BURTON, when PLATED by the patent process of Messrs.

The equal division of political opinion in Ole metropolitan county, and the great importance of the constituency, ren der it an anomaly that both seats should be held by those to whose politics the term "Liberal " is applied. The spontaneous promises of support I have received from all Parties, which I regard as more due to the fact of my being so well known to most of you, than to my official or other connection with Middlesex, give me every reason to look for a triumphant result to my candidature. In. these days of transition politics, when the Tory is deaf, the Whig fast dying, and their descendants meeting way under the guise, at all events, of modified desig nations, it is as difficult to detect as to describe the actual opinions held by men either in or seeking to be in Parlia ment; but holding as I do the great principles implied under the head of " Church and State," and as a thorough believer in the policy so steadily and consistently upheld by Lord Darby; rhetlier in or out of polver, I illAraliim to Seek Your suffrages as a Constitutionalist, and one who will un flinchingly oppose those schemes of legislation which aim at Americanising our great country and people. I am wholly against a uniform lowering of the franchise ; but I should be willing to support any measure which would safely enlarge the present constituencies. The Union Chargeability Bill was a step, but only a step, in the right direction. It does not wholly satisfy me ; but I hope the time is not far distant when I may have the •pleasure of supporting a more comprehensive and popular one, which will abolish the law of settlement, and establish the system of universal rating. As a member of the Church of England, I should always regard with jealousy any legislative attempt to detract from her influence or endanger her well-being ; on these grounds, I should oppose the unconditional abolition of the church rate, but am prepared to vote for any plan which will meet the reasonable objections of our Dissenting friends to the present system. As one who has for years taken a deep interest in the defences of the country, I am in favour of the preservation in their entirety and integrity of the army, navy, militia,and volunteer forces; as I believe their continuance in numbers and efficiency is the surest safeguard we could have against a necessity for their use, and the best guarantee for up holding the dignity of England. In the administration of the army and navy, however, large annual outlays could, by improved arrangements and reformed systems, be saved, and to such measures 1 should not only give the utmost attention, but my hearty advocacy and interest. I shall take every possible opportunity between this and the d a y o f e l ect i on to make my other views known, and, as I trust, acceptable to you.

GENTLEMEN, TN compliance with the influential requisition -a..for warded to me I have much pleasure in announcing my self a candidate at the impending election for the high hon our of rep re s ent i ng you in the Commons ' House of Parlia ment. In thus placing my services at your disposal I do so as a Liberal Conservative, and am prepared to give an inde endent support to that great Conservative party to which have the honour to belong. As I propose to myself many occasions of meeting you, when I can enter more into details as to the views I enter tain than an address affords me the opportunity of doing, I will confine myself at present to the expression of my opi nions upon the leading topics of the day. First. As to that much-debited and little result question —"Reform." I find in Webster's Dictionary (I have, as a good reformer, Flu-pose - 1y discarded "Johnson," and taken the newest authority) that the word " Re form" may be- translated—" to change from bad to good ; to amend ; to repair ; to improve." In all these inter pretations, to their m os t extended sense, I am prepared to deal with' this question. I would, a s th e C onserva tive Party desi re to do, change all bad results of the existing S y s tem of representation to good results. I would "amend," i ng‘ repair," and " i mprove, " in all the fulness of their mean , the glori ous constitution under whi c h we live ; but I must .first see the bad results and experience how the im- Plevell.lents are to be effected, and then be as liberal as you constitutio 'me with there medies. But to make an alteration to that :--to lose the true liberty . which finds this country in the enjoyment of — ' 4) experimentalise as visionaries desire to do good substance whilst seeking the shadow, Lis What I never can consent to, and I much mistake your entinients if you so desire it.' That there exist abuses . our national representation no reflecting mind 1141 d eaY, and no member of the Conservative party does deny ; it only claims a careful consideration of ire remedies before it will consider them such, and once satisfied they are for the good of the country at large, and not for th e b enefit of any clique or faction, and its whole su pport will b e g i ven to the measure, no matter by whom introduced, What prospect, however, there is of the exist ing Admini stration propo s i ng a sound measure of real re nirine,n, m . aY be judged by the results of the present Parlia e press understanding x --"-•' Cle arlY, that party which obtained power upon the that they would bring in and carry :_?