In front of Netley Hospital it has been determined to place a cross, and the Prince laid the foundation stone. It has certainly taken a long time for the authorities to determine what form their offering of respect for the memory of the brave should assume, and in what spot it should be placed. However, better late than never is a true adage, and so it may prove on the present occasion. It must be a source of satisfaction to the surviving members of the families of those who perished nobly in that unhappy struggle to witness that after this lapse of years so distinguished a tribute should be paid to them. Most disgraceful as the entire management of the (.3rimean warfare was disastrous to the well• being of the army, and prejudicial to the reputation of all authorities at home and abroad, still there rests no shadow on the spotless fame of those who maintained the honour of England on those battle fields. Indeed in some respects the army had more to encounter than if the conduct cf affairs had been more wisely arranged. Hardships and privations not often encountered in the wars of modern times were borne by our troops, and for their constancy and de•rotion, not less than their courage and zeal in combat, they deserve the recognition of their country =en. Under a clever general, and with wise pr ecautions, the men who went up the heights of Alma and made the charge at Balaklava would have achieved deeds as famous as any that have crowned with honour and renown the armies of England. The Prince of WALES has shown his usual good taste and discernment in coming for ward t o assist at this undertaking, and though scale time has been allowed to elapse since the cccasio 1 of the services here celebrated took place; the vii ae and credit are the 8.?.1113 if the acknow iedgraa at has bean deferred. Lie PRINCE made a euitab:e, reply to the address presented to him, in which he speci a ll y the con rse of signalled with his approv:the site chosen for the erecti on o f the cress. Connected with the hospital there is a medi cal school for the instruction of those who are to go cut to distant lands to take charge of our troops, and therefore it is well that they should have before their eyes the testimony of how those who preceded them in the duties of medical officers to the army have fulfilled their tasks. There will be a series of arches forming a lower arcade in the memorial, and a number of tablets formed therein will contain the names of the army medical officers who fell during the whole time of the Crimean War. This is a very fitting tribute to b 3 paid to those of the pro- fession who so honourably distinguished themselves, and it is also a peculiarly appropriate place to fix upon for the offering of respect. It may invite and encourage others to go and do likewise. Oa the whole it must be considered as a successful attempt to honour the brave that has just been made at Miley, rand:other places might with good effect follow the example here set them. The air is rife with tumults, and we know not how soon we may be engaged in war ; but however much our adminie.. trators at home may have to learn in the way of providing for the comfort of the troops, and what ever deficiencies our generals and commanders may have to rectify the general conduct of the army need not be charged, for no soldiers could have ex hibited more honourable zeal and praiseworthy en durance than those who fought and fell on the Crimean plains. The British Arch cealogical Institute had a grand day on Saturday, when the excursion to Stratford on-Avon took place, It was an appropriate tour for them to take, and the expedition must have been most gratifying as well as deeply interesting. The visit to the church was particularly attractive, and some of the details of the affair will be welcome to those who may not be well informed on such sub. jects. The church is a collegiate as well as a Parochial one, and some parts are of great antiquity. The Vicar was asked concerning the re•colouring of the bust of SHAKSPERE, and stated that it had been done because they thought that, as much as possible, it should bear the " stamp and character of the day in which it was placed there." This seems a very good idea, and it would be well if in other parts the same feeling was more prevalent as to maintaining intact and inviolate the remains of past grandeurs and the trophies of a renowned antiquity. It is especially gratifying to reflect upon that aught appertaining to the memory of SHAK SPERE should be preserved as perfect as possible, so that visitors to the spot should carry away in their minds a proper notion of the time in which he lived and the peculiarities of the place he has henceforth made immortal. The Society could hardly have chosen a more interesting spot to con sider and examine, and this year it is very suitable that the visit should have taken place. Doubtless there was more real respect paid to the memory of the great departed in the quiet solemnity of the old church, and more real and right understanding of the motives which should influence his admirers, than amid all the confusion of the attempts at the memorials and meetings that took place this spring. The more tranquil the management of all ceremo nies connected with the memory of the departed the better, and it was in the excitement and dis cussion that took place in London and elsewhere relating to the fitting manner of conducting the memorials that the failure arose as muck as in any other way. Doubtless most of those who entered upon the affair really intended to do honour to the great bard, but they aimed at too much, and it may be questionei if the best way after all is not to meet together in calm and tranquillity amid the solemn shades and quiet retreats of his native place if we wish to do honour to our great poet. We should thus better appreciate the might and majesty of his works, and more