Every landowner may thus obtain a recognition of his title, and have his name placed on the registry, 1 as the absolute owner of the land, and entitled to dispose of it forthwith to any bona fide purchaser for valuable consideration. But there may be incumbrances, or parties hav ing family charges, on the estate. Their interests are effectually guarded by the power granted of entering caveats against any disposal or transfer of the estate without due notice. These caveats may be of two descriptions, but either will be quite sufficient to maintain the rights of the claimant, if he can establish the justice of his demand. The present measure will even, if alone, render the ses sion a memorable one. By increasing the value of landed estates by at least three years' purchase, or ten per cent., it will increase the resources of the landed gentry by fully two hundred millions of pounds sterling—three times more than the fundholders and commercial classes lost by the reckless speech of LOUIS NAPOLEON on New Year's Day, or the various matters that have followed in ,s wake. BAROMETER-29'73. WIND, Southerly; fresh and squally, with cloudy weather, and some slight rain. * 4- ' ~ F."!.-4),;?. i .. , „ .. s . q.- - *" ' ajh 45R(.--N , A ' ~, The Registrar-General's last quarterly report, in regard to the state of the Public Health, is worthy of everyone's perusal. It appeals to the reason and right feeling of the whole community. It argues a question of the most vital importance, not only plainly and logically, but eloquently and most per suasively. Like the wedding guest, spell-bound by the glittering eye of the Ancient Mariner, we must needs listen to the words of wisdom vouchsafed to us by this eminent public functionary. It is use less beating our breast idly when , we hear the "loud bassoon" of Debate resounding from the recently opened doors of Parliament. The Registrar General compels us to pause and listen, warning us into attention by the double threat of — CHOLERA and DIPHTHERIA ! The impressive report of Mr. GEORGE GRAHAM, the able and giftedßegistrar-General of England — the particular report now referred to, dated from Somerset House, on the first of this present month of February—is in its every syllable so directly to the purpose that we would fain have it read far and wide by every thinking man both within and without the walla of the legislative palace at Westminster. At the outset of the more im portant section of the report, Mr. GRAHAM reminds the public of Lord BYRON having once upon a time, in justification of his plain speaking, quoted the sardonic sentence of VOLTAIRE—" La pudeur enfuit des cceurs, s'est refugiee sur lee levres." Coming, thereupon, directly to the point, the Registrar-General refers to France by way of appropriate illustration. He says—how truly, let every traveller answer—that " if the per fumery of France is exquisite, if her cuisine is the despair of English gourmands ; if her acts are admirable ; if her society is charming ; her 'cabinets' are everywhere detestable." He adds that they literally give mal a la gorge to Englishmen. Yet have we small reason in truth to plume ourselves upon any fancied superiority in this respect upon our own side of the Channel. The report has already intimated the painful truth of our own monstrous culpability in not yet initiating the required most rational social reform, when it is observed in general terms that the evil complained of has for years past been in creasing annually in all the cities of . Europe with out distinction, " from St. Petersburg to Paris, from Vienna and Venice to London and Liverpool." What comes home, however, nation ally to every French household, " stinks in the nostrils" of the whole population of our vast metro polis, surging to and fro twice regularly each way in the course of every twenty-four hours—steadily up and down with the ebb and flow of the tide along the channel of that broad river of the Thames, running pestilence and liquid disease among 2,500,000 inhabitants. The distribution of the evil complained of among the houses of the Parisians has been touched upon with a droll particularity by one of the most keen and humorous observers among travelled. Englishmen. We allude to the veteran Sir FRANCIS B. HEAD, who, in his delightful " Faggot of French Sticks," Vol. ii., p. 12, amuses his readers with the comical record of his own experience. He had just ensconced himself in a new apartment greatly to his liking— "My Lodging" is the heading of the chapter— when the calamity forces itself upon the recog nition of his olfactory nerves. He describes him self as standing at the moment " very much in the attitude of a young artist joyously admiring the painting he has just concluded, when, with great velocity, there shot past his nose—to tell the truth it actually hit it—an arrow of air about a foot long, but no thicker than a piece of packthread, that did not smell as it ought to do. 'lt is the breath of envy,' said I to myself, ' mortified at my happiness." Some hours afterwards, he writes, " I retired to my apartment, and, like a young love; was again admiring its charms, when another little arrow, from an unpleasant quiver, flew by me. It's all fancy,' said Ito myself ;' it can't come from my kind landlady, nor from my chest of drawers. I'm two stories above the drains, and two stories below the gutters of this world " and so forth, in his bewildered self commnnings. The infliction recurs from that time forth, AS MTS. ANASTASIA'S PIPER THE SUN. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 12, 1859. A great and comprehensive measure of legal reform was last night introduced to the House of Commons. The Solicitor-General has at length grappled with the difficulty that had puzzled all his predecessors in office, and explained the prin. ciples of the proposed amendments in a brilliant and lucid address, that elicited the earnest applause even of political opponents. It is now more than ten years since we urged the vast importance of simplifying legal titles—of enabling landowners either to raise money on their estates, with out incurring ruinous:expenses, or to dispose of them without a loss of a least two or three years' pur chase-money. Competition was checked, inasmuch as the retired tradesman could not invest his savings without the certainty of a heavy immediate outlay for costs, and a still more serious charge when his executors required to realise his estate for distribution. It would add at least ten per cent. to the selling value of such properties if they could be disposed of at a brief notice and moderate cost. But, as the Solicitor-General clearly pointed out, the inevitable difficulties attendant on a sale dis couraged all such purchases, and, by lessening the demand, diminished the value of the article sup plied. Sir HUGH CAIRNS has acted judiciously in limiting the registration to titles, and not extend ing it to deeds. His objects are twofold-Ist, to show that there is a perfect title which cannot be impeached ; and, 2dly, to maintain the evidence of would say repeatually. Until—muttering to him self the familiar - words "home, sweet home" — the travelled Englishman, ringing the bell, requests the garcon to ascertain whether Madame would be visible to him: Then—" in broken sentences and faltering accents" Sir FRANCIS tells him that—(we quote his own graphic record) 7 —" the room was in every respect all I could desire, ' BuT that • . . it . . . had . . . at times . . • . a very unpleasant smell." Now, Monsieur !' she replied. with great gentleness. I assured her that it was the case. ' Now, Mon sieur ! !' she replied. with greater gentleness, 'Madame,'said, It has twice over given me a headache, from w hi c h,' laying my hand. flat on my foreh ea d, 'I am suffering at this moment." No, Monsieur,'she r e p ea t e d, so gen tly and so faintly, that I could h ardly t— " close of the grotesque aa soon t ole description. nNoNv, th e o ti difference with us in this matter, as compared with our neighbours, is discoverable in the circumstance that the agreeable little bouquets distributed there among the population, are here - combined into one monstrous whole, resulting not • in headaches and meagrims alone, but in diphtheria an(l diarrhoea, cholera and consumption. The sanitary reform so long demanded, the Registrar-General reminds us, would be not merely the removal of one evil, but the substitution for it of a very wonderful advantage. Upon this point he writes—"LlEßlG, the great agricultural chemist of Europe, has recently reminded us of English guano as a. substitute for foreign supplies." Fur thermore, upon this point, he adds—" Science has demonstrated that fermenting human excrement is a poison in and near human dwellings ; and chemistry has shown that the same ele ments in other states become grasses, grain; fruit, and flowers by the natural magic of the earth." Finally, as solemn words of warning, t o which we would earnestly commend the (Men that title, so that it may be transferred with com paratively little trouble or expense. A new court i s, o f wane, indispensable, but it will be self supporting, for those who seek the advantages tendered for their acceptance will properly and fairly be required to pay the expenses thereof, and they will receive an ample equivalent for th e outlay in the enhanced value of their properti es, and the satisfaction of knowing that, under a ny circumstances, their title cannot be questioned or disputed. There is, as we have stated, to be a new court, with a Chief and Puisne Judge ; the former to receive £3,000 and the latter £2,500 per annum—by no means extravagant remu neration when the arduous and responsible nature of their duties is taken into consideration. In- deed, it would be hard to find gentlemen of ade quate ability at a lower rate. Each of the learned judges will be assisted by a secretary and registrar. The total cost will, therefore, not be more than £ B,OOO a-year, and we shall feel greatly surprised if there should not be a handsome surplus for the consolidated fund, after liquidating every demand, to say nothing of the " unclaimed dividends," which grow by degrees to a very considerable amount. The first step will be to obtain a provisional recognition of title. This cannot be achieved without reasonable time being allowed to every possible claimant, and due Publicity being given to the nature of the application. Twelve months is allowed for this purpose, and three months more _ _ _ for what may be termed "making the rule abso- lute," or, in other words, final and conclusive. This time has been taken from the Irish act, which has worked so admirably, it being found that fifteen months was the period generally re- THE SUN, I ;'LONDON, SATURDAY - EVENING, FEBRUARY 12, 185 c).

