THE SUN. LONDON, THURSDAY, JULY 25, 1881. SYDNEY SMITH'S grotesque saying about the round men being popped into the square holes, and the square men into the round holes, is at this moment being more flagrantly illustrated than ever through the medium of those eccentric chopping and changes inLord PALMERSTON'S Government. Hands across— chassee—balancez—down the middle and up again ; it is the veriest maze of a country dance that we are just now witnessing among the elderly gentle men making up the bulk of the Coalition. It bears a striking resemblance either to this—or to that dexterous display, apparently, of cross purposes constituting the fun and frolic of the merriest dance of all, that of Sir ROGER DE COTERLEY. Yet the worst of it is that the fun and frolic of these same fantastic and sudden movements, the mem bers of the Cabinet keep almost entirely to themselves. Scarcely one outsider is admitted to any direct participation whatever in the somewhat dubious gratification derivable in any way from this Ministerial divertissement. Literally there is not " one" outsider permitted to enter the inner circle of the Government, that sanctum sanetorum of official life, the mysterious region in which the Cabinet assembles together. Trocul 0 procul este profani ! Even the one conspicuous personage added to the thinned ranks of the Administration—though him self a man of shining parts, and one, moreover, who carries with him a historic name to whatever de partment he might chance to be nominated—even he is peremptorily denied admission within those consecrated precincts sacred to the hallowing foot steps of your Cabinet Minister. A simple matter-of-fact enumeration of the Ministerial changes adventured upon by Lord PAL MERSTON, will serve to illustrate more pointedly almost than any syllable of comment the narrow spirit in which our veteran Premier has undertaken to conduct the now apparently forlow hope of re juvenating his grand do.nothing, laissez-aller, laissez faire Administration. Everything in the way of change among our administrators at the present moment is said to be attributable directly and exclusively to the forced retirement of Lord HERBERT of LEA (by reason wholly and solely of his regretted indisposition), from the conduct of the War Department. Long delayed, in the illusive expectation that temporary repose or change of air and scene might renovate the shaken constitution of the War Secretary, the withdrawal of that eminent and popular statesman altogether from the the responsi bilities of power at l eng th became, even estimation of his reluctant colleagues, imperative and unavoidable. Consequent upon the resigna. tion of Lord HERBERT, came Lord JOHN'S claim at length of his Earldom. And so soon as that noble lord, by intimating his willingness to be removed from the House of Commons to the House of Lords, had thus proposed to carry with him into the latter House the Secretaryship of State for Foreign Affairs— it became incumbent upon Lord WODEHOUSE to resign his under-secretaryship for the same department. Whereupon, as a matter of course, Lord WODEHOUSE resigned accordingly. It yet remains to be seen who will be nominated the noble lord's successor in that under-secretary ship in the Commons House of Parliament. Other wise than in this instance, and the instance of the Under-Secretaryship for War, the Ministerial vacancies have been filled up in the manner we are now about to indicate. First of all, however, let it be borne in mind for a moment that—notwithstanding Lord HERBERT'S resignation of the War Department—there will yet remain in the House of Lords two of the five prin cipal Secretaries of State. This—by reason of Lord JOHN'S elevation to the peerage as Earl RUSSELL. There will b e that new peer as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. There is already there in the Upper House, the Duke of NEWCASTLE as Colonial Secretary. And, besides this, there is the monopoly by the Peers of the chief of the Naval Department in the ,person o f anotherraof the Admiralty.

And to a member of the House of Commons it has been given in conse quence. But—to an outsider ? No. And it is here that begins that fantastic change of places which will conduce, we may rest satisfied, to do anything but strengthen the already ricketty fabric of the Administration. Sir CORNEWALL LEWIS—who is appparently presumed to possess an Universal Genius—quits the Home Office to become Lord HERBERT'S successor as War Secretary. Already Sir GEORGE has shown himself to be but an indifferent Chancellor of the Exchequer. He has since then acquitted himself but questionably of the heavy responsibilities de volving upon him in his more recent capacity as Home Secretary. He now goes to the War Office without the possession apparently of any one visi ble qualification suitable for the conduct of that department ; an it will be with no small solicitude that the country will now observe, in his little regard, how little of a CARNOT may be made out of an ex-editor of the Edinburgh. To the vacated Home Secretaryship, as Sir G. C. LEWIS'S successor will be restored the very Administrator who had been compelled to forego, upon the plea of ill-health, the toil and anxiety inseparable from the discharge of the duties of that department—to wit, Sir GEORGE GREY, until now, repairing his jaded energies in that com fortable Ministerial sinecure, the Chancellorship of the Duchy of Lancashire. To that vacated haven of rest in the Cabinet, is removed, the Secretary for Ireland Mr. CARDWELL. But the successor of Mr. CARDWELL in the Irish Secretaryship, is not to be admitted, as Mr. CARD WELL has been admitted in that capacity, to a seat at the Cabinet Council Board. Sir ROBERT PEEL being the new Secretary for Ireland, and not as was at fist anticipated, Mr. CHICHESTER FOR TESCUE. It is auspicious for Sir ROBERT PEEL , that his official career begins as his illustrious father's began before him—that is, as Irish Secretary. But—unlike his father—the present Sir ROBERT has a fair chance of winning popularity