LONDON, MONDAY, APRIL 29, 1881. Another arrival from America brings information of the President's response to the fall of Fort Sumter—it is tantamount to a declaration of war against Rebellion. In this proclamation which the President specifies by name seven seced ing States, and declares that they have now for some time opposed the due execution of the laws by combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary means, and that he therefore calls forth the Militia of the States to the aggregate number of 75,000 men. He also finds in the present state of affairs an extraordinary occasion, such as was contemplated by the Constitution, for summoning a special Congress, which he calls accordingly—not, however, at once, but for the 4th of July-. This is what he has done. If we ask his object in all this, he tells us that it is "to maintain the power, the integrity, and the existence of our national Union, and the perpetuity of popular Go vernment, and to redress wrongs already long enough endured. That his first practical effort will " probably be to repossess the forts, places, and property which have been seized from the Union," in doing which all possible care will be taken to avoid injury to property and to all peaceable persons, Those who have entered into the combinations denounced by the proclamation are warned to retire peaceably from them within twenty days from its date, (the 15th of April.) His purpose in calling the Congress together is " to consider and determine such measures, as in their wisdom the public safety and interest may seem to demand. Thus, as far as the words of a solemn public docu ment are concerned, war is declared ; the 75,000 militia are" to suppress said combinations, and to cause the laws to be duly executed," and with the halting ;word " probably," the reconquest of the forts, and regaining of all federal property is announced as one of the first measures to be at tempted. Looking impartially at all the 'Axe. stances, there seems to have been a desire on each side to provoke or tempt the other to be the first to commence war. If it were so, Mr. LINCOLN has been the cleverer, for he has led the Southerns across the American Ticino, and they have to bear the blame of firing the first shot, with, however, the unparalleled result of killing, almost of wound ing, none on either side. The blood of Federal troops has not been shed, but a federal fort is in the hands of the Confederation. The commencement of the war wants, happily, one of the most irritat ing things in such cases ; yet, it was as truly an outrage on the Flag of the Union, and a declara tion-of war on the part of the Seceders, as if the garrison had been, as all. M. LAmARTINE's defeated armies were," decimated." The PRESIDENT accepts it in this light. That the defeat was bloodless, was Accident, or a special Providence, according to one's creed; that the United States have been defeated in a petty encennter, is the undeniable fact, and the Ruler, for the time being, of the United States prepares to redress the disgrace and the wrong. There is something, however, in the general tone of the proclamation which suggests the possibility that immediate action is not likely. Congress was not to assemble for seven or eight weeks; and the threat of repossessing himself of the forts, &c., is, as we have seen, introduced with a qualifying ex pression. Mr. LINCOLN may only intend to place himself in the formal position which the attack on the fort required, and may especially have had in view the threatened attack on Washington itself. Should such an act be ventured by the Southerners, 11110 are desperate enough for almost anything, then, indeed, we might expect a long, exhausting, and bloody strife, which would enfeeble the entire States, am end in a rising of the slaves and the extermination, or possibly flight of the greater part of the Southern whites. It wo u ld i n f ur i ate the North, and pa s • 4 lon would overpower every pru dential conside.ratioth Even as it i s , th e sp i r i t of the North is rling fea r (Illy.

