While the Emperor NAPOLEOX is for once as clan and clear as the dayliiht, avowing quite frankly his opinions, his wishes, and his aspirations, Lord PALMERSTON, as the Prime Minister of Eng lund, is plainly and most carefully studied in—what is that horrid word that we are most of la „ al; ...1 1 : 1 : i g so often of late, usque ad nauseam `reticence " 111 . 0 allude here, of course, to the - p,, c ,,, ,t, - malcitie T itlu B speech yesterday at the Lord Mayor's tlildhall. In the Frencri EMPEROR'S Speech h ew : much there is compacted together, and the chi ar"ng the topics there touched upon of th e , er English premle : v6 ghtiest importance ! In the really and truly, imtPeech how little there is— about as vacuously as anZt to nothing ! It reads curling off for the dI sei ° 0 111 " opens, leaf after leaf ;e t at last of, a g ain we say it, next to nothing, s arcasm on " realisation of Mr.THAeRER".:B like a rhetorical the FOURTII---" under-waist co3 ; GEORGE more under-waist coat, more und er-waisteoat—.., o ' tli gh' ,' he was home eith er i n The noble l o rd might just as lief have s tayed at B ro adlands or in Piccadilly. B ut pro bably, at the Guildhall, as much as there ything, simply and purely for the purp ose or Pattin g in an appearance. DooervedlY and ev e! , ch. uivally cordial though the welcome was which the gallant company, collected together t h ere in the ancient Guildhall of the City or London accorded to the Great Statesman an the gala day now doubly welcome every year as the birthday of his Royal Highness the Heir Apparent to the Throne, no less than as the inaugural day of the new Lord Mayor's civic reign over the great metropolitan municipality—it WAS rewarded, this enthusiastic welcome, by no political confidences whatever from our veteran Premier, Lord PALm EIt " sroN. Not an inkling as to the future was afforded to those who hung breathlessly u pon the word s falling from the lips of the Premier. And this, all the more tantalizingly, upon the very morrow of the delivery by the Emperor NAPOLEON 111. of a speech from the throne,opening l - "serthi,d 1 - 4 , , , ,i5 . on the new y iature of France, weightier, more startling', When view more °rain regarded from one point of ons of war, end w h en regar d e d from the di ametrically opposite direction more beneficently propitious of peace, than an y ro y a l or that imperial address of as been pron ounce d, f ro m any one of the th rones Europe, within the memory of the present g e neration, For any revelation of the policy likely to be pursued ro y our Go vernmen t in regard to the EMPEROR:3 phpo peon Congress , we must wait as-sa patiently of r/ n Euro be, until that m otle y Govern ment of as may be, has had time to deliberat e. In re g ard to that Poll e y, l et at an y ra t e it w ill not be either apathetic or us hope that ambiguous in its character. There are times and occasions in the history of a great coun. try, when its rulers ought at any rate, and at whatever hezird in the result, to be perfectly plain spoken. For precisely such plain speaking on the part of England—now is the very time, this is the precise occasion. It would seem that the Government are deter mined not to remain long idle with respect to the redoubtable steam rams now lying at Birkenhead. In the first place, when active proceedings were determined on, the Broad Arrow was marked on the vessels, and a Customhouse officer put on board. This bold step, however, was not sufficient a eis t f o y allay a Mr. ADAMS'S restless uneasine ss, or to , RUSSELL'S assiduous friendship. The officer, who, according to the respect claimed by the law,glish should have been a host in himself as h represen tative of the law, ought to have been sufficient to guard a dozen vessels, was not thought formidable enough, and accordingly a body of marines super seded the civil officer. Whether the general indig nation excited both in London and Liverpool by this man ceuvre had any effect on our Cabinet, or whether they began to anticipate awkward ques tions on the meeting of Parliament, is not known ; but they have suddenly changed their tactics, and show signs of a willingness to emerge from the awkward predicament in which they have placed themselves, although by so doing they are only trying to cover one illegality by another. It seems that, owing to instructions received from the Go vernment, the two unfinished steam rams have been valued. El Toussin, the most advanced, is esti mated at over £lOO,OOO, and its fellow at £BO,OOO. It is said that the Government would like to pur chase them from the French owners, Messrs. BREVEY. This shows the striking illegality of their acts. If the vessels have really been unlawfully constructed and have been justly seized, the Government has surely no need to expend any money in paying for what is already their property. If Messrs. BREVET have a right to sell vessels to the British Government, it is evident that they must have had an equal right to receive them from Messrs. LAIRD. The Govern ment can in no case claim to dispose of the rams by a forced sale, seeing that if they are not " contra band of war" the Cabinet has no business to inter fere between Mr. LAIRD and his contract. The case must be tried, and until there has been a little sounder and more constitutional law brought to bear upon it than the opinions of her MAJESTY'S advisers, the public will not feel very well satisfied. Fortu nately, the matter rests in the hands of a man of spirit and capital. Mr. LAIRD has refused to dis close the contract price, and will, no doubt, hold his own valiantly to the end. Were he unable to do so, he would find a hundred offers of aid pour in, for the feeling of the country is now thoroughly roused upon this matter. The vacillation and timor ous temporising which has so disgusted the Eng lish in our American policy have, in the case of these rams, reached a point previously unheard of, and the claims of law, custom, courtesy, and busi ness seem to be alike set at defiance. It was a very questionable compliment to a man of character