful* pcraeverlng* and entering into new antagonisms every day* his Lord- 
ship wsw commencing, as it accrued* a long aiut vigorous career. M There Is too 
much reason.” wys a eontemi>orury, “to fear that three sessions of uvcrwhelm- 
ing toll have worn and torn the fibre that promised otherwise a green eld jige. 
Tlic mail whose heart was with huntsman and hound, the racer unci the starting- 
post, under same strong and almost unaccountable impulse, devoted himself for 
three ytiara to days of calculation and nldit* of debate, to tha slutly of btoe- 
bookn* to the investigation of arithmetical errors and moral Inconsistencies. 
Sox throe years he sustains the unequal strife, and Then sinks in a moment as 
he treads the springy turf and breathes the balmy air of liis first boyish haunts 
on his father’s domain. 1 ’ 

The circumstances connected with tlilA morimfuJ event have been thua related 
with minute accuracy (as wo have learned from inquiry in the neighbourhood) 

In the Shcifidd Tdnts of Saturday:— 

" His Lordship was found dead in afield near Wei beck, at 20 minutes past 11 
on Thursday night. The first Intelligence of the shocking event reached us yes¬ 
terday in the forenoon* by our reporter* who heard of the circumstance in'the 
morning While it I tot her ham. From an Intimation there received he made some 
inquiries at the Crown Inn* and learnt that the sail tidings had reached there 
during the night* by a man servant from Welbeck. who had driven over with a 
horse and gift to meet tho 3.44 a.m* down train at Masbro'* in order to convoy a 
special me&suge to Edinburgh, to Lord George's younger brother, Lord Htuiry 
Bentlnck, who WW on a shooting excursion in Scotland. 

** Tbe account; giren by the messenger during his brief sfoy at the Grown Inn 
was to ihe following effect %—On Thursday afternoon. Lord George Bontiduk* 
having been invited to dine at Thoresby Park, the seat of Lord Manvers, started 
on foot and afone from Welbeck, intending to go across the fields to Thoresby 
Park—a distance of about five miles, His Lordship's valet was at the same 
time despatched with n horse and rig, to take forw ard a change of drafts for his 
master. His Lordship dM not Arrive al Thoresby at the appointed hour, and in* 
qulrfes wore therefore made of the valet as to tho cause of the delay. He said 
that before he set off he saw Lord George Duiitinck crossing Welbeck Pnrk* 
and that lie afterwards saw him In a field between two and three miles on tho 
road to Tliorusby* 

“ After waiting some time, as Jtia Lordship did not arrive, the valet dW 1 ? hack 
to Wei beck, to sec whether Lord Gtsorgo had returned home; but finding that 
his Lordship was not there, ho drove hock npin lo 'flioresby, thinking that by 
that time he might have arrived, Apprahcnstoni that all wus nnt right now ive* 
gan to he entertained* and servant* waro dlspatehtil In all directions In search of 
Ids Lordship. The volet proceeded along the footpath in tbe way to Wei bock, 
and on approaching a gate he observed, a human body lying motionless upon the 
ground. On «olng close to It he Jhscorcred that It wrb the hotly nf hfo master, 
Lord George Bentlnck, and that life was totally extinct.' 1 

The reiHJrtcr then proceeded to Welb&ck Abbey, where he received from Mr. 
Kilk, the Duke of Fortiand's steward, and Mr. Gai'dincr, Lord George Bon- 
tinok's voJet, the following particnlars 

I^ord George* wiilt the intention of spending a few dam at Thmesby Park * the 
«ent of Earl Hunvora, startefl, fin Thursday, from Wolbeck* on foot, u t four 
o'clock In the aftern oon, tu w alk through Wei beck Park and across Sherwood 
Forest to Thoresby* distant by tho foot*read about five miles. Before Getting 
out ho gave Ms vulat n number uf letter# to seal for post, after doing which he 
wag to drivu over to Thnrt&hy, In time to assist Lord George to drert for dinner. 
Tbe valet, accompanted by a groom ,«t out soon after his Lerdsldp* bm by a 
different route; tmd, at a distance of about a mlla and a IioK from Wdheck* in 
the park, ha was enabled to see Lord. George, who was walking forward at n 
very brwk pace; so brisk, Indeed, tttat tho valet told the groom to drive quicker* 
or they would be beaten by the pedestrian. The vakt* on read In; Tboreaby* 


announced that Ms master was on hfo way; he wan expected shortly 
after flve O'clock; but falling that* and not reaching Thoresby by the 
nsuol dinner-hour, Earl Munvcra and family* after wilting a conside¬ 
rable time, sat down without their expected guest. The valet naturally Felt 
m>uie uneasiness at the non-arrival of tits master, and tho only conjecture ho 
could form was that his Lordship had been followed by a messenger, conveying 
intelligence of importance, which had Induced him to return to Wtdbeck. At 
nine o'clock* Lnrd George wee still absent. The valet, at tho direction of Lord 
Manners, then drove bock to Welbock, to ascertain tho cause of the unexpected 
dr lay. Having learnt foam the steward that nothing had been seen nr heard of 
ala Lordship since Ills departure, tho valet caused three or four grooms to take 
each a lantern and walk Out into tha park, where he Joined them- He then di¬ 
rected them to proceed towards Thoresby In a certain direction* mud Mrosdf, aceoro- 
pariied byono man* proceeded across the park in the direction oft he road which he 
knew hi* Lordship had taken. It was now about 12 (/clock. The volet and his 
companion, each with a hmiem, carefully searched the path oa they walked 
through the park* hut ineffectually. When they had got clear of the park, and 
had passed through a gate leading into n grass-field* at tho hack of the village 
of Norton* the valet* being In the rear of his companlnn, stumbled; over an ob¬ 
ject extending to the edge of the footpath* arid on throwing down a stream of 
light, they were horrified at beholding Lord George, perfectly motionless, lyinig 
on bis face among the long grass. He wau quite dead, and appa¬ 

rently had been so for rome hours. One bond grasped tightly a largo 
walking-stick, and fn the other there was a quantity of grass. HL» 
hat was lying a little In advance. Judging from the appeanmea of tho sur¬ 
rounding grave* he had never moved after falling* He was quite free from 
any external indications of violence. Ills watch, still going, won in his pocket 
his pocket-book and betting-book wore undisturbed* and he hod about Ms person 
a considerable sum of money. In abort* it was quite clear to the valet that h& 
and Hie groom were the first who had approached the body In its lonely rcetlng- 
pfotre. It was twenty minutes past eleven o'clock when the shocking discovery 
was made. 

Mr. Gardiner, the valet* having got all the moo about him* despatched them in 
various directions for medical aid. He ivonld not allow the body to be disturbed, 
but stood by It till the arrival of Mr, Henry Hose, of Worksop, surgeon. After 
that gentleman bml examined She corprto ( It was removed to Welbock M u dra£. 

Mr* Hose conjectured lliat hfo Lordship had boon attacked by apoplexy, or 
some affection of the brain, which had caused Instant death, Uia dhusulutiDn 
iuu»t have followed very closely upon the first attack* for his Ufatexs body 
was found not more than half a mite beyond the point where the valet had 
observed his Lordship, apparently in perfect baaltli. 

Until within a fortnight past* Lord George was thought to bo suffering in 
health to acme extent* from over-strenuous exertions lu Parliament. Jte was, 
on the course at Donate!or Races, however, a portion of each day in tbe pre¬ 
vious week; and* having continued to abstain from excessive mental labour* 
ho appeared to haro recruited his strength considerably, 

Thu intelligence* of the afflicting catastrophe was withheld from the Duke of 
Portland for some time* under tho belief that his Grace’s constitution (for lie is 
now in his eightieth year) would be unable to sustain the severity of tbe shock. 
The venerable Duke was stricken with the most absorbing grief when the me¬ 
lancholy intelligence was communicated to him* He secluded himself lu bis 
private apartment, and was not for some time seen by any one rave, hi* own 
children. 

A telegraphic despatch was sent to the Marquis of Tltchfleld, tbe beir to the 
dukedom, who was In London. Expresses were also sent to Lord Henry Ben¬ 
tlnck, who la ju Scotland on a shooting exeurflon; and to Lady Charlotte and 
J. E. Denison, Era., M.P., who were In Lancashire. 

It Is stated lu the XoUingh&m Journal that Lord George BeUti nek was severely 
attacked, two months ego by pleurisy* the effects; of which were atilt vhlbte after 
he was considered to have recovered from tha attack. His medical adviser in 
town had repeatedly remonstrated of 1 ate with him on account of his dead and 
continuous application to study when preparing for Ms speeches In 
Parliament, and distinctly warned Jilm* that If ho persevered hp would ‘ 
be perilling his life. Hie Lordship had been known on several occasions; 
to shut himself up In his room for twelve or thirteen bottrs consecu¬ 
tively, preparing for hfo conflicts lu tbe House of Commons. An 
ulteration, in his manner* as well as in hfo bodily appearance, hnd been observed 
for some months past by his servants. He was very much cxcJted at the Don * 
caster ftucre, in the previous week, especially towards the close and w hen leav¬ 
ing the stolid. This was accounted for by his friends from the foci* as we are 
assured* of Ms having won jtmOOO at the St, Leper. It Is no secret among the 
members of the Turf* that Lord George was* conjointly with Lord Cliftkii and 
Mr. Mofityn* proprietor of SurpMe, the horse that won both the Derby and the 
St. Leger. Since the conclusion of the Doncaster Races, the nobio Lord lind 
been residing with Ma father at WeHwck Abbey, 

THE INQUEST. 

On Saturday Tnorning* at elei,'fiu o’clock* Mr, Ealkner, of Newark* one of the 
cpTOoera for the county* opened his court at Wolbeck Abbey, and proceeded 
to inquire into the cause of the death of Lord George Bentlnck. 

A Jury of gentlemen formers having been sworn, tho body of deceased waa 
Inspected, Death had left no painful trace upon the features of the departed 
nohloman ; a cheerful smile wafi diffused over the firce. 

The first witness rolled woe— 

William Forks* who said: I have been in the re wire of the Duke of Port¬ 
land nearly seven years, as lady's footman, T always watted at breakfost, and saw 
Lord Georga every mnniing when he wow at Welbeck. He came there on Mon¬ 
day* tha nth Inst.* from town. He went -cveral times to Poncastet during the 
races last week; 1 be! fore, fou r days. Ho always breakfasted nt h erne, J1 o was 
always at beune at night to dinner. 1 wafted at dinner, I never saw him in 
better healtii or spirits than since be last came homo. On Thursday morning 
lost he ate a good break fasti and was In vary good spirits; he breakfasted with 
tho Duke of Portland* Sfr William Sytaond?* and Lady Harriet Bentinck. Ha 
took no luncheon. He remained at imme till about 20 minutes past 4 o'clock in 
the afternoon, when ha ret out to walk to Tboreaby, where he was going to stay 
two days with Lord aTauvers. lu the morning of Thursday he was occupied lu 
his dressing-room writing letters. 

Richard Ifonthill r L am the helper In flic stables at Welteek. On Thursday 
last, about five minutes past four, 1 started with a gig from Welbcck to Thoresby 
with Mr. Gardner* vafet to Lord George Bentlnck, On the read Mr. Gardner 
drew toy attention to his Lordship, and, on turning round* I saw Mm walking 
the Reindeer-park corner* by tho footpath, towards Thoresby. I never saw 
tlm afterward* alive. 1 went forward to Thoresby. His Lordship never reached 
there. I left his Lordship's valet at Thoresby, and returned with the carriage to 
Wdbeck. I was rolled cut of bed at night, and asked if 3 hud seen Lord George 
on my way home, as be had not reached Thoreuby. T got up, and, along with 
the gardener and George Wilson, went to reoreh for his Lordship, We took 
lauthorns with us* mid followed m tbe foot-road 1 had seen him taking. We 
found the body of hfo Lordship lying close lo tho gate which separates Kennel 
Water-meadow. Ho was quite doud and lying on his face. Ills hat was a yard 
or two before him, having evidently been Thrown off to falling. He w as lying 
Hoi upon bis face, end one of his arms was under him. I left the men with the 
body, and immediately started for Mr. Hose, < f Worksop* surgeon. 

Corroborative evidence to iho same effect having been adduced, 

Mr. J, Shfrtey Mills, assistant to Mr. Wiml, of Wcllow, surgeon, deposed : l 
was not acquainted with Lord George Ekuutork* and never »aw him alive. I 
was sent for on Thursday night, ami was at Welbcck when tho t*Hly of Lord 
George Beutinck was brought there. It wu«s then about two o’clock. Life hod 
been extinct sotub hotire. I was present when his Lordship's clothes werrf^e- 
moved. There were no cstcrnaJ marks cf violence, except a considerable con¬ 
tusion about the left eye. It was such a contusion as would be produced by a 
fall, Tho bridge of tile nose was also injured a little* anti the left side of tho 
tongue appeared to be Injured by the teeth- There was also some extravasuted 
blood under the skin of the chest, ami the right side. His pockets were opened 
in tny presence, end in them was £13 Mis. in gold, and j£l Ss. 4d. In silver* and 
to his pocket-book there wus a cheque for TUW and two notes, besides other 
papers. I was told that there was uUo a promissory note for £3U0b, but that l 
did not sec. HU betting-book, his gold pencil, and gold w&tch and chain, were 
also found in hbf poekefe. Ho had two valuable rings on hie Angers. I havo 
this morning Euakted JTr. Ward In making a jWMf mortem examination of the 
head and body. From that examination I am of opinion that he died from a 
violent spasm of tho heart. Wo found the organs of the body generally healthy, 
with tho exception of the right lung, of which there were adhesions to the side. 

Mr, W. S, Ward* of Wallow, surgeon : 1 have known Lord G. Bentinck many 
years* and when in the country* wjw his regular medical attendant; but I had 
not seen him store he came from town last. 1 hnvc this day opened the laxly* 
and am of opinion that ho died from spaam of tho heart. There wits very litite 
food in the stomach* but there was nu morbid appearance beyond congtsfkm, 
wMch prevailed over the whole system. Them was emphysema of tbe lungs* 
and old adhesions from former diseases. The heart was large and muscular, 
and covered with fat. It contained no blood, and bOFC tho appearance of irre¬ 
gular contraction. 

A Juryman inquired as to the ittoto of the brain of the deceased? 

Mr, Ward: It was perfectly healthy, with the exception of a little venous con- 
gestimi fn about the Mine ratio os the other organa. 

The Coroner read over the depositions of the witnesses, and the Jnry Imme¬ 
diately returned a verdict that his Lordship had died by the visitation nr God* to 
wit, of a apoaiu of the heart —Tha inquest concluded shortly after two o'clock. 

The remains of Lord G. Benttock. were to U- reTnovcd to town, prepHratorv 
tc inieraieut hi tho bimily vault at Man lubatic Old Chureh. which la aurroumle'ij 
by tho Porlliuitl estate. The vault already contains tilt: reuiulna of the Ducltess

or promotion, he feting 
from tho army altogether 
by the sole of hte commis¬ 
sion, His Lordship Im¬ 
bibed an early indication 
for field and other na¬ 
tional spom* and for a 
considerable period evinc¬ 
ed all that active energy 
for the chase which he 
afterwards transferred to 
its more costly companion 
—the lurf. The latter was 
a pursuit which eventu¬ 
ally worked equally to hia 
own fame* and the ad¬ 
vantage of the sport he no 
warmly affected. The 
strength of his Lordship's 
stud was at one time 
enormous: In the year 
1844 he had forty heroes 
running in public, and 
somewhere near a hun¬ 
dred in all. Amongst the 
more celebrated of his 
horses may be named 
Gray Mourns, Cradflx* 
Naworth, Plato, Misdeal, 
Croton Oil, and Gaper, 
It Is not* however, as a 
mere owner of rare-horses 
that we would allude to 
Lord George's connexion 
with ttinttuf. As a re* 


former of its abu*s Ids name will live as long as Englishmen have a taste for 
the amusement, or an admiration for one who effected what a whole body 
found themselves unequal to attempt. His stringent and admirable drawn up 
rujea for the exclusion of defaulters ftom the race-courses* and the spirit with 
which he supported the regulations he mode, have left the rating world greatly 
hla debtor* and those whom It more directly concerned expressed their gratitude 
for his services by the offer of a ttt&mntal. This, however* hfo Loixtohlo do 
cllncd \ and In Its place was substituted the "Bentinck Benevolent and Fro video 
Fund,” with tiio money subscribed for the offering originally Intended to be made 
to his Lordship, This ftmd la established for tho benefit ef trainers and jockeys, 
their widows and children, under the pTovlsimiHJ management of the Dukes of 
Beaufort, Bedford, and Rutland, Earl* of Chesterfield and Eglinton* and the 
Hop, G, L. Byug. This event, followed shortly by hti retirement from the turf, 
has left to the public his favourite sport relieved from many of Its evils* and 
rostered to It a character it never should have lost. 

Lord George Bontlnck had sat about nineteen years for Lynn before he vu at 
all known to the public as a political character. He was friendly to tho general 
principles of tho Reform Act, but Opposed Ministers on ooveilU details in Com¬ 
mittee. Ho was next a silent supporter of Sir Robert Peel's Administration* 
hiking no active part to politics, but pursuing with characteristic energy hla 
pursuits on tho turf. On tho introduction of Free-Trade measures by Sir R. 
Teel, Lord George, with that spirit and ability which Invariably characterised 
all his actions, turned his attention exclusively to polities, and was one of tho 
bitterest opponents the Free-Trade party over had to contend with. It wm the 
flvento of the. year 1840 that first brought into play the latent energies of Lord 
George Bi3i]tinck r s character. In common with the ConseriiBtlve party in 
general, he had given an open and cordial support to those measures of financial 
and commercial reform which signalised the early years of Sir Robert Feel’s 
administration. Other public men* of ull parties, bad long seen In those mea¬ 
sures the recognition of principles which must, sooner or later, be carried much 
further in legislation \ but Lord George Bentlnck did not view this subject In 
the same light lie chose to regard Urn proceeding of Sir Robert Peel os a dell- 
berate act of political treachery, compromising his political honour: and ho at¬ 
tacked that statesman with u violence and sustained rancour which haa no 
F&railcl in tho Parliamentary history erf this country for the last half-century.

MEMOIE OF LORD GEORGE BENTINCK. 

Loan Geobge Fudeiice CayeWdisb Rmmmrc was the second surviving 
son of Williim llcmy Cavendish Scott 
Benttoek, the present Duke of Portland. 
His mother, Henrietta, eldest daughter 
of the well-known General Scott, of Ral- 
eomie, In FIfeshLro, derived, in the female 
line, from the families of the famous 
Scottish worthies, EatlJcI and Wallace. 
General Scott was of very eccentric no¬

George Bentinck, and too property of 
hip Grace toe Duke of Portland. The

the western border of Nottinghamshire 
a abort distance south of Worksop, 
The ordinal Wei beck Abbey was con¬ 
stituted the superior of all the houses of 
the Prernonstratenalan order in England 
and Wales. In 1512, At the Dissolution, 
it was granted to Richard Whal- 
ley, from whom It descended to Sir 
Charles Cavendish, brother of Wliltem, 
Earl of Devonshire, who converted the 
monastic building Into a residence in 
lCM. Sir Charles Cavendish dying in 
1617, Welbeck Abbey became the re¬ 
sidence of his son, the celebrated and 
loyal Duke Of Newcastle, distinguished 
by his taste for horsemanship; ha built 
here a magnificent riding-house and 
stables. Under the direction of John 
Smithson, In 1623^stiU the finest In 
the kingdom. Margaret, his grand¬ 
daughter and heiress, married John 
Holies, Earl of Clare, who was created 
Duke of Newcastle in 1624; and his 
daughter and heiress, Henrietta, mar¬

Lady Margaret Cavendish Harley, 
married. In 1734, wilt lam, second 
Duke of Portland, from whom this an¬ 
cient seat, together with large estate* 
in this county and Derbyshire, de¬ 
scended to the present noble possessor. 

Of the ancient Abbey, the only re- 
mains are some of the arches of the 
vaults, and some walla of the su¬ 
perstructure. built into the present man¬ 
sion. The interior displays a great de¬ 
gree Of elegance and convenience, tire 
apartments having been ra-arranged by 
the late Duke of Portland. The library. 
44 feet by 30 feet, is In the Tudor stylo 
Of architecture. Besides u collection of 
portraits of tho Cavendish and Ben thick 
famines, hero are others of peculiar In¬ 
terest ; including a portrait of Edward 
VL, In crimson and gold; an equestrian 
portrait of Queen EUxabeth, &c. 

Tho park is about £ miles In circuit, 
and la adorned with woods of venerable 
oaks. Near tho house tho plantations 
ate upon a largo scale, and are diversi¬ 
fied with a tine piece of water, occupying 
a winding valley, which, sweeping round 
tho several headland*, produces a most 
picturesque effect at every turn. Wo 
have engraved ono of the most 
celebrated monarcha of the forest, 
the OreendaU Oat, which la, probably, 
but little altered during the last cen¬ 
tury. In 1724 a roadway was cat thro" 
Us venerable trunk, higher than the en¬ 
trance to Westminster Abbey, and suffi¬ 
ciently capacious to permit a carriage 
and four homes lo pau through it.— 
(Strnttis * 1 Sy Iva. ,! J According to Hun¬ 
ter's edition of Evelyn's “ Sylva," about 
1646, this oak was 68 feet high, with a 
trunk girthing 33 feet tlnch: the diarne* 
tor of the head, 81 feet. In 1773, Major 
Hooke gave the dimonaiona thus 1 « Cir¬ 
cumference of tho trunk above the arch, 
35 feet 3 inches; height ol the arch, 10 
frset 3 inches; width of the arch, about 
the middle, f> feet 3 inches; height to 
the top branch, 54 feet,” Tho Major 
considered it to be above 700 years old. 
Tho Countess of Oxford had several ca¬ 
binets made out of tho branches of thla 
tree, which boro representations of iha

Viewing this venerable mile, we are 
reminded of the following noble lines

Lord George’* famous speech of the 
31st March, 1346, first drew upon him 
the attention of the House and rite pub¬ 
lic. His plunge into the strife vu 
Indeed sudden and unexpected. From 
that night he rapidly rose to eminence, 
severing the Tory phalanx into two, and 
becoming himself the bold, an flinching, 
and ever-ready leader of one portion— 
the Protectionist patty. 'Jhis position 
he held until Ills re^nt melancholy 
death.: 

Lord Georges ancestors had originally 
come over to this country (from Holland 
In the reign of William tn.) to maintain 
Protestantism and the principles of civil 
and religious liberty, so be always was 
an advocate for the removal of religions 
disabilities, and only In the last session 
he voted In favour of tho Jewish Disa¬ 
bilities Bill. It nifty be gathered from 
his address to the electors of Lynn, In 
1147, that he wasnot unfavourable to the 
endowmen t of the Roman Catholic priest¬ 
hood In Ireland—not, as be expressed 
himself, “from English fluids and 
English pockets,” but from the revenues 
of tho Irish sell. But It was in support 
of the doctrines of protection to native 
Industry—agricultural ns well as manu¬ 
facturing—tout ills seal kind led Into con¬ 
genial warmth; and his unexpected 
death will be a rad blew to the Fro- 
tcctlonist party. 

Although wo cannot award to Lord 
Geopgo Eeutinck the first place a* a po¬ 
litician, it is impossible net to admire 
his sterling English manliness and 
spirit; and long may It ho before there 
qualities are absent In men of any po¬ 
litical party. Writing to an Irish gen tic- 
mao &o rcccnlly as the 8th of I be pre¬ 
sent month, bis Lordship said“ l don’t 
care twopence for llLearned popularity. 

I am for tho« who obey, and net for 
those who break the laws. * * ■ | 

ran gay, with Burke— 1 1 was rot matin 
for a minion ora tool ; and as little can 
I follow the trade of winning hearts by 
Imposing on tho understand!nga of 
people.*" These are sentiments which 
do honour to Ills memory. He has gone 
to a premature grave in the prime of life 
and zenith of his talents, and it Is Im¬ 
possible not to regret the sudden extinc¬ 
tion of a spirit so full of activity and 
energy. Lonl George Ben thick** death— 
of which full particulars will be found in 
the report of the Inquest—occurred 
suddenly, while he was walking in a 
field near Wei beck Abbey, on the after¬ 
noon of Thursday, the 21 at imtsn L He 
was, at the time, Iti his 47th year. 

The ducal house of which his Lordship 
was a scion, waa founded by William 
Bontinck* a Dutch noble, who enjoyed in 
an eminent degree the favour of King 
William lit,, and was crested by his 
Majesty Earl of Portland* in 1683. His 
Lordship had tho command of the Dutch 
regiment of Horse Guards, and took a 
distinguished part, os. Lieutenant-Gene¬ 
ral, at the battle of Boyne. He was sub- 
*eq neatly Invested with tho Order of the 
Garter, and at length died In 1709, leav¬ 
ing a large family, Tito eldest sou, 

Henry, second Earl, obtained In 1716 the 
highest grade lu the peerage, being ele¬ 
vated to the Dukedom of Portland and 
Marqueuta of Titchfield, His Grace 
died In Jamaica, of which he was Cap¬ 
tain-General and Governor, 4th July. 

1736, leaving, with other issue, a sou end 
successor, William, second Duke, K.G., 
who added considerably to his fortune 
and Influence* by marrying the Lady 
Margaret Cavendish Harley, only daugh¬ 
ter and heir of Edward, second Earl of 
Cxford, by Lady Henrietta Cavendish 
Holies, his wife, only daughter and heir 
Of John, first Duke of Newcastle. The 
paternal grandfather of this richly-por¬ 
tioned helrc-vs, Robert Harley, was the 
illustrious min Siler of the reign of Queen 
Anne, anti her maternal grandfather, 
the Duke of Newcastle* had the reputa¬ 
tion of being one of the Tidiest antjecte 
in the kingdom. From him has descen¬ 
ded to too present Duke of Portland, 

Wei beck Abbey, Notts, together with tha valuable property of Cavendish -square,

THE STATE TRIALS—SPEfclA L COM MISSION IN CLONMEL. 

On Thursday, the a 1st tn&L. tho Speda CnffiPfarion for tho trial of Mr. Smith 
O'Brien, and Mr. T. F. Mcoffhar, and rererut other persons charged with high 
treason, was opened by tho Right Hon. F. Black burnt. Lord Chief Justice of tlio 
Queens Bench; the Right Hon. John Doherty, CMef Justice of the Common 
Pitas; and the Right limb Justice Moore. Their Lordships (who airbed In 
town on the preceding evening, attended by ar escort of dragoon a) entered tho 
court at half-past eleven o'clock. They were accompanied by the High M» 0 nff r 
Richard Pennefethcr, Esq., and an escort of police. Before their arrival, 
the Attorney-General and Solicitor-General took tho places allotted for thorn. 

Tho Clerk of tho Cm wo having rend the Commission, tho names of the Grand 
Jurors were called over, ami the following t^rsnd Jury was sworn :—Rldiard 
John Lord Viscount Suinlate (foreman), Hon. Cornelius O’CulMutti, Hon. 
Francis Aldborongh Prattle, Hon. Richard Hely Hutchinson, Sir Edm, Walter* 
Win. Pon.wuby Barker, Stephen Moore, John Bagwell, Ambrose Going* Mat¬ 
thew Ferine father* Esqrs-; IJoutonimt-Colonel Ralph PeiUser; John Bailey, 
Thomas B. Barton, John Trout, John Cardan, Wm, Quin, James Bn tier, Ste¬ 
phen O'Mcturbor, Henry French, Caleb Going, Thomas Lalor, James Lamgan* 
and Joseph Cooke, Esqra. „ _ , .. 

Chief Justice Blackburn® delivered tho address to the Grand Jury; fa the 
Course of which* having given A general sketch of the proceedings which formed 
tho char go u gati^i the prisoners, he communicated tho following directions re* 
lative to the overt acts set forth in the indictment, as evidence r # r l*f BteitLO) 
of high treason on tho part of the prisoners" You will uot tilled in 

finding the hill of Indictment unless two witnesses prove some fcc. v ‘- 3 easea-" 
two witness in one overt act, or two witnesses to several overt act* i *>tt v itl, 
therefore, careftilly attend to tills consideration when tho witnesses la *uuport ot 
the indictment ara under exambiurton. Now, in respect to that wnL'i lithe 
eubjeet of foe charge—th* intention to be inferred, and expressed if #t can be 
expressed, otherwise to bo interred—my instroctioa to yon la this t It Is lb bo In¬ 
ferred, as I have arid, from acts, writings, and speeches, or general ly from do- 
elamtlona. But* us far as regards mere oral declaration a* not testified in writ¬ 
ing, you ought to puy no regard to the acta of treason they seem to evidence, 
unless the words are connected with some design, or some conspiracy, or some 
direction or excitement. Words do not constitute an net of high treason ; It Is 
only when they .tiro found in connexion with acta that they become evidence. 
And then when you come to consider the evidence with r&ipect to Intention, the 
only rule I hav-e to lay down for your observance Is this—and that is a rule ap¬ 
plied in oil our dealings and intercourse hi life—not simply a rule of law, but a 
rule necessary to bo observed in ail questions where Intention is tilu sum and 
sufatnuce of the charge. The rule Is fofa—to presume and contend that u man 
moans that which Ls the natural and nccea&ary meaning of Ms declarations. 

■ ■ * * ■ 

With respect to tho charge of 14 levying war/ 7 his Lordship observed ■— 
“ The Otitei class of counts In fofa indictment will require very Utt'e observation 
from me* and that is a class of counts by which the parties ore charged with 
haring attempted fo levy war against our Sovereign Lady the Queen, with In 
her realm. That charge also Is one which must ho end which will be In tho in* 
dlEtmcnt, grounded uh various overt acts i At least, more than one ; and the 
rule in this particular, us to the necessity of haring two witnesses, is llm smie 
aa that which 1 haVc just stated to you. But the levying of war must L*u evi¬ 
denced by an influrrectfon* and by tho use of actual force ; otherwise it is not 
within the meaning of the statute & levying of war. And. forth or. It must he a 
lowing of war not for any private, personal, or particular object, but it must be 
tor the purpose of general innovation ; and I hare no hesitation In tolling yon 
that If tf should Appear In the evidence to your satisfaction that tho object of tho 
Insurrection were to accomplish the severance of Ireland, os a part of the United 
Kingdom, from the remainder, and to erect It Into an independent pwer, that 
that would be such a purr-mse ftstiiestatntecontempbites. But I shall hero refer to 
the language of the authorities, for the purpose of Illustrating the principles I 
have told before yon It is said that 'insurrections and risings for the purpose 
Of effecting by foire of numbers (however Ill-arranged, provided* or organised} 
any innovation of a public nature, in which the parties had no special or par¬ 
ticular interest or concern, ham bean deemed Instances of the acton! invying of 
war.' Again* It was essential to the making out of the charge against tho 
prisoner that there must bean insurrection, that there must he force accom¬ 
panying such Jnsurrertlotvund the object of It must hoof a general nature/ 
These are all tho observations 1 think it necessary to make for your guidance." 

Lord Suirdale (foreman): My Lord, some of the grandJury do not understand 
that part of your Lordships charge which relate* to two witnesses—whether 
there ore to be two witnesses to each overt act* or one witness to each in case 
of Iherc being more than oue overt net. 

The Chief Justice: Otto overt net must he proved by two witnesses, crone act 
by one witness and another by another. 

Tho Grand Jury then retired to hear evidence in xupport of the bill of in¬ 
dictment, which in the find count charges William Smith O'Brien, Terence B. 
M'Manns, Jsreea Orchard, Fatrick OTfonneU, and Dents Tighe, befog Subjects 
of our sold lady the Queen* with having, on the 7th day of July, and ort 
divers other days between thut day and the 30fh of the same montii, in tho 
parish of BaHitJgnrry, levied war against our Mid Lady the Queen \ ufoatmetod 
constables In foe execution of their duty; attacked a certain dwelting-houss at 
the common of Bouiagb, and then and there by force of ums traitorously 
attempted to subvert the Government. The second count charges the same 
purl lea with having traitorously levied war against our Lad}- the Queen at MuL 
linoh tme. The third count charges tho same parties wl fo h uvJn g erected a harri- 
cadc at KHlenauie In order to obstruct tho marching of foe troops. The fourth 
count chorges the Name parties with a farther attempt to levy war against I he 
Queen at Bsdlingftny^ The fifth count charges the sumo parties with having 
subsequently appeared In arms at Baltingany, oil the EHh of Jnly, with & de- 
stgu to subvert and destroy the constitution of the realm. The sixth and last 
count la a genera! one, and embraces all overt acts set out on the five former 
counts. 

At five o'clock the Grand Jury announced, through their foreman, that they 
had found true bills against Wm. Smith O'Brien, Terence B. JU‘Manus, James 
Orchard, Denis Tighe, and Tatrick O'Donnell. 

Die priaoners were then bmuebt Into tits dock. Mr. Smith O'Brien looked 
calm and collected, and hi s countenance did not indicate Lhat depression of spirits 
which some luivu ascribed to him. 

Chief Justica Blackhurne then addressed the prisooEra ; —WIHium Smith 
0 T Brieu* Terence Bellew M'Mantia, James Orchnrd* iX-nls Tlgfac, and Patrick 
ODonnell, the Grand Jury hare found a bill of Indictment against you for lilgh 
treason, and it is my duty to inform you that tsach of you are entitled to a copy 
of tho indictment. Do you want to hove it? 

Mr. M’ Modus : Tes. 

Chief Justice Blackbume s Let the Crowu farnish each of tho parties with 
hills of Indictment. 

Copies were farulshed accordingly. * 

The Chief Justice: I hire to inform you that each of you liavfi five days 
allowed you to plead—five days exclusive of the day on which you are served 
with the copy of the indictment, and exclusive of Sunday—that, in fact, next 
Thursday (the 28th) is foe earliest day on wlilch you con bo called upon to plead. 
Do you wish to avail yoursdvea of it ? 

Mr. M'Mamis: I shall avail myself Of It, my Lord. 

Mr. Fottw : i wish to know tf the Atforney-Gtmenil has any other document 
than the copy of the Indictment ? 

Tho Attomey-Geucrol: There Is no other document than the copy of the In¬

The Chief Justice: Thera is no other document which tim Jaw allows them to

Tho court then adjourned to next day.

been In the habit of serving on juries with credit and hohonr, and that many 
persons had beetl placed upon U greatly tlielr inferion in station and education, 
and therefore proyed tlio Court that ho might hu furnPhod vrith a copy of the

field aa manager nf &n English Opera-Hnuae, and presents himself in a more ad¬ 
vantageous pcwUJon than on any former oecaaion: for he has, in the first place- 
one of the finest theatres In Europe to accommodate the public ; and, secondly, 
he will har<s scenic resources of an extent to ennbia him to produce an incom- 
parable wise en seine. Sir. Bunn has done much for national opera to this 
country, and hit programma exhibits his spirit, tact, and enterprise in tito most 
furmi ruble light. Five great lyric works aro to bo produced : a new itami-seria

Thi-atrp do la Nation, formerly the Aeadcmtc Roy ale * one for Mdlle. Plunkett, 
and one for ^Idllo. Maywood. 

For the effective execution of the various entertainments, the company en¬ 
gaged is rich In celebrities and abilities. Mdlle. Nissen* who has sung In Italy, 
France* and Russia with distinguished success, has been engaged. She is a 
Swede by birth* and lias sung in Italian with Gvisi La Paris. Madame Stoltz* 
from the Grand Opera in Faria, Is too well known to require un Introduction ; 
hw advent on the English stage will Indeed be on event* Mlsa Romoris return 
will bu cordially welcomed ns a singer of feeling and. Impulse; aha ia first on 
the lLst of our native artistes. A most intorestEng dkbut will bo that of Mhwt 
Wallace* the sister of the composer. She is to open the season* wo mi- 
derstmnJ, In '* Maritana.” Miss Mossent and MUs Nelson in the secondory parts 
wm bo of value. Mims Rosnano's ap]>earance as a contralto, wo look forward to

heAion may be realised* its a firat-mto basso Is sadly wanted. In tenors, the 
manager la, however, immensely ntroug, having both Sims Reeves and HnniBcin. 
Jlr. Barker will ideo be useful. 01 Mr! llerbertw we know as yet nothing. Mr. 
Land Is chorus master; and Signor Schlru, muaiedt director. Augmented band 
and charue are mentioned in the prospectus; ton much attenUou cannot, in fact* 
be paid to these lyric attributes, for a growing feeling for the beauty of an to- 
smbtc has beau latterly maul tented. 

A* for buLlet* the engagements are first-mte* BOL Barren and Ma^iher 
the baUet-iraftters— both capital tacticians 5 and Mr. U. Barnett Is Under ballot- 
innster. Amongst tho danscusts are MdUo. Plunkett and Mdlle. Fuoco, now 
stars of the first magnitude In eritleal Earls. Mdlie, afnywood* the daughter of 
the late American actor and manugor of that name, la dt'-sllncd to make a ttensa- 
liou, if she only dances as she did when she made her dfbut in Paris at the Grand 
opera* Petipa, Pcspkces, Jules from the Scala, Paul, and the famed Durand* 
arc amongst the male dancers, Pnutominio and spectacle are evidently aimed 
at by Mr* Buna, since he has secured the inimitable Payne, T. Matthews* the ce¬ 
lebrated clown, Mr. Cormack* &c. Mr* G. Ellis Is to bo the stago director ; Grieve 
and Telbtn are the scene *palnters; and Sir. Blsmire the property-maktr. 

On the whole, the prospectus entitles Mr. Bunn to the support of thu public : 
there is a great amount ol talent to bo turned to account; and ho is too skilful 
and experienced a general not to make the most of his forces. The opening is 
announced, for next Saturday, Oct, 7. 


English Opeela at tile P&ikcess* Tilsatm.— We have received no official 
programme of the season, which is to begin on Monday next, with Donizetti's 
M Daughter of the Regiment/' In which Miss Poole will make her first appear¬ 
ance at this establishment in her favourite part of Maria: hut we understand 
EuglBh opera and adaptations of popular Continental works will be Mr. Mad¬ 
dox's aim, returning to the system which secured so greatly the first popularity 
of the Princess's Theatre. MU lie. Nan, from the Grand Opera in Paris* has been 
engaged ; a$ also Mdlle. do Boisty* her first appearance In this country. Mr. and 
Mrs. Weiss are also engaged. Mr. Allen, Sir, Rafter* Mr. Trovers* und Oharles 
Brabam are to he the tenors. Mfss Hsriand, a pupil of Sir* Allen, Ls to make 
her dlbut in "Lucia," Mr. Edward Ltxier Is Musical Director, and has re¬ 
organised the orchestra and chorus, both departments having been placed on the 
most efficient scale. An English adaptation of Flotow's “Arne on Peine " is to 
be one of the earliest nova] ties; and a new opera, by Sir, Edward Lodcr*wili be 
forthcoming after Christmas* as also an operetta by the same composer, for Miss 
Poole, llils oparatf c company to strong* 

Mh. Lavenu j 8 Concert.—M r. Lavcnu Is a composer and violoncello per' 
former* and concert speculator. Ha generally seizes the opportunity, nfter the 
close of the musical season, to get up a monster entertainment at such moderate 
prices os will command, the attendance of the non-fashionable purUon of thecom- 
inanity. If Exeter Hall did not exhibit au overflow last Monday night, it was cer¬ 
tainly very well filled considering Lite period of the jeer, Alboni was the star, and 
alto aang four times, beginning with the finale from » La Cenorumola," the rondo 
being encored; next singing In a duo, Rossini s " La itcgwta Venetiana/' then 
in Rmsini'a coro for treble voices, H Ln Carat* (’ afterwards in the cavatina from

uncoro, although she only complied with the first cull. She was In good voice 
and spirits, niter a fatiguing round In the pravtuecs* imd her reception was mp- 
Uirolls In the extreme. The remainder of the programme was sustained 
by our native artistes, namely, Mrs. Weiss*, the Mj&sls a. ami J|. Wil- 
Ilanis, Mlfft Foole* Mtus Lncombe, >flsu Dnrkcltor, Miss Miron, Messrs. Weiss aad 
Macfiln. The moat ssuceeAtful efforts were those of Mias Poole, In Mr* F. Ho¬ 
mer's plaintive ballad, ‘'They bid me never see him more," sung with simple 
and unaffected feeling, and which wju asked lor twice i the Misses Williams, in 
Mr. Holmes's duo, ** The Swiss Malden 9 / also encored; Mias E. Lucombo, tn

Miss Miron did not seem in spirits, and nor organ has lost somewhat 
of Lta freshness* Misa Weiss, with a ver>* flue voice, to distressingly 
uncertain in her intonation, and her *tylo to defective. Miss Kate 
Loder performed two movemems of Mendelssohiris first pianoforte con¬ 
certo with ardour and In ten sc ness. There wan a good orchestra, led 
by Blrtgrov^, gleaned principally from the Royal Italian Opera* who pluved 
the 11 Oberon” and “ William TcIT' overture* with tire and energy, the filial 
movement hi the hitter being repeated by general desire. Mr. Lavenu's over¬ 
ture* « written expressly for the occasion," oalli fur no remark, for It lira left no 
remembrance of its subjects nor of Its treatment. Bis vocal gleanings from 
" Loretta " wore much more eutUlcd to notico. Mr. Linds*y Slopcr and Lavenu 
conducted alternately; and tho concert termluated at an early hour, albeit there 
were 28 pieces in the schema* 

Tour or Mdllb. Li.so.—M dlle. Lind sang on Saturday at a concert iu Edin¬ 
burgh* and on Monday appeared at the theatre with Roger, BclletU, and F, La- 
Macho, BaLfo being the conductor. At the early port of October, she will ap¬ 
pear In Italian opera in Dublin, The speculation has Ifitherto proved pmbctly 
siurcossful, although the prices are tor beyond the ordinal y scale In the pro¬ 
vinces*

where eight Italian operas and odd morning concert were given, supported by 
Grislt Mdllfi. Vera* Mario, Ctabatta* and Tagliaflco. Four Italian operas were

EAST LANCASHIRE RAILWAY, 


Tke scheme of railways for Lancashire, as might be expected from Its foremost 
position as a manufacturing county, to of a very complete irud extensive ohu- 
racter. Our present business Is* however, with only a srnill porteon of one of 
(ho principal llnaa— only eight miles In length—but presenting some tif the 
chief '* engineering fiilhcultics" in tho whole r^chetae* Such to tho remaining 
link necessary to complete the Hue from Manchester io Pros too, which has jest 
been opened to the public* 

The first portion of the line constructed, that from Manchester to Stubbing* 
four miles beyond Bury (with a brunch to RawtensinU), Was opened two years 
ago; iu August, 1846, a portion of the farther end of the line, from Preston to 
Blackburn* was opened; a third part* being a continuation of the Roarendolc 
branch, up the valloy of tho IrweR to Newchnteh, wm opened last November; 
and in May of the present year *a contlnunrion of the Preston and Black bunt 
part* and bringing on the line to Accrington, six miles in length, was opened. 
The portion oft he line juet opened brings the line forward from Accrington to 
Stubbing, Lind thus connects the various portions of the Hilo previously opened* 
The lines aril 1 to be finished, before the whale East Lancashire scheme Is car¬ 
ried Out, arc—A line from Preston to Liverpool, rid Ormskirk; and a railway 
branching ont from ihjs main line at Accrington to Burnley and Colne, at 
which lari-named place it will Join the Bradford and Leeds line, running 
through Skipton and Keighley to Leeds and Bradford. 

The portion Just completed has been a work of great labour; the lofty summit 
which ft crosses being a spur or projection from the lofty mountainous ridge at 
Blacks Lone Edge; end which* etretchlng through almost the entire length of 
the kingdom, north and south* has been detonated the M backbone" of England. 

From Stubbing* the point where the line diverges from the portion of the rail¬ 
way from Manchester to Rawtenateil and Newehurch* u originally intended 
to hare ascended tho chain of hiUs^tlie great barrier between tho vales of the 
Irwell and tho Culder—by a shorter route, and with a much steeper gradient* 
I in 33^(the starting point fixed upon being then much further from items- 
bottom)— and to have worked the trains up and down by a stationary engine. 
The discovery* however, that locomotives cflilfd be made to work even heavy 
traffic up gradients of a much severer character thnn was contemplated a few 
years ago, determined tiro Directors upon another course—to commence the 
ascent at the more distant point Indicated, and thus spread the incline over a 
greater spaca. Indeed* it now averages only 1 in 73, though the descent Into 
Accrington over a short distance is nearly 1 In 40* At Istubblns the line diverges 
by u curve of about half a mite radius* and begins Immediately to anoend O 10 
hill; the first portion of it being over a long bank commanding a view of tho 
residence and works of T* Gregg* Esq., ol Chaddortan Mill—the villages of 
Edonfleld* Shuttle worth, and the Stubbing print-works; whilst below jg seen the 
vilhigo of Rama bottom, whore are clustered the eitcnslve manufactories of tha 
Messrs, Ashton and tho Messrs. Grant* At Lumb vre enter a deep cutting, and 
OTOM tho river Irwoll at Alderbottom by means of an elegant viaduct, constotiug 
of bays, or openings, composed of Umber framing resting on atone piers. The 
bridgo carrying the old line of railway to nearly adjoining to this, but at a much 
loss considerable elcvutlon. \¥a run alongside of tho .Rosseudale line* indeed* 
011 a high batik of about a quarter of a mile Jn length, and 30 feet above the 
level, leaving the paperworks of Messrs. Newbold and Park on the left; and 
again cross the river Irwell and part of the volley, on a substantial etene viaduct 
of nine arches* of 40 feet spun each* and 13 feot rise, at on elevation of 70 leet 
above the river. Tliis viaduct is succeeded by a hea vy ere bank ment* which ter¬ 
minates with the high lands Just above the Irwoll Vale MhJ, and there it entera 
a deep cutting* diverging to the left, and Anally leaving the valley of the IrweR. 
The deepest part of the cutting ts apanuod by a stone arch, which carries tho 
public road over tho lino to the Ravenshore Mills. 

Thu railway tlien cross**, by means of a akew viaduct of 3L arches, of AO feet 
span* the ravino at the bottom of which runs the brawling, but useful stream 
called the Ogden. This viaduct is a striking structure* from tile peculiarity of 
Us romantic position, stretching neroas »o as to fill up completely the chasm ins- 
tween tho rocky sides of the river* close to which, Sn tho works, was a quicksand 
fib feet deep; into this, fora considerable rime, the contractor threw earth at tho 
rate of 16M cubic yards per day—the largest quantity by one third probably ever 
deposited on n simikr space in one day—without any satisfactory result. This to 
succeeded by a much ahalLower cutting, of aboat half u mile in length* spanned 
by three occupation bridges, and crossing the turnpike from Bury to Hoslingden 
on the level* We now arrive at the Hebnsh ore S tatlou. Til a pe nnanent station 
to not yet quite completed, but pramtoos to he a very tasteful little structure* 
The railway then skkta round tiro baao of the htito, having the very extensive 
works of tiro Messrs. Tumor on Hie Juft baud ; and the Tenter Fluids and bloacli-. 
Ing gronods,Ate., and Float Moss House, tho residence of W* Turner, Esq.* on 
the right. ■ 

Along this portion of the line we encounter sonio bold, romantic scenery* in 
Which the lofty ]wak of Mnsbury Tor is passed within u mile of its simtidt* 

Some of the mill property along this line to stagulorly^ictnresrpici tho eye 
catching occasional glimpses of mills In tho most qnfet and secluded nooks, 
scaled deep in the clefts of the hills or rnvlnes* where water-power eau bo 
turned to tho boat advantage * the At cep banks ou either side being Mmetiined 
luxuriantly wooded. 

Westlli find otiraelvea crosaiug the valley of the River Ogden, and the reser¬ 
voirs of the lielmshoro Milto* en a viaduct of 14 arches* which is continued by a 
long bank* pierced by several bridges* that stretches to the Ikslingdcn Graae 
The Haalingieu Granc road to crossed by a tubular gird or bridge, constructed by 
W. Folrbatm, Esq.* ou the same principle as those at Conway and Menql. The 
tubes are* however, tn tliis ease of mucli inferior sIko* and the roadway to sup¬ 
ported between Orom by a system of jototlng timber and Iron combined. Ano¬ 
ther Jang embankment succeeds this* and the railway ptuses by numerous mills 
and bieach-works, which occupy the fiat land below the" town of Haalbig** 
(leu- A slight cutting on the edge of tho hill aacceoLto; and, after passing over 
soma golte and Wuter-coarses* we pass through a short tunnel of about Lte yards 
In leugtli* which pierces through a projecting nob of rook* and brings as to Has- 
liogdeh Station. The town of Httolingden to left slightly on tho rigftt-bajid ride 
high above tha hire* on the irregular slope of the hili-sldc, with tho church 
standing prominently in view. It to said to be the high oat imirket town In Lan¬ 
cashire. 

Soon after passing HaMlngden* we reach the summit cutting of the line* frmn 
which has been excavated nearly hatf-a-miUion yards of peat, graval* and sand* 
This cutting to the heaviest and moat Important on tiie Hue, and to probably omi 
Of tho most difficult works that has yet been encountered in any of thcvarloua 
lines In tlic kingdom, tn consequence of a targe portion of it haring to be driven 
through n bog hole* tho material of which buing saturated with water, ft came 
iu fester than It could be removed* The peat, or bog, was here 20 feet or up¬ 
wards in depth* and some Idea may be formed of tho barrier such a piece of 
ground affords to sueli works, when wo mention that in Ore middle Of lost sum¬ 
mer all tho earth which two locomotive* and their irates of waggon* could bring 
to the spot for throe long mouths was emptied Into it without getting a founda¬ 
tion * Mr. Pcrring, the company's engineer* at J eugth overcame the dlfficu I tv by 
sinking large m«n« of stone, which 1 arced out and drove away the peat* white 
It served Itoclf as a solid foundation over which the lino could pass. Nearly at 
the end of this ciiLtteg* at Rising RrMgc* tbc railway Iscrasacd by a noblethree- 
arched bridge, which, with its heavy but handsome’ piers, sustains arches of 40 
feet span upon a quicksand ! Nevertheless* stability to ensured by founding tha 
piers upon a platform resting on beds of concrete, which arc surrounded by 
coffer-dams of piles* to prevent any UHcapc of tho concrete, or any injurious ai> 
tlon upon It by the surrounding Iparre strata, A short distance further to the 
Boxcndcu Station, now nearly completed —a small but etegunt structure, and of 
tho tame style and character as. that at 11 el inshore. 

These stations* built round extensive platforms, arc novel hi plan, and arc 
highly creditable to the skill of Mr. Forrlng* the C&utjumy's engineer. They 
material to hard* while, handsome stono. ' * 

Immediately after leaving the Baxcnden'Station, we pnoa the e*t<pislve print- 
work* of the Messrs. Wilson, and skirting along the edge of tho Mil, begin to 
descend rapidly down an ineUnu of l In 40, which extends nearly to the Accrinjj- 
ton Station, At Chuugh* tho railway is carried over a reservoir and stream by a 
vtoduei of five brick arches. Buyond this* tho works, consisting of heavy cut¬ 
tings and embankments, present no very striking feature, until we arrive in viW 
of tho town of Accrington. .Immediately before entering tho Accrington Station 
ground* we crons, by a timber viaduct, 210 ynrtto long, the reservoir of the large 
cotton manufactory of tho Messrs. Hargreaves s this is called tho Wellington Mill 
Viaduct. 

At the Accrington Station, tiro Lire now opened forms a Junction, as befota 
stated* with that portion of the East Luueuahiro lino extending from Accrington 
to Blackburn and Prewton. and completes tho chain of communication between 
tha populous dtotricto ot tiro voJley of the IrweU and the &ea-coaSt. As at Accring-

NOOKS AND CORNERS OF OLD ENGLAND * 

THE CROWH imr, OXFORD* WHERE SHAKSPERE ** PUT OP." 
This memorial of our great Dramatic Poet is of interest akin to that 
of the copy of the Chandos Portrait, in the present page. 

The Crown Inn, Oxford, is an old decayed house, bat probably was 
ones an inn of some importance. It stands directly in the road from 
London to Stratford; and Aubrey (who lived near enough Shaks- 
pore’s time to be well enough informed in suck matters) relates a plea¬ 
sant piece of traditionary gossip, that Shakapero ** was wont to go 
into Warwickshire once a years* and did commonly ]ye at the Crowns 
Tavern, in Oxford, where he was exceedingly respected.” The house, 
in Shakspere’s time* was kept by Mr, and Mrs, DAvenant, the father, 
it is thought; and certainly the mother, of Sir William DAvenant* the 
poet, Shakspere, however* is said to have been both his godfather and 
his father, “ Now Sir William would sometimes, when he was a-plea- 
sant over a glass of wine, with his most intimate friends, say that it 
seemed to him that he wrote with the very spirit that Shakespere wrote 
with, and was contented enough to be thought his son,” Mrs, DAve- 
pant was a landlady of very light report; but u a very beautiful 
womaiii and of a very good wit, and of conversation extremely agree¬ 
able; ’* and her husband was “ a very grave and discreet citizen,” who 


like Shakspera; and which Knel- 
ler, before 1692* copied and presented 
to glorious John Dryden—who re¬ 
paid the painter with one of tho best 
of his admirable epistles, 

M The Chandos Shakspero is a 
small portrait on canvass, 22 inches 
long oy 18 broad. The face is 
thoughtful, the eyes are expressive, 
and the hair is of a brown black. 
The dress is black, with a whit© 
tum-over collar the strings of which 
are loose. There is a small gold ring 
in the left ear. We have had an 
opportunity of inspecting it both 
before and after the sale, and in the 
very best light; and have no hesi¬ 
tation in saying that the copies we 
have seen of it are very far from 
like. It agrees in many respects— 
the short nose especially—with the 
Stratford bust; and is not more un¬ 
like the engraving before the first 


THE CROWN INN, OXFORD, 


THE CHANUOS PORTRAIT OF SHAKSPERE* DRAWN FROM THE PICTURE AT STOWE, 


folio—or the Gerard Johnson bust 
on the Stratford mmntment—than 
Raeburn^ Sir Walter Scott is un¬ 
like Sir Thomas Lawrence’s—or 
West's Lord Byron unlike the bet¬ 
ter known portrait hy Phillips. It 
has evidently been touched upon 
the yellow oval that surrounds it 
lias a look of Kneller's age. Sir 
Joshua Reynolds made a copy of it, 
not very like, it is said. Gziaa Hum¬ 
phrey, ILA, in August, 1783, co¬ 
pied it in crayons for Malone; and 
From this crayon drawing, which we 
have not aeon, prints of it have been 
made which are far from like. Henry 
Bone, R.A.* made an enamel from 
it; and Mr. Charles Knight h in 
possession of the last cow which is 
said to have been made of it, Jfone 
that we have seen, as we have said, 
are like; and, from what we havo 
heard, ;frr m competent authorities* 
several of the copies have also missed 
the expression, which is both pecu¬ 
liar and good.” 

The opinion of the writer in the 
Athetumm that the Chandos pic¬ 


ture is not the original for which Slinkspero sat; but a copy made 
for Sir William Davenant* from some known and acknowledged portrait 
of the poet.

CHATTER IV.—TELE RENEWAL. 

"So* Henry, lean now appreciate yoor motim for wiildng me not to open 
your letters" said Mrs, Purvey, on her husband's return. " You see I have 
opened it*” she added* aa Henry took up M»cfi*m T s letter, 

" And* pray, what discovery have yon made, Madam ?" asked the husband * 
angrily. 

" Read the letter—read It. / knew what Mr. Macfnm was, long ago." 

Tarsey read the letter* folded It calmly* and seating himself with portentous 
deliberation* glanced Indignantly at hia wife. She mot hla look of anger with 
that provoking Indifference which woman can so well assume when bent upon 
having Uio heat of ail argument; and the pair sat for some in In cites in alienee* 
presenting no very encouraging picture of that phantom so bruited about* and, 
called *■ Wedded Bliss!" At length the husband's auger oozed out In speech, 
and a tart, connubial tHT ensued. Mr. Purscy failed In hU attempt to «- 
onomto his friend from any dishonest Intention in the eyes of his wife; 
neither did he convince her that *ho had acted Improperly In disobey¬ 
ing his Injunctions as to the opening of hla letters, Mrs. Bursty vouch¬ 
safed some truly feminine arguments in justlflcatton of her conduct. All she 
knew was that sho had opened Mr. Macfum 'a letter, and that she should continue 
to open any letter that came to the house. As she bad said before, she had 



looked better after hia guests than the conduct of bis wife. The tradi¬ 
tion which Aubrey preserves docs not rest solely* however* on his au¬ 
thority, * That notion*” said Pope to Spence, ** of Sir William DAve- 
nant being more than a poetical child only of Shakspere, was common 
in town; and Sir William himself seemed fond of having it taken for 
truth,” 

Dates* which upset so many traditions, are in favour of the Davenant 
story, for the poet of M Gondibert,” and the future poet laureate,, was 
baptized in St. Martin's Church, Oxford* on the 3rd of March, 1605-6, 
and Shakspere died on the 23rd of April, 1616. The poet’s route from 
London to Oxford waa by way of Uxbridge (famous for a treaty to no 
good purpose), by Besconsfield (the birth-place and property of Waller) 
on to East Wickham, Stokingchurch, Thotisford* Whatley* and Oxford. 
At Oxford he passed a night: lie would then go on by the way of 
Woodstock* Enstone, and Ship#ane, over the Avon* by Clapton’s bridge* 
to his native Stratford* On hia right Jay Charlecote, on his left the 
Collegiate church of Stratford, while before him was Henley Strutt 
(leading to Henley in Arden), the meadows about Ingon, hia mothers 
property, the woods of Welcombe, and the little hairnet or Tillage of 
Shottery. 

It will be seen from our engraving that the Crown Inn retains many 
characteristics of the age of Elisabeth and James I* lu a large upper 
room, says Thomas Warton* describing the Crown Inn, “ which seems 
to have been a sort of hall for entertaining a large company, or for 
accommodating (as was the custom) different parties alone* there was 
a bow window with three pieces of excellent stained glass.” The 
Oxford visitor should make a point of seeing the Crown Inn. 


THE CHAHDOS PORTRAIT OF SHAKSPERE. 

We have engraved this far-famed picture, from a drawing, carefully 
made by one of our artists at Stowe, previous to the sale. The portrait 
has been very often engraved, but very rarely with accuracy. It has 
been purclmsed by the Earl of Ellesmere, for 355 guineas; and it will 
form* it is said* the gem of the Shakspero closet, in the new Bridg¬ 
water House, which Mr. Barry Is building for Lord Ellesmere in the 
Green Park. 

We find in the AdietuEum some interesting particulars of this picture* 
Its history is shortly this ;■— 

u The Duke of Chandos obtained it by marriage with the daughter 
and heiress of a Mr. Nicholl* of Minchenckn House, Southgate; Mr. 
Nicholl obtained it from a Mr, Robert Keck* of the Inner Temple* who 
gave (the first and best) Mrs. Bony* the actress, as Qldy tells us, forty 
guineas for it Mrs, Barry had it from Betterton, and Betterton had it 
From Sir William Davennut, who was a professed admirer of Slmksperc, 
and not unwilling to be thought his son. Davenant was bom in 1605, 
and died in 1668 ; and Betterton (as every reader of Pcpys will recol¬ 
lect) was the great actor belonging to the Dukeh Theatre* of wliich 
Davenant was the patentee. The elder brother of Davenant (Parson 
Robert) hod been heard to relate, as Aubrey informs us, that 
Shakspere had often kissed Sir William when a boy, 

“ Davenant lived quite near enough to Shaksper^s time to have 
obtained a genuine portrait of the poet whom he admired—in an age, 
too, when the Shakgpere mania was not so strong as it ii now. Thera 
is no doubt that this was the portrait which Davenant believed to be

friend. 

Utterly forgetful of Ids wife's admonitions, and treating implicitly In the sin¬ 
cerity of Mac film's frt&uifehlp, Purvey betook himself to the place of appoint- 
rrerat at. the hoar indicated in MacranT'a letter. Ho found MlJkcftim already 
there, and in a mostdospondingstate of mind: and braltfo the dolorous Mae- 
Him sat Mr. Moss. The appearance of this latter personage was certainly not 
prcpoue&flDK; and indistinct Ideas of his resemblance to the Jew Attorneys 
painted by Pickens and others, flouted before the mental vision of til® ausoplHa- 
ticated youth. But a glance at Alncfum reassured him. Pnmy^ heart awe lied 
with pity, and with a hope that bo hud yet tit® power to relievo his friend. 
Yes, com® what mar, ha would stand by Macfum, for he was u flnc4i®artod 
follow, 

“My dear boy, how are you?'" said Mticfum, in a tone of melancholy that 
would have thawed the coldest heart, ua he grasped Pursey’s hand* 11 1 scarcely 
know* how to meet you." 

A minute observer might have detected a smite, or rather a saviij^ gtfn* upon 
the oily feature* of Mr, Mo»* t«i Mitofiim addressed PnrSey* Purser lusured 
M &cfcun that ho was unit® ready to do anything that could extricate him from 
lib trouble, 

*■ Ertrfrato Mr. Mac feta !" Interposed the Jew* with the demon-grin still upon 
hia greasy features; ” you are tho acceptor of the bill* 1 believe \ are you not P" 
" I am. so,” answered Puraoj in an embarrassed tone* and mitiirally turning to 
Uacfnm for a, solution of the attorney's mysterious words. 

" Haog it, I shouldn't cam a rap if the consequences fell only on mo. Bid it 
is you, my dear boy—1£ is your being Involved In the mutter, that cats me to the 
heart," said Macfom. 

Still the attorney grinned, and could scarcely refrain from clapping Ms hands, 
In the hugeness oftils approbation. Did bo think lie was at Um tiieuhre^ Did 
he, for th<i moment* foncy himself in the pit, witnessing the performance of a 
clever actor ? 

41 WhaPs to be done/* at length asked Puraey* anxious to bo relloved Item Ida

“Didn’t you mud tlie amount ? Mere fe the bill—for ono hundred pound*, sir; 
only a hundred, ” said the Jew, chuckling. « 1 dare say you will be glad to take 
It a p for your friend. as the amount la net heavy.” 

" That la no affair of yours* Mr. Mhos, leu will not take it up, I know. I 
asked you ham to stt ir vc could come to sum) orumgetuent for tho runDwal 
of the bill. Your Jew's heart lain no sympathy wltii a mnn'i misfortunes. 
You'd thrust n writ into the clenched band of a dying man—so utterly are you 
without any feeling beyond your sordid, grasping usttrer'A luvc of sixty per cent. 
Yon may retire, Mr- Moss, to do ycur wo ret. And If there Is one recollection that 
cun sweetou a uuui's deaLh-bed more than another, it is, that on all bonds it Is 
agreed that there are no attorneys beyond the grave 
Mr* Mess rose In obedience to the Impressive exhortation of Mr. Maefum* 
and prepared to talce his departure. Tins man's colourless fore iiuivered with 
rage; but the spirit that repels an I rim It dwelt not in JiLs breast. He con lentil 
himself with, shaking his instrument of torture (die bill) before the friends; and 
ttrowhng between Ids teeth, ”You had bettor be punctual," shuffled out of 
the room* 

" Isn't It melancholy ta be In tin? hands of ouch a miscreant ? M sold Mucfuro, 
when the attorney hxut effected hi* iLL-teppcuniiice from their prcauncc. 41 DtiesnY 
it put one out of humour with human nature to see such utter animals, sack 
gravelling brutes, crawl tltta earth, and with brazen Impudence style themselves 
men. I've Ijwu talking to that follow for the last two hours ; Tvg put my rim to 
hire, talked to him as man to man \ but no, bSt, he didn't see noy distress— 
couldn't bring himself to sympathise with my misfortune. ]Jo's an old lump 
of Ugly granite— the moat sightless and degraded piece oi Nature's pottery It has

” Como, how can i assist you in this matter ? I tiavu'tft sixpence at my com¬ 
mand just now, so I fear I must be utterly powerless* I'll do anything to my 
power, but pray screen mo from that Jew.” 

" My dear boy, you probably know that if I dishonour my bill, y ou arc answer¬ 
able for the amount ” 

■* Good God, Mucin in!” For the first time Henry trembled as to the issue of 
the matter. So secure bud he felt to Uacfum'a nianrtgolncnt of til® buaiuCss, 
that It had never struck him that he, more than his friend, was In danger. 

■* Pray, don't alarm yourself, my dear Purser/' interrupted iiaefiun soothingly. 
rt No harm shall come to you* depend upon it. I would lose my right hand rather 
than see you scathed to thi* matter. My honour Is at Make— need Isay more ?” 

" Pardon mo, my dear Muefero* \ flh can understand my alarm. A dcuumd 
upon me lor such a sum*'- 

4 * Recollect, Puraey, that Durre la no demand Upon you fbr a farthing, I trust 
yon do not intend to put forth a supposition prejudicial to my honour as a 
gentleman.” 

“ I am the last man in the world to say aught to offend yon* Maefjim. On tho

jMirvice to you In this dilemma/’ Pftiwy was now perfectly re adored; ho hod

■*1 have no favour to a*k of you* Turacy/ said tfaefttm, somewhat Coldly; 
“and, as tt La getting late, and I have on appointment at seven, 1 muM be 
going.” 

Puraey waa touched at thLs sudden change in the mottocr of his friend, and 
now tboraughly ashamed of hts. own past fears. He lariated, therefore, upon 
detaining Macfum that he might thoroughly restore himself In his good opinion. 
Macfiim reluctantly yielded to Puraey‘a entreaty* 

J< My dear lladfum*” aoid the latter, with emotion, u I have, however ubwH- 
Bngly* wounded your feeUuga. We are Mends of but short acqualiiTance, yet I 
trust that, aeverthde**, we entertain tor each othei a regard not often won so 
suddenly* I must confess to yon that you have awakened in mo a strong friend- 
ahlp tor yon, and great admiration for your talents \ «ad oil I have to beg of yon 
U, that In your need yon will not withhold from me the pleasure of serving yon 
to the utmost of my power* I see yon emboraisaed. As your friand, J ask yon 
oamaatly, can I serve you ?” 

*■ i must own, Pnrscy, that I felt hurt by smuo cxclmratlons whlcli escaped 
you a few minutes ago. But now I understand you. and, believe me* any past 
feeling of pique shall be forgotten. I will bo equally candid with you, seeing 
that you arc so truly my friend* and will at once Own that you can serve me, 
and effectively. I would rather not, however, put yon to the tori* sine® your re¬ 
fusal must at once put an end to oar acquniutance; innainuch as Lt would Imply 
a want of confidence on yom* part to my honour.' 4 
« My dear follow, I promise buforeJuuid. 14 

“ Wall* then, unsolicited by me, you consent to accept another bill to the 
amount of that prertouriy accepted by yon for me. it Is only a matter of fora, 
to delay the payment of the other three month!** You see your acceptance of 
this will enable m® to pay that due in a few days, ho that I shall gain the time 
that must expire before tire arrival of my remittance.” 

Henry at one® assented to thE« plunalble proposition, signed the bill, and took 
leave Of Ills friend, without any mlfgivtag at hU heart 

And Maefton, who always persuaded Hb$a to cosh his bills, on the nssunitieo 
that his aristocratic sc quiantiiiice would rather pay tho amount ten tiroes over than

SADLER’S WELLS* 

TMs theatre* which, In addition to substantial repair*, wliicb have, we be¬ 
lieve. delayed its opening, lias been thoroughly rleinsed and redecorated, com* 
rooneeti itaaeasonon Wednesday evening with Shakcspero'R noble tragedy of 
” OorkiliUTta,” The friends of the legitimate drama mupftcrod. In great fore® 
upon the occasion, and each fovnurite arfrjtr was greeted with worm enthusiasm, 
whilst the attentive filtencn to which the nofey and. crowded pit and gallery were 
hushed on the rbdtiE of the curtain, shewed that the great dramatist, in this his 
“ Elba,” atill holds bis away over wflUug and worshipping Bubjects* Mr, Cimrl®3 
Kemble was present, and certainly never, with the exception of Its revival during 
Mr, Mucready's numagemc ntof Co vent-Garden, croi he, during life tong career, have 
witnessed the production of this play with anything like the good general effect 
produced at little suburban Sadtaris Well a* The turbulence Of that many-headed 
monster, the mob—tho pomp of war—the rude magnificence of republican Rome 
—the hearth of Jw/rfiw glowing ban bath the protection of tutelar deities—tiro 
ttain of weeping matrona In solemn black threading Uieir way through crowds 
of sohlicra, and the «udrkn outbreak of rage which causes tlm destruction of tiro 
noble Roman, were all marie as perceptible to tho eye of the humblest 
artirim In tin: gallery as to the Imagination of the student, Mr. Phelps** 
€orioianus> although well read (ted carefully ilded* was perhaps deficient in 
t hat noble scorn which should mark th e bearing of Oahu ifarciu*; and Miss Glyn n 
locked iho matronly and dignified tearing that Votumnia demands In represen¬ 
tation ; y«t the wboJo piece, down to tho 6iibordina r c characters, bore roarki of 
the most careful superintendence, producing n satisfactory result. Though he 
can no longer witness their perfornUftCfl at the largo theatres, no thorough play¬ 
goer need blush for the mode in which the works of our great dramatfet ftre pro- 
auctod at StuLleris Wells. Amidst much that W«a good in tha acting, we cannot 
refreUn from mentioning specially the Menenitts of Mr. A. Yonnge—OUO of the 
best representatives of old men that thestag® now iranesscs. 

Cphtous Case.—O n Saturday, at St. Bartholomew's* much Interest waa at¬ 
tracted by a caw which has come under the notice of Mr, Lawrence* the emi¬

named George Castle, wjis attending to qua of the saws 111 tha steam-milts In the 
Curtain-road* Shoreditch, and* while it was at full work* he reached across to 
remove somiLhing w hich waa in til® way. when one of his fingers got into the 
strap. He triad violently to release it lest th® urai should be forced in ? and* in 
doing this he brought the edge Of the saw to his right thigh* and almost in on 
Instant the leg waa nunplctoly separated above the knee- Hfe cries anon brought 
assistance* the machinery was topped, and he was conveyed as speedily as pos¬ 
sible to St, Jtartltolorocw'a Hospital In every exhausted state from hnrniorrhage* 
Mr. Lawrence* who was* ut the time, al tending hit putlcnts In the hospital, 
directly emmlned the sttunp, and found that a second amputation would w nu-

MONETARY TRANSACTIONS OF T1IE WEEK* 

(From our City Cot'resp&ndcnl.) 

A majority of Ifi vote* in fovour of a dividend of Three-and-n-Holfper Geat., 
bs proposeri by the Directors* instead of an additional One ijer Cent., which had 
been moved «* an amendment, was tiro result of Cm Bank ballot nn Wednesday. 
In the financial article of last week tb® argument of both parties itere 
brtofly noticed, 1’lie interval between the meeting and the ballot did 
nut* however, pass without cl kiting several new view* of the question. By nne 

K tho ennstunt midi linn to ihc Bank capital is strongly objected to, as belli , r 
jHiriiieu to tiin intentions, if not the letter of the charter; m an In justice, in

the Money Mnrket. On tii® otlter hand* it is urged that a reserve of 
one year should olwaya be provided, to meet the ncsslblo losoc* of 
another, and that a hank cannot b® too much atrengthoned for the public secu¬ 
rity* Tf? Ulln It may be replied, that no bank ut I to com mu ti cement con have ft 
reserve ; and as, after its accumulation, it can he only capital with another 
nume, ita probable elfoct may be to afford an undue cou'ffdcncu 
at the employment of the resources of the hank, by instating In 
tho promotion uf extensivo spnculative tmuwctionD* The decision arrived fit by 
tho ballot fe in favour of Increasing the rot ; but betwcou tbfe period and the 
next liulf«ycarly mooting, there fo llttlo doubt that tho (subject will not only

LOWESTOFT HASBOTO, WITH THE MPBOVTMERTS. 



10WEST0FF HAEBOOE. 

Tax extensive Improvement of this Haven wbj commenced la the spring of 
1846; ffio plan being to construct ft new Harbour, on a grand acala* audio 
connexion with it a railway joining the Norfolk line at Read ham; thus form* 


lug railway comimmication between the Harbour and nil parts of England—a 
communication which will soon be extended throughout Scotland. 

The Act for improving tho Harbour and forming the railway was passed In 
the early part of IS4S. Hews, Stephenson and Bidder were appointed the 
engineers in chief* Mr. Hodge* the reaident engineer* and Mr. 0. M. Peto the 


general contractor. In the onten>rise of Hr, Peto originated this great work 
having purchased the harbour and navigation In 1844* he* with other gentle* 
men, chiefly in the neighbourhood* formed for the above purpose a company, 
with a capital of ^20o ( m 

The new Harbour of Refuge Is formed by two Immense piers, extending for 
1300 feet Into the sea, enclosing tha old harbour, and ah area of 20 acres. The 
width between the piers, and consequently of the Harbour* Is 800 feet* uud the 
average depth of water in it U 20 feet. The old entrance within tha piers will be 
cleared away up to the stone-work, so that there will bo a spacious basin, Urge 
enough to accommodate 600 or 700 vessels. The piers consist of a stupendous 
timberlframe-work, on each side of the Harbour, U feet high above the water, 
and 30 feet In width; filled up with Immense blocks of atone, from one to six 
tons in weight, and the sides present o soHii mass of masonry. 

As the thousands of tons or stones required have to be brought from s great 
distance* In Vessels* the flllhtg-ln with stone goes on slowly. When this work la 
completed, a platform or flooring of tour-inch planking will be made on the top 
of each pier. 

The north pier, after oxtending straight out oast for 700 feet, bends to the 
south'oast for 300 feet, and then bonds again to the strath for 300 feet more; 
making in all 1300 feet. This pier Is Intended entirely fur biulnc&g, and a 
double tramway has been laid along It* with ei targe turning-table at each bend. 

The south pier extends from the shone tor 1300 feet, straight out into the sea* 
and U Intended for a grand promenade. The head of each pier la circular, and 
60 feet in diameter. Lighthouses have been erected in the centra of the circle 
at tine head of each pier; and at night a brilliant red light Is exhibited. 

The on tranco to the harbour between the two piers Is towards the south-east; 
it is 160 feat wide, with a depth of Si feet at low water. 

Beyond the south pier. In Klrktoy, a sea wall and towers of flint and atone, and 
at the back of it a broad embankment* are In course of formation for an espla¬ 
nade, which will be a quarter of a mile In length and 26 feet Wide* ted will afford 
a splendid view of the sea. 

The Inner harbour has been dredged to a depth of fourteen feet In the chan¬ 
nel, at low water* and thU dredging will be extended up to Mutford-biidge. 
The New Cut and a part of Lake XotMug have been dredged* and the naviga¬ 
tion has been thereby considerably improved. There is from tea to twenty 
feet water through Lake Lathing, and the Wav one y to the New Cut, In which 
the water Is about (fight toot deop* while over* Burgh Flats and Breydon there Is 
not half that depth. The new whoring, the various buildings* the offices, 
engine-houses* workshops, coke-ovens, warehouses, stations* &c., and about half 
a dofcen hues of railway bran chin g from the piers, on the north side of the 
Inner harbour* occupy a space of about sixty acres. 

Altogether, this improvement will present one of tha finest combinations of 
oil way and sea communication In the country. 


PARIS FASHIONS FOR OCTOBER* 

The fete* given In Baris by the members of the Executive Government have 
provided la mode with a new opportunity for displaying Itself, The evening 
toilette* have not yet experienced any remarkable change* the season not being 
sufficiently advanced to cause light muslins and other transparent summer 
tissues to I® abandoned; but October demands wanner toilette i for town, so that 
tafTotafl and tfre* dc Maple* Ore set aside, and poult fa iofr, Icvantlnei, sntlns* 
and velvets begin to replace them; and dresses of Cacfamtrt Big* ore extremely 
admired far ntftUpi. This is a mixed stuff, rather darker than &ru (unbleached 
linen) aoujJto, warm, and thick. Five yards suffice tor a woman of middle height; tor 
two breadLha and a half give a proper fullness to the skirt, which must be Hoad, 
and the bodice be mode light. These dresses are trimmed with buttons, gsJoon. 
or sarsenet ribbon about three-quarters of an Inch wide ; this ribbon li edged 
on each side with chain gimp or braid of the same colour: this trimming Is quite 
novel; and the same ornament Is added to hie cuffs of the sleeves. For the 
autumn, plaid poplins* usually cl ten nut and white, are very dtoiiiiputi capes 
turned hack suit admirably for this stuff, which Is stiff, and makes, charming 
dresses. 

Velvet cloaks reappear; they are made with large revere from the ihooldore 
to the waist. These capes are covered with embroidery. Interlaced eoule wr tntr 
tmilatr. There are also beantiftil cloaks for the. autumn* made of rouleur totr. 
Cut on the cross, like the ancient rritpins ; and two plaits are formed on the 
shoulders. The collar Is surrounded With rather wide gxJooh of the same colour 
and the front is trimmed with eight rows, alike on each side. These gaimt are 
placed ®J pyrnmidfi* that is to say, gradually wider* The colour, the cut, and 
fashion of tills garment are simple, and adapted to a young person* 

The Engraving represents two ladles In fall drafts for the afternoon* The one 
hat on a silk dress blue Motto Louix* with two deep furbelows of stuff like it? 
and plaited gimp ornaments the top of the flounces; the bodice, d la KttphaH 
having a mmzou (f kind of cape) Suh sesw, trimmed with full Valenciennes 
round the nock. A Parisian Kcmwm& in ch (sum-coloured levantine eovara 
this toilette. The Parisian Hcwmwcjt la a kind of vest or wmtooto, hanging 
below the waist; the back Is atmight, and the sleeves are open with toeing*. 
The front Is mad*either full or tight; many will bo worn in velvet and satin 
this winter. It is a faahloa which has arrived from Russia, but In that country 
they are lined with tor. A cap $AngU£rtrt f with bunches of ribbon 
pinned on. 

The second costume is a peach-coloured dress, with three narrow flounces fes¬ 
tooned at the top of a deep flounce from the kneca; a bodice & la viergt; a tulle 
tucker i and a tcurfHOUftrl,peaclucoioured, trimmed with two frills* embroidered:

THE AUSTRIAN DEVOLUTION. 

WE have more than ones endeavoured to correct an error in 
which some Engfish journals that pretend to the greatest influence, 
and to the greatest accuracy, veiy pertinaciously persist— that the 
Revolutions of which Germany is now the theatre, were produced 
by the French Revolution of February* 1848. We do not yield to 
any of those journals in our regret for, or abhorrence of demo¬ 
cratic excesses, whether displayed at Fans or Frankfort, at Vienna 
tr at Berlin ; but we think it perfectly possible to deplore and con¬ 
demn those excesses, without mis-stating facts, or attributing them 
to any other than their real causes* It is worse than idle, to ignore 
the social evils which have produced these political convulsions. 
It is worse than unjust, to imagine that these various populations 
have rushed into the turbulent vortex of Revolutions* for no object 
more worthy or more sane than a desire to imitate the French, or a 
malignant love of turmoil and massacre ; and utterly absurd, to 
suppose, as many do, that, if Louis Philippe had succeeded, as he 
ought to bare done, in governing the French, the mis government 
of Prince Mettemich might have been perpetuated in Austria. 
But such is the riew taken of the extraordinary events now in pro¬ 
gress in Germany, by public writers in this country; and such 
are the false notions of them which they seek to instil into the 
minds of their readem It is difficult to conceive the object of such 
misrepresentations. They can produce no effect upon the Conti¬ 
nent but wonder that English journals of character and reputation 
should be so ignorant* or indignation that they should be so unjust 
and so partial; while at home their effect ultimately, whatever It 
maybe immediately, cannot but tend to convict them either of 
unpardonable misunderstanding, or still more unpardonable per¬ 
version of the truth* 

No fact was better known to those who had studied Continental 
politics, or had taken even the most ordinary interest in the affaire 
of Germany, than the political caducity of the Austrian system 
under the sway of Prince Mettemich. It needed no French Eevo¬ 
lution to prove its rottenness. Prince Mettemich himself, unless 
the common rumour of the last twenty years belied him, scarcely 
expected that Austria would hold together after his death, " After 


me the deluge, 11 was tho melancholy witticism (borrowed from 
Cardinal Richelieu) with which lie but too clearly and emphatically 
expressed his conviction that misfortunes were preparing for his 
country which he might perhaps retard, bnt which ho could not 
possibly avert* He and others may have erred in their calcula¬ 
tions of the time when the event was to happen ; hut his know¬ 
ledge of facts was too intimate to permit him to doubt, that, sooner 
or later, Revolution would he the result of the accumulated per¬ 
plexities of the Austrian Empire- 
That Empire as it existed but 4 year ago (we need not go further 
back into its history) was, as regards its component parts, the 
most extraordinary Empire in Europe—or in the world. Perhaps 
it is premature to say it was; and wc may correct the expression 
by saying that it £e the most extraordinary—the most incohesive— 
the most ill-assorted—the most heterogenous Empire of modem 
times* It is necessary, for the due understanding of the remarkable 


events that are now taking place in and around Vienna, that wo 
should cease to look upon Austria, aa we do upon the French 
Republic or the British Monarchy, as one and indivisible* On the 
contrary, wo must look separately at its component parts, if wo 
would ascertain tho real condition and the wants of each* 

Firstly, there is* Austria Proper, and all those portions of the 
hereditary dominions of tho Kaisers which are German in manners* 
traditions, and language. The movement which has taken place 
in this portion of tho Empire is decidedly democratic, and Is pre¬ 
cisely the same in all its grand characteristics as that which agi¬ 
tates Prussia and other parts of Germany, as well as France* 
Freedom of speech, of writing, and of dehate,and a share in tho Go¬ 
vernment by means of a constitutional and representative system, 
are demanded by the German-Austrians, as they are by the Ger- 
man-Prusaians. There is nothing to be surprised at in this. Such 
demands are the natural rests Its of European civilisation. Prus¬ 
sia was promised a constitution in 1815? and there is such a ne¬ 
cessary, community of ideas between populations that speak the 
same language and read the same books* that what Prussia was 
promised an a matter of grace and favour, was ultimately expected 
both by Prussia and Austria as a matter of right. This commu¬ 
nity of ideas extended still further, and embraced the notion of 
German Unity* Neither is there anything surprising in this. A 
grand German Empire or Federation, of which the existing Fede¬ 
ration of German States gives the shadow but not the substance, 
would so clearly bo to the advantage of each individual State, that 
even tho Monarchs of Germany have confessed the desirableness, 
while they have doubted tho possibility of the consummation. This 
is one of the greatest of the forces now heaving in the Austrian 
volcano. Ra tondouey la dearly towards disintegration. 

Secondly* the Italian dominions of the Emperor are ugiDated by 
the same desires for constitutional forma of Government* and by 
tho spirit of nationality, influenced by language* religion, and tra¬ 
dition, Both forces impel them in like manner to separate from 
Germany* either to establish themselves as an independent State, 
or to form part of a great Federation of Italy* Here again there 
unmietakeablo issue is disintegration*

[Oct, 31 , 1848 . 


Thirdly, thy ancient and proud Kingdom of the Magyars or 
Hungarians, speaking another language, and feeding its mind at 
other sources of inspiration, has its own necessities. The move¬ 
ment in this part of the hereditary dominions of the Einporor dif¬ 
fers from the Italian and German movements in being decidedly 
aristocratic, It fa a movement of the minorityj for the Magyars 
do not form above an eighth or a seventh of the whole population 
of Hungary. But that fraction is powerful, anti desires the inde¬ 
pendence of Hungary. The democracy of Austria Proper, and of 
Germany generally, as well as of 'Lombardy, sympathises with it, 
chiefly because its success would he their sticcesa, and a weakening 
of that central authority which has hitherto been strong enough to 
preserve a nominal cohesion ft the Austrian Empire, 

Fourthly and lastly, are the Sclavonic ami Czech populations, 
more numerous than the Magyars, hostile to them and to the Ger- 
man&—and, without any precise democratic tendencies towards 
constitutionalism, cherishing a pride of race even move intense 
than that of the Magyars. This pride vents itself in the idea of 
** Panslayonia.” Upon the affections of this portion of the peo¬ 
ple the Emperor of Austria seams finally to have thrown himself, 
cither to build out of the materials which it affords a new empire 
more stable and homogeneous than the old, or to use it as a menus 
of recovering his fading authority over the other three races of 
which he is in theory, though not in fact, the ruler. 

Such is Austria at the present day. We have already shown in 
this Journal the woful state to which the finances of the Empire are 
reduced. One fact alone will show tbo scandalous mismanage¬ 
ment of Its resources. At the conclusion of the war m I&15, the 
debt of Austria was two hundred millions of florins. At the pre¬ 
sent time, after a third of a century of peace and of unexampled 
progress in the arts of civilisation in all the rest of Europe, its 
amount is on© thousand millions- Taxation has been carried to its 
extreme limit, and become not taxation, but spoliation. While die 
expenses of the Government and of the army have been and arc enor¬ 
mous, mid of daily increasing magnitude, agriculture aud manufuc- 
ures. without one or both of which no state can flourish, have been 
alike defective or undeveloped. u Bo defective is agriculture in Aus-~ 
tria, w says a weU-mformcd contemporary, * l that, although three- 
fourths of the population are engaged in.it, there is need of largo 
yearly importations of com; and though capital is thus demanded for 
the culture of the soil, u prohibitive system diverts its manufacture, 
whilst this very manufacture is burdened by taxes upon its raw ma¬ 
terial* 1 It is these social and fiscal erifs, not the doings or mis¬ 
doings of the French, which have produced commotion in Austria, 
and which in all countries, unless reformed in time, sow the fruitful 
seeds of political convulsion* In Austria this source of evil has, 
os we have seen, been aided by many others ; and thus, although 
we may confess that the French Revolution his fired tifo train, it is 
quit© clear rhat the gunpowder which exploded was not French, 
but Austrian. 

The position of the Emperor and his Generals at tlic date of the 
last accounts from the capital, will, wo think, be more intelligible 
after these few remarks. Having crushed the Italian movement in 
the meantime by the strength and good-generalship of Marshal 
Budetzky, the efforts of those who rule in behalf of this nufor¬ 
tunate Monarch were directed against Hungary. Jelkchieh, Ban 
of Croatia, was invested with powers to crush the Hungarians, as 
Badeuky had crushed the Lombards—with this difference, that 
the object was concealed. Jdkchich is a Sdavoninn, and shaves 
the hostility of his race towards the Magyars. The plan of opera¬ 
tions was to use the Sclavonians for the purpose of affirming their 
ascendancy in Austria, and of baring the throne of the Kaisers 
upon their support and allegiance. Having made an end of the 
pretensions of the aristocracy of Hungary, Jell which was to per¬ 
form the same execution upon the democracy of Vienna. But the 
ffiriiomo mm too transparent i the Viennese took alarm— p ^v nf T f 
the departure of troops from Ttotuia tv t *import JalluiTlucti* and 
brought on a catastrophe, which has resulted in the second flight of 
the Emperor. He has finally taken refuge among the Sduvouians, 
the lost accounts stating that he wan at Olimutz, in Moravia, In 
the meantime the crisis is hastening : Vicuna is armed to the 
teeth ; the whole population bus been colled to its defence ; and 
the Lamhturm has been raised both In Austria Proper and in Hun¬ 
gary. Almost under the very walk of Vienna, Count Auersperg, 
the Commander of rite Imperial forces, is encamped with a large 
force, apparently only waiting orders or reinforcements to attack 
the capital. Jeltachich is on the march to aid him, at the head of 
60,000 Slavonians : while, from Hungary, Kossuth, at the head 
of 70,000 men, is hastening to aid the Viennese, and try the 
chances of battle with Jellschich and Aucrsperg. While we 
write, the issue may have been decided* Whatever it may be, it 
cannot bat prove the most important event of the many that now 
agitate Europe ; and, in all probability, it will throw into the 
shade, by its magnitude, all the other revolutions that have sig¬ 
nalised, or will yet signalise, the memorable year of 1848,

to transportation, were conditions required by the now Ministers previous to 
their entrance Into the Cabinet. Those measures were already agreed upon 
alnea the vote ou the proposition of M. Dwrien, They obtained,, moreover, the

A return has been made within the week, by the French Mini ster of Finances, 
of tee amount of the receipts received by the Treasury, under thu head of ,f Im¬ 
posts and Indirect Rovouucs,” during the first nine months of 184 $, which, com¬ 
pared with the receipts for the smne period of 1840 and 1847 , presents instruct¬ 
ive though not very gratifying results, it shows a fearful diminution since Feb¬ 
ruary In the aggregate trade of the country; and, notwithstanding the rtimoura 
Industriously spread of a gradual resumption In the trade and manufectureB of 
France* U proven that there Is not the slightest ground for that state incut. By 
the receipts for Jttiy, August, and September, 1 S 4 B* si compared with the same 
months of 1 h47 , it appears that in July thers Is a dlmlnutiun lu the receipts of 
12 , 7 U(i* 30 {> firArtca; in August n dbtiitmtiqii of 13 , 807,000 francs; and in Sej>- 
tomber a cilmlnuttcui of 13 , 761*060 francs. On the whole three months there Is 
juiibiggregHte foiling off of aT/iO^O&O francs as compared with 18413, and of 
40 ,54-1,1)00 francs us compared with 1847 . It also appears that while the felling 
off for the nuarter just post of the present year ta upwards of forty mlllloufi and 
a half, the felling off for the two previous quarters was under sixty-two mlUlons* 
This surely shows no symptoms of a resumption of trade.

threo are significant. The export duties have Increased to tile amount Of 4 A, 0 tif!

Tilt Fart-offlce revenue has increased G 51,000 francs* in consequence of tho enor¬

of February; and the produce of places In the packet-boats boa increased, in 
eunseqaentre of the vast number ef persona who have fled frmu Franco, This 
species of impruvetneut wlU hardly be a mattsrof congratulation to the Minister 
of Finances. On tee other liaml. It will be* «en that thu import duties have 
fallen off to a frightful extent. For Instance, Uuj duties on French colonial

equality* which makes all citizens equal before soristy and God, who created

sufferings* and the remedy of those erife would Ire the incessant object 
and endeavours. Ho regretted to say that tire very 
name of Republic inspired fear and distrust, in consequence of the 
recollections of an other period, and the apprehensions of a return to a system 
2 uesUon : This was tho real emse of the distrust* by 
inspiring doubts for the toture* and the country hesitated to trust in a Govcra- 
tS a<ror f every security. Fhew apprebemstetre* sincere and 

fatal, conBtltt’ted tlie weakness of tho present Govcnimeat. The now Ministers 
should* by every meauv combat these appreheustene, and endeavour to demon¬ 
strate to the people that the Republic was not an agitated state of society and

Assembly should grant them a support and confidence. wUhout whfdi power 
would expire In their bauds, ^ 

A debate then arose on the question of confidence In the New Ministry. MM. 
BSJfeJfand Ledm-Roim* each addressed the 
Houae* and declared that, In the now arrangement of the Cabinet* they saw but 
the most unequivocal symptoms of reaction. The latter wni Interrupted several 

^ length quitted the tribune without 
finishing it* This gave rise to a scene of great confusion * Tho Montaguarda 
appeared determined that no one uhiiuld be lfeteaed to* and Interrupted Crery 
one who differed from them in opinion.—In the course of the debate* General 
Cavalgnsc observed, that it was because tho Assembly had contented itself to 
give the Govemmeutvotoji of confidence, whiclr had tended to weaken It* not 
only ta tils Assembly, but tn the Country, that it liud been brought to the ritua- 
lion to which ao otflor alternative was left but to retire. After the events of

desired the dissolution of the Cabinet* but Its member* having persisted, ho 
wan obliged to construct an other. His object had been to form a serious Cabinet,

tije ronnfiy was accusiomed to honour In them a long-tried poUtical probity. 
That he considered to he a real guarantee for the future, and he did not Inquire 
for tlie more or less remote date of thoir convictions. Tho men who composed 
Uie Ministry appeared to him so intimately in accord with the actual and real 
interest of the country, that be ftp* ttiem hfo most ancondltlomil confi(Ienc«* 
At the approach of the Iftassldenttal olectiou, it was Indispensable that men* en¬

Mmltflry ahoold he a Ministry of conciliation* and not exclusion. He wished to 
rally tho great national party round the banner of the Republic—be meant an 
honest and conacrvntlve Republic. (Loud c!amours on the Loft.) 

After some observations from tho Minister of tbo Interior* M* Girard argued 
that* before giving-tho vote of confidence that was just demanded* the Assembly 
ought to ace at least some or the aefe of the new Mlrdatry.—M Duclero ex- 
preosed a doubt that the new Government waa one of boncillation: and also 
tin opinion in favour of not being too prod pi tare in voting of a Ministry 
which was as yet untried. (Cries of « Divide, divide 1 ”) The Assembly than 
preceded to a division on art. 1 of the bill* when the number* were-For tho

PRUSSIA* 

The National Assembly, at Berlin, on tbs 11th, commenced discussing the 
Constitution. The first fine Of the preamble, We, Frederick Wilhelm, hy the 
grace of God," &c., occupied the whole debate, upon an amendment- of M. 
Schneider, who proposed the omlaiiioii of “by the grace of God." A long 
discussion took place upon this amendment, and* eventually, the question being 
pul, the erasure wjis curried by a majority of eighty-seven votes, the left centre 
having united with tho extreme left. However, although the Chamber have 
thought lit In Its pious wisdom to deny that God’s grace Imu any connexion with 
tha Prussian Monarchy, it bos admitted that Prussia is to exist, the title of the 
Sovereign being decided to run thus: "We, Frederick Wilhelm* King of 
Prussia*" A Polish deputy proposed that the title of "Duke nf the Grand Duchy 
ef roseiT should be added. A discuss!mi arose upon this, an artful motion, and, 
although the sense of the majority was evidently against it, the preposition was 
referred to the committee for a report. The chamber, having commenced the 
discussion of tho Constitution, had, with some difficulty, got through five or six 
words during the sill lop. It ia calculated that if they continue at the same 
pace, it wit! require about nix years to terminate It. 

On the 13th, m the Assembly, the Burgher Guard Law, which of late had 
been the autjdct of much discussion, was put to the final vote* Tho Chamber 
derided, by a majority of I IT votes, for the adoption of the law. The amend¬ 
ments which had been proposed to different articles of the law, and width were, 
1st, that no oath should be taken on the law until the Constitution was com¬ 
pleted : 2nd, that the commanders wore to have the right of assembling the 
Burgher Guard on their own authority j and 3d, that tho Burgher Guard were 
to remain In possession of tho arms they now had, were likewise adopted by a 
great majority. The principal objections which were made to the law have now 
been removed, in consequence of these amendments having been carried. 

A new Game Law, which had been debated in previous sittings, waa also 
adopted by the Cumber In the same fitting. 

Much excitement prevailed at Berlin, in consequence of tho news received 
from Vienna. 

UNITED STATES. 

Wo have this week advices from New York to tho 3rd instant, which, how* 
ever, present hut Ifttla change in political matters. The Taylor and Clay party, 
throwing aside all disagreements, had joined for the purpose ef electing General 
Taylor. At a meeting of the joint parties, hold for the purpose of concluding the 
nomination of Taylor and Fillmore, scarcely a dissentient voice wan heard. 

Much comment had been occasioned by the publication of a letter from Sena¬ 
tor Bunion to tho people of California* He tells the people of California that 
“The civil and military government established ever them as a right of war ts 
at an end, that 4 they have now no lawful Government, nor lawful orlkcra, andean 
got nano except by thdr own act/ and advises them to 1 meet In Convention* 
pmvldaacheap and simple Government, and take care of themselves until 
Congress can provide for them,’ He recommends that Importa which have paid 
HO duties to the United States should pay them to the people of California— 4 say 
20 per cent, m the value whence imported.’ On the subject of slavery be ad¬ 
visee them to do nothing at present. 4 When you become a statu, 1 ho flays, 1 the 
entire and absolute decision of it will bo In you? own hands/ Ho calls General 
Kearney, the late Governor, and Colonel Masou, tho present Governor, 4 each

The steam-propeller OaUah, plying on Lake Huron, had been lost with all on 
board* comprising twenty-five passengers. About eighty kegfl of powder ware 
put on board the Goliah at Buffalo, and 125 at Detroit, which were stowed care¬ 
fully In tha extreme bow ef the vessel, the farthest from tho fire, and covered 
with merchandise, Thera were fttS.OW) shingles, 30,00D foct onuraber, and about 
forty tons of preyed hay stowed away between decks and on the promenade 
deck—fonnbig altogether a liighly combustible cargo. The supposition in that 
the vessel took Are, and thegnnpowdcr on board exploded, and thus the 
steamer was lost. The local frepers mention a report that the cook had come 
Bfiboru in & small boat near Lexington, He saw the lire making its way towards 
the powder, when he lowered the small boat and mode his escape. When a short 
distance from the vessel it blew up with a tremendous explosion , and he was the 
only cue left to tell the sad tale* 

J MEXICO, 

By tho intelligence received from the rity of Mexico we learn that Santa Anna 
had applied for his return. The Parades party were still disposed to give trouble. 
The affairs of the country appeared outwardly quiet, but it was feared that there 
Trere dements of revolution within* which would sooner or Later break out into 
upon hostility to the existing Government,

THE STATE TRIALS. 

On Thursday* the 13th, the trial of Mr. H’Mimrt was brought to a close by his 
being found Guilty; and tho trial of Patrick OTtonohue* on the sumo ciiorgo 
(high treason), was terminated on Saturday, also with a verdict of “Guilty 
against tho priaonor, the Juiy adding a recommendation to mercy in both usaea. 

A writ of error has bean advised to those awe, m weU as Lhat of Smith 
0 T Brlen. 

TRIAL OF MR, MEAGHER* 

Monday.—A t the sitting of the Court, Thomas Trwvds Meagher was placed at 
the bar to take his trial for high treason. Tha great interest felt for the prisoner 
was manifested by a much fuller attendance of spectators than hail been wit ■ 
aessed since the oonclusion of Mr, O’Brien’s trial. TJio Lndictmout was similar 
to that on which the other prisoners had been tried; there being, of 
course, some difference In the evidence produced against Mr. Meagher. 
For Instance* some of those oratorical effusions which nailed forth 
Confederate cheers in tho MuMc-hail and elsewhere were read on Monday. 
The objection token in the former cases with respect to the claim of the accused 
to have the jurors’ nmnea and list of witnesses furnished with thu copy of the in¬ 
dictment ten days before trial, was also submitted to the court to the present 
instance, and the some mode was adopted of putting the objection on the record* 
The panel haring boon called over on fines of £10* the Attorney-General ap¬ 
plied to have it tailed over a second time. Mr. Whiteside proposed that the 
names of the gentlemen who had served on the former juries should bo ab¬ 
stracted from tho list of Jnnors, and the remaining names put in tho ballot- 
box, with a view to have tho jury elected by ballot. The Court inti¬ 
mated that on this point they could not interfere; tt was for the At 
tomey-Generel to say whether lie would accede to the propoiftion. 
The Atthmcy-GenereJ drcltoed to do m, and matters proceeded in the 
ordinary way. When tho Jury were about being flworn, Mr. Meagher 
protested against the exclusion of CothoUcs from the panel* The 
objection was not personal: he would a» readily enmmit Ids core to a Pro tea tan t 
as to a Catholic Jury, but on public grounds bo felt hound Aeriouflly hud so¬ 
lemnly to object to the course that had been adopted. After bouic objection* 
on the part of toe prisoner, the jury wu* sworn, ami Mr. Attorney proceeded to 
state tho case of the Crown agoluat the prisoner. 

Tha examination of Mr* Hodges, and of a gentleman Who proved tho liana- 
writing ofth a prisoner to Boms documents that wore given to evidence, closed 
the proceedings of the day* 

Tuesday.—T ho court opened at a quarter before ten o’clock*—T. S. Dobbin, 
tho Informer, waa tho first whne&s examined. He deposed to haring seen Mr, 
Meagher at a meeting of the Curran Club at Dublin, in June. Mr* Meagher was 
no t a member of the Curran Club, hut was a ragl&tered member of the Grattan 
Club ; be attended a meeting All the 22nd of Juno for ike presen cation of colours 
to tho club. It was ft tri-coloured flag. Mr* Main her spoke of them standing 
to their colours to establish Ihc independence of their country. Attended It 
meeting on the 21st. Mr. Meagher wiu present. Mr. Dillon was moved 
to tha chair. No btudnu^ wsfl dono until Mr. Meagher canto. He 
was to tho room when Mr* Dillon was moved to toe chair. It was stated 
lu toe room tout the meeting wits for the election Of an executive 
council* Mr. DIUon announced It from the chair. It waa said that 
a council of 21 members wms too numerous* us their transactions would oosce out 
through so many hands, and Unit there would bn morn &ecraey in a smaller 
number. Mr, Dillon mentioned certain names out Of a letter brought to him 
by Mr, Lalor from Mr, Duffy* who wad In prison; they were the names of per* 
sons whom air. Daffy wished to bo on the executive council; tho names of three 
clergymen were read out—those of Mr. Hughes, Mr. O ihdlcy, end air. Kenyon \ 
tilts name of Mr, Lalor was also mentioned. Some of the members said, that aa 
it was to be a war-council, it waa not fit that priest* should be on it. Tho per¬ 
sons announced to bo elected were Mr. Dillon, Mr. aieogher, .Mr* CFGorm&n, 
(junior), air. M’Goe, and Mr* Devin lteilJy. Mr. Lulor and Mr. M’Dernfott 
wanted those present to give a pledge that they would expedite tho hisnr- 
ruction by the 8Lh of Augurt* Mr* Meagher objected to give any pledge 
of that sort, that bo would have it on the 8Ui: but ho said ho would do 
all to his power to expedite It even before tho 8th. Mr. LMor stated that the 
council of five wore to sit next day to arrange to have four club meetings In 
Dublin on the next Sunday, tho 23d * they were to have no speeches; but toe 
names of the club-men wore to be called out; they were not to toll tito clubs 
anything about where they were to meet nntil shout two hours before tho meet¬ 
ing* as it was considered they should be sufficiently well organised to turn out 
at two hours" notice. The abject of this meeting was to ascertain the numerical 
strcngto of the clubs; they were not to be armed. After a lengthened ctcms- 
cxcunlnation, Dobbin was dismissed* and a police officer proved the find¬ 
ing of the letter written to a Mr. Smith by Mr. Meagher* anil read in 
ourt on tho previous day. In Mr. Smith’s house wore also found 
many other letters to Mr. Meagher’s hund-wrltbiff. Voting and other 
papers -token from Mr, Lalor wore thou put in evidence and identified.-— 
Conatablo Dunlevle deposed that ho was stationed at Eiuiiacorty to July lost, and 
lhat on the morning of Sunday, the 23rd* he flaw Hr. Smith OMJrisn* Mr* 
Meagher.and Mr. DUlon, come Into the town on a ear; they addressed the peo¬ 
ple iu the market-place. Mr. Meagher said he always was mud ever would re¬ 
main tho unrelenting enemy of the British Government i that he had the ho¬ 
nour a short time ago to address 50,000Tipperary raon—that they were prepared 
to do their duty,—Hr* Dillon said that the Wexford men were breve and deter¬ 
mined.—that they all had a gun hi a comer* and kept their powder dry, and if ere 
always $ure to hit their mark. 

After a great deal of evidence and croxi-cxaiulnutfon* during which it was 
contended lhat it was impossible to connect Mr* O’Brien^ und Mr* Meagher's 
pui pose together, the Court adjourned to Monday, 

Silt Tit (TBitiEH.—On Monday, at liolf-piut 1 o’clock* the Lord-Lieutenant re¬ 
ceived tlto deputation appointed at the meeting of tha clUicons of Dublin to pre¬ 
sent a memorial to bis Excellency, preying for a commutation of the sentence 
passed upon Mr. Smltli O’Brien. The Lord Mayor headed the deputation, which 
was composed of several most respeeloblo citizens. The following Is the address:—

AUSTRIA. 

NEW REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT* 

We noticed briefly, to our Pofltscript of lust week, an Insurrectionary outbreak of 
tho people In Vicuna, on the 6th Instant; the partial fraternization of the troops 
with the insurgent*!, and the flight of tho Emperor from tho capital. At tho 
risk of repetition, wo give this week the dataUa of thnso occurrences, to 
order to render moro complete tire narrative of the extraordinary events which 
now convulse the Austrian Empire* from Jto centre to Lta remotest limits, 
adding the latest accounts of ali aubseqihtot proceedings bearing upon the 
subject. 

The publication of tha Intercepted correspondence between the unfortunate 
Count Latour, tha Imperial Secretary at War, and the Baron Jollachlch, the 
Ban of Croatia (noticed last week), having completely confirmed tho auspicious 
which the Liberals of Vienna entertained, lhat the policy Of tha Emperor’s 
Government was to abet the Croatian# secretly against the Hungarians, with 
a view to tho annihilation of the uowly-ttcqmred liberties of tho latter, and to 
tho subsequent cnuMng of tire popular party Ln Austria, the fioatructlon of 
popular liberty' there, and tho ortabHshment of a system of reaction, the 
indignation and rage of the people became greatly excited; and on 
tho 5 th instant this state oi the popular mind was raised to a stUl 
higher pitch of exasperation by the publication of tho Emperor's 
proclamation against the Hungarians. Public opinion had already beau 
put on the alert by the concentration of largo masses of troops 
in tho vicinity of the capital * and the diasetotlon ef the Hungarian Parliament, 
ttiu oppolutiirent of UrtTOTi Jelluclifch to tlio Loni-LieutCnancy of Hungary* and 
Other reactionary measures contained in a previous proclamation, wore re¬ 
garded as but tho links of a chain which was to bind Austria down to what she 
waa previous to tha days of March. It was stated generally, that the military, 
and especially tho German Grenadiers* wore in favour of tho popular caufle- 
Ettrty on tho morning of tire 6th the Grenadiora were orderad to inarch and join 
tire expedition against tile Hungarians. TJicy did not rotosc to quit their bar* 
racks, but they were forewarned of their march and Ite object and hud commu¬ 
nicated with the corp!* of National Guards of the suburb ofGtonpendorf,|n whleli 
their barracks were situate* and with tho Academical Legion, from both of 
which they received a promise that mcueurcs would be taken to prevent their 
departure. 

