LONDON, THURSDAY, JULY 30. MR. DISRAELI AT THE MANSION-HOUSE. SOCRATES calmly discoursing with his friends before applying the fatal cup to his lips, the stoic suicides of the Roman Empire gossiping philoso phy in their baths as the blood flowed from their open veins, Sir THWIAS MORE jesting on the scaf fold, a Japanese politician quietly winding up his affairs before executing the happy despatch, and whatever else illustrates the moral sub lime, find their parallel in the calm self-possession of Mr. DISRAELI and his colleagues at the Mansion-house. " Aumr, " morituri le setutent," is virtually the language of the dying gladiators of St. Stephen's. We are happy to say that Mr. DISRAELI shows a becom ing sense of his situation. He displays an awakened sense of the shortness and seriousness of political life. He is evidently chastened. His tone is vastly improved. The bluster and boast fulness of his earlier convivial displays, if they have not altogether disappeared, have yet been subdued. There is a pensive melancholy about his reflections, which ex hibits itself with more than common distinctness through the veil of forced cheerfulness and of a courage desperately screwed up to the sticking point, which is thrown over them. He was think ing possibly of the time when Downing -street would know him no more, and other Lord Mayors would entertain other Prime Ministers. The Loan MAYOR participated in the improvement of his chief. It seems now not un likely that by the time he quits his office he will have learned how to conduct himself in it with propriety, and especially how to combine the temperate assertion of his own personal opinions with the neutrality due to his office. Though Mr. DISRAELI'S manner is better than it has recently been, we cannot congratulate him on any improvement in the substance of his speech. Of course we take for granted a good many stilted common-places or ridiculous falsities, delivered as if they were apho risms of the rarest value. Such sayings as " Time brings prudence, economy, " and industry ; " and that " a prolific harvest " is now recognised as the surest source of the " wealth of nations," might be inscribed in the common-place book of Mr. M. F. TtreeEa. Time brings, we admit, pretty nearly every thing which takes place in the world, except the moral qualities which display themselves in it ; and if a man, or a nation, listening to Mr. DNaAirxes words of wis dom, wants to become prudent, econo mical, and industrious, by the more lapse of days and years, the last state of that man or nation will be wars° than tic. ti st• Time has not stayed its course iii Rpain. in (Intact', or in Mexico any more than in England or the United States. As Lord liazxns long age pomted out, time does nothing at all. Forces, op ritual or physical, acting in time riThieve riverythimt which is brought to pass in this wor!l and to rely upon it instead of cultivating them is to imitate the rustic of the fable who waited on the flowing stream, and who hi still waiting on it. Tho economical aphorism is as startling as the moral maxim. " A prolific harvest is now rooognised " as tho surest source of the wealth of nations." A prolific harvest is a part of the wealth of nations, but is certainly not its souroo. If it were so, ADAM SIIII7'H'S treatise on the " Origin of the " Wealth of Nations" should have boon a disqui sition on the rotation of crops and the applioa tiim of manures. Political economy, in Mr. DIS RAELI'S view, is a branch of the art of farming. We leave this characteristic nonsense, without a largo infusion of which no book or harangue of Mr. DISRAELI'S was over made. In the body of his remarks, Mr. DISRAELI utters himself in a lower tone, but in the same koy as of old. If he speaks with bated breath, it is not with whisper ing humbleness, for his whispering is boastful, and ho brags sotto vote. Perhaps his audacity novor went further than it did when ho selected the state of Ireland as one that ought to afford us " the utmost congratulation." On the other side of the Channel this light talk will be felt deeply and resented bitterly. It will be regarded as a cruel and heartless mockery. Even the LORD MAYOR'S guests, in that festive mood in which men are not disposed to be critical of after-dinner speeches, must have felt that they wore being trifled with ; and perhaps to some of them the distant suggestion may have occurred that some slight regard to notorious facts would be becoming in a Prime Minister. Tho Habeas Corpus is still, we believe, suspended in Ireland ; and, though as regards the special danger which Mr. DISRAELI has in sight there has been a lull, per haps as illusive as that which in the beginning of 1867 led Lord DERBY to hint at the possible return to ordinary methods of government, yet all the other signs of discon tent are as abundant as ever. The states man to whom the condition of Ireland meanS no more than the condition of Fenianism—who sees nothingbehind it or beyond it—brands himself with the mark of incapacity. With regard to Foreign Affairs, Mr. Disaszki speaks with just satis faction. The diplomacy of England has been prudentlyandcautiouslyconducted. Lord STANLEY is a Foreign Minister of the highest nega