LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 8, 1866. The advancing session and summer temperature do not apparently seem to check the excitement attending the debate on the Reform Bill. Last night an unusually full house presented a most ani mated spectacle, while two momentous divisions materially strengthened the position of the Govern ment. It wag hardly anticipated at the beginning of the evening, at least by the uninitiated, that affairs would be brought to such a crisis, and the campaign opened heavily enough. Clauses 1 and 2 of the redoubtable Franchise Bill were agreed to with only trifling amendments, and clause 3, the interpretation clause, was postponed. In moving clause 4, which relates to the county franchise, and on which Mr. WALPOLE had given notice of an amendment fixing the franchise at £2O, instead of at £l4 proposed by the Government, Mr. GLAD STONE explained that they were willing to with draw the proposal to give votes to leaseholders in boroughs, but that they were resolved to give the most determined opposition to the amendment. In this the Government have acted fairly and wisely. The county franchise is one of the cardinal points of the measure. It is by the Franchise Bill that they are pledged more especially to stand or fall ; the Redistribution is not a measure which can be regarded as vital. No one pretends that it is per _ feet in either outline or detail, and should it ever become law it will be found to undergo many alterations. By a kind of afterthought, or hasty concession to the loudly expressed - wishes of the House, the Redistribution scheme was hurriedly framed and biought forward rather with a view of exhibiting the prin ciple on which the Government intended to deal with the inequalities of the representation than with any idea of making the Franchise Bill depen dent on its Buccessor. For the convenience of the house the two bin s may be fused into one, but the substance of the Ref orm Bill is to be found in the reduction of the F ranchise. To this reduction all parties in both houses are pledged, The QUEEN'S speeches, Ministerial explanations, Official promises, resolutions of the House of Commons, and Parlia mentary majorities have again and again declared that the representation of the people needed amend.. ins, and that amendment con.c. 1 i onl y tend one way. The vast increase in the wealth and populati on of the country leaves our representative system so far in arrears that it is really now more disproportionate to the numbers, wealth, and intelligence of the popu_ lation than it was fifty years ago. Besides the mere material advance the strides made by the populace in knowledge and cultivation in political principle and public spirit loudly demand increased political privileges ; and the mere substratum of the Go vernment measure, £7 franchise in boroughs and £l4 in counties, is surely moderate enough to satisfy any liefo:= , '. The arguments directed against such temperate reductions as tee c.re in fact directed against all Reform. We shall find their prototypes, in the great debates of 1830-32, when daylight would break over an excited hough listening to most solemn words of warning relative to dangers which we have lived to see converted into blessings. Mr. GLADSTONE, therefore, did wisely in standing firm to these two vital points of the measure, since they have approved themselves to tie com - Anon sense of the country, and have been on former occasions supported by Parliament. No doubt arguments of a plausible nature can be brought forward against them collectively and individually, as was last night done by several gentlemen who supported Mr.I,VALroLE's amendment,who, it will be observed, sanctioned a reduction of the county franchise. The especial limit which £2O offers to the reduction is not easily perceptible. There is no more reason why £2C should be a limit than £l4, and as the house, as Mr. GLADSTONE remitclEd his hearers, has already frequently given its sanction to a £lO franchise, which was embodied in the Reform Bills of 1854 and 1859, there can be no ground for ob jecting to a £l4 franchise as democratic and extravagant. The verdict of the majority was on the side of the Ministers, 297 deciding against 283, in favour of the £l4 county franchise, a result which was received with enthusiastic applause by the Ministerial ranks. No doubt the division was a little influenced by an attempt which had been made earlier in the evening to take the Government by surprise, an attempt to which Lord STANLEY lent himself in an unexpected manner. Surely some notice should have been given of a motion which proposed to alter the whole course of the debate. Lord STANLEY argued that it would be better to delay all the franchise clauses until the redistribu tion scheme was disposed of, since the franchise was simply a matter which could be shortly disposed of, while it was likely enough that when Government got through the franchise clauses they would revert to their original position, and drop the Redistribu tion Bill altogether. All this may be very true, but the fact of the motion being made without any warning gave it the unfavourable appearance of a designed attack upon the Government, and not only excited a feeling in their favour at the time, but gave them the advantage all through the evening. It cannot be