This work is evidently that of a beginner, as it is very prolix in its descriptions, and rather exag gerated in some of its details, it bears, how ever, the appearance of much talent in some of its sketches, and, therefore, we may fairly expect on a future occasion th a t we may meet with something superior to this production. Redundancy of style is always easy to correct with time and experience, and here and there is conspicuous some character that go es far to red eem th e overdrawn descriptions met with occasionally. The hero Eveleyn is a very strange young man, who meets with many rebuffs and great mortification in his attempts to enter the society of the elite. It must be acknowledged, however, that on many occasions his brusquerie of style and vehemence of action, seem to bear out the opinions of those who eliminate him from their charmed circle. For instance he caused a gentleman to be thrown down in the hunting-field because he had offended him, and another time he endeavoured to trip up in the dance the brother of a young lady who re fused to dance with him. Such solecisms of etiquette, to say nothing of such want of good feeling, were enough to sanction the de cree that ostracised him from the ranks of the county magnates. He improved, however, afterwards, and he is to be pitied for his mistaken ideas of duty. He married Mrs. Aylmer from a feeling that he ought, and no sooner were they united than she commenced to prepare for death. Hai she possessed right views she would not have undertaken new engagements when so near to the "putting off the flesh that clothes mortality." Mr. Levinge is quite a model villain of the old school of romance, deluding one girl with a false marriage and then forming an engagement with another. The scene in the church when Zizzi, the Greek girl, whom he has betrayed, rushes in and forbids the marriage after the ceremony had actually com menced, is very striking, and the most dramatic passage of the book. He, whom conscience could not daunt, was overwhelmed by the public disgrace which fell upon him. He soon after left the coun try and died in a distant land, an alien from his fair inheritance, and an outcast from home and all social and fri en dly ti es . K ate H owar d i s a pleasing maiden, but she does not show much discern ment in admiring such a man as Levinge. She is married to Evelyn after his first wife's death, and therefore the unfortunste hero and heroine are at last un it e d ; an d as Evelyn has im proved greatly they have a fair prospect of happi ness. Mr. Howard, very unfortunately for him, was entangled with some of his nephew Leving's very crooked affairs, and he was nearly ruined in consequence. Those who like such narratives as convey a great deal of information in the course of their recital, will be pleased with this novel of " County Society," as it imparts a vast amount of one sort or another of intelligence, with its complicated events, extraordinary charac ters, and impressive descriptions. It can, therefore, lay claim to some consideration from the reader, as it is the result of thought, and is evidently written con amore with the excitement and enthusiasm that so often appertain to the beginner. " County Society" is novel in some of its ideas, and in spite of its exaggeration it possesses enough merit to render it a fair romance for the average readers of fiction - and habitues of the circulating library.

This is a story of domestic life, very pleasing in its style, although full of melancholy. The hero and heroine, Frederick and Ruth Selwin, are brother and sister, and tenderly attached to each other. They have been left orphans at a very early ago, under the care of a maiden aunt, who is devoted to their welfare. Aunt Susan is one of those favour able specimens of the maligned class disrespectfully termed " old maids," that are sometimes met with, devoting all their time, care, and thoughts to those around them. The Aunt Susan in question supplies a mother's place to the young orphans at much personal sacrifice, and bestows on them in after life the same affectionate care with which she tended their childhood, ever ready to join in their joys and to soothe their troubles or annoyances. Unfortu nately all her care cannot protect her darlings from sorrow and disappointment. The only cloud over the house at Rosefield when we are first introduced to it is the morbid temper of Frederick, whose fits of gloomy despondency are a grievous perplexity to his loving and sunny-hearted little sister. Ruth is a charming character, and engrosses the reader's interest throughout the tale. Although active and courageous in time of need, she is pos sessed of a sensitive and deeply affectionate nature, which is quite unfitted to bear the roughnesses of life, and more especially any neglect or coldness from those she loves. The quiet life at Rosefield is interrupted by the arrival of a stranger cousin, and the romance of