Sir CHARLES TREVELYAN has abandoned the advocacy of his magnificent project. He acknowledges frankly enough that upon the score of economy it has no pre tensions whatever to consideration. The alternative consequently narrows itself now to one between the Carey-street site and the Howard-street site—be tween the site proposed at the eleventh hour by Mr. LOWE or Mr. LAYARD, and the site originally mapped out, and since then bought and paid for, and cleared for building upon, by deliberate arrangement on the part of the Royal Commissioners. Now—reduce the whole qnestien to that alternative, and we have no hesitation whatever in reverting to our original pre- Terence for the site now actually possessed by the nation, and prepared fir the architect. The di mensions of the Rival Sites at present under discussion are simply identical. The site now bough t and paid for, and cleared, is a site of exactly six acres. The site proposed to be bought, intended to be paid for, designed to be cleared, is in like manner a site of exactly six acres. According to the Chief Commissioner of Public Works, six acres will be ample space for all the New Law Courts that will really be required. Grant that, concede that point to Mr. LATARD, and away go all the arguments addue:d against the notion of the Carey-street site, because of its retention involving the purchase of additional land in its immediate neighbourhood. The extent of ground already acquired there, Mr. LAYARD assures us, is all that is really wanted. If so—let us leave well alone. What we want—namely, six acres of ground in a central and commanding posi tion—we already possess. No additional money need be spent in buying more. While—if we only come to contrast the relative merits of these two Rival Sites—a single glance at the Government plan or map, now lying before us, indicates more clearly, more rapidly, and more cogently than any words can do, how far preferable the Carey-street Site, already obtained, is to the bran new site pro posed to be purchased upon an afterthought, blurted out, all of a sudden, first of all by Mr. LOWE, and afterwards by Mr. LAYARD. Look at the two ! One —the Carey-street Site, the Site that is already ours, bought, paid for, and cleared—is certainly in a Cen tral and a very commanding position. To the north it looks upon Carey-street, or, in other words, upon Lincoln's-inn ! To the South it looks directly upon the Strand ! Whereas that other site which we are asked now to select by preference, is literally in a ho'e in a corner. A Strand frontage is to be denied to it. That in truth is set forth as one of its con spicuous merits or advantages. Hid away, we are told, behind a back street, the street giving the site its distinctive name, it will effectually secure us against the risk of being tempted on that side into the expense of anything like ornamentation. So far as architectural arrangements are concerned, there, on the northern part of the New Law Courts, if there they are unhappily to be built, the once talked of Palace of Justice might, if it so pleased us to decide beforehand, upon purely economical grounds, emulate the appearance of either side of an ordinary London street, as that was once epigrama tically described to be by the Great Italian Sculptor ANTONIO CANOVA to wit, a wall with holes in it, the said holes, of course, being simply fur the pur poses of doors and windows. As Sir ROUNDEL L PALIIER said only the other night in the House of Commons, the only possible way of getting anything at all like a view of the proposed New Law Courts supposing them to be eventually built upoa on this Fel site of Mr. LAYARD and the Chancellor of the Exche quer, would be to look at them from a river steamboat or from one or other of the nearest bridges. Very sitisfactory, no doubt, a view like that, to Mr. LA- rARD'S C3l3StittletltS in S)uthwark, but to hardly any others out of the three millions of Londoners. As to the central position of the Carey -street site there never have been two opinions. Any site upon the Thames Embankment would have clearly and obviously the disadvantage of being on the very margin or verge of the circle of the legal quarters as tLey are now, and have been, nume rically distributed in the metropolis. The Ibward- street Site would have all the legal quarters to the north, or north-east of it. The Carey-street Site woul I, on the contrary, place the newly-constructed Law Courts midway between the Temple and