The aspect of Canadian affairs is just now a mat ter of the deepest interest, and every particular of the engagements entered into between this country and British North America is received with atten tion. There are divided opinions on this as on every other subject, some persons thinking that England should undertake the whole expense and responsibility of protecting the colonies, while others—these, fortunately, form but a small party—are inclined to surrender all connection with those vas+, and yearly improv ing territories rather than run the risk of offending American sensibilities. The Govern ment appear to have acted with prudence and liberality between these opposite courses, and have succeeded in reassuring the colonists, and re moving any lingering anxiety or uneasiness which the language held by some of our Parliamentary speakers may naturally have given rise to. The Canadians themselves are acting in a fair and conciliatory spirit. Whild admitting the necessity of defending their country more effectually than at present, an 1 showing every readiness to come forward with their share of men and money, they are nowise anxious to provoke their powerful neighbour or to give grounds for a quarrel by making any active demon strations. They are now more eager to strengthen themselves by a renewal of the commercial com munications between the States and Canada on their old footing than to exhibit by their forts and warlike preparations their readiness for a war. The renewal of the Reciprocity Treaty is a matter of great moment to the Canadians ; and, if we are to believe the emphatic language of the address from Detroit last year, it is scarcely less so across the border. It ;formed a prominent sub ject of the discussions between the Colonial Dele gates and the Home Government during their late conferences, and the assistance of her MAJESTY'S Ministers was invoked in order to obtain a fair hearing for the merits of the case at Washington. In the Legislative Assembly of Canada, in reply to certain questions which had been put to the Government, Mr. CARTIER, the Attorney-General and one of the members of the deputation, read a paper summing up briefly the policy to be pursued during the session. The reciprocity question formed an important item of this statement, and Mr. CARTIER announced that a meeting of Delegates from the Provinces was to be held i n Quebec in the course of Sep tember, under the Governor-General, for the impose of arranging an united action in regard to the Reciprocity Treaty. Mr. CARTIER did not indicate the policy that the Government was prepared to recommend, as the meeting was to be held within so brief a period, but he stated that the Canadian Ministry was prepared to enter into any negotiations with the American Government on the most liberal footing. Perhaps the time which has elapsed since the first hasty notice for the termi nation of the treaty may have allowed the American statesmen the opportunity of regretting that foolish and impolitic measure. They have received an unmistakeable proof of the s hortsightedness and error of thus checking the free commercial inter course between the two countries ; and, however p o pular the measure may be among a certain set in New York and New England, it will be looked up on with great dissatisfaction by the merchants an d dealers whose interests will suffer. The Colonial Government seems to think it wiser to defer any active measures for the protection of the country. They are hampered by the postpone ment of the union, and can hardly push on the grand central works until that important matter is definitively settled. With regard to the Confede ration itself they do not propose to recommend any further action during this session. Perhaps they may think that any display of eagerness or em pressement on their part will only serve to excite still further the jealousy of the smaller colonies, and that leaving the matter to time and reflection will be the best way to overcome their prejudices. In the fear of the maritime provinces that they will lose their identity by becoming united to Canada they appear to forget the real danger that threatens them from another quarter. Their sea-board • will always give them peculiar advantages which Canada has not, and which will always prevent them from becoming absorbed by their larger and more conspicuous ally. But if they choose to run the risk of becom ing annexed to the United States they will find themselves in a very different position. There are plenty of seaports round the magnificent coasts of the States, and the maritime provinces of Great Britain will only be valued because they once belonged to their hated and dangerous rival. Nova Scotians and New Brunswickers are not likely deliberately to prefer annexation to the States to union with Canada ; neither will Eng land suffer them to be forcibly incorporated with America Schleswig-Holstein fashion, but by their refusal to join in the proposed confederation scheme they may bring about serious evils. The old fable of the bundle of faggots has been illustrated too often in history for its lesson to be overlooked, and every politician knows that the weakness of republics and small States lies in their perpetual disunion and division. We hope that with these various reasons for delay too much time will not be Ipst in beginning the necessary prepa rations ; but no doubt the Canadian Government is actuated by sound motives, and wishes to avoid any appearance of defying its neighbour at this juncture of the Treaty question. The Intercolo nial Railroad is still admitted by all parties to be a matter of the first necessity ; and Mr. CARTIER reiterated the conviction of the Ministry that it was indispensable to the accomplishment of the confederation scheme. We learn by the news from Quebec that the surveys and estimates for this undertaking have been submitted to the Canadian Parliament. The route proposed is via River du Loup, Fredericktown, and Picton to Halifax, and the estimate is 25 millions, or $440,000 per mile. As regards the loan which has been talked of, the Home Government has expressed its willingness to arrange all terms in the