PARLIAMENTARY NOTICES, 1866• *,-* Arrangements have been made, according to annual custom, for the reception of Parliamentary Notices—intended to be inserted in " TIIE SUX"— up to the Latest Hour possible on the Evening of Saturday next, the 17th inst. " THE SUN" OFFICE, 112, Strand. LONDON, WEDENSDAY, NOV. 14, 1866. "NI We are not likely to hear the last of the Reform question for some time, but we have gained one thing by tie prolongation of the discussion. The common-place arguments on both sides are ex hausted, even party vituperation has inevitably cooled down, and men are driven to study the ques tion.on broad constitutional and historical grounds if they wound find anything to say that is likely to command attention and be worth listeninr , to. A student of the subject, writing to a contemporary, has thought it a good opportunity to reconsider the whole question, and more especially to examine the great Reform Bill of 1832, and discover if possible what were its defects and shortcomin gs . Being something of a Tory in his views, it does not, of course, take him long to discover that the Bill left the influence of the Whigs very greatly in the ascendant, and kindly overlooked certain boroughs in which the landlord was (professedly) Liberal in his politics. The Tories of that day, however, had themselves to thank for being so completely outwitted, since their obstinate opposi tion to the much-needed measure prevented them from exercising any influence upon it, It was carried in defiance of them, not with their help and assistance, and they could rot conse quently expect much mercy at the hands of the Re formers. This has always been the great difficulty in dealing with a matter which ought to be entirely indeuenclent of party considerations. An amend ment of the Constitution under which we all live is a national matter, and if our politicians were half as candid and disinterested as they appear in their speeches, it would be dealt with in a national spirit. If the object be to secure a fair representation for all classes of the community, it ought not to be so very difficult to apportion the franchise. If our aim be to secure purity of election, we should attain it in any other department of life by trying plan after plan till we succeeded. If, however, the question at issue be merely whether one set of men or another shall sit on the Treasury lynches the mistakes of 1832 are only too likely to be repeated in 1857, or whatever year a Reform Bill really passes. The intelligence brought from our Australian colonies by the recent mail is, on the whole, satis factory. They are principally ocCupied, in the ar rangement of their internal policy and matters of domestic administration. In Melbourne the com mercial circles were still feeling the effects of the London panic in the spring, and the interest of money was 10 and 12 per cent. Mercantile men in Australia complain that their bankers are too timid, and keep too much of their money locked up in securities not readily convertible. This fault cannot certainly' be charged against our English bankers, who have recently been subjected to severe strictures for not being cautious enough. It is a singular charge to bring against a young community not generally remark able for want of progress. The• Queensland Go vernment, however, are going to set the mother country herself a good example. They are going to issue :Treasury notes, being the first attempt in Australia at the issue of Government paper cur rency. The Radical party strongly uphold the principle as an economical method of using the public credit. Old financiers indeed are ready with discount prophecies, but the Queensland authorities are wise enough to remem ber the awful prognostications respecting the Ame rican greenbacks, which have found their fulfilment in the rapid reduction of the NUtional Debt of the States. Ihe agricultural prospects of the season are said to be tolerable, though the farmers are complaining of a lack of rain. Certainly their fellows on this side of the equator have had no such cause for Ilament. Possibly we have had our own share and that of the Antipodes as well. The gold fields of New Zealand are increasing in importance, and a return recently published of the gold exported from the various ports of that colony during the twelvemonth, from the Ist of April, 1865 to the 31st of March, 1866, gives a total of 674,4990 z., which at £4 an ounce gives £2,697,996. So greatly have the New Zealand diggings risen in public estimation that the diggers now often divide the year between Victoria and Auckland, taking the one for the winter, and the other for the summer. Altogether the prospects of Australia and New Zealand are favourable, and give promise of rapid development. It will be with great satisfaction that the public will learn that our authorities believe the time to have now arrived for substituting a form of thanks giving for the prayer now used in our churches and chapels for the removal of the cholera and the cattle plague. The two visitations which have both been severely felt by the poorer classes have dimi nished in severity about the same time, although the cattle plague is of much longer standing than the cholera. The mortality from the two forms of the epidemic is still indeed higher than is quite satisfac tory in the middle of November, being 100 in the week ending on Saturday, and 101 the week before. Still the deaths exhibit a regular decrease in the last five weeks, being 254, 199, 144, 101, and 300. The