'4,22 LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2, 1858, LORD CLARENDON ON THE SPEECH AT SLOUGH. We were never amongst the admirers of the Exrl of CLARENDON, but until his painful exhibi tion last night, we always considered him to be a man of ordinary tact and discretion. After the revelations by which he accompanied his in tem*irate but imbecile attack upon Mr. DISRAELI, it is- impossible to come to any other conclusion respicting the Noble Earl's capacity, than that he is utterly unfit not only to tit in the Cabinet of his SOVEREIGN, but even to take a respectable part in the debates of the House of Lords. The attacks of Lord JOHN RUSSELL and Lord PALMEESPON, in the House of Commons, had failed to shake the confidence of the country in the aceti c racrOf Mr. Disnlem's statements at Slough, which were . er_eSubsta n ti a ll y corro b orated by the admiesions os opponents, no less than by the emphatic declaration of 5 . T JOHN PAKINGTON ; but Mr. DIS RAELI's position was further. strengthened by Lord CLARENDON'S speech in th e House of Lords, which, even had it not been replete with clumsy admis sions, would have given Lord DERBY and the Foreign Secretary the opportunity, whi c h th ey gladly seized, of authoritatively c onfirming all the allegations of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Nothing can be more absurd than the attempts made by the place - h un ti ng Pal merstonians perversely to misunderstand the purport of Mr. DISRAELI'S speech. Th e Right Hon. Gentleman never intended to accuse the late Government with having neglected to maintain good relations with France. Such a r rim SUN, LONDON, WEDJNES DAY statement would have been utterly at variance with the well-known truth. Lord PALMERSTON and his colleagues were driven from office, not for indifference to the French alliance, but for having purchased that alliance at the cost of concessions which the House of Commons declined to offer, and which were absolutely repudiated by the country. The charge against them was not that they treated the EMPEROR with coldness; but that they obeyed him with servility, not that their policy was too English, but that it was too French. More over, they always gave as their excuse for these obsequious proceedings, that they were indispen sable to the maintenance of the alliance ; and every one must remember that Lord PAL MERSTON endeavoured to extort. the unworthy concessions to France from the House of Commons, by the threat that if the despatch were answered, and if the Bill were rejected, our rela tions with the EMPEROR would be in imminent I peril. Lord DERBY stated last night that a similar announcement had been made to him privately by Lord CLARENDON himself, and that Lord PALMER.. STON'S followers in the House of Commons were also privately urged, by representations of the same nature, to adhere to the policy of the Conspiracy Bill. Lord CLARENDON confessed, in interrupting Lord MALMESBURY last night, that when the DERBY Government came into office he had warned his successor that if the Conspiracy Bill was not proceeded with we should ba unable to maintain peace with France. Well, what happened The House of Commons decided that the insulting despatch should be answered, and that a change in our laws, which the late Ministers had taught the EMPEROR to consider both just and necessary, could not be made consistently with the interests or the honour of England. And now these gentlemen are surprised to hear that what they foretold actually came to pass ! When we heard of Lord PALMERSTON'S intended attack upon the Slough speech, we naturally antici pated that he was going to say— , "There, you see, what I told you would happen, actually came to pass. I told you that if you would not do the EMPLROR'S bidding, we should run the risk of a war with France. But, when Lord PALMERSTON and his friends come forward and say that there never was the least danger of war, it is manifest that, if they had made out their case against Mr. DISRAELI, which thy have not succeeded in doing, they would only have deprived themselves of the only circumstance which can possilly be urged in justification of the base policy which they recommended the country to adopt. In conclusion, we must call the attention of our readers to the extraordinary announcement made by the Opposition Peers last night, to the effect that they still adhere to their un-English, despot serving policy, and that they are still pining fir a Conspiracy Bill. Nothing can be worse than Lord CLARENDON'S tone upon this question, and he even goes so far as to insinuate that the House