Sup ported by Hermann Vain, Ryder, Meadows, ; Misses R ea th, Elaworthy, and R. Leelereq. GARIBALDI, as we intimated on Saturday, has nobly closed his recent contentions at Turin by a general and magnanimous reconciliation. He has come to a satisfactory understanding at last with CATOUR--he has again grasped the hand of fellow ship with CIALDINI. But—at the same time it should be remembered—he has boldly and frankly spoken out the whole truth to each of them. He has done this before the Italian Parliament. He has done this consequently;so to speak, in the sight and in the hearing of all Christendom. GARIBALDI'S reconciliation, therefore, must be regarded in no way whatever as a mere compromise. He has car ried his point throughout. His opinions remain the same in regard to the infamous cession of Nice and Savoy—that most discreditable act by which Count CAVOI,R rendered GARIBALDI, as the latter himself expressed it—rendered GARIBALDI, of all the men in the wide world, " A foreigner in his own country." Upon that atrocious con cession of CAVOUR'S to the territorial greed of the French EMPEROR, GARIBALDI still looks back with scorn and indignation. He still bears painfully in remembrance the notorious fact, that he has been allowed to fight the battle of Italy all along so far in the French EMPEROR'S eyes upon sufferance. Have any of us forgotten how in his Imperial MAJESTY'S despatches from the battle plains of Lombardy, the name of GARIBALDI, fighting grandly though he was all the while under the southern shadow of the Carpathians, was meanly, despicably tabooed altogether. Not one syllable of comment, to say nothing of generous tribute, was ever penned during the whole of the North Italian Campaign by he Emperor-Generalissimo or by any one of his MAJESTY'S Marshal-Lieutenants in reference to that dauntless hero, who upon the skirts of the vast army of the Allies was performing day by day prodigies of valour, at the head of his little band of Volunteers —since famous in both hemispheres as the Garibaldians. Not one syllable of comment, to say nothing of a tribute at once eulogistic and magnanimous! Again—GARIBALDI has not forgotton, cannot, we may be quite, certain of this, very easily lose the recollection of the man ner in which he was ecnstrained to cast the whole fortunes of the Italian War of Independence upon the hazard of a die, when, quitting Genoa with his daring phalanx of followers, he hastened Persius like southwards to release Sicily as the new An dromeda. Uncountenanced by France, and—b y reason of the French policy—unaided overtly by Sardinia, GARIBALDI, when he left the bay of Genoa on his voyage to Marsala, might have echoed the words of JULIUS to the seamen,Ccesarem vehis ! Upon that one man everything was then depen dent, upon his sword, Italia, but trusting at that crisis in her destiny confident that it would prove no broken reed under her hand, but that it and it alone would be found capable when the hour had struck of cleaving in twain at a blow the Gordian Knot of her difficulties. After the accomplishment of that wonderful enterprise, when, under the guidance of GARIBALDI, a mere handful of men had compelled a royal army, twenty thousand strong, to lay down its arms and yield up the Sicilian soil entirely to its thousand. deliverers —when, a little later on, GARIBALDI alone, without his Garibaldians, had taken train for Naples, and there entered the capital of the Southern Italian Kingdom, though seemingly a mere ordi nary railway traveller, as a conqueror and a deliverer--after the accomplishment of that won derful enterprise we all remembered how literally this great man emulated the self-abnegation of a CINCINNATITS and a WASHINGTON of any measures the Government may take, and the leaders of all parties are enthusiastic for vigorous measures until the Rebellion is " crushed cut." From all the Free States offers of troops to a greater extent than is required are rapidly arriving, and it is evident that the public spirit of the North is kindled to a high degree of intensity only by the comparatively small affair of Fort Sumter. Whether Mr. LINCOLN means to aot with the decision which some of the facts we have mentioned appear to indicate, remains to be seen. He would have no easy task at the beginning; his preparations are not relatively so advanced as those of the South ; but should the conflict become long and serious, his navy, and his resources in money, and in the power to manufacture military requisites, must give him an immense advantage. Nor can we, in this country at least, easily believe that the moral advantage of being en the side of justice, of right, of freedom, in ighting with the scoundrel cause of slavery, will not be an immense advantage. England cannot forget, we hope even Manchester will not, that these seven seceded States are ready to shed blood in defence of slavery, and of slavery the most cruel and oppres sive which ever disgraced the earth. We would rather bloodshed indeed were avoided, but if war there must be, the prayer of every Englishman must ascend to Heaven with that of the negro, and not with that of his hardened and malignant oppressor. Let not the South reckon too much on Lancashire. We need cotton, it is true, but slavery we cannot endure, and let the consequences to us be what they might, we believe the vast majority of Englishmen would rejoice to hear that the result of a war was that slaveholders were thoroughly beaten and their slaves emancipated. Cotton we should soon get elsewhere. Get rid of Sir CHAS. WOOD for Lord STANLEY, and send Sir JOHN LAWRENCE to India, and we should soon have cotton, and in plenty from our own territory. In any case we do not believe that cotton would long be wanting. The demand would stimulate in genuity and exertion, and it would soon be swept to our shores, by a wide spread and determined effort, which needs some such provocative to call it forth, and thus to terminate the accursed system for which seven States, full of tyrants far worse than European Czars, Emperors, and Kings, are now ready to shed blood. Exacter accounts of the attack, defence, and sur render of Fort Sumter contain many particulars of interest. One fact may be well worth the attention of Lord PALMERSTON—the complete success of rapidly-constructed defences of extemporised mate rials. They illustrate the views of General BuR GOYNE, confirmed, indeed, as they were by the achievements of TOTLEBEN, that earthworks and sand bags may soon be made capable of sustaining any fire. We are informed that the earthworks were expressly constructed " that the artillerists might be protected from the enemy's fire ;" and that, though " Major ANDERSON'S guns were well served, yet no one on shore was killed. It is therefore to science that we must attribute the bloodless character of this terrific bombardment, and not to want of skill in the use of guns." New Orleans and its defence from works constructed of cotton bags is also called to mind, and the American writer regards the whole as giving them an admir able lesson on the comparative ease of constructing impregnable coast defences. We hope our Govern ments will all consider well what they do before they sink irrecoverable millions of money on Ports down Hill. To meet what is so unlikely to occur as a hostile attack from thence, JONATHAN has shown us what we could do at a few hours' notice ,_ .