and standing like Mr. LAIRD, a member of the Eng lish Parliament, to send a body of marines to de tain a vessel which he had pledged his word should not depart without notice. The law officers of the Crown, if they have been consulted on the mate ter, will find it difficult to produce their precedents, while if, as is more likely, their opi nions have not been taken, they will be puzzled to defend the acts of their colleagues. The valuing of the vessels is the most extraordinary and inconsis tent of all the remarkable proceedings of the Go vernment with respect to these rams. Earl Rus- SELL might have restrained his anxiety until a court of law had decided to whom they really be longed, when, as we have before said, if confiscated there need be no payment, if left free there need be no interference with the contract. Perhaps Earl RUSSELL wants to make a useful Christmas present to his friends at Washington, and thinks these rams would get over to New York in nice time for the holiday festivities. In his impatience to secure the prize for his Federal friends Earl RUS SELL has nearly made the country pay pretty dear The Prince Consort, sent through the gale to assist in the mighty business of keeping these unfinished rams at home, very nearly paid the penalty for the rash meddling of our Foreign Secretary. Our Admiralty officials had better go to Birkenhead and take a few lessons in shipbuilding, for Mr. LAIRD'S vessels seem to give only too much satisfac tion to his customers instead of too little, as is very generally the case with Admiralty jobs, whether of design, construction, adaptation, or improvement. That is an old story, but this affair at Birkenhead is a very new one ; and we should like to know on what possible pretext a Frenchman is refused the right of giving an order to an English shipbuilder. Law has no business to trouble itself about the purposes to which an article may hereafter be turned ; it does not deal with men's intentions or wishes, but with their acts. The facts of the case are simply that a French firm gives an eminent English firm an order for some steam rams, and our Government has not the shadow of a right to interfere in the transaction. But the nerves of the North are ap parently so shaken by the Alabama, that at the first rumour of the possible destination of these rams, Mr. ADAMS invoked the aid of his trusty friend and ally at the Foreign-office, who valiantly came to the rescue, and flung right, reason, and constitu tional law entirely on one side. There is a limit, however, to all things, and we suspect the general feeling will be rather with Mr. LAIRD, in his re fusal to disclose the contract price, than with the formidable array, naval and military, sent against these luckless vessels, whose storms have begun be fore they have left port. The excitement and exertion occasioned by the supposed departure of these unfinished vessels reminds us of the nursery rh yme “ w ou h r. i a c ti h d t . e tw il e s u u tytl s how ta ors went to kill a snail." Ear 1 RUSSELL and Mr. ADAMS, and the Washing toll Cab inet to boot, had better look to themselves, f for th e vai glisle public will not tolerate much`more t of there '''' e eedinge—proceedings as absurd and ,1 as extraea gEt „ t - unjust. all they are unconstitutional and ttme the Tt sa is fe ci ty li o t f e th e . 4 Something was done about of those in autho r . 4i.r e , a t t • It is too often the practice d ill-arranged a magnitude measures, until authority to neglect cautions and t o adopt prudential to use timely pre- cautions that is really the evil has assumed far and near and the concerningterrifyi n g: the faulty a n termi of the laws. Very recently two very sad cases oc curred, which, beginning in street nutarawgoem9, noted in acath. In one instance asked to see after a neighbour's house dori : l , lv h as er absence, and, on going there, she heard a nois e , and very imprudently knocked. The door was opened suddenly, and Mrs. WATSON received a blow on the head from one of the men who rushed out. s o fatal were its effects that she speedily sank under it, and the most grievous thing that could occur is, that no trace of the murderers is discovered. It is difficult to conceive how anyone can bo so cruel ; for of course two men could easily have pa ssed one female without having recourse to such viol ence. It is evident that a sufficent watch could not ha ve been kept over the house and its vicinity, or the ruffians could not have obtained ingress to it. The other cas e i s , if possible, still more outrageous, for TEE SUN, LONDON, T[JESPAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 10, 1863, the desperate deed was done deliberately, and was ' evidently the result of predetermination. In con sequence of the deceased having given some opinion in a gambling transaction, which offended certain parties, they swore revenge, and were unfortunately enabled to carry out their cruel desire. It is cer tainly a very lamentable state of things when law less and ungovernable characters are to have it in their power to plan and execute these revolting crimes. It seems reprehensible not to have taken down the deposition of the dying man, for he died on the fifth of the month, and the blow was inflicted on the seventh of the last one, so that ample time must have elapsed for the necessary formulas to be gone through. The daughter of the deceased stated that she did not remember the name of the party her father mentioned as having sworn to take away his life. This is a most unwise pro ceeding, for, doubtless owing to the laxity of one side and the confusion of the other, the chief delinquent will escape the detection he so richly deserves, and hence future offenders will be induced to proceed on their course with more recklessness, from previous non convictions establishing a pre cedent as it were. It would appear from all these fearful incidents, either that there are not sufficient police about these lonely environs, or else that they are not vigilant enough. It comes to this that the lives of her