FRENCH threatens to be more formidable to him than the French. He can build iron ships against the latter, can summon kis volunteers to the aid of his regu lars, and is absolutely without fear of them. But against the Cot. FRENCH he has no protection. He cannot even fight by proxy—he must meet him himself early next session, and meet him on the floor of the House of Commons. It was really too bad of Col. FRENCH to threaten his lordship's inter sessional peace of mind in this way. Cheery, to be sure, not easy to depress, is the temperament of our political veteran ; yet, when the amusement or business of the day is over, to think every night of Col. FRENCH demanding House of Commons jus tice on the Government which dared to annul the Galway contract is enough to disquiet the nerves of any Premier. It must be all the worse because now Lord PALMERSTON could offer him more than he has offered without humbling his Government to open political jobbing, it is not easy to see. Great are the Premier's resources and the fertility of his in vention, but what he can further invent that will please Col. FRENCH, and not displease every honest Englishman, puzzles us to conjecture—and then, the Colonel will be able to muster strong on a division. It will be all Ireland, and all the Tories of England against all the Liberals of England, minus JOHN A. ROEBUCK—a stiff match that for the poor Liberals. If they make it a vote of con fidence-question, we should nit be surprised if they were bowled or caught out. Lord PALMERSTON appeals, indeed, to the verdict of the committee. It was, as it could but be, favourable to the Post-office. But then his lordship went on to say as civil things as he could for every body. The Tories, who began the job, meant, not to purchase Irish votes, but to benefit a country which needed a little generous aid from wealthy England. Then, though the company were so un skiltnl, the poor shareholders were patriotic persons. They had not thought merely of pecuniary advan tage, but of benefiting the trade and commerce of their green isle. Even for the company he had much pity, some of these disasters beini, such as happen to all ship companies—disasters arising from causes w holly beyond their control; nor did hi s l or d s hi p good responsible companies unkindly mention that always make provision for the certainty of such acci dents occurring sooner or later. More forbearingly, more kindly, n o public servant cculd speak of th ose who had hopelessly failed to fulfil their contract obligations to the public. Then, again, what could Lord PALMERSTON offer more. He will give up in behalf of the patriotic Galway shareholders a principle sound in all other transactions. Contracts for the Govern ment ought to be submitted public competition, the best bid, with adequate guarantees to be taken. But in the Galway case he is willing to depart from this rule. There is ample time before the opening of Parliament—if the Company will by the time Parliament meets again put itself in a position, in regard to capital and machinery to perform the required service, if it will on such a basis make ap plication to Government on reasonable cohditions, the Government will look favourably on the pro posal, and will lay it before Parliament. Lord PALMERSTON very rightly thinks that after all that has passed it would be impossible for the Go vernment to make any contract with the company without the explicit sanction of Parliament. He reserves indeed the whole subject for the considera tion of the Legislature as well as the Government— and as if to please all partses, were that possible, he leaves the port itself of departure, still an open question. What it is that is not quite satisfactory to Colonel FRENCH, unless it be that the Government will .not engage to obtain for Ire land seTentS eig hty thousand a-year of the public money, f or Na lue either received, or not received, we cannot te'l. No Englishman can lower himself to lower tern's than those offered by the Premier. oppor eunitate m ortis, says a groat hi s t or i an of a great Roman who, thoa g h great conqueror, Wan Nobly alive to till: tieserts of the British of his day. And the historian of the session just departed 9 may eertainlr rePeat the remark of the biographer of AGRICOLA, when he records that an intended long speech by Mr. SCULLY, a speech which he had just begun, to end Heaven knows where—for the Irish member abounding in words was just com mencing the endless tale of Irish grievances—that this Irish speech on Ireland and the Government, was ruthlessly cut short by the entrance of the Black Rod !—some honourable members profanely laughed—but the honourable and learned member laughed not. Deeply did he grieve, not so much over the grievances of Ireland, as over a much greater grievance, the loss to Ireland and the world or, what is the same thing, to Irishmen all over the world, of that pathetic picture he had readyin his me mory and imagination. Short, indeed,was his speech, but full of beginnings most hopeful for Ireland and the Irish; it was big with promise of eloquent recitals of duties omitted and sins committed against the much-wronged land of the Galway Contract, when, suddenly the fates, in the person of her MAJESTY'S Commissioners, summoned him and his audience to another place ! Col. FRENCH, we are told, could not suppress his evident sorrow—he looked on the other Irish members, then on the learned member, and again thinking of the speech so prematurely sent to the shades, he exclaimed— Ostendent terris hunc tantum feta, neque ultra Esse sinent Heu miserande puer 1 si qua fats aspera rumpas, Tu Marcellus eris. But the house laughed—and thought itse;f happy in dying just at that moment ! Strange: that it could listen with interest to speeches on Italy, on Switzerland, on Nice and Savoy, on Syria even, but would laugh at death rather than listen to an Irish speech on Ireland. We are disposed to think this laugh should be catalogued amongst the Irish grievances, and amongst the greatest of them, too. Mr. SCULLY will, doubtl ess , commence th e nex t session with the speech meant for the end of this, just as Colonel FRENCH means to renew his Galway eloquence, with which he finished his part of the, session, early in that of 1862. Mr. SCULLY can then add to his long list, by which he will endeavour to awaken to peni tence and