The public is most respectfully informed that the FINE ARTS GALLERY, in connection with the above Hall, IS NOW OPEN DAT AND NIGHT, from 11 o'clock a.m. until 12 )'clock p.m. The New Gallery contains an extensive Collec .lon of Pictures, by Ancient and Modern Masters '.and is also devoted to Art productions generally. The Proprietor feels he may confidently assert that, viewed altogether, the exist inry hall, the New Fine Arts Gallery, and the recently added Ante-Hall, will present an attraction which, whether as regards the architectural beauty of the structures them selves, or the varied and hitherto unattempted combinations within, will be fOund to be wholly without parallel in the Kingdom. The MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT commences as usual at Seven o'clock. In. addition to the usual entertainment, the SAUVLET FAMILY, of Amsterdam, Eight in number, whose varied instrumental performances have created so marked a sensa tion in the principal cities and towns of the Continent, will perform every Evening at Nine and Elev‘m o'clock.

The diplomatist who " invented speaking the truth," who displayed perfect candour on every important and interesting topic, was a great genius. He discovered the absurdity of continually trying to throw dust in the eyes of all with whom he was concerned, and by simple and straightforward con duct, achieved results which no degree of skill could have obtained. It would be well if the Im perial occupant of the Tuileries could be convinced of this salutary fact. He seems to fancy that the rest of Europe ca-. - 4 be bamboozled by a semi-official article in the Moniteur,which binds him to nothing —gives no real assurance to Europe, and may be disavowed at any moment. LOUIS NAPOLEON is now acting the part of the " injured innocent." He is astonished at the atti tude assumed by Germany—wonders why there should be the slightest doubt as to the integrity and purity of his purpose. His intentions are honourable, and therefore, the formidable demonstrations 'which he has displayed must not in any degree be questioned. Germany should rest tranquil, in the full belief of his pacific views, and refrain from making prepa rations for defence, equivalent to those which he has made, and is making, for attack. Credit for any qualities, more especially for tru and honour, is a very g reat advantage. It is th at which renders honesty the best policy, and m a k es a good name and reputation even better than wealth. It is the same with nations as with in dividuals ; and Loins NAPOLEON is beginning to discover that great fact. His policy for some time past has been to keep Europe in a perpetual state of disturbance. In January and February, 1858, we had the truculent letters of the insolent sabreurs desirous of invading England, and all published in the Noniteur, to prove that they met with Imperial approval. There was at first a 'truckling on the part of the British Government, but when Lord MALMESBUItY succeeded Lord CLAREXDON this was altogether altered, and England was treated with the respect to which it was entitled, and which, in any emergency, it would be sure to command. Then came, six months later, the affair of the " Charles et Georges." Portugal was not a first class power, and could therefore be bullied with impunity. Arbitration NS' a s rejected. The good offices of England were disregarded with the most profound contempt by the c l ause intrc duced by Count WALEWSKI at, the Conference of Par i s . The bluster and " bunkum" succeeded. The Cabinet of Lisbon yielded gracefully to superior force, and fairly earned the thanks and gratitude of the civilised world for its judicious moderation. But Louis NAPOLEON s eems to require excite- ment. Scarcely had he got out of the Portuguese difficulty than he dashed into another of a more formidable description. The year 183 S closed with every prospect of peace and tranquillity for Europe Money was easily obtainable, and interest and discounts exceedingly low—stocks of every descrip tion were rising in the markets and Bourses of every nation. The ursine fraternity were the only parties displeased, because the universal satisfac tion betokened improved quotations. But they were not long left in the lurch. Louis NAPOLEON came to their relief. His indiscreet, and, we must add, most momentous address to the Austrian Minister on the first day of the New Year, coupled with the speech of VICTOR EMMANUEL at the open ing of the Chambers at Turin, and the indecent sacri fice of poor little Princess CLOTILDE, were all favour able to the speculators for a fall. Five or six per cent. was the average reduction. Sixty millions at least were sacrificed, and the people of France sustained their fair proportion of the general loss, occasioned by the reckless policy of their autocratic ruler ! The preparations for war, still so perseveringly continued, have not by any means decreased the alarm by the rash speeches above alluded to. Deeds, not words, are required, and the French EMPEROR would find that abandoning some