At thi is period, of course, Canada is l oo k ed all th at relates to upon with special interest and the opening of th e third session of the e i ghth ' Par liament will be sure to attract attention. The Governor-General are to have been fully c o g _ nisant of the importance of hi s task, and he acquitted himself very creditably i n t h e remarks which he made. In the fi rs t place, his Excellency adverted to a . very awkward affair, in the outrages that had been committed in the United States, and the per sons who had done so taking refuge in Canada. In pursuing this theme, he gave_ notice that he had organised a system of detective police on the fron tier line,'and also called out a portion of the volunteer force of the province. All these matters seem to have been arranged with discretion and a due regard to the exigencies of the occurrences that called th em forth. The bill laid before the Legis lative Assembly, which purposes to exercise control over refugees, is a very good one, and it is to be hoped that it will reach a satisfactory being able The Gover nor was fortunate in able to inform the Parliament of the zeal and alacrity di s played by the Volunteers in obeying the call to active service. The spirit then and there exhibited well deserved the recognition it received from the Governor, and all will concur in the truth of this passage. " Their conduct shows that the present population of Canada has not degenerated from the manly virtues which characterised the races from which it derives its origin, and that it may be relied on, under all circumstances, to respond to the call of duty." The true English idea of responsibility and the spirit of independence appear to animate these colonists of ours across the Atlantic, and it is a satisfaction to be able to recognise such zeal and devotion under trying circumstances and positions of peril. 'The completion of the codification of the civil law, in both French and English, is sure to be of great service, for, as the Governor remarked, the people can thus read in their own language the civil laws under which they live. Until now this desideratum has been impracticable, which has been a circumstance greatly to be regretted. It is satis factory to find that the " financial legislation" has been successful, and that the revenue has increased, while the trade has extended in a corresponding manner. Amid so many external causes for anxiety, it is particularly fortunate that Canada thus • pro mises to enjoy interest, welfare, and a freedom from the chief causes of domestic annoyance and social misfortunes. The consideration of the Con stitutional problem of British North America was brought forward by his Excellency as a matter of course, and explained in a clear and comprehen sive form. The papers which will be laid before the Legislature will inform them of the result of delibe rations by the meeting specially convened in last October to consider the important subject so vital to the interests of their community. The " cordial approbation" of the Imperial Government was a happy coincidence that the Governor was enabled to impart, and the assurance that her MAJESTY'S Ministers will introduce a Bill into the Imperial Parliament so soon as they find that the various provinces have received the sanction of their Legis latures. In this the Home Government have acted wisely and well, and merit general approval, con trasting as their conduct in this particular does with the imperfect style in which some of their other duties have been performed to English subjects abroad. The Governor wisely concluded his speech by impressing upon his hearers the vast importance of the matter before them, for deliberation, and the mighty issues involved in its decision. It rested with them, he emphatically de clared, to decide whether the vast tract of countr Y should be consolidated into a state, " and thus secure the elements of national greatness, or whether the various provinces should be left isolated and frag mentary, incapable of undertaking their proper share of Imperial responsibility." A better speech in an important crisis could not have been delivered than this one before us, and it is earnestly to be trusted that its wise counsels will influence the assembly to which it was addressed, and that its spirit will pervade their deliberations and animate their endeavours, so that from the strife and chaos darkening and defiling the continent of America, the British possessions may emerge bright and blessed, safe from internal dissensions and secure against foreign attack, through the wise arrange ments made in due time, for the success in danger depends upon foresight no less than upon valour, and the wise and wary will always seek to be pre- I pared. The letter which has been addressed by President DAVIS to some of the Senators of Georgia will be read with very great interest in this country. These gentlemen had written to the President, asking him for an expression of his opinion on a very important matter. A member of the Georgia House of Re presentatives