LITERATURE. Saturday Sterne. By John Edmund Reade, author of " Wait and Hope," &c. 3 vols. Hurst and Blackett. This is a peculiar style of story that will find admirers among the lovers of the marvellous. There are many characters introduced in these pages, and for the most part they are drawn with success. Mr. and Mrs. Leigh Chandos are aptly represented as secondary personages. Of him we are succinctly informed that "the once animated and aspiring young barrister, the frequenter of the best society, and the sought after in his bachelor days, had been gradually converted into the quiet reading man, the student, and the bookworm, into the final development of the author." Mrs. Chandos had not so happily adapted herself to the change as her husband. She still regretted in their solitude the past brilliancy of her life. Their sons, Edmund and Richard, formed a striking contrast to each other. Neither of them was very attractive, Edmund being abstracted and moody,while Richard was treacherous and sel fish. A continued strife and rivalry existed be tween them, which was at last terminated in a most awful manner. The events of the latter part of the narrative are very exciting, and the fearful mystery that hung over Edmund is very ingeniously told. The sudden horror which overwhelmed the whole party was certainly a proof of the imprudence of their conduct in continually making secret appoint ments and arranging clandestine interviews. The ladies in the story are more remarkable than the gentlemen, and in their delineation the author displays considerable skill. Maude Kleobury is a finished representation of a flirt ; and she seems also totally destitute of redeeming qualities. Her only merit at best appears to be her indignant repulse of Malefort. This latter individual is rather overdrawn in his villanies. He reaped the just reward of his acts in the sad death he met with from the hands of one he had injured. Saturday Sterne, the heroine, does not appear on the scene so prominently as the primary persons of a tale mostly do, but she is very striking when she does come forward. She offers a favourable contrast to the evil conduct of Maude, and it is satisfactory to mark that at last she seems more likely to be happy than dur ing the years we have had acquaintance with her. There are many persons encountered in these pages who arc well calculated to attract attention. Tremadoc is a most remarkable man, and Owyneth is an extraordinary being, quite original in her peculiar cast of disposition. With the strange in cidents, the exciting events, and the strongly-defined characters met with in this story there is every reason to suppose that it will be approved of in many quarters. It exhibits in forcible language some important features of character that influence human life, and are mighty for good or potent for evil, according as their shape is fashioned or their course directed. The author may expect a satisfac tory result to ensue from his labours, and the skill and ingenuity which abound in these pages will infallibly arrest attention, and win regard from the circles of novel readers. Memoir of the Life of Sir Mare Isambard Brunel. By Richard Beamish, F.R.S. Longman and Co. England may well be proud of the world-wide celebrity of her engineers. In all parts of the globe are their services required. To England is due the invention of the steam engine, the formation of railroads, and the development of the electric telegraph. Although it has been too often the misfortune of Great Britain to neglect merit, and leave to other nations the benefit of the labours and discoveries of those whose necessity obliged them to seek assistance from more liberal Govern ments, in the case of Brunel England was the field in which the energies and genius of a gifted French man have been developed; while his native coun try, although claiming him as a son, has the mortification !to witness a rival nation enjoy his renown. Fate seems to have decreed that it shall be the— "Accursed inheritance of worth, To shame the land that boasts its birth, And glories in its memory." The latter part of last century is remarkable for the births of celebrated men ; two of the greatest gene rals of Western civilisation, the most successful and illustrious sea-captain of whom England can boast ; the first practical chemist in the world ; and the two fathers of scientific engineering, Sir Marc Isambard Brunel and George Stephenson. What is still more remarkable is, that with the exception of the Duke of Wellington, they all rose from an obscure and humble station to fame, wealth, and honours. It is, however, of Sir Marc Isam bard Brunel, that we have at present to treat. He was born at Hacqueville, in Normandy, on the 25th of April, 1769, and was destined by his fa ther for the Church ; a living being in the gift of the family, and, notwithstanding that the boy showed a most resolute objection to take charge of the souls of his neighbours, his father, like too many foolish, though well meaning individuals, determined