manner most favourable to the province ; so that, should the colonial Ministry decide upon applying for a guaranteed loan, there will be no difficulty in settling the details. The most important question that is likely to be brought before the Canadian Parliament this year is that of the North-West Territory which presses for settlement. The colonists have wisely deter mined not enter upon a long and costly lawsuit with the new company, who have most improperly been favoured by the British Government with the re newed monopoly. They prefer to enter into an arrangement by which they can indemnify the com pany for any reasonable claims, but even with this condition there is good ground to fear that the com pensation demanded will be a heavy pull on the finances of the colony. Under these circumstances a guaranteed loan would be the best means of re conciling difficulties, and the advantages to be gained by throwing open the rich and fertile terri tories of the north-west to the enterprising settler would speedily reimburse any temporary outlay. The French are particularly brilliant in their criticism on political matters, especially foreign ones, and the writer in the Revue des deux Monde has achieved a great success in his epitome of the Ger man tactics of late years. He has taken up the subject con amore, and not allowed himself to be mystified with the confused statements of preju diced partisans. This theme is now well-nigh worn threadbare, but still in this article we find much to suggest matter for observation and reflec tion. In point of fact no one can treat the affair in a proper style who does not recognise in the first place the gross fraud that has been committed by the diplomatists of Berlin, and the artful manner in which they have contrived to outwit and cajole all dissentients into real or affected acquiescence. It must be ad mitted by all that the Prussian Minister has shown himself master of his peculiar line of policy, and I in this, as in many other such cases, the opinions of the apparently most acute have been shown to be erroneous. Not alone do those who tread the usual round of conventionalism, and follow the beaten track of mediocrity, achieve the most signal successes and make themselves the most prominent in their generation. The sapient diplomatists of Europe have made rather a mistake in this matter, and the writer in this critique aptly discourses their oversight. The conclusion they arrived at in respect of this alienation was a very unfavourable one, and now he has out distanced them in the race, and stepped in to win the prize, while they are left without, blank and dfgcomfited. Whatever grave errors he may have committed, and however contrary his practices may be to the notions of honour and high principle, it is very certain that there is now no occasion to laugh at Herr VON BISMARCK'S war. This is only proof of the mistake which people make when they at tempt to be too clever, and measure their estimation of character by rule, instead of taking that broad view of human nature by which only individuality can be discovered in its tendencies and power. In the case of Herr von BISMARCK, it is a success which is perilous, and which contains within itself the germs of decay. It is founded on those doctrines that were much in vogue during past gene rations, but which these present days of enlighten ment and progress have almost wholly discarded. It is not probable that such a wholesale robbery as that which has just been consummated at Gastein can be allowed to continue in its integral form, but, with one circumstance and another, it may last for the present. This writer remarks in a very impressive manner upon the supineness of Austria in this question, and there can be no doubt that that country has abne gated many of its indefeasible rights, and retro graded to a great extent by its many concessions to Prussia. We could not have a better instance of the rapid growth of evil, and the great respon sibilities which those incur who allow matters to go by default, instead of arousing themselves in the right spirit, and addressing themselves to the case before them, whether it be pleasant or otherwise. Had Austria, for instance, been more on the alert, or had the minor States of Germany been more patriotic, the results must have been very dif ferent. It is most painful to dwell upon our share of these transactions, for sins of omission may be as great as sins of commission, and worse, if we attempt to deceive ourselves and others by declaring it is no concern of ours. This argument might have been valid had it been made respecting any lin e of Policy France and Russia had thought fit to Pursue ; but, in the case of Germany, we are so raised up in the interests of those States, and so deeply involved in all that concerns the policy of the leading Powers, that it is an insult to common sense to say that there was nothing we could have done. Well may the eloquent writer above re ferred to exclaim against the apparent 4, ana chronism of the GASTEIN Convention,' an d state the swindle and confiscation of the Duchies may " render us more indulgent for the generation that allowed the partition of Poland." There has not, indeed, been one valid reason given why all this confusion worse confounded should have occurred in Germany, and only the rights of the Danish Sovereign should have been sequestered, for that they were rights has been admitted by the Crown lawyers of Prussia, them selves advisers of the arch conspirators at head quarters. Can anything exceed in downright swindling and organised hypocrisy the conduct thus AO properly described-," Certain pretexte were put THE SUB, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 4, 1865. forward for the commencement of the enterprise ; at its conclusion these same pretexts were disarmed, the King of DENMARK'S right of succession to Schleswig-Holstein was contested ; the KING, once despoiled of the provinces he was accused of un justly holding, he was recognised as the sole legi timate proprietor of the territory he had been com pelled to cede." If this be not a mockery of justice and a defiance to the public opinion of Europe, it