The festivals in honour of Apis lasted 7 days, on which occasion a large concourse of 1 :' 0 0ple assembled at Memphis—the priests led the Sacred (living) Bull in solemn procession, every one coming forward from their houses to welcome him. Pliny and Solinus affirm that children who smelt his breath were thought thereby gifted with the power of predictin g future events. The tokens which distinguished this Sacred Bull at its birth were a white spot resembling a crescent on its right side, and a lump under its tongue in the form of a beetle, as pretended by the priests. The people believed him to be the cause of the swelling and inundation Of the Nile, which produced fertility and abund ance, and celebrated his festival at about the period of this a nnual occurrence with every demonstration of rejoicing a nd li teral abandonment to the intoxication of joy all over the ' in gdem. Many temples were erected aisd dedicated to " e'Pls," and also to " Serapis," the divinity of the Column of Measurement—th e Nilooieter ! N.B. The decorations of the drapery upon the bull and carriage are principally com posed of the first flowers that spring from the earth after the ••mesion of the flood-i.e., the Lotus and Meliolotus.

T he principle office of this deity was to judge the dead, and to rule over that kingdom where the souls of good men f W ere admitted to eternal felicity. This deity w as ver y nl eas--his temples and priests were to be found in al most every part of ,Egypt ; the sacred rites of Osiris were a Profound 'mystery; never revealed. His name was even avoided, as of too august a nature to be mentioned. The "Ivy, with which the Priests decorated themselves, was sacred to e u , l nl, and also the " Meliolotus." No. 6. The Sacred Boat of the Amenti, or Lower Regions, with the four genii, or demi c'cls (bearin g emblems of life and power) and their vases of A nlenti," or that subterraneous reeion where they (the E.gYptiani) imagined the souls of the dead to go after their decease. The first genius is " Amset," " Judge of the Amenti" (human-headed). The second is " Hopi," " Con cealed Number" (baboon-headed). The third is " Tuautrautf," Adorer of his Mother" (jackall-headed), The fourth is " Kabb-senuf," " Refresher of his Brethren" (hawk-headed). The Sepulchral Vases have heads in shape of the four genii of the dead, and each was employedlor holding a portion of the viscera of the deceased, embalmed separately and deposited in the m. On the " Arent" Vase is inscribed the speech of " Isis" to the dead ; on that of " Hepi" is a similar speech from "Nepthys ;" on that of "Tuautmutf, one from "Neith;" and on that of " Kabh-senuf," one from " Selk ;" the purport of eachbebiganassurance of protection, and of I..e•ing "near thee," " besid e th ee ," or " I come t o b e, b es id e th ee ." The Sacred Boat is followed by the symbolic " Eyes of Osiris," or of " The Sim," emblems of the all-seeing presence of the Di. vinity. Note. —Besides the Four Ameuti, here were 42 Ac- SeSSOrS Qr Judges of the 42 Crimes, from which a good man should lee free ; and these ' also differ from the 36 Demons mentioned by Origen that presided over the human body, and were invoked to cure the infirmities of the peculiar member immediately under their protection. No. 7. The Goddess Isis," - o r " The Seat." The hieroglyphic throne on her head, ftlltl followed by the priestesses and virgins dedicated to her worship. Isis was styled also: "The Beginning" (as her sister, `lNepthys," was " The End") , and " Isis, Queen of Egypt,' , "The Goddess of the Moon," "Defender of her Brother," &c. (The " Ceres" of the Greeks.) " The festival," says Herodotus, "which they celebrate at Buso ris honour of Isis is magnificent. After prayers a bull is pacrifeced, which the priests cut up and afterwards . burn, pouring oil on the fire while the victim is con-.

He is atte nded by his s acred'emblems and standards. The Hawk was dedicated to the Tamarisk Treo, the Testudo (Lyre), die. One of the Principal duties of " Horus," was that of introducing the souls of the dead into the presence of " Osiris," after they had passed the ordeal of final judgment. He also assisted "Amset" in weighing and ascertaining their good conduct during life, previous to their admission into the august presepee of his Father in the blessed regions of the Amenti.

