We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. It is announced that the Prince President will receive the members of the Legislative Body en habit de vile, this evening, (Saturday), at St. Cloud. The Courrier du Nord states that a rumour pre vailed at Valenciennes of its being the intention of Louis Napoleon, after the deliberation of the Senate on the Empire to make a tour in the Northern de- Partments, and visit Amiens, Arras, Douai, Lille, Valenciennes, Cambray, and St. Quentin. The Progres du Pas de•Calais also mentions the ru mour, and even states that preparations to receive him have been commenced at Amiens. The Constitutionnel has the following, in reply to en article in the Times, on the release of Abd-el liader " Nothing is more difficult than to satisfy bad cha racters. Thwart them and they are in despair ; grant what they ask and the result is the same. We have an old proverb which is applicable to the case, which we will not repeat, but of which the Times every day remind s us. The English journal finds a means of teaming even the liberation of Ahd-el-Ketder. It is unnecessary for us to call to mind the long and ridiculous declamations of the English press on the sub ject or the detention 01 the Emir; if, therefore, there is a measure which they ought to applaud, it is the libera tion of the prisoner of Atnbeiae. The Times, however, throws out tire and flames, and discovers in this act of Lieli s Napoleon a fresh perfidy, and an indirect blow dealt against England. It reminds iti readers with hor ror of the words lac Francais which Louis Napoleon, making use of an expression of his uncle, has applied to the Mediterranean. That is the explanation of all the mystery. The coasts of France and Algeria already represent a great part of the shores of the Mediter ranean; French troops occupy the Ilotmn:Ststes; Greece is a hotbed of French intrigues; Louis Napoleon has assumed the character of protector of the holy places , Egypt is already our vassal, since the Pacha has made present to the President of three horses ' and Loui s Na poleon has returned the comp li ment by a service of Por celain. Nothing, therefore, remains free in the Medi terranean but what belongs to Turkey and England The Machiavelic ca l cu l ation of the President is this— . either Turkey will refuse to take charge of Abd-el- Kader and that will be an excellent pretext for taking Constantinople and Asia Minor, in order to punish the T ur ki s h Government for its' bad feeling— or Turkey will consent, and Abd-el Nader will not fail to escape, and Constantinople and Asia Minor will be taken, in order to punish Turkey for watching him so carelessly ; so that in every way Louis Napoleon is sure of attaining his object, which is, to set fire to all the nations on the shores of the Mediterranean. It is not necessary for us to say, that with a man who h,ss changed Rome, Greece, nefd Egypt into as many reach Pachalics, and who is with a turn of his hand to conquer ail Turkey, Malta and the lonian Islands would s tand but little chance. The release of Abd•el-liader is, therefore a measure directed against England. Why, we would ask, has the English journal so often called fur what now so much alarms it? We only mention such Pitiful remarks in order to show the bad faith with which re . " ve ry p act of the French Government is calumniated i ad In ord er t o bl ac k en F rance an d h er c hi e f, t h e ?felti journals neither hesitate at absurdity nor folly. have not the s li g ht es t care a b ou t t ranqu illi z i ng t h e T ,i _ ie s and the CoA r n e y e , w h o b e l ieve what it says.

