LITERATURE. Hiaory of tA• Constitwera Assembly. By Atm:ions DR LAYARTINE. London : Piper, Stevenson, and tiptoe.. Foe a Frenchman no more fitting theme can be found then the first French Revolution: and to a Frenchman of the present time the subject is one of peculiar importance. From the iron despotism under which the great heart of France languishes tad dies, it must be grateful to turn away to that time when the people, maddened by ages of wrong, me up and swept away every trace that could re mind them of the accursed past. The story is now an old one, but it is one of which the world can sever tire, and its fruit we are reaping, and shall reap, for centuries to come. It is true that reactioa came, as it always does, after extreme effort; that bright hopes were disappointed; that in time deeds of blood were done, at which all Europe shuddered; and that now there is less freedom of thought and action in France than there was when the Bastille was thrown down—when the chivalrous Lafayette became the guardian of an ancient monarchy—when in the Constituent Assembly Mirabeau, in words of fire, proclaimed the rights of man; yet full well can we understand and appreciate the motives that impelled Lamartine to undertake his present task. There are times when the man of action gives him self up to @peen:sties, and when the man who cares least about the past becomes historical. We know why Tulin penned so warm a eulogiron on the virtues of our German ancestors ; why Rabelais con cealed in grotesque fiction an earnest aim; why Ad dison's Cute, one of the dullest dramas ever acted. drew down thunders of applause; or Rousseau be came immortal b 7 his pictures of the noble savage, as he ran wild in him native woods ; nor can we doubt that Laznartine, as he writes of the First Re velator' a, sad tke Comaterest Assembly, and the fines dems,thinks dams not quite so remote, and aims to revive a spirit tot long extinct. We cannot say that he adds vary mush to the information we already pewees, nor is his philosophy very profound; bat there is • great charm in his picturesque and flowing narrative, and his sympathies are holiest and true. Lamartine thus sums up TRZ 131101 A OF Tit OONSTITVTNT ASIZMILT.

For instance, speaking of the death of Mirabeau, Lamartine writes, "A dissipated youth, as he him self said, had disinherited him from a ripe old age." Well, that was a fair reason why Mirabeau should die prematurely ; bat Lamartine must say fine things. Accordingly he tells us " eloquence is a force which wears out the man who produces it;" " great orators rarely see long days ;" " speaking devours them, as in the ease of Chatham end Mira bean." Now, in the sober light of fact, it really appears that great orators live as long u ordinary rase. Oar Lyndhurets and Broughams, who we in mor hearts believe made much better speeches than Chatham—who, if Tom Moore be right, was a bit of a humbug after all—have attained an age which most men would admit borders on elderly. O'Con nell was not a stripling when he died. But a few lines farther on, we have another theory for the death of Mirabeau A revolutiosary generation is old or mown down before it arrives at man's estate. No one had personified the revolution more than Mirabeau; no one would feel more the internal combustion of it. This man was caleined by the Are of the age." It is said of a certain domestic animal that it has nine lives; according to Lamar tine, Mirabeau must have had almost as many. Seeserit ;an Astrowanifia Briossiet. By C. lAZZI SKY TR. London : veil RAMPTIII. " The world is too much with us," Wordsworth writes. For a wonder, the man of science agrees with the poet. What he wants is a clearer atmo sphere, where our cloud and dust and fog exist not ; where are I catatellatians taming, mellow reacts sod happy Nearly 130 years ago Sir haw Newton painted out the driadvantages of employing telescopes in inch as atmosphere se the English ; and in May, 18543, the Lords of the Admiralty, under the advice of the Astronomer Royal,were pleased to select Mr. Smyth to proceed to the Peak of Teneriffe, to ascertain how firstroecenical observations can be improved by eliminating the lower third part of the atmosphere. Mr. Robert Stephenson kindly lent his yacht Titania for the purpose of conveying Mr. Smyth to hie destination ; and the July and August of that year were spent by Mr. Smyth at a height of from 11,000 to 10,000 feet in the pursuit of his minion. The remelt is the very interesting volume before as, the attraction of which is by no means confined to scientific readers. Hie voyage out—his hospitable reception at Santa Crtis—the manners and customs of the people—the chamber of their tradrs—are fidly described. Mr. Smyth', illubratiens, beinxiscierso graph., are, of course, literal, and ow* to the embellishments of the artist, and hie have the some genuine character. The are half Spanish—the living wie not bad. . yth writes :—" On September 20, in • luxurious tem persture of 74 deg., at • table decorated with heaps of glorious figs, richly ripe mulberries, bowls of fra grant honey. cup. of chocolate whipped up into froth displaying all the colours of the rainbow,irc. we break fasted in Orotava." And the island . oughito be in a prosperous condition, for since the vines perished the cochineal plant has been successfully cultivated, and " an acre of the driest ground planted with cactus was found, we were told, to yield three kintaL, that is 3001b5., of cochineal ; un de r favourable circus etanora, 11001bs., worth 751. to the grower." The personal narrative of life on the Peak is very novel and exciting.

