She has let them down much as she did Lords DERBY and MALMESBURY respecting the Italian war. They had hoped better things of her when they found that she had broken the peace, and etimmenced the conflict without giving them even telegraphic warning; Lord DERBY was not the man to " eat his words," so he took the first oppor tunity to rate, pretty soundly, the Government wnich had induced him to utter them. Perhaps M:. ROEBUCK will follow Loll! DERBY when he reatls to-day's telegrams; he has had reason enough im!eed to recant already, but the last act of SCIIMERLING despotism, in the cause of centralisa f.< n will surely make the blood of JOHN ARTHUR 11.0EBUCK, and even of Mr. LEVER, boil with a dignation. The Diet has been dismissed, not for (any act of violence, but for quiet firmness to its first rights and duties; the Comitats or County Municipalities, the decentralised assemblies, who conduct the greater part of Hungarian business, and have been - like municipalities generally, the soul of liberty in the country, have expressed their cordial sympathy with the Diet. The highest ecclesiastical digni tary in the country has, though standing on the verge of the grave, done the same ; all classes unite ; yet the punishment is the suppression of the Comitats by military force! Pesth, on account of its greater importance; is amongst the first deal with. We were told yesterday that " the building in which the sittings of the Comitat of Pesth are heid was occupied last night by the military, and the members were prevented from assembling by force. A Lieutenant, with his sword drawn, for bads the deputies to enter the building." That Lieutenant, threatening to sabre any of the people's representatives who attempted . to perform their legal duty, was the direct representative of . Baron SCHMERLING, the Germans of Vienna, and the HAPSUURG—not too imbecile to be a despot— who for the hour occupies the throne. The lieu tenant, with the sword in his hand, stood at the door of the county hall, in defiance of law, by order of Baron ScalveRLING. That sword is the Baron'( law, constitution, and administration. politioal quack had devised The his paper consti tution for the good , as he alleges, o f a ll th e na tionalities under his master's crown. They refuse t o accept it, at least some three fourths of them do, and chiefly the noble old kingdom o f Hungary refuses to be drugged to death, and to ac. cept a kind of Brahmin beatification by a b_ sorption into the essence of SCHMERLING'S BRAHMA, the Austrian Empire. Hungary thinks sena rate life and conscious national existence a happier state than becoming a part of one great German God, actuated by one will. Absorption Aperns to the enli g htened old country next door to annihilation, and rightly seems so. lt" one thing ear, be more intolerable than another, it i.i the sight of one mediocre German, like Sef[MERE.ING, aided of count(' by REctinERG, and tutor'ng his stupi,i Sovereign, setting himself up as the dictator who by his paper decrees is to subvert a kingdom of a thousand 'years old, and to resist the will of 11,000,000 of people whom he pretends to g'vern constitutionally. Like the Southern traitors in America, he, or the Austrian Government, have prepared for the present outrage by disarming the Hungarians. SUMER LINGt's Lieutenant might safely stand at the door of the hall, ready to cut down the first_ man in Perth, for his employer had taken care that no means of resistance should be left to the Hungarians. What the result will be of such treachery, des potism, and violence, no one can foresee. The Hun garians will probably have the firmness to bear all, to put their adversaries completely in the wrong, to let them go on, offering all possible passive resist ance, and leaving M. SCHMERLING to find out that one man, with a German nostrum, is not a match for eleven millions of a united people, even without arms in their hands. At the same time a bloody insurrection is by no means impossible. The Austrian soldiers are the most odious in Europe to the countries which they are told to grind into submission, and their officers frequently about the most cruel, unofficer like savages on earth, without a spark of the nobler sentiments; officer and soldiers together would like to provoke an insurrection, that they might satiate themselves with the blood of freemen. But the Austrian policy fails throughout. Venetia is, of course, not to be gained. Transylvania she has not yet been able to square to her objects; but Croatia, with the territories belonging to it, seems likely to be as firm as Hungary. Croatia, like Hungary, freely chose the HAPSBURG dynasty— freely made it herbditary, and freely joined in the Pragmatic Sanction in 1712, when CHARLES HI. obtained on behalf of his daughter, MARIA THERESA, from the Diet at Agram, the contract by which the Diet gave up election of their monarchs and admitted the female line on their part; the monarch, on his part, engaging by a solemn act and deed to govern in a word legally, and there fore to respect all their liberties and franchises of every kind. The Diet at Agram has now adopted an address as like the Hungarian one of M. DEAR as possible, and thus resolved to take the same course. What the Vienna Government will do with more than half the Empire thus in legal and declared opposition, it is not easy to see. They may occupy and garrison the countries, but to occupy is not to govern, and when the hoar of attack comes again, the whole empire will be shaken, perhaps broken up entirely. This we could not regret. Hungary would be a nucleus, round which the free-minded Austrian States in the East would gather, and one free kingdom of Hungary would be ample compensation for the ruin of twenty Austrias. It is satisfactory to perceive at last some evidence of disinolination on the part of the Irish to be left any longer entirely out of the influence of the Volunteer movement. While that patriotic rising and arm ing of the people in England and Scotland, we have seen, advanced upon this side of St. George's Channel so rapidly and steadily that, within a couple of years, the defences of the country have been enhanced by the addition to the army and navy of 170,000 Riflemen—in Ireland nothing whatever has been done to further the good cause by swelling the ranks of those Riflemen. Remembering this somewhat painful fact, and remembering at the same time theloyal enthusiasm very recently mani fested by the Irish multitude upon the occasion of her MAJESTY'S visit to that advanced and improv ing portion of her dominions, it is but reasonable to find the Celtic race, at length—however tardily —in genuine earnest awakening from its prolonged apathy in this matter. There are beginning to be visible and audible amongst the people of Ireland a profound reluc tance, a reluctance very comprehensible under the circumstances, to be left altogether behind in this onward movement on the part of their Eng lish and Scotch compatriots. The fact that it has been thus hitherto reflects, it cannot but be felt, very invidiously upon the Irish multitude at