At the eleventh hoursome of our representatives are rendering up an account of their stewardship. Their constituents had, no doubt, faith in the poli tical solvency of Mr. ROUPELL and Mr. ANGER STEIN, so that to pass the accounts of one session two or three days before another began, was all in good time. The past everyone knew, the future was safe, and the whole affair in each case was no thing more than an affair of political conviviality. Elected and electors like to see each other, to ask and answer questions, even to have perhaps alittle Ichaffing, and then to wind up with the stereotyped resolution. Not one time in a hundred does amem ber encounter monitory resolutions, such as Mr. HORSMAN knows all about at Stroud,—" Oh, he's a jolly good fellow—and so are all of us"—is the well-known glee for these occasions. Metropolitan members, like all other speakers, find it naturally impossible to keep on their legs many minutes, now, without going off in their thoughts and words to their English cousins across the water. Both Mr ANGERSTEIN and Mr ROUPELL found themselves in the course of the evening in America, whither their audience evidently followed them with an interest greater than that with which they staid at home with them, over Law Reform, Parliamentary Reform, Bankruptcy Reform, Con servative reaction, and all the topics suggested by the dead and buried session. The two hon ourable members indicated shades of slight differ ence of opinion. Mr. ROUPELL is justly angry with the North, though he had not a word to say for the slaveholding South. Mr, ANGERSTEIN is strongly impressed with the free trade policy of the South as contrasted with the stringent protec tionist tariffs of the North; yet he too was no Southerner. No Englishman can sympathise with slaveholders, or dare show his sympathy in public if he did feel it. We see in the Lambeth and Greenwich audiences and speakers what we shall be sure to find in the House of Commons itself. A determination to ad here rigidly to our neutrality, a clear and unmis takeable anti-slavery feeling, and hence a disap pointment with the North, which seems almost like hostility to it. It is, however, very far from that. The North has been unfaithful to its posi tion and opportunities, and hence, though at this time last year we were all in its favour, the feel ing of the whole country has very much changed since. Mr. ROUPELL had some rather warm Northerner amongst his hearers. When he observed "they should do all in ther power to keep down the natural indignation and disgust they felt at the criminal course which the Americans were pursu ing, and wait for what he hoped would be a speedy termination to their insane and wicked conflict." (A voice exclaimed, " Which sid e ?") Mr. Rou rELt went on—" No doubt it was difficult to say on which side was the right, because they did not know for what the Americans were fighting ? No doubt, if the North had declared for the aboli tion of slavery, a large amount of sympathy would have been felt in this country. A year ago he was under the impression that the North would go in for the abolition of slavery. But now it appeared that they had offered to rescind many of the State Acts which had provided for the safety of escaped slaves, and probably they would be disposed to sur render every one of them. That was a question in which Englishmen were only interested as spec tators, and as members of the great human family, could but suffer when other members of the same family suffered. It behoved them to exercise patience, and to avoid interference, though there were cries being uttered in different parts of the country as to how long they were to regard an in efficient blockade." Such struggles of hope that the North would yet see and do its duty in regard to slavery, with the facts of administrative hostility to any move against it, would be found in any assembly of respectable Englishmen. We wish to believe that events will compel the North to make the war an anti-slavery one; we see that Mr. LINCOLN and Mr. SEWARD are ready to give the slaveholders any guarantee for fugitive slave laws, and for the security of slavery in the Slave States—and we are chilled. When we think of the whole case, all is natural enough. Mr. LINCOLN and the Republicans are hearty Free soilers, but not anti-slavery men. They are prepared to fight rather than allow slavery to be extended into the United States terri tories, but they are as much prepared to fight in resistance to what they, as a party, hate—" aboli tion." Mr. LINCOLN and the Free States are resolutely anti-African. They would, like the people of Kansas, if they could, legislate against the entrance of persons of African descent into their States at all. Mr. LINCOLN in his last Mes sage had the superlative folly to declare that a wholesale deportation scheme must accompany any proposal for emancipation. In truth the Republican party feel not the slightest pity for negroes, they have no sense of their rights, any more than slave holders themselves—they regard negroes simply as a nuisance. Hence they have two principal ob jects—first they want to keep the negro nuisance out of their territories—secondly, they want to con fine the negro nuisance to the present slave States ; and should the war free the whole or a large portion of the slaves, they wish to deport the negro nui sance—Florida they mention—aid to create a kind of tropical Siberia to be peopled there, by those who like the Asiatic Siberians have been unjustly defrauded of their liberty. Our speakers both of them