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 DI incidents, continuous surprises, novel and extraordinary effects. Magic and Mystery is an entirely new entertainment, pos sessing distinctive characteristics and peculiar phases of 'aumsement. It is not a monologue, for the audience them selves perform their parts with the principal actor, some of t hem 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 com pany ; a melodrama replete with startling positions 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 f ashionable 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 eon linuous repetition. He believes that no professor of his art las at any time or in any place been honoured with an aTount of sueoess so extensive, so decided, and so nnuoual. 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 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 l'esortiag to the conjuror's arts, in an illegitimate manner, the designing have succeeded in making dupes of fir. Credulous. The 937 letters on the subject of spirit-rapping, which Pri. fewer Anderson has received, from the time of opening the theatre up to the present date, bear witness to the great in terest taken on the subject of this singular delusion ; whilst Many of them bear melancholy evidence to the dangers which stteea a belief in the superstitious nonsense of the " Spiri tualists." Judging simply by the correspondence which has lesulted, Professor Anderson's expos 6 of spirit-rapping and his illustration of the so-called table phenomena, have pro 'l'leed a sensation unequalled by any previous attempt to es pose a mischievous and impudent juggle. It is impossible f or Professor Anderson to reply at length to a tithe of the Co mmunications which reach him on the subject. He regrets that many of these should come from ladies and gentlemen I°llo , from their position in society and their well-known in tellectual attainments, he would least have expected to have Teen converts to a belief so preposterohs in itself, and so easily susceptible of being controverted and disproved. Every evening, from the Lyceum stage, Mr. Anderson's opinions oe tPirit-rapping are expressed, and every evening, within the ' 4 3 l ceum, how tables can be made to rap is exhibited and elucidated. It is respectfully requested that thi kliblic exposition will be accepted generally as Professor Anderson's only mode of replying at full length to his Multitudinous correspondents. lie regrets that the names of the great and learned of the land should P ave been made to figure in the documents emanating f rom 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 "lca Telegraph. It purports to emanate from an American E .Pirit-rapper, Mr. D. D. Hume :—" Sir David Brewster 'rankly confesses that he is sorely puzzled' at what he has ! s itnessed, and Lord Brougham acknowledges himself to be , t horoughly nonplussed. Both of these noted men brought t he 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 time, and moved mate -1:1°1 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 Shove, 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 in Italy , is a remarkable medium for all the manifestations without apparatus. Barnum, who is well-known throughout the Anglo-Saxon world as a splendid humbug, offered him 2,000 dollar s per annum if he would perform at his museum in New ( Yorks Barnum then took it for granted that mediums could le bought. He was somewhat astonished when his offer was refused. Hume, on telling the fact in London lately, simply 2 nd honestly remarked, that the money would have been very acceptable to him, for he was poor, young (under DI), an or l'han, and in very had 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. Ile inquired into the subject; and now Barnum, one of the greatest humbugs in the world, and withal a conjuror, is !So 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 whore ; a l n ight be supposed to be sane. Even if Barnum does believe , spirit-rapping-- does spirit-rapping gain or lose b 3 this accession to its adherents ? and, with Barnum's endorse )211 ent to it, is this bill, drawn on public credulity, more likele ,10 be when he finds at educated clergymen of the Church o England have the temerity to subscribe their names to so gross I swindle, when he finds that the incumbent of Wortley (the gev. N. J. Godfrey) positively asserts his belief in it, and writes a book on the subject, he considers it to be time for h im to state that which he knows of the mechanism by which 1 t is effected, and the mischief to which it tends. In the r° rning Advertiser of October 3 appears a letter from Sir ee In company Brewster, relative to that which he saw at Co x ' s Hotel. com-an , p y w ith Lord Brougham. He distinctly states that which the Wizard of the North proclaims every night—that s pirit-rapping is nothing more than conjuring applied to bad tor Poses. In the Morning Advertiser of the following day , °waver there is an answer to Sir bavid's letter from one Who was present when he and Lord Brougham had their fiance with the spirits, in which thee writer says, that " the table (a large dinner-table, I believe) moved about in the most e xtraordinary 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 ant." 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 /Tubject of a new work, and that a "spiritual convention" 43 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 tug, the programme being continually changed.

