This is the season in which the inhabitants of this island perform their annual exodus. The call of fashion is imperious : movement becomes necessary to life, and the restlessness displayed by swallows in September is exhibited a month previously by every one who claims to be fashionable, we had almost said respectable. In the fresher and perhaps lovelier months of the year, when the birds are in full cong, when the orchards are laden with blossoms and the fields and hedgerows bright with beauty, London is the only place in which existence is supportable. In May and June we prefer Hyde-park to Devon shire, and the view (after dinner) from the Star and Garter at Richmond to the grandest scenery of the Highlands. We leave the country then to ignorant rustics and ill-conditioned semi-civilized gentlemen, but at the close of the season the poetry of our nature periodically bourgeons. We cry out for mountain air or woodland solituOos, we study BRADSHAW and MURRAY, we revive oar French and German—somewhat rusted, perhaps, from want of use—and we exhibit a most unmis takeable aversion to our ordinary habits and haunts. It is well in this toil-weary world for all who can thus escape awhile from their cares—well for the intellect, for the bodily health, and well assuredly for the temper. Travel however, like all other pursuits or recreat'ons, needs to be entered upon advisedly if we would gain from it its full benefit. There is one prevalent delusion about it which it would be doing good service to remove. Englishmen are apt to imagine that a foreign tour must under almost all circumstances be more desirable than a tour in their own coun try, that the further they travel from their native land the greater must be the pleasure, and the more complete the change. They who hold this belief are, we think, utterly mistaken. They have imbibed a vulgar error, and retain it as tenaciously as if it were an article of faith. No doubt foreign travel has many and great advantages. Homely wits may with some justice be attributed to home keeping youths. By visiting other nations we learn our own deficiencies, we increase our stock of knowledge, we lose the angularity which per tains to us as islanders, we gain broader views and more generous sympathies. All this, and much more, may be gained even if we keep along the well-worn macadamized track of continental tourists. But then in the greater number of cases these possibilities of improvement cannot be realized. We receive but what we give, and the average Englishman who prides himself upon " doing" the lions of Europe at railway speed is not likely to be wiser or happier for his pains. He spends, per haps, a hundred pounds instead of fifty, and ima gines that he has reaped a corresponding advan tage ; yet it is probable that by seeing less and spending less he would have returned more con tented and more richly laden. Neither art nor nature can bo apprehended at a glance. The beauty which abides with us, and becomes as it were a part of our being, must be gazed at lovingly and at leisure. We must dwell for some space in ita pre sence, until it stirs the imagination and touches the heart. It has been truly said that it is the chance felicities in minor things that are so pleasant on a journey ; but of these stray pleasures the hasty traveller knows nothing. It has been truly said also that foreign travel is • part of education, but then it can never form the preliminary part. COWPER, the poet, has a well known passage in which he describes a stupid youth making the tour of the Continent, and then returning only to show How much a dunce that has been sent to Rome Excel. a dunce that has been kept at borne. But if travelling abroad is of no service to fools, it demands to be of much service to sound and liberal culture ; and even where this culture is possessed, we hold, with the wise and witty Titoman leint.rn, that a man should be familiar with his own country before going over the threshold. There is beauty enough, there is variety enough in this island to satisfy the traveller, enough to stimulate the mind and to gladden the eye. For simple rural charms England is unequalled by any European country. Where else will you find such pleasant homesteads, such picturesque cottages, such green meadows and park-like uplands, such shady lanes, or such well-stocked and carefully tended farms! The land in the tamer parts of the country is like a garden, marked, indeed, everywhere with man's handiwork, yet full also of natural grace and un adorned loveliness. And for those who desire it there is scenery of a higher order in Westmore land and Cumberland—mountains and lakes ; in Devonshire and Cornwall a noble sea coast, as well an a magnificent inland country ; in Yorkshire, dale and moor scenery, said to be only excelled by certain portions of the Spanish Pyrenees ; while the tourist, without leaving the United Kingdom, will find in Wales, in the Scotch High lands, and in the south and west of Ireland scenery which to know as it deserves to be known would require months of travel. But if there THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 20, 181 were less of natural beauty in Great Britain than there is it would be scarcely less worthy of our regard. Topography is the handmaid of history. If we would know accurately what our great men have done we must visit the spots they have made famous by words or deeds. There is not an Eng lish county which has not won for itself a page in our annals, there