Why are the QUEEN'S loving subjects to be de prived of the pleasure they had anticipated in witnessing the nrorogation of Parliament by her MAJESTY in person ? This is a question which has been asked by many, and we doubt not will become the subject of general comment throughou t the country. The omission is the more remark able, considering what a capital opportunity the ceremony offered for introducing her MAJESTY'S Royal guests—the Princs and Princess of PRUSSIA and their daughter—to the atmo sphere of a free deliberative assembly. True these royal personages take their departure to morrow, but surely they might have been pre vailed upon to stay to witness so interesting a spectacle. The deference paid to the feelings of German and other despots at our Court is noto rious. Can it be that the same kindly considera tion which withheld all pressure of invitation to NAPOLEON to visit our legislative assemblies has again been exercised, though with a refine ment of delicacy in the present instance, and knowing that everything constitutional is unpleasant to the German eye and ear her MAJESTY leas been advised not merely to refrain from request ing their attendance, but from going herself, lest their absence should afford occasion for comment ? It cannot be that her MAJESTY is reluctant to meet her faithful Lords and Commons. It would rouse the entire nation to the many evils brought about by the Coburgian Austro - Prussian intervention which patched up " the Precious Peace," if one so startling as this were to be added. Some explanation is surely necessary. Her MAJESTY has abundance of time to attend at a succession of reviews - and yet at the close of the War declines dismissing in person the High Court of Parliament ! There is as yet, we fear, but little hope for Spain 1 The conspiracy against the Constitution was too artfully contrived—the preparations for the movement, instigated by O'DONNELL, too elaborate to give the betrayed parties any rea sonable prospect of success. The banner of the Constitution, however, still floats on the walls of Saragossa, and although the reports may be un favourable while that banner is displayed, the good cause cannot be considered as completely overthrown. There has been fearful treachery and duplici►y exhibited towards ESPARTERO and the majority of his colleagues—treachery manifested not only by the new Minister who was so`deeply indebted to the man whos3 power he destroyed, but by the SOVEREIGN who owed her Throne to his exertions. It is to be feared that it was not Spaniards only who were concerned in these sinister intriguw,. The name of tl.e Marquis DR TURGOT is bandied about in a very unpleasant manner, and it is more than hinted that he has taken a prominent part in bringing about the act of p er j ury and treachery, miscalled a coup d'etat. ther he misled his Government is a more doubtful matter. It may be convenient for the Cabinet of the Tuileries to have a convenient scapegoat whom they can throw overboard at short notice ; but we fear that their sympathies are all on the side of the reactionaries, and that they will be prepared to throw off the mask, and to hazard a direct interference, should there be any necessity for so decided a step, and should O'DONNELL not be enabled to succeed with the merely moral support that has been pr,,mised. The forination of the so-called army of observa- tion of 25,000 men, on the line of the Pyreneei, bears a very significant aspect. It cannot be re garded in any light save as a menace of interven tion, and assurances have doubtless already been given, both at Paris and Madrid, to show that the O'DONNELL party have nothing to dread from j the demonstration. But if any doubt could be entertained on this point it must be completely set at rest, by a semi-official article that appeared in the Moniteur of yesterday, and which will be found in another part of this day's impression. The disguise hitherto maintained has there been deliberately cast aside. There is an affectation of a desire to witness "the establishment of a constitutional Go vernment, on a firm basis," but the cloven foot is speedily exhibited in all its naked deformity, by the assertion that "as the ESPARTERO Ministry did not seem to possess either the power to pre vent excesses, or the requisite energy to lead a great country, it is natural to hail with sympathy a change of a nature to consolidate the Throne of ISABELLA. II." This is mounting the O'DoNNELL colours with a vengeance. There can no longer be any mis take as to the nature of the instructions for warded to the discreet and obedient editor of the ' Ministerial organ. LOUIS NAPOLEON' has damned himself for ever in theopinion not only of every true hearted] Englishman, but of every friend of civilised and religious liberty in the world. The credit (1) given to Mar shal O'DONNELL for having attempted, without a coup d'etat, to restore order in Spain— " the first and indispensable basis of liberty" —is unfortunately too decisive. It is needless to say to any English reader that the disorderlies were those invoking the name of order—that matters were perfectly peaceable at Madrid and throughout Spain until the vile pro ject was hatched of setting aside the Constitution —the only foundation on which rested the Throne of ISABELLA ll.