to enforce obedience, and to this end the refractory urchin was often sentenced to solitary confinement, and locked up in a certain room, in which was an old family portrait with large staring eyes, which, to the excited fancy of the child, seemed to be always fixed upon him. At length he could bear it no longer, and regardless of con sequences, he pushed a tabl e t o th e wa ll, an d having placed a chair on it, so as to enable him to reach the bugbear, with his pocket-knife, he cut out both its cyes. At eleven years of age he was sent to the deminary at St. Nicaise, at Rouen, one of the numerous establishments connected with the large ecclesiastical college of that town, in the vain endeavour to bend him to th e w i ll of his parents. Here his decided talent ford raw i ng so attracted the notice of the sup er i or , th at h e was allowed the assistance of a master ; but the embryo engi neer was not satisfied with designing—his genius was practical. From childhood his amusements differed from th ose of other children. " At a period when most children carpenter's of t the can scarcely manage anordin n ar dlov ne a u yiknoiffesuanchd tools, young Brunel was familiar with th e s g h r o e p at ; es a t nd pa s r o t in o l f ,et t e h r e at t e woolass hisfou that he has been known to pawn his hat th at h e a cutler's might possess one newly exhibited i n window at Rouen, though at the time unacquai n t e d with its sp ec i a l use . All endeavours havin g f a il e d to induce th e b oy t o forego his longing for active . life, his fath er reluctan tl y con sented t o hi s entering the navy, and f or s i x years h e seems to h ave actively found engaged to particularise a r h ti i : ulai profession, but epoch in his eventful but no record ca n be life. In 1793 we f i nd him i n Paris the midst of the perils of the Revolution ; he retired to Rouen, and thence after encountered man y dangers, not withstanding which, however, he contrived t o f a ll in love with, and be accepted by, a young English lady, whom he after wards married, w h o was at that title re 4 Lchug with his friend M. Curpentier, the American Consul. To this engagement, coupled with his desire to visit England, where he had been told engineering was carried on to an extent unequalled in any other country, and to certain for tuitous circumstances, England is indebted for the benefits which the genius of Brunel has con ferred upon her. At length, France becoming too unsafe for him to remain any longer, he contrived to escape to America. An incident occurred at this time which shows the universal genius of Brunel and his ready wit to combat all difficulties. On reaching the ship that was to convey him to the United States, he discovered that he had lost his passport. Nothing daunted, however, he borrowed the passport of a fellow-passenger, and in a short time produced so exact a copy as to defy detection. Having passed some years in A mer ic a , where he distinguished himself by his practical knowledge, his talents for adaptati on , an d hi s ever rea d y i expedients n cases of diffi cu lty, h e f u lfill e d hi s l ong cherished desire of visiting England. In January, 1799, he bade farewell to America, and from that time, in act, thought, an d d es i re , h e may be considered as an Englishman, and, in truth, he considered the land of his adopti on as hi s coun try. His career since that time i s a ma tt er o f English engineering history. But his great work— the work of the age, at that time considered as an impossibility—TheThamesTunnel—will alone hand his name down to posterity. Since that period greater wonders have been effected and more bene ficial results obtained, but these in no way detract from the glory and merit of the early engineer who had to combat prejudice, ignorance, and in terest in nearly all his undertakings. Does the fact that a Liverpool clipper can now twice circumnavi gate the globe in a twelvemonth prgve that the services of Columbus fin I Cook, were of small im portance. On the contrary, w e must estim a t e th e value of their labour by its mighty results. In like manner do Mr. I. Brunel and G. Stephenson stand forth as the fathers of modern engineering. To enter into a detailed account of the m any improve ments which Brunel effectedin the various branches of sciences and manufactures and the p a t ents w hi ch he took out would be to interpolate Mr. B eam i s h' s excellent work. In fact, there is scarcely a branch of mechanism in which be has not made some im provement. We find him engaged b y the Admi ra lt y in constructing machinery for making blocks for the navy, he anticipated the go-a-head Yankees by some 40 years in the manufacture of peg shoes and stitch ing machines. which inventions with certain altera tions and improvements are now of course bona fide American as much as a printed copyright. Although the list of patents is no measure of the number improvements effected by i Brunel, t will never. theless show the universality of his genius LIST 01 PATENTS. A.D. 1799.

