After them came the Second Brigade, headed by Lord Renelagh, who was cheered with a cordial cheer along the whole line, and seemed to enjoy it. The Inns of Court—or Devil's Own—received a speciai complimentary cheer, as did also the South Middlesex (Lord Ranelagh's Own)--the Victories, the Civil Service, the St. George's, the Artists', the 40th Middlesex, and some other corps, all forming part of the First Division. British Government. But the title to this security might be disputed, the church lands might be re sumed, and while the assertion of such a title might involve this country in conflict with other powers, and with Mexico itself, its abandonment might render us liable in an inconvenient degree to the claims of the British bondholders. The supple mentary article, signed at Mexico on the 12th of May, providing for the occupation of certain Mexican ports by British naval forces, is open in a greater degree to objections of the same nature. For these reasons her Majesty's Govern- , ment, while still intent upon obtaining redress from Mexico for British subjects, will decline to ratify the convention of Puebla and the supplementary ar ticle of Mexico of the 12th May. As you were not instructed to sign this convention, her Majesty's Government can refuse to ratify it without the smallest imputation of breach of faith. You are therefore instructed to inform General Doblado that her Majesty will not be advised to ratify the convention of Puebi.a of the 28th of April, or the supplementary article signed at Mexico on the 12th of May.—l am, &c., (Signed) ITNow ready, in 2 v o l s.

To have expected at Wimbledon, on Saturday, a vast assemblage of spectators, such as that which crowded together to witness the great historical review in Hyde.park two years ago, when 20,000 men were reviewed by her Majesty in person, sur rounded by her court, by foreign ambassadors, by both houses of Parliamont, by the elite of the aris tocracy, and the middle classes—and when some 800,000 people gazed upon a spectacle which had long been anticipated as one of great national im portance—would have been absurd. For in addi tion to the disparity of this review and that, in their national and more important aspect, there was this fact operating to the advantage of Hyde-park and the disadvantages of Wimbledon ; that while the one took place at a distance from the metropolis (and for the most part within an enclosed area, to which admission could be ob tained only by payment, the other was easy of access and freely open to all comers. Nevertheless, Wimbledon drew to itself a great concourse of people. It was known that the active operations of the review would not begin till five or six o'clock; but long before one the arrival of specta tors commenced, carriage after carriage succeeded, and horseman followed horseman, while two streams of pedestrians poured down from the Putney and Wimbledon railway stations, and long before a single volunteer corps had marched in, the iron hurdles and ropes which marked out the space reserved for the public were lined by specta tors several files:deep along their whole length, and behind these long rows of carriages, three, four, or five deep, stretched out, in an almost endless per spective. The grand stand, too, although not more than half filled—and from the admission charge more could hardly have been expected—had an effective appearance, and altogether, the attendance was greater than might have been anticipated, after the heavy rains of the night and frequent storms of the morning, which made the common in many parts unpleasantly damp and plashy. It is some what difficult to estimate the number of spectators present, as well as, in the absence of official returns, to compare it with that of last year ; but so far as eye and memory may be relied upon, the grand stand was occupied in both instances to about the same extent, while the number of carriages and spectators generally was considerably larger this year than last, Saturday's aggregate probably being from 20,000 to 25,000. It should be remarked here that last year everything tended to increase the particular attraction of the review, for the day was gloriously fine until after the commence ment of operations, which were preceded by the ceremony of the distribution of prizes by the Duke of Cambridge—a ceremony offering no mean attraction of its own, and which this year, as a separate and distinct feature of the Grand National Rifle contest, takes place at :the Crystal Palace. Those who wish to witness it must go to the Crystal Palace to-day. Possibly had it been com bined with the review, as was the case last year, the attendance at Wimbledon on Satur day might have been greater than it was. The vo lunteer corps first upon theground was the Ist Mid dlesex Artillery, which arrived about 4 o'clock, and was rapidly succeeded by the London Scottish, the 3d City of London, and others following each other as quickly as they could be brought down