THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 5, 1860. been interrupted, as we are consoled to remember they were interrupted very frequently, with excla mations half of incredulity, half of indignation. It may confidently be asserted that had the views of Mr. BRIGHT and Mr. BRIGHT'S associates influ enced the councils of England at any period in the past history of our country, England would cer tainly not be what she is now, the wealthiest, the most powerful, and the most free among all the world's great Constitutional Governments. If Mr. BRIGHT'S policy had triumphed only as recently as the time immediately prior to the outbreak of that last war with Russia in the Crimea—how very different now would have been the political situation of Christendom ! The member for Birmingham would, of course, exultingly echo the ejaculation! He would remind us that there would in that contingency have been saved 100,000 lives and £100,000,000 of money ! True—we should undoubtedly so far have economised both blood and treasure ; but how would matters have stood on the other side of the balance-sheet? The Autocrat of all the Russias would, during these last six years, either have been menacing the peace of, or dictating laws to, Europe from the Dardanelles ! It is a monstrous untruth to assert, as it has been for some time the fashion to assert, that the war with Russia has effected no political or social ad 'vantage whatever, that it has resulted merely in the destruction of so many lives and in the squan dering of so much treasure. Although Sebastopol was only half-taken at last, although the Crimea, at the termination of hostilities, was entirely eva cuated by the Allies, although Russia even then was not constrained to pay down one farthing of indemnity, it were simply a wilful perversion of the truth to assert that the Allies were not perfectly and pre-eminently successful in carrying the design for which that sanguinary and expensive war was commenced! That design was—not the conquest of Russia—not the occupation of the Crimea—not the capture of Sebastopol—but the overthrow, the extinction, the utter destruction and discomfiture of that Russian policy, the accomplishment of which would have been (six years ago—but for the Crimean war) the establishment of the Russian Autrocrat as the lord paramount of Europe at Con- ROYAL ENGLISH OPERA, COVENT-GARDEN.

THE SUN. LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 5, 1860. We print, in another part, two very important circulars, the one to Turin, the other to England, stating the intended or present policy of the Em peror NAPOLEON with regard to Italy. It were idle to speculate on the effect which these missiles will create in the minds of England, Sardinia, and Italy aye, and Europe too. Some people are cursed with too much good luck, and mistake their mission, turning that to evil which was meant for good to themselves and all with whom they are concerned. But the Emperor NAPOLEON seems to laugh at the very fate which hastens him to his doom; We wish him joy of it ! The hour has not yet come, but the hand of destin y is up ready to strike the knell of his fate. He has worsted Austria for a time, and sup poses he has finished the work. Let him wait a bit. That same Austria, devoted to her doom, will yet play him as false as his heart is sanguine of success. Does he think that this country, England, can stand by and countenance his audacity in making plans day by day—each more insulting than the other ?—that Italy which has suffered so much already is to be at his nod and beck—in order that the original conception of placing his cousin on the throne of Tuscany may be realised ? His game has faltered in more respects than one already, and if I° yet hope to prosper he had better let the wish of the Italians be consumated by the complete deliverance of their country without any more in terference than to help them on—not to divert them from an object so very dear to their hearts. Mr. BRIGHT'S speech in the House of Commons on Friday evening affords, in every syllable of it, fo full and co m p lete j ustific ation everythi ng. we h have ever written about himself and peace -at• .any-price policy. It was a speech which, f rom i ts :flagrant pusillani mit y , was unworth y to have fallen . tram the lips of an Englishman. It contained ithiu it the expression of sentiments arising out of an ;utter prostration before the dominant will of the poi serful chief of 600,000 soldiers, the imperial ru2er oi " very nearly 40,000,000 of Frenchmen. No wonder that views so particularly small, and it might au. rely be added even craven, should have . ~ _ ,•.. It is a melancholy fact, that in enlightened Eng land, where freedom of speech and religious tolera- tion exist to an extent not to be approached by any nation in Europe, our very liberty and diversity of opinion are fatal to the propagation of Christianity both at home and abroad. Thousands will contri bute to missionary societies, the objects of which are to convert, or rather, alas, as is too often the case, pretend to convert the savages on the other side of the Equator, while, when a really useful attempt is made to spread the doctrines of CIIRIST amongst our ill-instructed countrymen, it is met with factious opposition. We do not, by these re marks, wish to censure the many who, with a real desire to do good, give their mite to aid in a pious cause, nor those who, with a conscientious feeling of good intention, venture among wild savages and endeavour in their conduct to emulate the apostles of CHRIST—but we do censure that feeling of rivalry which exists amongst our English multi tudinous sects, as well as with the Roman Catholic agents, each endeavouring to cut his rival out of the field, and be able to report to his own particu lar