LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 25, 1860. It is now certain that the young REITOBOAM of Naples has gone on his knees to the King of SAR DINIA. The POPE'S blessing will no longer avail ; the heretic alone can save him from GARIBALDI ; and so, to the excommunicated VICTOR EMMANUEL, the most faithful of the Sons of the Church is obliged to turn. We hope, however, the excommunicated King neither will deliver, nor that he can if he would. He has sent his adjutant to GARIBALDI, Lord JOHN RUSSELL tells us, on the authority of the Neapolitan Minister in London. But we may remember that [in Sicily GARIBALDI is not yet subject to the King of SARDINIA ; we may also remember that he has objected to immediate an nexation, on the very ground that his policy being Italian, he would be embarrassed by separating the cause of Sicily from that of the mainland. It may be well, diplomatically wise perhaps, for the King of SARDINIA to keep up appearances with the man who is still formally King of NAPLES. But a living messenger can carry unofficial as well as official messages, and we may hope that the KING'S personal opinion, and his diplomatic repre sentations, will clash considerably ; and GARI BALDI is not the man to shrink from assuming respon3ibility. It would, indeed, be most disastrous for the future of Italy if her WASHINGTON were not suffered to work out his own plans. We can but believe that he has the entire and well merited confidence of the King of SARDINIA, and that that Monarch will not authoritatively interfere with the proceedings of the noblest of his subjects. He trusts Count CAVOUR, too, as a diplomatist; but the KING, him'self " a soldier every inch of him," must have far more sympathy with the deeds of GARI BALDI than with the despatches of CAvouß. All Europe would confess that he ought to have; GARIBA:LDI has shown a most rare combination of qualities more frequently separated. To an enthu siasm for Italian liberties which nothing can sup• press, be unites the almost cool-headeness, and with unusual moderation, gentleness, and kindness, he possesses beyond doubt the greatest courage and firmness. His dimissal of a man of LA FARINA'S standing from Sicily, because he 'obstructed his policy of Italian union, and advocated the NAPO LEON-.CAVOIIR policy of a Confederation, showed as much moral courage and firmness as his behaviour at Palermo did of the more common physical quality. We will still hope, therefore, that GARIBALDI will take his own course. If he do, we may safely predict that the young BOURBON will soon be packin g up his valuables. The Bombarder of Palermo, the murder er of hundreds of his own subjects there, has already„ to "prevent bloodshed," withdrawn his troops _from Messina and the adjacent fortresses. It was, ,doubtless, very wise mercy. Messina is not a place ito be taken in a day or a week, even by Cl ii AltißAß.,Di, if defended by determined soldiers. ended by men, the great majority of whom would GARIBALDI for their commander, and his call to their own, there could be no question about the necessity of recalling them. And yet we ma: F well ask, for what purpose To hand over the capital to GARIBALDI as soon as he presents himself' at its gates? That is undoubtedly the meaning of the petition to the hated King of SARDMIA to " Stop GARIBALDI." If soldiers could (lo it the King has new plenty of them— probab ly not many short of eighty or one hundred thousal Id now that they are all collected together; but wit h the exception of a minority of mercenary ruffians the army prefers the Hero of Palermo to the cruel young coward who employs them chiefly against citizens. And then the whole population is utterly weary of their King, and justly distrust- lie has no ful of any promises he can make, guarantees to give, which they can none, we hope, which they will, accept. We await therefore, with eagerness and with hope, the next week or fortnight's news. We trust that the Italians in Naples, as in the Duchies, will give Louis NAPOLEON'S confederation scheme to the winds—that Naples and the Roman States will soon be united with the North of Italy—that the Quadrangle will soon follow—that a united Italy will laugh at all Dictators of the Tuileries—and that the record of history for the year will be that GARIBALDI, by his skill, single-mindedness, and boldness, brought to nought the counsels of the Imperial ACHITOPHEL. Is the Empire weak or strong ? If " twenty legions" are strength, the question is soon answered. But if we ask what is the nature of the strength which trembles before the fairest discussion, we must hesitate for an answer. Perhaps we should give two answers, according as the question referred to foreign or domestic affairs. So long as France can be made to consider it her chief glory to win battles against old empires, and to fix her own natural boundaries in defiance of European settlements, the Empire is strong. A loan of £20,000,000 can be raised, and the national debt increased to any extent, if it all shall bring glory to France. 