Citizen is arrayed against citizen. The only argument at tended to is that of " the strong arm." Law is, for the time being, completely set aside. The conflict is waged to the knife ; and the old pioneers, the Boos and HARRODS, could they again revisit the scene of their earthly pilgrimage, might suppose that the Indians had regained their former strength, and were onco more fight ing for their squaws and wigwams. It is not, however, a contest between moo of different races ! The "pale faces " are them selves avenging the wrong 3 inflicted on their red brethren. Their victorious arms are now directed against each other, and a war, almost of exterini nation, is carried oa almost without mercy or con sideration for the other side. Civil dissension is, indeed, gnawing with viperous tooth the bowels of the common weal ; for the entire community is deeply concerned in the result. The most im portant problem of the day awaits the fate of the " Domestic Institution," as it has been emphati cally designated ; or, in other words, slavery in its most revolting phases is involved in the event. The slaveowners have set their lives and fortunes on the cast, and it is but simple justice to say that they are displaying a degree of seal and energy worthy of a better cause. They aro like the knight errants of old, ready to fight to the last drop of their blood on behalf of that which they have determined to support, per fits atilt vefas. The Northerns, too, aro awaking from their for mer apathy. They see at length the vital conse quence of the issue, and are exerting themselves accordingly. But they are only actuated by the love of truth and justice ; while their opponents are stimulated by cupidity and the love of arbi trary power—the evil principles which efeite men to the most gigantic exertions. There is, however, a rival enlistment going ou in the different States--nominally to encourage emigration, but really to obtain hardy and deter mined soldiers, who will fight to extremity on the side under which they have enlisted. If left to themselves there could be but little doubt as to the result. The cause of truth and justice, sup ported by the hardy Northerns, would unques tionably prevail. But President PlPllteg has chosen to cast the whole weight .f his power into the pro-slavery scale. He has instructed the federal troops to assist the Southerns and oppose the Northerns on every occasion when there is the slightest possible excuse for so doing. Kansas is for the time being the "cockpit" of the Federal Republic. It is there that the " outposts 4 are now engaged. But it will be impossible long to maintain neutrality. The disease will spread throughout the entire nation, and every State will feel bound to send its contingent to the party which it supports. At present it is a race between the rival points of the compass. The South has in some respects the advantage, but the superior stamina of the other side must tell in the l ong run ; and we must remember that " the race i s not always to the •swift," although we trust that " the battle may be for the strong." Under such circumstances, ordinary rules must be dispensed with ; and Governor REEDER, of New York, has come forward with a degree of enthusiasm which will reflect imperishable lustre on his name. His admirable speech, which we published in extenso in cur impression of yester day, places the question on a right basis, so that he who runs may read. He declares the nature of the only remedy that can prove efficacious : "Unless men are raised and put upon the soil of Kansas, supported, sustained, and fed. there, she will be lost." This may be considered an extreme proceeding. But the exigency of the case requires it, and it is but fol lowing the example long since set by their oppo nents. If ever it was right to be taught by an enemy it is so in the present instance. You cannot meet men who set all laws at defiance according to the strict letter of the law. In such cases rules that WOlii under diarcut circum stances be excellent servants, become rigid a n d Wadeable, taakmaltore. Tho Southornis hay° subscribed and enlisted men for the contest—the Northerns must do the same, unless contented to be distanced in the encounter, and to be compelled eventually to fight on behalf of their own positions. Germanism is in the ascendant in Paris as well as in London. " Steps have already been taken to prevent the collection of subscriptions for the purpose of purchasing 100 guns for the protec tion and armament of the fortress of Alessandria." Such is the answer of the Government of the Tuileries to the insolent demand of the Austrian charge d'Affaires, which imperiously demanded the prohibition of the unwelcome demonstra tion. It was, in fad, a labour of love, that required no prompting ! Sardinia had been our ally in the late war, had set a brilliant example to the Imperial and Royal faineants, who so grossly disregarded their duties, and hung back in the dark hour of danger and distress. Therefore, Sardinia should be dis couraged, and every effort in her favour sup pressed with the strong arm. Sardinia is the recognised champion of Italian free dom, Austria its oppressor ; therefore must every Austrian desire be promptly anticipated, and every kgitini fate expression of sym pathy for Piedmont discouraged. This is truly Imperial logic, but we greatly doubt if it will find any echo either in France or England. We ask under what /ate has this insolent de mand been put forward ? What power is the