The Money Market remains in a quiet state, owing to the moderate requirements for commercial purposes, and the, absence of active speculative adventure. No material alteration can yet be re• ported in the rates, but the tendency appears favourable, and a further decline in the minimum is not considered improbable in the course of a few Weeks. The Silver Market has been rather firmer since the arrival of the China letters, and it is expected that the next Calcutta steamer will convey a large remittance. About £30,000 in fine gold was taken out of the Bank yesterday, but a sum of £B,OOO in Russian gold was purchased. by that establishment. The market for Public Securities remains in a quiet state, and the few transactions which have taken place to-day have not led to any material alteration. At the same time, however, the tendency of prices is unfavourable. Consols being 94i 95 for money, and 95+, 1, for the account. The New Threes and Reduced are steady, at 934 s ; India New Loan at 106 i ; but the 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper is heavy, at 971 ; and Exchequer Bills remain at 9s. to 1 le. prem. Bank Stock is quoted 2294. Foreign Securities have been dealt in to a moderate extent, and prices exhibited a slight upward tendency. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 76 to 77 ; ditto New Loan, 59 to 60; Spanish were heavy at 48 ; Chilian were firm at 1021 ; Mexican at 214 ; Russian 41 per Cents. at 971 ; and Dutch 4 per Cents. advanced to 1011 The Ocean Marine Instirance shares are 2- 1 , prem. ; the Universals s prem., and the Thames and Mersey 1 :1 prem. The shares of the Thessalian Mining Company are 7,- .1 prem. Business in the Liverpool cotton market yester day was rather more active, and prices were steady, with the exception of inferior American, which was a trifle lower. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under : 1860. Great Western .. £35,630 . .

The unfortunate " Jack" was laid hold , f by two girls, supposed to be the associates of the prisoner, and robbed of all his clothes and 67 sovereigns.

CAPS IZING OF A YACHT.—On. Tuesday afternoon, shortly before 5 o'clock, an exciting scene occured on the Thames, near Oil Battersea-bridge, owing to the upsetting of the yacht President, which had been engaged in th e Ranelagh Y acht Match but a short time previously. It appeared th a t at the conclusion of the match the owner of the President, a gentleman named Gambadelli, took up his wife and daughter, the latter about 12 years of age, and a gentleman. The number of p ersons then in the vessel , including two ship boys, amounted to six. The vessel tacked about the river for some • ime, when Mr. Gambadelli, at a short distance from the shore, endeavoured to reach over for something on deck, having at the same time charge -of the main sheet. The sheet becoming slackened, a gust of wind mo nentarily seized it, and overturning the balance, the sails became immersed. The occupants of the vessel were instantly thrown from their seats, but fortunately fell into the belly of the sail, and became immersed up to their armpits. Mr. Garabadelli extricated himself, and striding the stern of the yacht, he commanded the others to hold on tightly. Several boats were at once Manned from the shore and proceeded to the rescue. The daughter was first extri cated, but some difficulty was experienced with respect to Mrs. Gambadelli, who was for a time entirely lost sight of by the anxious spectators on shore. She had almost dis appeared, when her husband frantically seized her, and by main strength held her until relieved by the attendant boatmen.