Such measures were token. The National Guards from tho Ifimdsthurm 
ussembed at six o’clock on tire merufog or tho Gth at the terminus of tha 
Northern Rail road, from which they removed the rails* for the purpose of pre¬ 
venting the departure of the Grenadiers. Tho latter arrived seen after, and 
the cumnuinding officer, seeing that tho removal of his troops by roll was tmpoa- 
alble, gavo ordora for their proceeding on foot to Glinscradorf, a mitlon on tho 
line whoaco he hoped It would bo possible to effect their conveyance by the 
railroad. But lI lls plan too was resisted by rhu National Guards* the 
numbers of which increased with every mi mate. A horricadu effectually 
stopped the march of tire regiments near Hits Tabor-bridge, Orilcra wore given 
for the storming of this barricade; and tho War-office being aware of tlio 
mutinous disposition of tire Grenadiers, several battalion* of ciyalry were in¬ 
structed to escort them, Bnt the Gronadlers crossed tho bridge, scaled tho bar¬ 
ricade, and fraternised with the National Guards. The latter destroyed part of 
the bridge* Urns preventing tho cavaby from interfering. Regiments of Infantry 
were thou drawn up to reduce the insurgents, and to enforce obedience to tho 
cummauffo of the Government, and, Hie artillery arrived at Id o'clock, when tha 
rioters wore summoned to surrender; this they refined to do* for they had 
meanwhile been rain forced by the Academlad Legion. The parties stood thus 
opposed to one another, until a body of workmen proceeded to selio a powder 
waggon and four guns, which they effected without any opposition from the ar¬ 
tillerymen* Bat this act of tito tuBurgents gave nevertheless tho (signal for a 
bloody conflict* 

The Nassau infantry fired three successive volleys, Which were answorod by 
loud cheers and quick discharges from the National Guards, the students, and 
theGr&uadiura* The Nassau Infantry were soon forced to retire and; on being 
charged with tire bayonet, tireir retrograde movement become n downright flight. 
General Brady, their commander, was shot. Tho Government troops hod 2b 
killed; the Insurgents 5 s and there were many wounded, 

„After routing the Government troops, the inaurgente marched from the sub¬ 
urbs into the town, where they placed their guns in the middle of the tfnlvershy- 
squoro; the gates of the town were guarded hy detachments of students and 
National Guards, tire Locate was bounded, and a central committee formed for 
carrying on the war* 

At 1 o'clock a party of the iu&urgent National Guards were attacked on the 
Stephans Plate by a party of National Guards who stood by the Govern moat; 
but after a short fight the latter wore forced to retire Into tlio Cathedral of St* 
Stephen, tire doers of which they then barricaded from within. But the in- 
surgente buttered down tire doors, entered the church, and dislodged their an . 
tagwtiflto, whose loader was killed on the steps of the altar, 

tine Of tho city gales, tire Burgchor, still remained In poaflCftriun nf the Go¬ 
vernment troops* Three compiinies of sapper* and minora, with four guns, 
entered this gate at 3 o’clock, In tire aftenreon. They wore at once attacked 
and totally run tod, in spite of tho grape anti canister which they fired 
from their pieces. Many of them were captured, disarmed, and confined in tire 
University buildings* Formidable barricades wen) constructed while this fight 
was going on* The old fortifications of tho city wore occupied by tho artillery 
of tire National Guards* 

After tills the tide of Insurrection rose to on unconquerable height. Tho riot¬ 
ers cultured the War* Office between the hours of five and six, scluctl tire cannon 
and anus deposited iu that building, and captured the Minister of War, Count, 
Luiour. Tho wretched man was conducted into tha street, and was murdered 
with blows from axes and afedge-hummcto* The people tore the clothes and 
orders from tho bleeding body, and hung tho naked eorpso on n gibbet* where it 
remained suspended, for a whole day, during which tho National Gimrda riddled 
It with musket-bulls* Count Latuur's papers were seized mud brought to tlio 
University, 

At half-post eix o’clock there was but Oho place of refuge left far the troops 
and National Guards who sided with tire Government—that place ivas the Anse-. 
noJ, famous for Us glorious trophies from tire Turkish wars, The people sur¬ 
rounded the Arsenal, and demanded from the garrison that they abouid give op 
the anus which It contained. They refused. A combat commenced* In tho 
course of which the garrison swept tho Keimgmago with grape and canfotcr* and 
kilted and dUahlbd a great number of tire insurgents, WhOflO fury Increased after 
each unsuccessful attempt to gain possession uf the building. The committee of 
students sent several flags of truce, summoning the garrison to surrender, hut 
the boarcra wero shot dead on the spot. Tire people then coimnaaccd bonaburd' 
teg the Arsenal, and the firing continued all tho night through, till six o'clock 
on the morning of tire 7th, when tire garrison surrendered* Those among too 
popular party who wore not provided with weapons wore then armed, 

An eye-witness thus sketches the scenes on tire Gth" At about two o’clock 
toe Guards from tire suburb VViedeu entered the city, and were fired at by tire 
Nationals from tire Kflnitimorvierteh a division of tire Guards which Is de, 
nominated in vulgar parlance tire black-yellows, and considered to consist of 
haughty aristocrats and secret friends of the fallen system. They fired from thu

THE BASTIONS, AT TON)*- 



tbo formation of a now Ministry to Dobblhof, Kraus, and Horn betid, A court* 
derabta number of students arrived in Vienna from Grtlta on this day. 

On the Eth great excitement prevailed to VTenttfl, as It was ascertained that 
Jeliachkh* after liaring crossed the Ldtha, was drawing near to the capital, An 
estflfctte was Immediately despatched to the Emperor, requeuting him to order 
the Ran of Croatia not to advance my farther. At 4 imu on the 9th* the popu¬ 
lation were called under anna, as it was announced tliat Jellachich wo» only one 
league from he capital. At the same time it was announced that the Hungarian 
General, Kwanlh, with an army of sixty thousand, was close to Presburg, and 
following on the heels of hi slippery antagonist. Fifteen steamers on the 
D aim be were conveying In all haste hla advanced guard to the capital, which 
stood with open arms ready to receive him. A great quantity of guns and am- 
munition, sent by Count WlndlBchgtatK, the Military Governor of Prague* tho 
capital of Bohemia, to JeHachlch, wore Intercepted and brooght Into Vienna* and 
it become known that WlndtBchgriitz himself had arrived in the vicinity of 
Vienna. In the evening of the I Oth every precaution was taken against surprise. 
The town was illuminated ; and notwithstanding tho number of barricedes tm 
pedlng the passage of die streete, and which had not been taken away, the gates 
were closed and cannon placed in the most favourable positions. Anna were 
taken in quantity from tho Arsenal and sent out during the day to be distributed 
amongst the people of the surrounding country. The Emperor, it was under¬ 
stood, was at Boscnberg. on the Danube, a cAdfcmi which was the f^ourite 
summer retreat of the tele Emperor Francis. A castle 1ms stood there from 
very audent time, but, excepting a part of tho foundation* the existing edifice is 
Dot older than 1617 . Btfsenburg owes its nam c to a dangerous bend of tho Danube* 
which commences below Tps, , 

While matters wore thus at Vienna, floras thirty Bohemian members of tho 
Austrian Diet assembled in Prague, and, in conjunction with the municipal au¬ 
thorities* held council on the necessary siepa to bo taken for upholding, under 
present cLraumstencofl, the interests of the kingdom of Bohemia. In the course 
of an animated Address, Falacky denounced the recent successful Insurrection 
In Vienna, as well a* tire proceedings of the Magyars, commended tho loyally of 
Jellachich, and declared that tire throne and the dynasty could be uphold only by 
the Northern and Southern Slavonians, lire result of the debate wan that a 
proclamation to tlio following effect woe issued by the Burgomaster and Town- 
Council:—*'Murder and violence to Vienna have succeeded—contrary to th* 
wished of the majority of the Inhabitants—in compelling the Emperor-King 
(KoJaer-Kbnlg) to take to flight* and in terrifying the Diet, the hitherto existing 

minority in which era now acting in an Illegal way. 1 ' 

The municipal authorities of Prague protest against all the illegal acta of an 
assembly which, transgressing the bounds of duty, lias endeavoured to usurp 
the executive power. The violent overthrow of a cabinet, acting with the ma- 
jority of tho Diet, Is criminal and anarchic. Tire mimics pal authorities of 
Prague are deeply attached to tire dynasty and to tho constitution ally Demo¬ 
cratic Monarchy, Bohemia can only prosper when Austria Is independent. 
The authorities of the above city place confidence In tire Emperor and In Iris 
imperial word, Finally, the people of Bohemia are warned against disturbing 
public trauquitliry, and are urged to drive from amongst them all the imsy 
agents ofthe * destructives,' ” 

The Diet received on the 1 Uh a Tetter from tire Minister Horn stoatc! fploca 
from which It was written not published), announcing the resignation of bis 
post, on the ground that he would not be responsible for all the steps wliich had 
been already taken, or which might be hereafter taken. 

On the evening of tire some day Jellachich^ troops were posted on the 
Wiener Berg (Vienna HU1), in tbo immediate vicinity of the city. 

Vienna ItseJf was in a state of complete defence, all tire bastions being well 
mounted* and all the gates well watched. Two of tire suburbs only presented 
vulnerable points. It was agreed that, la ease of imminent danger, the land* 
sturm should be convoked to the aid of the metropolis, by means at signals from 
the tower of Stephen's Church—those signal to be, by day, columns of sen eke. and 
rockets by night. 

It was calculated that w ithin the city there were not less than 106,006 men well 
on nod. 

Meantime, a number of Sclavonian members qf the Austrian Diet took it 
Upon themselves to call A congrefia at BrUun (for the 2(Hh) of all ttaulr parlia¬ 
mentary colleague* wire shared their opinion, Tire object of lira congress was 
to devba tire necessary tneaflurea for upholding the liberty of the FarllanreiH, and 
tha existence of tho constituent Diet In the interest of tire entire Monarchy* 

The Atfitri&n Lloyd'a Gazette thus graphically describes tire state and appear¬ 
ance of Vienna and its environs on tire 12 th 1 " far haps never since the Mid¬ 
dle Ages, when under the first Hapabnrgera, under the sens of Rudolph and 
Albrecht L, tho whole population often- roaa In arms to oppose the exorbitant 
demands oi their seigneurs, have the streets and environs of old Vuvdabuna as¬ 
sumed ao warlike an euipect as la the lust few days. An armed force of certainly 
not less than 80,000 men* capable of doing battle, is moving about in the town 
and/tfu&mJ*y 4 ; and in a wide circle on every side of us, encamped with a me¬ 
nacing attitude, ora large bodies of Imperial troops under tho Jlaptimrg banner, 
prepared, if necessary, by dint of arms, to defend and ensure their Emperor s 
throne and rights in Ms loyal capital, onto more, to tire astonishment of tbo 
world, tho focus ot & revolutionary tempest. 

" From the towers of the venerable old pile of 31. Stephen's the eye can over¬ 
look ail tho legions that surround us- fEutheirers, Morauron, Hus*teaks* Foies, 
Galicians, CV.echa, Bohemians, Germans, and Old-Austrians, They stretch from 
tho camp at Belvedere, on the one aide, to the village of Simmering and to 
tho Danube; on the other* to the Southern, Hallway* in a wider range, from 
Kleln-Neusled to Hiemberg, Mddhog, and Eriihl, to the declivities of the Vienna 
wood, swarm the battalions of the Ban Jellachich—Illyrians, with their rad 
cap**, tire rad cloaks (Seracbsaner), Groats, numerous Grliuxcr, mingled with 
cavalry nud artillery of the Imperial army. 

u At the other side of tire Danube, at SUssenbrunn, there la a Wollachlan regi¬ 
ment—we know not where from and for what purpose—detached bodies of 
pioneer* and cavalry; and on tho mad to Hungary that battalion of Italian 
Grenadiers, which on the tith qf October was ordered to March from Vienna to 
Peflth, and whoso Colonel, Fbmul, was compelled by his own officers to resign 
his commend. In tire background, hewover, In an easterly direction, on the 
right book of tho Danube, anxiously expected, the advanced post* of the Mag¬ 
yars are visible. It seams as if tire whole Monarchy had appointed a military 
rendezvous trader the walla of the capital, to watch with drawn swot da aftd 
sharp eyes over lire spectacle of this great movement of the people.” 
^Notwithstanding tho menacing attitude which It has been seen the military 
had taken up on lire mh and lath around Vicuna, tho latest accounts raontlmi 
that Jellachich ond bis Create had retired from tho Winner Berg towards Styria, 
and Aueraperg had abandoned ills position on the Belvedere and the Schwarts-

100*000 muskets, carbines, and other flit-arms fell into the hands of the citizens, 
and there Is nobody now unarmed In Vienna. The people might have pro* 
claimed any term of government, but not a single cry for a Ttepubuc was heard. 
They want a constitutional Monarchy* but with better guarantees than they have 
hid hitherto i and all this frightful Ima nf life might havu been spared, If the 
Imperial family had entered heart and soul Info the new state of thing*." 

The list of dead and wounded, not including those in private houses and in 
the uiDtiary hospital, published at 13 o'clock oa tire 7th (Saturday), gave its 
dead* 1tS ; wounded, 162. 

In the midst of the scenes above deecribod, Iho Emperor and tbo other iitenl- 
bens of the Imperial family left Vienna early on Saturday morning (the

The transactions of the Austrian Diet, while these bloody deeds wera enacting 
round them, were significant. On the 6th, at H o'clock, several members of the 
Left assembled and sent an address to the President, M. Strobach, asking him 
to summon the members of the House, Hi order that the effusion of blood might 
be stopped. The President refund to comply, because, as he stated, he did not 
t hink ih*c tho TrtflttHT 1 was sufficiently important. Upon tills, the Diet assembled 
without him, constituted itself en jxnwHM'*, and elected another President to 
the person of M. Smutt*. After ranch discussion on the state of affaire, the 
Diet adjourned, and re-assembled at seven o'clock p.if. r end appointed an Exe¬ 
cutive Committee* consisting of members of lire Left. M. Boliner moved an 
address to the Emperor, demanding the formation of a new and popular Cabinet 


with Messrs* Dobblhoff and Hambofitel to Lt; tho removal of Baron JeHachlch 
from hia governorship of Eungaiy; tho revocation of tho last proclamation 
against tho Hungarians, and an amnesty for those Implicated In the riots of that 
day. The House accepted tho motion, and Sant a deputation to tho Emperor* 
Various other resolutions ware *1*0 passed to meet tho emergendeu

aelka was chosen to prepare those document*. 

On the flth tire barricades remained still standing* but there was no fighting. 

In tho mean time tho military who had evacuated the city Joined these who

Up to 2 r*M. on the 12th there was every appearance of a contest. The ftd- 
Yjuiced posts of the Croatian army had commenced a partial attach on the Na¬ 
tional Guards near the gate of the Landetnuso ■ a few shots ware exchanged, 
and then the assailants withdrew. Meantime all the popular force had received

In opposition to the contemplated Sclavonic congress In Moravia, tho Austrian 
Diet has resolved to convoke one in Vienna of the Hungarian races. 

DobbLhoff had resigned on the plea Of ill health, and also because, as he stated, 
the policy of tho Ministry to the course of formation would bo different from that 
of the Cabinet to which he belonged. 

The Emperor was understood to be proceeding slowly to Olmtitz, 

In Dalmatia a rising of tho people, occasioned by the levying of tithes, has

CHAPTER VII*—WE STMfNSTER ABBEY. 

What ft crowd of solemn associations gather around the mind of tho 
intellectual visitor on first entering the ancient walls of Westminster 
Abbey: the very silence which reigns around the vast edifice is start¬ 
ling, and the sound of a falling footstep seems to awaken a thousand 
sleeping echoes that were mute and voiceless as the surrounding 
tombs* We Feel that we are in the presence of the mighty dead; and, 
as wergAze around, the deeds -which throw a grandeur and a gloom over 
the pages of English history pass in vivid succession before the eye of 
the mind. The very pavement seems sir own with the mins of crowns, 
sceptres, helmets, and swords, mitres and eroziera, bent, crushed, dented, 
and broken; while, amid the dim gold and the rusted steel, the green 
laurels of the poet alone remain unchanged* What moving scenes have 
broken the lengthened shadows which those high-piled pillars throw 
over aisle and choir I the christenings, coronations, marriages, and fu¬ 
nerals of departed Monarehs, who have returned to the dust from whence 
they came. Light and darkness, summer and winter, have brightened 
and deepened thousands of times over the shadowy cry pta in which their 
ashes repose—everything grand and imposing is swept away excepting 
tile mighty monuments, w hich scarcely seem the work of human hands j 
they rise like images of eternity, ever bonding and keeping watch above 
their silent graves* 

Here, in the P Lx-office, we are surrounded by Saxon architecture. 
How missive, plain, solid, and majestic is this portion of the venerable 
pile I As it stands now, so it stood before the shores of England were 
startled by the sound of Norman trumpets—a monument worthy of the 
descendant of Alfred the Great 1 The beautiful mosaic pavement that 
lies before the alter in the choir was brought from Borne by the good 
old Abbot Ware about tho dose of the reign of the third Henry—a 
King to whose liberality we are indebted for a great portion of the erec¬ 
tion of the Abbey: for the completion of the whole was the work of 
many eventful years; and before its towers rose, as they do now, point¬ 
ing to the sky, many a crowned head sunk in succession into the dark 
quietude of the tomb. Suns rose and set, and the mighty work pro-

erection: the one with his gold, and the other with his mite of silver 
pennies-—for it was an age of holy steal, and simple faith, and lowly 
piety, m when oar forefathers united together and built up those 


mighty cathedrals to the honour and worship of God. Many of their 
foundations are hallowed by old and solemn memories; they were dug

grew into the full utterance of Out holy creed, Amid the trump and 
thunder of a thousand battle#, they have stood unshaken: they were 
too strong for the d 'stroving hand of man \ and Time, as if in rev&rence, 
his trod lightly as ho stepped over them. 

Amid such an assemblage of architectural grandeur ns the Abbey pro- 
Santa, the mind is filled with a rich confusion of imagery, as if incapable 
of grappling with the wholo. It seems like the sunlight that tlames in 
through the deep-dved windows \ we stand amid a daxzlo of blaze and 
brightness that appears to have neither beginning nor end—hero Hash¬ 
ing like gold, there stealing into the dim purple twitight, and gilding 
as it passes a shrine or a stony shroud \ thou settling down amid the 
vaulted shadowy of the tombs or just lighting faintly in ita passage 
the uplifted hands of the recumbent image, that have been clasped tor 
centuries in the attitude of silent prayer. We know not whether to 
start from the shrine of Edward the Confessor, or the Coronation Chair, 
to count our footsteps through tho long chapters of history; for the 
forms of the actors thanuelvos come crowding around us ; gating upon 
tho one, then seating theuisehras in the other—a rapid succession of 
phantoms, each dazzling the eye for a moment by its splendour, then 
sinking down again into the cold stony image that is doomed to hold 
its hands in the mute, meek penance of unceasing prayer, ns it has done 
through the grey old years of departed centuries. How beautiful I* tho 
figures which graces tho tomb of Queen Eleanor! Gaze on the calm 
loveliness of that matchless counteruince, and you will fancy that a sweet 
sleep lias stolen over it—that it has hut laid down to rest awhile, and 
while dreaming its beauty burst forth and dispelled every shade of 
sorrow, as if Time himself had kopt watch oyer it, and sheltered it from 
dust and ruin with his wings, and guarded it with Mg scythe, 
allowing no mortal finger to touch the hallowed ahrino over which 
he has long kept jealous watch. Death seems never to have 
entered that cold gray marble palace of beauty. Here lie tho 
remains of Richard the’Second and his Queen \ and while we gaze 
upon his monument, and recal hb “ sad, eventful history/* wo think 
ortho undying poetry in which Shakspeare has enshrined him, and 
fed os if we could ait for hour* upon the pavement and toll “sad stories 
about the death of Kings.** Bolmgbrokt ought to have been buried by 
his side; and for the sake of Sbakspearc there would bo no feeLingoutraged, 
nor no disrespect shown to the dead, if his remains were exhumed and 
placed side by side with the Monarch he dethroned* Haw rich and mag¬ 
nificent is Henry the Fifth's monument—every way worthy of tho hero 
of Agincourt I ^Strange that even amid the solemnity of death the eye of 
mr Englishman kindles, while ho recals the splendid achievements of 
this brave King—-that neither the hormrs of war, nor the blood shed at 
that victorious banquet, throw a sickening srasaatfon over the heart 
while we gaze upon the tomb of tho conqueror. The far past seems to 
deaden these sympathies; and wo look upon tho actors as we do upon 
the words on a time-worn monument, which tell how those who sleep 
below once lived and were famous in their day, that they died, and wore 
buried; nod we read and pass on with a feeling of pride, respect, or sor¬ 
row; and the next moment finds us gazing with similar thonghta and 
sympathies upon the grave of another. Above hangs tlto helmet which 
the warrior King wore in battle, showing by the deop dents which are 
imprinted upon it that it was borne into the very thickest of the strife, 
and had its share of blows dealt heavily, when men lived but to “ con¬ 
quer or to die." 

There is a strange want of harmony between the ancient and modem 
monuments. Our ancestor* nnderatood the u keeping” of their subjects 
within the pale of style, beauty, and order better than we do or have 
done. They made their ornaments and furniture to correspond with 
the venerable and costly edifice which their taste and piety bad reared; 
and in the fulfilment of their solemn ceremonies, allowed no meddling 
undertaker to disfigure the hallowed mansion with his grave mockery. 
A glance at the tombs of our old Kings is the proof—they have become 
a portion of Westminster Abbey, while the additions made during the 
hist two centuries are, with a few exceptions, sadly misplaced. Wo look 
around, and fed os if, while in the midst of some impressive ceremony, 
a group of strange maskers liad suddenly broken in, snapped the train 
of our thoughts, and, by their antics, diverted lx>th mind and eye from 
the imposing subjects with which they were before so earnestly en¬ 
grossed. Statues or monuments, that would look well in open squares 
or spacious halls, startle us by their very nakedness, when they step out 
between the shadowy and solemn crypts, where death itself is roofed 
over and vaulted in, at the foot of the mighty mound whose very ma¬ 
jesty is overwhelming. It is as if the eye, while contemplating tho 
grandeur of Parnassus, was disturbed by the white butterflies that are 
ever crossing each other at its base. Mere inscriptions on some Itothic 
tablet would bo better than these abortions: a list of names would not 
offend, hke many of these pale, inexpressive countenances that M fright” 
the dale ** from its propriety’* in marble- The uanie alone in such a 
place would strike the right Chord, while the ... . but we are standing 
amongst the mighty dead. 

The beautiful screen erected frv Blore is a splendid exception to the 
mam of modern innovations. Turn to the monument of Sir Francis 
Yere, in the eastern aisle of the transept, and there you see what true 
genius can produce. 

We will now glance at the Poets* Comer, a spot haunted by sad and 
sweet aasodnitrsiis. Here stands the massy and solemn-looking tomb 
of Chaucer, that “morning atar ” of poetry which first dawned through 
the long night of Egyptian darkness. He, the earliest child of English 
song, was the first bare interred within this great national mausoleum; 
and although the monument was not erected until a century and a half 
after Ills death, there is an antique look about it which would leave a 
stranger to conclude that tho tomb was almost as old as the Abbey 
itself. Gentle Sponsor, author of the i immortal " Faery Queen/* was 
the next heir to undying fame interred in this beautiful sanctuary; and 
Sbakspcare and Jcmson were no doubt mourn ere nt that great funeral. 
Beaumont and Drayton were the next successors who sank into this 
silent city of the dead. M Karo Ben Jonson" soon followed; but he was 
buried In' the northern aisle of the nnve—it is supposed, very near to 
Killigrev/s monument. Cowley, Drvden, Gay, Prior, and Addison, 
although the latter was Imried in another part of the Abbey, may be 
nombored among the fiiwurious dead who sleep thoir long sleep within 
those ancient wails. Many other monuments stand bore erected to the 
memory of our celebrated | toe to, whose remains lie far and wide apart— 
Borne in the Iteautiftil churches of London, others in the quiet seclusion 
of the country. The author of the 44 Pleasures of Hope / 1 whose mortal 
part we followed to the shallow grave which was opened near the front 
of Cbaucerte tomb, was the last true poet consigned to his “narrow 
cell” ia this great graveyard of genius. Grand and solemn were the

Bounds winch seemed more allied to Heaven than earth; echoes that 
rolled on, then died away amid the shadowy crypts and pillared reces¬ 
ses, mounding as if the voices of the shrouded, dead had found utterance, 
and were welcoming home another immortal spirit. Never was the 
funeral service more beautifully or feelingly read than on that occasion, 
by n brother poet. And that old Jerusalem Chamber in which we as¬ 
sembled, with ita ancient tapestry, is itself a Matory. Here the great

nation have hero assembled to make war or peace; and here also, 
stretched upon a pallet before tho tire, Henry the Fourth died: the

where Boliiigbrokc expired.

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS. 


LONDON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1848. 

An article apon the affairs of Austria appears in otir first page* 
Since it was written, intelligence has been received of a most im * 
portant character, tending to confirm the supposition therein ex¬ 
pressed, that the Emperor and his advisers had finally resolved 
to throw the fate of the Dynasty and the Empire upon the support 
of tho Sclavonian party. The war which now reigns in the here¬ 
ditary dominions of th© “Cesnrs * 1 is a war of races—Germans and 
Hungarians upon the one side, Sclavonians upon the other. 
Vienna is for the present safe. Count Auereperg and Jellachich 
have retired—the former from his commanding position on the 
Belvedere and the Schwartzenberg Garden, and the latter from the 
Wiener Berg \ while Kossuth* the Hungarian general, at the head 
of an imposing farce, has arrived to the support of the Viennese, 
and awaits at Eruck the orders of the Diet cither to enter the city, 
or take such ether measures os may be deemed more advisable. 
The advance of Kossuth, after having defeated, with great loss, a 
division of Jcllachich's forces which had been left to overawe the 
Hungarians, has been the cause of the simultaneous retreat of the 
two generate. Their retreat, however, is manifest good policy; 
their object being to concentrate their forces in Moravia, 
north of the Danube, whither the Court has retired, and 
whither Count Windischgriitz is already on the march to 
join them. The danger to Vienna is, therefore, postponed 
only; and either within or under the walls of that cit/, 
or in the country between It and the Emperors head-quarters m 
Moravia, the great battle which will decide the destinies of this 
ancient empire will in all probability be fought. The Croatian and 
other Sdavouian forces at the disposal of the Emperor greatly pre¬ 
ponderate in numbers over those of the Germans and Hungarians ; 
but the greatness of tho danger, the savage nature of the war, and 
the certainty that no mercy will be shown by the Slavonians, should, 
the)- be the victors, may possibly be the means of inspiring the 
populations of Austria Proper and of Hungary with the energy of 
a fife and death struggle. Already, the whole male population 
capable of bearing arms are coded out; and ilie appeal is responded 
to with an earnestness which proves that the contest will be both 
violent and protracted. 

The most deplorable circumstance in this dreadful war is the 
utter want of statesmanship, both in the Councils of the Emperor 
and among the democratic party at Vienna. If there were a man 
of wisdom and energy in the Imperial family, in whose favour tho 
unfortunate Emperor might abdicate, there would he some hope 
that Austria might he maintained in her present position among 
the powers of Europe. Unhappily, this is not tho case ; and Aus¬ 
tria, in the midst of convulsions unparalleled in the history of any 
civilised state (those of France in her first Revolution wore sim¬ 
plicity Itself compared with them), is left to the guidance of the 
nameless camarilla that have the care of the Emperor’s person, and 
supply, ns weli as they can, the mind which is wanting in Mm. 
What the democrats of Vienna will do under the circumstances 
remains to be seen. Perhaps they may have men amongst them 
capable of rendering service to the country, and whose names may 
inspire confidence both among tho Germans and Hungarians ; but, 
if so } Europe has yet to leant who they ore, and is far more in¬ 
clined to doubt than to believe in them. 


The Ministerial modification in France, to which we made re¬ 
ference in our last publication ns having been in contemplation, 
has since been announced* General Cavaignac, yielding to tho 
avowed sentiments and predilections of the majority in the As¬ 
sembly, and against his own convictions, has consented to the in¬ 
troduction into his Cabinet of three now Ministers, who are iden¬ 
tified with moderate opinions. Two of them, Messrs* Dufauro 
and Vivien, held office in the administration of M. Thiers; and 
the third, M. Freslou, is known to be of similar political principles. 
These three gentlemen, like the majority of the Assembly, have 
accepted the Republic as n fact, which they did not seek or wish ; 
but which, being a fact, they are desirous to respect. Their ap¬ 
pointment has given much satisfaction to the friends of order and 
to the parliamentary majority and as much dissatisfaction to that 
smaller party in the Assembly, and to that large party in the streets 
and Jauxbourgs of the metropolis, whose constant bugbear is a 
Monarchical reaction, and who live in perpetual dread of the over¬ 
throw of the Republic. The new Ministers have explained the policy 
they wish to pursue—-a policy of conciliation, and the establishment of 
a durable, and therefore Conservative, Republic. This is dearly the 
only safe course for France to pursue, if order ia ever to be re-es¬ 
tablished ; and if constant struggles, dissensions, and civil wars 
about forms of government, or the interests of particular dynas¬ 
ties, are not to distract that country for many years to come. There 
is some danger that the dissatisfaction of tliis party, under the ex¬ 
citement caused by the Democratic victories of the Viennese, may 
find vent in a renewed attempt at insurrection ; but so many pre¬ 
cautions have been taken, and the middle classes arc so resolutely 
determined to maintain order at all hazards, that euch an attempt, 
if made, would very speedily be suppressed, and the ultra-De- 
mocrats would take nothing by it but renewed humiliation and lore 
of character. A vote of confidence in the new Ministry has been 
passed by a majority of 570 members out of 725 ; and it has been 
arranged, with the consent of all parties, that the Constitution shall 
be voted with the least possible delay k , so that a President may 
be elected, and the present anomalous Government be re¬ 
placed by one of more permanent authority* It is fully ex¬ 
pected. that the Constitution will be voted by the 24th instant; 
and that the Presidential Election may take place towards the 
middle of November. Tho chances of General Cavaignac to the 
dignity arc considered to have been greatly strengthened by the 
accession to his Administration of those men of talent and expe¬ 
rience who had held office under Louis Philippe, and who had 
hitherto kept aloof from serving the Republic. There can be no 
doubt of their sincerity in their new allegiance ? and if M. Lamar¬ 
tine coidd have been included in the arrangements, there would 
have been an additional security for order and tranquillity. It 
may not be too Into to include him at some future period. 


The Cholera has at length reached Great Britain ; but hitherto 
tho visitation has been by no incans sa severe as was anticipated. 
There is, happily, not that panic terror which him existed in other 
countries, and which, more than the disease itself, has been tho 
means of destroying human life ; and all the experience we have 
yet had of it tends to lessen rather than to increase alarm. Medical 
authorities differ upon the question ot its contagion or non^con- 
‘ tagiousuees ; and, without presuming to offer an opinion upon a 
point so important and so delicate, we may ho permitted to stare 
that os yet the progress and course of tho disease rather favour the 
supposition of Its uon-eontogiousness than the reverse. The 
Government, upon the rocornmendation of the Board of Health* 
has abolished the six days’ quarantine upon vesselsi urrmag from 
foreign ports and suspected of Cholera—a proceeding which naa 
not been without its effect in allaying public anxiety.

the secretary proceeded to read the report. This document, which was rather 
lengthy, began by stating that the committee had called the medical officers 
into council* 41 for the purpose of considering what stops should be taken by 
thfi dispensary for the Alleviation of the sufferings of the pour under tho visita¬ 
tion of the cholera. 1 * The medical officer* recommended that relief should bo 
dispensed at flU heura and without recommendation to all persons labouring

dta should be always kept In readiness. Tho medical officers believe that the exist¬ 
ing dispensaries may be made the most useful agents tor tho prevention of cholera,

Dio general board of health and tho City comraJsstancrfl of sowers, Tu the mean¬ 
while they recommend that the sick bo in all cases removed from tho romifa oc¬ 
cupied by the rest of the family, and that m&aauroa should therefore bo taken to 
secure the use of one room In any house where cholera may be present ex¬ 
clusively tor cholera patients. None of the fomHy to enter the room, except nudi 
sa uro necessary for attendance, Noraes to be procured for those who have no

various boards Of guardians. Tim medical offloors recommend tho supply of 
froah clothing and the washing of soiled cletlios, and strongly object to the 
washing of the soiled clothes of cholera palienta along with thnso of the un¬ 
affected, and* therefore, recommend tho opening of washing-rooms with a plen¬ 
tiful supply of hot and cold water in various districts of the City. They 
recommend viritotfonj and an active tarrying out of the “ Nuisance 
Act *" and* finally, they urge the necessity of a plentiful supply of warm clothing 
and flannels ax 1 * 1 wfnB hud brandy for medicinal purposes. The report* 
which was moved by the Rov. Mr. Rogers and seconded by Mr, Saul, was una¬ 
nimously adopted by tho meeting* and, tlianks having been voted to the chair¬ 
man, the proceedings terminated. 

Fees Baths and Washhouses the Poos.—The committee of the above 

excellent charity* situate iu Glasshouse-street, East Smith lei cl* on Wednesday 
mode their third annual report, which states that the establishment is highly 
valued by the poor* as proved by tho ardour and anxiety with which its gratui¬ 
tous bene tbs are sought. It having been found that amongst tho numbers 
who continually flock to tho establishment many have purposely Journeyed 
the distance of five* six* and seven miles During the past year the bathers were 
33,655, and 34,1(43 poor woman had washed anil dried the clothes of thcmselveH 
and families* and 12*610 bad United* The Institution has also gratuitously 
famished many hundreds of the poor in tho crowded and wretched localities in 
the neighbourhood of East flmlthfleld with whitewashes, chlorides* &e r , for the 
purpose of cleansing and purifying their abodes, together with the loan of palls 
and brushes, which to a great extent had prevented tho spread of favor prevail¬ 
ing at different periods. The rescripts of the yew** £367 fa. lid,, have been 
considerably exceeded by the expenditure, it Is to be hoped that an institution 
doing so much good, and in all probability preventing much danger to the com¬ 
munity, will nnt be allowed to sink for want of support . 

Baths and Wahhko uae* At tho meeting of the Marytetano Vestry, on Satur¬ 
day, Mr. Lewis in tho chair* Mr.H.C, Wilson directed attention to the question of 
the supplv of water to tiie establishment now erecting. Ho found, upon reference 
to the minutes of tlia vestry* a very important communication from the West 
Middlesex Water Company* promising to aid the vestry in the establishment of 
up Institution bo much calculated to benefit the poorer classes of the commu¬ 
nity. in order that tho vestry might clearly understand the nature of tho com¬ 
munication , ha would road it. It wasfla follows

Mr. M'Kvily te cemmtewlaner) said the letter alluded to by Mr. Wilson had been 
brought under flfa notice of tho directed of rite West Middlesex Company ; but 
he regretted to say. Instead of that cornisuy adopting a sfraltor course to that of 
the Now River Company with respect to tho baths and washhouses in ttenrgo* 
street, Hampstead-road, on an eetininto of tbs amount of water likely to bo re¬ 
quired, and a request eont in to know what tho company would charge for *uch 
a supply, tho demand w&a *o enormous that the com missioned were perfectly 
nstonfohod.—A Vestryman suggested that tho question about tho supply of 
water had originated In a misunderstanding, and that therefore too much had 
batter not bo said, as It would be calculated to create an unfriendly feeling be¬ 
tween them and the company, and do much harm —Mr, Totter deprecated tho 
Imputation of motives to the Water Company. They had made a most Uherol 
offer* and oh men of honour he was sure they would not go from it,—Mr. Gar¬ 
nett agreed with Mr. Wilson that tho latter he had read was a promtoe, and that 
the Commljisloners ofBaths and Wash houses would not act wisely If they did 
not u«re the matter upon the company, particularly ha the cause wn* one pf 
charity.—Mr. Wilson said he could not move a resolution, but the commlsslonera 
would perhaps take U as tho opinion of tho vestry, that they should endeavour 
to get the question of supply of water settled with tho West Middlesex Company 
forthwith, and report the result to the vestry* 

Employkknt or the Foor.—A meeting fa devise some means of ameliorating 
the sufferings of ttm unemployed poor during the approaching wtntur, was held 
on Wednesday evening at the Western Institution, K* B* Cttbbell Esq.* In the 
elmir* The Iccture-faum was crowded. The chairman, in opening thu proceed¬ 
ings, indicated tlie course proposed fa bo token. The number nf men at present 
oamloyetl lit cleansing tho streets w^as about 500, while 10,000 would la? abso¬ 
lutely necessary to have the work done in anything like a proper manner. It 
was calculated that there wore about siMKJO unemployed mechanics and 15,060 
unemployed labnurera In London* und* if a means of employing 10*000 of that 
Inrgo body could be found, a. very great relief won hi bo afforded hot it to the 
poverty and the rates of the metropolis- There were 250,000 houses hi London* 
und a tax of sixpence on cadi house would fully answer the purprute Intended* 
The plan had already been carried out on a jnnall RCRlO by tJio I*lillanthreplc Asao- 
elation* and the object of the present meeting was to bring the principle Into 
general operation. At the cimdualon of the chairman's address, a body of forty 
men* employed by the Philanthropic Association, were Introduced to the meet¬ 
ing, the chairman taking occariefa to observe that they were earning on inde¬ 
pendent livelihood* who would otherwise have been unwilling suppliants at the 
poor-house. Mr. I. George moved the following resolution j—' 11 That this meet¬ 
ing fa of opinion that a great number of the poor might bo profitably employed 
by the different parishes fa cleansing, white .washing* and purifying the un¬ 
wholesome dwellings which abound In the metropolis* and thus prevent the 
spreading of cholera* lyphun, and other diseases; that it fa Important that pa- 
rochhO registries ahmtid be kept fa every workhuuHi* setting forth the name,

in order that person* requiring tite services of smeh parties may bo

IIion Tide.—O n Tuesday the river presented a most remarkaW n appearance* 
tho tide having risen to such an unusual height as to cause very serious damage 
to property In the warehouses on either side of the Tbuince- At Lambeth, tho 
houses near the Bishop's Fuloco were completely inundated* and fa many In¬ 
stances the inmates were compelled to make a precipitate retreat. fa Kore-streot, 
which runs from tho end ofltishop's-walk to Princes-rffacet, Ynuxhall. u number of 
poor families were driven from their habitations until the ti de receded* and the 
water Imd been pumped out* Tholicouaodrictuallera at Ban kddo* and other parts, 
ware very groat sufferers, their celtare being completely filled with water. At 
VauxboM* Battersea* Wandsworth, Chelsea* and Mill hank* waterside premises 
were similarly floated. The London Docks, m some parts, appear to him- been 
vlsited, but Immediate steps were taken to check the unexpected flood. Towards 
evening* when the tide was at Its highest point, the steam-boats could scarcely 
pans under the bridges. No accident* of any consequence have taken place. 

Defective Duainaoe of the New Pal Aon at Westkinbtes.—F or some 
days past It has been currently reported that the drainage of the new Houses of 
Psrllament WAS imperfect, and unless speedily remedied might Involve very 
serious considerations. It would appear that some gentlemen from the Metro¬ 
politan SewntH’ Office went fa the New Houses of Parliament for the purpooc of 
examining the drainage* anil 10 ascertain how far it was suitable for the purposes 
Intended, as Improvement might be required fa tho general arrangement of 
that district of tho sowers commission. They found that a renin Una of sewer 
passed through the whrde length of tho building* communicating with imd dLs- 
ebargfag fate the river Thames at Westminster-bridge. On entering this lower, 
the effluvium and stench were so great that the lamps carried hy some of the 
party went out* and this ctreumstance pravod that a large occumuliitiun of foetid 
and inflammable gas was engendered wlthjn. Other lamps w ere then procured* 
and, after considerable difficulty, an advance wan made, which was continued 
until about the Centre of the site of tho building was reached* when an opening 
was discovered in tho crpwn of the sewers large enough to nlfaw the passage of a 
man, and tiro sower being above the level of tho floors of the vaults, no diffi¬ 
culty was experienced fa stepping eut into tho underground apartments 
of the houses nf Parliament* which was accomplished by tho whole Of tho party, 
'the deposit fa some places was so great that it reached nearly up to a man , & 
knee*, und could be waded through with difficulty, and appeared in I fa whole 
length to bo but one continuous cesspool* emitting into thu building above 
noxious exhalations. Stick being the ease* It appears somewhat singular that an 
much consideration should have hecu given to tho subject of ventilation, when 
there is to be found under the houses offensive drainage, which must, an a 
natural eon sequence* emit into t he house of Porllameni* court-yards, and 
avenues* effluvia, that no ventilation* however perfect,can entirely destroy. The 
drains* aIao. laid Into this main sower* wore found to bo defective and opposed to all 
acknowledged principles nf drain igo. Having mode a careful nolo Of the ar- 
rangmnontit and state of the drainage, the party returned to the s]«ot from which 
they first entered ,—Daity .Vowrof Wednesday Inst. 

Cut iMPRovnaiRNTfl —On Tuesday the Commissioners for carrying out. the 
contemplated Improvements within the City of Loudon* g>ive notice that on the 
2flth tost* they wotthl commence the removal of the houses on the east side of 
Cannon street, next Dowgate-hUl mid Walbrook* for the formation of a new 
street from King William street* London-bridge, to Queen-street, Southwark-

MronimBEX SueaToNS. Clebueswell,— Foth-r and John W\tvm ware 
on Friday, October the 13th, placed at the bar* before Mr. Sergeant Ad sms* 
charged with forcible entrance and destruction of property, at It* Milford- 
lane* premises connected with tho Jlluslrated London News estublfuhraont. 
Both prisoners were found «■ Guilty,” It was proved that Foster and Wilson 
committed a gross outrage ou Sunday* the 31st of July last* hy nearly den troy- 
tog the building* and thi* was all done while the police were quietly looking 
cm. They allowed this destruction of property, because; Foster falsely said ho 
bad a tenancy, nud hod a right to destroy premise* lie occupied. Tf such were 
to be allowed with Impunity, a crowd of Chart fata and Confederate* might get 
possession of, and destroy London* by asserting they were the tonmttx; on Sun¬ 
days the heart of Loudon being nearly all closed and unoccupied by the persons 
who carry on their business In the week-days, Mr. Sm-g&wt Adams severely 
condemned the conduct of tho police on this occasion* and sold that they were 
very fortunate In not being indicted. Foster waa ordered to Bridie well* to be brought 
tip for sentence ire Friday week: to tbe meantime tho learned Sergeant would 
inquire what flue ha was capable of paying fa the Qucoik Wilson to attend tho 
aiune day to receive sentence. 

Fires in the MKTitofOf.is-Ou Saturday mum tog a flro broke out to St. 
Qeurgo’fl-Htreot* East Smithfiokl* which fa returned by the ILro brigade autho¬ 
rities w having bean wilfully emplaned. The Are was discovered shnrtly be¬

foreigner named TjOwIs Antlionrietfl, and used os a beer-shop imd enilgnuifa'

cceded fa getting tho flames fa tho first floor clown ; but before that was com- 
plotely accomplished, they found two other room* fa different parL of tho 
building on fire* which* ou subsequent inspection, left no doubt that the fires 
were wilfully earned. Mr* Antiiouri$tU, the occupier of the house* hnd gone to 
Germany, and left the house iu the care of two females, who were of opinion 
that sumo one must have entered tho premises fa commit a robbery and have 
fired them. Between M and 12 o'clock* fa the same street* e fine broke out to 
one Of tho largest buildings (No* 76), In the neighbourhood of the Lon¬ 
don Docks. Tho premises, which were ten stories high* Including 
the basement, ware occupied for a threefold purpose, the basement 
floor being used 09 warehouses by Mr* Gcodbehere* emigrant and 
troop fire-hanrth maker ; tho ground-floor was occupied as a church 
belonging to the SeJUpea'* Evangelical Society ; and the eight upper floors were 
let out ns cheap lodging houses to poor families, there being, &t the time tho 
ftfartn was sounded, between 60 and 70 woman and child run In the building. 
They all escaped* The body of flame was so great* that the firemen were unable 
to touch the top of the premises; end whilst engaged o a the floors beneath, the 
roof fell to with a fonrtol crash, which caused the men to make a retreat* hut, 
ultimately, they got the flames entirely extinguished by three o'clock ; the 
upper portion of tbe premises, however, wba burned out* and tho lower floora ea¬ 
ten steely damaged by water. This fire was caused by n spark tiyfag from a stove 

amongst some tight articles.-Iu Uatton-gnrdcn, on Sunday evening* shortly 

before five o T clock, a fire of a serious character* Involving p considerable leas nf 
property, and throwing nbnut 40 or 60 men out of employment, neenrrefi on the

The less fa considerable, as tho factory wan stored with an irrnmnse number of 
picture-frames and valuable Itrekfag-gtasSes, fa-ride* a costly fltock of voneera

tlio premises occupied by Mr* Cummin* and Mr* Pope, The firemen, to 
spits of their Utmost exertions, were unable to confine the spread of the

flrat-fniifa of toe labour* of tire Select Committee of tire Hondo of Cetiumms 
appointed fa March loaf, 41 ta inquire Into ill* Woods, Forests* and Land Reve¬ 
nues of tho Crownfrom which It appears that tbe Royal domain on which 
too greatest abuses liavo been as yet discovered* la the N*w Forest* The Com- 
mitice* fa their report* dated July 2A, 1848, *' regret fa state that since the com¬ 
mencement of their sittings, and In con&jquencO of comnmnfrations which had 
been addressed to their chairman (Lord Dim van), irreguiaritios In the fulling;, 
lotting* selling* and delivering of timber have been found fa prevail ta a very 
Gortons extent iu the Now Forest. Theso irregularities are at present tho subject 
nf tovestljratlon by an officer sent fa the forest for that especial purjtesei by tho 
Commiesfoner of Woods. The Inquiry which it has been found nocessaiy fa con¬ 
fide fa that officer* will prevent him from presenting* probably for some time, an 
accurate report of the result of bis proceedings. t!l The Committee wtll be rts-ap- 
potated next session, when the parliamentary inveblfaatkm will be resumed. 

The evidence already printed discloses n system of ptculrttion of grout extent, 
which has given rise to a statement, that H (k»vonmrent haa resolved that the 
New Forest shall bo disafforested. s ' i'libi report L current fa the Forest imd Ifa 
nolghbonrhoOd \ an!] such determination fa not atull improbable, conoifir 1 ring the 
evils arising from fateHt laws* and the utter oselesslic^ of tho douuto m contri¬ 
buting to the state of Royally. 

A Toe si DorrespundOiU off tiie Daily Nap* has made, tlie^e pertinent observations 
npon the present condltloa of too property ,l This forest lias been almost 
nhunncd by R yal peraonages Ever since the death of Rnfua. Charles U. and 
Genntc HL viaited It, certainly ; bnt, viltli tliu exception of these Monarch*, no 
kindly pontonage^ havtj ever thought mucli of that favourite hunting-seat of the 
Normnn Kings. Even Duvis* tiie tiucciris huntsman, curses tho ftteest evety time 
he enters it. and declares It unworthy the mutdifa*s speed and inspiring music 
nf tho Royal hounds* No one la Interested in the preservation of the New Forest 
bat tbe lawless foresters and bonlurcrs, and ttic gentfamen who have strata to it. 
The former evidently claim a right to the timber* and the fatter possess extraor¬ 
dinary privilojces over tltc pasture* A gtmonsl aeutirneut seems to prorail, that, 
ns the ancient Kings took rossesafoii oi tlio foraat hy vlolance* the desccmluntsof

MARK ASH WOOD, 

In this scene we have ait illustration of forest life, Hewitt thus glances at 
tlie numerous population within the limits of the Forest, who liove “ rot a habE* 
tation there, by one means or other. On tho skirts of tho forest, and round Its 
vast heath', are numbers of poor huts, whose Inmates hare very little viable 
moans of existence, but prefers thotnMilrex to be woodmen, charcoal-burners, 
and act on ; hut it la pretty well understood that punching and smuggling are 
their more prabable avocations Borne of their cabin® «ro the rudest erection* 
of boughs, tuff, and heather. Their pole* for cliurconl-bunxing are reared in 
huge pyramids, with the smallest ends uppermost." 

The condition of the lower inhabitant* and iMirderers of the Forest ha* Sm 
proved mac 1 1 iu a moral point of view of into year*. Of what they were only 
half a century ofpo, the render may form some idon by the ftflfowlug ocftiniit, 
taken from Bernard tfffpin** work:—"The many advantages whidi the borderer a

THE GREAT DEE VIADUCT ON THE SHREWSBURY AND CHESTER RAILWAY, 


Bithts noble structure, the Shrewsbury and Chester Railway crosses the river Ben, in the Vale of Llangollen, at 
one of the lovellm *pota In the principality' of Wales, ’where nature has grouped the various elements ot beauty In 
the richest profu Eon* end art has recorded Us triumphs by first-class works. 

The view from the top of the Viaduct for extent and beauty is unequalled. Beneath winds the Dee, rushing 
by ffucoessfre streams from pool to pooh glancing with silvery light o'er its pebbly channel in one spot, then loosing 
Itself behind a steep bank covered with noble trees, and again appearing calm and tranquil in a glossy pool, in which 
are mirrored the overhanging banks in all the brilliant colours of a autumnal landscape. 

Front the winding river the Trevor Hills rise with terra ted outline on the left hank, and the mountains form¬ 
ing the continuation of the Berwyn range abut ou the right bank: their lower slopes arc richly cultivated, and on alio 
ceaalvo terraces are dotted the white cottages of tho Welsh peasantry, whilst masses of dark wood crown the projecting 
heights. The Aqueduct of Pontycysltto* one of Telford's greatest works, is seen crossing the valley about a mils dis¬ 
tant from the Viaduct, and forms a striking feature In the prospect. 

The Castle Dinas Bran, the Barbels Hhl, and tho Glnelg Rocks, form a background unrival ed foe picturesque effect 


and enclose the vale In an amphitheatre of lovelin&*>» JLiilways, canals, lime quarries, and the distant iron-works mark 
the progress of commercial enterprise. 

The stupendous Viaduct constats of Ml semicircular arches of iJO feet span; and the height from tho hod of tho 
river to the top of the parapet at the centre pier Is 14$ feet. Its length is 1&32 feet. The arches are built 
with a double ring of arch stones four feel deep, having a bread chamfer cut off each arris ; thin double ebarnferred 
ring being continued down tho piers without break to tho foundation. There is no projecting or apring¬ 
ing coarse to break the simple and majestic outline of the arch and piers. The piers are thir¬ 
teen feat thick, and twenty-eight feet six inches long at tho springing of the arch; and have a 
curvilinear batten or slope on the face, which gives strength and graceful form to the whole. The 
Viaduct is founded on the solid rock, anil la built of stone, with the exception of the Interior arching, which 
is of hard fire-bricks. The tint of the alone is warm and beautiful; the quoins or outer rings of the arches and piers are 
smoothly dressed ; all the rest of the work h rough rustic, which conveys to the mind the idea of great strength and 
solidity. The parapet is set on a bold prrtfectlng string. course, -iuppinted on dentals 3 these parts arc in single atones 
smoothly dressed, and give a noble finish to tbi* portion of the design. 


The first atone of tWa groat work was laid on tha Ifith of April, 184G; and the last arch was dosed on the 12tb of 
August, 1848 ; but the ceremony of keying the lost arch did not take place till the 2 ‘jrii of August. The con :truction 
tlurt occupied a period of two years nod four monthU- The structure contains upwards of G4.050 cubic yards of solid 
masonry, and cost about £78,.000. It Is the largest of its class ia the world yet erected ; and its cost per cubic yard 
bears a favourable comparison with that Of any similar work yet erected in this country. This vast structure has been 
quietly and steadily completed without attracting public attention, it being scarcely known beyond tho vale 
which it spans. 

The Viaduct has been erected under the direction, and from the design of, Mr. Henry Robertson, the engineer of the 
Shrewsbury and Chester Railway, who originally laid out this portion of the Railway in November, 1845, and who has 
now conducted the works to successful completion. 

The line was opened to the public on the I4ib of this month- It connects the mineral districts of North Wales with 
the manufacturing district*, anti forms an improved communication between the estuaries of the Deo and the Bristol 
Channel. Birkenhead may be looked upon as its main goods terminus. Throughout its whole length from Chester to 
Slmswsbnry, it traverses one of tho richest portions of England* skirting the hose of the Welsh usonnutria.

TOT! FESTIVALS OF 1S49. 

Tt 1* somewhat early to write nf the Musical FKtttfndi to be given In the 
autumn of ta49, hut already is the active standing commit too of the Birmingham 
gathering In the field* and on important mamn hag been adopted, the result of 
which will Impart im Interest ta the mooting of 1&49, which cannot have been 
exceedi?d at any former festivals. It Is the engagement of Mr. Costa, Musical 
Director and Conductor of the I loyal Italian Opera, Conductor of the Sacred Har¬ 
monic Society, and algo of the Philharmonic Society* to direcUhc performance* at 
the festival ofl»49 This tiombutton b equivalent to an nun (inurement. that it 
la proposed to ameliorate the execution of tho wot-k« by the great meters, and 
that the executants are to be of the highest order of talent, selected without 
favouritism or cliquirai, but cbofien absolutely because tho ability of the players 
is solely to I)e the standard for a place la tho Birmingham orchestra. We con¬ 
gratulate the Committee on their judgment and foresight la this first adminis¬ 
trative act i It Is a guarantee that the festival of noxtyear will be one indica¬ 
tive of pfogTt'HA la art. 

The Monday evening concerts at tho Town Hall, under the direction of Mr. 
Stephen* are continued with the greatest spirit. The selections comprise cho- 
ruses, k'oOk, madrigals, quartets* trios* duos. &d , of composers of every school, 
interspersed with organ-playing by Sir. Stimpson, Thus the Birmingham choral 
forces are in constant practice, and their sot vices secum for themselves the ad¬ 
vantage of a fund In the event of sick ness. The prices of admission ore 3d. 
to tiie Hour, and f*L to tho side galleries t and there Is always an auditory of 
more than one thousand persons to listen to the music. This is truly a national 
n« well il^ a rational undertaking; and it Is only to bo regretted that London does 
not possess euch an edifice devoted to such clviliulng and charitable purposes. 

The example of the Norwich and Birmingham amateurs. In having permanent 
practice for their choral singers, might be followed by the towns in the Three 
Choirs, so as to secure a local chorus, with the aid of London professionals, for 
the Feefttll*. Huroford is to have the rowsting of 1849; and we trust that the 
■towards ter the time being will see the importance nf engaging a special pro¬ 
fessor m conductor, whose experience wUl be a guarantee ter the effective execu¬ 
tion of the morning and evening performances, A clever musical director la as 
requisite for a Festival, as a first-rale vocalist or the most skilful lustrum an* 
tails*. 

Amateur Hcstcal SocikTT.— 1 The annual statement of the accounts ter ihe 
second season, IMH. has been submitted to the subscribers. The receipts have 
been £876 Ss. fid, and the pay men Is .£$39 12a. In 1847 the receipts wore £708 
4s. fid., and ihe expenditure £808 Gs, M. Thus tho deficiency of tha first -season 
has boon reduced to £13 5s. M.* which sum includes £18 Gs. far still unpaid 
subscription*. The society has reason to be gratified with this result. It muy 
bo mentioned tliat In the expenditure there Is an ltern of £G23 las. lid. for pro¬ 
fessional ongagements—a proof that artists benefit by this association of amateurs* 
The only obj reUnnablercgulation in this society. Is t hatenabl tag members roq ul ring 
more tlitin one visiter’s ticket to take out an extra tialf-snhseriptfrm ; and this rule 
is almost making the concerts of the society public ontartairnnenta* and must 
affect in some degree tho organized professional concerts of the aoaaon The 
amateurs, considering their wealth and position, ought to Invite their friend*, 
if their presence be desired. The third season will commence at the Hanover- 
square Booms— March 2nd for the rehearsal, runl March the 7th for the concert; 
and the hour of performance la changed from 8 to half-past 8 o’clock.

val has now assumed lb proper station amongst the great periodical cele¬ 
brations of the kingdom—not merely a congress of musicians and pools—not 
merely an opportunity ter evoking the chorus of bardic lore and the minstrelsy 
of early days, bat an Eisteddfod whero the great and 1 mimed of this and other 
lands meet the descendants of an aboriginal people, rich in historical asgoclu- 
tic ns, holding learned and elaborate dissertation*, as well as enjoying the exhila¬

Eisteddfod was densely crowded each day. In addition to tho local gentry, 
there were also tho Marquis of North amptern* Lord Fielding (who has accepted

effleiency of the anurs In the powerful parts that rcqul/td good comic acting, 
i*nd, secondly, that *■ S^^ftd 1 lll!^ , * Is not a grand opera* and k better

the story, ia a happy conception of the composer. A hunting chorus opens 
the opera, in which there Is a good effect produced by the ainjzens alternating 
til© lines folio and piano, thus echoing the notes as it were in the hills. The 
aria d'entraia of LioUne* “ Me, a poor child of the village,” is engaging in tho

height; who nevertheless wishing to stand two Inches taller in the world than

tile higher for the pulling ? Now Mr. Juricho was tills fooif&h man. He wanted 
to stand higher in the world than Ids simple means allowed him; and he had 
uobmltted himself to the tack of debt, to be handsomely drawn out. To get

CHATEAUBIIAHD. 

As Chateaubriand approached the termination o his days* bo retired into a 
sad and solemn majesty nf manner, and » alienee which seemed anticipatory of 
the tomb; yet he was for from remaining tasen&iblo to what, pasoed around. 
AH thtiL breathod of religion, devotion, valour, moved him deeply. Ho wapt, 
wept his last tears, on being informed of the heroic death of tbe Archbishop of 
Paris, and in listening to the detailed exploits of a young and bravo citizen. 
After bis fervent love of God* M. do Chateaubriand had three objects next his 
hearfo-hODOur, llterty, and France. Religion lathe shining ornament of Ills 
literary glory. He was a atocare Christian; his heart waa no less 
convinced than his reason; he believed because he hod suffered. 

I I have fatthp" bo would say, with rioted eyes, “and I would bo a 
martyr with joy.” We cannot doubt this, for no one was ever more ready to 
sacrifice his temporal interest, by a faithful adherence to his principles. He 
mode many such sacrifices to honour, that second object, which was the essence 
of his moral being, and nad ever boon tho hereditary gift of his ancestors. After 
the revolution Of I&30, when the victorious party curried him lu triumph, ah out¬

Chateaubriand to renounce all dignities, fortune, and political influence. Bound 
by respect for hla oath, mere strongly than tempted by the promises of flattery, 
he remained Arm to bis independence and fidelity, at the same timo retaining 
the unanimous respect of all parties.— Sharpe's London Magazine.

The dungeons of Raglan* like these of seme other nasties of ecn tempo raucous

mal gloom, and os he sees how utterly hopeless of escape would be the captive 
once immured; for, from these subtcrnitieoua caverns no cries for mercy could 
reach the air, nd sentinel ctrnld be gained* no passing gaoler wrought to pity ; 
from their deop* dark, Impure recesses, not the utmost exertion of too most 
powerful voice could reach the upper air. The victim was thrust down on in¬ 
clined plane into the dungeon; at Its base tEils declivity waa so steep, that no man 
could, unaided, make fits ascent. There, then* ho remained, bread ring the heavy 
vnjjcrury air that hangs imprisoned in such a den, pouring out, perhaps, his cries 
to that Father nf mercies from whom no hole of earth can hide Ida creature; or, 
perhaps, if his spirit were nnchitateuod from above* in the ravings of hb frantic

OLD ST. PANCRAS CHURCH, RE-CONSTRUCTED. 

I, our Journal of June 10 lint ire Illustrated and doscrltreil the very interotf n& 
remains of the andeut Church of St, Fancras, and announced the commencement 
of the re-edifleation, now completed. 

The style adopted Jn the reconstruction of tbta Church la the Anglo-Norman, 
The enlargement constate of an elongation of the structure westward, by tho re¬ 
moval of tho old tower; the chancel and easternmost port of the Church being 
left In their original form, and only such parts of the walls cut through aa were 
required for the introduction of the windows. 

The additions are* a new tower and staircase on the south side, and a new ves¬ 
try on the north side of the Church, In the beat positions which the very limited 
unoccupied space would permit* 

In these alterations a very large portion of the ancient material has been ren¬ 
dered available. Out nf the heavy mosses of rough stone and rubble-work, of 
which the old tower and other parts of tho structure were composed, sufficient 
rag-stone has been obtained for the entire earing of tho exterior. 

This stone, which has existed In the fabric for centuries, and evidently been 
ro-uaed from time to time, in the successive alterations of former ages, re¬ 
worked, 1 im been again applied to the restoration and enlargement of tbe pre¬ 
sent time i and, consequently, no now stone of the above-mentioned quality has 
been required. 

For the ornamental details, the stone waa Imported from Caen, Jn Normandy. 
During the progress of tho alterations many interesting antiquities have 
presented themselves* as related In oar former paper? among others, some 
Roman bricks, a small altar-stone, and the capitals, broken shafts, anabases of 
columns supposed to have belonged origin ally to the principal doorway, and In 
character evidently belonging to very early Norman times: an early English 
piscina, a redllto of later date, and somo niches, well nxecatod In moulded red 
bricks, of the Tudor period. 

Of too arrangement of the structure, as now restored. It may be observed 
that tho principal feature of the west front is its deeply recessed and somewhat 
richly carved Norman doorway. On either side of the entrance la Introduced a 
circular”!!coded window, agreeing in character with those on the north and 
Buuth sides of the Chureh ? and a wheel window above, the gable being pierced 
with small loopholes for ventilation, and surmounted with a atone cross. 

The western addition to the Church being rather loss In width than the 
main body of the structure, lias on tho south face a Mml-ocmnguliir turret ad¬ 
junct, containing the stall* to tho gallerias; on cither tide of the name is a 
semicircular-headed window, with string-courses and hood mouldings, and a 
continuous arched corbel table immediately below the roof. 

The Tower occupies a still more advanced and prominent position, nearly 
In the centre of thet portion of tho fabric which constituted the Old Church, 

Two small arched recesses, within a larger arch, enclose the dock face, look¬ 
ing south j and a timllnr arrangement, with circular windows* occupy corre¬ 
sponds rag petitions. gast and west. . , 

Tho belfry openings, hi tho four faces of the tower, consist of double arched, 
deeply recessed, louvre openings, within single arches with enriched heads \ and 
three tiers of recoding columns to ouch opening, with carved capitals and stone 
louvres. 

Immediately above the belfry, a carved and enriched cornice, supported upon 
a continuous arched corbel tub to, is flanked at the angle* by caned pinnacles, the 
lower pert or shaft being reml-atiachcd, and supported upon massive corbels. 

From tho upper part .of the corn lea springs tho stone roof-covering, or spire 
which is also utaameu tally carved und plainly weathered in horizontal compart, 
merits, alternately. It is pierced on the jour facai with circular hooded aperture* 
and surmounted vHlh tbe vane from the otu Tower, 

The chancel, on the sooth tide, has, at the east end, a triple-lighted window, 
with smell circular lights above, . . . (l 

The north side of the Church generally corresponds, with reference to details, 
with tlitwo on the south side, but having less carving upon It, te somewhat plainer 
In character, 

Tlio roofa are slated throughout, with an ornamental ridge-covering upon 
thorn; the eastern gable terminating with a metal cross, tho chancel gable with 
tha eld, stone cr&stt re worked; and the staircase roof having a spike finla).' 

The Interior has a central ri#de or gangway throughout tire entire length of 
the church, a ero» elate to the baptistry formed in the lower part of the tower, 
and another In the chancel from the south door to the vestry opposite. 

The chancel work Is entirely of Caen stone, constating of column* supporting 
a semicircular recessed and enriched arch. In the lower part a small arcade is 
fllted to with gilt tablets, containing the usual inscriptions to Illuminated cha- 

^IteWdows immediately above are Med with stained glass, executed by 
Gibbs, to tire beat manner. , , 

Tho main timbers of the chancel roof have scroll ribbons, with appropriate 
texts of Scripture upon them* 

The old altar-stone, found during tho progress of the works, and engraved In 
our Journal for Juno 10, has been embedded in a frame, and re-set slightly raised 
above the chancel flooring, under the communion table. 

Limited funds would not allow of the introduction of a new roof for the 
Church i » similarity of arrangement, therefore, with the old roof lieu been con¬ 
tinued in tire new parte, with acme tiight additions. 

The wheal window at the west end of the Church h filled Jn with stained

gloss: and on either side the ro ate scroll ribbons upon the walls, with appr< 
prints texts of Scripture upon them* 

Tho old monuments have been carefully restored, and re-flxed as nearly a a 
possible In their original petitions \ adding materially to the production of 
ness cf effect to the chancel. 

In tire recent operations rendered necessary for the enlargement of this 
ancient structure. Its preservation and restoration with tlfo toast possible amoun t 
of destruction appears to have been constantly In view. 

The accommodation now provided In the Church Is for 750 persons; origin* 11 * 
only 125, 

The Church was opened, In an unfinished state, for Divine Service, on the 5th 
of July tost, by the Her, Thomas Dale, vicar of tho parish. 

The entire outlay to connexion with tbe enlargement end restoration of this 
Church, with Us fittings and funu tilings, Is about £250Q* ft has been effected 
in accordance with tha detigus, and under the direction, of Mr. A. D. Gough, 
architect, of Lancestor-place.; contracted for* and executed by, Mr* W* S* Dove,

CHAPTER VU* 

TIfE ACCEPTOR BECOMES AN IJiJJATE OF THU QUEEN’s BEStCfr. 

At Boulogne, Furrey found time hang very heavily. There was no lack of 
amusement to the place j and to the suburbs there were quiet, culm retreats, 


cradled to richest landscape—such a* you may find at every turn in Kent* 
Peaceful, luxuriantly wooded nooks, and gurgling translucent” streams— a* 
poets love to call clear water—givo to tins Valley du Denacre the appearance 
of an English del). It must bo confessed that the Chief adornment of Purwjte 
home has not boon pointed in the most flattering light hitherto: and the saga¬ 
cious reader may picture Pursey at Boulogne revelling in the enjoyment of s 
temporary bachelorhood. Be it the province of the writer to ret him right on 
this head, and in parenthesis to assure all bachelor* and maidens, tim£ a homo 
must he truly and Insufferably wretched ere the husband finds protracted hap¬ 
piness elsewhere. Fertile especial edification of women, then, I moat declare 
my Ann conviction, that Pulley (apart from the anxiety upon tho matter which 
had compelled his temporary exUe> felt acutely this separation from his strong- 
minded wife. As they were about to separate they had felt fully tho extent of 
their dependence upon each other for their muted happiness j and If separation 
from a beloved object have no other beneficial effect, it baa at least that of mea¬ 
suring decisively the Intensity of one's devotion* 

If I could persuade myself that the long recital would prove a delectable com¬ 
position to the reader, I might indulge to a right sentimental and flowery de¬ 
scription of tire emotions mirrored in Pnrseyta face as he turned bis serious gaxo 
towards England—not England the mighty mUtress of nations to him then—but 
England that held the wedded mistress of his heart. But I must forbear; 
the limits of my history, and. the Impatience of the reader, bid me toko up tho 
thread of my narrative. 

Ten days after Fursey's arrival at Boulogne, the gay debtor-protecting town 
received Macfuin into its hospitable bosom. Tho advent of his friend was wholly 
unexpected by Purwy, and, was not, therefore, the less welcome. 

“ Ton have come to set me free, I hope? 5 ' sold Fumy*

Isn't itr 

11 1 can arauro you* Maefum, that this delay will ccropromlse mo fear-

u Br heaYBiisl yon don't say sc! My dear Fumy* I curnot express to yon 
how [ have cursed myself for hating brought you Into this trouble. Did ever 
man su Her such a serl ca of mishaps aa 1 have had lately ? It's enough to make 
a mao do something desperate/ 1 

" Wc must muko the bent of matter?, however, T suppose. Didn't yon get the 
other bill cashed ?" 

41 No. Hanged if there's faith enough In all the bill-discounters in London to 
booh & little nigger boy for Heaven. Have you heard from your wife?" 

** I hear every day." 

u That must be a source of great consolation to you, old fellow. Does sira 
hear up against it pretty well ? Of course, she feels year absence ; but I 
mean, does she write in pretty good spirits ? ** 

4, yes." 

At this moment a letter was put Into Pur»y1 hand : it was from his wife* 
andl bore to hlrw the news of old Solomon's residence in his bou*c, and the fel¬ 
low’s diitcoorteous conduct to Mrs. Purvey. Mncftim watched the change that 
passed ever Porsey’s features its the latter read the letter, and was prepare dfor 
hLa fneroTfi anger. The preparation was not in vain, Inasmuch as Pumey burst 
Into a violent pasaion, and called iUcfum the accursed cause ol his utter rain, 

“ This is a pleasant result of my willlngoesa to oblige yon, sir.” 

4i I can understand your anger, Puney. and will not therefore hold you an- 
nrerabio for any disrespectful Ungnngo you may have iddr&taed to me la tho 
heat af your paiaion. I am fully alive to the misery 1 have brought upon you ; 
nnd am deeply, profonndiy grieved tliat all my efforts to ward off this calamity 
hav-o failed as yet. hat let me tall to your recollection the fact that It is not 
playing The part of a genorau* man to taunt an Innocent friend (for I am Inno¬ 
cent in intention) with tiro vain of your prospects. I repeat again, em¬ 

phatically, wliat your generosity slum Id not allow me to repeat ; namely, that 
no effort of mine shall be wanting to restore to you* in a few weeks, any loss 
you may sustain now on my behalf. Letters to the * Posts res tan to' will 
jeadi me In Paris, Fare yon well I" 

And, without waiting for a reply, Macfxim disappeared precipitately, leaving 
Pursey to Indulge in hd very bright hopes for the future. 

To reey at once resolved to return to England* at nil hazards. At worst, lie 
could tnit begin the world again. His furniture would realise the amount of the 
bill t and he might return to his old furnished lodging? a more wary, if not a 
wiser, rmin, Ha could aearuely believe, even iiovr* that he had been fascinated 
by an ingenious scoundrel, and had, as the saying goes, been done* Tie was 
still inclined to look upon the author of ills rtiln ns on unfortunate geotloman 
Whom he was bound to pity, and whose name ha should! exonerate from all 
blame in the matter, In this state of doubt ho returned homo, In the confident 
hope that as hfe goods (which were worth more than die sum distrained for) 
were in the possession of the sheriff, he* personally* was safe. Blissful de¬ 
lusion! 

His wife waa glad enough to »ee him once more at home j a happiness in which 
old Solomon by no means pardeiprund, pftrtlcnlarJy when he was Informed by 
Fnr-ey, that. If he did not behave him self while he was there, ho would, in spite 
of hie years, give him the soundest thrashing he had over received. Tiffs hint 
was not thrown away upon tha old man. It umusod Solomon, however, tu watch 
the confident air of security with which I^rsey trod his parlour carpet, It was 
a delectable study lo that man, versed in villulny.to note the unconcern with 
which the nnaophbhcnted Fumy opened his door to receive the gentlemen who 
were to bear him to that exquislku retreat for ** fast" men, called the Queen's 
flench. 

44 You have my goods, which are worth more tlian the amount. What do you 
want—what claim, then, liavo you upon me ? * 

11 You arc mistiUten. sir," replied the most gaudily dressed of the pair; 11 the 
appraiser says tliey ain't worth a farthin’ more than seventy." 

"The Jew! Why 1 paid one hundred and fifty pounds only last year for 
them 1" 

« Dare say* sir ; but the law ain't anaweruhle for the weaknesses of gents. 
, Coa one geut doesn't know nothing about furniture* hU fellows ain’t com polled 
to share his ignorance. You see. It’s all right/" added the fellow, producing the 
document that gava him power to consign Fursey to the tender mercies or the 
governor of the Queen's Bench. 

Hereupon Mrs. Furscy burst into an uncontrollable Hood of tears, and clung to 
her husband, vowing that they should not bo separated. 

“ No more you needn't. You can get snug quarters there together: can’t 
they, Jem ?” 

** 0’ couree they can—provided they've got the necessary needful*” answered 
the second fnuctioimiy. 

14 Now, mum, It's all nonsense crying In that manner; we'll take earn on him, 
depend upon it. He shan't be ruo over, or lost in u crowd/ 1 
** Si Mice, fellow. Ctmfine yourself to the strict fulfil ment of your duty," 

M Well, then* that Is to see you safely lodged you know whore. So come 
along*” 

Puraey drew bh wife aside* whispered some words of comfort to her; then 
unfolded himself from the arms that bound him to her heaving bosom* and fol¬ 
lowed his captor?. 

Having undergone the usual formalities, Phrsey wa# at length lodged in the 
Queen's Bench Prison, with no very definite Idea &§ to the probable length of his 
compulsory sojourn there. Having had a long interview with his lawyer, who 
assured him he should soon be set free* and written a letter to hid employers 
Containing a candid statement of bis ease, he began to look about him with some 
composure. He strolled into the racquet-ground, where he found a number of 
inouatudiloetl men playing with hotud dexterity. He noticed that tl>o seediest 
man of the patty was the bust player ; and he naturally I inaffined that tiffs skilful 
fedividual owed his dexterity and ehabblness to u Jong residence In the prison. 
This shabby person was a captain, of course. WiutE man who wears a moustache 
and runs In debt fe not ? Wei 1, thii man was perh aps a scamp* a rogue, u licurtkss 
debauchee; but he was the life and soul of Ids foliow -prisoners, and deserves 
lunne c oh side ration on this acorn. He had the most wonderful flow of humour j 
talked with Indifference of his release ; and. when once he was set free, ca- 
claimed In a parting speech to his fol low-prison ecs* “Never mlml; no fernl re¬ 
grets— no moist eyes. I fill all soon be among you again/* This Jovial captain * 
perceiving with his practised eye that Punas jr was a new-comer* accosted him 
with, “ Good day I Glad to meet yen under such extremely favourable auspices. 
Do you Intend to make a long stay?* 

11 I hope not.” 

" Complimentary* truly. Gentlemen,” continued the captain, raising hie voice 
that oil persons In the ground might hear him; lf Gentlemen, here Is a visitor 
who declares that he has Come on a flying visit, and that he hopes soon to tear 
himself from ns* He appears to bo u jolly fellow* however, and we must humour 
him as a novice : for l feel convinced that h& will remain to be worthy of the 
honour which the sheriff has this day conferred upon him‘an honour which 
must bo doubly gratlfyiug to him, since I feel assured it was unsolicited/* 

Tiffs speech was received by the company with considerable upplanMi; and 
Ptirsuy* hidFbewildered* yet somewhat annoyed at the liberty that had been 
taken with him, bowed hla acknowledgments, Ths place was so utterly strange 
to him* that he was fearful af committing some blunder that would make him 
Tldlculoua In the eyes of his fellow-prisoners; and* taking the captain's conduct 
to bo the custom of the priaon, he reaolved to make tile beat of it. 

The limits of tills history do not permit me to give the reader a narrative of

rM.ship* moored ht tho river off Woolwich* without having mads Its uppearaaca 
cither in the other couvfcvriilps clo^c at hand, or In the town* the matter has ex¬ 
cited inquiry; and it has been found that the fetal malady has arisen entirely from 
the bad state of the ship* the whole of the men who have been attacked being 
those who slept on one side of the ship* and none of tho prisoners cl [her on the 
other side of the ™ue dock or oti the upper dock have been ntUicked. It luts 
bCCU discovered that the timbers on this aide of the vessel ure rotten, and the 
water-closetH huvlug leaked, these rotten hicbera have become completely satu- 
ratCil with the soil, bo as fo give forth a very offensive odour. It is said that under 
the advice of Captain Fiferoy, acting superintendent tf Woolwich Dockyard* 
the convicts on board the Justiiki will bo removed from the Arsenal to the Dock- 
yrtid* nnd accommodated in temporary barrack ft till another hulk cun be pro- 
pared for them. It la right tdao io Btare* that* in addition to the above cause* 
two so wore discharge thcnuselve^ into the Thamea at the head aud stern of the 
JustUivi, and It la proposed to carry these s&wera os far its tow-wutqr mark,

It is in this conviction we practice what wo preach, notwithstanding the dogmas, 
from constant urging, like tho Archbishop of Grenada'.?! homilies* “smell of 
apoplexy.” 

This is tiie last week but one of the Turf Session* When next its repre$enta- 
tJves meet for the dispatch of business, they will deserve well of their constitu¬ 
encies If the leisure of the reee&a shall tiavo been applied to a practical revision 
of the uxflttag laws and usages of horse- racing. When the Rules mul Orders 
of the Jockey Club were framed* probably they were sufficient for their purpose; 
but did they promote oil the designs of tho abstract Sport tu its present condi¬ 
tion (which they do not), they would fulfil only the half of thoir pre¬ 
sent duties* Those upon whom conventional observance has bestowed 
authority in racing matters* now deal with betting ns an integral part 
of th* system. The money brought into the ring by person* who are 
neither breeders nor runners of horses is regarded (no matter how fabulous the 
theory) as parcel of the raring exchequer* Does the code of turf Jaws equally 
serve the racing and the betting man ? It lines nut. If, aa tho sequel will 
assume, modern changes in tire principle of racing call for modifications in its 
conditions; if the portion of the speculator—the recognised contributor to its 
[ rcBonreea—be shown to be unjust; limn, surely, the time has como when those 
having cbntronl of tiicao things will reform them altogether* 

The practical effect of racing should be to deduce from methodical data the pro¬ 
perties of Animals engaged (a 1L Now* previous to the year 18d3 feats took 
their ages from tire L*t or May * ngoa now are calculated from New Yeatfs Day. 
We will supposo, then, for thesuke.of illuBtrution, that a;cokengaged In a Freduco 
Stakes for Two-Tcar-Olds, at otie of the early Spring meat lugs, it, foaled about 
Easter—by no moans uncommon* HisTwe-Yrar-Old engagement fells in the first 
week of April—that is to say, a year sooner then it would have done according re the 
calculation of age In I&32. He is, therefore, by the “old style,” a yearling, uud he 
carries ftsi Tib, Occasionally, the Houghton Meeting at Newmarket occurs In No¬ 
vember. The weight for three-year-old colts is Sst Tib. A thre^ycnr-oldfouled 
in Jail miry, and running in November* wants but a few weeks of being four 
years old. Thus the sume wrighta are unsigned to thorough-bred racing stock, 
according to the new style of casting nativiuos* at two years of ago us at four. 
As regard* tire sporting department of the turf, Ihla admits of amendment. 
And how fares It with tht mere speculator ? 

There are two Issues far his invesltnents- winning and losing- lie can only 
win by tim animal lie bocks pasting the chair Arab, bringLng homo its weight, 
and not having crossed tho track of another In the race—contingencies over 
which he taut no more control than Use nuai In the moult* He may lucic because 
the animal he lion backed whs started to lose* vjffi a view to being lightly weighted 
for note 14 crack 1 " handicap—a piece of policy not generally made public. He 
may fijso in consequence of having backed tire host horse in a race for which the 
proprietor ulso po&ressas the worst* arid preferred to win with tho latter* He 
may lose bma&e, Mringfoken £000 to ilOO that, the Javouriio would not win, 
and, iHwg required by tile owner to bet him ,£1200 to £100 to the some effect, 
ho dec and the favourite is " ecruiched*" 

Thetjo arc a few ** modem instances’* of the stmts of racing policy in 'dd. The 
Jockey €lub an an esprit 4* rorps Uhotild look re the blemishes of fta sporting 
system. As a society of gentlemen* It will not shut Its eyes to the doings of last 
week; ns a body of hunmu beluga, with bowels of companion, it will not shut 
its ears to the complaint oven of the leg, when life prayer is^“ £hraf me tefc a

MONETARY TRANSACTIONS OF TEE WEEK* 

(From entr dtp Correspondent.) 

Although money continues abundant. It la pretty generally believed that wlriffn 
n short period it will lefiuma gradually tv (ightirr. n Tho tondoucy at present is 
towards an export of lire precious me tiffs, which will probably bo iingui cured 
by the importaifon of corn required to foOet tire deficfouey arising from the In¬ 
different harvesst raid potato dfeiuisc; while the state of Europe, cfiecklug all 
demand for our maiiufueturos, araat loavu tiie balance ai^iffrat ua to be p*id in 
gold. NotwitJutanchivg, bowever* Its present easy state, Consols have boon 
heavy, ranging from to U5 during tire week. The ireulcmeni on Tuesday 

proved again? t the specufetora for tire fl rise ? r but the coutiuuatiou being only 
1-lfi per cent., proved tire roadlncas with which affairs wore arranged. On Wed¬ 
nesday Consols closed 64f f for Money, but h firmer market on Thursday gave 
the closing quotations at ffei to 6b. lntdligence from Austria and Germany ge¬ 
nerally Is awaited with much anxiety, from tile drand of Russian Interference, 
should affairs not speedily assume a, mora pacific shajre. France* for the mo¬ 
ment* ta disregarded in the absorbing interest felt in the Austrian Insurrccticn j 
but the settlement of tire FntiffdentaJ election la uot viewed without alarm. Ex¬

CLARKE AND VABLETS ATMOSPHERIC PILE- 
DRIVING MACHINE. 

Aunwfi the variotis operations Included In tbs widely-Rxteitd&il field of civil en* 
gfnesrlng, whereof lMo yearn the vast resources of ademce have do no so miich 
towards the redaction of human Ubcmr by substituting for it the powers which 
mist to nature, made available through the medium of an infinity of moclmni* 
cal contrivances, that of pilc-drlvfiig has appeared hitherto to exist in the same 
primitive condition that it ™ in the earliest days of engineering. The nmn© 
alow and tedious monkey and mb engine labours at its work now with no bettor 
effect than it did half a century hack. The economy of timber, now so eaten* 
alvnly uaed in canstnactitniB on rail ways, docks, harbours, and other works, has 
given the operation of pite-drivtog an importance which it never before pos- 
ussed, and mechanical akiU Is at length beginning to be applied to its im* 

raWoa crab-engine, the weight of tho rammer is nocessai^y Hmited 
by the amount of manualpower that can bo conveniently brought to bear upon 
t: anti the necessary amount of Corea In the blow la made up by the height from 
which the rammer is made to fall. But it is found that a flttccessStm of ahon. 
quick blows, with a heavy rammer, does the worki not only wlthmuch filter 
speed, but in everyway with greater efficiency; damaging the timber tras, and, in 
a^fordng it through hard ground which by the old method it would be found 
tawwlblete penetrate. Nwmyth's Direct-Action Steam 
believe. the first application of steam-power to this purpose. Bu . besides being 
ccatly, it U difficult to move about; the source of power, namely, the steam- 
boiler, being fixed to the same framing as the rest of tho machine, causes it to 
ST very heavy and difficult of transport. This also preclude* It* application In 
situations wham It would be exposed to the action of tidal waters—& not unfre- 
queui case Is works of this nature, , 

q An Invention recently perfected by Hesnr, Clarke and Varley, the patentees 
of the Elastic Tube Atmospheric Bail way, promises that 4 ttie power of a steam- 


engine fixed at any convenient spot can* through tho medium of atmospheric 
pressure, may be made available at any required distance by the simple application 
of a vacuum cylinder, with Us apparatus Of self-acting valves, chains, and pulHcs 
attached to a pile-engine of the common construction. 

Our Engraving shows one of these modi top at work, driving piles at tho 
extensive coffer-flam In process of erection for tho purpose of rebuilding tho 
river-wall on the site of the late Are at iron gate-wharf, near St Katherine'* 
Dock, It la worked hy a small high-pressure sten in -engine, fixed on the shore, 
to which Is attached an air-pump for producing the exhaustion, €ommuuica¬ 
tion Is made hence to the File-Machine by longtha of small galvanised Iren pipes* 
connected together by fierible Joints. These appear in. the Engraving as coming 
down from the right to the macldne, which stands near the centre. This latter 
consists, as will be seen* ot an air-cylinder of wrought Iron* open at the top* but 
dreed at the bottom* Within this is a piston ^connected by an iron rod to a chain, 
which passes over a pulley on the top of the frame* the other cad of tha 
chain being fixed to a suspended pulley; over tide passes a second chain* 
one end of which is attached to the rammer, and the other passes 
down to tho bottom or tin? engine, whence again returning upwards 
it Sa fastened to the top of the pile. The action, then, la this:—The rammer 
being supposed down ou the head of the pile, and the piston consequently at 
the top df tli u air C7iinder f the air in the cylinder i$ now nurlfiud by the action 
of the air-pump above* until tho external pressure is sutftetent to coimterbitianco 
the weight of the rammer; this then immediately rises* and* ns soon oj tha 
p La ton has reached the bottom of the cylinder* a motion takes place in tho self¬ 
acting slides, by which tho air is suddenly admitted under the piston; equili¬ 
brium between tho pressures above and below being thus restored, the rammer 
Immediately falls with Its whole force on the pile, bringing In its progress tho 
piston again to the top of the cylinder, when, the slides being reversed, the 
operation Id repeated* Thus a constant succession of short heavy blows Is given, 
and never ceases until the pile is driven to tho required distance into the soil* 
And M, by the ntTingemeut of pullies, the distance between the pile-head and 
the rammer is nlwiys the same, a regularity of action is obtained quite unknown 
n the old File?-Driver. .* * 

The machine Itself requires no attendance while In operation; only one man 


9 employed occaslonaUy wedging np tho pile to preserve its tree direction, rt 
la moved with great faculty from pile to pile, being very tittle heavier than the 
common crab engine* Under the cylinder is fixed a small crab, which La used 
o raise the pile to Ite place previously to being driven.

CHRIST CHURCH DISTRICT UPPER SCHOOLS* 

JOBNSON-STREET* ST. GEOIlGEtS-I N-T1TS-EAST. 

TitE8K additional Schools haro been erected at a cost of £1000, chiefly 
through the instrumentality of the Rev. W* Quekett, lire incumbent of 
the district of Christ Church* The structure, which is a noble pile of 
building, in the Elizabethan style of architecture. Is generally admired. 
G. Smith, Esq., is tire architect; and Mr. Joshua Wilson, of the district 
of Christ Church, the builder. 

The three Schools arc capable of containing upwards of 700 children; 
and were opened on the 12 th inst.. In the presence of Lord Robert Gcon¬ 
venor* M.J\, ami many of the clergy of th e neighbourhood. There are le* 
sidcnces fur u master and two mistresses, and likewise rooms for pupSI- 
toudrere, nnddass^rooms for each school, weir adapted for the use of 
the scholars* 

The upper part of tire building U ao arranged as to be capable of 
being manic one large room fur lectures and examinations, ana will bn 
Used on Sundays for Divine service until tho new Church be completed, 
the loundation-iitonc of which was laid on the same day. 

These are the second schools tho rev* gentleman has built within 
the Inst seven years for the district of ChrisL Church. 

The Junior thereto, os they are now called, arc strangely situated 
under the arches of the Blackwhll Railway, and contain GOD children. 

When the new Church is completed and endowed, there will have 
been spout upon tire district of Christ Church, within the last seven 
years, for tho benefit of the inhabitants, upwards of £22,000.

the railway question 

This spectacle offered by Great Britain in the memorable year 
1845 was by no means creditable to our character as a nation. 
The speculation of the period passed the limits of folly, and bor¬ 
dered upon those of crime. [Under the influence of cupidity, 
men who perfectly well knew that tho Railways then projected 
could not be constructed, and that even if they coaid be con¬ 
structed, they could not remunerate the bond fide shareholders, 
rushed into the market for premiums, and fostered the frenzy winch 
they did not share, As in the Mississippi madness which afflicted 
the French, and the South Sea delusion which made lunatics of 
the English, at the commencement of the eighteenth century, wise 
and foolish, great and little, rich and poor, were smitten with tho 
Inst of gain ; ali ranks and classes of men scrambled for wealth, 
not caring who was ruined if they could gain a portion of tho 
spoil—not condescending cron to look at remote bat inevitable 
consequences, if, in tho meantime^ they could dutch premiums; 
and, in many instances, loading with abuse tho few sago aud cool- 
headed men who in that time of frenzy were courageous enough 
to tell the truth. The madness was so contagious, that not only 
that simple and credulous portion of tho speculators who in good 
faith considered Railway stock as the most stable and the most 
profitable of all forms of investment; but the wiser minority, who 
were perfectly aware that 14 it was not and could not come to good,” 
yielded to the irresistible attraction of the new and fierce excite¬ 
ment of the time. 

Though in curlier periods of our commercial history wo had been 
guilty of astounding folly, all previous follies were cast into tho shade 
by the superior magnificence of this. Too serious to bo laughed at, too 
violent to be arrested, too obstinate to be reasoned down, too attractive 
to be despised, too natural to be wondered at—all that sensible men 


could do was to watch the course of the mania, and predict a day 
of reckoning and a return to reason. As they predicted, the day 
of the reaction arrived. The rush out of railway speculation was 
as violent and unreasonable as the rush in. The madness of cu¬ 
pidity was succeeded by the madness of fear, and dupersand doped 
floundered together into one large quagmire of perplexity, alarm, 
and bankruptcy. So true it is that error invariably carries its own 
punishment along with it; and that the rule of right is never vio¬ 
lated with inpunity, either by small offend era or by great ones, by 
individuals or by nations. 

Bat the great panic blew over, the first unreasonable terror and 
distrust subsided, and men looked somewhat more dispassionately 
upon tho true state of the undertakings to which they were pledged. 
Attempts were made by those whose sole business was Railway 
management, and who were Interested profession aDy, cither as 
engineers or law agents, in the stability and prosperity of these 
undertakings, to put the best face upon the matter, and to depict 
the various projects in tho most flattering light. These attempts 
were far from unsuccessful, and something like confidence in the 
great lines of Railway succeeded the panic of I84G. Amalgama¬ 
tions and extensions became the order of the day. Competing 
companies wero bought up, branch lines were undertaken* and pre¬ 
viously established short lines were drawn into tho 41 system ” of 
the great ones. 

The cost at which all these operations was effected was startling, 
Six, aud eight, and even ten per cent, was continually guaranteed 
to the shareholders of such lines as were necessary for tho extension 
of the great leviathans ; but though people wondered, they did not 
distrust. Shares continued at a premium; tempting dividends were 
declared, and the Railway world continued to wag almost as mer¬ 
rily as before* This comfortable state of things did net, however. 


last long. It was found that, although dividends of eight and ten 
per cent were declared, tho colls were far more onerous than the 
dividends were remunerative; and that the man who received a 
dividend of ten pounds on a share, had not unfrequently to pay 
twenty or thirty as a call, to cany on tho work either of construc¬ 
tion or of amalgamation. Railway affairs underwent another 
change in popular estimation. A new form of mistrust arose—a 
mistrust that these glittering and too beautiful dividends were 
declared out of capital, not out of revenue ; and that the expenses 
of Railway management were too enormous to allow even moderate 
dividends, without a total change of system. We are in the midst 
of this new perplexity at the present moment; and the stock of 
the Great London and North-Western line—the triton among the 
minnows of railways—which, in the palmy days of confidence, 
was considered cheap at 250, is down at par, or a shade under, 
with a tendency to a still further depreciation. 

Other lines, both great and small, are in a similar predicament ; 
and thousands and tens of thousands of persons, who have invested 
their savings in these great national and pre-eminently useful un¬ 
dertakings, see their property gradually melting before their eyes, 
without power to avert the min, or even to stop it at tho point to 
which it has arrived. They would, in many instances, he content 
to surrender their shares, to be secured from further liability. But, 
even upon these terms, they cannot free themselves. Calls continue 
to be made, and must be met—not tinder the simple penalty of loss 
of interest in the concern—hut under the aggravated penalty of the 
liability of the whole fortune of shareholders, if the demand be dis¬ 
regarded . Thirty-one millions of pounds sterling were colled up last 
year; nearly twenty-six millions have been called up this year; and 
the Directors of tho various Companies are empowered by thiir acta 
of Parliament to make further calls for tho completion of their lines.

of no kss than 170 millions. Can the shareholders continue to 
meet this enormous drain ? is one question now vary seriously 
asked. Can the established lines continue (burdened as tlusy are 
with ajnajgamottorub leases, and preference shares) to pay remune¬ 
rative dividends ? is another question no less urgently put* Whilst 
a tlrn-d question, quite as important as either, arises, should both 
of them he answered in the negative, which is—What should be 
done to put m end to the first evil, and to bring Railways into a 
fair condition— useful to the public, and remunerativo to the men 
by whose energy and enterprise these triumphs of our civilisation 
have !>eeTi constructed ? 

Without going minute)? hi to figures, it may be stated, on autho¬ 
rity which we have not seen impugned or contradicted, that, inde¬ 
pendently of a capital of nearly 34 millions expended upon lines 
which as yet pay no dividend, a sum of £107,390,000 represents 
the actual capital of the lines in full operation, and which pay divi¬ 
dends of greater or lesser amount. The traffic receipts of these lines 
in the aggregate, for the past half-year, amounted to £4,346,475* 
If these receipts wore all profit—if the lines cost nothing to manage 
or to keep in repair, the average dividend fairly payable upon the 
railway property of the kingdom would slightly exceed 8 per cent* 
But the receipts are not all profit ; the management is liberal j 
armies of directors, engineers, clerks, drivers, policemen, and sta- 
tion-kcepcrs are employed ■* the wear and tear is considerable ; the 
public convenience is generously looked to ; and trains are con¬ 
stantly kept running to suit both the necessities of the mau who 
travels for business, and the whims of liim who travels for pleasure* 
So costly or so liberal is the management, that the working expen¬ 
diture amounted to £2,100,737 for the past half-year, reducing tho 
dividend from 8 to somewhat less than 4 per cent* 

The attention both of Railway Directors and the public has been 
so strongly drawn to these facts—‘the fail of stock has spoken in 
language so plain of impending ruin, unless a change of system be 
adopted—that attempts have been made to save expense by effecting 
amalgamations of the great lines} and schemes have been de¬ 
bated whereby the fares would be raised to the public, and 
a morning and evening train substituted for the hourly or even 
half-hourly trains that now whirl os from one end of the country 
to the other- There can be no doubt, we dunk, that union for the 
pur]>oaes of cheap and efficient management would answer its ob¬ 
ject* There can be no doubt, also, that tho companies cun not be 
expected to convey the public at fares which are ^remunerative; 
an d ms little doubt, that, if two or three t rains a day would meet all 
the legitimate necessities of the travelling public, it Is a mere waste 
or the resources of the management to ran a larger number* 

But the two last-mentioned reforms are of a nature to require 
tender handling. If the fares be raised too high, and if trains arc 
400 infrequent, travelling for pleasure will receive a check which 
Wdil seriously endanger dividends ; and we shall, notwithstanding 
the magnificent facilities of railway locomotion, make a step back¬ 
wards towards the days of slow coaches, and thousands will be in¬ 
duced to stay at home, who, under the present system, are tempted 
into travelling. Upon the first point, too, although the advantages 
of union arc obvious enough to shareholders, they are not quite so 
obviously calculated to promote the Interest of the public* Already 
th© principal lines are great, and by many considered oppressive 
and dangerous monopolies* A junction of three such lilies as the 
Honh-Wcatcru, the Great Western, and the South-Western, would 
put an amount of power into the hands of their joint directors 
which might be abused* Already some, if not all, of these com¬ 
panies, have shown themselves tyrannical enough* To compel 
people to travel in first-class carriages, they have made second- 
class carriages as uncomfortable as they dared \ and had it not 
been for the* forcible interference of the State, their carriages for 
the poor would have been little if any better than the trucks for the 
conveyance of cattle, 

In France and Belgium, where the State has exercised a more 
careful supervision over Railway management, the carriages for 
second-class passengers are as comfortable os first-class carriages 
with ua ; and the mercenary tyranny of rendering poverty unne¬ 
cessarily uncomfortable has not been resorted to* Tiiis is but one 
of many forms of public evil, which these great monopolies may 
assume ; and it becomes a question of national importance, whether 
it is right to consent to any further increase of power in the hands 
of Hail way Directors. It seems to us—all-important as these 
and other questions of profit are to the great mass of capitalists, 
large and small, who have invested their wealth in these splendid 
undertakings—that we must not, in our pity for than, lose sight of 
the great interests of the whole people, which are involved not only 
in the prosperity, but in the proper management of the great high¬ 
ways of the kingdom* The past career of the men who are now 
at "the head of these lines is not of a character to give either 
Railway proprietors or the public any overweening confidence in 
their prudence or their capacity j and it has more than once been 
pointed out, that Parliament committed an error in trusting any 
private individuals with such powers os have been confided to 
them*. 

The highways of the nation should, w© think, belong to the na¬ 
tion? and die present depression, caused by the faults, follies, and 
over-reaching cupidity of those who undertook,, for private pur¬ 
poses, the management of such large undertakings, oilers an oppor¬ 
tunity for retrieving the past error, and buying them in on behalf 
of the whole peopl e, W hatever Bail way Directors may think upon 
the point, we are of opinion dint the large majority of their unfor¬ 
tunate shareholders would only be too happy to know that such a 
solution of the manifold difficulties that beset them was likely to 
lie successfully attempted by the Legislature of this country*

FRANCE. 

Another modification of the Ministry has taken place tills week: M.Goud- 
chttux having resigned tile office of Minister of the Finances, haa beau succeeded 
by M. Trtmvd Charnel; find M * Uecurt has been appointed Prefect Of the Seine 
in place of M, Trourd Chauvel. 

The tedious discussion on tha Constitution hsa at length been brought to a 
close, and thus one of the throe great steps necessary to draw the French Re¬ 
public out of its ■* provtotonal" state lias been tak&U. The Presidential election 
njul the enactment of a code of “ organic kwa" remain, however, to be account 
pushed* before the Republic can be said to bo fairly on its legs/ 1 The former 
engrossed public attention, almost to the exclusion of every other subject; and 
with respect to it. It was liuderatood generally that tlto Government desired the 
prorogation of the Assembly immediately after tins adoption of the CkmaUtntlon, 
to order to allow tho represen tativee to go Into the deportments* to prepare the 
country for tire election of too President of the Republic, and to direct their eon- 
sti tuonts in the choke of a proper candidate, which was interpreted to mean a 
canvass for General Curaignac. 

Several crowded meeting of the Club of the Kuo do Fdctiers wore hold 
during tho week, for the purpose of considering what part it would be thought 
advisable for tho Moderate party to take on tho subject, M. Degou&j^c, one of tiie 
qnestons of the Assembly* was tire only one who spoke on theno occasions in fa¬ 
vour of tho Government pta* and hi opposition to the preposition of M. Frosuim, 
a member of the Moderate party, who liud given notice of a motion to the effect 
that there should be ne prorogation, and that the Assembly should sit during tho 
election tin ptrnianfutt. He contended that it was absolutely necessary, in rite 
present critical position of affairs. that the representatives should go to their 
provinces, to enlighten and direct the people on the choice Of A President. 
51 Sb Tliiert, Mattgutaj Borryer* See*, strongly protested against any such indi¬ 
vidual plan of action. They declared that it was only u* a collective body, by 
its acts as the representative Assembly of the nation* and by its official political 
acta, that tho National Amenably ought to endeavour to influence public opinion, 
or could do m with propriety and advantage to the State. The result of these 
dtacmi&lciut was, that the club atmout ununimovusly dotermlucil that It should 
oppose tho prerogation; but that ft would, at tho same time, do all in Its power 
to assist the Government In the preservation of order during the approaching 
momentous epoch. 

In the National Assembly* on Friday* tho Govnmment sustained a damaging 
defeat on the snbjoot Of 11 military anbstitutea." In the original project of tho 
Constitution, tho right of rempldcetnmt mtiifaire, or the power enjoyed by every 
citizen who should bo drawn for the artny to sens by e substitute, was inter- 
dictod. This clause was afterwards removed ? and St was proposed to adjourn the 
question until the epoch of forming the organic laws* Conridanblo ahum, how¬ 
ever, wr» created through the country by tho mem rumour of the possibility 
that every citizen might be compelled to servo in the army In person* no matter 
what Ids situation or elrcumitusirais - nod the public: anxiety had become ho 
extreme, that tho majority of the Assembly considered that tire question could 
not even be adjourned, so as to leavu any uncertainty remaining. The Govern¬ 
ment, however* through General Luuiorbclfero, Minister of War* proposed tho 
mere udjonnunfliit* for the present,, of UiO question of Interdiction* and in tills 
they were supported by the party of tha tdtra-Democrata, The Moderate party 
and the Legitimists gave the most energetic opposition to the propoahlon of the 
Gcveramfiiit, and MM. Tillers and Dctarochcjsqii&ljn delivered specctiejj against 
the proposition. Upon the ctivlriou, tlie Goveninteut were left in a minority of 
25‘J agalustOOS. 

On Satnntay, accordingly, the discussion of the question was resumed ; and 
M. TWiera delivered an able speech tall of historic illustration mid reference to 
the wars of the Empire, and the optalons of Napoleon tin the ciMitiituUon of 
armies with a view to showing the impolicy and Impracticability of tire abolition 
of substitutes. 

Tho qntfttioii wm brought to an Issue by tha moving of tire following propo¬ 
sition t— J< Thc right to serve In Hie army by substitutes \& tatordkted *” which* 
ou being put to tile vote, was rejected fey flt}3 to UO. The Aasenifely afterward n 
adopted' on amendment of M. Do&Iongrak, adopting the principle of tire right to

the Organic Law, tire setikuietit nr the mode and cunditlona fey which ouch elti-

On the abolition of tho state of siege in Farto, a decree was proposed by M.

to expedite the connw of lORid proceedings against; the fprc&s. Tills decree was. 
examined in the standing committees of tho National Assembly on Saturday last, 
and the majority of tire Cominiasloaflrx appointed by tlie Cummittesa to prepare 
a report on tire subject declared themselves In favour of tire measure.

In consequence of a report circulated that un tmeute woe about to take place 
under the name of Bonapartism, Prince Louis Napoleon published ta the Jour¬

M. Louis Napoleon has decided to inform Si, Dufattro, Minister of tho Interior, 
of the refnirts; and indignantly rejects all participation in proceedings ao 
completely contrary to tils political opinions, and so entirely at variance with

a complimentary address, to which Si. do Lamartine delivered a suitable answer, 
M, il« Lamartine gave on tire occasion 3000 franca to be distributed among the

The organisation of the SiOQ battalion 8 of the National Guard Mobile was being 
actively proceeded whh at the Ministry of War. Almost all the persons who 
tann ed part of the first category had already received a Ictier inviting them to 
appear at their respective mortem should they havu any complaint to make, It 
was sold tlicit tho SOQ liattaliona were to te simultaneonfily formed before the and 
of tho year, and that a certain part of the officers were to be chosen from amongst 
the noii-comolssloacd officer* belonging to tho sLc companies of veterans in bar¬

Some surprise was manifested in Paris on Monday at tho sight of forty-five 
pieces of artillery, quite new, of the cailbro of 8, Hi* 16, ami ‘i4-pounders, 
mounted on new gun-carringes, anil escorted by a double column of troops,

The Journal du ftupk t Of Bayonne, states that the unfortunate Spaniards,

bad been sent back to Spain hy order of the French Government. It appears 
that after agreeing to t hd r surrender it changed its determination , hut the second

the Anglo-French mediation between Austria and Northoni Italy :—1st. The 
bases of the propositioiui made by England and France are not yot accepted by 
Austria, and, after two montlis of dlptamatic dlsctLision* the place of holding a 
Congress is not yet fixed.—2nd, Tho armistice is prolonged from eight days to 
eight days.—3rd. If the mediation shall not succeed, the Govemmont is ready- 
to resume hostilities, but It alone will be the judge of the time ami opportunity. 
Austria (added rim Minister) has ouly temporised, retiming all propositions made 
to choose a place for negotiations, fnnspruck has bourn proposed, but Austria 
bus not yet replied. KudoUkl fens tailed to the condltlom Of tho armiaticc. The 
Ministry havo made rouionstranccs, which have bccu supported by the me¬ 
diating powers* but no direct answer has been received from the Cabinet of 
Vienna, The (rovemmeTit of the King then declared, that, bound by its pro- 
miae, It had waited the Issue of the mediation, but with Its bund on the guard of 
Its sword. The mediating powers had proposed a prorogation of tho armistice 
for ao days. Austria had replied that she would not attack if she were not at¬ 
tacked, Hostilities were not to be resumed without notice. 

From Milan there Is news of an Insurrection against the Austrians on the lfttfe >

deavoured to turn thorn to account. During several hours the populace very 
freely indulged In iheir love of mischief and plunder. A rich brewer, however, 
made a very determined resistance with the aid of bis men* who kilieil one of 
their natal Lenta and wounded many others. Tito crowd at last feretd an en¬

to colli the Dust Itself to amount, and It was not unlikely that MeasenhauMr*the 
Provisional Conraiftnder-in-Chtef of the National Guard, would place himself at 
tho head of tho movement. He had organised three battalions of /jardes rnomjts, 
and had displayed considerable activity in completing the defences of the city.

the Diet should be transferred from Vienna to some other city, his Majesty re¬ 
turned tho following reply:—“I will take care that full security ho guaranteed 
to the Diet of Vienna* In order that it may continue its labour*, because I desire 
that it may occupy itself, without any adjournment, with the Constitution which

PRUSSIA, 

On the morning of the IGth lost, Rome disturbances of tt sanguinary diameter 
took place, In consequence of a body of labourer having attempted to deatrpy 
aomo machinery, the use of which had thrown thorn out of employment. At 
break of day the 18 th battalion received orders to march to the Kiipnckerfeld to 
prevent tiny tumult. When this guard arrived at tho place, the workmen re¬ 
ceived it In the most friendly manner, and seemed to be full of gaiety, Uufor, 
innately some of tho guards repelled their advance^ and thk greatly irritated 
them and several of tho workmen throw atonta at tho soldiers. Hostilities 
were proven ted* but the workmen tettintod that the guards who had Insulted 
them should tw withdrawn. About twelve o'clock both the workmen and tho 
euarda received reinforcement*. Thu workmen were summoned to disperse, 
bu t instead of doing so hurled stones uttfca guards. Upon this 2ff shots wore fired 
from the ranks of the guard, and four or five workmen were killed, ant! several 
were wounded. The cry of "To anus i" was raised, and some of Um guards 
were disarmed by their opponents, and others were driven off by a showei of 
Htonea The edict was continued in the adjoining streets, Smao of the work¬ 
man took up the bodies of their companions who bad been killed, and exhibited 
thorn In metmE Barricades were formed in tho street* near the Kiipneker- 
fiild r 11ts battle was renewed, and several were Killed on both sides. 
Time umber of pen™ killed i* stated cfflptolty to bo eleven. Tim city wus 
ncrfoetlv tranquil 011 the ISth. In the sitting of tbo National Assembly on that 
duv a petition, signed by 14,000 workmen, whs printed, praying for tiio 
nurdshmeut of tlie National Guards who fired open Urn people, and that the 
fiain might bo interred at the expense of the State, Thu Assembly decided on 
a judicial investigation of Urerireumatttiicfcfl, 

On the 20th the unfortunate victims of the collision between the civic guards 
and the labourers were interred with considerable pump and solemnity. 

