The Rte, Axe, and Saddle-bags : and other Lec tures. By WILLIAM H. Mantrxrt. With a Preface, including a Lifo of the Author, by the Rem T. BINNZT. Sampson Low and Co. Mr. Binney has introduced several works of AlDO limn authors to the notice of the English public. They have generally been the productions of pnAby- Wien or congregational ministers. The present 'mays are by a methodist preacher, and contain evi dences of considerable power. We notice them par ticularly. because, in the lectures entitled "The Rifle, Axe, and Saddle-bags," we have an account of a clam of men of whom very little is known in England, bat whose labours were alluded to in a letter from the United States published in the Express a few ' meek' since. We speak of the itinerant methodist preachers, who have been the cause of 'pre= education and enlightenment through the lees regions of the Far West to an extent which could scarcely be credited when we °m older the paucity of their means, the dangers of their undertaking, and the smallness of their recom pense, whether in fame or in anymore tangible pay ment. Mr. Milburn is one of thee preachers hm self, and is well calculated to discourse of the nature of the life led by himself and his brethren. A tow words of his own, addressed to the guests at the Publieheme Festival held at the Crystal Palace, York. in VMS, describe the peculiar emapedess of the ideneent preachers : Weiser Char& omaysral to as smigt I diadem Ist ' ths Misr elergymes peasst idesesul se Ike so= in fog geed sinks Ns Illrg Is ear et Ushilisile and la hamers. sFi ili ssummia_lhom mud els. henposd le empahlre laths WI rgaill in vltose aerobe dimes Ns essmsle et the cash In a sisktsy, the MAU pis et midi elle itself yew terder.

I, Mor row, quitted the at the In the three lectures, • Then, Axe, and Saddle-bags," the author diameses on the three memo which have met the valley of the Mississippi from being the not of savage beasts, and men scarcely lees savage, to an abode of civilisa tion, to the future seat of one of the greatest em pires in the world. The first pioneers went forward like old Daniel Boone, the prairie hunter, with their rifles. They cleared the land of large quantities of game and savages. The next wave of civilisa tion flooded the great valley . with the heroes of the axe. They were mighty hunters, it is true, but they were still more mighty levellers. Down went the giants of the forest before the blows of their axes, and the savage and the beast departed, for there was no cover in a "clear ing." Next_eame the man with the "saddle- bags," of - ... . wham Mr. Milburn may be considered $ type ; *Arnett men, who, with trust in Ood alone, went forth unarmed in the midst of a population amongst which religion, and even civilisation, was fast dying away. This was a population the vast majority of which acknowledged scarcely any laws but their pas sions, scarcely any administrator of laws except Judge Lynch, amongst which even the lowest kind of literature was almost unknown, and from which worship and reverence had almost departed. The only weapons which the pioneers pawned, to enable them to contend with these hordes of lawless ignorant men, were their healthy conseienee,, their religions zeal, and the contents of their saddle-bag!. nese saddle-bags, as we have seen, contained sput um of cheap religions literature, which the pions hawkers disposed of to the customers whom they had excited by their exhortations. For a detailed account of the operations of the three classes of pioneers we mast refer to the hook itself, which to very Brest merits adds that of brevity. It ts right to subjoin that the life of the author prefixed to the essays is full of interest. From the age of five years he has been nearly blind, from the effect of an accident. Enough power, however, re mained in the eye to enable him to read painfully and slowly. This power he has exercised to the utmost, in spite of other difficulties which to many would have appeared insuperable. In spite of duti es almost menial, which occupied him in youth from four in the morning to a late period of the day, lie managed to prepare himself for college . without assistance, and in his twentieth year gamed the summit of his ambition, by being admitted as a tra velling preacher in the Methodist connexion. He was two years afterwards—having suffered, as is recorded, " almost incredible hardships among the cabins of the West "—ordered by the Conforenoo to visit the Eastern and Northern States, to collect funds for various purposes. On his journey he met with the following adventure, which illustrates many of his characteristics. On his jourasy be found himself on board of an Ohio river ilawswr, is which were 300 passengers. From the number of days the rs hod been together, Mr. Milburn bad become wall informed of their character, and ho found most prosalment among the gentlemen were a number of tomboy of Omer on their way to Washington.

