The Mayor of Oxford having given his annual dinner afforded an opportunity for speech-making, - which will afford interest at this dull time of the year. The entertainment was to the leading per wna ges of the city university and county, and was Very brilliantly attended. The " Health of the City Members,, bein g given, Mr. CARDWELL made an interesti ng speech. After some complimentary remarks respecting the r. g Mayor, on his r e ti remen t ig ht bon' from office, the dilate upon th e ' ne mor t a e e g-ntleman proceeded to events so lately passing around us. A s to the have cause to rejoice th w a ' t ar it in Germany, we I for at one time i t thre ' at s over so soon, in duration the disastrous estn pathising withretidggjte across to rival the Atlantic. While fully yrn Mr. CARDWELL in the satisfaction h expresses at the brief duration of the war, we c annot go so far as he does in believing that a beneficial chap.., has taken place. " We have seen a new Germany arise on the ashes of the old—a Germany which is likely, I think, to exercise a greater influence in the councils of Europe, and I trust that that in fluence will be a beneficial one." If it is it will be something quite unprecedented of late years, for Prussia's influence and efforts have always been on the wrong side. Of course, as here mentioned, England has no jealousy concerning the territorial aggrandisement of foreign countries, only nothing that has taken place in Germany of late has been of ti:natutte to promote the advantage and hap pinem of others, Mr, CARDWELL very truly states that England is " justly confident in its own re sources, material, and wealth ;" but we wish that the Government of which he was so prominent a member had shared his convictions, and not acted as if they were afraid of the resources of Germany. Had they done so Prussia could never have attained that supremacy which she has now unhappily done, and been able to dictate terms to others just as it suits her own arrogancy and self-sufficiency. Mr. CARDWELL is a good statesman, and his re marks and observations are worthy of all attention in many important respects, more especially where he seeks to point the moral of the late war to us. "if we see victories gained more rapidly than the victories of CAESAR or NAPOLEON ; if we see the destinies of empires changed in a war so short in duration that it has been termed a seven days' war; I think it is only prudent for the greatest countries in the world to investigate the causes of these events, and to consider whether they can learn from them any lesson in regard to the future organi sation or improvement of their own material re sources." This is very much to the point, and exactly what we should do, when we ponder upon what has recently taken place. The strik ing advantages which Prussia gained by the forethought and energy displayed by her Ministers in preparing for the war may well cause all red tapists to learn wisdom, and our time-servers to exercise their powers a little more to their own credit and the advantage of the country they pro fess to serve, and whose money they squander at so fearful a rate, that they may draw good from evil, and take the lesson of this German war to heart in the matter of our inefficient, state of preparation for 1 emergencies. Another subject of interest at the present time w as referred to in this excellent speech, namely, the " extent to which men engaged in civil life are de votirg themselves to the study of the military art, and constituting themselves valuable accessories and reserves in aid of the regular forces of the country." The Volunteers have already shown themselves to be deserving of all commendation, and those who are now in Belgium have displayed their "practised skill" in a manner creditable to their own efficiency and reassuring to their countrymen. It is interesting to notico the progress that has been made in the public estimation and appreciation of the valuable addition to the services of the country. In all places, and at all times, when matters of general interest to the community are referred to, the. Volunteers are specially made mention of. The Royal Naval Reserve is also a great element of strength if its appliances are properly made use; of and, as Mr. CARDWELL said, it is most important that each force should be kept in its own separate state in high efficiency, the advantages they possess being very great. As they are chiefly on the defensive, and not on the aggressive side, they are a great make-weight on the side of peace. Another point worthy of consideration in Mr. CARDWELL'S speech was his allusion to American affairs, and side by side with that great Republic, but not in any emulation of it, we are now engaged in constructing a new community by the union of the several provinces of British North America. Mr. CARDWELL deserves great praise for the energy he displayed in furthering this impor tant work, and for the encouragement he had the prescience to afford it. The description given by Mr. CARDWELL of this Confederation is a very just one, and one calculated to inspire confidence in its future. "They will not be of a greatness to com pare with their powerful neighbours, there will be no rivalry, and there will be no