LITERARY GOSSIP. OCTOBE.R, 1856. An illustrated edition of the collected poems of Alfred Tennyson is understood to be in prepara tion. What exquisite themes for embellishment ! Scarcely a stanza of In Memoriam itself but has ins picture already visible enough to the mind's eye —ln Memoriam the most didactically abstracted and purely contemplative of the Poet Laureate's compositions ! His earlier, more sensuous, and, so to speak, more easily realisable effusions abound consequently with subjects yet more suggestive of the forms of beauty to the fancy of an artist-of the-pencil. " Lady Gndiva , " flitting from pillar to pillar—" Marianna" lamenting in the lonely moated Grange—the weird phautasies of the "Lady of Shallott"—the green shaws about that grand old " Talking Oak," Knee deep in the ferns of Sumner -place—the " Lady of Burleigh" finding a lord of high degree in the poor landscape painter Lilian"—" Eleauere"—"Margaret"—" Lady Clara Vere de Vere"—the "Vision of Fair Women" —the " Gardecer'sDaughter"—the"Miller'sDaugh ter :" what hints these for the crayon of a Cor bould, or the brush of a Millais, or the deftest needle in the ablest hand of any to be found among the more gifted members of the rare old Etching Club! Let us hope that the artists chosen to the enviable privilege of interpreting the dainty imaginings of the Laureate are not the selections from any one narrow coterie. They ought to include among them men of talents the most various and con trasting—so that we might light here, for example, upon some little elf-like sketch from the hand of Richard Doyle—here upon some sylvan glimpse of tangled greenery from that of Birket Foster—here upon some delicious dash of the modern comic from the hand of John Leech, say in illustration of Will Waterproof's ever-famous Monologue. And so on —Fancy-- 44 Pouring from her pi c t ure d urn " t og ether with— ., Thoughts that breathe and words that burn"— pee ps of fair forms and lovely landscapes, such as ma y most happily accord with those brilliantly shadowed forth in the magical camera of the verse of Tennyson. A two-shilling reprint of " Th'e Comic Black stone" has already followed hard upon the un timely fate of poor Gilbert Abbott A'Beckett. May we not hope to have a cheap collective repub lication of the best of the humorous writings of that wise wag—selected from all sorts of strange and scattered sources of fun and frolic—beginning with Figaro and ending with Punch—giving us the tid-bits of drollery squandered upon the face tious periodicals of the day by the most incor rigible and inexhaustible of Punsters ? The sug gestion is worthy the attention of Mr. A'Beckett's publishers, the Messrs. Bradbury and Evans, and of whoever may be the literary executors of the Comic Historian of Rome and England. The most remarkable and attractive of recent book announcements is beyond all doubt the one " leading off " the Messrs. Longman's catalogue of Forthcoming Publications—" A Year of Revolu tion. From a Journal kept in Paris in the year 1848. Three vols., Bvo. By the Marquess of Nor manby." What glimpses we may have through it into the very heart of that grand political chaos — what peeps behind the scenes, scenes trodden in the midst of flame and uproar by actors of such note as Guizot, and Thiers, and Arago, and La- Diartine Before the "Purple Tints of Paris" had deepened from the crimson of the bloodshed of civil war in the streets into the perfected violet of the second empire —before the vast and compli cated medley of incongruities became appropriately crowned at length by that strange and, so to speak, amphibious product of the Democratic Outburst of 1848, the complex and ontradictory designation of the Chief of the State, " Monseigneur, his Imperial Highness the Prince President of the French Re public"—a title abbreviated not two years after wards into that of His Imperial Majesty the Emperor Napoleon 111. It is impossible not to feel one's curiosity awakened by the promise of this journal kept at Paris during the Revolution of 1848, by her Britannic Majesty's Ambassador. A livelier set of three volumes, wa anticipate, than the yea-nay " Yes and No," given to the world some years since by the same noble lord when Earl of Mulgrave. The book-making novel writers of the day are hardly less industrious than hitherto, in the midst even of the paper cataract of red, yellow, green, purple, and parti-coloured cheap reprints littering the railway-stalls with so much rubbish as well as with so many literary masterpieces. Mrs. Trollope has her three bran new volumes—and Mrs. Gore the same—and Mr. G. P. R. James with his steam arm walking the old mechanical pen over the same well-accustomed amount. of letter press. While Mr. Ainsworth, in a more econo mical spirit, dribbles out chapter by chapter of his niggardly 4 " Spendthrift " through the pages of that same Bentley's Miscellany, to which some eighteen years ago he contributed, in a somewhat more ani mated and picturesque spirit, the record of the ad venturous rogueries of that arrant young scape grace "Jack Sheppard," victim of Jonathan Wild, and friend of Blueskin. As to the cheap reprints already cursorily alluded to, they still hold possession of the book market, in a great measure to the depreciation of all costlier and more pretentious publications. Dickens, Bulwer, Warren, Thackoray, Disraeli, Ainsworth, James, Cooper, Jerrold, Irving— among the recent and present chiefs of light litera ture, have set an example that has already proved, and is now every d a y p rov i rg more an d mo re, con tagious. Insomuch that the cheap publishers are hefi,rking back" among the story-tellers of the im mediately preceding generation —so that we arenow getting volume by volume, for a shilling or so each, the popular tales of Captain Marryat, and Theodore Hook, and Sir Walter Scott, and Maria Edgeworth. Could not Messrs. Routledge and Company, or Messrs. Sampson Low and Company, or Messrs. Ward and Lock, take one step still fur ther—giving us in the same way for a shilling or so the elder masterpieces of such writers as Field ing, and Smollett, and Defoe, and Richardson — not forgetting incidental works of mark like Char lotte Smith's "Old Manor House , " and Maturin's "Melmoth the Wanderer." Reproducing in shilling volumes, instead of the miserable balderdash of the vulgar comic-writers-to-order, the hack pun sters of some perished Puck or Dioyenes, classic works in their way as inimitable as Fanny Bar ney'. " Evelina," or as Oliver Goldsmith's "V icar of Wakefield." Reprints of some s uch sterling value intrinsically, would be a wholesome tonic to the purchasers and readers of our current light literature. LITERATURE. --- A Residence in Tasmaaa. By Captain 11. Butler Stoney, author of " Five Years in the Levant." Smith and Elder. This is a pleasantly written sketch of Tasmania at the present time. The author having resided there for a short time, and having visited the prin cipal towns and islands, was most favourably im pressed, both with the natural advantages and with the social prospects of the colony. The Tasmania described in his agreeable volume is a very different place from the Van Diemen's Land whose name, a few years ago, was associated with nothing but crime and criminals. It any lingering prejudice still exists with respect to this colony, the present volume will do much to remove it. It is three years since Van Diemen's Land ceased to be a penal settlement, in compliance with the earnest desire of the settlers, and since that time the more agreeable appellation of Tasmania has been substituted for the old title which had fallen into such disrepute. Its prospects, therefore, are materially altered ; and, as it is naturally fertile, and the climate par ticularly healthy, there seems little reason to doubt the writer's assertions, when he prophesies a great colonial future for the despised Tasmania. His work does not pretend to be more than the record. o f 3 , tour from Macquarie Harbour to Circa lar Head, therefore the reader mu s t not ex pect t o find any information respe c ti ng th e history of the colony, the race of the abori. gines, or any of those learned questions that usually occupy the attention of travellers. His object, he says, is to lay before the British public the present condition and state of the island, in the earnest hope that some of those prejudices now so common against it may be lessened' if not removed. This object his work is very likely to advance, as it con veys the impression of a h o mely, retired colony, where th ere is room for labour and enterprise— where, if th e t o il is hard the r eward is certain, and wh ere t h e d ange rs and difficulties are not h worse than th ose w hi c h usually attend the pat of a settler. It was not al ways so, however, and the the first settlers had many seriou obstacles t success, and w ere o f ten p l ace d in circums t ncel s ) . their of imminent peril from the assaults of bushrangers or natives. The bushrangers are now disposed of, and the natives having been induced to leave the colony for the neighbouring Flinder's Island are nearly extinct. The great impediment to the Pro gress of the colony was, of course, the iuii~.li ration o f c onvicts, but now that that objection is removed there is no reason why intending emigrants should not select it for their home. The list of articles sent to the English and French exhibitions will per haps surprise the reader, and give him a hi g h e r opinion of Tasmanian abilities. The schools, a l s o, whose statistics the author furnishes us with, well-conducted, while Hohart's areTownnumerous and or Hobarton, as it is now more commonly e, a Royal Society, a Botanical Gar- Agricultural ASEO• called, P°Bsess • Hospitals,A ablic den besides P ciations, Licensed Victuallers' and Printers' So cieties, and many similar institutions. Still more remarkable is it to find in this remote locality a Ragged School and a Mechanics' Institute. There are sixteen offices of Insurance Companies and five Banks, besides a Savings Bank in each city. There are also in Hobarton seven newspapers, besides several