Our readers will probably recollect that about three weeks ago Mr. Sergeant Wilkins applied for, in this court, and obtained, a writ of habeas corpus, directed to Mr. Pindar, the keeper of a private lunatic asylum called "The Retree," in Lancashire, commanding him to bring up the body of William Greenwood, who, it was alleged upon the affidavits of thirty individuals, had been improperly confined in this asylum, he being of perfectly sound mind. In about ten days after the issue of the writ Mr. Greenwood was brought up to London, and the case having again come before his lordship ho decided that some further delay in its consideration should take place, in orler that he might have the ad vantage of the testimony of medical men of eminence with respect to the sanity of Mr. Greenwood, before he arrived at any conclusion in the matter. That testimony having been procured, Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Overend appeared on Saturday to move f,r the discharge of the alleged lunatic frein custody, upon the ground that the medical certifi cates upon which he had originally been placed in con finement were informal, inasmuch as the pla!es of refi dence of the certifying surgeons were not accurately defined therein, as provided by act of Parliament ; also upon the ground that Mr. Greenwood was of sound mind, and that further restraint would prove injurious to his health. Mr. Monck, in the absence of Sir F. Thesiger, contended upon the part of those relatives of Mr. Greenwood, at whose instance he was placed in con finement, that the mere omission of the numbers of the houses in which the certifying surgeons happened to live did not necessarily render their certificate in , formal. That portion of the statute of the 16th and 17th of Victoria which provided for the insertion of such number was simply directory, and a non-compliance with it did not make the document absolutely invalid. The learned gentleman also real the affidavits of two medical men, Mr. M'Cann and Dr. Sutherland, who saw Mr. Greenwood several times within the last fortnight, and who gave it as their opinion that ho was insane. Dr. Sutherland, in his affidavit, stated that in reply to a question which had been put to him, Mr. Greenwood said that this was the year 1848 ; that he had subse quently said it was the year 1312 ; that in answer to other questions how many shillings were in 51., his reply was "five shillings;" that be believed himself to have been three or four months residing at St. John's-wood, whereas the fact was that lie had been there only a few days ; and that the result of the several interviews which he (Dr. Sutherland) had with Mr. Greenwood was the 1 opinion that that gentleman was of unsound mind. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins the❑ read the affidavits of Sir 1. Morrison and Dr. Forbes Winslow, who stated that they had visited Mr. Greenwood on several occasions within the last fortnight, and who gave it as their opinion that although the gentleman's mind was an doubtedly enfeebled, his memory impaired, and his notions of matters relating to his property somewhat confused, yet that these infirmities did no amount to insanity. They also added that he appeared to feel justly and affectionately towards the various members of his family, aad that the delusion which was said to have led him to suppose that his brother Robert intended to poison him should be considered in connection with the fact that he was at the time labouring under a morbid derangement of the stomach, accompanied by severe gastric irritability. The state of health continued up to the present time, but it was their opinion that change of air and freedom from restraint would tend materially to invigorate his constitution and to restore the tone of his mind, while they maintained that the infirmities to which they had referred were not of such a nature as to justify them in certifying that Mr. Greenwood should be kept any longer in confinement as a lunatic. Mr. Overend held that in law Mr. Greenwood was entitled to obtain a discharge from custody, inasmuch as the provisions of the statutes with respect to lunatics had not been complied within the case of the certificate upon which he had in the first instance been places in confinement. Mr. Monek maintained that the omission complained of in the present case was of a nature so unimportant as to constitute no substantial violation of the spirit of the statutes in question. Mr. Justice Coleridge said he should wish to consider the legal point which had been raised, and should, therefore, postpone his decision until Monday. To-day his lordship held that the certificate was in [(viral, and that Air. Greenwlod must, therefor, be dischargyd. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCII. (Sittings at Guildhall.—Before Lord Campbell en I a Special Jury.) CETM. CON.-HOVID V. AGUADO. This extraordinary case of crim. con , which had been adjourned from last term owing to the then indisposition of some of the learned counsel engaged in it, was taken the first thing this morning. Sir F. Thesiger, Mr. Bovill, and Mr. Phipson were for the plaintiff; and the Attorney-General, Mr. Sor geant Wilkins, and Mr. Wise were for the defendant. The proceedings were resumed by the evidence of the two French chambermaids, taken upon the two first days' of the trial, being read over to the jury, Mrs. Ann Routh, formerly Ann Murray, was the first witness called. Sho deposed that she lived as nursery maid in the family of the plaintiff and his wife in the years 1846, 1847, and 1848. 111 the summer of 1846 witness accompanied Mrs. Hope to Havre, and after staying there some time they returned to Mr. Hope's residence in Paris, on the Quai d'Orsay. On their re turn I was in the habit of locking Mrs. Hope in her bed-room, after she retired to rest. I did that at Mrs. Hope's own request, ,Mrs. Hope being at that time without a maid. One morning I remember lire. Hope calling Mr. Hope into her bed-room, and asking him to go out and take a walk with the children. I remained in my room next but one to Mrs. Hope's. I after that saw Count Aguado come past and go into Mrs. Hope's bedroom. She was in bed when I came out of her room, which was very shortly before. I then went down to my dinner, and was there about an hour. When I came back the Count was gone. I recollect Mr. Hope going away to Holland in 1848 from Mrs. Kitchener's lodgings at Folkestone, Just before Mr. Hope's return a piano which had been in the sitting-room was placed in the kitchen. During Mr. Hope's absence the Count was a constant visitor upon Mrs. Hope, and used to come about 10 in the morning, and frequently staid until ten, eleven, and sometimes past midnight. Mrs. Hope was away some time during Mr. Hope's ab sence, and said that she was going to London. When sbe came home I was asleep, and did net hear the bell, and same gravel was thrown up at the window, and Mrs. Kitchener let Mr. Hope in. Some time after Mrs. Hope went to Holland to join the rest of her family. She remained some time, and I came back with Mrs. Hope to Dover, and as we were:coming from Dover to Folke stone by rail I saw the Count and Mr. Derail, Mrs. Hope's medical man, in another railway carriage, going towards Dover. I told her of it, and as soon as we got to Folkestone Mrs. Hope ordered a carriage and was driven back to Dover. She came home in the evening, and the next day Mrs. Hope took lodgings at Folkestone, at a Mr. Brown's. I used to be Sent out a great deal withthechildren. The Count was staying at Folkestone. He has been there. I heard the Count talking in the dining-room. When we went to Deep Deane upon a visit Mrs. Hope gave orders te have a bed separate from Mr. Hope's, and said she did not let him sleep with her. Upon one occasion, when in Paris, Mrs. Hope would not let hint into her bed-room. Th at was about eight o'clock in the mo rn i ng . H e had tried her door an found it locked. Cross.exaranted by the Attorney-General —I do lot know that Mr. and Mrs. Hope had any quarrels about money matters. After coming from Havre, in 1846, she went to a convent for one day. It was the convent of St. Augustin. I did not know that it was in. conse quence of a quarrel they had. Did net know that Mrs. Hope acted upon the advice of her medical adviser in not sleeping with Mr. Hope. I heard her say she would not let him sleep with her. I kept the key of her room, and be did not know that I bad it. I was intro duced into the service of Mrs. Hepe by Mrs. Ripshar. Mr. Young first spoke to me about this matter. He was a friend. Ido not know that he was a particularly kind friend to me—he was a friend of my father's. He asked me if I had seen anything im proper between Mrs. Hope and the Count. Re-examined by Sir F. Thesiger—At the time I was in the service of the plaintiff and his wife they had separate rooms, but upon the same floor. When Mrs. Hope went to the convent she came borneagain the same night and slept in her o‘‘n house. Had seen the Count come out of Mrs. Hope's bed-room, at Havre ; that was at the time she was in the family-way. She used to re ceive visits in her room. I first mentioned