Vancouver Island and British Columbia : where they are ; what they are ; and what they may become. By Alexander Rattray, M.D., Edin., R.N. Smith Elder, and Co. Among the most useful of the works that have recently appeared on these colonies, we must class the one before us, which, unpretending as regards bulk, has been compiled with the view of dissi pating whatever erroneous ideas may exist with regard to these colonies, as well as of pointing out in what their respective advantages consist, and of indicating for what fields of enterprise they offer an advantageous opening. Of the two colonies that of Vancouver Island is the one in which the author is most at home; he has evidently spared no pains to convey accurate information respecting its climate and capabilities, and he is extremely sanguine as to its future. Still, he admits that our present know ledge of the island is very imperfect. A large part of it remains to be explored; and it is the same with British Columbia. "Fur-trading settlements have long existed in its interior, which has therefore been partially explored ; and the gold diggings of more recent date have opened up the country in the neighbourhood of the Fraser River; but the north east, north, and western districts, including nine. tenths of its surface, are still unsettled, and much of it unvisited." Up to 1859 these colonies were in the hands of the Hudson's Bay Company, who dis couraged emigration, but in that year their charter of exclusive trade expired, and active colonisation commenced. The area of British Columbia is about 200,000 square miles," nearly twice that of Great Britain, and its population is from 5,000 to 6,000, of which the miners form about one-third. Whilst the area of Vancouver Island is about 14,000 square miles, and the white population of the island is about 4,000 or 5,000. " A narrow but navigable channel separates this island from the adjacent colony, too narrow and intricate at its north end to be of much use, but broad and deep along the south coast and the lower half of the east coast of the island, so as to permit of easy and safe access by the Strait of Fuca to Victoria, the commercial harbour of the colony—to Esquimalt, its naval har bour—and by the Gulf of Georgia to Nanaimo and its coal mines—and to the Fraser River, the largest and most important stream in British Columbia, and the principal outlet for the commerce, and the agricultural, mineral, and other products of the country." The climate of Vancouver Island, of which the author gives an elaborate account, ap pears to be, on the whole, favourable. Thus from the Ist of April, 1860, to the Ist of April, 1861, 187 days were fine, the remainder being dull, showery, rainy, &c. Rain fell on 118 days, and snow fell on 12 days only, and then neither heavily nor for any length of time. The highest summer temperature was 72 deg. ; June, July, and August being the warmest months of the year; and the lowest was 231 deg., the coldest months being December, January, and February. Southerly winds prevail, as a rule, and occur in the proportion of 67 per cent. The climate of Vancouver Island is much superior to that of Canada, and " is milder and steadier than that of England ; the summer longer, drier, and finer, and the winter shorter and less rigorous. The mean annual temperate of the former is higher by 1.38 deg. than that of the latter. During the sum mer months the hot weather of Vancouver Island is not so oppressive, and the maximum tempera. ture is less by 14 deg. than that of London ; while in the winter the tempers lure never falls so low at Vancouver Island as in London ; and the annual range of the two places differs by 151 deg. in favour of Esquimalt." From a table to show the relative prevalence of rain at Esquimalt and London we find that rain falls in London once every two days, and at Vancouver Island only once in three days ; and the climate is said to be remarkably healthy. Vancouver Island, the author admits, is not likely to acquire the agricultural prominence of California and British Columbia, as neither its geological structure nor general topographical features fit it for an agricultural or pastoral colony. " 13y far the greater part of the island is hilly and moun tainous, and, in fact, forms the prolongation of the Olympian range, which, branching off from the Rocky Mountains to the south of California, rims up along the coast, traversing its entire length so as to form its back bone. A compara tively level peninsula, containing about 150 to 200 square miles, exists at the southern extremity of the island, in the neighbourhood of Victoria, formed by the Saanich and Sooke inlets, on which several fine farms and sheep stations are actively and profitably worked; but this cannot be taken as a criterion of what prevails over the island generally. The probability is that such another tract, equal in size and fer tility to the Victoria peninsula just alluded to, is not to be found over the entire island. The prospect from Victoria, which may be taken as a fair example of the general fea tures of the island throughout, though fine, is by no means inviting in a utilitarian point of view. It presents only a series of lofty, undulating, pine-clad hills, which rise irre gularly one behind another, and have small intervening valleys where patches of arable land exist ; but the hills themselves are generally so scantily covered with soil as barely to afford root to the scattered and stunted trees on their sides and summits." Such land, however, as is fitted for cultivation is of good quality; all kinds of English grain and vege tables grow readily, and it is anticipated that by draining, some of the lower parts of the islands will high are i m uywc wages, without.ge r ee e os iß e n d rd e a t pi n s e d hn wdc comfortableeoi n l l l ut rfindafhabor home, ee e rasd thea. m rh empt writer t l wa o r y y ag r a ue e si nt statest at: promises every f ac ili ty , be gre&tly improved.