smaller publications. Among the articles forwarded to the Great Exhibition were some books printed and published in Van Diemen's Land. It will then be seen that those who regard Tasmania as an unci vilised desert are quite mistaken, and we may hope that when the new constitution comes into action its social progress will be still more rapid, though when it is considered what great disadvan tages it has had to encounter it is impossible to help sharing the surprise of the author at the rapid advance of the colony in the social scale. The mere fact of having the name of a convict settlement was sufficient to deter respectable emi grants, while the small number who from different causes ventured there were harassed and plundered by the natives and the bushrangers. Affairs are now totally different, and the old home names which have been so liberally bestowed may not seem so inappropriate. It is very curious to ob serve the strange mixture of names arising from the desire of its varied population to preserve their old familiar titles. Thus we have Hampshire, Buckingham, Torquay, Ben Lomond, Ross, the Forth, the Mersey, Tullochgorum, Richmond, Bagdad, the valley of the Jordan, and even Jeru salem. We are told that " Before you come to Jericho the road to Bothwell branches off." To account for the eastern names, it is on record that the first settlers in one particular locality were some soldiers lately arrived from Syria. The de scriptions given to the author by his friends in the neighbourhood of wild cattle hunts and expeditions to explore the river, are full of interest. In particular, the narrative of a frightful accident that befell a youth while hunting wild horses, and the courage and heroism of his brother, which finally saved his life, is painfully interesting. They were in awild and uncultivated district in the very heart of a forest, and it was four days before any medical assistance could be obtained. The accident was occasioned by riding full speed against a tree ; and the injuries were of a most dangerous and compli cated nature. The elder brother, finding the danger imminent, had the courage to set a broken limb, besides adopting other precautionary measures, which were the means of preventing amputation. It was fifteen weeks before the sufferer could be moved from the little shepherd's hut to which he bad been taken. Such terrible accidents are for tunately of rare occurrence, but they prove the ne cessity of caution in a settler's expeditions. The volume is enriched with fifteen plates, besides numerous smaller illustrations. A map of the island is prefixed, which affords an idea of its geographical features. The scenery is described as beautiful and varied, and is said to prove a de lightful surprise to most immigrants at first sight. Those who contemplate crossing the Pacific will find this work give them a very clear idea of their future home, while those who have no such inten tion may find entertainment and information in its perusal. rilE SUN, LO-14DON, TUESDA Y 1:f,"/ENiNG OCTOBER" 14 1855. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Last evening a new five act drama, entitled " The Adventurer" was produced here with complete success. The drama is founded on the story of "Madame Barbe Bleue," by Eugene Sue, and the hero of the piece is a certain Gascon, the Chevalier de Croustillac (Mr. B. Sullivan). The drama opens with a beautiful view of Martinique, and the arrival of the frigate Unicorn from France. The Chevalier by some means or other con trives to get on board the ship previous to her leaving France, and when she was thirty leagues from land, the captain informs us, he first made his appearance, and by his polite and entertaining conversation he managed to secure the good will of all on board. To prevent his being taken into custody on the arrival of the ship at Martinique he esconces himself in a cask, and just as a bumper is being drunk to his me mory he makes his appearance. The story of Madam Barbe Bleue is then related, and the gallant chevalier determines to woo and wed the lady, although it is reported she has already buried three husbands. He sets forth on his journey to the fiends' mountain, and on his way he encounters a bluff buccaneer, who is no other person than the Duke of Monmouth, who has not been executed in London. The duke is living at Mar tinique incog. with his wife, and the story of Madam Barbs Bleue has been invented to keep away intruders. The Chevalier informs the buccaneer of his intention, and he is forthwith conducted to the fiends' mountain, and on his arrival he is arrested as the Duke of Monmouth, whose place of refuge has been discovered. On die covering the true state of affairs, he saves the Duke and hii lady from the most imminent perils, and finally sails with them for Barbadoes. The acting of Mr. Sullivan was highly artistic, and his conception of the part of the gascon, a sort of Don Caesar de Bazan, was perfect. Miss Cleveland, as the Duchess, gave aitiother proof of the great ability she possesses, and Mr. C. Verner, as the Duke, was