Th e c o nv erseeions about "Pa radise j- , 18t" here referred to would have rejoiced the heart c/ i r ~,Richarlson—aet the novelist, but t he friend iroaiwell's Secretary. " Next of the three ar ticles of importance in regard to pomi tion, tit foremost in point of interest, is the continuation of Sir Butwer Lytton's glorious "Novel," recounting the fortunes. of the ill-fated Nora, the miserable ;I:tie:7 Egerton, the eccentric Iticcahocca, the brit- Violante, the gentle Helen, the dreaming Leoneed, the practical Richard Avenel, honest Squire Hizledean, s imple-hearted Parson Dale, poor deed John Burley, good-natured Dr. Morgan, and a "ewd of other personages as diversified as any ficti tious multitude ever .grouped together since the time when Le Siee e Penned his incomparable novel of novels —"Gil Bias." The mystery surrounding the career of Audley Egerton—pointing him out as the father of Leonard, the destroyer of Nora, and the betrayer of Harley ]'Estrange—is all explained with very" masterly lucidity and with a natural and per suasive pathos that every warm-hearted reader will at once recognise and bow down to as irresistible. The close of the present instalment—bringing us, we fear, to the very verge of the conclusion—is a start ling incident that renders us breathless with anxiety for the fate of the beautiful Violante. The third of the more noticeable papers in Blackwood for August is the last article in the number, a political paper— very enthusiastic, very vigorous, and very mistaken, in which a variety of chickens are counted before they are hatched—the writer exulting somewhat loudly on what he believes to be the triumph of Lord Derby's Government. The argument is a .6 pendant" to a former one in which the elections were looked forward to with many sanguine anticipations. If the author of the paper is mistaken in regard to his facts, as we believe him to be, he is at any rate mar vellously clever in the manner of their arrangement. In this respect he must be allowed to have wr i tte n, per - . .hapse the ablest statement yet put forward in behalf of the present Administration. A second instalment of 4 ' Katie Stewart" reveals yet more plainly the skill of the story-teller. A pleasant gossipping contribution is the one entitled " 'The Moor and the Loch," and hardly -less agreeable the criticism headed "From Stamboul to Tabriz." Besides these, Maga contains a curious chapter upon "gold," in reference to the important interests of Taxation, Emigration, and Foreign Dependence. F RA SE It. Under the comprehensive and suggestive title of "Gold and Emigration," the writer of the introductory article in Fraser for August has grcuped together a very valuable store of facts relating to the precious Metal—especially interesting to all whose inclinations are bent towards Australis. Among the most ex traordinary of the particulars here commented on, is the astonishingly rapid increase during the last ten or , eleven years in the produce of gold—from 5,000,000 in 1 840, to 17,500,000 in 1850, and, still mote, in 1851 to 22,500,000—•-anl thi? ' according to Wyld's estimate, 11 ,,,n authority beyond the chance of contradiction. Fraser iogenic - • n ly r - marks upon the effects of gold • 0 0 prices, that— ' Th„ invention of the London Clearing•house, which Betties monetary trarsuctiocs averQr.,ing three millions , ' 14 4, by means o; two hund r e d thousand p ounds in bank•notes was quiva,int to the open:ng of gold mines far rich ,, r than thobe of C alifornia an('. Australia." The influence o f old is subseque ntl y s p oken of at some length as affording a wholesome incentive very. recently to emigration. At first the rush was to California, across the isthmus o f Panama, or round Cape Horn, between adventurers from England and 4na . erica—now the s t rugg l e h as been to reach the ne e l on gkbourhuod of B a th urs t by crowded vessels of Z_ United leaving the p or t o f L on d o n and the coast of United States. In the additional chapters of a c . ": 3 -9 a P e t : i t i iar the Rev. Charles Kingsley has borrowed The nez rorn Mr. Jlrndy ce—anent the "east wind." from Inland, reminds entitled "Familiar Epistles in g twent paver yo y rk Years reminds one of theliterary tomahawk ago in the pages of "Regina," when flourished as a f all glory O . f e fivras the Boanerges, and when, in the t a o g n e d n e e n t t s Y n e o l w low a- p d lu n sil s c u rit l ic e .

