During several years past Sir EDWARD BULWER LYTToIi has conspicuously represented his own county in the House of Commons. As one of the representatives of Hertfordshire the right hon. baronet has sat alternately upon the Treasury Bench and the Front Seat of the Opposition. Since first returned as M.P. for Herts, it is true that not very much more than a single decade has elapsed. A considerable period no doubt in the life of any one individual, but, in the history of nations, very little more, so to speak, than one single stroke of the pendulum. Yet, within that narrow compass, within the time consumed by that solitary vibra tion, how much has there not occurred at home and abroad, in Europe, Asia, Africa, America, and Aus tralia, alike in the old and in the new hemisphere, to alter, to modify, to advance, and to develope the destinies of the human race! Reflexions—these--which are not unnaturally suggested by that momentary glance of retrospect, within the scope of which so many notable events in the history of the world were embraced as in a microcosm, when Sir EDWARD LYTTON, at the commencement of his speech yesterday at Hertford, recalled to the recollection of his hearers his first political address to them as his constituents, in that same room, in that same town, the homely old Town Hall of Hertford. Summing up together in a very few words the most salient among these events, a task readily accomplished within the com pass of two or three sentences, the right hon ourable baronet can hardly be thought, even by the most matter-of-fact amongst us, to have spoken of them in any way, in terms of exaggera tion—where he observed that " they constitute one of the most remarkable epochs in the history of the world." When it is remembered what is revealed upon the enumeration of even a comparatively small proportion of these memorable occurrences, it will certainly be apparent that the estimate thus formed of their importance, so far from partaking, in any way, of the characteristic of exaggeration is, in simple and literal truth, very much indeed within the mark. " Since then," said Sir BULWER LYTTON, referring to the date of his first participation in the public affairs of that county, " Since then [among other things] France has undergone three revolu tions—the fall of the constitutional monarchy, the stormy interlude of a democratic republic, and•the restoration of a military empire. The o ld rulers of Lombardy, of Tuscany, and of Naples have disappeared, and the map of the world has been altered in order to admit of the intro • duction of the kingdom of Italy. Austria, long cipl ; t o l ? ha ughtiest representative of the prin 'absolute monarchy, has commenced the experim ent of constitutional government. And Russia has laid the foundation of a new political and social ex i ste labour and nee in recognising the value of free a bolishin g th e i n stitution of serfdom. China has op ene d her Ports to ou r merchants, and her capital to our - a mbassadors. We ourselves have twice gone through th e siege of Sebastopol calamities of war in the and the suppression of the Indian revolt. And We have been twice reminded this evening that the great republi c which boasted a superb exemption from the perils perils and the evils which beset ancient states and that ar struggle,i m o narchical 1 t w f o a r imin in of government has been violentl y rent s p a a sio n a te Ai.d whatever may be the issue of h which we see at present only a lavish expenditure of blood end treasure, still there is no i bystander who can believe that the Union can ever be restored, and no fir-sighted politician w h o can Suppos.e that the curse of slavery can long survive that separation, of which it is the most ostensible though not the only , n or perlops the most powerful, cause." A marvellous reco rd, this, even of itself :yet one which by no moans contains within it the whole of the wonderful occurrences which the his torian of after times will have to relate as having illustrated so resplendsely, and advanced so ap preciably, in the very heart; of the nineteenth cen turYi the onward me I rch of modern civilisation. Those three revolutions of France, which Sir BIM- WER LYTTON has so aptly characterised as the fall of a Constitutional Monarchy, the interlude of a Democratic Republic, and the restoration of a Mili tary Despotism! That transformation of the Map of Europe, to admit of the introduction of the Italian Kingdom in lieu of the effete and now abolished rule of Austria in Lombardy, of the Grand Duke in Tuscany, and of the BOURBON King in the Two Sicilies! That commencement (at least) by Austria of a change from Absolute Monarchy to a resemblance, however feeble and remote, to ConstitutionalGovern meat ! That spontaneous emancipation by the Rus sian Autocrat of 20,000,000 of serfs ! That Crimec n repulsion of the late Czar (NICHOLAS) by the Western Powers, in armed alliance, to prevent the calamity of a Russian occupation of Constantinople ! That reconquest of our vast Asiatic Empire, a reconquest literally effected by the suppression of the deadly mutiny of the Sepoys in Bengal ! That successful accomplishment of our third war against the Chinese ! This fierce and lamentable Civil War n ow raging in the American Republic, rending the Confederation in twain, and thus preparing (we are no less persuaded of the fact than Sir EDWARD LYTTON avows himself to be), for the inevitable abolition in the end of the accursed institution of Slavery! Important to the last degree though these events are they are not by any means the only occurrences which have marked the epoch within the narrow interval of which they have been massed together. Not alone, for example, at the opposite ex- tremity of this Eastern hemisphere has China, after an insulation from the rest of the world during so many preceding