4 4 ? _`l=l 41, „Vol -.0 1 Z.7l,lrik 9 %S. 437, r I kkei*'t THE SUN. LONDON, THURSDAY, MAY 9, 1861. Were Mr. ROEBUCK found in his own house, dead and lying in his own blood, no one would sus pect the most inveterate Tery Premier, England could furnish, of complicity in the deed, much less of being its prompter. The SOVEREIGN would never be mentioned in connection with it, unless as the grand avenger of the wronged. There is some thing, in times of suspicion, in undoubted character. This is painfully illustrated just now the other way. A frightful murder has been committed in Hungary. Count TELEKI, whom the Saxon Government handed over to Austria. the leader of the advanced liberals, a magnate who was entitled to sit in the Upper Chamber, but who preferred to accept a popular election for the Lower House—is found murdered in his own house. It seemed to be hardly credited at first ; the melancholy news circulated about the city, but it was confirmed at yesterday's sitting of the Lower House by the President M. GHYCZY. We are told that the ?Louse raised a cry of despair, and that several ladies in the galleries were carried away fainting. M. DEAK, the Venerable Minister of Justice in 1848, a man of as much moderation as firmness, " in a voice stifled by emotion," proposed to adjourn the sittings of the House till the follow ing Monday—doubtless to give time for inquiry. It is not to be wondered at that the city of Pesth is much excited, for t . .e Count was held in universal esteem by all parties. What does it mean ? What does it portend ?—is the universal inquiry. People are not only shocked, but alarmed. There is no denying the fact that not only in Pestb, but wherever the telegram comes from which we publish this day, the question will be asked, "Was this an ordinary murder or suicide?" It may be so. The report that it was suicide has been put in circulation, but is not believed. Why not ? There is but one answer. The Hapsburgs and their Jesuit advisers of the day may be as in nocent as we are of the murder, if murder it be, or it may be suicide; but the Hapsburg character is one which makes suspicion of the Imperial family the most natural. The family, we say, for there is one female member of it as well as male members, and favourite advisers, on whom suspicion would rest as naturally as on any. What a melan choly thing that a House should reign over the country which the old school of English Statesmen are disposed to pet and dandle as a useful ally to England—of whom this horrid suspicion is not out of place. The dynasty which could be guilty of the horrid atrccity of setting the Gailician pea sants to murder their nobles and reward them for doing it, is not wronged by being suspected of the murder of Count TELEKI. Yet this is the house to which our Court, our Prime Minister, and our Foreign Secretary cling ; the House' whom they seek to help by sending them to our law courts, instead of repelling them as they deserve. We may reason to show that the suspicion is an improbable one ; but what a state of things when considerations of expediency and policy must be adduced to make it likely that a Sovereign, his family and advisers, are not guilty, directly or indirectly, of a dark deed of assassination. It may be said that it was not for the interest of the monarch just now, and while he was promulgating his constitutional schemes, to commit a deed, or incur the suspicion of committing one, which would make all the assemblies distrust him. But who can answer for the workings of HAPSBURG minds. Their whole history and practice has made them feel so much more at home in relying on craft and cruelty, that even if for a short time they had really supposed liberality and frankness best for their interests, a lapse into their hereditary moral lunacy, and a resort to cunning and the dagger, was not only possible, but likely at any moment. It might appear, to this " judicially blinded" race, that for all the members of the Diets to meet and debate under the impression that their lives were not secure in their own houses, if their opinions and speeches thwarted those of the EMPEROR, would be the shortest course to convert the Diets into tools of the Government. A reign of secret terror, through the forms of liberty, might seem to the HAPSBURGS and Jesuits the surest way to success ; and it might well be that only one or two were admitted to the secret counsels of the first conspira tor. Whatever the truth of the case turns out to be it will not turn aside the force of ahte. remarks. Be the detestable dynasty as innocent as it may,,, this particular case, the bare fact that all Europe will feel it not unnatural to suspect the worst of it, is enough. If they are innocent it will yet remain true that they did in Gallicia even darker and more atrocious deeds than this. It will also be true that they were guilty of treachery quite as bad in Hungary itself. How can we wonder at any suspicion amongst a people, whom the HAPS- BunGs were paying the savage Sellachich to attack, while yet unprepared, from Croatia, at the same time as they were denouncing him as a traitor to blind the Hungarians. We could readily believe that such a race could even plot, by the murder of the Count, to creatnn insurrection - in Hungary and thus to find a shameless pretext for relieving itself of all its difficulties in the blood of the people. When we penned the few remarks of yesterday on the conduct of Prussia in the affair of Captain MACDONALD, the note of Baron SCLEINITZ had not been published. So far as his expression of the re gret of the Prussian Government goes, we are ready to accept it ; but it is regret that an unplea sant affair should have occurred, not that its officials and despotic laws had been the occasion of it. The Count terms the reproaches of the Prussian Govern ment and laws by Lord P4LMERSTON " ground less." We may excuse the Minister of Prussia for writing thus, officially ; but it is impossible to doubt that like GALILEO after having written what his position exacted from him, he turned round to his Secretary and observed, that the reproaches, however, were but too well grounded. He does not deny that the Government lawyer was per mitted to revile the English people ; that the Cap tain was treated as no human being merely accused of a most trivial delinquency, of which too he was substantially innocent, ought to be treated by any laws of any country ; he does not deny that the Englishmen at Bonn could be convicted for merely protesting, in really moderate terms against the language of a public reviler of their country ; and that they escaped punishment. only through the incidental circumstance of an amnesty; all these things are undeniable. He is only troubled that Lord PALMERSTON should cha racterise Prussian laws and Prussian administration as they deserve, where the report of what he said will be read and believed all over the world. It is indeed time for Prussia to mend