SHARE MARKETS, (THIS DAY.) AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday there was only a moderate demand, at the advance no ticed in the earlier part of the week, with the ex ception of Macaos and common qualities of Egyp tians, which wei* id. dearer. The sales were 6,000 bales. Fair cotton was quoted at—Mobile 6gd., and, Orleans 6d. per lb. The Railway Market was dull, and closed at its worst point. From the Bank return for the week ending the 10th inst., it appears that the amount of bullion has diminished, which, however, has not been to the large extent that was apprehended. The re payment of loans and the taking up of paper have operated upon private securities, which have de creased 500,0001. ; private deposits have also been smaller, by upwards of 500,0001., which proves that the moneyed interest is tight ; the public deposits, on the contrary, have increased about 250,0001. The statement shows the following re sults : Active Circulation Decrease Bullion Decrease Rest Increase Public Deposits Increase Other Deposits £19,763,090 133,765 11,234,438 65,196 3,208,583 30,414 3,369,984 235,374 11,166,069 Decrease Seven-Day and other Bills Decrease.. Government Securities Decrease Other Securities Decrease Notes unemployed 528,131 942,750 21,500 10,124,848 76,428 17,879,564 475,984 4,883,205 Increase 238,740 Accounts from Holland state that the reply of the Minister of Finance to the Chamber on that portion of the budget connected with the ways and means for the present financial year was not favour ably received. It appears that there has been an excess of six millions of florins in revenue above the expenditure of the year 1854-5, principally ow ing to the increase in colonial produce belonging to the State, and that the application of that in crease should be applied to the benefit of the Dutch colonies, whereas it is intended to be expended in the general disbursements of the State. On the Paris Bourse yesterday great activity was displayed in the Stock Market. Speculators were endeavouring to maintain the fall in Rentes of the preceding day, especially on the 3 per Cents. and 4i Stock, for delivery in Dec ember ; they not only remained firm at the opening, but advanced 10e. and 25c. during the day, and 3 per Cents. for money rose 5c., while the pur chasers were stated to be influential capitalists. Railway Shares, on the other hand, experienced a decided fall, ranging from sf. to 7f. 50c. on the principal lines, notwithstanding the favourable traffic returns for the year issued during the day. These returns show an increase of 15 million francs on the Paris and Lyons Railway, equivalent to 65 per cent, on the previous year. The Northern likewise shows an augmentation of 8 millions, or about 25 per cent. ; the Eastern, first concession, 8 millions, or 30 per cent. ; and the Western 7 millions, or about 32 per cent. The Directors of the Trust and Loan Company have just issued their report for the half-year ending the 30th September last. The net profits during that period amounted to 8,2781. 19s. 7d., and the total balance to the credit of revenue was 8,4301. 18s. Bd. It is recommended that a divi dend at the rate of 7 per cant. per annum should be declared on the paid-up capital of the company, and that one half of the surplus profits over 6 per cent. per annum should be applied to the reserve fund, in conformity with the terms of the company's charter. This addition would increase the reserve fund to 7,9631. 4s. 6d. Owing to exceptional and other causes the dividend for the past half-year of 8 per cent. per annum was not maintained, but it is stated that the deficiency is not likely to arise again. The company have not been able to proceed with their investments in Canada from their inability to ma ture several loans before the 30th of September, when the accounts for this country are made up, and this has been produced by the delays in the public registry offices. The report concludes by a favourable statement as to the prosperity of the colony, the increased price for land, the facility of transit, and other circumstances favourable to the interests of the company. In English Stocks the dealings have been cir cumscribed, and the prices have ruled rather heavy. There is no circumstance connected with the business done rewiring special notice. Sa turday being usua a quiet day Consols for Rummy opened at 874 to 88, and for account 88 to 881, and closed at 87i and 871 to 88 respectively. This is in both cases a decline of per cent. Exchequer Bills have receded ls., being lls. to 9s. discount. Bank Stock rose to 208 and 209. The New 3 per Cents. have been 871 and the Reduced 861 to 87. The aggregate business of the foreign market has not exceeded half a dozen bargains. Turkish 6 per Cents, have ruled at 79i to 80, and the New Scrip brought 4i discount, being weaker. Dutch 2 per Cents. have been 63f ; Russian 5 per Cents. 