—and establishing a despotism on its ruins. It was, however, scarcely becoming on the part ' of Lours NAPOLEON to permit the mouthpiece of his Ministry to speak quite so contemptuously of public opinion and the vex populi. It is to one of those baneful "pronunciamentos," now so earnestly deprecated, that h , owes the position which he occupic , , and the power of exercising the most trivial influ ence over the affairs of Europe. He is, indeed, greatly changed since the time when the plaudits of the assembled myriads greeted his visit to the British metropolis— " Heit, quantum mutates ab illo Hectore." He is now the ally of despotism, the earnest oppo nent of Constitutional liberty. He has apparently aspired to play the role formerly filled by the Czar Nicn.on.ts, and to rend©r himself the sup porter of every would-be Autocrat. It is wcII, however, that the true state of affairs should bi recognised—that France and Europe should le awakened from the delusion so long indulged in, and that Louts NAPOLEON BIIONAPARTE should be exhibited, even at the eleventh hour, in his true colours. The sneer at "Republics" sctrcely comes well from him, or from those professing to act under his inspiration ; but still it is well to know even the direction to which his wishes tend—that Liberals and Constitutionalists tn,y learn that iu place of a friend and well-wisher, they have in the Emperor of the FRENCH a fo& more formidable than either 6 1 ::cir or Kaiser, land one against whose machinations it is neces slay to guard with the utmost vigilance. THE SUN, LONDON, MON DAY EVEN INI JULY 28, 1866, the Jokery. The Noble Lord who puts off every Groan of the country with a Wink—tide CHARLES DICKENS'S periodical. The noble lord who is always on the broad-grin whenever the honour of the nation seems to be in any way more than usually imperilled. The noble lord who is to the Crimean Army, let us say, for example— precisely what a physician would be who (instead of any remedy whatever, even one the most com monplace) jocularly administered a dig in the ribs to a patient at the last gasp ! And this -0 Tempora I—this is England's model Statesman, this is The Right Man in the Right Place ! Never—again we assert it—never has there been witnessed before now any adulation more gross or more indecent than that with which the Times of to-day beslavers the Lord Viscount PALMER STON. LATEST _NEWS. 'd ainful necessity of repelling force by force. The barri cades erected in the streets del Conde, del Asalto, and de la Union, which led to the Rambla, were carried and destroyed, and their defenders driven from position to position to the gates of the city. They then sought re fuge in the suburbs ; and at the departure of the mail, on the 19th, they were surrounded by the troops. The rebels suffered severely." - The following despatch is also published by the fazette : " The Captain-General of Valencia writes, under date 21st, one o'clock p.m. Brigadier Planas defeated on the 19th the insurgents of Reuss and disarmed the National Guard of the town. Tranquillity is completely restored in the province of Tarragona. At Carthagena the dis cipline and loyalty of the troops prevented a popular movement. The Governor of the city, General Ping, refused to obey the Government, but Col. Teran, who commands the regiment of Valencia, assumed the go vernment of the place in the name of the Queen. At Albacete tranquillity is re-established, and the portion of the national militia which effected the pronuncia mento is being disarmed. Nothing new occurred in other districts subsequently to my despatch of yes terday." PORTUGAL. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY MORNING. The Baganza, steamer, has arrived with Lisbon Letters of the 22d inst. The country was perfectly tranquil, and no fears were entertained of its imitating the comueotions in Spain. The following is a translation of the King of Portugal's speech upon closing the Cortes at Lisbon on the 19th inst. " Worthy Peers and Gentlemen Deputies of the Por tuguese Nation,—At the moment of closing the session, the last of the present Legislature, I have again come to testify how much I appreciate being in the centre of the national representatives in order to signify to you my satisfaction at the zeal you have mani fested in the fulfilment of your important legislative functions. The causes which gave rise to the change of Ministry at the beginning of June are well known to you. Convinced that increased facilities of com munication by means of good roads and of railroads is now as imperious a necessity as it was always of the highest convenience, you did not hesitate to vote the sup plies which my Government proposed for that object. I thank you, and trust that my wishes and your own will be fulfilled by the uninterrupted progress of public works, upon the largest possible scale, in order that the country may in the shortest possible period enjoy the immense benefits resulting therefrom. The harvest this year do not promise to be better than the last. I hope, however, that from the measures you have adopted to attenuate the evil, and above all, by the favour of Divine Providence, we may be enabled to pass the ordeal without