"Mr. Kent has undeniable merits—warm and high-toned feeling, a pleasant combination of grace and humour, and no small power to individualise. Pope at Twickenham' is a cabinet picture. `Marianne' will commend itself to all mothers by its gush of parental tenderness, and its acquaint ance with baby wiles and mysteries. Fructidor' shows what Dutch fidelity of word painting the author can master when he tries. His fruit is as vivid , and well characterised as if Lance had painted it."—Athenaeum. "The charm of Mr. Kent's poetry, as it is the first condi tion of success to all poets, is that he is in sympathy with his subject and not only with himself ; that he is truly poet and not egotist. Bnt it is by no means his only merit. He is a mas ter of versification. The flow of his verse is smooth and me lodious, and enriched with a copious and ornate vocabulary. `Shelley at Marlow' is a painting exquisitely delicate. The vision of Shelley with which Mr. Kent presents us is almost perfect. 'DREAMLAND is a work conceived in a noble spirit, and executed with scholarly taste, frequently with flashes of true poetic inspiration. fhe Dying Bridegroom' is distinguished by a genuine pathos, which leads us to be lieve tbat Mr. Kent would succeed eminently in some story of the affections."—The London Review. "Mr. Kent's poems come before the world with the advan tage, not only of an author's name, but of a name already agreeably and musically known in the metrical literature of the day. His 'Aletheia' was very favourably received by the public, and has no doubt been the companion of many thoughtful readers who will gladly welcome another volume from his pen. A series of portraits drawn with true poetic sympathy and veneration, The best of all, we think, is that of Scott. There is something in the lines that will remind the reader of the chime of Scott's own verse."—John Bull. " Verses, many of them extremely tender and harmonious, and all indicating a mind carefully cultured and imbued with elegant tastes."—Daily News. " Poems of very considerable excellence. Fructidor 'is a very close and vigorous word-painting of an orchard. Mr. Kent's volume is healthy and vigorous in sentiment, correct in composition, and contains many happy touches of true fancy, very gracefully expressed."—The Critic. "The pictures Mr. Kent makes are carefully drawn and effectively coloured. His work is on the whole in good taste. It possesses the undeniable, yet, in these days, rare merit of intelligibility, and is, moreover, very readable."—The Art- World. "We like some of Mr. Kent's minor poems even better than 'Dreamland.' He is a realpoet, unquestionably, and often versifies with extreme felicity. Of his poetic power the Monody on Lord Strangford ' affords ample proof : while his capacity to make word-music is shown in `The Morris Dances s.' "—The Press. ALETHEIA ; OR, THE DooM OF MYTHOLOGY.

The following bills were read a second time :—Dablin (Borough) Fire Brigade, Limerick Markets, North Devon Railway and Dock, Rathmines and Rathgar Improvement, and Launceston, and South Devon Railway.

