(From the Special Correspondent of the Times.) WASHINGTON, MARCH 17. The enemy having retired from Manassas and faller) back behind the Rappahannock, it became obvious that the Federals could not pursue them. They had won a " bloodless victory," but if, after winning it, they could not pursue their beaten enemy, it is plain they would have been still less capable of pursuit had the Confederates met them in the field. The anger and indignation of some of the Northern papers is ludicrous. They are especially vexed because a number of wooden guns were found in the embrasures, which were probably placed there to deceive any reconnoitring party while the enemy were drawing off their forces. They are facetious over the capture of the works by a "Yankee pedlar." But, omitting for . the time any further let us speculate as to the allusions to this matter, course Gen. M'Clellan will now pursue. He must fight, and that as speedily as he can. All hif .s-my is falling back on Alexandria an d W as hi ng t on , f or fovmeraekdintghat an attack on Richm on d. It Manassas does not lead to Those who at a ll remember what has th the aius a p hm u e r eu p nn o dd s e i o e dinatfh July ese or runinn may recollect that in early in August, I ven turedbt h e e e n written t lattoe rn express an opinion that Fortress Monroe was against Richmond. Ifi,a t he u rro i t k r f e al b i s a!e ,t h o p of confederates ates cannot hold th e i r capital; and if Richmond is taken, Norfolk is ren dered untenable. The possession of S u ff o lk wou ld endanger Norfolk and the whole line of p os iti ons , oh but r a t s the received reinforcements, key. Burnside may of ffe hiswf eheilmei which it t e h n way i i i a s e i n n ts a . e m He sort there, e and is probably waiting to concert movements for his advance with the corps about to take the field in a new direction. The strategy now proposed, recognising the importance of a vital blow at Rich mond, will in all likelihood be this :—A feint will be made on Norfolk with that object; General Heintzleman, who is now embarking his corps at Alexandria, will land with a strong force under the guns of Fortress Monroe, and make every appear ance of preparing to dash upon Norfolk on the flank, cutting the line of railroad. This feint it is expected will draw from Richmond a large number of the Confederate troops. Heintzleman's feint will be aided by the assembling of a larger force afloat, with gunboats, steamers, tugs , &c., near Fortress Monroe. When all is ready, and the enemy have been drawn to Norfolk in sufficient numbers, Heint zleman, suddenly turning his face from Norfolk, towards the North, will march straight up the peninsula which is formed by she James River and the York River upon Richmond, While M'Clellan, with a corps of some 35,000 or 40,000 men, advances on a parallel line from the side of the York River. Some such plan will be followed, I have reason to believe, from what I have heard. To me it seems open to most serious objections of various kinds; but it has the great plea of necessity. What if the Merrimac comes out of Norfolk and smashes the whole flotilla in detail or in gross ? It is said that steps have been taken to provide against that fearful sortie. What they are no one knows except those who have taken them. But I sincerely hope they may be more effectual than the plan of firing shells filled with cayenne pepper at her, which has been proposed to the President, in the hope of choking and sneezing off the men at the guns ! What if the Confederates destroy Burnside's farce, and then, having the rail from Norfolk to Richmond, through Suffolk and Petersburg, secure, throw themselves upon the detached expedition which has to march some 74 or 78 miles from Newport News to Rich mond, either going by Great Bethel, Williamsburg, and Cross Roads, away from their fleet and gun boats, or keeping the shore, and in that case en countering immense difficulties from creeks to be crossed, from marshes, and from such rivers as the Warwick and Chickahomaney ! However, no one can foresee what may take place. As the man who first told me that he had seen the President's own draught of a despatch refusing to give up Mason and Slidell, and approved it thoroughly, was a day afterwards in raptures with Mr. Seward's surrender of them, represents vast masses of people in the States, so has he among soldiers his type in the general who always disapproves what is done, and praises that which cannot or will not be done. Be fore this despatch leaves Boston the wires may be charged with the news that General M'Clellan has ceased to command even the army of the Potomac. The outcry of the Abolitionists is furious ; sup ported by the public disappointment, and by their increasing strength, they will make a victim of a Breckenridge pro-Slavery Democrat, as they say the General is, if they can. Every word he says or writes is canvassed and criticised. Even his proclamation, which need not be