In introducing the City Mercantile Club and Dining Hall Company to the public the Directors have pleasure in knowing that they are supplying a great public want, it being universally admitted that— A Club adapted to the constantly increasing growth and requirements of the commercial and mercantile world of the City of London, and A higher class public dining and refreshment hall are greatly wanted. The Club, with its private dining, reading, and smoking rooms for the exclusive use of members, will be conducted under the management of a committee, strictly upon the principles of similar establishments, with a small entrance fee and subscription, and a moderate dining-room tariff, adapted to the views of menof the commercial world. The establishment will contain from 30 to 40 bed 'rooms. Holders of ten shares and upwards will (subject to the ballot) be admitted to the membership of the club, without entrance fee. The public dining halls will be on a scale worthy of the City, and capable of comparison with any establishment on the Continent. The Directors have purchased in one of the best and most central situations in the City, in close proximity to the principal places of business, a magnificent range of buildings (recently erected under the superintendence of an eminent architect) in the centre of Cheapside, having nearly 30,000 feet of floor space, and pre-eminently adapted to the re quirements of all branches of the proposed establishment. It will be for the consideration of the Directors whether it is desirable to let off the ground and basement floors, the residue of the premises providing ample space for the re quirements of the undertaking, and should these floors be so let off they will alone command a rental sufficient to guarantee a substantial dividend upon the paid-up capital. The Directors have carefully considered the probable profits and returns of this undertaking, and their most moderate calculations show a dividend of from 30 to 40 per cent. The Directors congratulate themselves on having secured the invaluable co-operation of several gentlemen whose practical knowledge and experience will be truly desirable. In consequence of a large amount of shares having been already applied for (and a most encouraging number of applications made for Club membership),the Directors are compelled to add that the list of applications for shares can remain open for a limited period only. In the meantime applications for the unaliotted shares must be made to the Solicitors or Secretary; the required deposit having been previously paid to the Bankers of the Company. The Articles of Association can be seen at the Company's Offices. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES. N o. To the Directors of the City Mercantile Cub and Dining Hall Company (Limited).

This Bank is established in order to meet a want which has long been experienced in Mexico—the want of those assured Banking facilities which have done so much to stimulate the industry and develop the resources of other countries. 'I it, field before such an Institution, which Mexico and the South American States present, is most inviting. Its re sources in silver are boundless, while the climate of this wonderful country is such that almost every production of the soil can be cultivated to an extent which can scarcely be imagined. With the hoped-for success which is to be anticipated from the policy of the new Government, Mexico has a great future before her. Money there commands at all times a high re munerative price, ranging from 10 to is per cent., and, as the field will be almost free, the Bank will be able to select those securities which arc ample and undoubted, on which to make its several advances. - It will also constitute a favourable feature of the Mexican 1 1 Bank that, as a strong London Institution, which has already secured to itself promise of the support of influential Mexi can and South American houses, it will command the confi dence of local depositors, who are at the present tine in the hands of private money-dealers, but who, so soon as such a Banking Institution is established in their midst, will lose no time in transferring considerable deposits to such esta blishment, as offering a security, ample and sufficient, which the private money-dealers there do not afford. The Mexican Bank will commence its operations in Mexico, and the magnitude of the field there may be estimated by the subjoined statistics: — Imports cf silver into Great Britain from Mexico and South America (except Brazil), for toe eleven months ending November 30, 1863 Imports of gold ditto ditto 3,493,914 The exports from this country, consisting of Manchester goods and other , •ritish manufactures, are very considerable; and this trade will no doubt be extensively augmented as the empire becomes consolidated and the confidence of merchants in the stability of the Government is secured. The Directors of the Mexican Bank will also establish a Branch in Valparaiso, the great commercial sea port of Chili, and where the want of the facilities which such an institu tion could afford is much experienced by English and Ameri can, as well as the native mercantile firms, carrying on the great trade of thaf important territory. Arrangements are in contemplation for the incorporation of an existing successful Banking Institution with the Mexi can Bank. _ No promotion money will be given in the establishment of the Mexican Bank, preliminary expenses to be confined to necessary disbursements. _ The remuneration of the Dliaectora left to the Share , holders. _ Prospectuses and forms of applications for shares may be obtained of the Brokers, Bankers, Solicitors, and at the Tem porary Offices of the Company, but no application for shares will be considered unless a deposit of £1 per share has been previously paid to the Bankers of the Company. The Articles of Association can be seen at the Offices of the Solicitors. __ In the event of no allotment being' made, the deposit will be returned without deduction, and should the number al lotted he less than the number applied for, the payment in excess will be applied towards the amount due.

