This charge must still be made to those in remote places, unless the Postmaster-General have the magnanimity to forego such a paltry source of revenue. Sun-o f fice, 112, Strand,, London, 9th July, 1855. , Of: §Aln LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 25, 1855. " The Massacre of the Innocents":is steadily proceeding. The Tenants Improvements Com pensation (Ireland) Bill ia.the latest victim. The helpless sufferer was yesterday duly aa.caificed, and much excitement was displayed by its friend, at the . " Inquest" held over its remains._ we cannot feel greatly.surprised at the natural irrita tion felt by those who were deeply interested ,in the bill, an d w i t° b e lieved that its safety was s e • cured when it was transferred, into the hand:, of Ministers, and it beCame 'a " Government measure " with all. the facilities belonging to that condition. At the same time we must confess that no'other course seas Practicable, and that even with the utmost anxiety that the " vexed ques tion"' should be set at rest, the im portant, problem solved, it had • become im , P w41)11 ! .to carry, out the projeot, so that it should receive tie legislative sanction during the present session., The real giound for censure was not t hat it bade been abandoned at the eleventh hour, but that it should have been ne glected when there was atiaple time for discusaior and consideration of all it s provisions. It was not the suTr , nd - • last - arofnight, but the apathy, s that afforded previous prima 'facie eyi • deuce of Ministerial incincerity,. Had they been hav e a ll owe d it really in earnes t they-would not' to remain until the last week c. July, without: having passed more than ?_3 out of over TO clause, tlarough conatnittee. It was well known that the Rouse of Lords had determined not to pas s . any measure whi c h was not ready for a second readi n by the 24th July, yesterday, and a " tenant-riiht ,, measure wa not o ne N a l ich the territorial aristo cracy would be di s p ose d to view with great; fa your, or to whiei 4 di nar y indulgence 4 - lA - , w the . * would afford any ext r aor would also probably occa sion much discussion, and for that, if for no other mason it would necessarily be thrown overbear;; for the present year. itmi ' • would therefore hay' been nothing but a Mere re e ki e; Waste of very va l ua ble time to have gone on with the bill yes terday; more especially when the formidable 14th THE SUN LONDON, WEDNESDAY EV.ENING i JULY 25, 1855. received by all parties concerned in a good spirit, and with an anxious desire to supply adequate remedies to the admitted evils, whenever or wherever practicable. We trust that the appeal which we made on Monday in support of " The Officers' Widows and Orphan Permanent Fund" may not be disregarded by those who are always liberal whenever there is a reasonable cause. We know no stronger claim that can be put forward on behalf of any charity. The recipients have indeed been grievously afflicted, and that not through any fault of their own. If ever there were misfortunes which could not be averted by any degree of human foresight, in which the victims are totally and completely blameless, they are those arising from the un timely and premature deaths of husbands and fathers, under circumstances that prevent even the ordinary resources of life assurance from being made available. The sufferers have previously enjoyed every comfort suitable to their position, and without being over sanguine they might look forward to a considerable improvement. But suddenly all their hopes are overthrown — all their prospects blighted. Not only is the protector, but the provider taken away, and with him the money which he has paid for advancement in his profession is absolutely lost. The widow is involved not merely in poverty, but too frequently in absolute destitution, and her heartrending sorrows are enhanced by the privations which she sees her helpless children enduring. Surely as we have stated there can be no more suitable objects for sympathy and consideration, none to whom the generosity of all classes, from the highest to the lowest, could be more suitably bestowed. But this is regarding the subject in too limited a light. It is not merely gene rosity, but justice that is required. The sufferings of the bereaved widows and the fatherless children would alone give them an irresistible claim on the national bounty. But how is that claim enhanced when we consider that their irreparable and incalculable losses have been altogether occasioned in our cause—that it is in fighting for the honour and safety of the United Kingdom that the blood of the husband and father has been freely shed—that the obja3ts of his dying thoughts are sacred legacies to the country for which he has nobly died ? Should not those, then, " who live at home at ease," whose only sacrifices on account of the War are those of the pocket, display even a profuse and lavish liberality in dealing with such cases. Should