Altogether a striking contrast, this marriage ceremony at St. James's, to the regal pomp attendant upon that earlier cere mony in Westminster Abbey, the sumptuous and gorgeous ceremony of Her MAJESTY'S Coronation. With the dawn of the new year there is reason now to hope that there will be brought at length more clearly within our view the opening up of happier and brighter times to the whole [ nation. It is true that, even according to the more sanguine calculations that have been made by Lord STANLEY and others as to the probable passing away of the direr effects of this deplorable Cotton Famine in Lancashire, there wonl still remain, when 1862 has closed, and when 1863 has commenced, a full quarter of a year before there would be recognised in the north very appre ciable alleviation of the present Distress. Still — allowing this estimate to be in any moderate degree correct—the period looked forward to, four months hence, the conspicuous period when there may be seriously anticipated (if we are to credit Lord STANLEY'S most encouraging calculation) this earnestly prayed for diminution of suf fering among the factory operatives of Lancashire, will be simultaneous with the advent of the joyous spring time of 1863 when the heir to the Crown of England is to espouse the fair young Danish Princess ALEXANDRA. Regarding those two anticipations alone now reasonably before us in the early part of the approaching new year, we cannot but think there is cause enough to look forward with gladdened hearts to 1863, though we do so, yet from the midst of the national mourning for the PRINCE CONSORT, to which it might be said that its predecessor (this current year of grace, 1862) has been in a manner consecrated by the anguish of the SOVE REIGN and the sympathy of her people. Looking forward hopefully to 1863, though we do so yet from the midst of the midst of the appalling and still-increasing miseries of our sorely afflicted but brave-hearted fellow ceuntrymen in Lancashire. All our readers will be aware that we have shared the common admiration of Southern skill and bravery in war ; that we have felt the charm as much as any one of the very word " Independence," for which the South professes to be fighting ; and that we have realised to the full the delinquency of the North in regard to slavery. We have not , however—nor, we hope, have our readers—suffered ourselves lo be blinded to the real character of the contest now going on, and the real aims of the South. The present contest began on one distinct issue— the South claimed the power to carry slavery all over the yet unsettled territories belonging to the Union, affirming slavery to be the best boon of Heaven, and thevery culmination of modern civilisa tion ; the North refused to concede the claim ; demanded that all places where slavery did not yet exist should continue free-soil, affirmed slavery to be the bane of social and political life, and its gradual self-extinction the object to be sought. Defective as is the programme of the North, can any Englishman doubt for a moment which of the two he would like to see carried out ? Mr. GLAD. STONE, we observe, in a letter to Professor NEW MAN, declares that he "has not thought it his pro vince to touch on the complicated question of praise or blame"—but where is the complication ? In Professor NEWMAN'S admirable reply he shows that be the shortcomings of 'the North what they may, from an anti-slavery nation, such as we pro fess to be, and really are, it has earned, now, the olmracter of having been legislating 'in an anti slavery direction ever since the war began to be an earnest one. Let another thing be noted. Mr. BUXTON, in his speech, truly says that the meaning of the Democratic vote of the North really is, that the majority profess to make any concession to slavery provided it can rehabilitate the Union. This, however, only skews how much the Repub lican party, who have yet two years of power, deserve the warm support of England in their struggle first for free soil, and now for emancipation itself. We entirely agree with Professor NEWMAN in his able letter to Mr. GLADSTONE, nor can we conceive how Englishmen generally can fail to sympathise with it. We must confess it is with regret we notice that we have contemporaries, one of them gene rally regarded abroad as an exponent of English opinion, who convey to American minds the im pression that Englishmen, in their eager desire to see the Union broken up, are perfectly indifferent both to slavery and its extension. Surely this ought not to be. The conditions of the present contest ha - se perplexed many of us. but if one thing be more certain than another, it is that all England would hear with exultation of universal emancipation of the negroes to-morrow. We do not abate one jot of our opinion on the horrors of slavery. We know what it is at the best by too many unexceptionable testimonies. We accidentally the other day opened Mr. CHARLES DICKENS' " American Notes." They were written twenty years ago, and by a tra veller whose representations on such a subject Englishmen would assuredly accept. They were written when the present phase of the question could have no influence on his ob servations, yet even then we find Mr. DICKENS