PROSPECTUS. ~The otiect of this Bank is to supply the great requirement additional Banking accommodation in Sweden, and to !I'd a mediu m f or th e a l rea d y important and constantly licreasing financial transactions teiween that country and ~ogland, as well as for the large Banking operations which aule trade of Sweden with 1 he East and West Indies, America, nd the Brazils centres in Loudon. The trade and industry of Sweden have made rapid pro lgroess during th e l as t thi rty years, but, more particulany dur n,the last ten y e ars. Th e va l ue o f i mports an d exports, which amounted In 1852 only to £4,725,0u0, rose in 1861* to .10,42, 221 showing in increase in the nine years of about 126 percent. England participated in this import and export in 1852 to the extent of £1,214,777, and in 1161 to the extent of X 3,276,332. The trade with the East and West Indies, Brazils, and America amounted in 1852 to £836,833, against, in 1861, The amount of Bills of Exchange sold through Brokers on the Exchancre of Stockholm and Gothenburg, amounted i n 1 5 5 2 to— £1,269,606 Banco m 21,013,422 fr,3,752,871 and in 1862 to £3,273,790 Banco m 44,688,541 fr. 15,458,434 Showing an crease - in the 10 years of . £2,001,184 Banco m 23,675,029 fr. 11,705,553 t o ormerly Sweden had to import large quantities of corn, but improvements in the system of farming, and an extended cultivation of land, leave uow annually large quantities for exportation. The total export of all kinds of grain in 1852 only amounted to 132,125 quarters, but rose in 1861 to 1 ,078,436 quarters, showing an increase in the nine years of about 975 per cent. Great as this progress in all branches of the industry of Sweden has been, the prospects for the future are still more promising, for an extensive and judicious system of railways in a'l directions of the country is gradually removing the ddliculties and reducing the cost of .ransport, which have hitherto proved great obstacles to the production ot the bulky articles forming t , ,e t-taples of Sweden, and the system of frce trade which the country has adopted cannot fail to assist materially in Ufa development of its great resources, and in e xtending its commerce. The banking facilities and circulation of the country have tot kept pace with the pr, gress of its trade. k 52 there were in Sweden a State Bank, with a paid-up capital of And eight Joint-Stock Banks, with an aggregate 281,649 Paid-up capital of £1,351,979 AIId Zainst present capital of the State Bank £1,333,333k or twenty-nine Joint Stock Banks now existing 666,65c1 £2,000,000 The total circulation of notes amounted at the end Ti 1862, to e total circulation a notes amounted at the eud of 186 s to These figures show that while the foreign trade of the e(3 ), llll try has increased by 126 per cent. in two years, therehas been an increase in ten years of banking capital only to the extent of about een 50 per cent., and in the circulating medium The ' business of the State Bank and of all the Joint-Stock r n a ks with one exception, consists prino.pally in granting ,'„ans and credit against securities of different kinds and per -"TIM guarantees, and they have done little to encourage de- Powts or discounts of bills. Bake Stockholm Enskilda Bank is the exception, This was established towards the end of 1856, with a paid capital of about Z 56,000, and it deserves spe3ial mention aimed at lo n r en i n ts ragi sk n ilf g ul management, which has particularly deposits, and at discounting Inland Bills of Xehange. The results of its operations have been very B uccessfui, At the end of 1862 ft had a reserve fund of £44,431, having paid dividends of 20 per cent. for 1862 as well as for 1861. The dt posits with this Bank amounted at the end of 1862 teg552,750. The profits of all the other Banks have been highly re munerative. The n old habit s of people keeping their money under their ow care, and of making payments with cash, instead of using cheques, still very generally prevails, and owing to the few channels for discount of Inland Bills, credit sales mostly quire m see nl p t b a o n o c k e ; instead of being represented by ets are always costly is. that while mercantle re the y and often nearly impossible to procure at almost any rate' even upon th e very best securi ties, so that Merchants have frequently no other alternative left for the supply of their requirements than the use of ex pensive foreign credits. All circumstances warrant th e conviction that Sweden offers an extensive• and very p ro fi ta b le field of operations for a New Bank, and at the sam e ti me that such a confer great benefits on the trade and commercaeaketm the ust country. This conviction has led to the establishment of the E and Swedish Bank no s h The head establishment of this Bank will be in London, With branches at Stockholm, Gothenburg, and such other Places in Sweden and Norway as may be found de.irable by the Directors ; and with Agencies at Paris, Hamb urg, Am sterdam, and other plac , s abroad. All b;anches are to be under the control of the head estabii lishment in England, superintended by a local Board. Ma 3:lagers having experience of English Banking will be ap- Innted, in order to introduce the advantages of that system anut o Sweden. The business of the Bank will include : The opening of current accounts. The receipt of moneys on deposit at interest. The purchase and saleot n British t l a o n an d f s o . reign securities.

