DISRAELI, Wisrom, and WHITESIDE, he might fairly challenge all comers, and maintain his position in the political arena against even those most " cunning of fence" amongst the opposition. Lord PALMERSTON was thoroughly foiled on sundry occasions, and even his most unscrupulous adherents are compelled to admit that his day has gone by, and that his star is no longer in the ascendant. This evening the Government of India Bill will be read a third time in the Commons, and pro bably the first time in the Lords. It will thus be brought under the consideration of the Peers on . the Bth of July—a week earlier than had been anticipated. There will then be ample time for considering calmly and attentively all the details of the measure, and improving it where it can be judiciously amended. Their Lordships possess great advantages, which will enable them to dis pose of the bill in the most satisfactory manner, and to pass sound and wholesome enactments, calculated to advance the interests both of England and India. The veteran Viscount lost his head. He was ruined by too great prosperity. He fancied that he was really the head of the Liberal party, and that they would be swayed by a mere name, 'vox et preterce nihil. He indulged in sneers at, any one who dared to exhibit an inconvenient bater rogatory, and exercised the most despotic authc rity and stringent discipline over those who, as he vainly supposed, owed him allegiance. The overthrow of his Government did not dispel this illusion. He imagined that he had only Ito stretch forth his hand at any moment to regain pos session of power—that the Ministers approved of by the Crown and the People, and whose admirable conduct and true liberality won golden opinions from all manner of men, were but mere temporary occupants of Downing-street, whom he could eject at any moment. But he has at length discovered that he " reckoned without his host." His intentions with respect to Reform were too carefully concealed to enable the people to place any reliance on the vague intimations respecting a good time coming. The point which, of all others, was nearest the public heart —the most ardently desired and anxiously looked for—was ostentatiously opposed. He would not have "the ballot," that which could alone give protection to the voter, and annihilate every corrupt motive and undue influence, at any price or on any terms. With his quondam , adversary, but recent ally, Lord JOHN, he put himself promi nently forward in resisting Mr. HENRY BERKELEY'S motion ; and of course he cannot now suppose that the independent Liberals, who look upon that measure as essential to the points of election and fair representation of the people, will go out of their way to replace him in the position which he so wantonly flung away. He had a grand op portunity, b:tt it was partly wasted and partly misapplied, and much time must elapse, and la bour be undergone, before such another may offer itself. A few weeks more will conclude the session, and the DERBY Administration will have the satisfaction of knowing that they have given a sati:factory Government to India, and removed !lel unjust and demoralising property qualification, w h!cb. restricted the privilege of tem independent to the con atitueoo9ies, and held out strongptation making of false declarations, equivalent to au act of wilful ared deliberate perjury. ..~.--- of course, to be seen what may' It yet remains; be the ulterior deciNon arrived at by the Paris Conference as to the future government of the Danubian Principalities, That Conference will have to perfect the work commenced months ago in Jassy and Bucharest by the nix great European Commissioner:— It will then be learnt what future has been prepared with solemn deli beration in conclave by E n gland, by France, by Russia, by Austria, by Turkey, by Sardinia, for the twin provinces of Moldavia and Wallachia. Those provinces have lonag been bones of contention between the " dogs of s`ar"—" let slip" upon them and upon each other, evt.`l7 now and then by the Porte and the Autocrat. ' i heir position has been, if that is really possible, yet more anomalous and yet more unenviablethan that I occupied by the twin provinces of Schleswig- Holstein between the Danish Kingdom and the Germanic Confederation. During more than one whole century Moldo-Wallachia has never known, beyond one fleeting momentary in terval, what it is to have a National Go vernment. For in 1731 began for the ill fated Roumans then constituting the population of those Danubian Principalities, the ebrete and galling regime known as the rule of the Fanariots. Nay, that rule alone lasted uninterruptedly for very nearly a hundred years—in fact, for only nine years short of an entire century, viz., frora 1731 to 1822, 'ben the Hospodaral crowns were at length taken from the Greeks and given by the Porte to great privileged citizens, Boyards, in short, of its own arbitrary selection. The exchange was really, after all, something tantamount to the substitution of King Stork