as warm in his denunciation of the monster evil as any Abolitionist of the present hour can be. It would be worth while for any of our readers to turn to the chapter on slavery in his Notes, where he discusses the sophisms current in America at that time, and attempted to be palmed off even now upon Englishmen. We refer to Mr. DICKENS, both be cause the writer is known, and his testimony could be given under no other bias than that of his English nature. But there is one point on which, as he himself remarks, be cannot be mistaken—the evidence he adduces of the cruelties perpetrated on the negroes in the South. We are often told about the horrors of a servile insurrection. Now we remember when the North threatened emancipation at the begin ning of the war the South replied that two could play at that game, and that if their negroes must be free they might themselves take the benefit of freeing them, and enlisting their aid against the North. Would that that had been their mind ! We would all have turned Southerners then. But now that the North is just about to emancipate in earnest, we hear no more of Southern emancipation but of " Servile War," of ' black savages," and " Africans" to be employed in he war, as the Indians were by our generals in the THE SUN. LONDON, FRIDAY, DEC. 5, 1862. His Royal Highness the Prince of WALES having come of age last month, will early next year be espoused to the Danish Princess ALEXANDRA. The announcement just given to the world, by order of our SOVEREIGN, authorising the celebration of the latter event at Windsor with " the utmost magni ficence," cannot fail to yield the fullest and the most heartfelt satisfaction to the loyal subjects of the Crown. It contains within it the very first inti mation of a break in that dark cloud of grief which has overshadowed the country ever since the lamented death of his late - Royal Highness, It is not, of course, that because of the lapse of time there is any diminution whatever in the regrets of the nation, any more than in the poignant, and we may be absolutely certain also, the enduring anguish of the SOVEREIGN_ It does, however, in dicate that after the lapse of a whole twelvemonth given up to evidences of unaffected and reverential sorrow on the part of all sections of the community, the QUEEN and the people, without one iota of abatement in their grateful and affectionate remembrance of all that was so truly noble and admirable in the career and character of his late Royal Highness—will turn now with more cheerful emotions towards the future — hoping and praying from their inmost hearts that the eldest son of that venerated " Father of our Kings to be," may emulate in his whole life that of H. R. H. the late PRINCE CONSORT. In some respects it is almost matter of regret that the ceremonials of the marriage of the Prince of WALES with the Princess ALEXANDRA of Denmark will not take place among the loyal inhabitants of the metropolis. 1862 having passed by without the capital having one fleeting glimpse of the Court, without the customary aid to its prosperity occa sionally derived from what is called the Season — that Social System of which the Court is, as it were, the Central Luminary—it might have been wished that London and Westminster would have wit nessed, according to precedent, the espousals of the heir to the Crown. Nevertheless, while venturing to remark thus, we cannot but recognise, upon the instant, the touching significance of the exceptional selection made now by the QUEEN herself, when naming Windsor as the scene of the marriage ceie mony. Windsor being chosen—who can doubt it? who does not comprehend this upon the first moment of the announcement ?—Windsor being chosen chiefly for the one sufficient and affect ing reason that it is nearest to the death place, to the grave, to the inanimate remains of " ALBERT the Good," the beloved Father, the lamented Hus band ! Apart even from that all-sufficient plea in favour of an exceptional selection like this of St. George's Chapel at Windsor, as the structure in which the Prince and Princess of WALES shall be united in marriage—there is an obvious reason in favour of such a preference over the little Chapel Royal at St. James's, on the mere score of con venience. For a ceremony of Royal magnificence, like the one about to be prepared, St. George's Chapel at Windsor is certainly in every respect more suitable than the comparatively insignificant Chapel Royal here in town, within the homely walls of which these stately pageants have, during so many successive reigns, been crowded together. There at Windsor the projected conduct of the marriage ceremony with the utmost magnificence (according to the express man date of the SOVEREIGN), is a, result in some measure at least capable of achievement. Whereas at St. James's the accomplishment of any s uch design is an exploit, we take it, in every way just absolutely beyond the reach of realization. Those who witnessed—not so very many years since—the than u Score of happy marriage ceremony whi c h un it e d t oge ther for more ranee thseolcermaren still vividly an within their re memb a eventful years our bel oved QUEEN and his late R o yal High- ness, will retain and or import o were m a d e one .

