By T. B. illAcmary. leragissa sad Co. There will be in England more eyes earnestly bent' on these volumes today than on' any work extant' which depends for its reception on the mere merits' of the author. The excitement in the "Row" will communicate 'itself to every library and book ash in the kingdom. The third and fourth volumes of Ilbp malty will be a topic which for a time will divide attention with despatches from the Crimea end the message of the American President. Mr. Macaulay may indulge in the full assurance that he will excite to-day mom interest than hes been manifested in say historical labours since the time when Boredom read his history to the assembled Greeks at the Olympic Games. And although severe critics, and political opponents, and even calm students, may each and all lied matter fee sewers in the works of the most brilliant of li ' Isaiah historians, there is scarcely an individ est of all the three claims who will deny that Mr. Macaulay's popularity is well earne4 . It is true is not always consistent. lie will at one time express a doubt whether England owes most to the Roman catholic religion or to the Reformation; at another will lay it down as an incon trovertible truth that catholicism is incompatible witk advancement in knowledge, in freedom, in wealth, and in the arts of life; and thee will tell you arms larly that "from the time when the barbarians over ran Europe to the time of the revival of letters, the infloeoce of the church of Rome has been generally favourable to science, civilisation, and good govern ment." It may be objected with tome truth that Mr. Macaulay delights in startling and antithetical relations between cones and effect, as when be puts down the immorality of the Cavaliers to the asceticism of the Puritans, and makes the "reign of the strum pet," a lftitimate coosequenos of the "reign of the saints." There is some truth in the charge that he wanders through history . in march of the picturesque. Still better founded is the objection directed against the tendency to isolate events or characters from the atmosphere of circumstances in which they were enveloped. He is the Canaletti of historians. Everything with him is painted distinctly with the sharpest of outlines. It is true also that, although hie style is brilliant, his language is not suggestive. His words express just what they mean, and nothing more. This may appear to some a beauty rather than a defect; but any one who has read Thuoydides, not to mention Plato, will recognise the grand geeti wo= vs power, not merely of waterier, but of y which the key-note is struck to long trains el thought. There is less forts is the objection that he writes as a partisan. History cannot be written like mathema An historian cannot be se bloodless as a fis h. Mr. Macaulay's truth lies at the bottom of a whig well: who can blame him for preferring to fill his Docket from its waters rather than from any other reservoir ? Still there are occasions when the spirit of partisanship appears to have influenced the historian in ouch a manner as to cause him to shut his eyes to the truth. Take, for instance, his defence of Mary against the charge brought against her—not only . by foes, but by friends —of heartlessness on her arrival at Whitehall, the palms which had but a short time before been the residence of her now exiled father. " She mime into Whitehall laughing jollity, as if to a wedding," says Evelyn. In his eagerness to vindicate the character el kiebseeins, Mr. Macaulay desires as to believe her symelbse that she was merely acting a part to plane by boied. • id visa we have made the mast of than object- Wes, wombat' find that bit. Macaulay has awe/. Weiss which p far to aooonnt for the 'isthmian' of his admirers.

Lamartine may have produced mom striking pictures, but none so true. Finally, the stream of his historical narrative is constant and vehement He is not, like many historians, cemitkna• ally going back again to pick up something be bed dropped by the way. He never tags, and his mein is never weary. The last two volumes of the History have all the beauties of the two former ones. with fewer defects.

These few years an second in im portant,' to no similar length of time in our annals. They secured liberty at home, and vindicated the ' bourns and glory of Fagland abroad. Ireland, which had been a battle-field of contending factions and opposite religions, was pacified. Scotland was quieted, and all chance of successful rebellion crushed. The principles of civil and religious liberty were constantly asserted by the King, except when the violence of hke _vies too much for him. Hearth money was - eMd- The Mutiny Bill and others, now looked apes as the very safeguard of our liberties, were pegged; and the nation began to develop those material riches which have enabled England to maintain its rank as a first-rate power. It was to the personal character of William that most of this im provement was due. The greatest statesman of the age was the most tolerant and progressive of mo narchs. And yet, with all this, William wan never popular. The causes of this want of popularity are thus stated by the historian : Or et the chief Inactions dose 'overlaps had lose bees to preside over the moiety of the capital.

The Siege of Londonderry affords great scope for the descriptive powers of the historian, and is pour trayed with admirable skill.