large. It is a slur upon the loyalty and patriotism of Ireland, that up to this moment no rifle corps have been organised there at all-- whereas, in Great Britain, the difficulty is to find any locality whatever in which a rifle corps, large or small, has not been organised. Here, amongst ourselves, it is not extravagant to say that the rifle has become the national weapon as completely as the long yew-bow and the cloth-yard shaft were wont to be centuries ago in the hands of our remote progenitors in the days, let us say, of ROBIN HOOD and his merry foresters in Lincoln green. Again the butt has come to be raised here in every township, in almost every village, hamlet, and hundred in the United Kingdoms of England and Scotland, for the practice of the hands and eyes of " goods shots," not, it is true, of our bold archers, but, better still, of our skilled riflemen ! And while so much zeal has in this way been mani fested by her MAJESTY'S lieges from Land's End to John o'Groat's—tl e utmost apparent indifference has been displayed by her MAJESTY'S other lieges from Malin Head to Cape Clear ! As if the cause of England and of Scotland were nat also in every particular the cause of Ireland ! The time has happily come at length, however, let us hope, when a distinction so invidi ous must be obliterated, and when the Irish must take their place among the English and Scottish Riflemen. The spirit-stirring address recently delivered by the Earl of ELLENBOROUGII down in his own county of Gloucestershire, would seem (though in no way addressed to themselves) to have, in a great measure, tended to route the people of Ireland to a sense of their own culpable apathy, in not hav ing long ago insisted upon being allowed to parti cipate in the Volunteer Movement. Reported through the columns of the public journals, that earnest oration addressed by the eloquent lips. of Lord ELLENBOROUGII to the Riflemen of Gloucestershire —upon the occasion of the banquet given at the county town to the Lord Lieutenant of the shire, the Earl of DUCIE, " in recognition of his efforts in the promotion of the National Rifle. Corps movement"—that impressive speech addressed to the Volunteers of Gloucestershire by the Earl of ELLENBOROUGII, echoed as it has since been through the Whispering Gallery of the Press across St. George's Channel, has awakened some of the ardent spirits, at least in Ireland, to "a sense of their situation." Nor can this be wondered at under the circumstances. Words like those re cently uttered by Lord ELLENBOROUGH must Come rather poignantly home to every really loyal and patriotic Irishman—knowing well, as the latter does, while he is listening to them, or reading them, that Ireland, as yet, has had nothing whatever to do, directly or indirectly, with the Volunteer move ment. Conscious of his own country's isolation—of her painful isolation thus in the midst of the general rising and training of the population elsewhere throughout these islands of the British Archipaslago the Irish loyalist and patriot must perforce note rather shamefacedly burning words like these dropped from the lips of the Earl of ELLENBOROUGU :—" I rejoice in the existence of this force, and I rejoice also in the re viral of that ancient spirit which prevailed in distant times throughout this country." It must be some- what distressing for the county gent!emen of Ire- land, again, for example, to feel that they have no right or capaci:,y to apply to themselves those other words of Lord ELLENBOROUGH'S, in which, ad- dressing himself to the Squirearchy of England especially, he said :—" The country gentlemen are now at the head of the movement, as they were and as they should be, and the men in the ranks know these gentlemen not only as their officers, but also as individuals. Gentlemen, the Volunteer force is a band of brothers which must succeed under any difficulty to which it may be ex posed. I do hope that the gentlemen, and every one of those who have assumed the military dress, and have taken on themselves the responsibility of commanding men in the field, will adhere to their first determination, and endeavour to make themselves capable of performing all the duties of their position, and so retain the confidence of all who serve under them. I feel that lam speaking in the language of the constitution of this country, and I assure you I speak the language dic tated by the feeling of every gentleman engaged in this movement, when I say that, in all times and in all circumstances, hut more especially in the circum stances which portend danger, the proper position of every gentleman is in the front of the battle. You understand, therefore, what your mission is as Volunteers. It is so to perfect yourself in discipline as to be able to throw an impenetrable veil of fire before the movements of the regular troops by whom you are supported, to enable them, by acting with the decisive bayonet, the favourite weapon of your country, on the ranks of the enemy, to obtain the victory." With all of which the country gentlemen of Ireland—as yet at least—have nothing whatever to do. To them, even now at this eleventh hour of the Volunteer movement, cannot in any way be applied those feli citations offered by the noble earl to his sympa thetic hearers in Gloucestershire—" Gentlemen, I congratulate you on your adoption of the military profession;" Lord ELLENBOROUGII adding, in lan guage of somewhat extravagant hyperbole, " It is the first of all professions. The first profession, I have always considered, is that of the soldier, and the first of all rewards is military honour." What ever value, however, may be placed upon military honour in the abstract, there cannot at least be any doubt whatever as to the glory inevitably accruing from the faithful discharge of the first duties of civism. Those duties, that glory, now appealing trumpet-tongued to the people of Ireland—impera tively call for the speedy enrolment there in real earnest of corps after corps of Celtic riflemen. The Revenue Returns which we publish to-day conform so closely to the particulars which we gave yesterday, and the explanations offered of the fall ing off on the quarter and on the year are so iden tical with our own that it is needless to repeat our former observations. The most gratifying fact in them is the increase on the Customs ; though that increase is not large, yet under the actual circum stances, and after such considerable reductions of duties, it is very gratifying to find that the Re venue has not lost what the country has gained. It is, of course, a last testimony to the merits of that free trade which our enlightened republican brethren across the Atlantic are so slow to learn. Increase from the Post-office is also always a grati fying fact. It is a testimony to the increasing intercourse between . the separated members of families as well as to the commercial activity of the country. The Earl and Countess Spencer are expected to arrive at Spencer House, St. James's, to-morrow, from Althorpe Hall, Northamptonshire. Viscount and Viscountess Clifden leave Lord Taunton's seat, Stoke Park, near Windsor, at the end of the week, for Gowran Castle, the noble Viscount's seat in the county Kilkenny. Mr. Edwards, Governor of Labuan, had an inter view with the Duke of Newcastle yesterclqy, at the Colonial office. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial Office from the governors of the West India Islands, the North American provinces, British Columbia, and the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, Viscount Falmouth arrived in town yesterday from Mereworth Castle, Kent, on his way to Newmarket, Sir Richard Levinge, M.P., and Mr. Levinge have arrived at the Lord Warden Hotel, Dover, from the Continent. Viscount Palmerston, M.P., has consented to dis tribute the certificates to the successful candidates in the late Oxford local examination, at a public meeting which is to be held at the Carlton Arms, Southampton, on Friday, Oct. 11. The chair will be taken at three o'clock on that day by the mayor of Southampton. CONSUMPTION OF TOBACCO IN FRANCE.—The consumption of snuff and tobacco has increased so consi derably of late years in France that the Government has found it necessary to increase the number of its manufac tories. It is proposed to create an additional Imperial establishment at Dijon. The choice of that town is ex plained by its proximity to the newly-annexed province of Savoy, where tobacco is cultivated on a largo scale. There are at present 10 Imperial tobacco manufactories, directed by graduates of the Polytechnic School. They employ not less than 8,000 operatives during the entire year. The two largest manufactories are those of Paris and Lille; the others are established at Bordeaux, Havre, Marseilles, Morlaix, Strasburg, Lyons, Tonneins, and Toulouse. MR. WoODIN AT BRIGHTON.—A crowded room, a room overflowing, money turned from the doors before the commencement of the entertainment—this was the sort of reception afforded to the great favourite, Mr. W. S. Woodin, at the Pavilion, on his re-appearance after an absence of two years, and en the occasion of his opening his new entertainment, " The Cabinet of Curiosities," the success of which in London has been unprecedented in the annals of public entertainments. Mr. Woodin is a well known caterer for the amusement of the public, and during the time he has been before the public he has met with a vast and almost unparalleled success—a success, however, due to his own exertions and the efficiency of his catering. His " Carpet Bag," " Olio of Oddities," and other enter tainments—great successes during their time—have passed away, and now we have presented to us an entirely new entertainment, likely to-rival—and deservedly so—either of its predecessors. To all lovers of a hearty laugh, to all admirers of really wonderful talent, we say pay Woodin a visit while he is at the Pavilion. This will be bat for a brief season; at present he is there every evening, except Saturday, at eight, and on Saturday afternoon at three.— Brighton Gazette, ABOLITION OF ANOTHER ANCIENT INSTITUTION. —On Saturday expired the Annoyance Juries of Westmin ster, which were instituted as far back as the reign of Queen Elizabeth, but whioh were abolished by an Act of last ses sion. The Dean and Court of Burgesses are now to appoint inspectors to act in the place of householder, who were wont to parade the streets and inspect the weights and measures of the shopkeepers. The Act provides that " every person who shall abuse or insult any such inspector when in the execution of his office, or shall in any way ob- struct the execution of the said office, shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding 405." THE LADY OF KUPOORTHULLA.—Among the Sikh nobles who. at the outset of the mutiny, staked their heads on the British side, was the Raj ah of Kupoorthulla. He was not a very great man, but he had influence, and no Englishman could have risked his status, purse, and person with more hearty and unquestioning loyalty. He helped to guard the Northern Delhi road, then the key of our posi- tion, and when order had been restored, the Governor- General, casting aside the old policy of meagre rewards, raised him by a single gift of land to the wealth of a great English noble. The rajah married an East Indian girl, 'became, under her influence, a Christian, and established a mission on his own estates. Sweeping away at a stroke the prejudices of a thousand years, he introduced his wife into society, and allowed her to appear in public, and the ME- cials, for once heartily cordial to a native, threw aside pre . _. Indices as rooted as his own, and recommended that the rajah should receive, officially, precedence in Oude. The Governor-General consented. and at the apex of the new social system of Oude stands a native Christian noble, and the only woman in India for who the guards turn out in ;he British provinces is the Christian " Lady of Kupoor- hull a."—Spectator. THE MURDER AT WESTMINSTER.—Proceedings are being taken, by petition to the Secretary of State, to procure a remission of the sentence of death recorded against the convict William Maloney, for the murder of his wife in Leg-court, Westminster, and the grounds assigned by Mr. Bury Hutchinson, his solicitor, for respiting the accused are becau.e the indirect evidence produced on the part of tho Crown rather tended to corroborate the declaration made by _ _ _ Maloney, that the deceased stabbed herself, than that he, as put forward by the prosecution, inflicted the wound, as ap peared by the evidence of Dr. Payne, the only medical wit ness on the part of the Crown. Secondly, because the direct evidence depended upon the credit to be given to the witness Saunders, whose testimony before the coroner, the magis trate, and the Central Criminal Court, is disproved by re - liable evidence in many most material points; and thirdly, because the jury stated at his trial that Maloney had no in tention to murder his wife. THE SUN, ',LONDON, TUESDAY EVENINU', OCTOBER 1, 1861. E 43, E PARIS, OCT. 1. The Moniteue, in its bulletin of this morning, publishes a telegraphic despatch from Constan tinople, announcing a modification in the Ministry, by which Mehemet Ruschid Pasha becomes Minis ter of War in place of Namik Pasha. ROME, SEPT. 30. The Pope has held a secret consistory, in which five Bishops were appointed. His Holiness pronounced an allocution on the events of Italy, and alluded to the violent expulsion of the Archbishop of Naples. He also spoke of the religious situation of Mexico and New Granada, which he said had been still further aggravated by the expulsion of the Apostolic delegate. PESTH, SEPT. 30. During yesterday and to-day large crowds have assembled before the building where the sittings of the assembly of the Comitat are held. The surrounding streets are occupied by troops. A lieutenant with his sword drawn forbade the deputies to enter the building. The people are greatly excited, but order has not been disturbed. The magistrate of the Comitat of Pesth has ten dered his resignation. On leaving the Hall of the Assembly more than 5,000 persons assembled to accompany him