The total export of all kinds of grain in 1852 only amounted to 132,125 quarters, but rose iu 1861 to 1,078,436 quarters, showing an increase in the nine years of about 975 per cent.

Liverpool Commercial-buildings, Water-street. Nothing has been more remarkable, in connection with the progress of Lancashire, than the rapid extension of the Steam Trade of Liverpool. In the year 1852 the tonnage of foreign steamers entered inwards at the Custom-house was 188,715 tons, while hi 18e2 it was 595,339, which, in the year ending June, 1803, increased to 756,120 tons. In the earlier days of steam, and before the recent improve ments for the economy of fuel had been introduced, steamers could be employed with advantage only for the carrying of mails and passengers, but latterly, owing to the improve ments in marine engines, economy of fuel and space has been effected, thereby greatly reducing the working expenses, and screw steamers have not only besn 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 steamer. have taken the place of the once celebrated New York liners, but as yet only as carriers of the highest class of fine goons and passengers. Other descriptions of goods and a large number of intermediate and steerage passengers 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 during the protr cted voyages fre quently made by sailins , vessels is so great, that the interest 01 all engaged in these will be enlisted in favour of any scheme for the extension of steam shipping to include such freight, and there o,n 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 fa 1 entirely into the hands of steam companies. Tile first object of thi 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 will 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 consiceration 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 a übsidy, but nevertheless has been most successful, and it now employs eleven vessels, having commenced its operations with two steamers, the City of Glasgow and City of Manchester. The steamships of the Inman Line are, however, of greater proportionate horse power than those projected by this Company, which will be sailed at much le-s cost, and will be constructed to consume a comparatively s wall amount of coal; at the same time of such capacity that, in addition to a large cargo of merchan dise and passengers, they will be able to carry sufficient fuel for their voyages both out and home, and so avoid the ex pense and delay incurred by coaling abroad. In order that the objects of this Company may not be even partially antic pated, and that the..stations may -at once, be occupied, provisional arrangements have been made Whereby" three new steamers, ot the description indicated, and in all respects suitable tor (lie service, have been secured• and con tr Lets have been entered into for the bu aline; or others of about 3,500 tons each, and it is proposed to commence with a fort nightly service each way, to be increased to weekly sallings as soon as the vessels can be got ready. The ports of depar ture shall be Liverpool for the weekly line, ant London to the extent the metropolitan trade may require. The ships will be bails under the inspection of Mr. John Jordan —late Chiet Surveyor to the Underwriter's Registry of Iron Ships,—whose services as Inspecting En s 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. the Pacific Steam Navigation Company, whose shares,£so paid, are sell ing at £7B per share, has out • , I profits given to its share holders new paid-up shares exceeding the amount of the ori ginal capital, and pays a regular dividend of 10 per cent. on the increased issue, carrying over at each annual meeting an almost equal sum, while many private steamship owners, with similar descriptions of vessels, but much miller than those this Ccmpasy 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, ?Ilan those which have proved so temunerative to severa. well known private firms engaged in the Mediterranean and other trades, and have thus the advantage of toe experience so acquired, which proves that what is needed, under efficient management, to ensure profitable results, are large ships, with moderate but sufficient hot se-power and great carrying capacity. The introduction of the limited liability principle has en abled undertakings ot great magnitude like the present to be carried out by joint-stook companies, which may embrace the co-operation of shippers and of others interested, instead of by private capital, ets as heretofore ; the result being thet the supporters of this line will become interested in its suc cess, and participate in the profits which they assist to even. Applications for shares may be addressed in the annexed form to the Directors, and copies of the prospectus may be obtained at the Temporary Officss of the Company, or at the offices of the Brokers and Solicitors, but no application will be considered unless a deposit of L 1 per share on the number of shares applied for has been paid.

