The good old town of Portsmouth is just now in a state of unwonted excitement. The arrival of the Admiralty yacht from Brest yesterday morning betokened the near approach of the English fleet, to be followed by the French vessels, for whose recep tion such busy and costly preparations are being made. No trouble, ingenuity, or expense has been spared to render the visit of the French fleet to the English seaport as brilliant as possible, and judging from the gaiety of the decorations and the animation of the town, it will appear to the visi tors to belong to that gay and light-hearted country rather than to their grave and uni maginative neighbours. It is only to be hoped that the weather may be a little more propitious • than it has hitherto proved, and that the cruel rain which has so unseasonably interfered with the fes tivities at Cherbourg and Brest may have done its worst before the arrival of the French fleet over here. At Brest all went off, however, better than at Cherbourg, though the courtesy and hos pitality of the hosts were all that could be desired at both places. Our French friends were moved to cordial admiration of our English seamanship, of which there were some most brilliant displays. The men, indeed, are more to be noticed than the ships, since any country can now possess ironclads, which would have been a marvel to the last generation, but there are few nations that can show such gallant and well-trained crews to man them. We hope that no unkindly clouds and storms may mar the pleasures of the occasion, but that the pleasant interchange of national courtesies may conclude without any dis appointment or contretemps. It seems that the fears experienced by the Im perial party in the Chinese capital have been only too well founded, for, according to the intelligence brought by the last telegrams, Pekin is in the hands of the rebels. NIGENFEI, as we heard by the last mail, was encamped at a distance of only elle hun dred miles from the city, with nothing in the inte r _ vening space to offer him any opposition. The artillery and the European troops which were under the control of Li, the ex-Tartar, who was the cause of so much mischief, were ordered up to Pekin to protect the capital, but Li, choosing for some . purposes of his own to misunderstand or disregard the order, despatched them to Nankin, and conse quently the Imperialists lost their most valuable means of defence. It is not indeed positively cer tain that Pekin has changed hands, but the rumour was currently believed at Shanghae, where there are good sources of information, and it appears to b 3 certain that NIGENFEI is encamped in the vicinity of the city. The singular thing is, that rumour with the same breath tells us that Pekin is in the hands of the rebels, and that the Taeping rebellion is extinguished. A careless reader, who has always associated the name of rebels with the Taepings, may well feel somewhat amazed at this contradic tory intelligence, but the fact is that the rebels who are threatening, if not actually capturing, Pekin, belong to a new and powerful rebellion. The Taepings have lost ground ever since Major GORDON'S vigorous and well-directed attack upon them ; and the Imperialists have reaped a profit they very little deserved from his exertions. Possibly, with the characteristic conceit of orientals, they thought the result was] clue to their own wisdom and valour rather than the skill and valour of the Englishman and his troops, and as is well known they wilfully lost the service of the steam flotilla built in England, and of its experienced and able commander. If the easy capture of llangchow and other cities under Major GORDON'S directions emboldened the Impe rialists to believe that they were strong enough to be independent of foreign assistance, the present catastrophe must have taught them their mistake. No sooner is one rebellion put down or exhausted than a new one, still more formidable, springs up in its place. There is certainly something very rotten in the State when such events are of continual recurrence. The whole system of government is by turns effete and tyrannical, the Mandarins are petty despots, while the central authority is powerless to control the great unwieldy empire. There is always room for a reckless, discontented spirit to stir up a rebellion, and to carry fire and sword through the country, an opportunity which every adventurer is glad to avail himself of Unfortunately, there is little reason to hope that a better state of things can be brought about by our intervention. We do not as yet know what the effect of the NIGENFEI rebellion will be upon the dynasty. Possibly the young king and his immediate advisers and attendants may have escaped the as sailants, but if so, the place of their refuge is unknown. Fresh troubles threaten the country from America unless BITRGEVINE is released, since the American Minister, on again demanding his liberation, has intimated that a renewed refusal will be taken as a cases belli. Possibly this intimation will have the effect of procuring his release, and the Chinese Government must by this time regret their ungrateful conduct towards their European and American allies. With their regrets or alarms, how ever, we have nothing to do. We must indeed lament the unsettled and miserable condition of so many millions of people, and the more so since the anarchy and confusion of the provinces offer serious obstacles to the progress of civi lisation, and the development of trade and com merce. But to attempt to reinstate the dynasty, or re-organise the Government, is more than any rational person could dream of. We must content ourselves with protecting the Treaty Ports and their radius, and the tumult and disorganisation of the central provinces proves in the most convincing manner the prudence of Lord PALMERSTON and his colleagues in securing that protection for trade and commerce. The Cattle Plague still continues to engross attention to no ordinary degree, and last night's Gazette contained a supplement which set forth an ' important Order in Council respecting the cala mity. It states that as a" contagious and infec tious disorder has recently appeared and continues to prevail among the cattle within that part of the United Kingdom called Great Britain, and it is expedient to adopt such measures as may prevent the disorder from spreading to Ireland, in conse quence it is decreed that it shall not be lawful for any person to remove any cattle from any port or place in Great Britain to any port or place in Ireland." 