The delegates from the Basque Fovinces and the commission appointed to consider along with them the question of the fueros met on the previous day for the first time. Nothing but formal business vas transacted. As the 17th was Suuday the Murse was closed. GERMANY. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Austria has fully approved of the preparatory labours relative to the political and commercial question that the Minis ter has transmitted to him. The system of customs unions, as laid down in the memorials of the years 1849 and 1850, will, it is said, be modified, so that from the lit of January, 1854, the Austrian Govern ment will be prepared to enter into a customs union with all the states that shall be willing to join it. The latest letters received at Trieste from Alex andria make no mention of the English expedition to the Persian Gulf. Most of the German States, and amongst them . Austria, B avar i a, W urtem b erg, t h e G ran d D uc h y o f Bad,-n, the two Hesses, Saxony, and flanow-r, have, in imitation of Prussia, resolved not to sign any pass ports fur workmen to go to Switzprland, and, ac cording to the Nuremberg Correspondent, they think of recalling the workmen who are already in that country. The reason assigned fur these measures . is to preserve the workmen from the schemes of the Socialists. ITALY. A letter from Rome of the 14th, in the Journal des Deibats, says :—" It is said here that Sir 11. Bulwer, whose health is delicate, and to whom the climate of Rome appears more favourable than that of Florence, intends prolonging his stay here, without, however, giving up his post of minister at the Court of Tus cany. Is this a new phase in the mission with which he has been charged to the Roman government ? That is not impossible, for time alone can now offer him any chance of success, and yet it is more than probable that be will not arrive at any conclusion. The Court of Rome is, with respect to England, in a posi tion good enough not to allow herself to be induced to quit it, and, in fact, the measures which have raised so much clamour in England have not the less received their application there. Some journals have presenied iu a false light the object of Cardinal llohenloh's mission to Vienna. The matter did not relate, as was said, to fix the indemnity to be paid by the Pontifical government to the Imperial army of occupation in the legations, since that indemnity has been long fixed and paid. The question was to ob tain a reduction of the amount paid. That reduction of about a million francs, has been conceded by the Emperor, being about the one-fifth part of the whole sum paid each year. The Duke of Modena has been passing some days here; he is returning from Naples to his own dominions." The Sardinian squadron anchored on the 15th in the roadstead of liyeres, under the command of Count de Persano. It consists of two frigates, a corvette, and three brigs, and is proceeding from Palma to Genoa. The Provincial Council of Vercelli (Piedmont) de cided, i❑ its sitting of the 18th, that it would contri bute 350,000 fr. towards the construction of the Ver celli and Casale railway line, and 150,000 fr. towards that of the Vercelli and Mortara line. The Giornale di Roma of the 14th contains a noti fication announcing that in consequence of the late concessions of the Pope notified by the Minister of Commerce o❑ the 9JI of August, a great fair is to be held at Terracina, which is to commence on the 2d of November, and end on the 16th of the same month. Letters from Rome of the 14th, in the Risorgimento of Turin, state that the ex2evationi commenced in the Forum of Rome have led to the discovery of the foun dations of the Julian basilica to the extent of about 100 yards in length, and 30 in breadth. The pave. went is of maJble of different kinds, including some large slabs of giallo antico, and the bases of several pilasters have been laid open. The Pope, who some days back gave the Cross of the Holy Sepulchre to a French painter, M. Dumas, author of the picture representing St. Peter and St. Paul going to martyrdom, has just conferred the Cross of St. Gregory on one of the French students at Rome, M. Andr6, architect of the monument raised to the memory of the French soldiers killed during the seige of Rome. SWITZERLAND. Th. Courr;ot 6'aissc of Ootober 18, says :—" The railway commission is definitely concluded, and signed both by the delegates of the central committee and by those of the government. The following are the lines agreed on—from Bale Campagne to Lower Hauen stein, by means of a tunnel to pass,the mountain there towards the frontier of Argau, betwee❑ Olten and Arbourg ; from Olten on the right bank of the Aar in an eastern direction towards Arau ; from Soleure in an eastern direction to the Berne frontier towards Ilerzogenbuchsee ; and from Soleure in a western direction on the left of the Aar to Bienne and Granges." DENMARK. The court .martial, which was summoned to try the prisoners who were accused of being engaged in the tumult between Holstein rifl,men and Danish soldiers at Christianhausen, has sentenced one rifleman to 16 days' imprisonment and military degradation to the second grade, a subaltern rifleman to a similar degra• dation, with 15 days' imprisonment ; a cornet to 15 stripes with the cane, 20 days' imprisonment on bread and water, and military degradation; and finally, two other subalterns to 5 days' incarceration in a dark dungeon. TURKEY. We have received accounts from Constantinople (says the Constilutionnel) to the 7th, via Germany, which, without announcing any solution relative to the loan, informs. us of the different phases through which it had passed. On the 6th, after leaving the Sultan, the Ministers went to the Porte, where they held en extraordinary council, and which several per sons who do not form part of the Cabinet were invited to attend. The sitting continued until night, but nothing was decided on. It was, however, said that a definitive decision would be conic to on the 9th. The French Ambassador had, it is said, pointed out to the Government the incalculable consequences and even the danger which would infallibly arise from a refusal of ratification. It was added, that he W2S in a few days to have an audience of the Sultan, and it was this step principally which was calculated on to shake the repugnance of the Palace. In the mean time the anxiety felt in the money market at Con stantinople cannot be conceived, much less described ; and as the houses which are not compromised directly , with the Bank are so indirectly by their business re lations with other houses, the panic is general. M. J. Alleon, one of the directors of the Bank, has tendered his resignation offering his fortune in payment of the sums which he has guaranteed. The Govern ment would not accept it, and has requested him to continue his functions, assuring him that everything would be arranged. M. E. Baltazzi, the other di rector, has not yet manifested his intentions. The affair of the customs becomes every day more gloomy; the deficit of M. Dj6zserli, the farmer-general, is es timated at 60 millions of piastres (15 millions of francs), and it is stated that the Council had decided that the Ex-Grand Vizier, Rechid Pacha, and the Ex-Minister of Finance, Hafiz-Pacha, should be held r e e h sp lra on tn s ee i r b i ;e itn f os or toh t f h e i ta s hffe s a u i m r. .