among the ranks of all Liberal Irishmen, and of obtaining for himself a soubriquet less invidious than that of "Orange PEEL" upon the other side of Saint George's Channel. There will still remain to be filled up two vacated Under-secretaryships the Under secretaryship for War in the Lords and the Un der-secretaryship for Foreign Affairs in the Commons. To the latter may we not hope that either Mr. LAYARD or Mr. BINGLAKE may be promoted ? As for the former, the choice there we believe to be still matter of bewilderment to Lord PAL3IERSTON. The Etna has brought two or three rather im portant items of news from America. General M'CLELLAN'S division, of whose operations we have been daily waiting to hear, has attacked the rebels successfully. Probably this time the re ported rout was a real one, as the guns, camp equippage, and waggons were all captured. The less of life is said to have been twenty on the side of the victors, and sixty on the side of the van quished. The defeated troops will no doubt join those of General JOHNSTON, whom General PAT TERSON defeated at Martinsburg, and who were strong enough to prevent a further onward move of PATTERSON till he had obtained reinforcements. We presume AP CLELLAN will now move eastward and northward to place JOHNSTON between himself and PATTERSON, and thus compel him to fall back towards Richmond. In Missouri, where the last accounts had left a large Secession force victors over a smaller Union one, the balance of skirmishing is again in favour of the Federalists. The rebels are mustering con siderable strength in that quarter, and the Fede ralists doing all they can to prevent a combination of the enemy's forces. A Col. SMITH seems to have been even surrounded by the latter, but had, it is said, routed the rebels who had surrounded him. The Federalist Generals appear not to confine their attacks to armed enemies, By order of General LYON, his soldiers have put down forcibly a Seces sion journal in St. Louis—they seized the type, we are informed, and prohibited the publication of the paper ! What can brother journalists say to soldiers who fight against paper enemies ? We suppose we must take it as a compliment, a confession that if the sword does not master the pep, the pen would master the sword. Another remarkable fact is that a privateer, bearing the name of the Southern President—the Jeff. Davis, has made many captures—five vessels, it is mentioned, that she has sent to Southern ports ; one of them a brig, the John Walsh, bound from Cuba to England. Such details wear the appear ance of authentic news—it is added, moreover, that six cutters have sailed in pursuit of the pri vateer ? But we in England have certainly a ques tion or two to ask. if the blockade be an effectual one, how did the privateer leave any Southern port ? And, again, worse than this—since one sly skipper giving the blockading squadron the slip is conceivable—how did she manage to send five vessels for condemnation to Southern ports ? We confess this is to us a mystery ; that is, on the sup position that the rebel ports are really blockaded from Baltimore to Houston, or the southern limits of Texas ? Into what ports were the prizes taken ? If some of them were small coast ing craft which could be beached or sent up a creek almost anywhere, a brig of the tonnage fo r a vo y age t o E ng l an d cou ld h ar dly be so dealt w i t h . Th e crew o f another b r i g is m en ti oned as vessel from N e tured off Cape Hatteras, before If it a.vtteerreaso, before mentioned, thi s we ld having been brought home by a wport—th e i r s hi p h av i ng b een cap tured North Carolina, by a the same as the one u seem to show a pretty ac tive privateering by the Southerners on the ! Atlantic coast. We shall now see whether the North itself is not compelled to treat the Southern a s belonging to a privateers belli ge rent. They privateer's crewhands have ow in their already. Will they venture to hang them,.as an example to traitors or freebooters ? Will they venture t o hang the ceew of the • Jeff Davis, if they catch her .. We cannot doubt they will simply detain them as prisoners of war. A letter to a contemporary thus expresses the thoughts of many Americans on the near future— " The national army will soon advance to Richmond, Virginia, and the enemy must either retire or fight. A great victory on either side will have im portant consequences to four millions of our poor unfortunate people in bondage, which you will not notice discussed in the newspapars, but it is never theless occupying the thoughts of statesmen and reflecting people generally. A great victory by the North may exasperate the South to free and arm the negroes, in hopes of getting rid of the Northern army, and trusting to circumstances to enslave the negroes again when peace returns, in which they will be very much mistaken. A great victory gained by the South may and will exaspe rate the North, then aroused to a terrible energy, to declare freedom to the slave wherever the Northern army goes. Gud Almighty is working the slave's release out of this contest. Not till death stalked in every Egyptian family and the first-born were slain did the Egyptians of old let the oppressed go Free." The wonder to us is that the North does not use the threat of emancipation as the means of a great victory. Congress might most righteously declare that those who had broken the Constitution were no longer entitled to the toleration it gave to an institution naturally inconsistent with and hostile to it, and that, therefore, in all the seceding States the slaves were to be henceforth free. The Border States could be left then to do as they pleased, or, if they behaved well, their slaves might be re deemed by the Union. Exeunt—two Church Bills—to be heard of, we hope, no more. One Mr. ALCOCK'S Commutation Bill, the other Mr. CROSS'S Amendment Bill, both equally good—that is good-for-nothing. The owners of property will certainly never accept Mr. ALCOCK'S Bill; the country at large will as cer tainly reject that of Mr. CROSS. Sir