'This is a very wise and timely precaution, and it is highly satisfactory that the Lords of her MAJESTY'S Privy Council should have come to this conclusion, for it is highly important that the disease should be kept away from all places ; as yet uninfected, and that it is the only right mode ' to adopt. It appears that this idea has already been entertained in Ireland and thought favourably of. A public meeting was held in Belfast 'Town hall, composed of persons who were interested in the preservation of live stock, for the purpose of considering the best measures to be taken to pre vent the cattle disease from spreading to that dis trict. At this meeting it was resolved that the Lord-Lieutenant and her MAJESTY'S Ministers be informed of the necessity of prohibiting the impor tation of cattle into Ireland, and a deputation was appointed to wait upon his Excellency and state these opinions. Mr. RUSSELL, M.P., who had gone to London to urge the necessity of prompt measures being adopted at once, wrote to the committee to the effect that Lord PALMERSTON was very anxious to meet the difficulties of the case. Considering the zeal and activity which have been displayed in so many quarters, it is reasonable to indulge in a hope that Ireland may be preserved from the plague which is now decimating the cattle in this country. It is satisfactory and encouraging to notice the unanimity and good understanding which seem to prevail on the subject, as they afford a fair promise of success in the arduous undertaking. Several suggestions have been made respecting this calamity, and an order has been issued by the manager of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, which gives the most positive instructions concerning the traffic in cattle. Orders are given to sweep and wash cattle trucks upon their arrival at a station, and after the cattle are taken from them. This is an excellent rule, and it is to be hoped that all concerned iu the matter will see that it is strictly adhered to, as much depends on its observation. No doubt the objectionable habits that prevailed in many quarters respecting the conveyance of cattle have had a great deal to do with the spread and con tinuance of all kinds of disease, and there fore it is the more to be rejoiced at that a new order of things should be adopted. Additional orders are given to the effect that chloride of lime be used in the process of cleaning. An important rule is added, that if any of the cattle tendered for convey ance appear to be infected with the plague they must not be received. This plan, if carried out, must necessarily prove a great preventive to the spread of the contagion, as nothing is more calcu lated to do immense injury than herding animals together in close quarters. If it should, however, unfortunately happen that any diseased cattle are received at a station, the trucks that contain them are not to be used until they have been disinfected ; and all persons who have come into contact with any of the diseased cattle are not to be allowed to assist in loading cattle on the company's premises until their clothes have been thoroughly disinfected, and the shovels, brooms, &c., employed in cleaning the trucks are not to be used again without the per mission of the cattle inspector. If . these rules and regulations are kept with an the advantages of such precauti ons yth mg like precision must most cer- 1 tainly b e felt, and their beneficial influences will extend far and wide. In fact, too much care can not possibly be taken by those persons whose duties bring them into constant contact with cattle, and much that in ordinary times would be looked upon as unnecessary will now become of vital con sequence. It behoves all who are in authority to watch with the strictest scrutiny the doings of those beneath them, for ignorance and prejudice are pro lific causes of the propagation of evil and the spread of contagious diseases. , Mr. MACLAGAN, of the Royal Infirmary of Dundee, has made some very sensible observations on this subject, and they deserve to be attentively studied by all concerned in the matter. He states THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENIAG, AUGUST 20, 1865, LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTXR'S TILEGRAMS.) ITALY. MINISTERIAL CIRCULAR. FLORENCE, Aua. 22. The Minister of the Interior has addressed the following circular to the Prefects, a telegraphic summary of which has alrady appeared : FLORENCE, Aug. 20. " Confidential instructons solely addressed to the Commanders of Corpsby the Minister of War, directing them according io circumstances to main tain among their subordimtes that reasonable moral solidarity, which like discipline is so essential to military spirit, having teen disclosed by one of those facts which the undersigned abstains from qualifying, fell into the hinds of that portion of the press for whom any argunent is available to attack and oppose the action of the Government, in what ever form it may be manfested. These instructions, therefore, being subjected to sinister interpretation and passionate commentary, have without doubt excited a certain commotion which it is sought to feed and increase, with so much the greater danger for the public welfare, since the nation is at pre sent assembling to renevr its legal representation. " You, Signor Prefect, assuredly deploring this imprudent, if not artificial agitation, will easily have been able to observe that the only object of the circular in question was to counsel all the officers of the army, without distinction, to the effect that if one of them happened to be the object of public or private accusation he should not sink in the esteem and confidence of his colleagues, nor be abandoned by them until legal or moral proof of the charges brought forward removed all doubt of his culpa bility. In that circular, in its spirit and scope, there appeared nothing but a principle of rigorous justice and expediency ; neither was there a shadow of a design to menace the exercise of the political franchise. No intentions of this kind can really be honestly attributed to the illustrious general, Minister for War, nor to the Councillors of the Crown, his colleagues, who, from their long-tried faith in liberal institutions, vouched by their past life and recent political acts, should not, it appears to me, have been offensively suspected of purposely or inconsiderately infringing the rights of the citi zens consecrated by the constitution, and of offering an insult to the army, as if regardless or oblivious of the glorious prestige of its military virtue no less than its devotion to the free ordinances of the nation. " It is very necessary that this conviction on your part, Signor Prefect, should, by your influential care, prevail among those under your administra tion ; and this counsel is so much the more oppor tune since some honourable members of the Cham bers, not recollecting that out of Parliament their authority is only personal, meet to make manifesta tions hostile to the King's Government, thus increasing the misunderstanding, and thereby the danger of leading the public to form an unsound and prejudiced judgment. " You will, therefore, consider it your strict duty to watch that none of the functionaries under your direction in any way connive at, or take part in, any such manifestations, which more or less openly accuse the Government of departing from a consti tutional course. The Government will be able in due time to repel the unjust accusation on legal ground, but meanwhile cannot tolerate, from respect for its own dignity and for justice, that those per sons, bound by their office to co-operate in the action of the constitutional Government, should act in open contradiction to their duty by protesting against or opposing it. " The undersigned expects, together with ac knowledgment of receipt of the present, to be ex actly informed of what you may have done in com pliance with these instructions, and the result obtained. "The Minister, G. LANZA." RELEASE OF MR. MOENS. SALERNO, AUG. 26. Mr. Moens, the Englishman, was released by the brigands last night, and has arrived at Giffone. FRANCE, PARIS, AUG. 26.