is difficult to say what is. A few years ago no one could have been blamed for stating that such a scandalous confiscation could not possibly occur in the centre of Europe without a general protest being made against it; but we live and learn strange things, and it is a bitter mortification to know that a great wrong has been done, and all that lookers ' on have done has made matters worse instead of better. The King of DENMARK, at all events, is not the only victim, and the others have been made such dupes that in some respects their posi tion is worse than his, for they have made them selves ridiculous in the eyes of Europe, and had to descend from the sublime to the ridi culous. The melancholy and yet ludicrous part which the secondary States play in this game is well chronicled here when the writer observes, " Once in the House, the Court of Berlin shut the door in the face of those to whom it had declared that it entered on their behalf, and turning round upon them, said, ' Now turn us out.' " Such is, in truth, the exact counterpart of the manner in which matters have been carried on, and it is quite refreshing to meet with so plain a statement and powerful a description of events that are too often told in a garbled form, and related in a smuggling fashion, with a whole catalogue of unmeaning phrases and stereotyped expressions. One thing is proved beyond a doubt in this affair of the Duchies, and that is that a great deal to much has been made of the independence of Germany. No wonder that the smart commentator of events in the Revue in quires if the public conscience and public spirit of Germany have gone to sleep for ever. Instead of seeing any proof of the progress which was so loudly vaunted, we have a marked decadence to chronicle in the retrospect taken of this Duchy question. There has been certainly much ado about nothing in the way of national demonstrations and such like, and all has ended in an indecent haste to par ticipate in cheating others, and a tame submis sion at least in being cheated themselves. Many a solemn warning may be taken from this Schleswig-Holstein affair. Prussia has triumphed so far at the expense of the rights of Denmark, the consistency of Austria, and the reputation of the minor States of Germany. It remains to be seen, however, if a day of retribution is not looming in the distance when that crafty kingdom shall discover that other's losses have not been her gain, and that by taking an unworthy advantage of circumstances she has overreached herself and precipitated her fall. A remarkable letter on the threatening approach of that great scourge of modern times, The Cholera, will be fodnd elsewhere in our impression of this evening. We intentionally accord to it all possible prominence. For, the subject, in itself, is one essentially of national importance. It comes home—to employ Lord Bacon's quaint old phrase—to " men's businesse and bo , somes," to the hearths and to the hearts of each one amongst us. And the letter itself—besides this at tractiveness of it, by:reason of the extraordinary im portance of the subject upon which it treats—is one entitled to some more than usually serious attention from the mass of the population, because of the eminence of the names, respectively, of its author and its recipient. The letter referred to, it will be seen, is one addressed to JOHN BRIGHT by DAVID URQUHART. It is a►n appeal to the common sense, to the sound judgment, and to the loyal civism of the foremost Tribune of the People now living, by a man who is still (as he hasbeen now for some years past) devoting the whole energies of his life to the grateful labour of securing to the un-wise men of the West one of the greatest benefactions ever con trived by some of the wisest among the wise' men of the East--a benefaction designed espe cially to secure to humanity the realisation of the mens sana in corpore sano—a benefaction at once grounded upon and enforcing the old mediaeval dogma about Cleanliness being next to Godliness. The real value and significance of this letter, addressed to Mr. BRIGHT by Mr. URQUHART, upon the threatened approach to us of the dread disease of the Asiatic Cholera, lies in the simple fact of its being from first to last in tensely practical and directly to the purpose. Hence, we publish it. Hence, while publishing it, we thus pointedly call public attention to the circumstance of its appearance. Mr. URQUHART suggests a course of proceeding that, if adopted be times and acted upon energetically, we do firmly believe, in our innermost conscience, would be the all but certain means, under heaven, of saving the lives of hundreds, of thouands, of tens of of thousands of our adult and infant population. That is to say, of course, if the fears latterly enter tained in regard to the probable advent, once more, amongst us, of the Asiatic Cholera, should unhappily, sooner or later, be actually realized. Whatever deci sion may ultimately be arrived at by the authorities in regard to Mr. URQUHART'S suggestion—it is a suggestion entitled at the very least (everyone must allow that) to a calm, dispassionate, prompt, searching, and most serious consideration. That consideration we now demand for it in the name of the threatening Epidemic, in the name of Common Sense, in the name of Humanity. In ad dressing himself, nominally, to one eminent Eng lishmen, Mr. URQUHART addresses himself to All Englishmen—in addressing JOHN BRIGHT he ad dresses JoHN BULL : and the least that Jour; BULL can do in return is to give him a hearing. THE COMING OF CIiuLERA. To John Bright, Esq. Chalet des Metezes, above St. Gervais, Haute Savoie, France, July 30, 1865. Dear Sir,—Though above the region of news papers, rumours from the world below have reached me of the advance from the East of the Cholera. I have considered to whom I could best address myself to move the adoption of measures by which the scourge, should it reach our shores, may be stopped, or its fatal effects mitigated. My choice has fallen on yourself, as I know no one, who, if inclined to do so, could act so effectu ally alike on the Government and on the public mind. You are familiar with the means