According to annual custom, the Royal Speech, by which the two Houses of the I egislature were prorogued last month, commended both Lords and Commons to avail themselves of the customary opportunity for promoting the goodwill, the loyalty, and the Patriotic ardour of the community, the opportunity,that is afforded to them, every successive autumn, by the mere circumstance of their scatter ing back, each man into his own neighbourhood. Stereotyped, so to speak, though this gracious re commendationlfrom the SOVEREIGN undoubtedly is, in the ordinary outline of the Royal Address, whether delivered from the throne itself by the Monarch in person, or from the foot of the throne by the Royal Commissioners—it is no merely idle, complimentary phrase, indicative of the SOVE REIGN'S reliance upon the loyal sivism of those legislative leaders among her subjects. It is, on the contrary, one fraught, in every syllable of it, with a deep significance. And it is a recommendation, moreover, which is sedulously acted upon, year after year, in all parts of the country, at uncertain inter vals it may be, but most certainly thus at intervals, by one or another, more frequently even, it might be said, by twos and by threes together, of the more conspicuous members of both Houses of the Legislature. Already even, this year, before the Closed September, we have, and that very recently) had occasion to remark how many have acted thus in °bed ienee to the SOVEREIGN'S direction, or at any • rate r ecommendation. The establishment of an instituti on, the opening of a public park, the in auguration of a scientific association, the mere com parison of notes upon the last session of Parliament, down in hi s Own borough or county between a popular re presentative and his assembled consti tuents—each and all of these occasions supply our legislators with tho desired opportunity for address ing themselves durin g the long recess or vacation to their neighbours by w ord of mouth—sand, beyond that, thanks to stenog r a phy, to the general com munity afterwards, throu gh the medium of the newspaper press. Besides the occasions already enumerated, however, there are others of a more homely or more local character, d atin g each succes sive autumn, occasions of which th e foremost men : eln themselves. : i h v e e i s r . in Parliament are often enough e patriotic readiness at all times to a vail There is the Harvest Home, for example. And there is the Agricultural Meeting, the meeting new in one locality, now in another of our numerous Agricultural Associations. Of each of these home o pp or tunities, as they may be called, our impression of this evening will be found elsewhere to afford, so to speak, a very apt , and noteworthy illustration, viz in the report of the proceedings i n connection, here, with a Harvest Home in Buckinghamshire, here, with an Agricul t u ral Meeting in Hertf ordshi re. The Harvest Home at Hughenden Manor eliciting another admirable speech from the eminent man who is Lord of the 51anor down there, to wit, the right hon. gentleman the representative of JOHN HAIIpp EN s country, and beyond that, the Leader of Her MAJESTY'S Oppo sition, The meeting of the Hertfordshire Agricul tural Association down at Hitchin being presided over and addressed at considerable length by another right hon. chief from the front bench of the Op po ,„ sition, also representative of his county, and, be yond that, one of the very foremost among the representative men of the age. By how many A ell earned titles, Sir ,BLILWEB LYTTON is that, we .all know. Yesterday, however, although the right hon. baronet was presiding over the agricul tural banquet at Hitchin in his capacity as Chair man, and doing so not only most Efficiently, but most effectively, it was rather as a country gentle man, as an agriculturist, as one individually en gaged and personally interested in the pursuit of farming, that he spoke from time to time—but more particularly in giving "the toast of the evening," as it is called, in delivering the speech of the night, to his fellow-county-men of Hertfordshire. Towards the close of that speech there were discernible, no doubt, indications of its falling from the lips of one who is not only a legislator, but a Statesman and an Administrator. But for the most part Sir E. B. LYTTON restricted himself carefully to questions especially appertaining to, or connected with, the subject matter of his toast—the interests of agriculture generally, but more particularly, of course, the local agricultural interests of Hert fordshire. So earnestly, indeed, did he address himself to the particular purpose he had in view, that it might be said, even, that he sunk the Orator almost E qually with the Poet, the Dramatist, the Novelist, or, in its widest sense, the chief among the Men-of-letters of his time. He certainly eschewed anything like oratorical artifice. He spoke clearly and directly to the point. Not a farmer amongst them but must have listened yes terday at Hitchin with the deepest interest to Sir BULWER LYTTON'S speech as an agriculturist. If startled and saddened by his reference in that speech to the alarming calculation made very re cently at Hamburg by Professor GAMGEE before the International Congress of Veterinary Surgeons there assembled from all parts of Europe, the farmers of Hertfordshire must have been none the less gladdened and heartened onward in their pursuits, by Sir EDWARD'S reference to another and a still more remarkable philosophic agriculturist, Professor LlEBlG—that illustrious LIEBIG whose genius, he aptly remarked, links together Agriculture and Science, meaning, we pre sume, by science, that comprehensive portion or division of it known as Chemistry. Professor GAMGEE'S calculation here referred to as queted by Sir BULWER LYTTON was, it will be seen, to no less alarming an effect than that in the six years endi ng i n 18 60 the value of the stock which have perished in Great Britain and