LAW INTELLIGENCE (TRU Lit Y). The Lord Chancellor sat in the House of Lords to. day, and will not sit in Lincoln's inn till Saturday. COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before Vice• Chancellor Wood.) WALKER V. SIMPSON. -JUDGMENT. The Vice-Chancellor gave judgment this morning in this case, in which the principal question was, whether the interest of one of the sons of the testator in the cause was a vested or contingent interest. The testator, Mr. James Simpson, was a large iron founder, carrying on business at Bury, iu Lancashire, and was also pos sessed of considerabie property in Bolton, in the same county. By his will he directed that the whole of his estate should be converted into money, to be placed in the hands of trustees for the benefit of his wife and such children as should reside with her during her widowhood! but that upon her death or second marriage, then that his property should be equally divided among all his children, as each attained the ago of 21, and upon the death of any of them without issue, the share of the one dying should be divided among the other children. The testator also, by his will, gdve a power to his trustees to advance to any of his childre❑ duringhis widow's life, or during her remaining unmarried, any sum not exceeding the half of what they would be entitled to upon her death or second marriage. The testator's eldest son, Micah, attained the age of 21, married, had a child that died before him, and, under such a state of circumstances, the question now wa% whether his widow, on the events that had happened, was entitled, as his personal representative, to her share of the testator's property upon the death or second marriage of the testator's widow. The Vice- Chancellor held that Micah Simpson took a vested and not a contingent interest, and that his personal re presentative, his widow, was entitled to one-fifth share of the testator's residuary estate. • BAIL COURT. (Sittings in Banco. Before Mr. Justice Wightman.) THE QUEEN V. TWO OF THE JUSTICES OF SURREY. Mr. Parlby moved for a rule calling on two of the justices of Surrey to show cause why they should not issue warrants of distress, and levy the amount of a spe cial rate, on the goods and chattels of Robert Carter, Esq., and Mrs. Alex. Wood, made by the Epsom Board of Health under the act of 1848. The act enables the board to make a retrospective rate, going back over a period of six months ; ana on the 12th of Dec., 1853, they made a district rate accordingly, the amount of which had been paid, except about 291. One ratepayer, however, appealed to the sessions against the rate, and quashed it. On the 15th Dec., 1854, the board made another rate, which was a more valid one, but which the above persons refused to pay, on the ground that they ought, before being called on to do so, to be repaid the sums they had paid under the bad rate. Rule granted. THE BALTIC FLEET. The annexed extracts of a letter received yesterday by a mercantile firm give some late details of the proceed ings and prospects of the Baltic fleet : "Her Majesty's Ship Duke of Wellington, on • passage up the Gulf of Finland, May 27. `• It appears the enemy has not allowed the grass to grow during the absence of the fleet last winter, as is only too evident from the many new and formidable additions to the fortifications of Sweaborg and the islands com manding the approaches to Helsingfors and the inner channels to this hornets' nest. These additions chiefly consist of batteries built of stone, with a thick frontage of mud and sand, mounting on an average ten to twelve guns ; our reconnoitring vessels could not distinctly , make out the number of guns, but sufficient has been ob served to convince us of their activity, and of the advan tage taken by the mistakes committed last campaign in sensing in steamers without any particular object, by which means we pointed out their weak points and the places whence their guns could mst bear on us, deficiencies they have now effectually remedied. " The fleet of 14 ships of the line stationed here last year has also effected a junction with the main body inside of Cronstadt, a movement evidently made after our departure from these waters last November. One three-decker and two liners, besides a few steamers and gun-boats, alone remain. The prize to be gained by an attack is conse quently considerably lessened, and we must look to Cron stadt, where the whole of the naval power of the Empire is now concentrated, for what last year might probably have been accomplished in detail. It certainly limits our space of operations, although it increases the risk and ren ders the result more dubious. " A couple of our men-of-war have returned from the Aland Isles, and bring information of the doings o f th e Imperial Government since our departure, which reflects little to their credit, and lowers them considerably in our opinion, owing to the mean step% they adopted to revenge themselves on the poor unprotected natives. As soon as our ships were withdrawn last autumn, police agents were despatched to Aland to act as informers against any one known to have favoured or held communication with us. Now, considering that we took possession of these islands with upwards of 12,000 men, how could any reasonable per son suppose the natives could offer any opposition ? And it would have been equally unreasonable of them to refuse to supply us with provisions when