In fact, the franchise part of the bill seems to have been completed, with the changes and alterations that were yesterday introduced into it. Mr. POULETT-SCROPE'S amendment has been a failure, which is as well under the circumstances, for it did not seem to improve the state of things, but rather to introduce fresh obstacles in the way. Mr. BRIGHT distinguished himself by a speech, which Mr. DISRAELI characterised as a piece of " incoherent conciliation," in the course of which he entered at some length into the question of Reform, and took a retrospective glance at matters which did not by right belong to the business before the House. Perhaps some allowance must be made for the hon. member on account of his previous disap pointments ; but he seems, on the whole, to be in that state of mind in which regret and satisfaction are contending for the mastery. He is pleased that the vexed question of Reform should be settled in so promising a manner, and yet vexed that the affair should have been arranged by those it has been his wont to designate the sworn enemies of all reform. WiLh the excep tion of a few occasions, Mr. BRIGHT has not shown himself adverse:to the bill of the Ministers, and then he was evidently led astray or put into an awkward position through the indi,cretion and intemperance of those with whom he acted. At the meeting at Mr. GLADSTONE'S, where the right hon. gentleman was proposing to proceed to extremities rather than let the bill go into committee, Mr. BRIGHT evi dently disapproved of the course proposed, awl inti- _-- - mated that he had thought they had turned the corner in the awkward task of getting through the introduction of a Reform Bill into the House of Commons. We believe that of the two Mr. GLADSTONE is MOM really averse to the measure of Government than his vehement friend ; but last night both the one and the other complimented the Chancellor of the Exchequer upon the success of hid scbeme. The right hon. gentleman may well plume himself upon these acknowledgments, tardy though they may be, and intermixed with sarc.am, if not censure of some parts of the bill. After the very unfitting manner in which Mr. BRIGHT has often expressed himself, it is a welcome change to find him giving utterance to expressions of a con trary nature. After giving some advice to those on the Ministerial benches, which was received with shouts of laughter, he concluded by addressing him self to Mr. DISRAELI in earnest and eloquent terms. "I say thatlaccept, most heartily and cordially, the propcsition for the borough franchise offered by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, supported by lion. gentlemen opposite. I believe it will be found hereafter a. great and good thing for the country, and I, who probably have given more time and attention to the qu-stion than any other man in the House, may at least be allowed' to thank the right hon. gentleman from my heart for the conclusion at which he has been able to arrive." While we recognise the frank ness with which Mr. BRIGHT has admitted the libe rality of the Government scheme, we venture to point out that his own language last night shows the mistakes that all may fall into by taking too extreme a view of any question. Mr. GLADSTONE also accorded his tribute of prase to the Government measure, declaring that, looking at' it as a whole, he could not for a moment hesitate to say "that it conferred a large, liberal, and an equal enfranchisement upon large masses of his fellow-countrymen who were perfectly qualified, in his belief, for a wise and honest exercise of the franchi.te." No doubt ►t was harder for Mr. GLADSTONE than for Mr. BRIGHT to arrive at this conclusion, because he has perpetually in his mind the irritation and annoy ance arising from the failings of last year; but we arc glad to find the statesman triumphing over the disappointed politician, and to see the tight hon. gentleman leave, what he has himself styled, the " warm and sharp contests" in the bill to discuss the general principles and of the measure." As for the fuss which was made about consistency it is a very idle argment to resort to, and in truth the inconsistency is more in vision than in reality. It is not surprising that those who have been dilatory for years upon the stubbornness ' of the Conservatives and their unwillingness to do anything for the good of the people should feel suspicious at their prophecies turning out false, but if they had not exaggerattcl so much there would have been no such discrepancy to notice. There was much in the Bill of 1858, too, that might have been made satisfactory and profitable to the community, but no doubt the measure of 1867 is better, but the thanks of the community are not due to those who persistently opposed the former scheme, for they run the risk of preventing Reform being settled for this generation, or at any rate settled in a satisfactory manner. Mr. DISRAELI was very successful in showing that his party had not been opposed to Reform in itself, but they had disapproved of the imperfect, crude, and uncertain plan of last year. Mr. BRIGHT, as he said, had claimed the right of elianf,Ting his own opinions in the space of three months, while he denied them the privilege of