The opinion of the House of Commons respect ing the Canadian Loan was last night unmistakeably expressed, and we hope that the vote will not be without its effect on the other side of the Atlantic. Despite the elaborate arguments of some crotchety philosophers, and the short-sighted economy of timorous financiers, there is no doubt that the pre vailing sentiment in this country is heartily in favour of giving prompt and cordial assistance to our colonies in time of need. More especially does this fueling display itself when the assistance asked is only supplementary to the efforts of the colonies them selves, and all they want from us is that moral support and encouragement which costs us so little and is worth so much to them. When a parent has esta blished his son in the world he naturally expects to be called upon for assistance from time to time, not only in money but as a reference, an authority, a guardian ; and so our colonists while exerting themselves to the utmost in their own behalf have a right to look to the old country as a friend in re serve who can be confidently appealed to. The favour asked in this case is no very great one to a nation like our own. It is simply " That the Com missioners of her MAJESTY'S Treasury be authorised to guarantee interest at a rate not exceeding 4 per cent. per annum on any principal money not exceed. ing £3,000,000 btei ling to be raised by loan by the Go vernment of Canada for the construction of a rail way connecting Quebec and Halifax." The advan tages of such a line are too obvious to need recapitu lation. Mr. ADDERLEY, in moving the resolution, gave some interesting particulars. The expenses, including the cost of construction, the payment of the interest and the sinking fund of 1 per cent., would amount in all to £210,000 per annum. The security for this is the consolidated revenue of Canada, and, as Mr. ADDERLEY reminded the House, she has upon all occasions been able and ready to meet her engagements. When, in 1842, England guaranteed the loan of a million and a half for public works, the revenue of Canada was only £300,000 a year. With that revenue, however, Canada paid off the loan nine years before it became due. Her revenue is now £2,500,000, and her progress in every respect has been steady, though rapid. Between 1851 and 1864 the tonnage of vessels entering the North American ports has increased from one and a half millions to two and a half mil lions ; the exports from four to forty million dol lars ; the imports, exclusive of bullion, from nine million dollars to twenty-one millions. The number of letters has doubled, the population has nearly doubled, and in every department of national pro gress the most satisfactory advance has been made. The national debt, which has been incurred entirely for public works of a remunerative character, amounts only to about £12,000,000, and is decreasing under the influence of a sinking fund. Every precaution hiss been taken for the protection of tie imperial interests. The line is to be open at all times for the conveyance of her MAJESTY'S troops, and it is strictly provided that the interest on the £3,000,000, and all other charges connected with the railway, shall be defrayed prior to any other charge on the Canadian Government in respect to public works. Under these circumstances, therefore, there seems little room for the apprehensions of the objectors to the scheme, some of whom actually urge that it is rash to enter into any engagements of the kind with Canada, since in a few years she may he annexed to the United States. There were not wanting, however, exponents of the argument against the measure, though happily the event proved them to be in the minority. Mr. LOWE'S opinions on the matter are pretty well known. He thinks it "absurd" to imagine that we can defend these colonies against any attack by the United States ; he holds that nothing can be more " fatal or ridiculous" than to set them up as a rival to America. He objects to our showing the world that we take any peculiar interest in the form of government which our colonies may choose to adopt, and thinks the management of our own affairs quite as much as we are equal to. Since such potent arguments can be used against the principle of the scheme, the difficulties as to its practice are of the less consequence, else sanguine colonists might regret to learn from Mr. LOW E'S observations —lst, that the railway will enable the Americans to invade Canada at any time ; 2d, that the railway itself is a hopeless un- dertaking, since it must be closed during a grew portion of the year— (a fact the less to be regretted since it will hinder the American invasion) ; 3d that it is ridiculous to suppose the line can be con strutted for anything like the highest estimate ; 4th, that it is our duty to cultivate the most peace ul relations with the United States, since we cannot lefend