Ireland is £24,500,600, whilst the quantity of stock which has been imported from abroad within the same period is less than £1,500,000; so that the nation has lost within that period four times the value of stock which has been imported! Professor LIEBIG'S opinion in regard to another and, if we might say so, yet more vitally important consideration in re spect to the whole scheme of agricultural pursuits, more important, seeing that this one relates directly to what is called with so much emphasis the staff of life—Professor LIEBIG's cheering and heart-glad dening estimate (as quoted yesterday by Sir BULWER LYTTON, from the remarkable pamphlet in which the learned Baron has just been recom mending the utilisation of the sewage of towns), running to the effect " that in the continued pro gress of agricultural improvement in the three kingdoms, England, Ireland, and Scotland will grow corn sufficient to supply the wants of the whole population without purchasing corn from abroad !" That being the deliberate and positive opinion but just now put forth by the Great Philosopher. Quoting again from that same philosopher—" a philosopher," as he said," so disinterested and so profound," that the opinion thus uttered by him assumes the simple language of truth—what though couched in words that, if uttered by a farmer, would be con sidered an extravagant compliment to his own pro tession—quoting once mere from Baron LILBIG, Sir BULWER LYTTON impressively concluded his speech, yesterday, at Hitchin, by reminding his agricultural audience that upon their calling, that is upon agriculture, depend the welfare and de velopment of the whole human species, the riches of States, and all Commerce. The English are proverbially a long-suffering people, yet it is strange how long they tolerate some abuses which are continually thrusting them selves upon their notice. The discomforts of our street conveyances have so long been prevalent that we have almost ceased to notice them. Some time ago indeed an attempt was made thoroughly to reorganise the cab system, but thanks to the meet ing of the cabmen, and the consequent inconve nience experienced by hon. members, the bill was hurried through Parliament in a very incomplete and unsatisfactory state. A little later on we were told to expect great things from a change in the management of the metropolitan omnibuses. A rich and enterprising company were to buy up all competitors, to provide new vehicles, to give in creased accommodation, with reasonable fares, and never -failing civility. How far these specious pro mises have been kept the public has long ere this been able to decide. The result has proved, what all experience does prove, that monopoly is a very bad thing, on whatever pretext it be tolerated. New vehicles we have certainly had, but the com fort of the passengers is not always the first object considered in them, as anyone can testify who, on one of the glowing middays of the late summer, had the pleasure of riding —one of twelve—in a vehicle made on the famous principle '° How not to do with windows that do not open. We ali resign ourselves to temporary martyrdom, however, when putting ourselves temporarily under the dominion of drivers and conductors. We try to believe our instructors when we are gravely informed that the , I Redcap is close to Highgate Cemetery, and listen with dutiful submission when assured that King's Cross is two minutes walk from the Euston-road. But even English equanimity is ruffled and Eng lish patience begins to rebel when to all other delays, inconveniences, and annoyances is super added a positive risk to life and limb. The sys tem of " nursing," so often complained of, and so universally condemned, is attaining a degree of recklessness in some parts of London, which imperils not only the safety of the passengers by the omni nibus itself but of the passers-by. It is in itself only another development of the monopoly which is always to be depreciated, in whatever form of busi ness, trade, or commerce it appears. As some omni buses belonging to the old proprietors, who refused to relinquish their occupation, are still in existence, it ia the company's object to drive them off the field, b y absorbing all the passengers, and, as the best and most effectual means of doing this, the nursinga plan is adopted. In consists in two omnibuses goi ng, one before and one after the enemy, so that if he attempts to hasten he is anticia he ling ers b e f a ll s i n w i th the rated by the first, if sccond. Then comes the racing, in which both sides are of course equally to blame, It may be very amus i ng t o d r i vers and conductors to get up a speed that dangero us i n L ondon thoroughfares, a is m a i absolutely y ldashutelo utterly regardless of the vain appeals of casual passengers, at a rate more agreeable to themsclVes than to their f ares or their horses ; but the q iestion is, whether thi s sort of entertainment is to be allowed at the expense of the general safety a It was only the other day that conductor fell a victim to this 6ang4,rous practice, and paid kith hie life the forfeit the prevelent rashness. But nothing seems to be a warning. The omnibus interest succeeded in getting rid of the tramways, on the plea of their want of safety ; and it was loudly declared by their supporters that if tramways were allowed in London it would be taking the first step towards adopting the American system, where the cars are suffered to run unchecked through public thoroughfares. But the present practice is even worse than the American one, since there is no attempt at rule or regulation, but only a struggle for pre-eminence, heedless of all beside. The correspondent of a morning contemporary descants with considerable indignation upon this subject, more especially as regards the North- Western and Westminster route. He styles him self a constant traveller on that lice, and pouttrays a state of things that loudly calls for