The °tied of this Bak its to supply the great requirement oaft f additional Banking' accommodation in Sweden, and to rd a medium for the already imnortant and constantly Increasing financial transactions between that country and thtv,land, as well as for the large Banking operations which the trade or Sweden with the East and West Indies, America, and the Brazils centres in Loudon. The trade and industry of Sweden have made rapid pro gress during the l as t thi rty years, but more particular.y dur ing the last ten years. The value of imports and exports, Which amounted in 1852 only to £4,725,0J0, rose in 186 i * to £10, 425 221, showing in i ncrease i n t h e nine years of about 126 p e rcent.

The total e x p or t o f all kinds of grain in i 852 ly amounted to 132,125 quarters, but rose in 1861 to 1 ,078,436 quarters, showing an increase in the nine years of about 9/5 pet. 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 ad directions of the country is gradually removing the pith difficulties and reduci ng t h e cost of transport, which have hitherto proved great obstacles to the production ot the bulky articles f ormingstaples of Sweden, and the syst , in of free trade which the country has adopted cannot fail to assiNt materially in tha development of its great resources, and in extending its commerce.

The business of the State Bank and of all the Joint-Stock Banks, with one exception, consists primpally in granting loans and credit against securities of different kinds and per mond. guarantees, and they have done little to encourage de porats or discounts of bills. _ The Stockhol a Enskilda Bank is the exception, This -Bank was established towards the end of 1856, with a paid up capital of about Zi6,000, and it deserves spe3ial mention paid for its skilful management, which has particularly aimed at encouraging deposits, and at discounting Wand Bills of Exchange. The results of its operations have been very successfut. At the end of 1862 it had a reserve fund of £ 1 4,431, havingaid diidends of 20 er cent. for 1862 as ell as for 1861.

SECRET A RV- Joseph Treffry, Esq. TEMPORARY OFFICES. London 21, Throgmorton-street. 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 yoar 1852 the tonnage of foreign steamers entered inwards at the Custom-house was 188,715 tons, while it, 18e2 it was 595,339, which, in the year ending June, 1863, increased to 756020 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 be, n employed in all the near trades for the conveyance of goods, with large profit 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 years the carrying trade out of Liverpool has been gradually undergoing a change. In the Amer.can trade screw steamers have taken the place of the once celebrated New York liners, but as yet only as carriers of the highest class of fine g,oo:s and passengers. Other descriptions of goods and a large number of intermediate and steerage passeng,t.rs being 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 miring . toe 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 can 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 fad 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 wilt 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 consiteration 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 subsidy, but nevertheless has been most succes-ful, 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 te s cost, and will be constructed to consume a comparatively small amount of coal; at lite same time of such capacity that, in addition to a large cargo of merchan dise and passengers, they wilt 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 atcured. and con tr icts have been entered into for the bu ldingot other,' of about 3,500 tons cant', 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, ani London to the extent the metropolitan trade may require. The ships will be built under the inspection of Mr. John Jordan—late Chief Surveyor to the Underwriter's Registry of Iron Ships,—whose services as Inspecting En:. ineer and Naval Architect the Directors have secured to th a Company. 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. '1 he Pacific Steam Navigation Company, whose shares,£so paid, are sell ing* at £7B per share, has out f profits given to its share holders new paid-up shares exceeding the amnunt of the ori ginal capital, and pays a regular dividend of 10 per cent. on the increased issue, carrying ever at each annual meeting an almost equal sum, while many private steamship owners, with similar descriptions of vessels, but much sm,ller than those this Ccmpa..y intend to possess, have reaped like results.

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, .han those which have proved so i emunerative to severa 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 ho: se-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 m.ty embrace the co-operation of shippers ana of others interested, instead of by private capitalasts 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.

BLACKWOOD.—" The Perpetual Curate" is con tinued, and affairs get more and more complicated both at the Squire's and at Carliogford. 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 are ready to laugh at the curious geographical blunders of our predecessors, our successors may find plenty to satirise in our proceedings in a geogra phical sense. There is a good deal of information to be ex racted from this scientific sketch of geography, which Burke called "an earthly subject but a heavenly sketch." " Tony Butler" makes 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 this number, but there is something more re freshing in the abruptness of Tony's inexperience than in the skilled savoir Aire 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 an, 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 Cax ton, is a graceful little sketch that is 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, even if we pay the price of parting "with our F ore i gn S ecretary. " DUBLIN.—" Wylder's Hand" is proceeded with 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 is a great deal of power evidenced in the construction. " 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 msnoeuvrer 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. Nothing more exemplifies the peculiar passions and prejudices of men than this expression of their feelings in their last moments. In this paper, too, we can obsetve 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 truly said that there is always something fresh in there d c e o v r e d ier so e f these countries, and that a ny one who wishes to the imagination should proceed thither.e Various fe o L u i sotr d papers complete the contents of this serial; ir , KUPTURES.—BY ROYAL LETTERS PATENT.