overloaded with eulogy, offends them, because he appears in it to de plore the war. " Sad ; not a bit of it—great and glorious war !" The most absurd intentions are attributed to him. It is whispered that he designs to make himself Dictator. With this end in view he has surrounded himself with foreign princes and nobles that he may be the nucleus of a Court. He cannot send a small cavalry escort across the river with his wife's carriage without provoking cen sure and jealousy. Much of this feeling has been caused by the odious adulation and nauseous flat tery of those who sought to gain his favour call ing him ridiculous names, and comparing him to "young Napoleon" and " old Fritz," to " Julius Caesar," " Alexander," and even " Hercules." Ge neral M'Clellan appears to me to be really a mo dest man, one to whom such slaver must be loath some in 'the last degree. Whatever his political principles may be, he is not likely to aim at any place higher than that he has lost—the command of the United States army, for his ambition is that of a soldier. It is positively asserted in a Washington paper that he will be deposed, and that General Sumner will succeed him. General Banks has been summoned here from Western Virginia. All is commotion in the political and military world. It is known too well that Mr. Secretary Stanton has formed an unfavourable opinion of General M'Clel lan, and does not hesitate to pronounce him a failure. A witty Minister here said some time ago "The Americans have two generals—one is physically dead ; the other is not yet born." When reminded of his saying lately he exclaimed " The last has been born since, but he turns out to be an abortion." All this is in the last degree unfair. I have received no courtesy—scarcely indeed ordinary civility from General M'Clellan, owing in all probability to his dread of such censure as was directed against him because he was reported to have taken me with him in a ride through the lines of the army last August; but in justice I must say that he has done that which few others I have met with in the United States could have effected. His defect may be that he regards matters with a microscopic eye through a military fieldglass. He does not consider what the political effect of this or of that movement or delay may be, nor does he act on comparisons of forces. But his difficut `:resi have been great. To sum them up in `.,wo words, he has no military organisation ; up to a short time ago he had no army. That which he now commands is for certain purposes of war not an army, even now. General M'Clellan felt that as well as any one, but he erred perhaps in considering that the enemy were better then himself in that respect. Let us look into this matter a little more I closely. The excellent material of the rank and file of the American army is admitted, Recently there has been a marked improvement in their look on parade and in their brigade field•days. Dressed in line, or moving in field evolutions, one was forced to admire their steadiness, their fine appear ance, and the change in discipline and aid which had apparently been effected in so short a time But still, from what I saw yesterday, I am led to think that for certain purposes of war this enormous force is not an army, properly so called. It has no co hesion, no internal organisation, no Generals—there A S THE FACULTIES OF THE BODY, in harmony with those of THE MIND, approach deve loped maturity, the rising human being - , surrounded by factitious circumstances—some salutary, some pernicious— becomes susceptible of impressions which, according to the degree of PRUDENCE and KNOWLEDGE with which he is en dowed, may be the sources of happiness or of unspeakable misery. Some of the most deadly and terrible of the influences last referred to originate at that period when parents fondly hepe that the ob he jeets of thei r l ove are b eing prepared to fight honourably t great battle of life—namely, the scholastic and collegiate period. Habits are then contracted, in unsuspecting - ignoranee of their effects. which, if not ar rested, tend to sink the Vie Tims OF Ennou to the deepest depths of degradation and woe. The evil is aggravated by the apathy too generally evinced by the mecThal profession, not only as to the nature but the very existence of the diseases arising from the cause indicated, and to which the general and inadequate designati on of "Nervous Disorders and Debility" has been given. One of the consequences of this neglect is, that the treatment of the most delicate whicll 3 . 7, afflict REGULARLY or f i doy . has been taken classes of disease up by unqualified and uneducated persons. Dr. LA'MEWi', 11i.D., Licentiate of the If oya, Society of Apothecaries, Are.- London, IS THE ONLY PRACTITICNER QUALIFIED AND REGISTERED who has devoted his exclusive attention for 20 years to time cure of these affections, which war with the very fountains of human HAPPINESS, HEALTH, and FUNCTIONAL VIGOUR.

