(flyer, Kwanborough, die To conclude with THE LITTEny TICKET. We must remind our anti-Church-rate friends, however, that they are no Worse off under Lard DERBY than they would have been under Lord PALMERSTON. He would not only have done no more for them, but would have done worse, for be would have persuaded many Liberals not to support them in the Commons. He would have given alittle joke and banter perhaps; but we prefer of the two, Lord DERBY'S straightforward opposi- Lion. We know better how to deal with it. •The country must rely, not on a change of Ministry, but on itself. It must render the existence of any Ministry impracticable which will not concede its just demands. In East Norfolk, on this very point, it compelled Mr. COKE .to inscribe Church rate abolition on his card, and we have strong reason for believing that this had much to do with obtaining him his small majority. At the next general election this course has but to be repeated, and increased majorities will soon tell the Lords that the time for further resistance is gone. As to our Tory friends, we admonish them not to be over-confident too soon. They have done better than the Whigs hitherto. This alone has, as they know, prolonged their term of office, a n d enabled them—with the aid of Father Thame s also—to get pretty well through the session, and to securo a certain amount of popu larity. But they must not be frightened be cause obsolete Toryism in the rural districts clamours against their liberality. As soon as they yield to that cry their days are numbered. The country may care little whether DERBY, or PALMER STON, or RUSSELL be at the head of affairs ; but it does care to get on with liberal measures. If the Whigs cheat them of these, they have to go out. If the Conservatives follow the Whig game, they will find that they must turn out too—and " sane them right !

There are, however, some additional clauses to be proposed, and therefore progress was again re ported, and the committee will sit once more on Monday next. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, with a laud able anxiety to save public time, suggested that the clauses should be then read, so that the bill' might be printed, and the additional matter dis cussed cn the bringing up of the report. By that means Noble Lords and Right Honourable and Honourable Gentlemen would have full opportunity of " freeing their minds," by deliver ing carefully prepared speeches on each clause. unfortunately, Lord 1 3 ii - IsiniisioN remarke d there could be only one speech on th e retor t, I ARE YOU GOING TO THE HIGHLANDS, Lord DERBY'S adopting the course he did, but Unrivalled for Scenery, famous in Story and I that of a determination to show his power on a Song ?•• If so, make a note to call at (when in the Capital of the beautiful North), I Tory and High Church question. He has shown it abundantly. The man who could bid the Lords turn round and give him a majority on the Jew question one day, and next day command a majo- rity of one hundred and fifty-one against a Liberal proposal, is, beyond doubt, the leader of the House of the Lords. This is the first time the abolition of Church rates has been proposed to their Lordships. So far from being surprised at the majority, we must confess that we are rather surprised and en couraged by the number of the minority. When once the Premier gave the intimation that no con sideration for the interest of the Ministry required any of the Lords Spiritual or Temporal to check their anti-Liberal instincts, why, of course, they rushed to the division, or posted up their proxies with heart and good will. Scores of the rustio rubbish of the Peerage, whose names are wholly unknown to the public, except by poring over di vision lists on such occasions as these, gladly enough expressed their antipathy to Dissenters and Radicals by recording their vote on a bill which they know to be a favourite with the former. The 187 non-contents indicate the temperament of the normal "lord." No one doubts, if asked, which way the Lords will vote on any liberal question, doubts how it will be, unless prudential circum stances modify their instincts ; then indeed they may emancipate Catholics or negroes, and abolish Corn Laws, or Property Qualifications for mem bers, or even admit a Jew to Parliament. That a lord would vote for Church-rates and against their abolition, unless Lord,DERBY told them they had better not, was as certain as that they had always, at first, voted against every liberal measure within the recollection of the oldest of us. But that thirty-six should be prepared at once to vote for so thoroughly liberal a measure as releasing Dissenters from paying tribute to their Lordships' Church, and for com pelling Churchmen to