Last night, in the Town Hall of Leeds, Mr. Befoul' enjoyed another opportunity of making a display of his powers. He seems fully determined that the public shall have enough of his eloquence this autumn, and criticism on his remarks and re monstrances respecting his vehemence only seems to enrage him the more, and to send him forth more fiercely to the fight. As a proof of the harm that is occasioned by the extreme measures he advocates, and the manner in which he does so, we may notice that the members of the West Riding, with one exception, were absent on this great occasion. Registered manhood suffrage seems to have been the great o bj ect in view among those who yesterday assembled in full force. Mr. E. A. LEA THAM seconded the resolution respecting it, and ,‘ we nt so far as to de c l are that, with manhood suffrage his personal liberty would be respected, his property safe, and his country prosperous and happy." After this ridiculous remark he followed in the wake of his leader, and went on to say that in the event of the ten-pound franchise being de clared perpetual, and the power of the law and the Government put forth in its defence, " he was pro foundly convinced that neither liberty nor property would be long safe, and that .both law and the Government must themselves even tually perish in the attempt to enforce this shameful and perpetual silence of the people." Now this is a very blameable course to pursue thus to persist in making constant allusion to the neces sity of having recourse to the arguments of force, and Mr. BRIGHT is entirely responsible for taking up this view of the question. It is an insult to those who attend these meetings to suppose that they can not, and will not, restrain themselves, but must rush into extremes, and compromise themselves and their We may notice that in this the hon. mem- cause, ber for Birmingham has gone further than he did some years ago when the Conservatives were ink power. Then he confined himself to denuncia— tions of their evil course, but he has nowt stumped so that he utters threats, and while seeking to amend some of the laws relat ing to representation, he seems anxious that the law of peace and order should be broken rather than► that his crotchets should fail and his efforts be un , attended with success. A part of Mr. BRIGHT's speech last night was devoted to defending himself from the remarks which had been passed upon his recent harangues. Thus we find him asserting that he is offended that some have presumed to say that he said much the same thing in Manchester as at Birmingham ; but he consoled himself by the reflection that the same charge was brought against one of the wisest of ancient men more than two thousand years ago. We may, however,' assure Mr. BRIGHT that he is not following the example of his predecessor, for he is now saying very different things about Reform than he did some time back. He is degenerating into the mob orator, in place of speaking in the character of a representative. That abuse is not argument, has been truly said, but Mr. BRIGHT seems to be totally unmindful of the past. When he assails Mr. LOWE so vehemently for his remarks upon the manner in which the representation is sometimes carried out, he forgets that he is going still further himself in his attacks on the House of Commons itself. Were it half as bad as he makes out it would be idle to talk of reforming it, and nothing but complete ex termination could be its cure. Is this the modo in which to speak of that great assembly before an audience of his countrymen. It is bad not only for what it excludes but for what it includes, " While it excludes the great bulk of the nation, it includes every form of corruption and evil of which a repre sentative system is capable." We may fairly state without exaggeration that this is one of the worst things Mr. BRIGHT has said in all his vituperative speeches. How can he so mistake facts and mis construe circumstances as to make such a charge against the House of Commons ? It is because it contains so much power and influence, that real Reformers wish it to be amended, not because it is base and vile that they are ashamed of it. We must protest against this new dodge of Mr. BRIGHT'S, which consists in uttering slanders on the reputation of all right and left who do not fall into his plans. He asserts that be has seen men on the Treasury Bench " who would sell the mace, which is the symbol of loyalty, on the table of the House, if by so doing they could give to themselves fixity of tenure on the Ministerial benches." This is as unfounded an assertion and as gross a libel as can be uttered, and we are glad to think so. It only shows how low Mr. BRIGHT has fallen, that he should stoop to such contemptible means of making an assertion. Truths and errors abound among politicians as among others ; but we may safely say that none of the high or low are actuated by such igaoble desire for place. The best proof that Mr. BRIGHT does not really think that a Con servative Government is so obnoxious to the people is that he can bring indefinite charges against them; but he has to resort to abuse, and make charges against them quite untenable. He twists and turns what Lord DERBY said upon taking office last time, until he makes out that the noble Earl declared that he was proud to take office because his party was so greedy for office. Whereupon Mr. BRIGHT adds that there is a party in America that is always seeking office, and it goes by the name of Bread-and-Butter party ; and it turns out after all that the party of Lord DERBY is not an anti-Reform party, but a Bread-and-Butter party. We really wonder what Mr. BRIGHT will come to before he has done ; he