But what shall we say when his death finds him still in patient expectancy of receiving what was his actual due, not from the generosity, but from the justice of his country, when the last years of his life were spent in weary contest with officials in all the tedious round of ap peal and representation and argument, to be met with delays and examinations and reductions till the hope deferred not only made the heart sick, but weakened the bodily health, and disease and dis- appointment and exhaustion found no strength to - -. resi73t them. Yet such has been the case. Mr. SNIDER is dead. The mournful anticipations which were felt at the time when we last wrote on this subject have been too surely realised, and yes- tcrday the hand of Death wrote finis to the long, sad story of an Englishman's exertions and his country's ingratitude. The facts of the case are well known to the public, and there is good reason to believe that the present Government, if Mr. SNIDER'S life had been spared, would have endeavoured to atone for the neglect of their predecessors, and that even now a liberal remuneration will be given to his survivors, yet the story is a most painful one. It would always have been so, but especially in a year when the startling events on the Continent created so much unea siness respecting our national arm of defence, and when so much relief was given to the public mind by the announcement of the successful working of Mr. SNIDER'S invention. Time as well as money was saved by the speedy conversion of the Enfield rifle, and its acknowledged superiority to other breech loaders was so manifest that the new Adminis tration obtained great credit for largely increasing the orders given. As we have said, we believe the present Government are anxious to do justice to Mr SNIDER'S claims. Mr. COLBORNE, solicitor for one of the trustees of the SNIDER gun, writes to a contem porary to say that he has been in correspondence with the War Department on the subject for the last two months, and that yesterday Col. RODEN had an interview with General PEEL, and that there is every reason to believe the question will be set tled before the end of the week. Neither party was then aware that one whose claims will not be post poned for the convenience of any department had anticipated their deliberations, but no doubt now we shall hear of a liberal provision for Mr. SNIDER'S relatives. HOMER was not the only great man de spised in life and honoured after death. The bio graphy of the luminaries of science, of poetry, of art, of philosophy, aye, even of politics themselves, repeat the same old story. Influential mediocrity pushes to the point and keeps it. Genius may stand without the ranks and cry for admission in vain. It is something, indeed, that Mr. SNIDER should have got a hearing for his invention at all. It would have been more in accordance with our usual English fashion if the scheme had been laid aside, and the inventor told it was under consideration, and by and bye the best parts of it had been picked out and amalgamated with some other adaptation under another name. Perhaps the triumph of success atoned in some measure to the man of genius for the personal disappointment and discomfiture ; but human nature is but human after all, and however enthusiastic a man may be for his cause, when stricken low by paralysis and tormented by pressing cares, the word fame has but an empty sound. We would not attribute to any English gentle man, from the head of the War-office to the lowest of his subordinates, an intention of withholding from a man his due, but there has certainly been displayed in the case of Mr. SNIDER a meanness, an illiberality, nay, more, an injustice which reflects deep discredit on the whole system of our English administration. When the late Minister for War was taking credit to himself and hi 3 department for giving orders for the conversion of the Enfield guns amid the cheers of the llouse, he forgot to inform the honourable members that the official solicitor had beaten down the inventor's very moderate claim to nearly two-thirds. Yet perhaps this fact may be remembered when the name of Lord lIARTJNGTON is forgotten. It is the old truism which instigated the celebrated comparison between the poet and the divine— ~ His treasures live like thine, Ile strives and dies like thee ;" and until a very different system takes the place of routine and red-tape, we fear Mr. SNIDER'S will not be the last name at which England will have to blush, although she should be justly proud to claim it as her own. A letter in the Standard of to-day calls attention to some circumstances connected with the proceed ings of the Jamaica Committee, and allude more especially to the astoundicg intelligence that " the Jamaica Committee have issued a circular asking for £lO,OOO to promote the criminal prosecution of Governor EIRE."

