li__ otter would not wish it, but would be obliged to go with the stream.' This one brother, John Lamb, held a clerkship, with a considerable salary, in the South Sea House (the subject of the first of the collected Essays), and seems to have been hard, dry, selfish man, who cared little for his relations ; but after his mother's terrible death he, too, was in danger from the family disease. I fear for his mind,' writes Charles to Coleridge ; he has taken his ease in the world and is not fit to struggle with difficulties.' But the other brother' did not go with the stream. He made up his mind at once what to do, and he did it, his whole life through. To enable him to devote his being entire to his desolate sister, he began by burning the little journal of my foolish Passion, which I had so long time kept,' and even, under the exaggeration of the first sense of self-devotion, and to wean himself off from the occupations and hopes of a h appier past, he got rid of the letters of his best and wisest friends, and of all his own compositions in verse. Men tion nothing of poetry,' he writes ; I have destroyed every Vestige of poor vanities of that kind.' The whole income tolfttnho.thloBzsehold at th a t ti me was , a t th e mos t , not more out of which,' he says, we can spare £5O or XGO for Mary while she stays in an asylum; if I and my father, and an old maid-servant, cannot live, and livo com fortably, on £l3O or £l2O a year, wo ought to burn by slow fires. I almost would, so that Mary might not go into an hospital.' The brother and all the other members of the family opposed her discharge, but the solemn under taking of Charles to act thereafter for life as her protector prevailed. Whenever some irritability or change of man ner prognosticated the returning malady, the brother and sister would walk quietly, but often weeping, to Hoxton A sylum, he carrying the strait-jacket, which at that time was the indispensable adjunct of insanity. But even When there he did not leave her entirely. When she is not violent, her rambling chat is better to me than the sense and sanity of the world,' and he rarely went else where for relief or diversion. am afraid there is some thing of dishonesty in any pleasure I take without her.' With eloquent pathos indeed does Mr. Proctor write— " 'ln this constant and uncomplaining endurance, and in his steady adherence to a great principle of conduct, his life was heroic. We read of men giving up all their days t ° a single object ; to religion, to vengeance, to some over oPr ace ow d e i r s it g l r g . se , lfish wish ; of daring acts done to av er t d ea th or some oppressing misfortune. We read mythical tales of friendship ; but we do not recollect any instance in which a great object has been so unremittingly carried out throughout a whole life, in defiance of a thou sand difficulties, and of numberless temptations, straining the good resolution to its utmost, except-in the case of our poor clerk of the India House.' "But it may be no extravagance of the theory of com pensations to believe that something besides the satisfac tion of accomplished duty was the result of this devoted life. Though, in one form of insanity, structural disease deadens or distorts the perception, and, extending to the organs of all the faculties, paralyses the intellectual force and reduces the individual to a simple machine, and, in another, the inefficiency or misdirection of the intellectual force is the sole cause of derangement, and produces disease by the violence of its existence and the want of the habit of controlling the thoughts and checking the imagination --there will always remain a border-land of sanity and madness, in which the saving power is the abstraction from the fixed occupation of the mind in other matters than its own phenomena. The saddest impression a visitor takes a way from an asylum is the utter lovelessness of its inmate s ; and it seems almost as if the sense of one Passionate sympathy might disperse the darkest of those tcrloopuds: C ertain it is th a t th oug h , j us t b e f ore th a t catas beCharles Lamb was placed under control, the prec aut ion was never necessary aga i n, notwithstanding all the stress of Mind caused by the dreadful event and its c i °llseclite ncss.. Und er the tegis of that intense fraternal eve his spirit walked secure." I t . E. B. Lytton, now Lord Lytton. (Prom the Ilerts Guardian of this day.) " , 'Wed nesday evening the members of the 'W On i dows' H ope " Lodge of Odd Fellows celebrated their anni versary at Steve nage ; a n d the Right Bon Sir E. B . Lytton having kindly consented to °ce uPY the chitir on the occas i on , it was determined that the festi v i t i es should consist—instead of the usu al dianer f a soi ree , a t w hi c h th e w i ves an d families of the t end. members and other visitors could at rated The Rev. Canon Blomfield kindly lent the use of the Nati onal School-room, which was deco