The blacks are as un revengeful, and as gentle, as - the Indians aro remorseless and cruel. But, lastly, let the reader look et the following list of advertisements selected by Mr. thcKENs himself from long columns of them twenty years ago,—and slav er y has not grown milder since,—and ask himself—the real cause of any apprehension the planters 1113rE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER:4'S, 11262 may feel. We think the answer will be that it is " conscience which makes cowards of them all." Here is a casual selection from the long list — Ran away, Negress Caroline. Had on a collar with one prong turned down. Ran away, a black woman Betsy. Had an iron bar on her right leg. Ran away, the negro Manuel. Much marked with irons. Ran away, the negtess Fanny. Had en an iron band about her neck. Ran away, a negro boy about twelve years old. Had round his neck a chain dog-collar with 'De Lampert' en graved on it. RAn away, the negro Hewn. Has a ring of iron on his left foot. Also Grise, kis wife, having a ring and chain on the left leg, Ran away, a negro boy named James. Said boy was ironed when he left me• Committed to jail, a man who calls his name John. He has a clog of iron on his right foot which will weigh four or five pounds. D e t a ined at the police jail, the negro wench Myra.

I tried to make the letter M. Ran away, a negro man named Henry ; his left eye out, some scars from a dirk on and under his left arm, and much scarred with the whip.

He was shot a short time since through the hand, and has several shots in his loft arm and find Hungary. side. Ran away, my negro man Dennis. Said negro has been shot in the loft arm between the shoulder and elbow, which has paralysed the loft hand. Ran away, my negro man named Simon. Ho has been shot badly, in his back and right arm. Ran away, a nor° named Arthur. Has a considerable scar across his breast, and each arm, made by a knife ; loves to talk much of the goodness of God. Twenty-five dollars reward for my man Isaac. Ile has a scar on his forehead, caused by a blow ; and one on his back, made by a shot from a pistol. Ran away,,a negro girl called Mary. Has a small scar over her eye, a good many teeth missing, the letter A is branded on her cheek and forehead. Ran away, negro Ben. Has a scar on his right hand ; his thumb and forefinger being injured by being shot last fall. A part of the bone came out. He has also one or two large scars on his back and hips. Detained at the jail, a mulatto named Tom. Has a scar on the right cheek, and appears to have been burned with powder on the face. Fifty dollars reward, for my fellow Edward. He has a scar on the corner of his mouth, two cuts on and under his arm, and the letter E on his arm. Ran away, negro boy Ellie. Has a scar on one of his arms from the bite of a dog. Ran away, from the plantation of James Surgotte, the bllowing negroes ; Randal, has one ear cropped ; Bob, has Lost one eyo ; Kentucky Tom, has one jaw broken. There can be no doubt that the temper, indi- cated by these facts, is ono from which the poor negroes, valuable as they are, suffer to this hour. Yet, so docile, humourous, goodnatured, are they as a class, that we believe the memory of past cruelties will be utterly forgotten, and there will not be the shadow of danger from Emancipation. The dlnger will only be from coercing them to slavery when they know they ought to be free. The coercionists alone will be the cause of any up rising. EXETER HALL—Handers Oratorio, " Judas Maccabeus," will be given by the National Choral Society next Wednesday, with a band and chorus numbering nearly 700 performers, under the direction of Mr. G. IL Martin. Mr. Sims Reeves will, on this occasion, make his first appearance in Exeter Hall this season, and will sing " Sound an alarm,' "Call forth thy powers," &c. ; and on the 15th, will sing in the Christmas performance of the " Messiah "—these being the only two occasions which Mr. Reeves will sing in Exeter Hall before Christmas. Pre parations are being made by the National Choral Society for a series of performances in aid of the Lancashire Dis tress Fund. _ _ . _ _ The departure from Paris of the Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne, Ambassador to the Court of 'Acme, is again adjourned ; the Prince, who is at present at Com pegte, is not to embark at Marseilles until Monday next, the Bth inst. The writ for the election at Totness has been received, and the sheriff has fixed the nomination for Mon day; the polling will of course take place on the following day. • GUAM CATTLE SIIOw.