It is said with truth that "It is never too late to mend," and the axiom is so sound in principle, and so beneficial in practice, that we should be reluctant to disparage it. At the same time there is another side to the question, not less true, though far less pleasant, and it is one too apt to be forgotten by men who are naturally anxious to escape from the consequences of their own errors. It is never too late for the individual to mend, but it is often too late for any exertion or repentance to undo the ill effects of his neglect or his malpractices. The injuries inflicted, the sufferings occasioned by his recklessness or his indifference may be life long and the innocent may have to share the punish ment of the guilty in enduring them. This is a fact which is very apt to be overlooked or put aside, for it is. an unwelcome one. It seems hard when a man is doing his best that he is to be tor mented through life by the spectres of his past errors, but NEMESIS is pitiless, and will listen to no appeal. The same truth in a larger and some what different sense applies to Governments as to individuals. We may charitably give the blame of most of the painful cases Of neglect, or delay, or injustice, of which we occa '9i"allY liear, rather to the cumbrous and irrespon sible nature of an involved and complex system than to the heads Nevertheless, or subordinates of any depart ment.there are sometimes instances so shocking of men who have toiled for the public service reaping no re ward of their just and honour able labours, that it would be a comfort if we could believe that the cheerful aria consolatory doctrine of its being never too late to mend could be a ppli e d unre servedly. But this is not possible, someri Governments, lik e individuals, have to learn sometimes their e es that th e i r will is not the unive rsal l aw , andt l l i i e a n t ll e . a on o tr i hand than their s controls the conseci ac tions. England has now to deplore the loss of a man whose genius and whose industry have rendered her most efficient service, have been the mean s of economising her national expenditure by an immense amount, and, better still, in a time of critical diplo macy and unscrupulous aggression, of arming her with an effectual weapon of defence, and equipping her to face the most powerful of her possible antagonists without risk as without hesita tation. The loss of such a man, with his powers still vigorous and his mind yet capable of further invention and improvement, would be an event to be deplored even had he gone to the grave full of years and honours. But what shall we say when his death finds him still in patient expectancy of receiving what was his actual due, not from the generosity, but from the justice of his country, when the last years of his life were spent in weary contest with officials in all the tedious round of ap peal and representation and argument, to be met with delays and examinations and reductions till the hope deferred not only made the heart sick, but weakened the bodily health, and disease and dis ' appointment and exhaustion found no strength to resist them. Yet such has been the case. Mr. .;ID ER is dead. The mournful anticipations which were felt at the time when we last wrote on this subject have been too surely realised, and yes terday the band of Death wrote finis to the long, sad story of an Englishman's exertions and his country's ingratitude. The facts of the case are well known to the public, and there is good reason to believe that the present Government, if Mr. SNIDER'S life had been spared, would have endeavoured to atone for the neglect of their predecessors, and that even now a liberal remuneration will be given to his survivors, yet the story is a most painful one. It would always have been so, but especially in a year when the startling events on the Continent created so much unea siness respecting our national arm of defence, and when so much relief was given to the public mind by the announcement of the successful working of Mr. SNIDER'S invention. Time as well as money was saved ty the speedy conversion of the Enfield rifle, and its acknowledged superiority to other breech loaders was so manifest that the new Adminis tration obtained great credit for largely increasing the orders given. As we have said, we believe the present Government are anxious to do justice to Mr SNIDER'S claims. Mr. COLBORNE, solicitor for one of the trustees of the SNIDER gun, writes to a contem porary to say that he has been in correspondence with the War Department on the subject for the last two months, and that yesterday Col. RODEN had an interview with General PEEL, and that there is every reason to believe the question will be set tled before the end of the week. Neither party was then aware that one whose claims will not be post poned for the convenience of any department had anticipated their deliberations, but no doubt now we shall hear of a liberal provision for Mr. SNIDER'S relatives. ROMER was not the only great man de spised in life and honoured after death. The bio graphy of the luminaries of science, of poetry, of art, of philosophy, aye, even of politics themselves, repeat the same old story. Influential mediocrity pushes to the point and keeps it. Genius may stand without the ranks and cry for admission in vain. It is something, indeed, that Mr. SNIDER should have got a hearing for his invention at all. It would have been more in accordance with our usual English fashion if the scheme had been laid aside, and the inventor told it was under consideration, and by and bye the best parts of it had been picked out and amalgamated with some other adaptation under another name. Perhaps the triumph of success atoned in some measure to the man of genius for the personal disappointment and discomfiture; but human nature is but human after all, and