He is not one of the 3e laissez alier sort of individuals wkio rest satin. feed with anythir,g so Long 63 they theroselvs are left in peace. Whether ha discourses upon the wrongs or injuries of Poland, or seeks other topi cs of interest and importance, ho is always energetic and enthusiastic. On Tuesday last he had a very congenial subjfcl on which to descant, and it was a question also which is closely conn ected with the moat vital Interests of his own country, and Should) therefore, engage the attention of all who are con cerned in the legislation of the British Empire. The state and condition of Ireland have for a long period been SOUrCC.9 of anxiety and apprehension to the Cabinet, the Pa:iisment, and the country gene rally. Sir RCB2LT P2EI, erapl..atically declared that " Lel4ad VW his difficull." Succzeding statesmen have felt the same embarrassment, if they have not had the candour and courage to own it. The present Ministry have not been at all happy in their attempts in this locality, nor did they deserve to bs successful where so many wiser and greater men had failed before them, for they seem to have gone out of their way an many occasions to irritate and annoy the Irish, and that, too, without any special cause for interference which could justify the risk of offending prejudices and provoking ill. will. The Irish members have often alluded to the want of courtesy which has been shown to them, and still the same tactics are displayed, their griev ances are treated with derision, and their indigna tion meets nothing but contempt. In some C.ISCS, indeed, the authorities have gone so far that they have had to draw back from their decisions, as in the instance of the Galway contract, which was BO abruptly terminated, and in a manner that gave so mach offence. They appear, however, to have gained wisdom from experience in some degree, for the tone of the debate the other night was conspicuous for the absence of that ascerbity and exaggeration so apt t o b e apparent w h en I r i sh questicns are on the Lapis. Mr. HENNESSY called particular attention to the condition of Ireland at the present time, and especially to the serious evils that arise from the agricultural population leaving the country. It is unfortunate that the division on the point was adverse to the proposal of Mr. HENNESSY; but it does not by any means follow that no result will ensue therefrom, for the discus sion which was raised upon it has drawn attention to the subject, and at a future period we may mark the good effects that it has produced. At all events, no one denied the truth of the hon. member's pre mises, if they did not exactly accord with the con clusions he drew from them. The fact is that the unwillingness which is universally felt to making any changes or alteration in a system is so over whelming in its influence, and that unless any epee cial event or untoward incident calls for steps to be taken without delay, little or no heed is paid to the arguments, entreaties, and expostulations of pres cient observers or earnest reformers. A private member can seldom manage to induce the Treasury benches to listen to him when he proclaims the wrongs or animadverts upon the injustice which he has seen, and wh:ch imperatively call far a remedy. If only a portion of Mr. HENNESSY'S recital were true there would still exist ample grounds for the enforcement of some remedial change. The emigra tion now taking place is greater than at any period for ten years, and this in itself is a very telling fact against the efficacy of existing legislation. It must produce most disastrous effects, and exercise a deem riorating influence on the welfare of the country, for it to be subjected to this constant drain upon its resources. It has been said— " ill fares tho land to hastening ills a prey, Where wealth accumulates, and men decay." If the former allusion does not 'apply to the prospects of Ireland, it has the additional drawback of having to encounter the evil, unmitigated by adventitious circumstances. The suggestions made by Mr. HEN. NEM' seem to be worthy of notice. Men will not stayat home if they see others rushingabroad, unless some inducements are cffered to them. For this the proposal to reclaim waste lands is an admirable one. Sir R. PEEL affirmed that immense quantities had been appropriated, but there is no reason why all should not. Another good idea was that public works should be organised, but this did not seem to be much thought of. When it is considered, however, that by ;his means employment would be given to vast numbers, and that many restless and diosatihfied persons would become settled and satis. fled in their own country, it seems a pity that nothing should be done, Lord PALMERSTON did not address himself to the subject wi:h so much cordiality as Sir ROBERT PEEL. He seemed rather impatient with the whole thing, and glad to fall back on the resources of his strength to put down the attempt at interference with legisla tion, Lord S. MANNERS very properly said that he thought the " hon. member for King's County had met with rather hard measures from the Govern ment." The conclusion to