If so, I would ask what a mass of people, who had no popular voice, and, as a general thing, in a much inferior condition socially, pecuniarily, and In common education to the negroes of equivalent localities of the Northern States, could effect by any demono,ration ? To have learned the sentiments of the people of Eng _ _ _ land he should have visited the discussion halls and favou rite places of free-and-easy amusement, from the music halls of Covent Garden to places of the kind throughout England, and he would have discovered that whilst the names "of the brave Generals who were fighting the battles of mankind received little applause and a roar of groans and hisses, the very mention of Lee and others, who were conspicuous in the battles for slavery, were subjects for the most enthusiastic cheering. At the earliest possible period England placed the rebels on a war footing, and throughout the contest carefully ~,r ntpatad and sunnliarl ihnir nriyateeis in - all her D ori., and secured the pirates on American commerce from jus tice, who had been knowingly following their infernal mischief long after the war was over. The whole purpose of the British Government and the people, from the firing of the first gun at Charleston, was apparently to nurse and tender to the slave drivers' conspiracy—it being their duty, according to their leading journal, to " sympathise with the- pure English blood of the South, rather than the plunder ing hordes of the North." Contrast all this with the refusal of the British authorities of a little aid to theNnited States steamer Kearsage, that an English vessel would have obtained in any port on the globe. I think that if your correspondent will call to mind how eagerly the Trent affair was snapped up as a pretext for menacing the United States, he will change his construc tion of its fall "on the hearts of Englishmen " from that of "a thunderbolt" to something more appropriate. Within forty-eight hours after the receipt of the information (though not from the United States) of the capture of the rebel commissioners by an ambitious captain, who they knew to a moral certainty had no instructions to that effect from his Government, the dockyards and arsenals of Great Britain were at work on a grand scale, and enormous forces were hurried off to war with a people who were innocent of even any charge of offence. This brave enterprise failed, however, to effect anything as far as the United States were concerned (the captain having been already, according to American laws, placed at the disposal of the British Government to be taken " when they liked and where they liked"), except a polite invitation from Mr. Seward to land the belligerent forces at Portland as a more convenient direction to the Canadas, which were to be defended from the hard-wrought fancy invasion of the " detested Yankees." Mr. Rawlings on England's Debt to America. The following letters on this subject appear in he Anglo-American Times. Sul, —ln his letter of last week, published in your paper, Mr. Rawlings informs us that America owes to England a debt of gratitude for her courage in refusing to co-operate with France in recognising the South during the late re bellion. This assertion about France having attempted to seduce England from her position of neutrality has been so often made of late that even we, who know better, will by and by begin to believe in it as true. If true, we should know the facts, in order that those of us. ho believe otherwise may be set right, and thus give credit where it is due ; and, if not, that justice should be done to our French neighbours by no longer charging them with a conspiracy of which they were never guilty. Until some very substantial evidence is adduced to support Mr. Raw lings' assertion I, for one, shall continue in my present in credulity, knowing, as I do, that the facts, as far as known, all point the other way. It is true that more than once during the war certain London papers put forth some such statement as this, that the French Emperor had been seeking the co-operation of the British Government for the aforesaid object ; but when Earl Russell was appealed to in Parliament to corroborate the report, he flatly and promptly contradicted it, adding that no communication whatever had passed between the two Governments on the subject. In the face of this Mr. Rawlings may prefer to believe the newspaper reports. I do not. But hopes were still entertained by the British Govern ment that they have not acted in vain ; and the press goaded on the hanker for war. The arsenals were still employed much of the time both day and night with the great est energy, until a " stunner" came across the Atlantic and suddenly