LONDON, THURSDAY, FEB, 27, 1862. Another Wednesday's sitting. What shall we say of it? Not so very bad after all; it shows, indeed, but one bill passed or adopted, and two got rid of by withdrawal or by a hostile majority. Mr. HADFIELD'S "Whipping Bill" was nct how ' ever whipped out of the House. On the contrary, the Government undertook to attend to one half of it itself, and asked Mr. HADFIELD to render the second half more effective for its object in a new bill, ISir G. GREY promising his cordial support. The first half prohibited the infliction of corporal punish ment in gaols upon refractory prisoners—the Go vernment has this subject under consideration in connection with reports of the prison inspec tors, and will include it in their measure. In the second half Mr. HADFIELD proposed, when whipping was ordered for juvenile delinquents, that the instrument should be named in the sen tence, and also the number of strokes to be given. Sir FREDERICK SMITE bore testimony to the inu tility of flogging in the army after a ten years' experience, in which he had managed his re giment without it; Mr. HENLEY firmly denounced the flogging of children of tender age. Mr. SOTUERON ESTCOURT did not seem to be so much opposed to it, he intimated that the virtues for which we all respect him so much, may have been due not only to native goodness, but to the salutary operations of the birch at school. The memory of them at least survived till last night, and will, we hope, long survive. Mr. HADFIELD'S other bill,—that relating to Qualifications for Offices, was carried by a majority of 13, Mr. NEWDIGATE having moved that its third reading be deferred for six months. The Commons having floated it once more into the Upper House, we would venture a hope that the Lords will not renew their Jew Bill policy, in regard to this bill. They cannot pretend that the Christian religion is even touched by it; they do not affirm that the declaration it abolishes is any protection to the established sect of Christianity itself; their only arguments, if such they can be called, for they are rather expressions of mere prejudice and feel ing, are—First, that it serves to show, as Lord CHELMSFORD said, the " predominance" of the Est .blished Church ; next, that is one of a series of attacks on the Established Church. We submit once more that this is not the arm to continue badges of humiliation for religious ° opinion, when no pressing necessity i s met by them. Their lord ships would do wisely to showthe a preference for equalizing in every way privileges and position of all loyal subjects, be they of What treed they may, As to the attacks on the Church, it is bad policy to ; 'call every reasonable demand for equal civil 1 position by such a name. The Declaration is felt justly by Dissenters to be rather an attack on them, and they ask to have it withdrawn. As the weaker body, they might more reasonably urge that it should be a declaration on the part of Churchmen not to injure dissent. Lord DERBY, we hope, will not be found insensible to such con siderations as these; he would do wisely to consult his son on the subject. , The chief discussion of the evening, however, was over an old quarrel. Mr. COLLIER had taken from Lord DERBY'S Reform Bill one provision which he thought a good one, and worked it up into a bill of his own, and, naturally enough, he expected the support of the Tories; he was guilty only of the serious political blunder of forgetting that the Tories now sit on the opposite side of the House, where, of course, all things appear in quite another light. In 1859 to convey borough voters in cabs to the polling booth appeared like an abuse which it was desirable to abolish. It was a kind of bribery then. Now it is no abuse, but a reasonable thing ; no bribery, but a kind consideration for the busy shopkeeper and for the working man R ho has only his dinner hour for " rushing to the poll." The Tory reformers of 1859 attempted indeed to raise up some difficulties be tween their own proposition and that of Mr. COL LIER, but the only one was that they had proposed voting papers, which had been found in committee which examined the question to be impracticable. Nothing remained but the fact that the same thing looks to them very different when offered by a Tory Government and by a Liberal member. As to the merits of the case—the unfair tax on the members is the real objection. It is virtually part of a property qualification. If one member furnishes cabs in the majority of cases, the other member must do the same. In some constituencies, like those of the metropolis, the expense is con siderable; in the smaller ones it is nothing. But as to the artificial boroughs, like Shoreham and a few others, which the Reform Bill brought within its schedules by including half the county almost within their bounds they have no claim to consideration Whatever. They are an abuse themselves, which any decent Reform Bill would