Mr. COBDEN'S speech last night was much more discursive than the one at Manchester. It was addressed to a more miscellaneous audience, and had a good deal of the political cast about it. The state of things in the cotton trade around him naturally claimed first attention ; and with 3,000 bearers of all classes, masters, and operatives, he seems to have had a good word for all. Lord PAL MERSTON was the only man severely handled, but even in his case it was the policy, not the man, which the tribune of the people dealt with. His lordship, personally, was excused on account of education in an antiquated school, and of his being not hypocritical but deluded. Mr. COBDEN maintained, in the presence of this large assembly, that the whole country was justly responsible for their present sufferings. They were precisely in the same position as they would be if England were engaged in a foreign war, and this cowry's ports blockaded. In that case the whole mi nt/5' would meet the expense of raising the blockade. But as the blockade of the Southern ports p rod uces precisely the same effects, and that blockade is e • ut 'elY due to the English Govern ment supporting thesystem of commercial blockades, the claim of the Imuce.allire sufferers is really an Imperial claim. The suffering s are caused by a purely Imperial poli cy, While therefore, Mr. C O BDEN gratefully acknowledges the good so widely shown by voluntary subscriptions, he does not be necessary shrink from giving his opinion that o th er aid may. A point of much interest with Mr. r .OB D to clear the charact er of the millowner from unjust wealth v ta aspersions. While there may be a few whose has been realised through the cotton manufacture, yet, as he remarked, the greater part of the man ,. facturers must be almost paralyzed by the failure of their supplies. The manufacturer whose mill i s idle has generally his property invested in his plant, and if ho has borrowed money on it he is even harder pressed. The average interest of money on his mill will amount to £2,000 a year. Then the cottages which he has built, frequently, for his hands, will yield him no rent; meanwhile his lia bility t9r . fiVeor six hundred a year for poor rates still remains. Thus the millowner, who is rich only in bricks and mortar and machinery while he can be supplied with cotton, when that supply is stopped, is at once saddled with annual losses and charges to which the most munificent contribution of a rich nobleman are but a trifle. His illustration,—for us southern folk—of all the cornmillers at once losing their supply of wheat, of having nevertheless their their poor-rates to pay, and losing the rents of the cottages in which their workmen lived, while others called on them to maintain their workmen thrown out of employ —was a happy ene. It is a fair parallel with the case of the suffering millowners. After all the charity shown by persons at a distance, the millowners' contributions are immensely the larger. But the operatives are proportionably larger con tributors still. Rochdale furnishes a painf u l, though not more than an average illustration. Out of 14,071 persons employed in the cotton trade, 10,793 are out of work, and the remainder earn log only two days' wages in the week. The weekly loss in wages is £6,500, while from the Board of Guardians and charity com bined they receive only about £1,500 a week. They are thus receiving but about one fourth of what they had been accustomed to earn by honest industry. On this point Mr. COBDEN observed that he only half liked the praise bestowed on the people for their quiet behaviour under their trials—since it almost seemed to imply that it was supposed they were little :better than a set of savages. Mr. COBDEN need not, however, be jea lous for his Lancashire operatives. In the agricul tural districts similar distress, could it well occur, would hardly have been borne with the same intelli gence and patience. Hungry men, there, seek relief by burning food. The remembrance of "Swing" prompts the general commendations of Manchester and, not its "pauper, but blockaded poor." On the American war Mr. COBDEN could, of course, but have his opinion. It is, however, a very modest one. He can foretell and predict nothing. He can sympathise with the North, but pronounce no judgment. His theory would be that small nations develope the higher powers of humanity much more than larger ones; but he ob serves that the tendency of the countries is now not to dividion but to agglomeration; and, imper fect as are the securities of smaller states at present against the aggressions and plots of larger states, he cannot censure that tendency. It has been exemplified in Italy and Hungary in the old world; and the Americans also seem to think that if they were disunited, the foreigner might set his intrusive foot amongst them, or " play off one State against the other to the degradation and pos. sible subjection of the whole." Mr. COBDEN is, of course, entirely in favour of perfect neutrality on our part. He even complains of her MAJESTY'S Ministers, that they should not "enforce upon their own tongues a little of that non-intervention, which they profess to apply to their diplomacy" —a remark meant, we presume, not only for Lord RUSSELL, but for his friend of the French Treaty, Mr. GLAD STONE. Recognition, he objects