Now that the weather has again returned to summer heat, it is incumbent upon all who have the power or opportunity to do all that they can to remove those hindrances to health which, in nine cases out of ten, predispose the frame to the attacks of epidemic diseases, and make contagious diseases spread like wild-fire. It is often found that in pe riods of danger and difficulty great exertions are made ; but it is rare indeed that we see much acti vity displayed in small matters—small in appear ance that is to say, but most important as regards intimate consequences and future effects. Atten tion has been called to the sanitary condition of our towns, and more especially of the metropolis ; but it is easier to point out deficiencies than to discover suitable remedies for the evil. At any rate, it is something gained to know where the dangers exist, for such is the ignorance or indifference of many that they go on from day to day, hearing little and heeding less, until it is too late to do anything. The carelessness which is observable in many minor things is excessive, and those who are guilty of such inertness cannot do better than peruse the letters which Mr. FULLER has addressed to the Times on this important subject. He truly states that the health of the inhabitants in large towns is often seriously affected by those circumstances over which they really have little or no control. Thus .it does not do to depend upon individual action alone. Two great sources of disease are to be found in London, and, as the choleraappears to be steadily advancing, these evils that in ordinary times may not be of so much moment will become of startling magnitude. These evils are especially to be noticed in periods of approaching epidemic ; and, as they cannot indeed be overrated, it is well to consider their effects carefully, and judge if nothing can be done to mitigate the dangers which they threaten. The two most noxious plagues at present affecting the sanitary condition of London are simple enough things themselves, and indeed by the generality almost totally disregarded as beneath notice. In the first place untrapped gullyholes, and ventholes along the public sewers, must be marked as a pain ful source of pestilence. In his letter Mr. FULLER wisely calls attention to this evil, and states that " there are houses in close proximity to these public pestholes, where fever is seldom absent, where diphtheria is a frequent visitant, and where, in the time of severe epidemics, death is seldom without a victim." Such facts speak volumes as to the neces sity which exists for the prevention of these evils, and it seems indeed most singularthat the authorities should ever have resorted to such an expedient for the arrangement of the sewers. The chief danger that exists in these matters is in the exhalations which are given by the gases during the decompo sition stages, and, as is critically said, here " these are carefully retained by our authorities, and dis tributed throughout the length and breadth of the town, with the view, it is to be presumed, of pro viding work for the doctors, and keeping down the redundancy of the population." It very often occurs that this inconsistency is observable in san Commence at 7. GRATIS AND POST FREE. E. MOSES and SONS' New ramp Wet, THE PHILOSOPHY OF DRESS.

Another mode of inviting the attacks of the cholera is the state in which the dust bins of the metropolis are kept, and Mr. FULLER appropriately animadverts upon it in this dissertation on sanitary affairs. The condition of these receptacles for refuse is often such as to prove very injurious to health, and, of course, being situated so near to dwelling-houses, they are ren- HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE.

The contents are kept until they begin to " decompose," and then they, of course, begin their deadly work.

"V 44444 can testify to the stench occasioned by the emana tions from these private hotbeds of disease, and there are few medical men who have not repeatedly met wit h examples of their powerful operation in facilitating the outbreak and spread of epide mics." It is stated here, and doubtless with great truth, that no measures can be really effectual in putting a stop to these nuisances but those which will facilitate the daily removal of all refuse from houses and areas, the trapping of gullyholes in the streets, and the closure of the ventholes from the sewers along our roads. It is indeed often urged as an argument against such proposals that it would be a matter of difficulty to draw off and dispose of gaseous emanations, but the necessity of doing so is not lessened by the obstacles that may interpose themselves, as is wisely mentioned here. It may in truth be affirmed that the writer of this letter has made no exaggerated statement when he concludes his remarks with these impres sive words :—" 'We shall not be even decently pre pared for the invasion of cholera, or any other epi. demic, until we have organised an effectual system for the removal of all refuse from our houses and areas, and have disposed of the deadly emana- tions from our sewers in some other way than that of distributing them through the atmosphere which surrounds our dwellings." Now that, unfortunately, it is impossible to have the advice and assistance of Parliament, it is impe- ratively incumbent upon the authorities to exec themselves, and make every possible endeavour to meet the emergency that has arisen. It is too frequently the case that an aversion to official prejudices and interference with existing systems, tends to disincline the Government for any active operations and sudden changes. Thus, if it be found by the observations of qualified persons, and the experience of those who take pains to inform themselves that great and serious evils exist, surely t is high time to put aside the conventionalities of precedent and the empty forms of usages and old customs. The common sense of the community may do much, but it will not do to entrust the safety of the metropolis, as regards public health, to an inde- finite theory ; and while the many are wise and careful the ignorant few may suffice to undo all the effects of precautionary measures, and thus the dreaded advent of the cholera may more than realise gloomy forebodings and serious apprehensions. The utmost vigilance should be exercised by all who arc in authority, high or low, to put a stop to the many nuisances