literature. .Ilietory of the United Netheetands, from the Death of Milian% the Silent to the Twelve Years' Truce -1609. By Josh LOTHROP MOMS!, D.C.L., author of " The Rise of the Dutch Republic." In four volumes. Vols. 111. and IV. London : John Murray, Albemarle-street. 1867. We are glad to meet Mr. Motley again on the ground he has made his own, and to hear front him the heroic story he tells with such dramatic inte rest and power. In these two volumes he com pletes the history of the great struggle which ended 111 the year 1609 by the virtual recognition by Spain of the independence of the Nether-1 land Republic, and its formal admission into the family of nations by the Twelve Years' Trace. By a change in his plan Mr. Motley has given a more than usually dramatic unity to his work. Instead of continuing the history into the duller times of peace, he has brought it to a close with the war it narrates. At the end of the forty of war a short period of quiet intervened fore the Thirty Years' War began. Instead of narrating the tamer history of that ten years' in terlude at the end of the present work, Mr. Motley has reserved it for the opening chapters of another work which will tell the story of the Thirty Years' War, concluding with the Peace of Westphalia, ae this concludes with the Twelve Years' Truce. By this extension of his plan Mr. Motley not only gives unity and effect to the dra matic and exciting story he has to tell, but makes his own one of the most interesting and important periods of human history. The period of eighty years, which witnessed the rise of the Dutch Re public and ended by the establishment of the United Provinces in an unquestioned indepen dence, was the transition period between mediae val and modern Europe. During that long agony of the European nations a new Europe was born. The idea of Catholic unity received its death-blow, and the idea of toleration, which is but a rudi mentary form of the principle of religious liberty, first emerged into the light. The Catholic idea was clear to the minds of those who had under taken its defence, but the full meaning of the Protestant idea was hidden from those who made the most heroic sacrifices on its behalf. They fought for liberty for themselves, and only time and the stern teaching of events led to the ultimate extension of that liberty •to those who differed from them as they differed from the ancient faith. But the whole of these wars which desolated Europe for eighty years, were wars of religion. Schiller tells us of the thirty years' war, that though reasons of state may have actuated the princes, reasons of religion actuated the peoples, and Mr. Motley, who gives the religious aspects of the war no great and unnatural prominence, shows that the same state ment may be applied to the whole series. But out of the religious motive a political motive grew at length. " The disease of liberty," says Mr. Mot ley, " threatened to become epidemic in Europe," and priest mid king coalesced in the endeavour to stop its spread. To the gallant Dutchmen repub licanism was an unavoidable and reluctantly ad mitted neccesity ; but they fought for political freedom as the condition of religious and cmmer cial freedom, though they understood neither of these forms of freedom as we understand them now. Mr. Motley, in describing Barneveld, has described the age in which Bitrueveld lived. " A climnpion of liberties rather than of liberty, he defended his fatherland with heart and soul mailed the stranger ; yet the government of that fatherland was in his judgment to be trans ferred from the hand of the foreigner, not to the self-governing people, but to the provincial corpo rations. For the people he had no respect and perhaps little affection. He often spoke of popular rights with c attempt. Of popular sovereignty he had no conception. His patriotism, like his ambi tion, was provincial." But the men, to nearly all of whom these words will apply, who fought their own battle with such heroic persistency and valour, uncousciously fought the battle of liberty against despotism, and, once for all, won the fight. Their example was contagious. It propagated itself in other lands and in after times, and produced results of which they did not even dream. Fcr that which really fought in the