There is mystery on all sides, and its inevitable attendants, misery and jealousy. Even the %Ventworths 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 the while we are rldy,to laug at the carious rs Pr mato r iiiceesWors may find plenty to satirise in our procaed . in a geogra phical sense. There is a good deal of information to be ex tracted from this scientific sketch of geography, which Burke called "an earthly subject but a heavenly sketch." " Tony Butler" 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 savair faire of that wily adventurer. "Ducal Darmstadt" is one of the foreign communications often met with in this serial. It presents a lively sketch of the place referred to, and mentions that when Germany has succeeded in becoming centralised, " such merry and wise little capitals as Darmstadt will become impossible," " The Fall of King Otho" alludes to a subject well ventilated in all political quarters, but in which some may yet take an interest, and be glad to peruse the details at their leisure. A very smart article is that of " Hawthorne on England," and the absurd pretentiousness and consummate impudence of the American writer is aptly summed up and properly animadverted upon. No wonder some doubt is felt as to which country is spoken of when it is said that " these people think so loftily of themselves, and so contemptuously of everybody else, that it requires more generosity than I possess to keep in good humour with them," Further on, we are informed that "the English character is by no means a very lofty one." Like most seeping 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 oyes. At all events, this seems a strange time for such criticism to assail us, although, as the sopa 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 wo pay the price of parting "with our Foreign Secretary." DUBLIN.—" Wylder's Hand" is proceeded with at considerable length, and Stanley Lake is the tire in this instalm en t. H e i s mar conspicuous fig 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. Thera is no one in it at all prepossessing, but there isa great deal of power evidenced in the construction. " Bella Donna; or, The Cross before the N ame, ,, is alas very ex citing in this division. The cunning "Jenny" works out her cruel purpose, an d s o wretched does poor M r. F ran k lyn become that he at last commits suicide. Thus the wretched manceuvrer 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 -I,g,ht" 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 ph ases o f exis tence. " Hibernian Country Pastimes and Festivals" is continued, and affords us au insight into such entertain ments that is very readable. There is the first part of the career of " Robert Wilks, 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 concern in g whom suc h 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. r ln this paper, too, we ca n observe som e ver y strange and customs of a by e g one a g e. " Slides of Fancy forms Lantern," is a very curious little,‘ sketch, that goes back to of Scandinavian ancient days for its eubjects._ Fragments Legend," is an article whichs,erreiipl aysrespherusal. It is truly in the records of ▪ said that there is always something 1-1 • these countries, and that ) an one g who wishes to develope the imagination should .pro y :fae o d f t t h h it s he g r i . ,riai, Various other " Life and - papers complete the contut, FR. -.—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 of the reader. With regard to the infliction of torture on the living subject for scientific ends, Miss Cobbe refuses to admittedly into her consideration, but calmly and tem perately inquires into the question of right or wrong. The conclusion at which she arrives is one which, to common sense and ordinary humanity, appears indisputable. If they have only taken the lives of brutes when the interests of science really demanded them, and have always per formed painful operations under the beneficial influence of ansesthetics, they are morally exempt from blame. If they have transgressed either or both of these conditions, they stand convicted of heinous cruelty. Respecting the terrb. 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 perfectly useless. One of these is the removal of the hoof, an operation which can serve no possible end in regard to the human body, and which is y profitless for the veterinary surgeon, inasmu c h as owner would ever perform an operation on hi s ne h no o t r i s r o el vhich 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 its professors, as reckless executions or murderous Greek fire sully the glory of war and victory, Miss Cobbe'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 Fraser will rejoice to see the old fauriliar initials of A. K . 13.13. appended to an essay beginning with the word " Concernisg." 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 Pi,ciculture very fully. " Three days at Wilna " recounts the writer's experiences during a fl y i n g 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 contrinutions, 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 ,the "Naval Department of the International Exhibi tion," is in fact a rev i ew o f clever work lately ti°n" h, published by Rear -Admiral Paris, entitled, "L'Art Naval a l'Exposition Universelle de Londres," wherein the relative merits of our iron-plated ships and those of France are discussed. The reviewer, h.,wever, 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 on the modes operandi followed at different periods in the education 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 186' is noticed, and a chart appended with some teelir g remarks urging the publi c to su pp ort t he National Lifeboat S„ciety g n n e r a s 1 4 statistics n n' ary the e e s tr tr e e a n te g d th of. of the Theta u l c i much-vexed liberally vaerxn:li I D ant a nd n e i t s h h feo q rge u ei estion comes in for due notice; the writer concluding that if " Federal execution is carried out, war is inevitable." We trust, however, that Play yet be avoided. CORNEULL.—" The Small House at Allington' is more momentous in its chronicles in this in stalment, for Crosbie is actually married to Lady Alexandrine, apparently not very happily for they are on very peculia r t e rms with ethacogil, huother. It is evident that a life of great wretch. edness is before them. Lily Dale is fast recovering, but there is something irritating in the way in which she speaks of Crosbie. It seems hardly likely that she should regard him with so favourable an impression when he has acted in such a mean and dastardly way. Mr. Plantagenet Palliser is getting into trouble as fast as he can, and trying to lose his fortune with as much pains as other men take to get one. The malevolent insinuations of society in making mountains of moleholes are well described in the chapter with the significant name of "Fie, fie." "The Story of the Mhow Court-Martial"—a paper already commented upon in our leading columns—refers at some length to that painful affair, which has already engaged so much atten tion, and which will again before long attract the special notice of the public. Atter 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 signally and so fatally broke down , im p u g nin g t he honour of an army and the justice and fair pl a y o f our m ili tary wise suggestion is ma d e , th at a public in jcuodmgpersriAsinvgety 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 o f th e great wrong which has just been perpe trated in the outraged name of military justice." " 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 behind. " Cousin Phillis" begins a new tale, that is so far very in teresting, and contains some well-defined characters. It has also the novelty of a heroine in a pinafore. " A Scotch man in Holland" is a solid readable article, that presents the reader with a graphic account of the striking things that attract the Scots in their double existence on the Con tinent, which is described as partly English and partly special nationality. "Strange to Say on Club Paper" is a rather remarkable dissertation on a curious incident con cerning the late Lord Clyde's will.

