Sun Office, 112, Strand. ft- I'l It is needless to adduce any arguments to prove -he great dearth of specie at this moment, both in France and England. Notwithstanding the ener getic efforts of the Directors of the quasi National 3anks in both countries, the drain still continues with unabated force, and it is impassible to say when the tide will turn, or the bullion which has departed from our shores can even partially be brought back. The exorbitant rate of interest must speedily paralyse industry. A stagnation in even the most legitimate operations of trade is inevitable. Production must cease, inasmuch as the absence of a circulating medium, adequate to the wants and exigencies of the nation, will pre vent the ordinary operations of credit by which such operations can alone be conducted ; and it even orders for our manufactures should be re ceived, they can scarcely be executed by those who are suffering, not from a. scarcity of capital (for despite the sinister statements of MEItCATOR that is abundant), but from a scarcity —we might say a famine—of currency to act as its measure and representative. Nor have we yet seen the worst part of the crisis. Although the rate of in terest is enormous, it is more than hinted that it will soon be increased. Although the nature of the security tendered is scrutinised with the most curious eye, it is more than probable that still more stringent regulations may be anticipated ; and then what will be the consequences, not only to the industrial portion of the country, but to all who have contracted obligations, which it will be difficult, if not impossible, to fulfil, under the altered state of affairs ? In France the money market is even more de pressed. The Bank has been compelled to sustain its own credit by pressing heavily on the sister establishment in this country, and moans have been resorted to in order to obtain a supply of bullion which can scarcely be regarded as legiti mate. Many sagacious and experienced men already predict an early suspension of sash payments, and the substitution of a paper for a metallic currency ; and it would be well br France if its Government would, while there is yet time, adopt sound and judicious measures for the purpose of economising the precious metals, by creating a circulating medium fully capable ,f transacting the domestic business of the coun ,ry, but which would not be available either for hoarding or exportation ! It is under such circumstances that a French Company, the "Credit Mobilier," has entered into a gigantic speculation, which will render the transfsr of bullion to the amount of some 43,000,0001. sterling, from France and England to Russia, within a limited period indispensable. That Company has obtained the concession, as it is termed, of a number of railways in Russia ; or, in other words, has undertaken to construct about 2,500 miles of railway in that country within a period of ten years, and to advance 43,000,0001. for that purpose. The whole of that money must, as we have already explained, be provided in gold and silver. It is ridiculous to suppose that it either can or will be taken in the manufactures of the Western States. Nothing but " hard cash" will be accepted ; for it will be the policy, no less than the desire of the CZAR, to enforce the con tract, however ruinous it may prove to the parties concerned : so that the project, if fully carried into execution, must prove highly disastrous ; for although the capital may be ample, the currency is manifestly inadequate. It is certain that the Credit Mobilier does not for a moment contemplate locking -up its own capital in the vast undertaking. It is only the agent, hoping to realise sufficient funds from the communities of both nations. Should the shares be quoted and sold at pre miums, it will gain considerable profits, but it does not for a moment contemplate a permanent investment, nor care for the misery and destitu tion which may follow the wild and reckless spe. culation. A very easy calculation will show, that, like the razors of the itinerant vendor, the shares are constructed for sale, not for use. Persons seeking high interest may nibble at the tempting bait, but should they do so they will, have speedy cause to lament in sackcloth and ashes their un fortunate credulity. It might be thought that they had already sufficient warnings to render even the most sanguine cautious, that the painful lessons already received. would prevent such des perate gambling. But it is impossible to estimate the extent of public gullibility, or the lengths to which parties may proceed in the too eager pur suit of speedily acquired