portion of his arrangements for war would be far more satisfac tory to other nations than any vague statement put forward, either through the 3loniteur or other Ministerial organs. The German States see them selves threatened, or at least a strong menace held out to one of the leading members of the Con federation. Without holding out any threat, without uttering a single expression disrespectful to France, they declare their decided resolution to support any of their Allies in the case of an unwarrantable attack. And this more than justifies the statements that have been put forward. If Louis NAPOLEON desires to obtain the good opinion of others he must get rid of the system which has excited so much reasonable alarm, and occasioned so much expense to every European power. The small borough of Harwich is now appealed to at a moment when its voice will tell for some- thing. It has an opportunity of showing Reform Bill makers that the smaller constituencies are worth something after all ; and if they must per- haps submit to a schedule B that they are yet worthy to escape the awful schedule A. Harwich has, latterly, figured among our Liberal con stituencies, and now, if ever, is the time for the town to prove that it is, really, liberal. It is to its honour that it recently met charges of corruption by sending its vote to Parlia ment on behalf of the Ballot ; and that honour we trust it will still retain. The Hon. W. F. CAMP- BELL, who is now a candidate to represent the borough, has done himself great credit by his speeches on the Ballot. There are scores, we fear, among the two hundred and thirty-eight who have voted for it in the House of Commons, who have never thought on the subject, and whose vote represents, indeed, the opinion of their constituents, but represents no reflection or obserration of their own. We wish we had not to fear that their vote is often in opposition to their own wishes, merely proving how strong is the feeling of the electors whom they at least feel bound to serve. The lion. W. F. CAMPBELL is no such mere tyro, and his professions are no mere echo of the notions of others. His addresses on the Ballot have been marked by a character of their own. Perhaps we might not accept all his arguments or illustrations but they please us so much the more. They show independent thought, and careful and vigorous thought, too ; we should like every elector of Harwich to read them, and we think they would agree with us that the author of such well-consi dered statements could not be classed with the ordinary Al.P.'s who merely serve to swell a division list. He must be listened to with respect in the House of Commons, not only because he is a peer's son, but because he would, intellec tually, be so much more than the peer of many around him. It is gentlemen of this stamp on whom we may rely to stand firmly by the opinions we send them to advocate. They do not put them on as our livery, but we choose them, because they came to us in their own dress, and it is one we like. If our humble advice should reach any of the electors of Harwich, we would take the liberty to remind them that, just now, indeed it has been so for some time, the Ballot is the distinguishing line between real and merely professed Liberals. A candidate who, from conviction, like Mr. CAMP BELL, supports the Ballot, plainly says—" I wish you to elect me; I do not rely on connection with the wealthy, or the influential among you—l ask no man to vote for me because he has a landlord, or a lawyer, or a banker, or a customer, or an employer, whose goodwill I have gained I ask him not to double, or treble, or quadruple, or quintruple the vote of another man, who already has a vote of his own, and who ought to be content with that—l ask each elector 'to do his own voting,' and I urge it as one of my best claims on electors, that I will do my utmost, if they re• turn me, to enable all the electors cf England to ' do their own voting.' " We cannot conceive how any honest candidate can object to the Ballot. He cannot be an honest one if he wishes to be elected 11 , otherwise than by the unbiassed votes of the electors. And if this is all he wants, if he feels confident that he has claims which they can appre ciate, what difference can it make to him that their votes are guarded against purchase or intimidation ? Rather he must prefer that the secrecy of the vote should be the evidence that he has not even attempted to tamper with it. We should hardly have noticed the case of an individual election, had we not, for some time re garded the course of Mr. CAMPBELL with pleasure, and did we not feel that every vote, at this crisis, has more than ordinary value. We have had occasion to comment on Mr. CAMPBELL'S reason ings on the subject of protection to the voter, and we then felt that we could wish he should have an opportunit y o f expressing them in a house where they are not y e t so accep t a bl e as th ey mus t n b e come, if that house is u to numerous o b u e s maeceeteipntgasblseinct since the. th e people.