'The Empire is strong if it can find a series of pretexts for displaying in any way the continental supremacy of France. Already she boasts, as a stalwart garotter could do, that take any power singly, and she could beat it ; that she could only be beaten, as most rogues are beaten, by a combination of the honest. Of course with an army and navy so powerful for attack on its neigh• bours, the Empire is strong if attacked by them. The sum is, the Empire is strong if its resources are required for defence, or for " glorious aggression." But in the other view of the question " The Em pire" seems to be weakness itself. It has no confi dence in its policy or its measures. It can tolerate scurrilous abuse, even, perhaps, evoke it intention- ally, the effect being in France as elsewhere, that the abused are the gainers in the sentiments, if not in the deliberate judgment, of all respectable persons. It can of course accept advocacy, the only tike-off in Paris being that the flattery is apt to be too transparent, and occasionally blundering. What it cannot sustain is the criticism of inde pendent men, who respect themselves and their cause too much to descend to scurrility, but who are quite competent to pronounce a just judgment on the general policy and the particular measures of their Government. How can a Government be called strong which dares not face the remarks of such men. It may be able to fight the world, but quails before its own subjects. It could laugh at, could profit by threats from England or any Con tinental Power, but it cowers when an intelligeht man of reputation says—l propose, in a journa have purchased, to shew that you are right when you are right, and that you are wrong when you are wrong. Our readers will at once see that we refer to the remarkable affair which now forms the subject of so much discussion in Paris, and which may yet come before the French Courts of Law. There can be no doubt that the French Minister of the In terior, M. BILLAULT, has committed the Empire to a statement which will so little bear the light, that the President of tha Council has publicly denied it , on the ground that it was too " stupid" to be made by a person of such intelligence as the Minister ! It is, however, the stupidity of truth. Two galling facts are incontrovertible ; that M. BILLAULT did hold the language with which he is charged ; and that he did so because he had nothing else to say. He could not face the criticisms of the proposed journal, and yet he was compelled to own that his fear was their moderate and respectable character. We may briefly recapitulate the principal facts. The Courier de Paris was in the market. M. GUERARD desired to sell it, for the very excellent reason that he was losing money by it. M. LEY MARIE wished to purchase it, and did so, seemingly thinking that by gathering together able writers for it, he could make it pay. According to the law of our enlightened neighbour country no one can undertake the management or editorship of a journal without the authorisation of the Go vernment. This M. LEYMARIE, in his simpli city, had taken to be a matter of course, as a journal is valuable property, and he had in this case paid a bona fide consideration for it. He applied accordingly to the head of that depart ment. M. DE LA GUERONIERE, and, surprised at the delay, sought a personal interview; but the subordinate, after trying to evade by vague gene ralities, wished him to see the Minister of the Interior. He obtains an interview with his Excellency M. BILLAULT. " SO, it is an Opposition paper you wish to establish ?" M. LEY MARIE—" No ; if by opposition you mean a determination to—l will not say systematically—defame, but even to criticise. Yes ; if opposition means examining with independence the acts of Government." M. BILLAULT—" I will explain myself, un mistakeably. Every citizen can legitimately express through the press his thoughts on public affairs ; but it is my business to see that the administration is not disquieted, and that it is not embarrassed." M. LEYMARIE—" The study of social and political principles, carried on on principle, and without party spirit, can by no means create any danger to the State." M. BILLAULT—" No, not danger, but an embarrassment. In my opinion, an opposition paper conducted by men of note and respectability, who combined, without distinction of party, talents acknowledged and sanctioned by public favour, would by that very fact acquire a disquieting influence. The more a paper so conducted was constitutional—the .more care it took not to infringe the law—in a word, the more moderate it was the greater would be the inconvenience !" Two days afterwards M. LEY MARIE received from M. BILLAULT a curt reply, without any reasons assigned, that " his demand could not be granted !" Next, M. D'HA.USSONVILLE, a shareholder, calls on M. DE LA GITEIWNIERE, and gives the public his account of the interview in a pamphlet, in which all the details of the whole affair were made public. He drives the Door subordinate to very close quarters on the question of the power of the Minister of the Interior to annihilate by two lines of writing without a single reason, what, up to that time, was a valuable property. Adopting the views of his chief, he was compelled to maintain that " the Government must have certain indispensable guarantees before allow ing persons whom the public would feel pleasure in listening to, to discuss the general interests of the country to address it." M. D'HAUSONVILLE could not divine what securities were wanted. Modera tion was not doubted, but it was also the thing feared; as to "friendship" to the Government, the official was reminded of facts in 1852 which pro. eluded the possibility of that ; and the conversation closed with a promise that it should be communi cated by the subordinate to his chief, with an inti• Illation that.M. D'HAUSSONVILLE was at the service of the latter at any time. Some days passed over ; and the strange state- THE SUN, WINDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, - JULY 25, 1860. meat of M. BILLAULT was then brought under the notice of the Council of State by M. EXILE OLLI TIER, one of the deputies of Paris. It was on this occasion that M. BAROCHE, the President, deemed it self-contradictory on account of its " stupidity." But M. DE LA GUERONIERE, himself a councillor, did not venture a