THOS. DOBSON, Secretary. Inland Revenue, Somerset House, London, 21st November, 1862. E SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 25, 1.862'. 7HE OFFICE OF CITY SOLICI7OB. The General Purposes Committee of the Corporation of London on Saturday issued a report upon the reference made to them to inquire into the duties and emoluments of the office of City Solicitor, vacant by the death of Mr. C. Pearson, and whether any alteration should be made there in; and also to consider whether the office of City Solicitor might, with advantage, be amalgamated with any other present appointitent. The Committee went into a very full consideration of the subject referred to them, and all matters connected with the office since its first establishment in the year 1545, and they proceeded to ascertain the amount of salary that had been received by Mr. Pearson for a period bf 14 years, namely, from 1848 to the tithe of his death in the present year. It appeared that during these years the smallest amount of salary received by Mr. Pearson Was in 1852, When the amount paid to him was £1,744, and it varied from this sum to over £2,000, the amount received during the present year being £3,036 its. The average net income during the period referred to is £2,081 Bs. ; but in addition to this Mr. Pearson received an additional sum of £772 in respect of appointments temporarily held by him. The committee, in the first instance, took into considera tion that portion of the subject referred to them regarding the advisability of amalgainating the office of City Solicitor with any existing office, and they had a long conference with the Comptroller, the Secondary, and the Remem brancer upon the subject, mid the committee came to the conclusion that it Would not be advisable at present that either of these gentlemen should undertake the duties of the office of City Solicitor in addition to those of his pre sent office. They, however, state that with regard to the office of Remembrancer, it may be expedient at a future time to consider the propriety of amalgamating this office with that of City Solicitor, and they ex press an opinion that upon a favourite opportunity of pre senting itself hereafter, it would be highly desirable that the City Solicitot should be appointed to the office of Remem braneer, and conduct all the legal and parliamentary busi ness now transacted by that officer of the corporation, and that the official and Ceremonial duties of the Remembrancer should be transferred to the office of the Town Clerk. The committee, as the result, recommend that the salary of the City Solicitor shall in future be the fixed one of £1,250 per annum, free of all deductions and of all expenses of his office, but to include all emoluments whatever, and that he be allowed the sum of £5OO per annum for clerks. It is, however, required that the gentleman holding the office shall not be permitted to hold any other appointment what ever, nor to engage in the transaction of professional busi ness for or on behalf of any other parties than the corpora. tion ; but that his time and attention be at all times devoted exclusively to the business of his office. The committee likewise recommend that it should be stipulated that the election to the office of City Solicitor is subject to such further regulations, in addition to the accustomed standing orders, rules, and regulations of the corporation, as may hereafter be made in reference to the discharge by th a t officer of the duties attached to the office of City Remain - brancer. The report is signed by Mr. Sydney Waterlow' the chairman, and Mr. Alderman Humphery, and Messrs . Bone, H. Lowman Taylor, Teulon, Todd, Field, Lusher' and Northcott, and the discussion upon it will take place in the course of a few days. ensuing winter. The price of raw silk is rising in Lyons. The value of the silks exported from Lyons during the year 1861, including ribands, is estimated at 333,310,000 f. Simi lar exports in 1860 amounted to 454,731,485 f, showing a diminution in the year 1861 of 121,421,485 f. The average amount of the exports during the five years preceding 1862 was 420,116,0801, and the diminution of the exports in the year 1861, as compared with 1859, is 166,000,000, showing how much the manufacturers of Lyons have suffered by the American civil war. The cotton manufacturers are coming forward most libe rally for the relief of the distressed