adverted to the blockade, expressing views the opposite to those of Mr. MASSEY, though Mr. ROI/PELL was convinced of the illegality of a blockade which was so ineffi ciently maintained. It is plain, however, that be the consequences what they may, Englishmen will - .lot consent to do wrong to relieve Lancashire. Mr. ANGERSTEIN did but express the general sentiment of the country, which we doubt not will also pre vail in Parliament by a large majority, when he said, "that he trusted that the manufacturing dis tricts would not suffer, as had been antici pated, from a short supply of cotton ; but this threatened evil had to some extent been pro ductive of good, as it had led to serious inquiry relative to obtaining cotton from other than American sources. The Government had paid great attention to this subject as well as the Manchester Chamber of Commerce and the Cot ton Supply Association, and he believed the result would be that in a, very short time we should not by any means be dependent upon America for cot ton, but it would be procured in large quantities from India, the West Indies, Africa, and other countries. The Professor of Modern History in the Univer sity of Oxford, Mr. GOLDWIN SMITH, has within the last few days put forth so extraordinary, and as it also appears to us so extrava gant a proposition, that we cannot but hasten at once to comment upon it as it deserves. Mr. SMITH'S proposition, then, to begin with, is simply this—that• England should with all convenient despatch mismember her Empire. Britannia may still rule the waves, but she must forthwith give up her colonies. That is the perverse and eccentric thesis wilfully selected by the Regius Professor of History at Oxford, and persistently argued upon by him from the beginning to the end of the chap ter. A chapter it is, in its way, the oddest and, in some senses, the most irritating that could well be to every clear-headed, earnest, and patriotic English man. It is fairly out-Benthaming BENTHAM. It is carrying a reasonable proposition to the utter most extravagance. A capital specimen after its kind, the letter is, in truth, of the reductio ad absurdum. Strange it must seem to everyone, at the very outset, that a man occupying the eminent and responsible position which Mr. GOLDWIN SMITH has won for himself, purely by the force of his raro and cultivated intelligence, should—in structor of the Youth of the Nation though he is— have arrived, deliberately, at so low an estimate of the rank attained by England among the nations of the civilised globe. His conviction, as to the Decadence d'Angleterre, appears to be so much in accordance with that ungratefully insisted upon,and disgracefully promulgated by M. LEDRU ROLLIN in his new and revised version of " Rollin's His tory," that we actually find this very cosmopolitan Regius Professor of History, coolly maintaining that we had better put the best face upon the matter at once—(bad certainly must be the best if this is all, forsooth, that can reasonably be hoped to come of it I)—and that doing this, England should quietly yield up, as soon as may be, not merely little Archimedian resting-places, where she can move the world whenever she pleases—such as the Rock of Gibraltar or the little rocky island of Malta—but immense possessions, like the two Canadas, like Hindostan, like that grand fifth con tinent at . our antipodes—Australasia. A cooler proposition in its way could hardly have been set forth had Sir CHARLES COLDSTREAM, for the nonce, occupied the professorial chair for one night only, by particular desire. It is the whim sicallest, Pococurante crochet that one could very well have dreamt of, though sleeping the most bewildering sleep of the veriest victim of hal lucinations. Reading VOLNEY in a just and philoso phic spirit we mayheretofore have come to the couclu sion that the Ruins of Empires ought to to expected invariably to result in reason only from the destruc tive influence either of the lapse of Time or of the arms of Man. A new light is now thrown, how ever, upon our meditations by the Regius Professor of History at Oxford. The British Empire is to prove the rule it seems, by becoming the one old prover bial exception. Having been laboriously built up by the energies of successive races, by the blood, and the heroism, and the genius, and the indomitable resolut ion of whole generations, it is at last if we are to subscribe to the logic of Mr. GOLDWIN SMITH'S argument, it is at last—by a ridiculous anticlimax —to ba shaken down abruptly like a child's house of cards ! Never was there a more bizarre, or, for that matter, we N‘ ill venture to assert distinctly, a SUNS LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, 'FEBRUARY 4, 1862. more ludicrously preposterous mode of reasoning than this. " My wound is great because it is so dull," quoth one of the characters in a forgotten tragedy of DRYDEN'S : " Then 'twould be greater if 'twere none at all I" cries the witty Earl of ROCHESTER from a side box on the night of its first representation. And yet this is, in truth, the kind of paradoxical solecism put forth now by the Regius Professor of History at Oxford at the very epoch when England is at her grandest and best. It is the self-same perverse and flippant absurdity if only we accept Mr. SMITH'S declaration as proven, and (having acted upon it) for " wound" read " Power." As ev i den ce of the exceeding perversity of the Regius Professor's judgment in studying, among all Modern Histories, the History of Histories to us as free-born Englishmen, the