TO TIM ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX. GENTLEMEN, ir SHALL have the honour, in compliance with a JL requisition from a large number of your body : of asking you to return me as one of your representatives in the next Parliament. The equal division of political opinion In the metropolitan county, and the great importance of the constituency, ren der it an anomaly that both seats should be held by those to whose politics the term " Liberal " is applied. The Spontaneous promises of support I have received from all Parties, which I regard as more due to the fact of my being so well known to most of you, than to my official or other connection with Middlesex, give me every reason to look for a triumphant result to my candidature. In these days of transition politics, when the Tory is dead, the Whig fast dying, and their descendants meeting half way under the guise, at all events, of modified desig nations, it i s as difficult to detect as to describe the actual opinions held by men either in or seeking to be in Parlia ment; but holding as I do the great principles implied under the head of " Church and State," and as a thorough believer in the policy so steadily and consistently upheld by Lord Derby, whether in or out of power, I may claim to seek Your suffrages as a Constitutionalist, and one who will un flinchingly oppose those schemes of legislation which aim at Americanising our great country and people. I am wholly against a uniform lowering of the franchise ; but I should bo willing to support any measure which would safely enlarge the present constituencies. Tho Union Chargeability Bill was a step, but only a step, in the right direction. It does not wholly satisfy me ; but I hope the time is not far distant when I may have the pleasure of supporting a more comprehensive and popular one, which will abolish the law of settlement, and establish the system of universal rating. As a member of the Church of England, I should always regard with jealousy any legislative attempt to detract from her influence or endanger her well-being ; on these grounds, I should oppose the unconditional abolition of the church rate, but am prepared to vote for any plan which will meet the reasonable objections of our Dissenting. friends to the present system. As one who has for years taken a deep interest in the defences of the country, I am in favour of the preservation in their entirety andintegrity of the army, navy, militia ' and volunteer forces; as I believe their continuance in numbers and efficiency is the surest safeguard we could have against a necessity for their use, and the best guarantee for up holding the dignity of England. In the administration of the army and navy, however, large annual outlays could, by improved arrangements and reformed systems, be saved, and to such mea sures 1 s h ou ld no t on l y g i ve t h e u t mos t attention, but my hearty advocacy and i n t eres t. I shall take every possible opportunity between this and the day of election to make my other views known, and, as I trust, acceptable to you. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your faithful servant, R.A.NELAGIL No. 7, N ew B urlington-street, July 5, 1865.

POWNALL, E sq . , Vi ce -Ch a i r man. July 5, 1865 . TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF KIDDERMINSTER. GENTLEMEN, I N compliance with the influe n ti a l requ i s i t i on f or warded to me I have much pleasure in announcing my self a candidate at the impending election for the high lion ou r of representing, you in the Commons' House of Parlia /neut. In thus placing my services at your disposal I do so as a Liberal Conservative, and am prepared to give an inde pendent support to that great Conservative party to which I have the honour to belong. As I propose to myself many occasions of meeting you, when I can enter more into details as to the views I enter tain than an address affords me the opportunity of doing, I will confine myself at present to the expression of my opi nions upon the leading topics of the day. First. As to that much-debated and little result question —"Reform." I find in Webster's Dictionary (I have, tas a good reformer, purposely discarded "Johnson," and aken th e newest authority) that the word " Re to a lll may be t rans l a t e d — " to change from bad to good ; mend ; to repair ; to improve." In all these inter deal ealtations' to their m os t ex t en d e d sense, I am prepare d t o with Part this question. I wou ld, as th e C onserva tive s y desir e t o do, change all bad results of the existing ystem of representation to good results. I would " amend, ' ." pair," r and "improve," in all the fulness of their mean mustg glor ious constitution under which we live ; but I prove first see th e b ad results and experience how the im ments are t o b e effected, and then be as liberal as you like with the remedies. But to make an alteration to that constitution which finds this country in the enjoyment of is `liberty —to experimentalise as visionaries desire to do °lose the goo d substance whilst seeking the shadow, at I semi never can c