Unknown points of view as to Vie soMarity of peoples, as to commercial rights, as to the organi sation of business matters and salaries, dawned upon the practical mind of the Anglo-Saxon race. A new political group took its seat beside the Whigs and the Tories. Henceforth it never quitted the House of Commons. There it acquired its rank, its influence ; there it caused part of its doctrines to prevail. Nor do we either adopt the whole. We narrate the life of Richard Cobden, and we see that it cannot separate itself in anything from that which has been done in this way and in this great econo mic movement. That which constituted the charac teristic of this life was. the remarkable moderation, the sagacious slowness with which Cobden pursued he series of those reforms. Ile first attacked the agricultural monopoly of the great landowners by the Corn Law League, then established the associa tion for financial reform, and, lastly, propagated agitation in favour of peace. From first to last Cobden was the energetic champion of these causes. He was the first to put forward these new theories in the Manchester Chamber of Commerce ; he has since been the promoter of most of the measures -- taken to insure success ; lie advocated them in Par liament with very various fortune, but without his courage and conviction ever being wearied. One special characteristic, and worthy of peculiar admi ration in the man England has just lost, is that Europe and the world have been losers by the same blow. It may be said that he was the type of the true economist, the citizen of the commercial uni verse. Very sincerely attached to British interests, he did not separate them from those of other peoples —he saw the development and greatness of his country in the development and greatness of rival nations, for he only understood the rivalries of peace. It was thus that he passed part of his lif e in travelling from country to country, preach ing—so to speak—his industrial crusade, spreading his doctrines, everywhere trying his favourite arm—persuasion. One day he encountered upon his road one of those universal genii whose powerful hand knows how to cause the word to germinate and bear fruit. Richard Cobden in dying has had the joy of seeing the economic task, so grandly under stood by Napoleon 111., spread its rays through the whole of Europeunder the impulse of a French states man. In this France was faithful to her initiative mission. Richard Cobden knew how to understand her ;he loved France. France will not forget him. /i„2 --k----4,--,-;-K ions for 'hers of uainted e called -.— .. ii:.'4,r4V,"", • ....,,,,,,..:..,,,. ,- ' ''.

This Conipany is incorporated for the purpose of supply ing, under circumstances peculiarly advantageous .to the Shareholders, the great demand for wharves, sites for manu factories, ship-building yards, and graving docks within the port of London, which the natural increase of trade, combined with the removal of existing water frontage by the formation of the Thames Embankment, and other me tropolitan improvements, has created. m en The Company i s i ncorporated by a special Act of Parlia t passed last session, by which is obtained power to acquire a large tract of land at Millwall, consistin_g of up wards of 198 acres of freehold land adjoining the East and West India Docks. This land will be rendered available for the purposes above-mentioned, by the construction within its area of large docks or basins, with access for the largest vessels both from Blackwell and Limehouse Reaches ; so that the de e p water frontage thus created by the works will become immediately valuable in the highest degree for wharves, granaries, manufactories, ship-building yards, and similar purposes ; and, from the water being always kept at high level, the saving of time and cost in all operations of lighterage, loading and unloading, which may be effected without respect to tides, will render this site far more valuable than land abuttine , on the Thames itself. The proposed works will also include the construction of public Graving Docks of the largest dimensions, capable of receiving vessels of even greater size than. H.M. iron clad ship Warrior, and of accommodating H.M. frigate N orthumberland, now building on the premises of the Millwall Ironworks, immediately adjoining this Company's property. It is a remarkable fact that for the immense mercantile fleet of the Port of London there is but one public graving dock on the Thames of sufficient capacity to take in a vessel of even ordinary dimensions. All the other graving docks are in the hands of private builders, who require to execute the works and repairs themselves ; and it is therefore not unusual for ships to be sent from the Thames to Southampton, and even to Liverpool, to be docked for repairs. From the circumstance of the area proposed to be occu pied lying on an average about ten feet below high-water mark, th e wor k s will be executed with unusual facility, the material excavated being used to raise the adjoining land to a convenient level above high-water. The main roads which traverse the site of the proposed works afford good access to them ; and application is being made to Parliament in the present session by the Black wall Railway Company for an extension of the Blackwell and North London Railway