Netherlands was the Puri tanism which afterwards laid the foundations of the American republic, which won British freedom in the strife with the Stuarts, and which has just won the great battle between free and slave society in the United States. On the continent of Europe the lines of religious doniarcation which were drawn at the close of the eighty years of war re main at the present day, and till within a few years have corresponded in great degree with the limits of constitutional and irresponsible govern ment. But the seeds of liberty sown by the United Netherlands have grown up outside the European limits, until a band of free communities —enjoying a wider freedom than the Dutchmen dreamed of—stretches round the world. There is ennothing very fitting in Mr. Motley's selection of such a theme as that of the long struggle of the Netherlands for their liberties. Himself the diplomatist of a republican federation, he finds continual points of contact between the history he is writing and that whichhis own country is enacting. Indeed the living interest for this generation of Americans which their muntrymen's patriotism gives his history may possibly a little hinder its appreciation in future times. He writes, of course, with all that enthusiastic absorption in I his subject which becomes the historian ; but now and then ho thinks of his audience, and draws lessons for the United States from the failures and mistalsex, the virtues and the successes, , if the United Netherlands. But on such a theme it is impossible that he should not moralise. The story he has to tell is without its equal in history. The capture of Masada was not more heroic than that oif Breda, with which this third volume opens, and the de fence of Jerusalem is even surpassed in interest by the defence of Ostend, which is narrated at length in the concluding volume. These are only epi sodes in a narrative which in every page illustrates the virtues free men love and the evils they need to dread. These two volumes take us through twenty years of hand-to-hand fight between despotism and freedom. A population a little larger than that of London not only established their own freedom against the overwhelming forces of despotism, but explored the Arctic Sea and discovered the Antarctic Continent, built up an immense commerce, made discoveries which were a new starting point in science, and made the narrow strip of land they had won from the ocean the fatherland of modern commerce and modern free dom. Mr. Motley tells their story with complete appreciation of their virtues and full knowledge of their defects. No romance can be more interesting than lie makes this history, and no Englishman can read it in this time of commercial, political, and social gloom without finding his faith in human progress greatly revived and strengthened, and his satisfaction with his own time and its prospects indefinitely increased. RAILWAY COMMUNICATION WITH THE EAST-END, —A numerously attended meeting was held at the Vic toria Tavern. Burdettnead, Bow-common, on Tuesday evening, for the purpose of obtaining an improved system of railway communication with the City and other parts of the metropolis. Yr. W. Newton took the chair. Several of the inhabitants addressed the meeting, and pointed out the rising character of the neighbourhood and the want of railway communication. Although the Bow extensioa of the Black wall Railway paned through the district, the inhabitants had to travel some distance, either to I/- Bow-station of the North London or to Btelney, to avail themselves of a train ; and it was suggested that if a station was formed in the Burdett-roaa, a fine road lead- ing to Victoria-park. a new and very remunerative trail. would be developed. Resolutions were then adopted urging the necessity of a station being opened is the die. that, and a memorial to the directors of the Great Eastern Railway Company, the lessees of the Madman lira was arranged. On Tuesday two bailiffs presented • warrant at the shop of Mr. Carr, the biscuit manufacturer, at Carlisle, mthorising them to seise two sacks of meal for payment of certain aura tithes due to she Rev. Mr. Point, but which Mr. Carr, being a quaker, Musa so ontecientious grounds to pay. The meal was atierWasels old by auction at the Market Cross.