In some respects the cause of this disease in cattle is similar to that which occasions typhus-fever among human beings, and hence it is very desirable to note the particulars, with a view to avoid the recurrence of such evils if possible. Overcrowding is a very prolific source of the disease ; it produces the evil, and then spreads it rapidly in all directions. Anything which lowers the system is bad—as deficient nourishment and privation. The cattle are exposed to the following dangers. They are huddled together in the steamers and cattle-trucks, they are not allowed rest during the period of their conveyance, are furnished with neither food nor drink ; they are so exhausted when they are sold that the disease is germinating in them, and, after some days, when it becomes perfectly developed, people exclaim that they have brought the infection from abroad. Mr. MACLAGAN truly declares that the truth of this is by no means proved, for that the cattle during their transit are reduced so low, and exposed to such hardships, that they get into a condition similar to human beings who suffer from typhus fever. It is well to consider this view of the matter, for, as it is well observed by the writer of the above-mentioned circumstances, typhus fever has been effectually banished from our ships and prisons by the adoption of proper measures, and the same sanitary laws will apply to the cattle who appear to suffer from similar causes of infection. A Visit to Yr. Woodin's Bachelor's Box. If there is one part of Mr. Woodin's ability that shines brighter than the rest it is the rapidity with which he assumes fresh disguises, reappearing almost before you have time to draw your breath, or before the laugh produced by his representations has died away, and it is in his " Bachelor's Box" that he has reached the acme of his transformatory powers. All mimics comparatively pale before Woodin, he alone being the actor, whilst other artistes run in pairs, or threes, and thus render it an easy matter to effect a metamorphoses. Woodin may be said to have passed through three ordeals, and come out scatheless : years since, the public were startled by the appearance of his monster carpet bag, and cha racters drawn from its capacious jaws created quite a furore from their close resemblance to actors of the day ; then we had his " Olio of Oddities," which seemed destined for an interminable run ; and now we are invited to a peep at his " Bachelor's Box," which bids fair to surpass the others in the length of its term of representation, even as it is conspicu ous above the rest from the superiority of and life likeness of the characters illustrated. We will not forestall our readers by a depiction of them, only intimate that Woodin, the inimitable, incomparable, nightly attracts and delights hundreds at the Pavilion, sings numerous songs, foots it lightly in many pleasing dances, and his audience never tire. How he undergoes the fatigue, re-appearing at the end " as clean and bright as a new pin," is a matter for marvel in ourselves and many others, and it will be a source of regret when the time arrives for him to announce his farewell performances, for we shall "never look upon his like again."—Brighton Gazette. Laying and Recovering the Cable. (From the Mechanics' Magazine) When the Great Eastern commenced laying the Atlantic cable the probabilities in the mind of the general public were three to one that England and America would be united in less than a month by an electric line. The public were far too sanguine, as the return of the Groat Eastern has shown. The difficulties to be contended with in laying so fine a thread between the Old and New World were and still aro immense, but not greater than can be overcome by practical men possessing a sound knowledge of natural philosophy, and who are, there fore, men of common sense. It was stated that all the faults in the manufacture and the laying of the old cable had been carefully avoided. This was not so, for the principal and most important fault was evidently not seen, for if it had been seen it is hard to understand how it should have been so heedlessly repeated. The great mistake was in having the outside wires spirally wound round the straight copper core, thus making a cable as it were of fine straight wires and spiral springs, the spiral springs to take all strains and the centre wires none. This :is a thing impossible, for how could the spiral extend, as it naturally would, in proportion to the strain upon it, without extending the central and weak core ? We can easily imagine the extension of the spiral spring being so great as to break and com pletely separate the copper ore before it had one-fourth of its own breaking strain on; and not only that, but it would also open tho insulated covering sufficiently to admit the water, and thus indicate " dead earth," when electrical tests were applied. The strengthening outside wires being arranged as spiral springs were evidently the cause of failure. Theory shows clearly that such an arranged cable would fail with a much less strain than would be required to break the sustaining wires. We have no data to prove that the failure arose from any other cause. As to fishing up the cable from a depth of two miles and a half, or two miles of water, the chances are very vague. If in a distance of 948 miles only 1,081 miles of cable were payed out, there is not much slack left for the successful picking up. Presuming that the cable was laid hold of at a depth of 2,000 fathoms, and presuming the fishing tackle to be amply strong for any strain put upon it—what would be the con sequence to the cable ? Why, it would break long before it was brought to the surface. 