At Alta vista, to which Mr. Smyth afterwards moves, he in vain sought the phenomenon recorded by Hum boldt of the lateral oscillations of stars near the horizon. Mr. Smyth seems to have little faith in travellers. A clever author, at Erzeronm, only 7,500 feet high, describes that eggs took there hs did not know how long to have merely their whites Axed, and that boiling water did not scald him. Mr. Smyth thinks this all moonshine. Such writer's imaginations are in teo active a condition to adhere elessly to matter of fact. Similarly, be tells ns that as to the alleged sickness, feverish pulse, bleeding at eyes sad den from the nuitled air, "be felt nothing of the sort.' The dryness of the air seems to have unpleasantly affected the hands and faces and Hea— t* have shrunk up the corks in the bottles—and to have destroyed the cohesive properties of the glue ; but these seem to have been all the inconvenienoes experienced. Mr. Smyth seems to have enjoyed himself ; all classes in the island seem to have as sisted him to the utmost of their power, and his nar rative will delight many a stay-at-home traveller. As an accurate observer, and as a bona fide reporter, we cannot speak too highly of Mr. Smyth. We only add that the scientific account was read before the Royal Society, on the 2nd of June, 1867, and mother and uncle, if you ever reach your deennation ; but that is problematical in the highest dares. Tie think of , travelling erne& of a hundred •adhrty mllae, to thedepth of winter, le unlaces, •kaalnts madam I Good bye." In the ►tage are soma travellers, who ell get mewed op.

Mr. Hopwood, • com mercial traveller, who helps to detect the villains of Baker— and Mark Foster, eon of Sidney's guardian, and lover of her sister Geraldine. Mid:names fall .pen the family ; the uncle dies and leans all his property to the:mother ; then she dies, and a lawsuit puts Baker in possession of the property belonging to the Elliott., whereupon Genhllne, the haughty beauty, sells herself to • rich husband, and Harold's lady love leaves him for another. But by the aid of Mr. Hop wood and an old servant of the family, It is shown that the marriage of Baker was a pretended one, behaving really mar ried a airier of Mrs. Elliott, who had preserved the Beret through life. Sidney, rich and happy, marries her sailor cousin, Mark Foster, who has long been cured of hie love for Geraldine, and Harold, under the guidance of • young lady, Margaret Stratton, who improves wonderfully upon acquaintance, becomes • nodal and energetic man. Mrs. Hubback writes unaffectedly, and her pictures are delicately drawn. If we were inclined to be critical, we would object to the ear against strong-minded femalee—• sneer which comes with en ill grace from • clever woman ; and we would rasa against the treatment of Hopwood, the commercial gent. He was • powerful ally to the Hiltons in regaining the property they had let, and deserved their warmest thanks. Instead, he was barely tolerated by the Elliott. and their friends. Hopwood may have been • very vulgar man: in some circles all people conoseted with trade are imppoesd to be sue ; but the Elliott badly were under greet ebilgatioss to him, sod their orintonanotts treatment use quite as vulgar se anything he could say or do. The Iva thigars ; or, Picterms of • Court. By Mrs. Ro•anT CASTWAIONT. In two volumes. London . 3. F. Hope. A petty German court is not • very interesting subject, and requires greater akill in depicting its incongruities than Mrs. Cartwright appears to ponces. The heroine Penis, Countess Von Brtumeadorf, is the daughter of • nobleman of the Ukraine, whence she has to fee as a child, in conse quence of the Cossack Invasion. At her uncle's maidens, in Berlin, she meets her future husband, tint minister at the wart of the Grand Doke of X, and here she witnesses the usual Intrigue*, and superintends the education of the two princesses. As to the truthfulness' of the pictures of • court, it is not for humble critics like ourselves to speak. All that we can do is to sympathise with the distress of Fedora, whose husband is sent to Siberia, and to shed a tear over the unfortunate end of the Princess Thiele, whose hus band, • Russian prince, is a most ineligible petty.