95i ; and Brazilian 44 per Cents. 921. The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6i to 7i ; Mexican, 191 ; Peruvian, 74 to 76 ; ditto Three per Cents., 52 to 54; Portuguese Four per Cents., 43 to 45 ; Russian Five per Cents., 94 to 96 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 85 to 88; Spanish New Deferred, in ; ditto Three per Cents., 38i ; ditto Certificates, 4 1 1 to 41 ; ditto Passive, 6to I. The general business in the Railway Share Mar ket has been very limited, but the most important feature has been an advance of about 11 per cent. in the Great Western shares. The chairman of the Company (Mr. S. H. Walpole) has published a letter, which shows the position of the company to be more favourable than many had expected, and which leads to an anticipation that a larger sum for the dividend will be available at the end of the current half-year. The other lines, although rather heavy, have not declined to any material extent. The foreign lines were quiet. The Mining and Miscellaneous undertakings ruled dull, but the banks were generally rather lower.

LITERATURE. i Pm Pm 11i ad 7 xd 107 i I The Story of the Campaign, of Sebastopol. Written in the Camp. By Lieutenant-Colonel E. Bruce Hamley, Captain, Royal Artillery. William Blackwood and Sons. In this picturesque narrative of the memorable story of the Campaign of Sebastopol" will be recognised the collective reprint of the very admi rable series of papers published during the past twelve months in Blackwood's Magazine. As we had conjectured almost from the period of its com mencement, anonymously, in Maga, the authorship of this narrative proves to have been correctly fathered by us upon the gallant and gifted writer of the popular romance of " Lady Lee's Widow hood." Having accompanied the expeditionaryarmy to the East when the war with Russia first broke out, Captain Hamley, afterwards Major, and ulti mately (by brevet) Lieutenant-Colonel—during the earlier period of the campaign in the Crimea, Adjutant to the first division of the Field Bat teries, and during the latter, Aide-de-Camp to Major-General Sir Richard Dacres, K.C.B.— availed himself from the very outset of what in his hands has turned out to be a priceless opportunity. An opportunity which, aided by remarkable in dustry and extraordinary intelligence, has at length revealed his name upon this goodly title-page as that of the self-constituted historian of the won derfully arduous, but, as it happens, the no less wonderfully successful, campaign of Sebastopol. Fulfilling with scrupulous exactitude his various regimental duties in connection with the Staff of the Artillery, now as Adjutant and now as Aide de-camp, Colonel Hamley contrived to jot down periodically those authentic notes upon the great events transpiring in the Crimea under his own immediate observation, notes which were recog nised from month to month as among the con spicuous attractions of Blackwood's Magazine, and which have ultimatelyexpanded into this admirably succinct and reliable epitome of contemporary oc currences. It is assuredly something very sur prising, to say the least of it, that the writer of these apparently precipitate and notoriously piece meal descriptions should, on the completion of his narrative, find that the course of events has in no case "rendered it necessary"—these are his own words—" to recant an opinion, or alter a state ment." This deliberate avowal being penned, re member ! in a simple and manly preface, dated Sebastopol, October sth, 1855—in reference to a work extending over some thirty-two chapters, or 340 pages octavo ! A work written originally in camp in the intervals of military duty— at first in a tent, and after Christmas in, a hut !" A work comprising within its li mits a record of occurrences as important as the rendezvous at Scutari and afterwards at Varna ; the invasion of the Crimea by the disem barkation at Eupatoria ; the inauguration of the Crimean war by the skirmish on the Bulganak ; the opening up of success to the banners of the Allies by the bloody triumph won upon the heights of the Alma ; the advance of the conquerors suc .cessively upon the banks of the Katcha and upon those of the Belbek ; the disorganisation of the whole of the elaborately-planned tactics of the Rus sian Commander-in-Chief, by reason of that me morable flank march in the direction of the Tcher naya, which suddenly conducted the legions of France to the bay of Kamiesh, and those of Eng land to that of Balaklava, and so enabled them together to commence upon the south side of Sebas topol that wonderful siege, beginning on the 17th of October, 1854, and ending on the Bth of Sep tember, 1855, with the glorious capture of the Malakhoff by our heroic Allies. Hurriedly writing this " Story of the Campaign," during the inter vals of military duty, first of all in his tent and afterwards in his hut, Colonel Hamley