IL GLhNIE, NEWS AGENT, No. 4, Connaught-terrace, Hyde-park. LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPT. 6, 1864. The manner in which our military and naval prize money is distributed, or rather not distri buted, has long been a standing grievance to the members of both services. The question has often been mooted in Parliament, and neither the press nor the public has spared its censures, but the matter remains is the old state. Notwithstanding our army of officials, our countless clerks and assistants, our well-paid heads of departments and their numerous train of subordinates, it remains an affair of years instead of weeks to make oat a simple calculation, and to distribute a limited sum among a limited number of claimants. It is now seven years since the capture of Dhar Fort, iu which feat about 2,000 men were concerned—no very great number for a subdivision. It is lucky that the Chancellor of the Exchequer gets on a little faster with his calculations, or we should be this year considering the budget of 1820. Bat the authorities have at length succeeded in act- complishing a large part of their formidable un dertaking. In December, 1862, her Majesty's warrant was issued for payment of the Dhar Pr ice money. In the May following it was paid out to those who were entitled to it in India, so that one would naturally suppose the business was nearly done. But it was necessary to pause after so great and continuous an effort, and accordingly some hundreds of the men interested who are now in England have not yet received their money. Day after day, and month after month, have they looked for it with the weariness of hope deferred, but as yet they cannot even learn when they are likely to ge t it. They are told on applying at the War Office that the returns are not yet received, but that when they are the money will be paid. With whom lies the blame of this delay ? If the warrant vas issued nearly tvro years ago there is certainly nJ excuse on the ground of inability. If the money has already been paid to the men in India, it must be known what each share amounts to ; in fact, that knowledge has already reached the ex- psctante, who have ascertained that each private'i, share is over 1.:40—n0 inconsiderable sum to a man in humble life. Some of them have left the service on account of wounds, enfeebled health, 8.7c, 7 and many of these fiod it a hard matter to obtain em ployment. Such a sum as this would put them in the way of gaining a living, and would in any case be most acceptable, When we remember the frightful revelations of the Commission as to the mortality and sickness among our troops in India we shall feel it especially incumbent on us to see that the men have all the advantages that they have fairly earned in the course of that service which has cost them so much. A private soldier whose health has been broke❑ by his term of service in India, and who, if he survives to reach this country is nevertheless invalided fo: lire, muss naturally feel it a great hardship to be kept out of his money without anyreasonable pretext whatever. Setting aside the unwarrantable delay which oc curred between the capture of the fort and the distribution of the spring before last, there can be no possible excuse for waiting twelve or fifteen months before giving the men in England (who probably need it the most) the portion which properly belongs to them. Such ungracious acts as these make our service unpopu lar ; they disgust the men, who feel as if they were kept out of their rights, and make them suspicious that the real object of delay is the hope that the claimants will die off. Certainly, with an annual death rate of 09 per 1,000, se ven years would make a considerable change in a body of 2,000 men, but the principle is carried out in every latitude and in every department of the united services, It is quite time that a better system was in augurated, and that our men were made to feel that their claims, when just, were as promptly and readily acknowledged as those of their superiors. Our Indian veterans have had good reason in seve ral instances to complain of the treatment which they have received, and the tardy and unwilling recognition of their services. The grand achieve • rents of HAVELOCK'S army and their fellows in the great struggle of 1857 were apparently forgotten by the authorities when the dispute arose . about the transfer of the Company's troops to the QUEEN'S service. The men might have had no official claim to the bounty, but it was a harsh and ungracious act on the part of a wealthy country to refuse it to men who had borne and achieved so much. It would have been easy to have pointed out to them that it was granted as a matter of grace, not as a right, and that the authorities were willing to stretch a point in their favour in consideration of their services. The ques= lion was one into which a thought of precedent could not enter, being so entirely an exceptional case. That paltry saving disgusted many of our best men, who refused to re-enlist, and cost the country considerably more in the transport of troops than the bounty would have done. It is quite time that these things were looked to if we hope to main tain the spirit and efficiency of our army, and to keep up its popularity among the people. AU that tends to raise the character of the work ing men is eminently worthy of support. It is a proud characteristic of this country that the work ing population of the community occupy so elee vated a position, and are so thoroughly indepen dent. The petty interference and the great re strictions that abound abroad are totally unknown here, and the working man of England has his rights and privileges that appertain to his order as clearly marked out and as well secured as those of the afflaent merchant or possessor of rank and title. This is as it should be, it is an integral part of our social system that foreigners have admired but utterly failed to understand, and that right thinking members of society have always appreciated and recognised as essential to the welfare of the State. There have been of late some Working Men's Exhibitions, and these are specially worthy of notice, for they reveal a cha racter that is to be respected. These affairs are entirely self-emanating, they do not spring from patronage nor take their rise from a fancied attempt at display, but they are entirely the con sequence of the resolutions of