centuries, been opened up at last to the influence of European civi lisation—but precisely the same result has been brought about in regard to the vast, and wealthy, and thickly peopled, and (in an Asiatic sense) highly civilised island empire of Japan ! An empire peopled, at the least it is estimated, by some 30,000,000! The seas having been traversed and explored in every conceivable direction—but two regions of the habit able globe still remained, until lately, the merest blanks upon MERCATOR'S Chart of the Two hemispheres : and these two till recently untrodden regions have been at length penetrated by ad venturous travellers. The benevolent Dr. DAVID LITINGSTONE has advanced more than once towards the centre of the great African continent. The ill fated O'HARA BURKE, and his companions, have chivalrously sacrificed their lives, in passing across the whole width of the gigantic island, or rather continent of Australasia. The problematic question as to the existence of a North-West Passsage has at length been answered in the affirmative, though in solving this notable problem M'CLURE only did so by advancing, when too late, along the fatal track left by the footsteps of tie devoted FRANKLIN. Within this same interval of but little more than one decade, of certainly not more than three ever-memorable lustres— the interests of commerce have been advanced by two wholly dissimilar occurrences—first of all, by the triumph of Free Trade principles, and, secondly, and in a very subordinate but in a very appreci able way, nevertheless, by the discovery in rapid succession of immense supplies of gold in Cali fornia, in Australia, and, finally, in Sir BULWER LYTTON'S own colony, the noble colony he called into existence, and rapidly organised, during his brief tenure of office as Her Britannic MAJESTY'S Colonial Secretary, the colony of British Columbia. During this same epoch—no matter for how brief a time, at any rate for " a time "—science enabled America and Europe to be in instant communica tion under the depths of the mighty Atlantic. Continent speaking with continent, at the distance of three thousand miles, through that magical metallic fibre of the submarine Elec tric Telegraph I If for nothing else, the epoch we have just passed through would be nobly and affectingly worthy of remembrance for that one sublime incident—.-when the ends of the earth, thus brought into instantaneous communication, there was flashed along the bed of the ocean, as the first signal worthy of being thus transmitted from man to man, Gloria in excelsis Deo—a cry of adoration from Humanity, rising to heaven thus literally De Profundis ! For the sug gestion of these, and many other impres sive recollections, the more reflective will have reason to thank Sir BuLWER LYTTON for that luminous glance of retrospect with which he intro duced his otherwise, for the most part, colloquial, occasionally humorous, and towards the end (when referring to the loss sustained by the nation from the death of the late lamented PRINCE CONSORT) graceful and genial address to his old friends and constituents down at Hertford. The two Chancellors of the Exchequer—the one who sneered at the Free-trade " wisdom of Par lia - ment," and the one who has completed the eman cipation of trade, have each in his way been re ceiving public ovations, and each appropriately. Mr. DISRAELI has been toasted by the Bucks farmers, Mr. GLADSTONE by the busy traders of the north. Each has had three days of it, Mr. DISRAELI three somewhat distant days, and at three agricul tural meetings for his one little county. Mr. GLADSTONE three corseoutive days for the populous boroughs connected :with the great trade of the coal districts. Mr. DISRAELI has lectured on agricultural matters to those who knew better about them than himself, and gained cheers by defending prizes for long and faithful service. His triumphant competitor could discuss the great facts of trade and commerce with those who recognised in him one who could teach them something, and who, instead of offering degrading prizes to work ing men, had done more than any living man to enable Working men to earn that sweetest of prizes to us all, good wa g es for good work. Mr. DISRAELI could not, that we know of, tell the a g ric u l turists of more than one service he ever proposed to render them—that of taking off half the malt duty, which assuredly would not have put half-a-crown into any of their pockets. Mr. GLADSTONE this week could have pointed to tens of thousands of con sumers of malt liquors, and have told any Bucks yeoman, who dared venture so far from home, that his policy, by making all these men consumers of malt, had done more to raise the price of barley than could have been accomplished by .any reduction of duty. If we compare the two demonstrations it might be a little unfair. The Bucks farme rs did what they could. The population of the Tyne did no more. Still there was certainly a fundamental difference between the two sets of men in relation to their respective heroes. Old Bucks and young Bucks, at Salthill and other places, could not, if asked, have told what in the world they cheered for. The Hon. BENJAMIN DISRAELI is no "good old English gentleman"—they did not fill their bum pers to a representative JOHN BULL. He was no farrier ; they could not cheer his agricultural exa mple , He had never rendered them the slightest fiscal s erv i ce ; they could not cheer him for stamps on their c h eques. To be sure, he was, as the monu ment raised by his own wife reminded them, " sixth time knight of the shire," but none knew better than these worthy yeomen that " the shire" meant the landlords. He was no knight of theirs. Had they independent votes—could they appeal to „ ,:i ,. ,, n ., 7 ,, .Nr . l., ,”: 0 ,1 au l• - u,A 4 ...,, i -' , ::;'‘ .., ;• . .;: ' , 3- ",= , .‘, .