History of our own country, of this "dear, dear, England," as SHAK SPERE three centuries ago apostrophized it, "this precious stone set in the silver sea"—as evidence, we say, of the exceeding perversity of Mr. GOLD WIN SMITH'S judgment when he comes to examine into the records of our English annals, it is enough to mark the very curious circumstance that Canada of all our colonies, in this year of grace, 1862), that Canada is the one looked upon by him as irresistibly suggestive of the reasonableness of an immediate dismemberment of the British Empire. Canada! ye Gods! Canada, forsooth, that by its recent display of loyalty, of devotion to the Crown, of a recognition of its identity of interests, and of sympathies with the old mother country, only hints, on the contrary, to the rest of the citizens of this vast Empire that as an Empire it never was more ONE than it is now in this latter half of the nineteenth century. Not thus, however, thinks Mr. GOLDWIN SMITH, who actually commences his extraordinary, and, as we have already been constrained to call it extra vagant, letter, addressed (on the 27th ultimo) to our contemporary the Daily News, in these singular words :—" Ought not, " he asks, " Ought not the narrow escape of a war in defence of Canada to lead the nation to think seriously not only of the reduction of colonial ex penditure, but of all colonial emancipation ? Eng land has long promised herself the honour of be coming the mother of free nations. Is it not time that this promise should be fulfilled P" Why, in the name of common sense, is she not so now— already ? Not (Heaven knows !) that allusion is here made to that anything but enviable offshoot from the old parent tree, the British heart-of-oak—the American sapling now threatening to become split up like the memorable wooden leg of Mr. GAMP (when that gentleman was at his last gasp, accord ing to his veracious relict), namely, " for matches in the rough." We have not a thought just now of Yankeeland when talking of England as already virtually to all intents and purposes the mother of free nations. It is of that very colony of the Zealand, we are h ere colonies,Canadas t w o e T a a r s e m t a hnk niia,ing to New ew lt is to the Australi an making reference ! It is to our vast Asiatic empire in Hindustan, as recently reorganised since its transference from the effete and now vanished power of old JOHN COMPANY to the firmer yet kinder and more liberal rule of JOHN BULL, as symbolised in the grand and gentle sceptre of VICTORIA, that our allusions tend. Here in our Colonies as they are respectively organized, as they are now swayed by the Majesty of England, and as they are now inter nally administered by themselves, we have already an opportunity of recognizing exultantly the world encompassing title of THE BRITISH EMPIRE _England the Mother of Free .Nations. Mr. GOLDWIN SMITH, Regius Professor of Modern History at Oxford though he is, can not recognize it. Yet for all that it is so nevertheless. Does there come at length, we will suppose, however, any hazy glimmering notion of the kind dimly shining in upon the judgment of Mr. SMITH (a judgment seemingly overlaid and obscured by erudition), the Professor may ask per haps for the colonies en mance, or it may be for each of them in detail and in succession, a yet larger amount of freedom than they already possess. He may insist upon it that they should be endowed, one by one or all together, with an actual and nominal and not simply as at present with a virtual inde pendence. Ala bon heure—we will go with him even that length —we will suppose, for the sake of the argument, merely for the sake of his particularly ridiculous argument, that what he would thus insist upon is in itself reasonable. We will grant all that, but while con ceding thus much, we will add something like an echo of that wise and witty reply, addressed by King LEOPOLD, in 1848, to the leaders of the Belgian enzeute,—" Very well, messieurs; so be it, if the nation wishes. Let Belgium be a Republic, if she pleases—l can pack up and leave. But let us have no Revolution !" That precisely might be the tone, should in reason be the tone, in which the majesty of England may reply to the fantastic pro positions set forth by crotchety daydreamers like the learned Professor of Modern History at the first of our great English Universities. Let our colonies if they care, break, one by one, the last golden links that bind them to the benignent glory of the British SOTEREIGN, that knit them together as integral parts of the empire governed under the shadow of the British Flag, and under the dEgis of the British Constitution. Let these sixty colonies of ours, in all parts of the habitable globe, snap asunder, we repeat, one by one those last golden links if they will. But at least England herself will not do so—at least England herself will:persevere to the end of her noble annals in the discharge of the solemn duties and responsibilities of Government devolving upon her from the very vastness of her Empire, waiting the while humbly and reverently the decrees of Divine Providence. The Queen will hold a Privy Council to-morrow (Wednesday) at Osborne. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday at the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury, in Down - ing- street. The Ministers present were :—Viscount Pal merston, the Lord Chancellor, Earl Granville, Sir George Grey, Earl Russell, the Duke of Newcastle, Sir G.

