A quiet simplicity runs through most of these narra tives of remarkable daring. which adds greatly to the pleasure of reading them. Switzerland hardly wants any additional attraction to Eng lishmen.

Just Published, price ls., free by Post for Fourteen Stamps, SECOND LIFE : or ELECTRICAL NER VOUS FORCE ; a MEDICAL WORK, intended for the special perusal of all who are suffenng from the various forms of NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, and the •distr6ss ing ulterior consequences to which they lead ; with practical Observations on the great Curative power of ELECTRO GALVANISM in the treatment of these Disorders; by infus ing tone and vigour in constitutions relaxed or debilitated from various enervating causes. Illustrated with Cases com piled from the Note-book of a Registered Medical Practi tioner of twenty years' standing. Unlike many vaunted restoratives, Electricity is one which commends itself to the medical man as being accordant with the soundest teachings of physiology. By the most obvious indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and Nervous energies are identical ; hence, that when the latter fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili tated, paralystd, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a condition little short of total prostration, then by the action of Electricity, imparting certainty and efficacy to medical treatment, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of SECOND LIFE.

Although the attendance of general company was yesterday comparatively ;meagre, the gathering to day was still more scanty. The flymen at Drayton and Chichester were compelled to abandon their exorbitant scale of charges for lack of passengers, and acting on the poet's maxim of " None but the brave deserve the fare," they actually fought for any belated wight, whom they would bear off in triumph and convey to the course on his own terms. The proceedings in a social, but not in a quadrupedal sense, were emphatically " slow," and the character of the competitors was not of an order to renter their performances important, or to ex cite more, than a transient interest amongs t genuine racing men. .The Americans have proved the truth of the saying of the man down South, who averred that British horses' couldlick creation, but that 'theirs could lick the British. Mr. Ten Broeck brought froth Aineiica a stud of half-a dozen horses. Prioress, in her second year in Eng land, aftei running in such a manner as to make all people believe that she .would not be able to win a saddle and bridle .at 136rnet fair, carried off our principal handicap, and nearly repeated her achievement a second year in succession. Now we have to record the victory of another American importation, Starke, who until to-day had never shown racing ability worthy of conside ration, but who comes and upsets the calculations of our shrewdest turf tacticians, by winning a race which the owners of English horses have for months been planning and scheming to obtain. Mr. Ten Broeck has beaten some of our best judges, literally with their own weapons ; he has sold them his horses and bought theirs, matched them, and come through in triumph. He has ridden a race against one of our most skilful amateur jockeys, and beaten him; he has pitted his judgment against that of Englishmen, whose racing experience dates from their youth, and he has now beaten them. Mr. Ten Broeck made no secret of the confidence which he placed in his.horse, and scarcely a man in the ring " missed laying," and that success, although attained by an " outsider," did not give the bookmakers a turn. The racing .which preceded and followed the Stakes presented_mo incident for comment. The day was bright and sunny.

' The horses gOt away on the first attempt, Woodburn, who was started 'to make running for Starke, going off with the lead, followed by TocheT, Melissa, Queen Bess, Heiress, and Compromise, nearly in the order named, and pretty well :laid, Queenstown and Gouvieux whipping in. They passed the Stand without any material alteration, but on nearing the turn out of the straight, Woodburn in creased hi's lead, and in pursuit of him, at clear intervals, were Tocher, Melissa, 4thiopian, and Heiress. About six lengths behind them came Gaspard, with Blue Jacket, Fern dale, and Compromise at heels, Queenstown and Gou vieux being still last. After rounding the clump, Melissa drew into the third place, and the lot were in pretty close order soon after coming into sight, with the eiception of Queenstown and Gouvieux, who were now hopelessly beaten. As they ascended the hill Melissa took up the running, followed by Tocher, Starke, and Heiress, Lifeboat, who had been lying off in the ruck, now joining the leading horses. After making the last turn, and on coming down the hill, Melissa's, leg gave way, and she dropped into the rear, leaving Blue Jacket with the4ad,'Starke tecond, in close attendance upon him, Lifeboat, Heiress, and Gaspard next. At the distance, Starke took up the running, and Lifeboat passed Blue Jacket at the enclosure, challenged " the American," but failed to get up, and was, after a fine race, beaten by half a length, Blue Jacket being six lengths from the second ; HeireSs was fourth, beaten off, Compro mise was fifth, and Gaspard sixth, close up with Heiress. Heading the next lot, all pulling up, were Miss Cath and Gouvieux. The others did not pass the post. Melissa was dismounted before reaching the stand, and far behind her came Woodburn, trotting in.