principal proportion of the recent mortality has been due to the outbreak at Woolwich, :where 73 persons have died in three weeks. This sudden development of the disease is attributed by the Registrar-General to the insufficient water supply, the dirty and dilapidated condition of the houses of the labouring classes, and the unhealthiness of their sites. He adds—" The question of the sites of dwellings for the working classes is one of the most pressing, and will no doubt obtain the attention of her MAJESTY'S Government." The alarm caused by the cholera will, we may hope, do good in this respect; for all that our sanitary reformers have urged upon indif ferent or unwilling listeners during several years has been powerfully enforced by a teacher whom none can contradict. We have much cause to he thankful for the rapid diminution of what threatened to be a severe attack of the dreaded epidemic, but at the same time we have no cause to indulge in over confidence. The winter months will no doubt keep the enemy at bay, but there will be much need for caution and energy if we are to avoid an outbreak in the spring. The condition of many of our poorer districts is a disgrace to the country, since, if legislation does not touch the evil, it ought to do so; while the water supply is a matter which is under some definite con trol, and should certainly be a little more adequate to the needs of our enormous and ever-increasing population. It is a scandalous thing that in many of our poor and populous districts the water only comes into the house for 20 minutes or half-an-hour in the day, during which time all that is wanted for use must be caught in tubs and pails for lack of proper reservoirs. It is very well to preach about cleanli ness and order, but so long as the poor are put to shifts like this it is not likely that our exhortations will have much effect. The lesson to be learnt by London must also be studied by the other great cities, for cholera still lingers in Dublin, Edinburgh, and Liverpool. Bad water, insufficient drainage, and overcrowding are three prime elements in the condition of things which invites the enemy to our doors, and so surely as w e neglect ourplainand manifest duty in instituting tle necessary social and sanitary reforms, so surely shall we suffer from negligence when the warm weather returns, and with it the liability to epidemic disease. The opening of the Belgian Chambers e ceremony. er o e k m p o l n a y. ee yesterday, and the KING officiated at the A particular interest seems to attach itself m to many kingdom just now in consequence of rumours that have been afloat lately. The KING declared that all the relations with Foreign Powers were of a friendly character, and that in the midst of the " great events which have disturbed a part of Europe, Belgium has remained calm and con fident, deeply impressed with the rights and duties of neutrality." In fact the little-kingdom has been a model to larger and more powerful States during the confusions that have lately arisen ou the Continent, and we may well say that the Belgians have en joyed far more liberty and real indepenlence than many more pretentious people have done. The KING said that they would continue to preserve the same neutrality for the future, and that they could carry on affairs with "sincerity, loyalty, and strength." All those who clearly comprehend the Miss `THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENINTr, NoVEMBER 14, 1866. 16•••••••• politics of Europe must sympathise with the young KING in his trying position. He has, indeed, succeeded to power at a time fraught with danger and difficulty, but he set was to have learned lessons of wisdom in his Bier career, and to be ready to emulate the pru de at course of his father. %Ve may compare the mtanimity that prevails in Belgium with the very congenial feelings that are met with in the Berlin Chambers, and this in itself is a source of strength to the one, and of weakness to the other. The KING impressively said, in conclusion, that to " accom plish the tasks of Government it would be necessary that they should have the loyal concurrence of the Chambers, and he hoped that all hearts at the be ginting of this new reign would remain united in the love of our country and its institutions." IVe trust that success will attend the course of this Session of the Belgian Chambers, and that no ad verse circumstance will arise to mar the present pros perity of the kingdom. The Danish Chambers have also been opened this week, and here we have another instance of a small kingdom struggling to preserve itself intact in the midst of strife and broils. King CHRISTIAN could at any rate meet the representatives with a better grace than last year, since the marriage of his daughter with the Russian Prince has tended to strengthen his alliance in that important direction. Denmark, his MAJESTY ob served, had not been unaffected by the political events that had lately taken place in Europe. The Treaty of Peace, which had been concluded in Prague, stipulated that North Schleswig should be restored to Denmark, provided the will of the popu lation was in favour of such a proceeding ; and though this has not been carried out, there are many indications that the national privileges will be secured to the country. Profound gratitude was expressed in the Royal Speech towards the Emperor NAPOLEON, in consequence of the earnest efforts that he has made to further the interests of Den mark, and especially to enable her to realise her