too often impressed upon politicians of all ranks that their conduct in this matter of reform is jealously watched by the country, and that no temporary triumph or oratorical distinction can in the end compensate them for having justly incurred the suspicion of subordinating the public good to the interests of party. Yesterday morning the Prussian troops entered Holstein, a step which is not certain to bring about war, but which will in all probability do so, and hereafter be pointed out as the origin of the calamity. The troops are to occupy Kiel, Rends borg, and Itzehoe. The Prussian Minister at Ham burg has lodged an attachment upon all funds deposited by the Holstein Government in the Nord- Deutsche and other Hamburg banks. This is an extreme step to take, but it is only in keeping with the other acts of that unscrupulous and inconside rate Power. The Austrian Governor of Holstein will, it is said, only protest against this entry of the Prussian forces into Holstein, and their occupation of those places which are not garrisoned, which of course will be the wisest thing that he can do under the circumstances of the case. The decision of the Emperor of AUSTRIA is awaited by the Holstein officials, whose present position is a very awkward one altogether. It is difficult to say what is the meaning of Prussia in thus adopting the significant course of entering Holstein, unless it be to provoke the Austrians to open resistance. In any case we shall certainly consider Prussia to be the aggressor, whatever turn events may take during the war now so imminent. It would have been far more in accordance with the interests of peace for the Berlin Government to have protested against the appeal to the Diet to settle the question of Schleswig-Hol stein, instead of sending armed forces to carry out their wishes, or at any rate to provoke those who did not immediately concede to them. No wonder, I Considering all things, that the Vienna journals should consider the outbreak of hostilities to be imminent. The Emperor of AUSTRIA has received the " loyal addresses" from the inhabitants of Pesth and Buda, and, in return, has declared that he receives " great comfort and support from the earnest devotion accorded him by his people." In deed this zeal contrasts very curiously with the un willingness of the Prussian people to the war. The Neue Preussiche Zeitung of yesterday has an article which states that Austria having of her own accord violated the Gastein Convention the legal state of things as fixed by the Treaty of Vienna is again re-established. In consequence of this new aspect of things the extraordinary statement is made that " Both Powers can, therefore, administer the Go vernment in the Duchies, and place garrisons— Prussia in Holstein and Austria in Schleswig —and a separate exercise of the common rights is hence forth inadmissible." This is quite insulting to com mon sense, and all straightforward parties would entertain much more respect for Prussia did she openly declare that the present state of things is insufferable, and that she will commence war rather than continue to act upon this plan of systemisedhypocrisy. All the nations of Europe may by this time be pretty well aware of the real state of things, and hence this shilly-shallying conduct is the more unmeaning and inconclusive. It is quite out of the question that the Diet should take no notice of the appeal made to them by Austria, and it is equally inconceivable that Austria should tolerate the interference of Prussia in the arbitrary fashion prescribed. The two Powers, when appa rently on friendly terms, could not agree as to the policy to be pursued in the Duchies, and there is no chance at all of their now actin(' with unanimity w hen so many adverse circumstances have arisen, and when such contrary interests prevail. It is stated that M. D ROUYN DE L'HUYS has despatched a Circular Note to the representatives of France at the German Courts, in which he details the reason of the failure of the Conference, and re quests them to impress upon the middle and minor States the importance o f "remaining completely neutral" in the event of hostilities, so that the war may be as much as possible " localised." This is very wise counsel, and we hope that it may be fol lowed ; but if so, it will completely negative the plans of Prussia. That wily Power has been all along manoeuvring to get all, or nearly all, of those States to assist her, and she will not view this communication of the French Minister with much favour or regard. In consequence of the insulting conduct of Prussia to the Federal Diet the proposals of Austria seem to meet with complete acquiescent? : the last one was, that the contingents of Electoral llesse should an on:sitnaidont occupy May euce, and that the troops o f H anov er that an ar d D should be l e ft ava il a ble for active service. It is at a ll events satisfactory to not i ce prevails that Denmark w ill regain Danish w ' Schle • out or g• will Wheth er war breaks not, thi s be a fine lesson for the Prussians, wlii some good on that stolid a nd indifferent p eo pl e. eh in time may wor k There never was a greater wrong or injustice per petrated in the annals of history than that effected ; against Denmark two years ago and certainly effectually was a wrong mo r e spee d ily and OUSES.—Messrs.