however enthusiastic a man may be for his cause, when stricken low by paralysis and tormented by pressing cares, the word fame has but an empty sound. We would not attribute to any English gentle man, from the head of the War-office to the lowest of his subordinates, an intention of withholding from a man his due, but there has certainly been displayed in the case of Mr. SNIDER a meanness, an illiberality, nay, more, an injustice which reflects deep discredit on the whole system of our English administration. When the late Minister for War was taking credit to himself and his department for giving orders for the conversion of the Enfield guns amid the cheers of the House, he forgot to inform the honourable members that the official solicitor had beaten down the inventor's very moderate claim to nearly two-thirds. Yet perhaps this fact may be remembered when the name of Lord HARTJ NGTON is forgotten. It is the old truism which instigated the celebrated comparison between the poet and the divine— "His treasures live like thine, Re strives and dies like thee ;" and until a very different system takes the place of routine and red-tape, we fear Mr. SNIDER'S will not be the last name at which England will have to blush, although she should be justly proud to claim it as her own. A letter in the Standard of to-day calls attention to some circumstances connected with the proceed ings of the Jamaica Committee, and allude more especially to the astounding intelligence that " the Jamaica Committee have issued a circular asking for £lO,OOO to promote the criminal prosecution of Governor EYRE." Under the impression that some excellent person may be found among those who have lent themselves to this movement, the writer very wisely seeks to show the evils which may accrue from their proceedings to those con cerned in the affair, and the effect that may be pro duced upon the negroes of Jamaica, who are already \in a state of e xc it emen t . I t i s diffi cu lt i n d ee d for those who know anything of the blacks to think any statement overrated which sets forth the mis chief that may be wrought among these ignorant and infatuated ; creat ures b y the ill-timed move ments of those who call themselves their friends. We do not believe that the members of the Com mittee have at all considered the matter in this light, but that does not at all ex cuse them, because they are bound to consider the consequences of these strange and violent pro ceedings, and they have no right to plead igno rance or inexperience when they assume so much knowledge to themselves. Not that they seem at all inclined to make excuses or to expect others to do so either. On the contrary, those who have taken the lead in this affair have gone out of their way to express themselves in the most positive manner and in the most vehement language. There is good ground, however, for. hoping that some effect may be produced on those who have unwittingly joined, or are thinking of joining, this affair. Let them pause and consider what they are driving at, and what will be the consequences of the proceedings in which they are about to engage. Audi alteram partem is a very wise motto, but it is well known that it is one the efficacy of which Mr. BRIGHT alto gether denies, if he is not indeed directly opposed to it, and those who follow suit to him in the Jamaica business are often counterparts of his prejudices and one-sidedness. It remains, then, for those whom they seek to influence or hope to impress to take courage, and to judge for themselves as to the exact nature of this extraordinary prosecution. As it is ably set forth in this letter, if the committee succeed in getting together the large sum required, and con tinue their plans, the negroes in Jamaica will be sure to became dreadfully excited, and from the departure of the witnesses until the close of the trial there will be nothing but commotion. "It were well therefore that this proceeding be more calmly deliberated upon before the inquiry be fur ther agitated. A single speech may again excite the smouldering pile of disaffec- tion, which, if once relighted, it may Y be utterly beyond the power of luau to i IHE SUN, LO I ON, FRIDA Y E V ENING, OCTOBER 26, 1866 quenc li., at least until the last hopes of the colonists shall I; ave been convinced by a pseudo philan- thropy ." Nol we may fairly ask, if it be not very culpable on the part of those who form this committee thus to influence and agitate the negroes at a time when, of all others, they should be left without any dis turbing influences ? How can they be led to take 'a right view of the late outbreak, and to become more satisfied with their condition, while they are kept in a perpetual excitement as to the state of things, 'in England, and are taught that they have been ill-used and injured? A more ill-advised seherw: than that organised by the committee could not ha we been suggested, and it is to be hoped that they 1% ill pause in time before they commit them selres to such a disgraceful act irretrievably. At any rate, as the letter above referred to states em phatically, the responsibility will fall upon them, and. if Jamaica become a second Domingo the Jamaica committee will be to blame. The principal points of the Treaty of Peace be tween Prussia and Saxony are now before us, and it must be admitted that they are about as bad as could be, unless Saxony was altogether to become a Prussian Province. If the French EMPEROR had not predetermined, in the most most positive man ner, that he would not go to war with Prussia just now, there would be ample cause for provocation found in the scandalous way in which his expressed wishes have been disregarded in respect to Saxony. We never expected that Austria would obtain much attention ; but it was not unreasonable to look for some regard when the French EMPEROR had