BAROMETER-29.93. the indignation of which it is intended the meeting should be expressive, Sergeant PARRY declared in so many words —avowing, while he did so, that he was employing " the mildest and most temperate language"—absolutely, we say, avowed in so many words, that " he could only express his conviction that if the House of Lords, which was an obvious anomaly among the institutions of a free country, ventured to usurp any of the privileges of the House of Commons or of the people, the days of hereditary legislation were numbered." Now, whatever may be thought as to the temper or dis cretion of remarks like these, there cannot be an instant's doubt in the minds of any one amongst us that they are a sample of what Cousin JONATHAN calls in the Yankee vernacular—"pretty tall talking." There is certainly no chance whatever of any one mistaking the significance of indignation like this. There is no beating about the bush—no shilly shally in about a merely hinted wrathfulness—no dally ing with a simply implied wrong—no small talk in the shape of indignant circumlocution. Although Mr. BRIGHT spoke at considerable length after wards, and with all his accustomed energy, he said nothing stronger, nothing more directly to the pur puse than had been thus already intimated in those few words uttered by the Chairman at the very outset of the proceedings. As if to put the whole grievance complained of, how ever 'categorically before the meeting, there was moved and seconded before Mr. BRIGHT rose to address the assembly, the following important resolution, or, as we might more correctly call it, cluster of resolutions, viz.:—" That the Excise Tax on paper—au obstruction to literature and education, an impediment to commerce • and in • dustry, and a means of diminishing rather than increasing the revenue—has been repudiated by the House of Commons, at the suggestion of the Crown. That for the House of Lords to reject the bill for its repeal would be equivalent to the imposition, by its sole authority, of a tax neither demanded by the Crown nor granted by the Commons, whose undoubted right it has always been to be taxed only by themselves. That such a proceeding, being an act of usurpation, would be derogatory to the dignity of the Crown, subversive of the privileges of the House of Commons and of the rights of the people, and would tend to impair the authority of the House of Lords." Whereupon, prior to this reso lution being put from the chair (as it was even tually—and carried with acclamation)—the mem ber for Birmingham rose yesterday upon that platform in St, Martin's Hall, and there poured out in a burning flood of eloquence the vials of his indignation against the House of Lords in ge neral, and, in particular, against the leaders of her MAJESTY'S Opposition. Exclaiming, in fact, in regard to the latter—" Lord DERBY in one house, and Mr. DISRAELI in the other; men in power who have no principle !" Language this, by the way, that is not logic, that is not irony, that is not eloquence—that is the merest vulgarest bully ragging—the coarsest, vilest, rudest, oratorical bludgeoning. Such, however, is the tone habitually indulged in by some individuals who can never recognise principle in any one but themselves— who can never tolerate a difference of opinion in a free press without instantly denouncing that difference of opinion as the result of venality—who cannot even object to the bench of bishops without describing its occupants in terms nothing short of being absolutely disgraceful. Reverting, however, from the consideration of the tone peculiar to Mr. BRIGHT'S general indig nation to that which coloured last evening the whole current or rather cataract of his particular indignation, as directed against the opponents of the Paper Duty Repeal Act—let us say at once, speaking as among those avowedly in its favour —that we cannot conceive to ourselves how possibly Mr. BRIGHT could well have acted more unwisely in this matter, or with more glaring indiscretion. There is a very old adage—" the wisdom of many," as Lord JOHN has happily said, " and the wit of one" —which urgently advises every one to leave well alone. Pity it is that Mr. BRIGHT cannot bear this in remembrance, and prudently aet upon it ! Here is the Paper Duty Repeal Bill actually passed through the House of Commons. It has gone up to the House of Lords, and passed there, too, through the first pro forma reading. Why could not all that has been now so angrily said and written have been left to the conscience of the House of Lords, and to that likewise of the Earl of DERBY and the Earl of DERBY'S sup porters. There is no question at all about it, there can be no question—but that Mr. BRIGHT, in acting as he is acting, is doing everything he possibly can to goad and irritate Lord DERBY and the House of Lords into a resolute rejection of a measure, other wise tolerably certain to have been allowed to ripen, stage by stage, into a perfected enactment.

