The flames, how "el') were extinguished before much damage was done. Woman, aged 40, the wife of a labouring man, n amed Daniel, was found murdered two days back in a field at Autran (Ille-et-Vilaine), where she resided. The fact of her apron and cap bein4 found at a little from the body, seemed to intimate that a struggle had taken place between the deceased and her murderer. A liberated convict, named 140 0, has been arrested on suspicion of having first shame fullY illused the unfortunate woman, and then murdered her.

Flower and Fruit Decoration: with some remarks on the treatment of Town Gardens, Terraces, &c„ and with many illustrations of colour and contrast applicable to both subjects. By T. C. March. Harrison. Li no respect has the progress of taste antoug us of late years been more apparent than in the atten tion now paid to flowers as means of decoration ; the recognition of the superiority of harmonic arrangement over mere rarity or costliness is daily gaining ground ; and among the most elegant of the volumes which have recently been published to en force this is the one before us, Nor is its utility inferior to its elegance. The directions given for the arrangement of fruit and flowers are clear and simple, and they are illustrated by numerous en gravings. As a material for the display of flowers the anther prefers glass. "To my mind," he says, " nothing is equal to glass for the display of flowers, fruit, and lights, and for these reasons :—lf the flowers are good, they are like diamonds, the setting is almost superfluous ; the simpler the vessel, the more beautiful they look; but a silver or plate epergne would be thrown away without carving and variety of form. Porcelain in the same way requires colour and exquisite painting, otherwise the manufacture's skill and the charm of the material are useless. Take a hand some centre-piece of silver, a group of Cupids beauti fully modelled, a stag hunt, or a halt in the desert ; these may be exquisite things in themselves, but they demand so much admiration for themselves that their modest tenants in the upper story are quite overlooked. To indulge the skill of the artist, the Cupids and scroll work occupy the whole of the ground floor and the drawing-room, while the unfortunate flowers are forced into the garrets, Where they appear to the least advantage." Nor does the author confine himself to the question of arrangement merely. He also eves instructions as to where flowers should be purchased and the prices that should be paid for them; he gives a list of flowers of each colour which are available through nut the year, and instructs Ruch of his readers as possess town gardens how to lay them out. Alto gether the work is a very complete treatise on the subject, and to such among our readers as possess decorative taste we cordially commend it. Hymns for the Church of England. Longmans. The favourable opinion we before expressed of this collection we are now happy to repeat. It has undergone careful revision, the type is excellent, and the volume is handsomely bound. Cambridge Free Thoughts and Letters on Biblio latry. Translated from the German of G. E. Lessing. By H. H. Bernard, Ph. Dr. Edited by Isaac Bernard. Trubner and Co., Paternoster row. The letters which are here translated were ad dressed by Leasing, in 1788, to the Rev. Mr. Goeze, in Hamburg, and the theological opinions they ex press are of a liberal nature, but their controversial character detracts somewhat from their present in terest. The work also contains an introductory notice respecting Bibliolatry, together with a pre face, in which is given some account of the life and theological views of Leasing. Bacon's Guide to American Politics. Sampson Low, Son, and Co., Ludgate-hill. At the present moment thib little work is of pe culiar interest. It gives in a compact form all that need be known respecting the American Con stitution, laws, and statistics. It treats of the " Separate Powers of the National and State Governments," points out the differences between Federal and Confederate Constitutions, and contains a table of the comparative resources of North and South. It gives, in fact, an excellent idea of the relative positions of the belligerents, and, as a book of reference, it will be found of great service. The following extract from the Declaration of Indepen dence of July 4, 1776, sufficiently justifies the South : RIGHT OF SECESSION. We hold these truths to be self-evident :—That all mon are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights ; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving the just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organising its powers in such form as to them shall seem moat I,kely to eff,ct their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate, that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes ; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves, by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursu ing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Vie