board at home that he is one male and two female converts in advance of the rest of the adventurers. Sir JAMES EMERSON TENNENT, in his admirable work on Ceylon, states that the natives in that island are so confused by the contradictory re presentations of the rival missionaries that the equal law of Christ is perverted into a chaos of unintelligi ble contradictions, " Thus the outward concurrence of Christianity in those points on which it agrees with their own religion, has proved more embar rassing to the natives than their perplexity as to others in which it essentially differs ; till at last, too timid to doubt, and too feeble to inquire, they cling with helpless tenacity to their own supersti tion, and yet subscribe to the new faith simply by adding it on to the old. Combined with this state of irresolution a serious obstacle to the acceptance of reformed Christianity by the Singhalese Bud dhists has arisen from the differences and disagree ments between the various ehurches by whose ministers it has been successively offered. to them. In the persecution of the Roman Catholics by the Dutch, the subsequent supercession of the Church of Holland by that of England, the rivalries more or less apparent between the Episcopalians and Presbyterians, and the peculiarities which separate the Baptists from the Wesleyan Methodists—all of whom have their missions and representatives in Ceylon—the Singhalese can discover little more than that they are offered something still doubtful and unsettled, in exchange for which they are pressed to surrender their own ancient superstition. Conscious of their inability to decide what has baffled the wisest of their European teachers to re concile, they hesitate to exchange for an apparent uncertainty that which has been unhesitatingly believed by generations of their ancestors, and which comes recommended to them by all the autho rity of antiquity; and even when truth has been so far successful as to shake their confidence in their national faith, the choice of sects which has been offfered to them leads to utter bewil derment as to the peculiar form of Chris tianity with which they may most confid ingly replace it." The success of the various mis sionary societies read:well on paper, and the sup porters of each and all of them depart from their periodical meetings brimful of satisfaction and thankfulness toProvidence,that they have been able to assist in so glorious and pious an undertaking. But they should bear in mind that they have only received one side of the question ; they have, in fact, only heard read a report from paid officials, who writing from a distant and unfrequented locality have little fear of contradiction to any of their re presentations, and whose manifest object is to en courage their supporters by favourable reports to subscribe funds sufficient to pay their salaries. The list of converts too must be accepted with caution. Man whether in a wild or civilised state is endowed with the power of reason, and in general consults his worldly advantage in all his actions ; when, therefore, the missionaries have established, as is the case in many of the Pacific islands, as well as on the mainland in certain parts, an absolute go vernment, the crafty among the natives find it to their advantage to curry favour with the mis sionaries, and adopt any faith which is acceptable to them, in order to carry out their worldly ends, and these sycophants are reported as converts, but can they be considered as Christians ? and have not the missionaries in such cases rather aided their fall than assisted in their salvation ? We do not ques tion the sincerity of the promoters at home, nor the zeal of many of the foreign preachers, but we maintain that in many cases both the heads of so cieties and the public at large are imposed upon. South African travellers could tales unfold of the relations of certain missionaries making rapid and immense fortunes by keeping stores at the mis sionary stations and dealing with the natives. It is a curious fact that these retiring and pious indi viduals seek out of the way and remote districts, almost out of the pale of civilisation, to dis guise their doings. Why has Australia been almost completely neglected ? Can it be because rich furs and ivory are not to be obtained on that auriferous continent ? We make these remarks because we wish the money expended by charitable persons to be ad vantageously applied; too much care cannot be taken in the selection of agents in so important and difficult an undertaking, for zeal without discretion is ruin. Although it is contrary to British policy to make people religious by Act of Parliament, or follow MAIIOMET'S strong argument of conversion at the point of the sword, still we hold that the Government ought to exercise some authority over religious zealots in a negative form. Among other causes for the late Indian rebellit n . the vexed question of religious toleration figured prominently ; and, to go back to an earlier date, the first attempts made towards opening an intercourse between China and the Western World in the fifteenth century were frustrated by the bigotry of certain Jesuit missionaries, unfit for aught else than e to u i a p t a t ebnd ili t inquisitions a d a s n d o fb theirurn h o e rr deretic n . B p e u r t m fo i t i the t • ing such incompetent and dangerous agents to follow in the wake of such intelligent men as Ricci and his c ompan i ons, the markets of China would long since ha v e been op en t o th e merc h an t s of Europe. We extract the followinf , front an in teresting work on China in th e present Quarterly : —" They were received kindly. m vrEo Ricci and his Jesuit brethren were most successful, not only in making converts to Christianity but in impressing the EMP EROIt and the