L o rd PALMERSTON, who has recently been cc s t arr ing" with great success in the p ro vinces, has achieved an extraord inary triumph on the metropolitan boards. It would, i ndeed, be diffi evit to discover more competent audiencez than those before which the Noble Premie r has so re cently appeared at Manchester, at Liverpool, and at the Guildhall of the City of London. Almost every influential class in the cm. anaunity was well represented on these important ; and interesting occasions. At the chief seat c f manufacturc— the "Cotton Metropolis," as i t has been con temptuously styled—he met alx Idy of men who have, pe:haps, a deeper interest in the mainte nance of universal peace and tr tuquillity than any other that could by any pos si bility be pr.- duced. Thanks to our wooden walls and the indomitable spirit of our gallant Cie fenders by sea and by land, there is but little :pt •ospect of the British soil being polluted by the f: lotsteps of an invader. We may see our friend 3 and relatives pouring forth their blood freely alai d willingly in defence of the safety, honour, and ixr elfare of their native land. There may be the so% wds of lamen tation and mourning at many ha arths for the loved ones who have gone forth i n the pride of strength to fight the battles of theia: country, and whose remains are now mouldering; on a foreign strand—there may have been inte rise pressure on pecuniary resources, occasioning se were privations, and cutting off many comforts th; at had almost become necessaries ; but England 1 a: is still been ex empted from " the horrors of wf such as the inhabitants of less favoured lands :have witnessed. But there is still quite sufficient; to induce the manufacturing interests—the cm dors and pro ducers of national wealth—to dai:;est war for its own sake, as depriving them of ti he markets for their fabrics, and so largely enhancing the cost of production that they can scarce hope to ob tain reasonable profits on their otrtlay, or even to execute the orders which may be tendered for their acceptance. The inhabitants of the commercial emporium of England have equal reason to dread hostilities, so far as their private and personal interests are concerned. Trade only flourishes in a. season of general tranquillity, and they would find greater difficulties and increased expense in obtaining the commodities in which they dealt, while there would be a depreciated demand in consequence of the pressure on the resources of their customers from the additional taxation. The guests at the Lord Mayor's banquet were of a mop •e varied character. All classes, and every shade and variety of political opinion, were the re repre sented ; and yet the unanimity was as striking, the reception as enthusiasti:, and the a pplause as rapturous at the Guildhall as at Mririchester or Liverpool. Lord PALMERSTON must have exer cised a potent spell to control so maai.y different elements, and mould them all to his will ! And yet the solution of the problem, is compara tively easy. It requires no (Epirus -to discover the answer to the enigma. He had only to dwell on a single key note. He might have played on a single string, without lessening the efficiency of his performance. All that was necessary was a satisfactory pledge that England would not suffer herself to be either bullied or ovjoled, but that she would steadfastly insist oit the due performance of the very lenient conditions and stipulations contained in the Treaty of Paris. The symptoms of dupli city and insincerity displayed by the AUTOCRAT—the more thah probable defec tion of France, only stimulate :the national enthusiasm, and induce the people to nail the British colours to the •mast, and unhesitatingly ignore the suggestion of compromise. It was the significant declaration of Lord PAT., MERSTON, that "the duration of peace, must depend on the honour and fidelity with which its condi tions are observed" that led to the "loud and prolonged cheering" with which his name was re ceived at the Guildhall. The applause was even more emphatic when he alluded to the gigantic efforts made at the commencement of the present year, and to "the finest army and the most magni ficent fleet that were ever engaged in defending the honour and the rights of England." When he referred to the spirit of the English people being thoroughly aroused, and the prospects of future successes if the war had continued, the plaudits were even more rapturous ; but when he repeated the announcement of his inflexible resolution that " the conditions of the peace should be faith fully executed and honourably observed, and that then the peace of Europe would be placed upon a secure and permanent 'oundation," the excitement passed all ordinary bounds—the com pany literally rose at the speaker. Each man vied with his fellow to see who c,►•uld most highly honour the truly English Minister. Every feeling was lost in the anxiety to show that they were determined to support to the last shilling the course of policy indicated by the First Lord of the Treasury. Can any doubt, then, remain as to the state of the popular mind The appearance and re ception at Manchester was a " great fact, " to be duly weighed by the Tillers of other nations. It was strengthened and confirmed by the meeting of Liverpool ; but that at Guildhall was the crowning triumph of all. We are, in deed, proud of cur country and our countrymen. They have well maintained their ancient reputa tion ! We are now proud of onr Minister. We only regret that his language was not as conclusive six months since. Then, indeed, we might truly have rejoiced. But, we shall not, white such declarations are before us advert to auy unpleasing subject. Let Lord PALMERSTON only fulfil his pledges, and the People will unanimously support him, and he will achieve a reputation higher than that ever gained by an English statesman. He will show himself to be indeed the man of the day, and earn his best reward in the unalloyed respect and gratitude of his countrymen. The good feeling manifested by the Chief Com missioner of Works in his reception yesterday of the deputation from the Metropolitan Board is certainly very honourable to him. It is not every member of the Government who, after being slighted and thwarted as he has been, would listen so