MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal of this day.) • During the past few days there has been a manifest mprovement in the share market, and many shares have ;hanged hands, especially in some of the leading and im- proving mines. Improvements have been reported in Heignston Downs, Alfred Consols, and Mary Ann, and shares have, consequently, been in demand at former quota tions, and in the latter especially an advance has taken place. Canaborne Consols have been done at our p resent quo tations, in anticipation of some important improvement being near at hails]. The directors in Tamar Consols, at their meeting, yes terday, declared a dividend of 10 per cent. Tincroft is represented to be looking remarkably well; 450 tons of w , copper ore were sampled on Wednesday, the next will be ea( considerably more. In Esgair Lli and Cwm Erfin a !arge number of shares have found buyers, and the mines are represented to bs progressively improving, and will evidently, from present prospects, become permanent Jun, mines. The Welsh lead mines are stated to be generally in a very productive position, and some important discoveries are fully anticipated at Court Grange Mines (formerly Pen-y-Cefn). At the Stray-park and Camborne Veen meeting the accounts show the returns for the four months ending April, at 3,7971. 3s. 51., giving a profit of 630/. 18s. id.; balance in hand, 1,252/. 1 ls. 7d. A dividend of 10s. per share was declared, leaving credit of 7521. Ils. 7d. to next account. The agent's report of the present and future prospects of the mine are . highly encouraging; but the present low standard precludes the possibility of giving large profits. At the Condurrow meeting, a dividend of 3/. per share was declared; the balance in band is 691. The manager's report iChighly satisfactory. The 80 fm. level has im proved, and the lode is now worth 50/. per fm. for tin. The 70 east is worth 151. per fm. for copper, and the 30 east is also worth 151. per fm.; the pitches are working at a favourable tribute to the company, and the mine generally is looking fthii we 14 .4; - •At tbe Wheal Zercitijeteitint,' the sh ow a - - profit of 2381. 15s. 11d. on March and April workings, which, with balance from last account, gives a.credit of 4071. 19s. 4d. carried to next account. The prospects of the mine have considerably improved since the last meeting. The north taunter presents prospects of early improvement, the stopes over the end producing 15 tons of ore to the fathom. The 80 end is producing 8 tons, and the stopes in the back 12 tons per fathom. The stopes in the back of the 70, on the south part of the lode, are turning out 11 tons; the north part of the lode, which is not being taken away, will produce 6 tons more. The other levels and stopes are also productive, turning out 3 and 4 tons per fathom. A number of pitches in the various levels are worked on tribute, highly favour able to the adventurers. A great deal of dead work has been completed, and a charge of 5001., caused by the erection of the new steam-whim and crusher, is included in the above costs ; and, notwithstanding the decline in the standard, the mine will shortly be in a position of resuming her dividends. At the Lelant Consols meeting, the accounts for four months, ending April, were audited, and a profit of 409/. 2s. 7d. shown to have been realised. The agent reports the mine to be now in a position of becoming permanent, although the present decline in the price of tin militates much against her returns. Additional force is being put on that part of the mind which is sup posed to contain the valuable lodes of Wheal Margaret. At the East Pool meeting the accounts for April and May showed-Costs and merchants' bills, 1,1461. Is. Bd.; by ores sold, 1,104/. 2s. 10d.; leaving a balance against the adventurers of 41/. 18s. 10d. At the Trevean meeting, the accounts showed balance in favour of company, 55/. 17s. I Id., after deducting the debit from last account. By the death of Lady Car ington, the lease falls into the hands of her succes sor; and a committee was formed to negotiate with the present proprietor for a new lease, the company pledg ing themselves to erect a steam-engine, and sink the shaft to the depth of 40 fns. At the Trewalden Mine meeting, a balance of 167/. 6s. 2d. appeared in favour of the company. From the highly promising position of this mine, supported by the strong recommendation of their intelligent agent, the meeting resolved that a steam-engine be immediately erected, for the purpose of affording an efficient trial, to meet which a call of 21. per share was deemed necessary. lan A ce t i t n he ha T n r d em o a f y 3 n 2 e 3i. Bs. g the accounts showed ba lance The fall in the market prices of tin and copper has made a difference in the receipts within the month to the extent of 500/. Dispatch. s were received yesterday from the Real del Monte, Bolanos, and United Mexican Mining Companies. From Real del Monte we learn that the property has been passed over from the old company, in England, to purchasers in Mexico; and it appears that had the share holders come forward and supported the new company, proposed to be formed in March last, they would now have begun to reap the benefit. The mines have been improving for some months, and there is every prospect of their becoming again as productive as in earlier and prosperous times. The Bolanos advices are to the 4th of May. In the El Bote Mine there has been nothing discovered of any importance, but considerable exploratory works have of en carried on, an engine erected, which performs well, and other surface work completed. In Celestine an im provement of such interest bad taken place, as to pre vent, at least for the time, the abandonment of the mine. The directors' report states that further subscriptions will be rt quired to carry on the works. The advices from the United Mexican are to 7th May. The improved condition of the mine had continued, and the last monthly returns had exceeded the expenditure by 9,219 dolls., besides covering the deficit of the former mouth of 1,792 dolls. Jesus and Purisima had some what deteriorated; but the more important point of Santo Toribo had given higher and yet more promising produce. The workings of the new mines of Aldana and Promontorio were progressing satisfactorily. LING.

