The EmPERep, of the FRENCII has his work before him in re-organising the army,the Special Commission appoint e d f or th andurpose has various Plans submitted to it, which receive due notice, a lthough it is thought in some qua r t ers t h at the Own, which will ere Puton has a scheme of his long be acted upon. It is not so much w i t h t h e pecu li a r character of the plans that the public h a ve to deal as with the motives that induce those in authority to take up the reorganisa tion at all. No doubt several reasons might be given for these decided steps being „taken, and with more or less truth in them, but the chief cause of all is the conduct of BISMARCK during this last summer. That crafty politician has entirely mis takenthe wise course of policy for the shuffling and tricking one, and he will, sooner or later, find out the egregious blunder he has made. It is not so much to be wondered at that the French EMPEROR should have been deceived, because few could hays surmised the the extraordinary manner in which the' Berlin Government has acted. It may truly be said that greater insincerity, and more significant want of faith, have never been displayed by any Power than Prussia has shown to France during the last year. It is true that it has been of a piece all along with the former manoeuvring ; but then we had every reason to sup pose that more restraint would be put upon the ambitious desires and crafty designs of the German powers. It cannot be denied that, with one thing and the other, Prussia has now become a very dangerous neighbour to France ; and whatever may be said of the little consequence that the recent changes will be to us, the same cannot be affirmed of our continental neighbours. No one can there fore feel surprised that the pleasurable excitement appertaining to the forthcoming Exhibition in Paris should be mingled with grave rumours, and even sinister reflections. The shadow of the past, with its treachery and cunning, hangs over the present, and seems ominous for the future. It is said, and no doubt with a fair share of truth, that the French EMPEROR has been deeply offended at the behaviour of BISMARCK ; it was indeed a dangerous game which that subtle statesman played, and it was a chance if he suc ceeded in his venture. For the moment we confess the success has been all on his side, but the end has not yet been seen; and we question very much if he will have so much cause for rejoicing when time has consolidated his work a little, and he begins to count the cost. It is one thing to push on his schemes, and pursue his projects when the French leave him alone, and quite another thing to carry out his policy when they are opposed to it. We have heard a great deal of the grandeur of the Prussian policy, and the prowess of their armies rivalling the magnificent campaigns of the First NAPOLEON, but in reality there was no such great wonder in their success, because they met with no opposition that was worthy of the name. Either from indifference or want of skill the places were badly defended, and on the field there was no spirit exhibited by their enemies. Personal bravery was not wanting, but there was none of that determination not to give in which makes it so hard for the best soldier to win a battle, when they met with it in their opponents. All this will be changed in a striking manner when once the patience of France has become exhausted, and we do not see how the EMPEROR can much longer endure the provocation ho is so constantly re ceiving ; nor do we see how, in a political sense, he will be wise in letting Prussia assume so vast an ascendancy in Europe. At any rate it is no secret that there is a great deal of preparation going on in France, and though some may think or choose to declare that it means nothing, they will now find out their mistake. Whatever course he may deem it expedient to adopt, there is no doubt that the Emperor NAPOLEON can ill be spared from the important post he now fills ; and beyond this it would be a great drawback if he were not able to preside over his councils with vigour and energy. It is, therefore, satisfactory to hear that his MA JESTY was able to hold a review on Monday, and that he seemed as well as usual. It has added greatly to the very unsettled state of feeling in Paris of late that the health of the EMPEROR should have been at best so doubtful ; but there seems every reason to think now that he has recovered, or at least is in a fair way of being perfectly restored to health before long. So far as we can see at present he seems the only man living who can be any check upon BISMARCK, and withstand in a great measure the rapid en croachments of Prusssia. Ile may err in judgment in his mode of carrying out his difficult mission, but we are convinced that he will act with skill and with spirit, and conduct the policy of France on very different principles to those which now obtain favour in Berlin. King VICTOREMMANUEL has en teredVenice at last, and thus we have seen realised a hope that for a long timo seemed to be most illusory, and far too poetical for our practical age. It is needless to say that he was everywhere received with the greatest enthu siasm, and the assemblage was a very magnificent one which welcomed him. We may well reflect, however, since we are