Edward Cardwell, Lord Stanley of Alderley, and the Right Hon. C. P. Villiers. LORD L Y NDIMRST.—We are happy to say that the prevalent unfavourable rumours respecting Lord Lynd • hurst's health are greatly exaggerated. The noble and venerable lord is confined by a slight attack of gout, but in other respects is in excellent bodily health. The Recordership of Hastings, with Rye and Seaford, has become vacant by the death of Mr. W. W. Atreet, barrister-at-law, TLeir Serene Highnesses the Prince and Princess Leiningen have returned to Howchin's Hotel, from Osborne. The Marquis and Marchioness of Exeter have been entertaining a select party at Burghley House, Stam ford. The Marquis of Downshire is expected at his residence in a few days, from his seat in Ireland. The Earl and Countess Russell and family come to town on Thursday, from Richmond Park, for the season. The Earl and Countess Stanhope arrived at their residence in Grosvenor-place lust evening, from Chevening Park, near Sevenoaks. Viscount Sydney has arrived at his residence in Cleveland. square, from Prognall Lodge, Footscray, Kent. In connection with the rise in the Turkish Loan of 1868, there is a rumour that the Turkish Government has confirmed the proposed tobacco tax, which is expected to be extremely productive. LATEST NEWS. PARIS, FEB. 4. The Moniteur of this morning says : " A foreign journal asserts that in the fifth com mittee-room of the Senate, the Minister of State, in the name of the Emperor, made certain declara tions in reference to the Roman question: " This assertion is doubly false. " In the first place the Ministers with portfolios only speak in tneir quality of senators. The mis sion of speaking in the name of the Emperor's Go vernment appertains only to the Minister without portfolio. " In the second place, it is completely incorrect that M. Walewski spoke in the terms reported by the foreign journal." FLORENCE, FEB. 3. A popular demonstration took place today in this The populace traversed the streets with flags and bands of music, shouting " Rome as the capital of Italy !" " Down with the Pope King !" " Long live Victor Emmanuel !" Before dispersing the crowds proceeded to the residence of the French Consul. VIENNA, FEB. 3. The official 'Wiener Zeitung of to-day contains an article stating that the idea of the cession of Venetia would be disgraceful, infamous, and absurd. The valley of the Danube near Vienna is inun dated, and the communication between the Northern and Western Railways has been interrupted in consequence. Prague is also partly inundated. The sixth class of the Gymnasium at Cracow has been dissolved on account of an attempt against the life of Professor Huelsebeck. BOMBAY AND MAURITIUS MAILS. The Massilia, with the above mails, left Malta for Marseilles on the 2d inst. at noon. The Ellora, with the heavy portions of the mails, would probably leave Malta on the evening of the 3d. She may be expected at Southampton about the 12th. OUTWARD CALCUTTA, CHINA, AND AUS TRALIAN MAILS. The Ceylon, from Southampton the 20th of January, left Malta for Alexandria on the 31st.

The Official Gazette of Turin publishes a letter from Sicily, mentioning the arrest, on the 18th ult., at Vizzino, in the circle of Caltagivone, of a Roman merchant named Settimio di Cavi, who, on his apart ments being searched by the police, was found in possession of 175,000 percussion caps, and of a con siderable number of papers of a treasonable nature, including a passport issued by the Papal Govern ment, and signed by the Legation of the ex-King Francis 11. at Rome. The police next proceeded to seize five large boxes left by Di Cavi with a merchant of Caltagivone. These boxes were found to contain about 85 . 0,000 percussion-caps, and a quantity of earrings, buttons, and shirt pins, which on account of their uniformity, are supposed to be tokens of recognition. Di Cavi is shortly to be tried by the proper authorities for these offences against the State. AMERICA. SOUTHAMPTON, FEB. 3. The steamship Hammonia, from New York on the 21st of January, has arrived here. She spoke the mail steamer Bavaria on the 26th, also the steamer Nashvil:e, five miles outside the Needles, steaming down Channel. The Hammonia brings 42,000 dohs. in specie for Havre, but no despatches or passengers. The news of a battle having taken place in Ken tucky is confirmed. It raged with great fury from 6 a.m, until dark, when the whole Confederate force fled in confusion to their camp. All their cannon, stores, tents, and horses fell into the hands of the Federals. Two hundred and seventy-fiVe Confe derates were reported to have been killed. The Federal loss was heavy. The 10th Indiana Regi ment lost 75 killed and wounded. A Washington despatch states that the Govern ment had received news confirmatory of a glorious victory in Kentucky, and adds that the Confede rates were disorganised, abandoning everything, and flying in consternation. There was great rejoicing at New York over the news. The banks were steadily increasing their reserve of specie, and at the same time reducing their loans. None of the New York banks refused to redeem their notes in gold. The money market was with out change. DRURY LANE THEATRE. Last night, after a very long absence, during which they have made a most successful tour, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean re-appeared at this theatre in the play of " Louis XI." The hearty reception which greeted Mr. Kean's appearance, and the ap preciative manner in which every well-known point was met, showed that his friends had by no means forgotten him; and Mrs. Kean's welcome was equally cordial, through the subordinate part which she plays gave her little opportunity for the display of her rare powers. Earl Granville, Lord President of the Privy Council, gave a dinner last evening, at his residence in Bruton-street, to the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Argyll, Viscount Palmerston, the Right Hon.

