Mr. SumNEF. has, it seems, taken npon himself the office of spokesman for the Radicals. He has been delivering an address at Boston on " The One Man in Power versus Congress," so that there should b e no possible mistake about his subject or about the manner in which he meant to handle it. may eas ily guess the tone and temper of the harangue, the denunciations about the abuse of Presidential power, the fervent appeals on behalf of the negro, are none of them difficult to imagine. Mr. SUMNER animadverted at some length upon Mr. JOHNSON'S conduct of the Government, and accused him of having assumed the legislative functions. The PRESIDENT might with some justice retort upon his adversaries that they wish or intend to usurp the whole administration of the State. Representing as they do only a portion of the country, they are ambitious not only of legislating for the whole popu- lation, but of dictating to the Executive both with regard to domestic and foreign policy, and of re- constructing the famous constitution which hitherto all parties have agreed to reverence. Mr. SUMNER has found out a new . grievance. The present State Governments of the South are not in accordance with Republican form. He does not exactly tell us what is the particular form of administration which be considers more orthodox, but tells us that all negyoes who hold to their allegiance are entitled to citizenship, and he insists upon the adoption of the Constitutional amendment. It is the fashion now during the recess for the Radical orators and writers throughout the country to imply that the admission of the Southern States to Congress only depends upon their acceptance of this much-talked of amendment. Those who take the trouble to look back over the debates of Congress and the manifestoes of the Radical party will find, however, that no such intimation is given. It is very con venient to try to win the suffrages of the Moderate part y, and to throw the onus of the exclusion of Southern representatives upon the States them selves ; but there is no reason whatever to suppose or believe th a t the Radical party would tolerate the admission of t h e presence of Southern members. The Radicals would naturally object to the diminu tion of their political Power consequent upon the admission of an opposin g force. They are shrewed enough to provide themselves with a remedy should public opinion prove too strong for them. By in sisting upon negro suffrage they will contr i ve t h at the representatives of the Southern States shall be i n reality members of their o wn party. Should they be unable to carry this by getting the repre sentation based upon population, or, iu other w or d s, • the blacks in calculating the re_ by not reckonm, p r esentation of the South—a principle not unfair i n itself, and therefore more likely to be carried—they num of S will so greatly diminish the l e r thember less formida. Southern representatives as to rent In no case could the Southern members effect any. 'adlls have to thing by themselves; what the L, fear is their junction with the Northernic Democrats or PRESIDENT'S party. The extreme virulence of the ultra-Radicals cannot, of course, commend itself to men of intelligence and reflection. One of the great drawbacks to the American Constitution is now making itself felt in the agita tion respecting the nest Presidential election, There are of course plenty of candidates, including a large proportion of military heroes. General GRANT seems likely to have a good chance, though SHER MAN and SHERIDAN are also talked of. BUTLER is eager for the White llouse, bnt we should be un willing to believe that any temporary excitement or Radical vehemence could elect such a man to the supreme office in a country like America. It would unquestionably be the best thing for the Union if ANDREW JOHNSON' were re-elected ; but, thanks to the predominance of Radicalism, of this there seems little chance. There is no knowing, however, what turn events may take, and although he has at pre sent the worst of the game, and is openly threatened with impeachment, neither Europe nor America will forget his services to his country in a time of unexampled difficulty and trial. Mr. DAvis's trial is still talked of indefinitely. It is believed that his counsel will demand a writ of habeas corpus to bring him before the State Courts. His health is currently reported to be failing, and it will be a lasting reproach to the American people should they suffer him to die in prisot 3 / 4 , Strange news reaches us from Vancouver's Island. A meet ing has been held inVictoria, at which Mr. M'CLURE announced the intention of the Government to peti tion for a responsible government and a reciprocity treaty with the United States ; or, if this failed, to solicit the QUEEN for the annexation of the colony to the United States ! This is very cool, and proves that Mr. Joux BRIGHT and Professor GOLDWIN SMITH are not alone in their glory. The text of the address delivered by Herr VON PATOW, the Prussian Civil Governor, upon taking formal possession of Frankfort, is a very Prussian affair. It is quite characteristic of the Berlin Go- vernment from beginning to end, and we are no . _ surprised that it should have called forth a protest