It has also granted rewards .mounting to £572 for saving 502 shipwrecked persons, by shore-boats and other means, mak ing a total of 1,302 persons saved from a watery grave during the last two years and a half. The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the Society, ,nd other means, since Its formation, is 12,690; for which services 82 Gold Medals, 711 Silver Medals, and £16,0 , 0 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu tion has also expended £64,300 on Life-boats, Life-boat Transporting -car► (ages, and Boat-houses. The public cannot but sympathise with the vigorous efforts now being made by this Institution to save the lives ot Ship wrecked Crews. Their help was never more needed than at he present time, when, through the extraordinary exertions he Society has made within the past few years, it has now One Hundred and Twenty-three Life-boats under its man agement, for the maintenance of which, in a state of thorough efficiency, a large permanent annual income is absolutely needed, if its humane mission is to be perpetuated.

THE CAUSES of PREMATURE DECA Y . — -I- Authors of eminence have ascribed the decline of the Roman empire to the effeminacy of manners, which precluded resistance ; and this effeminacy they trace chiefly to vicious habits acquired in early life, by which, in our own time, an influential journalist has endeavoured to account for the de cline of population in the Asiatic provinces of Turkey. The peculiar source of physical and moral degeneracy al luded to has at all times been specially deprecated by philo sophers and philanthropists. It besets inexperienced youth, laying the foundation of future misery, poisoning the nuptial cup with bitter malignity; destroying health, curtailing life, and making it, during its brief career, a scene of anguish, from the consciousness of humiliating infirmity. The evil is but too rife in our age and country ; and expe chief, h o rience can often discern the sad results in the early deaths, the hereditary and perpetuated ailments, and the matri monial discords and sandals, described, in convential par lance,ti;jea.as " unaccountable" and "mysterious." In cases of ness and injury to or suspension of faculties whose sound happrnueus vigour form styli a prominent constituent in human s, sufferers may have their fears removed, the In's wever severe and inveterate, eradicated, and their - -' , RT il realised hopes of Er , ice_ o l r s n ,_ post free i restoration to life's prerogatives fully Dr. L , m ,„ taMed ton ~ descrie disorders , and his treatise on "Self-Pre lost' these .—, has been engaged for 20 years in the describes how all t t o he an att a r d ib v u an te e s ed of p li eri a od nhoo ol d w ar e e. or s t u ns P h e e n a d it e h d ' a r d d how they can be restored and main- Price u . hili ; or fr 0,,,,, sealed envelope 20 stamps, by Mann, daily, from ii tin n. t he Author , who may be consulted 87, BEDienV,l. l l e i at his residence, " - ' m •ScallAltE, London. - ' . / --t s° dt O Z.-• a/9-- - - _ - (/' _ - • ../// ~e 14 % f a . 4 ' 11\ 14;411 ,t , • art - J u r Afil- 4 ,41; „A uk -4 f .) • • .t•-• ...• - ••.• . • 16-410 1 , ;„ • .41nr 41*, 4V.

So extended have been the researches of M. Thiers during the process of preparing the ground for the building up of this gigantic historical memorial of the age of Napoleon, that, in compari son with these labours of investigation, the toils of Macaulay described by him so graphically in an incidental passage of his great literary masterpiece, shrink into insignificance.

