The Emperor NAPOLBON having just now re- turned from the south-western extremity of his empire to the capital, expectation is already beginning to be awakened in regard to the early meeting of the Chambers and the probability of some light being at length thrown through the bewildering haze by which his foreign policy has for a long while past, but more particularly of late, been enveloped. Glimpses of the inner mean ing of that policy have been caught, it is true, from time to time, affording even the general public a notion of its tendency at those rare moments. But the tendency of every foreign policy—no matter whether that of a despotism or of a democracy, of an oligarchy or of of a constitutional Government, necessarily and inevitably fluctuates with the fluctuations of the events of the hour. It is necessarily—prpettially —passing through a series of more or less appre- eiable modifications. Those well nigh incalculable variations—in a free and outspoken system of Go vernment like our own, We, the people, so governed are aware of, so t o spea k , almost i nterrup t e dly. Di are continually gaz i ng i nto the tu b e o f t h e Diplomatic Kaleidoscope. The interminable series of changes, both of colony and of form, there pre sented to view, are before us, as it might be said, always, are there, conspicuously visible, en permanence. With guar an t ee d lib erty of speech and of wprierti ing, with our unr es t r i cted liberty of the press, and with the absolute and unconditional independence accorded to our Parliament, it is necessarily, as we have here stated. Diplomacy, in our constitutional system of Government, could not be continued for any, even the briefest interval,upon the old, obsolete plan of secrecy and mystification, Popular feeling would not tolerate it. To a considerable extent it is tb.us nowadays, even with countries the most arbitrarily ruled. Nowhere is it so con snicuous, however, as it is in England. Among our neighbours it is partially thus already, but only, at the best, very partially. The EMPEROR has :conceded—(having had everything within his grasp after the coup d etat)—has volun tarily conceded a certain small proportion of freedom to the press, and a modified species of indep en d ence to the members of his Legislature. Thereby enabling the nation to catch at intervals the brief, or rather m o mentary g limpses of a foreign policy that must, otherwise, save when it gaited his, the EMPEROR'S, own will and pleasure, must have remained altogether inscrutable. If ever the truth in that matter can be dragged to light' it is while the Chambers are sitting. During the intervals between the sessions the journals left altog ether to themselves, are h guessing in the da rk. If ever the official journal, the 1110mteut, speaks out at these times, it only does so orscu ar l i s - or in other w ords q uite enigmaticall y , • As to the rest of the Paris journals it w ou l d b, difficult to say, i n spite of the unquestionable ability of man amo ngst them , of such distinguished people, for o rgans of the French example, as the Constitutionnel and the Journal des Debats, and of several others not necessary here to be particul ar i zsd, Gem as various and as widely con trasting their character, as at one extremity the ar dent and believing u n t • ", and at the other the frigid and incredulous Siecle—itiwould be difficult ;0 say 'which amongst them a can e. pronounced the and enunciator of th e thoughts in tentions of the governing power. A s much reliances e in this way, imagine, is n posed b y we should be dispos e d to the generality of the French public the utter. antes of La France, ev en , as i n the opinions forth in the swarms of politic a l pamphlets published over over the counter of M. DENTII. It is to the meeting of the Chambers that all look with eager curiosity—when diplomacy has become the most obscure, and when the juncture is just becoming the most momentous. Such a period having just now been reached, the, fat all times, eager and comprehern able curi osity of the French People is, in el manner, intensified the re-assembling of the Cham bers being looked for with more than ordinarily heightened expectation, now that the ,EMPEROR has, within the last few hours, returned from his autumnal repose at Biarritz to the Palace of St. Cloud. We have now before us the particulars of the new Constitution proposed for Denmark and Schleswig. The President, M. HALL, in introduc ing it to the Assembly, remarked that the reasons stitution had increased in st ren g th by r which necessitated a complete revision of the events eCeonnt oen s both at home and abroad. A s with us constitu tional and political ref orm a reformed Parliame nt ; so in Denmark the reor has always begun with ganisation of the Rigs the Rigsdag or 'liend is felt to be an indis pensable condition of a mended system of go. Parliament for the willbe done vern ment. It is con kingdomj c that prop er away w ith, or rather merged int of this littlehelargeras sembly The representative arrangements king dom are certainly in great need of simplification. A po pulation of less t han three millions has no le s s than eight assemblies ! There is the Rigsraad for Denmark -Schleswig; the Rigsdag for the king dom proper ; the separate estates for the two Duchies; other assemblies for Lauenbarg and the northern islands ; besides Colonial Councils for the Danish West Indian possessions. Such a cumbersome arrangement cannot fail to create