THE ESSAYS and RETTEWS have been elevated to such notoriety by Archbishops, Bishops, Convo cation, and an army of clergy, that it seems hardly possible for a journalist to be silent respecting them. Like all the rest of the world, we have read them, and we have read them carefully too —how could we help doing so after they had been honoured with an Episcopal salute from the whole Bench. True, like other salutes, it was but burn ing powder; not a shot of argument was fired from any of the six-and-twenty pieces; still, the mere explosion of fifteen, ten, five, and two thousand pounders in such numbers could not fail to compel attention, and we attended. Others seem to have done the same. The publishers cannot supply editions fast enough. Mr. MUDIE has, it is said, 4,000 copies in citculatiOn; and still has to send away customers with the answer that all are out. If the authors desire a pecuniary solatium for any censures they have incurred, that they assuredly have received, and will yet receive. It would seem indeed, that if any book, newspaper, or periodical, desired to increase its circulation tenfold, it could not do better than compel the whole Episcopate to give it a broadside. Now the honeymoon is over, that happy, united pair, The Star and Dial, may thank us for the hint. Our / eaders will not expect us to enter into the theologiciai controversy, hardly even to state our impressions of this remarkable work. We may, however, observe that it is one in point of style, taste, scholarship, and, general ability every way creditable to the authors, who, with one exception, are clergymen. When seven gentlemen make up by their contributions a single volume, with the distinct avowal that each is responsible only for the part to which he puts his name, diversity of thought and of literary merits is of course to be looked for ; but we are bound to say that whether the intelligent reader concurs with any of the writers or differs from him, there is not one of the Essays which he will not read with pleasure ; and, what is more, there is not one from which, unless theology be his profession, he will not gain some valuable hints. It surely is not necessary that we khould be ever reading or hearing in theology any more than in Art, Science, Literature, tr politics, precisely our own views. So far as Religion is a matter of the understanding, it can !never be intelligently realized, except through the liarne process which clears and strengthens our *lotions and convictions on other subjects. We !must confess that these seven Essays are more cal ca lated to stimulate religious thought amongst fair -1y educated persons than seventy times seven ammo, such as we hear from the Bishops who lienonnce them, or from the great mass of gentle. *ma who believe themselves changed from simple laymen into successors of the. Apostles by the touch Mpisoopal. We intend, in saying this, no disre fsPeet to the useful labourers, who do their best for the many, and who feel it to be their duty not to tax on the first day of the week the brains of those wh 0, after six days' manual labour, or worry of the counter or counting-house, want some thing as easy as the catechism. But the thought ful, and intellietaal have their claims also; and if they are rarely indeed satisfied in a sermon, grtage the m sat i sfaction in a book. it is not fair to ir w e may be judges of what intelligent persons, w h o make no pretensions to more than ordinary require, it i s j ust such a kno wledge of theology, b oo k as this. A book , which wr i tte n throag hout in a re vere ntial, religious, and Christian spir it, yet discards .the conventionalism of the St eep l e -H ouse and tells us th e th oughts of an.d convibut iele alike, men who swear by no human authority net even by a that of the Church. It ;s but fair that we should notice, howevefithe treatment which the book has received. The fact s Pr* have meiationed show that it has been as effee.

That, however, was not the intention of the clergymen and bishops, who in various ways, and even in that ecclesiastical Hades, Convocation, have protested against it. But the fact to which we call attention that hitherto we have had scarcely anything but protest. This is what we, as Englishmen, object to. Protest, in cases like these, is dictation—and, if we mistake not, resentment to this kind of dic tation has had quite as much to do as curiosity, with the vast and still increasing popularity of the book. Protest is fair when the protester has no other resource left—as when, for instance, a weak Power like Portugal was shamelessly coerced by France in the affair of the slave-trading French ship—but between combatants each having the use of the same weapons, and on the part, too, of a great, wealthy, and learned majority, to protest against the minority is something really ludicrous. The common-sense of England says to the well endowed protesters—" Right Rev. Fathers, there is the printing-press; here are pens, and ink, and paper; plenty of pulpits, too, if you like—try your hands at argument." Indeed, a shrewd suspicion is apt to creep over the minds of lay-men that there must be some difficulty in meeting the seven by argument ; else they say, why not, instead of protesting, announce that a reply was in hand, by the Right Rev. Lord Bishop of this or that place, and a second by another and so forth, and, then, indeed, in this match of " the Seven against all the Bishops of England"—the public would wait with approval and patience the issue of the theological match. Under the circumstances, in the opinion of the vast majority of educated persons, we are certain that protesting is—solemn cowardice. Another thought occurs at once to most observant persons who have watched public matters for the last thirty years. And that is, that far worse, or equally bad, errors in doctrine and practice, have called forth no protest. Not only does such gross simony as the sale of souls at GARRAWAVS, or by private contract —not only do all the jobs in building Episcopal palaces with money which ought to relieve the wants of poor clergymen—not only does Episcopal nepotism, even to bestowing £1,300 a year on a because he fell in love with his prelate's son-in-law, daughter—not only do numberless such disgraceful doings call forth no protest—but the theological and ceremonial delinquencies of which these essays are but the reaction, never that we can remember, were met by an Episcopal protest. Nothing can be more certain than that the Oxford Tracts for the Times, and the Romanising follies of Young Oxford, which began nearly thirty years ago, was the direct cause of the counter movement which has reached its culmination in such books as the Essays and the Reviews. The great majority of