~, .: THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 29, 1861 Europe could not note without emotion that the sword of GARIBALDI had no sooner stricken the chains of despotism off the Neapolitan population than it was calmly sheathed, while GARIBALDI himself escaped from the toils and responsibilities of a supreme dictatorship to recruit his health at Caprera, in his little Island Hermi tage. And what alone hurried him back even tually upon the public scene was—we are all vividly conscious of this also—not any impulse whatever of personal ambition, not any incentive at all of individual vanity, but that strong, all mastering, fraternal sympathy that bound him in life and death to his companions in arms, officers and men, his heroic folio were, the Geri baldians. On their behalf and in the interests of the Italian peninsula, GARIBALDI tore himself reluctantly from his retirement in Caprera, and hastening to Turin, there, in the Legislative Cham ber, ascended the tribune, soldier though he is, orator though he is not, essentially a man of acts rather than a man of words either spoken or written, ascended the tribune and there—speaking " the truth, the whole truth, and (as he believed it) nothing but the truth" right — out, made a clean breast of it in the presence andliearing of his fellow legislators, the assembled Italian representatives. The Ministry were infuriated, the Chief Minister of all (CATouR) was especially infuriated. The Assembly was in a tumult. The President rang his bell, put on his hat, suspended the sittings, and, even when the business of the Legislature was resumed, satisfied his conscience as Speaker of the Italian House of Commons by energetically reprimanding and calling to order—GARIBALDI ! Yet GARIBALDI still spoke plainly—retracted no thing—insisted upon the necessity of doing justice to his followers, maintained the absolute need there is, a need since admitted and recognized, for calling out a new and yet grander Italian armament. Since then the Soldier of Italy has conversed with the SOVEREIGN. And the latter has to the delight of—it would be difficult to say how many —millions both in and out of the Italian peninsula, brought CAVOUR and CIALDINI in turn amicably face to face with GARIBALDI. The re conciliation of these men is better for the interests of the popular cause in Italy than the calling out of a supplementary 50,000 strong. It is so re garded in Italy. It is so looked upon far and wide through Christendom. And now that the recon ciliation we are alluding to is glanced back at, how ever casually—it cannot but be felt that the one man, whose dignity has been preserved throughout, in point of fact, is the very one whose self-respect was thought by some to have been so often jeopardised in'the course of these transactions. GARIBALDI has carried his point—he has yielded nothing. He has been insisting simply upon justice for his friends and companions. That justice, thanks to his interposition in their favour, will no longer be denied to them. He has been pleading in behalf of the only reasonable course lying open before those who wish well in earnest to the cause for which GARIBALDI has been him self so long and so heroically fighting. And all the while he still looks with horror to the remem brance of that execrable yielding up to France of Nice and Savoy, with their live stock, in the shape of two million Nizzards and Savoyards. No doubt can now remain that the massacre of he Poles, at Warsaw, was preconcerted—pre arranged deliberately by a savage and ruthless Governor, who refused to listen even to the re monstrances of the brave generals whom he ordered to perform his bloody behests. It is difficult also, now, not to father this atrocity upon the CZAR himself, slow as we were to believe that the eman cipator of his own serfs could be the willing murderer of unarmed Poles peacefully asking for the most obvious rights. All the efforts of Russia to denationalise the Poles have utterly failed. The Poles, though speaking a language very similar to the Russian; both languages being mutually intelligible dialects of the Sclavonic, will adhere to their own tongue ; schools have been worked in vain against the national feeling ; and Russia still has no better means to extort sub mission than those of the last century and the former part of the present one —the means by which Austria secures obedience in Venetia. A letter from Posen gives details of the massacre which have the aspect of truth. It appears that the Russian soldiers who reside in Warsaw, 22,000 in number, soon acquire a friendly feeling towards the Poles. GORTSCHAKOFF dared not, therefore, Order them at first to fire on the unarmed petitioners who desired to send, through him, their petitions to the CZAR. He temporized, he promised liberally, till he had gathered together a large number of strange Russian soldiers, and with these he soon went to work. It is now certain that not only did some of his higher officers remonstrate, but that one blew his brains out rather than obey orders, and that three were afterwards shot by order of court-martial for not killing unarmed men and Women. Europe has now to consider how it shall hence forth regard the Czar ALEXANDER 11. Warsaw seems to have proved again the truth of NAPO LEON'S saying, " That a Russian was but a Tartar with a varnish of European civilisation —scratch a Russian and you'll find the Tartar beneath." A Tartar, indeed! could any monarch be found in civilised Europe to plan the atrocity of the Bth in Poland ? The Hapsburgs are perhaps the only other rulers capable of such blood -chilling crimes. Tbey, like the Romanoffs, regard treachery and massacre of the unarmed as the legitimate weapons of royalty against liberty. The Russian Czar must, we fear, be now remitted to the long list of Imperial wretches who have been, not wolves, but tigers in sheep's clothing —who have talked of mildness while washing their hands in innocent and noble blood Viscountess Palmerston had an assembly on Saturday evening at Cambridge House.