they not take care that, so far at least as money was concerned, there shoUld be no aggravation to the mourning for the mighty dead—for those whom we are told will "for ever live enshrined in the memory of their grateful country ?" We c mfess that we should place greater faith in that gratitude if we saw the first step taken by the nation itself, by the return of all the pur chase-money paid by officers who have perished in the field, or from disease contracted in the dis charge of their duties, to their surviving rela tives. How ridiculous is it to give annuities terminable, in the case of the widow and daugh ters, on marriage—of the sons, on arriving at maturity—worth less than one-fourth of what has actually been paid to the Government. Mr. F. PEEL may flippantly tell u 3 that the pension is much better for all, except young widows, than the return of the purchase money ; as if 1001. or 1201. per annum, durante videritate, would be ample compensation for 8,0001. or 10,0001. actually paid by the deceased husband. Besides, Government professes to make these pensions pure acts of favour, of unalloyed bene volence ; and thus, through theirred-tapist mouth piece, they profess to consider them full equiva lents for the confiscated purchase money. We should greatly desire to see the matter placed on a sound and lasting foundation. The Society offers an eligible opportunity for so doing ; the produce of the public benevolence and justice could not be more suitably applied. The names of the patrons and committee afford a perfect guarantee that the money would be properly ad ministered ; and we are satisfied that large sub scriptions would flow in from officers themselves, when satisfied that the benefit thereof would be fairly bestowed upon their families. The plan adopted in the Indian Army, where destitution amongst widows and orphans of officers is absolutely un known, might, with some trivial alterations, be adopted. In the meantime, we call upon the public to contribute liberally; they can never ap ply their surplus funds to a better purpose. REPORTED RESIGNATION OF GENERAL SIMPSoN. It vva3 currently reported in Portsmouth Garrison yesterday, on sub , tantial official authority, that Main.. General Simpson has resigned the command of the British Army in the Crimea. Six hundred men of the 9th Regime:it of the line, corning from Sainte& and Rochefort, :till 500 of the 6,11 Regiment, coming from Landrecies, Avesno, rind C.tm bral, lift last evening by the Lyons Railway for Mar seilles, where they are to embark for the Crimea. A letter from Athens mentions that the Greek Cham ber has passed a vote of thanks to Lord Carlisle for the favourable manner in which the Greeks are mentioned in a recent work, particularly on the anbject of religious tolerance. A LiAon newspaper, A Naf,,ao, announces that Don Miguel and his consort and their children, who are re siding at the Chateau of Heubach, are in perfect health. The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa announces that General Pepe is so ill,that serious fears are entertained for hie life.

CAUTION TO BOYS THROWING STONES.—Yesterday at the Greenwich Police-court, James Pellet, son of a , lighterman, was convicted in the penalty of 40s. for stone throwing. The sitting magistrate (Mr. seeker) in giving his decision, said the practice of stone throwing was much indulged in by boys, to the great danger of the unsuspecting passers-by. Instances had occurred in which serious injury had been inflicted, even to the de privation of sight ; he was, therefore, determined to pro tect the peaceably disposed part of the community, by all means in his power, from such mischievous and wanton acts. In every satisfactorily proved case he should inflict the full penalty allowed by law, namely, 405., or, in default of payment, one month's imprison ment. A BRAVE GUARDSMAN'S USE OF HIS MOTHER'S LET TERS.—Joshua Priestly, of the Grenadier Guards, has written to his parents, at Soiihill, Ovenden, an interest ing letter, which, after being well thumbed, has been handed to us, and from which we can hardly refrain from making a few extracts, notwithstanding the note that the letter was not to be published; as the writer had not time to write with method or accuracy, or in a style which would bear the examination of a newspaper editor. After referring to the loss of one of his comrades who was known to his parents, and who was carried off by cholera, after 12 hours' illness, and the fruitless inqui ries he had made respecting another friend, the writer remarked that he had some money treasured up for his parents, which it was unsafe to send in a letter; and with respe c t t o th e ep i st l es h e h a d rece ived from his mo ther, received says—." I don't want to see any more crying let ters thetthohaevme puta C t tr the Crimea intole Russians,a fnrloym rifle fl o te n ) em . a fter us e yl Thoseooaua itha t loading p I e a i t, hra anditt have comefi fi re d dI to have a strong dislike to them.