has never theless contrived to write, from the earliest to the latest chapter, with such uniform accuracy that, as we have already learnt from him through his "Preface," he has in no case found the course of events render it necessary "to recant an opinion or alter a statement." He has studiously endeavoured, he tells us, to deliver only a round unvarnished tale—stringing together historical events and memorable scenes, upon the thread of a personal narrative. In this object he has succeeded —to admiration. Among all the various records which have already appeared, descriptive of the great struggle in the Crimea, this picturesque and authentic ' Story of the Campaign," by Colonel Hamley, is the most reliable, because it is through out the most scrupulously calm, sedate, and unim passioned. Participating himself in this struggle personally, Colonel Hamley nevertheless viewed it, from first to last, dispassionately, as though he had been them, merely as some chance spectator. It is in his character as a witness thus gifted with an almost unparalleled self-possession under circum stances calculated to disturb any ordinary man's equanimity, that we find our author coolly essay ing hie Foiled a* well ma hie p©n in the midst of the smoke and uproar of a protracted and murderous bombardment. The ten beautifully elaborated draw ings scattered among the letterpress of the handsome volume hero under our notice—drawings including a sketch-map of Sebastopol and the siege works the produce, each and all of them, of the artistic skill of the writer of the companion narrative— assist not merely as illustrations of the scenes de scribed, but, be it observed, also very distinctly as illustrations no less obvious of the coolness with which those scenes were examined at the time with a view to their being ultimately so described. The coloured frontispiece affords us in this way a most acceptable glimpse of the modus operandi, as far as the camp work in hut is concerned—opening to view a very Robinson-Crusoe-like interior, snug and primitive, sociable and jovial enough even, for that matter, with a brother a id e -d e - cam p i n " mufti," calmly plying his goosequill at the board on-tressels called a table; while Sir Richard Dacres, lounging on an American chair, leisurely runs his eye down the columns of a newspaper ; Colonel Hamley himself, seated upon a camp stool, luring to him a sort of half-naturalised and wholly do mesticated Crim-Tartary cat—puss, nothing loath to be so petted, with her tail in the air and her comfortable purr all but audible—answering it seems to the name of Mrs. Stowe's queer little comical capital Topsy. Another coloured litho graph, quite a companion picture to this frontispiece, presents to view the " exterior" of the same hut, into the interior of which the other has enabled us to pry so very complacently—com prising portraits no less authentic, those we mean of our author's stud, surrounded by livestock, in cluding sheep, cocks, hens, geese, and turkeys. The sketch-map of Sebastopol and the siege works will be found by all the readers (in its present collective shape) of this same enthralling " Story of the Campaign of Sebastopol " singularly ac ceptable, as elucidatory of the various complicated events herein recounted. Besides the valuable drawings already particularised, our author's illus trations comprise, among their number, a view of the Field of Alma, another of the Monastery of St. George, another of the cliffs at the same monastery, another of Balaklava in the winter, besides a sketch of Sebastopol taken from the look-out place, a peep at the valley of Tchergoum, and another of a group of Zouavos busily occupied in rubbing and scrubbing at a washing-place, each like the veriest blanchisseur. It is important to remember in as far as relates to this story of the campaign, penned by Colonel Hamley, of the Artillery, that the gallant author in no instance writes upon mere hearsay. "In all the actions, small and great, of the campaign," says h e , " 1 was enabled to be spectator as well as actor"—acquainted, as he tells us immediately afterwards, necessarily, of course, with our own trenches ; but, besides this, scarcely less so with the siege works of the French, scarcely any one of which he appears to have left unvisited. " Besides these opportunities," observes Colonel Hamley, " a residence at head-quarters has neces sarily placed me in the focus of information of all kinds not confidential." Empowered thus admir ably by his position in the camp to write an accu rate and reliable narrative of the Campaign before Sebastopol, Colonel Hamley, as the book before us testifies so very brilliantly, has well employed his singular abilities in " working up" into an authentic record of events the valuable materials of history placed within his reach by this rare and inestimable combination of really golden oppor tunities.