Madame Decker's deep con tralto notes are quite a marvel in female vocalisation, and Mdlle. Keller's soprano voice is nct only excellent in quality, but managed with so much ability as to elicit frequent applause. Madlle. Claussen's lively and humorous songs are particularly attractive, and her introduction of an Eng lish song, " The Captain," takes the fancy of the audience greatly, being always enoored.

WOODIN, Lablaehe, and a snortle like incipient apoplexy, when, in a twinkling, he is perhaps bowing to his audience, in propria persona, over the moveable lid of one of his desk cabinets, adjusting bis white cravat, or arranging his own hair, or buttoning one of his white kid gloves, with the most amazingly serene and imperturbable of countenances. Hardly has he announced in half a dozen words the inter view he has had with another wayfarer in life, when again, in a twinkling, he is airing a new costume, in the full glare of the footlights —arrayed from top to toe as a lady of the last century, arrayed in fact from the glossy braid of her tresses to the dainty point of her satin slipper in the utmost amplitude and delicacy of (we may fairly use the phrase in this age of steel hoops and crinoline) her feminine "surroundings." Here in literal truth, in the person of Mr. Woodin, we have realised before our gaze that well-known couplet in Dryden's " Absolom and Achitophel"— "4 man so various that he seemed to be Not ONE but all mankind's cpitoms !" And he is not merely in the strictest sense of the words "A Host in himself"--as the giver of these Entertainments. He is more than that—he is him self A whole Company into the bargain. Yet though he is in this manner, as we have said, him self a whole Company—Heavy Father, Walking Gentleman, Duenna, Lover (of either sex), and so forth—he could not possibly (remembering the swiftness of his changes), there is, at any rate, this to be said, he could not possibly complete the Com pany by being—Prompter. Supposing Sophocles again to be in the ascendant amongst us, or any other of the Greek Tragedians —we all remember " Antigone" and the Vandenhoffs—we would earnestly recommend the selection of Mr. Woodin as—the Chorus. Speaking to us as he does in so many voices, appearing before us as he does in so many shapes, one might almost be bewildered at last into the notion that his must be some disembodied spirits (" high spirits," surely) entering at pleasure into the semblance of certain individualities ; one might occasionally, we say, be bewildered into this notion, so confused is our recollection of his identity—but that there he is repeatedly " himself again" like Richard--the genuine Simon Pure in the snow-white linen, the dress coat and the black broad-cloth "continua tions." Yet, while admitting him (solely by reason of these perpetual reminders of his identity) to be in point of fact, like the rest of us, an actual Noun Substantive—we must insist upon it, at any rate, that if he is a Noun at all he must certainly be a Noun of Multitude —signifying many. Never was the truth of Shakspere's philosophic summary of human life more signally verified than in Woodin that comprehensive assertion that— " ONE MAN his time plays many parts." While the application of the line may be here still further emphasised by avowing, in regard to Mr, Woodin's rapidity of impersonation, that there is but " one man" who " in his time" [the whole enter tainment, as we have remarked occupies but two hours altogether] " plays (so) many parts." And these the mere " Characters " represented by Mr. Woodin in his entertainment—how are they even to be here passing7y enumerated ? Dividing the body of Lon don Life adroitly, with a few trenchant syllables into Four Quarters —passing through Spring with its Fashion able Marriages, Public Dinners and Derby Day; through Summer with its Excursionists ; through Autumn with its Tourists ; through Winter with its Entertainments —who, and what, and where are not the chosen Characters? Snuffy old Mrs. Poppies, the Pew Opener, with her benedictions