jealousy ; but ex tending as they will from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean, with an unlimited territory, with 'a large population, with commercial enterprise, and with maritime cuter- prise, they will constitute no mean community among. the nations of the world." One of the most creditable acts of the late Government was this inauguration of the Confederation in North America, and it is well for them that they can look back upon a work so likely to afford satisfaction for the future, and to consolidate the frontier of the " foremost dependency of the British Crown." Mr. CARDWELL was precluded from adverting to the "vexed questions of the day," but he spoke of the general policy to be pursued in a strain very diffe rent to that which animates those meetings where Mr. BIUGIIT is lord of the ascendant. He said that' it was his sincere and earnest hope that they might address themselves " to questions of that kind in no narrow or party spirit, but in a broad and patriotic spirit, conscious of the vast importance of their proceedings to the future destinies of Eng land, and animated only by a paramount desire to arrive at conclusions which may satisfy public ex pectation and strengthen the institutions of the country." Mr. HENLEY returned thanks for the county members, and made a few interesting remarks. He said that he did not think it advisable to join the present Government, because he deemed it wiser for a man to find out for himself that he was old than to leave it to others to find out that he was not able to do his work. Whatever his opponents may say of him, no one can possibly aver that want of straightforwardness is a characteristic of Mr. HEN LEY'S discourses. Whatever he has to say he always 1 says in a direct manner, without any circumlocution s o a r id ex , ainggeration. adverting Ttoh:;herigfhatet,htohna.tgaent ttlehmesaenentrtuelry_ tainments men of all ranks and opinions came toge u lesson,e s t ion s f o o f r d o i discord, o r d f , t thheat great t “ he r a s w n i without oaurit unimportant alluding secrets of securing all that was valuable was to respect differences of opinion." Referring to the recent changes in Germany, Mr. HENLEY said that all old landmarks had been swept away, and that, therefore, those who now lorded it over others must show their fitness to do so by securing ad vantages to the people. If they did not do so " a fearful day of reckoning would certainly come upon those Princes who had brought about these changes, unless the just expectations of the peoples and of Europe were fulfilled, and the proposed end of the change accomplished." We are glad to meet with so sensible a remark, instead of the encomiums usually bestowed so lavishly upon Prussia just now. The moral has very often been pointed of the neglect and ingratitude with which the most useful public services are too frequently repaid, and every one who has taken the trouble to exercise his memory can at once recall a dozen provincial his torical names. It is, however, somewhat mortify ing to find that although we may have improved considerably in some other respects, we aro still as bad as our ancestors in this, and that wealthy and munificent England does not scruple to avail talentsher soettlfcoiafltrhoeutine,of and labours of men whom she leaves to st arve on the i r. reputation. The story of prejudice, and unwillingness to give an inventor a fair trial, has been told times out of number, but there is even a more disgraceful aspect of the ease than this. It is when the in ventions of men who have devoted the best part of their lives to some great public end are accepted and profited by ; but the inventor himself is so ill-requited that, insteadomfen t h , i it leads being a source of profit and enjoyment, nothing but mortification and disappointment. Such a cue, if the Story is told troy, 40 as yet it remains uncontradicted, is the case of Mr. SNIDER, by whose invention for converting the Enfield rifle into a breechloader, the whole nation is now so largely profiting. It would have been impossible after the experience gained in modern warfare for England to have rested satisfied with her old wea pon. The expense of supplying our entire army with anew arm, and the serious consequences which might result from an inefficient method of conversion, may be roughly estimated without much labour, and the actual saving to the national exchequer result ing from Mr. SNIDER'S admittedly successful design is something to be reckoned by hundreds of thousands sterling. The converted Enfield is generally acknowledged to he superior to that Prussian needle gun, of which we have all heard so much, and we know that in Prussia the fortunate inventor is loaded with honours and re wards. Let us see, then, what reward rich and liberal England has in store for her inventor. Seven years ago the invention was presented to Government, and was, after characteristic delay, accepted and adopted on an extreme scale ; and then; it might be supposed, came the time for re warding the inventor. No such thing. We ma nage matters much more economically than that in England. Mr. SNIDER was told to send in his claims under the three heads of expenditure, ser vices, and invention, and was