THE SUN. LONDON, THURSDAY, FEB. 9, 1860. We hear enough of factious combinations against the Government ; but it is the duty of the House of Commons to see to it that the country is not sold to a Triple Alliance. PALMERSTON, LOUIS NAPO LEON, and COBDEN, or, the Cabinet, the Emperor, and Manchester, have been very busy together lately, and the result of thir councils demands at least severe scrutiny. We would not prejudge any of these parties. Each has a right to look to its own interests, and each may easily believe, under the influence of its controlling motive, that in £ eeking its own objects, it is seeking the welfare of its country and of the world. There is no need to impute consciously unworthy motives; but there is need to examine the policy which the parties in alliance may suppose to be dictated by patriotism. To Manchester, encouragement of the cotton trade—to Lord PALArEusToN, strengthen ing a Whig Ministry, and keeping taxation off the shoulders of the wealthy—to LOUIS NAPOLEON the glory of France, when it is the glory of the NAPOLEON dynasty may seem the essence of patriotism, nay, even of philanthropy. But the Whigs, the BONAPARTE'S, an:. Cotton, may not be :the chief good in the eyes of im partial persons. We hope, therefore, the Opposition and the independent members will allow no politi cal bribes, no appeals ad miserccordiam, to bias their judgment. We do not want to turn out the Go vernment—we do not want the bother of another dissolution, but the fear of neither alternative should int.lrfere with the duty which the House at this juncture will owe to its country. We write thus because we do fear that there is danger ahead. None will be more gratified than ourselves to find it otherwise. If we receive from Mr. G L"-,---- I:4INE and his colleague: a Budget which is a Budget for the poor, and for that large class which is often practically the poorest, the less wealthy half of the middle class —we shall give it our heartiest support ; if, on the contrary, we are to have an Income-tax in which the infamous schedule D is still to violate the secrecy of English life and manners, and to fang 'with a r i s t ocrat i c grasp the hard-earned livelihood of those wh o toil and spin—we warn the Triple Alli ance that the l country will measure its strength with Manchester, Downing-street, and the Tuileries united. We hope Mr. GLADSTONE'S sore throat has been one of those afflictions which, we are told, a re blessings in disguise. It has at least given him time to learn the sentiments of many to whose ad monitions, on the worst proposals of his budget, he would do wisely to listen. Those parts may, even now, be exseinded before he lays:his plan ke fore Parliament, and well for him if they be. That something wrong—something needing the advocacy of the most subtle special pleader of the day, to make it look plausible—is forthcoming, must be taken as almost certain. We are a plain business people after all. In a few hours the real business part of Mr. GLADSTONE'S scheme will be sifted from his load of words, and on them, not on the clever speech, will judgment be given. Yet, because Mr. GLADSTONE is hoarse, no other member of the Cabinet, not even the President of the Board of Trade, can be trusted to lay on the table of the house the Cabinet's financial scheme, and the treaty, which we are told forms a part of it. The house would be courteous enough to waive the discussion till the recovery of its Finance Minister, but surely that is no reason why honestly-conceived proposals could not be left to tell their own tale. There would even be some advantage to the orator in seeing what the press of the country said, to compensate for his losing the pleasure of first telling his own story. How can we but fear, under these circumstances, that his Budget and the Treaty can neither of them be trusted on their own legs? The nation is to be treated like children, unable to understand a treaty or a budget, because the Government off spring have " the rickets." Not to be captious, does not what is known of the Government plan look like it? Ist, A corn menial treaty is admitted on all hands to be ob jectionable. Protectionists themselves now under stand that, to fetter our revenue plans for the future, by engagements: with a foreign country, is unwise. Our wine duties are simply revenue duties, for the wines subjected to them cannot be made by us. If we lose too much revenue, we shall, however, be precluded from reimposing the duties. 2dly, on all our manufactured products high duties—almost one-third of their value—may yet be levied, while the raw materials on which in part our superiority depends are to be put cheaply into the hands of those who tax cur znantffactured articles that they may outbid us. All the concession seems to be one sided—both the times of altering the duties and the duties themselves. A treaty, if there must be one, ought to be based on reciprocity. This is based on sacrificing England's revenue to enrich French wine growers, and England's raw material to those who lay heavy burdens on our manufactures. 