Sebast)pol is destroyed—the Russian fleets have no existence—the Czar holds not one foot of the "material guarantees"—the Danube is no longer his—the Turks, who dreaded, have learnt to contemn the power of their great neighbour, and the arms of England and Franco have virtually solved the "Eastern question." It was far different last year. Now, we have only to set up the facts achieved as permanent, and as forming the bases of the principles which must for the future rule the destiny of the East Under these circumstances, the question of Peace comes before us ; and, on our part, it can be treated but in one manner. There is but one arrangement possible ; and that is one which shall insure the limitation of Russian ambition, the freedom of Turkey, and the future security of Europe. The most necessary condition for the attainment of these ends is the annihilation of Russian power in the Black Sea. Sebastopol must never rise again as a me nace to the Turks —nor must any Russian fleet what ever be allowed to exist in the waters of the Black Sea. ' This is imperative, and secures the safety of Constanti nople and the freedom of the shores of the Euxine. But, if the approach by sea towards the Turk be thus sealed against Russia, the approach by land must be equally made safe from her aggression. The mouths of the Danube must be given up by her, and they, with the Danubian Prir cipalities, freed from her protectorate, must be secured to Turkey by the most binding guaran otefes. the rAollrtperemteunsst be ionan f d ul i ly nte r r e f n e o re u n n ee ced 7ith an t d he ot s h u e b r jets • ar rangements with regard to the Baltic theßanodseiaon terms general interests of Europe must be accepted by which can leave no doubt as to the certain solidity and efficacy of the peace which may be brought about. These, the outlines of the only terms of Peace which , would achieve our objects, are the only propositions which the Western Powers would be justified in listen ing to—certain as they are that, if not consented to now, another campaign would enforce compliance. If the move which Austria is making towards nego- . tiations hive for object the attainment of terms so satis factory as these, and if she be ready, as Sweden and Den mark are, to give her verdict in our favour, and, when need arises, to enforce that verdict—then are the Western Powers bound to give heed to overtures which carry on their face no uncertain semblance—no diplomatic chi canery, but which are open, distinct, and honest. [PRICE 4D. STAMPED SD• spirit of the Public Journals. ( From the Times of this day.) The Antigone of Sophocles was acted a few years back in London. The original Greek was rendered respect. ably enough into English ; the costumes were copied from the most trustworthy authorities ; the space usually devoted to the orchestra and a portion of the pit had been assigned for the evolutions of the chorus ; the acting was above mediocrity, and yet the representation was a signal failure. The reason was obvious enough. There was not a single fibre, a single nerve, i❑ the holies or minds of any one of the spectators which vibrated, not to say in unison, but in harmony with the emotions of an ancient Greek. Our old friend Cardinal Wiseman is at the present moment following in the footsteps of the enterprising manager. His repertoire does not, indeed, comprise Prometheus, or the Theban Chiefs, (Edipus or Jocasta, Medea or lon. He is a manager of the romantic, not of the classical school. His Jupiter Scapin thunders from the Vatican. He drapes himself with the terrors of an Innocent or a Julius, and calls upon us to bow down before pontifical shadows which have been long since dismissed from the category of English belief. We are not living in the reign of Henry Vll.,—of his son we speak not, for Cardinal Wiseman was then out of date --but of Queen Victoria. As for as England is con cerned, it would be as rational to get up an agitation for the Druids, and to propose the combustion of Dr. Cum ming and Mr. Spooner in wicker images constructed for the purpose, as to denounce us for not bowing the knee to Rome. We spoke just now of Cardinal Wiseman as of a. theatrical manager who had mistaken his line of re presentation ; he is still more like a masquerader caught on his return home by the telltale sun. The pastoral crook, the flowing robes, the false beard, the highly. rouged cheek, did all very well by gaslight, when the assistants had agreed to a compromise between the pre sent and the past ; but at five o'clock in the morning, beneath the piazza of Covent-garden, when the ruddy market-gardeners of A.D. 1855 tare tossing about happy realities in the shape of sound-hearted cabbages—whens the wail-flowers smell sweet in the baskets of the flower-girls when 4ae sweets resouuo arse bus cries of the ealey venders of milk which is meant to be drunk, and of actual sweeps who purpose sweeping actual chimneys which are foul with bona fide soot—the false Cardinal, the mummer, the mas querader, slinks along litre a vulgar ghost. What have real men, in whose veins life is bubbling and dancing, to do with shadows such as these ? But what if this mummer should call upon us to desist from our usual and wholesome occupations, while he convinced us that the world ought to go back four centuries, that the present was the past, and that our only course was to bow our necks to chains which our wiser ancestors rent asunder, and cast behind them, in their own names and in the name of their posterity, for ever ? Such was Cardinal Wiseraan's position when, on the night of Sun day last, from the pulpit of the Roman Catholic Church of St. Mary's, Moorfields, he addressed his audience in favour of the Austrian Concordat. His vindication of this notable measure was, of course, but another word for abuse of England and things English, and, above all, of " that tide, that] torrent of Anti-Catholic feeling which seemed to be spreading like a deluge over this land." The excitement, according to the Cardinal, arises simply from a misunderstanding as to the nature of the case. It Las been made ono of public interest, whereas it is in reality " a domestic affair of Catholics" —a kind of little family arrangement, with which strangers have no concern. Had there been two consecutive sentences of reason ing or argument in Cardinal Wiseman's address, we c mld have met them by corresponding and, we venture to think, by superior, arguinente. Two-thirds of the address, however, consist of a pompons announcement "that he is going to begin," and when his Eminence has, begun, c f course he will make mincemeat of his antagonist , . We read on, not without great expecta tion ; but the worthy Cardinal is like one of Homer's gods—he possesses the art of disappearing from the scene and vanishing into empty air at the critical mo ment. After more than one perusal, we pledge our selves to the statement that the single argument con tained in it is this .—The Concordat between Austria and Rome is a wise and politic measure, calculated to promote the interests of Christian Europe in general, and of the Austrian dominions in particular, and it was agreed upon after long consultation, between the Mr peror and the Pope. There has been great agitation against it in this country, which was necessarily without foundation, because we objected to it at once. " Though two years were spent in drawing it up and perfecting it," said the Cardinal, " it was not two hours in the hands of a newspaper editor be fore he, to whom the subject was altogether new, with a dashing and a flowing pen, wrote an indignant article, blowing the whole thing to pieces." The Concordat was, no doubt, a new thing—new to unhappy Austria, new t France ! The ancient Monarchs of those countries had spent their best energies in struggling against the monstrous provisions which it contains. We and our forefathers in England have been acquainted with them from the times of Thomas A'Beckett to our own ; and some three centuries back they decided that no foreign priest should tithe or toll in England—that no English subject should withhold his allegiance from his native Prince to bestow it upon an Italian bishop. Although, God be thanked, we have little knowledge here of an Inquisition such as that which is established in the Austrian Con' seelat, we know very well that precisely three centuries ago, under precisely a similar jurisdiction, martyrs were burnt at a distance of ten minutes' walk from the spot on which these lines are written. If we would know what the censorship of books may accomplish in extinguishing the light of the human ilitellect we need only turn to Spain, to Italy— above all to Ron e. There is net, in point of fact, a angle provision in the Concordat which has not actively engaged the attention of Europe for many centuries past. It needs no long cogitations to arrive at the con clusion that the young bigot to those unworthy hands the temporary destiny of so many provinces has been intrusted has sold his people body and soul to a tyranny against which his predecessors, bigoted as many of them were, had resisted to the death. Not only in foreign countries, but in the Austrian provinces, far more than in foreign countries, the ex citement against this juggle of Pope and Emperor is intense. In Bohemia, so famous fur its religious strug gles when the rest of Europe lay prostrate before the Roman Pontiff, the voice of free discussion has never been silenced, the brilliant light of reason never quenched. In the hereditary Duchies all respect is lost for the tenants of those luxurious masteries which are scattered along the course of the Danube. Tee country folk tell you strange stories of the doings of these holy men. In contact on all sides, save on the east, with civilisa tion and thought, is that fair portion of Europe which is known ss he Au-trian dominions to be reduced to the canilition in which Spain has many centuries been held ? What ? E trope not know the consequences of the provisions contained in this Concordat ! In the Spanish Peninsula we see the result before our eyes. The reader will not regret to see the words in which the eloquent historian Prescott, in his recent " Life of Philip II.," describes the event of such a policy : " Spain might now boast that the stain of heresy no longer defiled the hem of her garment. But at what a prise was this purchased ! Not merely by the sacrifice of the lives and fortunes of a few thousands of the exist ing generation, but by the disastrous consequences en tailed for ever on the country. Folded under the dark wing of the Inquisition, Si a'n was shut out iron Vie light which in the 16th century broke over the rest of Europe, stimulating the nations to greater enterprise in every department of knowledge. The genius of the people was rebuked and their spirit quenched under the malignant influence of an eye that never slumbered, of an unseen arm ever raised to strike. How could there be freedom of thought where there was no freedom of utterance, or freedom of utterance where it was as dangerous to say too little as too much ? Freedom can not go along with fear. Every way the mind of the Spaniard was in fetters !" ( Front the Scotsman-) iii. m;.11, has ;. bia *urn taken his say ripen the war question, or the peace question, or by whatever name we ought to know the question of the day. And what Mr. Miall may say is entitled to attention—we shall not flatter him by saying because he is a man of the highest intellect or the soundest judgment, but because, without any flattering, he is " honest as this world goes" at this particular time, and because his position is peculiarly fitted to put his honesty to the most painful tests. By old political