Another Indignation Meeting was holden last evening at St. Martin's Hall, Long-acre. This time, however, it was no flam—no eccentric adver tisement of a private wrong laid bare by a sort of half-brother of poor little Miss FLITE, a veritable living embodiment of that most deplorable of all individuals, the 'Man with a Grievance ! The Indignation Meeting of yesterday was in no way whatever upon some obscure and imaginary course of annoyance, upon some wholly insignificant mat ter affecting one man, and that man a mere Nobody. It was not in relation to a subject dragged in by the heels just apropos des bottes. It was a public meeting upon a very considerable theme of public, or rather, we should say, of even national impm tance—one in regard to which the indignation actually expressed was, to say the least of it, perfectly genuine and unaffected. It was a meeting convened expressly for the pur- Mr. ROEBUCK once said—it was said last year, and in reference to some remarks of Lord JOIIN MAN NERS, that we believe still and believed at the time were wholly misapprehended—that many of "the nicest men have the nastiest ideas." Lord HADDO'S objection last evening to female models at the Royal Academy has vividly recalled this observation of Mr. ROEBUCK'S to our remembrance. The noble lord confuses in his own mind the life-study room at the Academy with the Coal Hole Poses Plastiques. He conceives that "the exhibition in art of females wholly unclothed ought not to receive the sanction of a public grant of money to the schools in which such practice is adopted." It was happily remarked in answer to this objection by Mr. ADDERLEY that " the Noble Lord would fain apparently confine the study to drapery, as if the human form, encased in bustles and crinoline, was the highest study of art." The hon. member adding—" If that were so, Madame TUSSAUD'S would be nearer the noble lord's idea of high art than anything else." Lord PALMERSTON in a similar mood suggesting that he " should like his noble friend to be more precise, and to state to what extent the minimum of clothing was 'consistent with his notions of propriety, for there was a minimum as well as a maximum." Adding that" Without insist«• ing upon crinoline and the voluminous dress alluded to by the hon. member who had just spoken, it was quite clear that they might go to different parts of the world, and in some of the southern climates, or in certain districts of Africa, might find patterns of clothing which, though they would exempt the models from the anathema of the noble lord, would still leave them open to the charge of showing suffi ciently large portions of the human form to render institutions where they might be found ineligible ror the grants of public money." This is more than merely pleasant banter ; it is an argument that is perfectly logical—the ever caustic logic of the reducao ad absurdunz. Happily for the interest of high art the objection raised upon the prudish motion of Lord lIAnDo was overwhelmingly negatived by 147 against 32. Had a supervision like the one thus abortively suggested been carried into the atelliers of TITIAN and GEORGIONE, or earlier still into the grand old classic art-work-shops of PIIIDIAS and PRAXITILES---the world would have been without some of the greatest masterpieces of the pose of " protesting against the usurpation pro posed by Lords DERBY and MONTEAGLE to the House of Lords in the retention of the paper duty, independently of the House of Commons and the Crown." St. Martin's Hall, large as it is, was crowded to repletion. Mr. Sergeant. PARRY was the Chairman. There were as many as nine mem bers of the House of Commons upon the platform— foremost among them the ex-official Minister below the gangway, the member for Birmingham. Prior to the time appointed for the commence ment of the proceedings, sundry animated sand wiches paraded the chief thoroughfares of the me tropolis carrying about them rather incendiary or inflammatory placards thrusting upon Her MAJESTY'S lieges point blank one or other of these rather pungent inquiries—" Is the House of Lords to govern the finances of the people and the country ?" Or, again—" Is the House of Lords to deprive the Commons of its privileges ?" It was the readiest, and certainly the adroitest, way of getting the stream of popular indignation up at the shortest possible notice, by way of forwarding thus most effectually the views entertained by the chief promoters of this hastily improvised assem blage. And so far as the meeting itself was con cerned it was a contrivance that proved to all intents and purposes e mi nently successful. The hall, as we have said, was crowded. The platform had as its fitting occupants the nine .M.P.'s already spoken of collectively, but whose names it may be as well here at once to specify : those to wit of— Mr. Bright, M.P.; Mr. Hadfield, M.P.; Mr. Law son, M.P. ; Mr. Ingram, M.P. ; Mr. Leatham, M.P. ; Mr. Coningbam, M.P. ; Mr. Craufurd, M.P. ; \[r. Padmore, M.P. ; Mr. Pease, ALP. ; together with whom were associated among the selecter portion of the noJ~loc (significant enough), two eminent paper meaaufacturers. At once to lend point to the whole proceedings at last night's eeting, the Chairman, it is observable, put the matter point blank before his auditory at the very outset. Characteristically inaugurating p a inter's brush and the sculptor's chisel—the Tribune of Florence would not now enshrine the Venus de Medici, neither possibly (had these objections been carried but a little further in the ages of antiquity), would the galleries of the Vatican have now revealed to view the divine form of the Apollo Belvidere. We would suggest to Lord GREY to ask for a re ,urn which must be of great service to his Select Committee. He is inquiring into the numbers and quality of the electors, or rather of the proposed ad ditions to those who at present enjoy the suffrage. Obviously one of the best guides will be the con- duct of electors of the same general class as those whom it is proposed to enfranchise. Now, there is one class which stands out very clearly, and which is easily defines], we refer to the class of tenant farmers. There has also been considerable dispute as to their characters ; their landlords tell us that they are a growingly intelligent and **tide- pendent class of men. Politicians uncon nected with the landlord class say just the reverse. Indeed some of the lauded aristocracy ad mit the charge of