Hinto-womutir received a severe shock in this country some years ago, when the gravy flare of the King of Scrip spluttered out. There are symptoms of its revival, however, in these days of cheap funeral honours and ready-made wholesale mourning. We have learnt to choose our heroes a little more judiciously and more safely. A moral post-mortem examination discovers to the public gaze a head and heart without a flaw, and an immense reserve of secret and now silent virtues. This sort of hero-worship begins and ends with a flourish of cracked trumpets over an open grave. Presently the remains of the model English public man are left to take care of themselves, and beneficent forgetfulness "grows over them like " grass." The fate of genius and true worth, neglected or misunderstood while living, loaded with fulsome praises after death, is a trivial and universal commonplace. It may be doubted whether the moral sense of mankind is the worse for knowing nothing of its greatest men. But there can be no doubt that the moral sense of • nation is not at all the better for knowing too much of its men who had not a particle of greatness in their natures, or their lives. "Speak well of the " dead if you speak at all," is one of those sorry and silly sayings which no one cares to dispute, though it is truth, sot flattery, that we owe to the memory of the clout who are worth remembering. But why, out of the multitude of good, rich, may, prosperous, busy men, good fathers, good husbands, good friends, good dinner-givers, who have done nothing worth remembering, pick one of the cleverest and richest, and set up an image of gold and braes in the market-place, for the admir ing contemplation of the English youth f Why say anything about a man of whom not one of his countrymen in a thousand knew anything good or bad t Why the infliction upon the world of a I political undertaker's convivial grief Ergo ease Dame sodalis Ntagears es? Ueda mihi tam fortem tereque Malan? Spine whin& : et xi psalm Wee, illeuhrymare. If, indeed, the character of a nation or of an epochl is to be judged from the obituary notices which reflect its ideal of public virtue, we cannot envy the reputation which history will bestow upon the " remains "of what was once the Liberal party in this country. And it is of some importance to those who aspire to belong to the Liberal party of the future to let the dead bury their deed, and to protest, at least by absence from the ceremony, against the apotheosis of Radicals of fifty years ago, long destitute alike of colour and of flavour, and with nothing bat the crust to swear by. The Whip are passing away, and a new gene ration of Reformers is coming on the stages Let us not be ungrateful to the golden prime of Radi cals of fifty years ago, but neither let us be dupes. We have only to peep into the House of Lords to see what young Radicals of much less than fifty years standing can become under the training of their elders. We have only to look at the living disciples and followers of the Radicals of fifty years ago, to beware of emulating the funereal pathos of devoted friends of the Family. All England reckoned the death of an Outman, a HAVILOCK, a MACAULAY, a CLmI, as • public loss. Literary gentlemen of the Whig persuasion assure us that the death at eighty of a gentleman who was • Radial in 1818, and a fanatical Conservative convert in 1863, who in 1831 carried the beg for the Whip, and as Patronage Secretary and House of Commons whip managed the "details" tithe great Reform Bill transaction, is also emphatically • public lose. Probably by " the general body of the public," that is by all but some two or three hundred choice spirits, the loss of the unknown will not be very severely felt. Doubtless it is advantageous and instructive to young men to tell them how a young clerk in a city counting-house, by his business habits and strict punctuality, and the advantages of a public school education, rose to be a flourishing British merchant ; bow at a ripe age he launched late the troubled sea of politics, taking care to have both wind and tide in his favour; how by a judicious marriage be became an aristocrat ones removed, but as near as possible to the Prime Minister of the period ; bow, thanks to that fortunate oonnetion, he was ap pointed political secretary to the Treasury, and applied all his business habits to the coeval son of doubtful votes ; how great was his " moral " courage " in the conduct of confidential affairs ; bow much greater his disinterestedness when be allowed himself to be persuaded to accept the office of Secretary for War instead of attending to his private business ; how soziows he was not to take office, how glad to resign it, zealous only for the promotion of his young friends whose ambition he had outlived already; how for well nigh forty years he remained content with being the dispassionate adviser of Whig Ministers, with. out sharing their responsibilities ; and how as a member of Parliament, to the day of his death, be continued to resist in the blandest I manner every new measure of Reform, whether for fear that the one great measure of his own public life should be eclipsed, or because he was, like all new aristocrats, afraid of " the mob," His sympathy with Austria in the Italia& war of liberation, his warm interest in the cause of the American slaveholdere, his fearful prophecies of impending rain to the Northern States, are they not written in the columns of that journal in which all public virtue, combined with a judicious hospitality, is sere to find its epitaph f Yet who shall say what would have become of the fame of a " statesman " so disio terested as to retire from public life at the early age of fifty, if he had not added to all the good be did by stealth to hie country and his cause the pri- The ei-King of Portugal, who has for some Uwe two living at the Grand Hoed on the Boulevards at Paris, frequently esohauges visite with the Priam Napoleon and the Primus Clotba.le at Mandan.