seriously suf fering its terrible consequences. I deeply deplore that the cholera morbus should have again afflicted the capital and other parts of the kingdom. It, however, con tinues to diminish in gravity, which fortunately never became very alarming, and every care has been, and still is, taken to diminish its ravages by the prompt succour of those requiring it. It is pleasing to me to announce to you that the public tranquillity has been maintained in all points of the kingdom. " Worthy Peers and Gentlemen, Deputies of the Portu guese Nation,—l am fully assured that during the interval of your Parliamentary labours you will still con tinue to render most valuable services, fortifying the people in the spirit of conciliation and tolerance, and in respect and obedience to the law." The Session closed on the 23d inst. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, JULY 23. A few days since (probably on Saturday, the 19th) the Austrian Government forwarded another note to the Neapolitan Government. The lan guage employed by the Austrian Government in the note in question was " extremely urgent," but still the prevalent opinion, in high political circles, is, that little or no attention will be paid by the Naples Cabinet to the representations of Count Buol. A strange report has been in circulation for some days past that the King of Naples enter tains some idea of abdicating in favour of his son, Prince Francis, who is now in his 21st year. INSURRECTIONARY MOVEMENTS IN ITALY. TURIN, SATURDAY, JULY 26. An insurrectionary movement was attempted East night in the duchy of Massa-Carrara.* The particulars are not known here yet. The telegraphic wires thence are broken. TURIN, MONDAY MORNING. The movement at Massa has been completely suppressed. Only about 60 persons crossed from the Sardinian territory ; 20 were arrested on the ►ntier. The telegraphic communication has been re established. * The duchy of Massa-Carrara belongs to the Duke of Modena, whose estates touch the frontier of Parma. THE OVERLAND MAIL. We learn by telegraph that the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's steam-ship Valetta, W. Roberts master, with the India and China mails, from Alexandria, arrived at Mar seilles this morning, Monday, July 28, at 7 a.m. The mails were to leave at 9 a.m. SPAIN. The Moniteur of yesterday publishes the follow. ing article on the recent events in Spain : "We have watched with interest the recent events in Spain, and we have approved them to a certain extent, as we fancied we discovered therein a favourable chance for establishing the Constitutional Government on a fire& basis ; for France, which represents in Europe the ideas of 1789, can entertain no other wish than that of beholding a neighbouring State, in whose prospe rity she takes a deep interest, avoid anarchy or despotism—those two shoals so dangerous to pro gress and liberty ; and, as the Espartero Ministry did not seem to possess either the power to pre vent excesses or the requisite energy to lead a ' great country, it is natural to hail with sympathy a change of a nature to consolidate the throne of Isabella 11. " Some foreign journals, blinded by their un warranted preference for a name, have called a coup d'etat that which was simply a resignation of Ministers, accepted purely aad simply by the Queen after reiterated refusals. If the resig nation had been that of O'Donnell they would have found it perfectly constitutional. Party spirit should never misrepresent things to such an ex tent, and thereby endeavour to mislead public opinion. " The condition of Spain had been deplorable for two years ; that great country, for so long a time the arbiter of Europe, whose alliance but recently was eagerly sought for, had sunk into insignificance. It had neither finances, nor army, nor commerce, nor administration, nor influence abroad. In this difficult position ambitious men, instead of endeavouring to give strength to what existed, attempted to overthrow it, either by flattering the passions of the mob or by attempt ing to realise dangerous utopias. The disorders which have agitated Spain for the last few years must be attributed to the fatal idea of certain Ministers, four years since, to make a coup d'etat, when Spain was tranquil and prosperous, and when there was no cogent reason to urge them to make a sudden change in the laws of the kingdom. " For a coup d'etat to he legitimate in the eyes of posterity it must be justified by a supreme necessity, and be regarded by all men as the sole means of saving the country. " We know those who dreamt of coups d'etat not with a view to modify some institutions, but to subvert the throne or change the dynasty, either by uniting Portugal to Spain under the House of Braganza, or by establishing a regency. We there fore give credit (nous lui savons gre) to Marshal O'Donnell for having attempted, without a coup (Vela, to restore order in Spain, the first and indispensable basis of liberty. We give him due credit for having during the first moment of anarchy devoted all his care to the reform of the Spanish army, as well in a moral as in a material point of view ; for it did not suffice to reform bat talions and squadrons—it was essentially neces sary to give to soldiers