ENGLISH CAMP, HEIGHTS OV SEBASTOPOL, Me.nOis 24. I hasten to correct by the first opportunity au error into which I was led at the. close of my last letter, in stating that Colonel Kelly, of the 84th Regiment, field officer in command of the trenches on the night of the Rueseen sortie, was killed. This, I am happy to say, is incorrect, IColonel Kelly not being dead, and, though severely wounded, not likely to die. I. mast, in self defence, state that the report of his death at the time I closed my letter was universally believed throughout the camp, and that I received the news on what I then considered to be the very bast authority on such a subject. The report of his death arose, I am told, from the fact .sf Colonel Kelly and Captain Vivian, both of the 34th, being brought into male) together after such a serious loss of blood that the latter gallant officer expired almost ins- Mediately ; and this led to the belief that Colonel Kelly was also fatally injured, for rumour of the statement of his sabsequent death was then easy. Lieutenant Montague, of the Royal Etigineers, is a pri soner in Sebastopol. He was captdred while engaged, with the rest of the covering party, in forcing back seine of the enemy who had penetrated into the advanced work. Captain Brown, of the 7tli, was wounded early in the engagement, and lost so much blood that he nearly fainted. He, however, declined to leave the work, and after a short time rallied sufficiently to lead his men on again. In the final desperate contest he received several bayonet wounds, and two bullets through his chest, and expired instantly. I said in the close of my last letter that a truce of two hours had been agreed upon to enable the Russians to re cover and bury their dead. Shortly before twelve, there fore, I went down to our right attack in order to take ad vantage of the truce to see the enemy's position as closely as possible, arriving at Gordon's Battery; however, I found that firing was still going on, and that the truce would not commence f or ano th er half hour or so. The +•dvanced work of the enemy—cellei the Memelou, I omit ted to mention in my letter—had opened fire this morning upon the right of Gordon's Battery. It was then only tiring three gnus of heavy calibre, but eight others were also in position. *Until the Russians actually unmasked their guns many of our officers used to express themselves confidently that they would never attempt to place any there, but merely continue it as an infantry redoubt. But the result shows that in this, as in other matters, we have undervalued our enemy, and the spirit of determination with which they appear bent on resisting to the last. After spending a short time in Gordon's Battery, which is in the most perfect state of repair and good order, Ipro ceeded by the zigzags and coveted ways into the advanced trench on which the sortie was lately made. This is an advanced work about 200 yards from the Mamelon, about 600 from the Malakhoff Tower, and about 100 yards from the enemy's rifle pits, which' are scattered more or less numerously along the whole front of the allied lines. The marksmen in these latter posts are continually on the alert, and keep every one else on the alert also. They fire on the slightest souud, or at the most trifling indication of an enemy's presence. In approaching the adVanced work by the covered ways some-of the angles are necessarily a little •)pen, so that at two or three turnings glimpses of the caps earl heads of our men passing up and down can be ob tained. On these corners the enemy's riflemen seem to con centrate all their vigilance, and theugh every one naturally stoops and darts round them as quick as possible, yet the izz of a rifle-bullet close above generally shows that the sharpshooters have been .equally quick and watchful of their opportunity. Several times were the party I was with thus admonished by the enemy to be more careful for Abe future, and though we had a very narrow chance from one bullet, whiBl.l passed near our heads, we all got to the advanced trench in safety. This work connects our right attack with the different new French batteries at Inker man. One helf of it down to the middle ravine, in front of the Matnelon Battery, is held by the English, the other half, on the right, beyond the ravine, by the French. When I entered the trench all the troops • were lying down under the shelter of the bank, gazing through two or three crevices at the movements of the enemy in the diffe rent batteries. In advance of the work, about 50 yards, were two or three small banks of saint-begs, under cover of which lay our own sentries exchanging shots now and then with their concealed adversaries in the pits. Beyond a few such compliment a occasionally there was no appear ance of hostilities ; in fact, the whole aspect of affairs in the advanced work was that of serious idleness. The men in it were laughing and chatting in under tones. Very many were wrapped up in their great coats, fast asleep. I walked down the work, looking