Now, we may fairly ask, if it be not very culpable ork the part of those who form this committee thus to, influence and agitate the negroes at a time when, of all others, they should be left without any dis tur, bing influences ? How can they be led to take a ri, ght view of the late outbreak, and to become mon satisfied with their condition, while they are kept in a perpetual excitement as to the state of things in England, and are taught that they have been ill-used and injured? A more ill-advised schei ne than that organised by the committee could not have been suggested, and it is to be hoped that they -0:11 pause in time before they commit them selves to such a disgraceful act irretrievably. At any rate, as the letter above referred to states em phatiez:lly, the responsibility will fall upon them, and if Jamaica become a second Domingo the Jamaiat committee will be to blame. The principal points of the Treaty of Peace be tween Prussia and Saxony are now before us, and it must be admitted that they are about as bad as could be, unless Saxony was altogether to become a Prussian Province. If the French EMPEROR had not predetermined, in the most most positive man ner, that he would not go to war with Prussia just now, there would be ample cause for provocation found in the scandalous way in which his expressed wishes have been disregarded in respect to Saxony. We never expected that Austria would obtain much attention ; but it was not unreasonable to look for some regard when the French EMPEROR had urged the advisability of retaining the integrity of Saxony. It would seem as if the spirit of malig nant cunning had taken possession of BISMARCK when he made these terms ; and, indeed, we may say the same thing almost of all the other stipula tions he has taken part in of late. We do not see how any integrity or independence is left to the unfortunate little kingdom, and, on the contrary, there is much to regret and deplore in the ruin thus entailed upon it. The Saxon army will be reorganised according to arrangements made by the North Ger man Confederation. Mixed garrisons will be placed in Dresden and Konigstein, and the Prussians will put garrisons into the other towns until the army shall have been organised. The war indemnity to be paid is fixed at ten million thalers, of which one million wiil be deducted, because of the cession to Prussia of the railways of Laban and Gorlitz. Here again is a serious loss ; and when we take into account the further intimation that Prussia is to obtain exclusive possession of the Saxon telegraphic wires, we may realise to the full extent the way in which the Saxons have been circumvented by their ruthless eagerness and their wily director, Count BISMARCK. The Saxon troops that are now about to return home will be placed under the com mand of the chief Prussian General in Saxony, and altogether there is little difference in the fate of Saxony from that of Hanover and some others. The North German Confederation is a fine sounding name for a Convention of Prussian moneyocracy, and those who may be expecting very beneficial results to ensue from its establishment will be cer taidto meet with disappointment, for it is founded on injustice, and no liberty of choice is allowed to those most immediately concerned in the matter, and most seriously affected by the comprehensive changes wrought. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWX CORRESPONDENT.) P.uus, Thursday Evening. The Gazette de Venise of Saturday last contains the official documents and speeches made on the formal surrender of Venice and Venetia by France to Italy. The first place, giving up " the strong place of Venice," is signed by General Lebceuf on the part of France, and on the part of Italy by the following members of the Municipality of the Place of Venice, acting as assessors :—Mercantonis Gas pari, Giovanni Pietro Count Grimani, Antonio Count Guistiniani Recanati. "On the delivery of Venetia General Lebcouf made a speech, in the course of which he said that the Emperor Napoleon had made known the rea sons why be had accepted Venetia in a letter to the King of Italy, dated Aug. 11. (The contents of this letter are well known, as its publication at the time excited great sensation. His Majesty, it will be recollected, said that he accepted the offer of Venetia to preserve her from all devastation, and to prevent the effusion of blood.') The General proceeded to say : " Gentlemen, the Emperor has for a long time known the aspirations of your country. His Ma- jesty knows that it desires to be united to the States of King Victor Emmanuel, with whom the Emperor formerly fought for the enfranchisement of Italy. But from respect for the rights of nationalities, and for the dignity of peoples, the Emperor desired to leave to the Venetians the task of manifesting their wishes. " They are worthy of understanding this homage rendered to popular Sovereignty, upon which are based the Governments of France and Italy. The Emperor thus proves once more his respect for the principles which he has always made it a point of honour to defend, and for the feelings of friendship of which he has given such reiterated proofs to the whole peninsular. " His Majesty is happy to have seconded, by the efforts of his policy, the patriotism and the courage of the Italian nation." Count Michiel, in the name of the members of the commission, replied in Italian in the following terms " When in 1859 the allied armies triumphed in Lombardy