excellent. The scenery by Beverley is exceedingly beautiful, and the piece has been put on the stage with great taste. At the conclu sion of the play Mr. B. Sullivan received the honour of a call, and the piece was announced for repetition every evening. Viscount Wellesley has arrived at the Clarendon from the North. The Right Hon. R. Vernon Smith and Mrs. Vernon Smith are visiting Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston at Broadlands. Lord and Lady Brougham have been receiving a suc cession of visitors at Brougham Hall during the past month. The guests have included the Countess of West moreland and Lady Rose Fane, the Countess of Jersey and Lady Clementine - Villiers, the Earl and Countess of Clarendon, Lord and Lady William Powlett and Mies Doyle, Mr. and Mrs. William Osborne, Hon. Mrs. A. Villiers, the Dean of Carlisle, Mr. Elwin, Captain In glefield, Admiral Eden, &c. Lord Brougham has arrived in Paris. His lordship is in excellent health. The Earl and Countess Granville arrived at Kiel, in H.M.S. St. Jean d'Acre, 101, Capt. St. Vincent King, on Wednesday last, from Cronstadt. The noble earl and her ladyship proceeded by railway to Altona, and thence to Hamburg, and have since gone to Birlin, en route for Carlsbad,in Bohemia. AMERICAN MAILS,—The United States' mail steamer Atlantic will 6 ail from Liverpool for New York on Wed nesday next. Letters will be received at the Liverpool rest-office on that morning till 3 a.m., with late fees till 9 a.m., and on the landing stage till 10 a.m. ACCIDENT TO -LADY STEWART.—The Malta. Times of 7th says :--" It is reported that H.M.S Hannibal, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir Houston Stewart, K.C.8., which has completed her repairs in the dry dock, leaves in a day or two for Eogland, but we regret to learn that Lady Stewart burst a blood-vessel on Friday last, and that her ladyship still lies in a preca rious state. It is not improbable, therefore, that this lamentable occurrence may delay the departure of Sir Houston Stewart for some days." ANOTHER INSTANCE OF THE MUNIFICENCE OF THE QUEEN.—We are happy to be enabled to announce that her Majesty, upon learning the straitened circumstances in wnich the two unmarried daughters of the late Mr. Sale, formerly her Majesty's musical instructor, have been left by his decease, after a lengthened illness, which incapacitated him for many years from the exercise of his profession, has in the most kind manner granted them a pension of 501. a-year out of her privy purse. ROY AL MEDICAL - B KIEV° LENT Cozziie.—The foun dation stone of the chapel about to be raised in the grounds of the colleges at Epsom for the use of the pen sioners and scholars was laid on Friday, the 10th inst., by Mr. E. R. Northey, High Sheriff of Surrey, in the presence of the committee of management and sn i pe inmates of the college. Appropriate prayers were offered on the occasion by the Rev. R. Thornton, the head master. It is intended that the chapel shall be finished by the spring. ECLIPSE OF THE MOON.—Yesterday evening an eclipse of the moon took place. The eclipse began at 9h. 21 - Im.; greatest eclipse at 10h. 54•1 m., ending at 126. 27•1 m. First contact 1,170, from the moon's vertex towards east. Last contact 1,550 from the moon's vertex towards west. This eclipse was visible to the whole of Europe, Africa, and South America, nearly the whole of Asia, including the islands Sumatra, Borneo, and Java, the western Darts of Australia, the eastern parts of North America, and an extensive surface of the Atlantic and Indian oceans. THE Et l L l,, EmEtorrtic or LONDON.—Yesterday the Ven. Hale, Archdeacon of Louden and Canon of St. Paul's, took the customary oaths, and was admitted before the Vicar-General, Dr. Twiss, to the office of Official with the city and diocese of London during the vacancy of the see of London. This appointment is made under an ancient composition between Archbishop Boniface, some time Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Dean and Chapter of St. Pam's, under which the latter body have the privilege of nominating three of the canons of their cathedral church, from whom the Arch bishop of Canterbury selects an Official, who is em powered to discharge the functions usually performed by the Vicar-General of the Archbishop during the vacancy of a diocesan see. :I.dvices from Galata, received by M essrs.

I n a ddl. t ion to the largs fleet already in port, near l y 200 veer Is were reported to be in the river, and freights were con sequently low. Stocks of all grain were light, and arrivals from the interior were delayed by want of labour. The Commissioners for settling the new boundary li ne i n Bessarabia had nearly completed their work. In a few days they would reach Tornaia and the Pruth, and it was eaid that the English and French Commissioners, after arriving at Tornaia, will await at Reel instruc tions from Paris relative to the subject of Bolgrad. It was also reported that the Russians are becoming less disposed to resist the demands of the allies ors this point.