who are as brave as they are capable of great things the only mainsprings for the maintenance of an army, duty and fidelity to the Sovereign, and discipline. " Let us hope, then, that the recent changes will put an end to those coups d'etat and to those baneful pronunciamentos, for it is our sincere desire that Spain, which contains so many ele ments of strength and prosperity, should resume, in the midst of quiet, the rank which is her due, instead of descending to the level of certain Re publics of South America, where neither patriot ism, nor civic virtues, nor high principle are to he found, but only a few Generals who dispute the power with the help of soldiers led astray by empty promises. The Moniteur also publishes the following items of intelligence : lARCELONA, JULY 24. The Consul-General of France to his Excel lency the Minister of Foreign Affairs : We have just learned that General Ruiz, the commandant of Gerona, has evacuated that town. He was only followed by a company of chasseurs of the national militia. It is not known what direction he has taken. Catalonia is therefore freed from revolutionists. The militia of little localities hasten everywhere to give up their arms. PERPIGNAN, JULY 26 Tlae Prefect of the Eastern Pyrenees has sent the following despatch to his Excellency the Mi nister for Foreign Affairs : The events in Catalonia oontinue to be more and more favourable to the cause of the Queen. The revolutionary junta of Gerona is dissolved, consequent, it is said, on the arrival of the troops of Routs. General Ruiz has fled to France, as well as the Deputy Henriquez Clement, one of the leaders of the insurrection. Discouragement and disorganisation were making rapid progress in the ranks of the insurgent militia. SIT. SEBASTIAN, JULY 26. The French Consul has sent the following des patch to his Excellency the Minister for Foreign Affairs : General Echague is still at Alagon, near Sara gossa. Ho has established a telegraph-office, and communicates with us. The insurgents of Sara gossa have demanded a suspension of hostilities for five days ;it has been granted. Brigadier Smid has waited upon General Echague. He is to bring over some of the troops desirous of sub mitting. Great discouragement prevails at Saragossa. The truth is beginning to make itself known. These advices are of the 25th. To-day, the 26th, the General informs me of the surrender of Jaca. The garrison has been relieved and the Governor changed. Other advices received at Paris announce the arrival of General Dulce before Saragossa. Our accounts from Madrid are of the 23d inst : The Gazette publishes the following official de spatch from Barcelona : - "The moment intelligence of the change of Ministry reached Barcelona the extreme parties began to raise ! their heads. The agitation redoubled when the rebellion ' of Saragossa became known, and it was then evident I that a collision vk as imminent. During the night of the 17th s rlous sym?toms of disorder were observed. In the evening of the 18th the movement broke out, a portion of the national militia joining in it. The de inonstrations, twice repeated by the troops to induce th armed groups to disperse, being attended with na result, the military authorities were under the d ...~ CO WES, ISLE OF WIGHT.-July 26. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the Prince and Prin cess of Prussia drove through our High-street in an open phaeton on Saturday afternoon. As the Royal party were waiting for the arrival of another carriage from Osborne, with the Princess Royal and attendants, they proceeded very slowly, passing across the Parade to Egypt, thence by Dottens Farm to Newport, and returned to Osborne by the East Cowes road. The Queen, Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, the Princess Alice, the Prince and Princess of Prussia, and suite, attended Divine service at Whipping ham church this morning. The church was so crowded that many ladies could not reach farther than the porch. ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE.—Commo dore the Earl of Wilton arrived in the roads on Saturday afternoon in the Zara. This being his first visit this season, he was saluted from the R.Y.S. House with 11 guns, which compliment his lordship returned. The following yachts are at the station :—The Royal yachts Victoria and Albert, Fairy, and Elfin ; Zara, Commo dore the Earl of Wilton;- Amazon, Sir J. B.

The Town Regatta is not yet fixed, but the 26th of August is expected to be the principal day. The potato disease is spreading over the island. The haulm iu many places is quite black ; in others the tubers are diseased, and the leaves and stem still green. The quantity planted this year is very great. TURNIPS.