SECOND EDI lON. Now ready, at all the Libraries, in 3 volumes, with illustrations by Leech, THE GREAT HIGHWAY, A Story of the World's Struggles, By S. W. FULLOM, Author of the " Marvels of Science," (From the Morning C hroutcle.) " A work of fiction, by the author of " The M ar vels of Science." which in an incredibly short time has gone through seven editions. cannot fail to attract the attention of the great r ading public. It is not an ordinary novel, for with all the beauties df fiction, it com bines the mre powerful attractions of truth. The . GJ eat High way' is the road upon which all those travel who, by their own exer tions, have to earn a path to fame or fortune, who have to stru gle a, ainst the flood in which ,many a bold traveller has sunk The story aptly responds to the title. It is good to have the truth spoken out manfully. The curtain is boldly drawn aside in these volumes, and the gr at social evils of the day are displayed. Four eh ante' sof the third volume nil, ht be called 'r. velations.' We are here introduced by an experienced guile to all the mysteries of a 'iterary existence in London Mr. Fullem paints with a truthful .nd vighrous pencil. The plot is well managed ; the characters Arawn from life ; the language is at times poetical ; and, as a work of fiction, `The Great Highway' will take a prominent place." (From the John Bull-) " Many, doubtless, are the stories of real of which the work before us is but too faithful a picture. Our author has found me-118 to bring this story to an unusually cheerful issue, yet the lessons ‘f* lif it contains are not the less forcible, nor the scenes it describes less true to nature. More especially is this the case with regard to that portion of the work hi which the present state of literature is portrayed, thouzh this is not more prominent than is consistent with he g.n. ral interest of the story. The literary world of London is but one of the prospects to which the reader Is conduct.-d along the Great Highway,' and which in their great variety emstitute the chief attractions of the tale. Americ sn life aso is copiously ilustrated, both in its gene ral aspect and in one of its most et rtling orms, that of th. Mormon community from which some powerful ep sodes are borrowed. The book is one which will retain a pro. tninent h , Id of the public as a truthful and peculiarly gr iphic por traiture of the age to which it belongs and which it represents." (From the Observer.) " The story has features of manifold attraction, and much novelty, debelop-d in the torm of singular and interesting events, fluently and gracefully narrated, evincing a lar;e knowledge of the world. As a work of fiction we have not read any superior." (From the Globe.) " This story throws a light, not unfairly, on the social systems of the day. The description of the literary Forld is strongly painted, but not overstrained : and there is an honest effort to place in their True light some of the most prominent features of moderu society." (From the Dispatch.) " This is a story of that ' Great Ilighwa , ,' the wo Id, detaled with an air of actuality which makes the reader hear, see, and think. We have life at May-fair and S ,ffron-hill put in opposition. As an ex osure of the knavery met with by the literary man, we know no thing.like what is detailed in this work. There must .te authority 'or this inditmaat outcry. It is a new triumph to its author, and one of the most really enchanting stories of the day." Loudon : Longman and Co.

JUNE 4, IB64.—The Magnificent Screw Steam-ship LADY JOCELYN, 1,800 tons, another of the flne fleet belonging to the General Screw Steam Shiping Company, will be despatched with her Majesty's Mails for sdelaide, Port Philip, and Sydney, on the 4th June next. This truly noble ship has maintained her MO re ptuation for rapid sailing and runctuality, and as a sister ship to the Argo, which has made the quickest voyage to and from Australia of any ship up to this time. The Lady Jocelyn has been employed carrying the Mails to and from England and Calcutta, and after a voyage of about 27,000 miles, calling at s%ven ports outward and eight homeward, has reached Plymouth two days before her time, and from her super or sailing and steaming qualities, it may be fairly assumed that she will make the run to AUStraiadays. Rates of passage from 3 0 to 100 g uineas. Full p a rticulars AS to Freight and Passage money at the Company's Oakes, 1, Adelaide-place, Lendon-bridge. her former complement. Mr. William Spouse proceeds in the Miranda as Baltic pilot. Mr. Spouse has for many years commanded merchant ships in all parts of the Baltic, and was for two years and upwards in com mand of a fine Russian Finland clipper schooner, draw ing two feet more water than the Miranda does at pre sent. Mr. Spouse acted as pilot on board this ship on her