On the morning of the 22nd General Ptoel tendered his resignation, and that of 
Ma colleagues, to the King. His Majesty requested the general to withdraw hl9 
reaiimaSon, but won met with a positive refusal- The Immediate cause of this 
a toil on the part of General PfutUs ascribed In a groat measure to the autlci- 
nated mult of the debate on the territorial question. In favour of the amend- 
Tnentof M. Brottewdry* by which the Grand Duchy of Pose 11 will continue in

ration into two (German and Polish) portions, and will not be annexed in aey 
wav to Hie Confederation, but continue, m heretofore, trader the sovereignty of

Tvmvistonally to cover the deficit arising from the ways and means, and the i n -

wbfrb accompanied this project Indicates the reasons which have decided the 
flavor,, ment totake this tneosu re. It was considered necessary either to decree

tlcwfl in honour of the pastor who had giv e n his life for faU fleck ; and that the 
church of Fads, laying aside its mourning, ww with joy the arrival Of a pastor 
disputed to make the same sacrifice, if God should require It. 

The Archbishop replied lu suitable terms. 

He was then cum l sic ted to the altar, whore some prayers were said. He thee 


ascended the pulpit, and delivered an addrest to the people on the duty of the 
pastor to the flock and the flock to the pastor. On returning to tho altar he re¬ 
ceived the obedience of all the priests, who, two by two, kissed his ring, and he 
gave them his blessing* This ceremony terminated, he dianted from his ponti¬ 
fical chair the vespers of St- Denis, first Bishop of Paris, alter which bo gave

crowded with spectators. Lines of priests (perhaps numbering 2000) extended 
to the Cathedral. The Archbishop, preceded by halberdiers and other function- 
arfes, is blessing tho multitude os he bears the crosier.

Tire revels of this olden festival of October—the VIgU of All Saiuta" Day, which 
lion the 1st or November—aro pictured ultli truly artistic feeling, in the aecom- 
P&nying Illustration. One of tire amtrecmontit customary on this nlgiit with 
young people in the North of England is to dive for apples, or catch at them 
when stuck upon one end of a kind of hanging beam, at the other extremity 


THE THEE KANGAROO 
AND BLACK LEOPARD* 

SPEotMiffs of these rare and highly 
interesting animals have just been added 
to the Menagerie of the Zoological Soc¬ 
iety, in the Regent's Park, through Ihu 
kindness of LUsulcirent-Coltiacl Duller- 
worth* Governor of Singapore, by whom 
they have been presented to tho Society. 

The Tree Kangaroo (D^drolugui ums~ 
tut) we liavc figured Is tho first that h&a ar¬ 
rived in Europe allva its habits &e„ 
are perfectly unknown, and it la hoped 
that the Apcdmon now hero may live, so 
that its manners may be bettor observed* 
Its general appcarance^nuch asaimilutex 
to the common Kangaroo, having many 
of that animal's peculiarities. Wo Anil 
toe upper Up slit j tho claw of the toner 
toe (hind foot) double, as in the Kan¬ 
garoo, It MOCtna to have the power of 
moving very quickly on a tree: some¬ 
times holding tight with Its fore fcet* 
and bringing its hind feet up together 
with a Jump ; at other times climbintr 
ordinarily* 

The lilack Leopard Is supposed to be 
a variety of tire common Leopard ■ for 
there seems to he no specific difference 
by which to separate them. Though in 
general It look a black* yeEin some lights 
you Mill see tha blacker spots showing 
through, giving a peculiarly beautiful 
embossed appearance* 

Tennant, In Ills “ History of Quadru¬ 
peds,” noa* figures a black Leopard* 
and describes the variety as follows :— 
l( In Ilia Tower of London in a Hack 
vortoty, brought from lfongalby Warreu 
Hastings* Esq. The Cfdonr universally 
h a dusky black, sprinkled over with 
sputa of a glossy black* disposed ill tho 
same form us those of tho Leopard; 
on turning aside the lialr, beneath ap¬ 
pears a tings of the natural colour; 1 '

LOA t DOjV, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1&48. 

It was bun week to liave been expected, from the tonour o i the 
unconnected scraps of intcUigenco which reached this country from 
various parts of the Austrian Kiupiro, ibut a decisive blittle either 
in or before Vienna whs at that time imminent. A change, how- 
ever, in the relative position of the belligerents has taken place* 
The Hungarian army, which* according to some of these accounts, 
was encamped within sight of the walls of Vienna, is now reported 
to have declined entering the territory of Austria Proper. At a 
meeting of the Austrian Diet on the 18th instant, tho fact was 
an nonneed by Herr Schttselka, who stated that tho Hun garian 
army acted under orders from the Hungarian Diet, He added, 
amid deep silence in the Assembly, that he could not tell whether 
this resolution on the part of their friends was the result of the in¬ 
terview which the Hungarian deputation had had with Count 
Auersperg, or whether it bad been caused by any menaces on the 
part of Russia* The Viennese do not appear to have lost heart in 
consequence* They still reckon upon the support of the Hun¬ 
garians, mid upon that of the democratic party throughout nil tho 
slates of Germany , A deputation appointed by the ultras in the 
Frankfort Assembly, to express sympathy with, and offer aid to, 
the Viennese, arrived on the 17th, and were received with the ut¬ 
most enthusiasm* 

There ore no precise accounts of tho proceedings of Jdlachich; 
nor is the position of "Windischgratfc or hla intentions towards 
Vienna to be very clearly understood from such flying and often 
contradictory rumours as find their way into the German papers. 
It is certain, however, that Auersperg awaits at Inzer edorf tho 
orders of the Emperor. 

It ms probable that the Milanese Jmve taken advantage 
of the critical position of the Empire to strike a new blow for 
their independence j and that the King of Sardinia is on the 
watch for a favourable moment to renew the war* InteLh- 
gence of an outbreak at Milan was received by electric telegraph 
on Wednesday. It is stated that the people, although unarmed, 
bad attacked the Croats of Eafietely; that a general rising had 
taken pluecj that the tocsin was rung from all the belfries of the 
capital and the surrounding district* and that Radctzky had 
mined the palaces and the splendid Cathedral (a world s wonder, 
and the especial pride of the Milancse) p and threatened to, lay them 
in ruins* The Milanese seem to have calculated for support on the 
Hungarians, who form a large portion of the forces under Kadetzky, 
and many of whom had openly avowed their reluctance to be made 
instrumental in the subjugation of tho Italians* No details or 
confirmation of this intelligence have been received up to the time 
at which wo write; hut their authenticity is generally believed.

Tub discussions upon the Trench Constitution were brought to a 
close on Monday night They have excited marvellously little 
interest in France* and still leas in this country. The election of 
President is felt: in both to be a matter of more immediate import¬ 
ance. The Committee on the Constitution, having finished their 
labours, and seen the new Charter safely through the perils of 
debate* have recommended that the President be elected on the 
10 th of December* A special decree to this effect lias been pre¬ 
sented, and, as neither of tho groat parties in the Assembly is 
opposed to it, tho probability is that it will he forthwith agreed to, 
A project for the adjournment of the Assembly until after tlic 
election lias been warmly opposed. General Cavaignac expressed 
his readiness to be responsible for the maintenance of order in the 
absence of the Assembly j but M. Thiers and the Moderate 
have declared that no consideration whatever should induce the 
Assembly to abandon its post, even for a single day. They feel 
that the Assembly, although, by passing the Constitution, it has in 
reality effected tho purpose for which it was called together, m 
virtually the only authority in France; and that* if it were to 
separate, tho chance would be, in the excited temper of the Red 
Republicans, that on its return it would find the doors closed 
against it. M* Ducoux, the ex-Frefbct of Police, said, as much, 
with a significant hint of the desirability of such a consummation. 
The danger is so obvious, that the Moderate majority are fore¬ 
warned and forearmed, and scarcely need the eloquent exhortations 
of M. Thiers to avoid committing themsdves. Wc may expect 
that a host of candidates for the Presidency will declare themselves 
as soon as the Assembly shall have definitively agreed upon the 
day of election. The ultras are undecided between M. Ledrn- 
Roliin and M. RaspaiL The former has gone on a tour to the pro¬ 
vinces, with the avowed purpose of strengthening his own chances. 
The latter is a prisoner in the castle of Vincennes, and cannot em¬ 
ploy the same tactics; but the Red Republicans seem to consider M. 
Raspail the captive a better "card” to play than M. Ledni-Rolhn the 
free man* and to sec in his imprisonment an additional claim to their 
support* 11, Lamartine is spoken of by another section of the Re- 
publicans, but his chances are not great. It seems probabla that 
the real contest will be between General Cavaignac, M. Thiers, 
and M. Lotus Napoleon Bonaparte* 


the habits and virtues of an industrious, intelligent, and peaceful 
community ; and that it must be elaborated by time, and strength¬ 
ened by experience. No people can be tree before they are fitted 
by political education to become so. In this essential the French 
arc as yet deficient; but a more intimate intercourse with England, 
and more frequent opportunities of fratemiring with our people* 
will enable them to understand somewhat better than they do at 
present, the conditions under width nations can achieve and con¬ 
solidate the only liberty tliat is worthy of the name. We trust 
also, for our own sakes, that the good understandiTig between the 
two nations will be permanent ; and that gradually the old ani¬ 
mosities that have separated them will die out amongst tho French, 
ns they have died out amongst ourselves*

Tins Lord Mayor of London is not quite so powerful or important 
a personage as the Prefect of the Seine ; hut in the imagination of 
tbe French ho plays tx part as conspicuous. In their eyes ho repre¬ 
sents not the ancient City of London alone* hut the vast and mag¬ 
nificent metropolis which has grown around it. Wo therefore feel 
no surprise that they should invest him with an importance which 
is not Iris due ; and that their National Guards, who have in such 
large numbers made their appearance in our streets, should express 
their good-will towards England, by a friendly call upon the Lord 
Mayor* A party of three hundred* introduced by a note irom 
their A mbiissador, wailed upon his Lordship at the Rhmsion-IIousc, 
on Wednesdays and the Commandant, in the nmaeot hi a travelling 
companions* expressed the gratification they felt at the kind and 
cordial reception they had met from all classes of the people on 
their visit the British metropolis. Ho added that it was the ar¬ 
dent wish of the National Guard of Paris that the good trnder- 
standing and tho kind feeling which prevailed hetweentlietwo 

countries Should meet with no interruption, and ^ 
belief that such visits ns these, and such receptions as the English 
people had given them, were calculated to cement and uicrca^ the 
friendship of tho two nations. Wc qmto agree m the Gom-

METROPOLITAN NEWS. 


FRENCH NATIONAL GUARDS IN THE METROPOLIS. 

On Monday night upward* of life of the Parisian National Guard* In uniform, 
and wearing alde-urm*, arrived In. the metropolis, vid the South-Eastern Railway. 
From Lonfioibhrldgo numerous omnibuses ami eabaconveyed thorn to'tire foreign 
hotels in the vicinity of Leicester Square : a grout number marching In detached 
parties attracted considerable curiosity a* they passed through the thorough¬ 
fares. The hotels in the vicinity of the Hayniurket, Leicester-square, and He- 
gent-street were crammed to overdo wing by the unexpected influx, and many 
were compelled to put up with very Indifferent accommodation. On Tuesday 
another body of the Parisian National Guards* to the number of 300, arrived at 
the LOhdombrlflgei terminus of tho South-Eastern Railway from Dover, Ar¬ 
rangement were made with the Northern of France Railway for their convey¬ 
ance to Calais* vid Lille ; end Intimation having been given to the authorities of 
Iho South-Eastern and Continental Steam-packet Company of thoir expected 
arrival at Calais, the Princess Maude and Queen Of the Itebjians steamers 
were despatched to convey them In three detachments to Dover, whence they 
Were brought by special train to London. On alighting; from the carriages thoro 
were coaches and cabs In abundance, waiting the arrival of the special trains, 
and on Monday evening they were In considerable demand, but last evening* the 
weather being flue, the minority of the National Guards preferred walking. A 
number of those who arrived on Monday, constating of Laneem, Chasseurs, Vol- 
tigeufti* and Grenadiers, have been promenading the streets at the West End* In 
Lelcester-squaro mure than two hundred formed in regular marching ortter, 
and proceeded to the Horse Guards to boo the Guards! parade. They afterwards 
paid a visit to the Wellington Barracks* and on leaving expressed their wlmi ra¬ 
tten at the comfortable orraugemeuts made fur ttio soldiers. On Monday night 
oue of the National Guards was hustled by some of the swell mob in Regent- 
street, and robbed of Iris purse and watch, with which they escaped. Se¬ 
veral National ft-nurds visited the Central Criminal Court to hoar the trials. 
Must of the other public inatUuttnna ware also Inspected by detached par¬ 
ties. Tha most remarkable visit, perhaps, was that paid by a number of 
these Parisians to the scene of exile of the dethroned King of the French : se¬ 
veral became posseiigera on the South-Western Rahway about mid day on 
Tuesday, and, having stopped at the E&hof station* gratified their curiosity by a 
eight of the Palace of Claremont. In the evening a large party, con listing of 
upwards of 150, visited Covont-Garden Theatre, to witness the 11 Bohemian

large sum sat apart in order to procure those essays has not been misapplied. 
Tho object proposed was that of procuring sound practical Information upon 
mattcra of very great Importance. Tho competitors for these prizes were re¬ 
quired to describe the peculiarities of the soil* the influence of climate, and the 
various modes of farming pursued, in the respective localities* These essays be¬ 
ing subsequently published In the society’s journal* ore widely diffused amongst 
tho agricultural body, who are thus enabled to Judge how far the modes of farm¬ 
ing pursued to their own districts may be susceptible of improvement, and to 
what extent agricultural operations may be prosecuted by chemical or other 
scientific agency. There are at present upwards of six thousand five hundred

London Clemcr' Forsaken? Benefit Butldiso Society—A meeting In 
furtherance or tho object* of tills sooloty, was held on Tuesday evening* at the 
Western fasti ration, Mr, Nelson, actuary to tbe Medical and Invalid Assurance 
Company, fn tho chair—The chairman stated that ha had examined tho condi¬ 
tions on which the society was proposed to be eatablLhed* and was of opinion 
that they were quite capable, and Indeed certain* or fulfilment. Mr, Ball stated 
the objects which were proposed to be carried out* and the mode which was to be 
adopted. Thu first object was to encourage habits of providence In the eia*s of 
clerks* and to enable each member of the body Co purchaso a house for hie own 
r^l.lcnrv, Kuril member, on having deposited about £20, would bo entitled to 
Ouff g.i lIit? society’a foudta to tbe amount of J&300* to be secured to tho society 
by mortgage on t be premises purchased, such mortgage to be redeemed by an 


annual Increase on tbs rent, tho rent going to liquidation of the debt Instead of 
being paid for more use and occupation, as In tbo case of renters* The point jn 
which the proposed society would differ from ite predecessors was tliisj that 
whereas most of toe societies now established wore for a fixed term of yeans, the 
proposed society would ba of a permanent character. The advantage of this 
would bo, that members could come Iu at any period without tho payment of 
/surge arrears, a* in the cue Of societies established for a fixed period* 
They expected to effect this by allowing depositors a rate of Interest 
for the first five years leva than the interest proposed to he charged 
to borrowers. He expected that they would be able to allow five per 
ceat, for the first five yon™, and about seven iser cent* for tho subsequent period 
of deposit. An objection had been made te these societies* that in cases whore 
tho capital lay in the coffers of tho society* no profit could accrue to the depo* 
altorfl. His experience told him that such a contingency was not likely to oc¬ 
cur; on the contrary, be bad generally found It necessary to arrange for ad¬ 
vances from the bankers for tbo purposes of the society. And those advances ho 
had subsequently repaid out of tho accumulations. He had lately seen Mr, 
Tidd Pratt, who had expressed himself most favourably of building societies, 
and especially of thu plan now Introduced to public notice, Mr. Pratt hud told 
him that ihcto woe at the present moment je&,bOO»lfoO invested In building 
societies* tti4 augured the best results from this fuel* as proving tho great 
increase of classes haring an Interosrt in the praservntioa of tiio public peace, 
and tho stability of our institutions. Tbe subscribers to tills society would not 
have to wait for the winding up of the society, or be dependent upou the chance 
of tho affaire having been well managed for tho promised solution, They 
would enter for fixed perloda of five, ton, or fifteen years* paying proportionate 
annual amounts on their shores, and at the end of the stipulated term would bo 
put iu Hbsolulo possession of their property.™Air. Hkhards, solicitor, entered 
into various details explanatory of tho working of tiio society —Resolutions 
pledging tho meeting to lta support were then agreed, to, and tiio proceedings

THE OHOIEBA, 


Some isnUtfid cusea of clmlora have been reported during the week. UcUtive 
bo tiio couvict shlpa off Woolwich, Sir. Kixon, the registrar of the sub-dUtrict, 
Woolwich Areenal, makes the fol’owing statement:—'* The seven deaths from 
Astatic cholera registered by me last week occurred in the Uniti hospital ship* 
among convicts frum the Jvstitia hulk, lying rif the Roy id Arsenal wharf* Tbe 
surgeon attributes the disease to the unhealthy state of the atmosphere and to tiio 
locality—a common sewer being In the Immediate vicinity. The captain of the 
ship ascribes It to the rotten condition of too hulk, and to heat generated during 
the night by so many men being closely pocked together* a ward having from 
ten fo tweuty-four men sleeping in it, according to its fibre* The last 
two cases were of athletic young men, and lasted four days, Tho 
former patient was pulseless from the first, and comatose during fear 
hours previous to dcati—the latter was sensible to the last. They 
were carefully attended to, and visited every hour, night and day * 
and were treated with mercury* mustard poultices, rilraulauta* and all the usual 
remedies. The whole of the convicts were removed on tha 20tli Inst, from the 
Jiutitia* and put on board the Ifnbc and Sulphur receiving vessels, opposite the 
ltoyal Dockyard; which arrangement* I find, has created soma alarm In tho 
yard. Scarlatina is still very prevalent," 

The Iph\g*?iut, formerly the Murine Society ship* wax towed up from Wool¬ 
wich to Deptford on Monday, and moored at her former station, to be appropri¬ 
ated exclusively as an hospital ship for cholera coses* The reserve was 

towed from her moorings oppoeltc tire w'eat end of Woolwich Dockyard, and in 
now atatluned alongside the tfmfo', for the purpose of having the cholera coses 
which may subsequently occur kept separate from the other paiicata*

of too present epidemic of Asiatic cholera, have canned two additional wardu, 
coutalnleg 100 beds, to ba opened for the reception of cholera patients.

THE GREAT SEA-SERPENT. 

u fltrinye f h Ingt ttraw up to look a l ui— 

Thu nuitort of th* Asp. ri -&»!?, “ 7%n Return of the Admiral’* 

A uxw attestation of the existence of tile Groat Sea Serpent hoa Just been placed 
upon official record; and has very naturally resuscitated th^interest attached to 
this much vexed question. Wo purpose., thereforo, to present to our reader® 
this testimony in the documentary form and order in which It originally ap¬ 
peared ; and it wJH next be shown that the fint report has already received some 
corroboration, and has called forth some unpublished evidence upon the subject. 

The first intelligence of this new evidence appeared In the ?¥nww of the I Oth 
l nut., in a communication from Plymouth, dated Oct. 7 t as follows t— 

“When the DtrcUtfui frigate, Captain M'QuIue, which arrived Here on the 4 th 
lost, was on her passage home from the East Indies, between the Cope of 
Good Hope and St. Helena, her captain:, and most of her officers irnd crow, at 
four o'clock one afternoon, saw & Sea-Serpent. The creature was twenty minutes 
in sight of the frigate, and passed under her quarter. Its head appeared lo he 
about four feet out of the water, and there was About sixty feet of its body hi a 
straight Line on. the surface. It la calculated that there must have been tinder 
water a length of thirty or forty feet more, by which it propelled Itself at the 
rate of fifteen miles an hour. The diameter of the exposed part of the body 
was about sixteen inches ; and when it extended its jaws, which were fall of 
large jagged teeth, they seemed sufficiently capacious to admit of a tall man

standing upright between them. Tho ship was sailing north at the rate of 
eight utiles an Hour. The lywdatu& left the Capo of Good Hope on the 30th of 
July, and reached St. Helena cn the 16th of August." 

Next the following very interesting report* by Captain WQptw, was forwarded 
to the Admiralty;— 

“ Eor M^flaty’s ship Iksdahu, Hamoase, Oct 11. 

" Sir,—In reply to your letter of thU day's date, requiring Information as to the 
truth of a statement published In the Timn newspaper, of a Sea-Seipeut of extra¬ 
ordinary dimensions having been seen from her Majesty's ship Jkedalm t under 
ay command, on her passage from the East Indies, I have the honour* to^acquaint 
you, for the information of ray Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, that at 
5 o’clock p.k., on the 6th of August last, in latitude 24° 44/ S., and longitude 
Q° 22 f E., the weather dark and cloudy, wind fresh from the N.W., with a long 
ocean swell from the S.W, P the ship on the port tank heading N.E. by N., some- 
thing very unusual was won by Mr, Sartarta, midshipman, rapidly approaching the 
ship from before the beam. Thucircumstance was Immediately reported by him 
to the officer of the watch. Lieutenant Edgar Drummond, with whom and Hr. 
William Barrett, the Master, I was at the time walking tho quarter-dock. The 
ship's company were at sapper, 

“ On our attention being called to the object, it was discovered to ba an enor¬ 
mous. Serpent,, with Head and shoulders kept about four feet constantly above 


the surface of tho>ea ; and as nearly as we could approximate by comparing 
with the length of what our main topsail - yard won Id show in the water, th ere was at 
the very least sixty feet of the animal b four cf eau, no portion of which was, to 
our perception, used in propelling it through the water, either by vertical or 
horizontal undulation. It passed rapidly, but so dose under our lee quarter 
that had It been a man of ray acquaintance I should hare easily recognised hi* 
featurcswiih the naked eye i and It did not, either in approaching the ship or 
idler it had passed our wnko, deviate in the slightest degree from its course to 
the S.W., wlilch It hu... v» at the pace of from 12 to 15 miles per hour, appa¬ 
rently on some determined purpose. 

u The diameter of the Serpent was about 16 or 16 inches behind the head, 
which was, without any doubt, tint of a make; and It was never, during the 20 
minutes that it continued In sight of our glasses, tmee below the surface of the 
water—Its colour a dark brown, with yellowish-white about the throat It had 
no ft us, but something like the mane of a horse, or rather a bunch of sea weed 
washed about Its back. It was seen by the quartermaster, the boatswain’s mate 
and the man at the wheel, in addition to myself and officers above mentioned- 
«I am having a drawing of the Serpent made from a sketch taken I rums*

pcanmce of the Sorpcnt, under the sitperrifliun of Captain M'QuhiE, mid with 
hU approval of the authenticity of their details as to position and form. 

The next communication la the Mowing letter, addressed, within the past 
ten days, to the Editor of the Globe r— 

"Mary Ann of Qlmgow* Glasgow, Oct. 19, 1848, 

** Sir,—I have Just reached this port, on a voyage from Malteto Lisbon; and my 
attention having boon called to a report relative to an animal aeon by the master 
and erew of her Majesty's ship DmMm , I taka the liberty of communicating tho 
following circumstance:— 

« When clearing out of the port of Lisbon, upon the 30th of September lash 
we spoke the American brig Daphne, of Boston, Mark Trelawny master ; she 
(signalled for us to heave to, which we did, ami standing dose rcund her counter* 
lay to while the mate hoarded ttt with the jolly-boat, end handed a packet of 
letters, to be despatched per first steamer for Boston on our arrival In England, 
The mate told me that when In let. 4° IV S., Ion, 10° 15'E., wind dead north, upon 
the 20th of September, a moat extraordinary animal had bean seen—from his 
description, It had the appearance of a liugh serpent or snake, with a dragon’s 


w Immediate!V upon Its being seen, one of the deck guns was brought to boar 
upon it, which, having been charged with spike-nails and whatever other pieces 
of iron could be got at the moment, was discharged at the animal, then only 
distant about forty vsrdji from the ship- It iremediately reared Its head In the 
air, and plunged violently with Us body, showing evidently that the charge bad 
taken effect. Tlie Daphne was to leeward at the time, but wea put about on the 
starboard tack; and stood towards tho brute, which was soon foaming and lash¬ 
ing the water at a fearful rale. Upon the brig nearing, however. It disappeared, 
and, though evidently wounded, made rapidly off at tho rate of fifteen or sixteen 
knots an hear, os was judged from its appearing several rimes upon tho surface. 
The Daphne pursued for some timo \ but the eight coming on, the master was 
obliged to put about and continue his voyage. 

« y TO m the description given by the mate, the brute must have been neatly 100 
feet long, and hts account of It agrees In every respect with that lately forwarded 
to tho A dmiralty by the master of the Dadaiw. The packet of letters to Boston 
I have no doubt contains the full particulars, which I suppose will be made 

PU "There are letters from Captain Trolawny te a friend in Liverpool, which 
will probably contain some further particulars, and I have written to get a copy, 
for the purpose of getting the full account. 

»I have the honour to bs, Sir, your most obedient servant, 
"BreomleUw, Berth No. 4. 111 "Jama HiNDEkaow, Moater.

scientific officers and ablest naval surveyors:—

The description recalls to my mind an extraordinary appearance wo wit¬ 
nessed In the Blossom, in crossing the South Atlantic. I took it Cor the trunk 


of a largo tree, and before I could gat my glass upon deck it had disappeared* 
mid I could nowhere find It—fre*li breezes at the time.” 

By the conrtesy of the Secretary to the Admiralty, we have been flavoured 
with the following letter from a gentleman long resident in Norway 

“13, Great Onmberland-streat, October SS, 1348. 
“Mv peau Six,—I regret that I have not yet found the volumes referred to 
in our conversation respecting the recent authentication of the existence of Dm 
Sea-Serpent by Captain M-Quhsa, of ELM. frigate D<edalxu+ but I will give you 
that part of the Information which I remember best. Several years ago, a mu¬ 
seum was established at Bergen in Norway, the directors of which have, amongst 
other subjects of Interest, turned their study to natural history In general, 
and te tho elucidation of some of lte more doubtful or less known subdivisions.* 
The question of the Sea-Serpent's existence had previously attracted tho 
attention of several ueloutifle men In Northern Europe; and my friend, 
the late Dr* Nowrounn, Bbfliop of Bergen—a man much and Justly re¬ 
spected for hte learning, research, and energy-made It the subject of 
enquiry within the last twenty or twenty-five years among his clergy 
and those of the adjoining dioceses* The amount of proof thus collected 
was sufficient to convince any one, however sceptical, as it la not mere hearsay 
evidence, but tho testimony of known and respectable persons In various walks 
of Hto, Quo of tho most striking statements la made by some fishermen, who 
saw the animal quite close to them, and of whom, one more hardy than, the rest 
struck It with a boat-hook, upon which It Immediately gave them chase ; and, 
had they not been very near a small island or reck, on which they took reftige* 
la all probability they would have been destroyed, t 
"The size of the Sea-Serpents aeon In the Norwegian Pjords varies much; 
and i do not now rememhor what the dimensions of the largest arc said to be. 
As for os I can tax my memory, none of them lately seen are larger than that 
described by Captain M*Qhiuo. The one seen by the fishermen above alluded 
to was, I think, not above TO feet long. I have written to my collsagacs to the 
direction of tho Bergen Museum; and aa soon as their answer arrives,! will give 
you a more frill account. , „ „ 

■■ There are, J believe, several varieties of tho reptile known os tho Sea-Serpent, 
but almost all the accounts agree as to the existence of a wiotte, and ox to the great 
size of the eye. In several of the fossil reptiles somewhat approaching the Sea-Ser¬ 
pent in aixe and othor characteristics the orbit is very large, and in this respect, 
hs well aa in having short paws or flappers, the descriptions of tho Northern Sea- 
Serpen fca agree with the supposed appearance of some of the antediluvian species. 
A great part of the disbelief In the existence of the SeflrScrpcnt has arisen from 
its being supposed to be the same onknai os the Kraken, or rather from the names 
having been used indiscriminately. 

" in concluding this hurried statement, allow mo to add my own testimony os to 
the existence of a largo fish or reptile of cylindrical form (1 will not flay Sea-Serpent).

uaw {at about a quarter of a mile astern) What appeared to be a large AnIi ruf¬ 
fing the otherwise smooth surface of the Fjord, anil, on looking attentively, I 
observed what Looked like the convolutions nf n *mnko. 7 iat mediately got my 
gloss* and distinctly mode out three con volutions, which drew tins nos eke* slowly

to be about thirty feet. The master of my yucht (who* its navigator* seaman 
<md fisherman, hud known the Norwegian coast end North Sou for many years), 
as well us & friend who was with mc T tin experience A Norwegian sportsman and 
porpobic shooter, saw the samo nppearmtec at the «am time* and formed the 
same opinion as to form and, riro. I mention the fact of my friend being a por* 
poise shooter* an many have believed that a shoal of porpoises following each 
other has given rise to the fable, as they called It, of thu Sea-Serpent, 

“ I remain, my dear sir, fail h fully yonre, 

“J.D. Mo urn r a Stjilltno 

" Captain Hamilton, R.N.* Secretary to the Admiralty-" 

EVIDENCES OF THE FORMER ATPEARANCE OF THE 
SEA-SERPENT. 

Tint Sea-Serpent Is referred to in the 11 NatniaJM’ift Library," conducted by 
Sir William .Tardm*, Bart., F.R.S.E,, F.L.S** &e„ as one of a group of wo men* 
*Urt, In these words :— 

4 ' The term was by the undents ukk! In a under sense than at present 
being in ado to Include, airing with fete whales* those an Em tils which they re¬ 
garded as tnotukrs, iVo ham but very obscure intimation of what these 
monstcra really w ere ; they were not trfie or common fish* but were reputed to 
be prodigious animals, whose form and nature worn Imperfectly understood,, 
and which were particularly tite object of vulgar snpontllions dread. Now, it 
so happens, that, even at the praw n* dav, it Is mwortod that snch monsters csifit, 
whose characters all the ftwfdulty of naturalist has not hitherto satisfactorily 
ascertained. The most remarkable of these creatures are the Sea-Serpent and 
fixe Kntken/’ 

Thus far the introduction by the editor, I*r. Robert Hamilton. We now pro¬ 
ceed to quote the Instances recorded under the group previously introduced 
“That much fable and exaggeration,*’ says the author, “trace been mixed 
up with the history of the great Sea-Serpent, cannot be doubted; atill, however* 
tho Inquiry recurs, what portion of truth Is involved amidst this error r h 

First Is described an animal apparently belonging to this class, which wna 
stranded on rite tote of Strongly, one of the Orkneys, in ISOS. It was first soon en¬ 
tire, and measured by reputable individuals j and its remains are preserved in the 
Museum of the University of Edinburgb, and in tho Museum of the Royal College Of 
Surgeons, It measured M5 feet in length and 12 in circumference. The bead was 
small* not being a foot lu length, from the snout to the first vertebra; the peek 
was slender, extending 1& feet. All accounts assign it blow-holes. On the 
shoulders sometnlng like a bristly mane commenced, which extended to near the 
extremity of tho tail. It had three pair of Bub, or paws, connected with the 
body. Dr. Fleming suggests that these members were, probably* the remains 
of pectoral, ventral, and caudal fins. The skin was sin noth, without Bcale», and 
of a greyish colour, llie eye was of the atee of the «Wl'i * the threat was too 
narrow to admit the hand. 

Next is an " unvarnished account* of a great animal which excited considera¬ 
ble uttinMhmcut anil alarm among the Western Isles of Scotland' Hr, Maclean, 
the pariah minister of Elgg, saw the animal in June, l*K)8, on the Coast Of Coll* 
within a fow yards of fixe boat he was In. Its head we* somewhat bread* and of 
rather oval form j Its neck somewhat smaller { its Ahoaldom (bo to speak) consk 
(tenthly broader; and thence It tapered towards tho tall. The obsorvijr did not 
perceive any fins, and it seemed to progress by undulation up and down* under 
water, very rapidly. Its length was believed to be bohrfwn seventy and eighty 
feet. This animal was likewise awn by the crews of thirteen flahtog-toate i and 
one of a crew pronounced the head os large as a Ilttto bout, and its eye as largo 
a* a plate, (Bee 44 Tran&actkma of I h e Wernerian Society, 1 * vol, I.* p. 4*g.) This 
animal docs not appear to have been strictly serpentlform. 

Dr. LTIbbort mentions that the great Sea-Serpent bis occasionally been recog¬ 
nised In the Shetland Seas* and specific* ono which was scon off the Isle 5ton- 
itesa, Yaley Island, and I>LVjivoajsm±^. (** Shetland Island5*" p, 5G3.) 

Wo pass over Dr. Hamilton's details of the American Sea-Serpent, os we have 
given tho description from other sources in an adjoining column. 

Long before the great ScsnSerpcut was suspected of being a visitor of the Brf- 
llah Jules, or Of the New World* It was regarded ns a well-known member of 
the Fauna of Scant]inavin. Thun, Hail* (afterwards lUahop) Egeda* In 41 A 
Full and Particular Relation (Nomittfa> of Ids Voyage to Greenland, as a Mte- 
gloTiniy, in the year 17JJ4/’ published in Danish, at Copenhagen. 1740, records;— 
41 On 'the €th of July* 1734, when off the south eaeutt of Greenland, a sea 
monster appeared to us, whose bead, when ml&eif, was on a level with our 
main-top. Its anont wu* long and sharp, ami it blew water almost like a whale; 
it hart large broad pawn (the Danish word is 44 Mto*,” which signifies something 
between paws and (Ins? a seal’s Happen# stt* rolled 14 lotfon"); Us body 
vnut covered with «h ell-fife* or scales (Liac Danbb word used here signifies 
cither); Us skin whs rough and uneven; in other respects It was os a serpent; 
and when It dived* its (ail, which van raised In the air, appeared to be a whole 
ship's length from its body." 

Wo have eugraved the repru&entation by Egcde, from the copy of b!a work 
lu tho British Museum. 

We nest subjoin the aocounfeiH—older and more recent— given of tills imiinal 
n wJiut may bo colled Us native retreats. We begin with rgntoppidau, in his 
*' History of Norway: ,T — 14 Oar coast** Bayu the learned Bishop, “Its the only 
place In Europe rislted by this terrible creature," lie then profoascs Ids own 
ncredullty of tho narrative* until he was assured by the testimony of credible 
and experienced fijlienneu and sailors, of whom hundred! see tho creature an¬ 
nually 

Dr. Hamilton then says r— 

14 After this* a long letter to supplied from Captain L. de Ferry, who was in hto 
boat, with a crew of eight men, when they ft&w a Sea Serpent, which ha fired at 
and wounded. HU description very rnuc»‘ aj^reex with tbat ulrciuiy clveti* and 
every particular is authenticated by the affidavits of two of Ms crew. We are also 
informed that Governor Bcrestrap states, that heaaw a similar animal a few 
year* before, and drew a sketch of It. Mr. Hans Strern* a clergyman, also caused 
a sketch to be made of one which coma under his inspection, anti other eye-wit- 
nesses are named. The Bishop concludes* * 1 might mention, to the same purpose, 
many more persons of equal credit and reputation,* But wc must bring these 
ritiuetnents of Pontoppidan to a clow wlih one other short quotation, ‘Though 
ft to difficult to ascertain tho exact dinmniiltms, yet all who have seen It are uns- 
BimniLi in affirming that it appears to be about GOO feet long ; that it lias in the 
w'ater in many folds, and there appears like so many hogsheads Boating in & line, 
at a considerable distance from each other.' " 

in the LMerqry Gazette for Saturday last* will be found engraved Tontbppl- 
danto reiiresentatlon; with tho uocompanying deductions, by the Editor, ap¬ 
pended to copious extracts from tho learned Bishop's w ork 

“ We lirve qow only U> point to the very reimukahlo resoiublsnco between 
Captain M'QnhiE and Poatopiddan's description. Cne might fancy the gallant 
captain had read the Old Dane, and wax copying him* when be telto Of the dark 
brown colour and white about the throat, and tlie neck clothed as if by ei horse's 
itiane or a hunett of tea-weed—the exact- words of trie historian - Thla snake, 
however* did not seem to core for the fresh wind and roughteh weather* but 
kept* as in the calm* Ua head, jievend feet above the water, and stretched out its 
length ao os to he visible for some sixty or eighty feet. Tire motion was not 
perceptibly impelled by vermicular or land-wiiiamt action I Had ft, then, large 
fins? There mu si bis somo powier. The picture engraved in I he folio repre. 
senia ft like a series of six barrels, or risings, with the Intermediate parts

We now return to the instances cited by Dr. Hamilton :—

THE GREAT AMERICAN SEA-SERPENT* 

The SeO’Scrpcnt, seen by Captain M'Qultm on too 6th of August* eecma to con¬ 
firm the account* of a similar animal seen at different periods off tlm north- 
eastern coast of the United States* between Capo Cud and Penobscot Bay. 

to consequence of too roporto of a great Sea-Scipeut having been frequently 
seen during the month of August* la 17, both In tho harbour of Gloucester, Mm- 
sachussetts, and at 0 short distance out at sea, off the Mime coast, tho Linn wan 
Society of Boston appointed a Committee to Collect evidence with rcgartl to the 
existence and appearance of auch animal; and, from their report, by Amos 
Storv. wc gather the following parttelihira. 

It wan fleen on tho 10th of Augnet* 1817, In tho harbour of Gloucester, at a 
distance of about 136 yards. The head* which was about a foot above the water, 
appeared much like toe heud of a sea-1 turtle, and the colour of the body was a 
dork brown. The animal wua then moving rapidly through too water, at the 
rate of from 20 to 30 mitea an hour. It wns seen a aecoud rime by the same 
person* on the SSrduf August; it was thun lying perfectly still, and the de¬ 
ponent judged that the portion which ho saw was at least 50 feet long The 
body appeared to be shout as thick as that of a man. Solomon Alien, 
ship-master* also saw the animal In ihe harbour efGlaticester* on the 12th, 13th, 
and nth of August, and csfimufed it to be between 80 and 80 feet In length, 
and the body to be about the thickness of a half-barrel. The head was something 
like a rittfitoDakafr* but was nearly as largo ut the head of a home* and was 
sometimes carried about two feet above the water. It appeared to have bundles 
or pratuberance!i on the fe&ck. Hr. Nash, however, who took tots depositions* 
and bad also seen the animal* consider that those apparent hunches wore 
merely caused fey too onimal'a vertical motion. Matthew Gaffney saw B at a 
distance of about 30 feet* and/rtri at?It- *' 1 aimed at Ids head," says the de¬ 
ponent* 4 ‘ and think 1 must have hit him. He turned towards us Inrnie- 
dtately after I had fired, and 1 thought he was coming at m ; but he sank down 
and went directly under our boat, and made hls appearance at about 100 yards 
from where lie sunk. He did net turn down like a fish, but appeared to nettle 
down like a reek. Ho did not* however* appear more shy after being fired at, 
but continued playing as before," ,Tolm Johnson, who saw it on the 17th Of Au¬ 
gust, within two oars T length,Judged It to be at least 50 feet long, W. B. Fiear- 
eon* merchant* when In a sailing-boat, on the 18th of August, off Webber's tom:* 
saw a strange marine animal, which ho believed to be too same that had been 
aeon several times to the Imrfeour of Gloucester. It passed under the atom of 
the boat, and aftenrards (turning) crossed the bow at about 30 yards 4 dlstoncc- 
Frem what ho saw of toe animat, ha should say that It was nothing short of 70 
feet In length. It turned very short, find appeared as limber und us active as an 
eel* considering its comparative! tore, Itobert Bragg* mariner* saw too animal 
fl ora tho deck of tho schooder/uum, about a mile and a half from Capo Ann. 
It passed very swiftly by the vessel, at a distance of about 30 feet; and about H 
feet of the body was above tho level of the water to the height of &lx tuctiea. 
The hemi wa# like fi serpent's, rather blunt, and larger than the body. When 
about 30 feet astern of the vessel It throw out its tongue, w hich appeared to be 
about two feet long, ami something like a fisheripuu^ harpoon. Tho Serpent 
was Insight about ton minutes, and seemodto move at the rate uf about four¬ 
teen miles an hour. 

Besides tho depositions of eleven persons who had seen the animal In August, 
IB 17, the Committee received several communications relative to a similar ani¬ 
mal which had prevloualy boon aeon On the coast of Maine, soveraE yours before. 
The Bov, Abraham Cummings says that, fn Fcnobscot Buy* within the thirty 
year a preceding 1808* a Sea-Serpent* supposed to be about 60 feet long, and u& 
ihlck as a sloop's moat, had been several times aeon, Mr. Cummings saw It 
himself, at a distance of about 80 yards* and Judged It to be afeont 70 feet long. 
It was jdM seen by the British In tlicfr expedition to Bogudnse during the first 
American war, and they supposed ft to be at least 360 feet long { but this Mr, 
Cummings considers to be an exaggeration. It waa again Been In ISfOO and 1811. 
The Committee were also Informed that, about 1T8Q, u ft schooner -w 11B lying at 
the mouth of the river Penobscot, or in toe bay* one of these enormous creatures 
leaped over It between tlte masts 3 that the men. ran into the hold fer fright, and 
that the weight of the serpent sank toe vessel one or plank. The schooner 
was about eighteen tona bartlien. 

About a month after the Committee had received tho depositions previously 
refereed to, U serpent, of remarkable appearance, was sent to Boston, and ex¬ 
hibited fro the Lin 11 a-,ra Society of that town, who named ft Scoliophit Atlmitirue, 
and considered It to be the yoatig of the great Sea-Serpent. It was killed on 
toe aea-slioro, at no great distance from Cape Ann, The annexed cut Js from 
an Engraving of it, In a pamphlet routing to tho Sea-Serpent published by tho 
Society. The body Is bent vertically, to show I to Bexibility In that direction,

A FOtfttU SeA-Sm'rsiT,—In 1845 there was eariilblted In New York & aj^ci- 
men of the HydrarijOi Stflimaniu a reputed gigantic fawitl reptile* nr Sen-Ser- 
jjcdt, atutod to have been discovered by Dr. Albert €. Koch In the atato of Ala* 
feama. Ttie bones, according to the description, measured \ Mfeotl n length, and 
weighed 7500 potmcle E Wc do not vouch for the uuthentidtj of this discovery; but 
Professor SillInaan publicly attested that the spinal coltiinnoftheskeleton jincs,- 
sn red Hi feet in length, and evidently belonged to one tndfviduut t adding, tiief 
there was the fullest ground for Its genuineness- Professor Stillman remarks, 
that “ the skeleton differs, mast ^aentiirily, from any existing or fossil rerpem, 
although it may countenance the popular (and I believe, wdhfounded) Impres¬ 
sion mf too exfeteneb in our modern seas of huge animals, to which the name of 
Son-Serpent had been u[studied."

dready played in London, both as an amateur umi lu public; since then Ire has 
been, wo behove, In tire country, and his style of acting has greatly improved. 

The piece written tor hi* Introduction on Wednesday was called 44 My Father

affair ; but lb answered its purpose, with which qualification we may dia- 
jDiss it Mr. Reeve waa most enthusiastically received. Independently 
of the number of friends lu the house, very many who recollected Ills 
fiLthor gave him a hearty welcome ore tlie score of old associations; and the are- 
pin UNO was cent timed throughout the piece. Possessing greet humour, wc do 
not* however, tliink feat ha will take a very high pooUltm ju&t yet aa a comic

THE STATE TRIALS AT CLONMEL, 

On Thursday BOWgbti the case fnr the Crown ha^ng been conclndod, Mr, 
Whiteside comraeticed his BtiatfcJ to the Jury for the defence, directing Uielr 
attention to the speeches anti written evidence given against tito prisoner* to 
show that they proved no Intent supporting the charge of 1 levying war against 

th FMiDXT.“Mr, Whiteside resumed bis address for the defence. After a brief 
recapitulation of what ho had advanced on the previous day, bo entered late a 
minute analysis of the evidence and character of the wltnesa Dikhhyn. Ho first 
pointed out tho discrepancies in Ufa evidence, and then the additions made to it 
since his former examination, which alone would expose him to suspicion. lie 
denounced his whole story* and condemned the officer of tho Crown for not at¬ 
tempting to sustain It by any corroboration. The roCanA were within their 
power ? even witnesses imd been placed upon tho table who could have corrobo¬ 
rated portions oi Ida story bad it been true, and yet the Attorney-General lied 
not dared to examine them on those points. Dobbyii’a history, as extracted on 
cross-examination, was next handled with great effect* and Mr, Whhealde 
deoed this part of the case by asserting that on Dobbyn s evidence the whole 
eaae Mn ged* and no twelve men in their senses con Id place tho slightest coufl- 
dcuco in his testimony. The speeches* as reported by the police, were naxteom- 
monted upon, anil the speaker condemned in strong language tho employment 
of Illiterate men In such duties w are likely to impair their efficiency, and bring 
them into great contempt. Ho went rapidly through tho remaining evidence, 
concluding as follows:—“Before you bring down upon yourselves the horror 
of shedding the blood of a fclkw-cfeatero. bo certain to demonstration that ho 
Is guilty, 1 demand an acquittal because tbe com Is not proved—bacatue justice 
requires it. Give your verdict to conformity with the law, and posterity will re, 
member and bless you and your verdict, and say that, empanelled hi a ported of 
strong excitement to a case affecting human life, you gave that verdict between 
the prisoner and tho Crown with fnirncas-tbo happiest duty you could par- 
form. Words form the case against my client, and a verdict of ucquittal will 
Strike down the uncoimtitnUonal doctrine of constructive treason and vindicate 

^Mr^Vhltoside was Quite exhausted at the dose of his address* which ended at 
about half-post ouu* and on Uiia occasion even surpassed his effort on behalf of 

° The ciidWKW for the defence was then called. The first witness deposed to 
being a member of the Red Hand Club* and being acquainted with Dobbyn* 
He a member before Dobbyn* and swore that neither Dobbyn nor anyone 
else had ever been appointed a delegate from the dub, under any circumstance^ 
and none of the dub bad ever boon armed. 

Mr, Kirwan, the solicitor for Mr. Meagher, then deposed that he had examined 
the balloting papers for the Council of War, and though Dobbyn had slated tiiat 
Mr, D, Reilly and Mr. Lalor had an equality of votes, the numbers, according 
te the papers, were—for Mr. ReUJy 16, and for Mr. Lalor 10* and this on the 
first ballot. 

Similar evidence to that in the case of 0’ Donohue was then given, aha wing 
that Mr. Meagher, on the day of the attack at Widow Conoick s, was some mites 
distant, and conld not liave been them. w 

After a short adteummfint, Mr. Butt followed on the same side as Mr, White- 
side* ou whose speech lie passed a high euloglum. Ho necessarily poised over 
the same ground ns on this and previous trials. His speech was vary able and 
urgumontattvc, and had not concluded at half-past seven, when be prayed the 
Indulgence of an adjournment, which the Court refused, till Mr. Meagher asked 
them to do ao m m no t of justice to Ms counsel, 

Eathiuay.—M r, Butt resumed hla address i undent its conclusion, 

Tho Lord Chief Justice (Biftckburmi) Informed Mr, Meagher, that If he wished 
to say any thine, that was the time, 

Mr, Meagher replied: No, my Lord; I will my nothing, I liflve committed 
my cose to counsel whore abilities and genius I iun tatfaffod with, and who have 
said all 1 could wish* „

Mosday,— Tbe proceeding of tills protracted Commission terminated to-day 
with the sentence on tho three prisoners—Messrs, 51 "Manus, O'Donohue* and 
Meagher. A t the open mg of tho Court, eight of the peasants who wore taken in 
arms were arraigned at the bar, and severally pleaded Not Guilty. They were 
than directed to withdraw, and, on the motion of Hie Solicitor-General, the three 
convicts were brought to the bar, and were severally asked wluit they bed to 
say why son ten cu should not be passed upon them. All three addressed tho 
Court In reply* In speeches highly characteristic* M'Manjw spnks In the tone of 
a man who felt that he had played for a high stake and tost It, and that It was 
beneath him to complain of the forfeit being exacted. Toward* the close of his 
observation's bo said—" And now, my Lords, In this, Which may bo the Attest 
time fur mo to put this sentiment on record, X say, thef* smutting in this dock, 
And About to ascend the scaffold, it may be to-morrow—it mny bo now-it may 
be never—whatever the result may be, I wish to put this on record, that in no 
part of my conduct* in no part of the proceedings I have taken, have T been ac¬ 
tuated by feelings tof animosity towards Englblmen* for among theiu I have 
imont aomo of the happiest days of my life, end of the most prosperous; uni Jn 
no part Which I hare taken was 1 actuated by enmity towards Englishmen Indi¬ 
vidually, whatever I may have felt of the Injustice of English rule In this Inland. 
Therefore, I have only to say* it Is not for having toyed England less, text for 
having loved Ireland more, that I now stand before you**' (Murmurs of applause 

observation* there was nothing to cat] for notice: lie merely 
evinced the spirit of tho “ lawyers dork," In adverting to poi nts of law w hich 
hia counsel had already fully dwelt upon. 

Hj. Meagher* on being called on to say why sentence of death Should not bo 
passed upon him, spoke as follows:—" My Lords, It Is my intention to ray a few 
words only. I dcalro that the last act of a proceeding which has occupied so 
much of the public time should b& of short duration; nor havg I the indelicate 
Wish to close the dreary ceremony Of a state prosecution with a vain display of 
words. Did 1 fear that, hereafter, when I ahull bo nn more, the country r have 
tried to servo would think ill of me, I might Indeed avail my&df of this solemn 
moment to vindicate my sentiments and my conduct; but I h&ve no such fear. 
Tho country will Judge of those sentiment* rani that conduct in a light for differ¬ 
ent from that in which the Jury by which I have boon tried and convicted have 
received thorn; and by the country, the sentence which you, my Lords* ora about 
to pronounce wiU bo remembered only *$ the severe andsolemu attestation of my 
rectitude and tenth. Whatever bo the language in which my sen fence be spoken, I 
know that my fate will meet with sympathy and that my memory will be honoured. 
In speaking rW, accuse nicnot, my Lords, of an Indecorous presumption. To the 
efforts I have made in tho just raid noble cause I ascribe no vain Importance, 
uor do I claim for those effurfe any high reward; but It so happens, and It will 
ever happen ao, that they who have triad to serve their country, no matter bow 
weak tboir efforts may have been, are ante to receive the thank* and blessings 
of Its people. With my countrymen i leave my memory, my iw;ntfriienfa, my 
acta-proudly feeTing that they require no vindication from me this day. A 
torv of my countrymeii, it le tree, Imre found mo guilty of the crime of which I 
stood Indicted. For thfe I bear not the slightest animosity or resentment 
toward* them : Influenced aft they must have inteu by the charge of the Lord 
Chief Jnstice* jwrhapst hey could have found no other verdict* But, what of 
this charge ? Any strong ob^rvatlons upon it, I fool sincerely, wpulff 
ill beflt V solomnliv of this scene; but I would earnestly be¬ 
seech of you, my Lord—you who preside on that bench—when the

yea will append te your own conscience, and usk: if it were a charge, as it ought 
to have bean, Irapartfal and ludlffcrent boriveen the sut^oct nnd the Crown. 
Mv Lords* you may deem this language unbecoming to me, and perhaps It may 
seal nty fate. Bat I am here to speak the truth, whatever it may cost. I am 
here to regret nothing I have ever done—to retinct nothing I have ever spoken; 

1 am here to crave with no lying lips theUfo I cousecrate to the liberty of my

For tint country, 1 mn do no more than bid her hope. To HR up thta teto, to

THE KEW FOEEST, 

(Concluded from. Page 24S.J 

BrFOBt? wq return to the celebrated localities of the New Forest,, it may be as 
well to glance at its regulation, Thus, Its officers are a Lord Warden, lieutenant 
riding-forester (wo txdfeve* abolished)* bow-bearer, two rangers* wood-ward* 
under wood-word* four venterera, high-steward* under-steward, twelve re- 
garde ns ; nine foresters, or mister-keepers* being one to each bailiwick; and 
usually fifteen under-foresters, or groom-keepers, hut at times a smaller num¬ 
ber. Wo hare not space to enumerate tho duties of these officers; they relate 
chiefly to matters respecting •* vert and venison:” some of the salaries are 
little more than nominal, with foes or backs and docs. The Forest bos its 
horse, and ite herds of wild hogs, much more a canty than heretofore. There 
are many deer kept fn the Forest, the right of shooting which is now confined 
to the lord-,warden, and those appointed by him. 

The chief Taltie of the New Forest ia for the raising of oak and beech timber 
for the nse of tho Navy. An Act for the improvement and regulation of the 
Forest was passed in 1800. the enactments of which not only effected tho cor¬ 
rection of various minor abtUfts committed within Its limits, bet ware calculated 
to make it a permanent benefit to the country, by furnishing an abundant, end 
not* a$ form orly, a scanty supply of timber for our navy . From the investigation 
tiowlq progress, the duties of the aastotaut-depiity-surveyor, for this purpose, 
are very numerous. He lias to assist the deputy-surveyor in the, management 


of everything relating to me Forest ; to superintend tho setting oat, fuMing, 
stripping, lopping, and bringing to sale nbonMOOfto&k trees annually; to super- 
Intend tho setting out, felling* measuring, and assigning about -lOil loads 
of fact-wood annually In beech and fir poles* half beech and half fir; urraugliig* 
making out, and delivering fuel tickets to each of the claimants* according to tho 
tael-wood list; to superin tend the sales, and grants, and exchanges of laud* en¬ 
franchisement of copyholds, and all variations of timber, land, and so forth; to at¬ 
tend the courts and magistrates'meetings; to superintend the thinning* clearing* 
planting, hoto-diggltig, draining, nursery work, and roads enclosed for the growth 
of tim ber, 6000 acres or thereabouts; to superintend the carpenters' work, and all 
necessary repairs to be douo at the keepers* lodges* bridges* causeways* &c. ; 
end to manage all official correspondence, payments of salaries and 
general payments in the forest. Yet the abuses in the several offices 
are stated to have been vary great. Mr, Fletcher, a timber-merchant of 
Mill brook* Southampton, states it as a fact within his own knowledge, that 
some of the regarded have s^Id timber by private contract to certain 
timber-mere hunts In the absence Of the uasaHtant-tfeputy-survayor* whoso 
duty It was to bo present on all occasions of sale, public or private* and he 
further affirms that some Of the timber so disposed of was sold tor one shilling 
per foot, instead of two shillings, which it would bring at a public wla—Lnshort, 
that timber which was worth about £2oo was sold for £120 or £ lad to these 
timber-merchants. This timber, which is generally the best In the forest* goes 
to tho ship-building porta In the north of England—Sunderland* Newcastle, 
Aberdeen, Shields, and Arbroath, And so steady has been the supply, and so 
abundant also, ti would appear withal, that tha builders In these porta have pub¬ 
licly advertised that only veweifl constructed of south of England timber will 
bo classed A 1 at Lloyd 


Sir W. Symonds, the lato Surveyor of the Navy* has, however, thrown light 
upon the idlsmanagoinflut of the timber. « f thought it very extraordinary," 
«id Sir William, u holding the situation 1 did, that from such a vast tract 
of land 05 the Crown land, the King's forests or Queen's forests* wo should 
not have got a chip, I may say* of timber oat of teem. In 1883, at the time 
I became Surveyor of the Navy, we wens very short of a particular kind of 
timber* which the Now Forest produces in great abundance—1 mean small 
Umber." But the sum and substance of his evidence la to tho effect that tho 
dockyards could not get any of it* except at a higher price than was paid to 
contractors for the some. In fiact, according to Sir W, Symonds* the timber 
that came from the Appenlncs, from Tuscany, and from the Roman States* 
waa procurable so much cheaper, that It appeared to him to be inexpedient 
to purchase at the Royal forests; tho cost per ton being In the one caw 
£& 6s,, in the other, £8 12s. 7d—the quality of both being precisely the 
aamo. And yet tha Now Forest Is within a few miles of the dockyard at 
Portsmouth. 

Ths best and most trustworthy evidence that can be procured gives a net value 
in fee for the New Forest equlval ant to more than a million and a half (£ 1,583,760), 
that is to say. estimating and deducting all known rights of commonage, &c,; 
and yet to what purpose the forest is turned, except to toed a few deer, no one, 
except perhaps the officers of the same* fully knows. For Sir William Sy- 
mtmds has shown that it Is useless m regards the Navy. Mr, Milne, one of the 
Commisslonera of Woods and Forests* states that tho Lord Wa rden’s establi sh - 
moot costa £2000 a year; tho vordorers" establishment £151 12s, fid., ex¬ 
clusive of the bucks to which they one entitled, ex wttk offisH; the Woods and 
Forest* establishment to £16*7* In all nearly £4000 a year* axdttatve of the 
bucks and does* to which all three are, to a greater or letter extent, entitled by 
custom or hy tight * whilo there Is note portide of evidence to prove that the Forest 
Is Of any general utility or public value in Its present condition, but very much 
tho contrary, as the means of promoting Idleness, profligacy* poaching, and pau¬ 
perism among the poor living on Us outskirts. 

It to now time to turn to tho localities we have this week Illustrated- First* 
to one closely associated with tho early htotory of the Forest, 

STONY CROSS, 

The place of William Rufus's death. Thera has been much controversy on tho 
debilto of this catastrophe; but the following conclusions given In the « Pictorial 
Htotory of England" appear to be Jim: M that tho King waa shot by an arrow 
In the Now Forest, that hto body wets abandoned and then li Off Lily Interred* ore 
facto perfectly well authenticated ; but same doubt* may be entertained as to the 
precise drcuntfltuncefl attending his death* notwithstanding their being minutely 
related by writers who were tiring at the time, or who flourished in the 
course of the following century, Sir Walter Tyrrel afterwards swore* in France, 
that he did not shoot the arrow ; but he woe, probably, anxious to relievo hlmaclf 
from the odium of killing a King, eveu by accident, it to Quite possible, Indeed* 
that the event did not uriae from chance, and that Tyirel hud no part In It* Tho 
remorseless ambition Of Henry might have bed recourse to murder, or the 
avenging shaft might have been sped by tho desperate band of some Englishman* 
tempted by a favourable opportunity and the traditions of tire place. But the 
moat charitable construction to, that the party were intoxicated with the wine 
they had drunk at Malwood-Keep* and that, In the cunfualtm consequent on 
drunkenness, the King was hit by a random arrow," 

In that part of the Forest near Stony Crass* at a abort dtotaucG tom Castln 
Mulwood, formerly stood on oak which tradition affirmed woe the tree against 
Which tho arrow glanced that caused fcbe death of Rufus. In LetomTa time 
there waa a chapel steading near the spot; " most probably (says Howfti) built 
by aoriift of King William’* descendants* to pray for hto soul; It being the gene¬ 
ral opinion of the lime, that too divine judgment for his cruelties la the Forest 
had fallen Upon him hero more expressly, because ha had actually destroyed a 
church. No trace of such a thing is now visible* and, indeed, it Is one of tho 
singularities or this spot* that so little of tho destroyed villager, churches, fcc. to 
to be discovered." 

Charles II. directed the tree to be endroied by a paling; It lira disappeared, 
but tho spot whereon tho tree gTew to marked, by a triangular atone, about 5 feet

BRYNLLYS TOWER, IN SOUTH WAULS. 

BY JAMES LEWIS THOMAS, C*E. 

It is to bo feared that the absorbing interest created in all minds of late years by 
wclefiUsticAl architecture, has led to great neglect of the military remains of 
Croat Britain : which, although not mating such sacred appeals for preserva¬ 
tion, yet ought to be regarded by every lover of our ontEwml history as fur¬ 
nishing significant record* of the advancement of society from rugged feudality 
to more civilised despotism, and thence to the time when the reign of law over¬ 
threw that of the strong hand. They arc, in fact, structures erected at different 
times, from the one motive- ambition j and plainly Illustrate the past periods 
or refined magnificence, nide power, and savage strength. 

The subject of the present Illustration Is a round isolated tower, called 
BrynUya Tower, which signifies “the eminence or brow near tha court or pa¬ 
lace/’ It Is situated on the hank* of the Llynfi* about eight miles from Brecon, 
and I* scan for many miles found rising in bold outline above the rich woods of 
Trclguntor, 

Mr. King, tho well-known antiquary, devoted a large portion of bis whuiMa 
work to an inquiry Into the origin of this tower, “which, If correct/’ Bays the 
learned historian of the county* " may have been an imitation of Mor tidal Qior 
@wQpi t the drat stone-mason after the deluge who settled in Britain.” Ho (Mr. 
King) thinks the construction Is singularly unlike anything Homan or Norman; 
aid therefore infers the architecture to be Syrian, corresponding with Char¬ 
din’s account of the subordinate kind of Median or Hingrelian ancient Eastern 
Castles. Ho proceeds at great length to prove this, by asserting that the Chief¬ 
tain of the Shuras, in whose country this Castle stood, was also Chieftain of the 
I/umnonli, In Cornwall, wbo first assumed the regal dignity on the departure 
of the Romans * and that, a* this keep or tower Is built of small 
hewn stones, bo Is of opinion that It must have been built by tho Cornish 
Britons, who acquired that peculiar art of construction from the Phoenicians- 
Hla neat argument In from the primitive style Of some of the arches, being 
formed of only two atones, and to acme instances merely a plain loop of an 
oblong form, and flat at the top; also from the circumstance of the large sloping 
base of the tower, which ho nays Is common to Syria, ond seen only In some 
other Instances la this totoud. By these arguments he endeavoum to prove 
that the structure was raised originally on tha Syrian or Phoenician plan, yet so 
Into as at a time when even the arch bad been invented and slightly seen, but 
when its true use wns not understood, about the interval between the time or 
the first Invasion of Britain by Julius Ctetar, and the subsequent one by Clau¬ 
dius, which Invasions, ha farther observes, neither molested nor affected the 
Britons in Cornwall or Woles, and of Which they could have only distant re¬ 
port*. 


BETNT1.TS TOWER 


Parsers legs! adviser submitted that hla client was entitled to the protection 
of tha Court, Inasmuch as ha had been the victim of one of thosa adroit and 
highly-educated swindlers w ith which thid metropolis unhappily abounded. As 
for the gentlemen who now opposed Mr. Fursey, the Commissioner knew them 
well enough, and would not therefore give much weight to their claims, which 
were certainly legal, but certainly not the result of fair dealing. They had 
made usurers 1 bargains, and deserved their loss. It was well known that thorc 
was a set of men ready to cash any bills, without regard to the means of the 
parties whose names wore attached to those bills. 

The Commissioner read Irtirsoy a most wholesome lecture on tha Imprudence 
of which he had been guilty. There ho was, a young man, stripped by his Im¬ 
prudence of all he possoased In tho wtarld, and, aa he (the Cointnl*5toner) un¬ 
derstood, deprived of his situation. What stared him in the face? At beat, a 
hard and passionate struggle to keep tho wolf from bis door; whereas, had ho 
listened to the dictates of prudence, and not been blinded hr the condescensions 
and representations of 11 nun who had been instrumental to sending more than 
one person to that court, be might have atilJ been In the enjoyment of his mo¬ 
dest but easy income, and hare remained a happy man. As it was, ho must 
begin tho world anew—no cheerful prospect to a man on whom a fatally de¬ 
pended for tholr subsistence. Hi* (Paracy’s) legal adviser bad thought proper 
to urge as a reason for the leniency of the Court towards him, that the individuals 
who had cashed his (Fnreey's) bills were reckless usurers. In his opinion, this 
did not in any way Influence tha culpability, or, rather, the utter imprudence Of 
his (Pursey's) conduct. Ho had put his name to a bill, knowing that ho had not 
wherewithal to pay it should it fall upon him. This constituted the Imprudence 
(he would not apply a harsher epithet) of which he had been guilty. Ho would

THE OPERA OF * MOLINE” AT THE PRINCESS 1 
THEATRE. 

Tee success of Flotow's work, as we anticipated in our last week’s notice, has 
been very great. Tho animated acting of U1» Hatter, M Lfatiwi the expressive 
singing of Mr. Charles Brahom, as the Omni ; and tho noble voice of Weiss, as 
Frtxnt, produce the finest result. 

Our artists have depicted one of the most striking dramatic situations to tho 
opera. It la In the trio. In which /’ranr—learning that UqHtw had been be¬ 
loved by tho Cowt. prior to the catastrophe) terminating the first act. when 
Zfotijie falls into the precipice and is killed—seizes a musket, and is on the point 
of shooting Ms rival; but at tho moment of firing, the spirit of Lioline appears, 
and intervenes to save the life of her lover. This trio Is, musically speaking, as 
remarkable for its Intensity as the action Is exciting. 


BILL, 


Having an opportunity (through the courtesy of the Bov, Mr, Morgan, Vicar 
of Talgarth, the present occupant of tho adjoining mansion. In whoso grounds 
tho Tower Li situated) of taking the above sketch, seeing the Interior, and 
ascending to the top, partly by means of ladders and partly by means of tho old 
stairs, which wind round the wall In some parts entire, I examined minutely 
every part. 

There appears in the sloping bass or artificial mount a forced entrance to the 
lower donjon, with a similar breach on tho opposite aide, apparently the res alt of 
great violence* merely made for the convenience of late years—a part which may 
have been originally a small loop-hole to admit light and Mr, tho entrance being 
by a well-hot a in the celling. Ttus opening discloses a singular feature in toe con¬ 
struction of tha work* via. two round passages, each about two feet In diameter, 
made in the thickness of the wall near the ground (at that part About 12 feet), and go¬ 
ing quite round the structure r their situation is shown in the engraving. Fur higher 
appears tho original door of entrance, to which there could have been no access 
except by a ateep flight of stops on the outside, probably a portable construct ion 
of wood. The whole height of the Tower Ja at present about S5 or 90 feet from 
the ground; but it was evidently much higher, as upon the top is an arched 
alcove or bewer, opening upon au extensive and delightful prospect of tho sur- 
rounding country, with a handsome fireplace broken off below the mantel* I 
noticed several arches termed of very thin stones, which partook of ell the 
different term* generally found In architectural remains of an early date: 
in some, the curve was nearly the aegment of a circle t and In others, tho early 
English pointed form. I therefore very much doubt whether Jt Is of the groat 
antiquity Mr. King supposes It to be. Hlatory is not SO entirely dark upon ihe 
subject as to leave its origin solely to the fertile imagtoatfnii of an antiquary. 
If It had been n British eon ■traction and to British possession. It would 
have followed tho fate of the ramiUndor of Breconshire upon the con- 
lucnt of that county by Bernard do Heutotarehe, A.o* lo&fi, and have been 
Allotted to one of bis knights ; but we find It In the possession of 
the Crown it that period, and won after granted to Richard Fitabona* It Is, then, 
in all probability, one of the first erections of William tho Conqueror, In his expe¬ 
dition into Wales to 1079; and afterwards made a Mp6t by William Rufus in hla 
unsuccessful attack upon the Welsh. Hla successor, although described by soma 
of tho old historians as the conqueror of Wales, seeing the difficulty of retaining 
his acquisitions in Breconshire, granted wliatever belonged to him In that county 
to tho Lord Marcher, of Clifford Castle; who* residing in the vicinity, 
and keeping the strongholds garrisoned, was enabled to preserve Brynlly* 
Castle In hu family* until hi* descendant, Maud* the widow of William 
Longespee, Earl of Salisbury, was compelled to fake ter her second 
husband, John Glffard, of BrimsfleLd, In Gloucestershire. It was this Giffard, 
residing thou at Brynllys, who was called, upon to assist Mortimer in the defeat 
of Llewelyn ap Griffith, near Bull tb. The Goalie to also mentioned by Ginaldus 
Cambren sis, as the place whore Mahel, tha Impious and abandoned son of Milo 
Flu waiter, and nephew of Bernard do Noufrnarche* was killed. It was likewise 
in the possession ofthe Bohuns, Lords of Brecon, and afterwards tha Stafford*; 
and In tho reign of Henry the Seventh held by Humphrey Stafford, the last Duke 
of Buckingham ofthat name. 

This min is therefore an object of great historical interest—unlike tho gloomy 
nfiua on the banka of tho Danube, though similar in form: for they carry back 
tho thoughts of the spectator to the sod picture of avarice, brutality, and cruel 
disregard of the common dictates of humanity exhibited by the Barons of Ger* 
many and their hordes of retainers who lived by tho spell of tho industrious 
classes; while this recals to our minds the noble deeds and the nobis songs of 
the Cambrians, when, in spite of all these feudal erection* of their invaders* 
they disputed, hand to hand, and foot to font, every Inch of their soil* and, 
inspirited by tha poetry of their bards and their Innate love ofllberty, maintained 
fbr seven hundred years a successful warfare for the defence and Independence 
of their homes:

It forms no part of this history to paint the struggle# and the hanbihips that 
marked Puney^ new buttfe with the world. Fcriiup#, catuidoriiuc the amount 
of exparlcneo ha gained by the calamity that felled, as wills a tiling-stroke, 
hi# uarly prospects, It was hot dearly purchased.: for tlml experience la of large 
value which tenches na to make or mar friendships on certain foundations* and 
to rocoHoct always, that, however willing we may be to servo a friend, we luivc 
no right to Indulge tills Inclination to the prejudice of those w hoao lagftlniato 
support we are. That man Is esteemed generous who scatters life subsEzinre 
abroad * while ha who, In a. spirit of honesty to those who by blood And tics are 
dependent upon him, gathers and keeps life substance exclusively for them, is 
called either a close-fisted or a worldly man: but. In truth, he Is the more gene- 
Tons of the two. The former is generally actuated as much by the praise of the 
world m by the goodness of his nature; while the hitter Is Always Impelled on¬ 
ward by motives of purest generosity. And if Farsey’is oxper fence of MaeClim 
tamed the tide of his better feelings to their proper ehatirtd, and convinced him 
cf the truth of the sentimentwhich declares that true charity springs from a 
mcji'a own hearth, and should be ever Concentrated there, then. 1 say, lie did not 
purchase Mh experience, dearly. He endured (the fact uumt not be hidden) 
years of severest pemtry, era he freed him self from the not in which 
Macfum had entangled him; bat the spirit of yutttli, strong within 
him at the outset of his struggle, carried him through the ordeal, 
and, though ihe cynic's sneer come upon his lip at times, his heart 
Imd lost Uttld of Its early, and, therefore,, htt best Impnlftfe* I say Its 
early, and, therefore, Its best impulses; because it is part of my human creed 
to behove that the heart of man ««*r gains good feeling as it grows old— that a 
selfish, bmUy^lfclrased Arttplnygnever, whatever opportunities ho may have, be¬ 
comes n tine-spirited aim ; in short, that in youth ore developed ah the grander 
parts of our nature, and that knowledge of the world never betters the human 
heart, though it may expand the intellect and ripen the lodgment. 

I should distort human nature, therefore fin my opinion), were 1 to tell the 
reader that Pursey’s experience developed any fresh fading in hi* heart—that 
henceforth he was a better man. Tltat, It concentrated the gaodnotf of his na¬ 
ture In its proper channel, I have already affirmed; and in this respect alone was 
It valuable to him. Being married, tilts result uf life folly waa presented to 1dm

The mitt msetftf Is, for the most part, faultlcua at Newmarket. The whole

profuse os It wain of sport, concentrated it# public interest in the first two days. 
Thu Criterion Stakes serve, u It were* to bubtneo the account of the two-year- 
old stock with the betting market. They frequently send forth the cynosure of 
the book-makers j or* at the worst, supply a " criterion" of the relative preten¬ 
sions of anch Derby stock as may bo In demand between "All SoiLfe” ittid the 
Ides of March. The Cambrldgeahlro fo tha latent of tA* Handicaps, It is the

to more than mere 11 skley influences.” . . , “ Every man to his mutton, and 
ttie coot to riio fore sheet,' 1 says the old fr/eastfe maxim ; and whatever popu-

GUILDHALL, 

Fhekcji NATionAD Guards amd English Guardsmen.—O n Tuesday, P. 
and T. CarttniyM, two Grenadier Guardsmen, were charged with having 
purloined to. 4d. from one of the Paris National Guard, wfiq now, with many of 
hia eomriidea, Ison a vLdi to the metropolis.-Jorepli Dalton, policeman in pri¬ 
vate clothes, said that on the previous night he saw tire prisoner and Cartwright 
walking down Fleete&trcet ami-In-arm wilh two of the National Guard. Antici¬ 
pating that some difference juight arUe botwoeii ihern* he followed* and saw them 
go into the Green Dragon paLhc-bottse. Oncoftlie National Guard put down 
half -sovereign ior the purpose of having remething to drink* which White 
picked up and called for soma rum and shrub. Ho paid for what they hod, 
amounting m 1 b. fid*, and put the change into his pocket. On coming out, tire 
National Hoard asked for his change, but White denied that ho had anything be¬ 
longing to him. On witness interfering. White and Cartwright became very 
violent. They struck witness and a brother officer several times, and Cart¬ 
wright endeavoured to rescue hi# comrade. On being searched, two half-crowns, 
two shilling#, two sixpence#, and fourpence were fouud upon White, which were 
tlia moneys given In change—Dantevffle, one of the National Guards, who was 
examined, completely corroborated tire evidence of the pollcennm. lie arrived 
on the previous night In London by Die train, and was proceeding with h com¬ 
rade along Fleet-street, when two soldi era came up and took them by the atm, 
and proposed that tiicy should go into u public-liuLuae.—But h the prisoners tie- 
used the charge,—air. Aldemsuci Gihb# Haiti tire canddct of the two prisoners was 
most disgraceful. He should sentence White to one month's filled labour In tho 
House oi Corrcutiou, and Cartwright, whose case ware uot re bod* having only 
interfered to rescue his comrade, to seven day#' imprisonment.—The prisoners 
were then Locked up.

MOSETABY TRANSACTIONS POK THE WEEK, 

(Ah?77i our Ciltt Oorrejrpendcnt.} 

It i# nndcsrstoocl that on Tlmrsday Messrs. Ovonond Gurney and Co.* the u mi - 
nent dincotiitt brokers, reduced the interest allowed for money "cm call” to 
two per cent. Under tho combined influence of the disturbed since of both 
Prttflai* and Auatiia, the wtoniuinicd fact of o deficiency in tho prusoflt hnr- 
▼est, and the continued min* CouboIs at the beglunlng of tfio w&uk betrayed 
grant depresoion. The opening price on Monday wo* K4j, which rapidly 
declined to to J, b lightly advancing on f I\u^day to 84J[ to But 
the agreeable change in Hie weather on Wednesday, and absence of 
ajiy uxcHlng newa from tiio Continent, gave a attumlu# to prices, a rise of 
I par cent, being registered, Con sol# closing at fi&i for Money and Time. This 
Improved tone fe;ain characterised the market on Thtiraday, price# again ad¬ 
vancing f per cent. The dosing quotations of the week continue to display 
flniiiisuti Hxchsguer 1)11 fe and Dank Stock, however, not partaking relatively 
In tho advance. Quotations are, for Bank Stock, )A(i Keduced. 64 1 Three per

Transitcticms Jn the Furetgu Huu#« have not* during tho week* displayed 
any marked feature until Thuraday, when, affected by tiie improved state of 
toe Lnglfsh. market, Mexican advanced about 1 per cent-, aud Fortnguesa 
were firmer nt a fractional advance. Dutch Stock ha# been dealt In. but with¬ 
out any decided cliunge In prices. The during rato# are For Danish Bond#,

Tho Simro Market* at tho commcntsemcnt of tho week, experienced great de¬ 
pression; London and Nortb-'Wcstem having been isuldatlifli; Midland Stock 
at fi4| fib; Great Wastem, G7 s Cheater and Holyhead* Edinburgh and Gtesguw, 
la fact, ell thn feuding lines, sharing In the dec lino. Bet a decided reaction 
occurred on Thursday; which Is greatly to be attributed to the publication of a 
letter from Mr. George Hudson to J. Houghton Brancher* Esq*, of Liverpool. 
This letter, while more particularly applicable to tbo state of Midland Stock, at 
tile same time conduits ntrengly the general errors that appear to 
have so powerfully iropreased the public mind. Mr. fludsun recalls 
the f.ut Lhut Consuls have i>eeu 47* ura now HD, and have been 
Iffl), Baak Stock lias paid in per cent., now only pays 7; adding 
that tine cun tin nation of railway traffic, cenridcrlug tbo depressed state of trade, 
ha# exceeded ad reasonable exjujctatimi. In reference to the Midland 
Company, ho states, lit hti inillvlfiiiiil opinion, that another M cull on the £&G 
#h#ro*, with tiiii arrears outstanding, will complete all works In course of con¬ 
struction ; and the remaining £%’> pur shore will be applicable to the liquidation 
of Cm debts. A #[alemoni will bo laid Wore the proprietors at Oft early 
period both by rho North-Western and Midland Companies. The 
Brighton company have already circulated one. Thl# Is the right course 
to restore cue ft dunce * ami tliu accompanying UM, compared with that of 
lost week, affords ground for belief that a revival ha# already comminutaced.

FOR THE WEEK ENDING SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1848. 


EDUCATIONAL MOVEMENTS, 

We notice with pleasure the simultaneous occurrence of move- 
ments in favour of Education in different parts of the country* by 
bodies very differently circumstanced, and of very various degrees 
of power and influence. Three of these movements are of espe¬ 
cial importance* and will operate, each in its own sphere, no incon¬ 
siderable amount of nscftthiesa. The first, and by far the most 
striking of the three, is the extension—long advocated and long 
postponed—of the plan of academical study at the University of 
Cambridge ; the second is the commencement of negotiations be¬ 
tween the authorities at the Horse Guards and the trustees of 
King's College, London, for the purpose of adding to that institu¬ 
tion a department for military education ; and the third is the 
growth and progress of the Lancashire Public School Association, 
for the purpose of affording the means of elementary instruction to 
all the children of the district, and of raising the necessary funds 
by a rate upon the inhabitants, as is done for the support of the 
poor. 

The proposed reform in the University of Cambridge claims our 
first attention. It was, it seems, suggested by the Prince Consort 
soon after his election to the Chancellorship, It reflects high credit 
upon the sagacity of his Royal Highness, if the ease were so, and 
will earn for him the gratitude as well as the admiration of all who 
desire that our great educational institutions should not lag behind 
the intelligence of the age. It has long been felt as a grievance by 
parents haring sons at Cambridge, and by the alumni themselves, 
both while in the University, and after they had quitted it for the 
active pursuits of life, that mathematical proficiency should be 
the only medium by which the honours and the prizes of the 
University were to be obtained; and that, for mathematics, noble 
and use fill as their study is, all other branches of knowledge should 
be either uncultivated or considered as secondary and of no ac¬ 
count, Six months ago the governing body of the University de¬ 


bated on the suggestion of Prince Albert, and proposed an exten¬ 
sion of the course of study, by which the University, taking 
cognizance of the intellectual and scientific progress of the age, 
should open its coveted honours to the young men whom taate, pre¬ 
dilection, or organisation had not made exclusively mathematical. 
This plan was proposed In the Senate last week, and carried by a 
majority of two to one, both of tho resident and non-resident 
members of the University, Wo unfeignedly rejoice at this result. 
It is a striking and most gratifying proof that tho upper classes of 
this country will not, from any unreasoning veneration for tho past 
merely because it is past, allow the magnificent seminaries where 
their youth arc educated to be surpassed in usefulness by more mo¬ 
dem and plebeian institutions that have no such princely or even 
assured means of support as the beneficence of former ages has se¬ 
cured to Oxford and Cambridge, It i* likely, too, that the example 
of Cambridge will be contagions at Oxford; and that well-considered 
and wise reform of acknowledged and proved evils will silence the 
tongues of those who now complain that too obstinate an adherence 
to old ways has diminished the efficiency of that great national 
and richly-endowed seminary. 

The negotiations for annexing to King's College a department 
for the military education of youth who are destined hereafter to 
be the commissioned officers of the British army, is equally signifi¬ 
cant. The reform at Cambridge is happily to be considered a fait 
accompli. The proposal with reference to tho military class at 
King’s College is yet in tho embryo state. We can but hope that 
no difficulties will arise on either side to prevent its consummation. 
Public attention was first drawn to the subject by the Quarterly 
Review^ a periodical which no one will accuse of advocating change 
for the mere sake of changing, or of being over-zealous in the re¬ 
commendation of reforms. The insufficiency of the present semi¬ 
naries for the education of youths destined for the army being 
conceded, the danger to be feared was the erection of a military 


[blXPENCE, 


University to be maintained at a very considerable cost, out of the 
public taxes, “in bad imitation," as the Quarterly observed, “of 
the military schools of France, Prussia, and Holland," Such a 
project, however, is not entertained, nor would it be likely to meet 
with favour either from the authorities of the Horse Guards or from 
the country . The offer made by the trustees of King's College shows 
how easily and inexpensively the needful reform can be effected, pro¬ 
vided the project receive the approbation of the Commander-in-Chief 
and the Secretary at War. These functionaries are almost irrespon¬ 
sible in tho matter—but arc wdl inclined, it is believed, to exorcise 
their power in the direction Indicated. Should the negotiation com¬ 
menced by King's College meet with a favourable hearing, it is pro¬ 
bable that Harrow, Eton, Bugby, aud other seminaries of equal 
importance will make similar offers; and that, without a farthing of 
expense to the nation, facilities hitherto unknown will he accorded 
for the education of the men who are destined hereafter to servo 
their country in the higher ranks of the military profession. As 
long as soldiers are necessary (and until the whole civilized world 
shall not only agree upon the beauty of peace, but learn to practise 
it amongst one another, we do not see how armies are altogether to 
be dispensed with) so long will it be desirable in the highest de¬ 
gree that Education should ennoble the officer and humanize the 
soldier. The better the officer understands all tho details of his 
profession, the more skilfully and, therefore, the more mercifully 
will he exercise it; and the less bloodshed will result from the 
operations which it may be his duty to direct. In this, and indeed 
in aU other respects, the officers of the British army have been 
a model to the world. But if they have attained this high cha¬ 
racter, the greater the credit that is due to them; for they have 
attained it without such efficient aid in the prosecution of their 
military studies as the Government ought to have afforded them. 
Their high sense of honour is their own. No Government cm 
give them that; but proper facilities for the complete study of their

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS. 


[Nov. 11, 1848. 


art are within ito power to bestow* Whatever may be the imme¬ 
diate result in the present instance, there can, we think, be no doubt 
that even the public discussion of the subject will be useful ; and 
thut, sooner or later, the necessary reform will find favour with the 
men who administer the affairs of the army—to the great advan¬ 
tage, we believe, both of the army and the nation. 

The movement made by the Public School Association of Lan¬ 
cashire is of a very different kind The difficulties in the way of 
the establishment of a complete system of National Education, if 
not insuperable, are very considerable. If the zealous friends of 
Education folded their arms and waited until these difficulties were 
removed, the probability, if not the certainly, would be, that a new 
generation of the children of the poor would grow up to 
maturity in an ignorance as dense and a great deal more 
dangerous than that of their predecessors. To elevate 
the mob into a people, is the duty no less than the 
interest of every wise community. The only means to ac¬ 
complish so noble an end is Education. The people of this 
country are an educated people in the truest sense of the term 
They are educated morally, intellectually, politically, and reli¬ 
giously. Underneath the people - fir lower down—lies a numer¬ 
ous, ill-fed, and dangerous mob, without education, either moral, 
Intellectual, political, or religious. It cannot be neglected with 
safety. The children of the mob are costly to us k a thousand 
ways, and more costly the longer they arc suffered to remain 
without instruction* Every one admits this truth. By constant 
effort much has been done to lessen the amount of the eviL No 
scheme that is not national will, we conscientiously believe, ever be 
found of sufficient potency to eradicate It, and to provide for oil 
the children of the mob the instruction which shall elevate them 
into the ranks of the people. But, nevertheless, while such a scheme 
is growing in favour with thinking men, and fructifying in 
the minda of the general community—awaiting its develop¬ 
ment at some distant day—every partial and local effort 
In the good cause deserves the support and encouragement of the 
friends of Education, Of such a kind is the Lancashire Public 
School Association. We have already spoken of tills new Society: 
we approve highly of its efforts as far as they go, although several 
of its warmest supporters arc men who denounce any more com¬ 
prehensive scheme to be propounded by the Government or the 
State as a tyrannical interference with popular rights. All that 
this Association asks of the Legislature k t u> fi empower the people 
to form themselves into school districts, and to levy rates upon 
themselves for the support of schools to be governed by them¬ 
selves.” In an excellent paper upon the subject, by Mr. Gardner 
late ALP. for Leicester, and read by that gcatiemail at a recen, 
meeting of the Association in Mim cheater, be stated that— 

From his own observation of what Tie hnd seen in countries where public edu¬ 
cation flourished, be was prepared t«> say that tho state ofeducation In England, 
taken as a whole, was disgraceful to the rank and civilisation, of the conn.try. 
With regard to what lie hod witnessed In the New England States, lie had had 
demonstrated to him wiist could be dune to elevate the masses by the judicious 
and systematic efforts of a society which neither misted the predone charge to 
the uncertain hands of private charity, nor to the paralysing influence of a cen¬ 
tral authority. There he was made to blush* not merely for the ignorance of 
tha nurses of his countrymen, but even for bis own; for be found that the 
e**! of devoted men bud introduced into these lmmble ucadetntes im¬ 
proved methods for acquiring knowledge, which had nut yet found 
tlieir way into the public schools of England. He bad since visited 
Home scores of primary schools in England f and, without going out of his way 
to make out a case, bill taking them just as they came, leaving out normal and 
model schools, and speaking only of the rank and file Of primary schools, the 
result was this: ho had only seen one very good school which left nothing to 
desire, and where the results, be thought, could not be surpassed under any 
syiftem whatever. Another school, connected with a manufactory, but not in 
this district, also stood out In his mind us a model of establlfthniems of the kind. 
He might have seen Imlf-a-doten more here and there, where fair and substan¬ 
tial results were obtained ; but of the rest he could only predicate degrees of ex¬ 
cessive badness. 

Mr. Gardner id not done in these opinions. He is supported by 
every intelligent foreign traveller, and by every native writer wlio 
W examined the subject for himself with impartiality and dili¬ 
gence. We believe that a scheme of the kind put forward by the 
Lancashire Association would be of benefit in some degree, pro¬ 
vided always (and that is the great difficulty the State encounters), 
that the various religious sects of the district would agree upon the 
kind of instruction to be afforded to the children out of the funds 
to which all the religious denominations of the district would con 
tribute as rate-payers. But even on this supposition it would be 
bat parti oily successful. It could employ no effectual means to 
educate the teacher himself, and to elevate his social position; 
and it would bo altogether powerless m the case of large 
portions of the mob, who know not the advantages of 
knowledge, and who will not allow their children to go to school, 
even if the means of instruction are gratuitously provided for them. 
Herein lies another and very serious difficulty, which no voluntaiy 
association can ever be expected to overcome. The law punishes 
tfee father who starves his child to death ; but what can any volun¬ 
tary association do with the equally guilty father who will not 1 
allow his child to be educated ? Nevertheless, every voluntary 
effort is an effort for good, and wo hail it as a proof that the 
thinking minds of the country are aware of the peril, and anxious 
to combat it bv such means as may be at their command, with the 
certainty that if they cannot remove, they may, nt all events, 
diminish the evil. We therefore with all success to this and every 
other educational movement ; and trust that the greatness of the 
danger will lead to efforts more systematic, and to the employment 
of machinery more calculated to effect the object in view, than all 
the isolated exertions of men acting upon the voluntary principle 
can ever be expected to accomplish.

UNITED STATES, 

We have Intelligence this week from tho States; hut tho political nowa la not of

The result of the election for Governor of the abate of Ohio was sllU to doubt, 
WEST INDIES. 

The Royal Mall Steam-pocket Company's ship Aren, Lieutenant Philip Hast, 
R.N., Cotnmnndflr* arrived at Sontiiumpten on Wednesday with West Indian 
mulls, by which we learn that there was every prospect of good sugar crops 
throughout the West Indies, fine rains having fallen.

Loss or the « Netlet," Oudhawci? Stoop,—N o accounts whatever have 
been received os to the fata of this unfortunate vessel* which left Ifevunport on 
tho 2M ult. for Woolwich, with a cargo of shot and guns. She is supposed to 
hare been seen last off Spithoud, and to have foundered In one of the lute gales 
through the shifting of her eargn. As the imporatire orders of ail the captains 
are to communicate with tho superintendent of ordnance shipping, iu ease any¬ 
thing causes their detention, there in now no hope for the safety of the 
unfortunate crew. A number of bouts* osrn and other guar* apparently beJoug- 
teg to a vessel of the Ertley's class, bare been picked up on the coast between 
Portland and Corfe Castle* Dorset. 

DisTEinuTioN of Puize Monut.—T he distribution of tho proceeds of a 
great many slave prf&es has been delayed in consequence of the authorities of 
Sierra Leona neglecting to acknowledge the receipt of the proclamation of 1846. 
The Admiralty, however, have decided upon allmrtug the distribution to toko 
place Immediately under the new Male ofnb arcs. 

SuoKitfo IN Guabs -BOOHS OF TAB Rotkk Abtiul’ert.— Extract from Gar- 
rlucu Orders, Oct. 15 :—“The prohibition of smoking In guaiTd-tooma hua been

and men, when the oilskin cover to used, is to he worn under the chip. 

CatixiE^a,—The military authorities have at last prohibited, the sale Of *pl 
r$ta In canteens, hi barracks, and cantonments, in England and Ireland. This 
■salutary measure has been carried Into effect alnua tho 1st Inst. Those par¬

(except in tho performance of duty, or for the purpose of joining hi* regiment) 
is to quit the United Kingdom without hiivtag first received her Majesty’s special 
permission. 

P ah no on S«m.—'The Portsmouth correspondent of the Tima correctly 
observes" The practice of paying off ships at the time that they uro in the 
very highest state of discipline and the most precise war trim, we are glad to 
see givfug way to a more sensible and economical: arrangement. There la 
more money wasted In materials destroyed lu the premat me dismantling and 
paym£ off hor Majesty's ships, than in any other department of the navy, or In¬ 
deed In all tho other departments put together. The Rupert* &0, Captain Corry* 
is, according to an official report made to tho Admiralty by Sir William Parker, 
from under whoso command she baa but lately been detached, In such excellent 
condition in every respect that she Is fit for ah other commission without being 
previously dismantled. Tho JJojotataid, steam-sloop. Commander Foote, just re¬ 
turned from two years’ foreign service, to also to be kept in commission. And 
why not all ships longer than throe years, the usual term ? It is a well-admitted 
fact that, on a ship's return from three years’ service, if property officered, she 
is in the highest possible condition for ttrvlco—every man and everything well 
accustomed 10 hi* and it* place. The ship, on arrival at the homestead, to even

COUNTRY NEWS. 

Diaoaarartrt Rio* in a CiraacB,—On Sunday, tiro 29th nlL, the Church 
of St. SldweU* in the city of Exeter* wa* the sceno of a disgraceful riot dur¬ 
ing tiro time of the evening service, In consequence of the Rev. J. Ingle, who 
officiated at the lecture, entering the pulpit In hia surplice. It appears that 
Mr. Ingle, who Is a young man* has persisted in this practice, notwithstand¬ 
ing the dislike of tho parishioners to such proceedings, and notwithstand¬ 
ing the pastoral directions of the Bhhep of the diocese «ome time back, In 
consequence of the scenes which arose fn St. Sldwcll's and other churches 
from its adoption. The uproar commenced with a genera! "coughing down.' 1 
Several persona then moved towards the door, making a great noise in their 
progress; a young woman went off in a fit of hysterics* uttering loud thritfcs* 
whilst a. mob outside besieged the doors of the building, A cry Of 11 Fire I” 
was raii*ed * followed by an announcement that the church doors wore closed* 
and a rush was made to hurst them open. Some persons cried, "Turn him 
oat 1 M ** Fat out his lights l " In the gall erica the uproar was at 1 (b height: 
whistling, the noise of cat-calls, end such cries ns are heard In theatres, 
hurrahing, Ac., echoed throughout the edifice. Mr. Ingle Still persisted to read 
his text, hut was quite Inaudible, and the row increased, some of tho congre¬ 
gation waving their hats, standing on tho seats, jumping over tho seats* bawl¬ 
ing, roaring, and gesticulating, Hke a mob &t an election, Tito reverend gen- 
tiernAn, In tho midst of the con fusion, despatched a messenger to the mayor, 
requesting hia assistance t and whilst tho messenger was gone on hU 
errand, the churchwarden (Mr. Dayman> addressed tho people* and 
also requested Mr. Ingle to remove the cause of the ill-feeling expressed at hid 
appearance. Mr. Ingle treated the request with Indifference t upon which a Mr, 
E. Hill addressed him In no measured terms, and insisted on Mb leaving the 
pulpit, Tho Mayor at length arrlved, and shortly afterwards the Bapcrlntcndiiut 
of police and several constables. The Rev. Chancellor Harrington and the 
Venerable Archdeacon Bartholomew also arrived, Tlte Mayor enforced silence* 
Olid alter admonishing tho people, requested the clergyman to leave tho pulpit 
for a few minutes, and to spook to him in the vestry, Mr, Ingte treated tho 
Mayor's request with tho same disrespect lie had the other ramcnotraiicai ad¬ 
dressed to him. He refused to comply, and took advantage of the temporary 
Inti to give nut his text and proceed with his discourse, tho matter of which was 
■ applied from tho recent political events In Paris and Ireland* At it* ccecIuaLou 
ho declined the advice of the Mayor to retire to his home by a private way into 
Longhruok-sircet. Further evils were* however* averted by his friends carrying 
him off by the way tho Mayor proposed. Tho damage done to tho interior of 
tho church la said to he very considerable. On Friday the Bishop investigated 
tho case at tho Chapter-House, observing that at present nothing had come to 
his knowledge to make a Judicial Inquiry necessary, but enough to 
moke it Ms duty to call bin clergy together tiiat they miuht know 
their Bishop’s views on a question which had caused such a scandal In the 
Church. His Lordship then produced a latter which Mr, Ingle had written 
S 3 a defence of Ilia conduct, and In which he stated that ha had felt It to b& 
hla duty to reiuse taking part In tha services'in any other church than that In 
which he had been licensed, unless he was permitted to wear tho surplice; that 
he had preached nine times in the surplice* the last time being on Sunday lust s 
and that he had preached previously in &t, Edmund's and St. Maty Mijoris, and 
no notice had been taken of his mode of performing the tervlcc. Hb Lordship 
having read the letter generally exculpated Mr. Ingle, and hoped the clergy 
would comply with the express wink of their Bishop with regard to the surplice, 
though be guarded himself against being supposed to have any disposition to 
arivUe clergymen to yield to the threats of a " Puritan mob*" The Rev, F. 
Courtenay* the incumbent of the parish, stated that ha had felt bound to dose tho 
oh arch In the evening, in consequence of o state of diawliitenesH and disorder, 
which ho described as the usual state of thinp at this church on a Sunday 
f wring. In a pan which he designated the ante-church* a young man had been 
known to light hta cigar by the gas. Parties talked, and young glrJs flirted 
there; young people had been seen making signals to each other aero us the gal¬ 
lery, and many young females had been mined by their attendance at these Sun¬ 
day evening lectures. Under these circumstances, he felt bound to close the 
church. The bishop then declared that he would not order Mr. Courtenay to 
keep the church open against his will—that would be tyrannical —to direct a 
clergyman to open his church except when the law required. The time to con* 
rider these things was at the beginning of the year, when the arrangement for 
the Sunday evening lecture was made. This closed the proceedings.

Tuesday last; the Right Hon. Lord Lyttelton, the Rrinclinal, In the chair. Fro- 
feasor Knowles reported to the board that he had attended the meeting of the 
British Association for the Advancement of Science, at Swansea, and had pre¬ 
sented the Invitation of the College to that society to hold their next anniversary 
In Birmingham, and which had been agreed upon. The Rev, Chancellor Law,

£3700 expended in land—giving a county qualification to lW> members. Each 
allotment cost, on tho average, J£i9. Tho statement was received with tho ut¬ 
most satisfaction. It is stated* in proof of the rigid accuracy with which the ac¬ 
count* had been kept, that although at the lowest computet!on 20,ODD halfpen¬ 
nies had been pitid into the secretary's hand** yet the statement showed that an 
error even of il fraction of those small amounts had not occurred. The report 
of the committee detailed the operations oi tiro society since its establishment; 
from which it Appeared that 1491 shares had been subscribed for by 941 mem¬ 
bers; that six other branch societies had been funned* namely, at Coventry, 
Worm tor* Wolverhampton, Dudley, Stafford* and Stour bridge, numbering In 
the aggregate UftO members, holding upward*of l&tm shares: and that the &s>

ming being placed at tho bar, his counsel raises, on objection, which was doomed 
of sufficient importance to be laid before the whole bench of Judges, who were 
to assemble on Thursday to hear the pleadings and decide upon them. Tho 
general import of tho abjection was* that w hile the major preposition of the in¬ 
dictment Charged the prisoner Cummlng: with contravention of the Government 
Security Bill* audition* and conspiracy, the facts wt forth to the minor proposi¬ 
tion amounted to tho crime of high treason.

THE FIUEKBLT DEFIANCE* 

Thou flhalt not rob me* thievish Time, 

Of all my blessings, all my joy; 

I have some jewels in my heart. 

Which thou art powerless to destroy* 

Thou may’st denude mtoo arm of strength, 

And leave my temples &eam T d and bare; 

Deprive mine eyes of passion's light, 

And scatter silver o'er my hair; 

But never, while a book remains, 

And breathes a woman or a child, 

Shalt thou deprive me, whilst I live. 

Of feelings fresh and unde filed. 

No, never while the Earth is fair, 

And reason keeps its dial bright, 

Whatever thy robberies* O Time, 

Shall I he bankrupt of delight. 

Whatever thy victories on my frame; 

Thou c&mt not cheat me of this truth— 

That though the limbs may faint and fail. 

The spirit can renew its youth. 

So, thievish Time, I fear thee not 
Thotfrt powerless on this heart of mine: 

Myjewels shall belong to me; 

*Tis but the settings that are thine.

HUNGARIAN NOBLEMAN!} PEASANT. 


AUSTRIA, 


Vienna, After a partial bombardment, and several daya' hard fighting between 
the Inmrgonts and the Imperial troops* surrendered on the 3Ut ult* to Prineo 
WLndischgrUun From the German papers* sc loam that ” on too Mth the most 
violent cannonade wu raging from 10 o'clock *►«. till midnight The in¬ 
habitants of the suburbs fought with the greatest bravery ; on the other hand, 
the courage of the military did not yield to theirs. In consequence of a very 
llYety ahfnnlsh* the troops began to storm the lines on several points. Those of 
JeLlachteb particularly distinguished themselves, as they stormed thirty barri¬ 
cades within three hours. At seven O'dodt in the evening again four different 
parts of the suburbs were on fire, especially In the faubourg Wlsden and In the 
Landrtruae, where between thirty and forty houses were burnt down. At I t 
o'clock at night nothing as yet was decided, beyond the victorious advance of 
the troops. The Inhabitants of the city itself were said to have rubied white 
flags of truce as early us the previous evening, which, however, were tom down 
by the operatives, Messenlmuser, the Commander of the National Guard, had 
proclaimed martial law, and threatened with capital punishment ail those who 
should shut their house*. On the other hand. Prince WlndlschgrtltK had 
threatened with the Same fate ail those who Should not abut their doors and 
windows. The deputies sent into the camp thought fit not to communicate this 
proclamation to the city. Only a. few shells were thrown on the evening of tho 
tttlu as a means to Inspire terror. They were directed against tha University, 
lit a great number of rockets wad abrapaelLs were thrown on the following day. 


On the 29th, at midday, thetroopa ware already on tho glads, at a distance of 
only SOD to 400 steps from tbs wall of the tuner city.—(See fAe Engraving upon 
tfu front peg*) 

On Uie morning of the Stllth, a deputation of the Caramunnl Council repaired 
to the head-quarters, in order to induce the Gencral-ln-Chief to desist from Ms 
resolution of, putting the city In a statu nf idcge even after its capitulation. The 
Frinco, however, refused to comply with the proposal, and demanded uncondi¬ 
tional submission. Ha nevertheless promised that he would not fire any more 
on the city throughout tho whole of that day, In order that the Inhabitants 
might have time for reflection. 

In the evening, tho Communal, Council assembled in consequence of the 
Prince's reply, and summoned the Commander-In-Chief, and all the other offi¬ 
cers of tbe National Guard, in order to deliberate whether the city could 
be any longer defended, and whether it would be advisable to continue tho re* 


The Council, alter much deliberation, passed a resolution to submit by a ma¬ 
jority of two-thirds of the members. On the same evening a deputation re¬ 
paired to tho Prince to Inform him of their submission, and a proclamation an¬ 
nouncing the fiacl to the citizens was Immediately posted about the streets. In 
consequence of this declaration hostilities ceased. 

The terms imposed by Frluce Windlschgrllti were to the following effect *■— 

1. A large Imperial Austrian flag shall be raised on tho tower of St, Stephen, 
and white flags are to be raised at the clly gates as a sign of pacific submission. 


9. The General of Artillery, Baron Recsey, and nil the other prisoners are to 
be conducted to Heteendorf with ah tbe honour*. 

3, All the cannon In the possession of the Insurgents is to be transported to 
the artillery bamrefcsof tho Palace of Sdtfnbraim, AH the other arms are to bo 
deposited in the Arsenal, 

H a. All tbe money hi tbs possession of til* National Guards and of the armed 
corps Is to be handed over without delay to the Municipal Council, 

| e. Thoee ef the National Guards whom the Municipal Council shall propose as 
guards over the public buildings are to remain armed. 

I 6. All there stipulations ere to bo carried into effect before 6 o'clock on the 
afternoon of the 3dth, otherwise the military operations shall be resumed* 

On the 81st ult, the Municipal Council announced that it accepted those terms, 
and that the preliminary measures for disarming the population had been 
adopted. 

On tho 30th the Imperial troops attacked the Hungarian*, who bad made a 
forward movement, and* after some severe fighting, drove them beck. 

On the 31st the imperial troops proceeded to enter the Inner city, after they 
had taken all the suburbs. The white standards, according to the conditions, 
had been placed on aU the bastions. The troops approached them, but were 
treacherously received by a sharp fire of grape and canister, which they imme¬ 
diately returned with shell* and rockets. At tho same moment tho Imperial li¬ 
brary and the castle were observed to be on Are* The bombardment was conti¬ 
nued for some time, and the city was compelled to surrender In the evening. The 
troops immediately occupied the cattle, the Khmttanor-StrasM* and the Ste- 
phansplatz, where the people continued for acme time firing upon them from the 
windows- 

On the 1st Inst, the entire dty, except a few Isolated points, was taken pea- 
session of by tho Imperial troops before 3 r.it. The insurgent* cast away their 
arms, and sought safety In flight, so th*t when the Croats stormed the Aula 
where the lost defence was vigorously made, Instead of finding It garrisoned by 
the students, they only encountered a hundred or more armed populace, many 
of whom, fighting desperately and refusing to surrender, were cut down or hanged. 
The streets were strewed with arms, and the most active leaders sought safety 
lu all directions; but a severe search was ordered, and tho gates, walls, and 
suburbs were strictly guarded to prevent escape. The most violent resistance 
was made at the Salzgrtes bfiTracke. In consequence Of the treachery by which 
the troops had suffered on the 31st ult., tho field-marshal ordered the utmost 
vigilance to be observed both lu the city and suburbs, whilst s strong body ef 
cavalry, eonairtlng of &&0<l horse, were despatched reward ilie Hungarian fron¬ 
tier, end numerous put roles were directed to scour tbe ores*' roads and path* 
that intersect the vicinity of the city, 

Vienna Si&s suffered considerably. The palace* the library, and several 
pnbllc edifice* and churches were on fire; but, with tho exception.of the 
Augustine and Capudne churches, tbe fires that menaced tho rest we.ro 
extinguished without commuting ravages to any extent. The tuvaluable 
contents Of the public library have not been Injured!. The sufferings of 
the inhabitants during the siege were Inter so. Bern, Messenhauser, and 
Otbor leaders of the united people and National Guards, compelled those who 
were suspected of lukewarmneua to fight In the front ranks* and thus those per¬ 
sons, many of whom wore among the fallen, were exposed to death In front 
and In the rear. It Is understood that none or the Legations have suffered 
except that of Prussia, which was fired by a toeJl that wounded one of the per¬ 
sons attached to the Embassy. On the and the disarming was earned on with¬ 
out further interruption, and all ecu diet having ceased, the imperial troops 
were tranquil master* of the whole city. 