wealth. It is, therefore, an imperative duty on the public journalists to uplift their voices—aud again, and again usque ad nauseam., iraprese upon the people the folly the wickednes s , nay, more, the certain loss that must result, from any participation in the trans action. This is the more necessary, as it is said that agents are already busily engaged in trying to iniroduce the new scrip into our own money awakes, and that it is hoped that the greater po.r- Jon of the money may be obtained from the pockets of Englishmen. It is palpable that the bullion must be obtained from us, for even before the speculation above alluded to had been entered into a leading firm had contracted to supply gold to the value of 140,000,000 f., or 5,600,000/, to the Bank of France. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBEh 10, '1856 We cannot remember the time when the Church was not in danger. Just before our entrance on public life she had enjoyed a long and peaceful slumber. She had had an unquiet time of it dur ing Presbyterian ascendancy, and JAMES 11. gave her a year or two's uneasiness ; but from that time to the horrid days of WHITFIELD and WESLEY most happily did she doze and slumber, and slum ber and doze. Dissenters during that long inter vel troubled her not ; they were either too re spectable, retaining among them some titled sece ders, who suffered no insults to their venerated mother, or too weak, and glad by extra courtesy to country squires and magistrates, to atone for the guilt of nonconformity. The popularity of the two great field preachers of the last century did not at first disturb ecclesiastical repose ; both were sons of the Church, had taken her orders, used and even attended her services, and, while denouncing unworty priests, never attacked the altar which they served. Yet soon after the Church began to be alarmed. The French Revolution set all the Radicals against priests of every description. This, however, only roused the bishops and clergy to triumphant wrath. There was no easier way to devote any over-zealous reformer to Church or State to a mob auto de fe than by pronouncing him a Jacobin. The mob was as serviceable to the Church then as it is just at this moment to the domestic institution of our American cousins. The great danger began when two denominations, separated by their opinions on ono point only, the Baptists and Independents, awakened from their s'umbers by the successes of WHITFIELD and WES LEY, began to push their opinions and to make proselytes among the middle classes. Their church government is strictly republican. The Memoirs of JEFFERSON mention that that statesman ob tained his first conceptions of the federal union of independent states from what he observed in churches of the Baptist communion. One prime article of their creed, and that of the Inde pendents also, is, that each of their churches is a complete sovereign organisation, amenable to no external authority, and every member having equal votes. Endowments, even by individuals, were soon found to be adverse to this out-and-out republicanism ; and voluntaryism has long be come their avowed reliance. Their independence was guaranteed by each member being alile to diminish the Means of any usurper or invader of their libertie s , by withdrawing his quota from the € l llll.ch treasury. Ne,w, as advanced liberals ourselves, we must do these twin sects the justice to acknowledge their services to the great cause of freedom. Whatever a man's religious principles, it is cer tain that they materially modify his conceptions of government and politics. How few High Churchmen fail of being good Tories also. Im plicit obedience to the Rector and the Diocesan, issue in a tendency to quiet submission to the powers that be. On the other hand, the sects we have adverted to, distinguished by a purely republican church polity, have hardly a Tory among them. He is quite a black sheep where he is to be found. When the Anti- State Church Association was proved, which held its meeting under a new name on Thursday, so far as we could ascertain the active men belonged almost exclusively to these bodies, and we are informed that to this day it numbers but a few Churchmen, Wesleyans, Presbyterians, or even Catholics amongst its prominent agents. We believe public atttention has been directed to this fact, for a fact we believe to be, hitherto. The Hon. Rev. Baptist W. NOEL no sooner became the minister of a Baptist Chapel, than he publishedat once a large octavo, and, we are told, a rather vigorous attack against the union of Church and State. It has been the same with other seceding clergymen