THEATRE -ROYAL, HAYMARKET. Lessee, Mr. J. B. Buckstone. THIS EVENING, HALLOWE'EN. THE CONTESTED ELECTION. After which, OUT OF SIGHT OUT OF MIND. To conclude with A NABOB FOR AN HOUR. upon each and all of these in turn, as well as upon a variety of minor subjects incidentally introduced—Mr. COBDEN was alike dogmatic. As an illustration in point, take the allusions to our national defences, to foreign invasion, and to the relative strength of the French and the English maritime armaments. Throughout the whole of the member for Rochdale's arguments upon these subjects nothing could well be more overbearing than his tone, more inconsequential than his logic, or more unfairly one-sided than his statements. For the whole discussion as to the possibility of a foreign invasion he had no other phrase than the elegant one recently imported by himself from Ame rica, "a craze," "the English craze." For the com ments passed upon this "craze" by the press, he had no other or polite word than—" screech"—an epithet so peculiarly to his own liking, apparently, that he must needs repeat it. These are his words—" I don't want to curtail the liberty of the press ; so don't let them get up a screech against me, and say I want to put down the liberty of the press. But I ask these newspapers, in lending themselves to all this absurd screech about a French invasion, not to make me and the rest of my countrymen ridiculous in continuing this tone hereafter." That's the style—that is really and truly a pretty fair specimen of Mr. COBDEN'S tone and manner. Now, as to the one-sided way of his putting the facts, and applying historic precedents to his argument. Take what he doubtless conceives to be the strongest point in his reasoning against the declared necessity for superior maritime armaments on the part of England. "If you show yourselves," says Mr. COBDEN, " with ten or twelve line-of-battle ships sailing up and down the Mediterranean that Mediterranean which belongs as much to France as to us—l say no French Government will dare to disarm or re duce its navy while you have such a display on the French coast. For bear in mind that France has a sea-coast second only in extent to England, and her commerce is next in importance to our own. Will a proud nation like ourselves be content to see a vastly superior force at the entrance of her sea ports ? But it is said that France has no occasion to be afraid of England, that we have no intention of invading her; but if we consult history we find that whenever there has been an invasion between England and France, it has always been an inva sion of France by England, and not an invasion of England by France." To a superficial person this argument possibly appears quite unanswerable. But to a candid student of history, to one only moderately " up" in geography, to one who loves the 'whole truth, and not merely a bit of it—that soli— tary passage, brief though it is, swarms with shame less perversions of the truth, or with wilful evasions of it. For instance, the allusions to the Mediterra nean belonging quite as much to France as to England, is in direct contradiction to what is, in simple truth, the strength and the glory, the life and the soul of the British Empire—namely, its Maritime Supremacy ! The assertion, again, that France has a sea-coast second only to England is as monstrous as the disproportion between the coast line of the French Empire under NAPOLEON 111. , and the coast-line of all that stupendous empire which owns allegiance to VICTORIA, as Queen of Great Britain, and Ireland, and of all the dependen cies thereof in Europe, Asia, Africa, America, and Australasia ? While the remarks about consulting history only to find that whenever there has been an invasion between England and France, it has always been an invasion of France by England and not an invasion of England by France—puts altogether out of view, first of all, the grand and successful invasion of England by:the Normans under WILLIAM the Conqueror, and that other far more grand end far more formidable invasion of Eng land, prepared in 1804, by an immeasurably greater warrior than WILLIAM —immeasurably greater in genius, and immeasurably greater as a Conqueror— the Emperor NAPOLEON the Great, uncle of the pre sent ruler of those 36,000,000 of Frenchmen. What has once been done might be repeated. What has once been attempted might be again attempted. That is the sum of the whole argument for the ex tension and reorganisation of our national defences. England is too great, is too wealthy, is too powerful to leave for the completion of her history as a nation—the Chapter of Accidents. So much, however, for Mr. COB DEN'S flagrant and unfair dogmatism a dog matism that has at length actually gone the length of sweeping out of the historic view of Englishmen the deeds of WILLIAM the CONQUEROR and the designs of NAPOLEON the GREAT. Our men of commerce and of peace, including a' the peace-at-any-price gentlemen, have just