MAJESTY'S subjects are not efficiently protected under the present system, and hence it is worth while, at the risk of offending any pre judices, or militating against any special arrange ments, to protest against a mode of procedure which aims at so much, but whose results are so unsatis factory. The Coroner in the case of the man named HOMERTON, most emphatically declared that "outrages in the streets were becoming dreadfully prevalent." This is surely a reply to those framers and executors of the law who plume themselves on their skill and sagacity. There can be no valid reason why, just at this time, theae outrages should be so frequent in their occurrence and fatal in their results. At all events, since un happily the fact is patent to all that the wrong is so prevalent, let some means be adopted at once to check the further spread of the ruffianly conduct and cruel outrages that must now be considered as a part of our daily records of street proceedings. Only the other day there was a considerable trouble experienced in prosecuting some reckless individuals who employed their time in persecuting and insult ing female passers-by. The difficulty that arose on these cases being tried, doubtless induced others to make similar attempts, and thus in many parts of London it was almost impossible for respoctable persons to walk in the evening for fear of an unpleasant interruption. The laws that regulate the conviction of these criminals aro not as they should be, or we should not find so many perti naciously following the bad example, and hear of such numerous cases of oppressive cruelty and bar barous insults. The garotters, too, are by no means an extinct race, and already they have tried their hands in the early part of this autumn on unwary foot passengers. There could be no harm done in making the experiment of a new system of espionage, and adopting some more decisive measures when the culprits are captured. The very faulty arrangements of the prisons are against any terrorism of confinement being held up as a warning to the reckless and the daring. If men are not mortified by a prison life, it does more harm than good to themselves and others. There is no doubt that to the mistaken mildness and absurd indulgencies of prisons, a great part of our garot ting bands of last year were to be attributed. Let not the short days and dark nights of the ensuing winter offer more opportunities for the perpetration of these villainies, , and let no efforts be re laxed until their gan gs are broken up and their occupa tion gone. Extensive vigilance will, no doubt, be required, and, perhaps, the means adopted may be very expensive, but how can the public money be better spent, or the time and strength of the officials be more worthily employed, than in pro tecting life, and bringing malefactors to j ustice. It is always meet to look our dangers in the face at times, to discover the remedy, and not to shirk the responailoility or the difficulty of its application. Taken in time, many things are kept under which else might assume a hydra-like form, and, perhaps, circumvent the efforts and beffie the zeal of those tuo late roused to the contemplation of the danger, and too little prepared to act with decision and promptness. THE PROPOSED EUROPEAN CONGRESS, (From the Times.) Tier Majesty the Queen received yesterday morn ing an autograph letter from the Emperor of the French, in which his Imperial Majesty requested the Queen to send representatives to a Congress of the chief Eurvean States, whose duty it shall be to take note of and recognise the points in which the Treaty of Vienna had been infringed, and to adopt such measures with respect to present com plications as may best secure the general peace. We believe that her Majesty's Ministers will meet in Cabinet to•day, to consider of the answer to be returned by her Majesty to the Emperor of the French, LATEST rNTELLIGENCE. [REUTER'S TELEGRAM.] AMERICA. (Per the City of New York.) QUEENSTOWN, Nov. 10. The Inman steamer, City of New York, from New Yorit on the 31st ult., arrived here at 4.10 a.m. to-day. She brings 199 passengers, 278,440 doll. in specie, and the United States mail. NEW YORK, OCT. 30 (Evening). The Federal squadron off Charleston has been Increased. The Richmond Examiner regards the seizure of the Confederate rams as the most unfriendly act yet committed by England towards the South. The Richmond IVhig denounces it as an act of hostility, not neutrality. President Davis has reviewed the troops at Mobile on the 24th inst. Immense numbers of furloughed soldiers have arrived in New York to vote. It is reported that extensive frauds were com mitted at the Ohio election to defeat Mr. Vallan digham. One counter is stated to have polled 500 more Republican votes than there are inhabitants. The appointment of an investigating committee is spoken of. Democratic and Republican election meetings are held at New York nightly, each party passing antagonistic resolutions and making bitter speeches against their opponents. Grand preparations are making for the Rassian ball. President Lincoln welcomed Senor Romero as the Juarez Minister in a warm address. Havana advices to the 24th inst. report that the insurrection in St. Domingo continues. NEW YORK, OCT. 31: Federal advices from Charleston to the 27th inst. state that General Gilmore had commenced firing upon Charleston from three heavy guns on Cum ming's point. Each gun had thrown one shell into the heart of the city. The other guns were to open soon. Four howitzers were in position off Sulli van's Island, prepared for an engagement. The Ironsides does not participate in th© attack. The fire on Forts Johnson, Sumter, and "Moultrie was kept up, the Confederates replying reservedly. The situation in Virginia is unchanged. The repairs on the Orange and Alexandria Railroad are progressing. The Baltimore correspondent of the New J orb; herald asserts that between the 15th and 18th ult. Lee had sent 30,000 men to Abing. don, in Virginia, where they were joined by 15,000 men under General Jones.