Already they have alienated the goodwill and for feited the respect of the people of this country ; they have provoked the contempt of France, and will, doubtless, soon learn the lesson of retaliation from that Power when the war has once fairly been started; and as for their own allies, the Austrians, they have incensed them to that degree that nothing short of open hostilities seems likely to settle the numerous disputes that have arisen between them. The inde pendent States of Germany, which Prussia aspired to lead in war and direct in peace, are nearly all against her, directly or indirectly. Whatever mis takes may be made by casual observers, who never look further or deeper than the policy of the mo ment, as to the causes which have led to this war, those who take a correct estimate of things will know better than to attribute the out break of hostilities to any other reason than the dishonest policy of the Berlin Cabinet, so unscrupulously planned and so recklessly pursued. That, and no other, has been the origin of the war ; and whatever be the consequences of the event, however severe the losses, however great the suffer ings, however calamitous the effect on national progress and prosperity, the chief blame will rest on Prussia, and the dreadful responsibility must remain with her rulers. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Thursday Evening. The impression which I stated was prevalent in well-informed quarters, that the " reservations" of Austria would lead to an indefinite postponement of the Congress, is fully realised. The Moniteur states that the Government of the Emperor, parti cipating in the views of England and Russia, that these " reserves" would render a Conference of no real utility, " can but participate in this mode of viewing the subject, and it therefore gives up, for the moment, the hope which was connected with the immediate assembly of the Plenipotentiaries." The Siecle says it has received a despatch from its correspondent in Germany, which enables it to confirm a statement, transmitted by telegraph from another quarter, announcing that a treaty has been signed between Prussia and Italy, and that the two allies will immediately commence the campaign together against Austria. Prussia has declared to Austria that the treaty of Gastein has been violated by the attitude assumed by the Cabinet of Vienna at the Diet, and that it will make use of the right conferred by the treaty of Vienna to occupy Holstein. The Siecle then says : " Once more the cause of justice and right will triumph, and this time Italy will be free from the Alps to the Adriatic, whilst Austria, awakened, will derive from the struggle the elements of a better organisation. Austria will not only lose the Quadrilateral and Venice, but she will lose her German prestige. It was she, too, who deserved it. She might have had the world on her side, and she has set the world against her." In The Sun of Monday there was a notice of an essay on " Parisian Manners," by the Rev. Archer Gurney. This gives me the opportunity of saying a word relative to the labours of that gentleman in his clerical capacity. Mr. Gurney is the minister of the English Church in the Rue Boissy d'Anglas, formerly the Rue du la Madeleine. There is ano ther English church in the immediate vicinity—the Rue d'Aguesseau. The minister of the latter church is, I believe, chaplain to the Embassy ; and, it is said, receives no less than £7OO a year for his ministrations. Mark what a difference there is in labour when Government gives a good subsidy. Mr. Gurney devotes himself with great energy to all that appertains to religious duty, charity, and con solation. Ile is in attendance at the church every morning. He administers the Holy Communion every morning, reads prayers every day, and per forms various duties connected with religion. At the other church there is service on Sundays only, evening service once a week, and the minister at tends at the church but once in the week only for an hour. Such is the difference between what may be called the Go fernment church and the church for the million. It is cheering to see that a man of such varied attainments as Mr. Gurney will find time to instruct and amuse through channels not connected with the church. He does so, and yet his lighter labours do not divert him from theologi cal duties, for his sermons are very impressive. lie is earnest, persuasive, and eloquent in enforcing the great may h truths a o v f e religion.on lytime t The o casual goo visitor nce to church, to Paris, who should go and hear one of Mr. Gurney's sermons. Without the charlatanaire of Mr. Spurgeon, his discourses are calculated to make the hearer " read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest" the lessons taught by the