upon the bride and bridegroom, interrupted by an incongruous growl over her douceur —" only a beg garly half-crowned." Tom Dibbs, the little shriek ing blackguard charity boy, all grin and muffin-cap —scared away the instant afterwards by the stupen dous Goldknot, the very Beadle of Beadledom. sir. Bobbles, the delightful Secretary of the Great Um brella Lending Association—cheering himself on as he reads the report for the last twelvemonth by interpolated shouts of Rear ! Hear! from the depths of his neckcloth. As to the Epsom Downs on Derby Day—Mr. Woodin seems to crowd himself off the stage altogether, so that we lose sight of him entiroly for u while—he seems abso lutely to crowd himself off the stage with—red coated Flying Jack, the vender of the c'rect card, the whiskered Betting Gentleman, the black-haired, scarlet-cloaked Gipsy Fortune-teller, and the Ticket eef-Leave-looking Thimble Rigger, who in the midst of his hoarse patter bobs himself, table, thine hies, pea and all out of existence, on catching sight of the coming—" Police." Added to these and a swarm of others—the dirty cokernut-seller, the clean capped and aproned gingerbread-seller, the owner (or shall we say the nephew) of Aunt Sally, the Veiled (bonvivant) Mordekana of the Borouche, the Tiddy Toddy tooler of the chaise and pair, with dear old Mrs. Aldgate Pump of the dilapidated Dogcart, and that wonderful spangled india rubber acrobat Herr Jacobo Johnsonini. Have we not, moreover, immediately afterwards brought before us, at full length and in startling contrast to each other, that garrulous old pragmatic Mr. Rodney Hook, the meditative angler "with weak nerves and strong objections," eagerly in quest of quiet and the picturesque—and, haunting his foot step, literally dogging his footsteps, Thomas Gubbins, the Ostler, ever scratching that oakum head of his, that looks as if it wanted grooming with a currycomb, seeking a purchaser for a tidy dawg," at something, of cou rse , lik e " a tidy price," visibly bringing with him about his frowzy dress the strongest flavour of stableyard ammonia. Hardly has Gubbins done scratching his shock-head with the haft of the clasp-knife with which he is carving his peripatetic dinner, while talking to us in appropriate . growls about his "dawg," when he (the Ostler of the Red Lion) is summarily replaced by the buxom Landlady of the same. Widow Whimperley, to wit : with her pre posterous reminiscence of having had the question popped to her on the top of the Monument, and with those decoying glances of hers so plainly ask ing to have it popped again, that they must in fallibly have thrown old Mr. Weller, by the mere sense of his peril, into a cold and profuse perspira tion. Among the happiest of Mr. Woodin's kit-cat portraits from the life, those ingenious half-lengths suddenly produced from the recesses of his Cabinet of Curiosities, commend us to Mr. Winelees, the semi-inebriated gentleman, who is in such dire and lengthened confusion about his hat—to Deborah Gunn, the boisterous old bathing woman—and to Sampson Stentor, the town crier, bawling out his incoherent announcements with the most ludicrous contempt for punctuation. As for the more finished and more carefully elaborated delineations —don't we all know perfectly well that heavy sg ell, Mr. Halcyon Higgins, possessor of a yacht and hater of all " bawt her," who smokes a meer schaum (we are intimate with the very aroma of his cavendish), and who possesses an invaluable nauti cal auxiliary in the dapper form of Jones, the Skipper ? As to Jones himself, can't he spin a yarn with the best of them, and dance a hornpipe with the agility of a sea harlequin! Our Polyphonist's all, skill in the articulation ofpatois, by the way, is not Would I.e. the least surprising of his many gifts es a deline ator of the types of national character. Instance his Cornish miner, with his wonderful subterranean METEL sort of ballad chant—his Welch girl with her pretty This Day, guttural ditty—his flaxen-h ea d e d countrybumpkin, t - ,etween 8 and' B.

