The jo . right of this system is . rather curious. In 1653 the actors of t:f.e Hotel de Bour gogne, who had promised Tristam l'Eninite 100 crowns for a comedy called " Les Itivales," refused. •to give more than fifty when they discovered that it was' by Quinault.

"Three Weeks in New York , " b y Our S p e cial Correspondent," gives an extre mel y g ra p hic ae. count of that great commercial cit y , and conve y s a vivid idea of the it. " Anybody," says the writer, " may build his house after his own fancy, in total disregard ?t the architectural style of the houses by which it is surrounded. Anybody may stop his cart or car riage f " free and easy" state of society in riage where he likes; and so I have seen street, in its busiest hours, blocked up by a stop page, caused by some brewer's dray, which chose to stand still at the side of the narrow street. Anybody has a right to get into the cars or omni buses as long as he can squeeze his way in." The result, as far as public convenience is concerned, may be conceived. "Ravenshoe" is getting towards its close. The conflict in the Crimea is spiritedly described. Hornby is killed. Charles is wounded!; is . reported to be dead, and his foster brother Wil ham takes possession of the Ravenshoe estate. The Rev. Dr. Whewell discusses " English Hexameters" with special reference to "Mr. Dart's transiation=of the Iliad," which ho considers on the whole a good one. But with his estimate of the English Hexa meter we differ; for it is, in our opinion, the least pleasing form English poetry can assume. The paper on " Management of the Nursery," by Archi bald Maclaren, is an excellent one.

The new picture is commonly designated a fresco. It is really a water-glass painting. Between the two methods there is thi s in common that the painting is executed on a ground composed of lime and sand (techni cally intonaco); but there the resemblance ceases. In fresco the intonaco must be painted on whilst it is still moist (whence, indeed, the name fresco, ital. 6 fresh'). COttEo - only so much of the ground c an b e ep. in the morning as the artist can paint over during the ,Jay. For each day's work there must be laid down a fresh portion of intonaco. This, of course, necessitat es as m olly join lags as the work has o:cepied days; and am t h e chie f value. ~, where of fresco lies in its adap tation to mural paintin g, usually a large space has to be covered, the joini n cs will probably be very numerous. Mr. Mediae has, for exa,•nple, on a careful computation (and throwing out of the reciton ino• Sundays and holidays) been en g a g ed a year and a L\alf of' days on the actual painting of this picture, which, therefore, if a fresco, must have had a t least . sso joinings; Now all these joinings would have to be concealed. To this end the fresco painter regulates 'each day's work as far as practicable by the leading outlines of hie composition, and, if he be prudent, takes this necessity into consideration in preparing his design. But plaster shrinks and colours change in drying, and no management can obviate the ne cessity of patching over the joinings with distemper, or some other ill-matching material ; and the obviouo result is injury to the local and general effect, and danger to the permanency of the picture as a whole. In water -glass painting this difficulty is got rid of. The entire surface to be painted over is prepared before the picture is begun, and the painter goes on with his work, day after day, just as ho would if he were painting in oil on a prepared canvass, hav ing merely to moisten the surface before commencing to paint upon it. Another condition imposed by the necessity of painting in fresco upon the moist surface is, that the painter must complete his work at once. Fresco allows of no change or modification. If any error be detected, the past must be removed, a new coat of plaster be spread, and the section be repainted. Hence the necessity of a fac simile cartoon, the size of the picture being previously prepared. And just as Raffaelle's famous Cartoons were copied by the tapestry workers at Arras, might the finished cartoon for a fresco be copied on the intonaco by any one else almost as well as by the designer. In fact, this is what is commonly done in the case of the much vaunted frescoes of Germany. Cornelius or Raulbach makes the cartoon, but the actual paiMing on the wall is left to scholars or assistants. or ate= -glass h painting, on the other hand, permits the freest use 0 the artist's individuality. He may admit or reject as much or as little as he pleases of his original design ; correct whaeis erroneous; avail himself as he goes on of advice or criti - - , or what, ifrom he be a cism ; paint directly i from hie mod,folel low the pptings of really great painter, s best of all his genius as he works there with his mind full of his subject, and all his heart and energy concentrated upon it. Those who saw Mr. Maclise's cartoon, when exhibited in the Royal Gallery about two years ago, will remember what a magnificent drawing it was • and, noticing a broad general resemblance in the completed picture, will not sus pect probably that there has been any material deviation. But, in fact, Mr. Maelise has been able to make, without difficulty, alterations of every description, and thereby, from the great amount of information proffered during its progress, to increase materially its historical accuracy —a matter of primary importance in a work of this order. Among the other articles " Odd Letters to a London Editor," " Society in Celtic London," and " Opera. tic Notes and Anecdotes," will be found readable. The illustrations are numerous as ever.