On the 20th of July the American ship Wyoming ar rived at Kauagaira from a trip to punish the Dainaio whose vessels and forts fired on the Pem broke. The Wyoming reported that she had blown up the Japanese steamer Sauoefield, silenced nearly all the neighbouring forts, and left the Japanese steamer Laneck in a sinking condition. The Wyoming received twenty shots, and bad five men killed and six wounded, when she deemed it prudent to proceed to Kanagawa. Two thousand Japanese troops were reported to be descending towards the British vessels, but it was not thought that they would attempt to pass within the range of their guns. On July 24 Admiral Jure:, in the British steamer Semiramis, returned to Kanagaws, atid reported having arrived with the Semiramis on the previous Monday in Simonosaki Straits. The British steamer Tancredi received the fire from the Japanese batteries, which, with the forts, were bombarded for about three hours. 153 British troops then lauded, who destroyed the forts, batte ries, and the town, spiked the guns, blew up the powder magazine, and burnt the village.

The principal journals of Belgium and of foreign countries were represented on the occasion, except the Journal de Bruxelles, the catholic organ of Belgium. The gentleman who represented this paper sat between the protestant minister Presseosi and M. Molinari, a free-thinker, at a dinner given two days previously to the members of the press, and for this he was called to account by his employers, which was the cause of his ab sence at the farewell banquet. The toasts pro posed were those of "The King," "The Association," " The foreign members present," which was responded to by M.

The debate which took place in the Austrian par liament on the question of the liberation of the deputy Rogawski, who was arrested fur suspected coziplicity in the Polish insurrection, was of a very interesting character. M. Hern, the Minister of Justice, opposed the motion, but it was finally carried, owing principally to the following remark of IL Brintz :—" This is a case, gentlemen, where we must defend liberty—not theoretical liberty, but practical liberty." THE ITALIAN ARMY.

The &Jck has reason to believe that this worthy, before trying Marshal Forey, offered his services to Juarez, but was rejected.

I may here mention, for the benefit of enterprising English travellers, that to make any such campaign as a looker on seems to be considers,* mistake.

Accordingly, an individual sight-seer is likely to Ind him self either in a very dangerous or a very dull politica, with out having the satisfaction of doing good or harm to any or.

A curious incident occurred at Potsdam, at the time of the visit of the members of the Statistical Con vert. Among the persons who were walking in the gar dens of the Palace of Sens-Sonci, was a Premien officer, who entered into conversation with an English savant The latter, after a time, could not avoid expressing his surprise at finding a Prussian °Sour speak English so well.

