Sir R. PEEL, in resistin; the proposal, reminded the house that the grant had received the sanction of both Mr. Pitt and Sir R. Peel with a yew to conciliate all interests, remove religious irritation, and unite in one common bond all classes of her Majesty's suljects. Ho admitted that the pectations which had been foiled in this respect had not been realised; still, as a ina,,ter of justice and policy, he considered it would not be wcllfor the house to rescind the arrangement of 1846. Mr. NEWDEGATE thank(' Sir R. Peel for his frank and honest acknowledgment, tlat the object which his late father had had in view when hepassed the act of 1815 had been defeated. This Ives the Pettit of the action of the Ultramontahe fiction in the Clinch of Rome, and the time had now arrived when the Collige at Maynooth ought to be put in the position in which Mr. Pitt desired to place it, and be maintained by the Rorni,n Catholics themselves. On a division the motion was negatived by 193 to 111. HARBOURS OF REFUGE. Mr. LINDSAY moved, that in he opinion of the house it was the duty of the Governmeit to adopt measures to carry into effect the resolution of tie house of the 19th of June, 1860, in regard to harbous of refuge. The hon. member pointed out at sable lengtithe obvious advantages of harbours of refuge to the mercantile and shipping inte rest, as a means of saving both lio and property; and for tified his proposal by reference tc the recommendations of the select committees and Royal commission who had in • quired into and reported upon the subject. AdeniralllONCOMßE seconded the motion, but ex pressed a fear that in the present state of the finances the Chancellor of the Exchequer would not be able to spare the money required to give it effect. Mr. BAXTER opposed the motion, and said that but few vessels would receive any benefit from the construction of harbours of refuge at the points .ndicated by the Royal commissioners, and commented uron the discrepancy in their recommendations and those of the select committee ; the latter suggesting that th 3 expenditure should be de frayed out of the passing tots, and the former that the greater portion of the amount should bo paid out of the general taxation of the country, whilst they also differed with regard to the total outlay. Ho warned the house against adopting a resolution fledging them to embark upon an expenditure which would be far greater than any advantage that was likely to be dirivcd from it, which the financial position of the country did not warrant, and of which, when once commenced, net a man living would see the end. Sir F. SMITH, as a menher of both select committees and the Royal commission, cold that the committees only gave an opinion as to what the cost would be, but that the commissioners treated the question from an engineering point of view; and he ventured to assert that their esti mates were sufficient to carry out the works, inasmuch as a large margin was allowed for contingencies. After some observations from Lord A. VANE TEMPEST, Mr. PEASE, and Mr. BLAKE, Mr. M. GIBSON opposed the motion, and reminded the house that a bill had recently beet passed authorising the public works loan commissioners to make advances of money, repayable in fifty years, at per cent. interest, for the enlargement and improvement of existing harbours ; that numerous advances had been made during the present year; and that several additional plans were now being con sidered by the commissioners. It Wl/13 but fair, therefore, to give a scheme of that kind time to work, and see how far it would mitigate the evil complained of, With a view to saving life and property at sea, nothing was so important as to im prove the access to the existing trading port ; because it was at their entrances that vessels ciiefly congregated and that the larger number of casualties )ccurred ; and ho believed that if time were allowed to work that bill great advantage would result therefrom. Accoriing to the commissioners themselves, their recommendations could not he carried out for less than £4,000,000 ; bit he should be sorry to take the responsibility of saying that tho works could be executed for less than £6,000,)00; on the contrary, he believed they could not be accomplished fully and com pletely under 0,000,000. Was the house, then, prepared to pledge itself to the resolution? If it were, it must not trust to the illusions put forward by the commissioners re specting local assistance, but /lust provide the money by Parliamentary grants to the amount required, and the re quisite ways and means to meet the expenditure. The great loss of life and property through accidents at sea did not take place in the neighbourhood of the proposed har bours of refuge. More could be done for the protection of life by lifeboats and mortars and rockets stationed along the coast, than by the erection of tylew piers, constructed at an enormous expense ; and in the absence of represen tations from shipowners, or the expression of a readiness on their part to bear any part of the expenditure, he hoped the house would not assent to the motion. The debate was continued by Mr. LIDDELL and Sir M. PETO. Sir J. PAKINGTON owned himself disappointed at what had fallen from the President of the Board of Trade, who preferred to substitute his own unsupported conjec tures for the carefully-considered calculations of the Royal commissioners. The riglAt hon. gentleman's argument was neither more nor less than this—let shipwrecks take place, and then trust to lifeboats and mortar and rocket apparatus stationed along the coast for saving of life. The value of harbours of refuge could not be better illustrated than by reference to Holyhead and Portland, both of which in case of heavy weather were always crowded with merchant shipping. With regard to ways and means, the Govern ment knew