urged the advisability of retaining the integrity of Saxony. It would seem as ii the spirit of malig nant cunning had taken possession of BISMARCK when he made these terms ; and, indeed, we may say the same thing almost of all the other stipula tions he has taken part in of late. We do not see how any integrity or independence is left to the unfortunate little kingdom, and, on the contrary, there is much to regret and deplore in the ruin thus entailed upon it. The Saxon army will be reorganised according to arrangements made by the North Ger man Confederation. Mixed garrisons will be placed in Dresden and Konigstein, and the Prussians will put garrisons into the other towns until the army shall have been organised. The war indemnity to be paid is fixed at ten million thalers, of which one million wiil be deducted, because of the cession to Prussia of the railways of Laban and Gorlitz. Here again is a serious loss ; and when we take into account the further intimation that Prussia is to obtain exclusive possession of the Saxon telegraphic wires, we may realise to the full extent the way in which the Saxons have been circumvented by their ruthless eagerness and their wily director, Count BISMARCK. The Saxon troops that are now about to return home will be placed under the com mand of the chief Prussian General in Saxony, and altogether there is little difference in the fate of Saxony from that of Hanover and some others. The North German Confederation is a fine sounding name for a Convention of Prussian moneyocracy, and those who may be expecting very beneficial results to ensue from its establishment will be cer tain to meet with disappointment, for it is founded on injustice, and no liberty of choice is allowed to those most immediately concerned in the matter, and most seriously affected by the comprehensive , changes wrought. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Thursday Evening. The Gazette de Venise of Saturday last contains the official documents and speeches made on the formal surrender of Venice and Venetia by France to Italy. The first place, giving up " the strong place of Venice," is signed by General Lebceuf on the part of France, and on the part of Italy by the following members of the Municipality of the Place of Venice, acting as assessors :—Mercantonis Gas pari, Giovanni Pietro Count Grimani, Antonio Count Guistiniani Recanati. "On the delivery of Venetia General Lebceuf made a speech, in the course of which he said that the Emperor Napoleon had made known the rea sons why be had accepted Venetia in a letter to the King of Italy, dated Aug. 11. (The contents of this letter are well known, as its publication at the time excited great sensation. His Majesty, it will be recollected, said that ' he accepted the offer of Venetia to preserve her from all devastation, and to prevent the effusion of blood.') The General proceeded to say : " Gentlemen, the Emperor has for a long time known the aspirations of your country. His Ma jesty knows that it desires to be united to the States of King Victor Emmanuel, with whom the Emperor formerly fought for the enfranchisement of Italy. But from respect for the rights of nationalities, and for the dignity of peoples, the Emperor desired to leave to the Venetians the task of manifesting their wishes. " They are worthy of understanding this homage rendered to popular Sovereignty, upon which are based the Governments of France and Italy. The Emperor thus proves once more his respect for the principles which he has always made it a point of honour to defend, and for the feelings of friendship of which he has given such reiterated proofs to the whole peninsular. " His Majesty is happy to have seconded, by the efforts of his policy, the patriotism and the courage of the Italian nation." Count Michiel, in the name of the members of the commission, replied in Italian in the following terms : " When in 1859 the allied armies triumphed in Lombardy over our oppressors, we thought, at the cry of " From the Alps to the Adriatic," that our safety was insured. The icy hand of diplomacy wrested this certainty from us. But that hand could not subjugate the heart-beatings of that people, who redoubled their sacrifices, confident in its future, which was the future of Italy, nor could it turn its powerful ally from his purpose of co-operating in the deliverance of those who had shown themselves worthy hne o gi m f ewn i o t eou . rrsokuso allyWe,f and with us all Venetians, vene rate bolfb Providence, bodu r w asb well-belovedandei bg we shed e K t ihnagon, on the the thhoe, battle-fields, by his powerful mediation, accelerated the moment of our independence and the union of the kingdom." General Leboauf then, after recapitulating the official terms of the documents of surrender, said:— " We declare that we remit Venetia to herself, in order that the populations, masters of their destinies, may freely express by universal suffrage their wishes respecting the annexation of Venetia to the kingdom of Italy." Count Michiel, in the name of the commission, gave a formal acknowledgment in writing to M. Lebceuf of the surrender of Venetia by the Emperor Napoleon. The Gazette Officielle of Italy gives the following particulars respecting the plebiscite of union of the Venetian provinces up to the evening of the 22d. At Udine, 5,473 electors voted for Yes, and one only for No. At Chioggia, out of 7,992 voters, there was not a single No. At Rovigo, out of 2,760 voters, the result was the same. At Vicenza, 8,610 electors voted for Yes and two only for No. At Verona there were 16,075 electors who voted for Yes and only one for No. (It would thus ap pear that there are not " Two Gentlemen of Verona" who are opposed to the freedom and independence of Italy.) At St. Pierre, Incarrieino, out of 6,135 votes there was not one for No. According to