officials of China with the superiority of their attainments. The Jesuits forebore to enter at once into direct hos tility with the teachings of CONFUCIUS and 111. N. erns. They admitted as a civil right the reverence paid to the tombs of ancestors, and to the represen tation of the Emperors' act, which are typical of filial duty and obedience, and are the foundation of all Chinese authority. The suc cessors of the first missionaries denounced their stantinople. One of Mr. BRIGHT'S most cherished aspirations appears to be that of complacently beholding, and even encouraging, and actually exulting over the territorial aggrandisement of empires governed by potentates altogether despotic and irresponsible. It was in this spirit that he deprecated the war of which we have been speaking. It was in this spirit that five sessions back he talked so very grandiloquently about the "Angel of Death flap ping its wings," and gave utterance to a great deal of similar rhodomontade—preferring, above all things, at that moment, that instead of spending so much money and shedding so much blood to prevent the CZAR from carrying out his designs against Turkey, and, through Turkey, against Europe, we should have quietly and amiably looked on while that little project was being conducted to a successful issue by the AUTO CRAT. Consistently with these poor little white livered views, the member for Birmingham now maintains in the British House of Commons that the projected annexation of Savoy to France is one of the most natural, almost one of the most desirable, things in the world—that it is essentially in itself (and regarded from all points of view) one of the most reasonable projects of annexation ! Viewing the scheme as it relates to Sardinia, Mr. BRIGHT remarked on Friday evening that " he did not be lieve Sardinia would be sensibly weakened or changed if the - transfer took place." At which the House of Commons—even this House of Commons which has just consented to swallow a one-sided commercial treaty negotiated with the power ful French EMPEROR in the name and on behalf of England by a Peace-at-any-Price Ple nipotentiary—the House of Commons could not refrain foom uttering derisive cries of " Oh ! oh !" Viewing the project again in its bearing upon the Savoyards themselves, Mr. BRIGHT re marked, on Friday, that "he had heard from per sons of high authority that the inhabitants of Savoy had not only no objection to the transfer, but would prefer being annexed to France." Again the House of Commons—even the present Treaty swallowing House of Commons—responds with fresh cries of "Oh ! oh !" Judging, we don't know how far, from his own feelings of loyalty, but cer tainly in a way that evidences a very mean esti mate of human nature, Mr. BRIGHT observed, on Friday, that, "for his own part, he would not give much for the loyalty of some people in other coun tries besides Savoy if he could promise them to double the value of the landed property of their country." Again cries of "Oh ! oh !" from the House of Commons. But the loudest of all these outbursts of scorn and indignation was reserved for that astonishing avowal of the member for Birming ham—when, having remarked that "he did not wish the Government to give the slightest counte nance to the transaction, but on the other hand he would not ask them to offet it the slighest opposi tion, because such oppostion would be futile, and they could not possibly prevent the annexa tion of Savoy, although they might em broil England with France"—Mr. BRIGHT actually went the length of exclaiming, " Rather than this should happen, perish Savoy !" Nothing need be added to the cries of " Oh ! oh !" with - which the House of Commons greeted this astounding ejaculation. Mr. BRIGHT'S remarks upon the proposed annexation of Savoy to France may be commended to general consideration with out one syllable of commentary beyond this—That a peace-at-any-price policy appears to involve far more than the sacrifice of a round £1,000,000 for a treaty with Imperial France in a year of deficit— far more than an income tax, in other words, a war tax of £10,000,000 in a year of peace to the same end—it onvolves with this, above this, beyond this, the despicable sacrifice of the Duty, the Glory, and the Honour of England ! It was stated in the House of Lords the other evening by the Earl of SHAFTESBURY that not more than two per cent. of the lower orders in Lon don ever attended a place of worship. The praise. worthy experiment made by the noble lord and other well-meaning individuals of preaching on Sundays in the metropolitan theatres was attacked by the very pious Viscount DUNGANNON, who, in his veneration for the Word of GOD, maintained that an act of desecration was committed by read ing prayers in a place intended for public amuse ment. We heartily concur with the Archbishop of CANTERBURY in his declaration that, in his opinion, the theatre was consecrated by divine service being held within its walls, rather than that religion suf fered from the unwashed and ill-clad being present to hear the Word of God preached in a building which had not undergone the ceremony of sacerdotal benediction. Where did the Apostles preach ? Why, wherever they could—even in the wilderness, where multitudes flocked to hear them. Has not Christ said—" F or w h ere t wo or th re e are gathered togeth er i n my name, there am I in the midst of them." What will Lord DUNGANNON say to this ? It is not the place that sanctifies the deed, but the good intention that glorifie; the Word of God. the truth seems to be that in the present day form brethre a for thus yielding to expediency, and is more appreciated than the act. Else why should raiiiatr ;d a Popish bull against such heretical there be so much deference paid to outward ap- , ceedir igs.