be drawn from the speeches of the Government members who took part in the debate seems to be that great evils undoubtedly exist in Irelend, and that it would be well if they could be rectified, but they also seem to imply that they are not at present prepared to do anything to improve the state of affairs, and also do not intend to assist others in the task of reform. Such a course of action is hardly in unison with the reauirements of men in their responsible position, and it is not thus that they will gain the confidence of Ireland nor the respect of England. They make the grave mistake of looking upon the subject as an irksome task they are glad to shirk, and not as a solemn duty which they are called upon to perform with the utmost ability and earnestness. Amid all the changes and chances which dis tinguish one Parliamentary session from another, some events recur with unvarying pertinacity. Year by year some subjects are brought up for the mere sake of reminding the world of their existence. Year by year they pass through the customary forms and quietly sink into oblivion for another twelvemonth. We all know how long this pro.. gramme was followed by Mr. VILLIERS and his Anti-Corn Law resolutions, and now Mr. BERKE LEY in his advocacy of the Ballot seems to be the champion of as apparently hopeless a cause. Perhaps indeed the case of the Ballot is even more desperate than the principles of Free Trade ever were, since the latter was more of a national question on which men differed as much from principle and conviction as from anything else. The Ballot is a personal matter, and the objection to it, in t oo man y in•a well-founded misgi v i ng as t o s t a nces, arises fro m its effect upon future elections. Of course we are not chargin g every member who opposes Mr. BERKELEY'S motion with being a friend to bribery and corruption, but there is very often an undefined idea that matters are best left as th e y are , an d t h at any interference with the existing system is need lees and undesirable. Yet no one pretends that by our present course we can boast of secur i ng the purity of election. No one is sanguine or simple enough to believe that the whole exp ense of en election lies in the regular fees. No one supposes that no more money changes hands than is abso lutely necessary, or that interest and influence, that patrons,employers, and landlords have no share in the matter. Pocket boroughs were not all dis franchised in 1832, although one of the great leaders of that day now tolls his followers "to rest and be thankful." Bat a general who desires his forces to sit down when the battle is half won, does not inspire much confidence in his own treops, nor does he strike much terror into the hearts of his enemies, especially when a very important part of the work remained to be done. Mr. BERKELEY, who, in consideration of the approaching election broke through hie usual rule and addressed the House, referred to this famous aphorism. Ha said the noble lord had a right to call upon them to be ' thankful for his exertions, but when he told all other reformers to sit still the advice savoured of absurdity. "Were there, then, asked the hon. mem ber, no abuses to redress, no evils to get rid of ? Had England become Utopian According to the ace count given by Mr. BERKELEY, which there is no ream to think ezzggErated, it is very like the Utopia of Bribery and Treating. The act at present existing to secure the purity of elections is a mere dead letter. It compels the candidate to appoint recognised agents, and any act of bribery, intimida tion, or corruption proved against them or against himself made the election void. But he must be a very simple mortal who does not see without the telling, that while one or two immaculate agents keep strictly within the letter and spirit of the law, a dcztta unrecognised and unofficial emissaries may be promising, treating, and feasting to their heart's content. No one can prevent the candidate's friends from working on his behalf, no one but the friends themselves can prove when the little sum given in recognition of their services is handed over to them, and if we are to wait until they are sufficiently frank and disinterested to come forward with that information, we fear that purity of elections is yet a long way off. The strongest opponents of the Ballot do not pretend to say that our elections are what they should be. Lord PAL 3IERSTON himself distreetly left that point out of his very inconclusive arguments. Mr. BERKELEY said that that all he asked for the Ballot was a fair trial, and he might have retorted the favourite accusation of hia adversaries, and have added that it was " un-English" to refuse it. But in fact, as the hon. gentleman observed, "assertion is no argu ment." It is very easy to declare that the Ballot would entirely fail to do what it has done in every country where it has been fairly tried ; to declare that it would have no effect in stopping bribery and protecting against intimida tion, but if so why not settle the matter by giving practical proof. Why not let the supporters of the Ballot be convinced by practice ? No very great harm could ensue if the experiment proved a signal failure; it could scarcely make mate ters worse than they are now. How many of the members of this very high-minded and honourable house would like to look too closely into the full details of their electioneering agents, paid and un paid, official and unrecognised ? But the very fact of the Ballot being so much needed is the greatest obstacle to its introductiop. Members and chiefs of parties are afraid to trust to uninflaenced voting, and Lord PALMERSTON, its open and recognised enemy, does not attempt to deny that our elections need reform, but contents himself with assertions that it would be useless. First, the noble lord says that it would be necessary to make it penal for a man to say how he was going to vote; next, he declares it would be no good to have ballot boxes, because " it is next to impossible that a majority of electors should vote by ballot without their votes being known. He further argued that it would be no protection against bribery and in timidetion, be cause the landlord or customer might go to a man before or after the election and ask about his vote, when, if he refused to answer, the landlord or cuss tomer would know the worst, and that "you might go to an elector and say, ' Here is £5 or £lO. I ,rust to your honour—you shall have the money you promise to vote for so end so, but not oth erg wise." Lord PALMERSTON is of opinion that the electors would keep their promiee, and thus the merit of the Ballot is et an end. It is somewhat surprising that instead of " Hear, hear" following this declaration we do not read "Laughter." Does the noble Premier, after his long experience of the world and its ways, really believe business, espe cially dishonest business, to be carried on in this Quixotic fashion P Certainly there is an old adage about " honour among thieves" which comes to mind, but still it must be a somewhat credulous candidate who would trust so magnanimously to the good faith of a bribed elector when he could not even reproach the man for his dishonesty. If candidates and agents like to waste their money let them do so, and these very "English" electors who keep their word so strictly in law breaking may profit by another old adage about some people and their money being soon par ed, but the Ballot has a right to a trial for all that. The man who takes bribes will neither stop for falsehoods nor for broken pledges, and so the world at large very well knows, But since Lord PALMERSTON stands forward/as the logical annihilator of the Ballot, let him answer us one question—Why is it exclu sively adopted in the clubs? THE SUN, LONDOY, 1 1 1-11111SDAY EVENING, JUNE 23, 1864 Marshal Pelissier on Russian Barbarism, The late Marshal Pelii.;ier had a great regard for Colonel Sigistnund Sierakowski, who, it will be remembered, was one of the first victims of Moura- vieff during the Polish insurrection last year. The marshal made the acquaintance of the gallant Polish officer in Algiers, whither Sierakowski had been sent by the Russian Minister for War, Milutyn, for the purpose of studying the criminal code of the French army. When he first presented himself to the marshal the latter received him coldly, thinking ho was a Russian, bat on learning he was a Pole he immediately changed his manner, and conceived such a liking for him that the next day he offered him apartments in his palace, where they frequently passed the evening together in conversation on the Crimean war, the state of the Russian army, and the reforms which Sierakowski was about to in troduce into it. On terminating his mission Sie rakowski returned home. The insurrection broke out a few weeks after, and his heroic achieve ments in the insurgent army, so suddenly put a stop to by his dreadful death, are well known. " I shall never forget," said one of the late marshal's aide-de camp in Paris the other day, " that evening on which a bundle of the last Paris papers, which had just arrived from Mar seilles by the mail boat, was brought to the marshal., , There were several of us assembled in the drawing room, and each taking a paper eegerly devoured the news of the Polish insurrection. Suddenly the marshal, who was reading the Patric, struck the table a tremendous blow with his fiat, and broke the silence with his stentorian voice, exclaiming, 'Male c'est une horreur, c'est une infamie !' Being as yet ignorant of what had occurred, we ail turned round with surprise, and observed an expression of ex treme indignation and anger on the marshal's face. 'Eh bien,' he continued after a pause, ' vous evez tons connu et farce, cornme moi, ce brave officier Sierakowski, qui a e!e ici lances pasEe—le mal heureux jeune lacmnae, it n'existe plus! Mouravieff I'a fait assassiner avec une ccraute digne d'un can nibale.' He then threw the paper on the ground, betraying the most violent indignation in every movement. Finally, after exclaiming several times, ' Qua pause l'Empereur, comment pent-il rester indifferent en face de toutes ces barbaries ?' he went into his bed-room, where he remained, refusing to see any one, the whole evening."