systems, by which direct railway communication will be afforded for the whole of the Company's works, wharves, and docks with the entire railway system of England. As a Land Company, the present undertaking has enor mous advantages from the unusual ample powers granted by its special Act of Parliament, by means of which it will become possessed, after appropriating about 56 acres for the Docks and Graving Docks, of upwards of 140 acres, with a water frontage of more than 10,000 feet, and from, 400 to 800 feet in depth—the whole of which, on comple tion of the Docks, will become immediately available for letting, on building leases at freehold ground-rents. Be sides this source of revenue, estimated to produce upwards of £50,000 per annum, the Company will also derive a further large income of about £40,000 per annum, the rents. of the Graving Docks, and from dues and charges from the docks, basins, wharves, &c., making a total estimated re venue of £90,000 per annum. In calculating the estimate of dividends very much will depend upon the mode found most practicable in dealing with the income of the Company ; if the ground-rents should be capitalised and sold as they accrue, and taking them at thirty years' purchase, it is estimated that within a period of five years the capital, including the ad ditional amount intended to be applied for to complete the works, will h ave b een repaid, with a bonus of upwards of 7 5 Per cent., and the revenue of the docks and royalties and dues still be available -for dividend to the Shareholders ; s hould, however, the whole rentals and revenues be main tained in hand, a dividend (after providing for expenses, interest debentures, o n . &c.) may fairly be looked for at the rate of 10 percent, per annum, and, when it is considered that the gprt of this is from freehold ground-rents, the valuable description of the property this Company pos sesses will be at once apparent. The Directors have much pleasure in being able to an nounce that th e w h ole of the works will be undertaken by Messrs. Relk and Aird, the eminent Contractors, and that a contract for the first portion to be executed has been entered into with them, and arrangements made for the PayMent by them of interest during construction of the works at the rate of 6 per cent per annum on the Share capital paid up by instalments, and of 7 per cent per an num on all Shares applied for and allotted as fully paid-up Shares. The interest will be payable at Messrs. Glyn and Co.'s Bank, half -yearly, on 31st March and 30th Septem ber in each year. The first payment will be made 30th September, 1865. It is believed that so sound a scheme, and one which so specially addresses itself to the investor, is seldom brought before the public. The basis of the enterpriee being free hold land an d ground-rents removes from it all character of speculation, so oft en th e leading feature in public com panies ; and as a British and home security it will doubt less be appreciated by those who, while expecting good profits upon their investments, yet look for solid security. An accompanying plan shows the whole of the works as proposed when complete. gCopies of the Act of Parliament and plans may be seen ethe Offices of the Solicitors.

Moscow contains a population of about 500,000 persons. It is situated at the centre of the commerce of the country, with six railways converging within its walls. It is the winter residence of a large portion of the Russian aristo cracy, and the nature of its climate is such as to render the Introduction of gas, both for lighting and warming pur poses, an object of primary importance to the inhabitants. The Kremlin (which covers 250 acres, and includes the Emperor's Palace, the Senate, the Arsenal, and Government Offices), the great Universities, and the Public Schools,will all have to be lighted by gas. From official statistics it appears that there are at present in Moscow about 200 hotels—mostof them very spacious -4,841 inns, restaurants, cafes, cabarets, and wine -houses, where people pass the greater part of the night in winter ; upwards of 100 police posts and stations ; 102 printing offices, exclusive of those belonging to the Government and the Municipality, 27 public baths, 15 civil and military hos pitals, and 27 Government asylums. The German, Eng lish, and Merchants' Clubs, and the Club de la Noblesse, each spend about £250 per month for lighting, and the Government pays annually£l3,6oo for the lighting of the Opera House and the Russian Theatre, and £12,000 for the barracks. In addition to the above-mentioned buildings, and" alto gather irrespective of private houses, there are 17,032 shops, 700 factories and workshops of various descriptions, many of them of great magnitude, and one alone requiring 800 lights. Moscow has hitherto been dependent for artificial light upon portable gas, stearine candles, and petroleum oil. The costliness of these articles and other disadvantages con nected with the imperfect lighting thus obtained are such as to render any competition with ordinary gas impossible. The Concession which has been secured to this Company confers an exclusive privilege for 30 years ; at the end of that period the works will either remain the property of the Company in perpetuity without special monopoly, or the Municipality