Liverpool Commercial-buildings, Water-street. Nothing has been more remarkable, in connection with the progress of Lancashire, than the rapid extension of the Steam Trade of Liverpool. In the year 1852 the tonnage of foreign steamers entered inwards at the Custom-house was 188,715 tons, while in 18t2 it was 595,339, which, in the year ending June, 1853, increased to 766,120 tons. In the earlier days of steam, and before the recent improve ments for the economy of fuel had been introduced, steamers could be employed with advantage only for the carrying of mails and passengers, but latterly, owing to the improve ments in marine engines, economy of fuel and space has been effected, thereby greatly reducing the working expenses, and screw steamers have not only been employed in alt the near trades for the conveyance of goods, with large p'ofit to their owners, but, owing to the advantages which they afford to shippers, they have, in these trades, almost entirely displaced sailing vessels. For - some yers the carrying trade out of Liverpool has been gradually undergoing a change. In the American trade screw steamer. have taken the place of the once celebrated IN ew York liners, but as yet only as carriers of the highest class of fine g - ooc,s and passengers. Other descriptions of goods and a large number of intermediate and steerage passengers bung still conveyed by sailing vessels. In the important branches of the American import trade, viz., those of grain, flour, and provisions, the loss annually sustained by heating during' the protr cted voyages fre quently made by sailing vessels is so great, that the interest of all engaged in these trades will be enlisted in favour of any scheme for the extension of steam shipping to include such freight, and there c m be no doubt but that the whole of the enormous trade in these articles, which in Liverpool alone amounts annually to 750,000 tons, will fail entirely into the hands of steam companies. The first object of this Company is to place on the New York station a fleet of screw steamers from Liverpool and London, of large size and great capacity, which wit! be able to carry almost, if not quite, as cheap as sailing vessels, whilst at the same time, from the regularity of their passages, they will command a full share of the steam trade, and the Directors also intend sending steamers to the American Cotton Ports when the war is brought to an end and the trade re-opened, and have also under their consideration the wants of the Brazil and other trades. In organising this Company the Directors believe that it will not enter into undue competition with the existing lines. The Cunard Line is a subsidised company, carrying the mails and passengers with fast and expensive steamers. The Inman Line has no I übsidy, but nevertheless has been most successful, and it now employs eleven vessels, having commenced its operations with two steamers, the City of Glasgow and City of Manchester. The steamships of the Inman Line are, however, of greater proportionate horse power than those projected by this Company, which will be sailed at much le=s cost, and will be constructed to consume a comparatively small amount of coal ; at the same time of such capacity that, in addition to a large cargo of merchan dise and passengers, they will be able to carry sufficient fuel for their voyages both out and home, and so avoid the ex pense and delay incurred by coaling abroad. In order that the objects of this Company may not be even partially antic pated, and that the stations may at once be occupied, provisional arrangements have been made whereby three new steamers, of the description indicated, and in all respects su.table for the service, have been secured. and con tracts have been entered into for the building- of others of about 3,500 tons each, and it is proposed to c,mmence with a fort nightly service each way, to be increased to weekly sailings as soon as the vessels can be got ready. The ports of depar. ture shall be Liverpool for the weekly line, and Londou the extent the metropolitan trade may require. The ships will be bailt under the inspection of 'Alr. John Jordan —late Chief Surveyor to the Underwriter's Registry of Iron Ships,—whose services as Inspecting. Engineer and Naval Architect the Directors have secured to th sCompany. The success which has attended the formation of well managed steam companies has been very marked. That of Cunard and Inman Company is well known. 'I he Pacific Steam Navigatien Company, whose shares,£so paid, are sell ing at £7B per share, has out ..1 profits given to its share holders new paid-up shares exceeding the amount of the ori ginal capital, and pays a regular dividend of 10 per cent. on the increased issue, carrying over at each annual me e ti ng an almost equal sum, while many private steamship owners, with similar descriptions of vessels, but much sm tiler than those this Conpa, intend to possess, have reaped like results. E. W. WILLIAMSON, Secretary. Law Society's Hall, October, 1833. The Directors have, therefore, every reason to anticipate a very great success to the undertaking. They are not en tering upon an experiment, but are providing for this Com pany a similar description of vessel, but of larger size, than those which have proved so remunerative to several well known private firms engaged in the Mediterranean and other trades, and have thus the advantage of the experience so acquired, which proves that what is needed, under efficient management, to ensure profitable results, are large ships, with moderate but sufficient horse-power and great carrying capacity. The introduction of the limited liability principle has en abled undertakings of great magnitude like the present to be carried out by joint-stook companies, which may embrace the co-operation of shippers awl of others interested, instead of by private capitalists as heretofore; the result being that the supporters of this line will become interested in its suc cess, and participate in the profits which they assist to earn. Applications for shares may be addressed in the annexed form to the Directors, and copies of the prospectus may be obtained at the Temporary Offices of the Company, or at the offices of the Brokers and Solicitors, but uo application will be considered unless a deposit of 41 per share on the number of shares applied for has been paid.