to, because the real meaning of it is such steps accompanying it as should bring us cotton—but he maintains that it would be cheaper for England to maintain all the cotton operatives, " and to keep them on turtle, champagne, and venison, than to send to America to obtain that cotton by force of arms. It would involve us in a war, and six months of war would cost us more than maintaining the population comfortably for ten years. Mr. COBDEN lays great stress on the opinion and resolution of the great North-western States those in the great region of the Mississippi val ley,—Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, lowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota. These are the great corn-growing States. We have to go up the Missi sippi a thousand miles to reach them. There are then 27,000 miles of navigable rivers flowing through them into the Mississippi—their population now amounts to eight or ten millions—and hitherto their determination has been not to allow the Mis sissippi to flow through a foreign power. Should they remain firm by this determination the Eastern States, who are but their brokers, must follow, and the war may therefore last for years. Europe could not impose its will on the present population of America. Our intervention would at once unite the whole people as one man. Instead of the parties, whose opposition and dissensions may now bring about peace, we should have the whole of America cor• dially combining to resist dictation. These are, indeed, familiar views, but they are worth not. ing, as those of an avowed friend of the Free States, and of one who well understands them. His ♦iews on home matters deserve separate con. sideration. Flying rumours about Greece come dropping in thick and fast. War vessels, almost as rapidly and as numerously, begin to congregate at the Piraeus. England sends her squadron. France, with an affectation of doing nothing, prepares to despatch thither her naval division. Austria is on the alert —the Kaiser giving orders for a frigate, a corvette, and two gunboats to hasten, as quickly as steam can carry them; to the same destination. Prussia would, of course, do very much the same had she but the wherewithal. Hankering after a navy she must needs yet bide her time, as patiently as may be, before she can hope to possess it. She lacks even a Kiel to begin with —the tau n t i s i rres i s tibl e , and therefore must be pardoned. What though the noble Earl, now at the head of the Foreign Depart ment—bitten again, it would seem, by that insidious German Tarantula that has already led him, before now, such a wild fantastic dance —what though Earl RUSSELL, once more cajoled by the specious diplomacy of the Teutonic race, has actually blun dered into an advocacy of the shameful and shadowy claims advanced by Prussia in the name of that German Empire, to which it is h er here ditary policy to aspire, has actually blunder e d into an advocacy of the claims put for ward :by Prussia to wrest the twin Duchies of Schleswig-Holstein from the possession of the King of DENMARK as their hitherto recognised Suzeraine !—Prussia has yet but the faintest conceivable prospect of obtaining a sea port, of building a fleet, of securing a place among the great maritime powers of Christendom ! Where for Prussia is constrained to remain neuter while the naval Powers are being promptly represented at the Piraeus by the divisions despatched thither by Austria, by France, by England! while Russia looks askance at the moment—glaring upon one object of attention just now looked to by all, namely, the actual state of things at the Pirus, glaring upon it, one might Bay, with a decidedly s i n i s t er squ i nt , f rom two wholly Opposite quarters, from the two great land locked seas where her maritime power holds supre macy,whil e f v ro e fro m thatthe 6 E B e zi d n . e r a a tnedlfirnogmd kingdom e (of yesterday), Baltic! e now givin g fair promi s e the councils of Europe among the dominanrtts Italy is also despatch' sterd N a a y y ), the Sixth Great Power ace s of Christendom, while in g 1 , Piraeus two of her powerful fri gates—the Emmanuel from Naples, the T ancrete 6 ina! An intimation, that of securing her place in her turn also to the ' Victor from Ales- that, only to be read with chagrin and discomfort, we take it, by the Prime Minister BISMARK, or by his royal master KING WILLIAM. Such as the fact is, however— there it is in the same compromising telegram, however unpalateable to Prussian Monarch or to Prnsssian Minister. Italy assumes her place as a considerable power no less distinctly at the Piraeus than she did a few years back (when her power was more in anticipation than in realisation) on the shores of the Crimea. Italy is represented there by her war vessels in the waters of the Piraeus, cheek-by-jowel with the naval divisions sent, or about to be sent, to the same tem porary rendezvous by Austria, France, and England. Prussia longing, but helplessly, so far as maritime influence is concerned, to have a finger in the pie —that pie which is just now about to be set like " a dainty dish"—before what King ? Prince ALFRED of England, it is said. But then he is a Protestant ! Yet hardly can that surely be ad vanced by the Greek religionists of that Kingdom whose Crown is now going a •begging—hardly can that be adduced as a