The present mail' 3 , however, as we have intimated, explain all tl ,at needed explanation in the last. The tidings oey bring to us, account for that notable movem' vat of LEE'S, by the results they relate. Gen. Bur ZISIDE has been defeated—his antagonist, General BRAGG, having been enabled to accomplish that achi .evement of his defeat, by means of certain timely reinforce ments. Remembering how far apart th' a confront ing Northerns and Southerns under BU . INSIDE and BRAGG are from the confronting main A rmies of the Federals under MEADE and the Confe d crates under LEE, it will be appreciated all the -more readily, even by the unprofessional observer s c,f these events, how masterly again have been the manceavres organised by the Confederate Commander-in- Chief. The plans of LEE in regard to i n regard to BURNSIDE, are M EADE , and still to the last perfectly h armonious. By reason of those plans being adventured upon and successf ull y carried out, bis main arm y (di minished as we know, and thus diminished, more over, for very g ood reasons indeed)—LEE'Smai army falls back before the collective advance of the Federals under MEADE : an advance to which the latter have been tempted by the above-mentioned diminution of the Confederate forces, their diminu tion, that is, by the sum of those very troops de spatched from them in hot haste away into Ten nessee. The Confederates, in fact, as the result of this astute manoeuvring of LEE'S, have fallen back south of the Rapp a h annoc k , south of the Rapidan They have s i mp l y ! withdrawn thus to their old position south of the Rapidan—the Federals in following them up so far, gaining, in effect, nothing whatever from their antagonist, beyond capturing about half of a small body of men who had made a foolhardy resistance to three carp of MEADE'S army on the north side of the Rappahannock. While these things were occurring as to the relative positions occupied by the main armies of the Federals and Confederates, the latter were signally worsting the Federals under General 13URNSIDE in Tennessee There, at that point, the key to the mystery is discernable. We now learn, upon sufficiently reliable authority, seeing that it is General GRANT who reports the fact to the Federal Government at Washington, that two of General BURNSIDE'S advanced positions had been attacked by the Confederates, and that the forces occupying them had been captured. Rumours of the ugliest character were reported to be flying about when those tidings left the American shores, the darkest, the gloomiest rumours as to General BURNSIDE having been subjected to a really disas • trous discomfiture. Rumours they appear to be, moreover, sufficiently well founded, if only for inas much as they seem to be borne out by the an nouncement of General BURNSIDE'S compulsory resignation. Elsewhere, among our telegrams of this afternoon, will be found a remarkably suc cinct and detailed narrative, from the hand of General LEE himself, recounting, in the form of an official report to the War Department atßictimond, the circumstances leading to, and attending upon, the late strategic movements that have taken place between the Rapidan and the Rappahannock. To this remarkable despatch we would here direct very particular attention. It directs a keen and vivid beam of light through a dense and hitherto, in parts, all but impenetrable haze of confusion. The condition of the labouring classes during the winter season is generally a matter of some anxiety and importance, especially when, as at present, we have indications of somewhat severe weather. We have not begun the winter very satisfactorily in the metropolis, for we hear every day of the large numb .rs who apply at the unions for relief, as well as for nightly admissio❑ to the casual wards. To such a height has this evil in creased that a regular discussion has been opened on the subject, and the questions of district asylums, temporary relief and shelter, and the obstacles which exist in the way of any better administra tion of the Poor Laws, or any improvement in their construction, have become matters of daily talk and argument. We have received, too, several painful and startling warnings of late to remind us that our social arrangements are by no means infallible, since men, women, and children can die n our midst of absolute want and starvation. While the question of how to dispose of these nightly wayfarers is remaining under consideration there is another point which presses on public attention, and that is the vast numbers failure of whose employ ment drives them to join the band of paupers. We shall probably be none of us much surprised to learn that several hundreds of needlewomen are already reckoned among them. The wearying nature of their employment, the long stretch of in cessant labour which it requires to earn the barest living, and the miserable sums earned in proportion to the labour, have all been matters of cona mon note since HOOD sang his stirring " Song of the Shirt." Since then needlewomen's societies and institutions have been founded, their cause has been advocated by philanthropists, and helped forward by much kindly charitable labear. One of the most considerable of these establish ments is located in Hinde-street, Manchester-square, where everything is conducted in the most business like manner, and where the managers undertake to supply good work on fair terms. This institution has been in existence for several years, and was at one time very well supported. Unfortunately, such is no longer the case, and a letter addressed by the manageress, Miss BARLEE, to our principal morning contemporary, reveals a state of distress among the female workers of London which is startling at this early period of the cold season. Miss BARLEE states that for several