now existing which militate against sanitary matters. Anotherator, and er in poorer important thing i s a prope r supply of w localities especi a ll y t hi s is often v very deficient. Nothing can possibly excuse any neglect in a matter of such vital consequence, a n d now that the subject has been mentioned in many quarters the fullest attention should be paid to it at the earliest opportunity. It is satisfactory to find that the news from the Cape of Good Hope is not so alarming as rumour threatened. The Basutos, indeed, have mustered in strong force and committed some depredations. It is said that in a collision respecting some cattle they killed five Boers, but there appears to be no actual certainty that any liig hay 'yew sacrificed, LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPT. 5, 1865. The Federal authorities are determined to per severe in their persecution of Captain Wiwrz, but they find it is more prudent to avoid making a direct attack on their more distinguished opponent. The military commission before which the trial of Captain Winn took place has been dissolved, and a new one convened, composed of the same mem. bers. The object of this movement seems to have been the omission of the names of LEE, SEDDON, and NORTHROP from the specification of charges. With the usual arbitrary injustice which has charac terised their proceedings the judges refused to grant the application of the prisoner's counsel, who, upon the opening of fresh proceedings, asked for time to prepare the defence. For some reason not stated this gentleman abandoned the case, when the Judge Advocate was appointed to defend the prisoner, a movement not much in his favour, we should imagine, since official prejudice and party feeling will operate against him in the mind of his own advocate. The news of the 25th, however, tells us that a new counsel had appeared for the prisoner, whose trial was still the subject of the day. Mississippi is still making active progress towards reconstruction and reunion. The Mississippi Con vention have annulled the Secession Ordinance and repealed all the laws passed by the Secession Con vention, excepting the revenue ordinance, and some others not repugnant to the Federal Constitution. The` - Mississippi Convention have further testified their independence and their humanity by boldly memorialising the PRESIDENT on behalf of Mr. Davis. They have a good right to speak for the southern leader, since they have just given active proof of their readiness to re-enter the Union, and of their goodwill and loyalty to the existing authorities. We a re not informed what answer President JOHNSON returned to this parti cular appea l, but he telegraphed to the Governor of the State congratulating him on the progress and promising th a t the habeas by Mississippi, Corpus Act should be restored and the troops With.. drawn so soon as the State had fully returned t o her allegiance. Another hint in favour of pacific and moderate measures has been received by the PRESIDENT from a different quarter. The democratic convention of Pennsylva. nia have given him their qualified support, demand ing that measures should be passed to give the South congressional representation and saving them from negro suffrage, also stopping the punishment and murder of individuals by court-martial. Fur ther reductions of the military establishments are progressifig, the PRESIDENT having ordered 47 major and brigadier-generals to be mustered out, and the number of prisoners who are being diminished by those who are parolled without any special charges against them are to be furnished with passports on the condition that they do not return to the States without the PRESIDENT'S leave. This will be a hard condition to some: of them, and as it is directed against those who are charged with no offence, save that of having carried arms with their countrymen, it must be considered un warrantably harsh, The most conspicuous item of rHE SUN, LONLO.N, TUESDA Y ELNING, SEPTEMBER 5, 1865. and, as vigorous measures were promptly adopted, the alarm felt in the colony was rapidly subsiding when the last mail left. The raid of the Basutos into the Castern colony appears to have been prompted by the desire to obtain possession of some cattle belonging to some Free State Boers who had driven them across the Drakensberg for safety, and that the encounter of which so much was made to* place between the raiders and the owners Of these cattle, who naturally resisted. To which colony these Boers belonged does not appear, but the news was immediately despatched to Govern ment House, and great alarm was excited in the city. Happily, as we have said, the alarm proved only temporary, although the authorities thought it wiser to organise a system of volunteer defence and to make every preparation in case of a renewed attack. Vigilance and promptitude are the great protection in all dealings with natives, who are cunning enough to watch for their opportunity. We hope the peace of the colony will be no further disturbed. Adeiphi Theatre. The new season commenced last evening at this favourite theatre, and, although it has been closed but a few nights, the whole of the interior has been thoroughly re-embellished in a very tasteful style. The chief attraction of the opening night was the first appearance of Mr. Joseph Jefferson, an actor from America and Australia, but, truth to say, we have been so frequently disappointed in American actors that we looked up to the event with a feel ing somewhat akin to indifference. In this instance, however, we rejoice to say the importation is every way worthy the high testimonials that heralded its approach, as Mr. Jefferson is an artiste of undoubted excellence. With respect to the piece " Rip Van Winkle," the title at least is familiar enough to old playgoers, because years ago it was performed in London at the Queen's, the Haymarket, and the Adelphi Theatres ; at the latter, the unrivalled manager actor, Frederick Yates, sustained the part of dreamy Dutchman, and the great O'Smith that of the phantom skipper Hendrick Hudson. Mr. Jefferson's piece, however, differs very materially from either of those referred ' to. It is the same only in name as that. With the exception of the main incident, " the sleep of 20 years," the whole has been rewritten and remodelled in order to afford Mr. Jefferson the greatest scope for acting. All the subordinate parts have been reduced