" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra.

Just published, DR EAM LAND. With other Poems, By W. CHARLES KENT, Barrister-at -Law. Fcap. Bvo., price 6s. „__ . "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. ' Pructidoe 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."—Atheneum. "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 eg,otist. Bnt it is by no means his only merit. lie is a mas ter of versification. lhe flow o' 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. the Dying Bridegroom' is distinguished by a genuine pathos, which leads us to be lieve that 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 portraf's 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 real poet, 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 Dance, s.' "—The Press. ALETHEIA ; OR, THE Doom OF MYTHOLOGY.

The locality of the tale in question is a cathedral town called Helstonleigh, containing a "King's school,'' the boys belonging to Which figure largely in the story; and one aim of the authoress is to show the influence of early training on the manners and fortunes of youth as exempli fied in two families, the Yorkcs and the Channings. The former having lost their father whilst young, and been indulged by - their mother, art self willed, impulsive, and somewhat unscrupulous, though not wholly destitute of gooit nature, and their career is far from satisfactory. But the Channings, on the other hand, possessing both patents and being early imbued with good principles, bear the ordeal to which they are subjected With firmness, and come forth at the end triumphant. Nor are their trials trivial or few, ":They some not single Spies but in battalions." This the father is bed ridden with rheumatism, and is supposed incu rable. Then a law suit is lost upon which seemingly depended the fortunes of the fa mily, and in the hope of gaining which they had got in debt. The second son is now accused of stealing a bank note, and loses his situation. The eldest son is thought by some of the family to be the real thief, and is, moreover, suspected of falsifying his father's account book. The third son, in con sequence of his brother's disgrace, loses his post of senior at the school, and with it the chance of being sent to college. The youngest son, after being scared out of his wits one night by a sham ghost, falls into the river and is set down as drowned, whilst the eldest daughter is forced to go out as governess, and has to break off her marriage en gagement in consequence of these family disgraces and troubles. But "the whirligig of time (and the third volume) brings about its revenges." The father is cured by a visit to some German baths. The two suspected thieves are exonerated and re compensed. The schoolboy gets his seniorship and Oxford Exhibition. the youngesLAß turns up after a time, only the worse for the loss'6l.his hair (cut off during fever); and the daughter is Married happily and settled comfortably. Thus substantial justice is done to the deserving, and•the litter end of the family is more blessed than'the beginning. Of the executive merit of the novel we can speak in very high terms. The intereqtta£ the plot is ad mirably sustaietd ; the character are varied and real; whilst the narrative and _dialogue are ex tremely animated and dramatic:_" The pictures of schoolboy life are especially good ; and we: can scarcely mark our approval more than by saying that we read it through from beginning t 6 end without fatigue, and with pleasure. was so struck with his appearance and fascinated by his eloquence that he raised him to the highest dignity and thdde him his bosom friend.

Black wood and Sensl Among the manias to which the human rare is liable, that of book collecting holds a prominent place; and if it cannot always pretend to a high degree of usefulness, it is at least comparatively harmless. Among collators generally :esthetics are at a discount. The rarity of a thing, not its beauty, is with them the test of its value. The dif ference in appreciative power between a (collector of criminals' relics, of snuff-boxes, or of prints, would be, we fear, infiniteesimal. And it is pretty clear from Mr. Burton's amusing revelations of the mys teries of his craft, that literary merit is, generally, the very last quality that causes it to bring a high price in the market.. Thus book collectors must by no means be confounded with scholars, though they may number scholars in their ranks; they consist rather of men with means, leisure, and largely-de veloped organs of acquisitiveness, whose energies have been directed into this particular channel ; and, once commenced, the practice would seem to be like that of gambling, beyond the reach of remedy. Treating his subject systematically, Mr. Burton divides it into four parts; the first discuss ing the " nature" of the book-hunter, the second his " functions," the third his " club," and the fourth " book-elub literature," these being again elabo rately subdivided. Thus, under the head of " Mighty Book-hunters," he gives us clever sketches of some of the Tritons of the race; and under that of " Classification," some of the points upcn which collectors lavish their regard, are ex plained to us thus:—" Some collectors may be styled Rubricis ts,being influenced by a sacred rage for books having the contents and marginal references printed in red ink. Some "go at" flowered capitals, others at"broadmargins;" again,"collectors there have been, not unimportant for number and zeal, whose mis sion it is to purchase books marked by peculiar mistakes or errors of the press. The celebrated Elzevir Czesar,' of 1635, is known by