this matter to one of the servants of Mrs. Hope's family, but did not give any evidence in this matter until 1 saw Mr. Few, the attorney in the action. My husband is a smith, and in the e mployment of Mr. Cubitt, and has been so for many years. Matilda Francis Ansdell—l was lady's maid to Mn'. Hope, and went into her service in 1848, and left in 18479. I kept ithe key of Mrs. Hope's bed-room. Mr. Hope did not cohabit with her. They never slept toge ther whilst I was with her. She used to say that she would not allow him. Cross-examined by the Attorney-General—l wont to Mrs. Hope. When they were at Deep Deane Mrs. Hope did not tell me that she refused to allow Mr. Hope to sleep with her, in consequence of what her medical'attendant had said to her. The Registrar of parties embarking and disembarking at Boulogne was then called, and was under examination when we went toprese. MODEL OF SEBASTOPOL. Among the " lions" of the metropolis, the " Great Globe," in Leicester-square, must ever hold a high position, not only because of its unique ness and other attractions as an exhibition, but also because of its practical utility as a means of instruction in geographical science. Maps and globes, undoubtedly, are to be had in abundance, at a cost, too, which places them within the reach of one half of the population, and comparatively accurate, as many of them are, much useful infor mation may be derived from them ; but it is at the Great Globe alone, constructed as it is on an extra ordinary scale of magnitude, that a full appreci ation of the relative positions; the extent, impor tance, aspect, and peculiarities of every country in the world can be obtained, and that almost at a glance. It is not surprising, therefore, that the spirited proprietor, Mr. Wyld, should enjoy a large share of public patronage and support, more especially when his constant efforts to enhance the value of the exhibition are taken into account. With what judgment these are carried - on, a visit to the Great Globe at the present time will suffi ciently demonstrate. As we all know the war in which this country, in conjunction with her gallant Allies, is engaged, very naturally absorbs in a large degree the attention of the public. For the satis faction of this general curiosity and interest, Mr. Wyld, it will be seen, has liberally and successfully catered. Any one desirous of information in rela tion to the war has only to present himself, shilling in hand, at the entrance of the buildingin Leicester square, at three o'clock in the afternoon, or half-past eight at night, to have his wishes gratified. Having ascended the staircase in the interior of the globe he will have the main particulars pointed out and explained by the lecturer,the Rev. Mr. Brastead, in a striking and lucid manner. A pretty accurate no tion will thus be acquired of the vast extent of the Russian territories, of the alleged scope and danger of Muscovite ambition—of the importance of Sebas topol to the furtherance of its aims, and of the value to us, as the possessors of India, and to Tur key of the heroic resistance of the gallant tribes of the Caucasus to Russian aggression. The lecture over the visitor will be conducted to the spacious room containing the model of Sebastopol, the large size of which will excite his admiration. The scale on which it is constructed is nine inches to the mile horizontally, 260 feet to the inch vertically, and including an area of 200 square miles. Au inspec tion of the interesting spectacle will, with the lec turer's assistance, enable him fully to appreciate the nature of the ground, the peculiarities of the fortified positions, and the unprecedented operations in which the Allied armies are engaged. To the north he will observe the high lands on which the fortifications of the northern side of the harbour are erected ; to the south the cliffs forming r h the n h h i e g r h .. the bay of Balaklava and the high range extend inglow lands of Cape Chersonese ; a nd in the centre n aya groundst ; o tto iaspine the g S w ft e r. t niG the etoh reg li ve i high et Yo cliffs tfh etdheeecalrsi river to the t the plateau occupied by the French and English armies, with their relative and divisional positions and respective approaches distinctly marked, to gether with the town, harbour, and fortifications explana mofenStebilaisttohieiolc. rini Th ea o i l s oc p u n s in il t i ed qu n o n o t f vtiiosuitsorgtioveanppbryectiha teeaenacdh engage of Balaklava and Inkerman. His curiosity lecturer,tl l peculiaritiessoa as to o f the enable tactionsthe satisfied