years the society with which she is connected has kept several hundred women constantly employed, but that this season, owing to lhe failure of the supply of work, at least 400 have heea deprived of employment. This is bad enough, since most of these women are entirely dependent Q 4 their for us at,h needle support, and affirm that they mist miss tgekittot ?t: 3 Union if that fails to keep them. But revelations go still further. She tells for th work grin s tale applied to the large City warehouses l hs wers which she received showed the distre ss to many hand twice as Partial b u t genera l. We have we can find employment for." " Tho usands o 3 t as Machinery will work for a f e w womaner has superseded hand pweorircko.,a, doay."no poor som e holland co a ts to make, e got, as a g reat boon, each of which took six lepers' close work, and for ea eh th e payment was question of ) 1 d The introduction of the se Win . g machine has hurried on the consideration of the ment for women. TL, he needl e has failing them altogether. Hun suitable employ always been e laborious, and poor, uncertain re source, source but it is now dreds who helped out a scanty income by it s means are now deprived of the acceptable addition to their wants ; thousands whose sole means of supp ort it was are now hovering between pau perism and vice. What is to be done with them and for them ? Can not our active social reformers devise some relief for need so pressing, extremity so undeserved ? The great origin of the evil undoubtedly is that mistaken custom or habit of thinking which, until the last few years, forbade a woman to earn her living other than by teaching, clom:stic service, or needlework. One consesuence is the crowds of ill paid and half-educated governesses, who struggle for situations, each trying to outdo her fellows in the extent of her professions and the mode ration of her charges. Another result is to be Peen in the letter before us. Had some of these hundreds of women been trained in ea rly life to bookkeeping, watchmaking, or other trades where delicacy of finger, care, and skill are the chief requisites, how much misery might have been saved ! But all these occupations require to be learned carefully; not caught up in a hurry when the pupil must work or starve. One branch of employment, indeed, there is which would em ploy large numbers of respectable women in work well adapted to their strength and tastes, and open to admit those whose youth missed the training needed for so many occupations. We allude to shop serving, which, in our " nation of shopkeepers," con ' stitutes no unimportant item of the national indus try. Why custom, whim, or prejudice should be allowed to stand between women starving for want of work, and an employment for which they are especially fitted, is a question hard to answer in these days of practical sense and earnest endeavour. It would appear to an impartial observer, that in a large proportion of the shops of this busy metro polis women are much better suited to the task of serving customers than men, and yet in how few do we see them ? If our large linendrapers were to inaugurate the change, how great a blessing would they confer on hundreds of desponding females. Let those who by act, word, or influence can promote the cause, not hesitate in doing so, since the wages inadequate for an active and intelligent man would support a woman in decency and com fort. Meanwhile other plans must be tried, and other schemes set on foot, that we may hear no longer of " thousands" of either men or women being in our midst, willing to work, but unable to obtain even such wretched employment as will bring them in a farthing and a half an hour. The new Chamber of Deputies has inaugurated its career in a worthy manner, Indeed, there has been evinced a spirit and decision that must eventu ally exercise a beneficial influence on public affairs, and in the peculiarly trying position of politics at present it must be a great relief to those anxious about the future to note this significant starting that has been effected. The Ministers have adopted a wise course, whether merely to carry out their game and gain a particular point, or whether be cause they are really impressed with the importance of events, and seek to propitiate those of whom they are afraid —at all events, the latest intelligence from Prussia affords, in its way, more satisfactory information than has been sent for some time lately. The Ministry have published a Royal decree, which is in conformity with the article 63 of the Consti tution. " This decree withdrawsithe order of the Ist of June, referring to the prohibition of news papers and periodicals." This is certainly a step in the right direction, and too much credit cannot be given to those earnest and energetic members who have fought the good fight, and so soon gained their end. The decision of the Ministers, as expressed in this decree, has soon followed on the intelligence conveyed of the discussion on the sub ject in the Chamber. Whatever may.be the duration of this Chamber, or whatever success may attend their efforts, and good results crown their deli berations, it is a most satisfactory solution of one great difficulty, and a notable conclu sion to a disturbing discussion, to notice this ad justment of the ordinance question. The rescind. ing of such an order is the best thing that could possibly befall the nation. We may now indulge in some hopes that may not prove groundless, and entertain some idea of an improvement taking place in the prospects of Prussia; at all events the ardent patriot, the earnest wellwisher, and the philosophic observer of events in the country may rest satisfied that there will be some outlet for public grievances, some expression for wounded feelings, and some record of