keep their own places of worship in repair, is really more than we looked for. The arguments were, it may be, new to their Lordships ; to us and to our readers they are, of course, old enough. We must give the Upper Elouee time, however, to learn its Church-rate ilphabet, and are glad it has so many as thirty six successful scholars ; but we need not again go over the old ground. The only question now with us is the practical one—what is to be done ? Ind there can be little doubt on that point. Lord DERBY himself was obliged on Thursday to concede that the Lords may always be beaten by time and thecountry ; and in this case the country has the matter more than usually in its own hands . Commonly not a step can be gained till a majority is actually secured in the Lords ; in this case it is enough to secure a majority in any parish vestry. If the parishes cannot persuade the Lords to abolish the rate everywhere, each parish, if at all independent, can, as hundreds of parishes have done, abolish it for itself. We may surely hope that, with the decision of the House of Commons in their favour, and the perversity of the Lords to arouse them, hundreds of parishes will refuse rates now which have been passive hitherto. But the power of abolitionists does not termi nate with a majority in vestry. That of course is conclusive, and wherever it can be obtained, it is digraceful to Dissenters and liberal Churchmen to submit to compulsion. But their Lordships and Dissenters ought to know that a small and determined minority can prevent a rate being laid, or reduce its amount so much that it will not be worth levying ; and after the decision of the people's representatives on a question of taxation they are authorised in doing it. It is always pussiLle and proper to object to the amount of a rate or to the items, or to the charge for each particular item. On these points an amendment can be moved; if rejected, a poll can be taken, and cannot be refused, for a decision the other day has completely settled that point. If the supporters of a rate beat on the poll, the rate is not thereby carried ; they must call another meeting, when again amendments to ex punge items, or to reduce the amount, may be again made, and polls agiin demanded. This is the law of Church•rates ; let the opponents of them but use their powers, and what with majo rities in vestry, and polling on amendments by minorities, they may abolish the rate locally, and make the Bishops and the House of Lords glad to abolish Church-rates everywhere, even by next session. LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 2, 1858. Solite years ago, at the Oxford Commemoration, the undergraduates gave Lord RADNOR and the Dissenters , three groans! and immediately after— Lord RADNOR and his foxhounds three cheers ! Some of our contemporaries, and a goodly num ber 'of their Tory and of their High Church readers, if not too much advanced in years, have alreltdP groaned or cheered in like manner for Lord DERBY and the Jews on Thursday, and Lord DERBY and Church Rates on Friday. We wish Lord DERBY joy of his numerous supporters on Friday night. He ought to know best the poli tical advantages of the course he has taken ; but he must be prepared for some disadvantages also. Two courses lay open to him. He might have supported the second reading, proffering some clattses in Committee to which the Abolitionists in the Commons would not object—what in fact, though in a little different form, ho has done in regard to the Jews; or he could move that the• present bill be rejected. He pre ferred the latter course. Mistakenly we think.• Any bill on Church -rates must begin by abolishing them, though it might provide other means, such as pew rents, for raising the amount needed. We, therefore, can pee Ao re ason for rut - SUN, LONDON SATURDAY_ EVENING, JULY 8, 1858. FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY. It is currently reported that Admiral Hamelin will, in all probability, give in his resignation as Minister of Marine. The importance of that post has been considerably diminished by the separation of the colonial branch, which now belongs to the department of Prince Napoleon as Minister for Algeria: I believe nothing definitive is as yet decided on the point ; but, should the admiral persist in retiring, there is iittle doubt that the Prince will take the portfolio of Marine in addition to his present functions. The Moniteur publishes the names of the generals who will have commands at the camp of Chalons, and announces that Marshal Canrobort will have the command in chief. The French journals busy themselves with a dis cussion on the import of the displacement of Gen. Eipinasse by P.I. De!angle. They maintain strenu - ously that it means no change in policy. Prince Jerome, who passes part of the summe r every year at Havre, intends taking his departure for that seaport about the 25th.