as to geographical and scientific matters, he will perceive on looking round the room a variety of articles captured from the Russians at Bomarsund. Conspicuous among these is a beau tiful statuette of the Emperor Nicholas, said to be a good likeness, a rudely-finished lady's work-box, a clumsily-fashioned lanthorn, a censer, a crimson sacerdotal vest embroidered with gold lace, in cluding a cross at the back, several coarse military cloth and sheepskin coats, the latter shaggy and otherwise. Besides these he will notice a variety of Russian weapons, Mine and Enfield rifles, shot and shell (from Woolwich), and models of fortifica tions, gabions, sand-bags, and other matters em ployed in the siege ; together with the " War Gallery," or a large collection of the costumes of the armies of Europe, including portraits of Lord Raglan, aid other genera l s i n th e C r i mea . A n d here, if he is not unreasonable, our friend will desist for this visit from further inspection and will retire homeward, not only gratified with what he has heard and seen, but also determined to visit the Great Globe again, and bring others with him. UNCLAIMED DIVIDENDS AT THE BAIA OF ENGLAND. —On Saturday, a return to Parliament was published, from which it appears, that on the sth ult. the dividends due at the Bank and not demanded, amounted to 1,066,031/. 17s. lid., of which 913,2931. 2s. 3d. was advanced to the Government, leaving 152,7881. 15s. in the Bank. An important French railway Arrangement has just been announced, all the lines constituting the group of Normandy and Brittany having agreed to a fusion, under the title henceforth of 'the Western and North-Western Railways of France. The companies included in this measure are the Paris and Rouen, the Paris and St. Germain, the Rouen and Havre, the Paris and Cherbourg, and the Western. THE MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, Sunday.--The Solent, Royal Mail Company's steam-ship, Captain Jellicoe, with the mails for the Brazils and .River Plate, left this afternoon. She ought to have sailed on Friday, but in consequence of having returned from the West Indies only so recently as Tuesday last it was impossible to get her in readiness , . Since her return she has been docked, her bottom cleaned, and has also undergone such an overhaul as time would permit. There will be no home. ward mail this month, in consequence of there having been no outward one in December. This circumstance has been owing to the fact that almost every available steamer has been employed as transports. The Solent took out a goodly number of passengers, a large quan tity of specie, and general Menbandise, MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. Tho supplies of wheat on sale in the leading country - markets, on Saturday, were rather on the increase. Most - - kinds moved off slowly, yet no material change took place in the quotations. Barley was very dull and cheaper. All other articles met a slow inquiry. The Continental markets have been dull for wheat and Spring corn. Our latest advices from America state that flour was dull and drooping. Very limited supplies of English grain came to hand last week. The i m p or t s from abroad were on l y 5 , 5 97 quarters of whe a t, 135 oats, 1,450 beans, 406 peas, 20 tares, 314 linseed, 26 sundry seeds, and 191 sacks of flour. Fresh up to our market, this morning, the arrivals of English wheat, coastwise and by land carriage, were on a very limited scale. Notwithstanding that the show of samples of both red and white was small; the demand for all kinds—owing chiefly to the thin attendance of both town and country buyers---was in a very inactive state. In the quotations, however, no change took place from those obtained on Monday last. The show of fresh foreign wheat was trifling, but there was a fair sprinkling of granaried samples. Even the finest parcels were much neglected. Importers, however, were by no means ready sellers even at late rates. Low and middling qualities were very dull. In the general quota tions no change took place. Floating cargoes wero held at very full prices. The supply of both English and foreign barley was but moderate; nevertheless the trade was heavy, at last week's quotations. MALT.—The show of which was but moderate, and moved off slowly at late rates. The imports of oats having materially fallen off, the oat trade was firm, at fid. to is. per quarter above the prices current on this day se'nnight. We had a dell sale for beans, yet very little change took place in their ♦alue. Peas moved off slowly on former terms.