patiently to the representatives of the offending parties, and manifest so much earnestness in obviating the public evil which their conduct had rendered imminent. Sir BeNJAMIN HALL, however, is evidently one of those men to whom the claims of duty are para mount, and who think they best consult their own dignity by subordinating personal considera tions to action for the public good. By a perusal of the report of the proceedings, which will be found elsewhere, the reader will find the Right Hon. Baronet has undertaken to give a definitive decision on the plan of the Metropolitan Board for the Southwark improvements in three days, in order that the required Parliamentary notices may be given in time to prevent another year's delay. Conduct like this speaks for itself, no t lik e ly to behotretrt,e:f abyfactht,eofpwubhliiceit. and is that th e S urrey p a pers, e i is s a2llyo althoughremindssi bly i p hn u ioni b ra li n s t h—edvoinz"Thursday (on which promised), can publish an extra d a y his decision is edition 011 Saturday, should the three day s b e found insufficient, thus allowing him t wo days more for the deliberation of a question of so m uc h importance as to warrant, under other circum. stances, the employment of as many weeks. We have the greater satisfaction in calling his attention to the z.bovu facts, because we are appre. pensive lest the common fate of doing things in a hurry should await his good-natured efforts, and his main design in furthering the improvements in question should, to a great or less extent, be frustrated. Not being in possession of the plan, we are ignorant of the precise latitude of action reserved by the Board, and to which they call upon him to give his assent. This is a matter of some importance, for, judging by the general outlines of the plan, it is by no means so matured as to be unsusceptible of considerable improve ment. To go no further than the proposed en trance of the great new thoroughfare from Lon don-bridge to Westminster, it seems to us that, in avoiding the Borough-market, an error would be committed. ' The deviation, it is true, involves no great increase of distance, and might possibly be attended with a consider able diminution of expense. But, on the other hind, we would submit the nearer the entrance of the new street is to the London-bridge Railway Stations, the better for passengers and purposes of traffic, and for the character also of the en trance itself. As it appears to us, the contem plated avoidance of the Borough Market would entail a more circumscribed as well as remote out• let westward than is desirable or necessary ; and, consequently, that using the space occupied by the market in question would be the best plan after all. The cry of " needless expenditure," we think, would be quite out of place when applied to a scheme commending itself by such advantages. The improvement sought for is surely of too great and permanent a nature for the purchase of the Borough Market to stand in the way of its due accomplishment. It is not a mere temporary road, but a thoroughfare we may almost say, to last for ever, the construction of which the Metropolitan Board is to take in hand, and the question of expense should be considered accordingly. What might reasonably be objected to in a temporary way may be anything but un warrantable when it relates to a great artery of traffic. If ever the motto of "do well what you have to do " is specially applicable, it is to a case like this—for a blunder oxen committed may be regarded as being as good as irreparable. We need not say how desirous we are the Southwark improvements should be effected as speedily as possible to justify us in requiring they should be properly executed. Such require ment does not stand in need of it, for it is in itself a proof of our impression as to their impor tance, were any further proof licking than the repeated suggestions and complaints at the abomi nable delay of the Board which have appeared in our editorial columns. We wish both Sir BEN 'YAMIN HALL and the Metropolitan Board well and happily through their labours, which will only be the case if they result in the greatest possible advantages of a reasonable nature being secured to the public. SERIOUS ILLNESS OF THE PRINCE OF LEININGEN. WINDSOR, MONDAY. The customary rejoicings in celebration of the birth day of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales have not taken place in consequence of the serious illness of Royal Highness the Prince of Leiningen, son of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, and half-brother to the Queen. Her Majesty, whilst at the camp at Aldershot, was apprised by express of the illness of this illustrious Prince, and on her return to the Castle tlae Queen dis pensed with the usual attendance of the military and private bands in the evening, and there has been no music since at the Castle. From the Fame cause the annual ball given to the mProbers of the royal household, in celebration of the Prince's birthday, which her Majesty and the royal children generally honour with their presence, is post poned. The fat de joie and parade movements before her Ma jesty and the Prince, in the Home Park, by the troops in garrison, were also dispensed with from the like Cause. AD invitations to Lhe Castle which had been previously issued have been countermanded. Expresses arrived on Saturday night, and at nine o'clock yesterday evening, conveyed no favourable in telligence in regard to the state of the Prince. The Prince ot Wales attained his 15th year on Sunday, and the only public demonstrations which have taken place here in honour of the day were the ringing of the '.bells of the Chapel Ro_, al of St. George and St. John's 'Church, and the firing of a r73yal salute from the Cor poration ordnance by the town bombardier, in the Bachelor's-acre. Should the illness of the Prince of Leiningen continue unfavourable, it is expected the Court will retire to Osborne. The plays announced to take place at the Castle on Thursday next have also been postponed. The Duke of Leeds has left the Clare' 4on for Southern Rectory, nett.- Scsaffham. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has returned to town, from Herefordshire. Sir George Grey arrived in London last evening, from Fallod en.