So now we have once more the opera season before as, and once more "two Ilichmonds in the field." We heartily with success to both of them, if only on amount of the large number of deserving persons that two mink kw menee establishments must help to gain en honest liveli hood. The chance. of sums. (apart from the superiority of position and locale that atteohce to the magnificent theatre in the Haymarket), we think, are pretty well balanced. The Piocolomini fever is not likely to subside, even though ft may net absolutely increase in intensity. If Mdlle. Sped& bas handsome end clever es a reported, and if Signor Obeid rabies the high standard which hoe been aligned to him, two other fruitful storm of prosperity will have been secured. A first-rate timer Is what Mr. Leedsy has steed in want of ever since Marie left him. In the much talked of now dancer, Mane. Po chini, too, the impresario of her majeitys Theatre would seem to have tuna up a rare trump card. Time will show. Mdlle. Naiad makes bee debut on the first night ; and if aho can manage to eclipse the mommy of Carlotta Grist in the fascinating creation of Effeerelas—for that is the part In which she a gang to solicit the good graces of the English public—she will be a phoenix indeed. Lastly, the hint at a Keenish Dos Gamma conies the heart of connoisseurs to nutter. On this bead much depends upon Signor Benetti, ehcf-troreArstre, and no little upon the "etifferitore," Signor Fontana, who will doubtless "suggest" both histri onically and rase-re.rieeisically. The "novelties" at the Royal Italian Opera have their attraction. also. One new comer alone will excite universal curiosity. We allude to Mdlle. Victoiro Balk youngest daughter of Micheal William Balk, of whose antecedents our readies know enough. Rumour is very eloquent on be half of this yang lady, who bee never trod the beanie be fore. The prestige el her name alone—without taking into consideration her youth, her pommel attractions, and the admirable promise she is said to exhibit—would in cline the public towards her and Invest her dial with special attraction. Mr. Oye bee also another new Parepe—ahmit whom we are told great things, which it is to be hoped may be provid to have truth for their foundation. Then be has strengthened kis ballet, of which Fanny Corito is once more the queen, by the addition of Mdfle. Plunkett, well-known and admired by all amateurs of choregraphic talent. And lately, Ire Damao, adapted by its gifted composer for too Italian stage, with Mario for the brigand, the revival of Morart's too °separable l'isaro, end other quai-novelties in the operatic way, may be cited as strong points in the programme of the Royal Italian Opees. _ The., se we have premised, the chums of succor at the two hours see eery nearly on a par, and three 4 not much likelihood of the public exclaiming, with Meurailki; "A pleguo on both" of them. In vita of the diegolution of parliament, and another impending event of no Ism gravity (which, however, seems to be regarded u lea shoo. lately certain than was anticipated), a mute than average meson is prophesied. All the managers of our Italian Operas have to do, then, is to fulfil the pledges they have given, and reply upon the public for reerading their ester prim and good faith. Next year, when a new Covent paden theatre shall have 'MUM front the ruins of the old, the competiti..n will be oa hirer sad mars equal grounds. Madame Nau has arrived is London for the IMOD. Mdlle.