from the citizens. We consider that this annexation of Frankfort is one of the most unconscionable acts of the war, and reveals in a most conspicuous man ner the state of political morality that exists in high places in Prussia, and is eagerly approved of by the people. It is really most irritating to peruse this address, and it must have been regarded by those whom it concerns as most insulting, which it cer tainly was. They were told in plain terms that the moment when the change was effected must be for them a moment of great "interest." Very interest ing, certainly, for the inhabitants of a free city to have their rights forfeited, and their liberties sup- pressed, and then to be told that this sacrifice was in the name of progress and liberty. Let us con- sider for a moment what is said to these martyrs to the ambition of Prussia. " You have now a father land in the highest sense of the word—a father land such as you never yet possessed, nor could have possessed." The latter part of this sentence is true, for the history of Frankfort would be very different if it had belonged to Prussia. The mem bers of a free city are to consider themselves fortu nate in exchanging their dearly cherished liberties in order to become the subjects of a King who " directs the destinies of a great kingdom with jus tice and wisdom, with power and leniency." Per- •••.. baps there could not be a better illustration of the inaccuracy of this statement than the course pursued by the Prussian Governor of Schleswig, who has just prohibited the raising of subscriptions by the Danish inhabitants for the purchase of a wedding gift to the Princess DAGMAR. The fact is that those who are unfortunate enough to be put under the dominion of the Berlin Government mast bid a long farewell to all their hopes of freedom, and forget that they were ever free citizens of an independent State. The worst part of the Berlin rule is that there are such unnecessary restrictions enforced, and so many arbitrary and irritating rules laid down that can serve no other purpose than that of exhi- biting the contempt felt for the opinion of others, and the want of consideration entertained for those under its control. The protest issued by the citizens of Frankfort is a very admirable one, and expresses in earnest and eloquent terms the respect they entertain for their old institutions, and the regret they experience at the nature of the changes thus forced upon them. It must be very mortifying to the self-sufficiency of the Prussians to meet with this check, which it is mo rally, if not politically. Here have the official organs of Berlin been declaiming about the strong desire felt by all the States to be annexed to Prussia, and now this protest appears, signed by the members of the two Legislative Corps, and by fifteen thousand of the citizens of the Free City. It is a contradic tion in terms to all that has been said by the Mi nisters to the Chambers, and eagerly reiterated by the press and people of Prussia. All who respect justice apd value independence must experience a feeling of regret when they peruse this solemn pro test, and agree in the truth of its assertions, the tone of its indignation, and the magnitude of the wrongs it rehearses. The citizens feel that they are giving up their privileges for no available equi valent, and this is indeed hard. They know too much to put faith in the good intentions of Prussia, and are too wise to think that the unity of Germany will be effected notwithstanding all that has been said about it actually taking place. Indeed it is ably shown here that the ruin of Frankfort is an injury to the cause professedly at heart instead of a step in its furtherance. " The strong hand of Prussia has undertaken to reconsti tute Germany, but its endeavours can only be crowned with success when a complete reconcilia tion has taken place between Northern and Southern Germany." This is quite true, as is also what fol lows, to the effect that " neutral ground between their respective limits can hardly be spared, and thus if Frankfort is reduced to be a Prussian provin cial town her power as mediator willbeover whereas, had she remained " free" and ~ indepen dent," she might have done good service in the work of national regeneration. Some remarkable words of the historian lIEEREN are quoted, which are very appropriate. " Four small jewels glisten in the Federal chain ; they are the four free cities which may not be eclipsed by the brilliancy of larger ones." Prussia may yet find the prophecy here uttered come true in her own case, and be like the despotism here alluded to, which would establish nothing but departments with prefects and mayors in place of political constitutions. "It would resemble the Roman empire, and terminate in the sunset of all political progress, and crush civilisation." We are glad that this protest should have appeared, and that the historian who denounces the unjust act of Prussia should also have to make mention of the noble vindication of their rights thus uttered by the vanquished. There is sometimes more real honour in a defeat than in a success, and the day may come sooner than some expect when Prussia will have to give up her ill-gotten gains L \ amidthaend fawn sneers upon