to be em ployed. You alone have opened your mouth in Parliament on the subject. I therefore expect from you a quarter of an hour of serious consideration before you reject the appeal I make to you. I will confine myself to the merest indications. The cholera is a malady which yields to a certain treatment with great docility. That treatment does not consist in drugs to be obtained on the occasion, but requires the previous construction of an apartment and the instruction of attendants and others in its proper use. The treatment consists in obtaining abundant transpiration and in application of external force. By first (heat) an escape is afforded for the poison (urea) , which in this malady does escape, even when unaided external heat, through the skin. By the second (shampooing so vehement as to extend to blows) the cramp is relieved, breaking the tension of the nerves, and restoring the equilibrium of the circulation, My conclusions as to the certainty of stopping cholera by the Turkish Bath were formed on a priori grounds. My own life has been saved in a relapse of cholera by the same means when I had no bath, and had to obtain the heat in a subsi diary manner. These few words contain, if you give to them effect, protection from death and relief from suffering for hundreds of thousands of our fellow -creatures. There is, however, a preliniinary objection which cannot fail to be urged, and to it I must supply the answer. If the Turkish bath cures the cholera, how is it that it comes to us from Alexandria and Con stantinople ? The Turks are not in the habit of going to the bath when attacked by cholera, and if they did they would not be cured, because the heat of their bath at present has descended below the necessary - point, and the amount of vapour has consequently in creased, so as to neutralise in a considerable degree the value of that heat which they still retain. What I speak of is the Turkish bath as I have presented it to Europe, which in case of disease must have the heat equal to or surpassing* that of boiling water, and in which the air must be perfectly dry. I can recall an incident which will make the case clear. It bears not on the cholera, but the plague. But the value of it consists in showing that I could obtain perfect immunity from the latter disease whilst at Constantinople, and making use of one of their baths, by merely taking the precaution of using additional fuel. In 1837 I inhabited a yali (country house) on the Bosphorus at Arnaotet Keni. A half circle of hills on the west enclosed the village. There not only did the plague rage, but an encampment had been formed just above me for the plague patients, and thence proceeded day and night the wail of the re lations of the dying and the dead. I did not fly, as others, the fatal spot. I did not take, as others, sanitary precautions. I had long been on familiar terms with the plague, visiting it wherever it was to be found. My confidence was based on two con siderations. The one was the discovery I bad just before made of the immediate cause of its propaga tion, by which I could rate the danger even to feet. The other was the protective and curative power of heat. The discovery was this. That the plague extended first in places exposed to the heavy gases evolved from the burying grounds ; and that these escaped in consequence of a peculiar manner of burying practised by the Mussulmans. The plague has now disappeared from Turkey, and I attribute its disappearance to the change in respect to the manner of burying, even though that change has been as yet but partial. My first precaution, then, consisted in closing up all the windows looking landways, or on the side of the cemeteries, and opening those on the side of the Bosphorus. My bath—in itself an attractive suite of apart ments--for it was the most beautiful private bath I have ever seen—was kept constantly heated. It fol lowed that the heat was high and the air dry. I occupied the bath as an apartment. There com menced the restoration of the Roman habit of taking the bath daily. Every person in the houSe went in daily. I explained the matter to them, and they submitted to this change in their national habits. Well, now as to the results. I escaped with impu nity. In the adjoining house to mine all died. I had no case of sickness. Not one of servants, about 30 in number, suffered whilst under thi s treat ment. Two died ; but they were away on leave— were smitten—and never returned. I think I have now met effectually, and in antici paticn, the objection, whether arising in your own mind, or in that of others, that the Turkish bath cannot be a protection, since it has failed to protect the inhabitants of Alexandria and Constantinople. I have referred to the "Manual of the Turkish Bath" to see what it contains on the subject. I am rejoiced to find that I there mentioned my own experience in the case of cholera above quoted, and that I have given a letter which I received in 1861 from Dr. Thudichurn, which enters into the patho logical rationale of the action of the bath in cholera. One passage I cannot resist quoting, referring to Ithe introduction of the bath, "The cholera in algia state need no longer be fatal." You will find these words at page 212. I have directed the volume to be sent to you with this letter, and I earnestly en treat you to study it. Should the cholera visit Great Britain, I shall consider it as a providential inspiration, the resolu tion I took in 1856, to apply myself to the practical introduction of the bath in our country ; for it has now taken Toot. Sufficient results to convince, sufficient experience to operate, sufficient authority to justify public measures and expenditure, have been obtained, so as to interpose this process on a commensurate scale between the people and the destroying angel. If you have not visited the Hammam in Jermyn street since the completion of the Radiating Cham ber, I beg you to do so without delay. It is the most perfect adaptation that I can suggest. It re duces also the expense to a mere per centage on that which would have been requisite had the ordinary Turkish or Roman bath been employed. You will see at page 