At the meeting the roll of Sheriffs for the present year was arranged. Lord Elgin and family have arrived at Marseilles, and are to embark for Alexandria on board the Banshee steamer, which has been in waiting for them for some days, The Scotsman of Saturday says :-- 7 " Private letters from America give reason to expect other changes in the Government in addition to those already known as actual or impending. The President is, and desires to continue, the head of his own Government—an arrange ment not agreeable to sonic of its members. It is not un likely, it is said, that Mr. Seward will go out, being suc ceeded by Mr. Chase, at present Secretary to the Treasury, who in his turn would be succeeded by Mr. Preston King. On the other hand, it is considered not impossible, nor even improbable, that the President may b e driven to resign b y intrigno," city. THE MA GAZINES. Blackwood'e Magazine. This magazine commences with " Caxtoniana," a series of essays on " Life Literature and Manners." It is somewhat peculiar in its style, but contains some striking comments on various ideas connected with its subject. The " Differences between the Urban and Rural Temperament." The distinction is well drawn in these words—" There are persons who, from first to last, are such special lovers of the country that they never feel thoroughly at home in the stony labyrinth of capitals, and there are others who, from first to last, would rather look out in aback-yard in St. James's than on the vales under Fiesole in the hues of a Tuscan autumn, or the waters of Windermere in the hush of an Eng lish June.' These sketches are to be continued, and will doubtless furnish agreeable studies to those who like dissertations on life and manners, drawn by an artistic hand, and replete with classical knowledge. " Wassail," a Christmas story, is concluded in a very satisfactory manner. The wanderers return, and after mourning there is gladness in the desolate dwelling of the vicar. After disappointment came delight to the good household of " Tregarron." " What joy is there higher or brighter than that which comes as the reaction of suffering—the joy which cometh in the morning— the light after darkness." Some of the events at the farm on Christmas eve are quite ex citing, and the grim Australian dog is the hero of the hour in finding out and keeping the lurking robber, "Physicians and Quacks" is the title of a new article that is deserving of attention, and beyond present edification may really prove of ser vice to that large class of mistaken individuals who give heed to the crafty and the cunning, who assert themselves to be the marvellous ministers of disease and the curers of ailments in an incredible space of time, with some remarkable nostrum or other. Some of the chief points of the arguments are thus summed up in conclusion : And now, reader, for the moral; all these rambling re marks have had an aim ; and that aim a practical one. You are mortal, and liable to all the ills that flesh is heir to. You are mortal, and when ill, are timorous. You are mortal, and in your ignorance an easy dupe. Your igno rance respecting the mysteries of life and disease cannot be enlightened by a magazine article; but your ignorance of the danger you run in distrusting physicians and relying on quacks may be enlightened. First, then, we hope to have made it clear that the Art of Medicine, over and above its own special difficulties, is rendered excessively uncer tain because it necessarily rests upon the Science of Bio logy ; and that science is still in a chaotic conditim. Next, we hope to have made it clear, that however imper fect the knowledge of the physician may be, it is necessarily of incalculably greater value than the knowledge of the quack, who, having never studied the organism in health and disease, is simply as ignorant as you are yourself. . . If you are ill, and distrust the medical aid of your town or country, act courageously in that distrust, and leave the cure to nature. But in no case withdraw your confidence from the imperfect skill of the physician, to place it on the perfect ignorance of the quack. The Medical Art of the day may be incompetent to restore the "digestive vigour" to your stomach which has lost its tone ; but, oh I be not so misguided as to search for that lost tone in the adver tisements. Are you so inexperienced as put your faith in testimonials ? You will not even send to the library to borrow (much less buy) the book, which a page of adver tised "opinions of the press" assures you is the most splen did work of the day, thrilling in incident, profound in thought, brilliant in style, replete with humour and pathos, and with every other quality which a book could have. You are deaf to these trumpets. You order a book of which none of these things are said—about which there is no flourish whatever. And you are wise. But why does this wisdom desert you when a pill or a lotion is placarded on the walls, or arrests your attention in the advertising columns ? Is it of more consequence that you should yawn over a trashy book, which 3ou have seen praised as a chef ar (mare, than that you should ruin your health because a charlatan praises his medicaments ? An amusing anecdote is