this, that the number of the 149th page is misprinted 153:" To collectors of this class an accident which occurred to the recent work known as the Men of the lime, is a godsend. It sometimes happens in a printing office that some of the types, perhaps a printed line or two, fall out of "the forme." Those in whose hands the accident occurs generally try to put things to rights as well as they can, and m a y b e very successful in restoring appearances with the most deplorable results to the sense, It happened thus in the instance referred to. A few lines drop ping out of the "Life of Robert Owen," the paral lelogram communist, were hustled, as the nearest place of refuge, into the biography of his closest alphabetical neighbour—" Oxford, Bishop of." The consequence is, that the article begins as follows: A RUSSIAN REFORMER. First, it is impossible not to be struck by the savage spirit in which he fulfilled his task. We are not altogether unaccustomed to rough action and speech in Martin Luther and Sohn Knox; but we must expect something more m the Scythian atmosphere of Russia Again.refer to the journal of Archdeacon Paul. "He was," says the arch deacon, "a very butcher among the clergy. His jams saries are perpetually going round the city ; and whet they find any priest or monk in a state of intoxication, they carry him to prison. etrin him, and scourge hint. his pris)iis are full of thein, galled With heavy chains and logs of wood on their necks and legs, or they sift flour day and night in the bakehouse." The deserts of Siberia were filled with dissolute clergy; banished there with their wives and dill , dren. An instance is relorded hardly credible, but too characteristic to be omitted, perhapd net so much of his wild severity as of his barbarian humour. It Was at one of the numerous banqu e t s , a ttended by the patriarch of Antioch, that Niktin, partly to show off the wonders 9f his master's vast dominions, partly to satisfy the curiosity of his own inquisitive mind, called before him thirty chiefs of a distant Kalmuck tribe, called from the appearance of their physiognomies, the dog-faced tribe, or (as a euphe mism) the tribe of the dog-faced saint, St. Christopher. As soon as they entered, the whole assembly was struck with horror. They burned their heads, and bowed to the patriarch with great veneration, crouching to the ground all in a lamp, like pigs. After various questions as to their mode of life, and travelling, and warfare, he said, "Is it really true that you eat the flesh of men ?" They laughed, and answered, " We oat our dead, and we- eat dogs ; how, then, should wo not eat men ?" He said; " How do you eat men ?" They replied, " When we have conquered a man, we cut away, his nose, and then carve him into pieces and eat him." 'Thi'fiaid, " I have a man here who deserves death ; 1 will send for him and present him to you, that you may eat him." Hereupon they began earnestly to entreat him, saying, " Good lord, whenever you have any men deserving of death, do not trouble yourself about their guilt, or their punishment; but give them us to eat, and you will do us:a great kindness. The unfortunate victim with whom Nikon intended to play off this experiment was no less a person than the Metroplitan of Mira. It happened that, amidst other " odious deformities" of himself and his companions, on a recent visit to Mospow, they were found smoking tobacco, and all, except himself, were sent into banishment. Nikon was still, however, enraged against him ; "for," says the Syrian archdeacon, "no crime with him is ever forgiven; and he now sent to hivie 'him brought to those savages that they might eat hire; but he was not to be found, having hid himself," The natural result of this line of conduct was that a powerful party formed against him, lie lost the Czar's favour, was deprived of his dignities, exiled to a monastery, led the life of a hermit, and died in the odour' of sanctity. The " Brief Literary Notices" at the end of the number are numerous and inte resting. The London Review—April. " Oxford, The Right Reverend Samuel Wilberforce, Bishop of, was born in 1805. A more kind-hearted and truly benevolent man does not exist. A sceptic as regards religious revelation, he is nevertheless an out •and-out be liever in spirit movements." By no means favourable to the Broad Church Party, this number opens with a severe rebuke to Dr. Colenso, Bishop of Natal, for the views ex pressed by him in his recent work, " St. ;Paul's Epistle to the Romans ; newly translated finia ex plained from a missionary: .point of view." Th e writer styles him a " most rash and confused thinker," but he makes Messrs. Maurice and Kingsley row in the same boat, and raps Tenny son's knuckles after this fashion : THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. Whenever this blunder was discovered, the leaf wa cancelled : but a few copies of the book had got into circulation, which some day or other may be very valuable. Diverging then to book sales, the writer mentions some of the most memorable, among which that of the Duke of Roxburghe takes the lead. It lasted two and forty days, the books comprising ten thousand lots, and being all of rarity and value ; but the great bone of contention was the Venetian Boccaccio which the Duke's father had bought for £lOO. The competitors on this occasion were the Marquis of Blandford and Earl Spencer, and after a "spirited competition" it was secured by the former for £2,260. The largest sale, however, on record, was that of Mr. Heber's colleetion ; the fol lowing will give some idea of its extent. " Some years ago," says th© writer in the Gentleman's Magazine, " he