English Protestants looked on this Romanising movement with perfect disgust; they doubted the honour and morality of the men who could hold livings and possess emoluments in the Protestant Church of England, and yet endea vour to defend the worst errors of the Church of Rome, and try to ape her showy ceremonials. But the Romanising movement was one which idolised bishops. They became a kind of demi-gods, their parentage being carefully traced through the Vicar of CHRIST at Rome to the times of the Apostle, a goodly padding of fiction making all soft and easy where history failed them. But not one protest, so far as we can remember, was heard from the Episcopal Bench all the while. The old ludicrous figment—lie is the better word—of apostolic succession was preached, bishop-worship was taught, the ordained of bishops were repre sented as capable of such magic wonders as baptismal regeneration and all but transubstantia tion, the English ritual was made as like that of Rome as possible, the congregations were annoyed by dresses more appropriate to a theatre than to a church—but all the time we heard of no protest ! The why and the wherefore English laymen think they quite understand ; they also tbink they quite understand why this reacting swing of the ecclesi astical pendalum is met with a protest while free play was given to the other. A very clear and fair account of the case between the protesting bishops and clergy and the seven " Essays and Reviews " is given in a tract before us. Mr. WILD appears to us completely to make good what he professes on the title-page. We recommend the pamphlet to all readers of the Essays and of the protests against them.* " Who shot the dog ?" was the question shouted in the ears of every volunteer as he walked the streets of London by every archin, till the Hyde Park Review silenced the ragamuffins for ever. " Who prigged the note ?" is the question Sir G. C. LEWIS will hear again and again till he makes a clean breast of it, or till something in the Home-office, equivalent to a Hyde Park review, consigns to obli vion petty larcenies in behalf of foreign despots. The question was last night asked and pressed in the House of Commons, which we believe we were the first to ask out of it, " Who stole the note ?" We are glad, yet sorry to say, the question was unanswered there. Glad, because it is pleasant to see English Ministers ashamed of such a dirty job; sorry, because the principal and the tool, the cor ruptor and the corrupted, in this un-English job ought to be branded with a disgrace equivalent to six months on the treadmill. This business must not rest where it is. Our Home Secretary tells us that to the best of his be lief no detective was employed to procure the note, end that no improper agent, such as Mr. BRIGHT described, was induced by corruption to give in formation. Now we take upon us to say, as men of business, that this statement must be false, though Sir G. C. LEWIS may think it true. Without roguery somewhere, neither the representatives of Austria nor Sir RICHARD MAYNE could have pro cured the note. Either, as we have already affirmed, a person must have been paid to abstract one, or a rogue in the employment of Messrs. DAY was sharp enough to think he might get a reward for the stolen article, and have taken it to the Receiver. The only possible difference of degrees of guilt on the part of the thief, is that between a man who was prompted by another to steal and a man who stole because he was a thief by nature. And the corresponding difference between the parties to accepting and using the stolen note is, that between men who would receive and use stolen articles knowing them to be stolen and the men who would promise to pay for them if stolen. Into the casuistry of these shades of guilt it is not our intention to enter. We only say that such meanness, such encouragement of men to tamper with their master's business, such employment, in fact, of pilfering spies for Foreign Governments, is not a thing which Englishmen will tolerate. In a printer's office, as much as in an attorney's, a considerable degree of honour THE' SUN, LO: and confidence is requisite. Respectable workmen all know it, may be relied on to act accordingly, and if they did not, would be hissed out of the office At • their fellow-workmen when sent about their business by the master. And, is it for our police, who should be the ministers of social morals, to be the depravers of our working men ? We insist on it that the note ought to be impounded; that the present possessor ought to be compelled to state how he got it ; and so on backward till we know where this shameful business began. No one can doubt one of two things—either money was paid for this note to some self-inspired thief, or one of Sir RICHARD MAYNE'S de tectives stole it in the execution of his commission—of h:ls duty, we cannot say. In the former case the money was paid either by the Austrian Ambassador, whom it is little likely the thief would know, or by some Englishman. Who was that Englishman? we ask, and the question will be asked till he is named. On the latter supposition, which Sir G. C. LEWIS believes not to be correct, our police are in the service of Austria, and we pay a police rate that they may steal into re spectable tradesmen's workshops, and commit theft by order of their superiors. If, as Mr. DUN COMBE observed, " our Government paid the money, then this country was paying for the spy system of Austria ; if Austria found it, then our police were in the pay of Austria." We com mend the whole debate, however, to the notice of our readers, calling their special attention to the fencing of Sir G. C. LEWIS. Not having volunteered an answer on the subject of the theft—" How did they get the note ?" asked again Mr. DUNCOMBE. To which the only reply was, " Oh, the note !" Mr. BRIGHT rose and put the case fully before him, and Mr. HENLEY supported Mr. BRIGHT, still he replied, without a word about how he came by the note. Pressed again with a pointed and not to be evaded interrogation, by the determined member for Birmingham, the reply at last was—" The notes were laid before me by Sir RICHARD MAYNE"—cries of "Oh !" and " Hear !" followed. We wonder some one did not rise and say, " The woman gave me and I did eat." And another, but—" who was the serpent in the business ?" The question, we repeat, must be an swered—" Who stole the note ?" Now that the New Zealand war has actually terminated, we can look back to it dispassionately. So long as the natives were openly in arms against our authority, so long as they appeared to set at de fiance our earnest efforts to subdue them, it was dif ficult, not unnaturally, to divest ourselves of all par ticipation in the passionate