her ways. It seems, from letters which the MACDONALD af fair has elicited, that the English traveller finds Prussia a very nest of rude bearish officials, who treat travellers as intrudeas rather than guests I and that too at a time when France is taking a course the very reverse. Englishmen must, we presume, go there sometimes, but after all they have heard, they will probably select, when travel- , ling for amusement or relaxation, routes and coun tries where their presence is welcome. Perhaps we may look for amendment, however, from the complaints of Prussian innkeepers, since they, we are told, Charge an Englishman 24 groschen for his dinner, when a German pays but 17 or 20. For once a bill of some importance has been read a second time on a Wednesday. True r in deed, to the traditions of the day, the house re jected or got rid of two, and of a third by the now popular practice of " talking out ;" but the one which found mercy was not merely a humane bill, but an enabling bill for landlords, and hence though it is said to require many amendments in committee, these were not made a reason for re jecting the " Labourers Cottages Bill," proposed for a second reading by Sir L. PALK. The hon. member had no difficulty in collecting some shocking stories of demoralisation consequent on over-crowding of the sleeping apartments of the poor ; he adduced'ample proof that the evils which Lord SHAFTESBURY has so exerted himself to remedy were by no means confined to great cities. And all who have lived in the country and taken the least interest in relieving the wants of the poor, must be well aware that their children when approaching, and after having reached, maturity are exposed to habits which must destroy all feeling of modesty, and which we should shudder to think of in our our homes. Nor should it be forgotten that a room may be close and unhealthy as well in the country as in the town ; overcrowding in a rus tic thatched cottage with roses and creepers at its door, is as deadly a foe to health as it is in the cen tre of London. And if the day compensates in a measure for the night, it is only in a small mea sure. The night is indeed the time when the greater injury is sustained from a close atmosphere; one which has served again and again the purposes of respiration. If, therefore, Lord RAYNHAM'S Bill for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals had to be withdrawn, we must be thankful that a bill enabling landlords to be humane to animals of the class binzana was not rejected. It should be remembered, however, that the only difficulty which needs legislation in this case is that created by landlords themselves. But for the prac tice of entailing estates, each proprietor could im prove the estate as he pleased, not only in regard to draining, but in respect to building cottages or any other outlay upon it which he thought would in crease its value. It is needless, however, to enter now on the question of entails. They may be and are amongst the greatest remaining barriers to agricul tural improvement, but the pride of our aristocracy will long uphold the system. While it exists. however, the Government cannot do better than give to the tenant for life the utmost possible liberty in regard to undoubted permanent improvements. Its object in respect to these should be to place him as much as possible in the position of a pro prietor in fee simple. The heir cannot be wronged by bearing his portion of a charge which brings him a handsome increase of rental, or which sub stantially improves the estate and increases its market value. Lord ELGIN is now receiving the thanks of his fellow-countrymen. These are among his most cherished consolations. They compensate him, these cordial recognitions of great duties done, for all the hardships endured by him during his successive expeditions. They are sweeter to the heart of a patriot than all the courtly rewards in the gift of the SOVEREIGN. Those will doubtless follow in due time ; but in the meanwhile Lord ELGIN is receiving from all ranks and classes of his fellow subjects the evidences of their unaffected apprecia tion of his skill, and courage, and perfect self-abne gation as a diplomatist, as the representative at the other extremity of tke globe of our Gracious QUE EN , as the responsible agent and emissary of her MAJESTY'S Government. Scarcely had he landed upon the shores of his native land once more wh en the peopl e o f D over , h ea d e d b y their Chief Magistrate,Corporation, were there at tothehead accord him th mw e Local elcome homewards. Hardly had he arrived . . n ht his an enthu siasm ancestral haunts when he was hailed withaffectionate by the inhabitants of D antermline. Parlia ment had, as a matter of course, anticip a t e d hi s coming back by the ardent avowal of its profound sense of the value of his latest achievements. And so likewise, for that matter, had all sections of English Journalism. Among the most popular of our public men has now for a long while been recognised th.) Right Hon. the Earl of ELGIN Ind KINCARDINE. But a few days have recently elapsed since the noble lord W2S complimented in a very signal manner at a gathering of some of the foremost men of our age in all departments, great statesmen, administrat o rs, diplomatists, authors, painter s , l awyers, and so forth. being here made, of course, to the annual banquet g iven to her MAJESTY'S Ministers, and to other distinguished celebrities, bythe Royal Academicians- There—at that last Royal Academy BanquA—in will be remembered that the President, Sir cluß7,Es EASTLAKE at an early hour of the evening went out of his usual track in proposing toasts to his neap for their acceptance—giving them in the name of Lord ELGIN one of a purely exceptional character. The latter was there at the hospitaM e board of the Royal Academy in no public capacity whatever. His name, in point of fact, could not strictly be coupled with any particular department. He was no longer one of her MAJESTY'S Ministers as he had been at the period of his last departure from these shores : when—it will be borne in recollection—he went forth in the direc tion of China still retaining his ministerial posi tion conditionally as her MAJESTY'S Postmaster- General. His Grace the Duke of ARGYLL doing duty in that capacity for his noble colleague, until such time as it become apparent that the Earl of ELGIN must really hasten onwards to his remote destination—when Lord STANLEY of Alderley be came Lord ELGIN'S successor at St. Martin's-le- Grand. The noble earl moreover was there, at the Royal Academy Banquet, not any longer as His Excellency Her Britannic MAJESTY'S representative. He sat at the board presided over by Sir CHARLES ' EASTLAKE, simply in his own individual character. Yet was his name, when given forth from the chair as " a toast" early in the evening, greeted with en thusiasm—with cordial and earnest enthusiasm—by the distinguished company by whom