_?n,t,Pr:Fthensive measure of reform has been "tried" and 'raulTyLc: panting;" they have used the cry simply as a thei .e rYto power, but, once there, have ignored all r iormer zeal, and have contented themselves with the fore, supineness from thes e supi all re al reformers must deplore. I am, there in ex periences led to the conviction that it trust • t . o the Conser va tives alone that the people of England look for a well-digested voluntary scheme of reform; to ni such a urea meas I shall be prepared, and I hereby pledge myself to.give y most strenuous support. To all piece meal legislation ; to all irresponsible proposals ; to pro pols for extreme measures—such as voting by ballot, :tyluch I oppose, as doing in the dark what it ought to be the pride of the electors to do in the light ; manhood suf- Lee I, which i s i ncompatible with the balance of power of educated -and the responsible electors—all similar pro posals I shall oppose in toto. tFOREIGN Amtins.—Happily on this topic there exists heifferce of opinion amongst all thinking men, as to sound policy of no n - intervention—the dignity of the country—and indeed by this term must be included its actual safety, requires that its just influence in the world should not be lowered by interference in the affairs of foreign countries, u the thus taking such responsibility, should nless be prepared to stand by the c ourse i t advises, and not, as in the dispute in Schles wig-Holstein, threaten consequences which it either never intended to carry out, or feared the result of so doing; I feel strongly the barbarism of the appeal to arms to settle any ;differences betweenlGovernments ; it is precisely for that reason I hold that a great country like ours should never threaten this last appeal unless it is felt that no other course is open for it. I trust, however, that the ties of commerce and of common interest, as well els better knowledge of each other between the inhabitants of the various countries, which improved and more rapid com- ' munica.tion affords them, will obviate for all times that fearful appeal known as war. ARMAMENTS. —Though a lover of peace at any price, except when it lowers the honour of England, and as an earnest wisher for its permanent continuance, I hold, how ever, the doctrine that it is best secured by being at all times prepared for war. I would therefore especially have the navy, being that branch of the service most available for our protection from our insular position, the finest and largest in the world. The other arms of the service I would have also on a satisfactory footing, including the vol unteers, whose to renown abroad it is not too much to to say in quite equal that achieved at home. Subjectthe above qualification; I wish for the most rigid economy in this as in ev ery b ranch of her Majesty's service. settl e II d CRIIRC RATES. — This vexed question still remains nn that nor can this excite surprise when it is considered that the measures hitherto proposed, having abolition for their object, mean simply confiscation. Though a member possible liberty of the Church of England, I am an advocate for the largest ret . ., and should therefore be prepared to support any of conscience for every denomination or satis otrY measure having compensation in some form or personaer for the abolition of church rates, so as to relieve those rBll . who at present have to support their own places of lon hip as well as of the Church to which they do not be tia loft to this alone, I amfor the full maintenance of e A.V a v i c lcges belonging to the Church of England. 20 ear;mmercial man, having, though young, still nearly second ancxPerience of ' business life, I shall be happy to connected like yeii r i:easures of local interest a commercial borough w 17,. find from time to time necessary, 'either as gentereur present your beronien'L Finally, " staple manufactures or otherwise. yond this I have ung'' while ambitious of the honour to re- I take leave to inform you that be you as a suenessf°laPersonal object to serve; I come y o your more intimate middle-class man, one o rnimercial man—as essen m tm a lly ng aeciii Y a Lurelves . —and if, on my making ftoortune to earn the distinct' exertions on.m acquaints it should be my good ton I am se e k i ng at your . hands, y part shall be wanting to deserve it.

A Series of Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared in the " sledical Circular," with the signature of "Detector," has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet. The reader of " Punch" should read this pamphlet also. Ire has of ten read, in the pages of "Punch," of certain Quacks, frau dulent and noisome, who obtain money by false pretences. and more money by menaces and extortion, from green young men. For their names, which "Punch" would not advertise, he has referred his readers to the lower corner of tne sdvertisiwr, columns of low newspapers, amongst which too many of )Ir." Punch's" contemporaries, especially in the country, may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub lish the information that a nominal list of these miscreants. with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning them, needful to be known, will be found in the pamphlet above referred to, which is entitled " Revelations of Quacks and Quackery." and is to be had at the "Medical Circular" Office, 20, King William-street, Strand, W.O The vile practices, the monstrous impudence, the cruel rapacity, and the enormous gains of the obscene tribe of Quacks, the mischief they do, the ruin they work, even to the causation of suicide, are fully set forth in " Revelations of Quacks it.cl Qackery." And mark especially that, as aforesaid, the names of the Quacks are published. The pamphlet in question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di rectory, con-ulting which every young man may know where be may go if he wi,hes to get plundered and deal roved.