for King Log— the Turk-chosen hospodars having an inerradicable instinct for robbery and corruption, and an in satiable appetite for what all the haggling and chaffering races bordering on the Levant know by the one expression and magical phrase of backshish. Half--a-dozen years, however, have scarcely rolled over when King Stork is replaced by Emperor Vulture--a hobgob lin ruler ravening for prey, and with a taste abso lutely omniverous. In 1828, in short, the Russian generals began to wield the sceptre of the Principalities, and—lo when the popula tion looked up they found the sceptre was transformed into the sword. Moldavia and Wallachia were under the heels of an army of occupation. The plea for its apparition beyond the Pruth was the fatal article in the Treaty of Adrianople confiding to the CZAR a right of Pro tectorate over the Principalities. Thenceforth frOm 1828 inclusively up to the year of the last great European War, 1854, the year inaugura tive of the Crimean contest, the Hospodars of Moldo-Wallachia were one after another notoriously chosen at the instance or rather the dictation of the Generals and Consuls representing the mighty power of the Russian Autocrat. Dictators there were, indeed, purely Muscovite, at the commence ment, such as RUCKMANN or DATCHKOFF, and ultimately one extraordinary phenomenon—rk really tolerable, and, in some respects, even com mendable, Russian dominator ! General KIS SILEFF to wit—a man who has the glory of giving to the Danubian Provinces the com parative bliss of five years' good and sound organisation. But 1834 came at last, and just ten years before the giant rupture already spoken of. General KISSILEFF . was replaced as Governor of Wallachia by the Boyard GHICA in the character of Hospodar, ALEXANDER GHICA the present. Caimacan. At the same time MI CHAEL STRAUZ became Hospodar of Moldavia— the hospodsral crown of the other province pass ing subsequently from the head of GHICA to that of his successor, BIBESCO. Later on, CONSTANTINE CANTAZENE became Caimacan cif Wallachia, but within a very f ew months from the date of his elevation, the brother of his immediate prsdicessor, the brother of BIBESCO before-mentioned, became the Wallachian Hospodar, another GHIC A—GKE GORY, not ALEXANDER—bccoming about the same time Hospodar of Moldavia. Br- BESIO'S brother, however, was a man known far more widely. He was no other than the now famous Prince STIRSEY. And so chopping and changing, from bad to worse, the sway of the provinces—nominally held by Turkey, really grasped by Russia passed from one Boyard to another, to the grief and wretchedness of a population of 5,000,000. Until, in fact, the final crash in 104. From that date hope The whole subject has been thoroughly investi gated in the Lower House—every possible objec tion has been canvassed, every reasonable suggestion fairly examined ; and the arguments pro and con,. published by journalists of every shade and variety of political opinion. No man of position and standing can put forward the slightest excuse for ignorance or want of informa tion. Although he may not be permitted to allude in the debate to what had occurred in another place, ho can carefully examine all that had been stated on either side, and arrive at a deliberate decision on each contested point. There will be" no groping blindfold after truth, no necessity for • coming to a hasty conclusion. Matters are - generally disposed of more speediiy and quietly in the Upper than in the Lower House, and that result may in a great degree be attributed• to the causes above alluded to, where the question has been first introduced. The legislation must, to a certain extent, be experi mental. Few, if any, can carry in their heads the substance of the speeches delivered, even if they have heard them, or promptly weigh the advantages and objections respecting each point. But the whole debate is placed before them, with wonderful accuracy, on the following day, and there are also comments of great ability by the leading journals of all parties. Surely, under such cir cumstances, any man at all qualified to take part in the National Legislature must be fully pre pared to vote, at a moment's notice, on any topic that may be ventilated. It roust be .admitted that Lord STANLEY has been singularly successful in the attempt in which a decisive failure was so freely predicted by the Palmerstonian organs. He accurately i caught the tone and temper cf the house, per ceived the exact limits within which he should , restrict himself, and was thus enabled to prepare a bill which could resist the most strenuot attempts of Lord PALMERSTON to overturn it. He exhibited the temper and discretion which are amongst the highest qualities of the Statesman, and combined therewith an amount of tact which showed that he wa3 an adept in the difficult art o f mannipg a popular assembly, and he was ably has been dawning for M oldo-Wallachia. May I that hope—yet—in the f u l n ess o f time, be - 1;1 - _63 - - T NAL44II7.WQ realised.