sufficient and valid reason ! When Catholic Belgium, for example, possesses at this moment, as she has possessed for so many years past in the same happy and prosperous, en lightened an d beneficent reign, a Protestant sove reign, in the person of her constitutional monarch, the beloved and popular King LEOPOLD ! Catholic France but a few years back was ruled, in the person of M. GUIZOT by a Protestant Prime Minister Catholic Belgium has beau ruled, as we have said, in the person of LEOPOLD, and ruled, too, during many long and memorable years by a Protestant Sovereign ! Greece, with her Greek religionists, can hardly in the presence of facts like those, object to receive a new Monarch, coming to her under happier auspices than she has ever had occasion to welcome any Royal Chieftain—she can not object now to entertain the idea of receiving this Royal Chieftain simply because he is not a Greek in faith, but a Protestant ! Catholic France, we repeat, showed in a remarkable manner her en lightenment and her liberality, by placing at the head of all her administrators the Protestant Pre mier, M. GUIZOT. Catholic Belgium has shown yet more signally her wisdom, as well as her liberality and enlightenment, by exulting in the rule of a Protestant KING, who has now during an entire generation presented to view upon the Con - tinent of Europe the almost exceptional spectacle of a truly constitutional Sovereign. Shall Greece now disdain to evidence a like wisdom, libe rality, and enlightenment ? Rejecting Prince ALFRED of England because, in faith, he is a Pro testant ? Objections quite as strong may be raised, however, to each of the other candidates for the crown of Greece whose names have already been syllabled. True that the Duo of LEUCHTENBURG is a Greek religionist like the majority of the Greek multitude whom he aspires to rule as his subjects— but then he is a Russian ! A potent cause for jea lousy, and reasonably so, among all the other (prin cipally among all the Western) Powers of Christen dom. Again, there is that native claimant of the sceptre, whose name has already been bruited about in some quarters pretty confidently, the young Prince YPSILANTE. He, too, like the Due de LEUCHTENBEBG, is a Greek by religion —besides being, unlike the Duc de LEUCHTENBERG, a Greek also by blood, by birth as well as by parentage. But upon what foundation would such a dynasty be based ? Upon a foundation as vari able and as shifty as a quicksand—instead of being built up on the solid rock, and giving promise from the outset of putting at defiance the force and fury of the storms of any after outburst of a revolu tionary character. Among the Greeks themselves the conviction appears to be already wide spread that no heaven-born dynasty could survive a period of more than a few months' duration, altogether. Is there a talk on the other hand of any imperial aspirant like the Prince NAPOLEON —hitherto baulked of a Throne carved out of the Italian dominions at the expense of his Royal father-in-law ? The Greek religionists might as suredly object to him because of his being a Catho lic, as there is now this idle babble about their objecting to H.R.H. Prince ALFRED on the score of his being a Protestant ! If but the latter project could be carried out—what a simplification to the difficulties surrounding our rule over the lonian Islands! A simplification accomplished, of course, in that contingency by the absorption of those islands within the new boundary lines of the expanded and recognized kingdom of Greece. Another and a grander advantage yet would obviously accrue from any such a successful negotiation as would place the second son of Queen VICTORIA upon the throne of Greece—that settlement of the difficulty which has now sprung forth in regard to Greece from the recent revolution, insuring to Western Europe an effectual and in very deed (to adopt the late CZAR'S phrase) a material guarantee—but a guarantee for what ? That then where it is most to be dreaded, and most to be regarded with jea lousy, a check should be put to Russian ambition in the East ! A spoke being thereby put in the Wheel of Fortune, contrived by the wily and audacious genius of PETER THE GREAT-a wheel that if al. allowed to roll on, by reason of either the complicity or of the indolence of the rest of Europe, might even yet realise the darker half of NAPOLEON'S prophetic alternative, that before another half hundred years from the date of Waterloo—Europe, if not Republi- can, would be Cossack ! A hint might surely be taken by Sir RICHARD MAY NE as well as by the Birkenhead Magistrates from a curious little announcement coming to England just now very opportunely in our French correspondence. The announcement conveying, as we cannot ;but think, this singularly well-timed hint to those functionaries:falls under our observation in the manner following :—" The Firemen of St. Armand, near Amiens," saith the correspondent, " have established an exercise which they call the tir hl draulic, in which the tube of a fire-engine replaces the rifle, An iron target is erected, in which a hole is pierced. The target is raised 15 feet from the ground by means of a pole. The water, driven by a fire-enginelplaced at a distance of 25 feet from the target, is received into the cen tral opening, and falls by means of a funnel into a cask capable of