If the admiring letters of Kings, Dukes, and Princes were only worthy of con temptuous critiscism, why preserve them and forward them to his friend to read, and afterwards publish ? Was it from a wish to elevate himself at the same time that he depreciated his titled cor respondents ? Remembering how much the world owes to the author of " Cosmos,' we would rather have remained ignorant of these ungenial charac teristics. We would fain have believed that the mighty intellect was accompanied by as large a heart ; that the greatest general philosopher of our time could appreciate and accept the homage ten dered him by less conspicuously gifted mortals, not with the coldness of the cynic, but with the humility of a truly great mind, owning its advance in the steep ascent of knowledge above its fellows, but recognising the distance that yet remained between the loftiest achievement of human powers, and the full development of the majestic laws of creation. En the preface to the third edition, published in Germany, the editress answers at some length the objections which have been raised to the publica tion of these letters. She says of Humboldt—" It was his wish that his convictions should not be liable to be discussed. He had willed that the picture of his mind should go down to posterity pure and unfalsified. A giant intellect, so fervently venerated and acknowledged by his nation, that the mere fact of his views being known on certain questions may exert the most powerful and incal culable infiucnce on the people and its progress. It was that very reason which made him wish that the whole people should be granted access to the workings of his innermost mind." That the reve lation of the Liberal sympathies and tendencies of so great an authority may forward the develop ment of Liberal principles in Germany we heartily wish ; and had his political, literary, and social views been alone expressed in these letters, they would have been justifiably public property. How ever, as the translator observes, this vexed question is one with which the English public has nothing to do, and that they will readily avail themselves of the opportunity of reading the volume before us we have no doubt. The letters from such men as Arago, Herschel, Sir Robert Peel, Metternich, Victor Hugo, Manzoni, and Thiers, would alone invest it with interest, independently of its own individual attractions. One of the most interesting letters in the volume is the followin,g, which gives Humboldt's own account of his magnificent work : Chilcote Park ; or, The Sisters. By the Author of " Likes and Dislikes." J. W. Parker, West Strand. This little book is written in a very attractive manner, and is altogether out of the common in its style. The characters are exceedingly well drawn, and although the first story is exceedingly melan choly, and the second contains much that is of a painful nature, still there is something irresistibly fascinating in the perusal of the book. Those tales are the most effective that do not attempt to create an eclat for themselves out of nothing, that do not strive after effect and struggle to seem simple, hut let things take their course, and when light and shade alternately illumine and obscure the humanity of which they treat, they . let the readers judge for themselves as to the brightness of the day of joy or the gloom of the night of sorrow. This little work is replete with the truest discernment and the nicest discrimination. Bertha is an exact counterpart of a young girl thoroughly spoiled, and yet when she would allow herself to be natural, of a loveable disposition and a fascinat ing manner. Her early death is very sad, and doubly so as her sister was thus so painfully de serted.. The second pertion of the book refers to Agnes, and her adventures are of a most romantic class. It was finally, her dreadful fate to undergo one of the most terrific visitations that can befal a human being—to be shut in a sane condition within the walls of a mad-house. In the last struggle, however, she turned on her destroyers, and defeated them in their hour of pride, and as they thought their day of victory. Agnes was of a brave spirit, and the thought of danger gave her strength and roused her courage in a conflict far harder than the fiercest battle-field, and when threatened by a fate more cruel than even the tribunal of the dark Inquisition used to inflict in its inmost cells. In one point Agnes was mistaken. Mercy is a God-like feeling ; but justice is the first consideration in an affair of this sort. For the sake of society, whose vital principles are affected to their foundations, for the sake of the laws of man that are cruelly violated, and the commandments of Heaven that are thus trampled under foot, no one is justified in not bringing to open shame the per sons who immure their fellow beings in an asylum, knowing them in their hearts to be in the full pos session of their senses. If it is only to deter others from following their example, it is requisite, but to protect other victims and discover other oppressors, it is a solemn duty not to pass lightly by, and compromise the guilty as Agnes did. Doctor Martin is a fine character, who is one of the redeeming persons met with in these chronicles of guilt and gloom. Altogether this story is of great interest, and displays sufficient ability to render it a desirable study to those who desire something more than mere amusement. In these graphic pages some of the most prominent sorrows, sharpest sufferings, and most deadly sins of human nature arc disclosed with a sympathy that touches, a reality that stirs the feelings, and a vividness that rouses the indignation of the be holders. When we stand at the couch of the dying Bertha, and see her sinking in the sunshine of beauty, youth, and love, into the cold and. dark abyss of the grave, we know that it is a scene that the sons of Adam must pass through, again and again, till the curtain of oblivion bas been drawn around themselves, and for them the things of time are lost in eternity; yet not the less do we feel the effect of the repre sentation for its oft rehearsal in every age and clime. One of the most striking lessons of the story is here given. Bertha, in her innocence and gentleness, had done no wrong, but she did fear death ; she did not look to a better world with the confidence that is often most freely