In London, the yearly election of Mayor Is counted a very important affair ; Each man ham his friends who suiwort him right hearty, And Oitell has his foes, just according to party. But party is out of the question with us ; We have nothing to do with the candidates thus. We don't have a wish ('tisn't right that we should) To meddle with Carroll, or Hooper, or Wood. In fact, this selection of subject is made With a view just to hint at the Lord Mayor of Trade. 'Tis MOSES. in this sense, that's Mayor of the City ; Let's sing hint a " Car-r-cd-/," let's sing him a ditty. While Lord Mayors in general only appear As *" Majesties" during the space of a year, The Lord Mayor of Tra le, through the fame ho has earn'd, Is year after year to his °thee return'd. When MOSES solicits the public support His canvassing battle Is easily fought, For no competition can stand in the way, But MOSES is certain of gaining the day. Yes, MOSES, fam'd MOSES, elicits the votes On account of his trewsers, his waistcoats, and coats ; And ev'ry one shouts, " Lend your •id ! lend your aid !" That MOSES may still be the Lord Mayor of Trade. LIST or PRICES. 'JUDY 114.1 n. • !

The Harwich Steam Packet Company is formed for the purpose of establishing steam communication with the ports of Northern Germany, Holland, and Belgium, by which a considerable saving of time and expense will be effected in voyages to and from those ports. _ _ Itis intended to provide powerful steam boats, built en the most improved principles in respect of construction and engines, replete with every possib'e convenience and comfort, and adapted to the ample accommodation of passengers ; and that they shall also carry a limited quantity of suitable cargo. The expected traffic by the steamers has been ascertained from the most correct data procurable, and the Tables of Traffic framed with the greatest care ; and from the calculations made, the receipts of the Steam Packet Company, after making ample dedu lion for ex penses, will produce at least 7 per cent. upon the capital. In addi tion to this, the calculations show that the Eastern Counties and Eastern Union Railway Companies will be largely benefited by an important increase of reventte to their respective railways. Arrangements have been made with the Eastern Counties and Eastern Union Railway Companies, by which the Proprietors of the Steam Packet Company will receive a Dividend of not less than 5 per cent. per annu n on their subscriptions; and therefore the Shares will be distributed among the Proprietors of those two Railway Companies cad of the Northern and Eastern, and Ipswich and Bury St. Edmund's Railway Companies, in the proportion of 24,000 Shares to the Eastern Counties and Northern and Eastern Railway Compa nies, and 6,000 Shares to the Eastern Union and Ipswich and Bury St Edmund's Railway Companies. The registered Proprietors of the said several Railway Companies desirous of participating in the benefits of this undertaking, are re quested to signify their intention to take tile shares allotted to them by paying the deposit thereon to either of the Company's bankers. The proportion of the Harwich Steam Packet Company's Shares for the holders of the new 141. 16s. Shares in the Eastern Counties Rail way Company, and for the holders of Scrip Shares in the northern and Eastern Railway Company, will he set apart for them, and each holder, on transmitting his Scrip to the office of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, and requesting an allotment of shares, will re ceive a letter of allotment accordingly. The shares not applied for on or before the 10th day of October next by such Scrimiolders, will be allotted by the Directors to such other persons as shall appear to be most eligible.

Some portion of the news has already been laid before the readrr through different channels and in a thtferent shape. One of our correspondent:, who emphatically characterises Sind,: as " the land of death and desola tion," affords us some particulars relative to the lament able effects (If cholera in her Majesty's 36th, which it is well worth our while to transcribe. lie observes that the unfOrtunate regiment in question is very nearly destroyed, and that it will take. a long time to renovate it at all. On the 14th of June the disease broke out in its ranks with such violence that on the following day upwards of 70 men were buried, 60 on the 16th, and 54 on the 17th, making a total of 184 men in three days I The loss up to the date of our friend's letter was as follows : _ Sergeants ... ... Corporals ... ... Drummers ... ... Privates ... ... Women ... ... Children ... Total ... ..• 276 There were, besides, between 70 and 80 in hospital. All the staff sergeants had died, with the exception of the quartermaster-sergeant and armourer. The regiment had lost its sergeant-major, band sergeant, paymaster's clerk, orderly room clerk, mater tailor, schoolmaster sergeant, and hospital sergeant; a sad blow to this un fortunate corps. Strange to say, those who fell victims to the scourge were principally the finest, strongest, and the most powerful men in the regiment; the weak men, and patients who were in hospital, almost all recovered. Of thirty-four grenadiers who died in four days, the average height was a fraction more or less than six feet; in fact, the front rank of that company had been mown down as if by a chain shot. Nine of the band had died. No fresh cases had occurred since the 12th, when three were admitted, one of which proved fatal. The weather had improved, but was still very hot. It was com puted that at least 9,000 native,' had died in and about Kurrachee. The Fusiliers and Rifles had lost altogether between 90 and 100 men each, the 12th Native Infantry about 80 or 90; the Beloochee battalion upwards of 100. The 3d Native Infantry had been more for tunate, having lost only about 50 men, but the disease had not yet left them. Only three officers in all had died, viz., Captain Seton, of the Fusiliers, Lieutenant Dawson, of the 12th Native Infantry, and the Governor's nephew, Captain J. M. Napier. The conduct of the officers of her Majesty's BGth, during the dreadful scenes that took place while the pestilence lasted, is described to have been most exemplary. From morning to night they were constantly in the hospital, endeavonring to keep up the spirits of the men, who were enthusiastic