home. They were followed by military patrols. When the people reached the Palace of the Ober gespann, the magistrate delivered a speech,to which the Obergespann replied. Tho crowds then voluntarily dispersed withou committing any disturbances. NAPLES, SEPT. 30. The small band of reactionists commanded by Borges has been beaten by the Italian troops. The greater number of them were afterwards made prisoners by the peasants. Borges himself, with a few men, is still at large, but it is hoped that their arrest will soon be effected. The trial of Christen has commenced. TURIN, SEPT. 30. The Sentinelle of Brescia, of to-day, says On the 3d October Austria will set at liberty the Modenese political prisoners who have been incar cerated in the dungeons of Mantua since 1859," The Royal Princes have laid the first stone of the monument at Castelfidardo. CRACOW, MONDAY. According to news from Warsaw, the Polish bishops have addressed a memorandum to the Go vernor of Poland, demanding the re-establishment of the former rights of the Catholic Church in_that country. The Governor, however, refased to accept it. The bishops then mat, and were addressed by the archbishop, who, in his speech, said : "Let us always stand by the people and defend the cause of the fatherland, and not forget that we are Poles." VIENNA, MONDAY EVENING. A telegram, received here to day, from Trieste, announces that information has been received in that city from Scutari stating that the Turks would not probably continue hostilities against Montenegro much longer. FRANCE. PARIS, SEPT. 30. BOURSE, Sept. 30.—The market has been less agitated to-day than on Saturday, and prices have fallen still lower than on that day. Threes are now at 68f 50e.

The King of Prussia has addressed the following letter to the Duke of Coburg-Gotha : "The presence of your Highness at the autumn manoeuvres of the 7th and Bth Corps of the Prus sian Army of the Rhine, that have just con cluded, :as well as the personal part you took in the operations on two of the days, by under taking the command of one of the corps, have fur nished me another proof of the lively interest your Highness has always displayed in my army. It gives me great pleasure to add to the verbal re cognition of the manner in which you commanded the troops during the operations, this expression of my sincerest thanks for the service. With renewed assuranc .13 of my esteem ' and unalterable friend ship, I am your affectionate cousin, " WILLIAM." The Hungarian correspondence of the Gazette d'A ugsburg states that the Prince of Schwarzenburg Rudolstadt will, in November next, abdicate his Sovereignty, for the purpose of marrying a young lady from the ranks of the bourgeoise, a Mdle. Schulz, of Konigsberg, who, with her mother, has resided for several years at Rudolstadt and other places of summer resort in Thuringia. His High ness is 68 years of age ; the lady 25. The ex-Prince will be succeeded in the government of his State by his brother Albert, who was born in 1798. THE PENINSULAR MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, OCT. 1. The Peninsular and' Oriental Company's steamer Tagus, with the Peninsular mails, arrived off the Needles at 11 a.m. to-day. THE NEW FRENCH WAR FRIGATE.—The iron cased frigate Gloire returned to Toulon on Sunday after noon last from Nice, having on board the maritime Prefect of Toulon, General Froissard, and Colonel Bichot of the Engineers, with their staff. During the passage the usual mancouvres performed during a naval action were prac tised, and her guns, shotted, were fired under steam, her speed being 12 knots an hour. The second officer in com mand of the Globe was promoted on his arrival at Toulon to the command of the steam corvette Pei-Ho. THE EXHIBITION OF 1862.—The Imperial Com mission for preparing tho French part of the Universal Ex hibition at London has just issued another circular, in which it announces that it cannDt attend to any applica tions for permission to exhibit which have reached it since the 15th of this month, except, however, fur grave reasons of general interest, such as a new discovery, or the making up of a deficiency in auy part of the French Exhibition. The rest of the document is taken up with a description of the Exhibition Palace nou in course of construction in Lon don. The Commission states that the total surface pre sented by the building, and its annexes will be 101,203 square metres, of which 82,195 in the building and 15,684 in the annexes are set apart for manufactured productions, 7,210 in the building for find arts, and 3,114 also in the building for buffets. At Paris, in 1855, the total surface was 168,202 square metres—manufactures occupying 56,007 in the Palace and 74,389 in the annexes, fine arts 16,150 in the annexes, the rest being set apart for buffets. THE MAGAZINES. Blackwood's Magazine. The first article is called "Democracy teaching by Example," and refers to the strange events that are transpiring in America. It begins by stating that a question frequently heard in America is, " What do they think of us in England ?" and it goes on to remark, "Do they not know that we must feel as all men feel in viewing the exposure of the empty pretensions of a bully, and that we can not even pretend to keep our countenance when the exploits of the Grand Army of the Potomac are fill ing all Europe with inextinguishable laughter. If everybody is amused when ancient Pistol is made to eat his leek, why should we be grave when a whole nation of Ancient Pistols are enacting a screaming farce, and moreover a farce containing a moral for all mankind ?" There are some very true observations regarding this crisis in American affairs, and most readers will subscribe to their validity. We find also this passage of our own country's superiority over other States—" Amid the crash and chaos of governments and peoples England still rears her head a landmark for the wrecks of nations. We still offer to the political Edipus the grand enigma whose solution is liberty, while the constitution framed in the time of our fathers, by the light of all experience, to be the shame of the past, the glory of the present, the example of the future is gone like a bubble on the stream." " Chronicles of Carlingford" is the beginning of a well-written tale, that contains some good de scriptions of character. "Nettie," the wonderful colonial maid, is a most successful sketch. In the next instalment there will probably be some strik ing scenes met with. " Meditations on Dyspepsia" reaches the second part, and now proclaims The Cure. It is a sensible article, and contains some advice that is sure to prove efficacious if followed, though very many may profess to ignore its value because it is not palatable. These remarks on the evil that is wrought by over-working the young are most true, and especially applicable to the present day, when so much is done to force chil dren forward at the expense of their health and strength. " Parents and guardians who are over anxious to stimulate the laudable ambition of their youthful charges would de. well to remember the