She brings news, little enough to be sure, up to the 3d, and on the 4th the President was to deliver his Message. Perhaps it may after all be very much like our Queen's speeches in one respect, that all its points will have been anticipated. Money and men will almost certainly be its two great demands; but we need not expect any details of warlike plans. High ground will doubtless be taken, but the when and the where of action will be left in the minds of General SCOTT and the Pre sident. We are only told that there is much uncer tainty and speculation respecting the administration not making any fotward movement, those who are on the spot therefore do not seem to have much the advantage of us. The North is feeling the effect of the war doubly. It has to pay heavily, and business is at a standstill. The banks of New York have es larger amount of specie in hand than they ever had—upwards of £8,000,000. The consequence is that the war fever is somewhat less hot, or at least there are lucid intervals. A correspondent of a contemporary writes :—" The stars and stripes' wave in New York in as great profusion as ever, bnt there certainly are signs of the war enthusiasm abating. People are as patriotic as they were e a month ago, but the voice of reason is beginning to make itself heard, and many of the Northern journals are beginning to dare to hint that le jeu ne vaut pas la chandelle.' The candle is alight at both ends, for while thou sands of men are ender arms, supported at an enor mous expense, the working men who remain have too often no work to do and no bread to eat. In Baltimore the greatest distress prevails. In Phila delphia a monster meeting of working men has been held, at which it was stated that 5,000 able bedied men are out of employment. One of the speakers said, We have men in our midst who have not tasted meat for months—men who have not received. two meals a day for months.' " In New i lone tis almost as bad ; though such numbers have enliited there is great want of em ployment, and Irople are anticipating that actual war, at td winter will make things yet worse. The Democratic press is also again taking heart in pro portion as the inconveniency of . wa Their journals protr est egin "thats t o i f tell th e on the ',people. Union is to be continued it can onlybebtyhrow the voluntary' cons ent of its members ;" they the blame of the present state of affairs on "the exercise of unconstitutional p owers by the' present chief magistrate." They eons demn the Morrill tariff as " enriching the few at the expense of many." They say that the war, the standing army, and the tariff are "de structive to the liberties and material interests of the Northern States ;" and that " the attempt to muzzle - the Democratic press by mobs and tertorism, to prevent citizens from expressing their honest opinione, calls for, and deserves, the strongest con demnation of every true friend of liberty and order." Probably the South is not better off than the North in respect to the military qualifications of its sol diers and officers, but the North certainly appears to need ail the time General SCOTT is taking to per fect its drill. Here is the account of an eye-witness: " In spite of the very large number of troops round Washington, there was hardly ever a brigade field-day. On several occasions three or four corps were assembled for inspection by the Preside nt ; but I only once succeeded in seeing a regula!, brigade drill which resulted in the most hopeless club' I ever witnessed, and I have had the plea.su: !e of assisting at some very complete ones nearer Lome. Every one seemed to have got into a stute of utter confusion, and a few hundred cavalry might have done what they pleased withtlicm. I t is not the fault of the men; they have picked up their drill, as far as it goes, with wonderfrd quickness, but many of the officers are disßracefully inefficient. Hence arise bitter complaints on the part of the men. When they find that their officers cannot go through', a few simple ma vements correctly, they are notliksly _..,~.~. to have atuChconfidence jthem in the field. In many of the regiments the very worst, feeling against their commanders prevails; and in action, without confidence in their commanders, they are certain to be unsteady. Finer material for soldiers; if they were decently commanded, could be found nowhere." We saw a few days ago that the South could give no better account, not, indeed, so good a one of the companies it was sending north from the Mississippi, and the best conclusions we can draw from all the accounts we have noticed, is that the Southerners will not equal General SCOTT'S men, at present, in field operations, while behind batteries it is plain that they have fought with considerable skill and courage. Money will doubtless be even scarcer in the South than in the North. They will be unable to turn their stocks into money at all. Our readers will see, in a very interesting letter from the South, an account of a a planter on a princely scale who has no chance whatever of converting the vast produce of his 6,000 acres of land. And we remark by the way that they will be interested in the impartial descriptions of negro slavery in Mr. RUSSELL'S letters. Southern hospitality, and meeting with kind masters do not alter his English perceptions. The mirth of the free feathered tribes suggested to him the sadnesss of the bondsman. When my eyes," he says, " uncurtained the early morning" I might have imagined myself in the magic garden of Cherry and Fair Star, so incessant and multifarious were the carols of the birds, which were the only happy coloured people I saw in my Southern tour, notwithstanding the assurances of the many ingenious and candid gentlemen who attempted to prove to me that the palm of terrestrial felicity must be awarded to their negroes." It seems dismally appropriate upon a drenching ST. SWITHIN'S to have occasion to comment upon one of the wettest• reviews that even the Devil's Own has had experience of since the inauguration of the Volunteer Movement. Saturday, the 13th of July, having now been thoroughly soaked into the memory of our Riflemen on Wimbledon Common, will not very speedily, we should imagine, be lost to their recollection. Yet, full