confusion, and fosters that spirit of jealousy, rivalry, and inde pendence which has so greatly added to the per plexities of Danish rulers. The object proposed by the new system is, according to the President, " to strengthen the Risgraad sufficiently, not only to meet the great demands which the future may soon possibly bring with it, but also to enable it, in the course of time, to become the corner atone of our whole constitutional development." In order to attain this object it is considered necessary to in crease the number of members, and by means of the two chamber system to secure a due proportion alike of conservatism and liberalism. It is by its happy combination of these two elements that the English Constitution has secured its marvellous strength and durability. It avoids alike the de structive force of the headlong torrent and the dangers of the stagnant pool. It gives scope for the bold advancing spirits who help forward the progress of a people, at the same time that it affords the more stable and cautious an opportunity of tempering rash and hasty measures. Ths results have often excited the wonder and envy of foreign States, and in most countries where liberal principles prevail the political institutions of England are looked to as the model. In the Danish Rigsraad the object is to give a more liberal character to the Assembly, while retaining its present conservative elements. It is proposed to divide it into chambers under the appellations of Landsttring:and Folkettring, already known us constituent ports of the Rigsdag. The Landsttring, or Upper House, is to consist of 75 elected members, one third of whom are to be elected by the KING for a term of 12 years, while the remaining 50 are to he chosen by immediate vote in the larger elective districts, the franchise depending on au income of 1,200 rix dollars. The Folkettring is to have 130 members, divided like those of the other Assembly between Denmark and Schleswig, these members being elected by smaller elective districts. The conditions of the franchise prove the liberal spirit of the new constitution. " Every man of good repute, and holding the rights of a native, shall be in possession of the elective franchise for the Folkettring when he has completed his 30th year." The only modifications of this uni versal suffrage are the exclusion of servants not hav ing houses of their own, o 2 insolvents, and the con dition that the voter should not be in receipt of public relief, and should have had a fixed residence of one year within the district in which he resides at the time of the election. The same conditions are necessary to constitute voters for the Upper House, with the additional stipulation of the income referred to, which is only £132 of English money, or in its place, evidence of having paid to the State annual taxes of 200 rix dollars, or £22. The Assembly is to be convened by the KING every other year. He has also the power to prorogue it for a defined time, but not for longer than four months without the consent of the Rigsraad itself. This clause is an important guarantee of the liberties of the subject, and was perhaps learned from the history of the English civil war. The Danish language is to be employed for the resolutions, but the protocols are to be written both in Danish and German, and any member who chooses may address the Assembly in the latter. Section 43 is another of the important clauses, and decrees that any member can with the sanction of his chamber bring forward any public question, and challenge the Ministerial explanations. Such permissions as these augur well for the prospects of Danish Reform. They prove that the KING and his Ministers are sincere in their professions, and honestly intend to fulfil their promies. In place of fine writing and lofty dissertations on the theory of liberal government and the rights of I Liberty, Equality, Fraternity," the new bill goes straight t o the point , and defines in plain language the rights an d privileges of the people. Both Landsttring and Folkettrivg are likely to have enough to do if Germany fulfil her threat, but the brave little kingdom is still undaunted, and stands with resolute front refusing to abandon its rights. This is the moment for Constitutional England to step forward in its aid, and to forbid the occupation of the Duchies. It lies with us to retard the outbreak of that European war which, it seems, will not be much longer delayed, and into which we shall inevitably be dragged sooner or later. However cautious or pusillanimous our foreign policy may be, we can scarcely stand still to witness another State dismembered. Every small State weakened, divided, and absorbed into the shadow of some towering and aggressive neighbour is a lo ss t o th e general welfare tranquillity. The partition of Poland has cost us too dear to allow a repetition of it. Lord RUSSELL'S neu trality may be wise, cautious, and generally ad mirable, but at present it looks somewhat as if he was steering the country into a war with the Federal Government and with the German Con federation, besides alienatin g the Southern States . and disgusting his own people Truly an indus trious Foreign Secretary ! The Archduke AIAXIMILIAN's repl y to the Mexican deputation appears very sensible on the whole. He expresses himself frankly And fearhssly, and while ho offers hi s t a i nks to those why have pi oposed to do him the honour, he at the same time declares his intention not to act without due care and considera tion. 