Why did they cheer, then ? We can _conceive of no other reason than that of their being in the presence of their landlords, and Mr. DISRAELI being their landlords' man. Altogether different were the cheers at New castle, Shields, Sunderland, Middlesborough. If the artillery, the music, the shouts of the multitudes along the quays and river sides, and the shipping dressed in flags, in honour of the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the day, differ so much from the quiet, after-dinner cheers of tenants-at-will at the Bucks meetings, there was all the reason in the world for it. Every man knew why he cheered. Every man who cheered would have given his vote by ballot for Mr. GLADSTONE, if Mr. GLADSTONE needed his vote to secure him a seat in Parliament. Every one of the masses of employers and employed knew that his wages or income were the better for the system which the member for Bucks and his party opposed, and for which Mr. GLADSTONE had to fight no ordinary battle. All had heard of the snarling of the Tory party at the French Treaty, though the constituents of many of them compelled their members to support it, sadly to the grief of the latter. Many would remember the hypo crisy with which the opponents of Protection taunted Mr. GLADSTONE and Mr. COBDEN for making a commercial treaty at all, and in their new-born love for free trade carped at the only possible mode by which the French EMPEROR, without a political coup d'etat, could introduce free trade into France. All had heard how, amidst Tory growling, Mr. GLADSTONE had forced the treaty on the squires, and they reasonably enough glorified in their triumph the great successor to the apostles of free trade. The three days' meetings, addresses, and galas were the exuberance of intelli gent gratitude—not cheering to landlords' order. A Chancellor of the Exchequer—the great tax imposer of his day—is not the member of the Go vernment whom the taxpayers would most naturally be expected to cheer. But Mr. GLADSTONE is no ordinary tax-imposer. His faith is rather in abolishing than in imposing taxes. It has been his to sweep the tariff almost clear of taxes, and to abolish excise duties, and yet to sustain the revenue of the country, while at the same time he lowered the income tax also. Thirty-three millions, in round numbers, was the six months revenue, before his great reductions ; thirty-three millions is the six months revenue, in the corresponding six months of this year! And even this broad statement gives but an imperfect illustration of the working of the GLADSTONE system of finance. Giving ns one of his careful calculations and making every allowance, notwithstanding the repeal of the paper and hop duties, and of a penny in the income tax, the articles which are left taxed, have produced a clear £600,000 more than they did previously. And this is the man whom the DISRAELIS and the STAFFORD NORTHCOTES, without a particle :of financial genius, themselves, carp at, nibble at, and denounce as a dangerous and rash man ! Danger ous Mr. GLADSTONE is—but it is to those who, after a twelvemonth's trial by the nation of his plan, shall attempt to drive him from his post. The French treaty was naturally a prominent topic with all parties, and of course with the great orator himself. He had a right to be proud of it. He gave indeed the highest places to Mr. CoBDEN and the Emperor of the FRENCH, and not a little honour to his chief, and to the Foreign Secretary. But he could give the fairest and tallest share of honour to others without lessening his own. He had done the chief work in the first assembly of the world ; Mr. GORDEN had shared the spleen of a great daily journal for his association with him, but he had to bear all the gnashing of teeth, face to face with it, of exasperated and interested parties and partisans. He had to meet all the protectionist prophesyings and evil omens, while as yet he could have no facts where with to rebuke the false prophets. He now has his reward. They are but too glad to slink away from their old position, to forget all their vaticinations of evil; and to rehearse the story of the blessings of the treaty, as if they had never denounced it as a curse I We pity them. What can they do ? A fair eleven or twelve months' trial stands before these old prophets of curses—and the treaty points to an unquestionable doubling—more than doubling of our trade with our nearest neigh bour. It has changed a trade of nine millions and a half into a trade of twenty -one millions ! This eleven millions and a half of trade is just what England would have lost had Lord DERBY and Mr. DISRAELI been in office when the French treaty as made. That eleven millions and a half is just the bare comma' cial value, in one direction only of PALMERSTON and GLADSTONE, compared with DERBY and DISRAELI. We hope every English man will