SOUTH WALES RAILWAY Passages Selected from the Works of Thomas Carlyle. With a Biographical Memoir by Thomas Ballantyne. Chapman and Hall. The remarkable and original genius of Thomas Carlyle has long been recognised by the m o re dis cerning of his contemporaries. Of this recognition there have recently been two somewhat notable indications. It is particularly observable, for ex ample, as one of these, that Charles Dickens in scribed his last work of fiction, " Hard Times," to Mr. Carlyle—as perhaps the most marked tribute ho could possibly have given of his earnest sense of the humanising tendency of the writings of that eminent man in his character as a practical philan thropist. Since then—indeed only within the few days last past—Mr. G. H. Lewes has formally de dicated the two volumes of his biography of Goethe to Thomas Carlyle, "as a memorial of gratitude for intellectual guidance and of esteem for rare and noble qualities." Prec i sely at what may be termed without anything like exaggera tion (speaking of so great, original, and philo sophic a Thinker) this notable epoch in the career of Thomas Carlyle—there appears this" singularly well timed and acceptable volum e of Passages " se lected from his writings, together with a memoir of the author from the ha nd of Mr. Ballan tyne.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) THAMES. STEALING A WATCH FROM A SAlLOR.—Elisabeth Bro derick was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a silver watch and gold chain, value 101., from the person of a seaman, named James Alfred Todd. 1291 la die 99 100 The prosecutor said that he was passing along Devon shire-street, Commercial-road East, last night, when the prisoner, who was standing at the door of a house, spoke to him, and asked him if he would stand treat. He said he did not mind doing so, and went into the house. The prisoner invited him to take a seat by the fire, and said she dearly loved a sailor. He sent for grog, and after he had treated " the young lady" he fell asleep. When he awoke he missed his watch and gold chain, and missed the prisoner also. He kicked up ajolly row, and the prisoner came into the room soon afterwards. He accused the prisoner of stealing his watch and chain, which she denied. He called in a police•constable and gave the prisoner into custody. Mr. Yardley—Were you drunk or sober last night 1 Witness—About three sheets in the wind. (A laugh.) A. police-constable, who was called into the house where the alleged robbery was committed, said it was situate in John's-place, Baker-street, Stepney, not in Devonshire-street, which was on the south side of the road. John's-place was on the north side of the Com mercial-road, and a mostinotorious receptacle for thieves, ruffians, and prostitutes of the lowest character. Mr. Yardley--Yes, I have heard of John's-place. I suppose the sailor was so drunk last night that he did not know where he was robbed. The policeman—He was very drunk. . _ Mr. Yardley said no watch was found, and the evi dence would not justify him in detaining the prisoner. She must be discharged. This was a demurrer to a plea relative to an alleged obstruction of a tramway or railway, over which the plaintiffs had a right of passing. Mr. K Smith, Mr. Keating and Mr. Gray appeared for the plaintiffs ; Sir F. Kelly and Mr. Phipson for the defendants. ' It appeared that the plaintiffs were owners of a col liery in the Forest of Dean, and had a right of using a certain tramway in connection with the Forest of Dean Railway, which the defendants, under the Railway Clauses Consolidation Act, and the special acts of 1845 and 1851, had the control, and of making crossings and cuttings. In exercising these powers the plaintiffs con tended the defendants had obstructed their right of way without providing them with a remedy, as they were bound to do. The Court, after hearing the arguments on both sides, gave judgment for the defendants. Mr. We'shy applied for a rule to set aside the pro ceedings in the issue and service of a writ under the 18th and 19th Vic., chap. 67, the act of last session to facilitate the recovery of bills of exchange. The ques tion at issue was the payment of costs. The 7th section provides for the payment of bills of exchange and pro• missory notes, and that if paid within a certain time all proceedings shall cease. The act also further