late trip out to reconnoitre the Russian ports— Port Baltic and Revel. _ _ The weather being more moderate on Saturday, the shear hulk was got along the Nile, 91, screw steam-ship. The crank shaft was hoisted out and put on board the steam-vessel African, which left Sheerness at noon for Messrs. Stewards' factory to have the neces sary repairs effected. On the Nile coming to an anchor for the night, on her passage round to Sheerness from the Downs, a target was placed at a distance of 800 yards for practising the crew, which, however, did not afford much opportunity, for the third shot fired passed completely through the target (a cask) and sunk it. Before another could be got out the evening set in. It is well worthy of notice, and does credit to the ship's company, that since the pendant has been hoisted there has not been a single instance of punishment having taken place ; and the same can be said on board the Miranda, Captain Edmund M. Lyons. Both ships being here at present, and lying near each other, they are styled by the blue jackets on board each, " The Happy Couple," and they hope before long to have a chance of daring the enemy to separate them whilst they have a shot in either of their lockers. THE WAR. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. Rear-Admiral Hope Johnston is appointed to the command-in-chief on the South-east Coast of America station, and will leave, per Brazil mail-packet, to re lieve at Rio Rear-Admiral Henderson, C. 8., who is desirous of coming home. The St. Vincent, 101, ordinary depot-ship at Ports mouth, carrying the flag of Rear-Amiral Martin, super intendent of that dockyard, changes her captain this week, Captain Scott having requested to be superseded, owing to increasing infirmities. The St. Vincent's new captain KttßatGer"- grand dne i p s George hewoferen A e u ra g l u G st e u o s rg E e l A io u tt gos a to B s 3B E ) , lio ,f wards Lord Heathfield, the defender of Gibraltar ; he was first lieutenant to Captain Sir John Franklin in the Rainbow, 28, and to Captain Edmund (now Rear-Ad miral Sir Edmund) Lyons, in the Madagascar, 46, in the Mediterranean, in 1833. The Powerful, 84, sailing-ship, was ordered to be commissioned at Portsmouth on Saturday, to join the Baltic fleet. She will have a crew of 750 men, and be commanded by Captain George Mansell, who had lost the Actaeon, 26, on the coast of Africa. The Powerful carried Sir Charter Napier's broad pendant on the coast of Syria, and is a fine roomy, efficient, sailing two decker. She will, no doubt, be a welcome addition to the Baltic, fleet. The Scourge, 6, paddle-wheel steam-frigate, Commo dore Adams, is progressing very fast in her external equipment, at Portsmouth. She has lower and topsail yards across, and topgallantmasts on end. She has about 70 hands entered, but might have been manned twice over had she been allowed to enter all who presented themselves, her captain and station (the coast of Africa flag-ship) being both popular. The store-ship Tyne, Master-Commander Tucker. has been filled up with victualling stores from the Royal Clarence yard, and will sail in a day or two for the Baltic fleet. The Alecto, 6, steamsloop, Commander Crofton, is ordered from Portsmouth to Woolwich, to be paid off and refitted. The Simoom, 18, screw transport, Captain Smith, is ordered to embark the 79th Highlanders at Portsmouth Dockyard for Turkey on the 4th instant. This fine and efficient regiment was officially inspected in quarters at Portsmouth, on Saturday, by Major-General Simpson, commanding the troops in that fortress. In anticipation of the casualties of the war, new store houses are being built in the front of Haslar Hospital, to enable sundry storehouses that held sick wards before to be readapted to their original use as receptacles for sick and wounded. The Medea, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Phillimore, went out of Portsmouth harbour on Friday evening, and left for the north. The Pigmy steam-vessel was commissioned at Ports mouth on Friday evening by Lieutenant Hunt, to attend the Baltic fleet as a gun-boat. She is to carry one long 32-pounder swivel, and two long 18 ditto ; crew of 35 ; no midshipmen or boys, but all able men. The Stromboli, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Robert Hall, has returned to Spithead from the Downs, not having fallen in with any prizes. The Sealark, 8, Lieutenant Fenwick, in charge, has returned to Spithead, from the Channel. The hired freight-ships, Harbinger, Negotiator, Mo narchy, Mary Anne, and Culloden are chartered to con vey Turkey. the 13th light Dragoons from Portsmouth to t o T c h o e w o e s dotp o o of the d 9 a s y t h Footi oher m e r i s s e e s d from t y,B steam-tug Southampton Eoho, to occupy Parkhurst Barracks. A paddle-wheel man-of-war steamer and a large mer chant ship with „passengers, from New York for Ant werp, passed up Channel inside the Eddystone about 5 o'clock yesterday morning. The Phoenix screw steam-sloop, Captain Edward A. Inglefield, and the Talbot, Commander Jenkins, are both reported ready to proceed to sea, and convey the stores they have on board to the Arctic regions for the relief of Captain Sir Edward Belcher's Expedition. Fortv-eieht newly raised men arrived at Plymouth in a Dublin steamer ou oateirclity atternuot., and nave been wont on board the Impregnable, 11,1 g-ship. They will probably be drafted to the Algiers. 