The Lords' Amendments to the Dundalk Harbour and Port Bill, and the Glasgow, Dambarton, and Helensburgh Railway Bill, were considered and agreed to. SUPPLY. On the order of the day for the house going into com mittee of supply, Major REED gave notice that he should bring for ward the motion which stood in his name, relative to calling Parliament together previous to ratifying any terms of peace, at the evening sitting. THE WOUNDED IN THE CRIMEA. Mr. STAFFORD called attention to a letter which had appeared in the Times newspaper denying the state ments wade by him as to the wretched condition of the wounded after the affair of the 18th of June before Se bastopol. He di►d not a.k for any answer on the part of the Government, but he trusted their attention would be bestowed on the subject of the sufferings of our wounded, which he described as very painful. GOOD SERVICE PENSION TO LORD GEORGE PAGET. Mr. DILLWYN called attention to a report that Lord George Paget has received a good service pension of 1001. a year, with the view of inquiring into the truth of such report, and of ascertaining., if true, what the Fpecial services have been for which such pension has been awarded. (Hear, hear.) Ile did not doubt the gallantry and merit of Lord George Paget, but he believed he had not seen much active service. It was true he was engaged in the brilliant affair of Bilaklava, and no doubt had well and gallantly discharged his duty there ; but he (`Zr. Dillwyn) believed he had not seen active service since ; that he spent last winter in this country, and was now, as he understood, at Con stantinople. He knew nothing personal of Lord George Paget, and therefore wished to say nothing of him, but he thought it was due to the house and to the army, that the house should know that pensions of this de• scription were not awarded on account of birth or patronage, but really on account of good. service in ac tion. Mr. PEEL said it was quite correct that Lord Geo. Paget had been made the recipient of a good service pension by Lord Hardinge, who was alone responsible for such pensions. He was a good deal surpri , ed at the animadversions which this pension had given rise to, for the hon. gentleman ought to be aware the house could not properly distinguish the merits of individual officers. The reason why Lord George Paget got this pension was, that at the battle of Balaklava, where there were ten cavalry regiments engaged, Lord George Paget was the senior regimental colonel present, and led his regiment and rallied them with the utmost gallantry and therefore he eras judged a fit and proper recipient for a good service pension. Colonel LINDSAY said no man could deny that those gallant officers who had done their duty in the Crimea deserved every reward that a grateful country could bestow. At the same time, he thought the coun try had not been sufficiently grateful in rewarling the distinguished services of those officers who had served in the Peninsular war, and he hoped the attention of the military authorities would be directed to the subject. After a few words from Sir W. GALWAY, Lord PALMERSTON put it to the house whether this was a time to discuss such a question as this. These rewards were intrusted to the discretion of the Commander-in-Chief by virtue of his office ; and he asked was it possible that the members of this house could determine whether any particular officer was or was not deserving of those rewards, and he believed such discussions would have a most prejudicial effect on the public service. (Hear, hear.) Captain SCOBELL said as this matter had been alluded to and commented on in the public papers, it was better that the explanation now given should have been given is this house. Major REED believed the hon. gentleman the Under Secretary at War (Mr. Peel) was incorrect in saying that Lord George Paget was the senior colonel present at Balaklava. Mr. PEEL said he had said the senior regimental colonel. Sir F. BARING expressed his opinion that those pensions ought to be given to the oldest officers. (Hear.) Mr. WILLIAMS protested against the doctrine laid down by the noble lord at the head of the Government, that the House of Commons had no right to canvass those questions. (Hear, hear.) Lord PALMERSTON said he had not stated that— ho had only said it was not a fit question for discussion. Mr. A. PELLATT thor,ght the present was a case of great hardship, and if it was consistent with the rules of the house he would move an address to her Majesty, that men who had so much right to receive a reward from their country had been overlooked, land entreating her Majesty to take their case into her serious consi deration. He thought that the course pursued by the Government in the present instance was without a pa rallel. . _ Colonel DUNNE thought that the present system of promotion in the army was very defective, and ought to be amended. As it at present existed .men that were made corporals would receive less ths❑ the common soldier. The subject then dropped, and the house resolved itself into a committee of SUPPLY. On the