The illustrations are clearly and well exe cuted, and the workaltogether is got up in first-rate style. TIIE CIVIL JVAR IN AMERICA. (From tlw Special Correspondent of the Times.) WASHINGTON, APRIL 3. Before I proceed to write the last letter, in all probability, which I shall have occasion to date from the United States of America, it will be necessary to state the circumstances under which I am com pelled to abandon the post to which I have been so long faithful, under an ordeal the severity of which can be known to none but myself. While there was a chance of my being useful in correcting the exaggerations and misstatements whioh were sent across the Atlantic, I endured the hostility that bad been engendered against me, and 1 did not despair of the American people in the Northern , States eventually doing justice to the integrity of my motives, particularly if fortune should give me an opportunity of recording a victory, instead of detailing the incidents and the close of a defeat. Although I had extenuated much, I was conscious I had never set down aught in malice concerning them. I bore the attacks made upon me in silence which I shall not qualify by any adjective, and from time to time my patience was rewarded by unexpected marks of sympathy and by tokens of friendshipand goodwill which I shall always cherish. But new a power is brought to bear against me which I cannot resist nor evade. The Government ofithe United States of America not merely refuses me permission to accompany its armies in the field ; it not only gives me orders not to do so, but the Se cretary of War, if not with the original sanction, at least without the dissent of the President, prevents the General in Command of the Army of the Poto mac receiving me in his camp, after he had invited me to attend the progress of his army ; and, through me, treats the officer who was but a few weeks ago the idol of statesmen, journalists, and people, as he is yet the favourite of his army, with marked dis courtesy. The guest of General M'Clellan is for bidden to embark on board the ship on which he had received a passage, by his express authority, and is removed by the express directions of Mr. Stanton from under the charge of the officer of the General's Staff to whom he had been consigned. I shall now proceed to relate the circumstances under which I was made subject to this interference, without a word of comment, save such as may occur incidentally in the way of correction in this brief narrative. On my return to Washington, after the time for winter quarters had passed away, and after I had waited vainly in daily expectation of an on ward movement, I became aware that Gen. M'Clel lan was about to take the field. I at once made ap plication to him for permission to accompany the army, with any facilities he could grant me. To that request I received no reply for some time. Various officers of the army in command of corps or 1 brigades informed me they would gladly allow me to go with them if I could obtain the leave of the Commander-in- Chief. After several days had passed, seeing the magnitude and completeness of the pre parations, and feeling uneasy at the silence at Head the Secretary of guarantee War uaarr such e u r e s h , e s t t o e u r g s ht as t o w o o u b l t d a n be fro s t u n incient for my friends to take me, in case Gen. M'Clellan did not object to my presence 'with other corps in the field. Mr. Stanton, to whom I was introduced at his own house, gave me to understand there would be no objection whatever on his part to my accompanying the army, and said th a t h e wou ld see whether he could grant my request to be allowed to purchase food and forage from the Commissariat at contract prices in case of need, observing at the same time that ho had been obliged to refuse nume rous applications from the American journalists of a similar character,but that he would d o everyt hi ng i n his power to meet my wishes. Pre v i ous to that inter view I had seen Mr. Watson, th e Under-Secretary of War, who told me Mr. Stanton h a d d ec id e d on leaving all applications for autho r i ty to accompany the army, and for facilities in doing so, in the hands of General M'Clellan, that he might d ea l w i t h th em as he pleased, and that he had resolved not to inter fere at all in the matter. This latter conversation took place at the War Department, in the presence of Mr. Ashman. Not having heard from Mr. Stanton in reference to my request, I wrote to him again, begging he would be kind enough to d ec id e the point, as time was rapidly pa ss i ng away; an d I also renewed my applications to General M'Clellan. I pointed out in conversation to the authorities that I had not the means of accompa ny i ng t h e arm y w hich were posse see d by the cor respondents o f t h e American journals, sow of them actually in the public service on land and by sea, and all of whom were acquainted with officers, who received them in camp and afloat without any risk of exposing themselves to censure or attack by unpopular hos pitality. Th ose officers with whom I was acqua i nte d were the v ery l ast men I wou ld care t o expose to slander or di sparagement by my presence near them, unless I had the sanction of higher authority for accepting their kindly invitations. I was a stranger, and I did not belong, as Mr. Seward had pointed out, to the press of the United States. Without some kind of recognition, I could not pos sibly take the field. At last, on the 22(1 of March, I received a letter from General