over our oppressors, we thought, at the cry of " From the Alps to the Adriatic," that our safety was insured. The icy hand of diplomacy wrested this certainty from us. But that hand could not subjugate the heart-beatings of that people, who redoubled their sacrifices, confident in its future, which was the future of Italy, nor could it turn its powerful ally from his purpose of co-operating in the deliverance of those who had shown themselves worthy of it. We, and with us all Venetians, vene bolfooodurwwaells rate the work of Providence, and we thank the y obu sayl hisl b battle-fields, t whilstl magnanimouse-fig generous ,-beloved shKiedn King, t h h o e powerful mediation, accelerated the moment of our independence and the union of the kingdom." General Lebceuf then, after recapitulating the official terms of the doc umen t s o f surrender, said:— " We declare that we remit Venetia to herself, in order that the populations, masters of their destinies, may freely express by universal suffrage their wishes respecting the annexation of Venetia to the kingdom of Italy." Count Michiel, in the name of the commission, gave a formal acknowledgment in writing to M. Lebceuf of the surrender of Venetia by the Emperor Napoleon. The Gazette Offieielle of Italy gives the following particulars respecting the plebiscite of union of the Venetian provinces up to the evening of the 22d. At Udine, 5,473 electors voted for Yes, and one only for No. At Chioggia, out of 7,992 voters, there was not a single No. At Rovigo, out of 2,760 voters, the result was the same. At Vicenza, 8,610 electors voted for Yes and two only for No. At Verona there were 16,075 electors who voted for Yes and only one for No. (It would thus ap pear that there are not " Two Gentlemen of Verona" who are opposed to the freedom and independence of Italy.) At St. Pierre, Incarrieino, out of 6,135 votes there was not one for No. According to the latest accounts from Trieste, re- specting the health of the Empress Charlotte of Mexico, the isolation in which she is kept, upon the advice of her medical attendants, has produced the best effect. The situation of the chateau of Miramar facilitates this isolation, but at the same time gives the illustrious patient the opportunity of taking ex ercise in the open air without intrusion. The walks which her Majesty has taken in the parks daily have done her much good, and have amused her, and partially removed the fits of melancholy under which she labours ; nevertheless her hallucinations con tinue. Her state of health is critical, but in this kind of malady, according to the opinion of her physicians, complete re-establishment can only be effected by time. Nocturnal attacks have recently been very fre quent in Paris. The papers to-day contain two accounts of this description of crime. As a person was crossing the Rue Oberkaupf, about midnight, on his way home, he heard footsteps behind him, and almost immediately received a severe blow on the head with an empty bottle. He says that in falling he recognised his aggressor by the light of the gas lamp, so that the ruffian will be probably arrested. Robbery was, no doubt, the object, but the cries of the victim brought police officers to his assistance. The other case occurred in the Rue Mouffetard. The sufferer was found in a deplorable state. There was a serious cut on his forehead, and his hair was coveted with blood. He had been at tacked by three individuals, who had taken his watch and chain and other valuables. Two of the three assailants have been arrested. A splendid new park is about to be constructed under the superintendence of eminent engineers, at Montsouris, near the valley on the left bank of the Bievre. It will command a beautiful view of Paris, and will prove for the south of the capital as agree abie and as pleasant a retreat as now are enjoyed by the west, the east, and the north from the Bois de Boulogne, the Bois de Vincennes, and the park of the Buttes-Chaumont. The extent will be 16 hectares. The Havas despatches sent to the Paris papers, which always make a ludicrous hash of anything English, announce that an English company of actors will play during the Exhibition. Among the tragedians mentiou is made of Mr. Philps. The despatches also inform the Parisians that the prin cipal comedian will be M. Ch. Matteus, meaning, I suppose, Charles Matthews. That agreeable actor would, no doubt, laugh at the funny mistakes of these telegraph people, but they often make "the judicious grieve." A decision of great importance to public com panies has been given by the Tribunal of Com merce. A meeting of a water company was adver tised for ordinary purposes. The directors of the company, however, proposed a resolution for the erection of machinery to supply gas. The resolu tion was carried and considerable expense incurred. A shareholder in the meeting protested, but his re monstrances being unavailing, he brought the case before the Tribunal of Commerce. That court has just decided that a company formed to supply water cannot legally, without submitting to certain for malities to change their statutes, offer to supply gas. It therefore condemned the directors to pay a