question that a sum cf 3,7111. should be granted for the Statute Law Commiskion, some short (liscus,ion took place, and the vote was ultimately agreed to. TII E WAR. 1 On the vote of 3,000,0001. for the a dditional expense of the war with Russia being put, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that this sum had been allowed for in the additioral estimates that had been brought forward, and it only required that the sanction of the house should be given in order to enable the Treasury- to meet the demands that might be made upon it. It did not follow, in granting the vote, that the amount would be required. After some short discuision, The vote was agreed to. Mr. PEEL then rose, pursuant to notice, to move a supplementary commissariat estimate for the service in the Crimea. The house had already granted to the Government for this aepartment a . sum of 1,440,0001., and a further sum of 2,260,0001. was required to carry it out effectually. The right hon. gentle man at some length entered into the details of the course that had been adopted by the Government in buying cattle and providing for the provisioning of the army, in the course of which he stated that large depots had been formed in the Crimea, by which the greatest comforts had been afforded to our army there, and by which they were insured for four days a week fresh meat. Equal attention had been paid to the navy, and a full amount of food had been secured to them. [LEFT SITTING.] TIIE LATE DISLWEBANCES IN HYDE- PARK. CONCLUSION OF THE INQUIRY INTO THE CONDUCT OF THE POLICE.—(THIS DAY.) The Commissioners took their seats for the last time this morning shortly after 11 o'clock. Mr. Mitchell, in addressing the commissioners, said he had to thank Mr. Duncombe, en the part of his clients, for calling the attention of the house of Commons to the circumstances complained of, and getting this inquiry appointed, and forhimself ho thanked the commissioners for the courtesy they had shown him in conducting the case. He was not there covertly to support any particular views with reference to the Sunday Trading Bill or the Beer Bill ; and, in reference to the better observance of the Sabbath, remarked, be thought an improvement in that respect might be obtained by employers paying their servants on Fridays instead of Saturdays. He, however, looked upon Lord R. Grosvenor's Bill as an attempt to revive an almost obsolete statute of Charles 11., which oppressed the poor to make amends for the profligacy of the rich. He was there to complain on the part of his clients against a gross outrage committed by the police, and which they would never cease to complain of by all lawful means until they obtain re dress, and the persons so complained against punished. Mr. Mitchell next adverted to the number of persons who had voluntarily coma forward to speak to these out rages—men knocked down by the policemen's bludgeons, women whipped, and other acts of violence, the people being in every way insulted and ill-used, locked up in cells, at 'which the Commissioners had expressed disapprobation, and where they were confined a whole night, bail in their opinion being illegally refused them. Many of these persons, it would be remembered, were confined all night, and not brought before a magistrate till 5 o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, and then they were discharg,ed—some with out charges being made against them, whilst others were not liberated until Tuesday. Some of these were work ing men, who sustained great injury by loss of time, and their characters much injured in the estimation of their employers. The police acted outrageously, and were led on by one man against whom half his witnesses spoke. Of the 86 witnesses he bad called, 20 spoke to specific acts of violence on his part, whilst others described h;m as being mad," raving mad," "a lunatic," f; a mad• man," " striking with his whip," " swearing . ," "riding clase rpan the people," striking respectably-dressed s," &c. Of the persons making complaints one was a colonel, a member of the aristocracy, and a relative of Lord Harcourt ; five were gentlemen of independent means, four Larristers, six professional men, forty trades men, some carrying on extensive business, and thirty working men. A'l of them were men of such character and standing that not a word had been advanced against their character by Mr. Ellice in the course of his cross examination. If the charges he had brought against the police were true, they required serious consi deration. B-at how had they been met by the solicitor for the police? Why, by calling the men whose num • hers had been taken, all of whom c:enied the charges, which he (Mr. Mitchell) expected, because by the 2 and 3 Vic., chap. 47, sec. 14 (the Metropolitan Police Act), it was enacted that every constable who shall be guilty ' of neglect or violation of duty in his office of constable, shall be liable to a penalty of 101., to be deducted from his salary, or, in the discretion of the magistrate, im prisoned, with or without hard labour, for a period not longer