attacks every one right and left who presumes to go against him, and in doing this he is inconsistent to the last degree. Who was more anxious than he was at one time to uphold the press of this country, and now who is more eager to decry it. It is a pity that some friend or adviser cannot show him how little he makes himself when he uses language like this, " I shall not appeal to the writers in newspapers, one of whom, and not a very creditable one, is con cealed somewhere in this town. I shall appeal only to the truth-loving vast majority of the people of this country." If he holds this opinion of newspapers, why did Mr. BRIGHT and his friends raise such au outcry about the advantages of the penny press ? They had better have advocated the increase of duty to retard rather than advance the spread of such mis chievous organs. The people of this country have learned too much to be led astray now by such doctrines as these. They revere their Constitution, the time-honoured work of glorious ages ; they honour and respect the great institutions of the land, foremost among which must be ranked the free Press, which is neither afraid of tyrants, nor will it bow . to demagogues; and if the new crusade for Reform is to be heralded in this fashion, we may tell its promoters that they will fail utterly and completely. Of course we could not expect to read a speech of the hon. member of Birmingham's that did not contain a glowing eulogiura on America, and therefore with regret, and not surprise, we find him in favour of the Radicals, who are seeking to uproot that constitution of America about which Mr. BRIGIIT has so often raved, and whose merits he has never been slow to advocate. Millions of men are to go to the poll to day, he declares, in order to decide if justice shall or shall not be done to the liberated African, and he will be greatly surprised if " the result does not add one more proof to those already given of the solidity, intelligence, and public spirit of the great body of the people of the United States." He adds that the English nation are brought together, and they must march on together ; the spirit of either Government must be the same, although the form may be different. "A broad and generous fraedom is the heritage of Eng land" is the welcome announcement at the close of this speech, and in that we agree ; but it is precisely why we object to Mr. BRIGHT'S remarks, because he does not pracise what he preaches. What is there either " broad" or " generous" in the tenour of this discourse? It is narrow and exclusive to the last degree ; and it is most mischievous, inasmuch as it is calculated to mislead those who put faith in the hon. member's powers of discernment. one so gifted as Mr. BRIGHT I'3 s We consider it as a matter of h d e e u e l p d r t e h gr us et w t a h s a te t his powers and misuse his opportunities. H e has, indeed, s a dly c h ang ed f r om the days of his early career. It is true that he was always too much in the extreme, but he never went to the length he now does. In the course of his remarks last night Mr. BRIGHT alluded to a saying of his lamented friend,Mr. COBDEN, and we are sure that distinguished man would have given his opinion against the course now followed by his associate. Often prejudiced, and sometimes extreme, Mr. COBDEN was never bitter and intemperate. This was his chief cause of success, and in this Mr. BRIGHT is now entirely wanting. Nor can it advance the cause of progress among us to ral against all existing institutions. Nor does it make the poor and ignorant better to tell them that the rich and titled are their natural enemies, and that vices TI! E SUN, LONDON, TETESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 9, 1866, abound in high places. Right and wrong are the exclusive appanage of no class, and is as likely to offend one as the other; but few are more culpable than those who set class against class instead of seeking to harmonise one with the other, and thus forward the great work of social good. The spirit of this age is against such a display as that which Mr. BRIGHT made last night ; it was an exhibition of intolerance that defeated itself at last. The fact is, that no one can possibly pur sue the course which Mr. BRIGHT has chosen to walk in without deteriorating greatly, and if public men descend to such means of making themselves remarkable they must not expect to retain their in fluence, and they do not deserve to do so either. In place of the fine speeches of past years we meet with a tissue of abuse, and the far-famed eloquence of the member for Birmingham seems to have vanished away, and to have been substituted for that most commonplace harangues, where virulence takes the place of reason. The arrival of the Moravian brings us intelligence from New York to the 28th ult. Affairs are still in a critical condition, and will remain so until the country has given its verdict through the elections now beginning throughout the States. Speculation is rife as to the views and intentions of the PRESI DENT ; and rumours have been current that he has changed his policy with respect to the Constitutional Amendment. Despatches from Washington deny this unconditionally ; but it is believed in many places that he intends to propose a constitutional amendment which will embrace the essential elements of the other in a less objectionable form. How he is to do this it not easily discoverable. No form can be otherwise than objectionable to the Southerners or to any independent well-wishers of the Union if it include wholesale negro suffrage, and exclude the recognition of State rights and the representation of the whole country. Yet nothing less than this would content the