it would have been useless to resist; nor can they be blamed for receiving money as an equivalent for the articles we deprived them of. Upwards of 20 individuals who were found with British money have been carried off to Russia, probably Siberia ; others have had fines levied on them, and several have been confined for various periods. "Prices of all articles'of foreign produce have increased faimensely ; salt, for instance, on the island of Nargen, formerly cost four or five silver roubles per barrel (nine to a ton), azid now the same quantity costs 14 to 15 silver roubles, at Z... 2d. One or two Americans have run cargoes on the strength of it, and made money. "We have had upwards of 60 cases of smallpox in the flag-ship, and the mea have consequently been landed at the French hospital on Fa: o• " We are now proceeding, with 14 sail of the line and six steamers, up the Gulf of Finlani.i, and propose to-night to anchor off Seskar Island, 24 miles from Cronstadt. " The French are on their way up the Baltic, and in another week we expect to see them. " The Gulf of Bothnia has as yet not been blockaded, not being free from ice." THE SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL. The Austrian Military Gazette contains the following letter from Sebastopol. which, although dated as far back as the 13th of May, gives some particulars of in terest : " In spite of all the efforts which the enemy have made our bulwarks stand as fast as ever. Long before the bom bardment began the journals of the. West informed us that our walls and forts were speedily to be put to a new proof. This made us re iouble our precautions, and we bore firmly the truly hellish (hollischz) fire which threatened all with destruction. Nevertheless, thousands were devoted to death, and it made one shudder to see the Elborus (the steam-boat) pass every two hours during the bombardment from the south to the north with so many wounded that she could scarcely carry them. While standing in Bastion No. 4—the bastion which suffered most of all—l forgot the danger to which I was exposed in admiration of the cool and stoical conduct of our sailors. They fell, and ex pired without a cry, though racked by the most fearful agonies.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. (From the Times of this day.) Sir James Graham has given us another phase of that penitential mood in which the seceders from the Cabinet are pleased to express themselves. He is of opinion that we are all of ns in the wring, and that we should all of us undergo a certain amount of voluntary humiliation. The difficulty is how to do it, and how to prescribe so as to hit our several cases. Sir James himself and his friends have gone out of office ; that is their share in the general humiliation, and they have all the more right to call on everybody else to do likewise. But, as nations and potentates cannot go out of office so easily, what is to be the substitute for Ministerial abdications ? Russia, Sir James thinks, has done enough. Her pleasant views —that is, her arrogance, her lust of rower, her intrigues —though Sir James is much too gentle to ascribe these infirmities to our gallant and self-denying antagonist, have now been whipped enough. Has not Russia been sufficiently humbled by seeing her tallow and hides shut up in her ports or compelled to travel by rail, while we were flaunting our flag all over the Baltic and the Black Sea ; by seeing her works at Bornarsund pulled to pieces; by her defeat at the Alma and Inkerman • by having to scuttle her ships and block up her harbours ? Has she not exhibited much Christian humility in allowing her own Plenipotentiary to sit at the same table with the Turkish ; in permitting other European States be sides herself to have a voice in the protection of Chris tian .Tvloldo-Wallachians ; in permitting Germans and others to enter their own Danube without foundering on the bar, or being fired at by the Russian forte, or stopped forty days or so in some filthy l azaretto ? Has not Russia made the astounding concession that Tur key is a European State, and has she not at last gone so far as to concede that the Bosphorus may be abso lutely open, whether Turkey wishes it or no ; or that Turkey may send to England for assistance whenever the Russian fleet is seen at the entrance of the Bosphorus I In fine, Russia has done as much as can be reasonably expected from her, and it is now our turn. We must mortify our pride, resist the temptation of military glory, wean ourselves from this wicked rivalry, and call our fleets and armies home, where we are to keep them for many years on their present scale, not for the purpose of conquest, but for the sake of moral dis cipline, and to remind us of our follies. France is re commended to swallow our example, and Swallow the dose with as good a grace as she can. We shall all be better for it in the end, sadder and wiser, and less disposed to think too highly of ourselves. No disparagement to the Christian virtue of humility, but it does seem rather an odd recommendation of a par ticular course that it is so very humiliating, and that we want rubbing down. Was that the secrtt of Sir James's own official career, and was he sent as a' wholesome chas tisement to the proud people of England ? There is a great deal of advice which a comfortable rector feels much awkwardne s s's in giving, to his hard-working, ill paid flock, and there is an incongruity