operatives. MM. Wherlin and Hofer, of Mulhausen, who closed their mill in August last, have undertaken to maintain all their hands on full pay until July next. The operatives attend every day at the mill at the usual hours. The men are employed at field works about the grounds and the women occupy themselves with knitting and needlework. There is a school established for the children, where they are taught to read and write. The Governor of the Bank of France has subscribed 10,000 f. for the re:ief of the unemployed cotton spinners at Rouen. The Minister of Commerce has published returns show ing the average produce of wheat per hectare (2i acres) in the several departments of Fiance. It appears from these returns that the produce is greatest in the Seine, where it is 26 hectolitres 72 litres, and least in the Lozere, where it is only 6 hectolitres 67 litres the hectare. The general average for all France is between 13 and 14 hectolitres the hectare. The land under wheat this year is estimated at 7,000,000 hectares, exclusive of Nice and Savoy. The average produce is considered good when it reached 14 hec tolitres the hectare. The late harvest is considered equal to a fair average, particularly as the quality of the wheat is unusually good. under his quiet exterior is hidden a fiery soul, that he is patient only because patience is the surer game, and that his ignominious dismissal from the army which his genius converted from an undisciplined and disorderly mob into a respectable and efficient force, will be his stepping -stone in due time to a higher position, military and political, than was ever before occupied by any man in the Republic— George Washington not excepted. But the Presi dential election is a long way off. Two years make sad havoc with great zeputations in this country, and in a time of revolution such as this, two years are sufficient not only to knock duwn men, but in stitutions and constitutions, laws and liberties, and systems of finance and government—everything that ought to be stable and well assured. And great as M'Clellan now is, two years may consign him to obscurity and harmlessness. BELLIGERENT .RIGHIS Al SEA AND COMMERCIAL BLOCEADES. Yesterday a special meeting of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce was held at their rooms to discuss the above subjects, some members of the chamber having expressed their dissent from the published opinions of the council of the chamber. Mr. T. Chilton, the president of the chamber, occu pied the chair, and the attendance of members was unusually great. In opening the proceedings, the chairman explained that the council of the chamber having memorialised the Board of Trade, Lord Pal merston, and the House of Commons, in favour of a change in the international law with reference to belligerents rights at sea and commercial block ades, some members of the chamber had expressed opinions that the declarations of the council did not represent the views of the majority of the members of the chamber. Under these circumstances, the council had resolved to call a special meeting, in order to give the chamber an opportunity for fully discussing the two subjects, either singly or con- jointly. The following letter was then read from Mr. T. C. Ewart, one of the members of the borough : "New Brighton, Nov. 24. "My dear Sir,—l am very sorry that I shall be unable to be present at your meeting to-day, as I have another im portant meeting to attend, from which I cannot be absent. But I have so often expressed at your half-yearly meetings () to n th m e y q i u n es a ti d e d n itio to n. be w br h ou y g E h n t g fo lan rw d a , rd w , h t i h ch at i l s m h m a y o v r eoe opinion i t i e t p o l n a l y interested than any other nation in abolishing those belligerent rights, can continue the suicidal policy she is now pursuing, I could never understand. However sound such a policy might have been in former times, it is now very different since the declaration of 1856, and it can not stop where it is. lam afraid the feeling of the House of Commons is at present against us ; but the motion of my hon. colleague did great good by ventilating the subject, and the late excellent speech of Mr. Cobden, at Manchester, will, 1 trust, have the effect of inducing the public to con sider the question more fully. It will no doubt be again brought forward in the House of Commons, and I need scarcely say it shall have my support.