Mr. SUMMER has, it seems, taken upon himself the office of spokesman for the Radicals. He hag been delivering an address at Boston on " The One M a n in Power versus Congress," so that there should b e no possible mistake about his subject or about the manner in which he meant to handle it. We may easily guess the tone and temper of the harangue, the denunciations about the abuse of Presidential power, the fervent appeals on behalf of the negro, are none of them difficult to imagine. Mr. SUMNER animadverted at some length upon Mr. JOHNSON'S conduct of the Government, and accused • him of having assumed the legislative functions. The PRESIDENT might with some justice retort upon his adversaries that they wish or intend to usurp the whole administration of the State. Representing as they do only a portion of the country, they are ambitious not only of legislating for the whole popu lation, but of dictating to the Executive both with regard to domestic and foreign policy, and of re constructing the famous constitution which hitherto a ll parties have agreed to reverence. Mr. SUMNER has found out a new grievance. The present State Governments of the South are not in accordance with Republican form. He does not exactly tell us what is the particular form of administration which he considers more orthodox, but tells us that all negroes who hold to their allegiance are entitled to citizenship, and he insists upon the adoption of the Constitutional amendment. It is the fashion now durine , the recess for the Radical orators and writers throughout the country to imply that the admission of the Southern States to Congress only depends upon their acceptance of this much-talked of amendment. Those who take the trouble to look back over the debates of Congress and the manifestoes of the Radical party will find, however, that no such intimation is given. It is very con venient to try to win the suffrages of the Moderate party, and to throw the onus of the exclusion of Southern representatives upon the States them selves ; but there is no reason whatever to suppose or believe that the Radical party would tolerate the admission of the presence of Southern members. The Radicals would naturally object to the diminu tion of their political power consequent upon the admission of an opposing force. They are shrewed enough to provide themselves with a remedy should public opinion prove too strong for them. By in sisting upon negro suffrage they will contrive that the representatives of the Southern States shall be in reality members of their own party. Should they be unable to carry this by gettin g t h e repre sentation based upon population, or, in other words, by not reckoning the blacks in calculating the re presentation of the South—a principle not unfair i n itself, and therefore more likely to be carried—they will so greatly diminish .the number of Southern representatives as to render them less formidable. In no case could the Southern members effect any thing by themselves ; what the Radicals have to fear is their junction with the Northern Democrats or PRESIDENT'S party. The extreme virulence of the ultra-Radicals cannot, of course, commend itself to men of intelligence and reflection. One of the great drawbacks to the American Constitution is now making itself felt in the agita tion respecting the next FreacieUticiti election. Jbere are of course plenty of candidates, including a large proportion of military heroes. General GRANT seems likely to have a good chance, though SHER MAN and SHERIDAN are also talked of. BUTLER is eager for the White House, but we should be un willing to believe that any temporary excitement or Radical vehemence could elect such a man to the supreme office in a country like America. It would unquestionably be the best thing for the Union if ANDREW JOIINSON were re-elected ; but, thanks to the predominance of Radicalism, of this there seems little chance. There is no knowing, however, what turn events may take, and although he has at pre sent the worst of the game, and is openly threatened with impeach►vent, neither Europe nor America will forget his services to his country in a time of unexampled difficulty and trial. Mr. DAVIS'S trial is still talked of indefinitely. It is believed that his counsel will demand a writ of habeas corpus to bring him before the State Courts. His health is currently reported to be failing, and it will be a lasting reproach to the American people should they suffer him to die in prison. Strange news reaches us from Vancouver's Island. A meet ing has been held inVictoria, at which Mr. APCLURE announced the intention of the Government to peti tion for a responsible government and a reciprocity treaty with the United States; or, if this failed, to solicit the QUEEN for the annexation of the colony to the United States ! This is very cool, an d proves that Mr. JouN BRIGHT and Professor GOLDWIN SMITH are not alone in their glory. The text of the address delivered by Herr VON PATOW, the Prussian. Civil Governor, upon taking formal possession of Frankfort, is a very Prussian affair. It is quite characteristic of the Berlin Go vernment from beginning to end, and we are not surprised that it should have called forth a protest from the citizens. We consider that this annexation of Frankfort is one of the most unconscionable acts of the war, and reveals in a most conspicuous man ner the state of political morality that exists in high places in Prussia, and is eagerly approved of by the people. It is really most irritating to peruse this address, and it must have been regarded by those whom it concerns as most insulting, which it cer tainly was. They were told in plain terms that the moment when the change was effected must be for them a moment of great "interest." Very interest ing, certainly, for the inhabitants of a free city to have their rights forfeited, and their liberties sup pressed, and then to be told that this sacrifice was in the name of progress and liberty. Let us con sider for a moment what is said to these martyrs to the ambition of Prussia. " You have now a father land in the highest sense of the word—a father land such as you