interference of some sort. He declares that the omnibuses alternate between dawdling at profitable corners for passengers and racing at a dangerous pace. " First you go at a dangerous racing pace—then yen dawdle—then you are jerked backwards and forwards—then you are suddenly pulled lir —then you are thrown on your back or face by being driven into a gutter—then you fancy you are going into a shop window." Add to this the pleasures of listening to the perpetual wrangles of the rival drivers and conductors, and a fair idea may be gained of the comforts of a London omnibus ex cursion. The question is, whether it would not be well to try a total change, to put the matter under Government surveillance, and to make the licenses conditional on steady driving and fair play. If " nursing" or " racing" were to be ranked as for feiting the license, we should hear less of it. We should be able to ride in comfort and quietude, in stead of being shaken about in every direction, and then set down in the wrong street after all, It is high time something should be done in the amelioration of an evil which is becoming a positive nuisance in our thoroughfare, while it pre sents serious dangers to life and limb. A most extraordinary case has recently occurred in Castle Hedingham, Essex. An old Frenchman, who was deaf and dumb, was supposed to be invested with some supernatural powers ; whereupon some persons were credulous enough to attach vast im- portance to his treatment. As is ordinarily the case in such affairs, matters were at last pushed to an extremity which has proved fatal to one person, and will doubtless involve some others in a very serious predicament. It appears that the old Frenchman had lived for seven or eight years in a miserable hut. According to the evidence adduced at the examination before the magistrates, it appears that EMMA Salmi, the wife of a publican, was the im mediate cause of all the violence that occurred on the night of the 3d of August last. The French man, who was called by no other name than " Dummy," came to her house and asked for leave to sleep in a shed. She agreed, but some days after that she wished him to leave. At this he demurred. but upon her insisting, he was very much vexed, and made signs, and wrote upon a door that in tin days she should be ill. She then stated in her evi dence that " he made her ill and bewitched her, and the went everywhere, but could get no one to set her right again. She was afraid, for no medicine could do her any good." It seems almost incredib:e that in these days of enlightenment such gross ig norance and fearful superstition should prevail, but sad as this state of things is, it is ten times worse to learn how cruel and inhuman was the conduct that afterwards took place. This woman, EMMA SMITH, went to a public-house, where she unfortunately met old " Dummy," -whom she feared and hated. She was lamenting her iliness, and declared that it was all on account of the "witchcraft" practised upon her by "Dummy." Apparently her words excited her listeners to a very extraordinary degree or else they had also some private wrongs or . grudges against the Frenchman, for the other visi tors to the Swan took up her cause with a zeal that was worthy of a better cause. First of all EMMA SMITH begged and prayed of " Dummy" to go home with her to do her gold. She promised to give him three sovereigns, and to use him well. Doubtless "Dummy" on his side was very much to blame for persisting in aggravating the woman, but great ex cuses are to be made for his infirmities, which of course precluded him from comprehending all the purport of what signs were made him. He was unwise enough to draw his hand across his throat, which meant to signify that he would rather have his head cut off and his throat cut than go. This produced a most serious disturbance, ending in a fatal catastrophe. The people about set on him and pushed him out of the inn. Mrs. SMITH went on in the most violent fashion, for such a desperate invalid as she represented herself to be. A man named STAMMERS was very instrumental in the ensuing scenes of violence, and he stands charged with EMMA SMITH with unlawfully as saulting the Frenchman. First of all, " Dummy" was pushed into a brook by Mrs. SMITH, but after that he was " swum" at the milihead. The pro ceedings were altogether characterised with a ruffianism and a brutality that are perfectly re volting. Considering the age of the party assailed, the offence amounts to a serious crime. He was up wards of 80 years old, and for him to be treated in this barbarous fashion is a disgrace and a scandal to the neighbourhood. As might be surmised, the poor old creature did not survive the effects of this " dark night's work." He was taken out of the water almost senseless and laid on the grass, where he remained for nearly a quarter of an hour. Afterwards he went on, leaning on the wall for support. The inhabitants of Castle Hedingharn appeared to have rivalled each other as to whom should be the most deaf to the claims of humanity on this night in question. " Dummy" knocked at the door of a butcher, who refused to let him in. It is high time that the good people of this village turn over a new leaf in their conduct, or else they bid fair to gain a most unenviable reputation. Subs sentiently the Frenchman was taken home, but here again the same faulty line of action was continued. He was . left in his wet clothes. The next day he was found by one of the guardians of the poor lying on some straw and trembling. He was taken to: the Union, where he died on the 4th of September. The magistrates very properly committed both prisoners for trial at the next assizes. It is to be hoped that this shocking and disgraceful case may be thoroughly sifted, and that the delinquents will be severely dealt with. No excuses regarding the health of EMMA SMITH, and the want of proof regarding STAMMERS, should be tolerated. It is evident that they are guilty