All was snake, dust, sad diet. Old soldiers were heard to say that they had seldom sun sharper work la the Low Countrism But, jest at this canjesetere, William cams up with tke left wing. He had head noels dillisulty in crossing. The tide was mains fast. His charger had bees forced to swiss, and had been almost lost is the wed. As soon as the king was on firm ground he took his sword in hie left heed,—for his right um wee stiff with his wound and his bandage,—and led his men to the place where the fight was the hottest. His arrival decided the fats of the day. Tat the Irish horse retired fighting obstiestely. It was bug ressothered among the protestants of Ulster that, is the midst of the tumult, William rode to the head of the Butikilleners. " Waal will you do for me t" he cried. He was aot imme diately rougaimed ; aid one trooper, taking him for an essay, was about to are. William gently put aside the earbies. " What," said he, "do yea not know your Meade)" "It is his majesty," said the Mead. The ranks of amity protestant yeomen est up • shoat of joy. " Gentle me," said Williams, " you shall be my guards to-day. I base heard mach of you. Lot me see something you. One of the most remarkable peculiarities of this man or& eerily so asthma' and reserved, was that danger soled on him like wise, opened his heart, loosed his mew, and took sway all appearance of oustraint from hie manner.

Is no part of his History is Mr. Macaulay more ✓aciness fW than in his account of the p art taken by William, as the east 0 the great coalition formed against France. He disentangles the confused net -1 erect of the diplomacy of the period, and enables us to tines the full meaning of the complicated relations in which the various parties stood to each other. The whole chain of events, from the union of the various powers forming the coalition, down to the Peace of Ryswick, is developed as progressively as the action of a good drama. Mr. Macaulay shows that William was no lees a warrior than a statesman, and that the danger from which Europe was preened -- a danger as great in kind and degree as that by which the Continent was lately threatenedfromßtuisiao serendancy—was for the most part doe to William's genius and peneveranos. In reading the historian's eloquentnarative of the events, diplomatic and military, in which William took ll so prominent a part, in which also he appeared equay great as a warrior and a statesman, it is not difficult to account for the enthusiasm with which Mr. Macaulay eulogises his hero. It is true that he rather wilfully shuts his eyes to some of William's defects, showing himself more in the character of an advocate than an historian, but it is better to err on the side of sympathy with heroic grandeur than on the contrary side. The following statement of the benefits which England had derived daring the first nine years of the government of Wit icsufficient to show that the enthosiasinexcited by the character of the man by whom those benefits were achieved is justifiable: Bashed had pared through severe Wats, sad bad come forth renewed in health and viper.

These are the concluding words of the fourth volume. In reading this History, we have been forcibly struck by the fact that England owes its greatness far more to the grandeur of the national character than to its statesmen or its kings. It was not statesmen who kftght about the Revolution ; for when William had to select a ministry he could scarcely find men honest or wise enough for his purpose. Denby, Halifax, and Shrewsbury, his first ministers, were neither them men whose genies or character made them markable. William was ever surrounded by who would willingly have left him for James, their desertion been safe or profitable. Bat nation was stronger than the statesmen. The it was who brought about the Revolution. I, people prevented a counterrevolution. It . which constitutes the difficulty and also the grandeur of English history. The life of a king is compare. tively easy work for the historian. The life of a nation requires deeper study, and greater accuracy of perception. "We envy England her Macau la y , said a German critic when reviewing the first volume of the work ; "but we envy Macaulay still more foe having a country with such a history.

It appears that a m a maed David Millard, a betty collier, went to work that morning at a oolitic" , at Priorfields, sad after working some time he sent a boy is his employment, named Thomas Lear, to pm , cute a quantity of gunpowder, which was kept in tho miler of his (Idillard'e) boost. This powder, it is stated, was duly given to the boy Lear by the wife of David Millard; but a mooed led, Sensed Millard, was afterwards d.spatehed from the pit for horse corn. The latter was told to wait awhile by Mr. Conseil!, who kept the horse corn, as he had not then doss to serve hime The two boys are said to have met at Mr. Cotterill's hoses as Lear was departing with the powder. Millard complained to Mr. Cotterili's servant girl of the cold, and as then was no Am in Mr. Cotterill'e house, be said he would go Into his own home. In a few minutes after he left Mr. Cotterill's a tremendous implosion took plies. Millard's house was the metre of a block of three, all of which were blown up.

The wife of John Caddiek, in the third house, was slightly Waled; but Hannah Stephens, her mother, who lived with them, was seriously injured is the heed. Nothing certain is known as to the muse of the implosion, bet the geners,impression was that Millard, on going into his own home procured a light, with which he descended the cellar, and that from some muse—whether he went purposely to the powder barrel (in whittle it is said there was no great quantity of gunpowder) or not, is of course unknown—the implosive material ignited.