THE NATIONAL DEFENCES.' (From the Times.) When the master of many legions condescends to argue he must receive respectful attention and a considered reply. He proposes to convince instead of to compel; he subjects him Self to the common laws.of ratiocination, and he invites the . world , to deal with him as it might with an adversary whei has no weapon but the pen. Of course we should, under all circumstances, yield him every courtesy and an unprejudiced ear. But •,never . were we English more anxious to believe and more inclined to be even crediflous than we are upon the topic' which has last been handled by the Imperlal pen. Quiet enjoyment, domestic peace, freedom from taxation, security in our business transactions with each other and with the rest of the world, are all involved in the conviction which the Moniteur of Tuesday last would fix upon our minds. If we could only believe that our faithful ally and his loyal subjects are not restless' and inclined tb war, •how much better it would be for us! If we could reasonably think that national defences are things that England cannot in any probable conjuncture need, how much more happy we should be in our shops and our counting-houses, and our snug•villaS and our unfortified country, seats ! It is not willingly, nor with any pleasurable emotion that We front time to time recall the bold suggestion of a late reverend wit, and shudder at the possibility of somd mature matron in whom we may take an, interest being led away captive by an amorous. Gaul. It is not from having nothing else to. thing. of that we are sometimes surprised by the uneasy thought that we are sleeping with all our doors unlocked. although a robbery was committed. in the satne streets only a few nights ago. If we could only feel, that it is beyond the .bounds of probability that there can ever be aught but an interchange of kindly offices between us and France we should haare none of these disquietudes. We might browse together and grow fat, we might lie down and chew the cud together and ruminate into sleekness, Nothing can be more to our interest and to our comfort `than to be thoroughly convinced that we have nothing to fear from France or from . her master. To the French Emperor, therefore,' preaching in the Mom- tear, if we cannot say " Vous prechez aux convertis," we can , at least affirm that he preaches to a congre gation most anxious to become his converts. ' But confidence—as Lord Chatham said in a fatnous speech, 'and with a confusion of metaphor not uncommon with that great orator—is a plant of slow growth in an aged bosom. Old England scarcely expects to be desired for her beaux yeux alone. To absolute monarchs, who love not the licence of her free tongue, her trinkets may be rea sonably supposed to be more attractive than her beauty ; and great military authorities may be imagined sometimes to sympathise. with the late lamented Field Marshal Blucher, whoSe sole re mark upon the glOries of - the London streets was, —" Mein Gott, what a town for to sack I" Wealth always carries with it a certain `sense of distrust, and wealth conjoined with a consciousness of weak ness is apt to breed a sense of constant danger. To avoid this we must become either poor or strong, — that is to say, strong enough to resist any reason ably probable danger. Our good ally, through his official organ, invites us to believe that this danger is absoltitely of our own invention. He says that " the pretended exaggeration of his armaments is made to serve as a justification for the considera ble augmentation of the Army and Navy Esti mates of Great Britain." The Emperor then proceeds to show that during the present year England is about to spend much more for her Army and Navy than France is about spend, and suggests the conclusion that inasi much as he is making no increase upon hiS annual expenditure for soldiers and sailors; our increase cannot be justified by any con-1 tiderations of his proceedings. Alas ! that an argument launched with so benevolent a design should be so weak to do its office! If we lack the faith to say " Credo quia impossible," we cannot, in common sense, affect to be comforted by this faulty reasoning. Any Oxford under-graduate could point out and name the special fault of this halt ing syllogism. The question is not a question of estimates, nor even of cost. Constitutional Govern.: ments must act by persuasion, and the instrument to persuasion is money. What sum can we put against the conscription ? How are we to estimate in money the powers possessed by the French Em peror and forbidden to our Queen ? To judge of the question thus proposed we must look, not at the money spent, but the results obtained. The French have an army of 400,000 men, ready for any enterprise. We have an army of 110,000 ready for no enterprise except to defend our own homesteads. This is a not unimportant fact, but,we do not rest upon it as any reason for suspicion. France is surrounded by great military monarchies ; it is natural for her to be strong in a land force, and the mere circumstance of her maintaining herself at a point of strength sufficient to repel either a single or a combined attack from her military neighbours should be no necessary cause of jealousy to us. Loyal and unsuspecting in friendship—as England is while England can be,—we are rather pleased than chagrined to see France powerful. While we act together as the guardians of order and the friends of civilisation, her power is our power, and her prosperity, is our strength. • But what mean these sounds of naval preparation ? Why are these • ships so rapidly launched, and so hurriedly fitted with rifled cannon ? Why are the dockyards of France so busy, and the arsenals working with such sustained energy ? The exigencies which compel France to keep up a land force disproportionate to that of England compel England to keep up a naval force disproportionate to that of France. 