Some years ago, at the Oxford Commemoration, the undergraduates gave Lord RADNOR and the Dissenters three groans ! and immediately after -Lord RADNOR and his foxhounds three cheers ! Some of our contemporaries, and a goodly num ber of their Tory and of their High Church readers, if not too much advanced in years, have already groaned or cheered iu like manner for Lord DERBY and the Jews on Thursday, and Lord DERBY and Church Rates on Friday. Wu wish Lord DERBY joy of his numerous supporters on Friday night. He ought to know bc , ,t tho poli tical advantages of the course he has taken ; but he must be prepared for some disadvantages also. Two courses lay open to him. He might have supported the second reading, proffering some clauses in Committee to which the Abolitionists in the Commons would not object—what in fact, though in a little different form, he has done in regard to the Jews ; or he could move that th e present bill be rejected. He pre ferred the latter course. Mistakenly we think. Any bill on Church-rates must begin by abolishing them, though it might provide other means, such as pew rents, for raising the amount &ceded. Nyo, Ur:lord:de l Can see no reason for Lord DERBY'S adopting the course ho did, but that of a determination to show his power on a Tory and High Church question. He has shewn it abundantly. The man who could bid the Lords turn round and give him a majority on the Jew question one day, and next day command a majo rity of one hundred and fifty-one against a Liberal proposal, is, beyond doubt, the leader of the House of the Lords. This is the first time the abolition of Church rates has been proposed to their Lordships. So far from being surprised at the majority, we must .:onfcss that we are rather surprised and en couraged by the number of the ithuority. When once the Premier gave the intimation that no con sideration for the interest of the Ministry required any of the Lords Spiritual or Temporal to check their anti-Liberal instincts, why, of course, they rushed to the division, or posted up their proxies with heart and good will. Scores of the rustic rubbish of the Peerage, whose names are wholly unknown to the public, except by poring over di vision lists on such occasions as these, gladly enough expressed their antipathy to Dissenters and Radicals by recording their vote on a bill which they know to be a favourite with the former, The 187 non-contents indicate the temperament of the normal "lord." No one doubts, if asked, which way the Lords will vote on any liberal question, doubts how it will be, unless prudential circum stances modify their instincts ; then indeed they may emancipate Catholics or negroes, and abolish Corn Laws, or Property Qualifications for mem bers, or even admit a Jew to Parliament. That a lord would vote for Church-rates and against their abolition, unless Lord,DERBY told them they had better not, was as certain as that they had always, at first, voted against every liberal measure within the recollection of the oldest of us. But that thirty-sic should be prepared at once to vote for so thoroughly liberal a measure as releasing Dissenters from paying tribute to their Lordships' Church, and for com pelling Churchmen to keep their owu places of worship in repair, is really more than we looked for. The arguments were, it may be, new to their Lordships ; to us and to our readers they are, of course, old enough. We must give the Upper House time, however, to learn its Church-rate alphabet, and are glad it has so many as thirty six successful scholars ; but we need not again go over the old ground. The only question now with us is the practical one—what is to be done ? And there can be little doubt on that point. Lord DERBY himself was obliged on Thursday to concede that the Lords may always be beaten by time and the country ; and in this case the country has the matter more than usually in its own hands . Commonly not a step can be gained till a majority is actually secured in the Lords ; in this case it is enough to secure a majority in any parish vestry. If the parishes cannot persuade the Lords to abolish the rate everywhere, each parish, if at all independent, can, as hundreds of parishes have done, abolish it for itself. We may surely hope that, with the decision of the House of Commons in their favour, and the perversity of the Lords to arouse them, hundreds of parishes will refuse rates now which have been passive hitherto. But the power of abolitionists does not termi nate with a majority in vestry. That of course is conclusive, and wherever it can be obtained, it is cligraceful to Dissenters and liberal Churchmen to submit to compulsion. But their Lordships and Dissenters ought to know that a small and determined minority can prevent a rate being laid, or reduce its amount so much that it will not be worth levying ; and after the decision of the people's representatives on a question of taxation they are authorised in doing it. It is always possible and proper to object to the amount of a rate or to the items, or to the charge for each particular item. On these points au amendment can be moved; if rejected, a poll can be taken, and cannot be refused, for a decision the other day has completely settled that point. If the supporters of a rate beat on the poll, the rate in not thereby carried ; they must call another meeting, when again amendments to ex punge items, or to reduce the amount, may be again made, and polls again demanded.. This is the law of Church-rates ; let the opponents of them but use their powers, and what with majo rities in vestry, and polling on