O ne ; c oo ' fellow, however, was less fortunate, for his foot wa: jammed between the buffers of two waggons and erns! . ed in a frightful manner. The poor fellow, whose name is Hetherington, was immediately taken to the Newark Dispensary. As both lines were completely blocked up, signalmen were sent in each direction to stop the trains, several of which were due and three down and two up trains were soon brought to a stand. Ultimately the line was cleared, and the trains departed. A LITERARY SOIREE AT HERTFORD took place on Thursday evening, the mayor in the chair , when Sir Edward Buiwm.

The first race on Monday, the 501. Handicap Plate, over the Cambridgeshire course, will be run at an early hour—one o'clock. This stake, together with the 25 sous liawdicep, D.M.; and the four 10 sous Sweepstakes respectively, run over the D.M.

Mr. Thomas Cubist, has been entrusted with the duty of carrying oat the design, the merit of which belongs to the office of Woods and Forests. The great advantage of the plan is, that while accommodation is afforded by it to a vast number of spectators—many more than it might have been expected the cathedral would cwitain—nearly all of them will have au oppor tunity of witnessing the ceremonial from their seats without difficulty. Tlh , known resources of Mr. Cubitt's establishment are a sufficient guarantee for the manner in which the work will be executed. All the timber PURCHASE OF THE LAND FM? THE NEW NATIONAL GALLERIES. Thd Royal Commissioners, who were constituted a permanent body by a charter granted by Her Ma jesty immediately on the closing of the Great Exhi bition, have recently completed some very large pur chases of land, which it is understood are to be applied to the above object, in combination with museums such as that now at Marlborough-house, or generally for the promotion of arts, rnanufactures,atzd commerce. The charter referred to gave power to appropriate the surplus derived from the Great Exhibition to such purposes, but the extent even of the land purchases must hlve already exhausted that surplus, and the nation will have to supply the rtqaisite funds fur all that is to follow. used—upwards of 500 loads is the estimated quantity— will be of ;he finest description, and the supervision of the works is already conducted exactly as if a permanent building were in the course of erection. The ceremony of rho lying in state" will, it is under stood, be carried out upon a scale of aingeiticence never hrlort, att, mpted in thin cou❑try, or poi haps even in Europe. Chelsea College has been selected af, the loca?e, tied probably a more judicious selection could scarcely have been made. For convenience of arrangement arid leeelity, it may fairly hold comparison with any other building in or neer London, whilst its appropriateness as the haven of our old military warriors will be at once readily admitted. The building consists chiefly of is central apartment of octagonal form, opening eu the one side into the Great Hail, and on the other into the chapil of the college. The whole of this range will be fitted up in an appropriate manner, the walls and every portion of the building being draped and festooned with black cloth, and other appropriate funereal emblems. The Great Hall, where the " lying in state" will take place, is an apartment of noble dimensions, 150 feat long by nearly 50 broad and 40 high. The Marquis of Exe ter, as her Majesty's Lord Chamberlain, has the dirco tion of this portion of the ceremonial. His lordship, naturally anxious that so important a feature in the national tribute to the memory of the great duke ; should be at once worthy of the country and the man, wisely placed the matter in the hands of one of the first architects and artists of the day, Professor Cock erell, R.A., who in the kindest manner consented to act, and at once prepared a series of elaborate and very beautiful sketches. These designs have already received the warm approval of her Majesty and Prince Albert, and the progress of the works is only delayed by the care necessary in•the removal of those time-honoured relics, in the shape of captured flags, with which the walls of the old hall are hung. Many of these flags were taken in the Duke of Wellington's own battles, and it is intended that all these shall be introduced in the decoration of the chamber, after the walls have been draped. Colonel Sir John Morilyon Wilson, C 8., K.H., adjutant of the Royal Hospital, who was present in many hard-fought actions with the Duke, has kindly undertaken the re-arrange ment of these interesting relies. The catafalque on which the coffin