political subserviency against the tenant farmers generally. Mr. H. BERKELEY, we all remember, described them as men who changed their votes with a change of land lords, who were in fact handed from the Whig to the Conservative candidate and vice versa, just as patiently as buck rabbits were transferred by their ears from hatch to hatch by their schoolboy pro prietors. We would suggest to Lord GREY that it must be worth while to settle this question. Large numbers of the proposed new voters in counties will be holders of small portions of land, under the same country gentry who are affirmed and denied to be the real proprietors of the votes of the present tenant electors. It is worth while to know, on au thority, whether or not they are likely to be serfs or independent voters. It is worth something, also, to have the evidence before us on the truth or falsehood of these charges against our country aristocracy. It may be only on gratuitous suspicion that they are charged with so influencing the votes of their tenants—that they all, as the rule, vote with their landlord, be he of what politics he may, and whether they themselves agree with him or not. Some county members, reviling with too good rea son the borough constituencies of Wakefield and Gloucester, have proclaimed that the counties are immaculate ; that no one ever heard of bribing in connection with county elections. To this the borough members reply—that bribery is unneces sary—that landlord intimidation most inexpen sively supplies its place ; and they retort upon the county members in the language of Lord MACAU LAY, and tell them that their bribery by intimida tion is meaner than the borough bribing by money. It is pocket-saving bribery—bribery in which the bribed is not even a willing voter; in which he has the intelligence to prefer another candidate, and to think him the better man for his country's in terests, but has to writhe under the dread of a penalty he dares not face. Now all this may be true or may be false, so far as any Parliamentary evidence on the subject goes. We have costly evidence of the reality and nature of borough bribery, and plenty of it; we have none on the authority of Parliament on the disputed question of landlord intimidation. We dare not venture to propose a Royal Com mission—such a commission can indemnify against the penalties of law, but it could not protect from landlord penalties, supposing always that the charge of intimidation is true. If we knew that any industrious and intelligent farmer had voted against his convictions, how could we have the cruelty to gibbet him before the landlords of the district, as the man who gave evidence that they had exercised a mean and despotic influence over his vote. Besides, how few could be compelled to say they were intimidated, though they really were so. They would invent mental justifications and reservations for stating that they had voted " freely and indifferently." Neither could any commission call for proof external to the man's own statement, that his politics did not accord with his votes. It would be cruel to the poor farmer, and to his friends alike, to endanger the former through the latter. Any means of investigation into the subject must be quite independent of the tenants, or even of the landlords' own statements. We see, then, no means of ascertaining the truth respecting alleged landlord intimidation and tenant subserviency, but the return we would now pro pose to Lord GREY. It should be a return com prising all contested county elections at the last general election ; and we should like it to extend backwards, as far as possible, to individual con tested county elections, and even to one or two more general elections. The particulars it should ask would be—Firstly, the names of the landlords, and the candidate for whom they had voted, or, if they had not voted, for whom they used open and legitimate influence, sich as expressing themselves favourable to his views, or authorising their stewards and agents to do so. Indeed, in the case of peers, it would be reasonable to distinguish them as commonly giving their votes or proxies in favour of Liberals or Conser vatives, as the case might be. Secondly, their innocence will be easily apparent. To Lord GREY it would be invaluable. It would furnish him with the character for electoral independence, of one of the largest classes of county electors. LATEST Reuter's office : feeling. morning. Ancona. of the names of the tenant voters on the register under each landlord; distinguishing in columns following, those who had voted for their landlord's candidate, those who had voted against him, and those who had abstained from voting. Thirdly, if, as we should recommend, several preceding elections were embraced, a column should indicate those cases in which an estate had passed into the hands of a proprietor of politics opposed to those of his predecessor, when it should be specially noted how many of the tenants had changed with with the landlord, and how many remained on the same political side as before. A return of this kind would present actual evi dence on the subject which could leave no doubt OR any mind. If it were found under the second head that the vast majority of the tenant farmers voted with their landlords—if the minority were like one under a French ballot, ludicrously small --and especially, if in the few cases of political changes on the part of the owner of the farm, the tenants were nearly all found to change also, then no one could deny that the identity of tenants' and landlords' votes, or politics, implied the con nection of cause and effect. The accusation would be made out against the class, without unpleasant attacks upon the individual ; and, legislation to con vert the farmers' votes into realities, or as the American said—to " enable them to do their own voting," would be shown to be imperative. The Ballot could be refused no longer. On the other hand, if it should appear that the votes in oppo!i- tion to the landlord were reasonably numerous, half the case,—the best half of it—for the ballot would be gone. Its greatest merit is as the pre vention of intimidation ; it would put a stop to that even more completely than to bribery ; let the landlords, therefore, insist on the kind of return we have described ; and, if they are falsely accused, THE] :SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 16, 1860. . - t - ---- Cardinal Viale died this morning.