emotions excited by the mere fluctuation of events among those European and Aboriginal belligerents, a few months back confronting each other at our antipodes. Now, however, that there, far away to the South, in New Zealand, no less absolutely than half-a-dozen years ago yonder to the East in the Crimea, " the dead past" has " buried its dead"—now that, as liter rally in regard to the naked New Zealanders as in regard to the grey-coated Russians themselves, we can live and act in the " living present" of a fully, and we will even hope permanently, re-established tranquillity —it is not only possible, but advisable, to revert to a calm consideration of the real origin of this last deplorable conflict between a race of tawny savages, armed with boomerangs, and the little band of skilled and disciplined troops sent out against them by the authority of the British Government. Historical materials are already supplied to those who care to enter into this retrospective examina tion. So entirely is the war of 1860 in New Zea land an event done with and completed ! Pamph lets have been issued from the press opportunely in reference to the recent conflicts between barbarian New Zealanders and civilised Englishmen. Pamphlets, for example, like that formed by the " Inquiry," reprinted in an octavo brochure from the columns of the Colonial Intelligencer. Goodly volumes, moreover, have already made their appearance in elucidation of much that it was as yet difficult thoroughly to appreciate, in respect to these remote but still deeply interesting and, so far as it relates to the assertion of our authority in our vast colonial possessions in these antarctic regions, these vitally important occurrences. Volumes, let us say, such as that _able and comprehensive survey of the past history, and the future prospects of New Zealand—or as the writer designates it, " The Bri tain of the South," penned by CHARLES HURST HOUSE, as he significantly but unostentatiously calls himself " A New Zealand Colonist and a Visitor to the United States, the Canadies, the Cape Colony, and Australia." A travelled bookman who him• self knows (not by any means invariably the case with authors) really knows what he is writing about—learning much himself (before he attempts to teach others) upon the subject in reference to which he. has deliberately made up his mind to put forth his disquisitions—ob taining his knowledge upon that chosen theme from personal inspection and from actual expe rience ! Anyone who upon entering on the parti cular inquiry we have here alluded to, as being in every way at this moment so peculiarly desirable, may " cram" with especial advantage either from the numerous chapters of CHARLES HURSTHOUSE, or from the few but sufficient pages of the anony mous pamphleteer above particularised. From the comprehensive survey of the rise and development of New Zealand as a British colony, sketched by the pen of Mr. HURSTHOUSE, there may be readily extracted all the information—about the history and resources of that Britain of the South— that the inquirer could otherwise alone hope to accumulate for himself after a laborious research in a very chaos of scattered authorities. The Histo rical Sketch alone which forms the second chapter of the production, setting out with a reference suc cessively to the Spanish Discovery and the Dutch Discovery, and glancing afterwards at the memor able visits paid thither by Coox, and again by DE SURVILLE, recounts the whole narra tive of the New Zealand annals under British rulers, consecutively under Governor HOBSON, Governor FITZROY, Governor GREY, Gover nor WYNYARD, and Governor BROWNE. The configuration and area, the commanding posi tion, the geological peculiarities, the varied scenery and other physical characteristics of the great Antarctic Archipselego of New Zealand are then particularised. Neither the climate nor its salubrity, neither its temperature nor its fluctua tions are overlooked or examined (when turned to by this watchful colonist) superficially. The ex traordinary peculiarity of the total absence from New Zealand of any indigenous quadrupeds whatever, and of almost every reptile, saving a few lizards and a little wild rat, called the Kiore, will be found, as a matter of course, duly commented upon in the writer's incidental treatises on the denizens of the animal kingdom, the birds, fishes, and insects familiar of old to the native New Zealanders.

Coombs: 'DON, --FRIDAY` EVENING, MARCH 15, 1861. are so elaborately explained in subse quent chapters by Mr. HuasntousE that the readers of his work are soon enough introduced to every bush and shrub, to every fruit and flower, ±o the wild fern and the wild flax, to the timber trees generally, the pine red and yellow, the iron-teak and the mahogany of that land of the greenwood ! Equally complete, equally detailed and comprehensive, are the pages in which the mineral wealth of New Zealand, its resources in coal, in gold, in iron, and in copper may be found laid open to the mutiny of theoretical investiga tors. One by one the whole of the eight provinces are glanced at in succession —Auckland, Taranaki, Wellington, Hawke's Bay, Nelson, Canterbury, Otago, and Marlborough. The agricultural and pastoral pursuits, more particularly the New Zea land mode of cultivating wheat, barley, oats, maize, hops, potatoes, and tobacco—the peculiarities noticeable among the native population, espe cially the manifest and significant fact of their wholly undeniable decrease in numbers—the extent and nature of the exports—the machinery of the Government—the value of the revenue—the nature of the patronage—the scope of the civil, religious, and educational institutions out yonder in that great New Zealand Archipelago, will be found not only very lucidly explained in Mr. HURSTHOUSE'S pages, but, as there explained by him, eminently worthy of examination. Finally, as to the causes of those lamentable outbreaks which led to our war in 1860 with the insensate and self-deluded aborigines—thus writes Mr. HURSTHOUSE at the 444th page of his volume (chap. xis.)—" The disturb ances at Taranaki are attributable to a combination of four causes, namely-Ist. The KING movement.' —2d. The long-cherished determination of WIL • LIAM KING to keep for himself the whole of the Waitara district, intact.-3d. The braggart desire of the younger men to try a fall with the whites, and to make plunder.