The Earl of DERBY rose to move for the appointment of a select committee to inquire into the injury resulting from noxious vapours evolved in certain manufacturing pro cesses, and also for the purpose of inquiring into the state of the law relating thereto. The noble lord said he should offer no apology for bringing forward a subject, which, both in an economic and sanitary point of view, was pressing itself upon the attention of Parliament. Having referrad to the steps that had already been taken by the other House of Parliament with respect to smoke and other nuisances, which had existed in the metropolis, and which had to a great extent been abated in consequence of those acts, the noble lord proceeded to notice tho dangerous system which was carried on to a great extent in many places in the North where the process of calico printing was actively carried on. It was well known that a great quantity of arsenic and white lead entered into that process, and the refuse of those works in many cases was turned into the adjacent rivers and streams, rendering them dangerous in the highest degree. He had lately had the pleasure of seeing a gentleman who would be acknowledged by their lordships to be a very high authority on the subject. Dr. Lyon Playfair, who had been down to examine the state of the water in one of those districts, and that gentleman found on exa mining the bottom of one of the reservoirs that in one pound of the mud there were no less than from 10 to _l3 grains of arsenic. Such being the state of matters, he thought it became the duty of Parliament to take the subject into their serious consideration. (Hear, hear.) His present intention, how ever, was not to deal with certain streams, but it was con fined to the consideration of the noxious vapours evaporated from' certain manufactories. The law on the subject was at present totally inadequate to meet the evil. In dealing with the subject he proposed to consider, first, the amount of injury inflicted, next its preventability, and, in conclusion, the inadequacy of the existing law. The manu facture of alum was carried on to a great extent in St. Helen's, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Glasgow, and other places, and the noxious vapours emitted by these manufactories was most destructive to vegetable life. In the neighbourhood of St. Helen's the damage to timber in the surrounding districts was inconceivable, and many of the poor persons who frequently depended upon the produce of a few fruit trees to pay their rent had had those trees entirely destroyed ; and, owing to the exist in; state of the law, the poor people were absolutely and entirely without redress. Earl GRAN VILLE said that feeling the great import. ance of the question which his noble friend had handled in so able a manner as to completely dispel any apprehensions that might have been entertained of his motion by the manufacturing interest, the Government were quite pre pared to give it their assent. After a few observations from Lord RAVENSWORTH, the motion was agreed to, the committee to be nominated on a future day. The Bills of Exchange (Ireland) Act, 1861, Amendment Bill was read a second time, and the Transfer of Stocks (Ireland) Bill a third time and passsed. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—YESTERDAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the Bradford Corporation Water Bill were considered and agreed to, and the bill was ordered to be read a third time. The British Plato Glass Company Bill, and Webb and Craig's Patent Bill were read a third time and passed, and the Tyne General Ferry Bill was read a second time. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented against the abolition of church rates, against the Highways Bill, against the impo sition of the income tax on incomes under £l5O a-year, and against the inquisitorial character of the tax; by Mr. M. GIBSON from the inhabitants of Ashton-under-Lyne, praying that a law might be passed to prevent the obtain ing of licences for the sale of spirituous liquors without the consent of ratepayers ; against the appointment of the police in Ireland as registrars of births and deaths, against the Public-houses Licenses (Scotland) Act, &c. crown, and that their opinion had been founded on a full knowledge of all the merits of the case. Lord J. MANNERS and Mr. COLLIER trusted that the motion would not be persevered in after the discussion which had taken place. (Cries of "Divide.") Sir J. HAY, in deference to the wishes of the house, withdrew the motion. The subject then dropped• TIIE RECORD OFFICE. Mr. COCHRANE called the attention of the house to the state of the Reccrd-office, and said that the right hon. gentleman opposite (Mr. Cowper) by his statement the other evening had conveyed an erroneous impression to the house, and he quoted the report of the Master of the Rolls to show that an alteration in the present Record .office was desirable. The learned judge said that the apartments in which some of the public records were kept were unfitted for that purpose, being old, damp, and unsafe. He (Mr. Cochrane) could speak from personal inspection of the in efficiency of the places where the public papers were depo sited. Mr. COWPER admitted the statement of the hon. mem ber to be correct, but did not see how it was to be