LONDON, TUESDAY, NOV. 17, 1863. To-day the Court Martial upon Colonel CRAWLEY begins at Aldershott. Upon the proceedings con nected with this remarkable investigation the attention of all England will now, for some time to come, be fixed very carefully, searchingly, and continuously. We refer to the Court Martial here trot with any intention of prejudgin g th e case now about to be sift e d b e f ore an aut h or i tat i ve profes sional tribunal. We allude to it simply in order that we rho _may at least be aff or d e d th e o pp or t un it y w e'ver briefly we may avail ourselves of it) the surely etr:dowab,le opportunity of expressing an to-day, nut _ "Pa that the trial begun than in e,, Y er3 !) t rzv e in its result, no less and con,. ing else connected with it, signally Heaven's /lame, look in an exception.

They are rou tine yerdict arriv e d at tit° death a l mos t, a t th at the upshot of inquiries of this kind—" (formu/ a y, CHARLES READS rootsiuddenly iterated calls it in his odd, curt way, i s u parentheses—that wretched these grand invari ably arrived at hitherto—at the tail e t i :v t it . , that orunium-gatheram investigations__tu o " It's very bad indeed, but that Nobody Of all pieces of crass stupidity thi s is übout blame !" stupidest. And it is , be y ond that, s, th ie gives carte blanche to offenders —by reaso n of u invariable assuring to th em of complete immunit; There is something wonderfully beautiful, and j ust, and generous, no doubt, in that old axiom acted upon for centuries past in our system of jurisprudence, that constraining the law to regard every man as innocent until he is proved to be guilty. But to treat him as innocent afterwards, is nothing less than the conforming to a piece of official idiotcy. It is worse than that indeed. It is far worse than negatively wrong and bad. It is so, in the most signal and express manner, affirmatively. A Routine Verdict of the kind we have hitherto been so distractingly accustomed to, amounts to a sort of complicity or tconnivance. In the very feebleness of such a deci i there is something ab so l u t e ly despicable. What, in effect, is that old and grander axiom b y far, th an the one already particularised. Fiat astitia—it tells the whole world in thundering a cce nts - 55 with the voice of one of the Titans, as with the of s tmp SON when he stood stone blind amon g t h,,, I'hilisilnes in the banq ue tti ng h a ll acid began to grapple the I two pillars together— Piat justitia, not cceltinz, l though the pillar s of heaven itself should tr emble to their foundations like the realisation of SuELL • EY s phantasy about the water spouts— i‘ I see the black trunks of the Water spouts And bend as if heaven Were ruining spin, in let it be done, c ame whet com© let it be don.. —meaning Jcrsiice. lo have fri en d s in high places may be all well enough under ordinary cir canistances, But in the case where some grievous wrong has been perpetrated, the application of in fluence of that kind, becomes heinous to the last degree, becomes a participation in the infamy attaching to the wrong itself. Lord FERRERS, the miserable patrician, who, a hundred years ago or more, murdered his gardener, was allowed the privilege of being conveyed to Tyburn in his own carriage, and the addi tional privilege also of being hung with a silken rope! Privileges of that description perhaps we should hardly be disposed to cavil at. Let the criminal ride in his carriage, if he prefers it, but' whether in carriage or in tumbril, let him as surely find his way to his doom as the miserablest gaber lunzie in the land. Let him have his rope of silk or of bullion, if he wills it, in lieu of hemp, but, silken or hempen, let him halo it. And so with less heinous crimes or offences than those the very blackest of all. With regard to evil deeds of minor atrocity than actual murder or homicide—when distinctly brought home to an accused, when clearly demonstrated—let us not, in Heaven's name, have the offender shielded from blame, sheltered from punishment, what though he wears a plumed hat, a scarlet coat, and glittering epaulettes. The annual assemblies at Bristol in honour of COLSTON'S anniversary called forth, as usual, some expressions of opinion on the subjects of the day from the notabilities of the town. Prominent among these at the Liberal banquet was, of course, Mr. BERKELEY, the veteran champion of the ballot, and member for the city. The indisposition of which he complained rendered his speech probably shorter than it otherwise would have been, but brief as it was, he contrived to touch upon most of the pressing topics of the time. Mr. BERKELEY proclaims him self a supporter of the present Government, though we should hardly have anticipated such a declara tion from