This, to collectors, will be an immense boon, and by its means they will be enabled to obtain many rare apecimens."—Standarq. "The completion of Mr. Newman' work on the British Moths is a benefit to entomologists of all classes. It is at once a text-book by a laTgh authority, most valuable for reference, and a handsome, taste fully got-up volume, which will be an ornament to any library or drawing - room table. It embodies the results of many years' earnest and intelligent work by one whose reputation as an ento mologist deservedly stands high. . . . We notice also with satisfaction that Mr. Newman's descriptions, whilst thoroughly scientific and minute, are given in plain and unaffected English. With the help of these and the very excellent woodcuts, even a very young collector may with eas e identify any moth he may cap ture. The figures are so well drawn that there is no need of colour to render them life-like. . We unhesitatingly commend this volume to our readers. We regard it as a very useful addition to our library."

At a meeting of the wholesale dealers of Liver pool, the proposed abolition, upon the part of tea im porters, of the tax per pound was considered, and re solutions were adopted substantially similar to those passed at a meeting of the wholesale dealers in London on the 10th inst. A terrific fire has occurred at Whittlesea, by which a large area of farm-buildings and twelve cottages were entirely destroyed. All efforts to extinguish the conflagra tion were unavailing, and it only ceased through want of material to work on. The scene is described as an inten sely exciting one. The accident to an excursion train on the Lanca shire and Yorkshire Railway, near Preston, in Whitsun week, has caused the death of one of the sufferers. Miss Blamires, of ClAckheaton, received very serious injuzies to her head, and one of her limbs, and on Wednesday she died at her home. The change of locale from the Dreadnought to the Infirmary of Greenwich Hospital has resulted in an in crease in the number of entries, particularly as to medical cases ; for the total daily return indicates a larger num ber of inmates than were ever housed in the Dread nought during the corresponding months of the last ten years. A report relative to the present state of the Ord nance Survey is published with the Parliamentary papers as that department is to be transferred from the War Office to the Office of Works. It is estimated that £1,494,700 will be required for completing the survey of the United• Kingdom. The mortal remains of Agustina, the celebrated heroine of the siege sustained at Saragossa against the French, have been removed from Ceuta, where she died a few years back at a very advanced age, to her native city. At all the towns through which they have been carried, including Madrid, they have been received with military honours, attended by commissions of the several corporations. MORNING EDITION.

JUNE 18, 1870. SKETCHES' IN PARLIAMENT, FRIDAY. In the stifling heat of the hottest day of the year, some five or six hundred of our legislators assembled yesterday afternoon to solve the great problem of educating the people. Every bench downstairs was full, and something more. On the Treasury bench Mr. Glyn was sitting on the knees of two Cabinet Ministers. Members sat on the gangway steps. They stood about the door sweltering. They lined the gallery opposite the Treasury bench, and being all armed with notice papers, white waistcoats, and white hats they presented a very patchy and magpie appearance. In the Strangers', Speaker's, and Peers' Galleries there was a very large attendance of visitors ; there were not many peers, however, for they were occupied with the Land Bill in their own house. Their places were filled by clergy and Nonconformist ministers. After Mr. Gladstone had made a statement about the order of pub lic business, and sundry questions had been asked and answered, a number of members rose in succession to announce petitions referring to the Education Bill. It was at ten minutes past five that the cheers of the House told us that somebody important had arisen. We had expected it would be Mr. Vernon Harcourt, but the applause came from above the gang way. It was Mr. Gladstone who had risen, and it was soon clear that we were in for a regular oration. His first explanations elicited approval from the Conservative side. Satisfaction was particularly marked when the Premier said that Ministers could not undertake to for bid denominational teaching, because in order to enforce the prohibition it would be necessary to define this teaching, in fact to draw up a parliamentary code of religion. He then went on at great, and, indeed, excessive length, but not with his usual clearness, to explain the alterations which he proposed to make in the bill. When he announced that he would no longer make the school boards decide upon the religious teaching, there were cheers from the Liberal side, and even the Radicals applauded when he admitted that the possible discord which would arise at the boards, if they had to determine this matter was an objection, too strong for him to resist. The cheers were general when he asserted that all parties agreed in admitting that education in England should be religious. He next dwelt upon the general concurrence of opinion that the bill should be passed this year, and the shortness of the time which there was for doing this. He urged upon members that they should concede their preferences as far as pos sible, and for the express benefit of the Radicals, made a very effective quotation from one of Cobden's speeches, in which that statesman declared his willingness to make almost any sacrifice on the