re of carrying it into practical execution ? We kno w that PETS. " the Cruel, the Cunning, the Greedy"—(we could multiply titles far more applicable than the abused term " the Great") — demanded the execution of the Sheriff of Middle sex, who permitted the arrest of one of his Am bassador's servants. But even he was obliged to be contented with the assurance that Queen ANNE had not the power to comply with his request, and Louts NAPOLEON might (if his heart were not in the cause) have made a similar answer ; for there can be no doubt on the point. There is no war between Sardinia and Austria. There can therefore be no breach of the neutrality laws—no point on which any despot can take hold, or found a just complaint. If at this moment we chose to subscribe for the purpose of replacing the cannon taken from Sebastopol the Government could not interfere. Nor can they do so with Sardinia. Austria might as well complain of the loan granted to that Government, and if the voluntary exertions of the peoples of either country produce so gratifying and, probably, so useful a testimonial to VICTOR EMMAITUEL, Austria must simply bear it as she best can. We say advisedly that there is no legal power to arrest its progress either in France or England ; and that if authority be so far strained in the farmer country, it will only lead to its being quadrupled, aye, made tenfold in England, where we defy and laugh at any undue and illegal in terference with our just rights. There can be little question as to the value of transportation as a penal remedy. Hence we are by no means surprised to find among the resolutions of the Select Committee on the sub ject oie to the effect " that the punishment of transportation is more effectual and deterring, better adapted for the ultimate reformation of convicts, and more beneficial to this country than any other secondary punishment far serious crimes which has yet been tried." By this description of punishment we got rid of the majority of convicts " for good," were enabled to deal with them effectively, and on the expiration of their appointed term to hold out to them every encouragement to be honest, and otherwise to submit themselves to the requirements of the law. The proposition is indisputable, nay, we will go further and cordially join in the recommendation of the Committee "that the sentence of transporta tion be continued so far as her MAJESTY'S domi nions may afford safe and proper facilities for the purpose." The inferiority of the present system is palpable to the meanest understanding. Not merely the ticket-of-leave men, but those also whose depravity is so great that tickets of leav e cannot be conceded to them, find every one of them their way back into society when their term is ended, no 1 ;.,7 , to its danger and detriment— for there is but, little temptation can be held out to them to conduct themselves with propriety for the future. It is quite probable als) that the locale was better adapted than the hulks or the confined areas where convicts are now em ployed for their moral amelioration. Let us have a continuation then of the sentence of transporta tion, if by that is implied a continuation also of the accessories which gave the punishment its principal value. But how are we to set about it ? The reader will have noticed the qualification of the recom mendation of the Committee—" so far as her MAJESTY'S dominions may afford safe and proper facilities for the purpose." Here is the rub. Whore are we to find colonies wherein to subject our convicts to the discipline needful for their re formation, and to offer them when liberated oppor tunity readily to obtain the means of living so as to be preserved from want, that all-powerful temptation to crime ? Western Australia is the only receptacle at present available, and. Western Australia takes only a small proportion of the best class of males, and rejects female convicts alto• gether, besides being very expensive. In the five years ending 1855, we are told upwards of 400,0001. had been spent in getting rid of less than 4,000 convicts, of which sum a considerable item was devoted "to finding employment for ticket-of-leave men, who, in so small a colony, cannot find private masters." Islands may doubt less be found wherein to pour the black tide of our criminals, but where shall we find any in whioh the honest men shall be so numerous and in such a condition as to be able to employ and re strain the thieves? The transportation we could desire differs widely from the only transportation apparently open to us. Is the latter worth what it will cost ? Doubtless so far as transporta tion operated as a determent it will to the full as effective, more so, possibly, at Gibraltar or Bermuda, than it was at the Anti podes. T u b e r i d of our convicts as we wish, however, employment must be found for them abroad, and to this a host of objections will be started, including, perhaps, the fatal one that such a scheme would be found impracticable. The suggestion of some of the witnesses, appa rently adopted by the Committee, " that in more serious cases a sentence should be passed of transportation or penal servitude to be carried is worthy o f cons id era ti on. out in prisons abroad" Its adoption would lead to the settlement of a very difficult question, for it would then be seen what advantages convict establishments abroad and if have over such establishments at home, these proved great the obstacle of increased expenditure might be surmounted.