fully understand the high purposes and pure intentions that charaoterised his life. The tea plantations of Assam were for same time among the best and most profitable specula tions which Englishmen were engaged in in India, and certainly from the general aspect of affairs in that country, and the rapid development of its re sources, there was little reason to apprehend any interference with their prosperity. The very anxiety of the Government, however, to still further assist their trade has tended to place them in a very awkward and uncertain position. On the principle of the old epitaph—" I was well, I wished to be better, and here I am," the efforts of the authorities to improve the trade with the neigh bouring province have rendered the Assam mer chants and traders liable to the disturbance and excitement of war. The desire to improve our trading relations with Bhootan was natural and reasonable, though it would certainly have been wise to have sounded the way a little firet. 'the whole people, from the rulers to the very lowest classes, manifested such vehement dislike to the idea of a treaty with the British, that it would surely not have been very difficult to ascere tain their sentiments on the matter before undertaking the expedition. When it was fully determined on it would still have been wiser to have proceeded there cautiously, to have sent an emissary first to discuss the subject, and afterwards a plenipotentiary fully empowered to come to actual terms and represent the Imperial Government. Further, when an expedition was to be despatched to storm a Court and a nation which really we knew little of, great care and judgment should have been exercised in the selec tion of the Envoy. Probably the Government thought it was only a mere affair of form, which needed no special characteristics, and ,with which any gentleman of ordinary courage, ability, and experience could deal. It is certain that had it beau known what treatment our English represen tative was to suffer at the hands of the Bhooteas, the Executive would have been as unwilling to de spatch Mr. EDEN on his errand as he would have been reluctant to undertake it. The Bhooteas had frequently made themselves disagreeable in minor ways, and our Assam planters have frequently com plained of the difficulties put in the way of their commerce with Bhootan, but no one dreamed of such presumption and want of civilisation as was manifested in the treatment experienced by the British Envoy. The failure of the expedition we all know; indeed it proved to be worse than a failure owing to Mr EDEN'S unfortunate signature of the treaty put before him by the Bhooteas. This treaty, which his persecutors substituted for the one he brought with him, ceded to the Bhooteas the whole province of Assam. After having done this the Bhooteas suffered him to depart, as indeed they would most probably have done in any case, being too well aware of what the consequences would be to them had they actually injured our Envoy. But they probably thought that this treaty which they extorted from Mr EDEN would give them a plea for troublesome interference, or perhaps ground for an invasion of Assam, when they felt inclined for war. In consequence of this awkward affair the Govern ment finds itself placed in a very awkward position, and i s apparently uncertai n ; w h at attitude to assume, waiting to see what the Bhooteas will do, and whe ther they will endeavour to enforce this preposterous agreement. The simplest way to deal with the matter would be to cut the gordian knot by dis solving the Treaty altogether. We can p ro t est against it either as being obtained by force, or on the ground of our Envoy having exceeded his in structions. It should be publicly declared null and void, and notice of this should be sent to Bhootan, taking care, at the same time, to express our indig nation at the treatment received by our Envoy who had gone on a pacific errand. It was easy for the Bhootans to refuse to enter into any such arrange ment as the one proposed to them, and Mr. EDEN had no troops to enforce their consent. It is absurd to hold such a treaty as serious; they might as well have forced him to sign a document ceding all Hindostan to the Bhootans or making over Calcutta to them. Because they have been kind enough to limit their claims to a State, whose proximity to them makes the possibility of their proceeding to extremities really annoying, and with whose trade they can seriously interfere, there is no reason that we 'should allow those claims for a moment. Of course the Government never dreamt of suffering them to enter Assam, but it would be well distinctly to deny the grounds on which they claim that right to do so. Instead of mar ceavring to obtain possession of the fictitious Treaty, it would be much better boldly to disclaim it at once. Supposing the Bhootans to be ignorant or infatuated enough to provoke hostilities, the matter will be nothing serious, since a brief passage at arms will probably subdue them, and already the Government has ordered up troops for the pro tection of Assam. But it is very much to be de sired that so ridiculous and unsatisfactory a war may be avoided, and that our countrymen in Assam, whose trade is flourishing, should be subjected to all this apprehension and annoyance. It is to be hoped that the matter may shortly be arranged, and that its unpleasant experience will for the future teach more caution to our authorities and more courage to their representatives. A Small Beginning. TO M. LESANCQUER, FIRST MERE: IN THE WAR-OFFICE. " Sir,—Quite a stranger in Paris, and having no ac, quaintances, it is only in you I can hope. The friendship you entertained for my father induces me to trust you will do something for me. In the remodelling of the corps, it seems to me that I am about to change regiment ; this grieves me in every point of view--whereas officers who follow me immediately would permute most willingly. I have a brother preparing for the corpE ; I have undertaken his education myself, and this I could not accomplish in another regiment. If the remodelled work had already ap peared, I would not importune you, for then I should have only to obey ; but in the present state of affairs I flitter myself that you will deign to interest yourself on my be half. I will preserve a grateful remembrance of your kind ness.