fine of 50f., to refund the expenses incurred, and also to pay the charges incurred for the prosecution, and also to defray the amount required for the in sertion of advertisements in the judicial papers giving an account of the case. The first Cabinet Council which has been held for some time past took place yesterday, at St. Cloud, the Emperor presiding. It lasted several hours. _ The Tintainarre is responsible for the following : —A gentleman about to enter a house in the Champ& d'Antin met a friend coming out. " What are you doing here ?" said he. The friend replied that he had just been to see a creditor, and he had had a great deal of trouble in inducing him to accept a little money. " How was that ?" said the gentle " Why, he wanted a great deal," was the man. reply. The Duke de Lenctenberg, eldest son of the Grand Duchess Maria, and grandson of Prince Eugene de Bauharnais, has been appointed Presi dent of the Russian Commission at Paris for the Grand Exhibition. His Imperial Highness has arrived here. The Cattle Plague and the Store Cattle Trade. A memorial, addressed to the Privy Council, and signed by magistrates, landowners, graziers, and cattle dealers, to the number of nearly 400, from the district of Craven, praying for a modification of the restrictions on the trade between England and Scot- land, and for permission to hold a store cattle fair on Linton liolms, in the centre of the district, was pre- sented a short time ago, and, the reply being unfavourable as to the admission of stock into Scot land, but no allusion being made to the fair, the memorialists decided that one or two gentlemen from the district should wait upon Colonel Harness, C. 8., and press for some modification of the pre sent severe restrictions. In accordance with this an interview tuok place on Wednesday. Mr. BIRKBECK, a landowner and large farmer, and secretary to the Linton Cattle Show, stated that the district of Craven to the north and north- west of Skipton and the whole of the bordering county of Westmoreland had never had one case of cattle plague, including an area of more than 800 square miles ; that it was almost entirely a sum mer grazing country, and required markets for its stock in the autumn which must be removed to winter food ; that Scotland, which in many districts had severely suffered from cattle plague, was now allowed markets and free intercourse with England, whilst this large district, which has always been free, was inconvenienced and injured by the Scotch markets being entirely closed to it, and public home fairs forbidden ; that Ireland also had free trade in cattle, and was now (as a report of the Dalkeith market, in the Yorkshire Post, shows) solely mono polising the supply of store cattle to Scotland. Ik, therefore, hoped that some of the existing restric tions would be removed, as it was manifest they might be without danger. Ile also alluded to the efforts which had been made by the Scottish Board of Agriculture and others interested in the cattle trade in Scotland to modify the restrictions of the trade with this district. Col. IlAuxEss said there would be difficulty making exceptions in favour of particular districts. Mr. BIRKBECK replied that they had already done so in favour of the county of Northumberland — why not for so large a district, in which, he re peated, cattle plague had never existed ? COl. HARNESS replied chat the exception had only reference to sheep. On reading over the order he pointed out that fat cattle markets might be held if they were sent afterwards for immediate slaughter ; but unless the order was entirely rescinded, it was contrary to its spirit to permit store cattle markets at present. Mr. BIRKBECK suggested that a modification only of the order would meet the wishes of the memoria lists ; he could assure him it pressed the most se verely on the middle-class owners of stock, as large owners could now sell on their farms by public auction, but it would not pay for the small farmers to do so, and they cannot combine for that purpose, being scattered over such an extensive country. Mr. Birkbeck therefore suggested that if store cattle markets were held in counties or petty seFsional di visions where there had been no plague for the same number of months as Scotland had b een free, and further, to let cattle assemble at such fai r s under th e restriction of passes, excluding all cattle grazed within 10 miles of an infected district, that would meet every requirement, and would be equally just to the United Kingdom. Col. HARNESS said the Lord President was still in attendance on her Majesty in Scotland, but that there was a strong desire to mitigate the severity of these restrictions by the Lords of the Privy Council, if they could with safety ; that they had the subject continually under discussion, and he would place the present communications duly before them. Letters in support of the object were presented from the Mayor of Bolton (a gentleman connected with the district), and from Lord F. Cavendish, M.P., and Sir F. Crossley, Bart., Aix., the repre sentatives of this part of the county. LA TEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) AMERICA, QUEENSTOWN, Oct. 