onsen t t o, an d I muc h m i s t a k e y ou r rn never if o d • it. That there exist abuses . y so mire will our national representation no reflecting mind deny, and no member of the Conservative Raorty does deny ; it only claims a careful consideration of Isll.. remedies before it will consider them such, and once not ttsfied they are for the good of the country at large, and for the benefit of any clique or faction, and , its whole !upport will be given to the measure, no matter by whom .Introduced. What prospect, however, there is of the exist ingf Administration proposing a sound measure of real re rnornnint map be judged by the results of the present Parlia exp„; c ' e arly, that party which obtained power upon the 7_ srmaderstanding that they would bring in and carry 07rtaPinensive measure of reform has been " tried" and rallying tog Wan they have used the cry simply as a their formerbut, once there, have ignored all Su zeal, and have contented themselves with the cry power fore fro all real reformers must deplore. I am, there ! 7 from these experiences led to the conviction that it is to the Conservatives alone that the people of England to such look for a well-digested voluntary scheme of reform ; l ' l v iv 6 e u e V f i a measure I shall bo prepared, and I hereby pledge meal to . give it my most strenuous support. To all piece _leaislation ; to all irresponsible proposals ; to pro -Iw_ Which I oppose, as doing in the dark what it ought to be Ina pride of the electors to do in the light ; manhood mil- I ,! • age, which is incompatible with the balance of power of Lae educated and the responsible electors—all similar pro posals I shall oppose in tote. FOREIGN AP PAlRS.—Trappily on this topic there exists no diff erence of opinion amongst all thinking men, as to the sound policy of non-intervention—the dignity of the country - -and indeed by this term must be included its actual safety, requires that its just influence in the world sh ou l d not be lowered by interference in the affairs of foreign countries, unless the Government thus takingta such respons i bility, should be prepared to stand by course it advises, and not, as in the dispute in Schles- Wig-Holstein threaten con sequences w hi c h i t e i ther never i ntended to carry out, or feared the result of so doing ; I feel strongly th e b arbarism of the appeal to arms to settle any :differences betweenyGovernments ; it is precisely for that reason I hold that a great country like ours should never threaten this last appeal unless it is felt that no other course is open for it. I trust, however, that the ties of commerce and of common interest, as well as better knowledge of each other between the inhabitants of the 'various countries, which improved and more rapid com munication affords them, will obviate for all times that fearful appeal known as war. AnMAMENTS.—Though a lover of peace at any price, except when it lowers the honour of England, and as an earnest wisher for its permanent continuance, I hold, how ever, the doctrine that it is best secured by being at all times prepared for war. I would therefore especially have the navy, being that branch of the service most available for our protection from our insular position, the finest and largest in the world. The other arms of the service I would have also on a satisfactory footing, including the volunteers, whose renown abroad it is not too much to say is quite equal t o th a t ac hi eve d at h ome. S u bj ec t to the above his qualifications, I wish for the most rigid economy in Cirun n t as i every branch o f h er M a j es t y ' s serv i ce . cn RATES. — This vexed question still remains un sled ; nor can thi s excite surprise when it is considered tai eir _ that the measures hitherto proposed, having abolition for object, mean simply the confiscation. Though a member Church of England, I am an advocate for the largest possible liberty of conscience for every denomination or . fr e ll , and should therefore be prepared to support any satis otZlrT measure having compensation in some form or „ e 7tor the abolition of church rates, so as to relieve those ''„ o : B 7,s who at present have to support their own places of lo ng I P as well as of the Church to which they do not be tho p r iTtiect to this alone I =for the full maintenance of a"ooeizg.....ee belonging to , the Church of England, 20 y ears , e weercial m an, second any l ' r l' io ri as ' 3 l no of business like yours having, though young, still nearly life, I shall be happy to may li Z e s of local interest a commercial borough connected with from time to time necessary, either as gentl Y e °llr present your boretaue% staple manufactures or otherwise. yond this I have no while ambitious of the honour to re yon as a guccessfulP , I take leave to inform you that be middle -class man, ono of yourselves—and if, on my ersonal object to serve ; I come to commercial man—as essentially a Your more intimatefor' acquainta • • Lune to earn the d• • nce, it should bo my good making no exertion istinction I am seeking at your hands, s on my part shall be wanting to deserve it.