by railway, and marching at a quick step to the sound of military music. Some staff officers were among the first arrivals, but the Duke of Cambridge himself did not appear till about five o'clock, his arrival being intimated by the discharge of a cannon and the hoisting of the royal banner to the top of the flag-staff in front of the grand stand. His royal Highness was loudly cheered, and was speedily surrounded by a brilliant staff, including Major-Gen. :Sir R. Airey, K.C.8., Major-Gen. the Hon. Sir J. Y. Scarlett, K.C.B. ; Col. M'Murdo, Inspector-General of Volunteers ; Col. Erskine, Col. Luard, Col. Morris, Col. Manners, Col. Dick ; Capt. Bomer, Hampshire Light Horse ; Capt. Barnes, Ist Huntingdon Light Horse, &c. As the volunteer corps arrived, they were rapidly brigaded and placed in position ; but it was fully 6 o'clock before the last corps came upon the ground. About 10,000 rank and file had been expected, and probably over 9,000 were actually present. The Ist division, under Sir R. Airey, comprised two guns of the Horse Artillery and four guns of the Foot Artillery, and the let brigade of infantry also comprised the Hon. Artillery Company, under the Duke of Wellington, 400 strong. The 2d brigade was under the command of Lord Ranelagh, and consisted of the Inns of Court Rifles, under Lieut.-Col. Brewster, 350; South Middlesex (Lord Ranelagh's Own), 450; the North Middlesex, Lieut.-Col, Whitehead, 300; and the 26th Middle sex (Customs), under Lieut.-Col. Grey. The 3d brigade, commanded by Lord Colville, Col. of the Hon. Artillery Company, comprised the 2d City of London and 4th Middlesex (Lord Truro's) and Islington Rifles combined, 200 ; Victoria Rifles, 300 ; Ist Middlesex Engineers and Six Foot Guards united, 350 ; and 2d, Bth, and 9th -Tower Hamlets united 350 ; Ist battalion of Essex Rifles, 300 ; and the 46th Middlesex (Lieutenant-Colonel Sir John Shelley, Bart.) The fourth brigade was under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Lord Radstock, and wes com posed of the West Middlesex 300, the Ist Surrey, under Lieutenant-Colonel M'Donald, 400; the St. George's, under Lieutenant-Colonel Lindsay, 300 ; the Paddington, under Lieutenant-Colonel Wood, 200 ; the 20th Middlesex, Lieutenant-Colonel Bigge, 300. sth Brigade, under the Marquis of Donegal : The 4th and 6th Tower Hamlets, under Lieutenant Colonel Money. 300 ; the London Irish, under Major Verner, 250 ; the Civil Service, under Lord Bury, with two companies of the 38th Middlesex (Artists), under Captain Lewis, 400 ; and the 48th Middlesex, or Central London Rifle Rangers, of whom Sir. J. Y. Scarlett is colonel, 200. The Second Division, under Major-General Sir J. Yorke Scarlett, consisted of two 18-pounder guns of position with two others of smaller calibre, and two companies of the Ist Middlesex Artillery, altogether 200 men. Ist Brigade of Infantry, commanded by Lord Elcho :—The London Scottish, commanded by Major Sir D. Baird; the 37th Middlesex, 200; the 39th Middlesex, under the new Lieutenant-Colonel, Panton, 300 ; the 2d Administrative Battalion of Middlesex Rifles, Lieutenant-Colonel Wilkinson ; the 7th and 12th Battalion united, 209 ; Ist City of London Rifle Volunteer Brigade, under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Warde, 700 ; 3d London, under Major Richards, 350, and the 10th, 23d, and Ist and 2d Administrative Battalions of Surrey Rifles. Second Brigade, commanded by Lieut.-Colonel Lord Grosvenor, comprised the following regiments: —The Queen's (Westminster) 900 strong; the Ist Administrative Battalion of Tower Hamlets Rifles, 300 ; and the 19th Middlesex (or working Men's College) 400. There were some few other corps, but the names did not transpire. The Cavalry con sisted of Lord Truro's and the Ist Surrey Light Horse. About a quarter past six the crack of a few rifles in the distance indicated that the operations had commenced ; but to enable the reader to compre hend the movements which followed, it i s neces sary b r i e fl y to descr ib e th e groun d. South and east, Wi m bl edon-common is a d ea d l evel, undulat ing to the nor th an d billy to the west, with a deep ravine dividing it midway, running from north t o south, th e Ringston-ioad intersecting it at the north end o f t h e ravine, beyond w hi c h the ground rises considerably higher to the west than to the east, and falls away with a sharp inclination. The ravine itself i s clear of underwood at the bottom ; but on both sides, spre a di ng t o the very top, is a thick growth of f ern, furze, brambles, w i l d b riar, honeysuckle, and oa k scrub, varying from knee deep to breast high. Beyond this ravine are the butts used for rifle practice, and beyond the butts are fern and furze thickly intermingled. The second division, constituting the defending force, was posted with its right upon the well known windmill, at the back of the enclosure and close to the Kingston-road, where it extended across the ravine, reaching away between