It now only remains for those really anxious to have a fair and just enactment carried on this important subject to stimulate Government in the early part of next session. We do not believe that the Irish members generally, or those connected with the Government, merit the imputations that have been so recklessly and so unfairly cast upon them. It is not at all sur prising that the members of the Cabinet should not feel any extraordinary anxiety about a bill that has been forced on them, and of the policy whereof many may remain doubtful. But those who, although in subordinate situations, have in duced the Government to take charge of the mat ter, although, possibly, not as energetically as could have been desired, have rendered valuable service to the cause, and have insured its ultimate success, and that at no very distant period. We allude more especially to the Irish law offi cers, Messrs. KEOGH and J. D. FITZGERALD, who have been very unjustly attacked, after having done all that could reasonably and justly be re quired, and, indeed, all that was practicable, under the peculiar circumstances of the case. What were the facts ? The bill was introduced by thd Hon. and Learned Member for Kilkenny at the very commencement of the session. But three months elapsed without his being enabled to overcome the impediments cast in the way of private members, and he then discovered that it • would be impossible to anticipate a favourable result unless the Government could be induced to take charge of the measure. They were, we believe mainly through the energetic exertions of the Irish law officers, induced to do so ; but these gentlemen could not obtain for it the priority they desired over other Ministerial measures, many of which, although originally brought forward by the Go vernment, and of great national importance, have likewise been shelved. We trust and believe that next year the result may be more auspicious. To that the Irish members must direct their at tention. It is far better to use a gentle pressure in due season than to indulge in useless vitupe ration when there is clearly no alternative. Something ought certainly to be done to enable the House to resume the consideration of matters that had reached a certain stage during the ensuing session. At present much time is wasted that might be saved, and many valuable measures are unduly procrastinated, although the principle has been repeatedly affirmed. On this point there should be some modification, which would enable independent Members to carry their own propositions without being compelled to surrender them into the hands of Government as the only means of averting - their total loss. Let the Irish Members turn their attention to this point, and they will render good service to, the country gene rally, and will insure the passing of an equitable adjustment of the law of Landlord and Tenant .n Ireland. There is but too much reason to fear that the hospitals at Scutari are, notwithstanding the disinterested and efficient exertions that have been made for their improvement, gra dually drifting back to their old condition. Great improvements had unquestionably been effected, but the red-tape system is resuming its ascen dancy—routine is still pursued as the summurn, bonitm,—and the volunteers who have done all the good regarded, if not with enmity, at least with jealousy, and their plans received with discourage ment whenever practicable. It is more than hinted that the new Medical Superintendent, Dr. CUMMING, is of the same class as the HALLS and MENZIES by whom he was preceded ; that he is an " obstructive," who does not deem any suggestion worth having un less proceeding from an official source ; and that he is not very remarkably for professional kind ness, either to the officers or men with whom he may chance to be brought into contact. The medical practice is chiefly left in the hands of the juniors, and, generally speaking, matters are working round to the old objectionable system once more. Now, if there be any portion of truth in these rumours, and we regret to be obliged to say that we fear there is but too much foundation for them, there can be no excuse made for the Government. Before they would not credit any derogatory statements from mere civilians. The statements of the officials, made on mere hear•. say, were taken as perfectly authentic. Bat their eyes were at length opened. They discovered the Fearful consequences of their over confidence. They said that strangers were doing the work for which others were largely paid--and the evils of the system were painfully illustrated. Full in 'orination may now be obtained, and it is incum bent on those in power to seek for it, so that should there again be any untoward events the plea of ignorance may not again be put forward. Mies NIGHTINGALE has already done a wor of good, but unfortunately she has been stricken with severe illness, from which she is but slowly regaining strength. We cannot hope for further aid at her hands ; and the other friends of suffer ing