never yet possessed, nor could have possessed." The latter part of this sentence is true, for the history of Frankfort would be very different if it had belonged to Prussia. The mem bers of a free city are to consider themselves fortu nate in exchanging their dearly cherished liberties in order to become the subjects of a King who " directs the destinies of a great kingdom with jus tice and wisdom, with power and leniency." Per haps there could not be a better illustration of the inaccuracy of this statement than the course pursued by the Prussian Governor of Schleswig, who has just prohibited the raising of subscriptions by the Danish inhabitants for the purchase of a wedding gift to the Princess DAGMAR. The fact is that those who are unfortunate enough to be put under the dominion of the Berlin Government must bid a long farewell to all their hopes of freedom, and forget that they were ever free citizens of an independent State. The worst part of the Berlin rule is that there are such unnecessary restrictions enforced, and so many arbitrary and irritating rules laid down that can serve no other purpose than that of exhi biting tho contempt felt for the opinion of others, and the want of consideration entertained for those under its control. The protest issued by the citizens of Frankfort is a very admirable one, and expresses in earnest and eloquent terms the respect they entertain for their old institutions, and the regret they experience at the nature of the changes thus forced upon them. It must be very mortifying to the self-sufficiency of the Prussians to meet with this check, which it is mo rally, if not politically. Here have the official organs of Berlin been declaiming about the strong desire felt by all the States to be annexed to Prussia, and now this protest appears, signed by the members of the two Legislative Corps, and by fifteen thousand of the citizens of the Free City. It is a contradic tion in terms to all that has been said by the Mi nisters to the Chambers, and eagerly reiterated by the press and people of Prussia. All who respect justice and value independence must experience a feeling of regret when they peruse this solemn pro test, and agree in the truth of its assertions, the tone of its indignation, and the magnitude of the wrongs it rehearses. The citizens feel that they are giving up their privileges for no available equi valent, and this is indeed hard. They know too much to put faith in the good intentions of Prussia, and are too wise to think that the unityof Germany will be effected notwithstanding all that has been said about it actually taking place. Indeed it is ably shown here that the ruin of Frankfort is an injury to the cause professedly at heart instead of a step in its furtherance. " The strong hand of Prussia has undertaken to reconsti tute Germany, but its endeavours can only be crowned with success when a complete reconcilia tion has taken place between Northern and Southern Germany." This is quite true, as is also what fol lows, to the effect that " neutral ground between their respective limits can hardly be spared, and thus if Frankfort is reduced to be a Prussian provin- cial town her power as mediator will be over; whereas, had she remained " free" and " indepen dent," she might have done good service in the work of national regeneration. Some remarkable words of the higtoriau HEEREN are quoted, which are appropriate. " Four small j ewe l s g li sten in the very Federal chain ; they are the four f ree c iti es which may not be eclipsed by the brilliancy of larger ones." Prussia may yet find the prophe c y here uttered come true in her own case, and be like the despotism here alluded to, which would establish nothing but departments with prefects and mayors in place of political constitutions. "It would resemble the Boman empire, and terminate in the sunset of all political progress, and crush civilisation." We are glad that this protest should have appeared, and that the historian who denounces the unjust act of Prussia should also have to make mention of the noble vindication of their rights thus uttered by the vanquished. There is sometimes more real honour in a defeat than in a success, and the day may come sooner than some expect when Prussia will have to give up her ill-gotten gains amid the sneers and contempt of those who now Ratter and fawn upon her. An interesting affair is that of the Volunteers proceeding to Belgium, and at the present time it is especially desirable that a good feeling should exist between the English and the inhabitants of tha• little kingdom. Ihe greatest enthusiasm seems to have prevailed hitherto, and will no doubt be continued to the end. The appearance of the Volunteers, who mustered a thousand strong, was very good, and in all quarters the :a has been an evident desire displayed to afford a genial welcome and a hearty hospitality to the visi tors. Many entertainments are in course of progress, and although the KING will not be able to do all he prr.posed, in consequence of the lamented illness of lais sister, yet there will be ample oppor tunities o f mirth and rejoicing, and abundant proofs afforded of the mutual goodwill that exists. The Burgor taster's address was a characteristic one, and full of spirit and enthusiasm. He welcomed to the old " Drabancan city" those wise citizens armed for the protection of their native hearths. He declared that the city of Brussels was proved to be the " tryst ing-place of neighbouring nations, and of fore seeing 'in the noble rivalries of these tournays ' a glorious promise for the future. Col. LOYD LINDSAY replied in an appropriate style, and testified his pride at being the commandant of the corps before them. He added that never before had so considerable a force been assembled on a foreign territory with so peaceful "an object." The commandant of the French also made a suitable address, and proposed the cry of Vice la Belgique, which was very warmly responded to. we hope these peaceful arrays will be all Belgium will witness for many a long year ; that this generation at any rate may not see the downfall of the little kingdom which has always been a