Chapman and Hall. " Sweet is the pleasure of going home, awe all know ; but what can equal the pleasure of going forth ? To rise ere the dawn has lost its rosy blush on a fine summer morning, and feel that you are free to go whithersoever you will ; to wander as iodina tion prompts for the whole of • summer month, and with feet as willing to Stir as your head to enjoy —what pleasure can equal that Before you stretches • long vista of anticipations; a plan floats loosely in your mind, to be shaped d a y by d a y, or hour by hour, and there is amuse of power and quiet satisfaction in the reflection that the shaping depends chiefly on your own wayfaring capabilities. Where among robust pleasures can this be matched ? " So speaks Mr. Walter White; and, with tongues cli on ed by London heat, with thr o at s choked - by dust, with hearts yearning to be quit of Loudon tails and weary of London pleasures, we say to him, " Well spoken." He is wisely following oat a true instinct in the production of such works as the present. A new and greatly improved order of guide-books was inaugurated by "A Lou donee,. Walk to the Land's Ena ; " sad this pleasant volume of Mr. White's was soon followed by the equally pleasant "Month in Yorkshire." Nobody who may have reed those two books, or either of them, will need to be told that their author is eon of those literary tourists who do not obtrude their personal "views" and prejudices, but who nevertheless contrive to stamp their individuality on every page of their writings. The book before us is altogether worthy to follow the two we have mentioned. Mr. White may also be congratulated on having chosen • route that has not been overdone by pattern travellers. Indeed, it is part of his free, athletic, impulsive habit of locomotion to avoid the beaten track ; and we commend his example to all who have strength and leisure to follow it. Green fields are becoming every day more and more easily accessible to the townsman; but pastures new, how shall they be found, except with • difficulty which gees on increasing in a ratio with the increase of travelling facilities ? We are told, for instance, that there is hardly elbow-room in the Lie of Wight, and that people are driven theme to ruminate at Portsmouth. A very pretty met if inverse pastoral, by the bye, might be made en the.sbjset of a pair of lovers who have wandered far from ace noisy throng at Shanklin, Alma Bay, or Blacking Chine, to seek, among the pleasant lanes of Portsmouth, a seclusion and retreat from vulgar eyes, This feverish stock of the holiday market dose not extend to Northumberland. Ose may journey thither, and fear no awkward misgiv ing/son the point of its having been worth while to jemmy out of Middlesex, a county which, we may observe, is not so well known by metropolitans as it deserves to be. Mr. White would snake a capital book out of the cockney's country. We suspect that, bold pedestrian though be be, there is something due to other means of enjoyment. Modestly peeping oat here and there are signs, or hints, of the traveller's faculty of " making himself at home;" as at Nuttier, for:instance, where the hos pitality of Mr. Laces is evidently not thrown away —and where the guest immediately begins " to sap the Arms of the children, among whom were four bonny girls, sharers of their mother's good looks;" se that we are not surprised to find the same children vary soon crowding round his knees, to hear his seep and stories, which are " proper for Sunday." Agars, his reception by the hostels of the Lord Crews'. Arms, at Bans borough, goes far to prove the social best of his nature. Won by the smell of good cookery, he wins in turn the landlady's goodwill, by asking leave to sit down with her sad her maids; and when the time of reckoning arrives, behold, there is no reckoniag to pay, for has she not bidden him welcome? Depend on it, the man who can chronic'. these experiences of travel is not the man to sit contentedly at home. Women, Past and Present exhibiting their Social Vicissitudes, Single and Matrimonial Relations, Rights. Frielleges, and Wrongs. By JOHN WADI. Charles Skeet. This is a very flagrant cue of bookmaking. Mr. Wads', compilations have generally, we believe, the credit of being concise, accurate, and fall. His British History " and " Cabinet Lawyer " are books of reference to be found in all useful libraries; sad if his " History and Political Philosophy of the Productive Classes" wee brought, by a too pretentious title, into unfavourable comparieoa with such works as Porter's " Progress of the Nation," it had still the marks of actual investigation and diligent labour to recommend it. His new book exhibits very few of these marks, and is, on the whole, as haphazard and as disjointed a piece of authorship as we can bring to our recollection. For some unfathomable reason which seems to animate philosophers and others, whenever they speak of, or address themselves to, women, it has been found impossible to get on with out a great deal of sentimental jocosity, and at least as much of discursive and irrelevant anec- dote, of a kind which commonly bespeaks attention by the prefatory " fbis reminds t 1!.." Mr. Wade, in .seeming the agreeable skittishness which he evidently conceives to be part and parcel of his task, does not discard the sober habit of the compiler and the statistician. The result is that he appears to be