The members of that well-known histrionic club, the Printer.' Dramatic Society, gave their first performance this maroon et the above theatre on Saturday evening lam, for the benefit of the widow and children of a derws emu pmitor named liny. Thu pieties played were the comedy of Ororthd, The IlunrAhark, and the fart* of Joh* Dobbs. Maas. Walter and Turner, amistad by Misa Mer rell from the Lyceum, carried the first peeve through very saccossfally. Ths Notriehbaek was the next piece, in which the character. of Muter Walter by Mr. Morgan, Sir Thom. Clifford by Mr. Wilson, and Fathom gwittaPort of er, win wry respectably played ; the Jan and Heim being pleasingly givan by Mims Clare Owevemor end Morrell. On the whole, how ever, we haw sees this play done much greeter justice to by thresemliers of this Moiety on a previous omission ; and erS mead the fuse of emend gentlemen to whose histrionic talents we have often had much plesaure in bearing testi mony. Judging from bat Saturday. performance., the gimp drawahq»e of the society is not equal to what we have men it, and requires considashile improvement if tho society is to retain its position. The farco of Joh» Imbh concluded the entertainments et a late hear. The perforimumes seemed to give general satisfaction to a very full house, tho result of which, we hope, will bo equally satinfactory to those for whine benefit the performances were given. The imperial direction of the theatres at Vienna, which recently directed that female dancers were to wearlong loose trousers, has Just rescinded the order, ao, according to the words of the decree, the said garment it " impracticable and anwahstic." The theatre of the Dehtssements Comiques, Paris, has bean taken for a German company under the direction of Y. Frey; they will commence their performance. in about • fortnight. The InWpendance Bel'je says that there have been mom balls and concerts in Parts during Lent this year than ever were known before. It has been remarked that during the nip of 1401110 Philippe the court issued no invitations after Yid•Lent day. But under the now empire, notwith standing all the severe lectures of Father Ventura, the court continues to give splendid partioe, and the 'rand MOM* naturally follows the example. _ CoNvocsTtoN.—The election of proctors to repre sent the clergy in the new convocation of the proviro a of Canterbury will be proosWad with in the course of a few dale.

Jaxvoise coincided with Mr. Dutton u to Lord Palmerston, but defended centralisation, which he contended meant crailiaation. He wee decidedly opposed to the ballot. Mr. JOHN ELLIOT, a conservative, then addressed the deem, asserting that the views expressed that day had proved that the conservative views were the most Mr. J. T. TeCKrn said he wee an advocate fur the ballot; for, having canvaered the borough at different times since 1819, he believed it would be a most essential thing. Work ing men who were employed by conservative masters would testify to this, and he wan gratified that they had two candidates who would vote for an extension of the suffrage, Mr. Dutton having mid he would do as Lord Palmerston did. In the Douse of Commons there would be 440 liberal. to 208 comiorrativirs, and parliament would be sent to the right about soon on a new reform bill. lie advocated a largo ex tension et the suffrage, raking why a man who erected a small mud oottago to the value of 24. a year should be allowed a vote, when tho tenant of 454. a year was nut. The ballot was ewntially required, and ho had seen men marched up to the poll by the great landowners, like a tile of oldie's, to give their voice. lie was sorry that both their caadldatsa were opposed to the ballot. Church rates ought to be swept away, and the country prevented from being continued is • state of fermentation about them. Mr. Serjeant GAMMEN said if Mr. Dutton war not a liberal, he believed WIN to be half a one. He had been halt ing between two opinions, and if the county did nut secure two liberals, they would at learnt secure one and a half. He wars much matiatied with the manner in which Sir JerwAse Clarke Jervoise had spoken, and though he differed from him on the question of the ballot, he was willing to eink that quration, and if they could not get an out-and-out liberal, to get NA good as they could. The vote without the ballot was frequently • delusion and a snare, a noisome and • curse. Thu ballot would mitigate bribery and intimidation, but becatara they could not get it, let them not revert to conser vative mearnires. lie thought they had done well in making the arrangement by which one conservative and one liberal would be returned, especially aa the conservative was inclined to liberal views. fieTD;;;llit rm, having declared Sir J. C. Jervoise and )(r. Dutton duly elected, the proceodinge terminated. EAST SUSSEX. The nomination of two knights of