3dly and worst of all the " damning spot, " unless it be wiped out before Friday night is, that to effect all these concessions to France, English tradesmen, and professional gentlemen of every class, are to be saddled with a NINEPENNY INCOME-TAX ! ! ! If this be persisted in, we hope it will prove a rock which will shiver the Cabinet to pieces. We hope the House of Commons will re fuse to sanction the Treaty unless the deficiency created by it can be made good in some unexceptionable way. No fictions of Mr. GLAD STONE'S fertile imagination ought to carry away the House to sanction this intolerable demand. First—to repeal the duty on a luxury is not neces sary, while to abolish, the most unequal, oppressive, inquisitive, and altogether odious, of, war taxes in time of peace, is necessary. It has been borne hitherto, because it was to come to an end with the falling-in of the long annuities. Next, if cheap luxuries from France are a necessity, let the taxation which makes good the loss to revenue fall on the classes who use these wines— lay a tax—as honest JOHN BRIGHT proposes—on property, not on income. On acquired riches pro tected by the State, which ought to pay for their protection, not on fugitive incomes, perishing with the health or the life of the possessor, and which no law can protect. And, thirdly, equalise the Legacy and Probate Duties. Let the nation demand this with irresistible unanimity and energy before it submits to Mr. GLADSTONE'S NINEPENCE. His trumpery Succession Duties on real property have brought but a few thousands into the Exche quer, while all the time personal property — even that of the poorest tradesman's widow — has been contributing its millions. Till EQUAL PROBATE and LEGACY DUTIES are paid by all her MAJESTY'S subjects, we shall not cease:to denounce the imposers of a NINEPENNY INCOME-TAX as defrauders of the poor in behalf of the rich—as patrons of the landed aris tocracy, with their monster hereditary estates, while they wring from the busy many what ought to be paid by those who neither toil nor spin. We know that Mr. BRIGHT, and all his clique, have been purchased by the French treaty. If, however, the people's orator, after his own exposures of the iniquities of the Legacy and Probate Duties, con sents to leave them as they are, and to accept this odious income-tax, and the ninepenco, we shall have lost all confidence in the great orator. In the name of the million we beseech Mr. BRIG HT not to lend the countenance of his name to this financial extortion. We now know precisely what was meant by the " moderate demands" alluded to in the Speech from the Throne, as having been transmitted from this country for submission to the Chinese Govern. ment. The additional correspondence just given to public view explains as clearly as need be how well these demands deserve the praise due to mode ration, to a moderation in the fullest sense noble and magnanimous. It appears, then, that the sum total of expiation required from the EMPEROR'S Government at Pekin in the name of her Britannic MAJESTY is simply nothing more and nothing less than an Apology ! An apology accompanied, as a matter of course, by a faithful observance, at length, by the Chinese SOVEREIGN of the engagements " contracted for him by his Plenipotentiaries at Tien-tsin and approved by his Imperial edict of July, 1858 !" Nothing beyond this tardy observance of a treaty solemnly signed and ratified eighteen months ago by the respective plenipotentiaries—nothing beyond this tardy ob servance accompanied by an explicit apology for—. what ? Have we forgotten it ? For one of the most dastardly and treacherous ambuscades ever prepared with deliberate and, we might almost say, devillish elaboration for the welcome of a pacific ambassador ! Not a word of indemnity —not a " material guarantee" —not thought of any new whisper of any substantial compensation or satis faction. Merely the requirement of the perfor formance at last of the conditions long since entered into with us by the Chinese themselves, accompa nied by an apology—an apology, it must be allowed, instant, complete, and explicit, but still, after all, nothing more than an apology — for the atrocious crime of that affair on the Peiho, when six or seven of her MAJESTY'S gunboats were wantonly destroyed, and 500 of her MAJESTY'S lieges infamously sacrificed. Well might the Speech from the Throne refer to demands such as these as demands in every respect essentially moderate. Nothing, certainly, could well be more admirable altogether than the instructions transmitted to Mr. BRUCE, in the name of her MAJESTY'S Government, by Lord JOIIN RUSSELL as Foreign Secretary. Setting out in his despatch No. 2, dated " Foreign office, October, 29, 1859," with the supposition that the British representative might perchance have received from the Chinese Government some com munication " with the view of inviting him to proceed to Pekin for the exel.ange of the ratifica tions of the treaty of Ticn-tsin," Lord JOIIN im mediately' sapplies Mr. BRUCE (for his guidance in