By Miss Laura Jewry. T. C. Newby. Already the authoress of these volumes has secured to her writings the interest of those many admirers who have so frequently luxuriated in her romantic compositions. Several of her literary capabilities v,e have ourselves had occasion to commend in the course of our criticisms upon her two last stories—the do mestic tale of "The Cup and the Lip," and the en thralling narrative of " The Forest and the For tress." Although there were occasional evidences in the former work of merits somewhat beyond those of the ordinary class of contributors to the circulating libraries, there were in the latter tokens of ability very far elevated above the range of that department of our fictitious literature. It was a happy thought, that of celebrating the strange and marvellous ca reer of Kara George the late Hospodar of the Servians—a man whose fitful temperament and ex traordinary adventures, to say nothing of his very remarkable and startling vicissitudes, eminently qua lified him to become the hero of a boek penned in the wildest strains of the rotnaticist. Nevertheless, sin gularly meritorious vs were the series of incidents strung together in " The Forest and the Fortress," they were in no degree comparable to those which, in the exquisite story of " The Ransom," showed that Miss Laura .Jewry was worthy to take her place among the most successful of the disciples of the Author of " Waverley." Instead of reverting, how ever, to the fairy-land of the romances of antiquity, or rather to that of the days of the middle ages, our novelist has here consented to follow the dictates of an ambition leading her evidently in search of popularity, and conducting her, therefore, into the homelier regions of London and Gloucestershire. Happily, however, Miss Jewry has placed the imaginary characters of her narrative in the time of the Merry Monarch. At the com mencement of the work we find ourselves introduced to English society as it was immediately after the demise of old Oliver Cromwell, and at the elevation of his son Richard to the difficult and onerous office of the Protectorate. As the plot becomes more de veloped the domestic interest is enhanced by an in terest of a political character, and the reader is summoned as it were to participate in the popular enthusiasm excited by the memorable surprise of the Restoration. Charles the Second is still on the throne when the fictitious history is brought to a conclusion, but long before then our attention is effectually diverted from any sort of regard for the events connected with the general organiza tion of the Government. Whatever interest is inspired in the reader's heart by the tale teller is restricted to the limits of the magic circle within the circumference of which her bodiless crea tions move through all the varieties and alternations of good and evil fortune. Several heroines—as hath become of late "the fashion" among our more po pular novelists—share our sympathies amongst them selves and carry us in imagination now to the squa lid lodging-houses of Old London, now to the rural cottages under Broadway Hill, now to the manor at Campden, now to the manor at Carew, now on board the little buccaneering "Frolic," now into the green lanes and fertile meadows of Glouces tershire. The story here recounted by Miss Laura Jewry, it is painful to learn from the Pre face, is " ower true," b ein g founded sa y s our autho ress on " a remarkable fact," the authenticity of which she thereupon places beyond the possibility of misapprehension by adducing an original letter (relating to the event), penned by a relation of the unfortunate Sir Thomas Overbury. Thus invested with " flesh-and-blood" interest, the novel of " The Tide of Life" bears the reader onward on its current. An obscure family of cottagers living in Gloucester shire, upon the ancient estate of the Campdens—a family consisting of Joan Perry, a peevish old house wife, with the reputation of a witch and the irascibi lity of a scold, John her elder, and Dickon her younger son, the former fierce and fanatical, the lat ter honest but evil fated—furnishes the materials for whatever is either tragic or impassioned in the narra tive. It is upon their destinies that the rest of the fiction is built up as upon a foundation appropriate to that species of superstructure. A village beauty, called Grace Miles, the tiring maid of one of the heroines — Henrietta L'Estrange —is first of all the betrothed of John and after wards the bride of Dickon. Upon the ferocious and implacable jealousy aroused in the heart of John Perry by the marriage of Grace with his brother, the whole of the darker incidents of the plot may be said to be dependent. Leading through perjuries and blasphemies to poverty and degradation, it conducts the innocent victims at last to the scaffold, after placing them under the imputation successively of being burglars and murderers. Together with this under current in " The Tide of Life," there flows on a more attractive but not less criminal series of events con nected with individuals more elevated in station than the Perrys, who are associated, however, with those