Gospel. We all have read of the mode described in " Gil Blas" of a beggar holding out one hand for money and presenting a gun with the other. A still more ingenious method of soliciting charity was lately adopted by a beggar in the south of France. This man was in the habit of prowling about the country with a very savage wolf. The wolf was muzzled, but if the beggar happened to hit upon an uncharit able person in any house where he presented himself, he threatened to unmuzzle the animal. Generally speaking this threat produced the desired effect, and a little money was given to the mendicant to get rid of him. The nuisance, however, became so in tolerable that information was given to the police. The wolf was summarily killed and its owner is in prison. Neither of these accounts is exaggerated. I can authenticate the description given in " Gil Blas" of Spanish beggars. Some years ago, while I was riding over a solitary mountainous district, on my way from Burgos to Madrid, two men rushed down from the side of the mountain, and, each pre senting a musket, asked for charity. This persuasive style, of course, induced me to give a trifle without delay. I rode off with courteous salute from the men, of " Va usted con Dios" (God be with you). The committee appointed to distribute the sums raised for the relief of the relatives of the sufferers by cholera have made their report. The sum sub scribed was 317,469 f. 30c. Assistance was given in more than 3,000 cases, to which the sum devoted was 99,404 f. For 339 children and 128 families an annual sum is to be allowed. This item of expense amounts to 101,556 f. Fifty-five orphans (30 boys and 25 girls) have been placed in asylums, where the girls will remain till they shall be 21 and the boys to the age of 15. The amount of pensions for this purpose is 34,643 f. The sum of 16,000 f. was devoted to the assistance of sufferers in various towns in France. Their Majesties and the Prince Imperial subscribed 50,000 f. It appears that various geological changes have taken place at Santorni. The island, at first formed what was named George the First Island, is now not only united to that of Cameni and Aphroessa, but it has nearly extended to Purification Island. At about 10 metres from Aphroessa another island has sprung up, which has been named Resurrection Island. A letter from the island of Cerrigo states that a portion of land remarked for the first time in July last between that island and Cape Matapan has risen considerably. The weather is again settled and very hot in Paris, but the provincial papers record severe storms of thunder and lightning, by which there have been two or three lives lost. In the Ardeche hail and thunder storms have destroyed property of the esti mated value of £16,000 sterling. A curious or unfounded story is called a canard (a duck). The Union de l' Orient has a statement which either way looks like a canard. It says that a duck has just been hatched with three claws, two in their natural position and one near the tail. The two claws are perfect, but the third one has neither bone nor articulation. I am sorry to hear that Holman the jockey is in rather a dangerous condition. He rode Tambour Battaut at the Vincennes Races on Sunday, and his none fell over him. There were no bones broken, but the concussion on the brain was so severe that he continues in an insensible state. Dr. Benoist, the yell known surgeon to the Porte St. Martin, has justdied rather suddenly. He dis tinguished himself ly his courage and skill in attend ing the cases of choera, and his death is ascribed to some affection direaly or indirectly connected with that terrible disease The proposed lasi respecting literary property has been referred back to the committee, so that pro bably there will be clanges made during this session.

General Von Gab]enz has issued a proclamation, protesting against the entry of the Prussians into Holstein, and stating that he awaits the orders of his Sovereign as to the course he is to pursue. He announces that the Government of Holstein is transferred to Altona, to which town all public functionaries are to address their communications. SCHLESWIG, June 8. General Von Manteuffel has issued a proclama tion, addressed to the inhabitants of Schleswig, an nouncing that he had been ordered to despatch troops to Holstein, for the maintenance of the so vereign rights of his royal master, which bad been placed in 'jeopardy. This step is, however, merely of a defensive character. HAmnuzia, June 7. The Prussian troops entered Holstein this morn ing. They are ordered to occupy Rendsborg, Kiel, and Itzehoe. __ _ HAMBURG, June 8. The Duke of Augustenburg has arrived here. WARSAW, June 8. The Polish Council of State has, by order of the Governor, ceased to exercise its