ScilLEswiG, Feb. '7. King Christian was in Schleswig this day week, and also on the Ist inst., and the people here say that he was very dejected. Bishop Monrad was with him. At 12 o'clock on the 31st came the Prus sian officers sent by Marshal Wrangel with a sum mons to the Danes to evacuate the Duchy. Gen. Meza was here on that day, and received them. They came out of his house laughing—it is sup posed at his appearance, for Meza, reputed a good General, and who distinguished himself in the former Schleswig-Holstein campaign, is said to be very eccentric in his manners and style of dress. It is reported that the King asked if the position were tenable under present circumstances and against the force expected soon to assail it. Meza replied that it was not, and thereupon received orders to retire from it, the King being decidedly averse to blood shed which could lead to no good result. His Majesty returned to Copenhagen on the 2d inst., on which day the first combat of the campaign took place. It is said here, but I know not whether on good grounds, that the Danes would ha7e evacuated continental Schleswig but that Wrangel's demand included the island of Alsen, and that this they would not give up. Ido not discover any traces of vindictive feeling towards the Danish army (although there may be a good.deal towards the Go vernment) among the persons here with whom I have as yet conversed, and therefore I am the more disposed to accept as correct the details they give me of the events of the past weak. They accuse the Danish soldiers of no excesses ; but speak of them as discouraged, and as having had very severe hard ships to endure. They attribute their depression, in great part, to the large number of soldiers of the reserve, lately called in, to be found in their ranks. These old soldiers, many of whom are married men, and have long since been released from under the colours, to which they doubtless little ex pected a summons to return, obeyed it most unwillingly when it came, and the word " home " was ever on their lips, especially in the case of the Jutlanders. Moreover, they have had rough work of it, in weather as inclement as ever I saw, bivouacking in the Dannewerk day and night. We are told of some of them bivouacking also in the public square in this town without even straw to lie upon. It is said here that the Danes had nearly 40,000 men in Schleswig, including Angelo and Alsen, and that their whole army is 60,000, but that a great many were sick, some it was not safe to bring forward, and others were in the Islands. Fourteen thousand men were quartered in and near the town of Schleswig. That every available man had been called out, and even more than there was time properly to equip, is argued from the alleged fact that two regiments which came up a couple of days before the retreat, were attired in uniforms of various colours, as if the last resources of old stores had been put in requisition. To facilitate their re treat, Schleswigers tell me, the Danes, on Friday, asked for three hours' suspension of hostilities, in order to bury their dead, and took advantage of this short breathing time quietly to move off. They began this movement at 7 p.m., but it was 11 o'clock before the last troops got away. The Schleswigers immediately sent to the headquarters of Gen. Gab lenz, the Austrian commander, to give him notice of the retreat, which he seems at first to have had diffi culty in believing. His quarters wero an hour and a half from this place, and the Danes got about five hours' start. At three this morning the alarm was sounded in Schleswig town. This was caused by the arrival of a large number of wounded men belong ing to the pursuing force. They had come up with the Danes at Bilschow, less than five miles from Flensburg, and had suffered severely. Exact par ticulars of the affair are unobtainable, but it is said that the Austrian advance fell into an ambuscade prepared for it by the retreating foe. Since the Aus trian column, however, had come up with the Danes before reaching Flensburg, the Schleswigers evi dently cherish a hope that the latter will have been considerably cut up. lt appears they sent off their train of stores, ammunition, Sze., before they started themselves, and only a short time before, and this measure may seriously impede the progress of the retiring troops, the roads being in a bad state for vehicles. A great deal of snow has fallen since the day before yesterday, and still continues to fall. The action that took place on the 3d, chiefly between the villages of Upper and Lower Selk, and which