Along all the main roads, with the exception of the road front the Marble-arch to Notting-hill, powerful lamps, with solar reflectors, have been placed ; the pillars, massive in design and of excellent proportion, and the lanterns of a new and elegant pattern. The great advan tage of such an important step in park management is so obvious that the pedestrian, whose avocations oblige hint to cross what is at present nothing more than a desolate plain, with unpleasant and often dangerous adventures, probable during his expedition, will naturally desire an extension of the boon to the main walks and some other parts of the park. It is suggested that lime lights might be erected at two or three stations sufficient to illuminate the larger portion of the entire area, and it is not too much to hope that the improvement may be extended to the several parks under the control of the commissioners, and that it may stimulate improved lighting in open imam, subject to the regulation of the local authorities. The work has been executed with much despah by he contractors (Masers. Comyn, Ching, end Co. tc ), but it t is understood that the lighting is delayed by the difficulty of arranging t he gas supply with the companies. A novel mode of • hting is to be adopted by an electric apparatus fixed in t • base of the pillar, thus avoiding the mini bersome operations of the lamplighter with ladder and lantern. On Thursday evening three men were killed aid two severely injured in her Majesty's dockyard at Pem• broke. The men were engaged in testing a crane, and during the operation the amine gave way.

The Etendard of this evening says :—" The hopes of an understanding being arrived at between Prussia and Denmark by means of mutual conces sions increase. Prussia, it is said, will renounce several of the guarantees which she at first ' mended, and Denmark will abandon her claims to Alen and Duppel. This result is due to the con ciliatory influence of France, Russia, and Austria." The French journals of this evening again pub lish conflicting intelligence from Spain. The Petrie asserts that General Trim has never left French territory. According to this journal a rumour was current yesterday at Madrid that General Prim, the Mexican General Cortes, and several influential Spanish exiles, were to hold a secret council yesterday at Perpignan. The Patric expresses a hope that the authorities of that town would prevent the meeting. The France of this evening states, on the other hand, that General Prim is in concealment at Ber -1 colons.

The New Free Press of this evening publishes a despatch, according to which Barorr von Benet has instructed the Austrian minister at Munich to inform the Bavarian cabinet that the recent nego tiations at Salzburg bore no reference to South Germany, and that France and Austria have agreed to avoid interfering in the affairs of foreign countries. SCHLESWIG AND PRUSSIA. FLENSBURG, AUGUST 30. Herr von Selchow, the' Prussian Minister of Agriculture, was ent ertained to-day at a banquet given by the Citizen Club of Hadcraleben. . The attendance was very numerous, and toasts were drunk to the King, the Minister;, the army, " Inseparable Union with Prussia, Prussia extend ing to Konigsau," " Schleswig indivisible," &c. The members of the club requested Herr von Selchow to assure the King that they would never suffer separation from Prussia. DEN lA.RK AND NORTH AMERICA. COPENHAGEN, AUGUST 30. Fadrelandet publishes a lengthy article dwelling upon the long since expressed wishes of North America to purchase the Danish possessions in. the West Indies, and advocating their sale to that power. The writer says : " The cession might perhaps be less agreisabla to Inglaad,, tinkno cause at present exists to take that consideration into account. It might also be possible to convince France of the advisability of such a transfer of the Danish colonies to North America, for after an advan tageous sale of those possessions Denmark would be enabled to make a material increase to her fighting power, and notably to her ironclad fleet."