source of interest to us in this country. The Australian mail gives us a satisfactory account of the position of affairs. The colonies seem to be prosperous and contented, and are occupying them selves chiefly in matters of useful legislation. At Melbourne the chief event of interest has been the arrival of the new Governor, Sir JOIIN MANNERS SUTTON, who arrived on the 13th of August, and was very well received by all parties, notwithstand ing the fierce political warfare that preceded the departure of his predecessor. All parties seem to have agreed upon receiving the new Governor with respect, and, accordingly his levee, held within a week after his arrival, was very largely attended. It is customary in the Democratic city of Mel bourne to admit every one to such assemblies who presents himself in evening dress, and the new Governor, who in the plenitude of his satisfaction began shaking hands with all his visitors, soon found he had enough to do. It is a pretty sure sign that there is not much stirring in Victoria that this unwonted condescension on the part of the new dignitary has occasioned a good deal of speculation, some gravely asserting that it was a sign of American sympathies, while others demurred to any such serious construction. The Ministerial elections for the Assembly have all resulted in favour of the Government. Mr. MILLER, the new Minister of Railways, has, however, lost his seat in the Council, leaving the Government totally unre presented in the Upper House. This is an awk ward state of things, for though it is not in Victoria considered indispensable to have Ministerial representatives in both Houses it is very difficult to get on without them. The new Land Act still works well, and there are hopes of other useful measures. In New South Wales the session had begun quietly enough, and several very good measures relating to the internal administration of affairs have already been passed. The Ministry has wisely refrained from opening the old vexed party questions, and are occupying themselves with workhouses, cattle stealing, reformatories, and industrial schools. Our Australian colonies, like all other rapidly increasing communities, have plenty of such social difficulties to deal with, and it is high time the political combatants laid aside some of their keen contests for their consideration and settlement. Unfortunately party feeling runs high, and these matters are less exciting though more really urgent. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Friday Evening. The latest accounts received in Paris from Sicily are satisfactory. Tranquillity had been completely re-established at Palermo, and the insurgent bands had dispersed. All the persons accused of being concerned in these troubles, whose signatures are attached to the insurrectionary proclamations, in cluding the Prince de Linguaglossa, protest their innocence. They all declare that they were dragged to the hotel de Ville, under a threat of being assas sinated, and that their names were affixed to the placards without their knowledge or consent. The above prince is the president of the pretended Di rectory Committee. The Italian troops engaged in quelling thes e disturbances suffered less than was at first imagined. Their loss in killed and wounded was 366 men. The official proclamation of the incorporation of the free city of Frankfort with the kingdom of Prussia took e place on the 7th inst. The w r it er of one account of the ceremony says that during the reading of the Royal letters patent, the citizens of all classes exhibited their profound and unanimous regret at the loss of their independence. In re ference to this annexation the Siecle says:— " Of all the annexations effected by Prussia none is less justifiable than that of Frankfort. To a cer tain extent a defence might be found for that of Hanover and Cassel, the geographical situation of those States, cutting Prussia in two, made their union a sort of material necessity. We hare pro tested against the manner in which the incorpora tion was affected, in violation of all popular right, without denying the strong reasons which rendered it difficult to maintain those countries as distinct States. In regard to Frankfort, however, none of these reasons exist. A small territory, at the ex treme limit of the Confederation of the North, des titute of all military strength, with importance in a strategic point of view, incapable of opposing the slightest obstacle to the national aspirations towards Germanic unity, what powerful interest required the sacrifice of her independence ? " If the whole of Germany pronounced in favour of unification, if all the private sovereignties had evinced the desire to merge into the great Germanic country, we could understand that Frankfort should renounce her local independence. But when they preserve Saxony, Grand Ducal Hesse, Brunswick, Lippe-Lippe, and other similar States, without counting Baden, Wurtem berg, and Bavaria, when the feudal sovereignty of Mecklenburg is respected, what serious reason can be alleged in support of the suppression of the Republic of Frankfort? In Hanover, in Hesse, at Nassau, a great portion of the population accepts with joy the union with Prussia, but at Frankfort the violation of the national will is flagrant. There is even no attempt to deny it. Never was the abuse of strength more patent and more brutal. Never did it merit more energetic reprobation." The four sailor ruffians—Lenard, Corbuccio, 011ie, and Thepault— who committed the terrible murders on board the Fedceris-Area, have at length expiated their crimes. They have been executed at Brest, where they were condemned by the Maritime Tribunal. For three years they have been able to take advantage of the "law's delay" by appeals and technicalities of various kinds connected with mari time jurisdiction. On a cold, gloomy autumnal morning these sailors, accustomed to the free breezes of " the open sea," after suffering remorse for three years in narrow loathsome cells, were again led forth into the air only to breathe it for a few minutes. The crowd before the prison was im mense. The sailors on board the vessels