expressed by those who die surrounded by all that makes life precious. This was the sting of the parting for the agonised group who sat under the orange trees gazing on the Atlas Mountains. When we enter with Agnes the awful dwelling-house of madness, a far darker night than that of the grave enshroud ed the prospect, and the pain is increased by the re flection that many crossed that threshold as sound in mind as she who was taken in the toils of a wicked plotter, and brought to be an offering on the shrine of their greediness fur gold. Of all the crimes committed for that purpose, this ranks in the first order of guilt ; and this surely will call for the most dreadful doom when the destroyers of their brother's intellects stand before the Judge who created them, and from whom not the closest secrets of the asylum ate hid. The records of some of these retreats, especially before the recent improvements, would furnish horrors that no language can ade quately tell, and must stand out in the blackest cha racters in the chronicles of the recording angel's testimony. " Chileote Park" will most likely gain a favourable reception on account of its vigorous expression and vivid delineations, the interest of its style and the freedom of its sketches. In its limited range it has compressed as much that occurs in far more discursive narra tives, and altogether it is an excellent production of its class—a class that cannot be too widely known or too highly recommended—of moral stories which contain lessons none are too old to learn nor too wise not to stand in need of. Some very mistaken critics have abused this style, and said let one be amused at one time, and read a ser mon when one is to be pious. The real iilust.ra tration of the events of daily life presents truths as sublime, thoughts as beautiful, and hopes as sacred as any that the most learned preacher ever ex pounded. Those who listen to sermons are the first to acknowledge the merit of worthy attempts to benefit society, and to welcome the appearance of anything attractive in the right road. They give instances, furnish examples, and present warn ings in a way recognisable by all, and that may teach some whom subtle arguments could never reach, and cold maxims never impress. It is one thing to lay down a rule and another to apply it ; in such a case it is applied in the living example before us, and these after all, and not the theorist, are walking the way that we must walk. It is no fanciful allegory nor region of illusion, for the heroes and heroines are climbing, the hills of difficulty that over and over again we must mount, and it would be well if, like them, we followed the wind ings of the path that leads to the Palace Beautiful and the Chamber of Peace. Such representations of the minor trials and petty cares of life are al ways desirable, when they are told in a true spirit and with a right purpose. If they eschew the dogmas of stoics, and do not deny that small troubles are hard to bear, amd do not declare that pain is of no consequence, and only to be laughed at—if they do not fall into the opposite extreme of the Methodist, and proclaim this beautiful world as nothing but a vale of tears, and all enjoyment sinful, and all hope s of comfort impossible. If, avoiding these er rors , they show the merc i es that abound, while they do not deny the trials that are so numerous—if they picture souse calmly bearing injustice, otherspining under anguish in patience, and many wearing a smile with an aching heart, to spare the feelings of others surely such examples may be followed with benefits to others and blessings to ourselves. If they go on to show that the hardest struggles are soon over, the most intricate paths made straight, and the bitterest sufferings soothed, if we have faith to trust, courage to endure, and honesty to guide us, arc not these the truths taught by sages and the steps trodden by saints ? Is it not the wisest and the highest counsel to impart to.aspiring youth, care-ridden manhood, and trembling age to enjoy the good gifts of the world, but when the evil days come to remember that this world only was not made for them, but those who ever seek to perform their duties fuithfully can never finally - fail—if they fight in the hardest battles of life, they will come out snore than conquerors, when death calls them away, if they carry the cross on earth, they shall wear the crown in heaven. If these truths are ever so faintly foreshadowed, if these i hopes are ever so feebly imparted, the work is in the right road, and the promise is fair to the seed thus sown that it shall flourish abundantly here and hereafter. Those who set forth to pioneer us in our daily paths are as good angels heralding the right steps to take on the heavenward track, as the poetess has finely expressed :- 4 , Shall not such lessons teach aright, and bid vain conflicts cease I Aye, when we commune with ourselves, in holy hours of peace, And feel that by the light and shade through which our pathway lies, By the beauty and the grief alike, we are training for the skies." Lte of Alexander von Humboldt to Vurnhogen Lon rs I use. Authorised Transl a tion. Trubner evt & Co. The publication of the correspondence of a de parted celebrity cannot fail to awaken a consider able degree of interest, although a s trong doubt arises in the readers mind as to the wisdom if not the propriety of such a proc ee di ng. I n t h e presen t case there can be little question th a t th e pro d uc ti on of these letters will not , enhance th e re p u t a tion of the great natural philosopher. It would be unjust to attach blame to the fair editr ess , s i nce s he fol lowed the positive instructions of h er unc l e and his illustrious friend, but it is neverth e l ess muc h to be regretted that this collection of letters should have seen the light. They in nowise interfere with the lofty reputation of the man of s c i e nce ; it is his individual disposition as a man th a t th e y depreciate in our eyes. A certain cold hearted cynicism and . absence of geniality. , a total want of ki n dly feeling in return for the tributes, doubtless genuine, paid him from so many quarters, and withal a degree of self satisfaction and superiority to the rest of F mankiud, are appureat iti theq and repel the Share Share .111 113 206 209 63 65 115 120 94 97 MISCELLANEOUS Anglo-Mexican Mint ..