The Chrysanthemum will be again, for a short sea son, the subject of general admiration, and we shall all feel that of late years we have been unjust to this queen of the autumn. There is to be no great show at the Crystal Palace—none at Kensington ; and some of the once most flourishing local societies have passed away, leaving " not a rack behind." No ! they have left in the minds of all who took part in them some regrets that the chrysanthemum wa s ever allowed to decline in popularity. A succession of bad seasons was, no doubt, one great cause of the decline of the societies, and the extinction of the great exhibitions; but no doubt there is another cause for the diminution of local interest in this charming flower, and that is the want of a " con necting link" between one autumn and the next — something to keep the members together as friends and neighbours ; something to be done by them " all the year round." What should that connecting link be? A thousand plans might be suggested for sustaining the interest and good-fellowship first en listed in the cause of a chrysanthemum show. We can think of none better than occasional meetings to hear letures, read and discuss essays, compare notes of ex perience, and cultivate feelings of friendship. " Ah," says the curious reader," if you do all this, the idea of a crysanthemum society is at an end." Why should that be? Bat suppose that is the ease ;if the chrysanthemum society can be expanded into some thing better, why not expand it, and have the best thing of the kind obtainable ? We confess we should sooner support a gardener's society, having for one of its objects to promote the culture of the chrysan themum, than a society devoted to the chrysanthe mum and "nothing more." We have seen in num berless instances that when the show was over the enthusiasm it awakened cooled down. As the season came round again it might revive; but if in the end the season proved a bad one, as in 1860, it did not come up to its former standard, and having once fallen from its first estate, the society never re covered. Probably there are very few of our readers who cannot testify from their own experience to the truth of this view of the case. The remedy is obvious. Instead of establishing societies for the chrysanthemum only, let the energies of the pro moters be bestowed in establishing societies for mutual improvement among gardeners, giving the chrysanthemum as large aplace as posible in their pro gramme. Then you have co-operation of many who are not growers of chryanthemums; there is a bond of unity among men of the same craft, though they m e a rv y a h ls a , ve very various tastes and be very differently toccupied.it wouldlnsteadh e o h f e a t t efer t o freque n tly q a u t distant et l y; and in tervals, there is any lack of entertainment, much real good might be done by the simple reading aloud of some portion of a book on gardening, articles from horticultural journals, and books of an entertaining class not horticultural.

History of the Consulate and Empire of France under Napoleon. By Adolphe Thiers. Vol. XX., completing the work. Willis and Sotheran. One of the most remarkable of the great histori cal productions of the century has here been brought to its conclusion. As picturesque and elaborated a record, it is, of the age of Napoleon, as the Chronicles of Froissart were of the age of Chivalry! Thiers has proved himself to be as the biographer of Napo leon what Arrian and Curtius were combined to Alexander—as an annalist of the Great Captain's campaigns what Coesar was to himself. Quite as a matter of course, the work is coloured by the writer's own intense predilections. It could not in reason be expected by any sane man to be other wise. As rationally might one turn to that Model Memoir of a Hero, Robert Southey's " Life of Nel son," expecting to find it written from first to last with a mind perfectly calm and equable, with a pulse at no moment accelerated by a single throb, with a judgment throughout in unwavering equi poise. An effusion of that character, could it by any possibility have been produced, would have been something intolerable, IV hy, in regard to herculean labours such as those which have been so assiduously prosecuted, and we may now venture to add, so successfully accom plished, during the last eighteen or twenty years by the gifted ex-Premier of France, it may safely be asserted that they would carcely ever be undertaken by any man competent to complete them without the preliminary incentive of precisely those very predilections, that some shallow observers and pretended critics are so dis posed to complain of, and are so loud and ceaseless in declaiming against upon every conceivable op portunity. When au. Englishman like Southey undertakes to recount the history of the life and fortunes of a sea-captain like Horatio Nelson, we take it for granted, before turning one solitary page of the narrative, that it will be no cold. or even luke-warm expression that will be there poured forth from the writer's intellect—proffered to the reader's lips to quaff, whenever he lists, from the current of the Biography. No, it is perfectly understood by all, from the first instantaneous glance at the title page, that the Biographer is a Biographer, for the simple reason, the very precise reason, that he is in sympathy with the one whom he himself has voluntarily selected to be the Hero of his Biography. The piquant irony directed by Lord Macaulay in