at the marks which the place presented of the late desperate attack. In one or two places the gabions had keen almost deitroyed, and nearly all the sand-bags in the parapet knocked away. Those which had fallen inside had been replaced. Those outside were nearly just as the enemy had left them. In one part of the trench were the bodies of a Russian officer and four men. The officer was the ono who *so distin- guished himself by his determined efforts to force an en trance, and who, atlast, unfortunately for himself, succeeded. Outside the work the dead lay thicker, though with those in and out not more than 150 were thsre in all. On the right the appearance of .the French trench showed that the struggle had been long and bloody. This work had almost all been completely destroyed, and though every effort during the two nights which have since elapsed .has been made to repair it, it is still in a rather dilapitated condi tion. Their gabions had been almost pulled away, and were lying in heaps in front of the work, and in a long train up to the Malakhoff Tower, just as the Russians had thrown them away in their flight. The enemy's dead were here in serious numbers in front of the work. At least 200 were outside, and nearly as many more inside the trench. The French troops were now is strong force at this post, probably between five and six thousand, and many officers were there, both English and French, wait ing till the flag of truce should be raised to cross the trench and survey the enemy's work. The time was to be between half-past twelve and two, yet it was now past one, and no signs of - it - appeared ; on the contrary, the French and Russian riflemen, from their respective concealments, were firing away pretty sharply. A. gun also was fired from th e M a l a khoff Tower, and went hissing through the air over Gordon's Battery, but• an in stant afterwards a white flag was hoisted -on the Mamelon, which was replied to by one in the advacced trench. A few minutes afterwards and all th e b a tt er i es h a d w hi te A ~f TZ lane ao:o strong, straggled oat from the rear of the Malakhoff Tqwer, and began descending the hill towards the middle ravine. Stretchers were then brought up, and the word given to our men to carry out the bodies of the dead Russians who lay inside the trench, and the rest of the men, who were watch ing this signal, instantly swarmed over the bretistwork, and began looking about them like boys out of school. From some mistake or other, as our men showed themselves, two shots were fired from the rifle pits, upon which the troops were instantly ordered to return, and one private sent for ward with a white handkerchief tied to the end of his musket. After this no shots were fired, and every one walked about as he pleased. I crossed with the rest, and advanced beyond the middle ravine, almost to the foot of the small steep slope on which the Mamelon is erected. As this work is likely soon to figure rather importantly in our future proceedings I sur veyed it with much curiosity and interest. Viewed in con nection with our chances of capturing Sebastopol, the im pression which it produced on my mind was anything but favourable. It is, as I have said, a steep rocky eminence, about a mile in circumference at the base, and about a quarter of a mile at the top. Its average Might from our advanced parallel is at least 100 feet, its distance from it about 201 yards, and its distance from the Malakhoff Tower nearly double that. Seeing, therefore, - that it is nearer to our works than the Russians, your readers will doubtless ask with surprise why the allies never occupied it themselves, especially as its summit entirely commands every part of the works round the Malaknoff Tower. But this is a question which no one can answer, and much more surprise is felt about our remissness in this particular here in camp, where the importance of the position is fully ap preciated, than is ever likely to be excited at home. The only reason that I have heard assigned is that the place was never thought of until the °many begeu to fortify it, and that then, after the failure of the French attack, it would not have been wise to persevere further. The work, however, must be stormed, and that, too, before tiny serious attempt to attack the town itself can be thought of. When ever it is stormed, now that it is mounted with guns, the struggle will be most bloody. Its steep sides are so covered .with masses of rock and loose stones, that no force of any strength could possibly advance undiscovered, while the same cross nature of the ground would equally hinder any sudden charge to capture it by a coup -de ntain. About 4',) guns in the Malakhoff Tower works also appear laid so as to sweep every side of the hill, from its base to the summit. By the time that I hod noted these particulars, all the French, English, and R uss i an officers and soldiers had met and were mingled .together on the space outside the trenches. It certainly seemed an extraordinary scene. Everything