their immediate agents. It is fit and proper that they who .are the foundation and the mainstay of the greatness and the wealth of the land should occasionally come prominently forward and exhibit them selves in their true colours as sentient and primer dial agents, not as mere machines or instruments, no matter how extensive the one nor how fine the other. It appears, then„ upon taking a comprehensive view of the matter, that this incident of Working Men's Exhibition has a significance that cannot be passed over, end possesses a claim on our regard that may not be gainsaid. At the great exhibitions the masters necessarily came forward and received the guerdon of their merits in the token of appro vals vouchsafed by the judges of the competitive displays. The men were rather disappointed at being so completely in the background, but the old adage that one sows that another may reap was true there as elsewhere. It is but just that the other side of the page be turned, and that those busy workers in the hives of human industry should manifest themselves, and appear from amidst the shade that unavoidably is often cast over their careers. There have already been two of these dis plays, and a third is forthcoming. This continua tion proves that it is no mere illusion that has given rise to the suggestion, and no evanescent outbreak of enthusiasm, because the effort would have expended itself before this had such been the case. It is at once curious and interesting to trace 1 the progress of these endeavours from the outset to the conclusion. In studying these details the looker-on may learn more than he bargained for at the outset, for there is ample evidence and abun dant illustration contained therein of the spirit and genius of the country. The chief difficulty wa s the want of necessary funds to defray inevitable expenses, but in this dilemma the projectors copied their illustrious predecessors, th e promoters of the Great Exhibition, and among themselves guaranteed a certain sem to cover any risk incurred by losses that might supervene. The course of the affairs is arrangad by a committee, so that it is evident that a general system pervades the whole, and that due earn and caution are observed in the proceedings. lndepends coca is the watchword of the affair, and thus no assistance is asked, but all voluntary contributions are accepted. This is just the right way to adopt, since it avoids churlish isolation and dependent in security. The object of all such industrial exhibi tions should be to unite interests apparently diverse, and to awaken sympathies that are the sure and strong support of society. This circumstance of the working men combining to render themselves conspicuous by their attainments is a proof that needs no comment. Those who could not take part in them have yet, in some degree, caught the spirit of emulation which it was their great object to inspire, and have ime bibed the desire to excel, which it was the primeval purpose of the affair to promote. It must be cons ceded that so far the results of the great national undertakings have surpassed the expectations and exceeded the desires of their founders. To instil an elevated idea into the minds of the working men, to infuse the notion that work contains a glorious privilege, as well as an imposin g burden that ca nnot be shaken off, is something to have Effected t hat cannot be too greatly prized nor too lightly valued. Another point worthy of at tention in the affair, is that, it is really the produce of the exhibitors which is put forward. In most cases, too, this result is only accomplished by sedulous efforts on the part of the manufacturer of the exhibited article. Generally it is only after the day's work is done that the time can be spared, thus it is a genu i ne love of the thing which calls forth the effort. There is more likelihood of the undertaking prospering when it is carried on by those who have to make sacrifices for its support, because their wishes are true and C. , it desires are half the way towards carrying on the work. The poet has said— " The heights by great men reached and kept, Were not attained by sudden flight; But they while their companions slept, Were toiling upwards in the night," This may prove as true in the lower walks of life as in the higher, and the more the great principle is recognised that ability and educa• tion make the distinction in society the greater will be the efforts made to rise in the social scale. It is a moral reflection for a man to dwell upon, that the history of his country is the record of the bravery and services of his ancestors, but it is equally honourable for an isolated individual to know that he has risen by his own e7ertions, and carved himself a place alike conspicuous and ad mired. It is also most praiseworthy if, without attaining any particular distinction, or Belaying any remarkable object, the working man of this country can be of note among his immediate circle, and by industry, temperance, and honest pride in his own efforts, render himself a credit to the com munity and an honour to his order, and thus pur sue his labours in the state to which he has been called in the favour of GOD and of man. The Wizard of the north at St. James's Hall. The best public entertainer—Professor Ander son, the Great Wizard of the North—after a pro longed absence of more than seven years, reappeared last night at St. James's Hall, Piccadilly, and met with the most enthusiastic reception. That an overflowing audience would assemble on the occa sion could not be for one moment doubted, for who could question the attracting power of those dab°a rate and enormous posters issued by the Wizard, and which have illustrated the leading. thorough fares of London for the last few weeks. The professor in his inaugural address enters at length into the matters that have occupied his attention during the period of his absence, all of which have been for the improvement of this entertainment. He says— " Seven years of study, observation, and travel, have been spent with these ends in view. That which the fertile and inventive genius of the French could suggest in Paris—the industrious research of the German contribute on the land of the Teuton— the far-famed skilfulness displayed by the Hindoo in British India—the mystic powers of the Arab beneath the shadow of the Pyramids, the magical resources of the Marabouts of Algeria—the secrets known to