the latest accounts from Trieste, re. specting the health of the Empress Charlotte of Mexico, the isolation in which she is kept, upon the advice of her medical attendants, has produced the best effect. The situation of the chateau of Miramar facilitates this isolation, but at the same time gives the illustrious patient the opportunity of taking ex ercise in the open air without intrusion. The walks which her Majesty has taken in the parks daily have done her much good, and have amused her, and partially removed the fits of melancholy under which she labours ; nevertheless her hallucinations con- tinue. Her state of health is critical, but in this kind of malady, according to the opinion of her physicians, complete re-establishment can only be effected by time. Nocturnal attacks have recently been very fre quent in Paris. The papers to-day contain two accounts of this description of crime. As a person was crossing the Rue Oberkaupf, about midnight, on his way home, he heard footsteps behind him, and almost immediately received a severe blow on the head with an empty bottle. lie says that in falling he recognised his aggressor by the light of the gas lamp, so that the ruffian will be probably arrested. Robbery was, no doubt, the object, but the cries of the victim brought police officers to his assistance. The other case occurred in the Rue Mouffetard. The sufferer was found in a deplorable state. There was a serious cut on his forehead, and his hair was coveied with blood. He had been at tacked by three individuals, who had taken his watch and chain and other valuables. Two of the three assailants have been arrested. A splendid new park is about to be constructed under the superintendence of eminent engineers, at Montsouris, near the valley on the left bank of the Bicvre. It will command a beautiful view of Paris, and will prove for the south of the capital as agree able and as pleasant a retreat as now are enjoyed by the west, the east, and the north from the Bois de Boulogne, the Bois de Vincennes, and the park of the Buttes-Chaumont. The extent will be 16 hectares. • The Havas despatches sent to the Paris papers, which always make a ludicrous hash of anything English, announce that an English company of actors will play during the Exhibition. Among the tragedians mention is made of Mr. Philps. The despatches also inform the Parisians that the prin cipal comedian will be M. Ch. Matteus, meaning, ' I suppose, Charles Matthews. That agreeable actor would, no doubt, laugh at the funny mistakes of these telegraph people, but they often make " the judicious grieve." A decision of great importance to public com panies has been given by the Tribunal of Com merce. A meeting of a water company was adver tised for ordinary purposes. The directors of the company, however, proposed a resolution for the erection of machinery to supply gas. The resolu tion was carried and considerable expense incurred. A shareholder in the meeting protested, but his re monstrances being unavailing, he brought the case before the Tribunal of Commerce. That court has just decided that a company formed to supply water cannot legally, without submitting to certain for malities to change their statutes, offer to supply gas. It therefore condemned the directors to pay a fine of 50f., to refund the expenses incurred, and also to pay the charges incurred for the prosecution, and also to defray the amount required for the in sertion of advertisements in the judicial papers giving an account of the case. The first Cabinet Council which has been held for some time past took place yesterday, at St. Cloud, the Emperor presiding. It lasted several hours. The Tintamarre is responsible for the following : —A gentleman about to enter a house in the Champde d'Antiu met a friend coming out. " What are you doing here ?" said he. The friend replied that he had just been to sec a creditor, and he had had a great deal of trouble in inducing him to accept a little money. " How was that ?" said the gentle " Why, he wanted a great deal," was the man. reply. The Duke - de Leuctenberg, eldest son of the Grand Duchess Maria, and grandson of Prince Eugene de Bauharnais, has been appointed Presi dent of the Russian Commission at Paris for the Grand Exhibition. His Imperial Highness has arrived here. The Cattle Plague and the Store Cattle Trade. A memorial, addressed to the Privy Council, and signed by magistrates, landowners, graziers, and cattle dealers, to the number of nearly 400, from the district of Craven, praying for a modification of the restrictions on the trade between England and Scot land, and for permission to hold a store cattle fair on Linton Holms, in the centre of the district, was pre sented a short time ago, and, the reply being unfavourable as to the admission of stock into Scot- land, but no allusion being made to the fair, the memorialists decided that one or two gentlemen from the district should wait upon Colonel Harness, C. 8., and press for some modification of the pre sent severe restrictions. In accordance with this an interview took place on Wednesday. Mr. BIRKBECK, a landowner and large farmer, and secretary to the Linton Cattle Show, stated that the district of Craven to the north and north west of Skipton and the whole of the bordering county of Westmoreland had never had one case of cattle plague, including an area of more than 800 square miles ; that it was almost entirely a sum mer grazing country, and required markets for its stock in the autumn which must be removed to which in many districts cattle plague, was now i w had n t e r severelyf ood ; suffered o t f l r a o n m d , allowed markets and free intercourse with England, whilst this large district, which has always been free, was inconvenienced and injured by the Scotch markets being entirely closed to it, and public home fairs forbidden ; that Ireland also had free trade in cattle, and was now (as a report of the Dalkeith market, in the York-shire Post, shows) solely mono polising the supply of store cattle to Scotland. He, therefore, hoped that some of the existing restric tions would be removed, as it was manifest they might be without danger. Ile also alluded to the efforts which had been made by the Scottish Board of Agriculture and others interested in the cattle trade in Scotland to modify the restrictions of the trade with this district. Col. HARNESS said there would be difficulty in making exceptions in favour of particular districts. Mr. BIRKBECK replied that they had alreadydone so in favour of the county of Northumberland-- why not for so large a district, in which, he re peated, cattle plague had never existed ? Col. HARNESS replied that the exception had only reference to sheep. On reading over the order he pointed out that fat cattle markets might be held if they were sent afterwards for immediate slaughter; but unless the order was entirely rescinded, it was contrary to its spirit to permit store cattle markets at present. Mr. BIRKBECK suggested that a modification only , of the order would meet the wishes of the memoria lists; he could assure him it pressed the most se verely on the middle-class owners of stock, as large owners could now sell on their farms by public auction, but it would not pay for the small farmers to do so, and they cannot, combine for that purpose, being scattered over such au extensive country. M r . Birkbeck therefore suggested that if store cattle markets were held in counties or petty sessional di visions where there had been no plague for the same number of months as Scotland had been free, and further, to let cattle assemble at such fairs under the restriction of passes, excluding all cattle grazed within 10 miles of an infected district, that would meet every requirement, and would be equally just to the United Kingdom. Col. HARNESS said the Lord President was still in attendance on her Majesty in Scotland, but that there was a strong desire to mitigate the severity of these restrictions by the Lords of the Privy Council, if they could with safety ; that they had the subject continually under discussion, and he would place the present communications duly before them. Letters in support of the object were presented from the Mayor of Bolton (a gentleman connected with the district), and from Lord F. Cavendish, M.P., and Sir F. Crossley, Bart., M.P., the repre sentatives of this part of the county. LATEST INTELLICIBI\TOT% (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) AMERICA, QUEENSTOWN, Oct. 26. The Inman steamship, City of New York, from New York, on the 13th inst., arrived here at 3.20 a.m. to-day with 360 passengers, and $49,200 in specie. She landed 680 of the former, and pro ceeded at 4 a.m. for. Liverpool. FRANCE. A frankfort letter says :—" The vintage in Ger many this year is likely to be unfavourable with respect to quality. As to quantity it will be con siderable, and there are fears that casks will be wanting to contain the must. The year 1865 hav ing produced only wines of a superior quality, there is a want of the commoner sorts, and with that respect the produce of the present year being abundant will meet with a ready sale, should not the foreign wines compete with it in the market. This eventuality is the more possible that during the first quarter of the present year the imports of wine amounted to 125,000 gallons, against 56,000 in the corresponding period of last year." A communication from Hamburg contains the subjoined :—" The coin crops in the district around this city have been abundant, but the quality is un fortunately far from responding to the hopes which appearances at the commencement of the summer had given rise to. Heavy rains in the months of July and August prevented the full ripening of ears ; a large number rotted in the fields, and the harvest could not take place until four or five weeks later than the usual period. The wheat, from the healthy appearance of the stalk in the spring, promised a most beautiful yield, but the heavy rain in the latter portion of the summer spoilt one of the finest harvests ever anticipated. The inferior quality of the wheat this year in the neighbourhood of the free city would have inevitably caused a considerable fall in prices if the bad crops in France and England had not rendered necessary purchases abroad by those coun- tries. In fact the rise i❑ the old wheat of 1865, which is much demanded, has also caused an in crease in the prices of the new crops. There never theless exists a notable difference between the two qualities of 1865 and 1866 ; the old wheat sells for 300 f. the ton, while the new is worth only from 230 f. to 260 f. The exports from France and Eng land are at this moment very considerable, and the rates of freight have consequently profited by that animation. The following may be taken as a succinct account of theresult of the corn-harvest in this neighbourhood : —Wheat ; yield-very abundant, 20 per cent. above the average ; quality variable, but generally inferior. Rye : scarce ; 40 per cent. below the ordinary run. Barley : abundant, good average, bad quality. Oats : very plentiful yield ; quality inferior everywhere." The bulletin of the Paris Observatory gives the following as the atmospheric situation yesterday : " The air continues calm in Europe, but pretty strong winds began to blow from between south east and south-west in Norway and Sweden. In the British Isles the wind is variable between south and west, in France and central Europe north-east and south-east currents prevail. The temperature is a little higher in Russia ; however, it was still close to zero this morning, and snow has fallen at Nicolaieff, near the Crimea. The barometer con tinues to fall all over Europe, particularly in the south and west."—ln Paris yesterday the weather was fine, but somewhat colder. The thermometer at three in the afternoon marked 14.4 Cent. (58 Fahr.)

