Previously, however, to his going there, he proceeded Ito visit the church of the Madeleine. It having by some means transpired that the ex-Emir was to make this visit in the course of the day, a considerable crowd had collected not only in the Rue Royale, but ou the steps of the church, and in the sacred edifice itself. About three o'clock Abd-el-Kader arrived in a close carriage, accompanied by two other Arabs and commandant Boisonnet. On the ex-Emir alighting from his carriage, the men standing round all took off their hats as a mark of respect, and the moment after a tremendous rush from the crowd rendered it somewhat difficult for the Arabs to make their way to the church. As soon as they had passed the iron railing which runs round the building, the sergens-de-villa on duty closed the gates, and thus prevented any further confusion. Abd-el-Kader then ascended the steps, and was re ceived at the porch by the Abb6 Duguerry, who con ducted him round the church, the rich ornamentation of which seemed to excite the admiration of the e,isitors. In passing the high altar the ex-Emir P• ansed an instant, and bent his hea d as a token of respeett. After a stay . of about teu minutes the chief withdrew, the persons in the church forming two lines for him to pass through. He bowed repeatedly on both sides as he proceeded, and was evidently touched by the unequivocal marks of sympathy which he re ceived. bbd-el-Bader appears to be a man of about 43 or 44 years of age. His complexion is particularly fair for an Arab, being in fact scarcely darker than what is seen in some of the inhabitants of the southern countries of Europe. This distinctive mark was ren dered the more striking by its contrast with the dark skins of the Arabs who accompanied him. His fea tures are decidedly good, the black eye being exceed ingly fine, and of an almost feminine softness. He and his followers were simply dressed in the white burnous of their country, and wore the beard rather long. On emerging from the church t he y were a g ain the objects of much respectful attention from the per sons outside The funeral ceremony for the late M. Gioberti took place yesterday at the Churcn of La Trinite. About 300 Italians and 200 Frenchman followed the corpse from the house in the Rue de Ber me, at which M. Gioberti died, to the church. Among the Italians were MM. Manin, Cenati, Mazzoni, Montanelli, Amari, and the Marquis Palvacinio Trivulcio. The gentlemen who appeared as the principal mourners were the Marquis d'Azeglio, the Sardinian Minister at the Court of London; Colonel Collegno, the ex- Minister of Sardinia at Paris, and the Count de Vii lamarina, the present Minister. After the mass, a short funeral oration was pronounced by M. Pons (de l'llerault), ex-deputy and ex-Councillor of State. From the Church of La Trinite the body, which had been embalmed by order of the Sardinian Minister, was taken to the vaults of the Church of the Made leine, where it will remain for the decision of the Government at Turin, to which place it is supposed it will be conveyed for final interment.

BELGIUM. The following announcement has been received by electric telegraph, from Brussels, dated yesterday : Brussels, Sunday.—The Belgian Moniteur will pub lish to-morrow the Royal decrees appointing the new Ministry, as follows :—MM. de Brouckere, Foreign Affairs; Piercot, Interior; Felder, Justice. M. Liedts, Finance ; Vanhoorebeke, Public Works ; and Arnoul, War, remain in the Ministry. All the reports of the proceedings in the Chamber when M. Delfosse was elected President state that M. Comans, when the result of the ballot was an nounced, "It is humiliating for the Chamber." This expression has been laid hold of by the clerical prints as a proof that, in the opinion of the party to which M. Coomans belongs, the votes of the Chamber were given at random and entitled to no respect. This construction is refuted by the following letter from Coomans himself, addressed to the Independance Belle:-- " Brussels, Oct. 28. sie,—l read this morning in your short-hand writer's report of the sitting of the Chamber of Representatives of the 26th, that after the proclamation of M. Delfosse as President of the Assembly, the Right is in a state of exasperation difficult to describe. M. Coomans is heard to exclaim, it is humiliating for tho chamber.' Since you make me iniuit at once M. lioness° and the chamber, it becomes my duty to notice the serious mis take which you have made. Tho interruption reported by you did not apply either to M. Delfosse or to the chamber. I have too much respect for the decrees o the national representation, even for those which are made without my co-operation, to hese been capable of uttering such a stupid insult. Tne warm and ropeated manifestations of applause in the tribunes, which the President, sitting in virtue of his seniority, wets not able to repress, alone occasioned me to say, it is humiliating for the chamber.' This expression commanded the assent of all my honourable colleagues, M. Delfosse himself among the number. By inserting textally this correction in your next number, you will spare me the expense of employing my huissier,' and will prove that you have simply been led into a mistake."