All accounts concur In stating that the damage done to the city is compara¬ 
tively trifling, The fires at the Palace and Library were extinguished without 
injuring any of their valuable contents. The Church of the Augustins has suf¬ 
fered severely, but Canova'a statue has escaped, and the collection of natural 
history has not suffered. Some private habitations have been burned and other* 
injured; but tbe loss, considering the circumstances, is leas toon could lave been 
anticipated. In the suburbs, however, ft Is otherwise * there the destruction 
has been great, in proportion to the desperate nature of the resistance, and long 
duration of the combat. The whole of the arms in the liunds of tlte populace, 
students, fee., have been nearly recovered, and deposited In the specified dtpot f» 
The students bore disappeared, und General Bom itiso, it la said, fisa secceeded 
In escaping. It was understood that although the conditions of the state of ricgO 
and of Wlndtoehgrata’s proclamation would be strictly maintained* It would not 
weigh upon the genera! liberties of the land, and that the people would not be 
deprived of any of the advantages obtained by them in March* A* soon m the 
ringleader* were punished* a general amnesty would bo proclaimed. Prince 
WludlschgrHte and Baron JdlacMch had established their quarters In the Im¬ 
perial Palace. The loader of the Academic Legion bad been arrested, together 
with on aide-de-camp of General ilessenhaaser. General Cordon hid been ap¬ 
pointed Governor of tbe dty. ^ *,. . . 

Prince Windtscbgrjitx on the 2nd, published a proclamation* by which be de¬ 
clares the conditions previously laid down to bo null* owing to tho rupture or 
the capitulation. He established new one** among which ore the complete dis¬ 
solution of the Academic Legion, the dissolution of the National Guard for an 
undetermined period* the suspension of all Journals and associations, forbid¬ 
ding more than ten persona to assemble In the streets* domiciliary visit* to be 
made, to discover d§p<5fa of arm* and Individuals not belonging to toe city. 
The Dint had been proro rued by the Emperor for fifteen days. The German 
Deputies wished to assemble, but Prince WindtKhgrHU declared that the mem¬ 
bers present at Vienna formed only a portion ef Hie Diet, and that the only 
legal place of meeting was that of Cremator, a little town in Moravia, which 
had been fixed by his Majesty. Tbe Deputies, however, continued to hold a

On the 3rd the capital was com¬ 
pletely restored to comparative 
tranquillity. Several houses bad 
been plundered by the soldiery. 
It Is said that In most Instances lb 
was impossible to prevent them, 
as the aggression generally came 
from those houses which wore for¬ 
cibly entered* and* Os * natural 
consequence, robbed of their con¬ 
tents. Wherever houses wore en¬ 
tered for the mere purpose of 
plunder. It is stated that the cul¬ 
prits were immediately shot . 

The brittle between the Hun¬ 
garians and Austrians on tho 30th* 
which ended In the reptile of the 
former, was very sanguinary. It 
was supposed that the Hungarian 
array had proceeded against Gene¬ 
ral SIroonteh, who, though once 
bo. i ten, had reappeared with 10*000 
Austrian* in Hungary, coming 
from (JalicLi. 

Accounts from Fresburg state 
that active preparations were being 
mode by the Hungarians to defend 
that town. 

Attempts had been mode at 
Braun, In Moravia, by the work¬ 
men* excited by a proclamation of 
the Democratic Association, to get 
up nn Insurrection in favour of tho 
Insurgents of Vienna; but after n 
fight In the stmts, in which the 

Nation a I Guorda acted w ith Lhe 
troops, the rioters were completely 
subdued, without much bloodshed.

ON THE WEATHER DURING THE QUARTER ENDING 
1848, SEPTEMBER 30. 

To the Report of the Registrar-General upon the state of the public health of 
tho past quarter is appended a more than usually well analysed account of the 
meteorology of the seasons, deduced from the observations of competent ob- 
servers residing In different parts oftha country, and discussed with groat la¬ 
bour and care by Mr, Glateher- Wo have looked over these reports with in¬ 
creased Interest, and find that tho particulars of the weather am well described 
and classified* and we regret that our apaco will not penult as to copy all wo 
could wish from these reports * but wo strongly tirgo all gentlemen Interested iu 
these pursuits to see tho report Itself, accompanied, as ft is* with well-arranged 
tables of all (ho an Jocta of research* Tho report says that* with the exception 
of a few- day* In J uly, and the period between tho 9 th and 23rd of September, the 
weather was wet, with very Utile sunshine. The mouth of August was extremely 
wet - and. In many places, lira foils of rain* both in July and September, were 
unusually great. So much rain fulling in a periud Immediately following too 
urevlou* bad weather renders the season and the year very remarkable. On 
July l tha linn temperature of tha air ™ 8“ 4' below the mna veins, of 
the tamo day in the seven preceding years; and on the 6th It was 12* 2' l u ex¬ 
cess above the average: on tho former day the mean temperature was 4G* 7\ 
and on the latter day It was 74°. On tho 9th it tu f below the average, and 
cm the Hihlt was 9° 4' above tha average; and on the Ifith it was again below 
the average. These changes wore great ami ubmpt. From July il to Sep¬ 
tember 19 the temperature of the air wafl ulm«t always holcw thu average v^hm 
and particularly so between the llthwid tefch of Suptembar; on tho 12th the 
departure from the average was 13° O', From the SOth of September to the end 
of the quarter the temperature of the air ranged somewhat above tho average 

Ta The mean temperature of tho air for July was 01* for Auguat waa 
end for September was 33° 8', and for the quarter was fiS° which hi 1° 2' bo- 
fow the average value for «vuu years. . . . 

The mean temperature of the dew point in July was 54 O'* In August was 
53° 8'. In September vu 50* S' 1 ; and for the quarter was 52° 8'. 

For the quarter the mean weight of water In a cubic foot of air was 4# grains; 
f>0 degree of humidity was7BS* complete saturation being 1000; the mean elas¬ 
tic force of vapour waa0-411 Inch; and tho mean reading of the fejpmeter was 
29.79T inches, the last-mentioned value being the same as that of the average 
for the seven preceding years. w ... 

The rain in the quarter amounted to 9 inches at Greenwich. The average full 
of rain during this quarter* aa derived from tho ob*emtions Blue* tho year 


181b, la 7 inches. In tho your 1824 the fall of rain in this quarter was 9 inches; 
in 1838 it WM 12 J Inches; In 1839 it was 11 inches; and in 1839 It Wm 10* 
Inches. The total foil this year till September 30 was 24* Inches; la the years 
1841 to 1847 tile amounts were 21. 14, 17*, 18, 16J, 17#, and II# Inches respect¬ 
ively. The excess of the foil of rain this year over the average for the seven 
preceding years it 7# inches. 

Iu the years 1824 and 1828 the depth of rain fallen to tho end of September 
exceeded 23 Inches; and In the years 1839 and 1839* the amount collected ex¬ 
ceeded 20 inches. So largo a fall as 24 i inches rithin the first nine months of 
tho year has probably not been exceeded within thte century. 

At Stony hum the fall within the past quarter was 15 inches; at Hereford It 
was 13 Inches; at Bedtimton it was 13# Laches; at Leeds It was 12) inches; 
at Torquay it was id# incfrefl; and at all other places It was less—more particu¬ 
larly on the eastern coast and at Durham and Newcastle. Bftln foil Oti he&rly 
every (lay In August, and on tho average ft fell on two out of throe days 
during tha quarter. Oh July 14th, rain to tho depth Of half On inch fell In half 
an hour; at Thwalto, on Sept. 24, It fell so heavily that more than two Inches 
fell within flvo houte* On the 2ftth, 2jfth, and 30th of Sept, rain waa foiling, 
wit]i slight exceptions* continuously all over the country: and the amount was 
2) Inches at most places. 

There were five exhibitions of tiio aurora borealis during tho quarter, which 
occurred on July llth, August 28th, Sept, 4th* 8th, and 18th. 

Thunder atomm occurred on July 14th, 2Sth, August 1st, 3d, 4th Sth, 6th, 7th, 
8th, 9th, llllli, I tth, 22d, 23d, 31st* and Sept.Sth; and lightning, unaccompanied 
by thunder* was seen on July 24th, August 33d, 24th, 2Sth* Sept 23d and 2Sth. 

(foies of wind took place nil over tho eountty on Aug. 20th, 21st, and 23d, but 
more particularly on the 3 tot; at many places trees were blown down* and a 
great deal of Injury ws« done. Coasting veatofo and fishing-boats go me rally suf¬ 
fered very ranch. 

The following remarks are added* relative to agriculture. The great 
prevalence of ralu during the quarter, together with the very short periods of 
sunshine, hM harassed tho former In gathering in tho crops. The month of 
July was about Its usual character, but the constant rain Ln August impeded the 
former ln hfo operations, and In many of the southern counties injured the crops 
considerably, causing the cem to sprout* and seed leaves to appear Of fully an 
Inch In length by the middle of August. Tho greater cold now of tiio northern 
counties prevented the sprouting of tho com, but U otherwiso was seriously in¬ 
jured , There are ogriculhu-al reports from different places; and tho bondudlng 
remarks are i—Tho recent heavy raiua (now Oct, 6) excite fresh anxiety with 
respect to seed-time. On wet lands a great deal Is needed to be done to prepare 
them for flowing, which operation mast be tote, and, therefore* to a certain ex¬ 
tent, more precarious thou If performed under the more favourable ciicum- 
Btanctti of a good seed season. 

The publication of these reports cannot foil greatly to improve our knowledge* 


not only upon meteorology Itself, but also upon its bearing upon the public 
haalth* agriculture, The debt of graft tudo already due to the Registrar- 
General Is much increased by the facilities thus given by him to the useful appli¬ 
cation of these various meteorological observations* aa thus exam hied and dis¬ 
cussed by Mr. Glafoher._ ' 

The Lein CuaNcettoa a&td Tire Ban.—On Saturday, a numonraa manting 
of tho members of tbo equity bar was bald at the Did Hall, Lincoln ’e-lnu-fleUts 
for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of petitioning the Lord 
Chancellor to render the flirtings of the courts at Llncotii'S-hm more permanent. 
Shortly before four o’clock the choir was taken by Mr. S. Lovett. There were 
at the time about forty gomiemen, Including the Soliqimr-Generat* present. The 
chairman, In'opening tha proceedings, said that although he woa generally in 
fovuur of publicity, lie thought it would not bo un act of respect to the Lord 
Chancellor to sanction any report of the meeting to go before the public. He 
therefore hoped that IT any gentlemen present were attending as reportera, 
they would withdrew, Tho reporters present then withdrew. Mr. Mollus* it 
tile rising of the Vlce-Cluuicollor of England's Court on Saturday, requested the 
postponement of a* came in order that be might attend the meeting of the bar 
respecting the proposed alteration of the sittings of the court* and at Uiasanio 
time expressed a hope that his Honor was favourable to the wishes of tiie bar 
In desiring that the sittings might bo hold as long as possible at Lincoln's-inn 
for the convenience of the junior bar. The. Vice-Chancellor said he was de¬ 
cidedly of opinion that rho new regulation for holding tho sittings at 'Uteatmin- 
eter daring the session of Parliament wafl the most salutary that could be coma 
to* He thought* moreover, that the junion did not do themselves justice* This ex- 
presslan of his Honor's (says a correspondent Of the Tiirift) Was supposed to mean 
that the junior barrister* did not rise early enough to get through theft bu- 
Bhioss. An application was subsequently made to tho Lord Chancellor* on the 
part of tiie deputation of the JimJor bar* which terminated in an assurance that 
the sittings for the present and Hilary Terra* were an experiment; and that 
tho question with respect to the sittings at Westminster after tho other terms wo* 
still open to consideration.

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS. 


LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER U, laid. 

Vienna Lab at length been occupied by the Imperial troops, after 
a siege which will rank ad one of the most memorable in history. 
The iingotiatione wore conducted with great firmness* yet with 
grtat moderation, by Frmcf Wmdiachgriita; and the finai result, 


after negotiation had failed , was obtained with far less destruction 
both of life and property than might have been expected in a 
struggle so protracted. Let us hope that Prince WndischgTatz 
and the advisers of the Emperor will act with equal prudence and 
moderation, now that they are once again the masters of the Aus¬ 
trian capital We may blame the conduct of the Viennese people 
ns much as wo will; wg may abhor tho murder of La tour; we may 
condemn the breach of faith of which the excited insurgents were 
guilty, when from the high tower of tit. Stephen's the watchers an¬ 
nounced that, the Hungarians were approaching; we may deplore 
the excesses of the ignorant mob; we may regret, for every possi¬ 
ble reason, the commotion among the German population of Aus¬ 
tria; but we must, nevertheless, remember that all the blame of these 
events is not justly attributable to the people. Even the few 
statesmen of the old school still left in Austria must confess, and, 
indeed, have confessed, that the system pursued for more than thirty 
years under the auspices of Prince Mettemich was founded 
upon an error. Any attempt to return to that system would tie 
the most fearful mistake that the reigning family could commit. 
It would be, indeed, a proof of signal incapacity on the part of the 
advisers of the Emperor—whether they be constitutional Ministers, 
or an irresponsible Camarilla—to believe, because the Germans 
have not, in the very infancy of their political liberty, known how 
to rm it with the wisdom of men who had long bean accustomed 
to free institutions, that they were utterly unfit to be entrusted with 
them. The ignorance of rulers and the ignorance of mobs are 
equally deplorable. The ]>olitical education of a people is not 
attainable in a day. To embark in n reactionary policy would 
only assuredly lead to further and more dreadful evils. It should 
bo the great object of all the true friends of Austria to pre¬ 
pare the people by slow and cautious, but strictly progressive and 
liberal steps, for the quiet, sober, and rational exercise of the con¬ 
stitutional liberty, of which, England, two centuries ago, began to 
set an example to the nations, and which must, sooner or later, 
extend over all Europe. Were Prince Windiscbgratis as wise in 
policy as he is great in strategy—could he rule with as much mo¬ 
deration and good sense as he haa exhibited in the capacity of a 
leader of armies—and were he supported by the statesmanship and 
intellect of the country, there might be much reason to believe that 
the worst was over ; and that tho future struggles of Germans, 
Sclavomatis, Magyars, and Italians, to attain the liberty they seve¬ 
rally desire, might be unattended with mutual hatred and exaspe¬ 
ration, and unstained with the blood of one another. We 
must confess that such a result is scarcely to be hoped 
for. Much* however, will depend upon the manner in 
which the victory over the Viennese shall be turned to 
accountv Vienna cannot continue to be occupied by Croats. Un¬ 
less German Austria be ruled by Germane, the old animosities will 
be produced and re-produced in miserable perpetuity, and the ra¬ 
tional desire for free institutions of the various populations will 
be superseded by the unreasonable and brutal hatreds of race 
against race, and nationality against nationality. The turbulent 
mob has received a signal discomfiture. It is now tho time for the 
Emperor to conciliate the powerful classes immediately above the 
mob; the classes that have something to gain from order accom¬ 
panied by rational liberty, and that have everything to lose from 
disorder. These classes must lie crushed and become a mob them- 
selves under tho heel of anarchy. It is the duty of the men who 
now wield power to prevent such a consummation. They have 
taken one step towards it by restoring order. The next step U 
to secure it upon the basis of true liberty. 


Thr French Constitution—Organic Laws included—has been 
finally voted by the National Assembly, A hundred aalvoa of ar¬ 
tillery from the hwtdidts announced the important fact to the 
affrighted Parisians ; who, previously unaware of, and caring little 
for the circumstance, imagined that a new insurrection of the Red 
Republicans had taken place, and that the guna of Cnvaignac were 
once again pointed at those terrible and ever-discontented faux- 
bourgs. In the fauxhourgs themselves a similar idea prevailed ; 
and in some of tho districts the Communists and Red Republican 
workmen actually commenced, at the first sound of the artillery, 
the erection of new barricades—a significant fact, which General 
Cnvuignac, M. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, or whoever the new 
President may be, would do well to bear in memoiy, as showing 
the constant readiness of a section of the population to try the 
chances of insurrection on behalf of their ideas. 

It has been resolved that the passing of the Constitution shall be 
celebrated as a national fete \ and that one of those imposing and 
poetical ceremonials, so dear to tho imagination of the French 
people, which ornamented the first Revolution, and which were re¬ 
vived by the Gallic genius of M. Ledm-Rollin in the palmy days 
of the Provisional Government, shell take place to*morrow (Sun¬ 
day), A lofty tribune is to be erected in front of the gate of the 
Tuilcrlcs Gardens, looking towards the Obelisk and the Champs 
Ely sees. The Constitution is to be formally read by the President 
of the Assembly, the members of which, as well as those of all the 
great bodies of the State, are to be present. The area of the Place 
is to be occupied by the Notional Guard of Paris and deputation* from 
those of the departments; and the sum of600,000 francs is to be distri ■ 
bated among the poor. On the succeeding Sunday the Constitu¬ 
tion is to be formally read by the Mayors of all the communes of 
France, in a public place, we miss in this ceremonial the gorgeons- 
ucbs which characterised the earlier fetes of the Revolution : but 
funds are not quite so plentiful at present as they were theii; and 
the cost of previous fetes has somewhat soured the spirits and 
drained the pockets of the tax-paying community. The present 
fete will, nevertheless, be sufficiently expensive ; and the mere con¬ 
gregation of such largo bodies of men, animated, as they probably 
will be, by the enthusiasm which in all crowds is contagious, will 
lend it a magnificence to which the gilded cars and heathen per¬ 
sonifications of the earlier /etes could have added little or nothing. 

The Assembly, although it has done its woik* has refuaed to ad¬ 
journ* It is evidently afraid, that, once separated, it wotdd never 
meet again—a very likely result in the present temper of the 
Parisian population. A motion for adjournment until the day 
after the Presidential election was defeated by a majority of 507 
against 214 ; but, notwithstanding this vote, the applications of 
members for leave to visit their families ore so numorons, that fears 
are entertained that there will not remain in Paris a sufficient num¬ 
ber of representatives to form a quorum. 

In the meantime there is a perfect panic in the Money Market. 
The recent exposition of the financial state of the Republic, than 
which nothing could well be worse, has thrown the Bourse into a 
confusion which has not been paralleled since the Revolution, 
Generals ChHiigornier, and Bedeau, and Bugeand—the hero of 
the Algerine ruv.zios—have severally declined lo stand for the Pre¬ 
sidency, bo that there are now hut two real candidates in the field— 
General Cavaignac and M> Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, It is 
generally considered that the chances of General Cavaignac have 
increased.

The caws came before the Court upon an toform&tion os regarded the etch - 
togs nf her Majesty, and upon a bill filed by Prince Albert na regmfiod those 
of his Royal HlgbmeAS. The relief sought was, that tha defendant Strange 
might ba ordered to deliver up all fmprasafona and copies of the etohings, and 
might be restrained hy Injunction from exhibiting them, or from making any 
copies of Uns same, or from to any manner publishing them, and from pnb- 
I Is king tha doacriptivo catufogue. Various passages from the catalogue were 
set oat In the pleadings, and which were comments aiul criticisms on the va¬ 
rious etehtogs (63 ln mtinbor) described to it. The original motion far an In¬ 
junction was nuado during the vacation, upon affidavits, one of which was 
mode by Prince Albert, 

An Injunction was granted on this application; but It hod been store dis¬ 
covered that a person named Jasper Tomsrit Judge, «nfi bid son, Jasper A, 
T. Judge, of Windsor, were connected with tho Intended publication, ami they 
having been made defendants to the suits* by amendment, too present motion 
was mado to extend tho Injunction to thorn. 

In support of tha application, Mr, Jolm Btirgfas Brown, of Windsor, printer, 
deposed that be was entraated by her Majesty snid the. Prince with tho printing 
of impressions from the etchings fn question, and always faithfully returned to 
the Palace all the perfect tmpreaslang which were made; that h© employed in 
me work a pressman, whom he had always trusted us a confidential servant; 
but won, nevertiioicaa, carefrti as to the quantity of print paper which he gave 
out, and in seeing that It was all returned.—A printer, named Whittington, who 
worked for Mr, Brown, deposed that the pressman alluded to by the latter 
habitually took off Impressions of tha etchings for himself on card or common 
paper, and that the deponent had himself about 10 of those impressions which 
tho pressman hud given hluu but that the deponent bad not allowed any one 
to see them except his wife* He had met the defendant Jasper Tonwott Judge 
In the street, who accosted him in such a manner as evidently showed ho know 
that the deponent had some of tho prints, and tho defendant Judge said he 
could make It worth the deponent's while, if the deponent wished to dispose of 
tbctn t but the deponent declined tire offer, and did not even Jet the defendant 
Judge see what he had got* 

A gentleman named John Fanrow Lawrence, of Albert-terrace, Windsor, also 
deposed that he knew tho defendant Jasper Tomsett Judge; that ho recollected 
hearing a rumour four or five in an thn ago that tho aald J^per Tomsatt Judge 
bad a collection of prints and otchtogs mode by her Majesty and Frlnce Albert; 
and he iticrwati* inct the sold Jasper Tom sett Judge, and he wild to him be un¬ 
derstood ho had some drawings of the Queens and the Prinee’s, to which the 
atria Jasper Tomsott Judge replied, 4t Oh, you are ipute welcome to see them;” 
and that shout a month after such conversation ho called at the house of tho 
defendant Judge, who then produced to him »portfolio with about so prims 
to It, and told him they bad been engraved by the Frlnce and Queen, and that 
ho observed the names cf the Queen and Prince Albert on thorn, and he noticed 
that <m some of them the signatures or nuncios appeared reversed. 

The yicfl-Chaneellor asked if ihere we* evidence of an intention to publish? 

The Solicitor General read tha affidavit* to Indicate the intention. 

The Vice-Chancellor: Then let the injunction be extended to these defendants, 

INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT* 

In xe Dion i>e Bouacicxcit, Dramatic ACTitou.—[Before Mr, Commit 
etonor Law.]—This insolvent, the dramatic writer, author of Used up, 1 ' ftc., 
Applied On Wednesday, under tbs Protection Act. From the insolvent's ex¬ 
amination, It appeared that he had, to June last, applied to tho Court of 
Bankruptcy, under the Debtor and Creditor Private Arrangement Act, or, a* 
the learned Coimrtiiatoner termed It, The Clandestine Bankruptcy Act," and 
hi* petition had been dismissed. On being asked what countryman lie was, 
he said he was an Irishman, but Iris father waa a Frenchman, His name 
wua Bourclcaitit, and when In France be had passed as Viscount da Jlourd- 
cault, to which title he had a right* He had pleaded to an action for somo 
theatrical dresses, a plea of Infancy, by the name of Lee Morton, which was 
hl& theatrical name when a minor* b 1*43, when he was of age, he made 
about £210 an a dramatic writer* Ha wan married in IMS. and had received 
upwards of £1000 from hts wife, now dead, out ef her settled property* He I 
™ Interested in a new opera, entitled « Esmeralda/ 1 for which At. Jnllien 
had offered him £2Q0, and Mr. Addison, the ornate-sailer, h&d offered £22o; 
ho had written Lire words, amt Mr. Benedict composed the music, 
Mr. Nfehota put the menu script of the opera into the hsnda of the registrar of 
tho Court, saying that it was given up for the benefit of the creditors*— 
In answer to further questions, the insolvent arid he was author of Us&d Up," 
performed stthe Haymarket Theatre, for wideh bo received £30; and, on ac¬ 
count of its success, Mr* Webster had made him a present of £40 more. He had 
received from Mr, Webster about £1000*1 nee 1343, for dratnutie pieces, ami he 
did not now uwn him anything. j n t ^ B a llie period he had received money 
from Mr. Beale, and a small sum from Mr, Uolfe for a &<mg* Tho comedy of 
* H Louden Assurance" was written for Madame Vestris* when she had Covent- 
Gartion Theatre* and he hod sold it to Mr, Webster for £40 or £m Hfa engage¬ 
ment with Mr. Webstar was, In effect, that when he required money, whether on 
pieces written or to be written, Mr. Webster made him advances, HU last trans¬ 
action with Mr, Webster was in October, when ho undertook to write & five-act 
comedy, and he obtained an advance*—Mr* Hughes: Has not Mr. Webster u co¬ 
medy of yours, for which you are to be paid £flO0, and have received £l!>0?— 
Insolvent; Mr. Webster has a comedy, for which bo will owe me £330. Tlmt is, 

I have a contingent interest to that amount, aa stated In my schedule. The 
agreement was that I should write a flvc-act comedy for £400* It was finished 
about September last, and delivered; he has paid me about £40 or £50 ou ac¬ 
count of ft. The insolvent farther slated that the opera ho gave up would pro¬ 
duce £230, and, with the £330 to be received from Mr. Webster, there would bo 
£570 available for his creditor. It appeared that he had a £l 00 bill discounted 
hy Mr, Lawrence Levy, the father of Edward Lawrence Lory, and he tleporired 
two pieces with him as security. Tie declined to tt ate the names of the uteres, 

as it would be unfair towards Mr* Webster. He got £75 on the £h«> bill_ 

Mr. Nichols: That is at tho rate of 100 per cent. The learned counsel ^airt ho 
had a document signed by nine creditors, whose debt* were £ 200 , consenting to 
tli© final order* The Insolvent said he valued on©of th© pieces in Lew's jhjsscs- 
flion at £200, and the other at £fiQ* They were not pieces fit for the Itovmarket, 
and Iw had recourse to a money-lender. Mr. Levy wag at the time connected 
irith tho management of the Lyceum Theatre,—His Htmor, on the termination 
of the examination, said ho had only to name a day for tho final order. It wittid 
be toon whether Messrs, L©vy would stand creditors or debtors : hi themoau- 
tlmo an tuiconnt would be obtained from Mr. Webster. The Court then named 
the 7th of December for the final order, and dispensed with tiio atteudanco 
of Mr. Webster. There would bo a amn for tho creditors, and no doubt they 
would bo paid in IU11.

[Nov. ll, 1848, 


NEW DECORATIONS AT 
GUILDHALL, 

Ybar by year have we ill titrated 
the pageant splendour of the p rest 
Civic FeAtival— the memorable OtU 
of November—when what would 
have been called in times of yore 
the Installation Fcoat of London’s 
Lord, takes place in the Guildhall 
of the City. The oat-door Pageant, 
and the in-door Banquet, have an¬ 
nually been pictured in our pages; 
and onr Artists have oven travelled 
many centuries back, to pourtray the 
ceremonial in all its antique gro- 
teaqneness* compared with which 
the Show of the present day is hut 
a quiet affair. 

In the fittings of the Guildhall 
and the adjoining apartments, there 
has been, from time to time, a con¬ 
siderable advance of ingenuity and 
taste. Improved modes of lighting 
—gas, for example—have greatly 
heightened the brilliancy of the 
scene. And, within these few years, 
there has been a good deal of very 
meritorious exertion on the port of 
the superintendents of the entertain¬ 
ment to provide highly artistic gra¬ 
tification for the company—an ele- 

lined ^succeed the Banquet itself 
The reader is, doubtless, aware that 
upon this occasion the Courts ad¬ 
joining the Guildhall are used as 
reception and promenade rooms. In 
the Council-Chamber, a sort of 
levee is held by the Lord and Lady 
Mayoress before dinner ; and after, 
this spacious room is devoted in 
dancing. In a corridor adjoining 
was exhibited, for the first time, on 
Thursday night, the picturesque 
model we have here engraved. 
The subject is the famed TUailp, 
at Venice, built in 1589-91, by Da 
Ponte, and consisting of a s ingle arch, 
98 feet spao. The model is cleveriv 
constructed, and painted by Mr. F, 
Fenton, under the superintendence 
of Mr. j. B. Sunning, Clerk of the 


LORD MAY OR'S DAY. 



IlOTAL ANO CIVIC INSIGNIA, AT GUILDHALL, 


Works to the City of London. 1* 
is a very effective piece of set scene- 
work, lighted after the improved 
method now adopted in our theatres. 
The Insignia, which we havb also 
engraved, were placed over the Lord 
Mayor's Table fn the Guildhall. 
The group consists of the gigantic 
insignia of his Koyal Highness the 
Prince of Wales, the feathers being 
nine feet high, and made of spuu 

t Beneath are the civic an- 

A new entrance has also been 
constructed for the exterior of the 
Guildhall. It consists of a large 
central arch, dunked with canopies, 
surmounted with pinnacles—tho 
whole decorated with Hags, and em¬ 
blazoned with arms. At night, 
when the light of a large gas star 
waa thrown upon the screen and the 
Hull front, the effect was very bril¬ 
liant, especially when seen from 
the end of King-street, 

SWEARING-IN OF THE 
LORD MAYOR. 

Tars ceremony took place in the Guild* 
liftli on Wednesday, after the member a 
or the Company to which tho Lord 
Mayor belongs, the late Lord Mayor 
the being virtually out. of office), *o- 
ventl of the Aldermen, the Sheri (ft, 
and a number or the civic Authorities, 
had partaken of a sumptuous break¬ 
fast at the Mansion-house. Shortly 
after two o’clock, the oWoqwijqewlon 
reached Guildhall, and advanced in 
the Amt instance, to the now Council 
Chamber, and then into the hall, when 
Sir Joins* Duke took the various oaths 
o f al legi once and supremacy. Th c Lu rd 
Mayor received tho congratulations 0 f 
his brother Aldermen, and wai inducted, 
by bis predecessor Into the civic chair; 
when the Chamberlain delivered to his 
Lordship the purse, and to the mace- 
bearer and sword-bearer their respec¬ 
tive Insignia of Office, which his Lcrd- 
«hip returned to the present holders, 
expressing a hope that they may long 
continue to enjoy their office. After 
the usual forms and ceremonies, the 
Lord Mayor and tho members of the 
Corporation returned to tho Mansion, 
house.

gratifying a great portion of tho Inhabitants of tho Lord Mayor’s Ward {tar- 
rtngdon Without) with a sight of the pageant i in the fine broad line of Kar¬ 
lin &don-strcet, it woe seen to great ailvauiugo. 

His Lordship, who looked extremely well, was loudly cheered* and flags were 
hung from several houses in the Ward. 

At HluckfriarS-hritige the ctvfa party rt took water. 1 * Then tho gilt barges 
went tdfuhing up the river, their emblazoned banners gaily fluttering In the 
wind and the glare of parting autumnal sunbeams* The bridges wore crowded 
with spectators ; and as the gay flotilla passed through the arches, the appluuso

THE PRESENTATION AT WESTMINSTER. 

On reaching Westminster-hrIrfgo* the party landed* and walked In procession 
to the Co art of Exchequer, which they entered at two o’clock- Their arrival

appearance on the bench in fall costume. The Lord Mayor, the late Lord 
Mayor, tho Recorder, the City Remembrancer, and other civic functionaries,

ively bowed to the bench. 

The Recorder then delivered an eloquent address to their Lordships* stating 
that he bad the honour to present to them the Right Hon- Sir James. Duke* 
who had boon chosen by the citizens of the city of Loudon to fill the office of 
Lord Mayor for the ensuing year. It was with the perfect concurrence of 
both branches of tho Corporation* tho Livery and the Court of Aldermen, 
that this distinction hod been conferred upon him, vie, being chosen tho 
chief magistrate of their ancient city ; the ndvucccnieat of Sir James Duke 
to tho place he now occupied affording a great Instance of the happy oppor¬ 
tunities which our constitution presented to the detorvmg of every class 
of the community to achieve wealth end honour, and to crown Industry and, 
integrity with success. Sir James Duke entered the civil aervicts of tbe Navy 
under the late Sir Tutor Parker; he also nerved in the Mediterranean under 
Viscount ExmoutIn* until Lite end of 1813; and he then became secretary to 
Admiral Sir John Doyle, continuing to fill that occupation until 1314. when his 
nwl services were terminated by the Peace. In 1819 he commenced his com¬

yiduahle piece of plate, Bsa token of the respect and esteem which they enter¬ 
tained for hi* character, and far tho merit and ability which he had shown in the 
dUchargo of the duties of the office. In connexion with his partner, Mr, 
Hill, he became a member of a leading Arm In the coal trade* and by good for¬ 
tune was enabled at that Important juncture to retiro from business, tearing 
it In tiro bands of hfa partner, and thus would be enabled to discharge Ms im¬ 
portant duties free from those cures and anxieties which pressed upon the atten¬ 
tion of a merchant engaged In the transaction of a great amount of business 3a 
the city* In 1837 be was elected * representative fa Parliament far the borough 
of Bostotii and hod since continued fa represent that place. Having alluded to the 
expertvn» which Sir James Duke had acquired fa the udminfatiratton of Justice, 
fa having assisted for ufaM years at the Central Criminal Court, while tho 
Judges of Westminster ILtll wore upon the bench* and to tho events which 
had lately culled forth the loyalty of the citizens of London, he concluded by 
stating* that* should any period of difficulty and danger arise, they would confi¬ 
dently rely upon the loyalty and stability of hi* character to meet it, being par¬ 
ticularly reminded of the service* rendered by Jifa eminent predecessor, tho 
late Lord Mayor, In anticipating tire emergency to which he hid alluded. 

The Chieniiron congratulated Sir Jama* upon tiifi high and distinguished 
honour which had been conferred upon him.

OMsor, wm warmly cheered. The procosslon^Ln its Ifae of costumes of all ages, 
and vehicle* of various build* from the gilt coach of tho last century fa the 
mute carriages of yesterday, Its assemblage of liveries of old and of to-day, 
its martial bands and emblem* of peace, Us mock chivalry, and alternations of 
theatric taste and real civic auto—appeared fa bo longer than usual. The Com- 
poutes come out In stronger muster than testy ear: we bad* for instance, the 
BowyerV Company, carrying back to a far-distant age. The distinctive and 
great point of attraction was, however, a large model of a ship of war, drawn 
upon a car* with M streamers waring in tho wind, 11 as Guy aJngetli. The model 
was manned by a living crew; and this emblem of our 11 wooden walls " was 
loudly chcored. Its introduction was in happy reference fa the Lord Mayors 
airly services. If wo remember rtghUy, Aldermen Lucas and Sir John Flrfa 
introduced the ship in their processions* both fafiau Lord May or g bring con¬ 
nected wllh the mo reantilo marine*

Mill Liter on the present occaritsn, and then worn on to observe—^' ‘Thongh U is 
woll known what are my opinions with regard to the present Government, and j 
tiuti I am always happy te give thetn my humble support, yet I think I shall 
not bo suspected of rnridng any purraobitcn uHonft when I say, ihnt our host thanks 
are due fa tlumi wti the preseflt occasion* It mast at all times bu matter uf gratlflca- 
Uon fa the riliteiufaf Luudou when they can oonsricntlously give tbdr support fa i 
the Govonunenl; of tiro country; and if over theta was a Umo when it wan more 1 


easentJaily necessary fa do this, that time is tha present moment:. I am 
sure that it is to bo attributed to tho ekcrtiouB of Ministers In u great 
measure, that the tranquillity of this end of the sister country has been 
mulmaluGd, They hare upheld tho mfijoriy Of the law, ut the aamo time 
that they have tempered Justice with mercy ; and 1 hope the citizens at 
Luiidun will never omit an opportunity fa show thrir respect, and fa give their 
support to a Government which uefa npou these principles. On the other hand, 
I can (Utttire the members of Government that tho cltlfans of London will always 
bo happy to set an example of loyalty to tho Sovereign, and of obedience: to the 
law. I have much pleasure fn pressing tho health of the Marquis of Luus- 
downo* and tho other members of her Majesty's Govern room. (Cheers.) 

Tho Marquis of Lantfdnwne. on rlring to acknowledge the toast* wita received 
with tend cheers. He said, I beg leave* on behalf or my col leagues here present, 
to return yon our hearty thanks for tire honour which you have done us. 1 
cannot do *o without, at the sumo time, uspreMlug great regret that my noble 
f.dond, tho noble Lord At the head of the Treasury, and who ifi also one of your 
representatives In parlltiment, has been unable* flora Indisposition, to 
attend hero tills day. It Is matter of peculiar regret for lrim; be¬ 
cause never waa there u moment at which aU persons, whether invested 
with authority or without it, might be more proud fa render rospoct to 
the city of London, and to partake of its hospitality, than at tho close Of tills 
eventful year—a your which, I say* has placed tho city of Loudon In the moat 
advantageous point of view, as compared with any other city In the world; be¬ 
cause, after tho events of the your, however wo may sympathise with 
the feelings, and, hoiruvor wo may desire the triumph of the a word—a 
sword which has keen drawn in the cause of order, and in defence of 
society—it is, neverthelMs* matter of groat Katisihriion, and will bo, to our dying 
day* that, during the whole of this eventful year, tills great city has remained 
hi peace* and that It has required nothing to maintain that pence* but the arm 
of the civil power. That is a reflection which wo shall always carry with 
ua—^which must always he a source of satMftetion fa us; for neither the 
Government nor the people of tills country ore likely to forget that the 
peace and Ure tranquillity of the City waa preserved* urni ail apprehensions 
of danger were allayed, through tha exertions of the ciUgenu themselves, and in 
an especial manner through tho exertions of tho gentleman who alts At 
my right hand (cheers), whose zealous* steady* mid successful discharge of his 
duties as Lord Mayor last year has left the dty of London us he hu3 left tho 
conatitutlom of the country, In a happier, prouder, and safer condition faun ever 
It waa In before (loud cheera). He then proposed the health of the Lord Mayor 
elect, and prosperity fa the dty of London. 

Tho Lord. Mayor shortly roturited thanks, and then, tu n complimentary ad¬ 
dress, proposed the health of M, de Beauraout* Minister of Franco* and the 
foreign ambos&adara 

Tho French Ambassador* Ln acknowledging the compliment, offered tho host 
thunks of hts country for tho cordial hospitality which of lute hud been so 
kindly bestowed upon a grant many of them on their visit to tha metropolis 
(Cheers). The land of Engtead was a land of liberty* and Of hospitality for all 
foreigners: it waa a bond of friendship far Frenchmen. England had opened her 
heart is well to nor frentieni to Frenchmen. She did right fa doing 
so. She did right for her own interest. A noblo country like Eng¬ 
land, la order fa he admired and beloved* wanted only to h^ known. 
The boat answer riio coufd make to still existing, though every day vanishing 
prejudices, was fa tbow herself tu every eye. Let us, my Lord*" gaid his Excel¬ 
lency, “ enjoy—let Europe* let aU thu people of Europe enjoy—the blessing trod 
the benefit of that mutual good understanding which Is and ever will ho, the test 
security tor the maintenance of the peace of tho world. We no more entertain, 
neither ln England nor trance, that false opinion, that the prosperity cf one 
country la founded upon the misery of another (Loud cheers,) We tflink, on tho 
contrary, that the boat guarantee of their happiness Is tho happiness of all .'(Con* 
tinued cheering,> Allow mo In conclusion* and In apologising for bud English 
(laughter and cheers), fa toll you that Lt will be tor my countryinou a 
a most happy and delightful day when a visit—a very desired visit of English¬ 
men to Paris* will afford the Pm-lidaris an opportunity of expesalng* better than 
I con do by vain words, tho feelings of gratitude and of sympathy which 
they entertain for till ^England, particularly for the City of London,* (Great 
cheering.)

TEE THEATRES, 


MUSIC, 

M* JULLIEN^S PROMENADE CONCERTS* 

The scene at the opening concert at Drury-lane ThoaEra, cm the 3rd Instant, 
lias formed the topic of universal convqraatloiL Tho oldest play-goers do not 
recollect such* similar display of loyal excitement to at the eaccudon of tho 
National Anthem. It was not merely the assemblage of the regular orchestra, 
with an additional phalanx of tour military hands* the whofa surmounted by a 
colossal drum—it was net simply tho emission oi round from In&truuients and 
voices of the com blued band of two hundred executants, but it wjw the co-ope¬ 
ration Of Uid ajttoinblud tliousands In ilio theatre, heart and soul* In tbo cause 
which rendered this performance of "God save tho Queen " such a remark able 
event. Upwards of five thousand persons were pocked almost upon each other in 
the interior. From the upper gallery to the very rear of t ho theatre* fitted u p to a 
reading-room, where the Chlucre toshSoua and the Illustrations of the World m the 
lLLTJi>Tn ated Losdoh Nxws might be seen* there was ono continuous atnl dense 
mass of spectators* who seemed divided into waving black linea, like the swell 
of the ocean. Tbo undulating movement of the pitltea on the platform had the 
moat curious effect. That there worn factious flghte amongst such A multitude* 
may be concluded; but the dispositions tor order had been excellent, and the 
police did their doty firmly* but temperately, although* In the minority of in 
stances, the audience adopted a summary Lynch law, after their own fashion, 
a little rough room times* but bestowed with much good-humonr. 

The during tho first part were trifling, compared with the seus&- 

tJoms experienced when the bunds executed tho anthem. The cries ef “ Hats 
off! ” were followed by an exhibition of a series of sptonfadic. and quivering 
hate at the ends of sticks from Hie piiltea ; wdiilst the women waved hand^ 
kerchieft, bon note* and even shawls, from the boxes and galleries. Three en¬ 
cores were called for, and compiled with* and the bauds retired \ but this wto 
not enough. The nmaeii insisted upon their return ; and for a quarter of an 
hour the an thorn was snog in sections* w|ih au undor-currant of ,l Rule Bri¬ 
tannia.” The mixture of majors and mlrrors^of hoarse cries—of fierce yells 
—of ftended Imitations of animals and birds—or screams and shrieks of laugh¬ 
ter and of rearing—formed a it cnstmblt of Bounds injjxuriblo to afford irny 
notion of; but the u &weot voices 1 ’ of the million at length prevailed* and 
.Tollten. wtlli uplifted brifan, again marshalled bis instrumental forces* and 
again illti the orchestra thunder forth the anthem. Still, this was not enough; 
■ 4 Rule Britannia n wjis demanded, and played. 

The number who did not obtain admittance must have sufficed to hare filled 
other theatres to overflow. JulUcn was received with enthusiasm, tor ho has 
deserved well of the musical amatoura of all almdes of opinion* from the polka 
devoteO to the classical eympbonist; and if bis operatic arrangementa were not 
conducted with Ufa ritill lie lire displayed In hto other ontercafaraetita, there

and repented on Monday and Wednesday- Hi to work wto originally produced 
in Paris, at tho Th&atre da TOpfirn Comlque, on the 28lh af December, IS4T. In 
the Illustrated Lon now News of January 8 of this year was published a 
lengthened notice rod analysis of the opera of “Hayd^e,” but* although the 
Englteh adaptation follows the French version very closely* we must not trust to 
the memory of nnr musical readers, nud shah* Uiorefore, rapidly again refer to 
the dramatic situations and musical Imagery* 

It should be premised, that, prior to the opening of the drama, Loredano, 
a Venetian nobleman* when a mere youth* had been a dissipated prodigal and 
gambler* and, In a moment of desperation, after having lost nil hte fortune, 
had cheated at dkc Ms friend Donate, the AvOgador. In consequence of the fat* 
ter thus losing all his wealth, he committed suicide, leaving a niece, Rafatla, and 
ft son, Andrea, without resources. Tha latter disappears; but Lot'edaw, over¬ 
whelmed: with remorse, adopts Ityaek i as his ward, beciuoaths the fortune ho 
had thus waa at play to the son, Andrfa, whenever he can he found, and then 
rushes remorse-stricken to the wars with the Turks, fa seek death* hut does not 
meet lt; on the contrary* his brave* Intrepid* and skfiful conduct in the Ve¬ 
netian navy ultimately raises him to the rank of Admiral* and h e acquires greater 
and greater riches* ail of which ho is resolved shall eater the Donato fatally— 
first by his own marriage with Rafaeta, not from love* but In order to atone tor 
the loss of her undo. 

Thus stand matters at the rising of the curtain, which displays a rich saloon* 
tho palace of the Governor of Zara* fa Dalmatia* at the period of the action a 
Venetian province. Hero Londam is discovered drinking with his comrades in 
arms, amongst whom is Ifattpieri, or Malgmio, as lie 1$ styled here, a captain of 
bombardiers to the pay of tho Council of Ten, as a spy on their own admiral. A 
proposition Of Jfafpemo tor play discovers the horror of Lortdano at gaming ; and 
an offer on the part of the former to wed Hqf<& eto, and the admiral's refusal, still 
further Increases the animosity of the Venetian spy, who insultingly declines the 
preferred services of uti unknown volunteer, but who, at the intercession 

of ISay&t, to enlisted into the admiral’s ateff. This DuyMt to a Greek rinve, 
failed by Maipmio, and rold by him to Loredam, for whom she soon finds that 
her servitude becomes a pleasure. Mafyenio, ever on the watch to discover Lort- 
ddaoV action^ and the secret of his continued melancholy, overhears him in a fit 
of somnambulism tell the tale of hto own dishonour* In his nocturnal delirium* 
Jtarertwp goes through tho scene of cheating his friend iu enrlyUto*ftadJ/af- 
genio h emblLri to toko from the admiral’s convulsed hands, tha will* avowing 
hto crime * Tills Incident ends the fl mt act. 

In Uie second act wo ore on the dock of the three'toasted ship of-wur of tha 
Venettan admlrtU, who 1ms just defeated Eiie Ottoman fleet. After the victory, 
/Jomeniw, a devoted sailor nod attendant Of Eorscfajwi, proposes to play for a 
cask of ram token from the enemy* but the admiral again intervenes, ta show 
bis detestadou of gambling. Mdigmia then malignantly taunte*Ztfr«to»4 with 
the motives for tho hatred, and menaces him with exposure if ha wild not con sc at 
to the union with hi a ward, Rttfatla, and give to him tho command or a ship 
taken by the volunteer* AnOrfa. lortdano'i moral courago for the atonement 
fa not subdued by this terrible throat: he learns with delight that Andria Is the 
sou of hfa friend Donato, and ut once, fa the presence of the assembled crow* 
assigns to him the corn maud of tho Turkish ship. In this act the loves of Andrfa 
and Jiafatla are made known, and ttaydit's hopes are rafaed that the Union be¬ 
tween Aoredano and hfa ward may thus he prevented. Tho entrance of the 
Admiral’s ship In triumph Into tho port of Venice terminated tho aeronfi act. 

The third act is fall of IntereMt and excitement. Ilaydit fa discovered to be 
of tho Royal Cyprian blood, tor whom n large ransom has been offered* but who 
fa tat free by Londanv, raised to tho dignity of Doge by tho Senate. Malymio, 
still menacing tho admiral with tho exposure of the fatal writing, is Induced by 
IJapitee to resign it into her hands, but only on tlio condition of her union with 
him- Lwtdano, w ho wfta about to commit suicide, H In despair at fate sacrifice; 
but, fortunately tor the happy tMmuewmH of thu story* An«Ma* who had been 
i trail ted by MaDjenio ln the first act, provokes and kill* the spy In * duel 5 and 
t he first act of tbo new Doge fa to pardon J ndrfa, an dualling was then punched 
with death In Vcnleo; and thus tho obstacles to tho union between Andria and 
Rafwln, and LwtAano and Maydk, are removed, 

Tills opera has been mounted with great carfl and splendour, and in the rn- 
mnhle is effective i but to those who witnessed Its performance at Puri* it Is not 
likely to bu over-gratifying* A passage in our farmer notice (see IllustbaTeu 
London News of January 8) will explain the reason. We then remarked, 
11 Auborfa 1 Hftyd^e’ fa certainly n magnllleont production ; In no opera has ho 
developed the charm and grace of exquisite orchestration In a higher degree; 
his airs are haunting, and hi* concerted pieces broad and effective. But Scribe* 
the author, has committed one fault* which may, perhapu* prevent * Haydite* 
from being heard eveiywhore. Hs haa treated such a difficult part fat the Ad¬ 
miral, Lhiit we do not think iherc fa any artist in Europe who would attempt it 
after Roger* The latter* in addition to tho charm of hfa voice ns a tenor, coni' 
blue* the qualities of a grout tragedian. Lortdana is a part for a Macready or a 
Phelps. It is stated that Jultten Intends to give J Hnydde ’ at Drurytiano 
This seems Impustible without altering tire character of the Adrofraf. The in¬ 
terest; uf tiic opera an a drama in cantered In him * and if tlio urtfat who Is tlio 
representative bo not Up to the mark* the piece must Inevitably fail." 

We bopo we shaU prove to be had prophets* but most assuredly tho ^oratotio 
of Reeve* affords no guarantee tor tho permanent popularity of M Eaydte.” Ho 
lisi never been aeon or beard to lass advantage* although hero and tiioro Isis fine 
voice redeemed the coldness mid ptififfleM style of hie acting. But ou a set-off, 
there fa the lullllunl triumph of Miss Lueombo to record. Albeit her first ap¬ 
pearance on Utiy Htegu* this charming %ocaiiitt* to popular formerly In tho con- 
cert-rootu, disp layed so simple earnest ness and marked into] Ugenco fa her acting* 
as well as the most accomplii*lit4 ochool of vocalisation, that abo fairly absorbed 
tlio Interest Of tlio representation* and may* perhaps, ensure the succau of tho 
opera. Mfas Lucomhc’n figure fa toe slight* and her organ of scarcely sufficient 
volume and power, to state thnt nature has been bountiful in gifts to her* What 
qualities site ptunsosteS she owes to fn tel fact and cultivation; but we recollect no 
English aiiiger who bos ever approached her in finished execution of florid pua- 
togost. Sbo m ay be csdlcd the Dorns Graa of the English stage, only that abe has

with IMalgenio (Sir. Whitworth) and Lorcdtmo, Hffhn teat act: toth tho tatter am 
full of ilmnrntliC powar. t t _ _ * 

Reeved h» anteeconteblta In the qnatuor In Uio first act, besides Ms grand 
seen a of somnambulism* in which there is a doUetoua barcarole* ** Oh S how the 
balmy night.” In the roncerttid manic of the second act he boa much to do* 
buftklCH a duo mith Whitworth. In the passage, “It Is to thee* a fine bunrt of 
patriotic arrtmir* Mf. Reeve h was oiForect. The totnatiM, "farewell. then.city 
of my fathers,” was too coldly delivered. conMdorinjj it is descriptive of Lore- 
dams despair jnat prior to his purposed suicide, Mr. Herbert?, who htv+ tho 
animated air. “ Alt£ kt me rove*” the sukM of which is sung by Loniar&in 
the second act* and who ought to have sung the gent of tho opera, a barcarole* 
*■ Glide along, good birque7' completely tilled* Travers or Darker ought to 
have sustained the part. , ± . 

One of tho loveliest melodies inthe opera is the air of Ha fate, “By ties of 
blood united." Tho them a Is tho oboe bit in the beginning of tho overture* 
which contains* also, tho subject of tho finale of the second net. The ballad* 
« With that voice who*) breathing” is another elegant melody, bnt it was a 
little too high in tho latter portion for Whitworth, whose rich boss notes told well 
in the concerted pieces* , 

It would have been, perhaps, bcttoi' to have curtailed the dialogue considera¬ 
bly, and converted It into recitative. It Is true that at the Opera Comtque there 
was speaking, bnt tho French actors delivered Scribe's rapid and natural dia¬ 
logue with point and emphasis. Who would have recognised. In CorrTs coldly 
correct speaking of Domenico, the hearty* frank* bluff, and jovial sailor of IU- 
qufer, an artiste who always keeps an audience in good-humour ? 

SchIra, the conductor* bus Improved considerably upon the reading of the first 
night* but there is roam for greater Improvement attll. He hurries the time too 
much, and the delicate instrumentation of An her ta not sufficiently developed* 
whilst the fortes are too strong. . . ** 

Tho mounting, under the able superintendence of Mr. El Ur, is admirable: the 
scone of the deck of tlie ship of war is alone worth seeing; and tho Incident of 
Andrea's nomination by Zoredano to the command Of a ship* lias been selected 
by our Artist for 111 nitration, , , .. . . 

On Tuesday night MdlJe. Niaten, tho “Swedish Flute.” mado her debut in 
tforma, Mrs. Donald Kin# also appearing for the first time as Addtyita* Both 
artists rniulo decided hits; the enthusiasm of the audteuco was* In M,un~ 
hounded* Mdllo* Nissan's antecedents have been auspicious. Like Jenny Lind* 
she is a native af Stockholm ; und the two Swedish ftlngerii were at the same time 
pupils, In Faria, of Marniel Garcia, tha brother of 3fallbran and Vlardot, and ono 
of the. most fumed singing masters of modem times, who has given to the world 
a most valuable work on the art of vocalisation, Mdllo* Nissan rondo her dCbut 
in the French capital* some years since* as Adatgisa. In " Norma." Her subse¬ 
quent career luu been chiefly in St. Pateraburgh and In Italy. In Rome, her 
jYohmi* Lucia > and JSonnambala were much admired, She has been heard la 
this country only us a concert singer prfor to Tuesday. Her figure is 
Blight* but Abo is exceedingly easy ami graceful; and* if her face be not hand¬ 
some* when lighted, up It is full of a qifted aohl. Her opening recitative was in¬ 
telligently but not commandingly given. The holding note at Its termination 
was well HTi tulned. The andanto of tho cavatina, “Casta Diva” (Gentle God¬ 
dess), was given in a very delicate subdued style ; but her use of the ebromatio 
bcbJo and Of tJio Shake proved that she was a singer of no ordinary stamp, and 
it was mi cored. She declined the compliment ; and In the cabaletta, "Ahi 
bollo k mo retorno" (To Norma s arms returning), poured forth a torrent of 
florid cadences very brilliantly, in acme of her ornaments resorting to the totto 
row with the most artistic*! finish. She thus, In the first scene, stamped her- 
»df us a most accomplished vocalist, and the impression was increased In her 
first duo with Adalgita, " Sola furtiva." In the terr-etto, ,f Oil [ dl qual eel,” she 
delivered the passage, “ Tremble,” with groat effect* and was encored with fer¬ 
vour. 

I t was here that the audience were enabled to draw their conclusions as to 
Mdllo. Nison's histrionic and vocal attributes for the part of iFcrmo, and. com¬ 
parisons apart—for that there la but one Jforma it is useless to remark—the 
verdict was favourable for the tUbutante. Her voice Is certainly not of the 
finest order of organa* It is very weak tn the medium notes, and not particu¬ 
larly rich In the lower portion of the register* and her upper notes are at times 
thin ; but there Is such marked intelligence in all &ho sings* snch exquisite 
tact in the management of her powers, and such passionate earnestness* that it U 
Impossible not to he Interested $ and she has always a moment whan she will 
provuko enthusiasm. 

In the second act, tha duo* " Ah 1 con t&* M with Adalqisa, produced quite ft 
furore. The finale* " 51 fino air uro T (** Yes, we together will live was de¬ 
manded twice and thrice, hut the artistes bowed their thanks on tho third occa¬ 
sion* This duo brings us to tho Adolglsa of Mm. Donald King* the wife of the 
tetter of that name* who made her dfbtU at the Surrey Theatre* under Mr, Bunn's 
management. By many amatours, and wo of tfio number. It was thought 
that Mm* Ring's triumph was even greater than that of the Forma. Thhs re¬ 
sult waa owing not so much to tha nci entitle acqnlrementi of the English singer 
by the side of the Swedish vocalist* but to the possession of one of the sweetest 
and moat sympathetic mexsto soprano voices we have ever heard. So oily and so 
unctuous were the tones, that the audience frequently broke forth In cheers of 
admiration os she was warbling her sweet strains. 

After M die. Nlssen had been thrice Teealled at tho foil of the curtain, Era. 
Donald King received a similar compliment, a proof that although Arfu'pfsa is 
not in the last scone* her memory was uppermost In the minds of the auditory. 
Mr, Harrison was the PoOi0 y and Mr. Bomml Qroueso. The latter sang with 
feeling and energy; and the former character was sustained In a man tier to show 
how tha lined voice may be destroyed by a vicious style. The choral and 
orchestral executants demand & word or praise* and the i mine use advantage 
of Royal Italian Opera schooling and resource*! was dearly proved* 

The director has reason to be aatlsfled with his week's successes ; three such 
artistes as Mdllo. Nlftson* Miss Lncombe, and Mrs. Donald King are an honour to 
any lyric establishment. " Lucia," with Mdlk. Nis&eu and Sim Reeves, Is an¬ 
nounced for next week. Mendelsitihn’s "tValpnrgls Night," «ntl Schlm's new 
opera of" Kenilworth*" am to be produced forthwith, this is the right policy; 
novel ty should bo tho order of the day* and then no Invidious comparisons can 

bo drawn. - 

HAYMARKET. 

Mr. and Mrs, diaries Kean returned to this theatre on Monday evening, after 
a.o extended provincial tour* throughout which they have every where been 
greeted with the warmest approbation. They may now be cou Aide red m perma¬ 
nent members of tha etock company at the Haymarket* rather thun “stars." 
Wo cannot too highly commend tills position. The throwing up of certain 
namc4 In the bills in larger letters than those of tho general company has 
always depreciated the value of the general psrfommnoes ni a theatre ; and* by 
abolishing thii practice, we expect that the lessee will find a profitable result. 
Mr- ami Mrs. Kean reappeared In tha evar-wolcome " Wife's Sec ret," and, as 
usual* excited the liveliest enthusiasm. Wo have so frequently noticed their 
performance In this clover play, that further criticism is superfluous, j Sir fFaffer 
and Lady Evelyn arc, to our thinking, thslr beat characters. 

MARYLEBONE* 

A very smart little piece* called "Which is the King." brought out here on 
Monday evening* gives Miss VIliars a capital opportunity of sustaining tho part 
of Henry IV. (of France) with great spirit and effect. It ta admirably mounted* 
played throughout with general excellence* end, as & matter of course, entirety 
successful- " Boor Jack " hoe been revived for Mr. T, F. Cooke* who flnhhes his 
engatgEmerit tills evening; and In the one-act drama of " The Miser's 
Daughter*” Miss Fmnnv Vining and Mr. Roo play the characters formerly enacted 
by Hiss Kilen Tree and Mr. Forren* with ah effect and truthfulness that leaves 
them above all fear of comparison. The limmes have been excellent* net only in 
regard to numbers;, but the quality of the visitors, 

SADLER'S WELLS, 

The production of “Richelieu" hag proved, a* wo expected* ft molt satisfactory 
stop on tha part of the management of this theatre. There are several reasons 
for this* First th& elder cbmeter Isadmlrably suited to Mr. Phelps; secondly, 
tho whole working company of Sadler's Well* Is brought lute play most 
effectively* In tho cast; and* lastly, the drama, for such wo may cult it* la In tho 
high oat degree interesting* und likely* above very many others* to command the 
preaenctj and attention of a general audience. Since Mr®. Warner threw np the 
reins of management, Sad ter 'a Wells may be regarded an the chief "legitimate'* 
stronghold umongat thy metropolitan theatres—a position it would never have 
gained but for the untiring exertions and keen Judgment of Mr. Phelps. What¬ 
ever la undertaken there, we may rsat coufldcm Of seeing done well, whether It 
he a character In the hands ol tho lessee himself* or of the humblest performer, 
who only gives ft message* in the company- 

STRAND. 

Tho popular ballad of u Jeannette and Jeannot” has afforded a subject for a 
little musical pieco of the same name brought out hero on Monday, the heroine 
being parsonated by Miss Rebecca Isaacs, and the hero by Mr. H. Webb. Tha 
piece Itself La the me rent trifle, but Is a very good vehicle for tho three well- 
known fl Songs of a Conscript "“One of which has had a more extended ban d- 
organ popularity, which is, an or alt, the aim of most composers- than any other 
Bong in Into times* apart from an opera. Thc.sc are very effectively given by 
Mias Isaacs ftiui Mr, Webb; the y&hhg Italy getting a hearty encore. We think

In the act of progression. All works of the auddlc Ages were, a hundred years

sculptors, or architecture could be worthy of imitation* or even of notice, wide 
did not belong to tho days of the classical Greeks and Romans, or to a date since 
the 14 revival'* of the 16 th century * Our forefathers carried this fading to such an 
extent, that, as it is wad known, the *■ restoration 1 * of an indent Gothic edifice,

been discovered, in these medieval mo* 
numonts, beauties which were then 
misunderstood and unappreciated; and 
the stylo which they have handed down

JRKO&tE CO#F££9R3 BIS REPUBLICANISM TO BIS 


JEROME PATUROT 

IN SEARCH OF THE BEST BEPUBEIC. 

translated anb abridged from the thskck, 

BY JULIETTA BAUER 

[Evert one acquainted with modem French literature has read and 
enjoyed the “Adventures of Jerome Faturot in Search of a Social 
Position f and admired the quiet satire, the gentle yet genial wit, 
and the amusing delineations of character in which it abounds. 
The success of that work, and of a sequel to it published before the 
fall of Louis Philippe, have induced the author, M, Bey baud, 
to exhibit his favourite hero in the new circumstances of the Be vo¬ 
lution. The risk was great, that the world would ^row weary even 
of M. Pattirot* that choice specimen of the Parisian, and of the 
charming and pigvante Malvina, bis wife. Continuations and sup¬ 
plements of this kind are proverbially disappointing to the reader 
and prejudicial to the fame of a writer. The critical public a re 
always prone to accuse of poverty of invention the author who in* 
troduccs the same character, however racy and original he may bo, 
into a second work. But M. Eeybaud was nothing daunted by 
the failure of other authors in this respect. Jerome Faturot had 
been the medium for exposing the vice® of French society under 
the Monarchy of Louis Philippe and his functionaries; and he was 
equally available for laying bare, in the same effective and quiet 
way, the vices, the follies, the pretensions, and the absurdities of the 
Bcptiblicsns, whether of the red or the tricolor standard, whether 
of the 11 eve’* or of " the day after. 1 * The result has been the ex¬ 
hibition of Jerome in the guise of a hunter for place under the 
new regime of Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity i a result which has 
shown that M. Bey baud judged his readers correctly, and that he 
was fully conscious of his owu powers of amusing them. In this 
new work, M. and Madame Faturot have acquired a new lease of 
popularity. In their names M Reybaud has told the present Go¬ 
vernment of the French Republic some truths which it would have 
been unsafe for real and more serious personages to have uttered. 
As the licensed court fools in olden times spoke truths unharmed 
and even complimented, which it might have cost the unprivileged 
their heads even to have hinted at, so Jerome Faturot speaks of the 
men who either made the Revolution or have since figured in it, 
with a severity greater than that which cost M. Emile do Girardm 
Ms personal liberty and the suppression of his journal Indepen¬ 
dently, moreover, of its merits as a political satire of contemporary 
events, the work has higher attractions a& a faithful picture of 
modem manners in France. We have, therefore, thought that a 
translation of it would prove acceptable to our readers at a time 
when the social habits and condition of the French and the cha¬ 
racters of the men who, either in the front or secondary rank, rule the 
destinies of that nation, are of so much importance to Europe and 
the world. We have judged, moreover, that, illustrated by the ad¬ 
mirable pencil of Gavurui—an artist thoroughJ y at home on the Htb* 
work would be additionally acceptable to the English pub¬

excrescence, scarcely worthy of the infancy of art. It seemed to me that I 
could cully combine someth in £ less Incomprehensible and more har¬ 
monious. This thought inspired me. 1 fblt the pride of Prometheus In Ui

with brightness a dark civilisation F No part could be more Attractive ; and 
after It any other ambition would have seemed little- 
This was my starting poitiM from It I could proceed to a terrestrial para¬ 
dise of my taste and my invention. Who has not, in these times, formed his 
little clvsium P Who has not In his hand a better composed world than the one 
in which we have the weakness to live—a society purer than ours oflmper¬ 
fect men ? My ideas oo this point were of vast range. With the simplest effort 
I had succeeded In making of the earth a garden, and of each mortal a visitor 
from celestial spheres. But tills was only the beginning, and was capable of a 
thousand improvements As spur and example, I had before mo the masters in 
this branch, who reform the universe in fifteen volumes t and, before exposing 
myself to the applause of the people, I would he second to them In nothing, 
neither in depth nor extent. 

This work occupied me In my retirement. I drew from it a deeper hatred of 
the poll Lies of the time, and a more positive contempt of the littleness uacd by 


these ephemeral r&jimct, In my hours of enthusiasm, when I had added a new 
chapter to the destinies of the world, I could not And words violent enough 
ttilnetthe social laws which Intervened between ms and the future. I writ 
them all to Jericho, civilisation and government, and in such, berms that my

“ And Pur Children i what will become of them ?" 

** Men I" I added, with a pathos worthy of antiquity. 

Our discussions were frequently renewed, and my enthusiasm was at lost 
obliged to compromise with this vulgar prudence. None of the sacrifices I hod 
made to the peace of my family coat mo » much m this, and I frequently trans- 
grassed by unforeseen outbursts. My wife was bewildered; she could not un¬ 
derstand me. Whence came these recent sudden outburatu of Independenco? 
To what could she attribute these infractions of deep-rooted habit ? Malvina 
could not resolve the problem. In vain she endeavoured to read my thoughts.

Before the executioner's axe I should have done it without hesitation; before 
Malvina I could not refrain from a slight alarm. But duly had the upper hand; 
my answer was peremptory- " I hope I anj. Madame Faturot,” I said firmly. 

Now* when the Republic counts Its adherents by millions, and when now ones 
are formed all over the world, such a confession seems neither rash nor singular. 
But at the time when this decisive confession passed my Ups it was not so. In 
the calm province where we dwelt all agreed that a Republican was a being 
possessed Of mischievous qualities and. criminal taste*. This was the opinion, 
and Malvina could not but share it. Therefore, at this formal declaration she 
had hut one feeling, that of stupor, T expected an explosion, a scene, but I was 
relieved, She merely Joined her hand* In an expressive gesture, and, raising 
her eyo to Heaven as if to call upon it to witness my madness, 

“A Republican IT she exclaimed, 11 a Republican | a man who eats at the (able 
of the Government l Is It possible ? '* 

Tli on she left the r om with a significant shrug of the shoulders. What would 
it have been had she known the whole extent ef my revolt If abe had known 
that I nut only went with the Republic, but before it—that I looked upon It less as 
an end then as a means—ami rhuE my thoughts wore most bent upon a social re¬ 
generation? The Republic, for the Republic's sake? Oh! HO. One might os well 
say art for art's sake. The steps to the temple are not tine sanctuary, 
r feared that this sudden declaration of my principles might cause some do¬ 
mestic storms; as a true believer* I was ready to submit to them* but I wu not 
put to the trial. Malvina accrued even to forego all opportunities for recriiriog 
to the subject; and when the course of events introduced ft, she turned the con¬ 
versation with marvellous skill, I was awaiting my martyrdom, hot It did not 
come. She evidently treated ms as one treats an invalid. At the some time she 
was on the defensive* and took all necessary precautions. The least slip might 
compromise me; and my wife, who did not share my creed, remembered only that 
she hod two children to bring up. This ignoble feeling ruled her conduct. 

Among the parsons who came to the house there were two fro® whose scruples 
It was necessary to conceal ray political rashness. One was my principal* the 
second my clerk. My superior belonged to the school of the Empire. He was 
straight ax a rush and lusty as m oak. His clothes were of that scrupulous 
neatness which is the ornament of old men. His linen was us bright as a glass, 
his beard fresh* his dress faultless. Added to this* gallant manners, ami the 
fondness* like a moth, of burning himself at all the bright eyes of the town. 
My wife had fathomed him at their first meeting; she laid her nets, and the old 
lion foil into them. Once token* she cut hia claws; that is the Old tele On this 
side, therefore* we enjoyed perfect; security. The thunder might threaten—we 
were sheltered. 

The intimacy of toy subordinate was more dangerous. Ho was In the same 
office, and I* therefore, constantly under hla surveillance * Malvina tried to cap¬ 
tivate him ; bat he v« of a refractory, cunning nature. He could forgive hie 
superiors nothing- He saw in them ail obstacle to his advancement, and a 
living witness to his dependence. This feeling caused a threatening hatred* 
veiled by apparent sutmiarion, I had an enemy and a spy about mo. In vain 
did Malvina redouble her favours, she could not tame this rebel; the lion had 
been vanquished* the bear did not give way. 

From the first, my dork had surmised the tempests which raged within me 
and my unconquerable hatred of the reigning institution- It was a weapon 
against me, and ho seized It. His tactics consisted In leading me on to a poli¬ 
tical discussion. I tried to escape; ho knew how to force mo: sincerely or 
ralgncdly, ho professed for monarchy a boundless admiration* which put ms be¬ 
side myself* and drew involuntary protestations from me. To him the™ was 
nothing more beautiful thou this rfjpnte, the object of my hatred and contempt. 
It was perfection on earth. Corruption, abuse of power, prostitution of con¬ 
science* he excused all for the sake of order, the basis of society. All means 
seemed to him good* provided this object wax attained. 

It may bo imagined what feelings suck a topic excited in me. In the eager¬ 
ness of my conviction I spared nothing, neither Ktug nor minister*. Indig¬ 
nation silenced tho voice of the commonest prudence within me. The 
danger was groat, Malvina felt it* anil tried to annul It. As sho could 
neither charm nor disarm the venomous animal, site sought to prevent the effects 
of hla bite. The more I had to fear from my subordinate, tho more she influ¬ 
enced tho mind of my superior* and Insinuated herself into his good graces. 
Thus wc lived on; 1 destroying tny portion* she repairing It. Sometimes she 
became impatient and upbraided me. But I kept up ; and Heaven knows what 
exertions I made to keep intact my Republican faith among these household storms

CHAPTER I* 

THE TWO COMMIBSAIITS. 

Kt political fortunes had boon entirely destroyed* and I was reduced to a very 
1 1 limbic Government situation In the provinces. I be'on g d to teat cIom of 
erroJroA *hn look down upon the Government, and I wu* enraged at being 
obliged tn serve It? 1 could hot* wltn- at blushing, think nfthe badge I wore, and 
Of che salary which we* Inflicted upon me. I hod not w.irda harsh enough fur 
a power ba**d on gross appetite*; and the mure I accepted from It, the more I 
defied it to corrupt me. Under the influence of this feeling* my oppo-ltlon 
dully Increased. New grief, were added to tho old ones, and* by justifying 
my sugar, only sharpened Thu*, by an Invincible attraction, 1 was sepa¬ 
rated first from the m-n. then from the system, then from the forma of the 
Government. Monarchy was yet standing* apparently invincible; reigning* 
by favour, over an enervated bnurpoiite, when* In my eyes, It was already con¬ 
demned and tost, without a chance of safety. I ignored the hour of its foil* 
but X doubted not that the finger of fate had marked it la the book of eg«. 

Thu force of events hurried me on. To the wrongs of Government I soon had 
lo add those of society* 1 began to doubt whether this world, with Its Lmper¬ 
fection! and contrasts* satisfactorily filled the purposes of Providence. Look¬

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS 


[Not. 11, 1848. 


Tbft noise of events came to our calm uud retired province only as a fcabto 
echo. We certainly heard of the laborious campaign where the pUy of forlw 
was minute d wltli thu charms of eloquence; tout, except myself, no one saw in 
it a serious danger for tlie monarchy. One may Judge* then, of the astuntali- 
meat manifested In our town when the news, at nm viiguo, but gradually mom 
precl!i*t arrived* announcing stop by stop a change of ministry* on abdication, a 
regency, and, at last* n Republic I No one knew whence came these details, 
but tlwy see mod to linat In tbo aJr—tlicy were spread from street to street, from 
house to house, with electric speed. The cafts were fitted with questioner* \ 
tlifl high-road wus covered by a restless nnd an scions crowd. A thousand con¬ 
tradictory opinions were expressed in these groups, la one place everything 
was confirmed* Inanotiier denied. Hany persons had questioned the prefect; 
ho was Impenetrable, 

This anxiety was prolonged for two days; we did not know what bo hope or to 
fear; the hews wa* confirmed and dented twenty times a day. The appearance 
of the town was changed* At flrsi, the inhabitants felt merely curiosity; later, It 
was agitation. Matters were in this state when u speedy diversion cut short ah 
stormy debates. The cracking of a whip wan beard, a port-cIuUse traversed the 
town, and drove towards the hotel of the prefecture. Two tricolour flags oriift- 
men ted the doom, and formed u demonstration which It wasJihpMaftyft to mis un¬ 
derstand. The crowd hastened after 1% and I Allowed. The prefect wiw standing 
on the Step ready to do the honours of the official residence to his successor, His 
hearing was calm and digit! fled, hi* eye fl run and even rather scornful* The post- 
chaise stepped, and a men of middle ago descended from It, wearuiK a 
td'oolooml scart. This jicarf bore in its folds a change of dovermnont; the 
prefect felt It and bowed before It. With a resigned gesture, he prepared to In¬ 
troduce Ills unexpected guest Into the official residence, when another voice at¬ 
tracted hia attention and that of the crowd assembled round the h&teL A second 
post-chaise arrived* dogged as the first one was. The homes, put to their iitmori 
speed, soon brought It to Its destination; and from it descended a second person 
with tho three colour*, as tall and thin as the ether was short and stout. All 
this hod taken place so rapidly that the two soffit mat on tlio steps and ascoudeti 
them together, the one on the right* the other on the left side. 

The prefect was In astonishment. On each side was offered him a paper to 
which was attached the familiar sea]. Whom could he believe ? Jie verified the 
orders; they were of the same tenor* of the same dole; the names only were 
different, ife studied thdr physiognomy ; both expressed the amne coniideuco 
and 1.3 lc same good feltih. Since Solomon* no man hod ever bean fu a more em- 
htUTfiSidng position. At lost he aoJd* 

“ Gotitlemuti, it is clear to me that I have only to pack up my things. It will 
bo dona immediately* When I am gone, you will nettle the debate between 
you," 

He was going, when erne of the two persona advanced) and, placing his hand on 
his shoulder, very familiarly said* 

M Cttlran-ejc-profeet ” 

The displaced functionary was not accustomed to this language; be winced; 
his interlocutor returned to the charge* 

" Otlzou-ex-prefect*" ho said, “ do not bo alarmed at this accident. All will 
be arranged* There are only two Commissaries for one,” 

** A'i yon say, dr," replied the prefect, coldly, 

11 Never mind," replied tho Ambossador-Extraordliiary; the evil is not so 
great. Postillion, don't nnharness. And you, citlxcu colleague,^ be added, 
turning to the first arrival, **do not fear; keep tills deportment. I have four 
more in reserve/' 

'* Mum thanks,'* said the chnbby-fac&d Cflumiisaary, 

■* And now," continued the thin one, *' let us think of the interests of the 

country.” 

Then addressing the crowd which filled the avenues of the prefecture, i+ Citi¬ 
zens,” he said, "the Republic has triumphed ; it has been solemnly proclaimed 
in Paris. 1 Fire Jo R&publitiue F ’* 

This cry touched mo to the heart; I could not hear It without feeling a sudden 
giddiness. The dream of my life whs realised ; mf idol breathed—the breath of 
the jnKJpie had animated It, 1 hastened towards tho step to assist tho Republican 
magistrate* and, if necessary, to defend him. Useless seal! J came too late;

Tut TaiAMOULAB &CBV*T oi London 'TtiU last piftes of scaffold m g, built 
for the purpose of enabling the Suppers and Miners to make a trigonometrical 
survey of the metropolis and surrounding counties, was removed* at tho close of 
last week, from tho gallery immediately above the dome* and In the coarse of 
the day carried away. Although the scaffold was only up three months* the ob¬ 
servations taken were between three and font thousand, In which were included 
every division in the degree. In many instances the flame object was gone over 
as many as six times—none less than three or four. Tho utmost distance ob¬ 
tained was twenty-six miles in tin circle* with the exception of the north'west 
point; here Hlghgate-hlU impeded the observations* the crown of the hill being 
higher than the level from which the observations wert taken. With this single 
exception no difficulties presented themselves; mid the survey, and the various 
altitudes obtained are of the most satisfactory description. In the language of the 
parties engaged, tho metropolis nnd the surrounding counties may be considered 
nearlv a level plain. Although below it wus repeatedly mtety, tho Atmosphere 
was exceedingly clear above* which enabled the Sappers and Minors repeatedly 
to obtain tho utmost limit of their surrey. Tho extreme neight of the scaffold¬ 
ing from the base to the crown upon which the observatory was built was 91 feet* 
and took between a fortnight and three weeks In raising, As tho whole wo* 
bound together with ropes* about one ton and a half was used for tho purpose. 
It may be gratifying to know that. III this perilous undertaking, not the slightest 
accident—not even to the breaking of a single pane of gloss—occurred* while 
only some of the comers of Ihe planks were chipped off during the removal. 
The most dangerous part of the work was the fixing of the poles which supported 
the cradle, Immediately beneath the principal dome. Than extended beyond 
the gallery 35 feet, and great skill and caution were requisite In fixing, m well 
as In removing thorn ; for, had the slightest slip occurred* no power could have 
prevented them from falling through lute the church. The number of persons em¬ 
ployed wan ten. It maybe interesting to know that the time which they occu¬ 
pied in going np was seven minutes* while from tear to five minutes were occu¬ 
pied la the descent. Some of the persona had to go up and down three or four 
times a day. During the period the scaffold wa* Tip the Usd-work of the tipper 
dome was repaired. The expense of the survey b very small, as the materials 
were supplied by the Commissioners of Woods and Foicate. 

Thra SEnnsTiKi;,—The Lon c«f suggests a very practicable plan for converting 
the Serpentine water In Hyde Park from a nuisance Into a really ornamental 
and useful basin” How is tills Aageim ditch to be cleansed of Its accumulated 
abominations? Either by carting tJism away, or by covering them over. If 
the fifty acres of putrescent mud were at once exposed to the contact of the air 
and the Influence iff tho imn* and If all these latent seeds of Infection were stirred 
up by the carting of It away* no doubt tho neighbourhood would be decimated 
by fevor, If not by cholera. We, therefore, reject this plan, and prapOM that 
forthwith the water should gradually bo drained otf, to allow the mw of mud 
to subside In the deepest portions of the bed of tho Jterpentinc. This mo^of 
mud should then be covered over with gravel or concrete* or both; so that* 
Instead! uf being 40 feet deep* as it la now in certain portions* the Serpentine 
should be but I St feet deep In the centre* and oo level led as to become leas and 
less deep toward a the ah urea. Thb» should be done during the following montii&; 
and in the early spring it would tie necessary ut cover two-thirds off thin levelled 
surface with a coat ofroucrete bIx inches thick- Wo Any twci*tiiirds* because 
many parti have u good gravelly bottom, and need not be meddled with* Tho 
time ihufl employed would lUiiifcraUfle all imxloii» gasae.* mid thte coat of con crate 
would abo prevent the growth of those rnsmsea of Woods which corrupt the water 
by Their decay, and have often proved fatal te the bat tier* At any future period 
the cleaning of Urn Serpentina would be merely sweeping in bed of concrete. 
These improvements might bo made at no great cCtt; fer gravel le to he found 
on cither &Ute of the Serpentine, and the excavation thus mudu could he soon 
filled up with rabbiah. On the whole southern hank tho depth of water should 
not exceed four leoc, oven at AQ feet from tlio shore ; that In future parent* 
may there at least allow their children to bathe or tkgtte without anxiety; and 
namereux watenuarka announcing the depth of r ater should beconapicuously 
planted on the banka. If aomethitig similar wore don* to a portion of the Bays' 
water extremity iff the Serpentine, it would afT^rd to the IfihahitiUlto a conve¬

Dun I so the Oflrly part of the week tho several doily papers had their columns

possible effect in a politic*] point of view Is* at a moment like tho present* para¬ 
mount to any other consideration. With ecu fusion prevailing over the whole 
continent of Europe, It L*essential that not an hour should be lest In making

critical portion, of liar domestic policy, and the tfifficidties which threaten her

brethren* by Informing them that these Sweeps are simply the contrivances of 
patriotic IndividauU to furnish the middle datura with n refuge from compe¬

Peterborough* Louth, Lincoln, and Great Grimsby* A special train took Mr* llondet, the engineer. The visitors'went over the works, inspected 
tire Mayor and Corporation, and a number of the gentry of Boston to the coder* dam, &e., and returned to dinner at Boston at four o'clock* 


Upwards of 400 sat down to a sumptuous banquet in the Theatre, 
which was boarded over to a level with the stage, and tastefully de¬ 
corated. Besides tho guests, there was a gallery full of the fair sex 
Mr. John Noble, the Mayor of Boston, occupied the chair, supported by 
the Bight Hon. the Earl of Yarborough, Hon. Octavius Dimcombe, Sir 
James Duke (the new Lord Mayor of London), Lieutenant-Colonel 
Colquhoun, Mr. Denison, M.P* (chairman of the Great Northern), Mr.

and Great Grimsby, Mr. Fowler, C.E,, Messra. Mowatt, Bury, Betts* 
Chaplin, Ellison, Parker, Nurae, and other officers and directors of the 
Great Northern. 

The customary loyal toasts were followed by “ Prosperity to the 
Great Northern and East Lincolnshire Railways," and the day concluded 
with a ball in the Assembly-rooms* 

The portion of the Great Northern Railway recently opened is remark* 
able in passing through the artificiaUy-dnutied district known as the 
Fens, being principally below the level of high water at sen, and pro¬ 
bably the richest and most productive land in the kingdom. 

The works of the line present few striking features to the eye of the 
traveller, though posseting considerable Interest to the engineer. Tire 
principal of them are the bridges which carry the line acres’, the va¬ 
rious rivers, both natural and artificial, which aerve a a outlets for the 
drainage upon which the district depends: the chief are those over 
the rivers Welland and Witham* and the artificial rivers known os the 
Forty Foot, Redstone Goit, Vereatte, South Drove, &c.; the largest 
and most remarkable of them bring that over the Witham, at HoreJey 
Deeps, near Bardney, which consists of one span of one hundred feet* 
and three smaller ones, of thirty feet each, and is in connexion with, 
and forms the middle portion of, a viaduct, about three-quarters of* mile 
in length* (See the Engraving on the front page of our Journal for 
Get 28.) The material of this, and most of the rest of these bridges, is 
timber \ but, in one or two cases, as in the bridge over the river Witham, 
at Boston, and Yernatts, near Spalding, the line is carried by cast-iron 
girders on timber piers* 

Great excellence has been aimed at in the construction of what is 
technically called the permanent way ; which consists of the rails, 
chairs, and sleepers, and the ballast in which these last are imbedded ; 
this point, on which the comfort and safety of tho passengers, and 
economy of the stock of engines and carriages, materially depend, has 
been moat sedulously attended to. 

The station buildings appear small; they are, however, suitable and 
picturesque in appearance j and very little recourse lias been had, in 
their construction, to any of the more costly kinds of material or work- 
manshift. 

The line has been executed by Mr. Joseph CubUt; ant! the works 
have been under the immediate charge of his assistant-engineers, 
George Sherrard, of Tutterrimll ; Mr* Brydoue, of Spalding } and Mr,

and as private individuals do, for the errors of his predecessor®. 
With an excellent system of National Education, which should be 
the boast of n free people, the educated Prussians were denied all 
participation in the management of their own affairs. Educated 
in arts, sciences, and philosophy, the Prussians were not allowed to 
educate themselves in polities, but were promised, at some remote 
period, the advantages of a constitutional form of Government. 
That promise was often made by the late King, but always de¬ 
ferred, until even fifteen or twenty years ago the stolidity of 
the Prussians, in submitting to bo tantalised and mocked without 
a murmur of complaint or remonstrance, became a by-word in 
Europe. At last the present King ascended the throne. Ha re¬ 
membered the broken promises of his father, and gave the Prus¬ 
sians a Constitution. But though the promise was kept in appear¬ 
ance, the Constitution was so exceedingly small a one—the rights 
affirmed in the people were bo trifling—the system Was so mere a 
shadow of Constitutionalism, as the world was acquainted with it in 
England and in France—that the Prussians could not see enough to 
bo grateful for, and gave the King no thanks for his tardy and in¬ 
effective condescension. Nevertheless, had his lot been cast in 
less troublous times, the Constitution given by the King might 
have proved his wisdom, and provided the means for the gradual 
extension of those civil and political privileges which bo educated 
a people as the Prussians would have peaceably secured for them¬ 
selves as necessity arose. But the French Revolution acting upon 
the minds of the Prussians—the idea of German unity acting upon 
the mind both of King and people—throw them both off the safe 
track. The people demanded their freedom by a speedier process; 
and the King, fired with a sudden ambition, endeavoured to turn 
to the account both of Prussia and himself the great German 
movement that was in progress. Both are now suffering from the 
error they committed- Ttta people are involved in a violent revo¬ 
lution; and the King, whose necessity it is to combat it, is embarked

THE PRUSSIAN REVOLUTION. 

Tub three Revolutions of 1848 ore miming their course, Every¬ 
day either presents u new spectacle or a new actor in these great 
commotions ; and, before we have had time even to be astonished 
at the magnitude of one event, in its immediate or in its prospective 
consequences, another occurs to throw it into the shade, and to 
monopolise our attention. Franco haa proclaimed her Constitution 
amid a popular indifference, as great within her own boundaries 
as beyond them. Yet, although every one feels that the present 
Constitution is a mere nullity, having no one's love, we know that 
it wilt depend upon the next move in the mighty game whether a 
Bonaparte shall attempt to supersede it by a military despotism, 
or whether a Cavaignac, or some newer name, shall, by taking the 
** Mountain’ 1 for his adviser, bring about the “ Social and Demo¬ 
cratic Republic,” and so strangle the new-born liberty of 1848 
by another process. 

But, all-important as the events 
of Pari# have been, they have 
recently been dwarfed, in metfs 
imaginations, by the more ex¬ 
citing drama of Vienna. A 
week ago the eyes of all Europe 
were directed upon that city. 

They watched the waning au¬ 
thority of the Emperor restored 
at the price of the partial de¬ 
struction, and perhaps the total 
alienation, of his ancient capi¬ 
tal* and men of all shades of 
political opinion speculated with 
painful anxiety on the posi¬ 
tion into which victory on 
the one hand, or defeat on 


the other, would lead his advisers. But no sooner has the victory 
been gained, than attention, fixed too long for these stirring times 
upon that one city, is called elsewhere to a course of events oven 
more important—to the struggles between a King and his Par¬ 
liament ; to tho resistance of the one, and to the encroachment 
of tho other ; far more momentous, both in their progress and 
their result, than the more vulgar conflicts of mobs and armies 
in the streets, and far more significant of tho actual progress of 
constitutional liberty. 

The state of Prussia is indeed precarious and peculiar. The 
question to bo solved at Berlin has the merit of simplicity. It ia 
not embarrassed, aa in Austria, with considerations of race, lan¬ 
guage, or popular animosities of one district or province against tho 
other. It is purely the elementary principle of a form of govern¬ 
ment, stripped of all extraneous circumstances, which is in debate. 
Its simplicity lends it grandeur. People who cannot disentangle the 
maze of Austrian or German politics generally, see what is meant 
in Prussia, and in this country especially, concentrate their attention 
upon events in Berlin—often with condemnation of the popular 
party, sometimes with sympathy, hut always with a strong convic¬ 
tion that, for good or for evil, & mighty Revolution has been com¬ 
menced, only to be compared to the great French Revolution of 17 89 
in its consequences, near or remote, upon the general fortunes of 
humanity. 

The King of Prussia is evidently a well meaning man—as ami¬ 
able as Charles L or Louis XYI. ( but of more ability than either. 
Of a generous disposition, of a cultivated mind, of a courage to 
dare great things, and of a sagacity which, in ordinary times, would 
have Tendered him illustrious amongst tho Sovereigns of the earth, 
ho has been placed in circumstances which have rendered aH his 
fine qualities either of no account, or positively prejudicial to him. 
He Is the victim of a procrastination which was not his own; and 
suffers, in his own person, os other Kings in past and present times,

in the conflict irith n reputation damaged by the taint of hie indi¬ 
vidual ambition—with tne consciousness, moreover, that he aimed 
at rrreat things and toiled in them, and that the prestige of success 
does not envelope him* 

Hitherto the Prussian revolution has marched rapidly. A Na¬ 
tional or Constituent Assembly, with the entire concurrence of 
the King and under his authority, has been called together to Jorm 
a Constitution worthy of an intelligent nation that lias determined 
to bo free, and that is at the same time rjuite satisfied with a 
Monarchical form of Government under the actual dynasty. Such 
were the relative positions of the Prench people and their Monarch 
from 1789 to 1792, with tills additional item of similarity between the 
French in these years and the Prussians in 1849, that the financial 
difficulties of each country rendered the Monarch more disposed than 
he might otherwise have been, to look for aid from the representatives 
of the people. The inarch of events has been marvellously similar both 
in the good and in the evil. Thu King has been dedaretl to role 
not hy the grace or God, but by the will of the people ; the pn* 
vileges and titles of the nobility have been abolished * agriculture 
has been freed from the exactions and oppressions of the proprie¬ 
torial class ; all the ancient landmarks of society have been thrown 
down 5 ail the intermediates between the two poles of the political 
system, the mob and the chief magistrate, have been removed; and 
the kingly power has been invaded from day to day, until it has 
became evident to the whole of the Conservative body in Prussia, 
and to the King himself, that the Assembly lias entered U P^J 
policy inconsistent with a Monarchical form of Government. The 
King has therefore determined to show vigour in support of the 
authority still left to him, and to cheek the course of a revolution 
that threatens to involve Prussia in anarchy. But, unluckily, like 
the original grant of the Constitution, the stop has been taken 
somewhat too late to be efficacious. The latest intelligence shows 
us the two great principles of the revolution and the reaction in 
open conflict—the King and the army on one ride, the Assembly 
and the people on the other. Great faults have been committed by 
both, and both will hare to expiate them. The appointment of the 
Brandenburg Ministry, which was the unhappy cause of the pre¬ 
sent dilemma of the Prussian Monarchy, was no doubt an inju¬ 
dicious, but it was by no means an unconstitutional step. The As¬ 
sembly, in remonstrating against that appointment, and in fact 
threatening the King with the responsibility if he called such and 
such Ministers to Ida councils, was guilty of an unconstitutional 
act. Its course was to allow the Ministry to be appointed, and 
then in the usual way to vote it out again. The Assembly was too 
impatient for this, and not only outraged the King as a King, hut 
us a gentleman, in the position it assumed towards him. Hav¬ 
ing taken that false step, neither King nor Assembly hag been able 
to recede. The King, under tho pretext—and it is evidently not 
an assumed one—that the deliberations of the Assembly at Berlin 
arc not free, but that they are under the influence of an anarchical 
mob, has resorted to the bold course of removing the scene of its 
deliberations from Berlin to Brandenburg, and prorogued it in the 
meantime. The Assembly has refused either to separate or to re¬ 
move. It urges that the King has no power; that it was called to¬ 
gether by the will of the King and the nation to perform a certain 
task—flic drawing up of a Constitution ; and that, until that task 
be accomplished, the King has no power over it p either to prorogue 
or to dissolve. This was, of itself; a perilous position for both 
parties': perilous to the Assembly, lest the army should turn it out 
by main force, and the revolution be arrested by a €wp<Tmi; 
and perilous to the Monarch, lest, in directing bis army against the 
representatives of the people, the nation should not support him. 
There was. however, no possibility of recoding. The Burgher 
Guard of Berlin was first of all called upon to prevent the meeting 
of the Assembly. The Burgher Guard unanimously refused. It 
undertook to proseve order in the metropolis, hut it would not act 
against the Assembly, The troops were then ordered to interfere ; 
and General Wraugel marched at the head of his dragoons, 
cleared the Assembly, and, like Oliver Cromwell and Napoleon 
before him, put the key in bis pocket The Assembly has ad¬ 
journed to a new place of meeting, the li Schutaen-Haus”—the 
Jen dr Pmwne of the German Revo! at ton ; the Burgher Guard 
has been dissolved; Berlin him been declared in a state of 
siege, and is in the full possession of the military. The Assembly, 
nothing daunted, has appointed a commission of sixteen to 
draw up a full report of all that has occurred, that an authentic 
statement may be distributed to the country; another com¬ 
mission of eight is to report upon the expediency of impeaching 
the Ministers for high treason ; and, if the Crown persist in its 
resolution, of stopping the supplies. 

These are great events. It is impossible to overrate their im¬ 
portance. If the populace of Berlin were a quiet and orderly 
population—if they trusted to the innate strength of Ideas, and not 
to the brutal force of their arms, it would be safe to predict that 
the Assembly would ultimately come out as victor front this unfor¬ 
tunate strife, anil that Frederick William would have to add one 
more fault or indiscretion to the many which, with the best inten¬ 
tions, and the most generous feeling, he has committed. The pro¬ 
bability is, however, that the public peace of the capital will not 
be maintained ; that the people will take the battle out of the 
Assembly Into the streets, and be summarily defeated. The King 
of Prtiastairill then have bruatinng-time to took about him. His 
coup ttdint will answer its purpose, and the final issue will be ad¬ 
journed. Wo trust most fervently that the course of events will 
uot prejudice his cause. Without him, Prussia would bo the prey 
of anarchy, or of any during adventurer that, after years of sor¬ 
row and bloodshed, should vault into his throne. With him, and 
under his constitutional rule, Prussia hm her sole ehaucc of hap¬ 
piness and freedom ._

You will, or course, expect to receive some account of t ho Fete do la Consti¬

tho measures which the now Prime Mini#ter, Count Brandenburg, the King's 
natural brother, has been nwh enough to have advised, or at least enabled* fcu 
Majest y to adopt. 

On the 9th instant, tho following constitution of the Ministry having tojen an¬ 
nounced, viz. Count Brandenburg, President of the Council; Von Ladcuborg, 
Education j General Mayor Von Strotho, War; and Von fManteuffcJ, Interior » 
Count Briuidcnbnrg assuming also tiio Ministry of Foreign Afihlrs, ad interim r

“ We* Frederick Williuni T by thu grace of God King of Prussia* Ate—After

pendent on measures wlilch are calculated to restore, in a legal manner■ tlie 
Oitier and peace of tlie cap]tat. Therefore, wc are Induced to transfer the seat 
of tire Assembly, convoked for the framing of tha Constitution, from Berlin to 
Brandenburg, and have commissioned our Ministry of State to lake tho neces¬ 
sary pnoJlimitary measures with all speed, to that tire sitting shall, after the 
27th of this month, bo held in ourdiy of Brandenburg; until that day* the 
Assembly convoked for the framing of the Constitution to hereby prorogues!* 
Therefore, hy these presents, we call upon that Assembly forthwith to break up 
the deliberation, and to assemble together for the continuation of tlie same, on 
on the 27th of this month, at Brandenburg.

Hwerod these protests by saying that tliey were of no avail, and then quitted the 
Assembly. As soon u-s the tumult had somewhat subsided, the President 
(Unrah) roue, and declared that be woe not justified In proroguing the Chamber 
without having Itnrt consulted the house, and he tbereforo put the question of 
whether the house would or would not consent to the prorogation, which wna 
rejected by at least two-thirds of tiio house. The following three resolutions 
were then passed almost unanimously*— 

i. That the Assembly Will CunthiUU Its sittings at Bernu, 

2* That the Assembly cannot bo prorogued, removed, or dissolved by tho 
King i anil 

a. That the Assembly holds those cfflcore who had advise ft tire King to issue

Of their duties towards tho Klugp tire people, and the Aivscrnbly.

Tlio planet Mercury camo In confect with the Sun's cjistom limb at llh. 3in. 
A,u., Greenwich time, at the point marked A, about eastward from hte lowest 
part. A little before noon ho hud passed to R; at I2h. 8m., and 12h. 12m„ he 
occulted, respectively, the macula* numbered J and l L At i vjf. he had ar¬ 
rived at the point Cj uud at 5? v.af. at D, about which time tho nearest approach 
of the centres of the Bun and Planet took place, and tho latter was a few minutes 
piwt tho middle of the transit. During the succeeding hour he passed through 
tho segment between D and E: at 3h. 25m.hu was at the point F; and about 
4 o'clock, just as the Bun w as descending below the opposite hill. Mercury was 
within three minutes of arc (or one-eleventh of his whole diameter) from the 
Sun’s western limb, as shown at G, The Stui would set a few minutes before the 
planet touched his edge; and, consequently, the last contact would be invisible 
in England, except Cornwall. The heliometer, by the eld of which the above dia¬ 
gram wax taken, magnified about BO times T and eye pieces, nith powers of 
^30 and 3fi0, were also tiaed for viewing the planet: with these high powers ha 
presented a sharply defined Jet black circular dire* L0 seconds in diameter, 
and apparently about the sfeu of a shilling, or that of a '*spudc-W guinea. 
ITubxhly there never was ft transit seen under mere favour a hie atmospheric 
candltfons, since the planet was iHutinctly visible from the moment of uppulsc 
till within a minute fir two of the Sun's disappearance below the visible horiion 
of this station to the W.S.W., which la very slightly elevated above the sea- 
level. 

This propitious state of the elements was tlio more welcome as it was wholly 
unlocked for, since large snow-flakes descended throughout tho whole of the 
previima evening, and now cover the ground. Tho temperature, which was low 
for the reason, only varied 11° during the period of the transit. At 11 ajw. the 
thermometer reading waa 32*5and at 3 p.h. It was at 34° 6the maximum for 
the day being ft', The barometer readfeg foercared mere than * inch 
during lho previous night, hut It continued nearly stationary throughout tho 
day at 3d.l34 inches.. The tetnpcmtnro of the dew point varied from 2d 5 to 30* 
being from G° i>' to 4° 5' below that of tho air.

The Communal Council of Vienna has issued a proclamation to the effect that 
during the present distress into which the inhabitants of the dry have been

stated. The Austrian troops, on hearing that smnotrncement, became furioua 
igatoxt the Magyars, and declared that they would giro them no quarter. 

The accounts from Hungary indicate tho approach of a sanguinary straggle. 
The Imperial forces which are marching tinder WlndischgTiitz; against the Mag-

In addition to those, General Buchner is advancing from tho southern pro¬

The Austrian army fa composed of forty-eight regiments of the line—torty- 
three German, GaJllclati. and Italian, and fifteen Hungarian. These regiments

aid twelve ether battalions of chasseurs; the Tyrolese are divided into 
four battalions and twenty Tour com panics, Including IM3G men. 
The garrison battalion* form a total of 6716 men. Thus, In a

battalions, and iaC8 companies, presenting an effective force of 341,963 men

Tire launch and the vtolt to those works form a subject of more than usual in* 
tercst. It was strange to sou in tire works of English engineers, lying side by 
side, two steam-vessels destined for such opposite clinmtea aod uses ■ one going 
to be frozen up for half tire year in Ura ice of Russia—the other to form the 
hunting residence of an Indian prince, in his excursions, under a tropical sun, to 
shoot elephants and tigers, on the rivers of Bengal l Thus do the blessings of 
peace unite tho ends of the earth. Tho works themselves, also, aro an object of 
| interest, a* combining tho modem improvements of science. A railroad con¬

allows tho heavy weights of modem machinery to bo moved about with case and 
economy, A single largo and elegant chimney, rising from the centre of the 
works, serves aa a substitute for a multitude of smaller ones; and, collecting tire 
whole smoko from the various works by underground passages, delivers the pro* 
■ ducts of combustion Into the air at a great height above tire surface. Tho weather 
, waa most favourable far the launch, and too Greenwich steamboats landed visi¬

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS* 


LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18* 1848, 

No circumstance shows more clearly the want of confidence felt 
by the Trench nation in the stability of the Republic, than the strait 
to which it is reduced for want of a befitting candidate For the 
Presidentship. Between General Cavaignnc, who typifies a Re¬ 
public that is odious to the men who made it for not being demo¬ 
cratic enough, nnd to the men who opposed it for being too demo¬ 
cratic, aud M. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, who typifies a dynastic 
interest incompatible with a Republic under any shape at n]L, 
there ia no choice. It must bo either of these two* No other has 
any chance. The canvass has fairly begun. Upon the side of 
General Cavaignac nil the governmental agencies arc at work. 
Prefects and sub'prefects, and the Bishops and inferior clergy, have 
been enlisted into his service. The press, however, bolds aloof* 
The editors of the provincial journals, at a great congress of their 
body summoned for the purpose of debating tha point, have de¬ 
clared against him; and the the organ of M* 

Thiers, has followed their example* The Journal des Dihats, a 
newspaper of great intiucncc, and tho very last to acknowledge the 
Revolution, and which, when it did acknowledge it, did so with a 
very ill grace, has, however, after much trimming and wavering and 
skillful glossing over of its previously recorded opinions, thrown 
itself into the scale in favour of the roan who restored order in 
June, and now supports General Cavaignac with arguments pre¬ 
cisely similar to those employed by the National. On the side of 
if. Bonaparte is ranged that large class of the people 
of the provinces who do not think, and to whom the name 
of Napoleon is a spell to dazzle and to blind. The army takes 
the same view of events, and concentrates its stupid admiration upon 
the hern of Boulogne and Straaburg. The Legitimist party—who 
wore represented at one time as having determined to take no part 
in the contest—have now, it appears, commenced a canvass in 
favour of M. Bonaparte* Some of its leaders, in doing so, have 
avowed opinions by no means complimentary to their candidate. 
They state, with more truth than discretion, that, under General 
Cavaignac, the Republic would have a chance i but that, under 
M* Bonaparte—a man whoso capacity, little ae it is, they under¬ 
rate—the Republic would have none at all; and that, sooner 
or later, the disgust of the nation would prompt a final and sue- 
cessdil effort to cast him off, and establish the Buko of Bordeaux 
in hie place* This, however, is a dangerous gome to play; and we 
should hope the Legitimists, as a body, wifi repudiate such sen¬ 
timents. 

The National Assembly, on its port, does not seem disposed to 
delegate much power to the new President, whomsoever lie may 
happen to be. In consenting to his election before the extent of 
his tunctiona, privileges, aud prerogatives has been defined, it has en¬ 
deavoured to play a game equally as hazardous as that attributed 
to the Legitimists. Tho Committee to whom was confided the 
task of drawing up a report on the powers of the President, has 
laid a proposition before it which is likely, it appears, to be 
adopted, and which will render the nominal chief of the Republic 
the merest doll, or rather shadow, that was ever set up in high 
places. If the President have no more power than the Assembly 
is willing to confide to him, be will be a President but in name 
only 1 the Assembly itself will rule, and he will be the scapegoat 
for ita sins. If be be a man of no energy or ability, he will be 
contemptible hi the estimation of the people ; and his office will be¬ 
come so degraded, that mo man of independence of spirit will think 
it an object of honourable ambition to aspire £0 fill it. If, on the con¬ 
trary, he be a man of genius and decision* a struggle between him aud 
the Assembly will be the inevitable result, in which the bayonets of 
the National Guards or tho troops of the line will sooner or Inter 
be the umpires. We cannot help thinking that a grave error was 
committed when the advice of the venerable Hole was rejected, 
and that tho majority of the Assembly would have acted with more 
wisdom, if they had decreed the powers of the President before in¬ 
volving themselves and the country in the embarrassments of Ms 
election. ^__ 

The intelligence from Austria is of the kind to be expected, after 
such events os those which have taken place at Vienna* Prince 
WimUschgratz shows no mercy* He is a man who has suffered by 
revolutions. The melancholy fate of his wife at Prague—though 
lie may not, to his knowledge, allow its remembrance to act upon 
bis judgment in dealing with the instigators of revolt and mas¬ 
sacre at Vienna—cannot but have some influence upon his cha¬ 
racter, and, consequently, upon his acts. He was firm before he 
took possession of Vienna. lie is severe now that he is its master. 
Meshienliuuser, the commander of the National Guards, has been cap¬ 
tured and shot, Robert Blma, the representative of the city of Leipzig 
at tlieFnmkfoi v Convention, or Central Diet of Germany, and who was 
appointed by the Radical or Republican section of that Assembly 
to proceed to Vienna in the capacity of a 11 sympathiser/* has shored 
the late of Messerihouser, although it is asserted that h* took no 
part whatever in the operations of the insurgents* This execution 
_4f such it is to be termed—wilt open a difficult question with the 
Frankfort Assembly, and will very much tend to the exasperation 
of the Prussians. 

General Count Aucrspcrg, who acted with JeUachieh, under the 
orders of Wmdischgratz, m the operations againat Vienna, has 
resigned ; for what reason is not stated. ‘Wmdisdbgrhtz and Jd-

PULLIC MEiTlN&S. 

A Supply of to TitFr CtTt — V meeting of the Goimnl9«lOii£J‘A of Sowers 
was held cm Tuesday at the Sewera-Gfflee, Guildhall*the Lora Mayor In the chair, 
"to receive a report from the committee of general pnrp^s- In relation to the 
supply of gas to thta city* anti to recommend that the necessary noticoa be given 
nf application to be made to Parliament for the supplying thin city with gas. 11 —^ 
The report was els follows: “We certify that we have mot, and been attended 
by tbe city Solicitor, Who laid before ns a statement which web read to m ; anti 
having eonxldered the plans proposed therein* we recommend to your court, a* 
the only probable tncana of obtaining a redaction to the coat of gas* that 
notices be sit once prepared and advertised u required ; that your court will 
apply to Parliament tor newer* to erect gas-works, and to lay down pipes and 
mains within the city uini liberties, with power to purehuo the works, pipes* 
and mains of the existing gas companies* or of any gas company heater to be 
ctfjibbahea within the limits aforesaid; and as the last day for giving aurti 
notices is the J8th Of November, it Is Imperative that decision thereupon should 
bo como to immediately.”—Thfj city SOlfoltoris statement was abio read. It re¬ 
ferred to the contracts which, thirty years ago, the Chartered Gas Company and 
the City of London Gus Company bad entered Into for the supply of gas tor the 
fitreet-Utfhts of the City of London, the Comndaalonert of Sewers hiving the 
power, under the Gas Acts, to purchase from the companies, at the termination 
Of the contract* tho pipes, branches, and other material, ut a fair valuation* or* 
at their option* to give notice tor their removal, Tlie two companies avoiding 
competition with each other* partitioned out tho city between them, un arrange¬ 
ment whtebjn many respects while edvantiigemistotlte companies, was convenient 
to the citizens. The inhabitants of the city* however, are entitled from their 
situation and tho extent of their consumption to have a cheaper and better gas 
than tho inhabitants of the metropolis scattered over a wider district cun obtain, 
because they may be turned wholesale customers, and are entitled to have tin: 
commodity at a wholesale price. Within tho city of London these two companies 
have derived a rental of upwards of JClfAOOO per annum frou n single set of 
mains not more than list/ miles lit length, the returns thus averaging upwards 
of ^000 per mile; whereas the mains of the Chartered, the Imperial, the Equit¬ 
able, the London, end other companies, traverse mauy hundreds of miles, some¬ 
times two nr three sets of biffins in the xamo streets and roads, without dividing 
amongst thorn half such a rental. Gan wua formerly sold to the consumer at 8s. 
per thousand, hut now It to reduced to Ga.; the prime cost of tho article, allow¬ 
ing tor Interest on capital expanded in erecting, fn the factory, and all 
expenses, and a largo and liberal profit, does not exceed 2a. rid. per 
thousand. Tho moinij of several gas companies touch close upon the 
frontiers of the city in various parts j and if the corporation of Lon¬ 
don, or the Commissioners of Sewers, under tho provisions of the ori¬ 
ginal act, were to purchase the main* and pipes of those cnmpmiiea, 
how In tho ground, at a valuation* they would bo enabled to supply the 
article st a price width would allow of its being sold to tho Inhabitants 
at 4s + per thousand cubic feet—a rate which, after nnikliift an adequate 
allowance for all espeuras, and interest of capital in outlay for pipes, &c., 
would leave a con side ruble halunw in aid of tho sewer a" rate, or to defray the 
cost of sanatory improvements, or any other local improvement* that might be 
deal red. If the existing city com pan fos will reduce their charge to tom r shillings 

S r thousand, there could bo no reason fora change. If a combination should 
i formed amongst the various gas companies to fcfcftt the plan by it-fusing to 
tender, their object would not bo obtained ; tor a person largely interested In gas¬ 
works* and practically acquainted with all the working details of gas manufac¬ 
turing, had offered to supply the whole quantity required, of the vary best qua¬ 
lity, as to purity and IIInminuting pow’CT, at two shillings and aixpenco par thou¬ 
sand cubic foot. Purchasing at this price, the city authorities might dispense 
the gax at four shillings* sad collect the rates through officers of the sewers com¬ 
mission* under the management of tlie conimlsrioiiiOra* who might apply tho 
profit In relief of the rates or other important public objects, tho CommissionerH 
of Soweto and the corporation giving their sanction to the city conaumera to 
form a company to furnish a sufficient capital (j£GO,0OO) to toy down mains and 
pipes, and to contract for tho wholesale supply of the quantity required. The 
motion that the coramtoaton agree with tho report of the committee, and that the 
city solicitor be instructed Immediately to lodge the necessary notices, was car* 
rfed ui iinimeusly. 