The damage to the property of the company was about 12,0001., which was lath'. covered ; and ills loss on produce wan estimated at 40,000/. to 50,0001., also believed to.be like. great measure insured. Th e t o t a l consequently is about 62,0001., in lieu of 100,000 e., the original estimate. Notwithstanding these delays, we may, how ever, hope that the bill will be introduced into the Lords early in the week, and that it may be disposed of so as to admit of a prorogation of Parliament before the close Of the present month. Mr. HENRY BERKELEY is entitled to great cre dit for the judicious manner in which he framed and introduzed the interrogatory which produced the satisfactory information that a plan had been presented by the Metropolitan Board of Works, on Thursday, which, they believed, ought to be adopted to remedy the grievance. Also, that the Government intended to propose a measure at the earliest possible day, and certainly in time to enable both Houses of Parliament t) come to a, decision—he trusted a satisfactory one, on the whole question. This is as it should be. Should the Government be enabled to abate this monster nuisance; should they purify the " filthy ditch," and avert the pestilence that may be engendered by its horrible exhalations, and enable parties once more to re sort to - the silent highway, they will have entitled themselves to the national gratitude in no ordinary degree. We use the term "national " advisedly. .It is_ not a mere lecal question. The present condition of " the' silver winding Thames" is a stain and disgrace to the British Empire. It not only disgusts the inhabi tants of the metropolis and its numerous provincial visitors, but induces intelligent foreigners to cast a slur on the institutions under which such a state of affairs could possibly arise. It would of course be better if time could be taken to select • the bast of the nume rous schemes that have been put forward, But procrastination would be fatal, and any thing would be better than inaction. Ere the close of the year, England may have to deplore_ the loss of a greater number of its citizans than perished in the Russian War or the Indian Rebellion. It is not now merely a matter of L. s. d. The health and lives of the people are at stake : net merely of the inhabi tants of London, but of the entire country ; for most assuredly, if disease s. , in any of its multifarious forme, should bo engendered, it would spread throughout the length and breadth of the land. There would be no safe guard in any district —no adequate defence against the insidious assailant. The laying down of pipes cutting off the sewage from, the river would do mur.th, and that step might be taken with but trifling loss of time. In such a case, the expense is of comparatively trivial importance. The lives of the people are of more importance than money. Red-tapist regu lations must be suspended under the circum- stances, and whatever is to be done should be done quickly, and, so far as practicable, effectually ! We shall await the introduc tion of the Government measure with con- siderablo anxiety-, trusting, however, that it may redound to their credit, and add to the reputation they have already achieved since their accession to office. REMOVAL OP THE COURT TO THE ISLE OF WIGHT.-- Tee junior breaches of the Royal faritily are expected at Osborne on Monday next, 'and her Majeiry and the Court on Wei'nesdey. Captain the Hon. Joseph Denman has taken Mite Rose Cottage, and is expected at Cowes on Monday. H e nry Thyroid, E q., bee taken Sir John Hippeeley's home. POPULARITY OF THE PRINCESS FREDERICK WILLIAM. —A ow letterre from in grand rifl e matc h is n ‘ l.T 'A Pwardc of 130 r ifl e lsa c y i s : ty -. : societies have sent deputations, comprising a l toget h er eog off B in this more than 1,000 persons. As it is the fashion at present to put the name of the Princess Frederick William everywhere, the name of. ' Frederick William Victoria Rifle Match' has'heen given to the .affair. Each' of the riflemen is to rce ive a r'i'ver medal from the Rifl e Society of Berlin, and the Prince and Princess will give gold m e d a l, to the successful compet i ters. " A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Skeen and Freeman, timber brokers, who lately suspended, teak place yesterday morning, at which there was a sitniler effort to prevent any general disclosures. The annexed balance-sheet erne presented, showing debts to the amount of 33,690/. with assets estima.ed at only 6 ,2311, and, after a long and stormy disemsion, it was resolved to throw the estate into bankruptcy. At