of the same kind in the old border baronet, a man of great wealth and aristocratic position, telling small people to gulp down a dose of national humiliation. The truth is, that these small people, the toiling millions, have, on the whole, a rather dull time of it. They do not achieve many triumphs in their private affairs ; they make little ground ; they do not enlarge their borders, or make many advantageous eonnexions. Their splendour is confined to the family cir cle and a few friends; theirluxuries to the fireside, to news papers, books, and such cheap and universal enjoyments. They often find it hard work to keep up the interest of life, especially in the long winter evenings and the long sum mer days, which they have not money or leisure to enjoy as they would like. Under these dreary circumstances they take to national objects of interest. They hope for the day when Lord Panmure shall send his compli ments to the papers, and inform them that the allies have walked into Sebastopol, or smashed Cronstadt, or that Russia has seen the error of her ways, and made an ample apology for her follies and crimes. Sir James may be philosophica.ly indifferent to such foolish specu lations and such ephemeral triumphs. Why should he care about such things, when he is just as great a man whether we take Sebastopol or are pushed into the sea ? The mass of the people have little else to care for, an,l are as proud of their armies and battles as the Roman citizens of their amphitheatres and games. This may be a vulgar taste, but we confess to some sympathy with it. We did think that our alliance, and even our frier d ship, was worth a good deal. We had read with pride of the European influence of Cromwell, of the enterprise and perseverance of the Prince of Orange, of the wars of Marlborough, of Nelson, and of Wellington, and the vast spread of our empire over nations to whom our rule is an unquestionable blessing. Sir James Graham thinks we have had enough of these follies, and rejoices to see in the present state of affairs in the Black Sea an opportunity for a little national hunoiligtion. But in the course of this homily an odd difficulty seems to have presented itself to the mind of Sir James Graham, which neither his worldly wisdom nor his Christian sentiment enabled him to dispose of. So he leaves it to the end of his speech, where it comes in like the notes which a clumsy writer cannot engraft into his text, or like a secular postscript to a spiritual letter. What is the Sultan to do? What, too, are the allies to do with him? It will he the task of the next generatior, says Sir James, to prepare for the fall of the Ottoman Power. This is rather a singular comment on the two Russian propositions, which Sir James thinks we were in the wrong to refuse. If Sir James hat made up his mind that Turkey must go to the dogs, so much so that ail we have to do is to distribute the inheritance of " the sick man," what is the value of his opinion as to the working of this or that proposition for the independence of Turkey ? But, even if Sir James retained this opi nion of the impending downhill of Turkey, one might suppose that the sentiment which prompted him to re commend a general self-humiliation to all parties in the war should also have taught hires to leave Turkey to die a natural death, without troubling himself about the dis posal of her goods. But, humble as we are, we are forth with to apply ourselves to see that when she goes at last nobody is to administer to her effects, neither the East nor the West, neither the Russians nor ourselves If we are, however, to interfere, if we are to keep up our army and navy, if we are to enter on a long course of policy, why not :take all this trouble for the positive purpose of securing as much as possible the independ ence of Turkey ? That is something worth the trouble, not because the Turk is so desirable a member of the European community, but because he is a member. • t is less evil to keep him than to do without him, and, after having had a finger in his affairs for a century or more, it has become a traditional policy to support him. But here is the share in the general humiliation which Sir James distributes to the Turk—he mu't prepare to give place to his betters, and see his own friends setting his house in ceder before the breath is out of his body. But, for the matter of humiliation and the crime of imposing too hard terms on Russia, Sir James is obliged to plead guilty to having himself conspired to limit her fleet in the Black Sea ; only ho says he never meant that proposal for an ultimatum. It was not made as an ulti matum. Russia was still at liberty to make her own propositions, which she did, though she was not suc cessful in persuading us to accept them. The case, however, is simply that Russia has refused to make a reasonable proposition on the point of the greatest im portance, so we are still at war, and the war must work itself out to its own results. Of these results Sir James takes a gloomy view, and he appears to think we have under-estimated the strength of the foe before whom we have thrown away the scabbard. But Sir James's views are proverbially gloomy in opposition, and be is always disposed to make the most of difficulties. Fifteen years ago, with many expressions of distrust and apprehension, he approached th e aw f u l su bj ec t o f th e Chi nese war. "If , unhappily, we are on the verge of a