She presided over the Upper Hemisphere, and was partieularlyworshipped at Sais. Musical instruments stringed (the Buoni or harp o f 17 strings, especially) were dedicated to her. " Neith," or " Neth," is the supposed origin of the Greek name, " Thena," or " Athena." The belief of the Egypt ians in " the Existence of a Supreme Being " is proved by the inscription over the Temple of Minerva (Ncith), in hieroglyphic characters, viz. : —" lam that which is, which was, and shall be. No Mortal has lifted up my veil—the offspring of my power is the Sun."

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

Fear of impending war had urged the dealers in corn to buy on every side to make good the deficiency of the English harvests. The flag 3 of all nations were to be seen entering the ports of these isles bringing food from the great empire which was so soon to be our enemy. What is now the state of the Russian seaport ? Not the smallest craft dare leave that blockaded harbour ; its ware houses are empty, or stocked only with the sup plies for a hopeless and devastating war. The corn trade, which in a few years had so greatly increased the wealth of the empire, is at an end, and it is doubtful whether the return of peace would lead to the renewal of the commerce from which the merchants of the world Are turning to other adven tures. An official article has just been published in Russia relative to the exportation of grain. As might be expected, the writer labours to show that the loss of his country by the present war is less than it has been estimated by the world. If his, facts are correct, he proves two. things—that the wants of England have of late years been the prin cipal causes of prosperity to the Russian proprie- • tors, and, consequently, that the hostility of this country has caused the commerce of the Czar's empire to collapse speedily and completely. At two periods within the last ten years scarcity in West ern Europe has increased the exports of Russia ; the first was at the time of that, terrible famine which overthrew the English corn laws, and through which as a fiery trial Ireland passed, to come forth with the power of improvement and regeneration. The Russian exports,which were in 1845 of the value of 16,000,000 silver roubles, rose in 1847 to mere than 70,000,000. Although this high amount was not sustained during the succeeding years of greater plenty, yet the Russian trade stillin creased rapidly. In 1852 the exportation was to the value of .34,000,000 roubles; and in 1853, the last year of peace, it had risen to 55,000,000, partly from natural development, partly under the influence of the deficient harvest of the preceding year. Now came to an end this great and sudden prosperity. In eight years the value of exported Russian grain had increased three-and-a-half fold ; landowners had been enriched, the State had been relieved, material improvements, roads, canals, &c., had been commenced, when in an evil hour the Czar outraged the rights of nations and of liberty, and all has come to a close. In 1854 the export of grain fell to the value of 14,000,000 roubles, and most of this was probably shipped during the three months which preceded the decla ration of war. The export at the present moment from the whole of Russia is probably not a tenth what it was two years since. The prosperity of Russian trade before the war is proved by two statements of the writer. He says that since 1848 the exportation of grain has followed a much mere regular course than in pre ceding years. This result, evidently due to the repeal of our corn laws, shows how much this country has benefited the Russian proprietor, by delivering him from those fluctuations in the price of his produce, which gave him false notions of his wealth one year, only to Undeceive him by an ap proach to ruin in the next. In the second place, it is stated that in latter years the export of other articles did not sink as that of corn increased, but that a regular augmentation of all branches of traffic took place. It appears from the statements of this publication that at no time did Russian commerce flourish so widely, at no time was it founded on so sure a basis, as immediately before Nicholas ordered his armies to seize a " material guarantee" for the submission to unjust demands. It is now admitted that the corn trade of the em pire is at an end, and the Russian writer's only con solation is that England has suffered still more. He says that the importations from Russia have in a year diminished 40 per cent., while the supply from the Danube and the East in general has similarly been straitened by the war. He looks upon the confidence of the English people in the question of feed as a false security, and to alternate compla cency and panic he attributes the variations of price during the last two years. Russia and Eng land, he says, have suffered lately,—in one country tbe producer, from his produce being no longer ex portable ; in the other the consumer, who must buy his food at a higher price. Yet, ho urges„ -Russia has not suffered so much as England, for the price of corn there has only fallen 20 per cent., while hero it has risen 70 per cent. Such are the admissions and arguments of a man evidently - writing under official inspiration. We may accept what he says of his own country while denying his conclusions with regard to our own. On its corn trade Russia was mainly dependent for the wealth of its aristocracy and the comfort of its people. Although England must indeed suffer from the increased price of bread, yet her resources are so .large, the occupations of her citizens are so various, and her commerce so continually in creasing, that the augmentation in the price of food will cause