112 of the Manual subsidiary means that may be called into play at once. I beg you also to communicate with Dr. Sheppard, the director of the Middlesex Asylum at Colney Hatch. If you move in the matter, you will find the military and medi cal authorities favourable. It is not only kngland that has to be looked to. The measures which you may induce the English people to take will be the signal for the adoption of the like all over the continent where the subject is as yet new or unheard of. It has, however, to be taken into account that there is about to be held at Geneva a meeting of the Swiss Scientific Association, which will be attended by the learned from all countries. There the Turkish bath cannot fail to be brought prominently forward, as the society has this year for President Dr. Gosse, the only medical man since Hippocrates who has so much as articulated the word " caloric " in reference to disease, until my preaching began. Dr. Gosse has recently published a work, which I send you ; it is called " The Turkish Bath Modified by Radiating Heat and its Introduction into Switzerland." In it he has given his experience in reference to plague and cholera, as treated by caloric. Whatever you do towards having the bath added to dispensaries, hospitals, unions, asylums, or as recommended to the adoptian of corporate bodies, will not be labour lost, should England not be visited this year by Asiastic cholera. Its value, as you well know, does not consist in being specific against the cholera or any other disorder. It com bats plague, yellow fever, typhus, consumption, &c., no less. Its value consists in placing the patient in a more favourable position in respect to disease, whether by purifying the body externally and in ternally, by counteracting inflammation, and ex tracting poisons. The fear of the cholera at this moment may therefore be turned to account to produce a vast benefit to the nation now and here after, a benefit which by its example and authority cannot fail to be extended to the whole of Europe. Believe me, faithfully yours, D. URQUHART. MR. AND MRS. CHARLES KEAA•.--.We learn from Canada that Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean are performing with immense success at the Montreal Theatre.

My boys are as undemonstrative a pair as you could have found in all the " Three Towns," no thing " loud" about them of any kind. Perhaps the eldest may have had a cigar in his mouth ; boys will do it, though they did not in my day ; but surely that ought not to have subjected us to a persecution from which not their quiet ways, nor even my grave face and dress, could save us. As things are managed all over England, I sup pose the Plymouth girls were right in emulating the activity shown by every other class. But what I ask is, cannot things be better managed? Two years ago I was in Paris at the Fête Napo leon. Every night a friend and I left the main strength of our party in the Faubourg St. Honore, and walked across to our students' lodging in the Quartier Latin. Yet we were never once " soli cited." Two years earlier, several of us were at Cherbourg (where we saw them building this Flandre, by the way) ; we walked out everywhere, and at all hours, but we never saw anything to offend the eye or ear of the most prudish. Why, then, could not my boys and I take a turn on the Hove without being scandalised by the coarse gam bols of Sal and her partner for the evening, and challenged to do likewise by the still unattached members of the roving sisterhood? Many say this law lessness in such matters is somethingin thebreed. An Irishman of my acquaintance is always quoting the Flemish women, brought over in Plantagenet times, and established under Episcopal patronage in Southwark—they called them the Bishop of Winchester's geese —to prove how weak the pure Teuton has always been in this direction. But surely his argument cuts the other way. There are, we know, plenty of " geese in pens " in every town in France to be had for the seeking. France differs from us in an enviable absence of the wandering fowl who go noisily about our streets, attacking all passers-by. She has kept, while we have lost, the mediaeval usage, based on Roman custom. Sureiy it would be better for the poor geese themselves, infinitely better for us and our sons, if they were decently housed, in stead of being suffered thus to roam on the loose. I know the whole question of regulation is one of extreme difficulty ; I do not pretend to enter into it. I only plead virginibus puerisque for our sons and daughters, who surely cannot see without danger what they now can scarcely help seeing. At present the difference between an English lad who goes about with his eyes open and a lad bred up a lycle is just this, that the latter may escape, till man hood brings wisdom, the dangerous " knowledge of good and evil," and all that it leads to ; while the former cannot. It is almost as if we acted on the principle, Adeo in teneris adsuescere multum est—a very good maxim in its way, but one of which I, the father of six suns,/question the applicability in the present instance. I make no apology for writing to you on this subject. It is false delicacy which keeps men of my cloth from facing a question which is one of the most important social questions of the day. As I write, the crowd parading under my hotel windows is behaving in a way which in Paris you could not match, except in the Jardin, or some such ques tionable, or rather unquestionable place. Fortunately, my boys are asleep. I leave the matter in your hands ; and am, Sir, your faithful servant, the writer signing himself A SOMERSETSHIRE RECTOR. The Belgian journals publish the programme of the National Rifle-match which is to commence on the 24th inst., and closes on the 3d October. It will be held as usial at the National establishment on the Cho.us6e de Louvain at Brussels. There will be 35 targets, and the value of the prizes (which are to be distributed on the 22d October) amounts to about 7C,ooofr. -London has decreased in the last in the ten years from 1840-1849 25.1 ants; in 1850-1859 the mortality fell that to 1,000 deaths of the first t 946 in the second.