Lin- coin's Inn. Chancery-laue would lie to the east of them. New Inn and Clements to the we,t of them. To the south would lie the Middle and the Inuer Temple. Stretching away to the north would be Lincoln's Inn, Gray's Inn, Staples lno, Raymond buildings, Belford-row, Red Lion-square, and a num ber of other contiguous legal localities. For the con- venience of the lawyers generally, for the convenience of counsel, of solicitors, of clients, of witnesses— there cannot be an instant's doubt about it that the central position of the Carey -street Site must necessarily make it vastly preferable. Earnestly we cannot but hope that the House of Commons will not be led away, upon the single plea of economy, to forego all the advantagas already selured to them by the choice made, after mature considera tion, by the Royal Commissioners. More particu- larly bearing in min 1 the acknowledged, or rather, it should be said, the paraded fact set forth, both by Mr. LOWE and by Mr. LAYARD, in their over- zealous advocacy of the newly-propounded scheme for the purchasing of a new site immediately to the north of Howard- street, namely, that wedged in, as it will be, between King's College and the Temple, there will be no possibility of its expansion afterwards either to the east or to the west. That h spoken of, forsooth, by Mr. LOWE and by Mr. LAYARD as „Ark.., advantage. To our thinking, on the contrary, it is a very obvious and even a very glaring disadvantage. It is like the re- commendation of a very small boot—in spite of the imminent risk of its pinching. Economise, if you will ; but, in the name of common sense, don't render yourself beforehand a slave to your own economies. Mn. REVERDY JOHNSON sticks to his text bravely. His first word was peace and goodwill. His last word is goodwill and peace. He came to remove Pall difficulties, and though he leaves them as he found them, he goes from us with the con viction that the two countries are agreed in thinking the occurrence of a war between them as dire a calamity as could happen, The latest information from the other. side of the Atlantic is decidedly more pacific than that which we had been receiving during the previous two or three weeks. The Americans seem to be a little ashamed of Senators SUMNER and CHANDLER, and altogether repudiate any intention of going to war in order to carry out their ideas. Mr. SUMNER'S little bill for 800 millions sterling is not to be pre sented, at least not in the naked form ; nor is Mr. CHANDLER'S proposition for the transference of British North America in settlement of that amount to be officially suggested. Nevertheless, Mr. MOTLEY Will be instructed to demand that the question of England's moral responsibility for the results of the neutrality proclamation shall be referred to arbitra tion, and if decided against us all damages resulting therefrom shall be pressed for payment. Who is to assess the daitages we are not informed, 'Probably even Mr. MOTLEY will hardly expect us to pay the bill without getting the King of PRUSSIA to tax it. We presume it is not probable that Lord CLAREN DON will accept these new proposals. We suspect that the chief politicians of the United States have not much expectation that we shall accept them. And yet it would not be wise to decide off-hand that no such proposals can be entertained. Considering that England in recognising the belligerency of the Confederate States did only what the rest of Europe did, what the Sovereign who will act as arbitrator did —considering, too, that England but followed the example of the Washing ton Government itself, it seems impossible that arbitration can be given against us. It may be urged that there will be a loss of dignity in submitting such a question as this—which was essentially one for the decision of our own statesmen—to the decision of any other persons or Power. But England has already set an example to the rest of the world in referring quarrels to arbitra tion. She did this in a case where no suspicion of weakness could be entertained—in the case of her misunderstanding with the Brazilian Empire. Every additional resort to that mode of settlement increases the prestige which will surround arbitration, and renders more and more improbable the resort to the dread, but most unsatisfactory, arbitrament of war. We have already agreed to refer points which we at first refused to include in the reference. Let us not be too hasty in deciding upon the present