The church was in fact almost filled before eleven o'clock. The bridegroom arrived soon after eleven, attended by his " best man," Mr Sykes, and in a short time afterwards the bride was conducted into the church by her n , ble father the Duke of Leeds, and by 12 bridesmaids, namely : —Ladies Emma, Charlotte, and Blanche Osborne, her sisters; Hon.

[REUTER'S EXPRESS Per the Etna. NEW YORK, JUNE 11. Secretary Stanton announces having received despatches from General Grant up to 9 p.m. on the 9th inst. There had been no fighting since the night of the 6th, when the Confederates attacked Burnside's corps, meeting with a decided repulse. They also made a dash at a working party of Han cock's corps, with the same results. It is reported that a portion of the s:h corps had arrived at a point on the Chickahominy, near Bottom's Bride. An unofficial despatch states that a portion of this force has occupied the south bank of the river, near Despatch Station. Richmond journals claim that the battle on the 3d inst. resulted in a decided victory for the Con. federates. The Sentinel states that fourteen assaults were made by the Federals on the right of the line held by Brickenridge, Hoke, and Kershaw, all of which were repulsed with great slaughter of the assailants. The Federal loss is placed at from 10,000 to 12,000 men, while the Confederate logs is asserted to have been quite small, The Sentinel states that Grant's object was to gain the strong positions around Gaines's Mill, upon the road to Bottom's Bridge, and connect with Butler, and that his object had been " signally and disastrotoly defeated." The Sentinel concludes :—" In short, yesterday was a happy day for us and a dark one for Grant. We have lost no ground on our right and have gained largely on our left. We have taken nearly two thousand prisoners. We have put hors de combat some 10,000 Yankee soldiers. We have suffered very slight ;oss, thank God." Richmond papers•of the 7th regard General Grant's movement as. indicatiog a retreat to the James River, with a view of attacking Richmond on the south of that stream. The town of Bowling Green, the county seat of Caroline county, Virginia, has been laid in ashes by Federal troops in retaliation for the citizens firing from their houses upon a Federal train. Advices from Butler's army report all quiet on he 7th fret. Official despatches announce that the Federal forces under General Hunter, on the sth of hue' defeated the Confederates under General W. E. Jones, who was himself killed, 12 miles beyond Staunton, in the Upper Shenandoah valley. The Confederates retreated to Waynesboro, and now hold the mountains between Staunton, which place is occupied by Hunter, and Charlottesville. Gen. Hunter captured no supplies, according to official accounts. Other accounts, however, represent that he captured six guns and a large amount of stores. Deserters report that the Confederates lost 20 guns. Latest adviecs from General Sherman's army in• dicate that Johnston has at lest made a determined stand, and that a desperate battle was daily ex pected. On the 7th of June the Confederates had signals posted at Kenesaw and Lost Mountain. Sherman's forces had occupied Ackworth. Despatches from Kentucky announce the inva sion of that State by a Confederate force under General John Morgan. They entered the eastern portion of the State and cantured Mount Stirling. They then proceeded to *destroy the railroad and bridges between Cynthiana and Paris, both of which places they occupied on June 8. They next captured Georgetown and Williamstown, and had, at latest accounts, a force within thirty miles of Cincinnati. Communication with Lexington is suspended, and it is feared that that town also has fallen into their hands. They are moving in three columns. One of these bodies, said to be about 700 strong, has been repulsed by the Federals under Gee. Berridge. The estimates of Morgan's force are various—some as high as ten, and some less than three, thousand men. Adviess from Mississippi state the Confederates under Marmadnke have pleated heavy batteries at Greenville, Mississippi, and Columbia, Arkansas, thereby effectually blockading the navigation of the Mississippi river at that point. Southern ac counts state that