If any educational proposal could demand the unhesitating assent of this country, and in the middle of this century, Mr. DILLWYN'S Bill has a right to it. The facts lie in the briefest compass. There are about 3,000 endowed schools in the kingdom, with an income of £1,500,000 per annum. The founders of a large proportion of these schools restricted them to no creed or sect, but many of them mentioned religion in general terms, in reference either to the instruction or the character of the teachers or trustees. Till lately it was the reasonable practice in such cases, not only to open the instruction freely to the children from all sects, but also to place some Noncomformists amongst the teachers, when there were such persons of suitable position in the neighbourhood, as a kind of guarantee that the catholicity of the school should be honourably maintained. This natural and desirable state of things has been put an end to by the bigotry, we are sorry to say it, of certain Churchmen, and -the unaccountable perversity of law. There is a grammar school at Ilminster founded by two worthy persons in the reign of EDWARD VI., the deeds of which provide that the trust shall be ad ministered by " GoD-fearing persons." For the last 150 years it has been supposed that Dissenters might be such persons, and the trustees have con sisted of Churchmen and Dissenters. The trust came before Sir John ROMILLY, who arranged that there should be twelve Churchmen andthree Dissen ters in the trust. An appeal was made against this arrangement, and it was set aside ; the Dis senters were removed as not being persons whom the law could acknowledge to be " GOD-fearing men !" However ludicrous this may appear, we are bound to suppose it to be good law ; most certainly the Judge's decision has made it the actual law of the land, and unless this new construction of the law be changed by statute, there will be a general ousting of all respectable Nonconformist trustees, and as a consequence, no doubt, the schools will be rendered, itt a too sectarian sense, Church schools, for the children of Dissenters to frequent them. Mr. DILL WYN's Bill, therefore, merely provides that where the founders of thesehool have inserted no sectarian limitations in their d ee d s , and where they have simply used such w or d s as religion, religious, or Godly, the trusts and schools shall be subject to no sectarian restrictions. That such words, indeed, shall be interpreted in law, as they are by every Eng lishman who is not a bigot of the narrowest mind.. Indeed, who amongst us knows the man who would maintain that the expression " religious" or " God fearing person," could re limited to pr o f essors of any one of the creeds which acknowledge a G od at all. As we have observed, it is not for us to criticise a final legal judgment ; it may be true that the law recognises no religion but that which it endows, and which is garnished with Church-rates and other honours ; that it knows of )ao " fear of GoD," but that which is expressed in the terms of the Common Prayer-book. It seems to us, however, in consistent in that case, to compel, a nd under penalties too, all kinds of Dissenters, even Jews, to appeal to GOD in courts of law—to appeal to a GOD whom the law says the man who takes the oath does not fear! Somewhat inconsistent too to have Acts of Parliament explicitly for the purpose of protecting these outsiders in a wor ship of their God which is unknown to law. The inconsistency of the law hoc vever -with itself is nothing to its inconsistency with the com mon-sense and Christian, charity of the country, and this inconsistency imperatively requires the enactment of a Bill such a s is proposed by Mr. DILLWYN. Those who oppose hi m w ill do well to remember that some of the best friends of educa tion have proposed to take possession of a Large portion of tal ese endowments, which are now Madly , • Li:l; ,- ;? •, '47 'AWN %••••••••,- y i( • ,‘ : 4 * .