national wrongs. Thu notion of suppress ing all free mention of important events, all unre stricted comment on the mutation of measures, and all indignant or disappointed remarks on great na tional changes, is in reality sapping the foundation of the power and prosperity of the country. A more short-sighted proposal never emanated from an infa tuated Cabinet, or was sanctioned by a mistaken Monarch. It is well that at the eleventh hour a patriotic Parliament has come to the rescue, and in defiance of difficulties, and regardless of opposi tion, declared their honest conviction, and professed their honest purpose. It is to be trusted that this arrangement may be a final one, and that the day may never come when the country of Prussia suffers such decadence and degradation, and her sons allow themselves to be so stultified. In a great measure a nation that has once gained any sort of pre-emi uence has its fate in its own hand, for if it use its opportunities and guard its privileges, it will be next to impossible for any King, however tyranni cal, or any Ministry, however unworthy, to circum scribe to a great degree the limits of public privileges, or to invade the stronghold of popular rights, It was once remarked by Mr. DISRAELI, in alluding to social advantages, that when nations fall, it is be cause a degenerate race intervened between the class that created and the class that is doomed." This is very true, and therefore the anxiety of all lovers of freedom and discerners of events.. The issue that waits on the actions of the Prussian representatives is a mighty one, and far off generations may have to bless or curse the day which sent them forth to the trial ground to fight the battles of their country's rights, and vindi cate her claims before the nations of the world. In the Upper House it is something to notice that a protest was made against the proposal of the para graph " which expressed gratitude to the Govern. ment for the measures adopted against the spread of the insurrection in Poland." Unfortunately, the earnest appeals of Count BRINSKI did not produce any decided alteration in the terms of the address, but at all events they must have produced some beneficial effect upon the Assembly, and the dis cussion called forth the virtuous indignation of Herr VON BISMARK, who expressed himself in no measured terms concerning the suggestions of the Count. It would be ludicrous if the subject were not so serious, and if the consequences were not so lamentable, to mark the want of sequence in the arguments of the Minister, and the absurdity of some of his opinions. When he goes on to state, however, that "Goverament has a political, social, and moral interest in the movement of Russian Poland not bsiug victorious," it is sad to reflect that these cruel words, and heartless sentiments, ate uttered by one in so important and influential a position, and charged with such solemn responsi bilities, As is usual, the case with these one-sided arguers, and these wiseacres of politics, who speak with what has been aptly described as "spleneti c authoritativeness, and factious sophistication," we find . plenty o f a b use o f opponents an d t h e or di nary s " r e of unf oun d e d s t atemen t s an d i nexcusa bl e inuendo es . Thus Herr BISMARK actually announces to us t h e fact, that a movement must not be allowed t o b e successful "which soils itself with unheard-of crimes , and w hi c h d e li g ht s i n th e apotheosis o f ass assination." It would be difficult to discover whether this sentence ;s most remarkabl e for its insolence, die tinguished for its injustice, or characterised by its falsity." Well might the poet have exclaimed in his matchless delineation of the horrors of the Polish Invasion,— " Oh I sacs ed Truth, thy triumphs ceased awhile, And Hope, thy sister, ceased with thee to smile, lVhen leagued Oppression poured to northern wars, Her whiskered pandoors, and her fierce hussars." There is nothing which more strongly marks the style of these apologists or defenders of tyrannical measures than the extraordinary departure from veracity which marks their statements, Their cause is so bad that they are obliged to start by denying its attributes, and falsifying its work ings. So we learn from the Emperor of all the RussiAs himself that his policy is a merciful one, and all his actions inspired by the rn ,, st benig nant motives, and also Herr 13ismARK kindly in forms us that the Poles arc to blame fur their reckless unconscionabl e conduct. What m ust they do to horrify men who throw infants in their cradles out of window, and subject females to the most cruel sufferings. All these vituperations are idle in the extreme, because those who judge both sides will not be biassed by them. The CZAR and his myrmidons may exhaust themselves in eloquence through the length and breadth of his dominions, which exceed in extent the limits owned by any other power, but they will never bring Christian or heathen lands to believe that the men who are trampling the soil of Poland beneath the iron heel of conquest, and denying the slightest quarter to her aged, her sick, and her infirm, are walking in the ways of pleasantness, nor can the people crushed by such cruelty and tortured by such inflictions be said to tread the paths of peace. Nothing is more sig nificant than the vehement defence of the Russian policy, which has been constantly made by Herr BIsMARR, and therefore it especially behoves the Chamber of Deputies to take heed to their efforts, that the storm may not find them unprepared for its assaults, or taken by surprise at its sudden advent. Steady courage, firm endurance, and a resolute spirit can alone avail to nerve them for the day of trial, and to give them a happy issue and a successful conclusion out of the fitful struggle.