Marcy, Chief of the Staff, requesting me to call upon him that morning at his office, and on going there he informed me that General M'Clellan bad directed him to say he had . not the least objection to my accompanying the army, and he not only gave me permission to do so, but would be glad to be of any assistance in his power. The General made some remarks, whi c h need not be repeated here, in reference to other matters bearing on my presence at Head-Quarters. Two or three days afterwards S.A.R. the Comte de Paris, Aide.de-Camp of General M'Clellan, was sent in from Alexandria to say that the General would be very happy to take me and some mutual friends with the expedition, and the message was duly delivered. Brigadier-General Van Vliet, the Quartermaster of the Army of the Potomac, and Aide-de-Camp of General M'Clellan, had meantime received authority from-theoGeneral to take us on board his transport, as indeed General Marcy gave me to understand would be the case when I saw him. Each of us was to take his own land transport, blanket, and provisions, to lay in stores, and to provide for himself without any charge to Govern ment. The day afterwards I received from General Marcy a written pass for all places inside the lines of the Army of the Potomac, which was intended as a general authority for me to go where I pleased within the Federal lines. Having made the neces sary purchases and arrangements, laid in a stock of stores, and prepared for all emergencies —minus the appearance of the Merrimac—the party, which consisted of Colonel Neville, Scots Fusilier Guards ; Lieutenant-Colonel Fletcher, Scots Fusilier Guards; and Mr. L'Amy (I hope they will pardon this in troduction of their names) yesterday morning, at 10.30:proceeded on board the steamer Canonicus, lying in the river, above the Navy-yard. General Van Vliet came down soon afterwards, and as his staff and horses, and our baggage, including a light waggon, &c., were on board, we were indulging in the hope of being able to get a glimpse of the de serted Confederate batteries on the river before sun set, when a messenger from the War Department arrived to say that Mr. Stanton desired to see Gen. Van Vliet immediately. He went on shore promis ing to be back very soon, but more than two hours passed before he returned. I shall not dwell upon the kindly embarrassment and expressions of regret with which he fulfilled the duty he assured me was so disagreeable and distasteful to him, but in effect he told me Mr. Stanton had finally given him the most positive orders not to permit me to stay on board the transport. I reminded him as gently as possible that I was General M'Clellan's guest, and that I had General Marcy's written pass in my poc ket. He was aware of the one fact and of the other, and I showed him the General's order as a formal step in the proceedings. But what could General Van Vliet do ? As he said," Here are the Secretary of State's orders." He held in his hand two papers which he read, and which he permitted me to copy They were as follows : (No. I.) " To BRIGADIER-GENERAL VAN VLIET, QUARTER MASTER AND A.D.C. " War Department, Washington City, D.C., April 2. " The Secretary of War directs that no person not in the public service be permitted upon tho transports, except by permission given by the War Department. " I am, respectfully, your obedient servant, " M. C. MEIGS, Quartermaster-General." The other ran thus : (No. 2 ) " To BRIGADIER-GENERAL VAN VLIET. " War Department, City of Washington, D.C., April 2. " Colonels Neville and Fletcher and Captain L'Amy, of the British army, having been invited by Major-General M'Clellan to accompany the expeditionary force (or expedi tions) from Alexandria, you are authorised to exempt them from the operation of the order of this date. " By order of the Secretary of War, " M. C. MEIGS, Quartermaster-General." It was obvious that the intention of Mr. Stanton was directly personal to myself, and that he had taken all this trouble to exclude me especially, although he was made aware that I was as much the invited guest of General M'Clellan as Colonels Neville and Fletcher, or Mr. L'Amy. What his object may have been it is not worth while to in quire; but if he sought to make General M'Clellan unpopular, or to expose him to assault because of his courtesy to me, his motive could scarcely be re conciled with h.s cwn very great civility to myself a very short time before, and his assurance that he would give me every assistance in his power in carrying out what he knew I had in view. Nay, more, Mr. Stanton, but a few days previously, at the house of one of the Ministers, wrote me a pass which concluded with these words : , " All officers and persons in the service of the United States are enjoined to treat Mr. Russell with every cour tesy, and to extend to him every protection in their power. " E. M. STANTON, Secretary at War." Nothing whatever had occurred meantime to alter such relations as had subsisted between us. However, there was now no use in remonstrance. I went on shore, and with the aid of Gen. Van Vliet and my friends, I got my baggage on the wharf, and drove back with my servant and waggon to Washington. lat once addressed a letter to the ' President of the United States, in which I laid all the proceedings, as above stated, before him, in a respectful manner, for his consideration, con cluding with the remark that his kindness towards me led me to hope he would think the circumstances of the case, as well as my entire unconsciousness of any cause for the treatment to which I had been exposed, justified my appeal to him. That evening I received a letter from Mr. Hay, the President's private secretary, of which the following is a copy:— "Executive Mansion, Washington, April 11 "My dear Sir,—l submitted your communication of this date to the President immediately upon his return to the city, from Mount Vernon, where ho has been passing the day. He directs me to say that, while he regrets your having been exposed to any inconvenience by the late order of tho Secretary of War, he does not think it would be proper for him to overrule the decision of Mr. Stanton without fur ther examination of the subject.