one of his famous Essays against that disease of overmuch praise peculiarly apper taining to the class of biographers, a disease face tiously dubbed by the great Essayist the " lues Bos welliana," that piquant irony of Macaulay's always appeared to us excessively overwrought in various ways, and in many instances capable of egregious misapplication. An irony it was, to our thinking, too keenly pointed, too cruelly barbed, too fiercely poisoned—and, after all, as it happened, recoiling against the breast of the very man whose hand sped it with such accurate aim against others, re coiling upon himself with an eccentricity of move ment like that of some literary boomerang. For the great historic masterpiece of Lord Macaulay's ge nius—incomplete, the merest fragment of a " History of England," perfect and of admirable proportions in a purely literary point of view as a " History of King 'William lll."—is warped and coloured, and saturated, so to speak, with more intense prejudices, with more highly coloured predilections than any other intellectual production of the same class that could be mentioned as having seen the light in this generation. There, in truth, is a flagrant in stance, if you please, of the lues Boswelliana ! In estimating Southey's capabilities as an erotic poet, Lord Macaulay could say of him wittily enough, in a sudden outbut st of scornful antithesis, that his imaginary cnamorata," either loved like cattle, or loved like seraphim." But—as gross were those extremes and exaggerations of antithesis into which Lord Macaulay himself plunged when he undertook not to warble like a lyrist, but to grave, with an iron stylus, upon enduring tablets, the records of our national glory—as the last, and, in many respects, the most rarely gifted of our English Historians. Reading his annals, as he has writ them, James the Second is depicted throughout as an impossible Monster—William of Orange as an equally impos sible Paragon. The one lowers upon us through an atmosphere as black as Erebus. The other shines before our dazzled eyes as if (to adopt the historian's own phrase, when he is speaking of Milton) crowns of asphodel were seen already showering around him upon the jasper pavements of the new Jerusa lem ! Without some recognisable leaning, partiality, predilection (call it what you will) to begin with, an annalist's or a biographer's work would be the dreariest reading well imagina ble : the least attractive—listless, torpid, all but lifeless. Recognising the vivifying animus of the Historian in the very title-page of his History, of the biographer in the very opening of his Biography, the reader is, to the full, forearmed be cause, to the full, forwarned. The reader's judgment under those circumstances, with that perfectly ap preciable forewarning, can never, if he be but a man endowed with the most ordinary amount of saga city, be biased in the conclusion to which his author is so clearly bent, from the outset, upon conducting him. The Golden Bowl (of the Life related) while traversing again in fancy those " paths of glory" that " lead but to the grave," may have that bias imparted to it before reaching the common goal of every biography—but not to any rational reader's judgment. What has been reccgnised therefore again and again in all the grander masterpieces of literature of a historical or of a biographical cha racter, is here visible anew and in a resplendent form ire these majestic annals of the Great Napoleon, penned by the "some time" Prime Minister of France, M. Adolphe Thiers. Throughout the annalist writes, if not avowedly as a Bonapartist, necessarily and inevitably, and to his honour, be it said, of course, as a Frenchman. For Napoleon he cherishes —quite as a matter of course, and we respect him for it—the most profound admiration. In recount ing the wonderful deeds of Napoleon, the marvellous conquests made by France under his rule, first of all, during the Consulate and afterwards during the Empire, M. Thiers—as a Frenchman, as a French historian, as a French statesman, as a patriot, as a man of genius, himself nurtured upon the soil which was for so many years the 7roll (TVA) of this warlike Archimedes, this great captain, this great lawgiver —exults in the mere retrospect, in the mere remem brance. When the marvellous fabric built up within a period of fifteen years by Napoleon begins to shake and crumble away from its foundations, when this Colossus is falling, has fallen—Thiers laments and in no feeble voice of lamentation. Over the memory of the grand final crash at Waterloo—[de scribed with great elaboration, and we grieve to add (what so many of our brother-critics here in England have proved of late usque ad nauseam) with great unfairness in this last volume] — the Historian of Napoleon's Consulate and Empire, the Historian previously of the French Revolution, cries out with a voice of anguish,. of remonstra nce, of indignation —to put the fact in simple makes the best of it, so far as relates to th can and the generalship of his idol Napoleo a mount not but think that there has been an undue sfie of the of angry feeling manifested on thisadvanced by M. channel in respect to the argument advanced levweortacti c s Thiers in explanation, from a F Fr ance, of that immense disaster for Battle e r of Waterloo. triumph for the Allies, in and of flagrantly in t pointhe immensevview, his narrative of the bat tle Granted that repeatedly may be visible, but error— define the error M.

