The quotation of gold at Paris is about 2 per mille prem., and the short exchange on London is 25f 15c per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. bold. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly 3-10ths per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 426 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.51 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 1-10th per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at AO days' Right is 113 to 114 per cent., and the premium on gold in about 3 per cent. At these rates the importation of gold from the United States yields about the same profit as it did just previous to the suspension of cash payents in America.

LIF EBOAT SERVICES.—SOUTIINVOLD, Tuesday Night. —The lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution Was off early this morning (writes Lieut. Simmonds, and took five men and a dog from a small boat outside the outward shoal. There was a tremendous sea running at the time, so that none of the open boats could have got off, ter could the shipwrecked men have landed in their own boat through the heavy surf. They had left their vessel at two o'clock this morning. She had sunk on Lizowell Bank, full of water, and was the Princess Alice, of Ipswich. The little boat had been drifting about in the midst of fearful perils until the lifeboat took the crow out and brought them safely on shore. A serious accident occurred on Tuesday last to Mr. Mallet, of the Foreign-office. While walking in Ken sington -gore his foot slipped on a slide, and, falling to the ground, he fractured his leg. We learn that, though suf fering greatly, Mr. Mallet is progressing favourably. SHARE 31ARICET-(THIS DA Y), ORDTNARY SHARES AND STOCKS. Paid. Clos ing Busin e ss Price.

SHOP THIEF.--Robert Kean, a lad, was c•haiged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing some books from the shop of Mr. James Rimmell, bookseller, of 400, Oxford -street. Henry Wells Young, a solicitor, formerly carrying on business in Gray's-inn, who was indicted for uttering two forged powers of attorney, for the transfer of stock, to the extent of £5,000, the property of a lady named Geohegar, to whom he was trustee, with a view to defraud the Bank of England, on being placed at the bar, entered into a short conversation with Mr. Metcalfe. 6 7i 1/ `6i George James Rimmell; assistant to his father, the pro secutor, said that in consequence of what a person said to' him he went to the door of the shop and saw the prisoner going eastward. The prisoner, as soon as the person pointed him out, ran off, and he pursued him about 200 yards and brought him back, seeing that he had a book under his arm. The prisoner also had a bag under his arm, and on opening it he (witness) found in it three other books, the property of his father. The learned gentleman said the prisoner was anxious to withdraw the plea of not guilty, and plead guilty. Young then formally pleaded guilty. Mr. Metcalfe appealed to the Court to deal mercifully witt. the prisoner. Baron Cbannell, in passing sentence, said he had a pain • ful duty to perform in awarding punishment to a person who hld held such a position in life as the prisoner. He had pleaded guilty to the indictments for forgery, and that crime could not but be dealt with very severely. But a short time ago the prisoner's life would have been forfeited for such an offence as he bad committed, but the law had become more merciful. Taking into consideration the posi tion of the prisoner he could not, consistently with his duty, sentence him to a less punishment than 20 years' penal servitude. . Chizlett, a constable of the C division, said the prisoner on being taken into custody said he was very sorry, and the boy's master gave him a very good character. The lad said he would plead guilty, and his mother said he was a very good boy and had been in a situation for nine months. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed him for 21 days with hard labour. SKELETON KEYS.—James Warren, a fellow who de scribed himself as a painter, and gave a false address, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with being found in the house of Mr. George Webb, tailor, of 47, Great Marl borough-street, for the purpose of felony. Mr. Webb said that at a little before 10 yesterday morn ing, hearing a noise in the room adjoining his cutting room, he went out and saw the prisoner in the middle of the room looking about as if to see what he could take. Prisoner immediately ran out of the place, and he (Mr. Webb) pursued him and captured him in Poland-street. Prisoner said he went into the passage of the house out of the rain. The prisoner seemed perfectly amazed at the sentence, but in a few moments he recovered himself and walked quietly from the dock. MURDER. John Quigley, aged 60, was indicted for the wilful mur der of Henry Becket. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr. Cooper, who prosecuted, having stated the case to the jury, called the following witnesses : James Tyler, said he was a builder in New-street, West minster, and in December last he was engaged to repair a number of houses in Portland-street, Regent's Park. He had employed a woman named Flynn to take charge of the premises when the foreman of the works was absen t,and she was allowed to live in one of the houses, and was to receive a week's notice to leave. The room she occupied was the butler's room on the basement floor, the window looking into the front area. The'deceased, Becket, had a perfect right to enter the promises when he thought proper. In answer to Mr. Ribton, who defended the prisoner, the witness said all he knew of the prisoner was that he lived with the woman Flynn. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner that inquiries might be made whether he was known to the police. THAMES. A SAD CASE.—MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED SISTER'S HUSBAND.—A poor woman, an invalid, and in a very weakly condition, who gave the name of Catherine Pick ford, of 14, Charles-street, Globe-fields, came before Mr. Woolrych to ask his advice and assistance under the fol lowing painful circumstances. The poor woman said she was married to her husband, George Pickford, at the district church of St. Jude, Com mercial-street, Whitechapel, on the 19th Feb., 1855. For some time past her husband had acted in a very tyrannical manner towards her, and in a fit of despondency, caused by his ill treatment, she attempted to commit suicide. She was taken into custody, brought before his worship, and remanded to the Clerkenwell House of Detention for a week. At the expiration of that time in consequence of a favourable report of her conduct from the chaplain, she was discharged. That occurred a fortnight ago, and her husband had abandoned her ever since. Sho was now in a state of great destitution. Her husband had declared his intention of marrying another woman named Mary Staines or Stales, and the banns of marriage between them had been twice published at Shoreditch Church. Weston, a carpenter, said he was in the employ of the last witness at the premises in New-street. On the 27th of December he went with Becket to the house; there were three other men with them—Boyce, Gregory, and another. On entering they all went down to the base ment, and tried the pantry door and found it fastened. The prisoner was in the room, and ho (witness) called out " now, Flynn, you had bettor come out quietly." He said, " I won't como out for the policeman (meaning Becket) was there." Becket said he'd got in same other way, and that he wculd go and get a constable. He then left to do as he had said, and while he was absent the pri sonar said in answer to something that had been said to him by one of the men, " I will not come out, and the man who enters the room I will run him through." Becket returned b witho come e u he constable, a open. who advised that the door should prisoner was then again called t refused to do so, the door was oc ebroken o t t, butshe The broken open by Gregory. Becket was the first to enter, when witness saw him put his hand to the lower part of his person and he called out, " I'm stabbed." Quigley was then secured by the police, and the deceased was taken to the hospital. The knife with which the in jury was inflicted was picked up by the woman Flynn and given to the police. Cross -examined—lle saw Becket enter the room. Before the blow was struck ho saw the prisoner holding out the knife. The deceased was at that time about two feet from the door. He saw Becket had a stick in his hand threat ening the prisoner, and touching his shoulder. He then saw the prisoner stab the deceased. Gregory, one of the other men who was present at the occurrence, confirmed the evidence. Police-constable Wooler, 129 D, said ho was present when the occurrence took place. He knew that the pri soner was called to to come out of the place quietly. After the door was broken open Becket entered the place, and in a few seconds after he heard him ealt out that he was stabbed. He saw the prisoner close the knife and throw Mr. Woolrych—lf your husband marries again in your lifetime he can be indicted for bigamy. The applicant—My husband says he has a right to marry again, and that our marriage is unlawful. Mr. Woolrych--llow does he make that out ? The applicant—l am the sister of his first wife. He married me after her death, and took me from a good situa tion. Mr. Woolrych—That is very unfortunate indeed. I am inclined to think he can marry again. Marriage with a deceased wife's sister, or a deceased husband's brother is illegal. The woman, sobbing loudly, asked if that was tho law of the land ? Mr. Woolrych—lt is, indeed, my good woman. Your marriage is unlawful. Tho applicant handed in a certificate of marriage, by banns, at St. Jude's church, on Feb. 19, 1855, between herself and George Pickford, boot clicker. Mr. Woolrych—Yes ; the marriage was quite regular, aid the banns duly published, but it is an illegal