so staunch a reformer. He was forced to admit that Lord PALMERSTON'S Cabinet was open to objection on the score of reform, but he said, alluding to the agitated condition of the continent, that we had at the head of our Government—find what fault we might with him as a reformer— a man more likely to steer as clear through the troubles of Eurupe than any other man in exist ence. Whether such is the general opinion of the country may very safely be doubted. Lord PALMERSTON carries into his foreign policy the same half-hearted resolution, the same time-serving expediency that has swayed his course as a re former at home. Mr. BERKELEY is apparently thinking of the days when, as Foreign-Secretary, he won the well-deserved encomium from Earl RUSSELL, then head of her MAJESTY'S Govern ment, that he was not the Minister of France, of Russia, or of Austria, but of England. Lord PALMERSTON'S panegyrist of those days appears to have changed his mind as to the recommenda tions of our English Foreign Minister since he stepped into the same office. Our present chief of the Foreign-office might have bean called in turn the Minister of one or two other countries. The fascinations of Vienna exercised, at one time, a dangerous influence over his mind. The blan dishments of Prussia induced him to play the part of Germany in the contest with Denmark, while at the present time Mr. SEWARD may fairly claim him for a colleague in the cause of the Federals. With east and west alike disturbed and threaten ing, with great questions agitating the public mind in every corner of Europe and America, with China unsettled, and the clouds of war darkening over Japan, there are pro • bably few independent political observers who could accurately predicate the course which is to be fol lowed by our Government. The views they have condescended to enunciate are hazy and uncertain, the principles upon which they profess to act are not easy to understand. They feel great sympathy for the wrongs of Poland, but they give the Cabi net of St. Petersburg very plainly to understand that nothing will induce them to carry the expres sion of that sympathy beyond words. The Foreign Minister quietly intimates to Denmark that she had better surrender the rights she has been struggling to maintain for the last fifteen years ; the Premier declares in his place in Parliament that he considers the pretensions of Germany to be mainly inspired by the anxiety of Prussia to be come a naval power. All members of the Cabinet and all their supporters, however, are unanimous in one thing. They all loudly declare that they in tend to maintain a strict neutrality in the Ame rican contest. In fulfilment of this intention, they allow the departure of arms and ammunition direct North, while the Southerners may not receive an unarmed vessel through a third party ! This piece of inconsistency is too much for Mr. BERKELEY'S approval. " There are circumstances," he says, " attendant on neutrality, which I do not under stand. Why is it a breach of neutrality to let a ship go forth with a gun in her, and why is it not a breach of neutrality to send forth guns, swords, and gunpowder." This question might be found difficult to answer by Mr. ADAMS himself, and certainly requires some of Mr. GLADSTONE'S subtle and ingenuous logic to explain it. The neutrality of Earl RUSSELL, however, has lately gone a step further, and it now enables him to seize a vessel in a private English dockyard as yet unarmed and unfinished, and professedly ordered by a Frenchman. If the EMPEROR'S neutrality is less elastic than ours, and he does not see fit to forbid his subjects to undertake a commission from the Confederates, we do not see why we should trouble ourselves to take care that our neighbours are as sincere and disinterested in their non-inter vention principles as ourselves. The cheers with which Mr. BERKELEY'S few remarks upon this sub ject were received by an audience by no means unanimous in their sentiments on the American question, said a good deal for the provincial feeling en the subject, and we expect that Earl RUSSELL °r Lord PALMERSTON will find it an awk ward matte r t o me ddl e w ith t h e ex i st i ng neutra li ty 1 " s • Our cod e ma y nee d rev i s i on an d a l terat i on in t 1 0 ~ st atesm aa Ways than one, but in this particular it is be tter let e l elle at the present juucture, and so the Rlii prove w h o t r i es th e popu l ar f ee li ng on the Bllbie,t Coming to home questions , Mr. BERKELEY proclaimed his unchanging determina tion of advocatinga the and ood rep ort Ballot through evil report g , and deserved, b Ho regretted etion th a t was rece i ve d w i t h the warm approval which t that his old friend s n rethren in arms, Sir KING, should Jowl TRELAWNY and I\lr.