For ourselves, long observation has satisfied us that we would rather have the Reform of the Ballot, than any possible Reform Bill without it. Liberate, we say, as the first thing, the present electors, for you really do not fairly know either their numbers or their minds. Free voting would induce thousands to poll who now will not, and free voting would also create thousands of independent votes out of those which are now but the unfair multiplication of some electoral tyrant's vote.

It is worse than mockery to propose to disfranchise this or that small borough " because it must be exposed to undue influence," while that " undue influence" is tolerated by wholesale in counties and in manu facturing t9wns. Rather, we say, give us the Bal lot, and let other things be as they are. Above all, if you enlarge the c onstituencies, protect the voters you create. The double enfranchisement of the 4 Ballot, and of additional voters, is the true Reform Bill. cated at Berlin. The visit of Prince Souvarow to Paris is attributed to the same cause. France having publicly declared her pacific intentions through the columns of the Moniteur, it is now Austria's turn to respond to public opinion in Europe, and not to persist too obstinately in her pretensions," Sir HENRY STORKS has deemed it expedient to prorogue the new assembly at Corfu for six months. He was quite right in so doing. They have displayed the greatest insubordination and contempt of the presiding authorities. Their sympathies are altogether with Russia. It is not for the Govern ment of King OTHO they pine, but for that of the Autocrat. They are fortunate in being under British government. Were it otherwise they might discover that the rope or fusillade, the galleys or the dungeons, would be the retribution for their ridiculous conduct. They have, in fact, been too much petted, and the publication of the papers improperly taken from the Colonial-office has increased their reckless folly. They are, in fact, like spoiled children, who will not be contented until they receive salu tary, chastisement. The lonians have well merited the lash, and if they cannot behave themselves better it will be laid on, and that with no gentle hand. Every degree of kindness has been exhibited. The utmost indulgence has been displayed, but all in vain. The greater our forbearance the greater has been their insolence. This untoward state of affairs cannot be much longer tolerated, and Great Britain must at last adopt the policy of the old man in the fable, who finding that "words and tufts of grass" were unavailing was compelled to try what " virtue there might be in stones."

Benedict, as conductor of this association, evidently bestows an earnest interest in his duties, which goes far to insure the invariable success crowning the entertainments. A great ac commodation is presented on these occasions by the absence of full dress ceremony, which allows visitors to enjoy an evening's delightful amusement without the fuss of employing a carriage or requiring the extraneous toilette arrangements of artificial flowers and white neck-ties. We can cordially and warmly recommend these charming concerts to the notice of the music-loving public. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CALCUTTA, TUESDAY, FEB. 8. THE MONEY MARKET.—An extraordinary meet ing of the directors of the Bank of Bengal was held on the 24th ult., and on it breakinc , up we learnt that the minimum rates of interest had been raised 1 per cent. all round. This move was attributed to the tightness of the money market at Bombay, and large demands thence being expected here. On the 26th ult. Government issued a notification that subscription in part to the 5 per cent. loan of the 31 per cent. promissory notes would be closed after the 30th of April next, after which only cash or bills of the new denomination would be received. A new loan was advertised on conditions novel to this market, viz.; that the Sub-Treasurers of the three Presidencies were authorised to receive sub scriptions for Treasury Bills after the manner of Exchequer Bills in England, and bearing interest at the rate of 3 pies, or one-fourth of an anna, per day for every 100 rupees. This rate is equal to 5 and 7-10ths per annum. These bills are to be payable on demand after the expiration of one year from the date of issue. They will also be received at the expiration of that period in payment of Government revenue, or in subscrip tion to the present 5 per cent. loan, the interest payable half-yearly. The New Treasury Bills are not in favour, and the sums paid into the Treasury to date are very trifling. Notwithstanding these disturbing causes, money is easy in the Bazaar, and loans are obtainable on Government paper at 7 per cent. THE IMPORT MARKET.