TO THE EDITOR Or THE TIMES, Sir,—ln the leading articles of your paper of to-ally you oak—" Where are the masses on a Sunday after noon? " I cannot fatty answer the question as to the Sunday afternoon, but I can tell yon where great num bers may be found on the Sunday night nod the Monday morning. Sunday night, brings a vast increase of popu lation to the cells of the various police-stations in the exhibits a frightful bar of a police-court, addition o 1 itso, those M w o h n o d a l t y an in d r a )r t n t tg under the various classifications of " drunk and riotous," " drunk and using abusive language," "drunk and assaulting his wife," " drunk an d assaultin g p oliceman X in the execution of his duty," and " drunk and inca pable.' As to where the masses may be on the Sunday after noon, I think I can account for some of them by refer ring you to the outsides of the various public-houses in and near London, at the doors of which you will see generally a string of the wearers of " fustian and coarse linen," waiting for the hour at which the law sanctions the opening of the numerous gin palaces on Sunday. Though some insist that the Crystal Palace ought not to enjoy the same privilige, I wish the Legislature would try the effect of abutting up the gin palaces and opening the Crystal Palace on Sundays for a single year, and I am satisfied no good reason would be found for altering such an arrangement. By the way, your readers need be under no appre hension that if the 50,000 visitors to the Crystal Palace should got drank at Sydenham on Sunday, they would cause any inconvenience by their ahouta and quarrels in London; for it is against the law that a drunken man be admitted into a railway carriage. If the railway com panies should only partially carry out this wholesome regulation, so large a proportion of the drunken 50,000 would be left behind, at a distance of some miles from their homes, that the evil of intoxication would probably cure itself in a brief period. However, if the sale on Sunday of intoxicating drinks, except under certain ex ceptional cases, were to be prohibited, there would be no chance of the fears alluded to being realized. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, A POLICE MAGISTRATE. Oct. 30. TO VIE EDITOI OF THE TIMES. Sir,—Your strictures upon the language held at the meeting of the London clergy to protest against the opening of the Crystal Palace on Sundays appear to me, for the most part, exceedingly just. I was present at the meeting, and g am not at all surprised that you should notice the strange facility exhibited by all the speakers in shutting their oyes to the most obtrusive facto, and the ridiculous oscillation between optimism and alarmism with which they alternately gave thanks for the present and deplored the possible future. I could not help remarking myself, " Why, these gentlemen ap pear to assume that this year everybody in London goes to church, and that next year, if the Crystal Palace is opened on Sundays, everybody will go there instead." Both suppositions are absurdly remote from the truth. But it requires apparently some unreal object to excite the true clerical enthusiasm. A constitution mongering project for the revival of Convocation, or a protest in the name of the masses against profanation of the Sabbath, or a demonstration in behalf of objective truth, or a defiance addressed to the Pope, supplies just that point of departure from melancholy realities into the region of agreeable shadows which clergymen seem to delight in. Allow mo to suggest, however, that it is easy to run off into cant in the opposite direction ; for it is nothing better than cant to pretend that coalwhippers and light ermen are likely to be drawn away from public-houses and skittle-grounds by the superior attractions of the air and edifying scenery of the Sydenham park. It reminds ono of the statement of a great sanitary reformer, that people get drunk in London because the water is so bad. A taste for what is wholesome, whether it be church going, or country air, or msthetie enjoyment, is wanting in the myriads who now frequent demoralizing haunts on the Sunday, and you cannot create it either by open ing or shutting a Crystal Palace. It is reasonable to suppose that the opportunity of walking in the pleasure grounds at Sydenham, as it would merely be an addition, and not of the cheapest kind, to a host of inducements now held out on Sundays to suburban and rural wander. ings, would produce no very momentous effect one way or the other—would empty neither the church nor the gin-palace. I am truly glad to see that you do not place your self in an attitude of hostility to a rational conviction in favour of Sunday observance. I think, therefore, that you will not bo disposed either to ridicule or to censur e the very prevak at feeling of unwillingness that a pl an which seems to recognize a division of the Sunday be tween worship and holyday-making should receive a national sanction. We still retain, thank God, so much of a national spirit that every Englishman would feel himself oompromrsed by a Royal or Parliament ar y de claration of that kind, and most good men b e li eve th a t , majority of a direction. Tuns it T w hu ou s l t d he ha i v m e m g en re se at the governing classes of this country felt that i n a p s er a ni p c a io b u li s c 1841 England was doing a right thing in so far manifesting her reverence for the sacred day as to brook the sur prise of her foreign guests, and resolutely to close the doors of the Exhibition on the Christian Sabbath There will be infinitely less excuse for opening the Cry-. stal Palace at Sydenham on Sundays; and, as the na tional piety found itself an honourable expression last year, I confidently hope that next year nothing will be done to commit the whole people of England to a view which the religion of the country appears to condemn.