and in rear of the butts, till its left rested upon the Robin Hood-road. The line thus formed faced the west, and appeared to be strongly posted with two 18- pounder guns on either flank. The position of the attacking force, partly lost behind the hills, could not be quite so clearly defined; but it appeared to extend from the gravel-pits to the right of the Kingston-road ; and external to the enclosure, where its strength was densely massed as far as Coomb wood, beyond the butts, and parallel with the ex treme left of the second division. The defending force was strongly posted to the left, and in the centre they were comparatively weak to their ex treme right. Their left was first attacked from Coomb-wood, and the thunder of their 18-pounders, as well as a sharp fire of musketry, was at once turned in that direction, for the purpose of repel ling the attack. It soon appeared, however, that the attack was a mere feint, for suddenly their right was exposed to a galling fire from the infantry of the enemy as well as from his artillery, Gen. Airey having brought the whole of his guns to bear upon this point. The right wing of the 2d division en deavoured to hold their own, but the odds were too decidedlylagainst them. First their skirmishing parties were driven in; then battalion after batta lion fell back, till suddenly the foe charged ; the defenders retreated, and were hotly pursued; the gallant Devil's Own climbed over the wooden fence which runs along the Kingston-road, and com menced a well-directed fire upon the enemy across the ravine, while two of their guns were carried at a gallop round the extreme end of the ravine nor . therly, and planted on an advantageous position beyond. It was abundantly clear now that Sir R. Airey had cleverly turned Sir J. Scarlett's right, that the latter were receding, after so many recent examples across the Atlantic, for strategic reasons, and that he stood every chance of being defeated. Just at this moment a group of flashing uniforms was seen galloping over the crest of the hill beyond and down the ravine, which led to an impression upon the minds of many spectators that the officers of the 2d division were like the heroic 600 at Bala klava—rushing upon destruction. But the group galloped on and crossed the ravine, when it was found to be composed of the Duke of Cambridge and his able making their way from the field of battle beyond the hills to the plains of Wimbledon, upon which as yet no rifle had been fired. But its hour was coming, for as soon as the Inns of Court had scampered over the fence, they threw them selves among the brushwood on the east side of the ravine, from which they poured a continuous and deadly fire upon the retreating enemy, who in con sequence retreated farther still. Then came the gallant 2d City of London, the 2d South Middlesex, and other battalions in hot pursuit, till both sides of the ravine were filled with glancing heads ; rifles cracked is every direction, and small wreaths of smoke curled heavenward from the covert of a thousand brambles, or the sheltered screen of wild brier, while the artillery thundered on both sides; men and spectators alike grew excited, and every-, thing was as like as possible to the appearance of an actual battle fieldt with the happy exception that there were no wounds and no bloodshed. A non-commissioned officer belonging to one of the Middlesex corps, after giving the word to his men to "fire and look sharp," turned to us and said, " i This is just like Inkerman." "'What," we asked, " were you there ?" " Yes, I should think I was, and this ravine is just like it." "But not the battle," we said, "there were no blank cartridges at Inkerman." " No, indeed there were not," and he smiled sadly. " But still this is very much like Inkerman, only there the oak scrub was thicker, and came up to our chins." Having said this, he and his men rushed on to take a more advanced position, for the foe was sullenly falling back upon Wimbledon, driven in at all points ; but still, like brave men, tilt second division contested every inch of ground, mod fired rifle for rifle. The contest along the sideo of the ravine, which lasted for about half-an-hour, was strikingly and beautifully pic turesque, and there was, besides, so much of reality about it; nevertheless, no one on the grand stand could get a glimpse of it, nor probably did one twentieth partof the spectators get even an inkling of what was ring on in this direction, And, in truth, it required a little nerve, even for a gentleman of the:press "to mix in the melee," for although the cartridges were blank, the simultaneous dis charge of 500 or 600 rifles within a few yards was by no means nnsical to ears not accustomed to be deafened by ;Ile roar of the battle field, besides which inconvioience it was just possible that a cartridge might have wandered waywardly, or that some irascible officer might have regarded us as spies, ankhanied us over to the tender mercies