Alfred trans lated Boethius ; Henry VIII. indited theological pamphlets ; the First James of Scotland was dis tinguished as a poet ; the First James of England wrote a diatribe against tobacco, which displayed more learning than wit in the Solomon of his age. The Emperor Charles V. indited his autobiography amid the solitude of Yusote. It is in no solitude, but in snatches of busy hours at the Tuileries, in the distraction of Compiegne, the oft-disturbed leisure at Biarritz, under the burden of all the cares of state, and while charged with supreme direction and con trol of the foreign and domestic policy of a great empire, that Napoleon 111. has written his Life of Caesar. The life of the greatest man of ancient times is fitly indited by one of the greatest of modern times. After the lapse of nearly 19 centuries the life of Julius Caesar has yet to be written. Greek and Roman, the historians who first wrote of him were too near to his day to be able to form a dispassionate estimate of him. If the sage of Chzeromea had the advantage of oral tradition, the modern writer is instructed by the collective wisdom, the calm and impartial reflection of intelligent men during all the years that have succeeded the death of Caesar. And yet even now the very greatness of the man must bewilder the judgment of the historian. If to those of his own day he seemed to have risen up on a sudden, some vast and superhuman demon who, with his single right arm, gathered up the liberties of Rome, and the allegiance of three con tinents which comprised the world of the ancients, to our imagination he was scarcely less, but " bestrode the narrow world like a Colossus," and was so far superior in his achievements to all others of his day that we are dazzled at the brilliancy of his figure, and unable to estimate his acts by reason of their magnitude. It is far easier for a soldier like Napoleon 111. to describe with accuracy, and trace out in all their interesting details, the wars of Cwsar, than for a politician like Napoleon 111. to appreci a te to the satisfaction of all men the political career of one whom, not without reason, he regards as in some measure the prototype of his uncle. It is pro bable enough that the Emperor will regard this part of his subject from a different point of view from that which Englishmen will be inclined to take. He will take rank with a school of historians which, though comparatively rare among us, numbers as its disciples some eminent writers of our time. It is a school which takes account of the facts which have been accomplished rather than of the things which ought to have been done in history. It takes the result as evidence of the feeling which produced it, and justifies this feeling as an impulse of the human race. Success is the measure by which the charac. ters of history are appreciated, and the rule of ab stract right is set aside as inapplicable. The prepon derance of great men, the inherent right to cora. mand of the commanding intellect, is not only re cognised but elevated into a sort of religion. Great men become the leaders, pioneers, the prophets of mankind. Wherever they point it is the duty of others to follow. There is much to be said for this philosophy, and more against it. It is most in favour abroad, and in England it finds acceptance with Froude and Carlyle. But to most Englishmen it seems, and will always seem, that there is a right and a wrong in all the events of history and the deeds of great men; that in every case right ought to triumph, and if it should not, so much the worse for the nation which allows it to be worsted. Julius Caesar threw the Roman commonwealth, subverted a consti tution not very unlike our own. Few can doubt that to attain the supreme power was the settled purpose of his life. It is no excuse for him that Marius and Sulla attempted the same before him. It is no apology for his ambition to urge that a worse tyranny than his followed his death, for no man has a right to pin the . fate of a people to his own. We date the decline of Rome from her great civil war. Napoleon 111. may be of opinion that had Caesar lived he would have founded the Roman polity on so secure a foundation that it would have withstood the irruption of the barbarians. It is in accordance with national instinct that while we prefer Cicero as a model, the French look to Caesar. CEesar,while he lived, was a success from first to last. Cicero, living and dying, was'a failure. We do not wonder that the cause which pleased the gods finds