INCENDIARY SHELLS. TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN. Sin,—ln the army intelligence of this day you give a description of an incendiary shell, invented and called by Captain Norton " The liquid-fire rifle shell," which was successfully tested at Chatham yesterday before several officers of the Royal En. gineers. The inventor states "he can, with the same de scription of shell, but of larger size, set fire to any line-of-battle ship in the navy." You remark that " the results of the experiments yesterday proved that the shell in question is one of the most extraordinaryprojectiles ever intro duced into the art of warfare." Permit me to state that a shell filled with coal tar naphtha, mixed with phosphorus and bisulphu ret of carbon, having a bursting charge sufficient to open the shells, which, when exploded, scatters its contents in all directions, the shower of inflam mable material, falling among cavalry and troops, ignites spontaneously, causing their immediate dis organisation and destruction. Fired into shipping, these shells, bursting on deck or below, causes the same results. Fired into harbours, dockyards, or towns, the result is alike destructive and decisive. (The above is extracted from my Patent, No. 1,774.) In 1853 I offered my invention to the Go vernment, but Lord Panmure, when Minister of War, interdicted the sealing of my patent, on the grounds of its efficacy and great value, which inter dict has since been removed by his lordship—the patent has been sealed, and consequently made public. May I request you will kindly insert this expla nation in your valuable paper for the information of your readers P—l have the honour to be your obedient servant, JOHN MACINTOSH• Feb. 11, 1859. THE PCBLIC .READINGS SOCIETY. Last evening the third of these popular enter tainments took place in the school-room of St. George the Martyr, in Theobald's-road, each of the four gentlemen who participated in it being introduced by the rector to the notice of the nume rous audience there assembled. Among the read ings may be particularised Aytoun's " Charles Edward at Versailles," read by Mr. C. J. Plumptre ; Hood's " Bridge of Sighs," read by Mr. E. W. Cox ; Dickens' " Miss Jemima Evans and the Eagle," read by Mr. W. Charles Kent ; and Southey's " Doctor Dove," read by the Rev. Alexander Watson. The audience, including among them, we were glad to recognise, many hard-working mechanics, evinced, by their cordial applause, and still more upon occa sion by their hearty bursts of laughter, a thorough enjoyment and appreciation of the evening's enter tainment. From first to last nothing could really have gone off in every way more satisfactorily. The increasing attraction of these Readings, in fact, augurs well for the success of the enterprise. It will be seen, on reference to our advertising columns, that the scheme is now in active operation—four readings being marked down for next week, two of them at Wylde's Reading-rooms, in Leicester square, one near Charing Cross, and another again in Bloomsbury. TILE SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH BE TWEEN MALTA AND CAGLIARI. A letter from Malta, of the sth of February, announces the important fact of the repair of the damage to this cable, which, after an obstruction of 45 days, recommenced working at 7.15 p.m. on the preceding day. - With reference to the measures taken up to the 28th of January to attain this end Mr. - Webb, the civil engineer of the Mediterranean .Extension Telegraph Company, reports to the naval Commander-in-Chief, Vice-Admiral Fanshawe, as follows, from on board the steamer Elba : " Sir,—l beg to report that the following opera tions towards the repair of the Caglitira and Malta telegraph cable have been carried on, under my direction, for the Mediterranean Extension Tele graph Company. " On the 16th, 17th, and 18th I made electrical tests from Malta with the view of ascertaining the distance of the fault as nearly as possible. My calculations shOwed the fault to be about 188 nauti cal miles of cable from Malta. Referring to my notes taken during the laying of the eable, this brought the fault to a spot 15 nautical miles S.W. (by compass) off Maritimo. I, therefore, deter mined to dredge for the cable on Adventure Bank, and pick up to the fault. On the 19th I proceeded to sea in the Elba, and on the 20th commenced dredging off Granitola. I selected this spa, al though it would have saved much work if I could have dredged nearer the faulty but the ground near the fault does not appear to have been so accurately surveyed, and I was consequently ignorant as to the smoothness of the ground, " On the evening of the 20th the cable was hooked and hove up in 43 fathoms, Cape Granitola E. by N. 1 N., distant 16 miles. On cutting and testing I found, as I expected, that the fault was towards Cagliari. By very hurried tests the fault appeared 40 miles off, and this I telegraphed to you. .1 then buoyed the Malta end and commenced picking up towards Cagliari. On making more accurate tests I found the fault only about 24 to 26 statute miles off. " After picking up about 20 nautical miles of cable, the cable parted at the bottom on the even ing of the 21st, being under a wreck or rock, and it is exceedingly probable that it is the original fault: " I then dredged for the cable seawards of the spot where the cable parted, and obtained it on the 25th. I found the cable perfect to Cagliari, so that the fault is in the short piece (about 13 miles) be tween the spot where I hooked the cable and where it parted, and is probably actually at the spot where it parted. This is at a spot 15 miles S.W. IW. off Maritimo, in 160 fathoms water, and 175 nautical miles of cable from Malta, or 13 miles nearer to Malta than calculated by me. "Having obtained the Cagliari end I spliced on three miles of stout cable and paid it out very slackly from forward towards Malta. I was wait ing for daylight to get the cable from forward to aft (which is rather a difficult operation) when at 4.30 a.m. on the 26th the cable parted at the bot tom. There was very little lift on, and I conclude that the cable during the fall of the ship got tightly wedged in some crevice, and on the rise of the ship of course parted. " I have not yet succeeded in obtaining the cable again as the weather has not been favourable for dredging, and as I was in want of provisions and stores I came on here, but I fully expect, if the weather holds fine, to succeed in completing the work in a day or two."