amendments by minorities, they may abolish the rate locally, and make the Bishops and the House of Lords glad to abolish Church-rates everywhere, even by next session. We must remind our anti-Church-rate friends, however, that they are no worse off under Lord DEBBY than they would have been under Lord PALMERSTON. He would not only have done no more for thew, but would have done worse, for he would have persuaded many Liberals not to support them in the Commons. He would have given a little joke and banter perhaps; but we prefer of the two, Lord DERBY' S straightforward opposi tion. We know better how to deal with it. The country must rely, not on a change of Ministry, but on itself. It must render the existence of any Ministry impracticable which will not concede its just demands. In East Norfolk, on this very point, it compelled Mr. COKE to inscribe Church rate abolition on his card, and we have strong reason for believing that this had much to do with obtaining him his small majority. At the next general election this course has but to be repeated, and increased majorities will soon tell the Lords that the time for further resistance is gone. As to our Tory friends, we admonish them not to be over-confident too soon. They h ave d one better than the Whigs hitherto. This alone has, :13 tiTy know, prolunged their term of office, and enabled them—with the aid or TinimPs also—to get pretty well through the session, and to secure a certain amount of popu larity. But they must not be frightened be cause obsolete Toryism in the rural districts clamours against their liberality. As soon as they yield to that cry their days are numbered. The country may care little whether DERBY, or Pa Lit" - STUN, or RISSELL be at the head of affairs ; but it does care to get on with liberal measures. If the Whigs cheat them of these, they have to go out. If the Conservatives follow the Whig game, they will find that they must turn out too—and "sarce thew right !" The Government of India Bill, as originally framed, passed through committee last night. There are, however, some additional clauses to be proposed, and therefore progress was again re ported, and the committee will sit once more on Monday next. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, with a laud able anxiety to save public time, suggested that the clauses should be then read, so that the bill might be printed, and the additional matter dis cussed cn the bringing up of the report. By that means Noble Lords and Right Honourable and Honourable Gentlemen would have full opportuaity of "freeing their minds," by deliver ing carefully prepared . speeches on each clause. But, unfortunately, Lord PALMERSTON remarked there could be only one speech on the rerort: , THE SIIN,_ LONDON while there might be any number in committee. It would be impossible then to restrain the burn ing eloquence of those panting for distinction, and for whom ono opportunity would be alto gether inadequate. The silent but potential admonitions of the Thames—the nauseating effluvia and sickening odours—could not induce ale malcontents to surrender any portion of their privilege, or to extend to the Government the courtesy which was never refused to their prede cessors. A suggestion that the committee should meet this day, in order to conclude the business, was also strenuously repudiated. Another day has thus been wasted. But the public will know who are the pries rcany responsible for the procrastination, which may annoy but cannel, seriously injure the Government. The first amendment on which a division was taken was that on the salaries of the members of Council, which it was proposed to reduce from 1,2001. to 5001. pei. annum,. Notwithstanding that the services of the best men would be re quired, and that not only much time and trouble whould be indispensably required, but also a residence in London or its immediate vicinity, and that the party would be excluded from Par liament, it was considered by 59 gentlemen that 5001. a year would prove a sufficient inducement to men of high standing and experience, and pos sessing the requisite qualifications, to accept the situation. As, however, 226 members were of a different opinion, the original scale of remunera tion was carried by a majority of 167. The closest division that took place was on clause 27, which provided that " orders now sent through the Secret Committee, may be sent by the Secretary of State, without communication with the Council." Lord JOHN RUSSELL thought it inconsistent with the policy of the bill that there should be any secrecy from the Council. It was manifest, however, that such a regulation would be opposed to the full responsibility of the Minister, and might unduly fetter him in cases of pressing emergency. He could, of course, if time and circumstances permitted, and if be deemed it expedient so to do, obtain their opinions, but it would be very impolitic to bind him to do so. The clan se was therefore retained by a majority of 24. The numbers being for it 119—against it 95. The chief discussion took place on the 38th clause, which provides that the dividend of the Company, and existing and future debts, liabi lities, and expenses, should be charged on the revenues of India " alone." The word " alone" was objected to ; the effect of the omission would be to saddle the Consolidated Fund with every Indian liability, and of course to improve materially the position of those who advanced money at 5 or 6 per cent., which with a national guarantee could have been obtained at 3 or 31. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, however, was firm, and the amendment was ulti mately negatived without a division. Notwithstanding these delays, we may, how ever, hope that the bill will be introduced into the Lords early in the week, and that it may be disposed of so as to admit of a prorogation of Parliament before the close of the present month. Mr. HENRY BERKELEY is entitled to great cre dit for the judicious manner in which he framed and introduced the interrogatory which produced the satisfactory information that a plan had been presented by the Metropolitan Board of Works, on Thursday, which, they believed, ought to be adopted to remedy the grievance. Also, that the Government intended to propose a measure at the earliest possible day, and certainly in time to enable both Houses of Parliament to come to a decision—he trusted a satisfactory one, on the whole question. This is as it should be. Should the Government be enabled to abate this monster nuisance; should they purify the " filthy ditch," and avert the pestilence that may be engendered by its horrible exhalations, and enable parties once more to re sort to the silent highway, they will have entitled themselves to the national gratitude in no ordinary degree. We use the term " national " advisedly. It is not a 'mere local question. The present condition of " the silver winding Thames " is a stain and disgrace to the British Empire. It not only disgusts the inhabi tants of the metropolis and its numerous provincial visitors, but induces intelligent foreigners to cast a slur on the institutions under which such a state of affairs could possibly arise. It would of course be better if time could be taken to select the best of the nume rous schemes that have been put forward. But procrastination would be fatal, and any thing would be better than inaction. Ere the close of the year, England may have to deplore the loss of a greater number of its citizens than perished in the Russian War or the Indian Rebellion. It is not now merely a matter of L. s. d. The health and lives of the people are at stake : not merely of the inhabi tants of London, but of the entire country ; for most assuredly, if disease, in any of its multifarious forms, should be engendered, it would spread throughout the length and breadth of the land. There would be no safe guard in any district —no adequate defence against the insidious assailant. The laying down of pipes cutting off the sewage from the river would do much, and. that step might be taken with but trifling loss of time. In suoh a case, the expense is of comparatively trivial importance. The lives of the people are of more importance than money. Red-tapist regu lations must be suspended under the circum stances, hud whatever is to be done should be done quickly, and, so far as practicable, effectually ! We shall await the introduc tion of the Government measure , with con siderable anxiety, taubtiLig, however, that it may redound to their credit, and add to the reputatiou they have already achieved since their accession to office.

The annexed balance-sheet was presented, showing debts to th e amount of 33,690/, with assets estimated at only 6,2371, and, after a long and stormy discussion, it was resolved to throw the estate into bankruptcy. At a meeting of creditors of Messrs. Bristow, War ren, and Harrison, wholesale grocers, who stopped en the 26th of last month, a balance-sheet, prepared by Messrs. Coleman, Turquand, Youngs, and Co., account ants, was presented, showing liabilities 49,563/. (exclu sive of 23,5061. on account of bills receivable not ex, !noted to prove against the estate), with net assets amounting to 38,1461., or about 15s. in the pound. An adjournment was ordered to receive the report of a committee. In connection with the circumstances of this failure there was apparently a desire to avoid pub licity, and no reporters were admitted. .SATUADAY EVENING, JULY 3, 1858. LATEST NE S. Intelligence has been received from Constanti nople to the 26th June. The inhabitants of Candia, though peaceable, were still ready to act, unless the Porte granted them large concessions. The eireasiaus were said to have gained some ad vantage over the Russians. Two Egyptian princes have arrived to thank the Sultan for having raised them to the grade of marshal. The Athens journals of the-24th explain the dismissal of Veli Pacha, saying that the Admiral Hassan Pacha discovered the existence in the island of secret meetings at which the ex-governor excited the Mussulmans to resistance. Greece has placed her subjects in Caul.), tinier the profpetion of the French Admiral. FRANCE. PARTS, FRIDAY. it is currently reported that Admiral Hamelin will, in all probability, give in his resignation as Minister 15f Marine. The importance of that post has been_considerably diminished by the separation of the colonial branch, which now belongs to the department of Prince Napoleon as Minister for Algeria. I believe nothing definitive is as yet decided on the point ; but, should the admiral persist in retiring, there is iittle doubt that the Prince will take the portfolio of Marine in addition to his present functions. " The Moniteicr publishes the names of thegenerals who will have commands at the camp of Chalons, and announces that Marshal Canrobert will have the command in chief. The French journals busy themselves with a dis cussion on the import of the displacement of Gen. Eipinasse by M. Delangle. They maintain strenu ously that it means no shange in policy. Prince Jerome, who passes part of the summe r every year at Havre, intends taking. his departure for that seaport about the 25th.