—An unprecedented acti vity continued to prevail in this market until lately, when unfavourable accounts from most of the up country principal markets caused a general reaction in our market, and business has been checked con siderably owing also to the very high prices paid for every article of piece goods. Yarn is dull and declining in prices, particularly No. 40. Metals generally quiet. We have no alteration to note in the 'state of our petal market. Prices, however, are firmly maintained, and a slight advance may be looked for in iron, as the imports have considerably fallen off. Sheathing copper and yellow metal in better demand. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly.) JUDGMENT.-GRATED V. GREA.TED. His Honour the Master of the Rolls said—The question which arises in this case is raised on the construction of the will of the late Timothy Greated, and the first question is, whether the words I am about to read give an estate, real and personal, to his late sister and her sons and daugh ters, and whether they are to take the lands devised to them, if any of them die in his lifetime. The testator devised his whole estate, real and personal, to them and their heirs, and specified the portions that each of them was to take on nomination. Eight of them were then living, and two of these died in the lifetime of the testator. His Honour held that the shares of the two legatees predeceasing lapsed and fell back into the testator's estate to be taken up by the surviving legatees. The testator declared that devisees were to take as tenants in common, and not as joint tenants; and he also declared that in the event of any of them dying with out heirs of their body, their shares would go over to the survivor in the same proportion as previously devised. The first question is, what was the estate given? Was it an estate in fee or an estate in tail ? This depended on the reading of the words used being disjunctive or conjunctive. On ;the words used depended the disjunction "or," and the conjunction " and." His Honour considered, on the authority of the decided cases referred to, that he was entitled to read the devise conjunctively, which would give the devisees an estate in fee, and not an estate in tail. The widow takes nothing under this devise ; she is provided for out of the personal estate. His Honour, in conclusion, directed the counsel in the cause to prepare a declaiation on the different points in dispute, with the assistance of the registrar, to be afterwards submitted to, and examined by, his Honour. His Honour did not think a partition convenient. The husbands of the married daughters to take their shares. Counsel in the cause—Mr. Selwyn, Q.C., and Mr. R. Palmer, Q.C. HONG KONG, JAN, 29. The export of tea from China to Great Britain is 36,401,5001 b., against 37,632,0001 b., or a decrease for season 1858.59 of 1,230,7001 b. To the United States the decrease is 681,80011. Silk export to Europe is 54,689 bales against 53,155 bales, or an increase this season of 1,543 bales. t At Hong Kong and Canton trade has been dull during the fortnight, and the approach of the China new year, which commences on the 3d of February, has for the present put a stop to business among Chinese, the settlement of whose accounts takes place at this period. Our quotations are, therefore, nominal, and on the resumption of business a fair demand for imports is looked for. Tea.—Arrivals are five chops, mostly of very inferior quality. Settlements of nine chops Con gou at 233 to 29 taels, and about 12,000 boxes scented and green teas.

Shanghai.—lmports have been in good demand, and a considerable business was done until the holydays affected the market, which closed firmly, and is expected to re-open at higher prices. INDIA AND CHINA. By the arrival of the Calcutta mail we (Tinges) have received our private correspondence and files of papers from Calcutta to the 9th of February and from Hong Kong to the 29th of January. The following is the letter of our Calcutta cor respondent : " The position may almost be described in the old telegraphic formula, 'lndia is profoundly quiet.' There are riots in the Deccan, and riots reported from Travancore ; there are Sepoys who still refuse to submit in Behar, and ladies have been flying from Hissar. But war, for the first time since May, 1857, has ceased. Not a movement has been re ported from Oude, and the people of that province have at last comprehended their position, and re turned to their ordinary avocations. Here and there a Killadar requires a menace and a few shots just to satisfy his Rajpoot notion of honour; but there is nothing approaching to resistance. 