A letter received at Chatham, from an officer serv ing on board the Rattlesnake, 21, 490 horse power, states that the vessel encountered a succession of gales before reaching Madeira, and leaked consider ably. She was to be caulked and repaired at Ma deira, after which she would proceed to the coast of Africa. The Eclipse, 4, screw gun vessel, Master Comman der A. S. A. Parks, arrived at Portsmouth on Satur day from Sheerness, having left the latter port on the 14th inst., her trip round to Spithead from the Nore being lengthened by the late heavy weather. Off Hastings the Eclipse was in collision with the merchant schooner Louise, but fortunately without causing or receiving any serious damage. She has gone into harbour from Spithead to make good de fects prior to sailing for the Australian station. The Galatea, 26. screw, Capt. R. Maguire, sailed from Spithead for the West Indies yesterday morn ing, going out to sea by the eastern passage under all plain sail. The Trafalgar, 86, screw, Capt. Hon. T. Baillie, arrived off Portsmouth yesterday morning from the Downs, and anchored in St. Helen's-roads. Admiralty orders have been received at Chatham dockyard, directing that dockyard apprentices who may be serving the latter part of time afloat will, on the completion of their term of apprenticeship, be entered on the books of the establishment as "absent on service." Apprentices whn may applyi for their discharge' from any of her Majesty's ships, on the completion of their term, will be sent to Eng land by any ship of war returning home. A naval court-martial assembled on board her Majesty's ship Victory at Portsmouth on Saturday, consisting of the following members :—Captains Phillimore, Connolly, Lacy, and Fellowes,and Com mander Bonham, for the trial of Mr. James R. Marsden, Sub-Lieut. on board her Majesty's ship Resistance, on two charges :-1, for behaving with disrespect to Commander Hume, of that ship, by standing with his hands in his pockets while that officer was addressing him on service ; 2, for be having disrespectfully on the quarterdeck of the Resistance to Capt. Chamberlain, his superior offi cer. Both charges were found partly proven, and the prisoner was sentenced by the Court to be se verely reprimanded and admonished. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty :—William R. Bennett, M.D., assist.- surg., to Greenwich Hospital; William Roche (b), assist.•surg., to Plymouth Hospital; Gabriel M. Eagles, assist.-surg., to the Impregnable ; Thomas A. O'Flabarty, M.D., assist.-surg., to the Bri tannia ; Dennis A. Riordan, M.D., and John W. Ashford, acting assist.-surgs., additional to the Rattlesnake. IRELAND. DUBLIN, OCT. 25. Yesterday the foundation stone of a new church at Inchicore, near this city, was laid by the Arch bishop of Dublin, in presence of a large assemblage, including Sir Robert Peel, the Provost of Trinity College, the Dean of St. Patrick's, and many of the clergy and gentry. The silver trowel used on the occasion was presented by Mr. Welland, the archi tect, to the Archbishop, and bore an inscription re cording the fact and the date, &c. In the stone was deposited a bottle, with photographic portraits of the Queen, the Prince of Wales, the Lord Lieu tenant, the Archbishop of Dublin, &c. The bottle contained a scroll recording the facts connected with the event, to the following effect :—This parish of St. Jude's formed a portion of the ad joining extensive parish of St. James's, in the city. The Ecclesiastical Commissioners had made a grant towards the erection of a church, which was aided by the subscriptions of the parishioners and others, chiefly the late Primate, the Archbishop, Lord Meath, the Rev. Thomas Kingston, Vicar of St. James, Mr. Benjamin L. Guinness, and Alderman Atkinson. The site is the munificent gift of Mr. M'Birnie, J.P. The scroll also contained the names of the Ecclesiastical Com missioners. The Archbishop, having laid the stone, delivered an address in which he remarked that there had been more churches built in Ireland within the last few years than within the last century. He was in one sense the friend of Protestant ascendancy ; he wished to show that the members of the Established Church were superior to the members of any other denomination in Christian zeal. He had great satis faction in taking part in that ceremony, because it supplied an answer to those who assert that the Es tablished Church is a superfluity, a mere shadow, a church without congregations, ministers without hearers. There are churches; no doubt, with small congregations, where the Protestants are scattered, but there are others, perhaps near, where there is not room for one-fourth of those who claim admit ance. The same may be said of the churches of London, in the city proper, because it is so much occupied with