at once abolish. We cannot deny that carry ing a man to the poll, if nothing else be done, is hardly to be called bribery. Few, indeed, will vote for the pleasure of a cab ride. If they did, their political indifference must be such that the bribery would be rather bribery to vote, than to with draw the vote from a particular candidate. The vote would not, as in the other case, count for two. We take the Tory majority, however, as an in dication of their pleasure in opposing anything for which a Whig Home Secretary speaks and votes, or which has the slightest appearance of Parliamentary Reform. It is the first Wednesday snubbing of that subject, and is intended to warn all Bit-by-bit Reformers that bits of reform are as unpalatable to Conservative taste as larger portions. The Tories desire to retain every appliance of corrupt influence yet left them, and will not part With a single one of the still remaining means of purchasing or of coercing voters, or of keeping men from becoming candidates who have not either long purses them selves, or the Carlton purse, if needed. We have at length obtained the text of the re markable address pronounced by the venerable Archbishop of WARSAW upon the henceforth ever memorable occasion of the re-opening and purifica tion of the ancient cathe6 ral there. It is a docu ment that it is absolutely impossible for any thinking man amongst us to read without emotion. For we read it with the remembrance, not only of recent occurrences there in Poland, occurrences in them selves sufficiently afflicting, but in the recollection of all the past glories and mournful history of that mangled and half-murdered nationality. We read it with an ever-present sense the while of the infernal barbarities inflicted upon successive generations of Poles, alike upon men and women and children, by-their banded spoliators and op pressors. And while so reading it we recall to mind on one hand the resplendent heroism of the race, thus systematically trodden down into the dust—the heroism displayed so often by that great race so long as it was enabled to preserve its in dependence among the Powers of Christendom— and upon the other hand the noble and Christian endurance of grief upon grief, and injustice upon injustice by their reviled but unsullied descendants. Than the exordium of the Archbishop's address upon the occasion referred to at Warsaw, none surely could have been in any way more solemn and impressive. Adoration, submission, prayer, endurance—these were the fitting themes selected in the first instance by the venerable dignitary, to be descanted upon by him before his eager and breath lessly listening congregation. Having thus prepared the way for what was to follow, " I approach," said the Archbishop, "the most delicate and difficult ques tion of which I have to treat. If some one forbad you to pray to GOD, and to lay before Him the wants of your heart, if any authority whatsoever prohibited your praying, I should say to you, .Do not obey that authority,' for before this duty to wards GOD disappears all duty towards men. If anyone forbad you to pray for your country, for that land which we all love, if any authority what soever forbad you to pray for the bsppiness and welfare of our country, again I should say to you, 'Do not listen to such authority, for that would be wrong.' In truth, if we were ever to cease to pray for our country, I should pray God that he would remove me from this land, and that the Polish women might be stricken with barrenness. But no one can prevent us from praying for our coun try." Having said this much, the Archbishop then went on to remark :—" A question has, however, now arisen with regard to certain songs and hymns which the church has not authorised, and which 1 require you to no longer sing. To give up certain hymns is not to give up prayer. We can and we ought all to present to God our dearest wants. I am happy to open to-day the churches in which we can again meet to pray ; but I conjure, I entreat you, for the good of the country, to cease for a time from singing the prohibited hymns. Those hymns were good, for they expressed to the authorities what were our wishes; but now the autho rities know our desires and what we desire." That was the gist of the Lord Archbishop's charge to his people—but with this injunction he coupled many fair auguries of happier times to come, of a fairer epoch for them all. The learned and virtuous ecclesiastic manifestly spoke of his own reawakened hopes from the fullness and the depth of his own earnest convictions. He had seen himself, he had talked himself with his Imperial Majesty the Czar _A LEXANDER IL—and fresh from those interviews, fresh from those conversations, the Archbishop of Warsaw avows him self to be sanguine of good days for Warsaw and her citizens, nay, for all Russian Poland and its population. Not only does he hope thus himself, but wearing upon his head the mitre. and bearing in his hand the croz'er, he solemnly avows in the reopened cathedral of Warsaw:—.