may elect to purchase them at a sum equiva lent to the entire net profits of the previous ten years ; or to extend the Concession, with exclusive privileges for a further period of ten years. In this latter case, the works would revert to the City at the end of 40 years, unless fresh arrangements shall have been made for continuing the business in the hands of the Company. A sinking fund will be provided to meet these - contingencies. The Cahier des Charges allows the Company to charge five silver roubles (equivalent at the present exceptionally low rate of exchange to thirteen shillings, and to fifteen shil lings and tenpence at the par of exchange) per 1,000 cubic feet of gas for all private lights. The street lights will be paid for at the price of 14.50 silver roubles per light, burn ing 10,000 cubic feet during the year, and at the same rate for any further quantity which may be required, with an. illuminating power which need not exceed 12 candles. All the lamps of the Government and Municipal buildings are to pay the same price as the private lights, viz., five silver roubles per 1,000 cubic feet of gas. A provisional contract has been entered into with Smith, Knight and Co. (Limited), for works capable of supplying 120,000 lights, together with the whole of the mains of the City (upwards of 140 miles in length) adapted to the entire prospective consumption. The net profits upon the capi tal required for this purpose are calculated to exceed 20 per cent. per annum, and in this estimate no profit whatever is assumed on the public lights. The works will be laid out with a view to the supply of 10,000 street lights and upwards of 200,000 private lights ; and as soon as the Company can meet the demand to this extent the net profits are calculated to exceed the above rate. To show that this estimate is by no means exagge rated, reference may be made to the profits of other Gas Companies possessing exclusive privileges on the Conti nent ; amongst others the gas works at the Hague have paid for many years 25 per cent. per annum, and the Paris Gas Company is at the present time paying dividends above 20 per cent. per annum. Sufficient plant will be erected for the supply of 50,000 lights by the end of August in next year, from which date a large net revenue will be received. Power will be taken to borrow aportion of the capital on debentures, by which means the profits divisible amongst the Shareholders may probably rise to a higher figure than that already indicated. Offers have been received for the purchase of all the coke and tar produced, at prices which will bring down the net cost of coal carbonised to a point which contrasts favourably with the Gas Works of most of the large cities on the Continent. Interest at the rate of 7 per cent per annum will be paid half-yearly on the capital during construction. The outlay for plans, estimates, engineering, travelling expenses, and other preliminary charges will be borne by this Company. The Proprietors of the Concession have such confidence in the complete success of the undertaking that they have agreed to transfer all their rights and ad vantages to this Company in consideration of receiving, in lieu of any present payment, one-half of the net profits of each year after 10 per cent. shall have been earned on the total paid-up capital of the Company. A largo proportion of the capital is already subscribed. Applications for the remaining shares will be received by the Agra and Masterman's Bank; by the Solicitors ; and by Messrs. Hill, Fawcett, and Hill, the Brokers of the Company, from whom prospectuses and forms of applica tion may be obtained. The amount of £1 upon each share applied for must bo paid to the Company's Bankers previously to the application being sent in; this sum will be returned if no allotment is made to the applicant. An option will, be given to each subscriber of taking one-fifth part of the shares allotted to him in fully paid-up shares. Temporary Offices, 29, Threedneedle-street, E.C. April 1865.

STANFORD SMITH seoretary. No new military movements are announced by the latest advices from City Point. .A heavy storm had again rendered the roads impassable, probably for several days to come. A heavy rumbling noise, as of trains crossing pontoons, has recently been heard in the direction of Petersburg, and deserters continue to report great activity within Lee's lines. The Confederates have recently erected a new battery to fire on the trains between City Point and Hatcher's Run. Deserters also report that Heth's division left Richmond on the 17th to reinforce Johnston in North Carolina, and that in the western portions of that State there is a large force of deser ters under the leadership of a man by the name of Kirk, that this force is regularly organised, and is aiding the people to resist the conscription. Kirk had threatened to destroy the railroad from Dan ville to Salisbury. It is still rumoured that Lee is about to abandon Richmond. A newspaper correspondent estimates the damage done in Virginia by General Sheridan at fifty millions of dollars. Nothing further has been heard from Sheridan's command since the report of its being at White Home, on the Pamunkey River, endeavouring to join Grant's right. Richmond papers deny that Commodore HoDins was recently killed. No later