ArtKNmreHT ov the Law,—On Korduy, tho first meeting for the season of 
tho Society for Promoting the Amendment nf tho Law toot place at the Society's 
Rooms, in Regent-street: Mr. Seijeant Manning In the chair .-Mr. V, Neale 
brujght to ward, pursuant to notice, Ida motion tor e committee ofinquiiy 
into the law of partnership, more especially as It affected partner* In jolnt-sto^c 
banks. One object ho h:A In proposing the inquiry was to ascertain whether tho 
system of partnership, a* commandite, would be applicable to tho commercial 
transactions of this country. He moved that the question bo refei rod to u com- 
mittoe to be named.—Mr. C. Webster, In seconding the motion, add that bo had 
b ou in several foreign countries In irhich partnerships cn tommmd ite were car¬ 
ried on, and hud always heard that their working was satisfactory. The system 
wra that two or three selected partners were made liable to the whole amount or 
their fortunes to tho liabilities of the concern, and tho remainder only to the 
amo int of tfcelr shares or capital invested. If the principle ware adopted In 
E i-yiittut— #ifl its adoption might be deilr-bie—It would ha necessary to appoint 
official inspectors periodically to examine rhe hooks of the various concerns,— 
Dr. M-Kc Tla bore testimony to the satisfactory manner In which partnerships** 
amtjnc M :t hud orkee in vari o as foreign countries,—Tho C hairman said that the 
’principle was air . w carried out In the mining districts, whore shamholders in 
mines were on ly hub le to the amount of their 8 Imres. The motion was then put ond 
agreed to* Question rufomti to a committee,—Mr. Jame* Stuart proceed to 
read the report of a committee appointed at the last meeting at tho society to 
inquire into the state of the law respecting the confinement of persons alleged 
to be lunatics. The report stated tit at thro® classes of lunatics had. been recog¬ 
nised by legislation, namely paupers, persons doctored lunatics by a commisaton, 
and persons not so declared but confined in private lunatic asylum, With the 
firat two classes lha committee hail not interfered, but hod directed their at too* 
tion entirely to tho third class. It upper,red that the number of lunatics In Lug- 
land and Witics was at the present moment about 30,000, about 3 out of 100 
being lunatics tinder tlie care of the Court of Chancery. The principal set for 
the protection of middle-class lunatics—Unit was to soy, those whoso property did 
not admit of a commission* hut who were confined In private asylums— was.the 
g an d 9 Vic.* c, 10 (J T which prevented the reception of such lunatics In any other 
than licensed houses* The committee thought that that act might bo much im- 
urered, and called attention to two Important points—first, tho liberty of alleged 
lunatics ; and secondly, their property. At present, tha necessary preliminary 
to iteraonal restraint was the eeidflcato of a medical man, which might, under 
particular circumstances, bo corruptly given, and therefore tho committee proposed 
to add on oxiu.il, r tiou by nome person beurfng n J udlcial e harac tqr. ^ iioii pruc- 
t{cable, they recommended tha masters In lunacy, and wheu theso were not avail* 
able Judges of county courts, or magistrates at sessions* Mlthre erenca to property, 
the committee suggested that In uU esses where it was too small an amount to 
hear the expense! of a commission, a case for which at present there was no pro¬ 
vision, It should be vested In an official committee, aud administered for the 
benefit of the lunatic hy the musters in lunacy. The committee hud ascortam cd 
that it might be bo administered at an expense not exceeding 1 per cent. W itli 
re tore n r o to the private asylums, tho ctnumitieo did not recommend their nnnifr- 
dJale abolition* but earnestly advieod stricter Inspection. Ono regulation they 
were most anxious to enforce* namely, a regular system of visitation by the 
clenrv Dr. Connolly had tostltied to Its vast importance, and it might 
be eindly carried out by tha parochial dorgy, If pojTnont ™ rc*

PoxTritointte Institution. —On Monday some experiments on steam pro* 
ptilers were exhibited in the presonco of tho Earl of Aucklarul aud jievcr^ 
officers connected with the steam branch of the naval sen-tea. Hie object in view 
wua to teat tho powers of a new application of the screw. The novelty consiiste 
in placing a propuller under cash quarter, and not, as now. immediately before 
the rudder. Experience aa well t» theory have demonstrated that when the 
scrow-propoller la placed at the stern of the vessel It works ftt a very 
nrtvutiMfiO. Thu vessel wlileh is propelled tw It duplaces tha wtole body of 
water through which H moves, and, consequently, the screw has little or uu re- 
stating medium to work upon* for the water ha* not had time to rush into the 
vacuum created by tho passage of the vessel so as to offer any resistance; and, 
moreover, the current flows with toe ship, and not in acontrary direction; so that 
under those two conditions tho rate achieved by a rcrew-propeller. as now ap¬ 
plied* can never reach the maximum speed which paddle-wheel stcaraera have 
attained. The objections to paddle-wheels are loo well known to require detail 
here. Captain Carpenter* the inventor of thU new applicfllton ef propelling 
power, ta a practical ejcaman, having served many years iu tlie navy, five of 
which ho was in command of tho Qeyser steamer, In the Mediterranean fleet. 
This experimenis on Monday gave great satisfaction, to tho Aiintiralty authorities 
prasont, and particularly elicited the approbation of Mr. Loydd, Mr. Edie, imd 
Captain Ellice, all cf whom are practically connected with the steam depart¬ 
ment of the service. . ^

A decided MI8TAK.B.—On Wednesday ft Ctwtoin-bonso case was dlactiverail 
Which created much merriment In tho City. A merchant had previously entered 
1 00 foreign watches, apparently geld, for payment of duty, valuing them at XhO, 
and at that rate offering to paaa them for duty. The Custom-houso officer*, 
conceiving them In tlieir wisdom to ba much undervalued, took the watches to 
account, and paid this merchant importer the £ 770 * with the toper cent, legally 
exigible and additional in such rase. On Wednesday the watches were* In too 
usual way, put up to auction at too CommorclaLrooins, Mincing-lane, when, for 
the first time, It was diaoovensd that they were of brass, tinselled over with gold, 
and not worth £70. It remains to be seen Whether tho loss in this* as in other 
cases, will bo charged to tlte Treasury* tho profits* when such there are, being 
always taken to account of the customs fond.

IRELAND, 

STATE TRIALS. 

Dn Monday, in the Court of Quean's Bench* Dublin, tho arguments in too writ 
of error brought hy Mr. Martin* lately sentenced to transportation, against toe 
proceeding* on his trial, were opened by Sir Colman O'Logldcn* who ably 
pressed the following points on the attention of the Court i—First, tout the rap’ 
tltm of the indictment was bad* as it did not appear therein when or where too 
Grand Jury which found tho bills Lad been swore , Secondly* that too eotmta 
of too Indictment wore bail, because of uncertainty* tho two lust not setting 
forth tlm printing charge therein. Thirdly* that the challenge to the juror Duff 
was a good challenge i and, fourthly* that the sentence wtu bad, as no penal 
colony or other place of transportation was named therein. Sir Golman was fol¬ 
lowed by Mr. Forriu* for Lite crown. The arguments were pnrely teclinical. 

The dose of Monday's proceedings disclosed another difference between the 
practice of the Courts In Dublin uiul those of Westminster Huh. In England* 
when tho subject complains of the Crown* I Ite subject, like the plaintiff in casca 
between two subjects, tm tho " lost word," or the tight to reply. In Ireland the 
right. It seems, bclouga to tho defendant, the Crown. Tho quest Sou railed forth 
mi animated discussion ta^tv ccn the cnarutel and Judges* the impropriety of the 
Irish practice being apparent even ro some of their Lordships. 

On Tuesday* however, At the sitting of tire Cnurt, tho Loro Chief Justice said * 
—“In the liuccn v. O'Connell, we do not dud it decided tout tlte Attorney* 
OenDral liaa not tilt right of reply. The prariico to this country being to give 
tlio Atiuri scy-General the light of reply* wo will eon form stdl to tout pracllra. 

TJiu arguments were then resumed by Mr. Holmes, Who was followed by the 
Attorney-GenuniHor tite Crowu, 

The Cnurt took time to consider ite judgment. _ .

for a habeas corpus lu the caso of those prisoners, who were accordingly ordered 
to be in court on Friday (yesterday).

that hlft appeurancQ never excited the slightest suspicion. From

Mr. John Dllfon, upon whose head there wM set a reward of £300. and ivhoso 
active jmrtidpatlon In the late rebellion* more especially to the affair at 
Killemiulc, rendered hie capture a matter of grave Imjxirtimeo to tiieGovorn- 
incut. Previous to Ids flight to America lie spent several days to toe town of Gal¬ 
way* habited as a clergy man of the Church of Home, awaiting the departure of 
a vessel hound to New York. One day* however, white qufotiy pemnibulotipg

recognised by a party whoso acquaintance he considered would be more dan- 
reruns than serviceable at ho critical a period. Taking the alarm, he 
took a boat on tho instant* and set soil for the adjacent bdand of Arran, 
where he met shelter and protection at the house of off Old friend. He 
was not many minutes located hero when a war steamer was descried bearing 
down with all speed towards the island. Ail now seemed lost, hut the ingenuity 
of his host interposed, and by a clever n® he Hucceeded In baffling Mb pur- 
suers. Two boats were got ready, manned by crews of the hardy fishermen 
who dwell in those parte—ona a light rowing boat, too other a swift lugger. 
Into the former Dillon jumped, and was towed with all speed towards tha 
steamer; while* according to direction a* the lugger, with oH her amis act* and 
with a highly favourable gale, put out to sea, as if flying before the steamer* 
which immediately gave chase^ucver for unco heeding the boat with its pos^ 
sengcra, w hich passed dose to her bows, and which gained the port of ffelway 
without causing any observation. In two dap afterwards he was on the Atlaa-

Emioratiok,—E migration from Waterford* Cork* and Limerick proceeds 
with vigour. In Dublin the desire to try their fortune, in tho New World has 
very generally seized on the small trading class, and they have and organisation 
for the establishment In America of a colony derived from homo. A number of 
shopkeepers* alarmed by the prospect of tho times And tha little hope of Im¬ 
provement which presents itself, have agreed to emigrate In a body. They hiivo 
purchased a smullterrltory in the district of Wisconsin, and thither they propose 
to proceed, ami found* purh&ps* a city. Each will leave home with a sum of 
,£2000 at least, either in cash or merchandise. The Guild of bricklayers and 
Mosuns of Limerick have appealed, through the public prints, to tha humanity 
of their townsmen for ctmtrlbntitms to a fund they are raising to enable their 
active and unemployed members to emigrate.

HER MAJESTY'S STAG-HOUNDS. 

A MEET AT HILLINGDON. 

With th© festival of All Saints bogtns the season of tba chase: some few esta¬ 
blishments Indeed annonneo their fixtures earlier, but hunting Is not considered 
to be legitimately on the scene till November. This rub applies, whether the 
quarry ba stag, fox, or hare. The period of its termination, however, la less 
definite. Formerly, some masters of hounds need to make It a practice to kill a 
May fox ; harriers continue to hunt later on tiro downs than In the vole; and 
venison la considered Mr gome almost at any time that it may bo mot with 
among the moors of Devon. Bat such is not the relation in which your back is 
regarded by the lowland sportsman. With him it in an animal of chase— but no 
more. The stag-humor goes forth to his sylvan pastime with as little intention 
of killing the deer os of eating the whippers-in. The hurt is the noblest 
wild animal extant in Great Britain* and hence the store set by it in relation to

onr rural sports. Deer-stalking is the privilege of princes, and stag-hnatiug la 
thn aristocracy of the chare—the readers cry of « Oh I ohF and « Has he ever

tigate when hunting the hart was made an item of Royal pomp and circum¬ 
stance, or when Hying the hawk horema obsolete as a custom of courtly recrea¬ 
tion. Perhaps their present position comes of the policy of the times. How 
could the liberal principle which now prevails put up with an Hereditary Grand 
Falconer—unless toe office were a sinecure, which of course alters the case j or

The 'writer once assisted it the enlargement of a hind, at that meet, which, that 
Jm the fawn* heading as for Pall-mall, was, at the end of a sporting run, cap*

something not common to the chase, one of the habitufs mentioned an occasion

“ custom of an afternoon” with a lady fair who hunts with the Queen's, and 
whom we encountered on hour ago cantering her palfrey on the margin of the 
Serpentine. , , , , , 

In days when the wreck of empires is household gossip for the human family* 
Jt may nut bo without a mom) to hint at tbo social life of a colony occupying a 
I It ilc m»ok of tills globe. Of Its commerce and Industry, Its arts and sciences* 
OUT province Is not to speak: why, indeed, should that ho named at nil which Is 
as common an the liberal air ? But Sts boon associations, its commonwealths of 
good-fellowship,haply, are less known: we plead an Ignorance hut now 
enlightened as to the extent and muMNei of its hunting establishments. Thera 
are, at this writing, in England, ono hundred And seventy-three packs of 
tiuituH public aa regards thu days of hunting, and upon to the enjoyment of oil 
clifaScs* This estimate, indeed, is under the number; but It Is given, that no pos- 
siblB rantmdictum may be urged ugnltirt it. Hut three of these*ru stag-hounds, 
thsTMuaimler arc fox-hounds, liarriere, and other hounds. In Devonshire alone 
there are sevsu-iud-twenty packs, wherewith gentle and simple may lake their 
recreations. First in Die goodly throng are the Queen’s. The Earl of Bee- 
boroueh is master; Charles Ihivfa* the most courteous and complete of 
all the chorus of Diana, the huntsman. Their public days me Monday, 
Wednesday, nnd Friday ; besides which they have generally * “bye” 
every week- They aro within m hour of every breakfast table In the 
bills of mortality-enve when transported to that "undiscovered country ,f 
already alluded to. If you desire to see what the “giants or the green¬

tbo phltosoplierfa account: they arc significant, if the trouble be taken to apply 

them. 

The course Is left for a season* and tha cover side furnishes its BUbditute. 
There Is a natural sympathy between racing and hunting—they are especially 
pursuits of the equestrian order. A word for tha Xovtt sCtetfce, There are who 
delight In tying ft canister to a dog’s tall —haud men* Arc tertno. Everybody be*

Iwjtmds In John Warded <toy* them are ten now. Where one man might hunt 
tirnn, fifty may do so now. J tint ways have done much that was not expected of 
tiictn, both In an evil and a good sense. Who ever dreamt that they would re¬

Of hti hope: tbo last accounts from Pekin state that a Deputy of the *Vnrd of 
Fort-joking was at n recent Celestial levee. The less amhitltms may put in a

MUSIC. 


M, JirLLTEN’S CONCERTS. _ 

On Monday night, M. Vivfer, tho fumed iierfonuer on the Imro* made hla flrrt 
appOLirance at Drury-Lane iTieptro. M. Vlvter was in tills country some years 
since, and performed at Dio HatiOfer-BquafU Rooms. His Instrument Is not an 
especial favourite with largo audiences; in a small room* playing a simple me- 
Icnly, or accompanying a singer* it is roUshed; and no artist haa turned it te 
better account in this wxjf Uian Ftiazi. Vivier is, however* an exceptloual 
artist* quite out of the ordinary category of horn-play ere. He has made some 
tllscoverici of now and curious acoustic effects, particularly the existence of low 
notes* iriiich were not conceived to be In the pitch of the heiu, mid In the capa¬ 
bility of emitting tones In harmonised parts. How far those novel lower notes 
can bo employed ns Dm bore of the Harmony In orchestral music In a greater de¬ 
gree than formerly remains to b* shown. Ho played a cantsbllo of nls own 
composition, Intn&ducln^ u codenau* to display ids novelties und his exeentive 
nbilltt'. It was encored with qnthnaiMm; and the applause from the band wm 
very fit rang. To the multitude* his playing has a great attraction ; he produces 
a deltefonti roue, and sings cm hla instrument w;th indescrihnhlechHrtni and 
when ho uhaudons Dre melody to Indulge lu the dexterity of divisions, it Is 
vellous how ne&t and finished are his paiisag^, how tasteful and elegant aro hfe 
cadences. We only regretted that he had net selected somo popular air* the to- 
mlllurlty with whidi would have enabled the public to Appreciate still more wind 
eloquent and aymputhelie tones he could produce from bbj Instrument* and how 
perfect l? his niAuagement of the various gradations of sound, from the strongest 
foiiUtimo to the most delicate . 

M. Vivier enjoy.*s the highestroputetlon ainoogst CoiDiuontal munwhina—many 
of the most dfetingubhed of whom, Ju feet, look up«u him ns lAe rialng composer 
of the day, attributing to him n fertile imagination aa to melody, and a feU- 
eitous Instinct for harmony* How far Die expectations nf mm will lierealiseU, 
we cannot (five any opinion, not baying as yet had the opportunity of hearing 
his works ; but vre might quote eminent immes for the high estimation of Vi- 
vler’s talonfe. It would be singular, indeed, If the futures aymphonfet, opera 
compOHor, and writer of sacred music* os ho may prove to be, should hove bo* 
looted &ncH an instrument as the horn to play upon ; hut hfo countryman* 
Iterllo?,, who is only master of the guitar* has boon equally rcnutikahlc in life mu¬ 
sical eccentricity. „ 

On the pivnie evening* the first movement of Becthoveu’a Grand Sonata m F. 
scored by Nadaud (fuii ably scored}, was played; but what Beethoven wrote as 
a senate, we should prefer to remain bo ; uud them fe no lack of orehesfrai stjh-

ThnftMfey i and, in spito of the strong, and we might almost say somewhat un¬ 
charitable* remarks of our contemporaries upon the subject, wo were pledged to 
observe that tire attendance on Thursday was not inferior to the average of that 
on former occasions. Amongst those who were early In the Hall* we observed 
the Lord and Lady Mayoress. ^ . „ _ _ * 

The elegant decorations with which the hall we» fitted up for Lord Mayorto

THE THEATRES. 

COVENT-GARDEN* 

The manager has resorted to a reduction of prices to attract audiences—th 
ntiuuiimm to now soron ihlilhiff& for a stall, and the minimum one shilling bo 
the gallery j eighteen ponce being taken for the spacious and convenient amphi¬ 
theatre : tiftlf-ft-crown for the pit; and six* five* and four shillings for the public 
boxes. This tariff (preserving the h ulf-prlc® at nine a'd ock) Is low enough in oil 
conscience ; and, whilst it has had the effect of filling the lowcat-priced portions of 
the house si nee t li e change, it has also tended atiti further to dlin Enisli the Attendance 
of amateur** disposed to patron toe the hexes. That the manager was wrong In 
opening tho season with an advance on the ordinary prices of the patent house a 
is proved sufficiently by tire forced abandonment of hfe now tariff. It does not 
strike us that he will Improve his position by going to Dio extrema of low 
prices: no one hui more ably shown the folly of reduced prices than Mr. Bnnp* 
In his hook,« The Stage* both Before in* Behind tho Curtain/’ Wo are at ferno 
with many of our contemporaries on this subject, and wo agree perfectly with 
Mr, Bunn, in tils work, " that your Englishman never regards tho price 
of h!s entrance to a place of anuiaement; and more frequently Dmn other¬ 
wise, thinks tho entertainment must be bud* if he has tittle to pay to see It. 
He goes m seldom* that, when be does go, he will pay anyDdng In reason. A 
concert, as effectively supported la the one place as the other, that they would 
Only give a franc to ace ia Paris, thousands give a guinea* and seldom leaa than 
lio1f*a~gutnca, to be present at in London. That la fashion, nol l(H<f; and jioU 
is with our theatres. Make ft the fashion* by any trickery or stratagem, 
to go to any given theatre, uud people will flock there; while another* re¬ 
plete with talent of tho highest order* shall bo altogether deserted* 
Through n voiy long experience* I have never found* theatrically speaking, 
that the price of toe article at all interfered with the demand for it; the public 
to not to be deterred from going to toe play because the admission to the boxes 
ia 7s., any more than It Is to bo attracted there because the admission is only 5s. 
The Ijuuhty of too maUrM, and net tho price, ta tho thing inquired into. 1 ’ In a 
HUboequem volume Mr. Bunn proves* by returns or receipts, Drat, whilst many 
more people went to the theatre at Dio reduced price, tho treasury wag not too 
gainer. 11 The lowering the price**’ he says, “did not make one proselyte. It 
only induced seme who, at tho former prko* came bat once, now to come twice s 
and the property was therefore minus In respectability utid Ineeme.'* 

Mr. Buun’jj argument* have been proved over and over again* and wo regret 
that ho did not confine his changes to tho restoration of the usual playhouse 
prices. It must he recorded in life favour Diet no change ka& boon made In the 
entertainment.

The announcement of« Twelfth Night*” with tho boat east at present aval lable* 
at this rh&atre, on Saturday* was cortafe to attract a good house j and, accord¬ 
ingly, ono of the felteat audiencus of Die season hfthorto assembled on the aecr- 
Hlan. The parts wore thus distributed: Matvotio, Mr. Webster; 5c*awifon, Mr.

dr<w Aipucti&k. Mr. Keoley * too Clwm* Mr. Wigan; AniOmo, Mr- Rogera; Olivia 
Miss Reynolds ; Maria, Mrs. lluiuby: and Viola, Mrs. Charles Kean* With finch 
a cast It Is almost needle** to state tom tho performance was in every respect 
most admirable. Mrs. Charles Kean has made toe part of Fio/a, at the present 
dey, en tirel y her own * We have no Other actress who can so delicately interpret 
this charming character, and bring out its beauties with such graceful yet Idling 
effect: no one who can ao completely win the sympathies Of her audience or 
draw down encli hearty applause hy a mere apt expression of feature or inflex¬ 
ion of tone. Next to her, Mr. Keetey was the greet lion of the evening, and 
was its inimitable in hfe assumption of dreary fceble-mindedncas im of drunken 
would-be Jollity. We question whether Sir Andrew? A&fcfadt lias ever been 
better pi eyed. He won excellently seconded by Mr. Tilbury', w hose real j ovldlty 
came forth hi pleasaut contrast Mr. Webster 1 * Mtfvotio was* os may bo ex¬ 
pected, u clever and thoughtful piece of acting; aud toe other perfonuera were 
ail most effective in tholr various parts. We iiuvc emce chanced to hear modi 
di sc Hasten on toe merits of air, Wigan 1 * Clottn, not merely amongst bid play¬ 
goers* but from Ihc journals—one party steutiy maintaining that the Cfoum 
was never meant to bo absolutely merry* find toe ether deciding that the dry 
quaintuess hitherto infused into the character wo* merely traditionary. Wo 
rather incline to the opinion of an able con temporary critic* that “ the clown Is 
an open character*" and may bo played according to the Judgment of the actor* 
At aft events, Mr. Wigan is entitled to great praise, whatever the result may 
have tifion, for departing from conventional] [y ami traditional observance: such 
a step always deserves commendation, Misa Koynolds’s and Mrs. Humby’a 

M(tria t wore each* in tbelr way* particularly good. Nothing could Wceed the 
applause ftt the end qf toe performance, which continued until Mrs. Kean hod 
appeared to acknowledge toe compliment of the audience- She was again called 
for at tho conclusion of 11 The Ransom,” to which effective dram* she pfayed her 
original character of jPavHnt. 

HUNCKSfl’S 

On Thursday night BlckerstAffs opera of ” Lovo in n Village 1 ’ was represented 
with a strong cast. Miss Julia Harland being Dm Ro&tta; Mlsa Emma Stanley*

cock, Mr. G. Cooke; 1 r oung JfrarWi, Mr, Allen; Hodge, Mr. Oxbenry; and Hmt- 
ifm-a, Mr, Charles Bratouft. Tho opera, or mtocr operatic aomedy, went off 
with tho greatest spirit. Charles Bralmin'a singing of the sportsman Haw¬ 
thorn will add materially to hts reputation; ho was encored with rapture to 
the songs* “ ’Oiei e was a jolly miller,” “ My dog and my gun, T5 H Wa all love a 
prai ly girl muter the rose," fee. Hfa voice struck ub ne being more and more like 
that of Ids father in quality*—possessing toedfatfagufeblng clmrecteristlcs also of 
tbe grout tenor's style, oxcollout decfaniatfon* dfetinet euunclation, aud vigorous 
kortumcRio, or power of swelling and dimluiahlng the tones. Mr. Alien and Misa 
Harlaud were encored in their duo in the second act, 11 For ever let us part.” 
The powerful acting of Ottberry to Hodge la worthy of notice. The manager is 
very active in hi» exertions* aud he has now a very powerful operatic company* 

The burletm of *’ Midas," wito Miss Poole 1 * adutirnble acting and singing of 
Apoflo * haa been a great auccess. She Is nightly encored twice to “pray Goody,” 
which she slugs charmingly. —— 

ADELFHL 

An outrageously broad farce* which It would have bMn very dangerous to 
have p laved any where else, was produced at this house on Monday evening* 
called ” CriL?her and Smasher: or, The British Lion. ” Tho fen arises frcini Dm 
perpltotitles to which the heroes, who are two arrant cowunla, And themselves 
eonsi&ntiv Involved through Dielr nssumptian or courage; and It is eufftelent to 
state that they are respectively played by Mr. Wright and Mr. Paul Bedford* for 
the reader to Imagine tho peats of laughter which greet their eccentric!ties. Wo 
suspect the farce io be an adaptation of a French piece called "Les Poltrons/* 
To use an Irish Urn, It begins wito Its end; that in to aay* one of tho characters la 
supposed to be delivering the M tag ” after tho odd stylo— 1 ’ And it now only 
mains tor these kind friends," when the characters not being settled on cer¬ 
tain points, begin oil over again. This bit of dramatic fun, however, was 
scarcely understood by the general audience. At Die same time they roared at 
Die farce* aft the way through, and applauded loudly at Dio conclusion* tho¬ 
roughly establishing Ita success. It is, we believe* by Mr. Maddlson Morton, the 
anther of M Bos and Cox, 11 Mr. Brough's burlesque is annomiqed for Monday

LITERATURE. 

Tbi Theasbit of Na uhal Hts toar; or* A PorutAn Drorio^AaT of Ani¬ 
mated Natie t. By Samuel AUuwDWt. LOAbmati ard Co. 

This work, the fifth uf the author r a “Treasuries," b of a class peculiarly fitted 
for the requirement* of the present a^c, In which, if tiicsre are no Royal roads, 
there are at I«aat railways, to ocfentlfie information. Tiio vaac impulse which 
the study has received in the present century has extended its delights to emy 
claw of the people, wim Imve found mrch to unlearn upon tho subject, a* well 
as more to luiim from the spirit of dbcovery which bad characterised Ehb at¬ 
tractive branch of science. 'the recently revived question of the existence of tho 
Sea-Serpent affords a reni^rkablQ advance of the public mind since this subj ct 
was last agitated: we refer especially to the suggestion as to the monste * being 
a Saurian H the larger animal* of which order had been but very imperfectly 
Illustrated when the £ :u-5t .-pent controversy was last agitated. 

Mr.Maunder'B present vo i oe Is, in every way, calculated to aid tlio popular 
advancement In tho knowledge of the itfiloglcjd characteristics of tlio Animal 
Kingdom. The work Is n ost laboriously com piled, with sfuflltient attention to 
scientific: ilerills tu preserve the distinctions of claases, gent ra, and species; and 
enough of the habits, in^tincto, and general economy, to render it as entertain¬ 
ing as a book of anecdote. Of the latter, indeed, it Is a rare rinrehouBe—as full 
as tho tall of a lobster. Tho arrangement b alphabetical, wlti out any of the 
cyclopnsdlun mysdfieillon of reference. Thore is, also* a classified Ihl as, which 
Is the lj emus of supplying the neeeasuiry systematic Informi tlou ; and to the 
vrink is added a syllabus Of practical Tiixldexmy, ard a Cfe. UJ Appendix of 
morn than forty pages. T1i* [Uustratlons are 900 wood-cuts, en graved wl Eh accu¬ 
racy and delicate finish* Altogether, this is a tic: Ugh hit I boot; the reputation of 
the author Isa guarantee for Its conscientious compilation ■ and it deserve# to 
become aa popular as either of the author's former works. 

Tur Boat and tes Cauayan : a Family Torn Tnaoecg Egypt and 5m a 
S econd Edition. Bogus. 

Upon tho first appearance of tills work, about two years since, we were much 
stuck with the life-1 Ike reality ofifamulri Incidents* In spite nf tiro Artificial enu- 
meter of Ite framework—that of a fin ! ly travelling In quest of health and re¬ 
creation. That we did not record these impressions by way of review was a mere 
rout rid.*, for which wo are now anxious to make amends, for the book has 
rea^y pecnlbur claims upon onr attention. 

Tho * l Foru’V Tour" was performed, aa Its title Implies, M by boat and cara¬ 
van j 1 " the travelfe u being the author (Mr. Dalton) and bia wife, their eon and 
daughter, and a female attendant. The patty has not been made up for the book; 
and that they are flesh-ami-blood, not paste-und-scissors tourists, the reader may 
ra*t assured. In the preface we are told that the author lias endeavoured to 
adhare scrupulously to tha truth, and has described nothing that did not really 
come under hla own notice. This Is coupled w ith regret that he could not refer 
to the works of previous travellers—a circrmte ice wh’ch adds to the assurance 
of originality; and it would bo well If every boo': of travels cjwoo hacked with 
such high recommendation. 

The Journey, wo need l nrdly tell tho render, lies through tho land of (to 
Bible, Hm cq tho adscript io*is nrc tinged with so einn association, and llltia- 
trtttedhy frequent reference to sacred autijocte. Yet this is done so unobtru¬ 
sively, or to invito even the lightest reader to become bettor acquainted, by 
tu cans of Nila book, with, the localities of Scripture, There is up Lbourod Iden¬ 
tification of sites wbh passages; but, on the contrary* a free ere,rise of judg¬ 
ment upon sash mittens which Is the beat charuutorM Lc of the entire work. In¬ 
deed, on this account, seme of the rc dowers of the first edition «f tho work 
have charged its author with dropping a little aceptfoinm into his notices of 
upote in the Holy Land. His defence is worth quoting, fur Ilia amount of sound 
sense it displays:— 

" While he haa neither expressed, nor felt, a doubt of any plain statement 
contained in the Bible, lie has considered himself at perfect liberty to erera-tse 
his own judgment on points fn which ne religious truth is concerned* and whore 
the only evidence Ln their favour Is gathered from the traditions of the Greek 
and Roman churches. In some Instances, these traditions are plain!/ in oppo¬ 
sition to Scripture, Such, for example, as^that part of Piloted house still 
exists at Jerusalem, although our Saviour foretold that not one atone of tho city 
should ho left above another; that tho church which crowns the summit of tire 
Mount of Olives covers tho spot from which our Saviour ascended, although the 
Evangelist Luke expressly says that It was at Bethany that ho parted with hU 
disciples and was carried up to heaven i and that tlie Mount of Precipitation Is 
a high promontory two miles distant from Nazareth, although wo read that it 
was from the ‘trow of a bill on which the city was built" that tho enraged H*- 
sarenes relight to cast down their Lord. In many respects* it would hate bean 
more agreeable to have gone over tho ground with unquestioning credulity ; 
but tho author thinks that belief of whet Is true la strengthened and cor finned 
by a careful rejection of all that la false N 
Meanwhile, our Traders must not ftppptitia there to be any unbecoming levity 
In the " Family Tour \ n on the contrary, there is unswerving veneration fer 
sacred objects, and respect for well-pounded opinion. The narrative is cheer¬ 
ful and healthy throughout; prejudices are combated, and errors exposed with 
good humou c, whilst tho rallies of credulity ore let down gently. I t 1* easy to per¬ 
ceive that tho writer is a nhrowd yet benevolent mar—se lorn upon solemn sub¬ 
jects, and humourous upon lighter ones, with a keen pcreepdou of weak points, 
and the best intention of contrtbn tog something acceptable to Ida reader, both 
by way of informatiuu and improvement. 

The rente of tho tourists is by steam-bort from Naples In Haifa. Hera they 
attended divine sen 're at U e beauUfel cl ireli orcc ed by tho munificent: Queen 
Adelaide. From Malta, the J<un»e * is by tho Oriental steamer to Alexandria. 
Tho party then hire a boat, 27io /fwts, an^. tlie scene changes to the Nile, visiting 
tho mig hty a* tic j^rian wonders of Egj'pt in tl eir route. A stay at Cairo, the 
journey through the Desert, and risita to Jerusalem, Nas*rath, Bcyibot, Damas¬ 
cus, Bflalbc.’, &c. p ara all very agreeably described. The I r dents nei er flagi ajul 
though occasionally minute and femiilar, they are enfer 'dnlu^. We quote a 
few passages tu specimens of the staple of the work \— 
mcmiMKT AU, 

« We have more lhan once mentio icd the proprietors of land In Egypt, but, 
Btrlctly spiking, there Is but oue, and that is the all-powerful and aU-engrossing 
Mehcmct AU. By a late edict, he has appropriated the whole land to hfrnwlf, so 
that Egypt is now as much Dio property of Its ruler os it became after the great 
famine In the time of Joseph. Tlio people have not, however, been tamed out 
of their possessions, except where it has pleased tho Pasha to take tho land under 
hla own care. In that case, the Folkh Is noi permitted t{) eeek ftCtrafl ot t, flr reiji . 
deuce, but must remain as u labeu ev In the Pasho's servlco. Mciretjci ah is 
not content, as PhAaoh was, with a flfUrof the producoi h& takes the lion's 
share. If a Fellah lets any portion of tho land which ho Is permitted to retain, 
ho will get, it may be, teventy plasters re it for a portion equal to an acre, of 
which nearly tw-tbirds fcoos to the Government in taxes. Nothing can exceed 
the apparent poverty of the people. Their dress is mean, their food of tho 
coarsest kind, and their habitations uctomch better than the hovels of the Alex¬ 
andrian suburbs, if a man te .,pes a little monfy to pother,ho carefully conceals 
his wealth, lest ho fihould bei mne a prey to the cupidity of the Pasha's officers; 
he cannot employ it in any profitable way, as tho laws of tho Prophet forbid tho 
lending money o>n usury. Egypt is Indeed tire most fruitful country In tho 
world; but although the condition of the people has in some respects boon ame¬ 
liorated of 3 ate yoiM, yet misgovern man t and oppression are still fio gust, that 
poverty and misery everywhere aim imd.”

“ ‘ A covey of crocodiles 1 was a frequent right Once, as many or sixteen, 
some of them very largo, wore discovered on a bank. It was not often that they

or even alarm, they seek the water, there appears to be no chance of securing 
one, unless it Is wounded in a vital port, and dies immediately, whidi rarely 
happens. Tlio people near the Nile held them in some dread, but assert th-t 
they never at took a man while swimming In deep water, bat watch tho opportu¬

The title of the above work affords a sufficient Indus to its contents; judging

ways exceeds the enormous sum of tm hundred millions ttcrtittg —being one- 
fourth of tho national debt E 11 

Wo gather, from the author's statements, that It io not his desire to lesson 
the value of railway property, but to rouse tho share and debenture holders 
into activity, so os to examine matters fer themselves, and devise snch reme¬ 
dial measures as may be necessary to preaerve thom from further loss ; and ho 
certainly has supplied them. In a cheap form, with much rerlona matter for 
reflection,

This unpretending little work opens with a very sensible address to the

especially point out " A Moonlight Ramble,^ H Stanaaa to Christmas," and tho

This Is a sort of gnlde-book to all who feel, or are taught to feetithat in their

manded by the symptom*, whether Goa-ride excitement, or the quiet of an inland 
residence. This little manual will show them. In plain, Intelligible terms, di¬ 
vested of professional mystery, the best course to pursue under such dreura-

The contents of this volume, in part reprinted from popular periodicals, are un¬ 
questionably, as the author intended tlicm to be, suggestive of ** new timughte, 
new feelings, and new clrcumataiturea,." Tlio prase sketches, too, bear a high 
poetic colour; and there is alike vigour and polish In tire peenu-:. Without 
going the whole extent of tho writer’s " class " vtowa of great social uhanges, wu 
find in them a vary agreeable amount of instructive reading.

Bril guy, Slessra, John and CEiarlos D. Matthews, who carried ou business aa 
bunkers at Chipping Norton and Chipping Cumpdeu, carao up on their last 
examination. Mr. Knight, solicitor,, of Birmingham, who appeared fer tho 
assignees, stated that he offered no appealtion to the bankrupt* poising their 
examination, for, although on the joint estetu there w ould bo found a consider¬ 
able loMp yet on the separate estates there was a large surplus, which would 
enable them to pay from lbs. to Us, fid. in the pound. From tiio boionco-slicct

buty, and that the deposit accounts, which constituted tho bulk of the debts, d*d 
not exceed £20,two.

so far as that he used, language calculated to excite popular disaffection and re- 
ristnnee to lawful authority; and by a majority ef ono find Henry Konkin guilty

ments made between tho English tend Belgian authorities for the more rapid 
transmf^lun of the mails and pjresengers etd Dover and Ostond, to and frani 
Belgium and Germany, eamo Into operation on the 11th. The most striking al¬ 
teration Ih is th e transit between Bnissels and London. The letters were thtn y-

IrendoD to tho Continent the new arrangement is a great improvement, raarticu- 
larly as regards the points beyond Brussels. The malls leave London (as usual)

Important ones. A good deal of time may yet bo saved, and the authorities are 
alive to tho fact; but It h not an easy task to overcome routine and prejudice.

FETE AT BRISTOL'TO CELEBRATE THE REDUCTION OP THE PORT CHARGES. 



PROCESSION 0V THE THAMES AT THE TOP OF 



On Monday kst, Oh? undent city of Bristol was the scene of a great 
Processional Demonstration, and other festivities, In celebration, of the 
passing of the Bock Transfer Act, by which the dues ere considerably 1 
reduced. Throughout nearly the whole exteat of the city, particularly 
along the route marked out for the course of the Procession, Lancers 
and flags, many being appropriate to the occasion, and others bearing 
emblems and devices of a more general character* were suspended 
across the streets and displayed from the windows and roofs of private 
residences, warehouses, and manufactories. The churches and public 
buildings were similarly decorated* and the ships in the harbour* from 
the Stone Bridge to Bathurst and Cumberland basins* a distance of more 1 
than two miles, hoisted colours in such profusion* that their mast a and 
rigging were almost hid beneath the multitude of flags with which 
they were dressed. The bells of the various churches rang out mercy 
peals; guns of large and small calibre were continually fired in all di¬ 
rection^ especially in the neighbourhood of the shipping; bauds of 
music plaved their liveliest tunes as they marched to their appointed 
places in the Procession; and the shops and establishments of the city 
{with few exceptions) being dosed, multitudes of people—dd and 
voting, rich and poor, men, women, and children, fill attired In holiday 
costume, were everywhere jostling one another with the most imper¬ 
turbable- good-humour, in tfidr anxiety to catch a nearer glimpse of 
pome splendid banner or ingenious emblematic device of the handi¬ 
craftsmen to whom it belonged* as they wended their way, amidst the 
cheers of the assembled crowds, to the place of rendezvous in the Old 
Market. 


The weather vrw remarkably fine; indeed, the sun rarely shines with 
such brill lone v in November as it did on Monday Inst, the anniversary 
of the burial of the benevolent Edward Colston—almost proverbially wet* 
The Procession being formed, at ten o'clock a bugle waa sounded, and 
at the signal the banners, emblems* device, &c* woro simultancoualy 
hoisted, amidst the firing of guns, the ringing of bells, and the deafening 
cheers of the crowds who filled the streets as far as the eye could reach. 
The sight at this moment was certainly very beautifiil and animating* 
The gorgeous banners and insignia of the Odd Fellows* glistening in the 
sunlight, and the superb ornaments and models of the Trades, in 
perfect order and regularity, and extending nearly a mile in length, pre¬ 
sented n magnificent amp *FmL . _ 

The Procession being now prepared to move, the bugle ogam sounded, 
and the head of the column commenced its march up Castle-street, the bauds 
of music, of which there were 18, striking up together . On the arrival of 
the Procession at &L Peteris Hospital* it was joined by the Governor 
(J, G, Shaw, Esq.) and the Corporation of the Poor, who led the wav 
through Ihdphin-strcot and Wine-street to the Council-house, which 
was reached shortly after half-post Lea o'clock. (One of the accompany¬ 
ing niuatralioiiB "represents this scene.) Hero the Procession was 
headed by bss Worship the Mayor, John Eerie HaberfieM* Esq., accom¬ 
panied by many members of the town-council, and attend™ by the 
various cfvic functionaries, the society of Merchant Venturers, the pre¬ 
sident (Robert Bright, Esq.) and council of the Free Port Association, 
the incorporated gas companies, and a large number of the principal 
merchants, bonkers, and tradesmen, who had assembled in the vestibule

Miles, Esq.) joined the Procession on horseback, about a quarter past 
onq, at Clifton Church, and accompanied it tha remainder of the route 
The lion, gentlemen were repeatedly cheered* 

Owing to the length of mute and the necessarily slow pace at which the 
Procession moved* it. did not roach its de&tinatiou at the Council-house at 
the hour intended * biz. three o'clock* On the contrary, St* Stephen V clock 
pointed to n quarter past four before the htad of the column pnsaoti that 
spot; and it was not till after five that the whole of the brilliant cortege 
hail passed by* filing off by degrees as it passed the nuiniciparbuildiog. 
The larger 1 finalration shows the Procession as it appeared on passing 
the Asylum for the Blind, at the lop of Park-street, 

As the evening set in, a few tradesmen illuminated their houses, and 
there were occasional displays of fireworks. Several of ihe trades met*, 
and celebrated the event of the day. 

The men in the employ of Messrs, Bernard, Yining, and Co.* sugar re¬ 
finers, were regaled with a sumptuous entertainment, provided by their 
employers, at the Cat and Wheel Tavern, Cualk-green* 

Messrs. J. and J. White* of the Baptist Mills Pottery, provided a good 
dinner for the men of their eatabUsbrneut, which was served up on the 
premises in ihe evening, About forty sat down, under the presidency o f 
Mr. James White* 

Messrs, Pigott, of Corn-street, gevo tm entertainment to the ha m3 a 
employed by them* at tha White Lion* Quay-head. The d3tmd h consisted 
of good old Lirgli-h fan*—roast beef, phi in-pudding, &e. 

The Workmen, wiLh their families* in the employ ol Messrs Lcndruni 
and Marshall * i adorn, celebrated the holiday hy partaking of;i substan¬ 
tial dinner* at the residence of Mr. Marshall 
The smiths, dyers, and tailors* also* we umlerafaml, assembled fit 
the Cock ami Bottle at the termination of the Procession. 

The coopers dined at the New Globe, Ghrlsiims-slrtcl; the braziers 
nnd copjier-snuths at the Ship, Redclift-hill ; the hresui-fuiinders' at 
the Boar's Head, Redclifr-strecl.: and we believe the men of nearly even 
trade that appeared in the Procession subsequently met in rhedr vu- 
rious bouses of resort, to coimlude the day in a similar manner* 

The following reductions m the Bristol Lock dues took effect from 
November 1, ltf48j—On vessels from foreign parts, hitherto paying 3 b.

CHRIST CHURCH, 

HIGHBURY* 

This handsome Church was consecrated 
on the 16th nit., by the Lord Bishop g 
London, attended by about forty or fifty 
of the clergymen of bis diocese. The 
edifice was crowded by the inhabitants 
of the surrounding neighbourhood, who 
were unanimous In their praise of tide 
elegant structure. 

In plan, this new Church is cruciform 
-the centra being nn octagon, carried 
by eight octagonal columns* supporting 
moulded n relies, above which is the cle¬ 
restory, the windows being filled with 
stained glass Of curious patterns. The 
roof te stained tohnttution of oak j the 
lines which are formed by the intersec¬ 
tion of the timbers have a very pictur¬ 
esque effect* the principals resting on 
carved corbels. . ^ _ 

The nfirtb,MUth* and west fronts have 
each a largo stained gloss window*being 
contributions by private in dividuals; the 
two former wore executed by M&sars. 
Ward and Nixon- 

Tim apse or altar end consist** of five 
aides of an octagon, with, n stained giusa 
window in ouch. The reredo* la ax- 
ciUBltuly carved, and occupies the whole 
of tits sides i this is finished by a. sumo 
altar rail, the altar being ascended by 
three steps, The communion plate has 
been pressed by one of the congregation* 

The organ screen has rather 
appearance, from the situation which U 
occupies—being in the to*«V present*

The pewlng is stained in imitation of 
oak; and, from the form of tlio Church* 
the whole of the congregation can Be 
and hear tho minister* both In the pulpit 
and at the comm union-table. The means 
by which this Is produced gives a pic¬ 
turesque effect* by the various Intortsec* 
lions Of the arches, always so pleasing in 
Gothic structures. The pulpit, reading- 
desk, and font are of Caen stone* and 
curved very richly. The Church wlU 
accommodate nearly &W persons. 

The edifice is built of Kentish rag, 
with Bath atone dressings. It has been

APPARATUS 

The light was produced from • galvanic battety of moderate sire, embracing 
In its construction and elements several Improvements, so aa to render the bab- 
tenr“ omtunt, continuous, and regular la Its action, and economical in cost. By 
means of solid copper wires the electric fluid Is conveyed totholamp, which may 
be elated oh a table or suspended from tho celling. In this lump sre two Sticks 
of carton or carbonaceous material* between which the light fn developed ■* 
theao BtlcS are moved by u clock-work arrangement* In proportion 
U (STm consumed, at h speed which Is regulated by the current. 
To render tho light continuous* it in necessary that these two pieces ofcartxm 
BhoSS hret be brought into actual contact, that the current may pass, mid then 
te sepamted to a sJwrt distance apart. This 1 s accomplished by means 
of STS*** fetf without manual aid. As the carbon ^mdimUy wears 
MVfty fSbout lialf an Inch an hour)* the same regulated distance be* 
SIS. 'The two electrodes, la ensured by like means. The apparatus 
may be fio reh^Tto effect this «if-repMtoii is an eleetre*meg- 
nctlc Inntrumcnt, placed immndtetely under the P ate of the lamp, aad through 
which the current of electricity is made to pass. The principle of this toatij- 
meat h extremely ingenious* and in sorno degree resembles a galvanometer: tire 
current passing through a coil of wire, magnetl^ « ber of wit bou 
which is pAAsed through tiic eoU^ and* in proportion as the current is strong 
or jSble. tee magnetised bar rises or falls. When the current is In oxces* 
it actuates an cacapenjont, and tho two electrodes are dfawn to the required 
dUtence apart | imd when the current passing la tow than thc reguJated q™t^ 
SVmotfofte reversed* and the electrodes are drawn closer togeth^. By tlm 
mean*, not only Is the light rendered rfrady and on^^udi rf 

the generated fluid la allowed to pMS as is developed la llgh^-effectlng an 
ocenomy of the battery power never before approached- . 

Tbc light equalled botween m and 090 standard wax-candles? and when It was 
thrown by means cf a glass Ions on some pictures at the end of the room, tho 
was almost magical, and was loudly applauded by the assembly. The 
mat delicate tints of colour, the grey*. gnMns, and de¬ 

fined hj bv duytight. Tlio prismatic rays were subsequently shown by Mr. 
Statite. AU 3 were as vivid and bright a* those from a sunbeam* and per¬

Impulse was to torn to the Mmnts and exclaim— 

** What moans this? How is It that my order* are not obeyed? Did I not 
aay, I whs not visible for any one?" 

Instead of obeying this indirect dismissal, the unknown coldly ndmnccd to¬ 
wards the Host, and, canting a loot of severity on him mid on Ms associates, 
** Except for ms* ctilzen-eotittagini*" He replied. 

It was the thin Commissary cluuigeti luto the Com miss *ry-Geneml*an^ there*

therefore, bowed before powers more extended than hU own, 

** Welcome* citizen," hu said* rising ami motioning Ms friends to follow His ex¬

country which will repay yonr onntidencc. And to wash it down, we have Bur- 
gundy of the tints of the old Government. You must confess everytiduff was not 
bad under It." 

Far from joining In this sally, or obeying the invitation, thu Commlssary-Gene- 
mVs face only darkened more, and his Inquisitorial oyo surveyed the room, Tas 
table, the dishes* shocked him ; so much luxury looked suspldfius. Ho belonged 
to those HUStGTV Itoptiblkuiu who would put society to the regimen of black 
broth. Lie gave the example, and lived In Spartan frugality. The r-fcjAagnmtr 
for twenty-two was were to him temples raised to superfluity i he paid a much 
smaller tribute to the neceaslIleHi of life, not from want of utcan.% hut from prin¬ 
ciple. lie liked to stint himself as others like to unjoy thsmMlTOi It was hla

Sliceulent dishea, hud upon the Commissary-Gencxah Ho saw lu it tits disgrace 
of the new Institution*. A diah of isparagite teftiwlttliaul him laosi^asporagua 
at the beginning of March! What an example for the people 1 Ho could ill re¬ 
strain his anger; and He answered I n a rough tone— 

" Thanks, citizen, , . In the morning a cup of milk is sufficient for mo. * * 
Ih&idcsp my moments am precious. , , Ira expected In the next depart¬ 
ment, . , 1 can give you only an hour," 

Those words were uceompanled by gestures which formed an express 1 ye cam- 
numtary. The Amphitryon Mt hte boldness desert Jtim ; and Ms guests did not 
know how to look. The Comml^iry-Ueneml mil stored them one by one. 

14 These citizens nre your fticuda," wild he, addressing his Inferior. 

« Yes* my colleague; mid I am proud of them*" lie replied* with a respectful 
tone* *■ The flower of the patriots here! The terror ofthp bouryewik! Pure* 
chosen men r 

“ Well, then, Jet os sit down*" replied the Oommlasary-GenemL 11 1 prefer 
having witnesses. Rot am to your asparagus, citi*mfl," he slid, irltli biting 
irony ; "I have other cares." 

He took u chair, and again cast a withering look on the untimely vegetablea. 
The guests stepped aside from respect mingled with fear, as If a marble statue had 
taken a scat at their banquet. It ww* evident tltot ha was n Judge and a master; 
everything showed It* The simple Commissary was annihilated befbrft the higher 
power. The fixistcre Republic reproached the epicurean Republic, A tong 
alienee obtained, which was broken by the new-comer— 

*• Citfzena,” he said, U 1 speak out plainly; 1 am not satisfied with your town. 
Excuse my frankness; truth before everything." 

“ Citizen, that is a very severe jnclgmeut," replied the departmental magis¬ 
trate. wounded to the quick. " Stay we know how we deeervo U F’ 

“ Nothing is done* citizen I Nothing Is shaken; nothing progresses, I saw 
It at a glitneo." 

"Explain, citizen, explain. What aie you* complaints ? Wboro arc your 
proofs Y* triad the Accused, mare and more hart. 

,l Proofs j They are only too abundant, ettfeen, I have been o quarter of an 
Hour in Lhe chief town of the district—what have I seen ? Quiet streets; people 
going about their bmdncsw^," 

Jl Unt It seems to me M - 

“ Citizens* l wish to explain. If I hare accused you unjustly* 1 will be the 
first to acknowledge it. Let ns see what has happened here; whet have you 
done—have you clubs as in Farte?* 1 
"No," said the fathers* * we hare no clubs." 

* l Have you hod your processions* after the manner of the ParMon cues ? " 

4i No," said the assembly. 

41 No processions, no clubs; that Is serious. At least* you hove had the tarn* 
pious* as In Paris ?" 

The cobviriahi looked ateaelv other In mute disappointment: the consciousness 
of their fault penetrated them more and more ; they seemed to shrink before 
this overwhelming examination. But a new coufa&UiiL was pressed from them. 


" Wo have had no temptow, 1 * they Baid. 

"And you coll that a Republic r* axeUkrcd the Indignant judge, 4t ABe- 
pobllr without lanpions* without prooc*sl«w* without clujs I Now 1 am pre¬ 
pared for anything. Confess that you hive imd no tree of liberty here, with ae- 
compiuilntent of firing mid tricolor flags i T ' 

Their consciences were stricken* their Ups powerless. Silence atone replied 
to the accuser. 

“I thought so*" he continued ; “I need not go ant nothing as in Patii* 
absolutely nothing- Not ;a great Idea, not one noMo spectacle. Oh I Republic, 
thus art thott iitftqgumted. Where are thy fbuces? where thy antiquu dra¬ 
pery ? " 

At these words tire Coinniisiaary-GOT &ral me: his grief was sincereU hu, wheu 
his iU-hmnour was vented by three or four turns round the room, he returned, to 
his scat, and said— 

“Speak, citizen, lot us Hnlah this affair. Why did yon not agitato the dis¬ 
trict ? * 

" Agitate? For what purpose ? It was ready for anything,” 

“Apparently, yes; but in their hearts the people are refractory* believe me, 
And Hath you ptuihdi&d the functionaries of tile fallen system ? ” 

“ Why ? They showed thom*elvefr eager to obey." 

** Farces 1 You arc cheated* citizen. What, uot one revoeatlop:, not one des- 
titrclon ?'* 

" Three or four nitiy. If you knew How submissive the department is"— 

"That Is It . SnbmlHal vo \ They pretend to be submissive, arid In reality they 
conspire. Certain I y, citiron, you wliui energy ■ you forget all Tmtuly examples 
and austere tradition*," added the Coiumlssary-Geiicml, alluding evidently to the 
well-tilled board. 

'♦But, indeed ”- 

“ My order* are positive citizen; ptwitivo—do you understand. You most 
agitate,” 

" I wUl do my best,” hnmhly replied the subordinate officer. 

** You have to make up for lost timu; begin the work at once l lesuc procla¬ 
mation]; and bulletins; and be carofnl In the style. Words as large as houses!" 

11 Very woll." 

“ Then yon will hare a club—two, If possible. 1 ' 

“ I will have throo.” 

" You will plant a tree of liberty.” 

4< I will plant two.” 

" Yon will orgtuiiso processions " 

“ To-morrow." 

"Aa to public ceremonies lean give no positive orders. Let them be im¬ 
posing 1 that ift tho essential point. If noed be* run the town Into debt; money 
cannot bo better spent. Always follow the example of Paris ; young girls In 
white* and bulls w ith gilt horns. Raisa the mind of the people hy great specta¬ 
cles, and, plenty of allegory I" 

Allegory, since you wish lt. w 

u Indeed* citizen* it pleases mo to acc yon return to the tnio principles of tire 
Revolution. Two words coiitolu tlietn—Agitate nod Depose—above all, Depose. 
No hesitation, tie weakness. And ramembur that Carina Dontotua breakfasted 
ntiu dish of radishes when the Sanmitos scot Lhulr aiobrAsadcire to hitu. A na¬ 
tion Is nearly enslaved when it puts too much Into the mouth. You understand 
me. Adieu," 

Having given his colleague this last advice, tho CommisBary-General rote ma¬ 
jestically, He took leave like ti man Who Is coiuclousaf his importance* and 
fcelf Ills supericrlty. The Amphytrlon and Ills companions acconipiuiiud him to 
the steps of tho hotel* end did not quit tire place till Hid carriage was gone. Rut, 
when it was out of sight, the linn?Mated Commissary raized his head* and bowing 
ironically—" \ happy Journey t" he said. Tjou, turning to hbt companions* like 
a man who feels the necessity of being revenged, "My friendo*" said he* i( do 
you know wliom you have seen ?" 

"No* 1 ' they exclaimed. 

" The President of the Republic of Dry Rrond. If it is estoblishcri* I sboU 
abdicate. 

A unanimous laugh greeted this sally, and tho Cominlssiufy, in a voice of autlio- 
rUy, exclaimed—

MONETARY TRANSACTIONS OF THE WEEK, 

(From our dtp Correspondent*) 

There hafi been but little tc toiterost the pubUc In the Consol* Market duriUK 
tho week; all the (luctuaticM haring arisen from the various changes that 
usually occur iu tb&ouitleinentof the Account, whfeh nominally took phice tra 
TesMay. It canflot, however, ho said to ho finally arranged even now. On 
Monday, it was regarded as being alightly BRnin‘it the party for tlm Otti; hut, 
ateck proving more plentiful than was expected, prices receded a point. Tire 
following dfty, soma lurge uecoimta baring been " bought in,” prices were again 
Ann; and on Thursday Corwaii quoted 86 j l for Money. The extreme ntngo 
lia* been hutween 8Ci and $6 j—every fraction luiving* in tarn, been quoted. A 
defaulter was pnblicly spoken of on Thursday, whose ficcount wus about 
£100,000 CoiiifOla. It Is, however, probable that in tiiis, m well as fn 
ftevqrul minor instances, the losses In the Share Market have mure 
to do with the inajumuiim than the fluctuation in tlm Consol account* 
which hua beau only about 1# tier cent. Tho unfunded debt t» ratiiar In ud-

aiAiiefta of wlifeU are hrJ^ffiy (hCBC: a hliort UmO since the Han. Oyvnrd. NirI, 3

at once placed under nrn»t by tire eolwiel* and the arrest remained in force until ^S^^^lSScSI! U^ 'ncar ^Su«*£S»? 

the regiment left the town, on which invasion Captain Noel marched nut In tho - 

rear of Ida troop* without lite sword* tiie usual eotsr&o adopted towards officers 
under arrest. Soon afterwards Captain Nod wft*iiff&ln placed under arrest for 
not returning Iti hla iluly during Uic Jtaaler hall days* the rule, however, being 
that officers in the army, who ere also memhora of the Legislfttaro, may at any 
time absent themselves frem tiioir regimejit—witlieut tho rrecaudty of obtaining 
leave of absence—tfi attend thair pArtUmentary duties. From this arrest* m 
soon as it waa Icnowu, Captain Noel was released by the general of the district* 

Not long After kis liberation from the second arrest. Captain Noel, not being ex¬ 
actly on tlio spot whore nt tho moment he Ought to Ireve been* Lurd CsrdJgam 
peremptorily called ant to him, "Captain Noel, go to your troop, sir!” To which 
order the captain replied* "I am with my troop* sir;” being im inert lately 
answered fe’ filsLiritehln, " You bio not* sir; none of your London maimers 
here I" Hurt by tho colOneVs words* ho naked fe) n private interview, at which 
lie ajdn-d l,i ml Cardlgun why intuiting language Imd been up idled to him on 
parade,lu tire presence of his troop? The answer received was, "Oct out or 
my rrrom, sir I" Tliercupon Captain Noel hiitl the whole mutter before the Cnm- 
munder*In-ChfeL who* uHtr a conoidcrahle cOrreapoudence with tlm parties, 
directed, through the Adjutan^Oeuerul* that Captain Noel sboiilci apologise to 
Lord Cardigan, a dlroetlon wlih which Captain Nod, in tlio proaenca of tire 
AdjatanriCcucnil, Lon! Cardigan, arid other authorities* refuted to comply. 

The Hon. Captain Noel Is member for tho county of Rutland; Ills father, the 
Karl of Gainsborough* is a supporter of the Government* though tho captain 
himself is 4 ijonservative; Ida maternal uncle Is Sir G, Grey, tho Heine Secre¬ 
tary, uiul his ateptuotlier Is lady of Ihc bedchamber. Cuptain Noel writes to tho 
ComnuiTKlcr-Ui'Chlaf, expressing hi.^ Wish to nbey hitt G mr:o p ^ cotmuands, but 
praying In tim Unit in stance for m cvuirt of inquiry. The Duke of WdlJtigton 
refuses the court of inquiry upon mMcIpta, and n court-martial te impracticable* 
for bufote such a Irtbuiml Lord fiartUguii must prefer Ills charge. Here tire 
matter rents.

TTTE DOCK WORKS AT GREAT GRIMSBY. 


GREAT GRIMSBY AND ITS DOCKS. 

Tun opening of the Great Northern Railway, which gives a railway communica¬ 
tion torongbout from Great Grimsby to London, and the success which has at- 
tended the operation of excluding the water from the coffer-dam and embank* 
mentis of the Deep Sea Docks* now constructing at Groat Grimsby, furnish us 
with the opportunity of redeeming the premia© we mail s to describe tlieue Docks, 
when we gave representations of the large pier erected for crossing the Eumber 
tmj, and cf the more remarkable point* of the line traversed by the section of 
the Manchester, Sheffield* and Lincolnshire Railway, opened In March last. 
We now give two views of the* important Dock works* 

Many of our readers, not Hfrrarsed in the geography of foreign lands, 
may pause here and ask where U Great Grimsby? Orest Grimsby lies on the 
north eastern coast of Lincolnshire, at the widest part of the mouth of iho 
Humber, facing the sea, and protected by a curve on the Yorkshire side of iho 
river, known w Spurn point, from all the storms of the German Ocean. This 
admirable situation, Juft out of too sea and at the mouth of the river, with the 
advantage of a natural breakwater against wind and wave®, made it a port of 
Importance in Saxon times, long before Hull wna founded. 
t Macpberaou, In hlfl u AnnaU of Commerce," states that M . Grimsby is noted by 
flit Norwegian or Icelandic writers, as an emporium resorted io by merchant* 
from Norway, Scotland* Orkney, sod the Western Islands.” 

The DittUkipal rights Which it still enjoys are said to date from King John’ 
The earliest Charter to existence was granted by Edward III., and vested the 
IKrawtunent of the town In a mayor, two hull lift, twelve aldermen t and thirty* 
six burgesses. In that reign Grimsby carried on a cackle ruble trade; and 
was rich and populous* as Is proved by its haring famished eleven ships and 
Otic hundred and seventy men to assist at tins siege of Calais. From very 
early times Grimsby returned two member* lo the House of Commons; but the 
Reform Bill reduced Hds privilege one half* by placing the borough to Schedule E. 

In the course of time the superior to cun a of Internal etinoinunicatton afforded 
by the Humber raised up Hull, and nttntcied nearly oil the commerce of 
Grimsby, it then ™nk into a mare flaking village, sustained hi factitious Ira* 
portnnee by municipal and parliamentary privileges, until about fifty yearn 
wro when some local landowners formed a company and made a dock, which 
extends, can*]41ke, into the town, with a capacity oi about fifteen acres. Tills 
dock did much toward raring the town from utter decay, and was of considerable 
advantage, although the tides permitted it to be open but a few hours each day, 
for local exports and import*. , 

in IB«* a Company wna framed for the purpose of ranking a Dock at Great 
Grlmfibr, worthy of It* admirable local position, and to connect it, by the con¬ 
templated railway communication, with all tho principal towns of (England, 
This Company eventually purchased ell the property and privileges of the Old 
Dock Company at a cheap priceJ 

The promoter* of Ute Mtcccsdon prunes* sines emalgaraated under the title of 
the Mntidicater, Sheffield* and Lincolnshire Railway*mrtdo Great Grimsby ane of 
their termini. They had the wiidom soon to .«* the important uf executing 
the Deck works upon a scale which would render It a first-rate shipping station* 
1 n groat tow as it has not been unusual to expend vast sums of money upon ac¬ 


commodation for railway stock, land carriages* and mere handle. At Grimsby 
there wus no largo population, but there was a natural position mast favourable 
for local, river, roartlng, and foreign trade, when once by rail ways a means of in¬ 
ternal communication, equal to die water earrings posaessed by H nil was opened. 
It was determined to provide the hoot possible accommodation for ships and 
steamers, us well as land carriages, to attract and create a traio and popula¬ 
tion, as wall os serve the local and general traffic which would naturally flow 
along the roll ways. ‘ rt 

Tlio Dock Company was amalgamated with the Manchester and SbenWa Hall¬ 
way ; snd the works were placed In the ft an tits of Mr. Rendcl, tiro celebrated 
engineer of Birkenhead Docks and the works at Plymouth; and It was deter¬ 
mined to construct dock a and warehouses on the most complete scale, as a 
branch, a feeder* and a water station for the railway. 

It will bo seen that, in a naval point of view. Great Grimsby occupies a very 
Important position, commanding ns it does the mouth of the number, and 
enabling war-steamers to dash into the ocean at a moment’s notice* In the last 
war twelve hundred vessels under convoy were frequently seen ui anchor* ti inter 
the shelter of Spurn Point. In adverse winds nearly ns many may he seen 
taking ml vantage of this natural protection. The Admiralty were so Sensible of 
tiie great naval id vantage* that Grimsby would possess when connected with 
the Interior of the metropolis by railways, that they induced the woods anti 
Forests to give np ft large tract of land of many acres on condition that the 
lock-gates were increased to a sufficient capacity to receive the largest war- 
at camera. This the Company consented to do at an additional expense, It is raid 
not far abort of ^00,000, Wo believe ft is the first Instance on record of such a 
work, for a purely national object, baring been undertaken by a private 
company. Th ctwo ml lw*y* terminate at G mat Grimbay—the East Lincolnshire 
/belonging to the Great Northern) opens up a coraimmlcatica with London 
through Burton and Peterborough; and the Manchester, Sheffield, und Lincoln¬ 
shire opens a communication with HalT, Lincoln, and the other towns from 
which It takes its name* A branch from the station where tbesa two rail ways 
unite passe# through the to w r n until St reached the edge of the dock; there it 
divides into two forks, one of which will traverse the East Wharf to the extremity 
of tire Pier, for the convenience of passengers and good# landed In the outer 
Basin; the other fork will traverse the West Wharf between too quay edge and 
intended warehouse* for the Transport of heavy goods. 

The Dock works consist of a wet doek,|of an area of about thirty acres, walled 
in on the west aido by «wharf 2000 feet long, 200 wide, and 3ft feet high, having 
at the extremity ft pier of great length,—making in all a waterside quay told per 
about three-ouarters uf a mile long, This will be the passenger plot for steam¬ 
ers from Hamburgh and the Baltic, The east side wharflng, of the some length* 
and 070 feet wide, will bo partly covered with warehouses, and partly devoted to 
a gofflla station, with a perfect communication between the dipping, the ware¬ 
houses, and the railway, by tramways,—the first example, perhaps, of a com¬ 
plete union of sudi works. , . 

The passage to too Docks will bo through on entrancebasin fanned by the two 
pICTS,area about twenty acres; within which, and alongside Iho piers, vessels 
not requiring to enter the Docks in ay lie. Thus a steamer may dJschougo pas- 
scugors and goods in railway carriages and trucks brought right alongside, anti 
biking mails and Manchester silk and cotton good* aboard from other trucks, and 
go to sea again all In one tide. The communication between the open tidal basin 
and the Dock will be effected by two locks. The one 300 feet kmg and G* feet 
wide, will admit the largest war-steamer at any time, except an hour before* and 
0 U hour after dmd low wattr. The other will be 200 fret long, and 4b feet wide* 
At the lowest tide there will besU feet water an the threshold of these Dock- 


gates. All the ordinary class of vessels and steamers will find water enough to 
enter and lie In shelter In the basin at any huur. At Hull largo vessel* can only 
enter an hour before and an hour after high water. 

The Dock lias tapficity for accoinmodatiDK 700 average ship** and too hariu 
500, In all 1200—being it number equal to the Accommodation of nil the docks 
open at Hull, where at present the accommodation is insufficient, and Hull 
merchant* are looking for relief to Grimsby Dock*. 

The Dock duos ire fixed at a merely nominal rate. The arrangemente for re¬ 
ceiving and dispatching goods, cither for import or export, require no intermediate 
cart wit, Vosses arriving to discharge cargoes for warehousing, will He under 
iho very warehouse cranes. Those with goods for Immediate transmiarton into 
the interior, as, for in&tetice, German wool for Leeds or Manchester, will rUa- 
chargQ into a line of trucks e[anding upon the quay. For export the facilities 
will be equally great; and as the docka and warehouses wifi be surrounded by a 
wall* there will be none of that pilferage which orents at Liverpool and other 
porta, where toe storehouses am at i diatoms? from the quays. Here, am we hive 
fluid, the sea, the rails, the quaya, and warehouses are In meat convenient jnxta* 
position. 

Our Baltic and German trade becomes daily of more importance. For too 
timber trade, Grimsby is peculiarly well situated* Merchants from Hull have 
already established timber wharfs there; and such Is tiro uroapectivi; prosperity of 
the port, that the Custom s duties, without increased facilities, have risen in three 
years from ,£39fla to £7 n.ooo a year 

The connexion of Grimsby with Leeds and Manchester is even closer than 
with London, 

The Docks of Grimahv raring twenty miles of river navigation* and lying 
fifty miles nearer Loudon than Hull, accessible at oil boars, will always enable 
passengers ftnd malls to reach London six hours sooner than by way of Hull. 
In winter evenings they maybe landed the same night, Instead of having to lie 
off until the wxt morning. 

Lincolnshire is toe greatest producing eoanty in the kingdom, and therefore 
requires the largest quantity of bones, oiLcukU* *nd other tillages Imparled from 
the Baltic porifl. These Docks will also render Great Grimsby tins first and be*t 
harbour of refuge on the costem coast. 

Endowed with such dock accommodation, forming the port of the greatest pro¬ 
ducing county, united by rail ways with Hull, with Leeds, and the clothing district* 
with Lancashire, the greatest manufacturing county, and with London by a 
direct line, nearly the most level in the kingdom ; not rivalling Hull* but acting 
os a useful auxiliary and outpoTt for tho ovcmowing Baltic trade, at toe same 
time that it creates a new and profitable commence of Its own, it is impossibie to 
doubt but that Great Grimsby must become one of our most important comm or- 
cfol and naval ports, toe mart of a great foreign and homo trade. In the un¬ 
happy cam of war* It must be the station for the fleets which, In the last war, used 
to llo with so ranch danger to toeliostou-mfldft—with this difference, that now a 
few war-steamera wib do the watching work of a whole squadron j and we may 
presume that the national Importance of Great Criraaby wj‘teh Jma induced 
Prince Albert to announce bis intention of laying the first ste.id lit the apring. 


The Diamond Steam-packet Company held the annual general court 
of proprietors at G ravesend, on Friday bc tonight. Tho report stated tbuttiie balauce

THE ROMAN INSUREECTION, 

The position of Chief Magistrate is always a perillons an© in times 
of revolution* Whether he be an absolute or a constitutional Mo¬ 
narch, or the elected President of the people or of a class of the 
people, his dangers are equally great. To resist revolution may lie 
fatal to his power or his life; to yield to it or to aid it, may prove 
even more certainly and more speedily destructive. Whenever he 
resists, it is at the risk of all he holds dear* The shock of the Re¬ 
volution is directed against him. He has to bear its whole brunt, 
■nd sometimes to pay its whole cost. The payment Is too often 
exacted amid his own unspeakable misery, and consummated amid 
the tears and blood of his truest friends, if not amid Ins own* If, 
on the contrary, he favour or aid the Revolution, cither from hia 
conviction of its justice and necessity, or in order that he may 
guide it to a safer issue, and preserve some portion of his own 
powers or privileges that might otherwise be swept away by the 
ruthless besom of unbounded innovation, his position becomes even 
mom difficult, delicate, and periUous* He acquires mob-popularity 
at starting, and if he be fond of tho plaudits of the million, he may 
be tickled and gratified for awhile by that exciting, but short-lived 
luxury, the sweet voice of the people. He becomes tho hero and 
the idol of a day. The rabble and the people, the ill- 
. dressed and tho well-dressed multitude, unite in celebrating 
his praises, and in urging him ad o wn the broad path and fearful 
slope that lead to anarchy. If he ride with tho mob, he rides to 
destruction ; if he stand still, the feet of the, multitude pass over 
him* The tongues that onoa praised him* disparage or curse him. 
The hands that waved their greasy caps in triumph as bo passed* 
are ready to take his life ; and the men who would have unyoked 
tho prancing steeds of ins chariot, and drawn him in triumph 
through the streets of his capital, but too often desire nothing 
bettor than to hurl him down the Tarpeian rock, as a peace-offering 
to offended Democracy, Louis Philippe is a striking example of 


i the folly and danger of unwise resistance. His fate is already a 
world s lesson, and points a morel for all kings and for all people. 
Tho King of Prussia and Pope Pius IX. afford examples equally 
striking of the perils of a revolutionary career to men not possessed 
of the highest order of minds* but who fancy themselves capable 
of guiding the storm of popular commotion to their own advantage* 
Their fate shows that men who, in the situation of Chief Magistrate, 
perform an active, instead of a passive, part in the great drama of 
revolution, require not only the highest genius, the greatest 
courage, the most unyielding integrity, and the most unassailable 
virtue, but the most splendid good-fortune, to be successful. That 
neither the King of Prussia nor Pius IX. has succeeded, or can 
succeed, is scarcely to bo wondered at* but very much to bo de¬ 
plored. It is impossible not to sympathise in their distresses and 
perplexities, and to wish that their lot bad fallen in quieter times. 
Revolutions are unnatural monsters ; they devour not only their 
enemies, but their friends, Saturn only devoured his children; 
but revolutions devour both their offspring and their progenitors. 

A few short months ago the name of Pio Nona was the most 
popular name in Europe. A liberal Pope was such a novelty, that 
Roman Catholic Europe shouted with delight at the unusual but , 
gratifying spectacle. His praise was upon all tongues. He may 
be called with truth the father of all the convulsions of this re¬ 
markable year. He gave* in 1847 , the start which preceded if it 
did not hasten tho French and Gorman Revolutions of 1848 * His 
example excited the nations. If it were not he that laid the train* 
it was his hand that ignited it Tho world rang with his renown! 
He was the friend of the people, the liberator of the nations, the 
apostle of humanity. The inhabitants of France and Italy, and of 
Roman Catholic countries generally, vied with each other who 
shonld honour him most* literature and art ran a race of emula¬ 
tion in celebrating his renown, and in making known to tho grate¬ 
ful multitudes the graces of his countenance and the 


mind* There was never such a Pope as Pio Nono in the estimation 
of the Italians and French. All his predecessors were dwarfs and 
pigmies compared with his gigantic stature and proportions* They 
were merely bigoted priests, and Ho Nono was a statesman* They 
lived upon tb© recollections of the past; bo took his inspiration 
from tho future* So said all men; yet he has outlived all this. 
The Revolution has been boo rapid for him. He has halted to take 
breath, and has been undone. He was ordered, bat refused to move 
farther. The irresistible mass behind him has passed over him, and 
left him in the rear as we now behold him, denuded of popularity, 
possessing the name and semblance but not the reality of ■ power, 
the most helpless of all the Monarchs of Europe, amid the Revolu¬ 
tionary excitement and excesses of our times* It would even 
flocm, so great is the change that has taken place in tho estimation 
of his subjects towards him, that the most popular of all Popes will 
be the last of the Ecclesiastical Magistrates of Rome; and that, in 
future, the holder of the Papal dignity will bo a priest alone, and 
not a Sovereign* 

The circumstances attending the recent convulsion in Rome are 
highly dramatic* The spectacle suits a southern latitude, and 
could not occur in the more sober and rational north* An unpo¬ 
pular Minister, surrounded by a mob hissing and hooting, toms 
upon them when on the threshold of the ITaK of tho Legislature, 
and, “pridein his port, defiance in hia eye, 1 ' confront© and braves 
his enemies. The heroism of his deed appears in their imagi¬ 
nation to he presumption only. One man present conceives him¬ 
self to be a Brutus, destined to rid Home of a new Ginsar. The 
dagger, always ready in tho hands of Italians, is in his grasp; and 
in a moment the unfortunate Minis tor is stabbed in the neck, and 
welters in his blood upon the steps of tho Capitol. The assassin 
withdraws into the crowd; his name is unknown: the son of the 
murdered Minister stands over tho dead body of his father, and in 
en, with hare bead and hands and eyes uplifted > s wears

in that place, and in the hearing of thousands of the people, that ho

Ministry, and declare for the federation of tile states of Italy. The 
Pope is utterly powerless. Ho has none to help him. The 
mob is lord paramount. Thu middle classes have fraternised with 
the rabble. The soldiers have clone the same. There remain 
none to do battle in defence of the sacred person of the head of 
Roman Catholic Christendom but twenty four Swiss mercenaries. 
These do their duty in the most heroic manner; but what are 
twenty-four men against a whole population 1 The Pope yields. 
Ho acts under coercion, and consents to a policy which ho in his 
conscience disapproves. We may easily foresee the result. He will 
never regain the high position in which he once stood \ and, if he 
rule at all, will rule in spite of hia own people, and by the aid of 
the bayonets of Rarlctzki. 

The idea of the federation of Italy, and the constitutional liberty 
and self-government of each of the states composing it, is a great 
and noble one. But such excesses as these can hut retard its reali¬ 
sation . No mob can govern. The military possessors of Lombardy 
cannot be expected to take the law, as to the future government 
of Italy, or any portion of it, from the populace of Borne. Brute 
force has been employed by the people in support of an idea, and 
bmta force will be employed as a natural consequence against that 
Idea. As long as ignorant mobs resort to violence and bloodshed 
in support either of their real or imaginary rights, so long will their 
rulers meet them with their own weapons, and so long will des¬ 
potism track the steps of anarchy ami licentiousness. Brute force 
made a Revolution m Paris ; and, in the interest of society, brute 
force keeps the Revolution within bounds. As in Paris, so it is 
elsewhere. The snroe laws apply umversa!)y. In countries difter- 
ently circumstanced from Italy, the people and their governors are 
allowed to settle their own disputes with the forces, whether brutal 
or moral, at their own command, until both the one and the other 
acquire wisdom by the suffering without which it is scarcely to be 
obtained. Italy, however, we cannot expect to be left to herself. 
Foreigners hold a large and fair portion of the country. They 
stand in the position of conquerors. Uadetzki is autocrat of the 
Jjombardo-Venetian kingdom. He has planted the foot of des¬ 
potism upon the anarchy of Milan. He will probably do the same 
at Romo : at all events, he will make the attempt. If he succeed, 
constitutional liberty in the Italian peninsula will be adjourned 
sine die. Liberty is \% blessing that can only be enjoyed by an in¬ 
dustrious, rational, orderly, and well-educated people. The Ita¬ 
lians as yet arc neither. They must educate themselves into a 
proper understanding of the meaning both of the word and of the 
thing, before they can attain it. Other nations have acquired or 
are acquiring this knowledge in sorrow and suffering. A similar 
ordeal awaits the Italians, 

The French Government, in order to anticipate, if not prevent 
the march of the Austrians, has announced the departure of a divi¬ 
sion of the French army for the protection of the Pope. The in¬ 
structions to the French Ambassador arc to save Pius IX. from 
personal restraint, and offer him an asylum, if need be, in France \ 
out on no account to interfere against the liberties of Italy: hi 
other words. Franco will protect the person of the Pope, but will 
protect, at the same time, the Roman populace against the Aus¬ 
trians. It was believed ill Paris, when General Cavaignoc made 
this announcement fco the National Assembly, that the Pope had 
actually fled from, Rome; but the mm our lam since ton contra¬ 
dicted," and proved unfounded. The new Ministry acceded to by 
the Pope at the dictation of the people, hits entered ofllce ; and 
General CfWaigoac may possibly sec reason to countermand his 
expedition. At all events, the certainty now possessed by Ausiria 
that France hi ready for intervention in Italy, will, in all proba¬ 
bility, emme Marshal Itadcuki to keep quiet at Milan, and await 
events. ___

Au episode of a personal character thk week has en hanced the unflagging in* 
toruHi which the approaching olccLoral straggle for the Presidency excites, and 
has graced with a glorious triumph the man whoso honourable ambition to be. 
come the JlraL President of tbut Republic, whoso inlancy lie had so ably rescued 
from destruction, it was Intended to defeat. 

Wo announeed last w eek, that a charge, founded solely In envy and hatred, 
which bad bfen aome mrroths ago whispered about against General Cnvalgnnc, 
hod been recently revived for election purposed, ami that Gen oral Cttvalgn&c 
having resolved on rescuing himself from Urn Imputed guilt, Saturday Iilml wan 
fixed by the National Aaaembly fur the purpose of hearing tha diargus speclfi- 
callv udducerl, together with General Cavaigmic's explanations. The accusation 
wa-s’onH of the hiackesl die, nameiy, that General Cavalgnac (tlioc Minister of 
War) had purposely refrained from taking promptly the requite mmtBdres to 
flnpiiu^s at onCc Lhe Infliirreetioii t»f *Tutic: on It* ttrat brvjiklng out, auu had dc- 
plgncuJly uilowed It to assume Its formklfttilo beiglit, in order thM he might have 
the greater merit of putting it down; and make Ids Kncccas a pretext for sauitig 
on tec Dictatorship, at the expenso of tha Executive Commitceo, the inefficiency 
of wldeli he. expected would have been mado manifest and tlieir dtj- 
po»UEon from office eiuortd by thfilr seeming Inability to deal With 
the evil which lie had mastered j also that he, then a attbordinate 
fund I cm ary, hod digEvbrved the urdera of the Executive, that be might 
tiie better accomplish Ids baae design, qTilW reckless of the Iduodsticd 
and massacre resulting from U. The quarrel was thus quite n domestic one 
among the ■♦Pure Republicans” them solves, and it originated in till# way. 

M + Bftrtbdhfmy St- Hilufra* who wa* secretary to the ExocuUve Govemmcnt. la 
engaged in writing a htetnry of ihe Revolution of February, in wblpb tlio 
fusurrenttou of Juno occupies an Important chapter. This chapter, which has 
been written for the last; two inontha, was recently comiuunlcftLod to seven or 
eight; members of the National Assembly, and om> of them brought foe nature of 
the document to Use kcioffletlge of General Cavnign^ who determined at once to 
bring the subject before the National Assembly. Accordingly, oil Saturday lust, 
the (lay previously fixed for the purpose, ho entered the tribune, and Inquired of hie 
adversaries (SOL Gamier Pagto, Fognerrc, and Duelerc, who were uuderstoud 
to bo part authors In the paper 3n question}!! they had spoken, written, or com¬ 
municated anything which could luivo served us the foundations of the attacks 
to Which Ire had been subjected t and. to provtmt their escaping from tbeao 
questions, he put the uddltLoaol one of—whether they had thought anything-In 
cmdbmltT m\i mch attacks ? M, BartfrfWmy St. lUJuRe at once declared that 
he and hfs ctilleague* bad no relation, direct or indirect, with any newspaper, 
and had communicated nothing. Ho then told the fact as to his having drawn 
up the paper mentioned as n chapter of hio intended litsto r y, und ClmU 
ns lie did mt wish p-wslon to bear upon the question, be would read 
that fragment to the Assembly, m the substance of hh opinion on the Hiiyeeu 
The document embraced In the main three charges, under the following head* :— 

The number of mrejia forming the garrison of Faria at the period of the June 
insurrection ; the plan for the suppression ot that InsnrrucLion adoptod by Gone- 
ml Cavaignac e and the political conduct of General Cavaignac to the Executive 
Commission while in oiftee as a member uf the Government, and afterwards. 

With respect to thu lirsi, M. St. liUalre declared that the Executive Government 
hud given orders at id pressed most urgently on General Cuvaigmu 1 the necessity 
of having at lutti 45,000 regular Lroopa, ia agarriaoa, in Farid ; but that, when 
the Generali w&i eonsulted bv tbe Govomment on the subject, after the 2jth of 
May, he declared that bo bad 10,01)0 regular truopsin Furls, which was exactly 
tha number brought Ln by M, Amgo as far buck as the 20tb of April, and that 
they could ncvcs k ascertain between that time and the 23rd of Jcmo how many 
additional regiments General Cuvaiguac bad brought Into the capital, or If ho 
had brought Jtnv: hut Hint, when General Umorfcftrc was Into minted on 
the subject m trie IHiiof July, his answer ™ that *■ tm great a display 
of milibiry force at I hat period would have raised u general clamour 
against the Government," an answer which allowed two things first* 
that the orders given by the Government bad not been executed; 
nnd secondly, that It wan Intentionally they bad not been executed. 

In answer lo tills charge General Cuvaipnac read a series of ordfire• given 
by him j«3 Minister of W&r, and the object of which wju to maintain In Paris ft

French Govemraent. On Tuesday, in tbo National Assembly. General Cuvai- 
gnac, in answer to a question addressed to him by M. Bixlo, replied that* divl* 
slon of French troops (3500 men In four steam*frigates> had been sent to Cl vita 
Vocchlato provide for the per.,anal security of the Pope, and to offer 1dm op 
asylum In France. This Intelligence General Cevaigu&u bad conveyed previ¬ 
ously to tha Are! l Mill op of Paris, In answer to his application for assistance for

on Monday night as Envoy Extraordinary from the French Eepublfo te the Go*

tire Secretary for Foreign Affairs, say s— . 

« Your mission has for its object to Intariere, Intlio nuine of the French Re¬ 
public, In order Lo restore to bln Holiness his personal liberty, if lie has been do* 
prived uf it. Jf ever it enteTcd his intention, considering circnrastaitces, to re¬ 
tire for awMfo to the territory of tbo Republic, yon will ensure, u much m in 

K ar power lies, the raallaallon of that wish, and you wilt assure the Pope that 
will experience from the French nutlun a reception worthy of them, end 
worthy also of the virtues of which he gave so many proofs. 

41 You are not authorii&d to interfere in any political question pending at

Of your in hi Lon. Measures have beun adopted to reinforce that brigade, if itc-

tions, if the National Aanombly shnnld consider them tndlapenjabla.” 

The brlgxdo of troops embarked at ifartelllcx immed lately on the receipt of a 
telogrrtphfii despatch from Parts, addressed to Us commander on Sunday. It 
had been quartered smno weeks jn the south of France, and wm to have been 
originally sent to Venice. Since then the brigade maintained on the war foot¬ 
ing bad bean constantly exercised, and was ready to embark at a moment's no¬ 
tice. It is commanded by General Mriifcrc, 

On Wednesday evening, a body of National Guards, amounting to 12,000, ao* 
companies by tho VI Mayors of Paris, waited on General Cavalgnac and ad¬ 
dressed to him expressions of esteem and regard for him personally, and of at¬ 
tachment tn tin* Republic. This proceeding has very much increased the hop^s 
of bfo frien d relative to bis election. 

The Government has adopted strong moasures against the Socialist dabs. 
Two of the most violent of them (those of the Itue Muuffatard nnd of the Run 
St. Antoine) have been closed by order of the Cour d’Aialses of the Seine, and 
eight of the most violen t Of the orators who figured In them have boon semonced 
to fine and buprlwnment, and to deprivation of their civic rights for two years. 

It if sill a that the Orleaufflts hava eudexvourud to aecertaiu the sontimente of 
the different indlviduala of that family In reference to the Presidency, and that 
the result* of their Inquiries are aa follows :—The DnchoaS Of Orleans is opposed 
to the candldotcshlp of Prince Louis, Louis PliHippo Is violently opposed to 
that of Cavtilgnoe, and makes no disguise of his preference of that of Frinco

Nemours and the Prince de JoUiville are neuter.

ITALIAN STATES, 

ROME .—REVOLUTIONARY PROCEEDINGS, 

Tire "Eternal City” baa boon the theatre of aUMtr&u* events. The new* 
of the assassination of the Prlmo Minister Rossi boa been confirmed. 'Ore 
crime was committed on the J &tfa ult. The Ul-foted man, who woa looked upon 
by the Ronrnus as a Reactionary, had exasperated thy people by threatening, 
au tho preceding day, to act vigorously against the disturbers of the public 
peace, and had insde'u great display of military force. 

The sudden arrival in Rome of ihe carabineers, the review of that body by tire 
Minister of-the Interior, tire subsequent military perturbation of Romo, and the 
report that they were to occupy the avenues leading to the Chamber of Deputies 
and the halls of the University, bad produced an unusual agitation among the 
people. The civic guard assembled in their respective quarters, and deputed 
their colonels to protest against the unmerited auspkkms of which they had 
been the object, ami against the menacing attltode which rhe Government had 


41.QO0 men. With respect to the aecond charge, namely, ihac ofiravtog ailow&d 
tire barricades to be formed without opposition. In order that ire m ight have the 
opportunity of destroying the whole of the InaurgODts &t one blow. General 
Cavafgnae stated that he had previously declared such to have boen hLa inten¬ 
tion, and that the subject was discussed and agreed to in a Lou ad I of Ministers. 
He further declared that he hud Intimated hSa plan to Generals Lamorlefere, 
Bede&ti, and Foncher, who approved of it. This jjlttii couaistcd in fighting tire 
insurgents in a pitched battle, and <n riffle: in eoiicoutratlng all the troops on 
certain points, which ho had prerioItaly dotoimined to occupy; of itifovr* 
Ing the insurgents to lake quiet possession of all the points which 
they chose; ahd of afterwords, hy a continued system of Bhnulbureoua 
attacks, beating tho Insurgents from their defences In "a rational manner. 
The third charge iff hostility and ingratitude to the Executive CarumtsMon, of 
which he wnw himself ihe minister, waa rebutted with equal success by t re 
Geirerol. Tire wall Inga of M. Gurnicr Fagfest on this score, and the rcpmsc!ie& ha 
throw nut ngainst the General V liiRratitude to that Gcwemment which had made 
him from a more M^jor-fteueral successively Governor of Algiers, Min later of 
War, CommflTidur-lii-Chfof of the Army, and supreme tieotl of tlto Government 
Itself, only excited Laughter. Tire Inferential charg© founded upon those, that no 
hud made tbo Insurrection subservient to bis own ambittoua projecte, of course 
foil to the grottncl, and tho refutation was complete. __ 

The first speech of General Cavalgnac, In reply to H. Bartlitfldiny St. Htldfe , 
pocupled notes* than rhrtre hours In tile delivery, made a great Impressioii 
on the Ajisombly. in the opinion of in my perrons preaent, who were not preju¬ 
diced in favour of cither party, his defence agulmit the attacks to which he bad 
been exposed was atriuuiphaut one. Tbo talent which he displayed, and the 
eloquence with which, for threo lung hours, he defended htuiself in an encounter 
which would have touted the powers of a man much more familiar witi] tire 
tribune than he is, surprised everyone? and he will henceforth hold hU place in 


was meditated on the occasion of the Opening of the Chambers, In the Clubs 
end cqffij these measures were loudly condemned, while printed blllfi wore cir¬ 
culated, calling upon tho civic guard to appear in uniform on the following day 
to maintain public tranquillity. Though not the rilgbteat apprehension wo* enter¬ 
tained that It would Ira disturbed. 

Unfortunately, an UI-advised article in the official Gcu&ic t containing a bitter 
attack upon the Chamber of Deputies, increased the excitement of tho people. 
The civic guard appeared in uniform, but tin firmed, a* they were, as well as the 
officer*, convinced that nothing reritm* would take place- Crowds had asaoni- 
bled opposite the Palace and In the adjacent square, but their belreviour was 
perfectly pacific, though serious and taciturn. The hour of the sitting had ar¬ 
rived, the tribunes were filled with spectators, the deputies had taken their 
seats. According to a new plan, the Chamber bad been divided into three 
parto—the right, loft, and centre. Four deputies only liqd taken their seats In 
the centre; all tire rest occupied the left . 1 he article of the Roman Gattite 
had determined even the Mfolaieriallets to rida with the Opposition. The fell of 
the Minister Rosai was certain, Oa life getting out of hfe ■ carriage to outer tho 
Ftdaco rdtbo Legislature, he wea hooted, and, having looked at the crowd With 
a sort of defiance, a man rushed forward and stabbed hitn in the throat. 

The Ronum correspondent of tire Ztai/p -tfrau, writing on the 15th ult„ thua 
describes the scene :— 

« The unfortunate Rossi had used last night language of a most Insulting na¬ 
ture with referenda te tbo democratic party and tire opposition generally. This 
morn tug he had lined the streets with carabhreens and cavalry, and with an air 
of defiance was proceeding to open the Chambers more like a dictator than a 
responsible functionary. Those who crowded round the gateway of the Cancel- 
Ifcria (where the textiles meet) came rather to bins and hoot than with any 
sanguinary project, when. In an evil hour, the Jfeuglity spirit of the Count sug¬

Tho intelligence this week from Berlin presents few feature* of Interest, 
All speculation as to the probability er otherwise of the M left’* of the National 
Assembly persisting in their resolution not to attend the settfoii summoned by 
the King to meet at Brandenburg, Instead of St the. capital, was set at rest on 
Monday last, the day fixed for tbe meeting, when the number of Deputies who 
assembled oKumnted to only 1M, which wo* 49 leas than that required to consti¬ 
tute a Chamber capable of voting. The Opposition absented itself masse from 
the sitting. 

Tho Ministry declined to lay tiia Royal message before an Assembly not le¬ 
gally constituted, mid the President adjourned the Chamber till tho next day, 
the 2dth. 

ft was expected that the Government WDBl ^ cal t up the substitutes of m the 
Deputies who hnvo not attended the meeting.

In Mylins's hotel were again dispersed tty the suldifeiy, und a quantity of ofiteLal

and 20Jo sabres had wet yet been given up by the Civic Guards, to whvm they 
were delivered out of the Royal dipM- A further term (the 27th, up to JS ml)* 
was, therefore, fixed for tho surrender of these weapons, after which period all 
ptjraom In po^eosion of them would be subjected to the preserved punlslimant. 
A reward Of 300 thalers (£4-5) was offered for the discovery Of the fabricators of 
false Prussian notes; the reward to be Increased to &0Q thalers (£75), If the 
moulds ware alw» captured. 

Amongst the rumours prevalent anaoug parties in Berlin who were supposed to 
be well acquainted with what was going on at Potsdam, there was one to the ef¬ 
fect that the King was resolved to grunt a constitution, the main features of 
which would be the fbUowmg: Two Chambers* one of Deputies (the electors for 
which, *S well as tho elected, most possess an Income of about £30 sterling), 
and the other* also an elective ona, composed of persons having un income 
Of £76.

The National Assembly* which, as has been already announced, had been 
summoned by the Emperor to meet at the tittle Moravian town, Kremsler, was 
epenod there on the 23ad ult. At ten o’clock in the morning a solemn service 
was performed in the Cathedral Church* by the Bishop orolinllte ; the National 
Guards were drawn out* and nearly all the members were present. At eleven 
o’clock the sitting commenced lu the auditory of the palace. Tho deputies 
were, aw nearly as possible, ranged as in Vienna, the Polos and ultra-German 
party occupying tlm loft, and tho Czechs the right. The Minister Stadlen rally

Diet at Vfoiuu. He affirmed that (he Diet, which sat en permanence, iind pro¬ 
tested at heod-qoartern In Vienna against Its transfer; but that no reply hod 
been vouehsstfea. The Assembly, ho said, bad resolved to meet oil the 13th of

Krem^ier, nut recognising by this act that efther tho Crows; or die Ministers had 
the right to transfer the Diet according to their own pleasure, lfa maxi, there¬

to transfer the Diet wheresoever It pirexea* tml* In order not to augment tho 
miseries of Vienna, provoked in the first instance by the ultra-democrats, and 
now by nltra-dlplonuuiate and military tofin, they had derided to tonse where

journed till toe 26th* at eleven c/dock; and no member having offered any op- 
1 posit cun* the House adjourned at holf-paat one,

Par! mment; also, to make no allusion whatever to the events of October, The

Advices have been received this week from New York to the 14th ult. They 
confirm tho anticipated election of General Taylor to tho IfGsideutial chair* 
notwithstanding that the official return* had not been yet givou ; of Iho result, 
however* there was no question, the returns showing already 1 St votes In his 
favour, while Mr. Coas had got but SiT. General Taylor bad tjmi secured hlx 
election with eight votes to spare* the number necessary to a choice being Mb

THE BURRA BURRA COPPER -MINE* 

FaouajtfLY* the records of enterprise present but few such extraordi¬ 
nary Instances of rapid success a & are to bo traced in the brief history of 
the mining localities of the newly settled colony Of South Australia, It te 
now but fourteen years since the country was first made X British province; 
and already* from lit mineral wealth, over und above its other natural re¬ 
sources, It has risen te an importance which has scarcely any parotid lu co¬ 
lonial history. 

The scone we have selected for illustration la tho most fumed of all these 
localities* being the Burra Burra Capper-Mlne, the news of the produce of 
which w«a ai first accepted as a sort of El Dorado dream, but has now re¬ 
ceived tile tallest confirmation. 

Air. M'llkhifton, towards the close of his valuable work on th&CelOity (recently 
published}* thus synoptical I y refera to the Mine:— 

“ The Burra Burra Mine is shunted about !K) miles from Adelaide* in latitude 
aa^^&outii, ami longitude 139° S r coat* bearing fram Adelaide north tty east. 
The company (formed in l&4b) set to work with only £2UQO as working cwpibil* 
and In Hie apace of three weeks from the purchasing of the min e had raised 
two hundred ten* of what was nstid to be a pure red OXldn of copper* They have 
new bulk a village, containing, in October, IM6, four hundred tnhabltiinta; have 
nearly completed smelting works ; have sutik to tho depth of 144 feet, and in 
length, measuring all the shafts and galleries* quo irnlb and a half* They have 
robed in one year no Ian than 720(1 tens of copper ore, worth* on on average, ut 
least £& per ton* equal in vdluo to £180*000, nt a coat. Including all expenses 
of preliminary charges* and also buildings and Improvements, of 6*624 

It la crated, too, that eight working rainera " earned £375, or nearly lire gui¬ 
neas a week each, during a period of ulnq weeks ; ivud that a Coraishmaii* whosa 
comrade had quitted him during hte temporary absence from the Mine, and why 
resumed his woi kings »lone, cleared ^5tl in tao mont hs. h± 

To describe the locality mom In detail ; tho Mine la situated In a kind of basin, 
about fifty acres lu extent, and surrounded by hills on every aide, except tbe 
Burro Creek, towards which thB ground slopes gradually* Near toe Creek ore 
tho smelting- house and charcoal stores : Rtid around them on: hula occupied hy 
mine™. Tiro miners lravo also, for wap; of houses, UtelO cavern* excavated in 
the steep banka of the Creek. 

Over ihe hill to the south of the Burra, and about a mile and a half from tho 
Mine* lies the township of Kauri; iga j It te pleasantly situated on toe fare ef a 
MU, on the western bank of the Greek ; and the road from Adelaide eaters the 
township by a small valley southward of this Mine* The first place of worship 
built at Kooriuga was a VVesleyun chapel; and among the earliest dwellings 
Were some stone cottage* urecteU by the .timing Association*

engine would open up. 

Mr. Burr, the superintendent, had introduced a moat admirable and method!* 
cal system, and had nearly cleared the mine of had characters. Us was well 
supported by Captains Roach and Bryan, whose underground operation* arc upon 
a most excellent plan. The mine was particularly well ventilated end well lim¬ 
bered. 


Two new lodes had Just been opened at the Burra Burra - t one of thorn, con* 
tabling the finest ore, was discovered by the workmen who were levelling 
ground for a new whim, Tho direction of the lode appeared to ho east of 
north. 

There is a farcify of timber in tho neighbourhood of the Burra Burra mines, 
which will be most MrtciEBly felt In the course of a few years, ThU, we are 
told, is the reason why smelting is not likely to succeed there. A gentleman 
farther north had commenced planting gum trees (fiOO) In the neighbourhood of 
hte chief station. 


By South Australian papers to the I Oth of June, the mining districts wore in 
active operation, and progressing satisfactorily. Tho directors of the Hurra 
Burra Mining Company had declared a quarterly dividend of 200 per cent, or 
£in per share on each £& paid up* payable ou the 1st of the month. Out of a 
capital of only £12,000, this company has, therefore, In on incredibly short 
space of time, paid the shareholders a clear profit of £73,000, and at the present 
moment is giving them a return for tho capital embarked to tho extent o 
£ 100,000 per annum. Tho prices of mining share* on tho ad and 9th of June

has realised a handsome fortune from his shares In tho Burra Burra Mine. 

Wa have, likewise, to record this gEutaeinan's honourable conduct in disposing

his deceased father, but those on the firm of which Mr. Graham, sen., was a

DEATH OF VISCOUHT MELBOURNE. 

In our Journal oi last Tvoefc we briefly announced the death 

of VJaeount 
Melbourne at 
Brocket Hall* 
mi Friday 
evening (last 
week), irila 
Lordship was 
taken unwell 
about six 
weeks back 
with symp* 
toms which 
were consi¬ 
dered by the 
ordinary me* 

dka! attendants to denote dyapepsy* and Ids Lonlehrp waa 
treated accordingly, without apparently any beneficial re- 
sul t. At length, Dr. Holland was summoned from London 
for his arl vivo* and the noble patient was considered some¬ 
what batter, when he suffered a relapse, and Jaundice of 
an aggravated form set tu, and he continued to sink 
hourly tip to Ida dissolution. Dr- Holland paid hia Lord¬ 
ship hia teat Visit on Sunday, the 19th ult., and then In¬ 
formed the relatives of his Lordship that he ronhl hold out 
nu hopes of ultimate recovery. On Wednesday, faint 
hopes were entertained that a favourable change In the 
condition of hia Lordship was perceptible; but in a few 
hours there was a relapse, and the noble invalid after- 
wards sank rapidly until death ensued. On Thursday 
night and Friday morning he waa momentarily expected 
to expire \ but ho survived until Friday evening, at a 
quarter-past six, when he ceased to exist. 

The family of LambViscounts Melbourne first rose Abovs 
tho rank of gentry through the elevation to the Baron* 
etcy. In I7*b, of Matthew Lamb* Esq,* of Brocket Hall, 

Herts, nephew and Joint holr of Pcntstdn Lamb, Esq,, of 
Llncoln’s-fim, The son of this Sir Matthew Lamb (Sir 
Itontoton Lamb) waa created, ill 1770, Lord, and in 17B1, 

Viscount Melbourne, in the peerage of Ireland, and In 
18lb Lord Melbourne In Hurt of the United Kin^om. 

The second son or that Peer, William Lamb, waa the Lord 
Melbourne who forma the subject of this notice, 

William Lamb, teconfi Lord Melbourne, was born the 
15th of March* 1779, 111 London. Hewent to Trinity Col¬ 
lege, Cambridge, and from Lhenco bo proceeded to Ola.*- 
gow, Whore ho continued hi* studies. In July, 1737, ho 
entered at Lin coin’a-ixm; and in November, 1804, was 
called to tho bar* His practical pursuit, however, of the 
legal profession was limited to a single attendance at the 
Lancashire sessions, in company with the late Lord Abin- 
ger (then Mr. Scarlett}* through whoso inthiyncu he re¬ 
ceived a guinea brief ; and he used to say that tho first 
eight of his name upon this document gave him tho high¬ 
est feeling of triumphant saUsriUcllon he ever experienced 
—very far transcending that which he euJoyed on being 
appointed Prim* Minister. 

Hie marriage and hia election for Leominster, in the 
year following U805}. led to big speedy abandonment of 
the law a.’i a profession; and during many years he ap¬ 
parent^ passed a cureless indolent life, divided between 
the gay circles of London and the House of Comnuitix, 

His marriage with tho daughter of the then Earl of Bes- 
borough, afterwards so well known as Lady Caroline 
Lamb, proved unhappy. Lady Caroline Lamb died in 
IMS, tho same year (n which her husband succeeded to 
his fkthoris title. A sou of this union, the Hon, George 
Augustus Frederick, died In November* 1*36. 

On entering Farliment, the late Lord Melbourne, then 
tho Hon. William Lamb* at once Joined the Whig party. 

As he advanced in liU career, the impression of his latent, 
though rofll talents* possessed the minds of the statesmen 
of the day* By Fox ho was chosen to move tho address 
for the Grenville administration* In answer to the speech* 
and he dll so most ably. By Canning Mr. Lamb was 
made Chief Secretary for Ireland ; and after a lapse of ' 
some year*, during which he acted n.somewhat Indepen¬ 
dent part in Parliament, tie, ft) l»3rt* hiving previously 
become a Viscount, took office with the Whigs ns Horn 
Secretary wider Lord Groy, His connexion, then and sub- 
ueqaemJy mull its passing, with the Reform Rill is too 
much a matter of recent history to be here detailed* 

When the Grey Government-, after the secession of Dio 
Conservative Whigs, re&tgned, Viscount Melbourne become _ 

Treasury, anil* with tho exception of a short Interval, remains 
When he was succeeded by Sir Robert Peel. Soon after this hia Lordship sank 
Into confirmed lit health, and his public lift closed. H|» mortal career termi¬ 
nated on tho H4th ult., at his seat, Brocket Hall. Herts, 
i Leaving no Issue, ho la succeeded In his honours by hia next brother* Fre¬ 
derick Baron Beanvote, an eminent diplomatist. In public Ufa* honest* 
straightforward* able* and ever well-intentioned ; In private, refined* generous* 
captivating, and friendly—ever in high esteem and regard with his Sovereign, and 
always recocted by the pooplo—Lord Melbourne leaves behind him tire memory 
Of one of those whom’the genius of British history will love to remember, as 
Itdvlmr been, whatever their policy* tho preserve!* of the dignity and character 
England. 