holding 25 gallons. The prize is adjudged to the fireman who shall fill the vessel in the shortest time. This period varied on the first trial from 1 min. 43 sec. to 3 min. 30 sec. The firemen are delighted with this new practice, and they have returned thanks to their captain, who origi nated the idea." Now, Why, we ask—if not (in one sense of the term) seriously, at any rate very earnestly—Why shoals not this really excellent contrivance be adopted in this country, not merely among our Firemen, but among our Policemen ? The mere practice would be as surely exhilarating to them as it is now proving upon exercise-days to the firemen of St. Armand. And then —and then —is not the deduction manifest ? So soon as our conservators of the peace have fairly got their hands "in" at the hydraulic tir any attempt at a riot on the part of any section of the great unwashed such as the roughs of Hyde-park and Birkenhead, might be put down, if not in a twinkling, at any rate, with a pretty tolerable sprinkling ! Captain HANs BUSK'S suggestion might then be carried out in the completest and most effectual manner imagnable. Strange to say, there is much dry humotr in that same soaking suggestion. The mere notion of a swarm of bludgeoneering roughs bei)g washed into unwonted cleanliness, for once, by t well-directed discharge from the hose of these lydraulic tirailleurs has about it something positively refreshing. ANO7HER PHASE OF ",ESSAYS AND LEV:ETVS." With a view, apparently, to a prosecution of the Rev. Mr. Jowett, the water of the article " On the Interpretation of the Scriptures'' in "Essays and Reviews," the opinion o' Sir Robert Phillimore has been taken in a case whith has been laid before him. The following is the "Opinion :"—My duty is con fined to stating whether, in my opinion, certain passages in the Commettaries by Professor Jowett on St. Paul's Epistles, aid certain passages in an essay by the same autlnr in Essays and Reviews,' entitled, ' On the Interpretation of Scripture, are or are not so contradictory of, and at variance with, certain of the 3$ articles and other formu laries of the Church of Eng:and, as to render the writer of them )unishable by ecclesiastical law if he were in a position which subjected him to the law. First with respect:to the doctrines of the Atonement, Satisfaction for Sin, Vicarious suffering of our Saviour, I am of opinion that vari ous passages in the commentary entitled On Atone ment and Satisfaction,' arc plainly at variance with, and contradictory of, the 2d, 15th, 28th, and 31st of the 39 articles, and also with various portions of the liturgy upon these subjects. (The learned civilian quotes at some length the passages commencing— " The doctrine of the atonement has often been ex plained in a way at which our moral feelings revolt," &c.) I find that the writer in these and in other passages, and as it seems to me, by the whole tenor of his argumen t does contradict the doctrine contained in the 39 articles and the liturgy, and sets up an other and a different doctrine in the place of it. Se condly, as to the inspiration of Holy Scripture. In the essay on the Inspiration of Scripture, the pas sages contained in pages 342, 343, 345, with re spect to this subject are certainly at variance with and contradictory of the doctrine of the Church of England as contained in her formularies, according to the recent jud;rnent of the Dean of Arches in the case of the Bishop of Sarum v. Williams,' and ' Ten dell v. Wilson.' Thirdly, as to the creeds; the Bth of the 39 articles says that these creeds ought thoroughly to be received and believed, for they may be proved by the most certain warrants of Holy Scripture.' It appears to me that the lan guage of Professor Jowett in pages 353, 345, in Essay on the Interpretation of Scripture, plainly contradicts this article. Fourthly, as to the Divinity of our blessed Lord ; and fifthly, as to the personality of God the Holy Ghost. I doubt whether the doctrines of the church upon these subjects are so distinctly contradicted in the passages referred to as to found a charge in criminal articles against the writer. Sixthly, as to the doctrine of Original Sin. Though it seems to me clear that the writer does not agree with the doctrine contained in the 9th of the 39 Articles, yet I doubt whether there be passages contained in the Commentary or the Essay, which a court ad ministering criminal justice would hold to be cer tainly and unquestionably contradictory of the articles and formularies. Seventhly, as to the:har mony of the Old and New Testaments. I have con sidered the passages in pages 553-554 of the Com mentary. I incline to the opinion that a lenient court might hold that these passages admitted of an interpretation which would not necessarily place them in opposition to the 9th of the 39 Articles." The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland have arrived at Stafford House, St. James's. The Duchess Dowager of Sutherland arrived at Stafford House on Tuesday, from Cliefden, near Maiden head. The Marquis and Marchioness of Clanricarde have returned to their reeklence in Stratton-JA1...4,, from Ireland. The Earl of Eglinton attains his majority on the 3d of December, when there will be great festivities on the earl's estates in Scotland, more particularly on his lordship's large estates in Ayrshire.