Martne.duke had already crippled three Federal gunboats end destroyed three trans ports, securing two of their cargoes, Southern papers state that the entire number of Federal prisoners captured during the recent cam.. paign in Louisiana and Arkansas was 16,000, and that Col. Alexandria, on the 7th ult., captured two Federal gunboats and three transports in the Calasim river, in South-Western Louisiana. The same journals allege that the Federals destroyed all property in the Rod River from Natchiloehy to some distance above Alexandria. Dwelling-houses, sugar-houses,cotton-gins, ecN,were indicrimingoly burned, thereby causing great suffering among the population. Advices from the blockading fleet announce the capture of the U.S. steamer Water Witch by a fo . rce of Confederates from Fort M'Allister, Georgia, who boarded the vessel with launches during the night. The Water Witch was a regular navy built vessel carrying five guns, and very fast. An expedition was fitting out at Port Royal to endeafl vour to recapture or destroy her. The following resolution was adopted on the 3d inst. in the Confederate Senate :—" Resolved, that the President be requested to make an exposition, through our commissioners abroad, to the various European Powers, to which they may be accredited of the violins of the r3les of civilised warfare and outrages committed by the armies and Govern nfent of the United States in the prosecution or hostilities against the Confederate States." In the Federal Senate Mr.Towell moved to take up the bill prohibiting military interference with elections. The bill was defeated. Mr. Darn, of Kansas, offered a resolution recog nising the legitimacy of the loyal State and Govern ment of Arkansas. The Baltimore Convention on June Bth nomi nated Mr. Lincoln and Andrew Johnston, of Ten nessee, for the Presidency and Vice-Presidency. The Platform adopted a series of resolutions de claring that the rebellion shall be suppressed, and no terms from the South listened to other than un conditional surrender,. and a return to their alle• glance to the constitution of laws of the United States. Usher resolutions embraced an enforce ment of the Monroe Doctrine, and the abolition of slavery by constitu►ional amendment. Another resolution endorsed the course of the present administration. At a meeting of a M'Clellan Democratic club of New Jersey, Mr. W. Cornell Jewett, well known for his exertions to secure European intervention, offered a series of resolutions, which were adopted, nominating for the Presidency and Vice-Presidency General George B. M'Clellan and Milliard Fillmore, and declaring that the war, if it must be continued, shall only be prosecuted with a view to preserve the constitution and union, independent of slavery ; that the liberty of speech and the press shall be maintained; that all sieve confiscations and other proclamations, and Congressional acts connected therewith shall be rendered null and void ; that the people of the United States shall vote upon the re. cognition of Maximiliin's Government in Mexico; that coloured troops shall be withdrawn from the fie:d, and that a cessation of hostilities shou;cl be proclaimed, during which commissioners from the different States, North and South, can meet to de. termice upon a just mode of settling the existing difficulties by arbitration or otherwise ; the final result to be submitted to the voice of the people by ballot.

Commercial letters received from Mangan and Casablanca by the Amazon, state that the prices of wool continued the same, and the supply was short at both places. The crop of maize and garbanzos are very abundant this year, but the bean crop is lost in consequence of the late rains. An officer of the Sultan arrived at Tetuan on the 6th, and it is inferred that he was the bearer of peremptory orders for the departure of the Governor Hash Hash, who is disgraced for want of proper activity in the pursuit of the assassins of the French sub ject at Tetuan. Hash-Hash set out for the Sul tan's Court the day after the arrival of this last messenger. The advices from Tangier confirm the report that the Sultan had given full satisfaction to the demands of the French Government, and state that all differences had been finally arranged.