—Swedes have failed, and on the shore of the new forest the green palmer has attacked the crop. The corn looks well. The fruit crops are a general failure. LORD EBRINGTON. The public will lear❑ with regret the affliction that has befallen the noble lord in the course of investiga tions made in the cause of suffering humanity. Having in connection with the late severe mortality of the army had his attention called to the deplorable condition of many of the military hospitals at home, even of those in the metropolis, he determined to see and examine them himself with the view of bringing them under the consideration of the Legislature, upon a motion of which he had given notice. He visited several of them and c inver,ed with many of the suffering soldiers. In com miseration of the patients he prolonged his stay in one toul ward where a number vs ere aftlcted with ophthalmia. Shortly after this visit be, was himself attacked w►th purulent ophthalmia of the most virulent and agonising character in both eyes. For a long time there was immi nent danger of the entire loss of sight. By the unre mitting attention and slain of Mr. White Cooper the use of one of the injured eyes has been preserved, Let on Saturday for the relief and safety of that one, it was found necessary by him, with the sanction and in the presence of Sir Benjamin Brodie, to perform an opera tion for the removal of a tumour, by which his lord ship, atter very prolonged suffering, is permanently de prived ut the use of the other eye. He and his family may be consoled by the ass urance that the suffering and the permanent injury awl disfigurement sustained in such a cause will everywhe !re entire strong sympathy. TEL f.IG NCI" DR.

" Sir,—ln reference to my letter to you of the 10th of January last, No, 10, reporting, for the information of ' the Lord Cquimission er 3of the Admiralty, that C )m -mander Nolloth, of her :Majesty's ship Frolic, had not succeeded in gaining airy intelligence of the African traveller, Dr. Livingst on., during his late visit to Guilli maine, I have now the honour to acquaint you that the brigantine Dart, which. 'arrived here yesterday, having been ordered to call at. Guillimaine to make further in quiries, has succeeded in ascertaining that this gentle. man reached Tette, tho furthest inland station of the Portuguese in Eastern 4..frica, on tha 2d March last, in good health ; and I tm close a copy of a letter, dated March 3, at Tette, frail t Dr. Livingston, addressed to the commander of any. :English vessel of war at Guilli ursine, forwarding soon, s scientific papers for her Ma jesty's astronomer at th e Cape, which were received on the 4th inst. by the of ficer in command of the Dart, when at that port.

The royal mail ship Oliver Lang, Capt. - Mendell, arrived in the Mersey yesterday forenoon, from Melbourne, with advicos to the 2d of May, 260 pas sengers, and 60,000 ounces of gold. She had also on board 500 bales of wool and 580 tons of copper Ore. The mail ships Sardinian and Joseph Tarrant had arrived at Melbourne from Liverpool, and the Hilja from Greenock at Sydney. The Royal Charter was to sail for Liverpool May 25, and was expected to carry an unusually large amount of specie. The Walmer Castle was to sail from Melbourne for London May 15. Increased productiveness was the characteristic feature of the gold field. Progress and good order were prevalent at all the gold districts. The weekly"average of the receipts of gold at Melbourne was nearly 60,000 ounces. Gold at Melbourne was worth 3/. 16s. 31. per ounce. The Melbourne Markets; have been steady, with out much change in prices. In some articles there has been a good deal of speculation owing to the news of the peace negotiations—indeed many per sons look forward to another glut and another crisis at no distant date. Inquiries for agricultural and for all kinds of unskilled labour have been on the increase, and the numbers offerinf , have not been anything like equal to the demand. Female servants scarce, and much wanted. Wool was advancing in value, owing to the fa vourable accounts of prices from England per Roy al Charter. The tallow market was flat, and prices nominal. Freights nominal, there being but little export trade. GENERAL BEATSON. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SON. SIR,—I request you will do me the favour to publish the accompanying letters, in the hope that the Minister for War, and those who act under his guidance, may profit by the opinions of two of the ablest officers in the Britian army.—l am sir, your obedient servant, W. F. BEATSON, Lieut.-General. 4, Lower Grosvenor-place, July 26, 1856. " 112, Eaton-square, July 25, 1856. " My dear Beatson—The enclosed letter was addressed to me, as you wilt see by the signature, by one of th' noblest of spirits, as well as one of the meat experienced and brilliantly distinguished of our war officers. " Should you give publicity to the sentiments therein expressed, and any person or persons alluded to be de sirous to know the name of my gallant friend, I shall be happy to communicate it to him or them. " I hold it to be undeniable that no man of honour can make or forward a charge morally affecting an offi cer, without, at the same time, affording him an oppor tunity of immediately refuting it in case he may have it in his power to disprove the imputation. Honour and honesty, therefore, demand that no lime should be lost in transmitting to the accused a copy of the charges, toge ther with the name of his accuser. " Acting on the above principle, I addressed the as sembled officers of a corps I commanded, and in which the present War Minister was serving under my orders, to the following effect : " You are aware, gentlemen, that a commanding officer is required confidentially