— I beg to remain, Sir, your obedient servant, Oct. 30. A LONDON CLERGYMAN. STATE OF TRADE. MADTerasTER, Oct. 30.--Notwithstanding the check given to business on Thursday, there has, on the whole, been a considerable business in yarn and cloth. during the past week, and the upward tendency of prices con tinues. Yarns are selling at an average of id. per lb. higher than last weak, in numbers made from American cotton, but the higher counts, from long-stapled cotton, have advanced more than this. Tho India accounts by this mail, though satisfactory, do not show the farther improvement many had anticipated, and have not led to much extra business. _ _ BIRMINGHAM, Oct. 30.—The trades of Birmingham and the district generally remain good, and up to this time the injurious effects naturally expected to follow the late sudden advance in the price of metals has not been felt to the extent which was at first anticipated. NOTTINGHAM, Oct. 30.—There are this week con siderable complaints among the lace merchants of this town, on account of the small demand for most classes of goods compared with what was expected; yet, notwithstanding this, all our machinery is fully em ployed, and manufacturers are purchasing yarns at advanced rates with an avidity which is somewhat sur prising. LEseas, Oct. 30.—This, the last market day of the month, presented a satisfactory contrast to last Tues day's market, though the business done was less exten sive than during the two or three preceding Saturdays. Perhaps the most remarkable feature of this day's mar ket was the absence of anything l►ke an ample stock of goods for the choice of merchants, whose purchases have been in this way consequently restricted. In wit neys, beavers, m:xtures, and other descriptions of heavy goods, sales were readily effected; and most of the cot ton-warp fabrics in the Coloured Cloth-hall were cleared out at fully average prices. Both in the White and Coloured Cloth Hall prices had an upward tendency, and the manufacturers appear dc:ermined to demand an ad vance in future orders—a demand which the enhanced price of wools fully justifies, and indeed renders abso lutely necessary. BRADFORD, Oct. 30,—The recent advance in the price of wool and cutton hiis had its effect upon the yarn and piece trades, and strenuous efforts are being made to secure better prices for both goods and yarns. That present rates are not commensurate with the existing value of the raw material is now universally admitted. Spinners have given notice of an advance for the Novem ber contracts, and manufacturers declare they must limit the production of pieces unless the advance they require ie conceded.

SPORTING NOTES. No. CCCXXXVIII. A LAST GLANCE AT TIE HOUGHTON, AND PEEP AT THE WORCESTER AUTUMN MEETING. Fate treated me shabbily in the two most important Stakes of the past Newmarket Meeting. Firstly, in the race for the Cambridgeshire, whore my particular fancy, Convulsion, not being sufflciEntly disposed of by the dirt, but must also be run against three or four times, and once all but knocitod down. Future running (if they ever again meet), will show that Convulsion is a much superior animal to his conqueror the Knight of the Shire, who, like Daniel O'Rourke, in the Derby, was assisted more by eircumstancea than merits. As I observed in my remarks on the race, the pace was wretched, worse so far as is known, by many scconds th a n an y p rev i ous race for the Cambridgeshire. The course, pace, every thing, was in the winner's favour, and dead against the majority of the speedy horses—who, as the saying is could not move in the dirt. The other blow that I received from the fickle god dess was in the Nursery Stakes, both First and Second Class, in which they did not give me even a start. My selections—Norva for the First, and Michaelmas Maid for the Second Class—the latter, after a let of manoeuvring, being scratched a short time previously to tho race— were both turned adrift, for some reason or other which I have been unable to discover. 117. a c es win of the First Class, with tist sib up, was a meal extra ordinary performance, and stamps her as a class and very gam animal. A good deal of the running during ;ea past week, owing to the wretched state of the gro':,nd, is untrue, and will doubtless be reversed on future occasions. The victory of Weathergclge for the Audley End Stakes—conceding 121 b t o A d i ne, 71b and a year to Black Doctor, 41b to Lady in Waiting, and 141 b to Ben Nevis, over a course one mile, seven furlongs, and fifty-five yards in length —was a most extraordinary in cident. He waited upon Adine till half way between the Duke's stand and the cords, then went up, raced with her a stride or two, left her 'without an eftbrt, carried the fun on by himself, and won with ridiculous ease by nearly a dozen lengths. The meeting was wound up on Saturday with is fact well worth recording, namely, the success of Lord Glas gow in his five matches t I believe it is unprecedented in the annals of Newmarket, and therefore of the Turf, that any man should be victorious in so many matches in one day. We must now bid farewell to the legitimate racing season of 1852 ; and after the short interregnum of two days, turn our attention to the first of the meet ings of the hybrid class—that at Worcester. In the course of the ensuing Steeple Chase 'Beason, I shall make a plan of eschewing °Pini l 7in on the probable result of each s t ee pl e c h ute a'on,'" until the day pre vious to the race ; s uc h ver yer:- eentric games being P.a. played o ff by the proprietor* the " across-country" horses. withreut I can first ascertain whether th e mone y i s The latest betting at Wbreester oa the steeple chase to be decided there on Wednesday, makes Bourton and Proceed the favourites, at 4 and 5 to 1 respectively. Bedford, Chieftain, and Half-and-1161f, have also been backed with some spirit