point. There would be no ground for the charge of weak ness in accepting the reference at the outset ; there would be too much ground if we accepted after refusing. IT seems to be forgotten that as much mischief may be wrought by exaggerating the demands which the Irish tenants are making, as by exaggerating the concessions which the Government is prepared to grant. It is the peculiarity of such speeches as Lord DEnBY'S last weelclliat it eoriil4tes both evils. According to him, the'te‘iants expect to pay no rent after 1870 ; according to him, the Govern ment has, by the unwise speeches of certain of its members, induced this expectation. The result of such statements will naturally be the very event which Lord DERBY affects to dread. The very fact that such a contingency as the transfer of the land to the tenant is considered worth discussing in the Legislature ; the very fact that a party in the Legislature, and this party the ruling one, should be supposed capable of entertain ing such an idea, will lead the Irish peasant to consider that theie is nothing so very unreasonable in it after all. That supposition, if it does exist, is hardly likely, however, to produce the effects which Lord DERBY has attributed to it. Irish tenants are not fools, and they are therefore not likely to suppose that the shooting of landlords will strengthen the hands of the Ministry. The most ordinary common sense and prudence would induce the tenants to shew modera tion if they intend to get anything from Parliament. Agrarian crimes would imply the depth of despair rather than the keenness of expectation. This, in fact, is Archbishop LEAHY'S view of the question. The Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dublin has just issued a pastoral, in which he ascribes such recent murders as are of agrarian origin to the too long protracted settlement of the land question, to the unhappy relations between landlords and tenants, and to the traditions of internecine warfare. At the same time he is cer tain that no agrarian conspiracy exists. He believes that such a conspiracy must become known to the Roman Catholic clergy, who have in the Confessional a powerful organisation for the detection of plots. lie is equally certain that in proportion as the belief prevails that a settlement of the land question is at hand, will the present isolated crimes diminish. He declares that recent speeches by Mr. GLADSTONE and Mr. BRIGHT have had nothing to do with those crimes. Archbishop LEAHY'S- actual knowledge coincides with the belief of every unpre judiced person—the belief that the Irish people have the wit to see that a message of peace can be sent only to the upholders of peace.

The Cape mail steamer Roman, with the above mails, arrived here at 3 o'clock this morning. Her dates are—Table Bay, 19th April; St. Helens, 27th ; and Maderia on the 13th inst. She brings 75 passengers and 26 sacks of mails, which were forwarded by the 6.45 a.m. train for London. The large 831 carat diamond recently found and valued at 5,30,000, has been detained at Cape Town. E;ght persons, including Mr. Green, the Civil Commissioner of Colesberg, and his clerk, Mr. Lorenzo Boyes, now. Civil Commissioner of Mamaqualand, declare that in December last they negotiated a secret arrangement with Waterboer Chief of the Griguas tribe. Ile transferred to them all claims for a Royalty on precious stones or metals found within his country, fixing the Royalty at one fifteenth of the gross value. They assert that the diamond referred to was found in Waterboer's coun try, and have procured an interdict on the gem in the Supreme Court until their claims were settled. The owners of the diamond assert that it was found on Bridal territory - at Leith. There were twenty more diamonds recently found in the hands of different persons at Cape Town. However, when it became known that the above interdict was served, not a single individual could be found to own that he had one. The correspondent of the Graff Reinet herald writes there are reports of another diamond larger than the 831 carat one, having been found. The Rev. John Al‘lienzie, for several years a missionary, returning to England in the Good Elope, reports that gold in quantities sufficient to pay for working will be foundin the country north of his late station, and that had the diggers, who recently arrived at Natal, been assured of their personal safety, they would have proceeded to the reported gold country.