The mad fancy has seized ine of representing ill s:ngle work the whole material world—all that is known to us as the phenomena of heavenly space and terrestrial life, from the nebula, of stars to the geographical distribution of mosses on granite rocks, and this in a work in which a lively style shall at once interest and charm. Each great and important principle, wherever it appears to lurk, is to be mentioned in connection with facts. It must represent an epoch in the mental development of man as regards his knowledge of natur e. The prolegomena are nearly ready, containing—The inaugural lecture entirely re-cast (I deli vered it viva voce, but dictated it the same day) ; the picture of nature ; inducements to the pursuit of natural philo sophy obe found in the spirit of the age, which are three fold-1. Podsie descriptive, and vivid pictures of scenery in modern travels. 2. Landscape-painting, visible represen tations of exotic life—its origin—when it became a necessity of life and a source of exquisite delight; why the ancients, wish their desire to gratify the senses, could not have pos sessed it. 3. The vegetable kingdom, classification accord ing to the characteristics of the plants (not botanical garden fasion), the history of the physical description of the world; how the idea of the universe—of the connection be tween all phenomena, has been becoming clear to different nations in the course of centuries. The prolegomena form the most important part of the work, and contain, first, the general heads. They are followed by one special part comprehend ing the detail (I enclose part of a tabulated list) :—Space— the physics of astronomy—the solid portion of the globe — its interior and exterior—the electro-magnetista of the in terior —Volcanism, i.e., the reaction of the interior of a planet upon its surface—the arrangement of matter—a short Ueognosy sea—atmosphere—climate—organic life —distribution of plants—distribution of animals—races of man—languages—and so on, to show that their physical organisat'on (the articulation of sound) is governed by in telligence (the produce and manifestation ef which is speech). In the special part all statistical results, as exact as in La place's Exposition du Syst(Thre du Monde.' As these de tails are not capable of being treated from a literary point of view, in the same way as the general combinations of natural science, the pure facts will be stated in short sen tences, arranged almost tabularly, so that the student, in a few pages, may find under the head of Climate, Terrestial Magnetism, &e , results, in a condensed form, which it would take many years of study to acquire. Uniformity of style (i.e., harmony in the whole as a literary produc tion) wilt be attained by short introductions to each chap ter in the special part. Ottfried Muller has followed this plan with great success in his admirably-written work on Archxology. " I wanted you, my dear friend to have from me perso nally a clear idea of my undertaking. I have not succeeded in compressing the whole into one volume, and yet it would have left the grandest impression in that abbreviated form. Those two volumes will include the whole. No foot-notes, but rotes at the end of each chapter, which may be passed over, but contain sound erudition and additional details. The whole is not what has hitherto been commonly called Physical Description of the Earth,' as it comprises all created things—Heaven and Earth. I began it in French fifteen years ago, and called it a Essai sur la Physique du Monde,' In Germany I in tended at first to call it Buck von der Natur,' after those we have in the mfdddle ages by Albertus Magnus. All these, however, are too vague. My title at present at present is Kosmos. Outlines of a description of the physical world, by A. V. H. ; enlarged from Sketches of Lectures delivered by him in 1827 and 1828. Cotta.' I wanted to add the word KOSMOS to force people indeed to call the book so, in order to avoid their speaking of it as H's physical descrip tion of the earth, and so throwing it into the class of such writers as Mitterfacher. Weltbeschreibung (description of the World), a term analogous to IVeltgeschichte, (history of the World), would, as an unusual word, be confoundded with Erdbeschreibung, (history of the earth). I know that Kosmos is very grand, and not without a certain tinge of affectation ; but the title contains a striking word, meaning both heaven and earth, and stands in contrast to the ' Giia,' (that rather indifferent earthy book of Professor Zeune, true Erdbeschreibung). My brother, too, is for the title Kosmos ;' I was long in doubt about it." Christ in Life ; Life in Christ. By J. C. M. Bellew. London, 1860. Chapman and Hall. Bvo., pp. 397. (Second notice). It has been well observed by a