'This is acting with due caution, and all must agree that his prudence is most praiseworthy. H e that he is deeply touched c omme nces by stating by the wishes of the Mexican Assembly. "It can not but be exceedingly flattering for our House that t hey have turne d their eyes to the descendants of enAluiEs the FIFTH." This is a very suitable beginning, fcr the compliment is a great one, and as such sho uld b DUKE nextpa_sees duly appreciated. The ARCH ways of on to state that have bee n a d dress independence and the difficulties that lie in the is carrying o ut the proposals most addressed to him, welfare and remarks t hat, although it is a noble mission to maintain t he of Mexico "with free. institutions „d a solid fare oundati9n," it could 120 V, be a The following of the wishes of t he whole nation done effectually without the spontaneous expression sentence , however, may be regarded as the most s ignificant in th e whole address— " l mus t make m y acceptance of the throne dependent upon a plebiscite of the whole country ;" but the difficulty that lies in the way is, that it will be necessary for him to ask for guaran tees to protect Mexico against the dangers that threaten her " integrity and independence." If the guarantees are obtained, and the nation gives a universal vote in his favour, the ARCHDUKE con sents to receive the Crown if his brother, the Eet ',Elton, approves. There is good ground for all that is proposed and demanded in this reply ; but, at the same time, it must strike many readers that the suggestions are not very likely to be attended to, nor are the demands sure to be accorded. On the contrary, many and grave difficulties are in the way, and obstacles well-nigh insuperable in terpose themselves. Some persons had imagined that by this time all matters were satisfactorily arranged, and that the possession of the Crown of Mexico by the Archduke MAXIMILIAN was a settled affair. Jt is not so easy, however, to adjust the diffi • culties that arise in the consideration of a weighty undertaking, and nothing is so unwise and so im prudent as to jump at conclusions and rush at ven tures without taking time to mark and digest the pros and cons of the proceeding. The ARCHDUKE figures forth a very satisfactory programme of the style in which he will carry on the kingdom, if he is able to preside over its destinies. He announces it to be his firm intention to follow in the path of progress that was taken by his brother by esta blishing a constitution ; and, " after the complete pacification of the country to seal the fundamental laws by an oath." This is certainly arranging affairs in a wise manner; and taking the right view of the Government of a people and the rule of a State, thus, the ARCHDUKE truly adds, only can there be any chance of raising Mexico to a promi nent place among nations, and calling into existence a national policy, so that all parties might co-ope rate with him, and forget all disputes. These are noble sentiments to express, and any country would be fortunate who possessed a ruler willing and able to put such precepts into practice. Thus only can any real benefits be conferred and lasting g ood con ferred, when all concur from the highest to the lowest to tread the path of progress. One defini te act of reform, and one decided change in effete and worn-out constitutions, do more to remodel and re novate a State than hundreds of compromises and countless professions of liberty, which sound very well, but are never carried into effect. It i s said that, subsequently to the reading of the address, the ARCHDUKE, in conversation with the members Of the deputation, declared that he would not accept the Crown unless all these conditions were fulfilled. This is very probable, for his brief address rea d like the earnest and impressive avowal o f opinio n that would come from one who is decided an d determined regarding his own course, w hatever doubts and delays may obscure th e j u dgments o f others. He believes the co- o p erat i on o f France and England to be necessa r y th a t o rder m a y be re-established and secured. Thi s i s very like l y , and there does not appear any p ro b a bility that s uch assistance would be denied to hi m ; th e re wou ld be more likely difficulties in the wa y o f securing the first desideratum mentioned, namely, to obta in a manifestation of the wish of th e w hole nat ion. Whatever may be the result o f a ll this Mex ican deliberation it seems pretty evident that if the Archduke MAXIMILIAN goes out there as r uler, he will not be a roi _faineant. Oa th e contrary, he has given proof that he does not esteem it as any pri vilege to assume the reins of government without acting and feeling as if he w as th e presiding spirit of the country he was call e d u p on to rule, and the enlightened adviser of the people whose destinies was to be placed in his ha n d s . If an y politic al day dreamer fancied that th e new monarch w as to be a dispelled puppet, the address of S a t ur d ay w ill have that illusion at once and f or ever . It evidences i n the clearest manner that th e ARCH DUK E will not assume a position without power, and that be wishes that power to be a w e ll- secure d one. With these advantages he will be happy to do his best in the interest of the c ommun i ty h e i s called upon to govern, but without th em h e w ill relinquish the attempt, convinced that he retires from a n unequal struggle.