—With respect, sir, your very humble and very obe dient servant, " BONAPARTE, Lieutenant in the Regiment of Laiere, " Auxonne, June 3, 1791," Another letter, which is addressed " to the Administra tors of Versailles," on the Ist September, 1; dl', is on behalf of his sister Marianne, whose guar: lan ha had be come—who was then houseless, bec7:use of the sudden suppression of the educational c..dtablishment of St. Louis, and in whose favour he claitned the twenty sous per league to which she was entitled, to carry her on her way to Ajaccio, her residential domicile.—Chamiers's Journal. NAPOLEON THE GREAT, IN 1811, TO THE THEN PREFECT OF THE SEINE, COUNT FROCHOT.— " The ground on which the Basilica of Notre Dame, the Hotel Dieu, and the Palais de Justice stands is sacred ground. Down with all the hovels that dishonour it. Let this wretched population who for ages past have suffered and died without ever issuing from this putrid atmosphere breathe at ease fresh air is another quarter on the confines or the city. Bring me a grander plan. Throw open an avenue without houses between the Church of Notre Dame and the Palais de Justice. Arrange it so that I shall be able to see from the Institute the old cathedral display its noble and beautiful architecture. I believe in Uod, Mr Prefect ; Ido not discuss feel him. I am Catholic in eyes as in heart. Protestantism produces thinkers, philo- sophers, and savans ; Catholicism generates heroes, poets, and artists. The people of Paris, whose intelligence is so quick, would soon tire of the cold, monotonous, and de nuded Protestant temples. They require the majesty of grand churches adorned with pictures and statues. It is there they feel what I feel, a vibration of the Divinity." NAPOLEON 111. ON " THE LIBERTY OF THE PRESS !" -- As very aptly quoted by the Paris Correspondent of the Times, who writes :—I cannot avoid quoting a short passage from a work I have often read with pleasure—" Considerations Politiques et Militaires sur la Suisse :"—Every citizen of a republic should desire to be free, but freedom is indeed a vain word if he cannot freely ex press his thoughts and opinions. If publicity meet with ob structions in one canton it removes its rights and benefits to another, and the canton which happened to exclude it would not be thereby secure from its criticism. The liberty of the press should be general. To the " Considerations" are prefixed the following :—I recommend to the indulgence of my readers these ref:lesions which I submit to their judgment. If, when speaking of Swiz2rland, I could not help thinking of France, I hope that my digression will be pardoned, for the interest I feel for a free people only quickens my love for my own country. The date affixed to the work is July 6, 1833, and the author of it is Prince Louis Napoleon, now Emperor of the French. (tEuvres du Napoleon 111,, tome xi, page 352.) CASTEL GANDOLFO.—This place, where the Pope is at the present moment staying, is situate at 11 miles from Rome, and since the reign of Urbain VIII. has been the favourite country residence of the Pontiffs. From the elevation of the site the air is excellent, and the vie w of the Mediterranean extends from the Circe promontory to Civita Vecchia. The lake is celebrated in Roman history; Plutarch gives details of the piercing of Mount Albano for obtaining a supply of its waters, and the Roman aqueduct may still be seen iLtact after a lapse of 2,000 years. Domi tian had naval battles represented on the lake, and added the sumptuous-villa which now belongs to the Barberini family. Constantine is believed to have given the lake to the Church of St. John the Baptist which he had erected at Albano. A pleasant villa appears to have existed there in the middle ages for the emperors when they came to Rome. Later, the chronicles mention a fortress Arx Gandulphi on the shores of the lake. A family of that name existed at Rome in the 12th and 13th cen►uries. An 0 tlao Gandolphe was senator of .tome in 1123. The fortress afterwards became the property of Savelli; the lake then belonged to the Abbey of Grottaferrata. The celebrated Cardinal Mezzarota built the town of Castel Gandolfo with the remains of ancient Alba. Pine 11., in his commentaries, speaks wi:h admiration cf the panorama of Castel Gandolfo, of which the hills, in the form of an amphitheatre, formed an enchanting spectacle. Sixtus V. raised Castel Gandolfo into a duchy for Bernardin Savelli, the Apostolic Chamber having paid 150,000 crowns to the creditors of that family. Clement VIII., by the consistorial decree of 1604, incorpo rated Castel Gandolfo with the temporal demesne of the Holy See, and included it expressly in the bull of Pius V. de non infeudandis bonis Beelesice. Nothing shows that Clement VIII. ever thought of Castel Gandolfo as a country seat. Paul V., who rendered the country more salubrious by draining the Lake of Tomo, had the cele brated Villa Mondragone erected at Frascati. It was re served for Urban VIII. to definitively choose Castel Gan dolfo. He had the palace bui:t and the garden laid out, and opened the shady roads which lead to Albano and the convent of the Capucines, He went there every year, and a large number of his bulls are dated from that place — among others the bull for the erection of the Vatican Col lege. Alexander V. enlarged and completed the Pontifical Palace, constructed the exterior wall as a defence, and built the parish church dedicated to St. Thomas of Villeneuve. Clement XI., Benedict XIV., and Clement XIV., each showed a special predilection for Castel Gandolfo, which residence was also recommended to them by their physi cians. In 1802 the Apostolic Chamber sold the lake to Prince Poniatowski. The water, as is well known, contains excellent eels.