almost to nothing, so that the attention of the audience, from first to last, is kept solely cen tred in the performance of the principal actor. In the first act we have the good-tempered but half-sottish Dutchman hit off with extraordinary skill; and perhaps one . of the first bits of acting in this portion of this drama is that which takes place with Rip Van Winkle and the two children—his daughter, a child of six years old, and her youthful lover, Henrich Vedder. There was nature in every , word of it, and the culminating point was the in cident where the boy reads to Rip the document the roguish Derrick wishes him. It was a triumph of art, and the audience recognised it accordingly. Mr. Jefferson was equally powerful in his acting in the scene where his shrewish wife turns him out of doors during a heavy storm to wander among the mountains ; but perhaps the most elaborate piece of acting, and one that went directly to the heart, was the waking of old Rip Van Winkle, after his sleep of twenty years, to find all his friends dead and his child grown to a woman. Mr. Jefferson here held his audience completely at his ' will—at one time a fit of laughter would be evoked, whilst at the next a flood of tears would fall, to show how true to nature was his agony at the fear that even his own daughter would not remember her old and doating father. When, however, the recognition did take place the audience, we feel certain, participated in in the joys of the old man, and a burst of the heartiest applause testified their appreciation of the great abilities of Mr. Jefferson. We have heard that Mr. Jefferson has a very wide range of charac ters. All we can say is, we shall be right glad to find it so, because it Will add much to the-delight of all the metropoliian playgoers to have amongst them an artiste who is capable of sustaining the leading parts in the old legitimate comedies, as well as the Yankee heroes of modern sensational dramas. Mrs. Billington deserves high praise for her embodiment of the scolding wife of Rip Van Winkle, and Master and Miss Conran also claim the same approval for their performance of the juvenile lovers. The other parts, as we have said, were mere trifles, but Miss H. Simms, Mr. Billington, Paul Bedford, Mr. Phillips, and Mr. Felix Rodgers made the most of them. The drama has been very beautifully mounted, and doubtless it will for some time become the rage of the metropolis. Th 9 The following t an interest in th© ] of Oxford : LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

" Prince Ladislas Czartoryski, the chief of the aristocracy of the Polish emigration," says the Gazette de France, " has completely renounced occupying himself with politics, and proposes to establish himself on the Gallician estates at Lieniawa. The Prince, who has already obtained the authori sation of the Austrian Government for that object, has been led to adopt this resolution by family mis fortunes. It is known that the Prince has lost his mother and his wife. Perhaps the hopelessness of the Polish cause may have something to do with this resolution." M. Feuillet de Conches, the editor of the collec tion of Marie Antoinette's letters, has defended himself with much warmth against Herr von Sybol'es well-known doubts as to the authenticity of the documents in question. The dispute has now as sumed almost a national character, the press in France and Germany treating the subject as if the honour of those countries were at stake. The journals announce the death of M. Alexis Barricre, dramatic author, uncle of M. Theodore Barriere, at the age of 73 years. The funeral obsequies of one of the last of the Mamelukes of Napoleon- I. were celebrated two days back at the Church of St. Pierre at Gros- Caillou. His name was Barrequa Boulon, and his age 89. The Moniteur publishes a report addressed to the Emperor relative to a deliberation of the Council General of the Seine-et-Marne, of the 25th ultimo, which expresses the wish that the law should give to the Councils-General the right of deciding on all disputed departmental elections, and that the atten tion of the Government should be called to the question whether it be not advisable to restore to the Councils-General the right of naming their bureaux. As this deliberation relates to matters which do not fall within the attributions of a Council-General, the Minister proposes that it be declared null and void by a decree, in conformity with Art. 14 of the law of 22d June, 1833. The report is followed by an Imperial decree to the effect proposed by the Minister. The validity of a notice given by telegraph has just been established in a case of appeal at the Im perial Court of Paris. " M. Carvalho, director of the Theatre Lyrique, engaged in April, 1864, for three years, a singer, Mlle. Larousseliere, known on the stage as Mile. Renaudy, at a salary of 300 fr. per month for the first year, 400 fr. for the second, and 500 fr. the third, at the same time reserving to him self the right of breaking the engagement at the end of each year, terminating on the 31st May, by giving a month's notice. On Saturday, April 29 last, M. Carvalho, as he declares, informed Mlle. Renaudy verbally of his intention to put an end to the engagement, and the lady promised to return with her father in the evening to sign an accepts_ tion of the notice. They did not, however, appear, and M. Carvalho sent to the residence of M. Larous seliere, but was informed that he and the family were absent. On the following day, Sunday, the 30th, the last day for giving notice, he sent a tele grapic despatch to the father, announcing his inten tion to end the engagement, but the father, no doubt suspecting the object of the communication, refused to receive it. A second despatch was sent and deli- vered to the concierge of M. Larousseliere's house in presence of witnesses. Mlle. Renaudy, on the other hand, affirms that M. Carvalho on the Saturday stated that he wished to see her father in the evening, without mentioning for what object, and that her father having started the same day for St. Cloud with her family could not wait on M. Carvalho, and did not receive the despatches in sufficient time. The case was first brought before the Tribunal of Commerce, which decided that a proper notice had not been given by M. Carvalho, but in the present appeal the Imperial Court reversed the previous judgment and declared the engagement to be at an end