marriage. Thero is nothing to prevent your husband marrying another woman, if any woman will have him. Are there any children living, the issue of your marriage? The applicant—None, sir. My sister had two children by him, one is nearly eight and the other in its tenth year. Mr. Woolrych—Your husband must keep them whether he gets married or not. It is a very hard case, but I can not help you. Have you been to the parochial authorities of Mile-end, Old-town, for relief ? The applicant—Yes, sir, and it was refused. I was told to send my husband. it out of the window into the area• On his way to the station-house the prisoner said he had been quarrelling with the woman because she would not get up and get his breakfast. Cross-examined—He could not say whether the prisoner had boots or slippers when the occurrence took place. The prisoner did not say ho was using the knife in cutting the heels of his boots. Mr. Woolrych directed one of the summoning officers of the court to take the woman to the relieving officer of the Hamlet of Mile-end, Old-town, and request that she should be relieved. He had no doubt that, under the peculiar circumstances of the case, the presence of tho husband would be dispensed with. He was afraid the guardians could not compel the heartless fellow to support his afflicted wife, Mr. Marshall, the house surgeon of Middlesex Hospital, said the death of the deceased arose from the wound in the abdomen. The knife produced would inflict such a wound as that he found on the body of Becket. The deposition of Becket, taken previous to his death, having been read, the case for the prosecution closed. Mr. Itibton submitted there was no evidence to support the charg,i of wilful murder. Baron Channell was of a contrary opinion. Mr. Ribton having addressed the jury for the prisoner, The learned Judge summed up the evidence. The report will be continued in our Late Edition. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.)

James Litchfield, a letter-carrier, was charged with stealing three letters, the property of the Pustmastei- General. He was found guilty, and sentenced to five years' penal servitude. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. The fresh arrivals of English wheat to this morning's market were very moderate, yet the demand for nearly all kinds ruled heavy, at about Monday's quotations, only a few dry samples having been taken off, at that day's cur rency. With foreign wheat we were fairly supplied, and the trade was in a sluggish state, at barely stationary prices. Floating cargoes of grain changed hands to a very mods rate extent, on former terms. Fine barley was quite as dear as on Monday, but infe rior qualities were dull, and rather cheaper. Malt moved off slowly, at previous currencies. In the value of good and fine oats very little change took place. Low samples, however, were difficult of sale. Beans and peas were a dull inquiry, and the quotation a had a downward tendency. The flour trade was dull, at fully the late decline in prices. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour. English •• •• 3 00 230 780 280 1 570 sack -.

By Sir Archi bald Alison, Bart., author of " history of Europe," B.sc." . 3 vols. Blackwood. Few men have devoted more time and labour to the study of the great . struggle which desolated Europe at the commencement of this century than Sir Archibald Alison. To write the history of Europe during the eventful years that intervened between 1789 and 1815 was no easy task. It was a record of men cast in a Titanic mould, of statesmen and soldiers beside of whom the celebrities of re cent:date seem men of common stature—of incidents which might make us fancy that the wand of Har lequin had passed over the pages of history and transformed them into a chapter of chivalric ro mance. It is difficult for the reader of the present day, when English supremacy is secure on land and sea, and the only European wars he has known have begun and ended in a single campaign, to realise the desperate nature of that protracted struggle which extended over 20 years, and cost Europe such an amount of blood and treasure th a t the most moderate calculations appear almost fabulous. T o pourtray faithfully the events of such a time, t o draw accurately the leading spirits of that stormy age, demands no common skill, and though it is an often-told tale, it is one that will not lose its vivid interest for many generations. Sir Archibald Ali son has invested his work with the character of a history rather than a biography. He justly observes, in his prefatory remarks, that the lives of such men as the two eminent brothers who are his subjects are inseparable from the great public events in which they bore a part. Sir Archibald's merits as an historian are well established, and therefore there is little need to discuss the abilities he has brought to so arduous an undertaking. As a bio grapher he is not altogether impartial, but he has, perhaps, purposely assumed the character of a par tisan in