Mr. Newman and the Misses Newman have left Farrance's Hotel for Torquay, Devon, The marriage of Mr. George Russell, son of Mr. Russell, auditor-general of the Court of Chancery, and private secretary of Earl Russell, to Lady Charlotte Innes Ker, younger daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Rox burghe, took place in the Episcopal Chapel, at Kelso, Roxburghshire, N. 8., on Tuesday last. The Earl and Countess Russell and Lady Victoria Russell return to Chesham-place the week after next, from Woburn Abbey, Beds, in order to be present at the wedding of the Hon. Elizabeth Theresa Lister, youngest and posthumous daughter of the late Lord Ribblesdale, with Mr. Melville, son of the late Sir Henry Melville. The earl and countess give the wedding break fast, the fair fiancee being step-daughter to the noble earl. A marriage is arranged to take place between the Marquis of Tullibardine, son of the Duke and Duchess of Atholl, and Miss Moncrieffe, eldest daughter of Sir Thomas and Lady Louisa Moncrieffe. M. Thouvenel has been appointed chairman of the French Eastern Railway,vice Drouyn de Lhuys. This is a curious change. La Patrie announces the arrival of King Otho at Venice, where he will be joined by the Grand Duke of Oldenburg, brother if the Queen, and by Louis, the ex- Bing of Bavaria, hie father. SINGULAR DEATH OF A SCOTTISH MISER.—Last week there died in the Fever Hospital, Dunfermline, a man fifty-five years of age, named Andrew Hutton, better known in the western district of Fife as the "African Chief." For a number of years he has lived in the most miserly manner, hardly allowing himself enough of food to sustain life, and the little he did take was of the coarsest description. Many amusing stories are told of his parsimonious hshits. The immediate cause of death was eating the leave of ash trees. He had been walking along the edge of a field bordered by these trees, on the fallen leaves of which the cows were feeding greedily. He thought the animal 3 seemed fat, and that if the leaves were good for thent they could not be bad for him. He accordingly gatherel a quantity and took them home, and, after boiling them, led on them fur several days. The con sequence was that bs was taken ill and removed to the hos pital, where he diedafter some days of great suffering. On searching his house after death the relatives came upon an ol d t e a o - n k e w t thl i e c , h in h w ad bi b e e h en was ac f c o u u m n u d l a ati e n h g eq f u or e I fo 7 r y f a O rs , , the in terestbook showing a Wince of £6l at his credit in the Naatillodnaal Security Saving s lank. Several £1 notes and a great quantity of loose money in half-crowns, shillings, and smaller coins were also found in the most out-of-the-way places. Hutton NvEs also possessed of considerable property in Dunfermline. fe was a great reader, and well versed in several languages...-Edinburgh Courant.

PLYMOUTH, OCT. 29. The Royal Mail steamship Norman arrived here this afternoon with the above mail and 35 passen gers. She left the Cape on the 22d ult., St. Helena on the Ist, and Ascension on the sth inst. She was detained one day in Table Bay by a heavy gale, during which the American barque Lucy Johnson and the Eug lith schooner Susan were wrecked. After landing her mails the Norman proceeded to Southampton. At the Cape the cold wet weather had been suc ceeded by warm sunshine and genial showers. The harvest prospects were good, and business had slightly rallied. It was hoped that this improve ment might be progressive and permanent. The communication was again open to all parts of the country, and large quantities of articles of daily consumption were being forwarded to many districts where supplies had run short. Trade in manufactures had also revived. The import market had suffered no material change. Money was easy. The revenue returns for the quarter ending June 30 showed a net de crease of £38,495. The new regulations for the continuance of immigration from England had been published. Free passages were to be granted on 'y to agricultural labourers, artisans, and domestic servants, who were to be brought out at £6 each. The Governor had refused to adopt the resolutions passed by the House of Assembly for introducing negroes captured by British cruisers. His Excel lency also objected to introducing Caffres from beyond the border. Her Majesty's ship Ariel had returned from her cruise on the Slave Coast, dm ing which she had captured 26 slave dhows, and liberated a great number of captives. She also captured the Persian Gulf, a pirate vessel, which fired upon her boats in Mombas harbour, wounding Lieut. Fellowes and two men. Information had been received from the Zambezi of the retreat of the Oxford and Cambridge mission party, through fear of being attacked 133 the natives, whom they did not wish again to fight. There was a dispute between the Rev. Mr. Rowley and Dr. Livingstone respecting who is to blame for this fighting baying arisen. Mr. Robert Moffatt died near Kuruman on the Bth of August. The tribal titles dispute between the Lieutenant- Governor of Natal and the Legislative Council had been compromised. Extensive fires had occurred at Port Natal, caus ing much loss of property. The following vessels had arrived out :—The mail steamer Athens, on the 10th of September ; the Roderick Dhu, the Northern Light, the Lord Coiling. wood, the Gloucester, the John Mayall, the Express, the Amphitrite, the Marengo, the Joanna, and the Odin during the month. 