'England maintains her existence upon conditions which to France are unknown. This little island is but the heart of our great empire. Our power must pulsate in every quarter of the world, or the empire must die. It is by our ships that our volition passes to the members of our body politic, and it is to us a chronic necessity that great fleets should be always occupied at a distance from our shores. As com pared with France, our Navy can only be estimated by our Channel Fleet. What does France want with a fleet greater than that which England has at home ? We have been told, and sometimes in official documents, that the honour of France re quires a great naval armament, not to control Austria, not to hold her own upon the waters with Russia, not to curb the turbulence of Spain, not to reach distant America—but to contest with Eng land the sovereignty of the seas. What does this phrase mean ? It is not the language of c onfidence and friendship ; it is not even the language of truth. England . neither has nor claims the sovereignty of the seas. She is obl i g ed to maket felt, in distant parts by means' of her ships, h . at power which France manifests in less distant I parts by means of her arm "4 But she claims S'r 1) P ..ICE . ; JO! 5. . . ) , I only for' herself what she willingly accordsto 'all the world--equality and security. What country suspects England,, who has opened .her ports and her commerce to all nations, of any desire to force the shiph' of other countries him the' • seas; or to interfere'fir any yvay except for 'the protection of the COME4O.I rights -of civilisation? ,This sovereignty of the seaSisninch more a nightmare than any dis quieting.lththights• of invasion of this island. All our acts in' China, all.outlegislation at home, deny more forcibly than any phrases could deny any such pretensions on Our part, or any wish to acquire ground for such pretensions. Again, then, we ask, what mean these sounds of ham Mering, 'these for tified harbours,. these aggravated nava l armaments? Itins'B us k, Who has labbiqously compiled the statistics of " the Navies of the World;" inhis re ,cent.book under this title, tells us that he_ speaks of the French Navy fro.n actual inspection,, and' enmmerates its'fiirce at 449 vessels, whereof 265 are; steamships .of war, , Carrying - . 000 guns.. , surely we may ask without an imper,tinent cjujosity.wliat need'there is that this mighfy armament should be afthis Moment 'thought so insufficient that ever-' getic measures are' required to reinforce it If we except England and America, it could destroy all the fleets' of the world combined. Concentrated for any: purpose 'of offence - •to . F,ngland, she' . has nothing:to op`pose to 'it at short inotieel buther Channel Fleet- 'that French fleet,.so vastly supe rior to Ours, is a great menace. The tmperor may interiefor 'it nothing but - the 'most peaceful or the most distant labours; ; while. he:assures ,us that this is so we are bound to believe, as far as we can,' that the fact is as'affirms it. It is nothing to say that if all the ships of 'the English navy were collected in thephannel:We could match this great fleet ; would be as apposite to say that if Gibraltar - Wel-o'lU' PortAinontli no further fortifications at that place. 'The fleets of England never can be ; all at home, and- any fcaleula-. don of any equality, of naval force between Eng-. land and France must necessarily . excludnall . that part of the English NaVy which 'mist now,. and :at all times, be present in our , distant possessions. These are the facts. Not only has France at full command," and within 25 miles of our shores, 400,000 men, with 'the African Zouaves - and Turces within hail, but she is also straining .every nerve to create a fleet which, if bidught to bear upon our home 'waters • at an • unexpected - moment, would enable her to throw a large portion of this great land force upon our shores. We hu m bly su b m i t to our powerful neighbour that these are circum stances which are calculated to inspire some dis quietude even in the most trusting minds. We can= not think that the - statement in the Moniteur, to the effect that the preparations 'of Fran have not been the occasion of our increased armaments and our increased taxation, is borne -out by. the .facts which we have now submitted. Of course it is with much heSitation that we venture to controvert an article proceeding from such highunthority.. It • is hard not to be allowed even to doubt, but we have correctly' stated 'Our position, 'aria we have only to believe absolutely,' and to - - take one Inba ,sures.for.additional precaution with ali reasonable promptitude. .