He was pat into a cab at Bury, and, as he was being driven into the police-yurd, some one threw • heavy stick at blm through the window of the cab ; the primmer, however, was not hurt. It was fully proved that the woman taken out of the canal was the prisoner's wife, and it was shown that he had a strong motive for taking away her life. The evidence on this point made up gqnits a criminal romance. Mr. Superintaideet Milne, addrssing the beech, said— The prisoner, Luke Charles, is charged with the wilful mur der of his wife by drowning, at Pendleton, in February last. la the first place he should prove that the prisoner's wife was murdered; them that the primmer had strong motives to commit the murder, and had ample opportueities of commit ting it ; and, further, that he took means of avoiding every suspicion, He should prove that the hod, of • women was takes oat of the Headwater, Bottom, and Bury Canal, on the 14th of February last, and that he would show beyond all doubt was the body of the prisoner's wife. A man, named Green, who was passing along the canal bank early in the morning, would stale that he assisted in pulling some articles of woman's attire oat of the canal, which were laid on the bank. Amongst the articles was • night dress, • night up, soda paper containing Id. in copper ; they were all saturated with water. The canal was dragged, and the body of a woman was found near the place where the clothing was discovered, and was fiat taken to the Church Inn, Peedletoo, then to the Eccles Workhouse, end was interred in the cemetery. This body was exhumed on Mon day last, and was identified by the deceased's sister, and a woman from Bury, as the late wife of the prisoner. A female neighbour would state that on the afternoon previous to the diacovery of the body in the canal, she saw the prisoner mad his wife at their hour., and Mrs. Mules was baking. She afterwards met the prisoner's wife is the street, and from what paned between them the neighbour understoood the deceased was going to see a slater living at Pendletoo, and would be back at nine o'clock. The prisoner was seen the same evening in plain clothes, going in the direction of the railway station. The prisoner returned the same night, at nine o'clock, without his wife. On hi s return he ought to have paraded at the police-office, but sent word he was sick. The surgeon to the force was sent to visit him, and the prisoner remained on the sick list from the 13th to the 23rd February. On the 21st February he west over to Pendleton to see his sister-in-law, sad it was • remarkable tact that, from first coming to England, two years previously, until the week after his wife (Beep peered, he had net seen his sister-in.law. At that inter. view hie slater-in-law proposed visiting him and has wife, at Bury, on Simnel Sunday. A day or two before that day, the prisoner wrote to his sister-in-law, advising her not to come to Bury, as he could not make her com fortable, because his wife had gone home to see her mother. That was the first intimation his sister in-law had of the demand's disappearance. The sitter is-law answered the letter, and at a subeequeat inter view insisted upon knowing where her sister was. To her questions the prisoner only replied she was either at Liverpool, or in Wicklow, or at Dublin. The sister-le-law said, 'She's gone away in a troubled maid, and has taken no clothing with her." The prisoner replied, "Oh, yes she has ; she's taken night clothing." He should be able to trace the • er and the deceased on their journey, and should witnesses who would prove that they got out at Clifton. and were seen going on to the canal bank, in the directkin of the place where the body was found. He would show that the prisoner had the armrest motive for committing the murder. At • place called Ems, is Queen's County. Ireland, there was a young woman living armed Ellen Ford. She would tell the beech that she bad knows the prisoner between five and six years. During that time the prisoner had been paying his addresses to her, and os two occasions went over to Ireland for the purpose of marrying her. The first time was in A ugus t, 1862. On that occasion the p ri soner told her that he had come to marry her, but he could not take her back with him then. He should prove that the very day the prisoner left Bary to go to Ireland, his wife (the deceased) came to England, and arrived in Bury on the 24th of August. TM prisoner and Ellen Ford wept to a priest to be married, accompanied by two witnesses. The pried, however, refused to marry them because they had not brought a certificate from the priest in whose pariah Ford had lived. He went over to Ireland again last month, sod on the Bth returned, bringing Ellen Ford with him. He ob tained lodgings for her in Bury in two places, passing her off first u his oonsio, and then as his sister. It was due to the prisoner to state that be did not live with her at either of the please as her husband. This woman left Bury and west to Wennioreland. where she heard of the apprehension of Lake Charles. She was brought back to Bury by the wain. These were the facts of the case that he should have to prove ; and he should at the conclusion of the evidence ask the bench to commit the prisoner for trial on the charge of wilful murder. After a good deal of evidence had been beard the prt~. emu was tally committed for trial on the charge of wilful murder.

PARIS, MONDAY BMW& The Nation announces that the Emperor will probably return to Paris from Biarritz in the course of this week, and that if he does not, M. Drouyn de Lhuys will go to Biarritz to see him. The object of such paragraphs as these is to allay, as far as possible, the effervescence in the public mind on the Polish question. But there is nothing serious in the fact alleged. It is just possible, though I do not think it likely, that the Emperor may have reasons for quitting Biarritz sooner than he had intended ; but assuredly surprise at the roughness of the Russian negative answer is not one of them. The tenor of that answer was perfectly well known long ago, and the text of it will not precipitate so much as the whiff of a cigarette at Biarritz. Emile de Girardin has a delicious reply in the ['rear to the hollow article of the Prance, threaten ing a war by the " three " powers. " If," he says, " a war by France alone would be an heroin folly, a war by three would be precisely the same thing— lees the word heroic. War by one would be a te merity, but war by three is a &liners." The editor of the Prase pays the compliment to his old fellow labourer, M. de Is Gueronnikre, to suppose him absent from Paris when such nonsense is uttered in his journal. Replying to other journals more warlike still than the France, M. Girardin says that the Russian answer, although doubtless a "check," ought not to be construed as an "affront." Otherwise France, which for fourteen years has urged the Pope to grant reforms which be refuses, and for two year' has proffered a mediation to Mr. Lincoln which he will not accept, ought to be at war with Rome and Washington. He protests against sacrificing the flower of the rising generation and saddling the next age with an immense addition to the national debt for any such wars. The present diplomatic defeat may show that K Drouyn de Lhuys has neither been wise nor lucky, and may indicate his retirement, which would be no public calamity. The P ruse admits the considerable difficulty in which the go vernment orators will find themselves when the Corps Legisistif meets to justify the complacent prophecies of M. Billault and K Drouyn de Lhuys, but he relies upon the triad ability of the Emperor to tide over this mishap by frankly owning, as he has done before now with peculiar success, that he wished to do something but "could not." At all events, the Pays must erase from its vocabulary the expression, "The understanding of the three powers." That is an impudent fable, if only for the reason that Austria, as the proprietor of Galicia, cannot make war upon herself. Moreover, Lords Palmerston and Russell have both said distinctly that they will not make war for Poland, and if they were to be turned out they would be succeeded by the tories, who are friends of Russia. GREAT FIRS IN THE 0127.-(PHIS DAY.) During Monday night and this morning CODRi lsrable sonfosion prewailei is the neighbourhood of Alder ontlebury, owiog to the diseoiery of s Ike in s four-story building ' occupied by Mr. T.