483 forts have been levelled, and in a few days the number of arms surrendered will reach a million stand. Mr. Montgomery in a single night (20th January) dismissed every member of the old police force, which was as corrupt, as cowardly, and as inefficient as the police everywhere else, and replaced them by armed and drilled constabulary after the Irish plan. Each division—a division contains usually three counties—is occupied by a regiment of mounted police, and three regiments of infantry. The cities have a police of their own, aided by a corps of trained detectives, and commanded by a Kotwal or Mayor. The police are forbidden to re ceive confessions or take evidence, the only success ful precaution against torture, and the investigation is left exclusively to the civil magistracy. The landlords are compelled to give information of all crime on their own estates, and the village police, a band of ruffians who are the curse of Bengal and the North-West, though not abolished, are ignored. The magistrate, it is proclaimed, will look to their master, the landholder, and not to them. The new system is, of course, experimental, but it contains many elements of success, and at all events rids us of the vile traditionary police, who had neither discipline, courage, organisaiiog, nor honour. " The new force is to be deprived of its muskets as soon as the population is disarmed, and compelled to rely on the sabre, the spike, and its superior dis cipline. The civil officers, I understand, are. not pleased with the change. Men who have grown up under any system, however bad, are seldom de lighted with its sudden and total abolition. . " Tantia Topee has disappeared. He and his men entered the desert of Bikanecr and have never been heard of since. Apparently they have split into small parties, but whether to disperse or to reunite at some point still further to the north is not yet known. Neither he nor Feroze Shah has been captured. " You will have received by the Bombay mail the announcement of an issue of Exchequer-bills. The plan has failed, and the experiment has done some mischief. The rate offered, 51 per cent. per annum, or three pice a-day, was so high, that the Five per Cents. receded at once to 89a, while the offer to pay them off at the expiration of a year deterred permanent investers. The class who in England buy these bills—men with large balances which must be held ready at call — will not buy them in India, for the simple reason that they can make 8 per cent. by advances, usually only for a few days, on Government paper. The utter absurdity, also, of an open loan at 5 per cent., and another at 51 per cent., daunted speculators, by making them believe a 6 per cent. loan imminent. The true reason of these failings is the perverse secresy always maintained by the Indian Government about its financial posi tion. No capitalist can obtain the smallest idea how much Government is likely to want, or when it will cease borrowing ; and confidence, particu larly among natives, is destroyed by financial coups de theatre. Railway stock, always unpopular here, has sunk with the Government notes, and we have the absurdity of East Indian Railway stock quoted in Calcutta at 89 and in London at 107. "Your contemporaries, I see, are urging on gua rantees, on the ground that the consequent physical improvement of the country will remove the deficit. This is a mistake arising from a misconception of our revenue system. If the State built the railways and cut the canals it might be the case, but the profits under the guarantee system go to English shareholders. Even irrigation will not help the deficit if private companies are to reap the profits. The improvements will benefit the country, but not the treasury. In Bengal, for example, whatever happens we cannot increase the land-tax, that would be a breach of faith. In the North-West and Bombay we cannot increase it for 30 years, and in Madras, though we have as yet no time settlement, Government is conceding one as fast as the land is surveyed. Guarantees will give us a complete system of communication, a thing of in estimable value, but they cannot, from the nature of our taxation, affect the deficit. If it is to be met by public works, which is quite possible, Government must do the work itself and take the profit. It cannot allow the Madras Irrigation Company to sell its water at full value and then tax the ryots for the mere privilege of buying. If the work is done by the State a financial equilibrium is ultimately certain, and the only remaining ques tion is one of time. Can we live on loans for ten years ? The permanent deficit, I repeat, will be five millions a year, unless the native armies are abolished; and an additipn of fifty millions to the territorial debt, and probably of as much more in the shape of guarantees, will make your boldest finan ciers pause. The Council may strug►gle for a time, but the extinction of the native armies or a new tax are the only immediate alternatives. " Our communication with England is in a curi ous condition. The Peninsular and Oriental Com pany have not a single vacant berth before June, and the overland route is in effect closed. Sir J. Lawrence, for example, has been refused a passage, and compelled' to go via Bombay, The amount of annoyance, and often of positive suffering, thus •• caused is very great, and the Company should instantly put on extra steamers. They have one or two to spare here, but the agent says he has no authority to act without orders from England. The rush homewards is unprecedented." CHINA. HONG KONG, JAN. 29.