LI2'ERATURE. All for the Best : a Story of Quiet Life. 3 vols. Hurst and Blackett. This is a story of domestic life which does not detail any very remarkable events, but tells is an effective manner the record of home joys and sor' rows which influence so powerfully the course of human existence. The two sisters, who principally' engage our attention, are different in disposition, but both estimable. Mabel is an excitable and enthusiastic girl, who is always restlessly endea vouring to do something grand, and tormenting herself and others by her vague speculations and unsettled habits. The diary which she keeps illustrates in a forcible style her various phases of mind and the devious turnings she took before she arrived at a happy stage of progress. Maud's history is far more simple in its short sad tenour. She was one of those gentle gracious beings who are occasionally met with in the dark paths of sad mortality, as if to show us how bright and beautiful human nature can become. She was the guiding influence of the house, though she was much younger than Mabel. She was en' gaged to Stephen Roden shortly after the commence' went w the story. He was agent to a duke in the neighbourhood, and was a man in every way fitted for Maud, from his high principle and kind heart. For a few short months all went happily with them, and then— " As they descended, following hope, There sat the shadow feared of man." A fatal accident on the railway terminated Stephen's life, a few weeks before their wedding' day, and Maud was left on the threshold of exis tence to sorrow over the heaviest calamity that could befall her. The passages that record this era of her life are very beautifully written, and convey in an earnest spirit the depths of the affliction and the Christian faith with which she was enabled to meet it. As Maud wandered over the garden, and by the woodlands of her home, she was, after the first bitter agony had been past, able to look calmly around her, and, amil the smiling beauty of the summer luxuriance which surrounded her, to look through nature up to nature's God. She would never say goodbye to Stephen any more. Henceforth there would be no parting between them ; never more, indeed, to hold any speech with him of years on earth to come ; but not the less truly hers, in all present and coming times, chosen perhaps by his father, and her father to be one of those ministering spirits who do always keep watch and guard over the children of the kingdom. Further on it is told us how she loved to dwell on " the pleasant words of Stephen, the last she had ever heard him speak, " After all, Maud, it is only a little while." It was thus through this burning baptism of tears, and afterwards across this kingly threshold of hope, that Maud Harcourt passed from girlhood to womanhood." The events of Mabel's career were very different, but by degrees we find her learning patience and imbibing hope in her experience of life, and when she records this passage in her diary she was nearly following the footsteps of her sister Maud. "But, after all, it is only a little while, the weariness will be past by and bye. There will be nothing of this to think of, to murmur over, in that glorious coming time, when in the g rea t e t ern i ty we shall awake and find it day." She was married soon after Maud's trial, as she wished nothing to be different on her account, and Maud was left to perform her duties, more than ever appearing as an angel spirit doing good to all around her. The motto of the book is a very beautiful one, " So He bringeth them to the haven where they would be." In its earthly sense Maud had long ago reached it, in a heart at peace within, but Mabel was some time before she had _passed the rough waves on which she was tossing when we first beheld her. It was some years before Maud was taken to the real haven where only ca'i the spirit rest, where the waves of this troublesome world have been left for ever. The description of Maud's death is a touching scene, replete with calm and so.ernnity. At the beginning of her trouble we were told that " she was able to look forth clearly and steadily unto the land that is very far off," and this happy gift of vision did not desert her at the last. There are one or two well described indivi duals met with in these pages, as, for instance, Mrs. Tresilis and Miss Gabbatis. The former in her beauty and her loveliness forms a melancholy object of interest, and it is a relief to learn that she soon sunk to rest and found her grave close to the shores of that sea she so loved. Miss Gabbatis is a good specimen of a village gossip, but she is a very harmless one, and all look forward to her visits with pleasure. This story of a Quiet Life may contain more useful information and convey more desirable hints than many grander and more demonstrative works. It tells of the simplest occur rences in an impressive manner, and the great lessons of life and death are only to be learned in solitude and reflection. The- author has had at heart to teach all readers how to look for quiet in the stormy scenes of a world at strife, and where the haven lies in which the weary voyagers may look for peace when— " The I, torm4 are weathered and the ocean crossed." The last scene of Mud' s life is thus described:— " Once more, and for the last time, ere it was given to her again for ever there came that far-back little golden year of hope—the hope that had changed the current of her whole life, and whose loss ha,i worked for her such noble compen sation. It came to her in its earthly likeness for just one more loving look, and she said farewell to it very quietly, knowing that it would be only a little while before she saw it again transfigured into heavenly beauty, hers for ever, standing in the light of the new world the shadows of this one passed away, and she remembered only the joy. Draw ing so near, step by step, to the eternal gates, where no thought of sadness might find leave to enter, the angel of sorrow that had accompanied her through all these years let fall his gar b o f mourn i ng, an d she beheld him as one of the shining ones. What need, then, for the glory to come down upon her face as she thought of these things ; and then bending over her, Miss Nunby saw that the light upon her face was given there by the lingering sunlight only. It was all over, the "little while" so long waited for. so patiently endured, was come at last. Stephen and Maud would never have to part any more now, never any more at all, ' And so He bringeth them unto the haven where they would be,' " THE WEATHER.

