Amongst the greatest pleasures of life is that o: seeing a Duper done ; and the greatest, perhaps, of this kind is when the Duper is a religious impos tor, and the duped a single female done by him out of her money. The decision of Vice-Chancellor Sir JOHN STUART, reported in The Sun yesterday, gave, we are sure, this very high gratification to hun dreds, we might say thousands, who, like us, have no other interest in the matter than that of spectators. It is by no means necessary, the Judge observed, to decide whether Mr. PRINCE, if we may use plain English, were more of a rogue than a fool, or of a fool than a rogue. Those who read the evi dence must form their own judgment on that point; be he rogue or be he fool, or a compound of both, the law, we are happy to learn, is very clear; so clear that, in the mind of the judge, it admitted of no doubt—and the law is, that religious delusion vitiates a deed of gift made under the influence of the delusion. Sir JoHN, indeed, distinctly laid it down, and it ought to be well understood by every man, that " no person who stands in a relation of special confidence to another, so as to acquire habitual influence over his mind, can accept any gift or benefit from the person who is under the dominion of that influence without danger of having the gift set aside." If it can be shown that sufficient protection was inter posed to neutralise the special influence the gift may be sustained. The relation of attorney and client, guardian and ward, parent and child, were mentioned by the learned judge as instances in which the doctrine applied. The evidence in this strange case our readers have already seen in full, with our remarks at the time, and it is needless, therefore, to recal the de tails. Mr. PRINCE is the founder and the manager, for what we know the legal proprietor, of the Agapemone—the " abode of love," He is an un licensed clergyman of the Church of England, but, having, while he had a license, officiated in Suffolk, where the Misses NOTTIDGE resided at that time with their father, he became a friend of the family. After he lost his license and left Suffolk the father died, and the young ladies seem to have been mys teriously at his disposal. Three of them he mar ried to three of his male followers, but whether they were dupes or knaves we have no means of knowing ; but this we know, that he 4‘rbade one of the ladies to settle her money on any family she might have, with the assurance " from the LORD"—Which, however, turned out false, that she would have no family— the marriage being for " spiritual purposes." The whole of their fortunes were therefore at the dis posal of these almost penniless disciples of the Master of the Agapemone. The other sister he did not order to marry any one, but he bad her money, which was £5,728 in the Three per Cent. Bank. Annuities, transferred to his own name. The marrying scheme was the more sure one, if he could entirely trust his agents; still, having the money at hi s Own disposal was the more efficient plan, so he tried both. The only defect in the latter scheme was that of which Sir JoHN STUART must now have convinced him; Probably, therefore, in future, if he can find f dupes and male fellow-schemers, he will adhere to the marrying system. No one can have forgotten the extraordinary as sumptions of this strange man. His victim was certain3y led to believe that he was only in appear ance Mr. PRINCE, since his own soul had vanished, somehow, th e H OLY GHOST or been absorbed , or , had actually taken its place and pretensions dwelt,i. PRINCE'S body! He did not deny his in court, but maintained that he was the successor of the leading Patriarchs and of the SA - sq.:Yee, himself—that, indeed, the dispensation of the Gospel had terminated in its perfect man— Mr. PRINCE, and that the dispensation of judgment had now commenced! The most charitable view, as the judge observed, would of course be that, under the influence of a disordered imagination, Mr. PRINCE really took himself to be the supernatural person he professed to be, though he hinted that such a lenient view of the case was barely possible. The striking point is, the union of these supernatural imaginations with certain very earthly and natural applications of them money for fitting up a grand mansion, with all the desirable adjuncts of horses, carriages, and grounds, being the chief one. The marriages were dictated, notwithstanding expressed feminine re pugnance at the indecent haste, to men who handed over to him, according to his own state ment, between £5,000 and £6,000 each ; and when he wanted a cheque for £5O of the unmarried one, it was sent for with no other reason than "the LORD hath need of £5O to be used for a special purpose for His glory. The Spirit would have made it known to you—amen !" With those of us who are accus tomed to obtain money of others only for value in some shape received, these transactions can have but one interpretation. To us the whole thing will look worse than the deed of old SIMON MAGUS, by this—the ancient sorcerer was willing to pay PETER a fair price for what he thought so useful a gift as that of the HOLY GHOST. Mr. PRINCE, on the contrary, uses his alleged possession of the HOLY GHOST to make others pay him. PETER has told us what we must think of the men who offer money for the Divine gift—what would he have ; said of the man who used it to get money. It would really seem that in medicine and reli gion no absurdity is too great to gain credence, not only from the ignorant but the educated also. We see some of the freaks of this credulity in a horrible way just now in Syria ; we see it ludicrously at St. George's-in-the-East and St. Barnabas, sand