In rivaor’i ifagarint for tho present month wo find the following able and im¬ 
partial estimate of Lord Melbourne's political character :— 

“ Without having earned for himself the character of u statesman, Lord Mel* 


) First Lord of the 
dfietl so until 1841, 


THE LATE VISCOUNT MELBOtTftNE* 

FJtGM THE ** C OHO NATION 1 r PICTURE, BY Slit GEORGE I1AYVEK 


bourne exercised no Inconsiderable influence ever the contempurary politics of 
his country; nntl tin.; events of his seven years' adm in latrotton of public affairs 
must hereafter secure a prominent place for him hi our political history. 

" The same foresight of the national tendencies, the same independence of cha¬ 
racter, which enabled him to break from the Whigs and enlist under the banner 
Of tbs successor of Lord Liverpool, Induced him to accept office from Lord Grey, 
and to assume the post of Home Secretary during the Reform crisis. Tire beat 
proof of the general consistency of his character Is afforded by the fact, that his 
administration of that njfiec, at the time when the Whig Government were com¬ 
pel loti to assert tho authority of the constitution against persons who were as¬ 
sisting them, in another way, to sap it* foundations, rendered him very unpo¬ 
pular with the Radicals. He frankly accepted Reform of Parliament as a 'great 
fact,’ although from hia first entrance Into public life he bad been one of tito 
most steady opponents of that great panacea for all national evils. And whou he 
was celled on by the Crown to form A Ministry Jn tho year 1834* and afterward* 
In 1886, he conducted Its policy in such a manner as to lay himself open to the 


suspicion, among tho more violent of the Reform party, 
that he waa really bent on retarding* and not accele¬ 
rating, tho advance of the movement. 

4 * Lord Melbourne scarcely received hia full share of 
approval or esteem during his life. He had beau too 
closely Identified with the Whig party to allow of the mi¬ 
nute shades of difference between his principles* and 
theirs being perceived; and white ho seemed to leave 
the machine of the State to work on, upon the Impulse 
given from without, be wua ofiener employed in regulat¬ 
ing ft* action, and prevent lug convulsive displays of Its 
inherent strength. For this he waa reviled, with equal 
Ingratitude, by both political parties Jn the country* 

“ His social qualities endeared him to all who knew 
him ; and his private character—his frankness, and free¬ 
dom from all affectation or political disguise—very much 
Infused itself into hJLa public lift. His death has ecca* 
Atoned deep regret in the circles of private friends, and 
they are many." 


BROCKET HALL. 

Loan Melwikne possessed an estate In Derbyshire, 
bearing hia name; but Ills principal seat was Brocket 
Hall* where Jus died. This property, lying In the parish 
of Hatfield, Herb, was named from the ancient family of 
the Brockets* and waa conveyed In marriage by Mary* 
youngest, daughter and coheiress of Sir John Brocket, 
Knight, who died to October, 159a, to Thomas Raid, Esq., 
of Barton, in Berkshire. His grandson, Sir James Road, 
Barf., left two daughters, ro-hoLresBea * Lovp, the young¬ 
est* married Mr. Secretory Yftnntngton, from whose fa¬ 
mily tho manor was purchased by Sir Matthew Lamb* 
Bart., Cither of the late Viscount Melbourne. 

Tho ancient manor house hoa been tor many years 
taken down, and Ite rite is occupied by a noble brick 
mansion, commenced from the designs of Mr. James 
Paine* by Sir Matthew Lamb, and completed by the 
Peer Just deceased* The Hull la an extensive edifice: 
tlia principal front consisting of a centre* with a pedi¬ 
ment, and two wings* The Interior Is sumptuously 
fitted, end contains a collection of fine printings, A few 
years since, her Majesty and hia Royal Highness Prince 
Albert honoured Lord Melbourne with a visit at Brocket. 
Tho mansion is situated hi a beautiful park* through 
which flows the Lea, forming a spacious sheet of water j 
over this to a handsome bridge* also by Brine. Lady 
Melbourne Was much attached to agricultural pursuits* 
and had two experimental farina upon the estate, on 
the system of Ducket, 

Lord Melbourne was much beloved In tho locality. 
“ Nothing,” says the Dbifpiwr* "♦can exceed the regret 
which tho death of the noble Lord has occasioned to 
the neighbourhood. He took tho deepest interest to tho 
weifaro of lift tenants, end ever since ho came to re¬ 
side permanently at Brocket Hail, seemed to make it 
the great object of hia life to promote their prosperity 
Soon after settling there he asked Mr. Charles Latimer, 
the eminent and extensive agriculturist, in what way 
he could do moat good to the neighbourhood ; and Mr, 
Latimer baring answered, * By givfog employment to all 
Who need It on your Lordship'x estates,’ Lord Mel¬ 
bourne over since scrupulously adopted that gentleman'* 
suggestion. A bettor landlord never lived. Ho always 
practically, os well as in words* recognised tho rights of 
tenants, and never failed to express ms Unqualified dis¬ 
approbation of tho conduct of those landlords who oppress 
their tenants, either by requiring their votes for political 
purposes, or by exacting from them higher rents than 
they con afford to pay, *■

THE IXjLE STUATED LONDON NEWS, 


LONDON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1848. 

The question of tbe fearful insurrection of June bas been re-opened 
in MI its bitterness by the enemies of General C&vaignac* All 
the parties in France who look with unfavourable eyes upon the 
Republic, however dissimilar their owtf political aspirations may be, 
unite in their dislike of the present head of the Executive Govern¬ 
ment. For the last two or three months, the most odious charges 
have been whispered against General Cavaignac. The whispers 
finally shaped tbemsefvea into specific accusations ; and those ao 
cusatipns having found a member of the Assembly to give authori¬ 
tative utterance to them, General Cavaigrmc was bound to reply* 
The charge amounted in effect to a crime the moat enormous and 
disgraceful that could be committed by a public man ; and, if 
proved, would have warranted not only the immediate dismissal of 
the perpetrator from the service of the State, but the severest and 
most exemplary punishment that the laws of Ms country could in¬ 
flict;* M* Banhelemy St. Hilaire made the charge on Saturday 
last in his own name, and in those of MM, Garnier Pag£s, Duclerc, 
and Fagnerre ; and read from a printed paper, which had been pri¬ 
vately circulated, the incidents upon which it was founded* 

The various statements resolved themselves into these : that* 
during and previous to the days of June, the orders given to 
General Cavaignac, then Minister of War, under the Executive 
Commission, were not obeyed by him ; that if these orders had 
been obeyed, the insurrection would either have been prevented 
entirely, or would have been suppressed on the first day, without 
much bloodshed ; and that General Cavaignac purposely dis¬ 
obeyed these orders, and purposely allowed the insurrection to 
reach a certain height before he copod with it, in order diat he 
might exalt himself os the destroyer of anarchy, serve ihc purpose 
of his selfish ambition, and become the Dictator of the Republic. 
The non-obedience of orders by General Cavaignac was open to a 
less odious interpretation ; but those who adopted that view of the 
case asserted that the honesty of the General could only be as¬ 
sented to at the expeace of his capacity* General Cavaignac, who 
formerly had no character for, or pretensions to, oratorical power, 
astonished both his f riends and his enemies by the reply he made. 
He spoke for three hours, without the aid of notes—a circumstance 
of itself sufficiently remarkable in France, where extemporaneous 
speaking is the exception, and not the rule of Parliament, and 
with an eloquence which no one could have anticipated* 

General Cavaignnc met the charges both ways by the simple 
statement ttint when he accepted the dangerous post from the late 
Executive Commission, he stipulated for unity of command, 
and that J the measures he adopted were universally approved 
W military men as th© best and most effectual measures that could 
have been takes* Lie appealed for confirmation to Generals La- 
xnorici&re and Bedeaii* The speech was so precise and con¬ 
vincing, that even th© opponents of General Cavuigrmc, who spoke 
after he bad delivered It, withdrew the charge of treachery and 
personal ambition, and relied solely upon that of incapacity* The 
result was that the venerable Dupont de i T Eurj, the father of the 
Assembly, proposed that the Assembly should pass to the order of 
the day, "affirming, at the same time, its decree of the 28th of June, 
that General Cavaignac had deserved welt of the country. 1 he 
motion was carried by the large and decisive majority of m .votes 
against 34. It is generally considered that the character of Gene¬ 
ral Cavaignac lias been greatly raised in the estimation of his 
countrymen by this discussion, and that his chances for the Fresi- 
dency have t»een much incrtiascd by it. 

To counteract this advantage gained by lus opponent, M* Louis 
Napoleon Bonaparte Mis issued an address to the people, setting 
forth his principles and intentions. Thia document ia sensible and 
able, and could not fail, if people could believe it to have been 
written by himself, to impress all impartial men with a highly 
favourable opinion of Ida talents and his judgment. It is generally 
understood, however, that it woe drawn up by his friends* 


General Taylor, the conqueror of Mexico, has been ducted Pre¬ 
sident of the United States* Though J ‘ Rough and Ready,” as his 
countrymen admiringly designate him, acquired his reputation in 
war, he is, like all great soldiers, a man of peace* There is no 
reason in bis case to fear that he will in the high position to which 
the suffrages of his countrymen have called him lean to a war 
policy j on the contrary, judging from all that is known of him, he 
will devote the energies of his mind to the avoidance of quarrels— 
in this respect standing in favourable contrast with General Cass, 
his competitor for the Presidentship* Th© latter is a man whose 
prejudice are intensely anti-English, and who would, in all proba¬ 
bility, have contrived on some pretext or another to pick a quarrel 
with this country* Though General Cass is a Free- Trader, and 
the new President is a Protectionist, we think, uM circumstances 
considered, that, both for iha United States and for this country, 
the better of the two men has been selected. General Taylor can 
do no great harm in the question of the tariff-—at least, the proba¬ 
bility is some what remote ; wMle General Cuss might have pam¬ 
pered the greedy appetite of the Americans for the annexation of 
territory, to an extent which might have been not merely inconve¬ 
nient, but dangerous. General Taylor has been virtually elected, 
but the official declaration will not be made in the Senate until 
February next* 


The premature death of Mr* Charles BuIIer, M.P., President of 
th© Poor-Law Board, is an event that will excite general regret* 
Though colled away in the very prime of his manhood, his talents 
had been long known and appreciated, both by the Whigs, under 
whom he served, and by the Conservatives. Even his political op¬ 
ponents (and private opponents he never had) cheerfully acknow¬ 
ledged his eloquence upon all subjects upon which he spoke, the 
superior knowledge he displayed upon some subjects of th© highest 
importance—that of our colonial system more especially, and his 
general talents for high administrative functions. He seemed to 
be gradually rising in the service of the State, with new honour to 
himself Rnd new' advantage to his country, at every successive 
change, and to be destined both for a useful and a brilliant career. 
Ho has, however, been removed from amongst us ; and, in record¬ 
ing, as public journalists, the termination of his labours by that 
hand of death which spares neither genius nor virtue, wo give 
utterance to a very general feeling in Ml parties and ranks of life, 
when we state that no public man of our day was more universally 
liked nod respected than he was, or will be followed to th© g rave 
by a lincerer sympathy*

position of the society Is gradually becoming less and less satisfactory; and that, 
notwithstanding tho practice of the utmost economy, and the great and produc¬ 
tive industry of the Inmates, the present Income falls much below the expendi¬ 
ture, and has necessitated a recourse to drawing upon a email reserve fond of 
£400 in Exchequer-bill* during the last and the current your, In order to meet 
the necessary outgoings s no that, unless, public charity comes powerfully to i ts 
aid, another two years tlirenten tbe institution with an inability to proeaad.

vernor annually to these heap!tab be continued to the new treasurer, provided 
always such governors bo appointed do pay the sum of £50, as Is the custom in 
tho other Royal hospitals*” To that resolution Mr. Henry Kemble proposed an 
amendment, “That, during the presidency of the present. president, no altera¬ 
tion be made In tho privilege of tbe treasurer.” The opposition to tho original 
resolution was based upon the ground of its being undesirable to make any al¬ 
teration until the president’s death or retirement, The discussion lasted a con¬ 
siderable time* but tho question was at length put, and the amendment was ne¬ 
gatived by 22 to 8. The original motion was then carried, only one hand having 
been held up against it*

Volcanic EapfTicm.-^According to accounts j m t received from Bntevfa, * 
terrific eruption renently took place of the volcano Kloet* which had been Inactive 
for a great number of years. This unfortunate event spread desolation and 
death throughout the province of Bussarottan, one of the most fortifa nnd Bain- 
hrlotia d fair tots of Borneo. Th o eruption was preceded by frequo nt but Liregufai- 
detonations, which wore hoard at a very considerable di.rtuuco, For several 
leagues round the volcano, the sky appeurod covered with block clomds, which 
produced the thickest darkness to mla-day; thowera of buraing cinders were 
thrown up from tho crater, which fall within an hour afterwards on the sur¬ 
rounding country, burning fa cinders the crop*, carbonizing the plan tatluns* and 
ran florin g tho mmt tnxnriant pTntoa In the world rrn a rid dewrt. At the same 
time torrents of burning lava rushed from the sides of tha volcano, and Intm-

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT. 

Th, scientific public Suva been thrown Into « state of great esdtement by ills 
statements which have appeared concerning the electric light. Bolder* of gas 
property are suffering from a positive panic, and shoals of letters are dally sent 
from all parts of the country enquiring most anxiously about this new invention. 
The gas engineers are positively bosifigod ; and, jf we are rfahtiyInformed,works 
In contemplation have actually been postponed to ascertain the practicability or 
this ne w I nran tlon. All new applications, according to some philosophers, *‘ will 
mt do." Dr. Lirdner proved mathematically, that steamers could not crow tho 
Atlantic* but they have crossed it. Sir Humphrey Davy declared that London 
would bo blown to atoms If tho gas receivers were not surrounded with vast 
mountains or earth. The mountains* however, have not been raised* and London 
stands. Facts of this kind ora always quoted by inventors to show the fallacies 
Into which opposing minds may run* but they UiennsoJves forget Ufa fruit 
teas search after tho philosopher's atone* 

The pnbllc expect great things from electricity* and delight to re cive any 
now adaptation. Electro-metallurgy ran like wildfire through the country 
nnd the people are now eagerly watting for some other application. Some years 
since the American people were electrified by a newspaper announc Eng that It woa 
printed by electricity ; but unfortunately this boast was nntrue, and up to the 
present time no practical application of farce or light has been derived from 
electricity. Now the beauty of electric light la wetl known to scientific men. 
It fa the most lovely of all forms of artificial light, and a garden lit up by fra 
agency appears a paradise upon earth* und even aura all tight iUnminatea to 
excess a moderate-sired room. Ten years ago* Jacobi declared that ho kept a 
Urge saloon constantly illuminated by voltaic tight; but upon further Investiga¬ 
tion* the rumour, as far as an economical aud practical Application, was found 
to ba unfounded* and the subject dropped. 

Thedifficultlts attending the use of tho voltaic tight are two-fold: one a 
trifling mechanical difficulty at the point where the 3 (ghtis risible; tha other 
the expense and trouble of mnklug the battery where the power fa generated. 
The former difficulty has not up to tha present time occupied the attention ol 
sclentiflc men* because to their opinion the obstacles In the battery were Insur¬ 
mountable, This mechanical difficulty has been partially overcome by tho 
present patentee* Mr, Stalte* aa by Ills dock-work nrrangament tho difficulty 
which attends the disintegration of the poles hafl been lessened,* 

The more serious difficulty* ho waver* of the trouble and expense attending 
tho working of the battery* has been* Lu all the Accounts which wc hare seen* too 
much slurred over The public have a right to be fully satisfied uptm this 
point; but, notwithstanding all general statements of economy* this light cannot 
be regarded as a practical affair until a ini note description Is given of the kind 
of battery employed* tbe number of cells, which arc requisite to obtain the end* 
anrl the absolute waste in the battery per hour as deduced from direct experi¬ 
ment. We oiu afraid that the pofaonons fumes of nitrons goa* .which ire de¬ 
tected by their noxious odour, will for ever preclude the lutraduction of the 
apparatus Into the Interior of dwoning-housee* and certainly ihdr presence was 
anything but In favour of the probable success of the invention. 

A company may as well be formed to change lead into gold* a# to obtain light 
without change of matter. In obtaining light from candles* the tallow fa changed 
into water and carbonic add ; to obtaining tight from a battery, the sloe la 
changed lute sulphate of srine; or* where the nitric acid batteries ore omploymL 
changes are occurring at both poles of the battery—an effect which Is anllogmS 
to burning tho candle at both ends. ^ 

The economic production of force has been minutely considered in Smoe*s 
"Sources of physics." t which should ho read by all experimenters to these 
subjects, as be demonstrates the principles which regulate these phenomena. 
Mr. Since states that (p* I2t) "if we com para carbon ami hydrogen with xtoc 
for tho production of force, we find x wide difference to these respects - the 
equivalent or the latter being tlilrty-two times more than hydraguft* arid ifa 
energy of combustion with oxygen net so Intonse. 11 * 

Further on he states that zinc fa about KWQ times more costly than coals for 
the production of power, whence we may iufor that It will be about twenty 
times dearer than con dies* J 

This dJIforence fa not so great but that tho extreme excellence of the light 
might render it worth its Additional cost; and It Is Jtuft possible that in the bum- 
log of candies as much force may he wasted m the production nf host instead ot 
tiffht; far if much heat Inj generated in candles* and but littio to the voltaic 
tight, the latter may actually bo the most economical hi theory, 
lu these considerations wo have only a toiled ilm possibility of obtainimr the 
light at all In an economical manner, but * B must ant forgot tlie amoiTntnf 
labour and knowledge required te keep a series of batteries in good working 
order, a labour only sufficient 1y appreciated by ttufad who have actually nor- 
termod the feat, and which would be a serious bar to its extensive application, 
The Electric Light* however, hm ftnr warmest sympathies ; and, wlilfat wo fear 
that our frfonds tho gas-makers will continue their avocations for the next half- 
century, yet shall we rejoice if* at any cost, great national banquets or meat 
national assemblies such as the Howes ,<r Parliament, may be lllu min a ted by 
this moat perfect of all artificial lltouitoiiiora: but, until we are satisfied by 
more posit ive in formation as to its expense* we tuuat consider it as a costly mi 
perimentftl toy, ' 


NEW CATHEDRAL OF SAINT ISAAC, AT 
ST* PETERSBURG* 

Isaac or BALatATiA was the patron* In tho Greek Catholic Calendar, of Peter tho 
Great’s birthday; and, accordingly* tlie clmrch In the Naval Yard of the infant 
city was bnilt In honour af that Sitint-of timber simply, and with no preteitafau 
to beauty fir magnificence- by the Trar* who felt that hh successors would not 
have his manifest dealre neglacted. The hope was well fulfilled, for tho struc¬ 
ture which ho raised to stone* after fire had destroyed hlaflrat labour* gn™ way 
to I7C8, to oua of marble* more suited to tho fashionabla chapter which tta 
?uor/far had Obtained. Thfa bu 1 idtog* vy ry handso me oft tt sort, and resembl in g 
to style. St. Mary-le*Strand* sufficed till 1817 ; when the Emperor ordered the 
Chevalier dc Momferrand te design such an alteration as would give It an Im¬ 
portance worthy of the EussUn capital. Tiro principles Insisted upon rfa 
tearing the sanctified cast cud standing, and placing the dome ana two chief 
entrances facing new streets, were no slight problems—in tJia solution of which 
the architect may be said to h ave tboroughlyauccoedod. 

The arrangements for commencing (usual under that despotic N&fiJW-raighfc 
give usefal lessons to this country) were, to form on tho spot* os carefully as if 
Intended to endure* offices for the chiefs, residences for tho storekeepers am 
watchmen* foremen, clerks, and ossfatonfa* and spacious accommodation for tho 
artificers. Tlie yard contain** besides those, barracks for soldiers on guard 
storehouses, ami titles, machinery af all sorts, with ateam power, and immonso 
buUdlnea for tho purpose that everything worked on tho ground might bo done 
to a closed room, rhfa occupied one year; ro that tho fast first, 1 or* more 
properly, 41 foundation" stone, was not laid until August ft, im. The opera¬ 
tion consequent ou driving IC t 762pMea for a foundation In a damp soil liable to be 
overflowed* was tho work of ten engines during tho Bitccrodtog year. Then tha

Wo mutt not hesitate te say that A great architectural fault has been com¬ 
mitted* viz. that whereas to the cathedrals of Metro Dame and St* Paul tho 
ground occupied by the walls to relation te tha space tlmy toctodn hone-ttrenih 
and one-sixth respectively, fa this edifice* on the lowest calculation. It nmonnra

columns to the Regent's Quadrant), The balustrade ben63tli the figures la also 
bronzed. We should here remark, that the great number of brume capital*, 
tiaras* figures* and other ornamental details which are not gilt, Li too heavy in 
effect* atid not likely to accord with the rat of this remarkable building. 

The dome* which has a very beautiful outline, erf very high merit, la, Intomally* 
avowedly constructed on the principal ot that of St* Paul's; bat instead of timber* 
brick* cud stone* Uia Russian dome is of iron* filled In with vanes like our garden- 
pots, which the architect deemed the best mode of obtaining the Junction of 
strength with lightness. Externally, it la covered with bronze, divided by 
twenty-four bold riba, and gilt in three thicknesses of leaves of sterling gold. This 
operation was entrusted to the supervision of three of the principal gilder* of St* 
POtersburgb* who rej ccted every leaf that showed any, however slight, defect on 
being tested. The gilders worked lu glass masks, with air-tubes like an 
elephant’s proboscis down to tho knees, to avoid the effects of the mercurial 
amalgam; the electro process not having been then discovered* Deprived of the 
easily imagined effect produced by the reflection of the sunlight, this ovoid of 
pure gold relieves Itself at twilight In simple majesty against tho ornro sky i but 
its greatest glory la at night, when a thousand sparkling lights art constellations 
surrounding the tar-beaming emblem of our religion. 


In the construction of the dome* there were used, of copper tons; of brass, 
32l± tonsi of wrought iron. 534| tons t of cast iron, JOG* bona; and Of ducat 
gold, 847 lW(1.a> i 10,000), 

The raven portals of the Church wQl bo bremtod by the process already men¬ 
tioned* Three of these doors are 30 Joel high and 12 font wide; four others are 
17 feet high and ft feet wide. They contain fid boa-relief*, 63 statues, end M 
attn-rellefo, of religion* characters and & abject*. Thu doors shut against a mid¬ 
dle pilaster of vine-leaves and irnlts. 

Tho Church Is placed with the altar st the east end ; and the principal en¬ 
trances are from the north and south, u above mentioned, a fault chargeable 
solely upon the ritual and the site* 

Interiorly, the Cathedral is divided into a Creek cr<w* with tho dome, aa 
asuikl, at tho centra, and four square chapels, each surmounted with a campanile, 
at tho angle*. Amongst th* more striking decorations are 40 bronxo angola 
each 21 foot high. The centre nave i» 175 foot long, and &3 wfda ; the total 
length, 27H foot; the total width, 153 foot; ornamented nt the east end by an 
Iconostasis* or alutr-Kioan, 150 feet long and 70 feet high, of wldts marble* 
encrusted with p&rphyfy, jasper, and other precious stones, and enriched with 
eight CorinLilian column*, 43 feel high, of malachite. Thla semen* serving to 
abut off the uiBcUumea, b usually much adorned; and In this case the throe 
screens will contain 323 work*, by 28 different artist*. The iconostasis, or image* 
bearer, stands on three steps of red porphyry; and tho doors, into the chancel, 
35 feet high ami 11 feet wide, not very unlike that of the portico engraved, will 
bo of silver* 

The great bell Is made of womont and recalled coin, weighs 1&Q0 ponds* and 
In diameter Is about & feet. Tho turgor bells are all of a similar pattern as to 
form, though the embellishments differ. That <the larger) represented boars 
five ornaments* via. Tetor. Catharine II., Paul, Alexander* and Nicholas. 
Altogether, there are eleven bolls, weighing 47ll| ponds, equal to 152,860 Uhl. : 
they are all fixed* the clapper* only moving. 

The pictures throughout the Cathedral, at prerant are only In oil; but It fa 
Intended to replace them with morales, after tho name designs. They are In 
three tiers* painted im a gold ground* In most glowing colours, before which 
a profusion of massive silver tamps are pend cut from the celling. 

The dame is 60 fret diameter, 286 feet to the cupola of the lantern* and 332 
eet to the top of the cross. The column* of the portico, 6 fact 6 Inches diameter; 
63 feet C inches high; and, with tho entablature— U feet 6 inches by m feet 6 
nches—equal to 78 feet in height* 

The extravagant use of the rich materials employed, careful skill w ith 
which the architect I Lao fulfilled his task* the excellent feeling for decorative 
art with which he has embellished this Cathedral of the Russian capital, and 
the brief spore in which ho has erected the lofty pile, must ever render the 
Church of St. Isaac one of Die most striking edifices of the nineteenth century.

The person Ei#e represented is Bonier Anal©, and not the Bur¬ 
gomaster Six* S described in tha Orleans Collection, which was sold m 
1795. 

The Picture before us was bought at Stowe on the tweaty*fcnrth 
day's sale (September 15th, 1848), by Mr, Farrer, of Wardour^tre^ 
for the sum of £850 10 s.) who has, we believe, relinquished it to Lord 

Portrait waspaintedin the year 1637, the year in which Smith, 
in “The Life of Rembrandt ” in his “Catalogue of Painters/ says, the 
master “again appeared with increased splendour ” Rembrandt was at 
this time 31 years of age, in the middle of his life. It is in the finest 
manner of the master ; or, as a entic m the Athaupum remarks, * it is 
one of his moat elaborated life-sized (studies, It has a rare union of 


flniah and effect, Its tone is gorgeous, and its touch careful and trans¬ 
parent” 

This Picture has been engraved by Guttenburg ; and there is an 
Etching of Ando, by Rembrandt himself. 

Opportunely enough, wa have just received from the publisher a 
handsome tribute to the genius of Rembrandt by a distinguished living 
Artist,* As tho work readied us atalato hour, we can only quote 
from the flection upon * Colour” the following admirable observations 
upon Rembrandts Portraits, in comparison with those painted by 
Reynolds 

The number of portraits Rembrandt pointed of himself U a proo fof the little

Josh un*,* hand we have but two or three while from liembrandt’a wo have 
nearly fifty. Yet, with all tho deficiencies in tho art of making up a bcautlfu 
ace, Rembrandt frequently produced portrait of great feminine beauty: wit 
ness « The Lady with the Fan," In the collection of the Htfqals of Westminster 
and " The Lady," in the RoynJ Collection. Rad he get the flame models of fe¬ 
male beauty that Titian and Reynolds hud, he would, Jn ail probability, hart 
transferred them to the canvas with the some truth and In tenseness of feeding 
that guided hla pencil In other matters. Rembrandt's stylo was that which 
would have stilted Oliver Cromwell, who, when he sat for hla portrait, made It a 
line qud non that tho painter should leave out neither warts nor wrinkles. The 
same truth and verisimilitude that regulated hU forms, guided his eye with re¬ 
spect to colour. In hfa earlier pictures, such as “Tho Ship-builder/’ in the 
Royal Collection, there Is a greater degree of hardness end solidity of pigment 
than in Uls later works, which possess more the suppleness of flesh. This is also 
to ho observed In the later works of Titian. Velasquez, Mid Reynolds, and in the 
later works of our Scottish Vclaaque?.—Raeburn. The portraits of Gainsborough 
possess this In a high degree. What haa been said with regard to KeinhrMid 
laying on big colour? with the palette-knife, Is very much exaggerated. Many 
of his heads are as smooth as Reynolds’s, and finished with great delicacy and 
precision; la fact, tho versatility of Ills genius, and the wondorfh! command 
over his materials, from indefatigable practice, have given both hla pictures and

amt Lithographed by John Brandi!* Published by Lloyd Brethora* 

This Is a pair of charming work*, both as regard* subject and artistic treatment. 
They are essentially domestic in character and interest, and on rhfr account will 
doubtless become wry popular. Thu original of the 14 Sunday Morning" was one 
of Mr* Abiolou’a contributions to the New- Water-Colour Printoni’ Exhibition or 
the present yarn. The scene U a county church-yard, In which are grouped 
villagers of nhuost every ago and degree—from the Squires, in their laced hats 
^d illktm how, to these who 


Poor, yvt ludualrt^EU, uuxts* t + ijjfuct. noat. 

The costume Is that of the latter half of the last century, when three-cornered 
hues. long and full-skirted coats, daunting straw huts, and mob-caps, lent a 
picturesque grace to many a crowd Of Strcphmis and Peggys. Wo Imitate their 
quaint (Wifens In the present dny, as a relief to cold French taste* Mr. Ahsoton 
ha* ttimed tha Old cO*tu r to to excellent account, and his group of villagers la 
worth a score of pictures from Longcbamp*. There Is abundance of Lnddant 
In the churchyard, perhaps in excess, which gives it the fifcaracter of portraits of 
** the Seven Agoj of Man. 1 " A group of rustic children, playing upon an wlrar- 
tonib, form a capltil centre ; and their llsttessnesa contrasts well with the prim 
child of tbs better dta, led by her father In the path to tho church porch. 
However, we treed not Individualise the merits of the composition, as the picture 
Will, doubtless, be remembered. 

The original nf tho companion lithograph, *■ Thread the Needle/ 1 MkflwfsQ by 
Mr* Absalun, has also been exhibited* It is ajoyous picture of the old English 
pastime, v^yed by some score of children of 41 a larger growth/' in costume of 
artistic cut. The music Is & pipe played by an old man, and a tabor by hte shoe- 
leas son* The players are spirited and UfodJfce, wllh here and there a spied of 
village coquetry* 

The* lithographs arc large lu size (each 34 Inches by Ift). They have been 
very effect!reiy executed by Rrandard, and very nicely printed by Hohnirt,

FOREIGN MUSICAL NEWS* 

(From our own Correspondent.) 

Faria, Wodnesdap Night. 

On the day that the news arrived of the Fop^s pitiable plight, and of tbs 
orders given by the French Government for troops to depart for Civita Vccchte, 
there ™ a great c&tmjtropho for Italy in Parts* by the closing of the Th&ttra 
dea Italians. Yea. tho tamed Italian Cpara of tho French caplud, in lean than 
three mouthi from the opening of the eeajjon, lias closed its doors* and some 
hundred© of famiUea ore deprived of bread ; for* although tho principal elnoers 
were lialians, tlie band, chorus* and numerous employis wer© French* The reign 
of « Llbcrtd, EgaHtf!, and Fratsmlt^" fins boon fatal to Use locaBty whore onca 
fkshfon most did congregate. I arrived in time to he in at the death—to be pro- 
aeiit at tli© last representation. Alia l how altered tho aspect of that onco 
brilliant theatre—tho SiUlo Vuntaduur, What a change in the toilettes of tha 
company ] what odd pomrnis were seen fn the best places of the botuse! TIjo mag¬ 
nificent dreasra of the ladles, with tfielr display of costly Jevi ell try ami ornaments* 
wore no longer risible: everything locked dull* dfngy, and dreary. 

Tho opera was Donizetti’s « Marla di Bohan ffi and, iw fate decreed, two d^5tz- 
tantu appeared for the first time, and for th© last, unless H. Dufeuro (the MI- 
nJstOr) will have pity* and grant a sum of money to keep the theatre open, at 
ItaM for tills 0 OUPU. Jt was Madame lloticonl who was the Aforix —a port 
which she rang at tho Royal Italian fJpci a. Her talents are only adapted for 
the conceit-room. She owed a good-u.itured recoptlou to the genius of her hus¬ 
band, who, In CSteiVMuc, quite electrified tho audience by his wonderfully Im¬ 
passioned acting and singing. His lust &eeno has, to my mind* paver been 
equalled, except by the eider Kean In iho third act of “ Otliolio.” ftoncoai was 
overwhelming In th© display of combined rage* Jealousy, and despair. Tha 
tenor Bordas, in the lover, w as not wanting In energv, but his voire B not first- 
rate, and hte style fa defective. The new eootralto, MdLle. Meric, fa a charming 
singer. She played AlbonPs part of Condi. It was her first appearance on any 
stage, and « more triumphant on© has rarely been witnessed. She is about 
twenty* and is handsome* with ati easy and graceitol deportment. Her voice fa 
of extensive compass, oomhhiUig the regfatera of the mezzo soprano and con- 
traito, rich and round In volume, sweet and sympathetic in quality. Her me¬ 
thod fa raw; but where nature has been so bountiful, art wiU soon follow to 
give the ftufah and poifah to tha stylo. It fa a long time tlnco I have met with 
such a pro miring &but. 

On the borrora perpetrated by band and chorus I shall not dwell: the 
” rotton state ofDonmark ” was uninfatakoabld ; and the thorongh indepeo- 
dene© of tlie foaupe proved that tho culls on th© treasury had effected a revo¬ 
lution in discipline. The porfonuaneq wan on Saturday, On Monday, II. 
Dupio, the lessee, issued ids decree to close. The arOstes aro trying to huvo 
another director, la order to open again : and na it fa an axiom, that there are 
alway* speculators to be found mat) enough to start a newspaper, or to open a 
theatre, perhaps tho shutting of the IteuafawjK!© dooro may not b© final. Hot 
people are ttpttttltloiu ? the fall of tho Pope simultaneously with the

Mdlte. Lavoye, Mdlte, Havilly, M. Audrau, and M. Jou/dan-are good, but not 
great; but It fain the pei-feoriqti of the Ensemble that is found tho beauty of thfa 
opora. Halevy’s music fa deheious, full of quaint and elegant mebdlea* scored 
with consmmnntc skill, ©nd. In tha concerted pieces, rising, at times, sublimely 
in dramatic intensity. If is a great work In ©very sense—pictorial* dramatic, 
and musical. If I am asked whether tlie “ Volley of Andorra” would

that your London critics* find tho opera ** weak," when, In reality, it fa tho very

NEW CHURCH OF SAINT PAUL. OAM- 
DEN-SQUARE. 

This noble edifice has been completed, or nearly ao + aa 
regard* the exterior i bnt we regret to loam that a consider¬ 
able mm la still requisite to defray the expense of the in¬ 
terior fittings. Yesterday week, a public meeting of the 
Inhabitants of the locality In which the Church is situated 
was held at the temporary church, for the purpose of rawing 
a sufficient fund for the completion of the great work. The 
Her. Thomas Dale, tbo Vicar of fit. Fancrss, presided, and 
was supported by the cloigy of tho district, and from 800 
to 400 of the inhabitants, members of the congregation of 
the temponilT church of St. Paul. The Rev. CMnnan 
addressed the meeting, end explained that the whole ex¬ 
pense for tho erection and completion of the Chnrch would 
be £&ma i of this sum, £3&G0 hod been already subscribed 
and paid, leaving a balance of £4743 required. Of this 
sura, there was no reason to doubt that they would have 
assistance to the extent of £2000 from tho Incorporated 
Society and the St. Pancree Church Building Fond; tt w«a 
believed that the fittings, &c„ of tho temporary church 
would realise about £700; thus leaving the actual sum re- 
mired tube raised for the completion of the Church, £2000. 
And, if £1000 of this sum could be raised before December 
16, the Committee would be enabled to complete the edi¬ 
fice; and the builder would allow the remaining £1000 to ha 
paid by Instalment* passing over a ported of two years. 
The Rev. Vicar concluded with an earueet appeal to the 
meeting, and at Us close the subscription amounted to 
several hundred pounds. Wo are happy to record this pro¬ 
mising result, and hope the requisite sum for tho completion 
of the Church will bo raised within the ensuing fort¬ 
night.

clerk had become tho raort violent Republican in the phree. The club 
had elected him pmSdcnt. Tide deceit went to my heart; ! retired front

even repented of hit work, but it was too lata—the club was stronger 
than he. Every evening, by way or relaxation, they demanded his head

th ' strength to mnl. The abolition of taxes, the disorganisation of the gtmdar- 
merie,m general execution of all the clerks of indirect taxation was demanded. 
This rebellion of the wills even extended to acts; their rcccipls became ufK 
certain, and the revenue vow compromised, But on no point did the ctab 
exerci** its power with greater boldness than on the chapter of dlsmWs* No

One evening, after a walk in the country, l returned home ; it was the rime 
of our family dinner. Tho fresh air had enlivened me, and Hooked with some 
pleasure on the modest repast spread before n*. No cue could turpos* my wife in 
preparing things well and economically, 1 to about to enjoy the fruits Of her 
ca e^. when some one ashed to epoal with me* He was brought In, and gives

■* You wUlflee,” I replied, "they will have advanced mo without my asking 

f °StrW to this belief, I begun to road aloud, wham* at tho two first lines, sur¬ 
prise and alarm stopped me. A cloud obscured my eyes; the sound expired <m 
my lips. 

" What la it, Jerome?” said Malvina.” 

♦' HcrOi^ I replied, giving her the fatal paper. 

She had greater self-command than I, and read aa follow®:— 

<■ cmxxN,—The mission of the Republic is to purge the adnitolatraUve llstei 
and to a trike out all name* comproiniKsd under tho fallen munorchy. Yours i* 
one of them; It 5s one of the worst of the days of patronage. 

*' I have therefore decreed your dismissal,, end grunted your office to the

“Health and Fraternity!

*■ Himself, Jeraine. There it Is in full. M-: It I* not so difficult to read." 

“ It would make one doubt in the Republic,” 1 replied, raining my indignant 
looks to Heaven, 

« The reign of intriguers* Jerome; what did I tell you P Murder a mao from 
behind, like the Indian bandit* I That Is like them*" 

"Such m outrage to mol ** 1 said, indignantly. 

" And why not, Jerome f What have you to complain of? You have the right 
to 1 [*e„ The country’ allow* you that," 

I dared not reply; her Irony overwhelmed me. How could I defend myself? 
I had myself called down the thunder which struck me, I had pronounced my- 
sell for the Rep a bite a gainst the Monarchy, when the Utter wart standing and the 
formor In tho dorkncaa of fttiurfly. Tot the Monarchy had given mo bread, and 
the Republic took It from me. What a grievens and distressing contradiction 1 
I won struck dumb by It. Malvina did nut strike people when they were down; 
she came to encourage mo. 

«Jerome," she Mid, “ it is no two to give np: courage mj friend, courage; 
the blow ts hard, hut it doe* not kill. Resides, yuu have two children, and I 
have no wish to present them to their fatherland; It feeds town too badly. 
Therefore you must act." 

■* l am ready, Malvina i yon shall see if I don’t speak boldly to tho Com-

" As for him, I will manage him* 1 will make him move. But ho la only an 
Interior saint. Let us apply higher, Shull 1 give you good advice, Jerome ? " 
"Speak, itaMha."

“ If you wish It.” 

“And, a* for this fat Coramt®*aTy, never mind him; I Will speak to him” 

AH object Ion wa* useless when Mal vina had determined. Resides. Bhe was 
right ; It was our onlv resource, The dinner wan sad* and the evening was 
spent in preparations for ileparturc- My wife wished to accompany me to tho 
coach to givu me th© last Instruction®; and, a* she embraced me. she said 
if Your sitnatinn or wart take no leu than that—unless they offer you a. better

« That la a matter of coarse*” 

« Above all, no wavering. And make the Provisional Government understand 
that i turn to them only on that conditou. They may tike It or leave It,” 


CHAPTER IV* 
uepiiblican Vi runes. 


Wiriti I arrived in Paris. I Installed myself in the moat modest hotel, 
which, however, 1 dina© so that I was In the centre of my operations. From 
thence I could more easily go to places where my presence might be necessary* 
A delicate question ™ to know whore to Apply first- Before trying the mom* 
hern of the Government, it might be wise to aoimd those who influenced them, 
and to obtain their assistance. I determined to follow this plan* 

Among the men whom the storm hod raised, to their ow’d astonishment, cm to 
the steps of power, was one with whom I had once lived iu dose Intimacy* Wo 
hod entered on literary life together, and drunk of the flame cup—of mtef r- 
tune. It is true that events had separated ns since then; bat I did not doubt 
that he had remained faithful to the memorfe® of our connexion- Besides he 
had only a secundary name in the new calendar, liia tities coml&Efiil of three 
unread volumes, wherein ho had displayed tho talent of Dthera,aud compiled 
for the benefit of the Republican dogmas. 

My old friend lodged at on© of th© summits of the learned town, near tlie 
schools, and within reach of a library, whence he drew the elements ©f his book 
and of his dinner. His bachelor's hall was most simple and bare; but ho filled 
It by his majesty, and decorated It by his importance- I cannot doscribe tho 



solemtJlty of hU recaption- He was no longer the some man; the Revolution 
had transformed him. Ho carried his head Hko a holy emblem, and wrapped 
himself In hi* dressing-gown with so much superiority, that It was impossible 
not to dlstingiiijih in his look and manners the Influence of a revolution. I per 
reived it mere by tho reception ho gave me* ami by his wonderfol speechas- 
■■ Do not speak of It, my friend,” he said. “ I havn not slept now for ton days. 
The country counts upon in© to organise it. Ten have the P©™, and hive not 
ideas enough for one. Ifa a Court of Confusion, FuMirot; it Is indeed. No 
pljin, no unity of purpose; nothing great, nothing fitting. Heaven knows what 
would become of them H we did not help them. Fortunately, we are hons*' 
During the whole hour of our Interview nothing could destroy th© frond opi¬ 
nion this man had of himself. He mressantly recurred to what bo hud done nml 
wh* f he hod to do. If the monarchy had vanLbed like April snow. It was In 
oonsequenco of his works ; if tiic Republic had been ealablished without oppo- 
rtStlrsTi, It wo* because he hail philosophically and didactically proved Its pre¬ 
eminence over all Other forms Of civilisation. Of tito Government, otte had 
thought too much of the revolutions of the heavens, to know anything of what 
happens on our earth; the other was of that oIasa of old men who refuse to obey 
the sentence of Mge, and whom the peopla of Sumatra piously help to salt, 
pepper, and citrons. Ha waa an inexorable satirist, who except- d no nuiue, no 
fame, hum condemnation* and tonnd uq on a to admire &xc«pt himself* 

In other cErcninstance* these sketches from nature would have Interested me, 
and ihe sight of this nmm *elf esteem would have added to tho enjuyintmt. But 
my bu tines* lti Purl* was mmo seriou*. I tried to bring back my protector , and 
to Indure him to sure mo after having saved the empire* 

Rut it wji> in vain tolnwist; I could only get v&gne promise!; my Eton escaped 
from me when 1 thought I held him fust* 

” Yes* my friend” he said, 11 we will think or that. But for to-day wonmst 
uttend to the affair* of Berlin. TheIdea of that movement Is mine, a* a histo¬ 
rical necessity*" , , _. 

Praesla carried awav the speaker, and, for ton minutes. 1 could get nothing 
from him. H© thought himself obliged to explain to me what he proposed to do 
with all the great and little margrave*, the kingdom*, and the princedoms, I 
could scarcely stop him at last, a* he was creating the Llbe to invade Hauover. 
“ A few words to tho minister from you,” I said, to bring him back to his atih- 

^ “Of course, of course,” he replied, with the airs of u caliph ; "I will think 
About It. But you toe, Faturoti my anxiety just now—would yon like to know 
It?" 

“ Most glndly,” I said. t . * „ _ ... *. 

“ It la Polmid” be continued* “ I don’t yet know what we rimU do with It* 
For my part, 1 am vary lenient- Poland may rely itpun me. There are ties, 
affinities, title© of friendiihlp between her and France. It ta a debt, and, 1 
would gladly pay it. It would he great to do what Napoleon did not do. But ] 
am grieved to tedl you that no one undeMtands this question—no eno* The 
great* the grand problem, *a to sep&rufe the Slavonic fn>m the Germanic 
dement.” 

I did not think It necessary to watt for the resolution; my dose of patience 
and of resignation was exhausted. At the momem when my interlocutor com- 
nnmeed a definition of races, imd prepared to show me the beauties of 
FansUvon^m. I msc.tmd took my hat. Ho was not movEd, btiJ followed on to th_e 
ilalnt to tell me Unit he would look after the position of the Tronaylvuniaus and 
the Bulgarians* * . , ^ ** _. 

I hatl to renounce this medlatlcii. and return to slippior means—to direct 
application. The subject was only it shoplfl reparation for a supreme lulquJly. 
Some explanations would audfioe; were wo not under a rule of tiuto and Jus¬ 
tice? This cocselommcM emboldened me; and 1 fit once directed m> stepi to 
the hotel of tho miuhitcr of the department. My plan was to apeak muddy to 
him, and make him thp arbitrator of my fate* , 

I arrived at the hotel of the minister with the hope, It must 
finding some compensation. But 1 was curious to know Row these Improvised 
Borereigim hi tod their parts. I Imagined them at oitcn rimpto ttad mtodfied, 
modest In exteTlar* and great In action i above all, original, and separated from 
the paat by s. wide abyiw* 

[ Vf'as thinking tills m I ascended the steps of the hotel, when a carriage drove 
rapidly out, and stopped at the entrance. The cnswnWr waa perfect, with the 
finest horse h, brill font harness, and tho choicest of rWl anything an 

perfectly arranged. It wns nee«aary to reiurn to the traditions of the Court, and 
hot Bvek of the last- " Wh&L foreign ambassador 1st hte T* thought L drawing back 
respectfuRy. A gentleman hi black stopped from tho carriage; I reco^hted my 
minister* His uccretary received from bis handa a lei motocco portfolio, and 
followed him a* a macc-beoror would have done- Tho norvauts atood to line, 
and tile guard presented arms. It was according to Iha strictest lawn of cere¬ 
mony. Oh 1 power of tradition, behold thy prodigies l Flag-stones are tom np, 
thrones foil: thou survives! thrones and dag-stones 1 
I ascended the stairs behind the glorious minister^and marv^ed taat uc hod 
in ro short n time taken i he manners and aire of office. Cre^ ofj^pUcarita 
filled the waltiDg-rooRifl; lie crossed them with rare tto^eaty atid wonderfol in-- 
difference- His look expressed impatience and dLsdwla; he seemed annoyed at 
having so large a auEto around him, and yet it was a necessaiy OCCCasoty* Who 
has a carriage has courtiers; all greatness must expiate- But thomtirdHterwaa not 
very ceremonious ; ho brutally dismissed the disappointed crowd. Tho audience 
was postponed, and the hall hail to he cleared, Under the fallen these 

ftccldents were not rare, but there waa at least some civility exercised. Since 
tho Republic, the ushers thought it necessary to ridB© their voice® to the het^m 
of events, and hide tito faulte of their prigJn by a borrowed rudeness. Tlraa they 
paid the wages of the Revolution. _ . ... 

Tfor ttceTconsconUTe Hay* I nrcsental nty*e!f ut nuHenc wllh- 

out being more fortunate. Under one pretext or another 1 wa® tavariably 
put off- And yet more favoured applicants succeeded before uiu lh©y 
entered with hat on, and carried tho entrance with unequalled boldness* 
Sometimes triumphant oath® crowned the w r ork and Jiistircd Ua BUcce&s. 
They had not tise least m anner nor respect, and spoko of the minister 
In familiar terms; and if he refused to aee thorn, they even employed 
threats. It was shameful to 1» neglected for anch fellowe. Even Uieto dress 
wos unsuitable* Some wore & sword on a citizen's dress, othorfl ft red scarf. 
Some turned the w aiting-room into ft smoking-town, and only consented to give 
up the cigar at the ilcor of ihe closet* Anti yet they neglected nfi for them* 
Among tho unfortunate being® damned to the warn© f tie ns I, t hod remarked 
an oia man* hale and hearty yet, whose perseverance si rack me. Mlsfortunu fa¬ 
miliarises people, and we were soon friends- ConveisfttiQtia ta whispers helped 
us to pas® the tim©, and my Interl^utor enlivened them by M® sallle®. 

"Thu continuation in the next number," he generally said, whoa the usher 
announced our dismissal. * * 

Thus w© took our time patiently, and revengedoureelvefl by innocent ©mpamB. 
“Neighbour,” I sold to him one day, “the measure 1® filled. Three blows i*

and parties tout with walking dre*<te, Simple garments of doth, cashmere, 
and sometime* of velvet, am worn for the morning. Nearly ail are Abort* rather 
scanty, though not tight to the figure; tboy have sleeves, and a small collar to 
stand up or lie down. Tito groat fancy for the moment is the par-dtitut of 
cloth, Carmelite, chesnnt, or snuff-brown; they are trimmed with gimp, &c : 
they are also famished with little pocketa on each side, far ijockm-bodk or 
handkerchief. 

For taiiettej TtdbMfi, rich velvet or satin cloaks ora made; f£cy trimmed 
with embroidery, gimp, fringe, end often with lace. Vary pretty mantles with 
eIootm* ornamented with braid will 3nee, are nmdi admired. They are fastened 
up the front by small buttons, attached with little gimp buckles* 

For morning calls, a great many pelisses of plain stuff are made, trasaed in 
front, with a ssah slightly drawn, and closed toy a small buckle. At the edge 
of tho bodice and skirt there In a trimming of the same material, out or fes¬ 
tooned i In the centre of which am buttons or pebbles, joined together by a 
email chain. Velvet buttons, or those of side, fortunately take the place of 
tovtim d ptare, and are decidedly of hotter taste, though less attractive. For 
ttUetfa dresses of very rich damask with wide atrlpos separated by 

lunittffal wtefttlw brocaded In tWo colours, are worn by ladles of high fashion. 
The bodices are uniformly worn high, though rather open up the from. The 
skJriB are still made very fall, but they arc shorter; the hem should be At least 
five or sis inches wide. As a toiktu dt fanfaitie plaid or striped allka 

are worn, with sleeves and bodices on tha cress. Nearly all rbese toilea* 
dmss.es are decorated with t» It buttons, braid, or gimp 5 and the sleeve* 

are nearly nil open at the wrist, so ns to allow large puffings to escape. To 
refers ifopWjsSn, embroidered mud in puffin ga are added j to those Of doth, simple

Th& actlvit/of lost week tana been followed by acme Inset ion In the dramatic

tliia side of Christinas, Inasmuch as the preparations for Uto pantomimea nad

The WcEtni brought out a little piece on Monday called " An Appeal to the 
IhsbHc* 1 being 4 voiy pleasant adaptation of a French vaudeville. '* Sons one 
Fort&Cfctthferc" Tire plot consists of a light well managed; but the 

chief fan Is derived from dm opportunity token by >lr. Charles Mathews, in tho 
prikrtpnl Character, Upon all occasions, to address himself to the cudlcnce eonfl- 
deatUUy, Instead of thinking aloud, a* is the case in the ** asides fl of a play. 
The effect of these little pieces of by-play is exceedingly diverting* and, os may 
be supposed, an ulLra-IndtareiH * hit rt from time to time produces an explosion 
of laughter. It is entirely successful, and farina a capital finish to the evening's 
entertainment. The management was not so fort imatext Die end of last week, when 
* farce, entitled 14 Two Owls fa One Ivy Bush/' metwith a reception that precluded 
a second representation . The only excuse far its production must bo that It was 
« translation of a Irlecc called ,l Detut font la Fairs,” now playing with enor¬ 


mous success Ht tho Vaudevflfa theatre in Paris. London and Paris audiences, 
however, occasionally differ widely In their notions of what is, or what la not, 
Tinny* and, in spite of some admirable acting toy Mr. Frank Matthews, the

SCENE FROM THE NEW 3JIIRI,R®gtfE OF “THE ENCHANTED MLE/ 1 AT THE ADELPItl TMKATRK. 


THE LATE SIR JOHN BARROW, 

At thli early ago Barrow was engaged In taking a survey of Colonel Bradtlyll'a 
estates in Yorkshire, and acquired so much knowledge of the theodolite, and the 
.several mathematical instruments, then and subsequently, that, on arriving hi 
London Borne years after, he drew up and published a small treatise to explain 
tho practical use of thorn j thin* nays he, H being toy first introduction to the 
prose, for which I obtained £ 20 , and was not a Ufa a delighted to Bund my ffimt- 
fnilta to my mother," 

Sir John Harrow embarked fa life at Liverpool, a* a superintendent and clerk 
at an Inm-foundiy ; In this situation he remained far two yews, when Ire quitted 
It for a voyage to Greenland fa a whaler, where he had some initiation fa prac¬ 
tical navigation and the duties of a seaman. 

Sir John’s nest employment was as mathematical teacher at Dr, James’s aca¬ 
demy, Greenwich. From fate service ho was, through the interest of Sir George 
Staunton, who was Score! ary to.the Embassy, Appchuad oo the effective Hat of Lord 
Macartney's mite, as ** Comptroller of tho Household/' and nominally, fa that ca- 
pjcity, proceeded with hi* patron to China. On hb* Lordship 1 * return and ap- 
poLmment to the Governorship of the Cape of Good Hope, Sir John accepted the 
office of private secretary to Ms Lordship, and embarked with him for the $flat 
of his government In January, 1797 ; and after a revere and very perilous, aa 
well as very laborious voyago, he returned to England, on the evacuation of the 
Cape In 1803. 

Of bin servlrefl at the Cape daring Lord Macartney's governorship, some 
Idea may be formed from Sir John’s own statement t—Between tire 1st of July, 
17 m, and the i8th of January, mi, I had traversed every part of the colony of 
the Cape of Good Hope, and visited tho several countries of tho Kaffirs, the 
Hottentots, and Hits Bosjeamcn, performing a Journey exceeding three thousand 
tulles 110 lion -hack, on foul, and very rarely in a Covered waggon, and full one- 
half of tho distance ns a pedestrian. During, the whole time (with the excep¬ 
tion of a few nights pftased at the dresdy-hortso of GrattiT Reyiret) I never slept 
under a roof, hut always In my waggon, imd In the cot that I brought with mo 
fa the good ship TYurty from Euglaud.'' 

In 1804 Sir John Barrew.waa apiHjfateti second Secretory of the Admiralty; 
fate office he held until 1 BOG, and was re-appointed in MKJ7* 

ft From fate day, the 8 th of April, 1807, to tlie 28th of January, 184V'says 
Blr John. 11 f contfaued, without Intermission, a* Second Secretory of tiiu Admi¬ 
ralty, when 1 retired, having completed altogether, from my first apireiniriLOnt 
in that capacity, forty ycora, under twelve or thirtren H^eral naval uduiinistra^ 
tlons + Whig and Tory, including that of,the Lord High Admiral, his Ifoyul High, 
ness tho Duke of Clarence 5 having reason to Ireheve that L have given satisiiLe- 
Hnn to all and every am of tliose naval admlDtetraUons: mid 1 am happy fa tho 
rdicetlon Hurt T liave oepertooced kindnei^f and attention from all.” 

As* an author, Sir Jolin Burrow has been as BticccseifuL as he has been fadua- 
trloue; and it limy be said of him that ho has not panned a hue which hnn not 
tended to aome good and mrelhl purpose. 

Sir John Barrow woo created a Baronet lu ISilS. Ho married in 1793 tine 
daughter of Peter John TreUter, Euq., of the Cape of Good Hope, member of 
tho Court of Juatira, who sarrives him. He Jut* loft three sohe— George ftei -

and Fetor narrow'. No haa rilso left two daugliiert, the eldest of whom haa

The autobiography of Sir John Barrow, it will b& recollected, waa publtehed 
test year; and from this houfcc tho substance of the above details lias been de¬ 
rived, It prerente, from drat to last, A very Interesting example of the success 
of u most energetic mind,

Gebtbrjll Cavaignac announced to the National Assembly, on 
the 29 th of November, that the French Government had deter* 
mined to send a detachment of its army to Italy, for the protection 
of the person of the Pope, It was rumoured in Paris on the same 
day, that, as far as protection went, the expedition would be use¬ 
less, as the Pope had left Home and was on lus way to France, and 
desired not protection, but shelter and hospitality. The rumour 
was believed by some, and disbelieved by others, as all rumours 
are. It has since been placed beyond a doubt that'it was 
partially true. The Pope left Rome secretly on the 24th 
tdt., accompanied by several of the Cardinals, and repaired 
to Gaeta. As soon as the French Government was in¬ 
formed of the probability of his flight, a French vessel of war was 
placed at the disposal of his Holiness—an asylum was offered to 
him in France—and preparations were made for receiving tho 
Pontiff with a sympathy commensurate with bis misfortunes, a 
cordiality due to the benignity of his character, and a splendour 
worthy of hie high temporal and spiritual dignity. The Pope, 
however, has seen fit to seek an asylum elsewhere. Before ho 
quitted Rome his mind is said to have been made up as to his 
place of refuge* It is added that he left confidential instruc¬ 
tions to his Cardinals to join him at Malta* It is also 
stated that, in anticipation of being driven from Rome by 
the ungrateful people, for whose liberties as a temporal Sove¬ 
reign be had done so much, he some months ago sent Cardinal 


Ferretti to Malta, to take the necessary measures for his comfort 
and security * and that Malta was chosen on account of its prox¬ 
imity to Italy, and of its freedom from all political commotions* 
It is not known whether die Pope will adhere to his original inten¬ 
tion, or whether the respect and sympathy evinced for him 
by the King of Naples on landing in tho Neapolitan territory 
wUl induce him to await the turn of events on tho Italian soil. 
As soon as the flight of the Pope was known, the whole of the 
corps diplomatique quitted Rome, the Ambassadors of France, 
Sardinia, and Spain being the first to leave. It appears that the 
Spanish Ambassador afterwards joined his Holiness; and that the 
Pope disguised himself with a wig, moustachios, and a round 
hat, and passed as tho servant of the Bavarian Ambassador, 
On the table of his private apartment in the Quinn ah the 
Pope left a note for the Minister Mamiani, the Minister forced 
upon him by the people, in which he simply announced his depart¬ 
ure, and recommended to him and his colleagues the maintenance 
of public tranquillity. These are the facts as far as they have trans¬ 
pired of this great event—one of the most important, if not by far 
the most important* of the many stupendous occurrences of this 
“annus mirabilis' of 184B, Not only its remote, but its near conse¬ 
quences, it is impossible to foresee ; but all men are prepared to be¬ 
lieve that they will be remarkable. 

The fall of the Papacy in the fulness of time is an event which 
Protestant Europe has been led to expect ever since the Reforma¬ 
tion, It is not befitting in us to expatiate upon the awful rays- 


[Sixpence. 

teries of the Apocalypse ; but tho circumstances of our time are bo 
marvellous, and the interpretations which have been put upon the 
inspired prophecy by Protestant divines and commentators would 
seem so nearly corroborated by contemporary events, that a pass¬ 
ing allusion to the subject may be permitted oven in the columns of 
a journal devoted not to divine, but to secular things. Both the 
Papal and the Protestant mind are awakened at present to tho 
awful mysteries of prophecy, a fact which we record without com¬ 
menting upon* Without reference to sacred matters, or to inter¬ 
pretations which the imaginative may find for the questionable pro¬ 
phecies of modem prophets like the Solitary of Oval, it is desirable 
that men should consider the flight of the Pope in its political as¬ 
pect* both with reference to the Papacy itself* and in its probable 
effects upon the Italian question and upon the state of Europe 
generally. 

We stated in our last Number, before the flight of the Pope was 
known, the probability that the most popular of all Popes would 
be the last of the ecclesiastical magistrates of Rome, and that in 
future the bolder of the Papal dignity would be a priest alone, 
and not a sovereign* The flight of Pius IX* has rendered this re¬ 
sult even more probable. As a Sovereign, he has lost everything 
by his flight* As the spiritual bead of Roman Catholic Europe, he 
has as yet lost nothing* Even in ordinary times, it was impossible to 
conceive any arrangement for the government of a people more 
preposterous than the elective sovereignty established in tho Papa 
States, A priest—in most cases superannuated—was taken from

his cloister to administer not alone the spiritual affairs of that par¬ 
ticular State, but of all other States of which the people adhered to 
Roman Catholic Christianity. This was a duty sufficiently splendid 
anil sufficiently difficult to task and to satisfy the highest and most 
active-minded of mom When, in addition to the duties of Archbishop- 
General of a large portion of Christendom, he was called upon to 
rule as a temporal King over a small but not easily managed sec* 
tion of a great people, there was an incongruity of functions which 
was fall of absurdity as well as of peril. Homan Catholics and Pro¬ 
testants were alike aware of it; and ail unprejudiced minds admitted 
that piety and eminence m a priest were no proper qualifications for 
Kingship* All the difficulties of the present Pope have befallen 
him in the latter capacity. It is not because he is a Pope that ho 
has been compelled to fly from his capital; but because he was a 
King* It is not that any want of attachment has been displayed 
to ms faith or his spiritual dignity, cither m Rome or any other 
pan of Europe, that insurrection has been organized against him— 
that his Minister has been assassinated—that his palace has been 
besieged—and that Ins person has been endangered* It was as a 
Monarch alone that he became inimical to his subjects. Ilo has 
fled as a King—not as a Pope * a fact which wo should bear in 
mind before we conclude that the fall of the Papacy is identical 
with the abolition of the temporal sovereignty of the Pope* Home 
may declare and maintain itself as a Republic, or ail Italy may be 
united in a federation of Republics, without weakening in the 
slightest degree; the spiritual authority which the Pope claims to 
exercise over Roman Catholics, lie may never revisit the 
Quiriual, or he may bo installed in it again, without, in the 
one case losing, or in the other increasing, tho greater of the 
dignities which his predecessors have enjoyed* Indeed, it seems 
higMy probable that his spiritual hold upon the affections of 
Roman Catholics will be strengthened, and not weakened, by 
these events. Persecution and exile will but endear hia name to those 
who believe in his spiritual authority. The power he loses in Italy 
will probably be more than courttorbalariccd by that which he will gain 
over the minds of men in those parts of Europe where Ids religion is 
that of the majority of the people. Such, at least, is the view we 
take of this event ; and all that lias yet transpired, more especially 
in France, tends to confirm iL General Cavoignac never took a 
more politic step than when he constituted himself the protector of 
he will probably owe his election to the Presidency of the French 
the Pope Though the protection lias not been needed or 
accepted. General "Cavuignac will owe his success, should he l>c 
elected, to the opportunity afforded him to conciliate and flatter 
the Roman Catholic party, of which the Count dc Montulembcrt 
is the leader, and the skilful advantage that he knew how to take 
of it. 

As regards the influence of this event upon the political fortunes 
of Rome and Italy, we cannot but anticipate many new and im¬ 
mediate perplexities to arise from it* The Romans, left to themselves, 
are not likely to cony on without bloodshed and tyranny a revolution 
which was inaugurated by nssnssination* Whatever they may do, it is 
to he most ardently desired that they may be left to themselves, or 
that a peaceful intervention of the principal powers of Europe may 
take place in the affairs of the whole of Italy, the Papal States in¬ 
cluded. The armed and hostile intervention of Austria on 
the one side could but lead to tho armed and hostile inter¬ 
vention of Franc© on the other, and vice versa. In either 
case a general break-np of the peace of Europe might be 
the result* The present Government of France was evidently 
far from disinclined to run the risk last week* Its inten¬ 
tions, however, may have been changed ; and to-morrow (the 10th 
of December) will decide whether the present or a new ruler shall 
assume the hazardous Government of the Republic* But whomso¬ 
ever may be elected as President will be compelled to see the interest 
which France hna m the consolidation of the consiitutiomd liberties 
of Italy, and act accordingly. For the sake of Europe it is to be 
hoped that France will not be precipitate, and that she will play 
the great game with a full sense of the deep responsibility that a 
false move will entail upon her as well as on Europe. Even 
Austria, which lias manifested a deriro to accept the ofibreii nego¬ 
tiations of the other States of Europe in reference to the affairs of 
Lombardy and Sardinia, will not bo precipitate in the affairs of 
Rome, if no false step bo taken hy France,

in stonily to have two steamers prepared* to tnjJtmct the Queen and the Prince to 
b© prepared for immediate departure to Gaeta* and to Order a regiiuent of guards

Towards tho close of tire week accounts reached Furls And Loudon that tho

French steamer at Gaota, or to proceed te France.

PRUSSIA* 

The quarrel between the National Assembly and the Government remain a 
©till unsettled, 

At the meeting of tho Chamber In Brandenburg, on the latlnsL, the deputies 
nf the Left Centre, 80 In number, entered the hall In a body* shortly after the 
commencement of tee proceedings. Through on© of tho party they applied for 
an adjournment till the following Monday, which* oil a dlvklcin, vres negatiroi 
by 145 to m. 

The election of a new President was called for; but Ilia newly-arrived depu¬ 
ties refused tQ take any port lu it, and tiuitted the Assembly en masse as they 
entered it. This reduced tho CErembcr below tho neccssury nuinber, and tho 
choice uf President could not be proceeded with. 

M. Simona then moved u resolution authorising tho Ministry to call up the 
substitutes of tire deputies who IimI quitted tire alttlng; 73 voted for tho resolu¬ 
tion, and only one deputy ftgftlMt fti but no less than declined voting at olj* 
The Assembly wjta afterwards adjourned till Thursday, the 7th test. 

From Berlin, under data of the 3rd inat* we learn that tire meetings and con¬ 
ferences of the deputies of the Opposition; having beau prohibited by the military, 
they had resolved to hold Orem at Brandenburg* In order to be beyond th© state 
of siege. The garrison of the city had been reinforced by a battalion of the 
Landwetir of Pomerania, 

It was generally believed that the consequence of th© hostile spirit manifested 
attho last sitting of the Chamber by the Opposition would be a maAolution. 

From th© Rhenish provinces teem are account of a serious affray atCntrientz 
Oti the 30th ult. A large number of individuals belonging to the Lundwehr and 
the wiu> reserve hail convened a meeting for that evening in th© Co ling Hall. 
But just as the Billing wus about to be opened, a number of soldiers of tho sfiih 
regiment nf Infantry* who hod assembled before tire doora with sabres te tlrelr 
lianas, began grasfily ill-troating the person* wire were repairing t u the place of 
rendozvrutH, An affray was the eonsequonce* In which several Individuals, sol 
dters ami others, wore seriously wounded mid some killed. 

The greatest Agitation prevailed in tho city ; th© tocsin was sounded te two of 
tho churches, and the gates were occupied by u military for©©. Order was re¬ 
established at about 0 o'clock* 

The latest advice* from Berlin* which are dated the 4th teat., state that that 
city was perfectly tranquil* and that the best understanding prevailed between 
the troops and the people; contributions of money and provisions, the voluntary 
gift of tho citizens* continued to bo sent la for the us© of th© garrison, width 
were distributed by a committee appointed for the purpose* 

The dissolution of the Chamber was anticipated by all parties, and the Minis¬ 
terial papers spolta of tho probability ot a constitution being nt once granted by 
the Crown, it appearing almost impossible to try th© eiperiment of a second 
Cotrerltucnt Assembly. 

Considerable apprehension wbj» beginning to be entertained throughout Ger¬ 
many of an armed Umatlan intervention in favour uf Absolutism, 

AUSTRIA, 

The new Ministry bos lamed a programme* which was comnmnfoated to tlia 
Nitiqoiil Assembly at Kremtior. In the term of a speech, on tire 27tli utt., by 
Price© Felix Scliwarzenbuxg, th« Prime Minister. The personal appearjmirejof

IRELAND, 

FRIGHTFUL CATASTBOPIIE AT SEA. 

Early In the week* rumours of a frightful tragedy enacted on board tho Lon- 
doudorry steamer, sailing between Sligo and Livorpoh readied Dublin. It waa 
said that too Steamer* which loft Sligo on Friday week* had on board Ids pas¬ 
sengers, part of whom were far America, tun! the other part far Liverpool. A 
groat number of toe latter* It was alleged, went on board far the purpose of 
phiudGriiig tho pFWsongcrn; and when the crew wore engaged in the manage¬ 
ment of the steanj-bout during the Btomi, tlroy commenced their horritl work* 
and on tlio arrival of tho steamer at Londonderry* not less than, forty of toe poor 
creatures wore found murdered In tiro moot brutut manner* 

It fs gratifying to know Hint this statement was entirety unfounded. The 
truth* however* which fa bad enough* may tie briefly stated. It appears that 
about nine o'clock on Sunday morning week, tiro steamer reached the quay of 
Londonderry wi th a numbe r of dead bodi es on fajard. Great cxclromou t wax the 
ctmaequency, and the authorities having tokcu poase^lon of the vessel, imme- 
dlate steps were token to ascertain how matters really stood. On examina¬ 
tion of the steamer, the iccue whidi presented itself was frjghtfnlln tiro extreme* 
In tiro steerage the dreadful spectacle was exhibited of seventy-three dead bo- 
dlea plied on each other. 

After the lapse of some time, a respectable Jury was empanelled by the City 
Ojcouor* when, the witnesses being examined, it appeared Grot tha steamer fan 
bhgo for Liverpool on Friday evening* having on board, besides cattle* nearly 
IbD posseugors, the greater part of whom were on their way to America, The 
evening became so bofatareus that none hut the crew could keep too deck, and 
the passengers were accordingly Ordered below . Thu hatch or companion wau 
drawn across ; but the space for vemibitinn being Ixutiftlclent, the un fortunate 
people below were subjected to tiro Horrible and lingering death of suffocation. 
Ono pawenger* more farlmiflte tbaji the mat, succeeded in gaining the duck* and 
Having nlarmed the crew, an effort was made for their relief* but too late* 73 hu¬ 
man beings having ceased to exist. 

It took throe hours Add ft Half to got the dead out of the vessel; and as putre¬ 
faction had begun, tho smell was so offensive that spirits were given to men to 
keep them hi a state of half-flrunkciinesa to get them to go below. The place in 
which the poor creatures met their fate was about 20 feet long, 14 fact wide, and 
7 feet high. It Hud capacity for about 30 passengers; but bo crowded was it Unit 
the dead lay four deep on the Boor. 

The incidents and bereave merits are deeply affecting. A little girl vas saved 
who was coming to her father in Liverpool; tlio rest of the family wore with her* 
to tho number of nine parsons, and all except herself perfahed. Strong men as 
Well as children were among the victims, and thair efforts to escape appeared to 
have been groat- -one manfa coat being torn completely from the sleeves In hfa 
unavailing attempts for dyl Ivoraoce. 

The suffocation hns been attributed to too fact of n tarpaulin having been 
thrown over the companion to keep ilio water cut. 

A coroner's inquest Has returned a Verdict Unit tlroy "died from suffocation. 1 " 
pie captain and oil the crow wo committed to gaol. About tlO others were 
tended aUvo, and nil uro to custody for cxnmUiarton. 

Huw tiro story aroso of these? poor people having been murdered by their fel- 
low^passengore far the sake of plunder, or falling In a deadly conflict, after which 
the captain unci crew were obliged to submit to tha orders of tho 11 prates," fa 
quite inexplicable. 

The following letter of a correspondent In Londonderry, however* throws shma 
IgM OQ tha subject:—“The night coming on exceedingly boisterous, the most. 

If not all, of the poor people were forced to ohelter themselves, either by the cap¬ 
tain's orders* or by their own accord (which 1ms nut yet been dfadosod), te go 
below* into what you know Is called the fore-cabin of these boats ; and since the 
day a of the Black Hole of Calcutta, 1 Have never read or Hoard of such a hole to 
cram, pack* or stow so many human beings in. The effect of tlifa was dreadful 
but more dreadful still when the crew came and fastened a tarpaulin over tiro 
hatch or Gumpaulou-way, which leads down to this place “

t&ller and mure decorated Hum th® 
others, being enriched with rig-rag and 
other ornament* ; Uib pediments of all 
three have & leaf pattern wrought In 
them. In the ascend story are three 
window*, the central a large wheel vrfh- 
daw, eighteen feet six Inches In diameter. 
This window is of exceedingly beautiful 
design, the ontnUtontatiou appropriate, 
and elegantly carried out ; and those 
on either hand are round-headed and 
enriched by mouldings. A series of small 
arches forms a striking and characteris¬ 
tic decoration to the gable, in the centra 
of which is a recessed and muulded win¬ 
dow, flUetl with brick-work, set In a neat 
pattern- Tho towers arc divided into 
four stories, two of which correspond to 
the stories of the main building, and 
the two uppermost are of equal height. 
The upper stories have openings In 
them, composed of a tell central arch* 
inclosing two "light*; and on either 
side are arches filled with brick-work, 
set in pattern. A bold corbel-table runs 
round the towers; and a dentil cor¬ 
nice above It gives great effect to the 
whole. The spires am covered with 
ornamental ;tBe* designed In keeping 
with the style oT architecture of the 
building and, being red, an excellent 
and striking feature is gained without 
any additional expense. This example 
is well worthy of study; and our archi¬ 
tects would do well to try how colour 
could be effectively used in exterior de¬ 
coration, without adding to the cost of 
the structures they are cubed on to de¬ 
sign, In this building the pale red of 
the spires has an admirable effect, Tho 
height of the spires to 117 feet. The In¬ 
terior of tho chapel la peculiarly chaste 
and elegant—the celling being tnUy 
simple and beautiful. Tho celling la 
divided Into panelled compartment a 
largo circle in thecontm being coved and 
richly ornamented ; and a pen aunt, 
pierced for ventilation, adds to the deco¬ 
rations. A largo chandelier hangs from 
the pendant; and, os it ta upon Professor 
Faraday** principle, the Chapel la tho¬ 
roughly ventilated through tho pendant, 
the vitiated air being carried off Into tho 
upper part of the towers, where It is 
discharged. There ore galleries (to 
which access Is gained bystairraaos intoe 
towem) on three sides of the Chapel, giv¬ 
ing accommodation, to 470 persons le the 

pews; and a gallery for schools at¬ 
tached to the Chapel accommodate* 
250 children. There is an organ gallery 
cu the south side of the CImpel, contate- 
irm a very hue-toned tustrnoa&ut. The 
pews on the ground-floor will hold about 
4 h 0 persons. 

Tho walls of tho Chapel are destitute 
of enrichment; but the window case¬ 
ments lend their aid in adding to tho 
bract ty of the place, aa they are very 
prettily moulded In octagon and lozenge- 
shaped patterns, the glass being richly 
ornamented with embossed design. 

There are two vestry-rooms attached 
to the Chapel, and the basement of tho 
building la divided into two schools, 
for boy* and girls j access to them being 
gained by staircases from the towers.

We may mention, the building was croctod for the aura contracted for, ^700, 
Including the fitting*, but exclusive of the site; and we believe S. M. Pete, 
J5w.. M.TP,. has been credit on Its talented architect, John Olbaon, Esq., of 
Westminster; and the a most liberal bonefitetor to it. The design of the 
Chapel reflects the highest builders are Moure. Locke and Neah^n. 

The opening of the Chapel, on Tuesday, was attended by agraU many Dis¬ 
puting ministers of eminence, and a number of clergyman of toeChurch of Eng¬ 
land. The great source of attraction wan the popularity of the preacher, the 
Eev. Dr. Harris, President of Cheshunt College, and author of < ‘ Mammon and 
various other works. The Rev. Dr. Goodwin, of Oxford, preached in the evening 
when the audience was again largo. Tho Rev, Mr. Brock, of Norwich, has been 
appointed the regular minister of the chapel. Upwards of 181M) persons crowded 
into tho Chapel, and numbers were disappointed. A dinner was given In the 
school-room* underneath to 300 persons,

It being understood that the Rev. BuptistNoel would on Sumtaylrat deliver HU 
terowell sermon to the congregation of St John's Chapel, Eedford-row.tn which 
he has ministered for the lari f weuty-two years, a Jarge concourse of persons oc¬ 
cupied tho avenues to the chapel doors long before the usual time for com¬ 
mencing morning service. When the doom wore opened, the church was. In¬ 
stantly occupied in every part, and numbers had to retire disappointed The

time at least, would occupy that pulpit. i rM , . . . M .. 

At the evening service, tho name interest was exhibited on the part of too 
public. Tbs chapel doom were besieged by an eager crowd as ear y « fw* 
o'clock. They ware opened at Intervals, and a limited number admitted each

BAPTIST CHAPEL. 

Tins Chapel opened far public worship 
on Tuesday te"ti December 5th* is one of 
the very best, in point of design and cha¬

The C Impel stands on a square plot of 
ground In Bloooisbury-street, between 
toe neat Gothic Church belonging to toe 
French Protestants, and the tasteless pite 
of budding known aa Bedford ChapeL 
the latter acting as n good foil to rat off 
thu elegant character and design of the

The front of the Baptist Chapel shows 
a central portion flanked by two lofty 
spires, which project slightly from the 
main building. The centre is divided 
Into two Blurted, of nearly Equal height: 
the lower story projecting nearly to the

VIEW IN THU NEW COLONY OF LAB If AN*—(FROM A SKETCH BY A CORBKSPONDENT*) 


M. MATHLEU LOUISL 

Tati gentleman, a Negro* 1* <ma the representaU res of tho colony of Mar- 
Unique in the National Aasombly of France, and took lift seat about a month 
since. In the sitting of the Aaatunbly yesterday week, M, Loniid was prominent 
in the debate on the military service of the colonies, when, M. Levasseur hairing 
expressed hb doubt whether universal suffrago could be tlio basis of elections 
in the colonies with security for property, M* Louis] declared tbnt “ he thanked 
France for the liberty which she had given to hia brethren ; ho thanked, in par¬ 
ticular, the abolitionists, who were Messed amongst the negro population. They 
would," he Midi "receive their reward before that heavenly tribunal where 
the colour of mem was not regarded. Ho trusted that what the Con- 
Btituthm had given them would not be withdrawn. At the moment," 
he added, 41 when the Republic announced our freedom, the white 
race dreaded that we should come and demand an account from 
them of their past note towards us, But wo demanded nothing—we 
wetu generous* mad wo stretched forth to them the hand. Our conduct, 
however, did not produce the effects that we ronalder it ought? some days after, 


THE NEW COLONY OF LABUAN. 

Tina Sketch of the New Colony of | Labium, founded by our enterprising 
countryman, Sir James Brooke, was made In the month of August last* by tho 
medical officer <Dr, Stsrtin) of the honourable Boat India Company's war 
steamer Phtefftikm* lately on a nruiso la the Indian Arebipulago, In search of 
pirates, thirty of whom she succeeded In capturing* and carrying to Singapore; 
these men forming the residue of the crew who seized aud destroyed the General 
Wood, and murdered several hands and passengers on board* about a year and a 
half ago . 

In tho Sketch* the buildings shown open the banks are the Govemmeot bun¬ 
galows and guard-house; the navy well, left of the Hag-staff; and, further loft* 
the bath-house and other officesof the Lhiegctfmn steamer. In front of tho picture. 

The following very interesting letter from an English officer at Sarawak ap¬ 
peared hi tho Timet of Saturday lost 

Sarawak, Sept. 16, 

** I arrived here the day before yesterday in the Audtfand steamer, from Singa¬ 
pore ; we anchored dose to tho Afeastiffr, about 12 miles down the river. I went on 
board, and Captain Keppel very kindly premised to take me In his gig to Sarawak 
Whan the tide turned. We had not left the frigate ten minutes before the rain camo 
down In & perfect deluge* accompanied by tho most vivid lightning I ever wit¬ 
nessed . We landed, at Sarawak at half-p&st one at night, or rather morning, and 
found the Rnjnh and household In the lend of dreams. 

*' I find Sarawak lust what l expected, The prints giro yon an excellent idea 
of the place. The Ibtfahfo bungalow Ea cool and comfortable. Yesterday we had 
a large party of the officers of the Avdtland; I lionized the place with them. The 
fort, which mounts six guns, Is In excellent order. Tho garrison went through 
their manoeuvres In a style that did them great credit. I examined the antimony 
foctory, which Is rather a large csLubli $hmenl, I am writing In the ball of toe bun¬ 
galow ; one of the Fangorans and a son of the late Rajah Made Hasslm ore sitting 
by my aide, amusing themselves with Tun Ii*lusTUATxd News. Mr, M’Dougiill and 
the other missionary* Mr, Wright, are living in tlie Court-house on the Other side 
Of tho water* end I hear are making great progress; they have a school of &9 
adults and children. M-Deugall widely diffuses the benefit of his medical science. 
Both are much liked by the inhabitants. They have not yet begun to prose¬ 
lytise. Wo sat down yesterday to a dinner party of fourteen; after dinner in 
walked about thirty of the nobfcue, brothers* sons, and nephews of the late Muda 
Hasslm, with their swordbearers end suite. I was presented to them, and shook 
hands with the gentlemen all round. 

44 Now for a little of Borneo politics. Wo have an expedition out against Sadong 
consisting of 90 Meander'* men and 500 Sarawak*. The fjadong people have 
been In communication with pirates. Crookrturak, who commanded tho natives* 
has orders to make prisoners of the Sadong men, and bring them to Sarawak for 
examination.. On tho return of the expedition, we are to give a grand feast to 
tho native chiefs aud officers, of the ships In tho river—the spectacle to bo such 
os will moke on enduring Impression upon the natives of Sarawak. Immediately 
afterwards we sail In the Meander for Lahuan, stay there a month, and then pro¬ 
ceed on a mission to Sooloo ta negotiate a treaty with the Saltan of Saaloo t after¬ 
words wo ore to have an expedition to Safcamm and Sarebas, which 
tribes have returned to their old bablta of piracy; thus* yon will see* 
them Is a good deal of work cut out for iu. I folly expect we shall have another 
bombardment of Bruni. The Sultan is sold to be dying, and the villain Uocota 
(tho abettor of piracy) is again in power and currying on his Intrigues, I hear 
that Sir James Brooke Is drawing up a treaty, which will be entered Into by all 
the chiefs of the rivers between this and Branl, acknowledging him os their chief 
and protector—au union for mutual assistance against piracy . 

" Sept,|I9.—The expedition against Smiting returned on Sunday, having effected 




ong* To-day 


return to Sarawak* when tho Sarawak flag will ho hoisted- I have 
not told you of oar boar hunt. Mr, Hontig’a garden has been for a 
long time haunted by on enormous boar ; everybody in the settle¬ 
ment had seen him* several had had shots at him; all differed ad to his sire— 
some said he was as big as a buffalo, others said its a donkey; the Malays de¬ 
clared that he had a charmed life* and that nothing but a silver bullet could kill 
him. However, on Saturday night, I sallied out about one o'clock* with my rifle 
and sword* and, In company with a middy of the Meander, took up a position m 
the porker's crulslug-ground. Here wo found two other men awaiting the 
arrival of the monster; one of them, who know the animal's beat* stationed 
himself at tho gnp in tho fence, and did not wait long before the brute appeared. 
He fired both barrels Into him. and rolled him over; I eomo Up in time to tee 
piggy kicking on Ida book, aud shoved my sword through hU heart, and put him 
out of Ilia misery. He is a most extraordinary animal ? we Intend send tog the 
head to tho British Museum. Ho stood about three feet six inches high, and 
about eight feat from tip of toil to snout* with enormous tusks." 


NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. 

ThiMilitait Medals,—T he distribution will take pluee to the present 
mouth. The manner of distribution Is understood to be an followsThe issue 
will take place under the auspices of Mr, Lindsay* and from the Commander-In- 
Chiefs Office, All officers will receive their medals on application direetto the 
Military Secretary at the Horse Guards, The staff officers of pensioners will be 
Called upon to ftirnlah lists of the whole of the claimants (whether pensioner* 
or otherwise) within their districts, and Oft receipt of those lists the medal for 
each claimant win be forwarded to the staff officers for delivery. 

Naval Mxpau,—T he Admiralty have loaned a notice, In which “ It Is re¬ 
quested that claims for a naval medal, according to the forms shown In the C?o- 
zeU* ef the 1th of June last, be forthwith sent to tho AdmiraltyThe notice 
further Odds, ■■ It is not* at present, Intended to limit the time for receiving ap¬ 
plications* but It Is desirable they should be sent to by tho isth lust. This no¬ 
tice bos no reference to claims which have been already preferred." 

AmwtttOE MxustAam—'Tho attention Of the Board of Admiralty having 
bean called to the fact that many of tho apprentices In her Majesty's dockyards 
have married at an unusually early age, tholr Lordships have directed the fol¬ 
lowing order to be issued Admiralty* Dec. 4* 13.49.—It having come to the 
knowledge of my Lords that marriages have been contracted by apprentices at 
the age of 17, and even \t>— to contravention of the terms of their agreement, 
which states that they shall not contract marriage during tho period of their In¬ 
denture—I am to desire yon will make known to tho apprentices that the clause 
upon this subject will in future be strictly enforced* and that no apprentice will 
be placed upon the establishment should he meury before he has served hie time. 
My Lords are satisfied that both physical!y and morally this restriction will be a 
benefit to all parties. By command* H. G, Wabp "

THE ILEUSTEATED LONDON NEWS, 


LONDON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3 t 1848* ^ 

The overland mail from India, with dates from Calcutta to th© 
23rd, Madras the 24th of October, and Bombay tfao 2nd of Novem¬ 
ber, brings but little further intelligence of the war before Moultan, 
and of the state of the Punjaub generally. That little is not of a 
character to inspire belief in the unimportance of the new Sikh re¬ 
bellion. Shere Singh, who, it will be remembered, hud gone over 
from the British and joined the Dewnn Moolraj in Moultan, 
slipped away on the night of the 9 th of October. General Whiah, 
who is securely encamped at a distance of four miles from Moul» 
tan, refrained from pursuing him, on the ground that the attack 
would have been a night one against artillery; and that, our army, 
which was moreover deficient in cavalry, would have been exposed 
to an attack on the rear by the forces of Moolraj, Shore Singh has 
penetrated into the Hazerah country, where his father, Chuttur 
Singh, has a large force; and we shall, doubtless, hear by the next 
mail some further particulars of the extent of the rebellion, and of 
the plans of these and other Sikh leaders. It is supposed that a 
combined attack upon Lahore is contemplated, a result for 
which our authorities are quite prepared. Orders from the 
Commander-in-Chief have appeared, dated Simla, October 13 th, 
by which he constitutes a force of 30,000 men, to be designated the 
army of the Punjaub, and of which Lord Gough will immediately 
take the command in person. His Lordship has left Simla, has¬ 
tening forward to Ferossepore, v£t£ Loodjatmh, with such rapidity 
as to be obliged to renounce a contemplated interview with the 
Governor-General before placing himself at the head of the army. 
All those facts arc significant of a great danger. They are, how¬ 
ever, equally significant of our readiness to meet and to arrest it* 
The Sikhs need a now lesson, and it is probable they will obtain it. 


There is a lull in tbe affairs of Austria. The Diet, obedient to 
orders, has assembled in the village and fortress of Kremsicr, but 
has manifested a feeling hostile to the Court, by the re-clcction of 
its old President, Smolka. The new Ministiy, under Count 
Stadion, has issued an elaborate manifesto of its principles, in which 
it appears clearly that, whatever the Court may feel* mid however 
mnch it may be strengthened by the submission of Vienna and the 
triumph of WindisSigriitz, it finds it necessary to renounce 
those Mettmichiun principles which have brought Austria 
to its present condition. The new Ministry states its desire 
to heal the wounds of the past ; to remove the embar¬ 
rassments of the present, and to establish a new anil better 
order of things for the fumre. It expresses itself sincerely, and 
without any reservation, in favour of a Constitutional Monarchy ; 
and that form of State, the existence and sure duration of which 
it discerns in the joint exercise of the legislative power by the 
Monarch aid the Representative bodies of Austria. It wishes to 
see the Constitution based upon the possession of equal rights by, 
and the unshackled development of, all nationalities, as well upon 
the equality of all citizens of Hie State in the eye of the law ; 
guaranteed through publicity in all the branches of national life, 
upheld by free communes and the free movement of tho rural dis¬ 
tricts in internal affairs, anti surrounded by the common tie of a 
powerful central power* In fact, the document is extremely liberal, 
and cannot fail to satisfy the rational friends of the constitutional 
liberty of all the nations—Goman, Sel&voman, Hungarian, and 
Italian—which form the Austrian Empire* The hot-brained stu¬ 
dents, who play so conspicuous a part in Germany, may possibly 
raise objections ; but recent events have read them a lesson ; and 
the bewg&ime and people, whom they have hitherto guided, are very 
likely, for the future, to look for advice to sager counsellors* The 
Hungarians, who have ideas of their own, and tbo Italians, who 
wish to cast oil' entirely the yoke of Austria, may give trouble, 
however well disposed the new Ministry nrny be ; but there seems 
reason to believe, from the effect produced in Austria Proper and 
in ScJamnia, that those mainholds of the Imperial power are far 
from dissatisfied with tho manifesto, and wdi inclined to place con¬ 
fidence in the ability and honesty of Count Stadion. 

In Prussia them is something like a drawn game between the 
King and the Assembly, and it seems to be for the interest of both 
that it should bo so* Defeat to either would be a bitterness which 
would create future rancour and difficulty. Both sides seem to be 
fully aware of the fact; and it is, therefore, probable that some 
compromise will be effected* 

In times less momentous than the present, the death of such a man as 
Ibrahim Pasha would have employed the pens of half the journal¬ 
ists of Europe. But, amid the stirring events of our European po¬ 
litics, the disappearance from this worldly stage of a person who 
held so high a position, and ran so remarkable a career, receives 
I but the obituary notice bestowed upon all whose names have been 
public property; and attention, for awhile disturbed by tho recob 
I lectiou of the dead, is fixed with renewed eagerness upon the deeds 
of the living. And yet the death of Ibrahim Fashft is an event 
which should excite more notice. Mebemut Ali has for some time been 
in a state of utttor dotage, and on the let of September h\si Ibrahim 
ivoa formally nominated by the8ultan to the Pacbalic of Egypt. His 
actual governorship has, therefore, been but of short duration, bat 
virtually he administered affairs for a considerable period prior to 
his official elevation by the .Sultan. 

Ibrahim Ffudia has left three sons—-hut tbe Viceroyalty of 
Egypt will not devolve upon either. The new ruler of that country 
\s Abbas Pacha, son of Tussoon Radio, MchemeFs second son, who 
died of the plague in 181 fL He succeeds as being the eldest living 
male of Mehcmet Adi's family. He is said to have liad and to de¬ 


sire little communication with Europeans, to have no sympathy 
with European ideas or arts, and to be a strict Mahomed an. Too 
little, however, is known of him to justify any speculations as to 
the kind of Sovereign he will moke; hut for the interests of Europe 
as well as of Egypt, it is to be hoped that he has eagaeity enough 
to pursue that "policy towards Christendom by which Mehemct 
Ali and Ibrahim rendered their names so illustrious and conferred 
so many benefits on Egypt* Though Ibrahim was a man of blood, 
he is not to bo judged by the standard of our ideas in that respect; 
and in recording bis death, we may affirtn—uotwitbstftnding aD 
tho cruelties of his career—that he was not only one of the most 
remarkable men of this remarkable era, but a wise ruler, who under¬ 
stood, at the same time, bis own people and their neighbours. It 
is not every Eastern Sovereign upon whom such an eulogimn could 
be passed with justice.

Tni Uoval Etchings.—T he caws of “her Majesty's Attorney-Gun era) v. 
william Strange, Jasper Tom sett Judge, and Jasper Augustus Frederick Judge," 
and also that of his Royal High nose Prince Albert against tho same defendants, 
has been appointed to come on for argument In Vice-Chancellor Knight 
Bruee’d Court, Lincoln's Inn, on Saturday (this day). From the groat number of 
affidavits which have been put upon the file of the Court by the complainants, 
and the voluminous nature of tho answer to the in forma Ucui and bill which has 
been filed on the part of the defendants, th« arguments and speeches of counsel 
are considered likely to occupy the Court the greater part of the day. Thin

volved, excites the greatest Interest, not only in legal circle** but throughout the 
country.

The Uoasd JuNcnoif Canal Comfaht.—O n Tuesday, a half-yearly meeting 
of the proprietors of tha Grand Junction Canal was hold at the Whittington Club, 
S trail d, to receive the report for the hi] f-yoar ending 30 th June last, The Hon * 
F. V. Bouverle In the chair, Mr* Rogers, clerk to the company, read tho report, 
from which It appeared that tho not tonnage for the lialf-your amounted to 
£30,087 Os. 7dbeing £4692 4s. 7d, less than hi the corresponding sit months 
of the preceding year. Tho falllng-ofT was attributable to the protracted stop¬ 
page of the navigation; for the purpose of repairs, but mainly to the depressed 
state of trade* There bed been an Increase in the conveyance of cotton goods 
and miscellaneous articles. Indicating that railway competition In the carriage of 
goods had found Sis level. Tho revenue, from all sources, was £ 48 , 3.13 5s. 2d*, 
and the expenditure ranched £20,430 U. 4d., leaving a net profit of £25,913 
7b. I £Jd. This was not sufficient to pay the dividend Of £2 10s. per share, and In 
order to effect that object* the directors added team the *' rest" of tim company 
(which was valued at about £2ffi,OOh> tho sum of £563 is. At tho previous 
meeting. In June lash the creation of 11,455 £10 shares was authorised* Of that 
stock 10,455 shares, representing a capital of £104*550, were taken np by the 
shareholders of the company, which waa paid up in instalments of £2 10$* per 
share, and produced £20,137 JOs* Tho directors recommended that tho remain¬ 
ing 1000 shares should net be Issued at present* until it were sow how much 
money was necessary In the carrying rrntle. to which the now stock was 
applied. The rcjioit was agreed to, and a dividend of £2 l Os, per share de¬ 
clared. 

Regent's Canal CoicrANT*“Tho half-yearly general meeting or this com¬ 
pany waa held on Wednesday* at their offices* City-rood, lire report of tho 
general committee stated that tho works of the new barge entrance at the Lime- 
hcraafl dock will ho open tor traffic before tbe next half-yearly meeting. The 
balance of profits an the half-year juuonnft to £12*779, being nearly enfflclent 
for a dividend 0 ! twelve shillings per share; but as the resolution to add flvo 
per cent, out Of tha profits to the reserved fund now again comes into opera¬ 
tion, the committee recommended a dividend of eleven BhiUhiga only, which* 
after allowing five per cent, to bo added to the resorvod fund* Would leave a 
balance towards the next dividend of £3$7, Although the gTo*S receipts for 
the past half-year oro greater than for the cotrcspondtog half-year of 1847, yet 
there had been a considerable falling off of traffic In the articles of lime, bricks, 
tiuod, &a, and this tbe committee attributed to the universal depression of 
mute throughout the kingdom* Tha Marquis of Salisbury* who wu lu the 
clialr, submitted resolution^ for carrying to tho reserved fund £632* being fivn 
per cent, on the net profits, and for declaring a dividend of cloven shill logs, 
payable after tho 5th of JatiUnry, which, after tome discnbtiou, was agreed to; 
os wax also a resolution moved by a proprietor, to the effect that In future more 
detailed accounts, especially on the subject of tonnage, should be furnished at 
tho lialf-yearly meetings. The total receipts amounted to £24*Tl7, leaving a 
profit on tbe haLf-year of £12,646. The report was then received; and several 
proprietors having expressed their flutl$fccti<m that tho business ol towage liad 
been undertaken by the directors, and a vote of thanks having' been passed ‘to 
the noble chairman, the meeting separated.

£ 10,000 to this institution, wo have to communicate the pleasing information 
that another large bequest has been conferred on it, which, it is hoped, will con-

east comer of the capital; and subsequently it# position was altered so a# to 
throw Jte ray# to different points. It was then shown up Regent-Street 
The apparatus employed was similar to that used on Tuesday night. Whether 
from tho dampness of the atmosphere, the altitude of the light* or that the 
reflector wa# not so powerful. It did not appear so Intensely darling os on that 
occasion; nevertheless, Its brilliancy was ihr beyond the power of any other 
artldrial light.

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, 


[Dec. 9, 1848, 



GEHEJLAL view of THE CAT’TLK SHOW. 




* Wednerday* this great Exhibition ™ opened to ttto public it the Bwaar 
n King-street, Portnwui-sqiiare. The private view toot place on the preceding 
evening. Much has been written of late years In ridicule of the excessive 
ettenlng of cattle; and the satire appears to have worked well. If wo nay 
edge from the proportions of the animals In the present Exhibition. 

J1 The former exhibitions were characterised by an assemblage of animals, 
many of them disgustingly fit, and looking, at least to the uninitiated observer* 
like anything hut specimens of good, of, at any rate, wholesome feeding. 
There wai, In fact, this admitted defect, either In the breed, or in the feeding, 
that they ran too much to waste meat, many of the bulkiest specimens pro- 
dueling, in fact, leas butcher-meat than others of more moderate proportions. 
For same years back, the attention both of breeders and feeders baa been turned 
to this subject, and, as too specimens of this year will attest, with the happiest 
resui ts. The obj ect has been, not to produce the bulkiest animals, but to produce 
in each to* largest if nsntity of meat which can be used as human food. In attaining 
that object, a. great stride has been gained within the past year. Indeed, In tola 
respect, toe exhibition of toe present Is not a tittle In contrast with that of 
last year. Those who remember the unwicldlv monsters which last year lotted 


i helplessly on their sides, unable to rise and whofczlng apparently Ln asth¬ 
matic agony, objects more of commiseration toon of admiration, will be 
quite relieved, on paying a visit to It this year, on seeing tbs majority of the 
animals m their feet, few of them rendered shapeless by fat, and all of them 
looking lively and healthy. A great point has thus been gained: they have 
brought less waste and more useful meat with them, on this occasion, 
on their bones, it appeared that tote desirable improvement Is chiefly attribut¬ 
able to a better system of feeding ; for most of tbe prisces have been awarded to 
the feeders. There are more entries this year than list, although there have 
been larger exhibitions than that now presented. The animate are divided lute 
different classes, as heretofore, although on a principle somewhat different from 
that formerly adopted, The restriction aa to feeding has been done away with, 
and it ia this year constituted no element in the award of the J edges. The restric¬ 
tion has been removed because it was found to be worse than useless, for, 
«e long as It lasted, it gave an advantage to such aa wore not sufficiently 
scrupulous to adhere to it, which of course put their more conscientious compe¬ 
titors at d ^advantage in attempting to rival them. This being the case, the so¬ 
ciety Isas done well to remove It, paniculuriy aa It had no efficient means at Ite 
command of enforcing It. The show, an the whole, this year, does not strike 
one aa much greater than that of I sat, hut It will be found, on closer Inspection, 


that the different classes are bettor filled up. The award of prteieiby the Judge* 
Is givonfhelow." 

On Wednesday, a meeting of the Committee of the Smlttifleld Cattle Club w» 
held at twelve o'clock in the cluubroom at the Baxaar, for the purpose of drawing 
np the annual reportof the Club; hli Grace the Duke of Richmond, the President, 
In the chair. Amongst the other noblemen and gentlemen who visited the 
Bsisar during the day were the Duke of Rutland, the Duho of Leeds, the Earl 
of Leicester, the Earl of Yarborough, the Earl of Chichester, Lord Soutiiampten, 
too Earl of Aylesbury, Earl Radnor, Earl Spencer, Major-General Wemyss, Sir 
Francis Lawley. the Hon. Dudley Pelham, Sir Thomas Lennartf, Mr. Pasey, 
M*F„ Colonel SIhthorpc, JLF., Colonel Cholloner, &c, Jpm 

During tho afternoon the Puke of Richmond, accompanied by several of too 
above-named, visited too painting by Mr. Ward* toe Royal Academician, of the 
Alderney bull, cow* and cair, at which they expressed the highest gratification

TUB THEATRES. 

COVEN-I-GARDEN. 

On Wednesday, Mr. Bunn produced, with grunt splendour, tha Iong-nnnnnneed 
opora of "Quentin Durward -" the libretto by Mr. Fltzhall, who has Ingeniously 
constructed it so as to unsure tlie recurrence of striking sc on wand tableaux In the 
appropriate places* Judiciously disporting the combats, procftttiuDa.&c^and tom re- 
florin g the love passages and tha dead level Of operatic action, Hndprodueing a good 
melodramatic whole. After the approved fashion, the opera opens with a 
spirited Inin ting chorus* after wkleli Durteard (Mr. Harrison) sings a 

pretty aria* H I cams from the land of the motintofn,” in which he was 
encored, in the second scene, Mr. Rnr rural (Louis XI) rings iti the 
Interior of the u Fleur do Lya" a noog in ills character of Moitre Fiore* The 
melody is lively, hut not very refined. It was qncored. A duet following 
shortly after, between IsobeUe (Mrs, Donald King) and Quentin Durword, is 
prettily written* and was charmingly sung. The whole of toejftwfo 1 to the firat 
act, commencing with the chorus of the Scotch archers, " Frao the land o' heath 
and heather,” is Unit of spirit and vigour. 

In the portions of tha concerted mode given to I subfile there is much beauti¬ 
ful writing* wlilch contrasts pleasingly with the louder and more martial music 
rang by the rest. Towards the Close of the second act Imbelk lias an aria, 
'* Yes, memory returns," tho melody simple and stately, which was sung plain¬ 
tively and feelingly by Mrs, Donald King; and at the Close of this act, which 
terminates with the attack Ob Liege by the Boor of Ardmn^, there Is much 
spirited and characteristic music* varied by a prayer of the terrified woman, in 
which there is an organ accompaniment, well managed to heighten the effect. 

The third act eompriites the meeting of Lotds and the Duke Burgundy, the 
escape of Quentin and Isabelle, the discovery and punishment of Tristran (by 
Whose memos the attack of the Boar qf Antoines and the revolt of the Ltegeola 
have been brought about), and the final destruction of imforn* do la Jfori by 
Quentin, who receives for his reward the hand of Isabelle, Mr, Rorrani threw 
much emphasis, und more dramatic effect than is usual with him, into his 
defiance to Burgundy, A pretty dnot, set to a flowing melody, between Isabelle 
and Qwnjfo, in their flight, was admirably mng by Mrs* D, King and Mr. Har¬ 
rison ; and the Utter sang his ballad* “ Alone I urn in sorrow/' at the end: of tha 
scene whore Isabelle quits him for the convent, with much more feeling and deli¬ 
cacy than usual, ThQjhmle, by Isabelle, “ Ltke crystal streams, w Jr a light* 
bounding air, espnartng naturally the sentiment of Joy of which It lathe vehicle* 
It was sung clmrmircglybyMre, Donald King, 

The opera was successful—partly as a spectacle, anti partly from the merit of 
the music, which* although ambitious, indicated premise of more* and of a higher 
order, hereafter. The aim and ballads show that the young composer (M, Lau¬ 
rent) has a flue ear for melody, and Indicate that ho should trust more to his own 
resources. The accompaniments throughout the opera* although from time to 
time noisy, ore nevertheless lu keeping from first to last; and* especially in the 
more striking situations, ft Is evident that M. Laurent is imbued deeply with dra¬ 
matic feeling In what ho writes. 

PRINCESS', 

On Wednesday a new filin' ballad was produced here with success. It Is en¬ 
titled w ftbfeln Goodfellaw,” and Is the composition of Mr. Loder* Oftlio ten 
twelve pieces charmingly executed by Miss Poole, two are sure to become re¬ 
ceived favourites-™" Not for the sunny strand.” and 11 Oh t were not this a 
world of bliss *' 1 The Jfoania of the fairy scenes has also several pretty airs as¬ 
signed to her. Mr. Charles Bretitam has a sentimental ballad, "When in hap¬ 
pier days*” not particularly new in its general material* but pleasingly elabo¬ 
rated* and well executed; and a song of a more jocund turn, which comes off 
roundly. Mr* Weiss has several eengs—one of them effective enough—** Sing 
nio the songs of old. 1 * The drornases are good, and well sung. 