striving to found a new style on a model com pounded of Dr. Darwin and Adam Smith. Occa sionally he platitudinises on the tender passion, and this is the sort of language he employs:—" It cer tainly tends to sweeten and elevate the feelings, and exile from the bosom malevolent dispositions. While sager transforms us into furies, and revenge Into fiend., love inclines us,"—aod so on. After all this, it is a little humiliating to be re minded that " the indulgence of love and the pro euring of food are the two mainsprings of activity in animal creation." Wide ea are the boundaries of his theme, Mr. Wade has not kept within them. Indeed, be has been so far from keeping within them that he can scarcely be said to have written specially about women at a/L Take any gossiping eelsotes•ploto book, such as the "Curiosities" and ether welosee of Mr. Disraeli, and the title chosen by Mr. Wade would be just ea appropriate to that se to this. We have pegeo after pages with such seanter-headiage as those: Frenchwomen before the revolution—lbderzt, Grimm; Frenchwomen before the revolution—lean Jecques Rousseau; French. women before the revolution—Nl. de Voltaire ; lio glishwomen in the 18th century—Dr. Johnson; Englishwomen in the 18th century—Dr. Johnson's Views of Men. Had we space to quote some of theme pages it would fairly become apparent that Immo, even if so much se motioned, have little more to do with the matter in hand then have hope to do with table beer; and u (or other cribbed from the Cyclopedia, on the laws pages of courtship, ancient and modern, it is obvious that the subject relates equally to women sad to men. To speak the truth, we have bad some what too mach of these apologies for the existence of the female sex, even where the apologists have had diuretic* ~oh k to keep close to their argument. W eesee ... te y they, “ exercises great influence on society." We deny It; and for the simple reason that to admit the preposition were to shut woman mad society altogether. Really, it is high time to potweive that Marston peculiarly directed to the pa teeller of womea's rights too often supposes a week s.. which does sot exist in the claim that is &d -rooled.

He wee bound to say he did not take that view of the defy of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and be thought be would neither be bound or Dunned in refusing the Chiltrrn Hundreds on that ground alone.

Mr. CLAY mid that as the same of the hon. member for ' Whitby (Mr. Stephensoo) had been mentioned in connexion with his plan, be should like to know his opinion of it. Mr. STEPHENSON roes, but was interrupted by Kr. ROEBUCK, whit rose to order. The SPEAKER said this by the practice of the house, questions might only be addressed to minimare of the none oe members henna nesenree pending before the house. Mr. CONINOHAM, le order to gin the hon. meeker for Whitby her opportt of the h unity of speaking, begged to move the ad journmenouse. Mr. ROEBUCK asked whether the bon. tonne web* week to any otter question than the adjournment. The SPEAKER said the house reserved to itself the power of moving the adjourameet even oe the qesstion, but it was • very manual then to do so, and if ponovered Is meat being tee business of the house to a end still. Mr. ALCOCK seoosded the motion for the adjouniment. He thought it would bs unwise for the bons to repent* without arriving et eine solution of this quedion. The water of the Serpentine was sometimes, especially In the afternoon. downright pestiferous. Ho believed the plan proposed would set offset its object; Lord Llanover had sueneded completely in cleaning the water in St. James's, and soy person might now smoke a cigar in comfort on the Mdse. lie feared the right hon. gentleman, the pretest Commie' toner of Works, we. meddling with what he did en understand; end by his stupid obetioncy—(order, order)— wouid loos all the credit he had obtained for energy In ether cakes, and bring discredit on the neatness: and himself, by pursuing a conies which would bring detriment to the perk ad to London. Mr. P. O'BRIEN considered that it wee desirable to hays the nickel of the hon member for Whitby on the abject; be would have been ebbs to give it, and this irregular die ensaion would have terminated long b-fore, bat for the inter ruption of the bon : member for Sheffield. Mr. STEPHENSON wee happy to respond to the in vitation to give his °pinks on the Serpentine. He had been ta the habit of visiting the place for natty years, and had watched closely its went of purification. He had held the office of one of the Commissionere of &weer, and had devoted Itie etiolation a good deal to the means of excluding tom the staine the sewage of Bayswater, which went into it foe- siterly to a large extent; at that time be felt there was some smell arising from it, but for the lad few years, say four or five, there had keen a very undue amount of excitement re specting the Serpentine. (Hear, bar.) He drove past it tyke • day, and and rode there oecasionelly for ease bona and never found, for the last three or four years, &aphis( on hie olfactory nerves Mat would lead him to coincide in the outcry that was made. (Hear, bear.) He believed it we. entirely ea founded—(hear, bear); but whethrr it was °Missive or not— it may have been so, hat to the beat of his judgment it now was not)—supposing, however, it was Impure, the question was how to levity it. It