at 6 to 1 each. The races to be run to-morrow are five in number, and will commence with a sweepstakes of 5 soy& each, with 25 added (mile and a quarter). This, with the selling stakes and sc urry handicap, have to close and name this evening, at the Bell Inn, Worcester. The 10 Sovs. Sweepstakes (over the two miles) out of its 29 nominations, will attract a large field to tho post, the majority of the horses accepting being there. Alonzo would seem to have all the top weights safe— Woolwich and Montague being his piincipal opponents in that division ; the middle weights seem to favour the Ballet Girl and Odiham ; and Athena Pallas ought to beat all the light weights. I shall look for the winner to ALONZO or ATHENA PALLAS ; and Woolwich (if he rune) will be in close attendance. The 5 Soya. Handicap, with 40 added (over the mile course), closed with 15 nominations, PRIADI THR THIRD or Dawson's starter, looking most like winning. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

LOUIS NAPOLEON AND ABD•EL KADER The Moniteur contains an interesting account of the reception of Abd-el•Kader at St. Cloud yesterday. Abd-clKader, before being presented to the Prince President, desired to perform his religious devotions, after which he was presented to the Prince, who em braced him with great warmth. The Emir then said : " Monseigneur,—You have been good and generous towards me. I owe t o y ou t h e liberty which others had promised—which you did not promise,and which yet you have granted. I swear to you never to violate the oath I have taken. I know that it has been said to you that I shall fail in my promises ; but you do not believe it. lam bound by gratitude and my word. Be assured that I will never forgot what one and the other impose upon a descendant of the Prophet, and on a man of my race. Not only do I say this, but I wish to place in your hands a writing which shall remain a testimony of the oath I have just renewed. I hand you, then, this letter, which is the faithful reproduction of my thoughts." The Prince graciously replied that be had not de manded any promise, at he placed full reliance on his character. The following is the act of engagement:— "Praise to the one solo God. " May God continue to give the victory to Napoleon our lord, the lord of Kings. May God come to his aid and guide his acts. He who is before you is the old prisoner whom your generosity has delivered, and who comes to thank you for your benefits, Abd.el.Kader, son of Mahhied-Dun. Ho has presented himself to your highness to return thanks for the good you have done him, and to rejoice at yonr eight; for I swear by God, the Master of the world, that you are, monseigneur, more deer to my heart than any of those I love. You have done for mo a thing that I am not able to thank you for, that which was not above yonr groat heart and the nobleness of your origin. You are not of those that are flattered by falsehcod, and that are deceived by imposture. You have believed me—you have not given faith to those who doubted me —you have set me at liberty; and I have solemnly swo:n by the pact of God, by his prophets, and by his messen ger, that I will never violate the confidence you him placed in me, that I will not fail in my promises, that I will never forget your benefits, and that I will never sot foot on Algeria. When God willed that I should make war on the French, I made it. I made speak the powder as long as I could; and when ho willed that I should cease to combat I submitted to his decisions and I with strew. My religion and my noble origin makeit a law for me to keep my oath and to repel all fraud. lam Chee•if (descendant of the prophet), and I desire not to be ac3used of imposture. How could it be possibly, when your goodness has been exercised on me in so striking a manner? Benefits are a bond tied roiled the neck of men of heart. I have witnessed the grandeur of your empire, the power of your armies, the immensity of the riches of Franco, the equity of her chiefs and the justice of their actions. it is not possible to believe that any one can conquer you and oppose your will, if it be not the Almighty God. I trust to your benevolence and goodness to keep for me a plane in your heart, for I was far . off and you pla ce d me h i the circle of your f riends ; Ido not equal them by my services, I equal them . at least by th e f r i en d s hi p boar you, Moy God inert-aro love in the hearts of yonr friends, and terror in the heart of your enemies. I have only to add that I confide in your friendship. I ad. dress to yen my wishes, and renew my oath. "Written by ABD•UL-FADER, BEK MAIII-ED-DEN." The Prince, after this speech, took Abd-el-liader to visit the palace. Being presented to the Minister of Justice, who remarked to the Emir the little relation ship between his office and that of War, the Emir happily replied, " A good empire rests on justieo and 'on the army." Being conducted to the stables, he el:- claimed, " Why, it is a little palace !" The,Prince then said to Abd•el.Kader that it was so long since he was on horseback ho would lend him an Arab horse, and that he would command a review of cavalry. The visit lasted an hour and a half. All persons present were struck with the nobleness and dignity of the Emir's manners.—Morning Herald. MYSTERIOUS DEATH Br STRANGULAT/ON.