and her.contempt of those who now flatter ,ble. An interesting affair is that of the Volunteers proceeding to Belgium, and at the present time it is especially desirable that a good feeling should exist between the English and the inhabitants of that little kingdom. lhe greatest enthusiasm seems to have prevailed hitherto, and will no doubt be continued to the end. The appearance of the Volunteers, who mustered a thousand strong, was very good, and in all quarters there has been an We THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 15, 1866 evident desire displayed to afford a genial welcome and a hearty hospitality to the visi- Many entertainments are in course of progress, and although the KING will not be able to do all he proposed, in consequence of the lamented illness of his sister, yet there will be ample oppor tunities of mirth and rejoicing, and Lbundant proofs afforded of the mutual goodwill that exists. The Burgomaster's address was a characteristic one, and full of spirit and enthusiasm. Ile welcomed to the old " Brabancan city" those wise citizens armed for the protection of their native hearths. He declared that the city of Brussels was proved to be the " trysting-place of neighbouring nations, and of fore seeing in the noble rivalries of these tournays ' a glorious promise for the future. Col. LOYD LINDSAY replied in an appropriate style, and testified his pride at being the commandant of the corps before them. Ile added that never before had so considerable a force been assembled on a foreign territory with so peaceful "an object." The commandant of the French also made a suitable address, and proposed the cry of Vice la Belgique, which was very warmly responded to. We hope these peaceful arrays will be all Belgium will witness for many a long year ; that this generation at any rate may not see the downfall of the little kingdom which has always been a source of interest to us in this country. :ors. The Australian mail gives us a satisfactory account of the position of affairs. The colonies seem to be prosperous and contented, and are occupying them selves chiefly in matters of useful legislation. At Melbourne the chief event of interest has been the arrival of the new Governor, Sir JOIIN MANNERS SUTTON, who arrived on the 13th of August, and was very well received by all parties, notwithstand ing the fierce political warfare that preceded the departure of his predecessor. All parties seem to have agreed upon receiving the new Governor with . respect, and, accordingly his levee, held within a week after his arrival, was very largely attended. It is customary in the Democratic city of Mel bourne to admit every one to such assemblies who presents himself in evening dress, and the new Governor, who in the plenitude of his satisfaction began shaking hands with all his visitors, soon found he had enough to do. It is a pretty sure sign that there is not much stirring in Victoria that this unwonted condescension on the part of the new dignitary has occasioned a good deal of speculation, some gravely asserting that it was a sign of American sympathies, while others demurred to any such serious construction. The Ministerial elections for the Assembly have all resulted in favour of the Government. Mr. MILLER, the new Minister of Railways, has, however, lost his seat in the Council, leaving the Government totally unre presented in the Upper House. This is an awk ward state of things, for though it is not in Victoria considered indispensable to have Ministerial representatives in both Houses it is very difficult to get on without them. The new Land Act still works well, and there are hopes of other useful measures. PARIS, Sunday Evening. The Moniteur states that the ratifications of the ,reaty of peace concluded between Austria and -taly were exchanged at Vienna on Friday. Tele graphic despatches have been received in Paris an nouncing that the towns of Mantua and Peschiera had been completely evacuated by the Austrian troops. The military authorities placed them under the orders of General Lebceuf, who immediately In New South Wales the session had begun quietly enough, and several very good measures relating to the internal administration of affairs have already been passed. The Ministry has wisely refrained from opening the old vexed party questions, and are occupying themselves with workhouses, cattle stealing, reformatories, and industrial schools. Our Australian colonies, like all other rapidly increasing communities, have plenty of such social difficulties to deal with, and it is high time the political combatants laid aside some of their keen contests for their consideration and settlement. Unfortunately party feeling runs high, and these matters are less exciting though more really urgent. sent them to their respective homes. The same operation will take place in regard to the other strong places of Venetia. An official contradiction is given to the report published in some of the journals that the Roman Legion formed at Antibes under the sanction of the Pope, and placed at the disposal of his Holiness, wears the French tri-coloured cockade. The new Legion, like the other Corps of the Pontifical Army, hoists the cockade and flag of the Holy Father. The following