-4th. The strong, innate, wanton love of fighting, and the weazel-like appe tite for blood peculiar to the whole Maori race." The KING movement being justly regarded by him as having been unquestionably the principal cause of the disturbances. " The KING movement," he adds, in explanation to the uninitiated, "is a popular phrase used to designate an attempt on the part of certain disaffected tribes to erect in New Zealand in opposition to, or independent of, Bri tish rule, a separate native State to be governed by an elected native king. The first indications of some such a design on the part of the natives, were virtually manifested among the Cook's Straits and Taranaki tribes at the native meeting, described at page 501, in 1854. This was followed by another meeting held by the Taupo natives in 1856 ; this was followed by a great meeting of the Waikatoes in 1858, when old POTATAU (4) was proclaimed king; and at the present time, count ing secret sympathisers and open and avowed sup porters, the Land-League and KING Movement party numbers, probably, nearly two-thirds of the natives, or some 15,000 fighting men." As to the manner in which the earlier outbreaks at Taranaki grew up into a veritable war between the native population and their English rulers, that will be found fully explained in the pamphlet already referred to, as having been reprinted from the columns of the Colonial Intelligencer. THE PAY OF THE NAVY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—In the report of my speech on the Navy Estimates on Monday last the following passage occurs :-- " If my hon. friend the member for Portsmouth had looked to the details be would have seen that if the Admi ralty had not adjusted the captain's pay they would be giving him more than a Rear-Admiral. The pay of the captain of a line-of-battle ship is £7OO a-year. It is pro posed to give him in addition XI 10s. a day, or £547 com mand money, and but for the regulation made by the Admiralty the total amount would be more than the pay of an Admiral." I fear that my statement on this point was not so clear as it might have been. I intended to say that the present pay of a captain of the first class is £7Ol, and that it was proposed to give him instead £1 10s. a day, or £547 10s. a year, and command money of 12s. a day, or £219 a year, in addition ; and that if this adjustment of the pay had not been introduced the captain would receive nearly the same pay as a Rear-Admiral. This correction is important, for the statement, as it now stands, will mislead officers.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, Admiralty, March 13. C. PAGET. NEW THEATRE ROYAL, ADELPHL—Her Ma jesty, the Prince Consort, the Princesses Alice and Helena, the Marchioness of Ely, the Hon. Miss Stanley, Lord Harris, General Grey, and Colonel Hardinge visited the theatre last ovening. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge and tho Princess Mary, attenied by the Lady Geraldine Somerset and Captain Cust, hcnoured the performance of the " Amber Witch" with their presence, at Her Majesty's Theatre, last evening. The other day at dinner a large party was con demning the conduct of the Bishop of Durham in giving the living of Haughton to his sou-in-law. "They're a great deal too hard on the poor bishcp," said Lord Chelmsford, 1 " every one knows that cheese cones before dessert." LORD WILTON AND CCLONEL DICKBON.—On application by Lord Wilton to the Commander. in-Chief his Royal Highness has ordered that the inquiry from which Lieut.-Colonel Dickson withdrew in June, 1860, shall be at once re-opened. ROYAL GALLERY OF lILUSTRATION.—Mr. and Mrs. German Reed bring their present entertainment to a close on the 23d inst., and follow it up by an entirely new series on Easter Monday. In this they will again be joined by Mr. John Parry, whose rettrn to professional life has excited very great interest in metropolis. THE YELVERTON MARRIAGE CASE.—The Rev. Mr. Mooney, who played so conspicuous apart in this trial has published a long letter in the Dublin papers giving a history of his share in the Irish marriage transaction, and of his subsequent conduct—that is to say a statement of the facts as they would have been given by him on the trial had he not been subjected from the very first to " a bullying cross-examination" (to use his own words), instead "of having a fair direct examination." He also proceeds at some length to refute the charges which he says have been brought against him of being " grossly ignorant of the doctrines of his church, or Of having equivocated for fear of a criminal prosecution ; that he was tampered with or bribed by the major's party, and that he took money under false pretences." With reference to the certificate given by him, he says, " I merely gave it to satisfy a continental priest that Mrs. Yelverton was a met vied lady, which I knew to be a fact. I inserted the names of witnesses merely pro forma, because without them the foreign priest would have regarded it as a spurious document, and Mrs. Yelverton would have been thereby placed in a very unpleasant position. I now feel that in filling up the certificate in the manner and for the purpose just mentioned I acted wrongly and unwisely. It is a fault for which I since suffered, through many months, both in mind and body. Bit that I was not influenced by a cor rupt, or by any other than a benevolent and humane motive, must be quite evident to any one who reads the letter ;in which Mrs. Yelvertoa applied for that certificate. Had I in the least foreseen that it would have been used for any purpose but the one kr which I gave it, nothing could have induced me to have written it." In the Outer House of the Court of Session on Thursday, March 7, before Lord Ardmillan, the cases of " Yelverton v. Yelverton" were men- tioned. These are conjoint actions of declarator of marriage, and of putting to silence between Major and Mrs. Yelver ton, in which a proof has been going on for some time be fore the sheriff-comniissary. The Lord Ordinary appointed the pursuer to conclude her proof before the 6th April, and the defender to conclude his by the first sederunt day. THE ROAD MURDER.—The IVestern Daily Press says :—" Reports of the most extraordinary character were afloat in Bristol and Bath yesterday respecting this mys terious crime, and were the cause of considerable excite ment. One report stated that a new chain of evidence had been obtained connecting Miss Constance Kent with the crime in a positive manner; and others had it that that young lady had made some sort of confession. We have good authority for saying that both reports are utterly with out foundation. The case has assumed no new feature since the circumstances were last before the public, and at present there seems as little hope as ever of the mystery finding a solution." We ware in possession of the rumour with re gard to Miss Constance Kent, but refrained, from pruden tial motives, from giving currency to it, resting as it did on such apparently little foundation. • : , . . LATEST NEWS. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. THE BANK OF FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY MORNING. The Moniteur publishes the usual monthly return of the Bank of France, which shows the following results as compared with the February account : INCREASE, Francs. Cash in hand Treasury balance DECREASE. Bills discounted, not yet due .... 27 1-2 millions. Advances Bank-notes . Current accounts ...... .... NAPLES, MARCH 13. General Fergola, before receiving the order of Francis IL to surrender the citadel of Messina, opened fire against the works of the Sardinians, but at the same time wrote to General Cialdini to the effect that he would spare the city of Messina. General Cialdini replied, complimenting him for having come to this determination, and saying that he desired to carry on war without passion and to terminate it without rancour. Civitella del Tronto still holds out; but, being closely invested, must soon surrender. The assertions of the Marquis of Normanby in the House of Lords that the Sardinians had been guilty of cruelties are totally unfounded. In the Abruzzi the Sardinians only shot some persons who had previously been convicted of felony, and who had been arrested with arms in their hands. POLAND. WARSAW, FRIDAY. The deputation of the citizens of Warsaw to which Prince Gortschakoff communicated the re script of the Emperor was astounded at the tone of the document. Prince Gortschakoff privately stated that an Im perial manifesto may be shortly expected, granting reforms. M. Zamoyski, President of the Deputation, said, " We accept, but we are far from being satisfied." The Imperial rescript has not caused any abate ment of the prevailing excitement. Eleven political prisoners have been set at liberty. The Silesian Gazette publishes the following as the telegraphic messages exchanged between the Emperor and Prince Gortschakoff on the 27th of February : " Warsaw—lnsurrection." " St. Petersburg—Suppress it." " Warsaw—lt has been done." " St. Petersburg--:How many killed ?" " Warsaw—Six of the people, and six wounded." " St. Petersburg—And of ours ?" " Warsaw—No killed or wounded." " St. Petersburg—What arms taken ?" " Warsaw—None." " St. Petersburg—The whole affair is incompre hensible to me." THE CALCUTTA, CHINA, AND AUSTRA- LIAN MAILS.

TEE AMERICAN PRESIDENT. President Lincoln and Vice-President Hamlin dined with Mr. Spaulding, the representative from the Buffalo District of New York State, on the 28th ult., in company with General Scott, Gover nors Seward and Chase, and several other distin guished persons. In the evening Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln held a levee at Willard's, and received a very large number of ladies and gentlemen, includ ing senators and representatives, army and navy officers, and members of the diplomatic corps. At half-past 10 o'clock an immense throng was gathered in front of the hotel, the Marine band playing ': Hail to the Chief." Three cheers were called for Abraham Lincoln, and given with a hearty will and repeated. After many calls for Mr. Lincoln he appeared, when three more enthusiastic cheers were given for him. Mr. Lincoln bowed several times to the multitude, and when silence was restored he spoke as follows : "My Friends,—l suppose that I may take this as a compliment paid to me, and as such please accept my thanks for it. I have reached this city of Washinghton under circumstances considerably differing from those under which any other man has reached it. I have reached it for the purpose of taking an official position among the people, almost all of whom were opposed to me and I are yet opposed to me, as I suppose. (Several voices, No !no !' Other voices, Go on, Sir ; you are mistaken in that, indeed you are.') I propose no lengthy address to you now. I only propose to say, as I did say yesterday, I believe, when your worthy Mayor and Board of Aldermen called upon me, that I thought much of the ill feeling that has existed between you and the people of your surroundings and that people from among whom I come has depended, and now depends, upon a misunderstanding. (Several voices.—' fhat's so,' and applause.) I hope that if things shall go along as prosperously as I believe we all desire they may, I may have it in my power to remove something of this misunderstanding— (cires of Good,' and loud applause)—that I may be enabled to convince you and the people of your section of the country that we regard you as in all things being our equals, in all things entitled to the same respect and to the same treatment that we claim for ourselves—(cries of ' Good,' and loud applause)—that we are in no wise disposed, if it were in our power, to oppress you or deprive you of any of your rights under the constitution of the United States, or even narrowly to split hairs with you in regard to those rights—(loud and pro longed cheering) ; but are determined to give you, as far as lies in our hands, all your rights under the constitution, not grudgingly, but fully and fairly. (Cries of ' Good,' and applause.) I hope that by thus dealing with you we shall become better acquainted and be better friends. (Cries of Good,' and applause.) And now, my friends, with these very few remarks, I again return my thanks for this compliment, and bid you good night." THE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE STRAND AND THE NEW COURIAF LAW.—The preliminary arrangements for the extensive improvements, which are to be effected in the Strand and its vicinity, and the acquisition of the site for tb e new courts of justice are nearly completed ; this extends from Clement's Inn, along the south side of Carey-street as far as Bell-yard, and in depth from Carey-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, to the Strand, which will give the building a south frontage from Temble Bar to St. Clement's Church. The number of houses which will have to be pulled down in the Strand, Bell-yard, Serle's - place, Ship-yard, New and Old Boswell-courts, Newcastle court, Clement's-lane, and Carey-street, exceed 220, and the estimated coat of purchase is £750,000; in addition nearly an equal number of houses will be required for the approaches, which will include the widening of the Strand between St. Mary's and St. Clement's Churches. By the removal of these narrow and inconvenient thoroughfares, Holywell-street and Wych-street, and a new street extend ing from Catherine street, Strand, will be constructed across Clare-market into Carey- street, which will be widened by the removal of houses on the north sidel The total amount required for the undertaking will exceed A 1,600,000. DULWICH COLLEGE.—At a meeting of the gover nors of this college, held on Tuesday last, the Duke of Wellington in the chair, Mr. Henry S.