26. The Inman steamship, City of New York, from New York, on the 13th inst., arrived here at 3.20 a.m. to-day with 360 passengers, and $49,200 in specie. She landed 680 of the former, and pro ceeded at 4 a.m. for Liverpool. FRANCE. A frankfort letter says :—" The vintage in Ger many this year is likely to be unfavourable with respect to quality. As to quantity it will be con siderable, and there arc fears that casks will be wanting to contain the must. The year 1865 hav ing produced only wines of a superior quality, there is a want of the commoner sorts, and with that respect the produce of the present year beisg abundant will meet with a ready sale, should not the foreign wines compete with it in the market. This eventuality is the more possible that during the first quarter of the present year the imports of wine amounted to 125,000 gallons, against 56,000 in the corresponding period of last year." A communication from Hamburg contains the subjoined :—" The corn crops in the district around this city have been abundant, but the quality is un fortunately far from responding to the hopes which appearances at the commencement of the summer had given rise to. Heavy rains in the months of July and August prevented the full ripening of cars ; a large number rotted in the fields, and the harvest could not take place until four or five weeks later than the usual period. The wheat, from the healthy appearance of the stalk in the spring, promised a most beautiful yield, but the heavy rain in the latter portion of the summer spoilt one of the finest harvests ever anticipated. The inferior quality of the wheat this year in the neighbourhood of the free city would have inevitably caused a considerable fall in prices if the bad crops in France and England had not rendered necessary purchases abroad by those coun tries. In fact the rise in the old wheat of 1865, which is much demanded, has also caused an in crease in the prices of the new crops. There never theless exists a notable difference between the two qualities of 1865 and 1866 ; the old wheat sells for 300 f. the ton, while the new is worth only from 230 f. to 260 f. The exports from France and Eng land are at this moment very considerable, and the rates of freight have consequently profited by that animation. The following may be taken as a succinct account of theresult of the corn-harvest in this neighbourhood: —Wheat ; yield•very abundant, 20 per cent. above the average ; quality variable, but generally inferior. Rye : scarce ; 40 per cent. below the ordinary run. Barley : abundant, good average, bad quality. Oats : very plentiful yield ; quality inferior everywhere." The bulletin of the Paris Observatory gives the following as the atmospheric situation yesterday : " The air continues calm in Europe, but pretty strong winds began to blow from between south east and south-west in Norway and Sweden. In the British Isles the wind is variable between south and west, in France and central Europe north-east and south-east currents prevail. The temperature is a little higher in Russia ; however, it was still close to zero this morning, and snow has fallen at Nicolaieff, near the Crimea. The barometer con tinues to fall all over Europe, particularly in the south and west."—ln Paris yesterday the weather was fine, but somewhat colder. The thermometer at three in the afternoon marked 14.4 Cent. (58 Fahr.)

(Signed) ROULAND. THE CANOE CLUB.—On Saturday last the mem bers of the Canoe Club held a meeting on board the plea sure-barge at Ditton. Thirty members were elected, rules adopted, and officers elected for the year. After dinner some of the canoeists spent a pleasant evening in listening to accounts of the various summer journeys, the most notable of which were those of the captain (to Norway and Sweden), and the mate (through the lochs of Scotland). Several canoe casualties have occurred since the formation of the club in July last. One gentleman had been pulled ashore by peasant women in Scotland, and one had been spilt over a weir in the Severn, completely wrecking his canoe, and going within a shade of pitting drowned. LITERATURE. -d -- -- Kingsford. By the Author of "Son and lleir." Two vols. Hurst and Blackett. In these two volumes the author of " Son and Heir" has given us one of the most interesting stories we have read this season. The three prin cipal characters, about whom the chief interest is concentrated, are admirably well drawn. Ralph Lorton and Margaret and Erlesmere Clive are each in their several ways perfect. At the open ing of the story Erlesmere Clive is the lord of the manor of Kingsford. The last representative of the old family, a colonel in India, has been disinherited by old Squire Kingsford, who has left the estates to his brother-in-law, the father of Erlesmere. On his death young Erlesmere be comes. as we have said, lord of the manor. He is described, when we first meet him, as " the very embodiment of a young ' swell '—of a good English type, with fair complexion and blue eyes, with flaxen moustache and whiskers—he made a very fair Lord of the Manor —un roi debonnaire-- sweet-tempered, easy-going, lazy, extravagant. But just as those