(Signed) ROULAND. THE CANOE CLUB.—On Saturday last the mem bers of the Canoe Club held a meeting on board the plea sure-barge at Ditton. Thirty members were elected, rules adopted, and officers elected for the year. After dinner some of the canoeists spent a pleasant evening in listening to accounts of the various summer journeys, the most notable of which were those of the captain (to Norway and Sweden), and the mate (through the lochs of Scotland). Several canoe casualties have occurred since the formation of the club in July last. One gentleman had been pulled ashore by peasant women in Scotland, and ono had been spilt over a weir in the Severn, completely wrecking his canoe, and going within a shade of getting drowned. LITERATURE. Kingsford. By the Author of "Son and Heir." ' Two vols. Hurst and Blackett. In these two volumes the author of " Son and Heir" has given us one of the most interesting stories we have read this season. The three prin cipal characters, about whom the chief interest is concentrated, are admirably well drawn. Ralph Lorton and Margaret and Erlesmere Clive are each in their several ways perfect. At the open ing of the story Erlesmere Clive is the lord of the manor of Kingsford. The last representative of the old family, a colonel in India, has been disinherited by old Squi;e Kingsford, who has left the estates to his brother-in-law, the father of Erlesmere. On his death young Erlesmere be comes, as we have said, lord of the manor. He is described, when we first meet him, as " the very embodiment of a young ' swell '—of a good English type, with fair complexion and blue eyes, with flaxen moustache and whiskers—be made a very fair Lord of the Manor—un roi debonnaire— sweet-tempered, easy-going, lazy, extravagant. But just as those lithe slender limbs of his had in them as much strength as an ordinary English gentleman could want, so his air of sleepy aristocratic languor was but the soft outer covering of a sufficiently tough kernal of energy and determination." The iron hand and the velvet glove are happily com bined in the instance of Erlesmere Clive. When consulting a friend about some building improve ments, we find him "gliding from the topic, finding the opinion an adverse one," and we are told " that it was Erlesmere's habit to make up his mind in silence, to hear every one's advice with placid de ference, almost approval, and when they thought they were twisting him round their fingers, be hold he was saying in his sleepy way—' Still do you know, on the whole, I think I shall do as I first proposed.'" This determination of character stands him in good stead when, later on, the crisis of his life puts him to the trial, and he conies out like gold from the furnace. Very different is Mar garet Clive, the sister of Erlesmere. Proud and haughty in her demeanour, but impetuous and pas sionate in her feelings, she is her own most cruel enemy. Love and pride struggle for the mastery in her heart, but in her outward bearing only pride is visible. The third character who divides the in terest with the brother and sister is Ralph Lorton, the parish doctor. Ralph happens to be a connec tion of the Kingsford family, some lady of that house having, "to the hourly,mortification of her family, married a former Ralph Lorton, the Kingsford doc tor of that day." "Tanned and roughened by the sun and wind, with a frank, healthy, outdoor-look about him, wherever Ralph Lorton went he seemed to bring, if not always sunshine, his temper being none of the smoothest, yet a breath of keen, exhili rating, westerly air." The frank, independent spirit of the Parish Doctor is rightly appreciated by the Lord of the Manor, and the truest and warmest friendship subsists between the two. And how feels Margaret? Margaret loves intellectual conversa tion, and Margaret, with her haughty bearing and ambitious projects loves conversing with the Parish Doctor. At the very beginning of the stcry the brother and sister, and doctor, are returning from church. Erlesmere goes in to fetch a shawl for his sister, and Ralph Lorton hearing Miss Clive speak of leaving Kingsford, forgets in a moment the caution of years, and asks the proud lady to be his wife. After a moment's pause he gets his answer— • " Mr. Lorton," she said at last, her very lips white, her eyes like coals of fire, "you must be out of your senses. That is the only excuse I can make for your conduct. Al low me to pass, if you please." " Wait a moment." He seemed struggling with himself then, " Will you give me an answer ?" he said, in a hoarse voice. " Mr. Lorton, I think you might spare my reminding you of the difference in our positions, which makes your conduct to me the grossest insult !" " Yes," he answered ; " you are the lady of the Manor, and I am the parish doctor, and I insult you by loving you; but, insult or not, I shall always love you, and you can't prevent it," and he threw the gate wide open. Margaret walked with head erect, with an air of dignity that was a little too self-conscious to be perfect. Her long black silken skirts swept the fallen leaves to right and left. For a long while after the rustle of dead leaves filled Ralph Lorton with loathing. Erlesmere was coming to meet them, the shawl hanging from his arm. It seemed to Ralph that a whole year had passed—that another life, and a new order of things, had begun since they had parted at the Manor House door. " This much I will do," and Margaret turned and looked at the doctor as one might look at, a toad—" I will let my brother know n othing of thismost unpleasant conversation, I if it can possibly be avoided." He raised his head with a certain proud dignity. " Miss