The appointment of Sir JOHN LAWRENCE to fill the vacant office of Governor-General of India will give very general satisfaction. The reported death of the gifted and revered Earl of ELGIN has called forth one unanimous expression of public regret, and mingled with that regret has been a keen anxiety as to the . judicious appointment of hi s suc cessor. No ap p o intment in the hands of the B r iti s h Government i s so important as that of the Governor- General of India. The extent of his jurisdiction is so enormous, the W eight of his re s p ons ibiliti es i s so onerous, and th e distance between his viceroyalty and the mother country 18 so extreme that no help from without, no con asel f rom the Home Govern ment can avail in any emergency. The Governor- General must act on his own respon e i, • , zzat bi e , I , it! and rely upon his own r esources. should, above all others, be right m a n " th e% 1 peculiar post is therefo re a matter ofe' for that paramount importance to the well-being of that great empire over which the British Styy EMI/DX is called to rule. To make a wise and 'Popular selection at the present moment must hav e b een garded by her MAJESTY'S Government as a ta s k of peculiar difficulty and,delicacy, the affairs of I n di a having of recent years assumed a position of Pee. liar and vital importance, and the Governor-General, whose vacant place they were called upon to fill, being a man co very ge n er ally esteemed and admired, and so admirably well qualified for his position —in making their selection, the Government have ven tured upon a glorious innovation of established pre cadent. They have ventured to ignore what Mr. THACKERAY calls "The Briti s h Bibl e "—they have not consulted the pages of the " Peerage,' but they have chosen for this responsible position a man whose best title to the distinction is his fitness for the post. Sir JOHN LAWRENCE has already won golden opinions from the Britieh public for his heroic i l i cfe neo of the Punjaub. We believe that Sir lIN LAWRENCE does possess those high qualities which are those likely to render him the wor th y successor o soldiers and statesmen so emphatically and eloquentl y enumerated by the late Lord STRANGFORD-- And ne after Hast i ngs still t4ero came, a great and g l or i ous li 0: pi ueonsul cn Proconsul to tend his Wail design" C ou nsellors and Heroes whoae ta e shall live for aye, with the W e ll es l ey of h4sore,w and the Wellesley of Conspicuous in that moi neht ous list of our Indian chieftains are the recent nam es Of EL • LENuoROUGII and ELGIN.

" I shall go down to posterity," sab I NAPOLEON, " with the Code in my hand.' - 7A e congratulate Sir JOHN LAWRENCE on hii 3 appointment, not so much for the high b c 'flour which it confers upon his name as for the g Aden opportunity which it opens to his hand. The report of the progress of the Madras Irriga tion Company, given by the chairman to the share holders at the November meeting is, notwithstand ing the delays and contingencies inseparable from a great undertaking, far from unsatisfactory. It i s ;true that comparatively little has been done in the ast half-year, owing to the prevalence of the rains which naturally interrupt the works, but progress i s being made notwithstanding. The canals and a queducts are going on favourably on the whole, a lthough the shareholders cannot derive much pro fit, from the fact that it will be necessary for the c anal to be completed before the full amount of traffic to be expected passes along it_ The principal difficulty in their w a y i s t h e scarcity of labour a difficulty which is rt ether singular in a country so thickly populated. The chairman remarked that he expected this statement would cause great sur- Txrise, but there was, he said, a strong prejudice in Tmdia in favour of emigrating in search of labour. We may reasonably conclude, however, that this evil will be considerably modified in course of time, as not only is the government taking steps in the matter, but it can hardly be doubted that when the Coolies comprehend that constant work and good wages are within reach of their own door they will be less eager to start on journeys of speculation elsewhere. ft is to be hoped that the company will not only give fair wages, but see that they are properly paid, and that an undue proportion does not remain the hands of the intervening native agents. The system of contract labour, which has been tried, has prosed unsatisfactory, and the company have reverted to the old system of day labour, em ploying from 16,000 to 17,000 men and women. It appears probable that they are in want of effi cient and honest managers on the spot—men who are accustomed to deal with the natives, and to guard against their tricks and inconsistencies. The matter is one of great public interest, and of na tional importance to India, where disease and famine will always be frequent visitors, until the water supply is regulated, and cheap, easy, and certain means of internal communication secured. The progress of the works of irrigation in Madras will, therefore, be watched with interest here, while in the presidency itself they must naturally excite a good deal of at tention. Madras has never been celebrated for its salubrity, but people are begining to discover that the great wonder-worker—fresh air and pure water —are powerful agencies everywhere, and that it is not exactly fair to build on marshy ground, use a scant supply of impure water, provide very limited means of ventilation, and then grumble at the un healthiness of the climate. This is very much what we have been doing all through India, and many are the valuable lives that have fallen sacrifices to the reckless defiance of all sanitary laws. Officials, like others, are now awaking to the truth, as well they may, for they themselves furnish a goodly band of victims, and the Chairman of the Company we have been speaking of congratulated the share holders on the fact that their scheme was now re ceiving fairplay from the home authorities, as well as from the Madras Government. Judging from the immense results that have followed the partial opening