note it. We know political gratitude is a feeble sentiment ; but we also know that for fiscal "favours to come,"—a lively sense of which is said to constitute political gratitude, the nation would be mad if it did not scout the orator of Bucks for the orator of Newcastle. We hardly need add that the benefits of the new French trade come at a most seasonable time. It seems almost like a special mercy of Providence to meet the loss of our trade with America, and to enable us to aid the sufferers in Lancashire better to bear their privations. Where should we have been had Toryism ruled ouricountry in 1860 ? It is really frightful to think of what we must have suffered had not the ill-omened meeting at Willis'- rooms extinguished the anti-commercial Tories. In their madness the Tories turn round upon our expenditure, and with good reason as it regards its amount, but with the worst reason as regards them selves. They began it—they have compelled its continuance—they perpetrated Galway, Cunard, and Dover costly jobs to bribe votes—they would not allow the least reduction of our Army and Navy and Dockyard Estimates, the great cause of our extravagant expenditure they, with the most paltry political motives, backed up the school teachers and school patrons in getting national money for nothing. Tories have forced a not unwilling Premier to spend largely, and now are canting about economy and " bloated arma ments." Mr. GLADSTONE, on the contrary, has always They hated been at ed h a c m o n , s in is d te e n ed t , su fo p r po h r i t s er of real economy. known nantipathy to the expenditure the Tories forced on the Cabinet.

The following account has been given of the inter view between the State Governors who had as sembled at Altoona and the President. It took place at Washington on the 26th : _ _ " The Governors of the following named loyal States arrived here this morning from Altoona, Pennsylvania : Massachusetts, Illinois, Rhode Island, Wisconsin, Penn sylvania, lowa, Virginia, Michigan, Ohio, New Hamp shire, Indiana, and Maryland. "The last named (Indiana) was represented by Colonel Rose. Between 12 and 1 o'clock the governors abovenamed had an interview of an official character with President Lincoln, and presented an address expressing : _ " Ist. A cordial personal and official respect for the President. " 2d. A determination under all circumstances to sup port and maintain the President's constitutional authority, the Governors therein speaking for themselves and the people of their respective States. " 3d. Pledging to the President their aid in all mea sures calculated to bring the war to an early termination, which should be prosecuted to ultimate victory, unless all the rebels should return to their constitutional duty and obedience. " 4th. Congratulating the 'President upon his procla mation to emancipate the slaves, believing it will be pro ductive of good as a measure of justice, humanity, and sound policy. " ' sth. Referring to the merits of the soldiers who have fought our battles.' " The interview continued three hours. They all repre sent it to have been of a pleasant and gratifying character While plainly intimating their confidence in the Presi dent's integrity and ability, and assuring him of their de termination to support him in the discharge of his duties, their recommendations partook of the nature of friendly suggestions. Some of the subjects, he said, had already re ceived Executive consideration; but as others had now, for the first time, been presented, he requested that they be reduced to writing, in order that they might meet with the attention which their importance demands. The Governors having transacted their business with the President, some of them left the city this afternoon for their respective homes. It is ascertained from those who had the best opportunities for knowing, that there was no proposi- Lion made at the recent conference at Altoona, nor even a suggestion ventured touching the removal of Gen. M'Clel. 7 lan, nor was any proposition or suggestion made as to the promotion of General Fremont to the head of the army, or to the future disposal of that gentleman. The address to the President, as agreed to, was written by Governor An drew, at the suggestion of the other Governors present. No counter propositions or amended address was submitted. Governor Bradford, of Maryland, alone did not sign the ad dress, expressing a fear that the President's proclamation to emancipate the slaves might not prove as advantageous as the Conference hoped, and regarding the matter as too doubtful to justify him in taking sides in its support. There was no dispute nor improper warmth of debate whatever. The conversation was of the moat polite, kind, and con ciliatory character, and all present were animated by a cordial spirit of unity in support of the Government, the