at a distance from the excite ment of the scene, whether those most immediately concerned will show judgment and make their triumph conducive to lasting good as well as to present glory. Italy must be governed in a very different manner from that in which it has hitherto been if its inhabitants would really regenerate the land as well as people, filling their long cherished scheme of setting it free from a foreign yoke. Perhaps King VICTOR EMMANUEL may find that his most difficult work has yet to begin, and that he must concentrate his energies, and do his uttermost to succeed in his arduous endeavour. Apart from these forebodings there is much to at tract and interest in the spectacle that was yester day witnessed in the fair City of St. Mark. It is in many respects one of the most striking incidents in history of our time, and we may well hope that the change then made will be one of benefits and blessings to those most concerned, and be of happy augury to the nations of Europe id general. It teaches spair, and to say that us one less on t hithis rate, or t t h h a a t t ev it en i t s w i i d u l e no t t o tadkee place because we do not think it likely that it will. Few tasks seemed more difficult of accomplishment at one time than that of a free Italy, and yet we now see the idea carried out in a manner which the most scornful and sceptical cannot deny or doubt. It now remains for the Italian people to show themselves worthy of the success which has become theirs, and to let their progress keep pace with their prosperity, so that they may not be their acc used of missing their desti n y through own lect. It is very much to be lamented that while irri gation is universally admitted to be the sovereign remedy for the wants of India there have been so many difficulties and obstacles, real or apparent, in the way of applying it. It is almost always the case in a matter of this sort thatthnearteuraarlelyrievnaolusgchheemacehs and theories, wh ose advocates seem to their own methodthe bthesetn;mblutitpiltiewitoyulodf such eein to impartial observers that i a t n y wo x u c excuse r f o a r t h t e h r e , total one neglect of the matter. sug gestions does not affor d might suppose, indicate th e existence of a pressing necessity, since s o many persons perceived the want and attempted to find a remedy. The Government of India does not un fortunately share this opinion, and is glad to make the excuse of " doctor's disagreements" to let the whole thing rest. Sir ARTHUR COTTON, whose name is so well known in connection with this ques tion, complains that the Government of India has not given his plans a fair hearing, and maintains that the failure of the Ganges Canal to yield the expected returns is entirely owing to radical mis takes in its projection. Whether this be the case dt eh w soe h rr o ov l ue e gs subject a i n s d certainly a one in - o ci wr u h i i r e y nho welland the By the appointment h practical investigation. of a sufficient of competent and unbiassed commissioners it numberwould not surely be very difficult to arrive at some definite conclusion as to which method of construction pro duced the most profitable results. Sir ARTHUR iews respecting th e COTTON contends that his y Gangr.z canal have never obtained a fair hearing fzoFa the authorities, and that no member of the Ga nges canal committee had ever planned or exe cutt xl a great hydraulic work, so that he does not consider them competent judges of the question. It would surely be well in a matter of such vital im po.rtancc to appoint men who are entirely removed from the local feuds and professional jealousies of the country to consider the subject. The irrigation of India is an imperial question, and the consequences of neglecting it are felt through a wide extent of country, influencing and affecting a population numbered by millions. The terrible famin eof this year has unfortunately given ample occasion for a fresh inquiry into the whole subject. Were irrigation fully carried out throughout India, the risk of these periodical and disastrous famines would be very much diminished. There would be the double advantage of the increased fertility of the soil, and of the means of communication for conveying stores to the distressed districts. The lack of such means has very greatly added to the sufferings of the natives during the present famine, and even during ordinary times the ex istence of ready facilities for communication would be of very great service in encouraging commercial enterprise and giving a stimulus to trade. In connection with this subject of irrigation it is not uninteresting to turn to the report of Dr. LEITH, President of the Bombay Sanitary Commis sion, and Deputy Inspector-General of Hospitals, respecting the sanitary condition of the large towns in Bombay. The details which he gives show very forcibly the great need which exists in all parts of India of a thorough sanitary reform. The lack of water is here, as in most other cases, an important feature in the narrative, and it is a want which our engineers ought surely to be able to supply. India might be as destitute of water as the Great Sahara itself, instead of posses sing such noble rivers. Sholapoor, in the Poonah collectorate, which Dr. LEITH gives as an example of the great towns