amongst the hundreds of young curates who strut about with the belief, if we can really believe them, that they themselves have a spice of the supernatural in them—that they can do spiritual feats we will not mention, because they are successors of the Apostles ; and there are laymen—and, still more, lay-women—who can swallow all this. Fortunately, however, these clerical superna turalists are almost, without exception, gentlemen, and they would not abuse their preten sions, and practise on their disciples beyond fair religious mendicancy. It is, however, well that the law should strongly sustain this feeling amongst our young Puseyite clergy. It is a great safe guard against belief in possession of supernatural powers tempting to their abuse, to know that law will not tolerate it, if it touch that sacred charge of the law—property. Let the fanatics, out of the Church and in it, play what religious pranks they please, it is matter for thankfulness that they must at least play them within the Vice-Chancellor's law. The Quarterly Reviewer appears to be incor rigible. Civince some one against his will, and (the rhyming aphorism tells us) he's of the same opinion still. It is thus with the reviewer referred to. He contributes to the close of the current number (215) of the Quarterly an exceedingly brilliant, occasionally witty, frequently perverse political argument, entitled the " Conservative Reaction," in which he insists upon adhering to his previously avowed estimate of the right hon. gentleman the leader of the great Conservative party in the House of Commons. The uncompromising tone in which he does this will be agreeable enough to all—except the Conservatives themselves. And certainly it is very amusing to find the old Tory Quarterly innocently blurting out the admission that it assumes to be no more than the mouthpiece of a mere section of the party whose interests it has for years past affllcted 'to advocate ! Contrasting the frankness of the outspeaking of the great Liberal organs with the constrained reticence hitherto character ising the chief mouthpiece of the Conservatives, the writer here remarks very naively (p. 291), " The result is that the Liberal leaders always know from independent testimony exactly what all sections (!) of their followers are thinking—a species of information which only bursts at fitful and stray intervals upon the minds of their Conserva tive opponents." The inference is obvious--the deduction is altogether uamistakeaole. What one at least of the Conservative sections has been think ing in regard to Mr. DISRAELI, the Quarterly has of late modestly undertaken to enunciate. That it is the merest section of the great party of the Conservatives, the conduct of that party in the House of Commons has indicated pretty plainly of late to the discomfiture and abso lute isolation of such malcontents as the hon. gen tleman the member for West Norfolk, or as the noble lord the member for the borough of Stam ford. How much higher the ground assumed by MAGA ! How much larger the pretensions of that great monthly organ of the Conservatives! Black wood affecting not simply to represent a section of the party, but THE PARTY itself. After these two decidedly false steps on the part of the Quarterly, the last mentioned publication must cer tainly moderate its tone somewhat. Ridiculous though it may sound to speak of it thus, it is nevertheless true that henceforth (politically) this BOANERGES must sing small ! The Quarterly hav ing wilfully and wantonly resigned its old accus tomed right to speak in the name and on behalf of the great party of the Conservatives, undertakes to do no more nowadays than become the vent for the petty personal spleen of the Lord ROBERT CECIL, or of some other equally impetuous and injured individual. It cannot but be admitted, in spite of this de clension in the dignity of the old Tory Quarterly, tli at the political arguments here advanced in support of the views of one peculiar section of the Conser vatives are flavoured with a spice of satire that can hardly fail to render them very widely palat able. The Conservative leader himself is spoken of by the Reviewer more in sorrow than in anger. It is not in reference to him or tohis entourage that the satirical portions of the argument have, even by , implication, any reference whatever. It is to the hon. member for Birmingham, above all, that the words winged with wit fly home truly as to the bull's eye of a favourite butt. Scorn almost amounting to abhorrence is expressed by the reviewer in regard to the right hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Derision is everywhere blurted out in the direction of that un adorned diplomatist who has been ashamed to show his face during this present session, even for one brief interval, in the 'House of Comrncns. But whenever the writer has occasion to refer to Mr. BRIGHT he does so invariably in the highest spirits, in the gayest good humour — as if conscious (as in very truth he has ex cellent reason to be) that to Mr. BRIGHT is mainly attributable this unusually resus citation of Conservatism. " Probably," quoth the reviewer, at one moment, " Probably the continuance of the reaction which has already rescued the Paper Duty and the Church Rate, and has given a good account of the Reform Bill, will depend entirely upon the continuance of his salu tary exertions. It is very nearly all his doing, and he deserves the chief credit of its wonderful rapi dity. It is no small success to have won for a THE SUN, LONDON, - Conservative minority victories on three immures of the first class in the course of a single session. No one who was not possessed of Mr. BRIGHT'S unequalled