The friendship of PILATE and HEROD seems des tined to perpetual reproduction. Despotic rulers of different nations can have their little quarrels, can appear to be irreconcileable, and yet let the crucifixion of something good be the object, and they shake hands the same day. It is for this rea son that we fear the Northern and Southern De mocrats in America will yet shaki bands before the Presidential election, because both parties, im placable as they now seem, desire "hove all things to throw out the anti-slavery canlidate. And it is, beyond doubt, for the same reason, that we now read of a " renewing of love" between Russia and Austria, between ROMANOFFS and HAPSBURGS. The " immense ingratitude" of Austria, and its bitted workings in Russian hearts, is all n2w to sub side. Excuses will be generously made by Russia for. Austria's cond*ct in 1854, and Austria, charmed with the generosity, will become more than ever ten derly attached to Russia. Even conflicting claims and objects in the outlying Christian provinces of the SULTAN will be compromised, and all will be amity. The telegraph has announced to Vienna, from St. Petersburg, "officially"—not only that the CZAR and his Government desire " perfect recon ciliation" with Austria, but that the good under standing ought never to have been interrupted; that the EMPERORS are to meet, and to put an end to the present state of things, so trying to the amiable dispositions of each. The reason for all this is not, indeed, far to seek. GARIBALDI is at Naples, and KL APK A is in Bul garia; KOSSUTH also is somewhere, not very far from the boundaries of Austria ; and there is a brave Hun garian foremost among the most skilful and success ful of GARIBALDI'S commanders—Col. TURR. Two first-rate military men, and a first-rate civilian, both Hungarians, are ready any moment to take the lead in a Hungarian insurrection. And such a n insurrection may take place on any opportune occa sion, such as a war in Venetia. All trustworthy accounts show that the Hungarians thoroughly understand their position. They are quiet and orderly from design. They know their strength; and, great as are their daily provocations from a German police and gendarmerie, they refuse to be irritated into any false move. De lay does not injure their cause. It only perfects their union, and the brutal and officious German agents of the HA.Psmatos will, they know, disappear before the first movement, as the Neapolitan police dropped from sight almost in a day—but too glad to escape the reward of their deeds. There are indeed some signs that even the young HAPSBURG and his councillors begin to understand that the Schwarzenberg system is as rotten as it is illegal. For ten or twelve years, the Germans at Vienna have been trying to make one homogeneous empire out of the most re markable agglomeration of diverse States in Eu rope. They recklessly defied the law of nations and solemn treaties in so doing ; and they now find that they have equally defied the dictates of So und policy, indeed of common sense. A ruler dealing fairly and equally with some half dozen larger and smaller nationalities, respecting the laws and customs of each, and prompting them to adopt mutually advantageous relations in trade er co mmerce, and public works, might have made himself a blessing to them all, incompetent as the smaller nations were to their own separate defence against powerful neighbours. Bat the reverse has been the case. It has been the recorded policy of the RAPsiatRGS to Overpower and degrade the kingdom which 'vita more than a match for their purely Ger man state. It s t an d s i n their archives as their steady, yet their mad policy, to make Hungary Catholic, . poor, ignorant, and thus to enslave i her. It s , however, a proof of the marvellous effect of municipally as well as politically free in titutioos that they could not do this. There is not a history of any nation of Europe which shows Inch a successful determination to keep vigorously . ' :.:::V., i.

England has advanced far, indeed, beyo, ad her in literature, arts, and science, but in rega' rd to struggles for freedom, we can hardly claix a pre-eminence. A lready the pride of the 11,4.PsauRG is beginning to ;bow to necessity. The Council of his own nomination has presented him with a draft scheme of separate administration of Hungary, anei of all the other provinces, to which, with some modification, he seems constrained to give his assent. The exact particulars are not yet before the world; and in dealing with a Jesuit-ridden monarch, these are of so much importance that it is unsafe to speak with decision. But the grand point we should think the Hungarians not likely to be turned from; they demand, not an oc t roye d c onstitution, one which, bestowed by an Emperor, can be revoked at his pleasure; hence their stern Lie fusal of the otherwise pretty liberal " patent" for 1 the Protestants of last September ; they insist on a return to the illegally abrogated constitution as it stood in 1841; they demand their historical rights, and, as a part of them, that the EM YEROR, if he desires to be their sovereign, should submit to be crowned King of HUNGARY, and take the legal oath to the constitution. No thing can be more certain than that FRANCIS .JosEPE reigns in Hungary only as a revolutionist, or as a conqueror by Russian bayonets ; and he probably shrinks from acknowledging his past errors, almost as much as from restoring to Hun gary the rights of which he has robbed her. The new Russian move is, therefore, plainly in tended to secure him better terms from his uncon querable subjects; neither he nor the Czar, we ima gine, can think that this country and Europe would tolerate a repetition of Russian intervention in Hungary. PASKIEWITCH can have no successor. That intervention to restore Austrian despotism over a self-emancipated country has cost this country dear. Not only have we lost a splendid commerce, which free Hungary was openingup to us; but the Russian attack on Hungary emboldened the suc cessful CZAR to his attempts on Turkish liberties, and thus led on to the Crimean war. Russia cannot I save Austria ; dare not if she could. The Hapsburg has now before him the fate of the Bourbon. He sees, as in a mirror, the effect of too late repentance. His own hours are becoming very circumscribed. Frank acknowledgement of the rights he has violated may yet save the loyalty of the Hunga rians, but he must be prompt. Swamped with enormous deficits in his Exchequer, and likely to have more than work enough in Venetia, very soon may the crisis come which would deprive the largest concessions of all their grace. If FRANCIS JOSEPH means to conciliate Hungary, it would seem to be now or never. May it be now ! We are sanguine now of better days for the letter-carriers. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY, the newly-appointed Postmaster-General, can hardly fail to recognise as first and foremost among the changes-for-the-better required at his hands the improvement of the condition of that most nume rous, laborious, and hitherto-neglected class of officials in his department. The letter-carriers throughout the United Kingdom, but especially the letter-carriers of the metropolis, are notoriously the most hardly-worked and the most poorly-paid of the public servants connected with the Post-office establishment. Their position in reality is one of very peculiar hardship. They are exposed to all weathers indiscriminately, clement and inclement, hail, rain, and sunshine. They carry about with them perpetually temptation, enhanced in force by its opportunities. Their occupation is one of par ticular responsibility. Yet, with all this universally admitted, in effect altogether undeniable, their pay is in reality the meanest little pittance. Heartened to a renewal of their agitation for relief, by the appointment of Lord STANLEY as the Earl of ELGIN'S successor, the letter-carriers of London, we were rejoiced to note, held a meeting on Wednesday, the result of which has about it, we cannot but think, a considerable degree of signi ficance. The resolutions passed at this meeting were indicative of a determination having been at length arrived at by the advocates of this most reasonable movement to appeal directly to the sense of justice and of humanity in the British House of Commons —in the event of their plea for redress to the new Postmaster General proving void (like all previous pleas of the kind) of any beneficial consequences whatsoever. That the application now addressed to Lord STANLEY will prove thus inoperative of all good to his petitioners we do not for one instant anticipate. Neither Lord STANLEY'S character nor his administrative career justify for one moment any such anticipation. The generous temperament of the noble lord, nay, every act of his throughout his public life, authorise us to assert at once with perfect confidence that the failure of the urgent appeal now made in this instance to his judgment and to his beneficence, to his common sense and his right feeling, is not to be looked for as in any way probable. But—in the event of that dim contingency —the matter will (it has at last been resolved) come point blank next session before the Commons House of Parliament. In testimony of the really grievous manner in • which the letter-carriers of the metropolis are un- L der-paid and over-worked, it was proved by reliable statistics, on Wednesday last, at the meeting al , ready referred to, a meeting holden in the City , road, at the Royal British Institution—it was demonstrated beyond all denial, by facts and figures admitting in no way of contradiction, that there has been now for a long while past a considerably more than average amount of illness in this particular class of this particular depart ment ! Illness described in so many w or d s as " weakness produced by want" —th e pr i nc i pal reme dies prescribed by the departmental medical atten dants being [in proof of this] cod liv er o il an d quinine, tonics, as it is well known, the most power ful and concentrated. What has rendered this con tinued neglect of the letter• carriers all the more poignantly felt by the sufferers themselves, h as been the circumstance that, while their grievances have been altogether and most obdurately over looked, the salaries of the higher officials, such, for example, as the assistant secretaries, have been simultaneously increased. Those salaries having been previously in no flagrant, or even recognisable, degree insufficient. Whereas the position of the unfortunate letter-carrier has been such, for a long while, that it could be spoken of, as it was actually spoken of on Wednesday last, without any extravagance, as " one of poverty, misery, and degradation." To enhance the cruelty of this treatment of the miserably under-paid and ungenerously over-worked letter carriers of the metropoli. ; to brim up the cup of their mingled poverty, misery, and (above all) degradation, the authorities have been recently (as the police reports have repeatedly shown of late) laying traps for the temptation of some of these unhappy men into larcenies neces sitating the completion of their wretchedness by the infliction of the felon's punishment. The in justice and cruelty of all this is in a inanner beyond the reach of exaggeration. It is like starving a child and then laying baits in its way of sweet meats and sugar plums. An unfortunate letter- EVENING, SEPPEMBER H, 1860. rHE S N, LONDON, TUESDAY carrier, married, let us say, and with a family of little children, painfully earning a few wretched shillings a week by an excess of toil resulting in his instance in physical weakness arising from ab solute want, is intentionally entrusted with letters containing marked money—with a view to test his power under those painful circumstances of resist ing temptation. If his probity is proof against the heartless lure—let him starve on his wretched dole as heretofore. If his conscience becomes warped and his honesty fails in the struggle —away with him to the alternation of the treadmill and the cell of the penitentiary. It is time that there should be an end put to this heartless system radiating from St. Martin's-le-Grand, as from an elabo rately organised source of poverty, with all its consequent physical misery and moral degradation. The position of a letter-carrier is, as we have said, necessarily and inevitably one of especial responsi bility. It is, consequently, for that very reason one that ought to be guarded against the risk of tempta tion—instead of having its temptations elaborately prepared and dexterously and heartlessly multi plied. We confidently submit the case of these hard working and, for the most part, thrifty and exem plary public servants, the letter-carriers of London, to the just and generous consideration of the newly installed Postmaster• General, Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY. We have on many occasions appealed with painful shame and just indignation to those who have long benefitted by the discovery of HENRY CORT in the manufacture of iron—that staple of our stupendous machinery ashore and afloat—and yet with but insignificant success, for his bereaved and almost destitute