MORTON PETO stated two facts which will insure its not becoming law. It will increase largely the area of Church-rate taxation. Two thousand new churches, :the worshippers in which now meet their expenses in the only way honourable men can do, would be authorised by the bill to levy a rate in the districts assigned to them, and all the objectors would be put to the annual trouble of sending notice that they did not wish to be rated. And this nuisance in exchange for the simple and natural plan of the worshippers putting their half-crown or their half-sovereign into the plate once a quarter. Taking into account the large towns, and all the places where Church-rates have been abolished, Mr. PETO says that 9,000,000 of the population now exempt would be brought under liability of the rate. Even Mr. NEWDEGATE declared that the Voluntary principle was the only one which could be adopted in the towns. We do not often hear from the hon. member such good sense on Eccle siastical subjects as is contained in the following remarks—" The bill of his hon. friend (Mr. Cnoss) was based on exclusion, and would operate to the destruction of the Church of England if passed into law. Taking the case of such a town as Birming ham, if the bill became law, and if there was an attempt to enforce its provisions, it would do more to break up the growing good feeling which existed than any measure he could conceive ; and it would have this effect, that it would register the majority of the population of that town, including Dissenters, Nonconformists, those who had any per sonal difference with the clergy, those who merely objected to pay, and the poor, in a category which would be available for those who desired the sub version of the Church. They would literally have formed in every parish of England a register for the use of those who desired to agitate against the Church, and that register would be formed at the expense of the Church itself. He would recom mend the friends of the Church of England to take that warning." Sir G. C. LEWIS was, no doubt, desirous to get rid of useless discussion, and to get on with real business, but we suppose we ought to thank him for his compliment to the FOurth Estate—he told the eager speakers that they were really now en croaching on the legitimate province of the Daily Press, for this was a subject which could be dis cussed by the newspapers during the whole of the recess, in a better and abler manner than could be done in desultory speeches in that House. The House, in its usual style, indicated its assent to this view of our functions. We ven ture to think, however, that the Press has already pretty well done its part. It has be come now a question, not of argument, but of party. The fault of this must lie at the door of Mr. DIS RAELI and the Tories. He most unwisely pro claimed it—Retention of Church Rates—as the watchword of his party, and they have been so ill-advised as to follow him in it. After having had to yield in succession on many questions of political, religious, and commercial liberty, it does seem to us something almost like infatuation for the great Conservative party to hoist the banner of church-rates, abolished already as they have been by so many majorities, and sure to be abolished sooner or later with the full consent of Kings, Lords, and Commons. It might be very chivalrous—and a kind of Balaklava charge was indeed made this session they rode up to the very guns of Sir JOHN TRELAWNY'S majority, but how they will retreat from their position we know not. It is quite certain they cannot stay where they are, it is equally certain that they can propose no measure in which their own party will agree. Honest Mr. HENLEY pithily remarked, " His hon. friend (Mr. Calms) recommended that all persons during the recess should carefully consider the subject, and put their views in writing, and then they would be able to see how they differed. He agreed with his hot. friend that they would see how they differed, and he thought that the speech of the hon. baronet )13- posite did not look very favourable as regarded a compromise." The fact is, it is come to this that no alternative is now left but for Churchm✓n to put their hands in their pockets as freely a 3 Dis senters do, and to abolish Church-rates for ever. ELLISON'S SECESSION AND SL-IVEI?1 IN AMERICA.* We give a prominent place to a brief notice of Mr. Ellison's book, because it is just what every reader of the newspapers needs to have at his elbow at the present moment. Quito apart from the opinions expressed in it on Slavery, Emancipation, and the War, in most, though not quite all, of which we entirely concur, the book has an independent value as a vade mecum on American affairs just now. It gives a brief but clear account of the in troduction of Slavery into America, and its work ings till the present contest; it furnishes exact in formation on the successive ccmpromises enforced by the slaveholders, and broken as soon as they seemed to press inconveniently on the South. The battle of parties, their successes and defeats, their " platforms " and proceedLngs are described, and the documents of any importance given in full. A carefully complied history of the details of the secession movement follows ; then a good account of the influence of slavery in regard to the p rogress of the country, agr i cu l tura ll y , com mercially,industrially, educationally, and reli giously. A. discu ssion on emanc i pa ti on f o ll ow s this ; it is right in spin,' e ' r , e bu t t w pa e r s t h t o o ul t d ha a t ss w ig h n io t h he ou N r o o r u th th er o n r army a very die u would; we think it might take emancipation in its train, at the sam e ti me , negro andt the horrors of ser v il e war . insurrections, An appendix gives in full all the long Ameri can documents which it is so troublesome to hunt for in books and old newspapers. We are sure our readers will find the volume a most acceptable one in reference to all the facts bearing on the great American Question. * Sampson, Low, and Son, Ludgate-hill.