in 1860 what was the report of the committee and of the commission, and what was the opinion of the House of Commons. They knew the cost; yet in 1861 they recklessly wasted the resources of the country, which they might now have applied to this beneficent and useful purpose. Sir G. LEWIS opposed the motion, and condemned the taking any precipitate step in the existing state of the pub lic finances. Mr. BENTINCK approved of the motion on the ground of humanity and public policy, but thought that Mr. Lind say had put himself out of court by the course he had taken in voting for the abolition of the paper duty and supporting the recent financial measures of the Government. He hoped, therefore, the bon. gentleman would not ask the house to go to a division. Mr. CItOSSLEY suggested that the ways and means might be found by borrowing the required amount upon terminable annuities of 30 years, or some other period. Sir F. BARING expressed alarm at the facility with which hon. members talked of raising loans. It was a very pleasant means, perhaps, of getting rid of a difficulty, but he warned them that tho moment they entered upon that downward course they would find it extremely difficult to retrace their steps. Sir S. NORTHCOTE believed that the house would be acting rashly in adopting the motion, and intimated that he should vote against it. A brief reply from Mr. LINDSAY terminated the de bate, and on a division the motion was negatived by 115 to 77. Captain JERVIS obtained i the appointment of a select committee to inquire into the best means of preserving Harwich Harbour as a harbour of refuge. Leave was given to Mr. M'MAIION to introduce a bill to facilitate the obtaining of sites for places ef religious wor ship in Ireland. Mr. CRAUFURD moved for certain returns relating to the benchers of the several inns of court. The motion led to some discussion, and, upon a division, was negatived by 54 to 19. The remaining business having been disposed of, the house adjourned. ANOTHER MURDER IN TIPPERARY. (From the Freeman's Journal.) CARRICK.- ON-Sumß, Tuegetay, Two o' Clock.—Again has Tipperary been stained with blood I and again, I am sorry to say, land is the undeniable cause. This time, however, it is not the landlord who has been assassinated. To-day I record the cowardly and bloody murder of a respectable farmer named Maguire. The alleged and believed cause of the act was that ho recently became the tenant of a farm from which the previous tenants were ovitted. To-day, about twelve o'clock, while passing along the road near Glenbower, ho was barbarously murdered. The police at once received the intelligence, and immediately made ar rangements for a, vigorous and, it is to be hoped, a success ful search. The inquest will be hold to-morrow by Mr. Shec, the same gentleman who has only just concluded the investigation at Rockwell on the body of Mr, Thieubalt. (From the Clonmel Chronicle.) CLONMEL, Tuesday.—Another frightful murder was committed to-day within a mile of Glenbower, near Nine mile House. It seems a man named Maguire had taken a farm from which a person n amed Kennedy had been evicted a few days since. Maguire was shot dead at 12 o'clock this day. POSTAL ARRANGEMENTS WITH BRITISH COLUM BIA.—Af the monthly meeting of tho council of the Liver pool Chamber of Commerce, on Monday, it was decided to memorialise Government for the establishment of a line of steamers for the conveyance of mails and passengers be tween British Columbia, Vancouver's Island, and Panama. It was stated that the Government is at present entirely dependent upon. American steamers for the carrying on of this work, and the council deemed it essential, for the proper d ev elopment o f the resources, And improvement; of the colonies, that the conveyance of mails and passengers should be in the baudo of Government. LITERATURE. The North British Review. The first article on the list, termed " The Church of England —Respondent," discusses the contents of two volumes recently produced in answer to "Es says and Reviews," the one being edited by the Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol, the other by the Bishop of Oxford. The views of the writer are, of course, perfectly orthodox, but le admits that good may come of the recent controversy. He says:— The Church of England has recently not merely given decisive evidence of its firm adherence to the Christianity which it professes, but has shown its ability to repel un belief in the mode of dispassionate and learned argumenta tion. The attempt lately made to gain a footing for the German infidelity within its pale has signally failed. No similar att em pt, pro b a bly, w il l b e thought of for some while to come; nor ever again, if only a clue improvement is made of this recent agitation. What we mean by a due im provement of it will consist in a more free development of genuine biblical criticism, This criticism must be more free than at present it is, in several senses. It must be free from the smouldering anxieties of those who, un fixed in their own belief, have doubted what might be the issue of studies of this kind. Exempt also this criticism must be from intimidations uttered by uninformed and in telligent good men, who would frighten their better in formed brethren bythe threat to denounce them as heretics. tree also must biblical criticism be from those restraints which in all ages have arisen from the disingenuous and dishonest reluctance to admit any exposition of Scripture, in single instances, from which opponents would be quick to snatch an advantage. 