ended by the capture of the fortified position of Wedelsparge, was seen very well from Schleswig. From various particulars that were related to me last night on my way from Kiel to Rendsburg, the Austrians seem to have fought with great dash and gallantry, the Martini Regiment especially, which charged repeatedly with the bayonet, and sustained a heavy loss. The Danes, I learn here, also lost con siderably, and the Schleswigers think that a reso- lute attack upon the Dannewerk would certainly have been successful, so great was the discourage ment that prevailed. They estimate the Danish leas at Missunde at five officers and 200 men, which is less than that of the Prussians, and, as the latter retired without effecting anything beyond setting some barns and cottages on fire with their shells, the Danes may claim the advantage on that day. At Klosterkrug, on the 4th, the 21st Danish Regi ment and two other battalions were engaged, and a number of men went over to the Austrians. On Thursday and Friday there was canonnading between the Austrians at Lopstedt, a village on the east shore of an inlet of the Schlei, and exactly opposite the eastern extremity of the great Dannewerk, and a D Knish battery on the little island of Morenberg, very near Schleswig. It lasted the greater part of Friday, and when it ceased the Danes, at six o'clock, sent a flag of truce to ask a short interval for the burial of their dead, but which respite, when obtained, they employed in another manner. They , abandoned one gun upon the island. The occupa tion by the Austrians of the advantageous position of Lopstedt, which naturally fell to them after the action at Selk, is said to have been one of Meza's reasons for considering the Dannewerk position untenable, or at least to have confirmed him in that conviction. The various small engagements above referred to were hardly on a scale to give them much general interest, but HEALTH OF THE METROPOLIS. (From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.) Sixteen hundred and fifty-five deaths were regis.. tered in the metropolitan districts in the week that ended last Saturday. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1854-63, the average number was 1,346, which, if raised in proportion to the increase of population during these years, gives a mortality of 1,481 for the present time. The deaths last week therefore exceeded by 174 the estimated number. Diseases of the respiratory organs were the cause of 438 deaths,of which 299 were attributed to bron c'aitis, 90 to pneumonia, and 18 to asthma. The deaths referred to phthisis (or consumption) were 186. The deaths by zymotic diseases were 340 ; 10 deaths were ascribed to smallpox, 23 to measles, 58 to scarlatina, 24 to diphtheria, 68 to typhus, and 81 to whoopingcough. The deaths of 11 nonagenarians are recorded, the oldest of whom was a man who had attained the age of 98 years. Four children of a coachman, aged 3, 4,6, and 7 years respectively, and residing at 55, Park-crescent-mews West, Marylebone, died of scarlatina, accompanied by diphtheria. The twin daughters of a tailor residing at Gerard-street, Soho, were found suffocated in bed. The wife of a lighterman, residing at Windmill-street, Lambeth, died of bronchitis, hastened by want of sufficient bed clothing. The infant son of a cabinet maker died at 94, Green-street, Bethnal-green, from the absence of sufficient breast milk through poverty. The in fant daughter of a French polisher died at 44 Bri tannia-street, Gray's-inn-lane, from inflammation of the mange, accelerated by want. Last week the births of 1,055 boys and 1,023 girls, in all 2,078 children, were registered in Lon don. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years j 1854.63 the average number (corrected) was 2,069. METROPOLITAN WATERS IN JANUARY, 1864. According to the analyses of Dr. Robert Dundas Thomson, F.R.S., the London waters contain from one to two grains of greater amount of total impu rity than in the preceding month. The organic im purity is also:greater in all the Thames waters. The Southwark water exhibits little or no deposit, which it did in great excess in the three preceding months. The Kent possesses no surface impurity, and it is to be hoped may not again be contaminated with impure surface water. Covent-garden well had much impurity from soakage, as there was present no less than -408 grains of ammonia per gallon. The smallest quantity of organic and total impurity was obtained from New River water. Total impurity Organicim per gallon. purity. bra. or deg - . grs. or deg. 0•0 0.0 Distilled Water .....