humanity have scarcely sufficient weight to overcome the impediments habitually interposed to their efforts. The culinary department, under the direction of ALEXIS SOYER, has been placed in a most efficient and admirable condition. The illustrious " chef" has succeeded there as every 'there else in the department in which he is .without a rival. But it is said that even he has T=ot _received the assistance which he was pro mised, and which he had every reason to expect. Although the right man is unquestionably in the right place, yet he ought not to be overworked, or required per sona ll y . to d o ma tt ers w hi c h might be properly effe c t e d by others under his control and direction. For instance, it is said that four first class cooks were 'Promised by the Government. He was left, however, for three months to work single-handed,- or at L as t with such temporary obtain on the spot. At a ssistance as he could length the promised auxiliaries arrived. They had, been sent by a sailing-vessel, and had only been 48 days on their passage.- Still, it was bet ter late than never, but, alas, the anxiously-looked for aid turned out of a very inferior description. In place of a professed cook for each kitchen, it was found that there were two bakers, one butcher, and one cook, a third-rate one—and even th ese were not allowed to go to the work for which they were sent out, but employed at the desk and in other capacities. Now this system should be corrected while there is yet time. There should be no relapse into the bad habits which were shaken off with so much difficulty. The nation will not now tolerate the iefliction of unnecessary suffering on our gallant soldiers. They should not be compelled 'privations when there are ample nl i-b‘n.tlieroviding them with every comfort. In Such a case expense is a matter of comparatively • - trivial impdit anee,,and no petty economy will be received as an • aixeoey for any shortcomings, even thou r.ll it may. net, a Lr:nerly, affect the victims, but,' L eerdiy ennauue lives of the their affliction.

The Moniteur announces that the Minister of War has received the following despatch from General Pelissier, dated July 23, 11 p.m. : " The enemy appears to have taken alarm last night, and opened a very brisk fire on the right and left of our lines of attack. Our batteries re plied as briskly, and with success. " I have good news from Yenikale. Every- thing there is going on well, under the direction of Lieutenant-Colonel Osmont, who has taken measures to prevent any disorder at Kerteh." MARSEILLES, TUESDAY, JULY 24. Accounts have been received from Constantino- ple to the 16th. The assault on the Malakhoff Tower has been deferred, and will be probably preceded by a bombardment. The Allies are making preparations to render permanent the blockade of all the Russian ports, and also to establish several camps both at Con- stantinople and on the Danube. Gen. Murawieff has suddenly abandoned the siege of Kars ; it is supposed that be wishes to surprise Erzeroum, or that he proposes to attack the Turks in the open field. ST. PETERSBURG, JULY 23.

PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING. Prince Napoleon has just addressed a circular to the presidents of the different classes of the in ternational jury, calling their attention to the pro visions of the decree of Miy 10, 1855, relative to the recompencei to be awarded to the exhibitors, and pointing out to them the different qualifications and excellences in the articles most worthy of fixing their attention, such as the perfection of workmanship, their general usefulness, and their modicity of price. A grand dinner was given last evening at the Jardin d'Hiver by the persons connected with the Universal Exhibition, to Prince Napoleon. Marshal Vaillaut, Minister of War, accom panied by several merchants and colonists who are memberg of the commission appointed to exa mine the Exhibition for the . benefit of Algeria, yesterday visited the part of the palace appropriated to the productions of that colony, and expressed the greatest satisfaction at the evident progress which had taken place since similar productions were exhibited in London. - The Moniteur contains decrees confirming the nomination of 4 officers and 3 non-commissioned officers of the marines to the rank of Knight in the Legion of Honour, and the grant of 7 military medals ta non-commissioned officers and privates of the same arm, made by General Pelissier. " In addition to the fete which is to be given at Versailles to Queen Victoria," says a Paris letter in the Independance of Brussels, "it appears positive that there will be a grand ball at the Tuileries and one at the Hotel de Ville. It is also said that there will be three visits to theatres—;one to the Grand Opera, where the opera of Duke Zrnest of Saxe-Coburg Gotha is to be brought ont—one to the Theatre Francais, where Mlle. Rachel is to appear, she delaying her de parture for America in order to do so ;—and the third to the Opera-Comique; where ilaydee is to be represented.

