More arrests have taken place in Paris, and the secret conspiracy appears to have wider and deeper ramifications than was at first anticipated. How much truth there may be in the various reports, and how much may be the exaggeration of rumour, time will demonstrate. Enough is, however, &heady ascertained to make the existence of a deadly organised plot a matter of substantial fact. One only feeling can influence men of all opinions and of all classes in the face of such an atrocious reve lation—ono unanimous sentiment of horror and Amidst the general excitement that prevails, one solitary individual appears unmoved. 'The calm, imperturbable aspect of the EMPEROR as he transacts the ordinary affairs of State, or amuses himself with his accustomed recreations— mixing, as is his wont, in the very midst of the public throng, remains the same, unruffled by any rumour of conspiracy, undismayed by auy threat of assassination, undisturbed by any popular excite ment. It is satisfactory, although not in any way surprising, to learn that no Frenchman is either directly or indirectly concerned in the " infernal" scheme. Assassination is not a crime to which even the worst of Frenchmen are prone, neither is the EMPEROR, happily, unpopular with his people. It is to the ruffianly adherents of the disappointed Mazzim that these iniquitous machinations are to be attributed. In this they worihily attest their gratitude for the French blood that has been shed in the defence of Italian liberty. The murderous scheme of OR.SINI did not deter the EMPEROR from taking the field and organising the campaign which resulted in the establishment of the kingdom of Italy. Such magnanimity, however, is not to be anticipated again. The Italian Democrats need not delude themselves with the hope of intimidating either the French nation or NAPOLEON 111. into a greater advocacy of this cause ; on the contrary, they are themselves striking the most deadly blow against their own avowed wishes, and are arousing every honest heart against their plotting. In the Senate of Turin the Prime Minister, Signor MINGIIETTI, took occasion to express the indignant feelings with which the Italian people regard the atrocities projected in their name. Would that those few but sufficient and burning words of repu diation might be echoed in the heart and con science of every Italian! The conduct of a united Germany (for on the question of the Duchies all Fatherland seems to be thoroughly of one mind) is likely to add another to the many previous proofs of the truth of the old adage, that " Providence first deprives of reason the person it intends to destroy." From day t o day the danger of a war, in which we as well a s others of the great continental Powers must of necessity be involved, becomes more imminent. The hostile forces are now in presence upon the spot where Federal occupation should cease, ac- cording to the law of nations, and where, according to Danish determination, resistance to an unjust and tyrannical attempt to dismember their ancient monarchy must commence. Any accident—the fortuitous discharge of a single musket—may pro mote hostilities, and plunge Europe into the horrors of a desolating war. Did the Germans calmly reflect upon the consequences not only likely but most certain to ensue from this most criminal conduct of theirs, in supporting antiquated and unfounded pretensions, we might still hope f or the preservation of peace. But all respect for pri vate rights, as well as for public treaties, seems to be swept away by their ravening desire to extend the influence, and to secure, at all hazards, a safe not boor for the future fleet, of dreamy Fatherland. So long as Germany counted on having only to deal with a weak Power like Denmark, we can understand the impetuosity with which she was prepared to enter into the unequal conflict, although, in common with every honest man, we reprobated the spoliation which she meditated; but now that it has become evident that she will, should she persevere in her iniquity, find herself in presence of a more powerful adversary, we own we cannot comprehend the rashness with which she rashes on her own destruction. As to what the small principalities and fifth-rate kingdoms could effect, if unsupported by Austria and Prussia, it would matter little. But the conduct of the two great Powers, we admit, astonishes and alarms us, for we cannot suppose that anything short of a popular pressure, which it is found impossible to resist, would compel them, in violation of their own solemn engagements, to sanction and stealthily encourage the partial and dishonest conduct of the commissioners charged with carrying out the Federal execution in Holstein. With Italy panting for the possession of Venice, and France longing to realise her cherished hope for the boundary of the Rhine, it is inconceivable that Austria and Prussia should lend themselves to raise a storm, which they may be powerless to allay. The more particularly as the support of those who now urge them to pursue a line of conduct imperilling their own welfare, is but little to be counted upon, should recourse be had to arms—for history tells how plainly those petty kings and princes bend before every storm that assails them ; and how quickly and un scrupulously they have on all past occasions changed sides and politics in order to forward their personal aggrandisement. That VICTOR EMMANUEL will assail Austria, should that Power be engaged in an other contest, does not admit of a doubt; and that the Emperor. NAPOLEON