We are glad t o find Mr. BERKELEY still firm at his post, and wa _ quenched in spirit. We trust he may share the fate of Mr. VILLIERS and the Corn Laws, and one or two other politicians who, after valiantly fight ing an almost h o p e l es s battle, through of ridicule, opp os iti on , an d neglect, have lived to ' see the very reform s th e y f o ught for b ec ome the recognised principles of the day. All honour to Mr. BERKELEY for his stedfastness and his courage —only let him not trust too much to the foreign policy of Lord PALMERSTON, and the reforming spirit of Earl RUSSELL, else he may chance to find himself somewhat disagreeably surprised. The Emperor ALEXANDER seems determined to lose no opportunity of informing the world that his motives are humane, his intentions honest, and his general purpose that of benefiting all people and nations committed to his care. It is a pity that it is necessary for him to repeat himself so often ; but it is to be feared that, with all his trouble, his efforts will be fruitless, and his labour thrown away. In the present instance, he has written to his brother the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE, and this epistle almost exhausts the language of congratula tion for worthy efforts made, and cf commiseration for the consequences of over-exertion. Did not the words appear before one, it would be almost impose sible to give credence to these asseverations of lofty purposes, and these declarations of good intended to be wrought for Poland. Yet it is but too true ; and in these extravagant assertions we but see another scene of the drama enacted. Perhaps there is no sadder phase of the cold and cruel histcry that tyranny has writte❑ in letters of blood and fire for the nations to scan the wrongs of Poland than this pretence of kindness and affectation of bene volence. It is nearly as difficult to follow the argu ments as to comprehend the sentiments of this im perial communication ; but it would seem that the appointment of the Grand Duke was a pledge of amity and an earnest of grace to the distracted realm and agitated people of Poland. The selection of his own brother was a proof of the EMPEROR'S kindness that should have been at once appreciated, and the appropriate gratitude appertaining thereto testified by instant return to order, and complete restoration of authority on one side, and of obe dience on the other. We are now informed that to " the extreme affliction" of the EMPEROR, these " hopes have not been realised." Oa the other hand, it may be stated that the attractive agency of the thought, je ne suis pas la rose mais ai vecu pres d'ellc, did not possess sufficient spell to fulfil its destiny, because the original cha • racier was not admired or respected. The unhappy people only looked upon the near relative of the CZAR as an enemy of the deepest dye, an agent eager to carry out the wishes of his principal, an envoy burning with the fatal zeal inspired by a master whose cry was no quarter, and whose policy was to crush or conquer. After such a commence ment anything may be expected, but still it is a severe trial to the patience, and a tax on the reason, to pursue the course of inquiries in this direction any further. The institutions that were given for the benefit of Poland have failed, we are told by the Autocrat, from no fault or failure of the Go vernment, but because the country was untrue to itself and its interests, and listened to the voice of conspiracy and bent to the influence of intrigue abroad. It would be expecting too much to ask an imperial instructor to enter intu detail, or else it might have been of special service to have informed us to which particular institution for the benefit and blessing of benighted Poland the decree be longed that sanctioned the cruel severance of the ties of home, and uprooted with might and main the links that bind the patriot to his native land. It must have been very obtuse or infatuated on the part of the Poles not to have appreciated the good- W.ll that wasevidenced towards them in the attempt to convey their youths at night to the service of their SOVEREIGN in distant parts. The compli ments which the EMPEROR showers with a lavish hand on the career of his brother, as his Vicegerent in Poland, are of no circumscribed character, or limited extent. Perhaps there is only one statement that is strictly true i❑ the long catalogue of merits, and that is the ono which declares that the Grand Duke had always in view the interests of Russia. This is very likely, except that it may be questioned if it is really serving the interests of any country, great or small, to follow out a course of systematic cruelty and of deliberate oppression. Bad as the previous observations are in point of taste, and in reference to veracity, the concluding remarks seem to violate all ideas of consistency, and to ignore the moral responsibility that even Emperors ought to entertain with respect to notions of right and feel ings of reverence. After insulting common sense by mentioning that the Polish people had wilfully cast away the chance of favour of which the arrival of the EMPEROR'S brother