THERE never was a sentence of punishment better deserved than that of eighteen months' imprisonment with hard labour, which the LORD CHIEF JUSTIcE passed on JAMES POTTS BRICE and JAMES Scorr, last Wednesday, at Liverpool. Bent had married a young lady, who as late as last autumn was engaged to Dr. Rowe, a physi cian at Liverpool. That engagement had termi nated in an abrupt and unsatisfactory manner only a fortnight before the lady's marriage, and owing to disputes and litigation which arose be tween the friends of the parties Dr. ROWE deter mined, for his own protection, to keep the letters which during the courtship he had received from the lady until all discussion and danger of imputations on his character had subsided. This was certainly not a very chivalrous course ; but, as the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE observed, it might have ap peared to Dr. Rows one that he was entitled to take. It is justice, not chivalrous conduct, that we are strictly entitled to demand of one another. It does not appear, moreover, that Dr. Rowe made any unfair or ungenerous use of the letters, or was about to do so. His counsel declared that he re tained them with care and secrecy, as became a man of honour, and had never shown them to a human being. On the evening of the 2nd of April last, five months after the young lady had become Mrs. B&W; while Dr. Rows was sitting at borne talking to his Oster, two persons knocked at the door of his house, and inquired for him. Dr. Rows came down stairs and found the visitors in his consulting room. He did not know them ; they proved to be BRICE, and Searr his friend, a gentleman from Ireland. flame announced himself, and said, " I have come for the letters of "my wife." Dr. Rowe explained that he could not part with them at that time, that Baices friends had misrepresented his character, and that he required the letters for his protec tion, observing that Mrs. BRICE was en titled to no peculiar consideration at his hands, having received his visits until within a fortnight of her marriage. He added that no person had ever seen the letter., or ever should. But the visitors had not come to argue. Baice's short answer to all that he heard was, " Never mind that, I'll have the letters." There upon Scorn bolted the door of the room, and from his coat-sleeve produced a large riding-whip with a heavy butt, which he flou rished over his head. The doctor was seized, and thrust into a chair and held there, while he was beaten and kicked, and his pockets were searched. The noise of the struggle and outcry brought the inmates of the house and the police to the door, which at length was unbolted, when Dr. ROWE was found gasping and insensib , e; blood was flowing from his mouth and nose, his breathing was difficult, and his face discoloured from partial strangulation. He lay for eighteen days before he was pronounced out of danger, arising from congestion of the pulmonary organs and heart, and rupture of some of the blood-vessels of the lungs. BRICE and SCOTT admitted to those who entered the morn that they had beaten Dr. Rows, and justified the act. It shocks us in our fancied social security to learn that an outrage so deliberate and murderous as this may be perpetrated in the heart o: a popu lous community in a man's own house, and perpe trated, it would seem, with additional security from interruption on that very account. Heaven knows what the two men intended to do when they fastened Dr. Rowe in his consulting room, but they took care to get him completely in their. power. Their counsel had the effrontery ; to pretend at the trial that their visit was planned as an ordinary visit at an ordinary time, for the purpose of possessing them selves of the letters, and that the extreme vio lence which had occurred was accidental. The riding-whip concealed in the waistcoat sufficiently shows what was the minimum of violence they contemplated. Mr. Dicer Sevmorit urged the jury not to blast the "fair fame and prosperity " of his clients by a conviction for felony ; but the jury were not to be hoodwinked. They found both of these cowardly ruffians guilty of the felony, and the public heartily endorses their ver dict. If there is any difference of opinion about) the sentence, it is only th a t while some persons ! think it well adjusted to the offence, others think it too lenient.