powers of irritation could have effected it. We would not be understood to say that he "carried off all these triumphs without help. Such an assertion would be very unjust to several esti mable men, whose opinions are quite as extravagant and have been quite as artlessly disclosed. Dr. FOSTER no doubt shares a large part of the glory of saving Church Rates; Mr. GLADSTONE'S weak• ness for the Peace Society, and his anxiety, by dint of a crushing finance, to keep down the military spirit of the English people, were nturally valuable aids in upholding the Paper Duty; and Mr. GEORGE POTTER has rendered service not to be despised in discrediting Reform. But it is evidently from Mr. BRIGHT that this indiscreet school of revolutionists have taken their cue in abandoning the slow under mining method which was previously in favour, in atta?king by storm instead of by sap. They are merely the staff of devoted imitators and lieutenants, whom a great strategist will always form around him." Nor in all this is there any extravagance. It is a tribute to which Mr. BRIGHT is fully entitled. Palmam qua meruit feral. And to him cer tainly is it mainly attributable that Reform has been again so very effectually given the go by—that the Church Rates still re main untouched that the paper-duty-abolition has been so glaringly unpopularised. Whatever may be thought about Dr. FOSTER'S share in the quashing of the Church Rate movement, or of Mr. POTTER'S participation in the postponement of the Reform of Parliament—in regard to the Paper Duties the Quarterly Review insists with a glow of fervent admiration—" This triumph was all Mr. BRIGHT'S, was all his own ; " adding " for Mr. GLADSTONE and Mr. COBDEN were less in the position of allies co-operating for a common end than of agents executing his com mands." The inopportuneness of the juncture selected for the proposed remission is emphatically specified in one overwhelming sentence, where the reviewer remarks—" It was clearly rash, with so slight a margin of surplus, and so many clouds on the horizon, to hazard the irretrievable loss of so rich a tax." Shortly after which the writer adds, with an almost spiteful sneer, in regard to the particular duty in question. " The tax is not an unexceptionable tax, though its incompatibility with the existence of penny papers is far from being its most serious disadvantage." As to the Commercial Treaty negotiated between England and France by the unadorned diplomatist, the reviewer observes, not less truthfully than humorously, that Mr. COBDEN had been flattered and coaxed into selling England's concessions in the cheapest market and buying France's gratitude in the cfearest." Mr. GLADSTONS'S rather eccentric course is quaintly illustrated by the remark that, " Though he has undoubting confidence in the par ticular bend of the zig-zag along which he is at the moment travelling, the retrospect, even to a man of his sanguine temperament"—must be occasionally cheerless and saddening. Speaking of the doubt expressed by the hon. and learned gentleman the Member for Peterborough as to " whether his dignity as a Member of Parliament remains the same," after the late terrible affront put upon that House by the House of Lords—as when he first graced its consultations, the Quarterly Re view speaks of this with delicious gravity of manner, as—" a comparative investigation which will, no doubt, be interesting to the students of microscopic sciences!" Altogether, it may be ob served in reference to the position assumed of late by the Quarterly , as one of the more prominent among the organs of C-mservatism, that what it has lost in dignity and influence it has gained in vivacity and satiric force. If its voice can exercise no influence whatever upon the division lists—it has grown humorous enough and witty enough to be provocative of peals of merriment. THE GAME OR LIFE. (From " Once A Week." ) BY ELIZA COOK. With eager hand Hope deftly weaves The mantles that our pride would don, While busy-fingered Care uniftraves The garments as we put them on. We rear our palaces of joy, And tread them with exulting shout, Till, crumbling round, 'tis plainly found Some corner-stones have been left out. And thus we play the game of Life, Shadow and substance ever blending ; 'Mid flowers of Peace and tears of Strife Gaily beginning, sadly ending. The maiden greets her swain to-day, They jar to-morrow, and she flouts him ; Now she believes whate'er he'll say, A month has gone,—alas 1 she doubts him ; The lover hangs upon a glance, With glowing trust and earnest sueing, ; Next year he rouses from his trance, And scorns the one he late was wooing. And thus we play the game of Life, Our dreams dispell'd, our plans defeated, And when we've lost with pain and cost, Still stand, as ready to be cheated. The cooing infant's rosy mouth Aptly receives the sweeten'd potion ; When waves are calm, and winds are south, None see the death-rocks in the ocean. The rich man toils "to gather up," Meaning to bask in Fortune's clover, And while he pours into his cup, Perceives not it is running over. And thus we play the game of Life, Now simply snared, now wisely brooding, Now bribed by smiles, now spreading wiles, Living deluded and deluding. The Poet prattles to the stars, Philosophers dissect the thunder, But both are stopp'd by crystal bars, And stand outside to watch and wonder. We moralise on battle plains, Where blood has poured, and fame was won, We turn and see the baby's glee Over his mimic sword and gun. And thus we play the game of Life, 'Twixt holy Thought and tearful Deed. Some only stay to work and pray; And some but live for Crime and Greed. Our feet of clay trip up each other, Our wings of ether seek the sky ; We breathe—we are—child follows mother, Yet none can tell us " How ?" or "'Why ?" Our hearts, like clocks, keep ticking fast, We climb and laugh, we fall and weep, Till, tired of guessing, at the last We solve the riddle in a sleep. And thus wo play the game of Life, In motley garbs of Grief and Pleasure, Till we are drest in that green vest For which the sexton takes our measure. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, his Serene highness the Sovereign Prince of Lichtenstein, the Marquis of Exeter, and Major Greville, joined the circle partaking of the hospitality of the Duke and Duchess of Richmond, at Goodwood, on Tuesday evening. His Highness the Prince Ponia.towski and the Marquis of Gaviria have arrived at the Brunswick Hotel, Jermyn-street, from Rome. The Duke and Du3hess of Buccleuch and the Ladies Scott aro expected to leave Belgrave .square on Saturday first for Drumlanrig Castle, N.B. The Marquis of Lansdowne will leave Lansdowne House in a few days for his residence at Richmond. Count and Countess de Flahault arrived at Coven • try House yesterday from Brighton. Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston will leave town on Saturday on a visit to her Majesty at Osborne. Lord Clyde has left Wallace's Hotel, Hyde-park corner, for Osborne, on a visit to her Majesty. Lady Mary Pelham died on Monday last, at the wager Countess of Chichester's residence, in Grosvenor place, after a short illness. Her ladyship was eldest daughter of the late earl, and was born in 1802. Mr. and Lady Isabella Schuster have left town for the Lakes, en route for the Earl of Orkney's seat in Scotland. LATEST The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Reuter's office : PARIS, JULY 26. The Constitutionnel has an article, signed M. Grandguillot, congratulating the London Times on the leading article on Syriq, published in that jour nal yesterday. " The language of the Times," says M. Grand guillot, " seems to be in accordance with British feelings, and to express the real policy of the Foreign-office." The Constitutionnel also says : "The expedition which Franca has been pre paring for the last three days with marvellous despatch will, as a matter of necessity, be carried out. The early departure of our troops may be expected. " The part of France will be neither that of occupation nor intervention. "We are about to give our support to Turkey to assist her in repressing disorders which would infallibly result in the loss of the Turkish Empire. "The Eastern question, as it at present stands, does not appear to be susceptible of dividing Europe; but, on the contrary, of uniting the European powers for the defence of interests and principles which impose the same obligations on , all the Christian States." BERLIN, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The health of the Princess Frederick William and the Royal infant being quite satisfactory, no bulletins have been published to-day. TOPLITZ, JULY 26, The Prince Regent arrived here yesterday at 6 p.m., and was received at the terminus by the Emperor. His Majesty shook hands with his Royal High. The Emperor wore the Prussian military uni orm, and the decoration of the order of the Black Eagle. The Prince Regent wore the Austrian uniform, and the decoration of the order of St. Stephens. Count Rechberg was not present at the ter. minus. TURIN, JULY 26. The object of the mission of the Marquis de la Greca is to bring about a compromise by which the King of Naples would accept the result of univer sal suffrage in Sicily should the Western Powers guarantee the integrity of his Majesty's dominions on the mainland, and prevent Garibaldi from effect ing a landing there. CONSTANTINOPLE (via MARSEILLES) JULY 18. The Ambassadors have received accounts of the recent massacre at Damascus. The Druses and Bedouins, in returning to Kaman (?) passed through Damascus, and proposed a general massacre of the Christians to Abd-el- Kader, who refused to countenance it. The inha bitants, however, became accomplices in the murder of the Christians. The other details are in accord• ante with those already known. It is confirmed that some of the Turkish soldiers assisted the assassins. Their General, Ahmed Bey, took to flight, but the other authorities remained in the fortress. The Turkish reinforcements sent to Syria are said not to exceed 6,000 men, as it is not possible to withdraw the troops from Roumelia on account of the agitation prevailing there. Sir Henry Bulwer has received a telegram from London, and immediately had a long conference with the Sultan. MARSEILLES, JULY 25. The indirect packet-boat from Syria has arrived with dates to the 7th inst. Nothing fresh had transpired. The direct packet from Syria is expected to arrive on Tuesday next. • TURIN, JULY 25. The King has received the Neapolitan Ambas There is no news of Garibaldi. PARIS, JULY 25. The Constitutionnel contains the following : "The latest news from Syria announces that the state of things was still serious. " Ten thousand Druses were marching on Damas cus, where the Christians run the greatest danger. " A prompt European intervention is absolutely necessary to rescue the remaining Christians from being massacred. •It may be added that a perfect good under standing prevails between France and England. " The last measures have been taken in concert with the English Cabinet, and nothing delays the departure of the expedition for Syria." The Pays of this evening says : " Reports are current that a treaty between Austria and Prussia preceded the conference at Toplitz." NEWS sadors. MURSDAY EVENritiO, JULY 26, i 866. that the Sicilian fleet, which consists of the Washington, the