MIDLAND RAILWAY CONPANY.— A. special meeting was held at the Derby station yesterday—Mr. Beale, M.P., in the chair—for the purpose of submitting to the proprietors, for their approval, a bill to extend the time for making the Worcester add Hereford Railway, and for granting further powers with respect to that under taking, and a bill to authorise the construction of a rail way from Redditch to the Midland Railway. The ob j,eut of the first bill wee to empower each of the follow ing companies—viz., the Newport, Abergavenny, and Hereford Railway Company; the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway Company ; and the Midland Railway Company—to subscribe towards the Worcester and Hereford Railway to any extent not exceeding 37,580/. The second bill referred to a short independent line which branched off from the Eristol line about ten miles from Birmingham, to a place called Redditch. It was described as a rich mineral district ; but the Midland Company did not propose to find any money, but merely agree to work the line by their re ceiving half of the receipts. The chairman moved the formal resolution, which, after observations from Mr. Hadley and others, was carried, The meeting was made special for the purpose of approving and confirming an agreement entered into by the directors with the several companies above named for working the traffic on the Worcester and Hereford Railway. The chairman showed the great • advantages to be obtained from such an arrangement; :end moved the formal resolution, which was agreed to. This concluded the business. AMERICAN MATES' AND ENGLISH SEAMEN.—On yan a - day Peter Johnson, ee l barque belonging to the I.7eitvd States, was brought be fore the South Shields rnagist...atc•9) charged with a brutal assault upon Thomas Williams a.'l yoglibh sailor, a Lon doner, who had been induced by age "r to join that vessel exhibi hed by o ffi cers in the Tyne. The treatment Williams ree r f ed is a 3 illus tration of the too-common brutality on board United States vessels to seamen. Williams, bout who had been drinking, was sleeping in his bunk midnight on Saturday, when Johnson came forward ai,7 l hauled him out of it by the hair of the bead. He then knocked the unfortunate sailor down. jumped on his stomach, and kicked him violently about the head and legs until he became unconscious. He then had him dragged on to the deck, and having got a rope fastened about his waist, he was dropped into a boat, which took him to a landing, when he was pitched on shore, and left unconscious on the strand. Fortunately the police received information of the man's condition, and had ' him removed to the station-house, where he was attended by Mr. Coward, surgeon, who found him very much in jured:elle:et i h n a s r t d J ß o a h e n b s a o r of a b b o e u a t t i theng a h n e a A d m w e i r t i a a n by the b ru t a l usag e.

ROBBERY OF 1201. BY A FOREIGN CLERS.—A tele graphic message from Hamburg, was received at West Hartlepool, on Saturday morning, conveying the infor mation that a robbery had been committed at the esta blishment of M. Bernhardt Speiro, merchant of that town, by Hermann Lazerus, a clerk in the counting b e eee,.who had taken his departure on Friday evening in the screw steamer Zingari, f or W es t H ar tl e p o ol. M easure s were accordingly prepared for the theapprehen sioanolefool on I fugitive, and on the arri va l o f t h e steamer a t Hartlepool daY she was boarded by Superin tendent Dixon, of the county constabulary, and Mr. Peter Ronsyn, the consul for the Hanse Towns. The pri soner was immediately apprehended by Mr. Dixon, and charged with the robbery, which lie at first denied, but immediately pulled out of his pocket a quantity of money, and laid it upon a table ; be then threw himself flat upon the deck of the vessel, where he lay, refusing to rise till she was brought alongside the dock wall. The money consisted of American and English voin amounting to 1201. The prisoner was taken before the magistrates, and the above evidence having been given he was discharged, in cmsequeuce of the nonexistence of an extradition treaty between this country and Hamburg. The stolen isoney was retained by Mr, Romyu on behalf of the pri soner's employer. The prisoner is a young man about 23 years of age. with a Jewish cast of countenance. He had taken his passage just before the departure of the steamer in is very hurried and excited manner, which caused some suspicion. He explained his c onfusion by s tating that he had been drswn for the army, and that disliking a military life, he had resolved to quit his coun try, and betake himself to America. After fits capture he stated that ill usage from hie employer had croesed him to act res he had done, When set at liberty he bad only eight dollar iu is posseasior, PRANCE. PARIS, WEDN'ESDAY. "The Emperor is," says the Moniteur, "seri ously engaged at present in the consideration of a question of the highest interest to the inhabitants of the east of France—the delimitation of the woods belonging to the commune,s and those of the State. For the last 20 years the regularisation of this ques tion has been iu abeyance, but on the express recom mendation of the Emperor, and the active interven tion of the Minister of Finance, the affair has of late been arranged in many parts. M. Forcade, Direc tor-General of Forests, is now at Pl om bieres to confer with his Majesty on this important question." A Paris letter in the Nord of Brussels says : " Those persons who affirm that the Conference of Paris will confine its labours to the single question of the re-organisation of the Danubian pro vinces are in error. You may be certain that the subject of the navigation of the Danube will Le very particularly examined and decided on. The Conference has not the slightest intention of giving. up its right of settling the point once for all. Aus tria may, if she pleases, give herself the puerile satisfaction of appearing to act independently of the Conference, as if she were mistress of the situation, but she cannot do so long. The probable term assigned for the close of the sittings of. the plenipo tentiaries was the 15th July, but it is now perceived that their labours will certainly be extended to the end of the month, if not longer. The belief appears to be that every effort will be made to have the Conference brought to a close before the Emperor's departure for Cherbourg."

