FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1858. This day will inaugurate the QUEEN'S govern ment of India. On the Ist instant the authority of the Company for ever terminated. It had a won derful career, and established a mighty empire from a very small commencement. But its mision had been fully performed, and it had proved a serious impediment to Indian progress. The delays inci dental to the double machinery produced very in jurious results, and it was essential that a more suitable mode of administration should be instituted. This has been effected by the transfor of all power to a Secretary of State for India, assisted by a Council, partly nominated and partly elected by the directors from among themselves. There can be no doubt that the-selection by the Government and the directors has been very judicious, and that the Council is well qualified to tender prudent advice on all questions that may arisa. The following is a complete list of the new Council, together with the departments to which their attention will be particularly directed. It is as follows : Bengal Civil Service 31ANGLES. Madras Civil Service Bombay Civil Service Bengal Army Sir P. CAUTLEY. Madras Army Bombay Arniy The Punjaub Sir J. LAWRENCE. The Affghan Frontier and Persia Sir H. RAWLINSON Native States Sir F. CURRIE. 1 Sir J. HOGG. ( Mr. McNAGIITEN Shipping Interests Finance Indian Commerce ___ Public Works Sir P. CaIiTLEY The first meeting will be held at the India House, at two o'clock this day. Indeed, the mem bers of Council will have already begun their labours before the appearance of our impression. The mails from Calcutta and Bombay, whic:i have just arrived, bring cheering intelligence, so that they will commence their important duties under the most auspicious auguries. Our troops in India are enjoying a comparative holiday, and taking the rest which they so greatly required, and so well merited. Indeed, the state of the weather prohibited active operations ; but fortunately not before the last stronghold of the rebels had been captured, and their squadrons dispersed. They now see the terrible error into which they permitted themselves to fall. All hope of ultimate success has departed. They are now merely gangs of spiritless and despairing brigands, knowing that the atrocious crimes of which they were guilty had excluded every hope of mercy; that they are oietlaws fighting with ropes about their necks, and never daring to resist an attack, however great the numerical ad vantage on their side. They still loot and plunder whenever or wherever they get a chance to do so, and would still commit any atrocities in the way of murder or violation. But they cannot find many opportunities, and are dragging on a precarious and miserable existence. They are well aware that the return of favorable weather must prove fatal to themselves, and tL.ey are now doing all the mischief they can ; but still without rendering themselves formidable in a mill- tary point of view. Most of the chiefs who have not hitherto com promised themselves are now anxious to conciliate the stronger party. They see a prospect of safety, or even reward, according to their former conduct, and are not slow to avail themselves thereof. Indeed they would have to submit to great extortion if they acted otherwise ; for the predatory bands now traversing the country have no legiti mate means of livelihood, and if they cannot find Europeans to plunder they must de spoil their own countrymen, and they find a ready excuse in alleging that they are not Acting with them, but are favourable to the British interest. With their co-operation there can be littlo doubt that the rebellion will, ere many months have elapsed, be finally and completely suppressed ; and even the guerilla bands dispersed throughout the / country. In China the state of affairs is very anomalous. We have concluded a treaty with the Im perial Government, but still hostilities are waged at Canton in the name of the Ce lestial EMPEROR. Surely such proceedings must be brought to a speedy termination. The EMPEROR is bound to compel the obedience of his unruly subjects, and he will do so if sincere in his professions. If not, we may readily believe that he is merely striving to procrastinate, and has no real intention of carrying out the provisions of the treaty which has been forced on him, and which he is prepared to evade or violate on the first favourable opportunity. There is no part of the monetary code to which the attention of currency reformers should be more closely directed than that relating to the issue department. A really National Bank is urgently required. The regulation of the circula ting medium of the country should not be entrusted to the directors of a private corporation, seeking to earn the largest amount of profits for itself, and whose interests are therefore antagonistic to those of the community at large. The Bank is merely the agent of the Government, so far as tht , issue of legal tender notes is concerned. The security it gives to the holders is simply that of a certain portion of the State debt, while a really National Bank could give all W. • tl s .; ' \ •* -ANIL : ;,• 4T ' Law the resources of the Empire as a security. There could not by any possibility be a failure, so long as England retained its power, or consols could find purchasers at any price in the market. The con stant demand for rates and taxes requiring more than £200,000 per diem, would alone give validity to paper which could liquidate such incessant and pressing demands. There could be no necessity for " convertibility " in respect thereto, but even if it were insisted on, in deference to the prejudices of the bullionists, the transfer of the issue department of the Bank to a Government-office would be attended with the greatest benefit to the people and the Govern ment. There could be no objection to the Government notes being issued of small and convenient deno minations—say £l, £2, and £3—together with fractional sums, as in Ireland. The effect of this would be greatly to economise the use of both gold and silver bullion, and to al low the accumulation of large amounts thereof in the Government stores, so that there would always be ample funds on hand to meet any