from the 31st May. A man in good circumstances, named G-, residing in the Rue de Sevres, was arrested two days back at the imperial Library, for attempting to steal a book from the reading room. He had been observedto secrete the volume under his coat, and was stopped while leaving the building with the stolen property in his possession. A valet de chambre, named Ruy-Gaurez, a native of Savoy, has just been tried by the Court of Assize of the Seine for robbing his master, the Duke de Conegliano, which charge was ag gravated by an incidental accusation of forgery in disposing of the stolen property. Ruy-Gau rez had been in the Duke's service about two years, when, in September last, he suddenly left his situation without assigning any reason for so doing. Two months later the duke discovered that ten shares of the Lyons Railway Company, then worth about 9,000 fr., were missing from his secre tary, and on making an inquiry he learned that a dividend coupon had been cashed by his former servant at a money changer's named Lalandre, and that three of the shares has also been sold at another money changer's by a man who had given his name as Crosey, but who, in signing a receipt, probably from the force of habit, had commenced by writing the word Rey, which formed the first portion of the real name of the accused. The servant, being arrested, confessed that he was guilty of the robbery, and gave such information as led to the recovery of a portion of the property. He, however, denied that he had committed a forgery in using the signature of Crosey, as that was the maiden name of his mother. The jury having acquitted the prisoner on that charge, and admitted extenuating circumstances on the indictment for robbery, the court condemned him to two years' imprisonment. A young man named Charlochet, aged 21, was tried on Saturday at the Court of Assizes of the Seine for wounding his mother. The antecedents of the accused were of the worst character. He had already been condemned six times, twice for embezzlement ; and he inspired so great a terror to his father and mother that on the 3d July last, having menaced to stab the latter, both parents abandoned the house and took refuge with a friend. A week later they returned, and a day or two after the son demanded some money of his mother with threats, and on meet ing with a refusal threw an empty bottle with great violence at her head. The missile struck a table and was broken to pieces, and one of the fragments inflicted a wound, happily of no great gravity, on the woman's skull. For this brutal conduct the prisoner was now tried, but the jury simply returned a verdict of wounding by imprudence. The court, however, taking into consideration his previous con demnations, sentenced him to four months' impri- sonment and five years' surveillance of the police. The express train which left Paris on Saturday evening went off the rails at four in the morning, just before arriving at the Vars station, in conse- quence of the rupture of an axle. The locomotive went on correctly, it being only three waggons which left the line. There was nothing very serious to deplore ; a young Spaniard sustained contusions in the leg, and a lady was slightly wounded by some fragments of glass. The passengers arrived at Bordeaux three hours behind time. A lad about 15 years of age entered a jeweller's shop ou the boulevards, two mornings since, and offered for sale an ingot of silver which he pretended to have just found in the street. The tradesman told the boy that the silver was worth 44f., but that he had no right to sell it, and must deposit it with the commissary of police. The jeweller accordingly took him to that functionary's office, where, when closely questioned, the boy confessed that he had abstracted the ingot from a box in a cel lar belonging to his father, abaker named B-, re siding at Point-du-Jour. The commissaire thinking it very strange that a baker should keep silver ingots in his cellar, went to the house indicated and found several boxes containing silver bullion. After many prevarications, the baker at last stated that the metal belonged to a man named R-, employed as foreman in the establishment of an operative chemist and assayist. The investigation which followed proved that R- had been for three years robbing his master, and had employed the proceeds in building premisEs where he intended to commence business on his own account. The baker and the foreman have both been committed for trial. BOURSE, Sept 4.—Two o'clock.—The market is much firmer than during the latter part of Satur day's Bourse.

The Diamond Company's steamship Albany arrived off Dartmouth to-day, where she was obliged to put up. She brings Cape news to July 28. The Basuto war was proceeding with great vigour, and the whole course of affairs up to then was strongly in favour of the Free State. Vechtkop, the stronghold of Bushuli, a Basuto chief, had been captured : 60 Basutos were killed, and 4,500 sheep, 425 cattle, and 150 horses captured. Molitsani's town, another Basuto stronghold, had also been taken, and about 1,000 huts burnt. The country of Molitsani had been seized and proclaimed Free State territory. Great atrocities were alleged to have been committed, and murder and robberies perpetrated, by the Basutos on British subjects on the British soil, namely, the Natal side of the Dra kenberg. This was said to have arisen through the confu sion attendant on a great and successful raid made by the Basutos among the Africander Boers along the Natal frontier. Among the homesteads burnt by the Basutos in the Wittenbergen, Sand River district, and Winburg, is that of Sir Walter Currie. The Natal Government were acting promptly for the defence of the frontier, and had resolved to grant an annual subsidy of £7,000 to extend telegraphic communication via the Free State to Cape Colony. The Albany brings 46 passengers and a full cargo of wool ; 30 passengers landed at Dartmouth. Her Majesty's ship Euryalus left Simon's Bay, July 16, for England. PERIODICALS. 0 TILE MONTll.