the aborigines of Australia, Tas mania, and New Zealand—the religious cabalistic rites of the inhabitants of the Society and Sandwich Islands—and lastly, the mechanical talent of the heterogeneous population of Americans, English, Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, and Polynesians, assembled in California, have all been enlisted, so as to render the amusement one of the most cosmo politan extraordinary, and complete of any in modern or past times." The press nt entertainment is entitled the " World of Magic," and or. the open ing of the curtain the stage, or, as the, Wizard calls it, the " psychomantheum," is discovered most gorgeously fitted with an endless number of magical apparatus, all of polished silver; the back ground is formed by a crimson velvet curtain showered with golden stars, and the whole is illuminated in Cee most briAliant and fantastic manner. Having acknowledged the flittering recep tion in a few but telling sentences, the Pro fessor at once proceeds with his magical operations, which excite alternately wonder and surprise. Al though some of the tricks have been before per formed by the Wizard in London, yet, in most in stances, various additions to them have been made, which almost make them novelties. The wonderful trick with the witches' eauldron was capitally exe outed, and the conversion of three or four pails of water into innumerable pigeons, guinea pigs, &c., created the utmost delight. Then, again, into what glee did those of the audience who had not lent their halts witness the Wizard make a Christmas plum pludding in that of him who had been good cnougl, to oblige the Wizard with the loan of his. As planes, sugar, currant, spice, and lemon peel were successively thrown in the laughter was immense, but when the eggs and water were added the merriment became uproarious. The delicious com pound, however, was speedily produced smoking hot from the aforesaid chapeau, which, after being carefully brushed, was handed back to its owner perfectly uninjured by the operation. Then we had the Wizard's scrap-book, a portfolio about six inches in thickness, from which emerges the Professor's youngest daughter, a pretty cage of canaries, a live goose, two rabbits, ar.,cl last, though not least, a travelling trunk thrice the size of the portfolio itself. These astonishing tricks were quickly followed by others, and then came the expose of table rapping. The Wizard's table did everything he desired, and after a terrific onslaught on the believers in spiritualism the Professor, to show his disbelief in the monstrous deception, said he would pa, down a thousand pounds to any " medium" - who could produce a single rap on his table. Oi course the challenge was not accepted ; it still remains open to all who wish to try for the goldem prize. This part of the entertainment pro dr,ced the greatest delight, and nothing could ex ceed the enthusiasm of the audience as the table rapped out" good night" and marched off rapping time to the celebrated chorus in Figlia del Iteggi menti." An interval of five minutes having elapsed the principal porticra of the second part of the entertainment vvr..s a display of the extraordinary powers of Miss Anderson, who seems to be endowed with the F:at of seeing through deal boards and stone walls. A variety of small articles, twenty. seven in number, collected from amongst the audience, having been securely fastened in an opaque envelope, and placed at the extreme end of the hall, the Professor led forward his daughter, a young lady of the most agreeable manners, and placed her in a chair on the stage. A bandage having been placed over the young lady's eyes, she then, without the slightest difficulty, and without a single question being put to her, gave a perfectly , accurate description of the whole of the miscellane ous items contained in the packet. There was no hesitation and no mistake, as each person who had lent an article at once claimed it from the lady's description. To us this and the succeeding feat seemed the roost astonishing. By way of testing the young lady's memory a variety of words suggested by the audience, such, far instance, as syllable., gregarious, idiosyncrasy, idiomatio, and Constantinople, were at once spelled forwards and then backwards with the greatest rapidity, and without the slightest mental labour. The applause was some:ding extraordinary, and certainly the young 1.,e1y really deserved all that she received. The ritertainment of the Wizard of the 'North is as le. pique as ever, and we doubt not he will :tat which he is er.titled to—a long and prosperoushavet season. THE SUN, LONDON', TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 6, 1864, The Secretary of the Dramatic College. He-christened " TIIE AGE," and (when so re-chris tened) taking as its Shaksperian motto, "The very Age and Bodyof the Time," Tcdlis's Theatrical and Musical News pays this week a well-deserved tribute of praise to the indefatigable Secretary of tte Dramatic College—Mr J. W. Anson—himself, is his time, an actor of considerable ability as a low comedian, always the friend of his brother profes sionals, and now the treasurer of the New Adelphi Theatre. "Mr Anson," says The Age," was bore I in the parish of Marylebone, on the 31st of July, 1817. As an actor he has figured conspicuously on many occasions in low comedy characters; but his reputation is chiefly based upon the untiring and highly creditable manner in which he has sought to alleviate the d'stress of his brother and sister artistes when old ago ant sickness oppress them, In con nection with the charities of the profession his name is, and ever must be, nearly associated. His whole life has been a long effort to benefit his pro fession, and in the character of a benefactor of his associates of the drama, he has earned a name which can never die. He is now the treasurer of the New Adelphi Theatre, and a dramatic agent of the highest repute." The paper from which the above extract has been taken, is accompanied with an ad. mirably life-like portraiture of the Aldelphi Trea surer and the Dramatic College Secretary, LAT I k ¶INTELLIGENCE (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