THURSDAY, JULY 7, 1859. misapplied aid wasted, and, to supersede by the sum so raised, the fearfully increasing votes of public money for education. There can be little doubt that this must be done in due time, and we should think that a bigoted and factious opposition to the commonest dictates of justice will hasten some general measure of the kind ; for these old endow ments are national property. We know too well the strength of sectarian rancour to be surprised at anything it could do, yet we do wonder that any Churchmen shmild put themselves in such open antagonism to the improved and improving spirit of religious liberality as to oppose a bill like this. If it were proposed to nationalize any of the property which by law or usage had been restricted to the National Church, we might expect their opposition. In the present case it is merely asked that a hard decision of a Judge, on a technical point of law, shall not de prive a large class of Englishmen of advantages they have enjoyed without question for a couple of centuries, and these advantages Educational ones. The idea of going backwards in religious liberality seems, now, absurd. The minority of bigots who linger in the country have gained, un expectedly, a technical legal decision,.which will enable them to harass and dishonour respectable Dissenters, and enable them to act the part of com mon religious informers. But will the majority to- lerate this any longer ? The debate last night, however, sufficiently showed that no one dared openly advocate taking intolerant advantage of the form of the old deeds. The real difficulty was how to rectify the technical mode of interpreting the deeds in question without disturbing the general rules of evidence. To us it does not appear that a select committee is neces sary, though, except on the ground of delay, we have little objection to it. The vote of the house, some what perplexed as the true issue became known, did, however, affirm the principle of the bill in the face of a partial opposition from some members of the Government, and we trust we shall find that this evening Mr. DILLWYN will succeed in obtaining a committee, if one be appointed, which shall be no serious obstruction to the bill. The whole question of ancient endowments is, however, one which de serves impartial consideration. Mr. GLADSTONE'S first split with his colleagues in the division is worthy of notice. The Marylebone Election has again in a very signal manner evidenced the necessity of the Ballot. Although three candidates were in the field not more than 7,620 electors voted altogether. Lord FERMOY won easily—distancing both of his op- ponents, as the phrase is, in a canter. His lordship surpassed his antagonist Major LYON by a clear majority of I,9ol—and his other antagonist Colonel DICKSON by a clear majority of 3,136. The noble lord was even superior to them both together by a clear majority of 818—Colonel DICKSON numbering 1 at the close of the poll no more than 1,083 sup- porters, and Major LYON an aggregate of 2,318 whereas the victorious candidate the newly elected M.P. for Marylebone had polled as many as 4,219 altogether. Yet it must be acknowledged in spite of this apparent incentive to the enthusiasm of the Liberal electors of this vast metropolitan constituency—the unusual circumstance of there being as many as " three RICHARDS in the field"—a very small proportion of the registered voters actually availed themselves of their electoral privilege. Those registered electors, numbering altogether upwards of 21,000—in effect exactly 21,031—it is manifest at a glance, that while merely 7,620 in all availed themselves during this recent, contest of their command of the suffrage, as many as 13,411 abstained from taking any part whatever in the contest. In other words—to put the matter in general terms, yet more plainly—but a very little over one third of the actual constituency de cided between the three rival Liberal candidates. The successful one of the three—my Lord FER3IOY—is clearly, at the best,the choice but of a minority. A little more than a clear third of the registered electors took part in the contest—the result of which has been his lordship's signal triumph over Major LYON and Colonel DICKSON—one-third of the constituency being just 7,010, while, as we have seen, 7,620 went to the poll yesterday in unequal proportions of 1,083 for DICKSON, 2,318 for LYON, and 4,219 FERMOY. Supposing those 13,411 who did not vote at all yesterday—to :have voted and to have voted then for somebody else—that somebody else would have surpassed the aggregate of his three opponents by a clear majority of 5,791. Otherwise, to express the same fact—he would have exceeded the aggregate of the supporters of Lord FERMOY by a clear majority of 9,192 ! those of Major LYON by a clear majority of 11,093 ! !