The Southern papers assert that the Federal Government refuses to make any further exchange of prisoners. An independent Democratic party has been started in opposition to the Tammany and Mozart Hall Democracy. Their platform embraces the vigorous prosecution of the war, and vindication of the Monroe doctrine. The Governor of New York has made a speech, declaring that the Democrats agreed with the Re publicans in putting forth all the material power of the country to secure success in the war, but that the Democracy would add to the power of force the influence of wise statesmanship and the con ciliation of Christian charity. He denounced Vice- President Hamblin's statement that the Union as it was and the Constitution as it is could not be re stored, as treasonable, cowardly, and base. He would support the Administration in constitutional measures, but would not gratify the theories of fanatics and bigots. The New York Herald asserts that President Lincoln will not officially notice the French inva sion of Mexico until American troubles are settled. NEW YORK, Ocr. 31 (Evening). (Per the Hibernian.) The .Richmond Despatch thinks that the South has felt the full extent of President Lincoln's power, and that he can never do as much harm as ho has previously done. If, it says, he has failed hitherto he can never succeed with the assistance of England, which under Earl Russell's auspices seems to have come forth as an enemy of the South.

The Mooltan and Norna left Suez with the above mails on the 6th inst., the former for Calcutta, and the latter for Mauritius. OPENING OF THE PRUSSIAN DIET. BERLIN, Nov. 9. The Prussian Chambers were open to-day by the King in person. The speech from the throne expressed his Majesty's earnest wish for a termina tion to the rise of differences between the Govern ment and Chamber. It announced a bill which would regulate the rights of the Government in case of the budget not being legally settled, and declared that, without endangering the most important in terests, the King could only assent to such a budget as should ensure the maintenance of the new orga nisation of the army. The bill regulating the period of military service had been modified. The revenue of 1862 had produced a surplus, as would probably be the case with the revenue of 1863. The budgets for 1863 and 1864 should be laid before the Chambers. The apparent &flea in the latter would be removed by the ground and buildings tax in 1865. The balance-sheets for 1859, 1860, and 1861 would be submitted to the Chambers, as well as a bill establishing the expenditure and receipts of 1862. Bills would also be brought forward for the construction of new railways, with regard to the logal position of associations, additional regulations to the press laws of the Ist June last, and to a new criminal code. The Government was still endeavouring to secure the continuation of the Zollverein, while maintain ing the commercial treaty with France, and in especial to regulate its relations to Austria. Should Federal execution in Holstein require the applica tion of extraordinary means from Prussia, estimates would be laid before the Chamber. The speech announced that the negotiations with respect to the German reform question would be submitted to the Diet, and concluded:—" We live in an agitated time, perhaps stand upon the brink of a more agitated future. I ask you therefore the more urgently to bring about an understanding upon the solution of home questions with earnest will." The late Speech of the Emperor of the French, The Vienna papers of the 6th inst. speak favour ably of the speech of the Emperor of the French. The Botcshafter says : The speech from the throne will always be regarded as one of the most important documents of modern history. . . . A manifesto of peace or war, according as Europe will take it, it sraks out with an openness concerning the state of the world which entirely and completely corre sponds to the high position which the Emperor of Franco claims for himself and for France—the position, namely, iu the centre of the European community. In reference to the declaration that the moment has come for reconstructing on new bases the edifice destroyed piecemeal by revolutions, the Botschafter continues:— Who will venture to deny that the edifice is in the situation described ? Who will venture to gainsay the as sertion that a reconstruction on new bases would be a bene faction ? We acknowledge that it would be so, We grant to Napoleon 111., for his frank speech, the same merit which another•lmperial Sovereign acquired by a similar explicit ness in regard. to the unsatisfactory condition of the German Confederation. If actual circumstances can no longer be concealed, then it is right openly to speak of them as they are. The two first princes of Europe resemble each other in this noble candour. Could they understand each other, and carry along with them the rest of Europe, then indeed a new era would be founded. We cannot, however, shut our eyes to the fact that such a new era of order and con tentment seems almost too beautiful to enable us entirely to vanquish our sceptical Pessimism. How many high hopes have already tumbled to the ground? On high hopes, lofty thoughts, and plans, noble minds find nourishment; but it is a very unsubstantial nourishment. Only a short time back we cherished the hope that a great idea would carry Germany along with it. It. did not do so. The petty fault