remedied. Plans had been prepared for an additional wing to the pre sent Record-office, but as yet no money had been voted for the work. THE DISTRESS IN THE COTTON MANU FACTORIES. Mr. A. EGERTON, in accordance with notice, called attention to the subject of the wide-spread distress now pre vailing in the cotton-manufacturing districts. At the pre sent moment, he observed, there wero not less than 58,000 operatives in those districts entirely without work, whilst a still large numbers were working short time. The disti ess was most severely felt in Manchester, Preston, Rochdale, Wigan, and some other places; but in Bolton and Bury it was not quite so great, in consequence of the operations of the French Treaty. Whilst thiswas the existing state of things, he was sorry. to say that the cotton imports at Liver pool showed a falling off as to encourage no hope of any immediate improvement. It had been suggested in some quarters that an effort might be made by an appeal to na tional charity for the purpose of affording relief ; but his own opinion was that the time had not yet arrived for re sorting to any such measure as that. There was a general feeling in the district that the poor-law was harshly administered, that the labour test was imposed unne cessarily, and that certain rigid rules which had been laid down by the board required to be relaxed. He should be glad, therefore, to have information upon these questions, and also as to whether all had been done in the administration of the poor law that could be done with the view of meeting the emergency of the case. The hon. gen tleman also inquired whether any reductions had been de cided upon in the Indian tariff affecting cotton, and if so when they would come into operation. Mr. POTTER also bore testimony to the extent and seve rity of the destitution prevailing in the cotton districts, and stated it as his conviction that no system of public charity or poor-law relief would be adequate to grapple with the evil. He recommended that an inquiry should be instituted by the Government by means of a Royal commission or a select committee of the house. kir C. WOOD stated that he was in possession of no more recent information from India than that which was contained in the published telegraphic despatches; but he believed the condition of Indian finance was such as to ad.• mit of a considerable reduction in the scale of duties affect ing cotton. Mr. VILLIERS acknowledged the extent of the suffering, and expressed his admiration of the noble manner in which it had been borne. He assured the house that he had availed himself of all the means at his command to become thoroughly acquainted with the state of the workpeople in the cotton districts, and the measures adopted by the poor law guardians and overseers to meet the difficulty. Appre hending the pressure that must be experienced if the un fortunate contest in America continued much longer, early in the year he addressed a circular to every union in the cotton districts and the districts connected by business with the American trade, expressing his anticipations of approaching suffering, and requesting them to make all the provision in their power for an unusual occur rence of distress. And in the majority of cases the an swers he received assured him that the guardians were ready to meet any emergency that might arise by means of their ordinary resources. He was happy to say that the returns forwarded weekly to the Poor-law Depart ment showed that there had been some diminution of dis tress at the close of last month, although ho was quite ready to admit that many and great privations were endured by a large number of persons. He believed, however, there were ample resources in the public rates for the relief of distress, even if it should continue to spread to a greater extent. The present rate of expenditure for the relief of the poor in Lan cashire was ls. 10d. in the pound on the rateable value, which was considerably less than the amount levied in the agricultural county of Suffolk or the manufacturing town of Sheffield. With regard to the labour test, be did not believe it was unnecessarily or harshly imposed ; and such was the high feeling of the people of Lancashire generally that he thought they weuld rather dp work than receive parish re lief. But seeing no prospect of a cessation of the distress, the Poor-law Board had instructed experienced persons to proceed at once to the cotton districts to inquire into the mode of administering the law, and whether it was carried out in a just and proper spirit, as well as to bring into har monious action with the guardians the voluntary relief com mittees who were now occupied in doing so much good. From all the information that had reached him, there was no reason to complain of the authorities on the spot, and he was satisfied that no greater harm could be inflicted on the poor themselves than by creating distrust in their minds in that respect. Mr. BRIGIIT complimented Mr. Egerton on the able manner in which he had brought the question under the notice of the house. Although there was great and growing distress in the cotton districts, it was not so universal as many persons at a distance supposed, whilst it was more severe in some towns than in others. The suffering in Lan cashire in 1840 and 1841 was much greater than