family. The Government pittance was just in the inverse ratio of the marvellous boon con ferred on the nation. Unfortunately such is the invariable reward of genius— As down he sails the stream of life With all its elements at strife : And when his bark is buried deep— Will Envy be the first to weep Accursed inheritance of worth— To shame the land that boasts his birth But, alas, so it has been in all ages— this envious malignity which will not acknowledge merit until it has passed away., leaving its virtue behind to be appropriated and t - urned to account by others. Such has been the fate a CORT, to his country's shame. Pensions and gifts. are bestowed on many who have done the nation no good, but who are the protegees or the hangers-on. of those in power or of those who have similar influence—witness the gross misap propriation of the twelve hundred thousand voted to literature, but diverted to party and other objects quite distinct from the original intention. Really, we denounce the favouritism of despotic Powers—but they, at least, are grateful for benefits received at the hands of genius, while in this free country it is quite the reverse. A man who is fortunate enough to make a bene ficial discovery is sure to be rewarded for his invention, and the patronage of the State leads to his fortune. Wit husit is far otherwise : obstacles innumerable rise, up in his path and obstruct his career, until he sinks wearied out with hopeless efforts, and borne) down with care and anguish, till his poor bet indignant heart breaks in the struggle. We insert in. another column a paper entitled " The CORT Ce,se," from the Engineer, by which we see that our esteemed friend, CHARLES MANEY, and 'others of the Institution of Civil Engineers, are doing their best to alleviate the forlorn condition of the CORT family. Let us hope that a generous public will make yet another effort to repair the disgrace which attaches to our common country, by restoring the unhappy family of HENRY CORT to comfort, if not to independence, and place them beyond the reach of want in their latter days. STRAND THEAT.Rz, The winter season at this elegant little theatre coni menced last evening in the presence of a very brilliant and fashionable audience. The novelty of the evening was a new comedietta from the pen of Mr. Selby, entitled " The Pet Lamb," and, from the adnirable manner in which it was supported, met with the most decided success. The plot of the piece is as follows :—Giatomo Tintoretto, the celebrated painter, has conceived a pasaon for Isadore Valone, who is about to be married to a friend of his own, Annibal Bra ganza, a braggart Neapolitan officer—such as no lady could possibly admire. The artist, who is planning an intrigue with Isadore, is interruptet by a young novice from the neighbouring convent, the Pet Lamb, who is directed by the Abbot to engage the cervices of Tintoretto to paint their patron saints, and learns from him of the approach ing marriage of his inaraorsta. lie determines upon steal ing her away before the wedding can take place, but as he is about to leave his studio for that purpose the officer enters, and announces that, having heard that his friend had ac cepted a challenge from a certain Marquis for an encounter that day, he had, as a matter of friendship, informed the governor, and procured the deputation of the Marquis on a secret and instant missbn—and at the same time an order for the arrest of the artist, who is to be confined to his own house until his antagonist should be so far on his journey as to prevent the passibility of the contemplated hostile meeting. In thic dilemma Tintoretto enlists the services of the young novice, who consents to personate the friar who was to have performed the marriage ceremony, and bring the intended bride to the studio of the artist, under the pretence that ha is conducting her to her affianced husband—for whom she of course has no great partiality, the match being a family arrangement made without her consent. Left to themselves a mutual explanation takes place between the aspirait for clerical distinction and the maiden, who have been playfellows from childhood, and it appears have loved each other but have never confessed it. When the novice finds butt Tintoretto's object is merely an intrigue he repents the part he has taken in the matter, de clares his own passion, fs accepted, grows valiant, frightens the military lover, bamboozles the artist, and finally, for swearing the convent, the cell, and the monk's frock, de termines to exchange into the army and marry, and thus brings about the expected climax. The principal parts were admirably sustained by alias C. Saunders, Miss Bufton, and Mr. Parselle, and from the enthusiastic applause that fol loWed the descent of fhe curtain, a long and successful run may confidently be expected.

PRENEZ GARDE. Stockwell. His Imperial Highness the Prince Napoleon (with a numerous smite) is prolonging his stay at the Brims wick Hotel. His Imperial Highness entertained a dis tinguished party to dinner last evening at his hotel. His Excellency the Marquis d'A zeglio is expected to arrive at the Sardinian Legation at the end of the week from brief leave of absence in Belgium. The Duke of Rutland has given up yachting for the season, and gome to Longsbawe Lodge, his shooting• box, in Derbyshire, where his grace will receive a select circle of friends. The Duke of Devonshire and Lady Louisa Cavendish have le ft Bolton Abbey, Yorkshire, for Holkar Hall, Milnethorpe, to pass a few weeks previous to repair ing to Hardwicke Hall, near Chesterfield, for the winter. The Marquis of Lansdowne and the Earl and Countess of Shelburn a left Lansdowne House yesterday for Bowood Fark, Wilts, for the autumn. Count and Countess de Jarnac have arrived at Thomastown Caside on a visit to Viscount and Lady Isa. bella de Chabot. The Countess. of Bective is, we are glad to learn, recovering satisfactorily from her recent very severe illness. The noble earl an a countess, accompanied by Mrs. Thomp son, her ladyship"E :mother, have removed from Virginia House, county Ca van, to Bray, for change of air, which is likely to prove beneficial to her lady s hip' s wea k ene d h ealth. _ _ _ _ ---- --- Lord and Lady Raglan are making a round o. visits in the north of Scotland. Baron James de Rothschild has arrived at Wa [ace's Hotel, St. G eorge's-place, from Paris. The Right H on. W, F. and Lady Louisa Tighe will receive a select circle of friends at Woodstock, their seat in Ireland, during the week. His Excellency the Earl of Carlisle is expected. to be among their guests. Sir M. Robert