Federal accounts concerning the move ments of Sherman's army have been published. Confederate accounts claim a victory near Golds borough. (From the Richmond Examiner, March 21.) Yesterday was received the following despatch announcing a brilliant victory in the vicinity of Raleigh : " Head-quarters Armies Confederate States, March 20, 1865. " To Hon. J. C. Breckenridge, Secretary of War. " General J. E. Johnston reports that about five o'clock p.m., on the 19th inst., he attacked the enemy near Bentonville, routed him, and captured three guns. " A mile in the rear he rallied on fresh troops, but was forced back slowly until six p.m., when, receiving more troops, he apparently assumed the offensive, which was resisted without difficulty until dark. This morning he is inlxenched. Our loss is small. The troops behaved admirably well. Dense thickets prevented active operations. " R. E. LEE, General." On the 11th Stanton had announced that Sherman was doing finely. His army was at Fayetteville, quietly resting, preparatory to another advance northward. It seems he did advance, but not far. This [successful attack by General Johnston gives earnest hope that the redoubtable Sherman has at length met his match. A Washington despatch, referring to the above, says that the affair is not regarded as important in Washington, but only as an attack upon a small force sent by Sherman to cut the railroad between Raleigh and Goldsboro', while the later place was being occupied by Sherman's main army. It is believed that Sherman will vigorously continue the offensive. It has been rumoured in Washington that Sher man's army entered Goldsboro' unopposed. The Republican claims that Sherman's present command is amply able to confront Lee's entire army in open field, without any assistance from General Grant. . It was also rumoured in Washington that Sher man had appeared before Raleigh, and demanded the surrender of that city. The Raleigh Progress, of March 16, states that it violates no secresy in assuring its readers that Sher man would soon be confronted by a formidable force. The Progress states that a little brush took place between a detachment of Hampton's body guard and some 200 of Kilpatrick's men, in which the Federals were driven off, Hampton slaying two with his own hand. Newbern advices state that the evacuation of Kinston by Bragg was quite precipitate, and that the Confederates failed in an attempt to blow up the magazine. Citizens of Kinston report that Bragg had 40,000 men when he attacked Schofield, that he lost very heavily in the eight charges made upon the Federal ivatrenchments, but that the eva cuation of Kinston by Bragg was in obedience to superior orders. It is reported, and denied, that in the battle of the Bth of March the Confederate General Hoke was killed. Richmond papers make no mention of his death, and the loss of so prominent an officer could hardly fail to be known throughout the country if he were killed. It is supposed that Bragg effected a junctionwith Johnston at or near Goldsboro'. _ _ New Orleans dates to the,l7th have been received. General Canby was then ,' with his troops near Mo bile, and a grand attack upon that city by the com bined Federal land and naval forces was expected to be made on the 22d of March. Generals Canby, Granger, and Smith, and Admiral Thatchers went within four miles of Mobile on a trip of inspection in the steamer Laura, which vessel drew a heavy fire from the Confederate batteries that line the harbour. The forces under Generals Canby, Granger, and Smith comprise two corps of veteran troops, the 13th and 16th, besides a coloured division and a division of cavalry. The Confederates at Mobile are said to be in strong force, and desperate fighting is ex pected, as the Federal forces will probably attempt to carry the city-by assault, in which case they must encounter strong fortifications. The Confederates have above the city two or three ironela,ds, but they are not supposed to be very formidable vessels. A force of 8,000 poorly mounted but well supplied cavalry, under Forrest and Chalmers, is said to be operating in the northern portions of Mississippi and Southern Tennessee. Forrest himself was at West Point. There is no military news of importance from the trans-Al ississippi department. General Kirby Smith, at last accounts, was at Shreveport, on Red River, and General Buckner at Natchitoches, Louisiana Judge Gray, a Texas lawyer, had reached Shreve , port from Eichmond, having been sent by President The reports in Richmond of the fighting in North Carolina as given by the Despatch of that city, in General Grant's official despatch, confirm with these in Raleigh published in the papers of that place. The Raleigh Confederate of the 21st says it hopes within a few days to give cheering intelligence. So far everything is encouraging. In the affair which occurred a few days since be tween Hardee and Sherman's forces, we repulsed, successfully, five assaults upon our lines, and held our position until the object was effected. In drawing off we lost two guns because the horses had been killed. Our loss in the affair was about 400 killed and wounded ; the enemy about 4,000. Of the battle of Sunday correspondents state that a very decided advantage was gained by our troops. The enemy was driven several