The latter seized hold of the musket by the barrel, and, turning it aside, laid the man dead at the feet of the Count do Pourtales with a blow from a hatchet. He then secured his prisoner, who had been before this severely wounded in the head, and would have been now killed by his capturer , had not some one interposed and prevented it. it. de Pourtales offered the man I,ooof. if he would allow him to make his escape, but the volunteer rejected the offer with disdain, and tearing off the decora tions which the count wore, threw them in his face. Colonel Denzler at this moment came up, and the count was removed to a place of safe cus tody. The prisoners, to the number of 500, are confined in the church. Count de Pourtales Georgier, and MM. do Rougemont, Tarrisse, de Petitpierre de Wesdehlen, and Lardy, an advocate, were arrested in a vineyard. Colonel de Meuron was taken at Fribourg, and another of the counts de Pourtalbs at Estavager. There were three members of the family of Pourtales engaged in the affair. One was killed, and the others are pri soners." The New Gazette of Prussia attributes the late outbreak at Neufchatel to the rivalry which exists between the railroad company of Verriere, which is supported by the Royalists, and the line of the Jura, which is favoured by the Radicals. The Belgian and German papers very deservedly ridi cule this absurd interpretation of the unsuccessful royalist attempt. THE PEEL PAPERS. Memoirs of the Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel, Bart., M.P., &e. Part I. The Roman Catholic Ques tion.lB2B-9. Edited by L or d M a h on ( now Earl Stanhope) and the Right Hon. Edward Cardwell, M.P. Vol. I. John Murray. Opening this initial volume of the posthumous explanations, or autobiographic memorials of Sir Robert Peel, with eager curiosity —we close it and lay it aside with mingled feelings of chagrin and disappointment. Not but that it is completely triumphant as a vindication. For it is that—and much more than that : it is, in its way, to our thinking, a masterpiece of lucid condensation, a comprehensive repertory of political arguments re lating to a theme of the very last importance, and, above all, a revelation of elevated principle, and of conscientious scrupulosity eminently well-befitting the foremost statesman of his generation. The source of disappointment, therefore, be it said, at once is discoverable neither in the theme of this frag ment of an autobiography, nor in the person of this fragmentary autobiographer. It is traceable solely to the inappositeness of the period selected ; for its publication. Time was when the volume 1 1 now exam• • inea, comparatively speaking,with so much 1 apathy--would have set the whole of the political mind of England in a flame. The all-exciting in , finance of the question it relates to having long since passed away like the enthralling glamour of some bewitchie,g legend of romance—its interest, the in ,terec:, "Dead and gone" of a tale th a t i s t o ld ! It i s loft only nowad a y s for some fanatical prig like the son of Spencer Percival toavew in so many words(as that , unworthy offspring of a worthy sire has recently avowed in so many words)—" So cordially do I hate all Papists that I would, at the beginning of every Session, place a notice of motion on the votes of Parliament for the repeal of the odious act of 1829 ; and if the only voter in its favour I would resolutely divide against it"—adding with little less than blasphemous indecorum " I am a Protestant, and as a Protestant I revere and almost to idolatry adore, our Most Gracious Sovereign ; but oh, and ' absit omen,' if she became a Papist, I for one (and I have no doubt I should be followed by mil lions, nay, tens of millions, of stanch Protestants) I would hoist the standard of rebellion against her." Needs it to be whispered, upon all which, that the , day has gone by for the echoing, either within the House or without the House, of the ravings of any such ribald and ridiculous rhodomontade ? One can no more resuscitate the agitation about the 1 Act of 1829 than one could possibly do the same by the Act of 1846. It wore nothing less of a miracle than the creation of a soul under the ribs of Death. The epitaph of each has been long ago written and emblazoned in very legible charac ters over its tomb, and that, moreover, without the consolatory promise, to the more infatuated adherents of an expired cause, implied by the pro phetic verb Resurgam ! In either case, the corse has, ytars and years ago, crumbled away utterly into dust, and " even in their ashes," lives not one spark of those wonted fires that time atone lit up thecountry from endto end, far and wide, in one vast social conflagration. The Catholic Question is done with—the Corn Law Question is dcne with—for once and for all—the former since 1829, the latter since 1846. As well attempt to restore the villan ous old Penal Enactments to the statute-book, and to enforce them when so restored, as hope for one instant to close the ports against the free imports.- tion of grain into England, as in the narrow-minded, close-fisted time known as the evil days of Protection. Mr. Percival's son may foam over with a religious, or perhaps we should rather say more correctly an irreligious, rabidity like that of Lord George Gor don. Mr. Ferrand's lineal descen3ants to the third and fourth generation may babble out th e o ld sophistical platitudes familiar to the agricultural mind before the well-remembered apparition of the famous League of Manchester—but, in spite of all, in each instance the Question has been dofi naively settled, the die thrown, the stake seized, the goal passed, the crown won, the Giant of Bigotry in one instance, the Giant of Monopoly iu the other, toppled down, beheaded like Goliath "with his own sword," buried, forgotten, obliterated. And so destroyed—both of them—that neither can be revived even hypothetically for the simple pur pose of any lengthened re-examination. Ifoonclusive testint my of this be required, it is discernable at once in regard to the Catholic Question, in regard to the Act of 1829, as recalled to popular remembrance under the illuminating influence of this really luminous and indisputably important fragment of Sir Robert Peel's deliberate and candid Autobio graphy. Time fame of Sir Robert, his resplendent popularity, his lofty and dignified reputation fail, all of them together, aided as they are in the in stance before U 9 by all the graces of his rhetoric, totally and signally fail to rekindle in the pub lic mind anything like an earnest interest in the gradual rise, and prolonged agitation, and conclusive settlement of the Catholic Question. People nowadays are too much engrossed in con sidering the vital interests of their own age, in terests involved first of all in a bungled War, and afterwards in a disgraceful Peace—to care very much for "pottering over" long-forgotten blue-books, for turning over old files of news papers, for ransacking any of the far back pages of Mansard in relation to triumphs w on i n 1846 by the " unadorned eloquence" of Richard Cobden, or to victories no less signal in their way achieved as far back as 1829, by the highly-coloured oratory of Daniel O'Connell, the Tribune of the Irish de mocracy ! Granted, as we have already explicitly granted, that the important volume under con sidetation—the initial volume of the " Memoirs of Sir Robert Peel," Part I. The Roman Catholic Question, 1828.9—is complete, is perfect, as far as anything of the kind can be perfect, as a posthu mous vindication. Granted all this : and yet must we add