Tho story of the piece le briefly thisPuri* or Hotel* GoodfeUw, having In- 
eumd Qvflwi mania’s displeasure, tt expelled the realms of Fairy Land, and 
hi* banishment is to bo perpetual, unless within a given time lin find out what Ls 
dearest to ft woman's heart. He Is allowed three guesses; the failure of the 
Last Is to sign Ills doom. He repairs to earth* In the time of the Commonwealth, 
end too plot takes a turn somewhat after the fashion of " [ Puritan!/' The 
third experiment alone is raccessful* when Robin ascertains, that to have liar 
will is what is dearest to woman's heart j and Titanict owning the soft impeach¬ 
ment, Robin Gootlfeliotti is received into tha besom of Ids family* and so the 
piece ends. The scenery is very pretty* and the piece well put on the stage, 

MARYLEBONE, 

On Monday evening* a two act drama, by Mr. Charles Selby* was produced at 
this theatre, and wa» entirely successful, It Is called u The Witch of Winder- 
mere/' and this is the only omit we have to find with It* since* with much at¬ 
tention, we could not exactly make out what connexion tho plot had with the 
title* except tlint there was a pretty view of the Juke in tho first net, nicely 
painted by Mr* Da yen. Tho rtory is very simple. A village coquette throws 
over her rustic lover for a London footman j but. on the occasion of a boat up¬ 
setting on the lake, the countryman displays such courage* whilst the professor 
Of "fluakeyana" proves to be such a poltroon* that the former Is immediately 
restored to the good opinions of Ills mUti-ess. Thera la scarcely enough In this 
for two acts, it will be readily conceived; but Mr. Buckstcme, as tho rustic* was 
so amusingly fanny* in spite of a savers cold that almost took away bis voice, 
til at ho could Jiave carried anything, A scene in which, driven to despair, he 
takes some champagne (which ho has boon told is poison), and getting tipsy 
thereon believes he to “ going,” was greeted with continuous roars of laughter. 
His anxiety* also, to make himself genteel in the eyas oMifs lady love* by con¬ 
stant! v studying the " Book of Etiquette,” was capitally worked up, Mrs. FJtz- 
willfam was. as she always U* “ tolling 11 and natural; but the part Of a girlish 
coquette Is not so much lu her line as characteristic r$la tike Welly O’Wdtt and 
.similar creations, A word should be gi van to Mr, Saunders for his exce I ten t foot* 
man—the beau ideal of "JeatnaE Mr. G. Cooke* who returned to these boards

STAllVING A Jl*BT I»TO A VEUJICT- 

We grunt it to he an absurd and Monstrous custom—a more senseless relic of 
barbarism—to keep the Jury* w hite in deliberation* without any reasonable de¬ 
gree of refreshment. It originated In a desire to keep the Jury free from tntem- 
peronca* Spatmaa tells us that tha Council of Klee ordained that “ judicea non 
nisi Jejuni legea et Jtidicia decernant that Charlemagne ordained* let M ju- 
dlcea esusas audiant et discern anti" u aaid from these ancient rites of 
the church and Empire*” ha says, M is our law derived* which prohibiten* our 
Jurors* being Jitdices do focto* to havo meat, drink* Are* or candle-light, till they 
be agreed of their verdict.” There can surely be no reason far continuing this 
absurd usage at tho present day f ft ought, certainly* to be in tlm power of tha 
Judge, as well to order the .Jury refreshment* after they have retired to consfder 
their verdict, as ho does ail through the trial* fo eases whore they are not 
allowed to separate- Beyond doubt* ha ought to have a discretion in tho matter* 
so as to guard against tho fodulgeneo being abused, as he haa now a discretion 
as to th£ time which he nrmy keep the Jury before they ure discharged. But this 
praeftcofli keeping tho Jury wltiiout food la wholly distinct from that of re- 
q hr ■ cm to bo untmlmcms in their verdict; the one may be altered* and we 
conceive St should bo: and we may yet retain all tha security tor a careful In¬

Mar Lodge belongs to too Euil of Fife* and Is occupied as shooting qaarterabr 
the Duke of Leeds* whose Scotch title is Baron Dunblane. He resides there for 
two or three months at the close of summer* and has rendered himself Quite po¬ 
pular in the district, portly from his attachment to old Highland customs and 
his encouragement of Highland games and societies. The great flood of |sgg 
committed tremendous ravages on the property at Mar Lodge, A very beautiful 
bridge was swept away by too torrent, which covered tho vole from hmxX to 
brec, and threatened too housa with the fete of too bridge. Since that time very 
costly embankments have been raised to protect the property against similar vl- 
eftatione. Nineteen years had passed away* however*and the bridge was not re¬ 
built i w hen* in last August, tho Poke of Leeds was informed that her Majesty, 
Prince Albert* and the Royal Family would occupy Balmoral* which stands 
fifteen miTes further down toe river, Tho gallantry of Sir Walter Italcleb* who 
spread his cloak os a carpet for Queen Elizabeth to land on* has Its place In his¬ 
tory. It was* however, a sorry compliment when compared with that paid by 
the noble Dnko to Royalty. Anticipating the honour of a visit from her Ma¬ 
jesty, ho built a brill«e over the Dee.’opposite the Lodge* and nearly at the spot 
where the former bridge was placed, In order to save the Royal party front the 
necessity of adopting tho usual mid less convenient access to too Lodge. It In a

REMARKABLE HYBRID, 

Thu remarkable Ally (scran months old) was found a short time slues in the 
New Forest, and Is evidently of a mixed bread, between the horse and the d«r. 
Her mother (a pony mare) was observed to associate with some red deer stags 
In the New Forest for some months, and, at last, this foal was seen by her side. 
The nose shews a proximity both to the stag and horse; her forehead la round* 
like that of the deer; legs slender and distinctly double ■ hoofs pointed* and 
partly double; colour brown, lighter under the belly; and tall like a deer. 

This extraordinary animal ft the properly of T. G. Attwater, E#u., of Atfcwater, 
at tbo village of Bodenham, throe mile* from Salisbury. Dr, Fowler, of that city* 
has inspected, the Hybrid, and ft quite satisfied of the correctness of the preced¬

BAMAKO'S PANORAMA OF THE MISSISSIPPI AND 
MISSOURI RIVERS, 

This la Just the season for prodigies; and, opportunely enough, a painting of 
toft cluae was opened on Monday for exhibition at the Egyptian Hail, in Picca¬ 
dilly* The picture ft stated to be painted on three miles of canvass, exhibiting a 
view of country of 3000 miles In length, extending on the Missouri and Hft* 
filaeippi rivers, through the very heart of America, to the city of New 
Orleans, We must take the artist's voucher for the dimensions of hft 
work i but we can answer for its having occupied nearly two mortal hours 
n unrolling from off cylinders, on Saturday night last, when a private 
view was given of the pictorial wonder* It ft shown in what ft termed 
the " dioratnic” fashion, with the aid of strong gas light; tho picture being in¬ 
closed in a sort of dark proscenium; and too apartment in which the audience 
are seated Is alike darkened. Upon a platform Ln front ft seated Mr. Banvard, 
wilt) explains tho localities, as tbs picture moves, [and relieves hft narrative 
with Jonstbinftroa flfid Jokes, poetry aud patter* which delight hie audience 
mightily; and a piano-forte ft Incidentally invoked, to relieve the oarralive 
monotony. 

The painter* in hla catalogue, modestly tells m that ho does not exhibit this 
painting as a work of art. but as a correct representation of tha country it por¬ 
trays ; and Us high reputation at home ft bawd upon its remarkable accuracy 
and truthfulness to nature. The picture baa much of these characteristics; hero 
and there bits are very effectively painted, bat the majority ft of the level of 
scene-work j though, on toft account* the better fitted for exhibition by arti¬ 
ficial light. The river scenery is of greater variety than might have bean 
expected; and Its flatness ft relieved by many epftodal groups which illus¬ 
trate the manners, customs, and modes of life, of the dwellers on toe 
banks. Now and then, we have the incident of a steamer upset by 14 snags. 1 ' and 
left an useless log upon the waters; and thou* a well-freighted vessel, steaming 
in all the pride of a river race* with a wonderful prodigality of steam and human 
life, imparts great animation to too scene, Then we have bluffs* bars. Islands, 
rocks aud mounds, points and cliffs, without number* and of fantastic 
varieties of form; encampments and war-dances; banting-grounds and 
burial-places; prairies with their giant grasses, perchance burning to 
tlie very horizon; lug cabins and village*, sometimes nestling in natural 
amphitheatres, and at ethers perched upon the rock tops; and a great 
variety ft Imparted to the Exhibition by showing It under different 
Influences, « night and daybreak, moonlight and coming storm* The principal 
places on the rivers are St. Louie, a French-built town, with a host uf steamboats 
and river-craft, ■* bound to all points of the beatable waters of the Mississippi ; 11 
next is Cairo, which, from Its geographical position, and the Immense range of 
navigable rivers, all centering at toft point, Is destined to become one of the 
largest inland cities in the United States. From Cairo to the Gulf of Mexico 
the navigation is always open for steamer* of the largest class* Above this point, 
the Ohio and Mississippi, in winter, are often dosed by Ice, and to summer 
impeded by low water* Hence the Importance Of the Central Railroad* 
commenced from tola place by the State, to connect It with tha llliuoft 
and Michigan Canal* Galena, and Chicago; and which, whenever com¬ 
pleted, will form too most direct, speedy, and certain route, at all &&&-

th a South-W«tsre and North-Western States. Memphis 
Is beautifully situated, but does not justify ita grand name. President's 
Island shows cotton plantations, with slates at work, not forgetting the planteni' 
mansions, “ the negro quarters, *' and the cypresses, the pride of the southern 
forests* Natchez la romantically placed on a very high bluff, and is much the 
largest town in the State of Mississippi} the upper town being 300 feet above the 
river level. Baton Bongo Is now the capital of Louisiana : from thenco, the river 
below, to New Orleans, fa lined with splendid sugar plantations, and what la 
generally termed the H Coast F+ —a strip of lend ou either ride of the rivor* ex¬ 
tending hack to the cypress swamps, about two miles. It will raise nearly all 
the tropical fruits—oranges, figs, olives, and the like; and is protected from in¬ 
undations by an embankment of earth of six or eight feet in height, ceiled a 
levee. Behind tho levee we see extensive augar-fleldjs, noble mansions, beantL 
ful gardens, large sugar*houses, groups of negro quarters, lofty churches, splendid 
villas, presenting, in all, one of the finest views In the United States, 
The pictured ourney terminates, with New Orleans. This is the great com¬ 
mercial emporium of the south, situated on the eastern shore of the river, In a 
bend so deep end sinuous, that the sun rises to the Inhabitants of the city over 
the opposite shore. The harbour presents an area of many acres, covered with 
all the grotesque variety of flat-boats, keeMw&to, and water-craft of every de¬ 
scription, which line the upper part o f the shore. Steamboats rounding to, or sweep¬ 
ing away, cast their long horizontal streams of smoko behind them. Sloops, 
Boboonets, brigs, and ships occupy the wharves, arranged below each other, In 
the order of their size, showing a forest of masts; and the whole, seen In the 
bright colouring or the brilliant sun and sky of the climate, presents a splendid 
spectacle. 

Our Artist has selected for Illustration tho Bluffs of Semin, on the Mississippi; 
they have a very striking and majestic appearance, varying from two to four 
hundred feet in height; some of them resembling the of tamples^-tho 

face of them having uniform arches and carved niches. 

The painting or this Picture Is a story of domestic romance and boyish ambition 
—though that of producing the largest picture in the world, Bonvard mode tho 
first sketch for the Panoraam j nut before he become of age, in 1845, To complete 
his drawings* ha travelled thousands of miles in open skiffs, and experienced ad- 
venturo such as would have terrified any but an enthusiast from so perilous a 
labour. However, single-handed, he has completed his work ; anti It ia well 
worth the patronage of all who delight in doing justice to self-taught genius.

we were the centre of a crowd. I dfd not care tot such an honour, and hastened 
to escape from it, Oscar was at last calmed i a peaceful serenity spread ifaelf 
over his features. Besides, a now spectacle now absorbed Mm. We chanced 
upon a procession. Corporations of workmen filled the boulevards, and ad¬ 
vanced to wards us wltJi flying oolouni. Tho trumpet sounded, songs filled tho 
air. As far “ tho eye could see we beheld a moving mm, above which floated 
a thousand flags. Cries arose from it adding a significant commentary to the

are good, because yon are strong. You are good and strong, because you are 
strong and good. You are vigorous as an athlete, but you have the graceful¬ 
ness of childhood. Jerome, in such moments as these, tears start to my eyea, 
whan I think that this people belongs to me, really to me, Its friend and 
painter. So much devotion for same palettes full of paint: you overwhelm me, 
generous people!" 

" Thon ft fa really your people ? H I said to the artist, trying to outer into his 
Ideas. 

Hl Let us understand each other, Jerome. Others claim It: every one usurps 
the people, and speaks In tho name of the people* Every scribbler pretends 
they back him. Ono convokes them to meet him at the Hostile; another, at 
the Champ de Mars. They are used for everything—for proceasioiis, proclama¬ 
tions, and bulletins. They are so good J Bat they are yet not every body's. 
They belong only to two persons to tho world—to rao, and to some one I 
know," 

The popular tide passed on; and when the artist had finished his harangue, 
the boulevard was empty. He sent a last blessing after tho crowd, and accom¬ 
panied me to my hotel. 

In future, ho did not leave mo. Wo become almost Inseparable. I,lnvalu f 
endeavoured to escape; he clung to me. Ho promised me that I should see the 
Minister; that he would smooth the way, and open the door of the Cabinet for 
me. Where Oise could I find so devoted a companion ?

MONETARY TRANSACTIONS OF THE WEEK, 

{From our City Correspondent .) 

Scarcity of Stock and abundance ef money continued to auppnrt and improve 
(be market at the beginning of the week. Consols opened ftt UTgf t. cloaing at 
87 j; and on Tucaday a rumour that tbe Bunk Dlrectoia would probably reduce 
the rate of interest on Iobus upon stock added firmness to prices, which nfter- 
warda improved to $8 for money and t|m* r Notwithstanding this upward ten¬ 
dency. h lending speculator on Monday gave $ percent, for the " call'* Of 
300,000 Console at H7| next occonut. Tlie market on Wednesday opened flrmly 
with Consols at but shortly afterwards a sale of £0,000 at 8«, followed by 
another nf the same umqlint at 871, dumped the market. It Boon transpired 
that there Sales formed part of tbe public loan author]sod towards the close of 
the last session of Parliament. The effret was r further decline to 
; land again on Thursday, to 871 £. Should these sales be 
continued, the " bull M party will he severe safferers. For some 
lime a great scarcity of stock has prevailed; consequently, the tirurs have bren 
uniible to deliver. On settling-day, therefore, a continuation bus been paid, or 
tho account “honght in," which tatter necessity bus tended to enhance 
prices. Should the Govornmont continue sellers* the face of tho Account will 
of emme bo dunged, stock becoming plentiful instead of Bcaree. Thta will 
cause prices to tend flewnwnrds, more particularly if money out of doom (for 
which there ta a growing demand) ghotiid become a Little dearer. From thft 
state of the Market at the close or the week, some apprehension of a decline ta 
evidently felt. Exchequer Bills have not materially varied, nor India Bonds. 
Now Three-iind-a-Qaarich per Ceuta ora still slightly below tho relative value.

STANFIELD HALL. 

W* hiwe engraved the scene of the recent awasvaatlcii In Norfolk —StaMsId 
Hall, etmated In a flee park* a short distance from Wymondham. The details 
of the tragedy were given La our Journal of last week; and the results of the 
■ervcral jfivei ligations Into the drcuoutahcea will bo found at page 366 of the 
present Number. 

The Hall la a capacious edifice. In the ElLt abethan style ; it U surro nnded by 
a meat, acraaa which them la a stone bridge directly in its front, with an iron 
gate at the foot of the bridge. The principal entrance Is by a porch In the 
centra, which leads into a large hall, and from thence to an inner hall, called 
the Staircase Hill, in consequence of Its containing the staircase, and is lighted 
from the top. Around this are the galleries leading to the upper apartments. 
Tho dining-room door, as will l>e seen by the plan* l* the first door on the left- 
hand Hide in the staircase hall, and the second door on the same aids leads to 
the drawingroom. Hie study door la at tho end j and the cornet directly oppo¬ 
site 1* that where the younger Mr. Jenny, Mrs. Jenny, anil'the servant, were 
shot. Tho distance from the illnlng-room door to the corner is perhaps about 
twelve yard* j the offices are to the right ip which this passage leads, terminati¬ 
ng in a small door hi front of the hall, not more than tan yards front the prin¬ 
cipal entrance- It was by this door the accused was accustomed to enter when

Sunday.

HXJ Tim MENTAL TCCHtBITlON OF THE 1LKCTKIO LIGHT IN TRAPALG AH-BQUATIE* 


GUERNSEY ROYAL AGRICUfiTORAL SOCIETY. 

The handsome memorial which we hare engraved, wrn presented to Harry 
Dobnfe, Esq*, by tbo Quamsey Royal Agricultural Society, at a public dinner, 
given at MarahfllTe Royal Yacht Club Hotel, Guernsey, on the 22nd nit. 

Tho act of presentation was performed by the Chairman, William Dalgavios, 
Esq., the President of the Society, who described the testimonial as a memorial 
of The respect and gratitBdo of the agrtcnlturlstJi and others of Guernsey. Mr, 
Pobrde had well earned this mark of public feeling. He had been one Of tho 
earliest friends of tho society, and by his untiring zeal through many Tears 1 ser¬ 
vice In the office of President he had done more than any other Individual to 
bring the agriculture of the Island to its present state. He (the Chairman) had 
had the pleasure? of co-operating with Mr, Dobrofe, and he, an well as eveiy other 
member of the eoclety, bad had ample opportunities of appreciating his kind 
and amiable disposition, and his ardent devotion to the Interests of Guernsey, 
He therefore proposed tho health of “Mr. Debtee and hie family (Loud 
cheers.) 

Mr. Dobteo thanked the company, and candtided a well-timed ad¬ 
dress, by proposing 41 Health and prosperity to the Members of the Royal Agri¬ 
cultural Society," which was drunk with enthusiasm ; and the conviviality of 
the meeting was protracted till a late hoar. 

The testimonial Is a silver gilt vase and cover, between eighteen and twenty 
Inches in height, mine i£?5. The design* are In dead gold, and the toltugc and 
other enrichment* are burnished. It Is, altogether, a characteristic composition 
our Engraving of It la from a sketch by Mr* Kaftel. 

On the morning of the day ot presentation} was held the Winter Show of the 
Guernsey Royal Agricultural Society. In wheat and potatoes there was a con¬ 
siderable railing off; bat a partial compensation has been derived from the 
cropE of tarnipo, mangold-wurzel* parsnips, carrots, &c., which, owing to the 
humidity of tho season, have yielded la anusual abundance, ihe produce in some 
instances having exceeded forty tans per acre. Other kinds of forage, such as 
hay, clover, lucerne, fee,, liave also bean most abundant; and altogether the 
farmer ho* been supplied with ample means of tattooing his stock and keeping 
up Mb dairy* 

In addition to the samples of com, roots* and hay, there was also * good show 
of poultry, giving evidence that fids branch of nirol economy, which, until 
lately, has been too much neglected, Is now duly and successfully attended to. 
There was likewise an excellent display Df butter, tally maintaining, by Its fla¬ 
vour mud colour, the pre-eminence which Guernsey has long enjoyed in regard 
to this produce, not only ever England, but also over the other Channcllftbuids* 
Mr. La flair exhibited a remarkably fine hog, of the breed known by the name 
of Lord Western's. 

Several ingenious agriculture! instruments were, exhibited on this occasion. 
That which possessed the greatest merit warn an apple-mill, the invention of Mr* 
Terode. The great desideratum wt th dder-makero hoe ever been to find a meaci 
of effectually crushing tho apples so as to extract the whole of the J nice os well 
as the flavour Of the seeds. Mr. Torodota Invention consist* of two wooden 
rollers, on© of which Is furnished with several row* of fcuivoo, and the other in¬ 
dented with corresponding grooves. These rollers lay hold of the apples, cut 
them in siloes, and then transmit thorn to two stone-grinders which ore placed 
beneath them j and these reduce the whole to & uniform pulp, which* on being 
pressed* readily yields the whole of ita Juke, 



fflLYER-GILT VASE PRESENTED TO »* fcODREE, 1ESQ*, OF GUERK8KY* 


Mr* Lo Contour, of tho Forest, exhibited a remarkably powerful subsoil 
plough, on the principle of those used In England for deep ploughing, bat with 
eorno improvements* Invented by Mr* Lo BoatUUer, or Jersey. The chief supe¬ 
riority of this in&(rumeni over the great plough, at presentused Lit Guernsey* la 
that ft can be worked with half the number of oxen or horees which are requited 
for tho latter. _ 

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT. 

On Tuesday night there woa a second public experimental exhibition of the 
Electric Light upon the raised steps forming the entrance to the National Gal¬ 
lery and 4116 ftoyal Academy. There woe a large attendance of adentifle gen¬ 
tlemen and noblemen. Upon tbs summit of tho steps a Mad of easel woe raised, 
beneath which were placed tho battery md a maall lamp. About a foot above 
the battery was the light produced burning upon two pieces of charcoal, backed 
fey a single tin reflector* and the light enclosed within a glass case* The light 
produced was of a most powerful character* 
in our last Number wo entered briefly into the raiionah of the Electric Light, 
and showed that it would bo still a costly experimental toy. We have now to 
direct oar attention more particularly to its practical application. 

The Electric Light possesses no novelty. Year After year it has been exhi¬ 
bited at every course of phR«OpMail lectures since die time of Sir Humphry 
Davy, and therefore really its practicability forms the whole subject for cou- 
Riderattan, 

For its practicability, the light must be continued without the aid of the hu¬ 
man hand to guide It* We are not aware, however, that any person has yet pre¬ 
tended that he could give a steady tight, without touching It, even for a single 
hour* If It bo so. we have not seen tho statement, and It does not augur Well tor 
the Bchemo for such Information to be withheld* 

During Ite exhibition, a large mirror bee been employed, which, by reflecting 
the tight, makes distant objects appear more brilliant than they otherwise would* 
Now* hi the esttroatlon of the value of the light, It would bo advisable that it 
should shine forth with Its own unaided brilliancy. 

With respect to the battery, although we taut week pointed out the result! 
upon which It was necessary to be amply informed, no statement has appeared* 
making known the number of cells used, the kind of battery employed* and tho 
labour and time required for changing them. 

We again ask tor Infoirnation upon these matters. As strenuous advocates for 
the promotion of the application of Electricity for the want* of man, we feel 
bound to call particular attention to all these points. What la trno of Sialte'e 
Electric Light is true of all other tnvuntk.na in ihe same subject; tor it will not 
do to come before tbe public with a brilliant light. That phenomenon In known. 
They must produce tldi brilliant light In a constant stream without continued *t- 
teotlom end at a fair price without extraordinary trouble* 

We require to be satisfied upon the following points t -How tong will the light 
remain without the Illuminating apparatus being touched ? What Is tbo cost 
per hour of working the battery ? What I* the labour per day ot attending 
the batteries ? Is there any danger or excessive inconvenience in their applica¬ 
tion? If these questions can bo fairly answered, the Light will Certainly emus 
Into seme use; but If there be a sertoua defect even upon one point, ruin would be 
entailed upon all who enter the undertaking, Tbo Ixjlustxatxd Loano* Nkws 
has facilitated tho progress of the invention, by giving pictorial representations 
of Uio apparatus and appearance, but It is alike raisonubta to show the points 
on which success or tad are dejicnd* 


Stlau Powta roa TttBisare* IfAciiiNia.— Wn have stated that Mr. Stott, 
the spirited proprietor of Nether wood* had, to addition to the other great ita* 
priwments made upon that farm, erected a steam-engine tor driving his Ihraoh-

FRENCH NAPOLEONISM. 

The invasion of Boulogne by Prince Louis Napoleon in a Gravesend 
steamer, and the invasion of Strasburg at the head of a scot© of 
men by the same hero, have ceased to he subjects of ridicule. 
They are no longer to be considered as the freaka cf hair-brained 
folly* bat m the great deeds of a man who was wiser than his time. 
Success m a newer attempt has rubbed the spots from their memory. 
If at om time they appeared ridiculous in the estimation of 
Englishmen* and of all who were not French* it was our ignorance 
of the feelings and aspirations of Frenchmen that caused us to 
consider them bo. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte* the first President 
of the French Republic* knew Frenchmen better. His doings at 
Strasburg and Boulogne had no other faults than no timeliness; 
they were conceived in the light spirit, but they were premature. 
They were planned upon a proper estimate of the wants and 
wishes of the French people. In fact, though looked upon n.s 
allures at the time, they were not failures. They were the pro¬ 
gressive and necessary steps towards an inevitable consummation. 
The mere attempt made apparent the mightiness of the claim. 
The result, which excited the laughter of Englishmen* Germans, 
Italians, Spaniards, Americans,—of all the world, in fact*—excited 
the sympathy of the French. That master hand knew what it 
was about. It knew that France was an instrument upon which it 
could play. All the stops upon the pipe wore familiar to its fin¬ 
gers, Opportunity alone was wanting to produce a fitting melody. 
The stray notes, hurriedly blown* seemed discordant merely because 
they were interrupted; hut there was harmony between the pipe and 
the fingers. They were formed for each other* and, in due timei, 
Horatio was destined to play upon Hamid?* recorder, and discourse 
upon it the eloquent music of success and power. 

We can form no other opinion, when we reflect upon the remark¬ 
able majority by which Louis Napoleon Bonaparte has been voted 
into the Presidency of the French Republic* Fivc-rixtbs of the 
adult male population of France have recorded their votes in his 
f avour. The other sixth were not unanimous in favour of his com¬ 
petitor. On the one hand* was a Bonaparte—-strong in his name, 
but tn nothing else—without talents or eloquence that the world had 
ever had any opportunity of witnessing—without the recommen¬ 
dation of any service ever rendered to the country'—without even the 
prestige of character to support Mm. Chi the other side, was a 
man whose high position had been acquired by his personal merit 
—a mau who had saved the nation from anarchy—a man who, but 
a few short months before, bad been greeted with die acclamations 
of every individual in France who had a decent coat upon his 
back—a man who not only aspired to power, but possessed it—a 
man who, in a time of unparalleled difficulty* bad acted with un¬ 
paralleled honesty of purpose, simplicity, and success— a man of 
sincere convictions* high integrity, great talent, and proved services* 
France was appealed to, to decide between them. The world 
looked on with breathless interest. The eventful day tu rived—the 
Votes wore summed up : the name Bonaparte acquired upwards 
of five million votes ; the man Cavaignac little more than 
one million* Such was the result, and it will be long 
before Europe recovers from her surprise at the announcement* 
But surprised or not, it is highly important that England should 
understand what are the ideas which Franco attaches to this re- 
markable and powerful name. u Napoleanmn “ is the u ismthat 
triumphs over Republicanism, Communism, and every other form 
of political faith. We know perfectly well the ideas which are at¬ 
tached to it oiit of France. The great Napoleon was the parricide 
of the freedom from which he sprang* Under the iron heel of bis 
grinding despotism he crushed the intellect of France. He allowed 
of no thought hostile to his own. The Empire produced no writer 
except Madame de Stael j and Napoleon feared, hated, and perse¬ 
cuted her for daring to think. The whole machinery of the State 
was inimical to every manifestation of opinion that was not in ac¬ 
cordance with the stiff insatiable despotism of the proudest, most 
selfish, most unfeeling, most irresponsible autocrat that ever breathed* 
Napoleon, in the bitter days of his exile, confessed that he had out¬ 
raged the nations. But he outraged France also. To use the 
words of Auguste Barbier, the only French poet who lias been 
superior to the hero-worship of his countrymen, the u peat Napo¬ 
leon” was 

-tun voleur do ronroruie,

And not only did he strangle liberty; he decimated and redeci¬ 
mated the people, to provide human aliment for the greedy stomach 
of his ambition. Beyond the boundaries of France ho was tlio 
scourge of humanity; a crowned and sceptered pestilence, permitted 
by Providence to lay waste for a season the fairest realms of 
Europe. Is it the melancholy termination of his career that has 


blinded the French to his faults and crimes? Have they so much 
pity for the sorrows of the man, that they forgive the atrocities of 
the EhJperor ? and, in elevating to the highest dignity which is at 
present in their gift the inheritor of his name and the representative 
of his family, do they expect the new Napoleon to rival or to imi¬ 
tate the old? Perhaps they are of opinion that the splendour of 
the first Napoleon's achievements was well and cheaply bought at 
the price of domesLic tyranny and the conscription. Perhaps they 
would 'toot object to suffer both again* if the same result 
could ‘be obtained* It is possible that they think militaiy 
glory the highest earthly good ; the conquest of Europe, the 
mission of the French; and throat-cutting the proper 


business of civilised men* But, if they think none of these 
things, it ta desirable to know what sentiment lies at the bottom of 
their homage to the name of Napoleon—a sentiment which is so 
strong as to consider that name, without proved latent or 
capability, superior to proved talent and capability with any other 
name, and to elevate it to dignity by a burst of acclamation suffi¬ 
cient to turn the brain of a wiser personage than Napoleon's 
nephew can be considered, and to excuse any stretch of ambition 
of which he may hereafter be guilty. It may be, that, having made 
amende to the memory of Napoleon for the darkness of the misery 
in which he died on the rock of St Helena, by electing a chief of 
Ms blood to the supreme authority over them, they may think they

have done enough. It is just possible that in rendering the homage, 
they may have taken the tnleuts and the virtues for grunted; nnd 
that they may expect to find a statesman, and not a battle-monger, 
in their future ruler. In the one case we cun see no hope for 
Prance, and no prospect for the new Napoleon, but a misery and 
failure greater than those experienced by the pre-owner of the 
name. In the other case, we can see hopes both for France and her 
President—a chance of repose and progress for the one, and of fair 
renown for the other- We must own, however, that our fears 
jrreatly preponderate over our hopes. It seems to us that the 
French prate of liberty, but that they do not understand it 
They talk of being in the van of European civilisation 
when their proper place is in the rear. Modem Europe 
is industrious, and not warlike. But France, we suspect, is 
filled with the wind of military glory, Frenchmen generally do 
not exclaim with the poet from whom wc have already quoted, 
i( how much blood and outrage, how many teal's has this hard and 
udo soldier Napoleon cost ua— all for the sake of a few sprigs of 
worthless Laurel I ” On the contrary, they seem to value the sprigs 
of laurel as the choicest of earthly blessings, and to think them 
cheap ut aU the misery, past, present, and future, at which they 
may be purchased. Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity are mighty 
words. The whole conduct of the French proves that, although 
they preached, they did not understand them. Tho French, in 
fact, are not ripe for freedom, if their conduct since February 24th 
is to prove their ripeness. They are intolerant of each other. They 
are for settling all disputes by physical violence. They are for 
coercing every in an whom they cannot convince. Their whole 
thought is of the strong hand. Their education, is tyrannical ; and 
even while they talk lustily of freedom, ©quality, and brotherhood, 
they admire and invite tyranny. They revolted in the name of 
liberty, and abused us soon as they acquired it. They abolished 
hereditary monarchy, only to do homage to hereditary despot¬ 
ism at the first convenient opportunity. They stirred the nations 
by great words, and began to prove to those same nations, imme¬ 
diately afterwards, that the word* wero words alone—breath of the 
lips, net feelings of the heart, nor convictions of the judgment. 
They raised hopes one day by their precept, and destroyed them 
on ton next by their example. We may be in error m making this 
estimate of the French character, but the events of every day only 
tend to strengthen it. We ahull be glad to bo convinced that we 
hav© done them injustice. 

In the observations we have made, we throw no imputations 
upon the character of the new President. As wc said last week, 
he may turn out to be wiser and better than the people that elected 
him. Ho may bo thoroughly honest. He may be in all respects 
wdrnt the true friends of France and humanity would desire to find 
Into. Still we must confess that our fears for France are great. 
Louis Napoleon, if inclined to do so, will find it no easy matter to 
resist their military vain-gloriousness. If he do not resist it, he 
will lead France and himself into peril, for Europe is in no mood 
to sulfur a repetition of the past. If he do resist it, a superhuman 
task will lie before him—a task of statesmanship in which all friends 
of rational liberty will pray for his success; but a task in which an 
intellect of the highest grade might fail, if it had such n people as 
the French to deal with. We do not disparage Louis Napoleon 
when we say that, as yet, the world knows nothing of his capabi¬ 
lities for tho good-generalship of the one course, or the wise states¬ 
manship of the other. lbs proclamation, as President of the 
Republic, lias taken place somewhat more suddenly than was 
expected. In consequence, it would appear, of information 
received by the Government of General Cavaignac, that demon- 
ettradons calculated to provoke insurrection were meditated, both 
by the Socialist and by those ultra-Napoleonista who dream of the 
restoration of the Empire, measure* were secretly taken to proclaim 
the new President without previous notice to the public. At the 
sitting of the Assembly on Wednesday, General Cavaigime an¬ 
nounced that the Ministers had placed their resignations in his 
hands ; am! he also laid down the powers with which the Assembly 
hail entrusted him, with the expression of iris cordial gratitude for 
the confidence which had been reposed in, and the support which 
had been afforded, him. The new President then made a abort 
and effective speech ; and crossing over to General Cavaigunc, 
shook him warmly by the hand, amid the loud applause of the 
Glutmber and the spectators. Salvoes of artillery in the 
Place de la Concorde then announced to the astonished 
citizens ike commencement of the new Administration ; and 
the ceremony concluded, Paris remained perfectly tranquil. 


continue hla roatdonce there, Tho arts of diplomacy wore first exercised to 
procure his banhfoment; but the sturdy. Ifberty-Iurtog Swiss refused to listen 
In ho tyrannies! an interference, and declined compliance with the hLuted 
wishes of the French Monarch, Ait having thus failed, force must be 
employed; and Louis Philippe prepared an army to Compel obedience 
to his will Unalarmed at these preparations, the SwIm collected Oh army of 
20,000 men to reairt the aggression. The Prince, foreseeing the inevitable result 
of so unequal a can lest, addressed, a letter to the Landsman of the Canton of 
T J human, expressing hla determination to quit the loved place of bis asylum, 
Tatlier than subject the country to all the horrors of war. England was then 
hi* chosen abode. In tMO the landing at Boulogne took place : the Prince was 
taken prisoner, rad condemned to perpetual Imprisonment. "At faojHE I shall 
die in Franco,” was the reply of the Prince when informed of hfa sentence. 
While In confinement at Ham, tho Prince passed mttch of Ills time in writing; 
hut, during tho whole of his Imprisonment, ho never lost tho hope of being able 
to quit the fortress. At length, after an Imprisonment of nearly art yearn, he 
executed his singular escape. The particulars of this cow are, no doubt, 
present to the recollection of our readers. England, again, wua the only mro 
piuco of refuge ; and here ho continued to reside till the late extraordinary 
events called him to Ida still mare extraordinary position. How ho; will 
conduct himself then*, wo do wot pretend to foresee. 

Franco wants an appearance, at least, ft not a reality, in the atffblUty of Its 
Government; and tit!Hint takes place, all foreign ami all domestic interests are 
Injured. Louis Napoleon Is called upon to fill a most Important post, and we 
hope that lie may have tho power untf fire ability to support its requirements.

The last net of the great electoral struggle lies been accomplished, and Lento 
Napuleon has been prcelaimed President of the Republic, Tills event took place 
hi the National Assembly on Wednesday, contrary to Ehe general ex^ctatEon, 
according to which Thursday was to have been tho dny, and Uuis Lho attempts ttt 
disturbance, w hich the enemies Oi order were understood to be organising for 
til© day of proclamation, were frustrated. The Government had boon Informed 
that a demonstration was Intended, on the occasion of the proclamation of Prince 
Louto, and thut the latter would bo saluted by the crowd with cries of 11 Vive 
rtimpereur!" and they therefore resolved to anticipate hla inaUltetloa by sotne

time t he mays adjotiun g the pal see were 1 In ed with d ragoOhS. The presence of 
thcao titKJtop which nobody could account tor, created much uneasiness, though 
In (ftune groups a report drculated that ttto Assembly was about to proclaim the 
pieiideni of & Republic, 

At half-past three o'clock M, MarraiiE, President, look the chair. The Assem¬ 
bly was extremely unsneious. and aniniftted groups were to bn seen here and 
there through the hall, i’rineu Louis Napoleon was not present at the opening 
Of tho sitting, but his cousin, Jerome Buomtp&rte, occupied hto seat. The public 
gaUcrtra were crowded, in one of them we remarked Prince® Mathilda, sister 
of Jerome, and next to her M. EmUe dn Girerdln. 

Two aidc^deKMunp. appointed in the morning by tho Prince, Jf* Ldgar Ney 
and a son of General Pajol, were also present. x . 

No serious dlucosslori could take place in the «tate of excitera ant of the Asscm*

INDIA. 

Advices—dated respectively Calcutta the 6th* Madras fith* and Bombay the 
16th ult.—have been received this week. In anticipation of the Overland MalL 
The Intelligence from the Panjaub is not of any partlcnlar interest, detailing 
pi Inc i pally the movements of the troops to form the army of operations In that 
quarter. Moo)raj was In a Jess favourable position ns regards men and npp- 
plieu. than he had been for some time past; and Cliutlur Singh had not ef¬ 
fected a junction with either of Ms w?ni* although the I reaps of Shore and 
Chatter wore probably not far apart between the Ravee and Chenab, and might 
co-operate. Patar, the other sou of Chuttur, was said to be at Julupoor, on 
the Tbelum* with 15DO men. Lord Gough had determined net to undertake 
any minor operations, or make any movement against detached parties, but 
was willing rather to permit Immunity to the rebels, until the plans of Go¬ 
vernment could be carried out* and a considerable force lake the field. His 
Lordship was said to be displeased with General Whifo for not having attacked 
Shore Singh, when he broke ground from Moulton, His Lordship had ante¬ 
dated a brevet commission for General Auchmaty, commanding the field force 
In Scinde* utid in consequence of which that officer would supersede General 
Whlah when the Bombay force crossed the frontier. There seemed every pro¬ 
bability that the army of operations would anffer great inconvenience la the 
commissariat deportment during the coming campaign, or settlement of the 
country; the arrangements for carriage, also, were said to bo on all bands de¬ 
fective ; irnd even the Commander-In-Chief was delayed for some days for 
n»nt of tent-pitcher*. 

The pontoon across tho Havoc, although within sight of Lahore, had been 
attacked and fired cm several occasions by detached part ies of the SUths. Since 
then It had been strongly occupied, so as to leave no ground of alarm re¬ 
specting this entre-port to the field of operations. General Curator, had since 
crossed some eight miles in advance of the right bank of the Haven* with a 
strong brigade of cavalry and artillery* consisting of her Majesty'* 3d Dra¬ 
goons* the 5th and fith Light Cavalry, two troops of European Horse Artil¬ 
lery, und one Native Artillery troop, with the 2d European Regiment, tho 
70th Native Infantry, end a regiment of Irregular Cavalry—so that this bri¬ 
gade may be regarded &a the advanced ILne of our army. 

Two forts of comdderabJo strength in the Punjab, Moraree and Rangel Nungcl, 
Had been rated by our troops. A t Mool tan, w hich is no longer the centre of In¬ 
surrection* the recent division, of tho enemy's forces had been dictated at least as 
much by the rivalry and distrust of each other, natural iu the Sikh character, as 
by any policy of separate and wide-spread attack. Chuttur and the Duwan are 
now said to be bidding Against each other for the levy* of insurgents* and the 
Dewan hoe had tho worst of the speculation. It Is mostly by the defection of 
troops from MooIUn that Chatter Singh has Increased his forces. The Dewan 
however, at present* showed a front bolder than ever. The few stores that hnvo 
reached General Whlsh's camp had been In great danger from his cavalry, who 
wore continually hovering on the flanks of our poeiUon* ready for any species of 
annoyance. The Dewan, too* bad lately been successful in tho manufacture of 
rockets, at lease as regards their number and range, although the explosion 
could not be rightly timed, so as to alight in the camp. He also opened masked 
and sunk batteries to play upon the camp, and In several instances had nearly 
accomplished his design. General Whish, however* and his gallant assistants, 
Edwardos and Cortlandt* made the game a losing one for the Dewan. Heavy 
cannonades* and the fire of shrapnel and congrevea, especially from Ed warden 
and Cortlandt's camp* were frequently kept up on the enemy's position for many 
hours, and excepting the rockets, which wore not much better than tho Dewan'a, 
our projectiles had mostly told with good effect. Edwardes was likely to be de¬ 
tached from the force before Mooltan to his old position of observation In Btuinoo. 
Maharajah Gholub Singh hod marched a body of hts troops against Chuttur 


no remittances from his estate, ho Iwul been obliged to dispose of some of tho 
costly articles which he had brought Over to this country for the purpose of sale. 
The Boron hod bought soma of those very articles from the Jeweller of King 
Louis PhHippo. The police came to his room and, tank possession, of Ills pro¬ 
perty on a groundleaa suspicion, Tho Baron fofr that he had been grievously 
treated* and that not tho slightest pretence existed fur assailing Ids character* or 
taking possession of Ids property. The Baron had sent to M, Bapst* and to 
other jewellers from whom he had made purchases, and he was ready to show 
how he became possessed of tho articles found hi hla keeping. But he would 
not go into that matter, as the charge had been withdrawn, Ha would content 
himself with saying that his respectable client was ready to show that he was tba 
lawful owner of the Jewellery. With respect to tho picture, that was hot in 
Baron do Bassagne’s possession, and ho need not enter Into that question. Tho 
picture was not part of the Baron's property, but had been committed to the 
care of his secretory, Eughne de Sauinler, The defendants were about to be dis¬ 
charged when a Curtain-house officer came forward and cl«treed to seliis the 
whole of the property* on the around that the articles consisted of foreign goods 
which had. come Into this country without paying duty. Ho wished to impound 
the goods* and to have them taken for safe custody to the Custom-house* until 
the owner could prove that the duty had been regularly paid.—Mr, Wcottier said 
nil the articles hud come over with ihss baggage of the owhstS, They had been 
exhibited at the Custom-house either at Dover or Folkestone, and hud passed as 
passengers' baggage —The Custom-house officer said if the articles had passed 
In the regular way the parties could produce the necessary proofs, lie would 
seize tho property un the part of the Crown. Seals were accordingly placed on 
the property. The do fond on to were then liberated. 


NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE, 

Roial Militaat Academy, Woolwich,— The examination of the gentlemen 
cadets forming the practical or senior class, and studying In the Royal Arseim! 
took place in the hall of that academy on Monday* M^jor General j* u. 
Parker* G.B,, R.A., Lieutenant-Governor of the Institution, officiated as Go¬ 
vernor of the Board Of Examiners. The gentlemen cadets passed a very credita¬ 
ble examination, and twenty passed for commission. Tim regulation swerd* for 
general good conduct and proficiency in studies* was awarded to Hr. W, Gross- 
man ; arul various other prizes of books, mathematical Instruments, Ac., were 
distributed to other students. It is supposed that the whole of the gen; I emeu 
Who passed on thit occasion will be gazetted to tho corps of Royal Artillery* and 
none to the Engineers, as there are no less than 96 vacancies for Second Lieu¬ 
tenants, and three for First Lieutenants, in that corps. 

Depasture op tab Sol-autism or Ex mem,— 1 The squadron commanded by 
Sir C. Napier* and consisting of the following vessels* St. Vincent (flag), /Ware 
Regent, Powerful, Orestes, Stromboli, Reynard, /’/uniter, and ftjt+nan, weighed 
anchor on Sun Any morning last* at Portsmouth* and salted at ulna otelock* The 
St* Vincent took the lead* and by eleven o'clock the squadron was outside the 
Nab light vessel, and making an apparently straight course down the Channel, 
The wind changed about noon, Almost direct Into port, and It was expected the 
squadron would make a run for It If it seemed likely to con tin no ; this change 
kept the squadron to rtew of Forteroouth until nearly sunset* when the wind 
again returned to the B E,* which enabled the fleet to stretch away down 
Channel favourably. It is said there will be no more ships commissioned this 
year; but at the cumirtenre men t of the next, the Arrogant, PE guns, auxiliary 
steam-frigate* will be commissioned by Captain Flliroy* and tho Centaur , steam- 
frigate, by Captain Buckle, both at Portsmouth. At the present moment* tho 
Superb, 80-guii ship, at Portsmouth, Is the only ship fitting out at any of the 
home ports* 

PfuaaosE Dockyard.— Tho Board of Ordnance have decided upon tho erec¬ 
tion of two marl o 11 o towers* for the bettor defence of this Important naval sta¬ 
tion. This has been undertaken at the Instance of the Committee on Fortifica¬ 
tions; and Mr. Rigby* the contractor* has commenced hi? preparations for the 
construction of these defences. The*e towers U should be explained* are cir¬ 
cular buildings* consisting cf two stories* tho upper one, which is shell-proof, 
being appropriated for the reception 01 the troops, and the lower one for the 
stores. A parapet protects the nttn while working the guna, which are placed 
On traversing carriage*, so as to command all the approaches. Positive order* 
have been received nt this ynrd respecting the discontinuance of firewood* 
hitherto allowed to the resident officers. This haa been done on the recommen¬ 
dation of tho Finance Committee, None whatever is to be supplied for the 
future; and for any furniture or fixtures that may bo required In the officers" 
dwellings, a percentage must be paid to Government—It to believed that some 
of the buddings hitherto occupied for the packet service at HobbV Point will, for 
the fomra* be appropriated to the me of the Coast Guard; and that the prevent 
lve station at Pembroke will then be removed to Angle.

MAELBOROUGH-STKEET* 

ALLEOZP PLtiFtoWB or THE To I LEW IRS AND THE CHATEAU DE KeOIXLY.— 
on Saturday last, E. Saulmrr and Marie DtiraUU were ro-examined, for having 
unlawful possession of property* value d&ao.CKW, belonging to King Louia Philippe 
and the members of hU fondly* assumed to have been abstracted from the Royal 
Palaces of the Tullerica and the Chateau de Neitilly at tho commencement of the 
recent revolution to France. The former examination was reported In our 
paper of last week.—Hr* Bodkin, on bdiafr of the ox-Ktng of tho French, stated 
that the articles of jewellery to the possession or the accused had been shown to 
a member of the Royal suite. General ite Cha bit tines, who* on examining the 
property, had Stated that he confidently believed the articles to bo tho property 
or ibe Royal Family; but M. Ilhpet, an eminent jeweller of Tarts* who* in the 
capudty of Jeweller, was acquainted with the jewels of the Royal Family* had* 
after examining the article*, stated, that although there Wh a clone resemblance 
bit ween those prod need and articles of tilts saute kind belonging to the Royal 
Family, yet they were not jewellery belonging to the Royal Family, though tire 
articles had evidently been make in Imitation of tbs Royal jewels, nml bore so 
close h resetnbianco to them that they might be properly described uxfac*rimila t 
and nobody but a Jeweller could distinguish them from similar article* belonging 
to the Royal Family. Considering that these articles present all the appearance 
of .similar articles belonging to tins Royal Family, it was a strange coin¬ 
cidence that they were found In the possession of parties who had also possession 
of a picture about which there was no question of ownership, But mt In M. ifapri's 
opinion the property only resembled the Royal jewel*, and reference having 
litteu made to the Royal Family cm too subject, it was at once decided that all 
claim on foe part of the Royal Family should be withdrawn. In adopting that 
course, he (Mr, Rod k to) was acting to pursuance of tost ruction a from hla Royal 
client* ; It being proper I hat individuals to their distinguished amt Ion of life 
diotild at once withdraw their claim of qwncnhjp where a xhadow of doubt 
■row. With respect to the other articles* the some forhear&rtce to not claiming 
Use property as belonging to the Rojal Family would be exercised, nnd Rib 
same course taken, as in the case of the more valuable articles.—Mr. Hardwlcko: 
I>o I untleretaud that IbJi withdrawal Applies to foe picture ?—Mr. Bodkin : I 
tttiidraw ell claim to the property under till* act, and I withdraw all upp&ul to 
your JurlwlLclion; for if you were to order the picture to he restored, it would 
Hot confer a title to the property, and U would only be inlba nature of a guarantee 
% its detention. The act does not bar our civil claim; and as the claim to ths 
Articles of greater value is withdrawn under existing circumstances, sol oak to 
Withdraw all claim t»the smaller articles.—Mr. Womner said, as the profoulomd 
id viwr of the Baron d a BassaaTiem* who w os not present, ho should fed that he neg*

STORM AND LOSS OF LIFE* 

A stortfi on Friday week did much damage Ip many parts of Scotland. At 
Glasgow, It blew a galo which continued for several hours with llitle Inform Is* 
lion* causing considerable devastation to hootso and other property, ttio para¬ 
pet wall of tho bridge which creases the Glasgow Harbour and General Temil- 
ims Railway* on the Paisley-road, near foe city, was blown over upon the road, 
by whleh two men were killed on foe spot* and another so severely Injured that 
he died shortly afterword:?. The wall Itealf was only some three or four feet 
high; hut on it was raised a fence of iron plates to screen tho engines from 
horses passing along the bridge* to prevent their shying. This presented a 
large surface to foe wind, which blew down the railway line, and caused tba 
whole to tumble with a crash. Hie falling of chlmnoy-tUes, Ac, from tho roofs, 
Inflicted severe wounds on several passengers along foe streets. A great many 
of the street lamps were broken by the wind and the falling fragments coming 
upon them; and the streets Were strewn with broken chimney cans* tho lids of 
the lamps, mid oven largo iron smoke-jacks* rolling about in all directions. In 
several streets, etpectolly in the outskirts of tho city, wooden and brick parti* 
Hons were thrown dawn, and watchmen had to be placed at tho respective 
places to keep passengers from falling over tho ntbbUh* About uudnlgfR the 
wind somewhat abated. 

At Edinburgh the force of the wind dislodged many chimney-pots and slates 
In various parts of tho town, which foil on the streets, to the imminent danger 
ol the passengers, some of whom wore hurt Upon the line of the Edinburgh 
and Glitsgow Railway, a largo portion of the poles and wiree of the Electric Te¬ 
legraph Com pony were blown down at the viaduct over the Almond, which oc¬ 
casioned the Interruption of foe communication by telegraph to Glasgow. 

At Aberdeen foe hurricane, was particularly violent, and loss of life and consi¬ 
derable damage to property was t he result. At the new Gas Work, shortly after 
ton o’clock, the roof of the retort-house, which was constructed with an Iron 
frame, and covered with slate, was suddenly Jerked up at foe south aide, fell 
with a crash* and was smashed. Into fragment*. There were eight men In tho re¬ 
tort-house at the time* all stokers, engaged in charging the frimaces. One of tho 
roof beams and a quantity of the roofing Fall upon am old man named G. Hurray* 
who was at the moment hurling a harrow, and killed him on the spot, Another* 
C. Clark* hod his leg broken ; and a third, A. Low, had his arm dislocated and 
his head cut* The other five men escaped uninjured. The cause of their escape 
was, that a portion of the broken roof remained leaning against the south wall, 
near to which the five men were standing, in lew than fifteen minutes Clark 
and Low, and tho dead body of Murray, were extricated from foe mins. This 
was a work of extreme difficulty, as the wreck of the roof continued to be 
driven about by tho wind with great violence, A largo quantity of strong now 
paling, lately erected at foe Chemistry Work a Links, was tom down and carried 
away n distance of twenty or thirty yards into a field, by the foreB of foe wind; 
and several houses wera Injured. 

Along the Irish coast there was much damage done. The Grotcler, Atlrldge* 
from New York to Waterford, with Indian com. w« totally lost In Whiting Bay*

Bank or MaNCHWTtE..—On Monday n meeting of foe proprietors In the late 
Bank of Manchester wits held at the Albion Hotel in that city, to receive the re¬ 
port of a committee appointed at a late meeting to consider the propriety of re¬ 
turning a dividend to the nharehohlera on their giving an indemnity out of the 
surplus assets, alter payment of ,all liabilities* of ds. per share* and to empower 
the directors to purchase ihareu held by trustee* who are not shareholders, A 
report from four of foe five member* on the committee recommending these 
measures, und also that the consideration of tho question of the reaumptlon of 
biminc&i by the bank he postponed until the next annual meeting*misdtir a strong 
pereuualon that more favourable drcumatanc^i might then exist for a prudent 
determination upon it* was then agreed to, Mr. Stef I (or the firm of Crafts and 
Stoll, the American house)* a member of the Committee* having dissented from 
foe report agreed to by the other members, his opinion was read. In which he 
declared that with foe countenance and confidence ni a majority of the share¬ 
holders, a larger percentage could be realised In carrying on the business with¬ 
out making a call, than if tho capital was five times larger; but a return of eight 
shillings pur share* or any part or the funds* would ho utterly destructive of its 
prospect* and success* und of all chance of ever beginning buriRre&g again ; and 
he therefore recommended that the opinion of each aharehulder* aa to the pro¬ 
priety of resuming business, of dissolving the bank, or making a return should be 
ascertained after they had had an opportunity of considering foe reports, and the 
discussion con'iequent thereon, and that another special general meeting should 
be called aa soon $& tho answers had been received. A motion made by Mr. Stoll 
that a copy of the two reporta bo printed and sent to each proprietor, together 
wlfo tv copy of the Indemnity they would bo required to sign before receiving a 
return of H. per share* was likewise agreed to. together wRh a further motion, 
empowering the directors to return 8s. pur share to such proprietor* as should 
agree to sign the indemnity* A motion was then put* empowering foe directors 
to give LSa. per share for all shores held by trustees, executors, and others, who 
are not proprietor. The chairman explained that the number of such shares 
was 700G out of &O,OO0, and that foe payment of fob money* which was to relieve 
trustees from responsibility ss soon aa possible In a concern where they had no 
power to vote or act In any way, would not retard foe payment of the other U. 
Agreed to. The question of the resumption of bus Incas by foe bank liras stands 
adjourned; but It came out. In the conn* of discussion* that two of the principal 
directors* Mr. Chappell end Mr. Potter (Mayor Of Manchester), were indhspooed 
to bold shares In the bank If resuscitated.

The flms fport of Combing may bo truly distinguished ta “ old English/' It U 


fiir morn ancient than liorao-racing* and we may solely say Jn no country la the 
sport carried to such perfection as In England at the present day. The English 
greyhound, tits dog tused la the apnrt, is a perfect model of graceful action, of 
speed in running, and la altogether by far the finest of any breed of dogs, 
ancient or modem. The Engravings with thin article represent what Is called 
Match Cwrsing, on Epsom Downs, No. I, is a Party on the Downs. No. 3, tho 
Hare Finders; and the Slipper, who looses the Hare from the slip, when tho 
Judge gives the word H Q&" No, 3, tho Hare and Dogs at Ml speed. Mr* 
Blaine, in his 1 EncyciopsedlA of Rural Sports/' says—“Match Coursing, it must 


he confessed by all, offers a vivid picture* Its practice throughout Is social and 
animating in the extreme; and, Hits excitements are more transitory than those 
ef the fox chase, they are certainly greater while they last, and, moreover, are 
usually repeated several times in the &axna day." 

Match Coaming may he seen at many localities in the neighbourhood of London ■ 
Hampton Court Park and Epsom Downs are both splendid places for the 
sport* Should any of our readers not have witnessed this Interesting sight, 
wo think they cannot do better during the Christmas holidays tinn take a trip to 
either of fhoae places when the l£ hounds are out,” Zfnrtuttdttd, or private 



C&NFMi up, however, wa think pOHoaaas greater attraction, and more sport; With respect to the best sort of greyhound coursera ahould breed, there is a the South small-bred greyhounda beaten by two Lancashire dogs not two years 
since it Is not attended with difficulties of awards, sometimea very displeasing to contrariety or opinions, as may be seen from the variety of size of the dog at old* Wo Intend to resume our lUnstratlous of Coursing, with a view of Hampton 
Individuals, nor with the mortification of seeing a favourite dog beaten In public* Coursing matches. At Hampton Court, on Monday last, we saw, however, all Park* in a week or two*

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS. 


LONDON, 8ATURDAF, DECEMBER 23, 19IS* 

The Revolution in the Pontifical States b proceeding with more 
quietude than might have been anticipated from so excitable a race 
as the modem Romans* The only act of violence that haa oc¬ 
curred eince the assassination of Count: Hoasi haa been perpetrated 
upon the coachman of the Bavarian Ambassador* This individual 
having imprudently boasted in a wine-shop of the share be had had 
in the escape of the Pope, was immediately poignarded* The blow, 
however, docs not appear to have been mortal. 

The refusal of the King of Naples to allow the deputation of tho 
Roman Chamber to enter the Neapolitan territory to seek an inter¬ 
view with the Pope created a bad feeling at Rome both against 
the Pope and the King of Naples* The deputation, though not 
allowed to communicate personally with the Pope, was permitted 
to address fils Holiness by letter* It received a reply signed by the 
Pope's secretary, referring to the rescript of she 27th nil., by which 
the Pope nominated a Commission of Government, and displaced 
the Mamiani Ministry, as the only basis of any future understand¬ 
ing between the Pope and bis subjects. When it is recollected 
that the members of this Commission had unanimously re¬ 
fused to act, it is difficult to account for such a reply* On 
the return of the deputation to Rome, the announcement 
seems to havo excited both pity aud anger* Its first result was to 
produce a junction between the two Chambers* An extraordinary 
conference having been colled, the Prince de Canino, sou of Lueien 
Bonaparte, proposed a direct rupture with the Sovereign, and the 
establishment of a Regency aud a Provisional Governraeut. The 
joint Assembly, however, was disposed to take matters more coolly; 
and ihe fiery Prince, who dreams of a Roman Republic, with a 
Bonaparte for its President, found none to second his motion. 
The Minister Galetti gave the Pope another chance of reconciliation 
with his subjects? and, as a step towards an amicable adjustment 
of existing differences, proposed that a Regency should be nomi¬ 
nated to act during the Pope # s absence, and that Cardinal Gsstra- 
caui, named by his Holiness in his rescript of the 27th aa the chief 
of the Commission, should be named as the chief of the Regency* 
This point was long debated : the Ministry had much difficulty in 
persuading the exasperated members of the deputation to agree 
to any terms short of a rupthre ; but ultimately the resolution 
wus agreed to. Cardinal CJostracani* who belongs to one of the 
oldest, most illustrious, and most respected families of Italy* 
expressed his williugne-ss to act, and despatched, in his own name, 
another deputation to the Pope at Gacta. 


Tins proceedings of the Germanic Diet at Frankfort have lately 
excited but little attention. The events of Berlin and Vienna have 
been far more important* both upon the fortunes of Prussia and 
Austria individually, and upon those of Germany collectively* 
But now that the abdication of the Emperor Ferdinand, and the 
accession of a young, able, aud popular Sovereign bos removed one 
peat difficulty In Austria, and that the success of the King of 
Prussia in the struggle in which he was involved with the Consti¬ 
tuent Assembly has removed another difficulty still greater in the 
internal affairs of Prussia, the doings of the Frankfort Parliament 
have once more started Into prominence* The question of German 
Unity, which it was called together to deliberate upon, again be¬ 
comes a question exciting to the ambition of the King of Prussia. 
Between his partisans and those of the Emperor of Austria the 
leadership of Germany is being contested- It docs not appear, 
^however, that the Emperor of Austria himself has any ambition to 
compete for the questionable honour ; on the contrary, it would 
seem that he desires to confine himself to his own dominions* He 
has refused to acknowledge the new German law relating to bills of 
exchange ; to contribute towards the expense of building a German 
fieet—one of the most cherished objects of the German patriots 
who shout about ihe unity of Father!and ; and he has, moreover, 
recalled the Austrian Commissioner at the Customs Congress in 
Frankfort* During the sitting of the Assembly, on the 15th inst*, it 
was announced that Herr Von. Schmerling and Herr Von Wurth, 
the only Austrian members of the Cabinet of the Vicar- 
General of the Empire, bad resigned. All these circumstances 
strengthen the belief that tho new Emperor of Austria is more 
anxious to disconnect his Empire Rom Germany than to embarrass 
himself with the leadership of “Fatherland/' To unite and con« 
solidatc the Empire of Austria, including its German, Sclavonic, 
Magyar, and Italian dominions, is a task more worthy of the am¬ 
bition and the energy of an Austrian Emperor than any success 
that could attend him in his efforts to be proclaimed nominal head 
of the Germans, The King of Prussia on his part is evidently pre¬ 
paring for such a result; and his partisans in Frankfort and other 
parts of Germany begin to discover, for the first time, that there 
may be a united Germany independently of Austria* Were all 
claim to German leadership renounced by the House of Hapsburg, 
the House of Brandenburg would have no competitor, and the King 
of Prussia would see bis priize a little nearer to his grasp. It does 
not follow, however, that the secession of Austria from the Frank¬ 
fort Assembly is caused by the reasons above specified. It may 
be that the new 1 mperorbeiievcitheidea of German unity to be one 
of impossible as well as undesirable fulfilment; and that he wUI 
give no further countenance to it, except upon the old principle 
of a Germanic Confederation* In this case the chances of the 
King of Prussia would not be greatly, if at all improved by the 
present proceedings of the Austrian Government* 

A new Imperial Ministry has been appointed at Frankfort, under 
the Presidency of tho Baron Von Gagera, perhaps the most eminent 
of the men whom tho Gorman Revolutions have called into public 
life* He has hitherto been supposed favourable to the pretensions 
of the King of Prussia* Tho statement which be made to the 
Assembly on resigning the Presidency of that body for the higher 
post of Minister of tne Vi car-General, threw no light upon the 
Austrian difficulty that has arisen* Previous to hearing that state¬ 
ment, the Assembly passed a resolution to the effect that the Central 
Executive be authorised to dissolve the commercial and navigation 
treaties existing between single German States and Foreign Powers, to 
change those treaties. If necessary* into Imperial treaties, and to 
conch de new ones, subject to the approval of tha National 
Assembly. The Central Executive was also urged to draw up, as 
soon as possible, the draff of a law for a general tariff and system of 
customs for Germany* 

The Overland Mail from India brings no decisive intelligence from 
the seat of hostilities in the Punjaub. General Whish remained in 
his old quarters before Moultan, as reported by the last mail ; and 
Moolr&j remaiued in his fortress, awaiting events. It turns out 
that the Rajah Shere Singh, whose defection from the British on the 
14th of September was announced by the next succeed ing mail, 
aud whose departure from Moultan on the 3th of October is already 
known, has not yet established communications with his father* 
Cbuttur Singh* The latter is reported to be near Attock. Tho 
rumour, that their object was to make a combined attack upon La¬ 
hore, still found credence* The British resident in the capital was 
fully prepared for such a contingency* It seems that one of the 
two chieftains is hovering about the neighbourhood of the capital, 
and that a pontoon bridge established over the Havoc, at a few 
miles from Lahore, has been twice attacked by the advanced 
picqneta of the Sikh army* The British forces in the territory of 
Dhuleep Singh amount to 2&,GGD men; and when the reinforce¬ 
ments now on their march shall arrive, they will amount to at least 
36,000 beyond the line of the Sutlej and the Eeaa* with about 
30*000 auxiliaries ; a force of which the half would be more than 
sufficient to cope with all the strength that the rebellious Sikhs 
could muster against it* 


IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, 

HOUSE OF LORDS* —Tuesday* 

Furthes FaoaociTiojr of Pjxliaueot.—^T his being the d*j to which Pir- 
Usmaat aloud prorogued* their Lordships met, shortly after two o'clock, for the 
purpose of further proroguing ParILimont nodi Thnnsday, the 1st of February 
next* then to meet i nr the despatch of business* 

The Lord Chancellor, Lord Langd&le, and Lord Campbell, having taken their 
Beats so the Lords CemioiMioners, Mr, Fulmaii* the Deputy-Usher of the Block 
Hod, summoned the Commons to the bar, to hear the commission for proroguing 
Parliament road i abortly after which, Mr. If. Ley, accompanied by several Of¬ 
ficers of the House of Commons, and only One member (the Hon. Mr. Camp¬ 
bell > t appeared at the bar. 

The Chtef Clerk at the table having read the commission* 

The Lord Chancellor, In her Majesty's name, and by her Majesty's command, 
declared the Parliament prorogued to Thursday* die 1st day of February* to be 
then hidden ; and It was prorogued accordingly. 

Tab Lauv HEWLtY Ckabitt.—T he Preahyterians have again renewed the 
litigation in this cuae, and their appeal is fixed to be heard on the 2nd of January 
next On the 23rd of June. 184»* thesolkitora for tho Presbyterians had a Joint 
consultation with their counsel, Mr, SwanatOB^Q.C., Mr* James Parker, Q C., Mr, 
Lloyd, Mr* Matins, and Mr. Horton, of whose Opinion the following Is a ropy * 
viz. 11 We are Of opinion that the decree or the Vice-Chancellor in this cause Is 
erroneous, and that IE would be reversed or materially altered On appeal." The 
Edinburgh Advertiser, which la tha recognised organ of tho Scotch Kirk* seems 
to hare misgivings about tho Uauc of this proceeding, and soys that, if* as is 
Auppcfled, tho appeal be unsuccessful and the Presbyterians are ordered to pay 
the I ndcpendeu to their costs, these may amount* In all probability* to about £*UXl. 
But, in addition to these* the Presbyterians would have to pay their own costs, 
which would be £ti00 more. Tito Lonl-Chanceltor, if he should racerse 
the decision of the Vice-Clmncollor, would most likely order eosta of both side* 
to be ptud out of the large funds Ln court; and, If ho confirmed his decision, 
he might still do tho same, er order the costa of the Independents to be paid by 
the PresbytcrUoe. To provide for tha worst* the Prenbyteriaun are engaged in 
subscribing a guarantee fund.

DRURT-LANE- 

On Monday evening H. Jullien’s grand Bal M&squd took place, and was, 
beyond all comparison* the most splendid affair of the kind ever witnessed la 
London: Indeed we question If any of fee best Carnival bnlfa at the Opera In Paris 
ever excelled it. Those who remember the scenes of low riot (and we had well 
nigh added* brutality)* which chamctcri*cd the ^masqueiadea” oi oven ten years 
bock, cannot have failed to observe the gradual Improvement which has taken, 
place in this style of amimment* under M. JullJen’s direction ; and more espe¬ 
cially since; dancing hon become such a general recreation in England. On 
Monday tho audience portion of the theatre was crowded with moat respectable 
peraans; the proscenium boxes were occupied by the officers nf the Guard* and 
their friends; all tho private boxes had been engaged by member* of the 
most fashionable London circles; and In the gatlcrlea nothing could be 
seen but tiers of heads rising one above the uthcr. until the last row 
touched tho cell Eng. Thu orchestra was, as usual, at the extreme buck of 
the stflgu ; and tha vast mile was lighted in the meat beautiful manner we over 
witnessed, under the able auperimemhuice of Mr. Frederick Gyo- The wreaths 
of flowers from the chan del Sera were upheld 111 foatoone by brilliant butterflies* 
which appeared to bo actually floating in tho air ; and over tho proscenium waa 
an cuormoiitt plate of what appeared to be spangled glass. If we may tarm it #o* 
twenty or thirty test long, on which was the 1 each pt leu •* Vitit ladtiw? 1 ” In 
atnall Jots of gas. This was certainly n most exquisite piece of lllumtnalien, 
Tho usual lights of the Concerts appeared to be tripled* and altogether fee coup 
tTosii wsja one of singular brilliancy. 

At half-past twelve fee area of fee hall was crowded almost to inconvenience. 
Of the dancers* a largo proportion were in fancy costume, and feomo of these wore 
exceedingly LOAtehil* speaking well for Mr. Nathan’s wardrobes, from which a 
largo quantity had been chosen. Many of tha dresses Mere really very good in¬ 
deed- Our old friend the General of tho Republic was there In fall force, 
launching his good-tempered sallies at the occupant* of the box -s. There were 
soma capital fed tans and Ciiinosein an then lie costumes; several ** Presidents, 1 ’ 
full of fa&j NapvldmiefmtB; a swarm of ImllLum tlebardrtirs, postil ions* and varia¬ 
tions i feither costuitio; Wife mono Louis Qiudorres, Charles the Soeonds* Don 
Cfesor de Dfutans, and other matter,of-CDurae fancy drmca* than wa cfmeeived 
were In London. A matter worthy of remark Is* that everybody not In costume 
was iu rocognlMd evening dross; a great atop in advance of the tribe of pale- 
toted gents who once thronged tho promenade, in a word, all fee arraitgemenfa 
were perfect; ontl tha peal of apphmsa that rewarded Krentg'a cornet solo in 
the Ecllpae Polka proved tho company wore far from being Inattentive to tho 
music- The dancing was kept up with unabated spirit and good-humour until 
live In tha morning, in fee order of polka, waltz, and quadrille* broken only 
by" tho monster gaioppo” just before supper; and we are certain feat the 
beauty and propriety of the scano generally will long bo recollected by those 
who witnessed It* 


ADELPHI. 

Long before this sheet come* into the hands of our readers, thousand.* of them 
will, wife out doubt* have read Mr. Dickens’s new Christmas story of M The 
Haunted Man; or, fee GliosUsBargain,” ft will not be* Therefore, necessary to de¬ 
scribe the slory In announcing Its re-prod net ton in a dramatic form at the 
Adolphl Theatre on Wednesday evening, only one day after fee pubfaatinn of tho 
book, the usual arrangements having been entered into between author and 
manager for Impressions of fee oarly proofs a month ago. 

Possibly no piece wos ever placed upon the stage with greater cam at the 
AdelpM—certainly none has been better acted at that theatre. The scenes 
and situations of the book lutvo been represented with singular and pain staking 
fidelity; and the characters were penumated In ft manner that dtres the greatest 
credit to ah fee ladies and gentlemen engaged In their representation. The 
tnral* unaffected put ho* of Miss Woelgar in J/iY/y, and fee homely telling point 
of Mrs. Frank Matthews as Mrs, TeUerby. were really refreshing on fee score Of 
their truthfulness; whi 1st Miss Etlen Chaplut's Boy was an admirable piece of 
fond We—almost painful—acting; and yet possibly these clever actresses never 
exrEtcd* on tlm whole, loss sympathy. Nor did the gonttaracn accom¬ 
plish more. No two better representatives of Rwthtw or the chose could be 
found on our board* than Mr. EL Hughes and Mr. 0. Smith; and everybody know* 
how Inimltahle Mr, Wright is. A special pa rugrapU shnnld be given to Mr, Mun- 
yard, who pfaycd William Bmdffer. Thin gen t! emun* al ways clever an 1 effective, 
la destined co become a very popular actor at no distant period. But still* with 
all this talent, the play “lagged" fearfalty, from tho utterly tfedratnatlcuntune 
of tho hook. Wo do not mean to wiy feat all has not been done for it that coald 
bo* by the dramatist* bnt tlio audience appeared to take vary little Interest In the 
fortunes of fee personages. Some portions of It were absolutely dangerous; wo 
may mention the scone in which a sudden change takes place in Old &ic«lyrr't 
(Mr. Lambert) character* owing to fee Influence of tho spell. There was aIjus 
more tendency to moralising fettn appeared agreeable to a mixed auilfanco, 

■ At fee fall of fee curtain tho applause was very load, but fee™ was aDo rente

evoatualiv* tho 11 ayes " were victorious. The piece will, from fee very finished 
manner in wldch U has been put upon the stage* havo u good run through tho 
holidays. We advistj every one going lo see It* however, to read the book first j 
without having done so, much of it wilt be incemprelieiisiblo, 

HAYMARKET* 

** Your Lifa's in Danger 1” !■ the name of an exceedingly good farce* by Mr* 
Madison Morton* produced wife great success at this house* on Wfidncwlay even¬ 
ing. The incidents are by no means of a novel character, but they are so well 
worked up. and Mr. Kceley* as an English footiuaa (John Strong) in a German

THE MENDELSSOHN SCHOLAR¬ 
SHIPS,—MDLLK . JENNY LIND. 
The assemblage of vocal and kistm- 
mental talent at the performance of 
Mendelsohn's " Elijah/' at Exeter Hull, 
briefly referred to in our lust week's 
publication, ™ greater than at any 
previous Interpretation of that snblime 
oratorio. The hall was brilliantly and 
fashionably ntt nded i including the 
presence of the Duke and Duchess of 
Cambridge, Princess Mary of Cam¬ 
bridge, too Prince and Princess of Ho- 
henlohc, the Hanoverian and Prussian 
Ministers, the Archbishop of Canter¬ 
bury, the Bishops of London and Nor¬ 
wich, Sec, 

The band comprised upwards of (mo 
hundred ft fat-rate players, with Sainton 
imd Tolbecque u principal violins. The 
chorus consisted of two hundred mem¬ 
bers of the Sacred Harmonic Society t 
two hundred professional choristers, iu- 
cludftig the boys from the Chapel Royal, 
St. Paul's. &c.» one hundred and fifty 
from HuIIah's Singing Classes and 
thirty pupils from too Royal Academy 
of Muidc. in the aggregate, there were 
not far short of seven hand red execut¬ 
ants ; Benedict, as the Intimate friend Of 
Mendelssohn, being the Conductor. 

At the head of the leading vocalists 
was Mdlle* Lind, who* with that alacrity 
slie always displays to aid in a benevo¬ 
lent purpose, had offered her gratuitous 
services. Miss A. Williams, Miss M. Wil¬ 
liams, Mrs, Noble (Tate Mlsa Duval), Mr. 
Lackey, Mr. J. A. NoveUo. Mr, Benson, 
and Mr. Machin were the other prin¬ 
cipal singers. 

The absorbing attraction was Mdlle. 
Jenny Lind’s first appearance to sing in 
a sacred work, and in the English lan¬ 
guage. Her accent Is excellent, and no¬ 
thing could bo more distinct than her 
enunciation. She sang nine times, be¬ 
ginning, in the first pan, with the double 
quartet ** For he shah gfve bU angels /" 
cstn in the recitative and duet *'Give 
me thy son and thirdly In the quartet 
" Cast thy burden." In the second purl, 
she opened with tire air in II miner

11 Lift thine eyes \ " next In the recita¬ 
tive “ Night fiilleth i " again In the 
quartet * Holy, holy; M and, finally, In 
the recitative " Behold I God hath sent f 
and In the quartet 'OhI come 


MDLLE. JENNY LDJD, AT KXETBJt It ALL, 


It reflects the greatest credit on the 
musical Judgment and taste of Mdlle. 

Lind that she in no one Instance de¬ 
parted from the text of the composer s a* 

Mendelssohn has noted down, his inspira¬ 
tions, eo did Millie. Lind conscientiously 
and jealously interpret them, without 
the slightest Introduction of n cadence 
or grace to secure any artificial effect 
Her meritorious reeding of the aopmua 
part entitled her to the wanuost acknow¬ 
ledgment] of the musician and amateur, 

but there were delicious gem* In the vocalisation, particularly In the concerted 
pieces. In the quartet “Holy, holy,** she led off on the high notes with 
astonishing steadiness, and held on them throughout with a sustaining power 
that quite else trifled the auditory, and secured for tha piece an unanimous en¬ 
core* which was also bestowed on the trie, “ Lift thine eyes.” 


irrstc holder, 


Next to Mdlle* Lind, the singing of Miss Martha Williams was the point of in¬ 
terest. The lovely coutralto voice of this songstress was never more finely de¬ 
veloped, and she was called upon to repast the air ‘Oh I rest in the Lord," with 
acclamations- Miss A. Williams sang her share Of the music most creditably.

Tan Tnrraii Family.—A small man «at in a small parlour, partitioned off 
from h small shop by a small screen, pasted nil over with smalt scraps of news* 
papers. Sn company with the small man was almost any amount of small 
cljiidren you may pleuro to name—at least it seemed ro; they mode* In that very 
Limited sphere of action* such an imposing effect, in point of number*. Of tiresa 
atmill fry, two had, by some strong machinery, been got into bed In & coi ner* 
where they might hivo repoaed snugly enough in tho sleep of Innocence* but for 
a constitutional propOfiriiy to keep awoke, and also to scuffle in and out oi bed. 
The immediate occasion of these predatory dashes at the waking world* was the 
construction of an oyster-shell -wall In e corner* by two other youths of tender 
age ; on which fortification the two In bed mode harassing descents (like those 
accursed Piets and Scute who beleaguer the early historical stud tea of moat young 
Britons), and then withdrew to their own territory, In adtotion to the stir at¬ 
tendant on these Inroads, and the retorts of the Invaded, who pursued hotly, and 
rendu lunges ut the bed-clothes under which the marauders took refuge, another 
little buy* in another little bed, contributed ills mite of confusion to the family 
(took, by casting his bouts upon the water* ; in other words* by launching these 
and several small objects* inorfetitive in themselves* though of a hard substance 
tons I lIi* red as missiles* at the dtotmberii of his repose— who were not slow to re¬ 
turn these compliments, Besides which* another little boy—the biggest 
there* but still little—was tottering to and fro, bent on one side, and considerably 
affacied In bis knees by the weight of a largo baby* which ho was supposed* by 
■ Action that obtains .‘■ntneiimes In sanguine families to 1» hushing to 
sleep. But oh t tho Inexhaustible regions of contemplation and Watchfulness 
into which this baby’s eyes were then only beginning to compose themselves to 
stare over lib unconscious shoulder 1 It was a. vury Moloch of a baby* on whote 
Insatiate altar the whole existence of this particular young brother was offered 
np u daily sacrifice, It* pursonullEy may bo said to have consisted In Its never 
■being quiet, la any one place, for five consecutive minutes, and never going to 
steep when required. “ Tetterby’s baby’' was os well known In the neighbour* 
hood m the postman or tlu) pot-boy. It roved from door-atop to door-step, in 
the am* of little Johnny Totterby, and lagged heavily at the rear of troops of Ja« 
venilu who followed too tumblers or the monkey, sad came up, all on ou e side* & 
little tiro late for every thing that was attractive, from Monday morning until Sa¬ 
turday night. WTierevordiildh oofl congrega'fld to play, there was little Moloch mak¬ 
ing Johnny fag and mil. Wherever Johnny desired to nay, little Moloch became 
fractious, and would not remain. Whenever Johnny Wanted to go out, Moloch 
yu asleep, and mm be witched. Whenever Johnny wanted to Itay at home* 
Moloch vu awoke, and must he taken out Yet Johnny was verily persuaded 
that it was a faultless baby, without Its peer In the realm of England, and was 
quite content to catch meek glimpses of things In general from behind its 
Bklrte* or over Its lltup Dipping bonnet, and to go staggering about with It like a 
very little porter with a very large parcel, which woe not directed to anybody* and 
could never be delivered an y wh ere. The small man who sat in the smal 1 parlour, 
making fruitless attempts to rend ids newspaper peaceably In the midst of this 
disturbance, was the lather of the family* and tbo chief of the Arm described In 
thaInscription over tho little shop front, by the Home ond title of A. Tettorby and 
Co., Newsmen, Indeed, strictly speaking, he was the only iierroungt: answering to 
that designation, as Co , was a mere poetical abstraction, altogether baseless and im¬ 
personal Tetterby’fl was the corner shop In Jerusalem-buildings. There was a good 
allow of literature In the window, chiefly constating of plctu re-no wspniwra out of 
date, and serial pirates, and footpads, Walking-sticks* likewise, and marble*, were 
included In Xtie stock In trade. It had onco extended into the light confectionory 
tine ; but It would seem that those elegancies of Ufa were not In demand about 
Jerusalem Buildings, for nothing connected with tliat branch of commerce re¬ 
mained In the window, except a sari Of small glass lantern* containing a lan* 
entailing man of bulls’-ayes, which had melted in the Bummef, anil congested in 
the wlhTer, until all hope of ever getting them out* or of eating them without eiHajk 
the lantern too* won gone for ever. Tetterby’a had tried Its hand at several 
things. It luid Onto made a feeble little dart at the toy business for* th an¬ 
other lantern there was a heap of minute wax dolts, rtll si Kilting 
together* upside down, In the direst confusion* with their feet ou 
one another’s heads, and a precipitate of broken arms atid legs at 
ths bottom. It had mmlu a move hi tlifl mlllliiery dlrcetl&it, which a few dry 
wiry bomiet-ahapes romaiued la a corner of the window to attest,— 
It had fajicied that a living might He hidden In the tobacco trade, and hud *tuck 
up a representation Of a native of each of the three Integral portions of the Brt* 
risk empire, In the act of consuming that fragrant weed j with o poetic legend 
attached. Importing that united In one cauati they s,t and Joked* one chewed 
tobitcm one took snuff, one smoked: but notldeg seejned to hove com$ of it— 
except flies. Time lutd been when it had put a forlorn trust in Imitative jewel- 
leiy* far in one pane of gloss there wit* a card of cheap seals, and another of 
pencil cooes, and a mysterious black mntileE of tenet iliable intention I*tidied 
nine pc nee- But, to tliothour* Jerusalem Buildings had bought none of them. 
In short, Tctterby’s hud tried bo hord to get a livelihood out t,f Jeruwtein Build¬ 
ings in one Way or other, and appeared la have done so indifferently In all* that 
the beat position in the firm wasted evidently Co/i; Co., us a bodHera creation*

CflAKTlST TRIALS.—SOUTH LANCASHIRE. 

The Humnn of the Police mah a.t Asbtow.—A t tbo Liverpool Asiirea, on 
Friday (fle unight), Joseph Raul\tft t Joseph Constantine, and Thomas Tastier , 
were Indicted before Baron Altteraon for the wilful munler of Joaeph Bright, u 
policeman, at Aabton-under-Lyne, on tho Hth of August hist, by having first 
stabbed him wltli a pike, and afterwards xhootlng Jiim through tho breast— 
flftteliffe With having committed the murder, and Constantino with aiding and 
resist lug* 

Upon the three prisoners being brought up for nmtigniiieiit, the Attorney-Ge¬ 
nera! intimated that ho would not proceed against Tosnlkor on the serious charge, 
and accordingly that prisoner loft the dock. 

The other two prison rt* pleaded *' Not goilty." 

The Attorney-General stated the cose. Some time prior to the 14th of Au- 
gnat arrangementa w ere made In the town of Ashtau-under-Lyne, which re¬ 
sulted in an organisation of u most fonnidablo clinracter, and on that day a sort 
of simultaneous rbllig Took place In the district adjoining. Between eleven and 
twelve o'clock on that night u large number nf men collected in Catiierine-streot* 
armetl with pikes, guns, pistols, and other weapons of offence, and proceeded 
from Catherine-iitinert flow n Bentinck-street, which runs across old-street, to 
Samford-street. At this point a police-officer, named Smith* was stationed near 
the corner of Moss-strcct* at whose head a pistol was presented by one of the 
party, which, however* fortunately missed fire. When they got to Brook-street* 
tome of Iho parties who were there said that Bright* the poJteetimn, was coming* 
upon which a fellow mimed Slgtey, who hud since absconded, went down tho 
& Erect* followed by Bright* who was afterwards dragged along lieut in ck-street* 
where he was heard to say that he knew the peroons of hla areal Ian bt. Upon 
this, otic fellow fllutoliffe) thrust a pike Into hi* thigh, and immediately after¬ 
ward* the poor man was shot, and died, Kuicliffc had previously presented & 
pistol at Bright's bead* and attempted to shoot Mm, but his platoMiad also 
mtesed Are. Slglcy had afterwarda absconded to America, and HatolEffe was 
taken on board th& ill-fated Ooean Monarch, llutclttfo, after being taken Into 
custody, admitted that he bad. struck Bright with the pike* but ho denied having 
shot him. 

Tho ease, aa time act forth, was supported by the tentimony of numerous wit¬ 
nesses far the Grown j and for the defence, evidence was odd treed showing that 
the pike wound wan not Inflicted by ifatc 1 Iffo. 

The Court declared there was no cane established against Constantine, and; tho 
charge ogamat him wa« accordingly withdrawn. 

t At the close of tlie triul on Saturday* the jury, after an hour’s deliberation, re¬ 
turned u verdict of ** Guilty” against Katrtlffo. but atrongly recommended him to 
mercy, as Bright, the policeman* did not fail by his hand. 

Mr. Baron Aldytton then prered sentence: of death upon tho unhspy man. 

His Lorduhip wjisi painfully Intorrupod while pronouncing the sentence* by tho 
sobbing and weeping of a female in tgjurt, said to be tbo prisoner's wife. Tha 
prisoner himself betrayed no emotion wliatevcr* and titter addressing a faw worda 
to hla soUdtet, was removed from the dock. 

CufiafULArv at Ajiitoh.—D iroirxaus or some, an» CoirvicTtoit or oTtigga* 
or THE Frisowxxs.—P ending tho dellvciry of thu verdict to the lost case* the 
eighteen Churtfotj charged with oonipltacy to cbatruct the laws by tnmultuoua 
assemblages, fcc , at Auhton-under-Lyno, most of whom hud been out <jii baii, 
were placed in tho dock* Tha Attorney-General stated that the Crown hud de¬ 
termined to proceed against only eight of toe prisoners for felony, under th* 
Into Government Security Act * the others* on entering Into the proper recog* 
nlsancea* might be discharged. Two or throe of tho prisoners were bound over 
In their own recognisances In £100, and two sureties in £SC1 each, to keep the 
peace for two yean, and to appear and plead to the charge whenever they might 
be culled upon; the others (in more indigent circumstances) were allowed to 
deport on the diminished aecurity of their own recognisance* la£M), and two 
sureties in £2b each* The parties, before tooir discharge, were cautioned to 
find tho necessary eurctles* and take them before a local magistrate within 
a week. 

On Monday, at tho sitting of tho Court, the Chartists reserved for trial by tho 
Attorney-General wore brought up, and pleaded “guilty" to the indtetmeata 
which had been preferred against them* HSs Lordship* in addressing them, said* 
that, Instead; of endeavouring to obtain universal sufi'rage, they ought to endea¬ 
vour to obtain universal temperance, sobriety„ uud virtue. They should begin 
at tho proper end, become good uud virtuous citizens, and political power would 
come to them. All tboro advantages must come from themselves. Ho then 
ACJilenced John Wlnterbuttom to twelve months’ Impriromnont i Edward Har- 
rop mid fellow* to six niontim’; Jeprou find Hunt* to four moiiths.’; Healey ant! 
James liarmp, to throe months’; and oil to find sureties to keep tho peace for 
one year from tbe expiration of their several imprisonments. Joseph Constantine,

titer were then placed at the bar* being indicted, under the new Act of the llth 
and 12to of Queen Victoria, for having, ut Ashton, in August last, conspired 
together to levy war against tire Queen, in order to force her to change her mea¬ 
sures. Another count charged tttem with compiling together to deprive her 
Mtjesty of her Royal Utta. The evidence, which was supplied by accomplices 
of the prisoners, wiu of tbe same nature ah that adduced on the trial of Rat- 
Cliffe. After the examination of several witnesses, the prisoners asked to be 
al towed to plead guilty; which having boon acceded to, the Court sentenced 
Coiistunttnci, Ken worthy, Btott* and Talker to be transported for life; Befton 
aud Walker to bo transported for ten yearn*

have pleaded guilty, so that he should not have been obliged to open a caso of 
the serious character of the one tinder consideration, for ho had, to disclose a ! 
conspiracy* the organisation of which was BO foraildabla that those who wore 
the objects of it (had ibey been aware of it) would have been struck with terror 
and alarm. One of the main objects of the conspiracy was to hire a number of 
vacant cellars in different parte of the town of Manchester, which were to he 
filled with gunpowder and other explosive materials? these were to be fired 
by desperate men, and their force was to bo used against all who 
opposed them. The learned gentleman then read the speeches made 
by the defendants at different meetings, and called several policemen as wit¬ 
nesses In support of the indictment. The Court rose at 6 o'clock.— 
Du Tuesday, the principal evidence uraaaddttoed, being that of James A. Ball, 
an informer. He h ad been brought from 1 all, trtjto K under committal on a charge 
of conspiracy. He said ho was a prlu tseiJcr at Manchester. Had been four 
times In goal for neglecting his farall j and advocating the People’* Charter. Ou 
the evening of tho 1st of April & committee mooting was held at his father’s 
house, to raise money for agitating for the People's Charter. On the following 
day another meeting was held. Witness spoke, taking for his subject a text 
from the New Testament ;— u Lot him that hath noawonl soli bis garment and 
buy one." Witness* then enumerated several other meetings which he and the 
prisoners had attended, at which the formation of dubs, the enrolment, drilling* 
and arming of National Guards, to co-operate with the Loudon Chartists* w are 
determined upon, and tho destruction of property, to create terror and confu- 
of on, planned. A, ah op w*a taken In Tlb-street which had been used for pick¬ 
ing oakum, and Chadwick proposed it should be fined. A man named Calm* 
suggested that ft bottle of naphtha should be thrown In amongst rhe oakum, and 
then seme one should cot fire to it, Chadwick lbenight that, before they did so, 
they should turn off tho water from tho water-works and the canal, and pemons 
were appointed to ascertain bow that could bo best effected. On the 11th. of 
April another meeting was held, at which Rankin took tire choir. Dr. 
M'Do wall, West, White, Grocott, and, In fact, all tho defendant* were pre¬ 
sent* with many others. They had ascertained tlift failure In London, 
and said it was foolish In them to attempt opposition to tho authorities 
by destroying property, Rankin said they wore not strong enough un¬ 
less they did bo. M'Donough proposed that there should ba empty col¬ 
lars taken in the neighbourhood of Hlgh-atreet—two at the corner of 
Turner-atreOt, and oyo under Mr. Stephemioii'B shoe-shop, In Markot-s>treet. 
Leaders were appointed for the purpose of carrying out these objects* These 
were M L L>unougli, Donovan, Leech, Cropper. Cliadwick, Sehcfteld, Nixon, and 
others* The leader* worn to place In each of tha cellars one parcel of gun¬ 
powder, containing one cwt.* one cask of naphtha, containing thirty-six gallons, 
and one cask of turpentine. Shavings, mixed with straw, were to bo placed next 
the casks, and Ehoae wera to bft sat adjoining tho door, well stooped Lu naphtha, 
for the purpose of being instantly ignited, and the places fired* It wu also 
agreed that an empty shop, formerly occupied by Dr, Bailey, phrenologist, 
shenId be taken adjoining the goa-worka la Lower King-street. It was to bo 
taken under the pro fence of carrying OU tha provision trade. After getting pos¬ 
session of the shop they were to bore under the ground w as to get to tho gas¬ 
works yards, to place five cwt. of gunpowder under tha boring, blow up the gas¬ 
works, and put tho town lu complete darkness. Several persons were appointed 
to superinte nd this* and JTDouO ugh wo* to act oh their leader* A rcsol ution was 
agreed to, ou the motion of Cropper, seconded by Downey, that persons should bo 
appointed to secrete the tussive in the churches, and to bo provided with imple¬ 
ments to break open tho doors. Other person* wera then to be ad milted* provided 
with naphtha, to fire tho churches* Leaders ware appointed for particular 
churches, a* follows i—St. George’s Church* Schofield ; St. rauT*, Chadwick; 
St Ann's, Donovan ; St. Maiy'u, Leech? St. John’s, Cropper, Peraoua were 
also directed to let off the reservoir at Beswkk, and also the canal* Lecturers 
were appointed to go through the country to make the plans known. Arch¬ 
deacon and Rankin went to Oldham; Cropper to Bradford? Chadwick himself, 
and Leech, to Ireland i and Donovan to Birmingham, Witness went to several 
places in England and then to Ireland. He bad Men M'DonougH train men, and 
there were drilling places appointed. The drilling generally took place at 
midnight. He had also seen Crupper and Bank! n e ngaged in drtl ling* 

The witness was then called upou to Identify purttcularty the defendants, 
whom he had spoken to os being present at the meeting. He mtetuok some, 
others lie did not know, and named some by the wrong names. At this there 
was a hissing from tho audience, which his Lordjhlp indignantly rebuked. 

This closed the cose for the prosecution, , ,. 

The Attunmy-Generai stated that he did not Intend ta rest the case for the 
prosecution on the evidence of the last witness. 

Tho Jury was then addressed for the defence by counsel, and by some of the 
prisoners themselves, M'Dapough and Chadwick withdrawing their plea and 
pleading guilty, and the Court rose. 

On Wednesdftv* at tho sitting of the Court, some witness were called on 
behalf of one or two of the prisoners, with a view of showing that the conduct 
Of the meetings at which they were present was peaceable, and that tn aunin In¬ 
stanced those who deposed to the sham taken by them wera mistaken as to their 

^The^Attoraey-General replied, submitting to the jury that, oven laying Die 
testimony of Ball, the approver* aside, the case woa complete against the de¬ 
fendant*, and he proceeded to review tire evidence a* It bore on each* Hla Lord- 
ohlp summed up with great care and minuteness* distinguishing tho case of each 
defendant* 

The Jury, after a short deliberation in their own room, returned Into court 
with a verdict of "Guilty'" against all the defondantfl; finding West and White, 
However, guilty of attending an unlawful assembly only, and net guilty of con- 

SP m^Lordflbip pawed the following sentence t—Grocott, Cropper, Rankin, 
West, White, and Donovan, to be imprisoned one year, and to enter Into recog¬ 
nisances at the expiration of that time, theiuseivcS ifl £100, and two sureties of 
£5!,) each* to keep the peace* Leach to bo imprisoned nine months, and enter 
Into similar recognisances, Nixon, who has been in custody four months, to be 
Imprisoned four months more, and to enter into his own recognizances in £50; 
and M«Donongh and Chadwick to be ltd prisoned six months, and to cuter into 
recognisances in £50, with two sureties in £10, to keep the peace. 

West applied for permission to be Imprisoned In Lancaster Castle. His Lord- 
■hip said that, under the present arrangements of that gaol* ho could not make 
that ordor- 

White said, when he was formerly tried at Warwick* his Lordship permitted 
him to be placed in the fi rat class Of misdemeanors. He requested th at the same 
might be done on this occasion.—His Lordship assented to this. 

The Attorney-General said that os to the other persons earned in tho indict¬ 
ment, he would not call on them tu plead—they entering into their Own recog¬ 
nisances to come up and plead, If called on* and to keep the peace for one year. 
They wrfo accordingly colled on to enter Into such recognisances, which was 

of the defendants, Mr, Barker, however, refold to accede. Ho said bo 
had been at great expense In preparing for his defence, hod nearly fifty witnesses 
In attendance, and insisted on being tried* The Attorney-General applied for a 
postponement of the trial till the next assies. 

IBs Lordship asked on what grounds,—The Attorney-General said bo had no 
other ground than that he should be obliged to go again over tho whole of the 
evidence already given, 

HU Lordship said that was not flmfflclant- ,

NORTHERN CIRCUIT- 
Mn-tTAXY Dxtlliwo.— On Tuesday* at York, several prisoners were tried be¬ 
fore Hr. Justice Mauls, and found guilty of unlawfully training and drilling to 
the practice of military exercises, on Sunday morning, tbe 28th of May lost, on 
a moor about five mlfoi from Bradford. About fifty of them wore assembled In 
military array* and stood two deep. Several were dressed In green caps* blouses, 
and belts Those in command called out to the men 44 To the right," * 4 To the 
left," H March,* “ Stop lads,” and so un. They were sentenced to various 
terms of Imprisonment, varying from throe to tea mouths* 


CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT : 

MAHsLAUGiiTXi,™On Wednesday, /, PuBen, a widow, aged 41* was found 
guilty of the manslaughter of her daughter Anne, The circumstances were ex¬ 
traordinary. The prisoner occupied the second floor room of a house Jn Princess- 
street, Fltaroy-square, with the deceased, a girl M years of ago. On the morn¬ 
ing of the 24th November, the prisoner had gone eat to work at six o'clock* and 
had directed her daughter to do some portion of nccdle-work ? and when she re¬ 
turned home, at 11 unlock, ahe found the work w m not dnne, and the deceased 
accounted for It by saying that she hod fatten asleep. Upon this the prisoner 
tied a rope round her neck* and attached it to the top of the bedstead, tying tbs 
end In such a position that the deceased could not reach It, and nho loft her in 
that state until nearly 11 o'clock at night, when, upon her entering the room* 
she found the Child quite dead, evidently from strangulation. The prisoner Im¬ 
mediately gave an alarm, and evinced the utmost regret for what had happened; 
and when the landlord went Into the room she at once admitted It wa* by her 
act that her daughter's death had been occasioned* and gave an explanation of 
tho reasons which hud Induced her to punish her in such a manner, stating that 
she had gone to sleep Instead of doing her work, and she tied her up to the bed¬ 
post to prevent her From going to sleep again, and placed her work In a chair by 
her. It appeared tliat the prisoner's general conduct towards the deceased was 
characterised by kindness* and tlut In acting as Aha did she was not actuated by 
any criminal intention. Tho jury recommended licr to money* and sho was sen¬ 
tenced to ono year's Imprisonment and hard labour.

By Mr* Edney, 



MR. DUFFY'S TRIAL, 

On Friday fse’nnlght) this trial commenced* before Boron Richards and Mr* 
Justice Fenin, and the two first days were consumed In arguments for and 
Against the quashing: of ft former Indictment found to the county of Dublin 
against the prisnnei - 

On Monday the Court decided the potot. The motion of tho prisoner's counsel 
was* that Mr. Dnflfy be not called upon to plead to tho indictment found against 
him by the Grand Jury ofthu county of the city of Dublin* because another and 
a similar indictment was put In against him to the county of Dublin* and as It 
would be an Injustice to him to lie called upon to plead to one Indictment during 
tho subsistence of another in which the crime laid was the same, 

Th8 Judgment of tho Court was, that tha whole of the cases previous to tho 
passing of the Act 6 Goo, IV. cap. 51, were against tho case made on bulialf or Mr* 
Duffy, and that there was nothing In the act to take it out of tho operation Of 
thuni; cteritEous. Tlie act did not directly apply to the present caveat all* and 
the Ccmrt could net Imply anything to disqualify the Crown from taking what¬ 
ever course It should think fit to take in furtherance of the administration of 
jtutoce. *^ 

The counsel for the prisoner, however, hud not stated all their objections i and 
on Mr. Duffy being called on to plead to the Indictment* his coansol banded to 
on hla behalf a plea of abatement, on the round of the disqualification Cby rea¬ 
son of non-residence or not being householders} of two of Um Grand Jury who 
found the bill. 

The counsel for the Crown retired- and ultimately the further consideration of 
the pica was postponed to the next day. 

The Court Intimated that in thudedjlon they hod come to on tho motion before 
them In tho morning, they by no means desired or intended to leave Mr. Duffy 
open to Uic indictment found in tho county along with that found to the city. 
Before he pleaded to the latter the Crown should dec!are what course would bo 
adopted—whether a nolle prosequi should not be entered on the other. 

Application having been made to rescind tho order Of the Court matio on 
Saturday, prohibiting the proceedings at the trial to be published in the news¬ 
papers; until the trial had been concluded* tho Court reftised to ocrade to tho re¬ 
quest. 

On raesday, the arguments <in the pica handed lu on the preriloufl day on- 
^d the Court the whole day. 

'iielr Lordships took time to consult the various authorities dted, before giv¬ 
ing Judgment. 

Before rising* the Court refused to hear Mr. Duffy, who applied to have the 
order against the publication of the proceedings at Ihe trial in the newspapers 
rescinded, and directed the application to be muds by counsel : stating nt tho 
same time that the order must remain in force* utileM it could be shown that the 
prisoner would sustain damage from the non-publication. 

RoTAToav FARLiAiiENTe.-The society for effecting periodical sessions of Par¬ 
liament In Dublin held u meeting on Monday afternoon In the Northumberland- 
buildings Hotel. Lord William Fitzgerald presided. The nicciiag wits but 
thinly aft ended* probably on account of the extreme wet which prevailed all 
day. Mr. Sbarman Crawford proposed the first resolution;— 44 That the present 
mode of legislation for Ireland Is at the root of all ihe difficulties under which 
this country labours. 1 ' Mr. S. Crawford referred ell the evils under which Ifft 
land laboured to English mbrute and Irish landlords. Dr. Carmichael moved 
the next resolution:— 1 ' 4 TJiutamnng&t the many striking instances of the neglect 
which Irish affaire, even of vital Importance* usually meet with in rhe Imperial 
Parliament* may bo stated the failure of all attempts by the Irish members to 
Em prove the laws relating to medical chart tics," Tho next resolution was as fol- 
lowa:—“That the present mode of legislation for Ireland lends to aUen&fa 
the Affections of her people* to prevent their Indiutiy and self-reliance, and 
would be Impolitic oven lu a recently conquered country." The fourth resolu¬ 
tion stated 1 That the waste lauds of Ireland offer a vast field of remunerative 
employment for her unemployed population, while the many abortive attempts 
that have been mode to legislate on tins subject to the Imperial Pari lament sitting 
at W*ttoiinsier* furnishes another argument for a meeting of the Imperial Pur-* 
Moment In Dublin F All the resolutions were paused unanimously. Lord Mns- 
sarune wits then called to The ehalr i and a vote of thanks having been passed to 
Lord W. Fitzgerald* the meeting separated- 
Tiie 0 Holes a. — T here were five eases of cholera in the North-house at Belfast 
during Saturday, Sunday* and Monday, all fatal.

cease in, activity. At Ardnacrushft* a little hamlet about two miles from 
Limerick, twenty houses were loveiled ou Monday, Thousands of the ferrite 
Acres of Tipperary are waste, and the*e are lncresj«d each day by further evic¬ 
tions. The case is the same En Limerick and Ln Clare. We find daily announce¬ 
ment Of large farmer* running away, and sweeping all with them* Thoy grow 
alarmed lost their turn may soon emne* and they evade toe fain of others by 
leaving tho land naked on the landlords’ hands, A few days since* Ln a district 
of Clare, white the farmers were at m trkot with their produce* tho landlord's 
agents descended on the fiirmere, with a large body of armed folio wera* and with¬ 
out legal process or authority of any kind. It is said* swept away all the stock on 
the land to satisfy the landlord's claims- On the other side of the picture we find 
that a tenant, holding U7 acres of land, had sold off everything* and* with the 
whole of the produce in hf& pocket, had reached Limerick, to emigrate, when ho

THE CATAMARAN. ORNAMENTAL CAST-IRON WINDOW. 




Oh Monday, Mr. Alfred Hely, the 
patentee ©f this invention, exhibited Iti 
capabilities at Portsmouth, before hU 
Royal Highness Prince Albert. 

The Catamaran consists of cylinders 
or bags, of a flexible waterproof mate¬ 
rial. filled with any article or substance 
of a less specific gravity than water, as 
hammocks, clothes, provisions, valuables, 
stores, and each like, which, being 
lashed to spam,, capstan -bars, are 
or can be speedily combined into a raft 
or float, drawing only a few inches 
water when launched, not liable* in con¬ 
sequence of lie flexible nature and open 
structure* to be swamped, rapataed, or 
stove in; end capable of carrying one 
man with 30 days 1 provisions per cylin¬ 
der, or. In round numbers, 2501b. dead 
weight at the rate of d41b, per cubic foot 
of water displaced. This Catamaran, 
which may bo constructed In tan mi¬ 
nutes by 30 hands taught the mode of 
putting it together, {Was about 30 feet 
long by 8 feet wide j ahe carried a large 
lug-sail, and was steered by an Oar over 
the stern; independently of which she 
carried two Icc-boards, about 6 feet long 
by 3 feet wide, thrust down between the 
cylinders, one forward and the other aft. 
Which answered the purpose of a sliding 
keel, and kept her to windward. 

The Catamaran was Launched on Mon¬ 
day morning at Gosport, ftt H o'clock a.h,* 
and was mounted by the inventor and 
patentee, a coxswain, and tour men* and 
worked out to Spilkcad, where she 
was anchored at ID o'clock* tine wind 
southerly, and awaited the approach of 
bis linyal Highness prince Albert, who 
I Mid previously appointed that hour and 
place la inspect the invention. 

At U o'clock his Royal Highness ar¬ 
rived in the /airy, and the Catamaran 
was pulled alongside, when the Prince 
Inspected the vested- llis Royal High¬ 
ness then went on board the Excellent 
gunnery ship, where he remained two 
hours* witnessing a flue series of exercises, 

On arriving at Osborne, the Prince 
again re-appeared in the Fairy, and 
landed on the pier under Osborne; the 
Catamaran tacked, ami In order to save 
the tide, as the wind still continued foul* 
was towed to the mouth of Portsmouth 
Harbour by her tender, after which sba 
proceeded to Gospcrt-beaeli* end woe 
token to piece*, having btsen afloat 
about nine hours. She behaved at sea 
remarkably well during her pannage ont 
and home, and *n every way unstained 
the character of seaworthiness and 
efficiency which she exhibited on her 
voyage from Dover to Boulogne end back 
In June last.

views of Ihe separation of Church end State; adding, “this showed that while 
religions prejudices had been appealed to on the one hand, the battle dn tbo 
other hud been fought on the broad principles of civil and religions liberty.” 

The Hon* J. Wortley then rephed to some observations made by Sir Culling 
Eardley on his principle*; and Sir Culling Eardicy neat explained. 

Mr. Denison proposed a vote of thanks to the Sheriff, which was seconded 
by Sir C. EardJey, and tlio proceedings terminated at two o'clock, 

MR. EDMUND BECKETT DENISON, M,P, 

Mr, Denison, who Has just been returned a second time for the West Riding* 
It will bo recollected, unseated Lord Morpeth for that division of the county At 
Hie general election of 1841, At the general election In 1847 he war again pro¬ 
posed to the electors on tbs day of nomination; but, on obtaining only one-fifth 
of the ahow of hands* Mr. LaAcellea. on behalf of Mr, Denison, declined to go to 
the poll; and Lord Morpeth and Mr- Cobden* the other candidates, were accord¬ 
ingly returned: this being a signal triumph of Free-Trade over Protectfanist prin- 
ctplcfl ; although Mr. Denison’s defeat Of Lord Morpeth in 1841 was regarded aa 
a severe blow to the party of the latter, and their policy of removing restriction*. 

At the opening of the Session of Parliament, In 184*1, Mr. Denlaou Attended 
the Address, In reply to her Majesty's Speech, In his last speech at Wakefield 
on Monday* he declared himself a friend to the continued and increased selection 
of persons for the highest offices of the State from the lower classes* and 
favourable to the reduction, of public expenditure.

To wash away dull care? 

To turn the heart from feud and pill. 

And drown the last year's strife— 

Ami shattered circles join Bgiiin, 

That should endure for life ? 

Then light the log of drawing blasso; 

We're waiting to a rftun 
To sing the songs we've mug before.

Jured, many nearly destroyed- To know the entire sum* would need very 

njiirote calculations; but* by vuluinp It at six or seven milliards* wa should keep 
within the bounds of a moderate valuation. In one month seven milliards da* 
■troyodl Seven milliards less in the circulation l Seven milliards withdrawn 
from the fortune of France 2 

Jtint Heaven! whut u void 1 And what a deep and firm faith lit the new insti¬ 
tution* wu necossaiy to look upon this, t did not lay Hie entire nfaponslbllity 
of this ft rum cl til down fill I upon the overthrown Government. I attributed a pnrt T 
and the greatest part, to events* to the state of the public mind, to the disorder 
in the street* even to some recent decree* of doubtful fitness. But when I had 
done this not of justice, I went higher, and looked upon matters aa a thinker. 
I saw a leawn In tills catastrophe. Europe had carried credit business too fin-: 
It was to expiate this wrong Credit, when hosed on advantageous work* or on 
real value, may with itnpunlty extend to an unlimited degree. But* when ap¬ 
plied to uncertain valtift or imaginary undertakings, credit dmnges both Its cha* 
racier and Its effects. Id the mrut abject form, It is little more than a weapon lu 
the hands of swindlers. On a less equivocal scale* it signifies a temporary confi¬ 
dent which no one thinks to verify. One accepts with one hand what will bo 
ftlmnat Immediately returned by the other. This pJny is prolonged without much 
dump* until the time when the world is shaken by the hand of God, Then 
these fictitious securities disappear, ns a vision vanishes In tho morning. One 
thought to hold a reality* and it is only a shadow. 

The reader must parti on rae this digression Into a field which does not belong 
to mo; l pay the tribute to the fallings of the time. The age and circumstances 
Impel us, bo that every one ia now, to some extent* a financier. Who does not 
save the treasury in his leisure hoars, and carry a score of plans for the use of 
Involved Governments in hla pockets ? 