built a new library at his house at Hodnet, which is said to be full. His residence at Pimlico, where ho died, is filled, like Magliabechi's at Florence, with books, from the top to the bottom. —every chair, every table, every passage contain ing piles of erudition. He had another house in York-street, leading to Great James-street, West minster, laden from the ground floor to the garret with curious books. He had a library in the High street, Oxford, an immense library at Paris, another at Antwerp, another at Brussels, another at Ghent, and at other places in the Low Countries and in Germany." Surely the lust of accumulation could no further go ! But one of the most amusing sec tions of the book is that called " The Gleaner and his Harvest," which turns on the strange titles and stranger contents by which some works are cha racterised. Those by natives of the Emerald Isle furnish some good specimens, thus—" The Irish Statute-book" opens characteristically with "An act that the King's Officers may travel by sea from one place to another within the land of Ire land." And further on we have a whole series of acts, with a conjunction of epithets in their titles which at the present day sounds rather startling, " for the better suppressing Tories, Robbers, and Rapparees, and for preventing robberies, burglaries and other heinous crimes." A curious fact con nected with books is their comparative non-inflam mability. "In the days when heretical books were burned, it was necessary to place them on large wooden stages, and after all the pains taken to de molish them, considerable readable masses were sometimes found in the embers; whence it was sup posed that the devil, conversant in fire and its effects, gave them his special protection. In the end it was found easier and cheaper to burn the heretics themselves than their books." Famous BANQUET TO THE COMMISSIONERS AT THE MANSION-HOUSE. Last night the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress entertained a very numerous and distinguished com pany at the Mansion-house, to meet H.Q.H. the Duke of Cambridge and her Majesty's Comtiaissioners for the International Exhibition of 1862. THEOLOGY OF TENNYSON. We were willing to hope that the bishop had misun derstood the Poet Laureate, or made an unfair use of his words. But on turning over the volume again, we find what fully justifies his quotation. How can it be suffi ciently regretted that so fine a work as " In Memoriam" should be used as a vehicle for the promulgation of anti- Christian. opinion? The refinement of feeling, the strength of affection, the felicity of delineation, the purity of diction, the subtlety of thought, the elevation of sentiment, which we recognise with so much pleasure on a renewed exami nation, only lead us to indulge a deep sorrow at the author's ignorance or perversion of evangelical truth. Mr. Tenny son invokes the Son of God, and contradicts him on the same dedicatory page. He yearns after " the Christ that is to be," and virtually ignores " Him that livoth, and was dead, and is alive for evermore." But if Ho has indeed overcome the sharpness of death, and opened the king dom of heaven to all believers, why these complaints about the darkness and uncertainty of the future ? What need is there to fall upon the great world's altar stairs, — "That slope through darkness up to God," After the cloth had been removed, and grace bad been sung, The LORD MAYOR gave the " Health of the Queen"—the first toast, he said, in every assemblage of Englishmen—and the toast was most enthusias tically received. They were, he thought, particu larly bound to do honour to this toast on, such an occasion, seeing that her Majesty had exhibited the deepest solicitude in reference to this great nati3nal co-operative undertaking. The event, as they might well imagine, would re-open that deep grief which had now for some time pressed so heavily upon the heart of our Queen. (Hear, hear.) Nor could they be unmindful of the great loss which the enterprize itself had suffered, by reason of the calamity which had befallen her Majesty. (Hear.) The reign of Victoria had been beneficial, not only to our own happy country, but it had also contributed materi ally to tho ndvanooment of other natiofirs. Her teigu had beeu such that every one present must cordially unite in the fervent hope that the beloved Sovereign of these realms might, by God's favour, long be spared to continue to fill the exalted position which she at present occupied, and in which it had been His pleasure to place her. (Applause.) The toast was drunk . with great enthusiasm, in which the foreign guests seemed most sincerely to unite. si hen our Saviour has said," I am the light of the world ; he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." If He has pronounced a special blessing on " those who have not seen and yet have be lieved," why complain that " We have but faith, we cannot know, For knowledge is of things V7O sec ?" This faith that teaches nothing, and leaves its votaries as ignorant and as much perplexed as the heathen, is certainly not " the faith of God's elect ;" and if we are to take the Laureate's confessions as the practical ernbcdiment of the teaching of Dr. Cams() and Mr. Maurice, it is very plainly seen that this "other Gospel is not another," but, as sa'd above, no good news at all. Instead of walking in the light, and rejoicing in hope of the glory of God, its votaries are infants " crying in the night," and " for a light," " and with no language but a cry." Instead of having a hope entering within the veil, sure and steadfast, as an anchor of the soul, they ask, "What hope of answer or