required the indorsing of the writ with the amount to be paid and the expenses thereon, meaning interest and noting, but nothing was said relative to costs. The learned counsel contended that as no mention was made of costs in the clause of the new act it - coirld not be enforced. Mr. Hayes, in opposing the application, argued that the Common Law Procedure Act must be construed with the 18 and 19 Vict., chap. 67, or it would be im possible to proceed under that Act. It was necessary in to manyt he parts wordsof the o fth Actsome Act to arrive little violence r should be d op e e u r l oneconstruc tion, and that must be done in this instance by engraft ing on it the section of the Common Law Procedure Act relative to costs. ••• `'" M. ... - ...

SAVAGE ASSAULTS.—A man, who gave his name William Barris, was charged with the following out rageous conduct. It appeared from the evidence that at twelve last night, Brinkhurst, 112 D, saw the pri soner lying drunk in the Edgware-road. Be had hold of the trousers of a man with his teeth, and was endea vouring to bite his leg. The officer with great difficulty got prisoner away, upon which he (prisoner) kicked with great violence, and made a desperate attempt to bite his arm. Other constables came up, and prisoner was after much resistance conveyed to the station-house. The prisoner, in answer to the charge, pleaded intoxi cation as an excuse for his misconduct, and hoped that the magistrate would deal with him as leniently as he could. Mr. Long told him that be could not be permitted to assault parties without being made to suffer for the same, and fined him 205., in default of payment 14 days' im prisonment. _ NOTORIOUS BRGGARS.—Thomas Wetforcl and Mary, his wife, two of the most notorious beggars in London, who have pursued their " trade" for nearly 20 years, and have been repeatedly convicted at all the police-courts, were again brought up by Fryer, an officer of the Men dicity Society. They were committed for a month to* their old guar ters in the House of Correction. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.--(mss Day.) E. L N O .

W.A.GHS OF AGRICULTURA L LABOURERS.--Th e annual "statutes," or hirings of farm servant s , h ave just com menced in the West Riding of Yorkshire. The Wake field statutes were held on Monday, and the Doncaster statutes on Tuesday. There was a pretty good attend ance of servants at both places, the hiring was very brisk, the demand for farming men being greater than the sup ply. Wages ruled high, the best hands obtaining from 151. to 221.; boys, 51. to 81.; girls, from 71. to 101. ST. MARY, ISLINGTON.—PUBLIC LlBRARlES.—Yes terday a public meeting of the ratepayers of this parish was held in the parochial schools, Church-street, in order to determine whether the act for further pro moting the establishment of free public libraries and museums in municipal towns should be adopted for this parish. Mr. John Savage, the seniorchurchwarden, was called to the chair. Various speeches followed pro and con., and ultimately a stormy meeting closed with a show of bands being taken, when an amendment was proposed and carried against the proposition. 855. that the latter are for the most part chosen judi ciously and discriminatively, and that the former is characterised by a tone of earnest and unaf fected appreciation. Mr. Ballantyne is, of course, a Carlylist to the backbone. His mind, so to speak, is fairly saturated with Carlylism. Carlylism he has been so long steeped in, that it may be said to have permeated his whole being intellectually. Nevertheless, he speaks of Carlyle and his writings, throughout, not as one simply infatuated, but as one who has seen and comprehended the philoso phy of which the powerful genius of Carlyle is the authoritative exponent. Every one who thinks of Carlyle as Mr. Ballantyne thinks of him sincerely as we have already said, earnestly and unaffectedly, —and such appreciators there are nowadays scat tered up and down the land in hundreds, almost we might add for the sake of the pun, in whole parishes—will gladly hail the fact of this volume's welcome and timely appearance. Through it those as yet unacquainted with the great masterpieces of Carlyle in their entirety, may comprehend in some measure the power of each in turn in a way so far sufficient, although of course quite fragmentary. "Passages " there are