offices, warehouses, counting-houses, &c., the owners of which reside in the suburbs. A person looking at the half empty churches there, or in some parts of Ireland, might exclaim, " How use less are your churches ?" But the Archbishop said that argument reminded him of the King of Moab, who wished Balaam to curse Israel, and when he blessed instead the King said, " Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place from whence thou mayest see them,—thou shalt see but the hinder part of them,—and curse them from thence." Sir Robert Peel, at the request of the parishioners, returned thanks to his Grace for attending to lay the foundation stone. After some introductory re marks on the gratifying nature of the scene before him, he gave utterance to some general reflections on Christian forbearance and mutual toleration as follows " Now, we are most beautifully taught that God is no respector of persons, and that in every case he who serves Him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted of Him. I cannot conceive a more beautiful lesson of Christian charity than that teaches us ; and I think it is infinitely better for us to do as we are doing—doing our work in the erection of this church, for instance, quietly and earnestly, instead of disputing with those who may differ from us upon consci entious grounds, which we are bound to respect--to endea vour by the gentle influence of our example to awaken others to a sense of their own position, and thus, if possible, to bring immortal souls to heaven. (Hear.) I believe, in speaking this, I do but give expression to the feelings and the opinions of all those here assembled—(hear)—and I think, my lord, that your very presence here is an earnest of, your own conviction, and carries with it the sanction of the words which I now utter. Look around this assem bly, and see the groups which cluster round this place. Is there not something very attractive in such a gathering— something very homely, very genial? This is no party demonstration. (Hear.) There is nothing to excite or exasperate any one ; if there were, I, for one, would not be here. There is nothing here to leave behind it the bitter fruits of mutual animosities, or to check, as it were, the flow of mutual goodwill one towards another. Nothing of the kind here. I should like to make one more observation, and one only. I speak as an earnest Protestant—as a man as firmly attached as any in this company to the Protestant institutions of the country, but at the same time the expe rience of my life has taught me to respect and bear with the conscientious convictions of others. Nothing has pained me more—not me only, but also many good friends of the Churclr, many friends of mine—nothing has pained me more, and I am glad of this public opportunity of saying it, than the recent abortive attempts which have been made to stir up a spirit of intolerance among us, by endeavouring to ex cite the public mind by appeals to extreme opinions, and in one instance, I regret to say, upon a plea which every mode rate man in this country knows as well as I do is utterly and entirely unfounded. Just contrast a gathering like this with a demonstration like that to which I have alluded. We have our constitutional rights of meeting, and we al ways avail ourselves of them, but this is the moment of all others at which we should be tolerant. The very moment when we know that there are persons of our own religion who are suffering in other lands the bitterest persecution is the moment when we should show our Christian charity and forbearance by our kindly bearing ro others who may differ from us. I ask you for one moment to contrast the noisy demonstration to which I have alluded with this peace ful, family-like gathering. I allude partioularly to that which took place recently at Belfast. No possible benefit can result from such demonstrations. They do not do good to the cause of religion. They cannot afford us one mo ment's repose, or comfort, or consolation ; and depend upon it they do not contribute one iota to consolidate that faith and those principles which need no such extraneous aid to flourish in this land. These, I believe, are the sentiments of those I see gathered around me. Turn from that picture and look at this large group gathered together. Is there not something very attractive, I should say, in such a gather ing? We do not want any mob agencies here. We do not want to deface the laws of charity and Christian society. No, I want to see the work done quietly and honestly, and 1 think you could not do it better than by building in loca lities where churches are required by the circumstances of the population; by building churches to which we invite all, without distinction, to come within their consecrated walls, where the thankoffering of a grateful heart may as