At Demerara the Combined Court hal just cloned its session. The registration tax has been abolished, and the deficiency occasioned thereby to the revenue made up of increased duties on several articles of import. The weather continues very wet, which prevents sugar making, and its continuance will injure this year's crop. Labour is still scarce. Since last advices the ship Hope well has arrived from St. Helena with 140 captured Africans, and the steamer Clarendon with 336 coolies. Freights are lower. Advices from Barbadoes announce a continued fall of rain throughout the country, by which the young canes arc thriving rap Ply.

THE FIRE AT THE LONDON Dom.—At the half-yearly meeting, yesterday, the chairman stated that the damage occasioned by the late fire was not so large as first inti mated. The damage to the property of the company was about 12,0001., which was fully covered ; and the loss on produce was estimated at 40,000/. to 50,0001, also believed to be in a great measure insured. The total consequently is about 02,0001., in lieu of 100,0001., the original estimate. THE RIAGAZINES. Blackwood. —Tito instalment of "What will he do with it r which is hero presented to the reader, is, perhaps, one of the most interesting that has yet appeared. We are not introduced to such agreeable phases of life, it is true, as in some other passages, nor are the persons met with endowed with the genius, whose halo casts a glory ever the path of Darrell, or gifted with the sweet and at tractive qualities that charm and fascinate in the gentle young Sophy ; but there is a vigour in the startling revelations disclosed, that gives a character to the story, and stamps it with individuality and importance. We are carried back through the twi light of the past to take a glance at the early days of " grim Arabella Crane." Austere and ungenial as she has appeared to us, it must be confessed that she had endured enough, to harden the mind, and deaden the feelings. Hers was not a nature that softens by suffering. She required all the refining influences of affection, and the warm sunshine of kindness, to ameliorate the hard and harsh attri ' ef her mind. Her character was not of that sublime eider vseich le the Fever)+, - uses of adver sity ; her heart could not iespousl to tee beautiful impressions of grace, by which the mourner can find the dark path illuminated by the clay-spring from on high, and through tears see the heaven where they shall never more be shed. It is not surprising, after reading of the fiery trials of her youth, to notice the adamant disposition which ap pertains to Arabella Crane. Such wrongs rankling in her mind, such sentiments pervading her existence, could not have produced anything different. By various accounts and remi niscences, we are enabled to form a more correct idea of the plan of the work as a whole, and to estimate more thoroughly the in fluence of events, upon the characters of those before our notice. Jasper Losely is left in the e tre of Poole, to the horror and dismay of that latter individual, who finds too late the danger of mixing with rogues, and the difficulty of shaking off the acquaintance when its relinquishment seems de sirable. The most satisfactory incident here re corded is the decision of Darrell not to marry again ; and the reader rejoices with him in his freedom, when, escaped from the snares and pit falls of the town, he finds himself at evening hour again safe in the beautiful shades of Fawley Manor. "My First and Last Novel" is an amusing tale, which narrates the singular adventures, met with by a young wife in her attempt to compose a fiction in secret. Her intention was good, but she carried it out in a most unwise manner, and acted so strangely, that her husband could not be blamed for thinking she was implicated in some thing wrong. Hdi work gained the remarkable success which always attends the hurried attempts of inexperienced writers in sketches like the pre sent. Minnie had some claim on fate, however, to accord her renown, since she had suffered so many ills in her task of authorship. 'The First Bengal European Fusiliers at Lucknow" is con tinued from the June number. It is a subject that attracts attention at the present moment, and a perusal of this account will afford gratification, as there can be but one opinion concerning the im portance of the struggle, and the merits of those engaged in it. Indian affairs are also treated of in " The Poorbeah Mutiny," which contains much useful information of that memorable event. " The Soldier and the Surgeon " is the title pro s fixed to some judicious - observations on the sani tary condition of the army, which are written by one who forms a true notion of the importance of his subject. He observes, at the commencement, that—" Though peace may have her victories not less renowned than war, yet it fares ill with that people among whom the soldier and his services are not duly esteemed and suitably acknowledged." We have elsewhere alluded to the two brilliant articles on " The Great Imposture and " Mr. Dusky's Opinions on Art," which appear at the conclusion of this number. They will be found in every way to repay perusal. . Dab/in.