lithe slender limbs of his had in them as much strength as an ordinary English gentleman could want, so his air of sleepy aristocratic languor was but the soft outer covering of a sufficiently tough kernal of energy and determination." The iron hand and the velvet glove are happily com bined in the instance of Erlesmere Clive. When c onsulting a friend about some building improve ments, we find him "gliding from the topic, finding the opilaion an adverse one," and we are told " that it was Erlesmere's habit to make up his mind in silence, to hear every one's advice with placid de ference, almost approval, and when they thought they were twisting him round their fingers, be hold he was saying in his sleepy way - -' Still do you know, on the whole, I think I shall do as I first proposed.' " This determination of character stands him in good stead when, later on, the crisis of his life puts him to the trial, and he comes out like gold from the furnace. Very different is Mar garet Clive, the sister of Erlesmere. Proud and haughty in her demeanour, but impetuous and pas sionate in her feelings, she is her own most cruel enemy. Love and pride struggle for the mastery in her heart, but in her outward bearing only pride is visible. The third character who divides the in terest with the brother and sister is Ralph Lorton, the parish doctor. Ralph happens to be a connec tion of the Kingsford family, some lady of that house having, "to the hourly mortification of her family, married a former Ralph Lorton, the Kingsford doc tor of that day." "Tanned and roughened by the sun and wind, with a frank, healthy, outdoor-look about him, wherever Ralph Lorton went he seemed to bring, if not always sunshine, his temper being none of the smoothest, yet a breath of keen, exhili rating, westerly air." The frank, independent spirit of the Parish Doctor is rightly appreciated by the Lord of the Manor, and the truest and warmest friendship subsists between the two. And how feels Margaret? Margaret loves intellectual conversa tion, and Margaret, with her haughty bearing and ambitious projects loves conversing with the Parish Doctor. At the Tery beginning of the story the brother and sister, and doctor, are returning from church. Erlesmere goes in to fetch a shawl for his sister, and Ralph Lorton hearing Miss Clive speak of leaving Kingsford, forgets in a moment the caution of years, and asks the proud lady to be his wife. After a moment's pause he gets his answer— " Mr. Lorton," she said at last, her very lips white, her eyes like coals of fire, " you must be out of your senses. That is the only excuse I can make for your conduct. Al low me to pass, if you please." " Wait a moment." He seemed struggling with himself then, " Will you give me an answer P." ho said, in a hoarse voice. " Mr. Lorton, I think you might spare my reminding you of the difference in our positions, which makes your conduct to me the grossest insult !" " Yes," he answered ; " you are the lady of the Manor, and I am the parish doctor, and I insult you by loving you ; but, insult or not, I shall always love you, and you can't' prevent it," and he threw the gate wide open. Margaret walked with head erect, with an air of dignity that was a little too self-conscious to be perfect. Her long black silken skirts swept the fallen leaves to right and left. For a long while after the rustle of dead leaves filled Ralph Lorton with loathing. Erlesmere was coming to meet them, the shawl hanging from his arm. It seemed to Ralph that a whole year had passed—that another life, and a new order of things, had begun since they had parted at the Manor House door. " This much I will do," and Margaret turned and looked at the doctor as one might look at a toad—" I will let my brother know nothing of thismost unpleasant conversation, if it can possibly be avoided." He raised his head with a certain proud dignity. " Miss Clive, I have done nothing to-day that I should mind the whole world knowing. I glory in loving you—l am not ashamed of being refused by you." And then Erlesmere came up, and threw the shawl round his sister with an evidently practised hand. "Awfully cold you look, both of you—quite blue." " Yes," answered Margaret, smiling, " it was very cold in Norwood, certainly, and wo dawdled about, looking at the view and talking about—oh, about Australia." We have already spoken of the friendship existing between the Lord of the Manor and the Parish Doctor. This is forcibly 'exemplified, when Erles mere Clive risks his life to preserve Lorton from drowning, and the next day when Ralph begins " I haven't thanked you yet," " Pray don't begin then," returns Erlesmere, in his most languid tone. "We were both in the canal yesterday, and if I had gone in first, you would have gone in second, so where's the difference ?" "We understand each other pretty well, I think," says Ralph. Such being the state of feeling between them, the painful intensity of the following scene may be con jectured. There has been a grand ball at Kings ford House, and Margaret has accepted the pro posal of Lord Mortlake. Brilliant and prosperous is the career of brother and sister, when the follow ing interview takes place : The young Squire and Newton were just starting for a day with the rabbits." Erlesmere had gone round by the stables, and was on his way to the keeper's lodge, when a servant came running from the house with the tidings that Mr. Lorton wished to speak with him. " I hope he won't keep me long," thought Erlesmere, as ho retraced his steps, " or Newton will be savage." In the hall workmen were carrying away camelia and orange-trees. The debris of the ball had hardly yet dis appeared. Ralph had been shown into the study. Ho stood looking out of window, nor did he move until the Squire was close to his elbow. Then he turned sharply, and Erlesmere sprang back with the conviction that the doctor had met with some dreadful accident. " Ile has been poisoning somebody by mistake," thought the squire. Ralph held out something which Erlesmere thought was a folded piece of parchment. " 1 found this yesterday," was all he said. The Squire, perplexed, took it from him—glanced it through. A shock of horror seemed to pass over his face, but he neither spoke nor uttered a sound. It was Squire Kingsford's will. Not the one by which he had left Kingsford Manor to William Clive, and which bore the date 12th November, 1849 ; but another by which the estate was bequeathed to Robert Kingsford, and which was dated June 22d, 1850. The witnesses were, Samuel Armitage, Mary Pollard, respectively butler and cook at the Manor House, in the old squire's time, and butler and cook at the Manor House to this very day. Erlesmere took rather a longer time than seemed ne cessary to read this will. Then he said without looking up, "Where -" He stopped, cleared his throat, which seemed a little husky, and went on in almost his natural tone— " Where did you find this ?" " In Mrs. Fowler's old Bible," answered Ralph, in a hard, sharp sort of voice. " Mrs. Fowler's old Bible," repeated Erlesmore mechani cally. "Let me see," and ho put up his hand to his fore head as if confused--" who is Mrs. Fowler ?" " She was servant at the Manor House twenty yeas s ago. The Bible was old Squire Kingsford's. It was given to her. She gave it to me." There was a dead silence in the room. Ralph looked out of the window, Erlesmere looked at the will ; neither of them knew what he WAS looking at. At last Erlesmere lifted up his face, deadly white, but perfectly composed, it was. " The first step must be to see Mr. Gascoigne." (Mr. Gascoigne was the Olives' family lawyer.) "A h ! I re member, he is coming over here this afternoon." Some thing seemed to catch his breath as he spoke; for he had intended discussing with Mr. Gascoigne the settlement ho meant to make upon his sister at her marriage. " Could you manage to come here again at two o'clock ?" "Yes," replied Ralph. "It all seems correct enough," Erlesmere went on, in the same calm tone. "But, of course, we must make quite sure. I see the witnesses are two of the servants. You know Colonel Xingefoal's address, I suppose ?" And, for the first time since he read the will, Erlesmere turned and looked at Ralph. It was as if he wanted to face bravely the fact of the Colonel's ownership. "No ; but I know his law rer's." "That will do, then." Ellesmere folded up the parchment with a great deal of deliberation, and held it out to Ralph. "'Will you keep it till we meet again, or shall I ?" " Keep it yourself, for God's sake !" burst out Ralph, in a voice choked with passion. "Don't let me get hold of it again !" _ And then ho turned away, and put up his hand to his Erlesmere looked at the doctor with a mournful, bewil dered sort of smile, as if trying to understand the cause of his emotion. lie said: "Just sit down for a minute, Lor;.on, and I will get you a glass of wine. You seem awfully knocked up." "Don't—don't," muttered the doctor -" I have ruined Ills face was hidden, but his broad shoulders seemed to writhe convulsively. " You have not ruined me, and this is not ruin," Elles mere answered, steadfastly, and with a peculiar gentleness in his tone. " Don't come again this afternoon. Gas coigne can write to you. It is worse for you than it is for me." "Yes ; I shall come at two o'clock— I have begun it, and I must go through with it." And Ralph started up, and went across the room. Bat as he walked ho staggered, and once or twice ho put out his hand, as if to save himself from falling. He stood fumbling at the handle of the door, then he turned, as by a sudden impulse. " Don't tell your sister—give me your word you won't tell your sister. It may be a forgery—Gascoigne will say it is, see if he doesn't ! Anyhow, there may be a way of escape. Don't tell her, Clive," and then his voice choked again. " Certainly I shall not think of telling my sister until everything is quite settled," returned Erlesmere, with some dignity. "My poor Margaret !" he said to himself, with such a sharp pang at his heart. When Ralph was gone, Erlesmere rang the boll, and said, in his ordinary tone, to the servant who appeared, " Tell Newton I have business to attend to, and must give up shooting this morning." This done, he locked the door, sat down, folded his arms upon the table, hid his face iu his hands. So he sat with out moving or speaking for