to all this that the book is read with weariness, and laid aside at last with feelings of disappointment. The truth of the matter being that it appears too late I It ought to have been given to the world sooner. Why it was not given to the world sooner is best known, of course, to the Trustees of Sir Robert, appointed as such by a memorable codicil to his last Will and Testament. Lord Stanhope and Mr. Cardwell, as joint editors of the work before us (in their capacity as Trustees of the " Peel Papers,") seem to imply, by one brief passage in their singularly curt and un satisfactory "Preface," a certain consciousness that they may possibly have been at fault in their lengthened and altogether unaccountable procras tination. Otherwise, after the extraordinary de lay that has taken place since the lamented death of Sir Robert Peel in 1850, and thia tardy publieas tion of 'Volume One of hie Memoirs in 1856, they would never have gone perversely out of their way to remark that." Considering the perfect order and arrangement in which these, and nearly all the other MSS. were found, it would have been easy for the Editors to send them to press forthwith"--eappending somewhat flippantly to this blunt acknowledgment the assertion f "That was not, however, tticitown opinion of their duty." Observing, after this, with a view, of course to the extenuation of their conduct in re gard to the delay : " When the claims to an en during renown are only few, or slight, it may be necessary to catch the popular fa - vour as it flies. But in the case of a truly great statesman, his fame has everything to gain, and nothing to lose, 1 by well-considered delay in the publication of his papers. Such delay affords a proof that there are no party or personal MotiteS to stileserVe ; it allows the party spirit in all other quarters to sub side ; it both induces and enables every reader to contemplate every question iii a calm, historic point 'of view," The trustees and editors of Eiir Robert Peel might have added, that it also allows the whole interest of the nation to die out in re gard to any particiilar toilio; shell tie this one of the " Qathelic question" —and reduces the entire voblern under our more immediate considera tion (that affecting their own Conanet rathor than the conduct of the great departed Statesman) to the estimate formed by different minds as to what previous delay ought most accurately to be designated as " well-considered." Leaving this still a moot-point with their readers, Earl Stan hope and Mr. Cardwell content themselves now with the vague promise of giving to the world tWO other volumes "after a certain interval," volumes following each other in chronological order, relat , ing (vol. ii.) to the circumstance., attending did formation of Sir Robert Peel's.. as' 1834-5, and (e o l :"` ' _. s first iviinistry in of 1810 • - _..iis to the inauguration of the act LI. , the trenchant Alexandrian Act severing ec —els of the Gordian Knot of the Corn Law question. " After a certain interval" these volumes are to appear, rather we are disposed to conjecture after a most uncertain interval, judging from the tardy advent of this pro ' limmary publication. Delayed as the work has been, it will prove inestimable nevertheless as an authority for consultation by the future Lingard or Macaulay—remaining, however, as we are firmly persuaded it must remain from first to last,-a sealed book to the vast majority of the popu lation. Apart altogether from the tardiness of its appears Pe., its contents, consiFe•ing rather of tine raw Materials of history than of the mellowed and ripened fruits of a 'systematic Autobiography.

The White Star packet-ship Sardinian has ar rived off Cork, in 75 days from Melbourne, with 64,000 ounces of gold. Her mails were landed this morning at Kinsale. TURIN, SEPT. 0. The Parnta Gazette of to-day announces that the state of siege will 139 raised to-morrow, the 10th inst. The uncondemned prisoners will be sent before the ordinary tribunals. A letter from Vienna of the sth, in the Co logne Gazette, says :—" It appears that the hope of inducing the King of Naples to make conces sions has been abandoned, for it is stated from a good source that Baron do Hubner has received orders to return here without passing by Naples." The same journal contains the following from Na ples of the Ist :—" Great preparations for defence are being made in the kingdom of the Two Sici lies. Three monthe ago all the commanders of the fortresses near the Mediterranean were con voked at Naples ; it was then not known for what they were assembled, but it is now certain that it was to provide for the execution of important de fensive works on the coasts. The works, in fact, have already been very actively undertaken. In the Isle of Capri, too, which it is desired to ren der impregnable, works are being executed with extraordinary ardour. Thirty-two cannons of the largest calibre have been taken to Gaete, where batteries are to be constructed. Cannon have also been taken to the coast of Calabria, when' other batteries are to be thrown up." We learn, by lettere from Bucharest, that Prince Ghika had departed from his resolution to main tain the status quo as bequeathed to him by Stir bey, and had changed his Ministry. There are some good names in the new Government. Two of its members are not Boyards—a deviation from precedent which is said to have astonished and dis pleased that privileged class. But the Boyards will do well to be prepared for other innovations of the kind, and foistbe loss of some of the monopolies they have hitherto unjustly enjoyed. With this exception, the Kaimakan's selection of Lis ad visers is likely to give general satisfaction in the Principality ; and it is to be hoped they will make good use of the time thaAi may still elapse before the Commissioners for the re-organisation assemble. It is stated in the German journals that Austria has offered to mediate between Turkey and the Montenegrins. M. de Prokesch Osten bad received instructions from his Government at Vienaa to treat the question at Constantinople. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 1. In a few days we shall have the the first quarter of the new moon, and with it the beginning of the Turkish new year. Since the last full moon, numbers of new Minis terial combinations are afloat, which are gaining every day more consistence as the period of the new moon advances. In all these combinations it is not so much the choice of persons which is re markable—all being modifications of a Redschid Ministry —as the unanimity with which the fact of a certain approaching chang e i s ma i n t a i ne d. Nobody ought to be surprised that the Turkish Government cannot come to any decision with respect to all the various schemes for the invest ment of foreign capital in industrial and commer cial. undertakings. As soon as one part of the Ministry takes up a scheme the others members become its natural adversaries, and will do every thing in their power to upset, or at any rate to retard it. As long as this state of things lasts there is no hope of anything besides vague pro mises being granted. The so-called National Banking Company has chosen a directing committee of it, and had on Saturday last an interview with the Grand Vizier and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, who promised to appoint a committee to negotiate with the' com pany. The company does not accept the project of the Government for the establishment of an Otto man Imperial Barilr, but intends to propose a pro ject of its own, which, how*ver, is not yet drawn up,...