— Galignanti's Messenger. DEFENCE OF CANADA,—Mr Adderley told the House of Commons that the Volunteer force of Canada consists of 35,000 men, having been raised under recent Acts from 6,000; and further, that this force is dis tributed as follows :-15,000 in the western, 5,000 in the central, and 15,000 in the eastern districts ; but that, sad to say, this force has only six days' drill per year. Now, may we ask Mr Adderley whence he got his information ? Gladly, if we could, would we persuade ourselves that this estimate of our only real force was correct ; sorrowfully do we feel compelled to lay bare the facts of the case. In 1861, when, with one accord, at a time of danger, the manhood of the country came forward clamouring far arms and organization, the active or volunteer force was raised to a real strength of about 18,000 to 20,000 men, who were divided into com panies and battalions throughout the province. As the im mediate danger died away, so died away the remembrance of the promises made by the Legislature for its support; and gradually also, as they found themselves unremunerated for their weekly drills, in many cases unpaid for the uni forms they had provided, or only partially so, the men of the Volunteer Militia force gradually left the ranks, until at the present time, so far from having an increased force, we feel sure that, if the real truth were known, the skeleton of our embodied force would not in both the western and eastern districts, which form our military divisions (the central one we never heard of except from Mr Adderley), amount to 10,000 available men all told. And with the exception of a few battalions, which through the personal (florts of their officers still maintain a high state of efficiency, we may, unless justice is done to it by Government, consider the volunteer militia of our country as nothing more than the nucleus of an organisation, to be fallen back on should danger again threaten. But it really drills on an average about 50 days in the year, instead of six, as asserted by Mr Adderley. We are not at the present time going to enter into the merits of the question, or to show how our Houses of Legislature, equally balanced, and torn to pieces by party faction, have neglected the defences of our country, but we do think it right to enter a protest against such a wild statement concerning our volunteer militia as that of Mr Adderley's, destitute as it was of even a basis of truth, from being accepted as a correct return of its strength.- 24/10(4 qqzfeeft LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

[REUTER'S EXPRESS.] ATHENS, July 23. It was not thought likely that the Assembly would meet again before new blood had been infused into it by the arrival of the lonian members. The day before yesterday, however, the committee charged to report upon the bill for pensioning the survivors of the war of independence from 18214829, desired a meeting in the interest of this handful of aged patriots. The house met yesterday, but the bill was, after all, postponed. The matter next taken in hand was the appointment of a uhief of the National Guard. It will be recollected that the Assembly had determined that the effieers of this force should elect a candidate, who was to receive the royal sanction. It appeared that this decision had not been laid before the King for Signature, being, in point of fact, really an i n f r ingement of the prerogative. Notvvithstaeding the protests of se veral members, who were anxious to point out that his Majesty had the right of veto, the Assembly fixed a period of three days within which the bill was to be submitted for signature, or the Ministry, not doing so, should offer a n exp l an ation of its conduct. The Assembly then entered upon another matter, which led to a totally unexpected result, entailing, in fact, the resignation of the Ministry. A request for a suppl emen tary credit was b roug ht in by the Minister o f W a r to defr a y th e expen ses of a few additional gendarmes he had f o und it requis i t e to employ in repressing b r i gan d ag e daring the recent vacation. There was not the slighte st rea sonrefused, the to exp ec t that the cre dit wou ld be expenditure having been s l; g ht an d quite indispen sable to publ;c safety. Both parties in the C hamber, however, regarded the affair in a different light to that of the Government. The Minister of War was accused of having acted unconstitutionally, and after almost unanimously re j ec ti ng the credit ( 20 votes only being recorded i n it s f av our), both parties united in reproachi ng t h e G overn ment f" the fault. afterwards the Ministry Two hours resigned in a body. Who will be th e i mme di a t e su ccessor of M. Balbi partisans is one it would be vai n to hazar d a gu ess. The general feeling of all but p ass i onate po litical of regret, not for the downfall of this particular Cabinet, but that the inevitable modification was not delayed until the arrival of the lonian members. It is believed now that this will take place upon the 27th. At present they are all assembled at Zante, under the presidency of AL Lombardo, to come to an understanding upon the line they shall adopt in the Assembly, when both parties—Mountain and Plain—hope to attract the new recruits to their banners. It i s h ar dl y to b e expected that the entire 84 will act stri c tl y toget h e r. Some ten or a dozen will probably j o i n t h e Opposition, the remainder going over to the Mountain under the lead of Canaris. It is w ith thi s h o pe indeed that the Moun tain' party intends to propose Admiral Canaria as President of th e A ssem bly, while the Opposition is reported to be about to put forward Buigaris. More importance is attached to this matter than meets the eye, for the President elect, as chief of the majority, will be caled upon to construct the new Cabinet.