of Commons in accept ing Mr. MILNER GIBSON'S motion, declared is intention of protecting foreign conspirators. We must also notice the strange Red-tapeism of Lord CLARENDON'S policy and speech, when he tells us that WALEWSELI'S insulting despatch, which was published in the .Monileur, reproduced by the Press of Europe, and presented to Parliament by her Majesty's command, required no answer, be cause it was not usual in diplomacy to reply to a despatch unless it be accompanied by a covering note "Still harping on my daughter." Another ---1100, has been spent in discussing the oration at SI/mall s ..,Witpieu vioe,cnrk of Buckingw7; • r, Commons, when the ieziuers of tne Whigparty, w ii,,, :.wring arranged their dif f iculties, were like the twin Kings of Brentford, smelling at the same nosegay, and having received explanations and answers from the party solely responsible, which neither will speedily or easily forget; the matter might surely have been dropped and no further time wasted in reference thereto. But Lord CLARMTDON, undeterred by the castigation in flicted on his coadjutors, again ventilated the question, and verily he received his re ward. Lord DERBY wielded the " knout" with surpassing skill and energy, and the result has been that whit was seemingly designated as a " post-prandial oration," has been elevated to the dignity of a "State paper," whose cutting sarcasm has only been exceeded by its truthful ness and accuracy. And the community have had their attention attracted to one of the most brilliantaddresses ever delivered to a sympathising and admiring audience. The object of these combined and organised attacks is but too palpap7e. Having hunted one leading member of the Ministry to a political death, and Iptving then failed in the general attack, it seemed practicable to assail another, one who in his department had given the greatest sa tisfaction to the country. The attempt to worry the Chancellor of the Exchequer wag, however, a total failure. The Right Hon. Gentleman was more than a match for his numerous assailants. His game was too staunch, his prowess too un questionable, and though the prize hounds— " Little JOHN-" and "PAaI," were let slip, they were compelled to retreat considerably the worse for the encounter. Lord CLARENDON, if possible, received a greater mauling. He was, in Yankee parlance, " most catawampously thawed up " by the Premier. It might have been anticipated that with an English man's propensity for fair play, he would not have assailed an absent man—one who, like poor M. PENT; had already met two political gladiators, and defeated their most skilful assaults. But the ball should be kept up --the hunt closely pursued, notwithstanding the failure of the discomfited leader. But there was a trustworthy champion I available, and th e ex-Foreign Minister, the cringer to despotic dictation, was left, if possible, in a worse plight tlian his quondam, colleagues, who so vainly "kicked against the pricks." It is scarcely necessary to allude to the thrice told tale, the rechauPe of what had been stated on Friday and Monday. Lord CLARENDON re peated the substance of what had been said by Lord JOHN RUSSELL and Lord PALXED.STON re specting foreign affairs, and India. He did not 83 of ftrielins party, whil e the to the govorn aadt d a i l t l io im na p l ro re v p o ul t s h e e c ad a ded strength meat. • But there was one topic to Which he did not dare to refer one field on which lie could not trespass. The region of finance was " tabooed" to the brother•in-law of the ex - Edinburgh Reviewer and ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer. The Budget, which, it was fondly hoped, would have proved a ground of attack, had been received with universal acclamation. Mr. DISRAELI bad kept faith with the nation. He had sanctioned the abatement of the inequitable naome-tax, in place of demanding a considerab!e increase, as his predecessor tvotati have done, had he not been happily driven from Downing -street. ti Mr. D ISRAELI effected a saving of two-fifths of the interes on. Exchequer-bills, and aimed a deadly blow at the ridiculous Lewisian Sinking-fund ; and aIL that could be said and that after Lord DERBY had resumed his seat was, " that the Government had not muddled away their money in paying debts." It would have been monstrous if the nation which had so cheerfully sustained the heavy burdens imposed on it during the late war had not been allowed a little rest. Sir G. C. LEWIS would have driven the " willing horse" to death. He produced a financial crisis by his inveterate adhe sion to the iniquitous Bank Charter Act, and he would have wearied out the people had he re mained in office. Mr. DISRAELI has afforded judicious relief. The sufferers can breathe once more, and Lord CLARENDON was too wide awake to institute any comparison between the past and the present financial Administration of the country. We may now hope that the great " Slough " feud is at an end, and that the pressing business of the country may be carried on. Let the Sun day conspirators pause before proceeding on their reck:ess career. They may be fully assured that every convulsive plunge will hurt themselves far more than the person against whom their virulent blows are directed. OSBORNE, June I.