I sat in a corner of the dress circle with feelings of mingled shame and dread. I felt like a criminal in the dock, conscious of his crime, and fearfully awaiting the verdict. In my anxiety I had no ears for the words, and the first thing that at tracted my attention was a round of applause. I anxiously inquired of my next neighbour what tho actor had said to excite so much enthusiasm ? His reply was— " What's your little game ?" and he said it through his laughter, as if it had been a very good point indeed. Another roar succeeded, and this time 1 heard for myself the joke which was so much approved. It was Mother Hubbard's exquisite witticism of " Hollo, boys, there goes another guy !" At this point, a friend came round to congratu late me. "It's going capitally," he said, " . the audience have taken it from the first, and you will see it will be all right ;" and he patted me on the shoulder encouragingly. My face was like a burning coal. I could have wished the dress-circle to open and let me quietly into the earth. My own pet jokes and neatly-turned witticisms scarcely excited a smile, excepting from some undemonstrative people in the stalls, who were too genteel to applaud. My friend evidently took the redness of my face for the flush of triumph ;it was the crimson of shame. But what could I say ? Was not the piece going capitally ? 'When the Giant said, "How's your poor feet !" a yell of delight burst from the audience. As for the " Cure," it was en cored twice, and the applause continued for several minutes, and was perfectly deafening. My friend came round again to slap me decisively on the shoulder, and say I was a made man. My success was too much for me ; and amid a storm of applause caused by Jack (entirely on his own responsi bility) asking the Giant "where he was going on Sunday 2" I fled from the intoxicating scene, and went forth to cool my fevered brain. Presently I found myself behind the scenes, the storm of applause raging more fiercely than ever. It was at the end of the opening, and the transfor mation scene was on. Thero was a call. It was for the manager, in acknowledgment for the amount of gold leaf he had lavishedupon the Dell of Delight. There was another call. It was for the artist who had designed the Dell of Delight, and spread the gold-leaf which the ma nager had paid for. There was a third call. It was for the author, and I plainly heard the voice of my friend above all the others, and leading them. I muttered to myself " Never !" but the manager came up at that moment, and, pushing me towards the curtain, said, " Go on ! go on !" I had no time to resist. The prompter pulled back the curtain, told me sharply to take off my hat, the manager gave me a shove, and there I was on the stage bowing to the public. Ah, little did I dream that I was bowing my neck in the dust to be trampled upon degraded ! Next morning the critics were loud in their praises of my Pantomime. It " sparkled with puns and parodies and smart allusions to the topics of the day, and kept tho audience in a roar of laughter from beginning to end." As for the author, he was congratulated on the circumstance that he would wake that morning and find himself famous as a writer of Pantomime. Other writers in the same department were warned to look to their laurels. I must confess that it was with a sense of triumph that I read this. Not that I was proud of my Pantomime. But I was now a dramatic author, and the market was open to me. Now for my tragedy ! I took the earliest opportunity of trying the market with that commodity. I offered it right and left. No one would have it. Not that the article was not in demand ; but no one would buy of me. "My dear sir, tragedy is not in your line ; stick to pantomime, that is your forte." " Tragedy ! My dear fellow, oh, nonsense ; if you have got a good short, smart, rattling farce now—" Such was the invariable reply ; and such has been the reply to this hour, whenever I have proposed to do any work of a higher order than a pantomime, a farce, or a comic sketch. Yet I am a poet. I could prove it if I could only find an editor to insert my verses. What was the reply the other day when I proposed a paper on the Sublimation of Thought as exemplified in the Philoct6tes of Sophocles. This : " am rather afraid of that subject ; suppose you write something about the Pantomime—which is more in your line." Well s hore it is.