" Personally, I am not sorry that Mr. Douglass's letter to Lord Ingeatre was published, because it led me to take the further trouble of investigating whether any and what correspondence had taken place between my ion and Mr. Goodman. Had I known of it at the time when I read Lord Ingestre's • reckless statement' on the hustings, I should have been quite content to have published it with out comment, as the bast answer to his charge.

SCOTLAND. In addition to the precautions already men tioned, special watchmen have now been appointed to guard the government offices at Edinburgh. They have already entered upon their duties. A correspondent of the Scotsman writes : "From information received, or from fear of • Fenian Week, we understand the officials of the Caledonia& Railway judged it desirable on Monday that the plate leyers, surfaces:lan, and others connected with that par don of the line between Glasgow and Carlisle should, from six o'clock in the evening until daylight yeMerdity morning, patrol and keep • careful look-out along the line during the night. That there wee any definite expectation of mischief shout to be done, we of course, cannot in the meantime positively ry ; but Rim hinted in some quarters that warounp or threats predicting specific outrage* have been of late plentiful. The unusual precaution taken by the railway authorities on Monday night is said to have been in con sequence of one or more of the presiding judges of the Glasgow Winter Circuit Court, which rose that day, Ms velling,south by th e limited mail . Whatever was the was I at the " patrolling movement," it, so soon as it beams known yesterday morning, caused considerable alarm sad excitement at the wayside stations, which at sight o'clock was heightened to an exceed= when a rumour got gloat that a number of the in the limited mail train were maliciously writhed while approaching Beattock at 11.40 the previoas night. From inquiries, we find that this report, like many more at present in circulation, is without foundation. We have still every reason to believe that Fenianism is being gradually stamped out in Lanarkshire, yet the authorities en my wisely strengthening the precautions taken to the peace. In almost every town and village of greenery* throughout the county, hundreds of indivi duals, anxious to show their loyalty, have enrolled them selves within the lest eight days as special constehies. The great majority of the " specials" are working men. On the 9th inst. a soldier in the uniform of the 21st Fusiliers was in Dumfries, and had gone intotheputilin house of Thomas Hart, spirindealer, P Dumfries. In conversation with the landl i t s rd tan s2 other persons, he said that the working men of England and Scotland should mite with the Fenian* and spat the government ; and ha expressed deep sympathy far the three Fenians executed at Mainsheets& for murder, to&nicer utterance his hearty appreval of the Do chionese of Queensberry forwarding 1001 . for Dowager of the family of one of the murderers.

A loud report was heard, and instantly the Inglb.4lSele and the property odium{ were laid in ruins. The boiler in the concussion was forced out of its socket and err up with great violence into the air. The report of the mc}losion having been beard far and neer, a crowd of people were speedily mithe spot. Greet excitement preened when it was jknown that earns of the workmen were buried beneath the ruins With ready heads • vigorous effort was made among the debris which lay all around, as if mused by • violent shock of an earthquake. While some were thus searching, others dis covered that two men, named repectively John Smith (18) and Robert Ridley, • young man 17 years of age, amp in the glue works adjoining, had been blown into a ie leld l ea the opposite ride of the railway. When picked up they , were found to have sustained serious injuries. The poor fellow Smith was found to have been fearfully sodded all ever his body. Ridley wee found to have mithrised a series gash on the head, es if he had been shuck by some ' While blown through the air. They were lame removed to houses near, and mediadaid procured. Meanwhile the work of overturning the ruins in search of ethers progressed vigorously, but for a considerable time without soy results. A pony cart, however, was dug oat of of the debris. car t was .