— At the alinual meeting of the subscribers, held yesterday, the Mayor (Charles Sturge, Esq.), in the chair, the Earl of Chester field was elected pre . sident for the ensuing year. INIURDER ON SHIPBOA/tD.—Matthevir Moore, a seaman on board the American ship It. L. Lane, was deli vered into the custody of United States' Marshal Murray, yesterday, together with five others of the crew. It ap • pears that on the first day of the present month the crew of the It. L. Lane mutinied. Captain Bryer, who was in command of the ship, ran forward to ascertain the nature of the difficulty, Moore and another seaman named Patsoy met the captain, and attacked him with knives, wounding him so severely as to cause death on the succeeding cfliy. Mr. Leonard, the first mate of the vessel, seized a hand sprit and struck Patsey a powerful blow on the head, just as he was about stabbing the captain a third time. The blow was so terrific as to scatter his brains about the dock and produce instant death. Moore and five others of the ringleaders were then secured and brought to this port. An examination will be had in the matter on Monday. Mean • time the prisoners are locked up in the Tombs.—New York World, Nov. 22. AN INGENIOUS DEVICE.--Tomkins (to Mrs. T., who is nervous about robbers) : " There, my dear, we'll stick that up in the garden while I'm in the City, and I think you may mate yourself easy about robbers for the future."

TILE STOCK OF COTTON.—The stock of cotton continues to wane slightly at Liverpool, but the movement of affairs during the current quarter shows that on the whole matters have been pretty well sustained, the consumption having been at last brought within the bounds of the supply. Annexed is the movement of the stox in October and No vember, as compared with the corresponding weeks of 1861 and 1822 : 1862. 1861. 1860. Bales. Bales. Bales.

The consumption this year has therefore been reduced to less than huff the e duced demand of 1861, and any effort to extend it would have speedily annihilated the stock. It is cheering, how ever, to find that the receipts from all quarters are extend ing, even the driblets'from America having shown a ten dency to increase of late. AFFAIRS IN VIRGINIA.—TIIO couleur de rose which was attempted to be put upon the aspect of affairs in Virginia after the removal of M'Clellan has vanished already. Burnside finds it impossible to advance, and the probability of his going into winter quarters at Fredericks burg is discussed, the Radicals having gone so far as to say that if Burnside wills it they will bo content, It is dis covered that our armies in Virginia outnumber the rebels but 50,000, a preponderance that will be lost, and perhaps reversed, as the army advances towards Richmond. So desperate is the situation that the Radicals are urging the Government to call out the uniformed militia of the middle and eastern States, in order that the troops at Washington may swell Burnside's force. The inactivity of the navy is also exciting serious complaints.—New York World. How HE ESCAPED THE DRAUGHT.—Tha Reading (Pennsylvania) Times says :—" It is well known that Com missioner Knapp was very precise and exact in his proceed ings, always keeping an eye to the interest of the country, while dealing honourably w ith all. Now, it happe ned that among the able-bodied men draughted from on e of the Heidelbergs there was an obese specimen of humanity, but whom the chances hit as one of the elect. When he received his ticket for draught' he hastened to Reading, and, know ing where lived the cutest specimen of a lawyer, he went straight to his (Ace. Said he I'm draughted."