After which w e have 2, some at elaborated review of the " Memoirs of Lord Langdale;' The " Autobiography of Captain Digby as our Yankee bret hren say, " progresses," • but its progress just now happens to be rather slow and uninteresting. The " Sketches of Rome" dis play to us such personages as the statesman Azeglio, ths preacher Ventura, and the demagogue Ciceroac chi°. , s Uncle Tom'o Cabin," the name of the closing article, is simply nothing more nor less than Mrs. Stowe's work reviewed. Prior to this Fraser contains a critical chapter about " and the Royal Aca demy," and a series of running commentaries on Austrian poets, including swab names as those of 'AMU, Seidl, Bauernfeld, Castelli, and Grillparzer TAIT. We mi s Thomas de Q - ;incey—not long ago first in the list of Tait's contributors. Where is be ? 'Wkly has he no pQnsion ? It were sad for a man of unquestionable genius like the Opium Eater, to be forgotten. As another instalment of the series of papers about "The Government of Continental Europe," the comments on the kingdom of Prussia are this month brought to a conclusion. Saveral stories, constituting magazine articles somewhat of the old , fashionvd style, light, gossipping, and sometimes sparkling into a very good semblance of vivacity, lend their charm to the current number—such arti- Pies us "The Stinctuary," or as "The Loves of an Apntlarcarv," or as "Old Roads and 04.1 The last-n; entioned is this ti me descriptive of the "tlchihg era, and recalls many a pleasant gallop over the cri ) p macadamized highroads of .

Professor Creasy's history of " Un successful Great Itien" r-aches its sixth number, with that of " - The Wise cad chivalrous Montcalm, the lust and best of tte Paladins of France beyond the western wave," as his biographer styles him. A chapter on rats is highly interesting, in which the character; habits, and general history of this obnoxious • animal are carefully explained ; few persons, notwith standing its übiquity, are acquainted with the origin or 1.1 . ,e of the rat, who is not a native of this country, and, indeed, the author goes so far as to state his beli.f that it has emigrated from Persia, and gradu ally colonised the whole of Europe. The tale of " A Race for an Heiress" is poor, and endeavours to show that. %when an heiress is in TEstion all feelings o f honour, affection, and truth must be necessarily eat aside. COLBURN'S UNITED SERVICE. "Notes on the War with Burmah," by an Officer of the Bengal Army, is continued. " Musings and '-rulbing about the Goodwin S)nd3," by Robert Por '" , "us. contains some account cf the system on which "w rcckage carried on, the behaviou r of the Deal boatme n when vessels are in distress on the sands, Ind other particubirs. We have also a history of Japan and its neighbours. A letter from Lieutenant- Colonel Beamisn on Captain Norton's projectiles can not fail to prove attractive to all who take any interest 14 the long range of fire-arms which has creat ed , a sensation of late, and we feel ashamed to think that through the prejudice and p:,rty feeling which xisted (end still exists) in the committee at AV()0 1 - tvich, that foreign ...ztates reap• the benefit of the dit coveries and labours of our countrymen. COLI3URN'S NEW MONTHLY. ThA number before us exhibits a great variety. - - The first article, "Tile Day Dream," is a moat meliiic - hely and' absurd story, the more so on neco .a: of it, ex e:ding improbability. An Eng lish gent l eman , G. Vansittart, endeavours to ameliorate the condition of the Irish pea santry ou a cer t a i n estate ; after much t o il an d trouble he succee ds beyond his hopes. S u dd enly fanatical priest returns after a long absence, is in dignant at the change, denounces the benefactor from the altar, and causes him to be mu rdered. `it's) fourth numb er o f "F ema l e Novelists"contains a v ery good criticism on the author of "Olive." "A Day's limiting at Baden Baden" does not pay anY compli ments to the Germ an s tyle of carrying on such amusements.