Sir,—Scotland has derived immense benefit from her union with England; but there are several ce the institu tions of Scotland which it would bo for the benefit both of England and Ireland to adopt. ol i t andde u othert deputy-lieutenants, -u li e borought en an t s, j I shall now only notice one — the manner in which the counties of Scotland a re o r ganised under sheriffs appointed and uswt i r paid o havei b yti the Scotland t e h p e e aCrown,ca,provosts, lord-lieutenants, eu n baffles,e ants magistrates—the same as in England and Ireland. But all these are subordinates to the sheriff, who in times of difficulty and danger takes upon ,himself the whole charge and the whole responsibility. The sheriff in this respect may be compared to the captain of a man of-war, who in ordinary times leave the care of the vessel to the master and the lieutenants, but who when danger ap proaches, the whole shape w th h e o le em of au th d e en b d rattelespoornetihhielitgy.ale, at once assumes Each Scotch county has its sheriff, and every sheriff is a barrister and a gentleman ; and almost all of them, I will take upon myself to say from my own knowledge, are men of judgment, coolness, and intrepidity. Tho eberiffs do no.; in general reside in their counties ; but they are bound to repair there immediately when there is the slightest ap prehension of disturbance, and to remain till all danger of commotion is over. They have the most extensive powers, and take the direction of the local police as well as the military in the neighbourhood, who are always; sent in aid upon their requirement, Now let us suppose a riot to take plane a t Glasgow, such as that w hi c h l a t e ly o ccurred at Belfast, an d let us see how it would be dealt with. Sir Archibald A lison is the Sheriff of Lan ar k s hi re, i n w hi c h Gl asgo w is situat ed. I have the pleasure of being acquainted with Sir A r chibald both per sonally and by character, and I know exactly how he would act in :such circumstances. H e would summon the He would no t a ll ow e i t h er P police an d t h e military toget her. Ile would mount upon horseback, place himself at the h ea d of the force beside the officer commanding, and take the direction of the whole, p rovost or bailie to interfere, but would act himself, assuming the whole responsibility, and would not hesitate to order a charge both of cavalry and infantry if h e considere d this neces sar y for the preser vation of the pe ace . I un dertake to sa y that had suc h a riot been attempt e d a t Gl as gow as occurred the other day at Belfast, it would h ave b e en Put down by Sir Archibald who wouldtakeNow, h contrast d ontrast Alison in five minute s , an d would n ot have been allowed to shoagain.w ea this manner of bacritiootns a t with E tehl Belfast I s t b r i sho both o thede. During the whole period of tli Lord Lieutenant and the ChiefiSonlrreetlaarnya were absent, and there was no man of authority n upon himself the responsibility of acting with deci s i on . There was nothing but surprise, hesitation, and timidity ; and the riots were allowed to run their course without any effectual interference. The Mayor of Belfast sets off to Harrowgate to drink the waters, and does not return till all is over, The Lord-Lieutenant of the county does nothing, and contents himself with abusing the Mayor, and telling him in so many words that he is a driviller —to which the Mayor replies—You are another. Would it not, I ask, be for the benefit of Ireland that the expensive jobbing and useless Lord Lieutenancy should be done away with, and that Ireland should be placed, like Scotland, directly and immediately under the Imperial Go vernment ; and that, in compensation, county sheriffs should be appointed and paid by the Crown, having the same powers and the same duties as these of Scotland ?

LITERATURE. he British Quarterly Review. Part LXXIX. The first article in the British Quarterly dis cusses the much vexed questions concerning the Pentateuch and Bishop Colenso in a learned spirit. It is followed by a very interesting article on re cent Alpine experiences, fall of romantic adventure and exciting description. The reviewer does full justice to M. de Immure, who encountered so many difficulties in achieving the summit of Mont Blanc. He camped out for four nights on the snows of the great mountain, carrying on his scientific observations. Nor are the notices of the work of Mr John Ball, late president of the Alpine Club, of the Rev. S. N. King's " Italian Valleys of the Pennine Alps," and Mr Tyndall's "Mountaineering in 1861" less interesting to the lovers of nature in her highest solitudes. The scenes beheld and the dangers encountered seem to raise elle mind beyond the wonders of belief. Take, for instance, the following description of Dr Tyndall's emo dons when standing on the summit of the Weisshorn after a day of unusual danger : —" An influence seemed to pro cued from the scone direct to the soul; the delight and exultation experienced were not those of Reason, or of Knowledge, but of Being. 'Twas part of it, and it of me ; and in the tranecendant glory of Nature I entirely forgot myself as man. Suppose the sea waves exalted to nearly a thousand times their normal height, crest them with foam, and fancy yourself upon the most commanding crest, with the sunlight from a deep blue heaven illuminating such a scene, and you will have some idea of the form un der which the Alps present themselves from the summit of the Weisshorn. East, west, north, south, rose those ' bil lows of a granite sea' back to the distant heaven, which they backed into an indented shore. I opened my note book to make a few observations, but I soon relinquished the attempt. There was something incongruous, if not profane, in allowing the scientific faculty to interfere where silent worship was the reasonable service." The " Chap ter from the History of Science," by George Henry Lewes, gives an analysis of Aristotle's scientific writings, which is full of interest and information. In speaking of the homage paid to the philosopher in his own time, Mr Lewes reminds us that when Philip of Macedon invited him to undertake the education of the youthful Alexander, the King thanked the gods that his son lived in the same age as the great stagirite. The account of the British Post Office, from the earliest time down to Sir Rowland Hill's retirement, will be found full of singular events in its progress from the Weekly Post to the express train. Those who wish to know some. thing of the marvels of its working should read Mr Lewin's pleasant volume, and more especially his animated descrip tion of the scene at St. Martin's-le-grand