of the provost-marshal. However we dared it all, and reaped our remard in witnessing the gallant exploit of the Devil's ()Iva and the South Middlesex. Following tIP movements of the contending armies, we found they/ at length both massed upon the level open common vithin the enclosure, so that the spec tators generally could now, for the first time, see all that passel instead of having their view limited to the smoke tom cannon and rifles, and some in. , distinct tracesof bodies of volunteers, either actu ally engaged or waiting for the moment to become so. Column lifter column of the retreating force debouched upon the plain, followed by the columns of the enemy,until two hostile lines were formed, extending free east to west, some three-quarters of a mile, with sttillery belching forth fire and smoke on the flanks,and a ceaseless fire of musketry along the whole extent, Sometimes they fired in file, the rifle flashes leaning from end to end of these long lines with an knintermittent rattle, while at other times a simultaneous volley lit up the interval be tween pursuers and pursued with one long pale flash of light, succeeded by a cloud of smoke and silence, till the crash of the heavy guns once more boomed over the field, shaking the whole atmos phere, and oinking the distant woods roar with its Putney, that a ey a and far off K ech ew oin a g na ti ß ll Wimbledon onit h d might have Pu great battle was in progress, the re su lt o f wh i c h m and might decide the destinies of a kingdom. The spec tacle as viewed from the grand stand was magnifi cent, and there were few spectators who were not sorry when the firing ceased, and when it was under stood that General Scarlett, despite his bravery and his skill, despite the strength of his original posi tion and the valour of his troops, had been over powered in thecontest, and compelled, for " stra tegic reasons," to retire to the village of Wimbledon. Not that the gallant commander of the second division had actually done so, for he was immedi ately afterwards employed in the task of marshall ing his brigades for the "marching past," which was to finish the review, and preparatory to which the Duke of Cambridge and his staff took up their position at the saluting post in front of the grand stand, where they were joined by Lord Radnor taunrdnitihige Earl of perceived f Cardigan' Here, t oo , t h e duke, that among the occu pants of the stand was the Duke of Magenta, to request whose company he forthwith despatched an aide-de-camp. The French marshal immediately proceeds to the spot, where he was cordially sa luted by the English Commander-in-Chief, amid the where h e rema ined cheers t o h f e t v h e pa% in companies at e wheeling distance. a n p te e e e r t s ato dl reled and At the head of the First DiVißioll came Sir R.

Y. Scarlett, the Artilleiy foHowing ; the First In fantry Brigade being led by Lord El c h o , w h o r ode a magnificent charger, which seemed more alive to the cheering than Lord Elcho himself ; for his lordship rode by stiff and stately, looking neither to the right nor to the left, but only forward, and with defiant mien as became so great a warrior. The London Scottish (Lord Elcho's Own) received an ovation, so did the Queen's Westminsters and the City of London, whilst the Ist Administrative Battalion (Tower Hamlets), the 19th Middlesex (or Working Men's College), and some other corps were loudly cheered for their firm compact appearance and regular step. Just before the last sections of the first division defiled the rain, which had so far held itself in sus pense, came down plentifully, and continued to do so till everything was over, so that the men got well drenched. There was a general outspreading of umbrellas among the spectators, and the Duke of Cambridge, who, remembering his experience at last year's review,had come provided, donned his military cloak and sat out the storm like a statue. The marching past, which commenced about half-past seven, finished at a quarter-past eight, and five minutes later his Royal Highness and suite were galloping over the heath, by a short cut towards Putney, in which direction, as well as towards Wimbledon, the road was speedily blocked by throngs of vehicles, strong bodies of volunteers, and hosts of spectators making the best of their way, amid wet and mud, to the railway stations. Here some little delay, which might pos sibly have been obviated, arose in some instances, but on the whole the arrangements for conveyance to town were perhaps as good and as regular as could be expected. We cannot conclude without remarking upon the excellent arrangements and good conduct of the police, 170 of whom have been encamped at Wim bledon throughout the past fortnight, under the control of Superintendents Walker and Butt, assisted by Inspectors Penfold, S. Fyfe, &c. ; nor without expressing a general approbation of the railway arrangements during the same period. NORWICH UNION LIFE INSURANCE SOCIETY.