THE VISIT OF THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALE TO SCOTLAND. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, accompanied by their infant son, Prince Victor, left Loud= by the 8.40 p.m. limited expire= trek on the North London Railway for Scotland on Wedneeday. The suite of their royal highnesses included Major Teesdale, equerry to the Prince ; Lieutenset-Gueral Knollys ; Dr. &seeking, physician in ordinary to the Prince ; and the Hon. Mrs. Edward Coke. Their royal highnesses reached Stirling shortly after eight o'clock, and were received with loyal acclamation by a large crowd assembled on the platform of the station, where they we. received by Major H. D. Erskine, of Cardrose, a schoolmate of the Prince of Wales. Provost Marne, of Stirling, was also awaiting the royal party on the arrival of the train, and had the honour of being presented to the Prince and Princess. The other magistrates sad the high constables of the burgh were likewise on the platform. The Prince and Princess, on leaving their saloon cankers, were most enthusiastically cheered, and the ladies who were pri vileged to enter the station showed the utmost anxiety to get a glimpse of the royal babe, who was conveyed direct to Colluder. The Prince and Princess drove from the sta tion to Campbell's Royal Hotel, where they partook of breakfast, after which they proceeded in a carriage and pair from the Royal Hotel to Stirling where they visited the ramparts, the Douglas mom, the armoury, the mess-room, Re. They purchased venous arti cles from the table of the Douglas room, formed al the wood of that oelebeated apartment, and also of Ban nockburn and Abbey Craig woods. The Prince wrote in the visitors' book, " T'be Prince and Prices. of Wales." Colonel Nugget accompanied the royal party, and explained to them the various objects of interest in the Castle, and those included in the splendid panoramic view to:be obtained from the ramparts. On the arrival of the Prime and Princess of Wales in Stirling, Mr. J. F. Crawford, bookseller, Stirling, handed to Lieutemint-Geneeal Bully; for the purpose of presenting to her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, a very elegantly bound volume of Sir Walter Scott's " Lady of the Lake," bound in Douglam-room oak, and having on the side a beautiful oil coloured view of Stirling Castle. The book was printed in gold and black, and contained a fine collection of full page photographs of the lake district. Her royal highness was graciosudy pleased to accept of the gift. After their return from the castle, the Prince and Princess drove to the railway station, to join the 10,45 train for Baßoeh. On entering the *klieg station their royal highnesses ware received by she Duke of Montero., Lord and lady Abernomby, and Mr. Stirling of Rippeodavie. The royal party, on proceeding to the saloon carriage which was to convey them along the Forth and Clyde Junction Railway to Balloch, were loudly cheered by a large assemblage of the inhabi . tack of Stirling. The Duke of Montrcee, one of the directors of the line, and Major Erskine had the honour of accompanying their royal highnesses. At the stations along the line at which the train stopped them were large crowds of people Mlle= to obtain a sight of the royal pair, who were loudly cheered when the train arrived. At the Dry mea station the Princess was presented with a tasteful bouquet from Bochananbonse, and at this station the Doke of Montrose took leave of their royal highnesses. On the arrival of the train at Ballocb, the Prince and Princess were received by Sir James C,olquhoun of Lass, Bart. Among the other gentlemen present were Mr. Alexander Sreollett, of Benhill, Mr. Robert Napier, of (Misname, Mr. Jas. Mackenzie, of Auchinglass, and Mr. Archibald Orr Ewing. The three Vale of Leven rifle volunteer corps, represented by about 120 men, under the command of Lieutenant-Colossi Finley, were drawn up in line at Balloch station, and as soon as the train stopped the volunteers presented arms, and the band struck up the National Anthem. The line being formed in open order, the Prince of Wales left the royal carriage and proceeded along the ranks amid the plaudits of • an , moron' assemblage of spectators. As the Prince pro , ceeded with the inspection the commissioned officers had the honour of being presented to his royal highness. At Balloch pier, which was gaily decorated with flowers and evergreens, the royal party were received with load demonstrations of loyalty from those assembled at the pier. The Prince and Princess went on board the gee steamer Prince Consort for Loch Lornocd, and a number of noblemen and gentlemen of the district also went on board. His royal highness, however, expressed a desire that the trip should be strictly private, and the whole of those who ' had gone on board immediately returned to the shore. la a few minutes after, the Prince Consort got up her steam, and sailed to Isversnaid by the usual route, passing Less cad Rowardennas, whence the royal party proceeded , by Loch Karim to the Bridge of Turk (New Tromachs) Hotel. The Prince and Prisons of Wales had truly royal weather, and they seemed to enjoy to the greatest eatset the greed, romantic, sad historically.famed scenery of the " Quasi of Scottish Lake" It was stated yesterday that the Prince intended to begin grouse shooting at Glanfieles • today (the 12th), but we usderstand that the Prince and Princess are expected to reach Abergeldie to-day, arriving , at Ferryhill (Aberdeen) by the 4.10 mail train, and pro. evading thence by special train on the lamas Railway.