from 5.45 to 6 o'clock daily. The newspaper window is of course the busiest, and the boys in charge of the sacks are foremost in the turmoil. "As six o'clock approaches still nearer and nearer, tha turmoil increases more perceptibly, for the in telligent British public is fully alive to the awful truth that the Post-office officials never allow a minute of grace, and that Newspaper Fair must be over when the last stroke of six is heard. One, in rush piles of laggard boys, who have purposely lingered in the hope of getting a little plea surable excitement; two, and grown men hurry in with their last sacks; three, the struggle resembles nothing so much as a pantomime melee ; four, a Babel of tongues voci ferating desperately; five, final and furious showers of papers, sacks, and bags; and six, when all the windows fall like so many swords of Damocles, and the slits close with such a sudden and simultaneous snap, that we natu rally suppose it to to a part of the Post-office operations that attempts should be made to guillotine and score off lames ; and then all is over so far as the outsiders are con cerned." The Blind Letter Office, where all illegible or ill-addressed letters are sent, is one of the curiosities of the establishment. Here are specimens which might puzzle the most experienced of the sharp-eyed and sharp-witted clerks who have to guess at the directions : " Uncle John Hopposite the church London, Hingland." "John Thomas Coneyach lunentick a-einem." " Ash Berlles in such for John Horse!, grinder in the County of Lestysheer." The schoolmaster, it would seem, has not yet completed his rounds, and the unavoidable mistakes are as numerous as the blunders from ignorance. The Dead Letter Office, which once employed two clerks, now keeps nearly fifty, and more than two millions of letters were last year re turned to their writers. All this labour is not undertaken without profit, judging by the statistics. The Australian Post Office produces a revenue of 3,714,200 florins, or L 378,000 ; the Belgian, 2,960,000 francs ; the French, 66,452,000 francs; and the English, £3,800,000; being more than a quarter of a million beyond the proceeds of 1862. " The Navy, Past and Present," is a paper that does justice to the Admiralty for its stubborn resolve to be always too late in doing the right thing.- " When steam ships of war," says this writer, " were manifestly becoming the fleet of the future, the Admiralty was assi duously multiplying sailing vessels. W hen iron had superseded wood, the Admiralty was crowding its dock yards with enormous stores of timber; and when subsequently condemned for continuing the erection of wooden ships, its members replied that as they had wood on hand they might as well use it." The financial manage ment has been on a par with the rest. The commissioners reported that in one dockyard " there were no fewer than 7,900 errors in the accounts within eight months, in sums ranging from id to £490; that an item of £1,200 for labour was charged twice, and one of £5,210 was not charged at all." So much for Admiralty finance I "Lawrence Sterne" is a manly and straightforward estimate of the character of our English Rabelais—the famous Yorick who once kept the dinner tables of London in a roar. The author of Tristram Shandy was a singular and wayward character, but not in all respects so bad as he was sometimes painted. " The Frescoes of the Houses of Parliament" is an article imbued with individual views; still it stands up gallantly for more liberality to the great workers on the walls of legislative assemblies. The singular contrast in our na tional character—liberality in profusion to the people of a purely commercial or combative turn, and the extreme of meanness to men of genius, is cuttingly but deservedly ex posed and is warmly condemned. " Bluff Harry," says the censor, "rebuked a courtier for insulting Holbein. Out of seven peasants I could make as many lords, but it is out of my power to make one Holbein. In a similar spirit we would address the Government." Among the other articles is an essay on the English writers before Chaucer which discusses at some length the early origin and future progress of our literature. Altogether the number is a very interesting one. Can You Forgive Her ? By Anthony Trollope. No. IX, Chapman and Hall. One touch of kindly human feeling has at last come to us out of this current serial of Anthony Trollope's—one touch of it, at last—but only in the ninth instalment ! And it comes,this tardy indication of kindly human feeling, from that hitherto " double dummy" of a " walking gentleman," John Grey of Nethercoats! From his suggesting to Alice's father that she, Alice, had bett er b e a ll owe d to give every shilling of her fortune to her worthless,worldly, turfy affianced (re-affianced, it should be said) cousin, George Vavasor. Mr. Grey is asked by that hardly less cold-hearted worldly minded Mr. Vavasor (Alice's father, that is), "And what is she to do then ?" Here comes the touch of nature, "Then—then—then—then let her come to me," said John Grey, as he speaks (we are told), " the fragment of a tear in his eye, the accent of a quiver in his voice !" Even old John Vavasor's worn-out, unsympathetic nature is touched says the author while relating the incident—" God bless you! God bless you, my dear fellow r being his instant cx. clamation. And after all we suppose that is just precisely what it will all come to. Alice having first been engaged to her cousin George, and then breaking with him (we are never told why !) becomes affianced to Mr. Grey of Nethercoats. Jilting Mr. Grey (here, again, we can to this mo ment hardly conjecture why) she engages herself to her worthless, schemeing horse-jockey, rascal of a cousin. And now that she is thus engaged to George —now that she has oace more brought herself to this pretty pass, Alice awakens to the vivid recog nition of the fact that she loathes the man she has promised to marry, and loves the man whom she has previously jilted ! An after title for this dis agreeable story might have been the following— " She would, and she wouldn't." Certainly, with its present interrogative title we feel persuaded that the answer vouchsafed to the author by nine-tenths of his readers will be very distinctly and quite un mistakably in the negative. Macaulay's history of England. Part XI. Peo pie's Edition. Longman and Co. Three more instalments of this serial