that contingency) with the following very clover, bold, dignified, and yet very moderate instructions. " If," says the noble lord, " any such proposal has been made to you, and if it be still unanswered when you receive this despatch, you will state, in reply, that you are not authorised to entertain it until the Chinese Government shall have made a formal apology for the act of the troops who fired on her Britannic MAJESTY'S ships of war from the Takoo forts in June last." The Foreign Secretary then goes on to say, " You will add that her MAJESTY'S Government require that, when you go to Pekin for the exchange of the rati fications of the Treaty, you shall proceed up the Peiho river to Tien-tsin in a British vessel, and that provision bo made by the Chinese authorities for the conveyance of yourself and your suite with due honour from Tien-tsin to Pekin." It is simply thus, as we have said—an apology that is required by the British from the Chinese Government as an essential preliminary to the carrying out of the original arrangements. Having explained this to Mr. BRUCE, the Foreign Secretary, adds these additional instructions. He writes :—" Should the assurances given to you by the Chinese Government on these heads be satisfactory, `Sou will make arrangements for proceeding to Pekin at the earliest period at which it may be safe and con venient for you to undertake the voyage. It will be proper that a naval force should accompany you to the mouth of the Peiho, and directions to this effect will be forwarded to Admiral HOPE," But, adds Lord JOHN RUSSELL, " should you experience any unbecoming treatment, either at Pekin or on your journey to or from the capital, you will return to the Gulf, and place the matter in the hands of the naval Commander-in-Chief." All this is upon the supposition of the mere contingency that Mr. BRUCE may, perchance, in the interim have received pacific overtures from the Chinese Government. Otherwise—thus writes the noble Lord the Foreign Secretary to her MAJESTY'S Representative upon the coast of China, —" If no pacific overtures shall have been addressed to you by the Chinese Government before the time when this despatch reaches you, you will immediately on its receipt, communicate to the Prime Minister of the Emperor the demands of her Majesty's Government,• as stated above, and inform him that, unless within a period of thirty days from the date of your communication, you receive from him a reply conveying the Emperor's unqualified assent to these demands, the British naval and military authorities will proceed to adopt such measures as they may deem advisable for the pur pose of compelling the Emperor of China to observe the engagements contracted for him by his Pleni potentiaries," namely the engagements entered into at Tien-tsin, and formally approved as far back as the July of 1858, by the edict of his Majesty the Chinese EMPEROR ! Up to the receipt of these admirably clear and resolute, yet singularly humane and moderate instructions, our naval and military and diplomatic authorities out in the Chinese Seas appear to have been amazingly in doubt whether we were or were not at war with the Chinese people and their Government. Lord JOHN'S very able despatch has, happily, long since scattered the illusion there effectually. And, now, as to our chances of obtaining the re quired apology, otherwise than by the most vigorous and energetic warlike proceedings, both afloat and ashore ! If any doubt upon this point, in any reasonable mind, remains yet to bo scattered, perhaps the dissipation of that doubt may be accomplished through the medium of Mr. REUTER'S Telegram received this very fore noon—given elsewhere in our impression of this evening—dated Shanghai, 21st December—and announcing that the Chinese were then strongly fortifying Pekin and the entrance to the Peiho, upon which latter point 100,000 Tartar troops were being rapidly concentrated ! For ourselves we are in no hurry whatever to have an answer given to the somewhat injudicious inquiry to be made this evening in the House of Commons by Mr. SEYMOUR FITZGERALD whether 20,000 troops more or less are t) be despatched or have already been despatched by England or by France separately, or by both of them together, to the scene of action on the coast of China : we are not particularly desirous of hearing this officially announced for the especial gratification and fore. warning of either the Chinese themselves or their Russian coadjutors. We are not only solicitous, but upon this matter we are indeed profoundly solicitous, that Her MAJESTY'S Government and that of our Imperial Ally across the Channel may separately and together act in veritable earnest in carrying out this third and, let us trust, final war with the Chinese. Let the one watchword of the enterprise be Thorough ! Let both maritime and military preparations be ade quate for the rapid seizure of Pekin, and we have not the smallest doubt in the world but that an excellent account will be given of themselves and of their men both by Admiral HorE and by General