—The story of " Gerald Fitzgerald" is continued with increasing interest, and there is some skill displayed in the gradual development of the youth's mind ; it truly shows how evil impres sions once instilled into the mind are difficult to eradicate. At the conclusion of this part of the narrative a new prospect of a settled life seems once more to dawn on the wandering hero. "Olympia Morata" is the subject of an agreeable sketch of the life of that remarkable woman. She is described as the most learned woman of her age. It is amusing to notice how distasteful to her mind were the mean occupations in which she was com pelled to engage, on account of the straitened cir cumstances of the household. It is said, while she patched the old habiliments, she envied the Israelites in the wilderness for the garments which waxed not old during forty years of " The Lady Agnes," translated from the German, is a legend in verse, which is well worthy of regard. The story is a pleasing one and gracefully de scribed. " The Right -lion. Sir Edward Bulw, r Lytton :—his career, genius, and writings," is the subject of an article that will doubtless arrest at tention. It is always interesting to trace the prc gress of a master mind from the first dreams of ambitious youth, till the proud period of their realisation. Many whose early days were devoted to castle building, find their maturity approach, while yet no chaplet has adorned their brows, and no admiring world has sounded their applause. Of those aspirants who fail from their powers being too much estimated by themselves, or too little regarded by others, was certainly not that dreamer by the banks of Windermere, whose life is here brought before our notice. It is an endeavour to combine an epitome of his career, an analysis of his talents, and a summary of his works, in the small space that is devoted to one theme in a publication like the present ; and it will appear to most readers that the project has been successfully carried out. The generality of people will differ on particular points, the favourite of one is unnoticed by another, but the true-think iing and the right-judging will recognise the nobility 'of mind, and yield to the spell of genius. Putting aside the considerations of political prejudice, and literary jealousy, they will appreciate intellect by whomsoever possessed, whether by statesmen whom they know are not dependent on the transient plaudits of the hour, but whose names belong to their country's history, or by authors whose works will outlive their critics, and delight by their perusal " The future sons and daughters still unborn" of the generations that shall flourish when our own has passed away. "The Identification ; a Narra tive of Facts," by a Constabulary Officer, is an ex ceedingly interesting story. It is a singular cir cumstance, which is related in an ingenious man ner, and the important points . of the evidence, the trial, &c., seem to furnish overwhelming proofs of the guilt of the accused party. After all has been decided upon, the fatal sentence passed, the awful hour appointed when h e , w h o t hen stood in the court should be compelled to exchange time for eternity, a sudden change occurs, an unlooked-for incident intervenes, to rescue the doomed one, who was wrongfully accused. Another had comm i tted the crime, who resembled him in appearance, in an extraordinary degree, so that in the shades of n'git he was easily mistaken by inany persons. Th e sudden transition from despair to hope, from the valley of the shadow of death to the light of day and the charms of home, may be imagined. The striking passages are p)werfully dwelt upon, and the exciting interest of the tale well sustained. " The True Stoty of a Cock and a Bull" is a brief sketch which contains some humorous remarks re lating to the fallacious idea, that was recently so prevalent, of foreign invasion, and the star:ling announcements that wore made of the manufac ture of— "Armaments to thunderstriko the walls Of rock-built &ties, bidding nations quake, And monarchs tremble in their capitals." "T' (Inman Legend,"byJ. Slingsby, is pleasing. It relates tn. n.ury of 01 cli 1 , l will besought its mother not to mourn for its loss, as would not let it sleep in the grave. She struggled for composure, and checked the starting tear, and hushed the rising sigh, and again in her ski? she saw a vision, and heard a voice, but brighter and happier than iu her earlier dream— " Slecp on, thou patient mother, No more with grief opprest, Untroubled now, and sweetly, Thy little one takes rest. " He that for ever giveth Rest to his children dear, Seudeth to thee this vision Thy loving heart to cheer." Awoke that mother lonely, As passed the voice and light ; But, she knew who stood in glory Beside her bed that night. The angel of her little child the message blest had given— One of the angels that behold The Father's face in heaven. Fraser.