popular Edi tion of Macaulay's great fregment of a history will bring the work, so far as it goes, to a conclusion. The present number, as it is, completes the third of the four volumes into which the People's Edition is divided—completes that third volume even to the extent of giving the purchoser its title-page and table of contents. The more we see of this popular reprint of the literary masterpiece of Macaulay's the more perfectly are we satisfied that the pub lishers are thereby raising the noblest monument to the great writer's memory by popularising his repu tation. Afagazine. " Wives and Daughters" is continued, and the story increases in interest as it proceeds, There is a very amusing passage relative to the lovemaking of young Coxe, Mr Chb3on's apprentice. This is described in an entertaining manner, and Mr Gibson hit upon a very novel expedient for putting' a stop to the im prudent venture. It is quite a change certainly to peruse a tale of, this sort in its quaintness and simplicity after the monotony of the fashionable and smart sketches so preva lent around us. " Margaret Dalziel's History" still pre sents us with its fitful scenes and strange adventures, but next instalment will be the last. This narrative will please the lovers of the sensational form of novel, although the style is more in the passive than the active form of that class. "The French at the Alma" is a paper which is interesting to peruse. It compares the two works that appeared on this subject. Each historian, Mr. Kinglake and Baron de Bazancourt, claims for his own countrymen the entire credit of winning the opening action of the cam paign. This is to be regretted, because it cannot really impart any more renown to an army to give them the credit of doing what they did not and perhaps could not, Gen. Todleben has published a work which is here emphatically described as throwing a fresh strong healthy light upon the disputed facts of the Crimean campaign. This book is justly commended here, and certainly the declaration that " it is neither controversial or critical," goes far to jus tify the eulogiums. " The Ethics of Friendship," is an article that imparts some useful hints, and makes valuable suggestions—it may be read with pleasure and profit. There is great truth in the remarks made on impertinent meddling and awkward questionings which put people in such false positions, and give rise to great equivocation and even de liberate deceit. " The Lovers of Ballymaken," is continued in this number. It is animated in its style, and its sea ad ventures impart a vivacity to its details. " Partridge Shooting" is an appropriate subject for a sketch, for it is mentioned " the toil of which Britons make a pleasure is once more brought round to us." A high opinion is here entertained of the advantages of this particular kind of sport. It is said that " partridge shooting conduces but little to the worst kind of poaching—it is far better bodily exercise than even cover shooting, it calls into play more of our faculties, and consequently is more interesting, and above all it does no harm to the crops of the tenant farmer." Those of a sporting tendency will be interested to peruse this article, evidently penned by one well versed in his subject. " German Professors" is a paper which enters fully into the question of education among Germans, and there is reason in the remark that so long as things remain as they are at present, there will be no "practical realities" in Germany, United Service Magazine. The United Service opens with an admirable article upon Mr Cobden's criticisms on Government manufacturing establishments. If the writer seems to be severe upon a man who has in some respects deserved well of his country, he is certainly borne out by facts when he says that Mr Cobden, in his endeavour to remodel the financial tariff, has overstepped his limits, and entered upon a field of discussion of which he is ignorant. We do not wish to detract from Mr Cobden's claims to public consi deration for what he has done, but would advise him to let well alone, Many points of his French treaty did not re dound to his credit any more than to that of the Govern ment which employed him. When a man suffers himself to be persuaded into sacrificing the interests of his country for an idea, as Mr Cobden did about the duty on rags, it is time that he abandoned the field of diplomacy. The opening sentence of this article speaks to the point, and although the hon. member for Rochdale may not relish it, he must still admit its truth. " Some great men," says the writer, have a peculiar tendency to imagine that because they have become great in consequence of their having undertaken and mastered some one important subject, they are there fore capable of dealing successfully with all others that may chance to fall in their way. Instead of being content with taking the lead in one question, they are induced by that tyrant, ambition, to try their power on others that are quite out of their own line, and after a while they are taught the sad lesson that ' It is the curse of greatness To ba its own destruction.'" An article by Lieut. A. Steinmetz on the formation of troops for battle is well written, at least so far as the description of the strategic plans of eminent commanders is conceived. "Curiosities of Naval Literature" are concluded, and, as if to end these interesting papers with a flourish, the reader is inaugurated into Borne of the mysteries of the process of tattooing, as practised among seamen of all nations. Several very curious illustrations are given. "Four Years on the Gold Coast," by Captain Mathew, is continued, and narrates further experiences of his researches in the locality. "Oswald Hastings," by Captain W. W. Knollys, is continued, and some other papers, on general subjects, are also contributed, together with the usual pro fessional information of the mouth. The Gallery of Geography, Parts XI. and XII. Chambers. This most interesting and instructive work pro ceeds in its usual style. The illustrations are numer ous, and many of them excellent. The maps, too, are good. The chief attraction is, however, the letterpress, which will certainly tell many who think themselves tolerably well informed, a good deal about countries with which they are familiar that they did not know before. In the description of European Russia, for instance, we find the account of the forest of