denial. The Mont teur published the debate. M. LEYMARIE then availed himself of a press law, which requires any journal which has "indicated" an individual, to allow him fair space to defend himself, and sent round a letter, in legal form, demanding its inser tion. The Ministers sent round an order to the papers not to publish the letter, and now M. LEYMARIE has no means of bringing the matter to a public issue but that of prosecuting the news papers for not inserting the letter in accordance with the law; when, of course, their plea will be that they were ordered not to do it. So now stands this precious business. And, any thing more humiliating to an " Empire," most of our readers will think it is hardly possible to con ceive. It is an open confession that all genius and talent must either enlist itself amongst the corps of Imperial laureates, or be silent. France is fond of classical examples; she will surely think of none so appropriate as the description of the reign of DOMITIAN by the inimitable historian of the deeds of AGRICOLA. Can such repression last ? Is so great a people—for a great people after all the French are—so degraded that it will submit to the compulsory silence of all its most able men, and see none but flatterers or revilers allowed towrite ? The noblest instinets of our nature demand that the doc trine of M. BILLAULT should be to the empire the handwriting on the wall. It is a confession that, weighed in the balances of talent and impar tiality, it is found wanting. COLNEY HATCH LUNATIC ASYLUM: Yesterday the patients at the Colney Hatch Lunatic , Asylum were regaled with their summer treat, in the grounds, which has now become of annual observance ; and any one who witnessed their enjoyment yesterday will well understand how it affords them matter for pleasant recollection during the curren t year, and equally pleasant anticipations for the next. For it must be remembered that by far the most of the cases in this Asylum are cases of chronic lunacy (of various degrees of intensity), which it is not likely that a few months will bring to an end. In such cases variety of occupation, harmless diversions, and pleasant pastimes, particularly out of doors, when the weather permits, is in a high degree beneficial. Yesterday the weather, notwithstanding its threatening aspect, held up wonderfully during the time allotted for the entertainment, which commenced at four and termi nated at about eight o'clock. The patients who were able to attend, about 550 women and 200 men, went in proces sion from the centre of the building, accompanied by the band of the Royal Artillery, to a large field adjoining, which was decked with flags and provided with refresh ment booths—two for the patients, at the expense of the asylum, and one for the public. Various games, such as Aunt Sally, the sticks, cricket, &c., occupied the men; drop the handkerchief, and other feminine amusements, engaged the attention of the women, while a few of each sex joined together in the more accomplished and elegant diversion of dancing. Quadrilles, polkas, and waltzes were very creditably performed. The patients and their attendants seemed to vie with each other in good humour and merriment, showing one of the advan tageous effects of the modern system of the mild treatment of lunatics. Several of the magistrates were on the ground, and entered heartily into the spirit of the scene. There was also a large attendance of ladies and gentlemen, attracted by the interesting character of the fete, to whom admis 6ion was given by tickets from the magistrates. We must not omit to notice a small bazaar, or fancy fair, presided over by the matrons of the asylum, at which were exhibited and sold various articles of fancy needlework—specimens of P the industry of the patients. Yesterday morning the remains of Lord Elphin stone were deposited in the Catacombs, near Godstone, Surrey, in the presence of a numerous circle of relatives and friends. The inscription plate bore the following : John, 13th Baron Elphinstone, in the peerage of Scotland, and Baron Elphinstone in that of the United Kingdom, G.C.8., G.C.H., and P.C. ; Governor of Madras, 1837 ; Governor of Bombay, 1853 ; born June 23, 1807 ; died July 19, 1860. Whatever may have been the opinion in the House of Commons on Monday night as to the possibility of the speech of Lord Palmerston producing panic, it has had no effect of that kind in the city, where his reasoning and statements have been simply regarded as a dignified expression of the thoughts which for two or three years past have occupied the mind of every prudent man. The stock market opened with a decided tendency to firmness, and the general transactions of the day were at an advance. Consols for money, which left off yesterday at 93 to a, were first quoted 938, and soon improved to 93/. They then fluctuated between 93 and 93, 1 and the final price, notwith • standing the heavy decline at Paris, was 938. For the ac count the latest bargains were at 938. The French tele grams clamouring for " revenge" in Syria failed to have so much effect as might have been anticipated, in consequence of the reported pacification between the hostile tribes; and the news of the evacuation of Sicily by the Neapolitan truops was regarded favourably. —Times' City Article. THE GREAT EASTERN AT NEW YORK.