Canada in case of an attack, and had better It is not surprising, after this not attempt it. address from the member for Calne, Mr. WATKIN thought it necessary to remind the house that these helpless and insignificant colonies of ours extended over an area equal to one-eighth of the habitable globe. Mr. GLADSTONE, as might have been ex pected, gave his cordial support to the measure, admitting that the duty of self-defence was in cumbent on all our self-governing colonies, bu dealing with the subject in a statesmanlike and national spirit. The division, as we have said, will doubtless have its effect ou the other side of the Atlantic, giving a stimulus to the loyalty of the Canadians, and teaching possibly somc moderation :o the Fenians and their abettors. The subject of flogging in the army was last night again introduced in the House by Sir J. FAKING TON, and the right hon. baronet suggested some im portant alterations, which will no doubt have the effect of improving the condition of the soldier, and also of raising the tone of the army. He brought up a new clause, which he said bad the full concur rence of the Commander-in-Chief, who desired to modify the practice of flogging as far as possible. First of all, Sir JOHN PAKINGTON explained that he did not think it was fair to say he had treated the opinion of the House with disrespect, because he had come to the conclu sion that a majority of one in a house of 213 members was a " deliberate decision" of the House on the matter. In order that the House might re consider the matter, the right hon. baronet thought it best to retain the clause in the bill. The desire to have this punishment got rid of is now so gene rally felt that the Secretary for 'War only expressed a common belief when he said ho thought it was unanimously wished that the practice might be abolished, and the discipline of the army be main tained without it. The difficulty in the way of total abolition is that no punishment has been sug gested that can take its place, the proposals sub stituted being quite inadequate for them, as it has been thought that men would commit offences with a view to being dismissed from the service. Two concessions have been made, however, which seem to go a long way in meeting the dif ficulty of the matter. Corporal punishment is to be limited to three offences of the gravest charac ter, and soldiers in the first class shall be exempted from the punishment altogether. This is an ad mirable suggestion, because it holds out an in ducement to a man to strive to keep in that en viable position if he has already attained it, or else it gives him a powerful incentive to rise to the de sired place. As matters stand at present there is 91. per cent. of the whole army consisting of men of the first clazs, and thus, if they were exempted from this punishment, a great advance would be made. Of course, a great deal of discussion took place as to the best mode of dealing with the ques tion, but nothing very new was said on either side, Mr. °TWAY rather unreasonably, as we think, inter posing;his veto to the proposition of the clause, which he admitted was a considerable concession. On a divi sion, however, the clause was carried by a majority of U. A final agreement was not, however, come to in consequence of the confusion that prevailed THE SUN, LONIJON, FRIt)AY EVENING, MARCH 29, 1867. with the verbal amendments introduced, and the Chairman was ordered to report progress to extri cate the committee from its embarrassment. At any rate we think that the Secretary at War has done good service to the army by his new clause, and we have no doubt that in course of time the punishment of flogging will be entirely done with ; but, like many other changes, it is wiser to do things by degrees. It cannot be said that the authorities have been indifferent to the opinion of the House of Commons, or that they have disre garded the views taken of the question by the public in general and those most interested in the manage ment of the army. Lord DERBY is allowed no peace with respect to the Eastern question, and notwithstanding the very explicit answers which the noble Earl has already given on the subject, it seems as if nothing but reiterated explanations will satisfy the minds of some on this matter. Last night, in the House of Lords, Lord DENBIGII asked if it were true that her MAJESTY'S Government had been invited to join with France, Austria, and Russia, for the purpose of recommending the Porte to cede the Island of Crete to Greece. To this Lord DERBY replied that there was no desire on the part of Government to interfere with Turkey, which they had " always regarded as a country with which we were on the most friendly relations, and to which it was desirable that we should give every support in our power." No communication has been made to her Majesty's Government of a nature such as that alluded to, but