order to counteract the prejudices which depreciated the merits and capacities of one who, whatever his errors, was certainly no common statesman, It was Lord Castlereagh's misfortune, in spite of enlarged views and some liberal tenden cies, to be continually ranged on the unpopular side. His life, as his biographer confesses, was engaged in the policy of reprdsione Much may be forgiven even in these days of enlightenment to the Minister in whose time the Irish rebels could gravely con template the murder of every Orangeman and the establishment of an Hibernian Republic; who formed one of the doomed Administration, whose Cabinet dinner narrowly escaped becoming a Ber mecide feast by the discovery of Thistlewood's con spiracy; who lived in an epoch when, not the national supremacy, but the national existence was at stake, when treaties were not quite so quickly arranged as at Villafranca, and when certainly neither wars nor revolutions were made with rose water. Yet his historian asserts that such a policy was foreign to his character. "So far," he says, from having been the supporter of tyranny and the friend of arbitrary government, he was throughout life the strongest and most determined, as well as successful opponent of both. He resisted oppression with equal vigour whether it appeared in the form of a dominant Protestant oligarchy in Ireland, of a tyrannical mob committee in England, of an imperial despot in France, of an encroaching Asiatic autocrat in Poland, or of a conclave of arbitrary sovereigns at Laybach. His ruling prin ciple was not the support of any one party, or the steadfast resistance to another, but the prosecution of what he deemed the public interest, irrespective of the wishes of any man or body of men." It was this inflexibility which, in his biographer's opinion, explains his unpopularity. The parties whose support: had, in his mind, been second to the gene ral welfare, became his bitter antagonists, and that these were varied and numerous, the following ex tract will show : LORD CASTLEREAGH'S ENEMIES. There were several causes which in a peculiar manner exposed Lord Castlereagh to unpopularity, and weakened the support which in general combats, and in the end over comes it, From his independence of character and high moral courage, he would submit to the dictation of no party, bow powerful soever, and was successively brought into collision with all the factions who divided the Govern ment of the country, or aspired to its direction; and they never could forget the manner in which he had discomfited them. The Irish revolutionists could never forgive him for having put down the rebellion in their country, and ex tinguished all hopes of a forcible separation of the Hiber nian isle from the crown of Great Britain. The Protestant oligarchy there, who had so long farmed out its Govern ment for their own exclusive benefit , felt indignant at a champion who had followed up that victory by the hated measure of the union, and remained through life the steady supporter of Catholic emancipation. The English Whigs were of course opposed to a Tory politician who for ten years led the House of Commons, and successively opposed all their party moves and legislative measures. The Eng- 1 lish Tories, though they in public supported, in secret were jealous of him ; he was an Irishman, and not one of them selves ; he claimed descent from the magnates of neither of the great parties which, since the Revolution, had alter nately ruled the State. The partisans of Napoleon tine} of French domination, whether in this country or the Conti nent, were, of course, to the last degree exasperated at the statesman who, beyond any other human being, had op posed their designs and thwarted their ambition. The Legitimists distrusted him because he had been willing to treat with Napoleon at Chatillon, thwarted the ambition of Russia at Vienna, and kept aloof from the Holy Alliance at Troppau and Verona. The British Radicals were hardly less infuriated against the Minister who had stood foremost in the fight with domestic treason, and combated revolu tion with its own weapons, and the energy generally found only in its own supporters. Thus he had, from the very independence and patriotism of his career, been brought into collision, at one time or anoth er , w i t h th e c hi e f part i es i n to which his country or Europe was divided, and incur red the real hostility of all withcut having secured, at the moment at least, the cordial support of any—the usual fate of those who are actuated by the love of their country rather than zeal for a party, and pursue measures calcu lated for the general good, not those likely to support the desires of a particular section of the community I It was not always, however, that this hos• tility was manifested. During his lifetime, however bitter the opposition he encountered, he filled a prominent and commanding posi tion, and received many honours, He had the satisfaction, while still very young, of winning a peerage