—There are several articles in Fraser this month which will attract and gratify the reader. The commencement of a new story pro mises well for the lovers of fiction. There is little incident in this introductory instalment, but it brings the actors upon the stage,. and they will no doubt play their parts with spirit. The concluding volumes of Mr. Froude's History of England receive a favourable notice, which commends his research, his industry, and the graces of his style. The article proceeds to ° vivo an interesting sum mary of the career and character of Henry the Eighth, but the conclusions at which both Air, Fronde and his critic arrive are contradicted by the plain voice of fact. No political sagacity, no steadfast self-reliance, no patronage of education, can compensate for the darker shadows of his career. Mr. Froude admits him to have been without the gift " which becomes The throned monarch better than his crown ;" and though the reviewer would fain extenuate oven his cruelty and injustice, the deaths of Sir Thomas More, of Anne Bolriyn and Catherine Howard, are unanswerable contradictions to the endeavour to paint Henry as au upright and much-maligned sove reign. Frederick Ten Dyson contributes some graceful verses on Roseleaves, displaying some amount of poetic feel ing,yet some whattoo dreamy and my s ti ca l. " Teneriffe—a s ummer above the clouds," is the title of an interesting an instructive paper, founded on the experiences of Professor Piazzi Smyth, Royal Astronomer for Scotland, who re cently ventured on an expedition to the Peak. His scientific observation will of course be read with the greatest advantage in the original volume, but the article before us gives a summary of what is most remarkable in it, as well as a few introduc tory pages on the characteristics of that lonely ial,nd, which well desPrve attentiou. Church yards are a favourite 6ubject for the theu:,;liful a,n(l reflective. Even if the writer confines himself to the mere practical view, there is always something to a.ttr set the curious and speculative reader in the different modes and ceremonies with which the varying nations and races have interred their dead. There is much to engage the reader in this paper, and the extracts from tho different works on the subject give it a variety and freshness. The writer com ments on the miserable failures which have always attended the attempt to withstand the Creator's law of dust returning to dust. "Surely," he exclaims "it is better a thousand times to bury our dead from our sight than to preserve a hideous mockery cf the beloved form: The method of urn sepulture excites equal indignation. " Only think of a man pointing to half-a-dozen urns on. his mantlepiece and chetionier and saying, There the wicked cease from troubling, and there the weary are at rest.'" Epitaphs and monumental inscriptions must necessarily find a place in such an. article, and an interesting selection is made; some long and elaborate, others brief and emphatic, like the " Miserritnus," which inspired Words - Worth. or the happier " Einigravit," which marks thetoMb of Albert Darer. Among the celebrated writers who have lent their aid in commemorating the dead are Ben Jenson, Pope, and Walter Scott ; but few inscriptions can be more impressive than the plain stoi. sr that cover the resting places of John Howard and the "Man of Ross." The papers on Natural History are continued, and tell us same of the peculiarities of man-of-war birds, boobies, and noddies. " Con sumption in the Guards" is the title of a paper which treats of thejquestion of military sanitary fe• form, which has lately attracted so much public attention. " Catarina in Venice" is the first part of a Study on the Lagoon, written in a dreamy style, not without ability and interest. The most attractive of the remaining papers is one on Petrie's Ancient Music of Ireland. The rich variety and the mournful pathos of those beautiful Celtic airs must be familiar to most lovers of music. There is much truth in the following remarks, which, treating of the great principles ofiArt, are equally applicable to the sister arts of Poetry and Paint ing in the present day : "But it is not only on account of its historic interest that we plead for the study of national music. Our loving care is justly claimed by the pure and beautiful merody to be found among the still surviving relics of ancient song. Arising, as this music has done, from the breast of man in his untutored state, these songs, at first the improvisation of some unknown artist, caught up by his children or companions, and chanted from place to place, have gradually taken the form of purest melody, in which natural feeling speaks forth simply, unfettered by rules, and unrestricted by conventionalities. • " Time has borne witness to the truth of the assertion 'that it is by force of Melody and not Harmony, theta work endures successfully throughout all ages.' And yet how little is this truth acknowledged in the present da,y when it is the complaint of all who think and speak truly on the subject, that the great value placed upon the technical and mechanical part of the art has brought our composers to a strange state. Their productions are 'no longer music; they wander far without the com pass of human feeling, and we can give them no re sponse from the mind and from the heart.' This ten dency in the present day to substitute mechanism for thoughtful work, and the mere show of truth for truth itself, is to be lamented in other arts besides that of music. For the spirit, be it good or evil, which animates one art will tell is all ; and on the truth or falsity