very eminent critic that no oratory can be printed entire—that every speaker, every preacher who is not absolutely dull and phlegmatic says something far more through his tones, or eye, or gestures than his bare words can tell. True as this remark is in its general bearing, it applies with particular force to such a man as Mr. Bellew, who as a preacher is perhaps unrivalled in all that regards manner and the graces of oratory and elocution, and dissevered from which the most powerful passages and the noblest imagery lose half their vitality and force. To those who heard all or any of the sermons in the volume before us the power of association belongs, and in reading them they will be enabled again to call up vividly t h e re membrance of the voice, eye, and manner which invested them with so great a charm. Those who were hearers then will now become readers with a far higher degree of gratification necessarily than persons to whom these sermons are presented for the first time. But still even the latter may . peruse them alike with pleasure and advantage, for in all that Mr. Bellew writes there is a healthy vigorous tone and a wide catholic spirit of love and charity towards all men, that must find a respon sive echo in the breasts of all true-hearted Chris tians. As a striking proof of what we mean we would refer the reader to the sermons respectively entitled Friendship, Tenderness, Fidelity, Integrity, and Brotherly Kindness and Charity. No man, we apprehend, can read any of these discourses with out being strongly impressed. with a sense of their truth and beauty. From the last of the sermons we have named we quote one passage which forcibly struck us at the time we heard it : " In ancient Rome a being st:od helpless and alone in the midst of the great amphitheatre, surrounded by the Senate, the patricians, the flower of the Roman youth, the heroes and the orators of the eternal city. Appeal he had none, but he raised his hand aloft and cried—' I am a Ro man citizen,' and straightway the assembled multitude rose as one man, and the blue vault above echoed the shout of sympathy which like a nation's anthem rose to Heaven. So should it be with us. The stranger, naked, hungry, and destitute, may have no appeal to make to us, while he stands in the midst of the great theatre of life, but when he lifts his helpless and beseeching hands to us, he is a liar who says, ' I love God, but love not thee as my brother also I ' " Let me insist once more upon the unlimited, unreserved principle of this new commandment, that he who loveth God loves his brother also. Christ says that to one of the least of these, even a stranger, this debt of humanity is due. Now, among Christians there is a very general principle of endeavouring to do good ; but limiting the boundaries of their charities to their pews and their churches, and those with whom they have especial and particular sympathy. To deny the inclination of the heart to benefit those whom opinion, or circumstance, or affection place near us, would be absurd. It would not be absurd only, but not so to act would be wicked." One of the sermons that we commend most earnestly to the attention of the thoughtful inquirer is that which bears as its title " Superstition and Unbelief," and takes as its subject the parable of Dives and Lazarus. The following passage, which occurs towards its close, is well worth quotation : " The evidence of our Saviour in this parable shows the folly of superstitious belief. It proves to us that the agency of the dead would be useless and insufficient to create true religion in the heart, and to promote its conversion to God. It is moral blasphemy to God to entertain such a supposi tion ; for what would be its logical result, but the confes sion that man, an inferior agent, and the mere creature of God himself, by a revisitation of the world, could, through the terrors awl excitements of an unnatural agency, pro duce in the hearts of those living on earth, those convictions regarding God, judgment, and eternity, which God himself, the maker of man, the creator of the universe, the supreme lawgiver, the great instructor, the divine enunciator of whatever is naturally, reasonably, eternally requisite for the conversion of the soul,. had shown himself unequal to effect by the practical failure of his own ordinances in pro ducing that desired result." Of a very different. character, but equal excel lence, is the sermon entitled " Thoroughness." What a noble simplicity is there in • the following words " Whatever we have to do, let us do it well, let us do it thoroughly, lct us do it as if our hearts were in the work ; no matter how commonplace, no matter how trivial, no matter how minute, Whatever lieoiuu re 4104 t 1a011.14 bp done in a becoming manner ; and when I incite