was a pledge, the CZAR actually says that he hopes the Grand Duke will return to his duties, " when, with the aid of GOD, the revolt shall be subdued." It is dreadful to find a man so infatuated or so engrossed by selfish views as to deceive himself and confuse the minds of others by such specious pleas and such vain subterfuges. No war that has devastated kingdoms and laid waste countries—that has swept races out of exist ence, and turned a nation of freemen into a com munity of bondsmen—ever exceeded, and hardly equalled, in virulence or viciousness the conflict between the Russians and the Poles. These proud usurpers and exterminating warriors had better call to mind the lesson afforded them by the sacred allegory, in which the presence of the LORD came not in the fire or the whirlwind, but in the still small voice that spake afterwards. Finally, the EMPEROR trusts the precious health of his brother may ba restored, and invokes the blessing of leaven upon him, asserting that he confides himself " with unshaken firmness to His infinite mercy." We can hardly imagine that the EMPEROR considers the awful meaning of his words, or even he might well fear to adopt such language. The thought that is forcibly expressed in these lines— " The mercy I to others show, That mercy show to me," cannot be too often dwelt on, or too much taken to heart. It is evident, from the whole tone of the letter of the Emperor ALEXANDER, that no hope is to be entertained regarding the amelioration of Poland, and, therefore, on the departure of the Grand Duke, there is no doubt that the future policy of the Empire will be, if possible, still more arbitrary and aggressive, and strike out the last chance of the Russians retrieving the past by adopt ing a milder course, and allowing a more genial in fluence to animate their actions and direct their counsels.

(From the. Building News.) In relation to Newcastle-on-Tyne, Dr. Bruce, in his Handbook recently published, supplies us with a mass of information, deeply interesting, as show ing how completely the town has been renovated within the present century, and more especially within the past 30 years, dating chiefly, of course, from the time when Mr Richard Grainger began his gigantic building operations. The account given by Dr. Bruce of Mr. Grainger furnishes a striking ex ample of how genius, comparatively unaided by education, can make its way. The man who was emphatically the architectural regenerator of New castle, was the son of poor parents, and received his early education at a charity school. His parents only o ccup i e d t h e l o we r p art o f t h e house i n w hi c h he was born, a storey only 5 feet high. The boys of the school in which Grainger learnt his A B C wore bright green long - tailed coats and leather breeches, and no doubt Grainger wore them. He was simply a carpenter's apprentice, and enjoyed no advantages beyond those common to such a position. But he had ability, and (what is perhaps better) he was industrious and persevering. "His mind,'' says Dr. Bruce, " was a well-balanced one, and his temper calm. He was never in a hurry, never angry, never in an absent mood, and he never passed the humblest of his friends in the streets without noticing them." Grainger early became religious; and in addition to the natural gifts and graces already noted, he bad the good luck to find a wite to his mind with a fortune of £5,000. In this he was worldly-wise, and well exemplified the Quaker adage, " Marry the girl thee loves, but love the girl who has money." Grainger, it would seem, was at once carpenter, builder, and architect. A simple enumeration of what he did shows he was a man of great energy and industry. He built, in Newcastle, some of the houses of Higham-place, nearly the whole east side of Carlisle-street, the whole of Blackettestreet ex cept eight houses. Eldon-square, built of stone, is chiefly his work. Leazes-terrace, consisting of 70 large , houses, was built by him. He built the arcade opposite the cast end of 11losley-street ; and all this was done before he began those erections with which his name is chiefly associated. He built the Butcher and Green Markets, which together occupy an area of two acres, and of which 1)r. Bruce tells us that, as regards architectural features and convenience of arrangement, they are believed to be the finest in the kingdom. We can corroborate this testimony. Certainly they are vastly superior to anything of the kind in London. Grainger built the whole of Grey-street, the street bearing hi s own name, and Market-street, and the Central Exchange. In those streets, of which the architecture is greatly varied and excellent, the Theatre, the Bank of England, and Limbton's Bank (as it is now called, formerly the disastrous District Bank) are the chief buildings, and will long perpetuate a memory deservedly dear to his native town. In this colossal undertaking, in which it may be fearlessly asserted not one man in 10,000 would ever have engaged, Mr. Grainger planned and erected buildings within five years representing a value of about a million sterling, having in hie employment during that period nearly 2,000 