hopes respecting the boundary question, hopes which have actuated and animated the Danes ever since the Treaty of Vienna. Attention is being given to the defence of the kingdom, and more espe cially with respect to fire-arms, that are being now placed on an improved footing ; and, according to the explanations given in the Royal Speech there seems to be no doubt that the financial con dition of the country will cause no apprehension. Denmark has recovered itself far more quickly than might have been supposed possible two years ago ; and we hope that its present quiescent aspect will not be changed for one of a more worthless cha racter, for it will be a ruinous policy to adopt, or to allow to be adopted, that small states and king doms should be swallowed up by larger ones ; and we do not believe that such a consummation will be tolerated by the good sense and right feeling of those nations of Europe which are indignant at what has already occurred. Mr. WALPOLE does not seem likely to have a very easy time of it at the Home-office, if we are to judge from what has already taken place in several directions. He had a vast amount of trouble in his intercourse with Mr. BEALES and his friends, and was alternately twitted and censured for going too far, and for recognising them as a " belligerent power." However, the good sense and great moderation of the Home Secretary triumphed over these obstacles, and so we trust they will over the very awkward matter of theTrades' Unions. Yester day a deputation waited on the right hon. gentle man at the Home-office, in reference to the New Hereford-street outrage in Sheffield. It was intro duced by Mr. ROEBUCK and Mr. HADFIELD, and consisted of the most influential members of the Sheffield community. We do not wonder that these gentlemen should have consi dered it necessary to do something in this matter which has engaged the attention of the public, and caused so much disquietude in the town where the outrage occurred. It is indeed time that some de cisive steps were taken to discover the causes which lead to these outbreaks, and to prevent their re currence as much as possible for the future. It is a subject which concerns the whole country, for it is impossible to say which town shall not be the scene of some similar outrage. It is satisfactory to learn that in all directions the most earnest and energetic efforts have been made in order to dis cover the perpetrators of the offence ; and if their work in this instance should not be crowned with success, at any rate we may with good reason be lieve that the determination now shown may serve to deter others from following so per nicious a practice. It has been the case with these trades'-union outrages, as with many other things of a like character, the offenders have so often escaped with impunity that they have gone too far ; and now that the special attention of Go vernment has been called to an individual case, and the chief persons of the town have taken up the matter, no doubt the disgraceful habit will be put a stop to.. The course it is at once and for ever the better for all classes of the community, but more especially the working men, upon whom it casts great discredit, and it rests with the really inde pendent clubs among them to discountenance it to the utmost of their power. TIIE ALMANACKS FOR 1867—are beginning to crowd upon us. Several of them we have already mentioned ; others have since then dropped in. Here, among the latest comers in this way, for ex ample, are—Bow Bells' Alinc - tnacic, plentifully illus trated with full-page engravings, some of _them clever and the whole publication sixpence ; Old Jonathan's iiintanack, a penny broad-sleet, margined with old woodcuts ; and, best of all in the way of affording its purchasers valuable and reliable and instantly referable information of a practical kind, is M'Corquodale and Co.'s-ad mirable Railway Alntanack. The only error that we have been able to detect in which, is the supple menting to the direction of our own offices, of the initials for a wrong postal district. THE LATE COL. STODARE.—It is understood that Madame Stodare, widow of the late Col. Stodaro, will re open the theatre of mystery, Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly, in the course of a few days—having been solicited again to appear before the public. THE FORTHCOMING REFORM BANQUET AT MAN CHESTER.—We understand that the banquet committee are making rapid progress with the numerous arrangeme nts necessary for the banquet. Th e l arge hall is to deco rated, and the drawing-room, l ea di ng out of the ladies' refreshment-room, is to be carpeted, furnished with otto mans, &c., and rendered quite a comfortable lounge for the ladies. All the entrances and stairs will bo carpeted, and profusely adorned with plants of various descriptions, and placards giving directions how to proceed to the various parts of tho building will be posted in conspicuous places. The exterior of the building will be brilliantly illuminated with the oxygen light, which, besides being in itself an attraction, will groatly facilitate the preserving of order during the arrival and departure of the public. It is in tended in a day or two to advertise a list of complete in structions to ticket holders in reference to their respective doors at which they will be admitted, with all other ar rangements.—Manchester Guardian. MADONNA MARY. By Mrs. Oliphant. 3 vols.