cend to the Throne of Heaven. Now, I ought not to speak thus. It is not my province to allude to this most beautiful subject. Let it be for others to do that. My sole duty now is to do that which I have been requested to do by the pa rishioners, through their honoured minister, and I now therefore offer to his Grace most respectfully, in the name of all these people, our most sincere acknowledgments and thanks for the part which he has taken in inaugurating this work. I hope that it may be speedily completed. I hope, as bis Grace has so well said, that the people who live in this vicinity may know how toavail themselves of the eppor • tunities that are here brought within their reach; and I hope that they, and their little ones, and their descendants, may here, on this very spot, learn those lessons of Divine discipline and knowledge which will better fit them for the duties, for the trials of their station in this world, and in the world to come may open to them the gates of everlast ing life." (Applause.) Three hearty cheers were then given for Sir Robert at the request of some person in the assem bly. The Doxology was then su ng , a f ter w h ic h hi s Grace the Archbishop of Dublin pronounced the benediction, and the proceedings terminated. On Thursday evening the marriage of Lord Dufferin and Clandeboye with ',Miss Hamilton, daughter of the late Captain Hamilton, of Killy leagh Castle, county of Down, was celebrated at Killyleagh Castle, with great rejoicings. The cere mony took place at 7 o'clock in the evening, in the drawing-room of the Castle—the Rev. Dr. Hincks, rector of Killyleagh, assisted by the Rev. John Russell, curate, officiating. The bride was given away by her brother, Mr. Hamilton, and th© brides maids were Misses Gwendoline and Catherine Hamil ton. The other parties present were Mts. Hamilton, Capt. and Mrs. George Hamilton, and Capt. John Hamilton. After the ceremony the bride and bride groom departed for Clandeboye, the seat of Lord Dafferin. Their carriage Was drawn through the streets of Killyleagh and on to Milltown by a por tion of the tenantry of Mrs. Hamilton, attended by torchbearers, and a vast concourse of the inhabitants of the village and surrounding illuminat d the The village was brilliantly e , and the various hills on the estates of Lord Dufferin and Mrs. Hamilton for several miles round 'were lit up with bonfires. Addresses from the tenantry were pre sented to Lord Dufferin and the mother of the bride, to which replies were given. The utmost enthusiasm prevailed among the inhabitants, and the warmest wishes were expressed for the welfare of the happy couple. THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBI2ION. The return of visitors for the past week is less by at least 100,000 than the number anticipated, and with the moderate attendances on the shilling days have vanished the last hopes of ever seeing such numbers in the building as thronged to the closing days of 1851. 'Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday last were remarkably fine days in point of weather, yet the average of the three was less than 50,000 visitors. Saturday too showed an unexpected dimi nution, and, contrary to president, was below the numbers of the previous day, the payments being only 15,809 and season tickets 9,430, total 25,239. The gross returns for each day last week are as follows Monday (15.)...„ ... Tuesday (15.) Wednesday (is.) Thursday (ls.) Friday (2s. 6d.) Saturday (2s. 6d.) Total 240,066 This brings up the total numbers since the com mencement to 5,797,599, still leaving a deficit of 240,000 to make the numbers equal with those of 1851. There is not the least doubt bat that the attendance of this, the last week, will much more than make up this deficiency, especially as it is known that his Imperial Highness the Prince Napo leon with the Princess Clotilde, will visit the build ing on Friday and Saturday next. The numbers during the subsequent fortnight allowed for sales are not likely to be very large, and are estimated at from 8,000 to 10,000 payments a day, with the customary proportionlof season-ticket visitors. The price of admission on these days has not been offi cially announced, but it is understood that it will not be more than half-a-crown. - Fairly speaking, it should be less than this sum, as after Saturday next two of the chief attractions of the building will be closed to the public—the Picture Galleries and the Machinery Annexe, in both of which de partments exhibitors will at once commence remov ing. Probably with a view to the sales that will be effected during these days, many exhibitors have recently added largely to their collections with works more or less attractive and costly. Some of these, as in the Porcelain and Glass Courts, are exceedingly beautiful, and these Courts, with the