—The Queen, accompanied by the Duchess of Kent, Princess Alice, Princess Helena, Princess Louisa, Prince Arthur, and Prince Victor of Rubenlohe, embarked in the Fairy ydsterday afternoon, and cruised towards Spithead. RETURN OF HER MAJESTY AND COURT FROM OSBORNE.. —Yesterday extensive preparations were being made at Buckingham Palace, for the return of her Majesty and Court from Osborne House, Isle of Wight, who accord.. ing to the present arrangements will return to Bucking ham Palace on Friday next. ROYAL ACADEMY OF MUSIC.—Her Majesty the Queen has graciouly signified her intention of honouring with her presence a grand vocal and instrumental concert, for the benefit of the Royal Academy of Music, which will take place in the St. James's Hall, on Wednesday evening, the 23d of June. Her Mejeety, who is to be accompanied by a brilliant court, will occupy a dais in the area of the ball. PRIVY COUNCILLOR.—The Right Hon. Sir Cresswell Crasswell, Kut., Jedge Ordinary of the Divorcs and Probate Courts, was this morning sworn in a Privy Councillor, before Lcrd Campbell, in the Court of Queen's Bench. Lady Peal came to town on Monday, from Sandy Lodge, Beds. We are sorry to learn her ladyship is very much indisposed from grief, caused by the intelli gence of the death of her son, Captain Sir William. Peel. Dr. Seymour has been in attendance on her ladyship. Lady Peel has had visits of condolence from several members of the Royal Family and- a great number of the members of the aristocracy. Lord and Lady Wodehouse and family are expected to arrive in London in the course of the present week, from St. Petersbnrgb. We regret to state that Lady Morgan is suffer'ne from a severe attack of bronchitis at her house in Wiliam-- street, Lowndes-square. DEATH OF LADY HARRIET G. SUTTIE —We are sorry to announce the death of Lady Harriet Grant Suttie, who died on Sunday last. Her ladyship was the seventh daughter of the :ate Earl of Wemyss. WELLINGTON BARRACKS BAZAAR.—Her Majesty baring with her usual liberality forwarded 501. to be expended at the bazaar held last week in the Wellington barracks, several of the most costly and striking contri bar ins were selected from the various stalls and pur chased for her Majesty by hire. Frederic Sayer and Maria Viscountess Glentwcrtb. The stalls held by the Countess of Fife, Viscountess Ingestre, Mrs. Moncrieff, and Mrs. Cheats Thornhill, were especially honoured with the Royal patronage. LORD STANLEY'S RE-ELECTION.—There is no proba bility of any opposition being eared to Loid Stanley's ' re-election for King's Lynn, in consequence of his ac ceptance of the Presidency of the Board of Control. The noble lord is deservedly popular in the borough. Kew GARDENS.—The Arboretum, Botanic gardens, and pleasure grounds are now in the most perfect order, an.l open free every day at one. Sundays at two. The museum and conservatories close at six, the gardens at seven, the landscape gardens and grounds at eight. CRYSTAL PALACE.—The additional new wind band now performs in the grounds until a late hour in the evening, and is a source of much pleasure to many who have not an opportunity before the rafts:moon of visiting the palace. The performances are principally in the Rhododendron Valley, a spot which presents at this moment a richness and variety of floricultural beauty on its banks which has probably not its equal. The display cf rhododendrons, azaleas, and other American floweting plant.', is remarkably fine, and the park and gardens have never appeared to such advantage os at this time. The view from the Water Tower appears for Lome visitors to be the great object of attraction. CAB ACCIDENT.--Yesterday afternoon (Tuesday) a spirited horse attached to a cab, while standing on the cab rank in the Borough-road, Southwark, took fright, ~n dt i la'el.ed off at full speed in the direciion of the Surrey -- . 1, , Aaj , ,vasea3r n '.„T aa ,(Y l 29.9a - itall lit;.•:9.PL'Attil?