we. a stagnant lake. The other day, driving along the shores, he saw than throwing lime Into it; the result wee that he saw some dead fish floating cn the airfare, giving rise, aliments, to Massed ofessivespedem of decompositMet. (Hear, bear.) In all lakes nature pro vidrd a sort of equilibrium; there were the al gesesous plants, which were fed on by the small animals, which in turn were fed on by the large: they did that, therefore ' with the Serpentine which they otight not to have done; by putting in Mae they killed the large animals, which fed on the small, and I thus rendered it more polluted than before. The ease was very different with the Thames. He did not denytbeve might be an advantage in pouring lime Into • tidal river, where the mess was swept oweveey six or sight hours ; bat he was now arguing with regard to • lake which bad no supply of water except the small drainage from the sides, sad which was just sufficient to meet the evaporatios, end no more. He matatalned that to throw anytkiag poisasette into • lake was entirely contrary tondo:Vs proms of ceasing an equili brium between mimed sod vegetable life. With regard to Mr. Hawksley's plan, it was an engineering subject, on which he trusted he might venture to give an speaks. (Hear, hear.) He would admit, toe !Masks of argument, though he did not believe it, that the Serpentine was in the disreputable state which was said—(bmar, Deer)—be distinctly denied that it was ; but supposing that it wail, the goodie' was, what was the bat mode of getting rid of It. He ' believed Mr. Hiarkeley'e plan was that of creating an arti ficial stream, ioatead of • natural one. If they had a natural stream, flowing in from we vide and oat at the other, the lake would be perfectly healthy; but es they had not, they should consider what meat. were at their commend for treating an artificial one. He believed there was only one, and that was the plan 'negated by Mr. Hawbeky, by pumping up • large quantity of water, drawing It out at one end, and thereby away from the other. (Sr J. PAXTON : It dos not.) It does : water could net be pumped out at one end of • lake without drawing It away from the other. He had • great respect for hie hon. hisses opinion as a matter of taste, bat with regard to engineering he had not much confidence. lila hon. friend said there was na use In pumping out water at the Bayswater gad and {{oaring it in there again. (" Hear, hear," from Sir J. PA [TOY.) There waeirvery use in it. The water could not be pumped out and then sent In again without creating • difference in the level of the wear, and that would crate a current from end to end, and he believed the calculation was that the whole body of water would be changed in about two minutes. Fear and a half bore, power would raise 2,000,000 gallons • day 10 lira high. By doing that they must alter the level while they pumped it out or in, and if the level of the water was raised at the Bayswater end it most flow down to the Albert-gate end. With regard to thefiltering bed he had no apprelmasion whatever ; he believed Mr. Hawkaley's plan was the best, and a most unexceptional plan. Supposing the Serpentine to be offensive—which he did sot admit—he believed It wee • simple and effectual one to cure it. Mr. NEWDEGATE complained of the coons taken with regard to thte Charitable Trusts Act Continuance Bill. There wee a distinct underetanding yesterday that it would be planed first on the orders of the day, bet it now stood Sir O. C. LEWIS said tha bill referred to did in effect stand ant. S. the orders before it were merely formal. Sir J. PAXTON said he would be the last man to set himself tip no • point of engineering skill against his has. friend (Mr. ton), who in that respect stood first in the world ; but this was not entirely a matter of engineering. He was quite sure the plan proposed would not answer ; he understood at let that it wee intended to pump the water out at one end, and them, after (Uterine it, throw it in at the other. That would make a stream ; but to pour it beck again when It was taken out would n'.t alter the lever etb of an inch. He agreed with his hon. Mead that the fidt ought not to be killed—they were the boot filters ; but Mr. Hackney's plan proposed to matinee throwing the liras ht. Mr. B. JAMES maid that when two such authorities as the members for Whitby and Covesttrryy disagreed some allowance ought to be made for the Commimloser of Works; and he certainly did not deserve the tannage applied to him by the hon. member for Bast Surrey (Mr. Aback). Every one agreed that the Serpentine required periling—the only quotation was a. to the mode of corrylag it oat. The right hoe. gentleman the Commissioner of Works seemed to have taken advantage of the hest seginserieg skill, and the matter might safely he left in his hands. Mr. SCULLY took a personal interest In this matter, be- cause be resided close to the Serpentine. He had observed its condition for the last two years, and be could not sub scribe to the opinioe that It wan not in an offensive state. Its ortedision appeared to him to be worse than that of the Thames. He agreed, however, with the hon. member Is, Whitby in condentieng the nee of the lime, ite he had sees unloads of putrid Salt carried atm from tbe lake, and who ever wee respossible for the proardloß ought to be promeented by the Society foe the Prevention of Cruelty to Ashes's.