" Sir J4 , per Care v" is continued, and J'tnathan Freke Slingsby contributes a ddightful LTI eCi 37, un de the lit of "A Midsummer D,ay Dr am ; or, a Mestntrie Myth." Most readable is the I).per which carri€.l. us through the pages of :that glorious old tra velkr, Sir John and intexsting as well writceo, is the notice of Guizlt's "Corneille and his Times," and " ShaltQpeare End his Times." The other contributions are of average excellence. " Mis. ceflanea Literaria" is very rve,l!. worth perusing. A random extract will salve partly to denotO its nature : " Humbug, which is in universal use, if not chssitally admissible into an English dictionary., comes unques• tionably from Hume of the Beg, a ScO!ch laird (*o.cailed from his estate), who was celebrated in Edinburgh so ciA,y, during the reigns of William and Anne, for the marvellous tone of his -stories, in which he indulged so commonly that they became proverbial; and , thus, a very long shot was always designated, 'a regular Hume of the Bog.' Hence, by simple contraction, Humbug." Epitaphs and Elegiac inscriptions are also brought on the Lapis, and the death .lied jests of celebrated men. In " Sir Jasper Carew," is one of the truest sayings on record, viz. : "No man ever knows when, where, or whom he'll marry. IL'a all nonsense, planning and speculating about it. You might as well look oat for a soft spot to fall in a steeple-chase. You come smash down in the very middle of your speculations." AIN SiVO R'i H. " The Lancashire Witches" have reached the fourth chapter of the third book in this miscellany. They are followed by some sketches of forest lite, which describe " A Fox Hunt," " Gipsies," and " Taking the Deer." Two chapters of Miss Addi- son's tale of " Florence Hamilton" are given, and "The Days of Margaret of Parma" are continued. There are various other tales and sketches, and a story in verse taken from Boccacio's "Decameron." THE ART JOURNAL. This splendid periodical contains, as usual, a num ber of splendid engravings ; among them the statue of " Highland Mary," by B. E. Spence, the head of "A PerAtan Warrior," by William itty, and "The 1 - 10iffl: for the Watch," by W. Bird—the two latter paintings in the Vernon Gallery. Sew ral minor illus trations, such as the specimens of German Artists, and the drawing of " Spes," as imagined by Professor Macke of Dusseldort—lend their embeliishment to the pages of the publication. Karel du Jardin is the " Great Master of Art," whose works are represented this month in a series of charming woodcuts. The letter-press is more than usually intelligent. THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE AND HISTORICAL REVIEW. The criticism ou the " Life of Dr. Chalmers," by his son-in-law, the Rev. William Hanna, is here con cluded. In the " Wanderings of •an Antiquary" there is a detailed account of Pevensay Castle. There is an interesting chapter on " Godfrey William Leibnitz," by Francis Harwell, which must be wel come to all students. The article on a revived.manu facture of coloured glass us.efl in ancient windows, which was read at t:te meeting of the Royal likti tute of British Arcintcct•, gives a greai-, deal of previously unknown discoveries on the methods - used by the ancients. It; has been ascertained that the purple blue Vas formed by cobalt, and not lapis hitnerro asserted. In the " Correspondence of Sylvanus Urban" there is a variety of anti• quarian researches and curious accounts. • LE ULLET. This journal contains as usual three charming plates and several sales anti verses. The best of these is " Widdy Carroll's Lament," which describes the sorrow of a poor Irishwoman at selling her pig before emigrating. THE BIOGRAPHICALIIIAGAZLIV E. Vol. IL—Nos. 7 and 8. These two numbers conthin, among other interesting 1 ive9, biographies of William Wordsworth, Joseph Hume, and Thomas Ingoidsby. TEE COLONIAL AND ASIATIC REVIEW. This is the second number of this magazine, which is entirely devoted to the consideration of the affairs of the colonies. "Australia and its Gold Fields" occupy a prominent place, and most of the remaining articles treat of India and its inhabitants. The de gcription given of "A Happy Valley" in New Zea land is most attractive to the adventurous, and " A Treatise on the Screw Propeller" will interest the scientific. THE ENGLISHMAN'S MAGAZINE. No. I. This is the first number of a magazine which is intended " to supply the long-felt want of a monthly periodical of sterling merit, at the very low price which the present