Such French exiles as are in the Basque pro vinces arc to be forthwith removed to the interior of Spain. M. sie Kisseleff, the Russian Ambassador to the Cou , ..t of the Tuileries, is expected here shortly a brilliant retinue. A son of Prince Paske witch and other members of some of the first Rus sian families will form part of the personnel of the embassy. It is said to be the intention of Russia thus to acknowledge the great eclat that has been given, to the embassy of Count de Morny. The military portion of the latter mission is expected t* return to France immediately on the conclusion of the festivities of the coronation. To-day's Paris papers confirm the rstatement of those of Madrid that the Grand Cordon of the Legion of Honour has been conferred upon Mar• shall O'Donnell. The reported absence from Paris of the Minister of Foreign Affairs is incorrect. "It is said," says the Independance of Brussels, " that after the return of the Emperor, a contract of marriage between the youngest daughter of Prince Louis Lucien Bonaparte and the son of M. de Cambaceres will be presented 'to his Maj es ty for signature. The young man is auditor in the Council of State."

The CorrespondenCeltalie?tne has the following from Parma, dated the . !_',l instant " Some days ago Prince Jablonowsky, an Austrian Lieutenant-General, passed through Parma without seeing anybody, a circumstance which was remarked, as the General was at Parma the day the reigning Duke was murdered. Another Austrian superior officer, General Singer, likewise passed through, without stopping more than a few hours. The Austrian Government appears determined to maintain a strong military force at Parma. The Duchess Regent had consented to defray the expense of lodging one battalion of Austrian soldiers, when she was told by the Commander that the battalion in question, being on the war-footing, its effective force exceeded 1,000 men. The decree relative to the Castel-Sa❑ Giovanni Railway, which is to open a communication between Piacenza and Stradella, had not yet been signed by the Duchess, who was still awaiting the decision of the Austrian Govern ment on the subject." SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the sth contain nothing of much importance. The Gazette publishes a let ter from the Minister of War to the Inspector of Carbineers, directing the thanks of the Queen to be given to the 4th corn pony of that force, at Huesca, for having given up to the Government the extra pay for campaign service to which it was entitled from the month of July. M, °Allard° had been nominated member of the commission for drawing up the bill on the Council of State, in the room of M. Pacheco, minister plenipotentiary. General Dulce had ar rived in the capital from Saragossa. Rumours had been current that conferences relative to the pre vention of the salo of ecclesiastical property had taken place between high personages ; but they are declared unfounded. Baron de Grovestines, the Dutch Minister, had arrived in Madrid from a visit to the northern provinces. The diligence in which ho was travelling from Santander to Valladolid had been stopped by the band of Hierros, but he was treated with respect by them. It was reported that the new constitution and the organic laws were to bo promulgated in ten days ; also that a decree for the re-establishment of the octroi duties from the let Jan. next was about to be issued. CANADA. ARRIVAL OF THE ANGLO-SAXON. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY. This day, at five p.m., the Montreal Ocean Steam-ship Company's screw steamer Anglo-Saxon, Captain A.M. Masters, arrived in the Mersey. She sailed from Quebec on the 30th ult., and has brought, besides the mail, 125 passengers. One of her passengers (the Rev. J. J. Braine) died on the voyage. Boc-eral attempts have been made to fire the cities of San Francisco and Sacramento. Advices from Nicaragua to the 7th August say that matters are progressing prejudicially for Walker, and that the desertions from his army have been numerous ; and that another revolution had been suppressed in Costa Rica. Commercial affairs at Now York are in the same condition as when the Etna sailed. Money at Quebec was light. The breadstuff market was declining. Provisions unchanged. Timber was improving in price. Freights were staadily advancing, with a tendency still upwards. A letter from Berlin, of the sth, says :—" In the question of the Sound due; France, adhering to the opinion of England, has pronounced herself in faveur of the principle of purchase." A Berlin letter says that the King of Prussia is to leave that city on the 25th or 26th, to spend some time in the Rhenan provinces. His Majesty, it is added, is to be present at the consecration of a new church at Treves. King Otho arrived at Stutgardt on the sth, where he will remain for a few days. His Majesty was received by Count William de Wurtemberg and the Countess Theodorine, who came to congratu late him on his arrival in the name of the King. A letter from the Hague, of the Gth, says : " Prince and Princess Henry, and the Russian Minister, have left for Soestdijk to be present at a fete which will be given there to-morrow by the Queen Dowager of Holland, on the occasion of the coronation of the Emperor of Russia. On the 11th a grand dinner will be given by the Chevalier Lomonosoff, in honour of the same event." The -Car/smite Gazette publishes two decrees which empower the Prince Regent Frederick of Baden to assume the title of Grand Duke. The interest of these decrees has been neutralised by the telegraphic despatch which has already ac quainted us that the Grand Duke Louis had abdi cated in favour of his brother, and that the troops had sworn allegiance to the latter. A letter from Lucia of the 3d mentions the con demnation of several persons by the Supreme Court of the town to various degrees of imprison ment for having formed part of a republican con spiracy. The chid' members thereof, a schoolmaster named Marti_nelli, and a tailor named Peruzzi, have been condemned to 63 months' imprisonment in irons the others to much shorter periods of the same punishment.