with much skill, and in a very nice and taste ful. manner. The top of the room was ornamented w ith evergreens and cut fl owers ; a l so the j o i sts an d r Wafters. Along the sides w ere , i n l arge l e tt ers , " elcome to Sir Edward —H ea l t h an d L ong Lif e, " , " Welcome to th e R ector of Stevenage, " " God Lod ge Save thices Queen," Success to the Wid ows ' H o p e ~e 44 and several o th er appropriate mottoes and devices. Two series o f ta b les each occupied the entire le ngth of th e room ; on these were placed bquets of flowers and tea equipages. received A 7 o'clock Si r E. B. Lytton entered and was with a burst of applause. He t oo k th e preside n t' s place, fixed near the western entrance ; n ear him w ere the Rev. Canon Blomfield, Rev. C. B. Pearson, and Mr. Pearson, jun., Rev. J. 0. sea,, ow , Mrs • and the Miss Seagers, the Rev. Mr. Paul, Mrs. .„_ A mos, A. B. D en t on , E sq ., an d Miss Denton, ebb Webb, Mr. Smith (Stevenagebury), and other ladies and gentlemen. After a welcome and refreshing supply of tea and Coffee (we trust to be excused for not quoting " The Cup that cheers but not," &c., &c.) the business of the evening began. First, the balance sheet was produced : the Lodge h as 73 members, and has £907 7s. 2d. monies in the bank, on mortgage, and in the hand of Messrs. Simpson, brewers, of Baldock, being about £l2los. for each m em b er. The receipts for the year are £134 17s. 11d., the payments £BO 3s. 2d., and £6O has been invested. Next, a c h o i r of ladies and gentlemen sung a very elaborate glee, " The Sisters of the Sea," in very good style and to some effect. Wine, the claret C up, and f ru i ts were handed round, and all was hushed as the President rose to address the assembly. Sir B. B. LYTTON said—Ladies and gentlemen, will you allow me thus early to express the great pleasure I feel on finding myself once more amongst you. (Cheers.) F or , i ndependently of other attrac tions, it is above 25 years since I first became one of the brotherhood of Odd Fellows, and I am glad to see around me so n family. ( Cheers amorous and flouri s hi ng a in stitution of and laughter.) Ge n tl emen, t h e ' Odd Fellows closely combines two great social duties in life : the one sight, the o th er a mutual bene volence.is prudent fore There is no thing w hi c h more strengthens and dignifies the whole character of man than to form early in life a steady determination to provide against the chances ofthe future. The work of to-day becomes more light and pleasant to him who knows that he has taken care of the haor r ow—and sh ou ld b e struck down by sudden ii . l oess, he has earned through his own self-sacrifice in thrift or economy a right t o t h e aid of his fellow- He who does this has a better chance of a al)11 a nd contented h ome ; for surely he will be ihore beloved by his wife and children if they know he has taken care for them in case accident or dis ease should disable the arm on which they lean for 64PP°rt• It is an additional pleasure for an Odd sey.r ellow to know, that while he is providing for hitu , he is at the same time, through the great prin ciple of co _operation, obtaining the power to benefit others in their time of affliction. Thus, as I have sai d Odd Fellowship com bi nes two social duties_ of Prudence and b enevolence. And thus the Society may Odd Fellows fulfil a great social duty. This be ,_, said of all other provident societies ; but, ticsn.s'uition the Odd Fellows secure opportuni for pleasant meetings like the present, which ser ve to bring us familiarly together, and i lnake n us feel that we are indeed brothers, not only ;.„sets of charity, but in mutual affection and good :1:11 (Cheers.) In small towns and rural districts ju e as this we have but few opportunities of meet el, together, and a cheerful holiday like that we now _ J ° 3 l. sends us all back to our homes thinking still leer, kily of each other. (Cheers.) Now, gen- i _ron, I nd must congratulate you upon one great im tviie‘ ement on our former meeting. You have secured lick attendance of the ladies ; and I am sure you all n° bettwiedge that th e s i ght of so many fair faces is I ~0 better 1-. tuan our fl ower show. (Cheers.) I venture kill express a hop e t h at the good custom now begun att not fail to b e cont i nued, though ` l fear it will be p l, ended with a serious loss, not only to some Odd there be s. For if y g h Young bachelors present, .I am ce r t a i n some the re be any young lady present w h o h as h appened ° Bald one of these hearts, I, as chairman for the day, give her full leave and license to keep it for life. 1 15 1 ro.v ided only, as is fair, that she gives another lean eart in exchange. (Cheers and laughter.) Now, es and gentlemen, I am not here to make a B,Peeeh, but to be amongst you ; and it only remains for me to thank you, first, most cordially for the f I . sd uess with which you have received me as a friend and neighbour ; and next, for the pleasure you have afforded me by the development of the musical talent which has charmed us all. In return ing thanks to the musicians, permit, me not to for get to thank the fair Sisters of the Sea. (Loud cheers.) Glee—" Awake 2Eolian Lyre." The Rev. Canon BLOMFIELD said he rose to perform a duty due from the court of Odd Fellows, to record their sense of the honour done them by the presence of Sir E. B. Lytton on this occasion. (Cheers.) He was sure that all present, whether inhabitants of Stevenage or of other places, would feel that a high honour was done to Stevenage, and especially the Odd Fellows, by the presence of Sir Edward Lytton. (Loud cheers.) They bad the pleasure of hearing words, few in number, but worthy of long remembrance ; they were spoken by one to whom perhaps the best cultivated assembly in Europe—the House of Commons—listened with rapt attention whenever he rose to address them. And although the presence of Sir Edward Lytton at an anniversary of Odd Fellows would be an honour at any time, it was doubly so at the present. The party of - whom the right hon. baronet was so dis tinguished a member had come into power ; and though he had not consented to accept office under Government, still it was evident that he must con tinue to be a leading member of that party, and so would be- looked up to with much and increasing in terest. Next, he would speak of the high honour her Majesty was about to confer on the right hon. baronet. That was a great satisfaction to all here. They did not suppose that a peerage would add honour to the name of Bulwer Lytton, because the name was already more widely known and more highly honoured than a peerage could make it ; but it was a matter for pride to them all, that their dis tinguished neighbour and friend had received that distinction, which was so well his due. He was the founder of a title which would go down to the latest posterity, audits holders would feel it had descended to them by the high honours fairly earned by Sir Bulwer Lytton. His family had been connected with the locality for very many years ; and he could trace his ancestry back to an almost pre-historic time. He (Mr. B.) was sure that none of the right hon. baronet's friends could more heartily rejoice at his approaching and well-deserved elevation, and more heartily wish him every good wish, than those he now asked to join him in wishing health and long life to Lord Lytton of Knebworth." (Loud cheers.) Sir E. B LrrisoN said—Ladies and gentlemen, I cannot adequately express the sincere gratitude I feel to my friend Mr. Blomfield, for the much too flattering manner in which he has been kind enough to speak of me ; and I thank you also for the kind ness with which you listened to his remarks. With regard to the honour her Majesty is pleased to be stow upon me. I can only say in the language of the poet— " The rank is but the guinea stamp, The man's the gowd for a' that ;" (cheers)—and what I most rejoice at is the thought that in this free country of ours any man may hope to rise to the highest rank it is in the power of his sovereign to bestow. For whatever the advantages I may have derived from the ancestry to which Mr. Blomfield has referred—those advantages of ancient birth rather serve to diminish any humble merit of mine ; and more honourable -it is to the man of humble parentage who owes nothing to an cestry and all to himself. There are such in stances in the Peerage of England—instances in which the sons of tradesmen sit side by side with the descendants of the proudest chiefs who adorn the early pages of our history. Gentlemen, before I quit this subject, I wish earnestly to impress upon all the fellowmen I see around me that one of the principles belonging to this association is necessarily the strong desire to achieve independence. (Cheers.) Independence is at the root of all noble thoughtErand of all worldly success. Independence of pecuniary obligations is not a mere vulgar desire of money, it connects itself with independence of character. For if a man has £lO,OOO a year, and if he feels he owes money that he cannot pay, he is really poor ; but if he earns only 12s. a week, and can pay his way, and lay by some trifle towards supporting his wife and children if illness should overtake him, he is rich ; and this is one reason why I so earnestly support the Odd Fellows and all societies that tend to create a spirit of independence. And lam per fectly certain, that if I had not early in life laid down as a principle rule—•before I had lands, when I was young and unknown, if I hadnot laid it down as a principle that I would save something, however trifling, at the end of every year, I feel that I should not have attained to the honours which are about to be bestowed on me. (Hear.) I thank you for the kindness you have shown to me, and I hope, at least for some years to come that I shall continue to have the opportunity of