among those here selected and grouped together—" Religious" and "Political," relating to "The Gospel of La bour," to " Social Reform," to "Journalism," and to " Literature." One th ere i s, complete in itself, a masterly essay upon " Jean Paul Richter," with which the book of selections before us has been wisely consummated. But the introduc tory " Passages" are at the same time, of all, the most noble and the most noteworthy, those taken from the two most considerable and memorable of the great works penned by Thomas Carlyle, his glorious biography of " Cromwell" and his wonder ful " History of the French Revolution." The writer of masterpieces such as these, is surely the very man of whose literary productions there should be given to the public at large just such a volume of illustrative selections, even though the public so catered for should happen to consist, as in the present instance, of the writer's own imme diate contemporaries. Cordially, therefore, do we here welcome these admirably selected Passages from the writings of Thomas Carlyle as perhaps among the noblest exemplars that could be afforded the general public of the genius of one of the great English worthies of our generation. ANOTHER BO.TLICR EXPLOSION. GATESHEAD, Nov. 15.—Yesterday an inquest was held by Mr. Hudson, the Deputy-Coroner for North Durham, at Black-hill, on the body of a young man named Joseph Eltringham, who was killed, and other workmen seriously injured, by a boiler explosion which took place at the Consett Ironworks a few days previ ously. It appears that eight boilers were connected by one steampipe, and two by one feedpipe. The boiler that exploded was one of two used in driving one of Na smyth's patent hammers. It had burst with awful vio lence, and had thrown the deceased a distance of 45 yards. The boiler divided into two parts ; one part flew 91 yards from its seat, the other part 96 yards. The head engineer of the works had no reason to think that the indicator on the boiler had been wrong. It was de ceased's duty to see that the valves and floats were in order, and there is little doubt, from the evidence, that the explosion had arisen from an insufficiency of water in the boiler. Mr. Godley, the gentleman above-mentioned, was of opinion that the boiler had " sludged," after which the valve had not been sufficiently closed, owing to something having got into the case, and that the water had thus escaped. After the explosion Mr. Godfrey examined the feedpipes as well as he could, and found that the valve belonging to the boiler "vas open a quarter of an inch. He said, from the way they fed their pipes, they could not prime over, and, by closely examining the plates of the boiler, he found that, immediately above the fire-bridge, they had the appearance of having been red-hot, and that the plate was torn away. The thickness of the plate was three-quarters of an inch. The boiler at that part which gave way was perfectly safe, and the water was generally kept about a foot above the flue, which leaves a space of from two feet to two feet ten inches for the generation of steam. Witness concluded that at the time the boiler exploded the deceased was tending the feedpipe, having found the boiler short of water. The boiler was supplied with hot water, and hot water generates steam quicker than cold water. He believed that if Eltringham had noticed the boiler a little before the accident might have been prevented. If he (wituess) found a boiler in a dangerous condition through want of water he would damp the fire, and open the fire doors, but by no means would he draw the fire out. The boiler was pressed 311 b. to the inch. The jury returned a verdict of "Ac• cidentally killed." This is the third boiler explosion that has happened in the district in little more than two mouths, by which 10 persons have been kiiled,and above a score dangerously injured. The coroner remarked at the inquest that he had consulted the Government, but the Home-office did not think it requisite that an engineer should come down to examine the boiler, as it was not probable that large companies would allow acci dents to happen if they could prevent them, for they were usually attended with expense to themselves, as well as involving the loss of life. The other persons in jured by the explosion are recovering. MARKET NEWS.—(This Day). COVENT GARDEN.