AMERICA. NEW YORK, JULY 12, EVENING. (PER ETNA via QUEENSTOWN.) The House of Representatives had passed a bill authorising the appropriation of 500,000 men and 500,000,000 dols. for the war. In the Senate Mr. Saulsbury, of Delaware, offered a resolution for the amendment of the Constitution on a plan similar to the Crittenden compromise. General M'Clellan's division has attacked the entrenched camp of the Confederates, numbering 2,000 men, at Rich Mountain, Western Virginia. The Confederates were routed, and all their guns, camp equipage, and waggons were captured. Sixty Confederates and 20 Union men are reported to have been killed. General M'Clellan is now moving forward. The skirmishing in Missouri continues active. Large bodies of Secessionists are reported to be joining Governor Jackson, but the Federal troops are endeavoaring to intercept them. A vessel just arrived from Newport has brought the crew of thebrig John Welch, which was captured by a privateer off Cape Hatteras. The same privateer had captured five vessels, and sent them to Southern ports. Three revenue cutters left New York and two cutters sailed from Boston immediately, in order to endeavour to capture her. By order of General Lyon, Federal troops have entered the office of a Secession journal in St. Louis, seized the type, and prohibited the publica tion of the paper. The New Yorh Herald states that President Lincoln has replied to the resolution of the House of Representatives calling for the correspondence with Spain relative to St. Domingo, that it was not advisable to produce the correspondence at present. A severe shock of earthquake has been felt at Montreal, Ottawa, and Canada West. The brig Amy Warwick has been captured off Fortress Monroe. The Canada has arrived out. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

Their loss was heavy. Colonel. Smith has been reinforced at Monroe, Missouri, and has routed the rebels, who had surrounded him. The privateer J. Davis has made several captures, including the brig John Walsh, bound from Cuba for England. Six revenue cutters have sailed in pursuit of the privatere. The steamer Tynemouth has arrived. The Ham monia sailed to-day for Europe. FRANCE. The Emperor on Sunday evening honoured with his presence a ball given by the officers of the Grenadiers of the Guard now at Vichy. Dancing took place on the grass, a large tent, however, having been erected for the Imperial quadrille. His Majesty arrived as the shades of night were falling, and appeared in excellent health and spirits. The grand quadrille was composed as follows : His Majesty and Madame de Sonnaye, wife of the colonel ; a sub.officer and the Countess Walewska ; a fourrier and the Countess de la Bedoyere ; a cor poral and the Countess Litta ; a private soldier and the Countess Lehon ; another private soldier and a young English lady, and two other soldiers with young ladies of Vichy. This arrangement was suggested on the spot by the Emperor to do honour to the Guard, and the quadrille went off in most admirable order. A little after the quadrille the Emperor retired, and general dancing then com menced, and was kept up with great spirit till midnight.

ITALY. Baron Ricasoli, after the vote of the Italian loan by the Chamber of Deputies, addressed the follow ing circular to the diplomatic agents of Italy at foreign Courts : " Turin, July 2. " Sir,—The Chamber of Deputies passed in its sitting of yesterday, almost unanimously, the bill by which the King's Government is authorised to contract a loan of 500,000,000 f. The object of that loan being to enable the Government to pay the ex penses occasioned by the marvellous events which have taken place and to supply future wants, the adoption of the bill is an event essentially political. The discussion of that measure was consequently calculated to place the Cabinet, which an irrepar able misfortune has called to the direction of public affairs, in presence of the legal manifestation of the sentiments and convictions of the country; and the vote given would show the degree of confidence inspired by the present Ministry, and of the co operation which it might flatter itself on obtaining from the Parliament and the nation. " The result of that trial, I am happy to state, has fully responded to the ideas formed and the hopes entertained of the representatives of a coun try, which in the midst of such extraordinary events has constantly displayed patriotism and poli tical prudence, whilst at the same time it mani fested the firm resolution of readily accepting all the sacrifices required to effect its national inde pendence. " I have no need, Sir, to call your attention to the importance of the almost unanimous vote of the Chamber, and that importance is so much the greater that the bill on the loan provides for the most serious and vital interests of ocir country, and that the voting of it was preceded by the passing of another very important measure—that by which a single public debt for all Italy was created. Such results will, I am persuaded, exercise a favourable inflaence on our situation both at home and abroad. After having constituted national unity, we shall also succeed in founding the financial unity of Italy. Supported by credit and public opinion, we hope that we shall also be able, by the augmentation of the national wealth, and by a far-seeing and pru (dent administration, to provide for the expenses occasioned by a conflict of several years, and to re establish, in a short time, the equilibrium of receipts and expenses. The programme set forth with so much clearness and precision by my honourable colleague, the Minister of Finance, presents the strongest guarantee's, and we indulge in the hope that it will be received by public opinion abroad with as much favour as it has been by our Parlia ment and our country. " On my part, I have thought it right on such a solemn occasion to make known anew, and with all the frankness of a firm conviction, the inten tions of the King's Government with respect both to the interior and s to foreign countries. The ob ject of our policy is to dev elope at home national prosperity by encouraging commerce, manufac tures, and the arts—by giving to municipal and provincial authorities powers sufficiently extensive to enable them to promote interests of every kind —and, by resolutely and firmly defending public order without failing in. the