PAUPERISM AND CRIMIJ. Mr. Hicks, who has devoted much time to the analysis metropolitan crime and pauperism, has been preparing s scheme for distinguishing between the deserving and ;he undeserving poor. He does not altogether approve 3f the plan proposed by the association for the Pre vention of Pauperism and Crime, as he thinks that it would !Mail much additional machineryand consequent expense, besides allotting to the charitable public many of the duties which belong to the board of guardians. The association advises: I. The subdivision of parishes into districts; 2. The institution of charity offices; 3. The em ployment of resident' officers under the direction if the association. Mr. Hicks agrees with them in their main object—the securing of united action between the dispensers of-private charity and of Poor-law relief, but his great principle is to throw the burden of preliminary investigation open the Poor-law officers, He would gain this end by establishing in each parish a house of relief" in connection with the workhouse, and ]Aden the same management. The workhouse should con tain only the able-bodied, while - the "house of relief" should be for the sick, -infirm, aged, and broken down, A superintendent should reside at the house of relief, and should at all times be found either in - person or by an efficient deputy. his duty world Lc to give information to all applicants within his district, and to put all inquirers into the way of having their applications investigated. lie would be required to know the poor of his district thoroughly, so as to supply the guardians with informa tion when cares came before them. Mr. Hicks wishes the 000 r-law officials,. the clergy, and charitable societies to agree never, under any inducement, to give relief until a case has been investigated by the superintendent of the district. The answer to every applicant for relief, where aver he is encountered, is to be " Go to the house of relief and obtain a ticket." The superintendent may giv3 mmediate relief if the case is an urgent one, pending the result of his investigations, and the ticket supplied to him specifies the amount given. The charitable donor is requested to give no relief excepting' through the super intendent ; the amount to be given is to Le written en the back of the ticket, and the superintendent will apply for it within a given time. Mr. Hicks thinks that this scheme would provide valuable assistance to curates, lady visitors, and charitable societies, as- the deserving poor would become better known, and the duty of the superintendent would be chiefly to deal with the vagrant tramp and professional beggar. The result, he believes, would he that all the doors for relief would be closed against those whose cases would not bear investigation ; while, on the other hand, the deserving resident poor of each district might rely on their cases being more thoroughly known than is possible under the present cant of system. It is evident, however, that the success of the scheme would depend upon the individual zeal and efficiency of the superintendents. THE NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION. The association has just announced its l'st of prizes, now extended to Other branches of the services, for, in addition to the Volunteers and " All Corners," to whom the shooting was thrown open, certain prizes have been- offered, free, to competitors from the Army, Royal Marines, and to sailors from the training-ships of her Majesty's Navy. The prize shooting at Wim bledon is divided into two classes, " Volunteer" and "All Comers," and the arms Government Enfields and " any," the latter term applying almost universally tosmall bores, fitted with peculiar sights for target shooting. The first prize is the "Queen's.," being given by her Majestyfor competition among selected efficient volunteers, whose regiments have to pay for their entrance at the rate of El each. The " plabe "of representative at Wimbledon is given only after severe competitions, so that it may be considered that the men shooting for the Queen's are the best shots in England. There are two stages in this competition, the first at 200, 500, and GOO yards. 'The first man in this competition has a silver badge, a silver medal, and EGO, and is best Enfield shot; then each of the next 29 receives the badge of the association and £l5 in money, and to each of the second 30 the badge and £lO in money is given. 'These form the "sixty," and are entitled to shoot for the second stage, where the great prize of a gold medal, the sum of £2 50, and the honour of being regarded .as the champion shot of the country, await the highest. To each of the 00 highest after the first GO will be presented £3, thus making altogether 151 prizes, of the total value of £1,315. The St. George's is the next Volun teer prize of importance, the competitors being chosen in the same manner as those in the Queen's. The entrance fee is half that in the Queen's, and the prizes amount in the aggregate to £WO3, and in number to 61, including the first stage. The Prince of Wales's Prize of £lOO is com peted for by the winners •of county medals, and £lOO is idded by the association to be divided among the highest of the unsuccessful competitors. A new series of prizes has been instituted for the encouragement of non winners, and called the "Enfield Nursery" prizes. 