now a noble opportunity to do something for the peace of the world by doing what they can for Central Italy. Non-intervention is the cry, and we, with others, have cordially accepted it; but the whole country has cordially accepted the interpretation of it by Lords PALMERSTON and RUSSELL and Mr. GLADSTONE, all of them right-hearted on the Ita lian question. We agree that non-intervention does not exclude anything which we can under take efficiently, and with a due regard to our na tional dignity, on behalf of Italian liberty and in dependence. We are not to intermeddle when we can accomplish nothing ; not to enter into any con ference unless the bases of it furnish us reason to believe that some good may come of it ; but if our views on Italian questions can be made to tell on Europe on the right side, we are to proffer them freely. Now, it strikes us, that our monied and commer cial men have an opportunity of repeating the step which they have more than once taken, and with every advantage. Both London and Manchester have presented addresses to foreign Powers when the interests of the two nations were concerned, and their doing so was thought both wise and becoming. Louis NAPOLEON and the cities of America have been honoured in this way by our civic corporations and merchants, who believed they were thus secur ing the interests of their order and of international goodwill ; although at the time there were not wanting those who thought our merchant princes somewhat jeopardised the dignity of their country. We heard " the white feather" talked of —we do do not say justly—still, some did think .he rate of discount and the course o trade was more thought of than national honour. In what we have to suggest there is no danger of this. The benefit of the step to trade and com merce, indeed, makes it consistent for merchants and bankers to act prominently ; but the nobleness of the object, and the impossibility of attributing it to moti ves o f ti m idit y , ren d er it as h onoura bl e as A is prudent. What we have to suggest is that memorials should be drawn up by our leading bankers, merchants, and manufacturers, and forwarded by deputies, if thought desirable, to the municipalities of the prin cipal cities of Central Italy, including Bologna, Ferrara in the Legations, with Florence, Modena, and Parma. The way in which these cities and the small States to which they belong, have maintained disadvantage, h ave b een t h e friends an d the confusion of admiration a o t r i d on er o u f n all l rie h v e e i r r Y their enemies. The despots and their well-wishers were anxiously waiting for Red Republican and Socialist outbreaks ; indeed, as they could not pro voke them, they even ventured at Vienna to manu facture one, in a telegram, from Parma, which the Mayor of Parma himself, at present in Paris, has publicly contradicted in the lifoniteur. We were about to say they have repressed every democratic movement—but the truth is there has been none. The citizens seem all to have been animated by one feeling—to justify their demand for freedom by showing their com petency to use it. Will Lombard-street itself affirm that under the same changes and excitement, Lon- don itself would have been as quiet, and their sen sitive business have experienced so little fluctuation as has been the case in those cities of Italy, whose rulers ran away to fight against their own people ? Of course our City magnates are interested in a stable European peace, and it is impossible to hope for that unleso Italy be allowed to settle upon a na tural ;basis. If Austria be ever permitted to inter meddle again south of the Po, we shall but have a repetition of all ,former unsettlements. Sardinia will again listen to the " cry of Italian anguish." The EMPEROR will again give the word to willing soldiers to rush again to the combat with the armies they have so recently vanqui shed—France will again be ready for another taste: of glory, this time not to fail of its consummation, and it may then well be that a second war will have a wider range. The late war, and the preceding one in the Crimea, will prove to have been but prelimi nary training!' for some greater military feat. The true way to secure peace is to take care, if possible, that when it has returned, the causes of war may be removed. But how would addresses from our men of wealth and position in the commercial classes here serve this object ? We reply they would tell on every exchange, on every bank, on every loan con tractor, and thus on every power of Europe. If it were seen that our classes here, which most wor ship peace and good order, appreciate as it de serves the successful self-government of the Central Italian States, it would strengthen the hands of these States in asserting their right to be let alone. For any Governments to have won honours in the tripos of our commercial magnates is no light argu ment for such Governments to demand that others, who stand at the bottom