ROYAL LYCEUM THEATRE. - THIS EVENING, and every evening during the " e ek, the GRAND ELEUSINIAN SPECTACLE of MAGIC ;T. l MYSTERY, by PrOfessor ANDERSON, the Great ward of the North, in 12 acts, with over-changing variety of incidents, 'continuous surprises, novel and extraordinary eff ec t s • ..""aglc and 'Mystery is an entirely new entertainment, pos ''"ing distinctive characteristics and peculiar phases of amusement. ,It is not a monologue, for the audience them selves Perform their parts with the principal actor, some of them on the stage and others in front ; it is not an exhibiti on , for though everything becomes metamorphosed before the eyes of the visitors no one can be positive that he sees any elle thing ; but it is a comedy really performed by the com pany ; a melodrania replete with startling positions and unex- Peeted 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 success so extensive, so decided, and so unusual. lie 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 , Pared no trouble nor expense to put this entertainment on the stage in the most elaborate manner, by the employment 0 f the first mechanicians and artists o f th e d a y ; an d thi r dl y, th at, while endeavouring to p rov id e amusemen t f or th ose who honour him with their presence, ho has not forgotten that ' t is possible to afford information also, and that the oppor tnnity should not be neglected o f exposing conjuring where ever it has been used for nefarious purposes, or whenever by the to the couror's arts, in an illegitimate manner, "'" designing have succeeded in making dupes of the credulous. The 937 letters on the subject of spirit-rapping, which Pro ftteztrre up to has received, from the time of opening the to the present date, bear witness to the great in crest taken on the subject of this singular delusion ; whilst m any of them bear melancholy evidence to the dangers which ratend a belief i n th e supers titi ous nonsense o f th e '' Spiri tualists." Judging simply by the correspondence which has re sulted, P ro f essor Anderson ' s expose of spirit-rapping and his illustrati on o f t h e so-called table phenomena, have pro duced a sensation unequalled by any previous attempt to ex- Pose a in * a l ' Ise ievous and impudent juggle. It is impossible for Professor Anderson to reply at length to a tithe of the tcommunications which reach him on the subject. He regrets many of these should come from ladies and gentlemen ._„u , from their position in society and their well-known in ,,_eleteetual attainments, he would least have expected to have n converts to a belief so preposterous in itself, and so •even convents susceptible of being controverted and disproved. Every P r i7i t i p f p ro in m g the Lyceum stage, Mr. Anderson's opinions on 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 Irohlic expositio n w ill b e accepted generally as Professor a l it o n ly mo d e o f replying at full length to his mltitudinons correspondents. He regrets that the ; 1 /441e8 of the g rea t an d l earne d o f th e l an d s h ould . a ve been ma d e to figure in the documents emanating ;rem the sp i r i t - rappers, as for instance the following, ex acted front from the Morning Advertiser of Thursday, Septem !iet2o, and t a k en b y that journal from the New York Spiri gal Telegraih. It purports to emanate from an American BPirit- raPPCT Mr. D. D. Hums :—" Sir David Brewster frankly confesses that he is sorely puzzled' at what he has witnessed, and Lord Brougham acknowledges himself to be g t horougly nonPlusse. Boof these noted men brought 'he whole force of the d ir keen discernment to bear upon the S olution of the phenomena; but the presence of substantial, actaal hands, and the demonstrative strength of the spirits w ho thus clothed themselves for the time, 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 th e 4°o ve, has recently left England, and the following account of w ho, and what he is, occurs in the Family Herald, No. 648: " This young man, who is a Scotchman by birth, and now ' 1:1 Italy, is *a remarkable medium for all the manifestations Without apparatus. Barnum, who is well-known throughout t../16 An glo - Saxon world as a splendid humbug, offered hi m 2,000 dollar s per annum sine would perform at , hi s m useum i n N ew ,° ll c. Barnum then took it f or granted that_mediums could ue bought. He was somewhat astonished Nihen his offer was refused. Hume, on, telling the fact in London lately, simply and honestly remarked, that the money would have been very a cceptable to him, for he was poor, young (under 20), an or- Ph an, and in very had health : but he would have been afraid of l osing his powe r as a me di um, an d h e wou ld sooner l ose hAe is life. The refusal, however, made Barnum thoughtful. inquired into the subject; and now Barnum, one of the greatest humbugs in the world, and withal a conjuror, is ° ne of the, fir mes t b e li evers i n spiritualism." It is cer 'll4 surprising to find such a paragraph as this in the editorial article of an established journal, the editor of whom ,bight be s u pp ose d t o b e sane. E ven if B arnum d oes b e li eve spirit-rappi ng —does spirit-rapping gain or lose by t gis accession to its adherents ? and. with Barnum's e n d orse - M ent to it, i s thi s bill, d rawn on p u bli c credulity, more likely t° he negotiated ? Professor Anderson would believe not : when he finds that educated clergymen of the Church of Mend have the temerity to subscribe their names to so gross tsvrindle J when he finds that the incumb en t o f W ort l ey ( the . Godfrey) positively asserts his belief in it, and " r ites a book on the subject, be considers it t, be time for h .. 