Radicals, whose leaders seem to have worked themselves into a state of frenzy which renders moderation or compromise impossible. A fair sample of the hopelessness of attempting to conciliate such adversaries is afforded by a recent speech of General BUTLER'S, in which that illustrious commander declared that the adoption of the Constitutional Amendment would not necossarily insure the ad mission of the Southern States, and further de manded that General LEE, as well as Mr. DAVIS, should be hanged forthwith. This is very much in accordance with the code of military honour which we should expect from a BUTLER, and his en lightened suggestion proves that be has at last discovered, as he thinks, an effectual means of de grading the Confederate General who so long kept at bay the best soldiers of the North. We do not apprehend that General BUTLER'S wise and honourable advice will be taken, or that a man whom all Americans respect and admire will be condemned without being accused of any crime, much less convicted ; but the fact that he should have publicly given utterance to such a sentiment shows the stuff that Radical orators are made of, while his remarks about the representation of the South and the Constitutional Amendment proves how useless it would be to endeavour to concert any moderate plan of action with such politicians. The occasion of BUTLER'S address was a mass Conven tion of soldiers and sailors which the Radicals con vened at Pittsburg, in imitation of the soldiers' and sailors' convention at Cleveland, or rather in oppo sition to it. The Radicals feel it incumbent upon them so soon as the Democrats have held a meeting of any kind to hold one in opposition. The famous. Convention at Philadelphia was succeeded by a Radical Convention, and the Soldiers and Sailors' Convention at Cleveland has been followed by this demonstration at Pittsburg. It is unfortunate for the Radicals that they are obliged to match BUTLER against GRANT and SHERMAN, who are known to favour conciliatory measures to wards the South. However this only carries out the old saying that true bravery is always mag nanimous, and that cruelty and cowardice usually go together. • The Committee of the Cleveland Convention has paid a visit to the PRESIDENT, and presented him with a report of their proceedings. Speeches were made by Generals GORDON and GRANT, stat ing that the Convention desired peace, an d that the union would be soonest restored when the measure proposed met the approval of all loyal people north, south, east, and west. Any thing short of this would not secure the object for which the soldiers and sailors had fought. The PRESIDENT, in reply, referred to his previous career as evidence of what his future conduct would be, and declared that constitutional limitations must be observed if the Government is to exist. Perhaps though this is no matter of anxiety to the Radicals. Judging from their language, and the reckless manner in which they advocate the most im practicable and intolerable measures, they would like nothing better than the chaos of a general revolution, a disorganisation of the Union, and the establishment of a reign of terror. We may, however, reasonably hope that the American people will refuse to endorse such policy by their suffrages ; and there is little reason to fear that President JOHNSON will allow himself to be cajoled or threatened into forsaking the wise and statesmanlike course which he has hitherto fol lowed. Mr. DAVIS'S trial has been again postponed, and we may therefore hope that the PRESIDENT will ful fil his promise and release him from confinement. The Rev. J. KELLEY, of Petersburg, Virginia, has hadan interview with the illustrious prisoner, of which he has published an interesting account. Subsequently Mr. KELLEY proceeded to Washington, and had an interview with the PRESIDENT. He believes Mr. Davis to be a dying man, but this belief may be partly due t) the striking alteration which would naturally be visible from the honoured and power ful head of a vast nation to the weary and heart broken prisoner. Surely the right of trial or the hope of release should be accorded to one who has suffered so long and so courageously. Among the news lately received from America we get some valuable and interesting information respecting the relative powers of fortifications and ordnance. Some important experiments have re cently been made at Fort Monroe, and the result appears to be that granite, stone, or brick forts are of little use when opposed to the heavy guns of the day. Iron plates with a " backing" of sand or earth between seem to be most efficaCious. The 15-inch Rodman gun produced tremendous effects, though the target, one might have thought, was of a singularly powerful character. It was composed of a wall of hewn granite, 30 feet in height and 36 inches in width, 7 feet 9 inches in thickness through the main Ott, the ends being 4 feet thicker. It was plated with iron-plates four in number, resting against the wall on the upper half of the target, but at the lower part hav ing a backing of six inches of sand. It was thus that the superiority of the sand backing was dis covered. One of the shots fired struck the upper plate and cracked two of the granite blocks at the back of the target—nearly eight feet from the plate—and drove them from their bed. Another shot struck the lower plate and produced no serious effect, owing, undoubtedly, to the said backing. On the second day of the expe riments a shot, which struck the upper part on a previousindentation, produced great effect. The iron plate was punctured, the bolt passing through and burying itself in the masonry, the target being shattered for half its length. " There