miles, with heavy loss. We captured some artillery. The first battle occurred on the 16th, near the junction of the Black and South River on the Fayetteville and Goldsboro' railway, some 15 miles below Bentonville, in the vicinity of which plee the battle of Sunday occurred. - It would appear from the foregoing that the rebels fell back 15 miles, after gaining a victory on the 19th, on which the Union loss was a bloody one. It is evident that no decisive battle has been fought. The Richmond Sentinel of the 23d says Goldsboro' has been evacuated. At last accounts the enemy had not entered. The organisation of negro troops in Richmond is going on as fast as possible. Postmaster-General Dennison has invited pro posals for conveying the mails by means of a monthly line of first-class American seagoing steam ships between San Francisco and ports in the Chinese empire, touching at the Sandwich Islands and Japan. The Richmond Examiner says the conscription of negroes goes on with difficulty. Guards are sta tioned at every camp, yet the negroes escape. There is a great panic among the blacks, and much reluc tance among the whites, upon the question of arm ing the slaves. The Examiner of the 21st says there are in that city between 5,000 and 6,000 women and children belonging to men who fled from the rebel conscrip tion and escaped to the North. As provisions are scarce, it is proposed to send these people North at once. MONTREAL, March 25.—The arguments in the St. Alban's raiders' case closed last night, and a decision is promised on Wednesday next. The French Tress upon Mr, Cobden's Death. (From the Moniteur) "The 19th century has just lost one of those men who will do it the most honour, and will best cha racterise the part our time will play in the history of humanity. Richard Cobden is dead. He was brought up in poverty ; in his youth he herded sheep. His early education was that of a child of the people ; he learnt to read, to write, and to cast accounts. Trade presented to him irresistible attraction, and an opportunity soon offered itself. He became a traveller on commis sion. Step by step he encountered the strug gles, the difficulties, the vicissitudes of fortune, and raised himself to the, position of a great manufacturer, to wealth, and personal independence. Chance had led him to Manchester, and had made him a cotton manufacturer ; it had plunged him into that essentially international trade which re quires a primary material at the extremity of the earth, and which lives principally by export and ex change. Who can tell whether the long practical reflections of the young manufacturer upon his own product did not light up in his mind the first rays of that theory of free trade which was to illuminate the commercial world ? Cobden has not related in his writings how he became an economist, how he became a freetrader ; but we may be allowed, in presence of his open tomb, to go back to those years of his youth when he asked of America that precious vegetable production which fed his labours. He was able at the same time to study the movement products. He European markets to which he sent his He was able, while looking at his factories with workmen, to reflect that the tcondition fi s lled of that prosperity and welfare were liberty of commerce and e that he presented hi mse lf peace. It was after such teachings, as we may now suppose, be permitted to to the Manchester Chamber of Co mmerce to o ne day explain xpl ain the first rudime nts o f a new policy. This group of manufacturers appeared formed to under derstand the substitution of the utilitarian idea for the feudal and chivalrous idea. This centre of ma terial production was well calculated to become the Athens of free exelmnge. The new prophet suc ceeded. From that time forth Cobden commenced his work. He had a centre, followers, and disciples. England was covered with branches. The Free Trade League was created. The struggle went on for eight pars, Richard Cobden at its head, opposed to Sir Robert Peel—Sir Robert Peel who, himself one day convinced by his own genius, was to open the gates of the fortress to the assailants. The struggle went on, and the soldiers never wanted for chiefs. Subscriptions flowed into the treasury; spon taneous orators, unknown adepts, aided with all their powers in every part of Great Britain the man (From the Paris Temps.) A despatch from London transmits the unex pected news of Mr. Cobden's death. It is not merely an English sorrow. In every history, in every nation, there are two kinds of great men—those whose glory and whose services exclusively national in in tention or result, meet beyond the frontiers only with indifference or hostile protests—such is gene rally the glory of conquerors and military men ; and those who, in serving their country, have had the desire and the happiness of serving at the same time the general cause of civilisation and progress. Mr. Cobden was of the latter class. The sorrow at his death is a universal sorrow, because the principles he has established, and the changes his initiative has caused in England, have a general value, and interest all humanity. But, next to England, it is in France where his death will be most acutely re gretted, not only because he was one of the nego tiators of the treaty of commerce—that title would not