told of a man who urged another to try some " Powder" of wondrous efficacy, and afterwards alleged that his faith rested on the knowledge that " the advertiser made a very good living out of it." " Captain LClutter buck's Champagne" is finished, and presents us with some capital scenes. For instance the final and complete discomfiture of Melhado is most smartly told, and his "take in" in the duel was quite a success for the perpetrators of the joke. This tale has throughout been written in a lively style, and has the additional advantage of bringing before us some scenes of West India life. It is satisfactory to mark the triumph of the conspirators in their hazardous venture. " Chronicles of Carlingford" has now for subject " Salem Chapel," and the account of the adventures or rather misadventures, of the energetic young minister is very entertaining. Whereas he thought he was to be the inspired trainer of an elevated and enlightened community, he found himself surrounded by a thoroughly common class, who had neither the elegance of one rank nor the simplicity of another. He was deeply mortified at the insight he gained into the abodes of his congregation. Vulgar pretension and ab surd jealousy seemed to reign paramount, and in vain did the educated and refined scholar seek complete isolation—nothing would do but that he must be dragged forward as the " show" of the party, and the guest of which every house keeper seemed proud. At last he sees the grand vision of some lady who is of another sphere to that in which the wretched hero of " Salem" had alighted. With this gleam of romance to lighten the sad world of reality, we leave the aspirant in solitude. " The Origin of Language" is the name of some verses that are composed in a spirited strain, and are also of a flowing style. These verses designate the style ; 'Tis not very easy to tell How language had first a beginning, When Adam had just left the shell, And Eve hadn't taken to spinning ; Or if, in some other queer way, Men rose to be lords of creation, What power brought their tongues into play, Or prompted their speechification ? Toroddle, toroddle, toroll. Some think they were ready inspired With lexicon, syntax, and grammar, And never like children required At lessons to lisp and to stammer. As Pallas by Jove was begot In armour all brilliantly burnished, So Man with his Liddell and Scott And Buttman or Blomfield was furnished. Toroddle, toroddle, toroll. Some say that the primitive tongue Expressed but the simplest affections; And swear that the words said or sung Were nothing but mere Interjections. 0! 0! was the signal of pain : Ha! Ha! was the symptom of laughter _Pooh ! Pooh ! was the sign of disdain, And others came following after. Toroddle, toroddle, toroll. " The Defence of Canada" is a long article that enters fully into the question, and is written con amore. 'Various plans are proposed at the con clusion in the event of a war, which are modestly described as speculations for what they are worth. An unfavourable opinion is expressed concerning the Grand Trunk Railway, which is described as useless when hostilities begin with an enterprising enemy in our front. Apart from these opinions, which are sure to provoke *criticism, all patriots will agree in the truth of the last paragraph, which states that " the results of a war so waged must, of course, depend on the military genius of the leaders on either side, and the bra ver y o f t h e troops. But assuming these to be equal, we think the odds are in favour of our countrymen. In deed, if the proposed canal be completed in time, from the seaboard to Lake Ontario, and the flying corps which is to harrnss the American coasts do its duty, the war with England of 1863 will pro bably teach the Federals a lesson which they are not likely to forget for many years after." There is a note relating to an able article in the Decem ber number of this magazine on Augustus Welby Pugin. Some error there mentioned is referred to in a letter from his son, who at the same time bears flattering testimony to the interesting and favour able review of his father's life. Fraser's Magazine. The contents of Fraser is more than usually varied this month both in style and subject. It opens with a review of Mr. Arthur Helps's last volume on the Spanish Conquest in America, from which able and exciting record many extracts are given. The singular and somewhat unconnected story bearing the eccentric title of " That latta! That latta !" proceeds with animation. We pre sume that its disjointed parts will be welded together before long. " An old apprentice of the law" gives us a pleasant rambling paper on some of the editors and newspaper writers of the last generation, which includes some names that will not :pass away with the ephemeral productions over which they presided. A genial tribute to the memory of the late Lord Herbert does full justice to his life and labours. Lord Campbell gives a clear and succinct resume of the stirring events of 1831-32, which, without entering on argument or theory, I-utns up very simply and corcisely the heads of the great struggle. From its judicial calmness of tone and importance of subject, it comes appropriately from one who is the inheritor of so eminent a name and fame. The rival claims of single and married life are discussed in a brief but sensible paper, in which it is remarked that the greater freedom and increased mental resources now enjoyed by unmarried women, together with the recent revelations of the dark side of married life must tend to lessen their