tive excellence. The external relations of England are, as Mr. DISRAELI says for the hundredth time, then most satisfactory, when there is very little to be said upon them. Considering how much Mr. Disasxm has said upon them on previous occa sions, we welcome the remark from him as a sign that the unearthly perfections of Lord STANLEY as a subject of oratory .have been ex hausted. If Mr. Thsaatzu had earlier reeked his own redo, he would have avoided a scandalously unfair attack on the administration of Lord CLAIULNDON, and a not very creditable attempt to explain away misrepresentations that he had not the good sense to retract and apologise for. The rest of Mr. DUIRAELI'S speech is simply, to use a phrase of his own, one vast appropriation clause. It is a cool assumption to himself and his Ministers of the entire credit of measures which they have borrowed from their predecessors in office. The Electric Telegraphs Bill was ready before Lord DERBY came into power. The same may be said of the Court of Chancery Bill. Lord CAIENs's abortive Bankruptcy Bill simply follows in the footsteps of the measures of Lord WILBTBURY and Sir Rom/DELL PALiela ; and the policy of Poor Law Reform which " we in " augurated," was inaugurated by Mr. Irmaxas. The claim of credit for settling in 1868 the Reform question, which, but for the factious opposition of Mr. DISRAELI and his present colleagues, would have been settled in 1866, is refuted by chronology. As a matter of fact, the three Reform Bills in their present shape are the work of the Opposition and not of the Ministry. Almost all Mr. DISRAELI'S original proposals were contemptu ously rejected; nearly all Mr. GLAnsroxes were accepted; and the only trace of the nominal authorship which the Act retains is a provision which is not likely to outlast the first session of the Rreformed Parliament. The legislation of the Parliament of 1832, on which the CHAN (=LOB of the EXCHEQUER passed a glowing eulo gium, was the work of the Liberal party, in office or in opposition. In spite of Mr. DISRAELI'S de magogic appeal to the prejudices of the lowest part of the constituencies, against the convictions of what he calls the over-educated and over refined part of it, we do not doubt that the Irish policy of the Liberal party will receive the sanction of the country. Mr. DISRAELI'S appeal to the supporters of Mr. Munrnv against the opinions of Lord STANLIY is a sign of a lest cause and a des perate commander. " CLARISSA HARLOWE." SAMUEL RICHARDSON, who, in some respects at least, may be accounted the greatest of English novelists, is at the same time the least popular. Everybody knows the reason. The worthy but somewhat finical bookseller had a faculty peculiar to himself of making more than half the charm of his narrative dependent on its prolixity. If RICHARDSON were not almost interminable, if he did not add word to word and description to de scription in a manner which no other writer can achieve, if he did not weld into his story with curious felicity a thousand artless incidents which appear at first sight worthless, but are in reality essential, his peculiar great ness as a novelist would be compara tively dwarfed. Iticiwinsort lived before the age of railroads and penny posts ; he wrote at leisure for those who had ample leisure to read—he wrote, too, for people who, wonderful to relate, when he took up the pen were almost wholly ignorant of fiction and managed to exist notwithstanding. This great master of the art had, therefore, the field to himself, and made good use of his vantage ground. Never was any writer more flattered. He lived, as has been well said, in a " flower-garden of ladies." His " Pamela " was recommended from the pulpit by Dr. SHERLOCK, and the greatest poet of the day declared, perhaps with irony, that it would do more good than volumes of sermons. The fine ladies of the day carried it with them to R►.Nsr.eon, and, just as RAMON the artist used to say that if he were restricted to two books he would choose the Bible and " Vasari," so on the appearance of RICIIARDRON'S first novel it was said that if all other books were to be burnt " Pamela" and the Bible should be preserved. Yet " Pamela," such is the change of manners or of morals, could not now be read aloud with propriety in any family circle, and apart from the coarseness of particular scenes it mast be allowed that although written with the best intentions the moraine it ineuleatess iu of a miserably low Sax*. irrobsAss eiandiaon" and " Clarissa Marlowe," are novels of a far higher stamp, and the latter is beyond question the noblest prose tragedy in the language. Never theless of these two great fictions—groat in two SIMMS—we believe that for many years no now edition has appeared, and that the best edition now to be obtained was published at tho begin iiiLg of the century. Of " Clarissa," which it is said Lord MACAULAY knew almost by heart, Mr. E. 8. DALLAS now pro poses to publish a now and revised edition, be cause, ho says " for the honour of our literature I " lament that the noblest of all novels, the most " pathetio and the most sublime, should be un " read and well nigh unknown among us, and " because I agree with the French critics