to report at the halt yearly inspections regarding the efficiency and conduct of the officers of the regiment ; but I beg you may rest assured that I never shall make a report in any manner unfavourable to an officer without my previously placing a copy of it in his hands ; and no one shall know any thing of it from me except the person to whom I may report and the officer against whom I may make a re port.' " Such is the principle on which all honourable men act ; and in regard to the accusations of anonymous cowardly assassins, men of honour either commit them to the flames or band them over to the person accused, on the chance of his being able to detect and drag the vile miscreant from the lurking den of slander in which the wretch of a coward shelters himself. " Ever, my dear Beatson, " Your truly sincere, "D. MWOLIGALL (Signed) (Copy.) " 'My dear Sir Duncan,—lt is difficult to express the disgust with which I read the debate, and still more the votes, in the house, on Beatson's case. " But it appears to me that his friends did not suffi oiently tackle the quibbling of Peel and Palmerston about the anonymous malice of the accusation. _ " General Shirley was not the accuser, but the r?- porter of the accusations. The real accuser is still anonymous. Why was he not brought out " The Government is eves now proceeding on anony mous information. General Beatson does not know who his accuser is 1 " ' The Minister of War should have been pinned to this course. "'General Vivian received an accusation, ❑ot anony mous for him, but anonymous for Lord Panmure. The latter should then have demanded the name, and in stantly told Beatson of the accusation and the name of his accuser. Inquiry could then have been made for further proceedings honestly. " But with such a House of Commons our lives and honour are no snore safe than with the -Venetian Council." le s "Cardinal Wiseman (gays a letter from Vichy), yield ing to the solicitations of a number of ecclesia,tics col lected here at present, as well as of the Bishop of Moulins, consented to deliver an address on the occasion of the fete of St. Vincent de Paul. He spoke on Saturday last before upwards of 2,000 persons assembled in the court of the hospital, and produced a great effect. He pronounced the panegyric of the great apostle of France, and represented him as the greatest reformer of society of modern times, and the most intelligent interpreter of the doctrines of Christianity. For an hour and a half the cardinal held the crowd absorbed by his words, and at the end was loudly applauded." Recollections of the last Half Century. By the Rev. J. Richardson, LL.B. Two vols. C. Mitchell. Dr. Richardson, of The Times, is the very man to fasten upon one, effectually, by Ole buttonhole when once he has fairly made up his mind to ad venture upon the outpouring of his curious and motley Recollections. All the bassoon playing in the world can't lure us from his revelations. Like the Wedding Guest we "needs must hear." The Rev. LL.B. " hath his will." His Recollections, too, extend over half a century—the reminiscent " hearking back" to his teens—and amusing us with memories of the most motley kind imagin able, some Political, some Literary, some Dra matic, and others Miscellaneous. A veritable Olio of Gossip ! A collection of appetising ingre dients in the way of amusing chit-chat, com prising, among other things (the very title page pleasantly forewarns us) "anecdotes and notes of persons of various ranks prominent in their vocations, with whom the writer was per sonally acquainted." Observe !—" persons of various ranks prominent in their vocations." Are they not ? Why, the celebrated confabulation ranging from Shakspere to tke musical glasses, was nothing to it. Don't we "hear tell" in the amazing area of this volunteer Remembrancer, not of the City merely, but of the Country also pretty generally—don't we hear tell in this amazing area sundry marvels uttered almost in the same breath, about Miss Biffin, that horrible limbless abortion, who so far appears to have resembled an elephant, that her principal characteristic seems to have been her " trunk," and about "Carotid-artery cutting Castlereagh, Whose pen-knife cat a goosequill t'other day." About Liston, the surgeon, and Liston, the far ceur About Burke, the Orator, and Burke, the Deaf Jun ? About the " celebrated clown" (sic in Index) Mr. Bradbury, and Edmund Kean, the Tragedian ? The monstrosities both in the way of unnatural actors and natural phenomena " figuring away" as George Cruikahank would have it, in these pages is, according to the expres sive phraseology of Samuel Slick of Slickville, " cautionary—that's a fact 1" Insomuch that the two volumes appear to us in their way to be in a manner the Richardson's Show of Literature. In it don't we have appropriately a tolerable sprinkling , of the raw head and bloody bones by means of allu sion, here, to the murder of Eliza Grimwood, there, to the suicide of the first Marquis of Londonderry ? Are we not regaled with allusionsnow to Tom Thumb the mannikin, now to Jacko the man-monkey ? Verily the work before us may, without exaggera tion, we repeat, be designated simply, but expres sively, the Richardson's Show of Literature. Walk up Ladies