—Aubrey de Vere for once utters his thoughts in prose, and this time they are cg Thoughts on St. Gertrude." Lady Georgiana Fullerton brings at length to a close her charming old-world story about " Constance Sherwood." We purposely content ourselves with the announcement of the fact that this tale is finished which has been so long adorning simultaneously the pages of The Month and of Le Correspondant—as we purpose, very shortly, noticing the work in its entirety, now that it has been separately published in the ap proved three-volumed form by Mr. Bentley, the Queen's publisher. A graceful criticism, entitled " Poetry of Church Festivals, Seasons, and Ordi nances," contains within it the following beautiful tribute to a good man, the Rev. JOIIN KEBLE, and to an exquisite book, his world-famous volume called The Christian Year:— " The Christian Year has rich merits as a volume of poetry; but its wonderful popularity, and the effect that it has produced on the religious feeling of England, is not due to its poetical merit. Had Mr. Keble been less of a poet he might not have attained so great a success; but he has sho rvn as great, or even greater, power in some of the pieces in his Lyra Innocentium—a book which never has had, and never will have, in the present state of feeling in this country, any influence that can be compared to that of the Christian Year. In his earlier volume he gave religious minds in England just what they wanted : he opened to them a new source of soothing and gentle feeling at a time that they were weary with excitement, and athirst for something more satisfying and refreshing than the evan gelical school could give them. He caught up the quiet and practical tone of the Prayer-book, nine-tenths of which is either simple Scripture or translation from the Catholic Breviary, and brought it home in a set of sweet and graceful poems, which people wore to read Sunday after Sunday, and festival after festival. No wonder the book soon made its way; it came like the sound of some simple ancient chant ringing through the aisles of a cathedral to ears that had before been accustomed to the nasal vulgarisms of a conventicle. Gradually it be , came a household book ; good people made a sort of Anglican Imitation of Christ. Its popularity still continues, and shows no sign of decrease, though it must now be not far short of forty years since the first edition was issued. All the best minds of Anglicanism, of every shade of opinion, have felt its influence—Dean Stanley quotes it as well as Dr. Pusey. It was as well known at Oxford as Butler's Analogy ; and though it never reached the lower classes of society, who are seldom Anglican by choice, it has toned the feelings, and to some extent formed the cha racter, of thousands in every class but the lowest. A pre late who was fond of would-be witticisms gave it the rather ill-natured name of the Sunday puzzle ;' but the term itself indicates the habit into which people fell of making it their ' spiritual reading' once a week. The aim of the author was entirely attained." Several other articles of merit lend their varied interest to this Month of September. THE FORTNIGHTLY—for the first half of Septem ber, being number Eight of the new periodical—is chiefly. remarkable for its opening criticism, or rather inquiry, as to whether the Paston Letters are Authentic ? The accomplished writer, Mr. Herman Merivale, of the Colonial-office, decidedly thinks not! He contents himself, however, simply, with questioning their authenticity, and giving his reasons (many of them, as it appears to us, only too cogent) for so thinking. The majority of the rest of the current number of the Fortnightly—barring a learned disquisition on " Mr. Grote's Plato," by the Editor himself—by right of his Biographical History of Philosophy, a competent reviewer of the Greek Historian's new work (a work of which Mr. Lewes speaks, with a dry humour, as at once exhaustive and exhausting)--barring that one scholarly criticism and Mr. Merivale's already men tioned inquiry as to the authenticity of the Paston Correspondence —the present number of the Fort nightly is not nearly, to our mind, as satisfactory as any one of its seven predecessors. True, there is a charming legend about King Solomon, charmingly related in verse, by Robert Lytton—whence derived this legend, unless from the young poet's own imagination, we cannot conjecture ! Yet, side by side with a poem like that of "The Apple of Life," by Owen Meredith—what upon earth have we here in The Fortnightly by way of most incongruous companionship ? Among other things —an audacious panegyric upon Bishop Colenso ! A. couple of maundering chapters in continuation of Mr. Anthony Trollope's tepid love story, entitled " The Belton Estate !" A loose jumble of snippings from old plays and diaries already familiar to most of us—being alarmingly entitled Part 1., by Robert Bell, of " Social Amusements under the Restoration !" And, to crown all, a singularly priggish and pragmatical paper about " Liberals and Conservatives," by Vis count Amberley. Among the curiosities of the number, in the shape of one of the minor notices of new books, there is one through the medium of which the writer of it (Mr. Anthony Trollope) might almost be said to have indulged the writer under review (Mr. James Hannay) with a nauseat shower bath of syrup and vinegar odiously com bined. BLACKWOOD.—There is an interesting sketch here given, entitled "Memoirs of the Confederate War for Independence." This is the first part only, but we are already introduced to striking scenes. It is written by Heros von Bordse, chief of staff to Gen. Stuart. The reader willfind the details wellworthy of perusal, although they are melancholy to dwell upon, when we recall the sad sequel to the heroic endeavours of the Southerners. Miss Marjoribanks is continued, and this in stalment is very eventful, the character of the heroine is becoming rapidly developed, and we find that she is free from those low motives, and that spirit of envious detrac tion which too often greatly disfigure the careers of the stars of society. In the next number we shall perhaps meet with a grand scene or two, and at any rate the dd nouement must be a striking one, as so many complicated events have occurred, and so many mysterious persons have flitted over the scene. "Piccadilly ; an Episode of Contemporaneous Autobiography," is concluded. This extravaganza of social life is a very brilliant affair, and re lated with vigour and vivacity; it forms a good criticism on the machinations and manoeuvres of some notable perso nages who dabble in matters which they cannot under stand. Lady Broadbrim will servo as a prototype to many now sunning themselves in the brief glare of the world's prosperity, but anon to be found drifting amid the breakers, and