“ Th us I come and desire you to share in a blessed hope. The Sovereign wishes to satisfy the wants of our country. I have conversed with the Sovereign at length, and he has told me that he wishes to deprive us neither of our nationality nor of our re ligion ; that he will fulfil his promises and give us all that we want ; but he makes it a condition that the country shall be tranquil, and the prohibited hymns no longer be sung, Therefore, my brethren, I conjure and implore you, in the name of GOD, of peace, and of the country, cease for a certain time from singing those hymns." It must certainly have required a remembrance of the worth of the man who uttered these words, to render them endurable among those who listened to their utterance. Cease from singing the proscribed hymns and songs the Poles of Warsaw may do, out of respect for the urgent entreaties and impressive mandates of their revered archbishop. But—hope in the fair promises of the autocrat ALEXANDER 11. ! Ah, that is most certainly quite another thing. Seeing the fulfilment and realisation of those fair promises, will be be lieving them, with the citizens of Warsaw—not simply talking about them, or thinking about them. The Polish nation has been so often before now and so frightfully deceived that there is no possibility any longer of their falling again under the glamour of their old hallucinations. The time for such lovely but illusory day-dreams at ,War saw has, alas ! long, long since passed by. It is with considerable satisfaction that we call attention to an account of Mr. GREGORY'S explo ration of the North-West portion of the Australian continent, which will be found in another part of this day's publication.l'lt is gratifying to find that this expedition has succeeded in its object without the loss of any of the party, and that the re sults of the inspection are most satisfactory. The plan of the expedition was well conceived and ably carried out. The party proceeded to Nicol's Bay, which is situated about 20 deg. 40m. South latitude and 116 deg. 45m, East longitude, and there disembarked their horses and stores, the ship (the Dolphin, Captain Dixon) remaning in the Bay until their return. The first expedition was to the South-west, and Mr. GREGORY succeeded with a portion of his party in reaching the Lyons River at a point to which a former survey of his of that river had extended ; he then retraced his steps, partly on his outward track and partly by a circuitous route reached the bay, having travelled in this, the first trip, 780 geographical miles. After a short rest, to restore the fatigued horses, the party set out again, this time taking an easterly direction. The country thus explored is well watered, two larg rivers running from the interior having been met with and followed up for a considerable distance. One of these Mr. GREGORY considers to be a main artery of the continent, and regrets that he was unable, owing to the lateness of the season, to follow it up farther. Besides these, there are numerous streams and tributaries. The country thus partially explored extends between the paral lel's 20 deg. 24 deg. south latitude, and 116 deg. 121 deg. east longitude, This is of course a rough estimate, but it will serve to show the extent of the exploration and its position on the mar. The ground is in many places rocky and sandy, but wide tracts of grazing land are to be found on the banks of the streams, and much of it is highly suit able for agriculture. For a district situated in the tropics the climate seems to be most satisfactory ; but it must be remembered that it was during the winter that the observations were taken. " Of the climate I can only say that during the five months we remained on the coast we never experienced the' same inconvenience from it that we frequently have done within the limits of the settled districts of the colony ; the weather was, however, principally fine, and the sky clear during our stay, only two showers having occurred, one at the latter end of May and the other in June ; the meteoro logical register at Nickel Bay shows the following results, from observations taken at all hours of the day and night : Thermometer. Maximum. Minimum. May BO .. 65 June July 7B .. 