of the Presidency, has a military cantonment adjoining it, and has a large and rapidly increasing population. In 1851 it was reckoned to have more than 30,000 inhabitants, and the number has of course considerably increased. What are the conditions of the water supply for all this population ? " Water is obtained chiefly from the Sideshwur tank, which has been excavated at the south of the town, and which is now protected by the police from washing and bathing ; but the ancient custom is still followed of drawing water by standing in it, and scrubbing the water vessels; in it. When the rains cease the impurities of this tank become concentrated, and in the hot season it dries up." So much for the principal reservoir; but there is another. "A large quarry hole, Khumdoha Tulas, is used for the col lection of surface water ; but this water, which the people consider good, is greatly defiled, for persons were seen bathing and washing their clothes in it, while others were drinking or drawing water from it beside them." The municipality has pro vided a number of wells, which high-caste people will not use, but which are very serviceable to the lowest rank of Hindoos. Under such a sys tem as this we need not be surprised at the de vastating effect which fever or cholera have when they once begin their agency among the people. When we add to the scantiness and impurity of the water the total absence of drainage, we shall only marvel that the state of public health is not very much worse than it is. Dr. LEITII attributes some of this comparative immunity to the dryness of the air, without which he says human life could scarcely be maintained under such conditions. At L all events, it is very evident that a better supply of water is urgently needed throughout India, both in town and country, and we hope that the question will not be longer allowed to stay. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWl( CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Wednesday Evening. _ _ The Aloniteur contains an advice from Berlin, according to which Count de Wimpffen, repre sentative of Austria at that court, on Monday pre sented to the King his letters of official credit at an audience, at which was present M. de Thiele, charged temporarily with the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs during the absence of the Count de Bismarck. In consequence of the signing of the Treaty of Peace between Prussia and Saxony, the disband ment of the Prussian troops stationed in Saxony has just been ordered. A private telegram from St. Petersburg an nounces that the Prince Royal of Prussia, who visits Russia to be present at the marriage of the Grand Duke, heir to the throne, had arrived at the Imperial Palace of Tzarskco-Selo. His Imperial Highness is accompanied by a numerous suite. The Prince of Wales has also arrived at St. Petersburg. He stopped at Potsdam, where he had a long inter view with the King of Prussia. A letter from Berne, dated Oct. 29, says that, encouraged by the success which has attended the operations of the works of utility, the most import ant for Switzerland, the Federal Government is about to undertake an equally interesting task, the object of which is to dry up 42,848 acres of marshy land in the environs of the lakes of Morat, Neuf chatel, and Bienne. The last operation was the cor rection of the waters of the Rhone. The present is termed the correction of the waters of the Jura. The expense is estimated at 8,000,000 f. By the demolition of buildings the beautiful church of St. Nicolas des Champs is open to view from the south, and in a short time it will be com pletely isolated, and it will form one of the remark able ornaments of Paris. The front is profusely ornamented. Over the door is a Latin inscription engraved on marble, which explains the circum stances under which the enlargement of the church took place in the reign of Henry 111. The commission for the re-organisation of the army had its first sitting yesterday, at which the Emperor presided. Nothing official is yet published in regard to the changes which will be proposed, but it is said that two plans are under considera tion. The chief object of both of them is to select, in the first instance, the best soldiers poSsible, and always to have a number of well-trained soldiers in reserve who would be instantly available in case of ldiers raised under one of any th the categories emergency . to be Theproposedo s -will never be taken from their occupations in time of peace. The weather to-day has even been more beautiful than yesterday, and the temperature was nearly that of midsummer. Although it has been so calm and I settled for some days at Paris, the bulletin of the Observatory announces that there has been dull and stormy weather upon several points, and that the sea was very heavy yesterday at Boulogne and in the Straits of Gibraltar. The Academy of Sciences was, a day or two ago, occupied with an historical and scientific fact of peculiar interest, the discovery of the skull of a m an close to some fossil bones of antediluvian animals. The skull was found near Eguisheim, in the Depart ment of the Haut Rhine. The point discussed, in reference to this discovery, was whether man has only existed for 6,000 years, or whether the human race has not