of discomfort though the day itself must have been to the various corps there collected together, the result of the day must be allowed to have been eminently satisfactory nevertheless. It has brought to a dripping con clusion certainly, but also, it must be allowed, to a very brilliant close as well, the whole of the lengthened and interesting proceedings connected with the great annual meeting of the National Rifle Association. And as if in indication that 1861 is really to be regarded as an advance upon 1860—the crack rifle shot of last year has this year come off second best. It is very probable that Mr. Ross in his recent contest should have been labouring under grievous disadvantages. It is just possible that he may not have met with the generous and manly fairplay which was certainly due to that keen-eyed, firm handed young Rifleman—though in regard to the rumoured lack of this fairplay towards him, we are sanguine that the account ex tracted into our ',impression of Saturday from the columns of a northern contemporary, the Edinburgh Courant, may prove, upon further inquiry, to have been, in some measure, founded upon error, or, at any rate, greatly exaggerated. However the facts may be, in other particulars, in the instance of Mr. Ross, the Rifle Champion of England last year— Rifle Champion of England now no longer—it must assuredly be regarded as little short of the miraculous if—while suffering (as it is stated that he was suffering) from inflammation of the eyes, particularly from inflammation of the right eye, inflammation so severe as to require the application more than once of blisters to relieve the excessive irritation—he could, nevertheless, contrive to hold his ground as he did so well with his eventually successful competitor, Mr. PETERKIN. To Cambridge it must certainly be a matter of interest to remember that the two rival crack shots for -what may be called the Rifle Derby were both of them from that university. The challenge match between the two great universities having been shot off at the commencement of the proceeding on Saturday, between Mr. OWEN and Mr. NORSWORTHY for Oxford, and Mr. Ross and Mr. PETERKIN for Cambridge. Thrice—as it is known in these kind of contests—came the compe tition : that is to say the firing took place at three different ranges ; first at 800 yards, then at 900, and lastly at a thousand. Saving, in this latest range, the range of a thousand yards, the superiority of the Cambridge over the Oxford representatives was sufficiently remarkable. Yet even there the successful hits of Messrs. OWEN and NORSWORTHY, when clubbed together, only exactly equalled those of Mr. PETERKIN alone. It was the falling off in the firing of Mr. Ross in that, the third stage of competition, that lost him his chance altogether. For until then he had actually the advantage over his competitors. At the out3et,•it is true—viz., at the first range (that of 800 yards) Mr. PETERKIN was a-head of him by one—but at the next range (that of 900 yards) Mr. Ross had not only made good the difference, but was four beyond the score of the man who had just threatened to be, as he immediately afterwards proved to be, in fact, his conqueror. It was consequently by being the very lowest upon the list of all the four competitors at the range of 1;000 yards—when his sight, but recently recovered from severe inflamation, had by that time been taxed to the very uttermost—that Mr. Ross lost in this year's contest the pre-eminenee he had won so very I brilliantly in its predecessor. Altogether the con test here referred to is one of so singularly interest inga 1 cl thataraeter to all Riflemen throughout the country, eilvalehreerceograived et : t score precisely as it has been offi c ially CIIIDRIDGE.

It was at three o'clock that his Royal Highness the Com mander-in-Chief appeared there upon the dais pre pared for the occasion, the Duke being surrounded by a splendid staff of officers, including amongst them Gen. SCARLETT and Sir RICHARD A IREY—and that his Royal Highness, after addressing the assembled Volunteers, distributed the prizes to the number of 93 altogether. About the most satisfactory as surance that could possibly have been given to the Riflemen assembled on Saturday, either to partici pate in or simply to witness this distribution, was the one given to them in the following sentence by His Royal Highness :—" There has been a great number of prizes shot for, but almost to the very last the competition has been so close that it has not always been certain that those who have lost have of necessity been the worst shots, although, unhappily, not successful." Several of the compe titors, it will be observed from the catalogue of prize winners, had the satisfaction of carrying off more than one trophy of their skill as Riflemen. From the absurd manner in which some of these prizes " went" in the distribution of them on Saturday it is earnestly to be hoped that a lesson has been learnt for the avoidance of similar incidents in future by those who have the regulation of the proceedings of the association. For example, there were two prize winners (repre sentatives of Rugby both of them, as it happened) who carried off together Lord ASHBURTON'S prize —the CELLINI shield cast in silver by ELKINGTON. What were they to do with it ? Split it in two ? Divide it in half ? Or fight for it ? There was another prize winner who carried off two trophies in the general competition—but,tas ill luck would have it, those two trophies were identically the same in character, being two proof copies of the engraving of the Allied Generals before Sebasto pol ! As a matter of course, the recipient—Capt. WIGRAM, of the Coldstream Guards—bore off his twin prizes in the midst of laughter. The most preposterous incident of all, however, being the one which led an Ensign in the Civil Service Corps very judiciously to prefer two silver cups (if only by reason of their being what WEIMMCK would call "portable property !") in lieu of the nonsensical and ponderous prize that had fallen to his share— the patent safe ! As even these little contretemps will indicate, however, that grand concluding day of the Rifle Season down at Wimbledon on Saturday was, in spite of the weather, fruitful