If I am asked how do the Western troops gain their successes, I am bound to say that I do not know whether they are better than the regiments here, or whether the enemy are worse, and commanded by inferior officers. Last Monday morning the different divisions of the army of the Potomac marched towards the enemy's positinn i having received information that the enemy had abandoned it the day before. At Centreville they found only abandmed huts, ruined cantonments, same 30 pieces of wonders artillery, and a strong entrenched tamp, defended by earth works and redoubts. At Manassas they came upon an undefended position, weak by nature and not defended by art. The seven miles of road between Centreville and Manassas was a Slough of Despond, and it was evident the enemy had no proper trans port for the support of their army at Centreville as soon as they got beyond the reach of their railway at Manassas. They were as little capable of me- , corduroy road, " alive with dead horses," as one of i n n a g cin u g po W n a ß sh ic in h g m t o o n n d as fo th r e th F e ed l e a r s a t la tw w o er m e oonftandsv.anAc our Crimean staff officers remarked of a similar piece on n ican plateau the u tiO they had (1 0 : I: e n t s w t : ' t Manassas were traces of ample stores at Centre ville there was nothing. Much indignation the tvr the o poonsiltyiocn commu nication A ut m was expressed at the escape of the enemy. " Here is an army of 15 divisions, each at least 8,500 strong, with 46 batteries of field artil lery, and any number of cavalry, which has permitted a miserable corps of 30,000 or 40,000 men to challenge, mock, delude, and escape it.' One of the papers says,—" Our men cried when they saw the wooden guns." As there were no means of feeding the army at Centreville or at Manassas—still less further on—it was considered undesirable to pursue the enemy southwards and keep them moving towards Richmond or beyond it. The tracks were, it is said, torn up, the bridges and culverts were destroyed. But Richmond is not more than 80 miles or so, as the crow flies, from Manassas, or four ordinary marches. European armies have often to carry five days' food. The cavalry sent out under General Stoneman came upon a strong rearguard of the enemy near the Warrenton Junction, 25 miles south of the Manassas Junction, and they were also met at Rappahannock, where the railroad crosses the north fork of the river of that name. While the cavalry were en gaged in making these reconnoissances, in which they encountered great impediments from the nature of the country, and had a slight skirmish with the enemy, the infantry and guns were falling back on their old positions, or moving back to Alexandria. Under ordinary circumstances it would be consi dered discreditable to any officer in Europe to have allowed his enemy to retire under such circum stances ; but when one remembers the want of ex perience of those in the Quartermaster-General's department, who should have made themselves acquainted with the enemy's position and move ments, the fact will appear less inexcusable. In deed, the Quartermaster-General's department is not charged with this duty in the United States' army, and if it be not discharged by the topographi cal engineers or the Generals it is left to itself. How many abortive attempts were made could not be counted en both hands. The utter want of dash on the part of the cavalry, and, indeed, gene rally, has been noticed on both sides. It proceeds from want of confidence in their leaders on the part of the volunteers. The regular cavalry were trea sured up like gold. They were too valuable to be risked in reconnoitring in brushwood, and so it was that no knowledge, as far as we know, was ever gained of the force of the enemy or of their movements till they had all taken flight bag and baggage, and left even their upper batteries on the Potomac under the very eyes of the troops on the other side, and of the gunboats on the river, before they were aware of it. The same want of enter prise on the part of the South forbids the expecta tion of brilliant, sudden, and dashing movements on their part ; otherwise, what could prevent their falling upon Banks as soon as the mass of the Fede rals had moved off from Washington, overwhelming him, and then coming right down on the capital from the Maryland side, and checkmating the move against Richmond? Nothing to be sure, but defi ciency of means and skill, perhaps of men. The secret and open dissatisfaction with M'Clellan, based on his inaction, has found a means of ex pressing itself. It was rumoured that he had only been forced to march by the orders of the President, who had deposed him from the command of the army as soon as he got him in the field, and who did not acquaint him with his intentions except through the medium of a newspaper. The Secre tary of War was reported to be displeased also. Out issues into the field the sub-committee of that terrible investigating Congressional borer which digs into the " conduct of the war." They satisfy themselves the enemy had few or no heavy guns, and less than 50,000 men at any time of their stay at Manassas. The wooden