redress behind the veil ?" and cry out in vain to their deceased friends to tell them something. They "faintly trust," even to the realisation of their own expectations. Where the true Gospel provides certainty, they are unable to rise beyond the vaguest and most ill-defined expectations. They "trust that somehow good will be the final goal of ill ;" but beyond this they cannot rise. "Behold, we know not any thing, I can but trust that good shall fall; At last—far off—at last to all, And every winter change to spring." And is this the most accomplished poet of the nineteenth century in Christian England ? Have the ages brought us nothing better than this? Do Tennyson maundering, and Byron scoffing, and Maurice arguing, and Colenso ex pounding, all meet at a point? Is the consummation of all our labours a possibility of one day " sitting down with" Lucifer "in the kingdom of God ?" Truly the Laureate has "groped," and gathered "dust and chaff," to good purpose at last. " His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and the rest of the Royal Family" was the next toast, and it met with an almost equally flattering re ception. The LORD MAYOR, in rising to propose the next toast, referred to the unusually complete represen tation of foreign powers which honoured the occa sion. He rejoiced to see thesedistinguished gentlemen around him, and he hailed them as the ambassadors of peace. (Loud applause.) It was to promote peace and prevent strife that these gentlemen exer cised their fuections ; and the success which had crowned their labours would be seen in the fact that for half a century this country had not been engaged in war near at home. (Laud cheers.) The science of diplomacy had, in fact, made such ad vances, that they might now look forward to the day when they might hope altogether to escape the frightful results which war occasioned. (Hear, hear.) He had to associate with this toast the name of his Excellency the Turkish Ambassador ; and without attempting to enumerate the names of the other Ambassadors present, for a list of whom he would refer the company to the daily papers of the next morning, he would simply congratulate himself and them upon the presence of so many of them, and ask them to drink to " The health of the Diplomatic Corps," coupling with the toast the name of M. Musurus, the Turkish Ambassador. The toast was drunk with great enthusiasm. librarians are then mentioned, and the origin and function of book clubs commented on. A discussion on "Early Northern Saints and their Miracles," succeeds, and the volume concludes with a few words on Ancient Sculptured Stones. The ground covered by the author is thus tolerably extensive. Few topics directly or indirectly connected with books escape his notice. His handling is light and agreeable, and he has produced a very readable volume. The article on " Modern Sacred Art in England," glorifies the Pre-Raphalites and highly eulogises their apostle, Ruskin. In " High Church Litera ture for the People," we find a very rust condemna tion of the bad habit to which religious novelists are addicted of twisting historical facts and distorting characters to serve some special end. But among the most generally interesting articles are those on " Stephen Grellet. the Quaker Evangelist," and on " The Patriarch Nikon." The character of Grellet is thus described— The Channtngs. By Mrs. Henry Wood. 3 vols. Bentley. This is, upon the whole, an excellent novel, reli gious in tone, and a reprint (with slight variations) from the pages of the " Quiver." " The Theme," 'a very old one, is of the trials and triumphs of virtue, and the key to the work is contained in the verse with which the last chapter concludes—" I have been young, and now am old; and yet saw I never the righteous forsaken, nor his- seed begging their bread." Thus the doctrine inculcated, that of material reward of virtue, is more akin to the teaching of the Old Testament than of the New, and is scarcely borne out by the experience of life. That virtue deserves (and gets) a reward, is true ; but it does not often consist in " fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses," as in Job's case, or in marrying the idol of one's heart, finding a long lost parent, and being declared rightful heir to a large estate, as in that of the hero of a Victoria melo drama. Virtue must be loved for itself. In Tenny son's words— M. MUSLTRUS said—My Lord MayOi, Ladies, and Gentlemen—l have the honour to return thanks to you on behalf of my colleagues and myself, for the kindly manner in which you have received the toast just proposed by his lordship. Nothing is more agreeable to the diplomatic body than to be present at such a splen did meeting as this, and which is the prelude to the grand International Exhibition, of which we shall soon have to witness the opening. In fact, there can be nothing more in accordance with the wishes of the diplomatic body than to view the emulation which has always existed between na tions, and whieh has too often been the source of great evils, now directed on an arena where each must appear only under the head of auspices, and through the works of peace, and where different people will learn mutual esteem, to regard each as brothers, to each perfect themselves by the exchange of ideas, in industry, science, and art, and thus to promote their common well-being. (Chem.) It is to England that belongs the glory of having been the first to assemble the nations at these modern Olympian games where the prize is awarded, not to the strongest, nor to the swiftest, but to those most industrious and most useful to mankind ; and this great metropolis