Clive, I have done nothing to-day that I should mind the whole world knowing. I glory in loving you—l am not ashamed of being refused by you." And then Erlesmere came up, and threw the shawl round his sister with an evidently practised hand. Awfully cold you look, both of you—quite blue." "Yes," answered Margaret, smiling, "it was very cold in Norwood, certainly, and we dawdled about, looking at the view and talking about—oh, about Australia." We have already spoken of the friendship existing between the Lord of the Manor and the Parish Doctor. This is forcibly exemplified, when Erles mere Clive risks his life to preserve Lorton from drowning, and the next day when Ralph begins " I haven't thanked you yet," " Pray don't begin then," returns Erlesmere, in his most languid tone. "We were both in the canal yesterday, and if I had gone in first, you would have gone in second, so where's the difference ?" "We understand each other pretty well, I think," says Ralph. Such being the state of feeling between them, the painful intensity of the following scene may be con jectured. There has been a grand ball at Kings ford House, and Margaret has accepted the pro posal of Lord Mortlake. Brilliant and prosperous is the career of brother and sister, when the follow ing interview takes place : The young Squire and Newton werolust starting for a "day with the rabbits." Erlesmere had gone round by the stables, and was on his way to the keeper's lodge, when a servant came running from the house with the tidings that Mr. Lorton wished to speak with him. "I hope he won't keep me long," thought Erlesmere, as he retraced his steps, " or Newton will be savage." In the hall workmen were carrying away camelia and orange-trees. The debris of the ball had hardly yet dis appeared. Ralph had been shown into the study. Ho stood looking out of window, nor did he move until the Squire was close to his elbow. Then he turned sharply, and Erlesmere sprang back with the conviction that the doctor had met with some dreadful accident. " He has been poisoning somebody by mistake," thought the squire. Ralph held out something which Erlesmero thought was a folded piece of parchment. " 1 found this yesterday," was all he said. The Squire, perplexed, took it from him--glanced it through. A shock of horror seemed to pass over his face, but he neither spoke nor uttered a sound. It was Squire Kingsford's will. Not the one by which he had left Kingsford Manor to William Clive, and which bore the date 12th November, 1849 ; but another by which the estate was bequeathed to Robert Kingsford, anrlwhich was dated June 22d, 1850. The witnesses were, Samuel Armitage, Mary Pollard, respectively butler and cook at the Manor House, in the old squire's time, and butler and cook at the Manor House to this very day. Erlesmero took rather a longer time than seemed ne cessary to read this,will. Then he said without looking up, " Where —" He stopped, cleared his throat, which seemed a little husky, and went on in almost his natural tone— " Where did you find this ?" " In Mrs. Fowler's old Bible," answered Ralph, in a hard, sharp sort of voice. " Mrs. Fowler's old Bible," repeated Erlesmere mechani cally. "Let me see," and ho put up his hand to his fore head as if confused—" who is Mrs. Fowler ?" " She was servant at the Manor House twenty yea' s'ago. The Bible was old Squire Kingsford's. It was given to her. She gave it to me." There was a dead silence in the room. Ralph looked out of the window, Erlesmere looked at the will ; neither of them knew what he was looking at. At last Erlesmere lifted up his face, deadly white, but perfectly composed, it was. " The first step must be to see Mr. Gascoigne." (Mr. Gascoigne was the Olives' family lawyer.) "Ah I re member, he is coming over here this afternoon." Some thing seemed to catch his breath as he spoke; for he had intended discussing with Mr. Gascoigne the settlement ho meant to make upon his sister at her marriage. " Could p . m manage to come ht-re again at two o'clock ?" " Yes," replied Ralph. "It all seems correct enough," Erlesmere went on, in the same calm tone. "But, of course, we must make quite sure. I see the witnesses aro two of the servants. You know Colonel Kingsford's address, I suppose 2" And, for the first time since he read the will, Erlesmere turned and looked at Ralph. It was as if he wanted to face bravely the fact of the Colonel's ownership. "No ; but I know his lawyer's." " That will do, then." Erlesmere folded up the parchment with a great deal of deliberation, and held it out to Ralph. " Will you keep it till we meet again, or shall I ?" " Keep it yourself, for God's sake !" burst out Ralph, in a voice choked with passion. "Don't let me get hold of it again !" And then he turned away, and put up his hand to his face. Erlesmere looked at the doctor with a mournful, bevel" dered sort of smile, as if trying to understand the cause of his emotion. He said: "Just sit down for a minute, Lof,on, and I will get you a glass of wine. You seem awfully knocked up." " Don't—don't," muttered the doctor —" I have ruined you." His face was hidden, but his broad shoulders seemed to writhe convulsively. " You have not ruined me, and this is not ruin," Erles" mere answered, steadfastly, and with a peculiar gentleness in his tone. " Don't come again this afternoon. Gas" coigne can write to you. It is worse for you than it is for me" "Yes; I shall come at two o'clock—l have begun it, and I must go through with it." And Ralph started up, and went across the room. Bet as he walked he staggered, and onco or twice ho putout his hand, as if to save himself from falling. Ile stood fumbling at the handle of the door, then he turned, as by a sudden impulse. "Don't tell your sister —give me your word you won't tell your sister. It may be a forgery—Gascoigne will 60 it is, see if he doesn't ! Anyhow, there may be a way of escape. Don't tell her, Olive," and then his voice choked again. " Certainly I shall not think of telling my sister until everything is quite settled," returned Erlesmere, with soul° dignity. "My poor Margaret!" he said to himself, with such a sharp pang at his heart. When Ralph was gone, Erlesmere rang the bell, and said, in his ordinary tone, to the servant who appeared, " Tell Newton I have business to attend to, and mus t give up shooting this morning." This done, he locked the door, sqt down, folded h's anus upon the table, hid his face in his hands. So he sat With out moving or speaking for hours. What he went through that morning, God alone ever knew. We have always a particular reluctance to " the interest" of a story. We have been compelled to reveal so much in order to give our readers some idea of the very interesting character of the plots and the powerful ability displayed in the creation of the principal characters. How the situation be comes complicated by the death of the Indian Colonel —the remorse of Ralph, the suffer ings of Margaret, and the gentleman l y chivalry of Erlesmere, we leave our readers to lora from the pages of " Kingsford," assured that they will thank us for commending to their attention 3 work so attractive and enthralling. Our only ob jection to the book is the occasional and unneces sary introduction of topics of religious controversy'. The Asylum for Idiots, Earlswood. • The autumnal election of this charity was hod yesterday, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate street, Mr. Alderman Abbiss in the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings the day, said he had little to comment upon on this occasion, and he, therefore, requested that the ladies and gentlemen present would remain quiet for d two or three minutes, as the poll would be ope n° immediately afterwards. He had to congyatull the friends and subscribers on the continued good health of the inmates, and on the flourishing eOll - of the institution. (Hear, hear.) There were, indeed, two or three points to which he tall st , refer. In the first place, the board had ven tured to do something which they had never don c l before, but he hoped the subscribers vir° ll ,, / a think that in what they had done tli" board had acted discreetly and wisely. (AP; plause.) It was a faet well known to all presel l that the cholera had visited this City, and the re was one case which had been brought before the public, and subsequently 'came under t h e n otic 3 the board, where the mother and five children bad been attacked by cholera. One of the children lei t was au idiot, and the board, deeming the case to be one of an exceptional character as regarded t '! lo t usual forms required, bad at once admitted the icb ° without any preliminaries to the benefits of th e asylum, subject nevertheless to the approval of !130. subscribers. (Loud applause.) If the inectin7, approved of what had been done he begged thcis'ici present would raise their hands ? (Here every ba'nb, a was held up.) He was happy to find that th e P u lit appreciated the step which had been taken, °n ue that they had come to the same conclusion a s t ' committee. They had now some 430 children 3s , inmates, and the home was quite full. To p ro f vide for the ensuing election it had been thea. expedient to make temporary provision for d 7, tonal inmates, by converting some W °r c shops, by which 100 more might be a cconn 3l ; dated. It was imperative that this should be & II : Out of the £ 30,000 required to carry out the e'e., tension of the building, &c., the committee ha d t o ceived in promises and cash £3,000, leaving a sti a of £27,000 to be furnished by the subscriber oll : o the public generally. The intention was to fin d asylum for 800 instead of 400 inmates. The b ciar mi t t however, pledged themselves to incur no debt, ma. to proceed only as they may have funds in bail (Hear, hear.) Jot The poll was then declared open, and the b the commenced. It appears that on this occasion or number of candidates-204—is unusually large/ co exceeding any former list, and although the SPcle. in the asylum is so very limited the board have f o r tided to admit 30 cases, viz., five for life, and 25.0 g five years. During this autumn and the ensue spring a special effort will be made to obtain f tll3 o t for the enlargement of the asylum, which 0 % 11 0 well be longer delayed. The board propose to I '7 o among themselves and friends the sum of £2, to and they hope that the subscribers and the Vl.ot will contribute so liberally that the desired 0 may be attained. Scene in Northmoor-Green Churc of The Bridgewater Mercury recounts the particular i st, another disgraceful scene which occurred on Sunday and was far .worse and more distressing than any P rece :n l C! l ones. Mr. Hunt commenced the morning service Th.st after 11 o'clock, and proceeded for a time in the ordiaot%.. way, when it was suddenly interrupted by a g reat e ioa motion being observed near the door, followed by 6 ; fi r burst of laughter and a, stamping of feet, the evi deilv Th e tention being to create as much noise as possible. t wo cause of this tumult was the entry into the church of the ir women and four men, attired in what they designated tri;il "vestments." These consisted, for the most pa rt, of se pieces of paper, either pinned or sewn togethe r, in th° tbo of a cloak, and intended to represent a cope (similar to aper worn by Mr. Hunt in his high celebrations.) I l° P o or' was of various colours, and consisted of strips of e co° hangings. On the back, in the gayest colours , were Pil, 4 rga of paper arranged in the form of alarge cross. P ieces e'.lllls' placards, printed on different-coloured paper, page s °I let ° , trated periodicals, &c., fastened together, helped to nel e el the costume.