in their expressions of g ratitude for such attention. Many of the unhappy sufferers are said to have expired without pain ; they merely complained of being sick, lay down, and died ! One of our inform ants states that it was more like a plague than anything else, so rapid and awful was the mortality—so in exorable the Angel of Death. It is supposed, as stated by us on Monday, the scarcity and badness of the food procurable at Kurrachee were the chief cause of the malignity of the cholera. " The congregating," says a correspondent, " such an immense force of Europeans at Kurrachee was, without exception, the most foolish act ever perpetrated—particularly during the hot season, and with two regiments under canvas. The resources of the place were wholly inadequate to their support, and the consequence was, that for a month before the pestilence broke out, nothing but common carrion could be purchased in the bazaar. The food, there fore, given to the men was of the worst description, and although, had it been better, cholera would still have appeared; yet the want of proper nourishment predis posed the men to the disease, and consequently the mortality was infinitely greater than it otherwise would have been. One proof of this is to be found in the es cape, in a great measure, of the officers, who of course procured comparatively wholesome food, and out of 180, only six were attacked, one of whom (Captain Napier) having been in such a state of ill health pre viously that the slightest disease, of any kind, would have carried him off. The circumstance of her Ma jesty's 86th having suffered to a greater extent than the other regiments, is to be attributed to the fact that they had been more than two years and a half in Sinde—had been stationed at Hyderabad during the hot season of 1844, where they buried in one month upwards of 20 men, struck dead by the sun—and had returned to Kurrachee in August more like invalids than working men. They had marched: nearly 1,290 miles to Bhawulpore and back, were nearly four months under canvas, and on their arrival at Kurrachee, in stead of being placed in the barracks they had for merly vacated, and to the occupation of which their long and arduous march certainly entitled them, they had been again put in tents. Their constitutions, previously weakened by the climate and the march, could not bear up against the disease, and the mortality amongst them was consequently more than double that of any other regiment. The survivors seemed, on parade, more like patients discharged from a fever hospital than the soldiers of probably the finest regiment (certainly in point of men) that ever landed in 'cilia. Ilad the corps been sent to Bombay or Poonah, previous to the close of the season—and for which there was plenty of time—all the horrors it has sustained, and the dreadful loss it has suffered, migle,have been spared it. Colonel Derinzey, we regret to hear, has been exceed ingly ill ever since the cholera broke out, and it is doubted whether he will be able to do duty with the 86th again." A correspondent mentions that Sir Charles Napier had a meeting of all the medical men at Government house on the 16th, for the purpose of inspecting and examining the different articles of beer, brandy, &e., given to the men. The result is not stated. The men had been previously restricted to two drachms of arrack per diem, which, as a matter of course, had produced much grumbling. Her Majesty's 17th at Sukkur were very sickly. They were to start from that place for Kurrachee on the Ist instant. One of our letters remarks :—" Should the cholera catch them on the way, they will be annihilated as their strength is completely prostrated from the effects of the tremendous heat." Supplies of all sorts were, it is needless to say, extremely scarce and dear, and the lack of the necessaries of life was likely to be still further increased on the arrival of the 17th. "Ere long," says a correspondent, " the Commissariat folks assure us we shall be obliged to eat one another !"—Bombay Tele graph, August 5. There is considerable excitement amongst the troops in Sinde, who expect, as a Bengal army is to be as sembled on the banks of the rivers Sutlej and Bess, that they will be called on to move this season to Inawulpore in the same manner as they did last year. The prospect of the capture of Mooltan is sufficiently encouraging. That city will soon form one of the chief British entrepOts in the west of India.--Gentleman's Gazette, August 18. Lall Singh promised his attention to the matter on the morrow. Sirdar Sultan Mahomed Khan, Barrukzie, being present, stated before the Sirkar that Futteh Khan, Tawaonah, was a faithful servant to the Sirlear, that Futteli Khan, Lon, and Shore Mahomed were his personal enemies; that their representations were of the most interested description, and th -a if the territory lately iii dispute were not left cot rely to the manage ment of the Tawannab, there was ne chance of tran quillity prevailing amongst the people. Raja Lell Singh replied, that as the best way to put an end to the dis putes, the Sirkar had resumed the country, but if, on examieation it were found that the Sirdar's re presentations were correct, the territory should be again made over to Futteh Khan. Assa nund, agent to the Dewan Moolraj, Nizam of Mooltan, who had gone to the agent of the Governor- General, to represent the situation in which his master was placed, has returned to Lahore. He was received at the 'Surber, presented a nuzzur of five rupees and had a long private conference with Raja Lall Singh. It is reported that he has brought letters from the Bri tish authorities to Raja Lall Singh, to the effect that the Raja had much better leave matters as they were in Illooltan, taking only w h at was rea lly due to the Sirkar, and leaving all former accounts to be settled by the Ma haraja himself when he should be capable of managing his own affairs. I cannot say how far this may be true, but it is stated that the communication of Assanund had a sensible effect on Raja Lall Singh, who appeared to rise from the conference greatly dispirited. He imme diately sent for Lalla Jussmull, the Mooltan Vakeel at ; Lahore, and held a long conference with him. It was then ordered that a purwannah should be addressed to Dewar) Moolraj containing assurances of the gooodwill of the Sirkar! The Suwars of the Moohajeea Dhera, who had gone to the agent of the Governor-General, have returned, and the Dufterees have since received in• structions to pay them. JULY 23.