mon. In this special view—been largely rebuilt within so short a period, and mainly by the energy of a single individual—Newcastle is, undoubtedly, the most remarkable town in the whole kingdom. Other towns have, no doubt, more rapidly increased in population and more extensively enlarged their area ; but it may well be doubted whether any town, either in this or any previous age, has been so completely transformed in so short a time and to so good a purpose by the magic masonry of a single man. Grainger, however, scarcely lived long enough to reap the advantages of his own great schemes and brilliant achievements. He built streets of palaces faster than the northern metro polis could manufacture the right kind of inhabi tants ; and for many years , with wealth in abundance under his eye and ou parchment, Le was comparatively poor. But it was the unspeakable happiness of this remarkable man to livelong enough to win universal respect and to die universally re gretted. And what ambition. we may ask, would not be satisfied with a life so worthy, an end so crowned with priceless honour LITERATURE, Janet's Home. Two Vols. Macmillan. Is it not Lamartine who has said that the history of every family is a poem ? Such is evidently the belief of the author of this new novel, as with a reverent and tender hand she has revealed to as the sacred joys and sorrows of Janet's Home. Never did a more charming family appear upon the canvas ; and most skilfully and felicitously have their characters been portrayed. Each individual of that fireside group is a finished portrait, distinct and lifelike. Janet Scott, the eldest daughter is the narrator of the history : and very simply, very naturally, and very delightfully has she fulfilled her task. Janet is not a beauty, like her chaining sister Ernestine, or Nesta as she is generally called ; neither has she Nesta's happy facility for homely and housewifely duties—that graceful gift with which some fair hands seem endowed by a fairy godmother. Very grievous are poor Janet's lamentations over her own shortcomings. She has, however, other merits with which the lapse of time makes us acquainted. But, before entering further into Janet's troubles, we must introduce the elder members of the family : My father was the head master of B— School, where my brothers were pupils. He was also professor of history at one of the London colleges; and the duties consequent on his position were so engrossing that, during the greater part of every day, and for three evenings of each week, Neste and I hardly saw him. Even when he was in the house, it was not his habit to address many words to any of U 9 children, or to appear as if he were in any way occu pied with our proceedings; and yet he was, more empha tically than any other person I ever saw, "the head of the house"—the one who occupied the chief place in the thoughts of every dweller in it, and who gave the character to the life lived there. In evidence of which good governance and " admo nition due," on the part of the father of the family, let us quote the following little scene; — After many changes of purpose, my mother fixed a day for going to see Rosamond Lester at Lady Helen Carr's house. It had been settled from the first that Charlie and Nesta were to accompany my mother on this occasion. Charlie, because there would have been no peace for any one if he had been left at home, and Neste, because my mother said she never made her nervous as I did. I was generally glad enough that Nesta should take my place when our mother visited her fL ienda, but my curiosity about the Carrs made me regret for once the effect my presence produced on my mother's visiting nerves. Nesta took my disappointment and the preference shown to herself very much to heart. Her sweet face looked so wistful when she came down, dressed, into the hall, that my father, who happened to be just turning into his den, noticed it, and paused, with a book under each arm, to observe us. "What is the matter with Charlie?" he asked, as the result of the scrutinizing glance he cast from one to another. There was nothing the matter with Charlie but a new neck. tie, with a crimson strips in it and fringed ends. My father, who was usually supposed not to know one article of dress from another, showed great curiosity about this, looking at it closely, and even touching it—while Charlie's cheeks rivalled the colour of the silk—and apologizing, finally, by remarking that it struck him, because he thought he had seen a thing like it before in a hairdresser's shop. Then turning round, he remarked, " Nesta looks pale. You do right to take her for a drive, But how is it that you are not ready, Janet? You ought not to keep your mother waiting." "Jaßet is not going," interposed my mother, rather nervously. " Why not ?" (in a low voice) " Janet is the elder." "Yes, I know; but indeed, my dear, it is easy enough for you to say Janet is the elder, but if you did but under stand the state my nerves are in, and the trial it is to me to see Janet's bonnet strings, you would be more considerate. It is quite too much for me to have to think of Janet's dress while I am