Those in the ghee works were next inquired after, and on all 1 the names being called over it was discovered that • boy, lambed Robert Benson, was missing. Having been seen 'ln the yard • few minutes beta* the explanon, it was lamer he must have been either blown away or buried beneath the ruins. No sooner was it mentioned that • , doubt existed of his misty than • vigilant search was sada. Indifferent to the danger that hung all around by I =timbers, dilapidated wails, and scalding bricks, gentlemen in the locality with praiseworthy alacrity were foremost in the search. After turning over the ruins in the comer neared to the glass works, and his body being still missing, • search was made in the fire-hole, which was completely filled up with bricks and pieces of broken spars. Exciting, indeed, was the scene as showers of bricks were thrown out of the hole in search of the little fellow. On it becoming known that one of his hands had been seen among the bricks the most intense excitement prevailed, end the spot was speedily sur• rounded by excited spectators. In a few minutes more the poor little fellow's lifeless body was lifted from among the debris frightfully crumbed and mutilated. It was re moved to the dead house. Dr. Frain, who was called to attend to Smith, rendered every possible aid, bat so seriously had he been scalded, the clothes having to be cut off his body, that he died within two hours after the acci dent. At the time of the occurrence the unfortunate man had finished his work, having been on the night " shift," and had just sat down neer the fines in the greshouse for • chat with some of the men employed et the mill. Sin gular to say, the men with whom he had been talking jut left • few moments before the explosion, and thereby es caped his untimely fate. The other injured man, Robert Ridley, was also standing near Smith. He is seriously in verabout the head, and fears were entertained at him reco y. Smith was married to the daughter of his master, Mr. Johnson. He was abut 28 years of age. The boyißecson was about ten years of age, and was employed as • carrier. His father was also employed in the glasabotuse as • teaser. The destruction caused by the explosion is something dreadful. Situated between the mill and Mr. Johnson's ear works, with • strongly-built engine-horse enclosing it, some idea may be gathered of the havoc wrought by the bursting of a boiler under such circumstances, and the destruction of property that would ensue. Boiler and engine-hour have not only been destroyed, but a groat portion of Mr. Johnson's glass works has been blown down. A tall chimney, between 50 and 60 feet high, connected with the engine - house , has also been laid level with the ground. The paling enclosing the back part of the mill was blown down, and • portion of a rafter paling, about 90 yards off, was also knocked down. The latter was sensed by the boiler striking it when flying through the air. The force of explosion must hire been terrific, the main portion of the boiler having been carried into a field, on the other side of the railway, about 400 yards from the mill. The boiler was blown into three pieoes. The bottom part wasoarried about 800 yards off, while another piece of it has cut a depth of three or four feet into the moth. It appears to have been literally torn to pieces. Two instances of hair breadth escapes were mentioned. Mr. John Edgar, draper, Ma the min when the explosion occurred, and only sufficiently direct to escape being struck with the flying debris. He had just lef t his residence is DitoG4llllll4. which is only about 180 yards from the mill, and was making his way down the railway to his place of ' business. A man who was oe his way to his we* had got nearly as far as the mill when it Deemed to him that he had forgot his dither, which had been node I ready the night previous. After turning, and wade, bear 1 a few yards, the explosion took place and he was thus miraculously preserved. On the report' of the occurrence spreading in the town, great crowds of peooe *rambled in the vicinity of the mill. The mayor- (Mr. J. C. Ste. phenson) also visited the spot, and minutely examined the boiler. Too much praise eannot be given to Mr. John Edgar, Mr. J. and W. Oates, Mr. Benson, and the work men employed in the mill, for their efforts to extract those buried among the ruins. The most diverse reports are current regarding the cause of the explosion. The boiler, it r said, was about 20 years of age, and for long hail been considered unsafe. It was • cylinder boiler, about 35 feet long, 5 feet diameter, and i-inch plats. The mill for many years was carried on by Messrs. Rosy and Son, flour millers, South Shields, and for Dome years stood unoccupied. About two years ago Mr. Brown, miller Newcastle on his mill at the (end being destroyed, 'the Lamar Mill, and seed it for mme time. Mr. - Willis, of the Swirls steam mills, Newark, succeeded Idr.

It will recollected that the eyeprelimima examination took plass on Thu lad, when it was td that the E=aniWie the agent of the Netherlands and Marius Fire ce Compaszy, end that his defalcations amounted te Eke 9001. Mr. Scott said be had now to his lardship that he would he dared_ a great deal of trouble, inasmuch as the solicitor on behalf of the prisoner and the prisoner him self had iiIIC• the finder MOW= given_ facilities for the examination of the books and caldera' documents. As the result of that invastion the company felt madded that they could not snbetantiate the charge preferred raittr, prisoner, and it was to be regretted that ex had not been afforded them earlier.