has lately brought forward some re 4olutioneempowering each State to treat separately for peace, a proposition which was strongly opposed by the gentlemen who forwarded this letter. Hear ing afterwards that Mr. DAVIS was favourable to such a scheme, they addressed him directly in order is ascertain the truth. The President's reply, as might have been expected, is distinctly and uncon ditionally opposed to any such measure, but the terms in which it is couched are worth attention. JEFFERSON Davis is fortunate in possessing the gift of addressing the public, whether by word or by letter, and few gifts are more valuable to a states man at a momentous crisis like the present. His language is always correct and well chosen, his meaning clearly expressed, and his sentences to the point. He is, too, generally moderate and courteous in his tone, and seldom inclined to much self-asser tion. Thus, in his letter to the SenatOrs of Georgia, we do not find him expressing either irritation or indignation at the affront to himself and his Go vernment, which is offered by thus setting them completely aside in deciding the great question of peace or war, but he confines himself to explaining less to his immediate audience than to the public at large the evils and even the impossibilities of the plan. With regard to its dangers, he says, " The immediate and inevitable tendency of such distinct action by each State is to create discordant instead of united counsels—to suggest to our enemies the possibility of a dissolution of the Confederacy, and to encourage them by the spectacle of our divisions to more determined and united action against us." The Federals, he adds, would readily believe that some of the Southern States are disposed to abandon the others and to make separate terms of peace for themselves ; and if such a suspicion once gained ground among the people of the Confederacy there would be "an end of that self-reliant and united action which has been the strongest weapon of the people of the South. This, in fact, is one reason why the Northern agents are so ready to foster the idea, and why we always find the Federal generals, in occupying any individual Southern State, address ing its people as wholly self-governing and indepen dent. We find this especially instanced in SIIEP MAN'S address to the Georgians ; but the South erners must be very short-sighted if they do not perceive that there is nothing the Federals are really so unwilling to admit. The sovereignty of the States is the very principle which they refuse to recogni se , since, on that ground, Georgia, Virginia, and Louisiana have as good a right to select to be governed by DAVIS as by LINCOLN. This objection the Southern President thinks would prove fatal to the scheme of separate treaties. H all the States of two hostile federations are to meet in conven tion, such a meeting, he observes, can only take place after a preliminary agreement. Either the decision would be a n of the States must be accepted as final, or no State shall be bound by the result of the de liberation. Nit North has In the former case, such a meeting that it would virtual surrender by the South, since the the advantage in number ; in the latter, amount to a virtual surrender by the North, seeingfthedeeinradeyepe. nrd_e_nece of the several States of the Con absolute recognition of 1 without an perfectly useless.

It is surely better to enter into direct negotiation as to the terms of peace, both parties: laving professed their desire for it. So long as there is the one plain difficulty of the determina tion of ti he South to have a separate and indepen dent exis tence, and the refusal of the North to ad mit that existence, there is not much use in multi plying negotiators and negotiations. The real ob stacle,, as JEFFERSON DAVIS shows in his letter, is not irr the absence of efficient agencies for conclud ing peace, but in the refusal of the North to enter tain any proposal from the South excepting unqua lified submission. The Volunteer demonstration at Stamford the other night was a very interesting one, and exhi bited great spirit in its style. It is long since so animated an affair did honour to the cause, and credit to those connected with it—the members of the Stamford and Fifth Lincolnshire appearing in their new uniforms. Lord BURGHLEY, who took the chair, ably acquitted himself of his duties, and began his remarks in a proper style, by observing that he regretted a " so-called political necessity " had pre vented us from giving any assistance to the country men of the Princess of WALES, hence Austria and Prussia had been allowed to commit " one of the greatest political crimes of modern times." It is quite refreshing to find anyone thus discoursing so sensibly and properly upon the iniquitous occur rences of last year. Lord R. CECIL'S speech was very warmly applauded, and the noble lord did ample justice to his theme, evidently entering into the spirit of it con amore, and believing in the vast importance and great significance of the Volunteer movement in