advice of honest Roger Ascham against over straining the bow, and to take care that they do not injure the bodily health and enfeeble the intellects of those whose welfare they are desi rous to promote by urging them to undertake tasks beyond their strength and capacity, and by denying them that wholesome recreation which is suitable to their years." After some observations on the folly of the " cramming system" of the present day, when all possibility of thought is precluded, so that the knowledge received is valueless, the writer illus trates in this impressive passage the dangers that accrue from over-exertion. " When we behold around us the number of pale and emaciated beings who seem to be tottering to their graves ere yet they have reached the meridian of mankind and reflect how many more have fallen victims to habits of unremitting study, we cannot but deplore a sys tem that leads to such disastrous results. The youth ambitious of obtaining a kirk, buries himself in an attic, and reads from morning till past midnight without intermission, until disease fastens on his frame, and then, instead of mounting the pul pit, he is measured for a grave in the kirkyard. The lawyer in splendid practice looks forward to the dignity of the bench, and meanwhile labours to accummulate a fortune. The work pnves too much for him, he allows himself neither rest, nor exercise, falls into bad health, disappears from the bar, and 10, in the obituary a notice that the famous Mr. Pleughell is no more ! Who is that poor fellow cogitating by the side of the Lake of Como ? That, sir, is the celebrated author over whose works you have laughed and wept alternately. Pressed by the book sellers he has wrought himself into a consumption, and never will again behold the primroses blossom. ing in the lap of May." " The Book-Hunters Club" contains some very curious anecdotes, and it will well repay perusal by all who like to dwell on the quaint customs of an elder generation. There are some smart verses entitled " What seems to be happening just now with the Pope." They are replete with the witticism which so often dis tinguishes the verses in this periodical. " Captain Clutterbuck's Champagne" is the first part of a West Indian Reminiscence, it' is rather an elaborate tale and bids fair to be rather tragic in its denouement. " Among the Lochs" is a narrative of some passages in the Archdeacon's holiday. It is an amusing sketch, and contrasts favourably with the heavier articles. There is a papa. on "Social Science," which contains some truths, but does not on the whole do justice to the undertaking that has recently been so well received, and the general opinion of the public has been in favour of these meetings, while the names of those who preside are of themselves sufficient evidence of the importance of the undertaking and the ability of its founders. The more the principles of science are understood the greater the benefits conferred, andf the more the inhabitants of the earth understand the wisdom of their Great Creator the better for themselves, and the generations that shall succeed them. The more they study the glories of Creation in their sublimity and beauty the fuller they will appreciate them and the more readily they can join in the song of praise which the poet has attributed to the shining lights in the firmament of Heaven. " In reason's ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice, For ever singing as they shine, The Hand that made us is divine." Fraser's .Magazine. Frazer for this month is unusually good. It opens with a paper from the pen of one whose writings can never fail to secure attention and respect. When Mr. Stuart Mill gives us an essay on Utilitarianism we are certain, whatever m a y be our opinion of tile theory itself, that it will be set forward in the strongest possible light, and advo cated in the clearest and most powerful manner. Into the question itself we have not space to enter, as it involves a discussion of the principles of morality and the laws which should regulate human. actions. We can only say, what is perhaps super fluous, that the article displays deep thought and ingenious reasoning, and will amply repay perusal. Another paper which will at once attract the reader, is by thepopular essayist A.K. H.:B. Wearethemore ready to commend this contribution as of late he has somewhat flagged in his energies. Whether suc cess had rendered him careless of style and sub ject, or whether, as is more probable, it had tempted him to too frequent and too continuous effort, is uncertain, but we are glad in the essay before us to recognise the old vigour of tone, and genial common sense which has so often delighted the readers of FraBer's Magazine. His discourse is " Concerning people of whom more might have been made." The reader acquainted with his style may readily imagine how he treats such a subject in all its varying aspects, and shows us how much more might have been made of all of us physically, morally, intellectually, socially ; and how the little mistakes, the wrong turn taken at one special point has served, like the diverging lines at a railway junction, to bear us fur away from our previous des tination. " Was there not a time," he asks, "in a certain great man's life, at which the lines of rail diverged, and at which the question was settled, should he be a minister of the Scotch Kirk, or should be Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain ? I can imagine a stage in the history of a lad in a counting-house, at which the little angle of rail may be pushed back, that shall send the train to one of two places five hundred miles asun der; it may depend upon whether he shall take or not take that half crown, whether 30 years after he shall be taking the chair a rubicund baronet at a missionary society meeting, and receive the commendations of philanthropic peers and earnest bishops, or be labouring in chains at Norfolk Island, or a brutalized, cursing, hardened, scourge scarred, despairing wretch, without a hope for this life or the other." In another place he says— "Even in the best, we see no more than the rudiments of good qualities which might have been developed into a great deal more ; and in very many human beings proper management might have brought out qualities essentially different from those which they now possess. it is not merely that they are rough diamonds, which might have been polished into blazing ones; not merely that they are thorough-bred colts drawing coal-carts which, with fair training, might have been new Eclipses; it is that they . arc vinegar which might have been wine, poison which might have been food, wild-cats which might have been harmless lambs, Soured miserable wretches who might have been happyand use fal, almost devils, who might have been but a liitle lower than the angels. Oh I the unutterable sad ness that is in the thought of what might have been." Truly does our author call the missed chances and misapplied energies of life melancholy themes for reflection. He expresses the only real consolation when he says—" If a man acted for