The other papers maintain a reserve on the question. The manufacture of rifled guns has been declared ruling over millions of theoretical atheists, claimed to , be the only person from whom all human h appiness flowed, and full of wrath at the invasion of his supposed rights, he swept out the religion of CHRIST from the wide spre ad provinces of China. Thus the first attempt made by the Chinese to depart from the wisdom of their ancestors, who had laid down as an as iom that nothing but evil could arise from com m unication with foreigners, resulted in misery and bitoodshed ; and the barriers between China and the b arbarous nations were made more impassable than ever." Many other examples might be cited to show the injury which has resulted from the mistaken fer von r with which enthusiasts have attempted to force the it particular tenets, nolens volens, down the thr oats of others. Why should the Christian reli gion suffer, or the peace of British dependencies be endangered to please a few old women in Exeter Hall ? Why should it not be distinctly understood throughout all our foreign possessions, that the British Government will not interfere, directly or indirectly, with the religious worship of her Ma jesty's subjects; and all holding Government ap pointments, both civil and military, should be given to understand that any interference, whether by word or deed, in religious matters, will be visited with dismissal. The Government or supreme authority of any district or island should never be vested in a missionary, the only result of whi:h is to bring into contempt the very faith which we all desire to exalt. Make-believe convert■ may look well on paper, but they would not be of much ac count were their real motives scrutinised. LATEST NEWS. The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Reuter's office : The Moniteur of to-day announces that yester day the Minister of the United States presented his lettres de creance.

Sardinia will possess in Tuscany an ally who will aid her to overcome the opposition of Naples and Rome, in order to con stitute an Italian nation, with the concurrence of all its nationalities, and not an Italian kingdom, absorbing everything without considering the essentialidifference, the opposing interests, and the distrust of Europe." The Government of the Pope has prohibited com mercial relations between Ancona and Romagna The merchants have protested. There is great agitation in the Marches, and the landed proprietors are refusing to pay the taxes.

" The Italian party is greatly agitated." To inquiries made here by the representatives of some foreign Powers, the Austrian Government has replied that, its interests not being directly affected by the annexation of Savoy to France, it would observe on this question the same passive conduct which the great Powers exhibited at the time of the last war in Lombardy, and that Austria will not protest against the annexation of Savoy. TRIESTE, Milieu 3. A committee has been formed here to collect sub. scriptions on behalf of the Pope. The Papal Government has prohibited commerce by transit between Ancona and the Romagna.

Thousands of citizens are signing addresses to the great Powers in favour of the annexation. Soldiers enlisted in Austria continue to arrive in the States of the Church and in Naples. A popular manifestation of no importance in favour of annexation to Piedmont has taken place in Gubbio. The Pope is sai& to be ready to grant concessions, if the Legations submit.

There is an excellent article on the " Anglo- Gallican Budget," which denounces that measure for its one-sided policy, and censures the Ministers who offered it for acceptance. After citing the many unwise concessions made by us, and the total absence of any conditions imposed on France in regard to her future aggressive policy, the writer thus forcibly expresses himself :—" Supposing it possible that old Noll Cromwell could have been present at the Cabinet where such a degradation was proposed, the chances are that he would have cleared - the apartment in as summary a manner as he once dispersed the House of Commons." It will be interesting to notice the opinions that were ex pressed some time ago by the chief of the Cabins% who now promulgates the treaty : " The question was discussed years ago, and, as a result, the late Sir R. Peel concluded that our plan with regard to free-trade was to establish it ourselves whenever we thought it desirable, and that without any bargain or stipulation with regard to the reciprocity That view received the emphatic approbation of the Premier, Lord Palmerston, who said—' I concur with my noble friend that it is not expedient for this couutry to enter into a treaty of commerce with any foreign country, founded upon a mutual arrangement of tariffs. The true policy is to make for your own advantage such diminutions of your Customs' duties as you think are calculated to promote your own interest.' We have quoted the exact words, and we leave our readers and the public at large to draw the inference." Those who are possessed of sufficient sense to agree with plain statements, instead of being led away by the delusive arguments of those who are frightened of foreign despots, will appreciate this article, as it contains not only solid truths on important sub jects, but is imbued with some of that sentiment of national honour which seems dying out in the minds of too many of our legislators ; and some of the Radical members, who are con sumed with patriotic fires at suburban entertain ments, and some of the orators whose elo quence electrifies manufacturing districts, might gain some wise hints as to maintaining the dignity of their country, and relieving the oppressed mil lions of her toiling sons, by perusing the remarks made in an old Tory publication: The following suggestions, in conclusion, as to the non-approval of this treaty by the French nation are worthy of notice : " The French are a jealous and highly irritable people ; and it is a vast misfortune that their present constitution is such, that we have no means of ascertaining what is the aggregate general opinion. Had there been a free Chamber of Deputies, representing agricultural, manufac turing, and trading interests, their resolutions would have been an excellent guide. But there is nothing of the kind. We have to deal solely with a dark inscrutable man, upon whose good faith it is impossible to place any reliance. Mr. Bright and his disciples profess to have the utmost confi dence in his probity ; but, on the contrary, the transactions of the last twelve months bear damning evidence to the con trary. What have become of the stipulations of Villafranca ? —where is the Treaty of Zurich ?