The pet of the Emperor NAPOLEON has enjoyed but a brief tenure of office. The traitor 'rm. has profited little by his treachery. His betrayal of his colleagues, and more especially of the man to whom he owed his position, has been speedily and completely avenged. The Court used him merely as an instrument, to be discarded the moment he ceased to be useful, and replaced by a more thorough-going Absolutist. The dupli city towards his companions in the ESPARTERO Ministry—the unscrupulous cunning with which he planned, and the sanguinary atrocity with which he executed the Madrid massacre, have all proved fruitless, and three short months have witnessed his complete overthrow, and the ap pointment of NARVAEZ to the Presidency of the Council—the position for which O'DONNELL so recklessly sacrificed all his quondam, associations and friends, and the scanty remnant of his not very brilliant reputation. But although he has neither merited nor de served sympathy, there is one person who should at least have treated bim with greater consideration. Queen ISABELLA should have dealt more liberally with the instrument which she used to overthrow the Constitution she bad sworn to maintain, and to which she owed her throne. But though " she loved the treason she hated the traitor." There were lingering scruples which she could not tolerate. By yield ing to her wishes to a certain extent, O'DONNELL had deprived himself of the power of resistance, and subjected himself to be unceremoniously cast aside the moment he hesitated or halted in the path on which he had deliberately entered. ISA. BELLA. was a true Bourbon (at least of the Nea. politan branch), and ther e could be no doubt that she would on the earlie , it opportunity avail her self of the power which he :had placed in her hands. The restoration to Can:MINA of all her ill gotten gains—even the bri; aging back of that busy intriguer—was not sufficiei it to arrest his down fall. NAR'rAEZ bid highor for Royal favour, and the natural result followed, as a matter of course. O'DONNELL has been disc ;raced, and NARVAEZ commissioned to constitute, a new Cabinet in place of that so recently constri toted by O'DONNELL. The following program ale of the new Adminis xation has already been 7put forward, viz. : NARVAEZ I ) rosident of the Council. ‘c PLDAL 'Ec.reign Affairs. ‘‘ SEIJAS ft!inance. NOCEDAL 1 nterior. " ARASOIiI .. Tustice. URBISTONDO LERSIINDI In addition to the, above, General SANZ has been appointed Capta 4 m-General of Madrid ; and General PEZUELA Di) metor of Cavalry. From the above 'it will b t seen that the quasi constitution is virtually subverted, and that Absolutism is now paramount at Madrid. Under different circumstances we might have antici pated some demomstration throughout the country. Bat no Liberal - would think of taking up arms, or making the ulighest effort iu favour of O'DoN NELL. By his conduct on the 14th July and the following days, he had forfeited every claim to public confidence, and the avowed antagonism of NARTAEZ wi)uld justly be esteemed as prefer able to the pretended friendship of O'DONNELB. We know not bow the present movement will be received by' the French EMPEROR. It was more than hinted that his Ambassador, the Mar quis DE TT:MOOT exercised no trivial influence in bringing O'DoNNELL into power, and his conduct was shortly afterwards not merely approved, but applauded, in a semi-official article in the Moniteur, which spoke of the affair as " affording a favour able chance for establishing a constitutional (!) Government on a firm basis and hailed with sympathy a change of a nature to consolidate the throne of ItARELLA 1" It also gave " credit to Marshal O'DoNNELL for having attempted, with out a coup d'etat (0, to restore order to Spain, the first and indispensable basis of liberty," and expressed an earnest hope that it would " put an end to those coups d'etat and to those baneful pronunoiamentos." What, then, will the Moniteur and its Imperial Director now say to the present movement, will it witness the overthrow of its 'Meg* with sincere gratification ?—will it con sider the appointment of NARiPAEZ and the re turn of XLRIA CHRISTINA as affording a further " favourable chance of establishing a constitu tional Government on a favourable basis," or "hail it with sympathy" as " a change of a nature to consolidate the throne of ISABELLA ?" Nous verrons. Time will tell. At present it is indeed difficult to anticipate the policy of the Imperial 'Cabinet. As to O'DoNNELL's over throw, we predicted it abiniM9. It was inevitable; and the access to power of NARTAEL was what naturally followed the next turn of the wheel. O'DormuL had paved the way for the triumph of his rival. There is another Eastern difficulty on the Utpis. We are actually at war at this moment ! Many will be startled at the announcement ; but, for the time being at least, there are no grounds for Notions apprehensions. Our opponent at present is only Persia, and the power of the Sarum is not of a very formidable character. When, laowever, we look more closely to the origin of the dispute, the political horizon be comes darker, the prospect more inauspicious. We see that there is more in it than meets the eye at a mere casnp,l inspection, and that there are serious complications "looming in the future" that may possibly involve England in a great war, in which she will have to put forth all her energies, and make the most strenuous exertions. The seizure of Herat, either by Persia or with Persian connivance and encouragement (the true state of affairs is