LITERATIME, Can You Porgive Per 13y Anthony Trollope. No. VIII. Chapman and Hall. Unless the drift of the whole story changes won derfully in the subsequent instalments of it, we feel perfectly persuaded that we can't I That is, of course, that we can't possibly forgive her—this jilting, nonchalant, she-would-and-she-wouldn't heroine, Alice Vavasor. Already the reader has been made acquainted with her causeless and en• tirely heartless throwing over of excellent, hand some Mr Grey of Nethercoats. And now, in this fresh instalment of the narrative, he, the reader, learns with yet greater disgust of her absurd taking up again with her worldly, ugly, sear-faced cousin, George Vavasor. In the number before us there are two soi distant ove.letters—one from George to Alice the other from Alice to George. And of the two we really don't know which we like the least. They are simply odious and entirely intolerable. Another character that we have heard a good deal about in the previous chapters, but that we had not, until this portion of the story appeared, mado acquaintance with, is here introduced to our notice—meaning the ultra handsome and, we were going to add, utterly worthless, Burgo Fitzgerald. Utterly worthless he is here, however, shown not to be—and as to his beauty being, as we have said just simply ultra handsome, does not the author himself speak of Burgo's face as Godlike P the effect of it is such upon people of all classes and conditions, cabmen, potboys, bar-women, and men dicants, that we are reminded by it of that hand some schoolfellow of. Leigh Hunt's (was it not ?) of whom the humorous essayist used to relate with so much gusto the anecdote of the comely blue-coat boy upsetting an old applewoman's tray of fruit and nuts at a street corner, and being greeted for his clumsiness with—" Where are you driving to, you stupid, blundering, good for nothing"—(and then on the applewoman's chancing to catch sight of his face)—" beautiful creature, God bless you !" Just thns is it with the Burgo Fitzgerald of Anthony Trollope's new fiction—a fiction care lessly though prettily illustrated by " Phiz," the once matchless illustrator of Bcz and Harry Lorrequer. NAMES OF THE STREETS OF THE METROPOLIS.— In a pamphlet form (pp. 82), numbered as 153 among the Metropolitan Board of Works' publica tions, we have here some very interesting Returns (ordered to be printed May 6, 1864), giving us the names of those streets in the metropolis which have been regulated by order of the Board since 1855. These returns include lists of new streets named, of old streets renamed and houses renumbered, as well as of streets whose names have been altogether abolished. So far all this is excellent in the way of simplification. But—if, as is certainly the case, " much has been done," yet " more remains to do" of exactly the same kind in all parts of the metropolis I As may very readily be recognized at a casual glance upon anyone's examination either of a map of London,or of any portion you please of the street ncitnenclature of the metropolis as given of that particular depart ment of the last issue of the Post• oface London Directory. HOME OF HOPE,—Fourth Report. Another pamphlet, this time it is one of 62 pages, is here submitted to us—but it is a pamphlet not simply interesting like the one last mentioned—it is in the highest degree solemnizing and impressive. It con tains within it the Fourth Report of the Committee, whu have undertaken the furtherance of the humane design out of which has sprung the philanthropic institution now for some time past established under the name of the Home of Hope, at 6, Regent-square, Gray's Inn-road—a benevolent institution designed for the restoration, or at any rate for the attempted restoration of fallen and for the protection of friendless young women. From the latest report of the proceedings of the particular asso ciation having in view, here, this doubly bene ficent object, it would seem that at the least un admirable commencement has been made, with a view to the mitigation of some among the almost iLcalculeble, horrors arising out of what is spoken of amongst us significantly as the Social Evil, At the best, however, the work already done, and still . doing, to this end, in con. nection with the Home of Hope, has been under taken by the large hearted members of this com mittee so very recently, that it could by no pos sibility be, yet awhile, anything more thana mere commencement. 2lais, ce West que le pre mier pas qua coute in regard to these most benign projects. Bat, that first step having in this instanoe happily been taken, as we have hereby already seen and notified, may we not reasonably conclude that the design of its promoters will henceforth, as it deserves to do, advance and prosper ? To ensure this, the very first consideration is, of course, for the public at large themselves to make certain by their own acts that the funds planed at the disposal of the committee shall more and nacre rapidly con tinue to increase and multiply. Mr Roinford's Hounds. Part IV. By the Author of " Handley Croas." Mr Romford, in company with his newly. created sister, arrives at Reldon Hall, and is duly installed in that ancient mansion, and although the new lodger or lessee is rather overcome by its greatness, not so is Mrs Somerville, late Mrs Sponge, neeAmy Glitters, whose mind grows colossal in proportion to her prospects, and she enacts the fine lady with readiness and tact. The doubts and perplexities of Mr Romford at the anticipated expenses which his new residence will entail upon him are humorously depicted, but