fellowship and other ties he is deeply involved with the loaders of the Manchester carry, !Ind he represents the borough where Mr. Bright's well-won influence, political and commercial, has the greatest potency ; while, pulling him in the other direction, he has his own good sense and right in stin'ts, and the knowledge that even in Roch , la,!e the popular antagonism to the course taken by Mr. Bright sod his party is too strong to permit him prudently t o express concurre n ce or even to avoid expressing dissent. It is, tierefore, not to be wondered at that Mr. Miall, whose forte is not dexterity, should, in trying to tack about in order to catch two opposing winds, have shown some very clumsy steering, and scarcely escaped ship- wreck. That the war might have been avoided ; that, having been begun, it should have been carried on with vigour, end for avowed objects far beyond those aimed at ; and that the time has now come when peace can and ought to be made—are the turning-points in the maze in which Mr. Miall tries to lose himself. A war that should never have been begun, that should have been carried further than was ever intended, and that should be Mopped before it has been carried even so far—are propositions ralher difficult to understand, and when clothed in Mr. Miali's expositions, appear more shrouded in mystery than when they were left in their primitive nakedness. On the first, however, he is tolerably clear --" I did not concur in the policy which committed us to a war with Russia"—that is, he did not think that the pre'ervation of Tui key, or any similar resistance to Rus sian aggression, was an object incumbent on this country. That is too stale a question to be re-argued now ; but the reason given by Mr. Miall for vigorously pursuing a w: r which he thinks ou g ht never t o h ave b een e ntered i on, s noticeable for its originality—"l may have thought it unnecessary for the safety of Europe, and for the in• depeeelenee and liberty of continental nations, to measure physical strength with Russia, but I never could regard it as a matter of trivial moment whether, in that measure ment of strength, Russia should make good her boast of supremacy." While he thought that we had no right, or at least no interest, in interfering with even the most unprovoked and gigantic aggressions of Rus sia, he thinks that, having begun fighting on that very point, we were bound to go on fighting until we hal preyed to the world that we are the stronger. When Lard John Russell, in his ill-phrased speech last session upon his proceedings at Vienna, uttered a warning against " fighting only for victory," the in sinuation was resented as untrue and insulting. But now we see that fighting for victory only is a policy advocated by at least one man who must be regarded as almost a memb:r of the Peace party, and who holds that the war is oluseless, and therefore, we should say, wicked. The chief interest, however, of Mr. Miall's speech, is com prise! in his reasons for holding that the war should now take end—the principal of which reasons is that we have shown ourselves stronger than Russia. Now, it pixy be that we have proved this to ourselves, and yet not to Europe, nor even to Russia. Mr. Miall says he knew before the war as well as since that the Russian strength was a delusion, and now he s a ys—" I venture to assert, without fear of contradiction, that the power of Russia for al offensive purposes, at least for another genera tion, has been broken." But unfortunately it is not merely sensible people like Mr. Miall that require to be convinced on these points, but others who have much more power abroad and at home. The question or rather the fact is, that, on the whole, the operations of the war have not increased the idea of the strength of the Western Powers, and especially of Great Briteite We think the existing impression of our having to a great extent fiiled is a false impres sion, but it is not the less actual and mischievous. We believe that a to +ter army never left the British shores than that which landed at Eupatoria, and we did eometl,ing the other day towards showing that none of our armies ever did greater things within so short a pried, not to say in the face of such great and novel difficulties ; yet the fact is, that at home there is a pretty general feeling of dissatisfaction, and abroad of something rt:eembling contempt. Why is this ? Be cause, in the first place, an influential portion of the press has found pleasure or profit in makieg the worst of everything that has happened— of contemning every commander. cause, in the second place, Mr. Miall's party friends, Mr. Cobden and Mr. Bright, take every opportunity of tell'n; the world that this country i-i ex hausted ard Russia uz,liarme I. And because, in the third place, men like Mr. Al i All bin self, ae he does in this very speech, do all they can b bring distrust and discredit upon every Government that has been seen or is at present possible in this country. Mr. Miall tells his democratic Rochdale audience that the Govern ment is a machine kept up for the personal benefit of the aristocracy—although it would puzzle Mr. Miall to name a single unaristeeratic man fit to join the Government that is kept out of it by anything but his own unwillingness. A still more incredible story is ventured on by Mr. /Mall when he states that it is what he calls the o f upper ten thousand . ' w h o are me l t eag e r in favour the e and war--who "call upon you to pour out yourftlitehne cur." your blood like water for the prolong a lti° th n e o community Now, surely, if there is any whose earnestness about the war is smalltshousand" whom Mr. pieion, it is just that "upper ten or open to sus it for their own selfish , a w dd e re fe s e s l es i a n s . end: ; and if there is any class that must be regarded as especially enthusiastic and re r.