not very accurately known), is the foundation of the dispute. The readers of The Sun will recollect that, while the allied troops were in the Crimea, the seizure of Herat was noticed and commented on in our columns, and at the time it appeared as if the movement had taken place under Russian inspiration, and that the Semen had lent himself as an instrument to promote the views of his dangerous neighbour. Taken, per se, Herat was of no great importance, but it had been by some persons regarded as the key to India, which any overland invader would have to occupy before he could venture on a movement in advance. Under these circumstances the British Government had thought proper to deelare it to be the property of its quondam opponent, DOST MAROMET, and to guarantee its possession to him. We are now called on to redeem the improvident pledge, and Ragland is required to make war on Persia in order to secure DOST MAHOMET the restoration of the disputed territory. The matter would . be easy enough but for the distance, "It is a far cry to Herat"—not less than 700 or 800 miles from the nearest point on the sea coast where a British expedition could be landed ! This is certainly an impediment of no ordinary magnitude to our valorous aspirations. Before we undertake au expedition to Herat we may well pause to count the coat, to see by what ex penditure of men and money our object can be attained. It is much easier to enter into war than to extricate ourselves therefrom. Taking the matter in even the most favourable point of view, and supposing that Russia should observe a strict and b ona fide neutrality, what shou ld we have to p a y f or our support of the illust rious Dost ? Thi s i s an important question , that should b e c l ear ly and unequivocally answered before we suffer ourselves to be inextricably in volved . It may be said that the step is taken for the security and protection of India, and that the expenses thereof are to be defrayed by the Anglo- Indian Government 1 This is all very well so far as it g oes . B u t who should bo the paymaster i f the Indian r even ues proved deficient The pro prietors of Eastllndia Stock must receive a certain fixed sum, for a limited period, whether there be a surplus or a deficiency in the Indian Exchequer. All other necessary expenses must be provided for under any circumstances. It is, therefore, a distinction without a difference, to speak of the ' , far being carried on at the cost of the East India Company. It is about the same as if a man congratulated himself on taking money out of his right hand, in plage of out of his left hand pocket. As yet we aro not moving upon Herat. That absurdity is wanting But an expedition of 10,000 men, with all its con comitants, is to be despatched to seize upon an Island—Karrack—in the Persian Gulf, with the avowed intention of attacking the port of Bushiro, should the demonstration fail inbringing the ScHAzi to his senses. Or, in other words, should Rus sia be desirous of obtaining English capital, for the establishment of twenty steam-vessels, ready to be converted into ships of war, and for the construction of a line of military railways throughout its dominions before it flings away the scabbard. If we wanted to check Russia, we should have done so while she lay at our mercy. We should have an ti c i pa t e d the Herat difficulty before the ratification of the Precious Treaty ! As it is, we have obtained a brief armistice, at the price of transferring the contest from the place Where it could be con ducted on the most favourable terms to ourselves to another selected by the enemy. This does not exhibit much wisdom, or enable us to look with satisfaction at the policy of our rulers. It is to be regretted that Parliament is not sitting ; but it is therefore the more incumbent on public journalists to warn the community of the impend ing danger. England never probably before took so much interest as just now in a Transatlantic election ; the political news by each steamer is read with as much avidity as the commercial advises---in deed, by the great majority of readers, with much more. Every one of us hero is hoping for FREMONT'S success, and it may be safely stated that the sole and single cause of this, is our interest in that, to assert which the States foreswore their mother country, namely— that all men are born equal and independent. A truth, never theless, in which the Old country now carries out immeasurably further than the Naw one. The hour of decision is at hand, and the 4th of November will decide the mo mentous question whether slaveholders or free men are to rule the great Republic. By the middle of that month, or little after, we may expect to hear whether the stripes or the stars have triumphed ; to hear which is destined even tually to obliterate the other—the emblem from the earliest days of blessings dawning upon earth, or the emblem which must have been added by that curse of his species, the man-stealer. Notwithstanding all the hopeful signs of the present we fear the worst. We see and rejoice in the spirit aroused in the North ; and we see what we think would arouse Englishmen, to rout slaveholders as they did the Lords on the Reform Bill, and the landlords on the Corn Laws. But, and we say it deliberately, we fear Americans have lost much of that unselfish determined courage which distinguishes our countrymen. In the first place, their moral and religious principle has been thoroughly sapped by slavery. The freemen of the North itself have long kept a guilty conscience; they have yielded and