BEWLEY, FISHER, AND CO.'S CONCENTRATED ESSENCE OF JAMAICA GINGER. —This Preparation conta'ns, in a highly concentrated state, and without the addition of any more heating stimulant, all the car minative and restorative properties of this useful and grateful aro• matte, separated from the ligneous fibre which constitutes the hulk of the root. As few stomachs are able to bear a sufficient quantity of the powder to produce the desired effect, BEWLEY, FISHER, and CO. conceive this form of exhibition the most convenient, when taken in water, tea, beer, wine, &c. ; or for combination with other medicine, ten drops being equal to eight grains of the powder. It is recommended to persons of Phlegmatic, Gouty, Dyspeptic, and Ner vous titbits. Its beneficial effects are quickly diffused throughout the whole system, relieving cramps, spasms, flatulency, pain, and sense of oppressi n after meals, and restoring the tone of the stomach. Its utility is also manifested as an adjunct to other medi cines, and in correcting the chill which soda and other aerated or mineral waters give the stomach, as well as in adding to their tonic property. In bottles at 2s. 6d. and 45., prepared by BEWLEY, FISHER, and Co., 64, Dame-street, Dublin. Also their Anodyne Lettuce Lozenges, for coughs, colds , asthma, and affections of the chest. Doctor Duncan, of Edinburgh, and other leading members of the profession, have strongly recommended Lactucarium (the inspis sated juice of the garden Lettuce) as possessing peculiarly soothing and quieting properties in the above complaints, and especially in the troublesome cough attendant on consumption. To increase its efficacy, Bewley, Fisher, and Co. have combined it with hippo and demulcents, and have adopted the form of a lozenge as being the most agreeable mode for its administration.

The Breslau, Gazette confirms the account of the defeat of the united armies of Austria and Russia on the 14th and 15th. The battle took place on the left bank of the Danube, in the plain between Wesselburg and Raab, and lasted sixty-four hours. The Hun garians were commanded by Generals Arthur Georgey and Guyon, and the Imperialists by Haynau and Rudiger. '23,000 Austrians and Russians, and 8,000 Hungarians, were killed. Field-Marshal Schlick and several other officers of high rank were taken by the Magyars. The rout was complete. The Austro-Russian army fled from the field in complete disorder, followed to the frontiers by clouds of Hus sars and Ci.kos, who cut up the fugitives wherever they overtook them. F a AN CE. The Cercle Constitutionnel, lately presided over by M. Dufaure, has, on the cccasion of its reorganizing itself and appointing new officers, published a manifesto Explanatory of the principles by which it is actuated. The following are the principal passages : " The first sentiment (says the document) under the Empire of which the members of this reunion have as sembled is the firm determination to maintain the Con• stitution. Most of them neither created nor wished for the Republic, but all have frankly accepted it, and, with out any arriere pensee, desire to preserve it. They do not confine themselves to merely according to it their acquiescence, they mean to afford it the ir firm co operation. In their eyes it is not sufficient not to be hostile to it, but it is important to aid and serve it. A Government is badly supported when it is only tole rated, and people are very ready to abandon it when they declare it impossible, and keep for another their de sires and their hopes. The hopes and desires of the members of the Cercle are for the Republic and for its firm establishment. They do not deceive themselves with regard to the imperfections which the Constitution may pre sent; but such as it it appears to them, if honestly executed, to offer all the essential conditions of good Government; and being opposed to impatient wishes for an immediate revision, they do not admit that the Constitution can be modified except according to the forms and at the time the Constitution has itself prescribed. Any irregular change would re-open to all parties the path of revolution. But, whilst they sincerely and firmly wish for the maintenance of the Constitution, the members of the Cercle do not admit that, under pretext that it is violated by the great powers of the State, the country can be thrown, as it has just been, into the perils and horrors of civil war. They strongly condemn such wild and criminal enter prises; all applaud the triumph of order; they will not refuse to the Government anything that may be neces sary for it to defend society; they will only stop at the point at which resistance would become reaction; and then, in restraining the Government, they would believe that they still aided it." . Referring to Socialism, the manifesto expresses • itself as follows : - - " It is not such or such a form of government that this Utopian theory attacks, but society itself—all society. But at the same time that they are convinced