of it, should let them alone. Who and what is Austria with her bank rupt exchequer and beaten armies that size should arrogate to herself a right to settle the Go vernment of States because they are small, when they govern themselves better than she can govern them ? These States have also, we be lieve, friends favourable to their independence, where it is not yet openly avowed, the sym pathy of the wealthy and busy citizens of England would open their mouths. The French, including their EMPEROR and his soldiers, must wish to see that their fighting has done something more for Italy than give the archduchy of Milan to Piedmont; let us embolden them to say—" We will allow the Italians, even to the States of the Church to arrange their own civil government." Chiefly, however, we recommend the act as a noble and worthy one. Englishmen of wealth and common sense have sent addresses across the Chan nel and across the Atlantic, when the motives might be misconstrued. They could not be mis construed now. We have reason to commend the admirable self-government of three or four small States under the most trying circumstances. We have reason to demand that such States shall be left in the freedom achieved for them by French bravery and the cowardice of their own rulers. And, we have reason to say to all Europe, through them—Leave these States to their undeniable rights, and you may hope, so far as they are con cerned, for uninterrupted peace. The French journals are as delighted as the people at the proclamation of the general amnesty. Indeed, the second proclamation in favour of the Press seems to give an impetus to their joy. Nor can we wonder at it; for the EMPEROR will soon find his reward in having given such universal satisfaction by the repose consequent on the pre vious irritation and apprehension being allayed. The marvel is that he hesitated so long ; but, of course, he was the best judge. Indeed, all France seems in raptures at events of such importance—so national, and yet so unex pected. The visit of the young ex-Duke of Tuscany to Paris has resulted in a failure, although he was kindly received by the Emperor just before his de parture for the Pyrenees. Commence at 7.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 19, 1859. Whatever Mr. COBDEN talks about, he talks about in terms the most positive. We have to do no more than read or listen. We are to have no appeal against his assertions, whatever those asser tions may chance to be. We have nothing else to do but to accept them with a credence, instant, absolute, and implicit. Mr. COBDEN has said it. It is enough. According to the mood in which he speaks—we have merely to " believe and tremble," or to believe and rejoice. Autos eipen—t:pse dixit —that is the gilding of the pill : and we have no other course to follow in regard to this bolus—be it sweet, or be it bitter—than just to swallow it. Now, so long as Mr. COBDEN argues " with" us, we confess that his dogmatic tone is perhaps a little more than barely endurable. It is a weakness, doubtless, which we are here frankly acknowledg ing—and a weakness by the avowal of which we offer our quota to the sum of human weakness. The irritating influence of Mr. COBDEN'S dogmatism, we admit, passes us by, at these times, not only without causing even the most momentary annoy• ance, but, we will yet further admit, with a plea. curable consciousness of the exquisite irritation will in all probability cause to our antagonists. An admission, this, that would doubtless have been acceptable to a La BRUYERE or to a ROCHEFOU CAULD. So it is, however, in honest truthfulness ; and, conscious of the fact, we are not slow to con fess it. Hence, when the member for Roch dale dogmatises about the Ballot, for ex ample, we are fain not for one instant to say him, Nay ! Granting his premises—knowing them to be in such an instance sound at heart— we read him or listen to him at such moments with a peculiar degree of complacency. When he tells the opponents of the Ballot that, in spite of all their opposition to its coming, it will come never theless, we are aware that he is telling the plain home truth, with no mistake at all about it. The telling of those kind of truths may be exceedingly, (doubtless is wonderfully) vexatious to those who fail to recognise it as a truth. So—recognising it ourselves, however, we listen like the wedding guest, and the mariner hath his will. But the one great peculiarity of Mr. COBDEN'S dogmatism is, that it is universal—that it is abso lutely encyclopwdiac. It relates, not by any means, to the question of free trade in corn, to the question of vote ballot, or to the question of the distribution of the electoral franchise. It embraces every imaginable topie. It is, without exception, the most comprehensive dogmatism that ever man had, as an offensive (sometimes a particularly offensive) weapon, to deal lightly or heavily about him among his fellows according to his own free will and plea