AFFAIRS IN MEXICO. On Saturday about 40 pages of correspondence relating to Mexican affairs were issued from the Parliamentary printing-office. This correspondence includes letters from the British Minister at Madrid, respecting the proceedings of the Spanish Cabinet; communications from our representatives, diploma tic and naval, in Mexico, concerning the proceedings of the French ; a copy of the convention of Puebla, concluded but not ratified ; and letters from Lord Cowley, reporting the comments of the French Foreign Minister. M. Thouvenel acknowledged the right of England to conclude the convention, but expressed regret at the probable exercise of that right; and, on the ground of objections to some of its provisions, the British Government declined to. ratify the convention, Earl Russell expressing his pleasure that circumstances enabled us with honour to avoid that which would appear to widen the po litical separation between England and France with regard to Mexican affairs. The French Government manifested great satisfaction at this determination, and asked permission to announce it to the legisla tive body. Earl Russell replies that there is no objection to this, as doubtless the reason would at the same time be stated. What those reasons in detail are, and the present aspect of the question, will be gathered from the following despatch from the Foreign Minister to Sir Charles Wyke, with which the correspondence concludes : " Foreign-office, June 27, 1862.—Sir,—Her Ma jesty's Government have considered with great at tention your despatch of April 29, and the conven tion signed by you at Puebla on April 28, of which a copy was enclosed in your despatch. They hate also received a copy of the additional convention signed by you, by Commodore Dunlop, and General Doblado, at Mexico, on May 12, and enclosed in your despatch of the 11th ult. Her Majesty's Govern ment have no doubt that you and Commodore Dunlop were quite right in separating yourselves from the French after the declared intention of the French commanders to move their troops on Mexico, with a view to overthrow the government of the Presi dent of the Mexican republic. Had you consented to join in that movement, you would, in the opinion of her Majesty's Government, have acted in direct violation of the convention of London, and in con travention of those principles of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries upon which the foreign policy of her Majesty's Government is based. Her Majesty's Government are rejoiced to think that you have made it clear to the world that her Majesty's Government will not swerve from a policy which is so conducive to the maintenance of the principle of national independence. Nor can anyone deny that when you had thus regained your freedom of acting you were at liberty to negotiate a convention with the Mexican Government. There can be no doubt, indeed, that it is not only strictly the right, but it is also strictly the duty of the British Government to obtain for British subjects in Mexico reparation for the wrongs they have suffered, and compensation for the frauds and the robberies of which they have been the victims. But in seek ing to obtain this redress, the British Government are determined to abide by the principles they pro fess, the obligations they have contracted, and the great rules of policy by which the nation is guided. Viewed in this light, her Majesty's Government do not find that the convention of Puebla contravenes either the principle of non-intervention or the gene. ral engagement contained in the convention of October 31 r 1801, that the contracting partico should not by their action in Mexico seek any terri torial dominion or separate advantage for them selves. It only proposes to do that which England, France, and Spain desired to do jointly, and which, since the rupture of Orizaba we must all do separately, namely, to obtain redress for just com plaints. But when the convention is examined with a view to ascertain its conformity to the great rules of policy by which the British nation is guided, her Majesty's Government are not satisfied with some of its provisions. For instance, this convention recognises in a most inconvenient manner the probable conclusion of a treaty between Mexico and the United States, by which Mexico would obtain States a loan from the United States, and the a security for that loan in the vast wai eete Mexico. It has since appeared that.this treaty ite lande of o w ill not be be tween the United States and Mexico ratified, nor even be submitted t o the e dent enate of the e S . for the he Presi purpose of ratification by t United States. Her MolestYe ' G ov ernment under standw the Government that the ground the determination of the United States haveucoe which me to not to ratify this tre at y is, that by advancing money to a power a t war with France the United States ' ' n, wou ld aid one of th e belligerent parties. The same objection does n ot, indeed, a pply to G reat B rit a i n, convention were ratified we should because if the d of advanci ng money from M e xico instead withdraw money to Mexico. But the objection felt by h er Majesty's Government to the convention of Puebla i s that this c onvent ion with Mexico i s i n t erwoven with a nother treaty the p ro v i sions of which are not fully :known to her Majesty's Government, and w hich, if b r ought into operati on , m i g ht poss ibly affect the independence of Mexico. The conven tion which you have signed proceeds to provide that, in case the treaty with the United States should not be ratified, an:interest in the same pro perty in the Invite leads should be Tested in the • Kangaroo Land. By the Rev. A. Polehampton Bentley. As a narrative of what may be termed the expe rience of en unsuccessful emigrant, the volume be fore us is not only extremely interesting, but is likely to be of considerable use to those who, like the author, may think to better their condition by starting for a colony where hard labour is inevit able ; but who have neither been accustomed to that nor are masters of any handicraft on which to rely. It shows clearly that those who are wanted in rising colonies are the working classes, men who live by the sweat of the brow