Yesterday, at four p.m., the drums'of this National Guard beat a general alarm, and numerous patrols traversed the streets. Numerous arrests have been made among crimi nals who had escaped from prison and alsiumed the uniform of the National Guard. The events of yesterday were the n3sult of a Bourbon conspiracy. News from the provinces announces tlz at a reac tionary movement had been made by some Bourbon soldiers and brigands, who were preparimp ; to march on Naples in the belief that the reactionnary move ment had succeeded there. Five hundred brigands had entered filt e Roman States, in the province of Aquila. Four vessels having left Civita Veochia for Naples with Bourbon soldiers and brigans ds on board, an Italian war vessel has gone to meet t b em. The officers of the National Guard at W:aples have, in the name of the entire corps, protested in the Pungolo against the events of yesterday, declaring at the same time that they are ready - to defend the Government.

The treaty between Switzerland and Italy for carrying a railway over the Luckmanier has been concluded. Switzerland is to contribute 48,000,00 C T. towards .he cost of construction. The treaty also stipulates that when 25000,000 f. of this amount shall have been guaran G aed, and 5 ,000,000 f. actually spent on the constr ti ction of the railway, the kingdom of Italy will, within four years, contribute 20 ,000,000 f., which ill not, however, bear interest. It has been further stipulated that that cost of laying the railway over that portion of t e Alps between Dissentis and Olivone shall be ill :frayed by the kingdom of Italy. The canton of St. Gallen has alreatij . voted 5,000,0001. towards the expenses. At Christmas, Mr. W r ooDIN opened this his third entertainment. And, recollect, "the third—[cer tainly in this instance]—is the charm I" Already Four Months have elapsed since " The Cabinet of Curiosities" was first of all unlocked —appropriately enough upon Boxing Night ; and ever since then, with the solitary intermission of the one exceptional week immediately preceding Easter, the Polygra phic Hall has been crowded day after day with those lovers of fun whose delight is expressed alter nately through rounds of applause and peals of laughter. Everybody is familiarly acquainted with Mr. Woodin by this time. Insomuch that he may be set down confidently as one of the best known men in the United Kingdom —not in the metropolis merely, but all through the provinces, in England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and, we dare say, even in that little imperium in imperio yclept Berwick upon-Tweed. He has made the round of our forty shires, including the counties Palatine. Like one of our most popular novelists, he has forsaken the beaten track and taken "Rambles Beyond Rail ways." Supposing his bumps of locality to be as well developed as his bumps of individuality —and in that last mentioned particular don't we remember how truly "he speaks with most miraculous organ !"—his memory of the cities, boroughs, villages, hundreds (we might count them by thousands) through which he has flitted during the course of his provincial excursions, would ren der him an invaluable reviser of a newly perfected British Gazetteer. Talk of Sam Slick—as Mr. Bernal Osborne talked of him after his discursive I speech of Thursday evening in the House of Com mons, as an appropriate editor of " The Rambler" —we would back Woodin in that particular against a dozen Haliburtons. Yet, after all—intimately acquainted though the three kingdoms are by this time with this Human Hydra, W. S. Woodin, a man who really seems to have as many " heads" as the discourse of a Scotch Controversialist—it appears to us scarcely further back than the day before yesterday, when we had the first surprise of attending his " a. no. 1" perform ance. Nevertheless, looking back to dates —we find that no less than nine long, and to Mr. Woodin busy, years have elapsed since this seeming event of—just the day before yesterday! It was during the year after the Great Exhibition, it was in the year of the coup d'etat that our new Master (of the Revels) took all London by storm—with the aid of the quiet little device (for all the world like Somebody Else over the water) of one single night's Entertainment. Our Imperial ally, we all recollect —it was one of the most memorable little incidents of 1848—set forth originally to take possession of Paris, and through Paris, of France, carrying with him (just like Woodin!) a Carpet Bag. Hither moreover came his imperial highness the Prince President Woodin, in his turn eight years ago—as another conquering embodiment of that mysterious stranger the Man with the Carpet Bag. And when he set resolutely to work unpacking it, upon that first occasion of his public appearance in London in the principal room of the old Adelaide Gallery, hard by St. Martin's-in-the-fields, it would have been impossible even for Sir Charles Coldstream himself, gazing in upon it through the most super cilious spyglass, to have asserted that