reformation—the sin above all sins against beloved Ireland through him, that the house laughed when SCULLY was silenced. It knew what was coming—it knew that Administra tive neglects and wrongs, and Legislative neglects and wrongs, and the great wrong of doing right on a postal contract, and the wrongs against Ireland in Italy; wrongs against Catholics, wrongs against Protestants even, wrongs against landlords, and still more against tenants—it knew that it was to hear a tale of wrongs that might have touched political stones, but it preferred not to be touched ! It laughed, followed Black Rod, heard its own funeral service, and joyfully went off as if to the Elysian fields. Happy, but too happy, to find in sessional death a passage from VINCENT SCULLY and Irish grievances to the seaside and the country-seat, to anywhere and everywhere but to the House of Commons. During the Parliamentary session which ter minated yesterday—the great do-nothing session of 1861, the session of the Wednesday defeats—an unusual number of changes took place in the House of Commons. A brief epitome of these changes among the M,P.'s of England we have already excerpted in the form of a readable little paragraph from the columns of bne of our morning contempo raries. The circumstances therein referred to, rather, we should say, perhaps, therein hurriedly enume rated, hastily massed together, are some of them so peculiar in themselves that - we cannot but deem them worthy here of some more careful analysis, of some more minute and deliberate examination. Altogether, between the meeting of Parliament early in February and the prorogation of the two Houses early in this present month of August, there were no less than twenty-four elections or re-elec tions among our representatives. There were, in fact, six re-elections—simply pro forma —and eighteen electipns, some with, some without, oppo sition. The half-dozen re-elections were attributable, of course, to the circumstance of the members con cerned, in each instance, having accepted office in one shape or another—involving an appeal to their respective constituencies. The Premier, for example, had to demand once more the suffrages of the electors of Tiverton by reason of the Wardenship of the Cinque Ports having been awarded by the CROWN to the Lord Viscount PAL MERSTON. Mr. JOHN LOCKE, again, had to appeal to his constituents at Southwark upon the occasion of his acceptance of the Recordership of Brighton, as the successor of Mr. EDWIN JAMES, Q.C., and late M,P. for Marylebone. Sir WILLIAM ATHER TON'S re-election at Durham was necessitated by his promotion from the Solicitor-Generalship to the Attorney-Generalship, when Sir RICHARD BETIIELL advanced to the woolsack in the robes of the Lord Chancellor. Sir GEORGE GREY, quitting the seclu sion of his sinecure post as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, to resume his old position as Secretary of State for the Home Department, had to be re-chosen by his Morpeth constituents. Sir ROBERT PEEL had to secure again (a matter of not much difficulty) the votes of the electors of Tam worth, on his nomination by the Prime Minister as the Chief . Secretary to the Irish Lord- Lieutenant. The Right Honourable EDWARD CARDWELL had yet again to walk over the course down at the City of Oxford, upon his removal, it is somewhat difficult to say upon his promo tion, from that .office of the Irish Secretary ship to the Chancellorship of the Duchy of Lancaster, left vacant by the advance to the Home Office of its present Chief Secretary. Such use then are the half-dozen instances of re election rendered necessary this year either by the acceptance of office, or the exchange of office by these six among the national representatives. Now , as to the eighteen new electio ns , m a ki ng , with these six re - e lections, the f u ll num b er o f Sess ion, twenty-four durin g the timated. 'Half of th e eighteen seen directly that there were (af(for rexactlyjtwill be already nine) in - were consequent upon deliberate resignations on the part of the late representatives. Theeni remain ing to n ine being attributable — four of them Death—five to elevations to the Peerage. Three out of these five elections to the peerage b e i ng the results of new creations, the other two o f simple inheritance. The resignations to the number o altogether may be readily enough recalledtfnine altogether ie recol lection. Mr. JosEPri CROOK having withdrawn from the further representation of Bolton i e -rdoo was succeeded there by Mr. BARNES. At tile borough of Bradford, again, Mr. TITUS SALT, by his retirement into private life, necessitated an other election, and was succeeded by Mr. W. E. FORSTER. The great metropolitan constituency of Marylebone, suddenly startled by the abrupt dis appearance from public life of its late popular representative, Mr. EDWIN JAMES (at a doubly pro voking juncture, too, in his career, seeing that the Solicitor-Generalship was all but within his grasp) —had to choose a new representative in his place, and in so doing eventually carried Mr. HARVEY LEWls's name to the top of the poll after a stormy contest —putting his name, in fact, fax in advance _ of All the other candidates, including Sir Roßll3a CARDEN, Mr. WINGROVE COOKE, and Mr. TWELVE- 1 At South Shields, Mr. HUGH TAYLOR resigning, was succeeded by Mr. HODGSON. At Banffshire Major GORDON DUFF gave place to Mr. R. W. DUFF AEERCROMBY. At Longford, Colonel HENRY WHITE, by tendering his resignation, made way for (the merest change of a Christian name !) Colonel LUKE WHITE. At Richmond Mr. HENRY RICH, the old time-honoured Whig member for the borough—(a terrible bore in the house, by the way, as a long-winded dull speaker, but very much re spected nevertheless in spite of his long-winded ness)—at Richmond Mr. RICH generously gi v i ng way at last to the exigencies of party, and to his own yearning for repose after long service, made way for the return into the House of Commons, through that vacated seat, of the new Solicitor- General, Mr., or as we must now call him after his knighthood on Monday by the hand of his Sove reign, Sir ROUNDELL PALMER, M.P. for Richmond. At Andover—rather an unpleasant recollection this for many parties—at Andover Mr. WM. CUBITT, now the respected Lord Mayor of London, with drawing from the representation of that snug little borough