he was then surrounded. It was recognised, that now doubly historic name, as that of a man who had more than once, and upon each occasion, in a very singular and signal manner done good service to the Crown and to the country—not merely by presiding, durin g several consecutive years, with remarkable ability over one of the greatest of our Fifty Colonies, namely, Canada ; but who had more recently upon two memorable occasions brought to a happy close a war raging at the opposite extremity of this hemi sphere between England and the most populous empire upon the surface of the globe, that vast country of China, peopled by no less than 400,000,000 inhabitants. And yesterday, after all these recognitions of his good deeds vouchsafed, to the Earl of ELGIN since his return homewards, yesterday, to complete all, the noble lord was entertained at a magnificent banquet, given in his honour by the Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR of London in his capacity as the chief magistrate of our great metropolitan corporation. In expressing his acknowledgments to the assembled company last evening at the Mansion-house, Lord ELGIN happily disclaimed on his own part, in so doing, any intention whatever of vindicating his recently successful policy in the Far East, in the limited space of time that can be suffered to elapse between two glasses of wine at a convivial assemblage. Besides, it so happens in his instance, that any such attempt at cramming an Iliad into a nutshell, would have proved to every one present a matter of entire supererogation. The story of the late Chinese war is, in all its varied details, "familiar in our mouths as household words." It requires no further repetition. It is known in timately. And—what is better still—it is fully and cordially appreciated. Not an Englishman, worthy of the name, but recognises clearly the honour due to the diplomatist who had there, in China, at Pekin, the conduct, on the part of England, in con junction with Baron GRos, on the part of France, of those momentous and ever-memorable negotia tions. The capture of the Chinese capital, or, at any rate, the triumphal entry into it of Englishmen and Frenchmen beaded by their respective ambassadors, long after the ignominious flight of the Emperor HIEN-TUNG into Tartary : that renowned and unprecedented entrance of the allies, but particularly of the allied ambassadors, the diplomatic representatives of the allied French and English Sovereigns—is a fact, a historical fact not one atom more completely known, or more thoroughly appreciated, than the other and far greater fact that there immediately sprang out of it, that other fact that, thanks to Lord ELGIN and Baron GROS, terms of peace were dictated by England and France—at Pekin—to the haughty, and hitherto at once insolent and inaccessible Chinese Government) Supposing Lord ELGIN were now to abandon public life altogether and to retire into the seclusion of home tranquillity, he has already inscribed his name and fame indelibly upon the national annals, he has earned for himself a conspicuous and most honourable niche iu the British Walhalla. But—it is a satisfaction in his regard to bear in particular remem brance the circumstance that—having done all this, having completed these numerous remarkable achievements—he is still in the prime of his life, he is still in the full vigour of his maturity. Many years we may still hope are yet reserved for him, and through him for his country—that is to say, many years during which he may win fresh laurels for the enhancement of his already distinguished reputation, and during which either at home or abroad the British Empire, he has already served so well and so frequently may profit by his rare gifts both as a diplomatist and as an administrator. THE COUNTESS OF DERBY'S ASSEMBLY.—The Countess of Derby gave her second reception last night at the family mansion in St. James's-square. A numerous and brilliant company graced her ladyship's saloons by their presence. Mr. Cobden has arrived in Paris, and alighted at the Hotel Meurice. TAXING MASTER OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.— The office of Taxing Master to the House of Commons has been conferred on Mr. Charles Frere, Examiner for Stand ing Orders to the two Houses of Parliament. The death has been announced of Mr. James Malcolmson, one of the senior directors of the Bank of England, and head of the great Bombay firm of Forbes, Forbes, and Co. DEATH OF MRS. AGNES BAILLIE.—The an nouncement of a recent death has caused some sensation in society. Mrs. Agnes Baillie, the sister of Joanna and Dr. Baillie, is dead at the age of 100. A letter of Mrs. Bar bauld, dated in 1800, tells of the outburst of Joanna's fame, a year or two after the anonymous publication of her "Plays on the Passions :"—" a young lady of Hampstead who came to Mrs. Barbauld's meeting with as innocent a face as if she had never written a line." At the time of the Treaty of Ghent, Mr. Clay, the American commis sioner, was advised to call in Dr. Baillie, as a physician of long-established fame. A quarter of a century since Joanna and Agnes had settled their affairs precisely alike, and ar ranged everything, each for the other, wondering how the survivor could live alone. They lived on together till long past 80; yet Agnes has been the solitary survivor of her family for so many years that it was a relief—though still a reluctant one—to hear that she was gone. With these women—simple. sensible, amiable, and gay in temper, and of admirable cultivation, apart from Joanna's genius—a period of our literature seems to close ; and we are all weak enough to sigh at times o'ver what is inevitable.—Once a Week. THE GREAT NORTHERN HOSPITAL.—The fifth anniversary festival of this institution was celebrated yes terday at the Albion Tavern—the Right Hon. the Lord Chelmsford in the chair. After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts, that of the evening was given, when his lordship made an eloquent appeal in aid of the funds of the hospital, which, in consequence of the great number of patients re sorting to it for treatment, had not only been quite ex hausted, but a debt of £1,300 had accumulated. It was to relieve the valuable institution of this incubus that he soli cited aid from the guests. The appeal of the chairman was responded to by the visitors subscribing upwards of £350. GREAT PALL OF SNOW IN THE WEST OF ENG LAND.—FRomE, Wednesday. —This morning we expe • ; rienced the very extraordinary circumstance of a heavy snow storm in May. From five o'clock till noon the fall was continuous and steady, and in some parts of the country quite two feet of snow covered the ground. A rapid thaw set in in the afternoon and little trace of winter is now re maining. The oldest inhabitants speak of a similar visita tion some half a century since, but very few of the present generation remember it. The weather this evening is cold —wind S.W.