'the competition is restricted to efficient volunteers wilt, have w m a prize at Wimbledon or any county meeting before this year. The entrance feels Gs., and the range is 500 yards. Mae are seventeen prizes, the highest I,eing £lO. The Belgian Challenge Cup, presented by the Jhasscurs Eclaireurs of. Brussels - and the Belgians who visited Wimbledon in IEGG; is competed for by squads of battalions in volley firing, and the association adds £75, the first squad having £3O, the second £2O, the third £l5, and the fourth £lO. The competition will be at 400 yards, with five shots each squad. The cup will be held by the commanding officer of the first squad. There arc other competitions added to the " Volunteer Prizes," but these are of a peculiar character, being " County Tens" for the China Cup, the Iri s h I n t ernat i onal T rop h y, an d the Oxford and Cambrid ge ma t c h . I n the f i rst i n th e " All Comers " series, is th e " Alb ert, " open to any r ifl e , with prizes amounting to £598, at entrance fees of £3 3s. There are to be Swiss carton prizes, both for Enfield and any rifles, the - entrance being Gd. a shot for the former and is. a shot for the latter. The prizes instituted out of the pocketS of the association for the army,(including the Royal Marines) have been extended to the navy. There are, besides, the usual stand of matches, as the " Lords and Commons," the " Public Schools," the " Dudley," the " Henry Peek." Reports are current in the chief cities of the United States that General Grant may before long deride to change' his CaLinet. The Radicals are much displeased with the constitution of the Ilinistry, and General Grant, it is said, must either cons( nt to change it er lcse their support. None of the Ministers have much political experience. THE "COLLEEN BAWN" MURDER. —A man named Scanlan, aged about 70 years, dropped dead on 31rshei Wednesday ely near the Wellesley Bridge, Limerick. Mr. J.P., vice-chairman of the board of guardians, was passing at the time in his vehicle, on his way to the woikhouse, and at once sent his servant for Dr. Phayre, the workhouse physician, to see the poor man, but, alas ! life was extinct. Scanlan's brother suffered the exteeme penalty of the law about fifty years ago in connection with the " Colleen Bawn" trial. Ile was in respectable cir cumstances, and went to the scaffold in his carriage. Strange to say, the horses refused to draw him up the old bridge, near the court house, and he very reluctantly was obliged to walk to the place of execution, in company with ;he clergyman who attended him.—Linterick Southern Chronicle. THE PUBLIC HEALTIL—The rate of mortality in London last week was 21 per 1 ; 000 in London, as compared with a rate of 24 in thirteen other large towns of the United Kingdom. Dublin is the healthiest, and Glasgow the most unhealthy, city on the list, the former with a death-rate of 20 per 1,000, and theJatter with a rate of 38. In the metropolis 2,012 births and 1,279 deaths tAtre registered. The latter were 130 less than the estimated number, and fell short by 142 of those recorded in the preceding week. The deaths from zymotic diseases were 272, the corrected average number being 317. Four persons died from small-pox, 24 from measles, 56 from scarlet fever, 6 frJin diphtheria, E 7 from whooping. cough, 18 from typhus fever, 16 from enteric fever, 8 from simple continued fever, and 10 from diarrhoea. Eight persons were killed by horses or vehicles in the streets. The mean temperature during the week was 51'2, or o'2 below the average.. ARCHBISHOP MANNING ON SCHISM.—A lecture was delivered on Tuesday night at Hanover-square Rooms, by Archbishop Manning, to the Young Men's CathoUc Asscciation, on "The History of Schism." There were present many of the leading Catholics of London, including several of the nubility. The Archbishop firstspoke of the schism of the Denalists in the fourth century, and stated its great extent and its decay. Then passing tot he Greek schism, he pointed out its Origin and p rogress, b oth in connection with Constantinople, and a'so in Russia. He said that the Greek schism had a very small number cf members under the bishop, who was called Patriarch, and that in Russia there .were a very l arge number of dis senters fri.kn the Established Church, of which the Emperor was head. He came next to the subject of the schism of the 16th century, by which England separated from Rome, and proceeded to argue that as soon as any nation separated itself from unity with the see of Rome it began to change also in its faith. The Archbishop entered then into a history of the changes in religious opinion in England during the last three centuries, chiefly dwelling on the growth of Nonconformity, in order to chew that the established religion of the State had considerably lost ground by the great increase in the number of