no general distress, and certainly never be important enough to deter the nation from war. While Russia must exhaust her resources in vast levies of men, long and disastrous marches, and combats on the limits of her empire, she is de barred from recruiting her finances by means of commerce, and must struggl e on , i so l a t e d f rom Europe, with decaying, if not destroyed seaports, with warehouses falling to pieces if not crushed by hostile shell, until she chooses to submit to the terms of the allies. The writer states what is well known, that Southern Russia had in late years been developed in a surprising manner by the in creasing wants of Europe and the influence of our own free trade. The commerce of Odessa and Taganrog was beginning to exceed in importance that of the Baltic ports. It was for the advantage of Odessa that the Czar allowed the mouths of the Danube to be clogged with sand ; it was for the good of hissouthern districts that he encouraged the dissension and withstood the improvement of the Turkish provinces. All for which he laboured has now been lost in a single year. The trade of the Black Sea has passed away, and that of the Baltic is carried on a l most surreptit i ously b y t h e aid of a neutral. At Prussian ports is shipped whatever is exported of th e p ro d uc t s o f the Rus sian empire ; their pri ce i s l arge l y i ncrease d by th e land transit which is necessary, and the demand must correspondingly be lessened. The proportion which remains of the Baltic trade we cannot deter mine, but there can be little doubt that it is only a fractional part of the considerable and increasing commerce which Russia possessed previous to the war. While France and England can continue unmolested the industry of peace, and suppprt the contest of the year by its savings, Russia is re duced to fall back on whatever realised capital exists in the country. The hoards of the Emperor, the Church, the provincial Governments, have almost disappeared. Russia cannot raise a loan in Europe—all that comes from foreign countries must be paid for in money, since her produce can not find an outlet. She is therefore becoming poor at a doubly rapid rate ; her expenses are increased by war, and by war also are her gains stopped. We, on the other hand, pay for this contest, as we must, in blood and money, but at home we never look upon an enemy, our vessels aro at peace in every sea, and the whole commerce of the country pursues its even course. The progress of civilisa tion, and a deeper sense of international duties, have prohibited the acceptance of letters of marque by the subjects of any maritime State, while the enemy is so blockaded in his own waters that we need fear no such adventure originating from his shores. Whatever indonve niences and privations war may bring with it to us we know are felt with tenfold severity by those with whom. we are contending. It is probable that, after all, Russia will be most thoroughly humbled by financial losses. She has opposed to her the two richest nations of the old world, both in earnest, and ready to sacrifice the gains of the past and to pledge the industry of the!future to carry out what they have begun. She, on the con trary, is poor, her treasury is empty, and no one will refill it; her merchants are bankrupt, her land owners reduced and discontented, her peasantry decimated and hopeless, her territory passing out of cultivation. It is dismal to think that such calamities have been brought on a people by its ruler ; but the blame lies not on us. The state of the Russian empire is only another instance of a people expiating the madness of a monarch. The great ( h g e r L ire t othfethl e 'lin i t l es a t o i f o n th t is day.) hat w e THE VACANCIES IN THE MINISTRY. t a lk of, an , believe to exist, ought at least to be reflected in its Government.

A SSOCIATION for the RECONSIDERATION of the BANK CHARTER ACT of 1844. TO THE BANKERS, MANUFACTURERS, AND MERCHANTS OF THE 'UNITED KINGDOM. The present ciiitical state of the monied world has again roused the attention of the public to the monetary system upon which England. has based her financial operations. The opinions which have been flamed by'some of the ablest writers upon the subject, such en Fullarton, Tooke, Mi'l, and others, of the impracticability of maintaining the principles of ihis Act in times of national difficulty, are in rapid process of fulfilment; and the nation is now doomed, amidst the conflict of a formidable war, increased taxation, and high prices, to see its vast and illimitable sources of wealth completely paralysed, and reduced to their narrowest limits by an artificial re striction of legal tender. This restriction has now become so strin gent as to spread I's baneful influence ever the entire trade and commerce of the kingdom, and if not removed, must end in an almost total suspension of labour and business in the great manufacturing and commercial districts of the country. The object of this Associa tion is to unite the various interests engaged in banking., trade, and commerce, irrespective of party feeling, that a subject of such vital irnpot . .ance may be thorolghly investigated, and repre ented in liament in ;he eomtng Session. k Committee will be formed in Lon don for the purpose or acting in concert with local Committees and the Chambers of Commerce throulbout the United K'ngdom, and for the purpose of circulating all necessary information upon the subject ; and it is earnestly desired that the great industrial interests of the country w;il give their urited support to a movement which has for its objects the preservation of our national industry, and the maintenance of our national greatness. communications So be addressed to 11.