findings of a petty world have robbed it of its feathers. A great idea endeavours now to impose itself upon Europe ; will it meet with a better fate ? The Lloyd concludes a eulogistic article with the following words Napoleon has thrown down the glove to many dynasties and empires. and it almost seems as though an epigram of Napoleon I. at St. Helena was about to be accomplished, concerning the fate of Europe at tho end of 50 years from that time. The crisis comes not unexpectedly. For more than 10 years it has been indicated, daily indicated, by the organs of public opinion, and those who will go down in it have only themselves to blame for their downfall. The Wanderer says, in relation to the reply of Austria to the French proposition : Austria must ask herself the question, what she might have to lose by such a Congress. To abide by her old aver sion to such assemblages would be to lay herself open to the reproach of the speech which touches upon " the obstinacy in maintaining a past which is rolling away." The Congress may lead to the definitive recognition of a new order of things in Italy by no means in harmony with the views hitherto preponderating in our Foreign-office. But Austria is no longer the champion of all Legitimacies who have come to grief, she has only to look after her own inte rests, and protect what is hers. If war comes out of this Congress, which in spite of the assurances of Napoleon re mains a possibility, Austria's situation can be no worse than it would be if the war breaks out before the Congress. On the other hand, a refusal on our part to assent to the idea of the Emperor would be much more likely to expose us to the peril of isolation, which has already once proved the path to our undoing. The Ost Deutsche Post says : It is at all events no declaration of war, but it is the harbinger of groat complications. For that, in the face of such declarations as are here made, especially in relation to the overthrow of the treaties of 1815, none of the three above-named Powers (Russia, Prussia, and Austria) can take part in the Congress, is clear. But England, also, is above all the most deter.nined opponent of such a Congress. Herein alone lies a sort of guarantee to conjure a European coalition France can hardly feel herself powerful enough to venture upon doing. The political parole for the winter months is given ; what will be the issue thereof, who can foresee to-day ? The Presse says : The impression which this speech is calculated to make in Europe is immense. We do not venture, on a first im pression, even to hint at the consequences of this important event. It has, thanks to well •kept official confidences, broken in upon Europe in a wholly unexpected manner, and it is yet too early to perceive how far it will operate healthily or fatally upon the shaken relations of the Powers. Only one:point would we raise—an officious Viennese organ, relying on most trustworthy Parisian communicatians, had proclaimed that the declarations of the speech ou the Polish question 11 ould be drawn up in a kindly (wohlwollenden) spirit towards Austria. Apart from the want of tact dis played in the choice of such an expression, we must confess, now that the speech lies before as, that of a sentiment of benevolence towards Austria we have been able to discover nothing after the most rigid scrutiny thereof.

THE COURT•MARTIAL ON COLONEL CRAWLEY. —Although on Saturday it Was arranged officially that the court-martial on Colonel Crawley should com mence on Thursday next, doubts have since arisen whether it will be possible for the tribunal to begin its sittings on that day, The military authorities are quite ready, and have been for some time anxious to proceed; and Colonel Crawley personally was understood to be an assenting party to the arrangement. Yesterday morning. however, Col.

By John Francis Maguire, M.P. One Vol., pp. 557. Longman and Company. Seven years ago, good, noble-hearted Father Mathew breathed his last—the close of his career occurring in the year 1856, on the Bth of December. The history of this simpleminded Irish Priest is familiar to the great mass of both the educated and uneducated population of the three kingdoms. His memory is still treasured up in the hearts of all those—it matters nothing of what sect, or class, or country—who can appreciate the loveliness of true and practical benevolence. It is no exaggeration to say of Theobald Mathew, that, as he was the most active and energetic, his fair fame is still cherished in the tender recollections of the grateful millions of this vast empire, as the most revered and the most beloved of modern Philanthropists. His pane gyric has been pronounced by illustrious men of all ranks, and classes, and conditions of modern society—alike by the Asiatic and the European— equally in the Old World and the New. His career in Ireland was contemporaneous with that of the Liberator Daniel O'Connell. And it appeared then, in the life time of the two men, as it appears even now in the retrospect, in no degree dwarfed by the comparison. Theobald Mathew, by the sheer force of his Goodness and Benevolence, secured the love and homage of the whole Celtic race as com pletely as Daniel O'Connell did by his Genius and his Patriotism. The current of their respective courses ran, in that sense at least, parallel to each other, were equally wide, profound, and irresistible. The one vindicated the religious freedom and inde pendence of