SECOND HAND TERROR AT A GHOST—as de picted inimitably by Henry Fielding in the chapter of Tom Jones, in which Partridge is taken to see David Garrick in " Ha mlet." —Fielding here describes with ad mirable clearness, says the London Review, the true func tion of a dramatic ghost. Partridge cares nothing for the ghost per se. He criticises his apparel, and is certain that "ghos*s don't appear in such dresses as that, neither." It was the genius of the actor that was to give the ghost all his terrors. Partridge was not to be persuaded by Tom Jones that the "man in the strange dress" was a ghost, but when Hamlet appeared, and saw the ghost, Fielding says that "Partridge gave that credit to Mr. Garrick which he had denied to Jones, and fell into so violent a trembling that ' - is knees knocked against each other." Jones asked him what was the matter, and whether he was afraid of the warrior on the stage ? " Oh, la I sir," said he, " I perceive now it is what you told rue. lam not afraid of anything, for I know it is but a play, and if it was really a ghost it could do no one no harm at such a distance, and in so much company ; yet if I was frightened I are not the only per son." " Why, who," cried Jones, " dost thou take to he such a coward here, besides thyself ?" " Nay, you may call me a coward if you will, but if that little man there upon the stage (Garrick) is not frightened, I never saw any man frightened in my life." Then Partridge's com mentary ou the colloquy between the Ghost and Hamlet shows how completely he was carried away by sympathy with the actor. " Ay, ay ; go:along with you! Ay, to be sure! Who's fool, then I Will you ? Lord have mercy upon such fool-hardiness I Whatever happens, it is good enough for you. Follow you! I'd follow the devil as soon, Nay, perhaps, it is the devil, for they say he can put on what likeness he pleases. Oh 1 here he is again I No farther ? No, you have gone far enough already— farther than I'd have gone for all the king's dominions." Jones offered to speak, but Partridge cried, "Hush, hush, dear sir I don't you hear him ?" And during the whole speech of the Ghost he sits with his eyes fixed partly on the Ghost, and partly on Hamlet, and with his mouth wide open. "The same passions," says the novelist, "which succeeded each other in `Hamlet,' succeeded likewise in hi m ." When the sc ene was over, J ones said, " Why, Par tridge, you exceed my expectation ; you enj oy t h e play more than I conceived possible." "Nay, sir," answered Par tridge, "if you are not afraid of th 3 devil I can't help it; but, to be sure, it is natural to be surprised at such things, though I know there is nothing in them ; not that it was the Ghost that surprised me neither, for I should have known that to be only a man in a strange dress; but when I saw the little man frightened himself, it was that w hi c h took lOU of me," LITERATURE, Treatise on Mills and Millwork. Part 11. By William Fairhairn, Esq., C.E., LL.D., F.R.S., F.G.S., One Vol., pp. 284. Longman and Co. In the World's History, we may rest assured, this last past half century will be ever borne in remembrance as emphatically The Age of Engi neering. Within its limits how much has been accomplished by the agency of this wonderful science, how many topographical and, even, it might be said without much extravagance, geogra phical transformations, have been effected—is now clearly visible far and wide over the earth's surface. The world-famous offer submitted for his accept ance to Alexander the Great, by the daring adulation of the sculptor who dreamt of carving Mount Athos into a Colossal Effigy of the Young Conqueror, holding in the palm of one hand a populous city, and under the palm of the other an urn, from the mouth of which a river should fl o w into the waters of the .2Egaean —has been immeasurably surpassed by, what may be called, so to speak, the every-day marvels effected by Modern Engineering. The obedient Geni of the Arabian Tales has been literally realised in a substantial shape by the wor.drous fabrication of the Steam Engine. The Fiery Dragon of the Fairy Tales again we have had actually chained to our own cars in the palpable form of our Locomotive. The network of iron, with which so large a part of the habitable globe is already covered, enables