their lives begins. A series of events assemble at Paris Frederick and Ruth, George the cousin, and his sister Hester, a very beautiful, but haughty, wilful, and self conceited girl. Ruth, far from the loving sympathy of her Aunt Susan, finds herself for the first time slighted and despised, her humble attainments ridiculed, her brother's rove chilled into indifference, her lover's attention sunk into neglect. Meanwhile Frederick, who almost worships the ar rogant and unfeeling Hester, is the victim of her caprices. We leave the reader to learn from the history itself how this game of cross purposes is played out, and the various alternations of joy and sorrow, hope and suspense through which its actors have to pass. The more serious and melancholy portions of the tale are relieved by the sayings and doings of John Plumber, the Rosefield gar dener, his intractable donkey Tom, and his still more unmanageable son Bill, who puts a climax to his delinquencies by marrying at the advanced age of nineteen the substantial housemaid of nine and thirty. The story is somewhat spun out, especially towards the close, although the lin. certainty as to Ruth's ultimate fate is skilfully maintained, and the reader is left in doubt until near the conclusion. Some of the conversation of Watts might also be dispensed with, and the story compressed into two volumes with ad vantage. Its principal merit is the simplicity and ease of its style. In these days when abstruse theories and perplexing controversies lay in am bush in works of fiction to start upon the wearied reader seeking amusement, and bid him analyse systems of philosophy or discuss social problems, it is refreshing to meet with a novel which attempts nothing more than to tell an interesting tale, to portray character, and to beguile pleasantly a few idle hours. Those who are attracted by such a programme, and who are contented in the absence of great ability or startling effect, will do well to pay A visit to the " Home at Rosefield." SOUTHAMPTON, Tuesday.—The Union Company's screw steamship Dane, Capt. Hoffman, sailed hence to-day for Madeira, taking out 33 passengers, among whom were Lady Beaumont and Mr. Copeland, a son of Alderman Copeland. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Tagus, Captain W. B. Hall, sailed yesterday with the mails and 33 passengers for Vigo, Oporto, and Lisbon. THE NEw BLACKFRIARS BRIDGE.—The levels of the new bridge over the Thames at Blackfriars, in the stead of the present unsightly and dilapidated structure, have been taken. The intended structure will be 6 feet 10 inchos lower in the centre and 2 feet 9 inches lower at the side arches than the present bridge, and the incline will there fore be easy. The width of the bridge will be 80 feet within the parapets, being nearly double that of the present bridge. In construction it will be similar to that of Westminster, but with only three spans to cross the river. REPEAL OF 100 ACTS OF PARLIAMENT.—On Friday the six new criminal statutes relating to offences against the person, malicious injury to property, larceny, forgery, coining, and accessories and abettors, will come into force, and from Thursday as many as 105 acts and parts of acts on the criminal law will be repealed. RESULT OF THE MIDDLESEX REVISION.—After the holding of 23 separate courts this extraordinary revi sion of the lists of county voters has been brought to a close, and has resulted in a political gain on the register to the Liberal party, in the place of an anticipated considerable loss. We read in the Nationalitie :—" The police, ou searching a man just arrested at Milan for swindling, found upon him a consul's diploma and a commission as cabinet courier, both signed by the ex-King of of Naples." Sir Henry Storks, Sir George Buller (major general commanding), Capt. HylEar, and other persons in command dined with the Emperor of Austria during his brief stay at Corfu, and in commemoration of the event one of the principal fortified outworks has been christened " Francis Joseph." IMPORTANT ALTERATION IN THE CRIMINAL LAW. " CONSPIRACY TO MURDER."—On Friday next, Nov. 1, the new act on offences against the person will come into opera tion, containing an important provision with respect to "conspiracy to murder," a subject which excited a good deal of interest about three years ago. The 4th section of the new act (24 and 25 Vic„ c. 100) states that " all persons who shall conspire, confederate, and agree to murder any person, whether he be a subject of her Majesty or not, and whether ho be within the Queen's dominions or not; and whosoever shall solicit, encourage, persuade, or endeavour to persuade, or shall propose to any person to murder any other person, whether he be a subject of her Majesty or not or whether he be within her Majesty's dominions or not shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and being convicted thereof shall be liable, at the discretion of