enough of amusement. Considering how recent is the date upon which the the whole of this great movement was inaugurated, we cannot but think that its pro moters and well-wishers have abundant reason for regarding its progress with exultation. And hardly anywhere, we presume, save perhaps down at Rochdale, would any section of the people of Great Britain refuse to give—if ever called upon for it—a hearty viva for the Volunteers ! We are sorry to learn that Hungary has met with one serioas reverse, and Austria gained a probably not unlooked-for triumph, her statesmen being but too well acquainted with the means by which it was obtained. We refer to the telegram, which states that the extreme national party in Croatia has triumphed, and voted for separation from Hungary, by 120 against 3 votes. We have heard little from Agram of late, and we fear the pro bability is that Austria has been again purchasing by gold, if she has it, or by promises, the votes of the Croatians against Hungary. This was her well known infamous policy in 1848, and it was carried out by the villain JELLACHICH, who served as faithfully as it could wish, a Court which at the same moment was proclaiming him as a traitor in Hungary, and sending him money to Agram with orders to march his semi-barbarians against the Hungarians before they were prepared for him. Happily, the Hungarians turned out en masse and drove the traitor to the perfidious court at Vienna, by whom he had been sent on his perfidious and bloody mission. The Croatians were of course cheated of all the liberties promised them, as soon as Russia had put all " ' things in the hands of the Viennese Germans again. Instead of greater liberties than they had enjoyed in connection with Hungary, they found themselves deprived of their old franchises and comprehended with Hungary in one universal scheme of amalgamation. Instead of nationality they were to become but a county, or at least a province. The consequence has been that the Croatians be came as irritated with Austria as the Hungarians were. They co-operated with her, and Hungary forgot the wrongs done her by the Croatians in 1848, or rather attributed them to the knavery of of the Hapsburgs. If we remember rightly the Croatians refused to merge their na tionality in the Austrian Reichsrath, and have, up to the time of this announcement, co ope rated with Hungary. The Hungarian Diet, indeed, resented the non-invitation of the Croatian repre sentatives to it ; but it would seem that Austria has been playing a deep game, and has succeeded in detaching the Croatians. The latter are sure soon to have reason enough to repent of their folly, if the result turns out what it appears to be, that Austria has a second time cajoled Croatia. Rumours are rife that this is not all—that a Holy Alliance of Prussia, Russia, and Austria has been formed against Poland, and that one condition is, that Russian aid should be again furnished if needed in Hungary ! It is probable on account of its wickedness. It being just what might be expected from the thorough political depravity of the three Courts. The PILATES and HERODS always: patch up their quarrels when civil and religious liberty are to be crucified. Perhaps the exceeding likelihood of such a nefarious combina tion is the only real basis for the reports. We hope the Jews will at least hold tightly their purse strings. Austria is still " hard up." She proclaims by way of encouragement to money lenders, a smaller deficit. In 1860 she now says it was only six millions and a half sterling, against twenty nine millions in 1859, the year of the war. But she has sold her railways, and pawned, we hope, everything she can pawn, to raise loans. Russia, too, though her finance is really quite a state secret, is known to be largely behindhand—Prussia is not insolvent, but she is too selfish to spare anything for others if she can help it. She can take subsidies, as the English Exchequer knows to its cost, arid use them to betray the givers, but we never heard, and never shall hear, of this mean and beggarly kingdom offering money to a friend. We trust, however, that Hungary will rise superior to all the schemes of despotic roguery and violence. She can afford to bide her time. Let violence do what it will now, it cannot extinguish the rooted feeling of nationality in 12,000,000 of people ; and if Austria determines to subvert despotically, by the help of German and Russian regiments, the clearest legal rights, Hungary has but to await the next moment of Austrian weakness, and then to liberate themselves, like Italy, for ever. We cannot agree with a contemporary that a subscription in England towards a statue to the memory of Count CAVOUR is inappropriate. To us, as to the Italians, the contribution appears honour able to both countries, as well as to the deceased statesman. The idea of its being an aid to Italian any erect member of the the statue, poverty certainly neve r en t e red the mind either of municipalityor that hat o of f Turin, ur i o n f , t who he s sub scribers. 13 1 () anbyou mt e to b scribers. The wealthiest men here are accustomed to receive testimonials generally subscribed for in a way burdensome to none, and affording pleasure to every giver. No doubt testimonial giving is occa sionally grossly abused ; it is sometimes intended by partisans to whitewash or gild, if possible, very doubtful innocence. We have seen a costly one proffered to a Railway . King ; but the abuse is pro verbially no argument against the right use of any thing, otherwise the Maine gentlemen would be perfectly right in requesting us to suppress distil leries ; and, to our minds, a more fitting occasion for uniting in a testimonial could hardly iv offend than that which many noblemen and gentlemen saw in the proposal by Italians to erect a monument to Count CAVOUR. Not only did the Count study long our polltic3l and commercial ' policy in England itself, and avowedly conform his views for civil, religious, and commercial freedom very much to ours; but the Count's whole course is one in which every Englishman has felt a deep interest. We forgot Reform Bills and all we could forget, in our interest in the Italian struggle. Our Foreign office earned all its laurels at home by what