Military Entree—Egyptian Soldiery in full costume, marching three deep, with Band of Trumpets and Tympanum, or Hand Drum.

No. 1. The Ark, or " Shrine of Knoumis," called also "Knoum," "Neph," or "Num," i.e. " Water."—The primary form of" Amnon," and styled "The Leader of Gods"--" The Creating Intelli gence"—" The Spirit of God"—" The Spirit of the (Vernal) Deity"—" The Soul of the Sun," and by the Greeks "Jupiter Chnumis." Worshipped by the inhabitants of Thebais (Plu tarch). The asp was sacred to this god.

" Thmei," or Truth, or Ju s ti c e. This deity has also a twofold character as the God doss of Truth and Justice. The small image of this god was worn by the Chief Judge while engaged in listening to cases brought before him. A similar emblem was worn by the High Priests of the Jews, and it is remarkable that the word " Thummin " is not only translated " Truth," but, being a plural or dual word, corresponds to the Egyptian word of " Two Truths"—i. e. " Light and Truth "—breastplates hav ing the figures of the two gods, " Re" (Light) and " Thmei " (Truth) represented upon them have been discovered. Priests with Scarabfei. The Scaraba3us may be considered as an em blein of " The Sun"—of " The Creative Power," and of the Cod " Plithali" (Vulcan). Incense Bearer, waving his incense Patera before the god.

Richly draped and on a car led by Priests bearing the emblems of " Seraphs" or " Sari Api," " The Pillar of Mensu ration, " Coldrun of Measurement," or " Nilometer" of wood divided into cubits. Attendant priests also f,n the idol and offer homage as it passes forward. The festivals in honour ot Apis lasted 7 days, on which occasion a large concourse of people assembled at Memphis—the priests led the Sacred (living) Bull in solemn procession, every one comiug forward fro& their houses to welcome him. Pliny and Solinus affirm that children who smelt his breath were thought thereby gifted with the power of predicting future events. The tokens which distinguished this Sacred Bull at its birth were a white Spot resembling a crescent on its right side, and a lump under its tongue in the form of a beetle, as pretended by the priests. The people believed him to be the cause of the swelling and inundation of the Nile, which produced fertility and abund ance, and celebrated his festival at about the period of this annual occurrence with every demonstration of rejoicing and literal abandonment to the intoxication of joy all over the kingdom. Many temples were erected and dedicated to " Apia," and also to " Seraphs," the divinity of the Column •f Measurement—the Nilometer ! N.B. The decorations of the drapery upon tho bull and carriage are principally corn. posed of the first flowers that spring from the earth after the recession of the flood--i.e., the Lotus and Meliolotus. Priests with the pretended God " Canopus," or Water Offering to the God of the Nile. " It is said that the Chaldeans, trans porting the fire, which was their God, into all the provinces, offered to let him combat with those of other nations, on condition that if lie remained the conqueror they should adore him. The priests of Canopus accepted the challenge and devised this stratagem. They fabricate in Egypt pitchers of an extremely porous earth, through which the water filtrates and is purified. The Arch-priest took one of them, stopped the pores with wax, and painting it of various colours filled it with water, and made it his god. Ho covered it with the head of an ancient statue, said to be that of the pilot of Menelaus. The Chaldeans presented themselves ; the contest began ; they lighted their fires around the vase ; the wax melts, the water runs through the vase and extinguishes the fire. The fraud of the priest gave the victory to Canopus over the Chaldean deity. From that moment his image has been re presented with very short feet, a narrow back, and the belly and back rounded like a pitcher. It is under this form that he is worshipped as the vanquisher of all the gods."—Ruffin Histoiro de l'Eglise, livro second. No. 4. The Goddess " Pash-t," " The Memphiau Lioness," " The Beloved of Pthah," "The Goddess of Fire," " Bubastes" (the Diana of the Greeks) preceded by sacred dancers. The Idol carried by priests in their leopard-skin dresses, with red incense flaming before her, and surrounded by " Symbolic Divinities," " Winged Geniuses," &c. One or the principal festivities held iu Egypt was at Bubastis in honour of the Pash-t -700,000 persons of both sexes being present, A great num ber of victims were sacrificed, wino was profusely drunk, dancing of the wildest character went forward, men played fides, women sang and shrieked as loud as possible, struck the " Crotola" (cymbals) or clappers of wood and metal, &c.

The principle office of this deity was to judge the dead, and to rule over that kingdom where the souls of good men were admitted to eternal felicity. This deity was very famous— his temples and priests were to be found in al most every part of Egypt; the sacred rites of Osiris were a Profound mystery, never revealed. Aline name was even avoided, as of too august a nature to beMeeitioned. The "Ivy," with which the Priests decorated themselves, was sacred to him, and also the " Meliolotus." No. 6. The Sacred Boat of the. Amenti, or Lower Regions, with the four genii, or demi gods (bearing. emblems of life and power) and their vases of Amenti," or that subterrineous region where they (the Egyptians) imagin e d th e sou l s o f th e d ea d t o go ' a ft er th e i r decease. The first genius is " Amset," " Judge of the A nienti" , (human-headed). The second is " llepi," " Con cealed Number" (baboon-headed). The thirdis " Tuautmutf," " Adorer of his Mother" (jack - all-headed), The fourth is " Kabh-sonuf," " Refresher of his Brethren" (hawk-headed). The Sepulchral Vases have heads in shape of the four genii of the .dead, and each was employed for holding a portion of the viscera of the deceased, embalmed separately and deposited in them. On the " Amset" Vase is inscribed the speech of " Isis" to the dead ; on that of " Hepi" is a similar speech from " Nepthys ;" ou that of "Tuautmutf, one from "Neith;" and on that of " Kabh-senuf," one from " Selk ;" the purport of each beingan assurance of protection, and of being "near thee," " beside th ee ," or " I come t o be beside thee."