who have joined these ecclesiastically republican Dissenters. It is plain that at length they have succeeded in gaining for their favourite principle of volun taryism, the respectful attention of respsct table Members of Parliament. Mr. MIALLS motion on the Irish Church last session, though avowedly based on the voluntary principle, obtained upwards of 120 votes in its favour. And both out of Parliament and in it, such men as Mr. GLADSTONE and Lord StANLEY, from there very different points of view, have in dulged in very strong encomiums on voluntaryism. The abolition of protection in so many forms, and the overpowering evidence that self• dependence has augmented surprisingly the energies of com merce, has also been much in favour of the volun taries. They chime in with the popular senti ment by representling State Endowment as pro tection, and - Voluntaryism as free trade in re ligion ; and thousands who would give no head to a theological dispute, attend when the creed of the day is invoked. The abolition of the Clergy Reserves iu Canada, and the general deter mina- Lion of the, colonies to do away with State grants for religious purposes, must also have an influence on the mother country. • To all this has to be added to the results of the religious census; no t merely was it proved that one half th e worsh i ppers in the kingdom did support their o wn worship ; but even the prodi gious chureh building efforts of the last fecv Iyears have been voluntary efforts—efforts, too, the results of which have stood in marked con ' tract with the little effected, byGovernment grants, for the same object. Thousands of Churchmen bavo been taught, by the best of all teachers, how much more they could do for their Church than they had thought they could. The success of the Free Church in Scotland, of Popery in Ireland, and the total failure of our wealthy Establishment there, have all come in support of the new danger to the Church. Perhaps Mr. SPOONER has helped , the Dissenters sia much a 3 any on.!.

The Voluntaries have certainly chosen for attack an institution which no Statesman can defend on its own merits, but which yet seems a valuable sup port to the Establishment here. It is commencing to demolish the building by first battering a shaky though by no means unimportant buttress. A morning contemporary, of which a year or two ago it was supposed L)rd J. RUSSELL had, for political purposes, become part proprietor, now comes forward with a proposal which, it is to be hoped, the Premier will entertain as it deserves ; no less, in sooth, than that "JOIINNY who upset the coach" shall be pitchforked from the obscurity of the back benches, to which pique and vaulting ambition have consigned him, to the Ministerial forerank in the Lords ! No doubt the Noble Lord has done good service to his country in his day, but the last services his Lordship rendered weze " to upset the coach" and walk arm-in -arm, metaphorically as well as literally, with Prince GORTSOHAROFF at Vienna. The country has not forgotten this, and were the Premier to listen to the suggestion of our contemporary, instead of adding strength to his Ministry he would intro duce an element of suspicion and peril. The attitude of Russia at the present moment would add greatly to the impolicy of a selection from which in any case no pos sible good can be' anticipated. But a short period would be allowed to elapse before his Lordship would be found "at his old trick again," leaving the Premier to repent his ill-advised good a iture at his leisure. " Sorry sight," therefore, as it may be to see his Lordship wasting another session on the back benches, with the Liberal party in power, it is but the penalty of his own misdeeds, and he must make the best of it, The Liberal party is not so weak as to be unable to furnish whatever accession of ministerial strength may be required in the Lords, without having recourse to aid which would everywhere be re garded with suspicion. The Noble Lord is "used up " for Ministerial purposes, and the best thing he can do is to redeem the past by illuminating the shade of the back benches with th• lustre of public services independently ren dered, without looking for any further reward than " the testimony of a good conscience." His Lordship's case is not hopeless, "sorry" as the "sight" may be. He has but to wash in the waters of repentance to be clean—in his present opacity. Lord PALMERSTON can hardly afford to have his coach upset just now. ELECTION OF MAYOR OF BAT 7. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) Robert Cook, Esq., was this day (Monday), unanimously elected Mayor of Bath.