MILAn, DEC. 4, Evening. The Alleanza of to-day publishes an article signed by Kossuth, recommending the : Italian Government to direct all its efforts towards Venice TURIN, DEC. 4. The lists of Ministerial combinations in circula tion yesterday arc either premature or unfounded. Signor Pasolini has been received by the King, It is still said that Signor Cassinis will enter the new Cabinet, but only as Minister of Justice. For the portfolio of the Interior two names are put forward—Signor Daffitto, Prefect of Genoa, and Signor Berretti, Syndic of Milan. It is asserted that Signor Pasolini would under take the Presidency of the Council and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The journals continue to discuss the question whether the new Cabinet should consist of members who had held themselves aloof from the recent Parliamentary conflict. EVENING. The Disc ussione of this evening says : " If our information is correct, the new Ministry will be a political one, composed of men who have gained reputation in Parliament, although abstain ing from party conflicts." The same paper believes that the new Cabinet will be supported by a majority, including the sup porters of Signor Rattazzi. The article concludes " Should personal ambition prolong the present crisis, the King would in that case know how to find the way to the hearts of his subjeuts." ATHENS, DEC. 1. The Russian Minister has communicated to M. Bulgaris the opinion of his Government that the principles of the Protocol signed by the protecting Powers in 1830 should be upheld. FRANCE.

The Emperor of Russia is likely to pass the remainder of this month in Moscow, where extra ordinarypreparations have been made for preventing excesses or disturbances. A few days ago a squad ron of Lancers of the Guard, which is stationed in St. Petersburg, mutinied. All the privates and non• commisesoned officers are now in chains and in prison, and they will soon be brought before a court-martial, which is to be formed of members of the Staff of the Imperial Guard. Many of the " circles" in Russian Poland have proteste d against the immoderate levy of recruits in the kingdom. Between the years 1831 and 1856, 11,000 men were raised in the circle of Pioszkow, and of that number no more than 400 have ever returned. Things are going on badly in the Danubian Principalities, and it is here be lieved that Prince Couza will soon get into serious difficulties. There is a deficit of 16,000,000 piastres, although the revenue is neary four times as large as it was a few years ago, and the people, therefore, justly complain of the nnthriftiness of their rulers. In a few days Prince Yypsilanti and his young wife—nee Sin—will leave this city for Athens. _ The Modenese Brigade, of which it has recently so often been the question, is now composed of 3,300 men. During two whole years this brigade has been living at the expense of the subjects of his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, and it is not yet known when it will be sent out of.the country.

TO THE POLISH CENTRAL NATIONAL COMMITTEE - BnoTirEns,—We received, with deep feelings of joy, your address of the Ist September. A.c . by which you proclaim yourselves " The Polish National Government," under the title of " The Polish Central National Com mittee." We perceive at last, in this act of yours, the result of the_ sacrifices and labours of more than a quarter of a century, the ripe fruit of the blood profusely spilled, both on your as well as on our part, on the soil of our beloved country. This overt act of yours, under the very bayonets of mad dened tyranny, in the face of Poland prepared for a conflict, in the face of Europe in revolution, Russia included, who is now tendering to us her fraternal hand by her liberal minded sons, is a proof of the boldness of action, at the bead of which you have placed yourselves, and the entire reQpobsibility of which rests upon you. We also welcome, and do acknowledge you, as the leaders in the efforts to break the fetters of slavery of our beloved Mother Poland, and will consider, henceforth, every individual or collective attempt to set them selves up for the leaders of the country, wherever made be yond your jurisdiction, as criminal, perpetrated contrary to the country's and our own wish and will. Forward, brothers, proceed on your onward course, for who once placed himself at the head on the road of action ' is not allowed to stop under penalty of a perilous over throw. Advance, then, boldly, without looking behind you ; ad vance abreast with the people of Poland, whose heart throbbings and hitherto immaculate virtue will inspire and increase the power and might of the idea, which ought to guido you in your onward progress. Listen to public opinion, and you will not deviate from the right path. Offer your hand sinteroly and cordially to our fellow brethren of the Slavonic race; impart to them the convic tion that in starting for the struggle we will now combat, as wo always did, for "Our and their freedom and inde pendence," Tender your hands and hearts to those free nations where the people wield the sovereign power. Enter into an alliance with th e E uro p ean involutions, and scorn all diplomatic temptations, for, inasmuch as the former is o ur natural ally, so is the latter our mortal enemy. The d i gg er who put Poland into the grave will never restore it. God, the then, without rest or repose , in the n ame of God, the country, an d th e f ree dom of the people, an d be assured that in that course we shall never forsake you.