given to understand that the first two were enough at a time. He esti mated his expenditure and his services at £2,700, not, one would think, a very exorbitant sum. Go vernment, however, thought differently, and re ferred the claim to its solicitor, who advised the offer of £l,OOO ! This the inventor of the converted Enfield accepted, being in reduced circumstances, sick at heart with hope deferred. ' The actual claims being thus settled, we hear no more of the reward due for the invention, and our Administrators, past and present, may congratulate themselves on having saved the public money at the expense of justice, humanity, and national honour. The fact of Mr. SNIDER'S being in bad health, and without the means of subsistence, adds to the hard ship of the case, though in common justice, if he were a CRasus, the Government ought to pay him what his invention is worth. But if he were a CRCESUS, and had dressed up some one else's ideas, he would very likely have been re paid with a peerage and half a million. There may, of course, be two sides to the question, and the in ventor may have been unreasonably exacting ; but as yet the fact remains uncontradicted that the man who has rendered a great public service is left in poverty and sickness, while out of the 12 or 14 millions annually voted for our Army Estimates not one fraction can be spared for the inventor who has excelled the needle-gun. We published on Wednesday a very interesting Letter from Captain ANDERSON, of the Great Eastern, on a subject most congenial to him. His object was to render the honour due to the hearty goodwill and professional skill of the officers and men connected with the memorable expedition in which Captain ANDERSON and his " big ship" played so conspicuous a part. The Liverpool banquet, it is true, was given in honour of all the members of the expedition, and Captain ANDERSON, in his speech on that occasion, endeavoured, he says, to express his sense of the zeal and efficiency of the services rendered ; but, thanks to the late ness of the hour, the press of matter, and the exigencies of the telegraph, the reporters did not think fit to give the world a verbatim report of what the captain said. He complains, half humorously, half indignantly, that they only said he made " a characteristic speech ;" which, as the gallant officer does not profess any peculiar style of oratory, was a somewhat perplexing definition. Perhaps, how ever, they mead that the readiness and cordiality with which Captain ANDERSON gave the credit of success to every one but himself was quite in ac cordance with his character, and in this aspect of the case the commander of the Great Eastern need not complain of the sagacity of the stenographers. He is not contented even with praising the officers in connection with the expedition of 1866, but has a word of commemoration for those who laboured with equal zeal, but less good fortune, in the days when an Atlantic cable was a hope, but not a reality. " No one," he says with kindly courtesy, " can ap preciate more than I can the former efforts on board the Niagara and Agamemnon, with ships so un adapted, and cable appliances so immature, as com pared with the Great Eastern and the cable ma chinery of 1865 and 1866, and 1 hope the officers employed in those former struggles will not do those of the late expedition the injustice of supposing that we claim more than that the opportunity was ours to complete what they had begun." Those former struggles and failures, so far from being profitless, were iu fact mainly conducive to the ultimate success of the scheme, seeing that much was learned from them, the deficiencies and errors in the cables themselves, and in the machinery and management were ascertained, and experience taught that practical knowledge which no theoreti cal science can hope to equal. Staff-Commander MORIARTY, one of the officers of the Aga memnon in the former expedition, took part in this one, and gave Captain ANDERSON very useful assistance. The most gratifying testi mony is borne by Captain ANDERSON to what he calls " the cheerful zeal" of Captain COMMERILL, of the Terrible. We can fancy how welcome was the cheery sailor paying his visits to the anxious party in the great ship with his encouraging " You'll do it yet" when doubt and despondency threatened them. He was not content with words, however, for " What can I do ?" was his oft-repeated question, to be followed, as soon as the want was expressed, by the ready " do it." No less valuable to the conductors of the undertaking was the nautical skill shown by the commanders of the Medway and Albany during the anxious weeks spent on the grappling ground. It was, says the captain, of the greatest importance that the vessels of the squadron should keep always together close enough to begin work whenever it was possible, and yet avoid collision in fogs. "We were often separated by fog, gale, or darkness ; yet whenever the day dawned, or the fog cleared, there the squadron was to be seen converging from different points towards the mark buoy, a small spot looking no bigger than a man's hat upon the surface of the ocean. Unless all had concentrated their minds and watched their ships and compasses night and day no such beau tiful illustration of nautical science could have been possible." The recovery of the lost cable was, in fact, the crowning triumph of the expedition, and many who were sanguine as to the ultimate suc cess of the new line were very doubtful as to the chance of finding the old one. The result has been highly creditable to the zeal and perseverance of all concerned, and Captain ANDERSON may rest assured that the public will not readily forget the services of any of those whose names are associated with the great nautical and telegraphic exploit of 1866. DOCK CORPORATIONS AND THE POOR RATES.