of this truth, the members of the Cercle Constitutionnel have another conviction ; they believe that the first condition of success for the cause of order is that the combat shall be always openly sustained in the name of and for the Republic. Society and order,' it is alleged, must first be saved, the Republic and the Constitution can next be looked to.' But that is a bad way of stating the question ! The first condition of order is the maintenance of the Constitution—the first condi tion of force is the power of the Republic. Force derived from the Republic and the Constitution can alone save society. Many adversaries of the So cialist doctrines sincerely believe that the only means of putting them down is to crush it by force. The mem bers of the Cetcle Consatutionnel are fully of opinion that no violence should remain unrepressed, and that and that no bad propagand ism should exist without one in opposition to it; but they, at the same time, think that there exists another and be tter p lan of triumphing over it, and that is to labour seriously and con stantly for the cure of social evils. Socialism is a Utopian scheme ; but social miseries are not c himerical. The greatest crime, perhaps, of Socialism is to set forth impos sible remedies for serious evils, and by its impuissance to cause evils, which it is the duty of society to relieve if not to cure, to be considered incurable. The best sen tence to pass on it is to oppose sound and useful reali tic to its wild Utopian ideas, and to prove that for all the cruel sufferings which it only knows how to envenom there exist not only true and profound sympathies, but sure alleviations or efficacious remedies." The document concludes as follows, with a decla ration of its intention to support the pt esent Govern ment Profoundly convinced that in such times as ours the weakness of the Government is a great evil, and its force a necessity, the members of the Cercle Constitutionnel have not constituted an opposition meeting. They have, from the first, declared positively, and they again declare their firm determination to afford to the President of the Republic and his Ministry frank and independent support. Sincere co operation on their part is assured to the Government, and precisely because they would not hesitate to warn it frankly of its errors by their counsels, and if necessary even by their votes, they will confer on it greater strength by their conscientious adhesion." LEAMINGTON SPA, JUNE 21.—The anniversary of her Majesty's accession was celebrated here, by public festivities, which attracted nearly 40,000 spectators, among whom were some of the most distinguished fasbionables in the Midland Counties, the chief object of curiosity being the ascent of Lieutenant Gale's monster balloon, "The Royal Cremorne," which took place from the Jephson Gardens. The town is ful of company. THE ARMY AND NAVY. (From the United Service Gazette of this day.) THE COAST OF AFRICA. CORRESPONDENOE. — Great complaints exist on the coast of Africa respecting letters and papers forwarded monthly by ships-of-war from England. Some stringent Admiralty order on the sub ject would render an essential benefit to those serving there. There is a recent instance of one ship-of-war communicating with another, and nearly parting com pany again before recollecting that she bad a bag of let ters to deliver. We know that in some stations this sub ject receives the greatest attention on board the flag ships. PRESIDENCY OF THE ROYAL NAVAL SCHOOL.—We understand that Rear. Admiral Bowles, C. 8., M.P., has withdrawn his letter of resignation, and has consented to continue President of th e Royal Naval School. The Admiralty have ord ere d no t on ly the Royalist, now in the East Indies, but the Ad e laide, intended as a steam- tug for Port Adelaide, to proceed to the Cape, and there to be employed as tenders to the Commodore's ship. It is reported that Captain Charles Fremantle, who paid off the Albion, 90, last year, after a short period of service in her, will again be appointed to the command of that ship. THE CANADA COMMAND.—The command of the forces in Canada is to be divided between Major- General W. Rowan, and Lieutenant-General Sir John Harvey—the former to have the rank (local) and pay of a Lieutenant-General on the Staff; and the latter, in ad dition to his government, and also the pay of a Lieu tenant-General on the staff—by this arrangement a sav ing will accrue to the public. THE HONG•KONG COMMAND. —A reduction is about to take place in the military establishment at Hong- Kong. It is to cease to be a Major-General's command, and to be placed under that of a Colonel on the Staff. It is rumoured that Colonel Trevor, 59th, is likely to be selected for the appointment. CHATHAM GARRISON.-vi r e regret to announce that Lieutenant-Colonel Weare, K.H., commanding the Pro visional Battalion, has been attacked with serious illness, which has confined him to his bed since Sunday last. VANCOUVER'S ISLAND.