been created for some hundred thou sand years, as some anthropologists contend. The Journal des Debuts has a satirical article in reference to the measure adopted by the Italian Government recalling the bishops who had been compelled to leave their dioceses in consequence of the changes which have taken place. In this article the Debats, in a curious vein, says that the oppo nents of the measure are disciples of Machiavelli, and are neither satisfied with the departure of the bishops nor with their return, as they ammo the M iss negi THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 8, 1866. Italian Government with persecution in both of these opposite cases. It is difficult to understand the article, but it is meant to blame the Italian Government. It is stated that the portion of the head of Car dinal Richelieu is to be placed with the remains in the mausoleum now in the Church of the Sorbonne. That mausoleum was erected in 1694. It was opened during the Revolution in 1793. The head of the Cardinal was then taken away, and insults offered over the tomb. By a decree of the Consulate of October 11, 1801, the tomb of the Cardinal was deposed at the Muscle Francais, now the School of Fine Arts in the Rue des Petits Augustins; and in 1825, the period when the Church of the Sorbonne was restored to public worship, it was repaired and Flaced where it now is. This tomb represents the Cardinal in a reclin ing position, with his right hand upon his heart. At his feet is Science in grief at having lost its most zealous protector. This work, entirely of white marble of a single block, is the masterpiece of the celebrated Girardin, the favourite sculptor of Louis the Fourteenth, the author of a great number of the statues which adorn the Park of Versailles, and who also produced the famous equestrian statue which was erected in the Place des Victoires, and was destroyed during the revolution of 1793. In 1719 the Czar Peter the Great, who had a high idea of the genius of Richelieu, was lost in admiration while gazing at the statue, and exclaimed, " Oh, great man, if thou wert living, I would give thee one-half of my empire to teach me how to govern the other half." In the vault where the remains of the Cardinal were first deposited is a long inscription, which commences thus :—" Here reposes the great Arnaud Jean Duplessis, Cardinal de Richelieu, Duke and Peer of France, great in birth, great in mind, great in wisdom, great in courage, great infortune, but still greater in piety." The. Constitutionnel says itt has received accounts from Trieste which state that the health of the Em press Charlotte of Mexico had so much improved that there is now reason to hope for her speedy re covery. _ _ M. Fery d'Eslands, Auditor of the Cour des Comptes, is about to be married to Madlle. Eugenie de Casabianca, daughter of Count de Casabianca, Senator, Procureur-General at that Court. The Emperor and Empress have signed the contract of marriage. _ _ There was some excellent races at Marseilles on Sunday last. The Prix du Department, 3,000 f., in which nine horses were engaged, was won easily by Finette; La Tracone, 2 ; Normandie, 3. The second race, for the Prix des Phocdens (gen tlemen riders), was won by Schooner, belonging to Mr. F. Kent. The great prize of the City of Marseilles, 10,000 f., for entire horses and mares, three-yr-old and up wards, was won by Germanique by half a length ; Fleurette, 2. 11 horses ran ; 16 pail forfeit. Total amount of the prize, 15,600 f. ; 1,200 f. to the second. The Prix de Consolation was won by Said. Sir Henry Bulwer, for a long time English Am bassador at Constantinople, has just arrived in Paris from that city. The grand review in the Bois de Boulogne passed off with great eclat, but there was no particular in cident which needs description. It was remarked that the Emperor seemed to be in perfect health. He was rapturously received everywhere. There were 22,000 men under arms, commanded by Mar shal St. Jean d'Angeley. The Empress and the imperial Prince were present, her Majesty in the costume of an amazon, and the Prince Imperial in the uniform of a corporal of Grenadiers of the Guard. A curious and interesting literary discovery has been made—a song or hymn in three stanzas, by Rouget do l'lsle, the author of the " Marseillaise." It is possibly genuine. At all events, it is of the same energetic and stirring style. It was composed 5 Nivose, an VI., at the time of the war against England. I subjoin the first verse : Aux armes Qu'aux chants do la pail Succede l'hymne des battaillos. Aux armes! Loin do nos murailles, Precipitous nos rangs epais. Qu'importe l'Europa vaincue I Qu'importe la futile eperduet Daces roil tromblant devant nous ! La pail nous est-elle permise ? Nos ennemis de la Tamise N'ont point succumbs sous nos coups. Here is a literal translation : sTuoccaeremdss the m ! T h o y the n ofso battles. To peace les. To arms! Far from our walls Let us precipitate our serried ranks. What matters it that Europe's conquered ? What matters the bewildered crowd Of the kings trembling before us ? Are we permitted to have peace ? Our enemies of the Thames Are not prostrated under our blows. Some have doubted whether Rouget de l'lsle was the author of the " Marseillaise," the national " God Save the the music was b hl y ilun ll gn r ", . has Arne, just been u disputed.t the ot r names composer Some have v f s e a b y een mentioned. [The most affecting and, let us also believe, the most authentic account of all, as to the circumstances under which the sublime National Hymn of the " Marseillaise" wa s written by young R ouget de I'Lsle, is to be found, as our Paris Correspondent is of course himself perfectly aware, in one of the finest chapters of all in Lamartine's " History of the Girondists.") SWEARING IN THE NEW LORD MAYOR.