GUIDE TO THE QUACKS OF LONDON. A Series of Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared in the " Medical Circular," with the signature of "Detector," has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet. The reader of " Punch" should read this pamphlet also. He has often read, in the pages of "Punch," of certain Quacks, frau dulent and noisome, who obtain money by false pretences, and more money by menaces and extortion, from green young men. For their names, which "Punch" would not advertise, he has referred his readers to the lower corner of the advertising columns of low newspapers, amongst which too many of Mr." Punch's" contemporaries, especially in the country, may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub lish the information that a nominal list of these miscreants, with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning them, needful to be known, will be found in the pamphl-t above referred to, which is entitled " Revelations of Quacks and Quackery," and is to be had at the "Medical Circular" Office, 20, King William-street, Strand, W.C. The vile practices, the monstrous impudence, the cruel rapacity, and the enormous gains of the obscene tribe of Quacks, the mischief they do, the ruin they work, even to the causation of suicide, are sully set forth in " Revelations of Quacks and Qackery." And mark eapee , ally that, as aforesaid, the name , of the Quacks arc publishe 1. The pamphlet in question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di ri•ctory, by con-ulting which every young man may know where he may go if he wishes to get plundered and destroyed Buy, therefore, reader, by all means buy " Revelations of Quacks and Quackery." its contents will astonish and amuse you, while they invoke your indignation and disgust. Ot course you do not want it on account of its warnings for your own sake, but you doubtless do for that of the many simple tons with whom you must be acquainted, it your acquaint ance is large.

It is with regret, however, that I have to inform you that Earl Russell's despatch is accompanied by some reservations and explanations which are deemed unacceptable by the Government of the United States. It is hardly necessary to say that the United States do not admit what they have heretofore constantly controverted, that the original con cession of belligerent privileges to the rebels by Great Britain was either necessary or just, or sanctioned by the law of nations. The correspondence which took place between this Go vernment and that of her Majesty at an early stage of the insurrection shows that the United States deemed the for mation of a mutual engagement by Great Britain with France, that those two Powers would act in concert in regard to the said insurrection, to be an unfriendly pro ceeding, and that the United States therefore declined to receive from either of those Powers any communication which avowed the existence of such an arrangement. J have therefore now to regret that Earl Russell has thought it necessary to inform this Government that her Majesty's Government have found it expedient to consult with the Government of France upon the question whether her Ma jesty's Government will now recognise the restoration of peace in the United States. It is a further source of regret that her Majesty's Go vernment avow that they will still continuo to consider that any United States' cruiser, which shall hereafter be lying in a British port, harbour, or waters, shall be de- Any article to be had singly at the same prices.