CHANDLER, SURGICAL MECHANICIAN, 66, erners-street, Oxford-street, London, W. The Cessation of the American War. The following.correspondence has been presented to Parliament by command of her Majesty : No. 1. EARL RUSSELL TO Sat F. BRUCE. Foreign-office, June 2, 1865. Sir,—l received 'on the 25th ult. y.ur despatch of the 10th ult., enclosing a copy, taken from a newspaper, of a procla mation issued by the President of the United States on that day, declaring among other matters that " armed resistance to the authority of this Government," namely, the Govern ment of the United States, "may bo regarded as virtually at an end ; and the persons by whom that resistance as well as the operations of insurgent cruisers were directed are fugitives or captives." On the day following the receipt of the despatch intelli gence reached this country of the capture of President Davis by the military forces of the United States. In this state of things her Majesty's Government lost no time in communicating:with the Government of the Em peror of the French as to the course which should be pur sued by the two Governments ; and while those communi cations were in progress, I received officially from Mr. Adams, on the 30th ult., a copy of the President's procla mation of the 10th. It would, indeed, have been more satisfactory if the Go vernment of the United States had accompanied the com munication of the President's proclamation with a declara tion that they formally renounced tho exercise as regards neutrals of the rights of a belligerent ; but her Majesty's Government considered that, in the existing posture of affairs, the delay of any formal renunciation to that effect did not afford to neutral powers sufficient warrant for con tinuing to admit the possession of a belligerent character by a Confederation of States which had been actually dissolved. The late President of the so-called Confederate States has been captured and transported as a prisoner to Fort Monroe; the armies hitherto kept in the field by the Confederate States have, for the most part, surrendered or dispersed; and to continue to recognise those States as belligerents would not only bo inconsistent with the actual condition of affairs, but might lead to much embarrassment and com plication in the relations between neutral Powers and the Government of the United States. Her Majesty's Government have accordingly, after com munication with the Government of the Emperor of the French, determined to consider the war which bas lately pre vailed between the United States and the so-called Con federate States of North America to have ceased de facto; and, on that ground, they recognise the re-establishment of peace within the whole territory of which the United States, before the commencement of the civil war, wore in undis turbed possession. As a necessary consequence of this recognition, her Ma jesty's Government forthwith send to her Majesty's autho rities in all ports, harbours, and waters belonging to her Majesty, whether in the United Kingdom or beyond the seas, orders henceforth to refuse admission into any such ports, harbours, and waters, of any vessel of war carrying a Confederate flag, and to require any Confederate vessels of war which, at the time that the orders may be received by her Majesty's authorities, may have already entered such ports, harbours, and waters, on the faith of proclamations heretofore issued by her Majesty, and which, having com plied with the provisions of such proclamations, may be actually within such ports, harbours, and waters, forthwith to depart from the same. But in adopting this decision as regards Confederate vessels of war found within British ports, harbours, and waters, when the orders are received by her Majesty's autho rities, her Majesq 's Government consider that a due regard for national good faith and honour requires that her Ma jesty's authorities should be instructed that any Confede rate vessels of war so required to depart should, on their departure, have the benefit of the prohibition heretofore enforced against their being pursued within 24 hours by a cruiser of the United States lying at the time within the same port, harbour, and waters, and that such prohibition should be then and for the last time maintained in favour of such Confederate vessels of war. Her Majesty's Government cannot anticipate any objection being made by the Government of the United States to this reserve, when the ground on which it is adopted is ex plained to that Government. Her Majesty's Government have, however, thought it right to provide for the contingency of the commander of any Confederate vessel of war which may be found in any port, harbour, or waters of her Majesty's dominions at the time when these new orders are received by her Majesty's authorities, or may enter such, port, harbour, or waters, within a month after these new