will rest is to be placed at one end of the hall, opposite to the door through which the public will be admitted. The windows will be all dark, and the only light obtained will be from colossal wax candles contained in silvered candelabra, fourteen feet high, of which there are nearly one hundred placed at stated intervals along the ball, which will be lined with men of the Grenadier Guards (the Duke's regiment) with their arms reversed. The period that has elapsed since the Duke's death has been occupied to very great advan tage by the Earl Marshal and his assistants in the Col lege of Arms. The heraldic and armorial decorations have been arranged with the greatest possible accuracy, and it is believed the effect of this portion of the cere monial will far exceed anything of the kind witnessed of late years. Sir Charles Young, Garter King-at-Arms, is devoting himself to the completion of all the important matters coming within his department. In consequence of the elaborate nature of the prepara tions it is understood that great doubt exists as to the precise period of their completion. The interest taken in all that belongs to the ceremonial by her Majesty and Prince Albert leads to a presumption that nothing will be allowed to be imperfectly done, and it is therefore more than probable that the date of the funeral may even yet be deferred beyond the day already fixed. It is understood that her Majesty will attend the ceremo nial of the " lying in state" in person, and that the period during which the public will be allowed to view it is ill be increased from three to six days. Even under this arrangement there will no doubt be many and serious disappointments. The interest felt throughout the country in the matter is already beginning to mani fest itself, and excursion trains are advertised to run daily during the ceremonial from all the important towns in the kingdom. The public will be admitted without Tho Criterion Stakes, of 30 soya each, 20 ft.— from the turn of the lands, in five furlongs 184 yards, and all on the rise —will, in all human likelihood, be contested by SittingbJurne, Bst 131 b ; Filbert, Bst 71b ; Anglo-Saxon. Bst 7 ih ; Bst 7lb ; Speed-the Plough, B,A 71h ; and perhapi an other. Mr. Bowes' West aiis:ralian, I believe, will not start ; and I think it very dubious whether either Sylphine or North Pole goes to the post. Cheddar has been for some time set down as a non-starter. The first and second places, I think, will be filled by FILBERT and SITTINGBOURNE, Anglo-Saxon being in very close attendance. This last-named horse is decidedly the beat of Mr. Jaques' Derby lot ; and some twelve months ago great things were expected of him. It is a curious tact, and well worth recording—what the dealer in omens may think of it I know not, but merely chronicle the fact—that the winner of the Criterion Stakes—the very likeliest test upon the Turf for Epsom, being a steady rise from beginning to end—has never in twenty two encounters carried off the Derby ; although there are a couple of conquerors of the St. Leger enrolled amongst their number. In 1829, Variation (second) won the Oaks. In 1831, Margrave, its winner, swept the St. Leger. In 1834, the Victrix, Preserve, was landed second for the Oaks. In 1835, Elis won this stake and the St. Leger. In 1839, Crucifix, with the steadying weight of 9st. up ran a dead beat with Gibraltar, Bst 71b, and bore away the Oaks. In 1840, Ralph was landed here a winner, and was, no doubt, the second best horse who ran for the following Derby. In 1843, Ratan was the first horse that caught the judge's eye; and what might have been the Epsom issue but for the Bunning Rein fracas, and other un pleasant matters, no man of the present generation can take upon himself to affirm. In 1845, Sting, with 71b extra, was the victor; and that he was beyond all doubt the best three-years old, and on his merits should have carried off both Derby and St. Leger, nobody can deny. In 1846, Mr. Payne's Clementina, the winner hero, ran each, one,giosw, second for the Oaks; and in 1849 , Pitsford, second,:in the Criterion, occupied a like p osition in the Derby. , Bst 81b, vo enough to beat the Duke of Bedford's Match, 100, ft, Bst Cons trheinu sk o i n r j a eu e ra y . t good enoughfilly, although thoroughD M. L b o a r d d Match, 100 h ft, T.Y.C. Th e Duke's G os sip Gla a will find plenty of work to d o to beat Waln ut , at 7st The site chosen for the realization of all this is at Kensington gore. Behind Gore:-house and the line of houses which stretches almost uninterruptedly from the new houses of HO') Park-terrace up to Kensington