GRANDGUTLLOT, in the Constitutionnel, spea, again—and this time his text is indeed—La Ques• tion Ronzaine—it being nothing less than the flight of the POPE! M. GRANDOTJILLOT'S ears must be exceedingly good; he lives to be sure a little nearer Rome than we do, but he has heard, it seems, what we have as yet heard nothing of. According to our semi-official authority, there is "an extreme party which, after having counselled the POPE to follow a policy without •concessions, now advises him to take to flight without honour." Whither he is to flee we have no intimation. Gaeta, not withstanding the presence there of his dutiful son and doubtful soldiers, is rather too near GARI BALDI, whose terrible red-shirts are fast mustering at Naples. Vienna, that would be an unkindly cut of his French Protector—Avignon again, perhaps, there he would be safe enough, under the care of the eldest son of the Church—but that recals the memory of a Papal schism. However, it is useless to conjecture ; we hear of the POPE'S flight only by the aid of M. GRANDGUILLOT'S long ears, and he has only told us that the extreme party—the wicked fanatics of whom the King of SARDINIA speaks, we suppose —now counsel his HOLINESS to a dishonourable fight. We must confess we can hardly avoid reading 31. GRANDGUILLOT'S entreaties the backward way ; he begs the POPE so earnestly, for his own sake, not to go, while he insists on the disinterestedness of France in giving such advice. F rance would be so greatly relieved by your going, says he, that for her own sake she could not but rejoice to see you far, far away; but she is so concerned for the Papacy, which lies so near her heart, that she begs you not to relieve her of the burden of taking care of you. Thus, then, the argument of this Janus-like adviser runs. Your HOLINESS is safe while French troops are in Rome —the security of your person and your authority are guaranteed. But while we earnestly desire that you should not leave Rome—remember that it is the interests of the Papacy only we have at heiirt ; for " that which at present eonzplicates the position of France is the presence of her army at Rome. And if the occupation could cease all would he simplified, at least in a political point of view !!" Surely this is very much like saying to a guest, " Don't leave till it's convenient to you nevertheless, your stay certainly does put our household about a little—l have had myself for two or three nights to turn unto the sofa." We do not know how the POPE estimates the honour or dis honour of flight; but the honour of keeping the French soldiers in Rome, after their master has told him that it would make the French position lunch more easy, politically, if they were with drawn, appears to us to be of a very doubtful character. M. GRANDGUILLOT proceeds in what seems to u s, also, to be but refined taunting--" It is not Rome that tce occupy, but it is the Papacy we defend ; our occupation could in no case assume a political character." "The first consequence of the fli g ht of the PoPE would be the evacuation of Rome by the French, and in leaving we should great uneasiness respe c ti ng the future carry with US of the temporal power of the - P,-, PE. 7, Of course all this may be susceptible of another intt vPretation ; but the question is, how was it intended to strike the POPE ? At the close, to be sure, solicitude respecting, the temporal power of his Holiness is expressed, under the conditions of POPE and Fr ench soldiers equally gone. What would 1°4°3133 40t it, in that case, with GARIBALDI and his Royal Master's Generals so close at hand, is cer tainly not matter of conjecture. But what means the careful distinction between "occupying Rome" and "defending the papacy, ,, The King of SAR DINIA was told to the same effect the other day, that the mission of France at it 9 lne was a religious one ; and. now it is distinctly denied that the occu pation is, or can become of a " political character." This seems very like throwing the temporal rule of Rome and its territory, which the King Gf SAR DINIA in his memorandum distinctly offers 10 re- spect, at the feet of VICTOR EMMANUEL. It repre sents General GOTON and his men as a kind of body guard to the POPE, and sentinels over St. Peter's , and the Vatican. If the KING should come to Rome and accept an offer by the Romans of political supremacy there, why then, provided the French are there to protect the spiritual supremacy only, the latter can have no reason for interfering with he political changes. There is, as we have remarked, the ambiguous "uneasiness" about temporal rule in the last clause of our telegram ; but assuredly the strain of the whole is to intimate to his Holiness either that his flight would be a great convenience just now while the grand political fermenatation was going on, and that while France censures the counsels of extreme men , she would not be sorry if, in this case, they were followed ; or does it mean—that if the POPE does not this time enact the footman, and jump up behind a carriage post ing off to Gaeta, he must not expect the French to interfere with VICTOR EMMANUEL'S Generals,or even with GARIBALDI himself. The latter has, we know, in a rather warm effusion to the Palermitans, ut tered some rather ominous words. Rejecting the proposal for too early annexation ; regarding it as an embarrassment to him in the great work of uniting all Italy, he professes his firm adhesion to the annexation he has all along virtually pro claimed; and declares that the right time will be come when he can proclaim annexation from the summit of the Quirinal. Everthing is now approaching that issue—if— the French do not obstruct. GARIBALDI'S bat talions are coming up to Naples as fast as the steamers now at his command can bring them. To them will be added all the patriot part of the old Neapolitan army. What can the King do against them ? And can he rely on his soldiers to fire a shot at them? On the North the King's General's are capturing town after town ; this afternoon's telegram adds another, with a garrison of 600 persons, to the list. LAMORICIERE was at Ancona with 8,000 men, but the generals are press ing hard on him, and this evening we learn that the fleet under the command of Admiral PERSANO are in sight of Ancona. The general of mercenaries cannot therefore long hold out ; indeed it seems not unlikely that about the same moment GARIBALDI will have sent the Bourbon off to Spain, and the KING'S soldiershave made prisoners of all the POPE'S blood-thirsty and plundering hirelings. Nothing then will