and Gentlemen, and you shall see what you shall see—a full, true, and particular account of this person, that person, and the other, the no torieties, the celebrities, and the monstrosities of the last half century. You shall hear all about the Tavern kept in Wych-street once upon a time by Mark Lemon, the Editor of Punch ! All about the prigging of rare prints from the British Mu seum by Deighton, the Caricaturist ! All about Beau Brummell's gormandising ! All about Mr. Frost, the insurgent, and Mrs. Fry, the philanthropist ! All about Fauntleroy the forger and other interesting criminals too numerous to particularise ! All about such people as the Char lies and such others as the Resurrectionists ! Dr. Richardson has a fine eye for a fault, and a won derful capacity for nosing a delinquency. Anybody almost he mentions, he can tell you the weak side of with astonishing accuracy. If he introduces us to Dr. Parr, the great Greek scholar, he shows him up to us in a beastly state of intoxication. If he spe cifies among his contemporaries at Eton the " Poet of Poets," as he has been called, Percy Shelley, he does so after this exceed ing droll fashion : speaking of him as one the memory of whom " is fast sinking in the obli• vion it deserves "—adding—" I allude to Shelley called the Poet." Now this we really take to be about the funniest thing in all Dr. Richardson's " Recollections." Here, however, is his sketch of Shelley "called the Poet"—Percy Shelley, in other words the " Poet of Poets"—vide the Art. " Shel ley " in Charles Knight's Penny Encyclopredia. Says Dr. R., however, of his illustrious Eton con temporary : " Mr. Shelley commenced his literary labours at a very early age. He produced, whilst at Eton, a sort of romance. The bulk of the volume was not very great, and I believe the price of it was only sixpence. Toe quality was an exaggeration of raw-head and bloody bones' 1 ‘ on horror's head horror accumulated,' and hero, heroine, assistants, and subordinates were in turn, or rather all together, the victims of wilful murder under the most revolting circumstances. The author was at this time a wild looking, slovenly, dirty, uncouth hobbe dyhoy, and certainly gave no promise of those perfec tions which, rightly or wrongly, as people's ta-,te may decide, his admirers affirmed he possessed." Droll, that, isn't it? Tumbling down, however, from the Tritons to the Minnows, we find our Re miniscent discoursing, a little later on, not about the Great Gun (Shelley), but about the editor of the Great Gun (F. W. N. Bayley)—not about a poet, but about a poetaster and a little fribbling humorist : Alphabet Bayley, as he was wont to be designated. Of whipm, as one of his personal associates, Dr. Richardson observes facetiously, in allusion to his decease—that-- " Mr. Bayley sunk gradually in the estimation of the learned and the unlearned, the patrons and supporters of literary speculation, became less careful than hereto fore of his personal appearance and the respectability of his associates, was occasionally disfigured with a black eye, and after a severe attack of yellow jaundice, took the road to that bourne from which no traveller re turns." A. very droll event for the poor fellow ! It is curi ous to remark, by the way, that the individual who talks of Shelley as a " slovenly, dirty, uncouth hobbedyhoy," speaks of Barnard Gregory—the notorious Barnard Gregory of the Satirist news paper—thus—" He was gentlemanly and retiring in his manners, and, having a good fund of anecdote, was amusing iu his conversation." Dr. Richardson speaks in very high terms of commen dation of this characteristic peculiarity observable in Mr. Barnard Gregory.— " One good quality, a quality which, if it were more generally diffused amongst newspaper writers, would be a great relief to tke community : in private society he never talked of the ' shop,' or in less homely phrase, he never made allusion to his own affairs as connected witli the publication of which he was the proprietor." We should think not ! But surely in his abstain ing from any reference to a matter of such infamous notoriety was not surely a quality in Mr. Barnard Gregory deserving of such very high commendation. Let Dr. Richardson think a little over it and answer to himself ! Yet these incongruous allusions to Shelley and Gregory set aside—the work is full of the ma terials of agreeable entertainment. It could scarcely fail to be so with the last half century as the broad canvas upon which Dr. Richardson conjures up bis strange and motley remembrances. Are they not most strange and most motley these recollections ? Wait an instant—here is one of them ! Dr. Richardson is talking of the lamentable suicide of Lord Castlereagh. " I recollect," he says, "that shortly before the cala mity took place, I had bowed to his lordship in Picca dilly, at the very moment he was purchasing a penknife, in the street close to the White Horse Cellar, front one of the itinerant dealers in cutlery, who sold such things to the stage coach passengers, and was trying the keen ness of the edge of it on his thumb-nail. It, might be that he, at that momert, contemplated suicide, and was providing himself with an instrument for its accomplish. ment." There is a street