One Vol., pp. 160. Routledge, Warne, and Routledge. A capital hook of its odd kind is this anecdotal chit-chat about himself and his belongings given to us (as just a taste cr flavour of his autobiography) by the biggest and joviatist among our popular Low Comedians. As about the best word we could say for it—we immediately on getting it read thtoagh the whole of the thin gilt-aged volume in which Paul relates his " Recollcclions and Wanderings," we read through the whole of it from cover to cover, if not literally at a single sit ting (seeing that we bege.n the reading of it ie the street), at any rate, right off, at ono innings, on end, or however we may like to put the fact idiomatic slly, a fact that Sem Slick would express in Yankee lingo by the term—at a single streak. Chucklieg not iefree,uently as he turns the leaves, anyone else who has a keen relish for, we won't say exactly wit, but we will un hesitatingly say for a capital bit of fun, may do the like, with great profit to his digestion. From cover to cover, that is, the reader of Paul Bedford's souvenirs may skim lightlyaand pleasantly through his amusing recollections from the lifelike frontispiece representing Paul Bedford in propria persona (of course with an open overcoat, of course with his hat on, the said hat having just the faintest perceptible cock over the left ear) from the frontispiece, we say, sown to the last words of the book ending so . very characteristically ! We may fancy we hear the words trolled out in a deep bass voice, rather guttural in its intona tions, " And now, my fostering friends and patrons [meaning the kyind public'] allow mc to subscribe myself —your devoted boy—PAUL." It is just for ell the world the very kind cf a book that wo should have looked for at the hands of our devoted boy Paul, in the happy event (now realized) of his jotting down his professional sourenirs. The only fault is—there is not by any means enough of it. Like Friar Bacon's brazen head in the old pantomime, now that we have tasted so much, we are clamorous for " more !" And, no matter at what uncertain intervals, just as Gria maldi used to feed the Brazen Head with " mere" —we shall really hope to taste a few supplementary tidbits of the same relishing kind, vouchsafed to us (to devour just pracisely in the same way, off hand, and with an almost audible smack of the lips), vouchsafed to us benignantly by a sort of an after-thought, by our exhilarating friend Paul—Paul with the stalwart form, and the purple face, and the deep voice, and the irresistibly winking eyelids ! At any rate, for as much of his recollections as ho here obliges us with spontane ously, he merits at once our thanks and our congra tulations. Who, indeed, shall venture to say that he is not entitled to our congratulations, seeing that the book reveals himself (the writer of it) as the per sonal associate (among a crowd of other celebrities) of men of mark as illustrious and as varied in their genius as Edmund Kean, as the Emperor Napoleon 111. when Prince Louis Napoleori, as Lord Byron, as Madame Malibran, as Sir Walter Scott, and Madame Catalain, and Daniel O'Connell ! Yes---be it now known and henceforth borne honourably in remem brance, not only that Paul Bedford asso ciated with these and a great number of other famous and gifted people, but that some among them he knew intimately, with some amongst them he enjoyed the high and enviable privilege of an earnest and cordial . friendship. For one thing, by the way, we can't fancy any man being—seriously —an enemy of Paul Bedford's. We don't know him in the least personally. But, at any rate, we can say that. The word Enmity and the name of Paul Bedford somehow or another seem incompatiblJ, incapable of any association whatever ! Tne coupling of the two gives one upon the instant a notion of the ludicrous ! However here, in honest black and white, are proofs positive of his friendships. About the earliest recorded among these being his intimacy with one of the greatest actors that ever breathed (of whom Paul Bedford tells many a pleasant anecdote), meaning that world famous G3nius of Tragedy, Edmund Kean, Paul's first setting eyes upon Edmund Kean, ran the former relates, occurred en the stage of the Bath Theatre in "Richard lll. n —Paut Bedford as the Duke of Norfolk, Lean as Richard—the scene Bosworth's Battlefield! 'There it is that the King X938-+ "Has any careful friend Dl3coverod yet the nutub2r of the rebels ?" Norfolk.—My lord, as I from spies am well informed, Six or seven thousand is Their utmost power. Richard. —Why our battalia trebles that account; Besides, the king's name is a tower of strength, Which they upon the adverse faction want. Nor folk.