for the purpose of being put in nomina tion as the Tory candidate for the City of London, simply yielded up a seat to Mr. H. B. COLES, the now member for the Lord Mayor's forsaken constituency. Finally, to complete the catalogueof the nine resig nations, there was the resignation of Mr. ALLAN LOCKHART, as M.P. for Selkirkshiro, a resignation that has resulted in the acquisition of another vote by the Tories through the successful candidature down there of Lord HENRY SCOTT, son of the Duke TREES. of BUCCLEUCH. The four deaths during the session may be yet more readily enumerated than the foregoing list of resignations. Dr. JOSEPH NOBLE, M.P. for the borough of Leicester, was succeeded there by Mr. HEYGATE. While at Pembroke, family influence was so powerful that, as the merest matter of course, by a sort of right divine, Sir JOHN OWEN was succeeded in the representation by Sir HUGH OWEN, the new baronet. Mr. DAVID PUGH, late M.P. for the Montgomery Burghs, has scarcely breathed his last when he is replaced there as member by his son-in-law, Captain WILLIS JOHNSON. The most regretable de mise of all, because the most premature, being that, in the thirtieth year of his age, of the Hon. THOMAS EDWARD MOSTYN LLOYD MOSTYN, late M.P. for Flintshire, the lamented deceased being the eldest son of Lord MOSTYN, and therefore heir to the title and estates. The Hon. THOS. ED. MOSTYN being succeeded in the representation of Flintshire, not, however, as was at one time ex pected would be the case, by a Tory, but, on the contrary, by Lord RICHARD GROSVENOR, son of the Marquis of WESTMINSTER. There remain now only to be notified the five elevations to the Peerage—three by new creations—two by right of inheritance. The five vacancies thereby left at intervals among the ranks of the popular representatives being filled up by the return of Lieutenant-Colonel BATHURST for South Wiltshire—of Mr. LESLIE for Aberdeen shire—of Sir DAVID DUNDAS, for Staffordshire — of Mr. WESTERN WOOD for the City of London— of Mr. WEGUELIN for Wolverhampton. The vacancy in the instance of Aberdeenshire being caused by the advance of Lord HADDO to the House of Lords, upon the death of his father, the late Earl of ABERDEEN—the vacancy in the instance of Staffordshire by the advance of the Marquis of STAFFORD to the Lords, upon the demise of his father, the late Duke of SUTHERLAND. Everyone may count off the three new peerages of the session, necessitating the election—respectively at London, at South Wilts, and at Wolverhampton—of three new representatives. There was the elevation to the House of Peers of the Right Hon. SIDNEY HERBERT as Lord HERBERT of Lea— prior, alas ! only to his disappearance altogether from the midst of his admiring contempo raries. There was the elevation of Sir RICHARD BETHELL to the peerage as Baron WESTBURY, simultaneously with his yet higher elevation to the Woolsack as Lord High Chancellor. And, to com plete all these, there was the elevation of Lord JOHN from the House of Commons to the House of Lords as Earl RUSSELL—a removal, of itself, sufficient to render for ever memorable, in the annals of the legislature, the recent session of Imperial Parliament. The Duke of Newcastle and the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P., have postponed their departure for the country until after the interment of Lord Herbert, at which his grace and Mr. Gladstone purpose to be present, out of respect to the memory of their late personal and political friend. THE BISHOP OF DURHAM.—We regret to an nounce that information reached London yesterday which gives but very faint hopes of the Bishop of Durham's re covery. His lordship appeared some days ago to be getting gradually better, but he suffered a relapse, which has given the greatest alarm to his family and friends. The Right Hon. C. P. Villiers, M.P., the Bishop's brother, and Lady Teresa Lewis, his sister, have both left London for Auck land Castle. The Archbishop of York has kindly under taken to discharge the duties of the diocese of Durham during the illness of Dr. Villiers. THE ROYAL WESTERN YACHT CLUB.—Her Ma jesty has been graciously pleased to present to this distin guished club a splendid prize cup, to be sailed for at the forthcoming regatta. This cup, nominally valued at 100 guineas, is from the manufactory of Mr. Hancock, the emi nent jeweller and silversmith, of Bruton-street, and is in the highest degree worthy of the European reputation of the firm. It is, indeed, a remarkable work of art, designed and executed with all his wonted fertility of invention and felicity of taste, by the celebrated sculptor Signor Raphael Monti. The composition of the figured subjects is free and bold, and all the accessories and details are exquisitely finished. MERITORIOUS CONDUCT.—On Saturday one of those pleasing international recognitions of humanity and bravery, which are of no very unusual occurrence, took place in the Liverpool Sailors' Home. The occasion was that of presenting a silver medal from the Emperor of the French to Wm. Morgan, captain of the steamship Marger ton, in acknowledgment of his services in saving the crew, five in number, of the French sloop Euphrosyne. The pre sentation was made by Mr. Smith, a member of the Local Marine Board, who, in presenting the medal, intimated to Capt. Morgan that he had been invited to receive at his (Mr. Smith's) hands the gift of the French Emperor. The gift, a very handsome silver medal, was a recognition of Capt. Morgan's having done a highly meritorious act in saving the lives of the crew of a vessel at great personal risk to himself. The present was the first occasion in which such a service had been acknowledged by a medal of honour presented to a British shipmaster, and it must, conse quently, be looked on as one of the highest honours which the French Emperor could confer. The medal bore the subjoined inscription :—" Au Capitaine William Morgan, Commandant le Navire Anglais Mangerton. Service ala Marine Marchande Francaise, 1854." In receiving the gift Capt. Morgan said he felt altogether inadequate to make any circumsta nces . lacts thobservationano fwords, on nc, t h f e found un s nd u d b i j ut e h c d t o e. doing gn vessel w f a h c aa t nt , hd h e e was hheard e done oe mnwea he in emdoi hadsr n more done w h a t any man should have done under similar mshi p belonging y ear Capt.