us, whensoever we list and whitherse.eyer we please, to travel as smoothly and as swiftly as the Persian seated on the magical square of carpet talked of by the Princess Scheherazade. Only that, in lieu of having to discover the square of carpet to sit upon, we have but to purchase for a few coins a tiny square of pasteboard to hold betwixt finger and thumb. Thanks to our modern engineer ing, not only are the seas, and oceans, and ocean, channels crossed to and fro continually, in despite of opposing winds and adverse tides, white the earth's surface is being traversed in the same astonishing manner, only with far greater speed, and with un erring punctuality—b u t the rivers are spanned in all directions, at almost any width or altitude ; the solid hills are pierced with tunnels; in one instance close at hand a double passage has been tunnelled with perfect success under a sandy river-bed ; and by the ingenious application of steam power to the accomplishment of almost every one of our manufactures, the labour of the human hand is being every day more and more 'effectually superseded by the far more delicate, rapid, and un erring labour of complicated pieces of mechanism, fabricated, it is true, by that same wonder working hand ! Almost the last of the Great En gineers by whose varied genius -these marvellous changes have been brought about, almost the last of the Great Engineers of this Great Age par excel lence of Engineering is the author of the book Lere submitted to our consideration. Professor Fair bairn's name will go down to after times together with the names of the noblest of his illustrious en gineering brother-workers, his co-operators and con temporaries. William Fairbairn has made good, long since, his claim to be regarded as one having a fair share in the merit of one of the most remark able masterpieces of Robert Stephenson, the tubular bridge at the Menai Straits. As one of the recog uised Nesters of Physical Science, he has presided in due turn, and it will long be remembered with con spicuous ability, over the annual proceedings of the British Association. As the clasps and medals, upon the breast of a warrior tell of the perilous feats by flood and field through which he has passed, so does the long string of symbolical initia:s appended to the name of William Fairbairn, tell quite as plainly, quite as significantly, of the good work done by him as a master of engineering. Besides those emblematic letters given above, at the heading of this notice, as being selected from the very pick of these initials, it should be here remarked as well, that, in addition to many other honorary titles conferred upon him by various learned bodies, and by various foreign nations, Professor Fairbairn is a Corresponding Member of the National Institute of France, and of the Royal Academy of Turin. And though without any star, or medal, or clasp, or ribbon as an Eng lishman, he wears the cross and the red silk at his button -hole as a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour. It is so far fortunate, however, that this distin guished veteran of the bloodless battle-ground of the science of Engineering, covered with these honours, and justified to the full, though he would have been in resting henceforth upon his well won laurels, has, nevertheless, toaed as assiduously in the collecting together of the materials of which this remarkable Treatise is composed—a treatise embodying so much of the fruits of his enlarged observation and practical experience ! A work that William Fairbairn, and William Fairbairn alone, was in any way qualified to have written. He himself tells us in his Preface—" MY professional career commenced just at a time when the manufacturing industry of the country was re covering from the effects of a long and disastrous war, and I was enabled, from this circumstance, to grow up with and follow out consecutively nearly the whole of the discoveries, improvements, and changes that have since taken place in mechanical science. These discoveries have been numerous and invaluable in contributing to the development of our i n d us t r i a l res ources, the d iff us i on of knowledge, and the e x t ens i on o f tra d e and commerce throughout the g l o b e. It will not be necessary to repeat what steam, gas, and