— Semsman. A telegraphic despatch from Aberdeen, dated yesterday, says :—" The Prince sad Princess of Wales arrived at Peery hill station, Aberdeen, at 10 minutes past 4 this afternoon. They were received with hearty cheers by a large number of spectators. The carriages having been shunted on to the Deride line, the royal party left for Aboyne amid renewed acclamations, the infant prises obtaining special recogni tion. Aboyne was reached at 14 minutes past 5. Hers there was also a numerous sassmblage of ladies and gen. Licence, including Lord Kintore, lord-lieutenant of the county. From Above* their royal highnesses posted to Aharcedin Castle, a drive el SOON 16 wiles, and reached their destisatiou at 7 o'clock. The weather throughout was delightful." THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 13, 1864. At 8 Ado& the general commanding the sr tallery gave the signal for the firing to commence. The fiat shots were sent from mortar batteries. Mach shell traced a luminous parabola in the air, and fell near the target, which was a barrel placed on the top of a pole and illuminated in the inside. The firing was afterwards taken up by the pieces of Gannon, and ran along the whole line. Ido not believe the barrel was kit by the shells, although numbers of targets were hit, and the firing was excellent. It is usual when the barrel is knocked over to escort in triumph the gunner who has had the good fortune to achieve the suc cess. On Wednesday there was no such triumphal procession, although the pole supporting the barrel was hit at least 20 times. Fireworks were let off at intervals, and two admirable military bands enlivened the scene. A retraite by torchlight closed a delightful and instructive evening, the pleasure of which was much enhanced by the courtesy and kindness of the artillery officers. General de Wanbert de Oenlis, aide-de-camp of the Emperor, has been appointed to receive the king of Spain on the frontier, and to remain attached to his Majesty's staff during his visit to France. The Bourse was very calm, and Rentes scarcely varied at 66fr. 35c. • r,Zw DRAMA. Sr. JAMIVEL The season at this theatre was brought to a close last evening with =dominion for the benefit of Mr. sad Mrs. Charles Mathews, sod, according to a custom whirl' has been gaining ground of late, the ocean= was selected fee fibs peoduction of • new comedy. It bean the title of How Will They Get Out of It t and the author is Mr. Arthur Sketchley, better known to the public as the nightly narrator of " Mrs. Brown's Experiences at the Play." Mr. nankin has already made his &We as • dramatic author in an original little comedy entitled d Dark Cloud, also produced at this theatre. If his latest production be, as we believe, also entirely original, the playgoing public may be cosgratti tat= on the evidence which it affords that we have among us a writer not inferior in the higher qualities of the dramatic art to the best writers of the French stage. It would be impossible to give more than an outline of the story of • piece in which the incidents are so numerous ; nor would the attempt, if suoceesful, give more than a faint idea of a drama which owes ita mesas in so high • degree to the ease and vivacity of its dialogue, to the unflagging variety and begtosse of in situations, and to the vein of pure comedy, sever far • moment sinking into farcical absurdity or degene. rating into melodrame, which pervades it throughout. The scene opens in the drawing-room of Major Oldfield (Mr. Frank Matthews), • cheery old gentleman, whose destiny appears to be to receive the incessant reprimands of his wife, Mn. Oldfiald (Mn.s Freak Matthews), with imper turbable good humour. The major has a daughter, Alin (Mrs. Charles Mathews), who has contacted a somewhat heat, match with one Mr. Egerton (Mr. Frederic Robinson), sad the young couple are momentarily expected to arrive to ask in customary form the forgiveness of their not over enraged parents. The major and his wife are consulting upon this subject • lady who is staying on • visit--a Mrs. Tiverton (Mrs. Stirling)—when another friend, Mr. Peru Wylding (Mr. Charles Mathews) arrives upon the some, wad is invited to join the conferees= Mr. Percy Wylding is a goodnatured but somewhat mysterious gentleman, generally supposed to be mingle ; while