favour with Napoleon 111., though the conquered found acceptance with Cato, and still claims our suffrages. jWe do not, then, expect that the Emperor of the French, like Plutarch, will visit with sex erity the ambiguous passages in th e p o liti ca l career o f hi s hero. Cultivating the f avour o f th e p l e b e i ans b y .profuse largesses, that he mi g ht ma k e use o f th e i r influence against the patrician order—setting up against Sulla the images of Marius, arraying against Cicero the eloquence of the licentious Clodius and the memory of Cataline ; setting Pompey against Crassus, and, when Crassus was dead, himself against Pompey ; climbing higher and higher to office and power, first on the shoulders of the peo ple. and then on the arms of his soldiers—the whole history of Caesar is that of one who had determined at all costs to be first in Rome. When still a young man he was moved to tears at the exploits of. Ale xander, and determined to emulate them. Those who render the fullest justice to his noble qualities are at a loss to justify the ambition which drew all men, and Rome itself, into its vortex. The Impe rial historian grapples boldly with this difficulty at the outset. Suetonius, Plutarch, and all other historians, have failed utterly to understand, he says, the representative character of the man. He was the genius, the guiding star of an epoch whom to see should have been to follow—to hear to obey. " When countries produce such men as Caesar, Charlemagne, Napoleon, it is to trace for peoples the paths which they are to tread ; to mark a new era with their stamp ; to do the work of centuries in years." Look ing at matters from the Imperial standpoint we can understand this view, and we shall be much interested in noting the manner inwhich it is carried out through the eventful history of the great soldier who, when saluted as King, said proudly that he would rather be Caesar. It is reported that the Emperor Napoleon has taken the greatest pains to verify the exact loca lities of Caesar's battlefields. This part of his work is likely to be of the greatest value to stu dents of history and to the lovers of military science. We may expect an interesting description of Autun, the ancient Bibracte, where he overthrew the Helvetians ; of that plain by the Rhine across which he pursued Ariovistus, King of the Germans, and of his passage of the river on a subsequent occa sionttfilienofaGl alu r s i near Cologne. We shall have the scene gA tl a i m a m t bedi a oux f h ea i feast de scribed of that great battle in the Forest of Hain -1 1 im, days aldh was tho ve e topography the , b proclaimed raveo, f in A lise Rome th e ; ault, where he made such a slaughter of the Nervii that field in the modern Lyonnais, where he defeated ancient . Alexia of the Commentaries, where' he Vercinge torix. Next will come the great civil war. The . localities of Arimnium and the Rubicon, Brundu slum. , and . Pharsalia, will be illustrated by the Im perial historian. Nor will Egypt be forgotten, nor the Syrian field where Caesar ~ came, saw, and conquered ;" Pharnaces, nor the scenes of the campaign in Africa against Cato and Scipio, and that in Spain against the hapless sons of the dead Pompey, We shall, lastly, have the history of the short Dictatorship in Rome, the alterations in . the laws, the reformation in the calendar, the great works which, like other mighty princes, Caesar had in view, such as the cutting through the Isthmus of ' Corinth, the deepening of the Tiber, the harbour at J Ostia, the draining of the Itali a n Marshes. His • death will be an opportunity for the indignant ; eloquence of his biographer. When Caesar died the 1 sun is said to have paled, and a comet, visible by day, hung over the city. When Napoleon died a mighty storm shook the rock of St. Helena to its foundations. Like Caesar, he was a mighty conqueror, a man of almost superhuman in tellect, of boundless ambition, and of great aspirations. Caesar was slain by his enemies ; Napoleon was exiled. As the ne ph ew of Napoleon the living Emperor may be com pared to Augustus. In a literary point, at all events, he is vocitri, Ca)saris ultor." Trusting that the world will long be enlightened by his researches, and France enjoy for many years the order and material prosperity which she has at tained to under his government, there is scarcely an Englishman living who will not heartily greet him with " Serus in ccelum redeas," the Horati a n o r Roman way of say i ng, "May you live for ever."