cannon distress them. They have, it is said, drawn up a report most damnatory of the military conduct of Gen. M'Clellan, and the Republican organ in this city positively announces that he will be deprived of all command. After issuing his address to the troops General M'Clellan came back to Washington. Next day, as his columns were returning to their camps, there descended such a storm of rain as only falls here and in parts of India. All Saturday and all through the night it beat on the drenched regiments and turned ; , the earth beneath their feet into viscuous paste. In company with Colonel Wetherall (chief of the Staff in Canada), who has been attracted here by the desire of seeing the vast army which his neighbours have put in the field, I rode over yesterday to have a look at the men. It was a se vere test to put them to, and I must say that, if magnificent in material," as Gen. M'Clellan says, they are not so " admirable in discipline ;" that, if "excellently armed," they are not so well equipped. On approaching Alexandria, through very hard bits of causeway here and there cut into pools filled with mud, soldiers, armed and unarmed, were sauntering along the roads or making their way with painful efforts to join their regiments. The streets were full of them also. Mud, of course, was to be ex pected, and where it once caught, there it lay. A field battery, which had just returned, was posted round a church, the horses yet uncleaned, the guns covered with mud. The wharves and quays of Alexandria were full of life; hundreds of waggons passing to and fro with warlike stores to the river side, where a fleet of steamers is lying to receive them, and the army corps, which is embarking there. The men did not seem in good spirits; indeed, some had indulged in very bad ones, though it is just to admit that there were not more than a dozen cases of " drunk and incapable "to be seen by the roadside. Turn ing towards the Seminary, which stands very much in relation to Alexandria as the Observatory to Greenwich, though the intervening plane space is far wider in the former, every hill, every hollow, all the slopes and wood sides were covered with camps and bivouacs, artillery and infantry and commissariat carts all mingled togcri - mr, while enormous trains of white tilted waggons crept up and down the mud tracks, and disappeared over the hill tops among the trees, or were lost in the streets of the city. Along all the roads, all over the coun try, were soldiers in blue gray overcoats, bedraggled trousers, toddling or stumbling or splashing along in single files or in groups ; no officers' staff or re gimental brigade, divisional or officious, to give any one orders, or to get anything into shape. T u rning into a field where were four batter ies of artillery, we had symptoms of want of unifor m - system, though not of efficiency, The horses were light, in- QC l( -C.__-i PRICE..... -...4d. STAMPED ....sd. deed, according to English notions, but the Parrott guns are not so heavy as our own. The men had no pickets for the horses ; they were secured by the throat lash to one long rope, passing through the spokes of the wheels of the gun carriages, and fastened at each end to the outer er heel of the gun on the right and left of the line. Another battery, however, used large upright forked sticks as pickets, the rope passing in the forks and being secured at each end in the ground. The American horses are so quiet that heel ropes are not required, or, at all events, used. Th e men were cooking or trenching through the mud; their great coats hung up to dry on the caissons and carriages, which were also covered with harness. One battery was provided with black oilskins, which they stretched, tent form, over sticks; others metle an abri of about 6 feet long, 2 ; feet wide, and a foot and a-half high, looking like large beetles at a distance. Inside, men were supposed to be re posing. Others had tents on the French system, con sisting of three parts, each carried by a man, and when put together sheltering them tolerably , if not de stroyed by holes for stove pipes, &c. The pieces here were all 3-inch and 31. inch Parrotts, except in a bat tery of brass Napoleon 12-pounders. Proceeding on wards through a cavalcade of soldiers of different regiments mingled together, of whom the greater part were going towards Alexandria, on the top of the hill we came to a brigade of M'Call's division, which was taking ground to the right -of the road. They had marched about 14 miles, and it was evident that many of them were dead beat. Many fell out and sat by the roadside. Others limped slowly after, or were piled up in the covered waggons. There is no nniformii; of knapszcle in the United States' army, and of the great variety of pattern I have seen none which appears at all desirable. Big, shapeless, flat bags in oilskin, loaded with coats and blankets, do duty for neat, compact, well-arranged sacks, though there are exceptions in some regiments to that remark. The men suffered evidently from bad packing, but still more perhaps from their having been permitted to march in their great coats. Their trousers were worn