Sir 'TOPE GRANT. The Church-rate decision is just of the character which we led our readers to expect. The sup porters of abolition are not diminished—rather increased indeed—but the majority in its favour is lessened. All those who preferred to rusticate on the occasion of former debates, and all the timid Tories, have been summoned from their obscurity and made to do duty as dummies in the ranks of antiquated bigotry. The parsons, squires, and churchwardens have been active in numberless villages, as the list of petitions for an equivalent in the event of abolition shows, and every obscure member has had the whip held before him, with significant intimations as to the next election, if he did not appear and vote against abolition. Tho result is, that though the supporters of the Abolition Bill had increased from 191 last year to 263 this year, the opposition increased also to 234—the majority was 70 in 1859, this year it is only 29. We have not had time closely to scruti nise the votes, but at the first glance the grand difference is apparent enough. On the side of the Noes" are all those members whose constituents dare not call their votes their own ; on the side of the " Ayes" are all the independent constituencies in the kingdom. This decision last night is, in deed, an admirable lesson for Reformers. They will see that independent voting is the condition of sue cevs for every Liberal question. Who doubts that if the farmers dare vote as they wished they would return men pledged to abolish Church-rates ? Yet the county members are the strength of the Church-rate list. Mr. DUNCOMBE will do well to point to this fact to-night, or whenever he can get his motion before the house. It will be resisted, be• cause the landlords will dread its subsequent appli cation to the counties and pocket boroughs; but it is needed more for them than for the Gloucesters themselves. While we could, of course, have wished that the majority, as well as the absolute number of sup porters, had increased, we cannot feel in the least discouraged. The result will, of course, harden the hearts of the Lords till they will become Church-rate Pharaohs, and will yield only when some last great plague terrifies them into concession. But the question itself will only make the more sure pro gress. It will remain over also to vex the Tories when they shall have their turn in office again. What with the increasing number of Dissenters, and the constant additions to the numbers of Churchmen who build churches, and keep them up without rates, and who therefore object to paying rates to the mother Church—the abolition party acquires increased strength every year. The vestry battles, too, will be more and more hotly fought every year, and rates will be abolished by the parish parliaments, whether the House of Lords consents or not. We are, we confess, surprised that Mr. DISRAELI should break silence on the wrong side. lle might have known better. we should think, than to step into Lord J. RussELL's cast off old shoes—he may be sure enough that when men like Lord JoIIN and Sir G. C. LEWIS, throw overboard a cause like Church-rates, that they have gone and gone irrecoverably. He felt, it would seem, that it was unworthy of him to pick up Lord JOHN'S old hackneyed arguments about Church-rates being essential to the safety of the Church, the Lords, and the Crown—and he most ingeniously invented another— the centralisation argument—he abhorred centralised action ! We hope he will keep in that mind; only, ho must remember, that by central action the power to tax was given to the present State Church, and by central action alone can it be taken away. We are glad to see that Lord STAN LEY continues to vote right. LATEST NEWS. The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Reuter's office : TURIN, FEB. 8.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Delta, Captain Black, has arrived with the heavy portion of the above mails, 42 passengers, £14,720 in specie, and a large cargo of general merchandise. She left Alexandria, 26th, and Malta, on the 30th ultimo. The Euxine arrived at Gibraltar on the 3d inst. The Delta spoke the Valetta on the 30th, and the China on the 31st ult. At Alexandria the Egyptian fleet ; at Malta the fleet of Admiral Mundy ; at Gibraltar Admiral Fanshawe's squadron. News from Morocco is to the 2d. The Spanish artillery were occupied in shelling the Moorish camp. Numerous steam and sailing transports were off Port Martin discharging ammunition, provisions, and clothing for the army. The Moors commenced an action on the 31st, and were three times repulsed, but returned each time with increased fury to the attack. They closed with the Spanish in a hand-to-hand combat, but were defeated, and retired obstinately disputing every foot of ground. In a cavalry charge the Spanish found their re turn intercepted by 2,000 Moorish horse, and had to cut their way through, aided by other squadrons which were sent to their assistance. Gen. Prim with four battalions stormed a height commanding a held of battle. The Spanish charged