—It was stated at the meeting of the Mersey Dock Board yes terday, that the surplus for the current year would have been £70,000, instead of £7,000, had not the board been mulcted in the payment of poor rates and arrears for past Years. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Thursday Evening. The Moniteur states that General Lebceuf, in concert with the Austrian military authorities, was present at the evacuation of the fortresses of Pes chiera, Mantua de Leguand, and Palma Nova. These different places were consigned by the Aus trian Commander into the hands of the General, who then delivered them, in the name of the Empe ror, to the care of the Municipalities. This double operation was effected with perfect order, and in the four cities in question the Municipalities charged General Lebceuf to convey to the Emperor the ex pression of their homage and gratitude. The official paper also publishes a letter from Berlin, dated October 1, which states that recent events will give a great impetus to the productive resources of Prussia, who will be able to send her productions to the European markets upon favour able terms. The letter adds that Prussia will have possession from the dispossessed Governments of various productive mines, and that she will be able to work the railways under advantageous circum- stances. The French Government has received a communi cation from the Emperor Maximilian, in which he expresses his earnest desire to make any sacrifice to fulfil his engagement towards France, and particu larly to the holders of Mexican securities. In order to effect this object a portion of the Customs Revenue is to be devoted to the payment. A letter from Rome says :—" The malady with which the Empress of Mexico is afflicted has caused the most painful emotion here. The cause of the malady was the disappointment which attended her mission to the Pope, increased by the fatigue of a long voyage. The object of her Majesty's voyage was to arrange with the Pope the basis of a Concor dat, the principal clause of which was to authorise the sale of ecclesiastical property. At the first audience which the Empress bad with the Pope, his Holiness made her Majesty understand that her mission would be a failure. Instead of words of consolation, the Pope spoke with great bitterness of the policy pursued by the Emperor Maximilian in regard to the clergy, and even went so far as to threaten her with the Divine anger. The interview had a very painful effect upon the Empress. On the third day of her sojourn at Rome she went twice to the Vatican, and in the evening an apart ment was prepared for her. It was then she lost her senses. She had an idea that there was ail in tention to poison her, and she would not take any nourishment except from the hands of her lady at tendant. The Empress walked about the streets of Rome with a silver goblet in her hand, and drank water from the fountains. Great sympathy was manifested towards her when she left Rome, ac companied by her brother, the Count de Flandres." The fine weather has again departed. It began to rain at mid-day, and it has rained heavily up to the hour of post. The illoniteur, in a review of the events of the day, says that the evacuation of the fortresses of Venetia continues without incident. Each of the strong places is delivered up to the local authorities. The official paper proceeds to give an explana tion of the policy of the French Government in regard to the events of the Crete. " Affairs there have become appeased. In the presence of the dif ficulties which arose the Emperor remained faithful to the conservative and:progressive policy which he has always pursued in regard to the events in Greece. When the Cretans made known their grievances the French Ambassador at Constantinople was instructed to examine into them and to give as sistance, should their complaints prove to be well founded. The Marquis de Moastier gave his opinion to the Cabinet of Greece with friendly frankness. His advice was received with gratitude. There is now less agitation in the Hellenic provinces adjoin ing Crete, and the Cretans are more disposed to attend to the conciliatory advice given to them by the Porte." The Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne, the French Ambassador to the English Omit, who is now in Paris, will return to London in the course of the week. The chief. event in the fashionable world of Paris is the marriage of the Marquis de Saillant with Mdlle. Clemente de Pre. Ministers and many ladies of title were present at the Church of St. Philippe, where the marriage was celebrated. A paper affecting to give fashionable news