compromised, and compro mised and yielded on the slave question till they are ashamed to own by a practical step that they have taken hitherto a mean and unprincipled course. Their ministers of religion are worse than their laymen, and from asking for mercy for slaveholders they have come to cite the Gospel itself in their favour. Then they have acquired for the poor negro the hatred of the wrong-doer for his victim. Themselves a white skinned population from the Old World, they detest their darker-skinned brethren, im ported by compulsion, after having enriched themselves by their labours. They will not walk, nor eat, or travel, or even worship their common MAILER with them. They treat them, while living, as Bishops here do Dissenters when dead. Hence their interest in the oppressed of the man-stealers is without the inspiration of a generous philan thropy—without just that inspiration which de termined at any cost to emancipate our own West India slaves. Then, again, the North is as used to defeat as the South to triumph. Outnumbering the Southerns, non-slaveholders included, three to one, they have yet always been threshed. They have sold themselves for their mortgages on Southern estates, and for fear of Southern threats. If beaten now, it will be but one more addition to a score defeats, and it will seem something quite in due course, for a Yankee to knock under to a Southern. On the other hand, he of the cat-o'-nine-tails, the bowie knife and the revolver, has everything to lose. A retreat from Kansas will be a retreat from Moscow. He has also his honour as con queror to maintain, while his opponent has no honour to lose. His property in the bodies and souls of men is pretty directly at stake, while the Northern is affected only indirectly. He stands up with the consciousness of absolute lordship, and talks as a monarch ; the poor Yankee is mas ter of nothing but his own bedy, and talks of dol lars only, while the other boasts of his hundreds of implicitly obedient subjects. It is astonishing to notice the Royal and Imperial tone of the men of the South, and the meek recognition of supremacy by the men of the North. The very look of the slay eholding aristocracy seems to intimidate the plebs of the North as tho human eye is said to intimidate the lion. How easy for the latter to crush the former—but the LBGREE fixes his glance, and the Yankee—the " blue belly" as it seems the Southerner elegantly calls hi m — q uails ! We fear very much this reciprocal prestige and awe. It is true Governor RBEDER and Mr. Speaker BANKS bare endoavo ured to work on the fears o the New Yorkers. The former has pointed out the infallible consequences of their being girdled around by slave states, and the immense annual overflow from their rapidly increas ing population being confined within their present limits. And Mr. BANKS has forcibly illustrated the great naval and military cost they must incur if they go on annexing Cuba and the Isthmus, as BIICIIA.NAN and slaveholders re quire, since they cannot hopo to retain them without rivalling at sea the great naval Powers of Europe. There should be much in these argu ments, but we fear certain calculations about cotton-bags and dollars, and narrow prejudices, and cowardice of the kind we have alluded to, will outweigh them with the many. Perhaps the most dangerous fact is, that the slaveholders are united to a man, and compel all the non-slave holding whites in the South, who are nine times more numerous than themselves, to unite with them. The much-heard-of Missourian border ruffian bands aro all composed of these non-slave holding " miserable whites." Everything in the South is subordinated to retaining their iniqui tous predominance ; 150,000 slaveholders and 6,000,000 non-slaveholders act as one man. In the North, on the contrary, the Free State men have a hundred party distinctions, and men at New York, can make a great display for FILLMORE, while their very position is in danger of being turned by the enemy. And lastly comes in the very mode of election, for the Presidency. It is not a direct election, but an election by delegates, and if no candidate has an absolute majority of .he delegates the House of Representatives has the choice of a Pre sident. The members of the House do not, how ever, vote individually, but in states ; New York, with its thirty-three representatives, would have but one vote in the house. Now, as the present house was elected before the present excitement, there is little doubt that it would either elect 1317 ,411ArtArr, or contest the point till, by an other regulation the election would fall to the Senate, who would, of course, choose a slavery man. As things now stand the •~~ whole number of electoral delegates is 296 ; of these the Slave States send 120, the free States 176. This ought to secure FREMONT the victory, as if he obtain 149 votes his election is safe. But, strange to say, Pennsylvania, with twenty seven votes, is doubtful ; and New Jersey also, with her seven votes. Should these be given to the Whig candidate, FILLMORE, who, according to all accounts, has no chance of success for himself, FREMONT would no longer have the absolute ma jority of one hundred and forty-nine. The elec tion would go to Congress, and either BUCHANAN would be chosen there, or one of the Pro-slavery 'flee-Presidents would become President while the House was disputing on the question. While, there fore, we hope the best, we must yet confess that between the facilities for electioneering trickery and the past relations of the North and the