However, a number of cabmen belonging to the cab rank at the St. George's-circus eventually secured the animal, and restrained him from doing further (nits chhf. The man knocked down was enabled to walk to his home. THE LATE FATAL . COLLISION ON THE Riveen.—An adjsureed inquiry was concluded yesterday at the Anchor and Hope, Criarlton, into the cllision on the 231 ult., an account of which eppeared in our paper. It will be remembered that the bow of a brig was stove in by one of two screw colliers coming up the river, and that two boys who were in their berths in the fore part of the brig lost their lives on the occasion. The jury returned the following verdict :—" That the deceased were accidentally drowsed on hoard a brig called the Arab, which was run down by a scree/ steam-vessel called the Black Diamond, the steerage way of the. Black Diamond having been affected by the improper navigation of a screw steam-vessel called the -john Bowes, causing the said Black Diamond to sheer off against her helm, and to rue down the said brig called the Arab." THE STATE OF BILLINGSGATE-MAIIKET.;--At a meeting of the City Commission of Sewers, at Guildhall, yester day, Mr. Deputy Christie presiding, a report of Dr, L€theby in reference to the etats of Billingsgate-market was submitted. The report had been drawn up in conse quence of a memorial from the shell:-fish then on the un-- whoesotne condition of that part, of the market allotted to them. The report concluded with the following suggestions :-1. A more perfect ventilation of the place, and a supply cf air front the outside cif tart market, ' 2. Tae ra-construction of the drains with a proper incline for the immediate discharge of the fool water irate the refuse tank. 3. The adoption of some contrivance for pretst - gine the solid refuse from getting accees to the drains. 4. The erection of a recop tacle for the solid refuse of the market ; and, 5. The enforcement of such rules and regulatiens as will pro vi le for the sanitary defi&encies of the place, and main. tain good order emery the salesmen. Vim OF TfiE QUEEN TO LEEDS. —The inhabitants of Leeds will learn with the greatest interest and pleasure, from the announcement made by the Mayor to the Town Council on Monday, that it is the intention of her Majesty the Queen to honour this town with a visit about the cad cf the month of August, on her way to Scotland, and to inaugurate our new Town-hall by her royal presence. It was added by his Worship that her Majesty will not merely pass through the town, but will spend a night here. Leeds, we believe, has never b' :n honoured with a visit from its Sovereign paid exptein 'e to its inhabitants as a mark of royal favour and rag e and in the way of that intercourse with which ma- be loved and patriotic Queen indulges her people. We are sure the inhabitants of Leeds will regard her Majesty's intention with lively gratitude, and that her - visit - nil cab forth every demonstration of leyal and affectionate enthusiasm towards the best and mast conititutionol of sovereigns. It is probable, judging from the events of last year, that her Majesty will leave Osborne fir the North cn Monday, the 30th of August, and wilt arrive here in the-afternoon of. the sane day; and that on the following day, Tuesday, the 31st, the inauguration of the Town-hall ei l take place..—Leeds Mercury. PRICE OF GOLD.—The price of gold at Paris is about 13 per mille, and the short exchange on London 13 25.05 per pound sterling. On comparing thee° rates with the English Mint price of Si 17s. 10a.1. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that g: r.l is about 3-10 the per cent. dearer ie Paris than in London. By advices from Hanel:erg the price of gold is 425 per mark, and the sheet Exchange on London is 13.54 per pound sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price .is therefore rather more than 1-10th par cent, dearer in London ork th o a n n in Hamburg. The course of exchange a t gew y London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 10aa per cent., which, when compared with the Mint per between the two countries, shows that the exchange is slightly in favour of England ; and, after making allowances for charges of transport and difference of ia tcrost, the Present rate leaves a small profit on the importation of gold from the United States. Vi. I3 XPIALL-BUIDGE COMPANY.—A special meeting of the shizeholders m,f tbis company wag held yesterday, NIL Prendergast, Q C., in the chair, when the report of the comulittce appointed for considering the propriety of reducing the tolls, in ccnsequence of the competition of the new blidge at Chelsea, was read to the mesting.

A telegraphic communication has been received from Naples, which states that Mr. Lyons was waiting for instructions from her Majesty's Gc vernment. Some friendly Power (not named) had pressed upon the King the necaKity of according indemnification for Watt and Park, but his Ma jesty had positively refused, and added—"lf I am annoyed any more by the English Government on this question, I will appeal to Russia and Austria for protection.

The Vanderbilt brings 297 passengers, and $438,466 in specie for London and France. The Fulton arrived out on the 19th from Havre, and Southampton on the 24th. Tho Vanderbilt spoke the steamer Africa, out ward bound, on the 30th ; American ship Syramus Blanchard, 31st ; a Bremen barque, showing signal No. 81 ; and American ship Star of the West. The Hon. Charles Sumner came a passenger by the Vanderbilt, an I also Mr. J. Putter, bearer of despatches. The angry feeling continued on the question of the alleged British outrages on Any.zican vessols. Mr. Buchanan bad promptly responded to the resolutions of Congress asking for information, and sent to that body a short message, with copy of letters to Lord Napier and to Mr. Dallas, the Ame rican Minister in London. Mr. Dallas is instruetei to lay the facts Mora the British Government, and to demand satisfac tion for tho insults offered to the American flag, , and indem n ity f or w h a t ever d amages A mer i can vessels have sustained from the visitations of the British cruisers ; alsc, that peremptory orders shall be issued and enforced for stopping the search of American vessels at sea. The Secretary of the Navy reported that the steam- frigate Wabash, the razee Savannah, and the brig Dolphin had been ordered to the Gulf of Mexico ; the,e vessels, with the Colorado, Fulton, and Jamestown, would make a respectable force in those waters. Tue Senate had passed a bill repealing the fishing bounties, to take effect on the 31st Decem ber, 1859. It was stated that the President had applied to Congress for authority to contract a loan for 15,000,0001. for a term not exceeding 10 years.