This is a superior novel, and one that is sure to interest all who like a reflective book, one that seems to lead away from the everyday common and beaten track, and to bring before us the hidden motives of men's actions, and the secret spring of their doings. There are a number of people in troduced to us in these pages. The story is told by one who led a desolate life ; whose childhood knew no mirth ; whoseyouth was beset with trials, and whose manhood was doomed to disappointment. At last wealth came to him; but too late; he had seen the blossom of his hopes withered, and the summer of his life's happiness had sunk into the winter that is followed by no spring on earth. There is something very touching about Lucy. We meet her amid sunshine and flowers, in her native element. It is sad to follow further and note the cruel change that supervened, when she was unfor tunate enough to marry the cold and harsh George Fenton. The latter is a finished sketch of man who immersed in business cares for nothing else, and disregards all the finer feelings of our nature, and scorns and condemns all the high and heaven ward tendencies, all that would tend to undervalue his cherished stores. Frederick Favoursham had to face the world alone, and the account here given of his various adventures and manifold attempts is most entertaining. His companions are also well worthy ofnotice ; the gay and giddy Harry and the wild impulsive Lavance. The latter is a very ro mantic individual, and we cannot fail to feel an in terest in him, notwithstanding his reckless bear ing and extravagant conduct. Even in his wild devotion to the cause of the Empire there was a heroism that redeemed its inconsistency and shed a halo over its danger. He said truly that there was a deal of imagination wanted for true hero worship. In speaking to his young friend, Frederic, he would often disclose the hidden and mysterious motives that ruled his incomprehensible life, and tell of the dreams that lit up that life with lustre and infused spirit and splendour through the length of its dreary days. " When the history of our party comes to be writ ten, he said its great strength and vitality will be found in the fact that it had less to do with prat • tical principles that concern men's homes and holdings than with the high and hazy side of our nature which we call the imaginative, the limitless and indestructible realm of genius and of dreamers, the sky of life in which its rainb ow r i se and its lanets go down. What is it that gives the ruins of our empire such life and force, in spite of the last battle, the Congress of Vienna, and the grave that lies so far amid the waves of the Atlan tic. There is nothing to bind us together but a name and a memory. That party has a story which takes hold on the memories and imagina tions of men, because it owes its origin to genius and not to fortune, and sets forth the eternal title of mind to rule and reign. So the most established thrones are troubled with the silent dread of it as a power that is to be. Russia has dreams of it in her long wintry nights. It makes Austria shake in the old shoes with which she tramples Italy." The end of this strange man's career was very me lancholy, though, in the abstract, he died in a good cause—seeking to redress the wrongs of a maiden he had known in her bright days, and who had been kind to him. The first sight of Lucy after marriage was very painful for her early lover. The clever and scheming George had failed and had to recommence life as employed and not employer, hence all things wore a changed and faded aspect for Lucy. Instead of her bright early home of Rosebank, she was dwelling in a gloomy villa; and for her airy muslins she had a dingy dress of Preston stuff. A sadder change was in herself. The fountain of sight was losing life and power, and fast hurrying down on her the night that knows no morning." Her death was very sad, and most painful to dwell upon ; but, considering the circumstances of the case, much may be found to mitigate and palliate her last action, for she was broken-hearted, and knew and felt that no hope was hers on this side of the grave. It was the mental not the bodily darkness that overwhelmed her. " Her days were threat ened by a calamity the most terrible in the list of human ills ; yet this was not the overbalancing weight; Lucy could have borne and lived through it as well as the rest of the luckless thousands picked out for the night duty in this inglorious campaign of ours. It was the failure of her trust in him who had been the chosen of her youth, the emptiness of the treasury in which she thought so much goods had been laid by for many years that broke the woman's heart. How wonderfully like my mother she looked when I saw her for the last time. Does the soul leave its truest impress on the countenance when parting, and thus make manifest resemblances never seen till then ? Were it so, or not, life has nothing like the last look of those dead faces we are giving to the clay. Oh ! that we could read the resurrection in them • but they are sealed with the everlasting secret of the grave, and with its safety too ; theirs is a composure not to be shaken by our storms and troubles. Time or tears will never wither the beauty we laid in the Derby churchyard, where Lucy sleeps with her own people." Thus, on the eve of becoming pos sessed of enormous wealth, did Frederic Favour sham follow to the grave the early object of his youth's love, who had been his dream since he first entered on the life of men. It was not to be won dered at that from that day a shade of the dark and silent night in which Lucy slept should ever more haunt his steps and darken his retrospect of existence. It was only when remembering her pure and pious nature, he could look beyond to the bright morning which might see their reunion in the spirit-land, that any hopes of happiness could be his. The descriptions of the Dimsdales is very admi rably done they are of a class that is essentially of the earth—earthy in all their doings. It is thus 'said of them, " The Dimsdales wanted for no ma terial of elevation, they had wealth to spend and spare, free access to the best exhibitions and enter ments, a rare [collection of artistic objects, includ ing some fine pictures, a private library which few noble houses could equal, new books always coming in, not to speak of the thousand currents of intelli gence which meet and circulate round the newspaper press, yet their minds never rose above the shop keeping level. In religion or politics, art, and literature, whatever paid best was the best to them. Tliey had no words, no ways, no notions of their own, all was said chalked out and set down for them