remain between Rome and the victorious Generals from the south and north but the 10,000 French bayonets at Rome. Easy work they would be, of course, but that is not the question. Nei tiler GARIBALDI nor FANTI think for a MO , ment of molesting a single French soldier ; there is no need to fear that Italians would think of such imprudence ; and we really must, on the whole, say ingratitude. For notwithstanding the occupation of Rome, Italians must thank French blood shed at Magenta and Solferino for their present prospects. But Italians will not quarrel with the French ; and it may•well - 7 - be that this last utterance does but obscurely indi cate the fact that the temporal rule of the POPE must take its chance, and that the time may not be distant when a united Italy will indeed be pro claimed from the Quirinal. The sooner the better. is Those who would win must work. The " Battle of the Constitution" in the Registration Courts is now commencing, and the victory will assuredly remain with the party which does not shrink from trouble. Our Conservative friends are doing their part well. They are availing themselves equally of the good and evil parts of the present laws to place their party in our position, and to convert their minority into a majority. In one sense we cannot blame them for overlooking no means avail able for their purpose ; but when they represent the Liberals as desirous " to prevent as far as prac ticable the introduction of new blood into the con stituency," one might suppose that they themselves were desirous of an extended constituency. So they are, no doubt, if the extension be of the right kind for them ; but they are also doing their very best to lessen the constituency to which we belong, at least, and we doubt not they are doing the same elsewhere. Not less, we are told, than 5,000 objec tions have they made to Liberal claims already. Every technical incorrectness, such as a forgotten change of residence, is laid hold of in the hope, of course, that the elector, by not attending, may lose his vote by default. We should say that such tactics aro too bad, but that both parties have in different times and places, according as each has happened to be active, re sorted to them. It is the law which is really too bad. - While it is what it is, unscrupulous partizan ship will resort to it ; the other side is compelled to do the same, and quiet persons are put to gratuitous trouble for the mere chance of striking off a hostile vote, though the person has every legal and real qualification for an elector. Unless an election be supposed to be at hand, too ratuay will not give themselves the trouble to protect their vote from the most groundless objection, and hence it has often happened that a neglected Register has lost an election which came on us by surprise. As things stand, there is nothing for it but for every Liberal to do his duty. It may be, it is, harassing' still it would be more provoking should a particular or a general election arrive, to find that, by a single day's supineness, any of us had contrib u t e d our s h are towards giving a seat to our opponents which we ought to have kept for ourselves. This registration, like all others, should impress on the minds of the Liberals two things. The first is, that we ought to have our registration laws amended in the sense favourable to protecting the voter and preserving the constituency. It must be of far less consequence that one man with too small a qualification, or a technically im Perfect one, should get a place on the register than that hundreds and thousands, who are really qualified, should be excluded. This latter will be confessed by all parties to be a serious evil. Yet it will not be denied that the tendency of the present R 9 g ifs " tration laws is rather to lessen the eonstituel intended by the Reform Bill, tha4to gather it a 11 into the registry. The rate-paying clauses have been long and justly denounced as a useless nui sance. It is one thing to acknowledge that an elector ought to pay his local taxes, and another to make his vote depend on it. Practically, the clause keeps off the register mere who ought to be there than of the contrary character. Then, again, it has been justly urged that a place on the register ought to be final. If once a man has attained the position in life which gives him a vote, why should he lose that vote ? He may, from many causes, lose his technical qualification, but the man remains the same. Sheer misfortune, not affecting his character or his capacity, may have compelled him to give up his house, or he may fail in complying with technical re • quirements, but the man remains as much qualified as before to fulfil the duties of an Elector. Once a priest, say the ecclesiastics, always a priest—we should advise Liberals, ai td THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEiMBER 18, 1860 Conservatives, too, to insist next year on the far better principle—once an elector always an elector. The other thing which electors are reminded of by the return of the annual pest of Registration — is the necessity of organisation. We believe there is nothing like the good old English Club. Malden set us an example, the other day, by reviving its old Liberal Club. While it was in active existenze in times gone by it could secure a fair share of the representation for the county ; since it ceased its activity, Essex has been overrun with Tories. They are now nine to one there. The Maldon Club means to rectify all that. And what is doing at Maldon must be done all over the country. Combination, meeting, mutual encouragement is the life of the Liberal party. We have no pecuniary gains to fight for, no unfair privilege to maintain. We fight for equal privilege for all. Hence our opponents can always find a body of persons everywhere, who have aepecial, almost a personal interest, in co ercing or cajoling their neighbours. Liberals have only a common cause, which they must keep before the people at large, if the beneficiaries of privilege and monopoly are not to steal a march upon them, Certain it is that the Con servatives believe that there is a reaction in their favour. In the faith of it they are working very hard everywhere. To think we shall win is half way to victory. If Liberals, therefore, rely on the general liberalism of public opinion, and forbear to combine in the necessary organisations, we should not be at all surprised, if a general election were precipitated next spring, that the Conservatives had the majority. Liberals may lay it down as an axiom ,hroughout