56 August September October Under the peculiar circumstances of the thermometer being placed on a sand• bank in the sun during the hot days in October, it rose to 178 deg. of Fahrenheit, whiist the lowest it ever fell to was up the hills in July, when it was 2 deg. below freezing just before sunrise." Mr. GREGORY considers that this district is highly calculated to produce cetton. In concluding his narrative, be states, after summing up his ob servations, that it only remains for him to give an opinion on the capabilities of the country for colonisation : " It would be almost impossible to particularise the posi tions or define the limits of country adapted for grazing purposes, beyond the reference already made to them. The total amount of land available for this purpose within the limit of our route I should estimate at not less than two or three millions of acres, and of this I may safely say 200,000 are suitable for agricultural purposes, the greater portion of which lies on the two flanks of the Hamersley Range, on the banks of the De Grey and its tributaries, and on the lower Sherlock. " Of the fitness of this district for the growth of wool, which, on account of its being an intertropical country, it is gene: ally supposed it would be unsuitable, I would re mark that its elevation above the sea appears likely to obviate the utjection, and render it probably that cheep may not degenerate in the same way they are found to do in other tropical countries; at any rate, flocks are now being pushed over on the same latitude in Queensland, and we do not hear of the wool-grower complaining that such is the case there. "As to its fitness for the growth of cereals, it is quite possible that wheat and barley may not come to the same degree of perfection they do in the more temperate latitudes of Auslralia, but there is no reason to doubt its capability of growing sufficient grain for the sup port of a numerous population. "What it appears more highly qualified for than any thing else is the growth of cotton—a question which at the present juncture cannot be lost sight of. From my per sonal observation of the cultivation of this plant hi Egypt, and the attention I have recently paid to this subject while in Europe, I feel confident that a very considerable portion of the arable lands on the De Grey and Sherlock are pre cisely the soils adapted for the production of this valuable commodity. As, however, I purpose to make this the sub ject of a more lengthy paper at a future period, 1 will not now venture to enlarge upon it." I❑ concluding these remarks on the rapid deve lopment of this fine country, we heartily congratu• late the inhabitants of Western Australia in having succeeded so well in this, the first step towards the exploration of the interior ; for we cannot believe that Mr. GREGORY will rest content until he has followed one of those fine rivers to its source, and penetrated into the heart of the as yet terra incognita. One of the great secrets of the satisfactory issue of tlis expedition is, that there were not too many masters, and that the party seems to have been properly organised. Had the expedition of the bold but unfortu nate BURKE not been divided against each other, and acted with one accord, the catastrophe might have been aveited. The matter is under investi gation by the proper authorities in Victoria, and we will not prejudge the case; but we cannot but lament that such an energetic and devoted explorer as BURKE should thus have been sacrificed to mis management. He had at least the proud satisfac tion of being the first man who had ever succeeded in crossing the continent, and although fate denied him the satisfaction of receiving the honours which awaited him in Melbourne, he must have felt that his fame would live after him and his name be remembered as one of the benefactors of his country. ILLNESS OF LORD CHIEF JUSTICE COCKBURN. —Last evening, on the learned judge's return home from Guildhall, he was seized with severe illness, so m uch 50 that he was precluded from sitting in his court this morn ing. On inquiry this morning at his Lordship's residence the answer given was, that the learned judge was in much the same state, but nothing serious was anticipated. LATEST NEWS. PARIS, FEB. 27. The Noniteur of to-day contains the following order of the Minister of Public Instruction : "Considering that Professor Renan, in the speech delivered by him at the opening of his course of lectures, put forward doctrines offensive to Christian belief, and which might bring on lamentable excite ment, the lectures of Professor Renan are suspended until further orders."

Mr. Ainsworth has certainly struck upon a rich vein in his new serial story now appearing from month to month as the feature in Bentley's Miscel lany. His latest instalment, the one adorning the March number of that popular periodical, is the very best that has yet made its appearance. The occasion described is still the Lord Mayor's-day in 1761—exactly a hundred years ago on the 9th of last November. The romancist is yet in the midst of his radiant description of the pageantry and pomp attendant upon that antique ceremonial. Sir Gresham Lorrimer is surrounded, as usual upon these occasions, with all the civic splendour inciden tal to the instalment of the chief, magistrate of the City of London. His generous nature shines out more and more delightfully upon us. And we appreciate his good qualities all the more from their contrast with the petty foibles, and vanities, and littlenesses of all kinds distinguishing th'e rest of the family, with the single