In the In terior the climate is fine, mild, and dry, and superior to that along the Lower Fraser,' which still forms the principal route to the agricultural country." The soil being dry, irrigation is necessary, but, as the country abounds with streams, this is compara tively an easy task. The mineral wealth of both colonies is great, that of Vancouver Island consist. ing of building material and coal fields, whilst the gold and silver mines of British Columbia are pro bably the richest in the world. As a manufacturing and commercial colony the author considers that Vancouver Island will attain a high pitch of prosperity.

FLOWER SHOW AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE. Notwithstanding the threatening state of the thermometer in the early part of the day, the weather remained particularly favourable to the autumnal exhibition of flowers and fruit, which took place yesterday at the Crystal Palace, Sydenham. The directors claim the advantage of this establish ment being especially adapted to floricultural exhi bitions, from the fact that the most elegantly attired ladies can gain access to the building without the slightest danger to their costume. This advantage, however, was scarcely appreciable on this occasion, for the sun shone so genially upon the beautiful grounds that it was almost to be regretted that the greensward had not been chosen for the exhibition rather than the floor of the transept. Bat in what ever light the building or the flower show may be regarded, it can hardly be doubted that, amongst the many agreeable purposes to which the Crystal Palace may be devoted, there is none which more fully displays its beauties and advantages than an exhibition of flowers and fruit. All the arrange ments yesterday were carried out with that good taste and judgment which generally characterise the special attractions of this institution ; and the result was that a very large assemblage of visitors were enabled to enjoy one of the most agreeable promenades which have been presented by the directors during the present season. As regards the " show" itself, it would seem invidious to make comparisons ; but yesterday's experience certainly justifies the remark that, in testing the relative merits of the flowers and fruit, the latter might fairly claim the ascendancy. The judges appeared to be unanimous in their opinion that the present was one of the most satisfactory displays of the kind which has been seen in this building since it first opened its resources to such attractive objects. The collection of fruit was conspicuous both for variety and quality, and whether the standard of merit was taken to be " flavour" or " weight," it appeared that the most stringent requirements en joined by the rules were amply fulfilled. There were two pines—one weighing 71bs., the other 6-ilbs. —exhibited by Mr. Solomons, of Covent-garden — which were sufficiently tantalising to call forth ex pressions of the most wishful admiration ; and there were some tempting peaches, sent by Mr. Monro, of Barnet, which, though not stupendous in size, were of a complexion so delicately marked, that those who regarded them allowed the appeal to the eye to overcome any desire to gratify the sense of taste. The grapes and plums also presented many exaggerated specimens of those fruits, the dimen sions of the former being, in some instances, so tremendous, that one might almost imagine they sought to vie, in point of magnitude, with the larger proportions of the latter. Amongst the exhibitors many names might be honourably mentioned, but it would be invidious to individualise where so much excellence—or at least meritorious endeavour to attain excellence—was perceptible in every direc tion. Of the flowers, the most conspicuous were the large collection of the gladiolus, in which class the prize was won by Mr. Youett, of Great Yar mouth, whose share in the e xhibition of this flower was such as almost to convey the impression that hat distinguished floriculturist had devoted all his energies to the exclusive culture of this particular plant. There was also a good assortment of the same flower from Paris, but as these had evidently suffered from the effects of a sea-voyage, and as they were made to show their delicate heads from the necks of beer-bottles, it cannot be said that they were in a " fair way" to compete for the honours of the day with the more healthy-looking products of our own land. The asters, German and French (quite as distinct from each other in form as the German and French language are in sound), were conspicuous for thetr manifold beauties and colour and texture, while the dahlias, hollyhocks, and ver benas (to say little of the roses, which may now be said to have " seen their best days"), presented such a combination of beauties that it was impossible for the most casual observer to wander from one stand to another without regretting the necessity which existed for constantly changing the direction of the eye.