says that the head-dress of the bride was " marvellous," and that the Nilette of the Countess de Talleyraud, blue taffetas, covered with Valenciennes lace, was much remarked. General Gontald, aide-de-camp of the King of the Belgians, was among the company, and many eminent personages from Belgium. The journal La Patrie has been purchased by a society of capitalists for 1 , 50 0,000 f., at the head of which were the principal directors of the Credit Fon tier. A letter from Florence speaks of an alliance be tween Prince Humbert and the daughter of the Archduke Albert, Mathilda-Mary-Aldegonde-Alex andra, born on the 15th July, 1845. The autumn steeplechases at La Marche on Sun day 'next promise to be attractive. Twenty-nine horses are entered for the Prix d'Automne (handi cap). For the Free Handicap 25 horses are en tered. Marshal O'Donnell is expected in Paris, some say with an important mission in reference to Spain. I cannot learn anything about it in the quarters where I usually apply for political information. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) SAXONY. LEIPSIC, Oct. 19 At a meeting of 400 members of the National party in this city a committee was appointed, which, in the event of the continued resistance of the King of Saxony to conclude peace with Prussia, is to solicit King William to order new elections of members of the Saxon Chamber of Deputies, who will then have to represent the interests of the people of Saxony as opposed to the particular inte rests of the Saxon Governmeilt. PESTII, OCT. 19, The cholera is greatly diminishing in this city, MORAVIA. BRUNN, Oct. 19 The Emperor has ordered the completion of the Moravian railway system to be carried out with the greatest possible expedition, and the execution of public works in Moravia to the amount of one mil lion of florins during the current year. His Majesty has remitted 10,000 florins to be distributed among the poor of Brunn. Dr. Giskra, Mayor of Brunn, has been decorated by his Majesty with the Cross of the Order of Leopold. PORTUGAL. LISBON, OCT. 18 The King, Queen, and suite went to Oporto this morning in order to be present at the inauguration of the statue of Dom Pedro IV., which is to take place in that city to-morrow. WEXFORD ELECTION. (From a Correspondent.) From the meetings which have taken place at Wexford and New Ross, I think we may safely infer that Mr. Pope Hennessey may be certain of his election for the county of Wexford, and once more appear on the floor of the Rouse of Commons, of which he was for some years, if not a brilliant orna ment, at least one of the most earnest, painstaking, and successful debaters that ever had the good for tune to address the house. We are quite sure that all parties will view with satisfaction such a result, and none more so than the present Government, to whom he was of infinite service when out of power. The Cambridge Music Hall. This well-known and admirably conducted music hall having passed from the hands of its late pro prietor and founder, Mr. Nugent, into those of Mr. G. N. Page, the event was last night celebrated by an inaugural concert. All London knows what a day and night of rain we bad, but Mr. Page's patrons bravely despised any inconveniences on this head, and the hall was well filled. The entertain ments were of the character usually provided at this establishment ; but there were several ac cessions of talent, both in the sentimental and comic departments, to give extra eclat to the occa sion. Certainly the most noticeable feature in the programme was the return to the " operatic selec tion," the leading attraction in the earlier stages of the modern music-halls. A selection from " La Traviata" was extremely well rendered, with Miss Charlotte Grosvenor as prima donna. - The mis cellaneous entertainments followed quickly . on each other, and it is a merit at this hall that hardly a n y interval is allowed to elapse between th e ser ving up of the various musical, dramatic, and sensational dishes. The Cambridge Music Hall has now become a musical institution in the east end of London, and there seems every probability of its maintaining, and even improving, its position in this respect under Mr. Page's proprietorship. Mr. C. Creville, under the new management, retains his old and ably-filled post of musical director. THE G BEAT EASTERN SHIP. —The question "Where is she to be put ?" is still a source of great anxiety and negotiation in Liverpool. The Dock Board having de clined to construct a gridiron in the Alfred Dock, the Great Ship Company have renewed their application for accom modation at some convenient point of the river where the vessel can be " gridded," and the painting, repairs, &c., effectually carried out. The Dock Board have plans of a gridiron on a large scale, which were at ono time rejected by the directors of the Great Ship Company on the score of expense, but the probability is that ultimately a modifica tion of these plans will have to be resorted to if the yowl is to find KG9lllll29clitti9l4 iu tho l4leroeY• THE BOMBAY MAIL. MALTA, Oct. 18. The Ripon left at 8 p.m. yesterday, and the Pera at 9 a.m. to-day. The former may be expected at Marseilles on the 20th, and the latter at Southampton on the 27th instant.