The metal was stolen from the original thief, and both the fellows were discovered through the sale of it at a very low price.

Letters received at - Alalta from Candia, a town in the island of the same name, give a deplorable account of the ravages of the recent earthquake, in addition to those already published, up to the 15th of October (three days after the shock). As many as 500 mangled cor p ses bad been dug out of the ruins, besides many persons severely wounded and bruised. Not more than 50 houses remained unin jured. The ov ens an d b a keries are destroyed, and starvation menaces the houseless population, in addition to the inclemency of the weather. The Roman Catholic church, only a year ago erected, is in ruins. In the interior the results are still more appalling. Five villages are totally destroyed, and the few surviving inhabitants are reduced to the most abject misery. A steamer had been despatched to the Commauders-in-Chief of the Anglo-French forces at the Piraeus of Athens craving assistance, and the Ottoman Porte had sent a despatch to the Sublime Porte to a like effect. Canea has suffered more than was at first re ported. Most of th e h ouses i n this town will have to be, if not wholly, in g reat part rebuilt, which, unless an immigration of builders takes place, will not be effected in five years ! Good workmen ob tain 2s. 6d. per diem, master masons much more, and labourers ls. 6d. p er diem ; 500 carpenters would readily find work . The church, hospita l, p o or-house, and sc h oo l o f th e Roman Catholic co mmunity, and the Greek school, are among th e fallen buildings. 400 tents have been sent to Candia from Canea by the Governor-General, whose humane measures to succour the people are beyond all praise. At Maori, iu Asia, opposite to Rhodes, where earthquakes are of frequent occur rence, the shock s , s t range t o say, were only felt slightly. At Mytelene, between the 4th and 19th of October, one or two slight shocks had been ex p, rieilcc:l daily, w ith b:Ltl effect I fli.te creating much -,la - rryt the inliallitr.nts, eo specially after hearing of the disasters on the 12th at Rhodes and Candia. Professor Ragona, the Director of the Royal Observatory at Palermo, reports the shock to have been felt in that city at 1 h. 59 min. 24 sec. a.m. (true time) ; the shocks were' two in number— strong, undulatory, of long duration, and remark able for the amplitude of the oscillations. The first shock continued nearly 8 seconds, and the second (with an interval of 2 to 3 seconds), 9 to 10 seconds. The predominating direction of the shocks was from E to W, with oscillations from NE to SW of a minor intensity. The sismograph marked some very slight irradiation or divergence in the oscilla tions from. Sto SE. The pendulums of the Royal Observatory, which oscillate nearly in a right angle with the predominating direction of the shocks, came to a standstill, whilst those oscillating in almost the same direction as the shocks were not affected thereby. From an early hour of the even ing the entire horizon was covered by a low fog, which continued even after the earthquake, and which fog was more particularly dense between the N.E. and S.E. points. .The barometer stood at 2a 30 in. rz, and the exterior thermometer at 15 deg. Reaumur. These particulars agree to a nicety with the observations made at Malta by private indivi duals, in the absence (shame be it said) of any public observatory, although in the time of the Knights of St. John the island was famous for its establishment of this description, and we had loped to have seen it revived under the British rule, particularly during the administration of so scien tide a personage as its present Governor, Sir William Reid, the author of that truly useful work the " Law of Storms." The shocks of the earthquake of the 11th and 12th of October were felt at Puzzuoli, Castelamare, Bari, Avellino, Tera di Lavori, Capitanata,, Basi licata, the two Principalities, Otranto, and Calabria, but no damages have been occasioned thereby at any of these places. It is, therefore, evident that the focus or seat of the earthquake has been about Candia and Rhodes, extending westward with almost equal violence as far as Malta, which owes its preservation from ruin and destruction to the solidity of its stone structures, not one of which have actually fallen, though most of them are much shaken, and some cracked to their very foundations on the live rock. EGYPT. ALEXANDRIA, OCT. 31. Travellers are beginning to arrive, but not in great numbers, with the intention of passing the winter iu Upper Egypt either for health or amuse ment. Englishmen express their astonishment at the heavy rains we have lately experienced, having come with the erroneous impression that it never rains in Egypt. Notwithstanding that September and October are the most unhealthy months in Alexandria, the