was ut once so warlike and 'yet so peaceful. Grim batteries were frowning down upon the spot from every side, yet the white flag was floating, and the para pets and embrasures were quite hidden with people eagerly looking down upon the spectacle below. When all the different troops had met—the privates grinning and offering each other pipes —the officers bowing to one another, as if all were on the most friendly terms, and as if in the course of a couple of hours they would not be doing their very utmost to murder and destroy the very men on both sides to whom now both sides were so polite, across from our trenches, in the direction of the Malakhoff Tower, a man with a white flag was leading a large fatigue party, carry itig some of the enemy's dead. Russian fatigue parties were also busy round and inside the French trench, en gaged in the same melancholy duty; while the idlers on both sides, of Whom there were considerable numbers, strolled about, picking their way among masses of stone, pieces of shell, piles of round shot, 'dead Russians in every attitude of mortal agony, torn sand-bags, gabions, fascines, bayonets, broken firelocks, thousands of flat tened bullets, unused cartridges, and all the litter of a scene of comblt. The Russian officers were well and neatly dressed in long fine great-coats, white cross balls, and swords. Two or three had quite a profusion of handsome rings on their fingers. All seemed to speak French well ; some were very friendly and chatty, offering our own and the French officers cigars, while others were polite; but very grave and reserved, bowing to the allied officers when they passed, but never entering into conver sation or appearing to pay the least attention to anything but tha duties in which they were immediately engaged. One Russian officer, conversing with a party of ours, said that the large 68-pounder in the right of Gordon's battery had done the Matuelon works considerable injury, but they hoped soon to repair it. Another asked, with the utmost simplicity, " When the allies were going away ?" The question was at first not understood, and he repeated it, asking when we intended to raise the siege and leave the Crimea ? One of our officers replied that we never in tended quitting until Sebastopol was levelled, upon which the Russian officers smiled, and the same who had before spoken said there was very little chance of our doing that. The Russian soldiers were both dirty and ragged, but be yond this defect in their appearance were well enough. They 'were very fine young men, and all in robust health, a with round ruddy faces, on which was a porpetuel grin at a t everything our men did or said. Their uniform short thick greatcoat of grey frieze, with waist leth er belts bo same material, round flat caps, and tight aotfs,thine fact, just the uniform of the men we foueh oft imperiala D None had the helmet or other e quipments Guard.

This morning being appointed for the trial of Luig i Baranelli, for the murder in Foley-place, a gocd deal of ioteret was manifested to hear the proceedings. Shortly before ten o'clock Mr. Russell Gurney, Q.C., took his seat upon the bench, and the prisoner was then placed at the bar. He was well dressed, and appeared to be still suffering from the injury he inflicted upon himself at the time of the murder. He pleaded not guilty, and having elected to be tried by an English jury, the prisoner was removed from the bar. Mr. Justice Erlo took his seat on tho benea a few mi nutes after ten o'clock, and the prisoner was again placed at the bar, to- take his trial for the murder of Joseph Latham. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clerk conducted the prosecution. Mr. Maoenteer and Mr. Le Breton were counsel for the prisoner. Mr. Bodkin, in opening the cage, said that, although the charge was one of a serious character, the circum stances were very simple, and he should therefore not occupy unnecessarily the time of the jury by making any lengthened speech to them. The learned cotnsel then went on to state the fact', and having done so, called Sophia de Veaux, who said that she knew the de- ceased man, Joseph Latham, who lived, under the name of Lambert, at No, 5, Foley-place, to which place he had removed a short time previously, from Nevrman street, Oxford-street. A woman lived with tha deceased, and both passed by the name of Lambert. The prisoner had reiided there with them. Deceased and Mr. Lam bert slept in the back parlour, and a Mrs. Williamson lived in the house, carrying on the business of a milliner. Upon the morning of Sunday, the 7th of January, the prisoner came to the house, and witness let him in. Prisoner gave her a card to take down stairs, and she had no sooner done so than she heard the discharge of two pistols. She instantly ran upstairs, and upon entering the room, sax Mr. Lambert lying dead, and Mrs. Larubart bleeding from, wounds which she said prisoner had inflicted upon her. She then ran out into the street and gave the alarm. Witness did not know of