The Princess's is still thrice every week crowded with an enthusiastic audience hanging breathlessly upon every syllable that falls from the lip, upon every look that gleams from the eye, upon .every emotion that plays over the mobile features of this incomparable Artist. M. Fechter, as Hamlet, is not only at this moment the " sight" of London, it is one of its most exquisite and elevating sensations. Those who have not witnessed this extraordinary performance, those who have only read of it, or who have seen the photographic representations of the Great Actor as he appears in the character, cannot form to themselves even the most glimmer ing notion of the effect produced upon the spectator by it, as a manifestation, not so much of consum mate Art as of pure and unsophisticated Genius. The character of Hamlet has now for the better part of three hundred years been aninexplicable enigma, an inscrutable mystery to all the Shaksperian critics who have descanted upon that dramatic, intellectual, metaphysical Marvel in terms of be wildered admiration. Beholding M. Fechter's impersonation of Hamlet—everything enigmatical, everything that before might have appeared mys tically incomprehensible and incoherent and at times even absolutely inconsistent in the character, fades out entirely, melts away altogether. The character, the temperament, the whole wondrous idiocyncracy of the Danish Prince come out at last clearly and vividly before our recognition—Hamlet, as imper sonated by Mr. Fechter, is enshrined for ever in our memory as " one entire and perfect chryso lite !" And how he looks it ! At his first entrance upon the stage you are disappointed. As he sits there moodily below the royal dais, with his head and his glance bent downwards, com muning with himself dolefully over the memory of his dead father—you hardly think him worthy of the ideal Hamlet. Forgetting, perhaps, for the moment, that Hamlet is thirty, you fancy hg lacks adolescence and even comeliness. But—wait till he rises, till his glance is raised, till he speaks ! Wait till you see the cloud and sunshine of profound and varying emotions flitting over that pale face—down either side of which streams down that blonde yellow hair that flows luxuriantly upon his shoul ders ! Wait till you hear the vibrations of that dulcet voice, thrilling so often and so tenderly with the tears in it—Wait! Through all the five acts you follow his every movement (and his movements are so full of grace !), his every glance (and at moments his countenance appears so strikingly handsome!) his every tone (and they are so perpetual in their mutation, and so often and so deliciously vibrant with pathetic tenderness fl—summoning him before the drop scene at the close of each act, and particu larly before the green curtain, at the close of the fifth, to receive the tined of public applause, and (it is so, we are satisfied, with each one of the public) of almost personal gratitude—in crashing rounds of acclam a tions. We do not in writing thus in any way exa g g erate. The impersonation of Hamlet by M. Pechter is exquisitely noble and beautiful—it is a histrionic masterpiece. We can not often see him for our tears. We long to grasp that hand that never moves without revealing some new grace of gesticulation. The imagination is haunted afterwards on leaving the theatre by those thrilling accents and that alternately beaming and mournful ccilantenance. And the general admiration excited by Mr. Fechter's Hamlet is in no way diminished, we may be quite sure of this—it is incalculably enhanced and intensified by the recollection that the Great Actor who has now come over to London, in order to show to delighted crowds of Englishmen how Shakspere ought to be acted, and how among ' all the characters of Shakspere that marvellous • tragic part of Hamlet ought to be delineated—is a Frenchman! The impersonation of Hamlet by M. Fechter, when viewed in the light of that astonish ing recollection, rises to the dignity of a rare Intel , lectual achievement. But it is far more than that —it is immeasureably more than a mere source of wonderment as a psychological phenomenon. There is a living soul breathed into this remarkable creation —that vitalising spirit which is the one essential endowment of every really Great Actor—the living soul of pure and nwpiestionable - genius. Associated with Mr. Pechter in the performance, week after week (upon every Monday, Wednesday, and Fri day) at the Princess's, of this Tragedy of Tragedies, we ought to mention the name, if only en passant, of Mr. Hermann Vezin, as an ele gant and impassioned Laertes, noting in re ference to the Claudius of Mr. Ryder that it is— as it is almost always with Mr. Ryder—at once painstaking and picturesque. But M. Fechter's Hamlet, like the sun at noonday, outshines all the stars by its dominating brilliancy. It is nothing less, we repeat, than an achievement, and we marvel no longer when we have once gazed upon it through our tears, we marvel no longer that, it produces so profound a sensation upon every even= ing of its performance.