functions. The title of the Bank of Poland is to be altered into Bank-Comptoir. The consequence of this change will be that in future no Polish bank notes will be issued, and that Russian bank notes only will circulate in Poland. FLORENCE, June 7. The Chamber of Deputies has resolved to -hold two sittings daily, commencing to-morrow. In the morning it will discuss the Ministerial bills relative to the registration and stamp taxes, and in the afternoon the bills for the suppression of religious houses and the secularisation of the ecclesiastical property. This afternoon the debate commenced upon the bill for the secularisation of the ecclesiastical pro perty. Signor D'Ondes-Reggio opposed the bill, condemning it as contrary both to the constitution and the right of property, and moved the previous question. Signor Pisanelli defended the bill as consonant with justice and civillisation, and explained the judicial grounds for the expediency of the measure. The previous question, moved by Signor D'Ondes-Reggio, was then put to the vote and rejected. THE EVACUTION OF RENDSBURG BY THE AUSTRIANS. RENDSBURG, JUNE 8, Noon. On the departure of the Austrian troops the Prussian commander addressed them in a speech of a very cordial character. A company of Prussian marines and a military band, as well as all the Prussian officers, were pre sent at the departure of the Austrian staff and the members of the Holstein Government. The Austrian national hymn was played, and the parting was most friendly. PAIIIS, JUNE 8. The Constitutionnel of this morning says :—" The position of France is not changed by late events. France continues as before to hold aloof from the conflict. She has formed no engagements, and will preserve all her liberty of action. Whether war breaks out or not she will not fail to exercise French influence anew in favour of peace whenever an opportunity may offer. France would only tak e an active part in events if imperative circumstances should render it a duty for the defence of the na tional honour or interests." SPAIN. MADRID, June 8. Marshal O'Donnell stated yesterday in the Con gress that , when, with reference to the flight of General Prim, he reproached the Progressists with cowardice, he alluded to conspirators, and not to those who fairly opposed the Government in the press, the electoral Committees, or the Congress.

The late baronet was born Sept. 5, 1810, and succeeded his father as eighth baronet Dec. 27, 1820. In 1843 he assumed the additional surname of Rokewode by royal sign manual under the will of his uncle, Mr. John George Rokewode, of Goldham Hall, Suffolk. In 1830 he married Miss Ade laide, youngest daughter of the late Mr. Henry Drummond, M.P., of Albury-park, Surrey, and sister of the Countess Percy. THE SAILORS' ADVANCE OF WAGES MOVEMENT.— A public meeting of the seamen of the port of Lon don was held last evening in the schoolroom of Ebenezer Chapel, Hi g h- street,"Shadwell, the Marquis Townshend presiding, relative to the advance of wages movement, and with the view of forming a provident and protective society for sailors. The noble chairman rather fully exposed the dangers and hardships to which seamen were exposed, and expressed a hope that ia the next session of Parliament an amendment to the Merchant Shipping Act would ba in troduced, so as to provide proper accommodation for sea men, and for the purpose of making provisions respect ing the manning and loading of ships, which were neither secured nor contemplated by existing law. Mr. King, a seaman, road the rules of the London Seamen's Benefit Society, the formation of which he proposed to the meeting, as also the London Seamen's Protective Fund. The ob ject of the former society is to give assistance to the sea man in case of shipwreck, or to his wife in the event of death, and that of the latter society to afford relief to the seaman whea insufficient remuneration is offered him. Mr. Galligham proposed, and M r . King seconded, a reso lution to the effect " That this society will not support any of its members in a demand for higher wages than their present rate except in the event of war, when they would be guided by circumstances." The resolution was carried with acclamation, and a deputation was appointed to wait upon Mr. Tidd Pratt, registrar of friendly societies, to obtain his certificate. A. cordial vote of thanks to the noble chairavia concluded the proceeding's. FRANCE. BOURSE, June 7.--Two o'Clock.—The tone of the market has somewhat improved, and quotations generally show an advance. " Discounts " have again been resumed on a very considerable scale ; 565,000 f. of French Rente, 277,500 Italian Fives, 2,800 Credit Mobilier Shares, 400 Comiptoir d'Es compte, 425 Northern, and other tolerably heavy amounts being posted up to-day.