Cardinal Antonelli has addressed the following circular to the diplomatic body : " Rome Aug. 6. " The genius of rapacity which animates revolutionary governments has at all times manifested itself, more or less, by the war it declares against the Church, with a view to rob it of its temporal possessions. To drive monks from their cloisters in order to appropriate those buildings; to confiscate ecclesiastical property, under the pretence of its belonging to the state, to be arbitrarily disposed of— such is the system pursued by governments framed on the subversive principles of the revolution. Withthe misdeeds of the governments which have preceded it, the conduct of that government which, by an unjustifiable invasion and a flagrant outrage against the immutable laws of justice, and by trampling under foot the rights of their respective legi timate sovereigns, has subjected to itself several states of Italy, thoroughly agrees. " The arbitrary measures of that aggressive power, seiz ing on the property of religious establishments (treated by it so hostilely and dispersed), furnished the subject of the note which the undersigned Cardinal Secretary of State ad dressed in April, last year, to the hon. members of the dip lomatic body at the Holy See. That communication had for its object the prevention of the inhabitants of the coun try as well as foreigners from purchasing any of the pro perty which the said government might offer for sale, by warning them that all such purchases were null and void. On that subject the undersigned pointed out how iniquitous, as regards justice and honesty, the purchase of such pro perty would be. He afterwards mentioned the provisions of canon law which, with a view to defend and render in violate the patrimony of the Church, visit with censure and other severe punishments, both the usurpers of ecclesiasti cal property and all wbo in any manner assist or participate in those sacrilegious spoliations. At the same time he ob served that every one had been warned against those pur • chases by the solemn words of the Pope in the allocution of the 17th December of the previous year, an allocution in which his Holiness complained of and protested against the projected sale of ecclesiastical property, and loudly reproved and declared null and void all that might be done by the usurping government, regardless of the sacred rights and inviolable patrimony of the Church, and to the detriment of the religious corpora tions and of their properties. From that declaration evi dently results the nullity and the absolute invalidity of the purchase of property made by those who have usurped it without any right. " Since, however, in spite of the just protests of the august Chief of the Church, the government which projected that unjust spoliation persists in carrying it into execution, and that in consequence it puts forward different plans for effecting sales of ecclesiastical property, the undersigned finds himself compelled to return by the present note to a subject so much to be regretted, and once more to declare, in the name of the Holy Father, that whoever shall con clude any contracts with the usurping government, touch ing ecclesiastical property, whether it be sold or let on lease, or given as guarantee to the creditors of the said govern ment, or otherwise disposed of, will render himself an ac complice in attacks against the legitimate property of another, and in a sacrilegious violation of the ecclesiastical patrimony, and incur the canonical censures above alluded to, and find himself liable to have all the contracts com pletely nullified conformably to the solemn warning above mentioned of the Holy Father, warning to which his Holi ness intends to give full confirmation. To that end the Holy Father declares, in order that it may serve as a gene ral rule and close the door against any pretext, that the religious corporations, ecclesiastical establishments, and in general all institutions who are unjustly despoiled, that they always retain their rights over the property taken from them, and that the Church will never cease to claim the restitution from their unlawful possessors. "In addressing to your excellency, as well as to your honourable colleagues, the present communication, the ob• ject of which is above mentioned, the undersigned avails himself, &c., "G. ANTONELLI." CABMEN ON CAB-LAW. (From Punch.) I. The Cabmen of the metropolis, desirous only of obtain. ing their just rights, and of obtaining them by legitimate means, have abandoned the idea of a strike (on -Mr. Punch's hint about licences), and new wish to act reason ably. They have therefore drawn up the following heads of the Law, as they wish it to stand, and if public opinion is with them, they hope to get the Cab-Act amended next Session in conformity with the following memoranda :- 1. Free trade in cabs. Every driver to charge what he likes. 2. Tradesmen in other departments stick one price on the goods in the window and take another, and the Cabman ought to be allowed to do the same. 3. No person to ask for a ticket. 4. No number or badge of humiliation to be worn. 5. No number to be affixed to the cab. 6. No Magistrate to hear a case against a Cabman unless the complainant has at least four witnesses, and gives security for costs. 7. No Cabman to be obliged to go in a direction contrail to his wish. 8. No stranger to interfere in any dispute between a Cabman and his fare. 9.

