" The author of DreamlanP and Aletheia' has risen to a height so very close to the summit of genius, that he may be commiserated for his inability to grapple with the last peaks of its elevation. There Is abundance of talent, a delicate taste, an endless richness and diversity Of image, topic, and illusion : the landscape is most luxurious; and the mns'e of verse excellent."—Literary Budget. "Mr. Kent has undeniable merits—warm and high-toned feeling, a pleasant combination of grace a nd h umour , and no small power to individualise. ' Pope at Twickenham' is a cabinet picture. ' Marianne' will commend itself to all mothers by its gush of parental tenderness, and its acquaint ance with baby wiles and mysteries. Fructidoe shows what Dutch fidelity of word painting the author can master when he tries. tfis fruit is as vivid and well characterised as if Lance had painted it."—A_thenmum. "The charm of Mr. Kent's poetry, as it is the first condi tion of success to all poets, is that he is in sympathy with his subject and not only with himself ; that he is truly poet and not egotist. Bnt it is by no means his only merit. He is a mas ter of versification. The flow of his verse is smooth and me lodious, and enriched with a copious and ornate vocabulary. ' Shelley at Marlow' is a painting exquisitely delicate. The vision of Shelley with which Mr. Kent presents us is almost perfect. 'DREAMLAND is a work conceived in a noble spirit, and executed With scholarly taste, frequently with flashes of true poetic inspiration. ' The Dying Bridegroom' is distinguished by a genuine pathos, which leads us to be lieve that Mr. Kent would succeed eminently in some story of the affections."—The London Review. "Mr. Kent's poems come before the world with the advan tage, not only of an author's name, but of a name already agreeably and musically known in the metrical literature of the day. His `Aletheia' was very favourably received by the public, and has no doubt been the companion of many thoughtful readers who will gladly welcome another volume from his pen. A series of portraits drawn with true poetic sympathy and veneration, The best of all, we think, is that of Scott. There is something in the lines that will remind the reader of the chime of Scott's own verse."—John Bull. " Verses, many of them extremely tender and harmonious, and all indicating a mind carefully cultured and imbued with elegant tastes."—Daily News. "Poems of very considerable excellence. Fructidor 'is a very close and Vigorous word-painting of an orchard. Mr. Kent's volume is healthy and vigorous in sentiment, correct in composition, and contains many happy touches of true fancy, very gracefully expressed."—The "The pictures Mr, Kent makes are carefully drawn and effectively coloured. Ills work is on the whole in good taste. It possesses the undeniable, yet, in these days, rare merit of intelligibility, and is, moreover, very readable."—The Art- World. "We like some of Mr. Dent's minor poems even better than 'Dreamland.' lie is a real poet, unquestionably, and often Versifier with extreme felicity. Of his poetic power the ' Monody on Lord Strangford ' affords ample proof : while his capacity to make word-music is shown in The Morris Dance s.' "—The Press. "It was a conception worthy of a true poet to show the depth of his sympathy for the Great Masters of English Song, by dev..tinf, the outpourings of his Muse to their special illustration. There is not one of the ii,any pleturcri ln.ro onllook,tl V 1 Milt 13 not inn IvuL In an Its parts —whether we consider he sentiment by which it is inspired, the truth of the local colour, or the beauty of the setting. With a thorough appreciation of character, Mr. Kent combines an admirable descriptive power and a masterly command of most mellifluous verse, so that. while the mind is fully gratified, the senses—so to speak —are equally cbarmed."— Bentley's Miscellany.