electric telegraphs have effected both on sea and land in the same time, and how much we are indebted to these agencies for the abundant com forts, luxuries, and enjoyments which we now possess, as compared with the age in which our fathers lived. It will be found on inquiry that in mills, where these agencies are employed, and where t he manufacture of cotton, silk, fl ax, an d w ool are car ried on, are some of the el ements to w hich we are indebted for the numerous a d vantages which enter into the improved stat e o f oar soc i a l existence." It is to mills then, peculiarly and especially, that the learned author has here directed his attention —and by necessity, of Course, his reader's . Part One of this Treatise, al ready pu bli s h e d some time since by the Messrs. Lo ngman , em b o died within it a carefully compacted, an d yet at times a very de tailed, record of Prof essor F a i r b a irn's experiences, for close upon half a century, as a mill - arch itect, as a mill-Wright, and as a mechanical en g ineer. Part Two " follows suit" b y giving a minute and care fully exact descrip t i on of t h e mills themselves, of the millwork accomplished in them , and, g enerall y speaking, of the intri ca te and comp li c ated arrange ments incidental to the carr ying out of various of our leading m anu f actures. Th e Machinery of Trans mission, above all, i s described in this volume as only a master o f his subject and practice as a . mechanical one so largely s kill ed by engineer could well describe it. e Grander Tu Treatise, in f ac t, of w hich this comprehensive volume is part, g i ves us , in this portion itself, of it, ,f. a variety of mino r treat i ses , eac h complete in Treatises on Wh ee l s, on Shafts, on Couplings—on Architecture. S eparate the Engaging an d Disengaging of Gear—on Mill sec tions or chapters, more over, being he re devoted respectively to all the numerous kinds of mills now working, in more or less abundance, in different parts of the country — corn mills, silk mils, mills, c otton mills, woollen mills, oil mills, paper mills, and powder mills. The . whole work, or rather Part II of this highly elaborated Treatise upon Mills and Millwork supplemented with a brief bat admirebly succinct being account of—The Manufacture of Iron. 'That solitary addition it se lf might be particularised as a masterpiece of we ll- compressed and invaluable information, worthy of publication separately in the e form of a popula r h an dbook. I h whole work, how ever, is, in its way, i nva l u able —above all, to the busy and intelligent w or ld of our mechanical engineers, both young and old.

General Burnside has reached a point where he is expected to prevent a flank movement by the Confederates. Reports from Nashville assert that General Rosencranz's position is more favourable than is believed at the North. General Meade's army is moving transports, and are loading at Alexandria. Their destination is a matter of conjecture. An important Federal movement is also taking place on the line of the Baltimore and Ohio rail road. The Evening Post believes that the reinforcements sent from Virginia to Bragg have left Richmond nearly defenceless. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Money easy. Gold, 391 prem.

MARSEILLES, OCT, 6. The Messageries Imperiales steamer Peluse, with India and China mails, arrived here yesterday at 9.30 p.m. FRANCE. PARIS, OCT. 6. The Constitutionnel of to-day, in an article signed by M. Limayrac, condemns the exaggera tions of MM. Gueroult and Emile de Girardin, and says—" The Imperial policy knows how to ally prudence with firmness. It is incorrect to say France is responsible for the bloodshed in Poland. The Polish question has entered a new phase in consequence of the declaration of Earl Russell concerning the treaties of 1815. Upon this new ground France will do her duty as she has done in the recent negociations, and will not give way to passionate excitement. Conservative France has no more to fear an adventurous war under the nego tiator of the peace of Villafranca, than liberal France has to fear a compromising peace under the conqueror of Solferino." The Emperor and the Imperial Prince arrived on Sunday evening at Bordeaux, where they remained yesterday. They are expected in Paris to-day.

