MONEY MARKET 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 wer• Id. dearer. The sales were 6,000 bales. Fair cotton was quoted at—Mobile 6gd., and Orleans 61d. 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 wpon 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 £19,763,090 133,765 11,234,438 65,196 3,208,583 30,414 3,369,984 235,374 11,166,069 Increase Public Deposits Increase Other Deposits Decrease Seven-Day and other Bills Decrease Government Securities 528,131 942,750 21,500 10,124,848 Decrease Other Securities Decrease Notes unemployed Increase 76,428 17,879,564 475,984 4,883,205 238,740 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 41 Stock, for delivery in December ; they not only remained firm at the opening, but advanced 10c. 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 8,430/. 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. Gd. 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 requiring special notice. Sa tarday being usually a quiet day Consols for money opened at 87i to 88, and for account 88 to 881, and closed at 87/ I T , and 87i to 88 respectively. This is in both cases a decline of per cent. Exchequer Bills have receded is., being lls. to 9s. discount. Bank Stock rose to 208 and 209. The New 3 per Cents. have been 87i and the Reduced 86i. to 87. The aggregate business of the foreign market has not exceeded half a dozen bargains. Turkish per Cents. have ruled at 79i to 80, and the New Scrip brought 41 discount, being weaker. Dutch 21 per Cents. have been 63i ; Russian 5 per Cents. 951 ; and Brazilian 41 per Cents. 92i. The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks : Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6 to 71 ; Mexican, 19k 1 ; 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, 19-a ; ditto Three per Cents., 381 ; ditto Certificates, 41 to 41 ; ditto Passive, 6 to 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. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOC.' . Fron% the Oftcial Lilt.) Businoab done Bank Stock 3 per Cent.

(Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief Justice Campbell, Justices Coleridge, Wightmr 613, and Erle.) TANNER AND ANOTHER V. SOUTH 'WALES RAILWAY COMPANY. This was a demurrer to a plea rrilative to an alleged obstruction of a tramway or rail% y, over which the plaintiffs had a right of passing. Mr. M. Smith, Mr. Keating and Kr . Gray appeared for the plaintiffs ; Sir F. Kelly and Ur. 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 t/a e Forest of Dean Railway, which the defendants, unoder the Railway Clauses Consolidation Act, and the special acts of 1845 and 1851, had the control, and of ina,lfing crossings and cuttings. In exercising these powers the plaintiffs con tended the defendants bad obstructed their right of way without providing them with a rem eily, as they were bound to do. The Court, after bearing the argumi sn is on both sides, gave judgment for the defendants. COURT OF EXCHEQU ?ER. (Sittings in Banco.—Before Barons Ularke, Alderson, Platt, and Martin.) ROBINSON V. COTTERELIi- Mr. Welsby applied fur a rule to sot 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 exchaug e. The ques tion at issue was the payment of costs. 7he 7th section provides for the payment of bills of exalt; tnge and pro missory notes, and that if paid within a o 3rtain time all proceedings shall cease. The act also frc ether required the indorsing of the writ with the amo runt to be paid and the expenses thereon, meaning inter oat 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 could not 100 enforced. Mr. Hayes, in opposing the application, argued that the Common Law Procedure Act must be construed with the 18 and 19 Viet., chap. 67, or it. - would be im possible to proceed under that Act. It 'arm 1 necessary in many parts of the Act some little violence gi henld be done to the words of the Act to arrive at a p yo per construc tion, and that must be done in this insta nc me by engraft ing on it the section of the Common Law Procedure Act relative to costs. Mr. Baron Alderson said it was well k . afawn this diffi• .culty was a matter of pen and ink, won Is, having been struck out in the draft of the bill which , when it was printed, escaped detection. The inserti, ant of the word "and" and a blank left would have cured the defect. In fact a "blank would have been a prize " fal• the learned Counsel.

The Criminal Court of Appeal appointed to be held this morning for the judgment of the Court, in the case of Gordon, at present undergoing a penal. conviction in Newgate for not surrendering to his bankr uptey, was ad journed for a week, in consequence of thrs - illness of the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—( This_Day.) THAMES. STEALING A WATCH FROM A. SAlLOR. — Erizabeth, Bro derick was brought before Mr. Yardley, <charged with stealing a silver watch and gold chain, yam° 101., from the person of a seaman, named James Alfred Todd. 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 - Tor grog, and after he had treated " the young lady" he fell asleep. When he awoke he missed his watch and g old chain, and missed the prisoner also. He kicked up a jollyrow, 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 aid gave the prisoner into custody. Mr. Yardley—Were you drunk or sober Last night ? 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 Devonehiln-street, which was on U. afmth vide 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 Joln's-place. I suppose the sailor was so drunk last night that he did not know where he was robbed. The pelioeman—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. M &EY LEBONE. 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, 112 120, saw the pri soner lying drunk in the Edgware-road. He 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 he 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 BEGGARB.—Thontas Wetford 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 .