orders are received, desiring to divest his vessel of her warlike character, and to assume the flag of any nation recognised by her Majesty's Govern ment as in a state of peace with her Majesty; and in such a case her Majesty's authorities will be authorised to allow the commander of the vessel to do so, and after disarming her, to remain without a Confederate flag within British waters at his own risk in all respects; in which case such commander will be distinctly apprised that ho is to expect no further protection from her Majesty's Government, except such as he may be entitled to in the ordinary course of the administration of the law in time of peace. The rule as to 24 hours would not be applicable to the case of such vessel. I have to instruct you to lose no time in making known to the Government of the United State; by communicating to the Secretary of State a copy of this despatch, the course of action on which her Majesty's Government have decided, and which they doubt not will be agreeable to the Govern ment of the United States. But in making this communi cation to the Secretary of State, you will add that her Majesty's Government have adopted this course under the full persuasion that the Government of the United States will, on their part, at once desist from exercising towards neutrals the rights of blockade, and of search and detention of neutral vessels on the high seas, which can be lawfully exercised by belligerents alone, and which a Power not en gaged in warfare cannot under the law of nations assume to exercise.—l am, &c., (Signed) RUSSELL. No. 2. SIR F. BRUCE TO EARL RUSSELL.—(Received July 3.) Washington, June 19, 1865. My Lord,—ln accordance with the instructions contained in your lordship's despatch of the 2d inst., I left a copy of that despatch with Mr. Hunter, Acting Secretary of State, and have now the honour to inclose a copy of Mr. Seward's reply just received.—l have, &c., (Signed) FREDERICK W. A. BRUCE. (Inclosure in No. 2.) MR. SEWARD TO SIR P. BRUCE. Washington, June 19, 1865. 8 has been given t o a despatch which irDD Earl epu aletm consideratione Russell nt o a addressed State, Ires se d to you on the 2d of June inst. and of which, on the 14th instant, you were so kind as to leave a copy at this department. The President is gratified by the information which that paper contains, to the effect that her Majesty's Government have determined to consider the war which has lately prevailed between the United States and the insurgents of this country to have ceased de facto, and that her Majesty's Government now recognise the re-establishment of peace within the whole territory, of which the United States were in undisturbed possession at the beginning of the civil war. The President is also gratified to learn from Earl Russell's despatch that her Majesty's Government will forthwith send to her Majesty's authorities in all ports, harbours, and waters belonging to her Majesty, whether within the United Kingdom or beyond the seas, orders henceforth to refuse The correspondence which took place between this Go vernment and that of her Majesty at an early stage of the insurrection shows that the United States deemed tho for mation of a mutual engagement by Great Britain with France, that those two Powers would act in concert in regard to the said insurrection, to be an unfriendly pro ceeding, and that the United States therefore declined to receive from either of those Powers any communication which avowed the existence of such an arrangement. I have therefore now to regret that Earl Russell has thought it necessary to inform this Government that her Majesty's Government have found it expedient to consult with the Government of France upon the question whether her Ma jesty's Government will now recognise the restoration of peace in the United States. It is a further source of regret that her Majesty's Go vernment avow that they will still continue to consider that any United States' cruiser, which shall hereafter be lying in a British port, harbour, or waters, shall be .do tained 24 hours, so as to afford an opportunity for an in surgent vessel, then actually being within the said port, harbour, or waters, to gain the advantage of the same time for her departure from the same port, harbour or waters. It is further source of regret that her Majesty's Govern ment have deemed it proper to make the additional reserva tion in favour of insurgent vessels of war, that for the period of a whole month which shall elapse after the new orders now to be issued by her Majesty's Government shall have been received by the said authorities, any insurgent vessel which may be found in or which may enter any port, harbour or waters of her Majesty's dominions, and which may desire to divest itself of its warlike character, and to assumo the flag of any nation recognised by her Majesty's Government with which