—This morning the customary usages were observed in installing Mr. Alderman Gabriel into the office of Lord Mayor. The Lord Mayor elect having subscribed the usual oaths and , declarations, received the chain and other insignia of his office, to which he was duly installed. His lordship then received the congratulations of his friends, which ho gra ciously acknowledged. MR. LOWE AND HIS CONSTITUENTS.--On Monday the Town Council of Caine resolved, by an overwhelming majority, to abandon their usual annual banquet, rather than ask Mr. Lowe, the member for the borough, as is customary, to bo their guest. PRESENTATION OF A TESTIIIONIAL.—One of those reunions, so honourable alike to the employer and employed, took place last evening at the establishment of Messrs. Defries, Houndsditch, the occasion being the pre sentation of a service of plate to Mr. John Levy, the chief cashier, he having entered oni his 42d year of service. The testimonial, which was of the most chaste and beauti ful description, was displayed in the groat show-room of the new promises, now nearly complete,and elicited univer sal admiration. Mr. Coleman Defries having been solicited to present the gift, that gentleman took the chair, having Mr. John Levy on his right ; the vice-chair was filled by Mr. Moss Defries. The chairman said it afforded him the greatest satisfaction in presenting Mr. Levy with the elegant service of plate now before him. He had been in the service of the firm of J. Defries and Co. for over forty years, and by his upright and honest conduct he had won the esteem and respect not only of the firm, but of every emplcyd connected therewith. He entered their:service at a very early age, and the honourable position he had arrived at was attributable entirely to his own perseverance, and it ought to act as an incentive to others who, though now only holding subordinate positions, had a moans open to them to distinguish themselves much more easy than had been the lot of Mr. Levy. On behalf of the subscribers he begged Mr. Levy to accept the testimonial, and he hoped he might long live to enjoy the possession of it. Mr. Levy, in returning thanks, expressed his deep gratitude to the chairman for the kind ac knowledgment of his services. lie had merely done his duty, and nothing more. He hoped that his fel low employes would strive to do their utmost for the firm, as during his long connection with it he had found they were ever ready to encourage merit, and to reward industry and perseverance. He should remember the pleasures of that evening to his latest day, and he hoped his sons would value it as one of their greatest treasures, when, in the course of nature, it must pass into their pos session. Mr. Moss Defries proposed the health of their managers and home employes, coupling with the toast the name of Mr. Harvey. H e said he felt a pride in being a member of a firm so muc h r espected by its servants ; they all worked a lik e th ere, f ro m himself and brothers down to the small es t b oy i n t h e place, and their greatest pleasure was to advance the interests of all, who by honesty, sobriety, and industry distinguished themselves. Mr. Harvey returned thanks and urged upon all to imitate the example of Mr. Levy. The health of Mr. Berry was also proposed and suitably acknowledged by that gentleman.

(From the Times.) The Right lion. Sir James L. Knight Bruce, whose resignation of the high office of Lord Justice of Appeal in Chancery was announced by us only a fortnight ago, died yesterday afternoon at the Priory, Roehampton, at the age of 75. Born in 1791, a younger son of Mr. John Knight, a gentle man of independent property in Devonshire, by Margaret, the only child and heiress of Mr. William Bruce, a member of the family of Bruce of Kennet, formerly High Sheriff of Glamorganshire, in which county he possessed a considerable property, the late Sir J. Knight Bruce, then Mr. Knight, was, in 1812, admitted a student of Lincoln's-inn, and in 1817 called to the bar. After attending the Welsh circuit for a short time he exchanged the Common Law for the Equity Bar, where his great talents and industry soon secured a large practice. In 1829 he was appointed a King's Counsel, and in 1831 was returned to Parliament for Bishop's Castle—a borough whose very name is probably known to but few of the present generation, and known only to them as having been condemned to disfranchise ment by one of the schedules to the Reform Bill. In 1834 he received the degree of D.C.L., " honoris causa," from the University of Oxford. A Conservative in politics, he was one of the Counsel heard at the bar of the House of Lords in 1835 against the Corporation Reform Act, Sir C. Wetherell being his leader. In 1837, the year in which he assumed the additional surname