There is a material difference between this work and many of those on foreign travel and adventure, which have of :ate years come before the public, inasmuch as the writer is not a mere destroyer of game, whose ambition, unsatisfied with the death o f th e hares and partridges of his native land, can only be satiated by that of the elephant, the tiger, or the boar; but one who, thinking that "the proper study of mankind is man," penetrated the pathless forests of Borneo, and made the acquaintance of some of the inland tribes, who never before had seen a white man's face. For this exploration, Mr. St. John's posi tion at the time, as Consul-General for Borneo, gave him unusual facilities. Still there was con siderable risk. The hobby of the " noble savage" of Borneo is not the collecting of books, snuff boxes, or pictures, but heads; and of the very unceremonious manner in which he helps himself to those trifles, without asking leave of the owners, there are some curious anecdotes scattered through the volumes. Read hunting and piracy were (and still are in some districts), as is well known, the amiable weaknesses of the natives, till Rajah Brooke settled among them, and roused them from this blissful state of existence, much to the in dignation of certain English philanthropists. Nevertheless, of their natural capacity the author speaks in favourable terms. What they want is security for life and property, and their progress then would be rapid. Indeed nothing, in its way, can be much more wonderful than the change wrought in esorno of the tribes by the influence of RaJah 13rooke—a char'ge ',emel t the very prompt succour they afforded him, on the occasion of the Chinese insurrection, proved to be perfectly genuine. A considerable part of Mr. St. John's work is taken, almost literally, from journals kept by him -on his expeditions, thus ensuring the utmost fidelity; and we will proceed to touch on some of the peculiarities of the tribes and country seen by him. The part of Borneo he ex plored was on the north-western coast, and the first tribes he visited were the Sea Dayaks. These, it seems, are the most numerous and warlike, as well as most intelligent of the Dayaks ; and the author considers there is a great prospect of their advance ment in civilisation. Boa constrictors infest this part of the country, though the size they attain does not seem to be excessive. The largest the author himself killed measured 14 feet, and the largest skin he measured was 26 feet in length. Pork is the dainty these reptiles love, and some times " not wisely but too well." Thus, " a boa one night got into a closely-latticed place under a Dayak house, and finding it could not drag away a pig which it had killed there, on account of the wooden bars, swallowed the beast on the spot. In the morning the owner was astonished to find the new occupant of the sty ; but, as the reptile was gorged, he had no difficulty in destroy ing it. Its body was brought to Sarawak and measured by Mr. Ruppell, when it was found to be 19 feet in length." The wild pig does not always gracefully submit to the embraces of its constrictor friend. " I one day," says the author, " came upon a spot where ground was torn up for a circle of eight or nine feet, and the branches around were broken. The boar, however, had evi dently succumbed, as we could trace with ease the course it had been dragged through the jungle. We followed a little distance, but evidently no one was very anxious in pursuit. I knew the animal killed on this occasion to be a boar, from finding his broken tusk half buried in the ground." Alli gators also invest the rivers with interest, the forests swarm with leeches, and food seems often very difficult to be procured. Thus travelling in Bor neo is not all pleasure. Among the Sea Dyaks the Sakarang tribe appears to advantage. Their wo men are "the handsomest among the Dayaks of Borneo; they have good figures, light and elastic; with well formed busts and very interesting, even pretty faces ; with skin of so light a brown as to be almost yellow, yet a very healthy looking yel low, with bright dark eyes and long glistening black hair." Whilst the men " are clean built, up right in their gait, and of a very independent bear ing," as well as remarkable for their strength and activity. Their stature, however, is short, five feet three being the average. The Kanowit Dayaks, however, aro by no means so ineposessing. Cri noline is as yet unknown, but the women extract their eyelashes, and "draw down the lobes of their ears to their shoulders by means of heavy lead ear rings." The following is a sample of Tim AMENITIES OF SAVAGE LIFE. " One afternoon, it being a very warm day, we wer e re clining on our mats, when a burst of wailing and howling around us told that bad news had been received. One of