in har bour, which commanded a view of the scaffold, thronged the decks to witness the fatal scene. There were shouts, cries, and tumult, but when the culprits appeared, all was as silent as the grave. The axe of the guillotine fell, and was raised four times successively, and each time the head of a murderer was severed from his body, and in a few moments human justice was satisfied. There has been au execution at Nantes for a shocking crime. The culprit, Mathurin Chaneau, suffered death for outraging and murdering a girl 12 years of age. The crowd began to assemble at 8 o'clock in the evening, although the execution did not take place till 6 in the morning. Rather a smart saying is related of the celebrated German battle-painter, Fritz Lallemand, who died a few days ago. He was at the head-quarters of General Benedek during the late campaign in Bohemia. After the terrible defeat at Sadowa Lallemand went to the Commander of the Austrian Forces, and requested permission to return to Vienna. " Were you not engaged for the whole time of the war ?" asked Benedek. " Certainly, your Excellency," replied Lallemand; "I was en gaged as a painter of battles, and not as a painter of routed armies." If Rome were saved by geese (says the Courrier d'Orient), the Quarter of Brigdournia, at Pancaldi, has just been saved by a cock. Last Tuesday night, during a frightful storm which raged over the town, the lightning struck an outhouse which was used as a shelter for carts. It was soon in flames. The vivid fire alarmed a cock which was in the outhouse with his family of hens, and his fears for them made him crow loudly and incessantly. The noise alarmed the carter, who procured assistance, and the flames were extinguished. Had it not been for the warnings of the cock the flames would undoubt edly have reached the houses close to the building, to which the lightning had set fire. The weather continues as per last—foggy, very cold, and almost "as dark as Erebus." For two days there has been a total eclipse of the sun all day, not foretold by astronomers. The weather prophets, like the coachmen, have lately been out in pH weathers, but who could have foretold severe winter weather in autumn. The coal and wood dealers have taken advantage of the cold, and have raised the price of both. A young sculptor who frequented the Cabaret de la Mere Rigault, an establishment frequented by artists, has fallen despdately in love with the hand some and attractive young widow who now keeps that establishment. A day or two ago she received a letter from the sculptor in these terms :—" Divine Pebble,—lf you were guided by the mallet of fide lity, I should have made some impression upon you. I, who have moulded into form the hardest mate rials, had hoped that with the compass of reason and the saw of constancy, the sweet file of friendship, and the polish of speech, thought I should have made of you oue of the most beautiful statues in the world. But, alas ! 3ou are as insensible as stone ; and yet you have fired my soul, although you are as cold as marble. Have pity on me. 1 know not what lam about. lamso in love that if I had to sculpture a dragon, I believe that in mis take I should form a Cupid. Dear column of my hopes, pedestal of my happiness, cornice of my joy, if you will make me happy I will raise statues and pyramids to you. I shall come to-morrow for your answer.—AUGUSTE." The lady considered the letter as a pleasant joke, and she and some friends were laughing over it the next day, when Auguste happened to present himself for the answer. He was enraged and furious, and threatened to murder the lady. The police were sent for, and Auguste is now in a lunatic asylum. Love has driven him mad ! The sculptor relied too much upon the effect of " sermons in stones." The Moniteur states that the ratifications of the treaty of peace concluded between Austria and Italy were exchanged at Vienna on Friday. Tele graphic despatches have been received in Paris an nouncing that the towns of Mantua and Peschiera had been completely evacuated by the Austrian troops. The military authorities placed them under the orders of General Lebeeuf, who immediately sent them to their respective homes. The same operation will take place in regard to the other strong places of Venetia. An official contradiction is given to the report published in some of the journals that the Roman Legion formed at Antibes under the sanction of the Pope, and placed at the disposal of his holiness, wears the French tri-coloured cockade. The new Legion, like the other Corps of the Pontifical Army, hoists the cockade and flag of the holy Father. The following is from the Moniteur :—" Thanks to the efforts of the French Embassy at Constanti nople the difference which existed between the Ottoman Government and the Principality of Montenegro seems likely to be definitively arranged. The lines of blockade constructed by the Turks in Montenegro, which obstructed the communication, in the interior have been destroyed. Patrons of territory to which the Porte had for a long time made claim have been given up by it to the Govern ment of Montenegro. There is, therefore, every reason to believe that pacified relations will be re established between the Ottoman Government and the Principality of Montenegro." The Memorial Diplomatique announces confi dently that Austria has taken a decisive step with a view to reconciliation with Hungary, and that at the meeting of the Diet in November next the ancient Constitution will be restored in its integrity. It appears, from the official tables of the compara tive receipts of direct and indirect taxes of the years 1864-64-65, that the results up to the month of March are satisfactory. The produce of the in direct taxes, excluding the amount upon sugar for the first three months of 1866, present an increase of 37,647,000 f., as compared with the correspond ing period of 1865. The month of September alone exhibits a decrease in the receipts. The inundations were no doubt the cause of this decrease. It is hoped that the tax upon sugars, estimated in the budget as 107 millions, will have entirely reached its usual amount by the end