religious question, if only an education bill could be passed at once. The peroration spoke of the widespread wish that religion should not be separated from education, and at 6.20 the Premier sat down. Mr. Harcourt rose, but so also did Mr. Disraeli, and of course the latter got the parole. He began by referring to the Premier's request that there should be no unneces sary expenditure of time, and said that certainly Mr. Gladstone had no reason to complain of the conduct of the Opposition on that ground. The Premier nodded assent. Mr. Disraeli was then very witty upon the entire change of front which, he said, had been effected by the Government. They were, he affirmed, going to solve the religious difficulty by adopting an amendment (Mr. Cowper-Temple's) which could not be put. He really did not understand that amendment. Thereupon Mr. Collins, amid much cheering, came forward, and gave his chief a copy of it. Then, in a passage worthy of the assistant-barrister's paragraph in his speech on the Land Bill, Mr. Disraeli went on to shew that the new educators of the country were to be, not the clergy, but the schoolmasters, a new and sacerdotal class, he added, amid vociferous Con servative cheering. Equally vociferous was the laughter with which he spoke of the financial proposals as so intricate that he thought he was listening to a Budget speech, and he declared that not one man out of the Cabinet, and probably not many in it, understood these arrangements. It had taken the First Minister an hour and a half (seventy minutes was the real time), to explain all his amendments, and he had not wasted a word. (Great laughter at this fib.) " A man with more confidence than I possess," added Mr. Disraeli, amid shouts of merri ment, " might possibly make out what is meant ; but certainly I cannot." Mr. Disraeli knew only that this was a new bill, and he called upon the House to move the ad journment of the debate. Twenty-five minutes sufficed for Mr. Disraeli to make his speech, and then Mr. Harcourt got up and ex pressed considerable dissatisfaction with the amendments, especially with Mr. Cowper-Temple's. That forbade the teaching of formulas, but it could not prevent the teaching of the doctrines contained in the formulas. The Athanasi an Creed might be forbidden, but supposing it were possible to translate the document into intelligible lan guage, its dogmas might be inculcated. He believed that it was quite possible to have unsectarian religious teaching, and unless that were obtained the country would very soon insist upon secular teaching pure and simple. Certainly the bill as amended was a new measure, and he must therefore join with Mr. Disraeli in urging the adjournment of the debate. Mr Dixon followed, evidently much irritated. He, too, urged adjournment because he and his friends were not sufficiently masters of their temper just then to discuss the Govern ment proposals. He was especially vehement against the extension of denominational education. Lord Sandon also thought the amended bill almost a new measure, but intimated that he rather liked it than otherwise. Mr. Cowper• Temple, who has the honour of having his amendment accepted out of nearly 250, was of course well pleased with the alterations, and made a speech which, lam bound to say, no one listened to. While it was going on negotiations were being carried forward between the Government and the Radicals, and Mr. Winterbotham kept passing to and fro, and at one time sat on the Treasury bench, next to Mr. Forster and Mr. Gladstone. Mr. Hardy and Mr. Beresford Hope rose together, and at the cry for the first the second gave way. Mr. Hardy also urged adjournment, but spoke of the alterations in a very different tone from that which had been adopted by Mr. Disraeli. 111 r. Forster then answered the appeal by assenting to it, and the only discussions were as to whether the bill should be printed, or whether the amendments should be laid upon the table, and also as to whether the House should not go into committee pro forma and ad journ. Mr. Liddell then spoke in favour of the Ministerial proposal. Mr. Russell Gurney made the House laugh by saying that, as the reprinting of the bill would remove from the notice paper all the amend ments of which members had given notice, that was a strong reason why the bill should be reprinted. Sir John Pakiagton expressed regret that it should be necessary to postpone the committee until Monday. Eventually Mr. Vernon Harcourt withdrew his motion for the adjournment. Lord Charles Russell walked up the floor of the House and removed the mace, the Speaker left the chair, Mr. Dodson said a few mystic words, Lord Charles restored the mace, the Speaker reascended his throne, and members walked out to dinner, while Sir Robert Collier, at 7.35, arose to enlarge upon the merits of his Extradition Bill, just as the thunder clouds began to peal forth their artillery. The deaths of M. Adolphe Barrot and M. Corta the Senator, are announced from Paris. Mr. Baron Bramwell's decision about the costs in the Bristol election petition is that each party shall pay their own. The Progres, of Rouen, says that M. Gustave Flourens, who arrived recently at Athens, has been ex pelled from the Greek territory on the demand of the French Ambassador. A girl, aged fourteen, has been arrested at Clogher (Ireland) on suspicion of having murdered her illegiti mate child. She has confessed that she burned its body, but asserts that the child died a natural death. The yacht race for the cup offered by his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, to be sailed for by English and American yachts, has been postponed from the 24th inst. until August next.