A Berlin letter states that a new order of knight hood will be created to commemorate the coronation at liseaigaberg. L E T NEW k 47. CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. NEW YORK, JULY 27. General M'Clellan has arrived at Washington to take the command of the Federal army. The Union army is being reinforced. The War Depart ment is accepting all regiments that are offered. The War Department has received information that the Confederates are advancing to attack Harper's Ferry. Three Federal regiments have returned to New York, and met with an enthusiastic reception. The New York press and the Union Defence Committee attribute the disaster at Bull's-run to the incapacity of the Federal Cabinet. The New York Times correspondent at Fort Pickens states that Admiral Milne has officially informed the British Government that the blockade is totally insufficient. According to advices from Havannah to the 18th instant one of the prizes captured by the privateer Sumter had been released. The remainder were detained to await instructions from Madrid. The difficulties between Spain and Hayti had been satisfactorily settled. QUEENSTOWN, AUG. 7. The City of Washington, on leaving New York, passed Prince Napoleon's yacht, bound in.

Sir Henry Bulwer had an audience of the Sultan to-day. His reception was most warm. In replying to the congratulations of Sir Henry Bulwer, the Sultan expressed his deep sense of the friendship of England, and his determination to effect large reforms. Pensions have been granted to the recently dismissed members of the Grand Council. A forthcoming general circulation of c%imes is announced. Exchange is rising. AUGUST 6. Ali Pasha has been appointed Grand Vizier. The Imperial Hatti, dated yesterday, in announc ing this appointment to Ali Pasha, states that it had been deemed necessary to relieve Mehemet Pasha of his functions, and says : " We are convinced that by fidelity, intelligence, and prudence you will be able to worthily fulfil my instructions relative to the great affairs of Europe." Fuad Pasha has been appointed Minister for Foreign Affairs, and Kianil Pasha President of the Council of Justice. FRANCE. PARIS, AUG. 6.

The journals of Naples announce the arrest of Demata, the murderer of M. Mele, Inspector of Police, This arrest was not effected without con siderable difficulty. It appears that three National Guards, gentlemen of good family, had accidentally become acquainted with the hiding•place of this young monster (for he hadcommitted his first murder as early as the age of 13), and also with the watchword he had given to his accomplices. The three persons above-mentioned repaired to the place, end knocked at the door, saying " Aprs studente" (open the door, student), which was the watchword they had learnt. Demata opened accordingly, dressed in his shirt and drawers, and with a cigar in his mouth ; but on finding himself attacked he seized his revolver, and fired six shots, only one of which, however, produced some effect, slightly wounding one of the aggressors. The others fired also, and wounded Demata in three places—namely, in the neck, ab domen, and leg. Meanwhile, one of his accom plices, who lived in the same room with him, jumped out of the window, and in doing so received such severe injuries that he is stated to be in a desperate state. Demata was at length mastered, and taken to the police station, amid cries of "Death to the assassin," uttered by the multitude that had as sembled. fIUNGARY. Advices from Pesth state that M. Deak, who was charged to draw up the reply to the Em peror Francis Joseph, has finished his task. It appesrs, however, that before the debate on this document, the Chamber will discuss this question of nationalities. The difficulties of the Austrian Government consequently seem to increase. The empire, instead of advancing towards unity, is becoming more and more divided, accord ing as the representatives are called upon to express their sentiments on the different points of M. de Schmerling's programme. SPAIN. Some of the Madrid journals having asserted that General Serrano was about to resign the office of Captain-General of Cuba, and to be replaced by General Prim or General Ros de Olano, the semi official C orrespondancia declares that he has no in tention of retiring for the present, and that, on the contrary, he was going to San Domingo to organize the Government of that colony. According to the Epoca, the Duke de Valencia (Marshal Narvaez) is to return to Madrid early next month. The Granada journals state that three poor persons — one a hatter, another a charcoal dealer, and the third a public letter writer, had been lodged in pri son on the charge of having distributed Protestant works and defended Protestant coctrines at Alhama, Trigo, Luno, and Matamoros. It is added that the E ng li s h at Granada were l ib era ll y providing for their wants. A ' 'lB6 LITERATURE. --to-- Recollections of Willianz Jay, of Bath. With Occasional Glances at some of ins Contem poraries and Friends. By his son, Cyrus Jay. Hamilton, Adams, and Co. We regret that the demands upon our columns have prevented us from noticing until now the above very interesting and well-written volume. It is intended in a great degree evidently to form a supplement to the autobiography of this eminent Dissenting preacher, published a short time after his decease, by his literary executors, and supplies a copious and minute narrative of those thoughts and actions, and more particularly of those private domestic habits and pursuits, in which it would be unbecoming for a man either to praise or censure himself. Probably, with the exception of Rowland Hill, no preacher among any of the Dissenting congre gations of this country enjoyed a larger or a wider popularity than the late William Jay of Bath. His first sermon was preached at Allington, a village in Wiltshire, when he was little more than sixteen. He began the regular discharge of a Dissenting minister's ordinary duties at the early age of nineteen, and continued them unin terruptedly for a period of sixty-five years. During this long career he made the acquaintance of a host of celebrities of all classes, professions, and varieties of religious and political opinions. Among them were the Marquis of Lansdowne, Samuel Wesley, Hannah More, Lady Huntingdon, Robert Hall, William Cobhett, Edward Irving, Rowland Hill, James Montgomery, Etty the artist, and many others. Of these well-known personages we have many very interesting anecdotes, capitally told, by the author of these recollections, who, considering the position in which he stands (being the son of the late preacher), we are bound to say has executed his task with great fairness and impartiality, and has out of the materials afforded him produced an extremely interesting and