respect duo to the laws, and in - the sincere application of the Liberal principles which are the basis of our Constitution. " As to foreign countries, the King's Government cannot lose sight of the undertaking IA ich, with Fe) much perseverance, has been conduct( d almost to the desired end. But in employing all our efforts to make national independence a fact entirely accomplished, confiding in the justice and sympa thies of Europe, we will never excite crises which may disturb the general peace and place iv danger the interests of the Italian cause. That policy, I doubt not, will obtain the assent of all friendly Powers, and render them favourable to the accom plishment of our destinies. " In seeing Italy already recognised by the prin cipal Governments of Europe, henceforth consoli dated in her internal organisation, and ready to give to the Government all sorts of co-operation, it is permitted to us to believe that the doubts which may still exist among certain Governments will soon be replaced by a sentiment of real security as regards the regular and stable march of the new order of things, and the definitive constitution of Italy. . . "I authorise you, sir, to act in accordance with these observations in your relations with the Go vernment to which you are accredited, and I pray you to accept, &c , " RICASOLI." ADVANTAGE OP CRINOLINE.—On Tuesday after noon, as the Penguin, passenger steamvcssel, was proceed ing down the river to Woolwich, an incident of a soinewhat amusing nature occurred at Blackwall-Fier. An elderly lady was About to embark on board the vessel, but he ging to pass through the brow (three feet wide) which connects the floating dummy with the steps of the stone pier, after ad vancing a few steps her ample crinoline came to a dead lock, and the unfortunate lady became a perfect fixture amidst shouts of laughter from the spectators. After vainly nndea vouring to get out of the fix for at least four minizies, and as it was necessary to remove the blockade to allow ingress for other passengers, the lady was politely lifted over the sides of the brow by the pierman, but was so discomfited by the merriment which prevailed that she wisely declined to pro ceed on her journey until the arrival of another steamer.

It was felt severely at Ottawa city, chimneys being shaken down and walls split. TRIAL TRIP OF TILE BLACK PRINCE. The preliminary trial trip of this vessel took place on Tuesday, marking another stage in her progress towards completion. Since the launch of the vessel on the 27th February last—shortly after which she was towed to Greenock and berthed within Victoria Harbour—the business of sheathing her with the 4k-inch iron plates, putting in the engines, laying the 42-inch planks on the iron decks, and otherwise preparing the vessel for her full naval equipment at Portsmouth, has progressed steadily. At these operations there have been, in and outside of the vessel, as well as in the tempo rary sheds erected along the quay, between 300 and 400 men employed, most of whom were from Messrs. Napier's ; and latterly the complement was strength ened by a party of engineers, smiths, and boiler makers from the Messrs. Penn's works. A trial of the engines was made in the harbour about a month ago, when they were found to work smoothly even at the first; and last week, after the propeller had been attached it was again lifted, to admit of their being tested a second time. On that occasion the vessel's head would have been placed against the quay, and the propeller kept in its place, but it was feared the action of the fans would have caused so much motion in the water that the foundations of the quays would have been injured, so that there was nothing for it but a trial in the open. waters. Accordingly everything was so far for warded as temporarily to admit of this being done, and on Tuesday the vessel was towed out of the harbour into the stream for that purpose. Upwards of 500 invitations were issued by the Messrs. Penn, and at half-past 12 the vessel got under weigh, with more than her full complement on board. The departure was witnessed by a large number of people, who lined the quays to witness the depar ture of the vessel, and who cheered lustily as she gathered way on her first voyage. The vessel was towed out of the harbour by five tugs, under the direction of Captain Miller, the harbour master, and after passing the harbour mouth the vessel's own engines were set in motion. As she passed onwards she increased in speed, and fairly got under weigh a little below Greenock—the band of the Hogue and the Greenock band playing " Rule Britannia" and "The National Anthem"—very soon thereafter distancing the tugs which had brought her out. At about 30 minutes past one the vessel passed the Cloch, and we believe it was then intended to have run the Lights, for it was then perfectly apparent that the vessel was making at least 14 knots an hour, which is equal to 16 statute miles; but after being abreast of the Cumbrae, and when near the entrance to Millport, it was thought advisable, as certain parts of the machinery had not had fair play, to bear up and return ; accordingly, the ship was laid about, and this was the first time the helm was proved in turning her. In every respect she answered her rudder exactly, and although some time elapsed before the colossal ship could be made to:describe the circle, she soon came round, and in a short time distanced the small craft who were then in company with her. During the several times she plied within the Lights it may be safely affirmed of the Black Prince that her speed was not under 14 knots an hour ; and this was attained with a pressure of 201 b. of steam. The screw varied from 52 to 58 revolutions per minute, and the 40 fires of the ten boilers were all in trim. During the whole time the vessel was under the charge of Capt. Ewing, of the Liverpool Company's service, and Mr. Adam, as pilot. About 70 men belonging to the Hogue were told off to assist in working the vessel, and the services of most of them were re quired at the rudder, which has not been finished, and had to be worked with blocks and tackling. After the vessel had proceeded as far as Ashton she was again laid about as successfully as before, and again she passed the Cloch on her way down at 3h. 36m : 108'. After proceeding at full speed for a considerable distance it was deemed