a meeting of creditors of Messrs. Bristow, War ren, and. Harrison, %Oil:del:Ale grocers, who stopped en the 26th of last month, a balance-sheet, prepared by Messrs. Coleman, Turquand, Youngs, and Co., account- I ants, w as presented, showi ng liabilities 49,563/. (exch . :- sive of 23,5061. on account of bills receivable not ex' petted to prove against the estate), with net assets amounting to 35,1461., or about 15s. in the pound. An adjournment was ordered to receive the report of a'cOmmittee. . In connection' with the circumstances' of this failure there was apparently a desire to avoid pub• lioity, and no reporters were admitted. while there might be any number in committee. It would be impossible then to restrain the burn ing eloquence of those panting for distinction, and for whom one opportunity would be alto gether inadequate. The silent but potential admonitions of the Thames—the nauseating effluvia and sickening odourscoull not induce the malcontents to surrender any portion of their privilege, or •to extend to the Government the courtesy which was never refused to their prede cessors. A suggestion that the committee - should meet this day, in order to conclude the business, was also strenuously repudiated. Another day has thus been wasted. But the public will know who are the parties really responsible for the procrastination, which may annoy but cannot seriously injure the Government. The first amendment on which a division was taken was that on the salaries of the members of Council, which it was proposed to reduce from 1,2001. to 500/. per annum. Notwithstanding that the services of the best men would be re quired, and that not only much time and trouble whould be indispensably required, but also a residence in London or its immediate vicinity, and that the party would be excluded from Par- . liament, it was considered by 59 gentlemen that 5001. a year would prove a sufficient inducement to men of high standing and experience, and pm sessing the requisite qualifications, to accept the situation. As, however, 226 members were of a different opinion, the original scale of remunera tion was carried by a majority of 16',". The closest division that took place was on clause 27, which provided that " orders now sent through the Secret Committee, may be sent by the Secretary of State, without communication with the Council." Lord Jourr RUSSELL thought it inconsistent with the policy of the bill that there should be any secrecy from the Council. It was manifest, however, that such- a regulation would be opposed to the full responsibility of the Minister, and might unduly fetter him in cases of pressing emergency. He could,•of course, if time and circumstances permitted, and if be deemed it expedient so to do, obtain their opinions, but it would be very impolitic to bind him to do so. The clause was therefore retained by a majority of 24. The numbers being for it 119—against it 95. The chief discussion took place on the 38th clause s which provides that the dividend of the Company, and existing and future deb's, liabi lities, and expenses, should be charged on the revenues of India " alone." The word " alone" was objected to ; the effect of the omission would be to saddle the Consolidated Fund with every Indian liability, and of course to improve materially the position of those who advanced money at 5 or 6 per cent., which with a national guarantee could have been obtained at 3 or 3/. The Chancellor of the Exchetpler, however, was firm, and the amendment was ulti mately negatived without a division. TELLERS. dollille, Sir W. Taylor, Col. ITOES-95. Ademe, H. Liphinstone, Sir J.

Dublin.—The story of " Gerald Fitzgerald". is _ continued. with increasing interest; and there is some skill - displayed in the gradual development of the youth's - mind ; it truly shows how evil inapt-es '. sions once instilkdieto the mind ate difficult to eradicate.. At the conclusion of this part of the narrative a new prospect of a settled life seems once more to dawn on the wandering hero. "Olympia Morata" is the subject of an agreeable sketch of th e lif e o f th i t _rema r k a bl e woman. She is described as the most learned woman of her age. It is amusing to notice hose distasteful to lier mind were the mean occupations in which she was-com pelled to engage, ou account of the straitened cir • curnstances of the household. It is said, while she patched the old habiliment:, the envied the Israelit , s in the wilderness for the,garments which waxed not old during forty years of pilgrimage. `" The 14a . cly Agnes," translated from the German, is a legend in verse, which is well worthy of regard. The story is a pleasing one and gracefully de ' scribed. "The Right Hon. Sir Edward Bulwcr Lytton :—his