A letter from Damascus of the Bth ult. in tin journal de Constantinople gives the following ac count of the Sacred Caravan (Hadj) to Mecca : " The Hadj, which is more numerous this year than in preceding ones, left as usual on the fif teenth day after the Rharnszan— Among the pil grims composing it were several Russians. After the arrival of the caravan here the streets presented a most curious aspect, from the different costumes which were seen ; all the languages of Asia and the east of Europe might also be heard. Cher kesses and Dav,hestanles, members of the tribes of Asia Minor and of Persia, Turkomans from Khiva, Tartars from the Great Wall of China, Dervishes from Buckhara, &0., were seen parading tha streets. There were on this occasion two proces sions organised at which - all the officers of the army were present in full uniform. Two days before the departure of the caravan from Beyrout, information was received that the hostile tribes of the Faezan and the Duki had approached each other, and that hostilities were imminent. These two parties formed an encampment together of 15,000 tents in the neighbourhood of Mugarii. As a commencement of hostilities between these tribes would have led to the destruction of all the growing - crops, and, moreover, have prevented the caravan from receiving the necessary supply of camels for its journey, intelligence of what was going on was sent to Omer Pacha, governor of Da mascus: Immediate orders ware given for a body of infantry, cavalry, and artillery to proceed to the spot, and by placing itself between the hostile parties prevent any hostile encounter. The tribes of the Faezan, on learning his approach, at first withdrew a day's march in the direction of the desert. As to the Scheik Mehemet Duki, Tahir Pacha called on him to furnish the camels required fur tiie c,:ray.“,, anj NVIr , Mnt on th e part of the wandering chief by his proposing a most exorbitant price.

The DePlinggce Tidento of Copenhgerr contains au article on the late elections, in which it affirms the Government exercised no pressure ou the electors, and that.the Folksthing—now composed of 40 members—will support the Ministry, not be cause the new members are under submission to the Cabinet, but because there exists an identity of views between the latter and the electors. The article in question declares, morever, that no jour nal can be considered as the organ of the Cabinet; and that it is untrue that the President of the Council maintains relations with any particular journal.

The committee had during the month been considering the advisability of establishing a train jug school for the children of deceased and destitute sea men, and they had been in communication with the Admiralty as to the provision of a vessel which might be moored in the Mersey fir this purpose. such a school, it was believed, would be productive of great advantage not only to the mercantile marine service but to the Royal Navy, as it would supply boys of a well-trained and superior description.

The Sardinian brig of war Colombo left for the westward on the 30th, saluting Admiral Fanshawe with 15 gun; which was returned by the Marl borough. Admiral Fanshawe visited the dockyard. On the Ist, at 7 a.m., the Marlborough steamed out of the bay for Malta ; the gunboat Vigi!ant leaving for the same destination two hours pre viously.