At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 30.025 in. The barometrical reading decreased from 30.29 in. at the beginning of the week to 29.86 in. on Wed nesday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 37.8 deg., which is 0.2 deg. above the average of the same week in 43 years (as deter mined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest day tempera ture was 50.0 deg. on Wednesday. The lowest night temperature was 27 9 deg. on Friday. The entire range of temperature in the week was, therefore, 22 . 1 deg. The mean temperature of the water of the Thames was 40'8 deg. The difference between the mean dew-point temperature and air tempera ture was 4'6 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 83, complete saturation being repre sented by 100. There was hoar frost on Sunday and Monday. A little rain fell on Tuesday and Wednesday, and snow fell on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. ADVERTISE:IIEIS .

The progress of Mauritius, as the chief seat of the produc tion of sugar by free labour, has been such as t 3 create a large and valuable landed property. which affords an excel lent field for the operation of a Land Mortgage Bank or Credit Fonder. The following table of the exports of sugar from Mauritius gives the best pro fof this progress, and shows how firmly the prosperity of the colony is now established : Tons. 1850 1851 1852 1853 1854 1855 1856 1857 1858 1859 1860 The crop of 1861, owing to a hurricane, only produced 108.000 tons, but that of 1862 reached 160,000 tons, This production tends every year to increase with the faci lities of obtaining labour from India, with extended cultiva tion and irrigation, and with the establishment of railroads, which are in course 01 execution, and will be partially open to traffic in the early part of this year. At the present rate of production the annual value of the sugar crop may be taken at £3,00" 1 ,000, and the fee-simple value of the sugar e states at £6,000,000 ; in addition to which there is a large amount of real property in lands, houses, and other forms. There is also great scope for useful outlay of capital in im provements on estates, by erecting new machinery, clearing waste lands, and irrigating. The rate of interest is exceedingly high, and a rate equal to 10 per cent. per annum, or 8 per cent. interest, with 2 per cent. e,ommission, would be readily paid on loans redeemable by annuities, and with a security never less than double the advance. It is estimated that a sum of £2,000,000 might be safely in vested at this rate. Supposing £1,000,000 only to be invested at a difference of 4 per cent. between the rate paid upon bonds in England and received in Mauritius, it is evident that the profit on the paid-up portion of the share capital, which would not exceed £lOO,OOO or £150,000, would be very large. The remainder of the share capital of £500,000, together with the amount of first mortgages on first-class real pro perty, which would always equal the amount of bonds issued, would thus give these bonds an unexceptionable security. The legislation of Mauritius affords great advantages for the establishment of a Credit Foncier, It is the same as that of the French Code Civil, and a law providing a simple and effective registration of all mortgages has just been passed for the express purpose of facilitating the establishment of Companies to lend upon land. Under these circumstances an application has been made to the Directors of the Land Mortgage Bank of India, on be half of a large number of the principal members of the Legis lative Council and Landed Proprietors of Mauritius, to esta blish a branch there. The Directors of the Land Mortgage Bank were of opin'on that Mauritius promised an excellent field of operations, but as the nature of the properties and tenures of land are diffe rent from those of India, to which the original subscriptions of their Bank were invited, it :vita thought better to rai.e a separate capital and constitute anew Company, which, while connected with the Mortgage Bank by friendly relations, should yet be a distinct institution. The close connection between Mauritius and India renders this alliance peculiarly desirable, and will be the means of securing valuable busi ness to the new Company, while the expenses of sn office and establishment in London will be diminished by mutually advantageous arrangements. A deposit of £2 is payable on allotment, and calls by in stalments up to £lO per share will be made, after which it is intended to issue Bonds. The Articles of Association lie at the offices of the Solici tors for inspection. Applications may be made in the annexed form, addressed to the Offices of the Land Mortgage Bank of India (Limited), Change-alley, or to the Brokers.