Mrs. Tiverton is regarded by the world as a widow. In fact, however, this pair are ma and wife, who have mutually agreed about two yore before to live apart, as some trifling ground connected with incompatibility of tastes, and they are by no MOMS prepared for this sudden encounter. To prevent a seas they resolve to conceal their connexion, and remain for a while in the same neighbourhood, • determination which, the sequel, gives rise to endless complications and amusing mistakes. The arrival of Alice and Mr. Egerton here turns the attention of the audience into • new channel. The parental forgiveness is obtained, but the new married couple are sot happy. Egerton has a secret. A remark by his young wife on their first meeting on the subject of second marriages had unfortunately induced him to conceal from her the fact that he was • widower—his first wife baying perished by his side in the wreak of a Atom vessel during their wedding tour ; and the discovery of the portrait of this lady in his writing desk, no las than the abstracted manner of her husband when discovered contemplating it, awakens the suspicions of his new wife. She suspects a rival, and the discovery of Egerton in close conversation with the somewhat coquettish Mrs. Tiverton fixes lupin= upon that lady. Both Mrs. Tiverton and her husb•od happen to have known Foerton during the lifetime of his first wife. Wylding, indeed, was aboard the steamboatat the time of the wreck, and was mainly instrumental in saving the life of Egerton, who at that time bore the name of Thornton, the former name having been Loomed by him recently upon inheriting Cedilla property. The discovery by Alice that Egerton and Mrs. Tiverton have undoubtedly known each other before increases her fears ; but • darker cloud I. destined to pees over the path of the newly married couple. Wylding who,though • kilid.hearted fellow,of remark ably cool end self-possessed temperament, is, with the best intention; continually getting other folks into difficulties, accidentally apprises Egerton that a certain Mrs. Thornton was saved from the wreck ; but that disgusted with her hos baud she is glad to avail herself of the supposition that she is dead to retire and live in close seclusion in Switzerland. Overwhelmed by this discovery, Egerton resolves to depart, leaving • letter for his wife informing her of the facts, which he dares not reveal to her by word of mouth. Alice, however, has discovered his intention to fly at night, sided by his friend Wyldiog, and having previously interrupted her husband in the act of revealing some secret to the dreaded Mrs. Tiverton, her suspicions are confirmed. Meanwhile, latent sparks of jealousy of each other have begun to show themselves both in the experienced and somewhat worldly, but withal fascinating, Mrs. Tiverton, and is het cool and phlegmatic but not, altogether unimpreenon able husband. The pair, who have lived apart with such philosophical resignation, begin to watch each other's actions The frequent tete-i-totes of Egerton and Mrs. 'nestles strike even the cautious Wylding in odd ; while a converse. tine which he partially overhears between them apemen equally remarkable. Still, he will not be jealous 'or disloyal to his Mud ; but Mrs. 'Burton's suspi cions are not so easily appeased. She has observed Wylding in clue companionship oe enemy ocomion with the Major's niece Jassy (Min Wentwoeth), and is actually told by the Major that they are about to marry. Mrs. Tiverlos is eistannised, ea this evidence, to secretly depart that very night to seek for legal redress in Doctomenoremons ; and the discovery of her intention by the heart-broken Alice appears to her at once to reveal the entire scheme. All is prepared for theimidnight flight, when Alice apprises Wyldiag of the wapposed intention of Egerton and Mrs. Tiverton to fl► at the same time and meet at some appointed place. Wylding, though not suffer. leg his habitual coolness to be greatly disturbed, resolves not to be duped, and tells his wife of what he has learnt. An explanation soon convinces him that hie jealousy was unfounded ; and the lady, in her turn, demands as account of his conduct with Jwisy. This is the easiest thing in the world. Wylding, with his usual knack of blundering, has misunderstood a hint from the major and his wife to pay court to Jemmy, of whom the major is the guardian ; and has, oat the strength of his misunderstanding, fostered a match between Jaw and the major's son, Freddy (Mr. H. J. Montagne). Hence his frequent interviews with Amu. Meanwhile Egerton, detected by hie wife in the act of flight, is compelled to clear Mrs. Tiverton from the unjust suspicions mat upon her, snd to reveal the story of his pre. vials marriage. The chief difficulty, however, still remains, and how the parties will get out of it does not appear clear, when the discovery is made that, as coonalmeat owned the mischief, so open speaking is destined to repair all. The