Nest Hunters. By W. Dalton. Arthur Hal and Co. In this work, which is of the same character as others that have preceded it by the same author, the object has been to describe foreign countries, to picture the manners, customs, and superstitions of races hitherto but little known in popular works ; and thus to convey, in an easy and popular mode, information to the juvenile portion of readers. These descriptions, obtained from various valuable books of travel, are blended with fact and fiction, and made interesting, while at the same time they are most instructive. The Roundabout Papers. By W. M. Thackeray. Smith, Elder, and Co. There are few of our readers who have not been amused with the light gossiping. diffusive papers, which appeared in the tornhal Magazine, under the title of " The Roundabout Papers." They will, we feel assured, be pleased to find that they are now collected together in one lively and entertain ing volume. There are several illustrations, which will add to the attractions of the work. the Mill on the .Fless. By George Eliot. Fifth Edition. William Blackwood and Sons. The republication of the admirable tale of The Mill on the Floss in its present form, as one of the seies of the new issue of the works of the author of Adam Bede, will be heartily welcomed. Of the merits of The Mill on the Floss it is wholly un necessary to speak, and we have only to express our sincere gratification at seeing it now placed within the reach of a much larger circle of readers than that to which the work in its first form was accessible. Ronzantic Passages in English History. By May Beverley. Jas. Hogg and Sons. The younger portion of the reading public will find in this volume some pleasant and agreeable reading. Among other things they will hear how Rahere founded the hospital of St. Bartholomew ; how the battle of Evesham was fought and won ; how Queen Anne loved her people ; the ,doings at Ludlow Castle, and some account of the last of the Lord High Constables. The New Forest; its History and its Scenery. By John R. Wise. London • Smith, Elder, and Co. We have here a monogram of the New Forest which, in binding and illustration, and in beauty of paper and type, it would be difficult to surpass. Nor are the contents of the volume unworthy of their setting. The history of the Norman Conquest and of Norman rule is written in ineffaceable oh t ranters upon the New Forest. It is a standing re cord in perpetuam memoriam rei. Its glades and alleys are crowded with hiAorical associations, which can never lose their charm to the mind of an Englishman, and which appeal with irresistible force to the hereditary sympathies of our Ameri can kinsmen. Mr. Wise includes in his history the whole district lying between Southampton Water and the Avon, which in the reign of &ward I. constituted the ambit of the New Forest. This gives him an opportunity of noticing the scenery on the Hampshire coast, and of contrasting it with that of the forest. We have first a graphic de scription of the scenery of the forest, with its an cestral oaks, many in a state of decrepitude, but all displaying the most lordly proportions, The tree 6 I 1 1 20 28.2.81 100 100 100 31 tOO all 100 104 5i 100 100 100 100 100 100 (100 ' 100 2 15 ,100 000 nAI all all all all all 100 100 100 100 100 MD 16/ 24 8.17.0 2.4.9 14 10.6.7 11 3.15.9 1 28.9. f 4 2 4d brn 19 21 7 9 34 1 21 14 I'd 4r 7 8 o pr If d l 2 2/ 1 2/ 1 1 1 4 pm tP 55 0l 53 41 51 3} 3$ JOINT-STOCK BANKS.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT AND Loss OF LIFE.— HEREFORD, Friday Morning.—Yesterday morning a fear ful accident occurred on the Merthyr and Brecon Railway, by which one life was lost and several persons seriously in jured, some of whom are not expected to recover. It ap pears that some workmen hurriedly got into some empty trucks at the commencement of a steep incline without at tending to the break. The waggons started off down the incline at terrific speed—the foremost was thrown off the rails, and the other trucks coming along, a concussion en sued, and the whole were shattered to pieces, the occu pants being thrown about in all directions. One of them, named Thomas Griffiths, was killed on the spot, and nine or ten were very seriously injured. One of them has been obliged to have his leg amputated, and there are but slight hopes of his recovery. An inquest was held this morning upon the body of Griffiths, When the jury returned a verdict of occidental death. from which Walter Tyrrell's arrow glanced into the heart of the Red King has vanished, and its place is marked by a stone which suffered so much from the enthusiasm of visitors that it had to be covered with a case of iron. There are, however, without doubt, some trees still in the forest which resounded to the hunting horns of the Plantage eats. The history of the forest in general follows, and this is succeeded by special notices of the most interesting spots ; we have then some very curious remarks upon the human frequenters