any intimacy existing between the prisoner and Mrs. Williamson. She believed he was by trade a tailor. By the Judge—There was nothing particular in his manner when she let him in. Mary Jeanes, the wounded woman, was the next wit ness. She was dressed in deep widow's mourning, and remained seated whilst she gave her evidence. She ap peared to be in considerable pain and very weak. Hay ing been sworn, she stated that she knew the deceased. She lived with him as his wife. The prisoner had lived with them at Newman-street, and after they removed to Foley-place he occupied a room upon the same floor as Mrs. Williamson, who had also lived with them at both places. A. short time after the prisoner had been with them he removed from his bed-roum adjoining that of Mrs. Williamson and slept in a room a floor lower down. He left their house upon the 28th Deoember. Mr. Lambert had requested him to leave. He did not follow any trade, but witness believed he was a tailor ; he was an idle, lazy man. Witness did not know of any inti macy existing between the prisoner and Mrs, William son prior to his leaving the house. After Mr. Lambert desiring the prisoner to leave the house he twice sent letters to Mrs. Williamson. Upon the -morning of Sunday the prisoner came into the bed-room,. upon the ground floor, where she and Mr. Lambert were. He had a pistol in each hand. He then fired at Mr. Lambert and shot him dead, and instantly levell ed the pistol at her and fired. She put up her hands and Cried to avoid the shot, but it passed into her breast, and she was for a long time confined to her bed from the effe.cts of the wound. In cross-examination the witness said that the prise ner was always treated most kindly by the deceased man. The prisoner did not seem to be in a very excited state upon the morning when the murder was commit ted. Whilst the prisoner lived with them lie was a very quiet man. Whilst he was ill in the hospital Mr. Lam bert used to take him things, and do all he could for him. He used to receive money from his club, and also money from Scotland, from some one of the name of Stewart. Mr. Bodkin'said it was some family with wh om pri soner had lived. Sergeant Hayes proved being called in upon the morning of the murder, and being told that the pri soner bad run upstairs followed and saw. some one run along the staircase and enter a room upstairs. He in stantly afterwards heard a pistol shot, and upon break ing open the door found the prisoner lying upon his face. He (Hayes) then raised him, and saw that he had shot himself through the face by the side of the nose, below the left eye. Prisoner ha•l a pistol lying by him. Prisoner groaned and said, "I shall die, I shall die!" The prisoner then made a statement to the effect that an intimacy had existed between him. and Mrs. Wil- Hayes th en liamson, who was pregnant by him. Th a t it h av i ng become known to Mr. Lambert, he had turned hi m ou t g o o f ntehre was s e t , h e a n n d t t a h k a e t n h e t othtehne desperate.bheocapme:oi.v to the one Pr he the room where Mr. Lambert was lying d ea d, and h fo e u there s found a, e n p o r t i h s e o r n e p r i . stil, a s feiti Cross-examined by Mr. Le Breton—The prisoner did not seem excited when ho made the statement. When he was seen by Mr. Brydges, tDe surgeon, he made the same statement, and said that lc had become desperate about the Thursday previously. The woman Jane Williamson was then examined, and stated that upon the morning ofthe murder the prisoner, after having committed the deed, carne to her room and said that Lambert was dead. He then ran out of her room and she heard the report of a pistol in an adjoin ing one. The witness then went on to detail the nature of the intimacy which had existed between them, and said that he wished her to quit the house of the Lam berts in Foley Place. When the Lamberts had told the prisoner they intended him to go, she saw them and they said it would be better. Prisoner asked her to go out and meet bit; and she refused. She afterwards received two letters from him' makino. appointments. Prisoner used to say he was un happy, and that he should die, and that his ghost would appear to her the same as it did in the Corsican Brothers. He also spoke of his daughter at Penshurpt. The other evidence given proved the finding of the bullet in the skull of Mr. Lanibert, whose death must have been instantaneous, and the removal of the pri soner to the hospital. The case was not concluded viien we went to press. Notwithstanding the approaching blockade of the Russian Baltic ports, many ship are chartered to take orders at Elsinore for a Prussim or a Russian port. To:s hal liPen et,i fly in con , t.ple,ice of expectd.lions of peace ; but it is presumed it will be quite legal to order them from Elsinore to Russian pats until a formal noti fication of blockade shall hay° hem issued. BasiLas yester !, y. fractur e d, , t l , and it was some time' before they were all collected into OEIO ghastly a little in advance of the parallel.