The "Passages from the Family His tory of the English Aristocracy" conclude the story of the Cavendishes, to be succeeded, we suppose, by the Ilowards, Talbots, and others. The dangers and uncertainties of cir cumstantial evident t ate illustrated by a story entitled "The Pool under the Beeches," which happ;ly ends well, although the case 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. THE ST.

THE VICTORIA MAGAZINE.--A prominent fea ture in the current number of this magazine is the paper so recently read by Aiiss u F nfi a t it E h m fu p l lo a y t me th n e t Social Science Meeting on "The in which Women are engaged." it When we find these employments include, as they do, hard and degrading labour, such as filling coal trucks, several depart ments of brickmaking, carrying loads of sand, dressing ores, and the lowest and dirtiest tasks in many of th e nor th ern 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 ev©n 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 ol 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 Marcus Aurelius." Pondering over the enlight ened wisdom, the exalted virtues, and the pure morality of this remarkable man, Mr. Arnold natu rally exclaims, "what an affinity for Christianity had this persecutor of the Christians." " Grapes and Goblets" is the second part of a pleasant enough paper, narrating some wayside experiences of rambling on the Continent. A care ful summary is given of the proceedings at the late Edin burgh meeting, and the nature and spirit of the undertak ing are thus happily defined : "The work of this association is imperfectly performed. Let that be granted, once for all. We frankly admit that the imperfections which attach to all the pertormances of imperfect beings are to be found here also. But at the same time, we maintain that the essential business of the asso ciation—namely, first, thoroughly and impartially to exa• mine new ideas, and then to aid in their dissemination—is genuine work, and especially important at the present stage of the world's history, when progress depends more than ever before on the diffusion of sound opinions throughout the community." THE ECLECTIC.—We find in The Eclectic an essay on one of the brightest ornaments of the Eng lish Church—Jeremy Taylor. He has been styled the English Chrysostom ; and although his style seems cumbrous and overloaded to the simpler taste of the present day, yet the wit, learning, and eloquence of some of his writings are amply sufficient io 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 io rofer to the original voin:nci - .. The most attractive among the remaining papers, as being 1(388 influenced by the tell:Lions v_isays of the journal, is an essay entitled, " History in Chancery," which passes under review some of Macaulay's brilliant but ex parte statements THE SIXPENNY MAGAZINE.—Gustave Aimarci's story of " The Smuggler Chief " is proceeding with interest and animation. He is well known as one of the cleverest and most picturesque painters of Indian life now living, and the lovers of wild adventure will find no lack of it in the present tale. There are other stories and sketches, among them one entitled " Who was to Blame," of which we have only the first part; and a brief but melancholy tale, "The Polish Mother," carries us to that unhappy country which is now exciting so much of our sympathy. We have a paper on " Holberg, the Danish Moliere," and a further instalment of the series on "Bible Women," which this month treats of Deborah, the "mother in Israel." " Mexico and the Mexicans" are discussed at length, and we must not omit to include, among the fictions, the continuation of " Sackville Chase." Either Mr. Pepper or the approach of the dark nights is bringing ghosts into fashion, for this is the second magazine in which we find them. There is plenty of entertainment provided for the reader, if it be not of a very high or sterling quality. STARVATION OF A FAMILY• Another shocking case of death from starvation has taken place in the East - end. It appears that a respectable family, carrying on a school at 45, De Beauvoir-;,quare,West Hackney, have been plunged into a state of the greatest destitution through the failure of the school, and that recently an execution wes 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 a pparently, the want of food fire, and dying from, and comfort. Death soon after put an end to his sufferings. Mr. H. R. Walthew, deputy coroner, h e ld an inquest upon the body on Friday night, at the Waggon and Horses Tavern, De Beauvoir square, and so great was the sensation which the sufferings of the family had made