changed the direction of the political vane. A little iron fighting machine, which its designer named a Monitor, as a caution to Europe, had repulsed a powerful contrivance of a " wonderful people." The Merrimac, the armour of which had been so long in preparation, was beaten by the floating cheese-box that had been constructed within one hundred days, and more of which of a similar kind were soon to come. " Wooden walls" became imme diately at a great discount, and England cried peace and strict neutrality, but still " patting Pompey on the back." Again, your correspondent says :—" England had the courage to refuse to co-operate with France in recognising the South. America owes her a debt of gratitude fox that." I think, Mr. Editor, that this gross untruth, which emanated If any further proof of the neutral intentions and spirit of the French Emperor is wanting it would be easy to cite his reply to Mr. Dayton, our late American Minister to his Court, in the interview, as reported in that gentleman's official correspondence. To Mr. Dayton's question, " What -- wnryour - Kcraatuvve Government declining to accept your offer of mediation ?" the Emperor answered promptly and emphatically, " Nothing." This is too well known to be disputed, and it would be accusing the Emperor Napoleon of some thing worse than duplicity to suppose in the face of such a declaration he would deliberately conspire with another Government to bring about the disruption of the Union. I should like to ask Mr. Rawlings whether it was from France or England that a deputation, composed of influen tial members of Parliament, went to urge upon their neigh bouring Sovereign the propriety and importance of recog nising the Southern Confederacy without delay, and whether that Sovereign did not positively refuse to do anything of the kind; and, furthermore, whether it was in France or in England that a society called the "Southern Independence Association" was formed for the purpose of aiding the enemies of the Union in their villainous designs. from the source of hundreds of others touching American affairs, although sincerely believed by many honest Eng lishmen, and also some uninformed Americans, has had its run about lon encu h. fine rrencb napertst nas =‘,-..- ments expressed by him in his speech on the opening of the Chamber of Deputies in 1862. He said—" As much as we may regret the state of affairs in America, we must not interfere as long as the rights of neutrals are respected." It is understood to be true, that when the war was raging at; its highest the Emperor sought the co-operation of England in bringing about an amicable means of peace, but he distinctly stated to the United States Minister that nothing more was meant ; but it so happened that just about this time some Confederate successes impressed Eng land with confidence in their ultimate victory, and any chance of American disruption was not likely to meet with interference by the direst enemy to the Republic. So current was this story of the French desire for British co-operation in the recognition of the South that Earl Russell was called upon for correspondence upon the subject ; but his reply was, if I am correct, that he knew of nothing of the kind. I think your correspondent cannot forget, however, that to some extent the case was somewhat reversed by a com mittee of Englishmen going to Franco, seeking an audience with the Emperor, in order to obtain his assent to joining England in the favourite recognition scheme ; and he may not forget at the same time how ridiculous those gentle men made themselves in the undertaking. I don't think America owes England much of "a debt of gratitude" for the failure of that famous party to obtain the French Em peror's influence. attend daily at their only Establishment. 13, Tiohborne street, top of the Haymarket. (Note the Address). It may appear illiberal to take exception to Mr. Raw lings' generally excellent and able letter even on this one point, but it seems to me a matter of historical importance that the question should be cleared up ; and as I have not seen any contradiction to the statement so often repeated since the war about French intrigue and English neu trality, I think it my duty to raise my humble voice in the cause of what I firmly believe to be the truth. If wrong, I am open to conviction ; but I require some better evi dence than unfounded newspaper statements, made at a time when nearly the whole press of this country was furious with passion and hostility against everybody and everything connected with the Northern Government or the Union cause. If Mr. Rawlings can produce that evidence nobody will be more pleased than London, July 25, 1866. S. DR.