"Neith" was ROYAL LYCEUM THEATRE. THIS EVENING, and every evening during the week, the GRAND ELEUSINIAN SPECTACLE of MAGIC and MYSTERY, by Professor ANDERSO;IC,. the Great Wizard of the North, in 12 acts, with ever-changing variety of incidents, continuous surprises, novel and extraordinary effects. Magic and Mystery is an entirely new entertainment, pos sessing distinctive characteristics and peculiar phases of amusement. It is not a monologue, for the audience them selves perform their parts with the principal actor, some of them on the stage and others in front ; it is not an exhibition, 'or though everything becomes metamorphosed before the eyes of the visitors no one can be positive that he sees any one thing; but it is a comedy really performed by the com pany ; a melodrama replete with startling positions and Imes - pected denouements ; a magnificent spectacle, with 2,000 of the public every night to appear as auxiliaries ; and an ex travaganza, in which all that seems to be is entirely beyond the bounds of probability. Professor Anderson returns his thanks to thronged and fishionable audiences which have nightly filled the Lyceum Theatre to overflow„and by means of whose generous aid he has been enabled to announce Magic and Mystery for con tinuous repetition. He believes that no professor of his art has at any time or in any place been honoured with an amount of success so extensive, so decided, and so unusual. He would attribute that success to three causes ; first, that in his present entertainment he has placed before his visitors the results of a life sedulously devoted to the attainment of perfected skill in one peculiar art, and to perfect which he has travelled the globe in every clime ; secondly, that he has spared no trouble nor expense to put this entertainment on the stage in the most elaborate manner, by the employment of the first mechanicians and artists of the day; and thirdly, that, while endeavouring to provide amusement for those who honour him with their presence, he has not forgotten that it is possible to afford information also, and that the oppor tunity should not be neglected of exposing conjuring where ever it has been used for nefarious purposes, or whenever by resorting to the conjuror's arts, in an illegitimate manner, the designing have succeeded iu making dupes of the credulous. The 937 letters on the subject of spirit-rapping, which Pro cessor Anderson has received, from the time of opening the theatre up to the present date, bear witness to the great in erest taken on the subject of this singular delusion ; whilst many of them bear melancholy evidence to the dangers which attend a belief in the superstitious nonsense of the " Spiri tualists." Judging simply by the correspondence which has resulted, Professor Anderson's expose of spirit-rapping and his illustration of the so-called table phenomena, have pro duced a sensation unequalled by any previous attempt to ex pose a mischievous and impudent juggle. It is impossible for Professor Anderson to reply at length to a tithe of the communications which reach him on the subject. He regrets that many of these should come from ladies and gentlemen who, from their position in society and their well-known in tellectual attainments, he would least have expected to have been converts to a belief so preposterous in itself, and so easily susceptible of being controverted and disproved. Every evening, from the Lyceum stage, Mr. Anderson's opinions on spirit-rapping are expressed, and every evening, within the Lyceum, how tables can be made to rap is exhibited and elucidated. It is respectfully . requested that this public exposition will be accepted generally as Professor Anderson's only mode of replying at full length to his multitudinous correspondents. H e regrets that the names of the great and learned of the land should have been made to figure in the documents emanating from the spirit-rappers, as for instance the following, ex tracted from the Morning Advertiser of Thursday, Septem ber 20, and taken by that journal from the New York Spiri tual Telegraph. It purports to emanate from an American spirit-rapper, Mr. D. D. Hums ;—" Sir David Brewster frankly confesses that he is sorely puzzled' at what lie has witnessed, and Lord Brougham acknowledges himself to be thoroughly nonplussed. Both of these noted men brought the whole force of their keen discernment to bear upon the - , olution of the phenomena; but the presence of substantial, actual hands, and the demonstrative strength of the spirits who thus clothed themselves for the time, and moved mate rial objects about the room, proved to be too much of a ques tion for them to master." Mr. D. D. Hume, the author of the above, has recently left England, and the following account of who, and what he is, occurs in the Family Herald, No. 648: —" This young man, who is a Scotchman by birth, and now in Italy, is a remarkable medium for all the manifestations without apparatus. Barnum, who is well-known throughout the Anglo-Saxon world as a splendid humbug, offered him 2.000 dollars per annum if he would perform at his museum iu New York. Barnum then took it for granted that mediums could be bought. He was somewhat astonished when his offer was refused. Hume, on telling the fact in London lately, simply and honestly remarked, that the money would have been very acceptable to him, for ho was poor, young (under 20), an or phan, and in very bad health : but he would have been afraid of losing his power as a medium, and he would 'sooner lose his life. The refusal, however, made Barnum thoughtful. He inquired into the subject; and now Barnum, one of the greatest humbugs in the world, and withal a conjuror, is one of the firmest believers in spiritualism." It is cer tainly surprising to find such a paragraph as this in the editorial article of an established journal. the editor of whom might be supposed to be sane. Even if Barnum does believe in spirit-rapping--does spirit-rapping gain or lose by this accession to its adherents I and, with Barnum's endorse ment to it, is this bill, drawn on public credulity, more likely to be negotiated ? Professor Anderson would believe not ; hut, when lie finds that educated clergymen of the Church of England have the temerity to subscribe their names to so gross a swindle, when be finds that the incumbent of Wortley (the Rev. N. J. Godfrey) positively asserts his belief in it, and writes a book on the subject, he considers it t be time for him to state that which he knows of the meehanism by which it is effected, and the mischief to which it tends. In the Morning Advertiser of October 3 appears a letter from Sir David Brewster, relative to that which he saw at Cox's Hotel, in company with Lord Brougham, He distinctly states that which the Wizard of the North proclaims every night—that spirit-rapping is nothing more than conjuring applied to bad purposes. In the Morning Advertiser of the following day, however, there is an answer to Sir David's letter from ono who was present when he and Lord Brougham had their séance with the spirits, in which the writer says, that " the table (a large dinner-table, I believe) moved about in the most extraordinary manner, and, among other things, a large ac cordion was conveyed by an invisible agency to my hand and then to Lord Brougham's, in which, held by his lordship's right hand, apart from any person, it played an air through out." With such a statement, printed for the edification of the people of the 19th century, with the facts before us that the most talented men of the day aro permitting themselves to be deluded by these juggling spirit-mongers—that the greatest novelist of the age is now engaged in making it the subject of a new work, and that a " spiritual convention" has actually been advertised to be hold in St. Martin's-hall, Professor Anderson trusts that his exposures of the spiritual ists of America, as given by him nightly at the Lyceum, will be received by the people of England as genuine honest at tempts to provide an antidote for the bane of the spiritual jugglers. the course of the last five weeks 100,017 persons have visited the Lyceum 'Theatre, —a larger number, it is believed, than has ever before been assembled within its walls in so short'a period. Magic and Mystery is repeated every even. ing, the programme being continually changed. Grand fashionable Day Performance, or Saturday, November 10, at 2 , o'clock ; the programme being thus arranged ; Part I.—Act 1.