It is further source of regret that her Majesty's Govern ment have deemed it proper to make the additional reserva tion in favour of insurgent vessels of war, that for the period of a whole month which shall elapse after the new orders now to be issued by her Majesty's Government shall have been received by the said authorities, any insurgent vessel which may be found in or which may enter any port, harbour or waters of her Majesty's dominions, and which may desire to divest itself of its warlike character, and to assume the flag of any nation recognised by her Majesty's Government with which her Majesty is at peace, will be allowed to do BO ; and further, that such vessels, after dis arming themselves, will be permitted to remain in such port, harbour, or waters without an insurgent flag, although the 24 hours' rule will not be applicable to the cases of such vessels. Far from being able to admii the legality or justice of the instructions thus made, it is my duty to inform your Excellency that, in the first place, the United States can not assent to an abridgment of reciprocal hospitalities be tween the public vessels of the United States and those of Great Britain. So long as her Majesty's Government shall insist upon enforcing the twenty-four hours' rule before mentioned of which the United States have so long, and, as they think, so justly complained, the United States must apply the same rule to public vessels of Groat Britain. Again, it is my duty further to state that the United States cannot admit, and, on the contrary, they controvert and protest against the decision of the British Government, which would allow vessels of war of insurgents or pirates to enter or to leave British ports, whether for disarmament or otherwise, or for assuming a foreign flag or otherwise. As to all insurgent or piratical vessels found in ports, harbours, or waters of British dominions, whether they entered into such ports, harbours, or waters before or after any new orders of her Majesty's Government may be received by any authority of her Majesty's Government established there, this Government maintains and insists that such vessels are forfeited to and ought to be delivered to the United States upon reasonable application in such cases made, and that if captured at sea under whatever flag by a naval force of the United States, such capture will be lawful. Notwithstanding, however, the exceptions and reservations which have been made by her Majesty's Government, and which have been herein considered, the United States accept with pleasure the declaration by which her Majesty's Govern ment have withdrawn their former concession of a bellige rent character to the insurgents; and this Government fur ther freely admits that the normal relations between the two countries being practically restored to the condition in which they stood before the civil war, the right to search British vessels has come to an end by an arrangement satis factory in every material respect between the two nations. It will be a source of satisfaction to this Government to know that her Majesty's Government have considered tho views heroin presented in a spirit favourable to the estab lishment of a lasting and intimate friendship between the two nations.—l have, &c., (Signed) WILLIAM 11. SEWARD. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET JULY MEETING. There was a meagre card and very little to interest this afternoon. Two matches and five races occupied a couple of hours or so pleasantly enough with no great amount of excitement to render the heat disagreeable. In a field of 15 for the Handicap Plate two favourites suffered defeat from Oberon, whom Loates brought out at the dip and won by three-quarters of a length. The fielders had another good turn in the Beaufort Stakes, which Fan tail, almost unbacked, won in a common canter. The day indeed was disastrous to the gentlemen, as, with the excep tion of Attache in the Town Plate, they did not pull off a single coup. The worst blow of all was the overthrow of Robin Hood in the Exeter Stakes. The money was put down in handfuls, and Lord Portsmouth's colt, who is a slow beginner, and consequently not good at a short dis tance, was boaton after a fine race by Mr. Pitt, whom the Duke of Beaufort only made up his mind to start at the last moment on the off chance. His Grace, however, backed him with his characteristic spirit, and was loudly cheered by the Ring on his success. Curiously enough, neither first nor second are in the Derby.

Foreign-office, June 2, 1865. Sir,—l received on the 25th ult. your despatch of the 10th ult., enclosing a copy, taken from a newspaper, of a procla mation issued by the President of the United States on that day, declaring among other matters that " armed resistance to the authority of this Government," namely, the Govern ment of the United States, "may be regarded as virtually at an end ; and the persons by whom that resistance as well as the operations of insurgent cruisers were directed are fugitives or captives." On the day following the receipt of the despatch intelli gence reached this country of the capture of President Davis by the military forces of the United States. In this state of things her Majesty's Government lost no time in communicating:with the Government of the Em peror of the French as to the course which should bo pur sued by