Admitted that there is a palpao purpose of determining what measures should be adopted for the general's relief, induced the com mittee of gentlemen at whose instigation I first went to Varignano to request me to make another jour ney ; and although the visit was undertaken at much personal inconvenience, I felt it my duty to yield to their solicitation, and accordingly, having re ceived on the 25th Oct. an intimation by telegraph that the consultation was fixed for the 29th, I left London on the morning of the 26th. Owing, how ever, to tempestuous weather, which prevented the steamer from leaving harbour, I was unable (though I travelled without intermission) to reach Spezzia until after the consultation. I cannot, however, re gret my absence, as the large number of medical men assembled rendered it less satisfactory than it might otherwise Lave been. I saw the general en the 30th Gctober, the day of my arrival at Spezzia, where he occupied a suite of apartments on the first floor of the Marine Hetel. I was present at the afternoon clressieg on that *lay, and on the follow ing one I made, in conjunction with Dr. Pirogoff, the chief of the Medical Department of the Rus sian Army at Sebastopol, and perhaps the first authority on gun-shot wounds in Europe, a careful, quiet, and satisfactory examination into the state of the general's wound and health. It should be stated that on the day preceding the consultation M. Nela ton, an eminent French surgeon, examined the wound with a probe, and believed that he detected a hard substance, which he declared to be the ball, about an inch within its orifice. His recommenda tion was that the wound should be enlarged gra dually, by means of tents of increasing s i ze , b y which he anticipated that in the course of five or six days the ball could be readily removed by a pair of forceps. On the 29th Oct., at the consulta tion, the question of amputation was proposed, dis cussed, and happily rejected. At the same time M. Porta, the experienced and distinguished surgeon of Pavia, made a searching examination with his little finger thrust forcibly and deeply into the wound ; but, though he turned the finger round in every direction, no bullet could be de tected, sho wing that M. Nelaton was mistaken in sup posing that he felt the ball within an inch of the orifice of the wound—in fact, the bullet has never yet been felt by any one, nor has it s presence an d whereabouts been determined by actual demonstra tion. M. Pirogoff thought that the ball might be lodged deeply in the lower joint of the greater and lesser bones of the leg (the inferior tibio fibular ar ticulation), and he based this opinion on the greater width (three-quarters of an inch, measured by a pair of callipers) between the ankles of the sound and of the unsound foot ; but the puffy condition (oedema) of the parts about the joint, caused probably by the severe examination of the 29th, accounted to my mind for the difference, and the most careful examination and pressure with the fingers in various situations about the articulation failed to detect any hard substance, or to indicate the pre sence of matter, nor could any matter be extruded from the wound by pressure at the supposed site of the projectile. Up to the present time therefore (though it would be presumptuous of me to declare the impossibility of the bullet being in the leg), I see no reason to change my first opinion, agreeing as it did with the result of M. Porta's examination on the 4th of September, only six days after the injury, and confirmed as it was by M. Zanetti, of Florence, at our consultation on September 10th, viz., that there is no present evidence of the ball having lodged in the wound. It must be borne in mind that the shot was a large, obtusely-conical rifle bullet, weighing more than an ounce, fired ob liquely from below, and in front, at a distance of only 150 or 200 paces, which penetrated trousers, boot, and stocking, and broke off by an obliquely transverse, linear fracture, the internal ankle bone, but without smashing or comminuting it, though the fracture laid open, of necessity, the ankle joint. The bone discharged from the wound from time to time has been in the form of fine sand-like particles, and only once a fragment equal in size to that of half a pea came away. At present the joint is more swollen their when I saw it at varignano (probably the result of the examination of the 29th of which the general vividly complained). The foot, though otherwise in good position, is turned a little more inwards, owing, I believe, to the want of support from the broken off internal ankle. The joint is free from pain, inflexion, and extension. The Ge neral's health is excellent, and his face and expres sion unchanged ; his appetite, sleep, S:c., are also good ; in fact, he has little of the outward appearance of an invalid. The leg is suspended in a Salter's swing fracture-cradle, sent to him by his English