of the year. The Treasury has already received 79,482,0001. under this head. The produce of direct taxes was much the same as in 1865. An eccentric character, a Baroness X--, resid ing near the Place Vendome, has just been found dead in her bed. The place was miserable in the extreme. There was scarcely any furniture in it, and the bed was not fit for a human being. The apartment appeared as if no one bad lived in it for a Wing time, but the Baroness had occupied it for 25 years. She paid an annual rent of about £6O sterling, and it has been ascertained that she had money in the funds which produced £2,000 per annum. Yet this woman always went out dressed like a beggar, and indeed she has beep seen begging in the streets. She lived upon bread and refuse which she picked up in the streets or obtained from charitable persons. The body was almost like a skeleton, and a doctor, who was called in, gave his opinion that death was caused by exhaustion, pro-1 duced from the want of proper nourishment. On Saturday, the 6th inst., she returned home about ten o'clock at night, and in passing the porter's lodge she fell down from weakness. The por ter offered her some assistance, which she refused, it is fully believed, because she feared she should be compelled to remunerate him. After sit ting down in the lodge for a few minutes she was ordered and went up stairs. She was never again seen alive. Some lodgers in the house, not having seen the Baroness for several days, the Commissary of Police was sent for, and, on the door being broken open, the emaciated body was found. She was about 75. She had several rooms, but they contained little else than dusty, worm-eaten papers. The windows had evidently not been cleaned for years. Some handsome new pieces of lfr. and 2fr. have recently been struck at the Mint. On one side is the head of the Emperor crowned with laurel, with the words "Napoleon 111., Emperor." On the re verse are the arms of France and the figures 1 or 2 to indicate the value of the coin. It is a curious fact that the centime, the fifth part of a sou or a halfpenny, has in all times been more scarce than the franc. When the decimal coinage was first in troduced the French Republic coined 50 million centime pieces, that is to say to the value of 500,000 fr. In 30 years afterwards they had nearly all dis appeared. They were bought up by the metal but ton manufacturers and cutlers. There formerly existed a hard, the fourth part of a sou. This coin has entirely disappeared. It was at all times scarce, but it was used in reckoning. For instance, a minor article, say an apple, of the value of a sou and a half, was reckeued at the price of 51 ligdo, Va. liard was like a thin piece of tin, and had an inscrip tion. The centime is a beautiful little coin, and, when new, so resembles a gold sfr. piece that it has often been mistaken for one. It is more chiefly used by bakers. To pay for a pound of the best bread at the present price you require four sous and a fractional part of a sou. Tradesmen who deal in articles of small value amounting to sous only are above the ideas of centimes where the amount is to be divided into two, but they take advantage of the difference, and thus to pay the half of anything which costs, say, nine sous, they charge you five sous. Centimes are sometimes required at the Post office to pay for the postage of printed matter. The postage charged for the circulation of The Sun sent to any part of Paris is five centimes. An extraordinary work is in preparation and will be published at the opening of the Great Exhibition —" Paris ipar ses Illustrations." Victor Hugo is engaged to write the preface. The work will be divided into three parts, arts, science, life. M. Thiers is to write the history of the Legislative Body ; M. Miehelet that of the College of France ; M. Gautier will describe the Louvre and its treasures ; M. Paul de St. Victor will treat of the architecture of celebrated hotels ; M. de St. Beuve will write about the French Acadmy ; M. Roqueplan, about theatres ; and M. Varquerie about the Drama in general. Madame George Sand will have her say about the Bois de Boulogne. The artists engaged for the illustrations are Meissonniei, Gavarni, and Gustave Dore. The work will be got up with great splendour, and will probably be worthy of the occasion. Tht Grand Duchess Maria of Russia has left Paris for Italy by way of St. Gothard. It appears from the official statistical tables that, from the Ist of April to the Ist of July last, there were born in Paris 13,405 children, and that the number of males exceeded by 263 that of females. Of these of 13,405 children, 9,601 were legitimate, and no less than 3,854 illegitimate. Of the latter 960 were acknowledged. During the same period the number of marriages contracted was 4,877. The deaths during those three months were 11,114, of whom 5,608 were males. Of the total number 5,139 were born in Paris, and 5,975 out of Paris. The average number of deaths was 122 a day. The consumption of food and drink during this period was as follows :-810,643 hectolitres of wine in barrels, 5,134 hectolitres in bottle, 20,780 hectolitres of spirits and liqueurs, 47,906 hectolitres of beer, 162,199 of oil. Nearly 20 millions of kilogrammes (a kilogramme is 21b.) of meat, beaf, veal, and mutton, and 457,000 kilogrammes of pork, 144,500 dozen of oysters, 980,000 kilogrammes of butter. A marriage has been celebrated at Soissons under singular circumstances. A washerwoman and a soldier, after a courtship of ten years, were to be married more than a month ago. Unfortunately the intended bride committed some offence for which she was sentenced to imprisonment. The soldier, getting impatient, petitioned the authorities to allow her out for a day to be married. The request was granted. Accompanied by the gaoler the loving pair went to the Maire, and from there to the Cathedral, where the marriage ceremony was performed. The lady was then conducted back to prison, and the soldier went home. Last Sunday, however, the term of imprisonment expired, and there was tremendous rejoicing at Soissons upon the PARIS, Sunday Evening. I occasion. One of