The appli cation has been left over for consideration. LITERATURE. Against the Stream. By Joseph Hatton, author o: " Bitter Sweets." 3 Vols. C. J. Skeet. Like many another adventurer in the troubled waters of life, Jacob Martyn, from his youth up ward has to struggle on " against the stream." Unlike the majority of such adventurers the hero of this romantic story wins his way to " Fame, Fortune, and Matrimony." As the chronicler of his momentous history truly remarks, " there is ho knowing what a little genius may do. when tempered by adversity, stimulated by love, and trained by perseverance"— like the postscript of a lady's letter, the last-named ingredient being by far the most important. The story is written throughout in a pleasant strain, and the character of Jacob is sufficiently at tractive. He is simple and genuine in pro sperity, and manly and earnest in adversity. Ile meets with a very charming lady-love to whom, however, he at one time threatens to prove inconstant, but " all is well that ends well." One of the most amusing characters among the con temporaries of Jacob is Spenzonian Whiffler, " the low comedy" boy of the school, who is destined to become "'an ornament to the profession." The style of the narration is genial, and there is humour, and good humour, to be found in its pages, but in deference to the fashion of the day there is of course a murder, and a murder committed by no less a personage than a high civic dignitary I " The great man of Middleton, the leader of public opinion, the benevolent Mayor, standing in a felon's dock to be tried for one of the most horrible crimes," was enough to create a sensation in the whole dis trict. The disappointment and downfall of Jacob's father is naturally described, and the author takes occasion to make some very appropriate remarks, to the effect that success does not always wait upon de sert. " Successful men," he says, " have everybody's favours and admiration. Commend me to some of the unsuccessful, who have deserved the triumphs they have not obtained. They are as numerous as their more fortunate brethren, depend upon it." With all his sympathy for the unfortunate, how ever, the author has taken good care to lavish wealth and honour upon his chosen hero. The winding up of the story, indeed, reminds us some what of the extravagant profusion with which, at the close of their adventures, Albert Smith was wont to endow the heroes of his amusing romances. " Against the Stream" is gracefully dedicated to Mark Lemon as " a writer, who, for more than thirty years, has adorned dramatic, ballad, and miscellaneous literature, with a pen that has touched all the noblest sentiments of the human heart." Clergymen of the Church of England. By Anthony Trollope. 1 Vol., pp. 130. Chapman and Hall. Anthony Trollope appears to have a special qua lification for portraying clergymen. The sketches in this volume, reprinted from a con temporary, describe the various wearers of the band and surplice " from the Modern Eng lish Archbishop," down to " the Clergyman who subscribes for Colenso." " The Archdeacon," " the Parson of the Parish," " the Town Incum bent," " the College Fellow who has taken orders," and others, are here very happily described in their general characteristics by the graphic pen that has so vividly depicted to us the life - like individualities of " the Warden " and " the Dean," and the Parson of Framley, and Bishop Proudie and " Mrs. Bishop," and best of all, impetuous, out-spoken, vehement Arch deacon Grantley. In the pages of his own fictions Mr. Trollope may find more interesting, if not more accurate, - types of the English clergyman than any that may have suggested the sketches before us. Alexander Von Humboldt; or, What may be Accont plished in a Life-time. By F. A. Schwarzenburg 1 vol., pp. 207. " There is no life," says the writer of this very interesting biography, " which, however insignificant it may appear, does not in some way advantage the world. But a life like Humboldt's, enriched with the experience of two centuries, and illuminated by a long series of splendid achievements, opened a new avenue into the realms of truth and science." It is this most interesting and valuable life that is briefly but comprehensively considered in this little work. " It is good," says the author, " to contemplate the union of a well-balanced character with a completed and harmonious destiny ;" adding, " a survey of the whole life of Humboldt, enriched by the manifold conceptions of three-parts of the globe, manifests the ever clear and calm mind."' " Never was a man less exalted by his own individual achievements; never was there a teacher so eager to be taught in turn ; never a mind so humble under its wonderful weight of knowledge." The book is aptly entitled, " What may be Accomplished in a Life-time," and is well worthy of attentive perusal. Temple Bar. " Lady Adelaide's Oath" is continued, and the body of Harry Vane is supposed to be brought in by a fishing boat, but, of course, it will