humble country-folk either as their employers or as friends and associates of their employers. In this manner we are introduced to the household of the Noels—where we recognise Master Baptist Noel [not the popular preacher, by the way, but] the lord of Campden. We are introduced to the house hold of the Harrisons—where we recognise Master William Harrison [not Ainsworth the novelist, but] the agent of Lord Campden, together with hi s goo d wife, his contemptible rascal of a son, and his charm ing little piquant ward (already mentioned), laiestress Henrietta l'Estrange. Another of the Noels, a fair lady—at first insipid, but ultimately loveable—bight b mar h ried to Miranda, is betrothed and eventually Algernon Carew. Which said Algerno n , is smitten during the days of his betrothal w e i w th ay a , naughty love for Henrietta—but after his marriage with remorse, and ulteriorly withahigh w ly on p d r e o r pe i r s affection for Miranda. The last mentioned worked by the angelic agency— ange li c advisedly, _because, remember, Mr. Pickwick was a say angelic, notwithstanding his tights and his spectacles —of a young girl entitled Barbara Wrenshaw, the he cousin of Oliver Wrenshaw, the sister of Phili p Wrenshaw, and the daughter of Colonel Charles Wrenshaw—Oliver, the villain of the tale, a scheming young lawyer of the Temple; Philip, a bold and dashing pirate from the Spanish main , Captain of the " Frolic ; ' and the Colonel, a loyal gentleman, who is taken prisoner at the battle of Worcester, sold as a slave by the Roundheads, carried off to the -sugar plantations at Barbadoes, and finally discovered as a prisoner for debt in the fever-ward of Newgate—in fact a complete and veritable specimen of your gal lant, loyal, ill-starred Cavalier. Mr. Macaulay has told us how those brave-hearted defenders of the Crown sold their plate, and mortgaged their estates, and shed their blood, and suffered all the punish ments wreaked upon the unlucky Royalists—and then were quietly forgotten or overlooked after the Restoration. Of this melancholy description Miss Laura Jewry has here supplied us with a new illus tration. During the development of her plot it must be confessed that we are surprised into a breathless amazement by one or two rather curious improba bilities—some of them trivial and others important— but equally improbabilities. For example, when it is dreaded one night in the house of Master Harrison lest the poor old agent may have just been mur dered, it does, we must acknowledge it, appear to us rather unlikely that Henrietta L'Estrange should think of sitting down and coolly poring over the pages of a volume of Shakspere. We yield to no one in homage for the mightiest of minstrels—the master dramatist—perhaps of all not directly in spired intellects, the most perfect, as it is unquestionably the most wonderful in ancient or modern literature—yet we don't think, with the horror of an assassination filling our home at midnight, that we should feel disposed to read even the noblest and divinest of his compositions. We should rather, if asked to read it under these circumstances, feel inclined to hurl Shakspere (we mean the book) to the--in fact,'any where but where it ought to go. But pretty Mistress Henrietta thinks otherwise—and, therefore, she sits down to enjoy a page or two of her favourite Shakspere. Then, again, that incident about the shark following in the wake of the "Frolic"—on purpose to devour Oliver Wren shaw, as you feel certain from the first moment of its appearance—can scarcely be said to come within the range of probability. Sundry other coincidences of a hardly less marvellous character—such as the instan taneous recognition by Dr. Shirley of Barbara as the missing daughter of his old friend, Colonel Wrenshaw— might be particularized, but happily there are more agreeable peculiarities in the work to refer to, and such as may be specified in the language of commen dation. Such passages, for instance, we may parti cularly notice as the love scene, where Henrietta (in a happier m ood) is reading Shakspere to Algernon. The play is that of the Two Gentlemen of Verona— and the music of the poetry elicits the revelation of the passion. The incident reads like Leigh Hunt—it re minds one of that crowning glory of tenderness in the ever fresh and exquisite " Story of Rimini." Such again in delicacy.both of conception and of treatment, is the scene in which Barbara unfolds to the conscious ness of Miranda the manner in which she may steal breaking through into the heart of hearts of Algernon, the ice of their estrangement. Until then Miranda has been little better than what Foster: the Essayist's wife used to be according to his own curious description out a soul—and --a white marble statue surrounded by chevaux de frieze Undiee, like Miranda, seems to be with. than Fouqud did for his creation. But—the truth must of theßarbara does more for her mistress out —we, have read of the most delightful por tionssome perpetual misprints, and we have closed the book "Tide of Life" with the anguish of again and Assuredly, again with a sort of horror of the composi tors.Mr Newby had better keep watchful eye over on e . will inevitably be class of " readers," or another not actually disgusted rousedi nto. to indignation if they be (I. 113.) that the a more_ _ indifference. Fancy reading birds, while Henrietta strolled throligh a secladed sylvan t 're reat in the very heart of () 1;1 D the country, "twittered front the trees on either side of the lump"—meaning the "lane!" Fancy reading (r. 171.) that the agent's wife " held on " (not by any thing but simply, because the word ought to have been " an") " old fashioned carved casket !" Fancy reading (I. 217.) that Algernon's " consciousnessiof mutual faithfulness rendered him nervously fearful"—mean ing, of course, " mutual faithlessness." Fancy, above all, reading (11. 