the most eminent surgeons of Paris, M. Jobert de Lamballe has just died. He was born at Lamballe (Cotes du Nord) in 1799. He was a member of the Academy of Sciences. M. Lamballe had a great reputation for performing difficult operations. He was the author of various medical works. Madame Menotti Garibaldi, daughter-in-law of the General, is now in Paris. She has come to con sult Dr. Nelaton respecting a disease of the lungs. There is a great improvement in the weather to day. The fog has been but trifling, the sun ap peared for a short time, and it was much warmer. Yesterday was a complete December day. Lord Lytton's Varney in " Lucretia." Some curious particulars arc given in .A'otes and Queries concerning the last years of the notorious Thomas Griffiths Wainewright, the " Janus Weather cock" of the London Magazine to which Hazlitt and Lamb contributed. It is pretty generally known that this man—whose art criticisms in the periodical in question, flippant as they were, attracted attention by the dash, animation, and picturesqueness of their style—was transported for having forged the signa ture of his wife's trustee, and that he lay under heavy suspicion of having poisoned more than one person whose lives he bad insured. His subsequent career in Van Diemen's Land, where he arrived in 1836, is not so well known. He became, about the year 1842, an artist in Hobart Town, where, it is said, he twice attempted to poison people to whom he had taken a distaste. As a consequence, he was " dreaded, disliked, and shunned by everybody." A gentleman who knew him well describes him as a man with a massive head, indicating the possession of a large amount of brain ; a square, solid jaw, deeply-set eyes, and " a snake-like expression which was at once repulsive and fascinating. He rarely looked you in the face. His conversation and man ners were winning in the extreme ; he was never intemperate, but nevertheless of grossly sensual habit, and an opium eater." He was " constantly on the very confines of murder," and on one occa sion acted towards a fellow-convict, against whom he bore a grudge, with hideous malignity. The con vict was brought in a dying state into the Hobart Town Hospital, where Wainewright was at that time au inmate. The latter "at a glance detected the fatal premonitory indications, aud, gliding to his bedside with cat-like steps, he hissed into the dying man's ear—' You are a dead man. In four-and twenty hours your soul will be in hell, and my arm will be buried up to that (touching his elbow) in your body, dissecting it.' " This is equal to some of the horrible fancies of Edgar Allan Poe. While in the hospital, Wainewright sent a petition to the governor of the colony, Sir Eardley Wilmot, for a ticket-of-leave, which was refused. In this docu ment—a strange piece of egotism and rambling talk —he speaks of his writings, and begs his Excellency to " grant him the power to shelter his eyes from Vice in her most revolting and sordid phase, and his ears from a jargon of filth and blasphemy that would outrage the cynicism (sic) of Parny himself." To his other vices it is clear that Wainewright added hypocrisy. He died about the year 1852. FRENCII-ENGLISH —An amusing illustration of the sort of blunders which Frenchmen make in writing or speaking English, is afforded by the Interna tional, a journal which, being published in London as well as in Paris, ought to be exempt from such peculiarities. Among the spectacles de Londres, it announces this week " My Husband Ghost" at the Haymarket, " Nursery Chick weed" at the Lyceum, "A sheep in Woslf's Clothing" at the Adelphi, and weeharts and Wives" at Sadler's Wells. After this, the "divine Williams" ought no longer to sur prise us. A HEART OF STONE NOT TO BE CHISELLED.—The following tragi-comic incident is related by a Paris paper. In the street of Cherche-Midi there exists a little eating-house, known under the name of "Cabaret de la Mere Rigault," and much frequented by engravers and sculptors. It is kept by an amiable young widow, who received, a few days ago, from one of her customers, a sculptor, named Auguste R., the following curious letter : " Divine Pebble,—Were you not harder than porphyry or agate, the chisel of my love, guided by the mallet of my fidelity, would have made some impression upon you. I, who have given every form to the roughest materials, had hoped that with the compass of reason, the saw of con stancy, the fine file of friendship, and the polish of my words I should have made of you one of the prettiest statues in the world. But, alas 1 you are but an insensible stone ; and yet you fire my soul, yourself remaining cold as marble. Ilave pity on me. Ino longer know what I say or do. When I have a dragon to sculpture it is Cupid that rises under my chisel. Dear column of my hopes, pedestal of my happiness, cornice of my jay, if you make me happy I will raise to you statues and pyramids. To morrow I will call for your answer.—AUGUSTE." The widow laughed heartily at what she took for a witty joke, and showed the letter to all her customers. Yesterday Auguste R. entered the establishment and was immediately a mark for a shower of compliments on the originality of his letter. Fixing a strange gaze on his friends, he exclaimed, " You make a jest of my sufferings, of my love !" And, becoming suddenly furious, he abused the widow for her perfidy and threatened to kill her.

The Royal Mail Company's steamship Tasmanian, with the above mails, has arrived here. She brings 66 passengers, $697,163 in specie, and 1,163 packages of cargo, chiefly consisting of bark, rubber, cocoa, and cochineal. The Tasmanian left St. Thomas on the Ist of Octo ber, and experienced heavy rains during six days. A hurricane visited the West India islands on the 29th of September. The West India and Pacific Navigation Company's wharf at St. Thomas was cut through by a coal ship and demolished. Several ships went ashore. The St. Thomas dock escaped injury. Her Majesty's ship Buzzard left for England on the 28th. Yellow fever and smallpox still lingered at St. Thomas. Two cases of yellow fever occurred on board the Tasmanian, both proving fatal.