the Court to be kept in penal servitude for any term not more than ten and not less than three years, or to be imprisoned for any term not exceeding two years with or without hard labour," BRUTAL CONDUCT OF AUSTRIAN OFFICERS NEAR VICENZA. In a late number of the Opinione of Turin there appears the following account of an onslaught made by eight Austrian officers on a young Italian lad, Alessandro Finatto, the son of the postmaster at Vicenza. The truth of the narrative, which ap peared in the private letter to which general pub licity was given in the Opinione, has been amply i confirmed from other quarters:— " VICENZA, Oct. 10. " I will begin by telling you of the sanguinary scene that happened here yesterday. You know that during the last few days the Austrian army has made some manoeuvres on a grand scale, so that it is needless to inform you that, besides the damage to the vineyards and the arable land, all the cost of military transport, as well as the quartering of the men, had to be defrayed by the communes. " M mtecchio Maggiore was one of the localities designated for these exercises, and for a fortnight above 9,000 soldiers have been billeted on the houses. I leave you to imagine the damage to the fields, trampled on by horse and foot, just as if it were an enemy's country. The postmaster of this place is one Biasio Finatto, and it happened that when he returned from Vicenza he found an order at his house from the commune, ordering him to take two officers of the regiment Prohascka to a neighbouring place. The order was to depart im mediately, without giving him time to rest even his horse. "The poor man,'being tired with his previous jour ney, sent his only son, Alessandro (a young man aged 19, full of life and vigour) to accompany them, and the two officers bade him come and pick them up near the Café Panciera, the usual place of ren dezvous for all the officers of that regiment. " Young Finatto was exact to the appointment, but, instead of the two officers, he found no less than five, who insisted on all getting into the car riage. He refused to take them, alleging in self defence the communal order, which only mentioned two, not fire; and that, besides, his weary horse was incapable. One of the two first officers, Count Burl, of Milan, either a captain or lieutenant, who heard the post-boy's refusal, got out of the carriage, in which he was already, went up to him, and gave him a blow with the back of his hand. " The lad felt his blood boil in his veins, and re torted by hitting him in the face with his clenched fist. The count tried to draw his sword, but the lad quickly seized it, though cutting his fingers, forced the blade back into the scabbard from which it was half drawn, and so held it until the count's four comrades (I believe all Austrians by race) brutally attacked the unarmed lad with their drawn swords. The names of three are known—Lieutenants Counts Wurmbrand and 011 mayer, and Sub-Lieutenant Vachs. The first wounded him mortally in the neck, the second cut his arm, the third cut through his elbow, and they continued to shower blows on the unfortunate man, who managed, however, to get on his feet and run for shelter from their brutal cowardice into the café. Inside there were about 30 officers, some of high rank in the same regiment, who continued playing cards with out moving, permitting this enormity to be com mitted. Three more joined the first five in cutting with their swords at the poor lad, who, tottering, mortally wounded, tried to reach a door, which, opening on an inner court, offered a hope of escape. Then all present, roused from their impassibility, jumped up from the card-tables to bar the way and drive the fugitive back into the middle of the room, where the unfortunate man's strength failing him he fell half dead under one of the tables. But their barbarity did not end here; for while his eight assailants pricked him with their sword points as if he had been a truss of straw, others called out the patrol from the nearest guard-house, perhaps to strike terror into the inhabitants, and ordered them to take the half alive body to the guard-house and keep it in close arrest. " The occurrence soon came to the ears of the father and sister, who tried to learn the truth ; but the sentinels crossed bayonets before the two unhappy people, who demanded with tears a son and a brother. Some people interfered, and the communal secretary at last obtained a hearing for them. You can imagine the despair of both on beholding him lying half dead on the bare ground, bathed with his blood, his eyes half closed, neither knowing nor hearing them. They called for a doctor, and soon fetched Dr. Cora, the parish doctor ; but he was refused admittance, so they were obliged to ask for another permit from the general, who granted it on condition that the medical examination should be made in the presence of two regimental doctors; thus with orders and permits