—The Hudson's Bay Company have submitted to the consideration of the Government the expediency of allowing Pensioners to emigrate to this colony, to be formed for service under Staff Offi cers in the manner adopted in the emigration to New Zealand. The Land Service Practice Battery, ordered to be con structed outside Fort Cumberland, for the Royal Marine Artillery, is not to be commenced until after the next official visit of the Lords of the Admiralty to Portsmouth. TROOPS IN THE TROPICS.—We noticed some short time since that a Board of Officers had been ordered to as semble to investigate and report as to the best means of providing sanitary accommodation for troops in the West Indies. It has recommended the use of hospital mar quees for sanitary encampments, which are, on all occa sions, to be double, with an interspace of eighteen or inches, judiciously ventilated along the ridges. Each marquee is to accommodate not more than twelve twenty n nt w y with bedsteads, which w ill g ive a s p ace of nearl y five feet for every bedstead, and between the two ranks of bedsteads, by night, four feet, and, when turned up by day, ten feet, thus allo win g am p le room for tables, forms, &c. This arrangement w ill entail a trifling additional expense, but the recommendation has been fully ap gobocyciatnhstieoonmasnetdhoiocbase.l preyed of both by the Ordnance and other military autho rities, and instrt etions issued immediately to have it car brkione ao d rw i d n ne t d o t o t w - ffebexecints. exist on ou T cnb h t e hi sem deemedpa i a q rt u e o e f s s are onledci ee o sr n ssa a tr l oy l p O i ffi ta c l e :More T e o sp ra e e c e ia t also which ee e fa i n s well especially e duri great ng objection th eprev a a l epi demic, hospital marquees are to be provided in the proportion of one to every 100 men, for those who have such objection. The above arrangements we think very judicious, and such as we were led to expect when we observed the constitution of the Board. Although great sticklers for a wise economy of the public money, still we feel assured that a trifling, indeed, any reasonable, expense would be readily acceded to by every rightly-constituted mind, which has for its object to allay the fearful mortality which at times take place in tropical climates, and which, no far ther back than last year, decimated the ranks of the 66th andl72d Regiments at Barbadces.

Young ladies, bewitchingly attired in pink bonnets and French visites, and showily-dressed gents," the aim of whose existence appears to be that of rattling through the polka or the schottische with the velocity of a spinning jenny, nightly assemble at Cre morne, in immense numbers—their happy, self-satisfied visages, with the merry laugh, and lively prattle of their fair companions, affording a fund of inexhaustible enjoy ment to the Brothers Cheryble, who are tempted now and than by the splendour of the season, to abandon the dingy lanes, and never•ceasing turmoil of the still dingier city, for a sail on the river, and a stroll amidst the shady groves and tastefully planted walks of these delightfully situated and well arranged grounds. Nor are the juvenile part of the community, whose joyous scream of delight as a bril liant rocket illumines the surrounding firmament, or a daring grenadier plants the "Flag that's braved a thousand years The battle and the breeze," on the dizzy heights of the fortress of Moultan, adds greatly to the spirit of the scene, much less numerous in their attendance; and one can hardly wonder at this, since, irrespective of the beauties which nature and art have bestowed on the place, there are all kinds and de scriptions of amusement, from cricket and bowls, from archery and gymnastics, up to stage representations and musical performances—in fact there is something to please every taste. Then, again, for the contemplative mind, there is a graphic panoramic representation of California, a truthful though ideal illustration of a woodman's hut, buried in the gloomy solitude of an American prarie, with some admirably executed works in sculpture. These are the attractions to be witnessed in daylight, but when.the shades of evening have closed in, there is a vocal and instrumental concert, a Ballet d'Action, and La Danse al Fresco, to while away the time till the Storming of ,Moultan, a spirit stirring affair-,.a long series of rational entertainments. We mu.t not omit making a passing allusion to a change which has been made in the mode of publishing the bill of fare. Now, instead of a flimsey sheet, you are sup plied with a neatly got up book, in a pamphlet form, bearing the title of the " Theatrical Programme; or, L'Entre-acte," which contains some readable and amusing matter, besides a glowing description of the establishment. Altogether, these gardens present many novel and at ractive features, and those who take plea ! sure—and who is there that does not—in healthful recreations, would experience no disappointment in paying them a visit.