DISEASE IN GROUSE.—A Strathspey correspon dent of the Banffshire Journal, having had occasion lately to traverse a porti•Jn of the moor in Upper Strathspey, ob served several birds in apparently good condition dead, and on making inquiry as to the probable cause of the disease he ascertained the general impression to be that the stunted heather with the drought, which retards the growth of the young heath, causes the birds to drink more than an ordi nary quantity of water, which creates general purging, and occasions almost instant death. There is no great prospect of a g poi breeding season. THE RESULTS OF THE MORRILL TARIFF.—The ri diculously obstructive effects of the Morrill Tariff are greatly complained of, and will have a most disastrous effect on the trade between Portland and Canada. The Toronto Leader points out "that, under its provisions, all goods passing through the United States have to be examined by the opening of the packages —a process that causes endless delay and annoyance. There will soon be a million dollars worth of goods at Portland, many of which cannot be re moved for weeks owing to the delay caused 1 . y the examina tion. Fortunately the great bulk of the spring goods had arrived in Canada before the Morrill Tariff went into opera tion, on the Ist of April, for those that came after will be too late in arriving. If we are at sny time liable to such an annoyance as this, everybody will soon become convinced of the necessity of having a winter port of our own. The Halifax and Quebec Railroad movement comes opportunely. The Portland papers complain still more loudly, and if their statements are well founded, of which there is little doubt, the Portland branch of the Grand Trunk is useless. Here is a conclusive argument in favour of a route through British territory, which may be independent of the eccentricities of a Republican and Protectionist Government.--Canadian :Yews. It is apprehended that after the Ist of July next there will be only a monthly, instead of a fortnightly, mail t) China, notice having been given by the Govern ment that the subsidy for the extra mail, which his been in operation since 1837, will then no longer be continued. The Submarine Telegraph Company have notified that, in addition to the usual rout° to Marseilles, Trieste, and Malti to catch the outward mails to India, China, Aus tralia, Egypt, &c., telegrams can be sent to Corfu and Smyrna, as steamers leave the former place direct for Alex andria the 13th and 29th of every month, and from the latter place every alternate Sunday in themonth, commene • ing from the 12th inst. CHINA.—The Russian j our nals, which receive early intelligence from Chi na through Siberia, announce that the Mantchou army, in garrison at Pekin, has re volted ; the motive is said to be the delay on, the part of the state in the payment of the troops, ENT N 14] ‘ l / S. CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. (RECEIVED BY THE NORTH BRITON, 'VIA LON DONDERRY.) NEW YORK, APRIL 26, P.M. Four New York regiments have arrived at Wash ington. The capital is supposed to be strong enough to resist any attack. The route from Annapolis to Washington is kept open by Federal troops, The Baltimore railroad communication is still interrupted. Fort Smith, in Arkansas, with property of the estimated value of 800,000 dols., has been taken by the State troops. The Confederate flag has been hoisted on the fort. The Governor of New York has made a call for 21 additional regiments. The public buildings in Washington have been barricaded. The Governor of Delaware has responded to President Lincoln's call for troops. (LATEST BY TELEGRAPH TO PORTLAND.) NEW YORK, APRIL 27. The steamships Fulton and Glasgow have sailed for Europe—the former with despatches for the British Government. The Federal Government is chartering all the available steamers for transports and gunboats. The steamer Kedar has been chartered. The Union sentiment in Maryland is arousing.

MURDER OF COUNT TELEKI. PESTH, MAY 8. In to-day's sitting of the Lower House, M. Ghyczy, the President, confirmed the mournful tidings which had circulated in this city, that Count Teleki had been found murdered in his resi dence. Tho house, on this announcement, raised a cry of despair, and several ladies in the galleries were car ried away fainting. M.

In to-day's sitting of the Corps Legislatif several members of the committee on the Treaty of Com merce complained of the manner in which the Go vernment was proceeding in reference to the duties on the exportation of rags and drills, as the duties established by the Franco-Belgian Treaty of Com merce did away with the amendments proposed by the committee. Several Government bills were laid on the table, one of which was for opening a credit of 45 million francs for great works of public utility, and another for issuing bonds, amounting to 104 million francs, repayable in thirty years.