hereafter turn out that it is not so. Adelaide agrees to marry Mr. Lester, which will turn out unfortunate in the long run, according to the intimation we receive. In allusion to his projected union, it is written, "a mother's happiness was to be shattered ; how con trary do 'things run in this life. George Lester thought, in his blindness, that Paradise had fallen upon him—better for him that he had chosen Mar garet Bordillion." As a contrast to the tragic events at the Castle, among which was included the death of her second son, by which means Herbert became the heir, we meet with a stormy scene in domestic life concerning the housekeeper of Mr. Lester. It forms an agreeable change, and the picture of home thus sketched is interesting after the dreary state and solemn gloom of Vane Castle. " Archie Lovell" is continued, and the young heroine does not improve upon acquaintance. Me sketch here given of her course may well serve as a warn i ng to giddy girls in their heedless course. Archie had been badly educated ; but she knew better than to conduct herself as she did ; and, as was very natural under the circumstances, she added falsehood to falsehood to screen her error. In the next number we shall probably find Archie settled in England, as Mr. Lovell h as been presented with a living, and her escapades in English life will doubtless be surprising. " June Music" is the title of some pretty verses by Mortimer Collins, which. are appropriate to the seasoh. " Only Too True" is completed ; it is a melancholy tale, the scene of which is laid in Italy. " Modern Eccentrics" is the third number of these sketches, which furnish us with descriptions of peculiar people. Mrs. Garrick is the last one met with. " Finance Frauds and Failures" is an article most suitable to the present time, and will be read with interest. Some sensible observations are made• concerning the evils that accrue from the present " systematic over-trading ;" and, it is said, " with the collapse of the finance companies, we shall hear less of frauds and failures." " The Vine and the Pine" is a sketch of - French places that imparts information in a pleasing manner. "Dead yet Speaking" concerns the his tory of the ancient and extinct peerages of the British Empire, and several curious suggestions are made of the dangers that might take place if certain attainders were reversed. " French women under the Empire" presents us with some account of the persons of the present day in France, which is by no means a flattering one ; indeed it is said that a deteriorative effect has been produced of late upon French society. COLBURN'S NEW MONTHLY. " Overland by Siberia to Australia" is an interesting paper of travels founded on the recent narrative of an ad venturous-Frenchman. Two other papers of a kin dred character describe Wanderings through Italy in search of its Ancient Remains, and a Voyage from Sea to Sea through the Isthmus of Suez. For fiction we have the continuation of " Idalia," the conclusion of "Lilian's Inheritance," and " Snowed Up," by Mrs. Bushby. Francis Jacox contributes an essay on " Contradictory People," a pretty large class, by the way, and Nicholas Michell gives us a pleasant song about " City and Country' Bells." THE VICTORIA MAGAZINE.---" Frederika Bremer" is the subject of the first paper, and a very attrac tive subject she is. The lengthened notice of her travels in the United States is brought to a close, and supplies very interesting reading. " The Civil and Political Status of the Female Sex" is continued, and treats of the condition of the female serf as wife and widow under the feudal law. A criticism on the exhibition of the Royal Academy and two instalments of fictions form the principal part of the remaining contents. ONCE A WEEK. New series. Part V.—This serial maintains its improved character ; and what with snng, sketch, story, travel, essay, and illustra tion deserves to be ranked in the foremost class of the attractive miscellanies, whose principal purpose is to amuse and entertain. THE ARGOSY. No. Vll.—This magazine scarcely keeps up the promise with which it started. Charles Reade's story is not in his happiest vein, and the general character of the contents has lost something of its first animation. There are several things worth reading in this number, but we should like Mr. Editor to guard agains t flagging energies. THE ECLECTIC.