90, screw steam-ship, fitting out for active service. The Algiers got her steam up on Saturday afternoon for the purpose of testing her machinery. „Her engines worked admirably. Fairbairn is the maker of them. His Brazilian Majesty's screw steam-sloop Mage, 7 guns, arrived in the Sound on Thursday from the Thames, where she was built. Captain Portugal takes a passage in her to the Brazils. The Belleisle, Commander Hoskin, fitting out as a hospital ship for the Baltic fleet, will be ready to proceed to sea about Wednesday next. Her stores have been nearly all taken on board. Brigade-Major J. H. Purves, of Portsmouth garrison, is about to leave that post, where be has been very actively employed of late in attending to the accommo dation provided for troops on board transports, for what is considered more congenial (the kid glove) service, being appointed equerry to the Duchess of Cambridge. Mr. Philip C. D. Bean, who has been reappointed to the Fisgard, flag-ship of Commodore John Shepherd, at Woolwich, has resumed his duties as Master, and also acts as Flag-Lieutenant. Under Mr. Bean's directions, with the able assistance of Mr. Warner, gunner of the Fisgard, the landsmen who have lately joined have be come very proficient in their drill and other exercises •, and about 40 of them are now ready for being draughted into vessels for service at sea. A statement had ap peared in some quarters that it was not intended to enter any more landsmen for service; but such is not the fact, as the Fisgard is still entering healthy young lads of 18 , 19, or 20 years of age, if 5 feet 6 inches in height, although they may have never been at sea. Lieutenant-Colonel Fox Strangways, Royal Horse Artillery. Brigade-Major Adye, and Captain and Adju tant Gordon, left London on Saturday morning, pro ceeding via Paris and Marseilles, for the seat of war in the East. The gallant Colonel will command the Royal Horse Artillery of the British Army. The following changes of companies at home stations have taken place : Captain Cannon's 7th company of the 13th battalion to Shoeburyness, relieving Captain Longden's No. 5 company, 13th battalion, and the latter proceeded to Bristol to relieve Captain Dennis Pack's company, Ist battalion, that company being under orders to return to head-quarters at Woolwich. The remaining divisions of Captain Swinton's field battery of Royal Artillery embarked on Saturday in the Lady Macnaughten and the Kenilworth, horse transport ships, and were taken out of Woolwich basin in the after noon. The Blake, horse transport-ship, is in the basin, and has also a portion of a battery of the Royal Artil lery on board, and will be taken out at the early hour of 3 o'clock in the morning, and proceed down the river on her way to the Mediterranean. The Wilson Kennedy, transport, Captain Simpson, hired by the Government to convey troops to the Mediterranean, is now in the hands of the artisans of Plymouth Dockyard, and her repairs will not be com pleted before Tuesday.

The artisans commenced on Thursday morning, and work daily until 9at night. They were busy on her all yesterday, and she will probably be completely ready for sea by Tues day morning. The Wilson Kennedy is a full-rigged ship, and regi.sters 1,129 tons. She has been supplied at Plymout h s with above 30 tons of additional iron bal last. Her capacious 'tween decks are fitted with stalls for 85 l'..orses—namely, 70 troopers, and 15 officers' ; the bottom of the stalls is of stout plank, crossed over with two,-inch battens, and on these the horses will stand. T.'ne accommodation for the troops, 85, is forw ar d, on the same deck, under th e topgallant forecastle. The head quarters of the Bth Hussars consists of Lieutenant- Colonel Shewell, Captain Chetwode, Lieutenant Adju tant Seeger, Cornet Clowes, and Surgeon Anderson. On her poop, from her mainmast aft, the ship will carry a flat-bottomed boat, 27 feet long, constructed for the purpose of landing troops. Major-General Sir Harry Smith and Admiral Superintendent 6topford inspected her yesterday. The Miranda, 15 guns, screw steam-ship, Captain Edmund M. Lyons, was put out of the fitting basin, Sheerness, on Friday. Her . cl:evy have been paid their advance,- under the superintend ence of Capt. Christopher Wyvill.