specimens now exhibited by Minton, the Royal Worcester Works, Copelanda and Rose, and Daniel and Co. are probably at present more full of the best illustrations of ceramic art than they have been at any period of the Exhibition. In like manner, in the Glass Court, Messrs. Dobson and Pearce, Mr. Phillips, Mr. Pellatt, Mr. Naylor, Green, and Co., Defries, and Powell and Co., hav e each, at the last moment, almost entirely replen ished their collections with really wonderful ex amples, both as to design - and shapes, of cut and engraved glass. In no other class in the Exhibi tion, not even in that devoted to iron and metal work, have the English more utterly distanced their foreign competitors than in glass manufacft tures and works of art. None are more willing to admit this, or more hearty in their appreciation of our success than the representatives of the great continental glass works now in this country. During the last few weeks Mr. Szerelmey, so well known for his labours in connexion with his new process of preserving the stone of the new Houses of Parliament from decay, has sent in several spe cimens of a new kind of leather cloth which is just now exciting a good deal of attention, and is likely to prove a N aluable discovery. By the application of a composition known only to the inventor, calico, linen, or alpaca, when coated with it, assumes many most valuable properties of ordinary leather, the fabric itself retaining all its flexibility, though per fectly water-proof, and possessing all the strength of common leather, though infinitely lighter and less than half the cost. The process is capable of application to all the materials for which hides are now used, so that if the material only realises in practice any one of the many savings its use is said to effect it will be one of the most valuable new materials the Exhibition has brought forth. In the Indian Court the well-known costumesare now for sale at reduced prices, very significative of the close of the Exhibition. The jackets are beau tifully embroidered in velvet an&gold, and some of them in those days of " braveries" would not be misplaced even in everyday attire. The peasants' jewellery is quaint and picturesque. The same may be said of the filagree and church plate, which might well form part of some fine art museum. Messrs. Kennard and Co., of the Falkirk Iron Works, 'lave set an example of liberality which we hope will find many imitators. They have sent directions that all the goods they show in the build ing, to the value of between £5OO and £6OO, shall be sold off during the 14 days' sale for whatever they will fetch, for the benefit of the distressed Lan cashire operatives. While referring to these dona tions we may, perhaps, be excused for suggesting to colonial exhibitors that there is a very consider able proportion of objects shown in their collec tions, such as cases of insects, stuffed birds, com mon minerals, hard woods, small native manufac tures, &c., scarcely any of which will repay the expense and trouble of removal from this country and which have absolutely no value whatever in their own. If some of these were sent to the many large orphan schools and charitable institutions for the training of children in this metropolis, they would form small but most useful museums on such subjects as natural history, mineralogy, and even processes of manufacture, as could not fail to be in the highest degree useful, because interesting also to the poor little children. We know that many colonies are puzzled what to do now with such objects as we have mentioned, and we feel sure the trustees of charities will be most grateful for the donations. We believe it is the intention of the English ex hibitors to present Mr. Superintendent Darkin, of the police, with a testimonial expressive of their admiration for the zeal and vigilance he has dis played in his management of the police force since the opening of the building. Not many connected with the Exhibition are more deserving of this reward, and none have had such responsibility as the safe keeping of goods of such value, and so easily stolen, necessarily entails. From first to last the whole conduct of the police has been most admirable, and both English and foreign exhibitors are alike loud in their praise. The total value of all things actually stolen from the building, includ ing, of course, the petty thefts arising from the dis honesty of exhibitors' attendants, has, we believe, been under £lO, and in nearly every case the thief has been traced and the property recovered. A curious instance was given of this vigilance week, when a countryman lost his purse twice byl the same d a y. O n b oth occasions i t was fo un d the the police, and rea d y at t h e stat i on -h o use w hen last careless own er came to ma k e k no wn his loss.