arid Lady Octavio Shaw Stewart have arrived at Dui Irobin Castle on a visit to the Duke of Sutherland, who is surrounded by a select family circle, including the Marq ilia and Marchioness of Stafford, Lords Albert and Ronald ILeveson Gower, the Earl and Lady Con stance Grosvenor. Viscount Belgrave and Lady Elizabeth Grosvenor, Mr. Las , celles, The duchess was expected to arrive at Dunrobi n on Saturday last. The agents of /Garibaldi in Liverpool have pur chased for the sum of £9,000 the steamer Cambria, formerly belonging to the Cunard Engl. The sale was effected through Messrs. Paton and M'Nichol, of Liverpool. We (Liverpool Mercury) understand that the marriage of Lady Emma Charlotte Smith Stanley, only daughter of the Earl of Derby, to the Hon. Wellington Patrick Manvers Chetwynd Talbot, brother of the Earl of Shrewsbury, is fixed for Thursday, the 4th of October, at Knowsley Church. The bride is in h er 26th year; the bridegroom was born i n 1817. He was once a captain of the 7th Foot, was formerly aide-de-camp to the Lord- Lieutenant of Ireland ;. was appointed Comptroller of the Household in 1845 ; liQutenant-colonel of the Staffordshire militia in 1853 ; priva to secretary to the Earl of Derby, 1852 ; British resident at Cephalonia, September, 1855 ; and Sergeant-at-Xrms in. attendance on the Lord Chan cellor, December, 1858—an office which he now holds. There is no doubt that on the nuptial day there will be great rejoicings at liruolvsley and a display amongst th e tenantry of the noble lord, only excelled by the late grand volunteer review at Knowsley-park. INDIAN ARMY.—.A return has been issued, show ing that it cost no less than £259,138 to bring back to Eng land the soldiers who were dischargedfrom the Indian army in 1858, on their assertion that they were only enlisted to serve the East India Company. The number of these dis charged soldiers was 3.0,235, but 119 re -enlisted in India for service in China. ROYAL NAVAL tIESERVE.—We are authorised to sate that the proposal to admit officers of the mercantile marine to honorary rank in the Royal Naval Reserve has been very favourably entertained by the Admiralty, and that on the return of her Majesty from Scotland an Order in Council will be obtained, and a proclamation issued, set ting. forth the terms on which this loyal tender of service will be accepted.—Shipping Gazette. A GOOD EXAMPLE.—On Saturday last 200 men and boys in the employment of Messrs. Owen and Mertens, of the composite candle and chymical works, Millwall, Poplar, accompanied by their wives and families, proceeded in vans to Hampton -court. Messrs. Owen and Mertens had granted the men a holiday, and at the same time pre sented to each of them the sum of 3s. One of the firm met the party at the palace, and entered with them heartily into the enjoyment of the day. ip yo ill w ! ih a 2_4 .1j 1.3 1 ;L .12-4 V V A-7 • The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Reuter's office : BOLOGNA, SEPT. 10. The town of Urbino has been fortified. The pro visional Government has proclaimed the annexation of the province of Urbino to Sardinia amid shouts of " Victor Emmanuel for ever !" The Papal troops are discouraged, and are re tiring, they offer ni) resistance, but commit acts of ferocity on their passage. A state of siege has been proclaimed at Fano Sinigaglia and Pesaro. Five thousand Austrian mercenaries in the Papal service have arrived at Sinigaglia. The Sardinian consul has been obliged to leave Ancona. PARIS, SEPT. 11., The lifoniteur publishes the following : The Emperor, at the banquet given in his honour by the Chamber of Commerce, at Mar seilles, expressed his thanks for the reception he had met with, and said:— "It is this intimate union between people and sovereign which constitute our strength at home as well as abroad, and which has enabled us, not- withstanding great difficulties, never to pause on the march of progress. The desire for all that is good, the enthusiasm for all that is noble and use ful, cannot abate in our day, when circumstances are more favourable and tranquillity is the wish of all the world. "Although some envious murmurs reach us from afar, let us not be disturbed on that account, they will dissipate themselves against our indifference as the waves of the ocean break on our shores. Let us therefore labour to develop the resources of our country. The works of peace are in my eyes crowns as beautiful as those of laurel. In that future of national prosperity and greatness which I contemplate Marseilles occupies a prominent po sition. Its proximity to the military port of Toulon seems to me to represent the genius of France, holding in one hand the olive branch, but having her sword at her side. " I wish that this ancient Phocean city, by the mild influence of her trade, may induce the people of Europe to come and join their hands on the poetic shores of this sea, and to bury in the depths of its waters all the jealousies of another age." The Emperor concluded by proposing as a toast " The City of Marseilles !" PARIS, MONDAY EVENING. The Patrie publishes a telegram from Turin, stating that on the supposition that Piedmont would decide upon sending a Sardinian corps d'armee into the Papal States, the different Powers have addressed energetic representations to Sardinia de claring that the Pontifical Government has afforded Piedmont no pretext for this rupture. "It is not known," says the Paris, " whether this attitude of the Powers has modified the resolu tions of the Sardinian Government. Up to the latest dates, however, no Sardinian troops had crossed the Roman frontier. Some isolated bands, not belonging to the regular army, had alone entered the States of the Church." The same journal adds :—" A state of siege has been proclaimed at Ancona. The King of Naples is still at Gaeta, and it was reported that he would shortly embark for Spain." VIENNA, SEPT. 11. The Presse of to-day says :—ln a debate on the budget for Public Worship, which took place in yesterday's sitting of the Reichsrath, the President of the Chamber of Commerce, M. Maager, proposed a revision of the Concordat, and that the placing of all Christian confessions on an equal footing should become a principle of the Constitu tion. It was resolved to insert two additional para graphs in the report of the Committee of 21, in ac cordance with M. Maager's motion, viz., to abolish the differences between the positions of the con fessions as constituted by the subsidy at present granted to the Catholic Church and schools of public instruction, and in general to settle all ques tions respecting the religious confessions.