is from the Moniteur :—" Thanks to the efforts of the French Embassy at Constanti- nople the difference which existed between the Ottoman Government and the Principality of Montenegro seems likely to be definitively arranged• The lines of blockade constructed by the Turks in Montenegro, which obstructed the communication, in the interior have been destroyed. Patrons of territory to which the Porte had for a long time made claim have been given up by it to the Govern ment of Montenegro. There is, therefore, every reason to believe that pacified relations will be re established between the Ottoman Government and the Principality of Montenegro." The Memorial Diplomatique announces confi dently that Austria has taken a decisive step with a view to reconciliation with Hungary, and that at the meeting of the Diet in November next the ancient Constitution will be restored in its integrity. It appears, from the official tables of the compara tive receipts of direct and indirect taxes of the ' years 1864-64-65, that the results up to the month of March are satisfactory. The produce of the in direct taxes, excluding the amount upon sugar for the first three months of 1866, present an increase of 37,647,000 f., as compared with the correspond ing period of 1865. The month of September alone exhibits a decrease in the receipts. The inundations were no doubt the cause of this decrease. It is hoped that the tax upon sugars, estimated in the budget as 107 millions, will have entirely reached its usual amount by the end of the year. The Treasury has already received 79,482,000 f. under this head. The produce of direct taxes was much the same as in 1865• An eccentric character, a Baroness X--, resid- ing near the Place -Vendome, has just been found dead in her bed. Tbe place was miserable in the extreme. There was scarcely any furniture in it, and the bed was not fit for a human being. The apartment appeared as if no one had lived in it for a long time, but the Baroness had occupied it for 25 years. She paid an annual rent of about £6O sterling, and it has been ascertained that she had money in the funds which produced £2,000 per annum. Yet this woman always went out dressed like a beggar, and indeed she has been seen begging in the streets. She lived upon bread and refuse which she picked up in the streets or obtained from charitable persons. The body was almost like a skeleton, and a doctor, who was called in, gave his opinion that death was caused by exhaustion, pro duced from the want of proper nourishment. On Saturday, the 6th inst., she returned home about ten o'clock at night, and in passing the porter's lodge she fell down from weakness. The por ter offered her some assistance, which she refused, it is fully believed, because she feared she should be compelled to remunerate him. After sit ting down in the lodge for a few minutes she was ordered and went up stairs. She was never again seen alive. Some lodgers in the house, not having seen the Baroness for several days, the Commissary of Police was sent for, and, on the door being broken open, the emaciated body was found. She was about 75. She had several rooms, but they contained little else than dusty, worm-eaten papers. The windows had evidently not been cleaned for years. Some handsome new pieces of lfr. and 2fr. have recently been struck at the Mint. On one side is the head of the Emperor crowned with laurel, with the words " Napoleon 111., Emperor." On the re verse are the arms of France and the figures 1 or 2 to indicate the value of the coin. It is a curious fact that the centime, the rifth part of a sou or a halfpenny, has in all times been more scarce than the franc. When the decimal coinage was first in troduced the French Republic coined 50 million centime pieces, that is to say to the value of 500,000 fr. In 30 years afterwards they had nearly all dis appeared. They were bought up by the metal but ton manufacturers and cutlers. There formerly existed a liard, the fourth part of a sou.

The Royal Mail Company's steamship Tasmanian, with the above mails, has arrived here. She brings 66 passengers, $697,165 in specie, and 1,163 packages of cargo, chiefly consisting of bark, rubber, cocoa, and cochineal. The Tasmanian left St. Thomas on the Ist of Octo ber, and experienced heavy rains during six days. A hurricane visited the West India islands on the 29th of September. The West India and Pacific Navigation Company's wharf at St. Thomas was cut through by a coal ship and demolished. Several ships went ashore. The St. Thomas dock escaped injury. Her Majesty's ship Buzzard left for England on the 28th. Yellow fever and smallpox still lingered at St. Thomas. Two cases of yellow fever occurred on board the Tasmanian, both proving fatal.