de mands that might be made, and to prevent the depreciation of the notes in any possible manner. A strong prejudice unquestionably prevails against the use of £1 notes, which saved the Bank in 1825, and would be willingly received at present ; but really there can be no greater objection to their use than to those of £5 and upwards. And if we take the amount of sovereigns in the hands of the public at £45,000,000—by no means an extravagant estimate—and allow, according to the usual custom of bankers, a bullion reserve of one-third of the amount, there would at once be £30,000,000 of gold " liberated from unproductive use, and rendered available for the purchase of food and raw materials for the employment of our population, and for all th e purposes' to which such an increase of capital could be applied." The mere pecu niary saving in the way of interest and wear and tear, at the low rate of 4 per cent., would be £1,200,000, a very appre ciable item in the new Budget ; but still a mere trifle in comparison to the advantages that would arise from an equable supply of currency, and the cessation of the " fluctuations" that have created more evils than the failure of all the banks of issue that ever suspended payment. Hitherto w•e have only been enabled to carry on by the vast amounts received from California and Australia. But for them the Act of 1844 would long since have b een swept away. But why should we relinquish a.ll the benefits that otherwise would be obtained therefrom, to enable the currency quacks to retain their crotchets, and point with triumph to the misery and suffering of the great body of the people, which, however, puts money in their purses, and enables them to live in luxury at the expense of the industrial community ? COMPLETION OF THE COUNCIL OF INDIA. We believe we may state that the four vacant seats in the Council of India have now been filled up, and by men whose appointment will be hailed without a dissentient voice. One is held at the dis posal of Sir John Lawrence, and the other three are allotted to Sir Proby Cautley, Sir Henry Mont gomery, and Mr. William Arbuthnot. The first of these three gentlemen, the most distinguished officer of the Bengal Artillery, and constructor of the Ganges Canal, represents the Bengal army, and also the department of Public Works ; the second, the Madras Civil Service ; and the third, twenty years in the Madras Civil Service, and then a mem ber of the leading commercial house at that Presi dency, Indian commerce. It will be seen, there fore, that all the important interests are now worthily represented in the new Council. Thus----- .

Certainly, if there is any interest which requires a plurality of representatives, it is that of the princes of India, which has hitherto been the worst treated and most neglected of all. But we abstain from ill omens, and trust that with the new council all things will be new.—Homeward 2lail. COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, SEPT. 2 The Queen held a Privy Council this day at Osborne, which was attended byhis Royal Highness the Prince Con sort, the Marquis of Salisbury, K.G., the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Hardwicke, Mr. Secretary Walpole, Sir E. Bulwer Lytton, Major-General Peel, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord Stanley, the Right Hon. J. W. Henley, the Marquis of Exeter, K.G., Earl de la Warr, and the Duke of Beaufort. At the Council Parliament was ordered to be further prortlgued from the 19th of October to Thursday, the 18th of NoveZ`'lber• Lord Staley was sworn in Secretary of State for India. The new Seb.ls of Office for the Secretary of State for India were approves - I by the Queen in Council. Mr. C. Greville was the Clerk of the Council in Waiting. Her Majesty and the . P.rinee Consort drove out yesterday afternoon. The dinner party in the evening included his Serene Highness Prince Leiningen anci Lady C. Barrington. The Marquis of Salisbury, Lord Chelmsford, the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, Lord Stanley, General Peel, Mr. tecretary Walpole, the Right Hon. J. W. Henley, Earl De La Warr, and the Duke of Beaufort, with Mr. Greville, the Clerk of the Council, left the Waterloo station of the South-Western Railway at a quarter past 9 o'clock yester day morning, and proceeded by special train to Gosport on their way to attend the Privy Council at Osborne. The Ministers crossed from Gosport in the Fire Queen, and reached Osborne about 1 o'clock. The. Earl of Hardwicke, Sir E. Bulwer Lytton, and the Marquis of Exeter joined their colleagues at the Isle of Wight. _ _ _ After the Council the same Ministers who left town, with the exceptions of the Marquis of Salisbury and General Peel, returned to London by special train, leaving Gosport about 5 o'clock and arriving in town about half-past 7. Upon the evening of the 29th of August the town of Cologne, with its magnificent Cathedral, was beautifully illuminated in honour of the visit of Her Majesty the Queen to that City. This compliment, which was carried out with the greatest taste and splendour, was the spontaneous act of the inhabitants.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 3, 1858. LATEST NEWS. THE BOMBAY MAIL. We have received by the Overland Express, in anticipation of the Bombay Mail, our letters and papers from Bombay, dated the 4th of August. The following is the summary of the Bombay Times:— The rebel fugitives of Gwalior, after plundering Tonk, entered the Boondee territory, closely fol lowed by Colonel Holmes's brigade. General Roberts, with the force from Nusseerabad, was still at Tonk on the 19th July. Behar is in a more tranquil state than formerly, but the rebels occupied Shahabad in great force, ravaging the province with impunity. Captain Rattray, however, had succeeded in killing several of the rebel leaders, who had made themselves con spicuous by their attacks upon the vilages. On the sth July he defeated Judder Sing's force at Kusma, killing a great number. Sir Hope Grant left Lucknow on the 21st July, with a strong force, to relieve Maun Sing, and oc cupy Fyzabad. A small body of troops from Allahabad, under Colonel Berkley, which had moved across the Ganges, had succeeded in capturing several of the