Mr. CHARLES LEVER.—The celebrated Irish novelist is staying in London for a few days, after a long resi dence in Germany airi Italy. LORD BROU4HAm's NEW BILL ON JtIDICIIAL STATIS TICS:— Yesterday this bill, of seven clauses and " tifi,y 'schedules," was printed. Its object is to obtain annual returns fr'.rn all courts. Mr. EDWARD STIRLING, the dramatic author and actor, and who has had great experience in stage • ma nagement, has, we understand, been engaged by the new lessee of the Lyceum as his stage manager. LYCEUM THEATRE,.—There appears to be some degree of uncertainty as to who has become the lessee of this theatre, some naming Mr. Conquest, and others Mr. Balm The disputants in this matter are like the tra vellers in "The Chameleon." "Both are right, and both are wrong." Mr. Dillon is Mr. Conquest's son-in law, and both gentlemen have, we believe, a mutual in. rest in the undertaking, POOR LAW AMENDMENT IN SCOTLAND. A bill brought in by Lord Duncan and the Lord-Advocate empowers the Board of Supervision, with the consent to appoint tWo inspectors goefotehrealSoefcrtehteary p oorofState, in tland to assist in th e (mean tion of the act of Parliament. They will be e n ti t l e d to execute. all the powers conferred by the recit e d ac t on commissioners and inspectors. PHILOPSOTHY AND FIREWORES.—It is all Very well to call the 29th inst. a day of rej o i c i ng , b u t i n ce l e b rat i ng our deliverance from the misery and horrors of war by letting off squibs, and burning unnecessary candles, in order to show the delight which, if we felt it, we might be content with feeling, we exhibit a spectacle, which will probably cause smile philosophers to regard that day for themselves, considering that the authors of this tom foolery are their fellow-creatures, as a day of humiliation, —Punch. THE PEACE BEJOICINGS.—SOUTHAMPTON, May 27. At a public meeting held at the Town-hall last evening it was unanimously agreed t) postpone the celebration of the restoration of peace to the 30th of June, inste ad of commemorating the day on the 29th inst., as ap pointed in other places. This determination has been rendered neces s ary by the' death of the late respected mayor, Mr. Sampson Payne, whose funeral takes place to-morrow, the day preceding that on which the pro posed festivities would otherwise have been enjoyed. THE ORDNANCE SURVEY OF SCOTLAND.--r-Ttle select committee of the House of Commons have reported that a national survey of Scotland, if conduced on proper principles, will go far to reduce, if not wholly repay, the original cost of public a ti on ; that the expense incurred would prove a beneficial application of the public money, and that Colonel James's recommendations are those which they can safely propose for the adoption of the hose. ACCIDENT TO A SCOTCH STEAMER.—The following no tice was posted yesterday in the Liverpool underwriters' room : "Stranraer, May 28, By electric telegraph. The Princess Royal st -witer, from Liverpool for Gla-- gow, is on the rocks near Scaurlagan, near Stranraer And inside Scanrlagan.

ACClDENT.—Yesterday as a lady, accompanied by her nurse and child, was entering Hyde -park by the Marble arch, the carrtave of Lidy Caestertield came past at a great speed, and the lady was knocked down, the wheels pass mug over the chest and injuring her arms. She was con veyed to St Ge,rge's Hospital, where every attentio was paid to her, and we are glad to add that the injury ained .as found to be not very seriono. - HALF-YEARLY REPORT OF THE BELFAST AND BALLY• MENA RAILWAY.—The half -yearly report to be read at the general meeting of the shareholders of this railway on the 30th inst. has been published.

STATE OF TRADE.—NOTTINGIIAM, May 28.---The lace trade is quiet, but as warmer weather has set in we may speedily lock for a change for the better, more especially in the fancy branches. The demand for the superior class of goods has been dull in consequence of the seve rity of the spring. Manufacturers may, however, now look for an improved demand. On the 20th instant the Emperor of Austria addressed an autograph letter to Count Coronini, in which be thanks him for the way in which he has managed mat ters in the Danubian Principalities, and:confers on him the Grand Cross of the order of Leopold. By an army order of the same date his Majesty announces that his troops are beginning to quit Moldavia and Wallachia, and at the same time expresses the satisfaction which the conduct of officers and men has given him. ILLUMINATED STREET-LAMPS. —In several parts of the metropolis an excellent contrivance has been placed, within the last few days, at the corners of leading thoroughfares, consisting of an illuminated lamp, with the principal streets branching off from the thoroughfare enumerated thereon, so that the greatest stranger to the metropolis at night can find out any particular locality without the slightest difficulty.