159) that the hospitality of a magistrate was one " to which certain matrimonial views, entertained for her daughter's wheel, he with regard to the heir of the wealthy agent, partially incited him"— meaning, Heaven knows what ! And so on, actually by misprint after misprint, down to the very last sentence in the very last page ! Aware of this, we conceive that justice has not been done to our authoress in reference to her latest composition. Notwithstanding all which, " The Tide of Life" will doubtless secure to itself its own particular group of admirers. Under any circumstances—the brilliant talents of Laura Jewry invest her latest romance with a peculiar fascination. SPORTING NOTES. CCXCIII. A BUDGET OF ST. LEGER NEWS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Srn,—The.movementh on the St. I,eger during the last few weeks, though not many, have been of a very im portant nature. In the first place, it must ba evident to most persona that the heavy investments on Daniel O'Rourke, more particularly since his defeat at York, and made, as they have been for the most part, by the leading members of the Talent, are highly indicative of which will, be Scott's horse on the 15th of next month. From what quarter the major portion of the money comes that is pus on Songstress, I am unable to discover; but that it is not laid out by the knowing ones, or those immediately concerned in the stable, I am tole rably well convinced. The observations I made concern ing this mare on the 16th instant, I here repeat; and again advise those who follow my counsel, by no means to back her for this race, as I believe, notwith standing that only 5 to 1 is to be got about her at the present moment, that she will go back to an outside price, " and possibly may not even start." Of Soott's other Leger horses, Hyacinth, Kingfisher, and Longbow are doing good work; but I fancy Hya cinth and Kingfisher are rather doubtful starters, and Longbow's chance, roarer as he is, cannot be a very good one, as he is reported, on good authority, to be pounds inferior to Daniel. his performance the other day with Stockwell at York enables Scott's party to draw a first rate lino for the stable; and as the backers of that stable aro quite satisfied with that result, it is evidently more their game to support Daniel, who, I anticipate, will be first, or, at the least, second. The Goodwood party place great faith in their Har binger, whe, on every great occasion hitherto, has bowled them over. He is doing first-rate work, and is in splendid condition. Lord Glasgow particularly fancies himself for the St. Leger this time in hie Caracara. The horse is in good condition and doing fair work. The distance will suit him; and as the weight will enable a man, not a boy, to ride him—it being a notorious fact that he requires a great deal of riding—he may perchance finish in the third or fourth place, but of his doing so I entertain grave misgivings. Claverhouse, being anything but up to the mark, will be nowhere if he starts. Lord Exeter, it seems, will send a couple to the post in Ilex and Stockwell; the former for the purpose only of assisting his stable companion. His Lordship has been moderately successful in carrying off the Oaks Stakes, but never yet accomplished the feat of winnin g a St. Leger or Derby either. He has this time as fair a chance probably as he ever is likely to possess. Stock well is doing excellent work, and having decidedly im proved upon his spring form, will be certain of finishing in front ; but as to whether it will be the first, second, or third place, at the present moment, I will not attempt to say ; Longbow running him so close the other day has caused some doubts to spring up in my mind. It has been reported that Lapidist, in an improved form, will be brought out for this stake •, if such is the case I should consider him:well worth backing at an out side figure. • King of Trumps is useless for this venture, and ditto Alfred the Great. I understand it is not improbable that, besides Lord Exeter's couple and Lapidist, Newmarket will furnish us with a starter or two in Hesperno or Maidstone, Sackbut, and perhaps King Pepin. Trousseau is reported to be going on favourably ; more I know not. Of .the extreme outside list the Major and Bermuda have, to some extent, taken the f a nc y of the pub l ic ; the former I know to be of no account, and the latter I have not ascertained anything about as yet.