is no doubt," says a spectator, " that this shot has really knocked out of use all the stone and brick forts in the world." This is a lesson which we hope will not be lost upon our authorities, only they must take care that they do not repeat the mistake made by the Austrian Government, and in waiting to decide upon the best means of national defence, remain unprepared till the day of war takes them at an rrecoverable disadvantage. It is satisfactory to find that the Government have resolved to make an effort to rescue the wretched captives of Abyssinia. It is true that re ports have already reached us of their untimely end, but no proofs have been given of the authenticity of these dreadful statements. At any rate it would not do for the authorities to let things take their chance, and steps must be taken to meet the emer gency that may arise. It is a diflicult and ungra cious task that has fallen to the Foreign-office, through the extreme mismanagement of Lord RUSSELL. The reply which the Emperor THEODORE expected to his communication to the QUEEN was delayed in a very extraordinary manner by the late Ministers, and hence have arisen the fearful consequences to the unhappy English prisoners. It is now resolved that Mr. FLAD should depart on another mission, taking with him an autograph letter from the QUEEN, which has been written in a decided manner, and yet in a friendly spirit. Colonel MEREIVETHER is to follow soon afterwards with very valuable gifts from her MAJESTY to the Abyssinian Monarch. It has been very wisely resolved upon that the Colonel is to remain atMassowah when he lands there until he should have heard from Mr. FLAD of the result of his interview with the tyrant. It is hoped that by this means the latter may be brought to reason, and consent to give up the unfortunate victims of his insult and indignation. No reliance is to be placed upon the success of this scheme, but it cer tainly seems, upon mature reflection, to be the best that can be desired at present. There is the chance that this redoubtable EMPEROR may feel himself flattered by all this show and ceremony, and, if so, it will be all the better for the sufferers. When we consider the nature of the country where these pri soners are immured, and its inaccessibility, it seems more than ever strange that the late Government should have acted so unwisely, and allowed things to proceed to such an extremity by offending the irascible potenate. It is a very unsatisfactory business at the best ; but, as it has been conducted hitherto, we do not see that Lord STANLEY could have done better than he has, and we must rest in the hope that our unfortunate countrymen may yet return to our shores. Whether they do or not, however, we should advise others to keep clear of a territory from which egress seems so difficult, and where such a tyrant holds sway. CORRESPONDENCE FROSI PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Monday Evening. Prussia is easily pleased if she can be satisfied with the reception given at Berlin to the news of the acquisition of Hanover to that kingdOrn. Of enthusiasm there was none. The population seemed as cold and melancholy as people are gene rally at a funeral. The official despatch sent to Paris with the account is not able to speak of ova tions or enthusiasm. The only thing it has to say is that " tranquillity was not disturbed." Such is the telegraphic announcement. The celebrated announcement, " Order reigns at Warsaw," finds here a parallel. " Not Amurath an Amurath succeeds, but Harry, Harry," and all that the historian of the inauguration of the new regime is that Prussia takes the official possession of the kingdom of Hanover, and no revolt ensues for the moment at least. The Vienna Gazette gives its opinion that the conclusion of peace with Italy is a most satisfactory occurrence for Austria. It assures its readers with an air of official authority that Austria in evacuat ing Venetia and recognising the kingdom of Italy retains no resentment or forethought, because it is no longer in the south of Europe that her influence will be exercised. " The era of German struggles," adds the official paper of Vienna, " is finished.'' The Journal des Debats, in commenting upon this official declaration of Austria, says--" W e are o f the same opinion as the Vienna Gazette, and our only regret is that Austria was not before impressed with the necessity of terminating these disastrous struggles." The autumn races at the Bois de Boulogne yes terday, aided by the rare incident of fine weather, attracted a large assemblage, and gave very great pleasure. The following is an account of them : The Grand Prix de l'Empereur, 20,0001., f or h orses of 4 years old and upwards, was won by the invin cible Gladiateur, ridden by G. Pratt. Vertugadin was second. Gladiateur was ahead from the begin ' 1,875 f. t o th e secon d ning, and all attempts to outstrip him were perfectly uliu, useless.