—Another purwannah was this day ordered to be written to Dewan Moolraj, stating that accounts had been received in Lahore of some disturbances having taken place in certain parts of Mooltan, consequent on the careless nature of his government, and that he should devote his immediate attention to the putting down of the same, conducting himself in all respects as a faithful servant of the Sirltar. Ha was at the same time in formed that the matters in dispute between the Sirkar and himself would be speedily brought to a favourable issue, and that his Vakeel dussmull should be made fully aware of everything. A news-letter has arrived from the camp of Misr Bhugwan Singh, in , r which it is stated that he had deputed a detachment under Khuzan Singh, Chajeea, towards Munkera, to take charge of that fort, and to settle the country in its neigh bourhood. The letter further went on to say, that when the Chajeea had arrived within a few koss of Munkera, the Killedar intimated his intention of offering resistance, being supported by a party sent by Dewan Moolraj to his assistance. Khuzan Singh hearing this halted where he was, and wrote to the Misr for further instructions. The Misr bade him remain on his present ground till further orders. Raja Lall Singh, hearing this, dispatched a pur wannah to Misr Bhugwan Singh, stating that as there was every prospect of the disputes with Moolraj being speedily adjusted keen amicable manner, he must desire Khuzan Singh to retire some distance pending further instructions. Sirdar Heera Singh has received the title deeds of the Goojranwallah Jaglieer. The Vakeel of Tej Chund, Kardar, represented that Sirdar Heera Singh had seized two or three Sirkaree villages, a matter in which the Kardar did n it think proper to interfere. Hurput Rae, the Sirkar's Vakeel, was immediately sent for, asked to meet the accusation, and desired to write to his master to give up the villages immediately. Dewan Deena Nath this day produced a number of office papers bearing the seals of Maharaja Runjeet Singh, Kurruck Singh, and Shere Singh, and recommended that they should be forwarded to the British authorities, which was done forthwith. Sirdar Tej Singh repre sented that General Sultan Maimood had requested his intercession respecting a jagheer, on which one of 10,000 rupees was bestowed on hiin.—De/hi Gazette, Aug. 1. Our Lahore letters are more eventful than usual. We regret to hear that her Majesty's 80th Foot have lost several men from apoplexy, and that the Artillery also have suffered. A medical friend tell us, that the European soldiers expose themselves too frequently to the influence of the midday sun, which at this season of the year is more powerful perhaps than at any other, and that in many cases these deaths are thereto attributable. The svoys wore very healthy at Lahore, and on the whole the officers bear the climate well. The heat is described as intense at times. We are told that the bulk of the Seikh army is scat tered over the country round about Umritser and Lahore, ready to concentrate the moment we cross the river, should that ever take place. Meantime all is still, and the neighbourhood is as quiet as could be wished. The hordes of Akhalees, who came for their back pay, were very orderly and well behaved, and by no means clamorous or turbulent. Lall Singh at first wanted to put them off, if not set aside their claims by intimida tion, but he evidently found that that would not do. and so resorted to other means to appease them. What these means were our letters do not say, but we are told the " immortal" ones have dispersed. It is ascertained that a few only of the Seikh soldiers went to Junamoo; some are located for the present at Peshawur, and others have taken up their abode in Mool tan, but the bulk still hover on or near the Revco. It is generally "believed" in Lahore, that in October the forces will move into camp outside the city, and that after an interval, which, according to circumstances, may be longer or shorter, they will march into the dosb, and there await whatever duty fate may design for fulfilment. For our own part we fear, and we have reason to do so, that a subsidiary force will be organised in the Punjaub! For the Ranee and for Lall Singh it will be the best thing that could pos.ibly be devised. For the interests of the company, and for the welfare of the people, it will he about the worst measure that ever was conceived. Ono of our correspondents says, that of all the Seikhs, Punjaubees, and men of Hindostan, with whom he has conversed," there is not a man who believes Lall Singh would live a month after the withdrawal of our forces," and that " the universal wish seems to be that we should take the country." We can easily understand the feelings which prompts the expression of this de - sire; but it is unnecessary for us to repeat what we have so often urged, and therefore we return to abstract from our letters the items which have been kindly communi cated unto us. A report prevailed a short time ago, that a very se rious row had taken place at Jurnmoo, in which some mischief had befallen to Captains Broome and Nichol sod—of what nature was not stated. It turns out, how ever, that the rumour was utterly unfounded. It was communicated to, us at the time it was current, but we had reason to believe it a mere rumour, and therefore suppressed it. It is considered at Lahore that Lall Singh did not ex actly do the thing he ought to have done in receiving at court the Killedar of Rote Kaugra, and presenting him with a horse. A friend at Lahore had heard that they were all at loggerheads in Caubul. The Ameer and his son had quarrelled, it was said, and the latter was off to Buk hara. Other letters, dated 29th ult., speak of a skirmish having taken place between the Seikh troops a nd those belonging to the De wan Moolraj, of Moolta n, in which the former were defeated with the loss of some guns. The Mooltan troops were Affghans ! There has also been a fight in the Hazaree country, between Maharaja Ghoolab Singh's troops and the Zamindars, in which the latter are said to have been victorious, and to have de stroyed between 1,500 to 2,000 of the Maharaja's sol diers.—Nefussilite, August 4.