—those of Colonel DICKSON by a clear majority of no less than 12,328 !! ! Nor is the whole of the anomaly of the position occupied by this vast metropolitan constituency yet ex pressed when we have said even this ! The aggre gate of the population of Marylebone, numbering it should be remembered altogether, according to the last census,the:census:of 1851—(now fully eight years behind the actual reality)—but very little short of an enormous total of 400,000 souls—the census of 1851 giving exactly 370,957 as the pre cise population (then) of this same constituency of Marylebone ! By a reasonable calculation upon analogy, thereupon, from 10,000 to 20,000 male adults, whose names might, had they so pleased, have near e ly thedoubled the aggregate of those in scribed registry, have failed wholly and entirely to be thus enrolled upon the books of the constituency! From 10,000 to 20,000 men, who might have had the privilege of a vote, have abstained from authenticating that right, have refrained from securing to themselves that privilege ! And of the moiety of their fellows who have gone the length of enrolling their names upon the list of the actual constituency by registration, scarcely one-half can, under any circumstances, be brought to the poll in support of any number of rival candidates. Accordingly, as the registration now stands, half the entire number of voters now upon the books would yield a total of 10,519. Yet, as we have shown, there were no more than 7,620 altogether who voted yesterday for the three rival candidates, FERMOY, LYON, and DICKSON. Less, therefore, than half the actual constituency, about one ofMaryl e b one t a k es part in the selection of the quarter of the presumabl e (p ossible) constituency intricate problem of its Parliamentary representa tion. And the reason for all this apathy—is it not obvious ? Is it not as visible to the meanest capacity as the sun at noonday that the want of the protection of the Ballot, and that alone, causes more than 10,000 actual possessors of the franchise not to go to the poll—causes, moreover, that prior refrainment of from 10,000 to 20,000 additional householders from claimin g previously the right all d privilege of their registration ? So manifest, glaring is the truth discoverable under allthis, so we would willingly forego any nominal extension of the franchise at all, if we could but secure the far grander and far more requisite reform of the Ballot ! And we would do so for this one reason— that we are absolutely assured in our own mind that the acquisition of that one boon of the Ballot would result instantaneously in an enormous practical increase of the franchise throughout the whole THE' !SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY:.:`EVENING, JULY 7, 1859. population. It would bring into effect a vast num ber of votes now lying by utterly useless—votes now never given in at the polling booths, though carefully (and very idly) inscribed upon the books of registration. It would effect yet more than this in the way of virtually increasing the franchise forthwith —the acquisition of the }Egis of the Ballot would induce thousands, even, it may be said, hundreds of thousands, to register—who, without the Ballot, now never dream of registration. If our liberal reformers generally would but yield to the com mon-sense cry for— The Ballot ! The Ballot ! The Ballot ! there would be no need then for the after-cry, once raised by Sir ROBERT PEEL, of— Register ! Register ! Register! The undergraduates of Oxford have a pleasant knack of throwing up straws to show which way the wind blows upon the occasion of each anneal Enccenia or Commemoration of Founders and Bene factors to the University. There—under the roof of the Old Sheldonian Theatre—may be heard, audibly enough, as the day comes round, the opi nions and sentiments of the New Generation. There—as Bon Gualtier sings— "both our Young England's penny trumpet blow 1" Shrill and immature though the sound—it has its significance. In testimony of the truth of which it is only necessary to glance for a moment at some among the many salient points in yes terday's demonstration. Was it not signifi cant, for example, that Lord DERBY'S name was greeted (we quote the Palmerstonian organ, the Morning Post) " with a round of cheers that shook the very building !" Whereas (we are still quoting from the Morning Post), "by way of contrast, Lord PALMERSTON drew down a concussion of hisses and groans, but comparatively mild," (still the Morning Post) " to those which greeted the mention of Lord JOHN RUSSELL!' The once popular name, down there, of Mr. GLADSTONE ap pears to have elicited cheers from his supporters —cheers immediately drowned, however, by over powering groans from his opponents. Notwith standing the defeat recently experienced by the Marquis of CHANDOS in the last University Elec tion, Ms name was, on the contrary, welcomed as that of an undoubted favourite. A cordial greeting of admiration was -vouchsafed immediately upon the mention of the heroic GARIBALDI. There were groans for Mr. BRIGHT, groans for the Times newspaper, groans mingled with cheers for the Em peror NAPOLEON. There were cheers varying in cordiality for the Bishop of OXFORD for Dr. PUSEY, for Lord STANLEY, for Mr. HENLEY, for Mr. WALPOLE, for Sir JOHN PAXINGTON, and " especially" for Mr. DISRAELI—the honest anti- Derbyite organ, our contemporary the Post, adding frankly to this—" and loud and' long were the plaudits lavished on the late Chancellor of the Exchequer." As the straws flew hither and thither yesterday in the Sheldonian Theatre—even the ladies, the non-politicians there assembled, might readily enough obtain an inkling of the popularity or unpopularity of our public men, and obtain for the moment, and that, moreover, agreeably enough, the clearest insight into the " situation." THE NEW IRON STEAM RAM. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin, —Observing that several metropolitan journals have made descriptive allusionsolo the " steam ram" now in course of construction for the Government, will you allow me, through the medium of your valuable paper, to state a few facts in regard to a matter of so much public interest. Assuming a steam ram armed with guns of the heaviest calibre on the Armstrong principle and rendered shot proof and incombustible, we must now consider what effect such a vessel would have in overcoming the resistance of a powerful and intelligent enemy. The iron steam ram will prove a failure, unless used as an incendiary engine of war, as the object for which she is principally designed is that of crushing in the stern or quarter of an enemy by her beak, and is supposed to sink a line-of-battle ship in three minutes, or the whole of our fleet now in commission in one hour and a quarter, all the men on deck retiring to the stern to avoid injury from fall- ing spars. The peculiar shape will be concealed under the usual figurehead and forward gear, so that, apparently, the vessel will be an ordinary large-sized frigate. This at first sight may appear feasible ; but, on a little reflection, the absurdity of such a proposition will be apparent. In the first place, supposing the steam ram crushed in the stern of a ship-of-the line, how long would it take to extricate her bow ? which must be done before the ship can sink, the "ram" being entangled by the spars and gear of her opponent falling aft, and whose crew, to save them selves, would fly to the " ram," or throw themselves into the sea, and would be rescued, if possible, by the " ram's" boats, as it is the usage in naval warfare to save the crew of a sinking vessel, a usage that requires time and space. Secondly, allowing that she is extricated and preparing for another plunge, before she could get sufficient way on her (as she now attacks in her true colours), the crew of her adversary could construct a fender, out of hammocks — which is a material well suited for the purpose—and which would greatly modify if not altogether annihilate the blow. The advantages of such a vessel used as an incendiary engine of war would be asfollows :- Ist. She renders all timber vessels useless for war except as transports, which must trust to the highest degree of velocity for safety, as the steam ram would discharge my incendlary shells, setting fire to vessels and men, and, in fact, to everything combustible ; also producing a gas per ' nicious to life. 2nd. Such a vessel may enter or lay off a port with im punity, and throw into the town the above shells, rapidly destroying all combustible material, and rendering the town uninhabitable. _ 3rd. She would be admirably adapted for using my in cendiary compounds in attacking sea-face batteries, by enveloping them in a dense suffocating vapour, the attack ing vessels bearing down from windward and bringing their broadside guns to bear upon thQ works already ren dered untenable. J. MACINTOSH DRURY-LANE THEATRE. 4th. Such a vessel would be a fearful antagonist against a fleet of wooden three-deckers and ships of the line, run ning at them and discharging the inflammable material, instantaneously engulphing them in flames and an impene trable fog, speedily destroying life and material without any risk to the " ram." The war in Italy clearly demonstrates that strategetical generals and the point of the bayonet carry all before them. How long are we to continue the barbarous system of de stroying our enemies by mere mechanical effects, such as cutting, stabbing, maiming, or blowing them to pieces ? The agents of war that I would employ produce totally different and much more rapid and destructive effects. The objection raised on the score of humanity may be answered by the fact, that in proportion as the destructive power of warlike agents has been augmented the proportion of life lost has decreased, and the nearer we approach to that de- sired state—peace among nations. Incendiary shells, when exploded, scatter fragments of iron in all directions, with a shower of inflammable mate rial, which, falling on masses of cavalry and infantry, ignite spontaneously, causing their immediate disorganisa- tion and destruction. Fired into thickets, harbours, dockyards, cities, or fields of grass, the result is alike destructive and decisive.—l am Sir, yours truly, Last evening the performances at the above theatre were for the benefit of Mr. E. T. Smith, the lessee and manager, and the house was crowded to the ceiling. The entertain ment consisted of extracts from no less than eight different operas, and thus served to display at once the whole strength of the company. In the course of the evening Mr. Smith being unani mous ly ca ll e d for, he duly made his appearance on the stage, and addressed the audience with reference to his career, as l essee o f D ru rv-lane, during the last seven years, his just claims to public patronage, and the recent " Graziani trial," upon which he expatiated at considerable length, and with unsparing se verity upon hi s opponents. On the termination of his spe€ch Mr. E. 1. Smith was enthusiastically cheered. Lady Louisa Douglas Pennant's party for this evening is unavoidably postponed. The feeling of anxiety and gloom is announced to have incr eased in all the German cities.

Advices from Coire of to-day state that an ex press arrived yesterday evening at Tirano, from Bonino, with the news that a corps of from 3,000 to 3,500 Tyrolese Chasseurs had been threatening the Valteline, but that several columns of Garibaldi's and Cialdini's corps had repulsed them from Bonino, and driven them as far as the first canton- itra of the Stelvio Pass. The Austrians suffered considerable loss. General Garibaldi's loss was 10 severely wounded, and Cialdini's 3 killed and 4 wounded. Advices have also been received from Locarno up to yesterday, the sth inst.