Prince Albert, Viscount Ilardinge, attended by a brilliant staff, arrived soon after 10 o'clock, and the inspection immediately commenced. The mes went through the usual evolu tions, and after pas-ing the assemblage of officers in slow and quick time, marched off the ground to their respec tive barracks. There was a large concourse of spectat,;rs present on the occasion. FATAL AND FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT THE PADDING. TON RAILWAY STATION. —Yesterday Mr. Wakley held an inquest at the Bank of England, Paddington, on -Daniel Ind, -a mason, age 37; who met with hi s d ea th under the folloiving frglitful circumstances. The de ceased was at work on the goods station at the Great Western Railway Terminus, when, as several goods trucks were being shifted, he slipped off the projection upon which he was at work between the buffers of the Passing trucks, and his chest was immediately crushed• in an awful . manner.

Lord Campbell, in acknowledging this compliment, said, in reference to the recent trial, that he felt con. zinced all the members of the bench would have devoted co it the same anxious attention, and the same earnest lesire for the honest administration of justice, which the Lord Mayor bad been kindly pleased to recognise in the conduct of his (Lord Campbell's) two learned brothers :Lod of himself. The noble and, learned lord subsequently tated that although he believed the corporation of the Jity of London required reform in certain particulars, a o hoped that for many a generation to come her Ma jesty's judges would have the pleasure of meeting in that 'all worthy successors of the distinguished gentleman .ho at nreseot fitted the office of chief magistrate of th it ancient city. A nuttier of use toasts of the evening was, " The Health of 14. r. Dallas, the American minister in this country." The LORD MAYOR, in proposing this toast, expressed ;lid regret that Mr. Dallas was prevented by business en 4agetnents from joining them that evening ; and he then proceeded to express his earnest desire that the most riendly relations should continue to exist between two •ations united by so many ties as England and the States of America. . DALLAS, jun., briefly but cordially responded to the toast, and —aid that nothing but the important claims of public businetis could have prevented his father from en joying the pleasure of assisting at that festive meeting. Seine other toasts were also given and duly honoured, before the festivities of the evening were brought to a conclusion. ROYAL BOTANIC SOCIETY. Yesterday proved to be a most unfortunate day for the first exhibition of the Royal Botanic Society, which took place in the inner circle of the Regent's-park. The morn ing was fine ; but about an hour or two after the gardens opened heavy clouds overhung the sky, the character of which was soon apparent. The rain came down in tor rents and continued without intermission until nearly 7 o'clock. The state of the weather declaring itself thus -early in the day prevented an accumulation of visitors in he garden-, and not more probably than 2,500 or 3,000 individuals were present altogether during the continu ance of the exhibition. It was unfortunate that the ele ments were so adverse upon this occasion,.for the show vas a particularly good one, somewhat, it was alleged, above the average, The company who happened to ar rive at the gardens before the weather so cruelly changed bad no alternative but.to take shelter in the spacious marquee at the back of the conservatory, where the flowers were placed, as is now the rule, upon slopes and mounds. The bands of the First and Second Life Guards and Royal Horse Guards Blue were also driven within the same locality, and there they played briskly and cheerfully, in spite of the dreary state of things without. The following were the awards : Extra Gold Medal—Mr. May, gardener to H. Conyer, Esq., Dartford, Kent, for 16 stove and greenhouse plants. Large Gold Medal—Mr. Dodds, gardener to Sir J.