LATEST NEWS. MARSEILLES, SUNDAY. The English expedition sailed on the 30th October, from Bombay. The Imaum of Mu9cat will furnish us with reinforcements and pro- visions. By advices from Constantinople of the 30th we learn that the Cressy and Desperate have arrived to reinforce Lord Lyons. The St. Jean d'Acre is expected. Austria has succeeded in pacifying Montenegro, The question of replacing the Cahnakan of Wal lachia by Prince Samos-Ghika is again rais3d. HANOVER, Nov. 9. The Chambers have been dissolved by royal decree. A general election will take place. The new Chambers will be convened for the 10th of February, 1857. The Vienna correspondent of the Times (se• cond edition), says : " It is related in diplomatic circles that on tli t e very day on which Count de Morny received a hint from his master not to do any business' as long as he remained in Russia, he•sold the splen did carriage which he had used at the Coronation to the Emperor Alexander for 60,000 f. No guarantee can be given for the correctness of the foregoing piece of information, but it was related to me as a positive fact, and does not appear improbable. The Austrians ask whether Lord Granville or Prince Esterhazy would have consented to sell his State carriage to the Monarch to whom he had been sent on an extra ordinary mission, and the reply to the question is almost always in the negative. In this part of the world people have never had a very high opinion of the great majority of those persons who are around the Emperor Napoleon, but during the last two or three months they have lost all confidence in thew. If an alliance with Russia were likely to be of advantage to the Emperor Napoleon there would be some little excuse for the conduct of his official advisers, but it is here be lieved that some of them make all other conside rations subservient to their own private interests." NEW ALLIANCES. In an article entitled " Naw Alliances," whisk is in the Frankfort Post Zeitang of the 4th, it is said that tie Bund ought to give its entire sup port to Austria and England, but the writer has ,little confidence in Prussia. Ile speaks of the peace of Tilsit, and recals to the recollection of Prussia the disastrous consequences of that treaty, but he evi dently feels that the Berlin Cabinet is likely to take advantage of the favourable opportunity which now presents itself for being revenged on Austria. Prince Schwarzenberg, the late Austrian Minister, made Baron Von Manteuffel " eat so much dirt" in 1851, and that statesman has been excessively bilious ever since. It is positively known here that Prussia gives her support to Russia and France in the matter of the withdrawal of the English and Austrian forces from the Turkish territory, and it is believed that she approves the refusal of Russia to cede New Bolgrad. On the Ist the Grand Duchess Alexandra, the wife of the Grand Duke Constantine, who is of the family of Saxe-Altenburg, arrived at Berlin. THE KING OF NAPLES. The Naples correspondent of the Oest. Zietung writes that the King now appears inclined to make some slight concessions. The expected amnesty is likely to be delayed for a few days, as some alter ations are to be made in the royal decree "in favour of the prisoners." It is related that the Duke of Calabria, the eldest son of the King of Naples, will meet the Emperor and Empress of Austria at Venice. It is whispered in some private circles, which are generally well informed, that his Majesty has relinquished all idea of going to Milan, but he will certainly go to Venice and Verona, and that on the 17th of this month. The Frankfort and Berlin papers inform the public that the Political Committee of the German Confederation has pronounced in favour of the motion which was made by Prussia on Thursday, 30th October, but (says a letter just received from Vienna) the news is only partially correct. On the Ist Nov. the Committee recommended the Bund to intercede in favour of the Royalist pri soners in Neuchatel, and to accede to the London Protocol of May 24, 1852, but it ignored that part of the proposition of the representative of Prussia in which it was the question of the employment " of more serious measures" if the Swiss Confede ration should remain obdurate. The Zeit, a Prussian Ministerial organ, an nounces that a magnificent team of Trakelmer horses has been sent by the King of Prussia to the Emperor of the French, and adds, that his Majesty has already received presents of value from Louis Napoleon. The Wiener Zietung announces that all the members of the European Danubian Commission are assembled at Glalatz. The Neue Wurzburg Zeitung, which every now and then picks up a picco of authentic informa tion, contains the following "We learn that some weeks since France and Russia entered into a binding engagement relative to the line of conduct to be observed on the fol lowing questions :—The Danubian Principalities and their future re-organisation ; the new Mol davian frontier and the prolongation of the occu pation of the Principalities and of the Black Sea." RUSSIAN RAILWAYS. Thefollowing information, which is from Baron von Reden's Russian Statistics, will be of interest to those who wish for information relative to the projected railroads : G 1. S. Petersburg-Diinaburg-Wila-Warscbau e rman Miles, part open since October, 1853) ......... 144 2. Mi•ecow-Wiasma-Smolensk-Miusk-Wila... 128 3. DUnaburg-Rica ................................. 30 4.