enemy's strongholds. A fort near Simon, occu pied by 700 rebels, was carried, and all the garri son put to the sword. Sir Hugh Rose has resumed command of the Poonah division, and was on the 3rd August sumptuously entertained by the Byculla Club. The gallant general appears in excellent health and spirits. The Governor-General is still at Allahabad, but it is said contemplates a visit to Lucknow. An act had been passed in the Legislative Council extend ing the period of the Governor-General's absence in the North-West Provinces for six months longer. Lady Canning had left Calcutta to join her husband at Allahabad. Lord Harris, Governor of Madras, arrived at the Neilgherries on the 16th July. Sir Patrick Grant still remained at Ootacamund. Lord Elphinstone and Sir Henry Somerset are both at Poona, where they will stay till the end of the monsoon. The forgery of the Oude amnesty affords a fair indication of the lengths to which the party opposed to Lord Canning in this country is prepared to carry its hostility. The pseudo-proclamation ap peared in the first columns , of the Bombay Gazette, and was so perfect an imitation of Lord Canning's former manifesto that his friends and enemies alike supposed it genuine. We seem to have stood all but alone in believing it spurious, when the follow ing letter from the. Secretary to the Government of India was received by the Calcutta press, and set the matter at rest : No. 1644 From Cecil Beadon, Esq., Secretary to the Government of India, to the editor of the Phooenix.—Dated the 16th July, 1858. (Home Department.) am directed by the President in Council to state that the proclamation purporting to have been issued by the Governor-General, which was published in the _Plicenix of Monday last, the 12th inst., and is there said to be taken from the Bombay Gazette, is a pure invention, without any foundation whatever.—l have the honour to be, sir, your most obedient servant, CECIL BEADON, Secretary to the Government of India. Council Chahther, the IGth July, 1858. The Bombay Gazette has not yet seen fit to re veal the authority on which this circumstantial, and apparently malicious story was palmed upon it, but it is certainly due to the character of the Indian press to make it known. The last ad vices from the province are dated Lucknow, 21st July, and inform us that the policy of con ciliation pursued by Mr. Montgomery was slowly but surely detaching the Talookdars from the rebel side, and that the cause itself will collapse, as soon as we are able to afford efficient protection to those who openly declare for us. We are disposed to yield full credence to this as surance. At present we are not in circumstances to afford them protection, and we can hardly expect —until our influence is dominant in the province, —that these men will expose themselves to the re sentment of the rebel leaders. The Begum is now besieging Maun Sing in the neighbourhood of Fyzabad, for his supposed leaning to our cause, and has offered a reward for his head ; and until the powerful rebel forces which now hold the country to the north, east, and south of the capital, are confronted by our armies, the Talookdars will content themselves by mere protestations of their desire to return to loyalty when they can do so safely. For the relief of Maun Sing and to occupy Fyzabad, Sir Hope Grant left Lucknow on the 21st ult., with the following force :-Ist M'adraa Fusiliers, 2d Battalion Rifle Brigade, MM. ith Hussars, Hodson's Horse, Ist Regiment Punjaub Infantry, with 12 light guns and a heavy siege train. We now hold the military road between Cawn pore and Lucknow ; the route on to Nawabgunge beyond the capital ; and a strip of country a few miles broad along the north of this line throughout its extent. General Grant's advance on Fyzabad will probably give us the command of that road also, and little more can then be done until the cold weather permits the re-opening of the campaign. It is not improbable that ere then the rebels may have melted away. The force which the Begum was organising at Boondee she is unable to retain, the men deserting in large numbers, leaving their arms behind them. The latter fact is very sugges tive. The rebel treasury we believe is exhausted, and it is confidently stated that the miscreant Nana has been compelled, by extreme straits, to sell his famous ruby of fabulous value to a native banker for 10,000 rupees. • • In Behar, writes the Friend of India, There are three thousand rebels congregated about the jungle at Jugdespore, which we have been unable to de - stroy. These men, though badly armed and scantily sappl ed with provisions, have swept the country from Gya to Patna, from the Soane river to. the Kurumnassa. They have burnt bungalows and factories, liberated prisoners, and mutilated ryots. In the face of Sir E. Lugard, with 2,000 troops at Judgespore, and in the teeth of Brigadier Douglas, with a Queen's regiment at Bluer, they have ravaged the whole country. The last telegram, however, gives more hopeful accounts. The rebels have retired from Arrah, after burn ing Mr. Vincent's house, and Brigadier Douglas has as sumed the command of the disturbed - districts. He was last described as about to establish military posts about the position of the enemy. At present we regard the tactics to be employed with but little hopes of success. The enemy will, we are afraid, evade these posts as easily as they did the enclosing force of Sir E. Lugard, and the struggle will be in definitely prolonged. Still the enemy in all but numbers, the sympathy of the populace, and the celerity if their motions, are a contemptible foe. They scarcely have a good gun amongst them, caps are almost unprocurable, being sold at 4s. the hundred. The rebels have not mach trea sure ; their excursions, though they have inflicted con siderable damage to us, have been sadly unprofitable to themselves. Their pay is doled out in pittances of one or two rupees in alternate months, provisions are scarce, enemies numerous, and the climate intemperate even to Bhoojpoories. Our contemporary proceeds, according to custom, to attribute the delay in reducing this jungle rabble to Lord Canning's incapacity. It was an amnesty that was to quiet Oude four months ago, and now it is