" My Lords,—l have the honour to acquaint your Lordships that I have been informed that certain British merchants in China contemplate the immediate despatch to Japan of vessels laden partly with goods which, even if the treaty were ratified, and the trade duly opened, could not legally - be imported into Japan. Her Majesty's Government would much regret that the commencement of British intercourse with Japan should be signalised by acts of smuggling and any illegality or violence on the part of British subjects, which, although they might for the mo ment be pecuniarily beneficial to the party con cerned in them, would tend to check the disposi tions of the Japanese Government to enter into friendly intercourse with this country, to paralyse PROROGATION OF THE lONIAN PARLIAMENT.

A grand ball was given in the rooms of the New Exchange on Wednesday, the 2d inst., by the British residents of this town to the captain and officers of the United States frigate Macedonia, and of the French war steamer Chaptal, as well as of her Majesty's despatch boat Caradoc, the latter of whom came in on the morning of the same day, to await Lord Elgin's return from China, besides a large number of the inhabitants, in all about 900 persons. His Highness the Viceroy, for whom a separate suite of apartments was prepared, arrived about 10 p.m., followed by his brother Halim Pacha, and two of his Ministers. Dancing soon afterwards commenced, being led off by Prince Alfred with Mrs. Thurburn, and was kept up till an early hour the following morning. Many of the fair sex of different nations had the honour of dancing with the young Prince, who appeared in excellent health, no doubt much improved by his sea voyage. His Royal Highness, since his arrival here, seems to have had no lack of amusement ; he has made two trips into the interior, and visited the Pyramids and other places of interest in this country, extending his trip as far as Suez. By all accounts he has proved himself an excellent sportsman, and on his last trip his party bagged. a very large quantity of game. His Highness, the Viceroy has put at the Prince's disposal special trains for his shooting excursions, as also one of the palaces SMITH V, LLOYD.-JUDGMENT. His Honour the Master of the Rolls considered that the widow in this case was entitled to retire from the society on the death of her husband, and that she was entitled to all the benefits that her husband was entitled to as a mem ber of the society. His Honour directed an inquiry to ascertain whether there were any funds in the hands of the company properly applicable to the payment of the plain tiff's claims. His Honour held the Court of Chancery had jurisdiction in such cases, and referred the matter to cham bers, with liberty to apply. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY. BOW-STREET. ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Henry Baker was placed before Mr. Henry, charged with robbing his employer, Mr. Davis, the extensive tallow chandler in St. Martin's lane. It appeared that the prisoner had for some years been in the service of Mr. Davis as a porter, in which capacity he received very good wages, without the slightest suspicion being entertained that he was dishonest. Several petty thefts having taken place, a sharp look out was kept about the premises, and last night the prisoner was observed to steal four candles. He was at once given into custody. On being asked what ho had to say in answer to the charge, the prisoner said he was guilty, and therefore he must throw himself upon the mercy of the court. Mr. Henry said it was a very bad case, as there could be no doubt that for some time past he had been robbing his employer. He should therefore sentence him to four months' imprisonment with hard labour. It was stated that the prisoner's apartments were - very stylishly furnished, and that he kept his pianoforte and wine-bin• MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CURIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A SIGNATURE CANVASSER. —William Howell, in whose possession when, taken into custody, was found a large portfolio, containing a numer ously-signed petition to the Houses of Parliament on behalf of the Metropolitan Beer-Trade Protection Society, and a quantity of pamphlets and copies of petitions, and who is said to be well-known as one of the Hyde-park orators, was charged with stealing a large cask from the out side of a cheesemonger's in Oxford-street. From the evidence of Parson, 121 C, it appeared that at nearly 1 that morning he saw the accused go up to the cask which was outside the shop of Mr. Thomas Banes, cheesemonger, 284, Oxford-street, and put it on his shoulder and walk away with it, getting along very well with it till he came in contact with a lamp-post, when the cask and himself both rolled in the gutter, the accused being neatly ensconced therein. He went up to him and asked what he was going to do with the cask, when said that he had car ried it the way :from Paddington ; that he was per forming a wager ; and begged that he might not be inter rupted as he was in a hurry, and that he had half a gallon of ale depending on it. Not feeling satisfied he took him to the station. The accused said if he had not been drinking it would not have occurred. Ho had got a large family. Mr. Beadon said he had no wish to make him a felon, and should, therefore, fine him 40s. for the illegal possession. ROYAL ENGLISH OPERA, COVENT.GARDEN.— Last evening her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cam bridge and the Princess Mary, attended by Colonel Home Purves, honoured the peformance of " Satanella" with their presence. The Austrian Ambassador, the Countess D'Ap ponyi, the Countess Paumgarten, and Count Chotek were also present. The marriage of Mdlle.