in the neighbour hood that not only was the court crowded, but several hundred persons gathered in the street out side. Mrs. M. Brewer, 45, Do Beauvoir-square, deposed that deceased was her child. About three weeks ago he was taken with a cold. On Saturday wee k she noticed a change come over him, and a s h e was about to send ,for a doctor - when he was t a ken with a fit and died soon after. Witness had had a family of 12 children, five of whom 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 and everything removed. Dr. Kitchen said ho w as ca ll e d in when deceased was dyin g . w ater being effused on th e ) Death resulted from lungs, from the effects of want of food and of exposure. i The child's lying as he found him, in a room without a fire, and when reduced to the l as t stage from privation, was suffi cient to cause death. The family were miserably poor, and were on that account unable to call in a medical man in time to save deceased's life. Sarah Hubbard, 41, family Do Beauvoir-square, said that the had been for some time past in great trouble and want, Mr. sschoolmaster. osiah Brewer said that ho was a He took the house last Christmas, and had about 12 scholars. He had only a few s hillings a week—not more than 10s. to keep five children with. When the est:cation was put in the school was upset. He did all he could for deceased None of the family had bedding or clothing. 'Williams, coroner's officer, said that he found the family in the house without as much as a chair or stool to sit upon. Deceased lay on the floor dead, with the hones almost coming through the skin. The Coroner said that a mere dreadful case of suf fering he had never seen. The parents ought to have applied for relief to the proper romrter, instead of a tt e mpting to conceal their deplorable condition. If a doctor had been c alled in before, deceased might, nut have been sacrificed. Tee jury retnrned a v , r _ diet of " Death from effusion on the lungs, caused by want of fo od," adding "that the parents showed- neglect in n ot calling in medical aid for the deceased juryandi his death." The coroner, of the e e beforethe Rev. S. Finch, the incumbent district,ra_se_ a subscription, which amounted to £ 4 1 unfortunate family. 4, for the We have had a few bails of late years on a lat:go scale for charitable purposes, but they have betan dwarfed in their proportions from the want of a Salle de danse sufficiently magnificent. There was the grand fancy ball at the Hanover-square Rooms a few years ago for the benefit of the Royal Academy of Music. It was honoured by the pre st nee of the Queen and Prince Consort, and ladies of the highest rank got up quad rilles,and were attired in costumes suggestive of night, fire, the stars, .Cc. Hundreds wore kept away by the smallness of the rooms, and the crush rendered dancing almost im possible. But imagi ne a ball un d or s imilar ens ,pie's in the r y stal P alace, with gas jets running along the columns, galleries, and vaulted roof, with coloured lamps in the vistas and concealed among the foliage! Remember the a ccommodation . which the galleries wou ld offer to persons willing to pay towards the charity for the s pectacle, b u t w i t h out pretensionsor inclination to join the b r il l i ant throng on the fl oo r! The only ball-room of adequat e s i ze for this vast metropolis i s the uuildhall, an d that, atter having served the turn of the Poles and the Warehousemen and Clerks' Schools, is now crowded to inconvenience by the Licensed Victuallers. w hy 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 Societk de la Bicaf aisance Bail . Who would not pay somethingtosee the Caledonian Ball from a seat in the Gallery ? If the Brigade of Guards had but brought their lavish outlay to the decoration and illumination of the Crystal Palace, what an entertainment, worthy of the Arabian Nights, would they not have offered to the Princa and Princess! It would be the duty of the directors to employ the best artists, and to illuminate the Palace with. the utmost taste and skill. The coloured lamps, transparencies, and devices would be a portion of the " property" of the Palace. There would be, we apprehend, a graduated scale of illumination, ac cording to the number of visitors and the charge for tickets. On the occasion of a Royal visit, " all the resources of the establishment" must be brought out. Each ch ar it a bl e 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 bail at the Crystal Palace. Why should not each of the great metropolitan trades have an annual charitable ball ? why not the struggling and u nen d owed hospitals ? - The sick, the houseless, the