the French ambassador intimated the intentions of his Government to Lord STANLEY, and was informed that we did not intend to inter fere in the matter. Under the circumstances of the case this was by far the wisest course that the noble lord at the head of foreign affairs could have adopted, and we think that the views expressed by Lord DERBY last night will meet with the approval of the public. We may give that advice to Turkey which we think desirable on certain occasions, but it is as well to refrain from any policy, or " advising any act which is inconsistent with the independent jurisdiction of Turkey over its own provinces." The idea of advising Turkey to cede the Island of Crete to Greece would be very mis taken policy, and we do not wonder that our Government did not consent to doing so. It is satisfactory to have met with this assurance of the course that Ministers have pursued ; and it may now be considered that there is no chance of the " meddle and muddle" policy of his predecessors in the Foreign-office being indulged in by Lord STANLEY, which in itself affords confidence to all competent judges. Among the other achievements of the session we may hope to rank some practical measure for deal ing with one of the most pressing questions of the day—the overcrowding of the poor in our great cities. Much praise is due to Mr. TORRENS for the perseverance and determination which he has shown, and, iu spite of some opposition, it was evident yesterday that the House of Commons is fully pre pared to second his endeavours. Mr. WALPOLE, on the part of the Government, gave his cordial support to the principle of the measure, and mem bers on both sides came forward with strong evi dence in its favour. It is worthy of notice that two of the metropolitan tnembers were among the severest critics of the measure—on the principle, we suppose, of the cobbler's wife being the worst shod, for if there is any place in which the evils of over crowding are felt to a greater extent than another it is surely in the metropolis. No doubt some of the clauses of the bill arc capable of improvement, and the whole question, since it affects those rights of property which are legally so much more valuab'e than human life, is one of peculiar difficulty. Those gentlemen who have troubled themselves very little about the subject are ready to object to any interference with private rights, and are willing to leave the whole matter to private benevolence and enterprise. Those who have examined it more closely, find it impossible to reconcile themselves to so simple a solution of the problem. Mr. TORRENS, in moving the second reading of the bill, referred to tbis view of the question, and declared that wherever there was a fair field and no favour, wherever there was an evil that men could combat, he was willing to adopt it. He could not, however, admit that they should apply the doctrine of laissez faire to fever and pestilence, and he aptly quoted CARLYLE'S bitter summary of the world's policy, " Success to the strongest, death to the weakest in the race, and the devil take the hindmost." Mr. TORRENS ap pealed to the common sense of the House, saying that " when a man, who had worked 10 or 12 hours a-day, had to live with his family in a stye, such as they would not condemn their horses or dogs to lie down in, it was not to be expected that he should devote himself to the cultivation of his intellect or refrain from going round the corner to get three pennyworth of paradise at the gin-shop." All attempts to elevate or to educate the masses must be in a great measure neutralised by the wretched con dition of their homes. No doubt the very poor are often dirty and thriftless, neglecting alike health, decency, and cleanliness, but how can we expect them to be otherwise when, from their earliest years, they have been accustomed to such miserable and demoralising surroundings ? They are com pelled, in many cases, to live near their work, rents are high, and there is little choice of rooms. Pre sently a new street is made, or some other improve ment carried out, and some of the houses they live in come down. What can they do but pack a little tighter in those that are left ? The continual presence of fever in the purlieus of the metropolis has long attracted the attention of the health officers, but, after examining some of the statistics, many persons will be disposed to wonder, with Mr. P. URQUHART, that infectious disease does not prevail among us to a greater extent. Like every other wilful neglect of the kind, the evil is a most costly one. Mr. SELWIN, in giving some statistics respecting the loss occcasioned by preventible deaths, shows that in London alone it amounted to nearly £4,000,000 in one year. The loss of labour occasioned to the borough of Lancaster, where 113 cages of preventible cases had occurred in one year, was set down at over £16,000. Nor was