sanitary condition of the city is regarded as excellent, the deaths averaging from 15 to 16 a day.' This proportion of deaths in a popula tion of 120,000 souls would be considered excessive in Loudon,—here it is pronounced to be a vast improvement compared wiih a former period. Tnis satisfactory state of the public health may in a great measure be attributed to the excellent regulations drawn up by Clot-Bey, and so well carried out by the Sanitary Board established by Mehemet Ali, and continued by his successors. The members of the Russian Chancellerie have arrived in Alexandria, and the Councillor of State Giers, appointed Consul-General iu Egypt, is ex pected, with his family, next week. The expedition for the discovery of the source of the Nile has received a valuable addition in the person of a Lieutenant in the French Imperial Navy, who served as aide-de-camp to the Admiral commanding in the Black Sea during the late war. He left last week for Cairo to join his companions. Travellers arrived from Syria state that English influence in that country is diminishing, and French influence is in the ascendant. This they attribute iu some measure to the inefficient charac ter of some of our Censuls in the province of the Turkish Empire. A collision has lately taken place near Nablous between a marauding tribe of ;Arabs and the Sul tan's troops, in which the latter were defeated, with the loss of 40 men. English travellers just arrived from Jaffa state that the Sultan's firman is regarded as waste paper in Syria. Nov. 1. A telegraphic despatch has just been received, announcing the arrival at Suez, at three o'clock this morning, of the Ganges, with the Indian mail and 32 passengers. MALTA. We have received Malta news to the 501 of November. The squadron under Rear-Admiral Sir R. S. Dundas continued at anchor in Valetta harbour. Her Majesty's steam gun boat Wanderer re turned from Naples with despatches, announcing the departure thence of the British Legation, as well as that of the French Ambassador and Lega tion on the 28th. On the 31st October a French screw steam ship of the line embarked in the Bay of Naples. _ _ Her Majesty's steamer Osprey was dispatched by Rear-Admiral Dundas on the 3d, with sealed orders, steering in the direction of the Faro of Messina. Her Majesty's steam frigate Gorgon arrived from England and Gibraltar on the 3d, bringing Lieut. Smith, R.E., Messrs. Watts and Prinsep, and four sappers and miners, destined, it is said, on a scien tific misiou to the island of Mytelene, near the Dardanelles. Her Majesty's steam fri g ate Gladiator left Malta for Marseilles on the 31st October, .conveying, on their way to England, Mr. Skeene, the British Consul at Aleppo, Major Mehmed Aga, Messrs. Mallouf, Giraud, and Tabet, witnesses in the forth coming court-martial, which General Beatson, of Bashi-Bazouk notoriety, has demanded, in order to clear himself of the grave charges preferred against him by General Shirley. The Australian Auxiliary Steam Clipper Company's first ship Istamboul, left the Victoria Docks, according to arrangement, yesterday, at eleven o'clock, with a full cargo and passengers for Melbourne. This vessel was loaded by the use of hydraulic machinery, at the rate of 200 tons per day. It is ratisfactory to find that owing to the great facilities afforded by the Victoria Dock Company the Istamboul was enabled to fill up in so short a space of time, a n d to s a il punctually on the day axed for the departure, viz., the 10th of November. THE MAILS,—SOUTIIAMPLON, Monday, Nov. 10. — Royal Mloi steam ship Tyne, Capt. Valler, sailed this afternoon with the usual monthly contract mails for Lisbon, Madeira, Teneriffe, St. Vincent's (Cape . Verde), Pernambuco, Bahia, Rio de Janeiro, Monte Video, and Buenos Ayres, taking out 150 passengers, among whom are the Duke and Duchess of Saldauha, a full general cargo, specie value 80,0001., and jewellery value 40,0001. The next homeward mails are due on the 16th met. by the Avon. There will be no departure on the 23d of this mouth from Southampton for the Brazilian ports, the steamer usually despatched by the Union Screw Collier Cpmpany having been withdrawn. The United State,' mail steam-ship Hermann, Capt. Higgins, with dates from New York to the Ist inst., is expected off Cowes, en route to Bremen, on Fr,day next. The steam ship Barcelona, from Barcelona, Malaga,Walencia, Alicante, Cadiz, Corunna, and Santander, is expected at South ampton about the 13th or 14th inst. The Royal tnaq steamer Parana will take out the West India and Pacific mails on the 17th iNst. FROM AMERICA TO ENGLAND Via. CANADA.