111 '. to state that which h e k nows o f th e mec h anism by which lkis effected, and the mischief to which it tends. In the b"ing Advertiser of October 3 appears a letter from Sir ...I;avid Brewster, relative to that which he saw at Cox's Hotel, 11, i i i ili o to al:l p l: n w g ith Lord Brougham. He distinctly states that • "iedh the Wizard of the North proclaims every night—that is nothing more than conjuring applied to bad h o W S e , . In the Morning Adverti3er of the following day, Not av er, there is an answer to Sir David's letter from one t4 ,. ° was present when he and Lord Brougham had their table ce (Wargohe spirits, in which the writer says, that " the tt,euion extra dinner-table, I believe) moved about in the most eo,„.ordinary manner, and, among other things, a large ac was conveyed by an invisible agency to my hand and s ? to LOrd Brougham's, in which, held by his lordship's " 0 5! ,t,hand, apart from any person, it played an air through- With such a statement, printed for the edification of thea People of th e 19 t h century, w ith th e f ac t s b e f ore us t h at ut to , ost talented m en o f' th e d a y are permitting themselves O b 0 deluded by these juggling spirit-mongers—that the greatest novelist of the age is now engaged in making it the tiect of a new work, and that a " spiritual convention" ,8 actually been advertised to be held in St. Martin's-hall, is,..rofessor.Anderson trusts that his exposures of the spiritual of America, as given by him nightly at the Lyceum, will i'ee_ree.eived by the people of England as genuine honest at ; "'lns to provide an antidote for the bane of the spiritual 'agelea s • T . 4 the course of the last five weeks 100,017 persons have '.isited the L yceum Theatre,—a larger numb er , it i s b e li eve d , than has e ver b efore been assembled within its walls in so a period.

Masts, spars, rigging, and sails are being prepared at Sheerness yard for - eight of the new gnn-boats now build ing, ready for early servic e nex t spring. • An 'examination of the hull and coppers of her Ma jesty's ship Merlin, Captain Sullivan, has taken place in the dry dock at Woolwich, the result of which has shown that, by the explosion of the Russian infernal machine, three sheets of her Copper were stripped Off, her bulkhead was driven in, and one of her timbers split. ' It is considered by the officers of the yard ainl the ship wright department that what prevented the ' de struction of the vessel was, that the force of the ex plosi.,p struck that part of the ship against which lay the tallow tank. The tank was found started from its positi ,, n and thrown to a distance of six feet, through the bulkhead of the engineers', store room. The crew of the Merlin were on Saturday 'morn ing paid down, one watch being granted 14 days' leave, and subsequently all the hands are to be employed in fitting and rigging gun-boats, to the number of, 120, which will be ready for service by the ecninieneement of • . the ensuing spring.

The battalion paraded again at a quarter before 2 o'clock, and went through a complete field day's exercise under the command of Lieutenant and Adjutant Lem priere, in skirmishing order.

Various reguia'ions have been made for the organisa tion of a permanent corps of instructors in musketry, to be in communication with the Commandant of the School of Musketry at Hythe. In the order iesu€d from the Horse Guards upon the subject the General Commanding in-Chief states that he relies upon the zealous co-opera tion of all, in order to insure the consolidation and well working of a general system of instruction in rifle-shoot ing, by which the efficiency of the infantry cannot fail to be greatly increased. public mishaps on bankers and bank notes ?

They have come in mili tary charge of Captain Ewart, and in medical charge of Surgeon Cusac, of the 47th, under whose charge they have much improved on the passage. They will be dis embarked to sick quarters this morning. The ship ranged alongside the dockyard and disembarked the officers yes terday afternoon under the directions of Assistant Quartermaster-general Dalgetty. The Earl of Shaftesbury also went into Portsmouth harbour yesterday afternoon. S'ie has brought only a f e w Commissariat drivers invalided and stores.