President, and the prosecution of the war, the principal aim of the Conference being to express to the President their sentiments, and to proffer their support to him in the future as in the past, and to make the relations of all loyal men and States more close, intimate, and firm. All, excepting Governor Bradford, of Maryland, were heartily convinced of the wisdom of the proclamation to emancipate the slaves, and were desirous of expressing this conviction to the Pre sident. In the conference, various details relating to the recruiting, organisation, equipment, and transportation of troops were discussed. The Governors freely compared notes, and agreed upon various points in this connection, which they agreed to submit to the President and Secretary of War. They did not, however, as to these matters, put anything in writing, because they ilia "af to appear dictatorial, and believing that friendly verbal communica tions, in a polite and respectful interview, would give them effect so far as they might be regarded correct or beneficial, The care and removal of the sick and wounded, and the subject of furloughs to the soldiers, &c., attracted a great deal of attention, the object being to produce reforms, which all felt to be needed to secure the happiness of families whose protectors are away, the welfare of the soldiers, and the true efficiency of the army; to carry out which reforms, should the Government adopt them, the States will cheerfully co-operate. It was unanimously agreed that furloughs should be so regulated as to prevent future abuses. It was also agreed to suggest an army of reserve, after the quota already called fcr shall be filled, of not less than 100,000 men, to be detailed and disciplined at home, and to be called out in cases of sudden emergency at such points where there may be need of their services, and to be mustered into service for 12 months, unless sooner discharged," MARKETS---TATS DAY. MARK LANE. There was a moderate show of samples of English wheat here to-day, and the trade ruled heavy, at fully Monday's decline in the quotations. The supply of foreign wheat was large. In all descrip tions sales progressed slowly, and prices had a downward tendency. _ . Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, at late rates. Fine malting barley was firm in price ; otherwise the trade was dull, at barely previous quotations. Malt changed hands slowly, yet prices were firmly maintained. Both old and new oats met a dull inquiry, and the quo tations gave way 6d per quarter. Beans and peas were in slow request, at is per quarter beneath last Friday's currency. _ Flour met an active market. Nevertheless, good and fine qualities ruled firm as to price. ARRIVALS THIS WEER.

TURIN, OCT. 9. The Discussione of this evening says that a visit of Signor Rattazzi to Paris could only take place after negotiations which would ensure a success beneficial to the national cause. Information having reached the Government that Mazzinian intrigues are being carried on in Swit zerland, the greatest precaution is being taken against their success. The Chevalier Nigra set out yesterday evening for Paris. The Marquis Pepoli, who has been detained in Turin by a slight indisposition, leaves for Swit zerland to• day. Intelligence received here to-day from Fort Yarig nano states that Garibaldi passed a very quiet night. The wound had ceased to be painful, but was still swollen.

The empire of the law is being every where consolidated ; confidence in the frank and prudent policy which you have inaugurated has tempered the impa tience which drove that General into the path of rebellion until the catastrophe of Aspromonte, where he has been enabled to discover that if, fighting the enemies of the coun try and of liberty in your name, he was allowed to aecom plish prodigies, it could not be so when, forgetting his duties, he took up arms against your rights without regard to the consequences. "From this lamentable example we have all derived a salutary lesson. "Italy, now assured against the impatience of factions, and remembering the services rendered by Gen. Garibaldi to the cause of national unity, ardently desires to forget that there was a moment when he turned a deaf ear to the voice of duty, to 3 our warnings, and to the law. "This wish of the country finds an echo in every civilised land, among all those who warmly espouse the cause of the liberty and unity of Italy, and who fear nothing so much for her as the return of those internal discords which, for so long a time, kept her divided, and rendered her such an easy prey to foreign ambition. " The forgiveness which on all sides is implored for the principal chief is with greater reason solicited for those who, led away by the prestige of his name, unadvisedly followed him in his enterprise. " It is no longer necessary to refuse compliarce with