an amnesty that is to disperse these Jugdespore bandits, and convert them into honest men : They would cease to resist were they certain of immunity. They would quietly disperse could they be assured that none would be looked after in their villages. But of this some are not certain, and others, who have assisted at the murder of Europeans, know that for them the day of mercy is past. The "ultimate intentions" of the Governor-Gene ral for the one pariy are of no avail, and the others, if they even hear of them, 'will scarcely credit them. But with steady, quiet perseverance / we may even clear Shahabad in I the rains. Doubtless, without any amnesty, we trust to stand in the way of hanging d fair proportion of hem, for their cold-blooded atr:'►cities upon the ryt.'ts of the district in the last two nlonths. As an iiiqta2lnent of this retribution, we learn Try telegram, dated lOth July, that a party of eight picked men of Captain I;att; - ray's corps being sent out to catch Sungram Sing, his brother Raday Sing, and his nephew and sons, met with entire success. They disguised themselves as mutinous Sepoys, and suc ceeded in bringing .ju Sungram Sing alive, and the heads of the others : Sungram Sing having,• Formatted some murders in the neighbourhood of Rotas, and the road being completely closed by him, I sent out a party of eight picked men from my regiment, with orders ,to bring in orkill Sungram Sing. This party succeeded most'signally ; they disguised them selves as mutinous sepoys, brought in Sungram Sing last night and killed his brother (who is the man who committed the late murders by Sungram Sing's orders), his sons, nephew, and grandsons, amounting in all to nine persons, bringing in their heads. At this capture all the people of the south are much rejoiced. The hills for the present are clear of rebels. I shall try Sungram Sing to-morrow. _ _ _ It is at least doubtful whether an amnesty be the right weapon with which to attack the dacoits of our jungles. RAJPOOTANA. The Gwalior fugitives under Tantia Topee did not venture to advance upon Jeypoor in presence of General Roberts, but turned southwards to Tonk, where they managed to loot the town before the Nusseerabad force, which was at their heels, arrived. They now continued their flight in the direction of Boondee, pursued by Colonel Holmes, with a force of Cavalry and Horse Artillery detached by General Roberts. By our last advices the General was still at Tonk on the 19th July, and Colonel Holmes's detachment on the 17th was one march behind the main body of the rebels, now reduced to 3,000 in number, and making for the Chumbul. The Friend of India states that we have been strengthening our Deccan stations, in anticipation of a visit from Tantia Topee. We have heard no confirmation in Bombay of this, nor, we may add, of the extraordinary . announcement contained in the summary, that General Jacob has occupied Quetta with his outposts. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Bombay Standard.) BOMBAY, AUGUST 4. GENERAL REMARKS : The weather continues season able, with copious falls of rain both at the Presidency and in the interior ; in fact, there have been scarcely any or no complaints of its want anywhere. Peace has been estab- lished, and the people' are quiet in every district subject to this Presidency; even in the north-west scarcely any foe of magnitude remains. Our import trade has consequently continued to attract the attention of dealers, to prepare large supplies for despatch to the interior immediately the season permits, which we expect will be from the Ist prox. Our export trade does not show equal activity, more on ac count of the stock in the market being unusually scanty, and consequently kept up above remunerative prices for shippers. The Money Market has undergone no material change since our last. Money may be had in any quantity at 4 per cent. on security of Government paper. Fours are at 151, and Fives at 61 to 6} discount.

DISCOVERY or HUMAN REMAINS.—In sinking for the foundations of the new schools about to be erected in Theo bald's road for the parish of St. George-the-Martyr, Messrs. Wigg, Son, and Oliver, architects, the workmen came upon two skeletons. The skull of ono, with the teeth quite per fect, is now at Mr. White's, chymist, opposite, who con , liders it to be that of a f ema l e a b ou t 16 y e ars of age. The I, Nig bones of the legs and arms are sawn in two, as if to l Ur in a small compass. As this may meet the eye of some e acquainted with the history of the locality, any infor /, istion on the subject would be acceptable. Several coins of ' William 111. have been picked up by the workmen about th, lame level as the bones were found. FRANCE. ABOLITION OF THE OFFICE OF GOVER NOR-GENERAL OF ALGERIA.

The Superior President of the province of Bran denburg has caused the following to be published in the journals of Berlin : " The Queen of Great Britain before her depar ture conferred on me the high mission of making known to the public how much her Majesty and the Prince Consort have been gratified by the friendly and affectionate sentiments of the inhabi tants of the country, and particularly of the royal residences and the neighbouring localities ;—senti ments of which they received so many testimonies during their journey, and especially during their stay at Babelsberg. H.M. and H.R.H. particularly desire that it shall be stated that the cordial atten tion of the population of the capital, on the occa sion of the birthday of the Prince Consort, caused them great pleasure, and has inspired them with sincere gratitude. The Queen and Prince will ever retain the most agreeable remembrance of their journey." ROME. A letter from Rome of the 28th ult., says : " The Pope will hold a secret consistory on the 15th September. Yesterday being St. Louis's day, a solemn service was celebrated in the French church by the Archbishop of Iconio. The Duke de Gra mont, French Ambassador ; General de Nune, commanding the French troops ; the mem bers of the French legation, and a number of French officers were present. In the afternoon the Pope visited the church, and was received by the ambassador, who, according to custom, opened his carriage door. The Pope pro ceeded to the