PAUL, COVENT-GARDEN.---Yester day a vestry meeting of the inhabitant ratepayers of this parish, was held in the vestry-room attached to the church, for the purpose of making and assessing three equal pound rates for the current year, a poor-rate, church rate, and improveitent-rate. The Rev. Henry Hutton, the rector, in the chair. Mr. Chequer moved the consideration of the making of a poor - rate, and stated that the various so urces of expenditure would in volve an outlay of about 4,0001., for the current year, and to raise that sum, with the arrears of the last rate, a rate of is. 6d. in the pound would be su ffi cient to pro• duce 3,750 1 ., the arrears being added, when collected, would, it was expected, leave a balance of about 3,0001. in hand. He then moved that a rate of is. 6d. in the pound should be made. The proposition having been agreed to, a church-rate of two-pence was carried, on a division by the cas tin g vote of the chairman .

A Tragic Play in Five Acts. By J. Westland Marston. Already—in our notice of the theatrical represen tation of Strathmore, on the occasion of its first per formance on Wednesday evening, at the Theatre Royal Haymarket—we gave a rapid but detailed synopsis of the plot, from the opening scene to the catastrophe. Our present purpose, therefore, is restricted entirely , within the limits of literary criticism. For the bril liant success which has already marked the appear ance of the new tragedy has even in this brief in terval rendered the story which it evolves, in a great measure, familiar to the popular imagination. Ac cording to an acknowledgment contained .in the " Preface" to the first edition, just published, that story was suggested to the dramatist by the fortunes, or rather,we should say, byj the misfortunes,(of Henry Morton, recounted by Sir Walter Scott in one of his most renowned fictions, the incomparable romance of " Old M or t a lity." Every one who bears interest which recollection o f th e som b re an d pathetic which pervades th e narrat i ve o f M or ton's advance at the head of the Coven an t ers aga i ns t th e h o me of Edith Bellinden, appreciate at-once th e thrilling solem nity that might be thrown a roun d a d rama ti c v ersion of the incident by the hand o f one not on l y i n ti ma te with the ingenuities of stage effect, kit possessed of that golden key of genius which admits the aspirant into the garden of poetry, the garden hung with the jewel.fruits of imagery, and blooming with the amaranths of inspiration. Such an one is Westland Marston. He basso far habituated himself to the at mosphere of the theatres as to have fa miliarized himself with the mechanism essen. tial to the artificial compositions of the dramatist, without, however, losing an appetite for the freshness of reality in his artistic passion for the fictitious, without forsaking the blush of Nature for the hectic rouge of Art. Since the production of his noble tragedy of the Patrician's Daughter—a .tragedy which forthwith proved him to be a worthy contemporary of Bulwer Lytton, of Sheridan Knowles, of Talfourd, of Taylor, of White, of the authors of Richelieu-and the Athenian Captive, of the panegyrists of Virginius, and of Van Artsveldt, and of that sacerdotal illustrator of the history of Scot land who bade fair at the very outset of his career to emulate the celebrity of Home—since the first appearance of the Patrician's Daughter on the boards of Drury-lane, Mr. Marston has sedulously cultivated the gifts which at that period were suffi ciently apparent, he has developed his mastery over the language, and has imperceptibly (and almost unconsciously, perhaps, to himself) ripened his delicate yet vigorous imagination. The truth of this is manifest in the more dramatic character of Strathmore. In the Patrician's Daughter Mr. Marston rendered his effusion somewhat less suitable for representation on the stage from the very circumstance of his having dared, with the boldness of true genius, to introduce tragedy into the drawing-room without lowering the histrionic art to the coarseness of Lillo, or elevating it to the nearly melodramatic exaggerations of Moore. In Strathmore, however, he has at length ventured to put forth his powers in earnest, although even now we cannot but conjecture that, with a generalship not less suitable to the Poet than to the Warrior, he has retained under the cover of his futurity an effective