Mathis that Wylding has only been blundering •gain. For the fact that the first wife of Egerton is living he is indebted to his wife, who on lain appealed to proves that the whole thing is • mistake that there were two Mrs. Thorritons on board the ill-fated vessel, and that the lady who alone was saved bare not the faintest resemblance, Si indeed her photograph and other particulars prove, to the first wife of Egerton. This happy denouement, which the young couple by the dextrous management of Wyld ing are enabled to keep from making a public scandal, is naturally followed by the final recoociliation of Wylding and his wife, who henceforth &hoodoos for ever the same of Tiverton, and declares her true position to the world. The comedy wag admirably voted thoughout Mr. Charles Mathews perfortnieg Wylding with delightful ease and naturalness • sad Mrs. Charlie Mathews throwing into the more earne st portioas of her part • considerable amount of passionate force. Mrs. Stirling's performance of the coquet tish, excitable, but not unarniable Mn. Tivericio, was screed to any of her best efforts. The other performers were not less well trained in their parte, Mr. Trask Matthews 'ape. really deserving • word of praise for his pleassat perfor. waste of the good natured lisepedred major. The comedy has been well put on the stag% two set mosses—one repre senting the exterior of the cottage of Wyldrag, with • sea shore view, showing the carve of • rooky bay, the ether a drawiorrooin interior, with a moonlight view of the sec through an open door—being particularly deserving of com mendation.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom ou& owl CORRESPONDENT.) PAEIS, FRIDAY EVENING. The " holydays" have arrived and the French papers are full of the " breaking-up" discourses. The scholars are loaded with prizes and laudations, the masters are decorated with the much coveted red riband of the Legion of Honour, and ao univer sal contentment prevails. Politics are put aside for the moment and the Parisian world is bent upon giving itself up to unalloyed enjoyment. The city is being magnificently decorated, and as Paris is unrivalled in its public fetes, there is no reason to doubt that the most sanguine expectations will be fulfilled and surpassed on Monday next. And why should it not be a glorious display ? Never, the imperial journals tell us, did France occupy such a commanding position as at this moment ; the de fender of the faith, the only nation, in fact (as the Emperor observed), that protects religion for its own sake, the dispenser of crowns, the terror of the oppressor, the hope and refuge of the op pressed, the munificent patron of the arts and sciences—in short, a light to lighten the nations of the earth and to scatter blessings in the path of all peoples. flo let the 15th of August testify the gratitude and devotion of a nation to a prince who has done such great things. There was • trial on Thursday which will be read with some interest in London, where I believe many of the Russian rouble notes have been offered for sale. It appears that • Pole, named Frankowski, aged 29, representing himself to be an agent of the Polish National Government, and a Frenchman named Bourban, aged 38, were charged with falsifying and negotiating certain credit notes of the Credit Foncier of Warsaw, each of the value of three thousand roubles. Another Frenchman, named Faucheux, who has absconded, was also included in the indictment. In June, 1863, the director of the deposit-office in the public treasury of Warsaw and two of the superior clerks absconded, taking with them credit notes of the Credit Foncier of Warsaw to the amount of 3,200,000 roubles, but leaving in their place a list of the numbers of the notes abstracted, and a receipt in the name of the Polish National Government, under whose orders they had acted. The Russian government took immediate measures to prevent the negotiation of these securities by transmitting their numbers to all the capitals of Europe. Nothing was heard of the notes till last March, when four of them were presented to the Messrs. Rothschilds' for payment, bearing the numbers 15,810, 15,852, 14,154, 15,982. As none of these numbers were in the list furnished by the Russian government, the Rothschilds negotiated them without the slightest hesitation, and after wards transmitted them to one of their correspon dents in Germany. The notes were soon returned, with the observation that they really formed part of those stolen, but that all the numbers had been falsified by the addition of the figure 1. The value of two of the notes which the Rothachilds had cashed for an agent, employed by the accused Fancheux, was at once refunded, and • suit is still pending for the recovery of the amount of the other two from M. Huguet, a banker. The inquiry that was instituted led to the discovery that Bourban and Faucheux had received the notes from Frankowski. Warrants were in consequence