the two Governments ; and while these communi cations were in progress, I received officially from Mr. Adams, on the 80th ult., a copy of the President's procla mation of the 10th. It would, indeed, have been more satisfactory if the Go vernment of the United States had accompanied the com munication of the President's proclamation with a declara tion that they formally renounced the exercise as regards neutrals of the rights of a belligerent ; but her Majesty's Government considered that, in the existing posture of affairs, the delay of any formal renunciation to that effect did not afford to neutral powers sufficient warrant for con tinuing to admit the possession of a belligerent character by a Confederation of States which bad been actually dissolved. The late President of the so-called Confederate States has been captured and transported as a prisoner to Fort Monroe ; the armies hitherto kept in the field by the Confederate States have, for the most part, surrendered or dispersed ; and to continue to recognise those States as belligerents would not only be inconsistent with the actual condition of affairs, but might lead to much embarrassment and com plication in the relations between neutral Powers and the Goyornment of the United States. Her Majesty's Government have accordingly, after com munication with the Government of the Emperor of the French, determined to consider the war which has lately pre vailed between tho T jnited States and the so-called Con federate States of North America to have ceased de facto ; and, on that ground, they recognise the re-establishment of peace within the whole territory of which the United States, before the commencement of the civil war, were in undis turbed possession. As a necessary consequence of this recognition, her Ma jesty's Government forthwith send to her Majesty's autho rities in all ports, harbours, and waters belonging to her Majesty, whether in the United Kingdom or beyond the seas, orders henceforth to refuse admission into any such ports, harbours, and waters, of any vessel of war carrying a Confederate flag, and to require any Confederate vessels of war which, at the time that the orders may be received by her Majesty's authorities, may have already entered such ports, harbours, and waters, on the faith of proclamations heretofore issued by her Majesty, and which, having com plied with the provisions of such proclamations, may be actually within such ports, harbours, and waters, forthwith to depart from the same. But in adopting this decision as regards Confederate vessels of war found within British ports, harbours, and waters, when the orders aro received by her Majesty's autho rities, her Majesty's Government consider that a due regard for national good faith and honour requires that her Ma jesty's authorities should be instructed that any Confede rate vessels of war so required to depart should, on their departure, have the benefit of the prohibition heretofore enforced against their being pursued within 24 hours by a cruiser of the United States lying at the time within the same port, harbour, and waters, and that such prohibition should be then and for the last time maintained in favour of such Confederate vessels of war. Her Majesty's Government cannot anticipate any objection being made by the Government of the United States to this reserve, when the ground on which it is adopted is ex plained to that Government. Her Majesty's Government have, however, thought it right to provide for the contingency of the commander of any Confederate vessel of war which may be found in any port, harbour, or waters of her Majesty's dominions at the time when these new orders are received by her Majesty's authorities, •r may enter such, port, harbour, or waters, within a month after those new orders are received, desiring to divest his vessel of her warlike character, and to assume the flag of any nation recognised by hor Majesty's Govern ment as in a state of peace with her Majesty; and in such a case her Majesty's authorities will be authorised to allow the commander of the vessel to do so, and after disarming her, to remain without a Confederate flag within British waters at his own risk in all respects; in whicb case such commander will be distinctly apprised that ha is to expect no further protection from her Majesty's Government, except such as he may be entitled to in the ordinary course of the administration of the law in time of peace. The rule as to 24 hours would not be applicable to the case of such vessel. I have to instruct you to lose no time in making known to the Government of tb3 United States, by communicating to the Secretary of State a copy of this despatch, the course of action on,which her Majesty's Government have decided, and which they doubt not will bo agreeable to the Govern ment of the United States. But in making this communi cation to the Secretary of State, you will add that her Majesty's Government have adopted this course under the full persuasion that the Government of the United States will, on their part, at once desist from exercising towards neutrals the rights of blockade, and of search and detention of neutral vessels on the high seas, which can be lawfully exercised by belligerents alone, and which a Power not en gaged in warfare cannot under the law of nations assume to exercise.--I am, &c., (Signed) RUSSELL.