and remarkable Reserve. Nevertheless we are not here endeavouring to guess at the excellence of his subsequent achieve ment, we have to do with what is actually under our consideration. Strathmore we have said evidences a very striking and perceptible improvement. Yet we are by no means disposed (as we have already indicated) to regard it as the completed masterpiece of Mr. Marston 's intellect. As far as the capacities of his intellect are concerned it is, to our mind, any thing but climactic. It reveals anything rather than that its author has in it reached the limits of his capabilities. For, beautiful as is the diction ; clever as is the dialogue ; touching as are the " situations ;" grand and even sublime as is the final incident, where Katharine, starting to her feet, adjures her betrothed rather than purchase life by dishonour to die l e s sad and solemn as is the catastrophe where the Loyalist-Covenanter, with "a night"—the night of death—" sleeping upon his face," expires in the rapture of a tardy reconciliation ; Strathmore is still far from being without either blemishes or deficiencies. Yet those blemishes are seldom beyond the subordinate blemishes of inad • vertence ; and only once arise from a violation of the exquisite code of taste. This occurs where Isabel, striving to console Katharine during the absence of Strathmore, says of despair, that it is a dissyllable only signifying the heart-ache and weak nerves, continuing— " All women have it ere they wed; it means The rash of love when oft too full a habit, And only needs Time's lancet for its cure !" The metaphor is mean, if not of a gross eccentricity, rather to be expected in the lyrics of Herrick, than in the dramas of Marston. In this one instance alone, however, is the language of the play beneath its pur pose ; and if we are not singularly mistaken, the lines were omitted on the first night of representa tion—being allowed to remain in the printed tragedy, possibly, through an oversight. In the second edition it will assuredly be expunged, or, at the least, be mo dified. As to the " deficiencies which we have spoken of, they are conspicuously these—a deficiency of attraction in the working of the underplot, and a deficiency of ,that moving and irresistible pathos which opens the flood gates of affection to the tears of sym pathy. In this respect the one over-powering scene between Macdonald and his mother, alone to our thinking, saved Glencoe from, "damnation." But for that exquisitely touching interview, the refined and classic poetry of Talfourd would have failed to secure the success of his production. If, how ever, Strathmore is in a great measure devoid of this talisman of dramatic triumph, it never theless possesses another scarcely if at all inferior in its influence. If it fails in one direction, it is eminently victorious in another ; it pos sesses a potency of its own over the emotions of its auditors—it thrills, here and there, to their very hearts with the abruptness of its melancholy casualties. As where, at the moment when Strathmore is rending asunder a ll the bonds of love and tender ness, in obedience to the inexorable dictates of prin ciple, he exclaims in a broken but exulting voice to his betrothed-- " Life rarely knows its heroes. Obloquy, Like dust, defiles the champion: still he strives, And at the grave, the sullied vesture falls From his worn limbs, his memory takes its stand Upon the tomb, and the world shouts—A Hero !" As where he cries out, later on, in a kind of deli. rious day-dream (having seised by force of arms the house of his betrothed, and committed her father, Sir Rupert Lorn, to a dungeon)— " Where am I?—Is this earth, or has the world Swerved from its path in terror, and recoiled To the first chaos? Is yon light the sun? Are these green hills? And has this roof been reared By human hands?—The ground is firm; I stand Alone; yet dare not turn lest fearful shapes Should give the lie to sense.—Alone ! ah, see. That old man stalks before me 1 Speak answer. — He's dumb.—And now from the quick breeding air There looms another form—dark, stern—my Father's!-- He points to him and asks me for his friend ! And 'twixt the two, there glides a cold face, blanched, With a child's agony I—Katharine, away ! I cannot bear those eyes !—Exact your vengeance ! My life T—No ; that were mercy !—Ah, ye smile— Ye fade and leave me.