A writer in a contemporary says :—Raving just received from a reliable source a list of the iron-clad fleet of the Federal States of America, either already completed or in course of construction, I beg to send you a copy of it for publication, if you think fit. Those ships against which au asterisk is placed are considered by American as well as by English naval officers who have had so oppoiiaoity of judg ing to be more or less failures : With regard to the remainder, my corre:iponflent remarks that, although few or perhaps none of those ships are calculated to cross the Atlantic, they are well able, in the event of a foreign war, to protect their own coast against a blockading squadron in moderate weather, while in had weather the ele ments would do their -work for them.

EARL RUSSELL.—The noble Secretary of State fot Foreign Affairs has been confined to Pembroke Ledge, Richmond-park, during the week, by a severe cold.

MORE GARoTTING.---Yesterday morning, between 12 and 1 o'clock, Mr. George Leader, a theatrical employes was going to his residence at Paddington, when, in passing through a narrow thoroughfare called Manor-lane, he was accosted by a woman, who importuned him for drink. Mr. Leader passed on, the woman following up behind, when, on reaching the end of the lane, he was suddenly confronted by a man wearing a white smock. frock. He was at the same time seized round the throat from behind and thrown to the ground, the woman kneeling upon his throat, while the man rifled his pockets. They then gave him a blow on the head which stunned him. On recovering he managed to get to the police-station, and several officers went input , suit of his assailants. It was near the same spot that Mr. Shalders, the comedian, was garotted, dying subsequently from tho effects. Yesterday morning Michael Garretty, residing in W e bber-street, Lambeth, expired from the effect of injuries inflicted upon him by garotters in the St. George's-road, Southwark, on Saturday night. A young woman, named Jane Stokes, living in Belvedere-road, has, it is said, just expired from injuries sustained in passing through Stamford- street. THE INSECURE .STATE OF THE METROPOLIS.—At a meeting of the vestry of St. George's, Hanover-square, yesterday, the vestry clerk read the memorial adopted by the vestry of Paddington, calling the attention of the Home Secretary to the alarming increase of garotting in the me tropolis, asking the sanction of that vestry to the memorial. The general opinion of the meeting seemed to be that the memorial was not strong enough, and that the ticket of leave system was not sufficiently condemned. It was re solved to agreed to the Paddington memorial, and to draw up a second memerial to the Home Secretary, praying that convicts under sentence should be no longer pampered with such liberal 'diets, and in all other respects treated better than paupers, that-the ticket of leave system should be abo lished; and the sentences should be fully carried out. THREE PERSONS DROWNED. A lamentable accident occurred in the neighbourhood of Auchinleck on the afternoon of Sunday. last. It appears that a young man named John Williamson, a miner, from Govan, and Mar garet . Diniffie, hOnsekeeper to the Rev. Mr. Wallace, Ca tholic priest at Old Cumnock, were at tea at her uncle's house at Cornmondyke. They left this house about half past six o'clock, accompanied by Jean Diniffie, Margaret's cousin, and some others, for the purpose of calling at a sister's house, within a distance of IGO yards. Between the two houses there was an old quarry, and, as it was covered with ice, they ventured on it to slide across, when, melan choly to relate, they all, to the number of five, fell in, and only two got out alive. The unfortunate sufferers were John Williamson and the two cousins, Margaret and Jean Diniffie. Upwards of an hour elapsed ere the bodies were recovered. Williamson and Margaret Diniffie were betrothed and were to have been married at the newyear. This melan choly event has caused a great sensation in the usually quiet neighbourhood. Oiihß FORTY TIVE.—The other day a rough looking customer appeared before one of the Military Com missiOners and said, Mr. Commissioner, I am over 45. How old are you?—l don't know how old 1 am, but lam over 45. In what year did you make your first appearance in this mundane sphere P—l don't know what you mean, but lam over 45.