exception of his youngest and favourite daughter. The incident of the dilemma into which the Lady Mayoress is plunged, all of a sadden, by reason of the extrava gant height of her preposterous head-dress, is most humorously imagined and describtel. It is not, however, in regard to tl:e minor characters of the story, such as the vainglorious Queen of the City, that the principal interest of the tale will be found to consist —at any rate in the present instalment. It is rather in the vivid revival by Mr. Ainsworth's luminous and skilled pencil of a whole century since, with all its forgotten fashions and habits, and with all its extinct historic personages. One after another appear upon the scene the young King George 111., then in his twenty-third year, and but newly seated upon his throne—his young bride, the Queen Char lotte—the then still well preserved Princess Dowa ger of Wales, the King's mother—her arch favourite, the unpopulat Earl of Bute—and in the midst of a crowd of other celebrities, the paragon of the age, the cynosure of all eyes, the idol of the whole people, the future Earl of Chatham, then Mr. Pitt, known to all Europe, loved by all England, under his magnificent title of the Great Commoner ! The description Mr. Ainsworth gives of this illus trious man is so really admirable in every point of view, that we here give it by way of quotation. Here, then, is Mr. Pitt—" the mightier father of the mighty son !" " S, me description must be attempted of the personal ap pearance of one of the first of England's statesmen, and in comparably her greatest orator, though we despair of giving an idea of that marvellously expressive countenance, cast in the preudest mould, and stamped by the loftiest intelli gence—the magnificent brow, made marble pale by constant thought—the eagle eye, that penetrated the vet y soul of him on whom it fell—the aquiline nose—the haughty lips, which could give vent to such a flood of eloquence as none other ever poured forth. These were his lineaments ; but to judge of their full effect, you should have seen them kindled by the fiery soul within, the eye flashing lightnings, the lips breathing scorn, and every feature impressed with the thought to which the eloquent tongue gave utterance. You should have seen his tall majestic figure, thin and wasted by the cruel malady to which he was a martyr, reared to its full height—have marked his tiatrician look and deportment, his dignified and appropriate gestures—and above all, have listened to his won derful delivery—grand, sonorous, impassioned, persua sive, menacing, terrible—thunder not more awful than his loudest and deepest tones. ' England,' said Frederick the Great, speaking of Pitt, ' has at length brought forth a man.' Nature, indeed, as we have just endeavoured to show, had endowed the Great Commoner with her richest gifts—a stately person, a noble countenance, an eagle glanse, and a magnificent voice, susceptible of every variety of intona tion, persuasive in argument, terrific in invective." As a contrast to this portraiture, take the follow ing rapid but vivid sketch of THE DUKE OF CUMBERLAND. "Attired in a magnificent military costume, and wearing the blue riband and a star, the hero of tulloden looked painfully ill, and as if his days were numbered. At this juncture he was slowly recovering from a severe paralytic attack, which for a time had deprived him of the use of his limbs, and he had ether bodily ailments besides. With difficulty, and only by the aid of two servants, had he been got into his coach. Naturally harsh and repulsive, his fea tures were now swollen and distorted, the mouth being drawn down on the left side, while his bloodshot eyes and truculent looks seemed to justify the epithet of 'the butcher,' bestowed upon him for the severity with which he had treated the unfortunate Scots during the rebelli n. The Duke was not popular with 'the multitude, and very few cheers greeted him as he entered Pall-mall. Evidently offended at the sullen silence of the throng, and with the looks almost of aversion cast at him by some of them, he scowled fiercely around, and threw himself back in his carriage." As a token of how well the romancist is up in the mere " costume" of the period, take this brilliant little pencilling of a balcony-full of great people a hundred years back in Pall..mall. " At the corner of St. James's-street a balcony was erected, which was filled with well-dressed personages of both sexes—beaux, young and old, in flowered velvet, or cloths trimmed with gold, not of the dusky and monotonous hues now in vogue, but of every variety of tint, rich bro caded waistcoats, perukes of every possible shape, high foretops, pigeons' wings, bobs, bags, flat - ties, and Rawil lies. These gentlemen were too well bred to remain covered in the presence of ladies, but carried their three-cornered laced hats under their arms and trifled with their snuff boxes and clouded canes, though some of