The Barbiere was given last night for the first time this season, and was followed by a new ballet entitled Scintilla. The new ballet consists of three scenes, in two of which Mademoiselle Pocchini is the centre of attraction. The pantomime and the dancing of this lady exhibited the art she professes in its highest degree of perfection, and she was rapturously encored in a " pas" the execution of which for grace, agility, and piquant originality has not been equalled since the days when Carlotta Orisi and Esmeralda were the town talk. The new ballet has been got up with great splendour. Madame Alboni is to make her first appearance on Saturday, as Maffeo Orsini, in Lucrezia Borgia. ROYAL VISIT TO THE FLORAL HALL. Her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness the Prince Consort honoured the new Floral Hall adjoining the Royal Italian Opera-house, with a visit last evening. The Queen having signified her intention of being present at the performance of " Fra Diavolo" last night, arrange ments were made to enable her Majesty to enter the theatre through the Floral Hall—illuminated as upon the occasion of the late Volunteer Ball. The Royal party arrived about nine o'clock, and alighted at the Piazza entrance of the new building, where Mr. (dye was in attendance to receive her Majesty. The Queen, on entering, appeared much interested with the beautiful proportions of the hall, and, after promenading for several minutes, her Majesty expressed her unqualified admiration of the building, which, it was explained, was about to be opened as a vast metropolitan flower market. The Queen left the hall by the staircase leading to the crush room, and thence proceeded to the Royal box, where her Majesty, with the Prince Consort and the Princess Alice, remained until the close of the opera. The Duke of Beaufort is entertaining a large circle of his sporting friends at Bedminster during the race meeting at Bath. The Duke of Somerset, as first Lord of the Admiralty, will give a full dress banquet on Friday next, in celebration of her Majesty's birthday', to the heads of the several departments of the navy. The Duke and Duchess of Northumberland en tertained the Earl and Countess Amherst, Lord Redeedale and the Hon. Miss Mitford, and a select party at dinner last evening at Northumberland House. The Marquis and Marchioness of Westminster and Lady Theodora Grosvenor have arrived at Grosvenor House from Motcombe House, Dorset, for the seaspn. The Earl and Countess of Derby will be honoured by the company of their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary at dinner on the 25th instant. The noble earl and countess have cards out for dinner parties on the 18th and 23d inst. Lord and Lady Leconfield arrived yesterday at their residence in Grosvenor-place, from Petworth llouse, Sussex. THE FUNERAL OF SIR CHARLES BARRY.--We are requested to state that the funeral of the late Sir Charles Barry will take place at Norwood Cemetery on Friday next, at three pm. The procession will leave Clapham at half-past one. THE BRAZIL TRADE.—It has been determined that the next ship of the Anglo-Luso-Bracilian Royal Mail Steam Company shall sail from Liverpool, in com pliance with the request of many influential merchants in the Brazil trade, Milford Haven laving been found incon venient. THE DEANERY OF DERRY.—This deanery, says the Dublin Daily Express, will not be so valuable as it was, as the Lord Lieutenant has the power of severing the parishes of Glendermot and Faughanode from it, which would make it not worth more than £1,400. If this is done the present perpetual curates of these parishes become the incumbents. THE REGISTRY OF THE PROBATE COURT.—We are requested to state that owing to the provisions of statute 23 Victoria, cap. 15, sect. 4, a fresh form of affidavit for the Inland Revenue-office has been adopted in the Court of Probate, which it will henceforward be necessary to follow. The proposal for the Great Northern Palace Company having been temporarily withdrawn, a prospec tus was issued yesterday of the Muswell-hill Land Com pany for securing the estate which had been selected as the site for that undertaking. The proposed capital is £140,000 in £lO shares. The property consists of 457 acres within five miles from King's-cross, on the Great Northern line, and the purchase money is to be £135,000, of which £70,000 will be taken in shares. A deposit of £15,000 will accom pany the signing of the agreement, and the remaining £50,000 will be allowed to run on for three years at 5 per cent. interest, at the end of which time the company will have the option of declining to complete the purchase, and of receiving back the £15,000 deposit. It is eon templateg to let the land for villas, but 150 acres will be reserved for the intended palace. It appears that the number of vessels in China waters at the date of the last advises disengaged, exclusive of coasters, was of an aggregate tonnage of 16,000 tons, after deducting those lately engaged by Government as transports and stone ships at 21s. to 225. per register ton per month. The number of vessels on their way from Europe, America, India, ecc., was of an aggregate tonnage of 40,000 to 45,000 tons. MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT.--The market was ♦ery quiet yesterday, with a very limited amount of transactions. The tendency of prices was downwards, but the producers were well under contract ; therefore d• not, as a rule, listen to offers at very much reduced rates. The following is a return of the number of cotton laden ships reported at sea bound to Liverpool, with the amount of cotton on board:-77 ships from N ew O r l eans with 226,122 bales ; 18 ships from Mobile 58,177 bales ; 9 ships from savannah with 16,695 bales ; 8 ships from Apa lachicola with 10,791 bales; 12 ships from Charleston with 26,686 bales ; 5 ships front Galveston with 3,791 bales ; 1 ship from New York with 1,310 bales ; 28 s hip s f rom Bom bay with 73,819 bales—making a total of 158 ships, with 417,491 bales. The trade of the port of Liverpool continues in excess of 1859, the returns of the entries inwards and out. wards of vessels to foreign and colonial ports from the Ist January last being —Reportel inwards : 1860, 1,696 ships, 937,900 tons; 1859, 1,573 ships, 776,891 tons; increase in ships, 123 ; increase in tonnage, 211,009.