sure. Mr. COBDEN is never dogmatic by halves. His one watchword in this is Thorough. He " goes in" at any and every question " full tilt"—be it as yielding as a feather bed or as impregnable as a wall of adamant. And it is precisely, because of this one great dominant characteristic, because of this universal and all-comprehending dogmatism that a speech from Mr. COBDEN (ranging, as his speeches almost invariably do, over a great variety of subjects), presents a spectacle quite as interesting in its way as an exhibition of what they call Ground and Lofty Tumbling. Without the customary tights and spangles, but with the inevitable chair and little bit of carpet, Mr. COBDEN, the ground and lofty tumbler °f modern oratory, has been showing off recently upon two successive occasions at Rochdale at the particular desire of that (his own) constituency. And with the worthy and worshipful the local mayor, seated in the • Chau', and with all kinds of things in rapid sequence dra gged tapes, upo the Carpet, or, as the French_say, upon th and with two or three or four thousand spectators, "looking on and encouraging of the same"—i t hardly be deemed w ay surprising that the ean in auy display has proved in a great measure worth looking at. RA o SAMEE with five and six knives twittering and flickering in the air —occasionally taking eccentric excursions down the performer's throat, and coming up again to revolve over him in dangerous proximity t o his ead and fingers—was really nothing to it. The pe ‘g-top twirling on the tip of the long flexible cane tht globe balanced on the soles of the inverted !cot: the! posturings, the summersaults, were in no CCM pa rable degree as surprising as the exhibition of in tellectnal agility with which Mr. COBDEN'S Dogmatism careered among the diverse topics taken 1 - 12 hand yesterday, and the day before, down at .tochdale.

THE KING OF PRUSSIA: A Berlin letter of the 15th says : " The strength of the King is becoming gra dually exhausted ; his Majesty has almost entirely lost his intellectual faculties, and his death would be a happy release both for himself and for the Queen. Although the King has no longer any influence over the Government and direction of affairs, his death would nevertheless be of im portance. The reactionary party have hitherto had a right to say that the Government was not in conformity with the principles of the King, and in open contradiction with the system of Baron de Manteuffel. With the death of the King this foundation of the resistance of the reactionary party falls to the ground, and perhaps they will rally round the new King with the object of making him abandon the salutary path of the in ternal development of Prussia which he has hitherto followed. The disarmament is going on. A great number of horses have been sold, but the export of them still remains interdicted. FRANCE. PARIS, THURSDAY. A letter from Saint Sauveur says :—" The Em peror and Empress will arrive at Tarbes on the 18th. Their Majesties will sleep at the chateau of M. Fould, and will take their first bath at St. Sauveur in the morning of the 19th. They are to take in all 18 baths, one per day. At present masons, carpenters, and gardeners are employed in and about the bathhouse, and amidst the confusion and noise they create, the bathers have to manage as well as they can. Two bath-rooms have been constructed, one for the Emperor, the other for the Empress. They are elegantly fitted up, and the baths in them, like those of the other bathers, are in grey marble. The Emperor and Empress and their suites are to occupy three houses situsted at one of the extremities of the village, which consists of only one street. The furniture for the three houses has been brought from the palace at Pau. Sixty infantry and ten cavalry soldiers of the guard a - fe to be in attendance on their Majesties. It is by direction of Dr. Bayer that the Emperor and Empress are going to pass their short season at Saint Sauveur." " Prince Poniatowski, senator," says the lilessager, "has left Paris for Italy, charged with a special mission by the Emperor." Another Vienna letter, in the Cologne Gazette, says :—" A very active exchange of despatches is taking place between France and Russia. It is stated in diplomatic circles that the latter insists on the definitive regulation of the Italian question being confided to a European Congress. She in vokes the convention agreed to, at the beginning of the war between her and the French Govern ment, by which she undertook to maintain neu trality favourable to France, and the latter under took to return to labour after the war to obtain the meeting of a congress, which should decide not only on the Italian question, but on modifying, in conformity with the wishes of Russia, the treaty of Paris of 1856. Russia has faithfully fulfilled her engagement, and France is now bound to fulfil hers." PARIS BOURSE, Aug. 18.—The market was very dull at the opening, but afteiwards rallied.