of the forest, their folk lore, and dialects. The Roman antiqui ties, the geology, botany, and ornithology, are finally exhausted, and the volume is completed with appendices and a very full index. The in terest which such matter is sure to awaken will be enhanced by the engravings with which it is pro fusely illustrated. They have been all drawn on the spot by Walter ertme, and engraved by W. J. Linton, a sufficient guarantee of style and execu tion. We have received a copy of a pocket " French and English Dictionary," by Leon Conte useu (Long man and Co.), which we can commend to favourable notice on account of its completeness and accuracy, and of its consequent usefulness to the student 01 French, and to all who may have occasion for the use of a work of this description. THE SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY. (From the times' Special Correspondent.) CULPEPPER COURT-ROUSE, VIRGINIA, Nov. 14. This little village is at this moment the centre of attraction for all to whom the Confederacy is dear, for in its immediate neighbourhood are situated the head• quarters of General Lee, General Longstreet, and General J. E. B. Stuart. It is the nearest point to Washington reached by the trains running from the South along the Orange and Alexandria Railroad ; and the transportation which was for months laboriously sustained over 90 miles of road to supply General Lee's army when it was stationed beyond Winchester is now effected entirely by the railroad, upon which he has since fallen back. Culpepper Court-house—that is, the Court-house and country seat of the county of Culpepper—ought, strictly speaking, to be called Fairfax, but, in the common parlance of the country side, the name of Fairfax has dropped entirely out of use. The Court-house and the gaol, plentifully filled in general with escaped negroes, telt their own tale. Here, as in so many other places, the old con nexion between Virginia and England is again ap parent. A grant in Virginia was made by Charles 11. to an English nobleman, Lord Culpepper, and here, hundreds of years after all trace of Lord Cul pepper has passed away, and with the fact that such a man ever existed known to very few, the county still takes its name from him. It would be inte resting, if it were possible, to disinter the short and simple annals of some of these early Virginian set tlements, and to learn what manner of men com posed them. It would seem that two epochs during the last century were specially conspicuous as having furnished emigrants who settled north and south of the Potomac—the first, the days of good Queen Anne ; the second, the period during which PrinceFrederiuk only son of George 11. was the rising sun of England. We recognise the emigration under Queen Anne in such names as the Rapid Anne River, the North Anna River, Annapolis, and a dozen more; while fancy suggests that in the rude log settlements along the Potomac the echo of the great Duke of Marlborough's victories was loyally caught up, many months after they were gained, and his fame perpetuated in the still exist ing hamlets of Marlborough and Blenheim. The emigration under Prince Frederick seems to have been also considerable. Frederick County and City in Maryland, Frederick County and Fredericks burg ;in Virginia, are among the evidences of it, and it is safe to assert that Virginia has done more than the mother country to keep alive the memory of a Prince who lives for Englishmen only as he is gibbetted in the memoirs of Lord Hervey. Culpepper Court-house lies half-way between the ri•rers Rapidan and Rappahannock. In the woods around it lies the whole of General Longstreet's corps, which, with some slight additions, furnishes an army whose strength is not far from double the strength of that Confederate army which fought the battle of Sharpsburg. General J. E. B. Stuart is at hand, incessantly scouting, reconnoitring, making dashes, taking prisoners. Since he fell back hither from his former headquarters at tLe Bower he has been perpetually skirmishing with the enemy, impeding or delaying his advance, and harassing him by imposing the necessity of constant vigilance. in one of these recent skirmishes the lock of hair above his ear was clipped off by a bullet. So many similar escapes are narrated by nearly every officer to whom one speaks that it seems almost absurd to repeat this one. What seems to be considered much more serious by the General is that several of his men's horses have been at tacked by lameness, arising from a kind of farcy, or grease in the heels, It is presumed that this is caused by their having been fed chiefly on green eorn for many months past, and it is understood that a similar lameness prevails among the Federal horses. But where, in the meantime, is General Stonewall Jackson ? Who can say ? All that is known about him is that he has not crossed the Blue Ridge ; that he rarely sleeps twice in the same camp, and that if he can be said to have any head-quarters, they must ke loosely defined as