CAPTURE OF THE RUNAWAY CONVICTS. —Two of the three convicts who escaped from the train at Rugby, while being conveyed from Wakefield to Woolwich, have been recaptured in Leicestershire, after committing a burglary in Warwick.hire. On Saturday night a poor man, named Garrett, of Wibtoft, Warwiekshire, had his house broken into, and a quantity of wearing apparel and 3/. 10s. stolen. Oa Sunday morning police-constable Carp apprehended, at some lirnekilns near Hinckley, two men who gave the names of Field and Murphy. Field was dressed in the clothes taken from Garrett's house, while-Murphy had on his convict's clothes covered bye. shirt., Field was under sentence for twenty year', and Murphy for four years. The former said they filed their chains and escaped at Rugby while the attention of the keepers was attracted by one of the convicts apii a . rently being iu a 6t,..which wa.s a feint previou , ly.agreatd upon. Field said be had escaped from prison four tunes. The prisoners were, at Hinckley patty sessions, ccra mitted for trial at Warwick Assips. LITERATURE. Griselda, a Tragedy : and other Poems. By Edwin Arnold. David Bogue. As there were two Montgomerys (James and Robert) in the last generation of versifiers, so there are two Arnolds (Edwin and Matthew) in the new race of " young poets" who have latterly hounded forward into the literary arena as compe titors for p.)pularity. And as, we believe, with the rival Montgomerys, so we believe with the rival Arnolds—no tie of relationship binds the two, however remotely, together. The juxtaposition of the twain results only from a similarity of names, not from any connecting bond of consanguinity. It happens, however, in the case of our two con temporary young poets, the Arnolds, that there is a certain similarity traceable between the character of each as a student of polite-letters endowed with a refined taste, a delicate sensibility, a very rare store of book learning, and a singularly graceful and elevated imagination. Analogous—this simi larity—in some measure, at least, with the resem blance so far observable between their predecessors, the two Montgomerys already mentioned, as both of them religious versifiers, both of them versifiers moral in purpose and didactic in style. Never theless there is this most observable peculiarity which distinguishes Edwin and Matthew Arnold as poetic competitors, from James and Robert Mont gomery as simply poetic contemporaries. There is no such glaring discrepancy between the in tellectual strength of the former, as there was incontestibly discernible between that of the latter, a discrepancy so remarkable in its kind and magnitude as at once to place in separate categories the author of "Satan" and the author of the " World before the Flood." Neither of the Arnolds can feel otherwise than complimented by a comparison with his immediate contemporary and namesake—Mr. Bogus's " Arnold" and the " Arnold" of the Messrs. Longmans might, each in turn, experience a reasonable degree of gratification at any csntrast whatever being drawn between their rival publications. They are both scholars of re fined taste, stored with classical erudition, and gifted largely with natural sensibility and with an admirable appreciation for the true and beautiful. Mr. Matthew Arnold, theion of the ever-honoured Rugby Schoolmaster, has evidenced his poetic capa city by two substantive publications, issued in the unpretendingformof two volumes of "Poems"(so en titled)—First Series and Second Series—the former of these (to our mind, immeasurably the worthier) having already attained the honours of a " second edition." Mr. Edwin Arnold, of University Col lege, resembling his namesake in this, as in other things, has likewise already given to the world two separate books of verse—his maiden work, simply entitled " Poems, Narrative and Lyrical," and his recently issued volume, inscribed upon the title page, " Griselda, and other Poems"—the latter, a book which cannot but tend to enhance his reputa tion. Griselda !—well, 'tis an old story: simply, gravely, wisely, nobly, eloquently told anew. And so let it pass—with a sigh for the fancy, and a benison for the memory, of sweet-hearted, clear minded, honey-tongued old Chaucer. The " Occasional Poems" which follow possess for us a more individual interest as the direct intellectual offspring of our author's imagina tion. Industrious he has proved himself to be of late—for during 1855 alone we observe three dis tinct poems to have been issued first of all through the pages of three among our first-class magazines —Blackwood's Magazine, and Fraser's .Magazine, and Bentley's Miscellany—the poem in Maga being one of considerable beauty, called " Vernier." It surprises us, rather, to observe among Mr. Edwin Arnold's minor pieces a pathetic commemoration of " Andre Cheuier," suggeAted by the very same in cident which the muse of Sir Bulwer Lytton has so exquisitely celebrated. Strange, too, is it to re mark another fragmentary contribution to the poet's corner of The Press, entitled "In Memo riam," in