well-written volume. The work is illustrated with two portraits of Mr. Jay, at the age of nineteen and at the age of eighty five, and also with a sketch taken of him only the day before his death. Journal of the Workhouse Visiting Society. No. XIV. Longman. This excellent periodical contains some very in teresting articles on the management of pauper children. The extracts from the Inspector's Reports on the schools for this class afford some very valu able hints. One of the most successful projects for improving the condition of the boys has been that adopted at the Boys School, Union Workhouse, Wolverhampton, where the master has tried a sys tem of military drill with very satisfactory results. The improvement in the health, manners, and in telligence of the boys was surprising ; and this training was only the first step to the establish. ment of a drum and fife band, and even a rifle corps. It is easy to understand how beneficial the interest inspired by these employments must be to these unfortunate children, whose desolate position lays them peculiarly open to temptation. As Mr. Dutton, the originator of this movement, remarks, such boys would be especially fitted, if well trained, to enter the army or navy, and would have great advan tages in being able to • read, write, cypher, and make and mend their own clothes and shoes. The system generally followed, of apprenticing them in the immediate neighbourhood, has many drawbacks. Their friends and relatives are often living near and among the worst charac ters in the parish; they drag the boy to their own level, or at least effectually hinder him from rising in the world. Miss Twining, the able and benevolent secretary to the Workhouse Visiting Society, gives us the results of her experience and observation of the schools for pauper girls, in an answer to ,the questions of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the state of popular education in England. The evils attending the association of young girls with the disreputable fe:nales so common in work houses are incalculable, and it is a matter of sur prise that men of common feeling, much less of Christian principle, should tolerate such a state of things. We do not wonder that one of the guar dians of a workhouse declared that he often gave out-door relief, contrary to the rules, to families where the women were decent and respectable, rather than expose them to such a moral atmo. sphere. In one Union, where the children are taught in the national school until they are sixteen, and after that enter the adult ward for women, the chaplain states that in one week their whole manner and appearance changes for the worse. The masters and mistresses of unions will rarely, it is said, give evidence on this subject for fear of offending the guardians, who object to any change on account of the expense. A good schoolmistress was asked why she seemed so depressed about her work in a workhouse school, and answered that she felt she was training up the girls for a life of vice and depravity ; " one after another of them went out to carry out the lessons she had learnt from the adults, and she returned, like them, ruined and degraded, to be a life-long pauper." It is certainly somewhat inconsistent to appeal to public charity to assist in establishing penitentiaries and reformatories for women while the national institutions are thus training them for vice. In the boys' school the teachers also lament that they can learn no in dustrial training without mixing with the adults, and that consequently the last three months of "finishing" in the house completes their ruin. The economy of the guardians thus brings on the coun try the expense of maintaining paupers and convicts for life, to say nothing of the account that must be rendered for the charge of these young souls, thus driven into crime and degradation. Miss Twining justly asks— " With training schools wanted urgently for boys for the army and navy, for labour of all kinds in the colonies, where they would be gladly received at sixteen; and for girls as servants, equally at home and abroad, why should there be all this sad waste of material, and a race educated to fill our Workhouses ? for as long as our 'Workhouses are what they are, and seem to be intended to be by those who theorise about them, places of degradation, it must be fatal to bring up children in them, daily seeing, if not associa ting with, all those classes who make it their home. How naturally must the idea be planted in their minds that they may, and probably will, do the same. From being brought un there, and knowing no other home, they really get, as they say, to love the Workhouse walls,' and return there on the slightest pretence. Could Workhouses be con sidered, and in time become, institutions for the relief of that misfortune which must ever be found •more or less largely in the lower classes of any country like ours,—as hospitals for the sick who cannot be received into those which are voluntarily supported ; as penitentiaries for those whom no other asylums can or will admit ; as homes for the aged who have no relations to support them, and for the orphan children who must be provided for ; and if all these classes could be separated and really classified, there would not be the same need for the separation of the schools : but every one must know how all this differs from existing circumstances, and how fatal a school, therefore, the Workhouse is for children." Miss Twining also recommends the visits of lady inspectors to the girls' schools, and there is no doubt that under proper regulations this would be a very great advantage. The workhouse authorities are not, however, very fond of interference. We may suppose they think their arrangements so perfect that any alteration must be disastrous. It seems somewhat strange, seeing that the institutions are national, and the rates are certainly not paid only by the guardians or managers, that it is a mattt rof such difficulty for the public to obtain admission. We subjoin two letters from the " Correspondence," one of which is a striking commentary upon the other. A FIRST VISIT TO A WORKHOUSE. " I asked for a woman in the infirm ward, and was con ducted to one, scrupulously clean. But oh I the desolation of that place is something we must see to understand. The woman I inquired for was not there ; she was in a, ward where she could be only seen the first Tuesday in the month. On hearing this, I spoke to the nurse of the ward, and inquired If I might go In, for I saw several in bed, and all were without any occupation, and looking almost im becile. The nurse at once said no • the man's time was valuable (who accompanied me), andi I had batter follow him; with this she bowed me out. I asked to be allowed to go into any other ward, to speak to some of the