will not hesitate, should he be afforded the opportunity- to annex the Rhenish Provinces to France, is equally certain. No act of his Government would give more general satisfaction to his subjects, or tend more powerfully to consolidate his Throne, for it would be hailed with delight by the Red Republicans,while it would secure the warm ap probation of the most devoted Legitimists. Sh‘ uld the French and Prussian armies meet in hostile con • tlict the result cannot be doubtful; and should the Prussians entertain the hope that England, after a second Jena, will interfere to secure the possession of their existing territories, the sooner they are dis abused of such a delusion the better it will be for themselves. To us it matters little which of the two Powers possesses the Rhenish provinces. Popu• lar feeling would undoubtedly be rather in favour of a faithful ally, who had honestly fulfilled his obligations, than of a nation which was amongst the first to repudiate its solemn acts, and to involve us in a senseless and unnecessary war. Of this the Prussians should be fully convinced. No matter which of our political parties may happen to be in power, the British people will never permit their own welfare to be endangered by exerting their influence in favour of a Prince who has violated his solemn engagements, or in behalf of a nation which has proved itself unworthy of constitutional rights. The interest excited by the long•pending trial respecting the Alexandra has been so great and so universal that it is not surprising that the Court of Exchequer should have been thronged on Monday by members of the bar, and of the general public. The subtleties of the law and the doubtful wordings of the Enlistment Act rendered it somewhat uncer tain what coarse the judges would pursue, however strongly common sense and consistency might plead that our neutrality permitted the export of arms and ammunition to one of the belligerents. There was no great infraction of its obligations in supply ing unarmed ships to the other. The decision of the Lord Chief Baron up:n the point will without doubt give general satisfaction, and must have been largely acquiesced in by the hearers, both on the grounds of law and equity. The careful and deli berate manner in which the Chief Baron delivered his opinion proved that it was no hasty or partial judgment on which he acted, but that he had fully weighed over the arguments he had listened to, from the eminent counsel on either side, as well as those considerations on the subject which had presented themselves to his own mind. Baron BRAMWELL having concurred with the Lord Chief Baron in refusing the rule for a new trial, and Barons CHANNELL and PIGOTT being of a contrary opinion, the junior judge, according to custom, withdrew his opinion, and Baron CIIAN NELL being thus left in the minority, the original decision was allowed to stand, which determined that the building of the Alexandra did not come within the terms of the Foreign Enlistment Act, and that, consequently, her detention was illegal. The Lord Chief Baron, in his very able address, in pronouncing his judgment—which was, in fact, a summary of the pros and cans of the whole case— narrowed the question as far as possible to the ob ject and intention of the Act of Parliament. With the dignity and independence befitting an English judge, he put aside all hints of political disturb ance, all threats of American anger, and calmly and clearly unfolded to the jury the terms of the law, and the construction which, in his opinion, they must put upon it. The Attorney-General had used as a conclusive argument the threat that, if this case were decided in favour of the defendants, it would not fail to excite the greatest indignation among the Federals. The manner in which the Lord Chief Baron put aside such repre sentations was worthy of an occasion of national importance. The Attorney-General had illustrated his meaning by supposing that Great Britain and France were at war, and that Sweden fitted out vessels of war and supplied them to the enemy. Should we not regard such proceedings as a casus belli ? Could we doubt, ho went on to say, that a great Power like the United States would follow the same course, and, setting aside VATTEL, GROTIUS, and PUFFENDORF—say, " We will not endure it." Such considerations, however, were not suffered by the Lord Chief Baron to influence a tribunal which should be raised above all argu ments save those of law and justice. Questions of national interest or possible advantage should not be suffered to intrude into the arena where "Fiat justitia ruat, cceluie is the fitting motto. The Chief Baron, after saying that he doubted whether such views ought to have been pr esen t e d to the Court, and that he was certain they should not be suffered , o influence its decisions, observed with great force that inter national law would be of very little use if it were I not to govern and control the conduct of strong and powerful nations, as well as weak ones, and that he trusted this country would never sully its high reputation by yielding to the strong what it denied to the weak. Such a reproof, to the timorous and dishonourable spirit which Earl RUSSELL has infused into our officials, high and low, was well-timed, and only too richly deserved. Again, the Chief Baron refused to allow the ques tion of the maritime interest of this country to be mixed with the affair. Such a coarse, he said, would degrade the discusion, while the conclusions acted upon might