issued against them, when Frankowski and Bourban were arrested, but Faucheux has succeeded in baffling all the efforts of the police. In court the pri soner Frankowski maintained that he did not alter the numbers, and that he was not aware they had been altered. Dr. Galingowski deposed that he, as a member of the Polish committee of the national debt, had entrusted the notes to Fran kowski for negotiation, and that the numbers bad I not then been falsified. He added that tit) months later he had been instructed by the Polish National Government to withdraw the notes from Frankowski, but that the latter refused to give' them up. There was, however, no reason to sup pose that he had ever embezzled any of the funds he had received from the national government. I After hearing counsel for the defence the jury retired to deliberate, and in half an hour they returned into court with a verdict acquitting Frankowski of forgery but finding him guilty, with extenuating circumstances, of negotiating the notes knowing them to have been falsified. The court condemned 'him to the minimum punish ment, two years' imprisonment and a tine of 100 franca. Bourban was acquitted as having acted without any guilty knowledge. There was a brilliant entertainment given on Wednesday night at Vincennes by the artillery. It combined instruction and pleasure, and was similar in all respects to the annual fite given by the Royal Artillery in India on the last day or night of their anneal practice. The pyrotechnic building at Vin cennes was tastefully decorated in military fashion. DENMARK AND GERMANY. The Times correspondent at Vienna, wilting on August 9, says : "The Danish question is for the moment at a stand still, K von Quaade not having yet received from Copenhagen the necessary powers for beginning negotiations for peace, on the basis of the prelimi naries signed here on the Ist inst. It is very gene rally believed that the preliminaries of peace will not be valid until they have been ratified by the Danish government, but such is not the case. K von Quaade and Colonel von Kauffmann were fully empowered to treat with the representatives of the great German powers, and to enter into bind ing engagements with them, but they were so very cautious that they would not sign the preliminaries of peace until they had received from their govern ment special and positive instructions so to do. Though there is no good reason why peace should not speedily be concluded between the German powers and Denmark, the Danish Plenipotentiaries have left Munch's Hotel and taken private apart ments, thereby showing that they expect their sojourn here to be a prolonged one." THE ORANGE RIOTS AT BELFAST. (BY RARCTRIC ratemurn.) DUBLIN, FRIDAY EVINDIC. The rioting, which has been going on in Belfast for several nights, assumed an alarming aspect this morning. About four o'clock, after the police had gone to barracks, the mobs came into collision, and fought with bricks and bludgeons, and even used guns. Many persons were injured ; a girl was maimed by a blow of a policeman's gun, and a man was shot through the leg. A nunnery was wrecked, and the windows of Si. Patrick's Burial Society, besides those in a number of private houses, were smashed. The workers in factories swarmed the streets this morning, and a renewal of the riot is expected to-night. The magistrates met to-day to make preparations for its suppression. The mili tary will be called out. DIIBLLW, SATURDAY MORNING. Rioting again took place last night in Belfast. A mob having wrecked a presbyterian and a Wes leyan chapel, she Orangemen retaliated by attack ing .the residence of Dr. Dorrian, the coadjute Roman catholic bishop, and a penitentiary belong ing to the nuns. The celebration by the apprentice boys of Derry of the relief of that city also caused disturbances. The apprentice boys walked by torchlight at night. "It is very generally believed," says the Dublin correspondent of the Time, "that Lord Carlisle left Ireland on Tuesday evening for the last time, or that if he returns it will only be to bid farewell to a people who regard him with an affectionate esteem such as few of his predecessors have ever enjoyed. Although his retirement is not officially announced, it has for some time been bet too evident that his health was giving way beneath the bushes of office, and this canoe increases the grief which is fell in every quarter of the country at the possible loss of a viceroy who has ever proved himself the friend of Ireland. Sevenl of the papers speak of it as certain, and indicate as his enc. cisme the Duke of Devonshire, ' whose name,' says one journal, ' suggests so many high qualifications, social, poli tical, and personal, that we are sure the whole country would rejoin to hear that he had accepted the post. But, whoever fills it, he =mot easily win more general and un feigned respect or mere cord al esteem than Lord Carliale.' " WAR•OFFICE, PALL-MALI, AUGUST 12.