given over to despair. "Switzerland in Summer and Autumn" is a pleasing sketch of the life led in that locality. There is generally something entertaining to be met with in any description of Swiss scenery, and the present is no exception to the rule. " Sir Brook Fosbrook" is continued, at some length, and the scene between young "Fan" and his irascible grandfather is very well drawn. Poor Len drick's letter is a touching instance of the truth of the saying, that they wander - wide who seek for life's joys away from home. "Jacks in Office" are smartly portrayed in the bumptious manners of the "plump and self-satisfied gentleman," who condescended to wait upon his Excel lency in the capacity of private secretary. "Our Political Prospects" is an article on the events of the day, which takes a hopeful view of the future, on the whole, although it does not exaggerate the state of the case regarding party matters of interest and importance. It is said that the Conservatives defeat is not an overthrow. "They will rally again, and again make a short fight for the new posi tion which their leaders shall select." It is said of the Liberals that they are disunited, and differ so greatly from each other that they cannot fail sooner or later to collapse, and will not succeed in achieving a marked and decided success. There is an impressive sketch of one whose writings have often graced these pages, and no one will be surprised to meet a tribute to the memory of William Aytoun in this magazine. It is done in the best possible manner, and in a genial spirit of appreciation and regard. It is satisfactory to hear from those who knew him best that Mr. Aytoun's career was a successful and happy one. The inevitable parting that must take place when the shadow feared of man is seen is robbed of its worst sting and greatest victory, when such grateful reminiscences of past days come once to the survivors as here are chroni cled, for death itself cannot dim the memory of a life that has not been lived in vain. COLBUEN'S UNITED SERVICE.--" Modern Field Engineering" is a practical essay on the modern improved ideas of how fields are to be fought and won, detailing several very obvious combinations in the art of war. " The Crimean War—Alma and Inkerman," gives a graphic account of the operation in those eventful struggles. The activity and rapid firing of the French skirmishers with their Minie rifles decided the fate of the battle almost before it was begun, for in an hour and a half they destroyed the gun ners and horses of the Russian artillery, for, as a Russian officer said, "they came on us at the Alma like serpents, and killed our men without our being able to see them.' One of the greatest merits of the French was to ignore the old system of regulations just as Napoleon upset the Aus trian armies by a sudden assault, overpowering and chang ing all their rules of etiquette, and winning his victories by a new and common-sense mode of prompt simplicity in action. " The Breakwater and Fortifications of Hartland" is continued, and not yet finished. That grand idea of Mr. Rendolf, like his Holyhead Harbour, is just one half the size it ought to have been. Nature offered room and verge enough for a magnificent work, but ilia petty demon of niggard economy slipt in and marred a grand national idea by circumscribing it to the dimensions of a private under taking. It partakes too much of the character of a paltry job. "Oswald Hastings" is at last married, and no doubt happy. "Recollections of Sandhurst," and "The Organisa tion of Cavalry" are both interesting to the young soldier. and "Christmas Eve in the Tropics" is full of fun and quaint drollery. Here is a parody on " Scots wha hae." " Scots wha has on whisky fed, Scots in public-houses bred, Now's the time to raise your head As high as it can be. " Now's the nicht and now's the hour, See approach your spouse's power, See her face is dark and dour, To crush your liberty. " Wha when listening to the law That comes frae woman's foolish jaw, Should care for her a single straw, Shall nao drink wi' me. '1 By the headache's morning pains, By the curtain lecture's strains, I'll break my wife's confounded chains, But I will be free. " I'll let the domineerer know That I'll not be henpecket so, hae a gill afore I go, And drink to liberty." I CORNHILL.—" Wives and Daughters" is con- I tinued at great length, and Molly Gibson shows herself to great advantage. The gradual develop ment of the/ character of this young girl is very nicely done, and we discover the immense supe riority of the one step-sister over the other as we become more familiar to their ways. The mystery of Guthio's acquaintance with Mr. Preston is now explained to Molly, and in her endeavours to extricate her sister from the toils of that dangerous man she has involved herself in a very awkward affair. Matters are ap proaching a crisis, and, in the midst of all, Mrs. Gibson goes on in a manner that is enough to drive one distracted. Osborne Varnley's health is getting very precarious, and here another climax is at hand. The domestic details of this story ere told so naturally that it is quite fascinating to peruse, and no one who takes it up is likely to lay it down until the close. " Armadale" is also very eventful in this number, and the wily Miss Gwilt is nearly found out. Allan gets himself into great difficul ties, however, by his rashness, and gains a bad name at Thorpe Ambrose. Some dark mystery is evidently in volved with Miss Gwilt, which time only will clear up. He shows a good courage, at all events, to face the diffi culty, and prepares to face his detractors. " Harvest " is an appropriate sketch, which contains much interesting matter, and furnishes details that may prove useful in struction to many respecting the usages of country life at this juncture. " The Atlantic Telegraph" is the theme of discourse, and the writer takes a hopeful view of the eventual success of the exploit. Amid the many Job's comforters to be met with it is a satisfaction to find some are more sanguine ; and, indeed, why should not the prophecy be fulfilled which says that no one who has witnessed the recent operations of the Great Eastern "can doubt of the very speedy establish ment of telegraphic communication between Europe and America across the Atlantic, and of its rapid development by the facilities which the monster ship so singularly possesses for work her designer and