Scarcely any foreign stock was on sale to-day. Its quality was Tory inferior. The fresh arrivals of beasts from our own grazing dig tricts were very moderate ; but they came to hand in full average condition. Owing to the extreme severity of the weather, we had a slow trade for all breeds. In prices, however, we have no change to notice. The top figure for the best Scots was 4s 10,1 per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Camb r id ges h ire we received 2,200 Scots and short-horns; from other parts of England, 500 of various breeds ; from Scotland, per rail way, 250, and, by sea, 50, horned and polled Scots. Out of the latter number 21 were frozen to death on passage from Aberdeen. The; WAS a material falling off in the supply of sheep compared with some previous weeks. The quality of this description of stock, however, was prime. The mu tt on trade was decidedly firm, and, in some instances, the quo tations had an upward tendency, yet the top figure for old Downs did not exceed 5s per 81bs. Very few calves were in the market. The veal trade, however, ruled heavy, at a decline in the currencies of 2d per 81bs. The primest veal was worth 5s 10d per 81bs. In pigs, the supply of which was very moderate, very little was doing, at late rates. The arrivals of stock from Ireland last week by sea were 76 beasts and 24 pigs.

Lord Panmure has this day received a despatch and its enclosures, of which the following are copies, ad dressed to his Grace the Duke of Newcastle, by Field- Marshal the Lord Raglan, G.C.B. Before Sebastopol, Jan. 27, 1855. My Lord Duke, —I have the satisfaction to acquaint your grace that the weather continues fine. There are severe frosts at night ; but the elm shines brightly through the day, and there is an absence of wind, which, whilst it continued, added considerably to the sufferings of the troops. Every exertion is making by public transport, and in dividually, i❑ getting huts up ; but this is a most diffi cult operation, and the ground is still so rotten that it is a most arduous labour to pass along it. The extremely confined space of Balaklava, and vast accumulation of stores, has obliged me to erect huts at some distance outside the town for their reception. I inclose the lists of casualties to the 25th instant in clusive.—l have, &c., RAGLAN. His Grace the Duk© of Newcastle, &c., &c. Enclosure 1. RETURN OF CASUALTIES FROM 22D TO 25TH JAN., 1855.

As welcome to us as flowers iu May, or ices in August, or humming ale in December, are the two pink leaves put forth at stated intervals by the monthly rose of our old, trusty, and right pleasant friend Harry Lorrequer. There would really seem to be an inexhaustible fecundity in his imagination. For scarcely has the double number, xix. and xx., made its Siamese-like entree into the world of letters—bringing Mr. Lever's last new work to a merry conclusion (for they all end merrily by a sort of right prescriptive)—when the prospectus of some blithe successor is sure, within a very brief interval, indeed, to make its accustomed appear ance. It has been thus with) ur novelist from the commencement—from the commencement of bis career—as the most roystering and rollicking of the periodical contributors to light literature. Nay, we remember well enough, in illustration of his prolific capacity as a fictionist, how once upon a time one of the liveliest of his stories rose out of its ashes after the manner of that paragon of poultry, the phoenix—the chief portion of the tale in question having been consumed accidentally in MS., while the earlier instalments were in actual course of publication. Whereupon Mr. Lever needed only the aid for a couple of fortnights of his ready friend, and yet readier-writer, Mr. G. P. R. James, to fill up the gap o f a s i ng l e i ssue l ey some aptly-told tale of conflagration—while the real Simon Pure of the seri d reproduced chapter after chapter (out of the magical blending, we may presume, of fancy and of memory), the incidents which had been originally recounted by him in the ill fated manuscript, destroyed while its hierogly phics were being translated into the verna cular of legible typography. Ex uno disce fames, or rather—ex pede Ilerculem. The occurrence here reverted to is, we take it, suffi ciently significant of Mr. Lever's fruitfulness of in vention and energy of penmanship, being, as it is, ngst us one among the more notableeventsi in h progress since the period of his advent amongst literary ginning 3 through the pages p so sw e agreeably meanof editedthe under his own auspices, h gay and scholarly Dublin University Magazine. An advent, it may any b e timorous well remembered, o l/ wordsa - of nounced.Not