Robson, the admirable actor who so caddie), but so securely took a prominent position before the town a. one of the most gifted comedians the stage had known for very many years. Mr. Rob.on had been long suffering from severe illness, which had compelled his withdrawal from the Olympic boards tome time ago but his death, which occurred on Friday morning,' soon after midnight, was not anticipated so noon. He ham left a son, who, having entered into his father's profession sn . Lp . eepetuate his name on the stage. Mr. Frederick i n t wss born at Margate in the year 1821, of parent.; in the middle station of life, still remembered in that town with peat respect. He was apprenticed at the usual age to a copper plate engraver in the neighbourhood of Covent garden, but his abalone soon tended toward. another branch of art, and he obtained an appearance at the once famous Amateur Theatre in Catherine-etreet, strand, when he appeared as Simon Ilealhag in the drama of uea;; Buntley. . To obtain practice be accepted an engagement at the Wbitetable Theatre as "wood utility :" but as this theatre Irma situated on the first floor of a private house it may be readily understood his limits of action were exceedingly circmscrilied. He went to other equally small establishments, appeared at Uxbridge, and then gat promoted to the metropolis, making, in Bee, his appearance at the Grecian, where he remained five years. The manager of the Queen's Theatre, Dublin, then offered Mr. Robson an engagement in a ladle; positioo. This was accepted, and commenced in 1850. With the Dublin public, honourably celebrated for its high appreciation of talent, the new comedian became immediately a peat favourite. He remained in the Irish capital for three years, dividing his time there between the two principal theatres. On Mr. Compton 's secession from the Olympic he was engaged by Mr. Ferree to supply that gentleman's place, and be as appeared there at Easter, 1853, after a very few weeks of public indifference, making his name the greet feature of the playbill. He made his bow to the Olympics audience (Much 28, 1853) in Catching an Heiress, but it was not till the late Francis Talfourd's clever bur lesque of Macbeth came out (25th April, 1833) that he really mid, a great impression. On she 23rd of May fol. lowing he pee a fresh popularity to Jon Bar in The Wondering Muted, and in the suededieg July played Shylock in Mr. Talfourd's traeadie of The Mcrduast of Venice. These parts established his faros as a comedies of rare powers, and when in the October of the same year Mr. Alfred Wigan became lessee, Mr. Robeon was retained se • mod valuable attraction. In The Camp at the Olympic and Plot and Passion he excited the admiration of the whole town, and afterwards in Mr. Planchil's fairy burlesques and in Mr. Breath's Medea, was sokoowledpd a comedian of the highest order. When Mr. Wigan sumudered his management of the Olympic, in 1857, Mr. Hobson became joint lessee of that establishment with Mr. W. S. Emden. and till the time of his death, though he had ceased to act there, his name appeared as co-lessee on the playbills. The sublimity of burlesque with which Mr. Robson used to combine the utmost extravagance of fires with the highest altitudes of tragedy will long be remembered. He gave a living testimony in his acting to the fact that there is only one step from the sublime to the ridi culous, and showed the aid proverb to be only a weak statement of a great truth. He proved that the chord of human nature, when at its uttermost tension. was equally likely to give a soued of intend sublimity or wild buffoonery mid that it only depended upon the quarter from which the wind came that set it vibrating, whether it. tones should be the one or the other. It wee this thorough appreciation of the pesters and complexity of human nature which made Mr. Robson the BM actor of the day in his particular line ; and his lose will be greatly deplored by both the public, who appreciated him so much, and the theatrical profession, who esteemed him so highly. LORD PALMERSTON AND THE LATE POLL. TICAL DEMONSTRATION AT BRADFORD. (From the Saturday Review.) Lord Palmerston would perhaps have done m slat to staying away from Bradford. The working men ha. gad boo with insincerity and with playing false on the retorm question. The real truth is not that Lord Palmer ston has either played fair or played fable—has redeemed or forfeited his pledges. He bee only dune what be could not help doing ; he bas only not done what he could not do. Of coarse it is a pity that be ever made pledges, or ever promised anything. But keen statesmen and the Yorkshire mind interpret pledges sod promises in very dif ferent mem. Stupid people, who take words to hare • meaning, and who think a bargain mews something to he done, cannot understand the noo-natund, that in the politi cal, sense of pledgee and promisee. They are incapable of retains ; they are