Some of these . altercations were loud and long, - and had to be settled by the interference of a superior officer. The non-commissioned officers Stood a little from the feet of the long rows of dead, and called forth the f a ti gue part i es in regular succession, when eac h pointed out ce r t a i n b o di es, and after some conversat i on took them away, w h en ot h ers stood forward in their turn. We were for some time at a loss to understand parts of this proceeding, especially when the altercations took place, but at last came to the concluSion that each regiment had sent a burying party for its own dead, and that, there fore, the aforesaid party had a direct interest in taking as few as possible. While this hideous distribution of bodies was going forward amid such a scene I walked away from the trench in the direction of the Malakhoff Tower until mid way between it and our advanced work, which was as close as it was prudent to go; for even though a truce was existing, neither party of course would allow the other to examine its lines minutely. Still I was enabled to get within a very reasonable distance of the tower, and. certainly was much struck by the number, . strength, and solidity of the earthworks round it. All of them seemed in beautiful repair, and more like the perma nent defences of a regular fortress than the more efforts of a sudden emergency. In front wade deep ditch, with a strong cleevaux de irisr of rough pointed timber at the other. side ; while above, from the edge of the fosse to the elope of the battery, were pointed stakes about three feet high, set so closely in the earth as to appear at a little distance like a dank band all round the work. But with such a commanding point as the Mamolon once-in our possession, the whole of these stockades and the batteries behind them could be destroyed in a single day. On the left of Malakhoff, but projecting 100 yards in advance of it, was the Redan. This is now one of the most tremendous of all the Ressien works. Its three sides have double tiers of guns, there being in this one battery alone, it is calculated, not less than 2EO pieces of ordnance, some of them of the very heaviest calibre used in warfare. This work, like Malakhoff, is also defended by a broad deep ditch, with a cleevaux de frise, but without stakes, on the slope of the parapet. From between these batteries a moat admirable view could be had right down into the town behind them. Even with the naked eye everything could be seen quite distinctly ; but, with a good glass, a minute examination of every house could be made. But the most minute examination which -I could -make failed to show me that we had inflicted any injury worth speaking of in the town. The little huts of the Turkish and Tartar population outside the walls are destroyed. The handsome town in , side the walls is, as a town, uninjured. A barrack and a few warehouses nearest to the walls aro much perforated, and file roofs nearly gone, but this is all. The large public buildings, the barracks, churches, and rows of splendid houses, show no mark of injury of any kind. As I looked at some of the best streets could hardly persuade myself that I was not gazing at. some of the better parts of Bath or Brighton, so white, regular, and handsome was their appearance. Very few persons were in the streets • probably I did no t see more than 30 or 40 in all, and of this small number, at least two-thirds were soldiers. I saw no women of any class. A good many boats were busy about the harbour, and many people seemed at work on shore, a little above the water's edge on the north, where numbers of carts and arabas were passing to and fro, but beyond these signs o life there seemed nothing doing. The town itself eppsare almost entirely deserted. After this inspection I walked past the front of our ad vanced trenches, midway between ours and the enemy's. The truce had now lasted nearly two hours, and as I looked towards the middle ravine, I could see by the very few of the Allies and Russians who remained upon the spot, that most of the dead had been removed, and that therefore the brief peace would soon terminate. Impressed with this notion I hurried in without farther loitering, as, if the flags of truce were haul e d d own , I s h ou ld be left alone in open ground in the midst of a cross fire from batteries and riflemen of both friends and enemies, a perfectly novel situation doubtless, but one which also had its own pecu liar disadvantages. I therefore turned up in the direction of our lines, so as to pass along the front