at the pre sent moment, and although he was not sure that so many persons were then out of work, it had continued for a much longer period after a season of much less preceding pros perity. But there was no doubt that the case wa s growing worse, and must continue to grow worse. lie con s!dered that, in these painful circumstances, the boards of guardians ought to exercise a wide discretion in regard to the treatment of this grave case. It was necessary, too, that other assistance should be given than that which the guardians could supply by means of rates; and a commit tee formed in every parish might collect subscriptions in aid from those who were not on the verge of destitution themselves, but had larger means, and perhaps did not pay rates in proportion to their wealth. At present he thought that even if the distress continued for some months to come Lancashire was well able to take care of itself without send ing the hat round the country. Turning then to a recent speech of the Foreign Secretary, Mr. Bright animadverted with some severity upon the statement of the noble earl, that he hoped in a few months the Northern States of America would permit the Southern States to become inde pendent, and the effect of which, he observed, had been most injurious. For the day on which that speech reached Manchester the whole cotton trade was checked, yarn fell from 7 to 10 per cent., and the trade of Manchester had suffered greatly. If he might give the noble earl a piece of advice it would be in the words of Hosea Biglow's grand father—more forcibly than grammatically expressed—when he said— . " Don't never prophesy unlep.9 you know." Mr. HIBBERT, the newly-elected member for Oldham, said that, although the people in tho distressed dietriota bore their sufferings with great fortitude, they thought the Poor Law Board should suspend their labour-test, which at pre sent greatly interfered with the distribution of relief. General LINDSAY, speaking on behalf of the board of guardians, relief committee, and town of Wigan, disavowed all desire on their part to resort for relief to the Consoli dated Fund until the means afforded by the poor rates and private benevolence had been exhausted. He thought the speech of the President of the Poor Law Board was calcu lated to be most useful, especially in fortifying the guar dians in doing their duty. The determination of the Go vernment to send down a competent person to make inqui ries on the spot was a wise one, and would be attended with valuable results. Mr. BAZLEY also urged the necessity of mitigating or relaxing the rigid labour-test, and providing an indepen dent supply of cotton by opening up communication with the interior of India through the improvement of the Ueda very river, _ _ . Mr. GILPIN denied that the wish was generally enter tained by the boards of guardians to dispense with or relax the labour-test, or that the terra "rigid" was justly appli cable to any of the regulations of the Poor Law Board. The Marquis of Hartington, Mr. W. Egerton, Sir M. Farquhar, and Sir G. Grey also addressed the house, the Home Secretary taking occasion to speak in high terms of the patience, fortitude, forbearance, judgment, and right feeling which had characterised the demeanour of the working classes in this crisis of their sufferings. The subject then dropped. ROYAL COURT OF JERSEY. In answer to Mr. Sergeant PIGOTT, Sir G. GREY sated that the question of the reform of the constitution and procedure of the Royal Court of Jer sey had better be left for the present in the hands of the St a tes of the island, and th a t h e did not contemplate in.. troducing any measure on the subject. SUPPLY. The house having gone into committee of supp l y , re sumed the consideration of the civil service estimates. DILLWYN moved that the vote of £116,695 for the Department of Science and Art be reduced by the sum of £7,106 ; but on a division the motion was negatived by 111 to 48, and the vote agreed to. on the motion of Sir R, PEEL, leave was g iven to Driug in a bill to continue and amend the Peace Preservation (Ireland) Act, 135 G ; and a bill to provide for the superan nuation allowances and gratuities to officers of poor law unions in Ireland. Leave was also given to the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER to introduce a bill to enable the trustees of the British Museum to remove portions of their collection. The house then adjourned.

When the flag was lowered Strawberry Hill slipped his horses and came on with a strong lead, followed on the upper ground by Bo3otia, the Joyful colt, Batsman, and Odine with the others in close attendance. On reaching the dip Strawberry Hill gave way to the Joyful colt, who car ried on the running into the cords, where she was joined by Batsman, and the three finished a fine race home. Batsman, getting up in the last stride, won cleverly by a head, Strawberry Hill was an indifferent third, Star and Garter and Odine, side by side, were fourth and fifth, close up; the Vedette colt next. Lord Westmoreland claimed the winner, and Mr, Flutter claimed the Joyful colt. Sweepstakes of 10 sovs each ; 2-yr-olds 6st 101 b, 3-yr-olds Bst 101 b, fillies and geldings allowed 31b.

On entering the cords Cam berwell dropped back, and his place in attendance upon the favourite was taken by Mr. Hodgman's colt.