these solicitations. By granting them the Government will acquire now vigour without prejudice to the conditions of public order, which has placed in your royal hands the power of satisfying the national feeling as well as that of your own heart, without sapping the laws upon which public peace rests. " When it was necessary to suppress rebellion, to restore authority to the law which had been outraged, and to re establish order, your Council did not hesitate to advise the most energetic measures. All danger having passed, it now cheerfully makes itself the interpreter of the general wishes, and implores from your Majesty an act of cle mency which, by effacing the remembrance of one of the saddest episodes of our national resurrection, will result in keeping alive only the memory of services rendered to the country and to the dynasty. " The enemies of Italy, whose heart gladdened at the prospect of civil war, will alone behold with sorrow this act, destined to keep united and intact all the strength, as well as all the glory, of the nation. " Your Government could have wished the amnesty to be complete, and all those who in the enterprise which termi nated at Asprornonte incurred the penalties prescribed by the law should be liberated from this debt to justice. " But the necessity of strengthening, on every occasion, the sentiment of those great duties which, for the protec tion of all rights and of all liberties, are imposed upon the army, does not admit of comprising in the number of the amnestied those soldiers or sailors who on this occasion violated the special laws which govern them, or failed in their fidelity due to the Prince. " The honour of our flag forbids us to see in the acts im puted to them those circumstances which militate in favour of those who were free from the obligations of military ser vice. " Your Ministers are well aware how heavy the excep tion which they propose, and upon which they insist, will fall upon your paternal heart. " This pardon, sire, is not without precedent in our free system. ninim : hi T te yhf: tacit consent given by the Parliamentthe E‘ a p n i d rit b o y f public opinion, on other occasions , to similar acts, induce s the Council of th e C rown to propose to y ou a de c r ee which, a t c h e e o B f tr l e t n al gal Italy and of Europe, urope, Government, i ll and BOROUGH HOP.

GARIBALDIAN SOLDIERS CONDEMNED TO BE SHOT. —The court-martial on five of the Garibaldian sol. diets, who were made prisoners at Aspromonte and who deserted from their regiments, was commenced on the 21st ult. The charges agaist them were desertion and treason in bearing arms against the State. The court was com posed of six captains of infantry, a rtillery, and engineers, Col. Cavalchini being president. The trial lasted the whole day, and a great many persons were present. The accused were defended in an eloquent speech by Gatti de Forum), an officer, but they wero condemned to be shot. They will appeal, it is supposed, to the royal clemency. Importing Tea w ithout colour on t h e leaf pre vents the Chinese pas sing off inf er i or l eaves as in t h e usual kinds.

It is with the utmost satisfaction that we have to record the continued success of the excellent enter tainment given nightly by Mr. and Mrs. German Reed, in conjunction with the inimitable John Parry, the very prince of humorous vocalists. This pleasing duty is heightened by the fact that we were amongst the first to predict, on the per formance of their new entertainment, some months ago, entitled " The Family Legend," that it would well reward the care and trouble that had been encountered in placing it before the public. Nightly, and we might almost say daily, for several months has the entertainment secured overflowing and fashionable audiences ; and last night was no ex ception to the general rule, despite the many counter attractions that now abound in the metre polis. The Family Legend "of itself, designed by Mr. German Reed, and written by Tom Taylor, Esq., is quite sufficient to constitute an evening's mirthful entertainment; but, united with the many peculiar personages introduced by the three unrivalled artists to fill up the scene, it becomes one of the best and most exhila rating performances imaginable. First we have the good-hearted old Colonel Price, sustained by John Parry, who, notwithstanding his admiration of sol. diering, has not neglected his love of the fine arts, amusing himself at his seat, in North Wales, painting the picture of the terrible Sir Griffin, the hero of " The Legend," Then the old French nurse, Babet, by Mrs. German Reed, and next Pil kington, the dandy butler, by Mr. Reed, whose dignity is awfully offended by being solicited by his mistress to drive her pony chaise to the rail way station to meet her brother on his arrival in North Wales. The old colonel's visitors are all of