altering a few particulars during the 1 , lapse of ten years. It is perfectly true, as the right hon. gentleman declared, that neither he nor his colleagues ever said there was no necessity for the introduction of a rumure of Parliamentary Reform ; but the hon. member for Birmingham seeks to arrogate to himself the privilege of origin ality upon all questions of political power, and is therefore necessarily captious and critical when others presume to interfere in the matter. On Thurs day the Committee will have-hard work enough upon their hands, for they must then address them selves to the second part of the bill, and that relates to the redistribution clauses. The disfranchising propositions will, it is needless to say, give rise to much opposition, good, bad, and indifferent, as the case may be. Through all the difficulties that lie before it, however, the committee may steer with safety unto success if they only persevere in the spirit with which they have begun. The Govern ment, we are convinced, will m'ke no fruitless ob jection to any reasonable proposition, and the sense of the House has already plainly decided that they mnst be supported iu their endeavour to bring this question to a settlement. We have sympa thised with the position of the Ministry, while they were apparently far from realising their expecta-. tions, and hence we may well rejoice now that they seem to have got through the worst of the toils of the wilderness, and to behold the land bf promise if still from afar at least with distinctness. ' There seems to be little doubt, according to the intelligence brought by the Atlantic Telegraph, that the unfortunate Emperor of MEXICO has actually fallen into the hands of his enemies. A telegram, dated New York, May 27, evening, affirms that his capture was positively announced in that city, and the information was so precise as to give the very date on which the capture was effected—the 15th of May. MAXIMILIAN himself, MEnt, and MIRAMON were said to be prisoners, and a telegram of still later date—yesterday evening at six--affirms that JUAREZ has ordered the EMPEROR to be shot. %Ye may hope that this intelligence is not altogether reliable. Rumours and reports of all kinds are cer tain to be flying about under such exciting circum stances, and the statement does not bear an official character, being merely published in one of the journals. The news which we receive from America by the mail states that JUAREZ assured the mes senger sent by Mr. SEWARD that MAximiLrAN's lite should be spared if ho were captured, and un less the EMPEROR were killed in the struggle, it seems unlikely that JAUREZ would be rash enough to risk offending the Americans for the sake of ,de stroying an antagonist who is no longer formidable. The Americans have stood staunchly to the side of JUAREz, and have been powerful agents in his temporary triumph. They have refused to recog nise any other ruler in Mexico, and have brought the whole weight of their influence and authority to bear in his favour. Whether they will exert themselves still further in his behalf is at present uncertain, and the condition of Mexico does not afford much ground for the belief or expectation that the Liberal leader will be able to restore order and tranquility alone and unaided. As soon as MAXI3IILIAN is disposed of a dozen other claimants to the thorny dignity of Mexican sovereignty will be certain to spring up, and ORTEGA is already a formidable rival. Much depends on the attitude assumed by the United States, and JUAREZ can hardly afford to slight a special request on the part of their Government. The capture of the unfortunate PRINCE is greatly to be regretted, though it could scarcely have been averted. From a mistaken idea of ! onour, he de , termiaed to remain and fight to the very lad for ,____A hi s Th. -one. It was a manifest mistake, since the Throne was artificially constructed, and had its origin n either in the traditions of the country nor the wish of the people. No one could have reproaches I him with cowardice for abandoning a forlorn hop e, ar.d all that could have been done to restore big fellr.en fortunes and to tranquillise the country MA.' KIMILIAN had already endeavoured to do. \Vhatei . - er may be thought of the manner in which the M exican Empire was founded, there can be no que ition of the liberality, the courage, and the fidelity with which MAXIMILIAN endeavor rea' to discharge his duties to his adopted co Intry. But the circumstances of the MC were: desperate, and when the French troops were witl drawn all dispassionate observers could sec that the- days of the Mexican Empire were num bered. The , . rest was only a question of time, and however re: elute the stand made by the unfortunate Prince, it was from the first evident that it must be fruitless. Had the Mexicans been a different people he might, indeed, have rallied round him a con siderable form; in the party favourable to the maintenance of peace and order and indif ferent to politics. In other countries the in fluence exerted by this party has often pre vailed in maintaining a tottering dynasty or an unpopular individual. But in Mexico peace and order, security to life and property, individual rights, and the authority of civil law, were things unknown. MAXIMILIAN, indeed, did his best to restore them ; but those very efforts probably made him unwelcome to the turbulent spirits who profit by disorder and pillage. 