facilities for cheap production now render practicable." It is written in a very superior style, and there, are articles on several interesting subjects. Among these may be noticed a biography of the late Mr. Sheil, and•a literary parallel of Pas cal, Dante, and Milton. It will therefore be seen that is is devoted to the consideration of subjects of a dif ferent class to the trifling and ordinary ones which usually occupy the pages of cheap miscellanies. We trust that, as the editor observes, a large sale alone c a n make such a project successful, that his hope may be realised in its being favourably received by the public. FREAKS OF IMAGINATION. Part 1. Ttle present number of this batch of original tales, by Jocundui Steelnib, comprises "The Lawyer's Clerk," " The Unjustly Accused," and " The Doc tor and his• Patients." The work, which is rife with excellent matter, will , be concluded in the next num ber, the last and Eighth story being " A Trip to the Moon." MISCELLANEOUS. Foremost among thy miscellaneous periodicals stil a=waiting mention at cur hands—the Eclectic Review is this month, in regard to its contents, sufficiently diversified and attractive ; the most genial is the little memorial criticism on the `sLife and Poetry of Delta," though et times the ire ewer becomes robe painfully pr ag matical.

Nationality ia the distreguishrog characteristic of our northern countrymen, end we are glad to state that the. vast responsibility which has been incurred by the committee of unin,:gement in this case will be tact by the warmest support. The gathering unner, the j o int maneg4neet of the Scottiar Society of Lonfion and the thnover•park Club, on Tnursdey end Friday next, in Lord Hoiland'aPark, al; Ken sington, promises, by the abundance of amusement which fillsto overflowing the programme, to be one of the: n eo a teattractive fetes of the season. Every sort and deseeiption of spur; and pastime, ancient, me diaeval, 'and modern, will be exhibited. The dance, of course, will form a great • feature, , and a grand tournament, with exhibition of the • ancient sport of hawking, will be added to the immense list of attrac tions. Altogether, the Scottish fete promises to be one of the most attractive _gatherings yet planned by the spirit of the northern clubs, yet thrown open to the southerns and their own countrymen. Lord and Lady Holland have issued cards of invi tation to more than . 300 of the nobility, gentry, &c., to a grand banquet, to be given by them on Thursday nighta in'that part of the grounds in the immediate vicinity of the house, known as the New Winter Garden. The trees will be illuminated by from 6,000 to 8,000 variegated lainps, and there will also be a grand display of Frenerh and Italian lamps and lanterns. The banquet will include a ball and supper, aml,.during the evening a number of the best Scot tish dancers will perform ; and other amusements will be provided by the noble host on this occasion. The metropolitan correspondent of the Inverness Courier says of Oh approaching file—" The pro gramme is of portentous magnitude, and announces pastimes and sports, ancient and modern, sufficient, one would think, to cccupy a couple of months rather than a couple of days for the due performance. This display is to be the 'fete of the season,' and is less of a Scottish national tban•of a cosmopolitan charac ter. No doubt there are to be the old pastimes of foot-racing, hammer-throw ing, caber-tossing, stone putting. But there are to be added specimens of wrest ling, exhibiting the systems of Westmoreland and Cumberland, per contra those of Devon and Corn wall; French cane and breton ; racing in sacks, in wheel-barrows, blind-folded, on stilts per contra of hap shackled feet and legs. Besides are there not to be the rolly-polly and the three-legged races, with the merits of which most people are unacquainted ? Then there are to be specimens of the English horn pipe, the Scottish reel, and tire Irish jig; morris and maypole dances ; chivalric tournaments on horseback; variety of feats in every kind of sword and target exercise ; tilting, jousting, and quintain—the last an ancient game which has lain on the shelf perdu since Queen Elizabeth's time, and now to be roused from its long slumber. But perhaps the most attractive affair is to he a hurdle race by six large monkeys.' ienhcowuritaghearsnecte::turoeftobpgapsispethmat.utshice,reofisßnigoilrolannm ford home madethe dresses,.of the national game of thcam e tt a c u k s , ed l cannot explain.