Your obedient servant, It is the second time that the United States Government has secured the Canadas to Great Britain, notwithstanding the repeated taunts that the " Yankees" hanker for its possession; and it is to be regretted that, whilst the American Government is but executing its own principles of justice, it cannot, at the same time,• be in reciproca tion of honest intentions from those it protects. As to " how England shall repay America," it is pro bably now known. Though England has refused to refer the demands and even ignore the claim, it will neverthe less be paid in full, and, I think, without any objection being made in a hostile way.—Very respectfully, PARIS, July 24, 1866. SlR,—Under the above heading I notice in your last issue a letter signed " T. Rawlings, F.R.G.5.," whose friendship for the United States, I think, has led him to represent matters he touches upon more as he would have them to be than as they are in reality. His enthusiasm as to the present and future of the United States may, however, be properly founded, though were it put forth by an American, I am under the impres sion that it would be in great danger of being pronounced in England, " Yankee brag." 1 would not detract in the least, but rather add to the honours already due to your correspondent, and such names as Cobden, Bright, New man Hall, Cossham, and others whose principles will yet prove the political redemption of the English people; but, nationally considered, history and my own experience compel me to question the Correctness of several of his inferences. T. S. PROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE, FOR HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN, 14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.O. Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the nights in the bleak streets or under. railway arches. At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, aro given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refusedadmittance, and have to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish th e work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is propesed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving? The smallest donation will be most welcom e , and; night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will be offered in your behalf l SUBSCRIPTIONS are earnestly requested, and will be gratefully received by the Rev. D. GUM.= D.D., No 22 kiantry-eireus, E.O. He states that Englishmen are, by instinct, sympathy, and education, Abolitionists. Let us see. Previous to the year 1776 Lngland's traffic in slaves was greater than that of any othev nation ; and the capturing of an innocent people and carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere, or to incur a miserable death in their trans portation persistency of the British Government in keeping open a should be bought a nd sold, was great complaint rn a w r k h e i t c h i n w t o h u e l a A h m a e v r e i c a li b a colonies,n incorporated where men a subject for in the preliminaries to the decl aration of Ind e p en d ence o f the United States, ha d not a few of the Southern states, on the plea of the necessity of slave labour for raising cot leadn d of, ton, rice, and sugar, desired its continuation. But the successful termination :of the war for indepen patosEsensgs dence compelled England to abandon the infernal traffic, and soon after the Northern States not only prohibited fur ther importation of slaves, but commenced the entire aboli tion of slavery, and effected it in a way thatproved a social benefit to both white and black. It was not until thirty finding g irit (I won't be hind in the reform,herself say of jealousy), and liberated some eight hundred thou-, sand slaves in the West Indies. As this was done at a dash, and without any or forty years afterw b a e r ea ds m t e h apparent consideration for the future of the unprepared negro, and the frequent questions subsequently in the leading English journals, and by pro- minent people, as to the propriety of the emancipation, arguing the superior condition of the' negro as a slave, it has been suspected by many that the great anti-slavery impulse was but a stroke of " pious thunder." Hence these precedents, with the revelations of the last few years of the complicity in eve ry available form with the slave -drivers' war for more firmly establishing and vastly extend ing " the peculiar institution" that was to be " the chief corner-stone" of their empire, must satisfy the world as to England's real position, True, the kingdom possessed within itself no black slaves, but '° cunning dogs don't kill sheep at home." There was once Cowper, Wilberforce, and many others who plead for abolition ; but who knows, had they lived through the American slave-drivers' war, which of them A NEW PICTURE BY MR. HOLMAN HUNT must interest all who will go to Messrs. Colnaghi's for the purpose of seeing it. There may be examined his latest work, one having a subject removed from those of his former pictures, but equalling