the best accord ing to the light ho had, and if he truly believes that God puts all in their places in life, he may look back without bitterness upon what may appear the most grievous mii , take," The moral of the essay is contained in one sentence, when it says—" The grac3ful vase that stands in the drawingroom under a glass shade, and never goes to the well, has no great right to despise the rough pitcher that goes often and is broken at last." And without calling to mind the three great instances which our author cites of men who, as it were, stumbled upon their destiny, Shakspeare, Napoleon, and Wel lington, or "the many Folletts who never held a brief; many Deans who never acted but in barns; many Vandykes who never earned more than six pence a day ; many Goldsmiths who never were I better than penny-a-liners ; many Michaels who never - built their St. Peter's," we may truly agree with him, when he arrives at the conclusion that in one sense or another his essay includes, in the words of the famous old psalm, "All people that on earth do dwell !" " Barren Honour," by the author of " Guy Livingstone" is continued in that author's brilliant, but occasionally strained and somewhat fitful style. We fear trouble awaits the lovers. " Good for Nothing, ' by the clever writer of" Digby Grand," proceeds with interest, though the part before us is not very eventful. There is an excel lent article on " The Sunday Question," treating it as it seldom is treated, with calmness and sense and moderation—the writer disclaiming alike any wish to assimilate our national Sunday to the conti nental holiday or the Puritan Sabbath. He gives a succinct account of the various edicts on this subject. Coming to the Blue Laws of Connecticut, established by the P aritan emigrants, he says, justly enough, that it is difficult to believe that men who had said and done so much in behalf of religious liberty should have shown such utter dis regard of the principle, for which they had been contending. This remarkable antagonism between precept and practice appears pretty strongly in their descendants of the present day. There is much sound sense in this article which we commend to the attention of Scotch Puritans and English Pha risees, Ni ho would do well to consider the alterna tive, which the writer puts strongly before them in the following sentence :—" If you condemn harm less amusement on a Sunday as Sabbath-breaking, and denounce Sabbath-breaking as a deadly sin, you are almost sure to end, either in making people hypocrites, or else in making them reckless of all restraint on that day or any other." There are many other articles of interest, the most important being a paper on Austria and Hungary, which takes a review of the disjointed and disaffected pro vinces which compose that effete empire, and re joices that its days are numbered. The New Monthly Magazine. The most prominent feature in this number is the commencement of a new story by the clover and original author of•" East Lynne." It will be a satis faction to chose readers who have been accustomed to follow with interest the troubled fortunes of Lady Isabel Vane and Richard Hare, to find the blank left by their absence so quickly supplied by the same indefatigable pen. " The Shadow of Ashly dyat" is the title of the new tale, and it has some thing of the supernatural blended with it, in order to indulge that taste for the startling and horrible to which this able and vigorous writer is a little too prone. The Shadow of Asblydyat is a mysteri ous shade which darkens over an open plain when sorrow or disaster await the geodly house of Godol phin—owners of Ashlydyat. It reminds us of the traditionary light which Scott tells us still blazes— " When fate is nigh, The lordly line of high St. Clair." More human interests, however, are concerned in the story, and we have already a somewhat inconstant hero and two fair rivals, a stalwart old knight grown feeble, and his mischief-making, wilful wife, besides many other characters. Sir Nathaniel devotes the forty-fourth number of his "Notes on Noteworthies," to " Rienzi, the Last of the Tribunes." As usual, there is little original matter in the sketch, but many quotations from varying authorities. The singular career of Cag liostro is the subject of a brief paper, giving the outline of a life which which would be termed pre posterous if described in the pages of fiction. " Granville de Vigne " is continued in its accus tomed strain, recounting at full length the moral ising speeches of selfish men of the world who wish • to be considered Timons, but who continue to mix in all the amusements of the day nevertheless; and the flippant conversation of a young lady of eighteen, whose favourite reading is De Montespan's Me moirs, varied by Buckle's and Mills's writings, She complains, moreover, of having read so much as a child that she hat exhausted the English, French, and Italian literatures, and it is therefore not sur prising that her head is turned by such an achieve ment. An interesting account of " The Americans at Home" will repay the reader. It is justly re marked that." the arrogance which has gradually taken possession of the masses and filled them with the confidence and the notion that any man could manage matters as well as another, has ended by checking the energy of really gifted men." The great men whose names the nation has to boast of, were chiefly men of the last century. The descrip tion of Ameriean cookery, which we cannot help thinking somewhat overdrawn,is ludicrouslypathetic and quite enough to frighten any epicure from crossing the Atlantic. There are other papers of varying merit and two poems which are likely to attract attention. One of them is entitled " Sunrise on Snowdon," by the graceful and cultivated author of " Ruins of Many lands," and the other being the continuation of W. C. Kent's interesting series of photographs of the poets, showing us Goldsmith at Edgware. The Unitrd kcervice Magazine. This number opens with a paper on Sandhurst College and Military Education, in which the pre sent system of education carried on there is consi dered. Under the head of " Idle Soldiery," the use ful employment of soldiers when in barracks is strongly advocated, both as a means of maintaining their health and keeping them from the public houses. Under the head of "The Future of the British Navy," the never-ending subject of iron plated ships is discussed. The writer reminds us that as yet all is theory, and that practice may tell a different tale. He observes, that if iron-plated vessels take the ground, it will be next to impos sible to get them off again. As regards the wooden wall, he thus remarks:— As regards wooden ships, however, wo feel satisfied that their day is not over. Sir John Hay, a captain of the navy, stated recently at Manchester, when discoursing learnedly upon the iron ship question, that the days of wooden ships were, in his opinion, numbered. Captain Hay ought to be an authority, for he is a member of the Iron Plate Com mittee, and has seen the effects of shot upon the strongest plates