(Before the Lord Chancellor.) APPEAL-AUSTIN V. BOTES. The further bearing of this part-heard appeal was resumed this morning. Mr. Bovill, Q.C., of the common law bar, was heard for the appellant, Mr. Austin. This is an appeal from a decree of the Master of the Rolla dismissing the bill with costs as to Mr. Tweedie, but without casts as to Mr. BoyeEe The contention is, whether there was a legal dissolu tion of this partnership, as solicitors, by the articles of agreement of 1846; what was the true construction of the terms of that agreement ; was the retiring partner bound not to practice within a hundred miles of London I what were the considerations for retiring duties and obligations of the partners i,ater se ; and what was the marketable value of the shares and good-will and inte• rest of the business to the retiring partner, Mr. Austin undertaking that he would not carry on business as a solicitor within a hundred miles of the partnership resi dence, but, on the contrary, do everything in his power to promote the interest of tho new company, and thereby increase the marketable value of the shares of the remaining partners of the new company. That the app?llant had a legal vested interest and claim of com pensation under t'iis rgreement, beyond the market value of tvo days cf the profit of the business, which he was found entitled to by the decree of the Master of the R )11s ; and that he was cutit!ed to decree against tae defendants in so far as he was benefited by the agree meat. Mr. Burdon fol:owed on the same side. Mr. Lloyd, Q C., is now being heard for Mr. Tweedie as to costs. It is probable the bearing will occupy the whole of the day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.

ATTEMPTING TO ENTER A HOUSE WITH A FALSE KEY.—A QUEER DEFENCE.—George Tompkins and John Barrett, the latter calling himself a compositor, were charged before Mr. Bingham, under the following eircum,tances. Charles Cole, 317 A, a very active detective officer, and whose vigilance, there is very little doubt, prevented an extensive robbery, said that about 10 o'clock on the previous night he saw the prisoners, with another man, in Coventry-street, and suspecting them he followed them into Sackville-street. They there stopped for a minute, and then waked up to the house of Mr. Holt, No. 20, and he (the officer) then got into a doorway and watched them. He then raw Tompkins put a key into the keyhole. They then all walked away down Vigo street into Regent-street and to Leicester-square, and back to Sackville-street, ha (Cole) following them all the while. They then went to the door of Mr. Bolt again, and again did something to the keyhole. They then left again and ho fol'oreed them until he met a constable in uniform, when he told him to fallow him, and on coining up with them he took Barrett, and the other officer pursued Tompkins as far ae Charing cross,' and brought him back. On taking Barrett he told the officer he would miler for it, its he was manager of The Suds printing-office. Barrett gave his address in Rose-street, Long-acre, which he found was a shut up house, and the other prisoner gave t h e address of a large baker in Goodge-street, where he was not known. _ I;trettsaid in defence ho was only in Sackville-street once. That he was a printer, employed at Mr. Jones'e, in Parktrstreet, who printed the Family 'Jerald (the publication in question is printed by Mess's. Bradbury and Evans, the well-known printers). The other pri soner Tompkins said he was a greengrocer. Cale asked for a remand that he might make inquiries as to the prisoner's character. • Mr. Bingham said be should like to bear something more of them after their own statement, and remanded them.