scene for you ! Derry-down triangle buying (hard by the White Horse Cellar in Piccadilly) the penknife with which he was soon after to cut his throat Dr. Richardson giving him a courteous bow of recogni tion as he passes by, his lordship (the while) trying the keenness of the edge upon his thumb-nail Incidentally there is introduced in the course of the work under notice a deeply interesting account of the rise and career of Thomas Barnes, the Editor of The Times,—illus trative memorial anecdotes sprinkling the volumes here and there in reference to such m en as Morris Barnett, the English-Frenchman ; as Geo. Colman the humorist, and Geo. Canning the statesman ; as Ireland, the forger of Shaksperian balderdash ; as Pierce Egan, the scribe of the Pugilists ; as " Jerry Sneak" Russell th e come dian, and Dan Dawson, the horse poi soner, an d Ned Graves, and Billy Gibbons, and Jemmy Farrell, and Harry Lee, and Jack Nash, and Dick Vaughan, mid divers oth er personages introduced, with a no less gay familiarity of abbre viation. Here they all are—flitting before us like faces glowering and grinning through the disk of a phantasmagoria. And thu s fitf u l, var i e d and grotesque, are Dr. Richardson' s P o liti ca l , Lite rary, Dramatic, and Miscellaneous Recollections. Captains Stewart and Hyde, of the General Screw Company, have entered the service of the European ;,tail Australian Mail Company, the former as superlatsr. dent, and the Lttter ai commander. COINAGE.—From a Parliamentary return issued yes terday, of all gold, silver, and copper monies coined a , the Mint from the Ist cf January, 1846, to the 314 of December, 1855, it appears that 48,577,357 sovereigns and 10,587,402 half-sovereigns were coined, together of the value of 53,871,0631. The silver coined in the same period comprised 216,682 crowns, 2,744,P81 half crowns, 6,731,292 forms, 14,357,066 shillings, 14,559,663 ei pences, 5,064,714 groats, 41,580 fourpences, 3,530,861 threepences, 308,880 twopences, and 78,408 pence; to gether of the valu e o f 2 , 214 , 1511 . T he cop p er coinage comprised 14,891,520 pence, 24,156,381 halfpence, 22,548,564 farthing, an d 5,632,416 h a lf-fartbinga, of the agvezate value of 138,7951, CORN EXCHANGE. Although the supplies of wheat in most of the country markets held on Saturday were very moderate, the de- mand for all kinds ruled heavy, at drooping prices. Most spring 'corn changed hands to a limited extent, on former terms. The Continental markets, almost generally are very quiet, althoughlthe supplies of produce offering in them are limited. From the United States, we learn that heavy shipments of both wheat and flour continued to be made to England. Only limited supplies of home-grown wheat and other ar ticles were received up to our market last week. From abroad, the imports were large, viz :-36,784 quarters of wheat, 5,39 k barley, 37,007 oats, 342 beans, 120 peas, 7,136 linseed, 590 rapeseed, 3,190 Indian corn, 160 sacks and 9,240 barrels of flour. A very limited supply of English wheat was received fresh up, to-day, direct from the,home-growers; but some quantity came to hand from the merchants ; however, the show of samples of both rod and white were good. Owing to a large influx of foreign grain, and the favourable lie counts at hand respecting the general appearance of the crops, the demands for all kinds of wheat of home-pro duce ruled heavy, at a decline in the quotations realized on Monday last of from 3s to fully 4s per quarter. We were rather heavily supplied with foreign wheat, in which very little business was done, at 3s. per quarter be neath last week's currency. There was a moderate sale of floating cargoes, but on lower terms. We had very little barley on offer, and the trade was tolerably firm at late rates. No change took place in the value of malt. The trade was steady. There was a large quantity of foreign oats in the mar• ket. The oat trade was heavy, at 6d. to is. per quarter beneath last Monday's quotations. _ _ Beans and peas were in short supply, and moderate re• quest, at late rates. We had a very dull inquiry for flour, and country marks were 2s. lower. American qualities gave way le. per barrel. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts put up to-day were moderate in number, but deficient in quality. Prime breeds sold somewhat steadily at last .Ifonds.y's quotations, the best Scots being worth 5s 2d per 81bs, otherwise the beef trade was heavy at a decline ix value of 2d per 81bs. The arrivals of beasts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire amounted to 1,800 short horns ; from other parts of England, 400 of various breeds ; from Ireland, 250 oxen J and from Scotland, 70 Scots. We were tolerably well supplied with sheep, but the show of prime breeds was comparatively small. Gene rally speaking, the mutton trade ruled dull at prioes barely equal to those realised on this day se'ennight. About 2,000 sheep have come:to hand from Ireland via Liverpool. The supply of lambs was moderate, and the demand for that description of stock was in a sluggish state, at last week's prices. We had a large number of calves in the market, and the veal trade was heavy at 2d per Blbs money. Tn pigs very little was doing, yet prices were supported.