The fourth annual meeting of this society w as held yesterday at the offices, New B r id ge - s treet, Black friars ; James Low, Esq , of G racec h u rch-street, presiding. The CHAIRMAN said he h ar dl y k new w h e ther to be pleased or not at the very s ma ll num b er o f su bscribars who were present on that o ccas i on. I t cer t a inly did seem somewhat extraordinary that the attendance should be so limited when they had issued nearly 7,000 policies, the holders of which must all be deeply interested in the prosperity of the society; but be f elt assured that this was o w i ng t o the conf i dence which was reposed in the board of directors, and to the knowledge that the report s an d accounts o f t h e society, giving ample information on every subject of interest, would be printed for the use of the members and the public. The report always enabled the members to see the exact position of the society, and therefore rendered it unnecessary for them t o waste any t i me by attending the annual meetings. The society originated with a few gentlemen, who unit e d t h emselves together with the view of carrying out what they believed would be an important principle in connexion with fire assurance. After examining the statistics of the sub ject, they thought there was no reason why the mu tual principle should not be successfully introduced into fire assurance, instead of having a large nut', costly proprietary, and l a yi ng aside a grea t sum 0I money uselessly. Under this system the profits aris ing from the business, after laying by a sufficient such to meet any losses which might be sustained by the society, would be divided from time to time among the shareholders. This being the fourth annual meet ing, a good opportunity had been afforded for testing the soundness of the principle on which the society was established; and the promoters considered that all their anticipations had been fully realised. In the first instance they had no funds on which to fall back, but the directors were so convinced of the se curity of the society that they made themselves re sponsible for any losses that mi g h t occur, and, o f course, it was impossible to carry on the business of such an office without some losses. During the four years the total losses amounted to 3,7341., an d th a t was made up of sums varying from ls., though it could hardly be supposed persons would make so low a claim, to 8001. and 9001. It was the main object of the directors to pay all claims as soon as their amount could be fairly ascertained, and he believed that no o ffi ce was more prompt in that respect than the British Empire Mutual. The society was not managed by persons with high-sounding names, but by plain tradesmen who had lived many years in London, and always borne an untainted and irreproachable character, and no doubt they would have more weight with the public than persons who were simply known for their • titles. He considered that the society was now fairly estab lished in public favour, but he felt that neither the directors nor policy holders had done all they could, or their 7,000 policy holders might soon be doubled. Though their income was now nearly B,oook a year , they could do ten times the business without mate rially adding to their expenses. Last year they had made their first triennial return to the policy holders, which the directors saw their way to making 12f per cent. on the premiums, and at the next distribution, two years hence, he expected they would be called to make such a return as must tell on the public mind in favour of the mutual system. He had been for many years paying 1201. per annum for premiums, and he had never had any returns from the old offices, though he would have been very glad to have obtained 12f per cent. He hoped next year every poli cy holder i would bring another, and t they brought twenty it would be all the better, as they would make then so much more profit, which must be divided amongst themselves. In conclusion, he called upon th e secre tary to read the short and pithy report which had been prepared by the directors. Mr. W. S. Gwen, the secretary, then read the report, of which the following is a copy : The directors have the pleasure to state that the pros perity of the society, so uniform and gratifying in years past, has not only been maintained but increased during the year now closed.

Sir,—Th era may be some excuse for the pertinacity with which the farmers cling to a belief in the justice of Protection when they see the inconsistencies into which some Free-traders aro led when their private interests are at stake. A striking instance of this appeared a few dc..ys since in one of the last letters of " Our own Cor respondent" from New York. In order fully to appreciate the inconsistency to which I allude, it will be recollected that the English and Ame rican Governments have each a subsidized line of steamers between Liverpool and New York; that hitherto the subsidy granted by the respective Governments being equal, there has been as fair a competition between the rival companies as the vicious system would admit of. Both have done their best in the trial of speed, and, as yet, it must be conceded the advantage lies in a slight degree with the American company. This small ad vantage (about four hours, I believe, in the race across the Atlantic) is considered by the Americans as a victory unsurpassed by the Nile or Trafalgar. Their news- I PpPe r 5 allude to it continually as a national triumph. " The cera p a ny, however, found that racing with the Bri fishers, though highly honourable, was not ( qualiy lucra tive, and, Odver Twist, w., , 0t to Congrers "to ask fur more," xpiessly on the grounds chat they bad beaten the " Britiihero," aud could nut afford to continue to do so without an additional grant. Sundry indepen dent members of Congress demurred, as the bum de manded by the American Compacy was exactly twice as much as the English Government paid for the same work, and because there were sundry enterprising New Yorkers who offend to beat the Britishers at the old price. However, at last interest nod claptrap about na tional glory prevailed, and the vote was passed. This, your correspondent—a rrgular Free-trader, be it remem bered—naively calls " rewarding the peaceful victories of American citizens." How he can reconcile his free trade principles with the approval of a bounty of the worst sort, intended avowedly to crush all competition by an overwhelming State grant, is for him to say, and the inconsistency is not diminished on learning that the agent of this gigantic monopoly in this country is a zealous free -tr a d e M em b er o f Parliament, an opponent of the Navigation Laws, Rod an advocate of unfettered commerce throughout the world. Speaking of the Americans, they seem to have peculiar ideas about reciprocity. Theyat e giveho horrified fi e e n d o enormous the es idea bounty to their own steamers, andof tho colonists giving a small one to their fishermen. They are too happy to fish in our waters, where theeisplenty of fish, and are willing, in return , to concede to us the right of fishing in theirs, where there are no fish to catch. They have doubts about the interpretation of Convention, the word " bay" in th e Fisheries but are quite sure that a voyage roun d half the world to Cali fornia is a mere coasting trip; and, finally, they have now some reciprocity i n pi c kl e about Peruvian Sam Slick used to talk ab ou t th e i r gains from wguano. ooden nutmegs, but that is nothi ng compared with the legal profits from reciprocity.