inmates, but, was decidedly told I could not. I saw faces at that glance which I shall not easily forget. Why are visitors thus excluded ? Surely on writing their name and address they might have admission, when rates are demanded of us so largely. .You who have penetrated into these dreary j' fastnesses'—for I can call them nothing less—can tell what I feel on seeing the interior of one for the first time. Oh I the dreary feeling of nothing to do, or think of I Do they do nothing ? I said. Do they always sit like that, ranged around the wal:s F Oh I no, they only read ; but I did not see a book; one woman sat at a window looking into a yard, and she had k paper in her hand. " D." ATTENDANTS 1N WORKHOUSE HOSPITALS. "Longford Workhouse, April 3, 1861. " Gentlemen —I am again reluctantly obliged to bring under your notice the serious want of intelligent, trust worthy hospital attendants.. It is not to be expected that worn out, feeble old men and women, or young, ignorant, irresponsible boys and girls will be willing and able to watch fully, and tenderly care and mind, violent idiots and helpless sick persons ; besides, some are so unscrupulous as to defraud the patients of their food. On last Thursday the matron came to me to complain of a female attendant whom she detected down the house trafficking hospital diet. I at once, probably for the tenth time, crossed this person off the books of the hospital; and, in general, the majority of the attendants are little better. I am obliged to go some what into detail in consequence of the bed-ridden old man, whose case I have on a former occasion brought under your notice, being still without attendance for the night, the more especially as some time since a poor child was literally burnt to death by a boy aged 15 or 16, who was as ward attendant, because the child said he would complain to me that the boy had taken his food. I reported the case, and there was an inquest on the remains of the child, and the boy was committed to gaol. When the trial came on, Judge Monahan, who pre sided, declared that though tbe boy was bad, he who placed him in such a situation was worse (though perhaps, at present, better attendants were not to be had in the house). Now the poor old man may some day or night be deprived of life by rough usage or neglect, and then inquest and trial might follow. I have power to order, when I consider it necessary, wine or spirits to any extent ; yet careful, trnetviorthy attendants i whieli I deem wore ossentiat than wine or medicine, I am repeatedly, though reluctantly, compelled to complain of not being provided for the sick and lunatic.—l am, gentlemen, yours very obediently, " S. Nicom,s, M.D. " To the Guardians of the Longford -Union." We would direct the attention of all who are interested in the rescue of young workhouse girls from the evils referred to above, to the Indus trial Home for young women recently established in New Ormond-street, under the superintendence of Miss Twining, for training girls for service at home and in the colonies. A laundry is established in connection with the home, and heads of families will do well to afford encouragement to so excellent an undertaking by supplying this remunerative em ployment. Full particulars of the institution may be obtained from the last number of this journal, and the prospectus is also given in the number be fore us. Beeton's Illuminated Family Bible. With Illustra tive Cartoons from Designs by Julius Schnorr and other eminent European Artists. The Illu minated Initials, Ornamental Headings, and Bor derings by Noel Humphreys. Engraved by N. H. Woods. Beeton. This elegant edition cannot be too highly recom mended, as it offers to the public some really supe rior designs and representations of sacred subjects. The figures are remarkably well done, and the exe cution of the various groups is excellent in several instances. There is no doubt that many readers will be delighted with the opportunity of studying the Scriptures in this illustrative edition, which, for taste and dexterity, has not often been equalled, especially when offered at so moderate a cost. The second number of the work will not be issued till October, but after that it will appear monthly till completed. The entire collection will be in twenty four parts. It is to be confidently expected that this praiseworthy attempt will meet with the success that it so eminently merits, and that there will be numerous subscribers to it after this first number has been disseminated throughout the country. Colburn's New ,Monthly Magazine. A lengthened paper on American affairs opens this number, and considers the question chiefly in regard to Virginia, The story of " East Lynne" is con tinued, and as it has reached the twentieth part, as Sir Francis is convicted of the murder, little William dies, and Lady Isabel is discovered by Joyce, we presume the story approaches its com pletion, The tale of " Granville de Vigne" is also proceeded with, though the instalment is singularly uneventful. There is yet another story called, " Why is she an Old Maid ?" by Mrs. Bushby, which terminates this month. A paper on " Duel ling in Olden Times " gives some anecdotes of that absurd practice which, thanks to the greater amount of common sense, if not of higher principle pos sessed by modern times, has fallen into desuetude. Sir Nathaniel dedicates the forty - second number of his " Notes on Note-Worthies " the famous German Emperor, Frederick Barbarossa, the re-appearance of whose red beard is still anxiously looked for by the be lievers in the old traditions of the Fatherland. E. P. Rowsell gives us a paper on card houses, contain ing some reflections on the chances and changes of this mortal life. An article on "Public Metropolitan Improvements" contains some interesting matter, and some severe reflections on our national want of architectural taste and talent. The veteran, Cyrus Redding, contributes some verses on our recent celestial visitor; and there is also a graceful and musical Serenade by W. C. Kent. The Cornhill Magazine. Philip's adventures are this month of a some what happier character. The loveable little Char lotte Baynes has now his heart, and a playful battle takes place between Mr. and Mrs. Pendennis in consequence. Arthur preaching prudence, while Laura, with indignation, takes the part of the young lovers, whose worldly prospects are certainly not very brilliant at present. The frontispiece il lustrates the closing scene of Charlotte's visit at Boulogne. She has taken leave of her friend Laura, and is going home the night before her departure for Paris. It is a lovely evening, and Arthur Pen dennis, unconsciously acting the part of Marplot, offers to escort her to the Tantilleries. "Don't go out on such a dreadful night," cries Laura, " you'll catch