Nothing deteriorates, nothing loses its purifying, rdtivi fying properties so soon as air. Not only is it liable to be rendered impure and unfit for use by its being the common recipient of the waste particles of every eurrounding object (and hence the necessity for the systematic, uniform, and frequent cleansing of the nursery), but, even when pure, tt must be kept in constant motion to continue so. Fill a room with fresh air, shut doors and windows, give it no outlet, and in half an hour it will have deteriorated, and this deterioration will be perceptible to the sense of smell, and will diminish the pleasure and comfort of respiration. Air, to be fit for human lungs, must be less or more in motion, and, to be this, it must be in communication with the great air-ocean outside of our dwellings—that bright translucent sea, at the bottom of which we all live, and move, and have our being. But this can be secured by the smallest channel, just as the waters of a lake may be kept fresh by the inlet of the smallest rivulet, with the outlet of the most diminutive sluice. An aperture of an inch wide along a single window will keep sweet and in healthful motion the air of a large room. This principle is generally understood and practically carried out in all house-ventila tion. A permanent connection with the external air is effected by the fireplace and its flue ; the air of the room, it is calculated, will rise through the flue, where the atmos pheric pressure is least, and the air outside on a level with the room will press through chink of window and door to fill its place. And, under ordinary circumstances, this cal culation is sound, and the results satisfactory; but, in rooms where fires are seldom kept, the air in the flue be comes damp and stagnant, and the communication with the external air is virtually stopped. Hence the value of fires as aids to ventilation. Not only do they change the atmos phere more rapidly while they are burning, and the same time draw all lingering damp from walls, and floor, and furniture, but they dry and keep free the permanent chan nel of ventilation. But this means will be found insufficient where the air of the room is to supply many pairs of lungs. A nearer and more direct channel becomes necessary ;_ an d there is none better than that given by lowering the win dows a little space, according to the state of the weather, at the highest point above the heads of the mates.Throu ' gh this opening the effete air will pass, a nd its place be sup plied, and motion obtained, by the admission of fresh air through other channels. But, for the nursery, even this will be found inadequate to the preservation of a pure at mosphere, and the process just recommended for the begin ning of the day should be repeated at given periods throughout its course —namely, the setting wide open of every window and door, while its inmates have been with. drawn. Pure air is as important as proper food—if pos sible, more so; for, while the natural effects of improper food may be resisted by the counter-influences of air, bath ing, clothing, and exercise, nothing can counteract the in fluence of impure air. The organs of mastication, diges tion, and assimilation will all have an influence on the con vtz,ioa of cooa r ';tuea; but air passes tuieu s h Inediate channel, r Ldergoes no intermediate operation—at once 'from lip to lung it passes, and the union for good or for evil is final. Life may be supported many days without food ; it cannot be supported many moments without air. APPEAL.