THE INCOME TAX. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY gavo notice that when the Customs and Revenue Bill came on he would move the introduction of a clause providing for the paying of expenses of persons who had been summoned to give information relative to their incomes. THE MERCHANT SHIPPING ACT. Lord HOTHAM asked the right hon. gentleman (Mr. M. Gibson) when he intended to proceed with this bill ? Mr. M. GIBSON said that it was arranged that the com mittee of supply this evening should not go beyond 10 or half••past 10 o'clock, when he would proceed with the Merchant Shipping Act. Lord HOTHAM said that he understood the right hon. gentleman to state last night that he would inform the house this evening when he would bring the bill forward, but he had not the slightest idea that it would come before the house this evening. He acted under that impression, and communicated with some members of the house, who were absent in consequence of his statement. Mr. LOCKE was not present when the right hon, gen tleman made his statement, but he was under the impres sion from what he read that the noble lord (Hotham) was correct. Mr. M. GIBSON said that he had communicated with the noble lord at the head of the Government, and the arrangement which he mentioned was decided on. How. ever, under the circumstances, he would not bring the mea sure forward this evening. (Hear, hear.) M. MERCIER'S VISIT TO RICHMOND: In reply to Sir J. DUKE, _ _ . Mr. LA.YARD said that the visit of M. Mercier to Richmond was without any instruction from his Govern ment, and was attended with no political results. PROMOTION OF NAVAL OFFICERS ON THE RESERVED LIST. Sir J. HAY asked the Secretary to the Admiralty to lay upon the table of the house a copy of the form of commis sion promoting the first -named 90 officers on the reserved list of the navy to the rank of captain ; and a copy of the form of commission promoting the last two officers on that list to the rank of captain, with any explanationthere may have been for the necessity of changing the form of commission : to ask for a return of the names and pay or other emoluments of the first sixteen captains on the reserved list : and to move that the case of the reserved captains be referred to the law officers of the Crown. . _ Mr. B. Cochrane, Major Edwards, and Admiral Walcott supported the motion. Mr. BERKELEY opposed the motion, and was under stood to say that he thought that the officers on the reserved list were not entitled to the promotion in question, when thero were so many lieutenants who were engaged in active service. Lord C. PAGET said that this was a question which had been so frequently discussed in the House of Com mons that if he went into it at any length he would only be repeating what had been already stated by honourable members. Ho might state that, in consequence of the opinion expressed by certain hon, members on the opposite side of the house, his noble friend the Duke of Somerset had laid the whole question before the law officers of the Crown, who were of opinion that the course adopted by Government was quite correct. His (Lord Ci Paget's) sympathies were with the officers alluded to, but he did not think they were entitled to be placed on an equality with officers engaged in active service. He had no objection to the production of the document asked for as regarded the 90 officers and 12 officers in question, but drew attention to the fact that it was not usual or convenient to lay the opinion of the law officers on the table of the house. Mr. TALBOT congratulated the house on th© fact that this matter had been referred to the law officers of the crown, but he thought the opinion of these officers should be laid on the table of the house. Sir J. PAKINGTON said that there were public rea sons why the opinions of the law officers of the crown should not be laid on the table, and he trusted that the hon. member (Sir J. Hay) would not persevere with this subject, but rest satisfied with the conviction that he had done all in his power for the class of officers in whose welfare he was so much interested. Mr. MALINS said he had been present at the different discussions which had taken place on the vexata questto, which he considered had becomo more perplexed by the speech of the right hon. member, who had taken a different view on previous occasions. He thought the case laid be fore the law officers of the crown should be submitted to the house, in order to enable honourable members to judge if that statement embodied all the facts of the case. He had the highest • • opinion of th e law officers of the crown, but as a man of experience a nd comm on sense, an erroneous op i n i on m i g h t b e o b ta i ne d from the most eminent lawyer in consequence of the nature of the statement laid before him. The SOLIC ITOR-GENERAL said that the fact was that the statement s made by the officers who felt themselves aggrieved, had bee, 4 414 before the law oigr:ers of the Match. 50 am. T.Y.C. Lord Westmoreland's Confidence, Bst 71b .. (J Goater) 1 Sir J. Hawley's Cowley, Bst 121 b (Wells) 2 Betting-11 to 10 on Cowley.