this mere theoretical calculation. In many instances the loss presses directly upon the rate payers, who arc supposed to be interested in defeating any scheme like the present. Mr. TORRENS cited a most painful case which had come under his own notice. When Union court was destroyed numbers of families were turned out. One labouring man with a large family, who was forced to live near his work, had much difficulty in getting a single room in a great thoroughfare for a high rent. It was in the sultry days of autumn, and fever soon followed him to his new abode. Some of the family took it,- and some escaped, but the mar. himself died, leaving his widow and six children destitute on the parish. Why, asked Mr. TORRENS, bad the fever attacked that man? Because in that house there were already 57 persons living. It was, in fact, so full that the officers of the parish shrank from the responsibility of clearing it ; and this, it seems, is often the case where great numbers of persons have no other Phelter ayailable. The object of the Public Health Bill is thus in a measure defeated, and even if its provisions are rigidly enforced it does not meet the wants of the case. Mr. TORRENS'S Bill em powers the authorities to destroy houses which are condemned as unfit for human habitation, and if the owners refuse to rebuild them, after a certain lapse of time, to rebuild them themselves. The scheme is not a visionary one, having been tried with great success in Liverpool. The evil complained of, though felt perhaps more severely in London than anywhere else, owing to recent improvements, and to the constant influx of labouring people from the country, exists more or less throughout the country. Mr. GREEN said, in supporting the bill, that he had recently gone to reside in a village which contained 1,000 inhabi tants, and he found that the number of cottages i with three room s eac h did n o t b ear th e proport i on l of 15 per cent. of the whole. The hon. member very justly added that, in his opinion, the result of the overcrowded dwellings in the various towns was the production of a greater amount of demoralisation than arose from all other causes put together, while it tended also to bring about physical deterioration lin a great degree. In fact, it is as plainly the inte rest as it is the duty of the upper and middle classes to see that those who have not the opportunity of legislating for themselves shall be provided with a fair supply of decent dwellings. It is idle to talk about the expense to be incurred, since no policy can be more wasteful, more unprofitable, and in every way more disastrous than the ono we have been hitherto pursuing. To save the risk of a tem porary outlay, the ratepayers demand that the work ing man shall risk his health and his life, but such selfish economy most surely defeats itself. The labourer in such a case may use the words of HOOD in condemning a similar negligence : " The very shilling you hoped to save, As health and morals fail, Shall visit me in the new Bastille, The Spital or the gaol !" CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Thursday Evening. There was a Cabinet Council yesterday at the Tuileries, at which the Emperor presided. The Empress was present. In its weekly review of foreign affairs, the even ing Moniteur says :—" The presence of the Em peror Francis Joseph in the capital of his kingdom of Hungary draws closer the ties which connect the Sovereign and the Magyars. The new Hungarian Ministry has not omitted any opportunity of prov ing the sentiments of conciliation with which it is animated. It has understood that at a period of transition between two different regimes there were various interests to consult, and it wished to effect the change without disorder and without giving a shock to public feeling. A project of law is in pre paration with a view to give further development to the municipal organisation, and it is hoped that in future duties will be paid without difficulty. The Emperor Francis Joseph, who summoned his prin cipal Austrian Ministers to Pesth, in order that they might be in communication with his Hun garian Ministers, studied anxiously and conscien tiously every question which requires solution. On the other hand, the Hungarian Diet proceeds rapidly with the examination of the project of the Commis sion of 67 members concerning affairs in common and the general interest of the Austrian monarchy, and a motion for deferring the discussion until after the coronation has been rejected by a very large majority." " The situation in the direction of the Danube has a tendency to improve in consequence of the wise resolutions of Turkey. The opportune concessions made by the Porte to the Servians in reference to the fortresses have converted a feeling of anxiety and uneasiness into a sentiment of mutual confi dence, which will have a happy effect not only in the Principality