—. " Madonna Mary' is a story told with exquisite simplicity and beauty. Few living writers have the keen perception of human nature which Mrs. Oliphant possesses, and fewer still know how to give expression to what they know, feel, or observe as well as she does. These attributes are splen didly exemplified in Madonna Mary.' There are through out the book many fine studies of character and much of that realism which has iu it poetry of the highest order. In 'Madonna Mary' Mrs. Oliphant has added another to her many literary laurels. The book is honest in senti ment, healthy in tone, and full of the deepest interest"— Star. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Tuesday Evening. The news of the day consists rather of contradic tions than facts. Thus the report of a serious in surrection at Barcelona, which has been in circula tion at Paris for several days, is contradicted. The statement of another paper, relative to the Pope, also turns out to be untrue. Indeed few person, believed it. The allegation was that the evacuation of Rome by the French troops would not take place until some arrangement had been made relative to the Pontifical debt. It is again repeated, how ever, on authority that the Convention of the 15th September will be formally, faithfully, and strictly carried out by both the contending parties. The Convention does not contain any stipulation in regard to the Papal debt. There will, however be a speedy arrangement respecting this mati.3r. The Italie has authority to declare that even should there be some delay the French troops will, never theless, leave Rome at the time appointed. Another contradiction, which comes from Berlin, is in reference to the statement that the Prussian Ministry at a Cabinet Council held on the 7th inst. had agreed to a project of Federal Reform destined to serve as the basis of the delibeiations of the Northern States. The Government has received despatches from Constantinople, dated Saturday, which states that after the submission of the Spakiotes and the chiefs of the Candiau insurrection, the Commissary-Ge neral of the Sultan, Moustapha Pasha, had pub lished a general amnesty for the compromised Cretans, and also declared that the rebel chiefs and the foreigners who would not submit might leave the island freely. The Imperial Commission of the Great Exhibi tion has decided that the banks of the Seine shall be connected by two tunnels in the Champ de Mars. By this means the banks will form part of the park, and the visitors who arrive from the interior of Paris, or from the field of exercises at Billacohrt, will be able to land in the circle of the building. The banks of the Quai d'Orsay will thus constitute the real port of the Champ de Mars, and will pre sent a new spectacle for Paris. This combination will give time for the preparation of maritime ma chines of a naval character. Two places have been especially reserved for restaurants. A frightful accident has taken place at the village of Guipereux, in the department of Seine-et-Oise. A conjuror has obtained permission to give a per formance of magic at a wine-shop in an upper room, which was usually devoted to dancing. A great number of persons were present. A cracking noise was suddenly heard, which however did not create any alarm, because it was supposed to be connected with the performances. The ceiling, however, gave way almost immediately, and more than sixty per sons were precipitated below. Assistance was ob tained without delay, and fifteen persons were res cued who had received serious injuries. Three women were taken out quite dead. One of them leaves several children. The Algiers papers give an account of a terrible storm which broke out at Mostaganem on the Ist of November, which caused great devastation in the town. Many houses fell in ruins, workshops were carried away, and three, persons were killed. Pro perty to au immense value was destroyed. _ The death is announced of Baron d'Hedlincourt, Deputy for the Pas de Calais ; also of Baron de la Roche-Lacarelle, author of a history of Beaujolais. The Abbe Laurence, Vicar-General of Tarbes, has just died very suddenly from apoplexy. The prize to be awarded by the Academy of Fine Arts for the year 1867 will be for the dissertation showing the degree of influence exercised by the fine arts upon national and political feeling, morals, religion, philosophy, and science. The author is to discuss to what extent the most eminent artists have proved themselves to be dependent upon or free from that influence. There was a very violent storm last night in the vicinity of Paris, which has nearly stripped all the leaves from the trees. -Large branches have been broken off in some localities. To-day it has been rather strong, but excessively warm and agreeable for the season. The Parisians have preferred to sit outside rather than inside the cafes. The Boule vards had an aspect of summer rather than winter. The Gazette de France gives a letter from a pas senger who was on board the Fairy Vision, an English vessel of 800 tons, which has performed the voyage between London, Marseilles, Gibraltar, and Lisbon. He embarked on the 15th of October at Lisbon. On the 20th the vessel was near Mar seilles, and the captain (Lieut. Ewen) announced that they would reach that port in the evening. A storm arose, however, and the sailors took possession of the wine and spirits ; and, according to the ac count of this passenger, commenced a brutal orgie, and abandoned the vessel to herself. The writer and other passengers were put on board one of the ship's boats and were safely landed at the Isle of