principle and practice. The noble lord very truly observed, that if by any unlucky chance the Volunteer movement came to an end, the influence would be felt in every Court of Europe, and it would exercise a great effect upon every Eu ropean transaction. This is strictly correct, and no one who is any judge of such matters will gain say it for a moment. It is almost incalculable to estimate the good service which this institution has rendered to the country, and lasting honour belongs to those who organised it, and those who carried it by skill and devotion to so great a point of success. The noble lord concluded his interesting speech by observing that, if he had ever had cause to be doubtful of the foreign policy of the land, such a meeting as that would reassure him. He would feel that the honour of the country " was not in the hands of Ministers who might falter, or a Parliament who might be influenced, but in the hands of the people. There is every reason to trust that the conviction that the noble lord had expressed concerning the spirit of the country being as true as ever is a sound one, and that future ge nerations will receive it in trust to hand down to their remote posterity. Sir STAFFORD NORTHCOTE'S observations were also well timed, and admirably adapted to the scene before him and the character of the assembly which he addressed. The right hon. baronet very honestly put the case of the ad vantages of the Volunteer movement, by saying that, in times of emergency, there might be many young men found to defend their country, but they could be of comparatively little use without orga nisation. This must strike all who hear it with its sense and reason, for the greatest zeal and enthu siasm will not meet the advances of regular, disci plined troops, without the requisite concomitants of practice and order. It is in their steady adherence to the tiresome and continuous drilling that the real merit of the Volunteers consists. Many may rush wildly into a scheme, but often get dismayed and disheartened at the labour requisite to carry it to a successful conclusion. No reproaches of this sort can be cast upon the 'Vo lunteers, for they have toiled on through good and evil days, and endured many annoyances before they reached their present proud position, an acknowledged portion of the defences of the country that their own people look upon them with gratitude, and other nations with the respect that springs from fear. it is very satisfactory to meet with so enthu siastic a demonstration as that which took place in Stamford, and it is doubly interesting in consequence of the genuine feeling which accompanied its character and the excellent discourses that were delivered there. rHE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENESG, FEBRUARY 4, 1865. 'I he Oxford Music Hall. Mr. Charles Morton's latest additions to the very strong and talented company at the Oxford cannot but prove highly gratifying to the delighted audi ences that nightly assemble within the noble build ing. Not content with having provided the public with a splendid place of public entertainment, Mr. Morton's desire seems to be to outdistance all his rivals with respect to the excellence of his company. One of the latest and most important additions is M. Lavessiere, the new tenor, a gentleman whose voice and taste at once proves him to be an artiste of great ability. In his opening ballad last even ing, "Far away, where angels dwell," he scarcely did himself justice ; it was nearly a note too high for his natural voice, and although re plete with taste and feeling, yet it did not serve to show his capabilities to the best advantage. The audience, however, were highly pleased with him, and uanimously insisted on an encore, when in place of the ballad he gave a romance, " Christmas," which suited him to admiration. The piece was highly dramatic, and M. Lavessiere, while he proved himself a thorough musician, showed that he pos sessed another great accomplishment. The audience gave vent to their approval in the loudest applause, and before M. Lavessiere was allowed to quit the stage, he had to repeat the romance, which he did with increased effect. He again appeared in the course of the evening in a selection from " Ma saniello," and fully confirmed the good opinion he had secured in the early part of the evening. Another im portant addition is Signor Spagnoli. He sang a very ' beautiful romance with, the most exquisite taste and expression. A young harpist, Miss Besse Delarres, has also been engaged, and last night she delighted the company with a solo, " The last rose of sum mer," with variations. She has been well instructed, and possessed as she is of a firm and vigorous touch, there is nothing to prevent her taking a high posi tion in her profession. The selection from Offen bach's " Orph6e aux Enfers," in which Miss Russell and Mr. Greene sustained the principal parts, is now, as it deserves to be, highly appreciated. It is brimful of melody, and executed by both vocalists and instrumentalists in a masterly manner.