THE BOLD ESTATES. It is not often that the most wealthy individuals can discover favourable opportunities for becoming members of the territorial aristocracy by a single purchase. Extensive domains are jealously pre served by the families in which they have remained during successive generations. They will struggle against the meat pressing difficulties rather than relinquish their hold ou the soil, more especially where the estate is a compact one, "lying within a ring fence," as it is usually termed, without out farms. When such a property is brought to the hammer it is usti ally heavily encumbered, and much trouble and some' risk is incurred in 'seeing that all the charges arc liquidated, and the title rendered unexceptionable. The 801 l estates, however, now offered for sale by the eminent firm of Messrs. Clowes and Flower dew, of Norwich, may be regarded as an extraor dinary exception to the general rule ; indeed, such a chance seldom occurs for the beneficial in vestment of one-third of a million sterling. The property lies in the best part of South Lanczshire, within four miles of Warrington, 12 of Liverpool and 18 of Manchester. There is a mansion standing in an extensive and beautiful park, and surrounded by well arranged farms, and a considerable quantity of coal and other valuable minerals in which the district abounds, the whole lying nearly in a ring fence. The most remark able feature of the case is, that the estate is wholly unencumbered, and that the proprietor is willing to permit a moiety of thepurclaase-money to remain as a charge on the estate. It is to be sold in a single lot, the minimum or upset price being 332,0001. It must, of course, be anticipated that there will be a considerable advance thereon, but when that sum has been tendered, there can be no reserve. It must change hands. The sale is to take place on the 29th of July, and capitalists should avail themselves of the interval for ascertaining the full extent of advantages such as are rarely offered for public competition. SURGEONS FOR THE ARMY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

D. TRANSPORT OF TROOPS TO INDIA. The following is the report of the select commit tee appointed to inquire concerning the measures resorted to, or which were available, and as to the lines of communication adopted.for reinforcing our army. during the ,pending revolt . in India, and to report thereon to the house, with a view to ascer tain the arrangements which should be made to wards meeting any future important emergencies involving the security of our Eastern dominions : "1. That the inquiry which this committee has been appointed to conduct may be divided into three branches ; and first, relating to the overland route to India ; the se cond, to the employment of steamers, as compared with sailing vessels, for the transport of troops round the Cape of Good Hope; and the third, to the use made during the mutiny of the military resources of this country and of the colonies. "2. That the Court of Directors appear from the first intelligence of the mutiny at Meerut to have been sensible of the advantages of the overland route, and to have lost no time in recommending its adoption ; but that political and other'considerations deterred her Majesty's Ministers from at onco assenting to that recommendation. "3. That the committee cannot judge of the validity of, those political objections, as they felt themselves precluded from inquiring into them; but that they ceased to prevail in the first week of Sept., when the more serious character of the war and the lateness of the season for ships depart ing for Calcutta led to a formal requisition from the Court of Directors, and to a compliance with it on the part of the Cabinet. 4. That it would have been desirable, independently of political considerations, to take advantage of the over land route at the earliest possible period, and apart from such considerations it is much to be regretted that the steps that were taken in Sept. to transmit small bodies of troops by this route were not resorted to at an earlier date. That the transport, however, of any large body of troops would have required previous arrangements, and that the evidence laid before the committee leaves great room to doubt whether any considerable reinforcements could have been sent in the months of July and August, with a pro spect of their arrival in India so far in advance of those sent round the Cape as to give any great advantage in favour of this route. "5. That although the overland route may be advanta geously employed in times of emergency, it would not be advisable that it should be relied upon as the ordinary route for the transmission of troops to India. "G. That if steamers had been used in greater numbers, the reinforcements would have reached India more quickly than they did by sailing vessels ; but that no evidence has been laid before the committee to show that at the time the emergency arose a greater amount of steam transport was attainable, while it' has been shown that grave doubts existed whether the supply of coal on the route would have been sufficient foirl larger nUmber of steam-vessels than --were - actual I employed. " 7. That steamers should'for the futura be always made use of, as far as possible, in urgent cases; but tbat for the transmission of the ordinary reliefs the committee would not recommend the adoption of so costly a mode of transport. " 8. That the Governors of Ceylon and the Mauritius gave early and valuable assistance to the Government of India, and deserve groat praise for the meal and promptitude with which they acted ; that the Governor of the Cape, without loss of time, forwarded treasure and horses, together with a portion of the troops at his disposal, but that ho did not send the whole amount of the force which he was instructed by the Rome Government to transmit to India • that the committee have nut the means of judging whether the circumstances of the colony did or did not justify Sir George Grey in taking this course. "9. That the committee observe with satisfaction that the people of Canada displayed great readiness to afford as sistance to the mother country, and that the committee ale of opinion that it is highly desirable to give every' encou ragement to such demonstrations of loyalty on the part of the color ies. " 10. That on the whole, considering the suddenness of the danger, and the distance to which the troops were to bs sent, the committee are of opinion chat great credit is due to the Court of Directors of the East India Company for the promptitude and efficiency with which they die charged the difficult task of transmitting reinforcements to the army in India during the past year." The report is dated July 1. It gave rise to seve ral divisions. Cant. Vivian moved an amendment which would have indirectly censured the conduct of Governor Grey, of the Cape of Good Hope, for not sending the whole amount of troops to India that he was required to do ; but this was negatived by 7to 2 votes. There was 414 0 a diVisiOU on the motion to thank the East India directors for their " promptitude and efficiency ;" which was carried by 8 to 4. The conduct of the Government was also the subject of discussion, and the expression of re gret, in paragraph 4, was only carried 1,57 a ma j or i, y of 1, on a very full division.