Act 3. Le Livre des Roeueils Choisies : or, Puck's Own Pocket Book, with Puck hims e lf w ithi n it. Typifying the evening's entertainment in the production of the very volu minous from a small volume, in the extraction of magnitude out of minuteness, in developing bulk where no space appears which 'vi ii L o b c e om co o m ii for ii its existence, in discovering odd things in odd places, and i bringing forth unexpected wonders from the most unlikely place for to be found.

Not long since a committee was appointed by an eminent scientific society to ascertain and report on the best methods of drawing the patronage and consideration of the Government to the pursuit of science under difficulties. It was hoped that 17 urging the claims of men who had devoted tine and fortune to pursuits unremuuerative to them selves, but of great national importance, the Go vernment might be induced to extend to , scientific attainments some portion of those golden smiles now wantonly and exclusively lavished on mere political services. We hav e no f au lt t o fi n d w ith the proposal ; whatever is done to urge the claims of genius, literature, or science on the attention of a nation, notoriously indifferent to these claims in its collective capacity, shall command our respect. ful consideration. At the same time, we think . that such an intention would have had a far bet ter chance of success, and been more li ke l y to ga i n general sympathy, if, instead of confining its efforts to one class of literary men, it had extended those efforts to all, and used its best endeavours to urge the necessity of some better provision for literary and scientific merits—we are ashamed to add— literary and scientific destitution. These remarks have been drawn from us by a correspondence which has taken place between Mr. Hallam, Mr. Macaulay, Mr. Dickens, and others, and the head of her Majesty's Government, rela tive to two gentlewomen, sisters, one of them a goddaughter of the late Dr. Samuel Johnson, the lexicographer. Singularly enough another letter appears at the same time from Walter Savage Lan dor, in the columns of a contemporary, calling at tention to a James Defoe, living at Kensington, the great grandson of the novelist, whose "Robin son Crusoe" and " Plauge of London" have drawn more tears and smiles than any two prose books in the language. It appears that the Misses Lowe, the two ladies alluded to, and James Defoe, have been left friendless and helpless ;—like some few others, they have no stay but the noble thoughts of their connections and the remembrance of names. that England would not willingly let die ;-- noble but inadequate guardians against, hoae ills whinWWl hardest on the solitary and -*he aged:- - • Lord Palmerston, in his reply, did not consider that the Literary Fund, under his disposal, "could be meddled with for a pension to the goddaughter of Dr. Johnson"—and, perhaps, in the strict letter of his interpretation, he was right. It might lead to more trouble than Governments are generally • willing to undergo if the relatives of deceased lite rary men were put forward as objects of the national bounty. And consequently an appeal has been made to the nation ; happily, it may seem, with out Miss Lowe's privity—f or age has not been without its effects—to raise in her behalf 4001. That the result will be successful we cannot entertain a doubt ; and, therefore, it would seem superfluous to recommend this proposal to our readers. But we hope that this appeal will not be lost on the nation, and that the efforts of Carlyle, Dickens, and Forster, may lead to some more per manent and extended good than—good as it is— the present case commends. Let any man consi der, for a moment, the literature of this country ; let him consider what it has done for us as a nation—(take that side only)—and then consider what the nation, as such, has done for its literature and literary men. It is not only that we have a larger, a nobler, a purer, a more connected body ( f literature, than any other nation ever had or has, past or present; on this head we might dilate " until the crack of doom ;" and all this is patent. What we now insist upon is, that as a nation—and in the lowest national point of view the literature of this country has done more for its well-being and the well-being of its Government than all the laws, the police, the constitutions and in stitutions of it put together. As a body the lite rature of this country--all, at all events, which has left any permanent impression on the pub lic mind, has been on the side of law, of order, and we are bold to say it, of religion, if that word be truly interp re t e d. H ow many feelings of our better nature have been called by it into vigorous and successful combat against our worse ones ? How many hours othervritie doomed to be wasted in dissipation, in the streets or in the watch-house, has this same literature of ours with noblest alchemy converted -into golden moments ? How many riots has it kept down, or moderated when afoot ? But it is not our purpose to launch out into a needless eulogy on that which every man praises and most men value. What we urge is— that Government, as a Government, is incalculably indebted to it—that hut for this literature—with our strong political tendencies and strong political excitements, Government would find it very hard to get on at all. It would have to multiply its police and double its files of soldiers. Not a dirty Job world it do, and hardly a clean one ; did no t men know that at their own fireside, and locked up in a small bookcase, there was a sedative for the ills of life far better than beer, opium, or polities ; glimpses in comfortable nooks and corners at Elie invisible world ; prophets and poets, who had