We see in it natural elements of strength that may defy any enemy from without or traitor within. Tt is not the Army that we trust, or the Navy,• or the Departments, or the' Government altogether, or the nobility, or the middle classes, or the yeomanry, or the peasantry, or the religious, or the patriotic, or the national feeling, or Norman pride or Saxon independence, or public opinion, or gentlemanly feeling, or anything usually supposed to constitute the real pluck of the old British lion. All these grand qualities • are so alloyed and dis guised that we would. rather leave to more partial pens the task of proving their influence. We point triumphantly, not to the ships which are at Ports mouth, and the fortifications which are not at Woolwich ; not to Rifle Corps which are Rot 'any where that we know of, nor to Armstrong guns, which are not yet made; but to the strongholds of British corruption—Ashburton, and Wakefield; and Huddersfieki, and Dartmouth. : Is not it fairy land ? Is not it Prince Arthur and Merlin over again ? Show us a country where such candidates, such agents, such electors, such electors' wives, are things of everyday occurrence, and we will show you one that may 'defy all the world. The men who Will throw untold notes' and sovereigns into an open drawer in a committee-room,where all sorts of people are coming and going, helping ,themselvs, stuffing notes into envelopes, and filling their pockets with sovereigns as a schoolboy does with nuts; just . fOr the pleasure of tackin.. " M.P." to their names for a couple of years, won't sneak out of the way in the event of an invasion. They will throw them selves into the gap, as they do 'into the front parlour of a publichouse, when they know . the doings going on in the back parlour. They 'won't count their money Or the. drops 'of life blood. Be the way smooth or rough', they will ; go through it; be the obstacle moral or physical, they will go slap at it. Perha l ps it will'seem even more of a. para dox to express much reliance on the patriotism of the gentlemen, sometimes with various names, who are always appearing at a pinch ,to release one elector from a creditor, another from a bill of sale, another from hiS landlord ; but let it be considered that human affairs want ready instruments, and here they are ready, enough, in all conscience. But observe; on the one 'side, the plausibie exterior, on the other the nervous reality. The plausible exte rior is the "appeal to the country," the virtues of a £lO househoulder, the solemn decision" Of Ashbur ton, or Wakefield, or Dartmouth, or Huddersfield, and the official auditor's return of Election gx pensessay; £53 7s. 21d. This is the outside. This is the British Constitution as it appears in books, and as it supplies a 'model 'to .all nations, and as it forms the basis for continual im provement. The nerVous reality is the notorious under Standing that at any one' of these' places last - April an elector might by judicious manage ment obtain for his vote at least £5O. To which of these shall we trust the defence of the island ? We are ashamed to write it, but the truth must be ' spoken •, we would rather trust our lives to these political desperadoes, buying and selling votes, and t. committing all sorts of offences against the Cons 1- t w u i t s i h on te ,hthbaanlletto-betxheteebnelitghleiteennelyd medium m emen who between an H o use of Commons.

W e de plore the. loss of two such men to the Liberal side of the house, even while we are forced 'tO admit that, no doubt, through being novices in the art, their friends have rather overdone the thing in the way of bribery. Indeed, the doings, at both these places were exceedingly strong—stronger, wethink, at the larger constituen2y than at the smaller. Why should Ashburton be disfranchised for her Tozer, when Wakefield eau boast her Wainwright, h er Hinchcliff, her Jeffries, ali as Noble, and their lady coadjutors There is a noble however, in the story of bb As urton. There appears to be a wish to reduce the er 0. • of the drama to personages to the fewest possible. Only 180 voted, ninety against ninety, and everything turned man who had been theobjecton one of rival . .atten tions ever since the first threat of a dissolution. The vii IA tate gratis who presented himself, or rather was let down by a machine, to settle the angry strife which had riven the borough of Ash burton, was a remarkable character.

It is impossible to how much he will meet from both sides-by 'this management:, besides the credit to himself and :glory to the bermigh of Wakefield.' As for the politics of these two towns, we had almost forgotten them. However, to give them their due, it is evident that both Ashburton aneWakefield are naturally and spontaneously Conservative. It is painfully evident that it is only by bribery that they can become Liberal. As, in our humble opi nion, it is for the public good that they should re turn Liberal members, we are driven to the con clusion- that--they-must be either bribed-or - done away with altogether.