—By the arrival of the Europa we learn that the price of admission to view the Great Ship has been reduced to 50c. on the seventh day of exhibition. On the previous six days the admission was 100 c. (1 dol.), and the average number of visitors was a trifle under 2,000 per day. The reduc tion in the price of admission to half a dollar has been followed by a considerable increase in the visitors, the total number for the last three days (9th, 10th, and 11th) being 11,682. Arrangements have been made by the directors who accompanied the ship to secure the services of Mr. Jarret, an active and expe rienced showman, who will undertake the work of organis ing excursion trains, and taking the necessary steps for stimulating the curiosity of American sightseers. Short trips to sea in the Great Eastern are being arranged for and will shortly take place. The total receipts for the exhibition of the ship in nine days have amounted to about £2,500. The precise sum is not known by the board in London, as the return of the number of visitors for two of the days has not yet been received. THE DISGRACEFUL OUTRAGES AT ST. GEORGE'S IN-THE-EAST.—Yesterday evening a public meeting of the inhabitants of St. George's-in-the-East was held in the school house, Ratcliff-highway, in reference to the present state of the parish. Mr. Stevens, a member of the vestry, took the chair. He said, with evident satisfaction, that he had heard the first sermon, upwards of 18 years ago, that the Rev. Bryan King had preached in their church, and the last sermon he would ever preach there, two Sundays ago. He congratulated the meeting upon the success of the agitation, and talked, in a strain of gross ignorance, of " sound Protestant principles," telling the people who listened to him that it was "their indfea sible right to worship in their parish church according to the form and manner prescribed in the Book of Common Prayer." Alluding to the case of Rosier, the speaker de clared that Mr. Elliott, the presiding magistrate at the police court, had misstated the law in fining Rosier £3, who against this " most monstrous decision" had appealed to quarter sessions. A committee was appointed to take the necessary steps to raise a " Protestant Defenca Fend," in order " to resist the machinations of Puseyite intriguers in the courts of law." It was also agreed that an appeal should be made to Protestants throughout the kingdom to aid them in their efforts to vindicate the Protestant re formed faith and stop the progress of heresy in the Church of England. A vote of thanks to the chairman for presiding closed t he proceedings. VERDICT FOR MR, J. 0. LEVER.—The great record of "Harnett v. Lever," the trial of which occupied three days, and excited considerable interest, terminated on Friday evening in a verdict for the defendant. The plaintiff was a passenger on board the Indian Empire, and tho action was brought to recover damages, laid at £2,000, for breach of contract, work and labour, and alleged ill treatment during a voyage of 35 days from New York to Ireland. It will be remembered that the vessel encoun tered very tempestuous weather, and with great difficulty reached land. The jury brought in a verdict substantially for the defendant on all the issues, and accompanied the finding with strong observations, exonerating the captain and officers of the ship from imputations which had been attempted to be cast upon them by the plaintiff. As affect ing the character of the Galway line, the trial was regarded as one of great importance, and the result has afforded the utmost satisfaction to the friends of the Atlantic Company. PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about per mille pm., and the short exchange on London is 25•121 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is rather more than 2-10ths per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 423 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.48 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is therefore nearly 1 -1 0th per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of ex change at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1091 to 110 per cent., which, when compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the ex change is in favour of England ; but, after making allow ancefor charges of transport and difference of interest, the present rate leaves a small profit on the importation of gold from the United States. DAYS OF GRACE.—It is the common practice, we know, for insurance offices to allow so many days of grace for the payment of the premiums, after they have become actually due, Supposing, then, that Mr. Blank, having effected his insurance, were to die within the days of gassee, but before payment of the premium, what would be the consequence ? It is a momentous consideration, and unfortunately has never received any direct judicial decision. We have, however, the dictum of Mr. Justice Willes on this point, given casually in a case when it was not absolutely necessary that he should allude to it; and we shall do well to weigh his t w h o e rd e s .on e d a it r i e o f n uli hn — act `: p o L3l n id should (he w was se speakingvoid iif the f premiums were , within thirty days) " there is a question which parties would do wisel y not to raise : whe ther that condition has reference only to a policy for future years, or whether, if the premium be paid after it is due, and within such limited time, the executor can recover if the life dies within such days of grace. I think that then thirty days are only with reference to the insurance of the life for future years. I think the office is bound to receive the premium within the thirty days, and to go on insuring for future years ii tlee person assured is still alive, but that they are not bound to do eo after his death." It will be well, then, we may infer, for Mr. l lank to pay his premiums pullet:may, and not to compel his executore to raise this W.l4o4oll.