diviner things to tell of law, order, and govern ment than the lo u d es t or the longest of parliamen tary orators. As the best kind of police, there fore, we do think th a t lit erary and scientific men are fully entitled to their retiring pension, more than all the civil or military services in the world. Why, then, are they without it ? And why does a nation, not ungenerous in rewarding those who serve it, grudge the least token of its liberality to those who are at once its best of servants and wisest of masters ? [PRICE 4D. STAMPED SD. So far as local interests were concerned, he really did not see why he - should not be able to represent them quite as well as his hon. opponent. It was not . very dif fi,mlt to " know" what was wanted—the difficulty, un • fortunately, was to "obtain" it. (Cheers.) He promised, if returned, to be always at his post, to give every at tention to the subject of local interests, to have his door always open to his constituents, and to reply to every communication which might be sent to him. Beyond this, however, he must hay that the general feeling of the country was f or war, and he trusted that it would be carried on with a vigour which would inflict such heavy blows upon the enemy as to compel him, before the end of next year, to come forward and sue for peace. (Applause.) He had seen with pride and satisfaction the success with which his friend Admiral Lyons had carried on operations in the Black Sea, and he had no doubt, if the Government came forward as they ought to do, and sent an overwhelming force to the Baltic, that we might be able to strike such blows against the Emperor of Russia as would make him tremble for him self even in his own palace of St. Petersburg. (Immense cheering, accompanied with waving of hats and other demonstratirni of approval, followed the eine:Ligon of the gallant Admiral's address.) Mr. GREGORY moved, and Mr. BRITTEN seconded, a resolution expressive of confidence in Sir C. Napier, and after a Grief interval allowed for questions, in the course of which nothing of any importance was proposed, it was carried with enthusiastic unanimity. The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman, and an injunction to the electors to "go early to the poll." Spirit of the Public Journals. • (From. the Times of this day.) • The vacancy created in: the Qabinet by the' dpath of Sir William Molesworth remains still unsnii., ,- plied. There are circumstances which render the selection of a Minister for this important office pe culiarly difficult. Sir William Molesworth was not only thoroughly versed in colonial affairs, and better qualified than any other statesman of the day_to inaugurate the new imperial policy with re gard to the foreign dependencies of the Crown, but he was also what we fear at this moment is regarded as even of more consequence —au honest and con sistent supporter of the war, firmly determined to listen to no terms of peace whiclishould not securo to this Government the most emphatic aclmissiou that every object fur which we took up arms had been fully and completely obtained. The reputation of his Government, and the credit which he has justly earned by strengthening his Administration with all the available talent that could be found, forbade Lord Palmerston to neglect either of these considerations. He must also have been, we imagine, anxious, if possible, to find the new Secretary of State in the House of Commons, where his Ministry certainly requires strength, in order to meet the very powerful opposition that is sure, whatever disclaimers we may now hear, to b© ranged against it. If the faculty of speaking well were coincident with that of sound judment, we should certainly have reason to be intimidated at the large amount of Parliamentary talent which is arrayed in favour of a dishonourable peace, and this faet, though it does not shake our conviction, certainly imposes great difficulty in filling up the ranks of an Administra tion. In this position of affairs Lord Palmerston offered the seals of the Colonies to Lord Stanley. The ordinary view of such an advance would be to consider it as a means of breaking up and disunit ing the Opposition, as a Machiavellian policy the aim of which was to draw from the side of Mr. Disraeli and Lord Derby a young nobleman who, independently of his rank and prospects, is cer tainly by far the most promisin g member of the House of Commons of hi s age . It has been thought that such a step would break up the Opposition and very materially strengthen the Government. If these were the grounds on which the Colonies were offered to Lord Stanley, we confess we should think the appointment hardly defensible. Public office is not merely the reward. for party manoeuvre, and ought not to be put up for sale either for money, for Parliamentary influence, or for any other consideration than that of fitness. To appoint an administrator for fifty dependencies and a coun sellor in a crisis of so much difficulty and danger- is too serious a duty to be mixed up with consi derations of so low and grovelling a character. Wo doubt very much whether it be the interest of the present Government to seek at this time ma terially to weaken an Opposition the greatest part of which is prepared to give them a fair and honest support on the one question of the day—the vigor ous prosecution of the war with Russia ; and whether such a course would not be calculated to create new combinations by which Mr. Gladstone and his friends might turn out to be the only gainers. It may also be a question whether the separation of Lord Stanley from the Tory party— an event sooner or later absolutely certain, from the entire discrepancy of sentiment and opinion which exists between them—would have the effect