expedient to slacken the pressure, and shortly afterwards the company adjourned to the after compartment of the main or gun deck, where a sumptuous dinner had been provided for them. Some idea may be formed of the proportions of this gigantic ship when it is intimated that in the space allotted for the cabins of the vessel more than 300 people were comfortably seated in a few minutes. After dinner the company adjourned to the upper deck, and by this time the vessel was off Gourock, on her upward course. The steamer Lady Kelburne, which, along with several of the Clyde Shipping Company's tugs, had been in attendance on the vessel throughout, then came alongside, and the larger portion of those on board were transferred to her and conveyed to Greenock. Although this has only been the preliminary trial, it is only say ing the least of it that altogether it has been most satisfactory, and gives fair promise of superior ex cellence when the vessel has been entirely cora pleted.—Glasgoto Herald. LITERATURE. Paul Forster's Daughter. By Dutton Cook. 3 vols. Hurst and Blackett. This is a work that possesses considerable attrac tions, and towards the close of the story the in terest becomes most exciting. There is great ori ginality about the style, and the descriptions are often very striking. There is much scope given for the exercise of ingenuity in the characters met with. Mr. Whinthorp Erle and his eldest son furnish us with instances of accomplished villany that for a long time elude discovery, and flourish in the eyes of men as marvels of respectability and patterns of all propriety in social and moral qualities. The old man dies before the mystery is out, which is as well, as thus the full weight of the mystery falls upon Jeffrey, who is as hateful a disposition as can be supposed. Edwin, the second son, is of quite a different character and interests us by his unhappy position neglected by his cruel relatives, and disappointed in all his hopes and expectations. Sylvia the heroine is a delightful maiden, she is truthful in all her ways, and the very difficult position of affairs which surrounded her demon strated her various powers to the utmost extent. Her father was a very peculiar style of man, and his unfortunate connection with Jeffrey adds greatly to the complication of matters. Jeffrey behaved in a most cruel and heartless way in his so-called engagement with Sylvia, and it is most satisfac tory to find him outwitted at last. Newton Dax is quite a character and sketched in a very skilful manner. His first meeting with Edwin is very quaintly described and gives an interest to their subsequent acquaintance. There was a temporary cessation of friendship in consequence of some mis takes and misapprehensions that had occured many years before in relation to Sylvia's mother, but all that was soon afterwards made clear, and Paul Forster had the happiness of finding that his suspicions regarding his wife were without foun dation, and thus the evil intentions of old Erle were turned to the profit and advantage of Paul Forster, instead of militating against him, as his enemy had hoped and planned even on his death bed. The two sisters, Desiree and Gabrielle, had led wretched lives after the marriages into which their father had forced them, and the sad fate attendant upon their career seemed to descend on their children, Edwin and Sylvia. At last came a brighter time—and after a most stormy struggle with Jeffrey, whose frauds had been discovered, and who was almost frantic—the much-tried cousins were left in peace. It was Jeffrey's desire to take Sylvia abroad with him, and he made most strenuous efforts for that purpose, having, pre viously to his illness, obtained the consent of Paul, who did not know of the delinquency of the pro poser, and believed that his daughter's wel fare would be thus secured. Happily the base schemes and designs of the former of these noted individuals were discovered in time to stay the sacrifice, and Edwin, aided by his friend Newton, soon proved too much for the crafty hypocrite. Aurelia Vane is a very smart sketch of a young lady who had been in public from her earliest days, and who was ready at any time to show herself of to the best advantage, and to make the most of any opportunity that offered. At one time Edwin Erle had admired her greatly, having always had a decided taste for the theatre. When he became attached to Sylna, however, Miss Vane soon reconciled herself to the disappointment and married another of her numerous admirers. The scene between her and her friend Miss Cobb is very naturally described, and reveals much knowledge of character. It was only in accordance with one of Miss Vane's disposition that she should continue on the stage after she was married to Mr. Jukely, the eminent performer on the cornet-a-piston in the orchestra of the Theatre Royal Nonpareil. Septimus Rook is a fair delineation of a good-natured youth who, without much ability, possesses some discernment and discrimination, and is not deceived by the specious pleading of his employer Jeffrey Erle. He was devoted to Edwin, and determined to discover where he was when, in consequence of a quarrel at home, he suddenly disappeared from the office. In this purpose he braved the unapproachable Jeffrey himself, and forced that worthy to lite more explicit than many would have deemed at all practicable or pos sible at first. Some of the scenes here chronicled are very exciting, such as the deathbed of Mr. Winthorp Erle, when so many conflicting passions were at work, and so many various interests at stake. The concluding passage that relates to Jeffrey's final discomfiture is also very impressive. The wily dupe could not have been more completely unmasked than he ,was when threatening his bro ther, and Sylvia, and the poor bed-ridden Paul, his accuser stept forward in the person of the hospital nurse, who had attended his father's last hours, and heard the disclosures that took place in those solemn moments. There are many sad spectacles and many sad words at those times, but nothing more dread ful than when the expiring man unconsciously de clares some dreadful secret that he never intended should reach mortal ear. The crafty and astute old lawyer was not successful in his ultimate efforts.' What he told intentionally was turned from his cruel design to a happy result. What he had resolved should not be