—'Tis my doom to live ! " As, again, where Katharine conjures up before the mem oryo f Strathmore the recollections that reproach him for his:present actions, at the close of which impas sioned adjuration her lover falls senseless at her feet : " See, nature in thee Revolts against the deed ! Thy feet are fixed To the detaining earth ! thy face is stone I A cry peals from these shuddering walls to pierce The vault of Time ; and, 10, the shrouded yea rs Leap from their graves I—Here, by the old man's side, The boyish steps have patter'd ; by yon hearth He held thee at his knee—his playful hand Entangled in thy hair—and stooped bis ear knelt To catch their prattle! By that chlt e ir b v i t To plight our troth before him, win . h *s e voice— A soldier's voice, weak with the weight of love— Faltered his blessing!—Come, be bold! end" fil there— Tby work ! Stan d on my father . 's hearth, There, where he ble ssed us—speak his doom ! As, in tine, where the tragic drama terminates with the thrilling catastrophe of the narrative. Many jewels of thought and imagery, many flowers of truth and sen timent, are lavishly scattered through the five acts of Strathmore. Several of these lines are singularly epigrammatic, and are worthy of being invested with the immortality of proverbs. For example, it is nobly said by Hamilton, act 1, sc. 1 : " The road to freemen's rights is o'er their gravel' Strathmore himself is not less sententious, when he exclaims, act v., ac. 2 : " He has no future who betrays his past." Our dramatist has occasionally in his present work been particularly felicitous in his descriptive " touches." In this manner Keith describes the battle with the men of Claverhouse— " Some sank in flight; Others with upraised hands, whose happy sou.'s O'ertoek their mounting prayers." With the same vivid forcefulness of diction, Katha rine calls aloud in her agony— !' My s@lu9 dri,fts helpless en this tide 9f h9n9r And again, when talking of the lingering anguish at her sorrows, she_says, with such striking energy— "'Tis said that dreams Curdle an age in moments." Here, moreover, is an expression which shows that Mr. Marston is no inattentive observer of human nature. Brycefield says of Isabel Lorn— _ " She has given her band, And then unclosed it with such lingering touch As made its farewell hinder than its clasp." Bitter retorts are not wanting to impart emphasis to the dialogue. In answer to a remark of Brycefield, Hamilton exclaims— " Betray! You think of Brycefield And speak of Strathmore." Also, where Isabel replies to an assurance from Brycefield, that she need " dread no violence"--- " We do not dread, sir, The thing we scorn." Of conceits, there are no lack in the more lively por tions of the drama. Here is a very dainty one, grace fully expressed : " I wore my lovers Even as my robes—a change for every mood. To-day I put on scarlet—in a soldier; A courtier—for my purple velvet, next; The third, a skirt of spangles—in a wit ; You frown again! nay, love for common wear There's none like tbat drab constancy of thine !" How impassioned can be the love passages in these compositions of Mr. Marston' may be conjectured from that one remark of Strathmore's to Katharine, where he is lamenting that he may never more ." Gaze on that unit which could fill for me" A vacant world—yourselj Of the interpolated drolleries which are employed as a foil to the tragic incidents, those can speak who have heard Buckstone, in the character of Roland, drawl forth— " Avoid thee ! seest thou not I am a vessel !" The antagonists of capital punishment might cavil at the phrase, " Murder's doom is death." but the millions of Hungary, and all the most heroic races in the world, would testify with one voice to the truth of that beautiful saying— " Though freedom's hosts Bleach the green earth with death, that cause is safe That hath its chief above!" Equally beautiful too is that sentence— " Sure, the courts of heaven Are peopled with the outcasts of this world!" Other fragmentary indications of the intellectual beauty squandered over the five acts of Strathmore cling to our recollection, What we have already ex- tracted will, nevertheless, amply attest the imaginative richness of the production. We congratulate Mr. , Marston with all cordiality on the signal success of his last dramatic creation. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (!'ROES OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE.