his fellow-countrymen by the power of his magnificent oratory. The other swept out of view and all but exterminated, the long-prevailing vice of drunkenness—not only amongst his fellow countrymen, but equally on both sides of the British Channel—nay, more than that, equally, it may even be said, upon both sides of the broad Atlantic. What the " unadorned eloquence" of Richard Cobden did in the furtherance of Free Trade principles—the equally inartificial, the less coolly logical, the more tenderly impassioned eloquence of Theobald Mathew accomplished in securing the triumph of the principles of Temperance. Insomuch, that while by an emphatic phrase, long familiar to us, Mr. Cobden has been frequently spoken of as the Apostle of Free Trade—a strangely material, for inasmuch as it is a strictly mercantile Apostleship!— Father Mathew has had consecrated to himself, by the spontaneous canonisation of his benign and beautiful popularity, the sacred title of " The Apostle of Temperance." The recognition of the radiant virtues of this illustrious man, was complete and universal during his own lifetime. It was simply impossible, indeed, that it could be other wise. Never had any benefactor of the human race more distinctly his mission, than this humble priest, the mere announcement of whose coming awoke as profound an enthusiasm, here, in this Pro testant England, as ever it did in Ireland among the devoted adherents of the Papacy. Wherever Father Mathew went, during the working portion of his career as a promoter of temperance, as the arch-promoter of temperance, his welcome was an ovation. On his arrival at Washington he was invited to attend in the house of the American Le gislature : and, as the Commons of England bad done in the instance of Warren Hastings, the Con gress of the United States rose to receive Theobald Mathew immediately he made his appearance amongst them. In the fashionale!e and intellectual society of London, he was welcomed with an un affected reverence and admiration. Earl Russell, then Lord John Russell, pronounced his eulogium in almost we might say unmeasured terms of homage—the eulogium of this Catholic Priest from Ireland—from (of all places in the wide world for the encomium of a Catholic Priest, and that Priest an Irishman I) the platform of Exeter Hall ! One of the most beautiful tributes ever offered to the name and fame of Father Mathew, moreover, was pronounced, in 1840, by the lips of the manly, gentle; noble-minded Bishop of Norwich. The grim Iron Duke bent for once in suavest courtesy in his bearing towards the Irish Priest, when they met in the London drawing-rooms. The ex-Chan cellor, Lord Brougham, enjoyed there, also, a playful parley of badinage with the Apostle of Temperance. warkanauth Tagore, the great oriental merchant, was among the most amiable and reverent of the good Father's motley crowd of correspondents. Born at Thomastown, in the county of Tipperary, Ireland, in 179 u, one of the sons of a tolerably pros perous farmer Theobald Mathew won his renown among the world's benefactors, under the blessing of God, by the simple but irresistible agency of his pure life, his heart-born eloquence as a preacher, and his profound and earnest philanthropy. Educated first of all, at a school in Kilkenny, afterwards at the College of Maynooth, and eventually by a pri vate tutor in Dublin, he had become, in 1814, a priest and a Capuchin Friar. Forty-two years he laboured—how zealously the world knows—at his vocation. What the core and heart of that voca tion was, is indicated by the title awarded to him by common consent, the title prefixed to these re marks of ours, a title that has in a measure, eclipsed or superseded his patronymic. Already several little memoirs have, at intervals, appeared recounting very briefly and fragmentarily, and, therefore, it need hardly be said, very unsatisfactorily, the life and labours of the Apostle of Temperance. It has remained, however, until this time, for the author of the remarkable work—" Rome : its Rulers, and its Institutions "—it has re mained for the gifted member for Dungarvan, for John Francis Maguire, to become, as he has now happily become, the Biographer of Father Mathew. With some few judicious illisions and abbreviations, with a moderate revision of the work in its next edition—the book here submitted to our consideration will take its place perma nently among those biographies in which the annals of our National Worthies are ranged in a select row upon our bookshelves. Foremost among them the masterpiece of all biographies, Boswell's Life of Dr. Johnson ; but, ranged there in the same cluster, works as various as Dr. Southey's Life of Nelson, as Sir James Mackintosh's Life of Sir Thomas More, as Mr. Lockhart's Life of Sir Welter Scott, as Charles Phillipps' Life of Curran. As the biography of a man so Good that, without a particle of what is called genius, he attained the height of the truest Great ness, Mr. Maguire's biography of Father Mathew is not unworthy, even before revision and abbrevia tion, of taking its place among that selected and treasured cluster of biographies. It realises to us the man, the priest, the orator, the philanthropist , the moral hero, the worker of all but social miracles. It familiarises us with everything appertaining to him. Hia little serving man John, that crabbed old retainer who see ms to combine somewhat of the characteristics ofChyca Charles Lever's Ba Lsyeris .