His Royal Highness the General Commanding in• Chief will hold a levee at one o'clock on Friday, the 31st inst. The 60th Regiment (King's Royal Rifle Corps), 2d battalion, under the command of Col. F. R. Palmer, C. 8., paraded on Southsea-common, Ports mouth, on Thursday last, for their half-yearly in spection by Major-Gen. Lord W. Paulet, C.B. After marching past the regiment was put through a series of manoeuvres, at the close of which Lord Paulet expressed his gratification at what he had seen, and said that it would give him great plea sure in forwarding, as he should do, to his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief, a highly favourable report of the condition and discipline of the regiment. The appearance of the men was re markably smart and soldierlike, and this was fur ther enhanced by the fact of nearly every man under arms wearing the Indian medal. A notification was on Saturday received at Chatham garrison from the Horse Guards, that there will be several vacancies at the Normal School, Chelsea, for training schoolmasters for the army, to be competed for on the 22d of January next by non-commissioned officers who may be re commended as candidates. The examination will be conducted in the presence of an officer or board of officers nominated by the general or other officer commanding, by means of printed questions, to be answered in writing by the candidates who will be assembled at the camps of instruction, or at the head-quarters of districts. Non-commissioned offi cers who may be recommended as eligible to pass the examination must be medically reported upon, statirg their fitness as regards health and freedom from physical infirmity. Under the new regula tions for the training ;of schoolmasters candidates who have completed their education, and are certi fied to be fit for appointments as schoolmasters, will be discharged from their regiments, and be re-enlisted for the army without additional bounty, with a view to their being ap pointed schoolmasters to such schools as may be selected. Schoolmasters of the first class will be appointed warrant officers, and rank next below the commissioned officers ; those of the other classes will take rank next below that of ser geant-major. The pay of each class will be as fol lows :—First class, 7s. a day ; second class, ss. 6d. ; third class, 4s. ; with an addition of Is. a day after 10 years' service. Promotion from one class to another will be made by the General Commanding in-Chief. After 21 years' service the pension as signed to the schoolmaster will be as follows :-First class, 3s. 6d. a day ; second class, 35.; third class, 2s. 6d.

Lieut: Whyte, of the 6th Regiment, hitherto sta tioned at the camp at Colchester, has been ordered to join the service companies of his regiment at Corfu; and Capt. Rekewich, of the 2d battalion sth Regiment, has received instructions to join the de pot at Colchester. A party of invalids, unfit for further service, left the camp at the close of last week for Chatham, under the medical charge of Staff-Assist.-Surg. Watson. Lieut. Leeds, R.A., left the camp on Friday for Lowestoft, for the pur pose of superintending the firing from" . .heavy guns of the Ist Suffolk Artillery Volunteers. We regret to announce the death of Gen. Sir W. Geo. Moore, K.C.8., which occurred at Montrose house, Petersham, on the 23d inst. The deceased was son of the late Mr. F. Moore, Under-Secretary of State, by Frances, daughter of Sir W. Twysden, and nephew of Lieut.-Gen. Sir John Moore, who fell at the battle of Corunna. He was born in 1795 and was educated at Harrow. He entered the army as Ensign April 18, 1811, and served in the Penin sula with the 52d, and was present at the sieges of Ciudad Rodrigo, Badajoz, and St. Sebastian, and also at the battles of Salamanca, Vittoria, Nivelle, and the Nive, for which he was rewarded with the war medal and seven clasps.