711 E PACIFIC. By the arrival at Southampton of the West India mail steamer La Plata, we have files of the Panama Star and Herald to the 9th inst. The steamer Valparaiso, from the South Pacific ports, had arrived. The people of Chili seemed wholly engrossed with the preparations going on for the celebration of the anniversary of the inde pendence of their republic. DOA Manuel A. Tocornal, Secretary of State, had given a splendid fancy ball at Santiago. A very successful ladies' fair was held at Valpa raiso on the 4th, sth, and 6th of September, for the benefit of the Benevolent Society of that place. The Valparaiso and Santiago Railroad was fast progressing, and would, it was expected, be opened throughout for traffic before another year. The railroad from Santiago to San Fernando, it was expected, would be opened at the same time. Since last advices the following British vessels had arrived at Valparaiso: —The Glenthuniy and Phaeton, on the 7th of September ; the Dayspring, Bth ; the Mandeline, 11th ; the Dundonald and the John, on the 13th. Transactions in charters. have been very numerous since the departure of the last steamer, although in some instances at a slight de cline in previous rates. The Georgiana would pro bably be taken up for ores at 13 when the next mail leaves. _Exchange a t V a lp ara i s o ... On London, 90 to 60, 43d., 451 d., to 451 d. ; Paris, 4f. 65c. to 4f. 70c.; Hamburg, 40 to 40i. From Peru there is no particular news. £700,000 of the English loan had reached Peru, but remained deposited in the hands of the consignees, Govern ment, or rather Congree9, still declining to accept the loan. A national bank of di6count and deposit, with power to issue notes far 10 dollars anal upwards, was likely to be established. The Government had brought a bill for the purpose before Congress. A bill has also been laid before Congress by the Government for regulating weights and measures by the decimal metre, and being sanctioned by the Senate would likely soon become law. The patent for importing coal oil, so hastily granted, had been annulled by Congress, so that there is now free trade in that kind of light. The following British vessels since last advices had arrived at Callao---viz., Sea Nymph, Sept. 24 ; Monteagle, 26th; and also her Majesty's ship Tri bune, 27th, from Valparaiso. Her Majesty's ship Topaz was to leave Callao for Panama on Sept. 30. A revolution had again broken out in Bolivia. General Perez was in pursuit of General Acha. This latter was trying to collect forces in Corocoro, but as the whole army and all the other towns were for Perez, General Acha would, in all probability, make his appearance in Tacna as a refugee. A vessel arrived at Caldera on the 20th of Sep tember, from Europe, reported the total loss of the American ship Reporter, bound to San Francisco, off Cape Horn ; only four of the crew were saved. The British ship Blue Rock, 700 tons, 11I'Dowell master, laden with guano and bound to Hamburg, sprung a leak off Chiloe. The captain endeavoured to put into Valparaiso, but was prevented by con trary winds, and the ship finally sunk in lat. 22 40, long. 72 30, about 200 miles south-west of Iquique; all hands were saved. LI7ERA7 ÜBE. The Ganges and the eeine. By Sidney Laman Blanchard. 2 vols. Chapman and Hall. Under this title Mr. Blanchard gives ns a series of essays and tales illustrative of various phases of Indian and Parisian life, the former of which are now published for the first time, whilst most of the latter have appeared in the pages of Household Words and All the Year Round. A few miscel laneous papers are also added ; the whole forming a work which, for the lovers of light reading, will possess considerable attraction. Some of the papers, moreover, touch on topics of no small importance, such for instance as that styled " India and Cotton." " Nature," says the writer, " has given us every advantage in India that soil and climate can fur nish ; but although she has done so much for us, we have done so little for ourselves that the work may be considered barely commences. There are immense cotton fields, it is true ; but neither capital, skill, en terprise, nor even honesty, are employee; in raising the plant; which is, therefore, an inferior article, fetching an inferior price. The natives, to whom the cultivation is almost entirely confined, have very little power to improve the state of things, and what power they have they do not care to employ. Each man has a little patch of ground which he cultivates for himself. He is responsible to no other person for looking after his own interests, except, indeed, to the native usurer, from whom he has received advances for the purchase of the seed, and who faithfully sells him up