than one calendar month. He proceeded to ad vert on the evidence of the policemen, which, he said, was not to be credited, or, at all events, to be looked upon with extreme suspicion. He did not at tempt to deny that some carriages were hissed at, and stones thrown, but all that took place in the Park on the Ist of July was caused by the riotous conduct of the police. They rushed in pell-mell in all directions amongst the people, striking in all directions, using not the slightest discre tion. He next read extracts of the evidence given by the complainants with reference to the character and con. duct of the people and the outrage committed by them, which he contrasted with that of the police. The commencement of all the ill-feeling against the police was their ostentatiously taking away the dead eel. He thought the people might have been allowed to amuse themselves with it without the interference of the police. It would have been time enough for them to have interfered when a breach of the peace was evident. It was not only his opinion, but that of his clients, and a number of persons who sympa thised with them, that the disturbances were mainly caused by Sir Richard Mayne. His evidence showed he anticipated a meeting of a tumultuous character, and probably a riot ; and, consequently, he should have been on the ground, and given directions, instead of remaining at his office, which showed great care lessness and want of foresight. As riots did not occur every day, had Sir• Richard been on the ground he pro bably could have prevented so serious a disturbance oc curring. It was a gross breach of duty on the part of Sir Richard Mayne, if the clearingthe railings was so neces sary, a sufficient number of police were not on the ground to keep the line when the people were sent back. After adverting to Sir Richard's absurd description of the rushing of the police, and the notices read by Sir Richard Mayne, as well as his own, which requested all "well disposed persons " to keep away, thereby inviting the disorderly to attend ; and although so many persons were apprehended, and the character of the crowd so riotous, it was extraordinary that but four of the police were reported as injured, and that but slightly. Mr. Mitchell next alluded to what he called a serious derilection of duty on the part of Sir Richard Mayne, in not attending that evening at the Vine-street station to admit the prisoners to bail, he being, in addition to his chief commissionership, a justice of the peace for the purposes of the Metropolitan Police Act. Although he did not act as such, a routine so mi,chievous in its results might have been departed from, and Sir Richard have gone to the station, having, if he were in doubt, first consulted ooe of the law ad visers of the Government. It was only from the expres sion of public indignation through the press such a change was reac'e in the nature of the charges but at the time be took no trouble to ascertain what the charges really were. According to "Burn's Justice" persons meeting together fora public purpose and broke the peace was nut a riot but treason. It was the privilege and right of Eng lishmen to attend meetings and express their opinion in a quiet and orderly manner, which was not to be set aside merely because a few idle boys and thieves of Lon don mixed amongst them and got up a row.

Croskey and Co., for establishing a line of first-class paddle-wheel steamships between New York and Southampton. At the Nenagh (Tipperary) assizes on Monday, Michael Ryan and John Gleeson were tried for the mur der of Dennis Mullowney. The jury returned a verdict of euilty against Ryan, and acquitted Gleeson. THE GIRHONY MURDER.—At Brecon Assizes, on Tuesday, Joseph Richards, aged 60, was charged with the wilful murder of John Davies, at the parish of Llan gynider, in the county of Brecon. The jury returned a verdict of " guilty of wilful murder." The Lord Chief Justice said he concurred in the verdict, passed sentence of death on the prisoner, and held out no hope of mercy. A jeweller and silversmith, carrying on business at 17, Lisson-grove North, and at 62, Crawford-street, Bryan ston-square, was placed at the bar, yesterday, before Mr. Broughton, at the Marylebone police-court, on the serious charge of having in his possession gold watches and other property to the amount of at least 1001., all of which articles had shortly before the discovery of them by the police been stolen. The prisoner was remanded. SERJEANT BRODIE OF THE IST ROYALS.--Another attempt has been made to punish this non-commissioned officer, for conduct which the Commander-in-Chief pro nounced to be " praiseworthy," but it has signally failed. On Wednesday morning an order was received by the garrison surgeon to examine Serjeant Brodie, with the view of ascertaining his fitness or otherwise for foreign duty. Accordingly, the serjeant was subjected to the usual medical examination ; but, at its conclusion, the surgeon certified that he was suffering from chronic rheu matism, and therefore unfit for foreign service.—Sou% Eastern Gazette.