rather than of the brain, who can endure fatigue without in convenience, and have a legitimate and useful calling to exercise on their arrival. Such is the moral of the present narrative, in which the author tells a plain unvarnished tale of his struggles for exis tence while in Australia. Arriving at Sydney in 1852, when the gold fever was its height, he started at once for the Victoria diggings. Not meeting with much success there, he and his mate started for the Ovens diggings, but a dispute arising, he left them, and turned back. He thus describes LIFE IN THE BUSH• I passed the first night after leaving the river Goulbourn by myself in the bush. The weather was unusually hot, and the mosquitos were terribly annoying. As a protec tion against their attacks, I was obliged to cover myself, before trying to go to sleep, from head to foot in a thick horse rug. I was nearly suffocated, for I could not leave even my nose bare with impunity, and I was in a fever from the heat. My enemies were legion ; the very air seemed . made of them; and I could not make furtive at tempts to get a draught a fresher air than was to be had beneath the horse rug without inhaling them. Whenever I turned for relief from lying in one position, I could hear them buzzing in myriads from where they had settled on my rug, and in spite of all my precautions they would fre quently find some undefended point d'appui, forcing me to throw the rug off in despair, and shake it frenetically at them that they might not close in upon me before I had time to wrap myself up afresh. Thanks to the mosquitos I did not feel in the least conscious of my lonely situation in the bush that night—a night I shall never forget—it seemed so long, like five or six rolled into one ; and I cer tainly never descried the first signs of the morning with greater pleasure than when the mosquitos hied away, like evil spirits of the dark, and left me to slumber undisturbed. When I awoke the sun was high, and I felt almost done up ; however, I put on a good face on matters, and was re joiced to find, about half a mile further on, a creek of de liciously cool, clear water, where I performed my ablu tions, and breakfasted on devils on the coals" and bacon. I had heardly commenced my day's journey before I nearly stumbled over a guana, an animal of the lizard kind, about two feet long. Presently I came upon a strange-looking object, which at a little distance I took for a stump of a small tree, capped with an inverted tin dish, such as diggers use to wash out their gold in; but it turned out to be a man, Ni ho greeted me, after the fashion of the bush, with a " Good day, mate I" and, without further ceremony, rose and walked along with me. Like me, he had, accord ing to his own account, left his party, and had picked up th tin dish on the road, intending to return to work on the Bendigo ; between which and the Goulbourn I saw articles of various kinds that had been cast away on the road by overburdened diggers—enough to stock a small store. I was not much prepossessed with my companion's appearance—he was not unlike a monkey, his face almost entirely covered with hair, and he did not look so clean as he might even under the circumstances. Ho stuck to me all day, and all my efforts to get quietly rid of him were futile ; but in time I began to be reconciled to his company, especially as he saved me a great deal of trouble in finding water, in which he was an adept ; and at last, when we camped for the night, and got sociable over our tobacco and tea, we agreed to work on the Bendigo together. This same evening I found an enormous red ant, more than an inch long, and armed with a most formidable pair of nip pers, walking over me. I feared the nest might be near, and looked carefully for it, as it would have been no plea sant neighbourhood, but there were no other signs of one. There are a great many different species of ant in Austra lia, amongst others the pis -ant, very diminutive—as its name implies—but troublesome in an inverse proportion to its size, spoiling all eatables by the peculiarly disagreeable smell and taste imparted by its body. There is also the sugar-ant,so named from its particular weakness forsweets. I have noticed likewise a winged ant, its wings being ap parently mere ornamental appendages; no use whatever, that I could perceive, being made of them. It disengaged • its body from them on the slightest provocation, and with little or no effort. I have sometimes caught one of these ants by the wings, when it invariably left them behind, proceeding on its way with seeming unconcern; The en trances to their nests, for which they select decayed or fallen trees, are always scattered with countless wings. One of the most vindictive insects possible is a small black ant. I remember once sitting down unwittingly near a nest of these ants, and soon became aware of their proxi mity by quickly repeated nips all over my body, instantly followed by an intolerable though transient pain when the sting was inserted in the wound caused by the nippers. I literally tore off my clothes to get rid of my assailants. With his companion he once more tried his hand at gold-digging. " Our manner of living," he says, was of the roughest, as we had determined to be at as little expense as possible till we had hit upon gold. Our meat we toasted in slices on forked sticks, or threw it on the ashes to cook itself—black fellow fashion—but afterwards we manufactured a gridiron out of a piece of old hoop iron. Plates we had none, nor forks." But from overwork and sameness of diet he got out of health, was forced to give up gold-digging, and started for Melbourne, to look out for some kind of light employment , having on his arrival there exactly one shilling in his pocket. But the only occupation to be had was road-making, for which the wages were Io adaY The monotony of the employment, however, his ban a toge ther with the heat and dust, soon sickened hi of it, it, and he returned to Melbourne to try house painting, from which he was employment for a few dismissed after a day's trial, and he next g ot weeks at a stone quarry. he took to wood -cutting, and On c e thusm ogr fiveso u t hisof w ork , expe rience of ownte lifea ecouanta, LITITDE.