LI is RATIJRE. Young Singleton. By Talbot Gwynno, author of "School for Fathers," &O. ? &o. 2 vols, Smith and Elder. The motto of this work is a peculiarly appropriate one,— "Poor wretch, thy g u ar di an ange l weeps," for if ever a pitying spirit mourned over an un happy mortal Richard Singleton, the hero of these pages, must have caused such regret. It is true that he was unfortunately situated, but -he turned whatever good there was about him to evil. A treat deal of skill is displayed in the delineation of us character, and a variety of incident, event, and aersonages diffuse animation over the story, and impart interest to the details. It is certain that for th© most part the story is painful rather than pleasing, but that does not detract from its power, —in fact, it rather adds to the effect. Singleton was the son of a nabob, who had married a Hindoo girl in India. Not caring for the child, he sent him. to England, where he was brought up amid the solitude and stillness of his ancestral hall. Alter a time, his health being still delicate, he was sent to a private academy in preference to a public chool. Here he made no friends, but the doctors deemed it advisable for him to remain on some time in consequence of his weak state unfitting Mtn for mingling with a more advanced and hardy set. Young Singleton posses. ed in advantage, however, that might have redeemed the obscurity of his birth, and set it nought his deficiency in physical attainments. Ills mental gifts were great, and by the exercise of these he could have triumphed, but it was far otherwise with this ill-fated youth. He was a eavourite with his instructor on account of his aptitude in learning, and great things were pre licted of him by his delighted master. He went at last to Oxford, and here his folly began. Instead of at once taking his place with the studious, and drawing wealth from deep researches into the mines of knowledge which were opened for his bene fit, he madly imagined that his forte lay among the athletic and skilled in bodily exercises. Here, of course, he was ridiculed and sneered at, but he persisted, and he found many to persuade him from malice or love of gain that he would soon succeed in distancing his competitors if he persevered. " All this was believed by Singleton—by Single ton, who might have fulfilled the Doctor's pro phecy, and have made the University ring with his name, had not unchecked passions blinded and misled him." His strength failed in the path so adverse to nature, and so contrary to reason, that Lte had fixed for himself, and after a dangerous ill ness he was sent home, disabled from returning by weakness and suffering. It would have been well if he had sunk under this college attack, for his subsequent years were a disgrace to society; and, unhappily, they caused the ruin of many others who were connected with him in after life. Especially it is sad to behold how sis evil shadow cast its glamour over the career of Brownlow, and, finally, (mused his death through cowardice and envy. This lat ter individual is the redeeming spirit of the story, generous, manly, and straightforward. Ho was the only one who ever tried to benefit Singleton, and he paid a heavy penalty for his kindness, as far as human eye could see ; although it is not those who heap blessings on the unthankful who have any cause to fear a hasty summons to another state of being. The passages of the tale which re fer to Rose Adams and her sister Janet, are bright exceptions to the gloomy recital of horrors which shroud, as with a pall, the estate of the old Nabob and his wretched heir. Lady Fotheringay is a indict one sketch, cleverly drawn, of a dashing woman of that time. The crafty Lund is also a good portraiture, and it is curious to observe how completely Singleton is in his power, notwith standing his conceit and vanity. At last, how ever, this cunning adept in stratagem and subter fuge overreached himself, as has often been the case with others of his class. The scone in which Richard Singleton sees his friend perish is truly an evil moment, and is followed by the equally ap propriate one of remorse. It was that feeling, not the blessed sorrow of repentance, which men must honour and over which angels rejoice, which swayed the last years of the wretched life here recorded. " There was no escape from his con science, for him the worm had already begun to gnaw, the flames to burn." Although it may be a sad reflection, the conclusion here met with bears the impress of reality stamped upon it, more po tently and indelibly than if it had keen said that Singleton reformed. His was not the nature to amend, nor the character to ame liorate ; he never yielded to good impulses when they visited him in his fitful fever of life, and of the close of such an existence, who could truthfully affirm " the latter end was peace." It is bettor to leave him dark to the termination of his course below, as a warning and an example to others, as an:instance of great and glorious gifts perverted, high and mighty chances lost, friends turned to enemies, blessings changed into curses — as an evidence of a career that, with a pure endea vour, might have been far above the common, and ranked among the good, but which from selfishness and passion was worse than wasted. THE REAL AUTHOR OF LATE SPANISH COUP D'ETAT. Within two or three days after the intelligence of the O'Donnell coup d'etat in Madrid reached this country we expressed our firm conviction that the real author of that display of daring despotism was Louis Napoleon, and that the iniquitous plot was hatched in Paris, not in Madrid. The defence of the coup d'itat, which soon afterwards appeared in the Moniteur, and which is no secret in France, was written by Louis Napoleon himself, came as " confirmation strong" of the correctness of the opinion we expressed. But if, notwithstanding these conclusive proofs of the part which the occu pant of the Tuileries played in the destruction of the Spanish Constitution, there was a single person who still entertained doubts on the subject, those doubts must be entirely and for ever dispelled by the fact that Louis Napoleon has just conferred on O'Donnell the Grand Cordon of the Legion of Honour. The insignia, we are told, were placed in a box covered with sky-blue velvet, ornamented with golden bees, and with the initials of Louis Napoleon. This is the reward of O'Donnell's ini quity, as the profligate agent of one of the worst men on whom the sun ever shone. Another and very different reward, it is to be hoped, is in re serve for both,—for the principal performer in the Tuileries and for his puppet in Madrid. The two are worthy of each other. " Sure such a pair," cec. It will be a sight worth living for to witness the end of this couple of matchless criminals.— Morning Advertiser. The Earl of Yarborough has completed a voyage in his yaoht from the south of England, round by the Scottish coast and back. His lordship was a pest for some days at Dochfour House, near Inverness, the seat of Mr. Baillie. Thence he sailed by the Caledonian Canal to Oban, remaining there for some days. We are glad to learn that he has been much benefited by the cruise.

A CURIIIUS ACT or PABLIAMENT.—Acnong the 118 acts of parliament abolished at one " fell swoop" by an act of last session was one passed in the reign of Henry entitled " hat sort of Irishmen may come to dwell in England." Another act was against persons calling themselves " Egyptians." The weekly reviews of the Amsterdam and Rotterdaat produce markets state that the transactions continued unimportant. There was greater firmness in coffee since the late sales of the Commercial Company, bat little speculative demand prevailed. In sugar, raw or refined, scarcely any alteration had occurred.

K~i~. •N 0... .. •.. ~ ~ ~ ENGINEERS,MASONIC,AND UNIVERSAL MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY. Yesterday (Tuesday) an extraordinary general meet ing of the members of this society was held at the society's offices, 345, Staand—Mr. W. F. Dobson, Chairman of the Board, in the chair—to confirm the fol lowing resolution, which was passed at the last general meeting : "That the plan now submitted to the meeting for raising a share capital, and enlarging the scope of the Society's operations, be hereby approved and adopted, and that the directors be authorised to make such alter ations in the deed of settlement, and otherwise to take such steps as they may be advised are necessary, or they may deem expedient, for carrying such plan into effect, and that in so doing they be empowered to make such alterations in the plan now adopted as they may deem expedient ; and to adopt the deed prepared by the directors. in pursuance of this resolution." Mr. G. H. ROBSRTSON, the secretary, having read the notice convening the meeting, The CHessates said that the reasons that had induced the directors to recommend the society being converted nto a proprietary company were so fully set forth in the paper accompanying the notice of the meeting, that it was scarcely necessary for him to occupy their time by entering at length into them. Thel interval of time that had elapsed since the question was first brought before the members of the society had arisen not ,from any neglect on the part of the directors, but solely from a desire on their part to comply with the regulations and instructions contained in the Joint Stock Company's Act. The proposal new sub mitted for the confirmation of the meeting was brought under the notice of the members before the inten tion of the Government was announced in February last to alter the then existing act. The directors had always shown the greatest desire to comply with its requisitions. They had made regular and faithful returns under that act, and as they had done nothing wrongs and had nothing to be ashamed of, they had nothing to fear from a fair and proper statement of their status and prospects. (Hear, hear.) The vise president of /the Board of Trade, in the early part of the last session of Parliament, brought in a bill relative to joint-stock companies, in which he included insurance companies, but the Legislature thought fit to exclude them, and the registrar of joint-stock companies bad in consequence declined to receive the returns hitherto made to him. The directors had been compelled to pre pare their deed in such a way as that it might readily re-' oeive his sanction, if the law-officers of the Crown advised him that his functions as to insurance comps nies were not at an end, or in itself it was a per• fact deed of settlement if his sanction be not required. In the deed now submitted to the meeting the directors had continued to the policy-holders all the