Shortly after the signal flag was lowered, the horses ap peared on the brow of the Ditch-hill, and the favourite, with Argonaut on his whip hand on the upper ground, was seen in possession of a slight lead, Xurullo being on the lower ground. They ran in this way to the entrance of the cords, where Rogers eased his horse, and Argonaut went on with a slight advantage to the top of the hill, Rogers then came in earnest, and succeeded in landing the popular colours of the noble earl by the shortest:of heads ; Xurullo was beaten off some distance.

South Lancashire, in company with Lady Blanche, Stan ton, and Amy, made the running, the Makeless filly and Carbineer lying off to the new ground, where they got closer together. On reaching the first half of the Abingdon Mile Test Amy rushed to the front, and, with the Makeless filly, Stanton, and Carbineer in close attendance, came on with a clear lead, which she retained to the dip. At this point Stanton was beaten, and Carbineer went in front, was never afterwards headed, and won, after a close race, by three parts of a length. Stanton was a bad fourth, South Lancashire fifth, and Lady Blanche last, beaten off a long way. Sweepstakes of 10 sous each, for 3•yr-olds and upwards.

The Life of Edward Irving, Minister of the National Scotch Church, London. Illustrated by his Journals and Correspondence. By Mrs. Oliphant. 2 vols. Hurst and Blackett. It is almost needless to observe that this is an interesting work, as most readers will know for themselves that the details of so eminent a man cannot be otherwise. The authoress has performed her task con amore, and thus the descriptions are at once animated and attractive. It is of essential service in the study of such a man's career, to be enabled to peruse his letters which are hero offered for consideration by the favour of his children. They display considerable kindness of heart and a deep humility of feeling that is not often found in the sentiments of one so followed and so flattered. Happy is it for the memory of all the famed ones of earth if, in passing away from their greatness, they leave their best and brightest records in the ties of home and kindred they have faithfully cherished. Even in the most mistaken moments of his life, Irving seems to have been more an enthu siast led away by excitement than an originator of a doctrine to lead captive adoring votaries for the honour of the plan and for the desire of aggrandise ment. We meet with some forcible lessons on the vanity of human opinions in many portions of this work. When Irving first began that career, which was afterwards to gain for him a world .wide renown, his opening days were as dark as many that have lowered over humbler and less successful bre thren. Some rudely left the church, all complained, and the same church, says the narrator, " which a few years later was disastrously crowded with hearers, coming far and near at the name of the great preacher, thinned out of its ordinary attend ance, in those early days when he was to supply Irving's place." The leader is led on through the various phases and successive changes till he reaches the proud meridian of his fame. The great influence which he exerted over his hearers is most surpris ing. It is here remarked that those who steadily resorted to hear a man who kept them three hours at a stretch plunged in the deepest questions of religion, " must indeed have been under the sway of a fasci nation seldom exercised, of which few men knew the secret." Irving's manner in private life was most impressive. "He unconsciously assigned to everybody he addressed a standing ground in some degree equal to his own. The ' vision splendid' attended him not only through his morning course, but throughout all his career. The light around him never faded into the light of common day." The second volume is chiefly filled with accounts of the several discussions and disputations that followed on the promulgation of Irving's peculiar doctrines. Of these it is not necessary here to speak, except to remark that, throughout the angry and vexed course of the most irritating of all subjects, religious con tention, Irving seems to have maintained a dignity that would have become the grandest advocate of a most glorious cause. Mistaken and misguided as he was on many points, he certainly possessed those qualities which are rarely met with in troudblohuas times. The concluding passages which re h cor .our i . visit to Glasgow, the last step in his ear l t ou lT e .l. d a or ney, are very mournful.