in " thinking that the prolixity which has boon its " bane may be diminished with an advantage "to which there is no serious drawback." The task, if practicable, will be ono of infinite difficulty ; and we oonfees we do not see for what class of readers the revision is designed. Those of us who enjoy and appreciate Ittelisitnsos, and regard " Marisa*" as the greatcat of all romance, will continuo to prefer the familiar seven volumes to Mr. DALLAS'S three, and if it be proposed to adapt the story to the taste of what may be termed the Mudie public many of the most passionate and pathetic scow* will require to be curtailed and some of them to be omitted. When wo remember that the whole plot of this wonderful story hangs upon the attempt of a heartless man of the world to debauch an innocent and confiding girl it is not easy to ace how it can be made palateable to readers who are accustomed to have vice presented to them " elegantly dressed." Even Clarissa herself, pure and lovely though she be, is apt to say and do things which might possibly offend the readers of Miss BRADDON'S novels, or the admirers of Mdlle. SCHNEIDER. THE CAB STRIKE. MOST people whose business or pleasure takes them out this evening will have to hire private conveyances, to ride in omnibuses, or to walk. The placards with which our street cabs have been adorned for the last few days bear their legitimate fruit at 7 p.m., when, it is asserted, every rank will be empty, and a majority of the proprietors and men will be hurrying to Cumberland market, there to discuss their grievances, and to propose a remedy. The railway companies are the offenders this time. Many of these have their own staff of cabs, that is, cabs upon which the special privilege of plyine for hire at the metropolitan termini is conferred, and which bear the name of the railway to which they are semi-officially attached. The plea in favour of this course is that a better class of vehicle is secured, and that the com pany have a partial guarantee for the civility and proper behaviour of the drivers. A " company's cab " is more or less under the control of the railway authorities, and overcharge, incivility, or other misbehaviour can be punished by exclusion from the station and loss of the ready custom the constant stream of arrivals supplies. The companies which leave the matter open are not, it is said, nearly so well provided ; the least eligible cabs choosing to ply where the " fare" must ride, and where the com petition is limited. A fee of one penny is charged at the stations where the trade is open, and this the cabman is willing to pay in consideration of the certain custom it ensures. Waterloo station is a fair type of the one system; and Euston-square and Paddington of the other. There are no cabs bearing the inscription " South Western Railway " and enjoying the special privileges the words imply—whereas " Great Western" and " North " Western" cabs are common enough. The im pression left on the minds of most travellers is that the cab-hiring public are better served at the two last stations than at the first, which has the character of having the worst cabs in London collected at it when trade is slack and of being left destitute when it is brisk. This may be due to its free-trade principles not being adopted elsewhere. What the men now ask is that the other railway-stations shall be placed on a similar footing, and that they shall be allowed to ply for hire as well as set down passengers at every terminus in London. The demand seems reasonable, but it is not certain that if acceded to the public will be better served. THE late Lord Bishop of Norwich, DE. SAMUEL HINDS, has just published in the form of a pamphlet a plea for the free discussion of religions topics. The main body of the church, the laity, do already, he says, vindicate their right to this process of unlimited discussion whenever occasion calls for it, but the case of the clergy is different. Dr. HINDS does not say that a member of a religious body, whether clerical or lay, who finds himself hopelessly at variance on important points with the tenets of that body, ought not to quit it, but he contends that neither oral declaration nor subscription can prevent subse quent dissent from some of the things promised and subscribed, and that the expression of that dissent ought not necessarily to be forbidden. No man, be argues, can undertake to think always as he does at any given time, or to believe always what he believes. " The palpable absurdity of the " undertaking annuls its obligation. Ho may " as reasonably promise never to grow stouter "or thinner." Judging from the decisions which have been given for some years past, Dr. HINDS is of opinion that it may not be visionary to look forward to the time when appeals to ecclesiastical courts, on the were of doctrine, will altogether cease, and this, he believes, would but result in bringing to bear on innovations in doctrine the full force of that free discus sion which is the Church's constitutional weapon. The supremacy of truth would be more fully acknowledged, and belief be more real, and there fore more operative. Such is the leading argu ment of this latest clerical essay. Or Court.