Grande Dame was ridden by T. Carter, and Fidelite by Musgrove. The cholera still prevails in some parts of France. A death from cholera occurred at Marseilles on Friday last, and at Boulogne-sur-Mer. On the day when the last official record was published the number of deaths from cholera was 12. The Italian Government has accepted the arrange ment made between Austria and the Southern Rail way Company as regards all the lines in Venetia. A letter from Florence states that the. day fixed for the plebiscite is the 14th inst. King Victor Em manuel, who is expected now at Padua, will make his solemn entry into Venice as soon as the official publication of the votes by universal suffrage shall have taken place, which will probably be about the 20th inst. The Italie, however, announces that the authorities and the Italian troops will not wait till that period to take possession of the country. They will be summoned to do so by the municipal autho rities, to whom General Laboauf, on the part of France,will remit the powers with which he will very shortly be invested by the Austrian authorities. The future Commissioners are already spoken of for Venice, the Senator Count Pasolini, and for Verona, one of the most distinguished members of the aris tocracy of Palermo. A great many changes will be made in regard to the Embassies, and the diplo matic representatives in Italy. The Parisians, who of late have been in great anxiety about the weather, are beginning to be easy in their minds upon the subject. This is the second day that it has been settled and beautiful, and this evening there is every prospect of the continuance of bright, sunshiny weather. Now that the alarm about the inundations is over some writers are beginning to be facetious upon the subject. One of them in describing the rising of the river says—" Madame Seine became enlarged to an alarming extent, but unlike ladies in general, at such a, time, she rose from her hed,"„ LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) FLORENCE, Oct. 9. It is expected that the Italian troops will enter Venice on the 15th inst., and that the plebiscite will take place on the 21st inst. RUSSIAN POLAND. THORN, Oct. 8. Advices received here to-day from Chelm, of the 4th inst., state that Bishop Kalinski, of the Greek United Church, and most of his clergy were arrested and conveyed out of the town by the Russian authorities. THE BOMBAY MAJLS. So UTII AMP TON, Tuesday Morning. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's screw steamer Surat, Capt. T. Jamieson, has arrived with the heavy Bombay mails, 55 passengers, £16,809 in specie, 35 pieces of ivory, 20 casks of wine, and sundries. The Surat left Alexandria on the 26th ult., Malta the 30th, and Gibraltar the 4th inst., and has had very fine weather throughout the voyage. The Egyptian yacht Mahrousse left Alexandria for Candia on the 24th ult. The French man-of war Andromagne was at Alexandria when the Surat left, and the Var sailed on the 26th.

The law incorporating this city with the Prussian Monarchy was solemnly promulgated here to-day. After the reading of the Royal Patent in the Imperial Hall, in presence of the officers of the garrison, the members of the Senate, and the mu nicipal authorities, Herr von Patow, the Prussian Civil Commissioner, requested the authorities to continue in the exercise of their functions until the introduction of the Prussian Constitution. Herr von Patow then made a long speech, in which he did justice to the grounds which existed for the pain felt by the citizens at the loss of their independence, but contrasted with that loss the ad vantages which they would derive from their new and powerful Fatherland in matters concerning the constitution of the army, the administration of jus tice, and the general government of the town. The Prussian flag was hoisted amid cheers for the King, a military salute, and the playing of the Prussian National Anthem. Large crowds assembled on the Romerberg, but the inhabitants remained quiet. INCORPORATION OF HESSE-CASSEL. CASSEL, Oct. 8. The Royal Patent taking possession of Hesse- Cassel was solemnly promulgated here to-day. All the members of the Estates were present at the ceremony, and great enthusiasm prevailed. The members of the Choral Guild of Cassel formed in procession, with their banners flying, and sang a festive hymn specially composed for the occasion. Before reading the Royal Patent the Prussian Commissioner Moller delivered a speech, in which he said—" The thousands assembled here to-day are a proof that the people of Hesse-Cassel know how to appreciate the immense importance which the event of to-day possesses for the welfare of the country. All will one day bless the change which is now being effected." INCORPORATION OF NASSAU. WIESBADEN, Oct. 8. The ceremony of formally incorporating Nassau with the Prussian monarchy took place here to-day with great solemnity. FRANCE. BOURSE, Oct.

Roman M 5 - 380 -- 411 25 107 50 137 50 65 - STRAND THEATRE. Last evening the long announced burlesque by Mr. Barnard, " Der Freischutz, or a Good Cast for a Piece," was produced here with all that taste and splendour which so distinguishes the manage ment of that elegant little theatre. The original plot of the great opera is closely adhered to, albeit in a very comical manner, and all the terrors of the celebrated incantation scene, the Wolf's Glen, with the casting of the magic bullets, are parodied with great effect. The part of Agnes was represented by Miss Ada Swanborough with great spirit and effect, and Miss Raynham refined the part of the demon Zamiel in a very humorous manner. Casper, of course, was represented by Mr. Fenton, who, on this occasion, exceeded all his former efforts as an artist and an actor. Mr. Frederick Robson made his first appearance here in a part called Catspaw, and met with a genial reception. The burlesque abounds in puns, good and indifferent, whilst the musical portion of the entertainment em braces all the operatic genius of the season. The Parisian dancers come in for a good share of bur lesque, and in the last scene we have a very excel lent review of the Strand Volunteers, who go through various military evolutions with great effect. The scenery, by Mr. C. Fenton, is of re markable excellence, whilst the dresses are as quaint and grotesque as could well be desired. The bur lesque elicited general applause from beginning to end, and at the fall of the curtain the author and all the principal actors received the honour of a call. THE WEATHER AND THE HARVESTIN YORKSHIRE. —After the worst week of the present harvest, a most glo rious change has occurred, dull November fogs having given place to bright, warm, summer-like weather. Up to Thursday last dense fogs enveloped the wolds and moors, keeping the grain constantly wet, and, with the warm temperature, encouraging sprouting freely. On Friday and Saturday harvest work was carried on in ear nest, and on Sunday the weather was beautifully warm and dry. There is now every prospect of a Michaelmas summer, after ten weeks of rain ; and, with a continuance the harvest will be brought to a close this week in all but late eittlatiOl4, Monthly Periodicals. DUBLIN UNIVERSITY.