very possibly prove fallacious. The point at issue, as he clearly demonstrated, was whether or no the building of a ship of war for a foreign power was an infringement of the Foreign Enlistment Act, and from this plain and concise statement of the case, he refused to vary. " They were not to be guided by what eminent statesmen had said, nor by what jurists had writted upon international law; they wanted not the decision of foreign courts to see whether the case was within the statute. No decisions of foreign courts ought to induce them to declare if the act committed was not within the words of the statute, that the scope, object, and spirit of the act included the case before them, although it might not be clearly expressed by the Legislature." But if foreign precedents were to be admitted, his Lord ship showed, on the authority of Mr. JEFFERSON, that America herself would furnish arguments in defence of such ships. That eminent American, in arguing on the right of the citizens to ex port arms, said that such trades were the occupation and livelihood of some, and that to suppress their callivga on account of a distant war with America would be unreasonable and uncalled for. "It would be hard in prin ciple and impossible in practice." But although these observations referred to arms, yet the same speaker raised no objections to the supply of ships of war, although he disapproved of the practice of equipping and manning such vessels in their ports to cruise as belligerents. To such lengths as this our English shipbuilders have never gone, and probably never desire to go; but it is scarcely neces sary that they should be so much more tender over the interests of the Americans than they are of Europeans. Such, then, were the principal points on which the Lord Chief Baron based his very able and sensible conclusions. The clause, he admitted, was by no means free from doubt and difficulty ; but so long as it does not specify a particular act as illegal, our authorities are bound to give the accused the benefit of the exemption, and let the vessel go free. That this decision will give general satisfac tion, we cannot doubt, even although the Attor ney-General's intimation of a farther appeal prevents the defendants from reaping the full benefit. It is satisfactory, after all the vacillation, the submis sion, the weak and hesitating policy which has dictated our actions of late years—after the ingeni ous sophistries which have been put forward to reason us out of old firm independence and high principle—to find an English judge of character and position disdaining to suffer such unworthy motives to influence his decisions, and acting in the spirit of those sturdy old barons who were made of sterner stuff than the terrorists of the present day, when they issued their irrevocable fiat, "Nolumus leges Anglia mutari." Even so our English judge stands up for his country's laws, refusing, however much they may need amendment or elision, to con form them to the insolent demands of quondam allies, to accept the interpretation put upon them by unwarrantable assumption on the one hand and unworthy submission on the other. Great steps have been made during the last half century in many orders of science. By the unwearied perseverance of our astronomer navigation has been rendered comparatively safe and certain. The study of the theory of cyclones enables the masters of ships cn the wide ocean to avoid their vortex, and so pass them harmless. Admiral FITZROY'S barometer gives warning of approaching danger. Medical science has likewise made great progress, valuable remedies for dangerous diseases have been discovered, and by the aid of chemistry, in post mortem exami nations, the old superstition, that the dead can con vict their murderers, has been practically attested. While many other discoveries or inventions for the common benefit have come to light, the most extra ordinary, and, at the same time perplexing and dangerous, is the theory regarding lunacy lately propounded by many medical men, including some of the leading members of the profession. Accord ing to this theory, where motive is wanting for the perpetration of a crime, insanity is substituted, or, more exactly speaking, monomania. While this doctrine was applied to shoplifting by females re spectably connected, nobody cared much about it, and the practice of procuring goods in this economi cal fashion might have become general, but that an obtuse magistracy took it into their heads to admi nister a prescription of their own, rather than that of the doctors, and it was soon found that a few months' incarceration did more to check the disease than ever Dr. FORBES WINSLOW'S accom plishments. The late cold-blooded murder com mitted in Derbyshire, by GEORGE VICTOR TOWNLEY, upon a young girl, called forth the just indignation of the community at large. The crime was aggravated by the fact that the perpetrator of the dastardly deed was a man of education, and had up to the period of the murder mixed in the best society. The facts of the case are too notorious to need any further comment. In due course he was arraigned, found guilty, and doomed to die. A considerable time elapsed between the commission of the crime, and the trial of the criminal, and during this period it was discovered that his grand mother's sister had been of unsound mind, and OR the strength of this the plea of insanity was set up in his defence. The jury were not, however, to be convinced that a meditated and calmly devised murder was to be excused