The Church and the Churches ; or the Papacy and the Temporal Power. R —y Dr. Dollinger. Trans lated by IV. 13. M'Cabe. Hurst and Blackett. The volume before us is the work of a German theological author of epnsiderable note, who has exercised some political influence in his own country. For four years he represented the Universit y of it Munich, being one of Fa cu lty of Theology, in the Bavarian Chamber, where her ehewas regarded as one of th e l eaders of the Ultramontanes. There appears, however, to have been some difficulty in rightly comprehending his views, since on being elected a deputy to the National Parliament in 1848, he spoke and wrote in favour of civil and religious liberty. His translator remarks that " the same spirit and the same principles which made him in religion the keenest of controversial writers, and the most earnest advocate of reforms, guided him in political life, and made him the ex ponent of the highest Catholic views and the champion of ecclesiastical freedom." The modera tion of his tone, and the fearlessness with which he discusses subjects not often handled by writers of his faith, admitting the need of reforms and altera tions, render his work somewhat peculiar. He is one of the school of thinkers who desire to see unity restored in the Christian Church, and are not without hopes of an adjustment of the differences between Catholics and Protestants. With regard to the temporal power of the Papacy, his views are best expressed in his own words :—" Let no one lose . faith in the Church, if the temporal principality of the Papacy should disappear, whether it season or for ever. It is not essence but accident;ormerly not end but means ;it began late ; be it was formerly It something quite different from what it Europe it now justly appears to us to be inditsrnsable ; and so long as the existing order s must at all costs be maintained, or if it . is . violently . d. But it is possible interrupted it must be rest9l:a , n Europe in which to conceive a political conditiondthen it would Only e the exception of the it would be superflaoustll n With a clogging burden." , ;51A 4 , rase declaring the liccobiity pr:ieerming . l "ni4 temporal power at all risks, these opinions.,,O ... 'Dri--- r—‘tl - . I Dollinger are reasonable and just. His\ vt4ric • throughout is distinguished by a degree rslity which seems to have given offence to soil members of hi s own f a i t h. Hi s v iews, of course, 4- will not be acceptable to the general English pub lic, but those who interest themselves in the ques tion of Papal authority, which seems to demand a speedy settlement, will find much to repay them in the perusal of this work, setting forth as it does in clear and simple language the opinions of one of the, most able, and at the same ti me mos t t em perate, of their opponents. ~'Y ',mac s c"'t!`r^-rt~4-3~ THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. The exhibitors had quite enough to do yeste-r -day morning to preserve their goods fmm damage from the rain, w;iich came down in a deluge into several parts of the building. In the eastern tran sept and the civil engineering department consi derable damage was done, and the most strenuous exertions became necessary to prevent further mis 4 chief. The Skidmore screen was thoroughly washed, and the floor everywhere bore marks of the inunda tion. Many theories were started as to the causo of this rather unpleasant incident : some saying that the gully-holes in the roof were too small. others, that the gutters were too large ; and a third party, that the work had been done in too great a hurry, and that the tar had all melted off the roof during the hot days. An attendant confirmed this theory by stati ng t h at the tar had come down upon him more than once in showers. The Minton fountain is going on rapidly, and is expected to be finished in about a fortnight, and the demolition of the trophies progresses slowly. Every one that is removed improves the appear ance of the nave. In some cases a sort of compro mise has been attempted, and the offenderhaambigeehnt decapitated in the hope that thus the public be satisfied. The top trophy, and one or two more, were in this state yesterday ; but they looked, if possible, worse than before. Nothing, in fact, less than the complete removal of these obstructive nuisances will make the nave a place pleasant either to look at or to walk in. Mr, Emanuel has added a wondrous black pearl to his collection, which his assistant obligingly informed the ladies weighed 100 grains, and was worth £2,ooo—two pieces of information which seemed very much to increase the general