—" Never for Ever" is a pleasing sketch of the romantic adventures that befel two young ladies at a sea-side place. It is told in an agreeable style. " Number Five Brook street" contains this month a sad episode of life, the unfortunate Severne finds out the difference between wealth and poverty in a very awkward manner. Some of the scenes which took place between him and his fashionable tradesmen are ably described. " Cometh up as a Flower" is also an entertaining sketch concerning the life of a peculiar style of heroine. Her eldest sister is a regular marplot, and quite spoils the peace and prospects of her unfortu nate victim. " Missal Painting" is an article that well deserves perusal on account of its comprehen sive and eloquent description. It is truly said that the art of illumination has a career of its own, and a value as a beautiful, eloquent monument in the history of the Church. It is much to be regretted that the violence of the Reformers should have destroyed so much of what was beautiful in these early efforts ; but sufficient has escaped destruction, as is here said, " to convince us of the beauty of those arts which sprung up in the wake of Christianity." "Books and Book Collectors" furnishes us with some curious anecdotes of zealous readers. " Garrick— his Enemies and Friends," is continued, and relates many peculiar events of that day. Dr. Morney was an individual who would not be tolerated in the present day, although he seemed quite a hero to his own generation. " The Holy Land" contains much that is interesting in its remarks. Some wise exhor tations are met with concerning the manner in which Christians may best follow the precepts of the great Founder of their religion. " Phases of Phy siognomy" suggests things to the mind about that interesting and intricate branch of study. Various poetical contributions of interest are met with in this number. BENTLEY'S MI S CELLANY. —The indefatigable edi tor commences a new story, under the attractive title of '• Old Court." It is written in his usual ani mated style, and already, in its first chapters; arrives at a most exciting catastrophe. The other stories proceed iu their usual manner, though there is a strong similarity between them, both being founded on unhappy marriages. This belongs to the French school of novel writing, and is not as yet, we should hope, the most congenial style to English tastes. " Wines and Wine Shops in the Seventeenth Cen tury" is an entertaining sketch ; and a paper on "Mushrooms" is worth reading. "The Ghosts Round Bismarck's Couch," by Mrs. Bushby, is the title of some verses suggesting that " the most for tunate man in Europe" mat be occasionally troubled with the nightmare. Go oD W °EDS. —Mrs. Oliphant's story of "Madonna Mary" is continued with interest, though the leading idea is a painful one. Dr. Wynter contributes an amusing sketch of the peculiarities of " Lodgers and Poachers." " Two Years' Experience of the Maories," by an army chaplain, gives a somewhat discouraging account of the prospects of the race. More hopeful is the narrative of what Christian charity can do among ourselves, and the history of what Miss Adeline Cooper has effected for the poor of Westminster affords a striking picture. John de Liefde, whose recent work on the charities of Europe, gives the readers of " Good Words" a most interest ing account of Miss Twining's excellent institution for preserving young girls from the contamination of the workhouse wards, and training them for domestic service; being, in fact, as M. de Liefde calls it, " a link between respectable workhouse girls and respectable mistresses of the middle class." We all know that the only places which girls like this are likely to get into from the Union are of the very roughest and lowest kind, in which hard work, rough treatment, indifferent fare, and low wages, complete the work the workhouse has begun, and disgust them with an honest and respect able life. It is no small tribute to Miss Twining's establishment that it - should have gained the cordial approval of so enlightened and experienced a philanthropist as John de Liefde. A paper on " Sensitive Plants," by Mr. Jackson, the curator of the Kew Museum, affords some curious botanical information, and is appropriately illus trated. THE AnGosY.—" Griffith Guant" is continued at some length in this number, and contains an excit ing sketch of the trial of Mrs. Guant. Her examina tion of her waiting-maid is very cleverly described, and shows great skill on the part of the author. " His Young Lordship" is a very sad sketch of the evils which ensue from putting off. It may well be read by those who are in a position of life which gives them power and influence over the destinies of others. Good intentions and kind feelings are of no avail whatever if the owner does not exhibit decision and exercise consideration. "Upin an Attic" is a peculiar sketch in verse. "Up an African River" is an interesting sketch of travels in that country, which engages so much attention just now. " Poachers and Poaching" is an article that contains some wise remarks on the " false sympathy and romance which has fostered so much evil and brought so much misery on the poacher. The Game Laws need amendment, but let them be reformed on the merits of the case, and not by false sympathy with the ruffian who would rather murder a gamekeeper than earn honest bread for himself by a hard day's work." ONCE A WEEK.