---Yours, &c., " T. Chilton, Esq." " J. C. EWART. Mr. CAMPBELL then moved .a resolution to the effect that the chamber adhered to the views ex pressed by it in its memorial to the Board of Trade, Jan. 19, 1860, and Lord Palmerston, Feb. 3, 1860, and in its petition to the House of Commons, March 6, 1862, in favour of the proposal to exempt private property from capture at sea. - The resolution was seconded by Mr. ROBERTSON. Some discussion then arose as to whether the two questions should be discussed singly or conjointly. Ultimately the resolution of. Mr. ,Campbell was changed to a resolution approving of the memorial of the council to the Government in favour of the abolition of commercial blockades. Mr. CAMPBELL then proceeded to speak at length in favour of his motion. The motion having been seconded by Mr. C. ROBERTSON, Mr_ Lime° Ornrfori (..thur or the •• American Union and the "S" of the 7imes) said that he thought it would be highly adverse to the interests of this country to abandon the right of capture at sea, and still more injurious to abandon the right of blockade. He moved, as an amendment, " That, in the opinion of this chamber, it is not expedient to memorialise the Government to abandon the rights of blockade or diminish its efficiency." Mr. HOLLAND seconded the amendment. After a long discussion, during which a great deal of heat and partisanship were exhibited, Mr. RAWLINS proposed, and Mr. PATTERSON seconded, the adjournment of the question until Wednesday week, which was lost. Other adjournment motions having been also lost, Mr. CAMPBELL was allowed to reply. The amendment of Mr. Spence was then put and carried by 23 to 14 votes. THE .REMOVAL OF GEN. 111,CLELLAN. (Fsom the New York Jimes of Nov 10.) As a politician, Gen. 111‘Clellaa's sympathies, pre vious to the rebellion, had always been with the South. He has believed them wronged by Northern sentiment and by Northern action. And, beyond all question, he has hoped and believed that a time would come when the war could be arrested, and when the Southern leaders, backed by a powerful party in the Northern States, would listen to terms of accommodation, and that nothing would stand in the way of such a compromise more than a victory which should wound their pride by humiliating their arms and crushing their power_ In this view of the case Gen. M'Clellan has been encouraged by the political partisans who, at an early stage in th e war , ma d e hi m their prospective candidate for the Presidency, and came thus to have an interest in putting him in opposition to the ad ministration which he professed to serve. They de fended his e rrors , an d made themselves the special champions of his worst mistakes. They had unques tionable provocation and some excuse for much of this in the intemperate zeal with which he was as sailed ; but they betrayed him into an undue reli ance on the support of a party, and a ruinous sub serviency to their wishes and views. We know not how else to account for the steady and systematic disregard he has shown of the wishes and orders of the Government, and for his adherence to a deliberate and methodical inactivity, which has brought the cause of the Union to the very verge of ruin. Unless we have been misinformed, President Lin coln has on two occasions written to Gen. M'Clel lan, reviewing in detail his military operations, and demonstrating his failures to respond to the wishes and just expectations of the Government. One of these papers was prepared just after .111 4 Clellan had landed on the Peninsula, the other after the battle of Antietam ; and we have heard both spoken of as masterpieces of military criticism. It is a melan choly satisfaction to learn that the President of the United States, who is the Commander-in-Chief of all its armies, and who is responsible, before God and the country, for the behaviour of all its gene rals, did not keep Gen. M'Clellan in command of the army of the Potomac from any 'confidence in his .d capacity or his fitness for the place. Why h e did retain him so long after he had satisfied .himselfus that he ought to be removed, it might be v eur t i r o ust , though it would be useless to speculate.. that the first act of Congress, when it me -I ts e t mouth, will be to call for all the corresponden ce, c vhich can and all the documents of every km throw light upon the extraordinary kind, which of this unfortunate commander.