hitherto forged; but he has seen that the most mas-. sive plate is not indestructible by heavy shot. And if he has observed that no iron has yet been able to withstand the impact of heavy shot or bolts, how can ho predict the umversal adoption of the iron plate theory ? We contend that hitherto all is theory. A few guns have been dis charged, at intervals of several minutes, from gunboats or improvised batteries, but such isolated firing does not repre sent the prodigious effect of the simultaneous discharge of 20 or 30 heavy pieces of ordnance at a range of 50 yards. The days of wooden ships may be numbered, but we doubt if Sir John Dalrymple Hay, though he is not an old man, will live to see the last of them. Wood, wholly unprotected, may possibly be of not much longer continuance; and if it is proved that one -inch or two-inch plates will suffice to break the shells, we shall have got as far towards protection as we can reasonably expect to go, having reference always to what must be considered the essential condition of a ship. One of the perils to which these enormous iron ships will be particularly liable, will be that of taking the ground. It will be a miracle, or next to a miracle, if an iron .plated ship which grounds ever floats again. The Black Prince grounded on her way down the Clyde to Greenock, but she was without an iron plate upon h er s id es . Had the acci dent happened to that ship after she was loaded with 1,000 tons of plates, it is not difficult to pronounce upon the con sequences. To sum up our argument, therefore, we are of opinion that three-decked ships will exist no longer; that two-deckers may be continued for flag-ships and home or Mediterranean service • but that 50-gun f r i ga t es , 20- gun corvettes, and the e ffective small screw-ships now in com mission, will hold their own for many a long year; while Warriors, and other monsters of her class, will, after due experiment, be found most useful as substitutes for the block-ships now doing duty as coast-guard ships. When speaking of the future of the British navy, how ever, we must recur to one of the points previously glanced at—it is the iig of our ships. The one solitary idea which seems to pervade the Admiralty mind is, that three masts must be put into the Plover of 450 tons, and no more into the Warrior of 6,500. Three masts, like the bed of Pro crustes, must be made to accommod a t e the longest and the shortest. The ship 120 feet in length must be rigged with three masts, * and so must the one of 400 feet. If the Lords of the Admiralty, accompanied by that talented admiral, the Controller of the Navy, would but for a moment lay aside their official pens, and embark on board the Green wich steamer, they would be able to note as they passed through the Pool a number of fine models of coasting steamers, rigged upon the principle of common sense. They are ships which make rapid passages, carry few hands, con tend with heavy gales, and rarely fail in keeping their time. They are masted according to their length —some with four, others with three, and some with two masts. They sail well, and, if their engines break down, manage to make their port under canvas. Or let them go to Southampton, and see the ocean steamers of the Peninsular and Oriental, or West India Mail Company ; or visit the disabled Great Eastern, paying particular attention to the rig of that ship —the most sensible part of the whole concern, In a chapter on the expenses of our ships of war, some extraordinary statistics of the cost of repairs in certain ships as compared with others are fur nished. These returns seem to be got up with a view of leaving everybody in the dark about the goings on in our dockyards; and it concludes with an expression of the conviction that every year the public will expect the returns to be more explanatory and that the reformation which is slowly taking place would be much expedited if another Joseph Hume would spring up in the House of Commons, and challenge all unaccountable expenses in the dockyards, and call to account every case of mis. management and jobbing in the Admiralty. In a treatise on angular targets, it is shown that, although by inclining on 4 plate at an angle of fifty der,rees, it will present a depth of metal of 6 inches°four , fifths to resist the impost of a shot fired horizontally yet that the extra surface required to obtain the necessary vertical elevation would entail a weight of metal equal to that contained in pvaerretdica platesand 6 inches in thickness. Cavalry tactics and the v armament is again the subject of an article: li T e h British and French cavalry are emu question generally considered. We have a n seco t n he article on soldiering in the United. naStates an ; sit; is anything but favourable to the T A h m :- Tlitary commences with the remark oectur e ed P have never been considered a e Americanata h n a d t the late eveute which have country serve to strengthen that opinionnd however bravo they may be as individuals, yet' cer tainly as a body but little can be said of their prowess as an army." It is further maintained that in the War of Independence last century their success was in a great measure attributable to the restriction put upon the English generals b"y the authorities at home, and that in 1812 and 1814 tvey were repulsed by far inferior forces on the Canadian frontier, and after going through the extraordinary transactions which have lately taken place on the other side of the Atlantic, the writer rather leans to the side of the Southerners, whose discipline he considers to be superior to that of the Federals, and ho thus concludes : The 7th (Ohio) regiment, under Colonel Tyler, has lately given us a specimen of American military know ledge. It appears that this corps was on the march in the immediate vicinity of the eaemy, but wanted their break fast, and halted to take it. All were so anxious about it, that they never posted sentries, or took any common pre caution. Tho enemy soon discovered them, and spoiled their breakfast by killing 15 men and wounding 40, while a great many are missing. Martial law has been proclaimed in many parts. The State of Missouri seems to suffer greatly, as the property of those who do not join the rebels is immediately destroyed. In a short time all will be ruined. No crops will be got in throughout this State, and the people must starve during tho next winter. The same may be said of the State of Virginia, as there has been a large force there for some time; it being the principal seat of warfare, must suffer like every other place similarly situated. In short, only two things can happen—either the South will be successful, and become the assailant, and perhaps the conqueror ; or, if the North be successful, it will be at the cost of a discipline to which no free people ever sub.; mitted before. In the first case the States will become the prey of an oligarchy founded on slavery, and in the other case it will be a constitutional freedom, directed and re-. strained by bayonets. But it can hardly be imagined that the States can over again remain