by the world they lived in." Frederic was some time in the uncongenial atmosphere of this house, and he had leisure to reflect on the insufficiency of all that the world can offer if the mind cannot appreciate the glories of intellectual elevation or the soul respond to the beautiful in art and nature. Some other characters are finely sketched, Miss Clarkson serves to illustrate a thorough woman of the world, cold, sharp, and shrewd in all ber dealings, and while she made a pretence of fine feeling, she was always ready to desert her dearest friends in the hour of peril. Some of the set or clique who surrounded the Dimsdales are more or less enter. taining in their brief sketches. This novel can be re commended to all who wish to peruse a solid work, one that does `not at all appertain to the brilliant but ephemeral class, that is read one hour and for gotten in the next, but one that dwells in the mind and lingers in the memory. It b r i ngs b e f ore us ! men in all the varying positions of life, lingering in poverty, rolling in wealth, immersed in business, speculating in commerce, indulging in day-dreams, and giving w a y t o idl eness and rest less habits. In the same way we meet with vari ous women. The gentle Lucy, whose bright morning saw so sad a termination, the speculating Miss Clarkson, the coarse but clever Mrs. Campbell, the mild and goodhearted but weak and vain Milly, the frivolous Mrs. Hartley, and the miserly aunt Grizzle. This is more truly a page of the world's history than many another autobiography, as it does not confine itself to the joys and sorrows of any particular individual, but goes on to tell of his friends and acquaintances in their wide-spread ramifications and innumerable connect ing links. This is a true epitome of life, where one sows that another may reap, and the hopes of one are fulfilled to the bitter misery of another. Fre. deric Favoursham never shunned the world of his fellow men, but mingled among those with whom his lot was cast. Hence the record of his eventful career cannot prove aught else but entertain ing, natural transcript of life in its day of mingled light and shade where no joy is too bright not to be overcast, and no sorrow too great to be irremediable, if looked on with the eye of a Christian. " My Share of the World" is therefore replete with varied and vivacious reading, with vigorous sketches, of life-like delineations, eloquent passages, and interesting events. As such, it is most probable tint it will obtain a great success, being fat above the average merit of novels. The Island of the Saints : a Pilgrimage through Ireland. By Julius Rodenberg, author of "An Autumn in Wales." Chapman and Hall. This is a very entertaining little work, and it is particularly interesting, inasmuch as it brings before us the opinions of a foreigner regarding Ireland. It is observed in the preface that " the majority of works about the land of the saints have had the defect of being written - by Eoglishmen ; and it is as fair to accept their vezdiet as it would le to judge of Italy from an Austrian point of view, "It may not be generally knowri that the appellation of the land, of the gaioto Iyas given to Ireland in C9.11e V e1499 " - y establishment of Vlari4 , 1,4 tianity in that country. This work !is well written throughout, and conveys a very clear idea of the country, which was traversed by the traveller. It is always desirable to peruse the early impres sions of an intelligent mind possessed of a great people, and hence this book will possess attractions to many, when the actual information afforded by these pages, either from personal observation or from previous acquaintance with works of travel concerning it. This volume is a translation, but it has been admirably executed, and at times one could fancy it was quite original from its freshness and force of expression. There is a great variety in the accounts we meet with. A wedding and a funeral, with all kinds of wild schemes of fun and frolic, and with some of those fierce expressions of rage and anger in which that impulsive nation so loves to indulge. This vacillation of temperament is thus described—" I could see from the wild sound of complaint and woe that they were not feigned but really came from the heart; and again, I was forced to admire the nature of this people, who can pass at a bound from the loudest delight to the deepest consciousness of painful desolation, and to whom fate gave in addition to the unspeakable wretchedness it reserved for them the most en viable levity, which in an hour forgets all that has happened, and all that may happen." It must be mentioned that the author is prejudiced on the side of the Irish quite as much as other writers have doubtless been against them. For example, in describing his departure from Killar ney where he saw two weeping maidens departing from thence to America, he exclaims " The Irish have become the strangers and slaves in their own country, The English govern the land, and the Irish serve in it, some still gnashing their teeth, others having grown dull long ago, but the ma jority of them still feel the yoke, although they know, and we know only too well, that their kingdom is destroyed and can never be established again." When we remember some of the dis graceful scenes and occurrences in Ireland when men were shot down in broad daylight among a crowd of witnesses, and yet no after efforts of the friends of the deceased can bring the guilty to punishment, because the unhappy victim has offen ded some of the prejudices, or broken some of the laws of that most tyrannical of all classes the rabble, when this is recalled it may safely be affirmed that oppression and injustice are not con fined to one class in the country. There is a good deal of lively detail mixed up with these remini scences. The meeting with Mr. Maerie is most amusing, and the serio-comic dilemmas into which that worthy man was constantly plunged are most ludicrous. In the final trip the traveller again met with this quaint individual; ho was then in the full horror of riding a leaping donkey, which at last threw him off. His consternation was great and he exclaimed, " I did not wish to ride, but it was of no use; I could not get rid of that one-armed scoundrel, I must mount his donkey. A man is not safe of his life in this miserable glen, cannons are fired, I am led past fathomless abysses, I am forced to climb up pre cipitous walls, and last of all, I am mounted on a donkey. May heaven punish me if I ever get on one again." Those who would meet with a desirable account of the country and its inhabitants, in which intelligent remarks blend with striking descriptions, cannot do better than possess