meeting you on these oc casions. (Cheers.) An instrumental piece " The Hundred Pipers," brilliantly played by Miss Campkin. Glee : " Oh happy, happy fair." Sir E. B. LYTTON said—Ladies and gentlemen,— I trespass on your attention once more ; and this time I have to perform a task peculiarly pleasing to me, because I wish you to give me your per mission to return, not only on my, own behalf, but on behalf of all present, thanks to our excel- lent rector, Mr. Blomfield, for his attendance this day. I think it of great importance at meetings of this kind, when we can secure the attendance and approval of a minister of the Esta blished Church of this country ; and I am sure that all here, whether Churchmen or not, must regard Mr. Blomfield's presence on this occasion with gratified feelings. (Cheers.) I know no town of a similar size to Stevenage that has made such great progress or exhibits marks of such decided improve ment within a few years ; and much of that improvement, and which I trust is not merely external, but also internal, is owing to the counsel, example, encouragement, and support we receive from our excellent rector. (Loud cheers.) It is a great pleasure you confer on me to allow me to return thanks on behalf of all present to Mr. Blomfield for his attendance and countenance this evening. (Cheers). The Rev. Canon BLOMFIELD returned thanks, and said his attendance to-day was so obvious a duty that he considered all thanks were entirely unnecessary. He should be happy to attend under any circum stances that should bring together so agreeable a meeting of the inhabitants of the place; but he felt it a peremptory duty to all to attend and show the respect he felt for their chairman, Sir Bulwer Lytton, and his gratitude for the kind support which his presence rendered to the Society. He felt doubly grateful to their Right Hon. Chairman for the kind terms in which he had spoken of him self ; it was a great deal to be praised by such a man. He was, perhaps, disposed to take too kindly a view of others. Being kindly disposed himself, he was disposed to think well of all. He accepted Sir Edward's kind expressions with great gratitude ; and he accepted their acceptance of them with much gratification,and hoped to meet them all on a future occasion. (Cheers.) IRELAND. D uuLIN, Monday Evening. The sentence of death upon Colour-Serjeant M'Carthy has been commuted by her Majesty to penal servitude for life. This day Lord Kimberley held his last reception, which was numerously attended. He leaves Ireland to-morrow. The _lrish Times positively announces the appoint- Rnt of Mr. Walsh as Attorney-General. Dr. Singer, Bishop of Meath, died this morning. MIDDLE TEMPLE.—The treasures of art belong ing to this society have just had an important addition in the shape of a marble bust, by Mr. Morton Edwards, of London, of the Prince of Wales, who is one of the benchers. It has been presented to the society by one of the mem bers, Mr. R. H. W. Ingram, of Titsworth House, Slough, Bucks. His royal highness honoured the artist with se veral sittings for the work, and it is executed in a manner which reflects great credit on the skill and taste of Mr. Edwards. The bust, which is an exceedingly good like— ness, is draped, and has been placed on a handsome verd antique column in the library of the society, which his royal highness inaugurated in October, 1861. It is also intended to place in the library a full-length State por trait of the Prince, for which a fund had been subscribed exclusively by the members of the Middle Temple.

It was unanimously held that a husband is liable to aliment his wife's parents. The decisions in the inferior courts have been numerous and conflicting; and it is satisfactory that the question has now been raised simply on its legal merits, and authorita . _ tively decided. The grounds on which the court pro ceeded wore : —That a husband is liable for the debts of his wife, whether future or contingent; that the obliga tion in this case was incumbent on the wife at tke time of her marriage, though not then prestable ; that it might have become exigible as against her, if single, at any mo ment, and when married, became enforciblo, like all her other personal obligations, against her husband.—Scots- TWELVE o'CLocK. There is a good demand for monetary accommo dation, and the rates continue firm at 8f per cent and upwards. The floating balances of bankers and others are very large, but owing to the adverse 1 specie movement there is no disposition to relax the terms.

In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets, during the last few days, there has been an absence of animation. Sugars, however, have generally maintained former values. Coffee has been in moderate request at steady rates ; while in rice, tea, 1 , saltpetre, and tallow, there has been a very limited business transacted, without any material change in values. Foreign Stocks are generally flat.