Blackwood.—The first article is on "The Baltic in 1855," and is from the pen of the same writer who lately described to us the position of Aland and its inhabitants, and the general aspect of the Baltic in 1854. The picture he draws of the natu ral aspect of the country is not very encouragingt If there was exaggeration in the clangers, he tells us there was none in the unpicturesque and unro mantic character of the Baltic cruises. If it be true, as some have asserted, that the national cha racter is affected by its scenery, the traveller can easily understand how the love of enterprise and daring of the bold Norwegian rocks dies away along the dreary Baltic shores. The writer takes a minute and interesting survey of Cronstadt, which he justly terms a grand and interesting study. "As a military system of defence," he says, " it must command our unbounded admiration. As we trace the wonderful and skilful appliances of science therein ; as we see how every means have been enlisted, every resource employed, every sacri fice made, every power and invention brou4it into action in its construction—we are compelled to recognise and appreciate the skill, the foresight and forethought, the patience, the resolution, the per severance and labour, which have effected such re sults. Baffled as we must feel ourselves to be, when to our longing and searching scrutiny it presents no opening, no weakness, no opportunity— when everywhere we detect the prevailing prin ciple that no point should be left to a single de fence, but that each should be covered, backed, or flanked by some otherstill we must feel, also, mingled with our bitterness, a sort of triumph in such perfection of professional art. As a military defence it is indeed a grand effort." " Zaidee" is continued, and this number brings us to a more living interest and a fairer promise of one of our authoress's charming heart-romances than any we have yet seen. There has hitherto been something dreamy and unreal about Zaidee and her sur roundings; but now both she and Mary step forth, and assume their proper places as recognised hero ines, by the river Thames, and the reader awakes to the charm of a story of domestic life. The " Notes on Canada and the North-west States of America" are continued with interest. The details of canoe travelling are curious. When the Missis sippi is high, the rapidity with which they descend from Crow Wing to St. Paul's is surprising. A hundred miles in eight hours is said to have been accomplished in these waters ; and though the water was unusually low, the traveller's perform ance in one day was eighty miles. The second part of the essay on " The Imperial Policy of Russia " continues the review of the Sovereigns of Russia, and traces the development of their un principled and aggressive policy to the latter part of the reign of Catherine the Second, an epoch when the intentions of Peter's successors of "sapping the foundations of the civi lised world" were first discovered. The writer promises us another paper on the same subject to bring it to the present era. Mr. Warren's edition of " Blackston9's Commentaries" affords a subject for some observations on legal reform and recent alterations. The following paper bears the some what contradictory title of " Modern Light Litera ture—Science." We are in an age of learning, in deed, when science is called light literature. some very sensible remarks are made in this article, which also criticises some recent works, among others, Mr. Kingsley's new work of " Glaucus," Mr. Gosso's " Aquarium," Acheta's " Episodes of Insect Life," and other similar works. Au article entitled " The War, the Cabinet, and the Confe rences," cannot of course be anything but a vigorous denunciation of the conduct of the Government, and an expression of astonishment and indignation at Lord John Russell's ambassadorial perform ances. " The Story of the Campai gn ," by th e faithful correspondent "in a tent in the Crimea," gives us a graphic description of the conferences and debates, and the unsuccessful attacks on the Malakhoff and Redan. Dublin University.