--The ar rival of the Dean Richmond in England, direct from Chi cago has created sensation, but it is Dot . exactly true that she is the first vessel that has reached Great Britain from the interior lakes of Canada. Others, if our memory be accurate, have preceded her. A similar error mvails as to what steam vessel hasthe right to clainithe priority in making a Transatlantic voyage. Many award this honour to the Sirius, Capt. Roberts, .which arrived here the same day with the Great Western, Capt. Hoskin. The first British steamer crossed the Atlantic several years before either the Sirius or Great Western ; she was built in Quebec and called the Royal William, and was owned wholly or in part by Mr. Stevenson, of that city. This circumstance is still fresh in the minds of many per sons in the "ancient capital." But a. vessel having an auxiliary steam apparatus on board crossed the Atlantic many years before the Royal William even. She was owned in mad sailed froA New York shortly after the close of the war of 1812. We throw out these remarks in the hope that some person whose remembrance of such facts is bettor than ours will give the true statement, with the proper chronology of these important events in the history of navigation. The Canadian papers continue their warm eulogies on the line of steamers, and are na turally proud of their achievements. The only thing to be regretted is that the climate puts an end to their voy ages during the winter. Portland, which is an open port during the frosty months, will then receive them. Now, is an o p en port also during St. John, New Bruns wick, the winter. Why cannot the railroad project through New Brunswick be revived ? What of the St. Andrew's and Quebec railroad? Will some of our friends in that province enlighten us ?—Beeton, Anglo-Saxon. DISAPPEARANCE OF CHOLERA FROM MADEIRA.—By accounts received from Madeira we learn that cholera has left the island, and that the place is now happily re stored to its wonted condition of healthfulness. Visitors and invalids were already returning to the island for the purpose of enjoying its mild and genial climate during the winter. The food and clothing sent out by the London committee were being: carefully and judiciously distributed by a local committee, while the Government stores were issued to the distressed people under the direction of Staff -Surgeon Dr. Matthews and a purveyor of the Eneish army, with the guidance and advice of the consul, the principal merchants, and other influential persons on the island. The Governor, Brigadier-General Onneeirn, wae, as ha tr , q ! , een during the whole cnurse •; ~; directed aid has be en of incalculable value to those whom the epidemic bas made widows and orphans, and, indeed, to the Whole .of the destitute poor of the ielaad. LI I ERATURF. Maunder's Treasury of Geography. Continued and completed by William Hughes. I Vol. Longman and Company. A wonderful compilation. A marvellous bock —compacting together within the compass of 1,000 pages an unexampled store of geographic knowledge —Physical, Historical, Political, and De i3riptive. Commenced by the original designer of these cele brated worksofrofcrence, the late Samuel Maunder, the laborious and indefatigable compiler of so,v,ny inestimable Treasuries—the " Treasury of Know ledge," the "Treasury of Natural Hisory," the "Biographical Treasury," the "Historical Tre'a sury," the "Scientific and Literary Treasury " those portable and accessible repertories of Infor mation—this " Treasury of Geography," the crowning work of the series, the key stone of the arch, as it were, of Maurelor's classic and authori tative compilations—has at lenElth been, as far as any such work can be—perfected. It has been continued and completed, as the title-page intimates, by Wu': Hughes,F.R.G.S., author of a " Manual of Geo graphy," and recently Professor of Geography in the College for Civil Engineers. A gentleman of whom we might safely have predicated what the ' book before us positively and substantially testifies —namely, that he of all men is about the very one most singularly well calculated to prove in a labour of this remarkable kind, Samuel Maunder's not unworthy collaborateur. The " Treasury "as it now stands may take rank with the very best of its predecessors. It, is as complete in every way —as lucid in treatment —as admirable and symmetrical in the manner of its general arrangement. After a few "Introductory Re marks" explanatory of the precise uses and of the , proper character of a popular and practical digest of Geography —comes a succinct and rapid " Out line of the History of Geography." Thereupon follows an ethnological chapter upon the " Varie ties of Races and Languages," and an account of the successive peopling of the world's chief conti nents—the three great continents of the old or east ern hemisphere. Subsequently, we have a beautiful treatise, delineative, of " The Earth," its form and magnitude I. Followed, in due course, by an exquisitely graphic account of the diurnal and annual motions of this our globe, as well as of those of her sister planets. Afterwards the reader, or