THIS IMY3 TIE INCURSION INTO TURKEY. The entry of the armed bands into the Turkish territory appears to have boon more serious than was at first represented. Three engagements took plaoo between the invaders and the Turkish troops. The latter bad 27 killed and 79 wounded, whilst on the side of the brigands there wore 80 killed, wounded, and prisoners. Midhat Paoha, tho Pre sident of the Council of State, has been sent to the Danubian Vilayet by the Sultan with a view of keeping a strict watch on what is going on in tho province. THE GERMAN RIFLES FESTIVAL. The leading columns of the New Free Press of Vienna are filled with a festal song of greeting to tho members of the Gorman Rifles Association now assembled in Vienna by " Anastasius Grun" (Count Antony Alexander von Aucraperg). The first fes tival of the association was held in Frankfort, under the auspices of the Duke of Coburg. The second was hold in Bremen, and the third is now Leing held in Vienna. No fewer than 300 targets lave been eroded, and the sum laid out in pro ' aretion amounts to more than 20,0001. Mombers from all parts of Germany flocked to the festival 300 from Munich, 400 from Frankfort, 500 from Stuttgard, from 1,500 to 2,000 from Saxony, 10,000 from the Austrian provinces. Largo con tingents have oome from Switzerland, Belgium, Alsace, Lorraine, &c., &o. The Germans of Alexandria have sent 1,000 florins to tho com mittee, the German colony of Puerto Rico a silver drinking horn. The Germane in Paris have got up a subscription for a prize to the rifle marksmen at Vienna. It consists of a silver cup with stand and cover, and weighs altogether Mbs. Two angels, one on each side, form the handles ,; and on the surface be tween them is the inscription—on one side " The Germans in France to their brethren in Vienna," and on the other, " For the 3rd German Federal Shooting Match, Paris, July, 1868." At the banquet given to the Rifles Giskra, the Austrian Minister of the Interior, in reply to a toast given by Mittermayer, of Heidelberg, said : Youbave honoured byan enthusiastic toast themen who, honoured by the confidence of the Emperor, and possessing the confidence of the people—(bravos)—are now directing the government. These men have undertaken the task in the confidence that Austria, though severely tried, was not yet dead—(loud cheers)—in the conviction that this great power was but ill from false maxims of government —(bravos)—in the conviction that Austria may be come a giant if she has her arms free—those arms which have been tied by ignorance and unfortunate treaties. (Prolonged cheering.) They know that it is only by loosening these old fetters that she can put an end to the compression of her intellectual and economic life, and they are persuaded that Austria can recover her strength on the hos road of progress. As Austria is to-day, thanks to the Emperor, one of the freest States in the world—("true, true ")—Austria will become, by the policy of progress which her government is pursuing, that which you all desire. (Prolonged applause.) Assured of all your assent, I drink, therefore, to the future of Austria re newing her youth in the path of program. (Enthusiastic cheers.) ('PISOO4II noses'/ Ammar.)