That from St. Petersburg to Zarskoe-Selo (171 E ng li s h miles). 2. From Warsaw to Cracow (200 English miles). 3. From St. Petesburg to Moscow (about 428 English miles). The average cost of the St. Petersburg-IVlosccrw railroad was 78,0001. for rather less than five English miles. THE RUSSIAN ARMY. The Oesterreichische Zeitung learns from Ralisch that for many years the military force in Russian Poland has not been so small as is now the case. The whole army does not consist of more than 60,000 men, and it is not likely to be reinforced until klie price of provisions has fallen in Poland. The great bulk of the Russian army is in Podolia an 1 Volbynia. In Southern Russia, where there wa3 formerly nothing 1; cavalry, there is now the whole, of the second army corps, with its head-quarters at llharkoff. When the war com menced there was but one division in the Crimea, but now there are three. The correspondent con eludes by remarking that in respect to Turkey the attitude of Russia is more " commandiLg " than before. THE RUSSIAN NAVY. According to the Treaty of Peace, Russia is only to have a certain number of vessels of war is the Black Sea, but the new Steam Navigation Company will have 2G post . steamers, six,other steamers, 10 tug steamers, and 20 " barks." The crews of these vessels are to have the same uniform and discipline as the sailors who aro in the Imperial service. Materiel of war has been taken by the Perun to Sebastopol, and five tran sports have conveyed troops to Suchum Kaleh. CANADA. We have been favoured with the following tele graphic despatch brought by the Persia : " MON TR CAL, OCT. 28. " The railway was opened yesterday, the 27th of October, from Montreal to Toronto. The dis tance was performed in 14 hours." FRANCE " PARIS, SUNDAY. "The Emperor and the Empress arrived at 4 o'clock at Paris, and have left for St. Cloud. " Their Majesties visited on Saturday the Salle d'Asile, and the hospital at Compiegne. They met with the warmest welcome from the population." The Debats, in commenting upon the address of Lord Palmerston at Manchester, hopes that, in the words of the Premier, "as the peace of Europe de pends en the fidelity with which Russia performs the conditions of the Treaty of Paris," that " the English Government will carry into the execution of this treaty the spirit of conciliation and. good faith, and the respect for justice and right by which it demands Russia to regulate her conduct !" The Siecle's article, headed "La question qui s'egite," is as follows : " Although this question has lost much of its importance in consequence of the conciliatory de claration in the Moniteur, we must address a last word to our adversaries. There is an old aphor ism, that to understan3 persons aright you must fancy yourself in their position. We shall briefly describe the position which our opponents would impose upon England. Let it be supposed that we, France, had remained in the Crimea and the Black Sea, and that Russia did not execute the Treaty of Paris. Would we consent to delegate the execution of that treaty to a congress ? Would we consent to raise our camps and withdraw our vessels Would there be found a single public journal that would dare to advocate such weakness, such an abandonment of all prudence and all dig nity ? Assuredly not. Everybody in France would say with one consent—' We are in the Black Sea, let us remain there till the treaty is executed. Let us not run the risk of having to undertake a new sxpedition.' But because it is England, and not ourselves, that is in this position, can we ask her to do what we would not do if we were in her place ? That is neither just nor reasonable, and we feel persuaded that after the first surprise, after having better considered the question, those who - have taken the warmest part against England will not persist in condemning her to pass under the yoke of an European judgment, when she is only acting within the letter of the treaties. For the rest, the very moderate way in which the Moniteur, in few words, explains the nature of the difference will doubtless have more influence in calming our contemporaries than the remon strance which we addressed to them the day before yesterday. Inorder to excite public opinion against our allies of Inkerman and Sebastopol, the parti sans of the Russian alliance confound two moral situations essentially different. They assimilate England to Austria. In the first place, the intimate alliance