the shire to represent Last Suttees in parliament took place on Saturday forenoon, in front of the County-hall, Lveos. Owing to the unfavourable state of the weather (the rain falling us rapid showers during the whole of the proceedings, which ooeupsed above three Lours) the attendance of spectrums was not very sumer°. , nevertheless, somewhere about 1,200 persons were present from the opening to the close of the nommation. There were four candidates, namely, A. E. Fuller, Esq. (the tato member), Lots! Pevenaey (who had been very rmeutly elected), J. G. Dodson, Req., and Colonel Cavendish. The thou Suritivr (R. C. Pomfret, Esq.) having briefly opened tho business of the day, Sir H. &turn as nominated, and Mr. M. Scum' seconded, A. E. Fuller, MR. 'llllr. 11171181 T =A Kr. Lewis StAawsur. seconded, Lord Pommy. Mr. J. W. BLIXCOWS nominated, and General Davith seconded, J. O. Dodson, The Hon. II :Basso, M.P nominated, and Mr. CRAW romp(Brighton) seconded, Co lonel Cavendish. The respective candidates then addressed the electors, but, owing to the great uproar whieb prevailed during the chief pert of the proceedings, they were very imperfelly heard. Mr. lc Tx.r.N while referring to what had taken phoze re ! costly In the House of Commons, said he had voted against Lord Palmerston on Mr. Cobden's motion, from a hem eon. ‘ietion that ho was honestly discharging his duty to his eon , stituenta and to his country. If again sent to parliament ho should pursue the save straightforward course as he had hitherto pursued in attending to the interests of those whom he wee sent to represent. I.ord PEVENIINT neat addressed the electors at much greater length. He condemned the policy of Lord Palmer • *ton both at home and aimed, and remarked that the noble lord had already add.d 0000,0001. of money to the expendi ture of the country. lie was an advocate for the reform of all abuses, whether foreign or domestic; and should support a reduction of the income tax, together with its entire aboli tion in 1060. Mr. DiensON, in his address, said the conservative party wore utterly unworthy of tho ..wmfidenee of any body of elec tor.. He was in favour of meraures of reform and social impreeement, and would support Lord Palmerston and the flntiah deg. Colonel eAVTKDIRIt, in reply to being called " a 'granger," said he could with delight look bask to a long line of ances tors who had served their country in advocating tuelaures of reform and he should, if returned, walk in their footstep.. He should endeavour to effect every improvement, but would not pledge himself as the adherent either of Lord Palmerston or any other statesman. Mi. JOHN (101111110 said a few words in TOrertlloo to tho relative penile& at But and West Sussex, and certain of a local nature which had occurred, Sir J. 'I•ILLIERA SHELLEY followed, in reply, saying that the liberals were determined to beat the conservatives this time, and rejoicing that "Cobden and the peace-at-any-price party Lad g 4.120 to th e dogs." (Laughter and great uproar.) The lIIG H SUIRRIre then took a show of hands, which was decidedly in favour of Mr. Dodson and Col. Cavendish. A poll was demanded for Mr. Fuller end Lord Pevenrey. The polling is bud for Tuesday morning, and the contest is expected to be • very close one. An Lord Pevenaey was leasing the hustings on attack was made upon him by a number of ruffians, and he was obliged to retreat into the ball. A body of police mme to the rescue; if they had nut done so them was every probability of a riot. AYR BURGHS. The election of a member for the Ayr Burghs, comprising Ayr Irvine, Cam*Mown, Inverary, and Oben took place on Saturday at Ayr. A keen context had been maintained since the issue of the writ by Mr. Craufurd, the late member, and Mr. Boyle, advocate, who tire years ego contented the election with Mr. Crauferd. On Tuesday' night, however, Mr. Boyle, finding his chanrn of success anything but flattering, withdrew bum the routed, and the posit - seeding' of the nomination were comparatively of little interest. Mr. AI.r.[ANIMR OSWALD, of Auchencruive, nominated Mr. Cranford, who was seconded by Bailie Niven, of Irvine. There being no other candidate, The Senate, declared Mr. Craufurd the member for Ayr Burghs. Mr. CUM' ',RD on presenting himrelf was received with loud cheers. After thanking the elector, for this renewed mark of their confidence he entered into a defence of the government of Lord Palmerston, and justified the votes which be had given since he had been returned to parlia ment. He primed himself to be in favour of progressive reform, end appealed to the constituency whether he had violated any pledge he had given when tkeey last did him the honour to send Win to parliament. As bad been his custom be would be ready to meet the electors in autumn, and render an account of his stewardship. FLTNISIIIRE.-012 Stittlnky, at Flint, Mr. T.