'rake it now as certain that the Scriptures are from God, in their own sense; then, if so, what are our fears P What is it that we apprehend f Not that the claims of this book should after all be dis proved I Not that, when honestly interpreted, Scripture itself will lead us astray I Not that the sense it gives us, in any one instance, may be of dangerous tendency, and that therefore it should be suppressed or disguised I All anxieties of this kind—all cautionary expedients or eva sions to which we may be tempted to give way in the interpretation of the Scriptures, are, in truth,. nothing better than so many forms of our own inward mistrust of them. In " Geologic Changes in Scotland in Historic Times," we find earthquakes enumerated among the causes. One shock, which took place in 1608, ex cited such alarm at Aberdeen "that it was re garded as a document that God is angry against the land, and against this city in particular, for the manifold sons of the people I From time immemorial it had been customary to carry on the salmon fishing in the Dee on Sundays, and the Kirk Session set this down as the proxi mate cause of the earthquake." There are three articles on poetry, namely, " Recent Homeric Critics and Translators," " Early Poetry of Eng land and Scotland," and "Last Poems of Mrs. Browning," the latter of which is the best. We cannot resist quoting one or two passages 4— WOMAN AND LITERATURE. In his Essay upon Joan of Arc, De Quincey thus ad dresses Woman, not as the general mother, but as the general sister: "Woman, sister—there aro some things which you do not execute as well as your brother, Man; no nor ever will. Pardon me, if I doubt whether you will ever produce a great poet from your choirs, or a Mozart, or a Phidias, or a Michael Angelo, or a great philosopher, or a great scholar." With perfect fairness might our sister retort that there are many things which she can execute better than her brother. She might also urge something more to the point, in the fact that woman has done very great things both in art and literature since De Quincey's words were written—the greatest things probably she has ever done. She has not yet produced her Shakspeare, her Newton, her. Bacon, her Handel ; and most likely never will. But what she has done during the last twenty years is quite sufficient to make man look down on her from his intellectual throne with less of the smile of superiority. In more than one department of literature she has run almost abreast of her brother in the race. It is very doubtful if the highest and richest nature of woman can ever be un folded in its home life and wedded relationships, and yet at the same time blossom and bear fruit in art or literature with a similar fulness. What we mean is, that there is so great a draft made upon woman by other creative works, as to make the chance very small that the general energy shall culminate in the greatest musician, for example. The nature of woman demands that to perfect it in life which must half lame it for art. A mother's heart, at its richest, is not likely to get adequate expression in notes and bars, if it were only for the fact that she must be absorbed by other music. That which makes the mother wealthiest, will at the same time hinder the artist by at least one-half. Thus a woman-Shakspeare would really have to be doubly as great as the man Shakspeare, for he had not to bear a family with all its precious burdens ; nor does it appear that he paid very much attention to his family when it had been borne for him. So that, if woman should never stand on an equality with her brother at his noblest height, she may fairly plead inequality at starting, and more hin drances by the way. Great writers are the exception amongst men, and they must be still more so amongst women, Women, who are happy in all home-ties, and who amply fill the sphere of their love and life, must, in the very nature of things, very seldom become writers. For most women, the whole of life is uttered in the one word "love," the whole world compressed in the one word " home," They live the reality in such fulness, that there i 3 no imperative need to seek refuge in an ideal world. And then, where is the incentive to sing or write ? Perfect joy does not often set people writing. Joy is a more uncon scious thing than sorrow. The reason why sorrow has in spired so many singers is because it appeal s so muc h more to the consciousness. It turns the eyes more within. And then it babbles, is more communicative, and loves to ease the heart of its burdens by telling its troubles. It is also lessened by being shared. Woman will seldom be able to "catch up the whole of life, and utter it ;" it will generally be only the half of life, and because it is only the half will she often strive to utter it. Nevertheless, where the nature of woman is drawn or driven to seek expression in art or literature, by all means let her have warm welcome and brotherly cheer. She has many a tender and vivid reve lation to make which is sealed to man. But her deeper intuitions demand an alliance with the most massive powers, ere the great books will be written of which her nature affords an index. THE POETESS. The world in general has got its first glimpse of Elizabeth Barrett through Miss Mitford's kind old eyes, that dwelt so lovingly on the young Greek-student girl, living her lonely London life with books for companions, instead of women and men. We have seen an early poem of hers on " Mind," or some such title, printed earlier than the classical period of her studies. It showed the brain at work before the heart had sent up its inspirations. It revealed a young poet of such parts, that she needed all that we sum up in the word " life," to ripen her natur e , and do justice to her great gifts. very shoot put forth by her expanding ex istence ought to have come into contact with such kinds of food as would have assimilated healthily. These should have been—grasping the human world, end the world of flowers and leaves, beasts and birds. The sea, it seems, should have sent its salt freshness, the old grey mountains have contributed