Lonzbardo, the Oriso, the Veloce, the Duca-di-Calabria, and the Elba, intercepted their passage, and compelled them to return. We have just been informed that the authorities have already received 4,200 applications from persons desirous of being exempted from serving in the National Guard." The Official Constitutional Journal, of Naples, deplores the events of the 15th, and adds that M. Pianelli, the military commandant and several offi cers, interfered and put a stop to the violence of the soldiers. The latest intelligence confirms the nomination of M. Leborio Romano as Minister of the Interior at Naples. M. Raphael Farina suc ceeds him in the Prefecture of Police. A letter from Naples of the 18th says :—" After the late attempt of the Royal Guard, the Ministers assembled in council, and had an extremely agitated discussion. Eventually they pronounced energeti cally for the removal front the city of the regiments which committed the excesses ; for the dismissal of the foreign battalions, the existence of which is contrary to the spirit and letter of the constitution ; and, finally, for the definitive sending away of the most influential members of the ca.marilla. The King, accompanied by Prince Ischitella, went yesterday morning to the regiments and sharply reprimanded them. I tell you,' said his Majesty, in a firm voice, 'that any one who acts against the constitu tional regime which I have established of my own free-will acts against me.' These words produced a good effect. The Ministry, I am assured, is anxious to hasten the opening of the Parliament, and consequently the convocation of the electors. It also desires to lower the property qualification required for electors, and to enlarge the basis of ad mission to the National Guard, of which, up to the present moment, only a few battalions have been formed. Almost all the persons nominated to the command of these battalions have refused, not so much from hostility to the Government, as from fear of the present and the future." The King of the Two Sicilies has just addressed the following proclamation, dated the 15th, to the army and navy : " By a free and spontaneous act of our free will, we have conceded to the kingdom constitutional and representative bodies in harmony with the progress of civilisation and the wants of the people whom Providence has confided to our care. You will enter on this noble and glorious path, and you will unite in the constitutional compact which binds us together as one family ; you will be the champions of justice, humanity, discipline, and love of country ; you, the hope of your fellow-citizens, will be the firm supports of the Throne and of the new institutions, and the instru ment of national grandeur and prosperity. I re member with gratitude the fidelity and obedience which you have hitherto shown me, and I give you this testimony of my satisfaction. No one better than your Sovereign can assign to your merits the praise which is their due, a fact which even those who are actuated by malignity or malevolence can not deny. It is now proper that you should do honour to yourselves by your moderation and your dignity, and make your arms the support of the new order of things, and of the new, firm, and conciliatory policy which must inspire con fidence in the people, and put an end to the appre hensions of the diplomacy which fears to see the balance of power in Europe compromised. Your past is a guarantee for the future. Soldiers ! Fresh destinies call you to raise the dignity of our Italian country ; be proud of the mandate. The people who have twice revived European civilisation will not fail in the difficult work of reconquering by its in dependence the high position which its geographical situation, the force of arms, and historical associa tions accord to it. You constitute a great part of this people, and you must henceforth support its glory and its grandeur. " FRANCIS II." SICILY. A letter from Palermo, in the Opinione of Turin, states that after General Garibaldi had exiled Sig nor La Farina, he communicated to Rear-Admiral Fersano, commanding the Sardinia vessels sta tioned at Palermo, several names of persons whom he was willing to receive in lieu of that gentleman; these wore, besides Signor Depretis, Marquis Palla vicino Trivalzio, Count Selopis, Signor Valerio, and Massimo d'Azeglio. The Opinione adds that all these names confirm the opinion that Garibaldi in tends to annex the island of Sicily to Upper Italy without delay. Garibaldi, before leaving Palermo, published a decree ordering that all the acts of the Government should be performed in the name of Victor Emma nuel, King of Italy. The Dictator delegated his powers to M. Sistori, as was anticipated, and who will conduct the Government during his absence. ROME. A letter in the Cologne Gazette states that the Pope has refused to adopt any of the measures suggested by the French Minister, and has declared, if these changes are forced on him, he will abandon his States. 