told escaped his lips in moments of delirium, and rose up as warnings against his son when he was threatening and vili fying others. With its stirring recital of events, and its strange personages who are so aptly de scribed, this work contains much that will assu redly attract the attention and gain the admiration of many readers. It is throughout written in a very striking style, and displays in some of its scenes a considerable knowledge of life and manners. There fore it may be recommended to notice as a very clever production in its way, and one that is sure to amuse and interest by its varied and vigorous descriptions, as well as impart information concern ing some of the subjects treated of in its pages. Some of those who figure prominently in the story of " Paul Foster's Daughter" are of that class and character that cannot be passed idly by when met in real life, but must stamp their images on one's mind, and affect, for good or for evil, the generation to which they belong. Portrayed in the annals of fiction, they inevitably awaken the attention, and remain fixed in the memory after the reader's immediate acquaintance with them has ceased. This novel will be ranked with the superior works of the season from its general ability ; and its pages present much that is suited to all tastes, as the chapters range over many scenes, and bring in many different characters to contribute to the general effect and work out the several plans. The Graduated Series of .Reading Lesson Books. Book the Fifth. Longman. The graduated series of reading lesson books published by Messrs. Longman is now becoming well known and widely circulated. As the title implies, the !essons are graduated in difficulty and quality, extending from the simple rhymes and fables of the first book, to the varied extacts from our best authors which are included in the fifth and concluding volume of the series. The editor has endeavoured to form the pupils' taste and to encou rage a love of literature no less than to facilitate the acquirement of the mere art of reading. There is certainly in this last book enough to suit all tastes ; and he who cannot find something to please him in selections from Johnson, Carlyle, Sydney Smith, Foster, Mill, and Ruskin, in general literature ; Warburton, Humboldt, and Huc in descriptive travel; Mackintosh, Hallam, Gibbon, Froude, Macaulay, Napier, and Creasy in history; and Owen, Gosse, and Hugh Miller in natural science, had better abandon the study of English literature altogether. The editor has displayed great judgment in the task of selecting and arrang ing the materials for these works, avoiding elabo rate pieces of rhetoric or uninteresting catalogues of facts, but consulting the natural tastes of the intel ligent pupil, at the same time that he has conveyed a good deal of information incidentally. The whole series of reading books is admirably adapted for schools, and this latter volume is especially well suited for those tutors and private teachers who wish to cultivate in their pupils a correct and refined taste, and to familiarise them with the styles of our great English authors. Regeneration. By W. Anderson, LLD. ; second edition. Adam and Charles Black. The works of the Rev. W. Anderson are held in deserved esteem among the members of the Scotch Church, and have also been disseminated in this country. The volume before us having reached the second edition, and having secured an extensive circulation, scarcely requires criticism. Its sub stance was delivered in the form of pulpit discourses, which have since been collected and condensed into a treatise. The long delay which has elapsed be fore the publication of the second edition is ac counted for in a mournful manner. The eldest son of the writer, who was preparing the work for a second edition, and adding corroborative extracts, from the writings of eminent divines, died suddenly, and the painful reminiscences attached to his un finished task, have rendered the revision of the work a most unwelcome labour to the bereaved parent. Without entering upon the theological tenets of the work we can recommend it as the production of an earnest and vigorous author, an u uthor,nhink whose s, y e is ch tensed by great clearness and decision, and b a r whos e ; teachings displaY both t h eore ti ca l truth, and a wise spi r it n f. " r e - for isitng style -- Practical toleration. Gr ua...mm..l. Introducton to the Art of .Reading. By J. G. Graham. Longman. This is a useful little treatise, designed princi pally for the instruction of the young, but also likely to be of service to those whose professions require them to speak or read in public. Its chief object is to secure a correct systeth of pronunciation, and its instructions and exercises are all directed to this end. For this reason the work will be useful to foreigners, as the English pronunciation presents formidable difficulties to the student of the lan guage. A judicious selection of passages from standard authors enables the young reader to put the rules into practice. Popular lectures on the " Essays and _Reviews." By the Rev. John Cumming, D.D. Bentley. This volume consists of the lectures which the Rev. Dr. Cumming delivered in various places to miscellaneous assemblies, on the much vexed ques tions arising from the publication of the celebrated " Essays and Reviews. Dr. Cumming's views on the subject are well known, and the lectures before us are already familiar to many. They are now reproduced in a compact and commodious form, and will probably be very widely circulated among Dr. Cumming's admirers. Hunt on Stammering and Stuttering; their Nature and Treatment. By J. Hunt, F.S.A., &c. Long^ man. The opinion is gaining ground that most of the distressing affections of speech can be eradicated, or at least considerably ameliorated by judicious treatment. Mr. Hunt, who has devoted much time and study to the treatment of such cases, has already published works on the organs of voice and speech. He has been successful in instructing many pupils who suffered from these lamentable defects, and the work contains some of the results of his experience. These results are every way encouraging to the stammerer, and they also convey very important lessons to his relatives or guardians. The cases in which stammering or stuttering has been mimicked until it has become a confirmed defect of speech in the