The Columbine, armed sailing coal depot, the armed water tank, and the cutter Gossamer, were all put out of the Sheerness fitting basin on Saturday. The Gossa mer is to be fitted as a revenue cutter, and will also pro ceed in search of Russian merchant vessels homeward bound. _ _ Lieutenant Simpson H. Ricketts, of December 1, 1851, from the Water'oo, 121, is in command, pro tent., of tbw Cuckoo, 3, paddlewheel steam-vessel, and she is now being fitted in dry dock at Sheerness, and is to proceed round the Orkney Islands to look after Russian prizes. The revenue cutter Stag, 6, Lieutenant Frederick L. Cotton, sailed on Saturday morning for her cruising ground to look after Russian prizes. The Hannibal, 91, screw, at Chatham, is progressing fast in her fitment, her lower and topmast rigging is be ing set up, and she is entering some smart, able, and good ordinary seamen. Mr. Joseph Whittall, clerk, the 9th of July, 1852, serving in the office of Vice-Admiral the Hon. Josceline Percy, has been promoted to the rank of Paymaster. He will still retain his present appointment under the Admiralty regulations. DEAL, Arm, 29. The French frigate Zenobie anchored for the Baltic. Sailed the Majestic for the Baltic. Two Prussian men of-war passed at the back of the Goodwin Sands, to the eastward, at 5 o'clock this morning. ArRIL 30. Arrived and passed, the Lady Al‘Naglten (36), (transport), London to Malta. THE FRENCH FLEET.— On Saturday the Frnich fleet loosed sails, but subsequently stowed them again. No less than twenty boats were ashore at Deal, on Satur day, taking off supplies and necessaries for their ships. The utmost good feeling prevailed between the officers and men of the allied forces.

The Himalaya was to have been immediately on her arrival fitted in the same way, and perhaps still is, unless her breaking down one engine prevents. She would carry, at the same rate of space allowed, nearly double the number—say, however, 450. We calculate, in this way, it takes 229 feet of the Jason's length to carry 172 horses on one deck, and that deck is under (considerably under) 300 feet long. The Himalaya, if properly fitted, would have length of deck for stalls say 320 feet, or about one-third more ; so on that deck, and carrying only two rows, she would put away conveniently 250 horses, and below 200 more. But, taking the Jason's practice, it is quite clear that nine such vessels might long ago have taken out the 2,000 cavalry talked of in 15 days from shipping. The horses already sent, we are to suppose, are those belong ing to the artillery and the staff ; for, as far as the public have been made aware, no great number of the actual cavalry soldiers' horses are even yet gone. It may be said, and no doubt truly, that the steamers employed in carrying the foot soldiers in such numbers could not be spared for this other equally important duty. Why not then have taken up other steamers ? Why not have laid violent hands on the Great Britain, which sailed on Saturday for Australia, if her owners were not sufficiently loyal to offer her ? That ship could have carried nearly, if not quite; 3,000 men, and on her two cleared passenger decks we are afraid to say how many horses. She, being five feet wider than the Hima laya, could hare carried four clear rows on a deck length of nearly 300 feet ; also, in fact, the number she could have carried over 800 would only have been controlled by coal and forage stowage. Altogether, although great things have been done, and we admit it, we do think there has been some blunder *, and no wonder, when five or six different office rou tines have to be gone through before the simplest move can be made—the Cabinet, the Colonial, the War, the Admiralty, the transport, &c. Time there was one war minister.—Morning Herald. NEUTRALITY OF THE NORTH. Sir Charles Napier has paid a visit to King Oscar at Stockholm, and that potentate must before long choose his side in the war. Neutral he cannot long be. Will he follow the view of the people of Sweden and Denmark, or will he not ? This is now the question. The feelings of the populations of both countries have been shown often enough. What exact greeting Sir Charles got in the Swedish capital itself the telegraph does not say •, but our correspondent's letter speaks very confidently on the point of Swedish sympathies, though written before the impression sure to be created by the arrival of the fleet itself off Stockholm. Turning from Sweden to her neighbour, we may say the re ception given to our sailors and the greeting to our fleet by the citizens of Copenhagen, Kiel, and other towns are incidents of interest in every view, but especially in the eyes of those who are thoughtful and experienced enough to kiow that, if the war lasts, the neutrality of the Baltic nations cannot last. Our relations with Denmark have been of deep interest since the days of the depar ture of the- Romans from Britain, and never have they been more truly important than since the beginning of this century. Our mutual under standing during the coming struggle is one of the salient points of interest in the near future ; and there can be no doubt that many more minds are speculating than there aretongues heard to be talking about it. If anyone of the Scandinavian countries is more deeply involved in, the issue of this war than another, it is Denmark. Denmark has keener feelings in regard to England than Sweden and Norway can possibly have ; and, as matters have been recently settled about the succession to her throne, only three heads stand between the Czar and her crown. Denmark knows, as well as the rest of the world, that the Czar is very tall, and has a strong