'I he Papal Government is kept in con stant al arm by the rapid organisation of an army in Sicily. It is growing daily in numbers, and fast receiving supplies of all kinds —arms, provisions, and clothing. The rumour that Garibaldi had el barked with a strong force, with the intention o, landing on the Italian coast, has increased the alarm of the Roman authorities. It is feared that Garibaldi may suddenly appear on the Papal terri tory, his real purpo se bein g quite unknown. The Papal corvette, the Immaculata Concezione, with some small guard boats, is stationed at Terracina. They may suffice to carry the news of the landing, if it takes place, but will be powerless to prevent it. Lamoriciere is doing his utmost to bring the Pope's land force into a condition that may enable him to attempt some defensive movement. All the intelligence from Rome, given in the German journals, confirms the descriptions of the violent and disorderly conduct of the Irish military immigrants. They are still a cause of the utmost perplexity to the Roman authorities. For the sake of peace, the pay of the recruits was, a short time since, raised 10 bajoechi a-day, and coffee and two meals per diem allowed them. But they are very dis contented, complaining that they were promised high pay, that they have been badly treated, and deceived in every respect. In Macerata, Spoleto, and Civita Castellana they have conducted them selves so violently that the ItaliAns regard and treat them with the utmost contempt. It is pro bable the whole Irish contingent will be dismissed as worse than useless, or allowed to return whence they came. An order from the Papal Government, of the 17th inst., permits all Irish recruits who wish to quit the Pope's service, to do so. Lamoriciere has near Spoleto a corps of 10,000 men, Italians and foreigners; it is being rapidly reduced in number by desertions, and the foreign recruits can be as little relied on as the natives, who, it is added, desert by scores together. The appearance of Garibaldi on the coast would probably dissolve the Papal army without a battle. It is generally be lieved at Rome that Garibaldi's operations against Messina are a feint, to cover a greater enterprise. AUSTRIA. The Emperor of Austria arrived at T o plit z on the 24th. His interview with the Prince Regent of Prussia was expected to take place yesterday. The Vienna journals are occupied with discussions of the increased powers accorded to the Reichsrath, or Council of the Empire; these concessions are hailed as an important step towards the establish ment of a freer political system. The great advance in this direction is that the Council will now have a veto on measures proposed by the Goverment ; it had previously only the power of advising. The right of originating anv legislative measure is still withheld, and in certain cases, such as a danger of war, the Emperor can act without the intervention of the Council, or omit to call it together. It is reported in Berlin that the autograph letter of the Emperor of Austria to the Prince Regent of Prussia, expressing a wish for an interview, con tained a suggestion that the Sovereigns of some of the minor German States should be invited to Toplitz at the same time. The proposal, however, was not adopted. PRUSSIA. The Prussian Government has directed that in future all its military establishments are to be open to the inspection of any military officers of the other German States. In consequence of this order, artillery officers in the service of Baden, Wurtem berg, Saxony, Hanover, and Hesse are now in Berlin examining the Royal cannon foundries, an d attending the practice of the Prussian field artil lery. ness. FRANCE. It is certain that propositions for a suspension of hostilities have been made to Garibaldi by the Neapolitan Government, perhaps directly, but cer tainly also indirectly. The Envoy of the King of Naples at Turin made overtures of the same kind to M. Cavour, and M. Cavour has communicated them to Garibaldi, who will, in turn, pay little at tention to them, but go on his way. The armistice proposed by Naples was to last till some decision was come to in the matter of the alliance with Piedmont. The conditions agreed to by the latter were, as has been already said, the constitution of 1812 for Sicily, administration of public affairs left to the Sicilians themselves, and, in fact, every liberty and franchise conceded short of absolute separation from the Crown of Naples. Garibaldi, however, is not a man to retrace his steps even for all this; and it is generally believed that the King of Naples will, before many weeks pass by, have increased the list of exiled Italian princes.

Last night a grand performance was given at this house in aid of the fund being collected for the family of the late Mr. Robert Brough, to which nearly the principal theatres contributed their assistance. The farce of " Cruel to be Kind" was played by the Princess's company ; a selection from the Strand appeared in the " Last of the Pigtails ;" the " Milkmaid Scene" from the " Willow Copse" was given by Mrs. A. Mellon, Mr. Toole, and Mr. P. Bedford, from the Adelphi ; and Mr. Buckstone and certain members of his troupe appeared in " Fitzsmythe of Fitzsrnythe In addition to the professional performers, several ama teurs trod the boards. Mr. Leicester Buckingham recited the late Mr. R. Brough's delightful little poem of " Godiva" with admirable dramatic effect, and Mr. G. A. Sala de livered the following earnest address written by himself for the occasion : In triumph comes the Hero of the Day— Strong in the council, stronger in the fray ; See in his car the conqu'ror—not the slave ; See o'er his head the silken banners wave, Hear the loud trumpet's clangin g blast procla'm The grandeur of his exploits and his name. He comes 1 He comes 1 his brow with laurel crown'd ; Behind his chariot captive kings are bound. The town his advent surges forth to greet ; Maidens strew flowers 'neath his horses' feet; The rev'rend senator and holy priest Are proud to sit beneath him at the feast ' • The peasant leaves his plough, the dame her bower, To hail with shouts the Cmsar of the hour. • Yes ; Fame and Fortune now are in his hands. Who help'd to win them ? Yonder strong-limb'd bands, The well bronz'd legions tramping slowly by, Who marched with him to conquer or to die— Some have returned, unconquered, now, to share