ought to be proud of offering for a second time its hospitality to the representatives of the industry and genius of other countries. Mean) But alas ! a veil of gloom is thrown over these festivities by the ever-to-be regretted absence of the August Prince who, among other humanitarian institutions of which he was the promoter, could conceive and is justly entitled to be considered the founder of a work to which other States have warmly lent their co-operation. Through that, therefore, he has acquired an incontestable right to the gratitude of all nations, who will preserve for his memory the same sentiments of esteem and admiration as the English people. (Hear, hear.) Therefore, the more we desire to honour the memory of this great and illustrious Prince, the more we ought to con form to his generous views, by devoting our cares to the success of his work, and by endeavouring to render its results more and more profitable to the human race. (Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR said—Till the triumphs of the science of diplomacy should have superseded the necessity of studying the art of war, it behoved every country in the world to guard " To live by law, Acting the law we live by without fear; And, because right is right, to follow right, Wore wisdom in the scorn of consequence." The true reading of the matter is contained in the old adage, " Virtue is Its own reward." If other rewards are added to it well and good, but it ought not to be made the pretext for expecting them. Consider Shakspere's handling of the subject. Vir tue, with him (as in life) often meets no better fate than vice, whilst mediocrity steps in and gains the prize. The noble Othello, the divine Desdemona, and the execrable lago are alike cut off, whilst the careless Cassio is made Governor of Cyprus. Ham let dies like the caitiff King, 'whilst to the young Fortinbras falls the crown of Denmark. The end of Cordelia is untimely, as that of Goneril and Albany, in England, reigns supreme. True, Shaks pere's motive is never paraded on the surface. He was a consummate artist, not a preacher. Yet never do we meet with aught in him to shake our faith in good, or cause us to rejoice in evil. Virtue and innocence with him are always fresh, always lovely, and if here they are unhappy, we feel that they are sure of their reward in another and brighter world, where weeping shall be no more, neither shall the voice of lamentation be heard, " where the wicked shall cease from troubling, and the weary shall have rest." A world which the heathen saw faintly, and afar off, in their land of Lotos eaters, and shadowy Elysian fields—one to which the struggle with the powers of evil shall not reach— where no bitter frost shall nip goodness in the bud, but in which beauty, order, purity, and harmony shall reign undisturbed for ever. But if, as we think, the authoress takes a somewhat superficial view of existence. If she rather implies that we must be bribed to be good, that we want sugar after the bitter draught, and insists somewhat strongly in special providences in favour of the de serving. This will in no way damage the popu larity of her work. People nowadays, though they like "sensation," can't bear their feelings harrowed beyond a certain point.

There was no desire whatever for aggression on the part of this country (hear, hear), but while human pas sions were what they were, it was our duty to do honour to our army, our navy, and our volunteer corps, and to promote their efficiency. (Cheers.) He felt that such being our intentions, even in the presence of so many distinguished representatives of foreign Courts, this was a toast which might very properly be given (hear, hear), for our object was simply defence, and not defiance. (Hear, hear.) He should not enlarge upon this toast, but simply ask them to drink to the "Army, the Navy, and the Volunteer Corps," coupling,► with the toast the name of hi , 3 Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, Commander•in-Chief. The toast was honoured with great enthusiasm. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE, in acknowledging the compliment, said he was duly sensible of the great honour conferred by the Lord Mayor upon the army, over which it was at present his privilege to preside. Though the present meeting was purely pacific in its objects and its tendencies, that com pliment would be none the less grateful to our soldiers, our sailors, and our volunteers. (Cheers.) They might, without the slightest offense, and without even indiscretion, show to their foreign friends the sense entertained by this great comnier cial city of the very great services which those forces had rendered, and were capable of rendering. (Cheers.) In this city the arts of peace reigned triumphant, and certainly not the art of war ; and in this respect the city of London faithfully repre sented the whole of this great country in its earnest desire for the maintenance of peace. (Hear, hear.) The fact was, that the city honoured these services because, when efficiently maintained, they were cal• culated to preserve peace (cheers), and the compli ment thus paid to them was one which they could cheerfully accept. He would venture to take that opportunity of calling attention to the compli ment which on that occasion had been paid to his lordship, and, through his lordship to the city of London, by the presence of so man repre sentatives of foreign powers. (Cheers.) It seemea singularly appropriate that the chief magistrate of the city of London should have taken that the earliest opportunity of assembling together so distinguished a body of those foreign gentlemen at his