hand • and that whenever he has a fancy for that crown lie is just the man to put out his hand and take it. These are incidents which involve Denmark peculiarly in the existing contro versy; while she shares the liability of Sweden and Norway to be drawn into the quarrel on more gene ral grounds. The three countries cannot be really separated for any length of time in any such war as the present, though they have had their own little wars with one another. They have had their family bickerings when they had nothing else to do with their combative energies ; but they make an ex cellent clan when any enemy presses from without. Margaret, the northern Semiramis had a world of trouble to keep the three fractious children from fighting ; and, good as was the Government of Nor way by Denmark at a later time, there were some real grievances in it which caused much murmuring; .. and now, again, the Bernadotte family find it no easy matter to satisfy Norway while gratifying Sweden, different as the two are in nationality, though under one Government ; but, let Russia but lay a violent finger on the smallest interest of any one of the three, now that all are on the watch, and we shall soon see what the other two will do. In anticipating the alliance of one, then, we make sure of that-of all. The fact is, we have not the slightest doubt of enjoying that alliance, if the war is of any duration, and especially if, as we also an ticipate, Austria and Prussia declare themselves on the side of the Czar. The fact which is the most germane to the mat- THE TRANSPORT SERVICE. ter is that Russia has been the direct cause of the We insert the following from a corresposdent, with- painful ruptures that have divided England and out subscribing to all the details of his communications.

The confidential answer Screw Company, will at once show the economy, to people who still wonder at St. Petersburg being the comfort, and the advantage of hiring much ships built in a shaking bog is that " St. Petersburg was in preference to the SOO ton sailing ships.

England were, in the eye of heaven, the predes tined allies wdo should save the world ; and, in another m on th, as soon as t h e B r i t i s h fl ee t w as down the horizon, declared war against England. These historical facts should be enough to put the tw o na ti ons on their guard against being set by the ears by Russia, even if both were still what they were in 1807. But both countries have ad vanced and improved : and Denmark especially so, in political fr ee d om . She will not again be what she was six centuries ago, when she was a leading power, with a proportionate territory ; but, on the other hand, neither can s h e (if duly on her guard i against Russia) ever agai n s i n k so low as v' two centuries, she found no refuge fromt'lieetßywraltninof her aristocracy but in begging f or a despotism. The true old spirit began to revive long ago ; and the yoar 1835 was rendered memorable in the na tional annals by the first instituti on o f a popu l a r representation—imperfect and weak, but still enough like the true thing to frighten our Duke of Cumberland exceedingly, considering how near the Danes were to Hanover. Through various troubles, and a little war of succession, the political liberties of Denmark have continued to expand as the popu lar element rises with every change, and the broad extension of popular education justifies and sub stantiates the blessing. Our free trade developer their agriculture and their commerce. Since the admission of live stock into our ports, the marshes of Holstein and the grazing lands of Jutland have become a anine of wealth to their possessors. We are organising a transit through Denmark to Norway aud Sweden. We are becoming more and more the friendly and familiar neighbours that nature intended us to be. And therefore is it plain to us that, whenever neutrality becomes impossible to the Bal tic powers, the side that Denmark declares for will not be Russia. If the strong hand be put out too soon for that bespoken crown, it must simply have a sound rap on the knuckles. If the Czar wants to make Denmark the gate-lodge of his ill-gotten estate, the residents will simply tell him that they are independent, and have no wish to go to service. And then, if he tries to make slaves of them, they have only to ring their alarm bell, and England and France will be on the spot immediately, to help to send the tyrant home. That, in our opinion, will be the way, and the right way, if he so bullies the neighbourhood as to force people to declare for or against him.—Daily News. THE LATE MARQUIS OF ANGLESEY. The death of the Marquis of Anglesey is an event which, in the course of nature, might have been looked for long before it really occurred, but it is one which cannot be received otherwise than with general regret, now that the blow has fallen at last. He was born on the 17th of May, 1768, and died on the morning of Saturday last, the 29th of April, 1854. Few men have enjoyed so long a term of existence. Nor was this long life obscured by any period of struggle—of subservience to the will of others—of poverty. He had not, indeed, tho wealth of the Marquis of Westminster, nor the po litical influence of the Duke of Bedford, but ho was so fortunately placed that he could well dis pense with them, and remain honoured among all most worthy of honour. The possession of a greater or smaller fortune would have mattered little to him. The first would not have added, nor would tho second have detracted one jot from !the considera tion in which he was held. Providence is just to all his creatures ; to some, money is given ; to others, money's worth ; to