'Well, I will exempt you.—l don't care whether you do or not ; I am a foreigner—besides I have a wooden leg; and he went stumping into the street, swear ing oaths not called for by the Commissioner.—Nov York Tribune. NATIONAL SONG.—The spirit of the world was young when music was made the handmaid of religion ; and it still affords a glimpse of that antiquity to know that deeds of heroism and valour were sanctified in song, and that music completed the glory of the inauguration and the fes tival. Whethei. at the Olympic, Pythian, NomGan, and Isthmian games, or at the victories of Romulus, 750 years before Christ, when the army, horse and foot, followed the chariot of the conqueror, hymning their gods in songs of their country ; or whether at the marriage feast or the fune ral prayer, the charm of music still predominates,---iuter• weaves itself with the fate and circumstances of man, and creeps into his heart like a sunbird seeking for a home. It is this power which rouses a rude peasantry from the leth argy of serfdonito repossess themselves of liberties long lititct, under the impulse of their national melodies.

AINSWORTH'S NEW STORY. Tho following brilliant portraitures are taken from the first instalment of the new historical Romance just commenced by Mr. Ainsworth in the December number of Bentley's Miscellany. " Car dinal Pole"—is the title of it—" or the Di%ys of Philip cud Mary." Here is the novelist's sketch of the Hero of the nairative— TEE CARDINAL. Nu man of his time por- , snssed higher and nobler'qualities than the illustrious Reginald Pole. Sanctity of manners, erudition, wisdom, eloquence, combined to render him one of the most shining lights of the age. Devout without bigotry, tolerant, strictly conscientious, and pure-minded, he was utterly free from debasing passions. Guile and -pocrisy formed no part of his character. SGlfTdenying, abstinent, and laborious, ho was ever generous and chant ablo. Descended from the royal house of York, his mother being Margaret, Countess of Salisbury, daughter of the Duko of Clarence, brother to Edward IV., Pole attached no undue importance to this adventitious circumstance, but main tained an almost apostolic meakness of deportment. At the advanced period of life he had attained at the period of cur history, his looks were in the highest degree vener able and impressive, offering a complete index to his cha racter. A master of the Latin language, which hr spoke and wrote with facility and classical elegance, he had delighted in earlier years in the Greek poets and philosophers, but of late had confined his studies wholly to theology. At one time ho had enjoyed the favour of Henry VIII., who was fully alive to his great merits, but he incurred the displeasure of the tyrant by the bold opinions he delivered as to the injustice of Katherine of Aragon's divorce and the king's marriage with Anne Boleyn. This opposition to his 'will was never forgiven by • the implacable monarch, and unable to get Polo, who had taken refuge in Italy, into his power, he deprived him of his benefice and possessions, declared him guilty of high treason, laid a price on his head, and sought to procure his assassination. At last, unable to accomplish his fell pur pose, Henry wreaked his vengeance on the Cardinal's mother, the venerable Countess of Salisbury—the last of the whole blood of the royal line of Plantagenet—on his brother, Henry Polo, Lord Montague, Sir Edward Nevil, Sir Nicholas Carew, and other of his friends, all of whom were attainted of high treason, and brought to the block. The slaughter of the aged and unoffending Countess, whr) was only put to death because she was Pole's mother, ' is, per haps. the deepest stain on Henry's character. These whole sale murders deeply afflicted Pole, and cast a gloom over the rest of his days ; but he did not cry out for ven geance upon the perpetrator of the foul crimes, knowing that Heaven would requite him in due season. How requited his eminence was, shortly afterwards the romancist immediately goes on to relate, by the election of Cardinal Pole as the new