hospitable board, in order to give them that thoroughly English welcome which he was sure every Englishman was desirous of according to them. (Cheers.) But although this meeting bad been of a pacific and joyous character, they could not over look the fact, that the pleasure had been sadly marred by the severe and irreparable loss which their Queen and their country had recently sus tained. (Hear.) He felt all the more grieved for this loss owing to the fact that as it was from the late illustrious Prince that the idea of these international exhibitions emanated, he had not lived to see this second realisation of his anxious desires and earnest hopes. (Hear, hear.) They might fear that the anxiety of mind attendant upon these great under takings had in no small degree contributed to shorten that life which was so valuable to his coun try, and the abrupt termination of which the whole nation so sincerely deplored. (Hear, hear.) The success of the Exhibition of 1851 was largely attri butable to the exertions of the late illustrious Prince. Many at first doubted the expediency and practica bility of the undertaking, but his Royal Highness persevered, and the result was a success beyond what any one expected. Now that this second at tempt was about to be made his Royal Highness was no longer amongst them to share their joys and triumphs. (Hear, hear.) The Lord Mayor had ex pressed the hope that the result of this second gathering would be to promote peace between the nations, and he (the Duke of Cambridge) sincerely trusted that the Lord Mayor's wishes in this respect might be happily realised. (Applause.) He was sure that the cordiality and hospitality with which their foreign_ friends had been received by the Lord Mayor on that occasion must contribute materially to such a result. (Applause.) Captain MAY briefly returned thanks on behalf of the Royal Navy, and Colonel Ward, of the Ist London Rifles, acknowleiged the compliment on behalf of the volunteer corps. The next toast was " The Church and the Health of his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury," which having been duly honoured, was appropriately ac knowledged by his Grace, who expressed his admi ration of these industrial exhibitions, as calculated to promote peace between nations. He hoped that it would be found impossible for those who had been thus associated in promoting national industry to resort to the destructive arts of war. [We may ob serve that his Grace, whose brief observations were exceedingly well received, appeared to justify the gratifying announcements which have recently been put forth respecting his restored health.] The next toast was " The Health of the Royal Commissioners of 1862 ;" in proposing which the LORD MAYOR took occasion to eulogise those noble men and gentlemen for the able manner in which they had discharged their duties, and he coupled with the toast the health of the Right Hon. Earl Granville. S \ PElt . t ;•-•.', ....7-77z - -- - _-7) ,, .;\ 4.:' l `. s i. . 1 : . 4 rs, t .. .r.....: r 1 , :.4 ... 55..., , „ or £aoo without their pers 1i,10, , % -:_.

Most of the guarantors were not merely wealthy men, but were m ore or l ess connected with indw try, with art, or with science —(hear)--and they coupled theirguarantee with conditions of the most liberal description. (Hear, hear.) In fact, he believed that the commissioners were the only really despotic body in this country, seeing that the guarantors gave them the fullest powers over the entire ma nagement of the whole affair. (Hear, and laughter.) At first it was the opinion even of some on whose. opinion he was accustomed to rely, thn t they ought to carry out the idea on a very limited seals hat they felt that if done at all it must be done on a,scalo commensurate with the importance.of the eccion; and the guarantors then elves felt that it Wfta desir able to go in for a complete success. In doing so they had exercised the strictest economy in every possible way; for it was a private enterprise, ar.d must ba of an entirely, self supporting character. There had alto been some criticisms as regarded tha building. Looked at from the north, it would ap pear that if the design of the architect had been carried out in its great central features, it would have bcen'a much more imposing structure. (Hear.) But want of means prevented the execution of that idea. Still, from what he learned from persons of the highest intelligence in these matters, he felt jus tified in saying that if there were any Augustuses present, either individually or collectively, who de sired to change the brick into marble, or even into the commoner material of stone, they would find the building full of grandeur and appropriateness. Thu edifice was marked by great simplicity, but he would not enter into details, as he hoped to meet them there in a day or two, and he would be disappointed if they did not admit that for architectural effect and for decorations it was superior to any similar building, and that the whole effect was of a singu larly impressive character. It was impossible to speak too highly of the exertions of tho foreign- commis sioners. France had exhibited her usual felicity and exquisite taste in applying art to manufactures, and had exhibited great improvement in some practical departments. Gerthany and the Zollverein had entitled themselves to similar praise. Austria and Italy were engaged in a peaceful rivalry. Italy would show better than on any former 'occa sion. Russia, Spain; and Portugal:would also show well; and America was going to exhibit, in spite of her civil war. (Applanze.) He must bear his testi mony to the courteous and conciliatory