An other theatrical paper, of a different sort, criticises the new American actress, and pays a very high tribute to her powers, accompanied by a portrait of the young genius. The lovers of lobster salad may learn all about that tempting but dangerous dainty, if they are not deterred from prosecuting the study by the alarming illustration which precedes an amusing discussion of its qualities and ingredients. The interesting series of papers on P London Editors and R e _ rh story e at oi story hr yu ees porters" is continued, and this third part sketches t t c h h e e s thenotffiotctluihertde.-. out lines of the career of the Morning Herald and the early days of the Times. The "Passages from the Farai o ly wo d i ss _ , tory of the English Aristocracy" conclude t Cavendishes, to be succeeded, we suppose, dchulahcaeppil'y ends well, Talbots, and others.

THE ST. JAMES'S MAGAZINE.—It is likely that the shock so rec. many entl y felt in England will stimulat e the curiosity of readers to learn all that is known about earthquakes. Those yiho are thus , A GREAT DRAWING OF PRIZES WILL TARE PLACE AT ST. JOSEPH'S RETREAT, HIGHGATE, LONDON, N., On THURSDAY, the 26th of NOVEMBER, 1863, to aid in liquidating the Debt still remaining on the New Church and Organ ; and to assist in establishing the English Mission of St. Nicholas in Paris, now under the charge of the Passionist Fathers.

( "' CELEBRATION of the TERCENTENARY of 'J the BIRTH of SHAKSPEARE, at Stratford-upon- Avon. The Tercentenary Committee (of which Sir Robert N. C. Hamilton, Bart., K.C.8.. is Chairman) are now receiv ing SUBSCRIPTIONS, and they may also be paid to the account of the Tercentenary Committee, at the Stourbridge and Kidderminster or Warwick and Leamington Banks, St ratford-upon-Avon ; Messrs. Greenway, Smith, and Greenway, Warwick ; or their London agents, Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Co , Messrs. Hanburys and Co., or Messrs. Glyn and Co., bankers, London. The Tercentenary Committee, in submitting the subscrip tion Hit to the nation, most earnestly appeal to the admirers of Shakspeare for their aid and assistance. The Committee r(st their claims upon the ground that Stratford is not only t h e bi rthplace of Shakspeare, but the centre of attraction to all admirers of the great Poet's works, and that it was his M9me, the t9w4 be loved, end where he lived and died. • • ...-,•.-c - r- t' " - , - , 0 4 ..: .., . e .

Literature of Ancient Ireland," is an appropriate study in this work ; and also we find " Irish Educational Statistics," which gives an account of the vaelous steps that have Leen taken in that direction. FRASER.—A lengthened pap er on th a t movement in Germany t owards the attainment of a national unity, which h as recently occupied so large a sharp of the attention of statesmen and politicians, is the first in the tabl e o f contents. The author regards the proceedings l a t e l y inaugurated at Frankfort as "an important, though perhaps an indirect step, towards the realisation of the long-cherished dream of Germanic re generation." Miss Cobbe, who is already known as the writer of some very able articles on various subjects, contributes a reflective essay on " The Rights of Man and the Claims of Brutes," which we recom mend to the thoughtful and unprejudiced attention of the reader. With regard to the infliction of torture on the living subject for scientific ends, Miss Cobbe refuses to admit feeling into her consideration, but calmly and tem perately inquires into the question of right or wrong. The conclusion at which she arrives is one which, to common sense and ordinary humanity, appears indisputable. If they have only taken the lives of brutes when the interests of science really demanded them, and have always per- formed painful operations under the beneficial influence of ansesthetics, they are morally exempt from blame. If they have transgressed either or both of these conditions, they stand convicted of heinous cruelty. Respecting the terri ble accounts given of the tortures inflicted in the French colleges, Mies Cobbe very justly says that the dissection of deal horses and dogs would serve as well the purposes of anatomical instruction, while many of the operations performed on that highly sensitive animal, the horse, are not only agonising, but perfectly useless. One of these is the removal of the hoof, an operation which can serve no possible end in regard to the human body, and which is entirely profitless for the veterinary surgeon, inasmuch as no o wner would ever perform an operat i on on his horse which would render him totally useless. Such wanton infliction of torture disgraces the name of science, and its commission is as much a stain on the fame of its professors, as reckless executions or murderous Greek fi r e sully the glory of war and victory, Miss Cobbe's p a p er wou ld have been better had it been shorter, and mo re con densed in style ; but her able and energetic advocacy of the claims of humanity and justice do her honour, The readers of Eraser will rejoice to see the old familiar initials of A ,K.H.B. appended to an essay beginning with the word "Concerning.'' It has less general interest than some of his others, being chiefly on the form and qualifications of pulpits, but it contains some sound sense and pleasant read ing nevertheless. The waste of fish life that goes on under our present system of securing our prey is dwelt upon in an article headed, " How do fish live and grow ? " which treats of the subject of Pisciculture