It more than confirms the impression. It explains, in regard to the latest movements of the confronting main armies of the North and of the South, everything that in any way can be said to have needed explanation. The key to the whole mystery, if mystery there was, in this withdrawal from LEE'S army of no less than 30,000 of his troops—thereby causing the main army of the South to be temporarily outnumbered by their confronting antagonists, the Northern main army under MEADE—may be found in theso new tid ings from America, tidings just brought to us by the Canada, may be there recognised in fact at glance by those who read running.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER, 23, 1863. Rumoured Resignation of Lord Russell, We (Spectator) have received a statement on what should be first-rate authority, that Earl Rus• sell retires from the Cabinet, and is succeeded by Lord Clarendon. W e record the report with deep regret, for though we cannot support or admire Earl Russell's recent policy in Poland he is the truest representative the noblest of English fac tions ever had. (From the Morning Herald.) A rumour has been current for the last two or three days to the effect that EArl Russell has re signed the seals of the Foreign Office, and that Lord Clarendon is to succeed him. We cannot pre tend to be in the secrets of the Cabinet, nor can we trace the rumour to any reliable source. We must be content, therefore, to publish the report, leaving it to time to show what it is worth. There is certainly some prima facie evidence to justify it. Lord Clarendon has within the last fort ❑ight had interviews with the Queen, with Lord Palmerston, and Rid Russell. It is currently re• ported that the policy of the latter nobleman bas given rise to grave discussions in the Cabinet, which are not likely to be terminated except by his retirement, and his opponents point to certain damaging articles published in journals notoriously influenced by the Premier, as evidencing some thing like a break-up of the alliance between the two Whig leaders. illereover, if Earl Ilussell fancies the ilinistertal craft in danger, we know of old that he is the first man to desert. On the other hand, it is not unreasonable to conclude that Lord Clarendon's interviews may have had reference solely to the Congress and to various questions of foreign policy now pressing for solution. His lordship has for some months past been exceedingly busy on the Conti nent, and may ba supposed to be well " posted up" on most of the subjects that are likely to b 6 brought under discussion at the Congress. It is, perhaps, natural that he should be anxious to fight over again his battles of 1856, and favour civilisation with another " Declaration of Paris" about the rights of belligerents; and it is quite possible that Lord Russell has only been seeking an associate when he was supposed to be looking for a successor. Perhaps some of our Liberal contem poraries will set the doubts of the public at rest by informing us whether we shall retain the services of the hero of Blairgowrie, Birkenhead, and Kago sima. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. [REUTER'S TELEGRAM.] THE SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN QUESTION. GLUCKSTADT, Nov. 23. The officials of the Superior Court of Appeal for the whole of Holstein in this city have unanimously resolved to refuse to take the oaths of allegiance to the new King. JAPAN, LIVERPOOL, Nov. 23. According to advices from Hakodadi, dated 6th October, received via San Francisco, the authorities had ordered all foreigners to leave Nagasaki, but the foreigners refused, and the Japanese Governor resigned. The Chief Minister and three other Ministers of the Cabinet had been dismissed because they wero in favour of peace with the Christian nations. The Mikado had issued an order that no Daimio should purchase any foreign vessel. The Prince of Nagasaki had issued orders that the Japanese pilots, who conducted the American vessel . of war Wyoming to Sunoniski, should be killed. One of these pilots was murdered soon afterwards.