The yachting season is commencing very late. Tho Vice-Commodore has this season no house at the station, nor does he intend fitting out his yacht. The Commo dore has not yet taken a house, and it is stated that Lady Wilton and family will spend the summer in Lancashire. Very few houses are at present let at Cowes, though the rents have been very much reduced this year. Lord de Grey is expected down next week, and there have been very numerous inquiries for houses for the middle of July. TtsE CoonT.--Her Majesty is expected at Osborne on the 2d of July, for the season. Powlesse House and Oakfield Lodge have both been applied for for the Duchess of Kent. THE HAT HARVEST.—The crops are very heavy in the island this year, and the weather has been all that could be wished to secure it. The corn is much improved by the present splendid weather. THE POTATO BLIGHT.—We regret that we have bad accounts again of the potato crop. The blight appears spreading, but it is of a different character to that of former years. The plague spot is not seen on the leaf, but they curl up and die off. In other parts the stem is attacked; we speak of Niton, Carisbrook, and Shalfleet. Its appearing full a month earlier than common is a very serious matter, as so many early potatoes have this year been planted, the early ones having escaped in former Sears; added to which, the early carrot, bean, pea, and onion crops have failed, and those here are the main crops.

PETER'S COLLEGIATE SCHOOL, EATON -SQUARE. —I he distribution of Prizes took place on Thursday at this admirably conducted establishment, with more than ordi nary eclat; Lord E. Bruce, M.P., in the chair. The rapid advance this school has made, both in numbers and estima tion, must be solely attributable to the excellent system of education introduced by the head masters, the Rev. Dr. Wilson and Rev. J. Wilson, M.A. Reason and example and not the rod are used, while the comparative progress in learning is palpably in favour of such course, the apparent father and son. like feeling evidently existing between the master and pupil is quite charming. The gainers of prizes were— Masters Wilson, O'Neil, Hadley, Shipman, Robinson, Sandi. lands, Pass, Salter, Berm, How - litt, Slocock, Hill, B. Webster, W. S. Webster, Bryant, Malim, Matter, Thornhill, Handcock, Elliott, Symons, Cary, Scott, Bedford, Goodban. We then had recitations in Hebrew, Greek, Latin, German, French, and English, excellently delivered, concluding with "Dulce doreum ' and "God save the Queen," sung by all the boys in hearty chorus. Dr. Wilson and the Rev. Mr. Wilson, previous to the distribu tion of the prizes, eloquently pointed out that the principle of education should not be a fashion but a fact, and that by hiluismtilalninganidntdoiNtihnee,ycoouutlhdfuful tmuriseidadavraignhcetmapenprteacniadtiwonelofafrleawbes obtained, and that it was highly important that parents should second the master by urging their children to a strict observance of their duties. [ADVERTISEMEN T.] —The most Fearful Cases of Dropsy Curable by the Use of Holloway's Pills—The singular efficacy of Holloway's Pills in the numerous cures effected by their use in some of the most obstinate cues of Dropsy is truly astonishing. This medicine acts with such peculiar effect upon the system, that the fluids arising from this direful disease are imperceptibly evacuated, and wholly prevented from any further accumulation. The distressing symptoms which accompany the complaint being thus dispersed, the sufferer regains buoy ancy of spirits, and a completely renovated constitution. Fe males at a particular period of life should have recourse to these admirable Pills, which are sold by all Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.

The ROYAL ASYLUM Or ST. ANN'S SOCIETY. — The second day of the fancy fete for the benefit of this so ciety was held yesterday, at the Hanover-square Rooms. The attendance was numerous and highly respectable. The numbers who attended on the two days amounted to upwards of 1,500. The stalls of the Duchess of Marlborough, the Duchess of Leed-, the Ductless Dowager of‹Northumberland, the Lady Charlotte Guest, the Viscountess Combermere, the Hon. Mrs. G. Anson, Mrs. S. H. Lee, Mrs. R. Montgomery, Mrs. G. Combes, the Children, Lady Selsey, Lady Pearson, Lady Stanley, the Marchioness of Blandford, Lady C. Bathurst, the Viscountess Beresford, the Countess of Morley, were amply supplied with every variety of articles adapted for the cccasion. The appearance of the room was pecu liarly striking, each stall being prettily decorated with fes toons of white and blue muslin. It would be endless to spe cify the various inducements which were held out to pur chasers. Who would dare to doubt the fact, that the ladies are the most able, the most eloquent advocates in the cause of charity ? Who could withstand the eloquent appeal of the bright-eyed houris who promenaded the Hanover-square Rooms yesterday ? He must have been cold indeed fascina tion whose purse-strings were not open to such appeals, for irresitiosfsbulce. To th such lovely counsel secuuselreintary, mr.