Thouvenel as a loss to the Emperor and the country, and adds—" His name is so inti mately associated with the remembrance of the an nexation of Nice and Savoy to France that his loss will remain the object of well-founded and honour able regret." A Lyons letter of the I4th says :—" This city has just witnessed a demonstration of working men. For a week past it has been announced, with details of a more or less disquieting nature. Yesterday the senator, Prefect of the Rhone, issued a procla mation to the workmen marked by a happy union of firmness and compassion. I purposely say com passion, for the sufferings of the silk weavers aro only too real. M. Chevreau tells them that he is aware that a manifestation is about to be made ; he exhorts them to distrust the devisors of it, and to have confidence in the Emperor ; and he con cludes by offering to meet their delegates in order to come to an understanding as to the measures to be taken to assuage the sufferings caused by the pro longed want of employment. A proposition like this could not but be accepted, and this morning at ten the delegates left the Croix-Rousse for the old town-hall, now become the prefecture. A crowd of not less than from 8,000 to 10,000 men followed and filled all the streets and approaches of the Croix- Rousse and the Place des Terrcaux. The square itself was for a time thronged, but a strong body of sergents do ville took up a position in it and kept the people in the side streets. This great mass of the population, however, raised no cries nor caused any disorder. During this time what took place between the prefect and the delegates? We do not yet know. It is asserted that the men were instructed to ask that a tax should be imposed upon the looms worked outside the octroi barriers, the abolition of the municipal tax on looms within the city, and the prompt opening of great national workshops in aid of the most pressing wants. Of those three propo sitions, the second alone, rumour declares, has been accepted."

Roman 545 - THE CONSERVATIVE HOME SECRETARY.—There is a considerable party in England who are of opinion that it would do certain political agitators and leaders of trades' unions good if they were subj c;cted to the discipline lately established by Governer Eyre in Jamaica. This party was very wroth at Mr. Walpole for the considera tion which he showed to the Reform League, and our comic journals, whose vocation is exaggeration, represented Mr. Walpole as crying ; and, for political ends, phrases equally liquefied have been applied to that interview. The fact is, Mr. Walpole never shed any tears. When he com menced to speak ho paused, as though under emotion, but it was no more than many persons display who break down in a speech under unusual circumstances. So far as he showed reluctance to proceed with measures which must have led to a considerable loss of life, his conduct was to his honour ; and it is bad policy, as well as bad taste, to make an offensive use of a characteristic of sympathy, which public men aro not in the habit of betraying. If such conduct is persisted in, it will come to pass that inso lence and severity in an official will be thought the safer policy. The people who ridicule Mr. Walpole for his sympathy do all that lies in their power to bring the bearing of Sir Richard Mayne into fashion. The people have no interest in this. If the fashion a contemporary has put on, of suggesting that the Hyde-park railings shall be cast into a Niobeian statue of Mr. Walpole, is to be fol lowed by the working class, we shall oblige the Home Secretary to perpetrate some official carnage to prove his nerve. For it requires less courage, in these days, for a minister to commit &i outrage than to hesitate and be hu mane. Mr. Walpole chose by far the most courageous part, and was called to account by his own party for it. It is the interest of the people to respect, and even honour, him for this.— The Working Man. " ENOCH ARDEN" WITH A DIFFERENCE.—A citizen of Atlanta, Georgia, was draughted into the ranks of the Southern army during the war, and went away, leaving his wife to sigh for the end of the conflict. At length the end came, but he came not, and after long waiting she took to herself another husband, and all went merrily with them. Last week, however, the truant spouse suddenly returned. He did not upbraid his wife, was willing that she should continue to live with her second husband if she preferred to do so, but merely insisted on taking his son and going off with him. The mother could not con sent to part with her son. If he would wait till the next morning she would make her preparations, and both she • and the/ boy would go with him. So he waited ; but when morning came both son and mother had flown with the ?woad Imbancl to panto unknown.