of this animating spirit it is that the greatness of art depends." Bentley's Miscellany. —This magazine claimsths congratulations of its readers o n a tt a i n i ng it s forty fourth volume, a dignity which encourages it to take a survey of public affairs, and to express the opinion shared by so many Liberals of the present day, on the removal of Lord Palmerston's Govern ment. It will be entertaining to many Eeglish readers to examine the character given of this statesman by a German writer. It forms the sub ject of another article, entitled " Palmerston and his Policy," and is taken from a Leipic publica tion. A concluding paragraph by the translator, though disclaiming some of his opinions, endorses the principles on which they are founded, and ends with a vigorous denunciation of. the fallen Whigs, whom all other parties agree. in distrusting. " Going into Exile," is the continuation of, the story of the missing bracelet. The mystery is not cleared up, but Alice Seaton, in her anxiety to screen her lover and her sister, places herself in a somewhat awkward predicament. Suspicion falls on Gerard Hope, who leaves the country, but the suspicion of the reader is rather directed to the sister. It is au unfortunate fact for Alice's peace of mind, that both parties declared their pressing need of money on that occasion. " A Lady in Spitzbergen," is a title to excite the emulation of fair adventurers, but the traveller does not seam to have found her expedition very prepossessing. •The grim solitudes of the northern seas had few attrac tions for the lively Partsienne. Monkshood, in his New Book Notes, takes for a subject a volume, recently publisheti in Paris, on the Lives of Mary 'Stuart and Catherine de Medicis. Tho eventful lives of these two remarkable women have so often filled the pages ofthe historian and biographer, that little now remains to be said ; but the summary of their lives is not without interest. A sketch of the life and writings of Eugene Sue contains some curi ous accounts of his vicissitudes and engagements. There is much that is melancholy in this brief and business-like record of the life and death of one who should surely have been capable of bettor thi ngs . " The story of the Ghetto" takes a retro spect of the Jews in Rome, which at the present epoch will not be an unattractive subject. " As tronomic Fancies" display considerable ingenuity, and wine originality of design. " A Few Words about South Australia," presents that colony in a most favourable light. Colburn's United Service.—The opening article is on "Our Position iu India," and strongly advo cates a vigorous policy. Nevertheless, it upholds some impracticable opinions, and there is a want of that large-minded and csmprehensive spirit which is necessary for the government of millions of a different race from ourselves. The writer seems to consider that it is necessary for European supremacy that all efforts to improve or en licihten the native population, to -ra,isre - - them in the social scale, must be suppressed and dis couraged • that the more degraded and crushed the native, the more secure will be the English rule. " Whatever conduces to the greater self respect or to the greater self-confidence of those to whom our presence must be always a grievance and injustice, from that moment we are acting to our own die comfititi e." No wonder that holding such opinions he . should say that England would be none the worse if India were lost to her to-morrow. He forgets that he himself contradicts his assertions when he states that the native is now what he alsra,ys Iris, a contemptible foe ; and that the century which has ellocGcAl. illilCh for us less done nothing for him. : The innate superiority of the race will always show itself ; there is no need for the con• staut use of the bayonet and cannonade. Where the two races come together the European must rule, and surely it should be the aim of a groat natitat to rule worthily and well, a consummation never to be attained if we look on our Indian pos sessions and Indiau subjects with scorn and indif ference, and make it an object to debase and crush them. The unpopularity of the navy is a sensible ar icle on a subject that is well desetving the con sideration of those in authori.y. The m'smange ment and vacillation so often displayed by succesive t h e minds of seam en. Th e contrad i ctory Boards of Admiralty has had the most injurious o eff rde ee r t s that on have been issut d within a few) errs ate s ufficient to disgust the sailor and coast-guardsman. The present naval administration escapes the cen sure of its predecessors, and we hope it will continue to consider the grievances of naval officers and seamen with a view to their removal, a task which is worthy of any amount of time or trouble, as it is futile to expect that able and well conducted man will devote years to a service which offers them so few advantages for long service and good conduct. ' Cuba and the Slave-Trade " are treated of at length. The horrors of that abomin able traffic have been so often detailed, that most readers are familiar with them. Nevertheless, it is somewhat startling to read that, " from close packing in small space, the deaths are now com puted at 50 per cent."