the more elderly among them protected their hands from the cold by muffs. Here also the female fashions of the day were fully exhi• bited—sacques of silk and satin of all the colours in the rainbow, tabby sacques, white and silver sacques, pink-and white-striped tobine sacques, and brocaded lustring sacques, with a ruby-coloured ground ; fly-caps, Mecklen burg caps, Ranelagh mobs, turban rolls, and ' heads' of the astounding size already described." The description given at the close of the last chap ter us yet published of this most interesting story about" The Lord Mayor of London," giving an account, as it does, of the Banquet itself, whets one's appetite rather than satiates it, and renders the reader curious for the "pippins and cheese" that are doubtless to follow. The Edinburgh Beview . No. 233. Longman. It is very seldom that an inteil!gent and culti vated reader takes up a number of the fflinburgh without finding something to interest and atiTriet him. The ability which is brought to the discus sion of the subjects, whether classic, political, social, or literary, is always of high order; and wLen some great question has been agitating the public mind during the quarter, we naturally turn with interest to the new number of the great northern serial, sure to find it discussed with vigour and in telligence within the magic blue and yellow cover. In the present instance, the affair of the Trent, has so often occupied our attention in these columns that we need only commend the article on " Bellige rents and Neutrals" for the moderation of its tone, and the clearness and force of its arT:uments. An essay on Professor Thomas Muller's receni ctures on the Science of Language will interest philologist. A subject of greater practical impor tance is, however, discussed in the article on " Wrecks, Lifeboats, and Lighthouses," which is founded on those startling returns which of late years have impressed the publii mind with a sense of the frequency and fatality of our marine disasters. We have often called attention to this subject, and are glad to see-that several important contributions to the Lifeboat Fund, testify the increased appre ciation of the services of the National Lifeboat In stitution. Much, however, remains to be done, and the urgent demand for harbours of refuge on some parts of our coasts is still unresponded to. With regard to one , important cause of wreck and damage, it is remarked in the article before us that, notwithstanding all precautions, the increased num ber and rapidity of maritime communications, the multitude ofsteamers runn ing with prodigious speed, and too often the recklessness of seafaring men who know their losses are covered by the insurance, have increased the number of collisions to a lamentable and disgraceful extent. After remarking that from the experience of the last 11 years, we may justly conclude that we have in our seas and chan nels no inconsiderable portion of the total wrecks of the world, the writer goes on to cite some inte resting statistics which have been already pub lished, but cannot be too generally known : We learn that during the period from 1852 to 1860 in clu-ive, without comprehending the Channel Islands, 1,820,062 voyages were made by British ships, and 389,616 by foreign ships, that is, in all no less than British ports. This very lare tofal mus o ylou y - 2,209,678 voyages were mad e in the last nine years e from prehend a principal portion of the voyages pert ormed on all seas. In such a number of voyages we should be prepared, from a consideration of the ordinary perils of marine travel, to expect no small amount of disasters ; yet our expecta tions would fall short of the actual amount authentically reported, for in the nine years just passed, from 1852 to 1860 inclusive, the casualties which happened to British ships were 8,660 in number; to foreign ships, 1,676; and consequently to both 10,336. That more than ten thousand disasters should have attended the voyages of the last nine years will, doubtless, appear to all readers a very remark able and melancholy fact. It is a fact which not only has never before been brought under public notice, but also one which upon other than special authority would hardly be received as entitled to credit. Such, however, is the un deniable truth, which may be rendered still more striking by showing the rate per cent. of these calamities in rel a ti on to the number of voyages accomplished. This rate is as 1' in 210 for British ships, as 1 in 232 for foreign ships, and as 1 in 213 upon the total. Of the whole nine years alluded to, the year 18.59 was signalised by the maximum of wrecks and casualties includ ing collisions, the total number being 1,416; but the year 1860 was not far behind its predecessor, as its black record to bears the number 1,379 . Whether it be owi ng the in creasing vigilance of the reporters and the more vigorous use of ample means, or whether we may ascribe it to the actual increase of the calamities themselves , cannot be de termined, but the fact is plain, th a t instead Ofdm as the years advance, there Is a cons id era bl e annual frig crease in the number of wrecks and casualties from the year 1855 to 1860. The Saints of Salt Lake are discussed, and a com parison instituted between Captain Burton's clever narrative and M. Jules Remy's recent account of his visit to the territory of Utah. It is amusing to learn the view taken by the saints of the probable issue of the present struggle. 