heavy, dull, and vulgar. They only read in the grammatical some. The mistake in Lord Pelmenton's career is that be cannot see that hie aasumption of • double character must fail him some day or other. It failed him at Bradford. In his administration and in parliament he is a consummate manager. Wily, shifty, • perfect master of strategy, full of versatility and political craft, ha his perhaps he is obliged to be, addicted to ambiguity— arephibology, as they call it—and to other ia tellectual processes which it is easier to see than it is pleasant to describe. Heroes his fame, hems hi moms. But out of parliament he comes down to the as the plain blunt Englishman, who carries his heart on hie alseve and his policy at his watch-chain. He is more plainspoken than prettiest; open, candid, and in caution, to • fault. And became be is always telling people that he is so, a good many people have taken him at his word. The Bradford people—that is, some of them— bars not. They take the Palmerston of fact, not as he describes himself, but as they read him in history. This oompari.on of the oxtail with the ideal is an awkward one to provoke. It would not surprise us if, for the rest of the political season in the provisoes, the Premier were to plied ao attack of the statesman's sore throat—dm/lonia potiticorsai. THE poanzAw ASSESSMENT. A series of questions having been addressed to the Poor-law Board, with the view of obtaining information on the above subject, by Br. J. L Stratton. of Tlllllollsoll House, Brackley, writing oo behalf of the &armament committee in his district, the following reply has been received from Mr. W. 0. Lumley. assistanteometary of the Board :—" I am directed by the Poor-law Board to acknow ledge the mop, of your letter of the 23th of June last, on the subject of the proper mode of arriving at gross estimated rental. "You ask, in the first place, w bather, in arriving at grow estimated rental, it is right to consider that actual rest has nothing to do with the subject! To this the board have to armor that the courts have laid down is many oases that the rent whicn is actually paid is the best criterion of value (see the 'Kieg v. Chaplin,' 1 B. and Ad., 998) when that is the full rack rent, t ho ugh. as it was held in the late ma, of Hayward v. the Overseers of Briockworth,' 10, L. T. (n.s.), 606. that rent is no; conclusive, as it may be shown that the actual value is above the sum paid as the rack rent. You ash, secondly, whether it is ngbt to consider that / MI estimated rental ought sot to be lees than the actual rest that is paid for the land, except is the cases of old knees, where it is clearly proved that from some cease the property has been de preciated in value! The board, referring to the dee affirm of roes estimated veinal. gives in lath minim of the late act 24-L't Via, e. 1113, lied it difficult to seder stand how such rental can be deemed to be lees than the not actually paid, colon some depreciation in value can be shown to hare occurred in the meaner suggested by von. It cannot be properly established that the rent at which the premises may be expected to let from year to year me, except under some Feather circumstances, be less than that which is actually paid. Your third question is whether it is right to same, at a higher amount than actual rent where it is clearly proved that the property is let below its real value! To this the board think it best to refer to the late cam in the Quesa's Beach, above cited, where the court held • rate to be bad bemuse certain pro perties had beep valued by the assessment committee upon the rent. actually paid, though it was proved that the real anatial value of these lands was above the =mote paid in mats." CARDINAL WISEMAN AND THE CORN OP' Dthisrms.—The Lthdoe oorreepoodeet of the Camarillo Independent gives the following statement from the Rev. B. Martin, of Trowbridge, as hie authority for the pass- graph which hes been going the roiled of the journal. in relation to the cure of diabetes :—" Borne years ego, is the. course of my pastoral work. I met with • middle-aged man of this town (Trowbridge). a veterinary gamma, who was thus nfilieted (i.r. with diabetes). He bad long been given up by the docton.

Jost at that time, I beard of • method of cure that had been adopted by • Lutheran clergyman to Germ-my, with remarkable success, and through the kindness of a friend 1 obtained the receipt. It is simply this : The taking of fresh harm or yeast three or (oar times • day at the same time meeting the waste pro duced by the di;easse on the system, by the free use of Dublin potter, and all the solid couriabior food the patient one take. I persuaded my friend. the veterinary surgeon, to try this remedy.

As the disease snob a fearful effect in rednehag the system, this must be cesisteracted, as far as possible, by strengthening diet, chiefly of animal food. which should be confioed to small question and cites.