Camargue, 30 miles to the west of Marseilles. The captain had mistaken the light of Faraman, which is a firstlclass fixed light, for that of Flanier, which is a movable light. The vessel was entirely lost, but as far as can be gathered from the rather confused and excited account of the writer all on board were saved. The Fairy Vision was a fine new boat, built at Glasgow in 18(i5. Every assistance was given by the autho rities to the shipwrecked crew. One of the papers states that a great sensation has been created in the financial world by the sud den withdrawal from the Bank of France of the sum of between 11 and 12 millions of francs, placed there to the account of a Russian banker. Within a few days past steam power instead of horses is employed to tow boats on canals. A loco motive has just towed two large boats by canal from Compiegne to Paris. The railway line from Figeac to Aurillac, on the Orleans Railway, has just been opened. The line is to be prolonged to Brionde, in the Department of the Upper Loire, and it will thus be connected with the Lyons Railway. The section now opened com prises fourteen stations. - Great preparations are in progress at Florence to celebrate with solemnity the return of the King of Italy to his capital, which, it is supposed, will take place about the 20th inst. A pious and interesting ceremony took place last week at St. A übin-sur-Gaillon—the removal of the remains of Marmontel from a private tomb to the cemetery of the commune. The memory of the author of " Corites Moraux," the " Cours de Litterature," and other esteemed works, has ever been held in veneration. During the Reign of Terror Marmontel fled from Paris, and took refuge at the hamlet of Habloville, where he had purchased a little estate, and where he lived in retirement until 1797. At the ensuing elections he was chosen as representative of the arrondisse ment of Evreux ; but the elections having been de clared void, he returned to Habloville, where he died Dec. 31, 1799, and according to his wish was buried in his own garden. The tomb erected there to his memory was often visited with interest. The monument having fallen into decay, and the pro perty having changed hands, the municipal autho rities of St. Aubin offered to the descendants of Marmontel to provide for the remains of the cele brated writer a grave in perpetuity in the cemetery of Hobloville. The family having accepted the offer, the remains were exhumed and deposited in the cemetery with the accustomed ceremonial. The leaden coffin which contained them was in a state of per fect preservation. It was enclosed in another coffin of cak. There was a numerous procession headed by the clergy of St. Aubin. The Abeille Cauchoise states that a young man of 20, residing near Yvetot, has been in a state of pro found sleep for three weeks. Every day gruel and a little wine are pou re d d o wn his throat. His res piration and pulse are regular. It is stated that about three years ago he slept for a fortnight. General Fleury, aide-de-camp to the Emperor, is about to leave Paris for Florence, where he will re present his Majesty at the grand fetes to be given on the occasion of the return of the King of Italy to his capital after his visit to the provinces. The health of the Empress of Mexico is said to be so much improved that there is no longer any anxiety respecting her Majesty. L &TEST INTEL LIG ENUF. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) AMERICA.

General Grant visited Baltimore on Thursday, where an additional force of regular troops had been sent. The Governor of Georgia, in his message to the Legislature, opposes the constitutional amendment. The Boston Republicans have nominated two negroes as candidates for the Legislature.

Hitherto I have laboured without result, but I have not yet given up all hope." The Royal rescript which will be communicated to the Hungarian Diet is said to be of a concilia tory character, although it demands that matters relative to the army, the public debt, and indirect taxation, shall be considered as common affairs. ITALY. FLORENCE, Nov. 14. The King will set out to-day on a visiting tour in the Venetian provinces. It is stated that the Parliament will assemble after the 11th of December.

This neutrality she will continue to preserve in the future, as she has done in the past, with sincerity, loyalty, and strength." (Loud cheers.) The King then announced several bills which will be laid before the Chambers iu reference to the abolition of imprisonment for debt, the amendment of the laws on the detention of prisoners while under accusation, the extradition laws, and the re moval of the restrictions on the manufacture of articles of gold and silver.