The Royal Mail steamship China, from New York on the 25th ult., arrived at Queenstown at 6 30 a.m. to-day (Feb. 4). She brings 78 passengers and $708,340 in specie. She landed 69 sacks of mails, and proceeded for Liverpool at 7 a.m. All well. The following are the heads of the news brought by the China : NEW YORK, JAN. 25 (Noon). The Confederates have blown up Forts Caswell and Campbell. Admiral Porter's fleet is in Cape Fear River. He thinks he will shortly be in Wilmington. Sherman is still said to be moving on Charleston or Branchville. The Federal expedition has moved within fifteen miles in the rear of Mobile. It is rumoured that Mr. Seward will be appointed Minister to London. The peace negotiations still remain without result. Gold, 2051. General Grant reports that despatches from General Terry announce that the Confederates have blown up and abandoned Forts Caswell and Campbell and the works on Smith's Island, Smith vine, and Reeves' Point. The marines have occu pied those places. The total number of guns cap tured is 162. A despatch from Admiral Porter, dated the I7th inst., states that the gunboats had some difficulty in crossing the bar into the Cape Fear River. The Confederates blew up two steamers believed to be the Chickamauga and the Tallahassee. Admiral Porter thinks the Confederates are burn ing everything in Wilmington, and getting away as fast as possible. A large force of gunboats occupied the river between Fort Caswell and Wilmington. The greater portion of the large vessels have re turned to Hampton Roads. Admiral Porter states that he will move carefully along, and believes he will be in Wilmington before long. He announces that the remainder of the rifled guns in the fleet have burst, and that the reputation of these guns is ruined. Two blockade runners were captured on the 18th in Old Inlet, Wilmington. Their names are un known. A proclamation has been issued by the Comman der of Wilmington requesting absent citizens not to return. He says, if governed by his own inclination and judgment, he will sooner burn Wilmington than let Butler's countrymen occupy it. The Richmond Inquirer, of the 20th, announces that, notwithstanding the rumours of the capture of Wilmington, communication between that city and Richmond is intact. The latest advices from Sherman state that the Confederates, after retreating from Pocataglio, crossed and took up a position on the Combakee River. General Sherman is concentrating his forces at Macphersonville, a few miles from the Combakee River. The Richmond Despatch of the 20th asserts that Sherman has been checked, and will probably be delayed a long time at that river. According to southern accounts, two monitors had been sunk off Charleston. At a meeting of citizens held at Columbia, reso lutions were passed urging the citizens to rally in their defence, and declaring that the evacuation of Charleston would be disastrous to the Confederacy. The Government is also urged to send an adequate force to prevent so great a calamity. Thomas is erecting winter quarters on the Ten nessee River. The indications are that he will not move from his present position. The Richmond Sentinel asserts that Hood's army is in good spirits, and that recruits are compensat ing for the losses in the late campaign. A formidable expedition has left Fort Gaines. Morgan has proceeded up the East Pascagonla River, to within 15 miles in the rear of Mobile. General Forest is concentrating at Houston for an attack on Memphis. Grant has visited Washington to testify to But ler's failure at Wilmington. The question of an exchange of prisoners has been placed in General Grant's hands. It is believed that a general exchange will shortly be effected. The Confederate Senate has passed resolutions creating the rank of Commander-in -Chief of the Confederate Armies, and recommending that Gen. Johnston be reinstated. The House of Representa tives confirmed the resolutions in secret session, and Gen. Johnston has leen reappointed to the command of the Army of the West. The Richmond Examiner states that these resolu tions make Lee Commander-in-Chief. No further reliable information has transpired as to the result of Mr. Blair's mission to Rich mon d. The New York Times places no confide nce i n the success of Mr. Blair's efforts. The Richmond press deprecate idle peace discus sions, and recommend undivided attention to the war. The Richmond Sentinel has. assumed a warlike Resolutions have been introduced in the Wash ington Senate to the effect that no negotiation, concession, or compromise can be entered into with rebels until they manifest unconditional submission to Federal authority. War must continue until submission is secured and the constitution estab lished over the whole of the United