SUSPECTED MURDER IN STIOREDITCII.—Yester day morning the body of a female with marks of violence upon it was discovered in a house in Phillip-street, Shore ditch. It is suspected that death has been caused by the hand of her paramour. PLYMOUTH, TUESDAY MORNING.—The iron screw steam storeship Himalaya, Captain John Seccomb, from Barbadoes, April 17, and Bermuda, May 3, bound to Portsmouth, with eight companies of the 41st Regiment, under command of Major Bush, and ten companies of the 49th, commanded by Colonel Grant, put into the Sound this morning, with screw deranged. CHARLESTON CONVENTION—HOW THEY MANAG E THINGS IN THE STATES.—The greatest excitement prevails in the city—angry discussions everywhere. At the dinner table to-day afracas took place between two members of the Ohio delegation at the Mills House. They threw plates at each other, then one drew a pistol and the other clinched, when they wero separated by friends. Tho quarrel was about Mr. Douglas. Last night Colonel Craig, member of Congress from Missouri, and a newspaper reporter fromthat state, had a rough and tumble fight at the Mills House, which they are to settle in another fashion when they go home. To-night, about 11 o'clock, Captain Levy and a gentleman named White had an altercation in the bar room, which resulted in the explosion of a pistol in the pocket of Levy, fortunately without injury to him. A duel is on the tap's. THE IRISH PAPAL TRTBuTE.—Although some what late in the field, Archbishop M'Hale seems resolved to make amends for past dilatoriness by a vigorous use of the spiritual spurs upon the consciences of the faithful in the diocess of Tuam. Two preliminary meetings have been held to make arrangements for the collection which is to be made on Pentecost Sunday. At the last of these meetings Dr. M'Hale opened the list with his own sub ,cription of 100 guineas. "This grand and glorious ex ample," says his Dublin organ, "was infectious, and was followed by a running fire of donations, ranging from 2s. to £l." In every part of the diocess the enthusiasm is intense, and, although people may talk of the existence of starvation in the West, it is gratifying to learn, on com petent authority, "that this magnificent commencement of the movement practically and unmistakably proves that the collection for his Holiness will be worthy alike of our illustrious Archbishop, his clergy, and his people." DISTRESSING CASE.—The inhabitants of Edin burgh have within these few days heard with painful sur prise that Hector Mackay, son of the late Mr. Charles Mackay, of the Theatre Royal, Edinburgh, has been tried in Canada on a charge of knurder, and being found guilty by the jury, has been condemned to be executed on the 7th of June next. From the few particulars which have reached us, it appears that Hector - Mackay held the office of a constable, and having been ordered by a magistrate to pursue and secure a fugitive from justice, a struggle en sued, in wh eh, as it would seem, for self-defence, Mackay drew his pistol and shot his antagonist. Supposing this to be the nature of the case, ono cannot understand how the act could be construed into the crime of murder; for there was obviously neither premeditation nor malice prepense to invest it with this serious character. At all events, the unhappy young man, as we understand, lies in prison at Perth, Canada West, waiting the dread execution of the law. The intelligence of the circumstance has given the greatest possible pain to all who remember the many ex cellent and venial qualities of the late Mr. Mackay, who may be said to have gained a world-wide celebrity by his personation of the immortal Bailie Nicol Jarvie, of Sir Walter Scott. Moved by every good feeling, a humble and respectful petition to Sir E. W. Head, Governor-General of Canada, has been signed by a large number of our leading citizens, headed by the Lord Provost, praying that his ex cellency will take the case of the unfortunate Hector Mackay into his merciful consideration, and commute or remit his sentenco. The petition left by the mail on Satur day, and wo earnestly trust that its prayer may be success ful, at least so far as commuting the capital punishment.— Ayeobinan. MARSALA. Marsala, where Garibaldi has landed, is a port of Sicily, situated about 95 miles from Palermo. It be longs to the province of Trapani, which extends, as well as the province of Palermo and that of Messina, along the north coast of the island. Marsala carries on a large business in the wine which bears its name; it also deals in corn, fruit, cotton, and salt The population is about 20,000. It possesses a number of foreign commercial houses, the most important of which are English. It was a flourishing place under the Romans, and its prosperity was maintained until the close of the 15th century. In 1532 the port was filled ip by order of Charles V. to prevent the fleets of SJliman 11. from getting possession of it. It has , naver completely recovered from that disaster, and vessels of large tonnage can't enter. The attack on Marsala indicates the plan conceived by Garibaldi. He carries the struggle on the north coast of the island, where all the strong places are situated, and approaches those positions, which, if seized on by him, will give decisive results. On the other hand, the Neapolitan army appears to be prepared for an energetic defence. It had received information of the attack, and a good road had been formed to unite the towns on the coast, so that the concentra tion of troops might be readily and promptly effected. FRANCE. PARIS, MAY 15. The rumour that the Emperor was to have an in - .erview with the Prince Regent of Prussia towards the end of this month does not appear to rest on any good authority. Three or four persons have been sent to England within the last few days to buy for the Sardinian Government a supply of horses for the army. It is said the French Government is also buying. The Grand Duke Nicholas will remain in Paris wily 48 hours. The Count of Montmolin and his brother, who probably have arrived by this, will make no stay, but proceed forthwith to England.