is scarcely a parish which has not given birth oreducationto some illustrious man. Open any one of Mr. MURRAY'S admirable handbooks for tho home counties and a glance at the index will show how rich in historical and literary associations are even the smallest divisions of the country. Look, for example, at Surrey, which may be regarded as a suburb of the metropolis, and is but forty miles in breadth and twenty-seven in length. This little space is literally crowded with spots which genius or patriotism have made immortal. Here have been the homes of popular poets, of great states men, of illustrious philosophers and histo rians. The names of COWLEY, For; and THOMSON, of Pm? and Fox, of ABRA HAM TUCKER and GIBBON, of Sir WILLIAM TEMPLE, and " Sylva" EVELYN, are but a few among many almost equally familiar whose memo ries are associated with this county. Moreover, I the county itself, as many of our readers know, is rich in rural beauty. Let any one who doubts this, walk leisurely from Leatherhead to Dorking, and from Dorking to Guildford, diverging from the direct route to visit Norbury Park and Botch worth Park, to ascend Boxhill, Leith Hill, and St. Martha's, to linger in the Vale of Albury, or in the pleasant fir forest of Abinger. All this lies, be it remembered, at our very door ; but, because it is so near, it is apt to be neglected. We don't care for what is attained too easily. We prefer long journeys and great discomforts ; we admire most that which it costs us most to see. In urging the pleasures and advantages of home travel, it may be said that we have undertaken a superfluous task. This, however, is not the case. Thanks in great measure to Sir WALTER Scorr, a Highland tour is no doubt popular and fashionable. Thanks to CHRISTOPHER NORTH, WORDSWORTH, and Ds QUINCEY, the lake district is covered every autumn with crowds of eager tourists. Neither Wales nor Ireland can be said to be neglected, and the swarms of loungers at our sea-side haunts seem to afford a palpable contradiction to our weer tion that home scenes are comparatively unheeded. But if the fever of travel impels hasty excur sionists along a few celebrated tracks, it is often to the neglect of the general and more characteristic features of the country, while the idlers who dream away their vacation at Harrogate or Whitby, Brighton or Worthing, know of nothing beyond the little space around their favourite watering-place which they cover in a daily walk or ride. They are not necessarily better acquainted with England than the man who finds it advisable to make a temporary sojourn at Boulogne is ac quainted with France. To know England well we must for a time leave behind us the great centres of intellectual and commercial activity, as well as the spots which are yearly lionized by excursionists, and the retreats sacred to scandal and ennui. We must traverse the country after the manner of our forefathers, on horseback or on foot. We must follow by-roads or sequestered lanes, and sleep at wayside inns. We must mingle sometimes with rustics, so that we may understand their grievances and appreciate their pleasures. We must gather up that know ledge which is hardly to be won from books—we must see with our eyes and hear with our ears. He who in this way makes a home tour will not only enjoy the charm of novelty, but can scarcely fail to return back to city life wiser for the lessons he has learnt. He will find his curiosity stimu lated, he will be a better patriot and a sounder politician. The knowledge he may gain will prove of permanent service, and it is probable he will derive at least as much enjoyment from the ex cursion as the tourist who has managed to scour Europe in six weeks, who has been bored with the necessity of seeing innumerable lions, and has paid extravagantly for the eight. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) vanity and folly and bent upon displaying his accom• plishments to the astonished natives. These peedlliNll, U persevered in, would, it thinks, alienate a large pesportion of the middle class from the church of Rog land. Writing on the ravages of the cholera in Italy, the Times lays it knows of no country out of Rome and its de pendencies in which an immondezzoio or filth-heap at the _ _ corner of every street is kept up as a national institution. All over the South of Europe, in some of the French de partments, and throughout Spain and Italy, the same con tempt for sanitary measures, the same disregard for the common decencies of life, are observable ; but still the very centre of all uncleanliness is Rome, and habits unworthy of human beings linger longest among a population most helplessly placed under sacerdotal guidance. The phenomenon is not that the choler► should break out with deadly virulence in such places as Albano, Frascati, Tivoli, Subiaco, Palestrins, &c., in the intense heat of the summer—the wonder is that this and all other plagues should not feel at home in the midst of all that filth at every season of the year. Rome will stick to her fatalist faith to the end of time. She will, as she has done, stoutly deny the existence of the pestilence till the country is turned into • charnel house—acknowledge it when it has gained the upper band, and there is nothing to be done but succumb to it—and then, upon the first symptom of relief, go back to her old ways, equally in capable of learning from the past or providing for the future. If the balance of power is to be recovered, it is Austria, and