you to avoid display and cultivate devotion, when I remind you that the service of Christ belongs not to us, his priests, but equally and co-extensively to you, his people, I am sure, after what I have just related to you, no prope? right minded person can mistake my motive, or fail to see that I have honestly and heartily but one aim—to impress thoroughness upon your lives, uron your acts, upon your hearts." It is evident, from a very cursory examination of these sermons, that Mr. Bellew is endowed with an ardent love of nature and of life in all their myriad forms and phases. His travels in the Holy Land, and other parts of the East, seem to have left the most vivid impression on his mind. They cast a glowing light throughout these pages, and some of the de scriptions of Eastern scenery which occur in the course of the sermons devoted to the aspect of the Saviour's character, exhibited by the various earthly incidents through which he passed (" Christ in Life"), arc marvellous instances of what is now popularly known as "word-painting." The ser mons, which bear the titles of " The Seal of Earth," "Our Leader," and " The Mental Agony," contain some very striking illustrations of this remark, and we only regret that want of space compels us ne cessarily to forbear quoting the passages at length. What we have said already will, however, be suf ficient, we hope, to show what a high ,opinion we entertain of Mr. Bellew's new volume, and tend to secure for it a wide and influential circle of readers. Bible ,Fervants, and Jr but they Teach us. By the Rev. John Letts, Domestic Chaplain to Earl Ferrers. London : Seeley and Co. This is exactly the book for a master or mistress to give to a domestic of either sex or of any age. It consists simply of narratives of the lives and characters of those personages mentioned in the Old and New Testaments, as having held positions of trust and cubservience to those placed in autho rity over them ; the individual peculiarities of each being carefully noticed and judiciously commented on, and the lessons to be drawn therefrom practi cally considered and enforced. The language in which Mr. Letts' timely little volume is written is simple but earnest—just such as the nature of the work demands—and we do not doubt that it will do much to strengthen the ties of mutual respect and esteem, which ought, at all events, to bind master and servant to each other. MISCELLANEOUS MAGAZINES. The Church (f England „Monthly I?erictv is, as usual, distinguished by a high order of litarary abiEty and great liberality of opinion. It opens with a very able and eloquently written article on "The Crusades," which will repay perusal. " Joan of Arc" is the title of a paper which criticises two recent works on the career of the Maid of Orleans. An essay on " The Mill on the Fioss" pays a well-deserved tribute to the genius of the author, and the high moral tone of the book.— he Eclectic, though it contains lengthened articles on the proposed " Revision of the Liturgy," and on" The Papacy," has also many subjects of less controversial character and more general inte rest. Prominent among these are the conclusion of Mr. Baldwin Brown's account of " The Great Armada," and the first part of" A Sketch of Clare mont and the days of the Princess Charlotte," by the accomplished authoress of " Mary Powell," and many other delightful works. An article headed "By the River's Side," has some curious information respecting the banks of Old Father ' Thatnes.—The Family Economist is a very excel lent cheap periodical for the household circle. Without any striking characteristics, or peculiarly distinctive features, it gives a variety of general everyday information,pleasantly enlivened by tales, sketches, poems, and miscellaneous paragraphs of every description.—The Welcome Guest is more smart and lively in its style, and aims rather at entertaining its readers than at providing a useful household iniscella.ny. It has seine good names among its contributors, and will probably be found very entertaining, by some classes of readers. — Newton's London Journal of Arts and Sciences has an introductory paper on "Artistic Copyright Reform," and its customary list. of recent patents. The reports at the Scientific Institutions give some interesting summaries of the papers read at the meetings.—The National ...11agazine has several pleasing domestic stories and amusing sketches. It has considerably improved under the new management. The editor continues his Parlia mentary sketches, and gives a place in his gallery of portraits to the Right Hon. Sidney Herbert.— , Le Follet shows us its customary array of fashion able figures, and chronicles the various changes of attire saitable for the season ; furnishing, besides, all requisite information concerning matters of the toilette.