States territory. The eonfederate - House of Representatives has unanimously confirmed the resolution to issue an address to the Southern people announcing the determination of Congress to continue the war. Senator Foote has resumed his seat in the Confe derate Congress, and announced that when arrested he was proceeding to Washington to see if pacifica tion could not be effected consistently with the Southern claim to independence. A motion to expel himwas referred to the committee on elections. General Butler has written a letter to Mr. James Brookes, a member of Congress, demanding an ex planation of a speech made by the latter, asserting that a gold robber, in the person of a Major-General, had been sent to New York to control the elections. Mr. Brookes read General Butler's letter to the House of Representatives, re -affirming that Butler was a gold robber, and asserting that his letter was an infringement of the privileges of a member of Congress. The Speaker decided that it was not an infringe ment of privilege. General Butler has addressed a letter to the Speaker, asking 4 committee to investigate his official acts. The Richmond Examiner says that if the South is conquered she would find consolation in assisting to vindicate. the Monroe doctrine and build up a colossal power on the American continent. This object might be obtained if the North recognised Sonthern independence, with an offensive and de - fensive treaty, customs, union of free trade, unin terrupted travel between the States, and the free navigation o the Mississippi. This would give the people the advantages of the old Union without its evils. The policy of both nations would be the Monroe doctrine. The New York Tribune asserts that the impression prevails in diplomatic circles that Mr. Seward has committed ' the Government to the Mexican policy of the Emperor Napoleon. A resolution has been introduced into the Wash ington House of Representatives declaring that the Spanish seizure of the Chincha Islands was part of a Franco-Austrian scheme to subvert the Spanish American Republics. The House has passed a bill reducing the duty on printing paper to 3 per cent. ad valorem. The Canada has arrived out. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, JAN. 25 (Noon). Money easy.

(Per China via Crookhaven.) NEW YORK, Jan. 25. Grant telegraphs the destruction and evacuation of forts Caswell and Campbell, - and the works on Smith's Island, Smithville, and Reeves Point, also the capture of 162 guns. It is rumoured that the Confederates have destroyed all the blockade runners inside the bar, also the Tallahassee and Chickamauga, and set fire to thirty millions of cotton ; the two latter ruinours are not credited. An Alabama paper reports Hood's army in excel lent spirits, and larger than when it entered Middle Tennessee. General Joe Johnston has been re instated in command. The Whig says Hood was relieved at his own request. Beauregard is at Tupel. The Richmond papers are very warlike. The TVhig says there is no thought of yielding or fail ing, but it demands that Congress pass the neces sary army bills without delay. The Inquirer says let peace slide, but should the South be finally con qured Europe will be responsible. It then threatens:to march with the North on Canada, cap ture Cuba, and drive the Emperor Maximilian from Mexico. The article is highly sensational. The Examiner severely condemns all peace pro jects, and says war not peace is the business of the Confederacy, and all talk about peace is irrelevant and senseless. The South is able, at this hour, to put half a million fighting men in the field, and still leave enough for agriculture and manufactures. If Congress cannot do its duty and drop its peace imposture, it should be superseded by a Convention of States. The same paper asserts positively that Secretary Seddon has resigned. The House authorised, by a vote of 43 to 31, the introduction of a bill impressing all cotton and tobacco in the Confederacy on Government account. It has also, in secret session, endorsed by a vote of 62 to 14, the Senate resolutions making Lee Com mander-in-Chief. Mr. Foote reappeared in the House, defined his position and withdrew. He said he endeavoured to go to Washington to make peace. The latest advices from Richmond report an address from Congress, assuring the people of its unalterable determination to continue with all its energy the struggle for independence, and of the final triumph which must crown its efforts. Captain Semmes has reached Richmond after a tour through the South. At a speech in Charlotte he said that despite the reverses Confederate pro spects were still bright. General Thomas with most of his army will re main in the West to watch Confederate movements. The Golden City from San Francisco of the 23d, took 665,000 dollars in gold to Panama for Eng land. The sugar crop of Honduras is enormous. The Richmond Enquirer argues that blockade running has wasted the resources of the South to benefit speculators in England and the United States. The port of Galveston, it says, should be closed to blockade running at once, and not another bale of cotton be permitted to leave the South. The Macon Telegraph advocates the abandonment of all the sea ports of the Confederacy, and concen tration of all forces in the interior. It is doubtful whether Lee will accept the pro posed appointment .of Commander-in-Chief. 