very fully. " three days at Wilna recounts the writer's experiences during a flying visit to that city, when under the stern rule of Mouravieff. "Lawrence Bloomfield in Ireland " reaches its twelfth part, and its conclusion. There are two other poetical contributions, none of the' three being above the ge of "Lat e L aure l s " goes on vigor oauveslrya,thouTghhenostnoer3Of the dramatis persona are very sure of their next movements. An essay on " Strong Minded Women," at the conclusion of the number, endeavours to divest the subject of some of its attendant absurdities. COLBURN'S UNITED SERVICE. The United Service opens with an interesting article on ',the "Naval Department of the International Exhibi tion,,, which is in fact a review of b. clever work lately published by Rear-Admiral Paris, entitled, " L'Art Naval a l'Exposition Universelle de Londres," wherein the relative merits of our iron-plated ships and those of France are discussed. The reviewer, however, does not confine his remarks to the French Ad miral's work, but enters at considerable length into ship building and coast defences. Under the title of "Recollec tions of Campaigning in Spain," we have a lively sketch of certain incidents connected with the doings of the British legion in that country. A memoir of General Wolfe is continued up to his setting out on his last campaign, "Ex periences of an English Z ouave in Algeria" gives us an English notion of African campaigning under French guidance. A paper on naval architecture contains much valuable information on the modus operandi followed at different periods in the educati , n of naval architects, and the regulations in force during the last half century. The history of the Gambia colony and the civil war is proceeded with at some length. The Wreck Register and Chart for 1862 is noticed, and a chart appended with some feeling remarks urging the public to support the National Lifeboat S..eiety liberally. In the foreign summary, the strength of the Italian army and the general statistics are treated of. The much-vexed Danish question comes in for due notice; the writer concluding that if " Federal execution is carried out, war is inevitable." We trust, however, that may yet be a voided. CORNHILL.—" The Small House at Allington" is more momentous in its chronicles in this in stalment, for Crosbie is actually married;; to Lady Alexandrina, apparently not very happily though, for they are on very peculiar terms with each other. It is evident that a life of great wretch edness is before them. Lily Dale is fast recovering, but there is something irritating in the way in which she speaks of Crosbie. It seems hardly likely that she should regard him with so favourable an impression when he has acted in such a mean and dastardly way. Mr. Plantagenet Palliser is getting into trouble as fast as he can, and trying to lose his fortune with as much pains as other men take to get one. The malevolent insinuations of society in making mountains of moleholes are well described in the chapter with the significant name of "Fie, fie." "The Story of the Mhow Court-Martial"—a paper already commented upon in our leading columns—refers at some length to that painful affair, which has already engaged s o muc h atten tion, and which will again before long attract the special notice of the public. After giving an analysis of the cir cumstances of the case, some very pertinent remarks are made relative to the non-efficacy and efficiency of courts martial. The most plausible advocat e o f t hi s system might i well be puzzled to defend t, when it has so s i gnally and so fatally broke down, impugning the honour of an army and compromising the justice and fair into play of our milit ary judges. A very wise suggestion is made, th a t a pu bli c in quiry should be instituted the working of the present system of military jurisprudence by a P ar li amentary com mittee or a royal commission, and, it i s f orc ib ly put at last, "it will indeed be discreditable to the present Government if such a cruel, disastrous, and costly complication as that which has been occasioned by the m i sconduct of the late court-martial at Mhow is permitted to pass away without some endeavour to extract permanent good out of the great wrong which has just been perpe trated in the outraged name of milit ary j ustice, " Margaret Penzil's History " is the beginning of a new story that has something u ncommon about it. There is a quaint simplicity of style about the narration that is attractive, and the adventures are quite un worldlike in their way. "Domesday B oo k" i s an enter taining paper that furnishes us with an account of some of the old customs of our forefathers, which is a subject at all times noticeable and amusing to study. "Unctuous Memo ries" is a lively sketch of some banquets that took place at divers times and in many lands, and which, from associa tion and agreeableness, left a pleasant memory behind. " Cousin Phillis" begins a new tale, that is so far very in teresting, and contains some well-defined characters. It has also the novelty of a heroine in a pinafore. " A Scotch man in Holland" is a solid readable article, that presents the reader with a graphic account of the striking things that attract the Scots in their double existence on the Con tinent, which is described as partly English and partly special nationality. "Strange to Say on Club Paper" is a rather remarkable dissertation on a curious incident con cerning the late Lord Clyde's will. No. 22,261. TROPICAL POEMS.