them in brilliancy of execu tion, fidelity, and power in characterisation. We do not regret that an able artist should give a minor portion of his time to themes less intense in feeling, and of humbler aim than may be usual with him; accordingly, we com mend this effort with such a subject as was afforded by pigeons gathered on a wet day about a dovecote, and passing the time as well as they can. The painter's approaching departure for the East, and the promise it conveys of graver work, gives zest and interest to the pre sent picture, which is styled " The Festival of St. Swithin'' —pigeon moping about their elevated houses, while the rain comes down, and the flying scud mocks their hopes of sunshine ere sunsetting. The' birds cluster on the ledges of the cote : some have retreated to the interior; others, in various moods of rest lessness, fight without ; one, with a dark-green and gleaming breast—a mixture of bronze and gold—is en sconced, and, with blinking eyes of scarlet fire, looks out of the dark. A dappled bird, of lovely cinnamon hue that is dashed with white and flecked with glancing metallic green, alights on the edge of the little gallery before the chamber of its mate, flutters, and with rosy claws clutches its edge. From the lower tier of pigeon-holes a tenant looks forth, and sulkily pulls at a straw. Under the leeward eave of the high-pitched roof of the tenement, a darkly-feathered bird hurdles in desperate humour with the persistent rain that, gathering near his head, falls in heavy drops to gather in a stream below, and pour away in an exasperating manner ; he waits the long-coming relief. On the other side, where the daylight falls, is perched a pair huddling under the eaves; the one, as his feathers are ruffled, looks like Humpty Dumpty, and glows in dun and green fires of feathers. The background is a landscape, a garden, thickly massed trees, a church tower looking over them, while, nearer, modern houses of the "villa" sort appear. The truth with which Mr. Hunt has rendered the effect of daylight—the breadth of brilliancy rather than of massed shadow, so often the recourse of painters —the splendour as well as the softness of the chiaroscuro in this picture, deserve most attentive examination and tho highest applause. Mr. Hunt seems bent upon refuting the common practical dogma that breadth is only obtainable in masses of shadow; he finds it in expanse of light. At/iv/Num. e . - (P'ff':" . .. 7,, , , p,*- ')\ .

Who does not remember the scowl of all Eng land at President Lincoln's emancipation proclamation? Your correspondent also says in reference to the be ginning of the war—" In England I know that the univer sal sympathy was with the North." This differs so essen tially from the discovery of all others that I ever knew, of any experience, that the statement is rather surprising. A great deal of travelling over the kingdom during the war forming a contingency to the writer's pecuniary inte rests, it was with no small degree of pain that he rarely met with a friend to the Northern States, but many of hostile feeling; and as a pretext for favouring the South, they usually contended that the negro had better be a slave than treated (as they endeavoured to fancy) as ho was in the Northern States. in fact, the mover about amongst the English people met with a general chuckle over the " bursting of the great Republican bubble," and the pleasing prospects of a severe punishment upon:the perpetrators of the " hundreds of (imaginary) Yankee in sults." ../S'rjec ~..-.--7 ,-'- ~--c:_) PRICE.... ld.

[The following admirably clever, wise, and witty jeu d'esprit we take not only with acknowledgment but with the liveliest satisfaction also from the August number of Blackwood.] When a man is beslobbered by high and by low, Tn our Senates and Schools deemed a Light of the age ; When his c.ensures on all he aspires to bestow -- ; And the multitude hails him a Statesman and Sage,— Before we just venture To own such a Mentor, Let us see if he's fit this position to fill : Let us canvass his labours, As he does his neighbours, And examine the claims of the great Stuart Mill. His System by some very shallow is reckoned ; Three facts, or three fallacies, fill up his cast : Sensation comes first, Recollection is second, And then Expectation, the third and the last. We feel something present That's painful Or We repeat or recall it by Memory--.,ri11 : What happened before, sir, We look for once more, sir, And that's the whole Soul of the great Stuart Mill. At a glimpse of things real we never arrive, Nor at any fixed Truth that we try to explore: In some different world two and two make five, Though appearances here seem to say they make four. Our mental formation Has small operation ; The mind, if we have one, is passive and still : We are ruled by our Senses, Through all our three tenses, • Past, present, and future, says great Stuart Mill. What we never have witnessed, we cannot conceive ; - nsoutt.A..niiitz , be: In a God or a Devil can any believe, When the one or the other they don't