SPIRIT OF TEE PUBLIC JOURNALS, TIMES. —Nothinc, can be better than the spi r it i n which the st a t e of ' lreland has been debated in the House of Commons. There-has been no invective and recrimination, very little acrimony in statement, or flippancy in reply. The Irish people must ac knowledge that there is in the British Parliament a readiness to listen to whatever complaints may be brought before it, and to discuss them with a sin cere desire to do good. But we fear they must make the most of these good wishes, for until some more [practical scheme for relieving their dis tresses be presented for consideration they will re ceive little but barren condolence. The debate last night was remarkable for the absence of any serious attempt to charvs the alleged miseries of Ireland to Imnerial misgoy o . 7ament, and by the authority which was arrayoirthe other side. It - is, indeed, an advantage that at last we should have had a comparatively fair and temperate discussion on Irish affairs, in which the principal Irish members and some of the leaders of each party in the House have taken part, and that on the eve of a general election everybody should have had his say on the state of the country. The result is What has been generally the case in these discussions. The vague complainings which pass unchallenged on the hust ings or the platform fail to meet the test of a Par liamentary debate. Seldom, however, has this been made so manifest as on the p resent occasion, for with every year the knowledge which En g li s h mem bers possess of Ireland increases, they are sapable of judging for themselves how far the evils com plained of really exist, how far they arise from tem porary and how far from abiding causes, and how far it is in the power of legislation to remedy them. One feature, too, in this debate deserves notice. It is the clearness of conscience with which the House of Commons comes to the consideration of Irish questions. Both sides of the House know that though there may be Irish discontent or Irish un happiness there are now no such things as Irish wrongs. For thirty-six years the Liberal party has laboured in removing everythin g of which the Irish man could complain with justice that it restrained his liberty, wounded his pride, or harmed his inte rests. The Conservatives have acquiesced in this policy, and under the enlightened guidance of the late Sir Robert Peel carried out the new principle of equality of race and religion. The old animosities may remain in the country. Orangeman, Catholic, Loyalist, and Fenian may eye each other with dis like ; but the House of Commons can afford to listen to each with calmness, knowing that it has done to the best of its power substantial justice between them. This feeling was manifested in the reception of Mr. Roebuck's speech. The cheers which greeted his pithy observations could liot have been given in days when each Member felt that there were evils in Ireland which man had caused, and which man could remedy. Ireland may complain as usual ; her Members may want the Sha nnon d ra i ned, or a Transatlantic steam company subsidized, or they may complain of the Chief Secretary, and denounce his pictures of prosperity as fictions ; but they can not seriously deny that " now at this present moment Ireland is as well governed as any one of the three kingdoms." The law is as well administered as in England or Scotland ; the Judges are chosen impar tially from among Catholics and Protestants, and at present the great majority are Catholics. Every Irishman has just the same liberty in his own country as an Englishman has here, and when he comes among us he stands on a perfect equality with the natives of this island. The taxation in Ireland is not heavier, we believe it is not so *heavy in proportion to its resources as in Great Bri6in. In fact, the' injustice of England to Ireland is a mere tradition, which has come down from days when all varying races and opposing creeds were systematically un just to each other; and it lingers, because it fur nishes an easy subject of declamation to popular speakers, and an easy solution of political questions to hasty thinkers. Happily, this topic is now so worn out that there has been hardly any attempt to use it in the late debate. England is not denounced, she is only supplicated ; it is not the perpetration of some wrong which is complained of, but only the failure to perform an alleged duty. Parliament is to express a regret at the falling off of Irish population, and then to set to work to " stimulate" the industry of those who remain. This was the subject on which th© House of Commons had to pronounce an opinion last night, and it is satisfactory to find that at last this matter also is examined calmly and reasonably. The decision of the house was but the natural result motion, and these were m' of the weight of the speeches delivered against the minds, that the evil s which has gradually mad fl o u f e lr nc e e la d nd by ar t e h o e w o in pin g i n on ot , made its way to all unpreju diced English injustice is the to Es w ta hi b e l to political but to physical and economical causes. The only thing existing mal contents of Ireland can now • time shall come, it is' Eh stablished p c o i li mr tic n a h l ; and point as an instance of though we desire not to sa of Ireland.

That Ireland is still unpros perous we must accept on the nearly unanimous testimony of it s representatives. Sir R. Peel denies the fact ; b ut the succession of three bad seasons gives re ason for believ i ng that there has been an absolute retrogression in some parts of the country, and that the prosperity which was bud ding some few years back has been for the present blighted. But the more clearly it is shown that not religion or party feud, or undue taxation, but simply the rains and mists of the Atlantic have caused this distresS, the more easy is it for the House to come to a decision. How can it formally express its regret for the decrease of a population which is clearly too large to be fed sufficiently? As Lord Palmerston observed —the complaint a few years since was that popu lation was redundant. Certainly, before 1847 it was commonly declared that Government ought to aid in establishing the Irish peasant in the Colonies so as to relieve the pressure on the supply of food. What the nation could not do has been done by the natural progress of events. The Irish difficulty of twenty years since has to a great extent disappeared now, because two millions and a half of the Irish population have emigrated. Between five and six millions still remain, but even these have a struggle to subsist on the fruits of an agriculture carried on in a most ungenial climate. The land can only-maintain its population by the growth of cereals, and these it can never be trusted to bring to perfec tion. The great evil is the dependence of the popu lation on the land alone, which is itself the conse quence of the lack of industrial enterprise. If Ire land spun or wove, if, instead of one B e l fast, it had half-a-dozen, there would be no flying of the people from its shores. We cannot give a new climate; we geological formations.