—l have tho honour to be, &c., Carlton Club, Aug. 25. FAIR PLAY. (From the Times.) Most readers will recollect that during the recent de bates in the American Congress the storm y d iscussions upon national rights were varied by the int roduction cira of a very different proposition. A commercial charging itself with the navigation of the Atlaetic pa b n e y tween Liverpool and New York, and subsidized expre ss ly by the State in aid of its performances , applied to have its premium increased. As the augmentation demanded amounted to 100 per cent. on the original grant, the pe tition created some little consternation, but in the end it was granted, and the American line of Atlantic steamers will henceforth receive twice the subsidy before given. This circumstance has been made the subject of allusion by a correspondent, whose communication, with the sig nature of " Fair Play," will be found in another part of our impression. That the writer is strangely mistaken in his reference of the question to that of free trade will be very easily discovered ; but the general train of thought suggested by the letter may be turned, we con ceive, to some profitable account. It is by no means clear that these matters are rightly understood either on one side of the ocean or the other. Between Liverpool and New York there are running two lines of steamers, one British and one American, encouraged in each case by large grants of money from their respective Governments to perform the voyage in the shortest possible time. The subsidy contributed to the British line amounts to a quarter of a million ster ling; that enjoyed by the American Company was till lately about the same. It is understood that, in consi deration of these special allowances, the stipendiary companies are to disregard certain ordinary views of mercantile enterprise. The vessels are built for speed only, and carry no heavier cargoes than mails and pas sengers, their otherwise enormous tonnage being ab sorbed in engine and coal room. They differ, in fact, from vulgar merchantmen little less widely than ships of war, being constructed not, indeed, for fighting, but for running, to the prejudice of all more productive ca pacities. Under these circumstances the passage across the Atlantic has been reduced from weeks to days, and is now literally a question of hours. The American steamers, though not excelling our own in their average performances, have succeeded in winning one race by about half a neck; that is to say, the very quickest transit on record—being four hours shorter than that next to it—has been executed by an American vessel. As the passage may be set at about 250 hours, there, of course, seems margin enough to make up the odd four, and it is evident that favourable circumstances of work or weather might any day turn the scale in favour of the English. The competition, indeed, is to be prosecuted more vigorously than before, and it is upon this assumption, coupled with the credit of " victory," that the American company has sun ceedEd in obtaining the large increase of subsidy men tioned above. Between the two Governments, therefore, a bounty amounting to something like three-quarters of a million annually will be paid upon ocean racing. Now, there can be no doubt that it is of the very highest import ance to bring two such countries as Great Britain and America as close as possible to each other. It may be conceded, also, that the great principle at stake is not damaged by the smallness of the g ain a pp arently pro curable. Four hours is not a large proportion of 250, but, if hours and even minutes had not been closely reckoned, that very average of 250 would never have been reached. A chronometer obtains the prize over another by the difference of thirty seconds in a year. This difference in itself may be inappreciable, but it is owing to this compe t i t i on for seconds that o ar ordinary timepieces go so well to minutes. In a good all ot.her race the actual difference will always be sm . wise, indeed, the race would not be a good o ne. _ . Bat, granting all this, is it worth while, upon sound possibly .0 . tainable at so high a premiere, and if £O, is t h is premium offered in the most advisable shape and manner? Considering the relative position of the two countries, their commercial relations, and their natural advantages, it is perfectly certain that the traffic across the oc . ean which divides them would not only be performed with out the aid of bounties, but would be performed under the stimulus of strong competition. This competi be itimately pushed to the lion would not eed g extent of trading ind without p rofit. Remuneration would always be looked to as a fair condition of a voyage ; but what, it may be asked, would be the probable difference between voyages thus executed under the ordinary incentives of trade, and those performed under the artificial encouragement of bounties? It is for this difference, and nothing mere, that our state pre miums are now paid; and if 11a miles an hour could be done at a profit, is it desirable to do 11i at a loss? Per haps it may be said that four or five hours difference in the delivery of a mail may make the difference of peace or war between the two countries, and that we need hardly look beyond the recent crisis for an illustration of the contingency. But would even the mails, on the whole, be carried less expeditiously than at present if the duty were left to the unaided energies of British and American mariners? For it is not to be forgotten that if bounties provide us with one swift line of steam-ship s , they entirely drive all other s from the fi eld. If the . sti mulus of fixed premiums i s ga ined, the stimulus o f againstfre co mp e tition is lost. No vessel will attempt to run : another which starts with the advantage of a subsidy. The reader will easily observe that there is a great distinction between bounties thus allotted and the en couragements commonly offered to mechanical or scien tific excellence. When premiums were proposed for the best chronometers, we did not contract beforehand to pay an annual stipend to some manufacturing house, but adjudged the reward to the best performance after free competition. In the same way with racehorses and with yachts, there are substantia l incentives to exc ellen ce, but they do not include special bounties to breed e rs _ or builders, altho ug h the or di nary stimulus in of that tcomP:i tition is much wea k er in these m seagoing steamers. It is hardlycasceles thanar there f or e that our policy in thi s respect i s sound, although , other hand, it may be said, perhaps, t h a t wor t : a l; erica at stake than mere superiority of speed.