THE MAG.KZINES. folks reap that kind of mental nourishment which consists in guessing at the different steps by which the mystery is to be made clear. To many minds, a novel by Sir E. Buiwer Lytton comes like the unfolding of a new world. How many Muscular Christians have not Messrs. Hughes and Kingsley helped on their conquering way? A really great novel will move the heart as strongly, and to as noble ends, as a great picture or poem. To read one or two such with care, is in itself an education. Who has not felt his whole being raised and purified as he watched by the sick bed of poor little dying Nell, or followed the failing fortunes of brave old Colonel Newcome ? Each thrill of honest scorn for the prosperous Pecksniff and the cool, self-satis fied Barnes Newcome ; of heartfelt tenderness for quiet Tom Pinch and self-forgetful Dobbin; of fierce dislike for the scheming Mrs. Mackenzie; of reluctant awe at the cleverness of Becky Sharpe ; of joy at the downfall of Squeers and the forced departure of Sampson Brass ; of pity for Ethel's half-deserved misfortunes, and poor, peni tent Nancy's cruel end, brings us, for the moment, nearer heaven by one or the other of those two great avenues, the brain and the heart, along which our life's daily pulses keep always gliding to and fro. If the spells thus wrought are too often momentary; if the blossom but now so fair be too seldom followed by an answering measure of fruit, we are, after all, but poor, weak, wavering creatures, whose pro gress upward is marked by a close succession of falls, whose highest hopes in the future must be grounded mainly on the remembrance of a few such real, but short-lived tri umphs in the past.

And even when at last the social meal was over, when the urns were cleared away, and with a rustle and flutter the assembly composed itself to the intellectual regale about to follow, Mr. Vincent did not change his position. Mr. Raffles made quite one of his best speeches; he kept his audience in a perpetual flutter of laughter and applause; he set forth all the excellencies of the new minister with such detail and fulness as only the vainest would have swal lowed. But the pleased congregation still applauded. lie praisOLl Mr. Tufton, the venerable father of the community; hq..,WAV..e(l_l34.e.Aelniira.l4l.e, de awl* :-.41.-ia the„arT‘ce;e. maße. In short; Mr. Raffiesaspplauded everybody, and everybody applauded Mr. Raffles. After the chairman had concluded his speech, the hero of the evening gathered him • self up dreamily, and rose from Phoebe Tozer's side. He told them he had been gazing at them this hour past, study ing the scene before him; how strangely they appeared to him, standing on this little bright gaslighted perch amid the dark sea of life that surged round them ; that now he and they were face to face with each other, it was not their social pleasure he was thinldag of, but that dark unknown existence that throbbed and echoed around : he bade them remember the dark night which enclosed that town of Car lingford, without betraying the secret of its existence even to the nearest village; of those dark streets and houses which hid so many lives and hearts and tragic histories ; he enlarged upon Mrs. Hillyard's idea of the sentiment of " such a night," till timid people threw glances behind them, and some sensitive mothers paused to wonder whe ther the minister could have heard that lommy had fallen into the fire, or Mary scalded herself, and took this way to break the news. The speech was the strangest that ever was listened to at a tea party. It was the wayward capri cious pouring forth of a fanciful young mind under an un quiet influence, having no connection whatever with the " object," the place, or the listeners. The consequence was, that it was listened to with breathless interest—that the faces grew pale and the eyes bright, and shivers of re strained emotion ran through the astonished audience. Mr. Vincent perceived the effect of his eloquence, as a nursery story-teller perceives the rising sob of her little hoarers. When he saw it, he awoke, as the same nursery minstrel does sometimes, to feel how unreal was the sentiment in his own breast which had produced this genuine feeling in others, and with a sudden amusement proceeded to deepen his colours and:make bolder strokes of effect. His success wasiperfect ; before he concluded, he had in imagination dismissed the harmless Salem people out of their very in nocent recreation to the dark streets which thrilled round them—to the world of unknown life, of which each man for himself had some knowledge—to the tragedies that might be going on side by side with them, for aught they knew. His hearers drew a long breath when it was over. They were startled, frightened, enchanted. If they had been witnessing a melodrama, they scarcely could have been more excited. He had put the most dreadful sugges tions in their mind of all sorts of possible trouble ; ho sat down with the consciousness of having done his duty by Salem for this night at least.