—A great variety is to met with in this number. " Alberico Porro" is con tinued, the events become more striking as the enthusiastic young hero is presented to the " Yen gatori," as the conspirators called themselves, as their future leader. Many dangers are in store for the daring and impetuous chief. The police and government spies found out his having formed an alliance with the disaffected, and a pretended friend was employed to discover his secrets, and thence to lead on to his ultimate betrayal and ruin. A vivid description is given of the scene in which the Archbishop Romiili entered Milan. Too soon, however, were the rejoicings reversed, and the place of mirth was turned to a scene of carnage. The fierce Austrian soldiers charged upon the peo ple, and the sight of their brutality and injustice rendered still more indignant the already excited Porro. " The Fortunes of Glencore "is a strange story, in which a nobleman, owing to some caprice, retired to a lonely ruin, which was all that re mained of the castle of Oloncoro. Here he fell ill, and an old servant could get no one to send for a doctor or assist him in procuring a conveyance to go himself ; accordingly, ho was induced to accept the services of an old hunchback whom he met with. The lordly recluse did not approve of this arrangement, but, being faint, the improviso doc tor had his own way. He succeeded, however, in restoring the patient, and there seemed some truth is his assertion that "he had a knowledge of disease, as of nature, by observation." " Our Sea Songs" contain some interesting remarks on the subject of naval poetry. It is observed that the king of the sea poets is Dibdin. Herman Melville said that his songs " breathe the very poetry of ocean." Ex tracts are given of some of his pieces—" The sweet little cherub that sits up aloft," arc. "The Ship wreck" is presented in an entire form, and it is truly prefaced of it that it is a fine production. A ve ry meritorious composition is brought before the reader's notice at the conclusion of the article, en titled " The Sailor Boy's Grave." It is written in a free and unaffected style, and it displays genuine feeling, expressed in appropriate language : " THE S.ULOR-BOA GRATE. " Bright, bright were the sailor-boy's dreams in life's morning, When hope with its fairy-forms gilded the way, And a thousand sweet visions of happiness dawning. Were spreading their shadows throughout the' long day. Quick, quick beat his heart at the buoyant bark's motion, For his childhood's first dream—his first love— Were the foam-crested waves of the wide-spreading ocean, With the sun and the sea-bird above. " Soon, soon were his hopes and his fairy-dreams banish'd ; Not long did they gladden his sight; For he sickened, and quickly the light of life vanish'd, Till it wan'd into death's gloomy !light. They buried him then in the shroud they had made him, 'heath his childhood's first dream—his first love — And sea- shells are scattered around where they laid him, With the sun and the sea-bird above. " No flowers bloom in beauty; no stone tells his story; No dirge, save the wind and the wave ; No tablet of fame, and no emblem of glory, Are found near the sailor-boy's grave. Yet his head rests in peace on his coral-rock pillow, 'Neath his childhood's first dream—his first love— And the sun, and the sea-bird, and foam-crested billow, All sparkle in splendour above." " The Dramatic Writers of Ireland" form the sul ject of a seventh sketch, but no notabilities are made mention of in this portion. "Papers on Poetry," of Spanish, romantic, and chivalrous ballads is continued, and a long account is given of the " celebrated ballad of Count Alarcos, which the critics of all countries have agreed in pronounc ing one of the most beautiful and affecting that can be found in any language." " The Bath of the Streams" is a pleasing poem, by Denis Florence M'Carthy. " Mid-day with the Muses" enters in detail on the subject of several new poems that have lately appeared, and there appears great truth in the remark that, among these songs, there have not been auy lyrics that aro likely to be im mortal in our literature, and to be handed down to our children's children, like " Hohenlinden," " The Battle of the Baltic," and the old sea songs. "Forest Trees" is an article that imparts useful and interesting information on its peculiar subject, and it is made pleasing by illustrations in verse. Bentley's Miscellany.—The first o article relates f the progress of the war, and the siege the last month. A similar paper, entitled • of the A Russian Romance," gives us a Russian account -of the Battle of Inkerman. It is curious to compare the narrations. The Russian chronicler's chief ob ject, next to exalting the national c haracter, aP pears to be to excite jealousy betwee n the Allies. This pamphlet consists of a series of mis.statementse tub , but as the writer justly observed, " facts ars born things, and the succes sion of atrociti▪ es of which the Russians have be en g uilty, commencing at Odessa and terminating, at Hango, speak more to their natural character than all the studied apologies they put forth to the world." The fir s t part of a tale by Dudley Costello, .entitled ce T he Prison Van" is not of . unusual. merit. The i n • Cl.