strength, the green country its sweetnesses, the spring wind should have given her blood a brighter bloom, the blue heaven and golden sunshine have made her spirits dance within her; and these should have led out with ruddy cheek, happy light heart, and ready hand, into the companionship of live human beings, all of which might have enriched her nature by giving or receiving. Instead of this, we hear of the early doom indoors, the dim life in the sick-room, the mental life kindled and burning at the expense of the physical, the long train of many sufferings, the way of life sad and shadowy to be walked wearily in ill health, and the vista marked across at the end with an early grave. Such was the life and prospect which have been sketched for the young poetess in her early years. We doubt whether in this case, as in others, the lot was really so bad as our ima ginations are apt to colour it, especially when it has been drawn by the imaginations of others. We have met with people who have assured us that the sisters Brent° by no means lived the dismal life that we had realised ; and that, amidst all the loneliness and misery. they often managed to extract a good deal of pleasure from life. Still there was enough shutting up, in the case of Elizabeth Barrett, to set her mind growing in the world of books when it ought to have been expanding in a world warm with life; the mind was growing, as it were, in a dark collar, when it should have been shooting and striking root but of doors under the breathing influence of spring. The whole tendency of this life was to grow apart from that material which is the very clay in which the poet works. At any time, the strong imagination has difficulty enough to get fleshed, as we may phrase it, so as to dwell in common human forms, walk in common human foot steps, and speak our common human language. It is no easy matter to catch Pegasus, and put him into harness. But when the outer world is mainly closed, and the inner world of consciousness unhealthily quickened and stimu lated, the difficulty of bringing the imagination to bear for working purposes is many times greater. Ordinary pr . n and women grow up naturally in the ordinary f orm s , They are moulded to the o r di nar y condition of thing s, while the consciousness is awaking gradually. to use the dons feel lost with surprise at the state of matte' in which they have grown up.

Tilt REVISED CODE. Petitions against the Revised Code were presented by the Earl of SHAFTESBURY and by Lord COLVILLE. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Dartmouth and Torquay Railway Bill was read a Meond time. THIRD READINGS. The Llynoi Valley Railway, the Norwich Corporatior, the Ross Turnpike Trust, and the Berwick•upon•Tweed Harbour bills were read a third time and passsed. TRANSFER OF STOCKS (IRELAND) BILL. Lord ST. GERMANS moved the second reading of this bill, which was to assimilate the law with respect to the time of closing the Transfer Books of the Bank of Ileland with that of the Bank of England. The motion was agreed to. EXCHEQUER BONDS (X 1,000,000) BILL. This bill, on the motion of Earl GRANVILLE, was read a third time and passed. CHANCERY REGULATION BILL. The committee on this hill was postponed until this day week. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—YESTERDAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Scottish Northern Junction Railway Bill was read a third time and passed PETITIONS. A very large number of petitions were presented from different parts;of England,Scotland, and Ireland against the continuance of the grant to Maynooth College, and some of these petitions were signed by Roman Catholics. Petitions were also presented against the Revised Code; in favour of a more equitable imposition of the Income-tag; the reduc tion of duty on Fire Insurances ; the Public Houses (Scot land) Aot, &c. THE BALLOT. Mr. H. BERKELEY said that he had received various applications on the subject of the ballot, and he begged to give notice that he would state on next Tuesday week, the day on which he intended to bring the question forward. SOCIAL CONDITION OF THE WORKING CLASSES. Mr. SLANLY gave notice that he would move for leave to bring in a bill to improve the social condition of the working classes in or near large towns. EDUCATION (SCOTLAND) BILL. Mr. BLACKBURN asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether it was intended to go on with the Education (Scotland) Bill ; and, if so, whether the second reading would be proposed on Thursday next. The LORD ADVOCATE said that ho did not propose to proceed with the second reading of the bill next Thurs day, but he would state the course the Government would take with regard to it. THE BOARD OF WORKS -IN IRELAND. Sir H. BRUCE asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether it is the intention of her Majesty's Government to introduce a bill into Parliament this session, to enable the Board of Works in Ireland to extend their advances for the purposes of draining and erecting farm buildings and la bourers' cottages. Mr. PEEL replied in the affirmative, and said that the measure would be only temporary. VENTILATION OF HER MAJESTY'S SHIPS, &c. Sir J. ELPHINSTONE asked the Secretary to the Ad miralty, if he would lay on tho table of the house the re• port of the committee appointed by the Admiralty to consi der the ventilation of her Majesty's ships : whether her Ma jesty's ships and vessels destined for tropical climates since the reception of that report had been fitted in conformity with the opinion of that committee ; and whether the offi cer commanding the Coquette, a gun-vessel now preparing to sail for China, had applied to have the ventilation of his ship improved; and, if so, what reply had been given to his application ? Lord C. PAGET said ho would have no objection to lay