PARIS CORRESPONDENCE THURSDAY EVENING Decidedly M. 011ivier's position at present is not a very enviable one, and it seems to be telling on his tem per. He is growing irritable, and yesterday there was quite a passage of arms between him and M. de Keratry. The Minister grew so incensed at last that he exclaimed " I am indifferent to your cpinion of me as an honest man." The Breton took no notice at the time, but he subsequently demanded explanations, which M. 01Eyler did not object to give, and between them both the obnoxious expression was expunged from the Journal Officio& According to Figaro the Emperor still upholds the Cabinet, and would prefer to sacrifice the Chamber of the two. It would, however, be useless to dissolve the Chamber without waiting for the new elec toral law. The meeting of the Constitutional Left which has been talked of for the last two days, took place to-day at M. Ernest Picard's, and discussed their political pro gramme. They agreed on the following points : —l. Opposition to personal power on the ground of practial reforms in the representative system. 2. The concentration of their efforts in order to treat the leading political questions of the day in regular order. 3. A persevering endeavour to secure the government of the country by the country. Such is their programme which you will perceive is suffi ciently vague, but, I must add, the meeting afterwards discussed the qnestion of electoral and municipal freedom and the dissolution of the Chamber, which thcy held to be absolutely necessary. The Emperor's health has given rise to great anxiety of late, but he is much better according to the last accounts. He will shortly go to Fontainebleau. One of the chief topics of discussion here is the scheme for the St. Gothard Railway. The interpellation in the Corps Legislatif did not seem to give much satisfaction to those most interested in the matter. There was a general desire for the production of documents instead of for mere verbal explanations on the subject. At the same time the matter is not likely to give rise to serious com plications. The Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne has nearly recovered from his recent severe attack of smallpox, but it is not likely that he will make his appearance in the Senate again this session. The Libert6 refers to the burial of Dickens in West minster Abbey, and says that the French have cause to be jealous of their neighbours who possess this magnificent monument, which for centuries has served for the sepulchre of departed greatness. After regretting that the national cemetery is not situated in a secular locality, it admits that it is conducted on sufficiently broad princi ples, for we find the tombs of Dryden, Shakespeare, Goldsmith, and Sheridan. As yet no notice has been given to the prisoners at Mazas, who are awaiting their trial, but they will shortly receive an intimation to the effect that they must appear before the Court of Justice at Tours. The delay in the issue of the notices has been occasioned by the number of copies which were required. The funeral of Mme. Jules Fevre took place yesterday at Rueil. It was attended by many friends of the distin guished lawyer. The body of the deceased will be sent to Auteuil for interment. A report has been circulated by some journals as to the indisposition of Prince Napoleon, but the truth is the Prince is in perfect health. As to his children they are quite recovered from their indisposition. Paris will shortly be honoured by the presence of two stars of great magnitude. The Princess di Suaira will pass some weeks here on her way to the sea-bathing towns of England. She is the widow of a prince of the House of Colonna. She will be accompanied by her son, Prince Moffeo, whose arrival is likely to create great interest in high life. THE ROBUST INVALID. The Adelphi Theatre is already famous for the bene volence it shows to modern authors by allowing them to monopolise a whole evening's entertainment by their plays. The rule is advantageous, inasmuch as the public are well enabled thereby to test the ability of the owner of the pieces performed. Mr. Charles Reade's modern drama and ancient comedy allow that portion of the play going public who do not yet know Mr. Reade's capabilities a fair opportunity of judging of them. We should, while making this remark, impress upon our readers the fact, that we only intend to include the audience who see the plays to the end, as, under present arrangements, it is rather difficult to do so. Last evening, for instance, the curtain fell at seven minutes to 12 o'clock. A suggestion, which perhaps Mr. Reade will moreover allow us to make, is that the comedy should be ordered to come first in the programme, for two reasons. First, and chiefly because many people have already seen " Put Yourself in his Place ;" and, those who visit the Adelphi to witness clever adaptation of Moliere