parties, whoever else may have assisted them and succeeded in escaping detection. To screen and shelter such offenders will be to encourage a most serious evil. It is one that espe cially calls for suppression, and no efforts should be spared to put it down with a strong hand. There is nothing that can be more hurtful in its conse quences or detrimental in its effects on the minds of the ignorant than the terrors of superstition, and the absurdities of such credulous ideas. It bas been shown by lamentable facts how demoralising are its tendencies, and how degrading its influences. Such an affair as this referred to is a scandal to the "until'. There is no use in reasoning with peraons THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPITMBER, 25, 1863 who have worked themselves up to such a state of terrorism, still less in allowing others to revive the barbarous customs of a benighted state of society. The law must interfere and bring the infatuated individuals to a just sense of the crime they have committed in depriving of life a poor old man whose infirmities should have ensured him protec tion. There was no one present in the crowd assembled at the time, who is not in some way to blame for not interfering to prevent the outrage, and for not rendering some assistance afterwards to the sufferer, and also for not summoning the police. Such unfortunate occurrences are happily rare among 'IR, but when they do harrow our feelings, and disgrace our society, let them be treated as they deserve, and let no false notions of mercy make the name of justice a mockery, where its retributive powers are so greatly needed. Harvest Home at Hughenden Manor, One of these pleasing agricultural festivals took place yesterday at Hughenden Manor, Bucking hamshire, the seat of the Right Hon. B. Disraeli, M.P., when the tenant farmers, and the laboui era on the estate of the right hon. gentleman, and those of some of the neighbouring landowners, assembled together for the purpose of innocent enjoyment and recreation in the park, a short distance from Mr. Disraeli's house. Tents had been fixed, in one of which the dinner took place, but unfortunately the frequent and heavy showers of rain prevented much out of door enjoyment. In the morning Divine service was held in the old church of St. Michael's, Hughenden, the vicar age of which is attached to, and the vicarage house in the park grounds. O wing to some slight indis position which at present confines the right hon. gentleman to his room, Mr. Disraeli was unable to be present either at the service or at the dinner subsequently, but Mrs. Disraeli was present, and took an active part in the proceedings. The quaint old church was very prettily decorated with holly and ivy leaves, and the Communion table with ferns and flowers. Most of the farmers and labourers had a small bunch of wheat, barley, and oats, tied up with a white ribb on , attac h e d to their coats. At half-past twelve o ' c l oc k t h ey procee ded in procession to the church, b e i ng h ea d e d b y the High Wycombe Volunteer band, an d f o l lowed by th e families of the principal g en t r y o f t h e ne i g hb our h oo d. The Rev. C. W. Clubbe, the vicar of Hughenden, read the prayer, and preached an excellent sermon from 104th Psalm, verse 24, " 0 Lord, how mani fold are thy works ! In wisdom hast thou made them all. The earth is full of Thy riches." He impressed upon his hearers the necessity of giving thanks to Almighty God for the abundant harvest which had been vouchsafed this season—an abun dant harvest almost unprecedented, and after repre hending the way in which the old harvest homes used to be kept, when they were nothing more or less than scenes of riot and drunkenness, he pointed out that the movement which had been commenced and adopted in almost every part of the country of making them occasions of grateful thanksgiving to God and scenes of innocent rustic enjoyment, could not fail in greatly improving the manners and habits of the peasantry. Oa the conclusion of the service the procession was again formed, and proceeded from the church to Hughenden Manor House, round which it peram bulated, as well as in the adjacent grounds. After leaving the Manor House the procession paraded the ground in front of the vicarage, and then across the lawn to a handsome marquee, where over 200 of the farmers, labourers, and gentry sat down to a substantial but excellent dinner of hot roast and boiled beef and plumpudding. Mrs. Disraeli en tered the tent shortly after the company sat down, and remained (luring the whole of the proceedings. She was loudly cheered. In the absence of Mr. Disraeli the chair at the dinner was taken by the vicar, and the loyal toasts of " The Queen," " The Prince and Princess o f Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family" having been given, The Rev. CHAIRMAN said—l have now to give Ban c andti our proceedings you "The health of our diAinguished Squire, Mr. Disraeli." (Loud cheers.) 11r. Disraeli, ea you are aware, occupies a most eminent po sition in public life, and although that circumstance de p rives us of the advantage during a great part o f the year of having him among us as a resident , y et it do es not prevent us taking a lively intere st in ever ything that concerns the welfare of the p arish of Hughen den. (Cheers.) I regret extrem el y that M. Dis raeli is prevented from being p resent U pon this occasion, and I believe that no o ne re g ret s it more than he does himself. Though , however, he is ab. sent per so na t l c. l v d , a y have h e is withn o t onlyus in his spirit,on but his warmest approbation. ( Cheers.) I b eg, there fore, to give you the he alth of Mr. Disr aeli as the lord of the manor and the owner of th e principal portion of the parish , and also to Cou p l e the toast with the health of th e other p rinci p al proprietors of Hughenden. The CHAIRMAN next proposed the "Health of the Tenant Farmers of the