it did abroad. Indeed, by acting out the wishes of the country in backing CAVOUR'S efforts for Italian emancipation, they not only won applause, but did much towards maintaining the Ministry in office. If Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S foot slipped at all towards Austria, the country was almost ready to push him down ; if he wrote angrily towards Count CAVoUR, or differed from GARIBALDI, the country was only angry with him, and the cry was, " CAvoun for ever," and Lord JOHN was obliged to draw in his horns. It is sufficient for the gentlemen of such high position, and of such different opinions to have sent their subscriptions; as money was not the object they are adequate representatives of the national feeling; but that feeling is such, that if a list had been opened at every bankers in the kingdom, none would have been returned without numerous signa tures. The British public feels, we are sure, grate ful to the noblemen and gentlemen who so worthily represented them ; and Italians will feel it an honour, that the FRANKLIN of their struggle should exhibit on his monument a proof to all ages of the spontaneous admiration of ono of the greatest na tions of his age; and will be equally gratified, when the time shall come—may it be long deferred!—that a monument shall be erected to their WASHINGTON, if England should indulge again the same honourable sympathy. It is however enough that Italians can tell us that the deed is cordially appreciated not only by Turin, but by the whole of Italy. THE POST-OFFICE LONDON AND SUB- URBAN COURT GUIDE FOR 1861. KELLY AND CO. The publication of the Post-office Suburban Directory some time since was a very acceptable addition to the Metropolitan Directory, and Messrs. Kelly and Co., have now completed this much required directory to tie suburbs, by the publication of a Court Guide for those localities. A reference to which will enable us to discover without trouble the whereabouts of retired individuals who live in the newly sprung up •illas which are to be found in the :unknown squares, streets, crescents and roads which surround London. At ETV MUSIC. Sabbath Chimes. ktrand Polka. Buy Bias. The International Exhibition Waltz and Gallop: The Music Publishing Company, 17, Peter's-hill, Si, Paul's. We here meet with some pleasing pieces for in strumental performance. " Sabbath Chimes" is one of the best of these ; it is taken from a sacred song, by Mrs. Captain Younge, and is a very effec tive composition, on the whole. It is arranged by E. Reyloff. " The Strand Polka" is another good piece, that is very animated, and will prove attrac tive to those who like an agreeable change in dance music. It includes the melody of " Sally come up." " The International Exhibition Waltz and Gallop" is a stirring subject and pleasing in its general effect. This is composed by L. E. Reyloff, as is also the " Ruy Blas Quadrille," which is a very desirable acquisition for dancers, and without being remark able, is effective and pleasing. Altogether, this collection of music is a very advantageous thing for those who wish for what is entertaining at a cheap price. These pieces are all above the average in point of merit, and can be recommended as simple studies, as well as amusing subjects for general performance. It is a great advantage nowadays to be enabled to procure music at so much more mode rate a cost than heretofore ; and those here cited are favourable specimens of the style that is issued, and may become therefore general favourites. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. ------ FRENCH PLAYS. The benefit of M. Lambert Dennery, the energetic direc tor of the French company now acting at this theatre, will take place to-night, when a series of performances will be given well calculated to show the strength and talent of the artistes whom he has brought together. Amongst the pieces given will be "Les Deux Veuves, characters by Mdlle. Lemerle, Mdlle. Alic Theric, and M. Gravier ; "Le Bougeoir," by M. Paul Devaux and Mdlle. Lemerle ; " Le Piano de Berthe," by M. Paul Devaux, Mdlle. Alice Theric, and Mdlle. Marchal ; "Le Trompette de la Garde," Mdlle. Marie Basta, &c. During the evening a concert will be given, in which Mesdames Parepa, Caradori, and Malabran, MM. Gardoni, Devroye, and Gassier will sing. The public will see from the programme the amusement that is in store, and we hope the opportunity of recognising the successful efforts of M. Dennery will not be neglected. We believe that Lord John Russell will shortly be summoned to the House of Peers. His long services in the Lower House, both as Minister and Legislator, emi • nently qualify him for this mark of Royal favour.—Tines. THE PRIVATE FETES AT CREMORNE.—An in teresting feature of the private fetes which are to be given on the 18th and 24th of the present month, in aid of the funds for the distressed weavers of Spitalfields, will be the early entertainments for the juvenile members of the fami lies and friends of the ladies patronesses, to take place from half-past five to half-past six or seven. All kinds of juve nile amusements, ascents of balloons, performances by Mdlle. Vandermeersch and her wonderful birds, and Alpine panoramas, will be provided. _ . . - THE POPE.—The Augsburg Gazette corroborates the unfavourable intelligence which I have transmitted to you respecting the Pope's health. It says : "So many conflicting rumours have been current respecting the Pope's health that it is time to rectify them. His Holi ness is suffering from dropsy—the symptoms were not alarming until lately, when fits of giddiness and san• guineous congestions have supervened " I have this very day seen a letter from Rome which also bears out the accounts received. The telegraph between this country and the Channel Islands has failed in consequence of the constant breaking of the submarine cable near Portland, from being rolled over the rocky bed in that neighbourhood by the strong tides and currents there. It is in contemplation to lay down a cable between Alderney and the Isle of Wight, the bed of the sea at the latter place having been examined and found to be better adapted for that purpose than at Portland. Several of the Marseilles journals state that M. Alexandre Dumas has just left that city for Naples, where they say he is about to found an extensive culinary establishment. Blue coats have been furnished to provincial letter-carriers, to be used Instead of red ones. These coats, as well as the red coats of the mail guards, are of a much better material than those hitherto provided. ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, GRAY'S INN-ROAD. — The number of patients relieved at this hospital during the week ending July 13 was 3,007, of which 916 were now cases. CITY OF LONDON HOSPITAL FOR DISEASES OF THE CHEST, VICTORIA-PARK.—The number of patients relieved at this institution during last week was 1,188, of which 198 were new cafes. GRAND TRUNK Of CANADA RAILWAY.—The re port of the Grand Trunk of Canada Railway was issued on Saturday afternoon, preparatory to the meeting on Friday next. It states that the total receipts for the half-year end ing the 31st of December were £376,847, and the working expenses £311,163, or a'Jout 841 per cent. of the earnings. The balance in favour of revenue was applied towards the linepart is payment n ow s a i of d the to At bein rdunSnt.inLgaworrednerc,e butrent. ho They angodliocan severe winter has told heavily not only as regards mainte nance and repairs, but also on receipts. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.—An action for breach of promise of marriage was tried on Wednesday, before Mr. Baron Fitz;erald and a special jury, at Sligo. The piaintiff was Miss Mary henry, aged 23 years, and the defendant, Mr. Roger M'Carrick, a gentleman of be tween £2,000 and £3,003 a-year, aged about 45. The pro mise to marry, which was traversed by the defendant, was made some months sirce, on the occasion of the pasties spending "a pleasant ilty in the country." Evidence which sustained the case was given, and Mr. Whiteside, who was specialty retained, delivered an able and humorous speech in mitigation of damages. The jury, after two hours' deli beration, awarded the plaintiff £l,OOO. THE BUILDERS' STRIKE.—The masons on Satur , day paid every man on strike 10s. each, being the weekly stike pay of th e society, irrespective of the dividend result in.gfrom th o su b scr i pt i ons an d g ift s o f ot h er tra d e so cieties.

This morning an attempt was made on the life of the King of Prussia, with a pistol, while he was walking on the Promenade. His Majesty, however, received no injury beyond a slight contusion in the neck, and returned to his residence on foDt. LEIPZIG, JULY 15. The miscreant who made the attempt on the life of the King of Prussia is a young man named Becker, aged 21, who formerly studied at Vienna. He does not belong to any society. Yesterday evening seals were affixed to the doors of his residence at Leipzig. PARIS, JULY 15. The Illoniteur of to-day says : " The Emperor continues to derive much benefit from the waters of Vichy. " There is no truth in the report that Dr. Rayner had been summoned in all haste to Vichy. Dr. Rayner has not left Paris.'

NEW YORK, JULY 2, EVENING. Great uncertainty and speculation exist in the public mind as to the reason why the Federal Administration make no forward movement. All the Baltimore Police Commissioners have been arrested, and the military remain posted throughout the city. The Tennessee Secession troops have left Knox ville in order to prevent the advance of Federal troops into East Tennessee. The Bank statement shows the amount of specie held to be over 42,000,000 dols., the largest sum ever held by the New York banks. The stagnation of trade is increasing.

AUSTRALIA. PLYMOUTH, SUNDAY. The Norfolk, Captain Attwood, belonging to Messrs. Money, Wigram, and (:0., of London, from Australia, has landed several passengers here, and is gone up Channel. She embarked 26 cabin and 164 steerage passen gers, and brings on freight 60,000 ounces of gold• dust, valued at £240,000, 2,527 bags of copper ore, 3,153 copper ingot, 1,264 cakes of copper, 377 cop per tiles, 773 bales of wool, 82') bags of cork, 96 hhds. of brandy, 31 casks of tallow, &c. Eight deaths have occurred on the passage—viz„ William Collith, chief cabin passenger ; and three men, one woman, and three children, second and third cabin passengers. The Norfolk left Melbourne on April 13, rounded Cape Horn May 12, and crossed the Line on June 11. From Australia to the Horn very boisterous weather was experienced; four large icebergs were encountered, and the pas sengers state that the ship was twice in great dan ger. The largest berg was seen in 125 W. It was about 350 feet high. Since rounding the Horn calms and contrary winds have prevailed ; off Rio Sampero blew with so much force as to carry away the crossjack yard. The Norfolk spoke, July 3, in lat. 40 35 long., 37 2 IV., the America whaling schooner, G. W. W. Lewis ; July 7, in lat. 45 27 N., long. 23 24 IV., the American ship Jeremiah Thomson ; and July 13, in lat. 49 21 N., long. 6 30 W., the ship Sinbad. The Monarch, Capt. Gill, belonging to Messrs. Green, of London, left the Sound this morning with a large number of passengers for Melbourne. A number of ships, said to be the Portsmouth division of the Channel fleet, passed up outside the Sound this afternoon. SINGULAR DISCOVERY OF TREASURE.—A few days since a party of seven men were employed in grub bing up several decayed trees on the estate of Captain Wheatley, at Erith, when they diicovered a bar of metal some feet below the surface, and completely embedded in the roots of an old oak tree. The bar was taken to the Running Horse Tavern, when it was discovered to be solid silver, value about £125, and bearing date 1532. As it appears that the lord of the manor declined to claim the property the finders took it to a bullion dealer's in London, who offered to purchase the bar provided that the consent of the Treasury was first obtained. A statement of the case was then forwarLd to the Lords of the Treasury, from which an answer was received to the effect that no claim would be made on the part of the Crown, and the property has, therefore, been sold, and the amount shared amongst the fortunate finders of the treasure. LITERATURE. Glengreggan ; or, A Highland Home in Cantire. By Cuthbert Bede. Illustrated from the Author's Drawings. 