GENERAL GARIBALDI. A letter from Florence of the 15th says : " General Garibaldi arrived here this morning at ten. He was proceeding in a carriage incognito, to the New York Hotel, when he was recognised by a group of volunteers in the street. They imme diately ran after the carriage, shouting, ' It is he ! it is he ! Garibaldi for ever !' You may imagine what a cortege was collected by the time the car riage had reached the centre of the town. It was a display of true popular enthusiasm. The news ran from street to street, from house to house, and in a short time Garibaldi's name was in every mouth. All the windows were instantly decorated with flags. The street where Garibaldi's hotel stands is crowded with people flocking thither from all quarters. He was forced to appear several times on the balcony, when he was cheered with an enthusiasm which defies description. Although he has got over his illness, he still suffers from weak ness in the legs, owing to an attack of rheumatism. The Government sent to compliment Garibaldi as soon as he arrived. This afternoon he will visit NI. Ricasoli, the President of the Council." CHINA. The following accounts have been received from China some days later than those already published : —The corvette Duchayla, having on board M. de Bourboulon, the French Minister in China, and all the members of his legation, arrived on the 18th June in the Bay of Petchi-li, on their way from Shanghai to Pekin. The corvette anchored off a large tower recently constructed, and surmounted by a semaphoric apparatus, which corresponds with the capital by means of a series of other telegraphs placed on high grounds. It was about 'five o'clock in the evening when the corvette anchored, and about nine o'clock the next morn ing a junk, richly decorated, came off to her. A Chinese officer came on board the Duchayla, and delivered a letter from the mandarin in charge of the bay, informing the commander that the ambas sador might proceed to Tien-sing, where he would receive a despatch from the President of the Impe rial Cabinet, pointing out to him how he was to come to Pekin, and in what manner his official re ception would take plaee. When the above account left Hong Kong, a report was current that the governor of the Russian establishments in Upper Asia had offered assistance to the Court of Pekin to put down the insurrection so long prevailing. If this news should be confirmed, an intimate alliance batween Russia and China will be the result, and the former power will acquire a paramount influ ence over the latter." AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY. The Cunard screw steam ship Jura, Captain Moodie, which sailed from New York at four o'clock on the morning on the 7th inst., arrived here at 11.10 this morning, having been detained 41 hours at the bar for the tide to rise. Bhe brought 371,366 dols. in specie. On the 10th inst., about 60 miles west of Cape Race, the Jura passed a large steamer, supposed to be the Vanderbilt, from Southampton, for New York. The steamer Circassian, from Galway, arrived at New York on the 6th inst. The steamer Now York, for Southampton and Bremen, sailed from New York on the 6th, with 184,105 dols. The New York journals to the evening of the 6th inst. contain sundry items of news additional to that received by the North Briton via Father Point. California advices to July 20 had reached New Orleans via the Tehuantepec route. The mail steamer which left San Francisco on the 20th July for Panama had on board 1,900,000 dols. in gold. Business in San Francisco was dull, and prices were declining. Partial returns of the election in Texas show a majority for General Sam Houston for the governor ship. The board of health of New Orleans officially announced on the 4th inst. that there was no yellow fever in that city. _ It is confirmed that the Erie railroad is to go into the hands of the receiver. This proceeding is said to be " a friendly one, and designed to protect all interests, including stockholders and unsecured bondholders, against hostile creditors." The news from Mexico is, as usual, quite contra dictoty. It is stated, in direct conflict with our previous intelligence, that Mirarnon had decreed a heavy tax upon every citizen of Mexico who avows himself in favour of the priests. Sterling Exchange had been in fair demand, and the closing rate on London was 110 to 1103. The Money Market was tighter than at any time since 1857, but at the close of the week it had be come quieter in tone. The latest quotations on the Stock Exchange on the 6th were as follows :—lllinois Central Shares, 64 ; Ditto, Bonds, 84 ; New York Central Shares, J2i ; Reading Shares, 44; Panama Shares, 1 14 1; Virginia Sixes, 931 - ; Michigen Central Shares, 41.