Whatever may be the case at public meetings and recruiting offices, Wall-street does not ardently believe in the present good fortune or the future prospects of the Republic. Yesterday and to-day the air has been thick with rumours of disaster to the army of General Pope. Stocks have gone down, and gold has gone up, under the influence of evil reports ; and, as Mr. Secretary Stanton and the Military Supervisor of the Telegraph have not per mitted the transmission of any news that might tend to allay public anxiety, rumour has had the town to herself and made the most of the opportunity. One or two things, how ever, have been made certain by the concurrent testimony of letters from independent and uncon nected authorities received from the seat of war during the last few days. The first series of facts to be received as authentic is that General M'Clellan has safely withdrawn his whole force—sick and wounded, bag and baggage, stores and ammunition —from Harrison's Landing to Williamsburg and Yorktown; that he was neither harassed nor pur sued in the difficult operation ; and that he has already commenced the evacuation of the Peninsula and the transport of his forces to Fredericksburg to co-operate with the army of Virginia under General Pope for the defence of Washington. The second series is that the Confederates were thoroughly apprised of his plans—that if they did not attack him it was not because they could not, but because they would not ; that their object was to allow him to get away southward from Richmond, while they, by a sudden movement northward, bore down upon Gen. Pope, with the hope of crushing him before he could be reinforced either by Burnside or M'Clellan. It is the fear that this operation, conducted by the redoubtable " Stonewall" Jackson, has been success ful, which has filled New York with uneasy fore bodings. The friends of the South—who are very numerous in New York, in spite of the Provost- Marshal and Fort Lafayette, and who may be de tected without the utterance of a treasonable syllable or wish, and simply by the unctuous gusto with which they detail the news that seems to be un favourable to the Federal cause—believe that if Jackson defeat Pope he will make an easy prey of Burnside the next day, and of M'Clellan the day after—on the principle of " one down, the other come on ;" that this done, Washington will be at his mercy, and that Mr. Lincoln and his Cabinet will have nothing better to do than to take refuge in New York while there is yet time for them to escape—or, to use the favourite American slang of the day, to " skedaddle." The friends of the North, though not without misgivings, believe that Halleek, who directs the new movements, and ordered the retreat of M'Clellan, may be safely trusted to defeat the bold strategy of Jackson ; and that if the worst come to the worst, there will be a drawn battle for the defence of the national capital. They argue that the result of such a battle must be much more favourable to the North than the South, because it will allow time for the new levies to be brought into the field, after which the combined armies of Virginia and the Potomac, increased to 500,000 men, may march upon Richmond through the old road of Manassas, and take it at their leisure. But far more calculated to excite alarm than even the news from Virginia is that which comes from Kentucky and Tennessee. Mr. Lincoln needs all the men he will raise under the new draught for the retention of the Border States, and he must levy, not alone 600,000 mercenaries by ex travagant bribes of bounty money, but a million of stanch patriots, if he would bring the very " big job" which he has undertaken to a successful close. Kentucky has been invaded by the Confederates at several points. General G. W. Morgan, of the Federal army,—not to be confounded with the dashing guerilla leader, General John Morgan, — is sorely pressed in front and rear. Buell's rail road communication at Huntsville, Alabama, are cut off, and the whole of the conterminous States north of the 35th parallel of latitude swarm with guerilla bands, well trained and mounted, and sup ported by the ardent sympathy and ready encou ragement of the people. Ohio and Indiana are alarmed, and both are sending rapid reinforcements to the support of the Unionists across the Ohio, so that bloody events may be daily expected in those rich but unhappy countries. In Tennessee a body of Confederates, 900 strong, under a guerilla leader named Woodward, have taken the important town of Clarksville, at the con fluence of the Red River with the Cumberland, and but 50 miles from Nashville, where Governer Johnson, formerly a tailor and afterwards a senator, endeavours to rule with as inflexible a rod as Butler at New Orleans. There is also a report that Fort Donelson— of which the capture by the Federals in February last was the commencement of a run of luck that now seems to have turned in favour of the Confederates—has been abandoned as untenable. The names of guerilla chieftains new to fame are continually appearing in the journals, each at the head of hundreds, and in some instances of thousands of men. They take towns and vil lages not marked upon the maps, but which are re presented as thriving and populous, and valuable in a strategic point of view, from their command of important lines of railway communication. It is palpable that hard work has to be done in this region, and that all the efforts of Mr. Lincoln's Go vernment and Generals, and all the men he is in a position to levy, will be needed to keep those States in the Union, and that the boast of the Southern President that he could protract the war for 2 0 years after the fall of Richmond was not uttere d idly, nor without a full knowledge of his mean/ ri n d s opportunities and the temper of the people. h to no wonder that Wall-street is alarmed , th foreign eyes it is a wonder that Americo°aa:ene __.ate the rally do not fully understand and apr teey are en magnitude of the contest in which seem quite gaged, and from which their own ha tid incompetent to extricate them. ... e fortiter in r e , General Butler, having tried P` t be recalled from without any suaviter in mod°ed by General Dix.