Dissenters. Referring to the subject of what is called ccrporate reunion, the Archbishop said that he had put more trust in the enlightenment of the consciences of individuals. He said that as the first Christianity of England was Catholic, so would the last be, for that there was a Catholic feeling even amongst those who still_colitWred otitsidg th 2. Ciatholiakimb, . . THE MAY MEETINGS. THE HEBREW CHRISTIAN ALLIANCE. The annual meeting of the Hebrew Christian Alliance was interesting this year, on account of correspondence concerning the conversion of the Jews which has appeared in some newspapers. - The president was the Rev. C. Schwartz, D.l). Letters of apology for non-attendance were read from the Archbi s h o p of Canterbury, the Bi s hop of London, the Earl of Shaf teshury, K. G. , &c. The chairman, in addressing the meeting, said he could not refrain from alluding to the correspondence which has appeared with reference to the society, and characterised the letter of a vicar of the Church of England as a disgrace and a shame to the Church ; for, instead of each converted Jew costing, as heel been said, £lO,OOO, the society had, within the last twelve months, been the means of the conversion of more than seventy Jews. The secretary read the report, which states that the objects of the Alliance are-Ist, to promote the union of Hebrew Christians ; 2nd, to give testimony of the faith towards their unconverted Jewish brethren ; and, 3rd, to spread the Gospel by publishing- various books, and in giving temporal assistance to Jews. The report also corn inents upon the different undertakings for the past year, and expresses the thankfulness of the Alliance for the de liverance of the Abyssinian captives. Upon the motion of the Rev. W. L. Rosenthal, seconded by the Rev. J. J. Steintz, the report 'Vas ad. pled, with an expression of thankfulness to Almighty God for the success which has attended the society's efforts. The meeting was after wards addressed by the Revs. H. A. Stern, L. Herschel], G. W. Pierritz, and other gentlemen. TILE BAND or norE MON. The conferences of the Band of Hope Union, on Tues day, were closed by a large meeting held in Exeter Hall. The chairman was Mr. Lucas Shadwell, J.P., who was supported by Mr. Charle3 Reed, M.P., the Rev. Newman Eall, and others. A pleasing feature in the gathering was the attendance of between six and seven hundred members of metropolitan Bands of Hope, who rendered several 'sacred and temperance melodies. The Bev. G. IV. 111`Cree presented a condensed statement of the work done in 1£ 68, with total subscriptions less than 1760. The total receipts of the year amounted to £1,55.5 es. 2d., and there was a balance in hand of ,£165 3s. 7d., this.balance including the sum of £lO4 Is. 6d. to account of Prize" Tale Fund. Lectures had been delivered throughout the country, dissolving views exhibited, and bands organised in various districts. IRELAND. - aro-- --- The Daily iThcs publishes another letter from its special correspondent in Ireland. In it a visit to the house of the Dwyer's, who shot down Mr. Scully, is described. "At first (the writer says) I was suspected—and naturally so. Dwyer, the occupier, was absent at a neighbouring fair ; but there were two women —one a daughter—and a labeuring'man within. After a few sentences explaining I why I came, suspicion departed and courtesy took its place. ' The daughter chewed me over the rooms ; she pointed out' the marks of the bullets. The centre pane of the small window in front Las the mark of a shot in it, just as it was made. It went clean through, only slightly fracturing the pane. Lower down there is the impress of another shot ; but a bit of glass has been put over the hole. One of the chairs has a piece taken away by a bullet, and the internal wall opposite the attacking party has several indentures—some of them very large. The window, I am told, was riddled to pieces, but the glass has been replaced, with the exception of the two panes which I have spoken of. The wall outside has been recently whitewashed, but the bullet-marks are still dis tinct. To the right of the window the wall is literally pockfretted with shot marks. Mr. Scully and his eight assistants must have come well provided with ammunition. But whilst they were firing into the ground floor the occupants of the house were firing from the loop-holed loft with more deadly effect. The exact spot where Mr. Scully fell was pointed out to me, and as he lay wounded on the ground, I am informed, he fired some shots into the house. I observed that Mr. Scully's conduct was universally condemned, even by the landlords themselves, and was somewhat astounded by the answer,, Sure, sir, he only went by the law after all.' And I suppose you went by the "Lord.'" But the allu sion was only vaguely understood. ' I hope you will feel more secure,' I observed, now that you are under Mr. Moore.' God send it !' was the reply. The rent, I was told, of the land about here averages from £2 to £2 10s. an acre, but the recent addition to the police force would raise it another pound or more; and that, sir,' said another tenant