Whether it be for the draining of the Shannon or the establishment of a factory in a Munster town, the great obstacle will be found in the fear man of combination to de prive him of his profits, or conspiracies to rob him of his life. Englishmen may exaggerate the lawlessness of the Celt, but undoubtedly they have w to hi private thhan nt e s nte e r v p e r r is y e some cause for their distrust, which it will be for the benefit of Ireland to diminish. HERALD.—The " History of Julius Caesar" from the pen of no less a person than Napoleon 111., is a work of such extraordinary interest that we cannot wonder that every one is looking forward with eagerness to the appearance in all the great capitals of Europe simultaneously, and in almost every civilised language, of a book which concerns the present as much as the past. This natural curiosity has been redoubled by the publication of the preface, in which the Emperor is at some pain to confirm the correctness of the surmise which has been hazarded in many quarters, that it is his in tention to establish a parallel between Caesar and the First Napoleon. The modern era has been pro- PRICE 4d., STAMPED scl. Meeting of Ladies at London House. esterday afternoon a meeting of ladies was held in the drawing-room of the Bishop of London's town residence in St. James's-square, in connection with the " Ladies' Diocesan Association," which has been established for the metropolitan see. There were present, amongst many others, the Countess of Rothes, Lady Mary Wood, Lady Camilla Fortescue, Lady Colebrooke, Lady Georgiana Russell, Lady Mary Farquhar, the Hon. Miss Campbell, the Hon. Miss Spring Rice, the lion. Emma Talbot, the Hon. Mrs. Way, Mrs. W. E. Gladstone, Miss Burdett Coutts, Mrs. Goschen, Mrs. Humphrey, Mrs. Kempe, Miss Oldfield, Mrs. W. H. Fremantle, Miss Eardley, Miss Twining, Mrs. Tait, Mrs. Charles Buxton, and Mrs. M‘Garell. Prayers were said in the chapel, after which the ladies assembled in the drawing-room. The Bishop of LONDON addressed them at some length on the objects he desired to be carried out by their association. He recapitulated what had taken place in connection with such works in past years, dwelling upon the benefits which had arisen from the connection of past work with their present effort, and the influence which had been brought to bear upon those who had hitherto done a little in a desultory sort of way, but who had by co operation been able to join in the furtherance of greater ends. Proceeding to notice various insti tutions which were worthy of suivort, he spoke particularly of one which was prominently re commended in the annual report of the com mittee of the Bishop of London's Fund—that of parochial mission women. Ladies had made great efforts in that direction before, but their work was now prospering far more than it had hitherto done, in consequence of co-operation, the work being now carried on by means of a regular organisation. Hitherto a great many small institutions have been established for affording assistance to the sick and destitute, and, though they had done a great work, what they accomplished amidst the wretchedness and misery which exisited was like a drop in the ocean. Now, means had been taken to enlarge these institutions, and a much more important character had been imparted to them. He would next advert to the Hospital for Incurables, and the Home in Ormond-street, the objects of which he explained. In the next place he referred to the Refuge which had been establishtd in Newport-market, the prin ciple of which he announced to be not only to afford temporary relief to the destitute, but, by its connec tion with the House of Charity in Soho-square, to endeavour to provide the poor with occupation and employment which probably they could not other wise obtain ; for such persons had, as it were, fallen out of the chances of employment. He attached very great importance to the connection between these two very useful institutions, for they seemed to point out the model on which all houses of charity and homes ought to be con ducted. One great result of the exertions of ladies in this direction was that a considerable number of young Women had been able to emigrate, and thus permanently to establish themselves in a respectable position in life ; while the carrying out of their principles seemed to him to be a safeguard against unpractical efforts, for, by combining the exertions of those who could give time, they effectually pro tected themselves against desultory and ineffectual schemes. There was also in what had been done for needlewomen much cause for congratulation. So much had been said on the subject that it seemed to be wholly exhausted, but a crisis had now arrived. There was less . demand than formerly for the ser vices of needlewomen, owing to the introduction of machinery. By the use of the sewing machine, young women could now earn from 12s. to 20s. a week. This was a healthy state of things for those who *ere allictuktain . employment; but then it was.. clear that a much less amount of employment would be left for those who were not so active, or so intel ligent, and it would be one part of their duty to en deavour to prevent such persons from sinking into a hopeless state of poverty. Such changes oc curred in other branches of industry —amongst the weavers, for example, when machinery was in troduced, and that class seemed to have a strong claim to a helping hand. A society for the employ ment of