ART AND NATURE. The principle of diversity in unity has been carried out in all portions of this building —even in the presumably temporary painting of the ironwork; in certain forms of leafage in the capitals of the shafts that constitute the arcades ; in the corbels; and, as we observe, even in the seemingly unimportant details of cabinet and carpenters' work, such as the fittings of the doors leading to the lec turers' rooms and the theatres. The carvings of no two windows are alike ; indeed, beyond the bare shell of the building, the utmost variety—soul of true Gothic as it is, for variety means freedom in art—has been sought after. It has been the object to leave to the power of each highly skilled artizan, as appears to have been the mediaeval prac tice, to whom aught of the decorative work was intrusted, an opening for his own idiosyncrasy to develop itself; so that, subordinate only to certain general rules,_ every ear o 7. ving, each point of ornament, may be called a labour th t sheer love, in which the carver's heart was allowed re joice, and the man bent himself heartily and . intelligently . to do a good thing affectionately. A very different thing this, the realer will see, from the endless pointing of me chanical acanthi or torus mouldings fitted with a template of iron, or the dreary chiselling of endless rows of the so called ram's-horns of the lonic capital I Not such are the carvings here. The artizan has sought in the lush re cesses of the neighbouring river-bank for crisp water plants, or those that love the margins and whip the stream ; in the shady woods dank ferns have been found to bo models of loveliest form ; the humblest field weed has yielded up her shy beauty, and stands immortalized here in the stone ; the lillies have an unchanging glory ; the hillside-loving pine has bent her sturdy branches and been found delight ful ; while the wide-blooming marsh-mallow that tottered before the wind is here steadfast for ever. It requires very little consideration to recognise the infinitely greater de light there must be in such a building, not only to the spectators, but the workman himself, than is like to bo found in any endless series of acanthi, ram's-horns, or the like. Can we conceive a carver coming back to l i his a t sort. wotk after completion with templates, ormnehou:l2g of to call him with any satisfaction ? There could be n ou in such tottering ch marsh .ali toil. Butmig th htn o o w t s a , 0 carver dwell arve with rcome a cunning bact of himselfktoloo satisfaction he upon the artful way in which ho dealt with that aloe which so skilfully dodges the angle in the north-a cat corner of the lower arcade ? It is true that none of this work is entirely satisfactory. Mere imitation and reproduction, however exquisite, is not the end of art— least of all, of architectonic decoration ; and we miss a little of the needful conventionalizing suitable to architec ture. But that in its best quality, must come, and, in deed, only can come, through a course of study such as that here shown to have been worthily begun. The reader will see that the word " conventionalizing" is used in a sense other than the vulgar one. ma her ;30. 2 9 ; 01% .. 1 .. 6 .. 5 .. 5 .. 6 .. 4 TEA.—STRACHAN and CO.'S Strong Rough " Domes tie " Black at 3s. id. per lb.-26, Cornhill, London, E.C.

Women living in seclusion are of course especially ob noxious to the influence of this morbid sympathy ; partly owing to the nervous irritability which is the usual effect of such a life, partly to the excessive importance acquired by the most trifling incidents in the absence of active occu pation and of external objects of interest to engage the at tention and divert the mind from unhealthy introspection. But positions less favourable to its operation are far from being wholly exempt from it. A singular story is related of an occurrence in a cotton-mill in Lancashire in 1787. A girl put a mouse into the bosom of another girl who had a great dread of mice. She was instantly thrown into vio lent convulsions, which lasted 24 hours. The next day three more girls were thrown into similar convulsions, and the day following six more. A physician was sent for, but before he arrived 23 girls had been seized in the same way, and one man, who had been employed in holding them during the fits. The work in the factory was stopped, and the idea prevailed that some disease had been introduced by a bag of cotton which had been recently opened. This conviction spread through the country, and three more fac tories, four or five miles distant, were infected, although the workers in them had never seen any of the original patients, but, like them, were impressed with the belief that the plague had been caught from the cotton. The convulsions were so violent as to require four or five per sons to prevent the sufferers from dashing their heads against the wall. The doctor bethought him of trying the effect of electric shocks, and the application was uniformly successful. As soon as a few had been relieved, and the disorder was thus shown to be a nervous affection easily cured, and not introduced by the cotton, no fresh ease oc curred. A somewhat similar circumstance occurred in 1801 in a hospital at Berlin. A young woman, who had previously been an inmate, came to visit a patient, and on entering fell down in convulsions. Six female patients were immediately seized in the same way, and shorty after eight others, including two nurses. All were ultimately cured, and the disorder spread no further, but their treat ment lasted for four months. In these cases there was no enthusiasm, nor, in the former at least, any exciting cause predisposing them to convulsions: in the latter, the pa tients had all, it appears, been suffering previously more or less from nervous complaints. For these and Total 498 other Life-bat es the has voted £1,893 as re wards to the o crews ot servicthe Lifeboats. lnstitution It has also granted rewards amounting to X. 515 los. for saving 873 s hipwrecked. persons, by shore-boats and other means, IN mak a total of 871 persons saved from a w a t er y grave d ur i ng the last two years.