of the Godavery works, there can be little question that whatever difficulties or delays may impede their present progress, the members of Indian irrigation companies will reap a rich reward for their labours, as well as the satisfaction of for warding works of great and lasting public benefit. Mr. SPENCE'S remarks on the independence of the South are well worthy of attention. The ques tion was one of such paramount importance, and concerned such vital interests of the community, that at any rate some consequence must have been imparted to the speech. But Mr. SPENCE was so earnest and eloquent that he could not fail to im press the assembly with his address. There was great truth in many of his observations, and more than one argument which he adduced appears in controvertible. For instance, at the Declaration of Independence of the United States it was decreed that, if the Government failed to produce certain ends, the people had a right to alter or abolish it, and institute a new Government. From this Mr. SPENCE correctly affirmed that the South had a right to secede. He said it was absurd to declare that therd was a right to abolish a Government without seceding from it ; that it was as absurd" as to say that if you differ from a man you have a right to destroy him, but have no right to leave his com pany." It is sometimes very useful to put a case forcibly by way of illustration ; and the extraordi nary mistakes that are made by would-be reformers and social vindicators of the rights of man, are often quite as inconsistent with the fundamental prin ciples of independence, and interfere as much with the exercise of freedom, as any of tho dogmas of ab solutism and the doctrines of tyranny. So far, Mr. SPENCE proved his case with great perspicuity ; and, notwithstanding some interruptions, the gene. ral audience were attentive, and appeared to be im pressed with the force of his remarks. It is at all mes desirable that great public questions should be niootee, and brought before th e p u bli c i n a ll t heir bearings, so that the mind of the people can e mbrace at once the arguments pro and con,, and This decide and det erm i ne f or th emse l ves as to the value ef this s uggestion c or the validity o f th a t proposa l. altogeth„ received Southern indepe n d ence h as not the noti ce it d eserves . P eop l e have been very r ea d y without consi ~ to declaim against slave r y tion at issue ; d V ri ng that this is no t th e rea l ques but to the r i g ht o f one part o f the Union to withdr aw or escedie, it is not calmly con sidered, but fierce ly only de bates, or sneeringly advertudded to in angry to by disappointed p hil o sophers of progre ss , who fancied that the Utopia of the world's long desires was to be found in the flourishing republic, whose fresh and f erv id youth had electrified the nations, and whose green old ago far distant generations would re vere, re spect, and admire. A s to the su bject of slaver itself, as it actually exists , Mr. SPENcE show ed that it was greatly misunderstood and misrepresented. It was not invented by the people of the South..... they did not originate it; on the contrary, it wa s the people of this country who had taken the negroes from Africa and planted the slavery there. There is some sense iu this statement, and it would be well if those who are exerting themselves in de‘ crying the evils of the system took occasion to re member that the last generation witnessed the error in our own possessions, and witnessed the crimes they shudder at rife among their own countrymen. It is wise to turn from the excitement of the preeent sphere s of discussion and IIOW and then to contem- Plate them from afar, as 7.7t'e calm Slatl baud,' TIM SUN. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 1, 1863. regions of the past. Nothing can excuse slavery ; it is a disgrace and a degradation to humanity ; but nothing great was well achieved in this world by precipitancy. Demagogues may declaim, and agi tators may stir up revolts, bat the solid and lasting change must take time for its working out. There is no greater mistake than to introduce a startling change with undue rapidity—in fact, it often does more harm than leaving things alone for a time. Mr. SPENCE very truly said that there could be no " emancipation that would benefit the negro without the co-operation and by the act of the Southerners themselves." This is strictly founded on fact ; all else would create confusion worse con founded, and give rise to far greater and more fearful evils than those at present existing. The gradual infusion of influe►:ce, the spread of the refining impressions of civilisation, will do more real and lasting work towards the great achieve ment of emancipation than all the violence of public speakers, and all the vaunted efficacy of spurious proclamations. Mr. SPENCE put the question well, when he asked the assembly if they thought we should ever have agreed to eman cipation if the people of France had invaded us to make us to do so. There is consistency in every thing, and the very notion cf anything approach ing to intimidation naturally rouses the just in dignation, and provokes the wrath of a nation. Mr. SPENCE concluded his address by an earnest expression of hope that this country would do something in this great point at issue. Truly did he say that it was not by doing nothing that we became what we are, and " that it was our duty upon an American question not to follow but to lead." This a subject well deserving reflection, for it concerns our reputation, as one of the foremost powers of the world, not to be always left behind in the regulation of great questions, and the dis cussion of important interests. It was not always so in the history of this land. " Not thus we gained an empire where never sets the sun." The annals of our race record many a stirring scene in which England was the arbiter of the destinies of other nations ; but now all we dare to do is to fold our hands, and leave things to take their course. It is a deplorable calamity to witness such strife and slaughter among the descen dants of the Anglo-Saxon race. We