on the table the report alluded to, but it was a merely pre liminary one. The Admiralty were carrying out the recom mendation of the committee relative to vessels intended for voyages to tropical climates, and the Coquette had been fitted up for her voyage to China. THE ALLEGED ATTACK ON HERAT. Mr. GRIFFITH asked the First Lord of the Treasury, whether, with respect to events now occurring at Herat, any proceeding or operation, diplomatic or military, had been uncle' taken, either by the English or Indian Govern ment, which should have a tendency to pledge this country to any act of hostility against Persia, or to any step for or against any of the other Powers of Central Asia, without the full knowledge and consent of Parliament and the country. Lord PALMERSTON said that the oply answer he could give was that, neither:her Majesty's Government nor the India Government had received any information to show that any such operations as those in question had taken place on the part of the Shah of Persia, and he was disinclined to disbelieve the report to the contrary. THE FORTS AT SPITHEAD. Sir J. ELP lIINSTONE asked the First Lord of the Treasury when a discussion would be taken on the pro priety of proceeding with the erection of the three forts at Spithead ? Lord PALMERSTON said that the committee of defence had not yet reported on the subject, and as he had stated before it would be necessary to come t Parliament for a grant to carry on the works, and the question would then be fully discussed. The house was run away with in its views in consequence of the engage ments of the Merrimac and Monitor, and the consequence was that the course which had been adopted with reference to these works had been taken. Without any discourtesy to the house, he begged to say that when hon. members took administrative matters out of the hands of the execu tive it was attended with increased expense and diminished efficiency. (Laughter.) CEYLON. Mr. LYALL called the attention of the house to the ex pediency of transferring the Government of Ceylon from the Colonial to the Indian Department; and moved for a return of all charges, civil, military, and naval, defrayed out of the Imperial Exchequer on account of the colony of Ceylon during the five years ending the 31stday of Decem ber, 1860. The hon. member went at some length into details bearing on his motion, and was interrupted by frequent cries of " Divide." Mr. C. FORTESCUE, in reply, said that there could be no doubt of the improved condition of Ceylon. From 1855 to 1860 £1,000,000 had been voted for public works in Ceylon, which had been chiefly expended in the con struction of roads and bridges, which were so essential to the development of the resources of the country. He referred to the advantages which good example and good government had effected on the in habitants of Ceylon, of which he gave !some illustrations. He thought the proposed transfer of the Government of the Colony would be productive of evil instead of benefit. He contended that imperial interests were bound up in the prosperity of Ceylon, and cited the fact that over £1,000,000 worth of English and Irish goods had been exported to that colony in 1860. Besides they possessed various naval and military stations in Cey-, lon, including the magnificent harbour of Trincomalee, which it would be most undesirable should pass into th. hands of any other power. He quoted the opinions of the late Lord Wellesley and other distinguished authorities on colonial subjects to show how valuable the restoration of Ceylon was to this country. He assured the house that the Government were fully alive to the subj ect. Lord STANLEY considered that the empire of India was already too large, and its extent was one of the great difficulties which attended the administration of its affairs. Besides, throwing the finances of the countries together would be attended with great complication, and there were several objections to the transfer advocated by the hon. gentleman who had brought forward the motion. Mr. LYALL did not regret having brought this subject for Ward from the discussion he had elicited and would con fine his motion to the return of the papers. The motion as amended was then agreed to. MAYNOOTH COLLEGE. Mr. WHALLEY, who had been frequently called for while the last three members had been speaking, and who was received with some cheers, rose to bring for ward the following motion, of which ho had given notice :—" That this houso will immediately resolve itself into a committee to consider the Act of the eighth and ninth of Victoria, for the Endowment of the College of Maynooth, with a view to the repeal of the same, due regard being had to vested rights and interests." He drew the attention of the house to the difference in the present motion to that which he had previously in troduced. The former motion was for the withdrawal of the grant to Maynooth College, while the present was for the repeal of the Act of 1845, and was intended to bring the grant to Maynooth under the control of this house. He considered that the time had arrived when the whole question of the Roman Catholic religion, the education of its Clergy, and application of hundreds of thousands to their purposes, should bo fully considered. Ho accused Lord Palmerston of inconsistency in supporting the grants of. this money, after the sentiments so y expressed by him and th e Ch ance ll or o f th e ably RomanthtqheCeate h ffo o e n l e i t c to furni s h o g u r t a s s n o t f s their ws w t l o th o e f Such subject of It a ly, an d c o n t en d e d fu en n a d b s l a e rm th ed e brigades to crush the liberties of Italy. (Cries of "Divide, divide," and "hear, hear.") Ile believed that the continua tion of these grants of money would prove most injurious to this country.