" Marling North" is the commencement of a new tale that seems likely to be very mysterious. It certainly opens in a pecu liarly melancholy strain. " Fast and Loose" is a long story, commencing better than it ends; it is well written and certain phases of society are well described ; but no interest attaches itself to either hero or heroine, for she is most mean and cunning, while he is quite undeserving of regard. " The Old Story " is a repetition of the fatal error of putting gold first in the scale of happiness. It is told iu verse, and is effective in its style and cha racter. " Charlie Carew" is continued, and the story of "Slain by a Tar" is curious enough in its way. "Up and Down London Streets" concludes its most edifying reminiscences in this number, and this will no doubt be regretted by many who have wandeied through the City of olden days in com pany with so excellent a guide to point out wonders and to illustrate the picturesque. " The Old Bailey" presents us with a good account of that spot, so rife with associations of not the most pleasing kind, and the illustrations are very effective. " Grammar Gone Mad, or Beginning at the Wrong End," is an essay that contains some truths worthy of notice, and no doubt there is a good deal of sense in the remarks here met with. " The Common sense of Good Dinners" may be very serviceable to ladies who have been attempting too much with small means, and thus making themselves ridiculous and their guests uncomfortable. " Good Laws" is a suggestive sketch, that is carried on in an enter taining manner, but perhaps what are called roman tic notions are rather too much put in the back ground, while commonsense is put too prominent. " Heavy Baggage," and the " Move of the Regi ment," is a very entertaining reminiscence of some military adventures. " Artists' Notes from Choice Pictures" is a very interesting sketch, and " Choos ing the Wedding Gown" is an illustration that will be likely to attract notice, if only on account of the strange manner in which the ceremony is per f orr•R*d. THE ARGOSY.—" Griffith Gaunt" is finished in this number ; and, all things taken into considera tion, it ends in a satisfactory manner. The descrip tions of the trial are told most impressively. " The Lead Melting" is a pretty little sketch in verse, with an illustration. " Mrs. Laurie's Little Dinner Party, and why it Failed," is an amusing sketch. " Children and Children's Books" is a suggestive paper ; and various other articles are in terspersed in these pages, which affords instruction or interest, as the case may be. THE ENGLISHWOMAN'S REVIEW. NO. I—This new serial, which is to be " a journal of woman's work," is designed to fill the place vacated by the Englishwoman's Journal, and to discuss the ques tions of the day concerning women in all their various aspects. The two principal subjects treated of in this opening number are discussed with temper and fair ness—they aro the extension of the franchise to female householders, and the scarcity of good maid servants. We commend the article on the latter to the attention of those chatelaines, who, in their eagerness for a share in more ambitious duties, forget the responsibilities which devolve upon the mistress of a household in caring for the bodies and souls of the young girls committed to her charge. The extracts given from public journals on the sever a l questions of the day include all opinions, and augur well for the spirit in which the journal is edited. THE POPULAR SCIENCE REVIEW. O. 21. Ha r d_ wieke, Piccadilly.—The October number of this valuable quarterly completes the fifth volume, and shows no lack of interest or of information. The first paper to which the reader will probably turn is one by Professor Foster, " On the Electrical Prin ciples of the Atlantic Telegraph." The writer enters of course upon the scientific difficulties of the question, but ho does not demand much abstruse learning on the part of his reader, neither is his essay encumbered by technicali ties. The plate affords a good idea of the processes de scribed, and it is gratifying to learn that, according to calculation, the speaking power of the two cables now in use is from twice to three times as great as that of 1858. This is a matter of considerable importance in a money point of view, since, as is justly observed, the rate at which signals can be transmitted through a cable is the point which most directly bears upon the commercial suc cess of submarine telegraphy. " When it is remembered that each word of a message represents on an average 1G signals sent and received, it will be understood at once that a very small diminution in the time occupied by a single signal is equivalent to a considerable increase in the speaking power' of the cable, while if once a telegraph cable is fully charged with messages its speaking power is only another name for its money-earning power." The second part of Mr. Proctor's essay, " How to Work with the Telescope," conveys some useful hints to the amateur astronomer. Dr. Lankester contributes the opening article " On the Movements of the Diatomaceie," which examines into the mysteries of the border land between animal and vegetable life. Among the remaining articles wo must notice a chapter on " Aerolites," by T. M. Hall, and an in teresting paper on the "Bone Caverns of Gibraltar, Malta, and Sicily," by A. Leith Adams. The Reviews and the Scientific Summary include the principal topics of the quarter. GOOD WORDS. Mrs. Oliphant's story of " Madonna Mary" proceeds more rapidly in this number. The characters are sketched with all the authoress's wonted care and fidelity to nature, and the plot, if not altogether pleasing, is original. There are several excellent papers among them, one by the editor, "Son, Remember," an account of "Ice Caves of Annecy," an article on "The Deformed and the Stricken," by Matthew Browne, and a pleasant little sketch called " Bridget Dalby's Charg'," showing the wonders worked by a In'ay. THE DAY OF REST.—A new story, with a tem perance moral, occupies a prominent place. It is entitled " Ellen's Triumph," and begins in this number. " About Proverbs," " The Royal Pull at the Bell," " Mount Zion and the Jews," are among the best of the papers. The Picture Gallery presents us with a graphic illustration of the Grand Canal, Venice. CHRISTIAN SOCIETY. No. 2.