two good hours passed before the doctor could do anything for the dying man. The wounds were bound up as well as possible ; out of 19 four were declared mortal; and then a litter was sent for, on which, after procuring a further order from the general, the patient was carried to his home. "The general in command has withdrawn the eight offenders from the indignation of the furious people, who would have tried to make an example of them, and sent them secretly I do not know whether to Verona or Vicenza. The young man is not yet dead, owing to his youth, but the doctor in charge of him has no hopes for him. "No particulars of this occurrence can be con tradicted. I have told the simple truth. This lamentable deed took place yesterday, Oct. 9, at six o'clock p.m." EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE AT THE GENERAL POST OFFICE. The following extraordinary statement appears is a contemporary : Yesterday (Tuesday) morning an investigation into the extraordinary delay of upwards of 500 bankers' parcels at the General Post-office, and the whole of which ought to have been forwarded to the several parties to whom they were addressed by the first delivery on Saturday morning last, but which were detained more than 12 hours, i. e,, until nearly six o'clock in the evening, was resumed, the investigation into this unheard-of case, we under stand, having been commenced on Monday. From the several sources at his command, our reporter this (Tuesday) morning gleaned that it appears evident from the statements made by some of the officers on duty on Saturday morning at the arrival of the mails and the opening of the bags, that the whole of the correspondence was duly received at the office, and placed in bags (as is the custom), to be sent round to the stampers and sorters, to prepare for the letter-carriers. From some cause, perfectly inexplicable, two of these baskets, con taining bankers' parcels (enclosing hundreds of thousands of pound notes, bills, &c.), were com pletely overlooked, having been pushed under the " road" where the letters are sorted, and thus, it seems, they were forgotten. As a matter of course the bankers, merchants, and " though last not least" the authorities of the Bank of England, who had five packets, as we are informed, addressed to that establishment, very soon after the first delivery had taken place without the arrival of the more valuable part of their correspondence, instituted inquiries into the reason of the delay, but the only answer they could obtain from the Post-office authorities was, " That the whole of the letters, &c., which had arrived had been sent out for delivery." . Upon this the telegraph was set to work, but each succes sive telegram from various parts of the United Kingdom brought a reply, to the effect that the parcels had been despatched to London through the Post-office in the ordinary way. The Post-office authorities of course became alarmed, fearing that another wholesale plunderer had been following his nefarious vocation; whilst as the day wore on, and no tidings could be obtained of any of the packets, the consternation in the City became intense. Mes sengers and detectives were despatched in all direc tions, and various means employed to trace the missing valuables, but up to five o'clock p.m. with out effect. At that hour, however, the evening duty commenced, and in rumaging the office for baskets to carry the newspapers in, the two were found, the t contents being quite safe. They had apparently been pushed out of sight, and they were overlookedl by stampers, sorters, and other officers. t.sh t w h e a s officers d o u f p t on el l s e u s s t p a i b c u m o ft e n s t a , t n u a r m d a e y d Pr O itc n h e a o r f d, for 12 h rhse poor—ind e fellow,e until w thee hear, not t f the been ipornog perty. in the service, and was attached to one of the walks of banking importance.

The most strange part of the business, officially, is how it could h ave h appened in the first instance that no remark was made as to the non arrival of any bankers's parcels on Saturday morn ing, and bow it happened that none of the nume rous inspectors and overlookers of this duty did not take care, as it is their duty, that nothing—not even a newspaper —was either designedly or accidentally left behind. We hear the bankers have determined to call upon the authorities for a full explanation. FATHER PASSAGLIA AT FLORENCE,—A corres pondent writes from Florence on the 24th to the Temps : "I have seen the Abbe Passaglia. Ho arrived here on Monday at 2 o'clock, and left this morning with Canon Reali for Bologna, whence he goes to Turin. I had a hur• ried interview with him in company with seven or eight persons, laity and ecclesiastics. He was astonished at the enthusiasm of which he was the object upon his route. At Rieti, Narni, Perugia, and Sienna, he recounted, the people cried out to him, Viva Passaglia I' Viva L'ltalia Una!