'Civil war and revolution had long been words of course in Mexican ears, and though this very fact afforded, so far, a justification of foreign interference, it rendered the task of establishing an alien form of government, under a strange prince unacquainted with the habits, the character, the wishes of the people, an almost hopeless one from the first. Had the sudden ter mination of the American war been foreseen the French EmrEiton might have acted differently, but in those days the wisest diplomatist failed to pro phesy that the United States Government would so soon be free to throw the whole weight of their influence into the scale against the new EMPEROR. The people of the States, notwithstanding their attachment to the MONROE doctrine, are half in clined to regret what they have done. Much sympathy is expressed for MAXIMILIAN, while the condition of disorder and desolation to which Mexico is rapidly becoming reduced presses pain fully upon the public attention. Mexico, there is but too much reason to fear, will again present us with such a picture of bloodshed, and riot, and law lessness, as to call for the interference of the civilised Powers to check a general disgrace. Whether the United States will endeavour to incorporate it, or whether there will be some joint endeavour to establish a Republican form of Government by two or three Powers, remains to be The Americans have incurred the greatest share of responsibility from their recent interference in the matter, and after the experience of the Empire few European Powers will care to dispute the question. But. Mexico, rich and fertile as it is, and great and powerful as it may hereafter become, will be at present a source of weakness rather than strength to any nation that attempts to influence its destinies ; and it may be doubted whether America is in a position to undertake so troublesome a responsibility. The mail from New York gives us anything but a settled picture of the American interior. Riots and political disturbances are common, and more than once the civil authorities have found it necessary to appeal to the military for assistance. It is a fact worthy of notice th3t the negroc3 who usually take a prominent part in these turmoils are generally found to be armed. The amended Mississippi peti tion to the Supreme Court for an injunction to re strain the carrying out of the Reconstruction Act, has been finally dismissed, the court declaring that it had no jurisdiction in the matter. A truer answer would have been that the Chief Justice had no desire to entangle himself in the affair as to embroil himself with the Radicals. The task of maintaining law and order cannot be a very easy one under existing circumstances, for we find that Judge STARKEY is endeavouring to procure an indictment against General ORD for treason against the State of Mississippi. It is well that the Ame ricans are accustomed to self-government and the observance of law, but it is a dangerous symptom when public authorities disagree among themselves. CORRESPONDENCE FROiI PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDT,NT.) PARIS, Tuesday Evening. Oa Sanday the Emperor received at the Tuileries a deputation from the Society of EnglSh Tourists, when the President of the Society had the honour of presetting the following address to him :—" Sire, It is with a real feeling of pride that I approach your Majesty to introduce the persons to whom you have so graciously given permission to offer their homage to you. The English workmen, sire, come to France with the products of the industry of their country to exhibit them by the side of the articles of industry of France, and other countries, to com pare them, and to derive fresh emulation from that comparison. " Sire,—They come to look at the brilliant capital, so much embellished by your hands ; but they come, above all, to reciprocate with the French workmen the sentiments of cordiality which unite all the sons of industry. " God, who disposes of all events, only knows if the benefits of peace, which your Majesty has pro claimed as being the mission of his vast Empire, may be preserved to Europe. " But, sire, the men whom I present to-day to your Majesty anxiously hope, fur their own country, and for themselves, that the ardent demonstration of international courtesy will be successful in en tirely destroying antiquated national rancours which the progress of civilisation, the impetus to which, directed by your Majesty, has hitherto been power ful enough to repress. "The gracious reception given by your Majesty to the industry of England will form a new element of concord and friendship, and your Majesty may be certain that with the same sentiments of loyalty with which we are animated towards our own well beloved Sovereign, our hearts join in the same ardent wishes fur your health and that of the Em press and the Imperial Prince." It is st tted from Vienna that the last bulletins respecting the health of the Archduchess Matilda have dispelled the fears which naturally arose in consequence