It is as refreshing as " sunshine in a shady place" to come upon a love-story in blank verse, in this noble but arid and noisy age of ours, which, if it is essentially anything, is beyond all manner of doubt or contradiction essentially utilitarian, If we remember rightly, the last time we listened to the voice of Charles Mackay, as a song-writer, he sang to us, as poet should, " Under Green Leaves." Since then his path has trended in the direction of that huge, busy, worldly republic on the other side of the Atlantic, where one of our later humourists has declared that he always pictured to himself the people of the U-nited States bowing to us across a long counter, extending due north and south, along the whole range of their seaboard. From this transatlantic voyagin g Dr Mackay brought back with him two pleasant volumes of prose, in which he afforded all the "Gentlemen of England who stay at home at ease," some delightful glimpses of " Life and Liberty in America." Scarcely have those two ♦olumes run into their second edition, when the author of " Egeria," and of we don't know how many more volumes of melodious poetry, vindicates anew his right to the title of a true songster, not of your mere verse-maker, of which there are many, but of apoeta naseitur, of which there are but few. Charles Mackay's rank and position as a song-writer —as one of those potent ballad-makers of the people that Fletcher of Saltoun sighed to be—have certainly not now-a-days to be indicated. He has long since taken each—the rank and the position are now both of them assured to him, and are widely recognised. As Longfellow's " Excelsior" has sounded like a clarion of encouragement far and wide through this genera tion, so also have many of the inspiriting ditties of Mackay reverberated through the hearts- of the million either as incentives or as consolations. Many stanzas that he first syllabled have long ago come to be " familiar in our mouths as household word"—part and parcel of our everyday vernacular. There are lines of his—there are whole songs of his, that have become at last so hackneyed as to be almost unquot able. " The Good Time Coming," for example, with its refrain of "Wait a Little Longer." Thousands of emigrants have gone forth from the Old 'World to the New heartened by his " Cheer, Boys, Cheer" —to the sound of which choral song, too, regiments have marched to battle in the Crimea and in Hin dostan. Enough, however, in these few words in regard to Dr. Mackay's past metrical achievements. What we have now briefly to do with, more parti cularly, is this, the latest of his now numerous con tributions to our poetic literature. A Man's Heart is sung in it—and sings. The poem is written, as we have said, in blank verse, and is a love story. The love story, itself simple enough and easily told, not in any way intricate or ela borated. A tale so simple in itself that one might speak of it as one reads in the immortal CAROL, of that old familiar tune played by Scrooge's neice upon a famous Christmas evening—" a simple little air—a mere nothing : you might learn to whistle it in two minutes." So here of the love story related in " A Man's Heart," it is the old, old story— a story as old as . Life itself or Death--and yet one, old and familiar though it is, that ever somas home freshly to A Man's Heart or to a woman's either, and is always welcome there to the ♦ery last. We are not going to enumerate here in heartless prose the incidents of this little love story sung as it is for any one's listening to, in the fluent and harmonious blank verse of Dr. Mackay. It will be sufficient to mention merely that the tale of Love like that of Life has " seven stages"—de picted here in as many cantos. That here too love opens as life does (in childhood) " Among the Flowers." That the love passes on as the life does (in youth) " Under the Trees." That in the third canto it is borne " Far Away"—in the fourth is plunged into " Sorrow"—in the fifth rises into "Hope"--in the Sixth higher, into " Happiness"— in the seventh, and last, soaring away etherialized and beatified (through death) into " Love Eternal." Whether Dr. Mackay meant the allegory or not as here indicated—it is there—in this volume of his sonorous and richly modulated blank verse recount ing the loves and griefs, the lives and deaths, of Arthur Westwood and—Edith Bellenden ! We have hesitated thus, or rather loitered over the utterance of the name of Dr. Mackay's poetic heroine because it comes to us distinctly, (but we believe quite inadvertently) as the echo of the very name of Sir Walter's heroine of romance in " Old Mortality." Inadvertently though the name is here echoed, the readers of " A Man's Heart" will only have reason to thank Dr. Mackay henceforth for the additional charms he has thrown over the now doubly wel come and familiar grace of Edith Bellenden. Turning, however, from the plot of this little love story and its leading charaoters to the mere manner in which the former is related and the latter celebrated, let us say at once in a few words that Dr. Mackay's blank verse is singularly varied in the rhythmic alternations of its harmonious flow. Occasionally, perhaps, there appears to a fastidious ear too great a partiality for what ought to be indulged in but seldom in metrical compositions, what might be