'When it is considered that it is laid in nearly a straight line, there being so little slack; the strain on itself from its own weight would be very great when lifted only one mile from its present resting place. Assuming that in a length of about four miles of cable the length of slack is half a mile, the centre of the length of four miles and a half being lifted up ono mile, tho strain on the cable at the highest point would be equal to three miles of its own weight on either side of the fishing tackle ; beyond this strain, there is the strain due to the fric tion of pulling it through the water. If it is strong enough to withstand the above strains, how much higher could it be lifted ? In lifting it higher the cable must either stretch, or be dragged along the bottom of the ocean beyond the distance of two miles on either side. Even supposing the curve of the catenary to be flatter than we have assumed, the consequence would be a propor tionately increased strain on itself at its highest point, duo to an increased length suspended at a more acute angle with the horizon. It thus appears impossible to lift the cable safely out of this great depth of water—especially when we consider that experiments have been made which gave a result showing that, in great depths of water, the strain with equal velocity is increased to four times when the length is doubled; and, in addition to this, it must be remembered that the friction is increased as the square of the velocity. LAND-LUBBERS AFLOAT !—Prussia has got her post at last, and the eagle of Brandenburg has taken to the water. Perhaps the bird intends to become a sea eagle. There is no port a British fleet should have so little pleasure in entering with guns run out and hammocks triced up, unless it were to make atonement for Copenhagen, as this harbour of Kiel. It is to be fortified by Prussia, but Austria is to have a right to use it for her fleet till the Diet formally decide what flag the port is to hoist. In order to make these powers more formidable, a canal is to be run through the plundered territories of the Crown of Denmark in Holstein, so as to join the Baltic with the German Ocean. May the Bellies wig-Holsteiners now reap the reward of their factious patriotism and disloyalty ! Rendsburg is to become a Federal garrison. Lauenburg becomes Prussian ; and her share of the cost of the war is liberally divided between Schleswig and Holstein, and in place of dill administrators the provinces are to be ruled by Gen. Gablenz for Austria, and Gen. von Manteuffel for Prussia. Since the partition of Poland there never was such auda cious state theft as this, and our parade of naval strength and of French and English power on the water at this period, gives pungency to the quiet insolence of the Salz burg decemvirs. The troubles about the Duchies are not over yet ; and to parody a question of Captain Shandy on a similar occasion, we may ask, " And what says the Duko of Augustenburg to all this ?"

On Wednesday evening last, a few minutes before nine o'clock, a missile, either from an air gun, catapult, or from the hand, was thrown at one of our plate-glass windows, breaking it. On the following morning we discovered that another had been broken, probably about the same time ; on Thursday evening, five minutes past eight, a third was broken. We are of opinion that the missiles were discharged at our building from a vehicle, in which opinion the police with whom we have communicated coincide. Wo have offered a reward of five pounds for the conviction of the offender, as per enclosed copy of advertisement, which appears in to-day's Sun.

CONTINENTAL HOTEL CHARGES. —The resources of hotelkeepers in imagining new items for increas ing their charges are yet far from being exhausted. At Interlaken kurta.re has been introduced into the hotel bills for music and fetes ! The landlord of an hotel at lleyst, a bathing place in Belgium, has even surpassed his Swiss colleague in ingeuity. In the salle h manger is placed an old piano constantly open, and should any of the inmates, in a momont of absence of mind,run his or her fingers along the keys, or wile away a dull quarter of an hour in playing an air, a charge for the use of the instrument will inevitably be set down iu the bill. _ _ CINCHONA.—A writer in the Queensland Guardian says that the cinchona plant is indigenous in that colony. It grows plentifully at Gayndah, and very abun dantly in the Burnett district. I have seen it on the banks of the Mary River, as well as in the interior of the Wide Bay country.