rupture with that country, nothing could be less wise than to despise our enemy • it was prudent in time well to cons id er w h a t were the resources, what the strength of that country with which we were about to engage in a hostile struggle." Such was the exordium of a long speech, heavy and gloomy enough to crush the energies of any Govern ment that did not know Sir James Graham. He was soon after the most energetic member in a Government which made short work with China. Only put Sir James in office once more, in a position to suit his own ideas of independence, and we shall not hear much more of our powerful and generous foe, or of the duty of humbling ourselves before him. It is usually the Opposition that advises a nation to fast in sackcloth and ashes. Doubt less the advice is natural to their feelings at the moment, but it comes with little grace from one of an Adminis tration that committed the very sins we are now invited to atone for. ( From the Morning Herald of this day ). The Government and the Government organs have for the last few days been in an ecstacy of delight. Everything has gone weil with them. Lord Palmer ston, by tiding over Whitsun-week, has got rid of the Vienna Conferences, and may meet all objections by asserting that they no longer exit, and that the debating anything connected with them is simply holding a dis cussion upon a caput mortuum. But, better than all this, signs of returning vitality appear in our fleets and armies in the Crimea. A successful advance has been made on the line of the Tchernaya, and the expedition to Kertch, which formerly proved abortive, having once more pro ceeded to the eastward, has passed through the straits -- which Sir James Graham reported to be utterly imprac ticable, as well on account of want of depth of water for large vessels, as on account of ships having been sunk in the passage—and performed some real and effective work in the Sea of Azoff. The ignorance, real or affected, of the late First Lord beingf as it was, simply part of the system of know nothingness so effectually followed by the late Govern ment, and carried to such a length as to induce Lord Strat ford de Redcliffe positively to refuse to adopt the means suggested by Admiral Dundasto procure someinformation regarding tile/Crimea previous to the embarkation of the troops, and the object of this professed ignorance being known to the public, we can afford to pass it over in silence. Englishmen will make their own comments on it. With respect, hovever, to the late successes of our fleet and army, we must say that every incident of this nature which has occurred, so far from being a source of congratulation, either to the two Coalitions or to the country, should be a heaping of coals of fire on the heads of the first, if they have hearts in their bodies, and a source of the deepest and most lasting regret to the second, for having neglected to force upon a treacherous Government the adoption of those very measures in the course of the summer of 1854. We have now been nominally at war with Russia for fifteen months, and the treasonable manner in which that war was of a set purpose reduced to a nullity, as far a,4 effective measures were concerned, has been the cause of all the misfortunes and losses to which the nation and our soldiers have been subjected. For the first time in fifteen months has a measure been adopted whichit was obvious to the commonest capacities should have been the very first step taken when the war was resolved on. • Long and bag before that war broke out we over and 'aid.

In proof of this we ask, who offered the stoutest re sistance to our men upon the bloody heights of Alma ? We answer, the ex-garrison of Anapa, brought across the straits without interruption from our cruisers, when the very first announcement made by a contemporary, on the part of the Cabinet, that the expedition to the Crimea was about to take place. On the other hand, we spared Odessa ; and we ask, who headed the attacks at Inkerman and .Balaklava ? We answer, the corps of Osten-Saeken and Liprandi, brought through that very town of Odessa, and supported from it, having been re leased for that purpose by the treasonable arrangement made with Austria for the occupation of the Principali ties, and the withdrawal of the Turkish army to embark for Eupatoria. By the way, we may observe, en passant, that those doable external lines, of which Eupatoria formed the base of one, were totally contrary to the rules of war, and we now find that some slight returning dawn of sense has induced our loaders, at last, to withdraw the great mass of Omer Pacha's army from that point, in order to reinforce what must now be the main attack, that upon the height above the Tchernaya. This by the way. We pointed out some days ago, and must now repeat, that the great sufferings of our army during the winter 'months, when our men lived upon rations of raw pork and unroasted coffee, and were left totally unsupplied with fuel to convert either of those materials to proper food for human beings, and when consequently our hope less invalids, sent from Balaklava to Scutari, amounted to the frightful number of 1.000 per week, exclusive of those, perhaps, more fortunate soldiers who were buried where their tents stood—all this, we repeat, was occa sioned by the successful operation by which Liprandi, on the 25th October, seized on the command of the Woronzow-road, and threw