paying a visit." " Janet is old enough to think of her own dress, and she will never learn to do it, if you don't accustom her to go out with you. She wore a bonnet on Sunday, I believe ;if it was fit to wear at church, it is fit for Lady Helen Care to see. Janet, go and put on your bonnet." The character of Janet's father is one of the hap piest delineations in the book. To be appreciated rightly, it must be studied as a whole, as it is here, tenderly and truthfully portrayed by his daughter's loving hand. The mother of the family is the graceful prototype of Neste, with a tender yearning for her Welshancestry ; for although a penniless orphan at the time of her marriage Mrs. Scott, as we learn, had been the only daughter of the wealthy owner of Morfa, a princely estate in Wales. "My mother loved talking as much as my father loved silence," says Janet, " and she had a singularly happy way of bringing the persons and things she described vividly before her auditors. Listening to her tales of her early days was better than reading a story book to me, fond as I was of story books." The Father and Mother are a perfect contrast, but each, in their different ways, most attractive. Now let us revert, however, to the children of the home. Janet has been assisting her mother in some household duties" before the sacred linen closet" when she is for the first time made, to a certain exient, the confident of her mother's cares. dINET'S RIDE AND PERPLEXITIES. I listened to all this, and to much more of the same kind with the vague feeling of elation that very young people have when their elders first talk to them on an equal tooting. When I was dismissed at last with the six Wynne dinner napkins to darn, I sat down to my work with the convic tion that I too, as well as Hilary, had taken a step forward in life that day. As I sat at the window, straining my eyes, weak-sighted like my father's, with most elaborately careful darning, I built a castle in the air, in which I saw myself the central figure of the family, the confidant of my mother, the guide of my worshipping sister, the helper of father and brothers, the mainspring of the house. I was to be very humble all the time, and people were to wonder at my goodness and usefulness. During the last darn, I settled that my personal appearance should prove by no means so plain as my mother Mrs. Wilton antici pated. Just as I had finished, Nests, who had been following my mother through the house, came in to help me to fold the napkins, and discovered that I had darned them on the right, or rather on the wrong side. I had taken extreme pains with the darning, and done it, as Nests affectionately pointed out, beautifully, but it had not occurred to me that it signified on which side of the cloth I put my work. It had, of course, all to Come out again, and I never shall forget the expression on my poor mother's face when she found us pulling far larger holes in her beloved damask than those I had originally offered to mend. For the mo ment, I think she despaired of me, and seriously in her heart wondered what bad end I should come to. I know I was thoroughly frightened about myself, and suffered for an hour or two such remorse as I have heard mur derers described as feeling. I sat all the afternoon in the window-seat, my eyes too much inflamed with crying to be capable of accomplishing any more fine darning; while Nesta sat at my feet, swiftly with her deft fingers repairing the mischief I had done. She was almost as full of re morse as I was. "It was all my fault, Janet," she said again and again. " I wonder how I could leave you for so long, when you had such difficult work to do. I ought to have run backwards and forwards between mamma and you, to look after you both. It was so very thoughtless of me. I might so easily have put the work into your hands the right way, and then youwould have done it beautifully; better than any one else could. You do everything beauti fully, dear, only you want me just to look after you a little at the beginning and at the end. Why should you cry about that, Janet? I shall always be near to do the little easy things that it would be a waste of time for you to do." Nesta's longing to be useful was certainly of a different kind from mine; it never occurred to her to make a pic ture about it. I allowed myself to be comforted at last by her praise and fondness, and the work was finished and put away. As the evening closed in, my mother joined us in the window, to watch for my father and brother's return from the schoolhouse. There i s a cause for their anxious watching. It is the day of the great school examination, and all the family have one wish that Hilary, the eldest son, shall gain the scholarship. We cannot do bet ter than give another pr2ssage from this same chap ter : JANET'S BROTHERS. The usual hour passed, and they did not come; the street grew dark ; there It as hardly any further use in watching, but we could not make up our minds to leave the window. The lamplighter, Hilary and I always used to look out for when we were children, passed down the street ; just as he lighted our lamp, the three figures we were