very despite of Mr. Tennyson. This is one from among the number of " Songs of the Time." As a specimen of our anther's powers as a humorist, take his " Address of a Poor Scholar to his Pound Sterling"—beginning quaintly Gold ! as I'm a starving sinner ! Saint Cecilia! what a chink ! I'll ordain a regal dinner,— Gods ! I'll eat and drink. Counter in the game of living, Buying deuce, knave, queen, and king, Bartered, borrowed, given, giving, Potent yellow thing ! Now I feel, I see thy story, Grecian, gold-won Danae ; If one comes with grace and glory What must a shower be? Oh, Fortuna ! and this morning Thou mightest have spared me my Catullus, And stilled my landlady's shrill warning, Instead of sweet Tibullus. Too late ! I dined on old Homerus, And Plautus paid my washing bill ; Well ! " carus," stranger, " tatnen serus." Thou'rt most welcome still. Nay, but stay ! it can't be really All a solemn sterling pound, I've seen so few—l'll ring it fairly : Mammon ! there's a sound ! Continued thus sportively : Yea ! by all the sands of Hernans, By Apollo's golden bow, See, my soul ! these signs confirm us, 'Tis—where shall we go ? Venison's in, and at the Sceptre Splendidly I know they dress it, Had I two I—eh ! sage preceptor, " Amor nu:mai crescit." For the potent charm that binds thee, Shillings twenty ! to my heart, Is— whoever after finds thee, Thou and I must part. And ending with this pleasant extravagance : Lo ! mine inn !—Hence, cares ! in " mare Creticum,"—or down to Greenwich. * * * * Is this after all but fairy Land,—or lamb and spinnach ? Waiter, ho ! " vinum deprome,—" Bring an amphora, I say— Dost thou better seek to know me? Doubtest thou I'll pay ? Lo ! the coin ! quick, varlet, quicker ! Napkined knave ! mistrustful churl ! Cleopatra-like, in liquor Thus I melt my pearl. As a contrast to this, let us instance the following as an example of the skill with which our young poet can command our tears no less readily than our laughter. It is a little conceit " from the German," called " Tue Three Studalts :" There came three students from over the Rhine, To a certain good hostel they turned them for wine. Ho ! Landlady, have you strong wine and beer ? How fareth the Fraulein, your daughter dear ? My beer is fresh, and my wine is bright ; My child will be shrouded and buried to-night. They drew the door of her death-room back, There slumbered she in her coffin black : The first he lifted the veil from the dead, And bared his curie, and headed, and said, " Ah ! oonld'st thou bat live again, maiden here From this day forth I would love thee dear r The second spread softly the face-cloth again, And his tears fall fast as the midsummer rain : " Dead ! art thou, Lisbeth? cold, lip and brow ? " Ah God ! I learn how I loved thee now !" But the third in his hand did the little hand take, And kissed the white forehead, and smiled and spake, " I love thee to-day as I loved thee before, I shall love thee as truly for evermore." May Mr. Edwin Arnold direct his unquestionable abilities so judiciously that his name may hereafter be remembered Henry Lyle ; or, Life and Existence. By Emilia Marryatt. 2 vols. Chapman and Hall. We have here an interesting tale ; in some parts it is painful, but that is rendered requisite by the nature of the composition. Henry Lyle, the hero, is an instance of unfriended talent rising into emi nence by his exertions ; but the real object of the story is to exemplify . the inner world, the life which the soul is passing, in contradistinction to the mere animal existence of the body. Mr. Vere is perhaps rather exaggerated in detail, but there are many Such heartless and selfish characters extant, men who employ the gifts of their intellect to pervert truth, and to uphold wrong, who fascinate by their powers of pleasing, and confuse the weak, lead astray the wavering, and favour, by every moans in their power, the career of wickedness upon the earth. Henry Lyle is a bright exception to the ordinary class of peo ple it is to be feared, not but that some such may be seen occasionally to demon- strate that, though fallen, the human nature may rise again if it endeavours to approximate to a divine standard. It is not the wish of the authoress to make out that all honours and happiness attend on su ch a course ; on the contrary, it is seen that virtue is its own reward, in the inspiration to perform meritorious actions with which it animates iiis votaries, in the sense of right that they feel in all unjust persecutions s and in the calm with which they meet lesser evils. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace, was pecu liarly felt by Lyle from the commencement of his career until the end. It is a touching instance of the good that can be effected by kindness, in the record of his doings among the poorer class of his neighbours. The news of his death caused a dark day in the courts and lanes where be had been a - ministering spirit to the cares and sorrows of the inmates. Philip, the cons.o of A u g usta, th e he -1 roine, and the wife of Lyle, is n fine character, , who struggles .to overcome himself when he sees others in distress. - He resigned his condi). to hiS friend, - and - in their hour of need he sent them tire produce of his labours i n another country,-to which he had departed to efface old impressions. Valentine Leigh is an instance of the incalculable harm that is effected by the thoughtless and hula lent who fall into bad company, and are only 1 stedfast in one thing, not to try to do right. With one trouble and another, Henry Lyle did not pass his short life very happily, in the common acceptation of the term; but the ephemeral and transitory duration of that feeling, as relates to earthly sensations, could never be the attendant of his exalted aims or the compa nion of his unselfish nature. The mean and paltry worldlingsaround him could not comprehend him or his motives ; it was the peace th a t p asse d th e i r understanding which was the crown and glory o his life. Augusta is of an excellent and noble dispo sition, improving as she gained experience, and ge n nine in action, thought, and word.. Those who are pleased with stories that relate to feeling more than action, and that seek to impart instruction more than they strive to convey amusement, will find in these pages a subject worthy of their regard and respect. Those who prefer the unreflective and lighter style will yet acknowledge that this is of a high character, for its principl es are p ure , its aim exalted, and its precepts admonish, that we must follow the fashions of another world than this, if we would lead a life worthy of living for. The Seinde Railway. By W. P. Andrew, Esq. Wm. H. Allen and Co. Mr. Andrew is known as " The Old Postmaster," to an important section of the community as the author of several works on Indian Railways. In the present work he points out the relations of the Scinde Railway to the various routes to India, and its probable effects in developing the vast resources of the Punjaub, and supplies details of a project to connect the Mediterranean and the Euphrates by railway, and thereby establish a route via the Per sian Gulf to all parts of India, by which at the outset the communication will be shortened nearly one-half. In support of the undertaking he ad vances a mass of testimony, official and otherwise, from which it appears the feasibility of the scheme has been recognised from the date of the surveys by General Chesney, and the greatest probability exists of its being speedily accomplished. The line from the port of Seleucia to Jaber Castle, on the Euphrates, is about 80 miles in length. From this point the river becomes navigable to Bursorah, at the head of the Persian Gulf, a distance of 715 miles. The course from Bursorah is nearly straight for steamers to Kurrachee, the terminus of the Scinde Railway, and a port of great natural faci lities, with a population of 30,000. The route is thus connected with the Indus, which is navig able for steamers to Mooltan, which it is proposed by the author to connect by rail with Lahore and the Punjaub. The route, as traced on the map, seems to be unusually direct ; and if reliance is to be placed on the official and other testimony in its favour, which we see no reason to doubt, the scheme is one deserving of every encouragement. The Law Magazine. The number opens with an article—the first, we believe, of a series—on the " History of Jurispru dence," the subject matter being " The Writings of Puffendorf and Leibnitz." " The Constitutional History of Jersey, by M. Charles Le Quesne-J urat," of the Royal Court of Jersey, and member of the States, next passes under review, and is followed by an article on " Life Peerages," explanatory of the grounds on which "all lawyers are now satis fied that there exists no such power in the Crown as that of which the Ministers, without inquiry, almost without reflection, advised the exercise." The contemplated reduction of the salaries of judges of " County Courts," by the Lord Chancel lor's bill, is strongly protested against. A notice able paper, on " The Four Heirs to Sovereignty in France," is designed to show h ow remar k a bl y ana lagous have been the circumstances under which these heirs—to wit, the King of Rome, the Duc de Bordeaux, the Comte de Paris, and the present Prince—have been born. While conceding to the last named the better chance of reigning, and " due praise" also to Napoleon ni, for boldly re cognising the aforesaid analogy, the writer by no means expresses a lively faith in the Imperial des tiny of the " Child of France." A straw thrown up will show how the wind blows. In the article on Life Peerage, it will also be observed, some stria gent remarks are inserted on the slavery of the French press. Among the remaining articles may be noticed—" A Review of the' Reports of the Charity Commissioners for England and Wales (1854, 1855, 1856)," and another of the "Papers of the Society for Promoting the Amendment of the Law." Signs of the Times. By Christian Charles Josias Bunsen. Smith, Elder, and Co. Another and not the least valuable contribution to the