Lord Derby and Reform. The following letter has been addressed to the editor of the Times : "Sir,—l refrain, as a general rule, from troubling you with corrections of reports, but I beg leave to say that I did not state on the hustings that there was no difficulty in dealing with the question of Parliamentary Reform, which I acknowledge to be, perhaps, the most difficult of all public questions. What I maintained was, there was no difficulty in the question peculiar to the Conservative party, and I argued that they were as free and as qualified to deal with it as any other party in the State. " What I wished to express respecting Lord Derby's connexion with the Act of 1832 was exactly what I said this year in the House of Commons— that the Act of 1832, if not devised by Lord Derby, was, at least, carried mainly by his energy.—Your faithful servant, " B. DISRAELI. " Grosvenor -gate, July 16." POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--This Day. -----~-- MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ENDEAVOURING TO OBTAIN CHARITABLE COICTIIIBUTIONS BY FRAUD.—Henry Itickson, described as a porter, of Far ringdon, Barks, was chargod before Mr. Knox with en deavouring to obtain charitable contributions by false pre tences from Viscount Uffington, residing at No. 16, Charles-street, Berkeley-square. Thos. Elliott, valet to Viscount Uffington, said—Yester day morning about 9 o'clock the prisoner came to 16, Charles-street, and said that he was in tho employ of Mr. Myers, of Uffington, and, that having had three days' holi day, he came to London on Saturday last and wait to a coffee-shop near the railway station at Paddington. The prisoner then said he slept in a double-bedded room, and on waking up the next morning he missed his money, £5 odd, and other property, and he wanted me to speak to my master, with the view of assisting him in getting back to Uffington. I told the prisoner to call again, which he did, and I then told him that his lordship would pay his fare back; but to make all safe I would meet him at the coffee shop at two in the afternoon. I went to the coffee shop at the time appointed; but the prisoner was not there, nor was anything known of him, and he had never stayed i there. As I was ret urn i ng f rom th e coffee shop n . an omnibus in Oxford-street I saw the prisoner, and, having.t got down, asked him why he had not kept appoint ment, - meat, and he said he did not know the time. After some further evidence the prisoner was remanded. SUSPECTED MURDER IN EDINBURGII.—OD Sun day morning an old soldier, names Jas.

The Speaker took the chair at 12 o'clock. LORDS' AMENDMENTS. Clauses 13 and 14 were agreed to. Clause 15, relative to voting papers, was withdrawn. Clauses 16 to 43 were agreed to. On clause 44, with regard to compensation, Sir G. BOWYER, in reply to Mr. Alarrox, said the clause did not give the owner any right to compensation in respect of tolls, because the bill pa, ded for the aboli tion 6f these tolls. But supposing a man had laid out a good deal of money on any of those weirs, and handed them over in a very good condition, he had a very fair right to compensation for the expenditure he had incurred. Sir W. IIEATHCOTE said the learned gentleman's ex planation was to him most puzzling. (Hear, hear.) The abolition of the tolls seemed to him to be the very reason why compensation should be given. Mr. AYRTON said the words of the act were that any person having any estate in any lock, dam, or weir was en titled to compensation.. In order that they might define what compensation was to be given for, ho• moved that " estatO be left out of the clause. Mr. LOCKE said that any tolls or right of fishing was part of the estate, and therefore the clause ought to be altered or struck out altogether. Mr. GIBSON said the intention of the committee was this—that persons who had laid out a good deal of money on locks, and really laid out more than was really required should be compensated—that their claim should be consi dered. Mr. AYRTON then withdrew his amendment, on tho understanding that the clause would bo amended by Mr. Cave. Clauses 45 to 56 were agreed to. Mr. AYRTON moved the rejection of Clause 58, but, after some discussion, the amendment was negatived. Clauses 59, GO, 61, and 62, after a short discussion, wero agreed to, and the chairman was ordered to report pro gress. An adjournment took place at four o'clock. Tho house resumed at six o'clock, and was [LEFT SITTING.' LONDON GAZE T TE. —This Evening. MASTER OF THE HORSES'-OFFICE, JULY 10. The Queen has been graciously pleased to appoint the Right Hon.

London, Chatham, and Dover (Various Powers) Railway, London, Brighton, and South Coast (Various Powers) Railway). _ — LAND TENURE (IRELAND) BILL. The Marquis of CLANRIOARDE, in moving the second reading of this bill, said that , he belibved the principle of it was never generally undcrstoOd and its proposed object recognised. The subject had undergone considerable dis cussion in and out of Parliament, and particularly in Ire land, and it was very desirable that the question should be satisfactorily settled. One of the principal provisions of the bill was that which proposed to repeal all existing acts on this subject. Another was that which related to im provements or alterations in land by tenants for which they claimed compensation. To the principle of that com pensation he consented, but did not think that it should be left to the discretion of the tenant without reference to the wishes of the . landlord. He contended that considerable ignorance preVailed in reference to the agricultural con dition of Ireland, for the farmer or peasant proprietor was no tin the anomalous state generally described. For instance, although some peasant proprietors possessed from 5 to 20 acres, still there was a large class who hold farms of consi derable extent in Ireland. He denied that there was any hostility between landlord and tenant in Ireland, such as was supposed in this country to exist. He con tended, further, that•the doctrine of the relation between landlord and tenant in respect to land should rest on vo luntary agreement, and not on legal compul s i on .