The Insurrection in Bucharest. BUCHAREST, Aug. 15. The following are fuller details of this day's out break than have yet been given : As early as 6 a.m. a considerable crowd of par tially armed people rushed into the Hotel de Ville. In a moment all windows and furniture in the build ing were smashed, the archives torn to pieces and thrown into the street. As soon as the insurgents observed that infantry was being moved up they barricaded the doors, and offered so stubborn a re sistance to the troops, that it was not until many had fallen upon both sides that the place wasicarlied at the point of the bayonet. The number of killed and wounded was considerable. " Armed men on horseback at the same time gal loped through the streets, calling upon the people to band together and attack the palace. Crowds liy this means soon collected in the principal streets, which offered considerable resistance to the troops. A body of men in the Lipskanin-street three times repelled charges of cavalry, and it was not until the troops were reinforced that they succeeded in dis persing the rioters. A major, several officers of lower rank, and a large number of soldiers and in surgents fell at this point, some killed, others badly wounded. " By 11 a.m. all the principal squares and govern ment buildings were held by the military; the small arm fire continued till about four in the afternoon. At this hour shots were fired from four houses in the Belvedere-street against troops marching by (among them artillery), through which several sol diers were killed and wounded. Major Dunka, in command of the detachment, immediately planted his guns in front of these houses and literally bat tered them down. The insurgents and inhabitants in the four houses were all crushed beneath the ruins. " At about half-past five, a violent thunderstorm, succeeded by heavy falls of rain, put an end to the small-arm fire. By nine in the evening, when this report left, strong detachments of infantry, cavalry, and artillery occupied the principal streets, and bivouacked in the squares. The people appear only to have been ultimately dispersed by the violence of the weather. The military hospital has just been cleared of all the patients to make room for the wounded soldiers, whose number seems very large. " P.S.—lntelligence has just been received from a well informed source that the original plan of the insurgents was to have surprised and captured the Ministers, and other unpopular persons, when as sembled early in the morning in the Catholic church to celebrate the fete of the Emperor Napoleon. This was, however, frustrated by the police, who, having been informed of what was intended, warned the Ministers and enabled them to escape into the War Ministry, which was defended by a strong body of troops. The insurgents only found in the church the French consul, whom they did not molest." The Note Freie Presse of Vienna, August 21, publishes the following communication from a cor respondent in Bucharest, dated August 16 " The occurrences of yesterday are already so far intelligible as to permit the decided assertion that the Couza Government availed itself of a riot —possibly brought about by its own intrigues—to introduce a reign of terror by means of the soldiery it kept ready for the purpose. While the number of the rioters, who were only armed with clubs and loaded sticks, at the most amounted to from 150 to 200 men, the garrison, consisting at present of fully 15,000 horse and foot armed with sabres, pikes, muskets, and cannon, moved out and directed its attack, in default of any other enemy, upon the harmless population. The savageness and brutality are incredible with which the military fell upon men, women, and children, peacefully pursuing their ordinary avocations. The cavalry instituted a per fect chase through the streets of the town with pikes and sabres, in which the age and sex of their vic tims were matters of perfect indifference. Men quietly at work were assailed with lances and swords until they fell, and were even then trodden under foot and stabbed. Women were dragged by the hair by the mounted Dorobantzes, and children under twelve years were struck until they fell. All these exploits were performed, not only on unarmed persons, but upon those having no sort of connection with the outbreak, and who had neither been ver bally nor by proclamation cautioned not to enter the streets. Among those thus ill-used were many Austrian subjects, including the dragoman of the consulate, who received a thrust from a lance in the breast while engaged in the duties of his office. After dark every civilian who left his dwelling was struck down or dragged off by the soldiers, notwith standing no orders to remain at home had been issued. In short, the military, excited by brandy and the speeches of their officers to barbarous ferocity, fulfilled the orders they received from their superiors so thoroughly, that a complete panic now obtains. A proclamation by the ministerial council was iss•zed this morning, praising the con duct of the soldiers, and the ministers have not felt ashamed to append their names to this atrocious document. The tranquility of fear and despair pre vails in the town, and the only hope of the popula tion is, that the great powers will no longer stand idly by while all human rights are thus shamefully trodden under foot in a country placed under their protection . A letter from Bucharest in the Constitutionnel says : " I have waited two days before writing to you about the disturbances here, the causes and ten dencies of which might at first appear uncertain. This day, however, all doubt is removed, as those troubles are evidently the sanguinary result of the coalition of parties in the chamber during the last three years. In presence of this coalition of the most opposite principles, public feeling cannot blame with sufficient severity those who, under a futile pretext, have lent their aid to a revolt against a Go vernment which M. Bratiano, one of the chiefs of the revolt, in a letter addressed to the Prefect of Police, calls " the expression of the national will." The object of the movement, openly acknowledged by the leaders, was the downfall of Prince Couza. In order to estimate the full signification of