LAHORE, JErLY 21.—" Hera Nund, Vakeel of Sirdar Shere Singh, Nizam of Peshawur, intimated to the Sir kar that the fort of Attock had, from time immemorial, been subject to the Governor of Peshawur; that on a late occasion Mousdah Singh had been appointed to the charge of that fort, in supersession of the former Tlia nader; that his master Shere Singh had rendered essen tial services to the Sirkar during the period of the rebel lion of Prince Peshora Singh; that on a late occasion his judicious arrangements had restored tranquillity in the Yoozoofzaie country and secured the approbation of the country ; and that if the Sirkar were now willing to acknowledge these facts and reward his services, all he required was that the fort of Attock should be con- tinned under his charge, declaring that rather than his wishes should not be complied with he would resign his office at Peshawur. Raja Lall Singh was displeased at this abrupt declaration, and remarked that if Shore Singh did not wish to remain at Peshawur he would shortly be recalled, but that for the present Mousdah Singh should be installed Thanadar of Attock. Dawee Decal represented that some disputes had arisen between Futteh Khan, Tawanah, Futteh Khan, Lon, and Shere Mahomed Khan, in consequence of the terri tory of Mutta, Tawanah, in which the two last had al ways had a share with the first, having been entirely made over to Futteh Khan, Tawanah, and that it was incumbent on the Sirkar to make some arrangement in this matter, either to take entire charge of the territory, or divide it equitably,- as otherwise bloodshed would be the certain consequence of the present disputes. Hear ing all this, Raja Lall Singh ordered that a purwannah should be addressed to Misr Ameerchund, with orders to take possession of the territory by his own Kardars, and to send the Kardars of Futteh Khan to Lahore. This day. Raja Lall Singh, Sirdar Tej Singh, and Dewan Deena Nath had a long conference regarding the Jagheer of Sirdar Runjoor Singh, consequent on which they summoned Khan Singh Majeeteea. On the conclusion of the interview with the latter, Dewan Neena Nath was desired to send for Runjoor Singh, and explain to him in an amicable manner the situation in which he stood, and propose certain terms for his ac ceptance, informing him at the same time that if these were not agreeable more stringent measures would be adopted. It is not known what has been the determina tion of the Sirdar. The Dufeerees of the cavalry had been directed to pay up the discharged Suwars to the day of their dismissal, and to make no deductions what soever. JULY 22.—Raja Lall Singh stated to the people as sembled at the Durbar, that he had received a letter from the battalions of Sirdar Khan Singh, Roussah, declaring that they would no longer remaie in the service of the Sirkar, and demanding their discharge and payment of all the arrears due to them, An urzee arrived at the same time from General Goordut Singh, remonstrating against the order by whieh the whole of his artillery had been made over to General Elahee Bukhsh, representing that his being thus deprived of his artillery was a great slur on him, and declaring that if the order were not rescinded he would resign his command. This matter had no sooner been heard than Mootee Ram, Vakeel of Dewan Ajoodheea Purshad, represented that his master had frequently applied for all the papers connected with the territory along the new fron tier, but that no attention had been paid to his requisi tion, and that it was impossible for him to proceed in his survey unless these documents were furnished.

"Ignez de Castro" is brought to a conclusion and, though a drama of singular inequality, is, never theless, a very clever performance. The author has transported his whole soul back many centuries, and, c w h i a th rac t t h e e rs intuitive wh a im i l ;o .:. et s , in d c i e scr e i r m un in o a , t ie el se into dull clay. There is always a Inarvellous fascina tion in reading any work of an historico romantic cast, whether it be a novel, a drama, or what-not; and that. fascination is in beholding revived to us hearts that have years upon years before ceased to beat, and features that have dwindled into dust. To discern the possible causes of some striking incident recorded in history, to scrutinise in the cabinet some personage with whom we are only familiar as the occupant of a throne, the champion of a populace, the captain of an army, or the counsellor of a Parliament, and to watch the household movements of those hitherto only dis played to us in their public capacity, constitute the principal charms of historical romance, and in a manner elevate it above all other species of imagina tive composition. In selecting this style of pen craft, however, a writer entails upon himself a heavy responsibility; he renders himself accountable for all the misapprehensions of facts formed by his reader; the memoirs of the past great and good are committed in a measure to his care ; he may become at pleasure the moral assassin or the apotheosist of some illustrious name. The dead and living alike look to him for an honest narration of occurrences, and a candid exposition of bygone humanity. Unless an historical romancer be armed with the panoply of impartiality, he degenerates into a garbling gossip ; and unless that impartiality be again tempered by intrepidity and self-con• fidence, the author sinks under the burden of his self-imposed responsibility. Mr. Jones has clad himself with this armour of impartiality, and animated himself with this courage. In this respect his tragedy is singularly successful. We are grati fied to observe that " Ignez