termed in so many syl lables an ellipsis of articulation. It is by an admitted poetic license, however, that this ellipsis is allowable in prosody. It is only when indulged in overmuch that it can at all be objected to as in any way reprehensible. Here, however, is a delicious morsel from the second canto of this charm ing love poem, a fragment presented by us to our readers by way of appetising quotation. A glimpse has just been caught of the levers in early youth in all the freshness of their sweet pure love " Under the Trees"—when their celebrant breaks forth into the ejaculation : " Dream on, poor children I—dream, and never wake I In all your raptures —come they thick as flowers That April tosses to the lap of May, You'll never find a rapture like to this I Dream on, poor children I dream, and fear to wake — When sorrow looms, the memory of this hour Shall shine like Hesper through the gathering dark, And you shall say--' Once in the days of youth We had a vision and a glimpse of Heaven I Once in the morning of our cloudy day There gushed upon us overpowering joy, Keen as rao lightning flash, and lost as soon Lot us be grateful—we have lived and loved, Tasted ambrosia, feasted with the gods I Was it a dream ?—What more is Cresar's throne, Or groat Napoleon's, when the end is come?— Was it a dream ?—Could we such dream renew, And brush away from our enchanted land h o dust and cobwebs of reality, We'd sleep once more, and never ask to wake.' " There are separate lines, too, in the poem that cling to our remembrance—as that one depicting the smile of Arthur's father— " The silvery radiance of a mind at ease." The " very age and body of the time," also, are casually reflected here and there from the page of Dr. Mackay—as where, with an eye askance (one might fancy it), now to the Rifle Corps movement, now (almost—one could oddly conjecture) to the struggle for the championship, we read— " The ancient land's astir with noble life, And all the great athlette of the time, Gird on their armour." Exquisite, surely, in its every touch, is thi s inciden tal sketch of an Exquisite, as humorously limned as any one of the adroitest pencillings by Leech— " And a smooth cousin of the Earl deceased, A captain in the Guards, with whiskers huge, Who could not speak without a burst of slang, And smoked from morn's first dawn till evening's close, And seemed to have no aim or end of life But to consume tobacco—thought one day, Between two whiffs—while shaving—that he'd make Great sacrifice, and give himself away. That Edith would accept him, could he doubt ? But she refused him, and he answered Haw r And smoked no longer for a round half•hour. And then recovering consciousness and peace, He smoked again as briskly as before, And thought, betwixt two other long-drawn whiffs, What an escape he'd h a d from slavery To apron-strings ; and then said ' Haw I' again, Half vexed, half satisfied, and sore perplexed ; But still in confidence to his sweet self." Immediately before this we have read of Edith in her musings about her erstwhile lover (Arthur) in the cottage of the Westwoods " Here she often went And sat upon the chairs where he had sat, And saw his name inscribed upon the wall, Entwined in hers, with true-love knots between. From the same window out of which he'd gazed Upon the lovely landscape spread below She looked, and found a pleasure in the sight. And when the blackbird in the hawthorn grove Sang joyous, said she to herself, That song Pleased him in other days, and pleases me.' Amid the ivy clustering to the roof Darted the swallows ; he had watched their flight In melancholy noons, and so would she. To the green sward beneath the window-sill A frequent visitor, for charity, Came the bold robin; and she gave the dole To the blithe beggar with the glittering eye, Because he gave it—steward of his alms. She trimmed the rose-trees in the garden-walk, Because he trimmed them in the happy days When he believed in her, and in himself. She nurtured sorrow by a thousand arts, And fed it with a thousand sympathies, And was repaid, beca use sh e th oug h t of him." It is a tender, graceful record of most tender and most graceful recollections. One of the two dainty songs given by Charles Mackay to the sound of his familiar lyre—in two momentary pauses in the organ-chaunt of his blank verse—we must give by way of a concluding quotation. And it is the daintier of the two (to our mind) that we have selected, Edith's companion Rose being the singer : How could I tell that death was there ? I shot mine arrow in the air, And knew not of the bonnie bird Singing aloft, unseen, unheard, Oh, idle aim Oh, sorrow and shame ! 