Than many of the poems in this ingenious col lection, Professor Longfellow has written nothing more beautiful. " King Robert of Sicily" would of itself make the amende for a hundred abortive " Golden Legends," and for a whole multitude of jingling " Hiawathas." There is the ring of the true metal in these melodious verses. As we listen to the voice that now sings to us, we are delightedly conscious of its being that of no other than the author of " Evangeline." The collection here linked together into a harmonious whole by a suc cession of graceful " interludes" we have advisedly designated ingenious. For, besides being far more than simply ingenious, it is, in the midst of a crowd of other, and many of them much loftier, merits, conspicuous in a remarkable degree for its inge nuity. The design of it is accurately enough ex plained upon the title-page. The time of the poem is an autumn evening. A Wayside Inn "at Sud bury town"—" a kind of old Hobgoblin Hall"—is the scene of the narrative, or rather is the spot in which the several narratives are related. It is one of those picturesque specimens of an " ancient hostelry" of which The Maypole at Chigwell, in Charles Dickens's tale of the Gordon Riots—that enthralling, inimitable story of Barnaby Rudge—is the very architype or delightful est of all possible examplart. The trailing woodbines festooned from the overhanging eaves, the very gleaming of the ruddy firelight through the crimson curtains at the lattice, these and various other minute par ticulars in regard to the Wayside Inn of Longfellow recall vividly to our recollection the dear old May pole Tavern of Epping Forest, as pourtrayed by the wonderfully realistic pencil of Dickens. Here, in the American auberge, Professor Longfellow de scribes a cluster of strangely contrasting wayfarers, at the outset of his little transatlantic Decameron. And as motley a groupe they make, as even the im mortal train of Pilgrims pourtrayed by old Geoffrey Chaucer, as setting out, several centuries back, on the road from the Tabard, in Southwark, to the shrine of the holy martyr St. Thomas a Becket, in the Cathedral at Canterbury. The landlord of the Wayside Inn, dubbed by reason of his gentle birth, and in spite of his fallen fortunes, " The Squire"— in this, something like our old friend " Barring ton" in Charles Lever's charming little fic tion so entitled—leads off the list of these assembled interlocutors. Among his guests or customers are—a young Sicilian, a Poet, a Theologian of Cambridge, a Musician who delights them all with his improvisations on his beloved instrument, "An Angel with a violin !" as he is apostrophised by his lyrical celebrant, one in whose warbling notes the listeners hear by turns the Stromkarl sing, the:cataract booming downwards, the scream of seabirds on the wing— " Meru:nom: of the forest trees, The plunge of the implacable seas!" these, with a Spanish Jew from Alicant, make up the singular concourse in the inn house-room at Sudbury, on the autumn evening when the Tales are told. Seven tales they are in all, each told by one of the personages above enumerated. To the landlord) being a patriotic landlord) we owe the opening tale of the series, entitled "Paul Rel;ere's Ride," an incident of the old war, relating to the lighting up of a beacon and the rousing of whole country side by the midnight gallop of a single horseman. Brief though the story is, it is " full of fire and fury," and yet, for once, "signifying" something! The Student's tale is a charming version of that painful little love-tale of Boccaccio's about " The Falcon of Ser Federigo." Tenderly though it is here related in these lovely verses of Longfellow, it comes to us now, as painfully as ever. We grieve as poignantly at the close of it, as ever we did of yore, over the evil fate of the poor gerfalcon whose neck is wrung by his master, and whose smoking budy, stuffed with spice, is feasted upon by the beautiful widow, the lost love of old of Ser. Federigo, but who is won back to him thus in his poverty and dejection by this exquisitely painful evidence of hospitality towards her under his cottage-roof! Monne Gio vanna is the youthful widow in this familiar love story of Florence. Charmingly, when her little boy is prattling to Ser Federigo, does the poet sing— " The voice was hers, and made strange echoes start Through all the haunted chambers of his heart, As an Eolian harp through gusty door !: Of some old ruin its wild music pours." Even, however, the bewitching poetic atmca phere here thrown around the tender legend of " The Falcon Of of Ser Federigo'' fails to reconcile us to it. the Legend j of Rabbi Ben Levi, the tale related by the Spanish Jew, we think nothing whatever. We pass it by with indifference. It is literally as nothing when brought into comparison with a similar legend told years and years ago by our lamented