of the late accident. Letters from Jerusalem mention that the ceremo nies of the Holy week of the Latin, Greek, and Armenian clergy, as well as the Easter fetes, were accomplished with order and devotion. A painful incident, however, has thrown the European colony into mourning. Madame Stephen Bey, the widow of the, former Minister of Foreign Affairs of his Highness the Viceroy of Egypt, who was on a pilgrimage in Jerusalem, died suddenly at JoUrdain. By the care of the French Consul-Geueral and the local authorities a funeral service was celebrated in the church of the central convent of Saint Souvenir to the memory of Madame Stephen Bey, who was of French origin, and her rem tins were interred in the Latin Cemetery at Jerusalem. Monsigneur Philippes, the new Catholic Syrian Patriarch, who is returning to Mardin, where his See is situated, has arrived at Damascus, where he intended to stay a few days. It is announced by telegram from Berlin that the evacuation of the fortress of Luxembourg by the THE SIJN, LoriLON, WEDNESDAY El' ENING, MAY 29 1867 Prussian troops was commenced on Saturday. The Prussian troops are also to evacuate Saxony, leaving garrisons, however, at Dresden, Kcenigstein, Leipsic, and Bautzen. The reason for this latter precaution does not seem to be known. It is stated that a good feeling existed between these Saxon cities and the Prussian troops. On the other hand, at Luxembourg there is a great desire for their de parture. The question respecting the execution of article 5 of the Treaty of Prague, the difficulty in regard to which I have noticed, begins to assume a phase of more importance than was supposed. The Minister of Prussia at Copenhagen, M. de Heyde brawl, has had a conference upon the subject with M. Frys-Frysenborg, president of the Council of Ministers in Denmark, but the result is not yet known in Paris. Some well-informed journals have, however, expressed apprehensions upon the subject, and allude to several eireumstance, which lead to the belief that there will b.; dully, if not difficulty, on the part of Prussia in carrying out this important provision of the Treaty, although the point is simple and plain. The French ship Arequipa has brought to Havre from Callao 29 copper vases, which were &covered during some arclare ,logical researches in the envi rons of Lima. These vases are in the form of jars, and weigh each nearly a pound. About 274 similar articles hating been found near the same locality, is is believed that they belonged to a necropolis of Incas, which contained Indian mummies such as are now frequently found in Peru. At all events they are evidently of great antiquity. It is believed that these vases are alloyed with a considerable por tion of silver. The first rowing matches of tho season of the Paris Rowing Club took place on Sunday opposite the island of Billancourt. The Rowing Club prize was won by Hirondelle, the Prix d'lssy by Emerande, the Prix de l'lle St. Germain by Con drillon, the Prize Cup by Rose, and the Bellevue Prize by Luting. The Union is a religious journal, and, albeit un • used to the facetious mood, it tells an anecdote which is more gay than grave. An eating house keeper, in a country village, the other day bought a very fine turkey, and, with a view to attract cus tomers to the dinner, which was to take place at his house on the succeeding day, he wrote a large pla card which he intended to place round the turkey's neck and parade it through the town. The bill announced that the dinner would be a franc a head. There was an N. 8., with the words, "It is forbid • den to touch the animal." Just as our innkeeper was about to hang the notice round the turkey's neck, the chief magistrate of the commune came into the house to take his glass, and the innke•;per hastily threw the bill on the chair. The magistrate finished his wine, and left, but in a few minutes shouts of laughter were heard. There was a crowd in front of him who were intensely merry, but when he turned round the laughter was increased and soon grew " fast and furious." The grave authority was equally vexed and astonished, particularly as some of the police officers were prominent in their mirth and hilarity. The bill, which htd been ready pasted for the turkey, had stuck to the tail of the magistrate's coat, and the notice that the bearer of it would be roasted for dinner the next day could be re td by all the astonished villagers. When the grave magistrate caught sight of the bill his rage was terrible, and he was particularly angry with one of the men, whom he asked the reason why he did not tear away the notice from his coat. The man replied, with much gravity, pointing to the N. 8., " The bill says it is forbidden to touch the animal." The Presve of Vienna contains a letter from Jassy, dated May 3, announcing somo rather serious disturbances in the latter town. Bands paraded the streets, and there was a demonstration against the Jews, the cause of which is not stated. The Consuls of England, Austria, and Russia had made strong protests to the Minister Bratiano upon the subject. The laying out of the two French parterres in the park, near the Porte Rapp, the centre of which is occupied by colossal statues of Charlemagne and Dom Pedro, is