by propitiation, but by the boister ous hi larity and 4, Harry Lorreque r ," a subaltern in a the devil-rue-care swagger of th a t unconscionable regiment. Ha r dl y h ad we recovered m arching g co f rom the laughter provoked, peal after peal, by the equicoques and contretemps, by the mingled blarney and badinage of that wild outburst of Irish animal spirits, than our risibility was yet further taxed by oar author with an unscrupulousness as glaring as might be exp ec t e d f rom the Comic Chance ll or of the Exchequer in the Realms of Nonsense, under the premiership of Rigdum Funnidos, and the sway of the burlesque sceptre of some high and mighty Crononhotonthologos. For forth came the second and what we cannot but still regard as incompar ably the best, the wittiest, the liveliest, the most genuinely and spontaneously humorous of all Charles Lover's effusions—to wit, his namesake "Charles O'Malley'," of th e famous 14th Light Di a greens. Afterwards appeared what promised to be a collective publication of story after story from the hand of our novelist —a work generically entitled " Our Mess," but ono which, notwithstanding all its early promise and intrinsic merit, ceased as pre maturely and proved to be altogether as much a failure as the yet more renowned omniant, gather of Harry Lorrequer's illustrious con temporary Boz viz., " Master HuraPhreY 8 , Clock." Precisely, howev er , as th e last-meutionell serial gave birth to the " Old Curiosity Shop" and to " Barnaby Badge," go also did Mr, l'eYer's magnum opus amuse the multitude -tot-1 with the twin fictions of "Jack Hintori,the CIo man," and "Tom Burke, off" Ours' " 2 --bi1ne..1.444 us acquainted with the Dub,o4rmenwho 'tossed up for their " fare" directly lAkset foot on the .1 shores of the emerald isle at I'rngst on , as l ater on ; with the whims and oddities of cross old Cornek,4 Delaney, or still better even with the fortunes of the steeplechase depending on the wilful temper of the high-nettled racer Moderideroo. Besides nu merous off-ventures in his literary career—such, for example, as the little national story about " St. Patrick's Eve" (written upon the model of the Christmas narratives rendered popular by Boz's immortal " Carol"), or such again, for instance, as the lengthier memorial of the haps and mishaps of queer, stout, old blundering "Arthur O'Leary"— our novelist has advanced steadily and untiringly with serial novel after novel, duly illustrated in monthly numbers by the equally inexhaustible Phiz—iioni de crayon of Hablot Knight Browne. Introit acing us atter this fashion now to "The O'Donogliue," now to the "Kni«ht of Gwvnne" and his pliant friend Daly, now to " Roland Cashel," now to " The Daltons," n ow to the "Dodd Family" at Home and Abroad, and now again, as we are just beginning to be so delightfully aware in instalment after instalment to the latest groups iu this numerous family of fictions, " The Martins of Oro' nirtin." It would be difficult, not to say injudicious, to express any decided opinion as to the general merits and demerits of the narrative here commenced by Mr. Lever, without waiting yet awhile for its somewhat further development. Enough if we venture to observe as yet, that the work promises almost as largely as the majority of its predecessors. Already we have learnt to recognise, if not quite yet to admit into the inner circle of our affections, the strange wild Irish girl—Mary Martin—in character having something analogous to that of Mr. Lever's own " Baby Blake," and something reminding us too of Sir Walter's " Di' Vernon," the brave and beau tiful. Martin himself, the lord of Cro' Martin, is well depicted ; as also may be said of his lady wife, the elegant, haughty, and insouciante. Maurice Scanlan, moreover, is already a veritable creation —the dapper attorney driving his tandem, to the horror of his proud patron of Cro' Martin Castle. Though the latest instalment of the fiction, the num ber (III.) for tie present month of February, we have become rather more interested in the intermingling fortunes of the low-born genius Joe Nelligan, and of the high-born man of the world Jack Mas sing,bred—as well as in those of the wayward Mary Martin, and of the gentle Catty Henderson. We can almost foresee even now how Catty will, before the end of the book, marry Joe Nelligan, and Mary, perhaps, in like manner, become the spouse of Jack Massingbred. About the most humorous character already sketched upon the canvas by the hand of our eminently pictorial fiction writer is that of Mrs. Nelligan, a sort of Irish Mrs. Nickleby, who thus comments, at page r 5, over the dearness of provisions, wken Joe calls the said dearness a fact beyond