LORD JOILAT,RU t SSELL'S PIZUS,§X.dY 7DESPATCII. Yesteraay y, -as issued with . the Parliamentary papers' h . copy of the despatch of tlie 2'2d ultimo from Lord John Russell to Lord Bloomfield. A translation of it was published in all. the English newspapers . a few days ago, and, 'having been obtainkfinva very - :roundabout way, was spoken of by. the .Foreign, Minister in the House of Commons as containing inaccuracies. The original is .as follows : Fortign,office, June 22. My Lord,—Her Majesty Government observes, with great , concern, a disposition in Germany to take Part in-the war which lath broken out between France and.; Sardinia on the one side and Austria on the other. • Upon the temperate and enlightened conduct of Prussia depends, in a great measure, the solution of the question whether the present war .shall be confined,within the ,limits of Italy, or whether it shall be' extended" In the whole of Germany, and, perhaps; to other parts of Europe. The Emperor Napoleon• has declared that he has no intention of attacking Germany. It i s h o p e d and believed that th e • Prince Regent' of Prnssia will not become . a party . to an attack upon France. But it has been argued that Germany, though not assailed directly, is assailed indirectly ; that if she takes no part in the war upon the Po, she may soon have to defend herself-on the Rhine . ; that the fortresses of Austria on the Mincio and the Adige are, in fact,. the barriers' of Germany against France. 'there is much 'loose and unproved assertion in this statement. It cannot be denied that the war between Aus tria and Sardinia ,is a war arcing (perhaps inevi tably) from the condition of Italy. For a long period after 1815, Austria exercised a virtual supremacy over the States of Italy ; of - late years Sardinia has favoured and fostered the Italian pas sion for independence. Count Baol, - when asked by Lord Augustus Loftui to give= an assurance that in no case would Austria move a. soldier across the frontier in. Italy without previous concert with France, replied ,in these terms .—" No ; I cannot give you that assur ance, for it would be a surrender of our sovereign power. - We shall not interfere in any State unless our aid is' asked for, any in that case it will be granted, an d th e k now l e d ge t h at i t w i ll be granted is the . best preservative of order." Thus Austria would not recede from her claim of a right , of interference, when asked for, nor Sardinia renounce her pretensions to represent. the sorrows . and aSpirations of Italy. Rut, unable to carry on such a contest alone, the King of Sardinia has asked and obtained the aid.of the Emperor of the French. We are not now speaking of the immediate origin of the war: thy predecessor has fully explained the views of her • Majesty upon this snbjeCt. It is plain, however, from the • statement I have made, that cause of war existed in the opposlt?, pretensions of Austria and Sardinia. It is with no view to Germany that this war has arisen. . The assertion that France, successful on the Po and on the Brenta, will become aggressive on the Rhine is an arbitrary' assumption ; but the mighty question of involving the continent in War ought not to be decided on the ground of vague supposi tions and exaggerated apprehensiOns. Neither Can it be argued that the fortresses on the Mincio and the Adige are the barriers of Ger many. It must be borne in mind that the fortresses of Peschiera, Verotea,`and Mantua' formed no part of the ancient confines of Germany ; on the contrary, the country from Verona to the Adriatic formed, iu 1792, part of a weak, unwarlike, and decaying Italian state. The utmost that can be said is, that while many Germans consider these fortresses as a barrier for Germany, many Italians consider them as not a little menacing for Italy. The . treaty of peace must decide their future fate. While ,these reasons for war on the part of Ger man states 'are manifestly insufficient, they are strong arguments against a course so precipitate. The Prince Regent of Prussia will, in his wisdom, Por dni the in weigh the impolicy of exposing his co un t ry to b e . c o o f n l s t i a d l e y. red I t t he can ch n am ot pi b o e n ' n o e l* e t e h s e sa m ry al i s s e t e r u at r i i o ty n' , of Berlin and Magdeburg that misgovernment should prevail at Milan and Bologna. But in the minds of the Italians, Prussia, appearing in arms by the side of Austria, would be considered the de fender of all that Austria has done, and all she has permitted. There is another consideration of the utmost im portance. Hitherto there has been • little excite ment on the subject of the war in krance. When the question of superiority in the field has been decided, the two great powers engaged will probably be very willing to put an end to the ex hausting struggle. But if France is roused to the defence of her own territory by the aggression of Germany, it is impossible to say to what degree the passions of a national animosity may be in flamed, nor for how long a period the continent of Europe may suffer the calamities of war. You have been duly informed of the determina tion of her Majesty, supported by the unanimous sonse of her people, to maintain a strict neutrality. Her Majesty has kept this country 'free from all engagements which might restrain h er f ree d om o f an soo y n lvil , action. It is the hope of her Majesty's Government that Prussia will adopt a course as 'nearly as the may come, circumstances ps ye perh ; a of Germany of conciliatory and fr iendly powers • l he p n erni the it. t A voice • will be heard with effect, and arguments in favour • o f peace will be no longer unavailing. You will read this de s p a t c h to Raroi Schleinitz, and give him a copy. ---I am, &c ., (Signed) J., RUSSELL.