STAMPED ....sd. GEOLOGISTS' ASSOCIA7ION, A party of the members and the ir friends assem bled at the International Exhibition, at ten o'clock on Saturday morning , fo r the p ur p ose of listening to a number of t`”llting lectures on som e of the objects of interest connected W ith this society. The first visit was paid to Hancuck's case, where Pro f Tennant pointed out the peculiarities of some of the I)evonshire gems, including the f nest known emerald. Hunt and Roskell's case was also in spected, rind the diamonds, sapphires, rubies, opals, polished beryls, aquamarines, &c., from the collect' I Lions of the Marquis of Westminster and the late Mr Hope, excited admiration, as did the rubies and diamonds, including the Koh-i-neor, the private property of her Majesty, in Garrard's case. The party then proceeded to Nova Scotia, where Mr. Marsh gave an admirable account of the discovery of gold in that country, and called attention to its remarkable purity. The fine specimens of alumi nium and its compounds in Messrs. Bell's case formed the subject of a lecture by Mr. Meredith. After which the party proceeded to Messrs. John son and Matthey's case, where Mr. Tomlinson gave a lecture on platinum and some of its associated metals, describing the difference between Wollas: ton's and Deville'a processes for preparing platinumk Mr. C. H. Smith, the veteran geologist, in the midst of the building stones in the Eastern Annexe, leo- , tured on his favourite subject, after which Professor` Tennant called attention to the granites, serpen tines, and porphyries. The party next proceeded to Victoria, where Mr. Osborne gave an interesting account of the geological survey of that distant colony, and of the method of preparing the maps of the same. Dr. Milligan then explained the mineral products of Tasmania. Mr. Jones gave an account of two bejewelled portraits in the Indian depart ment, after which Mr. Dowleans allowed the party to examine the articles in jade, and pointed out some of the more interesting mineral products of India. The Belgian ores were next explained, and the party wound up with a visit to America, where Mr. Clement spoke of the ores from California, in cluding those of mercury and silver, while these and the copper from Lake Superior formed the sub ject of an animated discussion, thus bringing to a close this, the last, and perhaps the most successful visit of the members of the Geologists' Association to this marvellous collection of the world's industry. . CHINA AND JAPAN. The Ovtrland Mail of Sept. 11 contains an account of the movements of the rebels, and some other matters of interest; among other things we find the following " As regards the rebels, we have to record the reappear ance in the immediate neighbourhood of Shanghae, of those plundering bands which usually precede the main body when the Taepings meditate attacking a large city. The strategic purpose fulfilled by the approach of the irregular companies thus sent on is, to spread alarm previous to the arrival of the general force, and it has rarely been found unsuccessful where a city has been held only by Imperial troops. On the 22d ultimo the smoke of burning hamlets showed to the residents of Shanghae the now well-known signs of an advance into the district by rebels. On the 29th ultimo the same indications were most marked, and a reconnoitring force was dispatched from the settlement to check the further approach of the marauders. Refugees, as before, continued to pour into the city and settlement in large numbers, and the destitute among them had their immediate wants relieved by a charitable committee, which has been doing the work of the good Samaritan for some time back. Unfortunately the means at this committee's 1 disposal is not at all commensurate with the demand already made upon it, but the best is being done that can be done; doubtless all the provisions taken in future excursions against the Taepings will be placed in the hands of proper persons for due distribution among the sufferers, instead of being appropriated as spoil by the troops who may happen to find them. On Monday, the 25th, a reconnoitring party proceeded into the country to inspect the state of affairs. According to the Aorth China Herald this party must have consisted of eleven individuals, ten of whom were civilians. The party was composed of Captain Borlase, R.N., Mr. Alabaster, of her Britannic Majesty's consulate, Captain Panmure Gordon, and eight troopers of the Shanghae Mounted Rangers. After passing some hun dreds of affrighted villagers on the way, they reached the second hamlet beyond the bridge north of the Soochow Creek, where they discovered some Taepings plundering the houses. These fled on their approach ; but the gallant Rangers, it