this Registration, that—the workers 11 win. LATEST NEWB. The following telegrams have ben received at Mr. Reuter's office : TURIN, SEPT. 18. The Neapolitan squadron, under the command of Vice-Admiral Persano has arrived off Ancona. The citadel of Spoleto has capitulated to the Sar- dinian troops. The garrison, numbering 600 men, were made prisoners of war. VIENNA, SEPT. 17. Count de Toll, Aide-de-Camp General of the Emperor of Russia, has arrived hese, the bearer of an autograph letter from the Czar, inviting the Emperor of Austria to an interview at Warsaw. Baron Prokesch, Austrian internuncio at Con. stantinople, will proceed next week to his post. PARTS, SEPT. 18. The correspondent of the Ccnstitutionnel, by whom letters were addressed to the newspapers from Bulgaria, has been arrested by the Austrian police at Orsowa. He was immediately claimed by the French Consul at Belgrade. PARIS, SEPT. 18. The Moniteur of this morning says : " The Imperial squadron passed the heights of Mahon at 11 a.m. on Sunday last." ALGIERS, SEPT. 17, 9 A.M. The Imperial squadron is in sight. The Constitutionnel publishes an article, signed by M. Grandguillot, against the extreme party, which, after having counselled the Pope to follow a policy without concessions, now advises him to take to flight without honour. M. Grandguillot recalls that as long as the French troops are at Rome the security of the person and the authority of the Pope are guaranteed. M. Grandguillot expresses an earnest desire that the Pope should not quit Rome, and continues thus—" In expressing these wishes we have only in view the interests of the Papacy, for that which at present complicates the position of France is the presence of her army at Rome, and if this occupa tion could cease all would be simplified, at least in a political point of view. It is not Rome that we occupy, but it is the Papacy which we defend. Our occupation could in no case assume a political character. The first consequence of the flight of the Pope would be the evacuation of Rome by the French, and in leaving we should carry with us great uneasiness respecting the future of the tem poral power of the Pope." The correspondent of the Constitutionnel, by wnom letters were addressed to the newspapers from Bulgaria, has been arrested by the Austrian police at Orsova. He wag immediately claimed by the French consul at Belgrade. PARIS, SEPT. 1 In addition to the memorandum explaining the entry of Sardinian troops into the Papal States, addressed by Count Cavour to the diplomatic agents of Bardinia, for communication to the respective foreign Courts, the Chevalier Nigra, Sardinian re sident Minister at Paris, communicated a confiden tial despatch to M. Thouvenel the day before yes terday. In this despatch Count Cavour is said to have endeavoured to show that the occupation of the Marches and Umbria was indispensable, in order to avoid a collision between Garibaldi and the French troops occupying Rome. This despatch is also said to state that Garibaldi has given Piedmont to understand, in a peremptory manner, that if she does not immediately disperse the foreign volunteers of the Papal army, he would proceed from Naples to Rome in order to pursue and accomplish the task himself, and that he would only respect Rome on the condition that the Marches and Umbria were occupied by Sardinian troops. The Patric says :—" The reports that disturb ances had taken place at Subiaco, Tivoli, and Albano are unfounded," The same journal asserts that Austria is about to remit to the Powers a protest against the late events in Italy. News from Naples state that Kossuth was ex pected in that city. The Neapolitan squadron under the command of Vice-Admiral Persano, had doubled Cape Spartivento, on its way to Ancona. Dr. Brambilla, in whom the Dictator of the Two Sicilies appears to place unlimited confidence, ar rived yesterday evening at Turin from Naples. They are bearers of a letter from the famous General to the King. The audacious warrior in this letter traces the same programme as developed in the proclama tion to the people of Palermo—that is to say, that he shall not regard his mission as terminated until he has arrived at Rome and Venice, and that, despite his ardent desire for immediate annexation, the interests of the continuation of his enterprise are opposed to that measure. " Garibaldi concludes his letter by saying that he has no confidence in M. Cavour, and that that is the reason he cannot listen to counsels sent him from Turin. "This letter, which is not known to the public, and. of which I can guarantee the most perfect authenticity, has produced a great sensation in official circles. As yet nothing has been decided as to the terms in which the King's reply is to be couched. " M. de Rayneval, first Secretary of the Embassy, has been appointed Charge d'Affaires during the absence of M. de Talleyrand." AMERICA. LONDONDERRY, SEPT. 18. The Montreal Ocean Company's steamship Nova Scotian, Capt. M‘Master, from Quebec won the Bth inst., has arrived and landed all the mails. She passed the Bohemian, Canadian, and Sohn Bell. The America and the Prince Albert had arrived out. The latest advices from Honduras state that an English man-of-war had arrived for the protection of the citizens and their property. On the 23d ult. 700 men were outside the walls of Truxillo under the command of Guardiola ready to attack the town. The Prince of Wales arrived at Coburg on the 6th inst., and met with the usual reception. He received addresses from the town Council and the Victoria College. His Royal Highness reached Toronto on the 7th inst., and met with a most magnificent reception, the preparations surpassing those of all the other cities. A gorgeous canopy and throne were erected. On landing the Prince was received by the Mayor and Corpora tion, the judges and the members of Parliament. 1,000 children sang the National Anthem. : ,,;In the evening the city was brilliantly illumi nated. The son of Admiral Milne died on the 7th instan of scarlet fever. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, SEPT. 5 The stock market is steady.