This Company . is formed, not for the purpose of establish ing a new Marine Insurance Office in rivalry with offices already opened, but with the object of continuing the existing - Maritime Insurance business so long conducted by Mr. Henry Case, under the firm of Price and Co., in Exchange-buildings, Liverpool. Mr. Case's services, as underwriter, have been secured upon terms satisfactory to the Directors, dependent in part upon the success of the Company, and without the payment of any "promotion money," either in cash or shares. It is anticipated that whilst the extensive connection al ready possessed by Messrs. Price and Co. will be retained and consolidated by the formation of a Company, the busi ness will, at the same time, be considerably increased in consequence of Marine Insurance Companies being now very generally preferred to private underwriters. The success which has attended the operations of Marine Insurance Companies in Liverpool, may be gathered from the present value of their Shares in the market, via.:— Amount Present Equal paid. price. to The Thames and Mersey £2 £7 0 0 250 percent. pm.

Forms of application for shares may be obtained from the brokers, and also at the temporary offices of the Company, 4 and 5, Brown's -buildings, Liverpool.

PRICE ...... 4 d. STAMPED doubtless the German papers are full of them, and will find much more to say concerning them. As I write, a report reaches me that, besides the fighting at Bilchau, which is said to have been severe, there has been a short encounter at Dupel, the Danish fortified position on the mainland, cover ing the passage to the island of Alsen. Soon after noon yesterday Duke Frederick of Augustenburg was proclaimed Duke of Schleswig- Holstein in the town of Schleswig, a Dr. Sawer raking the lead upon the occasion and making a speech. I see by the papers that a Berlin Minis terial jiminal lately denied that the Duke cf Augustenburg had been proclaimed anywhere in Schleswig. The denial is worthless. I was at Eckernforde myself when he was there proclaimed, in numerous smaller places I heard of the same cere mony having been gone through, and my belief is that it has been so in every town and village in Schleswig which the Danes have left. Nor can it be called altogether a mere ceremony, for there is not a doubt that the Duke is extremely popular in both duchies, and that the people inseparably asso ciate in their minds and hearts his accession to the throne with their permanent emancipation from Danish rule and with the union of Schleswig and Holstein. The tri-coloured banner of his cause is at this moment waving in profusion from the windows of this town, side by side with the red, black, and yellow flag of Germany. The snow continues to fall heavily, with a driving wind and raw cold. Schleswig town, a poor sort of place for the capital even of this duchy, but with scenery around it which, I dare say, is pretty at a more favourable season, looks bleak and dreary on this first Sunday in February and seventh day of the war. It is full of visitors from Holstein, some of whom, in their patriotic eagerness to see the emancipated town, have walked up from Rends burg, a distance of nearly 20 miles. To-day the railway from Rendsburg hither is open more or less and as circumstances permit. The war has of course thrown everything out of gear as regards the regular means of locomotion. The constant pas sage of military trains, conveying stores, soldiers, &c., has deranged all the usual trains. Travellers from Kiel to Rensburg, who left the former place before 6 p.m. yesterday, arrived at the latter at past midnight, having had to wait three and a-half hours at Neumunster. They were prodigiously numerous, for every body who can spare the time and money is bent upon going over the ground from which the Danes have recently been driven. Of the state of the coach roads, and of the extent to which they are crowded with long strings of carts conveying stores to the front, you may form an idea from the fact that it took a pair of stout post-horses from half-past 1 . until past 7 this morning to get over the distance between Rendsburg and this place. The railway to Flensburg is not yet open, but it is to be expected that it soon will be so, now that the Danes have been driven beyond that town. _,z- , Naval and Military Intellige/ice:, d~~p~' THE NAVY. The Geyser, 6, paddle, Commander