—OR Sa• turday afternoon an adjourned inquest was resumed before Mr. Bedford, in the vestry-room of St. Anne, Soho, relative to the death of Mary Buttery, aged 49, late servant to Mr. Blatchford, tailor, Carlisle-street, Soho, who was found with a rope round her neck, which it is supposed, had produced strangulation, under the following mysterious circumstances i—lt appeared that the deceased had been in the service of Mr. Blatchford about four months, and that, on Tuesday morning last, about half-past six o'clock, she was found by Mrs. Blatchford, in the kitchen, lying on the floor, with her head resting against a chair. She thought deceased was in a fit, when she sprinkled her face with water. As she did out recover, she sent for Mr. Rogers, surgeon, Dean-stri et, who was of opinion that she died of disease of the heart. After he left, a female, who was sent for to lay the deceased out, on moving a block silk hand kerchief, which she had twisted round her throat, dis covered a rope. Mr. Rogers was again applied to, when, upon seeing that deceased had a deep indentation round her throat, he stated that she had disd of strangu lation, and he was of opinion that it Ives not her own act. The coroner, in consequence, directed a post mortenl examination by Mr. Rogers, who now stated that in his opinion strangulation had beea nearly accom plished; but that, as she had disease of the heart and ' lunge, her death was produced conjointly by the oper ation of the ono upon the other. It further appeared that the deceased had a male visitor, who called on her for the last time on Monday afternoon, end that she was the illegitimate child of a wealthy West India merchant, who left her considerable property, but which was in dispute. She was well educated, and was the widow of Mr, G. Buttery, a landscape painter. The coroner sum med up, observing it was a most mysterious affair. Ver dict, "That the deceased was found with a repo round her neck, but there was not sufficient evideuce to lead the jury to decide that &ha died of strangulation." NEW ROADS FROM CAMDEN - TOWN TO ISLINGTON. —The want of a direct road between Camden -town and Islington has long beetnaseeoupulrocpeoofus trgr deiastits inconvenience to only c to the inhabitants of these means of communication at present existing being by the circuitous route of King's-cross and the New-road, or, on, the other hand, by the Camden-road-villas and Holloway. This inconvenience, however, is now about to be remedied by two now streets being made, which will open a direct road from near the Camden-town station of the Birmingham and East India Dock Junction la to Islington. The first of these, St. P au l' s - roa d, will l come into Maiden-lame opposite Belleisle, and Murray-street, immediately to the north of the goods station of the Great Northern Railway, taking nearly the line of an old footpath across the fields which was stopped up about twenty years ago. These now means of communication will be a great saving of distance to f o ot passengers and vehicles, and also for goods going from the Camden Station of tho London and North- Western Railway to the goods-station of the Great Northern, roposed and will afford a re a dy means o f access to the p cattle-market in Cop en h agen -fi e lds. The lend has been taken for the purpose, and planned out, and several builders have entere2s into covenants tf cover the awl with buitcliEtge by a bt4ted period, LIiERATURE. THE MAGAZINES. Mackuvol.—Sir 13u1 ;e'er Lyttores " Novel" con tinues, as it has not ceas e d t o b e f or now upwards of two years, the chief of all the literary attractions of Blachwood. Lenstriere, at the present, and evidently the crowning crisis of the story, has become the central scene of attraction in the narrative—the arena upon which are congregated the principal among that wonderful crowd of fictitious characters. Nothing can display more consummate skill than the gradual unravelling of that apparently (at one time) inextricably entangled skein of the plot, in which the subtlest discriminations of temperament, and the most astonishing facilities of invention, are revealed in abounding profusion by the hand of the Mater No velist. It were scarcely desireable, at the present position of affairs in the story, to give a barren epitome of the progress made this month in its deve lopement. Before long, the tale will have rolled its magic wheel to the goal, when the opinions of criticism might be adventured upon somewhat more reasonably, rather more appropriately, and certainly more dispas sionate. Just now, the critic cannot but feel his judgment embarrassed by a complication of hopes and fears, as to the destinies of those imaginary beings whom be has been !for more than' six-and-twenty months watching with such eager, and some of them (and not a few of them) with such affectionate solicitude. The sympathies of the reader for the time being eclipse the serenity of the reviewer. We must refrain therefore, from commenting upon the individual fea tures of the narrative, the latest instalment of which appears in the number of Blackweed for this present November. Enough that we simply reiterate an opinion we have now taken occasion of late to express repeatedly,—namely, that Sir Bulwer Lytton has never disclosed his powers as a romaucist to more brilliant advantage than in "My Novel, or the Varieties of English Life"—a work in which his abilities shine out in all their matured and ripened perfection, and in which, with the aid of those abili ties, he has " held the mirror up to nature," and in so doing has portrayed the aspects of an entire genera tion. A modest satirist has given us in the November number of Ebony, without even an initial, a poem upon " The Golden Age," moaning neither the age of Pac tolua nor that of Tom Tiddler (whoever he was— and this let Notes and Queries decide), but that of simultaneous emigration to Australia and California. " Katie Stewart"—one of the most charming and beautiful little stories imaginable—is brought this month to a conclusion. We rejoice to observe that it is announced for separate publication—as is also the case with " My Novel," according to adver tisement. "Fictions for French Firesides" is the title of a very valuable contribution, in which the English reader is introduced to some of the recent effusions of M. Emile Souvestre. Diabolically tedious is the next paper, the one professing to tell us all about "The Re strictive Tariffs of