Vb. 6&L LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, PEOPLE who dwell in great cities are grossly incapable of understanding what we may be allowed to call the law of storms in local and provincial atmospheres. Of course even in London there are many lesser worlds under the outer crust of • national capital ; such as the municipal world and the parochial world, with their politics, their public men, and their personalities, their struggles and squabbles, their ambitions and intrigues, and their teapot tempests. But in a capital, beneath the great stress and turmoil of acting history, local men and things are mere tributary streamleta to a mighty river, brawling and petulant in holes and corners, but unregarded and insignificant. Not so in numberless county towns, more parti cularly among those ultra-insular populations which are just large enough to be pretentious and small enough to be fussy. Go down to some rising watering-plans, and you will find that the people are thinking neither of Poland nor of Mexico, nor of the American revolution, but of some fierce intestine war in their midst, in which everybody is " cutting" everybody, and the local broadsheet driving a brisk trade in lampoons and }RA; all round. We have been reminded of these indispensable conditions of life in small communities by a Bluebook we have lately received from Guernsey, that charming island which will proba bly some day or other be proud of having sheltered the genius in ezile of the greatest poet and dramatist of France in the 19th century. Our little Bluebook contains the history of a very pretty quarrel between the Bono, of the Island and the Dean, concerning the administration of &Visiting and Tract Society over which the Dean, as Rector of St. Peter's Port, most emphatically presided, and of which the BATLTI7 was Vice-Patron. It will be seen that in this contest between lay and clerical authority some larger principles than any which either of the Guernsey combatants contends for are involved ; and without pretending to encroach upon the domain of the directors of public opinion on the spot, we think our readers will consider the dispute worth a few minutes' attention. We can quite imagine that the high—the very high—indigenous society for which Guernsey is famous, has been not a little stirred by the pnblL cation of this correspondence, and by the circum stances it relates. Bat in truth the case deserves some notice beyond the exclusive--the very ex clusive—circles of the Guernsey aristocracy. At the same time we wish to premise that there le ' nothing in the affair from fint to last that dis credits either side to any serious extent ; and we may congratulate even the reverend gentleman who appears to least advantage in the discomfit% on having kept his temper, and combined a very fair share of shrewdness and fineness with the prudent suavity that becomes his Order. It appears that some sixteen years eines a Visiting and Tract Society was established in Guernsey, with a working committee and a lay treasurer, and was well supported by the public ; but that since the first year of its exis tence the character and constitution of the Society have been gradually changed, and the lay element altogether excluded from its administration. Early in the present year a circumstance occurred which led the Baum of Guernsey, in his capacity of Vice-Patron of the Society, to inquire into the manner in which its affairs were carried on. This circumstance was simply the summarydensimal of a lady district visitor by the Dean, as President of the Society, and Rector of the parish, for having been present at a fancy ball, in a fancy dress. The Bxturr was anxious to ascertain how so strong a measure could have been taken so summarily, and who could have authorised it. And he found, on inquiry, that the Society was being carved on by the Rector alone, without a committee and with out rules. The Dean, as Rector, had absorbed both the spiritual and the temporal powers, and had become to all intents and pur poses "the Society." In the course of a correepon deuce between the Bantry and the Dean, the latter with the most perfect frankness intimated his conviction that a Visiting Society could only be effectually managed under the exclusive direction of the minister of the pariah, without the interposition of patrons and committees ; and that it was not his intention to call together the subscribers nor to make any new rules. Under these circumstances, the Bscurr very naturally concluded that he could no longer remain Vice-Patron of the Society; but before with drawing his name he sent to the Bishop of the diocese his own correspondence with the Dean, and the Dean's with the lady who had had her district taken from her; and he suggested to the Bishop, as the three essentials of such a Society, periodical meetings of the members, rules, and a committee of management. In there sugges tions the Bishop entirely concurred, recommending that theoommitteeshould consist of a certain number of lay members with the clergy as ex-oificio mem bers, and that the distribution of tracts should be separated from the distribution of relief. The Bishop having promised to write to the Dean to this effect, the BAILIFF waited hopefully for a change ; but no change came, and he found out that the Dean in his answer to the Bishop, stating his reasons for wishing to adhere to " the pre " Timis constitution of the Society," had iaai nuated that " motives were at work of another " kind" than those alleged in the Baton's letters ; and thus it was that the Bishop's adios waa stayed. So the BAILIFF, baffled in his endeavours to mend the