REFRESHING READING.—A literary announcement from Leipzig runs thus : —" Our readers will be obliged to us for drawing their attention to some Sanscrit works which will shortly appear. We have not read the books ourselves, but, if their contents are as interesting as their titles, their perusal must be the acme of delight. The titles are : Swapautschakschavinthamantrastotra,' Triguuatmikakalikastotra," Upaugalalitavratodyapana, Sankarchtatschaturthivratodyapana,' and Auautatschse turdarivratakatha.' " THE ROMAN LEGION.—The Moniteur of yesterday says :—" Certain jonruals have announced that the Roman Legion formed at Antibes by the efforts of the French Go vernment, and placed by it at the disposition of the Pope, bore the French tricolour cockade. This information is quite incorrect. The new legion, like all the other corps of the Pontifical army, displayed the cockade and the flag of the Holy Father." DEATH OF THE DEAN OF NORWICH.—We regret to announce the death of the Hon. and Very Rev. George Pellew, Dean of Norwich, of Great Chart Rectory, Kent, on Saturday, after some months of failing health. The deceased Dean was the third son of Admiral Sir Edward Pellew, afterwards Viscount Exmouth, and was born at Torquay, Cornwall, in 1793. Educated at Eton and Corpus Christi College; Oxford (8.D., 1815 ; M.A. 1818 ; D.D., 1828), he received holy orders in 1817, and in 1823 became a Canon of Canterbury, where be resided until his appointment to the Deanery of Norwich in 1829, He was an accomplished scholar, and published, among other works, " Life of Lord Sidmouth" and several volumes of sermons. In 1820 ho married the Hon. Frances Adding ton, who survives him. The Dean leaves one son, Mr. IL E. Pellew, well known as an active member in all Church movements) and three, daughters—Viscountess Sidmouth, Mrs.. Ogle, and Mrs. Arkwright. THE GUARDS' EIGIIT-OAR RACE ON THE THAMES. —On Friday afternoon this exciting match for a silver cup, valued at £5O, given by Capt. Williams, of the Royal Horse Guards (Blue) for competition between crews picked from members of that regiment and the Scots Fusi lier Guards, new quartered at Windsor, took place on the Thames, over a course about a mile and a quarter in length, between the pleasant village of Bray and Maidenhead bridge., The Royal Horse Guards' boat was steered by Capt. Whitmore, Capt. Harford acting as coxswain to the Scots Fusiliers' crow. The starter was Capt. Adair, late of the Coldstream Guards, Mr. Ford acting as judge. There was a large number of spectators on the river side. The company included the Marquis of Worcester, the Hon. C. R. Carrington, Capt. Fuller, Capt. Winkfield, Col. Ewart, Lieut. Wombwell, Ridiugmaster Boswell, Mrs. Boswell,&c. ; while about half the members of each regiment were on the ground. An excellent start was made by Capt. Adair a few minutes after 4 o'clock, the Fusiliers at first getting the lead. During the rowing the crows kept nearly together till near the railway bridge, where the Fusiliers made a spurt, but were finally distanced by the Royal Horse Guards crew, who won by about half a boat's length on reaching the winnning post near Maidenhead-bridge. The cup, a very splendid one, was manufactured by Messrs. Thomas, of Bond-street. Both regiments aro indebted to Captain Williams for the pleasant excitement afforded by the match, and which was agreeably terminated by a dinner given in the evening at the Spital Barracks by the non-commissioned officers of the Scots Fusiliers to their brethren of the Royal Horse Guards.— Windsor and Eton News. LEECH, DOYLE, AND TENNIEL.—Leech, Doyle, and Tenniel are our last triad of workmen in black and white. The first was supreme in observation and correct rapidity. The second combines originality with high refinement, and wonderful power of seizing and exaggerating the lead ing feature of a face. This probably is great part of the reason why his works always make one laugh so much. He is the inventor,we rather think, of mediaeval burlesque caricature (lately revived by others with the greatest spirit in the " Ballad of Brauninghindis" in Punch.) His " Con tinental Tour of Brown, Jones, and Robinson" showed great power over national expressions of face,; and his Derby and Brighton crowds seem to us a good deal better than Mr. Frith's, at a much cheaper rate. Mr. Tenniel is in many respects the most accomplished charact draughtsman who is left to us. Like John Lewis, he seems to have learned very much from careful study of animals, at some early period of his career in the way of subtle expression ; and as Punch is in the bands of all adults and " Alice's Adventures" are the delight of all children (and parents), the illustrator of both those works needs little comment from us. It is hard to say how great a loss we have sustained by Leech's early death. Had he been honoured as well as paid—had he been recognised by the Academy as the head of our modern school of domestic character drawing in black and white, he would not have passed away, as he seems to have done, unaware of his great powers and their possible influence for good. We may be said to have lost in him the man of all the world who pro duced the greatest amount of beauty with the least amount of trouble ; who showed the greatest rapidity and the greatest subtlety ; who could create without seeming to know it ; who could draw a woman in her beauty, a man in his strength, a horse in his stride ; who could treat degrading subjects without being degraded, and often lift things out of vulgarity or i m becility by humour, or tender ness, or pathos, or righteous indignation, or even sublimity —or by inextinguishable laughter; whose range of feeling was never ascertained or spanned, who drew and delighted ola, young, and middle-aged, and never gave a hint of , evil pleasure ; and yet who seems to have had no notion but that it was good for him to illustrate the adventures of ' Mr. Soapy lElponge.