more strictly speaking the consulter of " Matinder's Treasury of Knowledge "—for productions of this particular class are designed to be dipped into rather than to be perused consecutively page after page from Preface to Appendix—afterwards, we say, the consulter of the " Treasury of Knowledge " has unfolded to him in the form of a separate section the astonishing " Principles of Physical Geo graphy," as regards the Land, the Water, and the Atmosphere. Then come the six grand divisions of the book as a work of reference—.complete, and therefore comprehensive. I. EußorE—embracing under that head Great Britainwith its subdivisions of England, Wales, Scotland; Ireland : France viewed in regard both to its Provinces and its De partments; Belgium with its 4,500,000 inhabitants; Holland with its standing army of 20,000 ; Switzer • land with its burghs and cantons ; Austria with all h er vast foreign provinces, including Northern Italy, a huge portion of Poland, the whole of Bohemia, and the whole of Hungary ; Prussia beginning with Brandenburg and ending with Pomerania ; besides the smaller states of Germany, includine' the min or p r i nc i pa liti es ( not h ere wort h men ti on i n g), and with them Bavaria, Baden, Saxony, Hanover, and Wurtemburg ; Denmark, and with Denmark the twin provinces of Schleswig-Holstein ; Sweden and Norway, the Ching and Chang of Geographi cal Europe , to adopt Sir Edward Lytton's nomen clature ; ussia with her sixty millions of serfs under the heel of one irresponsible Despot; Turkey on the northern side of the Bosphorus; Greece with her "faineant" King and her degenerate people ; Italy, that mere geographical expres sion, according to Prince Metternich, embrac ing, within the compass, of the expression, Lom bardy, Sardinia, Tuscany, Naples, Sicily, Parma, Modena, and the Slates of the ,hurcli ; Spain, with her mockery of a Constitution, and Portugal, with her stripling sovereign. IL ASIA follows, as a matter of course, next iu order to us Europeans. Asia subdivided into—the Asiatic portion' of Tur key • the Asiatic portion of R uss i a • J apan —Chi na —Arabia— Turkestan Persia—hindostan—aff ghanistan Beloochistan Burmah— Siam—An nam—and the East Indian Archipelago. India reticulating, so to speak, into Ceylon, the Protected States, the Independent States, and the three reat Presidencies—those of Bengal, Madras, and Cal cutta. 111. AFRlCA—besides the Coasts to the West and the East ; besides the impenetrable Cn,- tral part of it; besides the Islands; besides the Sahara, and Egypt, and Nubia, and Abyssinia— treats of South Africa, meaning the Cape Colony, Natal, and Caffraria, and of North Africa, or, as it is otherwise termed, Barbary, signifying Mo rocco, Algeria, Tripoli, and Tunis. IV. AMERICA —in reference to the North' and the South— " North America" embracin g Canada, the United States, and Mexico, together with the West Indies, and such minor sections of that vast continent as _Newfoundland and the Hudson's Bay Territory—" South America," in cluding Venezuela—New Granada—La Plata— Ecuador Guiana Brazil Peru —Bolivia— ,)hili —and Patagonia. V. AusTßALlA—relating to both South Australia and western Australia to Aew South Wales —Victoria and Tasmania. Finally, VI. POLYNESIA—with its congeries or ganglion of Islands, great and small, barren and fruitful, inhabited and uninhabited, savage sale civilised. As in a very marked manner illustra tive of the boldness and distinctness of the politi cal opinions enunciated in this masterly com pilation, we may refer to those' expressed un der the head' of " France, " in relation to its present government. Due mention having been made of the transformation of the Repub lican fasces into the Imperial sceptre while grasped iu the strong right hand. of Napoleon 111. "If there be evil," says the ",Treasury," " in the present position of a great people, subject to the strictness of military rule, and dependent in great, measure upon the will of a single individual, with restrictions upon tho free expression of opinion, whether by writing or by word of mouth, still there can be no doubt that they aro of less mouient than the opposite evils of democratic excess, and the certain results which would follow the triumph of Socialism." A copious and compre hensive "Index," alphabetically arranged, com pletes the value of this noble and unrivalled " Trea sury of Geography"—diminishing the labour of research to the student by rendering almost every separate atom of information compacted together in the volume under notice—instantaneously acces sible. A wonderful compilation, we repeat—one that can be perused - with pleasure and consulted with confidence. RUSSIAN FORTIFICATIONS IN THE BA --- • FRONTIERS OP FINLAND, Nov. I.