are intimately connected with them, and old associations should have their way, even among the arid ways, and through the unsympathetic labyrinths of politics. As Mr. SPENCE observed, " the blessing of peace can only endure on one basis, and that is the Inde. pence of the South." At least, if we must not aid in any way this desirable solution of this difficulty, let us not add to the suffering which now presses so heavily on thousands, by attempting to deny that this is the sober reality and the undisputable fact. A very interesting ceremony took place on Satur day last in the old historic Hall at Westminster. It was in honour of that Volunteer movement which has been so remarkable a feature of our times, and the selection of the spot was by no means inappro priate as an illustration of the readiness with which Englishmen muster to the defence of their old strongholds of law and liberty. The occasion was the presentation of prizes to those successful mem bers of the London Scottish Rifles who had distin guished themselves at the various rifle meetings of the year, and the distribution was rendered espe cially interesting from the fact of the prizes being given away by Lady ELCHO, the wife of the noble Colonel of the Corps. Her ladyship, in a brief address to the members, Congratulated them on having made considerable progress, as shown by the shooting returns. In comparing the numbers with those of last year, it seems that there were this season 249 men who fired in their classes against .154 last year; 151 who fired the three periods against 71; and 50 marksmen against half that number in 1862. Further, two of the members appeared in the lists for the Queen's Prize, and one was fortunate enough to secure that given in honour of the Royal Bride. Her ladyship, however, told them they must not rest satisfied until they had gained the highest point of honour—the Queen's Prize. The number of efficients in the Corps has nearly doubled, having been last year only 180, and now 322. Such statistics afford satisfactory evidence that there is no flagging of the Volunteer spirit among us, and that the work so eagerly begun is not likely to droop for want of perseverance and energy. Foreign Musical and Theatrical Intelligence, A new oratorio, " The Eternal Country," by Herr Kuster, has been performed at Berlin, without much success. Madame Grisi has been appearing in her favourite part of Norma at La Pergo!tt Theatre, Florence. A new tenor, Signor Limberti, is said to be successful at Rome. Madame Borghi-Mamo has reappeared at the Italian Opera at Paris, where Madame Merle Lablache has made her debut : also Signor Sterbini, a new baritone, and Signor Baragli. " Rigoletto' is to be given in French at the Theatre Lyrique. Signor Piatti is to play at the next of M. Pasdeloup's Popular Concerts in Paris. M. Janin writes in - favourable phrases on " Les Indif f4rens," a four-act comedy by M. Belot, which has been produced at the Theatrefde l'Odeon, Paris. After a long absence from the stage, Madame Doche is playing with M. Melingue, in " Benvenuto Cellini," at the Porte St. Martin Theatre. The Countess Batthyany-Apraxin has made what may be called a probationary appearance, as Phedre, at the Theatre des Jeunes Artistes. This is said to have fulfilled expectation, which 'was raised very high. She will possibly, it is added, appear in a new "Attila," translated from the Hungarian of M. Dobsa by Mdlle.

CAPTAIN SHAW.—Her Majesty the Queen visited yesterday afternoon the Dowager Duchess of Sutherland, at Stafford House, and kindly inquired after Captain Shaw, the chief of the Fire Brigade, who is but slowly recovering from the effects of the accident he re cently met with at a fire. Mr. Hewitt, who is attending on the dowager duchess, was instructed to make known to Captain Shaw (on whom he is also attending profession ally) her Majesty's kind inquiry. COLOURS OF THE STARS.—If the stars be observed on a clear night, it will be seen that they shine with different colours, The most noticeable hues are red, white, and yellow; no stars exhibit a distinct blue or green colour, though some have a bluish or greenish tinge. In our Northern latitudes, where the air is scarcely ever free from haze and vapour, this diversity of colouring is not, perhaps, very striking ; but in Southern climes, and especially in inland regions, where the air is less humid, the effect is far greater : the whole vault of heaven seems set with sparkling gems. The difference of tint we have mentioned, is per ceptible to the naked eye, in our clime, only among stars of the first and second magnitudes. Even among these observers differ slightly The ancients noted some of these brighter stars, and we thus learn the remark • able fact that their colours are not unchangeable. Sirius was celebrated in the writings of the ancients as a bright red star ;it is now decidedly white. Other changes have been noted, and some of these havo occurred within a com paratively short tine Among the stars either altogether un , een, or but faintly visible, to the naked eye, the telescope reveals the same diversity of colouring. Many of these stars, indeed, are found to be coloured in a more marked manner than these wo have hitherto mentioned. Stars are found shining with a scarlet, blood-red, brilliant orange, or deep yellow colour. Still, however, no stars of a deep blue or green tint occur singly. Thus far, then, the telescope has merely extended the range of our view, with rt disclosi ng appearances differing in any important respect of rom those already observed. When, however, a telescope sulEcient power is directed successively to double or mul. tiple stars, we soon notice new and singular phenomena. aNnodt oanelayanddoarwe find every shade and tint of the primary but we colours, and such hues as grey, fawn, and ash-colour, nOtice that in ma n y cases the stars forming a bi nary ssystem aro of complementary colours. Struv e has observed that this is the case in upwards of one hundred of the double systems. In triple and multiple systems, similar arrangements of colour are noticed.—The past week 61 wrecks o / fo r E / cKs .Decem ber .