Foreign Countries." Talk of Soyer's Regenerator—here indeed is" Cookery for the Million !" Do you doubt it ? Look at the statistics. A curious, wild old story is that which is elsewhere told once more by Maga, anent " The Pilgrimage of the Flagellants." After an ample and deservedly eulo gistic notice of Miss Strickland's third volume of the " Lives of the Queens of Scotland," comes the poli tical article for November, referred to in our leading columns as in many respects remarkable. From this paper, which is suggestively, headed "The Holidays," we make the following quotation : The position of Louis Napoleon with regard to France is one of the most extraordinary phenomena of the present century. Hero is a man who has been gene rally represented as devoid of commanding ability—as destitute of principle and character—as obstinate, vain, sensual, and even silly—as false to his engagements, un faithful to his friends, and as one on whose word no possible reliance could be placed; and yet this man, without means, and without influence—ono day a pri soner, the next un exile—has contrived to achieve the entire and despotic command of the very foremost na tion of cieilizsd Europa—to tread under foot all oppo sition—and to be able to appeal to the voice of the int mete e majority of the people, as his passport end title to the throne ! Fie could refer to no favourable ante cedents; yet, at his first important step, wo find him elevated, through the medium of universal suffrage, to the Presidency of the Republic, over the head of one who was justly esteemed at the first living soldier of France. Next we find him in collision with the so called representatives of the people, and triumphant almost without a struggle. With a strong heel he crushed out st once the fire of insurrection, grappled with a licentious press and strangled it, smote down the rising power of socialism, and then appealed to the nation at large far a confirmation of what he had done. That confirmation was given to him, by an increased majority of voices ; and in less than a year thereafter we find him hailed, almost by universal France, as a political deliverer, and solicited to assume, as his re ward, the grand prise of the Imperial Crown 1 We statelthese things, nett n laudation of him, bat us a prac tical rebuke to the blindness of those who could see, in this extraordinary man, nothing more than the features of the common adventurer. Since the creation of the world, no common adventurer has ever achieved so mach. Chance did net place him where he is : it it had been so, his first step would also have been his last; Reviled, maligned, derided as ho has been, how comes it that ho yet maintains such a hold of the heart of Franco ? To attribute his power solely to the adhesion of the army, as some egregious idiots still attempt to do, is obviously and ludicrously false. The army is with him, it is true ; but the army is with him only, because the people are also on his side. " The overthrow of Louis Napoleon, by civil insurrec tion, is now a thing impossible. His mission:was to crush insurrection, and he has done it thoroughly and com pletely, leaving no room whatever for the re-appearance of the hydra-head. What Louis Philippe could not accomplish—the suppression of the barricades—Louis Napoleon has effected at once by the strong hand of absolute power. Liberty iu France had entirely die appeared amidst the saturnalia of unbridled licentious ness. There was no choice left, except between mot:- rule, and autocracy ; and society, consulting its own safety, infinitely preferred the latter. " We have, therefore, now to deal with Louis Napo leon as a new power in Europe, and not the least for midable, if wo consider his position, and what he has already accomplished. Single-handed he has taken anarchy by the beard, and dashed it down. He has stepped in before legitimacy ; and, as we think, has utterly destroyed the chance, ic any existed, of the re storation of the heir of the house of Bourbon. Whilst the Count do Chambord was dreaming, hesitating. waiting for a summons which France, in the hour of her distraction and extremest agony, might send him, the nephew of the Emperor showed himself in the midst of France, claimed his rights to act as a citizen and as a man, and in an inconceivably short period of time conquered that position which the other asserted to be his due. We yield to none in veneration for the claims of legitimacy ; but such claims aro absolutely autile when vested in the person of a faineant. The days have gone by when the monarchs of Europo could league together to reimpose a weak and fugitive prince upon a recusant people; and we need never again ex pect to behold their recurrence. The appeal of the heir of Saint Louis !ay to the French people. He might have made it with effect when the usurping house of Orleans was driven out, and when the middle classes, terrified at the revolutionary phantom they had evoked, were ready to have given their countenance to any arrangement which promised to insure the safety of life and property, arid the firm adminiLtration of the laws. But at that juncture, nothing was seen of the Count de Chambord, and the opportunity was lost for ever. Louis Naeoleou appeared, and took the vacant place." It must be observed, that Blachwoodlooks upon the future as " ominous of another era of war, bloodshed, and devastation" ; but let us not thus sombrely count upon the revival of wide-spreading disasters throbgh out Christendom. Fraser.