—Halliday's Every Day Papers. Collision on the London and North-Western Railway. Late on Saturday night a collision took place on the London and North-Western Railway at Wolverhampton. The train which leaves Liverpool at 6 39 p.m. is timed to reach Wolverhampton on its way to Birmingham at 10 5. On Saturday it was 15 minutes late; but later still was a train due over the Grand Junction from Walsall to Wol verhampton. At about 10 25 the Liverpool train, consist ing of some eight or ten carriages, was at the platform at the north end of the Queen-street station in Wolverham ton, and the tickets were being collected, when the Walsall train came up at a rapid rate and ran into the Liverpool train with a terrible crash. To the passengers it seemed as if the train, after striking the first time, rebounded, and that there were a series of collisions. The passengers wore impelled against one another and against the framework of the carriages with painful violence, and what appeared to be the repeated concussions had the effect of greatly in creasing their fears. The engine of the Walsall train dashed into an empty horsebox which formed the tail of the Liver pool train, destroyed it, and forced the ruins into the guard's van, which wasnext. The guard escaped with some shocks. The passengers were not, however, so fortunate, and the railway authorities have the names of eight on their list who received surgical aid on the spot, andare most of them at hotels in the town. So great was the force with which the horsebox was shattered that the . upper framework is almost entirely separated from the bottom and wheels. The buffers at one end are doubled up, and at the other broken off ; while the buffers at the end of the guard's van nearest to the horsebox are similary destroyed, one end of the van broken in by the horsebox having been thrown up and forced in. The case of one of the families in jured is very painful. It is that of Mr. William Beacon, jeweller and watchmaker, of Warrington. He was travelling with his sister, his wife, and a child, and a nephew, to be present at the interment of his brother at Coventry. Mrs. Beacon sustained a severe contusion on the left side of the face. Her husband has sustained a cut on the bridge of the nose. Mrs. Beacon was taken to the Swan Hotel, where she lies suffering from somewhat extensive scalp wounds and internal injuries. Also, at the Swan, there are the wife of Mr. Charles Savatard, of the Vesper Bell, Chester-le-street, Lady wood, Birmingham: and the wife of Mr. Priest, of 16, Oozel-street North, Birmingham. Mrs. Savatard is suffering from severe contusions to the knee of the left leg, which is very mu ch swollen, and also from a painful cut over the right eye. Mrs. Priest is also similarly injured upon the face. The surgeons who are attending these patients say it will not be safe for them to be moved for some few days. The wounds upon the head have been sewn up in each case. Another injured passen ger was Mr. Hust, surgeon-dentist, of Wolverhampton, who is suffering from extensive injuries to the scalp and a contused leg. Lying in different parts of the town are two other persons, inhabitants. The accident would seem to be unaccountable from any cause other than gross negli gence on the part of the driver of the Walsall train, whose name is Edward Jarvis, and who has been a long while in the service of the company. The signals, it seems to be admitted, ware on at " full danger," and he could have seen them far enough away to enable him to stop in time to prevent an accident. Moreover, the signals at that point are always on at " caution." The line is on an ascent of lin 100, and he would himself have had to stop at the platform at which the accident happened. The Reform League. The Executive Committee of the above League met at their rooms, 8, Adelphi-terrace, Strand, on Friday evening last; Edmond Beales, Esq., president, in the chair. The minutes of the previous meeting having been con firmed, The SECRETARY read correspondence from Glasgow, Caine, liillwall, Poplar, Garndiffaith, Southampton, and Greenwich. He also read the financial statement, from which it appeared that the League is in a prosperous con dition ; its branches are extending in every direction ; and the friends of reform are showing their vitality and ear nestness, and displaying an amount of energy which can not fail to meet its reward. The Finance Committee announced the kind offer of P. A. Taylor, Esq., M.P., to add £25 to the funds of the League, if seven other friends of the movement would do likewise. Samuel Morley, Esq., M.P., being the first to respond to the offer, the committee was instructed to take steps to obtain the other six names. It was then resolved that the Finance Committee should in future meet every Friday evening at 7 o'clock, so as to examine the accounts weekly and certify thereon to the Executive Council. Various reports were given in from different parts of London and the suburb; each telling of success. The sub - committee then submitted their report and sug gestions on the proposed metropolitan conference, which it was resolved should be considered more at length at the next meeting of the council. The death of M. Napoleon Chaix, the extensive printer of the Rue Bergere, has just taken place. He was only 56 years of age. Several journals have mentioned a rumour that M. Paulin Talabot, Deputy of the Legislative Body, had just died at Marseilles. We can state that he was in Paris yesterday, and in good health. Sanitary Condition of London.