out at the ends from the mud, their boots run down at the heel or broken, and the flapping looped hats, the most hideous " war bonnet" ever con trived, looked limp and mouldy from the rain. But there were the men inside, mostly stout, fine young fellows, capable of any service, if well led, after a little experience. It was a trial for men CO long in camp. The limits of my letter are curtailed by circumstances, or I had much to say of the troops and of the army as they appeared yester day. But this post must not be missed, and .to save the Boston mail for Wednesday letters should be sent from Washington on Monday at 3 o'clock. One word, however, as to the general result of our impressions. I think Colonel Wetherall would admit the American army consists of fine" makings of soldiers ;" that in defence or in line it is not to be despised by any troops; that it is unmanageable and ill organised; that in matters of detail, such as the service of small ammunition in the field-4e tails of vital importance—it is miserably deficient; but that with service and experience the Americape have all the means of becoming a m ost formidable military Power. TILE PRESTON ELECTION. As this election approaches the agitation of loc,M politicians increases, The walls of the town are completely covered with squibs and placards. Tie religious creed of Mr. Melly—unitarianism—is the object of great attack on the part of the Conserva tives. On the other hand, the Conservative candi date is described as a fit representative of agricul tural districts, or of carrot and turnip growing com munities. Rumours of bribery are very rife, and the impression on all sides appears to be that money will play an important part on the day of election. On Sunday, it is reported, the Conservatives engaged an immense staff of men to distribute at all the Catholic chapels in the town a small circular or handbill, addressed "To the Catholic Electors of Preston," and to the effect that Mr. Melly belonged to the Liberal and revolutionary party ; that the Liberals were the active, determined, and energetic supporters of revolution throughout Europe ; that they were at this moment engaged in a great war against the Catholic Church. When the facts were known to the priests, they protested against the circulars, and condemned in very heavy terms the distribution of them. The Roman Catholic Bishop of Liverpool, who had come specially to preach that day at St. Augustine's Catholic Church, denounced the distribution as a gross, unfair, and mean politi cal trick, and totally at variance with the legitimate rules of electioneering. On Monday night, Mr. Melly addressed a large meeting of the electors in the Theatre Royal. Mr. Aspinall, the Recorder of Liverpool, was present, and likewise addressed the assemblage.—Manchester Guardian. Trubner and Co., 60, Paternoster-row.

COLONIAL EXPENDITURE. The Estimates for the colonial, consular, and I other foreign services have been issued, and show an increase to be voted this year of nearly a quarter of a million—from £689,283 to £937,400. Two new possessions make their appearance. There is a charge of £55,000 to defray expenses consequent upon the resumption of Vancouver's Island from the Hudson's Bay Company by the Crown ; but no details whatever are given, and there is no account of the probable annual charge. The other new name is Lagos, our newest possession, ceded in August by its King to the British Crown ; there is a charge of £5OO for a governor, £2,500 for contingencies, and £l,OOO for pension to the ex-King Docemo. Of old votes increased in amount the most notable is that for loss sustained in supplying the Treasury chest in China—viz., the discount on bills drawn at Hong Kong upon the Treasury, and loss on dollars remitted from this country to China; this charge, for China alone, rises from the large sum of £118,138 last year to no less than £221,611. The vote for British Caifraria, which was £27,000 in 1860, and £15,000 in 1861, falls now to £lO,OOO ; the Governor reports that the territory cannot yet support the whole cost of its administration. But there is another and more remarkable vote of £79,193 for that part of the world. Of it the sum of £57,420 is demanded for paying extraordinary expenses incurred to, meet a threatened Caffre war in 1857 and subsequent years; for three successive years a large excess of expenditure beyond the sums voted by Parliament was incurred on the responsibility of the late Governor of the Cape, and is now to be made good. The remaining sum, £21,773, is to meet advances made to the Cape from the Treasury chest, chiefly for Caffre police in 1846 and several following years. These advances were made by the Colonial authorities with.outt.ones sanction of the Home Gov einme nt ; for repayment were at first mad e, but it is now al)plica 11 years since the Treasury announc ed that they would not insist on immediate lepay went, a nd, as nothing practically a grant m a d e further seems ever to have beend e o t ne i , , t u h o e lo ti g •c e e r of to treating this as a loan a nd au ass be kept up, and it be comes vwithoutotesin thisth e ciotof authorityi of Parliament.