—An " Alabama Man" contributes to the current number of Fraser a brief paper, which, in the estimation of many people, will doubtless be re garded as the most attractive Magazine article for November. The writer is evidently familiar a ith his subject, and pens his remarks quite con amore. They have reference to the career and character of the now celebrated author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin " being entitled " Some account of Mrs. Beecher Stowe and her Family." According to the Alabama Man, the family numbers altogether—exclusive, of course, of grandchildren—the apostolic number of twelve. The old father, Dr. Lyman Beecher, aged 78, seems to be worthy of his patriarchal position. His sons — William, Edward, Henry, Charles, Thomas, George —are all Reverends. George at least was a Reverend, having been, some years back, prematurely de atroyed by an accident. Besides these sons, old Dr. Beecher has another son, James, who is en gaged in commercial business at Boston, and four daughters : Catherine, the only maiden sister — Harriet, now the renowned authoressand two. others, Mrs. Perkins and Mrs. Hooker , the wives of lawyers of great respectability. "Family." As for Harriet Beecher (Sfouwche) is the —the world knows all about her .noble nature well enough already from the pages of Uncle Tom's Cabin." She was born, it appears, in Litchfield, U.S., about the year 1812 —being, consequently, just the same age as our greater novelist C w h i a ll rl c e o s m D m i a c n k d en a s t . The whole paper, we feel stisfi, this moment a very general perusul—and for the fact of its timely insertion, we would now gratefulexpresa to our contemporary Fraser, our sense of obligation. Besides this contribution, the Maga• sine contains as usual the continuations of Hy. patia," and of the "Autobiography of C apta i n Di g by Grand." The " Sketches of Rome under the Popo and the Republic " are concluded at last —time enoug h too—for the chapters were be com i ng deplo rably te di o us, as they have been all a l ong i ntolerably atrabilious. There are also in the number before us papers severally intitled, " Our Advocates and Ju ries ; " another, " The New Reformation ; " another , The lonian Islands and th e i r Government "; a fourth, " A few Words to Mr. Ball on his Return from the Continent; " a ; h, 'The Northman in Britain ; " and a sixth, 'The Exhibition Jury Re port',--same of them exceedingly entertaining, and all or them distinguished by a certain degree of in telligence. Ainsworth'slifagazine.—The "Lancashire Witches" reaches the seventh chapter and the third book in this month's number. It is e ntitled the Royal Declaration concerning Lawful Sport s on th e Su n d a y. " Chan g e" is the commencement of a story, rather melancholy and solemn. I n th e ar ti c l e on "Th e D u k e o f Welling ton," there is a great deal of information concerning the career of that distinguished man. at home and abroad. Among other anecdotes it is related, that the " Duke to the last often visited Lord Wellesley, who as frequently kept him waiting ; but his only re mark was, I b e li eve my b rot h er t hi n k s h e is still Governor-General of India, and that I am only Colonel Wellesley." "The Champs Elysees," trans lated from the French, is very amusing. It contains an account of the transactions that have taken place in that well-known spot. In conclusion it is remarked, " Such are the Champs Elysees, the promenade of the great and the poor, the home of cheap pl easure. E very thing is there, from the brilliant balls t o b eer stalls, from the magnificent cirque olympique t o h a lf penny theatres. On sum mer evenings the alleys are a perfect garden of grace ful women, dressed to adoration ; while mingled with them the families of the labourer and the work man ; a mixed assemblage of satin and calico, of black coats and blouses, of riches and poverty, the carriages rolling past, the gazers, the crowd, combine to form a spectacle of which the Parisian never wearies, and which stands alone in the world." " Confessions of a Private Tutor" afford a good deal of entertainment to those desiring , smart sketches , and lively sallies. " The Confederates is continued. Tait.—Tait's commences with an article on the " Poetry of Martial Enthusiasm," which scarcely equals its subject. The "Franksong," " Rueing Day," a Jutland tale, and " Luck and No Luck," are pleas ing stories. The poetical contributions consist of some verses entitled " The Daughter of James the Vast," and a comic song on the weather. " Norman Hamilton" is continued, and there are several political articles. Bentley's Illiscellany.—One of the chief articles in this number, is on the " Outposts of England; or, a Retro,pective Review of the Military and the Chan nel Islands." " A Visit to Italy," by an Architect, is continued, and describes Rome and Venice. "An Autobiography of Alexandre Dumas," will prove attractive to his admirers. There is an amusing paper, entitlel " Out of Town." United Service.—The first paper in the magazine for this month is an " Rome and French Occupation." An article on " The Duke of Wellington and Marshal Ney," cannot fail at the present time to prove inte resting. It is followed by a "Treatise on Small Arms," Part 11. " Extracts from the Journals of the late Mejor Macready," and the " Campaign in the Hills," are continued. " French and British Cruisers," and an account of " Trials on Anchors at Sheerness," will attract naval readers ; while " Three Weeks in Gambia," and the " Adventures in Mexico" are suited for general information. New Monthly.—The present number opens with " Some Reminiscences of the Duke of Wellington." A story, entitled "Esben," translated from the Danish of S. 13licher by Mrs. Bushhy, offers its attractions to the admirers of Northern literature ; but it contains more tragical and startling events than is usually the case with such writers. No. VII. of " Female No velists" is devoted to Mrs. Marsh, whose charming writings receive their due share of praise. " Young Tom Hall's Heartaches and Horses" has reached its thirty-ninth chapter. Mrs. Busbby has contributed some lines " On the Death of the Duke of Welling ton," and there is also a pretty song by J. E. Car penter, which has lately been published as a duet. It is, however, scarcely equal to the generality of this author's verses. The British Quarterly.