the chief's brothers had returned from the interior and brought the following intelligence :—lt appeared that about two years and a half ago a younger brother, longing to see the world,had started off to the sources of the Kapuasriver, which ultimately falls into the sea at Pontianah, a Dutch settlement, taking with him 13 young men. He travelled on till ho reached a Mayan tribe with whom his people were friends, and stayed with them for a few months. One day their hosts started on a head hunting expedition, and invited some of their guests to accompany them. The lat ter never returned, having all been killed by the Kayans themselves, why or wherefore it is impossible to tell, but it is supposed that having failed in their head hunt, and being ashamed to return to their women without these trophies, they had fallen upon their guests • their remaining com panions being in a neighbouring village escaped." It seems that a custom formerly prevailed in this tribe, when a death occurred in a family, for the head of it to sally out and unburden his "o'er fraught heart," by killing the first person he met, " even if it were a brother ;" but this practice is now abolished. Their chief offensive weapon is the blow-pipe, some seven or eight feet long; the wounds inflicted by which,with poisoned arrows, are deadly, Thus, Mr. Johnson, who was forced to attack the Kanowit tribe from their having mur dered two Englishmen, " lost thirty men by wounds from the poisoned arrows. He found the bodies of Dayaks, who had gone out as skirmishers, without a mark, beyond the simple puncture, where a drop of blood rested on the wound." The social life of the sea Dayaks presents some curious features. Thus they "spare the rod and spoil the child" upon principle. They "prefer male children, and the more mischievous and boisterous they are when young, the greater delight they afford tleeir parents. The observation "He is very wicked," is the greatest praise. They indulge them in everything, and at home give way to their caprices in an extraordinary manner." They are also very hospitable, and they show it by presenting their guests with " fish that emits a very high scent, or eggs of a very ancient date." At the marriage ceremony, " after the heads of the affianced have been knocked against each other three or four times, the bridegroom puts the prepared siri leaf and the cigar into the mouth of the bride, while she does the same to him, whom she thus acknowledges as her husbeno." "Light come, light go," says the proverb, and divorce is easy. " Many men and women have been married seven or eight times before they find the partner with whom they desire to spend the rest of their lives." Still, even here, jealousy is not unknown. If a married man "be found flirting with another woman, the wife may inflict a severe thrashing on her, but only with sticks, while, if the offending woman have a husband, he may do the same to the man. To escape these domestic broils, he generally starts off into the jungle, and pretends to, or really does, go head hunting." They believe in one supreme God, also in good and evil spirits, and in omens, of which latter the principal is the "killing a pig and exa mining its heart, which is supposed to foretell events with the utmost certainty ;" but the follow ing seems to be their great ceremony : " A head feast consists in a general meeting of the tribe in the man's house who gives the entertainment. He pre pares for it two ei three months before it takes place, col lecting fish, fowls, eggs, plaintains, and other fruits, and in manufacturing an intoxicating drink from rice. When all these things are ready, poles are cut of various lengths, one for each of the heads that may be there to be rejoiced over ; there are also fantastically-shaped wooden birds, which undergo various evolutions in the house,and after the feast is over are placed on the top of the before-mentioned poles,with their heads turned in the direction of the enemies' country. The people, dressed in their best clothes, collect in the house and commence the feast by all the youthful portion of the community engaging in cock-fighting—real cock-fights, too often with very formidable steel spurs. They are very partial to this amusement, and will go far and pay much for a good bird, and will bet heavily on a well-known cock. " After some hours engaged in this amusement, they commence drinki ng a nd eating, a pert of the ceremony and th u e which does not entice the European stranger, nor can the peculiar smell increase his appetite. It is an extraordinary cayed fruit, rice of an colours and of rottenness , strong smelling fish, almost lnattioornna approaching or f io. o na o te d h — fi rnfogomwa joint sotian tte. roasted oeg g_s. with_ blackt he their feathersfrom age, d o e. n . rottenness and their drink