of our batteries, and came out upon the Woronzow road. The ground over which I passed was rough and very stony, without a sign of vegetation beyond a few violets and ,crocusses here and there. Sometimes it was very rocky, with pits, quarries, and small cairns of stones—the very model of good skir mishing ground, but the last one would choose to conduct a siege on. I was quite surprised at the extreme distinct ness with which . every one of our deences could be seen by the enemy. From the picket' house in roar of our lines it is only with much difficulty that our trenches can be seen below us, but from the Russian side the profile of every battery shows clear and sharp upon the hill sides. As I came nearer to our lines the tokens of the contest and the prodigal manner in which Old enemy used their am munition almost hid the ground. In places where then) we, e hollows in the earth the shot and pieces of shell had rolled into them in such a manner as to quite fill them level with the. surface. Everywhere, in fact, along the whole extent of our works the shot lay in thousands and thousands, covering the ground in such a manner as to make it seem of a deep brown colour. An immense proportion -of the Russian shells have never exploded at all, and there they lay just as they issued from the gun. Within about a hundred yards of our works the ground is .quite cut to pieces by the deep shot furrows, while the balls themselves, coming in contact with others on the ground, have shivered into little fragments in all directions. In the parts oforon.ny road, lower the 11 . 7 below Gordon's Bat tery, the shot and shell have rolled down th. ...ad almost choke the way. ! After this t our I returned on the rightattack, and waited there until the last stragglers of th e enem y h a d ga i ne d the shelter of their lines. Instantly the Russians hauled down their flags of trims.; we did the same. The snap shots of the riflemen began on both aides, our right attack fi re d r shell, the Mamelon replied, and then everything went on ..!,+. 1.0. 1, , ,,, for the fast six mouthe. Ar.,.n.tc Last night the Fr enc h aga i n h ad a smart skirmish 42 with the rifle pits under the Mamelen. It was attended with very little l results. The French had to recover the three pits from which they had been compelled to withdraw their Chasseurs the morning before. After skirmishing and firing for about an hour our allies were unable to effect their purpose and discontinued their attack. Tho rest of the night passed off quietly on both sides. This morning a heavy gun on the left embrasure of the Mamelon was opened in No. 3 battery, in the right attack. The electric telegraph has now been completed between Lord Raglan's head-quarters and all the trenches, and by this a message was sent, informing his lordship of the opening of the gun, and asking advice. The reply was "fight it," and preparations wore ma d e acco rdingly. A long 68-pounder gun, from. the Terrible, was found to bear upon the precise spot, and this, therefore, was the gun selected to fight the Russian one. The practice made with it was perfect -never was better firing seen since the siege commenced. The very first shot tore away one side of the Russian embrasure, and laid the enemy's gun completely open. The next struck the gun full in the muzzle, shattering and dismounting it within five minutes after the order had been given to fight the enemy's gun. Lord Raglan was informed by the telegraph that it had been fought, and was then dismounted and broken. Orders were then sent back for the same 68- pounder to fire every half-hour in the same spot for the rest of the day. Before the day was half over the greater part of the earthwork at each aide of the embrasure was quite destroyed, and what seemed most strange, after theii gun-was dismounted, not a single Russian battery fired a shot in reply to ours. This unusual circumstance no one could account for. During the course of this afternoon the pickets on the heights around Balaklava observed an unusual force of the enemy between the Woronzow road and Tchon r.,ourr. These troops were not there yesterday I and iu consequence of their sudden appearance orders for increased vigilance have been issued to the sentries and out-pickets round Balaklava. The Highlanders now ap pear in their kilts and feathsr bonnets, as the weather has much changed, and become almost unpleasantly warm. The general condition of all the men improves still more each day. Not 10 per cent. of the huts to be erected are yet at the front. The railway, as far as Karani, is