being in the neighbourhood of Front Royal. But since General Longstreet's corps fell back to Culpepper, General Jackson has advanced to the extreme end of the valley, close to the Potomac and, appearing one morning in one of the Gaps of the Blue Ridge, impending over Loudoun County, he put his hand upon an outpost of 104 Federals, and retired with them in his grasp over the moun tains. From that moment up to the hour of the suspension of his command, Gen. M'Clellan seems to have known little rest or peace by reason of the Puritan general impending over his flank and rear. Even before Gen. M'Clellan was recalled to Wash ington he had commenced his retreat, which has been continued ever since, until the Federal army has put the Rappahannock between itself and its enemy. Indeed, so guarded and cautious has from the commencement been Gen. M'Clellan's advance, that many Confederate officers have always held that he had no real design of advancing in that direction upon Richmond, but that he was merely making feints and engaging attention, and satis fying the Nemesis of the Northern press, while a more formidable blow was being prepared elsewhere. How far this may be true it is impossible for us in the Confederate States to say. It is known that a large force is still at Suffolk, and there are rumours of operations on the North C arolina coast, being and of Weldon, station, eldon, or some adjoin in g threatened from the South. There seems such universal expectation in the Confederacy that the next serious attack upon Richmond will be made to the south of the James River, be it through Suffolk or throuth North Carolina, that General M'Clel lan's recent advance has excited very little interest, because it was not believed to have been in earnest. Now that he has for several days been falling back, languid speculation is aroused as to whether he will drop down the Potomac_to Fredericksburg, or carry his men to the North Carolina coast; for I should add that in the Confederacy General M'Clellan's suspension is not fora moment believed in. This opinion I own that Ido not my self share, but there is hardly a Confederate officer but is aware how much more formidable a Federal army is commanded by General M'Clellanthanidt commanded by any other Fede ral General, and therefore the Confederates cannot be t made to believe that this fact is not equally patent o My own impression is that the day which deposes General M'Clellan and puts General Burnside in his place is the brightest for the Confederates since the commencement of this weary struggle. Dis guise it who likes, the Federals, as fighting ma terial, are not to be compared to their opponents. No one has for months past been better advised of this than General M'Clellan, and it is generally believed here that since the battle of Sharpsburg he has said that he would not again fight General Lee unless he was certain he had four times Gene rAl Lee's time, But if a bravo and rash officer, without much head, like General Burnside, leads his faint-hearted troops into a great battle in the heart of Virginia, it is safe to predict that we shall tit last he in a fair way to see that " crowning vie-- tory" gam e d by the Confederates which is prayed for nigni; and mourning by so many weary, Earnest Souls throughout the Confederacy. Po.isibly the resumption of supreme command by Genoral Burn side may gratify the ardent longing entertained by the Confederates in favour of a large Federal advance through Virginia ; but I Can hardly bring myself to believe in it. A long scouting ride yesterday, in company with General J. E. B. Stuart, in the direction of the little village of Jefferson town, lying about 15 miles north of Culpepper Court-house, revealed to us the rear of the Yankee army rapidly falling back and fighting loosely as it retreated. The woods just be yond Jeffersontown were for some time filled with the enemy's sharpshooters, and it was difficult to force them from their cover. Seldom has so much powder been burnt with so little effect. Oa the Confederate side not a man was wounded ; the only animal that I saw touched was one horse, who got a buckshot above his nostril. It may be presumed that the Federals escaped with as little damage. It is scarcely necessary to add that the normal artillery duel in this instance, protracted for less than a quarter of an hour, was as barren of results as usual. One of the lessons of this war, in which field artillery has been employed to an unpre cedented degree, is that while the moral effect of artillery, especially upon undisciplined troops and among trees, is very great, the actual results at tained thereby may be stated as nil. Of course I am not speaking of artillery employed when the fighting is at close quarters, and grape and canister and shrapnel are used against masses of men. But these artillery duels, which point many a corres pondent's letter and fill many a reader with awe, seem usually to be as bloodless as though they were conducted with blank cartridge. It is