there was " nothing in it !" There seemed to be everything in it in the way of good humour and comicality— and not only everything, but everybody : old and young, man and woman, short and tall, stout and spindling—the victims of atrophy and the sufferers from elephantiasis. After wards when that übiquitous Carpet Bag had travelled pertinaciously hither and thither upon all the railroads, on all the coaches, in all the post chases we might fancy of the United Kingdom, the light-heeled bearer of it, the easily fitted wearer of all its motley contents, returns amongst us here in London not so much like " a giant" as like a whole Caravan of Giants " refreshed," appearing upon his second advent, not simply as the Man with the Carpet Bag, but as that plastic and elastic Jack-of-all-trades known in all large households as the Odd Man. The man who can turn his hand to anything--who can be for the nonce upon an in stant's notice, just anybody, Figaro la ! Figaro si ! the Oddest of all Odd Men, as it hap pened, illustrating again in his own person a very " Olio of Oddities !" Accomplishing this, moreover, so successfully that without wishing to be any more invidious than cassio—ail London declared Number Two, as compared with Number One (until then, as became it, " taken care of" sedulously) to be "more excellent than t'other.'' A preference chorussed during the last two or three years all through these islands, all through this little laughter-loving British Archipielago. And now—"bock agen,"asdeliberately as that canny Scot who knew so well where he was the best off, comesthe youngpolyphonist to his old often-trodded haunts in his own well-frequented Hall Polygra phic. As youthful as ever he is in appearance. As though scarcely nine weeks, to say nothing of nine yesrs, had elapsed since his earliest apparition in London as the giver of these Entertainments. His elegantly little thetstie completely and in parts exquisitely redecorated. His two little green tables of yore transformed each of them now into—a veritable " Cabinet of Curiosities." Himself the same slim, smiling, voluble, bright - eyed young Entertainer as ever his smooth shaven face, in spite of all its manifold contortions and tortuosities 'of feature while im personating his World of Characters, not yet seem ingly, even when scanned through the lens of an opera glass, "up to a wrinkle"—his costume, though (as a gentleman's evening dress, of course, should be invariably) simply black and white, yet altogether, in spite of that, the very pink of per fection. Yonder he stands before his audience, when the curtain rises evening after evening in his Polygraphic Hall telling them how glad he is to see them again, and explaining to them --while he is fitting on his white kid gloves—how, since they last met there, he has, during his progress through life, met with another singular variety of whimsi cal personages, whose introduction upon the scene (extracting them one by one from his Cabinet of Curiosities—into which they have been somehow conjured and there carefully enshrined) will con stitute the night's entertainment. After which— hey! Presto!—the wand of the Enchanter is waved—and the audience for two hours afterwards (with the single intermission of merely ten minutes between the first and second part of the per formance) is to all intents and purposes whisked away into the fairy regions of No-man's land—the stage of your true Polyphonist How possibly can NN e now describe the quickness, the diversity, the completeness, the inimitable ela boration of all Mr. Woodin's nightly transforma tions. Giftcd though the ablest critic may be— and it is superfluous to say that our modesty aspires not to that pre - eminence—as well might Mr. Hunt the water-colourist himself (though he can depict miraculously the rainbow sheen of a dead pilchard) attempt to paint the hues of some expiring dolphin. The spectator has scarcely begun to reconcile him- Self to the fact that Mr. Woodin has expanded into a Stout Gentleman let us say—some Stout Gentle man like one of their late Royal Highneeses—with a j double chin and an immense waistcoast, a voice like FRANCE. PARIS, AP3 tit, 27. The Petrie of this evening says :—" T he asser tion that the French army is to quit Rome is un founded. " France remains at Rome, not only to i as ure the security of the Holy Father, but because b er pre sence insures peace to Italy by permittin g her to continue her interior organisation and the develop ment of her institutions. The departur e of . the French from Rome would leave the be dl i geren t parties in presen ce o f each other, and woul it,within a short time b r i ng a b out a conflict betwee r a Austria and Piedmont. It is for this reason thf I,t all the Powers, with England at their head, see without regret the prolongation of our occupation cif Rome, which is likewise demanded by religious ' interests." The Pays of this evening says :—" A despatch received here announces that Francis 11. will shortly quit Rome." Another despatch . s vers the contrary.