The well-informed Tlin correspondent of the Debats writes as follmvs:-- " TURIN, SEPT. 8. "I learn from an authentic source that the in surrection in the Marches has commenced. A detachment of Gen. Lamoriciere's troops has been defeated; 400 insurgents are under arms, and be fore to-morrow we may expect to hear that the whole country has risen. " Count Minerva, formerly Sardinian Ambas sador at Rome, left Turin last night, bearing to Cardinal Antonelli the notification (a sort of ulti matum) for the disbanding of the foreign troops. If the response is negative, as is expected, the army will cross the frontier. It will probably be on Monday or Tuesday. I have this informa tion from a good source. " Naturally everyone asks, What will Austria do P' lam not able to say, and my opinion, more over, is that these sort of questions can only be re solved by facts; but the uncertainty will not be of long duration. " Kossuth and Klapka are both at Turin. They live very retired. Kossuth leaves in a day or two for London. Count Teleky is also here." A letter from Genoa, on the 4th, in the Nord, says : " We are on the eve of great events, and I trust poor Italy will come out victorious, but Piedmont fears (rightly or wrongly) a determined attack from Austria. Confident hopes are placed in France, either as a powerful support, or, at least, in non intervention. " The interview which M. Farini and General Cialdini have just had at Chambery with the Em peror may be considered as the starting point of a new and bolder line of policy. Piedmont explained that she would be submerged in the whirlpool of events if she did not herself seize the rudder with a bold hand. Immediately after the return of M. Farini various Cabinet Councils were held under the direct presidency of the King. The troops are fast leaving the towns, either for the camps under formation or for the frontier, and are replaced by the National Guard at Turin, Florence, Milan, Genoa, &c. For the last two days detachments of troops, with band playing, are continually passing my windows to embark for Naples. Yesterday a battalion left on board the Isere, and a body of Garibaldians sailed at the same time on board the Amazone." ADELPIII 211EAT.RE. Undoubtedly one of the best and most interesting dramas produced within the new theatre was that represented last evening for the first time, entitled "The Colleen Bawn ; or, the Brides of Garryowen." The drama is founded on Gerald Griffin's popular tale " The Collegians," and has been written by Mr. Dion Bourcicault for the purpose of in troducing himself and wife to the playgoing public of the metropolis after an absence of seven years. Although the main incident in the drama is by no means new—viz., an Irish gentleman marrying a beautiful peasant girl, and then regretting the step he has taken—the minor details are so cleverly conceived and so admirably worked out that the old idea is forgotten by the interest created by the dif ferent underplots, if we may so call them, of the piece. In the opening scene we are introduced to Hardress Cregan, the heir to a ruined Irish estate, which has fallen into the clutches of a mortgagee, who is a villanous lawyer, has secretly married Eily O'Connor, a beautiful peasant, known as the " Colleen Bawn." The lawyer and mortgagee en tertains a passion for the mother of Cregan, and is willing to cancel his mortgage as the price of her hand in mar riage. An alternative, however, exists in the circumstance that it is possible that Anne Chute, an heiress, might be come the wife of Hardress but for the obstacle of his pre vious marriage. This becomes known to his mother at a very critical moment, and everything seems lost but for the intervention of Danny Man, the foster-brother of Hard ress, who offers to murder Eily. His proposal is rejected with horror by Hardress, but Danny declares that any time that he sends him his glove as a token that he consents, he will perform the duty he had offered to undertake. Mrs. Cregan contrives to send the glove to Danny, who, by means of a feigned message from her husband, inveigles Eily to accompany him in his boat to the Water Cave, in, the Lakes of Killarney. There one Myles-na-Coppaleen, a rejected lover of Eily's, who has established an illicit still, happens to be on the spot when Danny throws the girl into the lake ; although he does not see the deed itself. He only fires at and wounds Danny, whom he takes in the doubtful light for another ; but presently he sees the body of Eily in the water, plunges in, and rescues her. Hardress, thinking Eily dead, accepts the hand of Ann Chute ; but the wounded Danny Man crawls back to his cabin, and there, after suffering excruciating agony, he confesses the whole of the plot to Father Tom, a priest. The confession is overheard by the scheming lawyer, who instantly starts for Chute Castle, in order to procure the arrest of Hardress on the charge of murder. The. introduction of Eily by her brave protector Myles, sets all matters right ; and Har • dress, we need hardly say, receives from his proud but loving mother the hand of " the Colleen Bawn." The part of Eily, the Colleen Bawn, was very beauti fully sustained by Miss Agnes Robertson. i.e., Mrs Dion Bourcicault, and the character of Myles could not bave been better represented than it was by Mr. Bourcicault. It was one of those finished performances now rarely seen on the London stage, and forcibly reminded us of poor Tyrone Power. Besides being finished actors, Mr. and Mrs. Bourcicault are capital vocalists, and the specimen given last evening of their powers perfectly enchanted the audienee. Miss Woolgar has a capital part in the play, which she portrays to perfection. Mr. Falconer and Mr. Stephenson, the latter gentleman being new to London, both acquitted themselves in admirable style. The piece has been put upon the stage with the greatest taste and completeness, and the effects produced are really wonderful. The rescue of Eily from drowning by Myles, in the Water Cave, is perfectly astounding, from the natural manner in which the courageous act is performed. The Lakes of Killarney by Moonlight is also a very beautiful specimen of scenic art, as also is the Cottage of the Colleen B awn. The applause bestowed on the drama was universal, and a more successful reception has not taken place for many years. The house was crowded in every part long before the rising of the curtain. TIM CORI CASE. The case of the family of Henry Cort—" the father of the British iron trade," and therefore of modern engineering—has been so frequently before our readers that its merits and claims are well un derstood by them. Engineers above