Bosio tocl the place of Ma dame Ccistelian. Tbis effective work of Meyerbeer's was never better represented than it was yesternight for the last time this season.

On Saturday Ernani is to be revived for Signor Negrini's second appearance in England. EQUO-A.EROSTATION. Madame Poitevin effected her first ascent from Cremorne Gardens last evening on a beautiful little white pony, full of life and fire, and which appeared to be at the very moment of ascent in the enjoyment of quite as much se lf-possession and spirits as was its fair and intrepid rider. At seven o'clock the ropes of the balloon, which were held by twenty-four Chelsea pensioners, were let go, and "Le Zo diaque" rose majestically. The lady, who was attired in the ordinary female equestrian cos tume, remained gracefully .seated in the saddle for several minutes after leaving the earth, and then mounted by means of a rope-ladder into the car in which her husband sat. The ascent was a very in teresting and pleasing spectacle, and one unnalloyed by the slightest apprehension of danger. She landed with her companions in safety, a little on this side of Hounslow, and re-entered the gardens at half-past t en , where she wa s unanimously greeted, as on her aerial departure, with the utmost cordiality and en thusiasm. The sports of the Hippodrome went off with great effect, and all the amusements of Cremorne afforded unqualified enjoyment to a vast concourse of visitors, especially the new ballet of Le Barbier de Cadiz, which elicited throughout.unceasing peals of laughter and applause, the latter being especially demonstrated by four encores awarded to the brilliant dancing of the Mdlles. Cashnie and M. Milano. LIVERP OOL ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE. Madame Celest e always fill a theatre, because in her peculiar line she has not, nor ever had, a rival on the stage. The selection of pieces in which she plays be trays her taste and judgment; and her exquisite acting exhibits that fascination which is one of the attributes of true genius: it charms b e fore it can be analysed, and compels criticism to find the reason why it pleases with out questioning the source of pleasure. Buoyant, grace ful, energetic, b u t still emine ntl y feminine, Madame Celeste loses her personality in the part; and thus the national disadvantages which operate against other foreigners become, in her, recom mendations. She now speaks the Englis h' language with fluenc her y, words. and yet Her her g estures are more " speaking" than visit to the United Stat es has not, of course, impaired her power of pleasing; and her reception on Monday evening was a testimony to the memories her presence had revived. During the week she has appeared in the well-known pieces, written expressly for herself, called the Green Bushes, the French Spy, Flying Colours, the Mysterious Stranger, &c. As might be expected, the house has been crowded every night. Part of this is undoubtedly owing to the efficiency of the company, and the presence of Mr. Baker and Mr. Webster, in almost every piece. Mr. Webster is a good manager and an excellent actor. Equally at home in light and serious comedy, he ani mated the little parts allotted to him in these trifles with a delightful vivacity, and his reward was unstinted ap plause and a full house last night, when he took his be nefit in the new comedy, Mind Your Own Business.— , Liverpool Journal of Saturday. THE ARC.H.ZEOLOGICAL INSTITUTE. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, THURSDAY.—After our report left yesterday, the Hon. H. T. LIDDELL, chairman of the section of antiquities, gave an inte resting description of the ancient towers of Ravens worth Castle, in the adjoining county of Durham, the seat of his father, Lord Ravensworth. He also read a paper on a collection of bronze weapons, which he at the same time exhibited, found on Thrunton-farm, in the parish of Whittingham, near his own residence at. Eslington, in Northumberland, and mentioned in cidentally the discovery of a Roman altar, in August last, in that county, at a place called High Rochester, the ancient Bremenium. M. PULSKY likewise read a paper on ancient gems. In the evening papers were read in the theatre of the Literary and Philosophical Society, by the Rev, J. M. Traherne, on the votive monument of Kloster, Nieuberg, near Vienna, and by Mr. G. Tate, of Alnwick, on Northumbrian sepulchral urns. The members and visitors afterwards repaired to the ancient Norman castle in this town, attended by the Rev. J. C. Bruce, an eminent local antiquary, who entered into an elaborate and highly interesting ex planation of its principal features, and especially pointed out its capacity of resisting a hostile attack from without. The Earl of Carlisle presided this morning at the architectural section, before whom Mr. Edmund Sharpe, M.A., read one of the most interesting and instructive papers on ecclesiastical architecture that has yet been brought under the notice of the mem bers of the institute. The public anniversary dinner of the institute takes place this evening, at six o'clock, in the Assembly rooms, under the presidency of Lord Talbot de Ma lahide. His Grace the Duke of Northumberland has also signified his intention of being present. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) AUG. 26. MEMBERS AT THE SQUADRON HOUSE.