few, both. Lord Angle sey had for his share rather the value than the token, and remained to the last, although no wealthy man, ono of the most honoured members of English society. Passing on to other and more considerable matters, it can scarcely be denied that his civil abilities were such as distinguished him among several successive generations of patrician legislators. To the qualifications or position of a statesman we believe that he never throughout his long career made any pretension. The field of battle was a more appropriate scene for his exertions, and for the display of his peculiar energies. He was no great tactician ; hut, since the soldier's drawn sword first glittered in the sunshine, never did a more fearless or more chivalrous officer support the honour of his country than the brave old man to whose memory we are now endeavouring to offer a tribute of respect. It is not, however, merely as a successful soldier that Lard Anglesey will recur to the imagination of the present race of Englishmen. Ho was one of the few links between the present and the past. It requires almost as violent a mental jerk for a man who is now in the prime of life to realize to himself the society of the Prince Regent, as it would be to form a just appreciation of that period of French history in which Louis XV. gave himself up to the sway of Madame de Pompadour. If we want to know anything of the period in which Edmund Burke perorated to empty benches, and wrote for immortality—when Sheridan burnished up witticisms, and forgot to pay his debts—we must painfully fag our way through histories and contemporary memoirs, and collections of' letters, and g ossip. Even then, it is probable that a reader will only dress up the impressions of his own time in the outward costume of another, without regard to their essexce and reality. That is all we could hope to do with the period when George, Prince of Wales, first broke away from his pedagogues, and burst upon the town. Lord Anglesey- was a youth then—the contemporary of that very dissolute Prince whom we buried at Windsor a quarter of a century ago—a jaded vo luptuary, exhausted with well-nigh seventy years of luxury and self-indulgence. Let those who are not in the habit of recurring to dates reflect that George 111. came to the throne in the year 1760 — rejoicing, as he said—poor man !—in the name of Briton ; that George, Prince of Wales, was born in 1762, and the Marquis of Anglesey in 1768. He was thus a year older than Napoleon Bona parte, and Napoleon died on the sth of May, 1821 —that is to say, 33 years ago—at the age of 52. A mere juxtaposition of such dates should be more eloquent to those who have followed the records of history, or mixed in English society during the present century, than any com ments of ours. To most of us the Diaries of Lord Byron offer much agreeable information as to the condition of London society when he was a young man, just returned from the Levant. He tells us of the dandies and exquisites of that time, and to us they are historical figures. Nov, these men were to Lord Anglesey mere boys. He had rounded Cape Forty before they devised their waistcoats, or established their impertinent canons of bad taste. He had been a dandy when they wore learning to walk, or, more probable still, lay puling in the arms of their nurses. He had become a man, and put away childish things. He had won reputation with the Duke of York in Flanders. He had married his first wife ; children had been born to him ; and his marriage had been dissolved. He had courtedt_ death by the at the cannon's mouth—at the lance'sp sabre's edge, in order to shake off I s e y n , ce which did man he thought insupportable, andnever, s p an ex u i r os e tl IJ . on this point give greater proofs of sincerity... for certainly the of his history we will not enlarge, mo ment is ill chosen for reflecting upon failings and weaknesses wh ich occurred half a century back, and were redeem ed b y half a c entury of devatio n . F or o urselves, we co nfess we take pleasure in the man's f 1 , i was re collection of the old to be seen am on g st us, the very stately model orm —as it s ex pressed by the hac kne y ed p hrase—" of an officer and a gentleman. He was not only this. He elonged to a race of nobles who have passed away from among us ; he was the last of the race, and we shall know them no more. Your modern Eng li s h peer is a sharp land agent or convey ancer, or a jocular, hair-splitting, law lord, or, if he be of a younger generation, lie is a painful d evo urer of blue-books---a man ready to talk . for three hours upon the condition of Central Asia, or the statistics of dandelions in the county of Salop ; but a nobleman he is not in the sense in Lord Anglesey was one. Society may possibly have gained by the change— we simplify notify the fact that a genus is extinct of which Lord Anglesey was a brilliant example. He was a man pre-eminently fearless and brave, but ever courteous and of high-bred manner. It is very true that nature had given him great advan tages of form and bearing, and the consciousness of his own rank and position might have helped him somewhat in the same direction ; but, inde pendently of all this, there was about him the dignity of a kind heart, and of a man who respects others because he respects himself. There is not much more to be said. We lament over the untimely fate of a young born child, because, had its life been spared, the little creature which lies before us so waxen and inanimate might and won have &Me - so much upon the stage of life, ft4:,Melf honour and a great-name. In the pre heat case we toad ourselves expiesoiaga o"."'w which ve