—This agreeable miscellany con tains a good deal of varied and interesting reading. The principal story is a new one by Dutton Cook, styled " Hobson's Choice." " The Race for Wealth," by the talented author of " George Geith," is brought to a conclusion, of which it would not be fair to say that nothing is concluded, but which certainly leaves a good deal to the reader's imagina tion. The moral of the clever and energetic man's career is drawn with a vigorous hand, and the folly of his pursuit of the wealth that failed to give him happiness, while he neglected and despised the treasure of love and peace which awaited him in his home is vividly described. " And so, after all his endeavours, in spite of all his struggles, he de parted with the leaves poor as the day when he first entered London. And yet net so. He was rich in love. He had wife and children beside him to the last. The wealth he once coveted, the Lord, in mercy, took away; the wealth he once despised, the Lord, in mercy, gave him in his hour of need." " The History of a Wooden Shoe" gives us an agree able reminiscence of Paganini. " Such is Russia," is a chapter of dangerous adventure. " Poor Christine" and " Stephen Temple" are likewise ani mated sketches. Among the graver subjects we find a paper on one of the great wants of the day, "More and Better Water for London ;" one on " Poestuna," a short essay on " Carburetted Gas," and other topics of interest. Among the numerous verses scattered through the part, we find several contri butions from the pen of the author of " John Hali fax," but they are not among the best. The illus trations are plentiful, and some of them are effective, but in others the execution is capable of consider able improvement. CHRISTIAN SOCIETY.--A. new periodical with, the above title is this month added to the list of the periodicals, and, judging from the first number, it promises to hold a by no means insignificant place in the already crowded ranks. Religious Literature, Information, and Biography are the topics to which it promises to devote its chief attention. The practical character of its religious spirit is happily exemplified in an admirable article, entitled the " People called Christians," which, in its spirit, reminds us of that excellent sermon, "The Religion of Common Life," preached some years ago in the Royal chapel in Scotland, and reprinted by her Majesty's command. " Christianity," says the writer in the magazine now before us, " Christianity may sit at the fireside, in the matron's garb or the working-man's rough raiment, and make the commonest hearth holy as a chancel. The Christian may be in the world a man of busi ness ; he need not write texts on his bills of lading or en his accounts ; and yet his ledger may have its inspiration from his Bible. Christianity may live in a country-house as truly as in a church, and shine with a lustre that men should feel rather than see or hear." A paper entitled " Evenings with Friends and Works" contains some very judi cioua criticiaus on somo of the literature of the day; while "In the Country on an Autumn Sunday" gives a most interesting description of a stranger revisiting the haunts of his boyhood after years of absence. On the whole this new magazine, as we have said, promises well. THE MONTH continues Lady Georgiana Fuller ton's charming historical narrative, " A Stormy Life; or, Queen Margaret's Journal." In the present instalment we have a vivid account of the first arrival in England of Margaret of Anjou, and her first meeting and marriage with henry VI. The description of the royal visit to Eton— (" Where grateful science still adores Her henry's holy shade—") is full of interest. The children's monthly friend, AUNT JUDY'S MAGAZINE, edited by Mrs. Alfred Gatty, is as clever and entertaining as usual. The authoress of " May Powell," as well as the authoress of " Sidney Grey," contributes an interesting serial story. "The Prince of Sterna," which, began with spirit, has passed out of the range of one's sympathies. A charming little poem, by Eornen, " Hunting the Wind," recounts the amazing adventures of " Curlyhead" and " Redcheeks," and "Little Blue eyes, fat and fair." NATURE AND ART. NO. 5. Day and Son.— This is a very attractive number of what is really a very beautiful publication. The illustrations are all that might be expected from the well-known firm of Day and Son, and the text is usually of a high order. Botany occupies the principal place in this number, though entomology is not forgotten, and those who are anxious in such matters may add considerably to their learning about death watches and lanthorn flies. The bamboo cane forms one of the topics, and the accompanying plate transports the reader to the glowing home of the beautiful and useful tree. Amateurs in oil painting may gather some useful hints from " Oil Painting without a Master," and altogether the number fully sustains the reputation acquired by its predecessors. THE EpLEcnc.