used to get them up, and each truck holds two or three : but the steepness of the incline on which the stationary engines are situated has, it appears, been much under-estimated, as the engines are not strong enough for the work, and only two tracks at a time can be drawn -up very slowly. This is a serious disappointment, as it was fully expected the engines weak', be able to draw up a dozen trucks at once. MARCH 26. Nothing occurred last night. This quietness is the calm before the storm, as our final bombardment is certain now to take place in a short time. A few days since cud to: morrow was said to be the date fixed, but, this, of course, is premature. Still so little is the way of preparation now remains to be done, that if it were Lord Raglan's wish there is nothing wanting of sufficient importance to hinder him commencing to-morrow. It is said we now wait for the arrival of the French Emperor, but this I imagine is a mere conjecture, though, if he is really coming, it is likely enough to be true. Each gun, I am informed, has now 400 rounds of ammu nition, and the store of powder necessary for this amount of shot is also nearly completed. To day the City of London arrived from Malta. She brings four 13-inch mortars and an immense supply of 10 and 13-inch shell. The mortars are to be landed to-morrow and forwarded to the front with all speed. A party of workmen will also be engaged all to-night in sawing and joining beams for mortar beds. The general opinion is, that within three or four days at latest we shall open fire ; and I certainly think such a step will be taken in the course of another week at latest. What will be the result of this second bombard ment of course none can tell ; but our engineer officers seem at last confident that the place will be ours, though not without a desperate contest. One thing, hollleievarls a i allied matter of positive certainty—namely, that if commanders swish it, the whole town could be uaattierlyupdoen stroyed in 24 hours.

Althou 31l etaed melancholywit one an e _ n d tures ; - this - novel is deserving of attentio n and claims consideration, inasmuch as it exposes au d rseliain s f t u o l ry in o cide t n h ts e ate:w ble condemns some social evils. Its design and moral may be seen from its title-page. It would holds up to merited scorn and reprobation those dome.stie tyrants and household scourges, who do in secret what, performed in public life, vio`utcl arouse the indignation of an incensed nation. gin, crime, and vice are the same,. whether the eye of man has gazed on their works, or whether they are only be ! held by Him who seeth in secret. It must be left to the moralist to decide how far he exceeds in. real guilt who strike's the defenceless, and wages war against those whom divine and human laws have alike agreed in putting under his control. The author of this work would show'that the man, who makes life a living death, and the ties of marriage more terrible than the yoke of Egyptian bandage, or the chains of African slavery, to the beincr:he has vowed at God's a lt ar t o cherish and protect, is be- Reath the notice of his fellow -mortals. It is toe much the custom to think little or nothing of suCk doings; but it is not because of their rarity ocr their triviality that we shut them out from our study. A gifted poetess has exclaimed— " 0 ! tell us, on thy flowery breast, Eart , ), where thy nameless martyrs rest r - - But if earth discovered the scenes of suffering where "her nLnaeless martyrs" live in anxnish, how few would care to listen ! How many of those whose tears would fall fast on the sacred soil where " the weary are at rest" would turn their thoughts "to the homes of the weary where the wicked have " not ceased to trouble," and who would hail the - grave as a sanctuary no human tyranny could violate, and the king of terrors as a champion whose res cue no mortal- ft:IL-3r could op pose—not but that cases of the sort and nature here described cannot bt., dealt with easily or effec tually. The stranger who intertneddleth often hastens the catastrophe, or consummates the crime. Still this does not excuse or explain why the offender should be screened from blame, or tacitly encouraged by respect and attention. Because his offence is in defiance to the commandments of his Maker, not a breach of the statutes of human laws —because his judge is to be the Lord of Vengeance, not a weak mortal like himself; and, above all, because this world will not see his punishment society throws a shade over the deeds, hut casts the light of its favour on