—Cassell's publications maintain their usual character, giving a very fair degree of infor mation, or entertainment, for a very low price. The Illustrated Family Bible seems likely to be an admirable edition. The Ladies' Treasury, and Cassell's Family Paper, are very good of their kind, and we are glad to sec healthy and harmless literature competing with the worthless proauc . liens that are so widely diffused at a very low price. THL9 _I) 41" S MARKETS. THE LA2 E WILLIAM BUTTERWORT II BAYLEY: The grave has just closed over another—it might almost be said the last—of those representatives of the old school of Indian statesmanship who served under the two Wellesleys at the dawn of the pre sent century, and rose through all the gradations of the once famous Company's service to high sta tion and to high honour by their own successful exertions. William Butterworth Bayley died last week, full of years, at St. Leonard's. History may not place him in the front rank with Metcalfe, Elphinstone, Malcolm, and Munro ; but he was in many respects a remarkable man, and as he supple mented his 30 years of Indian service by another quarter of a century spent in the councils of Lead enhall-street, he was a truer type of the genuine Company's servant than any one of the contempo- rarics whom we have named. A younger son of a Lancashire gentleman of high character and position, William Butterworth Bayley was educated at Eton, where he acquired a large stock of classical learning, subsequently aug ment by a brief residence at Cambridge. These studies, in which he dearly delighted, were broken in upon by the announcement of an appointment to the Indian Civil Service, at a time when such ap pointments were of substantial value ; and a few weeks before the close of the last century he en tered upon his career of Indian service at Calcutta. Lord Wellesley was at that time incubating his darling project of the College of Fort William, and in the course of the following year the institution was established. Young Bayley was one of its earliest and most distinguished alumni. He passed out with great honour, and was one of the " boys " selected by the Governor-General for the confiden tial duties of his own office, in one of the most momentous epochs of our Indian history. He did not, however, in that situation though brought face to face with the stirring incidents of a great political crisis, generate, as did some of his associates, an ambitious desire to take part in the strenuous activities of diplomacy, but chose the judicial line of the public service and adhered to it throughout all the earlier part of his cal e.sr. In 1814 he was appointed to officiate as secretary in the Revenue and Judicial Departments, in which situation he was confirmed in the following year ; and in 1819 he was nominated Chief Secretary to the Supreme Government of India. In 1822, a temporary vacancy occurring in the Supreme Council, he was appointed to fill it, and in 1825 he was permanently appointed a member of the Go vernment. Lord Amherst was then Governor-Ge neral of India. In March, 1828, that nobleman embarked for England. Lord Wm. Benthiek had been appointed his successor, but had not yet ar rived, so Mr. Bayley, as senior member of Council, succeeded to the highest place in the Government of India. He filled the office of Governor-General for some months, and then resumed his scat as a member of Council. In the autumn of 1830 Lord William Bentinek quitted the Presidency on a tour to the Upper Provinces, and then Mr. Bayley be came President of the Council and Deputy-Gover nor of Bengal. But his five years in Council had now nearly expired, and on the Ilth of November he ceased to be a member of the Government. In the course of the following month he took ship and sailed for England. His career in India had bceu a distinguished and a most useful, but it had not been an eventful one. He had not been the hero of any of those exciting episodes which have surrounded with an atmo sphere of romance the lives of Elphinstone and Metcalfe. His work was not in the camp or at the durbar ; it was almost exclusively in the bureau or the cutcherry. His service was administrative service of the most valuable kind, but not such as affords materials to the biographer; and when he returned to England, after 30 years of this service, still in the prima of life, with an unbroken consti tution and an unimpaired capacity for work, his ambition sought nothing higher than a seat in the Council of that " Company of merchants trading to the East Indies" which he had served with so much fidelity and. zeal. It is a striking proof of the high character which he brought with him from India that he was re lieved from much of the drudgery of the canvass, and obtained the