on the land, 'is too much. We cannot afford it; we Might as well leave the country altogether. The police are not wanted now, and I think they are sent to punish and not to protect us.' This was regarded as a great grievance. This second tenant invited me into his Louse- -I suppose I must call it so—and desired his wife to fetch me a `basin of new milk, as I .must feel tired after my walk.' -I took some that I may have it 'to say I shared in Irish hospitality on the town land of Ballycohey. The railway to Cork and Queens. town passes by the farm, and I am told that there is not a train of emigrants to America from which the shout of Success to Ballycohey !' is not heard as it dashes along." The- Rail of Derby's grounds were seen also by the " special." " The houses on the estate are clean-looking and comfortable. I understand he gives every encourage ment to his tenants, in the way of buildings and drainage, but I have bad repeated to me on his own farms what I heard in the town of Tipperary -7-that he gives a decided and marked preference to Protestants and Englishmen over Roman Catholics and Irishmen. There may be no injustice in this, but it would not be made a subject of comment if it was not a source of irritation." CIVILIS'ATION IN CHINA. Sir Rutherford Alcock, the British Ambassador at Pekin, has addressed an important letter to Mr. Med burst, the British Consul at Shanghai. Sir Rutherford does not take a very hopeful view of the progress of modern ideas in China.. Mr. Medburst Lad sent him a despatch inviting him to press upon the Chinese Govern ment the uses and benefits of telegraphy. Sir Rutherford replies that there is no probability of such repre sentation producing any effect. "So far, the effect of all the arguments adduced, and the constant representations made, of the advantages to be derived from railroads and telegraphs, has not been such as to encourage any sanguine hopes of progress in this or any other direction." Our Ambassador states that there is no evidence whatever at Pekin of that desire for progress which the Chinese Embassy has assured Europe is so ardent and general with the Government of China. " If any hopes are built upon its existence, therefore, I fear there is nothing but disappointment in store for those who indulge in them. Projectors of telegraphic lines, rail roads, and other plans for the sudden development of the resources of this country are but losing their time, while the Government here skews no disposition to entertain their projects. I think it is in the interest of all who are so occupied, that they should know the truth, than be deluded by false hopes and expectations of changes which are still far in the distance. It seems to be forgotten that all treaties hitherto made with China have been such as were dictated by foreign Powers, and in accordance with their views rather than those of the other contracting party. The revision at present in contemplation will take place under totally different circumstances. Nothing new can find place therein, which is directly contrary to Chinese views of their interests in relation with foreign Powers. If the rulers of China . cannot be made to see the advantage to ihemselves and the nation, as well as the practicability and safely of inland steam navi gation, railroads, and telegraphic . , lines, or the working of mines, and residence of merchants in the inte- Tier with ex-territorial privileges attaching, it is very certain they will not yield to any force of argument and reason, or earnestness of friendly counsel:" " There remains," adds Sir Rutherford Alcock, " only coercion, and this agency neither the British nor the American Governments are likely to employ." This is certainly rather unexpected testimony after the constant assurances which have been made of the Chinese Government's desire for progress. A document has recently been published at Shanghai, purporting to contain the draft of important changes which the Chinese Government will advocate when the treaties with European Governments are revised. It stated that the Celestial Empire was about to throw off its old traditions, and enter upon a I:fe of progress and civilisation. All sorts of revolutionary changes are promised. But of course small hope of progress can be entertained after the letter cf Sir Rutherford Alcoek. VISIT OF COUNT BISMARCK'S SONS TO ALDER SHOT.—On Tuesday two of Count Bismarck's sons, who have only very recently arrived in England from Prussia, for the purpose of studying at Oxford University, visited the camp at Aldershot, and spent the greater part of the day in inspecting different parts of the camp. Instruc tions were issued to the troops, on the previous after nuon, from the Assistant Adjutant-General's Office, to assemble in the Long Valley, at 10.30 a.m., for the purpose of holding a review, under the command of Lieutenant. General the Hon. Sir James Yorke Scarlett, K.C.8., at which the visitors would have been present, but, in conse quence of the unfavourable state of the weather, it having rained continuously the whole morning, the order for the men to parade was countermanded.