—The experi ence of the late war has opened the eyes of Russia to the inadequacy of her coast defences, and shown how exposed are her frontiers in Finland, and how open to any attack on the seaboard from hostile fleets. During the war the Governor-General of Finland, Count, von Berg, was ordered to do his utmost to strengthen the existing coast defences, and sending in plans for constructing new naval fortresses iu the province under his command. The subject engrossed the attention of the late Emperor of Russia, and his repeated visits of in spection to the north are matters well known. Soon afterwards orders were given to build a strong fort on the island of Kasko, in the Gulf of Bothnia, commanding the entrance to a deep and spacious harbour, and destined to make good the loss ex perienced by the fall of Bomarsund. All along this line of coast for a distance of four hundred miles there were no fortified places. Brahe stad, Uleaborg, Christinenstad, Lowisa, `Vasa, and Carleby were only commercial ports, and it is only at Hango Head and the neighbouring Gustays vaern that any fortified works are to be found. In order to protect the coast for the future Russia has now decided on constructing five new fortresses, the preliminary arrangements for which have been made this summer, and the ground marked out. One of these is situated in the extreme northernly corner of the Gulf of Buy 'mitt, a very short distance from the frontier town of Tornea. The selection of the locality appears t o be well made and likely to answer the purpose for which i t is intended. and d e ricer promontoryLimie,lf flo of sd wsiuto a t n he gulf at thi s spot, o.Saari, wh en th e proposed batteries are erected, will sufficiently pro tect the entrance to a beautiful aid spacious har bour. As the soil all about the place is favourable for agriculture, and there are roads communicating with all parts of the interior, it is p ropose d to l ay out a new town, and by grantino• certain privileges and facilities it is expected that many settlers will be be attracted.

An influential meeting of noblemen and gentle men connected with Belfast and the adjoining counties was held on Friday, at the Royal Hotel, Belfast, for the purpose of promoting a speedy communication between the, northern portions of the two countries by a short sea transit for mails and passengers via Donaghadee and Portpatrick. The'Mayor of Belfast presided, and ammo' those who took a p a rt in the proceedings were Viscount Dalrymple, M.P., Lord Dularin, Mr. W. Shar man Crawford, homas M'Clure, Lieut.-Colonel Ferguson, &c. A general conversation ensued, and, in reply to a question, Lord Dalrymple stated that he had reason to know that, im mediately on the company obtaining their a.cts the Government would be prepared to undertake the necessary outlay upon the har bours at Portpatrick and Donaghadee. A sub scription was then eutered'into, and almost every ir leuileman present attached his name thereto, and. ' 'the total, including subscriptions previously re ' c‘ived in Belfast and neighbourhood, amounted to upwards of 80,000/. A committee was then ap pointed to obtain further subscriptions ; and, after passing resolutions, the meeting, which was l'inarked throughout by the greatest Unanimity ad _ _ . journed. 11 - Tue n.t rental of the land 4 posted for sale in the lacumbered Estates Court for the present month alone amounts to 27,0001. per annum. The Cork :reporter has the following particulars of a disastrous collision off the Cork eoast : About 4 o'clock on Tnursday m ;ruing a collision took place off Cape Clear, which. resulted in the total loss of me of the vessels', the schooner Mary Macklin, of this pert, Shea, master. The scholner, which was on its way to Cahirciveen, freighted by Burke Brothers, merchants this city, with a largo cargo of 'lndian corn, came in collision with the Mangerton l3teamer of Limerick, Bou chier, master, bound to London with a general cargo, and went down about half-past 12 o'clock, having floated for eight hours after the collision. It seems strange that the steamer made no efforts to run her aground in some pert durkg the interval. She picked off the crew, how ever, and dropped into Queenstown with them on Thurs day afternoon. The Mary Macklin was the joint pro perty of Mr. Henessy, deputy harbour master, and of Mrs. Paisley, widow of the late Mr. J. Paisley, of Pas sage. This is the second vessel which the Mangerton has run down. The gallant veteran, General Lord Gough, enter tained 150 of the tenantry of his Loughcooter estate, in the county of Galway, at a hospitable feast fast week. The remains of the late Earl of Brandon were consigned to their last resting place with all, doe, solemnity on Friday last. MISS FOLLY MAhSHALL. In the fettilleton of the Courrier des Etat Unis, published on the 13th ult., at New York, there appears the following enthusiastic tribute of ad miration to one of the youngest of our old London favourites—Miss Polly Marshall—a pretty little light comedian, whcso glancing feet and sparkling eyes have already justified our predictions of their glamour to the full, by winning the heart of Brother Jonathan with the mere force of their capriciousbut irresistible fascination !