hours. What he went through that morning, God alone ever knew. We have always a particular reluctance to " spoil the interest" of a story. We have been compelled to reveal so much in order to give our readers soma idea of the very interesting character of the plot, and the powerful ability displayed in the creation of the principal characters. how the sitnatiou be comes complicated by the death of the Indian Colonel —the remorse of Ralph, the suffer ings of Margaret, and the gentlemanly* chivalry of Erlesmere, we leave our readers to learn from the pages of " Kingsford," assured that they will thank us for commending to their attention a work so attractive and enthralling. Our only ob jection to the book is the occasional and uuneces . sary introduction of topics of religious controversy. The Asylum for Idiots, Earlswool. The autumnal election of this charity was held yesterday, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate street, Mr. Alderman Abbiss in the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings of the day, said he had little to comment upon on this occasion, and he, therefore, requested that the ladies and gentlemen present would remain quiet for two or three minutes, as the poll would be opened immediately afterwards. He had to congratulate the friends and subscribers on the continued good health of the inmates, and on the flourishing con dition of the institution. (Hear, hear.) There were, indeed, two or three points to which he must refer. In the first place, the board had ventured to do something which they had never done before, but he hoped the subscribers would think that in what they had done the board had acted discreetly and wisely. (Ap plause.) It was a fact well known to all present that the cholera had visited this City, and there was one case which had been brought before the public, and subsequently came under the notic3 of the board, where the mother and five children had been attacked by cholera. One of the children left was an idiot, and the board, deeming the case to too one of an exceptional character as regarded the usual forms required, had at once admitted the idiot without any preliminaries to the benefits of the asylum, subject nevertheless to the approval of the subscribers. (Loud applause.) If the meeting approved of what had been done he begged those present would raise their hands `?(Here every han d was held up.) He was happy to find that the pub; lie appreciated the step which had been taken, an d that they had come to the same conclusion as the committee. They had now some 430 children as inmates, and the home was quite full. To Pre" vide for the ensuing election it had been though t expedient to make temporary provision for addi tional inmates, by converting some work shops, by which 100 more might be acconone" dated. It was imperative that this should be done. Out of the £30,000 required to carry out the ex tension of the building, &c., the committee had r e " ceived in promises and cash £3,000, leaving a 013 , of £27,000 to be furnished by the subscribers an the public generally. The intention was to find an i asylum for 800 instead of 400 inmates. The board however, pledged themselves to incur no debt, bu to proceed only as they may have funds in ba nd. (Hear, hear.) The poll was then declared open, and the ballet commenced. It appears that on this occasion the number of candidates-204—is unusually large, W exceeding any former list, and although the sp ace in the asylum is so very limited the board have de; tided to admit 30 cases, viz., five for life, and 25 f e five years. During this autumn and the ens oie d g 4 spring a special effort will be made to obtain fortot for the enlargement of the asylum, which ca nil . e well be longer delayed. The board propose to rai s e among themselves and friends the sum of £27 0 9 ;0 and they hope that the subscribers and the p ub 't will contribute so liberally that the desired o b j o' may be attained. Scene in Northmoor-Green Church. of The Bridgewater Mercury recounts the particularsisst, another disgraceful scene which occurred on Sunday e and was far worse and more distressing than any prcc3din: ones. Mr. Hunt commenced the morning service W..; after 11 o'clock, and proceeded for a time in the o rdinal way, when it was suddenly interrupted by a great CO 131 ; motion being observed near the door, followed by s l o w f- t burst of laughter and a stamping of feet, the e vident tention being to create as much noise as poss ible. r ° 1 : 1 cause of this tumult was the entry into the church of women and four men, attired in what they designated then) "vestments." These consisted, for the most part, of seVe ll % pieces of paper, either pinned or sewn together, in the of a cloak, and intended to represent a cope (si milar to tha t , worn by Mr. Hunt in his high celebrations.) The pap e r was of various colours, and consisted of strip s of 133P0 hangings. On the back, in the gayest colours. were p ies 6 of paper arranged in the form of alarge cross. Pieces o f larg s, placards, printed on different-coloured paper, pag es of °l i t :t o t ra ted periodicals, &c., fastened together, helped to core P-of the costume.