—Contemporary Aevicw, October num -1 bor. CORRESPONDENCE FRO3I PARIS. (FRO3I OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Friday Evening. The latest accounts received iu Paris from Sicily are satisfactory. Tranquillity had been completely re-established at Palermo, and the insurgent bands had dispersed. All the persons accused of being concerned in these troubles, whose signatures are attached to the insurrectionary proclamations, in cluding the Prince de Linguaglossa, protest their innocence. They all declare that they were dragged to the Hotel de Ville, under a threat of being assas sinated, and that their names were affixed to the placards without their knowledge or consent. The above prince is the president of the pretended Di rectory Committee. The Italian troops engaged in quelling thes e disturbances suffered less than was at first imagined. Their loss in killed and wounded was 366 men. The official proclamation of the incorporation o: ,he free city of Frankfort with the kingdom o: Prussia took place on the 7th inst. The writer of one account of the ceremony says that during the reading of the Royal letters patent, the citizens of all classes exhibited their profound and unanimous regret at the loss of their independence. In re ference to this annexation the Siecle says:— " Of all the annexations effected by Prussia none is less justifiable than that of Frankfort. To a cer tain extent a defence might be found for that of Hanover and Cassel, the geographical situation of those States, cutting Prussia in two, made their union a sort of material necessity. We have pro tested against the manner in which the incorpora tion was affected, in violation of all popular right, without denying the strong reasons which rendered it difficult to maintain those countries as distinct States. In regard to Frankfort, however, none of these reasons exist. A small territory, at the ex treme limit of the Confederation of the North, des titute of all military strength, with importance in a strategic point of view, incapable of opposing the slightest obstacle to the national aspirations towards Germanic unity, what powerful interest required the sacrifice of her independence ? " If the whole of Germany pronounced in favour of unification, if all the private sovereignties had evinced the desire to merge into the great Germanic country, we could understand that Frankfort should renounce her local independence. But when they preserve Saxony, Grand Ducal Hesse, Brunswick, Lippe-Lippe, and other similar States, without counting Baden, Wurtemberg, and Bavaria, when the feudal sovereignty of Mecklenburg is respected, what serious reason can be alleged in support of the suppression of the Republic of Frankfort? In Hanover, in Hesse, at Nassau, a great portion of the population accepts with joy the union with Prussia, but at Frankfort the violation of the national will is flagrant. There is even no attempt to deny it. Never was the abuse of strength more patent and more brutal. Never did it merit more energetic reprobation." The four sailor ruffians—Lenard, Corbuccio, 011ie, and Thepault—who committed the terrible murders on board the Fedcaris-Arca, have at length expiated their crimes. They have bee❑ executed at Brest, where they were condemned by the Maritime Tribunal. For three years they have been able to take advantage of the " law's delay" by appeals and technicalities of various kinds connected with mari time jurisdiction. On a cold, gloomy autumnal morning these sailors, accustomed to the free breezes of " the open sea," after suffering remorse for three years in narrow loathsome cells, were again led forth into the air only to breathe it for a few minutes. The crowd before the prison was im mense. The sailors on board the vessels in har bour, which commanded a view of the scaffold, thronged the decks to witness the fatal scene. There were shouts, cries, and tumult, but when the culprits appeared, all was as silent as the grave. The axe of the guillotine fell, and was raised four times successively, and each time the head of a murderer was severed from his body, and in a few moments human justice was satisfied. There has been au execution at Nantes for a Lord Lytton's Varney in "Lucretia." Some curious particulars are given in Notes and Queries concerning the last years of the notorious Thomas Griffiths Wainewright, the " Janus Weather cock" of the London Magazine to which Hazlitt and Lamb contributed. It is pretty generally known that this man—whose art criticisms in the periodical in question, flippant as they were, attracted attention by the dash, animation, and picturesqueness of their style—was transported for having forged the signa ture of his wife's trustee, and that he lay under heavy suspicion of having poisoned more than one person whose lives he had insured. His subsequent career in Van Diemen's Land, where he arrived in 1836, is not so well known. He became, about the year 1842, an artist in Hobart Town, where, it is said, he twice attempted to poison people to whom he had taken a distaste. As a consequence, he