—"I suppose you know her, thiS griskte, this soubrette, this coquette, this plump, sparkling, roguish, little one ! She whose name is made for her, and who is made for her named For how , otherwise could you call her than Polly ? Polly is in her every linea ment! And; when that is said, you divine at once that the glance of her merry eye is side-long, that her nose is just the least bit in the world turned-up (what we call retrousse), that her mouth is laugh ing, that her face is dimpled, that her boddiee is voluptuously proportioned, that the skirt of her ample dress is piquantly looped up at the Waist, that her feet are daintily ' peaked ' upon heels of scarlet morocco ! I know not if she is pretty, but I am quite sure shEs is most charming, and that she keeps you.in a state of delight with a word, a a look, a movement, the merest nothing ! Shp laughs to admiration, and weeps to distraction. And, beyond all this, she knows so well how to attire herself !—a merit so rare, so very rare, in our American theatres ! Her head-dress alone has about it a jaunty air that provokes apiiliuse upon the instant, and from %head to foot the rest other costume is in perfect keeping. Best of all, however, is the circumstance that under all this, , under the superficial graces of person, toilet, voice, gesture, and deportment, there are evidences of a talent most real,of inspirations most happy,of comic powers most gay, original, and delightful. HOne,... Stl Y I know nothing more exhilarating in its way tu* :" f to see her take part with Burton in the farce Twice Killed. To a itness their joint patformanco in it, is to die of laughing not twice, but a dozen times I Each has experience of somewhat the sam e emotions, but each gives expresmion to those com mon emotions after a fashion the most ludicrously dissimilar. And the result is a medley of frights, of dissimulations, of embarrassments, of tears, o laughter, of agonies of dread and of explosions of joy, beginning with the very beginning of the piece and ending only with the fall of the curtain. If you really desire to draw a fund of delight from Mr. Burton's establishment, take every care to choose an evening upon which you find the name of Polly Marshall. on the playbills—and m ind, above all things, that you are not dilatory in you r attendance at the doors, for upon those very nish ts the house contrives somehow to be crowded t o suffocation !" . T.as THAATRES. DRURY-LANE. The very great success of the recent series of Italian operas has induced the lessee of this theatre, in conjuve• tion with Messrs. Beale and Co., to give another series, which began last night. There is this difference , however, in the scheme, that Mr. Smith makes use Of his own regular company, in order to add Eng Hob aft-rpieces to the Italian performances. The Italian company is tho sams as before, with the valuanle addition of Madame Rudersdorff, and the sub traction of Mario—the great tenor having gone to fulfi l his engagement at Parb , . Reichardt, we believe, is t 0 appear immediately, and some other rcinforcements are tallied of. The entertainments of last night were " Norma," followed by " Little Taddlekitiß," with Charles Mathews in his amusing and favourite character, and a divertissement: "Norma" was performed as be• fore, the parts bein , Y su,tamed by Grisi, Sedlatzek , Lorini, and Formes. Grisi sang and acted as finely el ever, and the whole performanca was excellent an d successful. Hi.,XMARKET.

Miss Rey' colds was, of course, Lady Teazle ; and she delineate d exceedingly well the lady of quality, who skims 011 the borders of criminality without actually wetting her wing. Mr. Howe performed Joseph Surface With sufficient smoothness ; Mr. Rogers was decisive in S ir Oliver ; Mr. Clark laughable as Moses ; Mr. Brai d ,aucy as Trip ; and Mr. Buckstone, as Sir Benjamin Backbite ; and Mr. Compton, as Crabtree, made up the, effect. Miss Talbot was a very charming Mrs. Candour I and Mrs. Poynter a very acrid Lady Sneerwell. The house was well attended, and the performanc e was much enjoyed and approved. MONDAY BVENING CONCERTS. These concerts are great iv improved since their trans' fereoce to St. Martin's Hall. The programme of las t night's concert might have suited the west musical an' dienco in London.

The vocal performers were Madame fir. Frodsham, Miss M. Huddart, Mr. Alfred Pierre, 31 , r ' O'Hara, and Mr. Marryatt. Between the parts of t he concert there was a dramatic reading by Mr. Adolphus Francis. He read almost the whole of the third a ct n t ' "Othello," and acquitted himself very respectably ; b at his his performance was too long, and excited a good Lte 3l in:patience.