imputed to it ; or whether any considerable portion of the Conservatives would follow a man whose sympathies carry him far nearer to Mr. Bright than to Lord Derby or to Mr. Disreali. Still there are reasons which make the offer of the Colonies to Lord Stanley both a wise and a creditable pro ceeding to Lord Palmerston. Lord Stanley is not yet 30 years of age, but nobody doubts his talents or his liberality. With a physical defect which places mere oratorical display out of his reach, he has nevertheless contrived to win the attention and command the respect (.)f the House of Commons. Nobody doubts his ability, his industry, or his honesty. Nobody doubts that in him we have a man destined to play a very remarkable part in the history of the coming time. To have selected such a man for high office, instead of going back be that ever ready depot of recruits, the fourth row behind the Treasury bench, was both bold and wise. It was a gallant attempt to emancipate the Government from mere family con nexion, and give it a basis worthy of the thoroughly popular and liberal principle on which it is founded. The worst that can be said of the attempt to obtain the assistance of Lord Stanley at the present juncture is that it has failed, and there are some things in which a want of success is a strong argu ment against the wisdom of the attempt. Lord Stanley was at first, we understand, undecided. but ultimately he took Lord Derby's advice, and, that advice being adverse to acceptance, he de clined. We are not apprised of the grounds of difference ; but certainly, when we remember the speech made by Lord Stanley on Mr. Disraeli's motion with regard to the Vienna Conferences, we should not be surprised to learn that the refusal arose from the inability of Lord Stanley to acquiesce in the warlike policy of the present Government. If that were so, we can only regret that the prospect of obtaining Lord Stanley's ser vices for the country at the present moment should be lost to us, but we must render justice to the honourable consistency which induced so young a man to refuse so high a position—a posi tion which many holding similar sentiments would not hesitate to fill. It is the practice of most of our contemporaries to produce candidates of their own for every vacant office, and on the present oc casion Government has been favoured with some very singular suggestions on the subject. Such wo do not conceive to be the duty of a j o urnalist. It is the busine s s o f G overnmen t to choose ; t i t t hi is s ours to offer an opi n io n on the choice. we have certainly a r i g ht t o expect—that, to the seals of the . Colonies shall be delivered, ihe shall be a man in whom the country may thoroughly confide as to the questions Lord s of war and peace. If by offering the Colonies Stan ley Lord Palmerston, as we are r ather inclined to Cabinet at thedisposianl believe, placed a seat in his of ono who does not go heartily with the people 1 their anxiety for the prosecution of the war a n d their aversion from a re-opening of the a second time. Confer ences of Vienna, lot not the error be committ e d iVe are most anxious the C o l on i es should be properly administered, but at thi s mo ment we are still more anxious that the honour of the country should be sacredly and inviolably maintained. A man who aids us pn this subject is our friend, be his antecedents what they may ; the man who thwarts us on this subject is our enemy , bo his professions and principles never so s pecious on all other points. We have had enough of divided counsels, and cannot afford to risk the manifest danger to our safety abroad and the stability of our Government at home which will b o sure to arise if the people should once more begin to doubt the firmness and unanimity of the Government. We are preparing ourselves for battle, and may reasonably ask that the trumpet we are to follow shall give no uncertain sound. The appointment of the new Minister will be regarded throughout Europe as an index of the present state of opinion in the British Government. No mani festo in favour of war could be so powerful as the appointment of a Minister thoroughly committed to its prosecution. Nothing could be done which would so effectually encourage the schemes of all those who hate and fear us as to raise to high office GALES OFF TIIE COAST. LOWESTOFT, Nov. 3.

A CUNNING ROGUE.—At the county sessions held about a fortnight ago, Mr. Linton, the governor of the county gaol, gave evidence that a priso ner named Samuel Musson, committed on a charge of stealing candlesticks at Bagthorpo and Annesley, was too ill to take his trial, and Dr. Massey, the surgeon, ex pressed his belief that he was a confirmed idiot, an d would never recover. It appeared that two months ago he became so ill and helpless that he could not take food, had to be fed with a spoon, and lifted from place to place by the attendants. Under these circum stances the magistrates allowed him to be removed to Lis friends on satisfactory bail being given that be should appear if called upon at the next sessions. He was ac c z.lingly taken away in a conveyance. When he had reached Radford, and the gaolers bad left him, he opened hi s e yes and whispered, " Are th e y gone I" and finding hat the coast was clear, he speedily recovered, called,) for his pipe and glass, and began to enjoy himself. Hi laughed heartily at his own cleverness, and at the man ner in which he had imp ose d upon the surgeon and offi cers of the prison. Tidings of his wonderful recovery soon reached the governor, and an officer was quickly despatched to see after the man, but Musson having re ceived timely notice of the anticipated visit, escaped by the bac4 way, and has not since been heard of —Notting ham. ./nitirnat.