—DieTana's " 4?1 the Year Rocral." LA EST NE W The following telegrams have been reeeiTed at Mr. Reuter's office : TOPLITZ, JULY 25. Baron Von Werther, the Prussian Ambassador at Vienna, arrived here yesterday evening at the same time as the Emperor of Austria. The Austrian Ambassadors, at Berlin and Dres den, have also arrived. PARIS, JULY 24. The Porte has instructed its Ambassadors at Paris and London to officially communicate to the Courts of the Tuileries and St. James's the conclu sion of peace between the Druses and Maronites on the 10th inst. In the official communication the Porte, although expressing its satisfaction at this happy event, adds, that it will, nevertheless, pursue with the utmost rigour the authors of the recent massacres, and that Fuad Pasha had to that end been invested with the most ample powers, not only to punish the guilty parties, but also to take such measures as would prevent the recurrence of fresh conflicts between the Druses and the Maronites. MARSEILLES, JULY 24. Letters from Naples to the 21st inst. announce that Garibaldi had left Palermo with from 8,000 to 10,000 volunteers. It was expected that Garibaldi would soon effect a landing on the continent. The chiefs of the revolutionary movement at Naples had caused an illumination of the whole city to take place. Crowds of people shouted " Garibaldi for ever," in defiance of the Royalists. VIENNA, TUESDAY, JULY 24 The Emperor left at 2 o'clock this morning for Toplitz, accompanied by Count Rechberg, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and the First Adju- ,ant-General. Count Rechberg was accompanied by M. von Biegeleben, Minister-Councillor. TOPLITZ, TUESDAY, JULY 24. The Emperor of Austria arrived here at 4 p.m. to-day, and was received with royal honours. The Austrian, Bohemian, Prussian, Saxon, and Bavarian flags had been hoisted on the public buildings. TIERNE, JULY 24, The Federal Council has received information that the Conferences on the neutrality of Switzer land will be indefinitely adjourned, as Austria ab solutely refuses to take part in a Conference should Sardinia be admitted thereto.

(From the Boston Courier.) Notwithstanding the two wars and the constancy of the abuse of Americans and the institutions of America by the press of England, there is still a " fellow-feeling'' between the tw© nations. Jonathan is too mighty a man to be affected by diatribes of the cockneys of London, and although he often suffers himself to be irritated, upon reflec tion he owns that he likes England. The following corre spondence interprets the true sentiments of America and England : " PRESIDENT BUCHANAN TO QUEEN VICTORIA. "To her Majesty Queen Victoria, —I have learned from the public journals that the Prince of Wales is about to visit your Majesty's North American dominions. Should it be the intention of his royal highness to extend his visit to the United States I need not say how happy I should be to give him a cordial welcome to Washington. You may be well assured that everywhere in this country he will be greeted by the American people in such a manner as can not fail to prove gratifying to your Majesty. In this they will manifest their deep sense of your domestic virtues as well as their convictions of your merits as a wise, patriotic, and constitutional sovereign.

He will thus be able, at the same time, to mark the respect which he entertaiis for the chief magis trate of a m eat and friendly state and kindred nation.

HARVEST PROSPECTS ON THE CONTINENT.—The latest accounts received by the Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, as to the appearance of the growing crops in France, favour the hope of a good average year. Ther e i s one remarkable fact to be observed, which is, that e ver y crop is g oo d o f it s kind—corn, hay , the vines, and all de scriptions of fruit. The accounts from the seaports on the Baltic are not favourable. The reports from Italy generally are good, with the exception of those from Naples. The accounts from Spain are favourable, except those from Cata louia, _High. Church,. 2 vols. Hurst and Blackett. This is in many respects a work of power and ability. There is some degree of originality in the plot, vigour in the style, and interest in the charac ters ; and there is, moreover, what is rarely found in controversial novels, a tone of candour, modera tion, and fairness to opponents seldom met with either in life or literature. The story is founded, as may be supposed from its title, on those un happy revivals of extinct forms and obsolete cere monies which have of late years occasioned so much dissension in the national church. The author's convictions are evidently strongly opposed to the system, but he has not attempted to discuss or dilate upon the theological or ecclesiastical sub tleties of the question. He has abandoned the usual battle-field of accusation and retort, and contents himself with drawing a forcible picture of a parish town embittered by eccle siastical broils, and disgraced by riots and con tentions in the sacred precincts. He shows us the misery brought into one or two families divided by the rival factions, and thus practically puts the question to the common sense and right feeling of all conscientious persons, whether it can be the duty of a Christian minister to bring about these great evils in his parish, for the sake of resus citating outward observances, which, in their own day, were devised for the purpose of encouraging reverence and devotion, and were assuredly never intended to produce those scenes of strife and riot which have lately disgraced our metropolis. The author's strong point is the libe rality with which he treats his opponents. The offending curate himself, Mr. Geoffrey Stone, is possessed of many admirable qualities, and secures a large share both of the interest and re spect of