Leigh Hunt. As for the Theologian's Tale of Torquemada, it is, from first to last, simply hideous and utterly loathsome. The incident it recounts, is, in effect, one too fearful of its kind to have been selected as a subject for the imagination to dwell upon. We pass it by with a shudder of abhorrence. Curiously apropos to the discussions about "Small Bird Murder," which have been of late maintained in the public journals in this country, and probably also on the other side of the Atlantic, is the tale, prettily told here, at the close of this series of poems—told, too, by the Poet, meaning the poet who is described as among the guests in the Wayside Inn at Sudbury—a wonderfully logical, and, to our mind, entirely convincing little apologue, about " The Birds of Klling worth," birds that were certainly not worth killing ! Five out of the seven stories told in the Wayside Inn have now been briefly particularised—namely, those of the Landlord, the Poet, the Student, the Spanish Jew, and the Theologian. Two others, as representing, the one, the chief merit, the other, the chief demerit of the book, have yet to be specified. One of them it is trite has already been casually glanced at as, to our mind, the principal beauty and glory of the collection. The other, is by far the longest poem in the book, sub divided as it is into as many as two-and-twenty minor poems, making up the whole tale told by the incoherent Musician. He it is who sings to us through upwards of 100 out of the 244 pages—sacred here only to "The Way side Inn," and " Birds of Passage"—sings to us joltingly, confusedly, unmusically, unsatisfac torically in every imaginable wayr—" The Saga of King Olaf." Coming to us, as this, the chief poem of the book does at the very centre of it, it is only comparable, according to our fancy, to a very dry, choking, husk, as the. core' of some delicious blooming, nectarious, ambrosial fruit dropped ripely into our hands, a fruit that we are other wise disposed to luxuriate over with a sort of rapture. Drinking in the whole flavour and succulence of it with unmarred delight, bat for this same unwelcomed husk of " The Sage of King Olaf," we can make nothing of that—at least, we certainly cannot swallow it ! It is a husky core and a very large one in proportion to the dimensions of the fruit itself, that we should dearly like to cut out of it altogether and throw aside as valueless, as worse than valueless, as entirely intolerable. How Professor Longfellow could ever have taken the trouble to write it, how any one among his most infatuated admirers could ever affect, as some, we observe, are actually doing, to take even the smallest modicum of pleasure in reading it, alike passes our comprehension. To our palate it is, just in one plain word, unendurable. By way of compensation, hoetever, we have the poet's lovely version of that beautiful old legend about " King Robert of Sicily," here already spoken of by us in terms of unrestricted and now deliberately reiterated admiration. A legend it is that Leigh Hunt some years ago told very gracefully in prose in his elegant Christmas volume entitled, deliciously, "A Jar of Honey from Mount Hybla," Never yet, however, by poet old or young, English or Italian, has the bewitching tale been told so exquisitely as it has been here told by Professor Longfellow. As told by him, it will take its place henceforth amongst the cherished gems of American literature. From first to last we fail to detect a flaw in it. Very recently though the book has been published, in which it is contained—a very opal in a setting of gold —we have read it again and yet again. [t is too long for quotation by us entire, and it would be a cruelty to tear it up piecemeal, as fragmentary quotations. The incident will probably be remem bered by many as being the ordeal imposed by Heaven in punishment, according to the lovely old Sicilian legend, upon King Robert of Sicily, the brother of the reigning Pontiff Pope Urbane and of the German Emperor Valmond—in punish ment to King Robert of Sicily, for his impious pride in scouting as treasonous to himself the chaunt by the priests, one evening at Vespers, of the awful words, "deposuit potentes de sede et ex ultavit hundies," words so familiar to us as a portion of the beautiful IVlagnificat ! How the ordeal is passed through by King Robert, and with what effect, let Longfellow's new poem be turned to by the reader in order to learn. Having said which— let us pass on to the seven minor poems clustered together at the close of the volume, under the title of " Birds of Passage—Flight the Second !" Recalling to mind thereby—on reading that mention of flight the second—the minor poems at the close of " Miles Standish," among which appeared Longfellow's lovely verses upon Children, verses which have since then been dear to our very heart's remembrance. A companion to that