Literature of Ancient Ireland," is an appropriate study in this work ; and also we find " Irish Educational Statistics," which gives an account of the various steps that have been taken in that direction. FRASER.—A lengthened paper on that movement in Germany towards the attainment of a national unity, which has recently occupied so large a share of the attention of statesmen and politicians, is the first in the table of contents. The author regards the proceedings lately 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 o 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 anaesthetics, 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, Miss Cobbe very justly says that the dissection of dead 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 ReVtly useless. One of these is the removal of the lfaiffoth 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 owner would ever perform an operation 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 o f it s professors, as reckless executions or murderous Greek fi r s sully the glory of war and victory. Miss Cobie's paper would have been better had it been shorter, and more 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 A5 . .. 11 .8. 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 average. The story of "Late Laurels" goes on vigor ously, though none of 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 tthe "Naval Department of the International Exhibi tion,"which is in fact a rev i ew of t& clever work lately published by R ear -Ad m i ra l P ar i s, en ti t l e d, "L'Art al 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 Zouave in Algeria" gives us an English notion of African campaigning under French guidance. A paper on naval architecture contains much valuable information en the modus operandi followed at different periods in the educatiun 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 feelir g remarks urg i n g the public to support the National Lifeboat S ciety 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 avoided. CORNHILL.—" The Small House at Allington" i s more momentous in its chronicles in this in stalment, for Crosbie is actually married to Lady Alexandrine, 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 "Fi e , fi e . "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 so much 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 advocate of this system might well be puzzled to defend it, when it has so signidly and so fatally broke down, impugning the honour of an army and compromising the . justice and fair play of our military judges. A very wise suggestion is made, that a public in quiry should be instituted into the working of the present system of military jurisprudence by a Parliamentary com mittee or a royal commission, and, it is forcibly 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 misconduct of the late court-martial at Mhow is permitted to pass away without some endeavour to extract permanent good out of th e great wrong which has just been perpe trated in the outraged name of m ilit ary j ust i ce ." ti Margaret Penzil's History " is the beginning of a new story that has something uncommon 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 Book" is 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 b e hind. " 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, - tinent, which is described as partly English and partly special nationality. " Strange to Say on Club Paper" is rather remarkable dissertation on a curious incident con cerning the late Lord Clyde's will. LONDON SOCIETY.—This gay and amusing serial comes before us with all its characteristic features —pleasant, rambling papers, love stories B sketches from our daily social routine, and verses that, whether serious, sentimental, or sat irical, Worldal, have usually a fair ring of music in them.

The Passages from the Family His tory of the English Aristocracy" conclud e th e story of the Cavendishes, to be succeeded, we suppose, by the Howards, Talbots, and others. The dangers and uncertaintiea of cir cumstantial evidence are illustrated by a story entitled "The Pool under the Beeches," which happily ends well, although the caso at one time assumes the most threatening aspect, and only the evidence of a concealed poacher inter venes between an innocent man and his doom. We have the usual complement of light articles; and the several plates with which the number is adorned fully sustain the reputation it has acquired for clever illustrations. DIE ST. JAMES'S MAGAZINE.—It is likely that the shock so recently felt in England will stimulate the curiosity of m an y readers to learn all that is known; e.bont earthquakes. These who are thus ~ PRICK..,,STAMPE 7 ••4d. .1.7 ...sal. disposed may turn to a paper by Mr. Scofferm, which relates some of the conjectures and theories on the subject. " Ghostdom" is the title of a contribution which, like Sir 'Walter Scott'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 he gives names and dates , his tales are entitled to respect. "My Political Patient " is the title of the narrative of an ingenious imposition at tempted by an unfortunate Pole, who endeavoured to cross the Russian frontier as an aged invalid Russian, escorted by an English doctor 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 stories, 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 Women are engaged." When we find these employments include, as they do, hard and degrading labour, such as filling coal trucks, several depart merrovof briekmairing, 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 evon 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 oi 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 au 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 exit mine new ideas, and then to aid in their dissewination—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." TIIE ECLECTIC.—Wo 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 religious views of the journal, is an essay entitled, " History in Chancery," which passes under review some of Macaulay's brilliant but ex parte statements NEWS.