—This is another of the serials which are influenced by a generally religious spirit, though not devoted to the interests of any particular denomination. " Heirlooms of Christian Art," and " In the City on a Sunday Morning," are among the most noticeable papers. THE SUNDAY MAZAGINE.—There is as usual an agreeable and profitable variety to be met with in this magazine, which, moreover, possesses the great recommendations of good type and paper, making it very suitablefor the aged or feeble. THE ECLECTIC.—The Eclectic this month has several interesting papers. The first is on English Paintings, well worth reading. The one which follows is on Vote by Ballot, which we are sorry to see the Eclectic opposing. .‘-‘ Fictions for Family Reading," and a chapter on Mr. Jesse's book on " Dogs," will supply pleasant en tertainment. BELGRAVIA. A Magazine of Fashion and Amusement.—This is the second number of this magazine, which has no connection with Miss Braddon's new serial. It is of the usual character of miscellaneous light literature, and has several illustrations. THE INTELLECTUAL 0 B SERVER. —Several topics of importance are discussed in this number, among them the advantages and disadvantages of iron and steel in the construction of ships and bridges. Dr. Mann sup plies an account of the wild Kaffirs, and Mr. Gosse has an account of a new rotiferon. JOURNAL OF THE INSTITUTE OF ACTUARIES. —This magazine is entirely devoted, as its name implies, to questions connected with the principles and practice of in surance, and is likely to be very serviceable from its com prehensive study of the subject. NATURE AND ART.—This really beautiful serial keeps up the promise of its earlier numbers, and fully maintains the reputation of Messrs. Day and Son for skill and taste in every department of lithography. THE FLORAL WORLD.—Amateur gardening is now so much the fashion that this little serial can hardly fail to find a welcome. BOUGHT AND SOLD.—" I bought you, and I'll sell you," was the indignant but not very honourable reply of an Irish member to the remonstrances of his disap pointed constituents ; and lam afraid that, though not exactly avowed in words, it is with a feeling of such con tempt certain representatives must regard the opinions of their supporters.—Blackwood's Magazine for November. At the head police-office, Dublin, on Monday, Peter Donnelly was charged with a breach of the peace, by hissing at his Grace the Archbishop of Dublin as he was leaving St. Mark's Church on the previous (lay. It appeared that at the conclusion of the service, Dr. Trench passed by a group of young mon, some of whom began to hiss, and the defendant, who was one of their number, was immediately arrested by Superintendent Campbell. For the defence witnesses were called, who deposed that Do nelly took uo part whatever in the demonstration against his grace ; that he was a member of the established church and a youth of good character. The defendant was dis charged on finding bail fox his future peaceable conduct. HER MAJESTY, &c• WINDSOR CASTLE, Tuesday. The Queen drove out yesterday afternoon, ac companied by her Royal Highness Princess Louise. Her Majesty, with their Royal Highnesses Prince and Princess Christian, walked and drove this morn ing in the Home Park. His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh went to London to-day, attended by Lieutenant Haig. The Countess of Caledon has succeeded Vis countess Jocelyn as Lady in Waiting to her Ma jesty. VISIT OF THE PRINCESS OF WALES TO 11E11' MAJESTY. Yesterday evening her Royal Highness the Prin cess of Wales, accompanied by her two infant chil dren, arrived at Windsor by special train on the South-Western Railway, attended by Gen. KnollPs and several ladies of her suite. The special train left Kew Junction at 5 27 p.m., under the charge of Mr. Williams and other officials of the line, Several of the Royal carriages being in readiness at the station, the Royal party immediately pro ceeded through the town to the Castle. On the platform were many ladies and gentlemen to witness the arrival of her Royal Highness. rt= , .. ; s0 t' ff u r t , oitr, Circular. Artemus Ward, This gentleman last evening made his first appearance as a public entertainer at the Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly, and an overflowing audience assembled to give him hearty welcome. The new entertainment is called "Life Among the Mormons ;" and although it lasted but a few minutes over an hour—on the principle, we presume; that brevity is the soul of wit—it resulted in a great and per" feet success. Mr. Browne, or, speaking of him under his nom de plume, " Artemus Ward," has become familiar in England in consequence of his humorous writings, which have front time to time been received with such pleasure iu this coun try ; and this circumstance, taken in connection with the reputation he has achieved in America, filled his lecture room last evening to excess. The programme was written in a comic vein, and it commenced by stating that Dir. Artemus Ward would call on any of the citizens of Lon don and explain any jokes in his narrative which they may not understand. It also stated that the panorama used to illustrate the lecture was rather worse than panoramas usually are, but it was amply sufficient to give a very vivid idea of the distant region of the Great Salt Lake City—the stronghold of the Mormons. Artemus Ward commenced by showing the steamer he travelled in in a portion of in° journey to Utah, but