it is rather straining a point to make a man of even his consummate assurance and ef f rontery send for a blacksmith to pick the lock of the owner's wins cellar; however, novel writers are privileged now•a-days, and one must keep pace with the age. Many new characters are introduced, so that there is no likelihood of there being any lack of incidents in the succeeding numbers. Among others, the portraits of the Giant Game keeper, and the omnibus driver, Independent Jinimey, are depicted in a style peculiar to the author. DALZIEL'S ILLUSTRATED GOLDSMITH brings us this month,with the magazines,thesixth instalment. In it, besides other pcetieal pieces, are those two delicious jeux d'esprit, " The Haucch of Venison" and " Retaliation." Each of these humorous poems being excellently well illustrated. In the former, Oliver himself is shown to us wrapt in admiring contemplation of the haunch just arrived from Lord Clare ! In the latter, that is in " Retaliation," we see him seated at the club-table in the midst of that glorious group of friends whom he sketches off eo inimitably in that delightful composition. DALSIEL'S ILLUSTRATED " ARABIAN NIGHTS ENTERTAINMENTS."—A serial edition of . that great work, still as magnificently illustrated as ever in this eighth instalment of it I Here it reveals to us in a succession of admirable woodcuts, Schemselnihar and the Jeweller, the Birth of Camaralzaman, the Sultan entreating Fatima to induce Camaralzaman to marry, the Slave presenting himself before King Schahzaman, and other equally wonderful person ages. When the book is completed, it will be, among cheap works of the kind, what Harvey's still remains among the costlier—that is, the ne plus ultra. The United Service Magazine. The United Service opens with an interesting histcry of Greenwich Hospital. After giving an account of its foundation and construction, the writer discourses on the various phases of its government from the completion in the reign of Queen Anne to the present time, when the form of its administration and the direction of its finances are in a state of transition. That the recommen dations of the Royal Commissioners appointed to inquire into the management of this national insti tution will be promptly responded to by the Board of Admiralty cannot be doubted. The Duke of Somerset, indeed, goes even further than the Com missioners in the alterationa and improvements which he contemplates, and foremost among these is a change in the aboard double terra of goNern ment—viz., bono acivil and a milita r y one. " Curiosities of Naval Literm:ure" are continued, and contain some amusing descriptionb - . " A Sketch of Jungle Life' s gives an account of an 11.." l ia n sporting tour. " Four Yeara on the Gold Coast," by Capt. Matthews, sth Fusiliers, is as interesting in the instalment before us as in the preceding chapters. The writer has evidently been very observant during his sojourn on that fiery coast ; his descriptions of the products, both mineral and vegetable, and of the natural history, and of the customs of the inhabitants, are well worthy of attention. Capt. W. W. Knollys' tale of Oswald Hastings" is continued, and possGsses its usual amount of interest. The history of the experiments at Shoeburyness is duly carried on ; and among the remaining papers we find a review of the condition of Russia and Poland, a narrative of the campaign in Schleswig-Holstein, and a paper on the means of acquiring a correct eye in strategy. The American War,--•The Views of the South, We copy the following from the Richmond lVhig of the 17th June ;—The people of the South are by this time pretty well rid of the notable delusion of foreign intervention which for a time hampered their energies and palsied their efforts. They had a right, its the beginning, to suppose that European Governments would act towards them on the prin ciples which had previously been determined in cases similar to ours. They certainly had no reason to believe that under pretence of neutrality, Europe would depart frcm the well established rule in re gard to the recognition of tie facto Governments, and, in addition, decide against us every point which international law decides in our favour. But it very soon was made clear that foreign Governments had not the slightest intention of recognising us, much less intervening in our favour. M . sou might be treated like a lacquey in London, or Slidell received like a gentleman in Paris; it was all one so fares the Confederacy was concerned. Yet the delusion of recognition was cherished until we were forced tc abandon it from sheer weariness. Luckily for us, the subject, from having been a favourite, has be come a decided bore, and, being a bore, has been kicked ignominiously out of the circles where it was once most welcome. And we do not wonder at it. If Europe refuses to consider the Confederacy a de facto Government, Europe is clearly an CM or a cheat. If Europe cannot recognise a Government which for more than three years has carried on the most colossal war of modern times ; which raises and maintains armies of hundreds of thousands of men; which conducts its internal affairs with all the precision and regularity characteristic of the oldest nationalities; which has never been disturbed by social disorders or domestic insurrections; which exercises undisputed jurisdiction by the expressed will and consent of the inhabitants over a territory es large as half-a-dozen good sized European king doms, why, then, Europe must either be stone blind or quite unwilling to see. And to this opinion our people, fortunately, have come at last. But there is another delusion which may do just as much harm if it is not thoroughly dispelled from the public mind—a delusion which is all the more dangerous because it may have a still greater effect in modifying our opinions and mitigating cur efforts. This delusion is based on