on such an inference, and the judge concurred in the verdict. After the conviction, however, Dr. FORBES WINSLOW made himself conspicuous in supporting the plea of in sanity, and by dint of examination, by lunacy commissions, and justices of the peace, the possible remorse for his crime, and the certain dread of' an ignominious death, seemed for a time at least to have shaken the intellect of a young man whose mental qualifications appear to have been very bright. On the strength of this, Sir GEORGE GREY, acting per force, according to a legal statute, advised her MAJESTY to avail herself of het Royal prerogative and grant a reprieve to the criminal. Before the true state of the case became known, considerable dissatisfaction was expressed by the public at what was thought to be an unwarranted extension of mercy to the perpe trator of a cruel, deliberate, and most cowardly murder on a confiding, helpless girl. While yet public indignation was rife, and the true facts of the case but partly known, the Home Secretary fanned the smouldering embers of discontent into flame, by again running counter to public opinion, which imperatively demanded justice. In the case of TOWNLEY, we believe that Sir G. GREY acted with justice. In the case of SAMUEL WRIGHT, he was accessory to what almost amounts to a judicial murder. Whereas in the case of the Derbyshire miscreant, months elapsed between the perpetration of the crime and the day fixed for the executiou) while he had the advantage of able counsel to ?le• THE SUN. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENOG, JANUARY 13, 18M. fend him, the unfortunate criminal of Waterloo road was arraigned, convicted, and sentenced to death within five days of the perpetration of his crime. He was unrepresented by counsel, and stood confused and bewildered in the dock, and when called upon to answer to the charge of wilful murder he pleaded guilty. The counsel for the prosecution, in justice to the prisoner, requested the Court to let the case stand over until the next sessions, in order that he might have the advantage of counsel, but, owing to some legal technicality, the Judge was unable to accede to the request, and thus the man, by his own pleading to an indictment which he afterwards maintained that he did not understand, was dnomed to die. No doubt whatever exists that WRIGHT took the life of his paramour, but the question arises, Was the act murder ? He was charged with wilful murder, and he pleaded guilty, not knowing at the time, as afterwards explained, the difference between murder and manslaughter. In the state of mind that he then was in, this was probably the case. He admitted that he slew the woman, but he declared that he did it in self defence. Whether this be true or not, it is certain that WRIGHT was a sober, hard-working man, notwithstanding that he kept company with a woman of bad character, of violent habits, and thus in its worst aspect the crime was com mitted in passion and unpremeditated. Much sympathy was evinced in his favour, and the visit ing Justices of Horsemougerelane Gaol presented a memorial toSir GEORGE GREY, expressing their_ opinion th a t , trial, a verdicthad all the facts been known at his of manslaughter would have been returned instead of one of murder. Taking all the circumstances of the case into consideration, was not this an instance -in which the Royal prerogative of mercy might have been fairly extended. Not that if wilful murder had been committed unpremeditatedly and in the heat of passion, the offender should not suffer the extreme penalty of the law ; but in this case, we maintain that SAMUEL WRIGHT did not receive justice at the hands of the law ; he was, in fact, per mitted to hang himself. It is customary in crimi nal oases for the Judge to request some barrister to represent the accused, when he is undefended. Under these circumstances, what explanation can be given for the unflinching pertinacity with which Sir GEORGE GREY has turned a deaf ear to the most earnest entreaties, not of a few, but of almost the entire community. WRIGHT was, to all intents and purposes, insane, or at least had not the command of his mental faculties during the day that intervened between his crime and his con demnation. The very fact of a man pleading " Guilty," when advised by the Court to plead " Not guilty," is surely as great a proof of insanity as the twitehitg of TOWNLEY'S toes and fingers, or the aberration of his great aunt. Sir GEORGE GREY has ideas of h!ti own of common sense and justice, to say nothing of mercy. It would suggest itself to many that an Argument might well be cited in sup port of WRIGHT'S temporary delusion in the well know adage, Tra furor Irevis eat. Men have been known to have committed actions daring fits of rage that in their sober moments they would have shrunk from. Great indignation is justly expressed throughout the metropolis at this execution. People declare that what is murder in Southwark would be manslaughter at the West-end—that there is one law for the rich and another for the poor—and that they trust that never again may the life of a man or the vindication of justice be at the disposal of the present Home Secretary. Without going to the length which excitement and indignation may prompt the multitude, there is, it must be confessed, much justice in their anger. Why should TOWNLEY be allowed sufficient time to go mad at his leisure while WRIGHT is not per mitted time even to collect his thoughts to defend himself ? Surely our law ought to be