B. P•-•chell, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday from Dev onport with supernumerary seamen from her Mojesty's ship St. George, paid out of commission at that port. The Frederick William, 84, screw steamship, of 3,240 tons and 500 horse power, has been brought down Portsmouth harbour and placed alongside the dockyard to complete her outfit from the first-ekss reserve for immediate commission. It is rumoured that the Princess Ro3 - al, screw liue-of-hattie ship, the ship which has been named as the flagship of the future Comm nder-in-Chiel en the East India' and Cape Station, Rear-Admiral St. Vincent King, has been found to be so defective hat it was necessary to substitute some other ship far the p ui , pose, and hence the present orders for the F William. ieri~'.k The Urgent, screw troopship, refitting the ( ship basin, of Portsmouth dockyt - trd for-couuniss:,on by Capt. Thndersnn, late in command of the • screw troopship Megt•e7a, is undergoing vr:r'y tensive repairs on her hull, externally and inter nally. In addition to what is required to the iron hull below the upper deck the woodwork of the latter is being almost entirely renewed with new work. The fastenings of her plating under water were found very defective, owing to the Vi741.1t. 01 some protective composition covering the rivet heads on the ship's inner skin. XOll The Sharpshooter, 6, iron gunvessel, scz.zw, No. 6 dock at Portsmouth, is under repair by shipwright department, and is expected to be com missioned when completed in her refit, for home and experimental service. This vessel is fitted with Captain Warren's patent bow rudder, for steering the ship when going astern, and is coated internally with Spence's patent cement. The Sparrowhawk, 4 screw gun vessel, has a large number of hands employed upon her, repair ing defects in dock at Portsmouth. She is in a very dilapidated state, and the greater part of her bow and stern will have to be entirely reconstructeki. The Calcutta, sailing line-of-battle ship, is fit ting by the shipwrights in No. 2 dock at Portsmouth, to take the place of the Illustrious, es tender to the Excellent, gunnery ship at Portsmouth, the formcr ship having been condemned. The Calcutta's ports are undergoing alterations to suit the different de scriptions of ordnance which she will carry for ex perimental purposes, as well as for ordivary prac- Lice and drill. She is also having a port cut an each side 7ft. by 6ft., through which to take in heavy ordnance and carriages, in lieu of hoisting in over all, as has hitherto been the case. This ship was built in Bombay in the year 1831, of teak, and the extraordinary soundness of her timbers at present furnishes a strange commentary on the flimsy build and rottenness of such vessels as the Sparre whawk and scores of others which have been constructed of late years. The undocking of the 21 gun corvette Wol verene at Woolwich, for the reception of the iron cased sloop Enterprise, is ordered to be deferred until Saturday, by reason of the entrance and off ing abreast of the dock being encumbered withrrtud and gravel, which it is difficult to remove earlier. A couple of dredging-machines, employed in cleaning out the inner basin, are engaged in the work, and the refuse is removed in barges to aid in extending the wharf, which is in progress at the extremity of the arsenal. The Wolverene will be afterwards brought into the inner basin, to be fitted for commission, and is ordered to be ready by the c'ose of next month. The paddlewheel sloop Gorgon, Commander Wil son, will be put out of commission this morning, and the crew paid off at 10 o'clock at Woolwich. Mr. Brain, appointed assistant-master shipwright at IVool wich, has taken up his duties in succession to Mr. Thornton, promoted to Chatham yard. Mr. Brain has obtained experience in various positioes in most of her Majtisty's dockyards. He has been employed at Portsmoutli during a consecutive period of 16 years, and hes there been eeglged in the building of the Victoria, It)yal Sovereign, Prince of Wales, Marlborough, Duncan, and other ships. The Lords CoMmissioners of the Admiralty have expressed their satisfaction with his services in a letter of commendation and thanks. Spreading of the News of Thackeray's Death, (AS PICTURESQUELY DESCRIBED BY HENRY KINGSLEY IN THE FEBRUARY NUMBER OF " MACMILLAN.") And those who loved him are left lamenting because he is gone, and because they missed the few