Pope on the death of Paul 111. in 1549—an offer of the tiara snatched back from his reach, however, during his momentary hesitation about the acceptance of it! Another still more startling recompense to Cardinal Pole for his past misfortunes being the astounding offer to him by Queen Mary of her hand, and, of course, with it a share of her throne ! The Cardinal (like Antonelli nowadays) being only a Deacon : and a dispensation being talked of at the time as just possibly capable of being procured from the reigning Pontiff. Cardinal Pole himself, however, is described as simplifying the ditficulv b y respect fully, though gratefully, declin . ,og the alliance• Here, however, is Mr. Ainswocth's first mention Of he royal hero of his new story :-- PHILIP OF SPAIN. Philip, who was then a widower--his wife, Dona Marie, Princess of Portugal, having died in 1545, in giving birth to a son, Don Carlos—readily acquiesced in his father '0 seheme, as he fully recognised the vast importance of the match, and Mary alone had to be consulted. But little apprehension could be entrtained of her refusal. All th a advantages were on the Prince's side. Elevan years younger than the Queen, who was then thirty-eight, Philip was tiot merely in the very flower of manhood, but ex' tremely handsome, and, as heir to a mighty monarchy, questionably the greatest match in Europe. No princess' however exalted, on whom he deigned to smile, would r° ^ fuse him her hand. --- --- Although no more than the three opening chapters of the romance make up the first instalment of it/ adorning the current number of Bentley, it eve rl now gives promise of proving one of its indefatir able author's most brilliant performances. ST., THOMAS'S HOSPITAL-A NETV FREAK. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Strt,—Cart there be any foundation fr.,. the in credible rumour that, after their extraordinary gyrations on behalf of their hobby of country air and sanitary specialities, the managing gentlemen at St. Thomas's have it now in contemplation to transplant the institution to (of all places in th e , world !)—Myatt's Kitchen Gardens. It may be that the report is spread by somata °. tious idler, who, knowing that the public is Po' pared for any amount of erratic exhibitions on th e part of the committee, is amusing himself with e% . poriments as to the extent of absurdity a nd ihe°ll' sistency which people think them capable of. • ' ts But, to deal seriously with a serious sub o l ie c , s There does appear now reason to believe that new scheme has been entertained by them. They thus stultify all their recent proceedings and P r r f : t e stations, and especially the " arguments" of se e d complacent Dr. Turle, so gratuitously pitc hfer' be into their report, and so effectually confuted V t medical officers of the hospital ; byDr. Brist°7ii; Mr. De Morgan, Mr. Risdon Bernett, cuni aliis, as well as by the hole weight of s eieht w opinion and common sense. vfit h Myatt's grounds consist of a piece of lan rich, damp, clay soil—a kind of soil which, W b ,: o t excellently adapted for brickmaking and lux hri t he strawberries, is in commensurate ratio unfit ter. tieo site of a new hospital. It is , moreove r, in aP I t he bringing it undesirably into contact With noxious unfragrant atmospheric influences t v ireo loped from the manufacturing districts of oso Lambeth—an objection which one would Pu 9 pro, potential in the eyes of Mr. Baggalay and hio. sylvan friends. A railway viaduct runs Wit'cor sounding din through the property, and the ch irp pang have formed an extensive de p ot, au CO o they may at any time construct ranges o f av a ovens. I need not expatiate on the fragrantoe salubrious odours inevitably associated with 4.0 o p e rations, and how enlivening must be the effeheirty the surrounding air! To conclude—this P°P l , O O. is, as compared with the present site of th e TV pital, virtually isolated from great roads' ou ch latter are literally in the centre ef 0 ,19 avenues of approach, whilst there ar e oce of two main roads within a reasonable Oteaccare Myatt's grounds.