altar, where he knelt and prayed ; and afterwards went to the vestry and received the homage of the members of the embassy and others. The Pope on leaving said that he felt great pleasure in visiting the church to pray for France, for the Emperor and Empress, and Imperial Prince." SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the. 29th ult. publish telegraphs stating that the Queen and Royal family, after visiting the chapel and grotto of Cavadonga, had, on the previous day, returned to Gijon. The Espana contains an account of the Queen having visited the coal mines in the neighbourhood of San Juan. Her Majesty expressed a desire to descend into the principal pit, which is upwards of 350 feet deep, and to go further in the pit than any one had ever been. The President of the Council, Marshal O'Donnell, recommended her Majesty not to make the descent, as it might be attended with some dan ger, but the Queen persisted. The Minister and General Lemery then went down to receive the Queen, and her Majesty, accompanied by the King, and attended by the director, and by the engineer, Mr. Smith, afterwards descended. When the Queen got to the bottom, she cried to her suite that they might follow her without fear. The Queen then went along the principal gallery of the pit, which goes on an incline upwards of 300 yards—great part of this under the sea. Arrived at the very extremity, the Queen formed her initials on a large block of coal, by means of drops from a tallow candle. The director declared that no female had ever had the courage to go so far, and he requested and obtained permission to place a stone on the spot to perpetuate the remembrance of the visit. When the Queen ascended to the orifice, the miners who were assembled cheered enthusiastically. CONVICTION FOR GIVING A FALSE CHARACTER. A strange case was brought before the bench of magistrates, at Sidmouth, on Tuesday the 24th ult. plr. Charles Penruddock Fitzgerald, of Avebury, in the county of Wilts, surgeon, appeared upon a summons obtained against him by John B. Lousada, Esq., of Peak House, one of her Majesty's justices of the peace, charging him with having given a false character to a servant whom Mr. Lousada had engaged as dairymaid upon the recommendation of Mr. Fitzgerald. The information was laid under the Act of 32 Geo. 111., c. 56. Mr. George Gutteres, of London, who happened to be staying at Sidmouth, conducted the case on behalf of Mr. Lousada ; and Mr. Wellesford, of Exeter, attended for Mr. Fitzgerald. From the opening statement of Mr. Gutteres, which was fully borne out by the evidence, it ap peared that, in consequence of an advertisement in the Times in May last, Mrs. Lousada, who was i n want of a dairymaid, applied to the address given at Avebury for the character of the person men tioned in the advertisement, and in reply received (May 28) a letter purporting to come from Mrs. Fitzgerald, but which was written by the defen: dant, giving a very high character of a girl named Ann Rose, who was stated to have lived with Mrs. Fitzgerald.twoyears, and to be thoro ug hly com petent as a dairymaid in all respects, and to be steady, sober, trustworthy, &c. Upon the faith of this character, confirmed by a second letter written by the defendant in his wife's name, Ann Rose was, in the beginning of June, engaged by Mr. and Mrs. Lousada as dairymaid. They soon found that she was perfectly incompetent to her situation, and on the 26th July gave her warning. Mr. Lousada, on the 13th August, wrote to Mrs. Fitzgerald, expressin g surprise at the character which she had given to Ann Rose, as she appeared quite incompetent ; and received a reply, dated 14th August, in a different handwriting to the letters containing the character, stating that Mrs. Fitz gerald had never given Ann Rose a character, and knew nothing whatever of her, and had had no previous communication with Mrs. Lousada on the subject. This part of the case was proved by Mr. and Mrs. Lousada, and by the production of various letters from the defendant, one of which was written to Ann Rose, and was couched in ver y w arm lan guage, and in others of which, addressed to Mr. Gutteres, he admitted having given her a false character. Ann Rose was then called, and proved that her real name was Harriet Fell—that she was confined of an illegitimate child in Oct. 1856, at Avebury, when the defendant was then called in by her then mistress to attend her. The child was dead, and she was tried at Salisbury, at the Winter Assizes of 1856, for child murder, and was sentenced to twelve months' imprison ment. She came out of prison in December, 1857, and went to reside at home with her parents, at Compton Bassets, where she remained until she went to Mr. Lousada's in June. During the time she was at home the defendant saw her at times, and promised to try to get her a situation, and to give her a character, and put the a dvertisement in the paper. He knew all about her imprisoament. She had never lived in the service of the defendant or of Mrs. Fitzgerald, or as a servant in any ca pacity. The defendant was then convicted; and ordered to pay a fine of £2O, and 10s. costs, being the penalty imposed by the act, or in de Fault three months' imprisonment and hard labour. The defendant paid the amount. MAGAZINES. Blackwood.—The present instalment of " What Will He do With It," is an eventful one, the plot is becoming more fully developed, and the interest mow exciting as we proceed. Each of the striking passages here met with is of an important nature, whether we meet with Lionel in the fire and devo tion of " love's young dream," pleading in vain his cause with his haughty kinsman, or contemplate the painful interview that took place between Darrell and Lady Montfort, or even turn to the pages wherein is recorded the fitting discomfiture that befel Jasper Losely. It is satisfactory to find the unfortunate Poole for a time relieved from the dreadful infliction that weighed him down in the presence and persecutions of his early , evil asso ciates. The indefatigable Mrs. Crane again appears to warn and rescue the object of her unceasing attentions, and with zeal and intelligence worthy of being employed in a better cause, she hovers continually around his dark pathway. In