What he will be able to accomplish re mains to be seen. It is now certain that, in con sequence of the extraordinary delay in the move ments of our army, the rebels have completely eluded them, and are now beyond their reach. The autumnal rains have commenced; the rivers and small streams of Virginia are no longer ford able; the roads are becoming muddy and imprac ticable; end all rapid and effective movement is mearly impossible. If it was any pia of General M'Clellan's purpose to prevent a decisive battle with the rebel arm y, h a was p ro bably left in com mand just long enough to accomplish his object. THE FRENCH MARKETS. The Paris corn-market was well supplied with wheat last week, and prices were nevertheless firm, with much varia tion from those of the preceding week. Choice samples are quoted at from 35f to 35f 50c the sack of 120 kilogrammes; first quality, 24f 25c to 34f 60c ; ordinary, 33f 50c to 34f. The merchants in the market offered their wheat at 50c the sack less. Wheat from Chartres was sold at 34f. It was difficult to obtain 33f 50c for wheat from the central depart ments of France. The farmers in Picardy find millers in that country willing to purchase their wheat at 28f and 28f 50c the 100 kilogrammes. The purchase of bakers' flour in Paris is reduced to the smallest pos. sible quantity. Bakers will not buy more than is suf ficient for their daily consumption until the long-pending question of free trade in bread is decided. Choice samples are quoted at 62f. the sack of 157 kilogrammes ; good marks, from 60f to 61f, and ordinary quality, from 58f to 59f. The sale of flour of the six marks has been very quiet for some days past. It was quoted at the beginning of the week; for delivery, at 59f 75c; for December, 60f; and for the first four months of next year, 69f. The official quotations on Saturday afternoon are, for delivery, 601; for December, 59f 25c; and for the first four months of next year, 59f 25e. The factors declared on Saturday 129 sacks of flour, of which 61 sacks of first quality sold for delivery with 30 days st rrom Di' to Om tne me nour remaining in tne market stores unsold amounts to 3,288 quintals. The situ ation of the corn-market at Marseilles wee not brilliant last week. The numerous arrivals of ships laden with corn have induced purchasers to suspend their operations, and the importers have been forced to place the foreign wheat in the bonded stores. The corn imported last week con sisted of 87,436 hectolitres of wheat from the Danubian Principalities, 51,372 from Russia, 9,958 from Turkey, 4,253 from Greece, 2,720 from Italy, and 2,169 from Egypt. The sales did not exceed 35,160 hectolitres. The business at the Havre market is confined to some trifling sales by auction, which are held daily. Prices have become more firm in the Bordeaux corn-market within the last 15 days. Wheat sells sells for 23f and 23f 50c the 80 kilogrammes. Flour is worth from 41f to 43f the 100 kilogrammes. The markets throughout the south of France have been influenced by a demand from Languedoc and by the country millers, who have no stock of wheat on hand. Wheat continues to decline in the markets of Niort, Issou dun, Chateauroux, and throughout the central departments. The telegraph has brought the prices of the provincial mar kets held on Saturday I-- " Amiens—Market well supplied ; sales easy, with firm ness in prices; barley abundant. " Arras--A passable market, sales difficult, prices firm, wheat 191 to 24f 50c the hectolitre. " Chartres—A. large market, sales Slow, a fall on wheat of 350. the hectolitre. " Dijon—A good market; very numerous offers of wheat from farmers ; prices firm ; a fall on oats. " Etampes—A large market, same prices as last week. "Laval—An ordinary dull market; a fall of 50c the hec tolitre on wheat and barley. " Marseilles—Sales brisk, prices very firm. Ibraila wheat 27f 50c the measure of 160 litres, Polish wheat 31f to 36f, Enos wheat 29f. " Melun market well supplied ; a fall of 410 on wheat, price 20f 61c the hectolitre. " Metz-1,538 hectolitres of wheat sold to-day at 27f 59c. " Montereau—A large market, sales easy at a reduction of if the sack on wheat. " Pontoise—Sales brisk, wheat from 32f to 35f the sack of 120 kilogrammes; weather cold. "Rheims —No change in prices, and very little business doing; wheat 28f to 28f 50c. the 100 kilogrammes, flour 