de Castro " is about to be republished separately. " A Word with Dr. Johnson " is a most audacious assault upon the judgment of the monster critic, Samuel Johnson ; and that, too, on his monster criticism, William Shak spere. The impeachment, however, thus ventured upon is one sustained by its own inherent justice. There are no plausibilities about the arguments employed against the great Doctor; but simple homa-truths. Nor is this paper a mere castigation of a blundering criticism—it is a splendid panegyric upon the greatest poet the world ever saw; and, according to the German enthusiasts, the greatest poet the world ever will see ! We com mend those who are blessed with a curiosity in liters• ture (we don't mean one a ts Disraeli) to peruse this " Word with Dr. Johnson," commenced in the two preceding numbers of hood's Magazine, and con cluded in the number for October. "Blanche Neville" and "Nell Gwynne" are continued, and the plot of each gets more and more delightfully entangled. The residue of this periodical is dedicated to certain unset jewels, some of which, however, turn out, on investigation, to be mere glass and tinfoil. Never theless there are some excellencies among these frag ments, as, for example, the three " Sonnets for the Times," addressed to the Champions of Civil and Religious Liberty. We observe that this author has a most lamentable facility, month after month, of mur dering his admirable Rural Sonnets by alterations, which we regard as anything but improvements. " Let well alone" is a sensible maxim. DOUGLAS JERROLD. We have an additional chapter of " St. Giles and St. James" in the present number. The scene is laid at Snipeton's house at Hampstead, where Beckey and St. Giles have arrived as servants, and have been, by Clarissa, introduced to the household. Crossbone by arrives h wi a t n h im th a, e l ho N‘ r , s h e e , n wh h i e ch is he estoepmpped employs Tom St. Giles. Blast to hold, and that worthy is on the point of making off with Blast terrifies St. Giles, by a threat of disclosing the history of his early career, into giving him a shilling, and almost promising him a guinea a week, and hints at a plot for purloining Snipeton's plate. The scene is short, but it is admirably drawn : " ' What have I to do with Mr. Snipeton's plate, but to see nobody steals it ?' said St. Giles, firmly. " To be sure ; and yet when there's so much silver about, and a guinea a week—well, say a pound, then —a pound a week would make a fellow-cretur happy, and silent for life—l said, silent for life' — "St. Giles suddenly paused and turned full upon Blast. Go your ways, man—go your ways. Silent or not silent, you do not frighten me. What I may do for you I'll do of my own free will, and with my own money, such as it is. And, after all, I think 't will serve you better to hold your tongue than'— " 'I wouldn't kill the goose for all the eggs at once,' said Blast, grinning at the figure. "St. Giles felt deadly sick. He had thought to brave —defy the ruffian ; but the power of the villain, the fate that with a word he could call down upon his victim, unnerved him. St. Giles, with entreating hoks, motioned him away ; and Blast leering at him, and then tossing up the shiling with his finger and thee), passed on, leaving St. Giles at the garden gate, where stood Clarissa, brought there by the earnest entreaties of Crossoone, to view the horse—the wondrous steed that was to endow its mistress with new health and beauty." Paul Bell, in his " August Visions," draws an amusing contrast between the doings of August, 1846, and those of August, 1746—the trials of the rebel Scotch Lords, &c., as detailed in Horace Wal pole's letters. The article on " Railroads in Egypt" is written by one who is evidently intimately ac quainted with the country, and who exposes the manner in which the French consular agents have constantly endeavoured, in that country, to thwart British interests, and to prevent the formation of the railroad. "It now remains only to inquire how it is that we have suffered France successfully to oppose us in this particular. Certainly there has not been any remark able reluctance on the part of our Government to give it support. Opinions have changed since a British Minister so singularly thwarted the desire of Mohammed Ali, and rejected his overtures. Lord Aberdeen, in October, 1843, after the French Consul had dissuaded the Pacha from commencing the railroad, forwarded the most positive instructions to Colonel Barnet, our Consul- General in Egypt, to give every support to the under taking ; but we are sorry to say that the supineness or indifference of this gentleman, or it may be the per suasion of his boscm friend, the French Consul- General, prevented him from fulfilling those instructions, and in duced him to neglect, in a most singular manner, his duty to his employers and his country. On him rests the responsibility of having been the means of prevent ing instead of assisting, the execution of a work of such paramount importance to British interests, both in a commercial and political point of view." Colonel Barnet, we are happy to say, is now re moved; but if he have been guilty of the neglect, or something worse, here imputed to him—if British interests have been sacrificed, either wilfully or care lessly, surely he should be brought to account and punished, as an example to others. At all events, some inquiry should be instituted info his conduct. The "Fable for foolish Fellows" is a capital bit of drollery, but "Pearls for Popish places" is dull; it is, however, the only dull paper in the number, which contains more than the average quantity of good, readable matter.