S re te s l re vart tin ; ' g ' them.--Manchester Guardian. LITERATURE. Wanderings of an Artist among the Indians of North America. By Paul Kane. Longman. The North American Indians have so often figured in the pages of poetry and fiction, there is so much of the romantic mingled with the history of the stalwart warriors slowly passing away from their hunting grounds,' , and decreasing year by year beneath the inevitable supremacy of the white intruders, that a volume recording the travels and adventures of a stranger among their tribes pos sesses considerable interest. The object of Mr. Paul Kane in his wanderings was to sketch some of the Indians, and this he has done very success fully, as the numerous curious and striking figures scattered through his volume prove. His route was through the Hudson's Bay Company's territory to Vancouver's Island and Oregon, and back again to Canada, from whence he started. The attention recently excited by the formation of a new British colony in this very locality adds to the interest of the volume, as we may safely suppose that gold diggers and storekeepers, and all the wild adjuncts of a party of gold discoverers have invaded those desolate regions where the author visited his red friends. His descriptions of ithe scenery, and the incidental anecdotes which he introduces, are full of animation and variety. He found some difficulty in making his sketches, owing to the strong prejudice entertained by the Indians against having their portraits taken. In many instances he was unable to overcome this aversion. " I visited the lodges of the Eus-a-nick Indians, who were on a visit. The chief was very rich, and had eight wives with him. I made him understand, by showing him some sketches, that I wished to take his likeness. This was, however, opposed so violently by his ladies, that I was glad to escape out of reach of their tongues, as they were all chattering together, while he sat like a Grand Turk, evidently flattered by the interest they showed for his welfare. A few days afterivards I met the, chief some ' distance from his camp, and alone, when he willingly con sented to let me take his likeness upon my giying him a piece of tobacco. " In one of my daily excursions; I was particularly struck by the ugliness of an Indian whom I met. Upon inquiry, I found he was Shawstun, the head chief of the Sine homes. He inquired very earnestly if my sketching him would not involve the risk of his dying ; and after I had finished the sketch, and given him a piece of tobacco, ho held it up for some moments, and said it was a small re compense for risking his life. He followed me afterwards for two or three days begging of me to destroy the picture ; and at last, to get rid of him, I made a rough copy of it, which tore up in his presence, pretending that it was the original." Regarding one of the most curious portraits in the volume—that of a flat-headed woman and child— the author tells the following anecdote. He had some trouble in persuading her to sit, but at last succeeded, and some time after, in travelling, re turned to the same spot : "We arrived at Nasqually, where I procured horses to take me to the Cowlitz River. I again crossed Prairie de Bute and Mud Mountain, and arrived at my old friend Kiscox's lodge on the evening of the third day ; but, to my astonishment, I found him and his family unusually distant in their manners, and the children even running away from me and hiding. At last he asked if I had not taken the likeness of a woman when last among them. I said that I had, and mentioned her name, Caw wacham, alluding to the portrait of a woman and child, No. 10, page 205 ; a dead silence ensued, nor could I get the slightiest answer to my inquiries. Upon leaving the lodge I met a half-bred, who told me that Caw wacham was dead, and that I was supposed to be the cause of her death. The silence was occasioned by my having mentioned a dead person's name, which is considered disrespectful to the deceased, and un lucky. " I immediately procured a canoe, and started for Fort Vancouver, down the river, paddling all night, well know ing the danger that would result from my meeting with any of her relations, and arrived safely at Fort Vancouver on the 20th June, with my budget of news from the civilised world. Here I had to remain until the Ist of July, waiting for the boats, which were daily arriving from New Caledonia and the Upper Columbia with furs, and reloading again with their winter outfits for their posts in the interior. During this time I amused myself in hunting and sketching. I took a sketch of a Chinook boy with a singular head-dress of beads ; the design seemed to be entirely original with him, as I had never before met with any