blinder never intended or contemplated. "The Social History of the Navy" is a well-written article on a subject that just now engages a great deal of attention, and which, as is here stated, is more appreciated by the public than some are aware of. " Benvenuto Cellini" is a sketch that is sure to attract many readers, for, as the writer remarks, "no name in the history of Italian art is more renowned." There is always something very interesting in the details of such characters, and we may find much to awaken thought and inspire ambition in the chronicles of such a career. " My Persecutors" is a very amusing sketch of the doings of some teetotallers who desired to make a man virtuous against his will, and made his life a martyrdom because he would not take the pledge. They overreached them selves at last in many instances, and were guilty of the excesses they pretended to condemn. Altogether this number of the Cornhill is a very entertaining one, and pre sents us with a good deal of variety. THE SHILLING MAGAZINE.—" Phemie Keller" proceeds on her brilliant but uneventful career, being transformed by five years of wealth and idle ness into a selfish and callous fine lady. - Evidently the author means to rouse her out of her listless prosperity by some sudden darkening of her too cloudless sky. It is a well written story, and shows that the writer has studied life and character rather than the mere art of novel-writing. Bonamy Price contributes au essay on the worth of a classical education, which he up holds very strongly. In these days, when the claims of scientific study and living languages are not likely to be overlooked, it is well that some amongut us should be found to do battle on behalf of those older and sterner branches of learning which'have developed many an accomplished scholar, and trained many a vigorous and enlightened mind. Mr. Price does not indeed despise the suggestions of school reformerS, and perfectly agrees with their desire to combine direct and useful knowledge with the study of Greek and Latin, but he argues strongly and convincingly on the beneficial effect of the sound mental training secured by the old classical pursuits. Another paper on education though under very different circumstances, is the second part of Sir John Bowring's interesting article on "Educa tion in China," a subject with which ho is well qualified to deal. The origin of the Foundling Hospital, in Lamb's 'Conduit-street, by good old Captain Coram, is the subject of a very attractive paper. Many curious instances of the early experiences of the charity are cited. " The Knight of the Knife" is a thrilling chapter of Irish biography a generation or two back. "The Auction-rooms of Christie and Manson," and the sales there in 1835, will interest the antiquary ; and the novel-reader is plentifully supplied, for, besides this opening story, there is a further instalment of " The Wild. Flower of Ravensworth," and a tale called "Maurice Clifford." THE VICTORIA.—The translation of Professor Laboulaye's learned and elaborate work on the Civil and Political Status of the Female Sex, from the time of the Romans downwards, is continued, and occupies a considerable share of the contents. " Trouble at Thornhill" is continued, and its name is cer tainly appropriate, for the story is full of dark plots and intrigues, and complicated mysteries hidden under the guise of English domestic life. ‘ Written for my Daughter" is another story, certainly not a very attractive one. "A Day's Walk in North Devon" is a record of a country ramble, with which some passages out of " The Short and Simple Annals of the Poor" are mingled. "A Good Work" is the title of a very interesting account of a visit to the Hospital of Sick Children, in Great Ormond-street, charity which appeals most forcibly to our tenderness and humanity. Surely all who can in any way aid to lighten the heavy burden of the poor little sufferers, who, through no fault of their own, languish in decline, or undergo painful operations, will gladly help in this "good work." The Social Science department is, as usual, specially de voted to the interests of "strong-minded" ladies. MACMILLAN.—The most attractive feature to the readers of Macmitld n 'will probably be the narrative of the Atlantic Telegraph Expedition, with facsimiles of charts lithographed on board, which give a very clear idea of the course of the vessel, the soundings, the number of miles paid out, &c. The story in its main features we all, of course, know, but in such a momentous history it is well to have the account of more than one spectator of the eventful struggle. " Palgrave's Travels in Arabia" form the subject of a lengthened paper, and " Gal way, the City of the Tribes" is discussed in a pleasant and well-written narrative of a visit to the beautiful sister kingdom. 'The interesting story of " The Dove in the Eagle's Nest," by the author of the "Heir of Redclyffe" proceeds with spirit and animation. Very important events are chronicled in these chapters, and hints are given of more important ones to come. The young Brown and his brother are now knighted, and sworn to follow the King of the Romans against the Turks, while the reader has still cause to hope that the missing Cherbard may yet come to life, and fulfil the gipsy's prediction. " Cradock Howell" is also continued, and, though diffuse and occa sionally extravagant in style, it is vigorous and original in its character. COLBURN'S NEW MONTHLY.—The prospects and possibilities of the Canal of Suez are discussed at _ _ _ ------- -- - full length in the opening paper. It is followed by the continuation of Mrs.Bushby's story of " Wood bury," which certainly does not improve our ac quaintance. Francis Jacox finds a good subject in square men in round holes, and vice versa; while " The Unknown Land" is a paper treating of the capabilities of North-West America—capabilities becoming daily more valued by the thoughtful and far-sighted colonists. " Idalia," by the author of " Granville de Vigne," proceeds in its half-dreamy, half-worldly fashion, and the heroine preserves her secret and her power. There are several other papers of varying events and interest. BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY.—A story of the seaside is quite appropriate to the season, and so c; The Rival Yachtsmen" will be suitable reading for the beach or the deck. " A Fatal Adventure on the Matterhorn" records the perils and disasters of twenty years since, and prove the dangers of that mountain to be of no recent date. " About Coming to Believe One's Own Lie," is the title of an essay, which gives the writer good scope for his discourse. The editor's story of " The Rouse of Seven Chimneys" is brought to a conclusion in this number, and the legend, which gives its name to the romance, is duly recounted by Philip before Prince Charles leaves Spain. THE ECLECTIC.—" Friends, and their Ways," is the opening paper, which shows us some of the higher and better qualities which distinguish the sect. " The Problem of Jamaica" is carefully considered. The causes of the decadence of the island and its probable cures are treated of with much care. Lady Duff Gordon's delightful letters from Egypt receive a cor dial notice, and other miscellaneous subjects are treated of. NEWTON'S LONDON JOURNAL—The "Partner ship Laws" and the " Atlantic Cable" are the topics of the mouth. All the customary information respecting patents, notices, and provisional protections is given. SCIENCE GOSSIP. No. IX.—This is an admirable little serial, which conveys popular scientific instruc tion in such simple language, and with such excel lent illustrations, that he must be dull indeed who should fail to comprehend it. While deep study of nature's laws and secrets is reserved to the few, there is no reason why every one of ordinary intelligence and education should not acquaint himself with the rudiments ; and the "common air, the sea, the skies" contain enough wonders to strike the most superficial observer, and teach him to know something about them. LE FOLLET.—The fair despot who rule half the world by the name of Fashion shows us her last new devices, and instructs us in her new laws in these very brilliant pages. The vagaries of dress are somewhat startling, but this kindly exponent contrives always to exhibit them in the most graceful guise. THE BRITISH ARMY AND NAVY REVIEW. New Series.—The lovers of field sport will find the first article, " Under Two Flags," one after his own heart. It is by " Onida," and is penned in a glow ing and most exciting style, full of life and true to nature. There is a little too much of the Ring slang, but it is all in the true vein of steeple-chasing run wild, but with plenty of cool courage and a determined de votion to win. " Malta in the 18th Century" gives a vivid picture of the departed glories of the famous Knights and their chivalrous Master, with all the quaint formalities of that mimic royalty and romantic splendour. Malta was it gem in the ocean cf those times when great guns and for tifications were a dream of the future. " Scenes of Franco - Arab Life and Horsemanship" are continued. The 17th chapter contains more descriptions of animated Arab Die and dexterous horsemanship. The Arab is as much at home in the desert as the sailor on the deep. Each becomes careless of life from familiarity with danger. Escape from accident is so common as to become a second nature to their adventurous and daring temerity. The 'Arab horse is so well trained that he seems to know his rider's mina by intuition, and acts with marvellous sagacity. He 15 withal so gentle that his very wildness seems tame to his master. At full gallop he will instantly stop as if it were on the very verge of the precipice. Should accident ot necessity compel his rider to dismount suddenly, he needs : _ but to throw the reins over his horse's neck, and the ani" mal will stand still at the instant, and remain immovabi e in the same spot for hours till his master makes him fee.' the curb again. How invaluable would such training be to our fair riders in Rotten Row! Articles on " Literature," " The Royal Navy," "How Wellington W° l2 his Spurs," and " The late Admiral Martin White," wi lh ! other good papers, complete the number. It seems Oa,' Admiral White became eminent for his survey of the Eng' lish and Irish Channels and the Bay of Biscay to the " edge of soundings," for which he received the thanks °f the Admiralty and that of the French Government, his charts of the Channel and nautical instructions b e i n g coo" sidered as a sort of finger-post to the seaman, whethei in the navy or the merchant service. St. Matthew's Day, ..- On the 21st instant, being St. Matthew's Day, the Lora .Mayor, aldermen, and sheriffs will attend Divine service 0 Christchurch, Newgate-street, where a sermon will li e preached by the Rev.

THE LATE OUTRAGE AT FINGLAS.—The operation of extracting the ball from the skull of the poor man Cummins, who was so brutally attacked at Finglas last week, was successfully performed at the Richmond Hospital on Saturday morning. Three portions of a ball were taken from between the frontal and inner bones of the skull. The pieces found were but half the weight of a regular ball, and the doctors are of opinion that the missing half did not enter the skull at all, but rebounded. Cum mins, who bore the operation with great fortitude, is pro gressing as favourably as can be expected, but the prisoner O'Flynn, although slightly improved, is not yet out of danger of an attack of erysipelas. The swelling of his head, caused by the beating he received from young Cum mins while bravely defending his father, has considerably abated; and it is thought if he continues to improve in the same degree as during the past fow days, his recovery may bo looked forward to at a much earlier period than was at first expected. KILLED BY BEES.—A very sudden and melan choly fatality has occurred in the neighbourhood of Wigton, through which Mr. Toppin, innkeeper, of the Highland Laddie, lost his life. It seems that Mr. Toppin had gone up to Slea-green to take the honey from some bees, intend ing to take it by a method only recently brought into use. While at work, from some cause or other the bees seemed to get irritated very much, and came out of one of the hives, settling on the poor man's head, face, and neck, so as to completely cover them. Ho ran off some little dis tance, and when followed and found—which was in a few minutes afterwards—ho was found lying on his face, and quite dead. It seems most likely that he had taken a fit of some kind, probably produced by the pain and fright.— Carli,de Examiner. Despatches were received yesterday at the Colo nial-office from the Governors of the Care of Good Hope, Natal, St. Helena, and Canada. Despatches were sent to the tieverwro Qflta and 119hdurae.