But If the evil was great, there wus certainly no dearth of doctor*. The guar¬ 
dians of tho public coffers themselves uttered cries of alarm. They did not quit 
their pfttientfa pillow, and frt all tones uud manners Implored the assistance of 
the patricians- What great menus and what heroic medicaments 1 Nothing 
was forgotten, neither mows nor cataplasms, nor any of tho known emetics. 
The patient woa no better lor them. The pulw fell, the extrgteitica grow cold : 
the death struggle wb a imminent, 

** WJiat if I were to administer a decree ?*' thought the doctor more pirtlcii- 
Itrly reponsSMc for tho Issnq. 

And Immediately an electuary ™ darted in council which should maj the 
treasury from the gates of death. Nothing could he bolter fruited; all the 
elements Were specific, and of Infallible efficacy. One point only was difficult, 
namely, that tho public bud to furnish them. A uatinnal loan was to be & uh- 
scrlhcd at par. The cure was found to bo too dear at that price; and, for want 
of toudu, the electuary noverodviuiced beyond the cotidlfinn of a project. As may 
he imagined, the patient was no better for It; am! the crisis became more serious. 

14 1 shall not cure him without a second decree,” again said the responsible 
doctor to himself; * I must administer ona boldly and without hesitation 
Again the council met, and this time it composed a formula of dements It hud 
at hand, and of which the efficacy was notorious. Tho patient would be strength¬ 
ened by renewed vigour; the only four was that he would suffer from too great 
a surfeit. How should ho not have vlaibly increased? A portion of the Crown 
forests, of tho milliiurdii of ash and birch trees, of the seuatar elms and the his¬ 
torical linden trees—all the vegetable riches of the country wore to be applied to 
t’ e diseased organs. What treasury would not have been saved at such a price ? 
The responstblis doctor did not doubt it, and congratulated himself for having 
thought of such a measure. But, alosJ the Jealous gods betrayed hbi combina¬ 
tion. Fate would not permit the forests to be tdfleudnuriy employed In their 
natural state for the relief of the patient Tbs ash trees, the birch, and the 
linden trees refused to enter tho state coffers us essence. They must be con¬ 
verted Into metal i and there w&* the difficulty. In time the transmutation 
might, perhaps, have been possible; but of what avail is a far-off relief to a 
dying sufferer? It wai xiecusatyto act at once, for serious accidents would 
probably orour. There was a total prostration of strength and continual nyncopo. 

“Certainly," thought the responsible doctor, *• I am too spirit in decree*, it 
Is the only mentis of stepping the evil j I mtut admiuteter antubar* Something 
gentle, but decisive.” 

For the third time the council assembled, and Issued an ordinance. Nothing 
complicated or heroic*!^ a very simple, very innocent measure. The produce of 
the Crown diamonds—that is to rey, the most portable remedy—was to be applied 
to ihe patient. It was impossible to unite so much power In so small a volume, 
and to imagine a unbalance which should concentrate in Itself more virtue. It 
was only a palliative, but It was to tend io revive the etrenglh of foe patient, 
mid make him capable of awaiting tlie natural restorative power of bis organisa¬ 
tion. Alas 1 how all things here below ure vain 1 This simple measure failed us 
tha Others bad done. The diamonds were not more fortunate than the ooXt: tim 
mineral remedy deceived foe hopes of science as foe vegetable treatment had 
done, Tho state of the treasury did not Improve. 

** What a rorlous HI ness P said tho doctor to himself. « Tlirce decrees suecea- 
tively ad nil restored could not save It. Let us try a fourth, then a fifth, and bo 
oft. If I: ends fatally, it shall not bo for want of decrees." 

This rojinir bocamE- the normal slate of the treasury. A decree to foe morn¬ 
ing-another at night: decrees at oil foe financial horJroaa. Many were 
Ineffectual aa summer thunder: some few attained their object at the 
expense of the capitalists and the contributors. The treasury thus 
drew Its precarious resources, while the fortune of tha country was 
lost. Money seemed to fly from foe decrees destined to seize it, and the time 
camo wli&n it existed only In the memorv of the people as the specimen of 
a lost race. It was concealed and buried : If the panic continued some weeks 
longer* wo should retnm to the ftell plank of assignats. My friend, the Ba¬ 
ron, expected It, and hail taken precautions. Martha, on her side, wa* not 
Inactive ; she put herself at the head of a week's victuals, and kept three 
sucks of potatoes con rented to her attic. 

The crisis was at its height. Banking-houses fell with portfolios full of se¬ 
curities ; whole itfoeii closed their ware ban roe and cosh-boxes ; trad lira de¬ 
clined to fulfil thetr engagements by wholesale ; while other* expired by re- 
toll—all unable to realise foclr resource* So many reins TuicL never been 
sauisred to so abort a time ; and, if the spirit iff cvH had presided in pension, 
be could not have levelled fortunes so quick ly and so Completely. It w$m a gene¬ 
ral downfall—a fearful niifee, for which no o.te was prepared* and which startled 
the financial world In foe midst of tho abuse of credit and the fever of enterprise. 

liow could the scourge be averted ? What dyke could bo raised to stem tho 
pawing devastation? The very activity of foe country was to danger—It* wealth, 
fti resources* ha toterrom present and to come. To preserve all this was a duty, 
a Stringent and Imperious one; bnt haw? by what means? to which ride tuni ? 

Not that there was any dearth of saviour*; they multi plied excessively; tha 
walls of the town were covered with miraculous plan*. Every day hundred* of 
Individuals felt themselves called to work for the public benefit, and offered to 
take foe happiness of society on commlffllon. In their opinion all these suffer¬ 
ings were only tho result of a mteundersbuidlng* and to cure them they Bad on 
infallible balm and some magic words. It was a new profession which laid created 
itself—that of saviour of the country with or without potent of thegotermnetit.

THE AUEOBA OF NOV. 17, 18*8, IN PORTUGAL. 

(from a Corrtfpan&Hi.) 

Ow the evening of Friday* Nov. it* IMS, a most splendid Aurora was visible 
hero (Oporto )p and caused a good deal of consternation among the inhabitants, 
who locked on it as « precursor of the cholera. The phenomenon commenced 
soon after sunset, and reached its maximum of brilliancy about 8 p.k„ at 
which time the whole of Hie northern half of tho heavens up to the zenith 
was one blaze of rose-coloured light, with columns <sf bright flame which con- 
stoutEy shifted their position. From this time the splendour of the Aurora 
decreased, until, at H r.a.* only a feint light lingered along the 
northern horizon. It is worthy of notice that* before sunset, some magnetic 
needles, used to some I«vetting operations In the neighbourhood, were observed 
to be greatly disturbed. The tiny bud been very fine and sunny, hue cold, 
and the wind north. 1 am not aware that the barometer showed any unusual 
fluci nations. 

At Madrid, foe Aurora also presented a most splendid appearance, and the 
papers state that the common people there called it *« The triumphant Advent 
of foe cholera." 

Ihe romc evening, at Uuelras, a serious accident occurred* In one of the 
ch arctic* there, the preacher, by a singular coincidence, had been improving 
an hla congregation the signal vengeance which had overtaken foe Cities of 
foe I Jain, when ** the Lord rained fire from heaven upon them*” Aa the cun- 
gregfUJon dispersed, those who first went out— struck with the unusual (and 
to them, most alarm lug) appearance which foe Aurora presented—rushed 
htoj Into t*te church, shrieking '* The end of foe world l—tile end of th* 
world 1 C<hI ia raining fire upon ta / ” TJig scene of omifualtm which followed 
was dreadfbh and many persons were thrown down mid trampled upon by 
the temfled crowd* who pressed towards tlio &1 tor us the only place of safety*

CHRISTMAS MORALITIES, 

The moralities of Christmas l And wlrnt are they ? Arc not 
moralities always moralities? And is there any season in which it 
is more proper than in others to exhibit and to practise them? 
Certainly not. Christmas moralities and virtues are those of the 
whole year; but at Christmas time the heart, for once, is more 
our teacher than the world. We are more willing than usual to 
listen to the promptings of the inner voice* and to encourage kindly 
sentiments towards each other, We do not speak of Cliristmas Day 
merely. That Is a day sacred to all hearts, and every pulpit in the 
land has a privileged expositor of its sanctity. We speak of 
Christmas time—the period intervening between Christmas Eve 
and Twelfth. Night—the close of the Old Year and the beginning 
of the New; and we seek to discover the social idea that both 
embellishes and consecrates it. 

To many CJnistmns is a time of sorrow. The man hard buf¬ 
feted by the world, who has struggled during a whole year to make 
both ends meet, and to retain his social position, dreads the 
examination of his affairs, which he too surely knows will prove 
that all his efforts have been m vain. To him Christmas is but 


the remembrancer of distress, and the shadow of approaching 
calamity* 

Stern Ruln*s ploughshare drives elate 
Full on Mi bloom. 

And crushed beneath tha furrow^ weight 
Shall be his doom. 

Yet even such a man may, if he pleases, find consolation at Christ¬ 
mas, not only by forgetting the perplexities of his position for the 
one day, in which men resolve to throw olf care, but by learning 
to look the worst steadily in the face, and so gather strength 
to rise above it. But it is only to the struggling—and they . 
are, unfortunately, a large class in this world of keen competi¬ 
tion—that Christmas comes robed in terrors. To the rich man, who 
is master of his own wealth, and to that happy character, the rich 
poor man, whose wants are measured by his means, Christmas times 
arc ever genial. The social sentiment which fills the minds of all 
who reflect, or of multitudes who do not reflect, is that of a rub¬ 
bing off of scores with ail men, moral as well as pecuniary ^ of a 
beginning again with new hopes, and of a celebration of the 
compact with ourselves and the world—by hospitality, good fellow¬ 
ship, and good wishes. The main idea is derived from 
the religious character of the festival: it is that of 


forgiveness. Of all the social virtues forgiveness is, per¬ 
haps, the most prolific* Like all unselfish feelings it is a 
blessing to self. We forgive for the delight of forgiving ; 
and we increase thereb y oar own chance of forgiveness. It is not 
in the bargain, but it is paid to ns. We did not sow the one seed 
in anticipation of such a harvest j but we gain an abundant crop, 
all the more precious because utterly unexpected. To banirb ani¬ 
mosity from our breast is to get rid of a disagreeable and trouble¬ 
some visitor ; to expel hate is to free ourselves from a corroding 
disease- But it is far better even than that j for we not only expd 
that which is unpleasant and hurtful, but in the place of it we re¬ 
ceive, and make one with our own being—spirit of our spirit—that 
which is pleasant and beneficial* Go out, Hatred—come in, Love l 
Get thee gone, Ifoncour : and welcome, most welcome, thou sweet* 
visaged and full-eonled Charity l The heart being once opened to 
forgive, cannot be shut again immediately. A whole train of 
generous feelings, that only want encouragement and an open door, 
rush in and take jiosscssion, and cannot be extruded again in 
one day, although wo should tiy ever so much. Torgivenesr 
may not, like Mercy, be twice blessed* It may not bles* 
the man who is forgiven* It may be scorned and con-

teamed} but what of that ? Tho Tttore it is scored, the greater 
is its brilliancy ; the greater tho contempt or ingratitude with which 
it is received, the greater its own merit. Bcsidet, the tintrt forgiven 
may not know that he is forgiven. There is no ostentation in the 
matter* There may bo Mercy without Forgiveness ; but wherever 
Forgiveness is, Mercy cannot bo absent* Mercy, too, may be 
proud and haughty, and even revengeful; but Forgiveness is always 
humble* A savage may bo merciful ; but it takes a Christian to 
forgive. 

The minor virtues of Christmas time arc all contagious. When 
all the world forms good wishes for a Merry Christmas and a 
Happy New Year, who is tho churi that would refuse to respond 
to them or share them ? If it bo true that 41 one fool makes many/ 
it is still more true that good wishes begot good deeds. ICindly 
feelings are ns epidemic as foolish ones ; perhaps mere so* In 
ordinary seasons the distance between the tongue and the heart 
may be somewhat long ami devious ; but the good wishes that are 
upon the tongues of all men must perforce take up their habita¬ 
tion in the hearts of some of them. 

The hospitalities of an English Christmas are proverbial ad ever 
the world * From the Monarch in the bails of Windsor down to the 
humblest peasant or mechanic in his cottage or lodging mime 
hospitality is exercised at Christmas, Every family, according 
to its means, makes merry tor this day. And while there is feast¬ 
ing among the rich the poor are not neglected. The good old 
English gentleman of tho ballad is a type of all English at the 
period of Christmas— 

Far while he touted all Use rich 

He ne'er forgot the poor. 

The palace and the hall rejoice, and tho workhouse shares the 
universal feasting of the occasion. Paupers for once, at least, in the 
melancholy round of the year are mode partakers, not of the good 
feelings, which, wf trust, they always shore, but of the good ehetr 
that is id fashion for one day In the three hundred andsixty-five. 
So strong is the sentiment of the day that even grim justice has 
been known to relax, and permit the cell of the prisoner to be 
irradiated t>y such hospitable Sympathy, as roast beef and plumb 
pudding cau afford to their recipients. There are thou¬ 
sands upon thousands of magnificent spectacles that no cyo 
ever sees in the aggregate of their magnificence, but which tho 
ctWc brain can nevertheless imagine. What u spectacle, for in* 
suuoec, England would afford on this, or any other 25th day of 
December, to an eye so far raised tip above our atmosphere, and 
so penetrating, as to he able to look into its myriad habitations— 
oulaces, ensile?, towers, halls, villus cottages, and hovels; whether in 
li aililet, village, town, or metropolis, all at the same time I What an 
irradiation of smiling faces would look up into the cold wimry air 1 
What genial gathering together of families and friends would dot 
he large and living map with multitudinous spots of light; small 
as the glow-worm’s lamp in so mo places, but sdJl clear and visible ; 
and in others, large and varied as a city illumination! But though 
vc cannot see these things, we know that such things are. We 
know that parents and children, friends and lovers, are associated 
for tho purpose of intercommunion and hospitality ; and that 
^ove, under some one or other of its various manifestations—of 
uareuts for children, children for parents, the young for eiich other, 
and of neighbour for neighbour—is the presiding spirit of these 
homely and homefal festivals* 

With joy uareJgncU brothers antf slfltors meet. 

The social hour';. awlft-wluged, unnoticed fleet. 

The parents, partial, eye their hopeful jean. 

We know that under thousands and tens of thousands of mistletoe- 
houghs kind words are said, and sweet rows registered often with¬ 
out the aid of words at all, though certainly not without tho aid 
of jjpg, and eves, and pressure of tho palms. Wo know, too, that 
acquaintanceship becomes warmer, friendship more cemented, and 
love more loving, under the influence of tins day 1 and wc forgive 
Christmas its bills (which would have to be paid some time or 
other), for the sake of the charity and goodwill which it fosters 
through all ranks of society* Therefore wo say, Blessings upon 
Christmas, and to each and all of our readers may it prove a Merry 
one 1 


6 N CHRISTMAS CAROLS* 

Bt ft. H* HOftNfe 

WITH AN ILLUSTRATION BT DODGSON. 

In preparing to take a seasonable, and therefore a genial survey of the 
half festive half religious songs, entitled Christmas Cowls, wo ate 
stopped at the outset by two considerations, each claiming precedence* 
Since it is quite clear they cannot both stand first, wb must attend to 
them separately* The two considerations to which wo refer are these ; 
the claims of the ancient Carols, such as were sung hi the days of the 
Anglo-Saxon .Kings after their conversion to Christianity, and in the 
festivities of tbfchlmio season among tho Danish and Anglo-Norman 
Kings, all of whom u worn their crowns In public’’ on the occasion, 
which, with other fesi remoto dates, take precedence in respect of time; 
and the claims uf the modern Carols, dating from Herrick, or rather 
from Milton's Hymn to the Nativity, which must certainly take pre¬ 
cedence of all others for m poetic grandeur, and, we may pdd, its 
divine fervour, Settled, HoWeVoiy this point must be before we 
can proceed; and it flmv be n* Well, therefore, to commence at one® 
with our friends In iha olde&tfW* 

4a early as tile fltfct lirid second centuries, wo find mil tho Birth of 
ChrUt was celcbmtcd. In tho third century, this "Holy flight” was 
kept with *> many festivities, thftt Gregory TffiSsUnzeh, who died 
a,i>. 3811, and other Christian teachers of the time, considered itm- 
ceesary to caution tho people against making the MlaHtire memblo 
a heathen rite, by ft renting tho Heavenly object! in aH ox cess of 
feasting, ringing, M*\ darning. It would also appear that t km exhort 
ationa to sobriety We partly fttomftd as a Wise gAttW add Matoi? 
warning; for, in the sumo age, there Is the record bF A hOTrribfft, atrodty, 
In tho shape of a wholesale massacre, committed wliSi ah indulgence In 
these festivities had thrown the people off their guard. A multitude of 
rhrlsUilW miTi women, and children, of all ages—bed assembled In 
the temple, at Nicouedb, m Bithynla, to commemorate the Nativity 
In the height of their happiness, when all tho wickedness and cruelties. 
0 f the world were forgotten, Diocletian the Tyrant surrounded 


the temple with his soldiers, who sot it on fire* and nearly twmtg 
thousand pfqpte were burned alive, or otherwise destroyed on the oc¬ 
casion. 

The Anglo-Saxon Kings, having been converted, held the fes¬ 
tival of the Nativity with great solemnity and splendour, and 
displayed the greatest hospitality to all stwmgera of rank. A similar 
course w m adopted by the Danish and Anglo-Norman Kings, Nor 
were these ceremonies by any means confined to solemn ob¬ 
servances; on the contrary, the descendants of those who, in Pagan 
times, had been used 10 quaff great bowls of wine in honour of Thor 
and Odin, now drank them to commemorate the Apostles, tho Virgin 
and other sacred names, A curious Anglo-Norman Carol, of the date 
of the thirteenth century, h given by Mr. Brand, in his M Popular An¬ 
tiquities ” (yah 1, p, 871), " which is, to nil intents and purposes, ft jolly 
bacchanalian song, for a baas voice* The greatest rejoicing and merri¬ 
ment prevailed, particularly as displayed in dancing* and ringing Carole; 
and, to me h an excess had this been carried, that a preposterous le¬ 
gend has grown cut of it, carefully handed down by William of 
Malmesbury, who gravely relates how that fifteen young women and 
eighteen young men were dancing, and sieging Carols (a*d. 1012) in 
the church-yard of a church dedicated to St, Magnus, on tho day be¬ 
fore Christmas, whereby they greatly disturbed one Robert, a priest, 
who was performing mass in the church; how that tho said Robert 
sent to tell thorn to desist, but they would not listen; How this Ro¬ 
bert offered up prayers for a suitable punishment; and how that the 
whole party wore miraculously compiled to continue ringing and danc¬ 
ing for ft whole year, night and day, without ceasing—feeling neither 
Heat nor cdld, hunger Bar thirst, weaHntoi nor vrAut of bleep s and, though 
their clothes did not wear out with all this inordinate exercise, yet the 
earth beneath them did; so that, when they left off, the earth had 
Worn away alt round them to the depth of several feet, while they 
danced in the hollow. 

The earliest Carol is* of course, tho Nativity Carol mentioned in 
Lida (c* ir. v* 14), which whj sung by the Angela. In the twelfth book 
of * Paradiae Lost ” this hymn is thus mentioned:— 

11 is place of birth a solemn angel tolls 
To simple shepherds, keeping watch by night i 
They gladly thither baste, and by a quire 
Of squadron'd angels hear his Cart jf sung. 

Other liyrnna were gradually com posed oath is subject; and it is stated 
by Mr. Brand, in lift * s Popular Antiquities,” on tho authority of an 
ancient Ritualist, that "in the earlier ages of the Church, the bishops 
were accustomed, on Christman Day, to ring Carols among tho clergy*" 
So say Durand and others. 

But it is time to give the reader a few specimens of the «Christmas 
Carols" of our forefathers* 

Amidst a grout mass of very questionable stuff, not to call it rubbish, 
some of cur earliest Carols possess a peculiar beauty—a sort of devout 
Innocence and bap^v faith, very refreshing in themselves, and more ea- 
pccially when compared with the modem, as well ns the elder rubbish 
to which we have alluded* Tire first we shall select is from tho Ilar- 
kiau MBS* (No.Sft&b—time of Hoary VI.) ; printed, also, in Ritson’t 
" Ancient Sougft” Bishop Taylor considers it identical with the earliest 
one, which tlio Angels sung to the Shepherds:— 

CHRYSTO FAtiEMUS CANTICAM RXCELSTB GLORIA. 

When Cliryst Was bom of Mary* free. 

In Bethlehem, that fayre dtee,

Two words, illegible in the M.&* we have been obliged to supply, 
and to moderize several Anglo-SAiOfc characters and abbreviations 
All the rest is verbatim. 

In otto of the Coventry pageants, In the early port of ilia 15th cen¬ 
tury, several songs art: Introduced, rude in structure, but, as Sandy* 
thinks, fairly entitled to bo regarded aa Carols. The one we are about

Carols wens much in request during the whole of this century, as 
we learn from the above and other mithoritiea. Tusacr mentions one to 
ii£ ba sung to the tube of 1 King Solomon ;* ” and in tho time of 
Shfikspeare Carols were ctmtinuaHy sting about tho tfreetft ah Christ- 
msa. 

A Latin poem by Kaogeorirtta, n ftnvrmnn, written in tho fiixteriitb 
ccntun-, and made English* after a fashion, by Burnaby Go6dgc* alludcl 
to the Carol singing at tHe time, with ft! various cdatotlll, which were 
evidently far more jofcfihd than revbristittal.

Wefttust condutHs with one or t\vo more spud mens, tdir acoonut of 
the amtent Carols, toguftor with the merry smvgi of the aeoaou; and 
we canhot refrain making our Beiodiofi onoe again of a song on tire head 
of the forest lord of yore. It la ushered in, u usaal, with trampela and 
miustralsy:— 


CAROL 

On hinging [Boar's Head, wed before Chriitmta Prina f, at 3L John BapttiCt 
College t Oxford, Christmas, 1007* 

The boare ia dead. 

See* hare is his head; 

What man could have done more 
Tnan bi* head off to strike* 

Meleager like, «. 

And brings it m 1 doe, bofore ? 

He, livtog, spoyied 
Whare good men toyled. 

Which made kind Ceres adrrye; 

But now dead and druwno. 

Is very good for brawnc* 

And we have brnuffht it for ye* 

Then set downe the swlnoyard. 

The foe to iho viueyatd, 

Lot Bacchus crown e his fill; 

Lett this tooure's head and nmatard 
Stand for pig, goose* und custard, 

And bo you ere welcome all I 

The other Carols with which we intended to terminate our account 
of these songs of the olden time, we find, on further consideration, to be 
too long for extract. As, however, they arc of the legendary diameter, 
we must content ourselves with Jelling the story of one of tho beat* 

Tho first ift called “ The Carnal and the Crano,* 1 TUo Star in the 
East was so bright that it shone into King Herod's Chamber and 
alarmed him. He questioned the Wise Men about it, who told him that 
a baba was bom this uight who should have power which no King 
could destroy* Herod pointed to a roasted cock which was on a dish be¬ 
fore him, and said, ^ That bird shall os soon be able to crow three times 
as this thing bo true which ye telL” Whereupon featb ere instantly grew 
over tho roasted cock, and ho rose high on his legs and crowed three 
times standing up in tho dish I 

Wo pass on to the popular broad-sheet Carols, of a rather more mo> 
dern date. Though the majority be very wretched stuff, there will some¬ 
times be found verses that appeal directly to the feelings by their homely 
strength, and coming from tho heart of the writers* 

Oh* prey teach your children, man* 

The while that you arc here; 

It will ba totter for your louls 
When your corpse lies on Its bier* 

To-day you may be alive, dear mutj. 

Worth many a thousand pound j 
To-morrow may be dead, dear mufl. 

And your body laid under ground; 

With croc turf at your head, O man, 

And anoihtir at your feet. 

Thy goad deeds and thy bad, O man. 

Will all together meet* 

In the century preceding the present, the wassail bowl was com¬ 
monly carried, on Christmas eve, to the ho uses of the nobles and geutry, 
with bongs, in return for which a small present was expected. As mid¬ 
night approached, the carol-singers and bell-ringers prepared to usher 
in the morning of the Nativity with the usual rejoicings so that all 
at once bells nmg in the middle of the night, singing was heard, and 
bunds of music went playing through the towus ami villages and out¬ 
skirts, and round about to all the principal houses of the county fami¬ 
lies. In the West of England the CaroLsiugers often used to repair to 
the church porch, or to the porch of some ancient house, to aing-in 
Christmas morning; aud it ia a rural scene of this kind which the Artist 
has pourtrayed in the Illustration that accompanies the present account. 

A similar scene ia described by the author of the “ Sketch-Book,” on 
hia visit to Yorkshire at this time of the year* He awoke in the night 
with the sound of music beneath his window, which then floated off to 
a distance. Then there was singing, which sounded in the porch. 
■* In the morning/* ho says, * 4 as Hay musing on my pillow, I heard 
the sound of little feet patturiug outside of the door, and a whispering 
consultation* Presently, a choir of antedl voice* chanted forth on old 
Christmas Carol, the burden of which was— 

Eojokc t our Saviour, he was bom 
On Chrlstmaa-day In the morning 

It 18 extraordinary, considering the beauty and grandeur of the sub- 
ject—com prising, as it does, in its essence, the whole hLtoiy of hu¬ 
manity, its ei-roro, its sufferinga, its hopes, and final victory—how very 
few poets have written Carols* We only know of one great poet who 
has done so—neod we say that this one was Milton t (Gfltiie and Cole¬ 
ridge have each written n Carol, but of uo very remarkable kind.) It 
muat not, however, be forgotten, that Herrick has written several very 
beautiful Carole; not displaying any strength of vision or divine ardour, 
but characterised by a sweet poetical playfulness. Here is a verse from hia 

ODE ON THE BIRTH OF OUR 3AVIGOR*

FRIENDS TOGETHER, 

A CHRISTMAS C HA N'T AND CHORUS. 
BY LEIGH HUNT* 


} 


Friends, together met this day, 

In the godd old Christmas way* 

With its merry pastimes rare, 

And its jolly unwholesome fare, 

And its fire too good to bear, 

And the old amazing noise 
Of its y oung and its old boys, 

And the mialetoe, which Mcliy 
Hopes will make ’em still more jolly, 

And the berries on its holly* 

Like delighted Mdanchblyv 
And a world of wise old folly ; 

Say, oh say I and let the sound 
Run this happy circle round, 

What-s the height, the topmost blessing, 
Of the bliss wo’re thus possessing ? 

What the crown of Christmas weather?— 
Friends together. 

Chorus. 

Friends together j 

Friends, well mot and long together, 
M the crown of Christmas weather. 

Friends together! words divine j 
S neatest lest of Auld Lang Syne ; 

First, two small friends full of glee, 
Brotherly slid sisterly. 

Link’d in those flan-holding bAiide— 

Ono another’s little hands. 

Schoolmates then, who* os they pace, 
Arms o’er shoulders interlace. 

Lovers next, ahl friend* Indeed* 

If their fovea their youth exceed 
(I have beard that some, for life. 

Have been husband call’d, and wife). 
Friends like «a, then, met in mirth 
In a corner Of old cAVtb, 

And, in spite of earthly leaven, 

Hoping we may meet in Heaven; 

Hoping there for tearless weather, 

Friends together. 

Cho&us. 

Friends together ; 
Knowing not a care together, 

Such as spots e'en Christmas weather. 

Care be welcome, if It bo 
Gomfort’a friend, not enemy; 

Manhood’s nerve, affection’s test, 

And the work secure of rest; 

And to that good end withal, 

And the weal of great and small. 

Lot us rise, sirs, one and all; 

Not against one right possessor, 

Not against the Queen, God bless her I 
Not ogaiuat the very aasfeaor, 

If he spare ihe poor ms» ! s dreaaorj 
But with glasses, full and high. 

Like-the prospect in our eye, 

And this wish to drink it by- 
May the whole earth, like this table, 
Making Christmas faith no fable, 

Stand, ere long, in bloodless weather. 
Friends together* 

QHOHttt. 

Friends together; 

Rain or shine, not raring whether, 

Bright in soul, and friends together.

Ellon, or Louisa, very devotedly, and may even b$ve deluded yourself 
with the romantic Idea that yon know what true love in; but if yon ne¬ 
ver loved Plum "Pudding, before you reached, your teen*, with an un¬ 
speakable intensity of delight and fervour; and if you did not long for 
Christmas with a yearning affection, in order to behold, possess, and 
enjoy the idol of your stomach (and the stomach, if not tbs scat of the 
mind, is very often its master), you have misted an experience of life. 
You have not loved thoroughly. You ore but half a man in the riches 
of your memory; and no future time can give you such a joy as 
you hove lost. No! there is nothing in alitor life that yields such un¬ 
alloyed delight fta pudding yields to the boy. la tha 1 man’s money 
worth the boy 1 * pudding ? No! The money may be dearly prized, gloated 
over, aud hardly won ; but It never did and never can afford the deep 
satisfaction of pudding. The Plum acquired by Smith or Jenkins, and 
upon which he retires into the country, at the age of sixty or there- 
abouta, to attend to hb rheumatism and cultivate his cabbage-garden* 
does not give him the same fierce joy to think of, and rapturous delight 
to hold* as the Pi*UM*Pui>DtNG of that same Smith or Jenkins gave him 
w hen ho wore a pinafore. The heart is scored and dry as a leaf before 
the w Plum” Is gained. Experience baa proved all things to be “vanity 
and vexation of spirit;’* even gold itself; but the heart is freak and 
now, and full of all sweet imaginings when Plum-Pudding {s the prize. 

If money be not comparable to pudding, neither are the other prizes 
for which men struggle. Fame? Poob! What b fame in comparison 
with pudding ? Rank ? It is preposterous to imagine, if we weigh the 
delights of the one against the delights of the other, that rank would 
not hick the beam, and thus show, in the most convincing of inodes, the 
superior weight and solidity of the boy's gratification. 

Deep love, as we nil know, is allied to sorrow. “The couraa of true 
love never did run smooth and what sorrow In love is there in that 
story of the bov, who, upon one delicious Cliristmes Day, having eaten 
his fill of pudding, was observed to burst into an uncontrollable pasaiutt 
of tears. u What are you crying for, Johnny P” said his father's guest* 
unaware of Johnny’s weakness, or rather of the Strength of bio affection 
for pudding; ** Because,” said Johnny* eobbiug vehement! y, rt 1 can’t eat 
any more pudding P u Fill your pockets, my little manl” said his fa¬

PLUM-PUDDING.— \ CHRISTMAS RHAPSODY. 

WITH ILLUSTRATIONS BY KENNY MEADOWS. 

Who that has lived to years of discretion, or thundered into au ego of 
induxUtbn, can say ttwt maturity baa ever afforded him each an object 
of intense irratifiwtion anil love, as boyhood afforded lum inn pudding? 
Hot an ordinary pudding, of apple, AM damoon batter, or other 
everT-day material, but a Pum-PcnDtSO !-tho pudding, m fact, bo- 
fore the patrldan splendor and true nobility of which ah other puddmg, 
are vulgar, and of no account. Reader, lay your hand upon your kwrt* 
ami confess. Have you ever loved anything, in your later yearn, with 
tbe deep devotion you felt for Plum-Pudding when you teem but ten or 
eleven years old ? You mny have loved some dear Mary*, or Meh, or 
Louisa, when you were nineteen or twenty; but was the love so a]i. 
pervading, so deeply passionate, so utterly ongroesmg, so msatmble, so 
Lag dwelt upon, as your love for pudding? Again I mutt answer that 
it JL not, mid could not bavo been. You may have loved Mary, or 


’TIb in delirioiifl boyhood, on Christmas Day, when the pudding is served, 
and a large slice, smoking hot, is put into our plate by our fond mother. 
To talk ot love under a hawthorn tree, in comparison with such delight 
ns that, shows little knowledge of the real sources of enjoyment- 
This quotation from Bums reminds me of the loss that literaluro lias 
sustained in the ignorance of that poet of the merits of PI urn -F adding. 
He tasted a Scotch pudding—an unshapely, if not unseemly thing, 
called a “ Haggis,*' and ho became inspired. What Would hia in¬ 
spiration have been bad ho known what ftn English pudding: was? 
Would he then have exclaimed, as he has done, that Haggis was 

Tho jfteat chieftain of the pudding race ? 

I should think not Scotchman as he was, he would have degraded 
Haggis to its proper place, and thought it treason againbt the ma¬ 
jesty of the real monarch of puddings, to have exalted into his high place 
so miserable and so plebeian a pretender. 4 * They never saw dainties 
that think haggis a feast," says a proverb of hia country, and like most 
proverbs it says truly. But 

The sturdy Saxon* pndding-fed* 

The trembling earth resounds Ms tread* 

Clap In hia strong right flst the blade* 

He’ll make it whistle ? 

And cut off leg, or arm* or head. 

Like top ot thistle i 

I h ay ft often wondered who invented Plum-Pudding. The name of 
that benefactor of our species is lost in the night of ages. We may* how- 
evei^ speculate on this subject. It is, doubtless, to a woman that the 
world is indebted for this glorious discovery. Could she revisit this 
earth that she Once adorned with her presence, and enlightened with her 
genius, and see how many homes $he makes bappy 3n this Christmas of 
1848, and what thousands of dear little boys and girls do honour to her 
invention* whut a felicity she would enjoy. ! see her in my mind’s eye 
at this moment, 41 fat, fair, and forty." She must have been moderately 
stout, for good-tempered people generally grow to ft comfortable rotun¬ 
dity ; and good-tempered sho moat assuredly was, or she could never 
have compounded so kindly and so genial a mixture as Plum-Pudding. 
Fair, 1 am positive ahe was. In her youth she must have been surpass¬ 
ingly so* and her mind, upon her face, spoke gentle peace; soft content¬ 
ment, and purest serenity. She had, moreover* a large family of chil¬ 
dren whom sho dearly loved, and Who dearly loved her, for her own 
sake, as well as for the puddings. Then ehe must have been about forty 
(rather under, perhaps) when she applied tbe powers of her mind to the 
great work which was her appointed mission on earth. Sack a work 
could not have been accomplished without much experience, and deep 
thought; unless we are to believe (and 1 would not lightly reject 
even that theory) that she was inspired for padding as Bbakspearo 
wfl3 for poetry. I fool, and know—though I cannot prove—that she 
was the model of ft good mother, and a happy wife* and tbe ndtnncr 
of bor kind. I am certain that she was the binefitetreas of her coun¬ 
try. It is ii pity that we do pot kftow her name, or any particular® 
of her history. We cannot oven discover as much about her as Of 
Rhakspearo’s father. The great fact about him is, that bo could 
write Ids name. Whether tho could do uo It is impossible to say. Ye 
lit wary iiiiLiquariiun-, InvestigRte this matter. What a price bor auto¬ 
graph would fetch I The City of London* that bought Shak-fpeare’s 
autograph at a large price—not without Sore grumbling, however, at 
the extravagance (lost money for City least*)—would have given a 
double or a treble price for hers* or pudding is not pudding, and al¬ 
dermen ore not aklurmcn. Thau, the age in w h ich she lived hns not yet 
boon ascertained—lit lie docs the world know of its truest nod beat 
friend a. It iOfflk to mu, that Urn lady must have been a Saxon—a 
contemporary* probably* of King All ted. There were pancakes in 
those days* for Alfred himself cooked, or iniscouked them in the 
shepherd's hut; and if pancake* why not Phuft-Pudding? There la 
something so truly Saxon ip the whole compound—strong ami tweet, 
substantial, but riot heavy—generous and sufficing, but Sn no degree 
stupefying—that Iffum-P lidding must bo pronounced, on internal evi¬ 
dence, to bo an invention of the Saxon mind. The Lime of Alfred gave 
us trial by jury—an iiusUttUi&u only second to the effects of Hum- 
Pudding on the English character; and it is vciy likely that the 
same age produced both. Trial by Jury, Plum-Pudding, and fehaks- 


peore! these are tho triumphs of the Saxon l Do homage to 
die genius of the inventor of Hum-Pudding! Celebrate her 
merits, ail ye mothers of the land! Love her, all ye little boys 
and girls I Bow down to her, iSiss Acton! Mrs. Ruudelll and 
Mistress Meg Dod», of the Cleikum Inn* St. Ronan’&I And 31. Soyer, 
of the Reform Club, confess with humility, that, did she appear on 
earth again, you would kneel before her, and ask permission* like a gal¬ 
lant Frenchman, to kiss the ground upon which gbo trod. 

Another theory might be started as to tbe invention of Pium-P lid¬ 
ding. As it is alleged that Homer did not compose the * Iliad;” that 
the poem is a kind of pudding of which the muter mis were furnished 
by many hands—the plums by one, tire-apices by another; so it is pos 
sible that no one person invented Hum-Pudding. There U a tendency 
to rob tire authors of immortal works of the glory of their handiwork, 
or brain work, and to deny even their existence. Many have denied 
that Homer Jived at all; and* in our day, Slmkspeare 1ms been treated as 
ft “Myth.” Now, if these great names have suffered, I do not see why 
the inven tor of Plnm-P tiddi ng she n!d escape unacath ed* Happily, h ow- 
ever, for her memory, she hire no numo, or most assuredly i t would not 
have been left unsssai led. Obscurity is almost unassailable; nothing - 
nnot Is entirely bo. 

But we brtve pondered too long upon tho past Let ua Gx oui 
thoughts upon tbe present In a household where there are live or six 
children* the eldest not above ten or eleven, the making of the pudding 
is indeed an event It is thought of days, if not weeks, before. To bn 
allowed to shore in the noble work, h ff prize for young am bi Lion. The 
chief reward for youthful merit in tho early days of December, is to be 
allowed, on the 24th, to assist in picking the plums for that occasion. 
Little miss, with pride in her heart, and satisfaction in her eyes, sits 
that day at the tables and says in her soul* “ I helped to make it!” Tho 
veiy father of such children* if Ire deserve pudding himaeJC, shares th*rir 
pleasure. If he be at ail imaginative, fill the faculties of the mind may 
be made available for the love of pudding, lie has glorious visions at 
the very name. Bairn* I They recol Turkey, and its men with lung 
gowns, black beards crooked scimitars, dark sparkling eyes, lo *ay no- 
thing of Giaours, Zideikas, Bulbuls, and gardens of rose*. Qtrtanh!

gave their name to these berries. Spice I That is still butter ; tlie

He is to dispense, and pay for it; but cannot expect to enjoy it m they 
do. He baa gone through that phase of existence. He has bad hts <k 
light, and can only renew it by looking kindly upon theirs. Banished 
from the kitchen upon all other occasions, tho boys Etud girls nro permit 
ted to enter into its precincts on that grand day when thy padding is to 
be compounded. They are allowed a sight of those inexpressible mys¬ 
teries. If it be cook that makes the pudding* great is cook, and much to 
be respected: if it be mother, greater than usual is mother, and dearer 
to the imaginations of those busy, excited* anxious, and most doe ireful 
little ones. But the taking up of the pudding is an event even more im¬ 
portant. Lo I the lid is raised, curiosity stands on tip-toe* eyes sparkle 
with anticipation, little hands ore clapped in extecy* almost too great to 
iind expression in words. 44 The hour arrives—tire moment w isbed am',

envious fate should nut allow it to bo an event, and mnr the glorious 
concoction in ita very birth. And then when it is dished, when idl fears 
of this kind are over, when the roast beef has been removed, when tho 
pudding, in all tho glory of its own splendour, shines upon the table, how 
eager ia the anticipation of the near delight! How beautifully it steams I 
How delicious it smells! How round it is! A kiss is round* ifoj horizon 
is round, the earth is round, lire moon Is round* the sun ami ainra, and 
all the host of heaven are round. So ts Pluni-lfiiddmg. Sharon Turnci *

horkon which it forma is the second; and throughout nature

have done so. It is almost a pity that such lovely roundneas should h*

The long-expected evening hns at length come, when, aa usual, the 
mysterious pannier is brought into the hull of the happy mansion— 
youria or mine, dear reader ?—that ia, every nmffa who is rejoicing in 
the Wife of his Youth and the Children of bis Love. The Parcels 1 De¬

and its stopping known and distinguished I It has not passed by—the 
knock is heard—it is not designed for a neighbour. It belongs to this 
house* It is Grandpapa’s Hamper 1

CHRISTMAS SPORTS, 

BY UNCLE TOM. 

WITH AN ILLUSTRATION BY WEUNERT. 

tvT me suppose that the Christmas Dinner bus been served and eaten— 
and that the render has heard so much about Christmas cheer and old 
English fare as to render unnecessary any further expatlotion upon their 
lb and moo or their excellence—that the padding, prime favourite and 
rery symbol, aa far na eating u concern ad, of the groat English festival of 
Kho year, has been displayed, steaming and delicious, and has been pro- 
ToLinced by all tasters, whether young or old, to have been supor-excel- 
ent—that the dessert, has been placed upon the table—and that all has 
been enjoyed that weak human nature can enjoy in the way of edibles 
and. potables; what is next to bo done at any comfortable circle* to which 
the reader is supposed to be invited ? The thought arises in all minds 
—especially in the young ones—that something more should be done in 
celebration of the day. Eating and drinking are but vulgar modes of 
enjoyment (and it fa oslonidling how prone people are to come to this 
sago conclusion after they have feasted sufficiently )—and something else 
fa therefore to be thought of to keep up the genial hilarity of Christinas 
Night, Wliat shall it bo? I suppose a family circle, the members of 
which, both young ntid old, are aware of tho clalroa of the poor and 
nnhappy, They have distributed thelr l« uq ty, according to thdr means, 
among all the needy within reach of It ; they have not forgotten tho 
servants that arc warm in tho kitchen t nor the beggar that la cold at the 
pate; ami they have clear consciences, and nothing to trouble them, 
cither done or undone* for the remainder of the day. The question is 
asked nt mich a board as this ; and a little musical voice 
of a boy of eight or nine* or of a girl of six or seven years of age* pro- 
ti-u trees in favour of 11 Bnup-Dragon,” A voice more musical still, from 
blushing seventeen, of the softer sex, pronounces for a dance, possibly 
with some lurking visions of the Mfoletoe -Bough j while a rough voice 
r oni tho less interesting sex hints that u Jlunt-tbe-Slipper’* is a most 
delightful sport* tho afy speaker having probably a sweetheart in the 
room, the “ seventeen v aforesaid; ami being anxious to come into such 
clow proximity with her as “ Hunt-tha-Slipperi 7 not only allows, but 
imperatively commands. Another voice, that of a hoy from school, en¬ 
tering upon twelve or thirteen, hints that the exhibition of the Magic 
Lantern would lie the best thing to begin with; and it is derided, after 
some dubiety all round, that the Magic Lantern shall* first of all, dU- 
pl .iv its wonders to the impatient juveniles; that, ff they behave them- 
wlveo* u Snap-Dragon TT ah all come next; that “Boat-the-Slipper ” 
will be a pleasant variety after “ Snap-Dragon; " that after “Snap- 
Dragon” “ Forfeits 11 may be tried; and that the whole festivity may 
wind up with music and the dunce* and ktasea under the Misktoe- 
Bough, to those who are fond of kisses. 

This being agreed to* the next thing fa to 

Put out the light, and ihm— 

tho magic lantern shall display Its marvels and iu mysteries. The 
Jghts are extinguished accordingly; tho magic apparatus in mounted 
and turned to the darkened wall, and little inquisitive boys and girls 
look on with almost breath leas interest. Slid in pleased yet Fearful anti- 
dpalion of the revelations which are to be made. Behold I a mighty 
crocodile flouts unwieldily over the bright space upon the wall. He is 
a lot quite so huge as the Sea-Serpent of Captain MHiuhm* whose exist¬ 
ence has be*ju na logically disproved by Professor Owen, as* Napoleon 
Bonaparte’s was by tho Archbishop of Dublin; but* nevertheless* he 
looks very largo and voracious* and opens his leathern jaws to swallow 
ft remarkable nigger in front of him. Tho nigger has not the presence 
of mind of Mr. Water ton, to jump upon iu back and ride It* He runs 
away; the crocodile pursues; but, act the very moment when ha is 
about to be swallowed up, both pursuer and pursued disappear into 
nothin gness. The figure of a clown* merry as Grimaldi, comes next in 
1 t a lion. He gambols upon the walls* pursued by a personage no less 


tremendous than grim Death himself. The King of Terrors brandishes 
his fatal dart, and grins horribly, in all the majesty of bone, jaw, skull* 
and teeth, with which tho popular imagination has invested him. 
He, too, disappears; but his place b not left vacant, A figure some¬ 
what more graceful ami agreeable succeeds. It is Columbine—fresh, 
agile, and beautiful. At her feet, soliciting her smile, kneels our old 
friend Bottom, the weaver, his aasfa head firmly fixed upon his shoul¬ 
ders. He has followed her from TiUnfa’a bower, to sue for the love that 
has long been promised to that identical Harlequin who comes next* 
kneeling at the feet of Quoen Yletoriiu Titania follows, and dances a 
jig with Richard HI, while Paganini* fiddling with might and 
main* natters in Lady Macbeth and tho King of tho Cannibal Islands 
And, last of all, comes a more coherent story, the whole ad’ 
ventures of Jack tho Giant-Killer ; that hero dear to all 
boy's who have a particle of generosity and imagination in their souls- 
Docs there exist a man who never envied Jack his seven-league boots 
and his invisible coat* and who never laughed at that inimitable trick 
by which he made the gluttonous, false-hearted Welsh giant commit 
suicide? If there do exist such a man, he is like the man who hath no 
music in his soul, and is most assuredly 

Fit for treason* stratagem^ aod spoils. 

Let no such man bo trusted. Ho may possibly make Iris way in the 
world — he may pay his bills when they become due—he may be an 
alderman or a sheriff; be may die and leave money to endow an hos¬ 
pital ; bo may do all the fine things that wealthy men C4li do, but he 
will not be a kindly man; bo will not lead a forlorn hope, or put himself 
out of his way to be of striking and paramount service to anybody i — 
he will not set the Thames cm fire* put his name to a trill to serve hia 
ft-faod, or do anything veiy chivalrous, romantic, foolish, or generous. No. 
The man who did not, when a boy, admire Jack the Giant-Killer, and 
sympathise, at the sum® time, with live woes* and rejoice in the good 
fortune of Jack who climbed the bean-atalk is a hard, dry mail, with no 
poetry iu hia composition; mid dace not deserve to see Jack repro¬ 
duced oven in a magic Lantern. 

But this digression over, turn we to the giant of our lantern, and ba« 
hold him struggling in the pit which Jack has dug for him, and which, 
as we all know, the cunning hero has covered ever with turfs* rushes, 
straw, and loose earth—a flimsy covering upon which the unans- 
peering monster boa no sooner set Ufa foot than dawn he 
goes—deep—deep—deeper—irretrievably deep—to be decapitated at the 
leisure of bis daring conqueror, * Behold how bis jaws open, eapacions 
enough to swallow Jack, boots and all 1 How his hair bristlus on his 
head—each individual hair standing upright, not like the quills on tho 
porcupine* but tall as a pine-true of the forest. See how hfa wyes glare

bright copper colour through the dense spoon-meat of a metropolitan 
fog in the month of November 1 For the benefit of this particular ex¬ 
hibition of his prowess. Jack ban doffed his mvisthfecaat, that he may bo 
seen of all the world ; and baa donned his seven-league feoofo* that be 
may scamper faster than the wind; over UHL, over dale, over bog, over 
brake, over river anil lake, and pirn ever a whole city at one bourn! 1

man. 

Jack 1 * adventures. It may not be known to all rcadere, are founded 
upon tho old Norao mythology; Jack himself being a personage no less 
mighty and remarkable than Thor, the godfather of our English 
Thursday. * Thor* the thunder God* 5 ' says Mr. Carlile, ' 4 Uoa been 
changed Into Jack the Giant-Killer of our nurseries, with his miraculous 
shoes of swifi nee?, coat of darkness* and sword of sharpness.” Mr, Car- 
life says truly. “ They ore one and the same, with this difference iu 
their adventures, that Thor, god aa be was, did not always succeed 
in. his undertakings, or in his warfare against the giants; while 
Jack, the friend of our boyhood* is invariably successful. And, on 
closing the magic lantern for tho night, having seen the InBt of Jack 
Slid the giants* It may bo an agreeable variety in the arauaemaiits to 
hear another stoiy of Jack's* or Thor's failures, recorded from the Norao 
Mythology, in the quaint language of our good friend* Mr. Carlile, who, 
among the other heroes deified in his book on ** Hero-worobip,” speaks 
with much unction of Jack, under his more grandiloquent name of Thor. 

"After various adventures/* W 3 "Thor, accompanied by 
Thfelfi and Luke, bis servants, entered upon Gioatland, and wandered 
over plains, wild uncultivated places, among stones and trees. At 
nightfall ihey noticed a house ; and, as the door, which indeed 
formed one whole side of the house, was open, they entered. It was a 
simple habitation—one large hall, altogether empty* They stayed

His companions within ran hither and, thither in their terror, seeking

enormous, bnt peaceable, giant—the giant Skrymir, who fey peaceably

his suspicions, did not like tho ways of Skryurir, and determined at

blow than before; but Lhe giant only murmured* * Was that a grain of 
sand!* Thor’s third stroke was with both his hands (the 4 knuckles 
white/ I suppose), and nee mod to cut deep into Skrjmlr’s visage; but 
ho merely checked his buore, and remarked, J There must be sparrows 
roosting Ju this tree, I think ; what is that they have dropped?* At 
the gate of Utgard—a place so high* that you had to strain your neck 
bending bjuk to see the top of it—Skryoiir went his way. Thor and 
hia companions were admitted ; invited to tako shore m the games 
going on* To Th or, for hia part, they handed a drinking-horn ; it 
was a common feat, they told him, to drink this dry at one draught- 
Long and fiercely, throe times over, Thor drank, but made hardly 
any impression. He was ft weak child* they told him; could he lift 
that cat he enw there? Small as the feat seemed, Thor, with Iris

to Thor—* You are beaten* then j yet, be not so much ashamed: there 
waa deception of appearance in it. That horn you tried to drink was 
the sob; you did make it ebb : but who could drink that, the bot¬ 
tom leas? Tho cat you would have lifted—why, that is tho Midgard 
Snake, the Great World Serpent—which, tail iu mouth, glrfio and keeps 
up the whole created world* Had you tom that up, the world must 
have rushed to ruin. As for tho old woman, she was Time, Old Age,

say old critics, the old chaotic rocky earth in person, and that glove 
house waa some earth cavern! But Skrymir had vanished, Utgard, 
with its sky-high gates, when Thor raised his hammer to smite them, 
had gone to air, only tho giant’s voice was heard mocking: < Better 
come no more to Jotunheim l 1 ”

THE OLD YEAR/S REMONSTRANCE* 

BY CHARLES HACKAY* 

The Old Year lay on his death-bed lonu, 

And ere ho died ha spoke to me. 

Low and solemn in under tone, 

Mournfully* reproachfully. 

Tho fading eyes m life snow-white head 
Shone bright the while their lids beneath; 

These were the words the Old Year said— 

I abaft never forget them while I breathe 

4i Did you not promise* when I waa bora”^— 

Sadly hs spoke, and not in ire— 

" To treat me kindly—not to score— 

And to pay the debt you owed my sire? 

Did you not Vow, with an earnest heart* 

Tour uuconsidered hours to hive? 

And to throw no day iu waste away. 

Of my three hundred sixty-five ? 

u Did you not swear to your secret self* 

Before my beard was a second old, 

That whatever you'd done to tay fathers gone, 

You’d prize my minutes more Gum gold? 

Did you not own, with a keen regret, 

That the past was a time of waste and si a ? 

But that with me, untainted yet. 

Wisdom and duty should begin? 

“Didyou not oft tho vow renew 
That never with tne should folly dwell? 

That, however Fate might deal with you. 

You'd prize me much* and use me well? 

Tirol never a deed of scorn or wrath, 

Or thought unjust of your follow men. 

Should, while I lived, obsuro your path* 

Or enter iu your heart again? 

u Did you not fad ? ”—but my tongue is weak 
Your sod shortcomings to recall i 

And the old year sobbed—hs could not apeak— 

He turn’d hia thin face to the wall. 

“ Old Year! Old Yearl I have dune you wrong—

THE STREETS AT CHRISTMAS TIME, 

BY THE OLDEST INHABITANT* 

WITH ILLUSTRATIONS BY HARVEY AND FOSTER. 

Old Father Christmas is a great receiver of good*. Our Artist has 
depicted him on hi a throne, receiving the offerings of Ilia subjects. 
Droves of oxen, of sheep, and of pigs; fioclts of geeaa and turkeys ; 
men and carta laden with all descriptions of gams in season j carts of 
Mi; baskets of fruits anti vegetables; barrels of ale and wine—all are 
proceeding to the feet of the King of Good Cheer, Boys and girls are 
rushing pell mall from school, delighted at the prospect of catching a 
glimpse of his jolly and kindly face. 

For a few weeks before Christmas the streets of London begin to 
assume a new aspect, Itii not in Eegeut-street, or Oxford-street, or 
the fashionable streets where I men drapers, jewellers, and other traders 
who administer to fashion and to all the wants and adornments of the 
outward man or woman reside, that the change is perceptible. Such 
streets are uniformly cheerful. Such shops are always luxuriant, and 
always display to the greatest possible advantage dm commodities upon 
which their owners thrive. To them all seasons are alike. Christmas 
and Midsummer, Spring or Autumn, sees them equally attractive. The 
jewel lerft shop is splendid of necessity - f the mercer but changes from 
muslins and cottons to silks ami satins, and from these to wool \m tex¬ 
tures and furs, according to the season; but If is in the minor afteete, 
inhabited by dealers in eatables of dl kinds that the approach qf 
Christmas is manifested by outward and visible signs, about which there 
can be no mistake. Regent-street is too proud to show any symptoms 
of rejoicing at Christ mas ; but more homely Tottcnham-court-md puts 
on a new face for the occasion, and docks herself nut with attractions 
never thought of at any other time, Oxford-street would acorn to bs 
too Christmas-like * hut her tributary streets on either side, except 
those sombre and highly-respcc table streets in which them are no ebep^ 
look upon Christmas as an era, and rejoice accordingly. 

The immense increase of population in London has not only led to 
the multiplication of those signs of Christmas, but to a greater compe¬ 
tition among ahop-ke^pers to attract notice. London is not merely a 
city* It may be called a nation. Any one who would wish to cx- j 
amino the maun era and customs of its people could have no better op¬ 
portunity for the purpose than Christmas, It ia to be questioned whe¬ 
ther he could have any so good. Formerly—say thirty or forty years | 
ago-"-ingenuity was not much taxed to tempt the purchasers of good 
tilings. Feople knew it was Chris tin as without being told so by adver¬ 
tisements, and knew where to go for the commodities they required 
to celebrate the festival, without any announcement by placard or hand¬ 
bill ; but year after year, up to the present period, the rivalry of business 
consequent upon the immense number of streets opened up in all quar¬ 
ters, and the establishment or thousands of new shops in almost every 
parish, the old shop-keepers have been gradually compelled to resort to 
something like publicity to preserve their custom. 

Among shops, those of the butchers stand pre-eminent, and give us 
prospects not alone of the good feeding for which December is famous, 
but of the good lighting that we may expect in January and February. 
Old Father Christmas has a capacious stomach ; and the maw of Lou¬ 
don—not easily lilted at any time—becomes all but insatiable towards 
the close of the year. The droves of oxen m the streets—a 
nuisance which has antiquity ia its favour, but nothing else— 
increase in numbers—and in tbo bulk of the aid mats that form them. 
The future dinners, as well oa the future candles of the million, wend 
their way to SmithlclcJi in all but countless multi hides. The butchers 
shops soon give evidence of the new demand that is certain to spring up. 
Beef rises twenty per cent in value, and mutton st a somewhat smaller 
ratio, as scon as the carcases cf prize animals are displayed in the 
great thorough fares of the people. Prince Albert's oxen, and the Karl 
of Leicester's sheep, or other animals bred by celebrated agriculturists, 
are exhibited—tbo oxen in portions, and the ah os p whole, with labels upon 
them, pointing out to the admiring crowds that gather around the shops, 
the place where, and the owner by whom they were fed, as well as the 
amount of prize they obtained. In many instances the carcases arc 
adorned with ribbons, or wreaths, and in almost all cases with sprigs of 
holly. It is a glorious time for the butchers of London. There is a 
vastly increased supply, and there is a vastly increased demand; and 
these tradesmen contrive, upon what principle is fi a mystery of Lon¬ 
don 1 * never thoroughly explained, to make an extra profit of both dr- 
cum stances. Suet which, in those quiet and ordinary time^ when 

suet is neither abundant nor scarce, fetches 8d* a pound rises to a shil¬ 
ling, when oil the world is bout upon making plum-pudding. Happy, 
sometimes, is the housewife that can obtain it even at that price. 
But it is not only in meat—there ia, in fact, a general rise in the price 
of all agricultural produce at this time. 3Jutter, for which it 
cannot be supposed there is any extra demand, or any dimi- 
minftlied supply at Christmas, is an instance of it. The price 
is inereited by twopence or threepence a pound, as every house¬ 
keeper koows^although she may not be able to account for it on 
any known principles either of political or domestic economy* The 
reason may be that the buttermnn, haring to pay m extra sum to the 
butcher, takes it out of the pockets of the public. "The butcher, too, may 1 
plead chat be bos to pay extra to the agriculturist for the flesh that Lon¬ 
doners toil! consume; so that the farmer and grazier, after all, may be i 
the grant recipients of the profits or the plunder of Christmas, Beef 
eating London must submit, even although it grumble. The infliction, 
it in to be feared, is wholly irremediable. 

Next to thQ butchers* shops, the porkmenft, the poulterer's, and the 
dealers in game are the most crowded with the future good cheer of the 
Loudon nation, If the streets of the metropolis give unpleasant evi¬ 
dence of the living beef and mutton that are to bo offered up at the 
shrine of old F attar Christmas, they give evidence equally strong, and 
a vast deal more pleasant, of the old gentleman’s capabilities in the way 
of game and poultry. The porkmen may be passed over; they share the 
good fortune of Christmas like their neighbours But the dealers in 
domestic poultry, and in game of all descriptions, reap a more abundant 
harvest; and offer more tempting inducements for the expenditure 
of the million, Tbo family that never taste game or poultry at any 
other period of the year indulge themselves in it at Christmas, and 
chickens, geese, and turkeys, dead and alive, ere despatched to the me¬ 
tropolis to help in the honours of Christmas, in numbers commensurate 
with tbo magnitude of the dty and the joviality of the occasion. White I 


poultry, which Is bought, has its thousands and tens of thousands of 
purchasers—game, which ia given away, has also it thousands and tens 
of thousands of grateful recipients. Bleast-d Is the London family that 
has friends in the country. Blessed at Christmas time ia he who has a 
relative or friend who loves sport, and who, knowing bow to enjoy hfe 
sport, knows quite as well how to cultivate friendship, and render re¬ 
lationship agreeable. To him comes the welcome present from the 
fields, the moors, or the mountains; and for him the railways bear the 
welcome gifts from all quarters of the land. This large portion of the 
Christmas consumption of the metropolis does not grace the shops- H 
ia only to bo seen in its transit from the railway station to the houses of 
the grateful recipients; but a portion equally large limla its way to the 
dealers. In the days of stage and mail-coaches. It was a pleasant 
sight to «eo how picturesquely they were loaded; but the railway 
which does more buaiueaa, does it without a tithe of the display. All 
game is not given away; would it were; but a goodly share of it be¬ 
comes merchandise, and ia sat forth with tempfjug beauty in the ahop. 
The butdrera* shops may he disgusting, qnff the qre'$p to all who think 
upon the subject (which, however, thu mujofify of man mid woman* 
kind do not) j but the ehqp of the dealer in gepm cqpifqt bu considered

But fur more attractive than those of the gmmi-deal era are the shops of the 
grocers. The grocers Ipqk upon Christinas as their peculiar time, and 
i they take all due pains to sot $heflwqjye$ forth in fhejjp fairest trim. 
Neither do they take such advantage of the <foy as the tfealera In heme 
agricultural produce. The grocers provide large and fhqudaiB stores of 
raisins, currants* spicei, and preserve^ {Yulis, and pqt \io additional price 
upon them. On ftfo contrary, they often mk less (hr theft wares than 
at other sessona^a pftec of gooff geueralafop on tMr parts, which qur 
friends the flesh-dealer might iqntato wjfh advoniago to themselves m 
well as to the public. Tliq grocers arc pot greedy. T-hey encourage the 
manufacture of pudding. Theft pleasant mid wholesome ahops, which 
meet the eye in iff l our great thorough fores, are shrines to which the 
devotees of Christmas pay a willing yftlt. Many art their devices tqate 
tract notice. Sometimes a flag ft afapfoyed from the flrst-lfeor windows, 
or the whole front of this ^nat ft btplastered with placards, announcing 
Uie arrival of milltena of pfsumft pf currants aud rafting allfor the use 
of the pudding-loving people* and to be obtained within at prices defy¬ 
ing competition. One placard, exhibited this year by a grocer, is m the 
form of a play-bill, announcing the production of a new pantomime, to 
ba called a Harlequin Pud; or, the Magic Pudding” .Thtaft pqtin¬ 
tended as a political sneer at a great statesman, though at first glance it 
would sectn suggestive of such an idea. It is simply a social and domestic 
affai r to attract customers. Sometimes tli e grocer gives his custom era the 
additional attractions of a pictorial pudding in his window, with the figure 
of a sturdy John Bull, surrounded by his family, cutting into the dainty. 
His face is redolent of good humour, and a scroll issuing from his mouth 
informs all men (sometimes in a couplet of choice doggerel) that the 
plums and spices of which that pudding was compounded were bought at 
Mr. Snoaks'e or Hr. Jones's, or whatever the name may be of the ai- 
terprfthig trader- Yery often, a long string of rhymes, almost as good 
as those remarkable lyrics with which Mr. Moses and his poets amuse 
the public, ft printed in large type, and affixed to the grocer's door-post, 
that all wkQ run may real. Indeed, of late years, the majority of 
grocers in crowded streets think it necessary to become poetical 
“ There’s a good time coming, boys, 11 says one effusion of the kind which 
has this year made its appearance. “ There** a good time coming— 
Ilaftins will bo cheap nt Kobinson's P while a rival grocer, on the other 
side of the way, has pul up a placard with the more delightful announce¬ 
ment, fi The good rime has come, boys—Raisins are cheap at Smith** 1** 
The grocers, and the keepers of those compound establishments—half 
grocers and half Italian warehouses^have of lata years very much in¬ 
creased thier trade by large importations of preserved fruits. The English, 
as a people, do not excel in thft manufacture; hut tho French and Italians, 
who have long been famous for it, improve in it every year. Tbo Eng¬ 
lish demand that has arisen, and which this Christmas seems to be 
greater than ever it was, will doubtless give a further impetus to theft 
ingenuity. It ia worth while to spend a few hours in the shop of a large 
importer of those elegant artidcs^Djt merely for the sake of the fruits 
themselves, crystallised and uncrystallised, but far a sight of tho boxes in 
which they are packed. The French prints used for the purpose havo long 
been celebrated for their beauty and fancy; and tho boxes hi which 
plums, and those delicious little oranges known as “Chinoft” are 
packed* are worth preserving for their own Bakes, after the fruit has 
been consumed. Some of the larger receptacles are fit to convert into 
work-boxes, after they have served their original intention; and many 
are prepared with a view to such a purpose. In these times it might be 
worth the while of capitalists to devote t.ielr attention to the home ma¬ 
nufacture of these articles, and also to the preservation of fruits. 
Sugar is as cheap in England as in France, mid there is no reason why 
jams and marmalade, good as they arc, should bo the sole products of 
Englfth i nduatry as regards the preservation of fruit. 

The most pleasing, as well as the most common, eympton of Christ¬ 
mas in tho streets, is the holly displayed in shops of every kind 
wherever eatables or drinkables are sold, and which is almost invariably 
to be seen at kitchen windows for a week or two before imd after Christ- 
mas-day* Love in the kitchen could not prosper without the holly ; 
and the policeman, in search of affection, or of cold mutton, would 
think; the kitchen of his 4 * fair friend” unseasonable in its appearance, if 
tho sprigs of dark green, intermingled with the bright red berries, were 
absent from tho window. The Lu>Lly*cart, of which a moat admirable 
representation is given in our engraving, ia also a pleasant sight in the 
streets—either of the outskirts of the metropolis, as represented by the 
artist—or of tho dense heart of the old city. Holly is a great article of 
commerce at Christmas time, and yields a good proiit both to those who 
cultivate it and those who vend it in the streets. Never wis it more in 
request than it is now; never may it bo loss sought altar, os die verdant 
symbol of the loving-kindness of tho season ! 

There ft one other aspect of the streets of Loudon at Christmas, 
which requires notice, the more especially as (lift year it is painfully 
prominent. The public heart being open at Christmas, beggars usually 
venture out, with mure certain hope of our charity than at 
other rimes. Nor ft theft hopo disappointed. To say nothing 
of the carol ringers—* who seem to look upon themselves us privi¬ 
leged for tho flake of the old ftmiijar chant which they musi¬ 
cally or unmusically pour into cur curs, and who, of all ages 
and of both sexes, swarm in every street, in numbers of which mi accu¬ 
rate estimate would convey a somewhat alarming idea of the poverty of 
London—troops of unmusical beggars have made tho ft appearance in 
the streets this year. In numbers surpassing all precedent of experience, 
Ireland has evidently contributed a large portion to this multitude of 
misery'; and the mind is driven to reflect, amid the gaiety and joviality 
of the time, not only upon the pauperism of that unhappy land, but of 


407 


the pauperism Of thft, which is made more wretched by the influx of 
these Interlopers* Tho pauperism of England amounts to one million 
four hundred thousand people. The Irish vagrants that come over to 
take their chance amongst us cannot amount to many less than 
three hundred thousand—and, possibly, they amount to many 
more—forming an aggregate of one million and three quarters. When 
we fancy that this is almost equal to the whole population of Lon¬ 
don, Westminster, Lambeth, Southwark, Finsbury, Maryiabone, tho 
Tower Hamlets, Kensington, Hammersmith, Greenwich, md Woolwich 
—nud when we attempt to realise to our mind how vast a multitude this 
is, and how fearful ft would be If it were all congregated together in 
one place, we gre compelled to ask if there be not some thing 
radically wrong In our dviljnation, which not only permits the 
growth of such a sore m the body politic, but which actually 
favours iu growth. Let the priuda of our great thinkers be directed 
to it. ThS chief difficulty of a lime not fir distant, will be 
the existence and uurintmnance of this immense a ten ding army of po¬ 
verty, If there ever be a time when it ft the duty of individuals to at¬ 
tempt to relieve it, that time ft Christina*. At a period of feasts, when 
the paupers in the Union Workhouses ore embraced in tire forge circle 
of our sympathies, and eared for a little more liberally than usual, fot us 
draw a circle around the circle, aud include within it tho beggars in 
the streets. It may be wrong, as a rule, to encourage street beggars by 
donations of any kind; but Christmas is uu exceptional period; and 
though, possibly, in being charitable to all, we may bo charitable to 
many worth less persons, the good Will and the good Lay Will consecrate 
tire deej. At least, although political theorists may fliaacut—and al¬

?1Y CQUm L4I4BLES. 

WITH ILLU^TBATIONS £Y LEECH. 

w Sohethixu poetical is required about this Engraving—representing 
Londoners fetching homo their Christroas Dinner.' 1 Such was the re¬ 
quest made to us. Poetical? thought we. It is all very well to ask 
fop ppetry^but where la it to come from?—how ft it to be extracted 
from such a. subject us that? Look at that comfortable young man 
for instance, with the soil-satisfied expression upon lift vulgar 
countenance —- he in Ike very middle — and declare, oh! ye 
powers that preside at the birth of all tilings beautiful, 
whiu can be said of such a snob? Yet, why not? Have 
not good, ay, and poetical, articles been written about 
sticks and broomsticks? Are there not flermona ia stones? Havo 
they not been written and preached ? Did not Ji&raiiger, the illus¬ 
trious songster of the French, write bcauii fully about a little salt 
that was overset at table? and did not Bums write ns he anti fully uftmt 
a mouse? and also about a smaller creature, with a name only differing 
from a moused by a single letter? Havti there not foeu poems about 
gross, and flouting straws? is not a grain of aand prolific of ideas to 
the man who has kleoa in lift head? And canuot a man with a full 
mind write well about anything? Not Lhat wo pretend to have a full 
mind, though we do flatter ourselves that it is not Altogether empty. How¬ 
ever that may be—and it ft a delicate end difficult question, which we 
do not intend to go into—ft the subject of the Cliristmas Dinners of tho 
People so very bad, after all? Is it noi, uu the toiffrmy, a very good 
subject? Gn looking at tho Engraving again, behold the poetry stares 
us in the face. If wu seek it, we ffnd it. If we are determined to he 
pleased, how easily we can become no. it ft not every day in tire week 
or year that the poor c an dine; and however vulgar may be the snob 
that arrays himself in hft best on Christ mas Day and brings 
home lift dinner steaming hot from tho convenient shop of liusk, the 
taker, it would be both churlish and snobbish in us, or any one else, to

THE CHRISTMAS TREE AT WINDSOR 
CASTLli. 

Tiie Christmas Tree represented in the above Engraving is that which 
ia annually prepared by her Majesty's command for the Koval children. 
Similar trees are arranged in other apartments of the Castle for her 
Majesty, his Koval Highness Prince Albert, her Royal Highness the 
Duchess of Kent, and the Royal household The tree employed for ibis 
festive purpose fr a young fir about eight feet high, and has 
six tiers of branches. On each tier, or branch, are arranged 
a dozen wax tapers. Pendent from the branches are elegant 
trays, baskets, fomfonsnlra, and other receptacles lor sweetmeats, 
of the most varied and expensive kind ; and of nil forms, 
colours, and degrees of beauty. Fancy cakes, gilt gingerbread 
and eggs filled with sweetmeats, are also suspended by variously-coloured 
ribbons from the branches. The tree, which stands upon a table Covered 
with white damask, is supported at the root by piles of sweets of a larger 
kind, and by toys nne dolls of all descriptions, suited to the youthfu 
fancy, and to the several ages of the interesting scions af Royalty for 
whoso gratification they are displayed. The name of tack recipient ia 
affixed to the doll, bonbon, or other present intended for it, so that no 
difference of opinion in the choice of dainties may arias to disturb tho 
equanimity of the itluatriou* juveniles. On the summit of the tree 
stands the small figure of an angel, with on 1st retched winga, holding in 
each hands wreath. Those trees am objects of much interest to all 
viaitorH at the Castle, from Christmas Eve, when they am first 
aet ujs until Twelfth Night, when they are finally removed. 
Daring tins period two trees of similar magnitude and general 
design stand on the sideboard of tho Royal Dining-room, and 
present a brilliant appearance when all the tapera are lighted up> 
among the branches. These trees are not accessible to tbc curiosity of 
the public; but her Majesty's visitors accompany the Queen from room 
to room to inspect them when they are il luminated. Her Majesty's tree is 
furnished by his Royal Highness Print® Albert, whilst that of the Prince 
is furnished according to the taste of her Majesty. The other trees arts 
jointly provided by her Majesty and tire Prince, who plan mid arrange 
tli® gifts ou the table. The trees are constructed and arranged by Mr, 
Mn wdiU, the Queen's confectioner. 


As the exhibition of the Christmas Ties la somewhat mom of a 
German thfin ail English custom, we present oar readers with the 
following sketch by Urn author of * Orion,” which will throw some 
light upon the festive purposes for which they me employed in 
Germany 

A GERMAN CHRISTMAS TREE. 

BY B. EL HORNE. 

The bright-eyed holiday children's * Christmas Tree 11 pmaessea every¬ 
where the same general characteristics of fabulous splendour; hut, oi 
ail these Trees are the product or imagination, their varietieB are in¬ 
finite, and in accordance with the individual mind of the “ growers,’ 1 
and al m with the length of their pockeU We will describe the last of 
these delightfully impossible specimens of the horticultural science, nt 
the ceremony of whose verdant illumination we happened to ho present. 
It was at tha country-house of Dr, Claudius Sbillingkite, of Cologne. 

All the sons, daughters, nephews, and nieces of Dr, Claudius Shilling* 
kite, together with many juvenile friends, down to little boys and girls 
of four and five years old, were assembled in the court'yard of the 
Doctor's house on Christmas* eve, which was white all over with snow. 
In the centre stood a gigantic Man of Snow, which the elder boys 
had been engaged, during the lost three days, in making and 
getting up in an attitude, intended to be of great dignity. 
His dark and expressive eyes were formed of two large coals; a small 
bush covered with icicles made his beard, la his breast was a huge 
bouquet of mutates and red holly‘berries. HnniLm-haiid the children 
all danced about him in a circle, raced round and round him In a joyous 
whirl, and then leaped up and down, and shouted and sang. Every year 
tliuy were indulged with a Weihnachte-f trier (Christmas festival) of the 
most enchanting kind. 

It was now evening; and ns the shades of the eky grew more dusky, 
the elder boys and two of the elder girls gradually slipped away from the 
ineny throng, one by one, mysteriously, and with signs lo each other^ 
and Utile plucking* of frocks and touchings of dhows. Something was 
to bo done in the house which was to overcome all the rest of the 
children with wonder and ecstatic delight 

Now, we Iijivc forgotten to mention, and we hasten to repair the 
omission, that among this merry group of the juvenile members of the 
Shillingkite families and their small friends of various sizes, there wore 
also BevL-ral little rustics, children of peasants who lived on the outskirts 
of Cologne. These peasants were the tenantry of tha Doctor, and sent 
him large quantities of grapes every year from their vineyards to make 
his physio with. Every year their children were invited in this way to 
join the party cm Christmas Eve, and a most wonderful pleasure and 
honour it was felt to he. Among these latter on the present occasion 
we must mention two in especial—Zachary and Jane, the hoy being 
nearly eight years old, and the girl just seven. The little rustics were bro¬ 
ther and sister, both dressed alike in new Prussian peasant blouses of light 
bine, except that Zachary wore a very small leather cap wiLh a peak, 
and Jane had the attempt of a huh-phit behind, not unlike the curl of a 
little pig's tail, and wore ft pretty wreath of small ivy-1 eaves besides. 

And Zachary and Jane were now about to behold a ChR^thas Tjikk 
for the first time in their Uvea I We aboil, therefore, describe everything 
froiu this moment, not exactly aa it woe, but as it appeared to their all* 
wandering and enraptured eyes. 

Lights tl ashed from the aides of the closed window-ciirfaliifl of the 
largest room hi the house I All the children ceased their merriment, 
and cried, u Look I" They quite forgot the Man of Snow; but he, alsoy 
showed signs of excitement, for ix smile of light gleamed across bis pale 
countenance. The children clustered together in a group, looking at 
the lights that glanced from behind the curtains of three largo window* on 


the ground-tioor, tmd tben suddenly, by some secret, yet unanimous 
impulse, they ftll began to lejp up and down, a* though this would 
enable them to see what was behind the mysterious curtains, 

A bell now rang loudly ia tho house* Away flaw all the children, 
pel I* m®U; and Zachary and Jane, being the smallest of those who made 
this delighted rush to the door, were both overturned, and rolled in the 
snow. Seve ral young Sh illlngkites, however, m tan tly turn ed back, and 
helping them up, hurried them along, and into the passage after the 
rest 

11 We are not hurt, and we don't mind/ 1 cried Zachary. 

“And I don't care for a mouthful of snow; do I, Zachary?” said 
little Juno. 

The passage which they entered, and where all were now huddling 
and laughing* and groping about, was quite dark. 

'* Where are we ?—which is tha way ?—where are we going? ” cried 
many voices at the surma time. 

Again the bell rang in the house, while a voice cried “ Auf* 
sritffe/bte/” (quick! quick!) from a room not far distant,to judge 
by the sound. Meanwhile the throng continued to prow onward some¬ 
how or other, led by several children of the family, who of course 
knew the way very well, but pretended to he in aa much doubt and 
confusion an the rest. Suddenly u aide door opened, aod displayed 
another dusky passage with a green star at the further end. Thither¬ 
ward moved all tho little fret in a tramping crowd* though getting 
slower and slower as they approached the green star, which turned out, 
on a closer inspection by two of the oldest and most courageous of the 
children, to be a hole in a dark curtain, with a beautiful piece of coloured 
glass fastened over it. The curtain Was now drawn aside by an invisible 
hand, and n great light burst tlirough, as the children found themselves 
urged onward liy a strong pressure from the crowd behind into the 
very room where a blu&a of Illumination told them that the Christmas 
Tree was placed. Dr. SbilHtigkite himself, attired in a long white robe 
bordered with tvy-Ieavas, a black coni round liis waist, a boar-akin cup 
on hi* head, and wearing a huge pair of spectacles with red glasses, re¬ 
ceived them at the entrance* waving one hand in n most polite yet Im¬ 
portant manner. 

Dazzled and intoxicated with the light and splendour around them, 
tho children all remained in one dose group, little Zachary and Jane 
being placed ia front, and standing band-ln*hand, gazing with bright 
round eyes at the astonishing Christinas spectacle that rose up before 
them at the opposite rod of the room. 

In a vase of enormous size, which seemed lo be made ail of ivory, with 
bands of gold (though, in truth, it. was an old wine barrel covered with 
glazed paper and gold leaf), stood tho stem of a dark fir-tree which 
rose up into n succession of expansive branches, putting out their 
arms in varied lengths, so ns to form the outline of a fine pyramid. But 
tho outline was scarcely visible, Owing to the glancing rays ol light that 
shot from every part. On every brunch stood up a number of bright 
dames, sometimes like the fhuno of a candle* eometiimse like the spark* 
ling of steel or glass, sainetimua like lamps of scarlet and viidet and 
green light, sometimes Like Utile brilliant peeping star*. The number of 
the lights was only equalled by the number of min me fumes dressed in 
while, who floated about in tha nlr all round the Tree, sq iis almost to 
touch it, and of little elves dressed in short jackets, made of the peel ot 
russet apples, who popped in and out of tho openings between the 
bough*, in all directions. 

The children bad remained motionless and brwthleas for some time; 
and then they all said " Oh l”—and began very slowly to approach a few 
steps nearer towards the wonderful Tree. 

But the fairy-land Inhabitants of the boughs and around them 
were only a part of their many charms and treasures. As to 
fruit of an edible kind, the abundance and the variety were alike 
unspeakable. Grapes, both white and red, hung in large hunches be¬ 
side cl li store of dried raisins; and now and then a wind seemed to shake 
the boughs, and down fell ft shower of nuts and sugar-plums of ail sizes, 
shapes, and colours, and rattled about over tho floor, till Zachary and 
Jane, unable to contain themselves any longer, clapped their bunds 
and laughed aloud, in which the whole company immediately joined* 
Dut again the little rustics grew silent, and continued to gaze with 
rapture and a degree of awe at the beautiful Christmas Tree- New 
enchantments and fresh objects of curiosity were discovered every mo¬ 
ment ; so that they grow giddy with the vision of golden oranges and 
silver apples, rings ami bracelets of all sorts of jewel led fashions, and sugar- 
work in all aorta of colours and devices, dangling by invisible threads 
from the same bough; while on the next bough,above,grew small picture- 
books and toys; and on tho next bough, below, sat a row of canary- 
birds and bullfinches, who sang and piped every now and then, and 
danced up and down on their twigs. 

“ Suppose,” said Dr. Shillingkitc, w we should venture to advance 
close to the Christmas Tree I Now tho youngest go foremost Who are 
the youngest ? Several of those have hidden themselves. It must be 
Zachary and Jane, I think. Yes, my small friends, it ia your privilege 
to advance before nil the reat," 

Zachary frit little Jane's hand tremble in his; indeed, it was evident 
that lliey both trembled. 

u Don't be frightened, dear Jane,” said Zachary, in a wijqier, “ The 
good Tree will not set us on fire.” 

“ It Is a great light to go near,” answered Jane, drawing back; “I 
feel ih” 

u Buf if it does burn us,** said Zachary, " it would be with beautiful 
fire. Ilk# the dear God’a heaven, end not hurt, you know, J*ne. IJ 
“ No," said Jane, trembling, “not to hurt aa. u . 

“ Now,” exclaimed Dr. Sh ill I r gkite, “ approach 1 Enjoy, Baron Zaoh tny, 
and you, Princess Jane Roseukohl, enjoy to the utmost the Wcihnitchtx- 
spkte (Yule games). Why do you stand still, Baron Zachary? Do 
you not know that this beautiful Tree, covered all over with brightness, 
and happiness, and the gifts of ail the riches of the four quarters of 
the earth—a Tree whereon no living thing makes war upon another, 
and where fairies, and elves, and canny- b irds, and boll-finches sing to¬ 
gether in harmony—a Tree where Turks of baked dough and currants* 
awl Jews who rejoice in preserved citron frees, and are dressed in 
light yellow robes of fresh lemon *poel, sit under the same tent with 
Christions, aa you see there to Die left, where they ah ait round an egg, 
painted like tho terrestrial globe—do you not know that the nearer 
you approach to the light and tho warmth d this Tree, the more safe 
you ore from all the score hinge of life which may happen In the house, 
ami all ike cold storms which may blow when you are unsheltered in 
the fields; therefore, approach, Zachary and Jane, and fear not." 
t( Aud so we will," said the little fellow. “Come, dear June.” 

Tho two little rticfLk-a now advanced hand in band. On coming closer 
to the Tree they descried between tho lower and broader boughs small 
stages made of straw. On one of these was represented ft fluid in harvest 
time, w ith all the peasants at work with their horses and carte, piling 
up and carrying away the corn. On another stage they saw four Hons 
and four lambs in & green meadow, dancing a quadrille ; their music 
being the singing of goldfinches and nightingales w ho were perched on 
the backs of slumbering hawks and purring cate. A wonderful manu¬ 
factory, full of machines and wheels all at work, idled a third and very 


large space. On another stage they saw a fine soldier in his helmet, 
hut with a muzzle and chain, who was dancing round with a pole in bis 
hands, while a handsome brown bear sat near him, holding the end of 
the chain with one hand and a Christmas pie in the other. On another 
rtflge they saw the waves of the sea, ail moving and glittering; and pre¬ 
sently a ship came bowing and swaying, and gliding on its way till it 
gracefully passed out among the dark green boughs, and a soft music 
was heard for a moment in the distance, as it disappeared. 

“Oh, take me with you 1" cried little Jane, enraptured at the fair 
vision of the ship, not knowing what she said, and holding very 
last by Zachary’s band. 

On another stage was represented a large infirmary or hospital; ^d 
an old green dragon, dressed in a nurse's gown and cap, was very busy 
in attending upon the sick; while a remarkably fine figure of St. George 
was seen in the dispensary, stirring up some medicinal ingredients in a 
mortar—his breast-pinto and helmet being lull of cordials, and his 
stield covered with pill-boxes. 

The youngest but one of Dr. Shillingkite’s daughters called particular 
attention to this. “It is our dear father’s favourite one,” said she. 
“lie furnished us with the figures himself, alL made of corks out of hie 
drawers, and tha cordials and pill-boxes arc all his own.” 

« Hal ha 3 hftl” laughed all the children iu a loud chorus. 

"Do I stand here for this?* 1 ejaculated the Doctor, in a great fluster 
of ofiendod dignity. u Bring Lieflchen before me, that I may give her 
aomething to do her good.” 

But Llesdicn had vanished in the throng, and was nowhere to bo 
found. 

Again attention was called to the stages, and a new one, which had 
hitherto been unobserved, was discovered. It was a scene in a forest, 
where, at a rustic table in front of a pretty wooden hut, sat a Bengal 
tiger, playing chess with a young gentleman, ft student of natural his¬ 
tory. 

There is yet another stage. It is the highest of all, and not very dis- 1 
tjftctly seen; but there it is to a certainty. Upon it there rise Lhe walls 
of a Temple which ia being builh Artists and workmen are all labour¬ 
ing away, and there is a great crowd, also very busy, and doing its 
usual part of looking on, and doubting if the thing iu bund can ever be 
accomplished. 

One more stage—the last-^has hitherto been quite overlooked. It is 
the lowest of all on the Tree, and lies iu a direct Him beneath the stage 
with the Temple. This stage, just discovered by the children, is a very 
dark one, nearly hidden by tho fir*houghs. Two hostile armies are 
arrayed in the back ground, with needle spears ami rcut*eako shields, 
and cannons formed of broken sticks of peppermint pointed black, 
while two Kings, ail made of rich sugar-work, and with bright sceptres 
in their hands, are standi eg in front, ready to order the armies to light 
for a particular sugar-plum. 

This was in direct opposition to all the Doctor had said of tho uni¬ 
versal peace and harmony and love of which the Tree was the illus¬ 
trious emblem. Several of the children remarked this to each other j 
but their attention was again called to the military stage, where a tioy 
trumpeter was almost blowing his oyes out in sounding a charge. Tho 
two Kings advanced towards each other, and raised their dainty sceptres 
to fighL The deadly swords and spears of tho armies were advanced— 
the cannons pointed—when, at this moment, a large comer-stone fell 
from the hands of the workmen above, who were building the Temple, 
and down it went between the two warlike sugar-work Kings, knocking 
them both into red and grey powder. 

A shout, partly of alarm and partly of merriment, burst from the 
children; but this was changed into a more real alarm, with no fun at 
all, when they saw that some of the burning stars of the Tree, and lights, 
and coloured lauipa^ bad set fire to a part of the boughs below. The two 
hostile armies were burnt up to nothing in no time; and even the re¬ 
cords of tho particular sugar*plum for which they were about to fight 
were lost to the page of history in th© general conflagration* 

Noble muHiu now sounded from behind the Tree. Dr. Shiliingkite and 
his two eldest suns, Y'lth Lieschcn and another little girl, exerted them- 
selves successfully In extinguishing the fire, bo that it extended no 
farther among the boughs, with all the prorioua fruits and faDcies- 
Again, tho grand music sounded; and aa it proceeded with Its har* 
monies, the wads of the Temple were seen to rise in the light, higher 
and higher, till crowned with cupolas and screen-work, with statuary 
and spires. 

“ Want to go there F ejaculated little June, with devout eyes. 

** There won't be any more fire to climb up, to hurt the Temple, will 
there ?” asked Zachary, in a most anxious tone. 

« No,” said the Doctor. " Tho fire of that Xnr,E bums nothing that is 
good, or bums it only for its good; so tliat dust and ashes alone are de¬ 
stroyed, while the good life of things remains. As for all these wou- 
dera of lire Tree—its toys, and elves, and ornaments, and fairies— 
these are the Gifts of Christmas Eve—the happy memorials of peace, 
abundance, and universal love. Shura them among yon, my children; 
and in the mode of sharing, remember that ye ‘love one another.’” 


THE HEW YEAB/3 PROMISES. 

BY CHARLES MACKAT, 

The New Year came with a bounding step, 

Jovial, lusty, full of glee; 

While the brazen rhymes of the church-boll chimes. 
Like an eager crowd exultingly, 

Hurried along on the crisp cold sir, 

To herald his birt h to thee and me. 

Hu stood beside us fair and young, 

He laid lifr warm bond upon mine; 

Our hearth glowed bright wii.fr u cheerful light, 

And our eyes lit up with a keener shine, 

As we raised a goblet brimming o'er. 

An d pledged him in the ripe red wine, 

I know not if the merry gneate 
Heai'd tho words that I could hear ; 

If on that morn when he w as bom 
They held communion with the year; 

But this I know, he spoke to me 
Iu low sweet accents;, silver dear:—* 

“ My sire,” quoth he, “is dead and gone; 

Ho served thee ill or served thee well, 

But only did as ha was bid; 

Thou wert the master of hta spell; 

He took his character from thee— 

Most willing and most tractable. 

“ Such is my promise, weigh its worth, 

If thou'lt bo sad, I'll help then sigh; 

If thou wilt play thy life away. 

What friend aboil aid thee more than I? 





















Supplement, 1848.] 


Whatever the colour of thy mind, 

I’ll wear it for my livery. 

“If thouTl he busy, I will toil. 

And aid the work that thou hast planned $ 

If thou Wilt quaff, or jest, or laugh.

If Lhou’ll endeavour to be wise,

“ Ho with me an thou wilt, good friend; 

I’ll be thy slave in time to be,

day has not yet wom out the pleasing epigraph. Few bavo learned! 
with the Hebrew preacher and our own Twickenham poet, to regard the 
mysterious fact of Birth with other than joyous anticipation*. To al¬ 
most all, tho Day of Birth is tho beat of days. We are born—to live; 
and reason—to become wise, Whutl though Death close a certain se¬ 
ries: Birth, in order of time, has precedence. What l though Death 
crown the human with itumortality , ha may not crown wliaL never has 
been bore. The stem Angel’s highest honour is still to be “ gently 
considered v as a now or second birth. By such soft epithets w« would 
bribe the universal despot to smile Upon us. But Birth is, from the 
first, known os a cherub visitant, and causes ua at once to recognise tho 
Divine in the human. Contemplate the now-born child! 

Heaven Hob about us in ow Infancy 1 

Christmas Evel Those now assembled in its celebration even await 
such an Advent, such " a good time coming,” a s tho birth of a man- 
child—such as ensures the completest joy, the fill test gratification to the 
maternal longing. They await it, mystically—representing thus an ima¬ 
gined waiting, on sudi an eve, nearly two thousand years ago. They 
are, in fact, engaged in a kind of drama—and that drama a truly do¬ 
mestic one. In Italy, on tho contrary, they make of such representa¬ 
tions a public affair. They arc enacted in churches, under cathedral 
roofs, before gorgeous altars, with set rituals, by priestly performers, 
accompanied by sublime harmonies, and set-off with new dresses, 
scenery, imd decorations. And so, likewise, it was in England, in tho 
daya of M tho Coventry Mysteries/ 9 But in tba&e we are less vicariously 
inclined. VYo now take our piety homo with no, and aeat ft by the 
family hearth, and expact it to l^eoma identified with the household 
moralities, and realised in the practical charities of daily life—not 
reserved ns a thing exclusively for stats pecetiims and public ceremo¬ 
nials—a show, and nothing hut a show. Those are not the daya of 
sham, but of reellties. Whatsoever k good must now he made com* 
mem ; must be numbered among the private amenities; found in¬ 
volved in the worlds actual business, as its evo^guiding soul, its ever- 
insepamble spirit English piety Is Jess ostentatious, but it bos more of 
the heart. Its Influences are vital, and its fruits looked for in tho per¬ 
sonal conduct and character—fiat elsewhere. 

The domestic drama here enacting is. In its nature, impromptu, 
Each individual doea in It what is pleasing to him or tier. Neverthe¬ 
less, there is a certain tradition observed—that of Kissing under the 
Miniletoe, for example. Such a part, surely, might be soon learned 
—yet are soma youths to bashful as to make it not seldom of diffi¬ 
cult performance. But than this same delicacy of sentiment is on inci¬ 
dent proper to the r6Lsj a flination is got out of it, an effect, Tho bash¬ 
ful must of course be encouraged—nay, knowing what la expected from

easily beast with this strange infirmity. But here your lady will 
be adroit enough to help the gentleman out of hia amiable difficulty ; 
and, by making his part easier for the evening, may make her own the

every parental Brabant iv, however harsh, this will be the creed— 

If sbe confess that rfie was half the wooer,

At such a season, too, the heart may be allowed to spook—for it is at 
such that conventional restraint* are accustomed to be thrown off. It is 
then that the better feelings have license of utterance. Seo that young

nature. Time was, when tho numbers of 4ho people were esteemed 
the riches of the notion—time must be, when tins truth shall again 
rise into tire ascendant, or the world dreams idly of a paradise 
restored.

And let no cynical Mahwtia censure our cheerful jiesa for profanity, To

complete; for the time's felicity is proper to expectation! not fuHUniont. 
It is arrayed in the robes of hope, not of pnaacaaion. It is Christmas 
Eve—not yet Christmas Day, 

But now the Eve has passed, and the nig it tom also passed \ the 
morning has arisen, u with healing on hia wings.” Again, in tlna 
nineteenth coutrny, the world's Saviour is mystically bora, and bia 
birth dramatically celebrated, both in the Boren’s Hull and in the Pea- 
smu’s Cottage, What yratrtVi was merely indicated, shall to-day he 
bountifully expressed. Our forefathers made of this a jovial time— wor¬ 
shipping Bacchus muter a holier name. Sir Taby Belch and Sir An- 
drtruj Ayuwktefc were good fellows and honourable, in the days of Eliza¬ 
beth—ay, and since. In those of Queen Anne, drunkenness was as 
much the vies of the well-born as of the Ill-bred, Thanks tu the edu¬ 
cators uf modern times, we bavo at length been taught the 
gain of temperance, if not the virtue. Haying made the ac¬ 
quaintance of tha Muses, wo now emulate mote retlmd pad 
elegant pleasures. By cultivating our tastes, we have mended our 
inanaere. The child of thu nineteenth century us horn to hotter infiuvnccs 
than wiia the heir uf the Bcvimteonth—the dullest of modern miauls, 
invested thus with a better fortune than welcomed the bny-Shukapeare, 
etyoys advantages unparalleled in history, Every y$Ai> too, odds to the

may they safely be entrusted with the fltewardahip of riches. No man 
will chvj t his neighbour the enjoyment of what he holds for the benefit 
of all. 

Our forefathers in their rndc fashion doubtless aimed at this; and 
the Hospitality of the Hall ut this foalive season is not only a romantic 
fiction, but an historical fact. All wore welcome—all, from Christmas 
Eve to Twelfth Night, were welcome—to good cheer, to right good 
substantial cnmal comforts. Heart and hand went together, and Bounty 
had more than a jnren name to live. She had a real existence, anil 
nature and art were made tributary to her diaritablo behest. Let us, 
however, reflect. More is required now from every man than was than 
expected from any. Tho bountiful motive ia indeed die same ; but the 
method of display Is an improved one. Tho relntionfl of society are 
changed. They are no longer of a merely material character; they 
now respect the mind aa well as the body. Beef mid beer are excellent; 
but education is more excellent. The soul demands instruction m liar 
greatest good; she pants for it us the hart for tho water-brooks, and 
will not bo bulked of her strong desire. Let her drink of it fully and 
freely, without money and without price; and, through the length and 
breadth of the land, let there be public channels dug for the unrestricted 
supply of the healing stream. A little knowledge may or ttifly 
not bo dangerous ; but there h no peril in drinking deep of tire 
Spring, 

Than our fathers tktro were no deeper drinkers—no deeper thinkers 
But the bettor attribute was too ^xdusively confined to a das a Some* 
of that class we would indeed welcome an Old Friends and true Aristo- 
crate—Spenser, Mr Phjjip Sydney, Shakespeare, Bacon, Taylor. Nona 
better understood the significance of Friendship. That old Grecian and 
Reman virtue had not yet suffered the damage which, we fear, it h na 
undergone during the subsequent commercial period. Wo have not 
lately hoard of many Beau moots and Flutditrs. All the iqore hail wo 
tills Christmas time, since it brings hack an old sentiment which can¬ 
not become obsolete without imperilling tire dearest unions. Friends 
who see not—cam mt sen—one another at any other period of the year, 
meet uniformly at tlila Regularly as Christmas comes round—true to 
Ore day—tho same friends dino at the same board—the same in number 
though not in age; utiiess, indofd, the over-moody Death, in certain of 
hia sublime abstract ion*, may have withdrawn from the Ci. natures circle 
some whom Heaven bad previously Invited to its own “ high bnuquet- 
table,” 

And wlret a blessing is this to the humbler classes—to tire peasant 
and the mechanic—to those whose daily subsistence is dependant on 
their daily endeavour—who, according to Wordsworth, " untlaretend 
the wisdom of tba prayer that asks for daily bread.” Necessity, that 
stern mother, hod kept them apart so long, and would, but for this 
yearly custom, separate them for ever. But, now, M Welcome to Qld 
friends l ” 0 welcome i Thank God that again wa thus meet* and 

can congratulate each otherl h (here not happiness in the clasp of 
the hand—in the glance of tho eye? See how parept and diild^-witb

acquaintance of ** fluid long sj tre”—to assure ihoin that they can never 
bo forgot—that they never have been—that they have beau eagerly 
expected—that they are os welcome as over I 

To those capable of this sublime sentiment, what good gift need be 
denied ? And why a liquid not they and their bettors be again friends 
as of yore? Let tire Worker rocogniae the Employer as his oldest and 
best friend; and let tire latter give him good reason to do to. Let 
him not deny to any class that moat precious of all gifU—tire gift of 
Education. Let it not he withheld, in whole or in part, from any. Give to 
all the full opportunity of complete education, and Lire task of government 
would become so easy us almost fo supersede ite dflcnsslty* Tire wheels of 
society would move readily, ao if Instinct with life. The apparatus, kept 
in constant repair, would answer immediately to tho directing hand. 
Already, this is so to a considerable extent in England. Men are now 


411 


more disposed to rely on moral than on physical forces; hail the de¬ 
monstration of the former with peculiar rupture, and condemn the latter 
even though exhibited in ; uppurt of a just cause. What an im¬ 
measurable benefit is here secured ! a benefit calculated to make the pro 
seat Ghrifltmiut signally happy. Henceforth, not only the end, but the

Violence must bo repudiated au on munitigab]o evil—

Qf old th(« quality of gentleness was supposed to bt confined to the 
Family of tho Hall. It ia ao no lunger. If Christ mus in the Hall b now 
marked by more elegance and refinement than w«to known in any pre¬ 
vious century; you shall find, also, that in thu Cottage modern Christmas 
has hia amaniticfl, and that the poor man’s pleasure* have become Loth

The charitable attempts made to ameliorate the social condition of 
the schoolboy by takes rather largo than rich, and other dainties, 
stowed in “the box/ 1 When the Loll days conclude, have* it is true, 
an effect, to a certain extent, in making the separation from homo 
less severe; but the Stage of deglutirion once passed, the sombre 
resumes its empire. The endeavours daily made to improve the 
general comfort of *tbe people,” leads us to hope that the little 
people as well will be looked to. AH the nix points of our juvenile 
Chartists—and we call on the Westminsters, MerdmntaTaijors, St. 
Pauls* Charter-Houses, and Mercers to aid us—arc aB follows:— 
Firstly The total abolition of the cane, block, and impositions ; 
and substitution of unbounded fresh butter for the limited Dorset 
of the present system. - t 

Secondly* The acknowledgment of the usher ns a power only 
subject to the wishes of the scholars. 

Thirdly, Allotments of garden land for sowing mustard and 
cress for supper, and furnishing pebbles to pch the French master 
with as he leaves school. , ‘ 

Fourthly, Lawful resistance to all encroachments upon half-holi¬ 
days and vacations generally ; ftnd also, on the part of the parents, 
to ten slqllings in a quarterly bill for shoe-strings. 

Fifthly, Rationr*I and moral recreations j such ns tnnnng the 
little boys up in iheir bedsteads, or fagging them withm an 
inch of their lives; nutting thistles in the toes of the ushers 
boots before he gets up, or straws in the collar of hts coat when 
out for a walk ; and alluring the cocks and hens of the neighbours 
into the playground, ibrthc purpose of instructing them in face¬ 
tious performances* . _ * _ .! * 

Sixthly* A Red Republic in the School-room, yvuIi leave to erect 
borricodes with forms* stools, desks* and the fonder, whenever 
oppression may call for such demonstrations.

is ensured. __

MONEY MARKET, 

Friday, Five o'Clock.—T he funds have improved to-day. We 
found a shilling in the pocket of an old resuscitated waistcoat, 1 ; and a 
man came to pay us a half-crown that we never expected. Our Stock 
haa been transferred well. This has been effected by reversing its front, 
and bringing the new part—the long ends usually* buttoned under our 
waistcoat—up to the tic. The part worn under the chin, which was 
somewhat ravelled, has been clipped straight with a pair of scissors. 
We do not anticipate an alteration for some time* 

iVe have not invested very profitably in railway*, intending to go to 
Slough, and finding that the Great-Western had stopped their day tickets. 

Shares af all kinds have been buoyant, except ploughshares, which 
continue to duk when put in water. 


LITERARY NOTICE, 

Tins New Tennyson.—T his is a new addition of the works of the 
above popular poet, in which many of his moat famous pieces are adapted 
to the present time. We subjoin an extract:— 

MARIANA AT RAMSGATE. 

(after sue J.IiFT THE MOATED GRANGE.) 

With penny ('hairs the level sands 
VV r cro thickly covered fur and near; 

And two distinct unearthly bauds 
Made dismal music ’neath the pier. 

The people all looked slow and strange, 
Mammas did weGshoed children acold; 
tin flinching were the bather* bold. 

Within the telescopic range. 

She only said, f * I'm very weary, 

Day after day the same;” 

She sad, “ This Ramsgate is so dreary* 
Pra sorry that I came,” 

Her yawns came with the waves at even, 

Her yawns came e'er the rocks were dried ; 
She thought *twns ten when only seven, 

With nought to do but watch the tide. 

After the ceasing of the hands?, 

When gas-lights flickered in the wind, 

She draw aside the window-blind. 

And gazed athwart the Goodwin Sands. 

Sim only a aid, “I J m very weary, 

Day after day the same; ” 

She aaid, “This? Ramsgate is so dreary. 

I’m sorry that I came.” 

And at the library at night 
A man sang songs she knew of yore, 

Or played old dances, polkas higlu; 

And from the room the wearing boro 
Of “numbers one, too, three, and five V* 

Came to her of all life berefE, 

Till all the visitors hud loft. 

One* mor* in lodgings email to stive* 

She only said, “ I’m very weary, 

‘ si Ray after day E he same; M 

’ She said, ‘"This Ramsgate ia so dreary, 
h ptJI Ty that I came.” 


And over when the waves were low, 

And the hush’d winds were sure to fail, 

She saw the yawning jieople go 
For a delusive shilling sail. 

But when the waves were quite at rest, 

And all tho wind had proved a sell, 

The shadows of the party fell 
Upon the still sea’s glassy breast. 

She only said, 41 I’m very weaiy, 

Day after day the same 
She said, “ Thin Ramsgate is so dreary, 
I’m sorry that Lcame. 51 

All day within that seaside tomb 
The |tropic yawn’d, and star’d, and sighMj 
At morning wished that noon was com^ 

And wished at noon for eventide. 

Old novel* cheer’d them when within* 

Old worn-out tune* were played without. 
Old newspapers wore lent about. 

Old square pianos made a din, 

She only stud, “ Fm very weary, 

Dav after day the same;” 

She said, “ This Ramsgate is so dreary, 
I’m sorry that I came.” 

The children digging on the shore, 

Stow people boring, and the sound 
Which lo the donkeys, tired and sore. 

The drivers made, did all confound. 

Her sense ; but most alio suffered pain 
When the appointed time drew near 
To dress imd moon about the pier. 

And stare, mid gape, and yawn again, 

*, Then said ahe, H I am very w eary 
„ Of Sackett 1 *, shrimps, mid sand;’' 

She said, “ I’m off— this Ramsgate dreary 
1 cannot longer stand.” 


* Dk LirjrATioo'lNQUifiENDO.—An interesting investigation took place 
at the Gray’s inn Coffe*-house, on Tuesday, respecting the case of Mr. 
Han well Quirk, who was said to bo incapable of managing his affairs. 

The poor gentleman’s replies were most satisfactory; but the following 
facta were sustained by creditable witnesses:— 

He had once asked 'for beer at a parvenu dinner-party, 

IIo had once follow ed a fire-engine to see where it wan going to. 

Ho had taken a ticket in a Derby Sweep and a Frankfort Lottery* 

| He had bought some wild ducks at the door. 

He had been security for a friend, and had put his name to a hill. 

1 He had taken the alter-dinner assurance of a man, that he should be 
glad to *ea hi in whenever he tailed, fit his word. 

Ho had believed in a Republic. 

Putting all those together, he was found mad. 

Covent-Oauden Theatre was built in lfiG7, one year after the Firo 
of London, bv Mr. William Shakapeare, assisted by* Mr, Congreve, a 
great rocket-maker a$d dramatist, from the designs of Mr. Barry, a 
celebrated equestrian clown* and afterwards an eminent architect, 
Shukspearo lodged, during the building, at Old Humimim’p, as it was 
called, and Mr. Hummum, senior, left many anecdotes of him. He 
was an extraordinary musician, and capital solo performer on tiin 
trombone. He produced several operas, which had great suci$k ; 
amongst which we may mention “ Hamlet, the Moor of Athens,” 
C( Borneo and Cleopatra,” “The Merry Wives of Ton Ice," “Gym beta- 
mi*. 1 ’ “ Tlie Two Gentlemen of Windsor,” and other well-known works. 
Dr. Ben Johnson, who wrote the “ Diction ary,” was a great frwnd of 
Shakspeaie’s, as also was Hamlet* the great jeweller, Covent-Gardcn 
Theatre is situated at the angle formed by the Upton of Regent -street 
and Mile-End road, in the parish of St, Mary’s, Islington, Jn the ad¬ 
join iug Bow -street, country gentlemen are provided with beds, at the 
police quaters, gratuitously, ami under the superintendence of the chief 
magistrate. The right to occupy theae cheap lodgings is held by a 
regular tonare^that of breaking; a lamp or striking a policeman. This 
is a curious instance of the quaintness Of some of otir early institutions, 
an d the laws which replated them .—From the u Stranger's Gtnde to

Y* who have scorn'd each other, 
Or injured friend or brother. 

In thli fhiit fading year; 

Ye who, by word or deed, 

Have made a kind heart bleed. 
Come gather bore. 

Lei ifmi'il against, and ginning, 
Forget their strife's beginning. 
And Join In friendship now; 
Be links no longer broken, 

He sweet forgiveness spoken 
Under this HoJAy-bough- 


Ye who have loved other, 

Slater and friend and brother! 

In this fast fading year; 
Mother and *ire and child, 
Young man and maiden mild, 
Come gather herdi 
And let your hearts grow 1 fonder, 
As Memory shall ponder 
Each past unbroken vow; 

Old loves and younger wooing 
Are sweet iu the renewing 
Under the Holly-bough 






Ye who have nourish'd sadness, 
Estranged from hope and gladness 
in this feat fading yew; 

Ye with e'erhurden'd mind, 

Made alien* from your kind, 

Come gather here. 

Let not tho useless sorrow 
pursue you night und morrow; 

Jf c + er you hoped, hope flow— 
Xako h-jart, un cloud your faces, 
And join In our embraces 
Under the Holly-bough,