- dent from which it derives its title, though some_ what improbable, is sufficiently ludicro us . A. very pert young foreigner mistakes a • ~des' e s . last for an omnibus, and insists on his admission.Prisoll van English The readers of Mr. Harrison Ainsworth description of the story will be interested in the revival of the time-honoured Dun mow," the bestowal of the Flit Custom of Dun- A passage of late years has fallen into desuetude.eh of Bacon, which in the life of tho late Czar describes th e n a r row his life in escape he once had of journeying from bya i Rome, attended Polish guard o f hono ur . A Pole was suddenly left alone in a deserted spot by the side of the Emperor, who was sleeping in an I open carriage, and felt strongly tempted to avenge his country's misfortune by plunging his sword in his heart. Prosings by Monkshood criticise Samuel Phillips's " Essays from the Times," and a notice of Mr. Gilfillan's Portrait Gallery is not very com mendatory to the painter. A memoir of Marshal St. Arnaud will excite interest, though it is not in all reepects satisfactory. The adventures of Ben jamin Bobbin are continued, and a paper on the Twin Castles of the Crimea," Mangup Kalah and Fufud Kalah conclude the number. Colburn's New Monthly.—For some months past this magazine has been taking a successive review of the military strength and peculiarities of all the European states. Those of Austria, Russia, and Prussia have been respectively considered, and this month the first paper describes to us the armies of the smaller German Powers. At the present moment all such information is of value, and will interesteven the uninitiated. " A Day inle Desert" transports us into another hemisphere, and bids ua forget the turmoils of civilised existence in the soli tude of the Egyptian sands. " The Comforters" is a pleasing and pathetic story. It relates the for- , tunes of a sculptor, and takes its title from his chief work, a representation of Sleep, Death, and Time. " The Last Visit to the Trysting Place" is the name of some melodious and mournful verses, by Mary Monck. " The History of Stoke Dotte rell" is continued, and leaves the heroine in a very uncomfortable position. "The Diary of a First Winter in Rome" has now reached Easter week, and we should therefore surmise it must soon approach its conclusion. Some of the incidents of Italian life are interesting. A paper on " Philarte Chasles ' " a French essayist, gives an entertaining account of the opinions of our neighbours on our literature. The present critic's writings display great judgment and ability. The extraordinary story of " The Reception of the Dead," is con cluded. The idea of the dressed-up corpse is a painful and revolting one, and quite destroys the charm lingering around the peaceful deathbed of youth and beauty. The papers on " The Eighteenth Century," are continued, and now describe the state of political feeling which had then attained a degree of violence and intensity quite unknown in our calmer days. " Sketches of the Italian Revo lution," by an eye-witness, relates the ineffectual struggle and pourtrays the miserable condition to which the people are now reduced under Austrian surveillance. "Lyrics," by T. Westwood, do not display any unusual merit,. Colburn's United Service.—Au interesting and friendly "Memoir of Field-Marshal Lord Raglan," accompanied by a well-executed portrait, opens the number. The memoir would have been none the worse had the writer been inspired to a greater extent with the magnanimous spirit of the deceased veteran. " Adventures at the taking of Kertch" is a lively paper by an assistant-surgeon present on the occasion. In conjunction with it should be read an historical and descriptive sketch of Kertch, subsequently given. " The War in the East"— The writer, among other things, suggests the pro bability of the selection of Balaklava having been unfortunate, since its proximity determined the nature of the attack on Sebastopol, which has turned out not to have been the best. If a verti cal fire can be maintained so as to drive the enemy from their works, he is of opinion the attack on the Malakhoff and Redan may be successful ; and should the present system fail, inquires whether it would not be advisable to try and starve the place by interposing an army between it and Perekop. The number contains its usual variety of profes sional articles, news, and remarks. North British Review.—The claims of Newton are analysed with some little rigidity in the open ing article. Sir Isaac's fame rests, we are told, on a tripod, the feet of which are fluxions, optics, and gravitation, and of these the second alone is damaged. The evidence appears conclusive as to his religious creed—he was a Unitarian. A care ful review of five of Sir E. Bulwer's novels marks most of the blots as well as beauties of that dis tiniruished author. " Tho Political Reformation of Holland," inaugurated by William of Orange, and to which, owing to our intercourse with the Dutch in the 16th and 17th centuries, we are so much indebted, is the subject of an article deserv ing a thoughtful perusal. " The System of Pur chase in the Army " is defended, and that of pro motion by merit declared impracticable in an in conclusive, not to say sophistical paper. Besides the above, there are several articles of more or less merit, including one in reference to Mrs. Norton's remarkable letter. The British Quarterly.