—We have here a thoughtful article on the " Mystery of Pain," a delightful chapter on the life of " Eugenie de Guerin," the sister of the brilliant Maurice, and several critical notices on works of various styles and characters. NEWTON'S LONDON JOURNAL contains a valedic tory address, the present being the last number of this long-established and useful periodical. THE INTELLECTUAL OBSERVER contains a geed deal of scientific information, and will be gladly welcomed by all who like solid reading. THE ENGLISH MECHANIC is admirably adapted to engineers and skilled workmen in various trades , offering them the means of acquiring much service able knoWledge. The Prince and Princess of Wales at Aldershot. The first grand field-day of the season took place yesterday at Aldershot, the Prince and Princess of Wales, with the Crown Prince of Denmark, Prince Teck, and the Duke of Cambridge, attended by Col. Keppel, the Countess of Macclesfield, Gen. Knollys, Capt. Lund, and General Kauffman, left Waterloo Station in a special train on the South-Weste ra Railway, at 20 minutes past 10 in the morning, an d reached Farnborough soon after 11. They were re ceived by Sir J. Yorke Scarlett, commanding at Aldershot, and proceeded from the station to hisre sidence, where they remained for a few minute:J. Then, accompanied by the Duke of Manchester, who wore his handsome uniform as colonel of th e Ist Hunts Light Horse, the Royal party rode to the sand at the bottom of Caesar's Camp, where the troops were already drawn up. The Prince of Wales, who wore the uniform of colonel of the 1 01 Hussars, rode the fine charger which he bought oa Tuesday from Capt. Tempest ; the Prince of Dew mark, in the uniform of the Danish Guards, rode his brother-in-law's old favourite chestnut ; Prin ce Teck appeared in an Austrian uniform ; the Duk e of Cambridge being in field marshal's dress ; wh ile the Princess and the Lady in Waiting wore ordi nary riding habits. There are not so many troops at Aldershot as IS usual in the summer season ; but over 6,800 wer e on the ground and nearly a fourth of these wer e cavalry and artillery. The division was formed 011 Eelmore-hill in two lines as early as half-past ten' and the men had an opportunity of speculating whether they were to be broiled or drenched, or both, for the sky promised all of these. Happily' although the troops, no doubt, found it hot enough , the rain kept off, and the sun did not shine scorch ingly, although the little sun that did not shine had its powers multiplied by the fine white sand that lies at the base of the signal hill. The Royal party having inspected the lines took up their position, and the troops marched past, cavalry and artillery in open column at a walk, the infantry in °P ell column at quick time, and the cavalry and horse ar" tillery again at a trot and a gallop. They then re formed on Eelmore-hill. The scheme for the field" day supposed that an enemy had landed on the south coast, and having beaten back previous opposition' was now marching on Aldershot and London. oppose them as they advanced by Farnham and th e west of Beacon-hill and gained shelter in BickleY Copse with an outpost on Miles-hill, a regimentfr onl the right brigade was detached to drive in this out' post ; and at the same time a battery of horse artil lery on the right flank came into action. This move ment being successful, the next effort was made to check the enemy advancing up the valley, an d charge of cavalry served to achieve this purpose; The second and third brigades on the left and t il centre now opened to deploying distance, their f r°llt being covered by skirmishers, an d a very heavy fire from the artillery in th e cen t re o f th e line of defe nce checked the enemy, while the second and third brie gades advanced in line. This movement was frees titularly pleasing to the numerous spectators fr°, the neighbourhood, w ho w e r e kept in order and f r° ' - straggling over the ground by detachments front COI panies not strong enough to take their place in the The first brigade, which opened the ball, having dis s ; lodged the enemy, now changed front, and the /1„,°r1,0 Artillery were sen t i n t o ac ti on on Mil es '-hill• enemy, still resting on a wood, were driven thenc e by a well-directed charge of cavalry. The centre briga."_o now changed front to the left, and advanced into,lleu a with the first brigade. The 2d brigade also Cha n g ss front in the same direction, and a genera l advance ‘, made against the enemy, the right flank of the clise fence being effectually protected by cavalry an d lle , ss artillery. But as the enemy was too strong i t ' s ri , determined to retire to a new position on the ginal front and ground on Eelmore-hill, the ea" ; ; ,f consisting of two regiments of lancers and thr ee w light dragoons, covering the retreat in a very b f. rs t, tiful way. The squadrons retired alternately l op , third, and fifth going to the rear at a hand g i a I nd while second, fourth, and sixth held the groun a, retired in turn, when the other squadrons bad atta faced to the front. Thus Eelmore-hill being re ac 'd without material loss, the division deployed , 3 0 w began file firing, which was maintained. But 1 i o judged necessary to continue the retreat, an" t t ifal brigades again retired, this time by a bee movement in echellon from the left at 60 pac e ' 313 08 ,t terval. All this, clear enough to those who kii , er s the ground, could not be made intelli g ibl e to ot' oy without a plan ; and for these it may suffice t° ag that, except in one cavalry regiment, there not a hitch in the perfection with which the a° o ..`" worked.