" MRS, LIRRIPER'S LODGINGS," The New Christmas Number of " All the Year Round." Another pleasant little surprise has been given to his million readers by Mr. Charles Dickens in anti cipation of the coaling Christmas. Last year the enigmatical " nut to crack" was propounded in the rather bewildering announcement of " Somebody's Luggage." This year it has come to us in quite as questionable a guise, just as oddly as its predecessor, but coupled with a name so intensely Boz-like as to afford a hint, as to the meaning of the intimation, to the more discerning. " Mrs. Lirriper's Lodg ings" —.no w that we know them to be in plain terms, nothing less than the new " Extra Christmas Number" (price fourpence) of Mr. Charles Dickens's popular weekly periodical of " All the Year Round" —are absolutely certain to be taken. Upon the very first of the forty-eight double-columned pages of the record here telling us all about them, we have the address of these Lodgings. An address, very con veniently, as it happens, in our own immediate neigh bourhood. If not "In the Strand! in the Strand!" at any rate leading out of it. Number Eighty one, Norfolk street, Strand. That is the hence forth classic habitat of the dear, kind-hearted old lady who lets these lodgings. Mrs. Lirriper, my dear, as she tells us herself in that confidential prattling gossip in which she relates, at the outset, How she manages to Carry on the Business, There is more of the nice old housekeeper of Mr. Brownlow in "Oliver Twist" about Mrs. Lirriper, than of the immortal M. Todgers in " Martin Chuzzlewit." The latter, it will be remembered, had rather too much of an eye for the main chance to be entirely pleasant—her bread too slack, her fish questionable, her anxiety about the gravy little less than overwhelming. Whereas Mrs. Lirriper just fairly endears herself to us from first to last as one of the kindest old souls well imaginable. Mrs. Lirriper, Major Jackman, and " the Mite"—(his godson and her adopted grandchild)—those three imaginary beings, lightly though they are sketched off by the master hand of Charles Dickens, we may add at once unhesi tatingly to the treasures stored up in the long and wonderful portrait gallery in which are ranged the masterpieces of that great delineator of his fellow creatures. The lodging-house -keeper, the Major who is her " parlour," and the little human waif that they have both of them, the dear, delightful old souls, taken lovingly to their heart of hearts ! Among the more elaborated works of the Artist from whose hand they emanate, these may rank, let us say, as some of those marvellous little chalk drawings, or water-colour sketches, that are sometimes dashed off with an apparently careless hand, but that con tain touches sometimes here and there transcending any more ambitiously conceived and executed work of art. Major Jackman—" Jemmy Jackman"— who, " though he , is far from tall, se ems so w h en he has his shirt-frill out, and his frockcoat on, and his hat with the early brims"—Major Begstock would undoubtedly never have condescended to acknowledge in any military capacity whatever. Yet is he welcome to us—old trump as he is—in despite of his du bious payments to the good landlady, of his suspiciously uncertain right to his title, of his lac quering his boots and waxing his old moustache. As for " the Mite," that dear adopted imp of a boy who is so small at one time that when he is on the other side of the pembroke table you have to look under it instead of over it to see him—we don't in the least wonder at last when kind old Mrs. Lirri per announces to the Major that the Mite must go away from them at last to a Boarding School, +a e don't in the least wonder when he comes to tell us that on making this same announcement, " Bold as I spoke I saw two Majors and half a dozen fireplaces !" To read on a little while before this all about his marvellous achievements as a cal culator—in " nmtraction" and " tickleication "—to watch Mirk multiplying fourteen sticks of firewood by two bits of ginger and a larding needle, or dividing pretty well everything else there was upon the table by the heater of the Italian iron and a chamber candlestick and getting a lemon over !—is, really, as good as a play. So, too, is the account of his memorable disappearance one day when they thought he was lost—he, all the while, having only missed his way by following the Monkey —as the Sergeant of Police explains after wards, " him as sweeps the crossing on a round table." The incident of the attempted suicide of his young mother and of her premature death at last in bed at dear, noble, tender-hearted Mrs. Lirriper's—slightly touohed into life though the sketch is, it is worthy of the masterhand : At last it came in a solemn way—not in a flash but like a kind of pale faint light brought very slow to the face. She said something to me that had no sound in it, but I saw she asked me : " Is this death ?" And I says " foor dear poor dear, I think it is." Knowingsomehow that she wanted me to move her weak right hand, I took it and laid it on her breast and then folded her other hand upon it, and she prayed a good good prayer and I joined in it poor me though there were no words spoke. Then I brought the baby in its wrappers from where it lay, and I says : My dear this is sent to a childless old woman. This for me to take care of." The trembling lip was put up towards my face for the last time, and I dearly kissed it. "Yes my dear " I says. "Please God ! Me and the Major." I don't know how to tell it right, but I saw her Boni brighten and leap up, and get free and fly away in the grateful look. As a vivid contrast to which, take the incidental mention by Mrs. Lirriper before that when the forsaken young mother is sickening for her death