ESICELL'S INVENTION (Royal Seal granted 17th July, 1860), Sets or partial Sets of Teeth, exquisitely enamelled to nature, are made and fitted in a few hours by means of his patented soft elastic and imperishable base of the colour of the gum, to which it ad heres with wonderful tenacity, dispensing with springs or Unsightly fastenings, and defying detection by the cloeest Observer. The peculiar attribute of Mr. Eskell's invention is, the readiness with which these teeth can be re-adapted to any change of the mouth (even by the wearer); and as they act independently of all disturbing oauses which affect teeth of ordinary construction, they are guaranteed ti last a life time, as well as for mastication and articulation.

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 was 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 chrysanthemuni 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 cry sant hemum society is at an end." Why should that be? But suppose that is the case; 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 in revive; but if in the did end no t e t o h m e e se u a p so to n i p t rod s f v o e r a o r b s a t d a n o d n o e r , as d, a nd I h B a 6 v o i , n i g t 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 c oar h fe r u y nu s io a tt n yg themu m only, let the energies of the pro moters be best owe d i n es t a bli s hi n g societies for mutual improvement among gardeners, giving the chrysanthemum a s l arge a pl ace as p os ibl e i n their pro gramme.arThenomwo on!r g s o f you e onh have or yf othe co-operation n t h e sameni n craft, ; t of e r there thoughi s many a bond w theyh o may have very various tastes and be very differently occupied.lbannestead of a.few m ee ti ngs a t di s t an t in tervals, it wo u ld b e better to meet frequently ; and goodifth er is might some portion e o lackbe b ooiy of entertainment, m uc h rea l horticultural journals yfdaon and the o n simplebooks garde n ing of a an, reading en e articlesrat aloud unf from on o n ig class not h ort i cultur f horticultural. Gardeners seem to be too much given to the idea that when they meet they must of necessity talk about d qar ening. The more they can imp rove each other in the pursuit of their calling by mean s o f associating t ogether g ogether the better ; but it is sometimes pleasant and profitable to get out of one's customary groove, and give the mind an entire change of entertainment. One of the ancients talked about the pleasure of getting out of one's body to think.' The idea applies to mankind at large; we all want a change occasionally ; and we would as soon see a company of gardeners listening to a reading from a book of travels, his tory, general science, criticism, or humour, as Hs. toning to a lecture by Mr. Pomologus on the pro perties of a crop of pears gathered from a ft agstaff. "Change of occupation is rest," says a proverb. There is certainly no good reason to be found why those who meet in the first . instance to exhibit h _ ry continue their meetings santhemums should not co already interest the rest of the year , that the . awakened may be kept alive, and directed to some useful and agreeable purpose.--Gardeners' We e kl y [ Magazine and Floricultural Cabinet> The revival of the unfavourable reports respect ing the state of General Garibaldi's health and wound, even implying the necessity of amputation and an invitation from Dr. Ripen and his col leagues to attend a consultation of doctors for the 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 ale 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 en 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 have been. I saw the general on the 30th Gctober, the day of my arrival at Spezzia, where he occupied a suite of apartments on the first floor of the Marine Hotel. I was present at the afternoon dressing on that day, 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 Trench surgeon, examined th e wound with a prob?, and believed that he detected a hard substance, vhich he declared to be the ball, about an inch within its orifice. His recommenda tion was that the Pound should be enlarged gra dually, by means of tents of increasing size, by which he anticipated that in the course of five or six days the ball 3ould be readily removed by a pair of forceps. On the 29th Oct., at the consulta tion, the question if amputation was proposed, dis cussed, and happily rejected. At the same time M. Porta, the experienced and distinguished surgeon of Pavia, reade a searching examination with his little finger thrust forcibly and deeply into the wound ; but, though ho turned the finger round in every direction, no bullet could be de tected,ehowing that N. 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 its presence and whereabouts been determined by actual demonstra tion. M. Pirogoff :hought that the ball might be lodged deeply in the lower joint of the greater and lesser bones of the 'eg (the inferior tibio fibular ar ticulation), and he eased 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. Zenetti, of Florence, at our consultation on September 19th, 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 than 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, See.) are also good ; in f ac t, h e has little of the outwar d 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 Sp( zzia 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 d g ndul entand 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 az:d 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 bnllut 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, &e., the case will do well, without loss of limb, and perhaps even without much impairment of the u tility of the injured joint. Some under-clothing peculiarly adapted to relieve the rheumatic tendencies of the General, has been, at my suggestio n , sen t ou t t o him by an English lady , and I trust has by this time arrived at Spezzia. P.S.—I have received information by a letter from Spezzia this evening (Oct. 8,) that the Gene ral feels himself desirous of ope i-air exercise, and for that purpose Colonel Veechi asks me to obtain for him an invalid couch on wheels, which I trust his friends will enable me to send him. Th e tele intimates the G enera l' s re gram of tonight a lso moval to Pisa, the most favourable climate for him in Italy. Nov. 8, 1862: The Select Committee are now engaged in testing powder. A very large grain was adopted a short time since, but is now said to have damaged some of the Armst:7ng Mle•ftwilrtnY and Ga Zette4 One of the most remarkable of the great histora 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 Caesar 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. Why, 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 scarcely 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 an 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 volunticily 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 `l3iographers, 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 ve r y m an w h ose h an d sped it avit;i 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 outburst of scornful antithesis, that his imaginary enamorata, " either loved like cattle, or loved like seraphim." But—es 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 sh.'wering 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 recognised 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 in 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 rov rro of this warlike Archimedes, this great captain, this great lawgiver —exults in the mere retrospect, in the mere remem brance. When the marvellous fabricbuilt 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 remonstrane_ei of indignation —to put the fact in simple words , makes the best of it, so far as relates to the t e a can. and the generalship of his idol Napoleon. _ mo unt not but think that there has been an undue ido o f the of angry feeling manifested on this d point of view, channel in respect to the argumenta Thiers in explanation, from a French that immense of that immense disaster for France, Battle of Waterloo. triumph for the Allies, the e is narrative of the bat tle M.