Her Majesty's steam-ship Sans well, 71, Capt. Williams, left Spithead for Plymouth on Saturday morning. Her Majesty's ship Horatio, 24, Capt. the Hon. A. Cochrane, C. 8,, left Spithead f o r Sh ee rness on Friday night. er Majesty's ship Basilisk, 6, paddle-sloop, Commander Jenner, went into Ports mouth harbour yesterday afternoon preparat)ry to being placed in the steam factory basin to receive new boilers. Her Majesty's steam-sloop Inflexible arrived at Ports mouth on Saturday from the Thames, with boilers for the new 90-gun ship Repulse. In going up Channel she had a collision with a merchantman, by which her port paddlebox was stove in, and the paddle wheel rendered unworkable. The stt am-tug Comet was sent out to her on making her accident known, and lashed to her da maged side, and thus helped her into harbour, the In flexible having only one paddle working. The Repulse having been Leen dismantled of her jury rigging has been placed in the steam factory bt.sin to receive her machinery. The statement that officers of the army might on art riving home invalided be admitted without limit into the Royal Naval Hospital at Haslar (Portsmouth), on the came terms and enjoy the same facilities as naval officers, is not quite correct. The order has been made, but there is an error as to the extent of its provisions. It appears that when Sir Charles Wood, with the Board, was last at Portsmouth, the anomaly was brought under his notice, and he at once ordered that accommodation for 12 military officers should be granted in Haslar. More than one officer who came home yesterday in the Robert Lowe availed himself of the privilege, in prefer ence to going into private lodgings and receiving the 12s. 6d. per day extra pay allowed by the Crown to officers under such circumstances, to cover their expenses while sick and disabled, besides the attendance of the medical staff of the garrison. The hospital Ebip Belleisle, Commander Hoskin, from the Eastward, arrived in Plymouth Sound on Friday evening. The Horatio, 24-gun screw steam-ship, Captain the Hon. Arthur A. Cochrane, C. 8., arrived at Sheerness from the Mediterranean (last Irian Portsmouth), on Sa turday, at 3-15 p.m., and anchored in harbour. Her crew are to be paid down, and she is, after making good damage and defects, to be engaged on particular service. On her homeward passage she experienced very heavy weather crossing the Bay, and had a portion of her ham mock nettings and bulwarks carried away. The Cressy, 80 guns screw steam-ship, Capt. Richard L. Warren, and th e Ajax, 60 guns, screw steam-ship, Captain Frederick Warden, C. 8., are hourly expected at Sheerness from the Baltic. The Waterwitch (late 8-gun sloop) has been weighed by No. 1 and 4 lighters in Sheerness basin. The Thistleguu-boat, Lieut. Commander David Spain, now in No, 1 dry dock, Sheerness, will be put out of dock on Wednesday next. She will not be out of the hands of the engineers until the 28th inst.' The Thistle, while under fire bombarding Sweaborg, was struck four times by shell bursting over her. - The Cuckoo, 3, paddle-wheel Aeam-vessel, Lieutenant- Commander Augustus G. E. Murray, was prepared for being put out of dry dock on Saturday, when it was found that her boilers were so defective that they were pondemned ; she will therefore not be out of dry dock as intended.

The following letter has been addressed to a contem porary :—Sir,—To explain in 1855 how such a restric tive and absurd act as the one to limit the currency came to be passed, alniost without opposition, in 1844, when fret-trade doctrines commanded the general assent, the circumstances of the times must be remembered. In 1844 the country was comparatively prosperous. The har vests of 1842 and 1843 had been excellent. The average price of wheat, which iii one week had sold for 765. in 1841, was in 1843 and 1814 about 50s. The amend ments in the tariff in 1842, including a reduction of the duties on corn, had been followed by a considerable in crease of trade; railways; in which speculation was ex cessive, engrossed public attention, and the country teemed with hope, energy, and success. Nobody, except a few writers, had either inclination or time to bestow on a question so abstract as that of the currency, or so remota in its consequences, when bullion was flowing in, as an act of Parliament to restrict the issue of Bank notes. Sir Robert Peel was the ostensible author of the bill, and his name was honourably con nected with the honest measure of 181.9, for re-establish ing in its integrity the contract expressed in every Bank note to pay a specific suns on demand, so shamelessly set 'aside by the Legislature in 1797. In 1844, too, Sir Robert was extremely popular. lie patronised railway enterprise. He had previously, in 1842, in spite of his own party and to the delight of the-liberals, simplified the tariff, reduced many exorbitant duties, swept away a great many restrictions and prohibitions, and effected on the principles of free trade a great customs' reform. In 1843 he had succeeded in settling a long standing and irritating dispute with the United States on the boundaries of their empire and our colonies. Tt.bialong-established reputation as a safe minister he had' recently addod the lustre of an enterprising and sound reformer, and was, especially on all financial subjects, almost uni versally confided in. He was considered to be a great it net an untrring authority. Even his old opponents, who had designated him shallow and plausible, respected him for his bold tariff reform, his professed admiration for the principle of economic science, and his patronage of its professors. Honoured by his own followers, he was regarded by the Liberals as a convert in secret to their doctrines, ready to promote, as far as he could, free- trade measures, and they were studious not to da mage him with his party. They were, on the contrary, anxious to give him, on all questions of commerci al policy, their cordial support; and hence it came to Pa" that an act, described by himself as "affecting every contract; public or private —every engagement, natio