this programme, it may be useful to remember that the actual Chief of the State is the personification of the new regime against which all the old parties are struggling. Whatever in fact be the faults of the existing administration none can refuse it the merit of developing, with the support of the Western Powers, the principles contained in I the demands put forth by the divans ad hoc in 1857, and in the Convention of Paris in 1858, namely, equality of all before the law, universal suffrage, the rural code, and, lastly, union. The late revolt, had it triumphed, would by the force of circumstances have become a revolution. Did then the insurgents, in overthrowing Prince Alexander, hope to preserve the exisiting institutions ? If such a thought could have entered their minds, the same idea certainly did not guide the more practical men of the party with which the liberals have erroneously associated themselves. Those men know.full well that if the present order were subverted, there would be a forced march towards the restoration of the old regime, even were that impossible restoration to be carried out, as it was before, by the aid of foreign bayonets. People would be glad to see in the late revolt a purely local incident attributable to the inexperience of the authorities. Unfortu nately there is every reason to believe that it was the result of a conspiracy of discontented or ambi tious parties, themselves led on by some chiefs whose names are openly pronounced by the public. Thus we, in our turn, shall have had our " day of dupes." A communication from the same place in the Nord, written before the outbreak, accounts for the rising differently. It says : " The situation of the finances continues to inspire the greatest uneasiness. The waste in the manage ment of the public money has finished by exhausting the resources and credit of the State. Instead of retrenching useless expenditure from the budget, regulating the collection of taxes, and adopting serious measures, the ministries which have suc ceeded each other since the union have done nothing but levy new imposts, which, while paralysing the productive forces of the country, have hardly been of any avail in relieving the treasury, The presept Minister, M. Crezalesco, being at the end of his resources, has finished by introducing the tobacco monopoly. He was himself formerly opposed to the project, which had been already presented by the preceding Cabinet, and which he withdrew on his accession to power. The adoption of this new tax will not fail to excite great discontent. The mode of applying the decree is besides as objec tionable as the measure itself is in principle ; the holders of tobacco, among whom are a large number of foreigners, will be bound to deliver up their mer chandise annually by the Ist August at fixed prices, against a payment partly in cash (from 5 to 20 per cent., according to the quantity) and partly in Treasury bonds payable at from three to 12 months. The enemies of Prince Couza appear to be prepar ing to take advantage of those causes of discontent. The radical fraction of the opposition is especially provoking a decisive action, although its influence has considerably diminished for some time past. A certain agitation which might be taken for the pre cursor of a serious movement is felt throughout the country. LITERATURE. The Isthmus of Panama. By Chales Toll Bidwell, F. R. G. S. British Vice - Consul at Panama. One vol., pp. 419. Chapman and Hall. Like Punch's famous advice to persons about to marry—" Don't !"—is Mr. Bidwell's counsel to would-be visitors to Panama. "He who visits the isthmus of Panama," he tells us, " must not aspire to great enjoyment, intellectual or physical, present or future. The attractions of the place to visitor or traveller are few indeed." " Those are," he adds, " more fortunate who may study the country by their own firesides." To such Mr. Bidwell here presents a most attractive history of an unattractive place. " Would that I could write," he exclaims, in his introduction, " as the Panama newspaper boasts to do— For the cause that lacks assistance For the wrong that needs resistance, For the future in the distance, And the good that I may do !" We are glad to find Panama so well off in the Press department! Without aspiring to similar excel lence, the author of this elaborate volume has, by the help of a light and pleasant style, well selected extracts from Irving, Warburton, Prescott, and others of the best writers on Columbus and America, added to copious and authentic informa tion respecting the Panama of the present day (gathered from his own experience as vice consul at Panama), furnished the reading public with a very delightful book on a somewhat unpromising subject. During a recent visit to England, the writer (fresh from Panama himself) was astonished and amused at the ignor ance of his countrymen upon that, to him, familiar topic. " One gentleman, a member of Parliament, inquired, with perfect innocence, whether Panama was one of the Northern or Southern States of America, and how it would probably be affected by the unhappy quarrel between the States !" With Mr. Bidwell's volume, in easy access at the library, no such ignorance need any longer be lamented. Characters and Criticisms ; a Book of Miscel lanies. By James Hannay. One Vol., p. 323. Nimmo. The articles in this volume are singularly various in character, and all of them, as the author's name may testify, sufficiently interesting and attractive in manner and material. Plutarch and Thackeray, Sir Ralph Abercrombie and Lord Amberley, Cap tain Speke and Tom Duncombe, we cite as a few specimens of the diversified character of the bio graphical criticisms, while among papers of a dif ferent class are " a Letter to an Administrative Reformer" (breathing a spirit somewhat akin to Lord John'Manners's too famous lines on " The old Nobility"), Dutch Presbyterianism," " the Scottish New-Year's Day," " Changes of Name and Sur name," "The Irish Abroad," "The Scottish Sunday Question," and many more than we can enumerate. While the political opinions advocated by Mr. Hannay will not find favour with all readers (our selves among the number), his agreeable style, and the interest of the subjects he has selected, render his book an agreeable acquisition to the Travellers Library. 