—what is this we hear about the bargain for the cession of Savoy, in case Sardinia should acquire Lombardy, and the annexation of Nice, if Venetia could be wrested from the Austrians ?" " St. Stephen's" is continued, and it presents in its third part much to claim attention. Perhaps the best of the sketches here described in graphic force is that of the late Sir It. Peel. This graceful tri bute to the memory of one who was so distinguished in his generation cannot but prove acceptable to the friends of the departed minister. However, after the display made on Friday in the house, it is too much for us to believe that the responsibility of office would work such a miracle as here repre sented— " Let Bright responsible for England be, And straight in Bright a Chatham we should see." This poem is really admirable in its peculiar style, and is a decided acquisition to the pages of this periodical. The following lines are expressive of the spirit that actuates the author of these brilliant stanzas : " Still in the Senate, whatsoe'er we lack, It is not genius ; —call old giants back, And men now living might as tall appear, Judg'd by our sons, not us—we stand too near. These I name not—their race is yet to run, Iluzza'd or hooted ;—my calm task is done. Neer of the living can the living judge— Too blind the affection, or too fresh the grudge ! My aim was not the libel of the hour, To snarl at Genius or beslaver Power. To live is to contest; no angry breath From this fierce world should pass the gates of Death." " The Luck of Ladysmede" is concluded in a very spirited manner, and redeems much that was tame in its former parts. " Norwan Sinclair" is rather dull this month, but here and there exhibits some clever sketches. The first paper passes a well merited eulogium on Mr. Oliphant's work on Lord Elgin's Mission to China and Japan, and after dis cussing the political passages, it observes that for variety and interest of incident, it may be compared to the voyaggs of Sinbad the sailor. Dublin University Magazine. " Vonved the Dane, Count of Elsinore," is con tinued, and the extraordinary narrative is well worthy of perusal. One is compelled to admire the spirit of dashing and daring enterprise that ani mated the wild warrior of the ocean. If bis prin ciples were not perfect he had his own code of honour, which was strictly observed among the brave band of devoted followers. They seemed spirits akin to those •of whom it was written— " O'er the glad waters of the dark blue sea, Our thoughts as boundless and our souls as free, Far as the breeze can bear the billows foam, Survey our empire and behold our home." The doom of the traitor is a most effective passage; it was a fitting end for so base a deceiver that he should find immediate retribution for his infamous act. This uncommon narrative will interest those who like exciting records and romantic sketches, and the Rover of the Baltic is not an unworthy hero. The story of " Artist and Craftsman" is con cluded ; it is a very interesting tale, but it must be confessed that the author makes some sweeping assertions as regards feminine vocations, and it is rather a circumscribed boundary in which to con fine the intellectual and gifted to fix the limits of their endeavours in the successful performance of house-keeping. Unless something better actuates them there will be plenty of occasion for the ad versary to speak reproachfully. "‘ The Season Ticket" also reaches its termination in this number, and there is no doubt that many readers will miss its sparkling sallies, its pungent sarcasms, and its good natured abuse of men and things in the suc ceeding pages of this periodical. During its existence it has certainly furnished an inexhaustible fund of enlivening and en tertaining reading. " My Club Table" is a well written paper on various works of importance in branches of literature that have appeared. It is fairly done on the whole, and the high praise be stowed on Holme Lee's last work, " Against Wind and Tide," is well deserved, inasmuch as all the books of that author stand out apart from the coal men run of romances, and reveal g►liinpses of deep thought, which show they emanate from no com mon min I. There is the second part of "The Life and Times of Edmund Burke ;" it is ably written, and is peculiarly appropriate in the pages o f a magazine which belongs to the country that is proud to rank Burke in the role of her glorious and gifted sons. It is here stated that "no moi ment was raised to him in St. Paul's—his statue is not in the streets or squares of the cities of Er g land ; and even in the country of his birth, for which he toiled nobly to the last, and of wiles rights he was the first, the greatest, and the wisest advocate, the name of Edmund Burke is not often mentioned, and yet, in the phrase of Thuey dides, "he has not died without a witness." In conclusion, it is said—" We may claim for Edmund Burke the reputation of being tile deepest thinker, the most philosophic speaker, and one of the most noble minded men who ever adorned the Parlia mentary annals of England." We commend this admirable artiPlP t 9 tllt✓ notice of reWlerl as ft