STATUE TO SIR C. BARRY.—Arrangements are in progress for erecting a statue to the memory of the late Sir C. Barry in what is known as " the Witnesses' Lobby" of the new houses of Parliament. Tho statue, which is of marble, is in the hands of Mr. Foley, ILA., and will be in its place in the course of a few weeks, " Caxtoniana" this month is clever and amusing. The writer even condescends to pun. He tells us in the essay " On Shyness "—" It was shyness, and nothing else, that made the bashful conquerors in the Great Rebellion so delicately silent about them selves in the welcome they gave: to the courteous and elegant exile. In fact, they have no other ex cuse; they were shy, and they shied away their liberties.' In "The Lives of Two Ladies" we have a comparison of two last century celebrities, Mrs. Delany and Mrs. Thrale. " Political Trage dies in Japan" gives a curious account of the Go vernment of that country and of the discord engendered there by the foreign treaty. "A Box of Books" is a chatty article upon some of the litera ture of the day. It thus speaks of THE AGE OF CHIVALRY. Men beating their wives, and even women not their wives, with whom they quarrel, is a common incident in these tales and romances, The chevalier De la Tour Lan dry tells his daughters the story of a woman who was in the habit of contradicting her husband in public, and re plying to him ungraciously—a habit, it must be confessed, trying to the sweetest of marital tempers, and one not yet departed from the civilised world. What did this husband ? After expostulating with her in vain, he ono day raised his fist and knocked her down. Unhappily for the credit of chivalry, ho went oven further, for he kicked her in the face when she was down,. and broke her n ose . "And so ," adds the knight, improving the story with a moral for his daughters, " she was disfigured for life, and thus, through her ill-behaviour and bad temper, she had her nose spoiled, which was a great misfortune to her." The " Works of Charles Lever" are reviewed and praised. " The Purpose and Prospects of the Inter. national Exhibition" are discussed, and the number work on " The American en ends with Union."harevew of Spence's Dublin University Magazine, One of the most interesting articles in the present number is that on "Leinster V o lk-L ore ." N o country, perhaps, is richer in legends of saints, trolls, banshees, and other beings of the marvellous and supernatural order t han . Ireland. Though t of course, this kind of tra ditionary l ore i s gra d ua ll y dying out. The writer gives specimens of those he has met with which may, he says, " be safely ac cepted as genuine reports of the oral legends and stories in the districts lying near the White Moun tains, Blackstairs, and Mount Deinster, faithfully set down in the idiom of that part of the country." The best are too long for quotation, so we must refer the admi rer of that kind of literature to the article itself. Of a similar nature is the paper on " Romance and Superstition in Poland," whilst " Die Geistertodenglocke ; The Ghost Dead-Beli," runs in the same vein. Under the head of " A Batch of Last Year's Novels," some of the more prominent recent works of fiction come in for review. We extract from it A PLEA FOR NOVELS. If the novelist too often panders to the popular taste, he has commonly too much respect for human weakness to outrage the popular instincts in all ',road questions of moral right and wrong. Barring religious novels, which are utterly hateful, and, for the most part, stupidly misleading, there is no class of popular fiction which fails altogether to work directly