L 17'ER.717. Vow: al the Dune, Count of Elsinore. 2 vols. Bentley, This is a very interesting narrative of the adven tures of a sina-lar man—it is told with spirit, and the reader cannot be otherwise than delighted with its stirring recital. Phis story has before appeared in the pages of the " Dublin University Magazine," hence it will be familiar to many, but these will no doubt be glad of an opportunity of renewing their acquaintance with its attractive sketches. One cannot help feeling interested in the character of Lars Vonved, and, indeed, he is not at all like the generality of outlaws, as there is nothing des perate or revengeful in his temper. If anything could have excused such a life as he led, it would have been the cruel persecutions to which he was subjected. There is not so much recorded here of the life at sea, as most of the incidents occurred on shore. The events of the second volume are most exciting, and the manner of Vonved's escape is very remarkable. He had been before imprisoned, but had contrived to elude the vigilance of his captors by various ingenious devices. On this occasion the united skill and strength of many were exerted to prevent any escape till the renowned outlaw should have expiated his crimes by a cruel death. When the fatal hour arrived, and the messengers of doom went to execute their fatal purpose, they found that a more merciful herald had preceded them, and that Lars Vonved was extended before them in the slumber that would not yield to their stern sum mons. The news spread like wildfire over the city, and the expectant crowd dispersed. The friends were permitted to remove the body, and it was uni versally supposed that the career of the melafactor was over. A different scene was being enacted on the great waters, where the departed hero had per formed such deeds of prowess, and ruled with so vereign sway. "Descend to the great cabin. What a scene is here. On the table upon a pile of bed ding lies the form of Lars Vonved, unchanged in appearance since the morning appointed for his execution. Dunraven looked up and caught the anxious eye of Bertel. They sighed with mournful significance." 'Tis invain to ponder o'er this dim parchment, muttered Bertel. Very vain ' re sponded Dunraven, ' and even could you discover the key to its impenetrable symbols—of what avail ? The countess" and he lowered his voice, and glanced furtively at Amelia, " has already told us what he said,—and he alone could read that fearful scroll.' Aye, but think you LieutenantDunraven,' gravely muttered Bertel, " that in the terrible agi tation she must then have experienced she may not have misunderstood or forgotten.' No, sir, my life on it, neither, he told her that this mysterious powder would, if taken as he intended to take it, according to the secret instructions on the parch ment, immediately after she had quitted his dun geon on her last visit, thrown him into a profound lethargy—a counterfeit of death, such as no man could possibly detect. This trance, this apparent total suspension of all sensation, was to last pre cisely forty•eight hours, and in that interval we were to obtain permission to remove his supposed corpse, and thus insure his ultimate safety. All has hitherto come to pass as he foresaw. See, is it not death's twin sister, and he motioned towards the rigid form of his beloved leader and friend. Ay, but is it not death indeed and not merely his dread semblance.' We have no right whatever to fear that, responded Dunraven in a tone which was not quite so confident as his words, little more than forty-seven hours have elapsed since he has been outwardly inanimate, and a strange sharp cry, piercing but not loud , broke fr om Amalie, and when they hurried to her side she was standing with arms extended and her face bent closely over the marble lineaments of her husband. They at once beheld the cause of her intense emotion. A gentle dew was breaking from the pores of Von ved's face and forehead ; his eyelashes quivered sliezhtly, yet very perceptibly ; the deadly pallor of his features had disappeared and given place to a faint roseate tint. He lives—life is returning. Minutes are hours now to the group around the reviving form of the outlaw. Dunraven drew down the sheet and chafed his breast. Mads Neil sen rubbed his feet and cherished them against his bosom, sobbing and ejaculating with savage vehe mence. Time flies ; and yet they all think time an eternity ! He lives ! Hush ! his limbs quiver ! His eyes are opening ! He is growing warm ! He moves his fingers ! He lifts his arm ! He is alive ! His eyes are open. He lives. He sees—he knows us ! His lips unclose ! He will soon speak. Saved ! He lives! And so it came to pass in the degree indicated by the ejaculations above quoted from the thousands that were uttered, that Lars Vonved recovered life and consciousness; and just when the forty eight hours expired he heaved a long deep sigh, gazed steadily around, and flung his arms aloft like a giant awaking from sleep. Nearly every man of his devoted crew by this time were thronging around him in the great cabin, and the sternest old sea-dog of them all wept like a nervous woman for unutter able joy and thankfulness. " Life ! I live ; I thank God Almighty I live !" Such were the first words uttered by the lips of " Vonved the Dane." The conclusion of this tale will doubtless take many by surprise, as instead of horrors all be comes bright and splendid in the new path opening before the recovered hero, and the last page leaves him reinstated in his honours and restored to his position. It recalls to the mind of the reader the scene in Scott's " Lady of the Lake," where the King presents the outlawed chieftain to his astonished courtiers, and exclaims— " Ask nought for Douglas, yester even His prince and he have much forgiven, And Bothwell's lord, henceforth we own, The friend and bulwark of our throne." Amalia, the wife of Vonved, displayed a spirit that was worthy of the illustrious race whose name she bore, and in the hour of peril she was a true heroine. An extraordinary sketch of summary retributive justice is given in the account of Mads Neilsen's vengeance on the betrayer. The wretch deserved his fate, for no one can ever sympathise with treachery, and Nealen's lingering death on the lonely coast might be a suitable termination to many such miscreants. Another striking scene is the end of a worse betrayer, for he belonged to Vonved's own crew. Jorgen Neilsen was the bro ther of the intrepid Mads, and it was a dreadful blow for that devoted follower to learn that his own relation bad betrayed his beloved chief. The doom for the traitor was to " walk the plank," in other words, to be consigned to a watery grave, on the instant of disccvery. The scene where Vonved's astonished and indignant followers doom their recreant comrade to his dread ful death is a very impressive one, and described with great ability. It is not often we meet with such vigorous delineation of character and such vivid illustrations of events as abound throughout this remarkable work. It seems to blend romance and reality