A very crowded and rather stormy meeting of rate payers of the City of London was held yesterday in the Egyptian Hall, Mansion-house, convened on the requi ,,ition of the Lord Mayor, to take into ponsideration the propriety of bringing into action in the City of London the Public Libraries and Museums Act of last session. The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor took the chair at 2 o'clock, and on his right and left we observed Messrs. Tite, M.P., E wart, M.P., Mechi, G. Moore, Deputy Dekin,Bennoch, Sheriff Kennedy, C. Pearson, Anderton, Major-General Sykes, &c. The hall was densely filled with ratepayers] who evinced a most unmistakeable hostility to the adop-. Lion of the act from t4e.v.ry coniiancermeab-of Vie-pro ceedings. The Tower CLERK having read the section of the act on which it was proposed to proceed, and the advertise ment summoning the meeting, The LORD MAYOR addressed the meeting as follows :-- Gentlemen—You are aware that this meeting has been convened in accordance with an act of Parliament (which I have before me), to determine whether the ratepayers )f London shall tax themselves in order to obtain for their city the advantages to be derived from a library and museum free to all c:asses of the community. I con fess there are few subjects on which I could call you to gether with more entire satisfaction ; and I am sure you will give to it your best consideration—on the one hand to avoid any needless addition to the public expendi ture ; and on the other to obtain for yourselves, your families, and your fellow-citizens, all the available sources of information, and consequent progress, which the in tellectual labours of the world have placed at your dis posal. This act was passed chiefly to enable corporate bodies to discharge other and happier duties than those which too generally fall to their lot (those of repressing or of punishing offenc - s)—and it cannot be otherwise than highly gratifying to the magistrates of any town or city to be called upon to forward an undertaking that must necessarily .contribute greatly to leisen their It, hours, by extending that general education which is the safest and most certain adversary of crime. In this age and in this city it requires no arguments to show that the more a people are educated the better they will be -that in proportion to their enlightenment, will be their love of order, their social improvement, their do mestic prosperity, and their love of that pure and ra. tonal liberty- which can be understood and apple:- c:ated only by educated men. Gentlemen, in calling upon you to give to the City of London the vast benat I anticipate from the establishment of a free library —open to all and for all--I am not asking you to try a vague experiment, the success of which may be even hazarhous or doubtful. It has already been tried in several of the great towns and cities of England, and with a success which removes all apprehension of failure, and all dread that our hopes may be followed by disap pointment. Upon this point I will not detain you fur ther than to say that in Manchester, during the year ending September, 1855, no fewer than 147,582 persons availed themselves of the facilities afforded by the free library there ; and I have reason to believe that results in pro,mrtion have rewarded the ratepayers in the other 12 or 15 corporate towns in which this small but im mensely beneficial tax was levied. Gentlemen, you are aware, first, that this tax in no case can ever be a rate exceeding one penny in the pound. If we vote it, we do so entirely of free will, and our levy may be so small as to be little more than a nominal tax upon any party. The amount a ill be arranged according to the mode pro vided for by act of parliament, and there can be little doubt that in the great and wealthy City of London a sufficient sum may k e obtained by a pressure so slight as to be almost imperceptible. I need not inform you that to levy this tax at all, it is necessary that its expediency els ) be admitted by a large majority (no less than two tuirds) of the ratepayers present at this meeting. I shall, therefore, as is my duty leave this issue in your hands. It is for you entirely to - decide whether - you will pro vide (that which you can so easily do) another means of giving instruction and enjoyment to tens of thousands of your fellow-men and fellow-citizens, to whom a free library, and its consequent museum, will be a boon of incalculable value. In doing this, it is true, you will only put the City of London, in this respect., on a par with Manchester, Liverpool, Oxford, Sheffield, Norwich, and many other cities of the ki ng d om ; b ut you w ill rescue the metropolis from the reproach of lagg i ng in the rear while the whole wo r ld i s advancing i n th e great march of improvement, and of beicg the only capital in Euro, e in which education is ne t free. Gentlemen, I would by no means indelicately press my opinions open • you. I respect this auditory too much to doubt that their liberality and wisdom will determine what is best for themselves and th e i r f e ll ow -citizens ; but I con f ess i t would greatly gratify me , and very largely augment the pride I have felt an d th e h appiness I have en j oye d as your chief magistrat e , if th e l atest act of my year o f o ffi ce was to assist you, m y f r i ends and fellow-c i t i zens , i n giving effect t o thi s ac t o f P arliament, and present i ng to the City of London a f ree library and free museum , %AEI) all their attend an t a d vantages. His LORDSI3IP, at the c onc l us i cn of his a dd ress , s tated that he ha I rec e i ve d l et t ers from Lord J. Russe ll , Mr. Grote, Mr. Pres co tt, an d others, approving of the o bj ec t of the meeting, and ca ll e d on Mr. Ewart, M.P., to move a resolution. deoniefoeen3cedal: would i nrtoy:Euir, carrying l od v bgu , u t grt ß ithoh T ftepr said oramer lie act, fi theasu Parl i ame n t . eaof n w anntc oud . tawpol which echeah n i is felt the ewbl which y h ivtc a hi hwn v ag e teb rabt i e n hde intrud e d arnbucl about ded on tteuiyaltedotyfmo Lbpe ea t ro e he onnn.s. so nobly answered by Manchester and Liverpool. Man chester and Salford had each public libraries, and Liver pool had had one fur several years, and the latter town was about to erect a magnificent building for its a,ccom inodation. The Town Council of Liverpool proposed to contribute 10,0001., and one citizen, Mr. Brown, the member for South Lancashire, would give 6,0001. in ad dition. (Cheers.) In Manchester they had purchased for their public library a large building which had formerly been devoted to the dissemination of socialist doctrines. The 12,000/. had been raised by the ratepayers, and in it, he was happy to add, was included 8001., contributed by the working men, for whose use the library was Prin cipally intended. (Hear, hear.) But it was n ot the great commercial cities of Liverpool and Manchester alone that had come forward and availed themselves of the act. From the little town of Hertford he bad received a letter announcing that the town council had carried the question of a public library unanimously. (Hear, hear.) Surely, then, the greatest city in