0 a'rrow, that did my heart the wrong ! It slew the bird, it hushed the song How could I tell its fatal power ? I breathed a word in Beauty's Bower, And knew not, most unhappy boy, What charm was in it to destroy; Oh, idle breath I Oh, shaft of death ! Oh, fatal word which I deplore, It slew my peace for evermore It is a little plaintive lore song—this—deserving the fate doubtless destined for it, that of being sung by many a fair songstress (besides Dr. Mackay's " Rose in the rose-bud garden of girls") to the harmonising chords of a piano accompaniment. The book itself, too, from which it is our latest extract, will also doubtless in its turn (happy destiny for a poet's volume) be not unfrequently a gage d'amour from lover to lover, in token, of course, that A Man's Heart has within it mucatent music, among its fibrous labyrinths many heart-strings trembling to the touch melodiously. THE AUSIRALIAN 3IAIL SERVICE. A great change is about to take place in the Australian mail service. The directors of the Penin sular and Oriental Steam Company, finding, 'after thirteen months' experience of their contract, that it entails a considerable loss, have definitively de cided upon throwing it up, and have already inti mated this decision to Government. The present subsidy is £lBO,OOO (of which onelalf is payable by the colonies, and the other half by the Imperial Government), and the company' s exper i ence leads to a belief that the amount ought to be raised to £250,000, in order to afford them any margin of profit. Before the matter arrived at its present stage, it may be useful to remind our readers, the company submitted a proposal to Government that, in consideration of an addition of £25,000 being made to the present subsidy (whereby the total would be raised to £205,000), and of the service being limited to between Australia and Point de Galle, instead of between Australia and Suez, they would establish a fortnightly service each way, in stead of a monthly one, as hitherto. The colonies have not responded cordially to this offer, New South Wales especially interposing obstructions, through her desire to see the Panama route established. The Imperial Government, in the absence of encouragement from the colonies, have accordingly declined the responsibility of recommending to Parliament any addition to the existing estimate for the service. But being impressed with a sense of the inconvenience which would be inflicted upon mer cantile and other interests of great importance by a suspension of the mail communication with the Australian colonies, Government have applied to the company to know if they have any alternative plan to propose. The directors, in reply, have sub mitted an alternative plan, which will at once re lieve them from the certainty of further loss, pro vide for the efficient maintenance of the postal ser vice, and at the same time allow of a considerable saving in its cost. They offer to maintain a monthly service between Melbourne (only) and Point de Galle (Ceylon), in connexion with one of the bi-monthly lines of postal steamers which now convey the India and China mails. At Point de Galle the Australian mails will be transferred to the Indian steamers. The only port between Melbourne and Point de Galle at which the Australian packets will touch will be King George's Sound, for coaling purposes. This service the company offer to perform for £120,000 a-year, being £60,000 less than the sum at present provided for. The £120,000 will be payable in equal moieties by thelmperial Govern ment and the colonies ; and the Government of Victoria have already consented to guarantee the £60,000 on that side, taking their chance of being recouped in d ue p roport i on b y t h e other colonies of the Australian group. It is pointed out that the regularity of the transit between Australia —viewed as a whole—and the mother country will be promoted by the new arrangement. The inter colonial postal service between Sydney and Mel bourne, and between Adelaide and the other colo nies and Melbourne, must be provided for by the colonies themselves, and if the people of New South Wales demur to this arrangement, it is obvious that they have the remedy in their own hands by ac tively carrying out th e i r favourite project of estab lishing a new and independent postal route via Panama. There will, of course, be loud complaints on the part of the other colonies, which will be placed relatively in a less advantageous position than Victoria, but Victoria is willing to pay for her privileges, and so other colony appears to be in clined to do so. It is manifest that the company cannot be compelled to carry on the contract at a heavy loss. It is intended that the new arrange ment shall come into operation with the mail leav ing Australia on the 22d of July, and with the mail leaving England on the 20th-26th of June. To make this clearer, it may be explained that the June mail via Southampton will leave England on the 20th, instead of the 12th, and the outward mail via Marseilles will go on the 26th instead of the 20th. Instructions to this effect will be sent out to the company's agents in Australia by the mail of the 18th inst.—Daily News. TRIS DAYS MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Both from Essex and Kent only a limited supply of wheat was on offer in to-day's market. The attendance of buyers was very moderate; nevertheless, both red and whits qualities changed hands somewhat steadily at Monday's currencies. The demand for foreign wheat was by no means active. Importers, however, were very firm, and extreme rates were realised in every instance. Floating cargoes were a dull sale. For barley the inquiry was much less active ; neverthe less, the quotations were supported. The malt trade was tolerably healthy at previous rates. We have to report a good consumptive demand for oats at fully Monday's improvement in prices. Both beans and peas commanded extreme quotations, and flour was steady in Plies. ARRIVALS TIIIS WEEK.