BELGRADE, FEB. 11. The Skuptschina has placed M. Wutschitsch in confinement. FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY. A letter from Paris says : From the manner in which M. de Morny's speech yesterday in the Legislative Corps was received by all the Deputies, without exception—the unanimous and enthusiastic applause and cries for peace which hailed the passages I have alrettly quoted—and the feeling of the country so unmistakeably manifested, there can, I believe, be no longer a doubt in the mind of any one of the dislike which the very thought of war inspires. It is natural that the reckless coterie who would for a phantom plunge the nation into a conflict with Europe should be furious against all who have directly or indirectly obstructed them. The paper which serves as the organ of this clique, whose schemes have already done so much injury to the country, continues its mission. It is, of course, furious against M. de Morny and the whole Legislative Body together—against the former, that he should have presumed to -go beyond the Emperor himself in his declarations of peace ; against the latter be cause they applauded him. They complain of the hardihood of the President of the Chamber in hav ing drawn up his address without previous consul tation with the Emperor, just as if his Majesty would not have approved every word of a speech in support of a policy on which M. de Morny and the warmest friends of the Sovereign believe that. the Imperial regime depends. Whether his Ma jesty was consulted I cannot say, but the vehement applause—so vehement as even to astonish M. de Morny, who is not, I believe, accustomed to such demonstrations which greeted the words of peace, showed how different his recep tion would have been if they had been otherwise, and prove beyond all doubt that what the country wants and demands is peace, and not war. As to whether peace or war shall prevail there is still a diversity of opinion, and, though I do not subscribe to all he says, yet I cannot but repeat the opinion of a person who is entitled to respect, and who possesses much experience in-political life. He is not inclined to thitik that the present difficulties are such as arc likely to be resolved by diplomacy. He thinks war inevitable, but that the date depends on circumstances (this I must admit to be a safe margin) ; but he believes that before the year is out hostilities will commence. As for the negotiations which Austria would consent to open, he thinks that she may do so to gain time, either for military preparltions, or to secure the alliances of which she stands in need. In any case, the said negotiations can only have refe rence to the evacuation of the Roman States by the Austrian and French troops. This evacuation, he says, is precisely what would suit the Emperor of the French, whose plans would be promoted by an insurrection in Italy. Now, so long as his troops are at Rome the Emperor would be obliged to put down a seditious movement on one point which he would see with secret pleasure break out in Lom bardy. Austria has motives of quite a contrary kind to remain in the Roman States. To quit them would be to fall blindly into a snare. She will perhaps appear to lend herself to negotiations on this point, but, as I have already said, only to gain time. BOURSE, Feb. 11.—The pamphlet published by M.