72 lives were lost by the blowing up of the iron clad Patapsco, off Charleston. 2,500 bales of Government cotton were recently burnt at Augusta and Hamburg. A correspondent reports 40,000 " contrabands" in Washington, many without food or fuel, and in a perishing condition. Gen. Terry demanded the surrender of Wilming ton on the 19th. Gen. Sherman writes that every point in South Carolina lies at his mercy. . One thousand bales of cotton from Mobile, in exchange for clothing, reached New York yester day. The Savannah cotton is expected daily. Commodore Solmes, commanding the squadron off Mobile, has returned to New Orleans. Gen. Granger made a reconnaisance of East Pas cagoula river, but, finding too many torpedoes, returned. _ A heavily armed floating battery and ironclad lies off Mobile. CANADA. QUEBEC, JAN. 24. The conduct of the Southern refugees in Canada has been denounced in the Canadian Parliament, and a determination has been expressed to stop the abuse of asylum. A commission has been appointed to inquire into the release of the St. Alban's raiders, and the conduct of Judge Coursel, who has been suspended by the Government. The Finance Minister has presented estimates, including a sum of $50,000 to make good the money returned to the St. Alban's raiders, which has been claimed by the United States. The Toronto Leader asserts that the British Go vernment has ordered 30 gunboats from England to the LakeS, as soon as navigation is opened. The Toronto Globe, however, denies the truth of this statement. Burleigh's counsel has moved for a writ of _Habeas Corpus at Toronto. MEXICO. NEW YORK, JAN. 25. Unreliable reports received here via San Fran cisco state that the Mexican Government has ceded Sonora, Sinaloa, Chihuahua, Dorango, and Lower California to the Emperor Napoleon. Ex-Senator Givin, of California, has been ap pointed Viceroy, with the title of Duke. The steamer Golden City sailed from San Fran cisco on the 23d with $600,000 in specie for Eng land and $260,000 for New York. ARRIVAL OF THE BING OF ITALY AT FLORENCE. FLORENCE, FEB. 3; 11 40 r.m. King Victor Emmanuel arrived here at 10 o'clock this evening. The city is illuminated and decorated with flags. A very large number of persons thronged the King's line of route to the Palace, and enthusiasti cally cheered his Majesty. The National Guards are under arms. Shouts were raised of " Viva it Re Galantuomo." On reaching the Palace the King came out on the balcony in response to the acclamations of the people.

FRASER.—A lengthened article on 'our relations with China is the first thing to greet the reader in this number. It enters very fully into Mr. Lay's transactions with the Imperial Government, and is inclined to look with disfavour on that gentleman's arrangements. The paper will interest those who have watched the progress of events in China, though they may not sympathise with all the writer's views. An ar ticle on " Corporal Punishments and Penal Reformation," discusses a question of much social importance, which, like many other vital questions, is many-sided. After con sidering the active opposition that has for some time past been going on to capital punishment, the writer arrives at the conclusion, " that if capital punishment for the worst class of murders b 3 reasoned down, it must be shown, first that the punishment is not dreaded and has no ten dency to deter ; secondly, that some other punishment will deter; and, thirdly, that there is some,teasible mode of reformation by which such criminals can be restored to free citizenship and moral life in society. A state of hope less servitude is a detestable demoralisation." The writer dwells very strongly on the duty and benefit of the pre vention of crime, which he looks upon as more important than the reformation of criminals. Difficult as is that un dertaking, however, the general prevention of crime is equally difficult. It is impossible to remove temptation out of the weak man or woman's way, and certainly the tendency of the day to extravagant expenditure and exces sive display does not lessen it. The Jong neglect of the lowest