—l have the honour to be, I your obedient servant, . “ JOHN HAY.” Not having heard from the President's secretary up to the afternoon of (this) the next day I wrote to Mr. Hay again stating that I was only waiting in Washington to know the result, and that I would feel much obliged by his communicating it to me as speedily as might be convenient, or by his inform ing me when I might expect a communication of the President's decision. I also addressed a letter to Mr. Stanton, the Secretary of War, ou my re turn, of which the following is a copy as nearly as I can remember "457, 17th Street, April 3. " Sir,—A few days ago you wrote me a pass at the house of the Minister, in which you desired all persons in the service of the United States to treat me with courtesy and to extend to me every protection in their power. To-day I am refused, by your order, permission to go as the invited guest of General M'Clellan with the expedition under his command, along with my other friends, to whom he had exhibited similar courtesy. . . lam not conscious, in the interval that has elapsed, of any cause for the change of treatment which has occurred towards me. If there be, at least I should have, in justice to myself, an opportunity of knowing what it is before I leave for Europe, which I shall do in a couple of days. The very eminence of your position, and the immensity of your power should rather strengthen the force of this appeal from one so humble as myself in any coo —particularly should it do so in the pre sent instance." _ . To that I have as yet received n o r eply lat the same time sent a letter to General Marcy, chief of ;the Staff, as follows: " April 2, 1862. " Sir ! —Some days after you were good enough to inform tee that General M'Clellan would have no objection to my xte n effect, ded t,o s butfifrrr: friends nroa m dn sdt o ho r lo e f accompanying the expedition under his command I received through S.

We embarked at 10 :30 or 11 a.m., and Wpre about sailing, when General Van Vliet was summoned to the War-office, and on his return, two hours afterwards, told me very kindly and courteously that Mr. Stanton had ordered him not to let me proceed with my friends. I re minded General Van Vliet that I had your pass in writing, and the invitation of the Commander-in-Chief of the Army of the Potomac, as he knew, to accompany the expedition. He then showed me two orders in writing, signed by General Meigs, and addressed to him. The first directed him not to permit any one not in the service of the United States to enter upon any transport without the permission of the Secretary of War. The second said that ' Colonels Neville and Fletcher, and Captain L'Amy, of the British array, having been invited by Major-General M'Clellan to accom pany the expedition from Alexandria, they were to be ex empted from the order of the same date of the War.

You know, Sir, how scrupulous I waste obtain the leave of the General before 1 made any arrangement, and how utterly unex pected was such an interference with me. I have only to say, in conclusion, that I have referred the details of the transaction to the President of the United States, and that I have also made a direct appeal to the Secretary of War I against his treatment, which was aggravated by its con comitant incidents. To the General I beg you will tender the expression of my sincere thanks for his intended kind ness towards me, and say how much I regret I shall not have an opportunity of showing in Europe that he can lead the army he has trained so long to great and glorious com bats. To you, dear Sir, I tender my best thanks for your unfailing courtesy." It is now evening, and as I have not received any reply, I shall close this narrative as it stands, reserving the continuation, if any, till to-morrow, with the sole remark that there will be, no doubt, an attempt made to prove that the rule, if observed, is not and was not specially intended for me. From words which fell in quarters it would be injudicious in me, having regard to their interests, to indicate particularly, I am led to believe that Mr. Stanton was actuated by a desire to show his power in a manner which might at once gain him the approba tion of certain journals in the North, and at the same time make General M'Clellan feel his subordi nate position ; and, if the same authorities do not err, he is influenced by the jealousy which has been openly attributed to him of that officer on political and personal grounds. In that conclu sion, however, I may do Mr. Stanton an injustice. It is certainly incontrovertible that the military authorities decided some • time ago they would permit the known correspondents of public journals to attend the march of the Federal armies; and, as I said before, the Assistant-Secretary of War informed me that Mr. Stanton had decided on leaving the question respecting them