or indirectly for the sour s gcod of those who find a rational enjoyment therein. Even from such mere tales of mystery as "The Woutan in White" may some United Service Magazine. A very able article on " Our New Bengal Native Army" opens this number, in which the rational mode of treating the native chiefs is pointed out, and the example of Russia in the Crimea quoted as worthy of imitation, The writer on " The Arm strong Gun" defends - that weapon against recent attacks; and in "Portsmouth in Danger we have strong arguments used for the immediate construc tion of docks sufficiently large to take such iron steamships as we are at present building ; and the superiority of the dock accommodation at Cher bourg is clearly shown. "At the present time, " says the writer, " France could refit , renew , and send to sea a second fleet of ironsides quicker than England, and until we were prepared to meet her again the English Channel, with its rich.freighted ships, would be at the mercy of our great, in fact, our only, maritime rival." The account of " Th e Medals of the British Army" is readable. "The first medal," it scowl, " was given by Charles I. in 1643, for soldiers engpged in forlorn hopes," but the Parliament was not slow to follow the example, and it employed the celebrated engraver Simon, who consulted with Cromwell as to the design. Various episodes in the Peninsular and other wars are touched on, and in the retreat of Sir John Moore occurred A SCRAMBLE. The advanced guard of the French were again repulsed two days afterwards. But they were coming on with such force that our troops could not make a moment's delay, and at this critical time the road became blocked by two wag gons containing the military treasure. It was a decided fix ; for•the teams of bullocks were exhausted, and could go no further. There was, indeed, only ono mode of extri cation, and that was, to abandon the money, which was done by rolling the casks of dollars down the mountain, and so avoiding a scramble by the soldiers, which would have endangered the whole army. Only the rear regiments of the reserve were present at the time, and Lieutenant Ben net, of the '2Bth, was directed by Sir John Moore to shoot any soldier who left the ranks; but happily, not a man stirred. The casks broke as they struck aguiust the rooks, the :ip- Kent and Co., Paternoster-row.

The opening article in the new number called " The Cost of Amusing the Public," gives a curious and interesting account of theatrical statistics. " The whole number of theatres in the United King dom is 133," and of these London contains 25, Scot land, it seems, has only 9, and Ireland but 5. The annual receipts of the London theatres are calcu lated at £350,000, whilst the amount annually spent on amusements throughout the kingdom is upwards of a million. We extract from it this account of DRAMATIC AUTDORS. There is another class of persons who derive an income from the organised business of amusing the public —we mean the dramatic authors. £his class, though VV . ': but little esteemed by managers and actors, may ue en" whole less be truly said to be the mainspring theatrical machine. What could managers Y without pieces ? And good pieces, as a rule , . occasionally come from skilled hands, Amateurs may °f andetorsonido write good novels or good verses; but an io ar e a st e udy never t ur author who had not previously made the stage hw e yet wrote a good play. There arc %allies and arti fices in stage writing which nothin almost an apprentice gteebut experience and observation can teach. It requires tri ght be said that an ship to be a good playwright.