His Majesty, accompanied by Count de Nieu werkerke, went on Thursday to the palace of In dustry and examined with the deepest interest the magnificent display of works of art. The Emperor was received at the principal entrance by M. Guichard, the president of the Exhibition. His Majesty was proceeding to pay for admission like a private individual, when M. Guichard said, " Sire, the doors are open to you." " No, Monsieur Pre sident," replied the Emperor, " I also must pass through the tourniquet." His Majesty then entered the nave and examined everything in full detail, making purchases and dispensing elogium. On coming to the works of ancient art, and seeing the case where the arms belong ing to count de Nieuwerkerke are exhibited, the Emperor offered spontaneously his own mag nificent collection, namely, at least 60 complete cuirasses and a vast number of panoplies. This col lection, one of the finest in existence, will be shortly exhibited in another room of the building. Prince Amadeus is expected to visit their Majes ties at Biarritz. Count Walewski, elected deputy in the Legisla tive body for the department of the Landes, has addressed his resignation as Senator to the Em peror, by whom it has been accepted.

THE BOGLE OF THE BROOK.--The new .story by the Hon. Mrs. Alfred Montgomery, under the title of "Bucklyn Shaig, or the Bogle of the Brook," will be published by Mr. Bentley in a few days. Throughout Surrey and Sussex the Bucklyn Shaig is a well-known goblin, believed in more or less by all the peasantry. At West Grinstead Park the scene of this new story is laid. The goblin, after crossing the brook sitting behind (en troupe) with the unfortunate rider, disappears in the form. of a black cat ; at Reigate he vanishes in the shape of a shaggy dog ; and at Bucklyn itself, near Leith Hill, he comes out like a very savage, long-haired wolf,' stopping the waggoner's team, nor can the frightened horses be induced to move. With such a theme the curiosity of the reader will find ample room for speculation. The talent of the fair author is well known. We expect a good story i 3 " Bucklyn Shaig." " FINE" WRITERS RAPPED OVER THE KNuCELES BY THE " SPECTATOR."—The style of " Our Special. Correspondents" at this time of the year alters sensibly for the worse, owing, we take it, to a relay of fresh hands, whose eloquence is supposed to pass muster at a time when no critical readers are to be found. Even the Times cor respondent at Portsmouth begins his letter in a well-known formula, borrowed from Mr. G. P. R. James—" Just as the setting sun last evening was lighting with its expiring rtlY° the roadstead of Spithead, the officers of the French fleet were being rowed to the Duke of Wellington, which is lying inside Portsmouth harbour,"—the picturesque-histo rical. The holiday tourist at Frankfort is, however, even worse. He becomes eloquent on a companion :—" 31 Y companion, gentle reader, was a gentleman, if 1 at all Imo*/ what ought to be understood by that appellation. The perfect lines of his profile, the thin though not emaciated face, the rich but smooth brown hair, the shaven chin, the bushy whiskers, the small ear, the long white taper fingers, the almond nails—all about him spoke of that blood which gives in England a much surer patent of high descent than any golden page in that sacred volume which the good natured cynic, Thackeray, rather profanely calls 'the British Bible.' " And he adds—" The word nice' seemed to have been coined for his benefit, and he was evidently 9, man whose keen senses are given to him rather for excru ciating pain than for exquisite pleasure,"—which is mannor of writing surely very rarely to be found in the Times, and rather in the rich pomatum style. THE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE BIRMINGHAM MEET' ING OF THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION are now pretty well made. The general President is Professor Job Phillips. The Vice-Presidents are—the Earl of Lichfield, Lord-Lieutenant of Staffordshire, the Earl of Dudley' Lord Leigh, Lord-Lieutenant of Warwickshire, Lord Lyttelton, Lord - Lieutenant of Worcestershire, Lord Wrottesley, the Lord Bishop of Worcester, Messrs. C. Adderley, W. Scholefield, J. T. Chance, A. F. Osier, an d the Rev. Charles Evans. The Presidents of Sections ar e ' —W. Spottiswoode, Esq. ; Professor W. A. Miller, Si t R. 1. Murchison, Professor Acland, Sir Henry Rawl:nson, Lord Stanley, and Sir W. G. Armstrong. The meeting promises to bo a great success. THE CIP.CASSIANS.—The emigration of the Ci f ; cassian tribes continues unabated. Two thousant'.. Tchechers with their arms, horses, and cattle, h ave been re, calved at Kars by the Turkish authorities, having be,, eo 0 conducted thither by Russian officers. The w hole of tribe, numbering some 60,000 souls, will, it is caper, follow the same route, and be dispersed over the district Mouch, Sirvas, and Diarbekir. The Kabardians have Ile, intimated their desire to emigrate, bu t the Porte has ref r t to their application that it cannot r eceive them before f? year. Another tribe t , th e Abases, wish to return to lir!: native mountains, and have req uested the Turkish Gove. ment to furnish them with vessels for the purpose.