Yesterd*it P , Agg was made to Mr. Justice Crampton, sitting in the Queen's Bench cha m b er , to admit Mr. Delmege, J• 1 3.• and the eight soldiers of the 31st to bail. Mr. Murphy, as counsel for the accused, briefly stated the grounds on which he moved for the en largement of the prisoners. The depositions taken at the late inquest were very voluminous, but he would, for the present, r ea d th e a ffi davit of gir. Del mege. That gentleman deposed— " That on the 21st of July be, as magistrate, received orders from 4r. Armstrong, the high sheriff of the county, to act with a military escort in protecting voters who were proceeding to Six-mile-bridge polling-place, and when they bad gone about two miles he discovered that seventeen of the voters had been kidnapped and beiu carried away by a lawless mob, and that they were locked up at Thomond Gate. He eccordingly ment to the rescue, accompanied by some of the soldiery arid by en officer, and eller rescuing the voters, and while a pproaching towards tho polling-place, the escort and the men under their charge were catacli.-d by a most vielcat and excited mob, and their lives pla led in great danger. It was sworn to by the ait resstb at the inquest tha: he (Tir. Delmege) not only fired himself Luc gave orLrs to the military to fire, al though the counsel who appeared for the next of kin urged it as °Le of the grounds of impeachment against the soldiery that they had fired without getlieg any orders. in the most express and positive terms, t e b i aTh g e e never rfired a shot that day, or gave orders to that effect, and it was impossible for him to give such orders, for the !she where the occurrence took place was crowded by the people, by cars, and by the soldiers, and he was several yards from them, and could not see the soldiers until the last shot was fired. The affidavit went on to state that the present case was made to as sume not only a political, but a religious tendency, and the conduct of the mob was the most violent and furious the deponent ever witnessed, and such was the feeling of hostility subsequently evinced towards him and wit nesses, that they could not obtain even a lodging in the town. The state of terrorism and fear was such, that to this he attributed the verdict of wilful murder, as men would not consider their properties safe if they re turned a different verdict. " Mr. Murphy (Mr. Delmege's counsel) observed that the affidavit of Mr. Delmege in the most explicit terms negatived the charge of his having fired a shot or given orders to the military to fire; and then, with re spect to the soldiers, it would be sufficient to read the evidence of Lieutenant Hutton and Captain Eager to show the imminent danger to which these men were ex posed from a hostile and violent mob. "Judge Crampton thought it would be better merely to mention the purport of these depositions. " Mr. Murphy briefly referred to their evidence, as proving that the Queen's troops had been violently at tacked, and had to fire in self - defence and for the pro tection of themselves and the voters whom they were escorting. " Mr. Barry, as counsel for the next of kin, opposed the application to admit the prisoners to bail. He had only been recently instructed in the case, and bad only then heard read the affidavit of hir. Delmege; but it appeared to him that the motion was one which the court could not entertain. No rule was better settled — and it had been very recently followed—than that the court could not act upon the sworn denial of a party La g y, e l f oo th k e in i g ur t y o , t j h b e st d i e e p e o w si e t b i () I n d s who was cha rge d with offence; and the judge could not b in e d th e e ne ca b s y e, a a d n i t t h t B e g fl b d 0 - accused to bail. "Judge Crampton observed that it was, as mentioned by counsel, not the practice to with to act upo n th e swear i ng of the person wh o stood charged " Mr. Barry th en proceeded to urge that there were not merely inform a ti ons, b ut the finding of a jury, and by that verdict Mr. Delnsego was impl icated equally with the Crampton remarked th a t if the Crtowen j so ug ie e soldiers. " . ob jected be would not admit the p art i es to the This was the usual course of proceedi ng , and he th b ere ail. fore wished to hear what they had