appears, not content with this proof of their usefulness, pursued and sabred all they could come up with. It is a pity that our attitude towards the rebels should be fated to have a demoralising effect upon most of the agents employed in maintaining it, for we cannot very cordially ap plaud the prowess of a few mounted and well-armed mer cantile gentlemen who merely pursued and cut down flying wretches that were offering them no resistance. Doubtless the miserable creatures deserved the death they got, but the mode in which their doom overtook them does not shed lustre upon the arms of the Shanghae Volunteers, whose swords have thus been fleshed for the first time. It was re ported that these straggling skirmishers, or plunderers, had been sent on in advance from the army of Chung Wang, who is suspected to be reorganising an attack upon Shang hae against the time when the hot weather shall have abated. Such a step on Chung Wang's part would consti tute the most desperate enterprise ever attempted by the Taeping rebels ; but the likelihood is that, notwithstanding their numbers and the temptation afforded by a prize like Shanghae, no such undertaking will ever be issued. The issue of any such attempt would be a most sanguinary con flict, although it is scarcely to be doubted where success would ultimately fall. The rebels must find that, slowly but surely, opinion is setting in against them, and the necessity of meeting the current of hostile opinion by determined and decisive action may probably have entered into their plans. Altogether the political prospects for winter in regard to this Taeping question are decidedly obscure. To what extent this people are forced by mere want to extend their movements, we cannot have any sure means of ascertaining; but if it has come to be a matter of sheer necessity with them. the e most desperate m easures on their part may a nticipated.

" At Shanghae a meeting is about to be held to consider proposals for the better government of the settlement. The proposal to have Shanghae constituted a free city has dis appeared before the inquiry as to how the thing could be done. The wants of the place have somewhat outgrown the executive machinery, and an increase in the consular staff will most probaby be the simplest solution of the diffi culty.

This gallant s(--r -vice was not performed without loss on the part of the Sl7 niards, who. however, had proceeded on their cruise in the direction of Borneo.

Smith, Elder, and Co. Thi s is a clever story of "A Fre);ch Marriage, showing c ocsiderable familiarity with different phases of French life, whilst the characters are powerfully drawn, and. some of the scenes posesss much dramatic vigour. The heroine, Celie Forgeot, who is both beautiful and•amiable, after being kept in the background by her vain and hear tivss mother, is at length sold by her for the sum of tem thousand francs, to Monsieur de Molin, who, having been appointed Prefect of Droumar, determines to marry, and has been smitten with Celie's grace and beauty. His sister, Victoire, however, who is both : ' . 'itiaprincipled and extravagant, and who wishes to. estrange the husband and wife,, succeeds in reviv ing his.attdohment for a married lady, and endea ',pure', at, a French watering place, to entangle Celia in an intrigue with a yoTiog Englishman named Ward. In this she fails, though she con trives to make De Molin suspicious, and her triumph for a time seems complete. Fearful, how ever, lest she should be forced to account for an emerald necklace of Celie's, which she had bor rowed and sold, to pay her gambling debts, she determines to poison her, and, but for the interfe rence of an old servant named Angelique, she would have succeeded. This necklace has fallen into the hands of Celie's brother, a young roue, who uses it as a means to extort money from Victoire. She meets him by appointment on the bank of a river, struggles to possess herself of it, they both fall in, and Victoire emerges no more. Part of the story is laid in England, and follows the fortunes of Henry Ward, who has been smitten with Celie, but is at length consoled by a handsome cousin, named Ellen Byron. As a specimen of the author's style, we give the following description of— AN' ENGLISH LANE. "Ward looked up gratefully at the overarching trees, and the intense blue sky seen through their autumn-tinted foliage. The hedges out of which the huge trunks sprung were almost smothered in wreaths 9f travellers' joy—the blossom nearly over, for it was the end of autumn, but the bright silky tufts children call old man's heard, well sup plied its place. Flowers of any kind were fa more rare than they had been a few months earlier, though mountain ash, service, and other berries gave colour to the hedge