The Indian Betigioi,s ; or Efsults of the Mysterious Buddhism. By an Indian Missionary. Newby. A remarkable work this would be from any one —but most remarkable is it as the production of an Indian Missionary. Tun-r' aXX amour is the motto on the title page—the trite but grand ex clamation of Thereistocles, Yet certainly if we answer to the appeal by reading the book through before pronouncing as to its merits or its charac teristics, oueisfaiu, after reading it, after "hearing" its author's argument—to " strike" him out of the catalogue of Christian Missionaries. In many parts it might almost have been writte n , one cou ld f anc y, by a genuine Buddhist. It is for the most part an eloquent rhapsody throughout. The writer has evidently a lively fincyand au aspiring imagination. Ha has absorbed into both much of the genius of the Indian Philosophy. His reflections are sa turated with his Asiatic researches. He has drawn inspiration from the must diverse sources well imaginable—from Albertus Magnus and Cornelius Agrippa, from Plato and Aristotle, from Hobbes and Berkeley, from _Hume and Emerson, from Bayle and Paracelsus, from Spinoza and Sweden borg. As to the style and significance of what is here written ex. gr. the following : " Creatures are of that they eat. Aliment becomes body ; becomes as much soul as that circumstantial and eliminated soul can admit. We are of our food, elaborated by the secret magnetic laws of nature ; which, out of food, precipitates body, and, out of body, extols mind—or all that we can know as mind. The higher animals, in instinctive self-maintenance, scorn and abomi nate the offal which is the appropriate and natural pro ducer and soul-maker, so to speak, of the baser creatures. Which aro degenerate, even from dead dirt,' in being fur ther accursed and convict in life.' Living and walkinc , corruption, affirmativa.and risen up, defiant, against the eternal Matterless :—the One Rost ; unformed ; knowing neither Space, nor Time, nor Being. The Ffindoo follows, in fact, that which be finds in nature. Deep-buried in it, ho found eternal divisions in men. He leaves their conver sion—the use of the materials--in God's own hand." Or yet again the subjoined : " He shall not enforce or do the indignity to nature to make consort with the fairy-fish, the slimy eel—cursed for his glutted creeping, like the earliest snake, devil-circling under the retributive heel of the convicting Angel ! He shall not esteem the legless creepers, or the tribes of worms or green glowing insects, or the hirsute, or monstrous, or glutting children of the quickened desert, starting to ani mal alarms, or of the poisoned marsh whose clouds are gnats—he shall not confound this obscene efflux with the awe-exciting, the perfect individuality of the princely panther, or the haughty terrors of the great eagle-impe rial among birds. For the creatures aro of their feeding. Their soul is of the blood and flesh which make it." Some of the flights are far grander than this, how ever—and (what is better still) a trifle more within the bounds of ordinary comprehension. Instance the musings upon Space and Eternity : as where it is said (p. 121), "the universe is just the multipli cation of a sand-grain, or fire-particle"—eohoing the thought of Coleridge that " it is highly proba ble that this vast universe seems to God but as one distinct rounded atom swimming in the viewless ocean of the true Infinite." Meditations like these cannot fail to better a man—to give him a livelier sense of the majesty of the Omnipotent arid of his own utter nothingness. For inasmuch as it is sug gestive of reveries such as these the book before us is welcome, and as such we give it greeting accord ingly. Philip Paternoster, a Traetarian Love Story. By an ex-Puseyite. 2 vols. Bentley. At the present time, when controversial disputes are unhappily thrusting themselves upon public attention, and when recent dissensions among some members of the clergy and their followers, have made especially conspicuous the opinions of the Tractarians, as they are termed, a work with the above title can hardly fail to attract attention among a large class of readers. Whether the :Method the author has adopted for displaying the peculiarities of these opinions is in the best taste, or is the most inapt essive may he questioned. Setting aside the author's capabilities for the undertaking, the work legits an uncomfortable feeling on the reader's mi There is too much familiarity in the tone and manner of discussing solemn things —an error to be at least as much avoided as the opposite extreme of superstitious