The Maas was one of the earliest productions that attracted special notice towards its composer. After his return from Italy, whither he was sent as the prize student of the Paris Conservatoire, Gounod produced various piece:sof church munc,among the most important of which was the Masa now referred to ; first performed at the Church of St. Eustache, Paris, in 1849. It might have been supposed that with the special opportunities afforded by his stay of several years in Italy, Gounod would have been so thoroughly imbued with the grandeur and sublimity of the old Italian church composers as to hare gained some reflection of their style, and applied it in his eccieellettoel writing. In *Owe ,of his church music, however, that we are so, qusinted with do we find any sign of such a course of study. The severe and noble simplicity of Palestrina, and the more highly developed fugal writing as well as the dignified sublimity of later Italian. church composers, if he studied them, seem to have left no impress on the mind of the French edadent. The Mane to *thichare are now referring contains much graceful erriting ; frequently ele gant, but never even appreitoking the sublime. ' There is the same dreary indefiniteness which charaderises Faust, the melodic phrases in the sacred and the secular work presenting a *imilarity of sty,* that is quite inconsistent with the distinc tion which should exist between the music of the church and that of the stage. Gounod's mind ap pears to us to be incapable of that grasp of a go verning and predominating train of thought Which is even more essential in the music of the church than in that of the theatre, where transitional emo tion is frequently the chief characteristic. The Masa of Gounod, apart from the absence of any signs df such study of great models as has always been held essential for the formation of &church com poser, is deficient both in elevation and seriousness of style), and in any such marked character or pre dominant beauty as would compefisate for the absenos,of higher qualities —as, for instance,' in Itoesini's Stabat Mater, the exquisite grace and beautyS distinctness and finish of which largely atone for the absence of profounder qualities. The opening " Kyrie" of Gounod's Maas, with its simple, commencing unisonoua phrase, has a tran quil grace, with , some good effects of contrast between the solo voices and chorus ; but the move ment is much too prolonged in its purposeless in definiteness, and the chief figure of the orchestral accompaniment, the series of chords in the stringer! instruments, is reiterated to a tiresome excess. The " Gloria," usually a movement of impertaitt development, has the same character of indefiniteness and want of any distinct . predomi natintfirain of thought. Therdevied or making the chorus murmur, with closed lips, the accom panying harmonies to the soprano solo is out of place in such a situation, and is an imitation of what has been done with much better effect, and with more propriety, by Auber in the " Breeze " song in his Haydee. At the words " Laud emus Te "we are led to expect something like treatment and development of a subject, in which, however, we are disappointed.

Israel in Egypt, presented a remarkable confine. The chorus, whichduring the Mass had shown some signs of the fatigue that might be expected after so many exhausting performances, seemed roused by the music of Israel into a display of choral singing equal to any of those previous admi rable efforts which we have already recorded. The marvellous double choruses of this oratorio were never more finely sung than on this occasion. The soprano solos were assigned to Madame lommens•Sherrington, who gave her principal air, " Thou didst blow," with her usual finish of style. Madame Sainton-Dolby, who was the solo contralto, sang the air, " Their land brought forth frogs," and .they incidental pieces, in the same excellent style that has characterised her many previous performances of the same music. Mr. Sims Reeves gave the air, " The enemy said," with his usual vocal finish and declamatory power, some applause (soon hushed, however), and a sign from the noble president for its repetition, fol lowing its close. This intimation, however, was not attended to, from what cause we are unaware, since it seem, to be the established usage at the morning performances not only to suppress all signs of publin applause, but also to kite the iiiaiiive'o64it ei 'aeon le the president of the festival. The great duet for two basses, " The Lord is a Man of War," capitally sung (as as Hereford last week, and on many pre vious occasims) by Mr. Bentley and Mr. Weiss, received the usual sign for repetition, and was re peated accordingly. Mdlle. Talons (who shared, with Madame Lemmens-Sherrington the duet "The Lord is ray strength ") again prodnoed a profound impression by her emphatic delivery of that mar vellous phrase " Sing ye to the Lord," so grand and impressive in its noble simplicity—as she did in the same passage at Hereford. • The pirformance of the whole oratorio (which was' giVen with Mr. Costa's additional accompaninients) was an ex ceedingly fine one—the special predoininance in Dumber and importance of the choral effects over the solos serving well to exhibit those admirable qualities of the Birmingham chorus to which we have several times adverted.