cf Servia, but in all the neighbour- ing provinces. Prince Michael, far froth wishing to disseminate elements of agitation abroad, has tes tified his desire to respect the ties which unite him to the Suzerain Court. "The Parliament of Northern Germany proceeds rapidly in discussing and voting the articles of the project of the Federal Constitution. Tho Russian Government has reason to congratulate itself upon the spirit and feeling with which the debates are carried on." There is no news of importance in the .Moniteu of this morning. It has the following announce ment :—" The Emperor, in his solicitude for every thing that interests science and commercial rela tions, has decided that naval officers and hydrogra phical engineers shall be sent to different parts of the globe with the object of determining, by astro nomical observation, a certain number of funda mental meridians which may serve to point out with precision the geogriphical position of intermediate places. This important labour will enable correc tions to be made in the table of latitudes and lon gitudes inserted in the Connaissance des Temps, the errors in which have been pointed out in a report addressed to the Minister of Public Instructio❑ by the President of the Bureau of Longitudes." A subscription has been opened among the pupils of the Imperial School of Fine Arts, in order to erect a monument to the memory of M. lugre3, the great painter. Thanks to the mildness of the winter, says a let ter from Tabernes de Valloigne (Sp a i n ) the crop of strawberries is gathered very early this year. Enor mous quantities have already been sent to Madrid, which are sold at two reals the pound (about 4d.). At least I,ooolbs are sent daily to the capital. An elegantly-dressed English pickpocket arrived in Paris last Sunday, who distinguishes himself for the moment by the name of John Brown. He is one of many industrious persons who wish to make a fortune at the Exhibition, or rather he desires to obtain it by a shorter cut. Fortune must be sought for somewhere. John seeks it in the pockets of the people. He had not long landed from the train when he mixed among the crowd at the ticket sta tion. lie there put his hand into a lady's pocket and took out a well-filled purse. She felt the movement and uttered a cry. A police officer in plain clothes had watched the operator, and John, in spite of his protestation of innocence, had very speedily an interview with the Commissary of Police. On him were found not only the lady's purse, but several others, and some watches and jewellery. According to the Italian journals, M. Ricasoli persists in the idea of adding to his Ministry seve ral members of the majority with a view to estab lish a more direct communication between the Go vernment and the elective Chamber. According to the Italie, M. Ricasoli will at all events retain the presidency of the Council of Ministers, and M. Ratazzi will be Minister of the Interior. The visit of Prince Humbert to Vienna is fixed for the middle of April. The Prince will be accompanied by Gen. Menabren. The trial of Admiral Persano has been postponed till the Ist of April. The discussion upon the project of law for the abolition of imprisonment for debt was not con cluded yesterday, and was resumed to-day. M. Jossean, the President of the Commission, who leads the opposition to the proposed relaxation of the law, supported the arguments of the Commis- sion with groat ability, and said that although he was adverse to the abolition of imprisonment for debt, he wished for a reform in the present system if it could be effected without violating what he called the principles of commerce. M. Marie, with equal energy and ability, advocated the abolition of imprisonment for debt, which he contended was " immoral," and therefore, even if it were useful, he Should oppose it. A letter from Rome, dated March 17, says : " Great preparations are in progress for the solemn celebration of the secular anniversary of the martyr dom of St. Peter and the canonisations. The fetes will couitnence on the 29th of June by a magnificent ceremony in the Basilisk of St. Peter. On the following day the kloly Father will officiate at San Paolo. On the 7th of July Josafat and several other servants of God will be canonised. On the 14th of July will take place the beatification of 205 Japanese martyrs, whose miracles were ap proved by the last decree of the Pope." I was informed to-day at the office of the Imperial Commission that there will not be any inaugural ceremony of opening on Sunday next, as has been stated ; but that the public opening will take place on Monday next. The Commissioners and other official persons only will be admitted on Sunday as a formal but necessary measure, so as to be con vinced that they will be right in giving their sanc tion to the opening on Monday. For all to be finished by that day is a thing utterly