GREAT FIRE IN MILTON-STREET, CRIPPLEIATE, YES TERDAY.—For several h.mrs yesterday meraing a most destructive firs raged in Milton-street, Fore-street, Ciip plegate, exciting the utmost consternation throughout that extensive neighbourhood, which is priucipaily inha bited by very poor persons, and castling very great de struction of property. The premises in question are very extensive, and are in the occupation of Messrs. David and 'Win. Gibbs, soap-manufacturers, No. 67, Milton street. The discovery was made by some of the inhabi tants observing smoke issuing from the building in that portion situated u Hanover-court, who immediately raised the alarm. The police despatched messengers for the Whitecross-street, Watling-street, jeffrey-square, and London Fire Brigade engines. Previous to their arrival, however, att-mpts were made to prevent the fire obtaining ascendancy, but without effect, for in a f:-ssv minutes the flames attacked the opposite pre , raises, which are situated at the east end of the building, in Butler's-court. These houses, being composed chiefly of wood, burned furiously. The engines got to work in a splendid manner, and, after great exertions, prevented the flames spreading, and the books and other such valuables as could be speedily got together were rescued. At present it is impossible to say what amount of damage is done but on a moderate calculation, it is n ot le e s than 15,0001., the whole of Messrs.

The Crimea ; its Ancient and Modern History • the Khans, the Sultans, and the Czars ; with Notices of its Scenery and Popntation. By the Rev. Thos. Milner, M. 1., F.R.S. _Long - maw, _ _ 1855. 12m0., pp. 368. The title of this work is almost an index to its contents, and we need not do much more than ex press our satisfaction with the correspondence be tween the promise and the performance. It is as complete a work on the Crimea as the general reader can desire, and just what all of us now re quire to form a proper judgment on the state and progress of affairs in that now universally interest ing spot ; and, indeed, to enable us to read the newspapers with intelligence. Though embracing a description of the geography and phySical fea tures of every part of the peninsula, of its moun tains and woods, its valleys and rivers, its steppes and seas, its natural history and meteorology, as well as of its history through two thousand four hundred years, it is anything but a dry summary of particulars. The points of interest or importance in each department are well selected, are woven into aconnected anicontinuous whole, are enlivened with abundance of incident, and thus much more than a useful and readable book is presented to us —one, in short, which most readers, at any time, but now especially, will , read through. When they have done so they will certainly feel that they can form a better opinion than before on Crimean matters. Its history will, doubtless, be quite a novelty to many; and they will be not a little surprised to find what an active trade was carried on with the Crimea by ancient Athens—how Rome did not overlook it—how the Genoese and Turks successively asserted their sway —and how its Khans at one time could pillage, and at another actually burn Moscow. Bakshi-Serai has been the abode of vigorous conquerors and mighty men. They will not, however, be surprised to learn that fraud and brazen perfidy, in marked contrast with Turkish honour, had a powerful share in giving Russia the mastery of the Crimea. In deed, so far as Russia is concerned, this little volume is ono of the many proofs that no peace with her is worth twenty years' purchase which does net rest on her expulsion from her stolen ter ritory, and the reduction of her power to innocu ous proportions. It is as great folly to treat the conquerors of the Crimea as a people who would respect a treaty, as to rely on the promises of a dis _armed brigand. It is not a little singular that an English female traveller, Lady Craven, in 1786, first pointed out the unrivalled value of Sebastopol as a naval station ; and that an English newspaper ( was the means of the erect . onlof those forts at the mouth of the harbour, which have as yet proved 1 too strong to be forced by our fhets. My Travels. By Captain Charnier, R.N., Author of " The Life of a Sailor." 3 vols. Hurst and Blackett. The second name of this book is the more charac teristic one—it is entitled, "My Travels ; or, An Unsentimental Journey through France, Switzer land, and Italy." It is usual for travellers if they do not record their adventures in couleur de rose, at least to invest them with some air of romance or excitement. They usually avoid what is common place and trivial to describe the beauties of nature or wonders of art iu the spots visited. The pre sent writer has had no such idea. He has set out on a route for himself ; and though a good many travellers have given us narratives of the same journey as he took, he is perhaps the first who has announced his determination of being eminently practical in l,is account of it. Whether this will be considered an improsiement is questionable. If he restrained. himself to the really practical part ; if he had given us scientific information for the learned, commercial intelligence fur men of business, or directions for the inexperienced traveller, we should not complain ; but his un sentimentality merely consists