her Majesty is at peace, will be allowed to do so ; and further, that such vessels, after dis arming themselves, will be permitted to remain in such port, harbour, or waters without an insurgent flag, although the 24 hours' rule will not be applicable to the cases of such vessels. Far from being able to admit the legality or justice of the instructions thus made, it is my duty to inform your Excellency that, in the first place, the United States can not assent to an abridgment of reciprocal hospitalities be tween the public vessels of the United States and those of Great Britain. So long as her Majesty's Government shall insist upon enforcing the twenty-four hours' rule before mentioned of which the United States have so long, a n d, as they think, so justly complained, the United States must apply the same rule to public vessels of Great Britain. Again, it is my duty further to state that the United States cannot admit, and, on the contrary, they controvert and protest against the decision of the British Government, which would allow vessels of war of insurgents or pirates to enter or to leave British ports, whether for disarmament or otherwise, or for assuming a foreign flag or otherwise. As to all insurgent or piratical vessels found in ports, harbours, or waters of British dominions, whether they entered into such ports, harbours, or waters before or after any new orders of her Majesty's Government may be received by any authority of her Maje'sty's Government established there, this Government maintains and insists that such vessels are forfeited to and ought to be delivered to the United States upon reasonable application in such cases made, and that if captured at sea under whatever flag by a naval force of the United States, such capture will be lawful. Notwithstanding,ho wever, the exceptions and reservatiOn s which have been made by her Majesty's Government, and which have been herein considered, the United States accept with pleasure the declaration by which her Majesty's Govern ment have withdrawn their former concession of a bellige rent character to the insurgents ; and this Government fur ther freely admits that the normal relations between the two countries being practically restored to the condition in which they stood before the civil war, the right to search British vessels has come to an end by an arrangement satis facto'ry in every material respect between the two nations. It will be a source of satisfaction to this Government to know that her Majesty's Government have considered the views herein presented in a spirit favourable to the estab lishment of a lasting and intimate friendship — between tho two nations.—l have, &c., (Signed) WILLIAM IL SEWARD. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET JULY MEETING. There was a meagre card and very little to interest this afternoon. Two matches and five races occupied a couple of hours or so pleasantly enough with no great amount of excitement to render the heat disagreeable. In a field of 15 for the Handicap Plate two favourites suffered defeat from Oberon, whom Loates brought out at the dip and won by three-quarters of a length. The fielders had another good turn in the Beaufort Stakes, which Fan tail, almost unbacked, won in a common canter. The day indeed was disastrous to the gentlemen, as, with the excep tion of Attache in the Town Plate, they did not pull off a single coup. The worst blow of all was the overthrow of Robin Hood in the Exeter Stakes. The money was put down in handfuls, and Lord Portsmouth's colt, who is a slow beginner, and consequently not good at a short dis tance, was beaten after a fine race by Mr. Pitt, whom the Duke of Beaufort only made up his mind to start at the last moment on the off chance. His Grace, however, backed him with his characteristic spirit, and was loudly cheered by the Ring on his success. Curiously enough, neither first nor second are in the. Derby.

Rejection lying in the centre was the first away, having Sister Mary, Jupon, Principal, Pupil, and Oberon as his immediate attendants, the others, who were headed by Real Jam, Knight of the Whistle, and Ethel, being close intheir wake. They retained these positionsinto the cords, where Lord Stamford's filly gave way, leaving Jupon in advalce, but who was shortly after headed by Oberon, who won rather cleverly at last by three parts of a length ; a bad third, Rejection was fourth, Principal fifth, Regina sixth.

They left the post in close company, and ran so for aquar ter of a mile, when the running was taken up by Privateer, who carried it to the Plantation turn, where he gave way to Grace Darling, The Monk, and the favourite, who came on together into the bottom,where Fantail came up on their left, and half-way up the hill dispossessed Grace Darling of her lead, and won very easily by throe lengths ; a like dis tance separated the second and third.