waiting for passed under it; the sudden glare fell upon their faces, and I knew exactly how it was. My father was walking first, talking to Hilary, and Charlie was lagging behind. Nests ran out to open the door for them, and my mother turned on the gas-light, and went to her usual place at the tea table. Well, how has Hilary done P" she asked, as soon as they came into the room. " Very creditably ; better than I 'dnot satisfy me. I my father expected," answered cheerfully; but his tones did studying his knew there would be nothing to be might aused by face, so I turned from one to the other of the beltboys Hi!ary's face was steady, but pale ; ake him look triumphant. the paleness fatigue; nothing would even' m and t h ere was quite a flew ex. Charlie's face was flushed; pression in his usually lazy brown eyes ; a restless light, that I had never seen there before. Did it betoken morti fication, or what new excitement ? It was a lecture night; and as my father was later than usual in coming home we sat down at once at the tea table. Hilary gratified my mother by eating with his usual school boy appetite. Charlie drank large draughts of tea, and played with his spoon. My father soon pushed his plate and cup from him, rose from the table, collected his books, and walked to the door; then he turned, came back, and stood for a minute or two opposite Hilary, looking at him. " Hilary, my boy," he said, "it is better that you should not be kept in suspense; I have heard what the decision of the examiners is likely to be. You have done your best ; I am satisfied with you; but you have failed again. Mr. Carr, the youngest of the examiners, my late pupil, told me before I lelt the school that, though you had done better than any of the candidates of your own age, he and his coadjutors considered that there was one among the younger scholars to whom they should feel obliged to give the first place. It is Charlie who has won the prize 1" I was prepared, but my mother and Neste were not ; they both burst out in acclamations that sounded very like in dignation against Charlie. He had jumped up when my father spoke, quite white and trembling, and there was real pain in the tone of his voice when it rose above theirs. "Mamma, Nests, Hilary, I could not help itl I did not moan—" My father raised his hand and hushed them all. " Charlie was bound to do his best," he said, rather sternly. " I consider his success an accident ; not owing to any superior diligence on his part, but to the unusual course one of the examiners took in his questions. He happened to draw out precisely the sort of knowledge and ability Charlie has. 1 am sorry, for his sake, that he has succeeded so soon and BO easily; it will not be an advantage to him in the end. Now I must go. Hilary, my boy, I know you too well to think it needful to remind you in what spirit disappoint ment ought to be borne." In passing round the table my father put his hand for an instant on Hilary's head—a most unusual mark of favour with him—and then he left us. For a minute or two after the door shut behind him we were all silent. Charlie, who was trembling so that he could not stand, sat down, and dropped his face in his hands. We none of us knew what to say to him; we could not congratulate him, and yet, after my father's reproof, we dared not do anything else. Hilary looked appealingly at my mother, and then crossed the room and put his arm round Charlie's shoulder. "It is all right; what is the matter, Charlie ?" Le said. At the touch of Hilary's hand Charlie lifted up his head, but the glance he got at Hilary's face overcame the last remnant of self-control; nothing but flight could save him from the disgrace of being seen crying. He shook himself free, and dashed out of the room ; the next minute the slam ming of the bedroom door shook the house. All our extracts are taken from the first volume, because they serve best to intro duce the various members of the family, and we do not wish to betray any of the secrets of the after story. The passages we have quoted may servo to give some idea of the very graceful style of this most charming story. In some respects, in her simple life-like details of homely everyday affairs, the writer of this novel has some resemblance to Miss Bremer. We say this without detracting from her merits as an original genius. For, genius of an original kind the authoress of " Janet's Home" un doubtedly possesses. And c3nfident are we that with merely ordinary care in the application of her great natural gifts and graces as a writer, she may readily win for herself as a delineator of home life a position certainly unsurpassed, probably unri valled, among her contemporaries. The future before her as a novelist is that of becoming the Miss Austin of her generation. Mr. Bohn's Volumes for November. The Prose TVo?ks of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. One vol., pp. 580. Henry G. l3ohn. An Essay on the Evils of Popular Ignorance, 4• c. By John Foster. One vol., pp. 394. Henry G. Bohn. Although Mr. Bohn, during this last quarter of a century, has become the possessor by purchase of shoals upon shoals of valuable