--4(l iN Irm Era. LITERATURE. Cervantes' Don Quixote. — Illustrated by Gustave Dore. One vol. Pp. 737. Cassell, Petter, and Galpin. A sumptuous volume—ponderous only in a mate rial sense—is this glory of Light Literature. Gus tave Dore de France (or, as we suppose we might rather say, de Paris) and Miguel Cervantes de Saavedra are congenial spirits. They harmonise wonderfully well when brought thus directly into companionship. Pen and pencil, wielded by their hands, dance the wildest fandangocs together over the pages as we turn them-- and we know not which of the two the more extravagantly in an utter abandon of the very wildest eccentricity. Spreading the huge volume open —upon the support of no flimsy reading-desk, but of some substantial table, worthy of the weigh t, we bid adieu to gravity or sadness, to pensive medi tation or to serious thought of any kind upon the instant, nay, in point of fact, until some consider able time after we have shut the massive tome toge ther to recover from the side-shaking laughter of which the book is provocative at almost every turn of the leaf. Four hundred illustrations are here scattered affluently through the glorious letterpress. Four hundred drawings from about the most rapid pencil surely in all Christendom—the pencilof Gus tave Dor6 ! A daringly imaginative artist, who, al though as yet in the very flower of his manhood, has illustrated thus abundantly and enduringly such widely contrasting works as the Holy Bible, as Dante's " Divine Comedy," as this very work before us of Cervantes' " Don Quixote," and among others again of such a preposterous book as the anonymous " Adventures of Baron Munchausen." No wonder with a pencil so free, so bold, so untiring, so ambitious, that this young French draughts man has won his way well to the front already. If his repute required justification, as being, in truth, thoroughly well deserved, it would be sufficient to turn over the leaves of merely a very few chapters of his illustrated edition of the Holy Bible. Apart from that—his opus magnum as an illus trator—." Don Quixote" is almost sufficient for the same purpose—that is, in the way of affording that same kind of justification. The English version of the work —carefully edited, in the revision of the text of it, by J. M. Clark, M.A., and preceded by a brief but adequate biographical notice from the pen of T. Teignmouth Shore, M.A.—has been issued from the press as a veritable edition de luxe by one of the great popular publishing houses of the day—that of the Messrs. Cassell, fetter, and Galpin. On its production they have manifestly lavished all the resources of their immense establishment. The Bible Dictionary. Two Vols., pp. 1141. Cassell Petter, and Galpin. Another costly publication by the same house, but one of a very different character from the work just noticed. Designed for the bookshelves as a work of reference, and, as such, appropriately clad in serious, even sombre, binding, the " Bible Dic tionary" forms a striking contrast, even in its exter nal appearance, when placed side by side with the gorgeously emblazoned bevilled binding of Dore's " Don Quixote." Divided into two weighty volumes —the first ranging from Aaron to Izri (pp. 573)_._ the second from Jaakan to Zuzims (pp. 568)—the Dictionary under notice is embellished with a pro fusion of eminently u seful explanatory woodcuts, distributed in amongst the letter-press, to the num ber of very nearly six hundred engravings. Taking the information here compacted together as a whole, it is, of course, indisputable (Thais cela va sans dire) that scarcely two individuals out of the entire population of these islands could anywhere be found who would pronounce it to be orthodox. Yet what marvel can there possibly be in that—remembering what was said of this country, so wittily, nearly a hundred years ago, by Marie Aeouet de Voltaire, when he spoke of England, with his ineffable sneer, as that laud of a hundred religions and one sauce. Setting aside all ques tion as to the work's having any value at all upon doctrinal points, it is full of interest, and of value, and of perfectly reliable information of various kinds—geographical, historical, archaeological, philo logical, and otherwise. Christian's Mistake. By the Author of " John Halifax." One Vol., pp. 320. Hurst and Blackett. A charming new edition of a very charming tale is this reprint of Miss Dinah Mulock's affecting story, entitled " Christian's Mistake." As a frontis piece embellishment, F. Sandys has depicted Chris tian herself, pausing for a moment, with a sorrowful expression of 'countenance, upon the staircase, whence she is watching Lord Uniacke as he saunters. cigar in mouth, to and fro in the distant river-side avenue. As the new volume added to the Messrs. Hurst and Blackett's well-known Standard Library, the book is particularly noticeable, because of a change in the general appearance of it, in the bind ing and tooling, in the paper and typography—in all but the size, which is pretty much the same as that of the preceding volumes. Coming to us under any shape, however, the work could hardly fail to be acceptable as the welcome reprint of a general favourite. FUN'S THIRD VOLUME—that is, Vol. 111. of the New Series, but Vol. X. of the Old Series —more than sustains the repute of Toni Hood as the alter ego of Fun, or, in other words, as Fun's head joke master! As we have already before now remarked, he is there indisputably as the right man in the right place, as the round man in the round hol e , or as the square man in the square. Ever since he took the penny rival of Punch in hand as Editor, he has not only held his own admirably well, but he has raised the excellence of the whole publication, alike among its writers and among its illustrators.