between England and Austria, which is held up as a fact., in order to throw odium upon the English government, can only be believed in by those who forget everything when influenced by their passions. There is no serious politician in Europe who does not know the terrible war which. Lord Palmerston has waged against Austria, and of the steady reprisals made by Austrian diplomat ists. Celebrated books have been written before this hand-to:hand duel, and this is all we need say to those who circulate the rumour of an alliance between Lord Palmerston and the government whose publicist was the Count de Fiquelmont. In the next place, the moral situation of England and Austria' in the East are not the same. Aus tria is not in the Principalities by the same original title that England is in the Black Sea. Austria did not fight. She does not occupy the Princi palities by virtue of a victory, but in pursuance of a private treaty between her and the Porte, made long prior to the treaty of Paris the Treaty of Paris merely fixed the period for her evacuation of these territories, in vague terms, aussitot que faire so pourra (Art. 31), and added that the period was to be arranged between her and the Porte. England, on the contrary; occupies no territory. She had ships in the Black Sea when Sebastopol was taken ; she keeps them there, and unless the Porte for mally calls upon her to withdraw them, she is perjectly justified in leaving them there as long as she fears for Turkey. This consideration reminds us 'to supply an omission made by many of those writers who have . pronouncedagainst England, and who are now called to moderation by the Moniteur in the person of the Constitutionnel. They com pletely forget that after the Treaty of Paris there was another treaty called the treaty of guarantee. Now this treaty, concluded on April 15, stipulates: " Art. 1. The high contracting parties jointly and separately guarantee the independence and integ rity of theOctoman empire laid down in the treaty concluded at Paris the 30th March, 1856. Art. 2. Any infraction of the stipulations iof the treaty will be considered by the undersigned powers as a casus ielli. They will come to au understanding with the Sublime Porte as to the measures which may have become necessary, and will without delay arrange between themselves the employment to be made of their naval and military forces." h a d our adversaries read the first article of the Treaty of Paris, they would have seen that it is not a ques tion of a new Congress. Each power guarantees the integrity of the Ottoman Empire, not only jointly with the other powers, but also s e p ara t e l y. This is cl ear l y expressed. Moreover, the word "separately" involves each power to the extent of its guarantee. England has not only guaranteed that integrity in concert with France and Austria; it has likewise guaranteed it alone, and France and Austria are in the same po sition. England does not require our con sent to remain in the Black Sea, nor should we require hors in order to proteCt the Ottoman em pire from any danger that might arise. We repeat that the partisans of the Russian alliance have purposely rendered this question obscure. Not only have they sought to cast odium on the conduct of England, but they have caused the French press to lose from view the exact notion of the rights conferred on France by treaties. They have' mis led the public. When we seek to re-establish the, truth, it is solely in the interest of our country, which may find itself one of these days in the posi tion of England. The treaty of guarantee allows to each power the right of separate guarantee. This right is ours ; why therefore refuse it to Eng land ? We have been reproached with exaltation. Nevertheless, we reason with moderation, and we appeal to the common sense •f the public. Let those journals which abuse us enter into a more isainute study of the question ; they 'will dis cover their error. . . . We maintain wha t we have said respecting the secret intentions of the ultra -conservatives of Europe, and on the necessity of the firmest alliance between France and Englanc —a genuine alliance ' in which each power will preserve its lib er t y o f action and sovereign inde pendence. The boldness of the reactionists renders this alliance more than ever necessary. Since t 6 peace, we have witnessed the attempt at Neucha tel, the circular of Prince Gortschakoff, the resist ance of the King of Naples, the royalist