copyrights, and month by month, volume by volume, has re-issued old standard works as additions to a whole series of Libraries—he still contrives, in some mysterious manner, to have one or two thoroughly well-known English classics, to send forth thus from the press, by twos and by threes, with the magazines. In this way, but very recently, as we took occasion to notice at the time, he has published in a cheap and beautiful form Miss Mitford's charming Sketches of " Our Village," a cluster of the famous " Essays" of Jobn Foster, the friend of Robert Hail, Mr. Russell Hind's Popular outline of " Astronomy," and seve ral of the choicest " Fairy Tales" of those Brothers Grimm beloved alike by philosophers and by chil dren. Now one of his libraries, now another of them, is:selected by Mr. Bohn for these monthly additions —libraries as varied in character as the Standard, the Scientific, the Philosophical, the Illustrated, the Classical, the Antiquarian. The most recent among these multifarious and always well-selected republications, are the two volumes now demand ing some notice at our hands, the volumes issued with the magazines for this current month of November. They are both old familiar favourites. Ono of them a collection of three lovely stories—a volume complete and perfect in itself as a collection. The other being a continuation of the serial re-issue, thus, in occasional volumes, of the finest essays penned by one of the most able and brilliant among our modern essayists: a writer here already referred to—John Foster, the great dissenting Essayist, one of the loftiest intellects among the most eminent of the Dissenters. The addition now made to his writings in the shape of this new and most accept able edition—an edition calculated very consider ably to extend the popularity already acquired by them in their original form among thinking men—is, ii not apparently at the first glance parti cularly attractive, at any rate certain to be found upon examination, intrinsically, most judicious. The Essay on the Evils of Popular Ignorance, in truth stood, beyond any doubt of it, high among Foster's masterpieces. It is a great lay sermon—wonder fully eloquent at times—and throughout most impressive. The text, as we may almost call it, prefixed to this lay sermon is from Hosea; run ning briefly thus, "My people are destroyed through lack of knowledge." And, how strikingly Mr. Foster expatiates upon this awful theme, no one can even faintly conjecture who has not carefully followed out his remarkable argument. ftie purport of it comes even to the more reflective reader almost like a revelation. It seems as though, until Foster painted the terrible truths sent to us, that we had not realized even partially the fearful burden of ignorance weighing down the great masses of the population. But yesterday, as it were, that wide-spread ignorance was, with the generality, far more tearful, of course, than it is now-a-days, even in exceptionally dark and neglected localities. It is an ignorance that has been plombed by Parliamentary investigations Bluebooks have recorded its magnitude, its prevalence, its blackness, its profundity. It is in no way an evil, vague, uncertain, ima ginary, supposititious. It is as real and afflicting as the poverty accompanying it. It is a " darkness that may be felt !" How large the audience is already won for himself by the gifted writer of these pages we may recognise in the terse and striking intimation upon the title-page, " Twentieth Thousand." Mr. Bohn's New Edition, it should be remarked, more . - over, is one that has been carefully revised, a nd i e n e some parts considerably enlarge d. their Pro Works" of Professor Longfellow need for . eof acceptance in any form n o one BYllEabnigiand introduction.

The grandest instance of all, of course, grew up for the masses first, no doubt, unconsciously, and afterwards for a long while but very doubtfully,.by reason of the thick and, at the outset, impenetrable veil of the anonymous hiding from view the identity of the Great Unknown. This was, namely, when Walter Scott the Poet became the grandest prose writer of fiction that had ever lived, the Wizard Romarieht of the North, the inaugu. rater, as the author of the Waverley Novels, of a new and resplendent school of imaginative litera ture! Professor Longfellow, as a poet turned writer of prose, stands, so to speak, intermediately between a brief teller of tales like Charles Lamb, and a giant weaver of romance like Walter Scott.

As the Frontispiece , Birket Foster, has given us the prettiest little peep amongst the trees, of that famous house at Mount Veruon, doubly classic, doubly interesting , as the home nowadays of the poet Longfellow, as the home formerly of the patriot Washington.

He has presented us, i❑ a very pleasing and popular, and at the samo time accurate way, with a descriptive history of the teeth, from their birth to their death, pointing out the various diseases to which they are subject, with the method of preventing or combat ing them. We commend this little work to alrwho are not careless about health. The Acclimatisation Society of Great Britain.