us back from our only line of communication upon the hills and valleys of mud which intervened between the trenches and the harbour. Now, we assert that that army of Liprandi could never have held the ground—so useful to Russia, so fatal to us—for a single month, bad the means of procuring supplies from the Sea of Azoff been cut off, as, according to all ordinary strategy, they should have been, anterior to the arrival of the expedition before Sebastopol. In fact, the whole of our misfortunes, and the whole power of the Russians to sustain the siege for eight months, is attributable entirely to this fatal omission. We have been induced to enter upon this long resume, in order to point out to our readers who are the parties that should be held accountable for all this calamity. We say that the blood of our soldiers cries from the ground, and must have satisfaction. We proceed to point out how this satisfaction is to be procured. As each and every one of the operations which we have detailed as essentially necessary must have been performed by the agency of the fleet, it obvious that the channel of communication between the Cabinet and the admiral must have been the First Lord of t' ,e Admiralty. We say the Cabinet, be cause the omissions we refer to were fully as much the omissions of Lord John Russell and Lord Palmerston as they were the omissions of the Duke of Newcastle and Lord Aberdeen ; and the measure which should be meted to the one should be meted to the others. Be fore Mr. Roebuck's committee Sir James Graham stated that the First Lord of the Admiralty possessed the power—apparently irrespensible—of superseding the public instructions given to the admirals of our fleets by private letters ; that those private letters were impera tive, but that in no case was the admiral to be permit ted to produce those private communications in his own defence, although bound to obey them. Now, we say that neither King nor Kaiser ever possessed a greater or more objectionable authority than this, and the exer cise of it by the late Cabinet through the First Lori should be probed to the bottom. Unless this be done we shall never arrive at the truth. An opportunity of doing so existed during the Sebastopol committee, and Admiral Dundas admitted that he was in possession of despatches of a secret nature, and it was in the power of the committee to have had them had they so chosen. True, however, to their instincts and habits as "independent members" in the present Parliament (those instincts and habits being always to come to the rescue of a so-called " Liberal " Government, however unconstitutional their proceedings), the managers of that committee, upon consideration with closed doors, decided against availing themselves of the only possible mode of examining into that inquiry— which they were appointed and expected by the public to investigate thoroughly. We verily believe that these secret despatches from the First Lord to our admirals contain the whole of those treasonable arcana by means of which our fleets have been baffled in the Baltic, while millions of money and thousands of men have been sacrificed in the Black Sea The house meets again to-day to investigate these matters ; and we ask, has no man the courage and pa triotism to demand that the admirals be called to the bar, and their secret instruction's read publicly to the representatives of the nation ? Until some such step he taken the public will vainly demand the punishment of the real offenders—those who ordered the immunity of Odessa and prohibited the occupation of the Sea of Azoff. (From the Times of this day.) Although the conference at Vienna has now been brought to a formal termination, and the propositions which have been discussed there by the plenipotentiaries of Europe, with more or less success, must be consi dered altogether in abeyance, we see no reason to desist from the opinion we have more than once expressed, that it is both just and expedient to take such measures as may be in the power of the Allies to restore a settle:) and permanent form of government in the Principalities of the Danube. The war may last an indefinite period, and may lead in other respects to results we cannot at this time foresee, but it is monstrous to act as if two vast dependencies of the Ottoman empire, peopled by four millions of inhabitants, and enjoying every element of prosperity except peace and good government, should be left in this deplorable condition, outraged by foreign occupation, and oppressed by the most venal of governments, until the Western P owers an d t h e Czar have settled their disputes. Russia has been driven from the Principalities, and they are nomi nally restored to the authority of the Porte, which is represented at Bucharest by the Hos podar, Prince Stirbey. We really are at a logs to discover the motive which led to the restoration of this personage at the very time when the influence of the Western Courts ought to have had some weight at Con stantinople. Upon Stirbey's return to Bucharest he retained in office the very men who had most actively served the Russian party during their occupation. He expelled several members of the national party without cause from the country, and every kind of abuse con tinues to be committed under his authority. The Porte, urged by the British Government, sent a Pasha to report on the condition of Wallachia ; at the same time, delegates of the