altered, since, while justice should be prompt, she ought also to be deliberate. Both men probably deserved death. TOWNLEY certainly did, but he escaped through his after-insanity. WRIGHT perished even before it was certain he was guilty of manslaughter. Had TOWNLEY been hanged as expeditiously, would we have heard anything of his insanity ? An Insurrection at Winchester College, It took place on the 3d of April, 1793. Strict orders had been issued by the warders that the boys should not attend the parade of the Bucks Militia; that in the event of dis obedience on the part of any individual boy, he should be individually punished; but that if any numbers were seen there, the whole school should have their " leave out" stopped for the following Easter Sunday, when many had invitations to dine with friends. One boy only—a prefect —was detected and reported by Mr. Goddard, the second master. The warden not only severely punished the indi vidual, but stopped the leave of th e w h o l e sc hool, accom panying this with a quotatio n more i rritat i ng t h an appro priate,r ~ Quidquid delirant rege s pl ectuntur A c hi v i," The boys resented this as a breach of faith ; and after holding a meeting, in which they bound themselves by an oath (in which, however, the younger boys were not allowed to join) to stand by each other in their resistance to the last, they drew up a series of resolutions, of which they proceeded to put the first into execution at once. A Latin note was sent to the warden, submitting to the present punishment, but expressing a hope that in future he would Huntingford returned no answer. After three d ays a second note was forwarded to him, very res p e ctfully not punish all for the fault of one, To th i s no t e D r . worded, but requesting a reply. It was returned with an endorsement charging the writers with " consummate arro gance," and forgetful of their position and their duties. Then the storm broke out. The keys of the college gates were seized. Warning was sent both to the head and se cond masters not to make th e i r appearance in schoo l. The warning to Dr. Warton w as accompanied by pro f ess i ons o f esteem; he was weak enough to comply, an d kept away. Goddard (though aware et his unpopularity as the delator of the actual culprit) had a better appreciation of his duty. He was received on entering the sc h o ol with groans and hisses, and with a shower of mar bl es f r om the younger boys—an act censur e d b y the pre f ec t s . A 8111:111- mous issued by the warden and masters to the 18 prefects to appear before them met with no attention; the commu nication between the warden's lodgings and the rest of the college was blocked up, and th e co ll ege gates gua rded night and day by patrols of th e sc h o l ars. T he cry of " Liberty and Equality" was raised ( go contag i ous were F renc h revolu tionary principles), th e " re d cap " was assume d by all the boys who cJuld procure or contrive one, the bakers' and butchers' shops ransacked for provisions, and bludgeons and swords provided, in preparation for a siege.

A messa g e was then sent from th e Warden, to the effect th a t a ll th e boys might go hom e; b ut in that case they were well awa re a that expulsion of the ringle a d ers would follow. The warden then applied to the magistrates (who happened to bs then assembled to present an address to the King) to put him in possession of his house, f rom which he was still excluded by the insurgents, by the aid of the civ il p ower.

MEETING THIS DAY. The half-yearly meeting was held to-day, Mr. P. N. Laurie in the chair. The report, which was unanimously adopted, stated that the net profits for the six months ending the 31st December last, after payment of all charges (including the sum of £112,487 ls. 10d. for interest paid and due to cus tomers on their current and deposit accounts), and making ample provision for all bad and doubtful debts, amounted to £114,323 14s. Bd., which, with £668 12s. Bd. brought forward from 30th June last, made together £114,992 7s. 4d. The direc tors now declared a dividend of 18s. per share, clear of income tax, for the six months ending 31st December last, amounting to £54,000, and leaving a balance of £60,992 7s. 4d. This state of the accounts induced the directors to anticipate that which, in the ordinary course, they would have postponed until July next, in order that the proprietors may participate in the profits of the past six months at the earliest possible period ; they had, therefore, appropriated £60,000 of the profits of the past half year to the reserved fund ; and out ofauch reserved fund, thus increased to £170,000, they had appropriated £60,000 in adding £1 per share to the paid up capital of the company, which would thus be increased from £720,000 to 1780,000. After deducting the sums applied in payment of the dividend, and in addition to the reserved fund, amounting together to £114,000, there remain a balance of £992 7s. 4d, for appropriation in July next. The chairman formally announced that the dividend would be paid after the 20th inst., and remarked that for £1 capitalised 15 per cent. had been added to the shares, and that £4 could be obtained on the Stock Exchange for every £1 paid. The position which the bank occupied was a very proud one, all their branches were increasing their connections, and at no time could the directors congratulate the projectors with greater hopenfuless than at pre sent, Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day. - - Market quiet.