might not particularly care to see the drama repeated. Our second reason is, because Mr. Reade's originalpiece is so excessively modern in its views that the change in goingback to the seventeenth century in the comedy is too great to be suitable. The plot of the "Robust Invalid," or as everyone will better know it as the Malade Inuwinaire of Moliere, is founded upon the extraordinary vagaries of a hypochondriacal old man, who, in the French piece, plays a serious and comic role combined, but who becomes rather a fool in the adap tation. This delinquent, the father of a young girl, on becoming old, fancies that he labours under a series of complaints, and he hits upon a plan of marrying her to a medical man, by which means he will manage to have a practitioner always near him in case of seizure. Of course the daughter will not love the doctor, but pledges her troth privately to a gen tleman named Cleantes (Mr. Ashley.) A pretty scheme is devised, by which the old man is made to allow meet ings between his daughter and her lover. This consists in Cleantes pretending to be a music -master, by which arrangement he and she manage to sing several " lessons" to each other actually before the unsuspecting father. The bridegroom originally chosen by the father makes himself detestable to the family by his absurd but highly ludicrous attempts at sentiment and oratory, and ultimately through the influence of an open-hearted brother of the hypochondriac faith ful Cleantes is accepted as the son-in-law ; a state of things which is rendered more agreeable to the father, when the lover announces that he has become surgeon, and that he means to cure all the patient's ills. The adapta tion has many faults. It is lengthened out in a positively heartless manner, and although it embraces most of the incidents and points made use of by its author, still a new dialogue of an extraordinary character is introduced here and there, and the happy ideas conveyed in the French sentences are very scantily reproduced in those in our own tongue. Mr. Reade in all his plays professes to know a great deal of odd things well, and it is no discredit to a man to try and know everything he can. It is, however, absurd in the extreme to force his occasionally queer expe riences on the audience, especially if the experiences refer to modern customs, and when the play that they occur in is old. In " The Robust Invalid " a long discussion takes place on the subject of equestrianism. This seems to have been principally introduced in order that the public may learn that " a horse never falls of his own accord ; that it is his rider who causes him to do Mr. Reade does not enter into the reasons why a horse falls when being driven, under a 'buss for in stance ; probably in his next play he will enlighten the public on this matter. High praise, however, cannot be withheld from the adapter for having reproduced this excellent piece. His work he has managed to imbue with a fresh and lively spirit, which renders it exceedingly acceptable, especially to those who think the re vivals of old dramas and comedies only can be gloomy in their nature and deserving of con tempt. There are, moreover , two or three members of the company who take part in the " Robust Invalid," who are of themselves capable by their impersonations of doing full justice to any piece of average superiority. We allude more especially to Mr. Vining, Miss Glover, and Mrs. Seymour, whose activity and cheerful manner on the stage fairly entitled her to the many expressions of pleasure lavished upon her during the performance. Of Miss Florence Terry's future acting we have every con fidence given us that it will be of a successful kind. She comes before us almost a child, and the child-like charac ter that she represents even at this early period of her stage experience is not at all ill-suited to her. The "Robust Invalid" would probably be more welcome to us were we to cease to remember that Moliere described in it a man whose latter days contrasted in a very melancholy way with his own. At the time that he was picturing a frivol ous and complaining hyponchondriac, the' author was himself suffering from a painful and incurable, disease which all the doctors of France failed to alleviate. This reminiscence, however, will not, we conjecture, cause any person to stay away from the theatre. Under all other circumstances, we do not see why the revival should not meet with every encouragement. The play is put upon the stage with a large share of advantages and under very happy auspices. During its performance last evening the curtain was not once let down, the short intervals between the acts being, according to French rule, distinctly marked by musical selections from the band—a tolerably strong one. :NEW NOVEL, BY TIIE AUTHOR OF "ANNE DYSART,' Now Ready, at all the Libraries, in 3 vols , A R T H IT By the Author of "Anne Dysart," &c.