Throughout, the writer is unflag ingly "in the vein." The kindly influence of the mere thought of Father Mathew has evidently had something to do with this, no doubtof it. But apart from his theme, Mr. Maguire has m an if est l y h a d no stint of appropriate qualifications for his task —a task that has manifestly been for him, through out, a labour of love, It is time, howeTer, that we 1 Should let our author speak for himself by a few illustrative quotations. Does any one marvel as to what may have been, in truth, the predominant cha racteristic of Father Mathew's nature, and even, be it said, of his oratorical powers as well ? Let the following extract satisfy them, for once and. for all, as to— THE MAGIC OF FATHER MATHEW'S ELOQUENCE. Those who for the most part thronged to hoar him, and crowded his little church with that object, were not either inclined to be critical, or very capable of criticism. They came, in an humble spirit, to hear the Gospel expounded— to be told ofthe mercy and goodness of God —of the beauty and holiness of charity—by one whose life was the living example of the precepts he taught. What was it to them, if a simile was false, or a metaphor out of place, or an image occasionally tawdry, or a sentence wanting in polish, or a chain of reasoning loose and inconclusive ?—they crushed into that little temple to listen to the word of God preached by a man of God ; and in that expectation they were never disappointed. Once within that church, they yielded them selves, implicitly and unhesitatingly, to his spiritual and moral guidance, and they went with him whither he led them. Ay, and even those few who ordinarily could sit coldly in judgment upon the excellencies or the defects, the style or manner of a preacher, and who, perhaps, came just to see something of the young priest of whom the " common people" and the " old women" talked so much — even they, cool critics and lofty judges, as they held them selves to be, found themselves suddenly surprised by a. strange dimness of vision and a choking sensation in. the throat, at the unpretending pathos of the preacher. What was the charm that held spell-bound the close-packed hundreds beneath the pulpit, that riveted the attention of the crowded galleries, and moved the inmost hearts even of those who had come to criticise ? The earnestness of the preacher. Not the earnestness of the actor, who simulates, with cunning declamation and by impassioned gesture, the ardour of nature. No; it was the earnestness of truth, of sincerity, of belief. Father Mathew practised what he preached, and believed what he so persuasively and urgently enforced. Then, the emotion, which his voice made manifest to the ear, and which his agitated features made visible to the eye, was real, genuine, springing from the heart, thrilling his nerves, warming his blood, quickening his pulse—felt in every fibre of his frame. There was established between the preacher and the autFence the most complete and perfect identity of feel ing, the result of the sympathy which they mutually felt. As a most amusing specimen of Mr. Maguire's genuinely Irish sense of the humorous, take his account of the following grotesque incident in re— gard to— A MAUDLIN TEETOTALLER. It was in Waterford, on an occasion subsequent to Father Mathew's first visit, that the foliowing whimsical occur rence took place. The hall of the Court House was too con• fined in its space to accommodate the vast numbers that pressed on continually to take the pledge, and the weather being then peculiarly severe, the meetings were necessarily held in the Catholic Cathedral, a very fine and spacious building. In ono of the enormous batches, of which there, were several during the day, was a poor fellow who was de cidedly " the worse of liquor"—in fact, unmistakably tipsy. He nevertheless managed to repeat the words of the pledge with due gravity and decorum ; but no sooner had Father Mathew approached him to mark his forehead with the sign of the Cross, as was his custom, than the new member of the Temperance Society clutched his leader by the skirts of his coat with a grasp such as a drunken man can take, and, in a voice much broken by hiccups, cried out—" Father Ma - ma-chee, darlin', you m-m-ust k-k-iss me 1" "My dear, do let one go. God bless you, my dear child ; be a good boy for the future. There—Jo let me go," said Father Mathew: "No, Father Ma-thee, darlin', I won't 1-1-ave , go my hoult till I get wan k-k -iss I" " Oh, my dear, do let. me go 1" "No ; wan is all I ax, an I m-m-ust have it. Don't r-r-efuse a poor fellow-craychure wan kiss—only wan I" persisted the tender soul. Several gentlemen, including the clergymen in attendance, approached, and tried to pacify Jim, and induce him to quit his hold of Father Mathew's coat ; but all to no purpose. Jim was determined to have his "wan lc-k-iss." " Jim, avick, arn't you ashamed of yourself—the holy priest I—an' in the chapel, too I" re monstrated an old women near him. " Jim, you bosthoon. you I quit yer hould of his reverence this moment I" in sisted a sturdy friend at the other side, " No, not till get war, k-k-iss ; no, of I died for it, [ won't lave go." Father Mathew, seeing that unpleasant consequences were likely to ensue if Jim's rather inconvenient request were not at once complied with, resolved to make him happy, and accordingly kissed Jim on both cheeks, saying, " Now, James, my dear, go home and remain quiet, and be a sensible boy for the future." The " boy," we may remark, was not much short of 40 years of age. Jim relinquished , his grasp of the skirt of the coat, and retired, proud of his achievement. Another droll anecdote, related, as with a twinkling eye of appreciative fun, by Father Mathelied Biographer, is this one about— THE VILLAGE BAND. "Plaza your reverence, the gintlemen of the bend would like to know what chune your reverence would prefer." " Oh, my dear, anything; let the gentlemen please there selves." " Your reverence, they'd like to lave it to Y° 11 " self." "Well, my dear," God Save the Queen' is avert' fine air, and so is 'Patrick's Day,'" " I'm afeared, sir, we' re only learning them chunes ; but would your reverence like the • Conquering Haro ?' " " Had n't we that before, InY dear ?" Well, you had, your reverence. Perhaps your reverence would be after liking Love not ?'