the meeting between Darrell and Caroline, recorded at the close of this part, much is revealed that serves to illustrate the mysterious gloom of his cha racter, and the shade of melancholy that had rested on her life, so f a i r and promising in the eyes of the world. " The Commons at Cherbourg," by one of ihemselves, „is a most amusing account of the various adventures met with by those on board the Pera. It will certainly be perused with gratifi cation by those who delight in a flowing style, witty remarks, and humorous anecdotes. " The Light on the Hearth"' is the commencement of a new story, which is of a gloomy nature. The de scriptions of Roger Trevenna and his household are graphically sketched, and in the succeeding portions of the story there will most probably be some ex citing mystery. " A Parochial Epic" is a clever satire on sectarian prejudices and intolerances; it is written with great spirit and vigour, and in some passages is entertaining in the extreme, particularly where the deputation waited on the Duke. There is a scientific article on the subject of "Respira tion and Suffocation," which contains a great deal of information, and •is deserving attention from those who would dwell on this important topic. " Cherbourg : the Spectacle," is the name of a paper which describes that place which is now the source of so much interest and excitement. It is now treated of as a spectacle and picture ; in a future number it is proposed to review it as a port and for tress. In the description given of the occurrences the writer remarks that " with the French lives the genius of modern pageantry ; they rejoice in it, they gldry in it, they understand it, they are ever acting it, and they excel in it." Dublin University.—" Gerald Fitzgerald" is con tinued, but the story does not make any decided progress in this . part. Gerald has, by some unex plained means, incurred the censure of the authori ties, and fallen under royal displeasure • but that circumstance does not appea r t o trouble him much. Some mysterious plans are arranged at Rome in a cardinals chamber, the result of which will most probably be of some importance in the future chap ters of this work. " Rides upon Mules and Don keys up and down Nile Banks" forms the title of some amusing and instructive sketches of Egyptian travels. It is observed that the overflowing of the Rhine and the Loire is watched by .. sorrow-stricken paysans ; " but far other is Father Nile's inunda tion—it has the semblance of a great national holi day." " Artist Life in Rome" is proceeded with : the tale is a very melancholy one, and Freeling is beset on all sides by the malice of enemies. On his arrival in England he seemed to be approaching a happier fate, but he is left again, surrounded by difficulties, in Rome, whither he has again bent his wandering steps. Crawford is depicted in an artistic manner as one of those evil-intentioned individuals who are the plague of society, by their unscrupu lous conduct and virulent hatreds. " Sorrow on the Sea" is the subject of some verses which are of a sombre hue, but contain some pleasing lines. " The Holy Stewardship" is from the German of Redwitz, and there are some beauti ful truths expressed in the language of the dying daughter of the Baron to her father. There are also met with among the poetical contributions of this number, four Welsh sonnets by Martin Tupper, which will prove attractive to those who admire his quaint style. There are some very judicious re marks in the first article entitled " Religious Bio graphy." It is well worthy of attention from the earnest and sincere spirt m which it is written, weighing fairly the merits of each particular sect, and pointing out their various errors in an impar tialo manner. Some observations are made on the life of Elisha Reid Kane, " the Arctic Voyager," which are interesting to peruse. His was a peculiar bent of mind, but his character commands admira tion. It is here said of him that " his was the true greatness, not of riches, knowledge, or power, but of the spirit' of a child, gentle in love, unpre tending in action, and patient in heroism." Fraser.—An ably written essay, " Concerning Work and Play," commences this number of Fraser. It contains much truth and pleasant writing, but we cannot coincide with the author's wholesale de nunciation of work. He says that it is a necessary evil, that no one can possibly like it in itself, that we may like the results obtained by it, but that if those results were obtainable without it we should be glad. He speaks especially of the labour of composition, and asserts that though it may some times be pleasant to write, it would always be pleasanter not to do so. He bids all beware of the boy who says he would rather learn his lessons than play cricket. But he forgets that the boy does not choose idleness when he chooses cricket ; it entails what would be considered very hard work by those of another age ; he chooses the pur suit :which affords him the free development of his most prominent powers, which are then active, physical energy and strength of limb ; and no doubt at a more advanced period, when the mental powers have asserted their pre-eminence, their exercise and development is as necessary and pleasant as the sports of healthy childhood. While to all who possess any gifts or talents, whether in music, painting, poetry, prose, or any . other special calling, the irresistible power that bids them exercise that gift, is sufficiently proved by the obstacles they have surmounted, the discouragements they have braved, the long course of poverty, neglect, and contempt that have been often borne in preference to abandoning a cherished pursuit. The remarks of the writer on the neces sity for recreation and variety of thought, are true and forcible. He des cr ib es th e diffi culty expe rienced by the literary man or sedentary scholar when seeking for recreation and change of thought. A new series of papers is commenced under the title of " Sketches from Egypt." The first number is pleasantly written, and promises well. The clever story of " Hanworth " proceeds with interest. We are allowed' to suspect a game of cross purposes. It promises to be an ani mated story. The papers on Natural History take for their subject a somewhat formidable in dividual—the Cormorant. The usual melee of infor mation and discussion, of zoological instruction and poetical quotation are given. The concluding part of " Catarina in Venice" does not clear up the mystery of the murder, nevertheless it is written with originality and power, and the remarks on the Austrian empire and the War of Independence are just and forcible. A little more coherence and con densation would have improved the story. " Chalk Stream Studies" is an essay attractive to the angler. " The Lawful Regiment of Women" is the title of a curious paper which will interest the antiquary, and there are other topics of political and literary warfare which will arouse the atten tion of the reader. Colburn's United Service.