turnpike is an ext , nAive tract of land, now principally occupied as marker-gardens, except that part of it which abuts westward on the road called Gloucester-road, in which Mr. Canning's house and grounds, called Gloc.ester-lodge, were situated. Most of this land belonged to the Thiron de Villars and Lord Harrington, though a portion of some ex tent on the north side, near the Kensington-road, was the property of the parish of St. Margaret, Westminster. The whole site is very beautifully disposed, gradually sloping to the south from the high ground of Hyde Park down to the Old Brompton-road. Great part of this land, in the time of the Commonwealth, belonged to the Pro tector, and his name is still preserved in " Cromwell's lane" and " Cromwell-house," though, except garden walls of great strength and solidity, there are no re mains of his time. The lower part of the land is familiarly termed " Brompton-grove," and is orna mented with some really fine timber in the gardens and grounds still remaining on tie southern part of the estate. The first tract of land obtained by the Commissioners was from the trustees of the parish of St. Margaret, 'Westminster, from whom it is under stood 20 acres were obtained, at a cost of 60,000., or thereabouts ; but the principal purchase (a very recent one) is from the Baron de Villars, who has sold 48 acres of land to the Commissioners for the large sum of 150,0001. For some smaller purchases to complete the boundary as much as 4,0001. per acre has been asked, and, we believe, given. The general scheme we understand to be this, — About 200 yards on this side of the turnpike at Ken sington a road is to be cut, 100 feet wide, from Ken sington-gore to Brompton, coming out a t th e b ack of Onslow-square. This road will furnish an enormous frontage for the new galleries to the west, and the facade will return at the south end t o any depth re quired. The quantity of land secured will also allow of ornamental grounds around the building to a cam siderable extent._ 121 b. - - Match, 100 h ft, D.I, Dromcdia, Bst 71b, a ga i ns t Warbler, Bst, will terminate, I fancy, in favour of the former.

It has been stated that the procession on the following morning will move from this point. There appears, however, to be some doubt about this. In the Eerl Marshal's office precedents are al lowed to have their full weight, and in this case it is considered that the body of England's greatest naval hero having rested one night at the Admiralty previously to its interment, so also that of her greatest warrior should repose under the roof where his talents and his experience have proved of such incalculable advantage to his country. On the other hand, it is urged that Nelson had no residence in London—that his home was upon the ocean in his good ship Victory, and hence the ne cessity arose for allowing his remains to repose one night at the Admiralty, after their removal from Green wich. Wellington, it is observed, had a mansion, henceforth celebrated in history ; and where could his body more appropriately rest, previously to his final deposition in the tomb, than in his own Waterloo gal lery ? It is even urged that, out of deference to the feelings of the Duke's family, his remains should be allowed to pass the night previously to their inter ment under the root of Apsley House. Whatever course may be ultimately determined on, it is clear that at the present moment uncertainty exists on this point. It is moreover generally understood that a strong pressure is being made upon the Government by parties of high rank, who are disappointed at the cur tailment of the space over which the procession will pass. A noble duke resident in Piccadilly is said to have invited more than 200 friends to view the proces sion from his mansion, anticipating its departure from Apsley House. Another instance of disappointment has arisen at the United Service Club, the whole front of whose mansion had actually been ordered to be fitted up for the accommodation of their members. Under present arrangements the body of the Duke will be removed from Chelsea College to the Horse Guards on the evening previous to the funeral. The military allowed to take part in the procession will as semble on the parade ground at an early hour; and here also the foreign ministers, peers, members of the House of Commons, &c., invited to take part, will be marshalled. The body will be conveyed on a funeral car, executed after a very elaborate and beautiful design which has also been approved of by Prince Albert. The details of the procession have not yet been finally Match, 300 h ft, T.Y.C.