" THE ROMAN LEGION.—The Moniteur of yesterday says :—" Certain journals have announced that the Roman Legion formed at Antibes by the efforts of the French Go vernment, and placed by it at the disposition of the Pope, bore the French tricolour cockade. This information is quite incorrect. The new legion, like all the other corps of the Pontifical army, displayed the cockade and the flag of the Holy Father." DEATH OF THE DEAN OF NORWICH.—We regret to announce the death of the Hon. and Very Rev. George Pellew, Dean of Norwich, of Great Chart Rectory, lielet„ on Saturday, after some months of failing health. The deceased Dean was the third son of Admiral Sir Edward Pellew, afterwards Viscount Exmouth, and was born at Torquay, Cornwall, in 1793. Educated at Eton and Corpus Christi College, Oxford (8.D., 1815 ; M.A. 1818; D.D., 1828), he received holy orders in 1817, and in 1823 became a Canon of Canterbury, where he resided until his appointment to the Deanery of Norwich in 1829. He was an accomplished scholar, and published, among other works, " Life of Lord Sidmouth" and several volumes of sermons. In 1820 he married the Hon. Frances Adding ton, who survives him. The Dean leaves one son, Mr. H. E. Fellow, well known as an active member in all Church movements) and three daughters—Viscountess Sidmouth, Mrs.pgle, and Mrs. Arkwright. THE GUARDS' EIGHT-OAR RACE ON THE THAMES. —On Friday afternoon this exciting match for a silver cup, valued at £5O, given by Capt. Williams, of the Royal Horse Guards (Blue) for competition between crews picked from members of that regiment and the Scots Fusi lier Guards, new quartered at Windsor, took place on the Thames, over a course about a mile and a quarter in length, between tho pleasant village of Bray and Maidenhead bridge. The Royal Horse Guards' boat was steered by Capt. Whitmore, Capt. Harford acting as coxswain to the Scots Fusiliers' crew. The starter was Capt. Adair, late of the Coldstream Guards, Mr. Ford acting as judge. There was a large number of spectators on the river side. The company included the Marquis of Worcester, the Hon. C. R. Carrington, Capt. Fuller, Capt. Winkfield, Col. Ewart, Lieut. Wombwell, Ridingmaster Boswell, Mrs. Boswell,&c.; while about half the members of each regiment were on the ground. An excellent start was made by Capt. Adair a few minutes after 4 o'clock, the Fusiliers at first getting the lead. During the rowing the crews kept nearly together till near the railway bridge, where the Fusiliers made a spurt, but were finally distanced by the Royal Horse Guards crew, who won by about half a boat's length on reaching the winnning post near Maidenhead-bridge. The cup, a very splendid one, was manufactured by Messrs. Thomas, of Bond-street. Both regiments are indebted to Captain Williams for the pleasant excitement afforded by the match, and which was agreeably terminated by a dinner given in the evening at the Spital Barracks by the non-commissioned officers of the Scots Fusiliers to their brethren of the Royal Horse Guards.— Windsor and Eton News. LEECH, DOYLE, AND TENNIEL.—Leech, Doyle, and Tenniel are our last triad of workmen in black and white. The first was supreme in observation and correct rapidity. The second combines originality with high refinement, and wonderful power of seizing and exaggerating the lead ing feature of a face. This probably is great part of the reason why his works always make one laugh so much. Ile is the inventor,we rather think, of mediaeval burlesque caricature (lately revived by others with the greatest spirit in the " Ballad of Brauninghindis" in Punch.) His " Con tinental Tour of Brown, Jones, and Robinson" showed great power over national expressions of face ; and his Derby and Brighton crowds seem to us a good deal better than Mr. Frith's, at a much cheaper rate. Mr. Tenniel is in many respects the most accomplished character draughtsman who is left to us. Like John Lewis, he seems to have learned very much from careful study of animals, at some early period of his career in the way of subtle expression ; and as Puna is in the hands of all adults and " Alice's Adventures" are the delight of all children (and parents), the illustrator of both those works needs little comment from us. It is hard to say how great a loss we have sustained by Leech's early death. Had he been honoured as well as paid—had he been recognised by the Academy as the head of our modern school of domestic character drawing in black and white, he would not have passed away, as he seems to have done, unaware of his great powers and their possible influence for good. We may be said to have lost in him the man of all the world who pro duced the greatest amount of beauty with the least amount of trouble ; who showed the greatest rapidity and the greatest subtlety ; who could create without seeming to know it; who could draw a woman in her beauty, a man in his strength, a horse in his stride ; who could treat degrading subjects without being degraded, and often lift things out of vulgarity or imbecility by humour, or tender ness, or pathos, or righteous indignation, or even sublimity —or by inextinguishable laughter; whose range of feeling was never ascertained or spanned, who drew and delighted old, young, and middle-aged, and never gave a hint of evil pleasure ; and yet who seems to have had no notion but that it was good for him to illustrate the adventures of Mr. Soapey Sponge. --Contemporary ,Review, October uura ber. C~cr~ Dian zymytir HER MAJESTY. BALMORAL, Friday. The Queen went out, accompanied by Princess Louise, and attended by the Marchioness of Ely.

The Queen went out in the morning, a ccore" panied by Princess Beatrice, and drove in the after noon, accompanied by Princess Christian. Princess Louise rode with Prince Arthur, attended by the Hon.

The gillies' ball to the servants and tenants of the Balmoral, Abergeldie, and Birkhall estates, which was to have been given on the day of the arrival ° I Prince and Princess Christian, took place yesterday' . Dancing commenced at half-past 5, at 8 suppe r was served, after which the dancing was resumed/ and continued till near 12. Her Majesty and the Royal family were present' The I l rince of Wales, attended by Major Grey , went to Dover on Saturday morning to receive the Queen of Denmark on her arrival in England. Her Majesty, accompanied by the Princess Thyra and the Prince Waldemar, and attended by O l e Countess of Reventlow, M. de Cu s t ensc hi o ld, M. Jantzen, crossed the Channel from Calais on board Her Majesty's ship Vivid, and arrived o . t Dover at a quarter before three o'clock. Shortly after her Majesty's arrival the Royal party proceeded by special train to London, an d was met by her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, attended by the Hon. Mrs. E.