having th e a which they mix pepper r arance and thickness t ot , cn t rot a s t , ts m a sickening effect duty thanbecaus u e p t o h n e p y tl r e e them andsh t o . h ßt e l i feoy t i n . es g wt r h e4 yi t o e N n v t . more as a extraneous matter it is not have added i any unpleasant, having something of the taste of spruce-beer." Head hunting appears to be a kind of passion with them. They say, "The white men read books, we hunt for heads instead." Still it is not all pro fit. A party on an excursion of this kind to one of TESTIMONIALS. " There is a eusto; — eJatinitnnong the Dayaks of the Batang Lupar which I have not heard of elsewhere. Beside one of the paths in the llndup district there are several heaps of sticks; and in other places of stones, called " tambun built," or lying heaps. Each heap is in remem brance of some man who has told a stupendous lie, - or dis gracefully failed in carrying out an engagement; and every passer-by takes a stick or a atone to add to the accumulation, saying at the time he does it, " For so-and-so's lying heap." It goes on for generations, until they sometimes forget who it was that told the lie • but, notwithstanding - that, they continue throwing the stone." Those supposed special interventions of Provi dence, to prove innocence or guilt, called ordeals, also find favour with them. Than, two lumps of salt of equal weight are placed in water, and that which melts first points out the guilt of the pos sessor, or two laud shells are placed in a plate and lemon juice squeezed over them, when "the one that moves first shows the guilt or innocence of the owner, according as they have settled previously whether motion or rest is to prove the case." There is also the ordeal of dipping the hand in boil ing water or oil; as well as of the two persons dip ping their heads under water, when guilt displays itself by shortness of breath. In these matters they seem to be on a par with the Europeans of the middle ages. The Land Dayaks, among whom the author next travelled have also some peculiari ties : NO ACCOUNTING FOR TAME. "We got a little respite while eating our dinner, but as soon as , we had finished we were agalit-surrounded ; the priestesses of the place were especially active, tying little bells round our wrists and ancles, and bringing rice for us to—how shall I explain it—in fact, for us to spit on, and this delectable morsel they swallowed. No sooner had these learned women been satisfied than parents brought their children, and insisted upon their being physicked in the same way, taking care to have a full share themselves. One horrid old woman actually came six times." --- That many of these tribes are by no means scrupu lous, the following will show SHARP PRACTICE. "A large party went on an expedition to the Island of Banguey, where they anchored opposite a village and com menced trading, being, they said, particularly anxious for tripang, or edible sea-slug. The fishermen dispersed in quest of this article, but had no sooner gone than the crews of the prahus landed, surprised the village, killed or drove away the few men that remained, and captured about twenty-eight women and children. This little incident was much talked of at the time, as they managed to seize a young bride, just decked out for a wedding, loaded with all the gold ornaments of the village. This young girl, con trary to their usual custom, was, it is said, put up to auction by her captors, as she was too valuable to be one man's share." In the remainder of the work we have an account of two ascents of the lofty mountain of Kina Balu ; of an expedition up the river Limbang ; of the kingdom of Borneo Proper; of Sarawak and its dependencies ; and of the Chinese in Borneo, to gether with details of the insurrection, and a dis quisition on the Roman Catholic and Protestant Missions. The author's remarks upon the latter are extreme:37 sensible, and are worthy of the cape cial attention of those whose calling it is to convert the heathen.

Sunsets and suns hi ne . By Erskine Neale, M.A Longman and Co. A great deal of interesting matter is contained in this book, relating more especially to the last hours of well known characters deceased within a comparatively recent period. From the notice of William Hone (author of the " Every Day Book," &c.), we extract the following anecdote, on the authority of a lady frien : TALLY d -HO " In the morning of October 6, 1.834, the Times was laid, as usual, on many a breakfast table, " Since dusk on the preceding evening the Houses of Parliament had been burnt down ; and lo I in the columns of the paper appeared an article historical, architectural, and antiquarian, respecting them. Sharing in the general excitement, and going out to hear and see, I met Mr. Hone. Recurring to the recent event, I told him of my astonish