all others, and particularly Mr. C. Manby, the w hon. sec., and other officers of the Institution of Civil Engineers, have cheerfully contributed both money and in fluence towards the support of Mr. Richard Cort and his sisters (of the latter of whom but one now survives) in their old age. Ore other appeal has, however, become necessary, owing to the pre mature closing of the Manchester fund, which was so nobly commenced by Mr. Fairbairn and pro moted by Mr. Cobden, Mr. Bazley, and others. Into the causes of the closing of this fund it is un necessary to enter ; suffice it to say it was closed prematurely, but not until it had resulted in fur nishing a small annuity to Mr. Richard Cort. Mr. Cort is, however, still subject to certain liabilities, which have been incurred in his unwearied prose cution of the family's claims, and these have been augmented by the expenses of an unsuccessful journey of his to Paris, undertaken under the auspices of several English engineers, for the pur-s, pose of bringing the subject to the no ti ce o f F renc h' engineers, in which object he has unfortunately, I owing to accidental circumstances, failed. Before leaving Paris the nature of his visit became known to Mr. Cobden, who, with his wonted generosity, at once forwarded to Mr. Cort a note, of which the following is a copy : " Paris, 25th August, 1860. "My Dear Mr. Cort,—l am very sorry that your visit here should have been so fruitless. But your friends must not allow you to be a loser by the journey, and I beg you to accept the enclosed. Wishing you a pleasant voyage, " I remain, truly yours, "R. COBDEN." It has been felt that Mr. Cobden is right in wishing to relieve Mr. Cort of these burdens, which, though small in themselves, press heavily on a man of seventy-six years of age ; and it has been decided to raise, if possible, £lOO for the pur pose of setting Mr. Cort free from them. The sum mentioned will suffice for the purpose, and we sincerely hope it will speedily be sub scribed. In accordance with the desire of Mr. Manby and the Committee, we have ourselves con sented to receive the subscriptions, and several of our contemporaries have agreed to aid us iu pro moting the matter. The names of numerous sup porters of the " Cort claims," including sixty M.P.'s and one hundred other eminent authorities, iron manufacturers, and engineers, may be seen recorded in the Library of the Institution of Civil Engineers. We shall publish a statement of what is sent for the.purpose. It will scarcely be necessary for any to subscribe large sums, and we shall be happy to receive contributions, however:small. Cheques and post-office orders should be made payable to our publisher, Mr. Bernard Luxton, 163, Strand, London.—Engineer. An Elberfeld paper says that it is the intention of the Prince Regent of Prussia to confer on the Queen of England the nominal command of the new 2d Regiment of Dragoons of the Guard, as well as the order of the Black Eagle. This decoration, the highest Prussian order, has hitherto been conferred upon only two female sovereigns. THE NATIONAL GALLEEY.—Yesterday the Na tional Gallery was closed to the public tntil further notice for alterations. It is customary for the gallery to bo closed at this period of the year for a six weeks' vacation, but from the extensive nature of the alterations about to be effected the reopening will be deferred beyond the custo mary period in October. ITALY. The Siecle has the following observations on Garibaldi's extraordinary career within the last few months : a A man, accompanied by a few volunteers, sails from the environs of Genoa in the night of the 6th May, on board a vessel which is not even his own property. He goes to liberate several millions of oppressed people, and to overthrow a powerful monarchy ; he is stigmatised as a brigand, and all the penalties inflicted on pirates are invoked on his devoted head; the cry is raised that both he and his followers ought to be hanged from theyardarms of their vessel. On the 7th September this man has almost accomplished the task he had under taken ; the monarchy he assailed is de facto over thrown. A nation is delivered. Now, which are the wise counsellors ? Those who advise sovereigns to make concessions to the spirit of the age, or the flatterers who promise them a protracted reign if they will but resist all progress ? The answer is easy now. The King' of Naples is a fugitive. Another dynasty has fallen, though surrounded by soldiers and well provided with cannon and gold ; another hope of the counter-revolutionists has fallen away. But the men bent on the ruin of princes still persist in giving the same pernicious counsels. ' The King of Naples has fallen,' say 'they,' but General de Lamorciere still remains; he will fight, he will ; he is ready, and the revolu tion will be overcome.' Wretched counsellors ! They are not satisfied with their work ; they want more catastrophes ! Nevertheless, how easy the dynasty of Naples might have escaped destruc tion ! Warnings were not wanting. Four years ago, during the Conferences of Paris, did not Europe, by the voice of her diplomatists, unanimously de clare to the King of Naples that he was courting destruction by his bad Government, that he was gathering around him all the elements of revolution P Was he not in a manner implored to adopt a different policy ? *Was he not duly informed of the abyss that lay before him." The general success of the Italian leader is thus surnamed up : " Five marvellous stages—Marsala, Palermo, Milazzo, Reggio, and Naples—performed in the short space of three months, have been all that Garibaldi required, supported as he is by the na tional sentiment, to overthrow a monarchy deemed immovable ; which, not yet four years since, defied France and England; which, in face of the naval preparations of the two greatest Powers in the world, had determined to persevere in its resistance." A letter from the camp of Chalons says :—" The belief here is that the camp will be raised towards the end of September, so as to have by the Ist Oct. no one in tents. It is said that a division of cavalry from Luneville is to come here for a week or ten days, to take part in the last great manoeuvres ; and that the cavalry division new in the camp is to go to this last-named town." The Sicilian Official ,Tournal contains several decrees of a local character, but in so far remarkable, that from the Ist inst. they are headed : "In the name of H. M. Victor Emmanuel, King of Italy," whereas, the heading used to be : " Italy and Victor Em manuel." The laws of Sardinia are being published gradually in the above journal. AMERICA. QUEENSTOWN, MONDAY.