What verdict posterity will pass on our own age with its "pretty horsebreakers" or crinoline we may imagine, though we need not say; at any rate R e can laugh or be [virtuously horrified at our ancestors. One thing is pretty clear—outward coarseness has to an extent disappeared. Drunken ness, instead of being fashionable, is now disgrace ful. Ladies no longer " snuff " or rap out those peculiar little oaths with which the 18th century comedies are so liberally besprinkled. There is a change, let us hope, for the better. Still there is plenty of room for improvement, though the world is not likely to be perfected 12 our time. The fol lowing will give some idea of the kill of entertain ment in vogue during the last century : THE RANELAGH OF THE OLDER TIMES. Ranelagh, not long before that event, was the scene of one of the most splendid entertainments over given in this country by a foreigner. The French ambassador gave an entertainment there to Queen Charlotte and the Princesses, in which great cost was incurred for trifles. It was very characteristic of French taste in such displays. A host of opera girls were dressed out as shepherds and shepherdesses, with cornucopias in their hands, singing pastoral ditties to a lady who looked like anything but the goddess so honoured. Sprawling angels, genii, and allegorical transparencies, eked out the show of heathen deities and London opera dancers ; but, then, who could question the taste of the age of k grand monarque ! The Spanish ambassador, not to be outdone, transformed all Ranelagh into a Spanish camp filled with tents, and at the entrance of every tent a page in full uniform. The cele brated gallery was converted into a temple of Flora, and the orchestra into a pavilion, lined with white satin, having a heavy gold fringe. Within the pavilion a table of eighteen covers was laid for the Queen and Royal family. In front of the pavilion was a stage for the Spanish dancers, with their castanets. There were lotteries open with trinkets for prim s, such as jewellery and watches. Women waiters at tended, habited as shepherdesses, with garlands of flowers ,• and they, not very consistently, handed round tea and coffee, according to modern notions of Arcadian times. One hundred valets de chambre, in scarlet, the scams of their coats decorated with gold lace, and lined with blue, and also waistcoats of blue and gold, attended upon the com pany. Upon these valets in scarlet, a hundred footmen, in blue and silver coats and waistcoats, attended, Fireworks, pastorellas, dryads, and nymphs, attended, on all sides, to simulate Elysium, amid the murky atmosphere of London. Between three and four in the morning splendid suppers were served up, that at the Royal table on a service of pure gold; the table-cloth alone cost a hundred guineas. An ode of more than laureate doggrel was sung, and the ex pensive and tasteless entertainment concluded. The scene of these revels, the once renowned Ranelagh, had in the centre a rotunda one hundred and fifty feet in diameter, and neither devoid of elegance or novelty. It held numerous boxes for the company. There was a promenade round the circular orchestra in the centre. Tea, coffee, and refreshments were served during the concerts. Public breakfasts were often given there; and masquerades neither remarkable for good taste nor morality. No expenses were spared in purchasing whatever could be acquired for the entertainment. At the Knights' Gala, one of the latest given, 2,500 persons of the first class shared the hospitality of the house. A guinea the pound was paid for cherries, and 14s. a quart for green peas. The entertainment cost £7,000. Court dresses were worn upon the occasion. We are thus more minute regarding Ranelagh since its sun has so long set, and its sweet singers are among the dusty dead. Even its site is so changed, that it is difficult to imagine the spot, even in the present century, to have been one of the gayest resorts of fashionable life. A biographical sketch of the great Greek scholar, Porson, containing specimens of his annotations, follows ; which shows how little he accomplished, despite his marvellous gifts, in consequence of his drunkenness and debauchery. The greater portion of his late life was devoted to ribald talk and recitations, especially when heated with his favourite liquors. " Devil Dick was his soubriquet amongst his intimates—a weak, impure, wretched being—a scoffer at religion, and a trampler on the decencies of society." In "The Latter Days of William Pitt" we have a notice of Earl Stanhope's recent work. " Marriage in the Nineteenth Century" discusses the " Three Hundred a-Year" problem. Mrs. S. C. Hall's last work, " Can Wrong be Right," is favourably criticised, and the two tales, " The House by the Churchyard" and "Mildrington the Barrister," are continued. Colburn's New Monthly. " Obelisks" form the topic of the opening article in this number, the recent discussion concerning the memorial to Prince Albert having invested them with interest. They " were set up by the Egyp tians of old, first as solitary or single monuments, and afterwards in pairs before the great temples. The original idea attached to them has been the matter of much needless discussion, as in Zoega's work Do Origin et Usa Obeliscorum ;' as they seem to have been originally simply commemora tive monuments, like the upright stones that were raised in all countries in memory of a person or event ; but in this case first brought to a higher de gree of perfection, greater magnitude and impor tance, and within certain canons, or rules, of pro portion and form. The most poetical idea asso ciated with them has been that they represented a flame of fire, which again was emblematic, like the cypress tree, of the soul ascending to heaven." Of all European cities Rome is richest in these monu ments, no less than forty-eight of different