feel or see ? A future existence Had best keep its distance, Till there's ocular proof that the thing's a true bill : Any childish emotion _a. Of Faith and Devotion, Is fully explained by the great Stuart Mill. Three different stages of changing opinion Are travelled by men in this planet of ours : In the first Superstition exerts its dominion ; In the next, metaphysical Forces and Powers • When these two are past, sir, Comes the best and the last, sir, • Comte's Positive Laws every purpose fulfil : But about tho Great Cause, sir, That founded those Laws, sir, There's nothing in Comte, and as little in Mill. Yet without any God a Religion may be, Which in priesthood andpower with its rivalsmay cope; Which in Dead Men and Women may Deities see, And have Comte for its Prophet, and Mill for its Pope. But what's called Right and Wrong, sir, Is just an old Song, sir; Ne'er tell me of Duty, Good actions, or Ill: Being Useful or not, sir, Determines the lot, sir ; So Bentham found out, and so thinks Stuart Mill. Doctor Cumming predicts that the World's near an end ; Stuart Mill says that Coal will soon dwindle away : Cumming preaches that therefore our ways we should mend; Mill exhorts that the National Debt we should pay. Whichsoe'er may come first, sir, Or turn out the worst, sir,— The Great Conflagration, .or General Chill, — We've to thank the men both, sir, But I give you my oath, sir, I don't half believe either Cumming or Mill. Mill allows that the Franchise he'd fearlessly lower, To admit all the masses who read and write ; Which would make him, I fear, of muchmischief the sower, If Lorimer's project don't keep it all tight. But here by appealing To chivalrous feeling, Mill hopes he'll succeed in well gilding the pill ; To throw open the poll, sir, To every Femme Sole, sir, Is the gallant proposal of good Stuart Mill. If a Viceroy, defending his difficult post, Show a zeal to have Treason and Bloodshed suppressed; And if thereby some turbulent lives should be lost, He is guilty of Murder—for doing his best!

Mill's system, in our opi nion, is —we will not say Atheistic—but Untheistic ; it may not deny, but it does not assert, or presupptse, the existence of a Detiy ; it ignores the idea of a Providence; and as we think it false as well as dangerous, we have taken the liberty to say so.

The following letter has been addressed by the Chief Commissioner of the Poor-law Board to the various Beards of Guardians : " Poor-law Board, Whitehall, July 27, 1866. " Sir, —ln consequence of the outbreak of cholera, the Poor-law Board have already transmitted to you, for the information of the Board of Guardians, a copy of the regulations recently issued by the Lords of the Privy Council under the Diseases Pre vention Act, 1855, and the Amending Act 23d and 24th Victoria, cap. 77. " By the provisions of the 23d and 24th of Vic toria, cap. 77, section 11, the vestries and district Boards under the 18th and 19th of Victoria, cap. 120, are the authorities for carrying into execution those regulations. "But these statutes do not remove from the Boards of Guardians the responsibility which the law has imposed upon them in regard to the relief of the destitute poor. The epidemic will necessarily create much additional suffering, and may probably cause a great increase of destitution among the poorer classes in the metropolis. " The Poor-law Board are satisfied that the guar dians will not relax their exertions because the ves tries and district boards are made responsible for the performance of the duties created by these re gulations ; and that the guardians and their officers will co-operate whenever practicable with those authorities. "The guardians are fully justified in calling to their aid such medical and other assistance as in their judgment the emergency may require. They can also provide those purifying and disinfecting agents which their medical officers recommend as requisite in the dwellings of the sick poor, and such additional sustenance or clothing as the peculiar circumstances may render necessary. In all these respects the powers and obligations of the guardians remain in full force. " It is inexpedient that the accommodation to be provided for cholera patients should be in the work house or on the workhouse premises. As far as practicable, therefore, the admission of cholera patients into the workhouse should be prevented. The guardians should procure for themselves and their officers the fullest and earliest informat tion as to the arrangements made by the vestry or di s trict board, so that due notice may be given every person who may require aid from the guar dians of the arrangements applicable to the case, and how and where the requisite attention can be obtained. ig The Poor Law Board will pay immediate atten tion to any communications which the guardians may address to them, and afford them any assist ance in their power in the discharge of the duties and responsibilities imposed upon them.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, 4 4 GATIIORNE HARDY, President." e ' ,_....e,c.,.