It is true that he is there surrounded by Nature in her sun niest aspect, perennial foliage, and bright skies • but it is in the silence of such scenes as this that the small voice" is most eloquent. Such solitude is a sort of holy ground, where I should imagine none that are greatly bur dened with sin dare remain alone for long; where man and his Maker speak as it were face to face, mere than any where else with Nature as one of the chief mediums of connounication ; where, in a manner, " the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead." (R o m, i. 20.) Never till I thus began to live by myself in the Bush did I experience the vastness of solitude—that shrinking up • of oneself into such infinitesimal smallness that one began to realize that half-mad state of mind, which some men are said to have undergone, of disbelieving in one's own identity. I can readily believe that those great religious impostors, who have from time to time sprung up, have actually, after a prolonged , solitude believed in some of the visions and apparitions which they professed to have seen ; and indeed we see by the Scriptures that bona fid e i nsp i r ed men, and . our Lord Himself, practi cally owned the desirableness of no t u nfrequent retire me nt. Possibly it was a necessity for he Prophets to live much alone, in order to keep up that • hty-wrought, intensified state of mind in which most highly - W r oug ht, of the Scripture prophecies appear to have been coniVrt_i, And for myself, though I have never been in the r e igi: oi r se eing visions, yet during my few weeks' coo Para the con tude there were moments when I felt as it were on a me seemed fines of two worlds,--when everything arourt- =real Weird-hike,. m aw = to which I was Ma.

'"n the Russian army, and certainly he had the appears. lee Id manners of a gentleman. He had landed in the • c ,9 l °n with a few hundred pounds which he s p ent in at a fi rs t- ra t e h o t e l while looking oat fc w r sou gentlem ,z nly employment, which he did not succeed in getting ; thou~~2i, in the m eanw hil e, h e was i mpru d en t enough to take to hint self a wife as 5t un ,if possible, for a nything like a rom.-h, colonial life . , as hilim e/f. He must, h owe ver, have ,‘ieen very sanguine man, t o r he continued, like the illusltaiov.s cawber, to hope something worthy of his expects tion 4 would turn up, till the honeymoon and his last pound ter- • miliated together, and he and his wife were constraine, to. quit their extravagant style of living. He took refuge in stone-breaking, and it was whi_let in this capacity that _I became acquainted with him. One wet night, when we were all snug in our blankets (sleets az e myths out of; Melbourne and the larger towns), the 1a ndlord became aware of a series of timid raps on l'he oor, on opening which, in walked Mr. and Mrs. I 4 n a bewildered manner, quite unaware that they had st uml ded by chance upon the right house, where, indeed, ths9y had been ex pected early in the day. The landlord was' n, of in the best humour at being roused from his slumbers, b tit the poor people were in such a sorry plight that it wag , hardly pos sible to be uncivil to them; and besides, their a PPearance suggested such a comical sense of unfitness for . . the stony occupation upon which they were to depend for a liveli hood, that the difficulty was to keep from laugh, l ng out right. The husband was not bi gg er than many a boy of thir teen and very slight , s o that it was hard to see how he was to knock a living out of the stones even for himself, much less for his wife too. It seemed probable that if hewovld not be able to say, with Shakspiare's Rrinee Arthur," My uncle's in these stones," he might be temp fed to exclaim that somebody else was. The wife was tall, slight, and very pale an d' delicate looking, dressed in a whitish Indian muslin, fw.s.,hionably - cut, and a white sun-bonnet ; altoget her, rather ghost like. Her dress had a draggled appearan ce, as well it ot be might, considering that they had lost their w a y , C C nighted, and wandered into stone quarries , ditche3l tand ng other abominations. Her shoes were too fragile for an y .ti but a town pavement in fine weather; and, if I rementher rightly, she had lost one of them, the other having stuck in some "slough of despond." Such persons cannot called the "right people in the right places" in Australia,' The wife's custom was to sit on a sofa, making futile at tempts at sewing, while her husband made equally futile attempts to rap their bread and cheese out of the stones ; the result of which was, that after a few weeks they had to leave the place, greatly in arrears for board and lodging. The last I heard of them was, that they had both been turned away from a sheep station—whither he hod gone in the capacity of shepherd—as incorrigibly uselese. I felt really very sorry for them, though I could hardly look at them without laughing, such " impossible" kind of people were they for Australia. Lime burning, brick making, and 'wood cutting were again tried in turn ; he then became an un successful fisherman, and next took a spell at sheep washing. That over, reaping was resorted to, at first with scant success, and next he became atten dant on a threshing machine. But his troubles were at length over, he