sizes having been carried there from Egypt by the Em perors from Augustus to Constantine, the largest among them being still standing. " Mithridates, King of Pontus," the strongest man, the first t r ider, olr the first archer, the first drinker,and t.119_ gamist of the East," is the subject o . Brazil' we f Sir N B fi a r th s a i niel's article. In that on "The Empre.oftioura of the have anything but a pleasant description climate. "To live there the European mast be ac climatised ;" and the happy individual is thus described—" He has a pale . face , his strength is diminished, his appetite fails him; . he has under gone a general change, and his blood is thinner." Even then ho does not escape pulmonary r com plaints, and "only from twelve t o sixteen pe thou sand live to die of old age." The tales consist of " The Shadow of Ashlydyat," now in its eighth part, and " Granville de Vigne,” in its 17th, and there arc numerous minor articles, Bentley's Miscellany. Th e Lord Mayor of London" having passed triumphantly through the ordeals of the inaugura tion and accompanying banquet, is now assailed by family . troubles, His son and son-in-law have fallen into the hands of sharpers. The former re• quires £5,000, but has no objection to double that sum ; the latter will modestly content himself with a fifth. The Lord Mayor is disgusted and dis tressed, and Mr. Candish comes to the rescue. In A Day with the Alligators" the pains and plea sures of stalking those reptiles are described. Under the head of " The Diet and Dainties of Australian Aborigines," we have an account of the native bill of fare at the Antipodes. There, it seems, cooking is at a discount. The Australian palate is by no means nice. Quantity not quality is the requisite, and every living thing is devoured, from an alligator to a caterpillar. Dudley Costello , s " Crooked Usage," is now concluded. There is a tale called " The Irish Widow," and an article on " The Convict System in the Colonies," by Captain E. T. Du Cane, R.E, Temple Ear. " The Strange Adventures of Captain Dan gerous" are of undiminished interest. The youth having been sold to the worshipful Sir Basil Hop wood, Knight and Alderman of London, is shipped off to Jamaica, and the cabin boy dying on the passage ho is promoted to the post. Being able to take his own part, and thriving upon kicks and cuff, he gains the skipper's favour, and is by him consigned to his relation, a " mulotter" washer woman, to whom he becomes bookkeeper, and has an opportunity of studying s lavery under its good old Jamaica aspect, and some of his s tatements are calculated to afford much pleasure to the admirers of that " Institution." " The Battle of the Ethnolo gists" is a very amusing paper o n one of the vex e d questions of the day, the origin of species. " Ac cording to the development a lists who hav e go t rid of all necessity for a creation, and have by conse quence no use for a Creator, the vari ous races of men, as well as all otheranimals, grow o r gradually developed themselves in the progr ess of ages, from l o wer forms of :animal life, begi nn i ng with the i _ -ie- - d ? r I an imalcules , which seems but a point of animate existence." " Where grass is plentiful, crocodiles • would naturally become buffaloes ; but as these wander off into the forests where grass is scant, and they are obliged to browse on the branchts of trees, reaching higher and higher, their necks and legs gradually :lengthen, and the humpy little buffalo stretches up into the stately giraffe." " Cowardly-spirited animals develop good legs for running, as the elk or the antelope ; while the fierce and brave get to themselves savage claws and teeth, and, despising herbage and fruits, adopt an exclusively carnivorous diet." "Aurora Floyd" is cleverly sustained. Lucy has married Bulstrode, and the threatened storm seems about to break on Aurora's head. The writer on " Iron War Ships and Heavy Ordnance" does not approve unconditionally the Armstrong gun ; and he states one or two awkward facts in connection with it. There is an article on the International Exhibition ; and the remaining matter is of the ave rage merit, I St. James's ,11 agazine. f" Time and Space" is the subject of the first article, being a continuation of one that appeared in the last number. T o g i ve some id e a of the distances of the heavenly is bodi es , th e wr it e r says—`'The The Pole-star, which s probably well known to most of our reader:4, is more than 30 million miles nearer to us in De cember than it is in June; and yet it seems no closer to the stars in its immediate neighbourhood at the former than at th e latter per i o d . Thus 30 million miles is not much when compared to the distance of the Pole-star. To select two stars close to each other, and to observe that no changes take place in their relative positions, although we may approach them by more than 30 million miles, shows us that our distance from the sun, great as lit is, is still but an atom compared to that which separates us from the Pole-star." " Mediums" and their dupee find little favour in the sight of the writer of " Modern Mysticism and Modern Science," In "The True Founder of Virginia" we have the story of Captain John Smith, whose life was saved by the beauteous and gentle Princess Pocahontas, A review of "Les Miserables" of Victor Hugo ap pears under the head of "A Sensation Novel."