The last number of the Archives for the History of Saxony contains an extremely important article, showing that the document hitherto believed to be Peter the Great's political testament, and which con tains a plan for the subjugation of Europe, and notably for the partition of Poland, is not genuine. The author of the article, Count C F. Vitzhum of Eckstadt, proves from reports of Herr von Pezold, Saxon Minister at St. Petersburg in 1747, that Peter the Great really did leave a political testament, but that its contents are diametrically opposite to those of the document hitherto put forward as the true will. From the diplomatic reports of llerr von Pezold, now first discovered, it appears that when Russia was upon the point of declaring war against Tur key in 1737, a Privy Council, presided over by the Empress Anna, was held at St. Petersburg. Upon this occasion Baron Schaffirow, formerly a most con fidential adviser of the Czar, alluded to certain poli tical instructions left by the Emperor for his succes sors. The Empress then recollected that a small casket, containing papers, had been handed to her after the Czar's death by Makarow, his secretary, which she had hitherto laid aside. The box was opened, and Count Biron, the Empress's favourite, then present, communicated its contents confiden tially to the Saxon Minister. Herr von Pezold im mediately forwarded a report upon the subject to the Saxon Government. Count Vitzhum d'Eck stadt has recently been fortunate enough to discover this report in the Saxon Record Office, at Dresden, and publishes very important extracts from it in the above magazine. The following are the maxims of Peter the Great on the policy to be pursued by Russia towards Poland, and which are in direct contradiction with Article IV. of the apocryphal last will, recommend ing the partition of that kingdom : " Perfectly good friendship must at all times be kept up in Russia with Poland, and no opportunity be looked upon as so favourable as to want to gain something fresh at her loss and damage. For as the latter is a large, favoured, and well-peopled country, we must the more avoid driving her to desperation by any sort of oppression, and thereby letting her know her force, because Russia on the other hand is not so populated, but is just as much exposed as Poland. " It must, therefore, be considered that owing to the interest other puissances would take in the con servation of the Poles, she herself, in case of neces sity, would never fail the allies ; but that rather the Turks, Tartars, and Swedes would stand ready to give help, and it would be just as easy for the for mer, if obtaining free and assisted passage through Poland, to fall upon Russia with effect, as it would otherwise be difficult. " Russia has, therefore, only to take care that Poland remains in her present shape, and the means to that end are mainly these :--Followers of the Greek creed in that country are not to be oppressed; the augmentation of the regular army is most care fully to be avoided; and by the grant of certain pensions among the magnates, to have at all times a hold upon some of the cleverest andmost respected, in order, with their help, to be able to advance or counteract, as may be desired, any matter at the Dints. " Further, Russia must establish a close and "secret understanding with the King of Poland, especially in his quality of Elector of Saxony. In this last quality she owes to the same the preservation of her Crown, as had not the Saxons advanced before Riga after the action at Narva, which terminated so disastrously to Russia, thereby causing the Swedish armies to move thither, and divert the whole theatrunz belli to Poland, all ways of recovering her- self would have been cut off. " It is now seen that the King of Prussia con stantly lays by more money and collects troops. As now the King of Poland, especially as Elector, has one and the same interest with Russia to keep a watchful eye upon this neighbour, whose alliance experience has shown cannot be trusted—and to prevent the same making any new conquests, in order therefore to anticipate the same, and in sud den cases to be able reciprocally to give each other aid, no better and safer means can be found than to remain at all times in alliance and understanding with the Electoral House of Saxony." g Sarcey, he theatrical feuilleton of the Opinion Nationale, gives a melancholy account of the position of the musicians at the Thatre Francais. He a ffirms that they receive only from 30 to 40 sous per night, or barely 7 sous each hour. The conductor of the orchestra, for a fixed yearly sum, furnishes so many musicians, and in orper to make as much profit as possible, pay almost nothing, c~LI fz - 0 r::,'71, 7 :7 -- - . - -ii, -.7 :Z2 . : . .f ,. ..1 /3.:0.: '^i`;4:.:-,-. 4 )-- t , j'' . l i .