The system of disposing of . Vw Exchange. Information rather than amusement is the aim of this new magazine, and, judging from the quality of the first number, it is likely to take a high and permanent place in public estimation. The open ing paper on "Mexico and +la IntervenCeku," endea vours to give *the reader some Woa of the inr emir - able revolutions, or insurrections, which have con vulsed that country since 1810. In " The American Conflict : the Claims of the South," the relative position of the belligerents, with especial reference to slavery, is discussed ; and under the head of "Legal Securities for English Settlers and Capital in Bengal " we have a comparison of the relative moral status of the EUROPEAN AND ASIATIC'. Since the suppression of the rebellion, and the transfer of the Government, a new theory has been adapted Iv some of our Indian rulers. Whether they found this theory on dis coveries in ethnology, or novel views on the results of reli gion and morals, or on political axioms revived from the doctrines of the latter end of the last century, their deter mination seems to be that in India the European and the Asiatic shall be treated as perfectly equal. In the conside ration due to them—in the reliance to be placed mi. thelr industry and effort—in the confidence to be reposed in their integrity—in the trust in their word—no difference is to be made between the different races. Though brought up in a Christian home, toad taught from his earliest youth tho precepts of the Christian faith —though educated in the schools and colleges of Britain, and habituated to look with detestation on a departure from truthfulness and honesty— all this discipline of mind is to be utterly ignored : and whether in a court of justice, or in his relations with the executive government, the word of a native of Bengal is to receive the same credit as that of the Englishman. The latter, when he enters a court of justice, is no longer to meet with the respect accorded to social rank, but is to be looked upon only as one of a half-naked crowd. This equality it is beyond human power to establish. In the effort to accomplish it, the European race in India may sink to the condition of the descendants of the Portugnese in Goa, or they may be practically expelled. The elevation of the native is not to be aided by such means. " A recog nition of the different institutions which are needed, accord ing to the state of culture and development, is the main point of superiority in the political theories of the present over the past ago. Whilst our educational system in In dia confers a superficial instruction of questionable value upon a few hundreds of the upper classes, it:has not perceptibl of touched the mass of the native population. The p aper Dr. Duff, the most instructive part of the report of the In digo Commission, shows the true method of elevating the native character. It exhibits the utter moral and mental degradation to which the maxims, practices, and superoti tions that form the native education must inevitably lead.. The result is what might be expected. The judges, whether British or native, must decide on probabilities, not on direct evidence. " Twenty men," said Mr. Mangles, gi will swear point blank to one side of the case upon a mere matter of fact, and twenty men will swear point blank to the other side. It is utterly hopeless that the judge should decide by the more weighing of the evidence. If men be condemned by the mere evidence of eye-witnesses, which in England is the best evidence, no man's life would be safe." It is because of this impossibility of arriving. at the truth by any of the ordinary means to which we in this country resort, that most of our disputes on Indian ques tions arise, and are protracted without end. But to a coun try where he cannot protect himself personally by his cou rage, or morally by his character, it is not desirable that an Englishman should be tempted to go. To value his word and that of the Bengalee alike, is as if we req uired a mer chant to accept at its nominal price a depreciated currency, in exchange, and as equivalent, for the gold iii which his own payments are made. Th e i m portance ci o p f e t n h d e English man in India does not, as in the colonies, personal labour, but on h is own power and influence pcl m di recting the Asiatic; and these cannot exist if the govern ment and the magistrate —those who wield the civil and the judicial power— co gnisein him no greater title to their confidence than in one of the other races by whom he is surrounded, and outnumbered a thousand to one.

We are, however, well aware that the great difficulty in, introducing them arises from the prejudice of the men them selves. We have been present at a meeting of miners working in a pit where an explosion had taken place through a candle, by which nine lives were lost; The manager proposed to provide oil and lamps, and to bear all the expenses of cleaning them and keeping them in order though the men had ben in the habit of finding theirown candles. The meeting was held on the very day of the inquest; and yet, when put to the vote, the general use of s,:fety-lamps wax only carried by the manager using his casting-vote I The great objection raised by the men to their use is the insufficient light they give, so that the same amount of work cannot be done with them as with candles. This is true as regards the Davy lamp, which is generally used in this country; but there are other lamps, which give nearly tour times as much light as the Davy, and which are intl.. nitely more safo for the men. The Stephenson and Clanny lamps are of this class; but, as made tit present, they are too expensiv e for I.7 lovernment neral use. The Muesolur lamp, adopted by t h e Belgian for all coal mines in that country, can be obtained her e a t the cog of 5s Gd each—a price at least as low as that paid ' for the common Davy. - surrounded by a glass cylin- The flame of this lamp bein t ., current of • air as would der, is hardly affected by sucha h hthe • t TOW , g7e • i blow the flame of the PavY la m p . t'' •• , t also explosiye atmosphere —so that becomes extinguished in on the safety of every person in the pit would not depend on the lamp b e i ng withdroyn. slowly and . steadily out of an a s is the case w • with the Davy explosive atmosphere,lamp.