This serial still maintains its reputation as an ex ponent of the fashions, Four coloured and two plain engravings give laws for the month. THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. The attendance at the Exhibition yesterday was perceptibly influenced by the races at Newmarket, which no doubt had drawn away a large portion of the fashionable world. There were still, however, vast numbers of persons present, who seemed prin cipally to patronise the picture galleries and the raised platforms at the east and west ends of the building. Both these latter have great capabilities, and a very little expense would make them favourite resorts of the company. On the centre platform, the debris of the great orchestra is being rapidly cleared away, and the Majolica fountain is slowly rising into shape amid the ruins. Unmindful of the dust, the company gather round it, and watch its progress with considerable curiosity. With respect to the actual number of visitors attending since the opening, it does not appear that as yet any daily total is published, but, on inquiry yesterday at the proper office, we were informed that the com parative numbers which have been published as between 1851 and 1862 are erroneous, and that the success of this Exhibition surpasses the last in every particular. The total number of visitors on Mon day was 15,568, but at five o'clock we could not obtain yesterday's numbers. TudgMg from aPPear ances they would be considerably less. it is hoped that the numbers will be officially published daily, as was the case in 1851. The galleries appear to be making very slow progress, and very few visi tors venture near them, the majority seeming to be deterred by the desolate and unfinished aspect which they present when looked at from below. The slight brush which had taken place between M. Leplay and the Commissioners on the night previous to the opening, was, as might have been expected, the subject of animated discussion in the French court, but the explanations we have heard, mitigate a good deal the serious aspect which it at first assumed. It appears that the French commis sioner and his friends had snugly ensconced them selves in his bureau, intending to spend a pleasant evening, but after every one had been cleared out, and the police had been set for the night, the hilarity of the party at once surprised and alarmed the constable on duty, one of the new X's, who immediately stormed the happy garrison, and summarily cleared them out of the building. At that hour there was no official to appeal to, and the policeman would listen to nothing but his positive instructions. In the morn ing, of course, the commissioners had no difficulty in setting the matter right. There is in the French court a confident expectation that the Empress will. be an early visitor, and possibly the Emperor, but the general belief is that the Empress will come first. Some interest, apart from its artistic or ind ustrial merits, is attached to the dep artment which the energetic Americans improvised literally in the eleventh hour, close to the south-east tower. Under the enterprising direction of Mr. J. E. Holmes as commissioner, an d Mr. Seavy, as se cre t ary , th ey have got together a very respectable collection, in cluding a five painting by Kellog, several New York pia nofortes, numerous specimens o f th a t new an d i mpo rtant article of Commerce, petroleum, and a whole regiment of sewing machines, warranted to overcome all the difficulties of the needle. As a pendant to this may be mentioned the American bar, where sherry cobblers, mint juleps, and the whole long catalogue of American t , drinks" can be had prepared according to the latest New York method. Here also the Catawba wine may be tasted, but as it is uncommonly like Hock, and cannot be sold under Bs. a bottle, it is not likely in the face of the new tariff to get into very general consump tion. The bar is very extensively patronised, and as it looks into the Horticultural Gardens, is an exceedingly pleasant place for rest and refresh ment. A good deal of company is beginning to ba attracted into the Zollverein, principally to listen to the music of the orchestrion, a gigantic musical box, which plays the most elaborate overtures with very brilliant effect. We noticed also here a taste fully arranged case of penknives, but as they re sembled very closely in pattern two which Nvn bought not long since on the Luther Platz, in Konigsberg, we trust that the jurors will object them to a very strict examination before they alva!•I them a medal. The refreshment departments, both French and English, are at present working very well, well, but it is the opinion of persons ex P erle " r attend in such matters, that neither in sp t no 61 1111111 •,,• g ance will they be equal to the rush days. of ue HER OD 46121 r. It makes one gloomy to read that one-fifth of all the deaths in the year were among infants less than a year old, and that 41 per cent. of all the deaths of the City, it is maul -10 per e • were among children of less than five years old, cent. As children up to this age constitute about orie . cent., instead , which is the average f t e e s n t th th p a a t part of the clfe p a o t p t i h il e at r i a ci t n e of of the whole country. In the of rather lei than 7 per Eastern division it is 1 worse than in the whole of the City, 'I or the deaths of children under five years of age there amount to 11 per cent., while in the - Western Union the death rate is 14 per Cen t average of causes thsn di tLewhole country. But there are other disease which war against the life of children, and the very mention of which is an awful scandal to our professions of morality and religion. The recently-published report of the coroners shows that 6i - infants dun er two years of age were mur dered last year in the metropolis ; 150 more were found dead, God only knowing how many of these were wilfully robbed of the life which God had given. No less than 50 died through negligence, exposure, and want ; and in one case the mother of one of these perished babies was under 14 years of age. More than 250 infants were suffocated ; a n d of all the deaths recorded, there were during the year as many as 1,104 of infants on which coroners' inquests were held.—City Press,