FRANKFORT 0.M., JULY 6. It is stated that the proposals made by Prussia in the extraordinary sitting of the Fedoral Diet on the 4th inst were the following :- Ist, The junction of the 9th and 10th corps d'arinee to the Prussian army. 2d, The appointment to the command-in-6k of the four non-Prussian and non-Austrian Federa corps d'arniee. 3d, The placing of all reserve contingents in readiness to march. TRIESTE, JULY 7. According to advices from Athens to the 28th ultimo, legal proceedings have been taken against a secret political society at Messina, and arrests have also been made. Advices have also been received from Ancona to the 30th ult. General Calbermatten has taken the command of the town, and declared a state of siege. A general disarming has been ordered. COPENHAGEN, JULY 6. Government has replied as follows to a detailed demand of the Society Grossener (Society of Mer chants). Even if the contingent of Holstein be obliged to join in the war, the Danish Government will nevertheless maintain the neutrality of Den mark and Schleswig, to which resolution the great Powers have already agreed. Government aims at obtaining from the great Powers additional sanc tions to an uncontested neutrality. MARSEILLES, JULY 6. Advices have been received from Constantinople :o the 29th ult. The Divan has decided that reasons of State re quire the presence of the Sultan in Egypt, and he will therefore leave for that country immediately after the fetes of the Bairan. Great and magnifi cent preparations are being made for his journey. It is said that the Sultan will subsequently visit Candia, where the popular agitation has rendered fresh reinforcements necessary. In the Danubian Principalities the news of the victories gained by the allies has produced much enthusiasm among the people. The Porte is in fear of demonstrations in favour of a complete union. The last note has still more increased existing difficulties. France has merely accepted Prince Labanoff ad referendum as ambassador of Russia at Constantinople. According to letters from Persia, 60,000 Russians have been sent against Khiva via the Caspian Sea. Persia has given her assent to the expedition, the object of which is to reduce the Turcomans to sub- mission. well as all great international questions, shall be ' previously examined by a European congress, using every means in its power to prevent war. Was this admirable resolution put in practice before the Austrians sent their ultimatum and invaded Sar dinia ? Evidently not. England, however, sent Lord Cowley to Vienna, but without result. Prussia, a German power, kept aloof all the while. Russia alone scrupulously fulfilled her engagements, and proposed the meeting of a congress. All the powers agreed to it ; but Austria alone frustrated these efforts for the maintenance of peace, and began the war. All at once Prussia, mobilising an army of 300,000 men, would present her ultimatum to France ! But would not the latter be entitled to reply that the conditions of peace may and ought to be examined and propounded by all the great powers conjointly, not by Prussia alone, and that such an armed mediation, made by a single power, is equivalent to a declaration of war? An ulti matum resting on such grounds would be worse than the Austrian summons requiring uncondi tional disarmament. The English Ministry will most certainly not allow this new war to begin without first exhausting all the resources of per suasion. But when, to maintain the Austrian pos sessions in Italy, a German army of half a million of men shall be put in motion to attack France, can the Palmerston and Russell Cabinet remain indif ferent spectators of a new conflagration ? We, for our part, impatiently await the solution of this im portant question." LITERATURE. 77w. Ordeal of Richard Feverel. A History o Father and Son. 3 vols. By George Meredith Chapman and Hall. The title of this work is calculated to attrac attention. It has an air of originality and quaint ness about it, which the book itself, whatever its other faults and deficiencies, certainly carries out- Richard Feverel is the only son of Sir Austin Feveral, a country baronet of a very peculiar character. He is a philosopher sublimely superior to all human emotions or ebullitions of feeling, although he possesses warm affections, and is re presented as a good and pious man. He has pub lished a book of aphorisms, chiefly remarkable for their animadversions on womankind, and their edu cational theories for the proper development and training of man's higher qualities. His wife hav ing left him while his son was a child, he had the entire charge and superintendence of the young heir's education in his own hands, and to console his wounded feelings and disappointed life, he de- Ated himself entirely to it. He had resolved that his son should be brought up on an unvarying and philosophic system, according to his peculiar no tions of the Science of Human Nature. He checeked his own impulses, he restrained his parental feel ings, and the System became his one great idea, be fore which not only he himself, but all around him must bow. The system failed signally, as such deified and immovable systems often do. His son, who is a fine impetuous youth, more inclined to follow his own impulses than to listen to his father's philosophy, signalises his early days by setting fire to a farmer's ricks in a fit of boyish passion. Contriving by the help of his rela tives to get out of this difficulty, his next achieve ment, after the lapse of a few years, is to fall vio lently in love with the same farmer's neice, Lucy Desborough, while his father is absent in London searching for a model maiden to be edu cated as a suitable wife for his model son. Great is the confusion and trouble that ensue. The young lady is despatched to some distant relatives. Richard, after vainly endeavouring to follow her, falls ill, and is brought home by the calm philoso phic Sir Austin, who considers that now the foolish feelings of youth have spent themselves, and his son will become a rational being. After spending a dreary winter, Richard goes to London with an uncle, and there meets Lucy Desborough returning from her visit. He persuades her to consent to an immediate marriage, and employs a friend to break the disastrous news to Sir Austin. Sir Austin, grieved and disappointed, yet endea vours to preserve his philosophy. Meanwhile, the young couple retire to the Isle of Wight, where they remain for some time. A cousin of Richard's goes down to explore, and persuades the young wife that it will be better for Richard to meet his father alone. She agrees and insists on her hus band's leaving her for town to his great vexation. He does not return to her, but plunges in the vortex of London dissipation, and becomes mixed up with some very questionable characters. He is encouraged to continue his mad career by a plot between some other persons in the story. At last his wife is sought by an attached humble