resembling it." Respecting the ceremony of compressing the head the author gives some curious particulars : The Chinooks and Cowlitz Indians carry the custom of flattening the head to a greater extent than any other of the Flathead tribes. The process is as follows :—The Indian mothers all carry their infants strapped to a piece of board covered, with moss or loose fibres of cedar bark, and in order to flatten the head they place a pad on the infant's forehead, on the top of which is laid a piece of smooth bark, bound on by a leathern band passing through holes in the board on either side, and kept tightly pressed across the front of the head—a sort of pillow of grass or cedar fibres being placed under the back of the neck to support it. This pro cess commences with the birth of the infant, and is conti nued for a period of from eight to twelve months, by which time the head has lost its natural shape, and acquired that of a wedge : the front of the head flat and higher at the crown, giving it a most unnatural appearance. " It might be supposed, from the extent:to which this is carried, that the operation would be attended with great suffering to the infant, but I have never heard the infants ,crying or moaning, although I have seen the eyes seem ingly starting out of the sockets from the great pressure. But on the contrary, when the lashings were removed, j have noticed them cry until they were replaced. From the apparent dulness of the children whilst under the pressure, I should imagine that a state of torpor or insensibility is induced, and that the return to consciousness occasioned by its removal must be naturally followed by the sense of pain " This unnatural operation, however, does not seem to injure the health, the mortality among the Flathead chil dren not being perceptibly greater than amongst other Indian tribes; nor does it seem to injure their intellect. On the contrary, the Flatheads are generally considered fully as intelligent as the surrounding tribes, who allow their heads to preserve their natural shape, and it is from among the round heads that the Flatheads take their slaves, look ing with contempt even upon the whites for having round heads, the flat head being considered as the distinguishing mark of freedom. The following passage describes the author's intro duction to a wealthy Indian chief : " A couple of days after my arrival at the fort, I was en gaged in taking the likeness of an Indian. The door of my room was suddenly thrown open, and an Indian entered of a very plain and unprepossessing appearance. As I was unwilling to be disturbed, I rather unceremoniously dis missed the intruder, and closed the door on him, supposing him to be some common. Indian ; for were I to admit all corners, I should have been annoyed from morning till night. About half-an-hour afterwards, Mr. Finlayson came in, and told me that the great Yellow-cum, the head. chief, of the Macaws at Cape Flattery, had arrived at tho fort. I had heard so much of this chief, both from Ins enemies, the Clallums at I-eh-nus, and the Indians at Fort Vancouver, that I had determined to go to Cape Flattery, s distance of 60 miles, to see him. I was therefore very glad of his coming, as it would save me the journey; and I im mediately went out in search of him, and was not a little astonished and vexed to find in him the visitor I had so. rudely sent out of my room. I of course apologised, by" stating my ignorance of who he was, and told him how anxious I had been to see him, and of my intention of going to Cape Flattery for that . purpose. He said that he wil lingly acquitted me of any intentional insult ; but he had felt extremely mortified at being treated so before so many Indians. " He accompanied me to ray room, where I made a sketch of him, and had from him a recital of much of his private history. Yellow-cum's father was the pilot of the unfor tunate Tonquin, the vessel sent out by John Jacob Astor to trade with the Indians north of Vancouver's Island, mentioned in Washington Irving's Astoria.' He was the only survior who escapedfrom the vessel previous to her being blown up, the rest .of the unfortunate crew having been butchered on board, or blown up with the ship. It was impossible to obtain a clear narrative of this melancholy , event, as no white man lived to tell tho tale. The volume is full of amusing anecdotes and enter taining descriptions ' and the large coloured plates and numerous small engravings scattered through it greatly enhance its attractions. At the conclu sion of his preface the author leads us to anticipate further results of his travels, and that he will again employ his pen and pencil in illustrating the lives and the customs of the Red Men of the 'West.