BLACKWOOD.—" The Perpetual Curate" is con tinned, and affairs get more and more complicated both at the Squire's and at Carlingford. There is mystery on all sides, and its inevitable attendants, misery and jealousy. Even the Wentworths do not escape, and the general aspect of things is melancholy in the extreme. " Old Maps and New" is a well written paper, that brings before us some of the strik ing and startling changes which have lately taken place. It is very truly observed that war is the great innovator, altering the boundaries of States, and confusing men's knowledge in what they before deemed plain and compre hensible. After an interesting summary of the various re volutions that have taken place with regard to our know- ledge of the earth and the art of map-making, it is men tioned that while we aro ready to laugh at the curious geographical blunders of our predecessors, our successors may fiad plenty to satirise in our proceedings in a geogra phical sense. There is a good deal of information to be ex tracted from this scientific sketch of geography, which Burke called "an earthly subject but a heavenly sketch," " Tony Butler" mokes great progress in this instalment. He proceeds to Downing-street, and there finds his castles in the air vanish considerably when the theories he brings from provincial solitude are met by the arguments of offi cial practice. Maitland's manoeuvres occupy a good portion of tills number, but there is something more re freshing in the abruptness of Tony's inexperience than in the skilled say.7ir faire of that wily adventurer. "Ducal Darmstadt" is one of the foreign communications often met with in this serial. It presents a lively sketch of the place referred to, and mentions that when Germany has succeeded in becoming centralised, "such merry and wise little capitals as Darmstadt will become impossible." " The Fall of King Otho" alludes to a subject well ventilated in all political quarters, but in which some may yet take an interest, and be glad to peruse the details at their leisure. A very smart article is that of "Hawthorne on England," and the absurd pretentiousness and consummate impudence of the American writer is aptly summed up and properly animadverted upon. No wonder some doubt is felt as to which country is spoken of when it is said that "these people think so loftily of themselves, and so contemptuously of everybody else, that it requires more generosity than I possess to keep in good humour with them," Further on, we are informed that " the English character is by no means a very lofty one." Like most sweeping denuncia tions of a people or a system, the clever American writer seems to forget that there is any need for him to put a restraint upon his own language or confine his expressions within the limits of courtesy or good breeding. Thus, in speaking of the dinners with Lord Mayors in London and at Liverpool, he met with " a hearty and homely set of people, with a remarkable roughness of aspect and beha viour." Surely this is a strange way of writing, and, in deed, the whole style of the criticism on England is totally devoid of all consideration whatever. When a man goes so far as to call a great people " the earthliest creatures that the earth ever saw," it appears evident that there lurks some other feeling in the background than is acknow ledged in the words that meet our eyes. At all events, this seems a strange time for such criticism to assail us, although, as the quoque style of argument is a very poor sort of defence, one is tempted to exclaim, when perusing these diatribes, "look at home, across the Atlantic, before pulling us to pieces." " May Song," by Pisistratus Cris ton, is a graceful little sketch th a t i s very suitable to the subject. The last article, " Our Rancorous Cousins," con tains some very proper strictures on the extraordinary con duct pursued by our Government, and very truly says that we should have no hesitation in refusing to change the laws of England on this question, oven if we pay the price of parting "with our Foreign Secretary." DUBLIN.—" Wylder's Hand" is pr ocee d e d w ith at considerable length, and Stanley Lake is the conspicuous figure in this instalment. He is mar ried to Miss Brandon at last, and, of course, thus provokes the wrath of Mark Wylder. In the next portion of the story doubtless some very stormy scenes will ensue. Stanley is engaged in some very dark and dangerous affair, which will evidently bring him into trouble, as old Tamar has predicted. That wierd-like woman adds greatly to the mysterious nature of the narra tive. There is no one in it at all prepossessing, but there isa great deal of power evidenced in the c onstruction. "Bella Donna ; or, The Cross before the Name," is also very ex citing in this division. The cunning 4 . Jenny,' works out her cruel purpose, and so wretched does poor Mr. Franklyn become that he at last commits suicide. Thus the wretched mancouvrer has triumphed, and brought about the ruin of a family in her ruthless course. The account is next given of those ingenious little hints and dexterous inuendoes that do more to undermine the peace of households, than any open demonstrations of violence. " Starlight and Gas light" is a pretty light sketch, that is written in a glowing style, and, without containing much in it, presents an amusing description of two very different phases of exis tence. "Hibernian Country Pastimes and Festivals" is continued, and affords us an insight into such entertain ments that is very readable. There is the first part of the career of " Robert Wilke, the actor," which, of course, is well worthy of perusal. It is said that great difficulty has been experienced in coming to a correct estimate of the career of one concerning whom such divers opinions are entertained. " A Digressive Essay on Wills," is a very interesting paper, and furnishes us with some remarkable instances of curious testamentary documents. Nothingmore exemplifies the peculiar passions and prejudices of men than this expression of their feelings in their last moments. In this paper, too, we can observe some very strange forms and customs of a byegone age. " Slides of Fancy's Lantern," is a very curious little sketch, that goes back to ancient days for its subjects. " Fragments of Scandinavian Legend," is an article which repays perusal. it is truly said that there is always something fresh in the records of these countries, and that any one 'who wishes to develops r the imagination should proceed thither. Various, Life and papers complete the ccutents of this serials (e€ Evils PAI- 3 EI - 1 / 1 /.'34 Fairyland in the Crystal Palace, dydelihani.4.-,:%- * 5 4e . . r (From the .London Review.) 414/ 1 4., Sir Joseph Paxton has said :—" If wed 4 -u s will be an encha n ti ng pl ace a t n i g ht.