PREGGEN. This was an action to recover £lO, the balance of an I 0 U for £2O. Mr. Beard, for the plaintiff, said his client was a licenced victualler, and had lent defendant (the son of a licensed victualler) the sum of £2O. £lO had been repaid, and de fendant had pleaded a set-off as to the remainder. Mr. Buchanan, for the defendant, said he would admit the I 0 U, and proceed to prove the set-off. Defendant was then called, and deposed to having trans acted business on account of plaintiff. He had tried to ob tain loans from various brewers and distillers for plaintiff, and he (defendant) was to have so much commission for doing so. The defendant was subjected to a most searching cross-examination by Mr. Beard, the result of which was that his Honour summarily found for the plaintiff with costs. IMPORTANT TO ROUSE AGENTS.. -- IVILLIA.MS V. NORMAN, • This was an action to recover a sum of money paid as deposit for a house, the business not having been completed. Defendant (the house and estate agent, of Little Britain,) admitted receiving the deposit, but he received it on account of Mr. Hill (a client), and plaintiff well knew it. Defen dant Was willing to pay back the money, but must habe the authority of his client. His Honour observed that it was perfectly clear defen dant had received the deposit on behalf of Hill. Defendant was responsible to Hill for this money, and could not rid himself of it without Hill's authority. If plaintiff had any cause of action it was against Hill. In this case there would be a verdict for defentlitnt. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(T7is Day.) MAR LBORO UGH-STREET. STEAL/NGIA HORSE AND CART—WELL KNOWN THIEVES. William Ryan, of 3, Pear-street, Westminster, and his wife, Elizabeth Ryan, and Mary Kennedy, of 16, Pye-street, Westminster, were charged ith stealing a horse and cart, the property of Mr. Frederick Isaac, traveller, of Pleasant row, Deptford. Sergeant Cole, 23 C, said that on the previous evening he saw a horse and cart standing in front of Mr. Norman's toy warehouse, at the corner of Greek-street, Soho, the male prisoner being near it, and the females on the opposite side of the way. The male prisoner and Kennedy afterwards jumped into the cart and drove off as fast as they could. He (Cole) pursued them, and when near them Kennedy said " Here's the slop." Kennedy then jumped out, and he (Cole) seized the pri soner Ryan and held him down on the ground till assist ance came; Ryan's wife striking him about the face in a violent manner. The male prisoner then said the cart and horse were his own property, but on his telling him that he would go and see, he said they were not, and asked him to let him go. Kennedy had only just come out of prison for stealing a watch, and the male prisoner Ryan was a thief. Sheen and Oliver, of the B division, attended and said that Kennedy had been convicted of stealing a watch, and had nine months, and was only just out, and the man had three months for being found in enclosed premises. They were both very bad characters. _ _ _ Mr. Frederick Isaacs identified the horse and cart as his property, and said they were of the value of £lO. Mr. Beadon said he should discharge the female pri soner Ryan, as far as stealing the horse and cart were con cerned, as no jury would convict her, but he should sen tence her to one month for the assault, bat the others would be committed for trial. During the time the depositions were being taken Ken nedy kept up a dismal whining. TRAM ES. ROBBERY AT A PUNCH AND JUDY SHOW.—Wm. Hall, a notorious thief, aged 20, of 38, Dunk-street, Mile-end Old-town, was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with stealing a purse containing two half-crowns from the per son of a young lady named Clara Bridge, of Fisher-street, Barking. Yesterday evening the prosecutrix was looking at a Punch and Judy exhibition at the corner of Arbour-square, Commercial. read, and the prisoner managed to relieve her of her purse and money. She was so diverted with the antics of the arch rogue Punch that she neither suspected or knew of her loss until a man named Wm. Hall touched her on the shoulder, and said " Have you lost anything Miss?" She immediately missed her purse and money. The prisoner was then talking to and handing something to a confed erate, and Hall seized him and said " You are my prisoner." The prisoner put himself in a fighting attitude, on which Hall threw him on his back and kept him down until a police-constable arrived. In answers to questions by Mr. Woolrych, Hall said that ho was a coal-whipper and labourer, dwelling at No. 5, Hill-place-street, Upper North street, Poplar, that ho mixed with the crowd looking at Punch and Judy, and saw the prisoner try the pockets of half •a-dozen females, and at last dip his hand into the pocket of Miss Bridge and take something out. Miss Bridge said she recollected the prisoner standing by her side and touching her dress. Allway, a police-constable, No. 386 R, said he searched the prisoner and found upon him a half-crown piece, two shillings and twopence. The purse was not recovered. The uncle of the prosecutor said if the money taken from the prisoner was not given up to•him, he should like it to bo presented to the witness Hall, who had behaved re markably well. Several police constables said the prisoner had been sum marily convicted three times for picking pockets, and was once in custody for stealing a watch in Whitechapel, and discharged. The prisoner was the worst thief in the dis trict. The prisoner—lt is very hard to be punished for such paltry things, a handkerchief on one occasion, and now a purse and 55. Mr. Woolrych 7 Do you plead guilty or not guilty ? The prisoner—l am guilty, settle it hero. Mr. Woolrych sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for six months and kept to hard labour. The money taken from the prisoner was not of the same description as that in the purse, and it would be given up to him. He awarded ss. from the poor-box fund to the witness Hall, whose con duct was highly creditable to him. Reports are in circulation in Paris about the President of the United States having sounded Russia as to the willingness of that Power to mediate between the North and the South ; but nothing is known in official ()kola to tills effect. 