in contemptuous expressions without any definite purpose ; he amuses himself with ridiculing and sneering at very• unnecessary topics. it is very improbable that any English readers are in danger of joining in Neapolitan superstitions ; it is therefore scarcely requisite to devote four chapters of the first volume to a semi-satirical history of the miracles of St. Gennaar. There is displayed all through the work a tinge of levity which occasionally touches the vulgar. It must not be imagined, however, that no entertainment can be derived from its pages. When the author lays aside his flippancy of style, and writes seriously on what is worth writing on his descriptions are interesting. The most so is perhaps the description of Pompeii, that wonder ful city of the dead, which has not warned the living to fear Vesuvius. The author gives us some curious particulars, which are not perhaps generally known. Among the many discoveries made in Pompeii, including the most trivial articles of com mon use, even pins and needles, there are a few re markable exceptions ; neither spectacles, ear-trum pets, nor " those terrible keys used in the extraction of teeth" have been found. " Surely," says the traveller, " the Romans were not exempt from the three warnings of age 1" It is also singular that, amongall the skulls and skeletons found in Pompeii, there has never been one in which a tooth was wanting 1 Toothache may, therefore, be reckoned among modern inventions. All through Pompeii there is no trace of a chimney. There are kitchens in abundance. The formation of the ovens is the same as at present, and on the loaf the baker's name; but the smoke must have escaped differently. " The whole contents of a surgeon's shop" have been found, and dice, loaded as they sometimes are nowadays, may also be reckoned among the possessions of the past. The extreme narrowness of the streets is one of the most remarkable things ; there is no street in Pompeii where two carriages could have passed through, though the wear of the pavement proves that wheels did pass. What struck the traveller most was that after so long a lapse of time so little has been improved. A great part of the second volume is devoted to a tramsla Con of a portraiture of modern Italy and its people, which he asserta was given to him by an Italian with whom he entered into conversation, though his name and position were unknown. He draws a gloomy picture of the condition of the Italians under Austrian supremacy. The people are s • degraded that "in Naples every man of the low.et orders seems professionally a mendicant." Sicily, one of the most beautiful and fertile islands in the world, has only one-fourth cultivated. There are no carriage roads, A company of Frenchmen offered to make them • the Viceroy sanctioned the speculation • it was referred to Naples for ratifica tion ; the King refused it. The same occurred in a proposal to light Palermo with gas. " His Majesty," says our author, " thoug!it it better to keep his subjects in the dark." Gentle men who complain of pocket-picking Loudon had better visit Naples to bi cured of their discontent. The Minister of Finance was in the habit of sauntering in the Toledo. In seventeen days he lost seventeen pocket handker chiefs. He applied to the Minister of Police, who the next day sent him seventy-two, which had been taken from the thieves, but not one belonged to the Minister. To give an idea of the postal ar rangements, we may mention that a letter would get to America before one posted at the same mo ment at Naples would gat to Palermo. The reader may derive entertainment from many portions of these volumes ; and, though objections may __be raised to some points, they are not devoid of gene ral interest. A Lost Love. By Ashford Owen. Smith am' Elder. A spirit of profound melancholy pervades this story. There is an under current of ',sorrow that is seen in the most favourable events. The reader feels from the first that there is to be no real hap piness for the heroes and heroines. They appear placed in such combinations of circumstances, and are endowed with such peculiar temperaments , that only some fortuitous occurrences could have rendered them satisfied. As the reality was, how ever, by far the most unfortunate was Georgina. She was certainly the sacrifice, and undeservedly so, for she was generous and kind-hearted, and ever considerate towards others. It is seldom that any one is altogether so unfortunate as was Georgy Sandon, perhaps ; yet all the events of her life are natural as they are here represented, and the ex perience of every-day life demonstrates the truth of the adage that some must smile while others weep. Constance Everett was a very graceful creature, but she was not sufficiently superior to be the wife of James Erskine. He was greatly to be pitied, for he had a painful part to perform, and he really was not to blame so much as he might have appeared to be to a superficial observer. Had not the sudden meeting with Con stance revealed to him that she was really attached to him in spite of her wayward demeanour and perversity of conduct, it is most likely that Georgy would have never regretted her engagement. The perplexity and confusion into which he was thrown show the danger of contracting important obliga tions on the principle of expediency, and the pro mise of doing for the best. Poor Georgy had cause to lament the day when, out of mere kindness to her, Mr. Erskine had proposed to her. She had, at all events, the higher kind of happiness which springs from upright conduct, and to which the others could lay no claim and prefer no right. It is naturally described how she preserved silence on the past after she had left the scene of her short lived tlDjoytilettt. It NVOIII,I haVo 1)(1011 eSPeerl l Y unlikely fora naturese 1 ILeap. Ltila true to h:z . v - < sought solace or found relief in dwelling on its sacred sufferings to strangers. " Bury your love, and look at it )24. 