Count Zichy, Master of the Ceremonies to the Archduke, has also been removed, and replaced by Count Mensdorff-Pouilly, a person of more moderate views. The Madrid journals of the 7th say say that Mr. Duncombe Jones Parry, the Englishman condemned to death for having assaulted a Spanish senti nel in the vici n ity o f Gibraltar, belongs to a good family, of Wales, and is only 21 years of age. In addition to assaulting the sentinel, it is said that he knocked down a gendarme who went to the soldier's defence. At the moment of the assault he was in the company of several English officers, and of a young lady named Pemberton. The cause of the assault was that the sentinel, in obedience to orders, tried to prevent him from riding on a cer- tain site. The Correspondancia Autografa inti mates that the Queen " will probably spare his life." The Chamber of Deputies had nominated a com mittee on the bill on the press, which was entirely favourable to the measure, though in the committee were several ex-journalists. Some of the journals state that the projected Hispano-American Exhibi tion at Madrid in 1861 has been definitively re solved on. A royal decree in the Gazette sanctions the establishment in Cuba of a Credit Mobilier and Public Works Company. A letter from Vienna of the Bth, in the Borsen- I halle of Hamburg, says :—" It is positive that a species of war council has been formed under the presidency of the Emperor, to which are attached Prince Windischgratz, Baron de Hess, Count Wimpfen, Count • Schliek, and the Chevalier de Hauslab, director-general of artillery. The 2d corps &armee, 30,000 strong, which has its head quarters here, has received orders to hold itself in readiness to march." Another letter from the same capital says :—" A great number of troops have left recently for Italy and Gallicia. It would appear that an army of reserve will be formed in Istria. The garrison of Innspruck has been weak ened by departures for Italy." The Messaggere of Modena, an official journal, in adverting to a letter which appeared some time ago in the Universal Augsburg . Gazette, and in which the Duchy of Modena is described as being a prey to the most violent political agitation, challenges the writer of that letter to state the facts on which he founds those views of his, and asserts that, on the contrary, Modena is the most tranquil country in Italy. As to the late increase of garri sons on theModenese frontier, this, the Messaggere says, must be 'attributed to the necessity of guard ing against the cowardly attempts sometimes made by a few demagogues to penetrate into the country from without in order to create disturbance. Were Austrian troops, the Messaggere adds, to be called in by the Government, that circumstance could not lead to any complications, seeing that such emer gencies have been provided for by public treaties of long standing. AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY. The Liverpool and New York screw steamer City of Washington, Captain P. C. Petrie, arrived in the Mersey this morning from New York, with advices from thence to the 29th ult., being two days later than previously to hand, the United States mails, 200 passengers, and 177,000 in specie. The Cunard mail steamship Arabia, Capt, Stone, arrived at Halifax on the 28th ult. The United States steamer Illinois arrived atNew York, from Aspinwall, with dates to the 19th ult., and 1,210,713 dols. In the Senate, on the 26th ult., two bills were re ported from the Post-office Committee, providing for the transportation of the mail from the Atlantic to the Pacific Coast. On the 27th Congress rejected the Pacific Railroad Bill, and on the same day, on the question of curtailing the number of foreign missions, a motion was made to strike out the mission of Persia, which was carried. On the fol lowing day Congress agreed to call upon the Pre sident for the production of the instructions of the United States and British Governments to their respective squadrons on the coast of Africa. Despatches have been received from Sonora, Mexico, in which that city is represented as being deplorable in the extreme from the prevailing do mestic dissensions, and the people are described as being most anxious that the country should be occu pied by the United States. Peschiera had failed to raise troops tho agh he was absent in Sinoloa, fire paring to make his attack on Mazatlan. The people were much incensed against Pescheira, and at Her- 1 mosilla they had liberated two citizens who had been imprisoned by his orders, carrying them in triumph, with shouts of " Viva los Americanos," &c. Despatches received at Washington from Min nesota state that the Sioux and Yancton Indians are again threatening hostilities. Ad vices from Fraser River to the 27th Decem ber had been received, in which the weather was described as having moderated, and the mining prospects favourable. Advices from Hayti state that General Geffard held the department of Artebonite, with his head.. quarters at Gonaives, where he had 2,000 men, while Soulouquc was at the seaport of Arcahaye, with 6,000, intending to attack Geffard, whose family had been imprisoned. The Utah mail of December 28 had arrived at St. Joseph's. A new and practicable pass through the Sierra Nevada had been discovered, which materially shortens the distance to the Pacific. The Illinois had arrived at New York with the San Francisco mails, and 1,201,713 dols. in