Mr. Routledge, like many other notable men of the time, owes his position as an opulent, honourable man of business, not to adventitious aid, but to that best source of reliance for success in the battle of life to all pos sessed of energy and perseverance—self-help. He is a native of Cumberland : and after serving an apprenticeship to Mr. Thurnam, of Carlisle, came up to London in the year 1833, when he procured employment in the house of Mess's. Baldwin and Cradock, of Paternoster-row. But ere long he quitted this to start in the bookselling busi ness, in a very small way, in Ryder's-court, Leicester square. Finding that he had much leisure time on his hands, he sought. for, and obtained, a subordinate position in the Tithe-office, Somerset-house, the duties of which were light, while the emolument opportunely enabled him to turn his savings to account in increasing his business. From this starting-point, his sagacity and foresight in duced him to become the purchaser of remainders of modern books, tho sale of which at the original prices had ceased. The success that attended his first ventures stimu lated him to more strenuous endeavours to develops into activity a principle in the bookselling trade that had hitherto been comparatively dormant—that of creating an extensive and permanent market for works of a kind likely to prove popular, by issuing them at prices that would place them within the reach of all—prices so low as to have appeared to the trade generally, at the time, ab surd, in view of any profitable result. Indeed, Mr. Rout ledge's first efforts in this direction were far from being favourably received by the London booksellers, who re garded him in the light of an innovator. But his views reached farther than the limits of their forecast or influ ence. He had, while on two or three experimental journeys, made during the holiday time granted him when in the Tithe-office, not failed to notice that the resources of the country bookselling trade were allowed to remain inert ; that there was, consequently, a wide field open to any en terprising spirit who would undertake the herculean task of developing them. Resolving to follow up this idea to its fullest practicable extent, he resigned his official sivoly to his own business ; and being fortunate in the selection of books that then formed the nucleus of his stock of cheap literature, he went to work in earnest to create a machinery throughout the kingdom, by the establishment of efficient agents, on whose co-operation with his own efforts he could rely, that would have the effect of giving the widest possible circulation to his publications. The creation of this machinery eventually led to the issue by Messrs. Routledgo of the variDus popular series known as " The Railway Library, " The Popular Library," and similar collections, comprising many hundred volumes of standard works. It may not be out of place to note here that, among the authors whose works were first intro duced into the cheap series, at the then almost unprece dentedly low price of one shilling for a complete work, were the late Fenimore Cooper, Captain Marryat, and Wash ington Irving. "Uncle Tom's Cabin," which soon after followed, was a still greater sucooss, about half a million of copies having been sold. Mr. Routledge commenced his brilliant career in Ryder's Court, September, 1836, with one assistant, his brother-in-law, the late Mr. Wm. Henry Warne, then a youth of fifteen ; but before long the business increased so much that larger premises were necessary ; and in 1845 it was removed to 36, Soho-square. More attention was now given to the purchase of good remainders, and a little pub lishing entered upon, ono of the earliest of the larger ven tures being the " Notes on the Old and New Testament," by Albert Barnes, a popular American author. In 1848 Mr. William Warne was taken into partnership, and in that year was commenced the Railway Library, of which a volume was published monthly until the series now numbers nearly 400 volumes. In 1851 Mr. Routledge took his brother-in-law, Mr. Frederick Warne into partner ship, and at the end of the same year removed to Farring don-street. Up to this period Messrs. Routledge had confined them selves chiefly to the re-issue of standard works by British and American authors, but now they began to compete with the principal publishers in direct dealings with many of the most eminent authors of the day. Conspicuous among transactions of this kind was the bold (and by many deemed Quixotic) venture of purchasing in Decem ber, 1853, from Sir E. Bulwer Lytton, for the enormous price of £20,000, the limited right of issuing a cheap series of his works for the term of ton years—an enormous price, indeed, when it is borne in mind that the works in ques tion had for most part been for a long time widely circu lated by different publishers in various forms, and more recently also at low prices. There can be no doubt, how ever, that it was a masterly move on the part of the saga cious publishers ; and that it really answered the purpose intended by them is clearly proved by their having re newed the contract for a further term of years. Through their association with the great literary baronet., by the acquisition of the privilege of publishing this popular edi tion of his works, Messrs. Routledge obtained a prestige which has ever since stood them in good stead. Arrange ments of a similar kind with authors scarcely loss popular —Mr. Disraeli, Mr. W. 11. Ainsworth, Howard Russell, G. I'. R. James, &c.