CHARGE AGAINST COLONEL FORGES.—A judge's warrant has been issued for the apprehension of Colonel John Alexander Forbes, late of the 92d High landers, ag ainst whom a true bill ha s b een returned at the Gloucester Assizes, on the charge of publishing an indecent libel, and who has absconded, forfeiting his bail, amounting to several hundred pounds. Fifty pounds reward is offered for the capture of Colonel Forbes, who is 60 years of age. A. full description of his personal appearance has been for warded to all the police stations in the kingdom. ANOTHER POWDER-MILL EXPLOSION—FAVER suAm, Thursday.--Yesterday morning, at 5 o'clock, an explosion took place at Messrs. Hall's gunpowder-mills. Numbers of persons hastened to the spot, when it was found that a building known as the " green charge house," and which contained a large quantity of powder in process of manufacture, was blown up, but fortunately no personal injuries resulted, as the workmen were not on the premises at the time. The destroyed building was situated near the private residence of Mr. Hall, on the Ospringe road, and a number of men were employed during the day in removing the fragments. This is the third explosion that has re cently occurred at these works. SHOCKING DEATH OF A LIVERPOOL GENTLEMAN AT SNOWDON.—We regret to announce the death of Mr. George Frodsham, managing clerk in one of the largest mercantile firms in Livepool, under circumstances of the most appalling nature. The deceased gentleman com menced the ascent of Snowdon about midnight on Sunday, in order to arrive at the summit of the mountain in time to see the sun rise. He had a guide with him, but this person he dismissed before he reached the top. Nothing more was seen of him until Tuesday morning, when his body, fear fully mutilated, was discovered lying on the base of a pre cipice, and from some marks on the ground there is no doubt that the unfortunate gentlemen had fallen from a height of upwards of 600 feet. ?Ir. Frodsham was very much esteemed in Liverpool, and his melancholy fate has caused regret among a large circle of friends. Marco Gring, the Itclian Patriot. By Mrs. Webb, Author of " Naomi," " Martyrs of Carthage," &c. Bentley. This is a delightful little work, full of freshness and spirit ; and while it presents to the reader a very interesting story, it relates events that refer to the condition of Italy, which at the present junc ture are peculiarly attractive. The book is replete with the most pleasing kind of interest, and in some passages the attention is excited to the utmost. This is particularlythe case in the scenes of Marco's trial and condemnation. The authoress has been signally successful in her description of these mo mentous occurrences, and indeed it is not often that one meets with such force and vitality infused into the pages of a story. Some of the characters are conspicuous from their superiority, or their i; eculiar nature. Of the ladies, Kate Aubrey is the most pleas ing. She was rather too vehement and impetuous when she was excited about anything, but there was something noble and elevated about her nature which powerfully impressed all who came under her influence. Marco Griffi is the nephew of Mr. Aubrey, the son of a long-lost brother, for whom Mr. Aubrey had never ceased to mourn. His de light was great in meeting with his relation in the young hero of Italian liberty, whose character he had before admired. Had it not been for the opportune arrival of his uncle, the aspirant for freedom would have added another name to the long list of the martyrs for Italian liberty. The scenes of sorrow and the dark annals of prison life which at such an epoch as the one here referred to became painfully intense and awfully significant are delineated in a masterly style, and rivet the attention in a forcible manner. Whether we look on the last moments of Pietro and behold him staunch in the cause for which he had fallen, yet resigned to his fate, and seeking to lead his infatuated friend Marco to believe in the faith which had guided his life in peace, and would crown his death with glory ; or whether we turn to the home of the Aubrey's and find each member differently affected by the fatal news, and again enter the dwelling of the afflicted Madre Griffi, alike is there pathos in the pictures of the deep agony, the hidden terror, or the noble courage. Marco's belief in religion had been shaken by the confusion of creeds which surrounded him, and by finding that many most devoted in their outward bearing practised acts to which he never could have stooped and at which his nature revolted. Happily for him he met with many kind friends who led him on to the better contemplation of sacred sub jects, and the months which he spent in exile among the Vaudois vales were of great service to him. He there recognised and reverenced the pure faith which actuated the solemn lives of the dwellers of that calm retreat, and when he rejoined his newly found family they saw to their deep gra titude that he could be one with them in faith as in kindred. Besides the