--Their wants are greater yet, my lord, tho2e e'ea Of motion, life, and spirit—Did you but know How wretchedly their men disgrace the field ; Oh, such a tattered host of mounted scare-crows So poor, so famished ; their Pxecutors, The greedy jack claws, fly hovering o'er their heads, Impatient for their lean inheritance. Now, for my misfortune. When I uttered the words, "Jack Dews," the audience were convulsed with laughter, in which mirth the wondrous "Richard" joined. I could not imagine what caused this merriment - , brE was very soon illuminated on the point, for on quitting the stage my pa , ron manager came to me in terror, saying., "My dear, you com mitted a great error." Why so, sir ?" s_lid I. " Why, my dear, you mistook the name of the bird. It should have been 'the greedy crows.''' "Oa, pray, sir, forgive me," said I, for my alarm was so great at the moment, I knew not what I said. " But, my dear," said my manager, " what will the great Mr Kean say to it ?" I said, " I am sure I don't know I suppose I shall have my marching ticket signed." When the tragedy ended amidst a hurricane of applause, I rushed to my dressing-room, and commenced changing my gar ments, hoping to escape from the theatre unnoticed; but before I had completed my toilet, a knock was heard at the door. "Who is there ?" said my attendant. A voice from without replied, by saying "Mr. Kean requested Mr Bed ford would come to his dressing-room before he leaves the theatre." At that summons I became nervously excited. I approached the dreaded chamber, under the impression of instant dismissal. But not so ; for on entering the room and imploring forgiveness for the mistake I had committed, the kind and wondrous tragedian said, "Make no apology, my young friend, for you made me laugh more heartily than I have done for years." He concluded by in viting me to dine with him 'Jae following day, which event commenced a friendship that ceased not during the lifetime of that inspired dramatic genius. Thenceforth Bedford, obtaining among his other well known sobriquets, that of "Jack Daw Paul." Conspicuous among the revelations here made by this " unbuzzuming" of Paul's, as he might call it himself pre-eminent among them all in its importance—should stand the remarkable dis closure made by our comic hero of the fact that the phrase of phrases that he has most signally immortalised by his mere manner of uttering it, WEB interpolated by Buckstone in the original manuscript of Green Bushes, at the suggestion of the late Mr. T. P. Cooke That paragon among theatrical sailors, inimitable not only in his vast heaving and his hornpipe, but in the very hitch of his trousers, in the very turn of the quid in his cheek ! And—the phrase hinted at ? Why every one will surely recognise the allusion as pointing to no other Bedferdiun or Paulof-u future , past, present, and, we had almost said!" The phrase than—" I believe you, my bat • origin of it being this. according ,to Paul's own account of it, in the manner following .

THE YELVERTON CORRESPONDENCE, oppor tunely collected and edited by the respondent in the great case now before the House of Lords, has been published in form of a pink volumetto of 208 pages, by Thomas Laurie, of Elinbargh. Th e publication is wonderfully complete in itself, and throws a flood of light over this eraraordinary romance founded on reality. The little book Is embellished "with portraits from drawings by Mejor and Mrs. Yelverton," so says at least the title-page—thereby, rather ambiguously givirg us to understand, as we take it, that the portraits are drawn each one of, or by the other! Altogether the book containing this wonderfully clever and interesting c o rreepondellc ° is as enthralling, in its way, as many a novel writ ten (after the manner of famous works like " plirey Clinker," "Evelina," " The Dodd FamitY, and "Guy Mannering") in the form of letters. It is singularly readable and—though about love, and often intensely about it—readable throughout. A POPULAR GUIDE TO THE GREAT NORTIXERN RAILWAY, in 87 pages, has recently been issued from the press by Messrs.

Little Johnny—Yes ; the talent of sacrificing everything to keep it, and of providing for all n'l relations and friends. Britannia—Have you any other higher duties? Little Johnny—No. Britannia—Oh, poor Johnny ! how sadly Y on have been neglected. Tell me, child, how did you expect to keep in office ? Little Johnny—By preserving Denmark and keeping the peace.

William Harris said he was a servant to Lord Abinger. On Tuesday night his lordship went out to a party, and prisoner had to wait up f or his return. The prisoner asked witness to take his place for short time as he wanted togo out, and he complied with his request. He dozed for a few minutes, and he was awoke by hearing a noise.