This is a brilliant novel that displays a consider able share of ability, and discloses in a striking manner some of the chief characteristics of a flirt. There is hardly any member of society who plays a part so despicable as the woman who sets out with the avowed aim, end, and object of attracting attention, and goes on from one extreme to another till she reaches a point even she might have shud dered at had she seen it at the outset. Few more pitiable spectacles does mortality present in its dark days of suffering, its weary years of old age and decrepitude, and its awful hours of approaching death than these butterflies who have sported from flower to flower in their bright hey-day of youth and beauty. Truly may it be said of them—. They to the mercies of a moment leave the weighty cares of an eternal scene." Flora Lonsdale is a finished specimen of this hateful class, and she could hardly have been better pourtrayed. It is very natural that Mordaunt should have been deceived in her, as in nothing do men make more mistakes than in their opinion of those pretty doll• like crea tures who seem all innocence and simplicity, till the fatal day of discovery, when they are found all guile and subterfuge. Eleanor shines brightly by the contrast; she is an estimable girl, and one who improves on acquaintance. It lessens the pity one might feel for Mordaunt's disappointment when we reflect that he passed by such a peerless gem in his hasty snatching at the meretricious and gaudy prize held out 'to him. Some of the scones at Bath are admirably drawn, and ono feels assured that they are given by a master hand in the delineation of this peculiar style. The three worthies who were the princes of fashion in the pei sons of Dillon, Lepel, and Sir Hugh Barton, are apt illustrations of men of ton. Dillon had the advantage in that he was essentially superior in' himself to the folly of the surrounding things in which he took such apparent interest. It is satisfactory to find that at last he marries Miss Carsdale, who was a gentle and gracious lady, in every way too good for the flippant set amongst which she was obliged to mix. Mrs. George Lonsdale, the aunt, under whose fatal auspices Flora was introduced into society was a woman of the world, in whom natural selfishness and conceit, with acquired folly and deceitfulness had choked up almost every avenue - of good, and rendered her a fearful stum bling block in the way of advancement to all who came within the sphere of her influence. Notwith standing the folly and wickedness of those who urged on the giddy girl, it was better that Flora should exhibit herself in her true colours before the marriage than after. It was impossible a union with a man of Mordaunt's intellectual taste, and high-toned principles could have been a prosperous one. Their very different dispositions would have been ever at variance, their discordant ele ments of feeling would have jarred eternally, and eventual misery must have been the result. Far better would. it be for all who are engaged to such triflers to bear bravely the wrench that separates in mercy instead of assuming the bonds that join in dreadful doom hearts that never agree, and minds that are asunder as the poles. Mrs. Lons dale was a fit mother for such a daughter, but Mrs. George had the most character about her. Mr. Bromley, the rector of Carstone, is an easy sort of man, who thinks rather too much about the comforts of life to be exactly in accordance with the spirit of his vocation. He is, however, an up right man, and he occasionally displays much acuteness of discernment, as in the case of his be friending Sir Allan Mountjoy, and he exhibits some necessary firmness when he will not let his favourite Eleanor be driven away from the Rectory to suit the fancies of Mrs. Lonsdale and her amiable daughter. He also shows great sense in telling the mother of Flora to take her daughter to her indigenous haunts of fashion instead of bringing her back to the sequestered shades of Carstone Rectory. To this wandering life the fair Flora is left, to disport herself through all the bright hours of youth and beauty in the glare of crowded assemblies, and the excitement of vain desires, and at last to find in the misery of frustrated desires, and the weariness of worn out strength of body and exhausted energy of mind, that all is vanity and vexation of spirit. Eleanor was destined:to a far brighter lot than at-first seemed at all probable. She had had to endure the mor tification of seeing . the man she was attached to, and who had at one time seemed to care for her, select another, and one that she knew would bring him misery. But Eleanor Stuart possessed a spirit that rose above all obstacles, and a principle that sus tained her surely in the hour of need. In the dingy parlour of Mrs:Grant where she was forlorn, un noticed, and neglected, she might have taught the fops of fashion and' the belles of the circles who looked down upon her, many a wise lesson, and showed them many a high example. She was of great service to Sir Allan Mountjoy, an early friend of her childhood, then a poor dependent, neglected • and untaught, but now, by the deaths of his haughty relations called to the proud position of the inherit ance of a great name and a splendid estate. Memory lighted up the dark past with one bright vision, and it was true to his nature, that she w ho had solaced adversity should be the chosen of his heart when m prosperity. Eleanor had conquered her first at tachment, she was not the maiden to waste tears on one who had preferred a trifler like her cousin to her ; a mournful recollection lingered in the dis tant twilight of memory, but all excitement was over, an d all expectation for ever vanished. She went forth in her cairn dignity, in her refined attractions, a thousand times more really beautiful than the TILE Q UEEN IN SCOTLAND. On Sunday, at a quarter to 11, her Majesty, the Prince Consort, and the Princesses Alice and Helena left Holyrood Palace for Cramoncl-house, on a visit to the Duchess of Kent. Cramond-house is situate about six miles from Edinburgh, on the margin of the Firth of Forth, and has, for nearly two months past, been the residence of the august mother of her Majesty. The Royal party reached Cramond about half-past 11, and at midday attended public worship in the parish church, where the sermon was preached by the incumbent, the Rev. Dr. Colvin. After Divine service, the Queen, Prince Consort, and Princesses were joined by the younger mem bers of the Royal family, who drove out from Edin burgh at half-past 1 and partook of luncheon with the Duchess of Kent, The Royal party returned to Holyrood in the afternoon, which they reached at half-past 4, and they did not again lsave the Palace that evening. The Queen, Prince Consort, and Royal family left Edinburgh for the south yesterday evening at 6.50. The Royal party visited various public places during the day. ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY AT PORTS. MOUTH. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY MORNING: The Royal train arrived at the Queen's station, Clarence-yard, at 8.15. Her Majesty immediately left in the Fairy for Osborn e. Their Royal Highnesses the Crown Prince and Princess of Wurtemburg and suite have arrived at Cla ridge's Hotel from Shanklin, Isle of Wight. Madame Trinhoff and family have arrived at Clarid,ge's Hotel from St. Petersburg. The Earl of Rosslyn and Lady Harriet St. Clair have left Claridge's Hotel for Dysart House, N.B. _ _ Viscount Maynard, the Hon. Miss Maynard, and the Hon. Mrs. Ives, have arrived at Birmingham's Ship Hotel, Dover, from Homburg. We are glad to learn that his lordship is recovering from his recent severe indisposi tion. Lord Fortescue, Lord-Lieutenant of Devon, has given £l,OOO to endow a chaplaincy to the Devon County School, West Buckland. Mr. and Lady Isabella Stewart have left Far rance's Hotel for Brighton. ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR.--The election of a Lord Mayor of London for the year 1860-61 will take place in the Guildhall on Saturday, the 29th inst. It is gene rally understood that Mr. Alderman Cubitt, M.P., the first alderman below the chair, will be the person selected to fill the highest civic office. _ _ _ On her Majesty's journey to Coburg, she will be met at Coblentz by our Ambassador at Frankfort, Sir Alexander Malet, and his suite, who will accompany the Queen to Frankfort. Her Majesty is expected to pass the night of the 27th at the Hotel d'Angleterre, and on the following day the Royal party proceeds by the Royal Ba varian State Railway to Aschaffenburg, where the Queen will be met by the English Ambassador at the Court of Ba - varia, and his suite, who will accompany the Royal party to Coburg- Gotha. Lord J. Russell willalso be in attendance on the Queen. The Prince and Princess of Prussia, and Prince and Princess- Frederick William, will previously arrive at Coburg -Gotha. Her Majesty takes the same route on her return journey, and will be similarly escorted by the diplomatic representatives of this country.—Court Journal. _ _ _ A correspondent sends us the following from Quebec :—Cabot, the splendid dog presented by the New foundlanders to the Prince, was brought ashore from the Hero, on Saturday evening, and paraded about the Lower Town Market place, in charge of a young tar. Having shown a disposition to eat up a smaller dog on the ground, despite all the efforts of his chain holder, a man named Benoit, passing by, showed his displeasure by a kick at the distinguished stranger. " That's the Prince's dog," said the loyal huckster, M'Connell, " and if you kick him, I'll kick you." No sooner said than done. The dog was kicked again, and his enemy as promptly levelled to the ground by the indignant huckster, who was fined five dol lars for the protection he valiantly afforded the Prince's Newfoundlander. — Court Journal. THE NEW ZEALANDER.—Mr. James S. Fisken, in a let'er to a contemporary, says:—The New Zealander idea, of which the friends of Macaulay and Shelley are claimants, in truth belongs to neither, as will be seen on reference to the 2d chapter of Volney's " Ruins of Empires.' " Who knows," he writes, " but that hereafter some tra veller like myself will sit down upon the banks of the Seine, the Thames, or the Zuyder Zee, where now in the tumult of enjoyment the heart and the eyes ar• too slow to take in the multitude of sensations ; who knows but he will sit down solitary amid silent ruins and weep a people inurned, and their greatness changed into an empty name ? This was written 1787, long before Macaulay or Shelley "lisped in numbers." A REMOVAL FROM THE EAST INDIA HOUSE.- Yesterday morning the determination of the East Indian Government to abandon its old quarters in Leadenhall street, and to go " further west," was carried into effect and the migration was commenced on a large scale, very much to the distress of many who have been tenants of John Company's venerable mansion all their lives. Early in the morning a large number of carts was drawn up in front of the old house, and in a very short space of time they were filled with ponderous volumes containing the ac counts of the cash departments of the service, and all the fixtures pertaining to that important part of the establish ment. In the last session of Parliament it was determined that this and other portions of the Indian business should be transacted within the Westminster Palace Hotel, now in course of erection in 'Victoria-street, and to this, their new home, the goods conveyed away from Leadenhall street yesterday were transferred. A letter from Alexandria of the sth says : " A SINGULAR ARAB PROCLAMATION has been stuck up on the doors of all the churches in Saint Jean d'Acre, and circulated throughout Syria. It begins in this way : Groups of Mussulmans with swords raised against Christians, and drops of blood figured in red ink and spurting on the cross. The cross is surmounted with a mark to indicate that it has been spat on. The proclamation the:rays :—'-The Mus sulman nation to the nation of impiety, bad faith, and perfidy, which has deceived every one, and has unjustly exalted itself on the earth. To you we say, you are full of pride like ungrateful and insolent liberated slaves, and you have spread perfidiousness through the earth in which we had planted good, and because you obtained support from the Government you have committed acts such as no other nation ever perpetrated before. By Allah ! (this is the strongest form of oath a Mussulman can employ) you are only dogs I The massacre of you is a sweet tritmph ; and it is pleasant to pee the sharp sword of death fall and cause you horrible torments; and since you are now de prived of everything, you have become as mangy dogs !