cause of civil and religious liberty by this celebrated author. In a series of letters addressed to Ernest Moritz Arndt, Chevalier Bunsen takes a aurvey of the world, and points out the dangers to which religious liberty is exposed. That this is done with consummate ability those who are ac quainted with the European reputation of the writer will not require to be assured, while to many it will be a source of gratification to know that the conclusions to which ho arrives are hopeful for the cause he has at heart. Of the two great signs of the times he remarks—" The spirit of association, with its liberty, is the genius and the demon of the dawning day ; the hierarchy, with its tyranny, is the waning planet of departing night." They (the Catholic people) and we are journeying by separate paths towards the same goal, but as to what that goal is we are philosophically and historically at one with each other throughout Europe —we with them and they with us. It is legal religious liberty with its consequences." The work has been translated from the German by Susanna Wink worth, author of " The Life of Niebuhr." Post Office Directory of Gloucestershire, with Bath, Bristol, ilerefordshire, and Shropshire. Kelly and Co. T►.ie well-known character of the publishers is a suffiCient guarantee for the accuracy of this the first edition of the Post Office Gloucestershire, &c., Directory, while with regard to copiousness of in formation, all that is necessary to say is the work is got up on the same plan as the Directories by the same publishers of other counties, which embrace every city, town, village, . hamlet, and country seat therein. A well-digested Index facilitates reference, the work is neatly got up, and in every respect reflects credit on the publishers. The proof sheets, we are told, have been corrected by clergy men and other gentlemen of local knowledge, thus affording an additional guarantee of its accuracy. The Directory is accompanied by maps engraved expressly for it, and corrected up to the time of publication. Manual of Quotations. By E. H. Michelsen, Ph. D. John Orockford. A ne or, enlarged (almost doubled), and greatly improved edition of " M ac d onne ll' s Dictionary of Quotations," which was so popular as to pass through several editioz.)s. The range of quotations is extended in the present, and includes law phrases, proverbs, and family mottoes in rich abundance. In a word, it is a book to buy, to mas ter, and to refer to. EXIIIBITION OF TEE ART TREASURES OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. The contemplated Fine Arts Exhibition in Man chester in 1857 is exciting the liveliest interest throughout the country. The following letter h as been received by the ex ecutive committee, and numerous promises of co-operation and supp or t have been made by the leading collectors and possesso rs of ancient and modern pictures and statuary : " Carlton•gardens, May 22. sir,—l observe in the public papers of this morning an announcement of the determination of the inhabitants of Manchester to hold lan exhibition of the art treasures of the United Kingdom in the course of the ensuing year accompanied with a list of contributors to the necessary guarantee fund. If the addition of my name as a contributor to the amount of 1,060/. to this guarantee fund will be acceptaVe to the other subscribers, it will be a gratification to me to be associated with them on this occasion. " No man cm have better reason than I have to be well assured that whatever purpose the inhabitants of Manchester deliberately undertake they will carry out efficiently upon their own responsibility and with their own resources ; and that they will repudiate, rather than welcome, the extraneous aid of strangers. But I trust they will not think that this principle is In any degree violated by permitting me to co-operate with them in the present undertaking, as I can safely assure them that no thing could be more painful to me than the supposition that the varied associations by which I have through life been connected with the town of Maneheaterare now altogether dissolved.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your faithful servant, OVERSTONE. "The Mayor of Manchester, &o." TRAGIC EVENT IN THE TYROL.—The Revue Franco. Italienne reports a terrible even t as hav ing occurred re cently at Bolzano, in the Italian Tyrol. A schoolboy of the town school threw a stone at a peacock belonging,to the masters, and killed it. The father of the child; when he heard of the circumstance, came f orwar d vo l un t ar ily to par the value of the bud. But th e two masters, who were priests, determined that the child must, neverthe less, receive exemplary chastisement. At a moment when all other scholars went out for a walk the " Mur derer" of the peacock was detained, and beaten till his back was broken. He died on the spot. The father, who was sent for by people who heard the cries of the camec.at once to the school, and seeing his infant dead, fell upon the two priests and killed them by re• peatod stabs with alr Bade.