s Mrs. Lirriper's mention then of the Parlour's efforts to secure quiet for the poor invalid. What ever," exclaims the good old lady, " I should have done with ou t the Major when it got about among the organ-men that quiet was our object is unknown, for he made lion and tiger war upon them to that degree that without seeing it I could not have believed it was in any gentleman to have such a power of bursting out with fire-irons walk ing sticks water-jugs coals potatoes off his table the very hat off his heat, and at the same time so furious in foreign languages that they would stand with their handles half turned fixed ►ike the Sleeping Ugly—for I cannot say Beauty." Here, however, is a wonderfully droll description of one of Mrs. Lirriper's experience of " Servant Gals"—a description that we may head, adopting the happy phrase of old Joe Gargery : CAROLINE—ON THE RAMPAGE! A good-looking black-eyed girl was Caroline and a comely-made girl to your cost when she did break out and laid about her, as took place first and last through a new married couple come to see London in the first floor and the lady very high and it was supposed not liking the good looks of Caroline having none of her own to spare, but any how she did try Caroline though that was no excuse. So one afternoon Caroline comes down into the kitchen flushed and flashing, and she says to me " Mrs. Lirriper that woman in the first has aggravated me past bearing," I says " Caro line keep your temper," Caroline says with a curdling laugh "Keep my temper? You're tight Mrs. Lirriper, so I will. Capital D her I" bursts out Caroline (you might have struck me into the centre of the earth with a feather when she said it) " I'll give her a touch of the temper that I keep I" Caroline downs with her hair my dear, screeches and rushes upstairs, I following as fast as my trembling legs could bear me, but before I got hate the room the dinner cloth and pink and white service all dragged off upon the fl )or with a crash and the new married couple on their backs in the fire-grate, him with the shovel and tongs and a dish of cucumber across him and a mercy it was summer-time. "Caroline" I says "be calm," but she catches off my cap and tears it in her teeth as she passes me, then pounces on the new married lady makes her a bundle of ribbons takes her by the two ears and knocks the back of her head upon the carpet Mur der screaming all the time Policemen running down thestreet and Wosenharu's windows (judge of my feelings when I came to know it) thrown up and Miss Wozenbam calling out from the balcony with crocodile's tears " It's Mrs• Lirriper been overcharging somebody to madness —she'll be murdered—l always thought so—Pleeseman save her I" My dear four of them and Caroline behind the chiffoniere attacking with the poker and when disarmed prize fighting with her doable fists, and down and up and up and down and dreadful I But I couldn't bear to see the poor young creature roughly handled and her hair torn when they got the better of her, and I says " Gentlemen Policemen pray r emember that her eta is the Eva of your mothers and ters and your sweethearts, and God bless them and you!" And there she was sitting down on the ground handcuffed, taking breath against the skirting-board and them cool with their coats in strips, and all she says was Mrs. Lirriper I am sorry as ever I touched you, for 3 , ,,u 1 re a kind motherly old thing," and it made me think that I had often wished I had been a mother indeed and how would my heart have felt if I had. been the mother of that girl I Several of Mrs. Lirriper's sayings approach, in their character as novel axioms, the originalty of those wonderful aphorisms of Mrs. Poyser i❑ Adam Bede. " Girls," says Mrs. Lirriper, upon one occasion, " are one of your first and lasting troubles, being like your teeth, which begin with convulsions, and never cease tormenting you from the time you cut them till they cut you." Or take again her inveighing against a dirty face, upon the plea that " naturally lodgers do not like good society to be shown in with a smear of black across the nose or a smudgy eyebrow." Her description, too, of "Wandering Christians," as she calls them, is capital —meaning those people who are perpetually inquir ing about lodgings without wanting them. tier de ceased husband, moreover, with "a voice as mellow as a musical instrument made of honey and steel," who was always travelling a limekiln road, "a dry road, Emma, my dear, where I have to lay the dust with one drink or another all day long and half the night" —every dot and line in the little vignette portraiture is admirably humorous. The notion upon which the whole series of little stories —the stories, as one may say, in Mrs. Lirriper's lodging-house, No, 81, Norfolk street, Strand—First Floor (going to Crow ley Castle), Side Room (attended by a Doctor), Second Floor (keeping a Dog), Third Floor (know ing the Potteries), Best Attic (under a cloud), and Parlours (adding a few words)—the notion, we say, upon which the whole of these little stories are strung together as a collection, is as ingenious as ever, and yet as simple and natural as ever in the scheme of it. The Parlour (that is the Major) writes down the tales told to him from time to time in confidence by the pick of Mrs. Lirriper's most interesting lodgers, and he (the 'Major) does this at the instance of Mrs. Lirriper herself, as a treat on his return home for the Christmas holidays, as an especial treat to the Schoolboy Mite—who is, how ever, no longer a mite, but a rosy checked urchin, whose face in the December firelight outshines the apples in the dish on the dessert table. Leaving those three old cronies, Mrs. Lirriper, the Major, and the Schoolboy, still clustered together round the