2 vols. Longman. It would be strange indeed if among the nume rous band of travellers who in the present day delight in exploring new countries or searching the annals of old ones, in order to give the public the result of their labours, any part of our own islands should be left unvisited. There is no doubt, how ever, that the locality which forms the subject of the volumes before us is as little known and visited by the generality of tourists as though it were in another hemisphere. It is to be hoped that Mr. Bede's pleasant volumes will bring it into notice, and that when the wanderer wishes to step out of the beaten track of highroad travelling, instead of climbing mountains or traversing deserts, he will content himself with a journey in the fresh and lovely hills and downs of Can tire. The annual stream of visitors to the Highlands does not even pass through it. It lies out of the beaten track, as tho writer observes, and in these days of rapid transit when after breakfasting at Glasgow the tourist can nee Dunbarton, Loch Lomond, Loch Katrine, the Trossachs and Stirling within the limits of one summer's day, returning to sleep at Edinburgh, those who like to do as much as pos sible in the shortest space of time and have plenty to talk of afterwards are likely to avoid a district which takes three or four days for going and coming and which is seldom enough a topic of conversation. Nevertheless Cantire is not without its attractions. It is a long narrow peninsula on the south-west of Argyleshire, and will interest the readers of Scott, from its associations with the warlike Lords of the Isles. It has charms too for the lovers of Nature, as the author's illustrations abundantly prove. "The view from nearly every heathery moor is panoramic in its extent, and varied and beautiful in its details. To the west is the great Atlantic, its broad bosom studded with the Highland gems of the southern Hebrides ; to the east is Kilbrannan Sound and the Firth of Clyde, with the torn peaks of the lovely Isle of Arran. Further north is Loch Fyne, the Isle of Bute, and a mass of mountains, among which Ben Lomond is plainly to be discerned. Due north may be seen Ben More, and the mountains of misty Mull ; and to the southward lies like a blue cloud upon the sea, that portion of the northern coast of Ireland that extends from Fair Head to the Giant's Causeway. Every way there is a sea-view, diver sified for the most part with islands, and when we combine this with the varied inland scenery we might apply the words of Milton to this Highland ground of Cantire." It is the nearest point to Ireland and as such was subject to invasions in the olden days; while froth its being one of the territories of the powerful and turbulent Lords of the Isles, and containing some of their chief strongholds it was the scene of perpetual feuds. It is, of course, like all Scottish lands, rich in history, legend, and tradition, and the frequent citation of these gives life and interest to the work. Cantire was the original seat of the Scottish Monarchy, and its chief town was the capital of the Scottish kingdom centuries before Edinburgh existed. It was also the first part of western Scotland where Christianity flourished, and legends of St. Columba and his com panions abound. The Mull of Cantire is the extreme southernmost point of the Peninsula, and was noted, it is said, in the time of the Romans for its adverse tides. " The coast . is peculiarly hazardous, and off the Mull there is a great peculiarity in the tides. At the distance of three miles from the shore a depth of twelve fathoms is sometimes found. The spring tides run-at six miles an hour; the neap tides at about three. Within a mile and a half of the pro montory there runs an eddy tide like a whirlpool, and much stronger than that which runs in the channel ; as when the tide runs to the westward, this eddy tide runs to the eastward along shore, and vessels have often been driven on shore from ignorance of this pecularity. So powerful is the tide that rolls round the Mull that it throws up the sand and gravel at Carskay Bay, so as to make an embankment which has turned to the westward the stream that flows down Glen Breckry." The sea at this spot is never tranquil owing to the conflicting tides, and, as may easily be imagined in stormy weather, the danger is very great. In order to avoid it boats were frequently dragged across the neck of the peninsula at Tarbert. The readers of "The Lord of the Isles" will remember that Bruce's barque was dragged across in this manner to avoid the enemy, and that the consequent fulfilment of an old prophecy encouraged his followers. It is not surprising that at such a spot shipwrecks have been reckoned by hundreds, and the long needed lifeboat station has at last been supplied owing to the liberality of a Scottish lady. The lighthouse, which stands on the Mull, is the most southern of those " Northern Lights" to which we are indebted, says the author, fur a poem and a novel. It was in his capacity as Commissioner of Northern Lights that Sir Walter Scott paid those visits to the He brides, the Orkneys, and Shetland that gave him the materials for " The Pirate" and " The Lord of the Isles." Frequent allulion is made to his writ ings. and the author remarks upon the singular felicity and justness of his epithets and adjectives, " Verdant Islay," " jura's rugged coast," &c. Glengreggan, which gives its name to the book, is an estate a little beyond Barr. The house is situated on high ground, and possesses a magnificent view. " The draw ing-room windows command an uninterrupted view from left to right of nearly one hundred miles, beginning on the left with the Irish coast and terminating in the misty distance in the island of Mull." The "collie dogs" are of course among the Scottish wonders, and tales of their marvellous sagacity are told. The habits of the people and the kelp manufacture are described at length, and, as we have stated, the volumes are enriched by copious anecdote. The work might without injury have been considerably condensed; but as the author was entering ground hitherto untrodden in description and narrative, he found it probably difficult to restrict himself. We must not forget to mention the valuable contribu tions of the