The Life of Mahomet, and History of Islam, to the Bra of the Hegira. By . WILLIAM Mum, Esq. Two vols. London : Smith, Elder, and Co. Plutarch (so says . Montaigne) had rather we should applaud his lodgment than commend his knowledge. Mr. Mau., we should imagine, is quite of a contrary opinion. We have here a section of the life of Mahomet, but so laden with notes and dissertations,so spun out and wire-drawn,u to make us thankful that Gibbon was ignorant of the Orien tal authorities Mr. Muir his found time studiously to hunt up and elaborately to quote. The work was undertaken, and the study of Oriental authorities first entered upon, writes our author, at the instance of the Rev. C. G. P. Pander, D.D., who urged that a biography of the prophet of Islam, suitable for the perusal of his followers, should be compiled in the indostanee language, from the early sources, acknowledged by themselves to be authentic and authorotative. To the English reader acquainted with the fiftieth chapter of Gibbon, after all, Mr. Muir offers little new. Gibbon thinks that Mshomet was subject to epilepsy-4 ealumny of the Greek. Mr. Muir believe, that such was She fact. Gibbon laughs at the idea of Mahomet, when a boy of thirteen, travelling in Syria, finding the materials out of which to frame the Koran. Mr. Muir believes he did.. With his usual sneer, Gibbon suspects that Mahomet secretly smiled at the enthu siasm of his youth and the credulity of his proselytes. Mr. Muir argues that " Mahomet was sincere, that it would be against the analogy of his entire life to suppose a continuing sense of fraud, a consciousness that the whole was a fabrication of his own mind, an imposition upon his followers, an impious assumption of the name of the Almighty." In con clusion, let us say that Mr. Muir is more theological than biographical, and his discussion of the Koran and its souress, whether Christian or Jewish, com prises pretty well all that may be said upon the question. Undoubtedly the research of the author has been very groat. The Seage aid the Otapesey. A Novel. By Mae Hrs. BACi. Is Wk. London Murk; J. Skeet.