trea- sure. Letters from Nicaragua state that Sir Gore Ouseley remained at Leon, and that expectation was generally fixed upon the arrival of a plenipo tentiary from France, whose presence, it was thought, would stay the progress of American aggression in that quarter. The blockade of Guayaquil by Peruvian men-of-war was still main tained at the - last advices from that port. By the arrival of the steam-ship Tenessee at New Orleans from Vera Cruz, we have news from the city of Mexico to the 19th ult. The intelligence is important, if anything from that continually• distracted country may be considered as entitled to that character. The Spanish fleet have left Vera Cruz for Havana, but the French and English fleets were still there, and the press of Mexico asserted that the French and English Ministers had threat ened that the fleets should take possession of Vera Cruz and Tampico unless a million of dollars were paid within a specified period, to satisfy claims of citizens of those countries. Miramon was marching on the capital. The Liberals had taken Mazatlan, and it was expected that Zacatecas would soon fall into their hands. COMMERCIAL. NEW YORK, JAN. 28, 6 P.M. The shipments of specie from San Francisco for the years 1857 and 1858 were as follows :- 1857. Dols. 1858. Dols. Seamers 45,366,096 .... 45,169,269 43 Sail vessels 4,146,186 2,555,721 36 Total 49,256,182 .... 47,724,990 76 In 18.57 the deficiency or falling off in the total gold ship ment of the year was 1,725,051 dole. less than 1856, and in 1858 it is 1,531,191 dole. less than in 1857. There is no change in money to report. Five per cent. is becoming tho general rate for loans on call, and no paper is done lower than that figure. NEW ORLEANS, JA.x. 28. Cotton—Sales to-day 5,500 bales at Hie. for middling, the market closing with stiffer prices for the better grades. The receipt of the Arabia's advices had no effect upon the market, except to check operations. The foreign trade of the port during the past week has been very large indeed in the import entries, but quite mo derate fa respect of exports. THE AUSTRALIAN MAILS. The Royal Mail Company's steamer Thames, Capt. Lewis, with the heavy portion of the . mails from Australia and New Zealand, in charge of Mr. Roberts, of thQ General Post•office, arrived at Southampton yesterday morning. She left Alex andria on the 27th ult., and Malta the 31st, On the outward voyage the Thames experienced light breezes and fine weather ; homeward, strong con trary winds and heavy seas. The Thames brought 15 passengers, among whom were Capt. Western, R.N., Mr. Jacomb, Mrs. M‘Mullen, and six children ; also a general cargo, and 18 packages of specie value £76,211 19s. 4d., of which £360 was from Sydney, £75,101 19s. 4d., and £750 from Malta. The United States steamship Macedonian, and the usual Egyptian fleet, were at Alexandria. At Malta were her Majesty's ships Marlborough, Centurion, Conqueror, and Euryalus. His Royal Highness Prince Alfred was still a great object of attraction. He walked about the streets in uniform, attended by his tutor, and ap parently took a great interest in the pursuits and business of the inhabitants. The English screw steamer lonia was spoken by the Thames off Cadiz, bound from Alexandria for Liverpool. On the night of the 3d inst. the Thames exchanged signals with a largo steamer, steering eastward, supposed to be the Peninsular and Orien ' tail s'e liner with the outward Bombay mails of the 27th ult. The mails brought by the Thames, which con sisted of 407 boxes and bags, were all sorted on board, ready for transmission to their respective destinations immediately on their arrival at South ampton. SIR JOHN LAWRENCE.—The Punjabee mentions that Sir John Lawrence is going home on medical certifi cate, but that he will not join the Indian Council. Ho has applied to be vested with the powers of a lieutenant gover nor, and recommended that Scinde should be joined to the Punjab. The Wanderer. By Owen Meredith. Chapman and Hall. It would be an affectation to assume ignorance as to the real authorship of this charming volume of poetry, entitled " The Wanderer," by Owen Mere dith. In deference, however, to the after thought which has preserved the pseudonyme upon the title-page, whenever we may have occasion to refer to the writer of the volume under notice, in the critical remarks here subjoined, we shall speak of him exclusively by that norn de plume, as though his publishers had not repeatedly within the last few weeks divulged his real name time after time in their advertised announcements. To say that the present work is an improvement upon ifs pre decessor would be small praise indeed. " Clytem nestra," we take it, was but as the first fluttering of the callow wing. Here, in the varied rhythm of " The Wanderer," are audible the beatings of the strong pinion of the full-fledged eaglet, fresh from the eyrie —bold, bright-eyed, soaring sunward —circling in sustained and protracted flight over all this beautiful world of ours, over sea and land, garden and desert, sylvan solitudes and crowded capitals. Before advancing beyond the threshold of the "Dedication"—we must pause, however, upon that portal 'to the fairyland of song, traversed be yond it by the musical footsteps of " The Wanderer." Although it is inscribed simply to "J. F.," the ini tials are, to ourselves at least, in no way enigmatical. It is assuredly no other than the congenial