ment at the masterly article in the Times, extemporised as by magic. He coloured and smiled. ' You wrote it,' said I. "' I did : yoof aid uoC know that this morning we were all to have been turned into the street. I could not raise my reiit. I had tried every means I could think of in vain. I camp home weary and sad. I could not bear the sight of my family. One of my children ran in crying out, Oh I lather, the House of Commons is on fire; the coachman says he saw it. I went down immediately to the end of the lane to catch the coach on its return, for I saw my way clear if it were so. There the report was fully confirmed. I saw the smoke. Everybody was running off to tho fire, but I was not going to do that, I went home, called for tea, and candles, and plenty of coals, took down ' Stowe's Survey of London,' and my own books, the Every Day Book,' and the 'Table Book,' the only ones I had, and by six in the morning I had written the article you have seen. I went to the editor of the Times with it (he knows me very well), and 1 asked him, What will you give me for this ?' Ten guineas,' said he, ' and the same to-morrow and the next day for more of the same sort.' " " And so his rent was paid, and a little left in hand to go on with. It was said that the fire was caused by burning pieces of wood called ' Tallies.' Of these ho gave a history on one of the following days, e and ended the article , to the amazement of many, with he words, ' and now Tally-ho "Meeting him again that morning I naked what it meant. There was a mixture of archness and confusion in his countenance as he replied, To tell you the truth I don't know, but I was tired of the subject.' So were not t in quiring public, for letter after letter appeared in the Times what Tally-ho' meant, and what the writer's ob ject was in using that word. But the correspondents of the Times had it all their own way, for not a word more would Hone say about it." 2he Resources of Turkey. By J. Lewis Farley. Longman and - Co. Those who are interested in the commercial pro gress of Turkey, or who have financial relations with that country, will find this a very valuable work. The former official position of the author in Syria, and his having been Accountant-General of the Bank of Turkey in 1860 and 1861, peculiarly qualified him for the task he has undertaken ; and he appears to have been greatly assisted by her Majesty's Consuls throughout the Ottoman empire. The result is a very complete exposition of the re sources of the country, " considered with especial reference to the profitable investment of capital." Statistics of the trade of each principal town are given; and the appendix contains the treaties of commerce between Turkey and Great Britain of 1838 and 1861.

This is a series of twelve lectures, the first six of which were delivered at the South Kensington Museum, on " silk, wool, leather, bone, soap, waste, sponges and corals, shell fish, insects, furs, feathers, horns, hair, and animal perfumes." They are treated in a pleasant and popular style, convey a great amount of information, and are illustrated with numerous woodcuts. Shilling Edition of Standard Authors. Smith, Elder, and Co. The volumes now before us comprise "Lost and Won," " Hawksview," " Cousin Stella," " Florence Templar," and "Highland Lasses." They are very neatly got up, are well printed, and are capital volumes for railway reading. The Tralee Chamber of Commerce, consisting, with three exceptions, of Roman Catholics, have, by a large majority, negatived the proposition to drink the health of the Pope before the health of the Queen at their public dinners. A SCENE ON THE " SWEET WATERS."—On Fri day last a three-oared caique, containing a small party of Turkish ladies, attended by a black female slave, was row ing up from the Horn towards the scene of the day's al fresco enjoyment. Close behind them followed another calque with two Effendis, whose attentions soon became more marked than agreeable. Frequent efforts had been made to shake them off—by quick rowing, by slow row ing, and by indignant appeals to them to pass on. Bat all in vain; they continued to dog the unappreciative fair ones till the caique of the latter reached the landing-place up in the Valley. There, as if finally won over to civility, the black slave made signs to the amorous couple to ap proach. This they did, in the fond belief that they had at last made an impression, and were about to have at least a rendezvous; but, instead, of vouchsafing this, the black Abigail seized the boat•hook of her caique as they came alongside, and soundly belaboured both amidst the loud laughter of the crowding spectators before escape was possible. They finally beat a rapid retreat down the river, alternately hissed and laughed at till beyond th e woo d en bridge,—Levant Herald, May 14.