THE EXHIBITION OF PHOTOGRAPHS. TAKEN IN THE CRIMEA BY ROGER FENTON. The most attractive exhibition in London is still open to public view at 5, Pall-mall -east, the Gal lery of the Old. Water Colour Society —the extraor dinary exhibition of some three hundred PHOTO GRAPHIC PICTURES taken in the Crimea during the spring and summer of the present year, by Roger Fenton, Esq., a gentleman who has earned for himself from this time forth the reputation of being one of the most eminent of living photographers. We have no record in past days of anything at all comparable to this really astonishing exhibition. It is beyond all manner of question the result of an enterprise obviously and entirely unparalleled. For this enterprise we are indebted in the first in stance to the firm of the Messrs. Thomas Agnew and Sons, the distinguished publishers and print sellers of M anc h ester. Satisfied that the under taking, however startling from its novelty, was after all capable of being accomplished by a judicious combination of skill and munificence, the Messrs. Agnew determined about a year ago to give to the world a series of actual sun-pictures of the great warlike events transpiring in the Crimea. Ex pressing it otherwise, we might say quite as accurately, that they resolved to hold, every now and then, " a mirror up to Nature," a mirror upon whose surface there should be indelibly fixed, in a succession of magic instants, whatever might hap pen at the time to be reflected in it. Already they have so far accomplished their strange and daring enterprise that upwards of 300 of these exquisitely preserved reflections of the scenes and heroes of the war are at this present moment ranged along the walls of the Old Water Colour Gallery, No. 5, Pall-mall -east, to be seen for the fee of one shilling, and examined leisurely with the illustrative aid of a little sixpenny catalogue. Imagine our fore fathers during the early part of the last century having been in any way so privileged. Fancy Sir Dick Steele and the Right Hon. Joe Addison loung ing arm in arm some fine morning into one of the popular show-places hard by the Haymarket, bent upon wiling away an hour or two together over authentic reflections caught in some strange magical manner through the wizard glass of some wonderful necromantic kind of apparatus, and imprinted in a twinkling upon some incona ! prehensible sort of miraculously sensitive paper-- here a veritable life-portrait of Marlborough, there an actual glimpse of th e " f oug h ten field' of Mal plaquet ! Fancy even as recently as the days of the last great war—the last war of the giants-- fancy our excellent friends Corinthian Tom, and Jerry Hawthorne, a n d r idi cu l ous B o b L og i c, doing (just once in a w a y) anyt hi ng as " slow as saun tering down some St. Ja mes ' s p i cture gallery intent upon examining for themselves the shadows, the lite ral shadows—painted, engra ve d, and printed in a single moment of time b . y the w e i r d pencil of the sunbeam—of the smoking battle -fields of Assaye and Vittoria, or again of the living and breathing forms of a Picton or a Wellesley ! Fancy this, and, while you do so, you are no doubt conjuring u p a conjuncture of circumstances which were altogeth er preposterous and absolutely impossible when th e eighteenth, or even this present nineteenth, cen tury, was in its teens, but which s never theless not merely possible nowadays, but actually, and effectually, and brilliantly ac complished. Ecce signa—these photographic pic tures to the number of three hundred and odd taken in the Crim ea d ur ing the recent spri ng and summer, during the memorable interval, in fact, which elapsed between the heroic defence of the Inkerman Passes by the English, and the equally heroic capture of the Malakhoff Tower by the French, a memorable epoch, an epoch memorable by many a chivalr ous passage of arms in the trencl'es, midway betw een that glorious sth of November, and that no less glorious Bth of Sep tember. Later on the remarkable photographic pictures now in Pall-mall are to be placed more directly within reach of the general public through the medium of a splendid serial publica tion. Meanwhile, the original sun-pictures them selves—not mere copies of them—are being at this very time exhibited, as wo have said, collectively. THE LATE TRAGEDY AT BRIGkTOIST. (From the Lancet.) We had intended, agreeably to an intimation