I only wish you would let me hav e th e b u i l di ng t o g i ve a bad or two in itfor the charities of London; you would see how I would light it up." We have had a few balls of late years on a large scale for charitable purpoees, but they have been dwarfed in their proportions from the want of a Salle (le danse sufficiently magnificent.

But imagine a ball under similar aus pices in the Crystal Palace, with gas jets running along the columns, g alleries, and vaulted roof, with coloured lamps in the vistas and concealed among the foliage I Remember the accommodation which the galleries woul I offer to person s willing to pay for the inclinationspectacle, bs y to join the brilliant w throng p towards retensi otnh or r h ar i t •on the floor! The only ball-mea l of adequate size for this vast metropolis is the Guildhall, an d that, after having served the turn of the P o l es and the Warehousemen and Clerks' Schools, is now crowded to inconvenience by the Licensed Victuallers. Why should they not hold their charitable balls for 1804 in the Crystal Palace? What is to hinder the Ger mans from giving their Hospital Ball at Sydenham, or the French their Sociine de la Bienfaisance Ball ? Who would not pay something tom the Caledonian Ball from a seat in the Gallery ? If the Brigade of Guards had but brought their lavish outlay to the decoration and illumination of the Crystal Palace, what an entertainment, worthy of the Arabian Nights, would they not have oiLred to the Prince and Princess! It would be the duty of the directors to employ the best artists, and to illuminate the Palace with the utmost taste and skill. The coloured lamps, transparencies, and devices would be a portion of the " property" of the Palace. There would be, we apprehend, a graduated scale of illumination, ac cording to the number of visitors and the charge for tickets. On the occasion of a Royal visit, " all the resources of the establishment" must be brought out. Each charitable society would require some special devices, in the nature of " local colouring,'' to keep its c l a i ms b efore its patrons. A hundred laudable charities might be saved from shipwreck, and enter upon a career of new usefulness, by means of a benevolent ball at the Crystal Palace. Why should not each of the great metropolitan trades have an annual charitable ball ? why not the struggling arid unendowed hospitals ? The sick, the houseless, the naked, the aged—the poor seam stress, the superannuated governess, the broken down tradesman, the widows and orphans who have known better days—might have common cause for rejoicing with the shareholders if Sir Joseph Pax ton's suggestion were carried into effect. It will be observed that we do not recommend the opening of the Palace as an indiscriminate salle de dame. The directors would let the building to so. cietics, and the committees of benevolent institutions would for their own protection, take the pains as at present to exclude improper characters by means of the system of vouchers. The directors can take effectual means to maintain good order and decorum on these occasions. Having the " plant" and " pro perties" in their possession, the directors on some high-days and holidays—at Christmas, Easter, and Whitsuntide—on Queen's birthdays, and other oc casions of loyal rejoicing—might throw the build ing open for night illuminations and public prome nade. There would be the usual shilling day ad mission, and a farther :Milling or half-crown for the night fête. Oa public illuminations tradesmen would willingly erect their transparencies, festoon e, and devices—their stars, crowns, and V.R.'e . —at their own expense, so that they might advertise their names as in the Strand or Cornhill. We believe we shall be guilty of no breach of confidence if we say that proposals for night fetes have been at various times brought before the dime.. tors. Timid and unenterprising men always find a lion in their path when any project savouring of boldness and novelty comes before them. Their objections were, we believe, two-fold—the expense, and the difficulty of conveying large crowds from the building at night. As to the expense, the money could be easily raised among the shareholders if Sir Joseph Paxton were allowed to illuminate the build ing. With respect to the second objection, we sub mit that the time has come for considering it afresh, There used to be but one railway to London. There are now three, and there will soon be half a dozen. Modern railway managers are accustomed to the transport of large masses, Even at night. On gala days the Crystal Palace trains are even now running up to midnight. On the Derby Day the Croydon and Epsom trains bring thousands to town after dark. At every Volunteer review large masses are brought away at night. If it were the fashion to hold aristocratic balls at the Crystal Palace, half the company would travel in their own carriages . The Palace, moreover, can offer such unequalled facilities in the way of cloak-rooms, e t coiffeurs, and attendants, that ladies r might r o leaveo ms, much of their toilet to be made in the building, and would care little whether they returned in a private carriage or by the rail. It will be seen that on dancing a s an amusement. d L no ord P N ur e i a ta v n es ic a v t ie t w he s Social Congress at Edinburgh the other day offered amusement—entertainment without any knowledge at all.