most unfeignedly feel for the loss of a man who had attained a greater age than we, his survivors, can hope to reach. All who ever came into contact with Lord Anglesey must share in the regret ; but there is something more in the feeling than considerations purely personal. In parting with Lord Anglesey we part with an historical period ; we have done with George 111., and the Prince of Wales, and the war of the Titans, and George IV. A student of Alison would have gone back to his library with a greater sense of the realities of that great time from seeing Lord Anglesey canter by in the public streets. That was one of the men who had fought out the great struggle. There may be other survivors, but Lord Anglesey had this in com mon with the Great Duke,—that he was ever before us. We saw him continually and every where. In the parks, in the streets, in assem blies and parties, or stretching down Long Roach in the Pearl, with his groat mainsail set, Lord Anglesey was ever about among his country men. More than this, lie was always ready with a kind act for those whom he could oblige, and with a courteous denial for those who had as ked from him that which it was not in his power to give. If he did not act the highest part in the world's his tory, all he did he did well, and that throughout well-nigh fourscore years and ten. During a por tion of this period he occupied important employ ments, civil and military, and during all of it he remained broadly in the world's eye. That world is not ungrateful, for wherever the news of his death is told all will be sorry that " old Lord An glesey is gone at last," and have a kind word and a kind thought for his memory. With him the old race of nobles is well-nigh burnt out ; so of the Paladins of the last war. Lord Beresford, Lord Londonderry, and Lord Anglesey have not been slow to rejoin their great general, even in the grave. —Times. EXCHEQUER BONDS. (P te P. The motives which in i'om flu h enced ress th ) e Chancellor of the Exchequer, in his proposal for the issue of a new descrip tion of Exchequer Bonds, lie on the surface. An ex hausted treasury forces him at last to acknowledge that necessity for a loan which he has long and strenuously denied The Bank, notwithstanding hint and menace, declines to depart from rules of safe trading at his bid ding. He finds that Deficiency Bills are not the ade quate resource which he once imagined them for meeting war expenditure, and that the just measure of his need taken at the beginning of the session (then rashly im pugned by him) has be en most accurately confirmed by facts. He is now compelled to raise, in some shap or other, those millions which, in pursuance of his abortive at tempt at conversion, be has just finished disbursing. The amount of stock he has paid off at par could not now probably, be replaced by a new loan at a higher rate than 85. To raise six millions he would have to create upwards of seven millions of stook, and the loss to the public would, in consequence, amount to more than one million of pounds sterling. The calculation is easily made. No one can mistake what it is to pay off money one week at par, and to borrow it the next at 15 per cent. discount. Mr. Gladstone may well shrink from coming before the public with the plain statement of facts which the proposal for a new loan would require. The proof of his incapacity would be too glaring to render it possible for him longer to remain at the head of the Exchequer. To avoid so mortifying an exposure, he has recourse to an expedient which he hopes will mystify the public. But it is a common effect of cunning, that it heightens those very difficulties which it hopes, by its artifices, to escape. All those stock-jobbing contrivances by which in the autumn Mr. Gladstone endeavoured to mask his failure only made its ultimate exposure the more signal ; and, in the present case, it is not unlikely - that his efforts to bolster up his damaged reputation will only involve him in deeper confusion. The time is not favourable for those financial experi ments which Mr. Gladstone delights in. His theories may be excellent, but unluckily there is always a hitch in their working. The description of security he now offers is as novel as the last pattern " just out" in a draper's window. As it is quite untried, no test exists by which its value can be estimated. As yet we cannot learn that it is regarded with much favour. It is neither well adapted for the permanent in vestment nor for the temporary use of money. All its conditions depart as widely as possible from established precedent. Thus—interest is to be al lowed on instalments not paid. From the nature of the project no conjecture can be formed beforehand of its success. We do not suppose that Mr. Gladstone will willingly incur the risk of another failure by fixing his reserved terms above the rate at which tenders are likely to be offered, but he is groping in the dark, and may easily miss his way. There is a general impression that his bends will not be taken at par, unless they should happen to find favour with the actuaries of in surance offices. His miscarriages have not only raised a prejudice against him, but have impaired public credit. \That trust which until lately was reposed in the accurate calculations and sagacity of whoever might be at the head of our finances exists no longer. With the prestige of success has departed the confidence which so hugely contributed to it. Supposing him, however, to be com pletely successful in the present instance, he will have managed by his ingenious scheming to exchange so many millions of stock bearing three per cent. interest to so many millions bearing