mocker are numerous, and the instances in which sensitive children have be come thus affected owing to sudden frights or severity of treatment, should serve as warnings. Mr. Hunt tells us that one of the worst cases of stuttering he ever saw was caused by the parent of the sufferer stamping and shouting " Silence." We commend the perusal of Mr. Hunt's volume to all who are subject to these distressing affections, or who have the charge of young persons Eimilarlp situated. Crockford, Crochford's Scholastic Directory. Wellington -street. This is the first appearance of a work which is likely to form a useful addition to our numerous directories and works of topographical reference. It comprises the whole of the educational establish ments in the United Kingdom, including therefore the list of principals of colleges and public schools, of endowed grammar and other public schools, of the parochial schools of England and Wales, and of private and foreign schools. The information given is not restricted to the mere names and addresses, but full particulars are furnished. For instance, in the list of public schools we are told the subjects required to be taught by the original deed of foundation; the number of scholars, whether day scholars and boarders are allowed, and the various exhibition's and scholar ships attached to public schools. The private schools have required much time and trouble, there being no fewer, it is said, than fifty thousand in the United Kingdom. The editors profess their readi ness to receive any correction or additional infor mation, and the work will probably become one or our standard directories. DEATH OF SIR JAMES C. IIIELVILL, K.C.B. We regret to have to announce the death of Sir James C. Melvill, K.C.8., which took place on the 23d inst. His name has been familiar to all who have been connected with Indian affairs during the last 30 years. He occupied a high and influential position in the home service of the East India Com pany, shortly before whose political death in 1858 he retired, having served the Company with zeal and ability for half a century. He was the eldest of four sons of Captain Melvill, Governor of Pendennis Castle, in Cornwall. This officer, who was in the Royal army, commenced his career in India, and was among those who were taken prisoners upon the defeat of Colonel Baillie's force in 1780 131 Hyder Ali, the grandfather of the present Gholana Mahomed. The wounds which he received on that occasion, and his ill-usage during his imprisonment, it is supposed, shortened his life, and he left a large and young family. Sir James Melvill entered the home service of the East India Company at an early age. He soon displayed those qualities which distinguished his future career, and he rose by rapid steps to the highest permanent position at the East India Honse, being appointed, in 1834, Chief Secre tary, which office he held till his retirement in 1858., He was also G overnment Director of the Indian railway companies. He was at one period, we believe, offered high office under the Crown, but he resisted the invitation, and remained a faithful and zealous servant of the East India Company. He was always regarded as an eminent authority on all questions of Indian policy, and he was invariably among the first whose opinions were taken in any Parliamentary inquiry. In the discharge of his public duties he brought the highest integrity and zeal to bear upon a clear and vigorous intellect. His death will be mourned by a large circle of ad mirers. His brothers are Mr. Philip Melvill, late Military Secretary at the India House ; the Rev. Henry Melvill, late Principal of Haileybury and Canon of St. Paul's ; and Colonel Sir P. M. Mel vill, K.C.8., late Military Secretary at Bombay. THE PRIVATE FETES AT CREMORNE GARDEIVS. A repetition of the private fetes given at these gardens last Thursday, in aid of the funds of the Spitalfields Weavers and Emigration Committee, took place last evening, and—the admission tickets not requiring on this occasion the vise of the lady patronesses, under whose management the previous fete more immediately came or—with a consider ably enhanced success. The weather during the day was anything but propitious for the al freseo entertainments at Cre morne, and the addition to the funds of this deserv ing charity to be derived from last evening's fete suffered proportionately ; but, in other respects, the entire arrangements, which were under the manage ment of the able executive, were all that could be desired, and afforded to the visitors the utmost satisfaction. The programme was the same as that provided for Thursday's fete, so that a detailed description of the general amusements of the evening would be but repetition of what has already been said concerning the attractions of these private fetes; suffice it to say that the several exhibitions of Professor Wohl gemuth—the dogs and monkeys—the balloon races —the Swiss singers --the Cirque Oriental—the ballet—the Fire King—the wonderful Leotard (by far the most graceful and at the same time the most daring of all the trapeze gymnasts we have yet seenj—and the fireworks—all of which are to be found in the everyday bill of fare of the gardens, met with their usual success last night. The decorations of the grounds, with variegated lamps in endless profusion, were arranged with great taste, and as these are to remain for the re mainder of the season, Mr. E. T. Smith will com mence his lesseeship of Cremorne on Tuesday next, under the most favourable auspices ; for apart from these additional attractions, the gardens themselves were never seen to greater advantage than they are at the present time. p It is only n ecessar y t o s t a t e th a t Mr. Simpson takes his farew e ll b ene fit t o - n i g ht, to secure him a t ten year s does To Cremornehi his excellent owe management its and the amusem en t- see king public will not f orge t the benefit-night of one who h as s o successfully' catered period. y catered for them for so long present for p o the u a r p i as t y GRAND 111.ETROPOLITAN RIFLE CONIEST. v a a large ri3us THlS n p u a m t h a D e r A o fs Y i f nLgoonrd otankitnoglpVaorrtminwotahoyde ' Volunteers and others owntietnstel,:which commenced t?-d underScproceededir grand u'hbi ssth morningfeeo metropolitan from patronage o li n pt Fie o os rifle fe ofe Lord Ranelagh, of the 2d Middle sex,d the Hon.