if he neglects to pay them back. The first mistake which he makes is in the matter of this same seed. The seed produced from his own district is sown over and over again, year after year, and has been allowed to reproduce itself in this manner for centuries past. The usual fate of a very old family which has been too ex clusive in its alliances, of course attends it. The plan becomek weak and imbecile, and, coming from an exhausted stock, suffers the additional dis advantage of having its education entirely neglected. It never could be an aristocrat, and the ryot (or cultivator) effectually prevents it from taking even a respectable middle-class rank. The seed having been sown, the ryot is happy for a time in throw ing the responsibility upon nature, under whose auspices it usually grows up in due time. The period for gathering depends less upon the ripeness of the cotton than the private conveni ence of the ryot—a marriage or death in his family, or the occurrence of some native festival—so that the process is either performed too soon or too late. The other preparations whien it has to undergo are made upon the same lax principle ; and the delay of transport being added to the other delays, the cotton most likely catches the rainy season on its way to the coast, where it arrives damaged, if not utterly spoiled. The purchaser, indeed, may con sider himself fortunate if he receives the article only dirty and ill-prepared; for I have heard of such things as straw being packed by mistake in the bales, not to mention the carcases of animals and other little matters of the kind." Any quantity of cotton, the writer says, may be produced in India if the Lancashire millocvners will only bestir them selves. This, at present, they seem little inclined to do, for reasons which Mr. Blanchard takes some trouble to explain. His analysis of the notorious " Nil Darpan " gives an amusing idea of the constituents of a Hindoo' drama. In "The City of Akhbar Kahn " we have an excellent description of that wondrous specimen of Hindoo or Saracenic a rc hitecture, the Taj Mahal ; but the part of the work which we think least happy is that termed " The Simpkins in India." A Sailor Boy's Logbook, from Portsmouth to the Peiho. Edited by Walter White, 1 vol. Chap man and Hall. This is an unpretending little volume, written evidently with perfect good faith, and giving "a plain unvarnished tale" of the experiences of a youth who, smitten with a love of the sea, entered the naval service for the term of ten years, but left it with dislike at the end of five ; having, during that period, visited China and Japan, and assisted at the disastrous attack on the Taku Forts. As a picture of ordinary seafaring life, drawn by a youth of more than ordinary education and intelligence for that station, the work possesses peculiar value, and we strongly recommend its perusal to lads who may wish to follow in his footsteps. As a specimen of the style, we give an account of the attack on the forts :- 4, No sooner did the Chinese see our boats approaching than they opened a tremendous fire from every available position, tearing up the boats and killing many a brave fellow before we could land. Thus was our hilarity turned into rage, pain, and disappointment, by the want of good judgment, as we thought, somewhere. The nearer we came to the landing place the nastier it looked. However, as soon as our boat touched the ground, .we jumped out and found ourselves up to the waist in water and slime ; and, what was worse, our am munition was rendered useless by the soaking it got. Some poor fellows lost their footing, and went down so deep into the mud that they were drowned by the jump from the boat. Others seemed petrified, and crouched into the very bottom of the boats, so terrible appeared the iron storm that we had to face. " We were under the charge of an old petty-officer. He was addressing an order to one of our party, when a shot struck him and he fell dead. We moved on : might as well advance as to stand there to be killed, especially as the forts were pouring on us a murderous fire of grape-shot and all other conceivable missiles. The sight was sickening to see so many falling around, and yet no one able to stretch out a helping hand to save. All at once I felt a sudden numbness in my head, and my cap was knocked off. I instinctively put up my hand, but felt no blood, and fortunately kept my footing. My impression was that I had been acci dentally hit by a Frenchman behind me who was firing at the forts. Dreadful was our struggle through that greasy mud. At length we reached the outermost trench, where one-half of our number, having spoiled their ammunition, could not molest the enemy; so we halted under cover, looking on, and wishing the Chinese, the forts, and the officer who selected the landing place, at the devil; any where but in the place they happened to he." Me Birds of Song. By H. G. Adams. Hogg an Sons. We have hero the first of three volumes in which it is purposed to give " a complete account of the feathered families of Britain," the birds of song appropriately taking the lead.