And as " good things corrupted are the worst," so philosophers, when they are once off the poise, are apt to rush into intolerance with the fury of rene gades. Mr. Mill's late exhibitions illustrates this very provokingly. As Liberals, we regret this, be cause, whereas formerly in Mr. Mill's alliance we had the sentence of a judge in our favour, we feel that we have now, so to say, only the protestations of an advocate. But we are deeply sorry for the trans formation on other grounds too. Henceforth, when Mr. Mill writes of social or political matters even, his old admirers will read him with misgiving. What he would write would be in too flagrant con tradiction to his present practice. But, indeed, Just now the philosophical faculty has departed. He is a lost philosopher. We should like to know what Mr. Tennyson or Mr. Arthur Helps could say for him now. No doubt Mr. Mill receives large com pensation of a kind in his political importance. But what a, falling off there must be in philosophical temper if such compensation can ever be sufficient He has given up to party, and party in its pettiest sense, what was meant for mankind. All that ab straction and disinterestedness which gave him authority has vanished. He is no longer umpire, but a party to the squabble. Instead of hardly con descending laudari laudatis—instead of the cold nroud attitude which seemed to show he thought it 4. , the estimao mercenary mercenary even to accept th e esteem oX rewarded quite Mill now readily " help ded • ing to make a mOV, to his taste by a popularity seemed to him misconception, if not aatiztillve once course, Mr. Mill has not suddenly ceased to -r a a clever man, but his words now have no more than their own weight, and that weight is not always great. The false oracle is detected by the false prosody. It is not only the philosophical temper which is impaired in Mr. Mill, but the logi cal mg/may. 111-e- fallacies he-fieserbeerratttitr'ns3 exposing he now finds very handy weapons. A petitio principii is no longer the contemptible device he once pronounced it. He says, for instance, in his speech on the Hyde Park Riots, " the people were already in an excited state upon another sub ject," &c. Although not only was it not proved that 4 ' the people" were " already excited," &c., but it was pretty notorious that the " people " were so far from " excited " that those who wanted to ride them were au desespoir at not being able to spur them into anything like peace. Hence, in fact, the organisation of the Hyde Park demonstra tion altogether. Such a logical dodge, as we . must call it, as that involved in his question, " whether a meeting held in Hyde Park once in every two or three years would cause one-thousandth part of the interruption to the ordinary uses to which a park is put that is caused by a Volunteer review" would in the days of Mr. Mill's " Logic " have been shown up with the coldest scorn. But when he says that " the present Government seems determined, as far as depends on them, to frustrate the anxious desire of all'well-wishers of their country that the necessary changes in the Constitution should be made without the least alienation or ill-blood between the governing classes and the governed " he is trespassing very near the line which separates the pitiable from the culpable in false reasoning, Every one knows that the present Government is just as guilty of " frustrating " &c. (1. e., of pre serving Hyde Park as a scene of beauty and plea sure), as the late Government, and no more. If Mr. Mill desired to descend into the political arena with the originality becoming him, why did he not try candour ? Is it absolutely necessary that a man who disdains to misrepresent the opposite party be suspected by his own ? The Conservatives will probably give us plenty of ground for legiti mate censure before we have done with them : why should we discredit ourselves by ac cusing them falsely ? Oinnia dat qui fiesta negat. Mr. Mill is here depreciating himself even as partisan ; but, however efficient he may become in this capacity, we for our part shall always regret the philosopher.