LORD BROUGHTON, who has been indisposed for some days past, is now much better, FATAL COLLISION. —On Saturday afternoon the barque Prince of the Seas, of Jersey, from Colombo to London, put in at Falmouth, and reported that on Friday night, when nearly five miles off Fowey, she came into collision with a schooner (name unknown) which almost immediately sank. All hands were lost, The Prince of the Sea was seriously damaged. LITERATURE. The New Irish Novelist, Lloyd Pennant. A Tale of the West. By Ralph Neville. Two vols. Chapman and Hall. When William Carleton has (not to say this, of course,in any way invidiously) become quite as much ; shelved as Maria Edgeworth—when Charles Lever contents himself with weaving a lite's romance out of the flimsy materials furnished to him by the ins cidents of a Day's Ride—when the last scrapings together of the feeblest fugitive pieces by the sole surviving scion of the O'Hara Family, are being issued from the press as a somewhat marvellous attraction—it is nothing less than absolutely re freshing to encounter a new aspirant to an honour able position in Irish Literature like the author of this capital Tale of the West, this thoroughly original story of " Lloyd Pennant." At once and unhesitatingly we hold out the right hand of welcome to Ralph Neville. Not only his story but he himself we, upon the instant, recogniz, I as an—original. So completely and unmis takeably an original, that the English Critic I may be borne with if he manifests thus abruptly the cordiality of his greetiug to the Irish Novelist. Having said which, we would at once premise, however, that we don't feel in the least inclined to hold up to the reader's attention, this same rollick ; ing, vivacious, and, for the most part, really ad mirable story of Lloyd Pennant as anything what ever of a lusus in literature —as, in the realms of fiction, anything at all that can be defined as "one entire and perfect chrysolite." Charmed, though we have been by the narrative—when once we have fairly got into it—we have not become, in its re gard, in the least, what you would call—infatuated ! Not a blemish in the work as a work of art, but our eyes have been fully open to, even when we have got to be the most enthralled. We have had, I throughout, moreover, a perfect consciousness of the veriest slips of the pen or of the press as the case may chance to be, of the merest incidental defects, here and there, of rhetorical style, even be it said, hero and there, too, of grammatical construe ' tion. The harum-scarum, helter-skelter, dash and vigour of the book, we have seen quite plainly have led the writer now and then into the oddest whimsicalities of manner—even in the matter of his punctuation. Carrying him for example, at p. 290, vol. ii., careering down a very desert waste of a sentence extending over a length of more than one hundred and fifty words, words linked together only by commas and dashes, without even one soli tary semicolon ; after the fashion almost of the long-winded Patriarch's daughter in " Little Dorrit." Another while, in the same vol. ii., p. 299, we stumble over a jolt in orthography, like the reference to " a suppositious (sic) child," meaning one, of course, that is supposititious: or we are winc ing, at p. 97,v01. i., over an unrecognised aspirate like that evidenced by the mention' made there of " an hostile population." We are thus captiously minute, moreover, in particularising these little frivolous, almost, we might call them, microscopic flaws and blemishes, because we would have it understood how thoroughly and searchingly we have scanned this story of Lloyd Pennent, from beginning to end before we have undertaken to write one syllable about it. We don't know where, in truth, we have anywhere met—for one thing—with a book that more steadily, and at length (when the second volume is arrived at) more rapidly improves upon acquaintance. The interest of it is, it is true, rather slowly worked up, at the outset; but, when once the author has fairly warmed to his work, it increases and increases as by a regular crescendo. The scene of the story, it should also be said, is very various ; extending over many picturesque localities in the West—of Ireland ! Traversing a good part of Connaught— often catching bold resounding glimpses of the wild Atlantic ! Crossing St. George's Channel the author, wanders at will, as one familiar with the scenes depicted there, into that Garden of England, Kent : or again into the streets of Lon don, as in another portion of his narrative he has borne us away with him along the almost equally well-remembered streets of Dublin. Crossing the British Cnannel, moreover, at another time, we are with him upon the trottoirs of Calais. The backwoods of America, at another interval in his story, being brilliantly, though rapidly and lightly pencilled off, namely, where Lloyd Pennant, the hero of tli.e tale, is hiding his griefs (under a mistaken sense of shame for his unhappy but perfectly innocent father, Squire thick) among the Red Indians and the White Canaaian population. Varied, however, and cleverly realised though the chequered scenes and localities are, over which the incidents of the plot are scattered with the easy hand of a master by Ralph Neville—they are as nothing, either in diversity or in vividness of realisation, to the characters introduced to the reader's intimate knowledge in the course of the narrative. Although Lloyd Pennant is himself, like so many other hand some gallant young heroes of romance, little more than a better sort of a walking gentleman—he is recognisable throughout as a fine fellow, never theless. But, around him are living and moving in the mimic world of his romantic history, a delight ful variety of admirably well-drawn characters ! Many of these, if we mistake not, are from the life. Take, for instance, that wonderful woman, the wife of Captain Jack O'Mahony ! Here is the very silhouette of her : "Mrs. O I MAHONY stood before the hall door, waiting to receive, and delighted to see, her visitors ; she was dressed in a style so simple as to border on slovenliness, although her personal appearance was by no means so prepossessing as to counterbalance the deficiency of her toilette. The good lady piqued herself on the plainness of her face as well as the simplicity of her costume, and her family pride led her to suppose that her station in society enabled her to dispense with the all-improving adjuncts of ornaments and dress. None of her features were regular or well formed ; but there was the eye, flashing with natural wit, and ex pressive of no ordinary capacity, fine teeth, and splendid hair, which, even at her advanced period of life, still re tained its glossy blackness, with a short retrousse' nose, adding considerably to the drollery of her face when she indulged in a rather coarse style of humour, which those who were not its victims always considered as extremely amusing. Her temper was jealous, and fickle ; she would go any length to assist a friend in distress, and would quarrel with the same person in prosperity for tho slightest, or no cause at all ; her hospitality and generosity made her generally popular, but the unceasing perseverance with which she sought out family secrets, and the merciless manner in which she sometimes made use of her informs dun, rendered her the terror of her acquaintances as were I unfortunate enough to have blots upon their escutcheons, or rather branches on their genealogical tree." It is of her that we read in an earlier page— " The second marriage of Mrs. O'Mahony was not a happy one, for her present husband possessed a very susceptible heart, and had unfortunately made proposals of marriage, backed by vows of eternal fidelity, to various ladies in the different English towns at which he had been quartered, some of whom hastened, after he had secured the wealthy widow, to seek consolation for the loss of his love in the substantial recompense of damages for breach of promise of marriage ; so that after their union his astonished wife found herself assailed on all sides by her less fortunate rivals." Besides Mrs. O'Mahony and Captain Jack, who do we not have here in this " ower true" histozy of the Days of the Irish Insurrection? Besides historical charac ters like Lord Edward Fitzgerald, and Roche, and Grouchy, and other somewhat minor celebrities— Judge Blatherwell, and Pincher Martin, and Rory Mahon the fosterer, and Roddy the Idiot, and Johnson the sailor, and Mr. Sharp the agent, and Lady Cifton, and her obese butler, Mr. Bush, aLd Tim Nolan (in his way a fellow lo Mickey Free, or to Cross Corney), and—best of all —the home group of those true. born Irish gentlemen and ladies ! As a specimen of a noble gentleman, indeed, commend us to Colonel Blake. And as a specimen of a refined and charming lady, commend us again to his fair niece, Miss Bingham. Not but what Master Mike gets nearer to our affections somehow than either of them ! It is only fair however, that we should give something more here, by way of affording our readers a taste of Ralph Neville's quality as—what every true Irish novelist ong,ht to be, needs must be, in truth, to be of any worth at all—a racy humourist ! As a bit of Cockney Fun, what can be droller, nay, for that matter, what can be more irresistibly ludicrous and laughter-provoking, than +212, the subjoined introduction of that fat, little rosy-faced personage—one whom Keeley would look to the very T—ycleped— SKITTLES.

At length the carriage drew suddenly up and both m IIs simultaneously tapped the window at Father Ste ppe back, who instantly let it down. ad ' Beg your reverence's pardon,' said Jack, turning roU and stooping forward towards the window—Moore asss3ll7 a similar position—' I jist want to say a word to the 131. tress.' ' Drive on you devil,' shouted Mrs. O'Mahony.'