naked, the aged—the poor seam stress, the superannuated governess, the broken down tradesman, the widowsand orphans who have known better days—might have common cause for rejoicing with the shareholders if Sir Joseph Pax ton's suggestion were carried into effect. It will be observed that we do not recommend the opening of the Palace as an indiscriminate salle de 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 and Easter, other t he r and t-sduanytsi Whitsuntide—on o h : d e. ee Y sn—cat Christmas, birthdays, oc casions of loyal rejoicing—might throw the build ingu 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 fife. On public illuminations tradesmen would willingly erect their transparencies, festoons, and devices—their stare, erowne, and V.R2e--at their own expense, FO that they might adyertiee their names us in the Strand or Cornhill. We believe we alall be guilty of no bread rOf confilence if we say that proposals for - night fetes have been at various times brought before the three. tors. 'l'irnid and unenterprising men always find a lion in their path when any project savouring of boldness and novelty comes before there. 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, we sub mit that the time has come for considering it afresh, There used to be but one railway to London. There are now three, and there will soon be half a dozen. Modern railway managers aro accustomed to the transport of large masses, even at night. On gala Day the days the Crystal Palace trains are even now running On the derbythousands to town after upCroydon dark. At every Volunteer review large masses d to E m ps i o d m n ig tr h a t ins brought away at night. If it were the fashion a" to hold aristocratic balls at the Crystal Palace, half the company would travel in their own carriages . The Palace, moreover, can offer such unequalled facilities in the w ay o f c l oak-rooms ,rehring-rooms, coiffeurs, an d attendants, that ladies might leave much of their toilet to be made in the building, and would care little whether they returned in a private carriage or by the rail. It will be seen that we hold 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 Ana glican Church—a man of the highest learning and t _ e science, not long since gone to his rest — had the manliness to write a passage which the " unco.? notici cannot read without advantage, and which viall greet be out of place in this article :—" There? r' deal to be said in favour of dancing. No iveito to amuse ment seems more natural and mor© a manner youth than this. It has the advantagieucctof young persons of both sexes together, anexeeption which its publicity renders perfectly d _ ow each other able, enabling them to see an k bringing of general asso ciation.better than perhaps any other mode things. Small n family parties are too much Tete-a•tetes are dangerous mutual tion. A ball-room appears to _ l'u" e toobserve. be almost th e of rational and intro. se , which it is desirable to cent liberty of intercourse, between young per only scene uniting that degreo . . attention to the promote as Inuch ru a pi s s atollsdelicacy passible all our most vhluable social. sons, with that BC female conduct, which I consider and propriety of the fundamental bas relations." when we- q „ ouote a Dean in fav our of dancing, and in behalf of lighting up th e Crystal Palace, , a Parton we have almost proved our ea se. Let the share holders re mind the direc tors that m uc h st ill re 4 ma i ns to be done to make their property remunera tive. It is a noble structure by day, but Sir Joseph declares i. may be made perfectly enchanting at night--a fairy land o t 1 cowl:red lamps, lustree, and glowworm lights, amung orange trees, leafy fes toons, plants, and shrub;;. Let the directors think of the guineas and half guineas th at would fly out of West-end and City purses, piArtly for the most laudable purposes of benevolence anal partly to the enrichment of the Crystal Palace. Sir .Lisepli Paxton promises to wave the wand of a magician, to give us a new sea- Fation, and to produce lin iliusion worth a million sheet tiii:li - f;. "I wish," said Sir Joseph, "San 7 t would let ma have the building to give a 1):11r w o in it for the charities of Londo n ." Why etiou,a, not Sir Joseph have his wish ? Taut the Cryetal d l a a y la w c : will be lit up with magical splendour o ne have not a shadow of doubt. But why i s this scene to the Eng lishmen fairy-like magnificence to be denied for the next lishmen of 1864, and to be reserved generation of shareholders? 10. 19• 2g. 13• clan ind F r to li of ic1 1 " ovr, did' it. ge6V mai' Nat bliof ' a ll, A re,