four times with the Dayonet before gaining the position. The Spanish loss in the affair was reported to be considerable. Brigadier Lorenzo Milano del Bosch had been sent for by Marshal O'Donnell to command the second brigade under Prim. The French steamer Seine, and the Spanish steamer Villa di Madrid, were in collision on the 29th ult., off Cax de Gata, and both were seriously damaged. Two hundred and fifty men and seven officers, wounded, arrived at Algesiras on the 2d inst. from the Spanish camp. Since tho commencement of the war with Morocco 11 journals devoted to military matters have been established at Madrid. The next steamer arriving in Southampton from Gibraltar will bring full particulars of the taking of Tetuan. TILE COM3IE.RCI4L T.REATT. " Diogenes," in a letter to a contemporary, says : —ln olden times I had some little hand in the Corn Law agitation and the establishment of free trade principles, and the leaders of the League were not unwilling to let me have my say ; but when the day was carried, and Cobden crowned with glory —lasting glory; as I thought, I retired from the world and returned to my old tub. The strange news of our day has brought me out again, together with my lamp, in broad daylight, to look for honest men and honest principles—apparently as scarce as ever. I find men and things strangely altered. Freetraders used to vote reciprocity and commer cial treaties visionary and clumsy contrivances ; now I am told that Mr. Cobden has negotiated a treaty of reciprocity with France. Freetraders will have, then, to eat a vast deal of dirt, but I don't mean to attend the feast. Let them do their dirty work as best they may. Protectionists may triumph, but cannot sanction this treaty. To abolish our duties on French manu factures that our own may pass at a charge of 30 per cent. ad valorem, is a strange kind of recipro city. Not that I want reciprocity, but the advo cates of reciprocity surely cannot swallow it of this kind. To remove the wine duties that France may avail herself of our iron and coal for the improve ment of her manufactures ought to send the nego tiator to the madhouse. A fair stage and no favour, implied iu the absence of export duties, is sufficiently liberal ; no rational man helps his rival in trade in the establishment of a shop next door to his own. The gracious permission to extend to other nations the reductions contracted for resuscitates the old practice of differential duties, and will justify other people, nay—our own colonies, in pesteringus and the world with an ample supply of protective measures of the antique and most approved pat tern. If, in short, the treaty be right, then our clamouring shipowners are and were right, then the Corn Law was wise and beneficial, then the early lives of Cobden, Bright, and all that sort of folk were folly, delusion, ignorance, and wickedness. In what the takin g off o the duties on cotton and wool concerns us, and what this has to do with the treaty, is not easy to discern ; it cannot benefit our manufacturers, who would rather see these things prohibited in France or charged with a cent. per cent, rate. If that was a condition insisted upon the negotiator's understanding must have been much shorter than his ears. But I am told that this is not a commercial but a political measure, meant for the attainment of great political considerations, no less than the friendship of France and security against invasion—and that love and fear justify in this case departure from the principles of national economy. Now, friend ship must be based on respect, which we forfeit by this great inconsistency and apostacy ; and security is not to be bought by imbecility, but is the result of wealth and strength. The commercial treaty is to make not us, but France, strong and rich ; it is to teach the French to be as we are. It is to in duce them to avail themselves of cur iron and coal, the essentials of our greatness, that they may have better machinery, cast more guns, and b u ild ships at a lesser cost. Do we want to thrust greatness, h wealth, and power away from us into the hands we arc afraid of ? If I am on this sco re to do p art from the principles of free trade, let it be in the right direction. Put an export duty, and a heavy one, on coal and iron ; that would be a bit of national tinkering I might understand.itislike that of As for the friendship of foreign nations, yet stood the the Stock Exchange, which never test of one-eighth per cent: The French are a numerous and powerful peopsole, ambitious, fickle that in three aggres sive, grasping, capricious generations they have had two dozen constitutions, and three dozen Governments , their friendship may be read in the history of a thousand years, and is not to be relied upon. Their respect may be se cured, not by weakness and safety we had b best but by high moral qualifica tions ; for w look to ourselves. Where are the apostles of free trade ? Where is Villiers, where Bright, where Milner Gibson ? Have office and em olument, have a few shilli ngs less duty on i ro n, coal, and