manor and ~ neighbour hood," expressing the obligations whi ch the clergy felt towards them for coming forward and so power fully supporting harvest homes. Mr. HUSSY and Mr. COATES, two of the commit tee of tenant farmers who assisted In getting up the fete, returned thanks, and expressed the general approval with which the farmers witnessed the in troduction of the new mode of keeping harvest home. The CHAIRMAN, in propos c -6 the " Health of the Labourers," observed that he had been present at many meetings i n which the gentry and farmers had dined together, but nevtr before at any at which gentry, farmers, and labourers sat down at the same table. He consideret that they were only performing an act of duty i n thus assembling all together, in order, in the first place, to offer up thanks to God for His mer cy, aid then to sit socially down and partake of those good things in the production of which they were all deeply in terested. By thus meeting together they formed a new bond of union, while at the same time they spent the day in happy and he hoped not unprofit able enjoyment. JOHN TILRY, one of the farm labourers, having been called on to ac knowledge the toast, said— " We thank you , g eu tletaen, :or your goodness to us, and we hope you Will enjoy health. We thank God for all things, and, above all, for His mercy in sending us such a good harvest." (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The Health of Mrs. Disraeli," which Was drunk wit • h loud cheers, to which Mrs. Disraeli bowed her acknowledg ments. Mr. COATES then proposed " The Health of their respected Vicar," and many thanks to him for his kindness in promoting the harvest home movement. ‘, Th e Health of the Rev. Mr. Evett, the rural dean, townspeopl e and e s e p t n e h o e p drunk,lg the proceedings c oncluded with of the movement," was a o originator f inat or also given and respo n d e d to; and some other toasts h a tea m eeting, Whic , was attended by a number of the av High Wycombe. Some rustic s ports had been p repared, but the weather was not ve ry favourabl e f or that species of enjoyment. ea HUMBOLDT AND H7EB,NE's OAK.—I may men tion, as an interesting circumstance, what took place when the Emp erors o f Th iss i a an d A us t r i a an d the King of Pru ss i a as6ertibled at Windsor Castle to cele brate the christening, of our Prince of Wales. The Queen invited these potentates to walk in her grounds, but some of their attendants remained at the castle. Instead of view ing, the objects in it, the celebrated Baron Humboldt in quired his way to H erne ' s Oak. This was the first o bj ect of his attention and curiosity, and probably of his venera tion. The splendour of the castle, its pictures, the noble scenery which is to be seen from it, and the many historical facts connected with it, were objects of inferior interest compared with the shattered trunk of an oak, "dry and dead," yet rich with recollections of the genius of our ire mortal Shakspeare. On arriving at the interesting relic, the Baron gazed upon it in silence; and at last gathered a leaf from the ivy Whi c h c l u ng to the decaying trunk, and deposited it in his pocket-book, as a relic to carry back to his own country, to be exhibited there as one of no common in terest. The nobleman who accompanied him to the tree acquainted me with this little anecdote, which I must con fess afforded me no small degree of gratification, --Edward Mot): Oncy a ire4,': LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

A very large and influential meeting was held the 17th Aueust, at which a long series of speeches were made, aild a strong memorial to the Governor against the removal of the Parliament from the metropolis of the colony was adopted. The impression in the colony is that Governor Wodehouse has made this change to conciliate the Eastern members, and a strong party in the House were determined to oppose him, because they con sider all the difficulties would have been got over by the establishment of a responsible Government. The elections for the House of Assembly take place in November. The Legislative Council will not be dissolved. CALCUTTA AND CHINA MAILS. SEPT. 25. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company have received a telegram, stating that their steam 'ship Poonab, which left Southampton with the Calcutta, China, and Australian mails on the 20th instant, put into Lisbon yesterday to re pair damage sustained by her machinery, and that it is not probable she will leave there before the 29th inst. We are authorised to state that, notwithstanding this accident, the outward mail via Marseilles will be despatched on the 26th inst., as usual, in order that no detention may be caused to the correspond ing homeward mails from Australia, &e., due in London on October 13. MEETING OF THE NATIONAL VEREIN. DRESDEN, SEPT. 24. E The first meeting of the National Verein has taken place under the Presidency of M. Wigard, formerly a representative at the Frankfort Diet, and com prcmised in the revolution of 1849. M. Schultze Delistchez severely criticised the pro ceedings of the Frankfort Congress. He said that on that occasion Austria had acted solely in her own dynastic interests, and added that the meet ing of the Sovereigns had in reality been brought about by the National Verein. He declared that the German people would net give their adhesion to the project which their rulers had approved, and, in conclusion, warmly advocated a return to the Constitution which had been voted by the Parlia ment of Frankfort in 1849. M. Rewiszer, who spoke to the same effect, con cluded his speech with the words, "We are the State." Both speeches produced a great sensation. The National Verein will shortly hold a meeting at Leipzig. MM. Clam Gallas representative for Austria, von Feder fur Bavaria, and Kleing Hoeffer for the Grand Duchy of Hesse, have just arrived hero for the pur pose of inspecting the Saxon Federal Contingent.