In ev'ry gift our gratitude can spare. At such proud moments darts there through one head One transient thought of yon poor conscript, dead ? Of yonder pale fac'd, well nigh beardless boy, Whom Nature seem'd to rear but to destroy ? He fought and bled. His valour helped to swell The glorious triumphs Cmsar bears so well. Nov his cold corse in some dark trench is laid, Or sleeps beneath some hedg'row's pitying shade. Too weak to cope in conflicts rude and rough, So thousands die, and so died Robert Brough. He was our conscript : fought the fight for years— Fought it in sickness, poverty, and tears ; Till Heaven was pleased his spirit to release, And hush those troubled waters into peace— To still that heart and sheath that dinted sword, To " break the bowl" and " loose the silver cord." He was our conscript : fearless in the strife, And patient in that long disease—his life. He drew the glaive, for justice, honour, truth ; Y. e fell a vet'ran, though in years a youth. He mov'd your mirth—nay, sometimes, too, your tears ; He wore your harness, bore your shield for years. His wit and fancy brought him nought but bread. Your soldier yet deserves a mite, though dead. The conscript's widow weeps, his children mourn; 'Tis yours to help the feeble, the forlorn. He never sought a mean or base reward; He never craved the bounty of my lord. We crave it now. For alms we humbly sue ; We hinge the knee, we bow the head, to you. We ask your charity. Not for ourselves— He needs it not who sternly digs and delves. But can those babies work ? Can your poor girl Battle with life, its warfare, and its whirl ? Ladies and gentles, we are in your hand, Upon your pitying hearts we take our stand. Grant us your sympathy, your voices too, Bear with us kindly. Think that all we do To win your praise, to deprecate your blame, Is humbly done in friendship's sacred name. Perhaps the most interesting feature of the evening was the performance of Mr. Brough's earliest dramatic effort, the burlesque of the " Enchanted Isle," the male characters in which were entirely sustained by amateurs—Messrs. George Cruickshank, L. Buckingham, F. Talfourd, and J. Hol lingshead being among the number. The part of Miranda was played by Miss Fanny Stirling, who made her debut in public, and who acquitted herself with a vivacity and a verve which fully merited the ovation awarded to her. Prior to the burlesque the following prologue, written by Mr. Shirley Brooks, was spoken by Mrs. Stirling : A loftier language, and a graver tone Than mine, have made our mournful story known. Yet pardon some few words that intervene As lighter prologue to a mirthful scene. Some tribute-words you'll let me pay, the while Our stage prepares to win your favouring smile. Who have more right to smiles than those who cheer To smiles the faces pale with sorrow's tear ? From that rich treasury whence the richest draw The boldest " instance" and the wisest " saw;" From those grand pictures, bright with freshest youth, Where endless fancy decks eternal truth ; From him who read all hearts and hopes and fears, As Newton read the mysteries of the spheres ; From that proud garden, whose exhaustless beds Have furnished garlands for a thousand heads— Our young, lost, poet borrowed, as of right, The forms to fill the scene we show to-night. Yet, be it said, and those who knew him best Would with their readiest voice my words attest, He borrowed from that store-house rich and free, Not in irreverence, but with frankest glee— Not as a giber, with his length of ear, Who seeks in noblest thoughts some theme for jeer, But as a child, who laughingly will dare Assume in sport a father's walk and air. There is a volume—might I wish it read, 'Tis Falstaff's Life—by him whose life hath fled That book our poet's memory bravely guards From charge of mockery of the Bard of Bards. So, on to •night's Revival deign to smile— Laugh at the whims of his Enchanted Isle; Remember that the work presented here (Shared by a brother whom you scarce can cheer) Was the first product of the buoyant brain That toil'd so well—that ne'er shall toil again The earliest laurel—the first victory won In that gay field of fancy, wit and fun, Where lie was sought, for many a joyous day, Nor sought in vain—till wasting life gave way. For your kind presence in those crowded ranks, There are four hearts that owe you deeepest thanks— But one is overcharged and hushed—and three Scarce know their debt—accept their thanks from me. We give, 0 gladly, friends, our art, and you Your generous aid. 'Tis all that each call do. Every line of this admirable address was delivered with thorough earnestness and point, and was received by the audience with acclamation. The house was very well filled, and we hope to hear that the fund has largely benefited by the performance. rri. I CIVIL LIST PENSIONS.

TUR.E. The 'Semi-Detached House. Edited by Lady Theresa Lewis. Bentley's Standard Novels. Richard Bentley. This delightful story has just appeared in Mr. Bentley's Novels, a series which has already included many popular works. The novel of " Rita," Anthony Trollope's " Three Clerks," and " Say and Seal," which has attained such an ex traordinary circulation in America, have been prominent among them. There could scarcely have been a happier selection than " The Semi- Detached House," which was one of the most successful, as well as the most pleasing, among last season's works of fiction. The freshness and ease of the style, the simplicity and total absence of pretension in the narrative, and the life-like variety of the characters, all combine to render it a most pleasant companion for a leisure hour. The vulgar assumption and heartless hypocrisy of the Samp