Bialowieza, which is situated in the government of Grodno. " There is here an expanse of wood 31 miles long, 27 broad, and 112 in circuit, with an estimated area of 135 square miles, nearly equal to the half of Middlesex." The trees are densely packed, and an "innermost district of about:ls,ooo acres, or two square miles, has not yet been penetrated by the woodcutter. It bears the name of the unknown region, and is quite impassable until the axe clears the way, owing the multitude of trunks of trees rooted up by the storms of ages crossing one another in all directions. Such is the old forest of Bialowieza, the last stronghold of the auroch, the bison of Europe." The slaughter of these animals has been strictly forbidden, and certain peasants are bound to make hay for them at appointed places to serve for winter fodder. No living specimens of this animal are known, except in this one Luthuanian forest, so that groat interest attaches to its preservation. Mr Ronyord's Hounds. By the author of " Handley Cross, &e. Part V. There is not much to be said about Mr Rumford this month, although the number is well worth reading. Mr Rumford establishes himself in the country satisfactorily, and is at the close of the number in high feather, but we expect he will not be long in smooth water. There is no question that the writer of these amus ing sketches of hunting life is thoroughly acquainted with all the ins and outs of the craft, both high and low. His fate seems, however, to be showing up delinquents rather than exhibiting a fair specimen of a true English sportsman. But that in his former works:he has in one or two occasions introduced us to gentlemen, such as Mr Jovey Jessop, people migh* wonder how he knew so much of such queer proceedings I Another Story of the Guns ; or, Sir Emerson Ten nent and the Whitworth Gun. By the "Fraser" Reviewer. Macmillan. The war of words between the Fraser Reviewer and the author of " The Story of the Guns,” is already pretty well known to the public, and the dispute has excited so much interest, that it is not surpris ing the author of the criticism should have embodied it in a more substantial form than the one in which it first ap peared. The writer, as is well known, is an advocate of Sir William Armstrong,while Sir Emerson Tennent inclines to favour Mr Whitworth. Those who like to collate and com pare conflicting testimonies, so that they may arrive at a fair and unprejudiced decision,will now be able to place the two opponents side by side on their shelves. Luttrell of Arran. By Charles Lever. Part X. " Luttrell of Arran" does not come up to our expectations this month. The conduct of Kate O'Hara is inexplicable and unnatural, while that of Sir Within Wardle is not in keeping with his character. That the author can appreciate true greatness of mind under difficulties is proved in the admirable letter written by Sir Gervais Vyner in his troubles. The practical tact of the worldly Mr Grenfell is well described, but unless Mr Lever proposes to compete with the latest sensation novels, and rival " The Woman in White," a hoe genus ovine, we cannot fathom the drift of his plot which seems only to introduce characters to expunge them. Ihe Eclectic. An interesting article on the late Archbishop Whately gives copious extracts from his writings, Edmond About on Progress forms the topic of another essay, and a criticism on the recent efforts of some of our minor poets is worth reading. The other papers are chiefly on controversial subjects. The risherman's Magazine. No, VI. Chapman and Hall. This magazine, which is something of a novelty in the serial world, is adorned with a portrait of the Bull Trout, a tempting prize for an angler. gg A Chat on Fishing ; where to go for it," is very season able, while a description of "The Wye; its tributaries and fish" is interesting to the tourist, while the account of "My First Salmon" will certainly attract the beginner in the art. .Le e Le Follees fair dames are as fascinating as ever, and the magazine retains its right to be regarded as the indisputable authority on all matters of fashionable taste. Newton's London Journal Contains a V summary of the Cotton Famine, founded on Mr, Arnold's recent work s and an article on the Report of the Royal Commission on Patents is promised at an early opportunity. Tile usual list of patents, accompanied by illustrative diagrams, is given, and the customary information on all n_atters con nected with the patent laws supplied. CASSELL'S PUBLICATIONS.—The Illustrated Gold• smith, Bunyan, Shakspere, Popular Education, History of England, and Natural History, tech, as usual, contain a great variety of very beautiful woodcuts. The eminent publishing firm deserve all the success they are achieving. Expulsion of Foreigners from Roumania, B UCIIAREST, Aug. 23. It is stated hero that one of the concessions made by Prince Couza to the representatives of various Powers during his recent visit to Constantinople was that political refugees should be expelled from Roumania. The expulsion of such persons has, at any rate, been rigorously carried into tact within the last few days, and many hundreds have already arrived at Constantinople. The following circular directing this Pleasure has been addressed by the Minister President to the various prefects : " Sir,—You. will already have learnt from the (facial dfcnitorul that his Highness the Prince Regent, animated by a wish to throw a veil over past occurrences, has decreed an amnesty for all kinds of political offences. "Prhis amnesty extends to two classes of persons —to natives and to foreigners. " The natives, among whom Prince Constantine Sutzas and Parrait Balsch are the most conspicuous, hoped by means of secret societies, conspiracies, and intrigues with foreign countries, to bring about the fall of the existing Government; Authentic documents of the guilty persons, in their own handwriting, seized in Bucharest and Jassy, leave not the remotest shadow of doubt as to the criminal character of their acts. His Highness the Prince Regent, faithful to his policy of forgiveness and conciliation, has nevertheless seen fit to issue general amnesty to all natives without exception. " With respect to foreigners, however, his high• ness's Government saw itself necessitated to adopt, simultaneously with the amnesty, a measure de. mauled by our own security at home and abroad, viz,, to call upon amnestied foreigners to quit the