now completed, and they all much to the beauty of the aspect of that portion of the park. The aquarium in the reservel garden has been filled with fish. A scientific commission has been formed, which includes members of the Observatory, the Institute, and the College of France, to arrange the meteoro logical experiments which Nadar is about to com mence with his great balloon, the Giant, and his s t Cylinde r. heweather to-day ha s b een as I astonishingag reeabl e. e change nog a balloon, the in h it islt has been a warm s ummer day, w hich seems to h ave a tt racte d h a l f b t Paris to the Exhibit ion, for I have never yet seen it so full. It has been enlivened by the presence of a large body of the Francs Tireurs des Vosges. The institution of this band of volunteers took place in 1791 and 1792, when there was a grand levy of volunteers in France. The department of the Vosges, animated with patriotic zeal, raised 15 battalions, who served in almost all the armies of the Moselle and the Rhine during the first wars of the Revolution. In 1815 this force served during 100 days, and the present force is a continuation of it. The men in their picturesque costumes were at till Exhibition to-day, and partook of an excellent breakfast in one of the restaurants near the Porte St. Dominique. Their arms and baggage lay out side. At intervals their band played some enliven ing and patriotic airs, and their presence added considerably to the pleasures and novelty of the Exhibition to-day. Each day there is some change, some novelty, some fresh attraction at this marvel lous and unparalleled Exhibition. Visitors may go every day, and will find that it improves upon ac quaintance, for familiarity w i t h it does not " stale its infinite variety." On the contrary, the more you see of it the more you like it. RITUALISM. -o-= The following reply from his Grace the Arch bishop of York has been received in answer to a memorial, adopted and numerously signed at a public meeting recently held at Birkenhead, by lay members of the Church of England, to protest against the practices and innovations of the Ritualists : _ " Copy, " Bishopthorpe, York, May 15. " Gentlemen,--I have to thank you sincerely for the memorial you have dune me the favour to aderess to me, and for the manner you speak of me therein. "My own opinions upon the practices to which you refer are well known, and I am happy to think that they are in conformity with the resolutions respecting them which have been adopted by by the two Convocations of Canterbury and York. " Little disposed to religious controversy, from knowing the bitterness it engenders, I am not likely to take any very a c ti ve p ar t in it, but I shall not be deterred, I t rus t , b y attac k s of remarkable acri mony from doi ng what little I can to pre s e rve and hand down th e d octr i nes an d w orship of the Re formed Church, _ pure as when we rece i v ed it, to those that shall come after. " Your promi se o f suppor t s hows that laymen are beginning to s u p p ly that interest in the q uestion which has been somew h a t lacking hitherto. The danger is great, if it is diminishing, and it is well that all classes should awake to it, for it concerns the interests of all. " I pray that your hearts and minds may be pre served by the spirit of truth, and peace, and love ; and with grateful thanks for the expression of your goodwill I will ask that you offer the same prayer for me in this time of the Church's trouble.—l have the honour to be, geatlemee, your very faithful servant, " W. EBOR." TIIE ARRESTS IN HANOVER.—A Berlin letter has the following :—" It is now evident that the extent of the conspiracy just discovered in Hanover has been exagge rated. More precise information will very soon show that the effort of that part of the Hanoverian nobility which kept up relations with King George and Queen Mary have had but very limited success. Moreover, it is announced that the letters and despatches seized by the Prussian Government contained an order given by Kiog George to ceace all effurts to form a corps of volunteers, but to main tain and organise in a solid manner the relations already established in the country."

Mr. Barrett, the officer of coastguard, reports, that the lifeboat Gertrude, of the National Lifeboat Institution, on this station, was the means yesterday of saving the lives of the whole of the crew, con sisting of 36 men, of the ship Blanche Moore, of Liverpool, bound from that port to Calcutta. The vessel was observed to be in distress on the Long Bank, off Wexford, about 5 p.m. The lifeboat was immediately launched, and proceeded across the bank, on which the sea was running very high. She anchored on the lee side of the ship, and at once commenced to rescue her crew, but while thus en gaged the ship surged on the anchor of the boat, and the lifeboat men were ,forced to cut the cable however they succeeded in taking into the boat as many of the crew as possible, and the remainder went in the two boats belonging to the ship. The lifeboat then took the lead, and acted as guide to those boats across the shoal, and finally the whole of the shipwrecked men were safely landed in Bally geary Bay. had it not been for the prompt ser vices of the lifeboat many of the poor fellows must have perished, as at daylight the vessel was seen to be full of water, and had settled down on the sands. The sea is still running heavily. THE PUBLIC HEALTH. (From the Registrar-General's Return.)