cold !" and while the astonished Arthur is expatiating on the beauty of the weather, Charlotte has tripped away to be guided home by Philip Firmin. Philip pursuing his love literally, as Mr. Thackeray says, summa diligentia, accompanying the party to Paris, where he encounters Lord Ring wood, who is charmed by the young man's brusque inaependence, accustomed as his lordship is to con stant servility and adulation. There is an excel lent article on " Burlesques," beginning with Aris tophanes, and concluding with the burlesque writers of the present day, some of whom receive very due condemnation. " Punning upon words merely," ob serves the writer, " is a poor substitute for true wit and humour." Half of the puns are lost upon the audience owing to their obscurity, and the rapidity with which they follow upon each other's heels. And p yen when thoy are .6 tplzon,” tbo cloiisht thvy 6 1,-. is simply of the kind which is afforded by a Chinese juggler. They are ingenious, and that is all. "The struggles of Bro wn, Jones, and Robinson" is an article very unworthy a place in the Cornhill Magazine. " At Westminster," on the contrary, is a capital sketch of a trial scene, illustrated by some very ex cellent woodcuts of "the plaintiff," "the defen dant," " the jury," "the judge," "the counsel," and "the attorneys," which last sketch in particular is admirable. "Agnes of Sorrento," Mrs. Beecher Stowe's new story, contains this month an interesting description of ‘• the Artist Monk," the uncle of Agnes. Alluding to the love of art and the ceremonial observances of the Church, which Agnes so devoutly followed, Mrs. Stowe remarks, " In those ages when the Christian preacher was utterly destitute of all such help as the press now gives in keeping under the eye of converts the great inspiring truths of reli gion, it was one of the first offices of the saint, whose preaching stirred the heart of the people, to devise symbolic forms, signs and observances by which the mobile and fluctuating heart of the multitude might crystallise into habits of devout remem brance." " Roundaboxt Papers" this month treats of "Ogres" appearing by a curious coincidence almost simultaneously with the photograph of Mr. Thackeray as a " Literary Gorilla !" Temple Bar Magazine. " The Seven Sons of Mammon " is continued. This number is not so interesting as the preceding, as it does not follow the fortunes of the most attrac tive in the story. " For Better, for Worse," is a Very well written tale. The style is superior to most magazine narratives, and the reader meets with some of those concealed miseries that so power fully affect the fortunes of many. Margaret, it is satisfactory to find, renews her engagement with Guy Vy vian, and the sad story seems to promise a brighter termination than was at first to be augured. " A Frugal Marriage" relates in a lively manner a most rash adventure that was made by a young couple ; it is not, however, very wise of the author to make all end so happily, as in real life there are few such lucky transformations as occurred at the conclusion. " Sermons in Stones" is one of those stories that there is no pleasure or profit in perusing, and that is on a subject that had better be letalone. " The Death Wish " is a most extravagant sketch, that may perhaps deligLt the admirers of the mystic, but that appears most unaccountable and incom prehensible to lovers of common sense. "Fires" is a paper that considers that important question, and suggests several remedial measures in the arrange ments of the insurance companies, &c. Certainly there have been so many and such extensive con flagrations recently that the subject ought to be treated as one of great importance. " Summer Days" is a very pleasing sketch. It is one of the most interesting of the contents, and may reeal to mind the past days of pleasure that they have spent in bright summer time. Some of the sketches are very quaintly done, and many readers will wish that they, too, could spend their summer days as is hero recorded. " Summer Days of Artist and Student Life in Germany, mornings passed in lounging from studio to studio ; afternoons in the blue vine-clad mountains or in thick pine forests. Summer days on blinding Swiss mountains, on ver dant bordered English lakes, on Mediterranean steamers, where one lies under the wetted awning in that happy state of lief and forgetfulness so grateful to the slave of the pen, under the shadow of the Pyramids, among nestling Rhine villages and ruined abbeys." Macmillan's Magazine. The first chapter upon " The Indian Civil Ser vice" is deserving of careful consideration ; the writer is evidently thoroughly acquainted with his complex subject. Ravenshoe is continued, and Mr. Kingsley has happily kept up the interest as the tale progresses, and will, we doubt not, maintain it to the end. Adelaide saves young Ravenshoe the mortification of breaking off their engagement in consequence of his misfortune by eloping with his quondani friend before the event; many of the pas sages are remarkably good. To the classical readers, or more properly classical critics of this magazine, the paper on Homer and his translator may prove interesting, and it is compi led with co nsidemble care, but the general reader will get tired of hav ing to refe r t o the lexicon for the proper interpre tation of many ex t r acts. The story of "B urnt Njal" is n o ti ce d at some length, and the characte r of the old Norse clans is sketched in the re v i Mr. Bu c kl e 's doctrine as to the Scotch and• history is continued , and a few a bort thuf4 articles on i t heir light subjects/ regarding gr an „ 1 nerN Aad other I antiquarian matters, concludes a number which, in spite of the loss of "To Brown," contains much readable matter. Bailey's Sporting Magazine. Colonel Towneley figures as the frontispiece this month, and a biography or sketch of his career on the turf is given. " Wild Life" is continued, but in charity we will say nothing about it ; it by no means coming up to the early chapters. " Sports of the Neilgherry Mountains" will interest all lovers of adventurous sport, and is written in an offhand free and easy style, which must command attention ; th e fi g ht b e t ween t h e - bi son and tiger is grand, and we could wish that the editor would furnish more such papers. Orley Far»a. Very little advance is made in the tale in this month's instalment, but new characters are intro duced. It would seem that Mr. Trollope wishes to complicate his story to the utmost verge of possibi lity, and to make it truly a Chancery suit. We have a description of four Christmas dinners and celebrations in four different spheres of society. and all given to the life. We may say of Orley Farm, with a good conscience, that the more we see of it the more we like it. MISCELLANEOUS MAGAZINES.