the reader, notwithstanding the in flexibility of his temper. He is a high-minded and conscientious man, sincerely devoted to his pro fession, and, as he needed to be, physically as well as morally brave. His error is that of many other good men, namely, an obstinate conviction that no way is right but his own. " The Rev. Geoffrey Stone was one who sought to do good, strengthen the weak, and lead sinners to repentance—but then he would do good, strengthen, and support, only in his own way. In his heart, though he m ight not have acknowledged it, there was no other method to extend the power of the Church, and inci ease the number of its servants, save that of Geoffrey Stone's. He had fathomed the great secret, and he and his father intending to set to work earnestly in the course of Christianity, had raised their banner—a little too bright for these practical times, perhaps—from the crumbling steeple of St. Jude's." The wretched result of all his plans and projects wounded him deeply. When events had thickened, and were harrying on to the final catastrophe, he looked back with regret. In the solitude of his chamber, looking out on the stately old church so soon to crumble beneath the torch of incendiarism, " there was held before him, as by some mysterious hand, all that he, with his talents,his religious earnestness, his desire to do good, might have effected, and then rose to appall him the hideous reverse of the picture, and all the evil passions and irreverence that had grown with his persistence, and been the result of his preaching." The writer does not fall into the common error of painting one side entirely unprejudiced and blame less, and the other bigoted and intolerant. With a skill truer to life and nature, he shows us the evil extremes ,into which both parties were carried by the angry passions roused by the spirit of anta gonism. ".Pamphlets on all sides, and by all writers, proved everything but the virtue of conces sion—taught everything but peace on earth and goodwill amongst men. Shake the Church to its centre, and turn it from a house of prayer to a house wherein the devil riots and takes stock of souls, but do not budge an inch for conscience sake !" The story is full of inte rest, and though the troubles of Martin Chester and his wife date from the High and Low Church disssensions, yet the moral of the tale is of far wider application. Here, again, the author enlists our sympathies on both sides ; for the quick feeling, impulsive wife, whose impressionable nature and deep religious convictions render her so warm and constant a supporter of the Tractarian innovations, and for the high-minded conscientious husband,who is justly incensed by his wife's opposition to his wishes and deference to a man he dislikes. Both are greatly to blame in the final quarrel—Martin for his unjust suspicions and severity, and Ads for her indiscretion and wilfulness. There is much painful truth in the picture of two persons of excellent intentions and high principles, possessing a warm affection for each other, gradually, through a series of misunderstand ings and mistaken actions, arriving at open rup ture. We leave the reader to learn the sequel from the work itself, in which the interest is sustained with great ability. The story of the murder is very cleverly managed, the deception about Samuel Buries being kept up to the last. We could have wished for a brighter ending, but it serves to point the moral the more forcibly. It shows us not only the dangers of Tractarianism, and the evils of parochial discensions, but the sorrows awaiting stern and unforgiving natures, the bitter regret and remorse that shall attend those who suffer pride and self-will to render them deaf to the voice of affection. Many of the characters are vigorously drawn, and the work is altogether one of remark able promise. Curiosities of .Natural _History. Second Series. By Francis S. Buckland, M.A. Bentley. The success of his first series, which we are happy to say has reached its fifth thousand, has induced Mr. Buckland to present number two to the public, and as the present volume is in no way inferior to its predecessor, we may con fidently look forward to the appearance of other members of this interesting family. As in the Wizard's book, the professor of the black art can at will display on each succeeding page a grisly skeleton or grinning clown, so is it optional for the reader of these pages to select a series of amusing anecdotes or scientific researches, or to combine amusement and instruction at one time. The author does not profess to go deep into any subject, but as Peter Parley's tales first sow the seeds of a desire for information in the child's mind, so do these sketches produce in the matured inte lect a thirst for a more complete investigation of the wonders of creation. The following extract may help to solve some of the mystery connected with strange beasts and demons supposed to exist in olden times : "I fancy I have discovered, as a pendant to Cheirothe rium,' above mentioned, a remarkable creature which ex ists in our own time, and its habitat is somewhere in Lon don. During last winter, I frequently observed in the London streets, when the pavement was covered with snow, or with mud that would easily take impressions, foot-marks of a very remarkable and puzzling kink. A creature wearing a human hob-nailed boot had eviden t ly passed Tong, but the creature had not left the spoor,' or track of an ordinary man, for the iron-shod heel was sepa rated some two feet from the equally well armed toe, and the interspace between them was not marked with any pression, so that the animal could not have had a sole to his foot. In its journeyings, strange to