7 inigeewbury it, and tread down the earth upon it. But you should do it ; let no one else smile at what has been your life. Trample on it yourself, for you have worshipped it, and whisper the denial of what you have glorified. But let none else come near that grave." After the calm in which we suppose Georgy ensconced herself, it is not con genial to the feelings to bear of her being united to Stephen Anstruthor after some years. It does not seem natural, and spoils the illusion which we were before given to entertain that she still clung to the remembrance of her former choice. " We are in love for a day, but may love on into eternity," is written in describing her feelings as being not extinct, although hidden from notice and observation. After such a view of her mind, it is not what one is led to expect ; and it is said after wards that she was mistaken, and it seems only probable enough when we are told of her early death, three years of ;er her marriage. The thought and feeling that are manifested through out this sketch of a melancholy existence possess a certain charm, and exert an influence on the atten tion and interest. If suffering, patiently borne, and trials bravely surmounted, can make an attrac tive heroine, these pages present one to our notice. The City of the Crescent ; or, the Turks in 1854. By Gordon Trenery, author of " The Morning Land." 2 vols. Skeet. There is nothing very original in these volumes, their chief merit being that they give a portraiture of Turkish home life in the present day. The author describes their opinions and habits as being greatly modified in the last few years by contact with European travellers, whose number has greatly increased with the modern facilities for travelling, and more especially since " the Turkish question" has directed public attention to the East. The Turkish ladies are no longer kept under such strict surveillance, and they are even allowed in some instances to converse with strangers. The present writer made acquaintance , 'with some, whom he describes in the most glowing terms. He is enchanted with Turkey and the Turks, and ap ' pears to have been totally fascinated by the Eastern magnificence. It may be suspected, however, that his style is a little exaggerated, for when he gets to common topics there seems a total absence of mo t deration in his ideas. For instance, in speaking of the dogs of Constantinople, he expresses MS con viction that the whole canine race ought to be ex terminated, because they are liable to attacks of hydrophobia. In case his opinions on Eastern manners are on the same scale, the reader must make some allowance for it. He informs us that the Turks have a high opinion of the English, especially the more educated classes, who in some cases regard the English almost with affec tion. He certainly portrays the Eastern character in a most favourable view, and the beauties of nature in that country he de picts in equally attractive colours. In short he appears to be of the opinion of the poet— " Is there an earthly paradise from human cares released, 'Tis the City of the Sultan, the glory of the East ;" though, unfortunately, the first line is no longer ap plicable. One of the most remarkable of his adven tures was a midnight visit to the mosque of St. Sophia, in company with a lady disguised as a Turk, who would infallibly have been cut to pieces had she been discovered. Ile describes the effect of the illuminated interior as most impressive. Those who are curious as to the details of the inte rior of a Turkish-abode in all its luxury and magni ficence will find an unusual opportunity of being gratified, and the work will afford entertainment as giving a novel view of home life in the East. AUSTRALIA. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY. By way of Callao, advices from Melbourne to April 26 have been received, brought to that port by the Liverpool ship Mooresfort. The intelligence is of little interest. The White Star ship Annie Wilson (82 days) and Gambia, from Liverpool ; Czar, froni Glasgow ; Rienzi, from Dublin ; and Agnetta, from London, had arrived at Melbourne. The Northumberland, from London, at Geelong. The Duke of Welling ton and Hooghly, at Adelaide. The Royal mail ship Boomerang had not arrived out, though 78 days from Liverpool. The latest advices from England were by the Annie Wilson, Jan. 28. The Red Jacket was to sail for Liverpool on the ist, and the Eagle on the 23d May. The Boome rang, with the mails, was to sail in the same month. An escort from the Beechworth digging arrived. at Melbourne on the 24th of April, with 8,000 ounces of gold. Gold at Melbourne was rather more active, but prices remain at 3/. 16s. 6d. to 3/. 17s. per otmce. On the 24th an extensive boot sale took place at Melbourne, the largest ever held.