It is also reported that the Queen, 86, which had proceodcd to the Pincus from Corfu with he Hon. H. Elliot, is to come down here with the Duke of Saxe Coburg. The London, 86, Amphion, 36, Malacca, 17, and Gannet, 11, at prcs,-nt in Malta harbour, are all ready for sea, and expect to be sent up shortly to join the Admiral at Corfu. The Malacca will probably take up the next over land mail from Marseilles, due here on the 231 inst. - - We have news of the safe arrival at Tripoli of the little gunboat Growler, with Messrs. Gibson and Preece on board. She arrived there at 2 p.m. on the 19th inst., after a very rough passage from Malta of nearly four days. Major-Gen. Wood, C. 8., Major-Gen. Bates, Capt. Hudgeon, Mr. Fitz george, and Mrs. Wood, who had gone to Corfu in the Marlborough some weeks ago for a trip, returned by the Trident. The Italian corvette Tripoli, Capt. F. Caffiero, went out at 2 o'clock a.m. of the 17th ,nst., and returned into port on the following morn- ing. It is supposed the object of her short absence was to avoid any unpleasantness occurring during the excitement in conLection with the departure of the Maltese Bishop for Rome. Mr. Alcock, our Minister at Sapan._arrived to-any4n_ the _Valetta from Alexandria, on his way to England. There is also on board a Japanese envoy to the Embassy now in London. Mr. Alcock is on his way to Eng land. He leaves to-night in the same ship. The conversion of the Royal Sovereign to a shield ship, on Capt. Coles's principle, at Portsmouth, is progressing with great rapidity. Her timbers on each side, as far forward as the second bow port, have been cut down level with the lower deck beams, filled in between their ends, and a teak plank sheer, or sheer strake, 18in. by 17in. bolted on her sides fore and aft. This strake is rabitted, to receive the upper ends of the two layers of diago nal planking,with which it is intended to strengthen her frame under her armour-plates, extending 15ft. downward from her plank sheer. These layers of diagonal planking will be of 4in. and 3in. respec tively, and will, of course, be outside the original outer planking of the ship. On this diago nal planking will be hung the 5-in. armour plates that w ill protect the hull of the ship. All fastenings at the back of the armour plates will be of iron, but below the armour they will be of copper, as ordinarily used; The ship's stern frame is down, and will be replaced by one of:d very different construction, the exposed and weak stern of the three-decker being replaced in this instance by a" pink" stern, of comical form — the well for lifting the screw being abolished, and the rudder well housed and protected from an enemy's shot. Internally a dozen of the ship's lower deck beams are out of their position, and landed ; and the bolts of others in line with the intended po sition of the shield-towers are driven out, in readi ness for landing them also. The second tower, from forward, will rest upon the fore stokeholehatehway and the third tower must rest upon the engine-room hatchway, next the after part of the funnel. Any draught or ventilation required for engine-room and furnaces must of necessity pass through the towers. It is asserted by many that this arrangement will prove a serious drawback upon the efficiency of the ship when in action, as the down draught through the shield and towers will carry down the gases evolved by the burning of the powder when firing the guns, and probably extinguish the fires in the furnaces. We can give no opinion upon the matter ; but it is asserted by officers who were present in the attack of the allied fleets upon the sea deferces of SebastopGl, that a similar diffinnity was fully realised on that occasion, even with ships having a far better system of ventilation than the Royal So vereign can have as at present arranged. The Industry screw storeship, Master Commander C. J. Hodges, arrived at Portsmouth on Saturday from Rio Janeiro, whence she sailed on the 13th of February, calling in at Ascension on the 3d April, and at St. Vincent's on the 27th. The Curacoa, 31, screw frigate, Capt. A. Philli more, whose arrival at Spithead from the South East Coast of America was announced in Vie Sun of Saturday, sailed from Rio for England on the 30th March, and signalled the following vessels on her passage. On the 24th April, in lat 75 N, long 36 50W, the English ship Hamilton, and the French ship Commerce de Paris ; on the 12th May, in lat 37 39 N, long 37 3W, the English vessel Sarah Bridget; on the 15th, in lat 41 22 N, long 28 36 W, an Eng lish vessel showing 3d distinguishing pennant and No. 3,706. The Curacoa was officially inspected at Spithead on Saturday, and is ordered into Ports mouth to dismantle and be paid out of commission. The paddlewheel steamer Terrible, 22, 800-horse power, belonging to the steam reserve in the Med way, having been found in an exceedingly rotten and unsatisfactory condition, is now having her engines and machinery removed, preparatory to being fitted as a harbour ship. The following circular upon the prospects of American trade has just been published : " MANCHESTER, May 23. " Gentlemen, —Th steleA gravity of the American civil war has come st to be generally under stood, and we had hoped that we should not find it necessary to enter again into the political I mpeets of the cotton question. "For the first 10 months of the war the pre vailing ideas, sgainst which we contended in order to awaken our friends to a true estimate of the criti cal position of the cotton trade, and the necessity of procuring supplies elsewhere than from America — were, as regards one party, that the Northern people were not in earnest, that they had no military strength, that their system of finance would speedily break down, and that they would then cry out for peace; and, as regards the other party, that the resources of the North were so enormous, when com pared with those of the South, that the war could not last more than a very few months. Differing on every other point, the partisans of both sides in the contest agreed in