together in a marvellous manner, and seldom is a more attractive hero found for the novelist to depict in glowing colours, or the reader to study with admiring delight, than the intrepid Rover of the Baltic, the descendant of the renowned race of the great Valdemar. Those who would peruse an entertaining narrative cannot do better than possess themselves of this stirring and striking romance. " Vonved the Dane" is superior to many of those nautical narratives that have been so much in vogue of late years, and its chief charm consists in its life and animation. The author enters eagerly into the spirit of all the eventful occurrences, and dwells con wnore on the peculiarities of the chief actors of the tale. The scenes oo board the vessels are graphically described, and are, moreover, replete with that energy and enthusiasm that is so espe cially and essentially to be desired in any transcrip tion of the actions of the bold and free. The men who trod the decks of the " Skildpadde" and the " Amalia" were of the stuff of which heroes are made, and no enemy would like to encounter such opponents, while the king whose navy comprised such defenders might reckon him self impervious against all attacks. This brilliant sketch of a Danish Romance may be confidently re commended to the notice of readers, and its strange and stirring recital will certainly and excite ir admiration. Java ; or, Row to Manage a Colony. By J. W. B. Money, Barrister-at-Law. 2 vols. Hurst and Blackeit. Very little is generally known in this country respecting the internal a dministration of the Dutch colony of Java, and that little is mostly prejudici a l to the Government of Holland. Tyranny in the i mpre ssions, and the idea of gathering rule and monop ol y in the commerce are the two prevailing any suggestions from its management with regard to our Indian Empire would probably be esteemed preposterous by our Indian legislators. Neverthe less the author of this work, after personal inspec tion, careful study, and consultation, not only of Dutch, but English, French, and German mer chants residing there, has arrived at very different conclusions. The administration of Java he con siders to be admirably adapted to the native cha racter, equitable in its principles, and bear ing the satisfactory testimony of general con tent and prosperous finances; and in many re spects he thinks we might pursue the same system with great advantage to our Indian Empire. The contrast between the state of the two colonies is somewhat startling. The following facts are worth the consideration of the practical financier : "The state of India in 18511 was too exceptional to afford a fair comparison, and I have, therefore, taker each coun tryas it stood in 1556-7, the last and most prosperous year of normal tranquillity in India before the rebellion. Java is as different from the rest of Netherlands India as our frvw, tll9 144tiVe states itz Ujucleotau, Indian territol The fair comparison, therefore, is between Java and :Madura on the one side, with 10,800,000 of population, yielding nearly the whole revenue of Netherlands InJi,t, and on the other side, the English territory in India, with 132 millions of population, yielding nearly the whole revenue of British India. The Indian area is 16 times larger than Java and Madura. The Indian population is 12 times that of Java and Madura. The Anglo-Indian revenue is only four times that of Netherlands India. The land tax per head in India is one-third heavier than in Java, and forms three-fifths instead of only one• tenth of the revenue. Revenue without taxation gives in Java, per head, 13 times as much as in India. The Java revenue per head is three times that of British India, with one-third less pressure on the people. Unproductive expenditure in India absorbs over two. thirds, instead of one-third of the revenues as in Java. One-fourth of the revenue in Java is employed in reproductive works, instead of only one. ninth as in India, giving a beneficial expenditure per head at least seven times greater. The whole Java expenditure is per head double that of India, and yet :eaves a yearly net surplus of one fourth of the revenue instead of a yearly deficit. On two heads only is the comparison apparently against Java. The home charges in Holland are heavier per head than the home charges in England, which is but natural with the smaller country. The former only come, however, to one-seventeenth of the Java revenue, while the latter absorb one. twelfth of the Indian receipts. The in terest on the debt in Java is three times as much per head as the interest on the Indian debt before-the mutiny. But the Dutch East Indian debt is not a proper charge on Netherlands India, and the interest on that debt, being a mere reduction of the Java surplus revenue paid to Holland ar tribute, makes the amount of the debt, principal and in terest, immaterial to either the rulers or people of Java." The discontent of our Indian subjects, notwith standing the disinterested principles of justice on which we endeavour to rule them, should also, he thinks, weigh in the balance. He attributes this, in a great measure, to our having applied the systems and theories of advanced civilisa tion to semi -barbarism, thereby suddenly pass ing over the gradual progress of five or six centuries. Our refusal to recognise the native prejudices of rank and caste he depre cates, thinking the interferenc e w ith th at w hi c h they hold so sacred to be premature and impolitic. He was the more disposed to institute comparisons between our East Indian possessions and Netherlands India, from the fact of having tra velled dii ect from the one to the other. He had resided for some years in Calcutta, and had been in the habit of inquiring into the native ideas, wishes, and grievances, while the discussion which our sys tem of government underwent at the time of the transfer had familiarised him with its principles. A trip being advised for health he quitted Calcutta in 1858 and visited Java, knowing at that time nothing of its government, and having no idea of studying it. Before leaving India he made in quiries and found that the English information on the subject of the Dutch East Indies was generally limited to Sir Stamford Railies's account, written in 1815. " The impression seemed to be that the pro duce of the island, beyond what was necessary for the consumption of the people, was still taken by Government under severe penalties, that such por tions of the spices as exceeded the demand were still destroyed by the Dutch to maintain a higher price for the remainder; that no trade with foreigners was allowed, and that the natives were oppressed by forced labour and other hardships and exactions." All these impressions he found, on per sonal acquaintance with the colony, to be mistaken, and it must be remembered that he consulted not only the Dutch authorities, but the English Consul long resident there, and the merchants of various nations resident in Batavia, among whom he found a singular coin cidence of opinion, both of praise and blame, regard ing the policy of the