—The most interesting arti cle in in this number is on Shakspere and Gue the. Tho comparison between two great writers is always attractive, and the present is no exception. " Chino, its Civilization and Religion," conveys much informa tion. It is amusing to rind that divorces are granted in that country on the ground of the wife's loquacity. There aro papers on "Mare's History of Greek Literature and French Memoirs of the Fronde." The remainder are chiefly suited to theologians and philosophers. The Gendenzan's Aluzazine and Historical Review. —" The Pilgrimage to Our Lady of Hal," is a very remarkable occurrence for the present day. It is well described in the chapters met with. The rem nants of ancient superstition still cling to a place sur rounded by the inventions of modern science. " The Caesars, and their Peculiarities," contain a vast amount of information in a small compass. It is a fact worthy of remark, that only three out of the twelve illustrious Emperors died natural deaths. In the "Thoughts of Joseph Joubert," honourable mention is made of his name. It appears that he was not one of the showy or superficial style of authors, but one of the studious, thoughtful race, whose lives pass away at first sight unrigarded, but whose cha racters make many reflect, and, upon reflection, ad mire their earnestness and sincerity. It is re marked of him, that "he was a man who, during the course of a long life, chiefly passed during the last century, was known to the best spirits of his time, as one richly endowed by nature, and furnished with acquired stores of the most various kind. His power of ready communication, however, was not com mensurate with his inner and outer resources. The business of M. Joubert'e life was one of preparation for what, after all, was never accomplished. Ile ' was ever heaping up thoughts upon numerous questions, social and literary. His accumulation of this kind was great ; and after his death more then 200 of those "small books," in which be had de lighted to record his thought.; on great subjects, were found ; an infirmity of mind well understood by himself, defeated his purpose of being an author, and settled him down at last merely int!) the careful worker-out of " isolated thoughts." The Topogra phy of ancient Newcastle „is very deserving of attention ; it was read at the meeting of the Archtco logical Institute, ut Newcastle, I.lst August. Ancient Newcastle was celebrated for its great advantages in position ; and it was remarked by Leland, who saw it in its prime, that " the strength and magnificence of the walls of the town far surpassed those of the other cities in England, and of most of the towns of Europe." Exhibition Lecture. fly the Rev. W. W. Cazalet. Rudall, Rose, and Carte. In a cheap form, placing it within reach of all who may happen to ba interested in the fact of its publi cation, the very admirable and perspicuous lecture delivered before the Society of Arts, on the 6th of May, 1852, by the Rev. W. W. Casalet, A.M., has recently been issued from Messrs. Rudall, Rose, and Carte's establishment. This lecture, as may doubtless be very generally remembered, had especial reference to the musical department of the Great Exhibition, the learned and accomplished lecturer having been an associate juror of Class X. A., in that gigantic enter prise. The conspicuous merits of the compact treatise here submitted to the public scrutiny are those very popular ones of extreme lucidity both in style and arrangement. Within the limits of a few sentences we find recounted the history of the organ, one of the most ancient of instratnents. Afterwards we have all the principal facts connected with the invention of the piano forte, whether sqnnre, grand, or upright. Then the harp is described. Under the bead of " Stringed Instruments," we find an account of the violin, the viola, and the violoncello. Under that of " Wind Instruments," we are told of the progress made in the manufacture of the flute, the oboe, the bassoon, and the clarionet. Under that of " Brass Instruments," e s e ," with er in ther regard key ar d Many we hear of the horn. the trump et, and the saxo p hone. b Lastly llaie a c n o d m e t hteheco"rirnealve tplisnisobt:rytu. the emy interesting Instruments," t lecturer ptoarit'iCeuolmarms e a r r c e la i l e n fi e n la e ho g n iven s 7 in regard to the " Em ployment of Labour," and in regard to the ig Social Mural Relations" affecting the subject treated of by the intelligence of the Rev.

A little gilt-edged collection of fugitive pieces in verge, with a lyre represented on the cov er; an d among the contents, " Norostics " and, " Lines in an Album, and others " To my Wife," 'and others (like the motto of a glass sea l) " Such is Life," and " A " Voice from the Old Year," and a st anza or two on " Friendship "—evidently in every page of it (and there are only forty-eight in number) one of those aromatic little productions breathing of the drawing room, and written for the delight of one's own circle of friends and relatives. With these kind of effu sions criticism has nothing whatever to do. We might as well expect Mr. Davidson or Mr. Jules Janin to sit in judgment upon the musical perfor mance of an ev en i ng par t y — upon " Th e Batt le of Prague," by th e young l a d y i n h er teens , o r upon the " Adelaida" o f th e gent l eman i n th e w hite nec kcloth. very amiable.

NEW LITHOGRAPHED MAPS OF INDIA.--The Directors of the East I n di a Company have ordered that there shall be lithographed, .with a view to assisting the parlia mentary inquiry into the operation of the Charter Act, o utline maps, representing by distinction of colours the different native states, and specifying the superficial area of these atatea and their population. • t