classes, too, has left us little influence over the men and women of this generation. It is only by training the children that we can hope to do lasting general good, and we may trust that those who come after us may reap the reward of our labours. One thing, however, must be done if we would diminish the attractions of crime. We must make the gaol less pleasant than the workhouse, and cease to treat poverty as the worst possible offence against so ciety. The tale of "Gilbert Rugge" is continued, and we gather some hints of the earlier story. The madman has recovered his reason, and his broken confession to Aunt Laurinda reveals some of Captain Himslow's earlier doings which are little to his credit. " The Story of Saneha, an Egyptian Tale of Four Thousand Years Ago," is the title of a paper that will interest the antiquary. The reader of similar tastes will also be attracted by an article on "Bristo l Churches," which discusses some of the peculiarities of thei r ancient architecture. A. K. H. B. contributes an essay called " The Rest Of It," by which singular title he de signates the concluding reflections properly belonging to his discourse " Concerning Ten Years." It is, perhaps, in consequence a little disjointed, but is well worth reading, nevertheless. BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY.—The editor's romance of " The House of Seven Chimneys," proceeds with interest, and chronicles the adventures that befell the Prince Charles and the Duke during their in cognito journey. The story of "Catharine Cornaro" is continued from the German, and its fair heroine becomes in this number the unwilling Queen of Cyprus. Dudley Costello also proceeds with his narrative of the illus trious career of Signor Tomkins, which, as might be ex pected from its hero's title, is tragi comic in its character. Francis Jacox takes another "cue from Shakspere" respect ing " Postprandial Placability," which, in plainer English, signifies after-dinner benevolence or good humour. A hungry man is seldom a good listener, a ready lender, or an amiable critic ; but after the magic hour his views of things in general are greatly improved. "Noted French Duellists" form the subject of another article, and there are besides other tales, sketches, and poems. COLDURN'S UNITED SERVICE opens with an article on " Courts-Martial," and the impending change in the constitution of that tribunal, of which there is so much need, judging by the recent speci mens of Colonel Crawley and other partial samples. The " Visit to the Court and People of Siam" mani festly improves as it proceeds. The Siamese are a singu lar, and yet a matter-of-fact, sort of people. In the "Curiosities of Naval Literature" we find some old pecu liarities of national character, and some quaint anecdotes. When Admiral Walton lay at Spithead, a nobleman in the neighbourhood sent his gamekeeper with half a fat buck as a present. " Sir George sent back a simple message of thanks, but the keeper begged the steward to inform the admiral that he expected a compliment for himself. 'A compliment for himself,' said the admiral, who was more economical of his money than his powder, 'then he shall have one; go and tell the captain to salute him with five guns when he leaves the ship:" A " Tour in Canada and the Northern States" will be read with interest at this juncture, and so will the " Ameri can Navy." Talk of our Naval Estimates, indeed, as providing "bloated armaments." Look at those of Ame rica for next year—only $112,189,663, or something above £23,000,000 sterling! Shade of Joe Hume; it is well he was not born a Yankee, though he loved a fourpenny piece as much as the Yankee prized the "almighty dollar." How the American conscience stretches beyond the Gulf, and over the broad St. Lawrence. "Oswald Hastings" is continued with unabated interest in its usual lively strain. The "Editor's Portfolio" contains some excellent hits, and among them " Sherard Osborne's pro posed Visit to the North Pole." THE NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE.—AD. Hunga rian's travels in Central Asia form the subject of a readable paper. They extended over a wide range of country, and one - which, from various causes, is little frequented by European travellers—from Te heran across the Turkcoman desert to Khiva, Bokhara, and Samarcand. The traveller at one period of his journey found it advisable to assume the disguise of a Dervish. Ile passed through several trying ordeals with out being detected, but had a narrow escape of discovery from the Afghans of Herat, who took him for an English man. They have some curious traditions respecting the English. A gate of one of their bazaars having passed un hurt through a late siege, is supposed by them to have suffered so little because it was built by the English. It can never, they say, be destroyed, because the English when they build, only lay brick over brick as justice directs, while the Afghans mix the mortar with the tears of oppres sion. Mrs. Bushby's story of " Woodbury" proceeds, but the incidents are painful. The old man dies, his nephew having had more than a share in his death. Alfred Percival gains his end and obtains his uncle's fortune, with what result remains to be .seen. The other story in this serial, " Strathmore," is brought to a conclusion. It is its author's longest and most ambitious work, and its end shows that he has risen above the level of his former fictions. The story ends differently from what the reader was led to think, but its moral is the more impressive if the less ghastly. We have another paper on a geographical ex ploration, in an account of the Desert of Gobi, or the Siberian overland route from Pekin to St. Petersburg. Russia, it is said, is anxious to open communication with Pekin by roads and ways in waiting for railroads. " Forbear to Judge" is one of the best of Francis Jacox's miscellaneous essays ; and there are, besides a criticism on Browning's new volume of poems, and a further instalment of Alex ander Andrew's Cotton Possibilities. THE VICTORIA MAGAZINE.—This interesting serial keeps up with spirit and shows no diminution of its attractions or flagging of its zeal. An essay on Walter Savage Landor does full justice to the venerable and lamented writer's abilities. The extracts from his " Imagmery Conversations" give fair samples of the best known of his works. The sym pathisers with the sufferings of Poland will be much interested in the account of Emilie Plater, the Polish Joan D'Arc, whose career reads like a romance, although the heroic patriotism of Polish women has long been justly famous. " The Manufacture of Wearing Apparel" is the title of a plper which treats of the great social problem of the employment of female apprentices in needlework. The writer, who enters very fairly into the subject, shows the difficulties under which the employers labour, and con siders that the only solution is the regulation of such establishments by Act of Parliament. A dressmaker said on this point that if she refused to execute an order the lady thought her disobliging, and went to her neighbour ; but if all were under the same rule no offence could be given. A gentleman connected with Messrs. Swan and Edgar's establishment declared that in his opinion the best thing for all parties would be a strict factory law to limit the hours of work. It is strange that so simple a remedy has never yet been tried. " Among the Black Boys" is a tale giving an interesting account of an attempt to civilise some young Australian aboriginees. THE BRITISH ARMY AND NAVY REVIEW.—The second instalment of the sketch of Dumouriez's eventful career, by Ouida, is equal in interest to the first chapter. The stirring days of the great 0 French Revolution are never exha,usted, and til life of so prominent an actor, he of whom jadanl ille Roland said to her husband "II s era it ton maitre," is° ; significant biography. It is to be completed in the nes _ part. Strange to say, in this number we have no pa per e. , a article on the American war, whose episodes one Welll think are sufficiently interesting to milita r y read ire Though the romances of the present day overlooked, however, wo are carried back to th e roraa l n. t' e ° of the past in No. 5 of "Celebrated Trials connected 'ar the Army and Navy," which records the memorable nnitinY • fol of the Bounty and the p er il s o f C a pt a in Bligh and ills e ° u lowers. The two pri n cip a l p a p ers in the number arth "Our Naval Defences," and " Our Military System," our subjects of ext reme i m p or t ance an d c l os ely concerning by national welfare. They are treated at some length Re writers who have evidently studi e d their subjects, all' commend them to the notice and c ons ideration of th e readt , THE JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE. NO. 8 7 .

THE MISCELLANEOUS - MACAULAT, Part 11. (Longman and Co.) — completes half of this compact People's Eut - e d The contents of the second instalment, here i s s il with the February Magazine, are, for the m ost po. l political, philosophical, logical, and statistical of their character. They include among them the e l°s : the Essay on History , the whole of the criticism o °P ';:t, it very subtle, indeed) on Mills's Essay on Govern:ii the whole, likewise, of the slaughtering review of S a ; e y Law of Population, and the commencement of the ''' b i on Mirabeau.

MR. ROMFORD'S HOUNDS. Part X.—Th is 11 1 ; ber is very exciting, and presents some most foisult scenes to our notice.