LITERATURE. True Love. By Lady Di Beauclerk. One Vol. Pp. 270. Hurst and Blackett. Daughter of a Duke and sister of a Duke, th e Lady Di Beauclerk is already favourably known as an authoress by her sparkling maiden work descrir tive of " A Summer and 11 inter in Norway." ner ladyship now arpears before the world of readers in the characte r o f a nove li s t . " T ine Love " i s the title of the one- vo l ume d t a l e i n w hi c h s h e sets f or th her imaginings. A ccor di ng to Shakspere, die course of true love never did run smooth." V e Trite Love here described is, we:presutne, the excel ). lion proving the rule set forth in the familiar dicta° of the great Dramatist. For it—this True Love of Sydney Vere and Edith IVlnrray, the hero an' i heroine of the story—could hardly by any possi' bility run smoother. The narrative open' , o Idly enough, inside an omnibus in th e &roots of Nottingham. A drenching storm of raj° is falling. A poor factory girl, wretchedly ill clahl, is one of the chance passengers—the last corne r being a young man, who plunges into the vehicle ie breathless haste at the moment it is starting. These two are the most prominent characters introduced to cur notice in the book—the factory girl being Edith—the young man Sydney. Both of them have the world before them-- have their fortunes t° make, and with the poorest possible prospect of making it. Yet, before a very few months have run out, Sydney has come into a largeproperty, and th e poor factory girl, Edith, turns out to be the out,' daughter and heiress of a mining engineer, who 1,0 0 made a fortune of £3 . 0,000 or £40,000 in Mexico. They are, of course, happily married, when tbe, story has been brought to its conclusion—not , however, until a murder has been committed, 0 0 result of which has been that Sydney inherits front his aunt, Lady Yore, a considerable estite• There is a Rev.

The other persons intro' duced into the narrative form, altogether, a WI motley groupe, including among them, as they do, such people as Mrs. Nupkins, a low eating-house' , keeper ; Jemmy Shaw, an ir r ecl a i ma bl e d r unkard and blackguard, one who eventually becomes th e murderer of Lady Vera; that same fribblingt giggling, Lady Vere, a would-be leader of fashio n among the provincials ; her insignificant sister, 6 widow like herself, by name Mrs. Jones ; the latter doll of a daughter Dorothy, intended to be the lx" trothed of her cousin Sydney, but who in the CO I becomes the namby-pamby wife of the Ritualistic Mr. St. Clair ; Mrs. Shaw, Jem's putative aun t ; but in reality his mother—together with severa l other characters more or less insignificant. ' l ll°E° are the puppets dangled upon the thread of th e narrative in this play of marionnettes. Tue only iuci dent of anything like an exciting nature in the tal e is the murder already referred to. There are private theatricals, morning calls, sketching parties, an d other tame little doings related in the course of the twenty-one chapters into which the book is sub' divided. To xards the close of the story r' n eptiode carries Sydney for a while across tha Atlantic, but nothing whatever comes of 16 in his instance in the way of adventure. A fashion' able contemporary, we observe, has made a courtly - allusion to this tale of "'True Love," as told 1 Lady Di Beauclerk, as affording evidence that Wi t has not died out among the ladies of England sinc e the days of LAdy Mary 11''ortley Montague. r i b° compliment is SO outrageously extravagant is way that it simply recalls to our remembrance th e reply made by the Prince de Ligny, who had bee n trying unsuccessfully to make a piece of water in • d his grounds, when some one t o ld hi m t h ere 10 ,, been a man drowned iu it—" C'etait uu fla.tteur No—the book adds nothing whatever to Lady P' Beauclerk's literary reputation.