—Sir Harry Vane, of the stern old days of civil war, occupies the post of honour in this number. He is followed by a pleasant paper on two pleasant volumes of essays. After this the rest of the contents is devoted to theological and controversial topics, which will naturally be studied with very different opinions by readers of different ways of thinking. V idiN. z if • f n rt HER MAJESTY. ' BALMORAL, Oct. 6. Princess Christian drove in the morning, at tended by the Hon. Henry Ponsonby. Prince Christian went out deerstalking. The Rev. Dr. Robt. Lee has arrived at the Castle. Messrs. Douney, of Newcastle, have been engaged in photographing at the Castle by the desire of hor Majesty. The Marquis and Marchioness of Bath have ar rived at Thomas's Hotel, Berkeley-square, from Long leate. The Earl and Countess of Dalkeith and family intend to remain about a fortnight longer at Bowhill, Sel kirkshire, and will then go on a tour of visits. The Earl and Countess of Malmesbury, who are passing the autumn at Heron Court, near Christchurch, are expected to arrive in town at the close of the month. The Hon. Colonel Rowley, Mrs. Rowley, Miss Rowley, Mr. W. S. Conway, and Dr. Easton left London yesterday for Southampton, on their way to the Cape by the steamship Celt. Sir Hugh Cairns, M.P., left town a few days ago for Ireland. The Right Hon. Spencer 11. Walpole vi*ited Mr. Ge . olge F. Ansell in Bernard-street yesterday to in spect his plans for the indication of the presence of fire damp and of choke-damp in coal and iron mines. A House Blown up at Sheffield. Yesterday morning, between five and six o'clock, one of the most fearful outrages which has been com mitted in this town for some years was perpetrated upon a house in New Hereford-street, Sheffield, which is occupied by a man named Thomas Fearneyhough. It seems that Fearneyhough is a saw-grinder, in the employment of Messrs. Butcher and Co., and up to twelve months ago he was a member of the Saw- Grinders' Union. Circumstances took place which induced him to leave the union, and since that time, with the exception of one occasion, he has shown a determination to go on his own way. He states that , several months ago some negoti a ti ons t oo k p l ace w ith the view of his readmission into the society, but that the sum which was demanded (£l3) as the price was too large, and he broke off the treaty. Since that time he has lived in apprehension that an attempt would be made to injure him, and, unhappily, he could refer to too many previous outrages upon saw grinders to justify his fears. On Sunday night he went to bed with his family at the usual hour, having first carefully fastened the small iron grate over the entrance to the cellar. In the house there were seven persons sleeping, and in the house behind—which is built " back to back" with it—were other seven per sons. About half-past 5 o'clock, according to the concurrent testimony of a number of persons, a loud report was heard resembling the discharge of a small cannon, and in an instant Fearneyhough and his family were awakened and found their house in ruins. The man rushed downstairs, and into the street at once, but he could see nobody about. He then turned back and assisted his family down the crumbling stairs and into the street, which by this time was half filled with the terror-stricken inhabitants of the ad joining houses. The explanation of the scene that met their gaze was not for a moment doubtful. All the symptoms, so to speak, of a " trade outrage" were there, and an examination of the premises con firmed the truth of the conclusion. In the cellar the fragments of an " infernal machine" were found. It would seem that the grate had been forced open, and a metal can, tightly wrapped with cord to in crease the force of the explosion, and containing about two pounds of powder, had been thrown into the cellar. It was exploded in the usual manner by a fuse, which was probably long enough to enable the *assassins to fly from the neighbourhood before the explosion took place. The force of the explosion was very great, and, in all probability, if the house had been of stronger construction, it would have blown up the bed-rooms, and thereby caused the death of the inmates. As it was, the blast seems to have rushed up the cellar staircase, blown the door into fragments, and then spent its force on the house and the staircases leading to the bedrooms. The destruction is so complete that the escape of the inmates of the house seems marvellous. The win dows and the shutters of the living room were blown out and across the street. The house is next to an entry, and the dividing wall is only one brick in thickness. Fortunateiy this gave way at once, and the force of the explosion spent itself in the passage in a great degree. Enough was done, however, ill the house to show how great the danger had been. The staircases and the supporting walls had been split from top to bottom ; the windows and doors were shattered to pieces, and the whole of the house side seemed to be on the point of falling in a mass. The house behind, occupied by a family of seven persons r named Jepson,was also seriously damaged, but very fortunately, out of the 14 persons who were thus exposed to the hazard of a frightful death, not one was injured. This remarkable result reminds us of similar outrages in Bramber-street some years ago, when a house was partly blown to pieces by all infernal machine without any of the inmates being injured. The explosion was heard at a considerable distance, and crowds of persons flocked to the scene at once. Great sympathy was manifested for Fear neyhough and his family, and the utmost horror and detestation of the perpetrators of the crime. Tile chief constable visited the scene at an early hour; and took possession of the fragments of the exploded can. A PARTIZAN CORPORATION.—The Manchester City Council have declined to join in the invitation of Lord Derby to Manchester to inaugurate the Albert Memorial.