to say upon the matter. _ _ _ L / ~ i~:fw E~~%~f "Mr. Barry then submitted that, as counsel for the next of kin, he occupied the same position; as couns e l for the Crown, and had the same right to interpose; and although he admitted it was the course of public policy to allow prosecutions to be taken up by the officers of the Crown in this country, yet he apprehended that the next of kin had a right, when they thought it necessary, to select their own counsel, and to carry on proceedings in order to obtain justice; and if this was their right, the counsel occupied as decided a position as those ordinarily acting for the Crown, and his objec tions were entitled to as sufficient weight. He cited a case to show that the Court invariably refused to take bail when a coroner's jury had found a verdict of wilful murder. When the ' people' were the accused, that rule was strictly adhered to; therefore he saw no reason for a deviation from it in the present case. " Judge Crampton—l only know here the next of kin and the prosecutors. Ido not take notice of such a body as the ' people.' " Mr. Barry said he was in error in using the ex pression he had done while seeking to convey his mean ing. He then referred to the case of 'The Queen v. Smith,' where a gentleman of large fortune in the same county of Clare, and a magistr-ite, having been charged with cons.piraey to murder, r.nd that only by informa tions, the most solvent bail was refused to be taken until the Court were satisfied that further ineurcermion would be dangerous to the life of the prisoner. Upon these grounds he submitted that the application ought to be refused. " Mr. Hayes said ho appeared on the part of the Crown, and he was pleased that Mr. Barry had been heard to make his statement on behalf of the next of kin. " Mr. Barry begged to say that he had omitted to allude to another objection, which was. the finding of another inquest upon the body of another of the men killed on the same day. " Judge Crampton stated that this was not an objec tion to be entertained, for each case should be disposed of on its own merits, and one case was not to effect another. " Mr. Hayes, as counsel for the Crown, was well pleased that Mr. Barry had the opportunity afforded him of stating what occurred to him as representing the next of kin. He (Mr. Hayes) represented the Attorney-Ge neral, and he should protest against the extraordinary position which had been laid down, that any subject had a right to assume the power and the authority which the Crown exercised as prosecuting on behalf of the public. He should also protest against the principle that had been laid down, that counsel for such private prosecutor should give his consent before the Crown could exercise its jurisdiction in the conduct of proceedings of a crimi nal nature. He was much like his Learned Friend Mr. Barry, in not having had an opportunity of fully reading over all the depositions; but the Attorney-General had read them over very carefully in the exercise of his duty, and he was authorized to read the view which the At torney-General took of the case. Mr. Hayes then began to read the opinion, which began by stating ' That the Attorney-General had carefully an d minutely read over all the d e p os i t i ons, and that he was unable to discover any legal evidence to warrant the finding of a verdict of wilful murder in reference to the soldiers.' " Mr. Barry here interposed, and said he knew nothing of the Attorney-General there and it was irr e g ular to read any opini on of his. ' " Mr. Hayes said that although Mr. Barry Professed officer not to know the Attorney-General, be that the law recognised, and also the sessed. foe counsel not "Jude rt ezampton thought it better was the view to read the opinion, h -ut to state what :. :- the Crown on the en tertained by those repreeentwg - aurrilt; he pos. pre sent motion. that the Attorney-General " Mr. Hayes then sa id „ t h e depositions, did not having carefully read over o " 'warren t a verdict of wilful see any legal evidence. or against Mr. Delmege, and admit the parties to bail. tmurderhat it t w against ro th pe e I, he left that to be exclusively As to the amount 0 ,...

He (Judge Crampton) would endea vour d o so without any delay, and if be found it was vour to a proper case would admit the parties to bail. He did not feel at liberty to decide, without doing 'what had been intimated; and his Lordship concluded by stating that he would attend in chamber the next morning, at eleven o'clock, and announce what his decision would " Mr. Barry said he would desire to argue upon the nature of the depositions. " Mr. Murphy was prepared to show that they never could warrant the verdict which the jury had thought fit to return. " Judge Crampton did not think it necessary to have any argument on this point."