three and a half per cent. In other words, be will succeed in adding 30,0001. per an num to the interest of the public debt. Such an achieve ment, though it shows his ardour in the cause of experi mental finance, will not elevate him in the rank of prac tical statesmanship. As the loan is to be a temporary one, he can think but lightly of the contest in which we are engaged. He proceeds on the assumption that the war is to be a mere brush, and its expense a bagatelle. With a total disre gard of what our financial state may be four years hence, he decides that two millions of bonds shall then be paid off, and the same amount in the two years following. With this experience of his sanguine temperament, we only wonder that he does not proceed further, and pro vide that the whole national debt shall be extinguished at certain fixed periods. A Treasury mandate might be as effectual for one purpose as the other. In its littleness the scheme is in exact accordance with the whole policy of Government. It ignores the fact that we are engaged in a mighty struggle, which will probobly be of long duration, and will assuredly press heavily on our resources, and call for enormous expendi ture- While our anta;onist is preparing for a desperate and prolonged contest, our Chancellor of the Exchequer thinks it sufficient to see his way for a few weeks before him, and makes provision for the cost of a European war as he would for the expense of an encampment at Chobham. THE LATE MARQUIS OF LONDONDERRY. The following address was signed by an immense number of the tenantry of the late Marquis of London derry, a short period before his lordship's decease, and having been recently forwarded to the Dowager Mar chioness of Londonderry, accompanied by a letter of condolence, her ladyship returned the subjoined reply. " ADDRESS. " To the Most Noble Charles William Vane, Marquis of Londonderry, K.G., Sze., &c. "My Lord,—We, the undersigned tenantry on your lordship's Down estates, aro desirous of coming for ward at the present time to express the cordial and heartfelt attachment which we entertain to yourself and your family. We hail with sincere joy the kind ex pressions to which you have given u t tera n ce , in your letter to us of December ith, 1853. We trust that, as your lordship so well describes it, " the happy bond of loyal attachment and affection, so long established and prevailing between your family and their tenantry,' may ever continue ; and we hope that you may never have cause to address them in any other strain than that of satisfac tion, at the faithful discharge of the obligations due to you as their landlord. Whilst we deeply regret that the conduct of any should have been calculated to wound your lordship's feelings, and are sincerely desirous that there should be an oblivion of the past'—we beg to assure you that nothing shall be wanting on our part to convince your lordship, that we have a proper reliance' on the soli citude for our welfare which we have so often experienced at your hands, and that we shall studiously and anxiously endeavour in every way to promote the good feeling, which at present, we are assured, generally exists on the part of the tenantry towards your lordship We fervently pray that a mercif u l Providence may long spare your life ; that the remaining years of it may be peaceful and happy, that you may be cheered by the cordial and sincere attachment of a contented and flourish. ing tenantry, and surrounded by every blessing which this world can afford." "'luny OF THE DOWAGER MARCHIONESS. " Holdernesse House, April 15, 1854. " It has been with mingled feelings of regret and gratis fication that I have received an address from the tenantry of the County of Down Estates—regret that so affectionate a testimony should have arrived too late to be presented to him for whom it was originally intended — gratification that you should have affordd so convincing proof, that you appreciate the discernment and rectitude of principle that ever actuated my beloved husband's con duct in the relationship between him and his Irish tenantry. " While entertaining deep sorrow that he was not per mitted to witness the tribute of respect and affection you had prepared, the reception of which would have caused so much satisfaction and pleasure to his warm and gene rous heart, I feel deeply grateful, that your spontaneous testimony should give an incontrovertible reply to the cen sure and criticisms formerly passed on the actions of one, whose sole desire, I can bear witness, wa s to act towards you all as a kind landlord, and to deserve the place he ever wished to held in your hearts as the father of his tenantry. " Although removed by marriage to another country be fore he succeeded to the family estates and title, he afways devoted a portion of every ye ar to his paternal hearth, and ever loving the bright green isle of his birth, he gloried in the name of an Irishman. " For your kind pity of my desolation and misery, ac cept, I pray you, my grateful thanks. " For me, the sun of life seems to have set for ever. The remainder of it must be sad and solitary, soothed only by the sympathy of his offspring and his f r i en d s •, comforted only I , y the remembrance of his affection and his goodness ; but your address will be treasured as an heir-loom, and will descend to his children's children a record of your appreciation of the landlord you have lost, whose name, as a soldier, will be written in imperishable letters on the brightest pages of history, and whose vir tues, as a husband and a father, none can know but the inconsolable widow and - the sorrowing family he has left to mourn his irreparable loss.