He awned with the hon. sod learned aerobe? for Southwark, that the clause did not contain words which would carry out the object he had spoken of. The niers words, "preservation of public decency,' did not refer to the point to which he had alluded. Under all the chcsonstatmeo he would bow to the decision of the committee. (Hear.) The claws was accordingly shack out. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the following ellanse:—.. On any petition presented by a wile praying that her maniege may be dissolved by maim of her husbeild hat., been minty ef adultery coupled with cruelty, or of natatory coupled with desertion, the husband and wile re , sportively shall be compete'. and compellable to give evi ' dame of ter relating to such cruelty or desertion,"—which woo agreed to.

Yr. GRIFFITH said he had given notice ea clause somewhat different from this, inatmuch se it referred sot to cues of dirsolution of marriage, but of judicial separation. It was to enable the court to teaks provision for the bu.bsud, by way of alimony, out of the property which be had settled upon his wife at the marriage. Yr.

The ATTORNEY. GENERAL objected that the proviso would impair the stringency of the clause, end therefore would nut carry out the hon. and learned member's object. The simendmisat was withdrawn, and the clause agreed to. Chem i was also agreed to.. . . . The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the omisaion of than 4, which he mid had been introduced in the other house without the consent at the government, end contrary to his own view.. The object of the clause warn to live Julie diction to the court in bleb cams. After a !ma coaverseuon, in the oozy.' of which Mr. ger leant Dugs vied that the clause would ben Infringement upon the joripthation of the Irish courts. by introducing what ovoid not bat be regarded as a foreign tribunal. the clear was struck out. Mr. E. JAMES mood to strike out claws 5, which em powers thejadges to bold their sittings with closed doors, which he held to be contrary to the Bret principle of English legal edinialstration, which wee publicuy. He knew that the judges were incorruptible and the bar independent, but that they &odd remain so it wee neceseary that the proceed leg. of our court, should be public. Besides, the object in vow would not be effected—e prurient curiosity would he excited, and garbled reports of whatever disgusting details might be brought forward would appear ' more injurious to the came of public mordity than would be published If the matters were open to the good mass of the public and the discretion of the prem. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL held that the whole prin ciple of the enactment was public benefit, and the point w.is, whether that principle would ant be beet advanced by making the exoeption to the ordteary practice of our law courts which the clause proposed to establish'? There mad be me doubt that • morbid curiosity was excited by themes'', ; and the fact that the proceedings mem open would often prevent sensitive women from seeking for juetice, because of the necessity of detailing in open court the piii ticulms of the cruelties to which they might have been subjected. Though the doors would be closed, there would be the check afjudge, ' mad jury, and advocates to prevent abuse of that secrecy which public morality, as well as the ends of jostles, rep dated necessary. He cntended that they might safely, with the checks of advocates and jury, leave it to the discretion of the judge to say whether, to my particular owe, the pro ceedings should be public or not. Mr. AYRTON opposed tbo clause. It was impasible that any law or any system of jurisprodence could be free from lo cate's:6mo, in some few exceptionel cases. if the system of =with closed doors wire adopted In these cases, why it not be extended to criminal cams, end ems civil ISIM, when evidence of an objectionable nature was adduced? The awe, la such came ass for the judge to direct females end Demons to leave the court, and the seas practice to tbe followed in the Divorce Court. The object of the dams was to enable the judge to exercise a censorship over the public mese, which was unneteseary, se the pram seer deed its duties to moiety with discretion end judgment. Tbie ems not the time, at the close of a session, and in se thin • house, to propose to alter • recog nised lied well-eatabliebed principle of public justice. Publicity in til,7tJtiti;i;t7iif operate - to oop;rttt domestic misconduct, and especially in the case of the tyranny of the Meehan* because it wouid be known that, although min conduct was oartied on is secrecy at home, these was a tribunal where it would be disclosed, and the offender* branded by the contempt of society. The court was not in tended to encourage but repress divorces, and publicity would aid is the attainment of that