constitution of the Society, had no alternative but to publish the correspondence, and to appeal to public opinion, as to whether a Society for the visitation and relief of the poor should be ruled and managed by the sole and absolute autho rity of the Rector of the parish,without rules, with out • committee, without meetings of the sub scribers ; and whether a lady visitor should be liable to have her district summarily taken away, becaure she had been present at a fancy ball in a fancy dress. We think we can promise the BAILIFF of Guernsey that among the general English public, whether lay or clerical, there will be very little difference of opinion on either point. Indeed, we observe that the BAILIFF had secured the highest authority on his side by consulting the publications of the Metropolitan Visiting and Relief Associa tion, established "at a meeting held at London " house on the 16th December, 1843, the Lord " Bishop of the Diocese presiding." The object of this Association was declared to be the relief of destitution and the improvement of the condition of the poor by combining religious and moral instruction with the relief of bodily want, and making the latter as it were a preparation for the former, and generally by promoting " kindly " feelings between those classes of society which " are kept so far asunder by the difference of their " worldly condition." The rules of this Associa tion, its modes of operation, and the conditions on which its grants are distributed to local visiting societies, are all framed on the largest and hu manest spirit of Christian charity ; with the ten derest and most scrupulous respect for the feelings of the poor, and without distinction of religious persuasion. The administration of its funds is entrusted to a committee, to meet once • month, and consisting of the clergy, the gratuitous visitors, and such other parishioners, lay or clerical, as may be prevailed upon to co-operate. There can be no doubt that the Vice-Patron of the Guernsey Vigi -1 tation Society was justified in appealing to the rules for the administration sad conduct of the Metropolitan Society, under the immediate cog nisance of the Bishop of LONDON and the Bishop of WINCHIVICE, from the determination of the Rector of St. Peter's Port to dispense with committee, rules, meetings, audits, and laymen (except as subscribers) altogether. As regards the kind and estimable lady who was the innocent Helen of this Guernsey Iliad, the Rector appears to have acted with singular inconsistency. Two ladies —district visitors—had attended a fancy ball, and the fact was brought to the Rector's notice ; yet, as the BAILIFF scripturally expresses it, the one was taken and the other left. One of these ladies was allowed to retain her district. But there is no lack of courtesy in the Rector's letter of remonstrance to the offending ladies. He says it has grieved him to see their names among the company at the late fancy ball, especially in fancy dresses. He must frankly say that "such amusements do not " seem to him suitable for those employed as " spiritual assistants in parochial institutions." " I "desire," he adds, " to be as comprehensive as pos " Bible in my estim►tion of worldly amusements, but " I really do feel that a fancy ball and a dia " trict for spiritual instruction are not concordant " spheres for action." In addressing the two ladies, the Rector pays them • most unexpected compliment "in the words of the Apostle." " I speak unto wise men," writes the Rector to Mrs. Ciiessex and Miss Bucaisr. Certainly, no wise man could have replied with better tact, feeling, and discretion than Mrs. Camsmox to the Rector of St. Peter's Port. We wish we had space to quote a letter which say! all (and says it admi rably) that has to be said on the compatibility of harmless amusements with the daily duty of the Christian life at home and among the poor. In the Dean's reply he assures Mrs. CAMERON that he considers her at perfect liberty to visit the poor and enter into the gaieties of society, but it is her commission from him and in connexion with &so ciety under his direction that constitutes the offence. The Dean forgets that Mrs. Csielmoit had no coin minion from him to dance, " especially in fancy " dress"; and that her attendance at • fancy ball was not in connexion with the Society under his direction. And Mrs. CAMERON might well refer the DIAN to the pastoral letter (of which the BAILLET publishes an extract) from a London clergyman to individual members of his congregaVoe, inviting them to be come district visitors. This latter, which was written at the desire of the Bishop of LONDON, verifies three classes of parishioners who are " likely to respond to &call of this nature." First, Those who who have the whole, or the greatest portion, of their time at their diaposal. Second, Those who, not having so much time at their disposal, are nevertheless able to specify the little they have ; and, Third, Others who, if so minded, might redeem a few hours in the course of the week from the unnecessary engagements, and perhaps follies, of the world, to dedicate them to " a labour which shell not be in vain in the " Loan. " " These observations," adds the clergyman, " app'y equally to male and female " winters." In the present instance it appears that the exemplary lady who, in all humility and sincerity, telieved that " if we can fulfil our daily " duty in our families and visit the poor, we " may also enter into such amusements as our " consciences allow to be harmless," had earned the highest testimony for her devoted services in the most arduous field of duty, among the poorest of the poor.