LITERATURE. NEW NOVELS. Irene's Repentance. By Christian Eyre, 2 vole. Hurst and Blackett. This is a charming little domestic tale, very simple, and as the title-page tells us " unenriched with strange events," and yet, as the ssme autho rity with equal justice adds, " not unfit for the fireside or for the summer shade." When we first meet Irene she is almost a school -girl, and is per suaded by her mother, who is starting for India, to consent to a hasty marriage, which, according to the proverb, is generally the prelude of a leisurely repentance. How Irene does repmt, and how, better still, she wisely repents of her repentance, we 3hall not here relate. Young maidens and young wives may both learn a lesson from her story, and the story itself is so natural, aril is so delight- Lily told, that its perusal will afford pleasure to many readers. The very disagreeable sisters of the hero are, we cannot but think, overdrawn. Their rudeness to their sister-in-law almost amounts to insolence, and is beyond the bounds of probability. Mrs. Cunningham, the formidable mother-in-law, is more natural. This lady is a model housekeeper, and is delighted to instruct and victimise the ignorant bride. Some of her advice, however unpalatable to Irene, is neverthe less sufficiently practical and sensible in the main. " My dear," exclaims the matter-of-fact mother-in. law, on one occasion, " if you begin to talk of your spirits at nineteen by the time you are twenty you will be talking of your nerves. In my old-fashioned opinion, spirits is only the modern word for what used to be called tempers, and nerves the polite term for whims. Our grandmothers never had spirits or nerves. Take my advice, and when your spirits are bad turn out a closet, or make a pudding, or dust your drawing-room, or label your jams. You will soon forget your spirits. But beware of one thing —never think to cure them by sal volatile, or cam phor julep, or weak brandy and water, or bottled ale. Nothing is more certain to make them return. Throw your heart into your duties. Take a pride in your house, and make your husband's 2omfort your first thought, and you won't have time for nerves." Mrs. Cunningham, in other words, recom mends that infallible receipt for the " Spleen." so pregnant with epigrammatic wit and practical wisdom—" fling but a stone, the giant dies." We have said enough to assure our fair readers that they will have no cause to repent an acquaintance with " Irene's Repentance." the Loyalist's Daughter. By a Royalist. Four Vols. Adams and Francis. A novel in four volumes is a very unusual sight in the present day; but it is no mere book-making that has lengthened out this very interesting his torical romance. Its composition has evidently been throughout a labour of love. The author tells us at the conclusion, with somewhat of an explana tory apology, that the story had extended itself from two volumes into three, and from three into four, almost imperceptibly, and quite unavoidably on his part. lie did not write for the sake of pro ducing a book, but because he had something to tell, and so wrapt up were his thoughts in the inte rest of his narrative that the manner of the narrative became forgotten in the matter. Those who read the tale will not be disposed to criticise its length. It is full of intense interest throughout. As an historical work relating to the civil wars in England in the time of Jamei IL it possesses con 6iderable value. The intricate mazes of historical romance are pursued not only with a very remark able ingenuity, bat in a spirit of moderation and justice which cannot but commend itself to readers of all parties and all opinions. IVe do not propose to enter into the plot of the story. A few lines of explanation could not do jusice to a narrative of four volumes, but we may very heartily commend the impartial spirit in which the book is written, ind the very great ability with which the historical romance h is been constructed. Constance Rivers. By Lady Barrett Lmnard. Three Vols. Hurst it , nl Illackett. Whatever other merits or demerits may be pos 3CSSed by this' new novel, it may cert'tinly lay claim to being the fastest, the most dashing, and the most daring of the fast sensational novels of the day. With the spirit and the impetus of an express en gine the narrative rushes on, but not like an express engine within a given range ; to quot e th e t i t l e o f ano ther recent novel—it is "Off the Line" through out—off the line of probability and even o f possi bility--off the line of conventional deco r u m an d ev en of moral propriety ! The vivid descriptions of a soldier's life in the Crimea and in India will, for the moment, rivet the attention of the reader, but the wonderful improbability of the tale and the glar ing impropriety of some of the scenes and incidents are such that we cannot predict for " Constance Rivers " either respect as a work of sentiment or admiration as a work of art. ~ I lec's Bride. By the author of " St. Olave's." Three