nal or individual, that could be entered' into," was passed p, through Parliament with far l ess di scuss i on th an Sun day-trading or a Public-hou se Bill . On May 6th the subject w as b roug h t b e f ore th e House of Commons by Sir R o be r t P ee l , i n a speec h merelyex planatory of his vie Ns ; on May 20th the resolutio ns were discussed and a gree d t ill one sitting ; on J une 13th the bill, founded on th e reso l ut i ons, wa s read a second time, Mr. Ha wes h av i ng in terpose d a n amend inent, condemning that part of the bill which interferes with banks of issue, which was lost by 185 to 30 votes. On June 24th, June 27th, and June 28th it was dis cussed in committee, but excited little interest, Mr- Muntz and Sir Win. Clay having moved amendments with only trifling support ; and on July 4th, with very little further discussion, it was read a third time and passed. In the Lords it was read a first and second time as a matter of course, and was only discussed once, on going into committee on July 12th. Thus, although the bill was ten weeks before the two houses, it under went very little investigation. It was taken on trust, from the high respect which the Parliament and the public had for Sir Robert Peel ; and his great reputation be came the means of procuring the public sanction for a very erroneous law, and of inflicting a lasting injury on society. In the whole Parliament there was no one person, ex cept the Earl of Radnor, who opposed on principle this thoroughly and erroneously prohibitive and restrictive measure. To his honour be it now again brought under notice, he entered a protest against the bill in the jour nals of the Lords, because it unnecessarily interfered with the banks—b: cause it pretended to supply the want of prudence and discretion in individuals by statu tory regulations—and because, amongst other excellent reasons, " the amount of currency required by the wants of the country varies from time to time, and is influ enced by a multitude of circumstances quite out of the reach of human control or possible foresight." The noble lord's forcible arguments passed unnoticed. The Parliamentary influence of the Prime Minister carried all before it, awl in this, as in mite), other cases, a blind deference to authority was the cause of immense public mischief. Another circumstance favourable to the success of the bill was the character of its opponents. In general they were men who were supposed to be currency mad, living in a fool's paradise of false belief" in the omnipote nc y for good of the little shilling, and of promises to pay that were never to be paid. Or they were currency doctors, men who confounded counters with the things counted, and asserted in consequence an unlimited power to in crease the national wealth by increasing the mails of reckoning it. Or they were subtle definers and thinkers, who disported in all possible bypaths and labyrinths into which ingenuity could tempt them, and never came into the highway of common sense or consulted the finger posts of facts. Though not usually jocose, Sir Robert was able to excite the mirth of the house by quoting some of the nonsense of hia opponents ; and he was believed to be right, because the Birmingham school, Lord Cas tlereagh, and Mr. B manquet, had wr itten and utter e d very laughable absurdities. His supporters, too, were men of reputation. Passing by Mr. M'Culloch, whose opinions on such a subject were an authority, the real author of the measure of 1844 was, perhaps, the richest banker in London, a man generally respected for his liberal politics, and almost adored for his large fortune. Mr. Jones Lloyd, now Lord Overstone, by speaking and writing, by verbal evi dence and by elaborate pamphlets, readily procured the assent of the bankers and merchants of London to a pl an which he had suggested, and been greatly instrumental in inducing Sir Robert Peel to adopt. Few in the neigh bourhood of the Royal Exchange could doubt for a mo ment the correctness of the opinions of the richest and most successful banker of the day, and the reputation of the great millioenaire of Lotlibury on a question of bank ing and currency helped materially to fasten on the nation his pedantic and mischievous scheme. If such a plan had been suggested by some newspaper editor, and taken up by some little-trusted member of Parliament, it would have at once been scouted in the City and stifled at Westminster. The authority of rich, successful, and popular men imparted life to an absurdity that has now lasted eleven years, and as at one time stung the corn. inunity into tarantula convulsions, and at another fixed it, like a statue, in despair. This measure, also, was a cunning appeal to many pre judices and many passion. Banking is comparatively a new, art, and bank notes are comparatively a new inven tion. What so natural, therefore, as that every impra videet landlord, every unsuccessful speculator, every dis appointed projector, every fowl cdnservative believe.; in virtues of the past, and beter of novelties as sources of revolution, should throw the blame of their own a . ad all public, an! were, privt feges to thi3 Bank• of 'England, which received with thank fuliiegs=- having this large compensation—the little restriction, imposed for the public benefit, ai was said, oh its mode of managing its own businesq. The measure was described as a restriction on bankers, and so the public, on whom it was a real restriction, acquiesced #n it. Al! parties were cunningly bribed or deluded, arid so readily believed that a measure proposed by a meat luccessful banker—and though about to retire from business—and promoted by the most honoured statesman Of the age, must be advantageous. The public was sacrificed to propitiate the banks. This great autho rity, by ap')ealing to vulgar prejudices, and imposing re strictions on the nation for the supposed benefit of powerful it judged by of eleven y law for stir the potato a war dem certainly. f( Idividualg, was enabled to pass a law which, lhe principles of free trade and the experience ars, is a scandal to our age.