say, it had invariably walked backwards ; the turning up of the mud at the heel showed that, moreover, it had never walked in the centre of the pavement or in the street, but always at the road-side of the pavement. For days and days I hunted this crea ture by its track, up Regent-street (it never went over the crossing), down Oxford-street, both east and west, but I never could come up with it. Its home seemed, from the track, to be somewhere in the densely populated neigh bourhood of St. Giles'. As the Cheirotherium of ancient geological days was so christened on account of the track he made, I did not see why this Pree-Adarnite animal, the beast with a hand,' should not have a modern cousin, the beast with a foot,' the true nature of both being un certain at their first discovery. I therefore christened my mysterious creature Podotherium,' or 'the beast with the foot,' a provisional name, until I could make out its real name and nature. The snow melted and the mud was nearly dried up, and I thought I should never solve the mystery as to what Podotherium was. At last, one day, after a heavy shower, I crossed the tracks very strongly and recently marked, by Wellington-street, Stand ; I fol lowed them up instantly, and found that this Mysterious creature was only a poor old cripple, who, having lost his feet, could not walk upright after the ordinary fashion of men ; he could only crawl along upon his knees, after the fashion of the monks of cld, who have worn away with their ascending knees the stone steps going to the shrine of Thomas a Becket in Canterbury Cathedral. Necessity, in Podotherium's case, had been the mother of invention. He had cut at ordinary bob -nailed boot in two, had affixed the heel part on to his knee, and the toe part on the place where the foot ought to have been; so that as he crawled along upon his knees, the heel part of course had been going foremost, giving the appearance of a man walking backwards. 'Podotheriutn ' was gaining his livlihood by selling to passers-by tin funnels, which he carried on a string round his neck, and he therefore always lie t, as his footmarks indicated, to the roadside of the pavement to solicit custom. As Cheirotherium in time was proved to be a gigantic sort of frog (whose restore " tion we may see, by my friend, Mr. Waterhouse Haw kins, at Sydenham Crystal Palace), and now is known by the name of Labyrinthodom, on account of the laby rinth-like structure of the teeth; so Podotherium' proved to be simply poor old - of Seven Dials, the tin funnel-maker. This story may seem absurd to many of my readers; but I would beg them to recollect what consternation was caused by th newspaper accounts of some mysterious footmarks in the snow in Devonshire, not very long ago. At a time when superstition swayed the minds of most men, some convulsion of nature might leave signs not to be accounted for by reag.,on, or accident might lead to the same result. It is only natural to suppose that imagination should have been called in to explain that whiclh reason could not grapple, and that that ever ready agent pro duced a monster capable of setting the investi• gations of modern uaturalists at defiance.

THAMES. , LLIGENCE.--(2'HIS DAY), COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart.) THE AGAPEMONE—JUDGMENT. His Honour this morning, in delivering judgment in this case said. In the month of June, 1848, the defendant, Henry Thomas Prince, obtained from Miss Louisa Nottidge a transfer in his own name of two sums amounting together to the sum of £5,728, 3 per Cent. Bank Annuities. This was stated eo be the whole of her remaining fortune, and her whole means of subsistence, and the defendant claims to be entitled to retain it for his own use, as a free gift obtained by him from this lady, who died intestate in the year 1858. Her brother was the plain tiff who had instituted the present suit, as her legal and personal representative, to recover the whole of her personal estate. The bill stated that the alleged gift to the defendant was obtained by misrepresentation and deception, and obtained under the influence of a'g,ross delu sion circulated concerning himself, and used by him for the purpose of obtaining her confidence in him and obtaining the transference of her Bank Stock more effectually to him, and which he obtained under the impression of such delusions and such influence. If these alle gations were sufficiently proved the defendant could not be allowed to retain the property. Whether the gift was obtained under the influence of deception or delusion it could not stand. Whether, continued his honour, the deception or delusion is temporal or spiritual is immaterial. If the gift is made under the influence of de lusion it is void. This influence and delusion is clear. There is ample evidence to show that the defendant exer cised power and undue dominion over the mind of Miss Nottidge. The evidence is clear that he assumed a false character, and in the character which he assumed he induced this lady to part with her property. It is nothing that he entertained the same delusions. He describes in his cross-examination what his delusions were, and the deceptions practised against this lady which induced her to part with her property—that he acted under the authority of God and influence of the Holy Ghost, and required a portion of her property for his service and other necessary purposes. His Honour read several extracts from the evidence produced, and observed that the law was clear on the subject, that no gift was valid by any one under the undue influence of another, and referred to the decided cases of Guardian and Ward, Solicitor and' Client ; and in France to confessor and priest, where