The Queen of Denmark, the Prince and Princess of Wales, and Princess Thyra, with the Ladies and Gentlemen in Waiting, attended Divine service at the Chapel Royal, St. James's, yesterday morning Drury-lane Theatre. A very crowded.audience assembled on Saturdai evening to witness the debut of Mr. H.

The se l ec ti on of th e part Macbeth was a very courageous act, especially 1 1 during the l a st f or t n i g ht we h ave t wo gen tl em en 0.1 established reputation each alternately taking t he part of the Thane of Cawdor and Macduff---vi i :' Mr. Phelps and Mr. B. Sullivan. Mr. Talbot 15 young, with a well-set figure, an intelligent c 01111• tenance, full eye, and his gestures are expressin and his rendering of it marked by intelligence an taste. With respect to his performance of Macbet h ' it partook of the conventional style ; and on Satur day evening last Mr. Talbot seemed too apprehen sive of not overstepping certain limits he bad marke d out for himself. The dagger soliloquy was we ll given, but in the banquet scene there was a want °i emotion that sent the part down to the ordinal level. We prefer taking another opportunity before expressing a decided opinion 11 P cdi the ability of Mr. Talbot as a tragedian, as W e take it, a first night is not a fair test of the pewe r3 of any artist. However we have the pleasing dill of holding out the highest encouragement to M r ' Talbot ; and we hope it will be our pleasing duty t ° record his complete success. On Saturday evening next the long-promis ed " Faust" will be produced ; and, if rumour can b 0 believed, the piece will rival in splendour all the gorgeous spectacles that have been produced even 3t Old Drury. ADELPHI THEATRE. - - - On Saturday a domestic drama, in four aei g : entitled " Ethel, or Only a Life," was produced 511 this theatre, the play being written, we presuro e ' for the purpose of giving Miss Kate Terry a n asl part. The story is that of an orphan girl, Nvh ° ' left friendless and penniless in the world, endur e° unheard-of trials and temptations. Her career one of hopeless misery. Not a ray of sunshi ne i falls upon her path. First, the son of a retir e ' linendraper, at whose house she has been giv il music lessons, plots her ruin, veiling his pure!: under a promise of marriage. Then a medi ° , doctor makes honourable overtures, but Ethel, though she loves him, rejects him for the other ; where upon Galen sails for Bombay, and is not seen aga7, in England until the closing scene. On discove ri n g the infamous design of her first lover, Ethel WOO him over and retires to a poor lodging in Chelsea' where she ekes out a wretched existence by c ombitv ing the incongruous duties of dressmaker and morn ing governess. One of her friends urges her to no rli a small tradesman in the nighbou r ho o d, w hose high est title to her regard is that he is old and well-to - d o ' Ethel, being on the verge of starvation, seems for 6 t time disposed to admit the validity of this claim; b u on receiving an anonymous letter threatening her with vengeance in case she should marry in that ble quarter, she abandons her third suitor and re signs herself to her miserable fate. So things r e. mains until towards the close of the last act, Vine : : she is engaged to play the piano at an evening Pa r % in a house at South Kensington. She enters o r drawing-room, and the first man she meets is 11 ,, e 0 old friend, the Doctor, who is now married to the linendraper's daughter. Ethel is overwhelmed viv a emotion, for she had hoped that the physician we al renew his addresses to herself. A passionate inti et - - view ensues, but all is over ; Ethel takes her sr . pointed seat, and begins to play a set of quadrilleaj but has not got beyond a bar or two when her W ci droops lifelessly upon the keys, and she falls d ell at the piano ! nal The drama has been taken from the French, a - g individually speaking, it would, in our opinion, b al- 0 been quite as well if it had been left alone, beea ll° it is dull, dismal, twaddling, and intensely do; greeable. It is true that Miss Kate Terry's acting of the part of Ethel is marked by all that charming simplicity and perfect reality that so emin eatit . / 0 distinguishes her impersonations, and to all it 10_. nthe;evident she was doing her utmost for her a whose materials were perfectly unworthy her great ability. With respect to other char aete o they seemed ill to fit the company a t of Adelphi ; Mrs. Mellon had the part of an hood Yorkshire girl, which she did with much spirit, al Miss Furtado that of a rich widow, but our spr i g b :e ' t v little actress in this instance was entirely out of P o element. Mr. Billington, as the son of a retired line draper, had a most disagreeable part; in fact, 00 drama must be pronounced altogether a mistake. is badly constructed, devoid of either wit or ht lol° / ar o and altogether a piece we would much rather not 13 4 seen at the Adelphi Theatre or indeedanyw here e 0 It lasted for four mortal hours, and at the fall of r at curtain there was a great deal of dissent mixed Wil t the applause. If the piece is to "go" at all it o be cut down fully one-half, and then it is very (11-!10 tionable whether the remaining half will attraeb audience such as is usually to be found at the el ) lar Adelphi theatre.