'DEN'S LETTER TO THE WEST RIDING. (Fro;n the Weekly Despatch.) We talsiit as the mo-t infallible sign of the extremity to which t e Czar is driven, that his British patrons at this time Press upon us so urgently the policy of making, the duty hir suing for, peace. Yes ; suing for it—going, cap in harill and with pecravi on the lip, to the Autocrat of Holy Russia—confessing humbly that we have— given him A good licking, and that, therefore, we hope he will condescend to—kiss and be friends. 'The lan guage of opr Russian party in England is uniformly. the same. They proclaim to all the world that their client will never overture us for a cessation of hostilities, and that the wh,r is a great crime. The inference is plain by the logic off exhaustion—ifthe Cz sr won't yield, and to yield is a duty, there is drily one other party in tke field, and that party must give in. It is very apparent that it is always after some signal disaster to the Mu'- covites th a t we are conjured to pacify-them by subinis sic's). Mn! Cobden is alarmed fur his Imperial protege —he sees his fortunes waning. He fears that if he can not succeed in humbugging and frightening his country men into 4egotiation, truce and peace, our armies and navies may have driven the enemy to propose terms of *capitulation. It is as if he had received a message from the Czar Oat he . must alarm us, and coerce our Govern ment into instant negotiation, for positively he cannot hold out any longer. Mr. George Thompson has been seized with another lecturing diarrhoea—our walls are again placarded with enormous bills, and inflammatory placards (" regardless of expense," which must be very coesiderahle) connecting the high price of bread with our resistance to• Russian encroachment. To the same end the riots in Hyde-park are kept up by the enemies of society!a.nd of order ; and .Sr. Bright has announced his intentien of breaking out in a fresh place with an effusion of his boisterous eloquence, and indignant im partiality: These are all symptoms of a "move"--con eenta.neods enough to liaveall 'the features of a " coin cidence" Of the sort described by " Puff "in the "Critic."' It is, doubtless, -high time these evangelists made haste ; for, notwithstanding all their gross mis statements and diversions in favour of the enemy, his days of greatness are numbered, unless he can intro duce his 'wooden horse of sympathizing Quakers and Peace SoCiety partizans into our citadel to betray us. Nothing is gained in the end with Englishmen by flat tering their hopes, or magnifying their pro=pects. have no desire to overstate our case, or to exaggerate our resources. It is a plain and a portentous fact, that since the time of the last great war, the wants, cuiefurts and luxuries of all classes have materially increased. We are, by a course of self-indulgence and expensive habits, hiss able to bear the pinch of heavy taxes, or to deny ourfelves those appliances which the heavy costs of the war call upon us to resign. The masses, in par ticular, have greatly improved their condition—raised their standard of comfort and ta-te—expanded their ideal of social life and domestic habits. Excised here of their surplus earnings by the tax gatherer, and cut down there in their income of wages by the contraction of enterprise and circumscription of trade—the necessary result of war—a trial, doubtless, is bef 're them similar to that which, in times past, has produced ri A, rebel lion and treason. It shall not he said, with any show of justice, that the press, which is char g ed by the Man chester sect with the organization and defence of the war by means of ga:conadire misrepresentation, has suppressed or concealed any facts which could conduce to a sober judgment on the subject. We shall Notice these more willingly because they are already producing a very signal effect on our capitalists, financiers, and laige merchants and manufacturers, who begin to regard the money market and the state of trade with deep anxiety, to waver in the faith which led them either to advocate or permit the war, and who are being prepared . during the inter va l b e f ore the meeting of Parliament to join in the powerful efforts which wi l be made by a large section of our Parliament, and not by a few of our lead ing statesm, n, to compel the Government to initiate pro posals of accommodation with the enemy. It is, we are assured, very certain that this country is, at the pre sent moment, spending one million sterling per week on this .war directly, besides the sacrifice of its trade, and the drain of its able-bodied labourers, which must be sub mitted to that the war may be fed effectively. In the language of the pro-Russian placards, the campaign has annihilated six hundred thousand men, and as much money as would give 241. to each family in the King dom, besides supplies adequate to feed the entire popu lation of Manchester for a whole year. It is positively stated to us by the authority of one of the largest finan ciers in the world, that the expenditure of Fra nce on this - sear is at the rate of one million and a half per week—and it is more than hinted that our neighbours cannot support that exhaustion of their resources much longer. We are prepared to take the facts for granted. Is it necessary to expose the utter groundlessness of the deductions ? In the 30 years of the late war, France, with half her present pepulatien, and less than half htr present income and wealth, sustained a successful con test with all Europe, and maintained a great and splen did navy, coming out of the struggle in 1815 richer