Large orders have likewise beets received from the provinces to supply the steak of merchandise exhausted, sod to provide for the winter trade. Rarely have packers and chest makers been so actively employed is preparing mer chandise for exportation.

The sale of all articles of fashionable dress has greatly increased, including bonnets, gloves, and light shoes. A great number of the unemployed cotton spinners have found employment in the manufactories of Paris, where a scarcity of bands hes been experienced. The demand for articles de Paris was never more brisk than at present for Belgium, Holland, Germany, and Italy. The trade Is all descriptions of gilt bronzes continues to be prosperous.

DRAMA. ROYALTY. Mrs,. Selby gave convincing proofs of her spirit, judgment, and determination lest night, by producing a new classical extravaganza, called hicra, or Me Man at the Wheel, from the pen of Mr. C. F. Buroand, in a style that would not have disgraced the old Vestris management at the Olympic. Everything that rich aceoery, stage ma. obinery, gorgeous dreams, and a large and promising nom. pany could do for a burlesque was doge last eight for Mr. Burosod's work, and it is gratifying to record that all this labour and capital have not been thrown away on a worthiest piece of literary trifling. The dialogue is as polished and witty am anything Mr. PlanchZ:, the father of modern burlesque, ever wrote, and the " buainess" is arranged with a good eye for stage effect and a keen sense of the ludicrous. Humorous simplicity at the same time has not been siscritioed to attain mere verbal brilliancy, and most of the operatic parodies are triumphs of sterling fun working with very slight mate. dais. Two vocal fantasias, on "Let dogs delight to bark and bite," and the colloquial phrase, " Did you ever? No, I never," may be specially mentioned for their humour and effectivesese. The fable of " even when treated with burlesque license, is not perhaps the most interesting subject which a comic writer could choose, but it gives an opportunity of introducing most of the "heathen gods and goddesses" in gay and airy dresses. It also furnishes teeny pictures of Olympus—is favourite region of the scene painter—sad bears essay any quantity of ballet dancing. In most burlesques the ingenious authors are sadly put to it to introduce this last indispensable dish—the incidental "divertissement," but " Rion" might be all ballet without destroying the story. Mr. Burnam' has use as mach as be puma* could to invest his characters with a kronen ill tenet, and if he has not always succeeded in this, he has never allowed them to be tiresome. The divorce of Woe sad Queen Die., the loves of Won and Juno, the rage of Jupiter, sod the punishment of the ruh mortal, are all told with that brevity which is held to be the soul of wit. A piece of dap-trap writing, however, abut ssasatioael gym. ratios may be struck out with decided advantage. The acting of the burlesque, as bar as the principal chaise. tars were concerned, war highly satisfactory. The part of aim, one of those short-pettico►ted curly-beaded boye who are the guardian angels of extravaganza, was entrusted to Miss Jenny Wilmore, and she played it throughout with great spirit. Her accomplishments as a singer sod dancer were fully drawn upon, and were sot found wanting. Mr. D. James, a very useful and excellent actor, appeared as Mercury, sod was equally satisfactory as a singer and &Doer, Mr. Felix Rogers, and Mr. Joseph Robins, the low comedians of the company, played Minerva and Ganymede with muck humour—the former in a dry and subdued style, which was free from all vulgarity. Miai Rosins Wright, se Terpsi chore, danced with all her well-known grace and finish, sad Mrs. Selby came on in the small parts of Queen Die mid Melpomene merely, we presume, to see that her company were in their places. Thirty or forty ladies sad gentlemen are engaged fa the piece, and they doubtlan require a little looking after. The swoon of this