fair exposition of the career of a great statesman of our history. Fraser's Magazine. The opening article in this magazine will proba bly attract considerable attention among readers of literary tastes. It consists of seventeen letters addressed by the poet Shelley to the author of " Headlong Hall." An old-established friendship subsisted between them, and the correspondence was frequent and confidential. Thirteen of the poet's letters have been published by Mrs. Shelley, and the present selection adds seventeen to the num ber. They have never before been published, and as there is little personal matter contained in them, since they chiefly consist ofallusions to the poet's studies or literary labours, and of descriptions of the beautiful land he was then sojourning in, few could cavil at their publication. The peculiar cha racteristics of the poet are easily discernible. His enthusiastic love of the beautiful lends fervour and eloquence to his description of Italian art and scenery. The allusions to current events, and to his own pursuits and endeavours, cannot fail to in terest the reader of kindred sympathies. The con stantincidental references to sickness and sorrow re mind the reader painfully of the poet's own de scription of the gifted ones of humanity—. They learn in suffering what they teach in song." The pleasant essay writer who has so often contri buted to these pages, furnishes an essay which, un fortunately, addresses itself to most of us. It is entitled, "Concerning the Worries of Life, and How to Meet them," and contains much sound and sensible advice as to how to meet and conquer these for midable enemies. We commend all who are in the habit of making mountains of molehills and of hugging their own miseries 'to follow the plan here recommended. Perhaps the article in question is somewhat diffuse, and certainly the " worries " it refers to are among the slighter evils of life, but the writer claims exemption for that which he leaves unsaid. He remarks that no critic has done justice to the modest word " Concerning," which heads each of his papers, and which hints that though the essay may say various things on a subject it does not pretend to exhaust it. The interesting story of " Holmby House" is brought to a conclusion in this number. It maintains its previous character, and gratifies the reader by making all the lovers happy, a reward they have certainly earned by their many misfortunes and disappointments. A paper on "Female Labour" discusses, though it does not dispose of, a very important subject. We commend the article which follows it to the careful consideration of our peacemongers. It bears the somewhat ominous title of " Louis Napoleon's Intentions tested by his Conduct," and at the pre sent epoch the facts it sets forward should not be absent from the minds of Englishmen. The third chapter of the series of papers on " The Literary Suburb of the Eighteenth Century" contains much pleasant reading, and apparently terminates the essay. Madame Recamier is the subject of an article whose penetrating criticism is a little too keen for the artificial though brilliant heroine of Parisian salons. Two of the concluding essays touch upon the great political topic of the day. The wine question is reviewed in the first at some length and thoroughly examined and discussed in all its bear ings. The second is an extended criticism on the Budget by no less an authority than Professor Leone Levi. It goes over the old round of argu ments so fashionable at the present day. The labouring classes share in the advantages and pro tection afforded by good government, and therefore should share the taxes, we are told, though if the advantages derived from the laws, and the relative nature of income be adjusted with perfect equity, we have a strong suspicion that our financial sys tem would receive a severe shock. Notwithstand ing the general approval of the Budget and Treaty, which the writer expresses, however, he finds many points to censure, as, indeed, all unbiassed and un prejudiced men must do. As is too common with the advocates of commercial enterprise, we meet with the old recommendation of mutual disarma ment among the Great Powers. Two brief poetical contributions have no particular merit to recommend them. The New Monthly Magazine. A lengthened paper on the question that is just now occupying so much of the public attention, opens this number. It takes into consideration the varying aspects of " Commercial and Industrial Re form in France," though we cannot altogether coincide in the conclusions at which the writer arrives. It is followed by the third part of the tale of " East Lynne," in which the story advances con siderably. The characters are interesting and the general style is as easy and natural as is generally the case with this author's writings. Sir Nathaniel devotes this number of his Notes on Noteworthies to Epictetus and the stoic philosophy. It is, as usual, full of quotation and historical allusion, and it is curious to notice what persons were most en thusiastic in praise of the stoic and his writings. The diary of Richard Symonds affords some inte resting material for a brief paper. Another of the series of " Stereoscopic Glimpses," by W. C. Kent, shows us Wordsworth at Rydal, and pictures the bard of the lakes in his peaceful and philosophic retirement, planning— " A calm excursion through green English lanes." " A Poet's Wife " gives us a portrait of Charlotte von Schiller, who was a charming and womanly character, more fitted to appreciate and sympathise with her gifted husband, than is often the case, with women in a similar position. Among the remaining papers are sketches of a holiday tour in Spain, and a story, taken from the Swedish of Uncle Adam. Tice United Service Magazine. The United S erv i ce con t a i ns a s h ort b u t very a bl e artisle on the all-important subject of the annexa non of the provinces of Savoy and