37f to 38f. " Troyes—A small market, wheat and rye very firm." New wine continues to arrive in large quantities both at the market of Bercy and at the entrepot. Some very fine the hectolitre. The Narbonne wines are inferior this year to samples of Roussillon were sold last week at fro m 55f to 60f the Roussillon, and are selling at from 40f to 45f the hecto litre. Montagne is quoted at from 30f to 35f the hectolitre. Bordeaux wines are scarce at Bercy, the wine , growers in the Bordelais still holding over the last crop. There has been some falling off in the sale of the wines of Lower Burgundy. The wines of the Cher are quoted at from 95f to 100 f the cask for light wines, and at from 100 f to 110 f for superior quality. The wines of Macon are in very good demand at Bercy at from 85f to 100 f the cask of 214 litres for second quality. There is a brisk demand for wine at Pezenas, but according as purchasers appear in the market the wine growers raise their prices, and consequently there is not much business transacted. Some sales were effected of light wines at Mentagnac, at 82f 50c, and some very fine red wine was sold at Servian at 1101, 115 f, and 120 f the cask of 700 litres, taken at the vineyard. Wine-growers in the Aude maintain their prices in consequence of numerous lo sa g le t s y eLfec ,_ ted . . small orders received from the retail dealers. Wine of the o inotogeoo Est quality is quoted at 29f and 30f the hectolitre • second quality, 22f to 25f, Light wines, if drinkable, are worth from 15f to 181. There are numerous agents in the Borde leis tasting wine in every direetion, but there are not many in the unexpected purchasers have yet a large quantity of the so many travellersholding see ingfrom houses in Paris, feel confident winilitheebptariince beefttberratendrmsies..

NEW YORK, Nov. 11. No one who knows anything of the character of Mr. Lincoln's mind, or of the immense pressure that has been brought to bear upon it by the Abolitionist and extreme war party, will be surprised to learn that he has a second time relieved Gen. M'Clellan from the command of - the Army of the Potomac. Near midnight, in the midst of a frightful snow storm on Friday last, the General was officially ap prised of the fact by Brigadier Buckenham, and ordered to report himself at Trenton, the capital of New Jersey, a little city, 57 miles from Ncw York, where his wife sad family had gone to pass the winter. A whisper of what had happened had been heard by a few persons in New York before the close of business on Saturday, and there was a consequent fall in public securities of about / per cent., but the general public was nit informed until Sun day morning. Little or no surprise seemed to be felt by anybody, tat a good deal of alarm, not un mingled with disgust and indignation, was expressed whenever the commentators happened to belong to the Democratic party. The ultra-Republicans and " Exterminators" who raise in pulpit and on plat form the savage slogan, " war to the knife, and the knife to the handle," are of course delighted—and Governor Sprague' of Rhode Island, a wealthyjma nufacturer, enriched by the war tariff, and known for his zeal in the cause of abolition—Zed that 'hie led him to raise and arm a negro brigade, which the President will not allow to leave Rhode Island— went so far as to order a salute of 100 guns to be fired yesterday in Providence iu commemoration of the event. The dismissal has been no hasty move ment. It appears to have been resolved upon in the Cabinet immediately on the President's return from his visit to the camp after the Battle of Antie tam—but Mr. Lincoln, always kind; always dila tory, always dubious, always over-polite, delayed the stroke as long as possible, partly, perhaps, from a desire not to seem to act harshly, and partly, no doubt, from a disinclination to take a step of such importance while the elections were pending. The grounds of the dismissal are set forth in a despatch from Gen. Halleck to the Secretary of War, dated the 28th of Oct. The report accuses Gen. M'Clellan .se .u...ucaieuee of orders, in refusing to advane. against the enemy after the Battle of Antietam, upon the plea that the army lacked shoes, tents, stores, and other necessaries, which plea General Halleok holds to be entirely unfounded, asserting that all the wants of the army were duly cared