author's busy pencil, which add so much to the attractions of the work, whether he makes us smile at the contrast presented by a Highland milkmaid in real life to the Hebe of his imagination, or whether he refreshes us amid London smoke and dust with a peep at the fresh blue waves and verdant slopes of Cantire. Manordean. A Novel. By Herbert Steele, Newby. This is a romantic little tale that may prove at tractive to those who wish for exciting incidents. The character of Amy is very well drawn, and she is almost the only pleasing person met with in its pages. She was placed in very trying circum- stances by the conduct of her father. He was en gaged is a smuggling transaction and was arrested. Fortunately for her feelings, he escaped and con trived to get abroad. Amy was obliged to work for her living for some time. Her sister Mary was very selfish, and left Amy to attend to her father, while she remained with a rich aunt from whom she expected to get some money. This expectation was afterwards disappointed, for Mr. Rochford, the father, had contrived to keep the money that his sister-in-law had given him to invest. The poor old lady died of the disappointment, and thus the misled man had anoher murder on his con science to take with him into foreign lands. Forsythe, to whom Amy was married, was not worthy of her, he was deceitful and strange in his conduct. It is, however, satisfactory to find that this unfortunate maiden has the prospect of lead ing a happier life than she had done for so many years, and that she was removed from the neces sity of toiling for her living, for which she was not fitted, either in stresgth or spirits. The descrip tions of some of " Manordean" is very pleasing, and a delightful account is given of the early home of Amy. The river was its chief charm and the thoughts of it lingered in the memory of the unhappy outcast when forced to take up her abode in city dust and smoke. " The Spirit of the Mountain, the genius of Hendon-hill, a rich and generous giver, gave to it the flowing Eskill, loved by old and young. Who did not love the little Eskill ? By how many cottage chambers did it not murmur in the evening ? As the poor widow heard it sing its evening carol unconsciously, it brought peace to her—it seemed like his voice—for long ago the well-loved tones had mingled with this gentle music, and to other hearts it came like a pastoral poem recited in the dusk by the same voice linger ing on the words. And to others—toilworn and fair t-hearted—jt came like a promise of a world where rest is not sin, nor lovingness a curse. But the blessings of that little stream were innumer able." Tilbury Rog° ; or Passages in the Life of an Unsuccessful Alan. By the author of " Rigby Grand." Chapman and Hall. popular This is not the first appearance of Mr. Nogo before the public, but a republication of his adven tures, or rather misadventures, among M essrs. . but it Chapman and Hall's standard edition of authors.

Many of the secondary characters introduced are well delineated; and, in many parts, the advice given to our hero by some sensible friend would prove beneficial to many who in some points resemble Mr. Nogo too closely. The worst feature of his character is that of allow ing his intimate friend to marry the daughter of a card sharper and swindler, from whose tender mercies he has himself recently escaped, the result of such a union is, of course, misery. He himself marries a sleep-walking window, who, after the bridal day, wears the continuations. Years roll by after marriage, his wife is a confirmed invalid at Bath, and himself an older, if not a wiser, man ; he thus reflects upon his past life : Like many a wiser and better man, I have been the vic tim of an unworthy ambition—not the noble infirmity which urges the aspirer to be great—not the heaven-born sentiment which impels him to be good ; but the paltry and unmanly thirst for frivolous distinction, which, originating in vanity, finds its end in disappointment and disgust, Not satisfied to take the sports and amusements of life as I found them, it has been u.y desire to raise for myself a kind of spurious fame for proficiency in pursuits which, after all, deserve but to be the pastime of an idle hour ; and even this worthless distinction I have failed to attain. When the man who had spent a lifetime in learning to balance peas on the point of a, needle was brought before Alexander, the conqueror of the world ordered him the appropriate re compense of a packet of needles and a bushel of peas. Alas I my proficiency has not even deserved the Macedo nian's sarcastic guerdon. Money, time, and perseverance have been wasted, and I cannot balance the pea on the needle after all. In vain have my stud eaten their heads off at Melton, and I myself gone to the height of personal inconvenience, not to say bodily peril, to achieve a first flight character on the grass. Can I lay my hand on my heart, and tax my memory with one single instance on which, after hounds had been running hard for ten minutes, I was present in the same field with them ? I have ridden a two-hundred guinea hunter, and been pounded by young Graceless on a forty-pound hack ! I have placed my horse's head at Lord Rapid's tail, and vowing to stick to him throughout the day, have lost him in three fields. No I High Leicestershire was no arena for my prowess; and hopeless as was my success in the pas tures, the turf was even worse. What availed at to , elbow my way ,into the waving mass which constitutes the Ring at Epsom; or to swagger, with open betting book, and pencil daintily fitted between my front teeth, down the sunny slopes at Ascot ? The " mak•e and-shape " backer jumped at the odds I offored against his favourite, and showed his judgment by the form in which his selection swept past the goal an easy winner, and " the only horse I stood to lose by in the race ;" or the better-informed leg, with his liberal investment against the Flyer that broke dcwn this morning, gave me another op portunity of what is playfully termed " paying and looking pleasant. Shooting, deer-stalking, sparring, cricket, hare.