The last number of the Archives for the History of Saxony contains an extremely important article, showing that the document hitherto believed to be Petcr the Great's political testament, and which con tains a plan for the subjugation of Europe, and notably for the partition of Poland, is not genuine. The author of the article, Count C F. Vitzbum of Eckstadt, proves from reports of Herr von Pezold, Saxon Minister at St. Petersburg in 1747, that Peter the Great really did leave a political testament, but that its contents are diametrically opposite to those of the document hitlferto putforward as the true will. From the diplomatic reports of Herr von Pezold, now first discovered, it appears that when Russia was upon the point of declaring war against Tur key in 1737, a Privy Council, presided over by the Empress Anna, was held at St. Petersburg. Upon this occasion Baron Schaffirow, formerly a most con fidential adviser of the Czar, alluded to certain poli tical instructions left by the Emperor for his succes sors. The Empress then recollected that a small casket, containing papers, had been handed to her after the Czar's death by Makarow, his secretary, which she had hitherto laid aside. The box was opened, and Count Biron, the Empress's favourite, then present, communicated its contents confiden tially to the Saxon Minister. Herr von Pezold im mediately forwarded a report upon the subject to the Saxon Government. Count Vitzhum d'Eck stadt has recently been fortunate enough to discover this report in the Saxon Record Office at Dresden, and publishes very important extracts from it in the above magazine. The following are the maxims of Peter the Great on the policy to be pursued by Russia towards Poland, and which are in direct contradiction with Article IV. of the apocryphal last will, recommend ing the partition of that kingdom : " Perfectly good friendship must at all times be I kept up in Russia with Poland, and no opportunity be looked upon as so favourable as to want to gain something fresh at her loss and damage. For as the latter is a large, favoured, and well-peopled country, we must the more avoid driving her to desperation by any sort of oppression, and thereby letting her know her force, because Russia on the other hand is not so populated, but is just as much exposed as Poland. " It must, therefore, be considered that owing to the interest other puissances would take in the con servation of the Poles, she herself, in case of neces sity, would never fail the allies ; but that rather the Turks, Tartars, and Swedes would stand ready to give help, and it would be just as easy for the for mer, if obtaining free and assisted passage through- Poland, to fall upon Russia with effect, as it would otherwise be difficult. " Russia has, therefore, only to take care that Poland remains in her present shape, and the means to that end are mainly these :---Followers of the Greek creed in that country are not to be oppressed; the augmentation of the regular army is most care fully to be avoided ; and by the grant of certain pensions among the magnates, to have at all times a hold upon some of the cleverest and most respected, in order, with their help, to be able to advance or counteract, as may be desired, any matter at the. Diets. " Further, Russia must establish a close and secret understanding with the King of Poland, especially in his quality of Elector of Saxony. In this last quality she owes to the same the preservation of her Crown, as had not the Saxons advanced before Riga after the action at Narva, which terminated so disastrously to Russia, thereby causing the Swedish armies to move thither, and divert the whole theetrum belli to Poland, all ways of recovering her self would have been cut off. " It is now seen that the King of Prussia con stantly lays by more money and collects troops. As now the King of Poland, especially as Elector, has one and the same interest with Russia to keep a watchful eye upon this neighbour, whose alliance experience has shown cannot be trusted—and to prevent the same making any new conquests, in order therefore to anticipate the same, and in sud den cases to be able reciprocally to give each other aid, no better and safer means can be found than to remain at all times in alliance and understanding with the Electoral House of Saxony." M. Sarcey, in the theatrical feuilletOn of the Opinion Nationale, gives a melancholy account of the position of the musicians at the Thatre Francais. lie affirms that they receive only from 30 to 40 sous per night, or barely 7 sous eagh hour. The conductor of the orchestra, for a fixed yearly sum, furnishes so many musicians, and in orper to make as much profit as possible, pay almost nothing. - -- - Rouse of of George Routledge and Co. - '.