The Turin correspondent of the Constitutionnel writes as follows, under date of Sept. 15 : " The Parliament is convoked for the 2d of Octo ber. The convocation was decided yesterday in a council of Ministers. "Count Trechi, Aide-de-Camp of Garibaldi, and dazzling Flora,who had really nothing but her pretty face, devoid of all intellectal and softening attrac• tions to add to her gifts, the brightness without which they would soon be lustreless to the eye of refinement, and the influence which could alone impress the beholder worth caring for. Mr. 11lor daunt does not appear very:prominently; his brightest moments are certainly his last on the scene of action, when he appears suddenly before the trea cherous girl, and surprising her in all the trumpery of her fancy-dress, as she prepared to depart for a ball which she had promised not to attend, as one ill suited for one about to become the wife of a cler gyman. In the few brief but impressive words there delivered, Henry Mordaunt redeems in some mea sure his previous folly and weakness, and vindicates his strength of purpose and clearness of perception. In the zeal for his outraged dignity, in the noble scorn for the weak and wicked pleasure-seeker beside him, he rises to the height that is due, and rebukes in the offended majesty of an outraged faith the girl who had appropriated his affections to trample them in the dust. She had hard work in all her pride to rush to the scene of vanity in be coming spirits, and conscience whispered that her good angel was bidding her farewell. This is a very effective story, and well exemplifies the object proposed. We meet with variety of subjects for contemplation, from the tranquil scenes of the Rectory to the bustle and excitement of the gay city of Bath. A solemn warning is brought before us of the vanity of all mortal triumphs, when the poor old lady of fashion, Lady Crampton, is struck by paralysis in the midst of a brilliant ball in the Assembly-rooms, and is borne senseless in her rouge, point lace, and diamonds through the giddy throng of dancers, who thus had forced npom them, as by the apparition at the Egyptian feasts of old, the ghastly reflection "To this complexion must we come at last." " Carsdale Rectory" is a novel that contains much to amuse the reader, and also much to arouse the attention and awaken thought. Many may ask themselves, how many prototypes to Flora Lonsdale are being trained up in what are vaunted as the bright and blessed homes of Eng land, to go forth to shine one fitful moment, and then retire in the shade to mourn the waste of life and dread the coming of death ? How few Eleanor Stuarts may be found in the walks of life, who will enter on every gay scene to please others and amuse herself, but who is ever ready to hurry away to the couch of the sick and the chamber of the dying. Only those like her can bear to think that one day such a scene will be enacted by them, and that if they are long spared they must stand aside and let fairer and younger creatures claim their honours. In the - dignity of their lives and the elevation of their feelings they can look back without regret to the lost brightness of youth ; or, if they must mourn over the past, still their soma* is not embittered by angry . recollections of envy and hatred. This work is in its way a successful attempt to stigma tise the folly and wickedness of those who foster the young in such paths, instead of holding them back and directing their energies to safer courses. It is said that Mrs. George Lonsdale, when she listened in delight to the parting words of Mor daunt and Flora, should have heard ringing in her ears the fatal denunciation that shall remain valid and lasting till time shall be no more— " Cursed is he who maketh the blind to go out of his way." It will be found, therefore, that there is ample scope for entertainment in these volumes, and abundant matter for interest in the discussion of their eventful pages. Some passages express deep feeling, and present striking instances of the melancholy results of over-ambition, and the sad end that waits on the efforts of those who build their edifices on the shifting sands of worldly plans and projects. It is not likely that it will result in failure, with such excellent principles to give it stability, and such attractive materials to work out its designs. All .Round the Trrehin. By 'Walter White, author of " A Londoner's Walk to the Land's End," &c. Chapman and Hall. Mr. White's pleasaitt annual volumes of trave, are now one of the recognised features of the autumn book season. Year by year he takes his month's pedestrian trip, penetrating odd localities, where guide books scorn to linger, and exploring quiet nooks and shady byeways, where railways are unknown. Most of his excursions have been among our English shires, and it is not too much to say that he has done more than any other writer of the day to familiarise Englishme: with the local features of their own country. He has told us of the rough miners of Cornwall, and the half civilised denizens of the Scilly Islands; of the sturdy Yorkshiremen, with their shrewd heads and broad tongues; of the collieries of Newcastle, and the quaint and lonely lives of the shepherds on the border; taking us, too, on some occasions across the channel, and introducing us to the homely and simple ways of the peasants of the Vaterland. He takes the title of his present work from a Shrop shire proverb, but he does not confine himself to the immediate vicinity of the stately old hill, for many of his chapters are devoted to Birmingham, and the trades of that busy city 'fill a great part of his book. We have accounts of wire- drawing and hook and eye making, descriptions of brass and iron foundries, visits to steel-pen and plate-glass works, and many other manufactures. The writer has evidently watched the processes carefully, and has described them very fully for the benefit of the uninitiated. He gives us, too, a vivid picture of the Black Country, which we transcribe : TIM BLACK COUNTRY. Once across the Edgbaston viaduct, which bestrides the ancient Incknield-street, and we are hurried into the Black Country. The name is eminently descriptive, for blackness every where prevails; the ground is black, the atmosphere is black, and the underground is honey-combed by mining galleries stretching in utter blackness for many a league. The scene is marvellous, and to one who beholds it for the first time by night, terrific. Then the roaring-furnaces are seen for miles around pour ing forth their fierce throbbing flames like volcanoes • then the hundred chimneys of ironworks display their blazing crests, or sheafs of fiery tongues; then the dull gleam of heaps of roastin g c , ironstone makes you fancy that the old globe itself is here smouldering away; overhead dense clouds of smoke reflect a lurid light, rolling fitfully before the wind; while the hissing and rushing of steam, the clang and clatter of machinery, the roaring blasts, and the shock of ponderous hammer-strokes, all intensified by the presence of night,' complete an effect which amazes alike the eye and the ear. The effect is one that vividly excites the imagination, and is not easily forgotten. By day, as the train speeds across, you hear the same noises, and see the fires divested of their nightly terrors, yet