of Bruce by Royal licence, he closed his Parliamentary career by an unsuccessful struggle for the representation of the borough of Cambridge ; and in 1841, at the age of 50, was raised to the bench as Vice-Chan cellor. Ten years later, in 1851, on the creation of the Court of Appeal, Lord Cranworth and Sir J. K. Bruce were selected as the first Lords Justices. In the followingyear, upon Lord Cranworth's eleva tion to the Woolsack, Sir George Turner was ap pointed as his colleague, and Sir J. Knight Bruce became senior Lord Justice, a position :he only re signed a fortnight before his death. By the legal profession among whom his life was passed, and espe cially by the senior members, who have conducted or argued cases before him for the last quarter of a century, the death of Sir Knight Bruce is regarded not only as the the loss of an upright and consci entious Judge, but as the removal of one who, unit ing an intimate acquaintance with the present to a long experience of the former system of equity juris prudence, was as profound a lawyer as ever adorned the Bench. His language was lucid and terse, his style strictly classical, his manner courteous arid dignified, his virtues, public and private, numerous, and his foibles few. Of his indefatigable energy and capacity for work no better instance can be given than his having, just before the long vacation in 1850, the most pressing period of the legal year, performed the work of three Courts during the illness of the two other Vice-Chancellors, with so much discrimination, ability, and good temper—to use Mr. Foss's words —that a public expression of respectful admiration was elicited from the whole Bar in an address from the Attorney-General. The following extract from an article in the Guar dian is attributed to a great dignity at the Bar, than whom no one is better entitled to pronounce an opinion : " But though his great penetration and quickness and his wonderful aptitude and talent for business, made him, in his best days, an admirable Judge, so far as concerned the in terests of the uuitors, yet his habit, which very much increased on him of late years, of deciding the case on hand with afew short words, without examining and stating at length the reasons for his judgment and the law which bare on it, have prevented him perhaps from taking that great and dis tinguished position as Judge of which ho was so eminently capable. Of the numerous judgments delivered by him,those which will hereafter be referred to as settling or elucidating the law are few and far between ; and their number is by no means such as we should have anticipated from his great general reputation and undoubted learning; and capacity Yet there are some few judgments of his which will be re membered, not only for their sparkling cleverness and power, but as examples of legal reasoning, and as settle ments of vexed and intricate legal questions. Sometimes, too, there was a certain irrepressible humour about even his ,gravest judgments, which was eminently characteristic of his general mode of getting through the otherwise dull and prosaic transactions of the court in which he sat. Thus, in the ' Burgess's anchovy case,' in which two brothers Bur gess, sons of the original inventor of the sauce, wore the litigants, and in which the brother who succeeded to the business and the sauce complained that the brother who had not inherited it was nevertheless vending Burgess's sauce, the Lord Justice, deciding against the complainant, commenced as follows: the Queen's subjects are en titled to manufacture pickles and sauces, and,not the less so that their fathers have done it before them. All the Queen's subjects are entitled to use their own names, and not the less so that their fathers have done it before them. , The conclusion followed, of course. The late Lord Justice, too, though not what would now bo called a High Church man, upheld, more strictly than any one on the bench, the principle that a judge cannot recognise judicially as that Christianity which is legally and ipso facto part and parcel of the constitution, any other form of the Christian religion than that established by law. In one case some years ago he went so far as to order a case to stand over that proof might be given that certain flagrant departures from right, proved in . the cause! and urged as the grounds for the re moval of a dissenting minister, were inconsistent with the principle of the sect in question. And in the well-known case of the Agapemone, his lordship, then Vice-Chancellor, laid it down, net perhaps without reason, that it would be as proper for the Court to intrust its ward to ' a camp of gipsies' as to the so-called 'religious body' with which ho was then dealing." The following is an extract from the opening of his judgment in " Barrow v. Barrow,"—a good specimen of his wit, humour, and felicity of expres sion " These and two other suits are the fruits of au alliance between a solicitor and a widow who, fur the first GO days of their married life—namely, from the 30th July to the 28th September, 1850, lived, as well as quarrelled, toge ther, but at the end of that period parted, exchanging a state of conflict which, though continual, was merely do mestic, for the more conspicuous, more disciplined, and more effectual warfare