for his father, by his services in bringing about the Irish Union ; he represented England at the most momentous Congress that had assembled for centuries ; and on his return to Parliament the whole house rose to receive him, as a tribute to the successful diplomacy which had just completed the pacification of Europe. The chief responsibilities of the Administration in those days rested upon the Foreign Minister, and Lord Castlereagh was not one to shrink from them. Public affairs seem to have been his element, for we find him acquiring distinction at an age when few men have succeeded in becoming known from the ranks. His great gift was in the art of swaying his fellow-men, whether it was shown in smoothing away the obstacles to the Union, and calming the savage temper of a discontented people, or at the Congress of Vienna, in quietly, yet successfully, opposing the cherished projects of Emperors and Kings. His tenure of office in Ireland was not of long duration, but it sufficed to associate his name with the important measure of the Union (carried, it must be owned, by no immaculate means, and to win for him last ingthee presume, except Mr. Fergus hatred of the school of the 111Cno 3e o a n les r . Few, we presume, his friends, would now be found to maintain ° the advan tages of independence to the sister country, but in those days language could not be found suffi ciently fervid to denounce the Irishman who had "sold his country." It is greatly to the credit of Lord Castlereagh's sagacity that he consistently advocated the removal of Catholic disabilities. His memoir on the Catholic claims, addressed to the Government in 1801, when he had just retired from office on their account, is a sample of just and weighty reasoning. There are others of his earlier papers which show a degree of calm and sagacious statesmanship very uncommon in so young a poli tician. His tenure of office as War Minister was chiefly associated with the unfortunate Walcheren expedition, the cause of whose disasters was, how ever, to be found rather in the inefficiency of the general than in the indiscretion of the projector of the movement. That Lord Castlereagh him self fully appreciated the importance of selecting the right man for the right place is p d rov t ed e l by the energy with which he recommended appointment of Wellington to the in the Peninsula in spite of the precedent and priority. He has also the credit of before . __the g n c - o o n f ictee,dPar was at one claims co of maintaining the Peninsular war, which try, country, time very unpopular in this brilliant victories of Wellington expenditure of liament or people to the necessaryheF men and money. It was att won his chief fame, and how ever, that Lord Castlereag h of his measures , it *, ' Foreign-office, whatever may be thought is a degree of foresight and firm nessm- possible to deny him contemporaries.. Assuredly the rare among his of Vienna are not those we terms of the Treaty at the present day, end the un qualifiedshould have chosen a praise, afforded to by Sir Archibald Alison will probably find many dissentients. The Venetians , we suspect, would not feel much in clined to subscribe to the ingenious theories which have doomed them to forty years of miserable op pression, while the junction of Holland and Bel gium has long since proved a failure. Still there was much to consider. A king in those days was not a lways a constitutional sovereign, and allies are, sometimes, as w e know, very exacting friends. At the Congress of Chatill an, while the allies were still endeavouring to negotiate with Napoleon,Lord Castlereagh was embarrassed by the Prince Regent expressing in strong terms to the Russian Ambassa dor in London his conviction of the impossibility of making a durable peace with the French Emperor, and the expediency of enthroning the Bourbons in his stead. Privately Lord Castlereagh shared this conviction, but he would not own it, maintaining that having begun negotiations with Napoleon good faith required they should not be broken eff, and pressly disclaiming any wish on the part of the British nation to force any dynasty on is reluctant people. The chief miAske, say: Sir Archibald Alison, cooatuitt:al by Lord Castlereagh was lie concurrellee in the monetary changes, produced so muc h su ff er i ng i n 1819. This is the more remarkable, as he had vigorously and sliccess. fully opposed the fatal p ro p os iti on o f th e Bullion. Committee in 1810, recommending the compulsory resumption of cash payments within two years. The report was dated June 8, 1810, and the first debate on it took place May 15, 1811. Had the re. commendation of the comm itt ee , says th e hi s torian, been adopted on the first occasion", the crash would have came in England when Welling• ton was preparing to commence the Salaananca, campaign, and Napoleon's forces were converge nag towards the Niemen for the invasion:of Russia; if, on the second, it would have come on the eve of the triumphant march of the English