WAGES OF AGRICULTURAL LABOURERS.—The annual " statutes," or hirings of farm servants, have 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 senior churchwarden, 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 Pad carried against the proposition, LITERATURE. 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, anonymo us ly, i n M aga , th e a u th or ship 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 expeditionary army 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- Iderfully 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 tojot 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 ultimately expanded 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 I 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 I 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 there 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 his pencil as well as his pen in the midst of the smoke and uproar of a protracted and murderous bombardment. The ten beautifully elaborated draw ings suabtolvdcsuivu g ttho letterpress of the handsome volume here 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 aide-de-camp in " mufti," calmly plying his goosequill at the board on-tressels called a t a bl e ; w hil e Si r Ri c h ar d D acres, lounging on an American chair, leisurely runs his eye down the columns of a news p a p er ; C o l one l 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 p r y so ver y 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 Zouaves 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 he, " I 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 Haniley, 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. 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 more 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 he 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 fevr 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." Precisely at what may be termed without anything li ke exaggera tion (speaking of so great, original, an d philo sophic a Thinker) this notable epoch inthe career of Thomas Carlyle—there appears this , s ingularly well timed and acceptable volume of ‘ Passages" se lected from his writings, together with a memoir of the author from the hand of Mr. Ballantyne. Enough said in regard both to the Memoirs and to the Selected Passages, if we observe X 55. ' - that the latter are for the most part chosen judi ciously and discriminatively, and that, the former is characterised by a tone of earnes); and unaf fected appreciation. Mr. 13allantyne is, of course, a Carlylist to the b ac kb one . Hi s m i n d, so t o spea k , . • fairly saturated with Carlylism. earlylism he !leas 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. Ballantyno thinks of him sincerely as we have already said, earnestly and unaffectedly, —and such appreciators there are noi vadays scat tered up and down the land in hundreds, almost - we might add for the sake of the pun, in wh o l e 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 i n th e i r en ti re t y , m ay 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 . lhere select e d an d groupe d together--" Religious', "Political," relating to "The Gospel of La ; ;hour," to " Social Reform," to " Journalism," and Ito " Literature." One there is, complete in itself, masterly essay upon " J ean Pau l Richter, " - with which the book of selections before us Las been wisely consummated. But the introduc ! gory " Passages" are at the same time-, of all, the =lost 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 I;he general public of the genius of one of the great _ English worthies of our generation. .ANOTIIE.R BOILER 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 Cousett 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 bad 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 au 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 was 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 (witness) 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 i that has happened in the district in littl e more th an t wo l months, by which 10 persons have been killed,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.