revolution in Spain. These events should teach us prudence, for either they have no signification, or they are the forerunners of others. The intimate union on a footing of equality . of the two great western nations can alone conjure the danger. The j ssemblee, replying to yesterday' s ar ti c l e i s the Siecle, objects that it has inaccurately cited the articles of the treaty of April 15, which, according to the text published by the Annuaire des Deux Mondes, st high contracting p ar ti es guarantee nce of the Ot toman emp i re, theat that not " jointly and separately," as the Siecle says. but solidarity (solidairement). This argument cf the Assembles, however, amounts to nothing, for solidairement means jointly and separately. ..m..., A Paris correspondent of the Independance of Brussels writes :—" There i s no foundation in the reported journey of Prince Napoleon to the East. The visit of the prince to the court of Wirtemberg had, it is said, for principal object a matrimonial alliance, there being some idea of a union between kis Imperial Highness and one of the daughters s f the Duke of Leuchtenberg and of , the Grand Duchess Maria of Russia." THE QUi..4..RTERLIES The North British Review. No. LL—Decidedly the most elegant, the most instructive, and the most original contribution we have seen for many a long day in the Quarterlies is the one adorning this November number of the North British Re view, in relation to the exquisite and marvellous Science of Optics. "Sight, and how to See," is its title—the title of a paper evidently penned not merely by a master of the beautiful subject of which it treats, but by one who has entered upon its examination with a reverent sense of the myste ries impenetrable to mortal ken—those awful and affecting attestations of a Power beyond the reach of human co mprehension—attestations of that Su preme Power meeting us, in an inscrutable aspect, at every turn in the manifold mazes of the grand and intricate labyrinth of Natural Philosophy. Un fathomable mysteries —mysteries that baffle the apprehension of the most astute investigators- - masteries leaving the greatest sages of wh o m the world has record standing bewildered and awe stricken, as Newton humbly acknowledged him; self to be—like a child picking up shells and pebbles upon the Shores of the great Ocean of Truth ! Such incomprehensible mysteries, for example, as the spleen, is to the anatomist—as parturition is to the physiologist —as germination , is to the botanist—as life is to the pyschologist -- ; as comets are to th e as t ronomer. Precisely one 01. these inscrutable and ineffable mysteries is th e retina to the opti c i an —th at i nnermost core a n d ultimate channel of vision, of the nature of which opticians know just as little as astronomers knout' of "comets," or psychologists of " life," or botanist!! of "germination," or physiologists of "parturition , or anatomnts of the " spleen. ' About the chain and interest of this eminently graceful and attract' tive treatise upon "Sight," in the IVorth British, we should, had we either space or leisure for so doing, be tempted to dilate at some length to our heart' s c on t ent, and as we doubt 10". it would prove also to our reader's satisfaction . As it is, we are perforce driven to the other branch of,the alternative—that of briefly but earnestly commending the attention of the curious to th e article itself in its original entirety—promising them through ith p erusa l no or di nary amount of either information or entertainment.

THE LATE MR. BRETTELL. PARIS, Saturday.—We mentioned two or thre e days since that some friend s o f th e l a t e M r . Alfred C.

Mr. Brettell was e gentleman of large fortune, amounting, as a° 11 2 7. say, to 60,0001., an d as others say, to 1.00,0 k The whole of this fortune is understood to be left to an English lady, now in Paris, who was no re; lation to the deceased. He was in a bad s tate el body, owing to intemperate habits, and d appear- , that he was shaken and inju re d a go - o l deal by the fall from the box of his carr i age , whl l, occurred, not at Chantilly, as stated by re, l3 ; take, but on the Lamarche race-course. le; that accident he was taken h ome an d p l ace d u nder, the care of his ordinary medical attendant, DZ' M'Carthy, an English subject, but a licensed main; ber of the French Faculty of Medicine. no g9„-s considerably better, and Dr. M'Carthy did not consider him in any immediate danger.