COSTELLO, M.D.—The author of the fragmen " Encyclopiedia of Surgery" tary had so long quitted the profesaional society of London that he probably had passed out of the remembrance of many who may yet recollect the appearance of the first numbers of that work. Dr. Costello had during the latter years of his life withdrawn entirely from the practice of his profes sion, and had resided in Paris. lie was born in Dublin in 1800. His professional studies were partly prosecuted abroad, where he was a pupil of the great lithotritist, Baron Heurteloup, and on his return to England be practised with suooesa the then new operation of lithotrity in Lon don. We believe that he has the merit cl being, if not the first, one of the first who performed the operation In this country. Dr. Costello was for some time proprietor of the Wyk.: House Asylum for the Insane , Breathed, and pub lished an able paper on the " Reform and Management of Lunatic Asylums." He will be remembered, however, principally by his " Surgical Cyclopredia"—• work which only a man of talent and vast resources would ever have contemplated. The first part appeared in 1841, and 12 parts were all that be produced- Cireunistances do not seem to have favoured the completion of the undertaking, and the author relinquished it. But the early numbers were of great promise. Dr. Costello died in Paris on the 15th inst.—Al edict, 1 Times and Gazelle. PROMPT DEALING WITH RITYALISM.—A large and influential meeting was held last week at Atberstone. to consider the introduction of novelties in the parish church by the incumbent. The first resolution was :-- "That this meeting views with alarm and regret the un authorised alteration in the communion table in St. Mary's Church, and the introduction of objectionable decorations ; and that the churchwards be and are hereby authorised and required to remove the 'super-altar ,' and to restore the communion-table, with its covering, to the state it was in at the consecration of the church by the bishop on its restoration." The next resolution was :—" That this meeting authorises and requires the churchwardens to re move the brackets affixed to the walls of the church for the reception of banners—and to take away any banners, crosses, candlesticks, ilower.vases, or other objectionable decorations which may have been introduced into the ser vice of the church at or after Easter, 1860, and to retain the same in their custody until the bishop's pleasure is ascertained in regard thereto." The last resolution was:— " That this meeting protests against the preaching of doc trines and principles antagonistic to and subversive of the protestant church of England at the parish church ; and also against the pulpit being made the vehicle of personal and slanderous abuse on parishioners in the exercise of their legal rights." The whole of these resolutions were were carried unanimously, and one of the churchwardens in accordance with them, has since removed the objection able ornaments of the church. THE LIBERAL PARTY IN LEEDS. —A meeting between a deputation of the Leeds branch of the Reform League and the committee of the Leeds Liberal Registra tion Society took place on Wednesday evening, for the purpose of considering the following points :-1. The pos sibility of establishing a union of the different sections of the liberal party, consistently with the retention by each of its own peculiar views. 2. To organise united action for the purpose of securing an efficient registration of liberal electors. i. To mature combined action among the same for the purpose of returning liberal candidates to parliament. Mr. F. Baines occupied the chair. A AM mission of an animated nature took place on the various points under consideration, and a resolution moved by Mr. Raines, M.P., and seconded by Mr. Alderman Carter, was unanimously adopted, expressing the opinion of the meet ing that the co•openition of all shades and divisions of liberals in Lerida was quite practicable. and that any IDVD bee of the liberal party, without relinquishing partieular views, could work with the party in general for the props gation of the great principles of civil and religions liberty. A cordial vote of thanks was given to Mr. Baines for at tending the meeting.

HOLIDAY TRAVEL.—There is, therefore, not only a profound necessity for holidays, but reason equally good why we can never bike our holillive at home. We sot only require rest, but change ; and not only change of attitude or change of work, but change in our ..sound ings and in the impressions we are receiving from them. This is not only the law of the body's wholeness, but of the mind's health. The brain, like the stomach. is dis gusted if it always has the sante work to do et the same material to work on. The nerves, like the muscles, of sameness, and must have the ,'tress of labour shifted and the continuity of impression broken. Hot the law of association ties us in this also to the mill-home round. In the same scenes the same thoughts come Wok, and among the same circumstances we ale away* rc.:urring to the mime cares. A men of business caneot throw business off him till he has left his emoting-home. A student cannot sit in his library and forget his books. A d oc t or cannot ignore his patients, nor a preacher his cougregation, while be is rurron nded by eve rything that reminds him of them. To beget lifele ordinary activities, we must turn our becks its ordi nary scenes. There is no life in which there is not some fret, or worry, or anxiety, or care ; in moat lives there is mock of them, and it is fret which weer* us. 131.0 which kills us.

A kind of necessity ie upon cc, even at home, much more in our spheres of ditty or activity, and all continuous necessity Is a strain. But wo get rid of all this as soon as we get away (ore the aripociations which bring it. There is a joyful sense of lightness whoa we have got clear away which never comes while we are amid our responsibilities. A feeling of irresponsibility, of ha m emancipation from effort and constraint, of deliverance from anxiety and care, of happy end exultant liberty. is the really glorious and refreshing thing in holiday travel. —From ' Off for the Holidays," fa the Conaill Magenne for September.