the world would not lag behind in providing literary sustenance for the poorer and more hard-working classes of its inhabitants. But this was not all. They would probably be surprised to hear that there were public libraries in all the small towns of Italy, and Germany was still more fully provided. He trusted that if the meeti ng assen t e d_ to the resolution establishing a free library in the City, they would attach to it a lending library, a branch which bad been attended with the utmost success in Liverpool and Manchester. It might be urged against the establishment of a free library that the poor borrowers would injure the books ; but that argument was at once silenced by the facts in their possession. It appeared that out of 110,000 volumes lent in Liverpool in a given period only ono was at all injured. (Loud cheers.) Indeed so reverently careful were the poor people of the books that they brought clean napkins to wrap them in when received, and re. turned them hi the same manner. (Cheers.) So much for the manner in which these institutions were appreci ated by working people, but his great reason for urging the resolution on the meeting was that in the twelve places in which the Libraries' Act bad been adopted, it had had the best effect in fusing the various classes of the population, rich and poor, strangers and natives, all becoming more friendly and intimate with each other in consequence of the facilities afforded by the libraries and museums for coming more frequently together. (Hear.) He had been told that both political and religious dis cord were very much diminished in the towns in which the act of last session had been brought into opera tion. (Cheers.) The hon. member concluded by moving a resolutio npledging the ratepayers of the City of Lon don to the adoption of the Public Libraries and Mu. seums Act of last session. Some opposition was made to the moving of the reso lution by Mr. Ewart, on the ground that that gentleman was not a ratepayer, but Mr. Deputy DAKIN contended that it would be most ungracious to reject the services of a gentleman to whom they owed the passing of the act. Mejor-General SYKES said that the task of seconding the resolution might have been given to an abler person, but certainly not to one more earnest in the cause. For many years past he had taken the warmest interest in providing for the masses of the people the means of ac quiring knowledge which othrriviso would be kept from them by the expense. Ile trusted that the crowded meeting of ratepa4 ers he saw before him might be taken as an augury of the success of the motion. (`` 011, oh," and interruption.) Let theta remember that the great est amount they could be charged with was a penny in. the pound, while it might not be the ghost of a far thing—(a laugh)—and be trusted, for the honour of the City of London, that the ratepayers would not make themselves marked men throughout Great Britain by reFi:sting . so paltry an expense. (Interruptive cries of " Oh, oh," and uproar.) By a statistical table in his hand, he found that the supply of hook s i n lib rar i es i n I London was 22 vols. for 100 inhabitants ; Paris, 160 for 100 ; Berlin, 182 to 100 ; and in Catholic Florence, 370 to 103. (" Oh, oh," and cries of " the Madiai to wit.") FOr Copenhagen he found the proportion to be 460 to 100. With these few observations he begged to second the resolution.' A RATEPAYER asked whether the City of London ha 3 not already a free library in the Guildhall ? (Cries of " Yes, yes," and " Hear, hear.") Several persons rose to speak at once, but at last . gave way to Mr. Deputy PEACOCK, who rose to move the previous question as an amendment. He said that one would suppose from the speeches they had just heard that the City of London was completely destitute of public libra ries, while the fact was that they had a library of 12,000 volumes in the Guildhall, and how often did they think that library was used by the citizens ? During the month of October the library was visited by seven per sons. (Cheers and laughter.) It had been urged that their library was situated in an awkward corner ; but if so, it was for the corporatilm to remove it to' a suitable place, and make the 12,000 volumes 109,000 if necessary. (Hear, bear, and cheers.) They could do all that with out touching the pockets of the ratepayers. (Renewed cheering.) They should remember how the people were struggling under the war taxes and local rates. He, as chairman of the Court of Sewers, could state that not a month went over their heads without 90 or 100 warrants for the rates. In addition to this there was a debt of 90,0001., to remove which should be their first conside ration. He felt bound to move the previous question, because he thought the present moment an unfitting one -for increasing the burthens of the people. (Cheers.) Mr. Cox thought that if a public library was neces sary for the City of London, it was the duty of the car .poration to provide it. He should, therefore, vote against any addition to their local taxation. Mr. BOWER supported the amendmaut, and reminded the - ratepayers that, in addition to their present burdens, they would soon lave Sir 13..Efall'S act in full operation. He asked, were they . prepared undt r such circumstances to borrow 200,0001., and build a place for the library? They bad a'ready 35 public libraries in London, and 27 museums, which were sufficiently accessible for persons who were really of a literary turn. Besides, the circum stances of the City bad entirelf changed of late years, and all the young men for whose literary instruction they meant to provide slept in the country. The speaker in conclusion reminded the meeting of the bad success of the Birkbeck and other literary institutions in the City. After a few words from Mr. ABRAHAM, The Rev. Mr. MAOKENZIE Wished t i say a word for the honour of the city of London, and for the interests of its young men. lie fe:t that the honour of the City was at stake in the decision to which they were about to come. (Lou] cries of "No, no.') It was true they had a library of 12,000 volumes in Guildhall, but they wire not books of general utility. ("Oh," and laughter.) They were doubtless very important books, but they chiefly concerned the antiquities of the pity of London and the privileges of its various officers. They would find in them most excellent accounts of the various pro cessions of the Lord Mayors of London—(laughter ; but they would hardly like to study 12,000 vols. on that subject. Ho did not mean to say that they were all on th,t subjee. (Laughter.) It should also be recollected that the library was not accessible at hours which would suit the young men. He knew the young men, and he felt for them, and he could assure the meeting that it was a great mistake to suppose that the majority of the City young men slept in the country. He did not think Ve establishment of public libraries was all that could be done for the working classe., but it was a step in the right direction. Dr. SPARKS suggested that the question should be re ferred to a committee. (No, no.) Mr. P. G. DODD said he had lived 40 years in the City, and it was only very lately he learned they had a library in the Guildhall. Mr. 