Torrents of rain had already swollen the river fords. and, as the men emerged dripping out of the water, the deafening thunder rolled in successive peals. and the lightning flashed out brilliantly, playing with remarkable vividness on the tops of the soldiers' bayonets and the scabbards of the marching cavalry. In the rtiidst of this crash of the elements, the whole of the column, cavalry and infantry, gained an uncomfortable bivouac very late. An unusually vivid flash of lightning killed some men, and so frightened the horses of the cavalry, that they broke loose from their pickets and, galloping wildly across the country, were mistaken in the obscurity for patrols of the enemy. But this dispersion of the frightened and riderless horses added to the awful effect of the tempest, and was altogether a scene ever to be remembered. PORTRAIT OF LORD BROUGHAM FOR THE PAR LIAMENT HOUSE, EDINBURGH.—Some time since the Lords of the Court of Session and the members of the Scottish Bar resolved to have painted a full-length original portrait of Lord Brougham, to be placed in Parliament House, Edinburgh ; and conferred the honour of executing the commission on Mr. D. Macnee. Lord Brougham, on being apprised of the selection. intimated with much cor diality his readiness to give every facility to the artist ; and the picture, as it nuw appears, represents his lordship hold ing in his left hand a document or copy of an address, and, with his right hand extended, he seems to be in the act of addressing a deputation with much earnestness. Lord Brougham's robes as a Peer of the realm are represented as thrown over a table on the background, while the rich gold embroidered purse of a Locd Chancellor of England lies on a cushion at his feet, indicating the high political and judi cial office which his lordship had filled. Two busts are seen behind the main figure on the canvas, which any one will recognise in a moment as those of his lordship's old friends, James Watt and the Duke of Wellington ; and these, we believe, have been introduced by Lord Brougham's special suggestion. The other accessories are entirely in keeping with the subject, and of a singularly graceful character. A SUBSTITUTE FOR COAL.—There is in Trinidad, only a mile Iron) the coast, a basin of 99 acres filled with asphalt, yielding 70 gallons of crude oil per ton. There are also springs of asphaltic oil in the neighbourhood, and large pitch banks off the shore. It is estimated that the take is capable of producing 300,000,000 gallons of oil, and 40 or 50 gallons are consLered equal to a ton of coal. The Trinidad Colonist publishes a snemoire by Mr. Stoll meyer, of Port of Spain, proposing the use of this liquid fuel for oceanic steam navigation, and he states that he has been at various times for these three years suggesting the employment of a distillate from the pitch lake of Trinidad. To oil a ship would not take above a tenth of the time it takes to coal her if pipes were employed, and the oil would not take above a fourth of the space occupied by coals. He recommends that it be applied at once as auxiliary to coal by throwing jets over the burning mass, but contemplates eventually upright tubular boilers, the liquid fuel to be supplied as fast as it can be converted into flame. Of course the North American oil springs are another source of supply. A WILD-FLOWER SHOW is spoken r,f as a pro bable novelty in London, THE QUEEN IN SCOTLAND. BALMORAL, Oct. 2.

His Majesty, it will be remembered, Leh Den mark on the 17th ultimo, accompanied by Count Sponneck, and proceeded to St. Petersburg, where he arrived on the 20th, and remained for six days. During his visit, he went to Cronstadt, where, un der the guidance of Gen. Todleben, he examined the whole of the defensive works of that fortress. The young king was received with great cordiality by the Emperor, and was highly delighted with his visit. On leaving St. Petersburg, his Majesty proceeded to Rumpenheim, on a visit to his relatives resid ing there, and, after a stay of a few days, continued his journey to Brussels, where he arrived on Satur day morning last, and immediately proceeded to the Hotel de Belle Vue, where apartments had been engaged for his accommodation. Several gentlemen of the King's suite, amongst whom were Baron de Gueldencrone, Professor A. L. Koepen, Dr. Phile mon (secretary), Captain Funek, and Captain Leth, preceded his Majesty to Brussels, and received him on his arrival. Many distinguished Greeks also ar rived at Brussels to present their homage to their new Sovereign, and were at once graciously and cor dially received. Amongst these gentlemen may mentioned M. Christopoulos, formerly Minister. During Saturday there was an interchange of visits between his Hellenic Majesty and the Bel gian royal family, and in the evening there was a grand banquet at the palace. Besides the King of the Belgians and the King of the Greeks, with the gentlemen composing his suite, there were pre sent—The Duke and Duchess of Brabant, the Count of Flanders, the Archduke Joseph of Austria (brother to the Duchess of Brabant), Baron Hugel (the Austrian Minister), the Minister of Denmark, and several other gentlemen holding official posi tions. His Majesty visited many of the principal manufacturing establishments in Brussels during Saturday, and remained in that city till yesterday morning, when at six o'clock he travelled by rail way to Calais. His Majesty left the French port about half-past one on board the London, Chatham, and Dover Com pany's new vessel,the Samphire,which steamed across to Dover in one hour and 26 minutes. His Majesty was attended across the Channel by Lieut. Morgant R.N., the naval superintendent of the company, and was received on his arrival at Dover by the Greek Consul-General, M. lonides ; General Sutton, com manding the garrison ; Capt. Triscott, R.N., Admi ralty superintendent, &c., and after partaking of lunch at the Lord Warden Hotel, proceeded by special train en the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway to Victoria Station.