He acted bautaCtoittr= the e d trr r amt r io n rw r i as anw agrt a rt she Lord Mayor that the solicitor for the prosecution e had withdrawn from further proceedings in the handsome way which he had done. The preferring of a charge of this kind must be an dray to the defe nd ant, because in the papers of last week it was stated, on the rem sentrition of the attorney for the predication, that be had embezzled a large sum of mond. His object in addressing his lordship was, that the poses should take notice of the statement now 'mule on behalf el the prosecution, and also of his (Kr. Daly'2) statement that the defendant was perfectly prepared to meet the charge, if they had proceeded further. He might state that the promotion was instituted on the information of aperson named Klaus, who had been discharged from the defendant's adios, and that the company were by him misled. As the tympany had handsomely endeavoured to remove every stain from the defendant's character, the defendant on his part promised in an equally honourable manner that he would take no subsequent proceedings I against the promoter (the managing director of the cow piny), who was • gentleman of high st•nding. The defendant was then discharged. GUILDHALL. Mr. Manor), solicitor, attended before Alderman Cope land to state the result of a ease which had been heard at this court on the 17th December, before Alderman Cotton and Alderman Canton. The son of his client Mr. Dowd was given into custody by Mr. Prosser, a confectioner of 34, Barbican, for stealing a penny tart, which there ap =to be every reason for believing was accidently ea down in the shop. Alderman Cotton dismissed the charge, and intimated that an action for false im la would lie against Mr. Prosser. That person Ce=bsoome conscious that he had acted with great impropriety, and had made an ample apology , in which he acknowledged that he allowed his angry feelings to sway his better judgment, and that he was now convinced the young man was totally ignorant of the charge he made against him. He further expressed his desire that every stigma which his unfounded accusation had cast uponyoung Dowd might be removed by this apology. Alderman Copeland said he had nothing to do with the ease, and that Mr. Moseop's statement should have been made before Alderman Cotton, who heard it. Willirnn BaMast, aged 39, • clicker, residing at 213, Upper-street, Is appeared on remand before Mr. Cooke, charged with lingeon cutting and wounding Mr. William Saliba, his father, with intent to murder him. It will he recollected that on Saturday last, about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the prosecutor, who carries on the business of an outfitter at 233, Upper-street, Isling ton, was seated at table with the prisoner and Mr. and Mrs. Grupp, the son-in-law and daughter of the prose cutor. They were just about to commence dinner when an altercation commenced between Mr. Grupp and the pri soner, and on the latter calling the former a liar • straggle ensned,and the prisoner left the room, but shortly afterwards returned with a shoemaker's knife in his hand, and ran behind his father's chair, seized him by the head, drew it back, and tried to cut his throat. The father placed up his left hand to save his throat, which be par tially did, but three of his ammo were cut to the bone in doing so. The prisoner was with some difficulty separated from his father, in doing which Mr. Grupp had his hands cut, as also did his wife, who took the knife from her brother. She told him that he ought not to act so, and he replied that he bore no animosity to her husband, but he had planned it for his father ; be was then given into - The primmer, who behaved himself in a mild and deco- 1 row manner, appeared to be perfectly harmless. Polioe-eonstable John Reynolds, 287 N, said the surgeon who attended to the wounds of the utor was then in attendance, and also • witness who would depose to an expression of the prisoner's intentions on the day previous to the attack. Kr. Arthur John Cribb said the prosecutor came to him about 2 o'clock on the afternoon of Saturday, suffer ing from • wound on his throat and severe cuts on three of his ners. The wounds were no doubt produced by such &knife as that produced, and had the prosecutor not guarded himself with his hand the wound on the throat would have proved dangerous had the same force been used. Mary Ann Icalq mid she was the prosecutor's servant. On Friday last, in the afternoon she was in the kitchen with the prisoner. They were 'talking about his father, and be said, "You Deed not be surprised if I do for the old man, for my blood is getting up, and I shall do it." She told him that he ought to be ashamed of himself, and not talk like that of his father. He did not m ention his father's name, but be had been talking of him. On being called upon, the prisoner declined to say any and he was fully committed for trial. The witnesses having left the court, a gentlemen, who was understood to he a brother-in-law of the prisoner, ad dressed the magistrate, and said that he had known the prisoner for many years, and had not the slightest doubt but that he was 'showing under insanity. He bad been under medical treatment previously for that malady, and it was well known to all his family. (Not one member of the family who appeared as a witness mentioned or hinted at such being the case.) Mr. Cooke—Will you be able to bring forward evidence as to that Applicant-4)h yes, sir, I can bring forward the medical gentleman who attended on him whilst be was insane, and severs' personal friends who will depose to the mine effect as what I have sta ted. Mr. Cooke—l have no power to order an examination , the prisoner, but I think your proper course will be to mention it to the jodge at the trial, and have your medical and other evidence in readiness, should it be required. The applicant said he would certainly pay attention to his worship's suggestion, and having thanked him, retired. WOBSHIF-STRF.ET. A young girl, who stated her name to be Sopkia Orme, aarently not morethan twelve years of age, was charged bdore Mr. Newton with steeling • valuable watch, the property of Mr. Frederick Brent, master of the Industrial School at Bethnal-green. It appeared from the evidence of this person that on the 30th ult. the young prisoner, who had been an occasional scholar at the industrial school mentioned, was required by Mrs. Brent to do something in the household duties which took her into the private room for a few minutes, immediately after which the watch and chain, valued at teas guineas, were missed. It was utterly impossible that they could have been stolen by anyone but the prisoner, as, in fact, no one but herself bad pared into the room between sight and ten, at the former of which hours they were seen by the prosecutor, and mimed by him at the latter. When asked respecting them she at once deniedaU knowledge of the articles, and but for her having a very bad character it is probable that soviet= would not have clung to her as it did. At night it was sonertained that she bad stopped away from her home, and • friend of bar mother reported to Mr. Brent that she bad ems her at aWs hour by the Woodmen publio-bonse in Betimatfross, in a pleas known as "The Boys' and Girls' Market."