coveted seat in the Direction two years after his return from India. He then applied himself assiduously to the duties of his office, gain ing a high reputation in the Leadenhall-street Council, as a man of large general experience in Indian affairs, a remarkably sound judgment•, and of a temper which was seldom disturbed. Among his colleagues he was always peculiarly popular. Their affection was exalted by respect. They loved the man, and they deferred to his opinions. He was neither frequent nor fluent in debate, but a few weighty, well-directed words frcm him often determined a long.protracted.contest. In 1839 be was Deputy-Chairman, and in the following year Chairman of the Company ; and it is believed that at more than one subsequent period the chair was offered to him and declined, for he was essentially of an unambitious nature, and he shrank from public displays. He continued, however,' to take an active part in the administration; and when, in 854, it was decreed that the Court of Directors should select their worthiest members for conti- nuance in office, and conjectural lists of those mem bers were made in anticipation of the event, the name of Mr. Bayley was uniformly to be found at the head of them as the man whom every one of his colleagues was certain to select. But when, four years afterwards, the East India Company were deprived of their political powers, and another act, of self election was decreed, Mr. 13aylty intimated his intention of withdrawing altogether from public life, it was time, indeed, for him to yetirc, after 60 years of good service. The great Indian mutiny had been a severe blow to him, and his health had sensibly declined from the time of its first outbreak. He looked with distrust upon the new form of Government, and still more so upon the new•school opinions which were making their way, and said that it was time for him to be gone. His great natural vigour, however, was not easily sub dued, and he lingered until the 29th of May, 1860, retaining his intellectual faculties, and the sweet ness of disposition for which he was so distin guished, to the last. He was a model of a " Company's servant," as Company's servants were in their best days. In that sense ho was a " representative man," and there are few of his class not proud to be so repre sented—not because his name is associated with any lustrous exploits, but because he was a useful public servant, an honourable gentleman, and altogether r. fine specimen of manhood. Had he been of a more ambitious temper he might have done more for himself, but probably in that case he would have done less for India; for it is not by individual effort of wisdom or heroism that England has reared th great fabric of her Indian empire, and must hope to maintain it, but by sending forth a constant sue cession of high-principled English gentlemen, cor tent to labour quietly and obscurely, and to cor tribute their unappreciated share to the great su l total of good government. The " Company's sel vice" is now extinct; a new system is on its tria' but whatever may be the result of the experimen • whatever the character and career of the new rat of Indian statesmen, history will not refuse to honot the memory of those public servants, the growth an exclusive system, who sought no higher distini tion than that of being accounted worthy exempla in their generation of the genuine " Kampani-k, nuokur. AID TO GARIBALDI.—A meeting, called by ci eular, was held at Edinburgh on Tuesday, .4 to consid the propriety of commencing a subscription in aid of Gal baldi and the Italians." Mr. Moseman, Dean of Gni) presided. The following resolution, drawn out by Mr. Du can I\l'Laren, was proposed and seconded :—" That IL meeting deeply sympathises with the inhabitants of Sici in their efforts to free themselves from the cruel oppressif to which they have been so long subjected, and resolve open a subscription in testimony of their sympathy, and remit the amount of the same to the patriot Garibalc through the London committee, with the least possible d, lay." Mr. Richardson proposed the omission of the wor, " through the London committee," on the ground that was desirable not to merge Scotland with England in t) matter, but to show the people of Sicily that Scotland, as nation that had herself struggled for freedom, sympathis with their exertions to throw off the tyrant's yoke. (3% ral of the speakers expressed anxiety to keep their vrocee , ings unchallenged as regards legality in point of intern tional law ; but the statements that had been made in P' liament by Ministers, and the steps that had been tak elsewhere, were held as fully warranting the resolution: committee was appointed to institute a public sub.-;cripti , ) Kid the blll.ll of 4 . .3.; WB6 6ubz•cribed at t e table.