object, while seamy weld tend to encourage domestic misconduct. This clams was naturally brought in in the Home of Lords, when thews was a clessof persons who did not like publicity—(order, oh!) —but as the How of Commons waa the guardian of the public morels, they ought not to assist such a class in snob an object, but striae out the clause. Mr. B. COCHRANE was sorry that the hon. and learned gentleman had concluded his able speech by an observation on another piece, and an saanion that the upper classes were less liberal than others. (Oh, oh 1) Mr. HADFIELD said the strength of our laws wan in public opinion, which supported the law. He could say that there were persona in this country whom names could in duence the bench in granting secrecy which a poor man could not obtain. (Oh, oh l) He would remind the hoe. stentlemsn who said oh—(laughter)—that when a man went into a court of law in this country hews. on so equality with any man of any clam. He hoped the House of Commons would prevent such an enactment es this. Mr. BRADY Naked if the clause was weed whets was the liao to be drawn f Must not the principle be extended to otbsr courts f He could not sanction any amendment which did away with the principle of publicity in the pro- ceedings of our courts of law. Mr. H. BERKELEY bad often heard a word seed In that hones—namely, the word us-English. That word, he thought wee peculiarly applicable to this clime, which was opposed all the principles of English law. He swished to ask the Attorney-General how the judge was to be in formed when a cam was of such a nature se audit ought to he hand with closed doors or not, unless ha was privately informed of the fort. (Neer, hear.) That objection aloes was fatal to the claws. Mr. BOWYER was one of thews who opposed the Divorce Act on the ground that it would injuriously affect the morality of the country. It had only been • short time in operation and they saw the Attorney-Oeneral proposing a perfectly new principle in the law of England, that of siths power to • jodge to shut up his wort ; that is, that the pro ceedings had become so scandalous to morality that snob a step was necessary. The ATTORNEY-ORNERAL said it mutt not be sup • that this clause wee pointed against the public. press. No Inca thing. It only pointed to the prevention of that denial of justice which the present Mate of things mused, which be bad endeavoured to point out. The boa. issabwr for Meted was mistaken in supposing that the jail anid receive information privately.—(Mr. BIIIIIIIET : 1 ald tot say so.)—The only communication made to hies would be by mussel of the motors of the evidence, and on that state meat the judge could exercise hie discretion on his responsi bility. The chum was the result of the s xperience of tie Judge Ordinary, and at hie suggestion it had been tumid SALE OF GAS BiLL. On the motion of Mr. SUZIUDIN, thii bill was MOM witted, in order to eubetitute an amended clause for one which !dr. V. Smelly sad other Irish members had objected to, so for as Ireland was concerned, relative to the appoint ment of investors by county grand juries. Mr. DEASY moved the new Cktlie, which was to the effect that the expense consequent on the appointment of je ep .etors should be defrayed by the boroughs and towns in which gas was consumed, and sot by the counties. Stversl other amendments of this bill were agreed to, and the house wee then summoned to send a committee into the Painted Chamber. for s conference with a committee of the House of Loris, in order to prepare en addrees to the Crown for the appointment of the Wakefield Election Commission. On the return of the nmeagere, they thnouneed that they had 'ingested their lordahips' concurrence to the address preying for a royal comminefon to ioquite into the Wakefield eleefirai, and had left a copy of the address with their lordships.

THE 8221.1 TE 111 THE B.UILDINO TIADS. Yesterday a meeting of the Builders' Society was held et the Freemsioni Tavern. The meeting was priv►te ; but it transpired that a proposal was made for withdrawing the " agreement" on engaging men. It wee decided that the proposal could not be entertained at that meeting, but it was understood that it would be renewed at the nut meeting of the society, which takes place on Tuesday nzt. It would appear that out of the 225 building firms which constitute the central association, there are nine builders or places where the men are not locked out, and where they con thine to work without any document. According to the" London Directory "there are about I,2l6builders inthersetropolis. It has been represented to us that eight men were supplied from a Large building yard to the establishment of hit:sera Trol lops yesterday morning, but that they left at one o'clock cm the same day, on its being stated to them what was the nature of the dispute between the masters sad the men.