On Friday last the officers of the Italian navy at Venice gave a splendid dinner at Danieli's Hotel to Lord Clarence Paget and the officers of the English fleet. Ninety sat down to dinner. Adjutant-General Clavisana proposed " The health of the Queen, People, and Navy of England," to which Lord Clarence Paget replied in the following terms :—" Our arrival in these waters has been for me one of the happiest events, in consequence of the truly princely way in which we have been received by our hosts. Our government in sending us out for our cruise said, 'ln Italy go wherever you like, because Italy is our friend ;' and we have received the confirmation of this truth, because ever. where we have met with a truly brotherly reception." After dinner all the English dB , cell; were conducted in gondolas, expressly decked out and illuminated, along the Grand Canal, bands of music playing serenades in their honour. This festive serenade was prolonged until after midnight. The occupation of Alaska, or Russian America, by the United State, has speedily been followed by re ports of rich gold discoveries. A party of explorers started some time back front the State of Oregon for the Skena River, in Alaska, and were subsequently stated to have been lost in a schooner in Queen Charlotte's Sound ; but the American consul at Victoria, ♦ancouver's Island, now announces their safety, and adds that they are alleged to have found a rich gold field on the Toque River, where they were picking up the metal in lumps: also, that the report was believed in Sitka, and that every available water craft was being brought into requisition to convey adventurers to the spot. We rend in Galignani :—" Mr. Wilkie Collins writes to protest against the dramatised version of the 'Woman in White' announced at the GaletE ; be denies having given his authorisation, and threatens prosecutions and the utmost penalty of the law against that theatre. Crisafulli, the translator, returns the fire by declaring that he holds in his possession Mr. Collins' penniseion." ♦ letter from Fusignano, in the Gazette del Emilia, dates that a wealthy landowner named Angelo Sinigaglia was captured a few days back by brigands, and not released until a ransom of 6,000 fr. had been paid. A monument erected at Rapperewyle, on the border of the Lake of Zurich, to commemorate the drug's of Poland, is to be inaugurated on the 16th August. Count Ladislas Plater writes :—" This international solemnity will be dignified by the presence of the nota bilities of various countries, and everything leads us to hope that it will contribute to secure fresh sympathies to the Polish cause." The thousandth anniversary of the foundation of the kingdom of Hungary is approaching, and people are discussing the way in which the memory of so rare an event in the political history of Europe ought to be per petuate& Some propose the erection of a colossal obelisk on one of the vast plains of Hungary ; others prefer a national Pantheon on the mountain which overlooks the capital. Stage eoachee are about to be started by an American between Joddo and Yokohama, in Japan. . OUR PARIS LETTER. (FlOlll 001 OWN 00111INPONDONT3 PARIS, WNDWNIDAY Evmmu The wearisome session, the longest on record Dee the coup d'etat, broke up yesterday. The last set was the voting of the loan after a pro formi criticism of it by M. (larnior Pages, who says, truly enough no doubt, that the temporary relief which it gives to the floating debt will only be an encouragement to go on in a course of extrava gance, and a short formal apology for it by M. Magno. Not a word was said either by M. Magne, M. Schneider, or M. Rouhor of a charac ter to dispol tho apprehensions of war which now again cause great anxiety. M. Schneider generally makes a speech to his colleagues before dismissing them to their homes, but ou this occa sion ho said nothing, and the inforonoo drawn from his silence is that the general elections may very likely take plane this year. The usual cries of " Vivo l'Emperour" are recordod in the official analytical report, which does not, however, men tion an important variation of them reported in the Monite•ur. M. Paul Botionont oriod " Vivo la Libertk!" M. Eugene Pellotan " Vivo Ia nation !" and then M. Beim on to' exclaim,•) " Vivo la nation, which elected the Em peror!" These erica must bo taken in con nexion with a sort of exchango of dofiances which took place two days ago between M. Picard end M. Itouher. The member for Paris said in a marked mariner that when governments forget their origin they ran tho risk of downfall. M. Rouher replied sharply, " Those are your words now, but if over you attempt to act upon them we shall put you down." There is much fire smouldering under this smoke. M. Henri Rochefort, whose prosecution for re fusing to insert the government communique ; is, we art told, to be hurried on, wrote, in 1819, when a student of sixteen in the 'Kongo Lyceum, an ode to Biirunger of very great merit, which was acknowledged by the poet in the following charm ing letter, now for the first time made public : To the Lys.::en Rochefort,—l am under great obligations to your friends, monsieur, for having suggested that you should send your charming ode to me. You certainly owed me a copy :ince I was so fortunate as to inspire your muse. I- it tiue that you are only sixteen When I re read your ver•cs I cannot help asking myself and on this wipstion—are you but sixteen Ch! if I. at that age, had composed such well-turned iottie qrol hcs, I should have fancied that a brilliant destiny was before me. It is true that you lyeeene are forced in • hothouse, whereas I, at sixteen, did not know how to spell. sow, remembering all the means that have been taken to develop your faculties precociously, do not, my dear child, allow yourself to be too vain of a happy dame and the praises of an old rhymester, who may bo somewhat blinded perhaps by your incense.