AUDI AITERAM PARTEINI. _ We would particularly direct attention to the words which we have italicised in the following communication. Those words clearly indicating that our contemporary, the Scotsman, must be held responsible for the statement referred to by the Captain of the Great Eastern, a statement quoted by us at the time with acknowledgment.--ED. SUN : The Great Ship Company (Limited), 28, Albany, Old Hall-street, Liverpool, September 22, 1863. Sir, —Having observed an article in the London Sun of yesterday, quoted from your paper, relating to the steam ship Great Eastern, purporting to be an extract from a pri vate letter of one of the passengers, and containing state ments entirely erroneous, and highly detrimental to the ship and her proprietary, I beg to inform you that almost all the statements contained therein are totally untrue, and that during the severe hurricane referred to there were none of the passengers (to my knowledge) injured or hurt, none of my offic3rs or crew had a bone broken, no accident occurred to any of the boilers, no men were lashed to the wheel all night—a few men were stationed at the relieving tackles merely as a precautionary measure. The steerage cabosse did certainly work loose, but was secured in less than ten minutes, and no fire took place in consequence ; and I can also assure you that the ship was not beyond my control for six hours. In conclusion, I must express my regret that your valua ble and widely circulating paper should have been the medium of circulating statements calculated not only to deceive the public but create very serious loss to the share. holders. Feeling assured you would not intentionally do so, and that you will bring the truth of the matter promi nently before your numerous readers, —I am, &c., WALTER PATON• Commander of the steamship Great Eastern. To the above letter, the Scotsman appends the following remark : "The letter of a passenger which we published was from a trustworthy person, whose statements we had no reason to suppose untrue or exaggerated." LITERATURE. After Long Years; a Novel. By Mrs. Mackenzie Daniel, author of " My Sister Minnie," " Marry ing for Money," &a. Two vols. Newby. _ _ _ Mrs. Mackenzie Daniel is the authoress of many pleasant domestic novels, in most of which she endeavours, while amusing her readers, to convey some encouraging example or some lesson of warn ing. In none of her works has her moral object been so strikingly evidenced as in the present instance. " After Long Years" is the title of this book; the lesson it teaches being patient perseverance and unwavering hope in well-doing. " Teach your children, Sarah," says the heroine at the close of her story, " never to despair of accomplishing any thing, however hard, in which they can ask God to help them. Is not my success worth all you fancy it has cost me, though it has only come to me After Long Years ?'' This heroine, at the opening of the first volume, is a very young, a very happy, and a very charming bride, who, full of blissful ignorance and innocence, gives her hand " with her heart in it" to one of the most despicable heroes that novelist ever depicted. The character of the heartless Frederick is some what overdrawn, and many portions of the story are exaggerated, in order probably to enhance the effect of the closing scene, which, after fifteen weary years, rewards the much-tried, much-enduring heroine. Many of the characters are drawn with a very felicitous pencil, and the domestic scenes are lull of interest. Mrs. Daniel will, we feel persuaded of this, delight a great number of readers with this new fiction, a story which may rank, indeed, among her best. Subtle Brains and _Lissom Fingers : Being Some of the Chisel-marks of our Industrial Progress. By Andrew Wynter, M.D., INI.R.C.V. One vol., pp. 446. London : Hardwicke. Dr. Wynter's papers are eminently deserving of republication. The subjects of his essays are sin • gularly diversified and well-timed, and his remarks are characterised by sound practicel common sense. The article on Railway Travelling, and its effects upon health, is deserving of general consideration. The sad picture, not in anywise overdrawn, of the evil effects of the hurry-scurry to catc'e the express train, is not allowed by the judicious Doctor to pre judice his readers' minds against the real benefits of a rapid transit out of the noise and smoke of London. "The Buried Roman Town in Britain," " Mudie's Circulating Library," "The Times News paper of 1798," " Messages under the Sea," Sec.— such are among the diversified subjects of these essays. " The Clerk of the Weather" is the start ling title of a singularly interesting de , scription of the meteorological department of the Board of Trade. " A Day with the Coroner' gives a rapid but most impressive glimpse of some of the saddest phases of London life. After this melancholy experience of the hourly risks attending human life, Dr. Wynter tells us that for days after wards he looked much shyer at a crowded crossing than was his wont, and took especial good care to keep outside of ladders! In the article on Adver tising, the Doctor humorously comments upon the good effects of a striking name, to rivet the atten tion—distinguishing most particularly the felicitous appellation of Harper Twelvetrees. As a close observer of psychological curiosities, the Doctor points our attention to the fact how the merest trifle will often attract our notice, when we are filled with anxiety and suspense, and how in consequence it will remain indelibly fixed in the memory. Railway stations are, consequently, he observes, good places for advertisements, as they are likely to become imprinted upon the mind of the anxious railway traveller pacing up and down the platform, waiting for the train ! But " the best spot in the whole world for an advertisement, to our mind," says the Doctor. " is the little oval splash-board of the Han som cab, which faces you as you sit down; it is the only object in the foreground to be seen, and with out doubt an advertisement in this situation is more deliberately read than in any other place in the world !" Such are the practical teachings of the Doctor's acute observation and large experience. He tells us that for the future his professional duties will circumscribe the pleasant labours of his pen, an announcement which his readers will very generally regret. As a parting gift, however, he has given them this very delightful volume, which will wile away many an agreeable hour. Funny French Notions of English Life ! " Le Secret de Miss Aurore," the dramatic ver sion of "Aurora Floyd" at the The itre du Chatelet at Paris, ends, says a humorous correspondent of the Spectator, with a perfect carnival of ghosts for a denouement. British spirits appear to have paid a