and strouger than when it began. England, amid distress. embarrassment, discontent and sedition, found 400,000 troops of the line, 120,000 seamen and Marines, 500,000 Militia, 1,000,000 volunteers for the contest, and 7 0 0,000,0001. of money. She is now twice as populous, and more than twice as rich—with a navy made by steam and science incomparably more efficient—and an army, with all its faults, unequalled in heroism either by its own or any other country. In twelvemonths we .have gained four great battles, destroyed four consider able strongholds of the enemy, and the greatest fortress in the world —seized enormous stores in Azoff and Sebas topol —ravaged the enemy's coasts—destroyed hit greatest fleet, captured a large portion of his commercial marine, sealed up his navy in its harbour, and destroyed 600,000 of his troops in the Principalities, Asia, the Crimea and the Baltic. If it has cost the allies .126 millions to do this ; what has it cost the Czar to suffer it ? Is it necessary for us to say that his expenditure and loss and exhaustion, with a ruined trade, and stag nant commerce, must have been nearly twice as great the the cannot keep the field an hour without having la c surse to thesame expensive appliances of modan, civilised an d scientific warfare employed by us, which must be more cmetly to him than to us whose ready money and open sea enable us to procure everything at the cheapest rate ? The war, in fact, is a question of money; and we who have the most. of it must have the best of it, just as the 'spinning-jenny and the steam-engine conquered Bona parte at Waterloo. How accordingly stands the account I Our revenue is even more responsive to the call of the Chancellor of the Exchequer than his own calculations anticipated.. Our trade never was sounder or our finance _ safer. The traffic on our railways, the index at once of the state of commerce, and the condition of our people, f is fully 10 per cent. greater than it was last year. That 'which Mr, Cobden regards as evidence of the uri of the ity of the war is only proof of the vast prosperity country. Men enlisted formerly in the army and navy because no other course of profitable ensP 0 3 7 _1 11 . t h was opien to them.

The men of desperate fortunes, [ PRICE 4D. STAMPED SD• who, at the beginning of the century, took refuge in our reeiments,. have drafted themselves off to our Colonies and the 'United States ; wbile our mercantile marine, quadrupled in extent, naturally swallows up our.seafar ing population. Our masses did not - enlist during the. last war because it was popular—for, in sootb, they ,did . net care three straws wh a t cau se it was which they fought—and our only surprise is that so many have been" found to.engatre in this . in the face of such discourage 'Tents as the Peaoe party have offered, the gross mis 'management under which the troops have suffered and the appalling mortality which has swept like a .p'ague through out cohorts, and swallowed them up . in famine, ,cold, hunger, fatigue and preventible disease If the war be not popular, how does •it happen that it it is carried on ? Dizzy and Derby have done their best to'burke it. The Manchester school have denounced it, with few exceptions. The leading statesmen, of every party in both houses have, one after another, .fallen away from its support, and openly avowed their convic tion of its impolicy ; yet, in the face of all this, it is pursued with greater vigour than ever. On what possi ble support can it rest against such .opposition but that of the nation itself, which has risen here superior to the aPostaeYof cowardly politicians, doctlinaire crotcheteers, the low cunning.of faction and the sophistry which leads the pAtical casuist through the mire of his logical Ceti- undrums with implicit tnit most ridiculous "nissidUction.” . We are even now in want of a Colonial Secretary, be cause Lord Derby withholds his son from a war Minis try. Yet that Ministry is the strongest that is at pre sent possible, because it prosecutes the war. We. are quiteready to accept Mr. Cobden's test of the opinion of the people on this pOint. He tells us with 26 ; 800 men we outnumbered the French on the Alma, and that .so little popular has been the cause ,Of quart el, the masses have withheld from enlistment even to -supply , the w-aste of tbat:small contingent.. - : If that be so .how oonquer at_ Alizia, Balaklav nii_o; Taber itergt,lpgi,A-1011; inior-Wd-46isaiamtfr _ taya; - lose 500,000 men Sow is it that weentert - th;:fisild spring with 70,000 British Fayonets 'and sabres, and 30,000 Foreign auxiliaries, all the fruit of voluntary: en liscient ? Let the sage for the West .Riding rest per fectly easy on the score of recruits for this war. Should England fail to supply her contisgent, France can readily furnish twice as many as ever can be wanted, and we will probably address ourselves to the proper business of England, that of balancing by her navy the preponderance of France in military resources. The ininuter details of this important letter, which is, in fact, the manifesto of a powerful party, deserve and de mand a second anl special examination. It remains for us now to add that, haying done enough to prove our superiority to the enemy, and to vindicate the law of nations against gross and shameless violation, we shall be prepared to consider, in no spirit of exaction, and to settle, on no stringent terms, any proposals from our beaten and exhausted enemy which he may be disposed to offer as a suitor for peace ; that, it being notorious the population of Russia has utterly failed