All such stuff is of goes tti further than in ou A r the facts, but it is considerably mischievous abroad, where people think that every man who, like Mr. Cob denlittle mischief at . home, or Mr. Bright, was influential on • is one question, influential on all, and even that every man who is, like Mr. Miall, a member of Parliament, is a representative of the people. And ought not persons like Mr. /distil, who avow that they regard the struggle as one solely for inflinence, preetige, or victory, to be careful above all men not to lessen by an idle breath anything that may have been won at the cost of blood and terse ? In addition to the supposition, which ho himself so much e )ntributes to destroy, that we have done enough to confirm our reputation and influence, Mr. Miall has a supplementary reason—we have taken a sufficient "material guarantee" for the safety of Turkey. Now there is some truth in this, if—an "if " with great vir tuo—Rusaia is ready to bind herself to let things remain as they are—to keep her Euxine fleet at the bottom of the sea, and her cherished Sebastopol in ruins. If Rus sia is ready to say that, then doubtless the allies thatare ready to hear her ; but Mr. Miall seems to mest her the allies should now retir e an d let Russia r ep a ir Sere re are damages at her own leis ure an d convenience t ._ "The his own words, which are incapable of cari caure up fact was, the man was down, and could net get get again, while the allies stood overhti:i., That was the ' is taken from guarantee."

The INVESTED FUND or CAPITAL arising from the accumu• lation of Premiums, and which belongs exclu3iyely to the Assured, now amounts to upwards of TWO MILLIONS EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS rented to the King by Sir Charles Wood, on the intro duction of Captain Dacres, and delivered an address. His Majesty, having through his Minister made a gra cious reply, proceeded on board the gunnery-ship Ex cellent, commanded by Sir Thomas Maitland, and was for some time engaged in witnessing the practice with shot and shell, as well as broadside firing. Shortly after 4 o'clock the Royal party returned to Clarence Victual ling-yard, which they reached in perfect safety. This visit to Portsmouth was so far not of a formal character that the order in which the different objects inspected were taken had not been pre-arranged, nor does it even appear to have been known beforehand what would be visited or left unseen. The result was considerable perplexity to the authorities, especially those of the military hospital, and of Haslar, who had made every preparation for the reception of his Majesty, even to having the streets lined with troops and guards of honour turned out, so as not to be taken unawares. The military bands, also stationed at different points, were much puzzled by the liberties taken with what they conceived ought to be the arrangements, and more than once struck up the National Anthem to Royal carriages with their blinds up. Similar mistakes must surely have occurred in the saluting from the bat teries and ships in harbour, an amount of gunpowder being fired off in that way quite enough to have satisfied the Grand Sultan. It is worthy of record that the Royal train on this oc casion was propelled by an engine which burns coal in stead of coke, consuming a less quantity of the former than other locomotives require of the latter, and keeping up an abundant supply of steam. The inventor is Mr, Beattie, engineer of the South-Western Railway, and appears to answer admirably. (From the Court Circular.) WINDSOR, DEC. 3.