Nice to France. It is really quite refreshing, after witnessing the arguments with which nearly all the London press endeavour to justify and uphold the questionable policy of their particular factions, and the un- English and servile conduct of the make-believe Liberals, to find that the periodical press has not altogether forgotten what is due to our national character. The writer of this article conceives that the annexation of these provinces is but the foreshadowing of future absorption of other terri• tory ; that, in despite of the treaty of 1815, Switzerland, will become the next victim ; and he goes on to state, that " France is striving hard to procure the cession of the so-called Dappen-Thal, or valley of the Dappes, which would give her not only a military station, but the command of the road to Geneva and Italy." The comments on the Russian official account of the siege of Sebastopol are little more than a recapitulation of facts with which the public are well conversant ; nevertheless, the publication of a history of that memorable siege by any enemy, in which it is proved beyond all possible doubt that the privations suffered by the allies were of their own seeking—that the town could have been easily taken had there been a general worthy of so responsible a post as the com mander of the Anglo-Galic army, leads us to ex claim,— " Oh for an hour of Wallace wight, Or well-skilled Bruce to rule the fight !" The material was there, but the Horseguards' au thority would not apply it. In the comparison be tween the Armstrong and Whitworth guns, ju s ti ce is not done to Mr. Whitworth. Without wishing in the least to depreciate the great invention of Sir W. Armstrong, we see no reason why others should be kept out of the field. The greater the competi tion and rivalry the surer is the nation to be fur nished with an efficient gun. Macmillan's Magazine. The continuation of " Tom Brown at Oxford" is the first subject that greets the reader in opening this magazine. A discourse on the general prin ciples of a " gown and town row," and the relative capabilities of gentlemen t.nd commoners, and an animated description of a boat race form the chief' features of this iltstalment. Our friend Tom seems, however, somewhat likely to get into difficulties, notwithstanding his successful boating. The next paper addresses itself to the more serious reader, being entitled " The Grenvilles ; Government by families," and discusses the prominent part which that family took in the direction of public affairs, and the influence they exercised, after a fashion not yet out of date, amo4. our Whir , potentates. In c ommenting on th e hereditary talent 6 of which the last generation furnished so many eminent examples, the Nriter remarks, " In a competition open to all the nobility and gentry of England, the highest prize was won in succession by three or four sons of fathers who had held the same position. The principal Ministers and Parliamentary leaders be tween the death of Pelham and the American war were Pitt, Fox, and Grenville; the principal Ministers and Parliamentary leaders between the American war and the regency, were again Pitt, Fox, and Grenville." Among other in stances he cites Mr. Jenkinson, father of that Earl of Liverpool who held such a lengthened tenure of office as Prime Minister; the son of Lord Hardwicke, who died Lord Chan cellor, and Charles Townshend, who was son of the famous minister of George I. In many of these instances, it is observed that the accident of birth had little to do with political advancement, since Lord Holland was at the time of his son's entry into public life, the most unpopular man in En. , land, and disliked by the King ; whil e neither Lord Chatham'nor Mr. Grenville lived to see their success.ors take part in political affairs. A paper on English etymology has some curious informa yorcb, An es s ay tion respecting the deriyation • - • on " The Revivals of 1859," has some sensible comments on its peculiar features, but the quota tions made from a work by President Edwards on the same subject contain passages not more shocking and repulsive to the common sense and feeling of human nature than they are diametri cally opposed to the letter and spirit of Christian teaching. Who, for instance, can read of his asser• tion that, " Innocent as children seem to be to us, yet if they are out of Christ, they are not so in God's sight, but are young vipers and infinitely more hateful than vipers," without recalling the words of a greater Teacher, " Of such is the king dom of Heaven." The extracts here given add to the many melancholy instances where the carrying out of a theological system of human framiig have left their followers further removed from the true spirit of the Divine teaching than the heathers they endeavour to convert. An article on classical music discourses on the antipathy felt by some to the severe school of music. We are glad to think, however, that the appreciation of this style of music is largely increasing among us. Mr. Smiles's valuable work on " Self Help" furnishes matter for an interesting article. The Cornhill Magazine. Mr. Thackeray's magazine justifies the promises with which it opened. We hardly thought No. 2 qUite equal to No. 1, but No. 3 is again an im provement on its predecessors. The serial tales by the editor and Mr. Anthony Trolloppe continue with unabated interest—the interest in both cases appertaining rather to the manner than the matter of the narration. As a story-teller Mr. Thackeray is one of the most inartistic, rambling, colloquial, delightful gossips possible. Rightly does he call himself in another series (the Roundabout Papers), Mr. Roundabout, for he enc i rc l es hi s su bj ects w i t h all possible involutions, but so attractive is his manner that we follow him through the maze with fascinated attention. Mr. Trolloppe, on the other hand, relates his history in a quiet, business-like, unaffected