Newton's _London Journal contains a brief record of the life and labours of the late 111 r. William Newton, who died last month after a long and laborious life devoted to useful and honourable pursuits. ARREST OF COUNT CAVOUR'S CON- FESSOR. The last and most detailed account of the alleged arrest of Father Giacomo appears in the Roman correspondence of 30th July, published in the Florence Nazione of the 3d inst. It is to the fol lowing effect : " Father Giacomo was summoned last Tuesday to the presence of the Pope. lam able to inform you that the demeanour of Pius IX. was anything but paternal. The Papal Court is addicted to gossip, and those w}“ , aro aware thnt the Pope can neither do nor say anything that has not been first planned and agreed upon by Cardinal Antonelli and his clique, will not be surprised if the vanity of certain prelates is the occasion of transmitting to profane ears the secrets of the Vatican. I can tell you something more. Father Giacomo was sent for to Rome for the purpose of extracting from him a declaration to the effect that Count Cavour had recanted his opinions and abjured his policy respecting the temporal authority of the Pope. I don't know what you may think of this, but to me it appears neither more nor less than a divulging of the secrets of the Confessional. On this point Father Giacomo obstinately refused to gratify the wishes of the Papal Court. He was then enjoined to make a declaration that he had overstepped the limits of his sacred office in , receiving theconfession of Count Cavour at all with out having first insisted on his making a formal re tractation. But on this second point Father Gia como was just as obstinate as on the first. H e was then dismissed after a very rude fashion, and told that he must remain at the commands of the Rolf Inquisition. He returned to the convent of Araccelh. but the same evening he received an order to take up his quarters in the convent of San Francesco Ripa. The following day he underwent his first examination by one of the Inquisitors of the Holy Office. What will be the fate of this friar I ca nnot tell. It is possible that, with the political wind now blowing at Rome, Cardinal Antonelli will not be able to serve him out for the crime of following the dictates of his conscience, though, if I must speak the ho nes t t ru th, I s h ou ld not like to be 11 Father Giacomo's shoes ; too many facts have prove''', that the cardi na l an d hi s assoc i ates have a logic ait their own, which takes into no account prudential considerations o r argumen t s o f any kind—the logic of unmitigated spite and spleen. The above paragraph from the Nazione contains , we repeat, the latest intelligence, as well as the fullest furnished by the Italian papers on this sub ject. It is important to bear this in mind, because four days previously a report to the same effect had been circulated at Turin, and had called forth aeon tradiction from the semi-official organ of the Govern ment, the opinione. The notice first appeared in the Pungolo, and created great excitement amongst all classes, especially amongst the lower orders of Turin. The people of Turin, who during the last days of Count Cavour's life were quite determined to handle Father Giacomo very roughly if he refused to administer th e sacrament to the dying sta t e sman naturally feel a stro ng sympat h y f or his p re ve nt p i n o d s g t i n e a n n , t a l n y d d even n te d h I dinals intend d o i ng w ith hi m at R ome ?" w W 'o h m a e t n th of es t e h v e il l l o a w in e s r report, runs th us : The article fr om th e O p i n i one , con tradicting the the Angels, arrived at Rome on th e 24th J u ly, and was re ceived on the of °r d c e a r r s - Father Giacomo, the administrat or of the parish of the Bl esse d Vi rg i n of following day by the Pope. " There is no lack of newspaper correspondence, announcing that the Pope required Father Gia como b e event of his ref usa l, w i t h r and threatened him,int Office. the rigours of the Holy to give to the world a ret actation of Count C avou r, , g These reports foundation as the pret en d e d d i alogue b e t w een Count Cavour and h are simply romances, tesam ee and Father have te Giacomo—a dialogue which only F at h er Gia como could have repeated, b u t w hi c h he ce rtainly did not repeat, consideri ng i n what condi tion Count Cavour was at the moment o f t h e con fessor's reaching his bedside. We have reason to believe that all the details respecting the last moments of Count Cavour are sufficiently known at Rome, and that the know ledge of these details would suffice to prevent any one from dreaming o f d eman di ng a re t rac tation which neither has been, nor, under the circum stances of the case, could be made." The abyve contradiction has not prevented the Opinione Nationale of Monday, five days later than the day on which the eon tradietien was published in the Opi n i one, f rom d ec l ar i ng th a t its latest notices received from Rome all concur in confirm ing the intelligence of Father Giacomo's arrest.