the fallacy that there is a party in the North intrinsically favourable to us, and that this party may, in some unexplained and inexplicable way, obtain the ascendancy at Washington, and make peace with the confederacy. This idea, whether sincerely held by true patriots, as in Georgia, or used for purposes of deception and fraud, as in North Carolina, becomes extremely dangerous and threatens disastrous consequences whenever it forms the groundwork of a political organisation. Since the idea itself is purely spec ulative, it can have no practical bearing on our affairs except in being used for the development of a complimentary sentiment among ourselves. And this is the tendency it has assumed, It is an easy matter for people holding these views to call them= selves peace men, and the natural result is the formation of what is called a peace party. the success of such a party would exhibit its danger and its delusiveness precisely whe❑ it would be too late to remedy the evils which would thus be en gendered. Nobody in the Confederacy is in favour of war simply for the love of war itself; but, really, only as the directest road to the waif peace we can accept. Hence, when people call themselves peace men per ce, or in contradistinction to war men, they will soon come to believe war is in itself un necessary, and they will finally oppose the very objects for which it is waged. Such consequences must be averted at all hazards, We do not at all believe they will ensue, but in order to make sure of avoiding them, it is necessary to rid ourselves of the primary delusion, out of which they might ulti mately spring. The greatest delusion is, as we have said, that there is a party in the North intrinsically friendly to our cause. There is no such party, It is, in the very nature of things, an impossible party. There are probably in the North many persons who sympathise with the South — others who desire our success; others who would be willing, under any circumstances, to tolerate our independence; but all of these together do not and cannot constitute a party sufficiently strong to obtain possession of the Government now or at any future time. When we say this we do not by any means say that a peace party may not arise in the North; perhaps far sooner than many people anticipate. But a peace party is not necessarily a friendly party. On the contrary, every one can see that, in order to become dominant, such a party must embrace a large number of persons who are hostile to us. The question to be solved, then, is not how many friends we have in the North, or how soon a friendly party will come into power at Washington; but how can we best succeed in forcing our enemies into the ranks of the peace party? Those who are now peace men would become war men to-morrow if they thought that war would result in the restoration of the union. Nothing tended so much at first to stimulate the apparently univer sal war feeling against the South as the delusion that there was still a large Union party in the Confederacy, and that a vigorous, though then suppressed, Union sentiment would be developed by the presence of the Federal armies. it was only when this delusion was dispelled that the elements of a peace party became discernible. It is only when this delusion is dispelled that a restoration of the Union is prac ticable, and that the conquest of the South is impossible, that a peace party will have a chance of success. As to who will constitute that party that depends entirely on who first arrives at these conclusions. At present parties pro fess to be guided in regard to them. A large number of Democrats, who declare conquest to be impracticable, yet assert reunion to be possible. They cherish the delusion that by calling the war a war for the union and the consti tution, instead of a war for conquest and subjugatien, the South will be ready to submit to them. They totally ignore the fact that it was precisely the union of which the South was determined to rid herself. The Black Republicans, more logical perhaps than the Democrats, admit the impos sibility of restoring the Union, but declare out and out for subjugation and extermination, if necessary, for the accom plishment of their purposes. The number of persons who have thus far admitted the impossibility of conquest, and impracticabilty of reunion, is very mall. Should the so called peace party in the South unfortunately exhibit any indications of strength, the number would soon become so extremely small as to disappear totally from the political horizon. In order that it may be increased to so great a degree as to render it an effective agent for the restoration of peace on the basis of Southern independence, a majority of the Northern people must be convinced that it is out of their power either to restore the Union or to subjugate the South. The Black Republicans, or, at least, a portion of them, must be forced to relinquish their dreams of conquest —and the Democrats must be compelled to abandon their schemes of reunion. There is but one way in which this can be accomplished, and that way is at cur command. We must strive with all the earnestness of conviction and all the tenacity of inflexible resolution. We must show the Yankees that what mean by peace is synonymous with in dependence—and we must convince them that we cannot be cajoled into reunion of driven to submission. We must get rid of the delusion that there is any party in the North friendly to our cause, and convince our own people that to talk of peace attainable in any ether way than by a vigor ous and resolute resistance is to propose a surrender of our rights and our liberties to the enemy. When we have suc ceeded in convincing the Yankees of these facts, it will be a matter of little consequence to us who is President of the United States, who resides in the White House, or what party has a majority in Congress, It is true that the Democrats seem to be more open to conviction than their adversaries—but we shall have no permanent peace until it is thoroughly beaten into both parties.