Captain Moaner, the chairman of Lord ChoMa's committee, prodded, and the room was densely wooded. Lord Centime, afire commenting at some length on a speech of Lot R. Oresvaaor's at Hounslow, denied that ho had been beaten out of Dover by Yr. Bernal Osborne. He had resigned hie seat before It waslmown that Mr. Osborne was goMg there. He wan a blend conservative, understanding i that phone a As dherent c i t.:Lof t :he m of r the i late Palmerston frt should receive no fictions opposition Gum hie, ; if Lord Pal merston would plume that line of liberal conservative policy which he believed to be conducive to the best Interests of society he should have hie support. In answer to queetione, Lord Cu new, said with respect to the ballot ho might simply refer to his previous votes against it. He could not alter his opinion. Those who were base venal, and unprincipled enough to be bought and sold would and means of doing too whatever method might be adopted to put an end to it. He hoped the attempt to ' carry the vote by ballot would never succeed, sa it would and to destroy all the interest which nine out of ten of the intel ligent voters of England felt in electing their representatives in parliament ; and it was a marvel to him how any men meld be found attempting to cram down the throats of Englishmen a system of voting the very basis of which was hypocrisy. It enabled a mon who voted one way to pretend he bad voted another and thus render hie whole life a con tinual lie. (Hear, hear.) The fact wee, the vote by ballot was nothing but an electioneering clap-trap. He believed that in nine canes out of ten mem:tildes prefeesed to be ',im porters of the ballot became it gave them popularity with the masa, they well knowing at the name time that such a measure would never be the law of the land. Therefore on this point he wee an out and out supporter of Lord Palmer ston, who had bean over and over again opposed to the ballot. As to the extension of t h e frunchier, as liberol-conserva- tire he could ore no reason why he should not support a moderate proposal to lacrosse the class on which the repre sentation al the esgtry should rest. He did not we that any money line anld be drawn, but he thought that a man should be compelled to have such a moral and religious edu cation as to enable him to exercise the franchise in a way most beneficial to himself, as well as hie neighbours. After some further questioning a resolution disapproving of Lord Chelsea's political views was put to the meeting., and a majority of hands held up in in favour. The CIF %IRMA?, refused to give any official derision, and Mr. GRUNF.IREN (secretary of the Conservative Lind Society) moved a reoolation expressive of confidence in Lord Chelsea. When this was pat, but 14 or IS hands were held up, and burtead of putting the enstrary, the chairman and noble lord abruptly quitted the meeting amidst laughter and uproar. After this Mr. Pritchard was called to the clam% and a motion in favour of Lord R. Grosvenor and Mr. Banbury was carried unanimously. LORD CHELSEA AND TILE JEWS. The following letter has been addressed to Lord Chelan, • "My Lord,—l feel that I should apologise for intruding apes your time when I 'mow it to be so fully occupied; yet I find it impossible to refrain from addressing you upon a imbjett of the greatest importance. I have no words suM ciently vivid to express my astonishment at your speech of the let of April. In that speech, delivered at Edmonton, you stated that ' you had never meta Jew who bad not declared that if he had the opportunity of inflicting a serious injury upon the Christian faith, or of preventing its spread, be would fail to do so.' I ion always unwilling, indeed I am quite unable, to doubt the veracity of an English gentleman, and therefore I feel anxious to believe that, in the somewhat bewildering excite ment of electioneering movements, you were unfortu nately betrayed into expressions at variance with well ascertained and universally-acknowledged Licht The Jews never try to make proaelytee. Faithful to their own awed, they do not, either directly or indirectly, endeavour to un dermine the religiou• opinion, of others. Why should they make the attempt ? They are taught to believe that Altuighty God, the fountain of all mercies and of all blessings, judges of human brine ateording to their works, end that the pious and righteous on earth, whatever be their race or faith, may all hope to enter Into the kingdom of heaven. That [hobo who profess the Christian religion should endeavour to make converts I fully understand, and, while I am firmly con vinced that they will not be eucceseful in winning my co religionists from the faith of bond, I candidly confess that 1 honour the motives and appreciate the exertions of zealous . . missionaries. They labour indefatigably to diffuse the tenets of their religion, because they believe that there is no salva tion out of the pale of their own church. The Jews, how ever. can have no motive for wishing to make proselytes; they respect all religions, and are truly convinced that a conscientious obedience to the diclates of the same is not merely compatible with, but pm-eminently productive of the exereiac of the noblest virtuis. "I beg, my lord, to subscribe myialt, in all sincerity, "A JEWESS." INCUMBENCY OF CLERKENW7'.I.L.—At the close of the second day's poll, on Saturday, at three o'clock, the numbers were : (or the Rev.