South we fear the worst. LATEST NEWS. CHANGE OF MINISTRY IN SPAIN. MADRID, OCT. 12. O'Donnell has resigned, and with him all his colleagues. The Queen has accepted their resig- nations. Narvaez has been called upon to form a new Cabinet. OCT. 12, EVENING. The New Spanish Ministry is composed as follows : NARVAEZ, President of the Council. PIDAL, Foreign Affairs. SEIJAS, Finances. NOCEDAL, Interior. ARASOLA, Justice. URBISTONDO, War. LERSUNDI, Marine. General Sanz has been appointed Captain- General of Madrid, and General Pezuela Director of Cavalry. VIENNA, TUESDAY. Signor Salvador Bermudez Castro has been ap• pointed Ambassador of Spain at this Court. It is rumoured at the Bourse here to-day that Baron Brenier has received orders to quit Naples, The Bourse is in a very languishing condition. The Debats of yesterday contains the following statement :—" We believe that the pretensions raised by Russia with regard to the Isle of Ser pents have been abandoned. Russia has given way, and the Isle of Serpents will again become a possession of Turkey." A few days ago we published a document, bear ing the signature of Fuad Pacha, in which that minister asserted the right of the Sultan to annex the isles of the Danube directly to his empire, and to exercise full sovereign rights over them, in stead of per mitting their incorporation with Mol davia and accepting the relation of lord para mount. The Debats of yesterday says that Russia resisted this claim at first, but that the Cabinets of Vienna and London having pronounced in favour of Turkey, the Czar has given way. The Bolgrad difficulty remains in all its force. The Paris correspondent of the Times (second edition) in his letter dated yesterday, says : "It is stated on good authority that a note, which I presume we may consider as an ultima tum, was despatched on Saturday to Naples by the French Government. In it the King is in formed that if he persists in rejecting the advice of the Allied Governments, Baron Brenier, the Minister of France at Naples, would be with drawn, and all diplomatic relations cease. It is also believed that a similar communication has been made by the English Govern ment. If the Ministers are recalled the fleets will proceed to the Bay of Naples for the protection of the French and English residents 3 and a letter from that city, dated the 7th, men tions that the opinion was general that the appear ance of the English and French flags would be the signal of a movement in Sicily. The note is, I am assured, couched in moderate but firm terms. How King Ferdinand will receive it remains to be seen. The Paris correspondent of the Morning , Post (second edition) says : " I am told that a telegraphic despatch has reached Paris from Naples to-day (Monday) stating that the King would not allow any one to speak to him on existing difficulties ; and that the mem bers of the royal family had been commanded not to offer their advice. Defensive preparations con tinued. One American and one Austrian ship of war were in the bay. An English steamer was expected with anxiety. The city was tranquil." A letter, dated Constantinople, Oct. 2, has just been received, from which we extract the fol lowing : " The question of the Principalities has come altogether to a dead stop, and it is difficult to see how it is to go on, unless some arrangement be made with regard to Bolgrad and the Serpents' Island. It seems pretty certain that the Austrians make their evacuation dependent on the settlement of these disputed points. The letters which I have received from the Principalities prove what I ad vanced in my former letters, namely, that Russia's calculations were correct, and that the delay in the evacuation is attributed not to Russia, who raised the disputed questions, but to the apatky and weakness of the 'western Powers, who allow the Austrians to remain when there is no real neces sity for their stay. When one watches the rising of thi s f eeling of diffidence in the intentions of the allies, one cannot help regretting _that, the hurry with which the Treaty was concluded prevented the possibility of the chief points regard ing then the Principalities being settled at the Conferences at Paris. Whatever the allies would decided about the future organisation boon and Wallachia would have been accepted as a of without cavilling, whereas now the expectationsoint and the the provinces are stretched to such a.pon o h f av M e oldo - to , such a idea of their own importance has d risen proble degree, that it becomes every excited spirits. will ever be able to satisfy their o-anisation is delayed, inatiG lwhether the best . intentions aY of the allies lose in the Princi- The longer the work of re-organisation the more ground the understand in those pro palities.

The Paris Correspondent of the Times (second edition) thus comments on the new ministers : c , It is superfluous to Bay who and wh a t G enera l Narvaez is. M. Pidal, now for the second time Minister of Foreign Affairs, is, with his brother in-law, M. Mon, an ardent partisan of Maria Christina. Ho is a Minister of the Interior in 1845-6.

H e i s an advocat e . 6y profession. Seijas Lozano is als o a learning, member of th e bar of considerable though of narrow mind. He is also a Moderado, ' and figured in various Cabinets. Nocedal, or a s he was more familiarly termed Nocedalite, was at one ti me an ar d en t, almost a revolutionary liberal. He modified his opinions as the chances opened to him of place, and became attached in, 1847 to the Puritans, or Tiers Parti, at whose heed was M. Pach eco .