In the event of your ramrod stickipg fast in your gun, do not allow a clod to try to extract it with his teeth, but having removed the cap, force the ramrod home by knocking the end of it against a tree. To these I will add two maxims, the one from Hawker, the other from Daniel. The Colonel thus writes :—' Never suffer a, gun at any time to be held for a moment -so es to be likely to come in the direction of either man or beast.' And the author of 'Field Sports' gives the following ex eellent advice In shooting with a stranger. who perhaps keeps his gun cocked, and muzzles usually pointed to the 1,-ft, plead for the right hand station, and urge that you cannot hit a bird fling to the left : with a gamekeeper take the right hand without ceremony.'" • With its usual statistics and light reading, the Sporting. Review is almost worthy a Jewess' eye. THE SPORTIPvG REVIEW. Another of Herring's " High mettled Racers," and an engraving from a sketch of Cooper's, called " October's Own," form the appropriate embellish ments to this number. The editor's merry and useful " Hand-book of the Chase," and the renewal of the " Life of a Foxhound," by John Mills, would of themselves render the Sporting Review worthy of its position in its right jovial class, even supposing we were not feasted with the " Racing for Septem ber," by Craven, with " Leatherlungs the Leg," or with " Roarers, Whistlers, and Grunters," by Harry Hieover. From a capital srticle by Lord IVilliam Lennox, " On Shooting," we extract the following pithy and inimitable morceaux of advice to the un learned. GOLDEN RULES IN SHOOTING. " Never take a shot from your neighbour ; although, should he be a bungler, be always prepared with a barrel to give the coup de grace. Never walk with the muzzle of your gun pointed except towards the ground or to the sky. Always uncock your weapon in crossing a ditch, or getting through a fence, or over a gate. After firing one barrel, never fail to ram down the other, as the charge may have got loose. Never load one barrel with the other cocked, or the ramrod down it. In cover shooting be particularly careful to ascertain where your companions, beaters, and dogs are, so as not to mistake them for game. Always unload your own gun, or see it done yourself. Keep your powder and copper caps dry. Never put your hand or arm over the muzzle of a gun, or lean over it. Never blow into the barrel of a gun ; and always treat it as if it was loaded, for no sooner does an accident take place than the first excla mation is, had no idea it was loaded.' Never take a loaded gun into a house ; I remember hearing of one of Lord Anglesey's brothers walking across the hall, at Goodwood, with both barrels loaded, and the cocks down ; in a second, without any apparent reason, both went off, and might have caused considerable havoc ; fortunately no one was in the hall at, the time.

Decidedly the most intelligent contribution in the present autumnal number is the one entitled " Can not England's Colonies do more for their Mother Country ?" What we glean from the writer as his paramount recommendations are, first, " to encourage our native fisheries with more liberality than here tofore ;" secondly, " to introduce a radical reform in the treatment of internal pauperism ;" and thirdly, to remodel our existing system of emigration, and to afford greater encouragement to the colonisation of distant and more fruitful regions of the globe. Many sagacious hints are scattered through the article ; and its general character is so eminently suggestive of -good that we can award it our cordial commenda tion, though many of its arguments are in direct con tradiction to our own opinions. A singular poem, entitled "Brotherly Love; written by Abd-el-Kader on his separation from bis brothers," is here given from the literal translation published in French. The heart of the heroic Emir is warmed by the domestic affections as well as elated by ambition. Mr. Hooton's " Peregrinations in Texas," the paper on the origin of basaltic columns, the continuation of " Reminiscences of Cuba," and the contribution on " Colonial Postage Reform," are all eminently de serving of consideration, as is the magazine generally. THE OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE REVIEW. We cannot possibly coincide in the strictures con tained in this monthly organ upon the very liberal scheme of education for the people, propounded by Dr. Hook, the clever and industrious Vicar of Leeds. There are undoubtedly many incongruities in his 'pro position, but nevertheless they are such incongruities as might be modified. It is not surprising, how ever, that an extraordinary diversity of opinion should be entertained upon a matter so peculiarly difficult to adjust to the satisfaction of all In a country where there are so many varieties of religions as in Eng land, and in a country , where there is both a church establishment, and a sincere yearning for the attain ment of civil and religious liberty, it is but natural that an endeavour to concoct some universal plan of education should be hampered by prejudices against this point, and partialities in favour of that. How beit it is neither for a single pamphlet like that written.by Dr. Walter Farquhar Hook, excellent as that pamphlet is in itself, nor for an anonymous con tributor to a monthly periodical, to fabricate any scheme likely to be precisely fitted for the adoption of the Government. It is for a variety of ideas to be elicited from the intelligent members of the community in this and various other ways, and for the Ministers to arrive at some ultimate reso lution through the guidance of their own wisdom and the collation of those different ideas. The plan which must in the end receive the approval of the Legisla ture for the education of the people will have first to pass through the crucible of public discussion, then to receive the profoundest consideration of our cabi net councillors, and finally to be tested in the alembic of the two Houses of Parliament. We cannot anti• cipate, neither can we have the temerity to hope, that this most difficult problem can be solved with any thing like precipitation. The ultimatum must be the result of arduous inquiry anti protracted investigation. Still it must be matter of congratulation to all those who are interested in the well-being of their fellow countrymen to reflect that the present Administration is the one most peculiarly identified with the progress of national education. Entering office at the moment when monopoly is for ever annihilated, and free trade incorporated with the spirit of the Constitution, the noble Premier, now ruling the destinies