career, genius, and writing," is the subject of an art:cle that will doubtless arrest a`- teniion. It is alweys interesting to trace the pie - gross of a master mind from the first dreams of ambitious youth, till the proud period of their reali3ation. Many whose early clays were devoted to castle building, find their matutity approach, while yet no chaplet has adorned their brows, and no admiring world has sounded their applause. Of those aspirants who fail from their powers bci'g too • much estimated by themselves, or too little regarded by others, was certainly not that dreamer by the banks of Windermere, whose life is here h:ought before our notice. It is an endeavour to combine an epitome of his career, an analysis of his ta!ents, and a summary of his work., in the small space that is devoted to one theme in a publication like the present ;. and it 'will appear to most readers that the project has been muccessfully carried out. The generality of people will differ on particular points, the favourite of one is unnoticed by another, but the teue-t:.ink ling and the right-judging Will Tecoguise the nobility Of mind, and yield to the spell of genius. Putting. aside the conside.ations. of political prejudice, and literary jealousy ; they will appreciate intellect by whomsoever possessed, whether by statesmen whom they know are not depsnderr. on the transient plaudits of the hour, but whose names belong to their country's history, or by authors whose works will outlive their critics, and delight by their perusal " The future sons and daughters still unborn" of the generations that shall flourish when our own has pasqed away. " The Identification ; a Narra tiva of Facts;" by a Constabulary Officer, is an ex ceedingly interesting story. It is a singular cir cumstance, which is related in an ingenious man ner, and the important points of the evidence, the trial, &c., se, iu to furnish overwhelming proofs of the guilt of tho accused party. Afrer all has been decided upon, tie fatal seutence passed, the awful hour appointed wh en h e, who then stood in the court should be compelled to exchange time for eternity, a sudden change occurs, an unyoked-for incident intervenes, to rescue the do?med one, who was wrongfully accused. Anther had committed _ • the clime, who resembled him in appearance, in an extraordinary degree, so that in tee shales of n;ght he was easily mistaken by many persons. The sudden transition from despair to hope, from the valley of the shadow of death to the light of day and the charms of home, may be imagined. The striking passages are pJwerfully dwelt uprm, and the exciting interest _of the tale well su s t a i ne d. - "The True Sroi y ofa Cock and a Bull" is a brief sketch which contains some humorous remarks re lating to the fallacious luta, that was recently so prevalent, of foreign invasion, and the starling announcements that were made of the manufac ture of— "Armammts to thnnderstrike tha walls Of rock-built cities, bidding nations quake, And monarchs tremble in their capitals." "The GermatLegend,"byJ. Slingsby, is pleasing. It relates the story of the child who besought its mother not to mourn for its loss, as her grief would not let it Weep in the grave. She struggled for composure, and checked the starting tear, and hushed the rising sigh, and again in her sleep she saw a vision, and heard a voice, but brighter and happier than in her earlier dream.— " Sleep on, thou patient mother, No more with grief opprest, Untroubled now, and sweetly, Thy little one takes rest. " He that for ever giveth Rest to his children dear, Sendeth to thee this vision Thy loving heart to cheer." Awoke that mother lonely, As passed the voice and light ; But she knew who stood iu glory Beside her bed that night. The angel of her little child Ilse message blest bad given-- One of the angels that behold The Father's face in heaven. Frasnr.—Thero are several articles in Fraser this mouth which will attract and gratify the reader. The commencement of a new story pro mises well for the lovers of fiction. There is little incident in this introductory i ns t a l men t, but it brings the actors upon the s t sge , an d they will nu doubt play their Farts with s pi r it. The concluding volumes of Mr. Proude's History of England receive a favourable notice, which commends his research, hia industry, and the graces of his style. The article proceeds to give an interesting sum. nary of the carer and character of Henry the Eighth, but the c9nclusions at which both Mr. Blackwood.