His Majesty arrived at the Victoria Station punctually at six o'clock—the special train performing the journey in two hours and 10 minutes. A telegram received in London yesterday morn ing announced that the young King would arrive at six o'clock. This intelligence was soon circu lated through the Greek community resident in London, and had the effect of attracting to Victoria Station a great number of ladies and gentlemen who were anxious to witness the arrival of their sovereign. Amongst those present were Mr. Pandie Ralli, Mr. St. Z zimes, Mr. M. Rodocanachi, Mr. Xenos, Mr. Cavafy, Mr. Ziffo, Mr. James Wyld, M.P., one of the vice-presidents of the Philhellenic Committee, and Mr. Stefanos Xenos, the hon. secre tary, &c.

On alighting from the carriage his royal highness was immedi ately recognised by the ladies and gentlemen pre sent, and was loudly and heartily cheered. In a few minutes after the arrival of the Prince of Wales the royal train conveying the King of the Greeks drew up at the platform, and as soon as his Majesty made his appearance he was received most enthusi astically, loud shouts of Virco Vrco (Long life!) re sounding from all sides, the ladies not being the least demonstrative in their behaviour. His Majesty seemed a little surprised at the warmth of the greet ing, but immediately bowed in acknowledgment, and was then introduced to some of the gentlemen present. The King was received by Lord Harris, the deputy-chairman of the railway company, and by Mr. J. S. Forbes, the general manager. Without any delay his Majesty and the Prince of Wales took their seats in the royal carriage which had conveyed his royal highness to the station, and pro ceeded to Marlborough House, where he will be a guest during his stay in London. The young monarch, who will not attain his 18th year till the 24th of next December, locked some what pale, and far from so rob ist as our own Prince of Wales. He was dressed in the European costume. Immediately after his Majesty's arrival, M. Alex. lonides, the Greek Consul. General, telegraphed to Athens, announcing to the Provisionary Govern ment the safe arrival of his Majesty at the English stage of his journey. We understand the presentation of the address t 3 his Mnjesty from the Greek residents in London will take place at Marlborough House on Thursday next. Other addresses will be presented to his Ma jesty by deputations of the Greek residents at Man chester and Liverpool. His Majesty will visit the Queen at Balmoral, and will leave England next week for Paris.

Samson's, has recently appeared in Corneille's " Cinna,"—with what result we have not yet heard.

STRANGE VEGETABLE LUXURlES—described by a Gourmand in the Spectator.—Take a fat cabbage stalk, scrape it till nearly rcund, leave it all night in cold water, and next day cook and serve it like vegetable mar -1 ow, and then send us a letter of thanks for a new, a cheap, and a most delicious addition to dinner. If at the same time readers will recollect that the plantains now so largely imported into our market are so badly ripened that they ought to be fried in long slices, they will have two receipts well worth the trouble of reading this. THE ENGLISH DOWAGER, Mr. Nathaniel Haw thorne wickedly describes in his "Our Old Home," as one with " awful ponderosity of flame, not pulpy like the looser development of our few fat women, but massive with solid beef and streaky tallow, so that (though struggling manfully with the idea) you inevitably think of her as made up of steaks and sirloins"—adding, " When she walks, her advance is elephantine. When she sits down, it is on a great round space of her Maker's footstool, where she looks as if nothing could ever move her."

The bridegroom, who was a widower, has children and grandchildren living. Love is proverb!ally blind, and it cannot be said that the bridegroom upon this occasion has rushed into matrimony with his eyes open.

By this time a great number of persons had collected about the church gates. On leaving the church John was accompanied by both wives, one ou each arm. In this way they proceeded to the Grange, their in tended place of residence, followed by two or three hundred children. On arriving the old wife was not allowed to enter to partake of the good things provided. The new wife, who is of prodigious size, pushed her out and belted the doer.--• .A 7 elfeqsl4 Chronicle, reg stoc alr( wit 3 tc gra —I inn( a 61 hav Gre los, mod not( in t dee] Indi, Di Di Di Di Di Ban] Cone Indi Exci Di Di Aas Brat Gre( Di Gua Itali Alex Moo New Pert Port Rus; Sarc Spa; Di spar SW e Ttari Yen 13elg Dut( Fret Itali cons Di Q Pre,