The extensive character of the ceremonial has induced the Lord Chamberlain to divide the responsibility of its successful carrying out between two of the most cele brated London establishments. Messrs. Dowbiggen and Hollands, the private upholsterers of the late Duke, are entrusted with the removal of the body from Walmer to Chelsea Hospital, and all the arrangements in con nection with the " lying in state "at that place. m ro t Chelsea Hospital, Messrs Bauting an d Son, of St. James's-street, who have held the appointment of up holsterers to the royal household for more than halt a century, will take charge of the body, and conduct the proceedings of the following day to the final deposition of the remains to the tomb.

It has already been made known that the Lord Mayor's dinner has been postponed from the usual to some future day, to bo named by her Majesty's Ministers, By the accompanying resolution it will be seen that the master (Mr. Richards) and wardens of the Merchant Tailors' Company have also postponed their annual banquet until after the funeral of the late Duke of Wellington:—" Resolved unanimously, That this Court, impressed with a deep sense of the severe and irreparable loss which they, in common with the nation at large, have sustained by the lamented decease of Field Marshal his Grace the Duke of Wellington, desire to record the expression of their sincere feelings of reverence and respect to the memory of the illus trious deceased, whose long and eventful life was inva riably and successfully dedicated to the service of his country ; whose brilliant achievements as a warrior, dis tinguished for his great moral firmness and high sense of duty, inspired confidence and enthusiasm in the field, and secured for him the confidence of his Sovereign, the gratitude of his country, and the admiration and respect of every nation. That, while sincerely deploring the mournful event which has deprived England of her greatest son, the Court are not insensible to the distin guished honour, which, in the memorable year 1814, was conferred upon them by having the illustrious name of ' Wellington' recorded under his own hand among the honorary members of the company, and enrolled in the Chamber of London, at Guildhall, upon receiving the freedom of this great city, as a citizen and merchant tailor ; nor can this Court fail to bear in remembrance, with feelings of pride and gratification, that the last visit of the illustrious deceased to participate in the hospi- Fie te ld r_ta l l i n ar f s o li r ai th h e was upon the occasion of his bo for the Royal Highness Prince Albert, her Majesty's Consort, held in t e a i l t i i t z i rn s and of thecomp honouring the company with his presence at dinner in their inoo Hall, on the 11th of June, 1849.

LITERATURE. Slackens' Iland Book lo the Practice of the Common Law Procedure Act and Bankruptcy. Waterlow - - and Sons, London Wall. The 24th instant will become memorable in the annals of legal jurisprudence, for on that day comes into operation the Common Law Procedure Act, and with it the downfall of special demurrers, long and craftily contrived pleadings, jury process, distringas and a host of lumbering forms and tricky technicaii ties, which tended to retard, and not to facilitatils the speedy administration of justice. The pleaders, one and all, may now exclaim, " Othello's occupa tion's gone;" but if we mistake not, the new Act will furnish many points of difficulty, in practice, for the ingenuity and talent of these learned pundits. Among the many works that have been recently published o n th e su bj ect, t h ere i s one by „ M r. S toc k en , which displ a y s great assiduity and research. The author is evidently a practic.il man, and well expe rienced in his prolesion: he has digested the various sections of the Act in a masterly manner, and his notes comprise a great number of important sugges tions for working out the new statute. Stc'ckcn's Hand Book is a valuable addition to the library of i be cominon law lawyer, sod will prove a useffil cona pinion to the country practitioner. The w or k, la ;I,ldition to the ns.w statute, gives, in extPneo, the Evidence and Absconding Debtor's Acts, and the mode of proceeding thereunder, with the practice and decisions relating to trader, debtors, suinnionses, judges' orders, removal of plaints, nod appeals from county courts. The whole is interspersed with co pious notes, analytical and explanatory, and forms a volume that may be consulted with advantage both by practitioner and student. THE QUARTERLIES. The Quarterly Review. No. CLXXXII. Murray. Reference, as in regard to the foregoing periodical, has already been made by us, in our leading columns to the political paper contained in the current number of the Quarterly. We have spoken in terms suoh as we cannot but conceive to be of deserved reprehension when alluding to the view taken by our Tory con temporary of the " Parliamentary Prospects"—a view calculated, we conceive, to imbitter the feelings of faction, and to throw impediments in the way of the more patriotic and enlightened members of the Derby Government. The object of the reviewer would seem to be that of