113, a grimly r wi—tteA We We ere informed that the pro sent American troubles are not only signs of the just vengeance of God, but the vis ble preparation for the uni versal ascendancy of his chosen people, The North and South will (pally decline in wealth and population by m , ens of this internecine war, till the appointed hour when tue Saints shall arise in their unexhausted vigour, and marching eastward repossess the land of their fathers, re build the temple of Nauvoo, and establish, amid the ruins of th© follies and crimes of generations, the millennial America of restored humanity. In the meantime Utah, unceasingly replenished from the populations of Europe, and affording the only possible asylum to the victims of American confusion, will stand apart, the witness and in strument of the Will of God. Discouraging as the present aspect of affairs is to American well-wishers we fear the Saints' general anticipations will be shared in by few. It is justly observed, elsewhere, in this paper, that " the weakest believer in the progress of mankind can show no examples of the permanence of a system founded on a descent in the standard of morality deliberately adopted." A cordial tri bute to Mrs. Norton's poetical talents accompanies a very favourable criticism on her new work, The " Luly of La Garaye," in which the elevated tone of thought, and the mournful pathos of the poem receive deserved commendaticn. An able sum mary of the state of affairs at the opening of George the Third's reign, is given in an essay founded on Mr. May's Constitutional History. The narrowness of the King's mind, and the ob stinacy of his determination, are dwelt upon, and the source of the discontent of the people and the difficulties of the Administration are rightly traced to the infatuation of the monarch who set out on his career with the deliberate intention of turning the nation backwards, and of undoing all the work that had been done in 1688, and of sacrificing the gains bought at a dear price by Crown and reople in the great Civil War. An essay on " Felix Mendelssohn," one of the most fortunate, as well as one of the most gifted of men, is full of interest. It is justly observed that, "Among the histories of hope deferred, of powers wasted, of faculties half developed, of passions forced into preternatural activity, which the biography of musicians includes, the virtuous, brilliant, and suc cessful career of Felix Mendelssohn stands alone and apart." Alas that a career so favoured by Nature and by Fortune should have been so brief ! That "the blind fury with the abhorred shears" should have " slit the thin spun life" when the great artist's powers had barely reached their full de velopment. But, as the writer observes, if Felix Mendelssohn died in early manhood it was in the meridian of his fame) and the public success and private happiness of his life was such as is seldom granted to mortals ; most rarely of all to those favoured children of genius, whose keener suscepti bilities render them more quickly sensitive to sorrow at the same time that the elevation of their powers renders them a mark for the attacks of envy and prejudice. The Wild Sports of India. By Major Henry Shakespeare. Second edition. Smith, Elder, and Co: That Major Shakespear's work should lave been favourably received by the public is nothing more than was to be expected. An author who sets out with the desire of imparting useful information on a subject in which he is a proficient for the benefit of tyros, rather than for the sake of writing for writing sake, is guided by practical experience rather than by the desire of producing a grand effect. This with a man of Major Shakespear's knowledge of woodcraft in India is certain to succeed. On the publication of the first edition we gave a general notice of the work, and called attention to some passages remarkable for good sense and judgment. Many additions have, however, been made in the second edition, mostly relating to precautions which it is necessary that the youngsportsman should avail himself of when in pursuit of wild beasts. ghat in the excitement of the chase a man will voluntarily occur dangers to secure his game, which, on calmer m9ments he would never dream of encountering, is well known ; but why should not the hunter have method in his madness as well as other people. The ability to take advantage of the peculiarities of the ground, how best