Government. The charge of secresy brought against the Dutch is altogether unfounded, as ample details and full particulars of the state of the colony are yearly published officially in Holland, and as the mother-country has the satis faction of receiving a yearly contribution of about £3,000,000 from the colony, the statement of the Colonial Arinister to the States-General is a matter of great interest, and much attention is paid to the internal welfare of the islands. The Home Govern ment has to present a full account of the agricul tural, commercial, industrial, and social statistics of the colony. Any idea of secresy was universally scouted by the inhabitants, and they remarked that they could not be expected to publish their documents in English, and consequently but few of us know any thing of their proceed iegs. Mr. Fraser, the resident British Consul, assured the writer soon after his arrival that how ever true the general English idea of the Dutch Colonial Government might be of the old Dutch East India's Company's system, it is perfectly false with regard to the present administration of Java and its dependencies. The complaints with regard to the treatment of foreigners, the refusal of all civilising tendencies to the native, the discourage ment of his education, and the actual prohibition of any attempt unconnected with Government to con vert him from his debasing creed, are all well founded, and mar the general character of the Government. The great feature of the present rule is the culture system, which was introduced by General Van Deu Brosch, who was Governor-Gene ral of the colony from 1830 to 1834, and converted it from a state of discontent and bankruptcy to its present flourishing condition. He made large ad vances to contractors on most favourable terms, on condition that they should build the mills and pro cure the necessary machinery for manufacture, undertaking to have a sufficient amount of the requisite raw material ready for them. The rent for the Crown lands, which occupy nine-tenths of the island, is paid by labour—one day in seven—and this system the author considers much the most profitable and easiest to enforce when dealing with Orientals. The tenants were ordered to plant one-fifth of their lands with the necessary crop according to the old Eastern custom, by right of which the landlord directs his tenants' crop. The natives' inveterate idleness was taken into ac count, and great advantages were given to those who carried out the plan successfully. The supe rintendents were, in every case European, of intel gence and education, and the result soon exceeded the hopes of all concerned. We have not space to give a full account of the working of the system, which continues with modifications up to the pre sent day, but must refer the reader to Mr. Money's interesting narrative. Some points in it will not please the English mind, but its striking success, and the satisfaction of the people show that the principles on which it is based are congenial to the Eastern character. It must be observed that the private trade of Java is unrestricted. With the exception of opium and salt, the Government mono polies, the growth and manufacture of all articles is free. The cottiers on the Crown lands are for bidden to sell their contract crops except to the contractors of the Government, which purchases them at a fixed price, and thus repays itself for its advances. The author writes; as fol lows respecting the exports and imports : " The disproportion in the value af imports and exports requires remark. Under ordinary circumstances, a country should no doubt receive back, either in goods or money, the value of what it senls out, whereas Java only receives back in goods and money about two-thirds of that amount. The other one-third is avowedly tribute to Hollandfpaid by Java, as explained in the preceding chapter on finance. While admitting the tribute, the D u t c h asser t t h a t i n no ot h er manner could it be paid so beneficially to Java, which has,:in fact, enriched itself by the same process that has yielded litis tribute to Holland. They say that the undeveloped resources of an Eastern country leave but a small margin of pioduce for export, beyond the consumption, and that consequently the imports can only attain to the same figure Las that margin. This is sonfirmed by the former imports and ex ports of Java, and the present trade in and out of India, all which average from 4s. to ss. per head per annum. The Dutch say, on the other hand, that the resources of an Eastern country developed by European capital and skill, soon produce so ent.rmous a margin beyond consumption, as t ,- ) cause the condi ion of the people to be much im proved, even where they only receive a portion of the value of the increase. The present Java exports are the surplus produce of the country, rased equally by native labour, worth ly said t e be made, o f the one third e ex ports. European skill and Government advances. The r e t urn f o r thatsu t r o p t lu h iv s e p n r a o t du e ce may lpbourer, one-third to th e E uropean remaining imports one-third goe s t o th e D utc h Govern mentro u two-thirds retir n for its ad vances o f cap i ta l i n pn J 'o a ar v st a tse ,. ir N a The V o i l if t h ol o al ir u bea t iudalin which the greater portion of such surplus produce would have remained hidden in the soil." The great difference it will be seen between the English and the Dutch systems is that the former trusts entirely to private capital, and the latter to Government. Without abandoning our own plans we might profit by some hints from the Dutch, and at least carefully study the system which produces a surplus revenue instead of an Indian loan. It must be remembered, however, that our system has not been fairly tried, owing to the dis couragement shown by the Company to enter prising settlers of every description. In one respect we are already following the example of the Dutch,;in employing the native chiefs in posts of honour and influence. The very last intelli gence received by the Overland Mail tells us that the system which has been tried with success in the Punjaub and Oude, of entrusting native gen tlemen of rank with magiste r i a l an d revenue pewe rs, has been introduced into the North-West ern provinces by the Lieut.-Governor. This will have the effect, it is said, of restoring the aristo cracy to their true position. When Mr. Money told his Dutch friends, in answer to some question, that " we did not govern the people through any native chiefs, but directly under ourselves, though India was full of native chiefs of high family and of large fortunes, with immense local interest, the conversation usually ended with a shrug or a polite intimation that our people must be easier to govern than theirs, or the rebellion of 1857 would not have been the first rising of a body of nobles dissati s fi e d a t b e i ng de prival of all legitimate share in the government of their own countrymen, but left with large means of mischief as landowners, and as feudal lords over numbers devoted vassals and retainers."