was " dreaded, disliked, and shunned by everybody." A gentleman who knew him well describes him as a man with a massive head, indicating the possession of a large amount of brain ; a square, solid jaw, deeply-set eyes, and " a snake-like expression which was at once repulsive and fascinating. He rarely looked you iu the face. his conversation and man ners were winning in the extreme ; he was never intemperate, but nevertheless of grossly sensual habit, and an opium eater." He was " constantly , on the very confines of murder," and on one occa sion acted towards a fellow-convict, against whom he bore a grudge, with hideous malignity. The con vict was brought in a dying state into the Hobart Town Hospital, where Wainewright was at that time an inmate. The latter "at a glance detected the fatal premonitory indications, and, gliding to his bedside with cat-like steps, he hissed into the dying man's ear—' You are a dead man. In four-and twenty hours your soul will be in hell, and my arm will be buried up to that (touching his elbow) in your body, dissecting it.' " This is equal to some of the horrible fancies of Edgar Allan Poe. While in the hospital, Wainewright sent a petition to the governor of the colony, Sir Eardley Wilmot, for a ticket-of-leave, which was refused. In this docu ment—a strange piece of egotism and rambling talk —he speaks of his writings, and begs his Excellency to " grant him the power to shelter his eyes from Vice in her most revolting and sordid phase, and his ears from a jargon of filth and blasphemy that would outrage the cynicism (sic) of Parny himself." To his other vices it is clear that Wainewright ad ded I hypocrisy. lie died about the year 1852. FRENCH-ENGLISH ! --An amusing illustration of the sort of blunders which Frenchmen make in writing or speaking English, is afforded by the Interna tional, a journal which, being published in London as well as in Paris, ought to be exempt from such peculiarities. Among the spectacles de Londres, it announces this week " My Husband Ghost" at the Haymarket, " Nursery Chick weed" at the Lyceum, " A sheep in Woslf's Clothing" at the Adelphi, and weeharts and Wives" at Sadler's Wells. After this, the " divine Williams" ought no longer to sur- prise us. A HEART OF STONE NOT TO BE CHISELLED.—The following tragi-comic incident is related by a Paris paper. In the street of Cherche-Midi there exists a little eating-house, known under the name of " Cabaret de la Mere Rigault," and much frequented by engravers and sculptors. It is kept by an amiable young widow, who received, a few days ago, from one of her customers, a sculptor, named Auguste R., the following curious letter : " Divine Pebble,—Were you not harder than porphyry or agate, the chisel of my love, guided by the mallet of my fidelity, would have made some impression upon you. I, who have given every form to the roughest materials, had hoped that with the compass of reason, the saw of con stancy, the fine file of friendship, and the polish of my words I should have made of you one of the prettiest statues in the world. But, alas ! you are but an insensible stone ; and yet you fire my soul, yourself remaining cold as marble. Have pity on me. Ino longer know what I say or do. When I have a dragon to sculpture it is Cupid that rises under my chisel. Dear column of my hopes, pedestal of my happiness, cornice of my j 3y, if you make me happy I will raise to you statues and pyramids. To morrow I will call for your answer.—AUGUSTE." The widow laughed heartily at what she took for a witty joke, and showed the letter to•all her customers. Yesterday Auguste R. entered the establishment and was immediately a mark for a shower of compliments on the originality of his letter. Fixing a strange gaze on his friends, he exclaimed, " You make a jest of my sufferings, of my love !" And, becoming suddenly furious, he abused the widow for her perfidy and threatened to kill her. The police had to be NIA for. The poor sculptor preyed to be out of his mind ;1111 s' CI Till _ • ha HER MAJESTY. BALMORAL, Friday. The Queen went out, accompanied by Princess Louise, and attended by the Marchioness of Ely. Baron von Ucchtritz had an audience of her Majesty and presented letters from Duke Bernhard and Duke George of Saxe-Mciningen. He was in troduced by Sir Stafford Northcote. Prince Christian and Prince Arthur went out shooting. _ The Baron von Llcehtritz had the honour of din 'g with the Queen and Royal Family yesterday eve Ling. Saturday. The Queen went out in the morning, accom panied by Princess Beatrice, and drove in the after noon, accompanied by Princess Christian. Princess Louise rode with Prince Arthur, attended by the Hon. Emily Cathcart, and visited the Duchess of Aumale at Abergeldie. _ The gullies' ball to the servants and tenants of the Balmoral, Abergeldie, and Birkhall estates, which was to have been given on the day of the arrival of Prince and Princess Christian, took place yesterday. Dancing commenced at half-past 5, at 8 supper was served, after which the dancing was resumed, and continued till near 12. [er Majesty and the Royal family were present. The Prince of Wales, attended by Major Grey, went to Dover on Saturday morning to receive the Queen of Denmark on her arrival