friends, and he reposes on an invalid bed which I was commissioned to select and send out to him from England, upon which he was removed from Varignano to Spezzia, and which affords him the greatest comfort and ease. We found him at first in a confined room, with the windows fastened up ; but on the day I left Spezzia his removal was effected into a large and airy adjoining saloon. The General has been overwhelmed with visitors, whose intrusion, of necessity, greatly fatigued him, and I am sorry to say that our own countrymen and coun trywomen have been the most pertinacious intruders. I ventured, while at Spezzia, to suggest a plan for the exclusion of th ese self •indulgent and inconside rate pilgrims. l am h appy to hear by a letter re ceived from Spezzia yesterday, that some such mea sures have been adopted ; that visitors have been rigidly excluded, and that the General already be gins to feel the benefit of the greater quiet, and of the more airy room, and the improved appearance of the wounded ankle, and in more unbroken arid tranquil sleep. The General, however, suffers so much from rheumatic pains, and Spezzia at this season of the year is so damp and muggy, that his removal for the winter to a warm and dry climate is imperative. Dr. Pirogoff and I concurred in the opinion that amputation is uncalled for, that the wound should be simply and lightly dressed, and allowed, if it be so disposed, to heal. That if the bullut be really lodged in the wound it must be deeply seated, and that time will indicate its pre sence, and facilitate without injury its removal. Nothing can exceed the tender care and skilful dressing of his surgeons, who, with the General himself, received my visit with hearty pleasure and welcome, and who permitted the examinations of Dr. Pirogoff and myself with the utmost courtesy and kindness. In conclusion, I have only to reite rate my former opinion, that though the cure must needs be tedicus, yet that with rest, quiet, good air, &c., the case will do well, without loss of limb, and perhaps even without much impairment of the utility of the injured joint. Some under-clothing peculiarly adapted to relieve the rheumatic tendencies of the General, has been, at my suggestion, sent out to him by an English lady, and I trust has by this time arrived at Spezzia. have received i n f ormat i on b y a l et t er f r om Spezzia this evening (O ct. 8 ,) that t h e Gene ral feels hims elf desirous of open-air exercise, and for that purpose Colonel V ecc hi asks me to obta i n for him an invalid couch on wh ee l s, w hi c h I t rust his friends will enable me to sen d hi m.

Eighteen or twenty years have been comprised in theimere pub lication of the twenty substantial volumes consti- tuting this immense tribute of admiration to the genius of Napoleon. Since the issue, from the press in this country, of the first of these twenty volumes of the work in the form of a very carefully prepared and avowedly authorised translation—Thiers' His tory of the Consulate and Empire has had to pass through the hands of a succession of translators, and through the hands also, be it said, of a succession of publishers. D. Forbes Campbell was the name of the first of these translators, the name affixed to the first title-page. Volume I. being published under those auspices " with the sanction and ap proval of the author," in the March of 1845! The late Mr. Colburn being the original publisher, and so continuing to be, in fact, during the next lustre. Daring that first year—it is curious to note thus the jolting manner of the appearance of the work throughout (for, as with the English translation, so has it been with the French original—the two pub lications taking place throughout as nearly as possi ble simultaneously)—during that first year (1845) the first five volumes appeared. In the next year but one (1847) two more were issued—the sixth and seventh. Another year being skipped, in 1849 came forth the eighth, andin 1850 the ninth volume of 'Tiers' History. The next year, the year of the Hyde Park Exhibition (1851) witnessing the issue in sequence of the two following, that is the tenth and eleventh : the publisher's name then appearing for the first time differently, viz., as Colburn and Company. This being preliminary to the transfer ence of the late Mr. Colburn's business to the now well-known firm succeeding to it, the firm of Messrs. Hurst and Blackett. Five years, however, were now allowed to slip by, before, in 1856, volumes twelve and thirteen were published by Messrs, Willis and Sotheran. Into the hands of this firm the entire copyright then passed, and it is by the Messrs. Willis and Sotheran that the work has now been gradually completed. Two more volumes, sion : the fourteenth and fifteenth, appearing in 1857, and another, the sixteenth, in 1858. In 1860 the seventeenth was issued, " translated from the French," according to the title page, by some name less translator or translators.