was enabled, though he does not explain how, to return to England, and winds up with the following observations on THE DIGNITY OF LABOUR. I feel that my sympathies have been enlarged. I have experienced what a labourer's life is ; I have felt that there is real dignity in labour of all kinds, that physical labour is very far from being incompatible with refinement of tast't and feeling. I cannot now look upon another as an infe rior in himself, because his conventional grade in society is lower, because his hands are rough and toil-stained. Real inferiority is often, of course, a concomitant lof a humble position in society; but a humble station is not the soil from which the inward inferiority of which I am speak ing springs; the soul must originally have been allowed to come down to the same level with the outward social posi tion. In point of wealth, outward rank and education, which wealth in a manuer brings'. there must always, in a. society such as ours, be social differences; but with a very small degree of education—such a 9 our labouring classes can generally afford, if they choose—there may always be that refinement of heart and soul that makes all men brothers, which all, whatever their rank, are constrained to respect, whether they will or no. The heart is the common lev el whet,© meet as brethren; and that is the level whereon, w henever I meet my fellow-men, I have learned, I trust, to meet them on equal terms. In conclusion, I need hardly say that, so far from having anything like a feeling of degradation, when I . speak of my labouring life in Australia, I feel conscious of having been raised by it to a higher level ; for in it I have le arned, I do believe, in a considerable measure to separate tinsel from reality ; to understand, without any republicieni, the true grounds upon which all men are equal. Of course, in saying this, I do not pretend to have made any discovery ; but it is one thing to know a thing practically, and another to believe it theoretically—the latter, if it go no further, is a mere cold abstraction, the former is a warm, Tiring reality. Reminiscences of the Bev. T. Hartwell florne Longman and Co. This little tribute to the memory of the Rev. Mr. Home, well known as the author of the " Introduc tion to the Critical Study and Knowledge of the Holy Scriptures," and from his connection for many years with the British Museum, has an introduction by the Rev. J. B. M'Cane, is edited by his daugh ter, and contains a brief account of the principal events in his career, together with a portion of his correspondence. He was born in 1780, in Chan cery-lane, where his father, who was the youngest son of a village tradesman at Eversley, in Hamp shire, resided as barrister's clerk. He first went to a dame-school at Eversley, but subsequently became a scholar of Christ's Hospital, being contemporary with S. T. Coleridge, who gave him priva te instruc tion in the vacation. When he was 13 his father died, leaving him the eldest of six orphans, and for eight years he was forced to toil as b a rrister's clerk. He lost no opportunity, however, of improving his mind, learned French in his leisure time, and began to translate and write for the publishers, his first work, produced in his twe ntieth year, being " A Brief View of the Necess it y and Truth of the Chris tian Revelation." I n 1803, at the time of Buona parte's threatened i nva sion, he became a volunteer, attended at Nelson's funeral, was present at the great review by George the Third, and had a per fect recolle ction of Rowland Hill's sermon to the Volunteers in the Surrey Chapel. "Th e serv i ce ingni Hundredth Psalm, and before began .9 on the f l o wing hymn, composed by Mr. the serm Hill for the occasion, was sung to the tune of " God Save the King": $$ come thou incarnate Word, Gird on Thy mighty sword, people bless Our pray er a tt end ; Come An and Thy give Thy word success,' Spirit of holiness, On us descend. 0, may Thy servant be Fill'd with sweet liberty, Clothed with power. Bid, Lord the dead a rias, By Thy almighty voice; May we in Thee rejoice, In this glad hour I" " The text was from Psalm xx. 7, B—' Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we will remem. bar the name of the Lord our God. They were brought low and fallen, but we are risen and stand upright.' The service was closed by singing another hymn, adapted to the national air ' Rule Bri tannia." Shortly after this he became clerk to Mr. Butterworth, through whom he became ac quainted with Dr. Adam Clarke, and was employed to make an index to the catalogue of the Harleian manuscripts in the British Museum. In 1818 he published his " Introduction to the Critical Study of the Bible," which led to his ordination by the Bishop of London in 1819, and appointment to the curacy of Christ Church, Nowgate-street. In 1821 he was engaged by the trustees of the British Museum to make a classed catalogue of the printed books, and his connection with the Library only ceased in 1860 on account of his failing health and advanced years. In 1 833 hew as appointed to the rectory of St. Edmund, in the City, which he held to the time of his death, in 1861 ; during which period he was indefatigable in attending to the duties of his incumbency, though he still found time for literary avoca tions.