Vols. Hurst and Blackett. No two books could be more dissimilar than the story we have just been considering and this tale of " Alec's Bride." The one was " fast" in the very fastest possible interpretation of the word, and the other, although written by the very charming author of " St. Olave's" and " Janita's Cross," and other very delightful works, is so quiet and so unsensational, as almost (as a story) to merit tho epithet of slow. Like Canning's knife-grinder, of famous memory, the author of " Alec's Bride" might well exclaim " Story ! Lord bless me, I have none to tell." Yet quiet and uneventful as is the tenour o f her way, the history of Alec's Bride is not wholly devoid of interest and attraction. There is a pleasure in contemplating such pictures of still life, when drawn by a hand so skilful and so delicate in its minute touches as is that of the gifted author of " St. Olave's. " Very delightful is the portrait of Miss Phillis Chicory, the good maiden aunt, who has the care of the somewhat impetuous and self willed heroine. Aunt Phillis, we are told " had long ago learned the wisdom—than which the very greatest philosopher on earth can find no greater —of doing the duty which lay nearest to her, and trusting for light when that was done to see the next. If every woman did her duty as faithfully, and trimmed her little lamp as constantly as Aunt Phillis did, not murmuring that the duty was so mean or the limp so tiny, there would be less stumbling in the world, less crying out for light, fewer complaints over the darkness and dreariness of the way." Briars and Thorns. A Novel. By Blanche Marryat Three Vols. Saunders, Utley, ani Co. Full of briars and thorns indeed are the path ways in this novel. In real life we are fain to be lieve that every cloud has a silver lining, that thorns and roses, briars and blooms, are ordinary although incongruous companions. Not so, however, in the histories of the hapless heroines of the tale before us ; no sunshine enlightens their cloud-land ; no roses are mingled with their thorns. • Thorns and briars alone mark the unhappy course laid down for them by relentless fate and an inexorable authoress. The only comfort we can experience in the con templation of these sufferings, and a poor comfort it is, is the knowledge that their troubles, in the one instance at all events, are richly deserved. In the melancholy chapter entitled " Retribution," in which a sad catastrophe roLz a mother of her children, we cannot but remember while she heart-broken with anguish that the , children's life was a !natter of more affliction than their death ; for her forsaken husband is in a distant land, and the father of these children, her companion in sin and sorrow, has, for her sake, deserted another wife. Well may briars and thorns spring up in a foot path so selected. The descriptions in this narrative are some of them full of interest, but the story itself is singularly unattractive. Proverbial Philosophy. Third Series. By Martin F. Tupper. One vol., pp. 311. Moxon. After thirty years' silence, the Proverbial Philo sopher again addresses his friends and admirers. To them, and their name is legion, these fresh utterances of wit and wisdom--quaint, and even at times uncouth, as is their expression --will be --- - right welcome. In the preamble to this new the author thus accosts his friends:— " Again, towards the eventide of life, I touch that rhythiwie harp Struck by the son of Sirach twenty centuries atone; Again I ask thy favour—thou my brother or my sister: Not as a stranger, but now a friend of thirty years ; Again I ask for my words thy patience and thy love.' Then recapitulating the joys and sorrows, the trials and temptations of the past thirty years, he congratulates himself and his readers that they-- " - still stand to fight the fight if faint, thank God, pursuing; Still is life with half its hopes, and nll its mercies ourg;, Therefore gratitude and penitence, faith, and hop -, ana charity, These well become us each as friends reviewing' an that past." We cannot but think the matter contained in this voh ltune immeasurably superior to the manner in whic d it is expounded. We cannot admire the rug" style, but all must concur with the excellent teach ing which it sets forth. " Little Providences" and " Smaller Morals" are forcible examples of what we have said. While the spirit that pervades therm' reminding us how "sometimes gleaming in the darkness we note that shadowy Hand," and " the glory of God is in the highest, Ills glory is als o is the lowliest"—while this spirit is akin to that which recognised " sermons in stones and goo d ill everything," the hand that describes them is as matter-of-fact as that of the dreariest pre-Raphaelite dilating upon " even the pattern of a carpet, e ven , the paper of a room." Nevertheless, in spit e these drawbacks, after thirty years' silence, We are glad again to welcome Martin Tupper. As he himse l f says, " A book is in no sort like a cable, to bo judge d by its weakest inch. A chain to be condemned through out, because some links are faulty." Recogni sing the faults and flaws we are ready also to admit th e merits and to welcome again with cordial greeting the old friend of " thirty years ago."