7HE PERENNIAL COTTON THE OF PERU. (From the London American of this day.) It may appear anomalous to many that while we profess to be an unswerving advocate of American interests we should say anything to deprecate the products of the United States. Let it be remem bered, however, that although oar columns are almost exclusively devoted to such affairs as arra directly or relatively important to the people of thJe United States, we are decidedly opposed to all mono.. polies, no matter of what origin. The cultivation r,f the cotton plant may be considered an Amerirß,u monopoly, inso much as the manufacturers of that article have depended almost entirely upon the Southern States. The few hundred thousand bales, more or less, contributed by India —the littla more than specimens received from Jam aica,San Domingo, Africa, Southern and C entral America can, by no means bo considered in the light of competition. For all the effect that the cotton of these countries has had upon the market, thus far the rebel States may still consider themselves without a rival. li e d their greed of gain, and lust for powerand dominion been commensurate with a moderate knowledge of the world outside, they might s till have con tinued for an almost indefinite period in undis_ 4urbed possession of this rich field of industry-. Now their downfall is certain. Necessity will accomplish what principle has too long neg.. lected---Lancashire will depend no longer upon South Carolina, nor Lyons upon Louisiana, nor Lowell up on Al a b ama. Th e capac i t i es of British India will be carefully consulted, the rich soil of Honduras will be anxiously questioned ; San Domingo will be inquired after, and Jamaica will respond to her fullest extent. These are fields whose possibilities for cotton growing are not by any means novel. The first two, properly looked after, might supply the world ; the others with several portions of Africa and Australia will doubtless become valuable auxiliaries. Our purpose at this time is not to extol any one of them, but to call attention to a species of cotton which is just now exciting a good deal of attention in the United States—a cottoii tree which may be grown in any c li mate w h ere I ndian corn will ma ture. It is known botanically as the Gossypiune Arboreunz, is a perennial, and was brought from Peru by Mr. Kendall, a native of Maryland. Mr. Kendall found it growing wild in the cold, rough mountainous districts, as well as in the sultry lowlands of that country, and, upon his return to the United States, he transported a number of the plants. The experiment inaugurated by him has pro duced the most satisfactory results. His cotton trees thrive as well on his farm in Maryland as do the annual plants in Georgia and Mississippi. A few evenings ago Mr. Kendall delivered a lec ture before a scientific audience in New York, upon his Peruvian cotton tree. He gives an in teresting account of his valuable discovery : " Several years ago, while an employ 6 in the Patent Office," says Mr. Kendall, "I received and accepted a tempt.. ing offer from a Chilian gentleman of wealth, Senor Also gara, to conduct certain matters on his estates. One holiday morning not very long after my arrival at my temporary South American home, I set out on horseback along the course of a modest little river called the Chipura, and forming the boundary between semi-civilisation and the territory of the Ypurian savages. Resolved to explore as much of my patron's domain as the brief Nay day would allow, I pushed briskly forward over the already frozen ground, covered fetlock deep with newly fallen snow, fol lowing the windings of the stream, whose ledgy banks of dark rock generally thrust back, as it were, by alluvial bot toms from one to nree hundred yards distant, indicating that the Chipura h a d one d ay b een a river of ten times its present volume. After a ride of some two hours, in doubling an abrupt turn where the rocks approached very near the water, I came suddenly into full view of an object some 200 yards distant, which presented the most magnificent spectacle I had ever seen—a perfect cone or pyramid of pure, brilliant snow, elevated at its base per haps seven feet from the ground, upon a shaft of whitish b-onze ; the whole structure cut clear and sharp against the dark wall of rock in the back ground. I had in northern countries, after a calm fall of snow, seen many a white pyramid, having an internal structure of pine or spruce, but knowing that in the present instance the snow had fallen during a violent gale, and observing that none of the pines about me bore any traces cf it upon their branches, I rode forward in semi -bewilderment to investigate tho phenomenon. " It resolved itself, as I drew near, in a most perfect speci men of the