A dean of the An' glican Church—a man of the highest learning and science, not long since gone to his rest—had the manliness to Write a passage which the "unto guid" cannot read without advantage, and which will not be ont of place in this article :—" There is a great deal to be said in favour of dancing.

Sir Joseph Paxton promises to wav e the wand of a magician, to give us a new se• - stion, and to produce an illusion worth a million ghost tricks. "I wish," said Sir Joseph, "You would let me have the building to give a ball or two in it for the charities of London." Why should not Sir Joseph have his wish ? That the Crystal Palace will be lit up with magical splendour one day we have not a shadoW of doubt. But why is of fairy-like mag ni fi cence to b e denied to the for the next Eng lishmen o f 1864, an d to b e reserved t his scene generation of shareholders ? STAMPED ....td. disposed may turn to a paper by Mr. Scofrerre, which relates some of the conjectures and theories O R the subject. " Ghostdoni" is the title of a con.tiibuticn which, like Sir Walter Scoti,'s " Erl King," should be read alone at night, by a candle with a very long snuff I The incidents, whose accuracy the writer vouches for, are, how ever, very remarkable, and, as lie gives names and dates/ his tales are entitled to reqect. "My Political Patient" is the title of the narrative of an ingenious imposition at tempted by an ucfortunate Pole, who endeavoured to cross the Russian frontier as an aged invalid Russian, escorted by an English doctor I The scheme was more ingenious than successful. Young parents will be delighted with a sketch called " Poems about Babies," which cites some of the many beautiful lines written on infancy by our earlier poets. The various fluctuations in man's chronicling of his hours is commented on in a brief paper entitled " Time's Changes," which traces the variations from the Eastern and Egyptian nations downwards. Gastronomists will turn with special attention to a treatise on " The Science of Good Cheer," which tells us, among other interesting infor mation, that Cadmus, who introduced. letters into Greece, was once cook to the King of Sidon. Those who like con fused, involved, extravagant, and unreal storie, may pass, on the contrary, to the first and last items in the table of contents, being the further instalments of the histories of Aubrey Marston, and Madeleine Graham. THE VICTORIA MAGAZINE.—A prominent fea ture in the current number of this magazine is the paper so recently read by Miss Faithful at the Social Science Meeting on "The Unfit Employment in which Womea are engaged." When we find these employments include, as they do, hard and degrading labour, such as filling coal trucks, several depart ments of brickmaking, carrying loads of sand, dressing ores, and the lowest and dirtiest tasks in many of the northern manufactories—in the face of evidence like this, those who have hitherto deprecated the exertions being made to open up fresh sources of employment to women may well be silent. If the choice lay between home life and watchmaking, book-keeping, lithographing, and the other occupations now being tried, there might be reason in the objections brought forward, but when the area for female labour is so scanty, and the need so urgent and pressing, it is surely time some fresh experiments were made. Miss Faithfull justly enough classes those who "want employment " the idlers of the upper and middle classes. She says, with truth, that fifty years ago women of all ranks had plenty to do in-doors. "All sorts of things were done in the house which even the most old-fashioned people have left off doing now. The baking and brewing, the spin ning and weaving, the knitting and sewing, are taken out of the hands of women. Machinery has effected a complete change in our internal domestic economy, and if the girls of this generation are to walk in the steps of their mothers and grandmothers, it must be by wise modifications of our present habits." "Lindisfarn Chase," by Thomas Adolphus Trollope, proceeds with interest, and Kate Lindisfarn becomes innocently engaged in more than one secret. Matthew Arnold contributes an able and well written essay on "The character of the Emperor Mat cus Aurelius." Pondering over the enlight ened wisdom, the exalted virtues, and the pure morality of this remarkable man, Mr. Arnold natu rally exclaims, "What an affinity for Christianity had this persecutor of the Christians." " Grapes and Goblets" is the second part of a pleasant enough paper, narrating some wayside experiences of rambling on the Continent. A care ful summary is given of the proceedings at the late Edin burgh meeting, and the nature and spirit of the undertak ing are thus happily defined: — "The work of this association is imperfectly performed. Let that be granted, once for all. We frankly admit that the imperfections which attach to all the performances of imperfect beings are to be found here also. But at the same time, we maintain that the essential business of the asso ciation—namely, first, thoroughly and impartially to exa•• mine new ideas, and then to aid in their dissemination—is genuine work, and especially important at the present stage of the world's history, when progress depends more than ever before on the diffusion of sound opinions throughout the community." THE ECLECTIC.