yet be counted by everybody—but because he loved our country, and was the persevering defen der of the French alliance. There is not a man of whom England has reason to be prouder, and yet there is not one who was more elevated above all national narrowmindedness, or who more resolutely assailed the prejudices of his countrymen, when he considered himself compelled to do so by his con science. Mr. Cobden frequently resided among us ; he liked to come and claim from France or Algeria relief for delicate health prematurely impaired. There are few persons in Paris in the world of politics or letters who have not had an oppor tunity of knowing and appreciating him. His con versation was full of charm, and displayed side by side with much acuteness the candour of the thoroughly honest man. Paris even saw him as an orator in the Peace Congress of 1849, and here we touch thepoint upon which Mr. Cobden was utopian. He believed in the possibility of definitive peace among men even at present, and assuredly he was deceived, or at all events much in ath ante of his age. A generous error, however, and even benefi cent ; for no matter how distant may be the ideal, it is good that men sbould be met with sufficiently convinced to Ehow it to humanity that it may be looked at and unceasingly approached ; and it would not even be just to say that the pacific mission of Mr. Cobden has been without result. It has power fully, too powerfully perhaps, acted upon the public mind in England, and the ultra-pacific attitude of the English Government in the recent complications which threatened European peace must certainly be in part attributed to it. (From the Wats.) The telegraph brought us yesterday the sad news of the death of Mr. Richard Cobden, one of tho men who has exercised the most influence over eco nomical ideas, both in England and in the rest of Europe. Mr. Cobden died young ; he was only about 60 years of age. We shall shortly devote a special article to the examination of his labours and his political career. (From the Sikle.) Cobden is dead ! It is a great loss for England, where he might soon have been called upon to play an important political part, and for every country in which liberal ideas have supporters, and in which the services Cobden rendered them in his too hastily interrupted career are not forgotten. (From the Presse.) Death is blind ! Instead of taking Lord Pal merston, who was born in 1784, who consequently is 81 years of age, and who personifies a policy still older, Death has carried off Richard Cobden, who was born in 1804, and who was only 61 years of age. The least that all Europe owes to his memory is a day of mourning. Should Europe not go into mourning, there is at all events one newspaper that will have done so. [The whole of the front page of the Presse is sur• rounded with a black border.] (From the Constitutionnel.) In the death of Mr. Cobden England loses one of her most illustrious citizens, and economic science one of its loftiest and purest lights. The last time we had the honour of seeing Mr. Cobden he spoke about France and her sovereign in terms which are all engraved on our memory , and still more . deeply on our heart. The fu ture will not perhaps adopt the views of the founder of the Anti-Corn-Law gnLeiasguhode, po b s u i t tio i n t w t t h u r e ). d undoubtedly ab a l s e si ini gn tia a to dist r of in prolific idea. Tilt ITALIAN CRICHTON.—Pic de Mirandola (making allowance for exaggeration) was a remark able man in his day. He was born in 1463, and died at tho early age of 31. H e was the th i rd son o f J o h n F ranc i s, Prince of Mirandola and Concordia, and when only 10 years old acquired great reputation for his gifts as a poet and orator. Ho abandoned his estates to his brother and devoted himself to study in the Universities of Italy and France. He appeared at Rome when only 23, and offered to support his thesis "De omni re scibilt"' against all comers, and published his list of 900 propositions. Many of these propositions were pronounced by the theologians of the day to be heretical, and were condemned by Pope Innocent VIII. He soon after retired to Florence, where ho gave himself up to religion and the study of the Platonic philo sophy, and died in 1494. His collected works were pub- , lished in Belgium ill 1496, and at Venice in 1498. A ROYAL STAG I.lUNT.—Yesterday, by way of affording a finish to the hunting season, his Royal Highness the Due d'Aumale invited the members of the Worcestershire Hunt and other sporting gentlemen of the county to a stag hunt with his royal highness's famous pack of harriers. The meet was fixed for the Northwich Arms, in the suburbs of tho town of Evesham, and prior thereto his royal highness entertained a large party 'at breakfast at Woodnorton. Sportsmen flocked from all parts of the county to the rendezvous. Among those at the meet were his Royal Highness the Due d'Aumale, Prince Join vine, and several ladies and other members of the ox-royal family of France. The day was warm and sunny, and when the stag was uncarted at half-past 11 there could not have been less than 500 horsemen present. The stag at once made away for Childswickham, on the borders of Gloucestershire, through a beautiful level country with plenty of fence 6 of all kilids. NEW WORK ON FRENCH LITERATURE.