They are interesting of their kind, and will no doubt be appreciated by the admirers of this style of literature, PRINCESS S THEA 7 RE. AT.TSS AMY SEDG\VICK. The buoyant and hilarious Miss Amy Sedgwick is a material addition to the ranks of this theatre—the defect of which, as we have already remarked, lay in the direction of a heroine. She appeared on Monday in the "Hunch-back," and last even ing in the " Love Chase" —her performance in the latter play being, we think, much the truer and the more successful. Miss Sedgwick has sens'bility, but she wants passion for the poetic drama whilst in respect to the comic she has undoubted humour, which in recent years has been refined by no small amount of art. Her Constance is now at all points the very best tho stage possesses, and the nearest approach to Mrs. Nesbitt's which our generation is likely to see. In this—to all the vigor and the freshness which distinguished its first present ment, she now adds a variety and truth of pleasantry which makes it as comic as it is natural. Another feature of the performance was the Lydia of Miss Constance, Aylmer, which we are happy to refor to as a far more successful effort than her first one. In the simple and deep devotion of the maiden " love distraught," but who rests on her truth and duty as on a rock, amidst fearful surges, she displayed an earnest ness and even pathos which revealed the presence of actual power, however dependent on time and study for its adequate development. To characters of this cast she should certainly confine her pre sent efforts, and gain a foothold of her art, before she takes to a leap upwards. The rest of this charming comedy was very worthily sustained. Mr. George Vining was an excellent Wildrake, with much more balance in its changes than is usually exhibited ; Mr. Shore, an earnest Master Waller ; Mr. Fitzjames a young comedian, who has wisely taken to old men —is a very sound Sir William, in theory, if somewhat over-emphatic in practice, whilst the Widow Green of Mrs. Marston—a powerful addition to the company—presents the only approach the stage has seen to the inimitable performance of Mrs. Glover. The house was well attended. CITY OF LONDON 7HEATI2E. The great attraction of Mr. G. V. Brooke at the above establishment has compelled the lessees to open the doors a quarter of an hour before the regu lar time. There has never before been such an ova tion at the east end of London. The theatre is crowded nightly long before the rising of the cur' tain. Mr. G. V. Brooke is nightly called three toad four times by the audience, and received with cheers. Mr. G. V. Brooke appears on Saturday and Mon day in his great part of Virginius. EX-KING OTHO. The Paris correspondent of the Times writes :--- I am informed that overtures were made, though in an unofficial form, to the French Government to support King Otho on the throne of Greece. This was when the news of the disaster which has be fallen him was first known here, before his flight to Corfu, and before we learnt that the movement was so general and so decisive. It is not said what was the nature of the support asked for, whether moral or material ; but whatever it may be my in formant states that the answer given was peremp tory. Otho, even if he still held out in some corner of what was only till the other day his kingdom, had nothing to expect from Franca in the way of support or sympathy. The party who pleaded his cause was told that France had other matters of more importance than the restoration of a Sovereign driven forth by hi s people to attend to, and that the Greeks were at liberty to choose whom they thought proper. From other quarters I also hear that the French Govern ment is resolved to act with the Protecting Powers in this affair. Of the unanimous character of the movement there is no doubt. It appears that the King and Queen, hearing what had taken place in the that Western Greece, left Messe n i a on b oar d the Amalie, and touched e w o n here h 23d t net f ar from the Piraeus• they w ere visited by the Minister of W ar . P ro b a bl y ac ting on his advice, It was they proceeded to Salamis, and the same night were joined by three other vessels of war. On the following day, as is already known, they had a visit from the foreign Ministers, who were on board a French frigate, and were accompanied by an Eng lish and an Austrian ship. Meantime, information was communicated to the King that the General who had put down the insurrection of Nauplia had a corps amounting, we are told, to 2,000 men, under his er4ers, and that it was at the King's disposal. The ' 'tzal proposed taking up a position near Athe. ,insttbe insurgents, in o r d er t o i nterc ept their cow.aunications. We do not know whetber the King accepted the offer, but the next thing heard of him was that he addressed a proclamatio n to the people, reminding them of their allegianc e; w bile a counter proclamation was issued by the Pro' visional Government explaining the causes of O n insurrection, and calling upon them to support it' If at aey moment the Queen, who, as usual, tocX the chief management of affairs into her hand s ' thought that there was a chance of putting demo n the movement, she and her consort must soon bea n been undeceived, for the next news we hear of them is their arrival at Corfu on the 27th, and after a short stay their departure for Venice. The difficulty now is as to Otho's su ccessor . Various candidates are spoken of :—The Duke Leuchtenberg, Greek by religion, but Russian; nephew of Otho, but the Greeks will not hear of Bavarian—" they would," a Greek remarked to•dal in my hearing, " take the first man they m et en the Boulevards rather than again have a member of that or a n y o th er G erman f am il y; " a son I,of Victor Emmanuel, but he is a Cath o lic, and the * 60th Article of the Constitution requires t-0 successor of Otho to be of the Orthodox faith, and' moreover, Austria and Russia would object. A °43 of Queen Victoria is mentioned, but this, I suppos e : is, on political and religious grounds, completely 011 ' of the question. A native Greek, Prince Ypsila nti ' is pointed at, but he is said to have Russian te n : dencies, and some of his countrymen believe that 7 native Greek raised to the throne would be drivel' from it in four months. But whoever be the Ma n it is undeniable that the Greek people can hardly have a worse ruler than the one they have just cant out from among them.

MURDER BY A FARMER AT GOOLE.--Mr. George Smith, an extensive farmer under the Earl of Beverley, at Goole Grange, near Goole, has been committed for trial, charged with the murder of Thomas Duckles, whom 116 shot a few days ago. The prisoner, who is only 30 years of age, was the e m p loyer of the deceased, who was an o ld and respected labourer on the farm. The circumstances of t fhor e cas e are very p ainful. Mr. Smith had, it appears, been some time addicted to excessive drinking, and it was when suffering from an attack of delirium, tremens that be took the life of his servant. ad ',~