high duty in this case, for no less than £BOO is said to have been paid for the secret of the magical invocation. I witnessed a representation of this French sensation drama the other day, and cannot deny that, ludicrous as many of the misconceptions of English manners and customs are, there is a cer tain skill in theatrical effects which few of our English adaptations possessed. Whether as a sup posed picture of ordinary English life, or on account of the ghost scene, it certainly fills the vast theatre to the roof every evening. The story departs pretty freely from the original, and there are several new characters introduced, which, as might be expected, are either purely French under English names, or strange combinations of English eccentricities and French natures., The scene of the first act is laid at Felden Woods, and is chiefly remarkable for the constant drinking of tea by all the characters, the enthusiastic declaration of John Mellish that he had never eaten "puddings mieux arroses,"—a web b fisted pudding being thus supposed to be the English ne plus ultra of cookery—and a curious at tempt at a representation of an English Christmas tree and juvenile party which suddenly terminates in a poetical rhapsody, apropos of the season, uttered by Aurora kneeling. A good deal of the second act is taken up with stable scenes at Mellish-Park, and the French attempts at English low-life comedy form most decidedly the most amusing portion of the play. Jockeys, grooms, trainers, and horses are all present on the stage in crowds, and an attempt is made to represent " le sport" in full per fection. There is a great deal of what is meant for English " chaff," but the authors are certainly too complimentary to our lower classes in representing them as possessed of quite so refined a style of wit. After one or two ineffectual attempts at a genuine " hurrah I" the crowd indicates its English charac ter by a song and chorus, of which the following verse is a specimen : 1. Aoh I Le plus fin jockey d'Anglete c'que c'est C'etait Toby....fluet et sec. D'airaer trop les pommes de Tous. terre. Ahl 8h I Pauvre' jockey. DANIEL. AOh Mais sa taill' devint moires c'quo c'est, Aoh lLegere,_ Aot ! Grace au porter, grace au V'la c'qu . e c'est, bifteck I Dig, dig, dig, alb right. Toys. REPRISE generale dans un Al! all chceur formidable. DANIEL. AOh I aoh I aoh I aoh Aob 1 aoh 1 aoh I aoh l Pauvre' jockey I Pauvre, jockey. Aoh I &c. After this ebullition of truly British character, the story goes on, amidst continual drinking of tea, eating of pudding and " Chester" (cheese ?), and persevering attempts at the never to be attained " hurrah !" much the same as in the novel, until the introduction of a grand harvest home, with con sequent ballet. There is another song, of which the following is the most notable verve:-- Le buveur qui perd la raison, Noyee au fond de son grand verre, Da au polic'mau moins severe : " C'etait to fete du houblou 1 " followed by a chorus in praise of " la biere blonde," which, it is to be presumed, means pale ale—a beverage certainly little known among harvest men. The lest of the pl a y i s a goo d d ea l spun out, pos• sibly in order t o ga i n tim e for the preparations for the ghost tableaux, in which Hargrave, while escaping at night through the wood, is confronted by the phantom of Conyers rising on ail sides, and finally swoons with terror. THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON'S YACHT, according to the Courrier de la Gironde, is now at Bordeaux, await ing, it is said, the arrival of tho Princess Clotilde, who is to embark there for Lisbon, where her Imperial Highness, as already stated, is going to stand godmother to the infant of the Qqaen cf Portugal• Ciroifar. THE QUEEN IN SCOTLAND, BALMORAL, Sept. 23. The Queen, accompanied by the Princess Helena, drove out yesterday afternoon. Prince Alfred dined with the Prince and Princess of Wales at Abergeldie Castle, attended by Captain Westerweller. The Prince and Princess of Wales in the • Highlands. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales went out deer-stalking in Invercauld Foi est on Saturday week. He was accompanied by Colonel Keppel and Mr. Wood, and attended by Mr. John Grant, keeper, and a numerous staff of ghillies. The royal party were conducted to the top of Craigliegach by Colonel F. Farquharson. To this place a herd Of 300 noble stags had been driven by the Inver cauld gamekeepers and ghillies, but unfortunately the wind suddenly shifted, and the whole herd passed at a rapid pace beyond the range of the rifle. The prince was gratified with the rare and splendid sight of so numerous a herd, but doubtless he must have keenly felt a sportsman's longing to be among them. When the whole of the deer had disappeared beyond the crest of the neighbouring mountain, the royal party descended Craigliegach to the carriage drive, where, by appointment, they met the prin cess, who was accompanied by the Hon. Mrs. Bruce, lady ;.n waiting to her royal highness. Having selected a beautiful spot on the skirts of the wood, commanding a full view of the extensive forest of Ballochbui, with Lochnagar right in front, a cloth was spread on the purple heather, on which luncheon was served to their Royal Highnesses by the worthy host, Colonel R. Farquharson,assisted by his brother, Captain F. Farquharson, of the 60th Rifles. After luncheon, a deer-drive from Cluny was proposed. The Princess of Wales, staff in hand, ascended the hill with a light and elastic step, and appeared thoroughly to enjoy the exhi,arating scene. On reaching the mountain pass, she sat down on the heath to admire the magnificent scenery and to watch the sport, and after the lapse of about a quarter of an hour, "bounding o'er the purple heath the antlered monarchs came," some of them passing within 20 yards of the spot where her royal highness was sitting. Bang went the rifle right and left, and two fine stags fell to the well.. directed aim of her royal husband. The princess rose to look at the deer as they tumbled down the face of the hill, this being the first time she has witnessed deer killed on the Scottish mountains. Their royal highnesses were afterwards conducted round to the Falls of the Garrawalt, where the carriages awaited them. They then drove home to Abergeldie, both highly delighted with the day's enjoyment, and much gratified at the kind enter tainment they had received from Col. H. Farquhar son.—Aberdeen Journal, The Duke at.d Duchess of Sutherland have a select party visiting them at Dunrobin Castle, Sutherland shire. The Duke and Duchess of Richmond and family , leave Gordon Castle next month for Goodwood Park, Sus sex, for the winter. The Duke of Somerset returns to his official re sidence at the Admiralty on Monday, from his seat in Wiltshire.