printed cottons d e m en t e d them ? Cannot they muster courage to risk place or Parliament ar y honour when their place in public estimation, when their own and their country's honour are at stake ? Is their occupation gone ? To disregard domestic affairs, to sacrifice revenue, principle, and character, that our natural competi tors (to use a gentle phrase) may greatly advance in wisdom, wealth, and power, is an absurdity, impolitic, dishonest, disgraceful, weak, dangerous, treasonable. I say this without 'hesitation, and I say so to Lord Palmerston, even at the foot of the Throne, and within hearing of her Majesty, Is the noble lord appointed to govern France or his own country ? Has he not had a sufficient lesson but two short years ago, that his officiousness for the 36,000,000 over the water annoys the 30,000,000 at home ? (From the Morning Advertiser.) In answer to a question put last night by Mr. Fitzgerald, Lord John Russell admitted that the statement in the Independance Bel g e, which was given in ou r own an d other journals yesterday, re specting the provisions of this treaty, was substan tially correct. Under these circumstances, we lose not a moment in sounding the trumpet to the people of this country, to prepare for war with the authors of a treaty so obnoxious,—we will even say iniquitous ; for it is no less than a re gular and deliberate sacrifice of the best commer cial interests and social comforts of the people of this country, to please the Ruler of France. It is discreditable, nay, it is degrading to the Eng lish nation, to see our Government thus ingloriously truckling to the ocoupant of the Tuileries. In humble deferences to his wishes, the trading classes of this country are to pay 30 per cent. on the raw material of various articles manufactured in France, while French goods and articles are to nay no duty to this country. But this is not all. In order to make up for the deficiency of ;C2,000,000 in the: revenue caused by the abolition ,of atties received on articles imported from France, we are to have an income tax of ninepence in the pound, And the middle, and even a portion of the working classes will have to groan under this heavy burden—to some almost intolerable — solely because it is the order of the day in Downing street that Louis Napoleon must be pleased. Will the people of this country submit to the monstrous injustice as well as deep indignity to which it is intended to subject them, as a peace offering to French Imperialism ? 'We do not believe it. At any rate, it will not be our fault if they do. The people must be up in arms—we mean moral, not physical arms—to defeat this monstrous measure, even should it be at the risk of overthrowing the Government which has proposed it. .LITERATURE. New _Relations and Bachelor's hall. By . Urbia Rus. 1 vol. AVeaterton. In this volume wo meet with two very smart sketches of social life. One is of the town and the other of the country. In the first tale the troubles of the unfortunate Mrs. Vivian are most forcibly narrated. How after her brilliant marriage she discovered the serpents in her Eden were her new relations, who one and all conspired to plague her. Laura was a charming girl, and no one could find a fault with her, so her griefs and annoyances were at all events not envenomed with the sharp sting of family jars and recriminations. The various mem bers of the family did not differ in their estimate of her, yet they made her their confidante, at all times, a thankless office in the jarring of family disputes, and a most disagreeable infliction. Again these harpies seemed to consider the house of the young couple as their rallying point and piece de resistance whenever they came to town. The needy and fashionable Grace expected her to give the fashionable entertainments that were to make the family fzmous, and enable her to execute sundry little plans for the benefit of her sisters. Jemima, on the contrary, another of the sisters-in-law, was of the domestic interference-style, and living in the country she liked to rush up to town occasionally and bring her children with her. On these occasions she made poor Laura, her hostess, nolens volens. To crown all, the elder brother of her husband at last took up his abode with them. Hyde Vivian was a very fascinating person, but he was a very danger ous companion for Herbert, who, being very fond of his brother was, of course, the more likely to be swayed by him ; as Laura feared, her husband soon became involved, to a serious extent, in the affairs of his extravagant relative, and it was only through the instrumentality of Laura's aunt that they were enabled to arrange their affairs at all. This story is taken up with the account of trivial things for the most part, but a deeper feeling than that of merely recording the career of a fashion able pair, is apparent in its course. The author evidently wishes to display some of the evils that militate against the welfare of many, particu larly the insidious vice of gaming. In the second tale called " Bachelor's Hall," this is also aimed at, and the account of the slippery course which Arthur O'Hara so long had trod, brings the dangers and difficulties of the practice fully before us. Besides this incident there are several strik ing occurrences mixed up in the story, which gives it some point and purpose. Particularly to be noticed is the downfall of the crafty and selfish Mrs. O'Hara, whose conduct was always un natural to her youngest son, and whose absurd deference to the eldest one met with its due recom pense. The reader will find in this book two very readable stories which are quite worthy of notice, and which possess sufficient vivacity of style to render them an amusing acquisition to the library table. Crockfords Clerical Directory for 1860. 