The steam-ship Alhambra, of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, Capt. Ed ward Christian, with the usual Peninsular mail, in charge of Lieut. Reddeck, R.N., Admiralty agent, arrived this evening at half-past seven o'clock p.m. Her dates of sailing were—Gib2oraltar, July 14 ; Cadiz, 15 ; Lisbon, 19 ; Oporto, ; Vigo, 21.

Her Majesty's steamer Malacca had arrived at Gibraltar, from Malta. The Alhambra passed the. Peninsular and Orien tal Company's steamer Euxine on the evening of the 22d, and the Madeira packet Brilliant on the evening of the 23d. The Dutch frigate Dogc,ferbank and the French steamer Levassier wery lying in Cadiz. The Pe ninsular and Oriental steamer Iberia arrived at Vigo on the morning of the 21st. fi EALTH OF LONDON DURING THE TVO'f' (From the Report of the Registrar-Generd .) During three weeks of this month the popu la tion 01 London have enjoyed improved health. This is sh" t6n , by a reduction of the mortality to the extent of bet , ' 150 deaths a week below the mortality of the prel ie ; the corresponding weeks of the ten month.

The yarn market has been very inactive, and though prices were nominally steady, there is no doubt that buyers disposed to give out contracts could have made rather easier terms. The principal reason for holding back is probably to be looked for in the last advices (rein the United States, where cotton continues to come forward more freely than usual for the time of the year, and where the prospects of the now ripening crop are exceed ingly satisfactory. These advices are supposed to point to lower prices, awl hence buyers of cotton manufactures will continue to act with caution, uulesru - some occurrence, such as an unexpected revival of demand, should alter their position. The cloth-market, like that for yarn, is a good deal quieter than last week, and principally owing to the s ame'fsiremnstances. The earnestness, however, with which manufacturers have at length taken up the short time question must soon have a somewhat counteracting effect on prices. The determination of 33 firms at Blackburn, most of them very extensive manufacturers, to reduce the hours of labour in their mills from 60 to 40 boars per week, must of itself have a considerable effect on the market. The present production of yarn there is estimated at over 700,0001 b. per week, in addition to upwards of 200,0001 b. of spinnings from Staleybridge and other towns. The looms employed are estimated at about 20,000, producing near upon a million pounds of cloth per week. By a reduction of the hours of working to four days, instead of six, per week, it fol lows that about 333,0001 b. weight of cloth per week will 1 - . e taken off the market ; and, in addition to short time at Blackburn, it appears that the manufacturers of Har sood, Darwen, and Accrington are all following the xlmple. At Accrington notice has already been given to the workpecyle to work two days less per week. In addition to`these it has been already mentioned that there Are here and then o mills all over the manufacturing dis trict which have been 'Wholly or partially stopped, with out any waiting by the owners for concert on the part of their neighbours. --- THE METROPOLITAN BOROUGHS.—Meetinge in sup portof Sir W.