their doer. It ignores the actions, while it welcomes the actor. This is the purport of the story to demonstrate, and it is well expressed in its motto— " Nor custom, nor example, nor vast numbers Of such as do offend make less the sin. For each particular crime a strict account Will be exacted." The plot is worked out with a skilful hand, and a variety of characters are introduced to our notice. The most pleasing one is Ashley Vernon, who forms a striking and glorious contrast to his proud and wealthy neighbour, Colonel Templeton, who must be considered the hero of the story, and who is chosen to represent the character before alluded to, that of a petty tyrant and house hold horror. The scenes are of exciting interest, in which Helen had to fly at night froth a hateful marriage threatened by her father, and in which the hapless Mrs. Templeton had to conceal herself in a secret passage from her infuriated hus band, when he discovered she knew and aided her daughter's escape. This rage grew to such a pitch that his youngest daughter, Constance, his favour ite, the only one he cared for, had to leave him. His home was then deserted ; his companions in crime had to leave him in possession, alone, for he would not allow them to come to him, as they in sisted, and take up their abode. It was the dig nity of the master, and not the tenderness of the father and Lumband, that forbade strangers to enter. He resolved to be lord, but he was at last to be subdued. Conscience was his unconquerable enemy—not sorrow, nor remorse, nor pity, but fear and horror, as one by one his victims passed him by in the vigils of his solitary life and the watches of his sleepless nights. His sufferings never soft ened Mai to repentance, but they maddened him, they irritated and inflamed his impatient disposi tion till his life became a curse and a burden.

The ceaseless friction, the gnawing tooth, the restless fear of a guilty mind, confined within its own limits, was working out a more fearful and agonising penalty tbau any tortures man could inflict or the arm ofearthlyjustice execute. It seemed, in its supernatural state of terror and anguish, uncheered by faith or hope, ;and unsub dued by suffering and loneliness, as if his mind already tasted of that second death which eternity in its undying worms and unquenchable filres is to consummate. Colonel Templeton might well have " And now my race of terror run, Mine be the eve of tropic sun." There were certainly no " pale gradations," and no " twilight dd ws ," t o ca l m down and s often the glare of the noonday before the dark ho or came. The " wife's trials ' were not bliried in th e grave ; she had heard no words of kindness, and she l‘lad seen no evidence of repentance.* Eilinor Granth am had indeed a bitter cup to drink.

She one ver would have counselled Helen to take flight lad any other rescue been possible • and, above all, sh e would never have fled like a thief herself, had. not her life been in danger from her husband, who by drink and gambling was fast losing control of his senses. Constance, the most pleasing heroine, was of a noble nature and a fearless spirit. Had her mother been gifted with her character she , either would not have married Colonel Templeton, or have kept him in better bounds. He sthrmed at those who trembled at him, but he was awed by the gentle firmness which looked lthn in the'face with the eye of virtuous indignation, and his spit owned the superiority of his young feared not him because he feared not. hope.

ME. SHELL'S LEGAL AND POLITICAL SKETCHES. — The republication of these papers has excited a great sensation in Ireland. The Dublin Mail observes that "They contain more matter of high and enduring interest to all classes of readers than any publication of equal extent professing to illustrate the social and literary position, or treat of the domestic manners, of that coup• try." " Written," observes the Nation, " with the vivid force of truth, and with great keenness of critique, and grace of language, they place the charadtrs of the prin- cipal emancipators, Protestant and Catholic, and the stirring scenes of the Agitation, in fine relief." " They serve to resoue," says the Belficst Whiy, " from the danger of being lost manyinterestin particular.i regard. i ng some of the most eminent men of an age now passed; Their value as contributions to the history of Ireland during a stirring and momentous period in her annals will alone be sufficient to secure for them a permanent place among the productions of the age," S U ARE MARKETS. cTHIS DAY.)