of this coun try, finds himself pledged, not merely to promote those commercial principles, but to watch over the sanatory condition, and to insure, if possible, the better education of the inhabitants of Great Britain. Knowing the lofty expectations formed for his admi nistration, and looking forward upon, the mysterious futurity of his Government, he might exclaim, in the words of Virgil-- " . . Major rerum mihi nascitur ordo; Majus opus moveo." Let us have no trepidation; but bide the time, san guine and confident as to our ulterior success. Among the other interesting contents of the Oxford and Cambridge Review, we must particularly men tion an article upon " The Colliery and Mining Dis tricts," an article brimming over with benevolence. A " Sunny Spot" at Serinione is an elegant and classic chapter. THE FARMER'S MAGAZINE. What with a portrait of Pyrrhus the First, the winner of the last Derby, and the limning of a Galloway Bull, the Farmer's Magazine has no evi dence of falling oft' in the way of illustration. It IA gratifying to find it proclaimed that "on the whole there exists little reason to complain of the result of the wheat harvest." After all the apprehensions raised by the exceeding drought of the summer, and the heavy rains that were experienced before the harvest could be gathered in, and bearing in mind the terrible failure of the potato crop, that announcement re specting the wheat is to a great extent consolitary. A mass of valuable information upon agriculture is, as usual, condensed into the pages of this worthy pub lication. CHAMBERS'S EDINBURGH JOURNAL. A perennial spirit seems to animate the editors of this very admirable periodical. There is nothing mawkish or affected in the contributions ; they have always a moral purpose and a virtue. Although the quantity of original writing, which is incessantly being published in its columns is something surpris ing when the price is remembered, there is never a sentence which can be said to verge upon twaddle. The Edinburgh Journal is still the worthy representa tive of the house from which it emanates. THE ALMANAC OF THE MONTH. From this witty miscellany we extract the following description of an organ not yet mapped out of the phrenological cranium. Diogenes has been taking lessons in phrenology, and he thus addresses his in structor : " There is one organ," I said, turning to my enter taining instructor, " which I do not see returned to this mental Parliament. At least, Ido not observe its seat marked anywhere. And yet its functions are most im portant. It animates all society. It is the great prin ciple of the universe. It penetrates everywhere. It is supposed by many to be the abode of the human mind. It is the one great organ of the world. It is to be found in men's hearts and their homes, and is to be met with at church, and in the holiest places. It is the soul of new inventions, and many sciences could not exist with out it. It is "the life-blood of quackery. Even phreno logy, that noble science which you have illustrated so accurately to me to-clay, is not free from it. In fact, persons have so often confounded the two names, that they have at last become synonymous. I do not see it marked here anywhere, and yet—so large is its influ ence, and so universal its operation—that it might re place alone all the other functions into which you have divided, like a child's puzzle, the human head." " Pray, Sir, what is the name of this organ ?" said the professor, in a voice of the strong, st interest. "I took a pencil, and having given a proof of my des tructiveness by wiping out all the qualities which were drawn and quartered on the chalk head before me, I wrote over the surface, in large letters, the word HUMBUG. " Before he had recovered from his amazement, I had left the shop." LITERATURE. THE CABINET HISTORY OF ENGLAND Vol. XXI. The nearer the narration of this history approaches to our own immediate times the more is its utility manifest. What are only scattered through a world of journals, and memoirs, and biographies, is here compacted together in a comprehensible and portable form. The grand parliamentary contests between Fox and Pitt, imparts a peculiar lustre and a remark able interest to this volume. FINE ARTS. THE HEROINES OF SHAKSPERE. Part VI. When completed, this series will form a most costly and fitting accessory to the Shakspereian library. Many of the characters are scarcely embodied we must acknowledge ; but this can hardly form matter of astonishment when the mysterious elevation of the originals is considered.

The Revising Barrister, at half-past ten o'clock on Saturday morning, proceeded with the revision of Vie householders' list. Henry S. Redpath, 13, St. Swithin's-lane, claimed to be put on the list. A claim was served on his behalf, but a blank was left in the document where the premises should have been inserted, and in consequence of the omission the claim was disallowed. Henry Houghton, of Wa'brook-buildings, claimed to be registered. It appeared that Mr. Houghton had attended last yoar, and that his claim was allowed, but not% ithstanding that !act his name was omitted fr( in this car's list, and it consequently became necessary to serve a NEW C:aiin for him to be put on the rate. A complaiet was made by Mr. Wsnscy, on the part of the complaiasnt, of the hard ship of obliging him, under those cireum itances, to attend the Court. The Vestry-Clerk was interrogated by the Barrister with reference to the omission, but was unable to state satisfactorily how it had. occurred. He admitted that he was responsible for the omission. Mr. Wansey submitted that the Court should fine the overseers in that case. BARRISTER —BLit Mr. Philips, the vestry-clerk, says he is responsible for it. The Vestry-Clerk declared that he, and not the over seers, was responsible for the omission. Mr. Wansey again urged that the overseers might have made the omission. BARRISTER—We will understand how that is, and I am sure Mr. Philips will assist us to do so. Mr. Philips said if he could find out the lists on his re turn home, he should do so; but he could not pledge himself that he would find them, as his clerk was out of town. The BARRISTER intimated that be would be prepared at any time during the present registration to investigate the matter. ' The lists of the parishes of St. Stephen,Walbrook, and St. Swithin,London-wall,were revised, thereby finishing the revision of the wards of Bridge, Candlewick, Wal brook. The lists of Allhallows on the Wall, Broad street ward, were also revised. Result of the revision, as furnished by the Liberal agent : OBJECTIONS. Sustained. Failed or withdrawn. Liberals. Tory.

SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY: -- With respect to the effect of the advance of fares on this railway, the Dover Chronicle has the following statement :—" On the Ist of September the South- Eastern Company raised their passenger fares —say, at an average, 20 per cent. This advance, it was no doubt calculated by the directors, would increase their returns in a corresponding ratio. What has been the result of their extortion ? The returns for passengers, for the week eliding August the 29th—the last week of the low fates, showed 9,098/. ; while the week ending-the 19th of September, when the high fares may be said to have come into full operation (both weeks being on a par as to the travelling season), the returns for passengers had fallen to 8,7681. ! It is true that for the first week of the rise, and before the public were aware of it till they reached the pay table, there was an increase in the re turn for passengers of some 5001. over the preceding week; but after that, the returns steadily declin e d ; t h us prov ing t h e great fact ' that low fares are the most profit e Soath-Eastern i ncrease of fares, not only h a a b s l a Waf d itt e eh c r r at e hl a le s . e of passengers taken place; but many of those passengers who were wont to travel in first-class carriages now travel by the second, while former second class passengers now go in third-class carriages. Our steamers to and from London now carry large freights; and many of the most respectable families, who, but for the unwarrantable increase of fares, would have travelled by rail, now go by steam, while coacheA and omnibuses up the old road are now daily filled from the same cause." ANOTHER. FATAL RAILWAY A CCIDENT.—I is again our melancholy duty to record another fatal acci dent upon the railway, which occurred about nightfall on Thursday last. The sufferer in this instance was named John Archer, a native of Norfo.k, but better known in company of his fellow-workmen under the cognomen of " Seedy Jack." At the time above stated he was in the act of detachiek some heavily laden earth waggons on the incline on the Kendal and Windermere line, in the immediate vicinity of Parkaide. Having placed himself between the buffers in order to unloosen the chain, the waggons unexpectedly moved forward, dreadfully crushing his abdomen and the small of his back as the buffers came in contact. lie was im mediately removed from this dangerous position, but alas! he had received the stroke of death. On being conveyed to his lodgings in Allhallows-lane, Mr. Brum well, surgeon, was in attendance, but his aid was abor tive. The deceased is represented to have been a young man of higher moral bearing than is usually found in the ranks of railway labourers, and in some instances, it is said, his piety was exemplary when those around were giving utterance to language below Christian notice.-- Kendal Mercury. FATAL ACCIDENT TO MAJOR BEVAN.—WC have this day to record another of those melancholy gun ac cidents arising from the want of sufficient caution with regard to loaded fire-arms. On Wednesday evenin g , as Major Bevan, o f thi s c i t y, was return i ng from a shoot ing excursion on a car with three other gentlemen near his father-in-law's ' Mr. Brew, of Wildb roo k e, county of Clare, he had hi s loaded fowling-piece with the butt end resting on the footboard, and the barrels between his legs, while he was smoking a cigar. By some accident or other the fowling-piece was slipping off the •car, and he stoops-d forward to snatch it, when the hammer, which was unfortunately down, coming in contact with the footboard, one of the barrels exploded, and tiy, con. tents passed upwards into the cavity of the che!',l, carry ing away a portion of the heart, and procee , ling between the sternum and lungs, came out uncle'• the windpipe, and entering again under the chin went through the head He had only time to say " Stop ; 0 G o d ! l am shot," and falling forward he vomited a quantity of blood, and immediately expired without a groan. The remains were conveyed to Mr. Brew's. Here was a veteran soldier who had been 30 years in India, escaped all the chances of battle, and well knew the use of fire arms, y , :t now, in the evening of his days, fell from want of caution by his own hand. He is the author ofa very interesting work " Field Sports in India."—Limerick Reporter. _ _ SUBSCRIPTION FOR MATTHEWSON AND COOKE.—To British citizens who stand not in awe of military des potism, it remains to rescue Matthewson from a repitition of that horrible outrage of which his person still bears the indelible marks, by purchasinc , his discharge. .-We perceive that a subscription has already been set on foot for that purpose, coupling with it, also, the purchase of the discharge of private Cooke. The fund required is 501. ; and though cohtributions have already been re ceived by the Treasurer, Mr. G. Walter, the Blue Posts, Shoe-lane, Fleet-street, the sum realised is yet inadequate for the benevolent, humane, and Christian purpose con templated. The case admits of no delay—a few hours and the ladder may be fixed to receive the manacled form of the victim—the trumpets may again sound for "punishment "—the cats may again be in the hands of the farriers—the lash may again do its work, and the remains of Matthewson be laid along with.those of his late comrade White in the depths of their mother earth. Let not a moment then be lost in affording the means, trifling as they are, for rescuing another victim from the calendar of military punishments.—Sunday paper. SALT MONOPOLY IN FRANCE.—The monopoly of salt has recently been made the subject of a report to the French Academy by the celebrated traveller in America, M. de Tocqueville. The Academy, M. de Tocqueville states, is aware that the question of the production of' salt, and its price, is one of the most important consider ations with reference to public health and agriculture that can occupy the attention of political economist and statesmen. This subject has of late years very much agitated the public mind in France, and M. de Tocque ville complains that salt is, in general, only viewed by the Government in connexion with taxation, and that the tax bears no proportion to the value of the com modity, which is thus raised to an ex, rbitant price. It appears that the salt makers in the south of France have eneterrerdicein, a tond i a tis even confederacy for the purpose of keeping up th e ared that the salt monopoly will soon be in the hands of one individual. "Of what not in favour of advantage, then, is it," M. de Tocqueville asks, " for the state to lower the tax, if the maker has it in his power to command the market, and raise the price at his oncettiomihe,:t ovEeepxspnEt r eo N e nt T s hd i v TO O a n T d u weak. abolishingpkasure? ?" individual 3l d o Tocqueville mnopoly f i o s r the purpose f establishing one by Government in its stead.