manner in which the foreign commissioners had discharged their duties; and in conclusion his lordship said that he trusted that the results of the Exhibition would justify the aspirations of the poet, and that they would Uplift a thousand voices full and sweet, In that wide hall with earth's inventions stored, And praise th' invisible universal Lord, Who let once more in peace the nations meet, Where Science, Art, and Labour had outpeufd Their myriad horns of plenty at their feet." (Loud applause.) "The House of Peers and the Lord Chancellor" was the next toast, which was duly honoured. The LORD CHANCELLOR returned thanks, and said that one of the characteristics of the House of Lords, of which he was the unworthy representa tive, was that though it was an hereditary assem bly, it was recruited from the ranks of the people, and his own case was an illustration of the fact that the humblest individual, if found worthy, would be elevated to that distinguished honour. The House of Peers recruited its ranks from the bar, from the army, from the navy, and, in the case of a recent illustrious individual, from literature. (Hear.) The LORD MAYOR next proposed " The House of Commons, with which he flOupled the name of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.' The toast was duly honoured. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER returned thanks, and said that as elected by the suffrages of their fellow-countrymen, it must always be a plea sure to members of the House of Commons to par take, according to ancient usage, of the splendid hospitalities of tho Lord Mayor. In such cases as this Exhibition, the House of Commons felt that there ought not to be any necessity for what Sir R. Peel called the "vulgar expedient of resorting to the Consolidated Fund," but the house saw the im portance of the movement, and lent its aid cheerfully to the supplementary measures for acquiring the estate on which the present building was erec►ed. (Hear.) " The Lord Mayor" was the next toast, proposed by his Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, and duly honoured. The LORD MAYOR returned thanks. He said it was his good fortune to have had great opportuni ties during his mayoralty, which he had endea voured to turn to good account, and such expres sions of thanks as these were to him a great and gratifying reward. (Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR then proposed " The Commis sioners of the Exhibition of 1851," whom he eulo gised in the warmest terms for their care and judg ment, which had materially lessened the difficulties of securing a suitable site for the Exhibition of 1862. With this toast he associated the name of " The Right Hon. B. Disraeli, M.P." Mr. DISRAELI, who was received with applause, returned thanks. The Great Exhibition of 1851 was a great lesson, taught by a wise master, to a. people in whom he had confidence. There was no doubt that in that concurrence of the industry and invention of the world England learnt many things of which she was before ignorant, and unlearned some things which perhaps she had practised too long. (Hear.) The verdict of posterity with regard to the Exhibition of 1851 had been, that it had stimulated the invention and refined the taste of Europe. (Hear.) Another Exhibition had now' become a necessity, and the question was when it should take place. The decennial interval had been thought the best. After a touching allusion to his late Royal Highness the Prince Consort, the right hon. gentleman said this Exhibition would be the best memorial to his memory, being the consumma tion of what he most desired. Of old it was the custom on the tombs of heroes to celebrate rites and sacrifices, sometimes fantastic, sometimes gloomy and terrible, but to their hero they offered oblations of peace and of industry stimulated, of invention refined, of taste elevated. These were our offerings to the memory of that serene and sagacious spirit. The health of " The Lady Mayoress" was next drunk, and the proceedings terminated. a A TRUE CHRISTIAN. Among the most characteristic and remarkable men con nected with this people, at least during the present century, was Etienne de Grellet du Mabillier—Anglicised into Stephen Grellet. A Frenchman and a Catholic, nearly allied by birth and education to the old nobility of France— an officer in the army of the princes —a refugeo in the West Indies, and a disciple of Voltaire—an authorised mi nister of the Society of Friends—a missionary of no com mon type, traversing the unsettled wiles of the new terri tories of the United States, the prairies of the Indian, the forests of Canada, and the mountain valleys of St. Domingo—crossing the Atlantic eight times in the exercise of his ministry, planting societies in Norway and Sweden, preaching the Gospel throughout the Russian empire, from Abo to Odessa, visiting in the service of the Gospel every country inEurope —securing private personal interviews with its monarchs and statesmen, to utter to them his testimony for his Master-- closeted on direct religious service with the heads of the( reek Church at Petersburg and Constantinople, and with the Pope himself at Rome—threatened with death, by the forest on fire, by shipwreck, by poison, by fever, by earthquake—heralded by a royal ordonnanee throughout the kingdom of Spain—without a shilling of fortune, yet paying all the expenses of his numerous and distant jour neys—sustained throughout them all by a firm faith in his Divine call, and by a persuasion which never left him, that the Master's own hand directed eaeh step, and guided him, Abraham-like, to places that he knew not, but where his " dear Master" had work for him to do—tried and exercised in a way that stirred his being to its inmost depths—en couraged by answers to prayer, and by interpositions of Providence, so frequent and so singular, as to be suffi cient of themselves to form a chapter o f marvels; such was the man, of whose laborious and varied life it is only the briefest sketch that can be attempted here. Our full recognition is duo to such a man as a true minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Not the less a true minister, because he never wore a black coat, never received a salary, and never was placed in charge of a congregation. It is not desirable that our views of that great institution of Christ, the ministry of His Gospel, should be formed ex clusively from the circumstances of our own day or Church, or should be limited by the conventionalities of the moment • conventionalities as to dress and the like, which may be harmless enough, and even becoming, as the taste of the day goes and which no one would dream of violently inter fering with, yet which bear no higher relation to the reali ties of the ministry itself than the epaulettes upon a gene. ral's shoulder bear to his commission, or to his dispositions in the field. Garibaldi was not the less a general, because he chose to wear a wide- awake hat and corduroy trowsers, nor, on the other hand, did this unsoldierlike attire add anything either to his skill or to his achievements. Nor does the costume in which friend Gellett studiously pre sents himself—the plain brown coat and hat on, in every company—either add to or detract from his office as a minister of J eius Christ. Unimportant in one sense, these peculiarities of the Friend have their own importance and significance. They are a visible witness to the truth that what is merely external is not to be confounded with what is essential. Were these peculiarities imposed upon the whole Church, they would not only lose all their signifi cance, but would become a grievous yoke of formality ; but, adopted by a few, they recall to our minds a truth of which we are too liable to lose sight. And for ourselves, we con fess to a lingering regret at the disappearance of such a tes timony from amongst us; although it must be acknowledged that in this age of unprecedented display, it would require more than human courage to uphold it. Nikon was a mau of a different stamp. Born in Russia in the beginning of the 17th century, of gi gantic stature, (he was seven feet high), of indomi table energy, and of powerful intellect, he embraced a monastic life, astonished the religious orders of the time by his asceticism, and was consecrated Prior. Meeting at length, pith the Czar Alexis the latter The toast was drunk with great cordiality. Earl GRANVILLE returned thanks. He said that although the loss of his Royal Highness the Prince Consort had somewhat diminished their interest, and damped their pleasure, yet they felt it to be a sacred duty to work with all the more activity, in order to secure the success of that undertaking which the Prince Consort considered necessary to bring to perfection his first great work—the concep • tion of his own mind—in which he was aided by the distinguished persons who surrounded him—and to make a real success of what his late Royal High ness was pleased to call a mere temporary triumph of the time, (Cheers.) They had little more to do than apply those precedents and those rules which had been the subject of so mu3h consideration at the time, and in a few cases only, where altered circum stances had required it, had those rules been at all modified. This, however, had been done in cases where there was a great contrast between the cir cumstances of 1851 and of 1862. On both occasions they had experienced the greatest kindness and encouragement from the municipal authorities of the city of London. (Cheers.) The Lord Mayor had given them a splendid banquet, to convey to the distinguished foreigners in attendance an idea of the cordiality of the feelings which the English' people entertained towards them. In 1851 the idea was no new that there was hardly any sort of panic and alarm which did not exist as to the conse quences of the Exhibition. (Hear.) There was a strong feeling of opposition at the movement, although a reaction of equal strength set in at the moment it was opened. (Hear.) There was no opposition now—there were no breathers of ill nature or of ill-will—they had encountered criti cism, but not more than was necessary to keep them up to the mark—in fact it was a criticism without which no possible enterprise of the slightest importance had a chance of-succeeding. (Hear.) First there was a feeling—in which many large producers joined, and of which ho could not com plain, for he felt it himself—that this second attempt was being made too soon. But what had taken place was the best answer to that objection. The desire of exhibitors was such that while the present building was one-third larger than the building of 1851, they had been obliged to reject six -sevenths of the articles tendered for exhibition, and yet he really believed that the chief fault which would be found with what they had done was that the edifice was too crowded—not crowded with rubbish, as they would be ready to admit when they had seen it—bat with articles which would form a very fa vourable contrast to any previous exhibition. When they commenced their task the commissioners were in a state of complete pauperism. (Laughter.) Although one of their number, Mr. Baring, was not without great credit in the City, yet the Bank of England at first declined to advance them £2OO 2118 NAVY.