The Marquis and Marchioness of Ailesbury, ac companied by the Count Danneskiold and the Countesses Henrietta and Amy Danneskiold, arrived in town yester day from Jerveaux Abbey, Yorkshire. The Earl of Straf ford, Lord and Lady Charles Bruce, and the Hon, Colonel Byng, have been among the recent visitors of the marquis and Marchioness. The Marquis of Hastings has left Long's Hotel. The Earl and Countess of Yarborough arrived at Brocklesby, a few days ago, from visiting the Earl /and Countess of Eglinton at Eglinton Castle, Ayrshire.

SIR GASPARD LE MARCHANT, it is reported, will retain his post, as Governor of Malta, for the present, and that Major-General Sir H. K. Storks, who was named as his successor, will be appointed Governor of Jersey, vacant by the appointment of Major-General Sir H. P. Douglas, Bart., to the command of a division at the Cape of Good Hope, THE GREAT EASTERN.—It is stated upon good authority that there is no foundation—at any rate, at pre sent—for the rumour now in circulation that the Great Eastern is to be sold by auction. On the other hand, it is correct that the directors have determined not to send her to sea again this year. Nothing as regards the future duty and destination of the vessel will be done or decided upon until the shareholders are called together at an early day, when a full statement of affairs will be laid before them. The mortal remains of the late respected Right Hon. Edward Ellice, M.P., were deposited in the church of Ardochy, in Inverness-shire, on Wednesday last. The funeral was conduced in a very private manner, Mr. Ed ward Ellice, M.P., being the chief mourner. REPRESENTATION OF BARNSTAPLE.—The repre sentation of Barnstaple has become vacant by the death of Mr. George Potts, who has sat for the borough since 1859.

Fraser, 199. Neither of the two candidates who were defeated on that occasion can offer himself for the present vacancy, Sir O. Stucley being at present High Sheriff of the county, asa Sir W. Fraser having been recently elected for the borough of Ludlow.

A NEW KIND OF MINIATURE, possessing apps- rent Solidity by means of a Combination of Prisms. is thus described by Mr. H. Swan.—By this invention is obtained a miniature ,representstion of the human form or other objects possessing the appearance of perfect solidity, the image being apparently imbedded in the thickness of small inclosed block of glass or crystal, thereby defining form and expression with a degree of accuracy unattainable in a flat portrait. This is effected by a new application of the principles of binocular vision employed in the ordinary stereoscope. A pair of transparent pictures (taken at an angle suitable for the ,effect intended) are produced by the ordinary photographic means. To effect the combination of these, the block of glass or quadrangular prism, in the interior of which the solid image is to appear, is composed of two rectangular prisms ground to an angle of about 5 9 deg. or 40 deg. These are placed together so as to'fo rut one solid quadrangular prism, divided lengthwise by a thin film of air. It one of the pictures be now placed at the back of this combination, and the other picture at the side, on attempting to look through the combination the two images will be superposed on each other (forming one solid image, apparently imbedded in the crystal), all the rays which fall on one side of a line perpendicular to the surface of the prism next the eye suffering total reflexion at the inner oblique surface of that prism, while nearly all those rays which fall on the other side of this line will be trans mitted, unaltered in direction, through the body of the com bination. Thus one of the eyes only perceives the object at the back of the prisms, while to the other eye the picture at um side is alone visible, and that lying apparently at the back also, producing the perfect a ppearance of solidity. It is evident that, to produce these results, care must be taken not only that the pictures are not misplaced so as to pro , duce the pseudo-scopie effect, but also that the picture which suffers reffexion shall be reverted to compensate for the reversion occasioned in reftexion.