Comment, correct, analyse, as befits the Critic who is upon the side of the Victors. Waterloo was ours---let us, therefore, conn the French narratives of Waterloo, even though I they be penned by the authoritative band of a Thiers, without a perpetual sneer of derision upon I our lips; but, in lieu of that, with an air (and a feeling at heart) of commiserative magnanimity. 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, is Lo rd shrink into insignificance. Macaulay, himself who there, in the particular pas sage we are referring to, comments upon the sufficiently comprehensible circumstance, that, ac cordingly as his work advanced, accordingly as he descended the stream of time, till he came within view of an epoch nearer to his own, naturally, in evitably he found his labours, in the way of research and investigation, increase and multiply. Piles upon piles of folios, of quartos, of octavos, pamphlets, broadsheets, journals, memoirs, autobio graphies, correspondence, state papers, littering the table, the chairs, the floor around the historian as he read and wrote, collecting his facts and col lating his authorities. 'What were mountains in this way to Lord Macaulay when dealing with the annals of William 111., are mole-hills to M. Thiers when doing the like by the era of Napoleon I. His survey extending geographically, moreover, over all Europe—into Africa—into Asia. His hero en tering in triumph as a conqueror, one after another, the great capitals of Christendom, advancing from Paris, to Milan, to Berlin, to Vienna, to Moscow*, to Madrid, to Cairo, to Alexandria. His investiga tions embracing within them the whole world of diplomacy, of war, of legislation. Statesmen and Warriors, Emperors and Kings grouping together as subsidiary figures around the central form of that One Man, the narrative of whose marvellous career the annalist has here undertaken. Eighteen or twenty years have been comprised in the i mere 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 tie 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 lifte Mr. Colburn being the original publisher, and so continuing to be, in fact, during the next lustre, During 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) t'he first five volumes appeared. In the next year but one (1847) two more were issued—the sixth and seventh. Another year buia s skipped, in 1840 came forth the eighth, and in 1850 the ninth volume of Thiers' 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, 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. Last year the eigh teenth and nineteenth volumes brought the History down to the Champ de Mai—the present year wit nessing its tardy but brilliant and, so far as Water 100 is concerned, we grieve to add, its singularly untruthful completion by the issue of this last volume, the twentieth. As affording the reader an instant notion of the arrangement of the narrative from first to last by M. Thiers, and of his skill in grouping the parts together as a symmetrical whole, we will here specify by name, in numerical order, the title of the Sixty-two Books into which this enthralling History of Napoleon has been subdi vided.

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 M. Thiers. It is one of the grandest tributes ever yet offered to the immense and imperishable fame i of Napoleon. He whose deathless Lawgiver, is attested to the recognitich future times by the - Code—Napoleon. lie matchless glory as a Great Captain, 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 Greet +o be comparable only to liansibel,and seeonl to node. 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 Cwsar, of Alexander, of Hannibal, of Charlemagne , This just, it is eloquent .—this majestic series of comparisons. Even we, as Englishmen, can now admit as mu .h very readily— now( that so many ytats hs.ve elapse-d since this modern Caesar, Alexander, Hannibal, Ch,:irlemsgne bi eathed his last as a state prisoner at Longwood. The recognition cif Napoleon's vast genius and of his astonishing achievemenb can in no way deteriorate surely from our national renown, can only tend to signalise and to enhance it. For ' has not England 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 a narrator, here are the historian's reflections when musing over the autopsy of Napoleon : Theinspegilon of his body revealed several wounds, some very sligh; and three very distinct. Of these three, one 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 wotind resulting from a bayonet thrust received at the siege of 'Toulon, Of these wounds the origin of the latter alone cart historically ascertained. From the measures taken and .the exact description made of the body, it appears that Na poleon was five feet two inches (FrenchaneasurO, the body well proportioned, the feet and hands remarkable for the regularity of their `form, the shoulders wide, the chmt well developed, the neck a little short, but bearing firmly 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 front 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 luard-and placed tipon - his puispcnt head the little hat he was accustomed to wear. A single pries and a few friends prayed for some days beside his inanimate body. What a wonderful lesson (conformable to the termi nation of his career) was presented by the profound solitude thatsurrounded the death-bed of the man that the universe had looked up to and flattered! 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 ma rines of the naval squadron, bore him to the spot where he was to repoie 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 man 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 I Eternal justice of Providence revealing itself here below! At St. Helena Napoleon expiated the misery he had caused the world, and those to whom it wag 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. yather, as M. Thiers himself calls it, the cry with which the whole work is thus brought to a conclu- sion : " 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 clude 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." Whon 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. ANCIENT 87.REET 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, hero 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." c, 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 eatherine wheels, in which was seated St. Catherine, patroness of the honourable company. It was drawn by two large Indian goats, argent—being the support ers of the Company. Than followed a scenic pageant called " The Fa c tory o f Commerce," consisting of a stage, representing shops—as milliners, hosiers, hatters, cappers, and other branches of the haberdashery trade. As the Lord Mayor made his speech, " to a rich throne and rep li e d to h several papers Cinio7nAerectehdeepsacegnedaendt went by, tobacco Clothworkers' owere given amongst the 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 a 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 I)ashwood'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 saiut cut his mantle in pieces with his sword and gave each mendicant a part."