Austria only, in the opinion of the Poet, that should be strengthened, as she might be, to the public advan tage and the security of the Ottoman empire, by a rectifi. cation of her eastern frontiers. Russia and Prussia can afford the compens►tion, and the visit to Salzburg is in itself an acknowledgment of what Is due from France to an impoverished country and a bereaved family. The Telegraph devotes an article to the decision of Mr. Knox, who lately sent more than a doses of the members of the tailors' union for trial. The tailors need not to be told, says the Telegraph, that it is the friend of their order; still it declares that the police magistrate did no more than his duty, for the tailors had gone distinctly beyond their legal right. The leading oracle columns of the Herald and Stamford are devoted to a review of the session. Otte Court. WINDSOR CASTLE, Aram. 19.

THE BRITISH CAPTIVIS IN ABYSSINIA. —Dr. Beke, the African explorer, has written to the Timm on the 17th inst. as follows :—" I would ask you to give pub !kitty to the following extracts from letters from Consul Cameron, dated Magdala, June 6 and 18. In the former he says We are fairly cut off from Gaffat. None but armed parties of about 200 men can make their way through the rebels. We have not heard born the King since Flarl's a._ival. . . . .

The peasantry between this and Debra Tabor are furious, as the soldie'a killed were their kinsmen. They cut the throat of evonyone without exception, so as to prevent communic..tion between this and the King. camp. As the rainy se-wan has set in, no human being can calculate what our position will be at the close. If, Oa is possible, the road to the oust becomes closed, we must make up our minds to ewes, unless the troops come up sharp. But as long as we have teensy our position in this respect is safe. As regards the Kiln, there can he no mistake about our peril. His &igen are itching to shed white men's blood. The other day we beard be went to the place where the Frenchman Makerer is chained, taxed him with diabovcs:y in wishing to escape from his ser vice, and put a pistol to his head. Makerer begged par don, and told the King that a powerful man should have mercy on the weak. The King said. 'I spare you to-day for your answer., but you will not escape.' He has told the adfat workmen ' too, that if troops come be will make them pay. It is evident that he hai not quite made uphis mind whetter he can kill his workmen or not wish im punity.' All Ws as will be seen, is confirmatory of what is said in the le:ters from Cameron's felloreprieoners. When Consul Can- eron wrote the rainy season had just set in, but this would not have stopped travelling alto getber. It was in the beginning of July last year that Mr. Ramon and his party accompanied his Majesty on • warlike expedition and they were afterwards sent under • strong guard to Amba Mewl,* where they arrived on the 12th of July, But the time is now at bend when the rains begin to elute ; and on September 26, little more than • mouth hence, is the great festival of Minkel (Holy Cross Day, 0. S.), when each mince throughout the empire mu..i.ers and reviews histroops, preparatory to theannual campaign, and military movements sometimes take place even earlier. The pitched battle between Don Christopher da Cams and Ahmed ()Mayo in 1542, was fought in W6ffia, midway be tween Tigre and Magdala, on the 30th of August, being within a fortnight (or if the reckoning was old style, then only three days) of the present date. Let year Theodore remained away from Magdala during the rams. It is only to be hoped that he has done the smoothie year." LATEST INTELLIGENCE. AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA. The felkivring is from the New Free Press of Vienne: The experience of late yeas contains terrible lemon& The peace of Prague has driven Aurtria out of Germany, and It was through the intermediation of France that this result was diplomatically obtained. Let us never forget one thing : that is, that if we have:aceeptod this condition, it is not only that we could not do otherwise, but be cause that course exited Prussia, and especially because Franca willed it. The treaty of Prague was signed, it is true, by Austria and Prussia alone, without France, and that Prussia is, as to form, right when she declares that, in her manner of interpreting the treaty, nobody has anything to do with it but Austria. But however just that may be as to form, it is none the less a perfidy in fact, for Prussia knows very well that Austria Is not in a position to force the Cabinet of Berlin to the strict maintenance of that convention. Even it is certain, that without France, Prussia would long since have trampled under foot that treaty, as she has done the line of the Maine. France is therefore really the most powerful support of the treaty although she did not sign it. Does it follow that Austria, who cannot singly maintain the peace of Prague, ought to seek an ally with whom she can force Prussia to respect her engagements? The latter power having last year formed an alliance with Italy against Austria, we ought not to have any scruple about an alliance with France. The only consideration is for Austria to adopt the course most proper to keep war distant as long as possible. The conclusion of an alliance with no matter what power for the maintenance of the treaty of Prague would only hasten, in our opinion, the conflict instead of conjuring it. If Prussia breaks through the