curiosity. In the Swiss court we learned that the watches which had been stolen the previous day had been recovered, and the thief caught. He was, it appears, one of the Swiss attendants, and was identified at his counter by the pawnbroker with whom he had pledged the goods. On the western platform, close to the throne, Mr. Wagner, the great Berlin silversmith, was con tinually surrounded by groups admiring the beau ties of the plate which had been prepared by order of the city of Berlin as wedding presents for the Crown Prince and Princess. The shield, the pre sent of the Rhenish nobility, was especially admired, the more so as the legend with which it was covered was lucidly explained by the artist. The plate collectively, including the shield, the vase, and the candelabra, weighs, we w ere informed, four and a half hundredweight of the finest silver. But the lion of the day was certainly the French court, which was crowded with visitors of the highest distinction. First, Queen Christina of Spain was wheeled through in a bath chair, accompanied by the Due de Rianzares, and attended by a limited suite. Shortly afterwards came several members of the ex-royal family of France, including the Queen MariesAmelie, the Duo de Nemours, the Prince de Joinville and daughter, and the Prin cess Clementine of Saxe Coburg. These dis tinguished groups stopped a long time before the splendid display of Cristophe, which seemed almost sufficient to form an exhibition of itself. The central plateau for the banquets of the Hotel de Ville, was pronounced to be a marvel both of workmanship and design, and some of the Eng lish visitors suggested that a deputation from the corporation of London should come and see how much better " they manage these matters in France." Queen Christina appeared to be most taken with the lovely porcelains (Bisque) of Gille, and the French party were much attracted by the novel combinations of bronze Dore and African onyx. We could not perceive any French detec tive following the distinguished exiles, and we were positively informed by our own police that there was not a French detective within the building. On the other hand, we are bound to admit that more than one of the French exhibitors informed us that French police officers had followed the ex- Royal Family, but " merely out of curiosity, the same as the rest of the public." The rain, as usual, kept down the attendance, but nevertheless, exclu sive of ticket holders, upwards of 4,000 persons paid for admission. THE NEW POSTAL SERVICE. A return has been given of the number of times in each month, since the Ist day of October, 1860 (the date of commencement of the New Postal Ser vice), up to the Ist day of March, 1862, that the mails have reached Kingston-pier after contract time, and gross loss of time each month from fogs, storms, and all other causes by such delay; and, of the number of times in each month when the mails have reached Kingston-pier before contract time, and total gain of time each month by such earlier arrivals, and which shows the following results : " In October, 1861, the boats were late in reach ing Kingstown 16 times, and the a mount of loss a was 14 hours 28 minutes ; w they were earlier than the while contract fl ithehours n month, 4a time on 45 occasions, in which they g ained e l 4 5 hours 57 minutes.

In April the steamers were late only 5 times, in which they lost 9 hours 18 minutes, while they were early 55 times, in which they gained 20 hours 59 minutes. In May they were late only once, in which they lost but 26 minutes, whereas they were before the stipulated time on no fewer than 61 occa sions, on which the gain amounted to 18 hours 29 minutes. In June they were late six times, losing 5 hours 27 minutes, and early 54 times, gaining 17 hours 54 minutes, In August the late arrivals amounted to 34, with a loss of 8 hours 7 minutes, partially counterbalanced by 26 arrivals before time and a gain of 4 hours 15 minutes. In September the boats were late 17 times, losing 6 hours 1 minute, and early 39 times, gaining 9 41 hours minutes. In October the voyages were m ade w ith; great rapidity, 53 early arrivals being recorded, with a saving of 13 hours 38 minute s, while the vessels were only seven times late, lo sing 3 hours. 31 late deliveries occurred in November, by whi c h 14 hours were lost, and on 27 occasions the pack e t s arrived before time, gaining 5 hours. 15 late mails in December, with a gross loss of 7 hour s 30 minutes, Ns ere compensated by a gain of 10 hours 27 27 minutes on 45 deliveries before time." year b In the present y the duties have been per regularity.