—Pall Mall Gazette. Organ News. (From the Musical Standard.) A new organ has just been erected by M. Ca vaille-Coll in the Ronan Catholic Church of St. L-imon btOelc,, at .ii.ensington. This, we neneve (says the London Review), is as yet the only organ in England by this maker, whose name, however, has long been celebrated even here as the' constructor of the magnificent instrument in the Madeleine at Paris, besides others in various churches of the same city and the French provinces. Our contem porary goes on to express his hope that this impor tation "will act as an incentive to English organ builders to enter into a nobler competition than that of rapidity and cheapness of production." After expressing his opinion that M. Cavaille-Coll is " perhaps the most complete and satisfactory of all organ-builders, past or present, scarcely excepting even the great Silberman," the same writer ob- serves:-- '" The organ at St. Simon Stock is not an instru ment of very great size, but it is an admirable ex emplification of those high qualities which have placed its builder at the head of his profession, and entitle him to rank as an artist rather than a mere manufacturer—in the same way as the constructors of the best old cremona violins are not to be con sidered as mere fiddle-makers, but as the producers of works of art. The organ now referred to (which is rather disadvantageously placed, out of sight, in a corner recess of the church), has two rows of keys (claviers) from C C to G (fifty-six notes) ---two and a half octaves of pedals, with four independent stops; besides many pedals of combination (composition pedals and twenty stops in application to the keys. The instrument contains one thousand four hundred and thirty-four pipes, the deepest note being that known as sixteen feet C" (C C C as the Germans would call it). The quality of tone, whether in combination or in detail, is of the highest order of beauty—the reed stops are admirable for their round, full, yet mellow quality and promptness of speech —the flute, violincello, and vox-humana stops are all remarkable for their resemblance to the originals which they profess to imitate—and the mixture stops are bright and sparkling without the least approach to harshness. In short, the organ, in its full powers, is characterised by resonance and grandeur of tone, while the soft stops in detail are extraordinary for . their delicacy and sympathetic quality. The instru ment possesses the advantage of the o p f n t e h u e m m at o ic st lever apparatus. This mechanism, one im portant n of Mr. Barke r , an improvements in the art of organ b building, din allgs modernthe Englishman ; who, rt invention once consists o n adopted s b s me i e n t v in e g io with i no recognition i n his own country, s ome years since carried hi s di s ., c covert' t a ttaching a valve, filled with wind deriv e d f rom the main reservoir, to the mechanism o f each key; and exercising at the instant of pressu re a counter acting influence so as to reli eve t h e finger of the c : Paris,oll whre.e Barker's . t player from nearly the whole l a b our which it would otherwise have to exert.. In this and in other me chanical respects, M. Cavaille-Coll's instruments are almost as admirable for their ingenious construc tion as for their musical merits." We quote the above without undertaking to en dorse the opinions of the Review's advocate of M. Cavaille-Coll. Several friends of Italy having expressed them selves ready to subscribe on behalf of the Italian wounded soldiers, the Marquis d'Azeglio states that, although he is not instructed by the Government to open a list to that effect, he shall consider it his duty to receive and forward to the central committees privately organised in Turin or Florence any sum of money or parcels destined to the wounded Italian soldiers, volunteers, or sailors. Subscrip tions and parcels will be equally received at any of the Italian consulates in the kingdom. At Darmstadt a Russian envoy has arrived with orders to look after the interests of the Grand Duke, the Czar's brother-in-law, the town being occupied by the Prussians. With him came a number of Russian gentle men, who, taking up their quarters in the houses of the aristocracy, hung out Russian flags, as so many claims to exemption from having soldiers quartered upon the pre mises. The Prussians have pot thought it worth their while to dispute the justice of the claim. entS nin The sing this Ilan ping [ling 210, )s to 363 day. .rely a' to and era- old, Bar -340 r 24 one. rket Ltity vero de- The 0 at 36 one. 68s. old rley r 3 0 one• glS hat reat nice left her [sic, de tru" Ord loy ose ent ow 01, 1.