in England. Her Majesty, accompanied by the Princess Thyra and the Prince Waldemar, and attended by the Countess of Reventlow, M. de Custenschiold, and Jantzen, crossed the Channel from Calais on board Her Majesty's ship Vivid, and arrived at Dover at a quarter before three o'clock. Drury-lane Theatre. A very crowded audience assembled on Saturday evening to witness the debut of Mr. H. Talbot, a gentleman who, we are told, has achieved consider able reputation in the provinces from his Shakspe rian performances. The selection of the part of Macbeth was a very - courageous act, especially as during the last fortnight we have two gentlemen of established reputation each alternately taking the part of the Thane of Cawdor and Macduff—viz. , Mr. Phelps and Mr. B. Sullivan. Mr. Talbot is young, with a well-set figure, an intelligent coun tenance, full eye, and his gestures are expressive , and his rendering of it marked by intelligence and taste. With respect to his performance of Macbeth, it partook of the conventional style ; and on Satur day evening last Mr. Talbot seemed too apprehen sive of not overstepping certain limits he had marked out for himself. The dagger soliloquy was wel l given, but in the banquet scene there was a want of emotion that sent the part down to the ordinary level. We prefer taking another opportunity before expressing a decided opinion upon the ability of Mr. Talbot as a tragedian, as We take it, a first night is not a fair test of the power s of any artist. However we have the pleasing duty of holding out the highest encouragement to Mr• Talbot ; and we hope it will be our pleasing duty to record his complete success. On Saturday evening next the long-pronais ed " Faust" will be produced ; and, if rumour can be believed, the piece will rival in splendour all the gorgeous spectacles that have been produced even at Old Drury. ADELPHI THEATRE. On Saturday a domestic drama, in four acts , entitled " Ethel, or Only a Life," was produced at this theatre, the play being written, we presume, for the purpose of giving Miss Kate Terry a ne llr part. The story is that of an orphan girl, NW' left friendless and penniless in the world, endure° unheard-of trials and temptations. Her career 0 . one of hopeless misery. Not a ray of sunshine falls upon her path. First, the son of a retire d linendraper, at whose house she has been givi n g' music lessons, plots her ruin, veiling his purpo s e, under a promise of marriage. Then a medical makes honourable overtures, but Ethel, th ong' she loves him, rejects him for the other; where' upon Galen sails for Bombay, and is not seen aga ill in England until the closing scene. On discover the infamous design of her first lover, Ethel throW° him over and retires to a poor lodging in Chelsea'' where she ekes out a wretched existence by combin ing the incongruous duties of dressmaker and morn' ing governess. One of her friends urges her to mar r Y t a small tradesman in the nighbourhood,whose h i g her" title to her regard is that he is old and well-to -d°' Ethel, being on the verge of starvation, seems for t ‘ i , time disposed to admit the validity of this claim; 1311 v ou receiving an anonymous letter threatening h er with vengeance in case she should marry in that haul ble quarter, she abandons her third suitor and re ' signs herself to her miserable fate. So things ti mains until towards the close of the last act, wile: she is engaged to play the piano at an evening P r % in a house at South Kensington. She enters tP drawing-room, and the first man she mee ts is 'lir old friend, the Doctor, who is now married to linendraper's daughter. Ethel is overwhelmed wild emotion, for she had hoped that the physician w° ll renew his addresses to herself. A passionate inter' view ensues, but all is over ; Ethel takes her ar, pointed seat, and begins to play a set of quadrillesci but has not got beyond a bar or two when herb g3a droops lifelessly upon the keys, and she falls d eg ' at the piano ! o a, The drama has been taken from the French/ ~o individually speaking, it would, in our opinion/ b%O been quite as well if it had been left alone , bee3lla, it is dull, dismal, twaddling, and intenselY diejjg greeable. It is true that Miss Kate Terry's a ct in g of the part of Ethel is marked by all that charclt; simplicity and perfect reality that so oninerlito distinguishes her impersonations, and to all it , r , evident she was doing her utmost for her 0°,4 whose materials were perfectly unworthy tPerg great ability. With respect to othe r char° 00 they seemed ill to fit the company a t o t Adelphi ; Mrc. Mellon had the part of an lic l/ .. , c 1 Yorkshire girl, which she did with much spirit,tll Miss Furtado that of a rich widow, bu t our sprieuer little actress in this instance was entirely out 0t..;e0 element. Mr. Billington, as the son of a retired 11 th e draper, had a most disagreeable part ; in fac t ' It drama must be pronounced altoget her a mist3l°.c,or, is badly constructed, devoid of eithe r wit or 11111;00 and altogether a piece we woul d mu ch rather not else.seen at the Adelphi Theatre or indeedanywhere the o f It lasted for four mortal hours , and at the fa; Oh curtain there was a great deal of dissent 'pix el ' p ost the applause.