find it difficult to believe that a scene of so much havoc and seeming confusion represents prosperous industry, and one of the most important departments of British trade. Per-. haps for, the first time you become aware of the omnipo tence of coal and iron. Even the stations walls, and bridges are built of bricks, and have the appear ance of iron. You catch glimpses of smoking heaps, of muddy canals, complications of locks, bridges, tramways; boats moving, trains rolling; of coal-pits where the iron arm projects from the little engine -house working busily up and down, while the. whimseys creak as the long rope passes over; of abandoned workings where office and engine-house are in ruin, and scraps of ragged hedge-row look very miserable, and the tall posts stand up skeleton-like, and fragments of machinery lie about de voured by rust; of heaps, nay hills, that resemble brick rubbish, of gigantic oyster-shells which a lady's hoop would hardly encircle, and big slaty-looking slabs—accumu lations of refuse which cover the ground. And amid all this are the cottages' of artisans and miners : English homes, whence sun and stars are seen darkly, situate in a region devoid of repose and beauty, which looks as if smit ten by desolation, notwithstanding that here and there grow patches of wheat and plots of potatoes. And so it continues for thirteen miles, all the way from Birmingham to Wolverhampton ; but whatever may be the gloom, havoc, and confusion elsewhere, you only see the worst when passing Bilston. The potteries of the Swadlincote district also fur nish some interesting details, and perhaps the reader may look with more respect on the common yellow ware which is the principal staple of these works, when he learns the various processes through which it has to go. " A whole book," says our author, " might be written in description of all the potter's ingenious devices." A very good general idea of the proceedings may, however, be gathered from his pages. Indeed his descriptions of the various manufactures are among the most interesting por tions of the book. Here is an account of his visit to the plate-glass works at Smethwick and the operation of GLASS CASTING. The sand having been well washed to get rid of impuri ties, the " ingrediments," as I once heard a Birmingham glass-blower call them, are carefully mixed and. conveyed to the furnace, which is a huge cone of brickwork, gorged with fire, and roaring in a way that may enable you to imagine the mouth of a volcano. You will start back from the frightful glare when the doors are opened, shaving the interior all at an intense white heat, and a row of enormous crucibles—pots the men call them, standing within the mouth, quivering and glowing like all the rest. You could not desire a better example of the stubborn nature of Stour bridge fire. clay, and its defiance of conflagration. I made the same inquiry here as in other places, as to the duration of the fire; but not one had been alight long enough to breed a salamander—namely, seven years, as was believed in days of old.. You would think that no ono could go near that inferno and live; yet the men, handling their spades expeditiously, throw the material above-described into the pots, till each is filled with its allowance of nine hundred weight. Then the doors are shut, and the fierce fire is maintained for fourteen hours—so long does it take to melt the sandy mixture. The casting is about to begin. We are in a large, gloomy shed where, along each side, app ear th e mout h s o f anneal ing ovens. Against one of the mouths stands a large ob long iron table, moveable on wheels, its top warmd by boxes of fire placed underneath, an& its smooth surface level with the bottom of the oven. At one end rests a large. iron roller connected by a chain-tackle with a windlass at the other, which when in motion rum upon a bar of iron about half an inch thick, placed near each side of the table. According to the thickness of the bars so is that of the plate. At the sound of the foreman's whistle, his party, all well drilled to their several tasks, b eta k e themselves to their posts. Ther e i s no con f us i on, no s houting ; indeed scar cel y a word is spoken, for each kllows what ho 1153 to do, The furnace doors are flung open; a wheeled crane bearing a largo ring at the end of its arm, is thrust forward, and one of the pots being encircled thereby, the men drag it away to the shed. Even at four yards distance we find its scorch ing glare intolerable, inspiring a sense of dread. When near the table two men, who stand ready with scoops, and wear goggles to protect their eyes, skim off the impurities which rise to the surface of the molten m ass, and one then dips out a scoopful as a test. Meanwhile the glare spreads around, illuminating the dusky walls in strange patches, streaming on the earthen floor, and penetrating to the sombre span of the lofty roof. And there stand the men in expectant attitudes, awaiting the signal, their faces glisten.. ing in the glare, composing many a striking effect of light and shadow, and varied emotion. The foreman examines the test through a hand-screen of smoke-coloured glass. He beckoned me to approach; and I saw what may be described as a ladleful of red-hot boil- ing paste, across the surface of which gleams of colour played as on the sides of a dying dolphin. The foreman having satisfied himself as to the quality, the pot is lifted by a crane, brought over the table, when the men seizing the long projecting handles from each side, give a swing to and fro, and, tilting at the exact moment, the fiery paste is poured out immediately in front of the roller. At once the men at the windlass begin to turn; the roller moves; spreads out the paste before it, till it covers the whole table between the bars, and having travelled the whole length of the table, it stops at the windlass. How the grea t red-hot plate seems to quiver still, for now a blush, now a paleness, now a cloud passes across its surface, and gleams of sur prising hue. It appears leathery in consistence as a man passes an iron " sword" under its outer end, while some five or six others lifting a gigantic peel, pass it under the end of the plate just raised, other men seize the ropes at tached to the long handle, and at the word "pull altogether" the plate is driven into the oven, and there pushed to the, furthest corner, for each oven will hold four plates. Forth with another pot is brought and another plate cast, and when the oven has received its charge the mouth is stopped, and the whole left