' who knew not whether we were at peace or at war, or what ought to be our state. We have' had, a • peace party in a war Cabinet, and a Minister pacific abroad and warlike at home, with the opportunity of drawing: upon either side of his character as might afteriards turn out convenient, If the ac tual execution of the war has not been as energetic as was to be expected—if all sorts of considerations have been thought more important than success — and if England now makes a less splendid figure than she ought after two years' of unparalleled sa orifices, the result only corresponds too closely with the original malady and capital weakness of a divided will. " A double-minded man is =unstable in all his ways," and nowhere is instability of performance so direct a result of discordant , counsels as in the matter of war. This may seem just now an ungracious remark, when no one can doubt the resolution of our Premier, and the cordial eo-operation of the Cabinet as a whole, whatever rumour may 'say of this or that lesser member. But just now there are two vacan cies, and Lord Palmerston would do what many a British Premier has done before if he took the op portunity of enlarging his and silencing some opposition, by annexing a neutral or even a hostile politician. There are men to be found who are always ready to trip up a Government, and who are_ equally ready to join it that they may do within the fortress what they could not without. If Lord Palmerston could be guilty of permitting members of his Cabinet to express their dissatisfaction with the war, and so weaken the hands of Ministers at home and armies abroid, there are plenty of poli ticians who would gladly join him on that pleasant understanding. War, indeed, is not exactly the thing for a man to play fast and. loose-with, nor is national honour such a trifle as this game would seem to suppose. Yet there are men who, without having the courage to say that we are all in the wrong, that we are answerable for the war and ought to make peace on any terms, would have no objection to see the war slackly done, unsuccessful, inglorious, or even dis astrous. It would be their opportunity, and still more so if by any chance, they happened to be in the Cabinet at the time, and could improve the occa sion with all the weight of a Minister. The gene ; ral turn is only too favourable to this sort of policy. Whatever we may flatter ourselves at home, the opinion abroad is that our gallant allies are doing the work of the war and reaping its harvest of glory. The French people have not shown a more hearty good-will than ourselves ; they did not even pretend to an equal ardour for the war ; they have not spent so many millions in the cause ; they have hardly so great a stake in it ; nevertheless, on the most critical occasions they have carried off the palm ; and in the execution, as well as the result, we have been reduced to the class of a con tingent, like our Sardinian and Turkish allies. That, at least, is the wide-spread continental view of the war, drawn probably very much from French, perhaps also from Russian sources, yet unfortunately deriving too much colour from facts. The war is indeed substantially successful, and our own armies and navies have had a respectable share in that result. But adverse appearances and unfavourable opinions are not to be despised. They affect the relations of States and of parties, and, if there exist the materials for disparaging our part in the war, there are continental Governments and English politicians who will not fail to use them. So we venture to submit that this is not the time for attempting to enlarge the basis of a Govern ment by comprehending neutrals and waverers, men of unpronounced opinions and indecisive habits. The great mass of the British people, as none can knowbettor than ourselves, are resolved to prose cute the war at all costs, and for this sacred object are prepared to pay any income-tax or any price for their bread. In this respect, it is the same spirit that animates the honest labourer at home and the brave soldier in the Crimea. Of us who remain behind there is only here and there to be found a man who would not gladly go to the war did age, or means, or profession allow. As only a small proportion can do thil, the remainder are pre pared to suffer their equivalent in bereavements, in burdens, in desolation, and in embarrassments. But people in this high-strung mood are not to be baffled or mocked by double-minded and irresolute poli ticians. They will not bear to be told that they are suffering what they do suffer, and may suffer yet more, for a popular frenzy or a statesman's whim. If the war is indeed an error and a crime, let it be repented of—in sackcloth and ashes if necessary. But -then lt — rifist be proved to be wrong by better arguments than have yet been at tempted. So long as we are under the conviction that the cause is one of the noblest that free na tions ever bled for, everything must be done in conformity to this feeling, in the choice both of mon and of measures, and particularly in the Ilse lection of our Ministers at home