public policy required, even in Catholic countries, that no gift whatever should be offered by the confessor or taken by the priest or the religious order to which he belongs for reli gious services. Happily the high character of the clergy in this country renders such cases as the present comparatively unknown. His Honour came to the con clusion that the transference of the bank annuities by the late Miss Louisa Nottidge to the defendant was null and void, and the plaintiff was entitled to a decree in his favour for re-•transference of the same as her legal personal repre sentative, and decreed accordingly. The rights of the sisters, or next of kin, can be disposed of afterwards. Mr. Malins, Q.C., stated that there was now only £4,557, and not £5,000, as formerly, in the bank. His Honour observed that, on the plaintiff showing the decree to the Bank, he would obtain a re-transfer of the stock, and all questions could be settled afterwards. At the conclasion of the judgment, which occupied only ten minutes in delivery, the audience expressed their appro bation of the result by a simultaneous burst of applause on leaving the court. The court was densely crowded. Several gentlemen. assembled round the doors at an early hour. POLICE INTELLIG.EN C'E-( THIS DAL) MARLBOROUGH-STREET, DISGRACEFUL BEHAVIOUR IN HTDE•IeAux.--Fredk. Bishop, a labouring man, was charged as follows Albert Jones, 510 A, said he was on duty in Hyde-park the previous day, when his attention was called to the pri soner by a nursemaid, who said the prisoner was acting in a disgraceful manner. He went to the spot pointed out by the female, and found the prisoner acting as described, two females having just passed him. He then took him into custody, Prisoner said he had nothing to say. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner was a perfect pest. no was doing all the mischief he could in ruining young per sons' minds. Committed for three months with hard labour. AN OLD OFFENDER.—Mary Welsh was charged with stealing a fowl from the shop of Mr. J. Taylor, poulterer, Little Fultanay-street, and also a piece of bacon from the shop of Mr. Henry Webber, Brewer-street. The prisoner paid Mr. Taylor a visit, and after leaving the fowl was missed by a shopman named Goodge, and on his fetching her back it was found under her shawl, as also the piece of bacon. The prisoner was then taken to the shop of Mr. Webber, when the piece of bacon was at on& missed from the board. The prisoner, who is an old offender, and wished the calse settled at once, was committed for 21 days with had labour. A TILL ROBBERY.—George Ward, a stout and powerful fellow, about 19 years of age, was brought before Yardley, charged with stealing 2s. 6d. in silver from a ttli in the Brunswick Arms beer-house, Blackwall. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Foster, the proprie' tor of the Brunswick Arms, that he and his wife had le° the bar for a short time yesterday afternoon, and upon re: entering it at opposite doors saw the prisoner coming ront_ .f e the bar with something clenched in his ha n d, an d the till wide open. Mr. Foster seized the prisoner, ani said tg him " You scoundrel, you have robbed me." The prisone r immediately put something in his mouth. Mr. Foster grasped him by the neck, and said " What h 0 you there ? " to which the prisoner answer o4 " What I have I mean to keep." Mr. Foster OP " You shall not swallow the money," and compressed throat so tightly that the thief could neither swallow an,: thing or utter a word. In this position they remained tulla s a police constable named Farling, No. 79, arrived, on whici l i the prisoner t oo k hi s h an dk erc hi e f f rom hi s pocket law, applied it to his mouth as if he was wiping it. Parling seine ( ' the handkerchief, when the prisoner withdrew it from mouth and found in it a shilling, two sixpences, and a three: penny piece, the exact amount which the prosecutor miss.' from his till.

Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner Ile a been in his custody. It was three years ago, or more. Farling said the prisoner had been in custody very re" cently for a similar offence, and was acquitted. Mr. Yardley asked the prisoner if he would plead nosil or prefer being sent to the sessions for trial. The prisoner—Settle it here at once. Mr. Yardley—Do you plead guilty or not guilty The prisoner--1 am guilty. Mr. Yardley—l convict you of larceny, and sentence V il to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

A good start was ultimately effected, Maggiore taking the lead, with Sweetsauce, Zouave, Enfield, Zitella, Seclusion, and Miss Julia showing prominently in her wake, the others running in a body so close together that even the jockeys themselves could not accurately determine their re lative positions. At the Stand enclosure Sweetsauce headed Maggiore, Zouave and Catawba being next. A very pretty race ended in favour of Sweetsauce by three lengths ; a length between the second and third ; a hoed between the third and fourth.

For both red and white qualities there was a fair, though not to say active demand, at quite Mon day's advance in the quotations. Upwards of 20,000 quarters of foreign wheat having come fresh to hand, that description of produce was lees active ; nevertheless prices were well supported. Floating cargoes were in fair requeEt, on former terms. We have to notice a slow inquiry for barley. In the qu tations, however, no change took place. Malt moved off slowly, at previous rates. There was a fair sale for oats, at very full prices. Both beans and peas were steady, and the flour trade was firm, at extreme rates, although the imports from abroad continue AItItIV.kI,S TIIIS WEEK. NV he tt.