of Lineal's-inn and Doctors'- commons." To this extract others might be added from his judgments in " Thomas v. Roberts" (the Agape mone case), in " Plower v. APDonough," and many well-known cases ; but we prefer to close this me moir with a quotation from his own characteristic and pathetic words on taking his seat in court after the death of Vice-Chancellor Shadwell, leaving our readers to apply the description, so far as it may be applicable, to the late Sir J. Knight Bruce : _ _ "A Judge distinguished for his great knowledge of the law heudininistered—distinguished for his various acquire ments —' swift to hear," slow to wrath,' pure and blameless in his life, an example of courtesy, gentleness, and amenity, who never uttered a word intended to give pain, nor har- boured one unkind thought or one acrimonious feeling. But he is gone. _Piero et meminisse relictum est." Sir J. Knight Bruce married Eliza, the daughter of Mr. Thos. Newte, by whom he had several chil dren. His eldest son, Horace Lewis, died in 1848, leaving an only son, John Wyndham, now of the 15th Hussars. His second son, Lewis Bruce, survives him. His youngest son, Geo. Hamilton Wyndham, was in the 3d Light Dragoons, and was killed in the Sikh War at the battle of Ferozeshab. Of his daughters, one married Mr. F. S. D. Tyssen ; the other is the widow of Mr. John Geo. Phillimore, formerly M.P. for Leominster. The late Sir J. Knight Bruce was the youngest of three brothers, of whom the eldest, Mr. John Bruce Pryce, of Duffryn, Glamorgaushire, is the sole survivor. The second brother, the Rev. William Bruce Knight, was Dean of Llandaff, and died in 1845. His nephew, Mr. Bruce Pryce's second son, the Right Hon. H. A. Bruce, M.P., was Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education under the late Ministry. His groat nephew, Mr. A. C. Bruce, of the Equity Bar, was a candidate in the Conservative interest for the Sandwich borough at the late general election, but retired before the nomination. The Marquis de Lavalette, who has been on a short visit to the Count de Flahault, left on Tuesday even ing on his return to Paris. The Earl and Countess De Grey have arrived at Nocton Park, Lincolnshire, from Studley Royal, near Ripon. The Countess of Ripon is staying at Nocton. The marriage of the Earl of Rosslyn and the Hon.

The Queen walked and drove in the grounds yesterday afternoon, and went out this morning, accompanied by her Royal Highness Princess Louise.

In the course of the judgment delivered by the Master of the Rolls in the cause of Colenso Gladstone, his lordship stated that Miss Burdett Coutts contributed a large portion of the funds for endowing the Bishopric of Natal. This is a misap prehension, Miss Coutts took no part whatever in founding that see, the merit of which we believe to be chiefly due to the munificence of a brother and sister. Neither has that lady had the remotest con nexion with the controversies which have been car ried on respecting Natal. Miss Coutts is, however, the sole foundress of three other colonial bishop rics, namely, Adelaide, Cape Town, and British Columbia. PARAGUAY. The news by the Royal Mail steamer Oneida from the Brazils is very discouraging in all respects for the allies, politically and commercially. The peace negotiations, as the following Brazilian despatch shows, have had no result, and Lopez has plenty of courage and men to carry out his views. The Standard of September 19 has the following : IMPORTANT BRAZILIAN COMMUNICATION. We have been favoured in a semi-official manner with the following purport of despatches just received from Ad miral Tamandar6 ; the Brazilians of course are entirely opposed to the rumoured peace, so that wo must receive the annexed information cum grano sails:— _ "The propositions of peace made by Lopez have bad no result at all. "Polidoro refused to assist at the interview, which took place between Mitre, Flores, and Lopez. " After that Mitre, Flores, Octaviano, and Polidoro have met together, and have been unanimous to make known to Lopez that the peace could not be accepted, only with the condition of executing all clauses of the treaty of _ _ _ " And Lopez, on being infornied of that resolution, re plied, Very well, if so, I will continue the war with so much horror that the world will be stupifiod, and Paraguay will be my tomb."' _ _ Hostilities were immediately resumed, and the attack on Curnpaity ended in a loss of over one third of the allied army. Notwithstanding this the Emperor of Brazil has granted 1,271 condecorations and titles, of which we have been favoured with a list too long and unimportant to be reproduced. The Provincial Bank of Buenos Ayres has made an issue of £BOO,OOO in Treasury Bills, and has passed a law for extra import and export duty. President General Flores has returned to Monte video with the remnant of his army, 400 men. In his capital, as well as at Buenos .Ayres, fears of re volution are entertained. From abroad news is equally unfavourable to the allies. The United States Government have ordered their Ministers to ask for their passports on account of refusing the Hon. Mr. Washburn a passage to Paraguay—and now it seems the French gunboat Decidee has met the same fate. All this broods little good for tbo allies, and peace is greatly to be desired.