Skimming but lightly over the sur face of the penultimate book (the 61st) relating to " The Second Abdication," as being (like the epoch or incident it describes) distractingly confused, all but bewildering even in its confusion-we pause by preference at that last scene of all in this "strange eventful" Tragedy-Epic-Melodrama the History of Napoleon Book the Sixty-second, and Last, it is marked--and the title of it is, simply " St. Helena." It is a chapter or book worthy of its theme. It is the noblest effusion of the genius, and eloquence, and patriotism, and scholarship of 11. Thiers. It is one of the grandest tributes ever yet offered to the immense and imperishable fame 7 1- of apoleon. He whose deathless repute as a Lawgiver, is attested to the recognition of all future times by the Code Napoleon. He whose Matchless glory as a Great Captain, has been asserted in burning words of admira tion by the chivalrous English Military His torian, Sir William Napier, who, at the close of his Annals of the Peninsular War, has declared Napoleon the Great to be comparable only to Hannibal,and second to none. In a series of contrasts as noble as any to be found among the wondrous parallels in Plutarch, M. Thiers has placed the fame and genius of Napoleon in juxtaposition successively with those of Caesar, of Alexander, of Hannibal, of Charlemagne. It is just, it is eloquent .—this majestic seYies of comparisons. Even we, as Englishmen, can now admit as much very readily— now that so many years have elapsed since this modern Caesar, Alexander, Hannibal, Charlemagne breathed his last as a state prisoner at Longwood. The recognition of Napoleon's vast genius an..d of his astonishing achievements can in no way deteriorate surely from our national renown, can only tend to signalise and to enhance it. For has not Englati.d inscribed upon her annals in characters of blood and. flame that she it was among the nations who pulled down this Colossus ? As an affecting specimen of M. Thiers' manner as &narrator, here are the historian's reflections when musing over the autopsy of Napoleon : The inspection of his body revnctealed several these wounds, som one very slight and three very di Of threo, was in his head, one on the ring finger of the left hand, and a third in the left thigh, the last a very deep wound r esulting from a bayonet thrust received at the siege of Toulon. Of these wounds the origin of the latter alone cart be historically ascertained. From the measures taken and the exact description made of the body, it appears that Na poleon was five feet two inches (French measure), the body well proportioned, the feet and hands remarkable for the regularity of their form, the shoulders wide, the chest well developed, the neck a little short, but bearing firraly and erect, the largest and best formed head ever submitted to the investigations of science, and a countenance whose beauty even death respected, of which his contemporaries have preserved an ineffaceable remembrance, and of which posterity will say, when comparing it with busts from the antique, that it was one of the most beautiful that God had ever made to manifest the workings of genius. His life so pregnant in action, that it seems to comprise centuries, did not last more than 52 years. MM. de Montholon and Mar chand dressed him in the uniform he preferred, that of the Chasseurs of the Guard, and placed upon his puissant head the little hat he was accustomed to wear. A single pries and a few friends prayed for some days beside his inan imate body. What a wonderful lesson (conformable to the termi nation of his career) was presented by the profound solitude that surrotmded the death-bed of the man that the universe had looked up to and flattered I To the honour of soldiers it must be recorded, that as long as his coffin remained open, the English troops defiled around. When, at last, the tomb that was to receive him was completed, and which was situate near the fountain whose waters had afforded him some relief, his friends, followed by the Governor, the staff of the island, the soldiers of the garrison, and the mar rines of the naval squadron, bore him to the spot where he was to repose until, when, in accordance_ with his wishes, he was transported to the banks of the Seine. The English sol diers fired a salute of cannon over his inanimate body, and his companions in exile, having knelt for a while beside the tomb that had just received the remains of the greatest mats the world had seen since Caesar and Charlemagne, prepared to return to Europe. As a concluding lesson to the many that may be derived from this tomb, we must add that the exiles from St. Helena were received with general interest even in England, whilst the unfortunate Hudson Lowe, who was merely the instrument of his Government, was met with coldness by his countrymen, with ingratitude by the Ministers he had obeyed, and with embarrassment by his very friends 1 Eternal justice of Providence