19, Wellington-street. We are told in the preface to this valuable work of reference that some five years ago the conductors of the Clerical Journal resolved to put in practice an idea which had been suggested to them of com piling a biographical dictionary of the clergy of the Established Church. The plan had been proposed by friends and subscribers to the journal; and as they continually felt the need of such a work in conducting the journal, they resolved to attempt the task, though fully prepared for the labour and research, as well as the great expense, of such an undertaking. Their expectations of success have, however, been fully realised. The reception of the first edition of the Clerical Directory was most favourable, while the subscriptions to the new and improved impression before us have reached three thousand. We are not surprised at so satisfac tory a result. Such a work of reference has long been wanted, and the editors have spared no pains to make it as full and as authentic as pos sible. The seventeen thousand five hundred names in the book have been arranged in strict alpha betical order—of itself no light labour; each has been revised and corrected by the aid of Parlia mentary Blue-books, University Calendars, returns of the clergy, and similar publications. A com plete index to benefices and curacies has also been added to this editi on , i n s t r i c t accor d ance w i t h the biographical porti on o f th e b oo k. A c h rono l og i c al list of bishops, from 1774 to 1859 inclusive is given; with the name in full of each clergyman, the col lege where he took his degree, the date at which he was ordained, the amount of his income and the population of his parish, together with a list of any volumes of sermons or other works he may have published. The editors do not pro fess ['perfect immunity from error, but they claim the indulgence of the public for the early editions of so extensive a work, and they promise a continuance of their careful supervision, so that from the success which has hitherto attended their labours we may satisfactorily anticipat e s till f ur th e r improvement. It is a most usef u l an d compen di ou s vo l u me, and every library should include it among its works of reference. 2.111 S liars MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE. A little play, new and original withal, by Mr. H. 1011, called " Caught in a Trap," was produced at this theatre last night, amid the hearty applause of a numerous audience. The plot is of simple structure, and may be described in few words. Tho story is Spanish, and the scene is laid chiefly at Toledo, where Donna Vittoria, a young and beautiful widow, charmingly personated by Miss Carlotta Le clerq, lives in melancholy seclusion, the only com panions of her solitude being Marcella (Mrs. Weston), a grim duenna of the most despotic disposition, and Montafar (Mr. Graham), an old steward, who is as liberal of his advice as faithful domestics usually are, upon the stage. Attracted by the fame of the lady's loveliness, Don Juan de Sylva (Mr. Melville) a romantic and adventurous cavalier, devises a scheme for procuring admission into her castle. Under the pathetic disguise of a waylaid traveller, wko has been shamefully maltreated by robbers, he invokes the hospitality of Donna Vittoria, who, struck by the noble air of the stranger, and touched by his well-dissembled sorrows. is not long in crossing the narrow boundary which divides the domains of pity and love. Don Juan improves his occasion with such rapidity and expertness that in a few days he is the accepted suitor of the widow, whose happiness, however, is suddenly over clouded by the unwelcome intelligence that the gentleman who has taken such summitry possession of her heart must proceed without de lay to Madrid upon some mysterious errand con nected with the Court. He departs vowing eternal constancy, and promising a quick return. The lady believss him with all the fond credulity of her sex, and is only awakened to a sense of his perfidy upon discovering a packet of letters which he has forgotten behind him, and from which she learns the true motive of his sudden departure, which is no other than to marry another—a richly-dowered dam sel, whom he has never seen, but who has been chosen for him by his father, who has enclosed her miniature in one of