hearth in the firelight, we pass out across the threshold of eighty-one Norfolk,street, Strand, with a charmed, happy, laughing, tearful remembrance of Mrs. Lirriper's Lodgings. THE BRAZILS. BUENOS AYRES, OCT. 27. The irritation manifested in the province of Entre Rios against the Central Government of the Argen. tine Republic has subsided, owing to the efforts of Urquiza himself. In the province of Rioja, Pena loza is, it is said, pursued by superior forces. MONTE VIDEO, OCT. 29. The revolution, headed by Flores, is far from being suppressed. This celebrated adventurer, crossing the Rio Negro, has again beaten Llamas, General of the troops of the regular Government, and has laid siege to Salto and Paysandir. The division of General Moreno (White) has dis persed of itself, and Medina (White), who had set off in pursuit of Flores, suddenly came to a halt, wherefore is not known. Monte Video is at the mercy of a coup-de-main. RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov. 8. A serious conflict has arisen between the M ar quis d'Orlanda, Minister of the Empire, and the Municipality. The organic municipal law of Brazil places under the control of the mu nicipal magistrates all matters affecting the police, and the management of the City including among other things the control of the slaughter houses, and the protection afforded to the breeders and sellers of cattle against the coali tion of the shopkeepers and butchers, in fact every thing relating to the supply of food and th e whole someness of alimentary substances. But the Government, through the chief of the Rio police, has nevertheless interfered more than once in the exercise of these privil eges so formally reserved to the municipality. Either through weakness or m connivance the municipal magistr a t es ( verea d ores ) have always allowed the Government to do this- But latterly the Marquis d'Olinda thought proper to place the slaughter house of Rio, and the supply of meat, under the control of the Chief of Police. An official agent was appointed responsible for the provisioning of the city, and having the privilege of himself furnishing daily about two-thirds of the oxen necessary for the consumption of the city, the number of which was fixed by the Minister, and charging upon each lb. of meat (which is about 80 reis per lb.) a commission, first fixed at 10, and afterwards reduced to 5 reis. This constitutes a real monopoly, and increases the price of an article of food of the first necessity, without profit for anybody except the agent. It besides gives rise to many scandalous and immoral traffics, among others a monopoly of fresh hides, prejudicial to the pro ducers, who receive on the average 3,500 dole. for an article for which 9,000 dols, is asked in the market. It is also prejudicial to the tanners, who can neither buy the hides from the slaughtered beasts, nor have beasts killed on their own account. The Vereadores have energetically protested against the measures above mentioned, and hence the conflict; but the Marquis d'Olinda persisting, the Conservative members, happy to put the Liberals at variance with the Government they created, did not appear at the sittings. The Liberals protested strongly against the arbi trary acts of the Mai quis d'Olinda, and offered their resignation. The marquis, not satisfied, re ferred them to the judge as guilty of rebellion, sus pended them from their functions, and summoned to replace them those of their fellow-citizens who at the election obtained the greatest number of votes after them. These persons are called sup plentes. The supplentes first on the list not venturing to come forward in the state of public opinion, the list was gone through in the order of the number of votes, until M. Ottoni was reached, who thus found himself called to the Municipality. Exercising his influence upon col leagues without consideration or importance what ever, the celebrated agitator, the famous tribune of the people, discovered how to make the Marquis d'Olinda appear right and the liberal Vereadors wrong, and, according to his own expression, " cut the gordian knot," so miserably, however, that public opinion, indignant at such an unworthy course, has turned against him, and M. Ottini runs great risk of finding himself alone in the Municipal Chamber, unless the Emperor, not persisting in his conduct, appoints him Senator. But even in this case his influence would be enormously diminished. The polemic on the Anglo-Brazilian question which followed the publication of an article in the Jornal do Coninzercio in favour of mediation by the King of Portugal, has been taken up the official The latter journal says :—" The acceptance by England of the mediation offered by his Majesty the King of Portugal has not yet been notified to the Brazilian Government in an official or authentic manner. Earl Russell has confined himself to an nouncing in Parliament that the Government of the Queen would with pleasure renew relations with the Brazilian Empire. These words do not imply a formal acceptance of the mediation. They announce, on the contrary, to take the initiative. Under such circumstances the Brazilian. Government was obliged to be guided b 3 Earl Russell's no t e o f the 25th Nl a y, i n which he said, " H er Majesty's Govern ment expresses her regret at the events which have ac companied the reprisals, and declares that it line no intention of offending the dignity or violating - the sovereignty of the empire, and agrees to satisfy the demands of those who ear interested." The Napoleon 111 's Transformation of Paris, How much soever there may be in the existing Government of France on which Englishmen can not look with satisfaction, the Saturday _Review remarks, it cannot be denied that during the last ten