themselves of this little work. It does not aim at anything remarkable, but it successfully carries out its intentions of affording us a glimpse of the " Land of the Saints," which is done entirely con amore, in a spirit which would even have satisfied the poet who sang of the "loved island of sorrow," in such touching strains. A glowing enthusiasm for the country seems to pervade the mind of the author, and thus he seems native to the soil and kindred to the people as he dwells on their troubles, and dilates on their sufferings. Whatever is written with feel ing must impress, and the sentiments here ex pressed are evidently genuine, and bear the stamp of reality. Over the Straits ; a Visit to Victoria. By Louisa Anne Meredith, author of " My Home in Tas mania," &c. Chapman and Hall. This is an animated sketch of a visit to Vic toria, - written with spirit and vivacity, and while it is only of a simple style, it yet here and there contains graver subjects of reflection, and points a moral occasionally. For instance, in the fol lowing remarks on eruelty to animals, when the authoress observes—" To me the most mysterious part of the Almighty's scheme—so far as it be comes manifest in our daily lives, is the absence of some imperative prevention of cruelty to His dumb creatures ; and it is my fixed belief, that they are thus left at our mercy to give us the power of doing wrong or right—comparatively independent of human intervention and control In this life," but amenable to how severe a tri bunal in that which is to come ; and again, " Cruelty to animals is a subject that nineteenths —nay, nine hundred and ninety-nine thou sandths of the general population do not seem to comprehend. Many persons, very pious,' kindhearted' people, too, in the world's estima tion of things on the surface, men who subscribe to all manner of charities (with their names in print), and women who are affected even to floods of tears by the fictitious woes of a popular novel, can pla cidly gaze upon palpable severe animal suffering without any sensation whatever. The clay their frames are fashioned of must, one would think, have been too hardly baked to receive impressions from without, and the undisguised astonishment with which they hear any remonstrance or intercession for the wretched victims, evidences the shock which so novel an idea creates." It is always peculiarly satisfactory to meet with such sentiments expressed in a form where they can be widely disseminated, and considered upon by many readers. In nothing does the innate depravity of human nature become more painfully manifested than in cruelty to any thing living, be it of the human race or only of the inferior class of animals; the real Christian can never profane the religion he professes as to torture the creatures formed by his Maker, without whose will no sparrow falls to the ground unseen, and who has taught us that all our doings without charity are nothing worth. How beautifully has the poet ex pressed this feeling in these lines— " He prayeth best who loveth best All things, both great and small. For the great God who loveth us, He made and loveth all." There are many traits of character described in these pages that are most amusing and interesting to peruse, and a very fair idea of the country is presented to the stranger, so that on the whole there is reason for the authoress to indulge in the hope expressed at the conclusion that " the perusal of these small adventures may have afforded to all who have thus accompanied us in our excursion over the Straits some reflection at least of the plea sure we derived from it, and here we bid them for the present a kind farewell." Familiar Illustrations of Scottish Character. By the Rev. Charles Rogers, LL.D. Houston and Wright. This volume presents us with a large collection of miscellaneous anecdotes, illustrative of Scottish character, and more especially of the native wit and humour which is often a strongly marked feature of the northern idiosyncrasy. The author tells us in his preface, that he has entertained the idea of publishing a volume of this kind for many years, and lately he has made it his practice to note down such anecdotes as he deemed worth preser vation. He has besides searched every accessible work which was calculated to increase his stores, and has received large contributions from friends and correspondents. He has in this undertaking set two objects before him. Firstly, to pourtray the native character and sentiments during the last century, and secondly, " by presenting a budget of healthful anecdotes, to supersede many current stories of an exceptional character, and to show that abundance of wit may be procured without having recourse to hum our t i nctured with pro fanity." In both these attempts he has achieved a very creditable degree of success, although some of the anecdotes given are scarcely worth insertion. One drawback to the enjoyment of the reader is found in the continued use of initials and dashes, which have a most unsatisfactory effect. In cases where courtesy or discretion rendered the omission of the name advisable, it would have been better to have dispensed with it altogether, and saved the perpetual iteration of " The Rev. Mr. S•--, of E.--. " Professor 11.--." Principal L.--." " Mr. M.---," &c. The author has divided his collection under various heads, such as " The Ecclesiastical," " The Collegiate," " The Muni cipal," "Puns and Repartee," &c. Some of the most curious instances of popular credulity are given in the chapter on Modern Superstitions. As is often the case, some of the sharpest retorts are met with among the peasantry and simple folk. We quote a few of these anecdotes as fair speci mens of the collection. THE MINISTER'S WIFE, "The following anecdote hes been associated with the name of more than one clergyman's helpmate. The mini ster had been entertaining at dinner a clerical friend from some distance. The evening was unpropitious, and the friend was invited by the minister to remain durinc , night, and had accepted the invitation. They wa lk e d togetherb for some time in the manse garden. At dusk the minister asked his visitor to step into the manse while he would give directions to his man servant in regard to his friend's conveyance being got ready in the morn ing. As the stranger entered the manse, the minister's wife mistook him for her husband in the twilight; she raised the pulpit Bible, which chanced to be on the lobby table, and bringing the full weight of it across the stranger's shoulders, exclaimed emphatiatily, ' Take that for asking 9 Olscoverinv that ugly wretch to st: itOri : y su e blunder is not related but the vie all night 1' How the lady. l ooke d Ott .pil or