—The instalment of " What will he do with it I" which is here presented to the reader, t is, perhaps, one of the most interesting that has yet appeared. We are not introduced to such agreeable phases of life, it is true, as in some other passages, nor are the persons met with endoWed with the genius, whose halo casts a glory cver the path of Darrell, or gifted with the sweet and at tractive qualities that charm and fascinate in the gentle young Sophy ; but there is a vigour in the startling revelations disclosed, that gives aehai actor to the story, and stamps it with individuality and importance. We are carried back through the twi light of the ,past to take a glance at the early days of " grim Arabella Crane.' Austere and ungenial as she has appeared to us, it must be confessed that she had endured enough, to harden the mind, and deaden the feelings. Hors was not a nature that softens by suffering. She required all the refining influences of affection, and the warm sunshine of kindness, to ameliorate the hard and harsh attri butes of her mind. Her character was not of that sublime order which finds the sweet uses of adver sity ; her heart could not respond to the beautiful impressions of grace, by which the mourner can find the dark path illuminated by the thy-spring from on high, and through tears see the heaven where they shall never more be shed. It is not surprising, after reading of the fiery trials of her youth, to notice the adamant disposition which ap pertains to Arabella Crane. Such wrongs rankling in her mind, such sentiments pervading her existence, could not have produced anything, different. By various acc DULI ts and remi niscences, we are enabled to form a more • correA idea of the plan of the work as a whole, and to estimate more thoroughly the in fluence of evnts, • upon the characters of thoso before our notice. Jasper Losely is left in the c ire of Poole, to the horror and dismay of that latter individual, who finds too late the danger of mixing with rogues, and the difficulty of shaking off the acquaintance when its relinquishment seems de• sirable. The most satisfactory incident here re corded is the decision of Darrell not to marry again ; and the reader rejoices with him in his freedom, when, escaped from the• snares and pit falls of the town, he finds himself at evening hour again safe in the beautiful shades of Fawley Manor. "My First and Last Novel" is an amusing tale, which narrates the singular adventures, met with by a young Wife in her attempt to compose a fiction in secret. Her intention was good, but she carried it out in a most unwise manner, and acted so strangely, that her husband could not be blamed for thinking she was implicated in some thing wrong. Her work gained the remarkable success which always attends the hurried attempts of inexperienced writers in sketches like the pre sent. Minnie had some claim on fate, however, to accord her renown, since she had suffered so many ills in her task of authorship. "The First Bengal European Fusiliers at Lucknow" is con tinued from the June number. It is a subject that attracts attention at the present , moment, and a per usal of this a ccoun t w ill afford gratification, as there can be but one opinion concerning the im portance of the struggle, and the merits of those engaged in it. Indian affairs are also treated of in " The Poorbeah Mutiny," - which contains much useful information of that memorable event. " The Soldier and the Surgeon " is the title pre fixed to some judicious observations on the sani tary condition of the army, which are written by one who forms a true notion of the importance of his subject. He observes, at the commencement, that—" Though p eace may h ave h er v i ctories not less renowned than war, yet it fares ill with that people among whom the soldier and his services are not duly esteemed and suitably acknowledged." We have elsewhere alluded to the two brilliant articles on " The Great Imposture" and " Mr. Dusky's Opinions on Art," which appear at the conclusion of this number. They will be found in every way to repay perusal. Fronde and his critic arrive are contradicted by the plain voice of fact. No political sagacity, no steadfast self-reliance, no patronage of fiducatioa, can compensate for the darker shadows of his career. Mr. Froude admits him to have been without the gift BenUcy's Miscellany. —euis magazine claims the congratulations of its readers on attaining its forty fourth volume, a dignity which encourages it to take,a survey of public offal's, and to express the opinion shared by so many Liberals of the present day, on the removal of Lord Palmerston's Govern ment. It will be entertaining to many English readers to examine the character given of thi s statesman by a German wr it er . I t forms the sub ject of another article, entitled " Palmerston and his Policy," and is taken from a Leipic publica tion. A concluding paragraph by the translator, though disclaiming some of his opinions, endorses the