beautiful little Poem on Children we here give, as, altogether, about the choicest jewel of the present collection. It is entitled— THE CHILDREN'S HOUR. Between the dark and the daylight, When the Eight is beginning to lower, Comes a pause in the day's occupations, That is known as the Children's Hour. I hear in the chamber above me The patter of little feet, The sound of a door that is Dpened, And voices soft and sweet. From my study I see in the lamplight, Descending the broad hall-stair, Grave Alice, and laughing Allegra, And Edith with golden hair. A whisper, and then a silence : Yet I know by their merry eyes They are plotting and planning together • To take me by surprise. A sudden rush from the stairway, A sudden raid from the hall : By three doors lett unguarded They enter my castle wall! They climb up into my turret O'er the arms and back of my chair; If I try to escape they surround me; They seem to be everywhere. They almost devour me with kisses, Their arms about me entwine, Till I think of the Bishop of Bingen In his Mouse -Tower on the Rhine I Do you think, 0 blue-eyed banditti, Because you have scaled the wall, Such an old moustache as I am Is not a match for you all ! I have you fast in my fortress, And will not let you depart, But put you down into the dungeon In the round-toirer of my heart. And there will I keep you forever, Yes, forever and a day, Till the walls shall crumble to ruin, And moulder in dust away 1 Of the " old moustache" who sings these delicious verses—verses filled full of that home tenderness which has already made the name of Henry Longfellow " familiar as household words" on so many hearths here in Old England—the charming little volume now under notice presents to us as its frontispiece a delightful portraiture. It is evi dently from a photograph. It represents the author as he is now—bearded, " moustache" and all—precisely the very countenance we should have wished to recognise as that of the poet Longfellow. -,.--,' - _ „ ~ , , , , -,- ~, T , r 7 ~ ~ „ c , . 61113 _ , shl 01 ti I/1 Illitzt ~.,..

Villebois, the master of the West Norfolk hounds, left Sandring' ham shortly after nine o'clock on Friday morning and drove to Burnham, for the purpose of hunting with the West Norfolk. Several foxes Wer e " found," but unfortunately could not be got awaP Saturday was the last " day out" with the hound s during the Prince's present visit to Sandringbauh and there was consequently assembled such a "field " as has probably never before been witnessed in Norfolk. At about eleven o'clock the field Was joined by the Prince of Wales, Lieut.-Gener al Knollys, Major Teesdale, and Mr. Fisher. He r Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, accompani e d by the Hon. Mrs. F. Stonor, drove a pair of greys The worthy master, with his huntsman, Tom Tip ton, at once commenced the " draw" of the home , the Brick-kiln, and the Babingley covers, but though several foxes were started they managed to get " to earth," and obstinately refused to " break avail. This was the more regretted, as on the previous occasion when the meet was at Sandringham lC turned out a blank day.

Proposed Cavalry Barracks at Chelsea, On Saturday a numerous deputation from th e inhabitants of Chelsea waited upon the Earl c lO Grey and Ripon, Secretary of State for War, a t the War-office, Pall-mall, to protest against the adoption by the Government of a proposed site for ne ll : cavalry barracks in that district. Earl de Grey an d Ripon received the deputation at the War-office at 12 o clock. Mr. Tite, M.P., introduced them, and read a memorial issued by the vestry of Chelsea , from which it appeared that the Govern' nient intend to pull down the barracks i 4 Knightsbridge, and erect others on a plot of lurid called " Quail's field," situated on the south side of Sloane-street. The memorial pointed out the in' jury the erection of the proposed barracks would de to the valuable house property in the neighbou r hood, and suggested that it would impede improve' meats now contemplated, and that a better sit ° might be found on the Surrey side ,of the Chelsea suspension-bridge. Mr. Tite said he concurred with these views. The Rev. Mr. Burgess,, rector ef Upper Chelsea, and the Rev. Mr. Neven took a sirol lar view of the effects to be produced by theereetioll of the proposed barracks, and remarked that they would be injurious to the rating of the p arish. Earl de Grey said there could be but little doubt that whatever locality might be chosen similar cons' plaints would arise. lie would admit that barrackS not desirable, but h e had in any district were to deal with the exigencies of the service, There wasupon whic h there was complete c er aint n the cavalry b arrac ks 3 5 Knightsbridg e were most uncomfortable and in conve nient, and toy, one p n o d in thatt was that that the sooner th ey were puller down the better.