needlewomen had been established, and many hopeful signs in connection with it had been brought out lately at a meeting of the City clergy. One object was to procure sewing machines for young women ; and another was to assist those who were too old to learn, by finding out some other work for them during their period of transition. (The bishop explained that the object of the society —of which the Hon. Mrs. Way and the Hon. Miss Percy are secretaries, and which is situate at 22, Bunhill-row, Finsbury-square--is to obtain orders from ladies for ready made clothing, to procure work from shops, or to get employment for such women as are capable of other work in any way which may present itself through the exertions and recommendations of friends.) From what had been done, and from what was now going on, it was satisfactory to them to know that new and larger efforts had been produced, and that fresh exertions had been made in consequence of the excellent examples which had been set in every direction. An other institution he wished to commend to attention was a working man's institution at Knightsbridge. It might appear that men were more fitted than ladies to give support to such societies ; but ladies had more tact and influence in dealing with men, and their aid, therefore, in this case would be most valuable. Other institutions he might mention were orphan houses and Queen Charlotte's Hospital, and with regard to the latter he thought it was most ad visable to provide some security for those who came out of it against relapsing into the habit of sin which had taken them there. Another instance pre sented itself in the case of a lady who had offered £5O a year towards the maintenance of a clergy man in an East-end parish, and who had mani fested her interest in the locality by visiting, and by general personal co-operation with the clergyman in his work. Another lady, who was unable to leave a sick bed, had nevertheless been of great use in promoting a society for the education of orphans. With regard to the coming year, he would especially mention the visitation of hospitals and workhouses. In speaking of hospitals, there were many reasons for thankfulness in the re forms which had been effected in them—amongst others, by Miss Nightingale, who, although now on a sick-bed, was as active as when in health to im prove their condition. One of the most melancholy , features in connection with both hospitals and work houses had been the character of many of those persons who had been employed to nurse the sick and the dying. A careless person by a sick-bed was a sad sight. A selfish person in such a position was a sad sight, but how much worse was it when Persons of an infamous character were found actually by the death-bed ? It was owing very much to Miss Nightingale's labours that such great improvements had been secured in this respect.ben e Opportunities for the visit of lady nurses had ity presented in King's College Hospital, in University College Hospital, and others ; forb but the sphere of action was presented not onlyvisiting the sick, but also for taking care of tho se patients who were leaving the hospital. T his was in the case of consumptive p ersons. h per sons especially was the ordinary state of things with valuable What probably the patient was at o m last told p r egard to suc sons ? After several visits was hopeless, and from th e rt hospital she had to mo ve t o comforts and that carea t her of case a ahome, wr etched frequently for the poverty an d ca relessness with there. He re it was which was met that the kind visitors to hospitals might be of th e greatest use in taking such cases in hand —visiting and assisting the sick in their own houses after l eav i ng the hospital. They might also do much by showing kindness to the families of the patients' children who were deprived of the care and watch fulness of their mothers. In consequence of a visit of a lady not long since, a poor German woman, 1 who was- in the workhouse of the parish of St.__ll George's-in -th e -E ast had been restored to her bus- --. baud;' who lived at H am b urg. But for this she- - ;') might have remained there all , her-life the pa to—sen rochial i authorities having no fundsd hilionle• With regard to other work which Was 'especially suitable for ladies, his lordship remarked that it would be a blessed thing if they could succeed in impressing upon young girls the desirableness of a life of honest industry. He hoped that they might be able to carry out still further what had been done in the way of associating ladies with the clergy in the work of densely-populated and poor parishes. i Much might be done by sympathy in these great works. But after all, the work would make very little progress unless they carried it on as a religiou s work, carried it out on Christian principles, and upon the distinct understanding that they were engaged in that great work which their Lord and Master entrusted to them. Such a work undertaken in this spirit, and in perference to what He ex pects, would certainly be blessed by Him ; and, with a view to give it a di s ti nc tly religious character, he would beg of them all to make it constantly the subject that a service in connection with the ladies' association would take place in St. James's Church on the sth of May. The Rev. T. J. ROWSELL, rector of St. Mar garet's, Lothbury, pointed out many districts and places where the services of lady visitors would • be desirable. lie particularly