stirring scenes of the un successful attempt to restore liberty, which caused such sorrow and suffering to all concerned, there are some scenes of home-life of the Aubrey's which are so gracefully and genially described to us that of themselves they impart a charm and a grace to the story. It is not often that a book that is so pleasing in every way is met with as the one before us, and those who desire an agreeable recreation or an exciting study can do no better than peruse its fascinating pages, which possess the interest inseparable from the recital of deeds of heroism, and the attraction of an excellent style. Twenty Years in the Church. An Autobiography. By the Rev. J. Pycroft, 8.A., author of " Recol lections of College Days." Booth. This book is written with great care, and will prove interesting to those who seek to study the intricacies of clerical life. Henry Austin, whose career is here narrated can be taken as a typo of the class of curates who have to perform a very ar duous task, and the trials of whose existence are not generally sufficiently estimated. Not only had he to contend with poverty, but various drawbacks and annoyances combined to render his path for many years a very thorny one. There is consider able skill displayed in some of the details, par ticularly those that relate to the new church. The author demonstrates the almost insuperable diffi culties that attended the undertaking, one of which was that those who were ready enough to subscribe large donations for the erection of the sacred edifice, were unwilling to contribute a fraction towards defraying the necessary expenses that were after wards to be met. There are some wise reflec tions at the conclusion, regarding the general principles which should guide the course, and direct the actions of young clergymen. It is said that wherever the locality is, there will always be found temptations and hindrances in the way of duty, and that the only thing is to struggle against them, and not to expect that any change of circum stances will entirely remove them, " And as to looking for a more convenient season, and waiting till we are settled,' to perform our several parts in this life, it is like waiting till the river shall have passed away ; for a man is never 'settled" in this world, till he is settled at the bottom of his grave."

On the sth inst. six sons of the Thames effected a land ing at Dieppe, to compete for the different prizes offered at the regatta which took place on the 7th. a l !Our countrymen soon became aware that their riv. were numerous and determined to offer the strongeot sible resistance to any English that might present theme selves. In fact, the Frenchmen felt apprehensiv e that same " intruders" might again appear who per forrad atta gloriously a short time ago at the Paris Spring ~at held at St. Cloud, in which the English thrashed the ac men of France at the very moment they were made quainted with the victory of Magenta. Our A li t: friends took the offensive, and on the 7th took up t." -- position to struggle against thepicked crews of Paris , 143vi c ? Rouen, and Dieppe. Pais, indeed, was well represente a very spirited French gentleman having for the las t thre : months trained six of the best rowers in France to comp for the supremacy, and he had already challenged.3lr. John Arthur of Paris, who has always taken so activeii part in upholding the honour of English acquallea .11 France, to row any English crew for the Championshlf: M r. Arthur was too happy to take up the glove, and vited our Londoners to France, not only to Dieppe, but t° Rouen and Paris, also to assist at three grand regattal. given on occasion of the Emperor's fete. It is to-dal. °To agreeable task to report the rapid march of our W ell , through France, quite in the style of Maxlborougll Havelock, triumphant from beginning to end, three battle! and eleven victories, some under certain difficulties, and many of them hard-fought encounters, for it is not gear rally known that there are now some aquatic men 111 France who are ready and fully equal to row agai nst al. best English crews. At Dieppe the races were for four. oared and sii - n ar : d . gigs; and a second four-oared race as a prize of honour I°- the victors of the above races, a handsome gold cup, g ilt° by the Emperor. „ ni e of Thirteen boats started for the f our - o a re d prize, a P— 4 . 1 , 0 £l6 and a gold medal.

The same success, '. 1 , 5 1 greater advantage, the French crew appearing to 11 0 e some of their gunpowder and much of their strenell;"be fact, John Bull's stamina was too much for them next day the race for the Emperor's Gold Cup took to ice and was won by our countrymen. It was gratifying that, with the exception of some few, most of the sP e r: tors admitted the superior skill and strength of the English and their style of rowing was much admired. fo r ward After the above successes our little corps pushed to Rouen—or as one of the crew t erme d it " rOW.011" and there they found the whole town alive, and out to s ed, e u them row on or be rowed out.