the rarest description. Miss Mountjoy (Mrs. Reed) is a young lady given to mountain climbing, and one who thinks she might be induced to give her consent to marriage, if the interesting question was popped to her as she stood on the top of a peak some thousands of feet above the level of the sea. Mr. Wabbles (Mr. Parry) is a poet, who comes to drink divine inspiration, and the other is a matter of fact sort of person, Mr. Fussell (Mr. Reed), whose object is to ascer tain whether one of the mountains in the neigh bourhood offers good security for a loan. These impersonations are all hit off to the life, and in a manner that affords unbounded delight to the au dience; but the terrible Sir Griffin, the ghost of the story, is a capital sort of fellow, although his repu- tation is by no means favourable. The manner in which the ghostly element is introduced is very neatly managed. Frank Price when a boy was always dreadfully frightened at the picture of the doughty knight which hung in the best room of his uncle's house, and on returning home after a long voyage goes to sleep during thesinging of the legend, and as the said picture has been removed into the apartment he is then occupying, Sir Griffin steps from his frame and indulges in a cigar, a solo on the violin, and a dissertation on " spirits" in general. Of course when Frank awakens he finds his wild adventure with Sir Griffin is but a dream, and the entire sketch terminates with vast preparations for the family dinner that is to be given to the clan Price to celebrate his return to England. The new ballads and characteristic songs given during the en tertainment are all of the best and liveliest descrip tion, and the scenic illustrations by Grieve and Telbia are magnificent. As a conclusion Mr. J. Parry gives a musical narrative of the vicissitudes of a Colleen Bawn. To attempt a description of the fun of this composition would be impossible ; it is one of those things that must be seen and heard to be appre ciated ; suffice it to say that, like old wine, Mr. Parry seems to improve with age. We have all that delicious humour that threw such a charm about his singing when he appeared many years ago at the Haymarket Theatre, and the same brilliant and extraordinary touch that renders his accom paniments complete musical wonders. The " nar rative" elicited the most enthusiastic applause from a delighted audience. To our country cousins, at present on a visit to London, we recommend a visit to the Gallery of Illustration, feeling confident that they will thank us for directing them to such a de lightful place of entertainment. zin. KENNEDY'S SCOTTISH ENTER- 'WENT. Last night, at the Queen's Concert Rooms, Hanover-square, Mr. Kennedy gave another of those delightful entertainments that so highly please the pleasure-takers of the metropolis—the only drawback being the announcement that it was the last that could be given during the present season. For the sake of those who have not yet had an opportunity of hearing Mr. Kennedy, we trust he will reconsider his determination, feeling sure that, in the event of his doing so, his entertainments would soon become as celebrated as that of the late John Wilson, who " Nichts wi' Burns" were as great a success as the most sanguine artiste could well desire. During the entertainment last night Mr. Kennedy recited selections from the " Gentle Shepherd," of Allan Ramsay ; from Burns' "Tan o' chanter," in a manner that called forth the loudest applause; and the songs that were inter spersed, some plaintive, and others highly humorous, were each given with the true spirit of one who loved the music of his native land. It is impossible to say which pleased the most, the comic or the sentimental element, as everything he either said or sung was listened to with evident pleasure and delight, and applauded to the very echo. In the selection of his programme Mr. Kennedy has shown good judgment; we have not too much of one thing and not enough of another, but prose and verse are jadiciously blended, and the result is, as we have already said, an evening's entertainment that pleases everybody. Mr. Kennedy is not only a vocalist of great ability, but he has dramatic talent, and that of a very considerable power, for assuredly the thrilling words of his native authors are given in a manner that creates the deepest impression amongst the whole assembly. Mr. Kennedy has proved himself a good entertainer, and we look forward with pleasure to our next meeting, which, as the arrangements at p resen t s t an d, w ill not ta k e place before December, wh en a n e w ser i es , and we trust a good long one, of concerts will be given. Mr. Land, the accompanist to the late Mr. Wil son, fulfils the same important part for Mr. Kennedy, so it is almost needless to say th e whole of the instrumental music was given in capit a l style.