----- ---; . • ) The change that takes place to-day in `the eonstitirtion'of this firm will naturally attract much attention, - and May •' of our readers will therefore be glad to - tarie souinparda- ..). lars respecting the rise and growth of the. hese—apousa - to which more than t o any ot h er i s due the entire clang© of business which the last quarter of a century has wit nessed. Mr. Routledge, like many other notable men of the time, owes his position as an opulent, honourable man of business, not to adventitious aid, but to that best source of reliance for success in the battle of life to all pos sessed of energy and perseverance—self-help. He is a native of Cumberland : and after serving an apprenticeship to Mr. Thurnam, of Carlisle, came up to London in the year 1833, when he procured employment in the house of Messrs. Baldwin and Cradock, of Paternoster-row. But ere long he quitted this to start in the bookselling busi ness, in a very small way, in Ryder's-court, Leicester square. Finding that he had much leisure time on his hands, he sought for, and obtained, a subordinate position in the Tithe-office, Somerset-house, the duties of which were light, while the emolument opportunely enabled him to turn his savings to account in increasing his business. From this starting-point, his sagacity and foresight in duced him to become the purchaser of remainders of modern books, the sale of which at the original prices had ceased. The success that attended his first ventures stimu lated him to more strenuous endeavours to develops into activity a principle in the bookselling trade that had hitherto been comparatively dormant—that of creating an ostensive and permanent market for works of a kind likely to prove popular, by issuing them at prices that would place them within the reach of all—prices so low as to have appeared to the trade generally, at the time, ab surd, in view of any profitable result. Indeed, Mr. Rout ledge's first efforts in this direction were far from being favourably received by the London booksellers, who re garded him in the light of an innovator. But his views reached farther than the limits of their forecast or influ ence. He had, while on two or three experimental journeys, made during the holiday time granted him when in the Tithe-office, not failed to notice that the resources of the country bookselling trade were allowed to remain inert ; that there was, consequently, a wide field open to any en terprising spirit who would undertake the herculean task of developing them. Resolving to follow up this idea to its fullest practicable extent, he resigned his official appointment that he might devote his attention exclu sively to his own business ; and being fortunate in the selection of booksthat then formed the nucleus of his stock of cheap literature, he went to work in earnest to create a machinery throughout the kingdom, by the establishment of efficient agents, on whose co-operation with his own efforts he could rely, that would have the effect of giving the widest possible circulation to his publications. The creation of this machinery eventually led to the issue by Messrs. Routledge of the various popular series known as " The Railway Library, " The Popular Library," and similar collections, comprising many hundred volumes of standard works. It may not be out of place to note here that, among the authors whose works were first intro duced into the cheap series, at the then almost unprece dentedly low price of one shilling fora complete work,were the late Fenimore Cooper, Captain Marryat, and Wash ington Irving. "Uncle Tom's Cabin," which soon after followed, was a still greater success, about half a million of copies having been sold. Mr. Routledge commenced his brilliant career in Ryder's Court, September, 1836, with one assistant, his brother-in-law, the late Mr. Wm. Henry Warne, then a youth of fifteen ; but before long the business increased so much that larger premises were necessary ; and in 1845 it was removed to 36, Soho-square. More attention was now given to the purchase of good remainders, and a little pub lishing entered upon, one of the earliest of the larger ven tures being the " Notes on the Old and New Testament," by Albert Barnes, a popular American author. In 1848 Mr. William Warne was taken into partnership, and in that year was commenced the Railway Library, of which a volume was published monthly until the series now numbers nearly 400 volumes. In 1851 Mr. Routledge took his brother-in-law, Mr. Frederick Warne into partner ship, and at the end of the same year removed to Farring• don-street. Up to this period Messrs. Routledge had confined them selves chiefly to the re-issue of standard works by British and American authors, but now they began to compete with the principal publishers in direct dealings with many of the most eminent authors of the day. Conspicuous among transactions of this kind was the bold (and by many deemed Quixotic) venture of purchasing in Decem ber, 1853, from Sir E. Bulwer Lytton, for the enormous price of £20,000, the limited right of issuing a cheap series of his works for the term of ten years—an enormous price, indeed, when it is borne in mind that the works in ques tion had for most part been for a long time widely circu lated by different publishers in various forms, and more recently also at low prices. There can be no doubt, how ever, that it was a masterly move on the part of the saga cious publishers ; and that it really answered the purpose intended by them is clearly proved by their having re newed the contract for a further term of years. Through their association with the great literary baronet, by the acquisition of the privilege of publishing this popular edi tion of his works, Messrs. Routledge obtained a prestige which has ever since stood them in good stead. Arrange ments of a similar kind with authors scarcely less popular —Mr. Disraeli, Mr. W. 11. Ainsworth, Howard Russell, G. P. R. James, &c.