manner, which has a charm about it, already recognised by many admirers. " Studies in Animal Life" introduces us this month to many unheeded marvels of the animal world, among others the star-fish, familiar to the wanderers by the sea-shore, and which so long dwelt in the boyish reminiscence or David Cep perfield. "A Winter Wedding-party in the Wilds is an amusing sketch, as natural as if drawn from reality—which perhaps it partly is. The " National Gallery diffi culty solved," is a subject to which we shall probably again refer. The paper is illustrated with various plans of proposed alterations. The second chapter of William Hogarth, describes him when Mr. Gamble's apprentice. Sir Joshua and Holbein is an article full of interest and well worthy of a thoughtful perusal. Speaking of Si r J os h ua ' s s t y l e the critic says "He is lily-sceptred, his power blos soms, but burdens not. All other men of equal dignity paint more stoutly ; all others of equal force paint less lightly. Tintoret lays his line: like a king marking the boundaries of conquered lands; but Sir Joshua leaves it as a summer wind its trace on a lake ; he could have painted on a silken veil, where it fell free, and. not bent it." Nevertheless, the same critic goes on to prove that while Reynolds was so happy in his drawings of ladies and gentlemen, he could not paint heroes, nor saints, nor angels. The Italian masters " painted not the court, nor the drawing room, but the earth, and not a little of heaven besides, while our good Sir Joshua never trusts himself outside the York palings. He could not even have drawn the strawberry girl unless she had got through a gap in them." The poetic contribu tions to this number consist in a pathetic little his tory of " Mabel," and some mysterious musical verses, entitled " The Ebingeburg." Baily's Monthly Magazine of Sports and .Pastimes, and Racing Register. Baily Brothers and Co. This record of sporting events gives fair promise in its first number of becoming both an interesting and instructive periodical, It commences with an engraving and biography of Vice-Admiral the Hon. Henry John Rous, as the first of a series of distin guished sportsmen ; followed by the first chapters of the adventures of Sydney Godolphin Yahoo, Est., by Francis Francis, a tale of the Moors, the beau ties of which may, perhaps, be forthcoming here after. The history (for we can call it by no other name) of the English racehorse, by the Hon. H. J. Rous is'given ; like the English people, it has been produced by the combination of various and anta gonistic races, and mongrel though it be, challenges the world, and has yet to find a conqueror. The first mention of horse races which is known, according to the author, was in the reign of Henry the Second, " when the Court and nobility attended the tournament at Smithfield during Lent, where the London citizens desported themselves in mar tial attire on horseback, and races were the order of the day." " From Oxford to St. George" is the beginning of a free and easy sketch of University lite, the writer of which wishes to impose on the present students of Oxford schoolboy restrictions, which when he was himself at college he would have been the first to kick against. All ruinous credit would be put a stop to if the heads of the University would protect its members, and discoun tenance any tradesman who should endeavour to recover at law a debt incurred by any member of the University while in static pupulari. The evil would work its own cure, and parents, guardians, and greenhorns would be thus saved vast inconve nience, and the character of our Universities main tained. We should much prefer the use of an in telligible S in this magazine rather than the obso lete, old-fashioned form in use in the past century. AMERICA. The following telegram has also been received at Mr. Reuter's office QUEENSTOWN, MARCH 4. The Royal Mail steamship Canada, Capt. Lang, which left Boston on the 22d and Halifax on the 24th ult., arrived here at 1 a.m., landed all the mails, and proceeded at 1 30 a.m. for Liverpool. She brings 54 passengers, but no specie. She was detained 12 hours off Halifax. The steamer Europa had arrived out. The steamer Hungarian was totally lost on the morning of the 20th, off Sable Island. It was feared that all on board had perished. Advices from San Francisco are to Jan. 30. Up wards of 100,000 signatures had been appended to the petition to the Legislature to prevent the im migration of the Chinese. The markets were dull. Mexico dates are to the 13th of February. The country continued to be in a very distracted state. Large bodies of liberals were marching to join Mir anion) who, it was thought, would be defeated. WASHINGTON, FEB. 21.

(LATER FROM HALIFAX.) FBB. 23. _ The loss of the Hungarian, with all on board, is fully confirmed. She was wrecked off Cape Sable on Sunday morning, the 19th of February. Her lights were seen at 4 o'clock in the morning, and disappeared at daybreak. Six mail-bags floated ashore. It is certain that there are no survivors. The Hungarian left Liverpool for Portland on the Sth of February, with about 35 passengers and a crew of 80 men. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY EVENING. The Cunard screw steamer Etna, Captain An derson, from New York, en the 22d ult. has arrived here. The Canada, which touched at Queenstown, this morning, has also arrived. She brings no details regarding the wreck of the Hungarian. Communication with the ship was impossible owing to a heavy sea. A portion of the vessel was visible at low water. A steamer had gone to the scene of the wreck; The papers contain nothing important besides that telegraphed from Queenstown. The Post-office had compelled telegrams to be sent through the mails ; consequently the later news via Halifax is,not procurable until Monday. The American Government had ordered troops into ChiuyAhaa to protect American citizens.