Nature has done her utmost for this charming spot, and the beautiful grounds are now dressed in their most attractive garb—the verdure of the lawns, the brilliance of the parterres, the luxuriance of shrubs and exotics, and the many-hued foliage of the lofty trees, all lending their fascinating aid to this scene of enchantment. Nor have the valuable accessories of art been neglected. Season after season have extensive alterations and additions been made, until it appeared last year, the year of the Exhibition, that perfection could no further go. But the seal of the director is un tiring, and during the recess numerous improvements of the most costly and valuable nature were introduced. Amongst the rest water has been made to lend its brilliant and refreshing assistance, and fountains of great elegance, throw their pleasing jets, whil e grottoes of surpassing beauty, and statuary o f great artistic excellence, meat the eye at every turn. The plan of Cremorne seems to be, that the round of pleasurable excitement shall never slacken. Amusement follows amusement with endless variety and novelty, so that from the opening of the gates till midnight there is a perpetual succession of entertainments. Never, ea r _ tainly, were more varied or attractive amusements offered to the pleasure-seeker.

Western; and the other giving esatenraceinnt of the resu lt s line for the fi ve months,_ comprised between January 30. On the first point, the e y 28 and Jun o a sketch of the various projects report rhi gives been proposed for the execution of the li ne in g el) had i and the reasons which had determined the Boa r d to ject all the offers made to it to act with others, and t o claim for the Western Company the exclusive right to the proposed rdilway, so as to enable the Caen and Crier bourg line to give Lull satisfaction to the Rants of the populations of Normandy and Brittany, from being placed in favourable communication Rith the Western line. It shows how the pretensions of toe St. Germain Company to the proposed junction line were set aside, and hew the claims cf the Western Company were fully admitted by the Council cf State and the Legislative Body. The whole length of the branch line, it states, will be about 125 kiloni. (78i English miles), the con strue Lion presenting no particular difficulty, no tunnel being required, and the line passing through a country abounding in wood, iron, stone, and all the materials of construction. The expense, as calculaied by the Minister of Public Worhs, will be 34 LLtlllcus, or 272,000 f. per kilom. But looking at tho facilities which the Government is at ,present disposed to afford for the new lines to be con structeC, the Board conceives that a great reduction racy be effected in that sum, the engineers of the company being of opinion that 200,000 f. per kiloin. will be per fectly adequate. But even in allowing a wine margin for any unexpected circumstance, the expense cannot, the report declares, be more than 230.000 f. per kilom., which will give a maximum of 30,000,000 for the total coa st. As a subvention of 14,000,000 has been granted to the company by the state, the sum which the com pany will have hereafter to provide will be at the utmost 20,000,0 00 , one-half of which will be issued in shares, and the other half in debentures. The report then touches on the probable produce of the transverse line, and votes the opinion of Baron de Conde, us expressed in the official report which he sent in to the Government on the subject, from which it was to be inferred that the line would give at least IB,ooof. of gross receipts, or 9,000 f. of nett revenue per kilom., being as high a return for the capital expended, as is seen on the generality of the great lines in France. The report, after stating that there wag no necessity for raising the capital in question at present, as the corn , parry had sufficient funds in hand far the first expenses, proposes to the meeting to sanction the execution of the , lino in question by the Western Company. The report then cornea to the second point—namely, the result of the working of the Western line from tho 28th January to 30th June. The receipts during that period amounted to ... ... 1,525,610 f. 40. And the: charges and expenses to 956,256 f. 120. Leaving a nett profit Of ••• --- .560,353 f. 92c. or seine thing more than llf. per share. The report, howevrai., does not propoie to distribute at present as dividersd the whole of that sum, its reasons being as signed 'in the following words: —`put after having thus stated in figures the nett produce accruing from this part of the 'vforking, we con sider itonths pour duty to re ll m see our ark to yon tbitt the second six m he year wi charges increased in a notable proportion.