- hunting, rowing, fishing, etc., not forgetting my first and only appearance as a jockey at Weatherley—l have had a turn at them all—and if this be what is meant by "sowing wild oats," I can only say that in my case the crop has failed to pay the expenses of cultivation. My trip into the west, of England, though in itself the accident of an accident— the consequence of a fracas in which I had no business to be concerned—was in its effect not the least important of my vagaries; and that, too, originating in my ambition to ob tain a certain share of fame as a sportsman in that out-of the-way locality. Of my visit to Squire Topthorne, I confess there did spring some very decided consequences ; but with my conviction that, in the words of Shakspeare, "your marriage comes by destiny," I forbear to make any reflections on that unavoidable catastrophe. And what has been the result of thus wasting the golden, the irre trievable years of early manhood —that important period in which alone can be laid the foundations for a future super structure of utility and self-content, if not of distinction and p ur s r u e i n t s o w ofig-fee n s h e o d u i l fi d c e b e t o b w u t h a i e s h t h s u e c c c a e r s y s i n i n g t w h h e i m e h o r d e ec t r o i r fl a i t nz its pillars, the ornamental work which softens the severer grandeur of the whole ? A brief period of hollow excitement, constantly embittered by dissatisfaction and disappointment; a consciousness of time misspent and opportunities thrown away ; something very nearly akin to remorse for the irremediable past ; and above all, the degrading conviction that though age is steadily and surely stealing on, wisdom is still as far distant as ever, and the experience which makes " even fools wise" has in my own case been entirely thrown away. The descriptions of the hunting field, the race course, and other sporting scenes, are; described with the ability of a sportsman. The Book of Good Counsels. From the Sanscrit of the Hitopadesa. )3y Edwin Arnold, M.A. Smith and Elder. This little volume can certainly boast the merit of novelty. It is a translation of Indian moral saws and fables. Mr. Arnold informs us that the chief object in presenting this translation to the public is to excite in the minds of the people of England a desire to explore the literature of India. He says that although no one listens now to the precipitate ignorance which would set aside as heathenish the rncient civilisation of this great race, justice is not yet done to their past development and present capacities. Many of the fables are curious, and are proofs of the sagacity and fertility of imagination of a people who boasted a high civi" lisation long before the Christian era, and when the greater portion of Europe was a wilderness peopled by savages. Bohu's Illustrated Library. The second volume of the " Poetical Works of John Milton is now published, and it contains much to engross the reader. "Paradise Regained," " Comus," minor poems, containing " "Il Penseroso," " Lycidas,'' etc. There are the Latin Poems also in this volume, the Odes, Sonnets, and Translations. It is an admirable book on the whole, and will form an elegant addition to the libraries of all who desire standard books at a. moderate price. This new edition contains an Index Verborunt to the whole of Milton's Poems. It is also ornamented with engravings by several artists of eminence, and a memoir by J. Mont gomery, with critical remarks on the genius and writings of Milton. This forms a very complete work altogether, and will be sure to be appre ciated as belonging to a series so useful and elegant as that of the illustrated library of Bohn which has furnished so many first-rate production at a reduced cost, while they are brought out in a handsome form. Something for Everybody and a Garland for the I' ear. By John Timbs, F.S.A. Lockwood and Co. Mr. Timbs does not claim the merit of originality in this volume, but rather that of collecting useful and agreeable information from the works of others, and certainly in this respect he deserves great credit. It would be quite impossible to give a description of the various subjects treated of in this compendious collection, which embraces dyeing of hair, the Trans figuration, St. Valentine's Day, whitebait, the classic history of the rose, curiosities of bees, and many other topics too numer ous t o ment i on . Some useful information is to bei gathered under the head of "Prompt Remedies and Small Services," and whether as a means of passing an odd five minutes in waiting for a wife to put a bonnet on or a husband to change his boots, or obtaining prac tical information, this work is equally to be recom mended. The Handbook of Angling for Scotland and the Border counties. By John Robertson. Houlston and Wright. This is not Mr. Robertson's first appearance in print, and the present little volume is a republi cation of the " Trout Fisher's Manual" in a re vised and extended form. In the former work he took Edinburgh as a centre or starting point ; but in this volume great additions regarding convey ance, accommodation, and routes are made. Gene ral instructions to the young angler are given, but the author wisely remarks that the science Of angling has now reached such a height of perfec tion that but little instruction is needed by the matured angler, and that all the additional notions to be acquired mast result from expe rience. Ho says that if he added another sentence it would be his conviction that careful observation and experience at the water-side were worth all the rules that ever were penned. A Week, at the Land's End. By J. T. Blight, Longman. Although the extent of country herein described is of but small dimensions, it nevertheless contains many points of interest. The area comprised in the map appended extends from the Bay of St. Ives on the N.E. to Whitstable Bay and the La n d' s -E n d o n the ancient Y history of the pic turesquethe S.W., and Mount's Bay on the S.F.S.

Mr. Dowie has taken much pains to explain the injury caused to the human foot by ill-fitting shoes. The construction of the foot and its various peculiarities are considered and illustrated with several diagrams, and those who desire to walk according to rule, and to bring the pressure equally upon all parts of the foot, may attain their object by a careful per usal of these pages.