friend, and brought to London. Sir Austin also comes to the metropolis, but does not find his son so grateful for the forgiveness he is ready to extend as he expected. Richard requests him to receive his wife at Raynham, his country seat, but he declines to receive her without her husband. Richard, through the inci dentPl revelations of a death-bed, becomes struck with remorse and hurries to the Continent without seeing his wife. After Lucy has been staying some time with her friend, a judicious relative comes to London and escorts Richard's wife and son down to Raynham, taking the baronet by storm. He receives them kindly and they remain there, but the family troubles are not over. The penitent truant lingers abroad till the same relative sets off after him and persuades him to come home. All might be well, but he finds a letter in London which involves him in a duel, and after showing the eyes and grieving the hearts of his wife and father by coming and going like a shadow, he betakes himself to France where he gets wounded dangerously. The family circle rush after him, and poor Lucy, forbidden to see her husband, and quite worn out with grief and anxiety, sinks under this last blow and dies of brain fever. Richard is left lying on his bed of sickness, with dim and wavering intellect trying to picture the form of her he has lost. The moral of the story is un doubtedly good and true—that it is impossible to conduct education on cold systematic principles, and to carry out theoretical dogmas with mathe matical precision, and that it is always dan gerous to disregard the natural social tastes and curb the quick feeling of youth too tightly. Sir Austin's aphoristic system made a good many martyrs, even though he was a man of sense and experience, and sincerely loved his son. When we come to consider the manner in which t he ideais worked out, we cannot give the same c redit to the author. Setting aside the improbabilities of the plot, which are not too glaring, we object strongly to the freedom and even occasional c oarseness of the style. Without being hyper critical, and with due allowance to the author's w ish to carry outs ideas by lifelike representations, we o must consider hi Mount the lengthened scenes with Mrs. uncalled for and highly, objectionable. But even in domestic scenes and homely descriptions the author frequently offends hie read . er by a freedom of style which he m istakes for vigour. We have before observed a tendency to this in Mr. Mere dith's writings, but the subject he has now chosen has 'C n him gr eater scope, which he has avail e d himself of in a wa y that will displease many un fastidious readers. There are numbers of minor characters in the work, many of them sket c h e d with vigour . had the writer compressed his work into one volume, and omitted a good deal of philo sophy and lengthened conversation, besides refin ing and ton in g down his style, he would, we thi n k , have produce d a far superior work. However, as it is, it teaches its lesson and sketches its characters in broad colours, and we must hope that we shall have another work from the same hand more worthy of Mr. Meredith's undoubted ability. The iffe and Times of Daniel D e F oe. By Wm. Ch - adwick. J. Russell Smith, S o h o - square. This is a striking and remarkable book, and not less so from the abrupt and peculiar style i n w hi c h i t i s w ritten, than from the stirring time it t rea t s o f an d t h e e minent abilities of the subject of its memoirs. Daniel De Foe, whom Mr. Chadwick calls " one of Britain's greatest of geniuses," was born under the reign of the Merry Monarch, and survived Queen Anne a short period, thus living through all that stormy and contentious period that intervened between the death of Charles the Second and of Anne. The part he played in these struggles, and his bold defence of the popular cause are well known, but the incidents and events of his life needed a chronicler. Mr. Chadwick justly enough puts on his title-page, "The Life and Times of Daniel De Foe, with remarks digressive and discursive," for these remarks occupy a considerable portion of . ,the bo o k. W r i t i ng of that e p oc h of sectarian animositie s a n d angry pass i o ns, he mixes eagerly in the strife. aid makes frequent ccomparisons or applications of the state of affairs in our own day. His comments are not free from bitterness, and his style is somewhat eccentric ; nevertheless it is a workt that deserves attention, if only from its being the rec or d o f th e life of one who, in Mr. Chad wick's own words, was " a hosier, merchant, statesman, poet, philosopher, freetrader, novelist — in short, everything, from the desolate i s l an d of Juan Fernandez to a felon's cell in Newgate. Daniel lived neglected , and died in gaol—he died in 1731, and yet left that which is not exhausted in 1859, his opinions recorded during a long, tur- HUN GARY. Letters from Hungary state that the whole coun try is inundated with proclamations from Kossuth, in which he says : " Six days before the crtastrophe of Villagos, when Russia and treason forced the heroic Hun cea • rian people to lay down their glorious arms, I spoke to you for the last time. I have been silent during ten long and painful years. But, thank God! the moment has now come at which I can again raise my voice, and call the brave Magyar nation to arms to fight for the liberty of Hungary. That liberty succumbed on the 13th August, 1849, and in its fall it dragged down the liberty of all Europe. To reconquer it I shall soon reappear among you on the sacred soil of Hungary. I bring to you my two sons, whom the tiger Haynau (the precise Hunga rian epithet used is stronger than this, and cannot be translated), gorged with carnage, sent to me, not thinking for what work of vengeance I should bring them up." In his proclamation, Kossuth never speaks of Austria, but always of the House of Hapsburg. He declares that the expulsion of that dynasty is the mission of the Hungarian nation. He says that he shall be supported by a power which ten years ago replaced the House of Hapsburg on the throne, and that that power is now engaged in preparing its arms against the Hapsburgs. He then says : . " Rise, Magyars ! Sacrifice your crops ! Let them be trampled under foot to the last blade by your friends and your enemies ! I swear to you, by the God of the Magyars, that I will enrich your soil for a thousand years, whilst reconquering Hun garian liberty !" General Klapka has also issued a short proclama tion to the :Magyars, calling on them to take up arms and display the national colours. Among other things he says : " In the hand of the Magyar every scythe, as well as every musket, is a weapon. Assemble under my command, avenge all the Magyars who were assassinated by the Hapsburgs, especially the great Louis Bathiany, and reconquer the old Hun garian liberty !" FRANCE. PARIS, WEDNESDAY, PARIS BOURSE, July 6.—The market has been heavy, and prices are generally losder.