If carried out, it is believed that the line will prove of the utmost advantage, to Ruthin and its neighbourhood. The greatest facilities will be afforded to the farmers and landowners, for sending their crops and stock to the more lucrative English markets. The local traffic in coal will also be much increased, and the Vale of Clwyd 'will alto be thrown open to the tourist. The line then would be carried on to the Chester and Holyhead Railway, running into it at Rbvl.

TIMES.—A Boston beauty once difieed the at tentions of a Pennsylvanian admirer as " Sorter honest courtship and sorter not; but a darned deal more sorter not than sorter." Siellsrly Lord John Maneers, towards the close of the se lion, described the slate of the n::ve Victoria-street sewer as " partly satisfactory and partly unsseisfeetory ;" eor do we doubt but that the inhabitants of that neighbourhood could finish off the ccmperisen. Finally, Major Dawson, on the same i. , uhject, has delivered himself of an address which is decidedly both agreeable and disagreeable, and ir, is to this composite oration that s r. com id p ik e e lle i d n ja w : nc ee ta r n n f ef a r i j i y i t e e l t ts d o u t r o s e r l e v f e e anecdote. If I o fr remarks sew hadwe sh o g u r i a d v h el y have e scared announced u away o t y h e e s v u e rby gteoniotthirsoawdvoeffrtiwseirtsb, reader. The very name of the " Metropolitan Com mission of S ewers " ascends to the nostrils like the effluvium of an " untrapped galley-hole." It is sug gestive of nothing but juggling, jebbery, cabal, hope less abortions, and i nterminable delays, and with the inthuet the drains shade, ziobo u dy nd w er ould willinglyherm e concern his feet. Yet it is to this topic that we must perforce return, and we do earnestly bespeak the reader's consideration, for we have that to say which is very greatly to the point. There have been three " Me tropolitan Commissions of Sewers." With more or less discredit, these sanitary councils have been suc cessively extinguished, and on their ruins there has now risen a fourth. On Saturday afternoon this new Commission was formally opened, and the opportunity was seizad with great propriety by Major Dawson' one of the Commissioners, to explain at length what had hitherto not been done, and why not; as well as to announce what was likely or unlikely to remain undone still. It has heretofore been a peculiar feature of these proceedings that whereas the business of the commission made no perceptible progress, the public has been kept wholly in the dark respecting the causes of delay and the chances of improvement. These obscurities Major Dawson has betaken him self to remove, and in an address which, we may observe in passing, seemed to enlighten his own col leagues quite us much as the general audience, he gave a perspicuous and intelligible statement of the whole affair. In this part of his exposition we are hound to say that the speaker left little to be desired. He acknowledged that the true object of the Commis sion was not the mere " cleansing and repairing sewers, laying down a few hundred feet of pipe, and sitting to hear appeals against rates," but the prepa ration and execution of " a system of general drain age fer this great metropolis ;" remarking, with o bjustice, that in any other case there would ha vou v i eb s een no necessity for the appointment of such eminent and distinguished men to the office. He ad mitted, with unexceptionable candour, that as re garded this distinct and special ob j ect of th ree succes sive Commissions, the public . w ere " ver y nea rly in the same state end position as when we entered office in January, 1849 ;" that " the river Thames was as impure now as it was then ;" and that, with small exceptions, " not even the surface of the ground had been broken for the introduction of any . main sewer," Ile confessed that the first Commission " did little or nothing towards the accomplishment of the main drainage, owing to a spirit of rivalry be tween two of its chief officers, each of whom had a c? lionsu r ed id stbc i h c oa u rnd le e nl d_ tois : s h pio : n t d, o sa f hftoe t r h rt e etae o vt th ist e ih r na .; critical peint, and that a p t i se o y j so e t c ve , mn e e firs* step of the third . Commission was somewhat retrograde." All this Llt:jor Dawson did in plain terms straightforwardly avow; and such, speaking hy Comparison, agreeable part of his commuitli c . parison, is the Commissioners of Sew ers eppreei-an "3. To find the their duties so correctly, acknowledging