THE COVENT-GARDEN PANTOMIME.-IVe aro informed that the olden fame of Covent-Garden Theatre for panto mimic display is likely to be resuscitated this Christmas by the efforts now making by Mr. Anderson for the pro duction of his magic pantomime. The peculiar resources of the house, as regards extent of stage, perfection of machinery, costly wardrobes, and expensive properties, are all to be brought to bear on the new entertainment. The stirring events 'of the day are to be touched upon in scenes and tableaux, which, if we are rightly informed, will be of a very costly and gorgeous character. On Tuesday, Dec. 11, Mr. Anderson accomplishes the 100th night of his per.".ances at the Lyceaum, and has pro mised ae ntraordinary entertainment for the occasion. THE KING OF SARDINIA. Yesterday his Majesty, accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Albert and his Royal Highnes the Duke of Cambridge, paid a visit to Portsmouth Dock yard and the fleet at Spithead, travelling from Wndsor by the Great Western Railway branch to Basingstoke, and thence c. the South-Western Railway to Gespork. They reached the Clarence Victualling-yard at 11 otllock, and there paused for a short time in order to inspect the Marine battalion, just landed from the Jura, which came into harbour with them from the Crimea a fei days ago. The men had made no change in their dress and were just as they had been put on board the transport— their beards untouched, their uniforms threadbare, and their water-bottles slung round their shoulders, as if they had come fresh from the trenches. The 'loyal party, in passing up and down the ranks of these war worn fellows, manifested a lively interest in them. At the close of their inspection they embarked on board the Fairy, which steamed rapidly cut of harbour straight for the fleet. It consisted of the following men-of- war : Exmouth, 91, Captain W. K. Hall, C.B. Calcutta, 84, Captain J. J. Stopford. ColoFsus, 80, Captain Robinson. Blenheim, 60, Captain Hall, C.B. Hawke, 60, Captain Ommanney. Russell, 60, Captain Francis Scott. Ajax, 60, Captain Warden, C.B. Harting,, 60, Captain E. G. Fanshawe. Edinburgh, 50, Captain Hew lett,~C.B. Arrogant, 46, Captain Yelverton, C.B. Meander, 44, Captain Baillie. Sampson, 6, steam-frigate, Captain Hand. Polyphetnus, 6, Commander !Marren. , Coininanders4pliq SafAmaiderTtr,'Caltinian - er fir -1. , 'Vrg,u6, otowiu twep.hir, Commander Philltr- tipa. The fleet was moored in two lines N.W. W., one cable's length apart ; the small vessels forming the port line, and the ime-of-battle ships and Arrogant forming he northern or starboard line. The course taken by the Royal Yacht was, first, ahead of the weather line, then close astern of the weathermost ship, and then astern of the leewardmost and round the spit into harbour. as she approached a Royal salute was fired, and the crews manned yards and cheered. We have all been so accus tomed for the last two years to witness these ceremonial observances at Spithead that it would be out of place here to dilate upon the effect produced by theca ; bat the spectacle of so many of England'e floating castles, alive with sailors, and startling the Solent with their salvoes of artillery, must have powerfully impressed King Victor Emmanuel, who probably never in his life before witnessed such a naval display. The Royal party did not go on board the men-of-war, nor were any evo• lutions performed ; but on their leaving another salute was fired by the fleet, and it was taken up by the Vic tory and other ships in harbour as the Fairy passed Blockhouse Fort on her way back. In making the harbour his Majesty was steered in the Royal barge by Captain Denman to the time- honoured old Victory, on board of which he was received by Captain G. Gordon and Commander Strode. They conduced his Majesty to the quarter-deck, and showed him the spot where Nelson fell. Ho then descended to the cockpit and viewed the cabin where our great naval hero died. The attention of the King was next directed to some experiments made off the dockyard with Clarkson's new cork life-boat, which was launched bodily off the dock- yard jetty with a full crew, but righted at once. On hnding in the dockyard hia Majesty proceeded first to view the celebrated block machinery in the wood-mills. This machinery is still made so much of when distin• guished foreigners visit Portsmouth that considerable danger arises lest its true value, on the one hand, be mis apprehended by the uninformed, and, on the other, ex pose us to ridicule among intelligent visitors from abroad When Sir S. Bentham, Maudsley, Bramah, and Brunel were first struggling with the difficulties which such a series of inventions imposed, and had mastered them, the block machinery ropresented a great step in mechanics, and might fairly be regarded with astonishment ; but we are separated from that day by an immense interval 0 progress. The block machinery was the first successful effort in that wide field of ingenuity which has given the mechanic such extraordinary control not only over wood but over iron, and even stone, and which is every hour extending and yielding more valuable results to human industry. Men, therefore, look back to it as they would to the first marine engine or the first