willingness to accept the gilded fetters. The story of " Barren Honour" by the talented author of " Guy Livi ngs t one , " proceeds rapidly. The engagement between Alan Wyverne and his cousin is broken off as the reader has foreseen, thanks, he cannot help suspecting, to Lady Mildred's ingenious assistance. A abort essay on " The Muse and the Drawing-room," ex presses the natural astonishment felt by any rational person in listening to the words of our amateur songs. Why it is absolutely necessary that vocalists should resort to such a collection of meaningless interrogatories and senseless regrets as we are commonly favoured with is a puzzle hard to solve. It would appear more easy to adapt stirring or flowing strains to congenial and expres sive lyrics than to platitudes whose re-appear ance :n a thousand forms deprives them of even the attraction of novelty. r,As tho writer observes, the s t up idi ty o f most of these productions is the more singular as when there is any happy exception it is so eagerly welcomed. Witness the striking success of Miss Lindsay's adaptations of the beautiful words of Tennyson and Longfellow. Witness also the celebrity of those wonderfully expressive ballads which add another melody to the music of Kingsley's words. As this is not the first remonstrance of the kind we have seen, we may hope that public taste will effect an im provement in this particular. We are sorry to have to differ from Mr. Mills, but there are few passages in his article on the contest in America with which we can coincide, excepting the hearty denunciation of slavery. The view which he takes of identifying the North with the abolition of slavery was pre cisely that which ranged the greater part of this country on the Federal side at the commencement of the struggle. English sympathies were soon, however, repelled by the increasing conviction that the Northerners might be fighting for a good many objects, but that the total destruction of slavery was not among the moving incentives to war. If this motive bore even a considerable share in it, as Mr. Mill states, how was it that total abolition was not proclaimed at the outset. We deny Mr. Mill's accusations against the feeling of this country ; it is rather the Americans who should consider whether their speeches, actions, and writings have been in keeping with "a war of justice and prin ciple." We regret to see a writer of Mr. Mill's reputation and ability support so unflinchingly a doubtful cause. Colburn's New Monthly Magazine. A paper on the " Seaboard of British North America" opens this number, and gives an interest ing account of Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and other neighbouring localities. The writer justly comments on the absurd conduct of the Yankees, in destroying harbours which, accord ing to their own arguments, belong of right to them, and will shortly be again under their domi nion. The interesting but melancholy tale of " The Shadow of Ashley Dyat," by the talented, author of "East Lynne," is continued with its accustomed ability. The details of Ethel Grame's brief illness and death are given, and fresh trouble is hanging over the Godolphins, in Sir George's increasing illness and wandering mind. The ease and animation of the style possess all their usual attractions, and give an air of naturalness to the domestic scenes. Cyrus Redding contributes some verses on the " Royal Bereavement," and Sir• Nathaniel gives us an article on the " Constable Bourbon," the famous renegade. This historical celebrity affords the writer a good opportunity for introducing the quotations and references of which he is always so lavish. He gives a full account of that ghastly sack of Rome, which proved fatal to its projector. Mrs. Bushby gives us a mourn ful story, entitled " Federalists and Confe derates," exhibiting some of the domestic miseries inflicted on inoffensive families by the civil war. " Granville de Vigne ; a Tale of the Day," proceeds with spirit, and clouds are threat ening over the heads of the ehief actors. There is an interesting paper on " Acclimatisation," which gives curious particulars regarding the importation and naturalisation of animals. The experiments which have been made in importing the llama ap pear to have been very successful, The late Lord Derby, in his collection at Knowsley, had no less than sixty of these animals, who were so acclima tised that they remained in the open air through the winter. William 11., of Holland, imported several llamas and alpacas to the Hague about six teen years since, which have now grown to be eighty in number. The difficulty of feeding the animal is now entirely overcome, as it is found that those hitherto bred in Europe live during summer on meadow grass, and in winter on hay and oats. So far back as 1765 Buffon formed the idea of introducing the llama into the Alps and Pyrenees, being confident, he said, that these animals would prove an incalculable gain to Europe, and pro duce a greater profit than all the gold of the New World. The great demand which has existed of late years for alpaca and llama cloths supports tt,e great naturalist's idea of the importance of tl'Ase animals. The attempt which is now being - made to introduce the dromedary into the south of France, where it is being substituted for mules in the salt works, is also spoken of. We doubt, however, whether the suggestion made by the writer, as to the introduction of the camel into North America, would be equally successful, owing to the greater severity of the winters. The newly discovered " Gold Diggings of Otago" furnish the subject of a lengthened paper, describing the rise and progress of the colony. " The History of the French Army" is brought to a conclusion ; it gives an account in this part of foreign troops in the service of France, prominent among which are the adventurous " Gerdes Ecossaises," who claim the distinction of being the first foreigners who shed their blood in defence of the Kings of France; and also the Swiss, who sealed their fidelity to the unfortunate Louis XVI, with their lives. The United Service . 