—The readers of the United Service have probably been already some what surprised by the tone adopted by the writer of the first article, on the Indian Empire, in the last few numbers. This writer evidently considers the possession of that vast empire with all its yet un developed resources as a decided disadvantage to this country. As he starts with such extraordinary opinions and adopts equally remarkable arg uments to maintain them, we should. imagine he will meet more opponents than converts among his readers. serial Such a remarkable e vent as the completion of Cherbourg could not pass unnoticed in a devoted to military and naval matters, and accord ingly we meet an animated sketch of its origin and progress, which, by . way of compensation for the distinction of our neighbours, commences with an national Lifeof introductory panegyric on the EnAglish New character. The second part of ,, occp in y thei Wellington" follows the General's career Den mark and Portugal. India andiChna u usual prominent position among the subjects t rea t e d of, and there are some lighter matters pleasantly mingled with the stern details of warfare. The Editor's Portfolio" discusses the prominent events of the month, and all intelligence. respecting the two services is gi ven in full Colburn's N ew monthly.—" The Peninsular Wa r as V i ewed by a French Statesman," is the first subject that meets th e rea d er i n thi s magaz i ne, and it is curious to compare the accounts given of that long struggle by the authorities of the rival nations. " Photographers of New York" is the title of an entertaining paper, which takes a peep at American social existence from a German point of view. Some of the details are amusing enough, though we question whether our transatlantic friends would be satisfied with the general impression given. Th e way in whi c h th e evas i on o f th e Maine Law is de scribed will amuse its opponents. " Agnes Water low" is the continuation of the story of Lord and Lady Hartledon, and it displays the writer's usual ingenuity in the construction of the plot. The mystery which has so long shrouded their affairs is now disclosed, and proves to be, as the reader must have conjectured, a previous marriage. It is to he hoped that the troubles of Anne Ashton are now at an end, but the call excites little pity from his weakness and want of principle. Sir.Nathaniers Readings in current literature are again devoted to continental subjects. Mr. Cousins' key to the " Grand Cyrus," and two " Histories of the French Aca demy," furnish him with an interesting variety of topics. Hans Ernest Mitterknip continues his autobiography, and the story of " Evalla" is pro ceeded with. There is not much deserving of espe cial notice in either. Mr. Massey's " History of England," which is slowly advancing, is criticised briefly and favourably. " The Thunder Gust" is a short tale of a thunderstorm at sea, which deprived a sailor of his sight. Dr. Barth's " Journey to Timbuctoo and the Central Niger" form the subject of an interesting paper. They are especially attrac tive to the readers of Dr. Livingstone's volumes, forming such a suitable companion to the researches of that able and energetic missionary in the southern parts of Africa. Bentley's Miscellany.—The feats and fortunes of the Earls of Kildare, their legends, ghost stories, al ancestral glories, form th e su bj ec t o f a p l easan t paper, which renders full justice to the manner in which the present Marquis of Kildare has acquitted himself of his task. " A Month in the South of Spain" gives a delightful picture of the beautiful scenery and the pleasures of variety, which compen sate, the traveller tells us, for the comforts and conveniences left behind. " The Rock," by the author of. " Moat Grange," is the first part of an interesting domestic story, by the same writer, who has often contributed to the entertainment of the story readers of Bentley. It is written with his accustomed ability, and promises future instalments. Monkshood's " New Book Notes" discuss the merits of M. Ferrari's recent volumes of the History of Italian Revolutions. The long war between the Guelfs and the Ghibellines affords ample scope for the historian and the critic. " The Guardsman in Con stantinople" tells us nothing very new about the Golden Horn or the Sweet Waters, but those ma gazine readers who by some extraordinary chance have not previously met with similar descriptions will find amusement in the pictures of a society so different from our own. The story of " Twice Avenged" is continued, and perplexes the reader as to the real sentiments of its hero and heroine. " Lords and Lathes," a Sylvan fancy, is the title of a graceful lyric, paying homage to those sove reigns of childish dreams. Mr. Dudley Costello continues his story of " Faint Heart never wofi Fair Lady," indefatigably. An imprisonment in madhouse is among the principal incidents of this number. MISCELLANEOUS MAGAZINES. The National Magazine is more attractive than usual this month. The wit and opinions of Douglas Jerrold, collected by his son, still continue to oc cupy a prominent place, though they are scarcely calculated to add to the reputation of the brilliant satirist. There are a variety of notes and sketches mingled with some papers on art exhibitions, and some graceful verses by Holme Lee.