impossible. It may seem strange, but it is true in one sense, that the mare progress made, the more is the unfinished state of some of the constructions evident, because when one process of ornamentation is finished an other is commenced, the completion of which seems to demand more time. However, as far as I can judge to-day, there is nothing to prevent the open ing of the Exhibition on Monday as proposed, and the various operations now in progress may go on without preventing an inspection of the articles comprised in the Exhibition. It was rather a dan gerous task to walk through the Exhibition to-day. What with excavations below and ponderous tim bers above, carts, trucks, and vehicles on tramways all around, ropes above and masses of stones and cases and goods below, it was " confusion worse con founded." Many of the English exhibitors have not arrived, but in the English department there was no lack of activity, and certainly no want of noisy and imperative commands to workmen in every direction. The chief avenue from the Pont d'Jena, which faces the entrance to the English part of the Exhibition, exhibits signs of splendid decoration, and at the end of the avenue, to the left, there is already an alarming British lion on its pedestal, the teeth of which look so terrific that you may almost fancy that you can hear him growl. Whether there is to be another British lion on the right hand side, this deponent cannot say; but even with one such a lion we can descry a sort of symbol that England is determined to have " God and my right." Many of the agents of exhibitors having too long delayed their applications for cards of admission, the Com missioners have given notice to-day that they can not have them in time to be available for the day of the opening, but that they will be delivered at a future period. It is but simple justice to say that the Commissioners have exhibited a prompt and earnest desire to give every possible facility to persons who have a legitimate and business-like motive for ad mission within the precincts of the building. Such agents as may be disappointed in obtaining admis sion after the opening will have themselves to blame, and they may hereafter be convinced that " delays are dangerous." THE JAMAICA PROSECUTIONS. EXAIVIINA.TION OF EX-GOVERNOR EYRE. MARKET DRATTON, Thursday. The examination of Mr. Eyre'm , as resumed this morning at ten o'clock. Sir Baldwin Leighton (chairman) and the other magistrates present on Wednesday were again on the bench. The chair man stated, before proceeding with the business, that observations had been made by certain per sons sitting behind the witnesses yesterday con cerning the conduct of witnesses and the speeches of counsel. Such observations were very indecent; and, if the persons in court conducted themselves in that manner, what could they expect from those down stairs, who were more humble ? Mr. John Dunning and Mr. J. D. Barnett were successively examined, to prove the evidence given by Mr. Eyre on the 7th and part of the 48th days of the Royal Commission's sittings in Ja maica. Mr. Giffard objected to the production of ex tracts from ➢lr. Eyre's evidence without the con text ; and after some discussion of the point, Mr. Stephen ccnsented to the whole of the examination of Mr. Eyre being considered in court, and that Mr. Giffard, in cross-examination, should have any other parts he might think proper beyond those proved by Mr. Stephen. This course was followed, and the reading of Mr. Eyre's evidence, which had occupied about an hour and a half on the previous evening, occupied three hours more. The substance of the evidence has long been before the public, embodying Mr. Eyre's reasons for believing the rising in 1865 to be serious, the letters and other communications received by him from time to time leading him to that conclusion, and prompting or guiding the action he took in reference to the dis turbance. Mr. C. W. Scott, clerk in the Colonial Office, produced a despatch from Mr. Eyre to the Duke of Newcastle, dated Aug. 7, 1862, referred to by Mr. Stephen in his opening speech on Wednesday, as that in which Mr. Eyre described Mr. Gordon as a mischievous person. He also produced a despatch from Mr. Eyre to Mr. Cardwell, dated 20th October, 1865, describing the outbreak and the steps taken to suppress it. The reading of these documents continued till the midday adjournment of the court. THURSDAY NIGHT. The case for the prosecution is closed. Mr. Giffard replies to-morrow (Friday) morning, and it is expected the proceedings will close in the evening. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) THE GERMAN FEDERAL ARMY. BERLIN, March 29 The formation of the North German Federal Army as regards its constituent corps and divisions and the mode of inspection is not yet settled. The arrangements are at rest only in a preparatory stage, and all statements relative to the future organisation of the present military forces are premature.