sons are admirably contrasted with the honest, kindly, and simple Hopkinsons, and the frankness and affability of real nobility. Lady Chester is a charming character, notwithstanding her imagi nary troubles, and her Aunt Sarah is the impersonation of sound and sober sense. Lady Chester and her sister are occupants of the semi-detached house, during Lord Chester's absence on a foreign mission, which he has been persuaded to accept in the firstyear of his marriage, to the great regret of his young wife, Blanche. She is advised to leave London for a time, so takes up her abode in " the semi-detached house," prophesying dire ful things of her next door neighbours, who, she is sure, will be vulgar, meddlesome, disagreeable. people. However, she finds they are pleasant•, kindhearted, unaffected folks, and a warm friendship springs up between them. Many love affairs are carried on, in one of which Blanche plays tire part •of fairy godmother, and fortunately they all end happily. " The Semi-detached House" has al ready attained a considerable degree 0 1 1 favour among novel readers, and we could hardly imagine a pleasanter volume for the busy idle•aess of the sea-side or country house. Town and Forest. By the Author of " Mary Powell." Bentley, The author of " Mary " The Ladies, of Bever Hollow," and many another ple asan t an d profitable work, is so well known to the public, that a story from her pen scarcely needu the critic's recommendation. The work before us, however, is less a fictitious narrative than a. series of vivid pictures drawn from the scenes which lie around us even in this great and wealthy metropolis. The chief actors in the story are a poor city missionary, and a young brewer's clerk and his sister, with whom he lodges. The record of Mr. Bolter's life and labours among the filth, vice, and wretchedness of Hopkinsville are founded on fact, many of the incidents and anec dotes being authentic. By degrees he sees light breaking in on the scene of his labours, and hopes gradually to effect an improvement in the moral and. physical destitution of the people; but before his good work is accomplished he falls a victim to a fever caught among these miserable localities- Hopkinsville, the suburb he devotes himself to, is described as one of the results of railway enter prise, run up chiefly for the accommodation of those employed in the neighbourhood, with " only one entrance-door and passage to every four houses— neither drained, paved, nor lighted. These houses form numerous small streets, and contain do families of about a thousand men." No wonder after hearing similar details, that the friend to whom the missionary is describing the scene of his labours impetuously asks, "Have speculators a right, in the sight of Gcd, to build dwellings so , destitute of sanitary provisions, that sickness andt death are sure to ensue to the inhabitants ?" The forest also comes in for a share of Mr. Bolter's labours, and one of his most promising pupils is Pharoah Smith, a gipsy lad. Whether we coin cide in all the writer's views or no, it is impossible not to sympathise with her fervent sense of the miseries of her fellow creatures, and her earnest desire to aid them. Where there is such good and kindly feeling labouring in behalf of those who need it so deeply, surely technical differences of creed and opinion should not be over estimated. The follow ing passage, taken from a conversation between Mr. Bolter and a benevolent Quaker lady, ex presses the spirit of the work : " Yes," resumed she, " men are the chief want, and .the wonder is they don't come for ward. They will go on a forlorn hope to the North Pole, or penetrate Central Africa, for par' poses of science and commerce, nay, they will try to force Christianity into regions that as yet are really impenetrable, while they leave fearful amount of undone work at home. A Jew converted at Jerusalem is made much of ; are there no Jews in St. Mary Axe? An. enthusiastic young lady gets our Government into trouble by distribut ing the Scriptures in Italy against the law of the country : are there no Ro - man Catholics in Seven Dials ? A brave romantie man attempts to con vert the gipsies in Spain : are there none in Epping Forest? Truly, they may say to us, as my little boy did to his nurse, when she attempted to cut his meat, Interfere with thine own plate !' " Bolter could not help laughing. " A h," she con tinued, " for the man who aims to be, rather than appear to be, a hero, there is plenty of work at home. As one of your own writers has said, It is true that for the Golden Valley, he may have the Commercial Road ; he may have streets for vil lages, courts for hamlets, the pool for his nearest lake, the sewer for his rivulet, and the scum of all. the earth for his disciples; but such were the very scenes in which the Apostle of the Gentiles fought with beasts, and bearded the lion in his den. In the eyes of Heaven, smoke-stained walls are es bright as leafy groves, the dusty street as the flowery mead, and the artisan's wan child as the blooming village maiden.'"—" True, quite true, said Mr. Bolter, " and therefore I would not, if I could, exchange the fetid lanes of Hopkinsville for ' the glades of Hainault and Epping." Ellen Miller is a charming character and there is much pleasant conversation and anecdote in the, book. It is written in its author's usual easy an d unaffected style, though its purpose is earnest and its tone elevated. Should it be instrumental ill bringing home to the hearts of its readers a sense of the urgent need of their own countrymen and women for the aid so freely bestowed on the Hin doe and the African, it will indeed have accomplished a good work.