exclusively in the hands of General M'Clellan. In reference to a remark of mine about the account of the final rout at Bull Run, he added, "I fear the only fault to be found with your account, from what I heard, is that it was but too true." APRIL 4. The President has decided the question ; his dec slot' is ccntaincd in the following letter : " Executive Mansion, April 4, 1862. "My dear Sir,—l have referred your communication to the President, who has given it duo consideration. " lie directs me to say that, with every disposition to oblige you, he is disinclined to overrule a decision of the Secretary of War, founded on what appear to the Secretary considerations of high public importance. To do so in your case alone would seem to all others an invidious dis tinction. "The President regrets that ho cannot gratify you in this matter.—l havo the honour to be, very truly, your obedient servant, "JOHN HAY." The above communication was received about 11 o'clock a.m. In acknowledging the receipt of it I took occasion to observe that the remarks appended were not intended as argumentative matter against the decision of the President, which I accepted with respect, but were intended to justify me against any charge of intrusiveness in attempting to perform my duty. I pointed out that there could be no ground for any offence, nor would there be any invidious distinction in my case, had I been permitted to go with the expedition. I was acquainted with General M'Clellan, and had been, with three others, specially invited by him to accompany his army in the field. Of those so invited by him I was the only per son prohibited by the Secretary of War from going. The camps were full of correspondents of the Ame rican journals. From Europe, so far as I was aware, there were only two gentlemen who desired to ac company the army as representatives of the press ; one was Mr. Vizetelly, an artist, whose sketches would scarcely be of much use to the enemy ; the other was myself, whose letters 'would not be re ceived in this country till a month after the events to which they referred had elapsed. There, with my acknowledgments of the courtesy I had received, all the more grateful from contrast, the correspondence ended. Mr. Stanton has sent no reply to my letter. It may be as well to add that the news of his refusal to permit General M'Clellan to take me on the expe dition was rapidly spread abroad, with many exaggerations and in many absurd forms, which, however, produced their effect on the minds of other officers prepared to afford me similar accommodation, , so that I received hints that it would be necessary for me to obtain papers and passes before the invita tions they had given could be ratified or properly fulfilled. APRIL 5. Before I leave the subject I may mention that last night Mr. Stanton sent advertisements to the papers to the effect that no persons are to be ad mitted on board United States' transports 'who are not in United States' service, unless with the special order of the War Department —a good afterthought. It is further announced in the papers that Mr. Stanton has resolved not to permit the correspon dents of "foreign journals" to accompany the army. The reason assigned for that decision is very flatter ing to their independence and truthfulness, while it speaks more than many volumes for the condition of the United States' press and the state to which it has been reduced. It was in effect that Mr. Stanton could not punish foreign correspondents if they stated anything which he considered at all objec tionable, while he could deal in a proper manner with any native journalist who offended against his canons. At first it was asserted he would not allow any newspaper to have a representative in the camps; but this was only a pretence, a lthough th e statement was fortified by the appearance of be order fro m G enera l B ue ll that no persons sh allowed to go with his forces in th e Wes t o unless they were in the service or were employed b y per sons actually on duty, in which c ase they should u ls sioo accompany a friend him, was informed that cas Londo n be provided with written certi ficates .

Stanton says LORD PALMERSTON AT ROMSE.E. ROM SEY, WEDNESDAY. The inauguration of an exhibition of works of art and industry took place at Romsey this day, under the auspices of Lord Palmerston, who has been staying at Broadlands during the Easter re cess. Th e ceremon y took place in the T own H e . 11. The noble lord, who was accompanied by Lady Pal:- merston, the Earl and Countess of Shaftesbury, and a numerous party of visitors from Broadlands, was received at the Town llall, which was gaily deco rated fur the occasion, by a guard of honour, com posed of the llth Hants (Romsey) Volunt9vs• 'l'ho band of the corps was also in at tendance, aird their li;•ely strains gave an additional attraction t o the proceedings. The proceeds of the exhibition will be devoted to the Romsey Reading Association ahlkl. the rifle corps, Lind great credit is due to the vicar• and Mr. Tylee, the seezetary of the Reading Society, for the great exertions they have made in promoting the objects of the exhibition. The proceedings having been opened by the ,sing ing of an ode to Lord Palmerston, written by ...the Rev. L. Berthon, Lord PALMEItSTON, who was received with great enthusiasm, said Ladies and gentlErn , ...n r . 