to cool gradually for two days. By this slow cooling the plates are annealed, and brought into the condition which such glass requires to make it useful. The description of wire-drawing, and the immense amount consumed 'weekly, may astonish the curi ous, as it did a lady visitor, who asked how much the finest wire was a yard, and received the reply, "We sell a mile for eightpence." The quantity of all sizes drawn weekly at the works in question is from 50 to 100 tons. During the preparation of the Atlantic telegraph it was always the maximum, but 'at present, owing to the fashion of steel petti coats, even that amount is exceeded. " A tradi tion yet occurs here and there in the trade that the best drawn plates were formerly made in France and sold for their weight in silver. But though steel suffices for all ordinary wire, something bet ter must be used in drawing wire for philosophical purposes, and this is commonly a gem of hard quality. There is an instance on record of nearly two hundred miles of silver wire having been drawn through a ruby 'without any perceptible difference in its diameter from end to end." The manufacture of such simple articles as hooks and eyes is not without its marvels. " From the pall of the first lever to the squeeze of the last there are seven several movements required in the stamping of a hook ; and to see how each one takes place pre cisely when it ought to take place is to one whose days are not passed among machinery as surpris ing as admirable." The machinery recently in vented for their construction appears to be a re- markable piece of ingenuity. The steel pen works, where w'omen and girls are mostly employed, are a pleasing sight. As the writer observes, it ranks a mong the most desirable trades for female fingers, and is besides fairly remunerative. "A girl who , knows how to make the most of her time will cut out three hundred gross of blanks—more than forty thousand a day—and earn from 12s. to 15s. a week," What becomes of all the steel pens ? asks the author at the end of his visit. It seems, he says, a question more difficult to answer than that as to the fate of the hooks and eyes, for Bir mingham uses up from eight to nine tons of steel every week in the pen manufacture—more than 400 tons a year. It is curious after all these busy scenes of labour to be transported into the seclusion of a monastic retreat. Yet so it is, for our author, among his other exploits, pays a visit to the monks of St. Bernard's Abbey, near Bardon Hill, whose lives seem to be scarcely less laborious than these of the workers of Birmingham. Many , curious scraps of information are given, and some interest ing particulars as to the state of popular:edueation, and the Quaker's "first day" school and its bene 4 : ficial effects are added, which will attract the; attention of all who concern themselves in the wet:. fare of the great working masses of the popula tion. There is besides plenty of rural description for the lover of meadows and hedgerows, and we can assure the general reader he will find pleasant and profitable entertainment in accompanying Mr. White in his wanderings All Round the Wrekin. The North British Review. No. LXV. T. Clark, Edinburgh. We learn from the prospectus that the manage ment of this review has changed hands. Messrs. Clark, the publishers, have acquired the copyright, and it will henceforth come under their control. These arrangements have, however, been made so recently that they will not, we are told, come into full operation until the November number, and consequently wo are not in a position to judge of the literary results of the transfer, We can only say that the prospectus they put forward is fair and temperate in its tone and liberal in its character, and we may therefore trust that the character of this long-established quarterly will not deteriorate, but that it may assume a position of more importance, and secure the interest of a wider circle of readers than it has done of late years. The number before us is of average merit, containing some good sen sible articles, though nothing perhaps of extraordi nary merit. An essay on " Scottish Nationality" is among the most interesting, and is certainly written without undue partiality, for it scarcely renders full justice to the indomitable qualities which have always distinguished the northern race. Two papers of criticism on " Recent Poetry " and " Imaginative Literature" will repay perusal ; and there is also a careful review of Thiers's last volume on the Empire, which subjects the brilliant French historian to some keen analysis. An article on severe winters gives some curious details of the fluctuations of temperature noticed by men of science. We shall look with in terest to the appearance of Messrs. Clark's new number, trusting they will not allow the Review to be too much eng rossed with logical•and theological disquisitions, but will open its pages to free discus sion of the questions of the day, and topics of gene ral interest. IRELAND. DUBLIN, MONDAY EVENING. ATTEMPT TO 3IURDER THE EARL OF LEITRIM. The Evening Mail publishes a despatch, dated Mohill, Saturday, announcing an attempt to murder Lord'Leitrim. The assassin is generally believed to be insane : g , MOH ILL, SEPT, 15. " The inhabitants of this town were thrown into a fearful state of excitement this afternoon by a determined attempt to assassinate the .Lord Leitrim. About 2 o'clock, as Lord Leitrim was returnin from presiding at a meeting of the board of guardians, and while passing the shop of a man named Murphy, he was . fired at the charge consisting of three balls, which narrowly missed his lordship. It happened that two police men were in the neighbourhood at the time, who having oberved a puff of smoke issuing from the shop door, entered, and found Murphy standing in the front of the shop, bolding in his hand a gun which had evidently been discharged only a moment before. It appears that a few days pre viously Murphy had sent a written challenge to Lord Leitrim, and this circumstance, coupled with the fact of making the attempt in a public street and at an hour of the day when detection must have been inevitable, leads to the suspicion that the unfortunate man labours under aberration of mind."

A STRANGE PLACE FOR A NEST.—The .Falkirk Herald says :—A, short time ago a party of friends paid a visit to th© grounds of J. Burn Murdoch, Esq., of Garten caber, nine mil es west of Stirling, when their attention was directed to a l argo s h e ll brought from the Crimea, similar to those used in the late war.