—We find in The Eclectic an essay on one of the brightest ornaments of the Eng lish Church—Jeremy Taylor. He has been styled the English Chrysostom ; and although his style seems cumbrous and overloaded to the simpler taste of the present day, yet the wit, learning, and eloquence of some of his writings are amply sufficient to merit the name. Miss Yonge's very able and interesting work on Christian Names receives a kindly notice, and the entertaining extracts given from it will induce the reader to refer to the original volumes. The most attractive among the remaining papers, as being less influenced by the lc:H.:jolts views of the journal, is an essay entitled, " History in Chancery," which passes under review some of Macaulay's brilliant but experts statements THE SIXPENNY MAGAZINE.—Gustave Aimard's story of " The Smuggler Chief " is proceeding with interest and animation. He is well known as one of the cleverest and most picturesque painters of Indian life now living, and the lovers of wild adventure will find no lack of it in the present tale. There are other stories and sketches, among them one entitled "Who was to Blame," of which we have:only the first part; and a brief but melancholy tale, "The Polish Mother," carries us to that unhappy country which is now exciting so much of our sympathy. We have a paper on " Holberg, the Danish Moliere," and a further instalment of the series on " Bible Women," which this month treats of Deborah, the " mother in Israel." "Mexico and the Mexicans" are discussed at length, and we must not omit to include, among the fictions, the continuation of " Sackville Chase." Either Mr. Pepper or the approach of the dark nights is bringing ghosts into fashion, for this is the second magazine in which we find them. There is plenty of entertainment provided for the reader, if it be not of a very high or sterling quality. STARVATION OF A FAMILY. Another shocking case of death from starvation has taken place in the East-end. It appears that a respectable family, carrying on a school at 45, De Beauvoir- squa.re,West Hackney, have been plunged into a state of the greatest destitution through the failure of the school, and that recently an execution tyros put into the house, when all the furniture and effects were carried away. On Saturday week one of the children, Alacanlay Josiah Brewer, aged 12 years, was found by Dr. Kitchen lying without covering in a room without furniture and without fire, and dying from, apparently, the want of food and comfort. Death soon after put an end to his sufferings. Mr. H. R. IValthew, deputy coroner, held an inquest upon the body on Friday night, at the Waggon and Horses Tavern, De Beauvoir square, and so great was the sensation which the sufferings of the family had made in the neighbour hood that not only was the court crowded, but several hundred persons gathered in the street out side. Airs. al. Brewer, 45, De B eauvo i r - square, deposed that deceased was her child. About three wee k s a go he was taken with a cold. Od Saturday wee k she noticed a change come over him, and she was about to send , for a doctor when he woe taken with a fi t a nd died soon after. Witn ess had had a family of 12 children, five of whom were living with her. The eldest of the latter was 18 ye ars old, and had assisted in teachi ng in the scho o l. They had taken the school last December, but it had failed. A month ago an executi on was ut in and everything removed. Dr. Kitchen said he was called in when deceased was dying. Death re su lt e d f rom water being effused on the lungs, from the e ff ec t s o f want of food and of exp osure. Th child'selying as a he found him, in a roomi without a fire, and when ge f rom a reduced to the last a t privation, was suffi cient to cause death. The family were miserably poor, and were on that account unable to call in a medical man in time Beauvoir-square, to save deceased's lif e . S ara h Hubbard, 41, D family had b een f said that the and wa n t. Air. or some time past in great trouble Josiah Brewer said that he was a sc hoolmaster. He and took the house last Christmas, had about 12 scholars.w shillines aweek—not He had only a few more than 10s. to keep five children with. When the execution was put in the school was upset. He din d eceas e d all he could for None of the family had bedding or clothing. Mr. ' Wlll' lams, coroner's officer, said that he found the fandy in the house without as much as a chair or stool to sit upon. Deceased lay on the floor dead, with the bones almost coming through the skin. The Coroner said that a more dreadful case of suf fering he had never seen. The parents ought to have applied for relief to the proper quarter, instead of attempting to conceal their deplorable condition. If a doctor had been called in before, deceased might not have been sacrificed. Tne jury returned a. ver dict of "Death from effusion on the lungs, caused by want of food," adding " that the parents show e d neglect in not c alling in medical aid for the decea se d before his death." The coroner, the jury, andthe Rev. S. Finch, the incumbent of the district, raised a subscription, which amounted to £4 135., for the unfortunate family. Doors open at 7—commence at half-past 7.