this—that the war would by speedily over. 30 to 60 days were generally as signed to its termination, and the longest term granted was 90 days. Especially was it demon -strated to be entirely impossible that the North could support an expenditure of two, three, or four millions of dollars per day for a longer term, or make paper currency a legal tender, without driving gold to a fabulous premium, and the Government bonds to a proportionate discount ; and ' practical men,' who combated these views, relying upon the vast material resources, ingenuity, and force of will of twenty millions of Anglo-Saxons, were commi serated for their ignorance of the true principles of finance. " But a great deal has been learned during the past three months. It has at last been dis covered that the North is really in earnest. That the nation is staking its all upon the issue of this contest, bind that ' its all' means larger re sources than have ever before been actively em ployed in war by any Power. It has also been found that there was room in the country for the in crease of paper circulation authorised, and that the perfect unanimity and confidence of the people de feated those who speculated on a financial crisis, and carried United States stocks to a premium. Con siderable as was our own faith in the national re sources, we confess that, if we may judge by pre sent appearances, we under-estimated them. "At the same time it must be said for the Southerns, that, considering the enormous force brought against them, they have maintained their ground better than could have been anticipated. Had it been believed at the beginning of this struggle that they would have to contend against a force of 700,000 men, and an expenditure on the part of their enemies of two hundred million ster ling per annum, it could not have been supposed that 13 months after the commencement of the war they would still be encamped within 80 miles of the Federal capital. " Those who at the beginning of this struggle looked for a long contest relied not upon a presumed equality of the combatants in men, money, ships, or war material—not upon any presumption that the Southern leaders would be able to make a pro tracted stand at any point upon which the attack ing power of the North might be concentrated, but solely upon the physical difficulties in the way of overrunning, subduing, and governing when sub clued, a country of 800,000 square miles, occupied by a determined, bitterly hostile, and scattered popu lation. Large as the Federal army is, it would not give an average of one man per square mi:e of the country which it is proposed to occupy. This fact is well known to the Confederate leaders; and upon this, doubtless, is their ultimate reliance based. Their half-dozen ports therefore may, and very probably will, be occupied, including Richmond itself ; and some 300,000 of their people, chiefly consisting of women, children, and old meu be thus transferred from a condition of active to one of passive resistance to Federal authority and their ability to keep large armies supplied with munitions of war may be restricted within nar rower limits than heretofore. " All this may happen without affording the slightest prospect of the people laying down their arms, and either returning into a partnership they detest, or placing their country in the position of a conquered province. " We fear that the Federal occupation of the ports, though it may lead to a petty trade in the import of articles wanted in those markets, and possibly to the export of some small quantity of cotton held in the towns or the immediate neighbourhood thereof, will only the more hermetically seal the mass of the nation from intercourse with the outer world, and the more effectually tend to that disorganisation of trade in the interior which has already decided the planters to reduce to a bagatelle their production of cotton. It is not probable that the men who have ordered the burning of the cotton already at New Orleans will allow further supplies to be sent there; that the men who have destroyed their steamers to prevent their falling into the hands of their enemies will send down others loaded with cotton, trusting Ito the tender mercies of the same enemies. Nor, on the other hand, that the Federals will soon have suf ficient faith in the friendly and pacific tendencies of the inhabitants of the interior tow ns, villages, a n d 'river landings to trust trad in g steamers sailing under the stars and stripes to their hospitable pro tection when seeking cargoes of cotton. Until the Federal Government not only holds the ports by military force, but ',converts the people to a con tented acquiescence in that arrangement, and in the payment of duties according to the Mor rill Tariff, for the benefit of the Northern ex chequer, it is not very easy to see how a healthy ex change of commodities can spring up. Should steamers be found to carry their cotton, who will insure it against war risk on the rivers ! What fac tor will receive the cotton and compromise himself with the Confederate Government by entering into w hat they stigmatise as a traitorous t ra d e ? What articles or commodities will the Federal authorities allow to be sent into the interior to pay for cotton, while clothing and provisions of all kinds would probably be carried immediately to the rebel armies in the field ? If the Federal authorities enable the rebels' to exchange their cotton, which they do not want, for those articles so essential to the support of their armies , they I may protract the war indefi nitely. On every side the question is beset with unfathomable difficulties, and it is to be hoped that those who are engaged in procuring cotton from other countries will not relax their efforts in conse quence of recent events in America. " The downward progress of the stocks of Ame rican cotton since the highest point of last year is illustrated toughly by the following quarterly table, to which wo append the Liverpool quotation for middling New Orleans cotton at the respective dates : March,'6l June.