general to Vit toria, immediately after the battle of F.Jittleh, and just before the armistice of Pleswitz; -" W 9 have only," he goes on to say, "to figure the monetary crises of 1825, 1838, 1847, and 1857 happening on any of these occasions to form a conception of . what must have occurred if the recommendation Of the Bullion Committee liad been carried into effect." The author justly observes, in another plade; that by Lord Castlereagh's establishment of a paper currency, guaranteed by the allied Powers in 1813, he provided the necessary funds for the gigantic armaments then afoot, and had the same wise and enlightened system been followed' after the peace under prop er sa f eguar d s aga i nst un d ue extension, there can be no doubt that the general distress and discontent would have been averted. We have not spoken of the memoir of Sir Charles Stewart, afterwards the late lamented Marquis of Londonderry. His public career is closely associated w i t h that of his brother, and it is not often that two such near relatives acquire contemporary disti nc ti on , t h e one in the field, the other in the Cabin e t. Si r Ch ar l es Stewart's communications from the seat of war were often of great value to his brother, for his sagacity enabled him to makethe most of his oppor tunities of observation. He was one of the first to maintain that Elba would be no lasting resting place for the ambition that had set the world on fire. His descriptions were often so animated and brilliant that their authorship was attributed to others with more leisure, but their authenticity has been proved by the discovery of the original letters. He was mainly instrumental in forcing on the reluc tant Bernadotte and his Swedes—always two days march behind the front rank of the allies. His official career ended with his brother's melancholy death; but his s ph ere o f ut i l i ty was not closed, for on his marriage with the heiress of Sir H. Vane T Tempest, her large es t a t es came under his spirited yet judicious control. Their biographer draws an interesting comparison between the two distinguished brothers. LORD CASTLEREAGH AND SIR C. STEWART. Descended from the same line of ancestors, born of the same father, and inheriting the same religious and political principles, the second and third Lords Londonderry were yet essentially different from each other. Both had the firm character, the moral and physical courage, the, iron will, which in civil and 'military life are essential to great achievements, and both directed their dispositions in their several professik ns to the support of the ancient constitu• tion, the upholding of the old ideas, in Church and State. Both united with these qualities the kindliness of disposi tion and warmth of heart which rendered them the idols of their families, the objects of affection and esteem to a large circle of relations and friends. Both had that high-bred and chivalrous courtesy of manner, which softens so Much the asperities of national and political conflict, and which is never acquired in such perfection as by those who, like Marlborough or Sir Charl es St ewar t , un i te militaryeom mand with important diplomatic appointments. Both were for a considerable part of their lives misapprehended by their contemporaries, and rendered the objects of impas sioned party and political invective, which has been extin guished by the more impartial judgment of subsequent times. So far their characters and destiny in life were simi lar, it might almost be said identical ; but in other respects of the passive ki n d th L ey or d d iff e e a red stio Nid r v ea e g t h y ,s tr c o o m ur e a a g c o h N o v t a h s e. more r —his character appealed chiefly in his power of resistance. This arose, in a great degree, from bi,s political situation, and the public duties to which, as a Cabinet Minister, he was called. With the exception of the affair of the Irish Union, in which he was the right hand of Government, and engaged in the active prosecution of a great, and, as it has turned out, most salutary political change, he was all his life stationed on the defensive. He was the warder on the tower, to descry the enemy when yet afar cff, and arrange and head the garrison which was intrusted with the defence. Whether in resisting the encroachments of France at the Congress of Chatillon; or-throwing the weight of England, with decisive effect, into the scale, to push up the allied forces before the battle of Laon ; or in withstanding the flood of democracy which, fed- by public suffering, so vio lently surged up after the peace of 1815, he was always charged with the duty of resistance. His life was one con tinued battle with the democratic principle, whether ap pearing in its early stages of public discontent and seditious meetings, or in its last form of a terrific and conquering military despotism, threatening destruction to every inde pendent Power, and prepared to stifle separate discontent in the stillness of universal dominion. Sir Charles