to supply the drafts of troops recently demanded from them, the war must necessarily, at no distant date, burn itself out ; that the operations of Omer Paella and General Wil liams, in Asia, are straining the resources of Russia to the utmost ; and that, in the event of the insane perse verance of the Czar in maintaining his unprincipled pre tensions, his final expulsion from the Crimea and the Caucasus, with the aid of Sehamyl and the arcassians, will form the natural solution of the politcal problem in the prosecution of the war. HYDE-PARK YESTERDAY. In anticipation of a renewal yesterday of the disgrace ful proceedings of which Hyde r park wAs the scene on the previous Sunday, every precaution was taken by the police with a view to their prompt and effectual suppres sion. On Saturday night the following notice was very generally posted : " Notice—Whereas large numbers of persons assembled on Sunday last, and on several former Sundays, in Hyde. park, and when so assembled conducted themselves in a disorderly and riotous manner, so as to endanger the pub. , lic peace, and, by throwing stones and other Missiles, com mitted many assaults upon persons quietly passing along the park, and interrupted the thoroughfares • and whereas it is necessary to prevent suc h ill ega l proceedings in future, notice is hereby given that no such meeting or assemblage will be hereafter allowed' to take place • and all well dim posed persons are hereby cautio n ed and requested -to ab stain from joining or attending any such meeting or as sembl,ge ; and notice is further given that all necessary measures will be adopted to prevent any such meeting or assemblage, and effectually to preserve the public pouf. " RICHARD MAINE." Notwithstanding this notice, and perhaps as a conse quence of it, by arousing public curiosity, the gathering in the park by three o'clock, or shortly alter, was much more numerous and infinitely more respectable than that of the 4th inst.; bearing a strong resemblance to that which took place on the Ist of July, when the in-" tervention of the p)lice gave rise to so much condemna• tory comment. Well-dressed 'gentlemen, fashionably attired ladies, and women .with children in their arms were-visible in all directions ; but there were, neverthe less, not wanting some fall' or five hundred noisy and turbulent young urchins, who contrived to keep up a good deal of uproar, but without the perpetration of any actual mischief. In fact, the preparations of the police were upon a scale which prevented any hope of even a momentary impunity, had any of the ruffians who made themselves so conspicuous on Sunday week been in clined for a disturbance. The various footways were lined with constables on foot, and strong parties of the force were spread about in all directions, with peremp tory instructions and a strong determination to act energetically if necessary. A powerful troop of horse police, under the personal command of Captain Labal moodiere, took up a position of the open space north of the Serpentine. The most trusted superintendents and inspectors were on the field. The police were often hoc ted at, and almost hustled by the boys, who, how ever, scampered away in all directions whenever the horse police moved about for exercise, but no actual dis turbance of the peace occurred. A little after four a man was apprehended for attempting to make a speech, as was alleged, or distributing political handbills, and his capture had an excellent effect in drawing off from the park after him at least two-thirds of the vast assem bly. As dusk came on the remainder of the crowd dis persed, and by half-past five all was quiet. THE AFRICAN MAILS. ARRIVAL OF THE STEAM-SHIP GAMBIA. PLYMOUTH, SUNDAY. The Royal African Mail Company's screw steamer Gambia, Capt. Rolt, arrived at this port, at 7 o'clock this morning, with the usual African mails. Her dates are :—Fernando Po, Oct. 9 ; Lagos, 12 ; Accra, 14 ; Capo Coast Castle, 15 ; Liberia, 19 ; Sierra Leone, 23 ; Bathurst, 27 ; Goree, 28 ; Teneriffe, Nov. 2 ; Madeira, 4. She brings 5 passengers, among whom is Capt. Glyn, of her Majesty's ship Hecate, superseded. Positions of her Majesty's ships :—The Dolphin was in Congo River ; the Teazer was off Gallinas; the Bloodhound and Alecto were about to join the Commander-in-Chief ; the Myrmidon was off the Gambier ; the Minx was about to proceed with the Consul to Calabar and Cameroons, to arrange difficulties between the natives ; the Childers was at Cape Coast. The Antelope left on the 2d October for the south coast with English mails for the squadron. Commodore Adams, in the Scourge, was off Loando. The Plumper and Linnet were also with him. The Hecate was provisioning at Sierra Leone for the Bights squadron. The Ferret was cruising to the northward. No further disturbances had occurred at Bonny, on the Gambia. The French had succeeded in capturing the leader of the insurgents at the latter place. . _ _ A ni r e ei w )o ma r se t rt h cahk a a d enn b tu e l e ps4 n circulated that the Asha ntee s were rising at Cape Coast, de spatched to the spot, but it proved to be false up at the urgent request of the acting g O'Connor, was about to return to Lacse Gambia, The coast, with the exception of t was tolerably healthy. alarm, and the Philomel, which bad been towed upwards- of 1,000 men demand il o ce f Bristol, was The French have sent ue „ some dis. for ground f ht r ui o gr m bhapn S re t ie . ese L .s o . uis Th u e p re th . e was realising nuts for the continental At Sierra Leone Afrievani::,oPa:y, cer of the steamer, was un• bushel.