years commercial advances and " strategical exigencies" have, between them, given an impulse to architecture in that country which has called forth noteworthy results. Even our insular vanity, impervious as it is on many points alike to ridicule and to reason, has been lately compelled at once to admire much of what has been done in Paris and despise most of what bas been done in London And those who are aware of the taste and skill which place the French, in art generally, really and truly in their favourite position as the " leaders of European civilisation," and who remember that, during the middle ages, they were simply the greatest and the most inventive architects of Chris tendom, will be ready to believe that, amongst a certain number of failures or partial successes, they cannot have half rebuilt the main streets of their capital without producing much which may well make us blush for Tyburnia and Kensington, for what has been done in Cromwell-road, and for what is doing in Downing-street. We will give but one example here, but it shall be a decisive one. It is enough to look at their Exhibition Bailding—at once graceful, massive; appropriate, and original— and at the huge block which so unaccountably lin gers of our own, and to recognise our superiors. Whilst, however, we confess all this to the full, we are not at all disposed to hold up the recen works, in Paris and elsewhere, as either thoroughly satisfactory in themselves or as models for our in struction. Things during the last ten years have been done too rapidly, and on too large a scale to admit of that thoughtful study and careful execution which are at the bottom of good work in architecture as in everything else, Per haps the very best of the modern houses of Paris, such as those engraved by Mr. Fergusson in the volume which we cannot recommend too often to our readers' notice, are amongst those erected at the beginning of the period of reconstruction. It is im possible to escape the conviction that, since that time, the architects, skilful and thorough as they are, have been overtasked ; although even a hasty survey shows that they rarely produce anything ab• solutely tame, and, it need hardly be said, never fall into that mindless commonplace, that fixed and deeply-seated clumsiness, which the barbarous builders to whom our contractors apparently en trust the new regions of London seems as little able to escape from as to be sensible of. We will name a few noticeable specimens, in the hope that readers who happen to visit Paris may be induced to examine them, and then, recalling for a moment Belgrave-square, or Queen's-gate, orAlbert road, or Westbourne-terrace—anything and every thing in short that has been built on a system in our ugly capital —may ask whether our criticism be riot only too just. Such are the Restaurant de la Belle Gabrielle, the corner house of the Rue Nicolas Flamel (elegant), and the Maison Tour (more severe) —all instancesain the best part ot the Rue Rivoli. No. 43, Boulevart de Sebastopol (rive gauche), and the corner house of the Rue Reamur and Rue S. Martin, exhibit graceful and original treatment of the balcony ; No. 10 in the other half of the Sebas. topol Boulevart is an instance of the felicitous ma nagement of pilasters. It would be easy to treble our list. Almost everywhere we find some at least of what may be called the fundamental principles of domestic architecture followed—elegant and varied decoration, individuality of design (few houses being absolutely like their neighbours), and, so far es strikes the eye, truthful and solid construc tion. Where a space has to be bridged ever, as in the windows of a shop, the French architect either throws an arch at once, which is certainly the most satisfactory mode to the eye and the stablest for the building, or he makes the upper line of the shop front flat, and places a graceful low window be neath the arch, which then spans two stories. In England we generally have a dead uniformity of uglinesr, each house as like all the rest ot the row as if, the Demon of Monotony had cast them in a mould whilst, even in our more elaborate attempts the front wall of a shop almost always appears to rest on sheets of plate-glass, the real supports being a couple of thin iron columns, which the builder absurdly tries to conceal. Our decorations are either absolutely nothing—the bald wall and the square hole—or vary between the eternal triangular pediment and bracket heading, and the diseased efflorescence of badly modelled garland which breaks out in the neigh bourhood of Queen's Gate, or in the Victoria Ter minus hotel. Of the materials which n ature has given us we make, in nineteen case s out of twenty, e n n ve . n no appreciable use whatever. AVe cannot bake our excellent clays to a lasting surface ; we cannot model the most plastic substance i,ne er s e iu) n laas e et a es r ru t e t r into any form but an ill -shaped lump. in league with the house p o inter, thenp d N:ari p e l t a i c e: e n that a n b i r n i lookc g k t s he wa gloomy,ll wth one and nf forthwith—in thu endlessof bright and durable plaster—daubs it with a dismal gray, which must henceforth be smeared with white lead every other year, like a door or a cupboard. A marble facade would, we believe, in fifty years (and fifty years are the youth of a house), prove a cheaper thing than this abominable arrange ment. People in France would not put up, with such shabby work as this. They prove it in the best possible way, by doing the contrary. It is no won der that their universal verdict, when they come to London, should be a condemnation of its ugliness. l'i . ovoking and humiliating as this is, or ought to be, to us, it is more humiliaing still to be forced to allow that the cause is mainly our