Spirit Mthe Public Journals. ( From the Times of this day.) There are, perhaps, those who had expected that the Emperor of the French would close the Paris Exhibition with a speech full o f arts, science, and civilisation, and with scarcely a passing allusion to the war. That would, indeed, have been more in accordance with the anticipations of millennial peace in which we were all indulging at the close Of the Exhibition in Hyde Park. But it would have presented a tremendous discord with fact ; it would have offered a hollow flattery to the heart of every thoughtful bearer ; and it would have be lied the emotions of the man who uttered the words. The Sovereign who wields the whole force of a mighty empire against the most powerful an tagonist that earth can supply to the lists of war could not, on such an occasion, even pretend to forget the burden laid upon him. Called on to address the representatives of many nations, he could not but d we ll upon those first duties which and alnationsl witho u towe which t to the world d ewor o ld no an t deatronthe themselves, sweet guerdons of peace. It is not merely that the ter rible events of the day, in their majestic import, pale and pageantry of art and d warf the festivals iof civilisation ; it s that no genero us m i nd can abandon itself to lighterinterests in the presence of the more heroic and painful struggle. Every pursuit of peace must yield to the preservation of that liberty and independence, without which peace itself is only the livery of bondage, and art only the craft of a slave. Greatly as we appreciate the indus try and skill that minister to the common wants of the body or the high instincts of the soul, we feel that nothing is more precious than national honour. The two great Western Powers have been foremost in inviting the nations of Europe to the competitions of peace. They have also led the way in the nobler cause of European freedom. It is by no fortuitous coincidence, nor yet only of set purpose, that they have placed themselves in the van of two such different move ments. It was their greater freedom and stronger self-dependence that placed them where they stand, at the head of commerce, manufacture, and art, and that prompted them to make their capitals the marts of the world. To the very same qualities they owe their prominence in another field. They are at once foremost in arts and arms, and lead in the one because they d o a l so i n t h e other. Thus (it naturally comes to pass that the throne of an " Exhibition" is the fittest place for appealing to the patriotism of nations and tho common honour of Europe. Indeed, why are the artists and manu facturers of Europe there at all—why, amid the crash of arms and the wide apprehension of evil, do they flock first to our insular metropolis, then to that other capital, which forty years ago was not safe from hostile intrusion ! We are safe, be cause we are forward, just, and free. Wo respect ourselves, and the earth respects us. Of two nations we will say what it m i ght have been egotism if applied only to ourselves, and to our particular form of government. When other capitals have witnessed such assemblages, we shall then have better hopes of the freedom and peace of Europe. The Emperor very opportunely appeals to that public opinion which ought to have so declared itself as to supersede the appeal to arms. It is, in fact, public opinion, suppressed elsewhere from a false prudence, that the Western Powers have had the courage to represent and avow. War has its vicissitudes, and the greatest victories have but a passing effect. Opinion, under .Heaven,dis poses human affairs ; and they who aid to direct and assert it are the true conquerors, liberators, and statesmen of the world. Had the German Powers two years ago only acted up to the opinion they held in common with us, Europe would not have seen the lamentable spectacle of the three greatest nations in the Old World, besides lesser States, inflicting upon one another an amount of loss that ages will not repair. The conscience of Europe spoke plain enough, but the tongue that should have spoken faltered, and the hand that should have struck trembled, before the scowl of the aggressor. It is not the audacity of England and France, but the palsied arm of shifty Austria and the weak treble of cowering Prussia that have inflicted thi s grea t woun d on Russian pride and power. Had they been true to opinion, omarsund, Sweaborg, Kertch, Sebastopol, Kin bourn, would still have been unscathed and unex plored, the Emperor Nicholas would probably have defied " the juggling fiend" that betrayed him to his doom, and his representatives might have stood the day before yesterday before the Emperor of the French with a brilliant display of Russian produce and. skill. To the great defaulting Powers Europe owes the loss of 1,000,000 men. Yet is their own loss still greater than that of the Powers they have left to fight out the battle. Austria and Prussia can only exist under pressure. The many explosive elements of the population can only be kept down by the neighbourhood of other Powers representing cimpler principlc., anti more able to take part in European struggles without fears from within. If that day should come, which possibly German po liticians may be foolish enough to hope for, when the exhaustion of the belligerents is to leave them at the mercy of the untouched neutrals, it will then be seen how C en t ra l E urope will reap the harvest and divide the w rec k, an d whether bursting opinion, insurgent class, and groaning nationality will do meekly the biddings of despotsleft alone on the earth. In that day we confidently predict the greater the strength of Central Europe the greater her weak ness, for she will find her resources only reserved to be uncontrollable, and that when she has no rival she has also no friend. Austria and Prussia are now earning nothing from either side in the present struggle ; they best know themselves what store of merit they are laying up with their own populations. Is it possible that these Great Exhibitions have done us mischief, by inducing a belief that the Western Powers, taught by a painful experience and enamoured of luxury and show, had forsworn war and preoccupied themselves with more agree able pursuits ? Certainly we can imagine the Rus sian exhibitors carrying home some such idle com ment, for they certainly saw what at St. Petersburg would have been deemed fatal to a purely military Power. But can the Austrian and Prussian exhi- bitors also have concluded that wo had lost our national character, and were no longer formidable If this entered into their reckoning when they w ithdrew e w ithdrew from the councils o f Eurp and left England and France either to fi g ht alone to give iu, they must by this tim e perce i ve their mistake. They must see that, together with Exhibitions and other works of peace, we can still make as great efforts as ever in the battlefield, and on England's own more congenial element. Now that the deter mination of the Western Powers can no longer be doubted, and their success has commanded respect, it is time for Europe to remember our Exhibitions as arguments, not of our commercial predilections, but of our great enterprise and power. The nation which in a brief twelvemonth raised such a struc ture as that in Hyd© Park, and then swept it away when no longer•needed, might be depended on to spare no cost or trouble when its honour was con cerned. Nor could any one doubt that of France. What we have done in the Crimea is in keeping with our more peaceful achievements. In spite of mis takes, in spite of aged Generals and newly-raised armies, in spite of divided commands, i n sp i te of positions. There w e uncertain counsels and even sus p ended o p e rations, at last by a lavish us e of our resources and u nwearied. p ers everance, we hav e so far beaten a colossal Power and a ossi if the s in it now stand, with all the arts of peace transferred_ to Ic a 7 ,n a a 5 2 ti F b :ll e h o expected r es w ere ourf rom the on ito own ter asfi r r i ni to l r, y y establishedsio own.

Three other accidents took place in other parts of the docks by men walking over into the basin, but by timely aid thel were saved.