Exchange on London at New York was quoted 1091 110. Money had advanced. Stocks were rather lower, MONTREAL, AUG. 30. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales re viewed yesterday the troops of the garrison and the volunteers. LONDONDERRY, MONDAY. The Montreal Ocean Company's steamer North American, Captain Aiton, from Quebec on the Ist inst., has arrived here, and landed all the mails. She passed the Palestine on the 3d inst. The Prince of Wales's passage up the Ottawa river was very pleasant. The villages along the banks were decked with flags, the population turning out and firing salutes and ringing bells in his honour. At the mouth of the Gatineau, two miles from Ottawa city, the Prince was met by six steamers, dressed out with flags, and by a flotilla of 150 bark canoes, manned by lum bermen. The whole formed an aquatic proces sion, and escorted the Prince to the city, where he landed at sunset under a salute from the volunteer artillery. Two hundred thousand per sons were assembled, and wonderful enthusiasm was manifested. The mayor presented an address, but a sudden shower of rain coming on spoilt the ceremony. The Prince entered the down streets, which were decorated with beautiful arches, and afterwards laid the corner-stone of the new Parliament Building on the Ist instant. A numerous crowd was present. He afterwards went down a timber shoot, on a raft, and theta went in a canoe to witness the canoe races of the lumbermen and Indians. MONTREAL, SEPT. 1. In flour large sales have been effected.

PAUL DE FLOTTE.—The Messager du Midi gives the following particulars concerning M. Paul de Flotte, forn-erly representative of the people, who was killed the other day in Calabria at the head of a body of foreign volunteers :—" Before joining Garibaldi M. de Flotte had been for seven years employed in the adminis tration of the railroad from St. Dizier to Gray. Under an assumed name—which was, I believe, Etienne Mailhet—he occupied a place of 3,600 f. a year. In this naw position, and under his new name, he did not busy hi mse lf w ith po litics. He preserv e d a neutral attitude, and acted in a manner to allow no one to suspect that Etienne Mailhet was the So cialist ex - representative De Flotte. It appears that for two years the p o li ce h ad no suspicion of him ; one day the truth became known, b u t th e C entra l A dm i nistration gave orders to its ag ents to shut their eyes and leave De Flotte in the exercise of hi s new f unctions.

The Chevaliers : a Tale. With a.True Account of an American Revival. By Maria Louila Birkin shaw. Simpkin, Marshall, and Co. This is an amusing tale, which presents many interesting features of American life, and which will be a change for those who are tired of stories of home. The description of the revival will be found very entertaining, and it is remarkably well done. It is satisfactory to find that William Vaughan spoke against such absurdity, which, carried on in such a manner, became almost profane. There is nothing more extraordinary and extravagant than the manner in which those meetings are carried on. The tale itself is not pleasing, but it represents the folly of people acting on impulse, like Mary when she married William. As might have been ex pected from such a beginning, the marriage turned out most unhappily, Leila is a very charming girl, and in George Singleton she met one in every way worthy of her. The misfortunes she and her widowed mother underwent are most affectingly described. It was an imprudent thing for two females to attempt arranging a complicated law suit by themselves, and had it not been for the opportune arrival of Singleton the consequences might have been very serious. This book is worth perusing by those who wish for an entertaining narrative which gives on the whole a fair view of many important transactions of life, and which affords a great variety in its descriptions. The Corsair and his Conqueror. By H. E. Pope. - Bentley. The author of this pleasant book of travels was induced to spend a winter in Algiers for the benefit of his health, and the particulars he gives as to climate, epidemics, &C., will b e o f serv i ce t o th ose who propose visiting Africa on a similar errand. His work consists rather of sketches of Algerine life and habits than of a description of the country, and aims more at being a pleasant and readable volume than a dry record of facts and journeys. He gives numerous amusing anecdotes and enlivens his pages by frequent quotations, though the in flated style of a young writer is sometimes percep tible. At the conclusion of the book we find a brief outline of the history of Algiers, from the days when its corsairs were the terror of Chris tendom down to its present occupation by the French. We subjoin a few extracts as fair samples of the style and character of the book : THE CHAMELEON. I hat singular reptile, the Chameleon, may be purchased occasionally in the market. It has a long thin body and a large head, with the most hideous mouth that can well be conceived, while its eyes—like diminutive brilliants set in globes of green leather—protrude from their sockets, and and have the singular power of looking different ways at once, so that while one optic may be apparently directed to an object in front, the other turns slyly to see that no trea son is going on behind. Its four feet are jointed in the manner of the human arm, each foot being terminated with three long claws, like fingers, with which it slowly picks its journey. Its method of locomotion is extremely quaint and amusing, especially in climbing trees. First it gives a careful glance round to see that all is safe, and then slowly advances its front leg, opening the claws like an elderly gentleman about to shake hands. Having grasped a twig, it pauses for another moment, looks round again, and then seizes the twig with the other claw. The same o peration is performed with the two hind legs, till it rests al together on the twig, around which it curls its tail, as it lot oks care fully about for another step in its singular progrei is. The original idea of its subsisting entirely on air has no w given place to the more rational theory of small flies or ae rial ani macula3, which, by quickly darting out its long tc rogue, it is enabled to entrap. That it has the power of c hanging to blue or white is also an undoubted exaggeration , but, at the same time, it is capable of materially altering its shade from a greenish yellow to a dark green, according to the dark or light colour of the object whi c h it may• wish to resemble. I placed a chamelon, one day, on a tabkt strewn with pale coloured