—that's a mighty sweet thing." "It is, indeed, my dear, a very nice air ; but had n't we that also ?" " Well, you had, your reverence; but the gintlemen of the band thought you'd like to plaza yourself." Father Mathew, of course, un derstood the limited nature of the band's repertoire, and so he gravely called for the " Conquering Hero," and expressed a hope that it might be followed, in the course of the evening, by that delightful air, " Love not." The band felt the more proud at having paid this graceful com pliment, and they executed the doomed pieces of music several times that night with unabated vigour and un diminished discord. As examples of the more serious and elevated powers of Mr. Maguire, as the writer of a book worthy of preservation among our biographical annals, several passages have been marked by us as extracts, that we are, nevertheless, precluded from giving, here, at once, by way of additional quotation. It happens, of course, purely as a coincidence, but still even as a mere coincidence, it is not unworthy of being here remarked, that in this late autumn, or early winter season of 1863, within seven years from the date of the death, in the 6Gth year of his age, of The Apostle of Tem perance, Father Mathew's memory is being simultaneously commemorated—by the author's pen and by the sculptor's chisel through the statue raised in the city of Cork by the gifted hand of J. H. Foley, R,A., and through the biography here completed by the no less gifted hand of J. F. Maguire, M.P.—a noble statue—a beautiful and most impressive biography. A Day's Ride ; a Life's Romance. By Charles Lever, Author of " Cuarles O'Malley," &o. Two Vols. Second Edition. Chapman and Hall. That pen of magic which before now in the hands of Charles O'Malley, Harry Lorrequer, and other dashing favourites "of Ours," has conjured up such scenes of fun and frolic, of daring and desparation • has, alas, fallen into the degenerate hands of Alger non Sydney Potts, who, with praiseworthy perse verance, employs it, after the fashion of the immor tal Dogberry, in " writing himself down an ass." Mr. Potts is assuredly related to the Rev. Alfred Hoblush whom we have recently encountered. Both are singularly ungainly, uninteresting individual s. who go about singing their own imaginary praises, offending against all the proprieties and ignoring the customary civilities of life with most unblushing effrontery. Such a character may excite a laugh during a half hour's acquaintance, but proves a very dull and disagreeable companion for two long weary volumes. His mishaps and misdemeanours, which are many and multiform, are tame and spiritless, compared with the dashing exploits of the gallant O'Malley and the reckless Lorrequer. We are ill' dined to regard Mr. Lever's last work—and we sal so in full recollection and appreciation of his bril liant style and vivid powers —as a mistake. It origi nally appeared, as our readers are aware, in the pa ge; of " All the Year Round ;" and it now comes forth in two volumes, as a second edition, from the hands of another publisher. Mr. Lever's great reputation and wide -spread popularity may do much even Of this work, but the work itself will do nothing to in crease that popularity or to enhance that reputation. Dismissing Algernon Sydney to his congenial gni' lipots, we will hope before long to receive at the hands of Mr. Lever some more worthy successor t° his former masterpieces. RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR NOTTINGHAM. —On Sunday evening an accident of a rather serious nature occurred on the Midland Railway, near Notting' ham. About 520 p.m. the passenger train for Buxton log the Nottingham station, and upon reaching the Lenton Gate (two miles from the town), the engine struck horse which had strayed on the line. The shock was very severe and turned the last carriage but:one off the lice, but, fortunately, without upsetting it. This was the only car riage that left the rails, and the train was almost imme diately stopped. None of the passengers sustained any in jury. The horse was killed on the spot, its body being c la to pieces% DRURY-LANE THEATRE. The new farce produced here last night, entitled "My Heart is in the Highlands," was received with incessant laughter from the rising to the falling of the curtain. Two cockneys (Mr. Delmore and Mr. G. Weston) visit the Highlands, assume the costume, drink the whisky, affect the sports, and ape the manners of the land of mountain and lake, and with what success may be imagined when they have for the first time left Whitechapel. Mr. Delmore takes the lead in the extreme but comic absurdities which follow, although ho was humorously assisted by Mr. G. Weston. Dressed in the extreme Highland costume, with their claymores by their aides, they get into quarrels with out end, and suffer agonies when the Highland sports are imposed on them. The fooling having continued with in cessant roars of laughter for a sufficient time, the farce, or rather small pantomime, is brought to a close, amidst the clamorous approbation of the audience, by a Highland dance. The grand play of `• Manfred" seems even to in• crease in attraction, and draws crowded houses nightly ; and the combination of fine acting, the splendid poetry, the charming scenery, aryl the excellent choruses are evidently having as much effect on the public as mere sensational pieces, which were thought to be the only things for the people. HAYMARKET THEATRE. Novelties scorn crowding upon us at this theatre, and last night another comic one-act piece was produced, entitled " Little Daisy." The slight interest roats with Miss Maria Harris, who personates in one scene the Princess Henrietta, the youngest sister of Charles the Second. The scene is laid at the close of our great civil war, when some of the Republican troops seek a farmhouse where the un happy young Princess has been concealed by Daisy end her friends. The Princess is never seen, but Daisy ap pears for her, and by her commanding and Royal airs im poses upon the officer in pursuit, who is delayed long enough to allow the real Princess to escape. When this is dreeted she declares herself, and the republican officer (Mr. Rowe) having fallen in love with her, all ends joyously. Isis.