to avoid or deal with an antago nist at close quarters and other expedients to be made use of in cases of emergency, is a life assur- ance of which the proprietor reaps the benefit in stead of his heirs. A careful perusal of Major Shakespear's experiences and adventures will be of great service to those who are about to visit Hindos tan and are partial to exciting sport, and highly interesting to the general reader from the plain straightforward and matter-of-fact way in which he describes feats the most daring, and contretemps the most unpleasant. The author, in his preface to this edition, states that he has added considerably to the details which may be useful to the sportsman going out to India, both for his health, comfort, and safety. He also reminds parents that by those youths who take no delight in field-sports his book will be laid aside like any other s'ory book; while on the other hand the boy whose mind is bent on encountering that which is excit ing ana dangerous, will not be restrained from gratifying his desire by his ignorance of the modus operandi. With the exception of these general instructions being more complete, there is little to be said of the present edition, in ad dition to what has already been said in a previous notice. The description of hog-hunting is very exciting, and the hints thrown out to the novice are so placed in the narrative of various hunts, that their value is felt at once. Major Shake spear was successful as a tiger hunter, and, as he says of himself, was on one occasion instrumenta l under Providence in destroying two man-eaters. These are tigers which, despising inferior game' devote all their energies to the destruction of the human race. This class is, however, only excer tional, and fortunate it is for the natives that it ig so. The author mentions an instance of a tigress who killed during three years the extraordinary number of 114 individuals. She combined such excessive cunning and daring that although hunted by ma; .y experienced sportsmen, no one had th . e, sajsfaction or credit of destroying her. At a ll events, iitz body was never found, but she wa s lost sight of, and never seen or heard of mor e. Major Shakespear gives a very reasonable ex planation for tigers becoming " man-eaters," whic h like most of his arguments, is founded o n natur causes 1 • THE MA.N-EATEIL. The natives, who are very superstitious, consider that the man .eating tiger that has taken up his abode near the of o s s f l t yh tigerseti o r Deity, village, is an evil spirit sent to destroy them ; and they gips l : oi h eo e vk t n i ni s ng e t l t v oh e a s t ht u ei p t ri m esa o tl s h t eea la wu e si l le p is le therefore quite impotent to destroy the animal ; but let tie this ebite s ,o c am o n u i dnr becoming that a fi t rm theyl y b aree - there and we shall not wonder that they are here aod on ;; , to be found, but that they are not much more :Mine' I mug. There is a class of Hindoos throughout all the ' villages it/ the Deccan, Nagpore and other parts of India, whose duty: it is, in a country where roads are scarcely marked, and inan_eaters, paths during the monotaat or rainy season are obliterated , to show the traveller from village to village on the journel he is going. The 3 also carry baggage, &c., for whic h they' receive some trifling remuneration. he other duties PO' formed by this class are that of village watchmen, sweepers', and clearers away of all animals that may die within the village and its boundaries. Their caste is of course a veil low one, and in most villages and towns where there t ar e e , class, which is called the Dare c lass, is not p ermitted to re-' any number of respectable Hindoos, or Mahomedans, side attiong the other inhabitants, but ground is sllotted to them outside the village; and this locality obtains them e of the Darewarra. Now, in recompense fdr their services as watchmen, uides, and porters, as well as scavengers , they are allowed certain grounds rent-free from Government; and this iv regulated by their number and the extent of the groundsf population, and wealth of the village. They have the ex clusive right over all animals that die within the limits of their village, from whatever cause; these are their perqui-• sites • and they eat indiscriminately ad animals, whether they 'die from disease, old age, accident, or from the stroke of the wild animal of the jungle. The village cattle,_ whe d ther buffalo, bullocks, cows , sheep , or goats, are taken out to graze upon lands cc mmon to the village, under one or owi e t e o (h. the erd n s u m ra a n il number regulatedtwo a nirnal s ,herdsmen andv:i lae village ceohrp price s iwc h en e p et. orhreplraodyossk, to according looking g the af thy are all brought back to the vil te l g a r monly this grazing-ground is in a dense g tigers, and, as a matter of course, cattle village. . r i jseaacnvnogniolmwse constantly tr a : t n kcsj i .ol g ; e A : by them.