We have had a few balls of late years on a large scale for charitable purposes, hut they have been dwarfed in their proportions from the want of a salle de danse sufficiently Inagaiificent. There was the grand fancy ball at the Bandver-square Rooms a few years ago for the benefit of the Royal Academy of Music. It was honourt'd by the pre sence of the Queen and Prince Consoct, and ladies of the hi g h est rank got up quadrilles,and were attired in coVueaes su ggestive of night, fire, the .stars, &c: Hundred s w e re kept away by the smallne so of the rooms, and the crush rendered dancing alaco. st im possible. But imagine a ball under simila aus pices in the Cry stal Palace, with gas jets muting' gallerie s , an d vau lt e d roo f, Nyi . th along the columns, coloured lamps in the vistas and concealed amo a t ; the foliage I Remember the accommodation whirl. r the galleries would offer to p ersons w illi ng t o pa towards the charity for the spectacle, but without pretensions or inclination to join the brilliant throng on the floor! The only ball-room of ad equate size for this vast metropolis is the Guildhall, and that, after having served the turn of the Poles and the Warehousemen and Clerks' Schools, is now crowded to inconvenience by the Licensed Victuallers. Why should they not hold their charitable balls for 1864 in the Crystal Palace? What is to hinder the Ger mans from giving their Hospital Ball at Sydenham, or the French their Societe de la Bienfaisance Ball I' Who would not pay something tosee the Caledonian Ball from a seat in- the.panful ?. , , If - t4e Ar4a4.l 3 f. - , 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 offered 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, WO 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 oat. Each charitable society would require some special devices, in the nature of " local colouring," to keep its claims before 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 P why not the struggling and 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 scale de danse. The directors would let the building to so-, cieties, 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 further shilling or half-crown for the night fête. On public illuminations tradesmen would willingly erect their transparencies, festoons, and devices—their stars, crowns, and V.R.'s—at their own expense, so that they might advertise their names as in the Strand or Cornhill. Wo believe we shall be guilty of no breach of confidence if we say that proposals for night/des have been at various times brought before the dine. tore. 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, tw.)-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, w e sub mit that the time has come for considering it afresh, There used to be but one railway to London. There arc now three, and there will soon be half a dozen. Modern railway managers aro accustomed to the transport of large masses, even at night. On gala days the Crystal Palace trains are even now runni ng up to midnight. On the Derby Day the C ro yd on. and Epsom trains bring thousands to town after it werestal Palace, the fashion h half ion to the dark. At every Volunteer revi ew l arge masses ara ngtita. If t the cry h h o ro ld ug a h ri t s a to w cr a a y atict balls company would travel in their own carriages The Palace, moreover, can offer such unequalled facilities in the way of cloak-rooms, retiring-rooms, co i ffeurs, and atte n d ants, that ladies might cave 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. 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 " Heiberg, 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 th s 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. It will be seen that we bold no Puritanic views on dancing as an amusement. Lord Neaves at the Social Congress at Edinburgh the other day offered an earnest plea for mere amusement—entertainment without any knowledge at all. Now and then one hears of a sensible clergyman's wife who finds her Sunday-school children all the happier and - better behaved from being encouraged to dance with each other on working-days. A dean of the An' ghoul Church—a man of the highest learning . and .bo science, not long since gone to his rest—had the manliness to write a passage which the if uncof not" cannot read without advantage, and which will I be out of place in this article :—" There i\ To deal to be said iii favour of dancing. con genial to amuse ment seems more natural and more e of bringing youth than this.

Let the directors think of the guineas and half guineas that wouid fly out of West-end and City Purses, partly for the most laudable purposes of benevolence and partly to the enrichment of the Cr Ystal Palace. 'Sir Joseph Paxton promises to Wave the wand of a magician, to give u.a a new son 'iltion, and to produce an ilimion worth a million ghost tricks. "I wish," said Sir Joseph, "yon would let me have the b u ildi ng t o g i ve a b a ll or two in it for the charities of L on d on ." Why should not Sir Joseph have hi s wi s h ?

Y (~ 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-Equare,West Hackney, have been plunged into a state of the greatest destitution through the failure of the school, and that recently an execution was put into the house, when all the furniture and effects were carried away. On Saturday week one of the children, Macaulay 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. IL Walthew, deputy coroner, held an inquest upon the body on Friday night, at t h e 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. Mrs. M. Brewer, 45, De Beauvoir-square, deposed that deceased was her child. About three a w eeks ago he w as taken with a cold. Oa Saturday week she not ice d a change come over him, and Y s h e was about to send ifor a doctor when W O2 taken with a fit and died soon after. w he h a d had a family of 12 children, five of whom were were living with her. The eldest of the latter was 18 years old, and had assisted in teaching in the school. They had taken the school last December, but it had failed. A month ago an execution was put in an d everything removed. Dr. Kitchen said he was called in when deceased was dying. Death resulted from water being effused on thelungs,ngs, from the effects of want of food and of exposure. The child's lying as h© found him, in a room Without a fire, and when reduced to the last stage , from privation, was suffi cient to caus e death. The family were miserably poor, and were on that account unable to call in a medical man in time time to save deceased's life. Sarah -i Hubbard, 41, Beauvoir-square, family an.

Mr. Williams, coroner's officer, said that he found the fai.bi:y in the house without as m uch 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 ho had never seen. The parents ought t o have applied for relief to the proper quarter, instead of attempting to conceal their deplorable conditio n . If a doctor had been c alled in before, deceased al ie t not have been sacrificed. The jury returned a ver dict of " Doath from effusion on the lungs, Caused by want of food," adding " that the parents sho ve d neg l ec t in not cal lin g in medical aid fur the deceased before his death."