2114 gazine. The United Service of this month contains several very interesting articles, commencing with one on the recruiti ng system, i n which it is demonstrated that with the most splendid material at her com mand for forming fi rs t- c l ass sold i ers, England contrives, although expending vast sums of money, never to possess an effective army. The cause of this is ascribed to th e cont i nual reduction and augmentation of the number of the troop. com bined with the i ntignificant pay of the Bother, which is far inferior to what can be earnet by ordinary labour. While the American soldier receives thirteen dollars per month, with fi t e rations, the British soldier clears fourpence half penny a day, after paying for food and washing, but out of which sum he has various expenses to de fray of clothing, &c., &c. It is maintained that were their pay increased sixpence per day, a far higher class of men would be forthcoming; the recruiting -sergeant would no longer require artifice and deception to lure the unthinking to accept the Queen's shilling ; and, instead of lads of six ' teen and seventeen, who soon repent of their bar gain and too often desert, able-bodied men would be forthcoming. The United Service seems to have accepted as its mission the censorship of Govern ment shortcomings, and unfortunately there is an abundance of material at their service, not but that great reforms have lately been effected. "Training for the Royal Navy" exposes how thoroughly the great measures of " whole-hog" reformers have destroyed the nursery of England's navy by the, repeal of the navigation laws, which led to the discontinuance of the system of merchant service apprentices. It shows how the abolition of this system tended in a short time to deteriorate the seamen, and that this, added to the necessity of a reduction of rates and freightage owing to foreign competition, caused merchant captains to employ many foreigners, thus the supply of the navy became so reduced that schools for naval instruction, or training-ships, have had to be introduced. Again the transfer of the appointment of midshipmen from naval captains to the First Lord of the Admiralty, who makes it a valuable source of patronage, has reduced the effective force of junior officers, and rendered necessary the for mation of Royal Naval Colleges, &c. Although it is evident that the writer hankers after the good old. times, there is much truth in his remarks. The first article on " The British Cavalry and its Organisa tion" enters into considerable detail on cavalry tactics, and furnishes much information ; but we cannot agree with its author on all points. For instance, why should it be necessary to have twelve and fourteen stone men for light cavalry, who are expected to do fast work, and whose horses are already hampered by their necessarily heavy paraphernalia. His argument, that a co mparatively short man cann o t stand up in his stirrups to deal a blow is absurd. at a time when rifled cannon and Minie rifles will render it necessary for cavalry to manoeuvre with the utmost celerity. But if we differ on this point we cordially agree with the following remarks about pipe-clay and its adjuncts, which ought to have been abolished together with its brethren, hairpowder and pigtails:— Everything has been done that is possible, with a due re gard to the cleanliness and efficiency of the soldier, to re duce the weight which a horse has to carry in marching . order to the lowest amount. The saddlery is as ne ar per fection n ow as can we ll b e , the material and w or k mans hi p surpassing those of other armies. It has . been suggested that the shabraque should be done away with as a useless appendage ; but surely something must be conced e d t o a p pearance. All classes delight in their holiday costume; why, therefore, deprive the soldier of his ornaments, on which, moreover, aro emblazoned the names and emblems of former victories ? Besides the ho rse hi mse l f i s proud of his trappings. There is one change, however, which is highly desirable—the abolition of pipeclay altogeth er from the service, and the substitution of either the black patent, or brown leather belts and gloves. Pipeclay is at all times a nuisance; the fine dust from it finds its way to the lungs, and obstructs the pores of the skin (a fact known to every one who is in the habit of wearing pipeclay gloves, by the unpleasant dry feeling of the hands when the gloves are taken off). It cannot consequently be otherwi se than injurious. A shower of rain spoils the app earance o f t h e belts; the tunics or jackets, notwithstanding ev er y care an d attention, are spotted with it; the cleaning with it eccupies the time of soldiers, which might be better employed; the' balls of pipeclay and brushes are nasty thin gs t o carry ; the dust pervades everything, being as searchi ng as th e d us t o f Gibraltar ; and to wind up, it has an offensive, sickly odour, when wet, pecultar to itself, It is worth inquiry whether