doubtful whether by every thousand discharges from cannon so high an average as the death of one human being is attained. Some ingenious arithmetician may amuse himself by computing, taking the price of each shot and shell from a six-pounder up to a 32 pounder and determining the relative number employed, what this life has cot. As evening fell, only a small Federal force remained to the south of the Rappahannock, and night saw them all encamped on its northward bank. This morning we passed some 20-pounder Parrott guns and one long Whitworth gun going to the front, with a view to shelling a Federal camp some two miles north of the river. The Whitworth gun is spoken of as a great success, and commanding a far longer range than any other gun upon either side. - - - PEDESTRIANISM. HACKNEY WICK. RACE BETWEEN E. MILLS, OF LETIINAL"'LEEN, AND DEERFOOT (THE INDIAN.—The race between these pedes trians, who, it will he recollected, are old opponents, took place yesterday pursuant to announcement, on Mr. Baum's Ground, when so great was the public interest, that there could not have been less than 6,000 spectators. The dis tance to be run was six miles, for £O, and, as an additional inducement to the backer of Deerfoot to make the match, Mills agreed, if defeated, to give up the six-mile champion's belt, which had become his own property after winning the late race with J. White, of Gateshead. The present makes the third time the pedestrians have con tended, Mills, the first time they met, having de feated his man in a spin of six miles, and afterwards, in a race of eight, ran a dead heat with the Indian. The distance required the runners to pass the referee 41 times ; and, in order that there should bo no mistake in taking the sc re, the laps, as they were "worked off" by the pedestrians, were distinctly called out by the referee. The race had been fixed to be run at half-past three o'clock and, with punctuality, W. Price, the M.C., had the men on the course at the time named. The Indian was attended by George Martin and J . White, of Gateshead ; while Sam Barker waited en Mills. Teddy looked in blooming condi tion, but we cannot say the same for his swarthy opponent, though his friends were extremely confident. The betting was 6t04 on Mills. The start was made from that portion of the course opposite the stand. The Indian, on this occa sion, wore the usual pedestrian ou'fit, presenting a very different appearance to the popular sporting photographs. Price having given the signal, the pedestrians went off at a rattling pace, the lead being taken by Deerfoot, who, al though he had the body and head inclined a little too for ward, was unquestionably running in better "form" than in the early part of his career. A finer or more graceful runner than Mills never donned flannel for a footrace, and the per fection of his style was soon seen by those who are judges of running. Deerfoot headed his little opponent by some two or three yards, and at a rattling pace the pedestrians ran to the finish of the first mile (4 minutes 41 seconds) without the least change in position. The first two miles were accomplished in gallant style, in 9 minutes 48 seconds, the lead being still in favour of the Indian, who as at start- ing, headed his opponent by some three 3 ards. It was ap— parent thero was at present no disposition on the part of Mills to come to the front, he being contented thus far to merely " feel" his man. When the competitors came down the straight in the 20th lap, this being close on the finish of the third mile, Mills closed on his man, and on passing the referee for the commencement of the next round, was lead ing. On the completion of the third mile (14 minutes 55 seconds) Mills headed his man by some ten or a dozen yards. The astonishing style in which Teddy had opened when he passed his opponent had been quite sufficient to prove to his friends that he was all there, and had the race, even thus early, well in hand. Four miles were run in 20 minutes 15 seconds, five miles in 25 minutes 32 seconds ; Deerfoot, who was unmistakably in difficulties, being at this point, some 40 or 50 yards in the rear. Throughout the last mile the Indian (although the efforts he was making were hopeless) struggled on in the most determined manner. On the finish of the distance Mills went in a winner by full 100 yards ; Deerfoot, in the last , two laps, being completely used up, and falling more and more in the rear at every stride. Mills made an astonishing spurt for the last lap to prove how little the pace had stung him, the six miles being run by the winner in 30 minutes 32 seconds. This is nearly 20 seconds slower than Mills ran the distance in the late splen did race between him and White of Gateshead. Deerfoot has yet a race pending with Mills to run the greatest dis tance in an hour, and in this struggle little Teddy will be sorely tried, as the superior physique of the Indian will probably, in this long journey, tell in his favour. 11031 21123 GAZEF2'.II or LAST Br:ENING.