made in our last number, to have entered at som e l eng th i nto a consideration of ? the many deeply interesting medico legal points connected with the mysterious deaths of Dr. Franck and his son, at the Albion Hotel, Brighton. The case is exciting the deepest interest throughout the country, and forms the subject of conversation amongst all classes of society. The awful character of the tragedy, the mystery in which it appears to be enveloped, the unaccountable omissions of the coroner in not directing post vtortem examinations of the bodies, are all topics entitled to grave, serious, and patient investigation. Did Dr. Franck, sane or insane, kill his son, and then de stroy himself Was the case one of voluntary strangu lation, the suicide of the father following rapidly upon the heels of tbe discovery of the son's seledestruction ? Did the son die a natural and sudden death from disease of the heart or brain—as suggested by Dr. Winslow, in his letter to the Times on Tuesday, tbe lath in stant—and the father, in a paroxysm of temporary delirium or insanity, caused by the discovery of the son's sudden death, throw himself from the window Was chloroform given to produce insensibility and death, or was some potent poison, like hydrocyanic acid, introduced into. the stomach, thus extinguish. ing life ? How can these deeply important ques tions be satisfactorily solved unless both bodies be exhumed, and subjected to thoroughly searching examinations? In the head of the father there might be found a suffieient extent of cerebral or roeningeal disease to account for insane acts, and to relieve him in great measure, if not entirely, moral responsibility, even if it should be ascertained that he was the cause of the death of his eon. Ail the vital organs of the body of the son should be subjected to a most scrutinising investigation ; and should the cause of death be undis coverable in them, the stomach and intestines and their contents, and also as much of the blood as can be col lected, should be submitted to a patient and competent chemical analysis. Of course the examination of the body would extend to a careful inquiry, in the case of the father, to the extent and bearings of the goitre on the large blood vessels in its locality; and, in the case of the son, to the condition of the parts underneath where th e silk scarf was found on the neck, and the state of the air-tube in that situation. The skin of the neck in the son, and also the hands of both bodies, should be exa mined minutely, with a view to the discovery of the marks of finger-nails. The contents of the phial found in the room should also be exposed to a thorough analytical inquiry, and all these investigations should now be made as publicly as possible. Connected with the whole case scarcely anything ap pears to us to be more extraordinary than the breathless haste with which the inquest was held after the deaths took place, only 7 hours having elapsed between the oc currence of the cat aatrophe and the assembling of the jury. Without doubt the proprietor of the hotel was desirous that the bodies should be removed from his premises as quickly as possible. That might have been done by an order from the coroner, and they might have bee n re moved to the dead.house connected with the er paroch i al rem church, or even to the premises of the and . talk metropolis. The ployed on the occasion—a practice which no often pur sued with much convenience in jury might have viewed the bodiesere inspected the room the deaths happened, and migh t t h ave e at the place where the window from e a b n o d d i e s might have been where wich t t h h e e fa d th ec er ea fe se n d_h an ad d t s h l e e n p to demand.

We hope that the medi ca l f aculty at Brighton will not remain passive in this matter, but, exercising a proper An d legitimate professional spirit, insist upon the insti tution of a full inquiry into these mysterious and melan choly deaths. The scalpel, laboratory, and microscope may solve the mystery, and at once satisfy the craving appetite for exact scientific information. We conse quently defer any further remarks on the case, while so much is left to mere conjecture, and when a correct course of proceeding may lead to a discovery of facts whi ch may tend to a removal of all doubt and uncer tainty on the subject. The remains of the late Lord Truro are to be interred this day (Saturday) at Ramsgate.