as well as our commanders abroad. SIR HAMILTON SEYMOUR. ( Prom the Times of this day ) With whatever dignity Lord Westmoreland may have supported British Interests at Vienna during a very critical period, it can hardly be denied that the appointment of a diplomatist to the Court of the Emperor Francis Joseph more capable of takin g a prominent part in the serious discussions which may be expected to arise at Vienna in regard to our Eastern policy will be hailed with satisfaction by the British public. At the time when Lord Westmoreland entered on the duties of his mission reasons no doubt existed which fully justified his appointment ; he has played the part assigned to him, and played it, let us add, well ; but the cir cumstances which especially fitted him for the post have passed away, and accordingly he is replaced by a more vigorous successor. Sir Hamilton Sey mour has been selected for this responsible post, and, with no disparagement to Lord Westmore land, it may be said that he is, as a diplomatist, better qualified to cope with the wiliness of Rus sia, the languor of Austria, and the tergiversa tions of that Monarch whose throne is so deeply seated among the quicksands of the Spree. The mission of Sir Hamilton Seymour to the Court of St. Petersburg was of comparatively short duration, but in that brief space of diplomatic existence he managed to display in an eminent degree the abili ties and the virtues of a British Minister. To him the Emperor Nicholas—no doubt surprised and thrown off his guard by the honesty and simplicity of his antagonist—revealed the secret purpose of his soul in the most remarkable series of conversations which perhaps ever passed between a Monarch and the accredited servant of another Sovereign. By him those conversations were con ducted with the utmost dexterity and address, and honestly noted down from day to day. By him they were as faithfully transmitted to the Ministry at home, and, though concealed by diplomatic re serve and the courtesy of Cabinets for so long a time as the concealment of facts of such paramount importance to the Western world was possible, they blazed forth at last, to the discomfiture of the tortuous policy of the Czar, to the confusion and shame of his Austrian and Prussian satellites, and, we may add, to the establishment at once and for ever of Sir Hamilton Seymour's fame as a skilful diplomatist. To have fathomed the hidden pur pose of that reserved and subtle soul, to have dived into its lowest depths, and to have brought up to the light of day that one great Orient pearl of policy for which the Emperor Nicholas was ready to stake and to squander the political reputation of a quarter of a century, was no small test of ca= pacity, and this Sir Hamilton Seymour was fortu nate. enough to accomplish, where so many. _lit a already tried and failed. It will be said, of Cou rs e , that he was lucky in his time, but let us at leas admit occasion, no doubt, often makes the inanrience we it so sure, we may ask, with the e s s i p r e H cia ana y ilt t o o n that the man admit that he was also wise in his generat:on have had of English diplomacy,. 1 Sir Hamilton would be equal to the occasion h will carry with Seymour was equal to !it, and e . tation which even him on his new mission a reputation We are no ho will find it difficult must confess, i nfess, in those mutter great believers, we mu h s j o h pass for /,a haute politique ings and whisperings w we leave these arts to the but was at diplomatic dinners; - . and •11 and his school.

These nine cases out of a hun redithis S e ymour carries with him to Vienna, and this is na w tio e lls b , the reason why we think that the announcement of his appointment will give universal satisfaction. a________ The King of Sweden has published an ordi nance, including lead in pigs, or in any other form, among the category of articles considered as con traband of war. A letter from Hamburg of the 26th says :—" Three English vessels keep constantly off Sweaborg ; no move ment was observed there on the part of the Russian naval division, withdrawn behind the rooks of Hel ai EXTRACTS FROM THE HARBOURMASTER'S JOURNAL. " Royal Harbour, Ramsgate„ Oct. 26. "Daybreak.—During the past night a continual and heavy gale from south-west, and wind and sea increas ing. The steam-packet Queen of the French, with pas. sengers from Calais, came in, w;th one engine disabled, but took the harbour well, and those on board imme. diately disembarked without difficulty. "At half flood prepared the lifeboat, manned the second boat, ordered steamer Aid to prepare for service. At 10 a.m. a storm of wind, with very heavy sea in the harbour entrance and at the back of the piers ; stationed an extra man with the coxswain at the Pier-end, and another by myself, with the signal staves, to wave the vessels in, as they kept too far to leeward and were en tering very badly, without sufficient canvas to give them proper steerage way through the sea and tide ; and ordered steamer Aid to tow the arrivals to the weather side of the harbour, if possible to clear the others run ning in. f‘ Sent gangs