reverence. The character of the hero, too, is so weak that the author does not fairly represent the strength of his opponents. Instead of the elm slabsration of argument, and all the aids 01 itnaginatien Irui a U 11,5 1)11;; ;O 01550 ciate with what is designated as the High Church party, we arc shown a weak and foolish young man who has neither principles nor practice to support his opinions. lie carties his ideas of forms to an extravagant ext?nt, and sets oat finally for Rome, after behaving in a very discreditable manner in England. From various causes he remains in Paris, and finally, abandoning all his vag,ario4, he returns to his first curacy and imbsides into a sober, mar ried country clergyman. The society to which we are introduced in his company is not much more pleasing. _Liebe Walford is the most captivating, tiM her rival Henrietta is quite the reverse. She and her brother Osborne appear frequently in the tale, but their movements are complicated and mysterious. The style is unequal, and there is a mixture of the • serious and the satitieal which jars upon the reader. Had the author writ ten a work simply expressing his opinions and ex perience, he would have pleaded his cause better, and displayed his abilities to far greater advantage. His own impressions are evidently sincere, and when treating of serious themes incidentally, he writes with force and earnestness, as in the passages on the sinapl city of prayer and preaching. But when he makes his characters speak for him, a tinge of vulgarity mixes itself with the style. It must be admitted that, however unattractive the colours in which he has pourtrayed the Trac tarians, bis work is free from all personal bitterness, but he expressly denies that auy important inci dent is entirely fictitious. Having been for seve ral years a sharer in the opinions he denounces, he includes himself in his censures. However much it may be desirable to treat with respect and tole rance the creed of those of another faith, no such feeling need prevent our censuring such startling innovations on the simplicity of our own. 114aly will no doubt be attracted by the subject, and those who are interested in polemical dissensions will be highly gratified by its perusal. The Journal of Pigehological Medicine and Menta, Pathology. Edited by Forbes Winslow, M.D. Churchill. This valuable publication continues to collect all statistics and other information connected with the treatment of maladies of the mind. It treats, too, of the higher branches of the subject, and turns from the painful and melancholy result, t o see k th e cause in some reckless disregard of natural and moral laws, either by the sufferer himself, or those to whose charge •he was confided in early life. Viewed in this light, • such topics, however pain ful, are.not without their lesson to those in the full enjoyment of their faculties. They show how every wilful sin against the laws of nature brings its own punishinent, slowly, it may be, but not the less surely. That ovettasking of the mind that has so often shrouded in gloom the close of an emi nent career, has often been denounced by the psychologist. But there are other evils not less deadly. The want of mental action, an unbalanced and undisciplined mind, and a general want of proper mental contro', are among the causes cited as Trading to idiosy, insanity, and mental abberra tion. The paper on the causes of Idii,cy will in terest the physiologist, and an article on the Psychology of Kant will repay perusal. Those who are engaged in the treatment er care of these afflicted beings will find a considerable amount of information, and the mere, collection and de scription of peculiar cases renders the work valuable to the student of mental patholOay. The .Tournal of Agriculture. Blaciviood and Sor!s. This quarterly, although on a topic not produc tive of general interest, has several articles that will engage the attention of the reader. "A Few Thoughts and Facts anent Turnips" is the title of the opening paper, which addresses itself chiefly to the ,practical agriculturist. Thi s i s i mme di a t e ly followed by ' au inquiry into the merits of a pamphlet read before the Literary and Philosophical Society of Manchester, by Mr. Spence, entitled, " Coal, Smoke, and Sewage." Tee sewage question having been already amply discussed in this Serial, the article treats only of coal and smoke ; and those who are giving the subject their attention will find a careful considera tion of some of the schemes for disposing of noxious vapours. The article en " The Physical Condition of the People" treats of the