rows ; while on the bank below the grey old trunks throw ing out gnarled roots here and there, sometimes in the path way itself, were covered with ivy, and the bright upspringing fronds of polypody, that in the chequered sunshine looked like fabled heaps of gold—the pro perty in former times of the crooked, distorted trunk, a fierce and cruel dwarf, who had tried to gain forcible possession of the bright damsel beside him, and failing his attempt, at the hour of his own transformation had changed her into that graceful trembling mare's tail. There were still a few yellow flowers, the flea •bane with its golden stars, the ragwort, and others ; but the absence of variety among these was atoned for by the luxuriant growth of ferns. The hedge bank ended in a wet ditch, and sloped up on the near side in a grassy, spongy mound, the true soil for ferns and water plants; from the grand spreading crown of the male shield-fern, reminding me always of the plumed head of an Indian warrior, to the delicate black stalked trichomanes, they abounded—the brightly varied shades of the shield-ferns, from rich green to the pale yellowish tint of the young fronds, varied with the broad green satin ribands of harts-tongue, that clung close to the bank and formed the foundation of this mass of verdure, to appearance only. Look a little closer, if you are not afraid of being entangled among the long pendant briars that hang from the hedge, and almost conceal the ditch itself, or the stronger, more redoubtable thorns of wild rose, that guard the scarlet hips from all depreelators. If you can dare all these, and plant your foot firmly on the other side of the ditch, underneath those closely-clinging leaves of harts tongue, you will find mosses of all kinds, full of living creatures ; and, again, below, on any patches of stone, where the bank is very wet, the shiny mysterious liverwort—a plant to my mind associated with witcheratt—there is such a weird uncanny look about it." The Edinburgh Review. In " Solar Chemistry," the first article in this number, we find an account of some curious experi ments as to the nature and chemical action of light, though the writer admits that " the more the ques tion of the physical constitution of the sun is con sidered, the more does it appear that we have no right to make up our minds concerning it, either in one way or the other." That which follows, on " The Herculanean Papyri," shows how disap pointing has been the result obtained from this supposed mass of literary treasure. "In general literature, whether Greek or Latin, it proved a corn. plete blank. Not a single one of the longed-for authors appeared among its remains ; hardly even a single fragment of their writings. It was found to be a class collection, in the narrowest sense of the phrase, its contents being exclusively philoso phical, and indeed confined to one particular scho ol of philosophy—the Epicurean ; and the auth ors expehe be ing for the most part entirely unknown, ex cept sou members of one of the least lit erary of tlae phical sects of antiquity."

THE DFSPERA7E POACHING AFFRAY IN NOITINGHAM. On Saturday morning, Charles Maltby, William Smith, and Absolom Bickley, three of the poachers connected with the affray in Nottingham on Wed nesday night, were brought up on remand before the town bench of magistrates at the police -court. The case had been adjourned since Thursday, to allow the attendance of Brooks, Lord Chesterfield's gamekeeper, who had been seriously injured on the head with a life-preserver, he not being able to at tend that day ; he is still in a precarious state, and was not able to be present at the examination. Superintendent Horne and Constable Rudkin gave evidence to the effect that when they entered the public-house to apprehend Walker and Worth ington, Bickley said to Walker, "Do you mean to go, Tom ? " Walker replied " No." Bickley then rejoined, " Up, and at 'em," and immediately struck the officers, ultimately escaping with Walker. This morning, however, he was apprehended by the town police. - The Bench said they would summarily convict Bickley and Smith, who were each sentenced to one month's imprisonment with hard labour, in default of not paying a penalty of £5. Upon being removed both the prisoners looked at the police-officers end said, " They shall pay for it when we have done. Maltby was remanded for a period not exceeding eight days. Mr. Lees again applied for bail. Mr. Buttery appeared on behalf of :the Earl of Chesterfield, stating that his lordship's own surgeon was attending the keeper, and was uncertain whether the wounds world not prove fatal, an they were of a most dangerous character. Ho should, therefore, oppose bail_ The prisoner was then removed. t and Pills.— [ADVERTISEMENT.