infuriating rather than of conciliating the opposition. The old brand of insult —flaming as furiously as ever with sectarian bigotry —is flung once more with, as it were, a shout of in solent defiance, into the inflammable arena of Ireland. Never was such insensate folly—folly so preposter ously calculated to rouse the worst passions of the community, and to make the vast majority of the people of the United Kingdom look with suspicion, if not with actual hatred, at the existing Government. As we have already intimated, however, we cannot for an instant conjecture that the opinions here ex pressed by the Quarterly are those entertained by the principal members of the Derby Administration, If they are, the Cabinet is doomed to a very speedy dissolution. Enough of this, however, and more than enough. Lawyers will turn with interest to the paper on " Lord Langdale ;" and ecclesiastics, and lovers of virtue, and admirers of oratory, will peruse with emotion the chapter dedicated to the analysis of the intellect of "Dr. Chalmers." The contribution upon the subject of " Gold Discoveries" comprises a mass: of valuable information about the diggings of California, and those also of Australia. Political eco nomists may be judiciously recommended to coon the argument having reference apparently to the " Irish Salmon," and to nothing else, but one which embraces within its range the whole of the important question of the protection and the cultivation of the British Fisheries. Many besides Sir Charles Napier will find matter of interest in the article on " Scinde," while Sir Henry Ward will assuredly be not the only one disposed to peruse with attention the remarkable chapter upon the "lonian Islands." A very singular and philosophical paper upon " British Bards and Stonehenge" will be examined, we doubt not, with pleasurable surprise by many an antiquarian. The following conjectures as to the Greek origin of the mythology, and the worship, and the very language of the Druids, are, to say the least of them, remark ably ingenious : ;Perhaps even the boldest speculations of men of genius are seldom utterly wrong. The strange conjec ture of Inigo Jones, about a temple open to the sky in honour of Jupiter Celsius, may have been in this sense correct, that in such circles, nudaque sub athoris axe, were worshipped, and perhaps represented, the element ary powers of nature. It requires scarcely a step to con sider such a temple as sacred to Apollo, the god of day. Nor does it appear, after all, that there is any absurdity in supposing some such megalithic structures in Britain to have originated the floating legends which pissed from mouth to mouth at a period earlier than Herodotus, and for a century later, of a certain northern people, who dwelt happily, and wore worshippers of Apollo. For the island in which Hecalatos place) his happy dwellers beyound the north wind is described as ' beyond Celtica,' which, with deference to Mr. Herbert, wo think it no breach of taith to translate Gaul. 'That is nearly the situation wo want. The same people had a magnificent grove.' So far the Druids correspond. They had also a round temple: this might serve as a description either Avebury or Stonehenge. Again, they had a certain peculiar dialect; '—let any modern Greek pronounce whether the Welsh language would not to his ear suffi ciently bear out this description. At the same time, they had ofTerit gs with Greek letters ;'—and they use Greek letters are Cas3ar's words of the Druids. But they even understood the astronomical cycle introduced at A►`hens by Meton: strange as this may at first sound, when applied to the supposed barbarism of our ancestors, perhaps the multa de siderum wotu may be held to indi cate that it is not really inapplicable. There are other points of correspondence. The island, for,gexample, is compared in point of size to Sicily—a comparison, which, if intended of Britain, would be sufficiently accurate for Greek legend, though not nearly so appropriate as what is also said of climate. For it was the singular felicity of the Hyperboreans that they lived sufficiently far north to be beyond the cradle of the north wind ; their island was mild; so our physical geographers still remark that our climate is, from oceanic causes, far more temperate than that of the continent in the same latitude. So many points of correspondence ought to have been considered with more respect. The sacrifice of asses may have been either a local peculiarity or a Greek misconception. - - Further on, the reviewer says— " AVe cannot doubt that there were Sillburys and Aveburys which have the same kind of analogy to Argos and Dodrus as the British Channel does to the Mediterranean." The contribution is scholarly throughout, and consti tutes a brilliant introduction to the number of the Quarterly for October. The New Quarterly Review. No. IV. Hookham.

Always correct in ude nt, we j co uld scarcely expect the New Quarterly to be—but at any rate it seems to us upon almost every occasion —even painstakingly conscientious. About half-a dozen articles of larger consequence than the rest, in troduce the more hastily written notices of a miscella neous character.