I don't wish to ask whioh way you intend to give your influence nor do I intend to interfere in any way. From something that was said to me last time I was in Leicester by a gent leman whom I met, I gathered that it was thought that Ton had some personal feeling against Mr. Paget. I said that, from what I knew of you, I did not think that in such a matter as this you would allow any private feeling to actuate you for one moment. I write to tell you this, as I think you ought to know it. I have known Mr. Paget for many years, and he is a great personal friend of mine ; but it is his wish, and I am sure it is mine, that every person should judge for themselves. As you know, my father never interferes with any of his tenants in political matters in any way. I hope you will regard this merely as a private and frieudly note. lam very sorry I have not been able to, go to see you for some tone.—Very truly yours, Joss W. Mame." No. 2.

With regard to your letter, my feelings, and that of my father before me, were in favour of the conservative cause ; and, un fortunately, to a certain extent, I have pledged myself. If, however, I hear from you that it is your wiab , I shall be glod to show my appreciation of your kindness to me by not voting at this election, although you will see I am situated somewhat awkwar d in the matter.—Hoping you are well, I remain, your obe dient 'arrant, " JOHN GOODMAN.'

I hope you will believe mq when I say that I should be very sorry if you did not vote for the conserva tive candidate if you approve of his views, and I can assure you that this is Mr. Paget's wish with regard to every voter. I always think that in • question of principle in this oountry every man should vote and express himself es he pleases. lam very much obliged to you for your kind offer, which I quite feel is made out of personal regard for myself. I, however, most sincerely hope that you will vote according to your own feelings, and I moment wished to persuade you to the contrary. The only reason I wrote to you on the subject at all was, that as I had been told you bad some private dislike to Mr. Paget, I thought that you ought to know what had been said. lam quite sure that you will conduct your opposition to Mr. Paget quite fairly ; and by voting against bun from conscientious motives, you will please not only myself. but you will please him as well as all your friends. This is a liberal principle, and I hope you will approve of it, although you are • conservative.—`Very sincerely yours, " Jolts W. hira-Loz.' No. 4. " Lumley, Nov. 26,1807. "'Deer Sir,—l trouble you with a few lines, to say how exoeedingly hurt and annoyed I am by something which in has passed connection with this election.

As regards Mr. Douglass's as sertion and insinuation, I feel too much contempt for his conduct to deal with him at more length. One more letter shall aloes this matter. It is from Lord Ingest". to Mr. Goodman. It tells its own story. I hardly know which to admire most—its absolute contradiction of his own statements on the hustings, the candour with which he expresses his Yemen for at tacking me, or the singular confusion of ideas which led him to conclude that he could authenticate his mute.'

I never told you I should men tion the matter, and probably should not have done so, if the liberal side bad net attacked the con servatives, and accused them of putting on the screw.