Gossypierm Ardoreum, the perennial cotton tree. Its foliate had long been shed, but the pods remained, having fully burst, and turned out their spotless samples in almost perfect roses, covering the entire structure with a dense mass of spotless, glossy cotton. I had often seen and examined indifferent specimens of the perennial cotton shrub, but I had never seen anything even approaching in perfection that solitary tree. " The remainder of that, and many a saint day there after, was devoted to intimate companionship with, and diligent study of the habits, peculiarities, and general economy of the beautiful solitai) e of the Chipura, "In its native condition, and in the higher southern latitudes, the average size and altit u d e o f the Gossypium Arbereum equal the medium peach tree of North America--say eight inches in diameter at two feet from the ground, and in height twenty feet ; in its general structure more nearly resembling the white rnulberry than any other tree with which I ant familiar. The leavlk are abundant, distinctly denticulated, and of a glossy, silvery green. Flowers profuse, very double, varigated, and in size about a third smaller than the perfected hollyhock, the tree when in full bloom pre senting one of the most beautiful effects imaginable. The bolls at maturity are twice the size of those borne by the herbaceous plant, and wherever it approached the colder regions, I found the fiber finer and the length of the staple increased. " The perennial cotton tree is propagated from seed, or snore readily from cuttings simply thrust into the ground, and possesses this peculiar advantage in any country over the herbaceous plant. It may be planted oat as an apple, peach, or pear orchard, and the field cropped with any of the cereals, until the tree, having reached its maximum standard, should entirely occupy the land. It bears cutting as kindly as any known tree, and in field culture may always be kept so pruned that its produce shall be within reach of the hand." Mr. Kendall reperts that he has seen one tree capable ,of producing not less than one hundred pounds, and in relation to its adaptability to Northern latitudes, says : " Two-thirds of the present free States of the Union possess the requisite of soil—several of them in an eminent degree ; and there is no well-founded reason why they should not afford an unlimited supply of cotton, equalling in quality the best south ern staple, and at a clear profit to the producer of fifty per cent. above the average proceeds from the usual farm crops ; and that, too, without materially lessening the breadth of land now devotQd to grass and grain, or seriously inter fering with the routine of farm economy as at present con ducted." This discovery is likely to be of immens3 advantage to the world at the present time. If only a fair percentage of all that is claimed for it proves true it will not only do much to make cotton more abundant, but cheaper. It is stated that two thousand pounds may be pro duced on an acre of land, while five hundred pounds from the herbaceous plant is considred a large yield. The fibre even when produced—as it generally is in Peru without care or culture—is declared to be superior to that of the best upland staple of the rebel States. HEALTH OF LONDON : DURING THE WEEK. (From the Repstrar-General's Weekly Return.) The deaths in London declined to 1,065 in the week that ended October 19 ' • they increased but very slightly in the week ending last Saturday, when the number was 1,087. Scarlatina is frequent at the present time, and fatal cases of it are nume rous among children ; but generally the population appears to be in good health, and the mortality from all causes is considerably below the average. The deaths from scarlatina rose last week to 96, those from diphtheria were 11; while the corrected average for corresponding weeks is 86 for the two diseases together. There were 10 from scarlatina in Chelsea, 4 in the sub-district of Mayfair, 8 in Battersea,e i e r k en Islington, 9 in the two Waterloo-road sub-districts nai buto i fL ni a n m g be p t o h r , tiono ofntlyhaotndeisitnrictth,e which comprises coofmthperirsees r Clapham,etnyrrnheed There were in Were 7 in Lambeth, Kennington, Brixton , and Norwood.

He considers that the rapid propagation of the disease in his neighbourhood is much aided by the overcrowding of small houses, in consequence of the extensive clearance effected for the Charing-cross railway. Mr. Armstrong, registrar of St. Mary, St. George in-the-East, states that scarlatina has been very prevalent during October in that part of his sub. district, the northern, which is the most densely populated. Last week the births of 945 boys and 877 girls, in all 1,522 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1851-60 the average number was 1,654. various public ALDERMAN SALOMONS, M.P., AND HIS CON smuryrs.—Last evening a crowded public meeting of the electors of the borough of Greenwich residing at IV oolwich Plumstead, and Charlton was held at the Literary ah l es n lpd s e t yc i t ei v as . - . 1 tion, Nelson-street, Woolwich, at which an address was deli questions of f ihj t e h t ‘h e le e day. lrvsoe ryt Dh A yo resolutioneksa aldermann Harbour aw e r x ab p so r ua e expressive soßivvoteaerdodf.,continued yes terday, nyrodel confidence a anei Does EXTENSION was na y st Aldermanfagreed, gr :EXTENSION AT LIVERPOOL. --At mee r p e o e w d er a s f S t a t e o i r ° to protracted works on the debate, to apply Liverpool side of the Mersey. aotnprdtixtrah.p., on ifg