convention, the task falls on those who brought about the arrangement and who boast of it to cause it to be respected. Even if Prussia passes the Maine has Austria more to lose in Germany than she has at present lost ? (ItICITZWIS THE EMPEROR AND EMPRESS OF THE. FRENCH AT SALZBURG. SALZBURG, Atoon 19, Bynum. The relations between the French and Austrian Sovereigns have becomemost intimate. The Emperor Napoleon and the Empress Eugenie are received with acclamations wherever they go. This evening they went to the theatre, the band playing on their arrival the air " La Reine Hortense." The Emperor Napoleon received Baron von Bend yesterday with great cordiality. To-day the minister had an audience of his Majesty, which lasted half an hour. At the interview between the two Emperors pending questions were discussed, and it is said that there is a complete understand ing between the Sovereigns although no formal arrangements have been made. The ex-King of Bavaria is expected here to morrow. SALZBURG, Almon 20. A conference has taken place between Baron von Beuxt, Count Andramay, Prince Metternich, and the Duke de Grammont. The dispositions of the two Sovereigns are con sidered eminently peaceful. All that it is en deavoured to bring about is an understanding rela tive to European questions. After the departure of the two Emperors from Salzburg conferences will be held between the leading ministers of the French and Austrian Cabinets in order to define the results of the preliminary discussions which have taken place there. Herr von Backe, the Austrian Minister of Finance, has been summoned from Vienna by the Emperor Francis Joseph, in order, it is believed, to draw up a report upon the progress of the negotia tions between the conference of delegates for the settlement of the financial relation between Hungary and the rest of the empire.

Referring to the party fights on Thursday last between the Roman catholic, and Orangemen in the north of Ireland, the Times appeals to the leaders, and says that gentlemen of position and education ought to be ashamed of lending the lase! countenance to these fatal feuds. They know perfectly well that the circumstances which may have rendered Orangeiam excusable h►ve long passed away, and that the annual proceedings of the society, if not the society itself, are but • mischievous reminiscence of evil timer. If they continue to belong to such an sesocistica they ought to insist on the absolute abandonment of these obnoxious customs. One side must make a beginning in • better order of things, and the initiative would surely come with the best grace from the Orangemen, who, by their own boast, have long ago achieved so many "glorious" victories. In the same sense the Star says that the gentlemen who encourage this " fancy " are responsible for the acts of their dupes. IS TOPICS. The Daily News thinks that a great mistake is made if the tory party imagine that by getting rid of reform they have got rid of the only awkward question, and points to that of education es one which the country will imw distely demand the solution of. Any man who looks around him must see that the question now is not whether it is wise or expedient to provide education, but simply what an the best means of providing education for all cisme. That schools must be provided is inevitable : the only question that remains is, how can this beet be done? The Daily Bess approved; of what is being done by the gentry and the high church party of Sussex in establishing cheap schools, to which clerks and persons of moderate mauls may send their sons to be boarded and taught at 14 guineas a year, and admits the right of the patrons and subscribers even to lay down the startling dogma that in order " to be religious it must have the mewing spirit of the beloved church of England." But such a system can never meet the wants of the English people. Their chief desire is to have their children taught useful knowledge in the schools, and they are prepared to send them wherever that instruction can be obtained, provided, of course, they are not compelled to accept such religious teaching as they do not approve of. These are the only principles upon which a national system is practicable and any system in which they are not embodied should at once be cast aside. Alluding to the Report of the Ritual Commission about to be issued, the Tints says it believes that the first report, which deals with the question of mile ' siastical vestments, will be decidedly adverse to the practices which have been lately brought into vogue by a section of the clergy. It expresses satisfaction at this result. Not that it contends that every cathedral, every parish or district church, *vet/ col lege chapel should be reduced to an uniformity of worship. The religious tastes of devout peoplo vary very much, according to age, sex, and education. It is often found that clever, tasteful women of the higher classes have • strong tendency towards an elaborate ritual. A rather weak kind of young man is a good deal given to the same opinions. Besides these, there are • great number of educated people who, without much theologi cal bias, like choral services and a richly-dressed altar. Were the excesses of the ritualists confined to • few exceptional churches in large towns, we might view them with tolerance. But any parish in the kingdom may be placed at the mercy of an ignorant young man, full of AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE CIMBRIA. IN, AvouuT 20 .