The Bed Track. _ By Gustav© Aimard. Ward and Lock, Fleet-street. However opinions may differ as to the truth of M. Aimard's tales, there can be no doubt that with those who delight in narrative of adventure in the far West, they are highly popular. Multitudes who never killed a sparrow revel in the description of a life and death struggle with a grizzly bear, and those who would fly in the utmost terror from en excited cow can sympathise to any extent ivith the hero's unlimited slaughter of his fellow-crea tures. The present work is the last of the series comprising "The Tiger Slayer," "The Gold Seekers," and" The Indian Chief," all which should, of course, have been previously read. It narrates the vengeance Valentine took on General Guerrero for the murder of his friend, the Count de Prebois Crance, and give the results of the Tigrcto's search for his beloved Dona Anita. Tie following extract Will sufficiently indictie the style A MEXICAN NOBLEMAN. tt Now listen, senores," he said, "and judge this man impartially; but do not judge him according to prairie law, but in your hearts. General Don Sebastian Guerrero, who is standing so bold and upright before you at this moment, is one of the greatest noblemen of Mexico, a Christianviejo' of the purest bl oo d, d escen d e d i n a direct line from the Spanish Conquistadors. His fortune is im mense, incalculable, and he himself could nor determine its amount. This man, by the mero strength of his will, and the implacable egotism that forms the basis of his character, has always succeeded in everything he has undertaken, Coldly and resolutely ambitious, he has covered with corpses the bloody road he was compelled to follow in order to attain his proposed object, and he has done so without hesitation or remorse; ha had looked on with a, mailing face when his de a re s t fri en d s an d hi s neares t relations fell by his side; for him nothing which men respect exists— faith and honour are with him but empty sounds. He had a daughter, who was the perfection of women, and he coldly lacerated that daughter's heart; he fatally drove her to suicide, and the blood of the poor girl spirted on his forehead, while he was triumphantly witnessing the legal murder of the man she loved, and whose death he resolved on, because he refused to palter with his honour, and aid this man in the infamous • treachery he was meditating. This human-faced tiger, this monster with the mocking, sceptical face, you see, senores,, has only one thought, one object, one desire—it is, to attain the highest rank, even if, to effect it, he were compelled to clamber over the panting corpses of his relations and friends sacrificed to his' ambition ; and if he cannot carve out an in dependent kingdom in this collapsing republic, which is called Mexico, he wishes to seize, at least, on the supreme magistracy, and be elected president. If this man's life merely comprised this egotistic ambition and these infa mous schemes to satisfy it, I should content myself with de spising instead of hating him, and not being able to find an excuse for him, I should forget him. But no; this man has done more—he dared to lay hands on a man who was my friend, my brother, the Count de Prebois Crance, to whom I have already referred, senores, without mentioning his name. Unable to conquer the count loyally, despairing of winning him over to his shameful cause, he at first tried to poison him ; but, not having succeeded, and wishing to come to an end, he forgot that his daughter, an angel, the sole creature who loved him, and implored divine mercy for him, was the betrothed wife of the count, and that killing him would be her condemnation to death. In his horrible thirst for revenge, he ordered the judicial murder of my friend, and coldly presided at the execution, not noticing, in the joyous deliverence of his satisfied hatred, that his daughter had killed herself at his side, and that he was trampling her corpse beneath his horse's feet. Such is what this man has done; look at him well, in order to re cognise him hereafter ; he is General Don Sebastian Guer rero, military governor of Sonora." The Rest ; or the World as it will be. By the Rev. John Cumming, D.D., F.R.S.E. Bentley, New Burlington-street. This volume is, it appears, the third and last of a series in which the author has " laboured to set forth that nearing blessedness, that bridal of hea ven and earth, the consummation of a long betrothal—that sunshine which once bathed all Eden —and interrupted, clouded, and refracted for six thousand years, will break—the sooner the bet ter —on our earth, and perfect a world that will never fade, and cover it with a glory that will never die." It contains 37 lectures on such themes as " The Great White Throne," " The Binding of Satan," " The Death of Death," &c., and will doubtless prove acceptable to those who agree with Dr. Cumming's