New York has as yet felt none of the miseries of the war, but if General Butler be appointed to supersede its legal authorities it may fare hard with the men of the Empire city, to say nothing of the ladies; and both may learn to their sorrow, that a dress parade, flaunting banners, and martial music in Broadway are but one side of the war medal, and convey no idea of the gloom and horror of the other. All the contractors--saddlers, harness-makers, sutlers, shipbuilders, gun manufacturers, powder millers, ironfounders, army clothiers, and shoe makers, provision and cattle dealers,—in fact, all the nouveaux riches who have profited by the war and {r. Chase's illimitable paper issues—from five cents upwards —are exceedingly anxious that hosti lities should continue, and consequently that volun teering, rather than the draught, should fill up the ranks of the old Army of the Potomac and form two or three new armies of double the number.

The result of these feel ings throughout the North has been to give a great impetus to voluntary enlistment. Bounties have gradually increased from 150 dollars to double, and in some localities to treble that amount, and those among the rich who have not acquired fortunes by war contracts, and who fear that an impartial con scription may force them from their homes to share the unwelcome perils of the fled, have exhibited a liberality that may be called either patriotic or selfish at the option of the critic, and offered inducements of huge pecuniary amount, with the hope of render ing a conscription unnecessary. Meetings are daily held in every great town in the North with this: view, and the result already appears to he that the first draught of 300,000 men will be obtaixed at a cost of something like £5O a head, partly at the e xpense of the Federal and State Goveinment and partly at that of cities, corporations, and individnals; and that in some districts where labour is not in great request, and where rich men, or perhaps men who are both timid and rich, are amorous, the quota of the second, or compulsorf 300;000; will. also be filled by volunteerii:* The first draught will thus cost £15,000,000 sterling!, irrespective of pay , and appointments; 'and t he seCen d, if the immense exertions of the rich are successful in preieriting the infliction and..scandal 01 a dringht, will certainly cost a much larger, sum.

The prin cipal recruiting officers for these new levies, in addition to the almighty dollar, which is the main agent, are Archbishop Hughes and Generals Sickles, Meagher, and Corcoran. All of these, by a remark able coincidence, are as violently anti-British as they are violently pro-Federal. Archbishop Hughes shares the theological as well as political hatred of the Irish Roman Catholics towards Great Britain, and blows the war blast with no uncertain note in that direction. General Sickles is the person who a few years ago, when attached to the United States' Legation in London, refused to drink the health a the Queen at Mr. Peabody's table. From this little incident his animus against Great Britain may be inferred. General Corcoran is the person who, when the Prince of Wales was in this country, re fused to turn out with his company of militia to do his royal highness the honour that everybody else was anxious to bestow. From this episode in his caree his animus may also be inferred with equal certainty. General Meagher is " Meagher of the Sword," who shared in the dangers of Mr. Smith O'Brien's revolution, and is a gentleman who bates England in proportion to the mercy extended to him on that occasion. With the dollars of contrac tors and others to aid them on the one side, and the fear of the conscription on the other, these four in fluential persons have wrought to good purpose within the last 10 days; and members of the Go vernment at Washington have been known in the unguarded moments of social and convivial inter course to congratulate themselves and the country on the good luck that not only sent Archbishop Hughes from London and Colonel—now General — Corcoran from long captivity at Richmond, to aid them so opportunely, but that permitted Generals Sickles and Meagher to be simultaneously available for stirring up the Irish. Altogethe r the prospects for another million of men to be cast into the de vouring maw of the War Demon are brighter than they were a fortnight ago, and the inevitable end, so far as American agencies are concerned, is ad ' ourned sine die. EXIBAORDINARY ROBBERY FROM A LOAN OFFICE. (From the Liverpool Mercury.) William Lewis, the young man remanded on the charge of being concerned in the robbery of £219 in gold from the office of