71w History of a Bit of Bread; being Letters to a Child on the Life of Men and Animals. By Jean Mae 6. Translated by Mrs. Gatty. 2 vols. Saunders and Otley. Taking a Bit of Bread for his theme, M. Jean Mace has, in a series of interesting letters, initiated the children of France into all the mysteries of anato mical nature, both with regard to men and animals. The first volume is devoted to man, and describes all the marvels of the human form—the band, the tongue, the heart, &c., with chapters on atmo spheric pressure, animal heat, the composition of the blood, &c. Vol. 2 gives similar elaborate and interesting information regarding the various mem bers of the animal kingdom, from mammalia to fishes and reptiles, to which is sub joined some particulars on " the nourishment of plants." M. Mace's work has been adopted by the University Commission at Paris, among their prize -books, and has reached an eighth edition. Mrs. Gatty has introduced it in a most pleasing and attractive manner to the English Public, and the two volumes, which are issued together or separately, will, we doubt not, prove instructive to the youthful learner. Although written in the form of " Letters to a Child," both the subject and the mode of treatment are far above the understanding and appreciation of any children worthy of the name. As the Teetotaller refused to drink his friend's health at the expense of his own, we are inclined to think that any un happy precocious infants to whom this Bit of Bread may be prematurely administered will assuredly become acquainted with the mysteries of the physical organisation of man and the in ferior animals, to the manifest deterioration of their own. To our thinking children had better illustrate by example rather than demonstrate in theory the great laws of nature,—physical orga nisation and animal vitality. THE REFORM LEAGUE.--The executive committee of the above league met at their rooms, 8, Adelphi terrace, Strand, on Friday evening last—Edmond Beales, Esq., president, in the chair. The minutes of the last meeting having been confirmed, the secretary read the cor respondence from Glasgow, Neath, Grantham, Notting ham, Brighton, Chester, Southampton, Poplar, Plaistow, Plymouth, Bishop-Auckland, and Caine in Wiltshire. The secretary brought up a preliminary report of tho sub committee on the conference, containing suggestions as to the time when the conference shall be held, persons eligible to attend its sittings, the principal topics to bo discussed, a plan of organisation, the public demonstration, and the deputation to the Prime Minister. Some discus sion having taken place on the above suggestions, the re port was referred back to the sub-committee, to be presented in a more complete form at the sitting of the council. In accordance with a previous notice of motion, it was re solved—That the secretary present a weekly account of income and expenditure to the executive committee. It was;also resolved—That secretaries of branch associations be instructed to secure halls or rooms for weekly lectures, under the auspices of the league, and to make such other arrangements as may bo necessary for their success. A list of lectures to be furnished on application to be secretary. The secretary reported the opening of a new branch at Paddington on Wednesday evening last, and successful arrangements with the Nottingham Reform Union. MR. SALA IN GLASGOW.—Ulysses has yielded to the syrens. Despite the pious horror with which Scotland has hitherto regarded the poets and philosophers of Hampstead Heath, we learn that she has invited ono of the cockney school to teach in one of her own temples. What would Christopher North say to the following para. graph which we quote from the Reader ?—"Mr. G. A. Sala will deliver three lectures at Glasgow, towards the close of September and the first week of October, on "Three Phases of Civilisation : the United States, Mexico, and Algeria.' K now i ng , in common with the rest of news paper readers, that Mr. Sala had remitly been photograph ing the people of America in the midst of war,' Mexico, and Algeria, the directors of the Glasgow Atheneum ven tured to suggest those countries as the subjects of the lectures. This was readily agreed to, with the addition of the general title given above. We understand that these lectures aro to be delivered exclusively in Glasgow." NEW MODE OF PREVENTING THE Cow DISEASE.— An Edinburgh paper says :—" We may mention that a cow feeder in Thorneybank, one of whose cows was yesterday observed to have gone off its food, was at once despatched to the islaughter-Lowe and killed:" finirt t - Etrtilbr . - Foreign Courts. BERNE, Aug. 23. A letter received here from Frauenfeld says : " Yesterday afternoon (Sunday) the Emperor and Empress, accompanied by the Grand Duke of Baden and the Queen of Wurtemberg, made an excursion upon the Bodensee, from which they returned to the Castle of Arenemberg at six in the evening. His Majesty telegraphed to the singing club of Stock born, which speedily attended and sang several songs, and was then hospitably entertained by the Emperor. The Imperial pair leave this morning for Lucerne, intending thence to ascend the Righi, or pass into the Bernese Oberland over the Brunig. The Empress is said to have a great desire to see the mountains." PRINCE MICHAEL OF SERVIA.—The reigning Prince Michael of Servia and his wife the Princess Julia have separated by mutual accord. The Prince has had no children by his wife. The Princess Julia, formerly Coun tess Hunyady, will take up her residence at Vienna, where the arrangements concluded with Prince Michael before the separation will enable her to maintain a large establish ment. The Prince Julia is aged 28. The Duke of Somerset arrived at his official resi dence at the Admiralty, Whitehall, yesterday, from accom panying the fleet to Cherbourg and Brest. The Earl de Grey arrived yesterday at his house in Carlton-gardens, from attending in the suite of the naval squadron to Cherbourg and Brest. Lord Lyons does not leave for Constantinople, to enter upon his diplomatic duties as ambassador, until the week after next. Prince and Princess Vogorides have left town to spend a few weeks at St. Leonard's-on-Sea. His Excellency the Turkish Ambassador left the Turkish Embassy yesterday to join Madame Musurus and family at St. Leonard's. THE ROYAL MAUSOLEUM AT FROG3IORE.