principles on which they are founded, and ends with a vigorous denunciation of the fallen Whigs, whom all other parties agree in distrusting. " Going into Exile," is the continuation of the story of the missing bracelet. The mystery is not cleared up, but Alice Seaton, in her anxiety to screen her lover and her sister, places herself in a somewhat awkward predicamen,. Suspicion falls on Gerard Hope, who leaves the country, but the suspicion of the reader is rather directed to the sister. It is an unfortunate fact for Alice's peace of mind, that both parties declared their pressing need of money On that occas.on. " A Lady in Spitzbergen," is a title-to excite the emulation of fair adventurers, but the traveller does not seem to have found her expedition very prepossessing. The grim solitudes of the northern seas had- few- attrac— tions fur the lively Parisienne. Monkshood, in his New Book Notes, takes for a subject a volume, recently published in P.ais, on the Lives of Mary Stuart and Catherine de Medicis. The eventful lives of these two remarkable women have so often filled the pages oft b e historian and biographer, that little now remains to be said ; but the summary of their lives is not without interest. A sketch of the life and writings of Eugene Sue contains some curi ous accounts of his vicissitudes and engagements. There is much that is melancholy in this brief and business-like record•of the life and death of one who should surely Lava been capable of better things. ,‘ The story of the Ghetto" takes a retro spect of the Jews in Rome, which at the present epoch will not be an unattiactive subject. " onomic Fancies" display considerable ingenuity, and some originality of design. " A Few Words about South Austra'ia," presents that colony in a most favourable light. Colburn's United Service.—The opening article .3 on "Our Position in India," and strongly advo cates a vigotous policy. Neveetheless, it upholds some impracticable opinions, .and there is a want of that large-minded and c naprehensive spirit which is necessary for the government of millions of a different race from ourselves. The writer seems to consider that it is necessary for European supremacy that all efforts to improve or en lighten the native population, to raise them in the social scale, must 1)e suppressed and (B s _ couraged ; that the more degraded and crushed the native, the more secure will be the English rule. " Whatever conduces to the greater self respect or to the greater self-confidence of those to whom our presence must be always a grievance and injustice, from that moment we are acting to our own dis comfiture." No wonder that holding such opinions he should say that England would be n one th e worse if India were lost to her to-morrow. g e forgets that he himself contradicts his assertions when he states that the native is now wh at century talways h was, a contemptible foe; an d th at the ury which ' las effected so much for us has done nothing for him. The innate superiority of the race will always show itself ; there is no need for the con staut use of the bayonet and cannonade. Where the two races come together the European must rule, and surely it should be the aim of a great naticu to rule wolehily and well, a ecnsunamation never to be attained if we look on our Indian pos sessions and Indian subjects with scorn and indif= ference, and make it an o bj e ct to debase and cru s h them. The unpopularity of the navy is a sensible article on a subj ec t that is welt deseivi ug th e con sideration of those in author y, The m'sniange n yad by successive a o l n toy s f o ea f as t m e nhe seamen. The a the ) most injurious contradictory orders that ha ve been issued within a few 3 e t rs are suffi c i en t to disgust the sail or an d coast-guardsman. Boardsf f e e n c t t a o n n of the vAa f cd minds iinaitri The present naval administration &capes the cen sure of its predecessors, and we hope it will continue to consider the grievances of naval officers and seamen with a view to their removal, a task which is worthy of any amount of time or trouble, as it is futile to expect that able and well conducted men will devote years to a service which . offers them so few advantages for long service and good conduct. 