1 ant proud of having been permitted to attend the open ing of this interesting exhibition, and not the less so because I appear before you in that which i. 4; generally considered not a very enviable position.,, namely, that of a false rrophet. lam bound to confess that when our excellent vicar first co/ 11 , mi _ nicated to me the intention of the town of Rotnsey to set on foot an exhibition of this kind, I hastily, and not sufficiently estimating the energy of the people of Romsey, expressed an opinion, or rath.er an apprehension, that the project would fail. This magnificent display of works of art, and science, and industry, and the numerous assembly which I now have the honour of addressing, amply refute the ex- pectations which I then expr;ssed r an d show that I am what I stated—in that respect, a least—a false prophet. (Laughter and cheers.) But, unlike false prophets in general, I rejoice in the misconception under which I laboured and falsification of my pro phecy; for nothing can be moreV•atifying than to see the results of the labours of those who have been charged with prepaiing this exhibition. (Cheers.) I may add that I this'll; from those whom I now see assembled in this room, there is every rea sonable prospect that not only will these walls con tain objects worthy of admiration and of study, but will be filled by those who will be rt.'ady to ad mire and improve themselves by what t . . / leY see. There can be no question that periodical dispisays of the works of genius tend not only to amuse but to improve and cultivate our minds. They show those models of perfection which, more or less, other men may imitate, and perhaps may equal. This is not merely confined to exhibitions of this sort. I re member some years making a tGur through Holland a country peopled by men who are industrious, per severing, and who neglect no opportunity of im proving themselves and the country in which they live ; and every town of any consideration that I passed through had not merely a temporary exhi bition, but a permanent museum containing a col lection of matters of general interest. (Cheers.) Well, I am afraid that we cannot in this little town of Romsey aim at aspiring so high until their be some Romsey Hartley who will be kind enough. to bequeath us a large legacy. (Laughter.) I will venture to say that if that should happen the people, of Romsey will not spend more than one-half of it in litigation before they are able to lay the first stone of a building in honour of the founder. (Laughter.) It is most gratifying to sec the results of the energy and diligence—the unconquerable diligence of those who have been charged with arranging and getting: together this exhibition. But among the objects of interest and adtuirati6M which this exhibition brings before us, I must not forgeti to point out to you the proof it affords of the universal g - .en ius of our worthy vicir, for not only .1003 he, as you All know, tal.t - % especial and good care of your welfare in a future, world, but you will see in one of the coinvartinentl- - i of this exhibition a most skilful arrangement; for preserving the lives of men in this world front shipwreck and other accidents at sea. (Cheers.) We people of Romsey—l am proud to call myself one, for I was born here close by—(loud cheers)-- we people of Romsey have some reason to be satisfied with that which this town has produced in the way of human intellect. (Hear, hear, and. loud cheers.) We have seen in our abbey church a monument to Sir William Petty, a man most dis tinguished in the history of the country, who was born in Romsey. (Cheers.) Well, there was ano ther instance of genius which I may be permitted'. to mention, namely, that among your townsmen of the present time there was a Mr. Lordan, who per formed that which is a feat in literature. He printed a book which he had never written, but which he had composed, and as fast as he composed. it, word for word, instead of writing it down in manuscript for future correction, as most authors do, he set to work and printed it off at once. Hero we have the book now printed from the actual and immediate impulse of Mr. Lordan's mind. (Cheers.) As I have already said, it is not surprising that we here in Romsey should take pleasure in seeing the. produce of modern industry, skill, and genius, when we have here, in our town, to contemplate every day one of the most splendid monuments of the genius of times gone by, In that venerable church, which I mop venture to say has, all things conoiaered, no rival—certainly no superior —in any part of the kingdom. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) I thank you for having been permitted to be pre sent at the opening of this exhibition, and I hope the room may, every day it is open, be as crowded as it is at the present moment. (Loud cheers.) The Mayor of ROMSEY, in proposing "three cheers for Lord Palmerston," said the committee had laboured, and he trusted not unsuccessfully, to place before them a collection of gems of art which should not be unworthy their attention and study. The Vicar of ROMSEY seconded the proposition, and felt bound to express his gratitude to Lord and taady Palmerston for the encouragement which he had received at their hands. Three cheers were then given for Lord Palmer ston, and three more for Lady Palmerston, who t o i insp ect bowed her acknowledgments. The Vicar of ROMSEY then d eclared the exhibi tion opened, and the a assemblymos t the various articles sent for exhibition. The col lection, considering t he p urel y local character of valuableproceeded and interes t ings lee t one the . exhibition, The pri principal contributors w ere Lord Pal merston, Sir W.