instanced the dis trict of Whitechapel and Charing-cross Hospital, the chaplain of which would be happy to receive any lady visitors between five and seven o'clock - in the evening, when the hospital was quiet. Other hospitals where such visits would be appre ciated were Guy's and the London Hospital in the Whitechapel-road. A LADY said that two were at once required for the Middlesex Hospital. .. Mr. ROWSELL mid the xiorkhouse of St. George's in-the-East was still open, and admission might be obtained to St. Pancras. Mr. Kempe, the rector of St. James's ; Mr. Htunphery, vicar of St. Mar tin's, and other metropolitan clergymen, were very anxious for assistance. Many of the ladies present at once expressed their willingness to undertake new spheres of duty, although most of them, and many who were not able to be present at the meeting, are already ac tively engaged in such work in the crowded and pauperised districts of London. They work zea lously among the afflicted and the poor, and there can be no doubt that their exertions are tho roughly appreciated wherever they go. Their num ber, however, must be greatly increased before the wants of the .metropolis can be at all adequately met. The Burning of the Palace at Brunswick, We have received details of the sad calamity at Brunswick on Friday last, by which the palace was nearly destroyed by fire. The old palace was burned in 1830 during the disturbances which then took place, and the building which has now met with a like fate was erected to replace it by the reigning duke. It was one of the handsomest palaces in Germany. The fire broke out at eight o'clock, soon after the Court ball—an annual festivity—had commenced. About half-past eight his Highness the Duke pro ceeded from his apartment to the dancing saloon, and a short time afterwards the fire broke out in his highness's study. It was at first thought that the fire was not a serious one, and by his highness's wish the ball was not interrupted. Half an hour afterwards it was still thought that the workmen and firemen would master the confla gration, and a great number of those present out side the building entertained the hope that the fire would be confined to a few of the apartments. In a short time, however, the smoke found its way into the corridors, and even into the ball-room, whilst suddenly the flames burst out of many windows in the right wing of that portion of the palace inha bited by the duke. The serious nature of the cala mity was now unmistakable, and those who but a few minutes before were engaged in the pleasures of the dance were obliged to leave the palace with but little ceremony. _ Ladies in their _light ball-droves And on foot were conducted by officers and other visitors to the exterior of the building, where they gained their carriages as best they could. The fire men hastened from all directions, but few imagined how far the calamity would extend. There was a want of water, for the small branch of the Oker, which runs behind the palace, was frozen, and in the palace itself there were no water-pipes.• Mis fortunes also befel the fire-extinguishing apparatus. The hose burst, or would not reach far enough, and in a very short time the whole of the right wing of the palace was a sea of flame. Efforts were made to prevent the fire spreading beyond this wing ; but the fire found its way through the beams under the roof and spread to the centre rotunda. In a short time the ball-room was in flames. The orchestra and the galleries fell together, and all eyes were turned to the beautiful and noble " Quadriga" (a handsome bronze chariot), the masterpiece of Reit schel and Howald, which high above adorned the centre of the palace. Soon light in all colours was seen to surround the noble work, for the melting copper and other metals gave out blue, violet, and other flames. During this time the fire roared, the heavy beams fell with terrific crash, and the large stones of which the building was composed split with a loud noise as they became half-calcined with the glowing heat. And now the Quadriga began to slowly sink. It was seen to disappear by degrees, and then suddenly to fall into the midst of the rotunda. This occurred about half-past eleven. The colossal group sank . majestically, till at last the whole of the roof fell m with it. The fire did not then extend any further; but it raged frightfully in the interior of that part of the palace which it had seized upon. The left wing which was nev er . thoroughl y rebuilt, the nei All ghb th o e ur fi h r o zen ha lv ste ho ned wer t : and of great portion of the interior, consisting of the scene, and towards 12 o'clock a special train ar inswawilisaisansdparethde. rived from Hanover with the fire-engine belonging in roughßr Brunswick to the Gymnastic Society at that place. On the next day the fire was still burning, and occasionally flames burst out of the windows ; but all danger of an extension of the calamity was over. Of the right wing of the palace, and the middle portion, only an empty ruin remains, and from the fearful progress with which the fire spread after a certain period, but little of the valuable contents of the palace could be saved. i s t 0 ibit: causes,a persevere ut beauty cosmeticsof complexion, in o WHY SOME LADIES DO NOT PATRONISE TEE TURKISH BATH.--The bath is not only unfavourable, to, but it actually renders useless and exposes all adven titious aids to the simple, healthful, and beautifying pro ceases of nature.