own want of taste and sense in our architecture. For our churches sometimes for our public buildings (as the new Assize Courts at Manchester by Mr. Waterhouse, or the St. Giles' Schools by Mr. Edward Barry), we have architects equal to, or even better than, the best Frenchmen. If the building speculator never and the private person rarely employs them for our houses, the solo reason is, that they do not care to do so. The truth is that, from the Premier down wards, we love domestic ugliness; we are enchanted with architectural commonplace ; we think it a proud boast, fit for a Briton, to contrast the cold, angular, and forbidding look of the exterior with tl:e comfort inside. Other nations, meanwhile, have comfort and beauty too; for that the taste shown in the French dwelling-houses and railway stations does not impair their comfort, we readily confess when the dissatisfied Englishman compares his inn or terminus with those across the water. Indeed , the idea that beauty and comfort are in any sense opposing or competing qualities is in itself, often as we hear it, the simple confession of complacent ignorance. It is like fancying that geology is °P . posed to cookery, or that common sense is hostile to the rule of three. Almost everybody feels the force of this vevatioc g contrast when he returns from Paris to London ; it is the burden of every traveller's story. Agd we have here dwelt upon it because those who have the credit of England at heart must wish to se e this consciousness of our inferiority in domestic architecture utilised for our improvement, not re" ferred in an idle way to anything in the material s employed in France, or in the Imperial systenl. Improvement here is, strictly, a matter publici juro• Every one who builds, or allows to be built for hilg , an ugly house, perpetuates an eyesore to annoy or deaden the taste of thousands. And that ninety . nine out of every hundred houses recently built ja London are eyesores is, we believe, not open to denial. On the chapter of materials we cannot fur" ther enter now. But, returning to our more imme diate subject, an examination of recent French architecture will show that the excellence of it, se far as it goes, is due to what Governments can but remotely influence—the general taste of the people. ,ruq-,7 IM/kr, ~,s;--- - 4!

The loans and bonds of the Northern States bear a much higher interest than the debt of European Powers. To bring the apparent rate of interest 0 ° the debt down to 3 2-3 d per cent., the Washington pamphleteer includes the debt which he considers i 5 not bearing interest, and so strikes his average. Fo r obvious reasons this mode of calculation must b° rejected. The American loans, in fact, have been contracted at rates of interest varying from 5 t ° 73-10th per cent. The two largest sums have been only obtained at 6 and 7 3-10th per cent.; so that? as national burdens to be dealt with in the future , this gigantic pile of debt is much more serious Oa° it looks if the total of the principal is only regarde d ' The average rate of interest on interest-bearing' loans, in May last, is admitted to have been 6 per cent. ; and Mr. Chase has been driven to the reek' less issuing of paper, merely to escape the res:pon sibility of raising money at so ruinous a price. The visions of the Government financiers as t ° the repayment of their debt of, say, ultimately .£500,000,000 sterling—a low computation--vvit il £300,000,000 sterling bearing interest at six per cent., are as wild as their boastful comparisons with England, and their song of triumph over the absence of taxation. They talk of extinguishing the debt in twelve years and eight months, and at the very farthest, in twenty-one years and eleven months. It must be manifest that, even if this com putation were well-grounded, it would suppose a political stability in the residuary States which there is no reason to expect. It would also require moral qualities in the American nation that they are known not to possess. The maintenance of the Federal bond in the North, with Dem ocrat and Republican t u g g ing in different direc tions, for a quarter of a century, is a°f" improbability so great, that the world o' build nothing on a hope so delusive; and it i 5 equally an improbability that, even if the bond were preserved the taxes would be borne b 'y a people who have only to excite a popular elan-lour to get rid of them. In the first season of depres sion affecting the trading and operative classes, they would be swept away. But how much would require to be raised yearly The friends of Mr. Chase say 189,500,000 dollars would carry on the Government, pay interest 0.11 the debt, and provide for its extinguishment _e 111 the period already specified. Let us see ho, w t h e matter stands. The total peace expenditure was was 133,000,000 dollars. With 56,50 0 , 000 do . therefore, the debt is to be app eased , and fiat ily wiped off. If there were rea ll y such a surplus,. no b e done. But if doubt a great deal cou ld i llinaness of the the tax-bearing resource s and w Northern States stand at the limit of 189,500,000 dollars, there will be no bt. Trema here inder to is an ob aPP vio ll us to the purposes of the de such fallacy in calculat in g the future ex p enses of the nation by the standard of former times. The American States of the North are entering apon au entirely new e xistence, and no one can undertake t° define what its conditions and necessities will b e ' It is absolutely certain, however, that its expeoc liP tare will be more in keeping with European tha t ; American precedents, and we cannot see gr 9llll i 7 g o on augmenting in the same ratio for assuming that the nati on ' s resources vv i c in the earlier peri o d s o f the h i story o f t h e Unite: States.