Hurst and Blaclsett. This is another of Mrs. Gore's satirical sketches of society, another of those brilliant records of fashionable life, which expose its meanness, reveal its follies, and chronicle its inconsistencies. In the present instance we meet with a most attractive heroine, Sophia Corbtt, who is superior to many of the female characters drawn by this authoress. She is represented as something genuine, in the midst of deceit and treachery, something simple, sur rounded by affectation, something pure and un spotted in a world of scandal. Sophia, or " Tiny" as she was called, had not an easy task assigned to her to perform in the labour of existence, and it was no light burden which she was called upon to bear in the journey of life. The affairs of her family were very much involved in mystery and litigation ; and family quarrels, that fearful cala mity, hung darkly over her path—their funereal shadow. It is not likely that one so young arid inexperienced as she was should suddenly have displayed any great foresight in judgment, or manifested any great skill in adjusting the diffe rences that existed. In what she did, however, she was earnest and sincere, she did not aim at impossibilities, but she tried the only way that can ever succeed in making the crooked straight and the rough smooth—she gave to wrath a soft answer, and met the storm of indignation with a gentle dignity which, while it never con ceded to injustice, made no irritating demonstra tions of its own. The description of the confusion that ensued in consequence of " Heckington„" as the family estate of the Rawdons was called, being left in a peculiar way, is very ingeniously de picted. The unhappy feud that divided the branches of the family into jarring sections, achieved its most fatal work when it separated the brothers who had " played beneath the same green tree" in childhood, .and appeared likely .to live as brethren in unity till the sad day when Heckington was mentioned as a word of reproach. From that time peace was over, and the sons of one mother became as strangers—vrorse, indeed, for they were enemies. ' This disunion occasioned great sorrow to their gentle cousin,: Sophia, and she endeavoured to make peac e btween them. When she had persuaded Arthur, the elder, to write to his brother, who was anxious to end the dispute, the most serious lesson that humanity can learn was at hand to inform them of the vanity of man's purpose, and the danger of his allow ing the sun to go down on his wrath, when he knows not that another sun will rise for him to make reconciliation. Willie Rawdon had died suddenly in Jamaica, to the regret of all who knew him, the consternation of his cousin, who appreciated his worth and excellence, and to the remorse of his too late repentant brother. The sketch ef the Hors fords is very successful, we are introduced to a scheming family, whose object in life was their own self-aggrandisemrnt, by whatever means it could be obtained. Delicacy of feeling, rectitude of pur pose, high principles, generous emotions, wore un known to them, such plants were not indigenous to the soil of Clevelinds, which pridel itself on far different productions. Envy, hatred, malice, and all uncharitableness, were the abiding guests, and the actuating spirits of that abode, whence sons and daughters issued forth into the world, to mar happiness, create discord, and dishonour them selves and the homes that had reared and that had adopted them. The only exception was Amy, but site was saved by being removed from the evil in fluence of her family till better interests filled her mind. It would have bsen well for Arthur Rawdon if he had yielded to his impulse, and broken off his engagement with Florence Horsford. The misery of his domestic life was groat, and great also was the sorrow of the sympathising Sophia, who had fondly imagined that the clouds were re moved from the long-overcast horizon of flecking ton, and that brighter scenes and fairer days would dawn for is s long-suffering heir. She was mistaken —f©r Arthur had to endure the agony and feel the humiliation, which is the most acute to bear, and the bitterest to be crushed under ; his wife proved false, and the honour of his name was sullied. Lu cretia, the old maid of the family, is a very amusing character, and her energy is a relief after the fashion able idleness around her, while her abruptness is welcome in the midst of the hypocrisy of the rest of the circle in Hertford-street. On the whole, with out being remarkable, this work will interest those who appreciate au ingenious story, ably executed, and who desire skilful ske'clies of the world and its worldly votaries. Such a character as Sophia Cor bet goes far to redeem a host of selfish and sordid in dividuals, and thus vindicates the narrative from the charge of bitterness or pr -judice. " Hecking ton" can lay claim to the attention of the novel reader, for it possesses many of the features that form the fascination of romance. - nlifn a x A.Vrne. aubl:nr ne nree telerks.' o vole. Virapraan and Hall. The author of this work has previously distin guished himself in the world of fiction, by several novels of varying merits, but all displaying that vigour and freshness which is the chief attraction of his writings. While mains aining his strength of style, however, he has not improved in polish ; he has given no thought to that careful cultivation without which the most luxurious garden will be come a wilderness, and the rapidity of its deterio ration will be in proportion to the strength and fer tility of its plants. It is more incumbent on an author, whose style is vivid andemphatic, to revise, to refine, and soften, than on one whose natural tameness of manner and monotonous language pre serve him from the rsk of going too far. It is not that there is anything in itself objectionable in the work, but in the author's dislike of all pretence of mock propriety