—The works of the royal mausoleum at Frogmore, the burial place of the Prince Consort, which have been in progress since the laying of the foundation stone by her Majesty, on the 15th of March, 1862, are gradually verging towards completion. The walls of the interior are adorned with coloured marbles, which will be combined with frescoes and other decorations. THE ALBERT MEMORIAL CHAPEL WINDOW, WINDSOR GASTLE.—Several of the cartoons by Messrs. Clayton and Bell, of Regent-street, from which the mosaic pictures of the sovereigns of England are to be ex ecuted by Dr. Salviati, have, it is understood, been for warded to Venice. On the arrival of the mosaics in Eng land they will be placed in the panels of the interior west wall, and will form a work of splendid and georgeour decoration. One panel, representing King Henry 111., has already been placed in the chapel, and has an excellent effect. Death of Mrs. Fraser, Mother-in-Law of Hugh Miller. (From the Inverness Courier) In our obituary this week will be found an announce ment of the death of the above lady, which took place *t Drummond, in the vicinity of Inverness, on Friday last. Mrs. Fraser was great-grandchild to the celebrated John Hossock, Provost of Inverness, about the days of the " Forty-five," and afterwards styled the Sir Robert Wal pole of the North, from the able assistance he afforded to the Lord President Forbes in guiding and ordering matter) after that unhappy period. Without his advice, the Presi dent especially, left it as his dying injunction to his gout " to do nothing." Provost Hossock married one of the Cuthberts of Castle hill, and by her had two daughters, one of whom married Phineas Mackintosh, of the Kalachies in Strathdearn, Ness-side, and Drummond, near Inverness. He purchased the estate of Drummond from the Town Council of Inver ness, and built the house upon it about the time of the birth of the lately-deceased Mrs. Fraser. Dying childless' the bulk of his property went to his nephew, Mackintosh of Holm. Hossock's other daughter married the Rev. Murdoch Mackenzie, of the High Church, Inverness, one of tho old family of Redcastle. These were the grand-parents of the deceased lady. Mrs. Fraser was possessed of uncommon powers of mind and memory ; perhaps no one had a more accurate know ledge of the origin and genealogical history of the various families about Inverness. There were of course many in teresting reminiscences connected with her own famil}'• Among others, it is curious to know that her mo ther opened the first Northern Meeting in a minuet with her cousin, Mrs. Davidson, of Cantray (Mary Cuthbert, of Castlehill). It was in religious matters, however, and especially those connected with the first spread of Evan gelical truth in the Highlands, that the traditional know ledge and memory of the deceased were most remarkable. From her own lips her son, the Rev. Thomas Mackenzie Fraser, formerly of Yester and Singapore, now of the High Church, Geelong, gathered those interesting memorials of the olden time, "Muckle Kate," Th• Soldier of Fort George," &c., which have become so popular in the form of tracts. Her son-in-law, Hugh Miller, refers to her, though not by name, in his story of " The Young Surgeon," as she through whose instrumentality that re markable young man was led to abandon his wild and reckless life, and made a true disciple of the Cross. MMrs• Fraser herself was early brOught to a knowledge of the truth by the preaching of the Rev. Dr. Payne, of Kiltarlity—a very dear personal friend—and was enabled through a long life to hold fast the profession of her faith without wavering, and to give ample testimony,during he r last trying illness, of the power of faith in the Redeemer to support in a dying hour. MR. DAVID URQUHART IN SWITZERLAND.---A correspondent of the Abeille de Chamonix writes thus :—" At Saint Gervais I had heard that a rival of M• M. Nicolai was building an amateur chalet on the plan of the Melezes, between Forclaz and Prarion. I wanted to see the chalet of Mr. Urquhart, about whom everybody iS talking in the valley. For Mr. Urquhart has not come to live on the Alpine mountains from mere curiosity. go has taken on himself a noble mission ; his creative mind has already laid out a garden around his chalet, where 1 1 ° will try the cultivation of the kitchen garden plants of the north of Eurape, a plantation of young trees where there will be the cedars of Lebanon, the Wellingtonia gigantea o f Andes, and the rarest coniferous plants of the Himalaya' Thanks to Mr. Urquhart, Prarion will have its acclimstisa tion garden, which will be as valuable for the mountains as that of the Bois do Boulogne is for the plain. I can predict that he will be successful, and obtain the gratitud e of the public. If I tell you that since his arrival IKr' Urquhart has been a sort of providence to the poor of the parish, you will not be astonished to hear that he 1 10 g already won the sympathy of all. I leave you to judge if my curiosity was not excusable. Heaven evidently did not look upon it as culpable, for it was propitious to rae: I had the good fortune to meet Mr. Urquhart at the chalet of the Melezes, the honours of which he did with his natural urbanity and gentlemanly courtesy." ABD-EL-KADER AT BREST.—The latest account from Brest up to the 23d inst. are satisfactory The weather continues very favourable, its only fai t being that it was rather too calm for the second day ° I the regatta, which was Tuesday. Abd-el-Kader paid 01 formal visit to the French Minister of Marine on board the ReMe Hortense, and was saluted by the guns of the Sol fertile and tho shore battery. The calm lasted till S p. 1134 and was taken advantage of for the races of row boats. .10 half-past 3 a smart breeze sprung up from the S.S.W4 and enabled the sailing vessels to make their way t ° the starting point, and take their turn in the rega ttP Meanwhile Abd-el-wader visited the English and Frenc h Admiral's ship. Each vessel when he left it saluted hie/ with 13 guns, the French flag run up at the mizen. A s hot* battery replied to these salutes.