their s!lo bl rt g c o didlv, and publishing to the wo r ld so plomiinnes so can. tus of their intentions for the future, i s an ea p t r r s m P e e - pleasant surprise. In his exculpatio n of his predeces sors in office the Major is, perhaps, a little precipitate. We could remind him, if we pleated, that the obli ge _ w et e bfor himself and his colleagues h e now con teases, were for many months together not only eluded but audaciously denied, and he will surely see upon reflexion, that a Commission, in which the " t wo chief officers" sacrificed the public interests to private cabals, must really have been open to some merited censure. However, we are content to let all this pass—to consider that the necessity of a great system was always recognised, and the impropriety of turning the Thames into a sewer always admitted. If the Commissioners will go honestly to work at last, we will say nothing about arrears of duty, but will gi ve them all assistance in grappling with the realities before them. These realities Major Dawson has clearly delineated, and to this disagreeable department of the subject we must invite the reader's attention for a few moments more. Work cannot be done without money, and the money of the Commissioners is pro vided by rate. At present they possess 3,3511. 193. 4 , 1. actually in hand, and from arrears of rates uncol lected they are in expectation of 36,0991. 17s. 43. more, leaving a total of less than 40,0001. The rating powers of the Commis ion extended originally to ls. in the pound, a limit which was reduced to 3d. some time ago, but increased again very recently to 63. Under these powers, when exercised over the whole metropolitan area, they calculate on levying 181,230/. But, on the other side, they are in debt 58,9911. ; the ordinary expenditure of the Commission is computed at 48,4661., and they , Nava a prospect of requiring at least 244,0001. for ex traordinary works not directly relating to the main drainage system, but " of urgent necessity, the whole of which have been repeatedly presented to the Court, estimated, prepared, and ordered to be carried into execution." For two years, therefore, at the least, w e are to conclude that the whole prospective funds of the Commission will he consumed in works exclu dee of the great system of main drainage, and Major Dawson openly i n f orms us th at this long•desired scheme, though row actually devised and approved, cannot possibly he carried into effect. Its estimated cost is 1 ,080,000/, whereas the Commissioners for the next tw o y ears w i ll not have half-a-crown at their disposal for any such purpose. We pose. aye no means of checking the particular figures budget is correctly expounded, it is perfectly clear that the metrop e lit public - - ,an must eitner consent to Ea larger temporary rate or go without purification altogether. Tho points open to inquiry are the " ordinary expenses" of the Commission, and the exigency of the " extraordinary works" which, though not part of the " great system," threaten one fourth cif its wh o l e cost. As to the estimate of the main work iteelf, we should hardly think, speaking by probabilities, that a million was an extravagant demand. We might certainly, if we were inclined to be, captiout!, observe that the difficulties now ex plained at the eleventh hour must have been obvious to every m em b er o f every Commission rhontbsand months ag o , an d t h at a c ircumstance which h at r all e nders is nugatory the appointment of any Commission not propound e d w ith a very goo d B race co uncils. Waving at the solemn inauguration of the fourth of these at once to the this coreideration, however, and coming , dmit that Major Dawhon, la point, we must a has fairly made out his mates are unimpeac ha ble, case. It is hard to forget that these Commissions, doing nothing, have never been though invariably doing - " I . excuse for leaving everything without anel Nev er theless there are plain facts now be foreundone. Works demanding a million sterling cannot us. possibly be executed by a Commission whose current liabilities for the next two years mu s t a ve rage 160 0001. a year. and whose gross available incom e , 9 00 0001. We have fair c om plaint w ill be und e r R those who so long made a mystery of their hist as cid o ; but if it is now duly stated, the responsi ? fu t ure will rest with ourselves. baits, TRH NEW " PASSENGERS ACT "—An important Act was passed in the late cession " to amend and consoli date the laws relating to the carriage of passengers by sea.'