6 Cuba and the Slave• Trade " are treated Of at length. The horrors of that abomin able traffic have been' so often detailed, that most readers are familiar with them. Nevertheless, it is somewhat startling to read that, " from close picking in small space, the deaths are now com puted at 50 per, cent." It is .a sad reflection that, after our lavish expenditure and ovnatant super. " which becomes • The throned monarch better than his crown ;" and though the reviewer would fain extenuate even his cruelty and injustice, the deaths of Sir Thomas More, of Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard, are unanswerable contradictions to the endeavour to paint Henry as an upright and much-maligned sove reign. Frederick Tennyson contributes somegraceful verses on Roseleavee, displaying some amount of poetic feeling,yet somewhattoodreamyand mysti ca l. " Teneriffe—a summer above the clouds," is the title of an interesting and instructive paper, founded on the experiences of Professor Piazzi. Smyth, Royal Astronomer for Scotland, who re cently ventured on an expedition to the Peak. His scientific observation will of course be read with the greatest advantage in the original volume, but the article before us gives a summary of What is most remarkable in it, as well as a few introduc tory pages , .on the characteristics of that lonely island, which well deserve attention. Church yards are a favourite subject for the thoughful and reflective. Even if the writer confines himself to the niE re practical view, there is always something to attr set ihe curious and speculative reader in the different modes and ceremonies with which the varying nations and races have interred their dead. There is much to engege the reader in this paper, and the extracts from the different works on the subject give it a variety and freshness. The writer com ments on the miserable failures which have always attended the attempt to withstand the Creator's law of dust returning to dust. "Surely," he exclaims "it is better a thousand times to bury our dead from oar sight than to preserve a hideous mockery of the beloved form." The method of urn sepulture excites equal indignation. "Only think of a man pointing to half-a-dozen urns on his mantlepiece and chellonier and saying, There the wicksu cease from troubling, and there the weary are at rest.'" Epitaphs and monumental inscriptions must necessarily find a place in such an • article, and an interesting selection is made ; some long and elaborate, others brief and emphatic, like the " Miserrimus," which inspired Wordsworth. or the happier " Ernigravit," which marks the tomb of Albert Darer. Among the celebrated writers who have lent their aid in commemorating the dead are Ben Jensen, Pope, and Walter Scott ; but few inscriptions can be more impressive than the plain stores that cover ths resting placss of John Howard and the "Man of Ross. " The papers on Natural History are continued, and tell us SAME) of the peculiarities of man-of-war birds, boobies, and noidi e s. "Con sumption in the Guards" is the title of a paper which treats of thejquestion of military sauitary re • form, which has lately attracted so much public attention. " Catarina in Venice" is the first part of a Study on the Lagoon, written in a dreamy style, not without ability and interest. The most attractiveof the remaining papers is one on Petrie's ' Ancient Music of Ireland. The rich variety and the mournful pathos of those beautiful Celtic airs , must be familiar to most lovers of music. There is much truth in the following remarks, which, treating of the great principles of:Art, are equally applicable to the sister arts of Poetry and Paint ing in the present day : " But it is not only on account of its historic interest • that we plead for the study of national music. Our loving care is justly claimed by the pure and beautiful melody to be found among the still surviving relics of ancient song. Arising, as this music has done, from the breast of man in his untutored state, these songs, at first the improvisation of some unknown artist, caught up by his children or companions, and chanted from place to - place, have gradually taken the form of purest melody, in which natural feeling speaks forth simply, unfettered by rules, and unrestricted by conventionalities. Time has borne witness to the truth of the assertion `that it is by force of Melody and not Harmony, theta, work endures successfully throughout all ages.' And yet how little is this truth acknowledged in the present da,y when it is the complaint of all who think and speak truly on the subject, that the great value pl'ced upon the technical and mechanical part of the art has brought our composers to a strange state. Their productions are no longer music; they wander far without the com pass of human feeling, and we can give them no re-' sponse from the mind and from the heart.' This ten dency in the present day to substitute mechanism for • thoughtful work, and the mere show of 'truth for truth ' itself, is to be lamented in other arts besides that of music. For the spirit, be it good or evil, which animates • one art will tell ia all ; aa3 on the truth or falsity of this animating spirit it is that' the greatness of art depends."