THE PRINCESS OF WALES.—We have the satis faction to report that, although it cannot be said that much change has taken place in her Royal Highness's condition during the past week, she has yet shown a tendency to wards recovery. The pain and swelling of the knee-joint are slowly diminishing, whilst the general health is con siderably improved.—The Lancet. THE OXFORD. As a mere sight, irrespective of the amusement, the Oxford now presents a gorgeous picture. The hall has been completely redecorated, from the entrance hall to the remotest corners of the northern end of the building. The embellishments are in what is known as the Italian style, and the free use of primary colours presents an effect strik ing in detail, but very harmonious in combination. They have been executed by Mr. Land, of Cannon-street, and are the general theme of admiration. Seen from the eas the hall, palati a l i n i ts arc hi tectural propor tern gallery,tions, h as a magnific ent appearance, and it would be a fitting interior for any ceremonial however grand. Mr. Morton asks for an expression of opinion upon these decorations, and by general consent but one verdict seems to be passed upon them—that they are a great and successful artistic effort. A novel feature has been introduced into what it is the fashion to call the auditorium. A promenade has boon carried round the outer circle of the hall, and thus a good opportunity is afforded of moving about, whilst some luxurious settees in crimson velvet give resting accommodation for those who wish to look on. This alteration will probably meet with the approbation of the majority of the visitors to the Oxford. Since we last entered this hall two novelties appearsx the entertainments. Every credit is due to Mr. Jonghmans for his persistent endeavour to elevate the standard of musical taste in the music-hall. After in troducing a great variety of first-class operatic music, heard under his baton for the first time in this country, he had the courage and the laudable ambition to place before the audience Beethoven's music to tho "Ruins of Athens," for the performance of which musical director and vocalists (Miss Barrio and Mr. Marler being the principals) deserve much praise ; but it is in no disparagement of Mr. Jongh man's desire to introduce the highest character of music at the Oxford that we venture to think that a secularised Exeter-hall would yield more conscientious attention to Beethoven's beautiful strains than the Oxford Music hall, whose patrons prefer amusement to edification. Our attention has been drawn to three first-class American acrobats, the Brothers Hanlon, whose feats of daring and agility are of extraordinary merit. If anything can dimi nish the dislike which the timid and the thoughtful feel for physical displays which jeopardise life and limb, it is the case with which they aro performed. In the case of the Brothers llanlon the power they exhibit is in inverse pro portion to the apparent trouble of tho performance. They crack jokes whilst they aro turning somersaults and taking leaps, which aro of a magnitude to ruffle even tho serenity of a Curtius. ACCIDENT IN TILE HUNTING FIELD TO TILE DUKE OF RUTLAND.— An accident occurred on Thursday to his Grace the Duko of Rutland while out with his pack. The meet was at the Three Queens, between Belvoir and Stoke Rochford, and the horse of his grace, while in the act of taking a fence, stumbled and fell, throwing his rider with great force. Assistance was of course imme diately rendered, and his grace, who was so much shaken, with difficulty remounted. He proceeded to Stoke, there to await further convenience for his removal to the castle. This is the third severe fall which the noble duke has sustained. CHILD MURDER. SENTENCE OF DEATH.

LITERATURE. Joyce Dormer's Story. By Julia Goddard, author of " Adriana." Two Vols. Bradbury, Evans, and Co. A very charming story is this " Story of Joyce Dormer," as partly narrated by herself in extracts from her diary, and partly recorded by her historian. Thero is sufficient originality about the characters described, and about the events in which they take part, to impart a freshness and piquancy to the tale not to be met with in an every-day novel. In the first chapter of the first volume Joyce Dormer comes to reside with her aunt, Mrs. Carmichael. Joyce Dormer is an orphan, but belonging to the well-to do and highly-respectable family of the Dormers, which family, whatever may be its estimation in the eyes of the world, stands uncommonly high in its own particular opinion. Mrs. Carmichael is a Dormer, but her individual excellencies and her family advantages are all rendered entirely sub servient to the influence and authority of the very authoritative, austere, and intolerable Mr. Carmichael. In the eyes of his wife, at all