The vacuum caused by the non-receipt of the last crop is thus at last showing itself seriously, in spite of the great reduc tion in consumption which bas occurred here and elsewhere. At Havre the present stock is 42,000 bales, against 200,000 last year. " For so far it is to be regretted that th© high r e e , _ NEWSPAPER' • • zzi'l • e of prices which has' pre 131141051 1 #41..4 failed to attract an increase of ' 1 - w o ol 4. quarters. — a semis to have n-tre!_, by the large shipments of last year,. dWe ship ments to Europe from Jan. 1 till latest dates show a decrease of 100,000 bales, the figures being 251,000 bales against 351,000 last year. Hence, and Mora the large proportionate consumption of Surat cotton, the stock at Liverpool of this description, which on Jan. 1 last stood at 295,000 bales against 120,000 last year, is now reduced to 170,000 against 133,000 last year, while in the quantity afloat the figures are still more unfavourabic —viz., 184,000 bales against 258,000. " From Egypt, Brazil, &c., there is a large p(r centage of increase in the impart for so far tteis year; hut the positive increase is not sufficient he seriously felt in the trade. The figures are 159,00 0 bales against 97,000 last year. i c ,/ Iptn l oo ki ng to th e f u t ur e, it would bo vain to attn predictions of the course of prices. In the ?resent state of stock., any considerable &mond, such as the indications fronl the Indian and other markets would seem to point id, might E'9riouslY force up prices. On the other hand, further Fede ral successes, such as there is every reason to anti pate, or the arrival of even a very few bales of cotton from the South, would, with equal cer tainty,- at least temporarily depress them. Upon a broad view, however, of the enormous difficulties which stand in the way of any satisfactory reopen ing of the American sources of supply, and the long delays which must occur before the compli cated machinery of the trade is again re - adjusted, even if terms of peace were already agreed upon, the present'price of cotton cannot be considered un reasonably high. We are very respectfully yours. " NEILL BROTIORS." CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. PLYMOUTH, SATIIIIDAY.

On Saturday morning an inquiry was held at the London Hospital, by Mr. John Humphreys, the Middlesex coroner, touching the death of Anna Rush, a deaf and dumb girl, fifteen years of age► which occurred under circumstances which have led her parents to prefer a charge that she had been murdered. stated Mrs. Rush, the mother of d ecease d,the that on the night of last Saturday week h her daughter on an errand to 3 h ou se on the opposite side of the court in which she lived.

She was covered w ith shocking bruises all over the body, par ticularly on the left side.

There were several wit nesses who could corroborate her statement as to i the screams, and who could describe the girl's state. Mrs. Connor said that she heard piercing shrieks on the night in question, and soon afterwards saw deceased in a most deplorable condition. Witness I stated that she had not seen Mrs. Innis at all on that evening, and that the latter was in the habit of treating the unfortunate deceased usually with great kindness. There was, howver, a regular feud between the two families. Mrs.lnnis, having - re nixed the usuarcaution, said that she did not see deceased at all on the night in question. She heard her voice, and some scream ing, but there was a disturbance in the court at the time, and witness did not attach any importance to the matter. She never struck the deceased, but had often given her food. On the Monday wittiFss got a summons against Mrs. Rush for using abusive language, and then for the first time the charge was made that witness had murdered the deceased.