privilege& and securities they enjoyed under the old deed of incorporation, and they had carefully introduced into it all those safeguards for shareholders which the Legislature had provided for joint-stock companies generally. With regard to the nature of the proposi tion, he considered the small number of members pre ' sent indicated their satisfaction,and acquiescence in it, and indeed the Beard of Directore had received a num ber of letters in which the members approved of it, a nd not one objection from any quarter. (Hear.) This was not a proposition for the creation of share capital with which to pay their debts, or for the discharge of any extraordinary preliminary expenses, those having already been paid ; nor was it required for the purpose of creat ing a company with doubtful or probable success. This society had new been many years in existence, and was firmly established. It had always been ready to discharge , and had faithfully discharged every liability and engage' ment into which it bad entered. With theincreaxed capital proposed to be raised by the terms of the new deed it was considered they might be able to extend the operations of the society, and by an increased lucrative business mu tually benefit all. That was the history of this transao• Lion, and he called 'on the solicitor of the society to read the clauses of the new deed, which had been pee pared so as to cancel the old deed. It contained all that was useful and necessary of the old deed, but at the same time repealed all the clauses in it which were inconsistent with the new proposition. After the deed had been read he should be happy to give to the mem bers any information they might require in reference to it. Mr. PRICIEIARD, Solicitor to the society, then read the various clauses of the deed, pointing out the new clauses from the re-enacted clauses of the old deed,. and said that by it the rights of the policybalderi were protected the same as in the old deed. The CSAIRICAIT, beforo submitting the necessary roc.- lotions to the meeting, said that the directors - would well consider the nature of the applications made to them is extanding their operations, and not rashly , dertake business which they could not successfully con duct, and fo prevent risk in the early stages of their new business they would adopt the system of• counter assurances, and the business of each department wooki be kept separate. In reply to Mr. HALN who thought the present a ba d time to alter their position as proposed, The CHAIRMAN said by the new deed the position of existing policy-holders would not be altered. After some further remark 4, the necessary and format resolutions for carrying out the objects of the meeting were agreed to, and a vote of thanks having been unto" rnously accorded to the chairman, the meeting %q v rated. FRIGHTFUL COLLISION, AND RUNNING DOWN Off d STEAMER IN TICE RI,FR• Shortly after seven o'clock yesterday morning a v etr y frightful steamboat collision took place in the rive"? Lower Hope Reach, two or three miles below Gravesend' by the running down of the Sydney Hall, screw•stearn er o lately employed in the transport service. She was an iron* built ship of between 500 and 600 tons burthen, the Pr ° : party of the Patent Fuel Company, and was commando' by Capt. Michel. She was bound to Cronstadt, in bsdlactr and it appears that early on Monday evening she left fluf f Pool, and proceeded down the river, but in consequence ° foggy weather she was brought up at Gravesend for the night. About an hour or so after daybreak y e sterdei morning, the steamer was again got under weigh. Tin tide was two-thirds flood. The usual course for ontwar"" bound steamers was pursued, but in consequence Of the misty state of the morning her rate was much slackeneur which was further diminished by the tide, which was ran: ning against her. Captain Michel was on the look-at platform, e' directing the navigation of his vessel, and wh' near the turn of the river called East Hope Point, a larg vessel was observed coming towards the Sydney Ott Seeing the course of the approaching steamer, whi`, proved to be the Dodo, Capt. Hanson, from Cork, bolongiec• to the Cork Steam Navigation Company, and that she ere proceeding at but little reduced speed, Capt. Michel hailed` her to put the helm a-starboard, so as to avoid conilc_Kr into collision with them. From some unexplained 6° ,c ll- cumstance or other, however, those in charge of the 1/0 ported, the result of which was that she ran into the et er. board quarter of the Sydney Hall, needy abreast of th e foremast, with tremendous force, cutting' her down W e t : than two feet below her water line. As may be iraag in great consternation prevailed amongst the twcr crews at th ;. moment. Capt. Michel got hold of the Dodo's bowsprit, believing at the instant that his own vessel was P il l down, and was so taken off. Ono of the compartments the Sydney Hall rapidly filled, and her foundering was momentarily expected. The mate, who had been these expectedly left chief in charge, with great presence of all% ordered the engines to be reversed. The vessel WO astern, and providentially just succeeded in reaching ttse bank of the north or Essex shore as she was going down , The Dodo remained some time about the spot with a vivo: of rendering assistance, and having landed Capt. Michel► she continued her voyage up the river to the Pool. Stv , has sustained some damage in her stern. The Sydney Hall lies in the same spot, and at high tide her hull is coverea. with water. She is insured. None of the crew are missing- GLOUCESTER MUSICAL 7ESTITAL. GLOUCESTEg, TUESDAY.