Yates and Co., Man chester linen agents. Nothing short of the distrac tion of every building Dear could then be expected. The firemen, however, had the hoes from their several engines so stretched out as to enable the brigade to dis charge the water at five or six points of the blazing pro• party, and by that expedient the water from the steamers was projected into Messrs. Yates' premises, and satin• guished the fire in that establishment just sa it had burred the back window, out. The main body of fire ocer tinned to rage amongst the valuable stock in trade is the whole of the warehouses. The firemen kept to their posts, although exposed to immense danger, and thereby saved the extensive premises of Messrs. Free. man and Co., lithographers, No. 38, Gresbam-etreet, one of the back windows having already been burnt out, so that the whole establishment had a very narrow escape.

(THIS DAY.) (Before the Recorder.) Bridget Merry, 45, was charged with feloniously and fraudulently taking Lad decoying away from its parents a girl under 9 Tsars of age, named Lavinia Baker, with intent to steal its clothes. Mr. Palmer prosecuted and Mr. ftibtoo was counsel for the prisoner. The charge was preferred under • recent statute called the Offences against the Person Act. It appeared that oa the 28th August, • young girl, earned Jam Phipps, w in Lincoln's-inn in the everiang and saw the primmer there with four little children. Bb• saw her give one of them a penny, and afterwards take them acmes to the other side of Liooeheninn. The witness, who knew the children as living at 47, Btanhopeetreet, heard one of the childree say ' This is the way to Clare-market," and the prisoner said, " No, come this way." Wittier went to the chit. dna, and add them not to go with her, and whim they wow not go the prisoner said, " Well, if you won't go, give me tea the limey, and she took the penny from Lotion' Baker, the child to irks she had given it.

The witness, however, knew where the children lived, and took the police. man to their father's, when the primmer w takes to the station and marched, and some halfpence and some sweetmeats were found upon her. At the statue the prisoner said she wee standing against the railings in Lin loofa's-inn when the children came round her and called her names, and she gave them a penny to go away, and whim they would not go she took it away from them. The witness Pelops, in answer to Mr. Bibles, said eks thought the prisoner was under the influence of lima at the time. The constable, however, said he thought she was sober. Mr. Hibton asked his lordship if be thought the evidence amounted to leading or enticing away. His lordship thought it amounted to an enticement from the fact of the penny being given, sod the child was taken across the square. Mr. Ribtoa then addressed the jury, and said that as the witness Phipps had said the primmer was the worse for drink at the time, sad that she had no intent to decoy the childree, but was naturally food of children, he leaked them to be hews that she had given them the peony, sad might have had the sweets in her pocket for the purpose of indulging in her natural kindness for shildren. The Recorder, in snowing 4,remarked that these was great credit due to the young girl for the manner is which she had interfered in preventing the children going any further, and after commenting upon the evidence, said is would be for the jury to say whether or not the prisoner intruded to take them away. The jury found the primmer Nut Guilty. The prisoner was also charged under three other indict. Milts with decoying the other three children. The CMS being entirely similar no evideoce was offered, and the jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. (Before the Common Serjeant.)

The Common Serjeant said that if there bad been any evidence to support the statements he had made, be should have given fell meet to them ; but there was no each evidence.