health of the army, and well deserves the ateiation of those in autho rity. We extract the fcillowing passage, whcse statistics speak fur themselves "In our youthful days, when Blue-books had not enlightened our simplicity, we have sung a jolly stave, the refrain of which was, His laurels are green when his locks are grey ; Heigh ho ! for the life of a soldier. We know better now I A grey-beaded soldier is a phenomenon twins as rare as a grey-headed civilian ! The strangeness of such a stateauent is augmented v.heo we further read Deaths per 1,000 per annum, at ages between 20 and 40—Agriculturat labourers, 6.055 ; labourers in rural district?, 8.002 ; printers, 9.090 ; police, 8 922; miners, 10.314; household cava lr y , 11.1 ; Dragoon Guards and dragoons, 13.5 ; Infantry of the Line, 17.8 ; Foot Ginnie!, 20.4.' Which, being inter preted, means, that a man may do most things which his hand findeth to do on this buil earth of ours—he may he rr pkughman, a night:printer, or a night-pol ce man—and yet only incur about from a half to a third the risk to life incurred by a soldier of the Line. Nay, • if, in these days of competition for a morsel of bread, he be driven off the face of the earth down into its bowels, the proverbial dangers of the mine are one-half less than he would incur were he doing duty with the Guards,' those splendid-looking fellows, whose bearing is so sol dierly, and whose physique is apparently so much supe rior to that of a slouching miner. "flow shall we account for such an excessive mor tality 'among 60,000 men, in time of profound peace, in a country which is not only the healthiest, but which possesses the greatest facility of communication, and the greatest abundance of supply in Europe 1' Such was the problem which at first perplexed the Army Commis sioners, but whose solution has now, we think, been found in the course of their thorough sifting of the various matters submitted to their investigation. "As might have been anticipated, there is consider aVe diversity among the witnesses examined as to the causes of this enormous mortality ; and we have sundry amusing instances of extensive conclusions inferred from slender or doubtful premises. Night duty does it all,' some were much disposed to argue, till a reference to the superior health of the night-police shut their mouths. A better caso was made out by others, who dwelt much on want of exercise and suitable employment • and, odd as it may seem, it is really a fact that the foot-soldier suffers mortally from ennui! The general impression need to be, that men about :town' and fine ladies' were the sufferers pas' excellence from this enervating soul-and-body-killing malady. Well, so they are ' • but, saving their gentility, it i s we ll th a t th ey should know that thi n is a very vul,ar affectnn quite common in V.re rank and file of her Majesty's Infantry. Infantry, ob serve you, courteous readers, for a man who has to lake care of an animal so noble as a cavalry charger, in caring for its health, necessarily does a good deal for bis own. He feeds, grooms, and airs his four-footed friend, with whom he has often a great deal of social intercourse, alike beneficial to mind and body. But your Infantry-man has very often a distressing resemblance to a horse in a mill. He goes through a routine of military duty, with which he soon becomes so familiar as to perform it mechanically. For a certain number of hours a-day his mental powers are stimulated to the same degree. of attention ;' the same bodily organs are day by day called upon to perform movements precisely Iden tical, and which, besides being irksome to a soldier loaded with his accoutrements, are sometimes rendered still less attractive by extra drill being ordered as a punishment for carelessness arising from tedium. Peda gogues fall into the same blunder when prerscribing a task' to a poor child whose nerves are warn out by sitting for hours in school, and whose brain is therefore no longer able to meditate fixedly on alphabetic mys teries." There is much good and practical sense in this paper, on a subject which is just now before the public, and which we trust will 'not be allowed to sink out of notice again till some vigorous improve ments are effected. There is a second paper on the Town Sewage Question, the Farmer's Note- Book is continued, and the average prices and tables of grain are given. In the second part, the report of the transactions of the Highlr.nd and Agricultural Society of Scotland, there are some valuable papers ; among others, one on River Embankments will attract the reader at the present time.