The Invalide Russe publishes another article on the war and its political complications. The fol• lowing is an extract : —"Prussia has called out an army of 300,000 men, which will be reinforced by a federal contingent of 150,000; and it is with such an enormous display of force that she proposes to offer her mediation to France to hasten the con clusion of a peace! But such an armed mediation constitutes a kind of ultimatum. If, therefore, the Emperor of the French does not accept the propo sitions of the'Berlin Cabinet—and it may happen that, notwithstanding his strong desire and modera tion, he will not be able to accept them—this army of 4,50,000 men is to enter France. Such a resolu tion does not appear to us over logical. In justi fying the mobilisation of her army, Prussia herself declares that since 18,56 it has been decided, in common accord ► by all the great Powers, that henceforth all misunderstandings and conflicts, as bulent, and industrious life." Whether these opinions have been set forth in the manner best calculated to display them, and best suited to a more temperate time, may be questioned ; but the work shows labour and research, and honesty of purpose, and consequently deserves respect. The New Apostles, or Irvingism. James Black- wood. This little work contains a very useful treatise on the history of Irvingism, its doctrines and prac tices, as set forth by Irvingites themselves. It is written with clearness, and with a moderation of tone which is not common in discussing the doc trines of opposing sects. Being forwarned is to be forearmed, according to the old proverb, and the author justly says that great numbers of those per sons who are attracted by the arguments and theories of these extreme sects are usually so led from their ignorance of the plain doctrines of Scrip ture. He, therefore, has thought that a treatise of this kind, setting plainly before them the doctrines ,of Irvingism, and the Scriptural arguments against them, may be useful in enabling some waverers to detect the errors and inconsistencies in the creed of " The New Apostles." There can be no doubt that his work is calculated to have that effect, and will be the more likely„ to command attention from the moderation, and absence of prejudice with which it explains its case. Those who are attracted by the pretensions of this faith, or who feel its dangers without being able to understand where its errors lie, will do well to peruse this little manual. The Poems of Heine, complete. Translated by Edgar Alfred Bowring. Longman. Mr. Bowring has previously offered to the Eng lish public his complete trunslations of the works of Goethe and Schiller ; he has now added another volume to the list by his translation of the works of Heinrich Heine, one of Germany's most popular modern poets. The favour with which his other versions were received by the public has encouraged him to make this attempt to give them for the first time a full translation of the works of Heinrich Heine. He has aimed in the first place at a close adherence to the original ; in the second 1 . . t the preservation of the original metres, which in Heine are unusually various. Notwithstanding these two worthy objects, we cannot say much for the intrinsic merit of the translations as poems; but a work of this kind is avowedly an under taking of the most arduous character, and a translator who can faithfully render the spirit and metre of the original into another tongue without losing its poetic qualities would be very rarely found. A brief sketch of the life of the poet is prefixed to the work and gives an interesting re view of his career and character. Colonial Zdministration of Great Britain. By Sydney Smith Bell, Barrister-at-law. Longman. This work enters upon the discussion of a great national question with freedom and fairness. The author, who is one of the judges of the Supreme Court of. the colony of the Cape of Good Hope, commenced an inquiry into the history and adminis tration of our colonial possessions from a desire to perfect his information respecting his sphere of duty. As he proceeded in his researches, however, startling convictions dawned upon him, and finding the inquiry increase in interest he committed the results of his labour to paper in the s year 1854. But at that time, and for a long subsequent period, the disturbed state of affairs, owing to the Crimean struggle, the Chinese war, and the Indian rebellion, prevented him from publishing his work. He thought it inexpedient during a time of national difficulty to commence such a discussion. At pre sent, however, he can see no objection, and he puts his researches and arguments freely before the reader. He considers that the course of emancipa tion should be more generally followed, and gives his reasons for recommending it. The question is too weighty to be briefly discussed, but we com mend all who' are interested in our colonial administration to turn to his careful and ably written treatise. The English Bible ; a History of the Translation of the Holy Scriptures into the English tongue. By Mrs. H. C. Conant. Edited by the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon, Hall and Virtue. Mrs. Conant, the author of " Translations of Neander's Practical Commentaries" has turned her attention towards a