extravaganza was peat sod unques tionable. Every scene had a soog or dance in it which was encored, sod at the sod of the lota, Mr. Banned was called ow, and after biro Mrs. Selby. A word of praise is dee to Mr. Herman for the arrangement of the musk, and to Messrs. Cuthbert sod Day's for the scenery. The holm wax crowded in emery part with an excellent audience. THE NEW PRESTIDIGITATOR AT THE PRINCZSVS. Since Katerfelto, "with his hair on end," was mortalieed by Cowper, so many great conjurors have startled London, that a sew professor of the art might expect to and his task no may one. Herr Herrmann, the gentleman who made his appearance at this theatre last night with the find of what be calls " Eveniep of Prestidigitation," has, how ever. convinced his audience that even Dobler, Philippe, Robin, and Frikell have left something for a suocanor to achieve. The tricks of Herr Herrmann's programme belong chiefly to that class which require no aid from posderous machinery or elaborately prepared apparatus. A clear siege, a ample of simple small round tables, and a shorted& an almost the sole implements of his art. Is short, sleight of hand, carried to almost miraculous peatio• tire, is the characteriete of his performance. His Wake generally resemble those of his more remelt predemmor s but the dexterity and rapidity of his " manes" are equal to, if indeed they do not surplus, anything which has how sego of the kind. The performance was entirely sucemsfal ; and the Seale, is which the new profeseor of magic, step ping a little out of the limits of his art, gave a series of imitations, with his mouth, of the songs of birds, brought down a burst of applause from an enthusiastic audience. THE DISCIPLINE AND MANAGEMENT OP MILITARY PitLOTv.i This morning was issued a report by Mr. G. V. R. Dauber on the discipline sad management of the maitery prisons in 1862. The number of such prisons in operation is 19, of which 10 are in the United Kingdom and 9at different foreign stations, the whole being capable of emu. modeling about 1,800 prisoners. It is satisfactory to Isere that crime in the army has not been on the intrigue during the year. There has been a considerable decree's in the number of convictions and of cues of desertiu. Absence without leave, drunkenness, and desertioe, age the pre veiling crimes leading to re-committals. Druakesiness is apparently the meet fertile source of military crime, and the number of committals for this offence has increased in each year. The,bealth of the prisoners was satisfactory, sod the adoption of an improved scale of diet has con siderably diminished the average toss of weight. The pro- portion of numbers treated for sicklier to the total numbers in confinement in 1854 wan nearly 21 per cent., whereas in 1861 sad 1862 it warn about 12 per cent. Of the 863 prisoners treated in the prisons at bocce during 1862, the greater part were not even placed in the sick ward ; they were prisoners who came forward with alight same:de, for which the medical officer treated them without relieving them from the ordinary labour of the per• la 1843 the number of soldiers imprisoned at any one time under sentence by court. martial. in civil prisons, ex clusive of those who might be in confinement by order of commanding oaken, was in the ratio of 20 in 1,000, and at the same time the number of corporal punishments amounted to annually about 5 - 2, making 25/ per 1,000. In the three years from 1851 to 1854 the number of imprisonments was reduced to 1.1 per 1,000, and in the four years from 1850 to 1854 the average number of corporal punishments had been reduced to 2'5 per 1,000, being a little more than one-half in both cages, and making s total of 135 an compared with 252. Daring the year 1862 the average number under going imprisonment at any one time in the military prisons and barrack rolls amounted to 13.7, and the total augural pusishmente is these years amounted to I'B, making a total of 13-5 per 1,000 as compared with 251 in 1843.