locomotive, they regard it with a deep antiquarian interest. In this point of view we may be proud of showing it to foreign visitors however illustrious. But there the feeling of satisfac tion ends. The mercantile marine are supplied with far better blocks at a vastly cheaper rate, and any private manufacturer attempting to supply the market with this boasted machinery would very soon find him- self in the Gazette. The block machinery did good ser vice in its time, but its usefulness belongs to the past. It is now a positive loss to the country, yet the authorities never tire of pluming themselves upon it, and of setting it forward as their irresistible prece dent whenever they want to set up as manufacturers on their own account. From the wood-mills Prince Albert and the Duke of Cambridge conducted their Royal guest through the smithery and the steam factory, but, as compared with what he saw on Saturday at Wool wich Arsenal, and with what he might witness in 41,,zati of private establishments throughout the country, there is nothing in these places. spacious and imposing as they appear, that can be considered in the least degree sur prising. It sounds very marvellous that a Nasmyth hammer, which forged a capstan spindle weighing four tons and a-half, also cracked a nut without breaking the inverted earthenware plate on which it re.tcd ; but this has long since ceased to be a novelty, and far better and more powerful steam-hammers are now in use than any at Portsmouth Dockyard. So with many of the other machines, they being for the most part of a very old fashioned character. The steam factory is not a steam factory at all, but a shop for boiler making and for re pairs, the Admiralty very properly considering that it would be folly in them to attempt to make their own marine engines when they can get them so much cheaper and better, and in so much greater numbers, when wanted from the private trade. When they did attempt to make their own engines they were always breaking down. Now that they get them from the machinists and encourage competition in quality instead of price, it is very unusual to hear of anything going wrong. Here, then, is the recognition of most im portant principle with regard to Government establish ments of this description, which we hope to see gradually extended. It at least palliates, if it does not justify the antiquated character of the mechanical appli ances which King Victor Emmanuel was yesterday taken to wonder at, for, if they are not what they ought to be, we are comforted by the knowledge that private enter prise will do the work assigned to them far more effec• Wally and advantageously for the country. Were it otherwise it would be necessary to press upon the atten tion of the Admiralty the salutary example of the cotton lords in the north, who always fix a term within which they conceive it necessary to provide for the substitution of their old machinery by new, embracing all the most recent improvements. The royal party did not venture into the sail-loft, a department of the dockyard where an immense amount of labour is most wastefully employed in doing what our American cousins would at once call in the aid of sewing machines to accomplish cheaply, expeditiously, and well. From the steam -factory the Prince took his Majesty on board a 91-gun ship hitherto galled the Repulse, but which is henceforth to bear the name of Victor Em manuel. The King had completed his inspection of the ship, and was about quitting her, when Prince Albert announced to him the change contemplated, and he seemed highly gratified by the compliment. She i s a noble vessel, and will, no doubt, make her new title re spected by the enemies of England and Sardi n i a i n what ever sea she floats. His Majesty also visited the Marl borough, 131, and appeared much struck by the sweep of her maindeck, which was cleared of the suite on one side in order that he might see its extent. This concluded the royal survey of the dockyard, and the illustrious par t y p roceeded to Sir Thos. Cochr ane's house, where luncheo n had been p re p ared f or them.

The funeral of the late Mr. Alderman Lawrence took place on Saturday, at Kensal-green Cemetery. Among the numerous friends of the deceased were Aldermen Sir James Duke, Bart., M.P., Hunter, and Wire, and Wm. Williams, Esq., M.P., with the Common Council of the ward. Upwards of 200 of the artificers employed in the various branches of their late master's establishment, attired in mourning, preceded the hearse at their own earnest solicitation. The deep concern they evinced during the progress of the solemn ceremony to its final close was the subject of universal remark and observa tion. TUE BURNOPFIELD MURDER.—EarIy on Saturday morning two mon were apprehended by the Durham county police, on suspicion of the dreadful murder of Mr. Robert Stirling, surgeon, by shooting him on the Ist of November, in Swailes-lane, near Gitside. Their names are Richard Rayne, of Winlaton, smith ; and William Gladders, of Barlow, near Gibside, joiner. A special meeting of the county magistrates was held at the Court house, Gateshead, when the men were brought up, but the examination was strictly private. The men were remanded till this day, to which :time the inquest -- was adjourned.