for, and that any delays which may have occurred were trivial and speedily remedied. He furthermore charges M'Clellan point flank with wilful neglect of a peremptory order of the 6th of October to cross the Potomac immediately to give battle to the enemy, or to drive him south. teen. Halleck shows himself a stern critic. He writes like a lawyer, and the brief it unexceptionably drawn. Perhaps, however, it would not be very difficult to indite as unfavourable a criticism against himself. He is a General who never fought a battle, and all that the world knows of him, be yond the fact that he is nominally Commander-in- Chief, is that he was splendidly befooled by General Beauregard at Corinth, and suffered an army of 100,000 opponents to withdraw from a strong posi tion which he beleagured before he knew that a single man had disappeared, and entered Corinth to find no living creatures in it but a few dogs and two negroes. Simultaneously with General Halleck's accusation, which the friends of General M'Clellan maintain that he can satisfactorily answer, the Com mittee of Generals and lawyers appointed to inves tigate the circumstance, attending the surrender of Harper's Ferry have, in plain terms, censured Gen. M'Clellan for neglecting to send reinforcements to Colonel Mil es , whom the committee also stigmatise i as an incompetent officer. Had the Preside n t b een capable of res i st i ng the p o liti ca l influence di rec t e d against him ni g ht ala day by the Aboliti on i s t party in the C a bi net, the lecture-ro om , an d in the press, in the pulpit, in thep aifor resultsm — 0 f hisbatesparty visit to to M'Clellan's camp afte r the battle of Antietam might have satisfied his • mind that the Abolitionists were demanding i mpossibilities of the General, and that the advance so imperatively urged by an im patient, if not rabid, faction would have led to the destruction of the army which attempted it ; and that M'Clellan, who had twice preserved the national capital from capture and destruction, might not have been equally successful the third time if he had yielded his own judgment to act on that of uninformed and prejudiced people, who envied him for his success and hated him for his politics. With M'Clellan has fallen his friend and disciple General Fitz-John Porter, who has been summoned to Washington to be tried by court-martial for charges preferred against him by General Pope after the luckless battle of Centreville—charges amounting to treasonable disobedience of orders. It is even hinted that M'Clellan himself will have to submit to the same ordeal on the prosecution of General Halleck. Whatever may be the real merits of the case as regards the military genius or the loyalty of IVl'Clellan—for both are impeached by his political enemies—his dismissal has increased his popularity, and made him by far the most prominent man in the Federal States. Around his name — which will be to them a tower of strength—will rally the triumphant Democrats, as well as all the quieter people who are weary of the war, hopeless of its success, pinched by its taxation, or ruined, as thousands must be, by the inevitable collapse of the rotten financial system on which it is based. Last night, at a great meeting of the Young Men's Demo • cratic Association the mention of his name elicited the most obstreperous demonstrations of applause ; and when Mr. J. Van Buren declared that M'Clel lan, and M'Clellan alone, must be the next Demo cratic candidate for the Presidency, the cheers burst forth with a volume and a will sufficient to prove that if a Presidential election were near, and not remote, his chances would ever weigh those of every competitor. Some of the general's friends say that he is not ambitions, and that having cleared his military character from the aspersions thrown upon it by Gen. Halleck and the Harper's Ferry Com mittee, he will wash his hands alike of war and politics and retire into private life, the severest and most flagrant example of the proverbial ingratitude of Republics. Others, however, maintain that Ln BRA7'U.RE. Mrs. Halliburion's Troubles. By Mrs. Henry Wood. 3 vols. Bentley. More than a century has elapsed since Hogarth produced his series of plates depicting the contrast ing fates of the idle and industrious apprentices. It has since then served as a frequent basis for the dramatist and