Roumanian territory. The present decree will place you in a position to carry out this step in the districts under your administration with intelli gence, and at the same time regard to onr dignity as a hospitable and autonomous county, desirous to fulfil its international obligations. "I will explain myself more exactly. Roumania is now more than ever a free country. It extends, therefore, its full hospitality and its entire protec4 tion to every foreigner, pursued by political or private misfortune, who comes to seek an asylum among us. So long as such an individual respects the laws of the country and the dictates of hospid tality, you will protect his person, his honour, and his property, and treat him in every respect like a native, or even better, " This cannot by any means be the case with regard to foreigners who come either to interfere in our internal affairs and to ally themselves with the native enemies of order, or to concoct conspiracies and organise expeditions against neighbouring States, which at the same time constitute the Powers guaranteeing our nationality and political existence. The necessity of what is here said will be evident from what follows. "The Government had received intelligence that an expedition against the neighbouring States was being prepared from abroad, which was to proceed from our territory under the direction of several members and agents of the revolutionary commit.. tees in foreign parts. M. Gustav Frigias had visited the country for this purpose, furnished by Mazzini and the other chiefs of the foreign party of action with instructions, proclamations, and letters of recommendation to native revolutionists by profession. This dangerous emissary continued to hide himself under various fictitious names, an d to traverse with impunity several portions of our country, more particularly Moldavio. He was ultimately arrested in Bucharest, and the entire plan of operations seized in his possession, and upon some of his coadjutors. It transpired, then, that the plan was really to organise armed expeditions against the neighbouring States upon Roumanian territory. " Possessing the plan of operations, and being therefore in a position to frustrate it, we thought it superfluous to take severe measures for the punish.. client of those who strove to compromise our neu trality: We considered it simply our duty to adopt such measures for the future as to obviate the possi4 bility of any one even thinking of making our country the theatre of military operations against the neighbouring States. The Government has, therefore, determin©d the expulsion of all persons who so far misuse the hospitality extended to them as to compromise our neutrality—the basis of our political existence—and thus to repay good with evil. "We are now in the midst of our internal reorganisation. More than ever we require peace at home as well as abroad, and the confidence and goodwill of our neighbours. We must there fore use every effort to maintain order and neutrality. In consideration of this position of affairs you will be good enough to communicate the view taken by the Government to every foreigner, either permanently or only provisionally resident in the districts under your administration, requir ing from each the promise to conduct himself in conformity with the laws and in interests of the country. " Wnert you have taken this step, and yet eb4 serve that any foreigner, no matter what may be his nationality, disregards his obligation as a guest by either interfering in our internal political con' flicts, or by conspiring against our good relations with neighbouring States, ycn will immediately acquaint me with the fact, and I shall not hesitate a moment in ordering the expulsion of those who do not come to us for hospitality and an asyluraf' but in quest of a spot where they may carry on their revolutionary conspiracies, which are nowhere permitted, and excite to an armed contest which they aro unable to pursue in their own ccuntry.- - ' Receive, &c., " COGOLNITSCHEANO, Minister President." A. slightly easier feeling is noticeable to.dal mong the bankers and bill-brokers, and they area more disposed to secure business at the current quotations. They had previously shown much re" serve, and by their reluctance to negociate mercial securities except for their regular customers , sent numerous borrowers to the Bank of England. The inquiry for accommodation, however, is not so pressing as it was, a large portion of the mercantile public having provided for present necessities, and. affairs consequently exhibit a less stringent appear' ance. The general rate for three months' paper is 8 per cent., but a few exceptional transactions have been concluded today at i Pe t cent., which are worthy of record owing to the previous rigid enforcement of full terms for eyed description of monetary assistance. There is an emplo supply of money on the Steep Exchange, and it is obtainable in the foram ° I " short loans" at comparatively easy rates. Consignments of Russian gold ate augmet tivg the imports of the previous metals, and a further influx into the bullion department of the &Ilk je fully expected. Above £45,000 was taken ;there yesterday. ALARMING RAILWAY ACCIDENT ON THE GEEA'r NORTHERN.—At the Halifax railway statiola e ti Saturday night, a Great Northern train dashed i n to a , train just starting for Low Moor, and caused immense clarnilg° to the three last carriages. Strange to say, although th carriages against which the engine struck were irretrievab l i e damaged, the passengers escaped without loss of life. 113 accident is attributed to the carelessness of the conductor 0 the Great Northern train, who, it is said, neglected to pal attention to the signals. EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE FROM A VlOL— ria DEATIL—At the Boseasw ell mine, Cornwall, o°. Thuredey, a young man named John James was about 00 ascend the 120 fathom level to the 100 fathom. By s°°, mea ns he fell through the perpendicular slide shaft 00 depth of two fathoms below the 140 fathom level, in all fathoms, or 132 feet. Being at once missed, a search vi' l3o made for him by his comrades , who discovered him sit foot of the skip road, below the 140 fathom, insensible , lying doubled up over an aperture, which proved not sil7 b, ciently largo to admit of his body going through , and wbled leads to the 160 fathom level. He is now almost rest °. to health.