—Jackson and Walford. —A. slashing article on " Ethnological Researches," an American work, contending, among other things, for several creations, is followed by a somewhat rabid paper on " The Know Nothings and Ameri can Prospects," and an interesting notice of "The Genius and Writings of Young," not the poet, but the distinguished savant, who first established the undulatory theory of light, and penetrated the ob scurity which had veiled for ages the hieroglyphics of Egypt. Among the subjects treated in the re mainiuz articles, are "Administrative Reform," and "Russian Aggression and British Statesman ship," elaborate papers of considerable merit, in which the urgent necessity of the one is tardily a.buitted, and execution is cordially done on the other two. Irish Quarterly. W. B. Kelly, Dublin.—The first will be found not the least interesting paper. It is entitled " The Poets of America," and is a praiseworthy attempt to supply a desideratum— viz., a collective review of the American poets, with illustrations, which will enable the reading public to form some conception of their positive and rela tive merits and demerits. The poets reviewed are —Longfellow, Bryant, Sigourney, and Holmes, to whose genius ample and unreluctant tribute is paid. The continuation of " A Memoir of John Banim " contains the fifth and best act of his tra gedy of Sylla. " The Romance of Life," a true story on which some of the principal incidents in "Monk Christi," are said to be based, " The Militia and the Line," a paper containing useful suggestions, and a review of " The Life and Sketches of Sheil," are the best of the remaining contributions. The Westminster Review.—A. characteristic no tice of Spinoza and his Opinions is followed by a high-toned article on " International Immorality," in which a heavy onslaught is made on our foreign policy of late years, and the immoral exnecliency of our statesmen. Of secresy it is well said that " Secret government is certain to be misgovern ment, and secret diplomacy to abound with crooked ness. " Teetotalism "is su bj ec t e d t o a mas terly analysis, and most of its teachings shown to be er roneous and absurd in a lengthy article, well wortuy, however, of perusal. Abstinence from intoxicating liquors may, in certain circumstances, be a duty, but misrepresentation and false teaching never are. " The Decline of Party Government" may be read with advantage by Administrative Re formers. It will serve to awaken them to the vast ness, but not hopelessness, of the task before them, and the best means of grappling with it. Besides the above there are other articles worthy of notice, including one on " The Foreign Policy °.f the United States," in which that policy is leniently dealt with. SHIP LAUNCHES.

Her length of keel is 165 feet ; length ov er all, 200 feet ; rake of stern, 9 feet ; breadth of beam, 30 feet ; and depth of hold, 19 feet. The christening ceremony l was performed by Miss Mal colm, of Liverpool. Both launches Poo . were successful, no accident having oc curred on either • occasion. The Royal Charter, a new screw steamer, of 2,785 tons, built for the new Australian Steam Navigation Co. (for whom Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co., are mana gers), was attempted to be launched yesterday, at Sandi croft, near Queen's Ferry, on the River Dee, but after receiving her name from Mrs. Samuel Bright, she glided from her stays, and as soon as her helm "reached the water's edge, she became immovably fixed, to the great chagrin and disappointment of thousands of spectators. The cause of the untoward event was the ground having given way under her starboard side, causing her to hang in her ways. This being the case the first high tide will probably set her afloat. The Royal Charter is 350 feet 1(417,, 411 feet beam, 26i feet deep, while her cabin is 100 feet in length. She is fitted to carry 56 first cabin and 590 second and third cabin passengers. Her engines are 350-horse power, and occupy the space of 350 tons. She has capacity for 5,500 gallons of water in a tank. The Coromine, intended for the East Indian trade, and owned by Messrs. Thos. Brocklebank and Co. o f Liver , pool, was safely launched at Whitehaven yeste rday. 90} 1 684 99. 9 98i I 241 i 1071 271 i 50 25 12t 20