as a body. ,They have now discovered that their habits, customs, and above al], their interests, are so widely different, that most probably they will divide into small states, and be no longer cm tinned under one great head ; for as dissension has laecome so widely spread throughout, it will be next to impossible they can ever amalgamate or become united again ; and perhaps it would be better for them if a division could be agreed upon which would be more suitable to the different classes of citizens which compose the different sections of that unhappy country. "Anglo-Indian Society," by Syllouk, part 3, con tains amusing incidents of social life in India. " A Narrative of Adventures on the West Coast of Africa" is concluded, but although the topogra phical details show the author's knowledge of the localities which ho describes, the second part does not maintain the interest which the first created. " Sanitary Reform," " The Ottoman Empire," and. " The History of the Juangas or Puttoas, and some other Forest Races," complete the number. The Cornhill Magazine. " The Adventures of Philip on his way through the World," which occupies the first place does not improve as it advances. The story in fact becomes heavy and unnatural, and few in reading it would imagine that it was written by the' author of Vanity Fair and the Newcomes. There are many passages which are cleverly and smartly written, but as a whole one tires of it. The Paris correspondent of a London journal does not walk about with holes in his boots and a threadbare coat, nor can a man without the manners of a gentleman (which Philip Firman certainly does not possess) mix in that society in which it is indispensible that a correspondent must to fulfil his duties with anything like efficiency. The second chapter is on the subject of force. What the writer's exact object is we are somewhat at a loss to comprehend. He takes us back to the days of Neptune and Pro tens (whenever that epoch may have been) to ex plain one condition of force, and enumerates many well-known facts to explain what is patent to all. However, if novelty has a charm, this paper is certainly beautiful. The story of "Bob Lambert" is amusing, and is followed by an interesting paper on the " Herring Harvest in Scotland." A long account of the modus operandi is given in a very graphic manner, and show that the writer is thoroughly conversant with his subject. "The Struggles of Brown, Jones, and Robinson" is con tinued, and although there is nothing remarkably clever in it, yet the quaint way in which Robinson describes his own discomfiture and the success of his large and pugnacious rival, the butcher; the quarrels of the sisters and the use less endeavours of poor old Mr. Brown to keep all on friendly terms, are full of interest. Plate No. VII. of " Bird's-eye Views of Society" is a sketch of a picture-sale, and the various expressions of countenence are, like its pred ecessors , very cleverly executed.ln a paper on " Physiognomy" it is stated that physiognomy as a science has - not advanced a step beyond the point at which Lavater left it fourscore years ago, and the reasons why and wherefore are discussed. We have also an account of " The First German Shooting-match," and a continuation of Mrs. Beecher Stowe's roman tie tale of " Agnes of Sorrento: ' 2.11 E HARP:EST IN _FRANCE. The long-con tinnFd dry weather of which farmers and millers have been complaining was varied last week by some heavy rain, which has enabled the farmers to commence the sowing of their winter crops and the millers to resume their operations. The fortunate circumstance has powerfully aided the reaction which took place in the Paris corn and flour markets last week. Bakers have sus pended their purchases, although millers have re duced their prices lf. 50c. the sack of 157 kilo grammes. Choice samples were offered on Saturday at 92f. the sack, the first marks at from 90f. to 91f., and inferior quality from 87f. to 89f. Samples of Spanish wheat have been offered for delivery in October. Flour of the six marks had fallen 4f. the sack. It was quoted eight days since at 93f. ; it has declined gradually to 89f. Even at this price it is not easy to find purchasers. The factors declared on Saturday 1,592 sacks of flour, of which 85 sacks only of first quality sold for delivery within 30 days at from 85f. to 94f. the sack. There was not much farmers' wheat offered for sale in the Paris market on Wednesday. The holders of samples demanded the prices of the preceding week, but in order to effect sales they found it necessary to concede lf. on the sack of 120 kilogrammes. Choice samples were Naught for 50f. the sack ; first quality, 48f. 50c. to 49f. ; and inferior, 47f. 50c. to 48f. Some samples of wheat in the hands of merchants from Bray, Montereau, and Sens, for which 49f. and 50f. were asked, were sold afterwards at from 47f. 50c. to 48f. the sack of 120 kilogrammes. Some sacks from the Allier, for which 48f. was de manded, could not find buyers. American wheat was not very plentiful in the Paris market. Buyers were equally scarce, and they offered only 41f. 800. and 43f. where the factors demanded 43f. and 451'. Hungarian wheat was offered at 44f. 50c. the 120 kilogrammes, delivered at the Paris termi nus, but there were no bargains concluded. In general, sales were difficult even at reduced prices. The Havre market has likewise been quiet, with a fall of If. the quintal on American wheat. The sales of American wheat during the last eight days do not exceed 50,500 quintals. The price of sound wheat varied from 33f. 25c. to 34f. 75c. the 100 kilo grammes. 9,519 barrels of flour were sold, of which 2,904 realised from 39f. 75e. to 40f. 75c. the cask of 88 kilogrammes, and 6,715 from 37f. 50e. to 401: There were 337,168 hectolitres of wheat, and 28,500 of maize, barley, and oats, imported into Marseilles last week. Under the influence of these large im portations and the accounts from Paris, price Weekd e aclminoeudntesdligtoht4ly4,s4oThneectosliatlreens of d uring the wheat for imme diate delivery, and 128,320 hectolitres for delivery at a latter period.

THE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH KENT RAlLW AY.—Yeaterday Mr. C. J. Carttar held an inquest on the young man who was so frightfully mutilated near the Ars ena l S tat i on on the previbus Thursday night. llis name was George Punslow. A verdict of accidental death Was returned. THE WESTERN FISIIERIES.--At St. Ives (Corn wall) a quantity of pilchards have been taken. On ono day a few boats that shot for pilchards on the drift took from 3,000 down to 1,000 each, which sold at from 2s. 4d., per 100. On the following day the drift boats brought in. from 3,000 to 5,000 pilchards. At Mount's Bay the boats took from 700 to 2,000 of remarkably fine fish per boat. One of the boats was capsized by a gust of wind, and two men, named John Richards and Deeblo Tonkin, were drowned. On Wednesday the seines at Mullion shot and took up 14 hogsheads of fish, On the Devonshire coast also a quantity of pilchards and other fish have been taken iciwipg the week,