the Liverpool Loan and Investment Company, Duke-street, and Ann Jones, his aunt, also remanded on the charge of receiving part of the money knowing it to have stolen, were again brought up. Mr. Superintendent Kehoe, stating that the young fellow Thomas had not been apprehended, asked that the prisoners might be further remanded. He also informed the magistrate that an officer of the London police had been dis missed in consequence of not having apprehended Thomas when he had an opportunity of doing so. As this statement requires some little explanation, it may be mentioned that a few days after the rob bery took place Mr. Kehoe received information from the metropolis that a person answering the description of the young man forwarded from Liver pool was then staying at the Tavistock Hotel, Covent-garden, and was passing under the name of Trevor. Mr. Kehoe immediately telegraphed to London requesting that an active intelligent officer might be sent to the Tavistock to apprehend Mr. Trevor, at the same time forwarding, for his gui dance a correct and most minute description of the gentleman " wanted." It should be stated that a day or two after the robbery the detective police of Liverpool intercepted a telegram from Thomas, sent Tavistock Hotel, and to his mother—the female prisoner—informing her of Trevor, and directing that he was staying at the had assumed the name Trevor her to give money" Bill - m t e o a ni takeng the there was not the slightest Lewis sufficientptorisLononer don ; so that there doubt that /1 , 0 3as the Liverpool thief, were one at the Tavistock, and Thomas and the sam e person.

He saw at once that Thomas was the fellow he wanted, went up to him, and inquired if his name was Trevor. The thief said it was, and the officer then told him that he wanted him for a robbery of £219 at Liverpool. With the greatest effrontery Thomas replied, " Oh, you are mistaken, officer ; I am Captain Charles Trevor, residing near Llandudno." The detective told him if he was Captain Trevor he had a message to apprehend him. " My good fellow," said Thomas, " I assure 3 on you are mistaken; bit I don't blame you for trying to do your duty. What will you have to drink ?" Mr. Detective took some porter, remained drinking for some time with Thomas and his friend, and at length departed from the hotel, leaving the young men there puffing their cigars. When he was gone Thomas told the young man that he had purposed go ing to the Exhibition, but he thought he should not go then, and Wished him good night also tell ing him he might see hi m i n the morning, or he might not see him again for ten years. Thomas then proceeded to a barber's shop, and was there divested of his moustache and a slight hirsute ap pendage to his chin, and nothing has since been heard of him. Under these circumstances the police officer—a sergeant of detectives—was very properly dismissed. The prisoners were remande. OUR DUCAL HousEs.--With the exception of those two ducal titles which have been won by a Churchill and a Wellesley respectively, and to some extent at least, a few others which owe their existence to King Chatles IL, the rest of the titles which stand in the highest rank of our nobility are mostly the tesult of the fusion of two, three, or more fortunes together by the marriage of heiresses, Thus the proud Dukedom of Norfolk has absorbed into itself the castle and broad acres of fife Fitzalans, Earls of Arundel, and the Duke of Richmond has added a large Scottish rent-roll to his English estates, through his grandmother, the heiress of the Dukes of Gordon ; thus, the noble house of Buckingham (we speak of half a century ago), had grown great in the same way, by the addition of the Temple to the Grenville property, and, subsequently, by absorbing the inheritance of the princely Chandos, and that of the old Earls Nugent; the Duke of Bucclench has united in himself, by a similar pro cess, the wealth of the Queensberries, the Douglassos, and the Moßtagues ; and thus, too, the Duke of Sutherlan f d, o more recent times, has incorporated together with the ancient inheritance of the Levesons of Staffordshire and the Gowen; of Yorkshire, the entire estates belonging t o two Scottish heiresses, who brought as their marriage portions the lordship of nearly the latter the w hole of two no r th ern and un able to digest a further counties, those of Sutherland and Cr° lnartY * In deed, so vast has been the absorbing proce ss ill most ous aemply endowed, in the ease, that, has thrown off two as if sated with its wealth, youngersupply, teahodeltasbtr-annacmhesed, eacdnoalb persons of the Ear l of 011ea mer e and Earl Granville.— ' Once a Wolk