Thus one of the first effects of the communique and prosecution has been to draw forth this certi ficate of Beranger to the genius of Henri Roche fort, now the most popular man in Paris.

It is described as having been, up to the middle of July, one long siege, and its sad effects have been witnessed in the unprece dented number of victims whose deaths had been recorded during the previous ten days ; but it had not been accompanied by any epidemic, and, excepting the mortality and suffering immediately resulting from the heat, the public health had been good. At Richmond, on the 16th inst., the thermometer stood at 107 degrees in the shade, and the heat was so great in Libby prison that the military commander removed the prisoners to the posts whence they were sent. At Wi mington the thermometer ranged from 97 to 101 degrees. At Baltimore there were fifteen cases of sunstroke in one day, three of which were fatal, and on the same day, in the same city, the destruction of no less than fifty head of cattle was attributable to the same cause. At Newark, N.J., thirteen persons died from the heat on the 15th and 16th. At Trenton there were four, and about the same number in the country townships; and at Philadelphia thirteen deaths occurred between midnight and noon on the 16th ; while at Rochester, in thirty-six hours, there were twenty-one cases of prostration, of which six were fatal. The list of casualties in the Yew York Tines of the 17th lo o ks like a battle roll, and yet it is prefaced with the re mark that "the reports of mortality resulting from the heat yesterday show a large falling off from the preceding days, and there is an encouraging prospect of more mode rate weather in the future." As a sample of the an nouncements under the headings of " The Dead," and "The Prostrated," we give the following :—" Mr. Bentz, of the firm of H. and M. Bentz, was prostrated on the corner of Eighth-street and Maodougal, and died in a few min utes. Unknown man, prostrated at One Hundred and Thirty third-street and ,Eighth-avenue, died on the way to Bellevue Hospital. Remains at Morgue. Mary Ann Kelly, of No. 214 k, Mulbetri-street, died on the way to Bellevue Hospital. Remains at the Morgue. Alexander Turner, aged 60, of Williamsburg, found insensible at the corner of Canal and Watts streets. Taken to New York Hospital. Unknown man, found at Tenth-avenue and Thirty-fourth-street suffering from the heat. Taken to Mount Sinai Hospital. Officer Abraham Storms, of the Broadway Squad, was prostrated while on poet at the corner of Fourteenth-street and Broadway. He was taken to Police Head-quarters and attended by Dr. Pooler. Three of the employfs of the Brooklyn and Neirtown Railroad were prostrated upon De Kalb-avenue Wednes dayafternoon. One conductor, it is feared, will not recover. Councilman Jeremiah O'Brien was soddenly seized with illness at his residence, lie. 73, Oliver-street, when medical aid was summoned and the patio* pronounced out of danger. An unknown man was picked up in an insensible condition, yesterday afternoon, on the corner of Ninth avenue and Twentieth-street, and sent to Mount Sinai Hospital." The "unknown," indeed, seem to have pre dominated, and the sufferers were of various nationalities. A letter from Wellington, New Zealand, says : —" The introduction of salmon ova has been successfully accomplished, some of the Ssh by the Celestial Queen having just been h►tched in the province of Otago. Eleven boxes from the same vessel were forwarded to Canterbury, but it is feared that none would germinate. It is yet doubtful whether the rivers of the North Island are cold enough for salmon, so that the experiments of acclimatisation are confined at present to the south. The success of the Celestial Queen's importation is in great measure owing to tie care and interest which Mr. Frank Bnckland bestowed in England on its preparation and packing. Unfortunately, the ship made a longer passage than was anticipated, or the result would have been still more satisfactory." The Panama Star states that there are iO,OOO acres of waste lands in Jamaica, and the government is about to take possession of them, and encourage extensive immigration. The subject has been mooted in Austral's of abandoning the mail route to Panama when the Pacific railroad is completed, and establishing a mail steam packet communication with San Francisco. The latter city is 700 miles nearer New Zealand than Panama is, and Tahiti is on the route between New Zealand and California. It is stated from Liverpool that the liquidators of the Royal Bank have decided to make further calla of 64. and ba on the small and large Iberia respectively.