(From the Bow) The Bowring episode of last year was repeated laid night, under the had of Mr. Milner Gibson, with the manse coalition of parties and the mune samosa That gentle man's censure of government for not having sent a written reply to Count Waialeale(' s despatch. wan curled by a majo rity of 19, the numbers being 215 for the original motion, 234 against. it. The consequences of such a division must be serious, :probably more so than the majority has thought flt to estimate. We forbear to anticipate the d ec i s i on o f go- mernment on a point which happens at this moment to affect imperial interests of unspeakable importance ; but it is plain that unless motives of paramount duty should oblige Lord Palmerston to retain office for the present, the simplestcourre would be for him to resign, and leave to the radical and tory factions, who, though diametrically opposed to each other on the bill, have united for the purpose of defeating its ' proposers, the teak of deciding by which of them the govern ment of the country shall be canted on. • • The &bete last night was not on the " Conspiracy to Murder Bill," but on the wholly distinct question—whether Lord Pabnerston should not have given Count Waleweki a written reply to his despatch. Diversions of this sort are so regular a part of our parliamentary tactics that it would bends to object to them, even though in this case the opera tion has been contrary to all precedent. Bat what ought Lord Pearl:eaten to have done? The members on the oppontice benches saw no difficulty in the case. According to Mr. Walpole, Mr. Henley, Mr. Gladstone, Sir R. Peel, mad some others, It would have been the simplest thing in the world to tall the French government that, eery as we were at the Emperor and Empress's fright, and wishing them es lucky the next time their lives were attempted, nevertheless it was no affair of ours. Foreigners of all sorts were welcome to our shore, welcome to come end welcome to go when they like. It was not, however, oar custom to molest them so long as they behaved well, and we did not trouble ourselves about the way in which they might carry out their political quarrels with their own countries. We felt it more important to primarve the tight of asylum, and, whether the thing asked was right or wrong, the British people must respectfully but firmly aKailll to go out of its way to please Napoleon 111. Such ea sower, properly passed through the Circumlocution _ office, and Put into 'good, lurd,exasperating diplomatic English, might not, indeed, have pacified Louis Napoleon, but it would have had the far more important effeot of prov- Mg to the whole world, the French among them, what very plucky people the English were, and bow little they feared either God or man. No doubt the popular feelings rather incline to this course. We cannot, however, pub quite out of consideration that Lord Pabnenton wee reepenaible for the course to be taken, and he might possibly prefer cue which would not alienate the good feelinga of the French Emperor and people, and perhaps bring us into serious colli sion' with them. No doubt, Lord Palmerston did take that view of the cue, end, with all due deference to Mr. Milner Gibson, it wu at least natural, if not entirely per donable. • • The real question last night was whether Lord Palmerston had or had not maintained the honour of his country in his recent oommunicatione with the French government, and the house, by a majority of 19, has, for the present, decided that he bad not. (From the MorniNg Post.) Last night the government was defeated on the Conspiracy to Murder Bill by a majority of nineteen, the numbers being two hundred and fifteen and two hundred and thirty-four. It will be recollected that stout this time lest year the Man chester peaty brought forward the Chinese resolution, which ended in a similar defeat of the government. Mr. Milner Gibson, who then acted with Mr. Cobden, scpears to have acquired great skill in the art of manufacturing "coalitions." Ten days ego the Haase of Commons affirmed the prin ciple of the hill by a majority of two hundred—a majority to which the Conservative party largely contributed, and lest night, with no new Lite disclosed, and with no new arguments adduced, two hundred and thirty-four honourable gentlemen were found ready to reverse their former deaden. The country will be at a loss to account for this most extra ordinary, sudden, and unaocountable Inconsistency. Bat Mr. Gibson's policy can be easily understood. His advocacy of the Chinese insults to England very properly led to his astrachan from Manchester; and during his temporary retire ment, pondering upon the fleeting nature of thopopular voice, he speedily discovered that the crotchets of the pesos party were not Llely to lead him again into parliament. But Ashton his remedied the punishment which Manchester bad indicted; the right hon. gentleman hue now had an oppor tunity of insidiously concocting a ooalition, the inevitable result of which moat be to embroil this country with France.' The result of the division of lad night can only be re garded as a menace and a threat on the part of the Com mons of England to a loyal and faithful ally, who has simply relied on the justice of this country to supply • defect in Its laws which the attempt of the Itch of January had rendered disgracefully apparent. In spite of the asser tion which is made by Lord Palmerston and the Attorney- General, that the bill of the government had been prepared before the mosdpt of Count Walewski's despatch, the coali tionists, the conservatives, the men of the Manchester school, and the old whigs, of whom young Mr. Byng may be taken se a sample, voted in favour of a resolution the result of which will be to leave the English law in this state—that Allsop, • British subject, if captured, may be hanged, and Bernard, • foreigner, who is already in custody, can only receive the insignificant and inadequate punishment of fine and imprint sent. The responsibility of the consequences of this division must rest upon the heads of those who, for the purposes of faction, have imperilled the best interests of that country, the honour of which they would sustain by covering the attempts of the coospirator and easamin. A meeting of the cabinet will to held this day, at which ministers will decide upon their future course. Tram the Moslem Herald) - - - - _ Lord Palmersion's oonduct throughout this palatal affolr has been moat =gracious. Not only hes he given a shock to the alliance between France end England, and caused ill- haling to Grime in the minds of the inhabitants of both coun tries, but he has lowered England in the eyes of the world. And this is the minister who ie henceforward, we are told by his admirers, to be master of India. Because he has failed, and failed lamentably, in his method of oceducting affairs with neighbouring states, parliament is to entrust him with additional powers, and thus to render secure the despotism that it dreads. The majority of last night gives an em phatic denial to this impeachment. Its signification is not in the laut degree involved ; the Premier himself confessed that the meaning was Intelligible enough. No man understands better than Lord Palmerston the purport of a vote of the House of Commons. "It is plain," said this groat authority, "that if the home, after a fall and delibe rate discuesion, prefers the amendment to the proposal, that the bill be mad $ second time, then am be but one interpre tation put upon such a decision." Admirable sagacity The cheers with which that carfsmion was moaned showed that the dictatorship was at an end. For once Lord Palmer ston was right ; the House of Commons really had platted hie demised In his hands. There could be no doubt about the matter. It was done after due reflection and deliberation, and the weakest al wash edministrations has perished . . . ably in an inglorious meek (Prom tbs Preis.)

Government had or had not done their duty in leaving Count Walewski's despatch unanswered. The decision of that point involved no rejection of the bin before the house. Lord Palmerston replied, and this reply was remarkable. It commenced in coarse bluster, centered in invective, and ended in a piteous appeal. Hie tone was that of false confidence, while his air betrayed defeat. The house then divided, and the opinion of Parlia ment reeorded in a majority of nineteen against the Govern. meat. There never was a Tote leas tormented by party feelings, and the enthusiastic cheers of both aides of the house bore witness to the sincerity by which the announce ment:was regarded.

THE CHARGE AGAINST THE REV. S. SMITH AND as Wm.-Nothing of • positive nature has transpired to solve the mystery in which the mat violent outrage, caw muted by the Rev.