—Titan con tinues his story of the " Clubs and the Secret Police of Paris," which is well calculated to attract the reader by its characteristic delineations and vivacity, but we miss from the pages of this magazine the pleasant story of English domestic life so lately concluded. There are several sketches of average merit.—The Irish Metropolitan Magazine is im proving in style. " The Romance of Art," and " Characteristic Anecdotes," are among the best papers. " The Courtships of Jean Paul Richter* are the subject of an entertai n i ng paper. The authoress of " Whitefriars" continues her story of " The Irish Brigadesman," and the usual sporting intelligence is given. —The Eclectic Review has, among other articles of general interest, a paper on the life of the late Lord Metcalfe, rendering 'full justice to the memory of that dis tinguished man. " The Drainage of the Metropo lis' is discussed ; and " Dr. Barth's Travels in Africa" furnish an interesting paper. The reviewer of German literature laments the lack of novelty or variety in the Fatherland this quarter.—The Money Bag is a clever and spirited production* waging fierce war against the present currency system, and upholding lib era l an d stra i g h t f orwar d principles in literature, politics, and finance.-- Newton's London Journal of Arts and Sciences gives its usual lists of patents and improvements. The introductory papers are on the " Copyright of Designs Act," and " Atlantic Telegraph Cable.' —Routledge's Shakspere has reached the twenty eighth part, and compl e t es " Ti mon o f Athens ' and commences " Richard the Third."—Davenport Dunn chronicles some extraordinary events, and proceeds in Charles Lever's usual brilliant style.— A popular account of " The Wild Flowers of Eng , laud ' is being issued monthly, with a coloured group of flowers, offering a sufficient attraction for any student to extend his knowledge of these charming little denizens of our fields and hedges. RUSSIA AND CHINA-THE NEW BOUNDARY TREATY. ST. PETERSBURG, AUG. 26. The Journal of the Russian Academy contains a correspondence from Irkutsk, the capital of Siberia, dated the 2d of July, in which the importance of the treaty with China is pointed out. By this treaty, the writer says, the question of the boundary HO which was left open at the peace of Nertchinsk (1689) is definitively settled. In that arrangement both the contracting powers (Russia and China) postponed the settlement of the boundary line from. • the 147th degree of east longitude down to the mouth of the Amour to a future period, owing to the then almost unknown topography of this district, which comprises a frontier of 1,600 versts, or more than thousand English miles. Russia in the meantime claimed possession of and occupied it by a chain of military posts; and China, though she never acknow ledged it as belonging to Russia, did not actually , dispute it, though Russian diplomacy could never hitherto induce China to recognise it by treaty. Now, however, under the pressure of internal dis sensions at home, and of the war with the Western Powers abroad, the Celestial Government was more easily induced to come to terms with Russia, and to recognise the claim of Russia to the beautiful dis trict of the mouth of the Amour, in the hope of pre venting their putting forth further demands, which, under present circumstances, could not be resisted with success. In this way the treaty concerning the boundary line was brought about, which is one of the greatest importance for Russia, and will form one of the brightest pages in the reign of the present Em peror, and will immortalise the name of Mouravieff• the Governor-General of Siberia, who negotiated it. In the course of time the rich and fruitful lands on the Amur will, it is predicted, become the granary of Eastern Siberia and the Russian settlements in America, as well as the principal corn market for the millions of inhabitants in China and Japan. This beautiful tract of country contains all the elements for producing unlimited supplies of grain and cattle. According to the new treaty signed by General Mouravieff and the Chinese Plenipotentiary on the 28th of May (9th of June new style), at Ssachelaeon-Ulla Choton (called Che-Lun-Chin- Chen in Chinese and Aighun in Russian) the river Amour will form the boundary from the spot where the river Shelka joins the Argun, down to the confluence of the Ussuri with the Amour. Below the mouth of the Ussuri both banks of the Amour down to the sea belong to Russia ; and the free navigation of the Ussuri is con ceded to the Russians, and that of the Lower Amour to the Chinese. The ambition of Russia and the traditional policy of Peter the Great have thus at length been fully realized ; and it now remains for Russia to improve this peaceful conquest by a p r oper system of colonization and the developnient of its magnificent resources. For this purpose the Gover nor-General Mouravieff had set off on a tour of in spection to the Amour, to examine personally the newly-acquired territory, and to make the necessary arrangements in a military, commercial, and agri cultural point of view, and was not expected to re turn to Irkutsk before the latter end of September. PROCLAMATION OF OLITLAWItY.—At the sitting of the Sheriffs' Court, Red Lion-square, Mr. Hemp, the officer, made proclamations of outlawry in the following cases :—Ernest Vane Tempest, commonly called Lord Er nest Vane Tempest, at the suit of the Queen • Lord James Pelham Clinton, at the suit of Edward Pachham; Wash ington Fox, at the suit of Thomas Benson ; William Mac" Oubrey and Jane, his wife, at the s u it of Thos. Richards ; Joseph Sumner grockhurst, at the suit of Henry Gibbon ; Kirwen Joseph Ferme, at the suit of John Addison ; Win. Gibbs, at the suit of Charles Stevens; John Carnac Norris, as the suit of the Oriental Bank Corporation ; H. Feudal at the suit of the same ; Wm. Barnewall, at the suit et Edward G. Lawrence ; Duncan Boast, at the suit of. Jinn" Truefitt ; and Gillian M. Ross, at the suit of Robt. Dunc an Gerard. The names are called on five occasions, at au in terval of four weeks. Lord Ernest Vane Tempest was c alled for the third, and Lord Clinton for the fifth time. In de fault of appearance pro cee di ngs are a d o pted to complete, the outlawry in such case, which cannot be done before Michaelmas Term. COT the 111 S pri ba: th th eh P.