very interesting and important subject. She traces the history of the translations of the English Bible since its first version in the national tongue, and gives an interesting account of the times and labours of Wickliffe, Tyndall, and Coverdale. Mr. Spurgeon has edited the work, and written a preface, which we are glad to find is in a sensible and moderate tone. In speaking of our version of the Scriptures, he says, " I think it a kind of treason to speak of rejecting it for another. It is almost miraculously good. Its noble Saxon ; its forcible idioms ; its sweet simplicity ; its homely sentences, all commend it to the Englishman as a treasure to be preserved with scrupulous care." He is, nevertheless in favour of some degree of re• vision, and asks that manifest mistranslation s should be removed. The work has had a large sale in America, and will very probably be widely diffused in this country. The Life of Jabez Bunting, D.D. By his son, T. Percival Bunting. Vol 1. Longman. D. r. Jabez Bunting was a preacher of repute and eminence among the Methodists. He closed his labours a few years since, leaving many papers and materials for a biography behind him. His second son has now assumed the responsibility of giving an account of his life and labours, of which the first volume is now presented to the public. The work will be especially interesting to tho se of his own persuasion, but many other readers will find much to deserve their attention in this record of a useful and honourable career. The Three Gates. In verse. By Chauncy Noel Townshend, author of " Sermons in Sonnets," & e . Chapman and Hall. This is an elaborate and carefully-written work, discussing the mysteries of human nature, and entering deeply into metaphysical speculations. Some of the shorter pieces are flowing and grace ful, and the long poems are, no doubt, the product of thought and feeling. But it is not every one who can think deeply and reason ably that has the power to write a successful epic, and we do not think the author Of this volume is one of the gifted few . He appears to be possessed of a largely tolerant and sympathising spirit, and, as such, may claim the respect of his readers, although they may not consider his verse equal to the grasp of his sub jects. First Impressions of the New World. Longman. This is a very pleasing work written in the form of letters from a father and mother to their little girl at home, and consequently is entirely simple and unaffected in its style. It shows us our trans atlantic brethren seen from a different point of view from that in which travellers generally look upon them, and instead of restricting us to the inspec tiot of great natural and political features, it gives particulars of social life and small occurencies in a pleasant homely way. It is a very lively and agreeable work, full of information and I'ariety. The Journal of Psychological Medicine and Mental Pathology. Churchill, New Burlington-street. This journal continues to collate and discuss all available information connected with the study of mental science. It opens with the psychological retrospect for the quarter, which alludes to any discoveries, incidents, or publications affecting its subjects. A review of Sir William Hamilton's valuable lectures on metaphysics analyses the first volume of that remarkable work, containing the general phenomexa of consciousness. The second volume, treating of peTception, memory, imagina tion, judgment, reasoning, and other special mani festations of consciousness is reserved for subsequent consideration. A very valuable paper on the prin. ciples of early mental education is well worthy of the attention of all concerned in the mental train ing of the young. The disadvantages of the system usually pursued are strongly dwelt upon, and the evils resulting from teaching a child combinations of letters which are not words, and other means of imparting mere rote knowledge are clearly shown. The Blue Book on Lunacy forms the subject of a lengthened paper, which en t e rs very fully into the report front the Select Committee. After weighing the voluminous evidence, and con sidering the various suggestions, the writer arrives at the same conclusion as the Committee, namely, that " the evidence is not sufficient to enable any one to form a definite opinion on the subjects to which it referred, and that the inquiry is altogether incomplete." The Law of Lunacy in Scotland, and some recent medico-legal trials are among the re maining topics. --- The Journal of Agriculture. Blackwood. This quarterly, as usual, contains much agricul tural information. One of the most interesting papers is a continuation of the comparison between English and French agriculture. The greater self reliance and independence of government possessed by the English farmer is justly cited as productive of most beneficial results. Mr. Robert Scott Burn, whose name is becoming well known in scientific agriculture, contributes some " Notes" taken durin a tour in B el g ium, Holland, and on the Rhine. g The " Report of the Transactions of the Highland Society" is as usual full of valuable matter. O n e of the papers most worthy o f no tice is on " Labourers, Cottages," by Charles St ewa rt. The tables of grain and agricultural summary are given as usual. ,IGENCE.