The Liberals have issued objections to about 6,000. DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF NASSAU.—The death is announced of the Right Rev. Dr, Caulfield, who only a few months since was consecrated Bishop of Nassau, a new see formed out of the diocese of Jamaica. According to the accounts received, the bishop died of the yellow fever. Dr. Caulfield was formerly Archdeacon of the Bahamas. DEATH OF MR. WALKER, C.E.—This gentleman died suddenly on Wednesday at, th e mature age of 81, at his town residence in Great George-street, Westminster, after a long and lucrative professional career. He was for many Years president of the Institution of Civil Engineers, and was chiefly noted and won an eminent name in connexion with bridge building, and marine and hydraulic engineer ing. In these latter departments of his profession he was for many years consulting engineer to the Board of Ad miralty. Signor Gavazzi was about to lecture on Italy in the town of Newry, but the magistrates received information that if he did so serious riots were certain to take place, which would end in the destruction of property, perhaps loss of life. Two of them intimated this fact to the minis ter in whose church the lecture was to be held, and conse quently the lecturer did not appear. __- BACON'S SERIES OF AMERICAN MAPS, We have pleasure in directing the attention of our readers to all the maps of any merit, produced by the enterprise of our map sellers, to illustrate the course and operations of the great war on which every one's attention is fixed ; and, among these, a series just forwarded to us by Bacon and Co., of Paternoster-row, are well deserving their attention. These maps are all well executed, clear to the eye, and remarkably cheap for their quality. We shall, perhaps, best serve our readers by pointing out what are the distinguishing points in each : The " Shilling Military Map" shows at a glance the whole of the American States and territories, in three colours, as they are now divided—Federal, Confederate, and Border Slave States. The " American States" shows the eastern section of the above on a larger scale, including the Confe derate States. The " Shilling War Map" of Virginia and Mary land designates over 3,000 towns and streams around Richmond, Washington, and Harper's Ferry, and, we think,it supplies a want, as no other one gives the full details in that vicinity. The " Army Map" is projected on a scale which permits the introduction of some very interesting and valuable features unknown in other maps, which will be found °drat interest at the present time. These maps are, we ainformed, part of a series which Mr. Bacon is publishing in order to keep pace with events as they transpire. LITERA7URE. The Journal of Agriculture, and the Transactions of the Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland. " Shorthorns as Show-stock" is the title of the first paper on the list, and the - writer condemns the practice of fattening this description of stock to excess for the purpose of show competition. The article on " First Crops of Nature : Ferments, Moulds, &c.," gives some curious particulars re specting their agency. Thus, " they obviously possess the power of analysing or digesting organic matter brought in contact with them, and at the same time of bringing the oxygen of the atmo sphere to bear upon it, so as ultimately to resolve it into vapour and carbonic acid, or, as it is com monly said, to turn it. But this is not all. Before looking abroad upon nature with a view to observe their action in its economy, it is desirable also to call to mind that they also consume ammoniacal, or nitrogenous, or decaying animal matter, or va pour, and dissolve mineral and saline sediments, in. order to form the material of their own living forme." Other articles touch on "Past and Present Condition of the Irish Agricultural Labourers," " Artificial Stone," and " Thick and Thin Sowing," whilst the " Brief Notes on Agricultural Architec ture and Engineering," by Robert Scott Burn, possess immediate interest. The account of the• agricultural transactions, as usual, conclude the number. The Medical Critic and Psychological Journal. The " Quarterly Retrospect" with 'which this number open contains a resume of recent cases of insanity, with comments on the evidence and the verdicts. A paper by J. Lockhart Clarke, F.R.S., " On the Nature of Volition, Pyschologically and. Physiologically Considered," follows, and those on: "The Sanitary Condition of the United States Volunteers," and " The Outbreak of Small pox among Sheep in Wiltshire," merit atten tion. That on "Anthropophagy " showa human nature, perhaps, in its most revolting aspect. And, under the head of " Noxious Vapours " we have the following pleasant account of the effect of the alkali works at St. Helen's :-- " Trees lose their leaves; the top branches begin ' to decay; and afterwards the bark becomes dis coloured and hardened, and when very much affected it adheres to the tree, and the tree is ulti mately killed. The cloud of vapour given off by the different works may be seen to affect the timber immediately after it has impinged upon the woods. After the vapour has passed over the tree, the leaves become all dried up, curled, and browned." The number contains other articles of interest, and concludes with the usual medical and literary gossip. The Popular Science _Review. "The British Oak," by Professor James Blackmapf is a disquisition on the varieties of that time honoured tree found in this island. Of these there are three, differing slightly in general form as well as shape of leaf, and the writer then proceeds to describe the ravages of a new kind of gall insect, " which, instead of attacking the backs of the leaves, as does the oak-leaf gall, occupies the stem that belongs to the leaf ;" thus, no new twigs can be formed, and " Trees thus infested are criP° pled as though they had been subjected to constant pruning." E. R. Lankester contributes a paper on the " Red Worm of our Rivers," Dr. J. L. Phil:" son writes on the " Ancient and Modern use of Anaesthetics," and there is an:interesting account, by the Editor, of a "Visit to Barmouth and its Neighbourhood." The remaining contents comprise " The Eleetro Plating Process," " Notes of the Ea' hibition," Miscellanea, Reviews, and a Scientific' summary. Colburn's New Monthly Magazine. A very readable article on " Denmark, liolsteiVt and Schleswig," is the first to catch the attention this month.