-quickly followed, to say nothing of the publication of original works by Grant, Mayne Reid, Longfellow, Prescott, and other eminent authors. Among many other claims to honourable mention, the liberal spirit in which Messrs. Routledge have embarked on the publication of various editions of the works of our greatest poet deserves special notice. Foremost amongst these is the renowed "Pictorial Shakspere," originally published by Mr. Charles Knight, and which is now being thoroughly revised by that accomplished editor, and re issued in a serial form ; next in importance Is the edition prepared by Howard Staunton, who received for his lite rary labours the very large sum of £l,OOO. Messrs. Rout lodge are also the proprietors of Hazlitt's, Thomas Camp bell's, and other editions of Shakspere. Nor has the publishing career of this remarkable house been less conspicuous for the liberal encouragement it has given to natural talent in art, having expended vast sums in the production of such costly works as " Wood's Na tural History," (3 vols. imp. 8vo), " Routledge's Illustrated Shakspere," edited by Staunton (3 vols. imp. 8vo), &c. ; besides various highly embellished gift-books, such as the " Illustrated Edition of Longfellow's Poems," " Poets of the Nineteenth Century," " English Sacred Poetry." g The Home Affections," "Montgomery's Poems," " Eliza. Cook's Poems," " Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress," " Words worth's Poems," " Robinson Crusoe," " Birket Foster's English Scenery," &c. &c. Many of these works contain some of the best pictorial illustrations of this eminently prolific age in that branch of art, in designs by Birket Foster, Milais, Watson, Gilbert, Holman Hunt, Harvey, Pickersgill, Tenniel, Weir, Wolf, Clayton, Godwin, Cor bould, Duncan, Dodgson, Read, &c. How extensive have been the transactions of the firm of Routledge and Co. in this department of their business is best shown by the fact that they have paid to one house alone, eminent for furnishing woodcuts, Messrs. Dalziel Brothers, upwards of £50,000. Of Longfellow's Poems, the first of the magnificent series of illustrated quartos, nearly 12,000 copies have been sold, a fact which the author will be de lighted to hear, and at the same time it is one that will make him and every lover of justice regret that in conse quence of the want of a reciprocity treaty, no portion of the profit should have reached the pocket of one to whom it was so justly due. Truly marvellous has been the sale of many of Messrs. Routledge's publications; and if we had not obtained our information from trustworthy sources, the numbers would hate appeared almost incredible. Of Russell's " Narrative of the Crimean War," more than 20,000, of " Soyer's Shil ling Cookery," more than 250,000, of Rarey on " Horse Training," more than 150,000 copies were sold in a very few weeks. A specimen of Messrs. Routledge's energy was displayed in the production of " Queechy," the copy for which was placed in the printer's hands one Monday morn ing, the sheets at the binders on Thursday, and 20,000 copies disposed of and sent out to the trade by the following Monday. In further proof of Mr. Routledge's energy and enter prise, we must not omit to mention that, in the year 1854, he paid a visit to the United States, and there established abranch of his business in New York,which is still carried on, and to which books to the value of £B,OOO were for warded in one year. On the 9th of November, 1858, he took into partnership his eldest son, Mr. Robert W. Rout ledge, when the firm, previously styled George Routledge and Co., became Routledge, Warne, and Routledge ; but it did not so continue long, Mr. Wm. Warne dying in the following May. Mr. Frederick Warne having now, on the termination of the partnership, left to establish a fresh business for himself in Bedford-street, Covent-garden, Mr. Edmund Routledge enters the firm; and the style is ac cordingly changed to George Routledge and Sons. It would occupy too much of our space were we to go more into particu la rs, but much that is of interest remains to be said on some future occasion: we, however, should remark that all has not been sunshine during the 30 years Mr. Routledge has carried on the business, l e gal storms having occasionally disturbed tho ordinary c.alint•hOef thesethe most notable have been the case inv olv i ng andmias copy rights of Washington Irving, Fenimore C beenCumAo rll,suwpopenpsebedli believe have Cumming g co n nection thislas w t is it b no t t h s e et i t i l s o h d. ts, alien authors.

A ANOMALY OF TIIE BRITISH CONSTITUTION.---. Strange things occasionally happen under the British Con stitution. Within the last fow days its operation led to an occurrence of a very curious incident. About midnight on Monday the Attorney-General of England was speaking 11 defence of a person on his trial before the House of Com mons and subsequently condemned by a vote of that house. On the following evening, at 4 o'clock, the same Attorney- General was addressing in the House of Lords, as the supreme judge in that house, the person whom he defended in the House of Commons on the previous night. If such ' a thing happened in the United States of America what 4 shout ridicule would be raised against Republican insti tutions'. ick lor- ing san can- lison ,gall- fields, de of 1, St. Hon. ~~