last priceless words which he might have spoken, We honour their grief, but let them remember that it is shared by others—that William Makopeace Thackeray has seventy millions of mourners. Just now the mails are going out. A hundred splendid steamships are speeding swiftly over every sea, east, west, and north, from the omphalos called London, to carry the fortnight's instalment of British history and British thought into every land where the English language is spoken. But the saddest news they carry—sadder news than they have carried for many a month—is the announcement of the death of William Thackeray. It will come first to New York, where they loved him as we did. And the ffaneurs of the Broadway, and even the busy teen in Wall-street will stay their politics and remem ber him. They will say " Poor Thackeray is dead." Though they may refuse to hear the truth—though they choose to insult us beyond endurance, at stated times—let us keep one thing in mind : the flags at New York were hung half-mast high when Havelock died. Let us remem ber that. And so the news will travel southward. Soros lean, lithe, deer-eyed quadroon lad will sneak, run swiftly, pause to listen, and then hold steadily forward across the desolate war-wasted space between the Federal lines and the smoul dering watchfires of the Confederates, carrying the news brought by the last mail from Europe, and will come up to a knot of calm, clear-eyed, lean-faced Confederate officers— (Oh I that such men should be wasted in such a quarrel, for .h(3 sin was not theirs after all) ; and one of these men will run his eye over the telegrams, and will say to the others, " Poor Thackeray is dead." And the news will go from picket to picket, along the limestone ridges, which hang above the once happy valleys of Virginia, and will p,:ss south, until Jefferson Davis—the man so like Stratford de B,edeliffe—the man of the penetrating oyes and of the ilia c lose-set lips—the man with the weight of an empire on his shoulders—will look up from his papers and say, with heartfelt sorrow, " The author of The Virginians' is dead." upon the hill-side at Simla, there will stand soon a group of English, Scotch, and Irish gentlemen, looking ever the great plain below, and remarking to one another how mush the prospect had changed lately, and how the grey Irown jungle has been slowly supplanted by the bril liant emerald green of the cotton plant, and b y a thousan d threads of silver water from the irrigati on t renches. They hopingthat Lawrence will succeed poor Lord Elgin, and l that will not be sacrificed i n that accursed Calcutta; they will wi he llbewondering how it fares with Crawley. Then a dawk will toil up the hill-side with the mail; and in a few minutes they will be saying, "Lawrence is appointed ; Crawley is acquitted ; b u t poor Thackcray is dead. " The pilot, when h e comes out in his leaping whaleboat, and boards the mail steamer, as she lies-to off the heads which farm the entrance gates to our new Southern Empire, will ask the new s o f t h e captain ; and he will be to ld , " L or d Elgin and Mr. Thackeray aro dead." That evening they will know it in Melbourne, and it will be announced at all the theatres; the people, dawdling in the hot streets half the night through, waiting for the breaking up of the weather, will tell it to one another, and talk of him. The sentence which we have repeated so often that it has half lost its meaning, will have meaning to them. " William Thacheray is dead." So the news willtly throughthe seventy million souls who speak the English language. And he will lie cold and deaf in his grave, unconscious, after all his work, of his greatest triumph; unconscious that the great, so-called Anglo- Saxon race little knew how well they loved him till they lost him. Vanitas vanitatum I " Let us shut up the box and the puppets, for the play is played out." OMINOUS ACCOUNTS are received of the doings of the Italians, who are preparing for war by collect ing an immense amount of material at Ancona. Garibaldi has redoubb d his earnestness of appal to his countrymen for the million of arms, and men to back them. It is salcl this furore has been awakened by .Austria's proceedings in connexion with Prussia, and the belief that there is a com pact for the latter to have Kiel and the former to be defended in her possession of Venice; so the sootier a check is given to the design by Italy the better.