The Streets of London Last evening Mr Vining produced, at this theatre, Alr* Boucicault's adaptation of French drama, " Les Pauvrea de Paris," under the title of "The Streets of London.' The piece, as most play-goers are aware, has been repre sented in Manchester, Liverpool, Glasgow, &c., &c., at all of which places it has been arranged so as to apply, by title at all events, to the streets of the particular locality-- but although the success of the piece, wherever it was performed, was a complete success, its representatio n in the metropolis has been deferred until the present coca' eion. The drama has been well written up, and notwith standing that Mr Stirling Coyne furnished one adaptation of the piece to the managers of the Surrey Theatre, where it was produced in 'b7, entitled, "Fraud and its Victims," an d that Mr B. Barnett had also grounded a comediette• " pride and Poverty," produced at the Strand Theatre some time since on the same subject, it " went" last ever ing at the Princess's as well as the most sanguine manage r could desire. " The Streets of London" is in three acts, with a prologue., The curtain rises and discovers the offices of " Crawley and C 0,," bankers, Moorgate - stre et, City, where we become at once acquainted with the post' tion of the firm. Crawley has ruined himself by over speculation in the railway market, and, as recovery seems hopeless, he hi preparing to abscond to America wi th such moneys as ho can possibly collect together. Se imagines the state of his affairs is known only to hit:vau lt " but in this he is deceived, for his book—keeper, Badger, has long been a keen observer of his actions, and kno ws exactly how matters stand. He refuses to allow Craw ley to escape without he is " squared," and whilst the rogues are arranging matters, Capt. Fairweather enters and leaves in 1 he hands of Crawley £20,000, the result of a life-long struggle, for investment for the benefit of his two children. The seaman receives a receipt for the money and departs, but in a few minutes he returns, having in the interim heard rumours of the insolvency of " the house." He is all e%- citement, and demands the return of his money, but while it is being handed over to him he is seized with apoplexy and expires. Crawley now determines to appropriate the £20,000 to himself, and finding Badger is not at all indis posed to participate in the fraud, he gives him £2,000, and then Badger arranges that the body of the captain shall be quietly conveyed into a court at the back of the office, in order that it may be imagined that the unfortunate man had suddenly died in the street. This is done. All sus picion is removed. Crawley gives up his idea of flight, but Badger, not wishing to give a chance away, departs • for California, having taken care to secure the receipt Crawley had given to the captain as an acknow ledgment for the money. A period of fifteen years is supposed to elapse between the prologue, and the dram a commences. The story of this part of the piece is so on told. Crawley succeeds in his speculations, and beca me possessed of an immense fortune, whilst the two child ren of the captain became famished and almost house less wanderers in the streets of London. Badger returns f rom California penniless, but, hearing of the success of Crawl e y , he obtains an interview with him, and then, to the sor row of the banker, he learns that he is in the po wer Of Badger as long as lie keeps possession of the fatal b it of paper. The banker tries various stratagems to ob tain the receipt, but all his efforts fail, and he at 113 ' 4 comes to the determination of purchasing the house in which Badger lodges, and, having done so he sets fire to the building, hoping by that means to destroy the dace eing proof of his guilt. Tais act also fails, and then comes the climax. Through the instrumentality of B a dger the °ill : dren of the captain are discovered ; they, of course, b ec° 7 l; - rich, and the banker ruined and disgraced, with the tion of something still more terrible, viz., a callous, unduti ful, and revengeful daughter. The drama, it will be at once admitted, belongs to that class so popular " t'othe r side o' the water;" but though some years ago the produe tion of such a piece at the aristocratic Princess's would have been looked upon as an error of management, yet We live in an age of surprises and change, and hundreds who would have then condemned the play at the period W e mention will now assuredly be found among its most en thusiastic admirers, because it possesses within it a rea l and genuine sensation. The great tableau of the dra ma oecurs in the last act. The vivid portrayal of th e horrors of a conflagration in one of the close and thiek l y peopled courts of London, with the excitement ay. sequent upon its discovery, the bursting of the flaw e ' l through the windows, the awakening of the sleeping neigh' bourn, their efforts to save their household treasures, the gathering of a great and tumultuous crowd, the rapi d arrival of the brigade with their engine (a regula r built " Alerryweather." drawn by real horses), the helter skelter to get the machine to work, and, finally, the dis charge of the combating element upon the burning and blazing rafters, has been reserved for Mr Vining and hie band of clever coadjutors, and never has a mimic scene s e closely resemLled the terrible reality. Fear to soni e esieet topli possession of the audience ; and it was not until l‘if Vining led forth the artist, Mr Lloyd, that all could fairly make themselves satisfied that there was no real cause fel alarm. The applause was so immense, that ba been possible we think that the audience would ieJ demanded a second sight of "the great effect."