denial :—" A 'very melan choly fact, my dear ; and so I said to Betty Gar gan yesterday. It's well for you,' said and the likes of you, that use nothing but potatoes; but think of us that have to pay sixpence a pound for mutton, six-and-a-half for the prime pieces, and veal not to be had under eightpence.' They talk of the poor, indeed ! but sure they never suffer from a rise in butchers' meat, and care nothing at all what tea costs. I assure you I made the tears come into her eyes with the way I described our hardships." Besides the personages already men tioned as taking part in this story of " The Mar tins of Cro' Martin," there are already sundry others worthy of mention, conspicuous among them, Slimily Crow, the obscure, impoverished, and threadbare artist enthusiast. Enough, how ever, yet awhile as to the incidents and characters of the new serial story by Harry Lorrequer. Com menced as agreeably as these have been in the three numbers already published, we shall watch with interest the course of their gradual inter mixture and development. History of Woman. By S. W. Fullom. 2 vols Longman. When we call to mind the influence which woman has exercised in history, when we reflect on the alterations and vicissitudes which have affected her social position, and the various de grees of estimation in which she is even now re garded in different countries, we shall feel that her history and " her connection with religion, civilisa tion, and domestic manners, from the earliest period," is neither an uneventful nor an uninterest ing record. To be convinced of this we need but to recal the names of a few of those heroines of ancient history who have affected the fate of em pires or ruled the destines of nations, or shone in the paths of learning or literature, or, better still, have distinguished themselves by the exercise of their more characteristic qualities by their self sacrifice, their devotion, or their endurance. The darker side of the history, too, presents a no less striking lilt. We may all remember some whose names are rothoothered but to be denounced—who have shown haw the fiercest passions, the most in , human cruelty, the most violent hatred and mali cious revenge, may transform the nat are of woman into a rival of the most ferocious and unrelenting tyrat.t. But th e opportun i ty of displaying her innate virtues was no sooner offered than embraced. Women may remember with pride that it was in them the New Faith, w hi c h exposed' its dis ' el •P l 1 • to every iinagin a bl e trou b le and difficulty, fond many of its earliest awl most steadfast supporters,. Though through so many ages degraded and slighted, women soon proved to the world how ill they had judged who had regarded them as as inferior race, and attested in the flames of martyrdom their devo tion, their constancy, and their faith. Whether we .regard these heroines of later days or their pre decessors, Cleopatra, Zenobia, Semiramis, Boa dicea, or their successors Queen Elizabeth, Mar guerite of Valois, Maria Theresa, and her unfor tunate daughter, Mary of Scotland, Lady Jane Grey, all of whom are mentioned in the present volumes, we cannot fail to be interested and attracted. Mr. Fullom has chiefly devoted his volumes to the heroines of antiquity. They are not, however, so much a succession of bio graphies as a general narrative of the position and influence of woman in the various great eras of history, though sketches of the most remarkable lives are interspersed. In the intro ductory chapter on the antediluvian world the author remarks that its inhabitants must no doubt have attained a high degree of civilisation ; and if we consider the changes and events which have swept over our modern world during 2,000 years, we shall feel convinced that their progress iu general knowledge must have been very groat. He cites, however, as a proof of the true regard in which women were held, that th e names o only five can be collected during a period of 20 centu ries. He traces their social position during the patriarchal period, and in the Assyrian, Persian, Grecian Roman, and Byzantine empires, during the middle ages, the Tudor period, and the com prehensive epoch of " Latter days." He gives a brief but graphic sketch, interwoven with accounts of the most remarkable characters and events, and gives rather a general than an elaborate sketch of his subject. The work is likely to fascinate and interest the reader, and let us hope that, haying thus provided us with the outline and delineated the celebrities of the ancient world, Mr. Fullom will resume his task, and give us the history of som© of those illustrious characters who have adorned the pages of modern history.