theological opinions. An Epoch of my Life : Memoirs of Count John Arrivabene. Translated from the Original, with Notes, by C. Arrivabene. Booth, Regent-street. Those who feel interested in Italian affairs will welcome the present work, as throwing consider able light upon the efforts of Italian patriots, some forty years ago, to free their country from the Austrian yoke. The events here narrated oc curred during the years 1820, 1821, and 1822, when the author was imprisoned, was released, fled to Paris, came to England, was again accused of treasonable designs, his property was seques trated, and himself condemned to death, as "re fractory." It contains, also, various specimens of the arbitrary edicts of the Milan Government, as well as two patriotic songs by Rossetti and Man zoni, and six letters of Silvio Pellico. A Family Tour round the Coasts of Spain and Portugal. By Lady Dunbar. Blackwood and Sons. Edinburgh and London. That anything very new should be told us of countries which have been so thoroughly explored as these is not to be expected ; nevertheless the style of the writer is agreeable, and she hus pro duced an amusing volume. It has been published, moreover, for a charitable purpose, and will doubtless meet, as it deserves, with a consider able sale. The Cornhill. That " Philip" has made a stride this month is unquestionable, but we doubt if he has advanced much in the good graces of the reader. He is now married and has a child, but quarrels with and in sult his employer, who has treated him with civility and invited him to dinner. In fact, he behaves very much like a snob—some would use a harsher term. " Brown, Jones, and Robinson" no longer bore us with their struggles," and we are thankful to be at length delivered from "Agnes of Sorrento." The tale called "A Fit of Jealousy" is well written, and has a good moral. " Fire-damp and its Vic tims" treats of that scourge of the mines. The physiological paper is, as usual, excellent. It is styled " The Brain and its Uses," and thus con cludes : The invention of towns were a pure gain to humanity, if due admixture of the country life can be secured. And to obtain this advantage for our labouring populations is one of the great tasks of our age. Our physiology teaches us that the vice and misery of our great towns can never be combated successfully in the strongholds which they have made their own, and fortified for ages—the courts and alleys where the poisonous atmosphere combines with all hateful sights and sounds at once to deaden and to irritate the ner vous sensibility. From the continued breathing of a vitiated atmosphere inevitably arises either apathy or a craving for intoxicating drinks; in all probability, each in turn. The dark blood, accumulating in the vessels, at firstacts as an irritant, and then reduces the organs to a state of lowered activity ; both conditions aliltekxciting the taste for poison ous doses of alcohol. To deliver the brains of the industri ous poor from these oppressive demons of bad air and hate ful sights ' wore a task worthy of the highest ambition. Nor is it foreign to our theme. For of all work for the idle, or change for those who have been overborne by their own pressing cares, what but a genuine interest in the pains and aspirations of those who need our aid comes nearest to the true " use of the brain ?" The article called " First Beginnings" discusses the preliminary signs of insanity. That "On Growing Old" speaks of the compensations brought by ad vancing years. In "The Inner Life of a Hospital" we have a description of the management of one of the great London establishments; and Mr. Thacke ray, in his Roundabont Paper, " The Notch on the Axe," treats his readers to a bit of mystification. Moreover, in this number he resigns his post. His farewell address appeared last week in Ike Sun. Dtify's Hibernian Sixpenny Magazine. The article in the present number which elaims the merit of utility, is that on " Canada and Ire land." The writer has evidently a strong feeling against this country, is deeply impressed with the wrongs of his own, advises his countrymen to escape bondage by emigrating to Canada, and looks forward with faith and hope to the time when that colony will be a great Irish Republic, or Empire, we are not sure which. The tales comprise "The out. quartersof St. Andrew's Priory," "The Two Lenores," and "Pains and Penalties." There is an essay on " Norse, and Gaelic Popular Talus," and under the head of " An Ugly Subject" we have a disquisition upon ancient and modern poisons, Illustrated Dublin Journal. This, which seems a compromise between the old Penny Magazinoand the cheap illustrated journals of the day, contains tales by Gerald Griffin and Blanchard Jerrold, with numerous minor articles. Prominent among them are descriptions and illus trations of Irish Ruins, and various interesting localities.