and affectation, he rushes into the opposite extreme. Ho forgets that tholigh he may ' resolve to walk in a straight line to his object, instead of by crooked turnings, it is very desirable to avoid the brambles or pitfalls by the way. We shall hope, in his next contribution to the world of literature, to notice a sensible im provement in this respect. His ability is no doubt considerable, and his powers of observation and delineation of character are great. The old locality of Ihrehester and Bersetshire is the scene of this work, and some of our old friends are incidentally introduced. Dr. Thorne, the country doctor, is the hero of the book, at least the professed hero, as he gives it its title, but the chief interest centres on his niece Mary, and the family of the squire, Mr. Gresham. The plot displays considerable in genuity, and if not very probable, is not extrava gant. In thee() days of rapid changes we cannot wonder at a stonemason becoming a railway king, and dying like Sir Roger, worth three hundred thousand pounds. Neither, certainly, can we object to the doctrine that in these days every door is open to wealth, that the character and family connections, which are intolerable when their owner is penniless, are deserving of all honour and respect when the favoured individual owns half a million as well. The author does not spare the follies of human nature. Toe idols of family pride and exclusiveness, the worship of money and of great connections, are all attacked with unsparing hand. Many of his figures are no doubt drawn from life, but they belong to a class which could furnish many examples. Whether real independence be quite so huffy, so sensitive, as to its own position, may be questioned by the philosopher. Whether the intense conviction that you are the equal of every other human being, would be the most beneficial for the individual character, or the pleasantest attribute for a com panion who is bristling with indignation at every imagined hint or allusion to social position, may also be doubted. That the mere fact of an elevated position does nat lift the possessor above his fellow men in intrinsic woith, is now generally main tained, but the want of those social possessions does not necessarily invest him with every virtue. The true equality ranks all alike, and is no more inclined to idolise a Chartist than a duke. The author attacks with all his powers the fatal prin ciple of marrying for money. Frank Gresham, the squire s only son, is to succeed to a heavily en cumbered property, and a very limited income. Every year increases his father's difficulties, and the universal decision of the family is that, to avoid the threatened ruin, "Frank must marry money." How he contrived to reconcile the contending points of his love for Mary Thorne and the necessi ties of his position we leave the reader to discover, merely suggesting that real life is not always so complais tint, and the moral might have been bet er as well as more practical had Frank' kept to his early notion - and turned farmer. The difficult;e3 of Dr. Thorne, and his couscientious condust are well described, and the sketch of the Scatcherds, father and son, is vividly drawn. Though painful, it is lifelike, and should speak a word of warning to those who a' e, like there, v&untary slaves. There are many other characters introduced, all drawn with more or less skill, and many who scorn ro mance and sentiment will find (nteisainmeet in the group of secondary figures. We trust we shall meet the author at some future period in another work of fiction, in which he will avoid the occa sional extravagances and wa n t o f re fi nemen t th a t derogate from his present volumes, while preserv ing the freshness and vigour of his stye, the honesty and clearsightedness of his satire, and the lifelike fidelity of his charac:ere. Tnr, DEATH FROM STABBING AT WOROESTE II . —The adjourned inquest on the hody*of George Turner, th e t recruit, who was stabb e d l as t W e d ne sday evening; Worcester, was resumed on Monday.

The chief actors in the story belong to a quiet country family, and the different dispositions and peculiarities are well pourtrayed. The characters of the three daughters are well contrasted, and the brusque and uncon ventional Kate will enlist the reader's sympathies. Teresa, the eldest, takes the most prominent part, but is by no means the most pleasing. Though - her trials were severe, h Rr se lfi s h absorption in • her own interests prevents her from awakening any vivid degree of interest, Edith appears but little on the scene, but that little is gentle and captivating. The portrait Of aunt Teresa is ably drawn, an the perplexity as to her una c know- • ledged daughter is skilfully kept up. Teresa's • mistaken pretensions are artfully introduced, and those who delight in unravelling an entangled. plot will find much gratification in guessing the denouement. The conclusion is, however, very defective. All the other actors are pushed off the scene to make way for the two most prominent, and even they are summarily disposed of. Those who had excited our interest at the commencement are dismissed in a few words at the end. Mr. Forster is the type of a class who take advantage of a specious exterior and superficial knowledge to impose upon the credulous and unsuspicious. The story, which is no doubt an early production, does credit to itsanthor's taste and feeling, and promises some works of higher excellence. Tho Initials. By the author of "Quits." Bentley. Mr. Bentley's cheap series, which has included so many excellent works, has now reproduced this popular novel. The clever authoress has achieved a decided success in her last work, which has reached a second edition; and those of her readers who have not read her former fictions will now be able to make the acquaintance of "The Initials" in a very commodious form. The scene is laid abroad, and it is in her descriptions of