Stewart's mind was in some respects of a dif ferent cast, and his destiny in life was peculiarly fitted to call forth its most brilliant qualities. A soldier by profes sion, and incessantly engaged, from early youth till the termination of the war, in military duties and dangers, ho was called upon not to resist, but to attack; not to defend his own position, but to press forward and assault that of the enemy. His mental disposition and chivalrous turn of mind qualified him in a peculiar manner for the discharge of these duties. Brave, active, and enterprising, he was equally fitted to lead a headlong charge of horse, and to combine the military movements which were essential to the success of a p reat campaign. We know not whether to admire him most when, on the banks of the Esla, at the head of his own regiment of huzzars, he routed the cavalry of the Imperial Guard, and made their commander Lefebvre l)esnouettes prisoner ; when, in single combat, he disarmed the French colonel of cuirassiers on the field of Fuentes d'Onoro ; when he bled alongside of the Russian Guards on the plain of Culm ; or when he overcame the scruples and conquered the irresolution of Bernadotte, and brought up the Army of the North with decisive effect on the field, of Leipsic. We recognise the same energetic character and determined will, when, after the peace of Paris, he turned. his sword into a ploughshare. It was the same man who had headed the onslaught on the French squadrons, who twice over reared the princely halls of Wynyard, bridled the Northern Ocean amidst the rocks of Seaham, and mid way between the mountain and the main, aloft in air, reared up the enchanted castle of Garroa. There is little question that the work before us will attract considerable attention, and partisans will probably depreciate it, on account of the opinions professed. It does not possess the merit of impar tiality, for throughout it aims at a - vindication of Lord Castlereagh's character and policy. It furnishes, however, an interesting record of an English states man whose career has not hitherto been popularly known, or, perhaps, rightly appreciated ; of one who filled a prominent part on the stage of life while he was yet among the players, and who should not therefore be suffered to remain without a fitting chronicle. It is well, too, to possess a last ing memorial of so true and noble a nature as his frank, soldier brother, whose name will long be held in grateful remembrance by the neighbour hood of Seaham. Sir Archibald has discharged his duties as historian and friend with his accustomed ability, We should suggest, however, a more care ful revision of the work, for the elision of occa sional inaccuracies. The arrangement of the volumes with regard to notes, index, and contents, is in every way adapted to th e conven i ence of the reader, and well suited to a work w hi c h w ill pro b a bl y re tain its place among standard books of reference. THE NEW ROAD ACROSS BYDE-PA.RK. A final decision has been come to as to the road across the park. The Chief Commissioner of Public Works went over the ground, and finally decided upon the plan fora sunk road through Kensington gardens. The road on the north will commence in the Bayswater-road, and run across Kensington gardens west of the Serpentine, and parallel with r te de t n h s e , new and entrancetnhoerrtehfo r e os e toop upon the e the Horti culturalE x the new broad walk, emerging on Kensington gore itself. Its length is b.O e just three-quarters of a mile, and it is carried across at a uniform level of 12 feet below the su r fac e. gore oppGosai It passes beneath the carriage drive and Rt o ten-row by means of two short tunnels. The total w idth of the roadway is to be 40 feet, of which a bo u t eight will be devoted to a footway on one side. Both sides of the cutting Will be formed of gently sloping banks of turf, and none of the grown timber will be interfered wiih. The cost of the whole road is estimated at only £35,000, the Commissioners of Public Works un dertaking to pave and light it. The tolls are to b© the same'as at Kensington-gate-3d. for one horse, 6cl. for two, and a halfpenny for each foot passen ger along the pathway. The road is to be open day and night. Every holder of a £lOO debenture will receive an ivory, or ticket, which will pass himself and his cab or carriage toll-free. Application will be made to Parliament upon its meeting for the ne cessary powers, and the act is not to come into operation till £30,000 out of the £35,000 have been subscribed for. We believe the plan of the new road is that proposed by Mr. Page. THE YELVERTON MARRIAGE CASE.—In the Court of Common Pleas, Dublin, on Monday, in the case W " Thelwall v. Yelverton,,, Mr. Whiteside, Q.C., moved on the part of the plaintiff, Mr. John Thelwall, that ho might be at liberty to ma rk j udgment, and issue execution thereon, notwithstanding the bill of exc e pti ons taken by Major Yelverton, the defendant, and for the cost of the ap plication.