provinces were sent to Constanti nople to represent the grievances of the population. The report of the Commissioner was highly unfavourable, and an order was given to remove Prince Stirbey, but means have been found to defeat this measure, and he still continues to retain his power. The Russian party among the Boyards of Wallachia is influential, but by no means numerous. The injuries inflicted by Russian invasion on the country are too recent and too painful to be bought off by a few decorations and bribes. The Principalities have learnt to regard the Russians as their worst enemies, because they know that the origin of these incessant inroads and occupations lies at St. Petersburg. Nevertheless, the reigning Hospodar, even after his restoration by the Porte, is entirely in the interests of Russia, the newspapers o ' Bucharest are not allowed to contain an illusion hostile to Russia, and even the recent articles in the Moniteur on the con duct and objects of the war were not suffered to appear in Wallachia. The other day one of the Boyards, who had been appointed to investigate certain charges of corruption against the administration of the Prince, was disgraced for having presumed to comment on the fraudu lent entries in the public accounts. It is notorious that large aurns of money voted for the construction of roads, for the maintenance of schools and hospitals, and other public improvements, have been appropriated to very different purposes. Meanwhile, the condition of the country continues to be deplorable. Hopes had been entertained that the exportation of corn by the Danube in neutral ships would be permitted, but we have recent intelligence that the whole trading flotilla of the Greek merchants which had been sent up the river for this pur pose has been stopped by the Rusesian batteries on the Bessarabian shore. So much for the Russian promise to Germany to adhere to the second point, which secured the free navigation of the Danube I The Austrian occu pation is, in fact, a protracted subversion of legal autho rity in the country, for the only military objects it could serve have been long since accomplished, and the troops remain there, not for the protection of Turkey, but for the oppression of their fellow-Christians by means which cause even t t h h a e t Mah this o is m a ed s a ta n yoke teof to th be things which i e e t h t ed. We sayneed not continue, and which ought not to continue. Its existence can only serve the purposes of the Russian or the revolu tionary party, but every other Power has a common in terest with the people of the country in the restoration of a permanent and respectable form of internal govern ment. We do not believe that the undertaking would be as difficult as has been supposed ; and it ought to be the more readily performed, as the agents of Russia have no ostensible right to interfere at all in the matter. The treaties which gave Russia that right of intervention are by common consent, and by the effect of war, at an end. It becomes the duty of the Porte, as the suzerain of these provinces, to provide suitable and permanent means for carrying on the government, both with a view to rid the country of the burden of a foreign occupation, now alto gether superfluous, and- to maintain that authority to which the provinces look for the protection of their inde pendence. It is undoubtedly true that, but for the tie which connects these States with the Ottoman empire, they would lohg since have been absorbed by Russia or by Austria. That is the best justification of their some what anomalous connection with the Porte, for it gives them the security of a large empire for the defence of their territory, while they have the advantages of a small State for the purposes of self-government. The prospect of a fresh invasion of the principalities by Russia is extremely remote and improbable..

Another instalment of " The Newcomes" wilt bring its readers within a month from the time of its completion, by that double number which com prises not only the concluding chapters of the serial novels of our day, but with those chapters gives us also, in a bunch together, frontispiece, title-page, preface, index, and dedication. Although we hal e arrived at so brief a distance from the inevitable ' - end of Mr. Thackeray's last magnum opus, we must still acknowledge ourselves altogether at ftril6 as to any reasonable conjectures about the demote ment. We cannot call to mind any fiction in wbicit the ultimate fate of the principal character is more completely hidden, not only from view, but from the mere possibility of anticipation. After reading twenty-one numbers of the work, we approach tit (+ to the secretly close of the second volume without the faintest n( • blended, but apparently tion of what may be the purpose of the 'novelist as well, that the destinies of his hero and heroine We know per fectlypresentsevered, month of June must bring us numberY of , and that four or five weeks afterwards xx l l ll .