TIIE REFORM LEAGUE.—The weekly meeting of the council of this league was held last evening, at the offices, Adelphi-terrace, Mr. Edmond Beales, the president, in the chair. A letter was read from the secretary of the Working Men's Association, inviting the president and council to attend the trade and friendly societies' reform demonstration on the 3d December. A resolution in favour of the acceptance of the invitation was carried by a majo rity. Mr. Mantle, a member of the deputation appointed to attend the working men's meeting at Dublin, reported that the mission, as regarded present apparent results, was a total failure. He said the meeting was composed in groat part of Fenians and Orangemen, tho latter being the more noisy and dangerous element, as they evidently attended for the purpose of creating a row. He also wished to men tion a fact which he had not seen stated in the papers, viz., that a lump of wood was thrown at Mr. Bright, at the working men's meeting.* He believed the Catholic priests of Ireland were almost to a man in favour of the platform of the Reform League, as they believed it would have the salutary effect of drawing the people from the Fenian movement.

By George Henry Smith (Longman and Co.)—An eighteen-pennY pamphlet-shaped introductory treatise upon one of the most practically important of all the sciences a treatise designed chiefly for the use of schools and of junior students, and accompanied by an avowed hope, on the part of the compiler, that before long this vitally important portion of our knowledge may be taught at all our seminaries pari passu with the science of History. An aspiration which is at once enforced and explained by the motto so admirablY well selected by Mr. Smith for his title-page from the " Harmonies Economiques" of Frederic Bastiat—where that illustrious and lamented political economist has sententiously remarked —" Toute mesure legislative qui rend la vie Tria terielle difficile nuit a la vie des nations." Al l utterance so profound and yet so perfectly obvious in its wisdom that it might be emblazoned upon the typical banner of Free Trade. Twenty chapters form the subdivisions of this admirably lucid, in structive, and, let us even say, this entertaining trea tise, in the course of which the writer makes his young reader acquainted with the full significanc e of such perfectly distinct yet harmoniously in terwoven subjects as (among others) Labour, Ex change, Money, Property, Wages, Capital and in terest, Demand and Supply, Consumption and Pro duction, Banking and Credit, Poverty and Wealth, the Moral of Man's Wants and the Mechanism of Society. By way of a sort of Supplementary Reca pitulation of the entire series of these Thirty Char ters, in the course of which the labyrinthine windings of the whole of this intricate science of Political Economy have been thridded, from the outermos t porch of the maze to its innermost centre, by th e learned author, in his capacity as instructor, fol lowed step after step by the reader as his faithful attendant—we have Man considered byMr. Smith at the conclusion of this profound yet popular treatise-- on the one hand as an Isolated being, and on the other as a Social being—Man the Hermit and Man the Gregarious and Cosmopolitan. Texts from time Holy Bible. Explained by the 11e 1 1 3 of the Ancient Monuments. Illustrated by Joseph Bonomi. (Day and Son, limited). Welcome at any time as this book could not fai l to be among earnest and reverential biblical students of all ranks and classes, it is especially welcome nowadays, when Essayists and Reviewers, when Colensos and Renans are striving to loosen the foundations of popular belief in the holy an d august records of revealed religion. The work 13 in no way whatever, that we can see, con troversial in its character. It is simply archoe logical, chronological, topographical, ethnolo gical, and historical by turns. It is a book that might lie upon the table or stand upon the bookshelf side by side with the Douay Bible, with the Latin Vulgate of St. Jerome, with the Sainte Bible of th e French Catholics, and the Holy Bible as it is cir culated among English Protestants. What Mr. Sharpe's pen and Mr. Bonomi's pencil have her e to do with, in point of fact, is with facts—not wit h Opinions, but with Facts ! and as indicative upo n the very face of it, of its strictly unsectarian cha racter—or we are very much mistaken, indeed, i n writing thus of the religious views of author and ar tist—the former (Samuel Sharpe) is as indubit ably a staunch Protestant, as the latter (JosePh Bonomi) is, in his turn, a staunch Catholic. Never theless, dealing with facts—facts drawn from th e ancient monuments by pen and by pencil—the illus trator and the commentator work harmoniously together throughout the whole of this very curious and profoundly interesting volume. A few pla ns and views are interspersed among the two hundre d pages of letterpress or thereabouts. But, together with these sparsely distributed Plans and Vier s ' there are here also no less than one hundred and sixty drawings on wood from the hand of Mr. Bonorui•-' drawings exquisitely elucidatory, may we venture to say wonderfully corroborative? from the undestroy ea monuments of antiquity of the absolute authenticity', of the complete and entire veracity of the records of Holy Writ !