events, Mr. Carmichael is a hero. The Dormer family ro eognise his high respectability, but little commu nion takes place between them. " fie was rather an appendage, tacked on by stitches that appeared in constant danger of giving way than one who was now part and parcel of the family circle." The evil machinations of this respectable Mr. Car michael give rise to the various complications of the story. His character is singularly repulsive throughout, and is not, let us hope, very true to reality. By far the most interest ing chapter of the whole work, one abounding with pathos and tenderness, is an episode en titled " The Poor Wife's Story," in which a poor wife, supposed to be drowned at sea, discovers, after years of separation, her husband, thoughstilllament ing her death, consoling himself with a new home, with another wife and children. The poor wife, out of love for him, conceals her secret, and will not mar the felicity of the little circle. She writes to him from her death-bed, and it is this letter, which records her sufferings and her heart-struggles, that we have spoken of as the most interesting portion of the book. The friend and companion heroine of Joyce Dormer, Doris Carmichael (both heroines are en dowed with peculiar names !) is quite a contrast in character, and seems intended as a foil to the attrac tions of the very excellent Joyce ; but, on look ing back upon the histories of both damsels, the reader comes to the conclusion that, after all, Doris is the most single-hearted and unselfish, and she is most certainly very badly dealt with by for tune and the novelist. The assembling of the members of the Dormer family on the occa sion of a solemn family funeral reveals some of their prominent peculiarities, and in some way reminds us of the inimitable description of the Sisters in the Mill on the Floss." It is hardly necessary to add that the Dormer sisterhood, by suggesting such an association of ideas, lose somewhat by the comparison. 7 illis's Poetical Works. One vol. pp. 260. George Routledge and Sons. With a melancholy appropriateness the recently announced death of N. P. Willis has been followed by the publication of this elegant new edition of his Poetical Writings —a volume the contents of which partake far more of the genuine character of poetry than of mere graceful versification. Taking his place in excellence far below either Longfellow or Poe, Willis ranks with them in American Poetry as certainly as do either Bryant or Lowell. As with so many of our own poets (Cowper in his Correspondence, Dryden in his Prefaces, Moore and Campbell in their Biographies,) and with nearly the whole of his brother poets of America, without, if we remember rightly, one single exception—he could write with about equal facility in prose and in verse. To his prose, in fact, he owes his popularity. His name as a man of letters has long since come to be identi fied, not with any one, among his poems, but rather than that from his " Pencillings by the Way." Nevertheless his poetical capabilities ought, for that reason, on no account to be deemed inferior to his capabilities as a writer of prose. They were fully upon a par in their general excel lence. And in order to appreciate the suavity of his lyrical style, it might be said with confidence that the volume now under our notice might be opened just haphazard almost any where. Read, in token of this, his "Birth-day Verses," addressed in apostrophe to his mother —or any fragment of verse that you may chance to light upon in opening the volume. Now that the poet himself has so recently passed away, the tender affection palpitating in so ma n y of these rhymical effusions of his, effusions welli ng ou t from the heart rather than from the head, have a touching sadness about them that they possessed not before. And so real are they in their spon taneous and unaffected beauty that t hey carry our sympathies with them across the Atlantic to the realisation of the homes there cherished as dearly by their denizens as the best-loved homes in England. They half reconcile us to our almost unwilling recognition of the fact that the sweetest of all home-songs ever penned, the song of " Home, sweet Home" was penned not in England but in America, not by an Englishman but by an American. mere been 11,1 t An EngL Public Other Rest On Gover Other Notes The a being bullic ing at forme Bu Mark inacti restri( superi many been Tallo' reduce Th( as con lowing an inc notes, in the been a The eudin and sh during £29,9 vious The i❑ also b( in the wheat, accoun amoun for bo wards period Ales! have is necessi questir stated lities b assets "We Messrs. debted t Australi some of have do' " Our Honey t statemei Bible. 1 from us above ti that we tension At ti Scottisl the din ting at exelusii gretted during able to Mr. circular sisting 1 been no continu and exc The 1 pang, Si the ava Decant £961 8 £5,961 commei share.