bio grapher of one whose name is beloved in almost every household where the Anglo-Saxon tongue is spoken, as one of the familiar glories of our Eng lish literature—it is no other than the honoured memorialist of dear Oliver Goldsmith, that the young poet of " The Wonderer" thus fervently apostrophises, where he exclaims— But thou art strong where, even of old, The old heroic strength was rare, In high emotions self-controll'd; And insight keen, but never, cold, To lay all falsehood bare ; Despising all those glittering lies • Which in these days can fool mankind ; But full of noble sympathies For what is genuinely wise, And beautiful, and kind. • Adding, thereupon, in words of graceful and modest deprecation, addressing himself consciously at once to the ripe critic and the generous friend—. And thou wilt pardon all the much Of weakness which doth here abound, Till music, little prized as such, With thee find worth from one true touch Of nature in its sound. Thereafter follow these exquisite stanzas the music of which will thrill, we doubt not, deep into the large and noble heart of the Laureate—but deeper yet into the innermost heart-of-hearts of that Other whose paternal fame is veiled with such a reverential and filial tenderness. The words we here transcribe from the Dedication of " The Wanderer" are as full of true poetry, feeling, and imagery, as any to which we have for a long while " listened delighted." Still, addressing himself. to J— F—, the young poet thus continues the eloquent appeal of his Dedication— Tho' mighty spirits are no more, Yet spirits of beauty still remain. Gone is the Seer that, by the shore Of lakes as limpid as his lore, Lived to one ceaseless strain. And strenuous melody of mind. But one there rests that hath the power To charm the midnight moon, and bind Al? spirits of the sweet south wind,. And steal from every shower That sweeps green England cool and clear, The violet of tender song. GREAT ALFRED long may England's ear His music fill, his name be dear To English bosoms long ! And ONE . . . in sacred silence sheathed That name I keep, my verse would shame. The name my lips in prayer first breath' d Was his : and prayer hath yet bequeath' d Its silence to that name;-- Which yet an age remote shall hear, Borne on the fourfold wind sublime By Fame, where, with some faded year These songs shall sink, like leaflets sere, In avenues of Time. Not less beautiful than these the words that follow —every syllable of which we would fain have italicised— Love on my harp his finger lays ; His hand is held against the chords. My heart upon the music weighs, And beating, hushes foolish praise From desultory words : And Childhood steals, - with wistful grace, 'Twist him and me; an infant hand Chides gently back the thoughts that chace The forward hour, and buns my face To that remember'd land. she " receding" dreamland of childhood. A dedica tion such as this, holds us spell-bound as effectually as the " glittering eye" of the Ancient Mariner held the wedding guest, when— " The bride bath paced into the hail, Red as a rose is she • And nodding their heads before her goes The merry minstrelsy." We " cannot choose but hear "—held captive at the outset by the melody of that graceful introduction. Besides a Prologue and an Epilogue each divided into three parts, and each written in what appears to us a very novel, and certainly a very ela borate stanza, consisting of a rhymed quatrain pre fixed to the stanza latterly rendered familiar to all through the pages of " In Memoriam "—Besides this Prologue and Epilogue, " The Wanderer" com prises, under that comprehensive title, Six Books, as diversified in rhythm, and manner, and theme and sentiment as the very regions the genius of which the five first of. those Six Books indirectly tend to illustrate Italy France—England— Switzerlaand Holland : the sixth Book being suggestively entitled " Palingenesis." Altogther it will be seen, therefore, at a glance that Owen Meredith's new volume has the sustained effect of a complete whole, and the varied charm of a col lection of the most diversified minor poems—such as, jumbled together, might have been designated fugitive or miscellaneous. It is scarcely pos sible, from the variety of these one-hundred-and one separate pieces, extending altogether (with the addition before specified of prologue and epilogue) to no less than 436 pages, it is scarcely possible, we say, amidst such a diversity and multiplicity of productions, ranging " from grave to gay, from lively to severe"—to afford anything at all like an adequate idea of the entire work by means of brief and fragmentary quotation. As varied as the metre are the merits of these 101 poems of " The Wan derer." Extracting one or two would be like pick ing a few stray gems from a jewelled coronal— showing in each the skill of the cutting, and dis playing the respective colours of the stones ex tracted, the green of the . emerald, the violet of the amethyst, the golden sheen of the topaz, but afford ing not the faintest notion of the peculiar excel lence of the setting or the effect of the contrasting dyes of all when there combined together harmo niously. That effect, of course, can alone be realised by a reference to the work itself, and solely with a view to enforce our own recommendation of that reference we shall here append to our remarks two or three excerpts taken almost at random from the pages of " The Wanderer." In the very midst of Owen Meredith's own original effusions are five most truthful translations from Peter Ronsard, pieces replete with a delicate grace and espieglerie. Happiest of these five versions, to our mind, "Ma Douce Jouvence" and " Voici le Bois Que Ma Saincte Angellette." Occasionally—but this is chiefly noticeable in "Book 11. France—the young poet sings of the belle passion in a strain not merely most impasssioned, but at times even (how shall we express it ?).almost—improper. "Au Café '" breathes somewhat of the atmosphere breathed by the heroine of the A. Dumas Fils—" The Lady of the Camelias," celebrated by that clever son, who has been wittily pronounced the best of all the works of the French Alexander the Great ! This intensely French poem, "Au Café * * *" may not have been written with the slightest re membrance at the time of its composition of Goethe's " Bride of Corinth"—but certainly if so, the vivid ness of the rssemblance is a coincidence. We do not imply for an instant anything like plagiarism in the idea, for the poems are altogether as dissimi lar as possible ; but surely the same chord is struck here as there ! Here—where our young poet sings of the exhumed Irene side by side with her living lover— " Thy kiss, on my lips it is burning for ever 1 I cannot sleep calm, for my bed is so cold, Embrace me I - close . . . closer . . 0 let us part never, And let all be again as it once was of old 1" So she murmurs repiningly ever. Her breath Lifts his hair like a nightwind in winter. And he , " Thy hand, 0 Irene, is icy as death, But thy face is unchanged in its beauty to me." "'Tis so cold, my beloved one, down there, and so drear." " Ah, thy sweet voice, Irene, sounds hollow and strange I" "'Tis the chills of the grave that have cha.ng - ed it, I fear: But the voice of my heart there's no chill that can change." it H a I thy pale cheek is flusht with a heat like my own. Is it breath, is it flame, on thy lips that is burning ? Ha I thy heart flutters wild, as of old, 'neath thy zone. And those cold eyes of thi ne fill w i th passionate yearning." There—as the old German bard in the echo of his recent translators, sings in that wonderful, hideous, lovely, detestable masterpiece-- "Dull boomed the midnight hour unhallowel, And then first her eyes began to shine ; Eagerly, with pallid lips she swallowed Hasty draughts of purple tinctured wine; But the wheaten bread As in shuddering dread Put she always by with loathing sign. And she gave the youth the cup : he drained it, With impetuous haste he drained it dry ; Love was in his fevered heart and pained it. Till it asked for joys she must deny." and so on to the close of that rapturous celebration of Pagan sensuality. Owen Meredith's Dream n; the Café,' however, is no more than an impassion& allegory—as the closing stanza thus intimates Wreathe the rose, 0 Young Man; pour the wine, Avil a thou hast That enjoy all the days of thy youth. Spare thou roug h :: Yet beware I ....at the board sits a ghost—'tis the P ast' In thy heart lurks a weird Necromanecr—'tis Though t ' ; " The Wanderer" we cannot but think is most , home" in his vivid limning of luxurious " interiors. What the cottage house-room is to the brushl f Webster—the Parisian " entresol," the mar 72 " boudoir," the reception-hall of the Italian pato°, J o are to the pen of Owen Meredith. Every " every nick-nack is specified with a wondrous pith cularity—sometimes with a luminous touch enoug' —when he speaks of Catching a gleam on the picture up there Of the saint in the wilderness under the oak; • 'And a light on the brow of the bronze Voltaire, Like the ghost of a cynical joke. Here is a pretty, reproachful appeal To Alignonn e At morning, from the sunlight I shall miss your sunny face Leaning, laughing, on my shoulder With its careless infant grace ; • And your hand there, With its rosy, inside colour, And the sparkle of its rings; And your soul from this old chamber Miss'd in fifty 'little things, When I stand there. Listen now to the quaint tones of the fantas tic little song of Metempsychosis— • She fann'd my life out with her soft little sighs: She hush'd me to death with her face so fair: I was drunk with the light of her wild blue eyes, And strangled dumb in her long gold hair. So now I'm a blessed and wandering ghost, Tho' I cannot quite find out my way up to henven But I hover about o'er the long reedy coast, In the wistful light of a low red even. I have borrow'd the coat of a little grey gnat : There's a small sharp song I have learn'd hots to tlia I know a green place she is sure to be at : I shall light on her neck there, and sting, and stil l ° . Tra-la-la, tra-la-la, life never pleased me I I fly where I list now, and sleep at my ease. Buzz, buzz, buzz I the dead only are freo. Yonder's my way now. Give place if you pleasa• 0 It is the " Second Life" echoed by Aytoun I ' ° Rhineland— " After life's departing sigh To the spots I loved most dearly, In the sunshine and the shadow, By the fountain welling clearly, Through the wood and o'er the meadow Flit I like a butterfly. "There a gentle fair I spy Round the maiden's tresses fly, From her chaplet I discover . All that I had lost in dying, Still with her and with her lover. Who so happy then as I l" a rl ; We cannot loiter longer however over pages that d full for us of fascination.

THE PENINSULAR MAILS. The screw steamer Alhambra (belonging t i ° p.