leaves, and remarked, as it pi eked its way along, that it was of a colour almost similar to the vegetation. I produced a red silk handkerchief, witih which I partially covered it, and was surprised to see that in an instant it had altered its hue to the darkest imaginable shade, while, on again removing the handkerchief, it im mediately assumed its former pale yellow tinge. It is clearly apparent, therefore, that this wondrous gift is bestowed on it (like the foetid stench the " skunk " is saic i to emit, or the inky fluid of the scuttle fish) for the purpose, of self-pro tection, in order that by assuming as nearly as possible the shade of surrounding objects it might thus he enabled, in almost every instance, to bate the pursuit and escape the detection of an enemy, however powerful and vigi lant. A BRIDAL SUPPER. After another half-hour of grim anecdote we descended en masse to the courtyard and ranged ourselves rovind one long supper table, my friend and self being placed. in the seats of honour, opposite the bride. In deference to our European tastes (as our Jewish friend informed us) a knife and fork had been placed for each of us, the rest; of the company not caring for superfluities of the sort. Then commenced the repast. Olives stewed in a peculiar manner, whereby the original villainy of their taste was much en hanced, were handed round, and a few dozens heaped on my plate by the assiduity , of my hospitable friend. The flavour of the first I tasted had a striking restimblance to bad sea- water, and to swallow another seemed tto be a hope less idea—so I had nothiug to do but to stare hard at my plate and lift my fork occasionally to my mouth as though I were enjoying them beyond measure. Howevt Ir, my en tertainer saw through the shallowness of the artifice, and asked tee rather sharply if I considered the olives unclean. I assured him that I had no such prejudice, but on the contrary was merely refraining from in'tdulging too much in them lest they might spoil my ,appetite for another course. He looked dubiously at me, and dishes of boiled fish being placed on the table, Heemed determined to test the truth of my assertions by vetting about half a pound thereof before me. The flavour—if flavour there had ever been—was entirely boiled out, and as there was neither sauce nor bread I doubt whether it were even preferable to those disgusting olives. However set to with a good grace and devoured at least half the plate ful, and immediately after that a fabulous quantity of fowl stewed literally to rags. The ladies seemed to enjoy the meal uncommonly, taking huge pieces of fish. with the henna'd tips of their bejewelled fingers, and tearing the flesh of the fowls from the bones with their teeth as raven ously as a set of half •starved cats. The bride herself seized a leg, gnawed it a little, and finding it not to her taste handed it to a younger sister who sat next her, and who was already busy over a wing. The morsel, however, not appearing remarkably tempting to the l a tt er young lady-she threw it back to the bride, and a prettylittle altercation en sued, the result of which was that the mutilated member was jerked across the table towards my plate, and there left for the remainder of the repast —an object, as may be imagined, by no means provocative of further appetite. After the fowls I entirely lost my reckoning among the weird dishes which were placed one after the other with terrible swiftness on the table, and found it impossible to tell at length whether it was of flesh or fish that I was the unhappy partaker. How truly fortunate was Sancho Pan= as the dishes were snatched away one by one ere he had time to taste of them. Oh, for a medical attend ant such as his, behind me 1 A peculiar kind of herb soup concluded the ent er t a i nment, and I rose to take my leave—convinced by th e symptoms of i n di gestion which hung about me days afterwards that, like Lord Mauleverer, the terribl e supper h a d comp l etely " got into my system." A JEW OUTWITTED. It was in one of these bazaars that a Jew out-Jewel himself, and got "sold" in so delicious a manner that I cannot help giving the benefit of it to the courteous read.er. Not very long ago, a tough old Zouave stalked along be tween the rows of opposition "stalls" with a face indicative jingled thirty francs in his hand, and eyed the faces of the m erc h ants i n the of unusual distress and anxiety. He same manner in which Uncle Tom was supposed to have scrutinised the countenance of his probable master at the slave auction. At length he announced in a loud tone of voice that he had borrowed some money of some one in the bazaar,whose facehe could not recollect, and was anxious to identify the lender in order that he might pay him his due. No one put forward a claim, and a second time he repeated the announcement. At length a Jew, issuing from the re ceases of a dark shop, approached him, and represented him self as having advanced the money, the circumstance having escaped his memory till that moment. The Zouave, poor fellow I seemed perfectly overcome with the idea of being honest for once in his life, and immediately trans ferred the "vital metal" into the palm of the Israelite, who passed a high eulogium on his probity. When he had fairly pocketted it, in the presence of the crowd, which of course assembled at so unusual an occurrence, the Zouave coolly asked for the watch which he alleged to have given in pawn for the money. The Jew, wrapt in ecstaoy most robably at the idea of finding one righteous man in this honest world, appe are d not to heed the last demand, toned slowly o n hi s h eel. But the Zouave repeated it will rather a mena c i ng gesture, and the crowd, too, joined honest in the debate. Th e d escendant of the Patriarchs changed colour, and stammered mostdolefully—a defect which is no joke in Arabi c — attempting, at the same time, to slink back gged fi o n f din th g e hi soldier mself t again into hi s s h op. But the Zouave was no man of straw, and the Je w , be sorry," to o e centre of him to a s p o t f a very unpleasant circle, be where they cou ld b e alone and adjust matters. " I should said he, " to deprive you a your watch, as your intentions seem to be so honourable, but, at the same time, it is difficult during the multifarious transactions in which I am generally engaged to lay my hand on it at once." Quid multi ? The Zouave walked away with hush-money that jingled to the tune of a couple of hundred francs, and won besides a large bet which he had offerei to a comrade, who never suspected that a Jew could be such a fool as to claim a fictitious debt in inn brunt of the public gaze.