It could not be but that some words of admiration should fall from his lips when solitude and reflection caused him to think calmly of the deadly contest of more than 20 years. But to mankind it seemed that those mutual wounds could never be forgiven. A. peace of armed watchfulness seemed to represent the closest union which was possible between the two rivals, around whose banners bad been grouped the camps ofEurope during the longest and most devas tating war which the modern world bad seen. A generation has passed away, and a French Ambac sa.dor now quotes to an English audience the words of the great exile. "It is now 35 years," said M.. de Persigny at Guildhall, " since the Emperor Napoleon I. expressed his regret that he had been -unable to conquer the prejudices of the two peoples and to gaia the frendship ofEngland. ' What great ' thing 'he exclaimed, could we have done if . ;.-- Burt Tew•-1411m-eigh000014141.0........., niiklit,rlrideecl, have spoken of the 'blessings of . peace, of the progress of the world, through the tranquillity of France and England. He might have pointed out that when these two great nations were at peace the world had rest, while their dis cord lighted up a flame in the furthest corners of Europe. But this would have been all. The ne gative benefits of a cessation of •enmity, the pro gress of trade during the reign of tranquillity, the necessity of preserving by every means the actual state of Europe, and of abstaining from anything which could give offence to the national-pride of a neighbour, would have been the limit of the speak er's cautions and hopes. It is only within the last two years that the full force of the first Napoleon's words could have been appreciated. " Those great things," said the Ambassador, " are now being accomplished for the happiness and security of the world." Europe will no longer advance through the abstinence, but through the efforts, of its lead ing Powers. They are no longer compelled by a sense of duty to abdicate their influence, lest it should lead to mutual hostility and the calamity of the world ; the time has come when they can give full play to their genius and aspirations, cer tain, as far as human things are sure, that the rivalry will only be as to which can labour most efficiently in a great and approved cause. It is of little use to argue for or against the wars which Pitt and Castlereagh waged with revolutionary France. Men who have seen the event may pronounce dogmatically that the policy of past statesmen was shortsighted, for getful that they themselves look clearly upon results which could only be seen darkly by the generation which is gone. It must ever remain a disputed question whether the first outbreak of re-! publican violence was wisely resisted by arms. Some may say, as the men of the time said, that the tempest would have overwhelmed Europe. Pitt is to them the man at the wheel, the pilot who weathered the storm, the prophet who stood be tween the living and the dead and stayed the plague. Others will have it that England, its Church and King, its foreign allies, its alarmists, and its bigoted mob who listened to them, were alone to blame. France would, according to them, soon have returned to tranquillity. Even the Bourbon might have preserved his life auk throne. The excesses were those of a threatened and ill-used people, whose territory was violated and whose chosen institutions were interfered with by the despots, great and petty, of old Europe. Changes were necessary ; mankind had suffered for- cen turies, and their patience was exhausted. Since the close of the Tuirty Years' War the monarchies ureal hade upholderso stagnated ffeud or s, oa u fr i n dt both ol England, g lo n ap i n a i dl n i:o breathednto though gahre temporarily m the many f n r y e e and air of action and libert.s. Pitt and Coburg were the victorious, had its reward in long years of disean tent and a debt which centuries cannot efface. weighty arguments to adduce, but the discussion can have no real value, fur it cannot teach a clear lesson for our future conduct. It is plain that England went to war because a deep impulse urged her to the conflict. Whether the immediate object was gained it is useless to inquire ; both nations laboured, sufferei, and paused exhausted from the struggle ; but what each obtained was, that in that long contest it developed itself and was fitted to bear its part in the new condition of Europe. France created the system of society - which is most suited to its wants and inspira• tions, and from its captured capital began to influence the world with greater power than in the age of Louis XIV. England during its long isolation equally strengthened its national; character and threw off the slough of a century 'of imitation and dependence; its commer cial, manufacturing, and colonial systems were 'perfected, its energies were roused to efforts in every walk of knowledge and action, a constella tion of great names brightened its annals, and into the whole nation was infused that vigour which has enabled it to hold its high place during forty years of peace. France and England are now still padre decidedly the first countries in Europe than they were in 1789. Had Liverpool and Castlereagh made peace with Napoleon, the Bonaparte dynasty might, as now, have sat on the throne of France without the dreary episode i of the Restoration or the corrupt interval of the 'Orleans reign. But possibly in that case Bonapartism would have expressed other and lower ideas. The ruler of France might have been merely a monarch after the pattern of Vienna or Berlin. Fifty years of empire would have given him a place in the continental brotherhood, and all that is distinctive in the character of his Govern ment.. might have long vanished. is strong, not only by following the precedents,rdecessor. but by avoiding the faults of his great Pa.