* twill be this . dis cleared up in regard to the domesticeveryt home fortunes of Clive and Ethel, thr f4e . ..and. of numbers xxiii. and xxiv thenough Vli.e7inedium d from the press together. Yet we to. be issue for the life of us venture upon an Lia h n i not ev,en now ng like a rea sonable guess, aguessfounded, thaytis premises, as to the intentions of Mr. , T ur a t e l k rational i k regard to the husband of Rosey, and th eray in betrothed of the Marquis of Farintosh. iv e h once we must needs bide our time patiently with h re th or rest of the world—pronouncing while w do — e so our' admiration for the consummate skill by which, the most natural manner possible, the romanciri has baffled the efforts of those most accustomed, by profession as critics, to unravel the involu tions taken by the most tangled thread of the most intricately-elaborated narratives—with a view to the discovery somewhere in the mazes of the plot of the clue by which we might, in anticipation, have followed its windings, until they had con ducted us prematurely into the heart of the labyrinth. A very considerable advance has been here made by our author in the development of his story of The Newcomes, as may be readily understood after the enumeration of the following circumstances:— circumstances related in the four chapters now offered to our examination. It will be found from the present number that nosey has presented a little son to Clive ; that the Bundlecund Bank is at last seriously rumoured to be in jeopardy ; that Fred Bayham comes out rather magnificently as a mob-orator ; that the hero and heroine meet one fine morning at old Mrs. Mason's ; that Sir Barnes is ignominiously rejected (after a severe contest) by his quondam constituency—his fortunate rival, the chosen colleague of Mr. Bunce in the representa tion of the borough of Newcome, being no other than our dear old paragon the Colonel. The in cident of the number, however, has yet to be mentioned. The reconciliation, that is, of Clive and his father after a miserable interval of estrangement. During all which interval they have scarcely dared to speak to each other—both of them growing, meanwhile, at heart, and at last, in appearance, more and more distressed at the other's wretchedness. Their re conciliation is effected this wise :—the Colonel, hipp'd and lonely, is smoking his cheroot sorrow fully late one night before an expiring fire at his Inn in Newcome—on the table at his elbow a glass of cold negus and the ashes of his tobacco—think ing in his sadness that his cup must be wellnigh at the dregs. When Clive, candle in hand, comes into the sitting-room, and both start—each seeing in the other's face a look so very sad, and worn, and pale. " God bless me, my boy," cries the Colonel, "how ill you look ! come and warm yourself—look, the fire's out ! Have something, Clive ?" " For months past," says the narrator, " they had not had really a kind word. The tender old voice smote upon Clive, and he burst into sudden tears. They rained upon his father's trembling old brown hand as he stooped down and kissed it. You look very ill, too, father,' says Clive. Ill? Not I!' cries the father, still keeping the boy's hand under both his own on the mantelpiece. Such a battered old fellow as I am has a right to look the worse for wear ; but you, boy, why do you look so pale ? "I have seen a ghost, father,' Clive answered. Thomas, however, looked alaryied and inquisitive as though the boy was wandering in his mind. The ghost of my youth, father, the ghost of my happiness, and th e b es t days f my life,' groaned out the ,young man. I saw Ethel to day.' " And so they pour out their hearts to each. other, with all their secret burthen of regrets and unuttered sympathies. Till Clive, speaking of Ethel and his destiny, cries out—" There was my Fate. Praise he to Allah. It is over." And the old man, in anguish, wrings the hand of his son and says " Mashallah ! Clive, my boy—What is done is done." And so we leave them again, those manly and gentle hearts—father and son—united. as of old —when they part for the night at the doors of their adjoining bedrooms. Every word in this scene—simple and true throughout—brims our eyes with a pathos exquisitely beautiful. But the humorous in its turn is not wanting withal in the present number of The Newcomes. For example—when in the postscript of a letter from Ethel to Laura, the former writes, by the way, "They have put up a dreadful caricature of B. in Newcome : and my brother says he did it, but I hope not"—Arthur Pendennis, laying down the letter (which he is reading) exclaims in amaze ment, "He says he did it ! Barnes Newcoine would hardly caricature himself, my dear." "He often means—means Clive—l think," says Mrs. Pendennis, in an off-hand manner. " 0 ! be means Clive, does he, Laura ?" " Yes--and you mean goose, Mr. Pendennis !" that saucy lady replies. There, indeed, lies the secret of our bewilderment as to the denouement --the love being the same as • of old with Ethel and Clive, so that the only escape for them b o th seems to b e through the fortunate accident of little Rosey's deat'a some day ! How ever, let us leave the happiness of both, with impli cit credence, in the hands of Mr. Thackeray— looking forward yet, through good and evil, to some joyful close to The Newcomes. BATH AND WEST OF ENGLAND AGRICULTURAL SO CIETY.—TIVERTON, Tuesday.--The exhibition of this association opened with the trial of implements, which commenced on Monday and terminated this evening. There are more implements exhibited this year than on any former occasion. The trial of the ploughs on tho light and heavy lands was as successful, as the weather (which was exceedingly wet) would permit. The implt meat yard will be opened to the public to-morrow, and so also will the cattle yard, which is well stocked with prime cattle from the western counties.