the novelist, and we meet with a clever variation of it in the tale before us. That such would scarcely be inferred from the title is true, but although the commencement depicts the " troubles" of Mrs. Halliburton, by far the larger portion is occupied by the career of her eldest son and of his fellow apprentice. Nor do her troubles arise from her children, who are all that a parent could wish, but from the poverty in which she was plunged whom she had married ere his income had reached the orthod ox standard ibuygthmeapthreemmaattuieraeldteuattohr,ofvhderhusband, a hardwork of X3OO a-year. The crisis happened in this wise. Feeling somewhat unwell, it occurred to him that it would be prudent to insure his life for the bene fit of his wife and children, and on Oiling at an office for that purpose, he was referred to their me dical man. He went, as a matter of form, and was grievously alarmed at being not only refused a cer tificate, but told that his only chance of life was immediate retirement to the country. The shock this gave him may be imagined, but there was no resource but to act on it. He therefore gave up his London engagements, sold off his furniture, and proceeded with his wife and family to Helstonleigh (the cathedral town which forms the scene of " The Channings"), where he had a cousin married to an attorney named Dare, through whose influence he hopes to gain a connection. Vain hope! Travel ing to Helstonleigh on the outside of a coach, he got drenched with rain, caught a terrible cold, was laid up with rheumatic fever, broke a blood vessel, and died, whilst Mr. Dare not only refused to aid them but put an execution in the widow's house for rent. In this extremity she applied to the landlord, an extensive glove manufacturer, named Ashley, who at once relieved her from the pressure. She obtained work from his manufactory, and her eldest son, was taken there as a kind of supe rior errand-boy. The idea of this kind of occupa tion was at first, as may be imagined, not very I p o a w l u t a g b l e e e u t s o i b h l i e m e , d b v u i e t e : his_ T o b t h e r e e r g w a o v u e d h i b m e t u h fol oe real disgrace in it, my darling. No work, in itself, brings disgrace ; be it the carrying abroad of parcels, or be it the sweeping out of a shop. So long as we retain our refinement of speech, of manner, our courteous conduct one to another, we shall still be gentlepeople, let us work at what we may." Ac cordingly he sets to work dutifully, and rapidly gains his master's confidence and esteem. Now, in the same manufactory, and in the same position, is placed young Cyril Dare, the Dares and Ashleys being related, and Cyril being regarded as Mr. Ashley's prospective successor ; that gentleman's only son, Henry, being an invalid, and taking no part in the business. Of course, as the Dares are given to all worldly vanities, Cyril is the very oppo site of William. Idle, careless, and extravagant, he even go,:s so far as to abstract a cheque from his master's desk, and, although William is at first sus pected, it is soon apparent who is the guilty party, ip, and though, out of consideration for his friends, the affair is hushed up.

Of course the three volumes, inasmuch as the career of each member of the two families is enlarged on, though Cyril and William may be considered the two re presentative characters. In general plan the tale bears a considerable resemblance to "The Chan nings," its merits and defects being similar in kind, though, of the two, we prefer it. The intention is good, the style is excellent; the sketches of low life in Helstonleigh are vigorous and humorous, and we cordially commend the work to our readers' notice. ftfugeawgonm eet h ssi contemp tuously o fl 0,7 ofore, The Lzfe of Joseph Locke, Civil Engineer, M.P.

Still, " it is a long lane that has no turning," and Joseph at length obtained employment after his own heart in the office of George Stephenson. This was the foundation of his fortune. He soon showed that his abilities were of no mean order. He was employed by Stephenson in his important undertakings, and, in 1835, when they had a misunderstanding and separated, he was appointed engineer-in -chief to the Great Junction Railway. His course was now clear. His practical talent was fully recognised, and railway companies were only too happy to secure his services.

ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY. Last evening a meeting of the above society was held at Burlington House, Piccadilly; Sir Roderick I. Murchison in the chair. The first paper, a letter by Dr. Livingstone on the Lake Nyassa, in Africa, was read by Dr. Norton Shaw. It stated that at Mount Zomba there were two tribes which were exceedingly warlike and de structive, the Aj awes destroying the women and chil dren. There was a party of those people who, elated with continued success,finding they were before a small number of about 20, commenced shooting their poisoned arrows, when a resort to fire-arms vi as necessary. None, however, were struck by the fire arms. Fortunately none of the party were hit by the arrows. On approaching Lake N rose they found elephants and hippopotami, which were very tame, and in that locality they fell in with a num ber of natives who wished the English to sit in the sun while they remained in the shade. This was not acceded to, when they rattled their shields, and being frightened at the production of a note-book which they thought a pistol they sped away. Re ference was made to a thick atmosphere, like smoke, which was composed of insects, which the natives collected and made into a kind of cake, tasting like roasted locusts, but fishy. Alluding to the cotton districts which were most prolific, together with the lakes and cataracts, the letter concluded with a no tice of the extensive slave traffic which was carried on to the westward. Mr. SPOTTISWOODE read the second paper by Capt. Speke, on the East African Expedition, show ing the difficulties he had encountered, and also touching on the disgraceful truffle in the slave trade. The third paper, by Mr. Baker, contained an ac count of his journeys in Abyssinia, &c., showing that up to 12 degrees north latitude none of the maps were correctly laid down. He had seen elephants buffaloes, hippopotami, giraffes, &c., and one day he killed five elephants. The CHAIRMAN here referred to Captain Burton; who had ascended the Elephant Mountains, and also to Mr. Moffatt, the brother of Mrs. Livingstone, who recommended the use of camels for exploring. Mr. TINNET explained some remarks which had been made by the Chairman respecting three ladies who had proceeded up the Nile. Arriving at Khar toum they had to wait there the four wet months before they could make an exploration of Abyssinia, Upper Nubia, &-c Up the White Nile they could obtain no habitation. By the accounts in July last he believed they intended to proceed to Gondecoro, and when he received further information it should be forwarded to the society. He stated that the cha racter of the climate of the White Nile was most salubrious.

The proceedings were then a;ljourned until the Bth December next. 1 1 1ARI7IME .RIGH7S. DISCUSSION AT THE JURIDICAL SOCIETY. At the usual bi-monthly meeting of the Juridical Society, held last night at their rooms, St. Martin's place, Trafalgar-square (Lord Stanley, M.P., in the chair), the discussion was resumed on Mr. West lake's paper, relative to the proposed alterations in the law of blockade. Mr. COLLIER, MX., opened the discussion. Re ferring to the proposition of Mr. Cobden, that no place should be blockaded unless it was invested both by sea and land, he was of opinion that the other nations would not agree to it ; and what the country had to consider was the difference between the injury which it inflicted and the injury which it suffered. Mr. Cobden seemed to him to beg a large part of the question when he assumed that this nation could have a protracted war only with such great powers as Russia, France, and America. But England might have wars with smaller States, and if she relinquished the right of bl oc k a d e s h e would give up th e only means she had of coercing such nations, for it was impossible she could land armies upon their coasts, she not being a military nation. No doubt the blockade of the Southern ports of America was injurious to England as a neutral, but it was far more injurious to the Con federates, for were it not for that they (the Confe derates) would now be independent. He would not enter into the question if private property should be inviolate at sea, but he was sure the relinquish ment of the right of blockcde, allowed and acted upon by all nations, would be injurious to this country. AuEp.bylVsEißrSGTE.RC.dii,sea‘g,v irse:dthaftrowtnarthpeut positionan taken end to n treaties betwe en t h e b elligerents, and there fore he held that if the relinquishment of block-. ade were generally provided for by treaty between the maritime powers, it would thence become an article of the law of nations which no State would dare to violate. Mr. PIIINN regretted that the question of the in violability of private property at sea was not made the subject of discussion. It was the established law of nations that one nation could blockade not only particular ports, but the entire coasts of its enemy ; and even the Americans, who were formerly the loudest in their complaints of it,were now them selves but too ready to act upon it. Mr. W. M. BEST considered that Mr. Cobden confounded the right of blockade with the duty of blockading. Every nation kid the right, but it was a question of expediency for the consideration of each nation whether it would or would not exercise it. The object of all just wars was to inflict upon an enemy such an amount of injury as would coerce him into submission to the law of n itions, when by the violation of it he had provoked the hostilities. Blockade cut, him off from commerce, and so de [Hived him of the sinews of war, and any neilt!' , l , l which supplied h'm with th em wa s an accomplice in his crime.