'FITE, M.P., said it was quite plain the ratepayers would not submit to any taxation for the establishment of public libraries. (Loud cries of "Hear, hear.") He wished, however, the world to understand that it was with them only a question of time, and was unpopular at present because - rates were high and discounts were at 7 per-cent. In the meantime, his friend the Alderman of Tower Ward had made an excellent suggestion, which was that the wealthier classes should endeavour to carry the object by subscription. He Tite) thought that at least a good beginning might be made in that way. Mr. MEOHI reminded the meeting, that of the rate, which would probably be &MO/. a year, the greatest portion would be levied on the great warehouses—not on the poor ratepayers. (No, no.) Alderman SIDNEY thought that the matter should be left in the hands of the corporation, who might appoint a committee to consider it. Ho feared that the rate of ' 4,0001., if levied, would not benefit 2,000 persons, as all the literary institutions hitherto established in the City bad been signal failures. The fact was that the working ' classes required no patronage from the middle or any other class, and would be best pleased in being permitted to act independently for themselves. Mr. BENNOCH addressed the meeting in support of the original resolution, but so great was the uproar that his observations c )uld not be di,tinctly heard ; after which The LORD MAYOR put "the previous question," which was carried by a complete forest of hands. Thanks were then voted by acclamation to the Lord Mayor, and the proceedings terminated. LEPRESENTATION OF SOUTHIVARK. Last night another muster of the supporters of Sir C. j a e bo e u so t a t l b ly e s t a o m b e e Napier took place at the Lite rar y an d S c i en tifi c Institu tion in the Borough-road. Th e assem bl age was as l arge as the dimensions of th e b u ildi ng a d m i t t e d o f , an d t h ere proportion at o such uc electors h g at h e to non-electors apparently ings, _ The chair was occupied by Dr. EVANS, who opened the proceedings by expressing his regret that there was not in the borough a room sufficiently large to accommo date those who were desirous of being present. He then observed upon the circumstance of there being two can didates in the field, and, while eschewing anything like personalities with reference to the other candidate, he urged in strong terms what ho conceived to be the claims of tie gallant Admiral. He preferred the representative of public interests to him who represented local interests alone, and he put it to the meeting what sort of a place the House of Commons would be if every borough in the kingdom sent only local representatives to the great con gress of the nation. - Sir C. NAPIER, who was received with the enthusiasm of a popular favourite, said that he did no conceal from himself the position which he was in. If they did him the honour to return him to Parliament, it would perhaps be one of the greatest triumphs that ever a gentleman or an officer had achieved ; but if, on the other hand, he should not be fortunate enough to be returned, he confessed that it would be " a heavy blow and great discouragement." He did hope, however, and he should say that he was almost certain, that they would return him to Parlia mentw.e wwiitlhi.,)a, triumphant maj or ity. (Ch eers , a nd cries of He had seen in a newspaper of that morn ing's date a letter, addressed to the editor, asking whether he were not a decrepit old man ? He asked them, did he look very decrepit ? (" No.") Five or six years ago, when the Government thought proper to intrust him with the command of the Channel fleet, they did not think him de crepit ; and again, in the year 1854, when they sent him to command a fleet which was manned by 20,000 men, he was not thought very decrepit. At any rate, he had been able, in spite of storms, fogs, and tempests, to conduct that fleet through the Baltic Sea and into the Gulf of Finland. (Cheers.) He was not ashamed of his age—far from it. Thank God, he had good health and strength, and he had no doubt, if they sent him to Parliament, that he should be able to do his duty as well as many a younger man. (Cheers.) He understood that bis opponent (Mr. Scovell) was about to adopt the plan which he (Sir C. Napier) hal adopted from the first—that of holding open-air meetings. If Mr. Scovell began holding meetings, he trusted that none of his friends would go there to disturb them. Such conduct was un-English and unfair. Every man, friend or foe, was entitled to a fair hearing, and, if they wanted to beat a man, the best way to do it was to be open and aboveboard with him. (Cheers.) However, if Mr. Scovell held an open-air meeting, he (Sir Chas. Napier) would Le there to hear what had to be said ; because it was best to , hear what every one had to say, and then at future meetings he might be able to give to any statements which might be made a triumphant an swer. (Cheers.) After going through the principal points of his address, the gallant Admiral said, with re gard to what was called " Administrative Reform," that he had been an administrative reformer before the term had become almost a byword. So long as 1816 he had written letters on the subject of naval reform, and he had gone with it almost ever since. He was happy to say that many things which he had recommended had since been carried out ; but, as they had not been adopted at the time, they were not allowed to appear as reforms of his suggesting, but as emanating from the Govern ment of the day. (Cheers.) He declared that he was not a factious man, that he did not wish to disturb the Government, and that if a Tory Government were in power to-morrow, and conducted the affairs of the coun try properly, he would support it as readily as any other. He believed that on Tuesday next the Speaker's warrant would be issued, fixing the time for the election. The writ would be returned in three days ; it then remained for the High Bailiff to appoint what day he pleased for the election ; and so far as he could judge, he did not believe that it would take place before next Monday week. There was ample time in 14 days for a people to do a great deal towards securing the return of a candi date. He trusted and believed that no friend of his would use undue influence to insure his success ; for if he thought that he could only be retur; e I by undue or unfair means, he would much rather not be returned to Parliament at all. (Cries of " Bravo. Charley !) Unfortunately, the country was not so far advaiTe i c i i ga in Parliamentary reform as it ought to be ; and, and as in the proof of this, he believed that out of 10,000 electors Southwark not above 7,000 had ever gone to poll. That could not be called a full and free representation of the people. He hoped that the forthcouttiant m g elec tionore would be of a different description, and electorseveo ots, infl:dt good e od polled proportion tlianbad f thoseever beenvvho hadbefor e stayed A t all ' s way before vo t e d now , be shouldo Mr. Scovellbereturned polledh a triumphant majority, even thu gh considerably more than at the last election.