Her Majesty was accompanied by Prince and Princess Christian, Princess Louise, and Princo Arthur. Tho suite consisted of the Duchess of Roxburghe, the lion. Emily Cathcart, Sir Stafford Northcote, Lieutenant-General the Hon. Charles Grey, Colonel Ponsonby, Major Elphinstone, Mr. Sahl, and Dr. Robertson. The royal party drove to Sallater, where a special train was in readiness, which conveyed them to a temporary station at Inchmarlo, where her Ma jesty was received by Sir James Burnett, Lord Lieutenant of Kincardineshire, and Mr. Davidson, of Inchmarlo, through whose ground the royal party proceeded to Invercaunie. On arriving at the reservoir the Queen was re ceived by Sir Alexander Anderson, Lord Provost of Aberdeen, and the Police Commissioners (by w hom the works were undertaken), the Earl of Kintore, Lord Lieutenant of Aberdeenshire, the members for Aberdeenshire and Kincardineshire, and many of the gentry of the neighbourhood. A detachment of the volunteers of the district mounted as a guard of honour. After the delivery of a prayer by the Rev. Mr. Hutchinson, minister of the parish, the Lord Pro vost of Aberdeen presented an address to the Queen, who was graciously pleased to read an answer. Her Majesty then turned a watercock (which ad mitted the water into the reservoir), and declared the works to be open. At the conclusion of the ceremony the royal party returned by the same route to Balmoral. On passing Inchinarlo-house her Majesty was graciously pleased to accept a bouquet, presented to her by Miss Davidson. The Queen drove in the afternoon with Prince and Princess Christift.n. Princess Louise and Prince Arthur, attended b 7 the Hon. Emily Cathcart and Major Elphinstone, rode to Ballater, and paid a visit to Dr. and Mrs. Jenner. Sir Stafford Northcote had the honour of dining with the Queen and the royal family. The 'Sheriffs' Inaugural Banquet.

Perke, M.A. The loyal toasts having been duly honoured, gr• Sheriff LYCETT proposed " The Health of the Lord Mayor," which was responded to by Mr. Alderma n FINNISS, in the unavoidable absence of his lordshiP• Mr. AldermaLWATEnLow then gave " The Hous e of Commons," coupled with the name of Mr. Al- derman Lawrence, M.P., who, in returning thanks , said that that assembly was hilly prepared to take into its consideration the necessity for extending the basis on which it existed. It would not become him to express an opinion upon the subject at such., a momont as the present, b u t h e m i g ht b e p erm itted to observe that there could be no doubt that the house would meet the wishes of the people in a fair and prosperous manner. There were other questions however, which would be pressed forward in the House of Commons, and brought to a satisfactory conclusion ; as, for instance, the education of the people, the homes of the people, &c. —question o which he was quite sure would be discussed in such a manner as to cause the benefits arising from them to be fairly distributed amongst all classes of the community. Mr. Sheriff LYCETT proposed " The Mayor, Al; dermen, and Corporation of the City of Worcester, of which city the hon. gentleman expressed himself proud to be a native, and intimately connected with its manufacturing interests. The MAYOR of Worcester, in returning thanks , alluded to the exertions which had been made by Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Waterlow to improve the dwellings of the poor, and stated that be most cor dially coincided with him in those praiseworthy efforts. Mr. TITE, M.P., proposed " The Health of the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex," observing that, as far as Mr. Alderman Waterlow was concerned, he was quite sure that there was no one in this room, no one in the City of London, who did not highly approve the exertions he had made, and was still making to improve the homes of the poor. He (g r ' Tito was at the same time happy to testify to the merits of Mr. Alderman Waterlow's father, val e was present on the occasion, and who had alway s identified himself with movements for the benefit 01 ' , the poor. The office of sheriff was an ancient office' It existed before that of the mayor, through th e worst time and under the worst form of goverir ment, and it had always maintained the rights an privileges of the City of London. In reference tie Mr. Sheriff Lycett, the hon. gentleman said that by the aid of his own exertion s , h e h a d b ecome one e the merchant princes o f th e Ci ty o f London, and was fully entitled to the honour which his feller" citizens had recently conferred upon him. (Cheer° The Sheriffs respectively acknowledged the ewe pliment, Mr. Alderman Waterlow expressing the great pleasure he felt at the fact that his father, t . o . whose good example he was greatly indebted for 131 7 success in life, had been spared to sit beside hiin 01 ' this (to him) most interesting occasion. " The Magistrates of the City of London" w as the next toast given, and Mr. Alderman Copela nd returned thanks. _ _ Other toasts followed in succession, and the ell tertainment was brought to a close shortly before 11 o'clock.