—quickly followed, to say nothing of the publication of original works by Grant, Mayne Reid, Longfellow, Prescott, and other eminent authors. Among many other claims to honourable mention, the liberal spirit in which Messrs. Routledge have embarked, on the publication of various editions of the works of our greatest poet deserves special notice. Foremost amongst these is the renowed " Pictorial Shakspere," originally published by Mr. Charles Knight, and which is now being thoroughly revised by that accomplished editor, and re issued in a serial form ; next in importance is the edition prepared by Howard Staunton, who received for his lite rary labours the very large sum of £l,OOO. Messrs. Rout ledge are also the proprietors or llazlitt's, Thomas Camp bell's, and other editions of Shakspere. Nor has the publishing career of this remarkable house been less conspicuous for the liberal encouragement it has given to natural talent in art, having expended vast sums in the production of such costly works as " Wood's Na tural History," (3 vols. imp. 8vo), " Routledge's Illustrated Shakspere," edited by Staunton (3 vols. imp. 8vo), &c. ; besides various highly embellished gift-books, such as the "'lllustrated Edition of Longfellow's Poems," " Poets of the Nineteenth Century," " English Sacred Poetry." " The Home Affections," "Montgomery's Poems," " Eliza Cook's Poems," " Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress," " Words worth's Poems," " Robinson Crusoe," "Birket Poster's English Scenery," &c. &c. Many of these works contain some of the best pictorial illustrations of this eminently prolific age in that branch of art, in designs by Birket Foster, Milais, Watson, Gilbert, Holman Hunt, Harvey, Pickeragill, Tenniel, Weir, Wolf, Clayton, Godwin, d the ertment transactions of Cor bould, Duncan, Dodgson, R ea d , & c. H ow e xt ens i ve h ave been he u fi s e s o s of Routledg e best shown and byC Co. . in this pathe of their business fact that they have paid to one house alone, eminent for furnishing woodcuts, Messrs. Dalziel Brothers, upwards of £50,000. Of Longfellow's Poems, the first of the magnificent series of illustrated quartos, nearly 12,000 copies have been sold, a fact which the author will be de lighted to hear, and at the same time it is one that will make him and every lover of justice regret that in conse quence of the want of a reciprocity treaty, no portion of the profit should have reached the pocket of one to whom it was so justly due. Truly marvellous has been the sale of many of Messrs. Routledge's publications; and if we had not obtained our information from trustworthy sources, the numbers would have appeared almost incredible. Of Russell's " Narrative of the Crimean War," more than 20,000, of " Soyer's Shil ling Cookery," more than 250,000, of Rarey on " Horse Training," more than 150,000 copies wore sold in a very few weeks. A specimen of Messrs. Routledgo's energy was displayed in the production of " Queochy," the copy for which was placed in the printer's hands one Monday morn ing, the sheets at the binders on Tharsday, and 20,000 copies disposed of and sent out to the tracte by the following Monday. In further proof of Mr. Routledge's energy and enter prise, we must not omit to mention that, in the year 1854, he paid a visit to the United States, and there established abranch of his business in New York,which is still carried on, and to which books to the value of £B,OOO were for warded in one year. On the 9th of November, 1858, he took into partnership his eldest son, Mr. Robert W. Rout ledge, when the firm, previously styled George Routledge and Co., became Routledge, Warne, and Routledge ; but it did not so continue long, Mr. Wm. Warne dying in the following May. Mr. Frederick Warne having now, on the termination of the partnership, left to establish a fresh business for himself in Bedford-street, Covent-garden, Mr. Edmund Routledge enters the firm; and the style is ac cordingly changed to George Routledge and Sons. to o It would occupy too much of our space were wes more into particulars, but much that is of interest remainss. to be said on some future occasion: we, I?""e t v h e e r' 3o ll years remark that all has not been sunshine during legal storms y Mr. Routlodge has carried on the business, calm.

The business was carried on in Farringdon-street, where it continued until the alterations in that neighbourhood made by the London, Dover, and Chatham Railway Com pany, when it was transferred to the more commodious premises at Broadway, Ludgate-hill.—The Bookseller. A ANOMALY OF THE BRITISH CONSTITUTION.- Strange things occasionally happen under the British Con stitution. Within the last few days its operation led to an occurrence of a very curious incident. About midnight on Monday the Attorney-General of England was speaking n defence of a person on his trial before the House of Com mons and subsequently condemned by a vote of that house. On the following evening, at 4 o'clock, the same Attorney- General was addressing in the House of Lords, as the supreme judge in that house, the person whom he defended in the House of Commons on the previous night. If such a thing happened in the United States of America what a shout 4 ridicule would be raised against Republican insti tutions! r 4 := _ ' ..~~ )n ell ey e- ~.