the letters. The widow's heart is wrung by this bitter revelation ; but her pride also is piqued, and, plucking up courage, she determines to foil the deceiver with his own weapons. In com pany with her faithful serving-man, she repairs forthwith to Madrid, and there plays her cards with such address as completely to out-manoeuvre her antagonist at his game of false pretences. She takes upon her the character of a duenna, and in this unamiable disguise, which her grace and beauty certainly render rather difficult of assumption, she is employed by the father of Angelica (Miss Clifford), the very lady to whom Don Juan is about to be wedded, to keep a jealous watch over his daughter, and especially to debar her from all opportunities of communication with Don Valdez (Mr. R. Cathcart), to whom she is de votedly attached and privately affianced. Of these duties Donna Vittoria acquits herself with Punic faith. She fosters Angelica's love for Valdez and her aversion for Juan with equal zeal, and finally denounces the latter as a married man with three children, who is intent not on an honourable snit, but simply on the offence of bigamy. .In the last scene of all she undertakes to personate the apocry phal wife whom he has so heartlessly forsaken ; but when she lifts her veil the sense of her beauty and of his own perfidy is too much for her faithless lover, who admits his folly—to call it by in harsher name—and incontinently returns to his allegiance. Thus diamond cuts diamond, and he who had set a trap for another is caught in it himself. There is a lively underplot, showing the rise and progress of a passion, more ludicrous than tender, in the hearts of Lopez (Mr. H. Saker), the cavalier's squire, and the widow's own-woman. Miss Leclercq's acting in this little piece is marked by singular grace, delicacy, and refinement. Mr. Melville, too, is seen to good advantage in the hero, but the effect of his performance is, as usual, greatly impaired by his unhappy habit of per petually tossing about his arms, and waiving them circularly in the air like the sails of a windmill. It is due to Mr. Harris to add a word of praise of the misc en scene, which is very beautiful. CANTERBURY HALL. To a gallery already rich in gems of art Mr. Morton has lately added a number of paintings of the most exquisite beauty, well calculated to fur ther the great object he has in view, viz., the re finement of the taste of theindustrious classes for the fine arts. Amongst the new pictures adorning the walls of the gallery aro " The Lobster Catchers off the Coast of Cornwall." by J. C. Hook, A.R.A. (an admirable specimen of this ar tist); "The Red Gown," of H. M. Anthony (ex hibited at the Manchester Fine Arts Exhibition) ; " The Cottage Door," by J. Linnell ; " The Young Gleaners," by Verheyden (who painted the fine picture of " Coming Events cast their Shadows before," in Mr. Morton's collection) ; " The Cook turned Politician," by E. Frere ; "The Foot Bath," a finished picture by Schlesinger ; a scene from " Hamlet," representing Ophelia and Gertrude (a fine specimen of the late Frank Stone) ; and "Pierre Buonaventari and Bianca Capella" a picture re pi-educing a romantic incident in Venice in the sixteenth century, painted by Muller. Of histori cal pictures there are four exquisite paintings re presenting stages in the Battle of Cape St. Vin cent, by Anderson ; and a newly painted picture of the Battle of Trafalgar, by W. J. Knell. A colossal picture, depicting the scene of one of the great inundations in France, grandly conceived, and. as ably executed, by the French artist Antigna, occupies a large portion of one end of the gallery. 'While the enterprising proprietor's attention has been given to the enrichment of his picture gallery, he has not been idle in his search for talent in the sister art—music. The latest engagement entered into by him is with Mr. Henry Herbert, a gentleman possessing a tenor voice of the greatest purity and freshness. Unlike many of his prede cessors Mr. Herbert's voice has not been spoiled by over work or over taxation, and new as he is to the metropolis, in a few months he will take his place among the leading artistes of the day. A HUSBAND FOR PRINCESS ALICE.—The Brus sels correspondent of the An:sterdanische Courant states that King Leopold, as uncle of Queen Victoria, has received an official communication of the projected marriage between the Prince of Orange and the Princess Alice.

The Commissioners of the Public Debt publish an account of the state of the sinking fund. The total capital amounts to about 196,000,000 florins, of which a nominal sum of 143,000,000 will be applied to the redemption of the public debt, thus saving about 6,000,000 of interest per annum. This reduction of the public debt, says the report, will increase confidence. A sum of about 41,000,000 florins—namely, Grundsentlastung securities, 9,500,000 ; Northern, Railway bonds, 1,750,000; Gallician Railway bonds, 14,000,000 ; and Theiss Railway bonds, 15,750,000, and will be transferred to the National Bank as payment on account.