Continental life that she excels. Her plot is not exciting, and her pictures of domestic life among us are not very striking; but in the delineations of the freedom and gaiety of Ger man peasant life she especially shines, and represents it in a most attractive form. The whole novel is contained in one volume, in clear type, and the lovers of fiction are fortunate when they have works of a supe'ior and original charac ter placed within the reach of all classes. Practical and Economical Cookery. By Mrs. Smith. Chapman and Hall. The two adjectives prefixed to this work are not often ingredients in the manufacture of domes tic receipts, and the complication of the directions, " and the expense of the articles required by the ex perienced professor, are as alarming to the careful housekeeper, as the omission of a few indispensable rudiments of culinary instruction are perplexing to the uninitiated. The little work before us is simple and concise, clear in its directions, and moderate in its requirements. The writer has been for 40 years a professed cook, and has therefore the benefit of practical experience. The great variety of dishes will afford useful suggestions to many, and the bills of fare may offer some acceptable hints in the arrangement of a banquet. The directions for carving are likely to be of service, and the little work commends itself to public favour by its prac tical utility. A Tramp's Wallet. By W. Duthie. Darton. • These pleasant reminiscences by an English goldsmith, of his wanderings in Germany and France, are mostly reprinted from " Household Wort." A stay of three years and a half on the Co:Ainent has enabled him to collect anecdotes and observations that form a very agreeable volume. It is a pleasant and entertaining compilation, and with its accounts of silver mines, Austrian jails, Leipio fairs, mountain walks, French and German workmen, and their national characteristics, it con veys a very good idea of continental life and manners. The New Quarterly Review. No. XXVI. The New Quarterly has several very interesting papers, and the general style maintains the cha racter of the serial. The most prominent questions of the quarter are treated of, and several literary ci iticisms pass under review the principal works of the season. An article on the "Anti-spasmodic • Shoo' of Poetry," has some Tensible remarks on poetry in general, though not altogether free frog' prejudice. THE LATE GOLD DUST ROBBERY. Last term a rule was obtained by the corpora tion of London for quashing an order made by two learned judges relative to the disposition of certain Turkish and Spanish bonds and other property, found in the possession of Burgess, Pierce, and Tester, who were tried and convicted at the Central Criminal Court in January, 1857, for steal on Ar,l nn +ha Crnith h Astern Railway. After the trial one-sixth of the' property was restored by the order in question to the South-Eastern Railway, as being part of the proceeds of the said robbery. The remaining five' sixths applied to certain Turkish bonds, which Agar, the approver,, who was previously con-. - Tided of forgery, bad handed over to Pierce for investment for Fanny Kay and her child by Agar. Pierce omitted to invest them, and when he was apprehended the Turkish bonds were found in his possession. The learned judges, under the circumstances, directed in the same order that the Turkish bonds amounting t°, near 2,0001. sho u ld b e i nveste d for Fanny Kay an d her child, in accordance with Agar's intention. The corporation of London claimed the properth i under the Chart er , as b e i ng entitled to take a l l felons' property within their jurisdiction. This merning°,the rule come on for argument before the Court of Queen's Bench, when the Court held that by the law felons' goods were forfeited, and that the learned judges had no power to make the order with reference b the Turkish bonds. That put of the order was rescinded, and the result je,. that Fanny Kay a n d h er c hild w ill b e depr i ve d o f the benefit of the money, which will be handed over to the sheriffs and under-sheriffs who were ill office when the trial took place, they being entitled to the property of felons, through the Corporations towards defraying the expenses of their officers. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE-, WEEK. (From the Report of the Registrar General.) The de tths registered in London, which in the two previous weeks were successively 1,057 and 1,082, rose in the week ending last Saturday to 1,106, of which 576 were deaths of males, 'and 5 30 those of females. In the ten years 1848-57 the average number of deaths in the w ee k s corres pond; ing with last week was 1004, but as the deaths of 'act week oc curre d i n an increased population, they can only be compared with the average after the - latter is raised in proportion to the increase, a cor rection which will make it - 1,104. .Hence" it ap" pears that the rate of mortality that prevailed last week agrees with the average, as calculated from ten years' experience at the end of May. The births of last week exceed the deaths in the - same period by 586. By comparing the results of the last two weeks with reference to the causes of death, it will be seen that while zymotic diseases have decreased from 269 to 259, and local diaereses from 420 to 406, those of the " constitutional" class have increased from 210 dea'hs to 265, and have produced the in' crease in the total number of deaths which is shown above. Phthisis (or consumption) is the s p e cial disease to which this result is duo, for whereas it was fatal in the previous week in 117 caw, lastweek it was fatal in 169. The correc t e d a verage for this disease for last week is 149.. Small-pa was fatal in 5 cases ' • measles decreased f r om 60 to. 45, whooping-cough from 72 to 61. There were 1 4 deaths from diarrhoea, the corrected average being 19. No case of cholera was returned.