of labourers to both basin gateways to assist the coxswains there to get the crippled vessels and those Without anchors passed through into safety. At 10.50 a.m. a small oyster cutter, belonging to Col chester, came for the harbour, with only small head sails, and improperly across the tide. Waved and hailed to no purpose to induce her to keep more in, but having no after sail she fell athwart the pier, and one of her crew was snatched ashore from the rigging as she fell into the sea, and immediately swamped in the terrific sea outside and its rebound from the walls. One poor fellow was too much injured by the broken bowsprit to ascend the rigging, and was soon gone. All hands now endeavoured to throw lines on to the wreck as she fell over to seaward about 30 feet from the parapet wall, but the wind was so heavy that the lead lines, which are kept for that purpose, could not be thrown success fully from the strongest arms. The life cranes, with their baskets, were already over, but would not reach. Ordered the steamer Aid immediately to attempt the sea with the lifeboat ; the heavy sea between the piers ren dered it doubtful, and the Ramsgate mariners being gene rally, with all my disposable force, engaged in assisting distressed vessels inside the harbour, some detention took place in manning the lifeboat ; but in about 20 minutes both vessels passed out clear through a sea which repeatedly filled the lifeboat, but left her as quickly through the relieving valves. As she cleared the pier-head I hailed them to cut the tow-rope, and take to their oars, to let go their anchor, and veer away down to the wreck, which was fa s t brea king up. "We had succeeded in castingtwo of Cartes' liftbuoys into the tideway with lines attached and streamed them to the wreck, but they became fouled among the spars, and the poor fellows could not reach them. The steamer Aid could not place the lifeboat in consequence of the vessels running for the harbour entrance, and at this moment the French gun-brig St. Barbe struck the pier, went behind it also, and drove down athwart the wrock, and as her stern passed the mast one of the poor smacks men jumped into her rigging and was saved. " The brig then drove clear of the walls and let go her anchor. Two of the smack's crew now remained clinging to the rigging, and it was evident that the life boat must take the risk of rowing right on to the wreck if these men were to be saved, and I continued bailing and waving them to do so. They then rowed right at her, threw a line across one of the men, which be fastened around him, and they hauled lnin on board, but the lifeboat began to subside rapidly, and it was very clear that they bad stove her in so doing. They backed her out olear of the Raffle, throwing at the same time a Cartes' lifebuoy to the remaining smacksman, into which he succeeded in placing himself, and the life boat's crew endeavoured to haul him out clear, but, strange fatality, his legs were so fixedly entangled in the ropes and rigging that they were obliged to desist. He, with great apparent presence of mind, released one arm from the lifebuoy and endeavoured to extricate his legs, but the cause which held him fast (as a heavy sea broke over him) drew him out of the lifebuoy, and he disap peared, and thus three only of, the smack's crew, out of qv -Ave, were saved. 'The water being now - nissilY up to ' - '1"71.6 thwarts of the lifeboat, the crew made sail upon her, ran her into Broadstairs, and landed the rescued man, and had him put to bed and attended to. Our attention had also been directed to the French gun-brig. Her en gine was disabled by striking on the ground. James Hogden, my coxswain of lifeboat, had been left on shore in the haste of getting her to sea, and, as we have a smaller lifeboat suspended tl a davit from the parapet wall, he with three others had jumped into her, and got on board the French brig, and advised the commander to cast her to seaward, and he would take her clear of the shoals. They had done so, and the French consul came to me for steam assistance, and I pointed him to our steamer Aid already on her way after her, in consequence of a signal which I had made to those on board to do so. In about an hour I had the satisfaction of seeing the brig towed in, the French crew cheering as she entered. I then despatched the Aid to Broadstairs after the lifeboat, in case she should bear towing back ; and about 4.30 p.m. had the gratification to receive her again into harbour, but she was supported entirely by the air chambers. Her gar board (or keel strake) was stove in its whole length, and a few more blows upon the wreck would have sent her adrift in fragments ; and any other lugger (not a life boat) would have gone down and all hands with hsr. Ordered her on shore for immediate repair, and retired after eight hours of anxious exertion and drenching upon the piers. About 40 sail had entered for shelter, more or less distressed. One brig broke all her ropes, drove across the sluice guides and bilged ; the rest were safely moored in the basin and kept afloat. " K. B. MARTIN, Harbourmaster."