Lest night and early this morning the metro polls was visited with a thunder storm of a most violent character. It commenced soon after ten o'clock, and lasted about an hour. Soon after one o'clock it came up again, apparently from the south or south-east, and for nearly two hours the streets were illuminated by light ning more vivid and rapid than is often seen in this country. The thunder was incessant, but, except to wards the close of the storm, not remarkably loud. The rain fell in torrents. The lightning, which was both sheet and forked, was of a pale blue colour. The damage which has been done cannot at present be estimated. At Barton the lightning struck Tweeddale Lodge, where a con servatory was smashed to pieces. Other damage is re ported from Camberwell and Streatham. At the latter place a waggon was being driven along the road towards London, when one of the horses, becoming frightened, began plunging about, as also did two others soon afterwards.

Where the hail—for there was hail during the storm—end rain have not broken the frames and forcing houses they have washed the plants out of the pots. This was also the Gem at Chelsea. A cabman was struck by the lightning about half-past 2 o'clock in Whiteehapel, when driving home, and was removed insensible to the hospital. The various works in connexion with the main drainage of the metropolis wal be partially stopped in oonsequenoe of the storm, all the cuttings being swamped with the rain. The guards of the trains on several of the lines having their termini in the metropolis state that all along the route travelled by them during the night the storm raged fearfully and damage was observed at all points. Moat of the trains were considerably delayed. The New Free Press of Vienna states that in the interview et Salzburg the Emperor Napoleon was to raise the question of transferring the ashes of the Duke de Reichstadt to Paris. That journal adds that his Majesty is convinced he will• not meet with a refusal in making this request to the Emperor Francis Joseph. The death at Leghorn, after a short illness, is sonounoed of If.

Workmen have for some time led been engaged in erecting a female ward within the precincts of gaol,aod in doing so have bed occasion to demolish a portion of the boundary wall which was left in an insecure condition, and which must hags become known to the prisoner who has effected his escape. About 8 o'clock on Monday morning,while the mumps were at breakfast, John M'Carty, who was sentenced at the late borough sessions to seven years' penal servitude for • midnight jewellery robbery in May last ieltee a previous conviction for sacrilege), was taking his morning airing in the parade-ground along with several other returned convicts, being at the time well guarded by two gaolers, when suddenly he threw down his prison cap, took • leap over • low wall into the kitchen area, where he divested himself of his coat and waistcoat, and from thence made his way over come planks and brilding rubbish to an angle of the boundary wall caused by the removal of some brickwork, the projecting bricks of which he scaled with the utmost agility (although by no means a seemingly easy task) to the height of 15ft. From thence his descent into the street was soon effauted, the drop being only about Eft. He was seen to fall and was quickly pursued, but without success , as he made his flight through some bye-lanes and alleys until he was lost sight of. In the meantime, the warder from whose imme diate presence the prisoner had escaped, instead of pur ening him (fearing at the time that the other convicts on parade might make off), gave an alarm by whistle, which was not understood by those in the corridor until M'Carty had made clean off.