advised his audience not to select it provided they felt disposed to undertake the voyage, be cause " She was'at a good'un." Arriving in the Land of Gold, he gives a laughable description of the streets 0 San Francisco, and then he proceeds to the great Desert; and this crossed we have a bird's-eye view of the Great Salt Lake City, and here Artemus gives a little serious talk touching the Mormons. At the principal hotel in Main-street, he informs us, the landlord sells nothing stronger than butter, and then h ° proceeds to detail his interview with Brigham Young, chief of the Mormons, and his wives. The got" mon's religion, he told his audience, was singular, but has wives plural, and without affecting any virtuous indigna tion, Artemus Ward denounced that as a scandal and ° disgrace. At Utah they have a theatre, and in order that a notion may be formed of their style of performance, w° give the following sly bit of raillery from the printed pro gramme :—" The Lady of Lyons' was produced here 3 short time since, but failed to satisfy a Mormon audience , on account of there being only one Pauline in it. The Pig' was revised at once. It was presented the next night with 15 Paulines in the cast, and was a perfect success. A ll these statements may be regarded as strictly true. Ward would not deceive an infant." He next giv es a sketch of the Mormon Temple as it is and (1 ° it is to be ; and all they have got to do, he says, to earl out the design of the architect is to build the temple, w hich' when completed, is to surpass everything on earth. )le concludes his racy, piquant, and interesting narrative with a description of a prairie on fire— owning that he did nO t stop to see it, as most people get out of the way when :or thing of the kind is likely to happen. Tho style of the new entertainer is perfectly unique ; in fact he talks, as the saying is, "like a book." There is no attempt at imitationt and although Mr. Browne was labouring under evident in disposition and nervousness, he manfully struggled on to the end, and on making his bow he w a s gree t e d with , mo st enthusiastic applause. Exhibition of Fat Stock. The London Gazette of yesterday contains an order in Council, passed yesterday, which removes the r e : strictions hitherto imposed on the exhibition of f 3 ' stock. The concluding part of the order is 35 follows : " 1. From and after the 15th day of November, 1866, c - hibitions of fat stock intended for slaughter immediate after such exhibition may be held in any county in Engl e/j and Wales, with tho licenc e o f th e L or d s o f th e said Cosine" provided that no licence shall be granted unless their lord ships shall be satisfied that no case of cattle plague has c c : curred within 10 miles of the town or place at which suc h exhibition is to be held within ono calendar month prior to the date of such licence, nor sinless the exhibition is to be held at a distance exceeding 10 miles from any place de clared to bo infected according to the provisions of the sai d order of the 24th day of March last, and that such licence shall be null and void if at any time, exceeding 48 hours , previous to the holding of the said exhibition cattle plague shall break out within 10 miles of the place where s uch exhibition is to bo hold. "2.

"EDMUND IIA-RitiS°:4: , s /C$ THE EARL OF DERBY AND THE CONSCIP CLAUSE—Yesterday afternoon the Earl of D° l4)l received a deputation appointed at a meeting held on tine day following the conclusion of the York Congress, on subject of the serious injury to popular education whict has resulted from the practice of the Educational DeP 3r : mont of. the Privy Council in making the Conscience a condition of building grants. The deputation orig in ' T , appointed consisted of the Hon. and Very Rev. the pelt ; of York, Archdeacons Denison andChurton, Canon Trevor. Mr. J. G. Hubbard, M.P., Mr. Beresford Hope, M.Pe Lowther, M.P., Mr. Powell, M.P., and Colonel Alcrui-; M.P., with power to add to their number. Of these s° lie ral were unable to be present. Mr. Hubbard, M.P ., IV 0 introduced the deputation, read letters of apology the Dean of York and others, and stated that the Arc bishop of Canterbury, the Duke of Marlborough, ;\'`l-1.. Beauchamp, and others were prevented attending- Hubbard then read what Lord Derby called an obsto`.i, of his speech at York ; and Mr. Beresford 110P° ofil,o lowed, urging the importance, if possible, o f 500 friendly arrangement being arrived at between o f church and the Government. The Archdeacon 0, Taunton insisted on two points—first, that the „a science clause was the first religious di ffi culty o a t P ot arisen between the Privy Council and the church' D, secondly, that Parliament had never sanctioned the °to noxious clause. The Revs. A. Wilson (secretor , ' °l o w, National Society), Dr. Irons, R. Gregory, Mr. Wr. 3131 t1g e Dr. Biber, and others having spoken, Lord Derby' s 3i a do had listened with great attention to the statenieh ts f ul ar od on this most important and difficult subject. Il e „` e ro ityr the discussion had rather shown the extent of the diu - t uo than the means of meeting it. Having observed 00 d o cl two classes of objectors to the clause—those who conteoo lal that every doctrine of the Church should be t au g htt the children, and those who would without compulsion „t or mit Dissenters—his lordship guarded against the 05-7bovt operation of the clause being exaggerated, and ask ° et, in the question of the minority of Dissenters wa s to be %job, Parliament.