revealing itself here below I At St. Helena Napoleon expiated the misery he had caused the world, and those to whom it was allotted to punish him had to expiate the disrespect they had shown to glory and genius Yet more affecting, in another sense, is the reflection, or rather, as M. Thiers himself calls it, the cry with which the whole work is thus brought to a conclu- " The life of this great man, so instructive for soldiers, rulers, and politicians, contains a lesson also for citizens. It teaches them that they ought never to abandon their coun try to the power of one man, no matter who he may be, no matter under what circumstances. This is the cry that springs from my heart, the sincere wish I utter, as I con chide this long history of our triumphs and our reverses, and which I hope will penetrate the heart of every French man, and persuade him never to sacrifice his liberty, nor run the risk of doing so, by abusing it." When inscribing those words at the close of his Great History of the Consulate and Empire of France under Napoleon—as a sculptor with chisel_ and mallet graves his name upon the pediment of a colossal statue he himself is conscious of being his masterpiece—M. Thiers here affixes more than his name—he affixes indelibly the brand of his political principles, amounting in their intensity almost to a passion, to the life of his life—affixes the brand of hie political principles, epitomised in that one Cry for Liberty—at the close of his luminous as well as voluminous annals of the Rise and Fall, the Life and Death, the Glory and Genius of the Great Napoleon. ANCIEN7 STREET PAGEANTS ON LORD MAYOR'S DAY. The Drapers, at Sir Robert Clayton's show in 1679, diversified their pageant with allegorical re presentations of the twelve months of the year. They were displayed in front of a moving stage, symbolising the mystery of a Golden Ram, " backed by a pretty rider, being a beautiful boy, with such features, complexion, and symmetry of limbs, that he might have prevailed with Medea, as far as . Jason did, when he obtained the golden fleece." A shepherdess, richly habited, bearing in one hand a gilded crook, and in the other the City banner, made an appropriate speech to the Lord Mayor. The concluding pageant exhibited a landscape of Salisbury-plain, where shepherds were feeding and folding their flocks; and for the Drapers' delight, here were several trades met together, all pertinent for making of cloth—as carders, dyers, spinners, woolcombers, shearers, dressers, frillers, and wea vers, which were not without order, because the excellence of the scene " did consist in confusion." 4i They could not work in their distinct arts, yet they had assembled to rejoice in dancing, piping, and singing, to pay their compliments to the new Lord Mayor, and service to the Worshipful Drapers' Company. 1699. Sir John Levett, Haberdasher and Mayor, amongst other costly displays, had a stately chariot, all enriched with embossed work of silver, driven upon four golden catherine wheels, in which was seated St. Catherine, patroness of the honourable company. It was drawn by two large Indian goats, argent—being the supporters of the Company. h a atte stage,rs, tappers, p representing a n d Then followed a scenic pageant called" The Factory of Commerce," consisting of shops—as.milliners, hosiers, other branches of the haberdashery trade. As the Lord Mayor made his speech, " Commerce descended to a rich throne and replied to him." As the pageant went by, several papers of tobacco were given amongst the people. 1694. The Clothworkers' pageant represented London in allegory, which changed to the Garden of the Hesperides with Jason and the Golden Fleece. Then came the chariot of Apollo, drawn by golden griffins, the Company's supporters, and while Apollo addressed the Lord Mayor, " a rich figure of a rising sun, above ten feet in diameter, appeared at the back of the car with all his beams displayed in gold." The " trade pageant" expressed the whole art and mystery of the Clothworkers, the chief figure being Jack of Newbury, a famous Berkshire clothier. 1702. The Vintners, at Sir Samuel Dashwood's show, set forth their patron saint, St. Martin, " on a stately white steed, richly plumed and capari soned, himself splendidly armed cap-a-pie, having a large mantle of scarlet, who was followed by cripples and beggars seeking charity, and twenty satyrs dancing before him with tambors, a great escort with music, ten old Roman lictors in silver head-pieces, with axes and fusces, came to St. Paul's-churchyard, and there standing still, the saint cut his mantle in pieces with his sword and gave each mendicant a part." The author of this pageant speaks of it as a resurrection of the splendour which formerly shined forth at the City fest ival, but had now almost " dropt into oblivion." —C ity Press. ic x : , will, after leaving Gibraltar, pro. w h ic h, .until further orders, will be the The Channel squadron, under the orders of Rear.
