In the last number of this periodical, Sir Wither Warble invited Ada Vyner and Kate O'Hara 'to spend a day at his castle, with the ostensible object of showing them his curiosities, but in reality to g:ve Kate an opportunity of consulting him upon her future prospects. The first chapter of this part contains a description of their reception and Sir Wither's courteous attentions. Sir 'Wither:is without question the best drawn character in the tale, and Mr. Lever deserves great credit for having so cleverly pourtrayed an eminent retired diplomatist. He is all confidence and affection with his ward, Kate, at this interview, and promises to forward her wishes, and mentally determines to frustrate the deep laid plot of Georgina to effect her dismissal to her friends, that is relatives, in Ireland. To accomplish this he invites that unfortunate lawyer, Mr M‘Kinlay, to dinner, and over their wine he proceeds to draw out the cautious man of parchments. The way in which the old diplomati s t circumvents his antagonist is by awakening doubts and jealousy of the woman to whose hand he had been aspiring; he contrives to obtain all the information that he required, and eventually dismisses the lawyer a sadder if not a wiser man. This is the best written chapter we have yet found in this periodical, and redounds much to the author's credit. The illustrations are well executed. The first represents the " happy dream" of a young girl, who has as yet had no experience of the world, sitting in a chair, and building her future fortunes in her sleep.

Every demonstration of the enemy south of James River has, up to this time, been successfully repelled. 7th, The heroic valour of this army, with the blessing of Almighty God, has thus far checked the principal army of the enemy, and inflicted upon it heavy losses. The eyes and hearts of your countrymen are turned to you with con fidence, and their prayers attend you in your gallant struggle. Encouraged by the success that has been vouchsafed to us, and stimulated by the great interests that depend upon the issue, let every man resolve to endure all and brave all, until, by the assistance of a just and merciful God, tha enemy shall be driven back, and peace secured to our coun try. Continue to emulate the valour of your comrades who have fallen; and remember that it depends upon you whe ther they shall have died in vain. It is in your power, under God, to defeat the last great effort of the enemy, esta blish the independence of your native land, and earn the lasting love and gratitude of your countrymen and the ad miration of mankind.

Just published, Part 11., price ls., of OUR MUTUAL FRIEND, By CHARLES DICKENS. Mr. Romford havingg i paid a visit to the kennels, and not thinking much of the hounds, determined to draft them as soon as possible. After feeling his way in the dark for information, Mr. Romford eventually succeeds in establishing a footing as master of hounds, and does a pretty fair stroke of business; but a change is evidently about to take place. He has been too clever in horse-dealing, and if he has not got himself into any legal trouble, at least he has certainly forfeited the high character that he had claimed. Mr. Sponge was repre sented as a man who, when horses were in the way, had no very strict ideas with regard to the rights of mown and team, but Mr. Romford beats' him hollow, and chuckles over his success; but that success does not last long, and the members of the hunt were indignant. Mr. Sponge sold horses to flats and fools; Mr. Romford did better, he waited for flats and fools to come to him. Lucy, as we anticipated, will presently be introduced into the tale. AUDITORS. Messrs.

It was about a yard in length, and had the head of an eel with a snake aike body. A pro fusion of bright yellow spots, as large in diameter as peas, marked the tail on both sides. When thrown on the beach after being caught it disgorged several small fish. Some of the markings were more like those of a snake than a fish The body bears a close resemblance to that of the four-toed " saurophis" or snake lizard of Southern Africa, but was minus the rudimentary toes and legs. It was a true fish, and we believe new to icthyology.—llliwarra (Australian) Express. CONFEDERATE PREPARATIONS FOR THE CAM PAIGN IN VIRGINIA.—Private information assures me that the troops in Lower Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, and North Carolina, have all moved forward under the gallant Beauregard to the defence of Richmond, he himself remaining with a few brigades in siege of Newbern to cover the movements of the main army. General John ston has already spared a corps d'armee, and it is said that even the Palladin Polk will appear in the fifth act with his veterans. In view of these immense preparations you at once comprehend the magnitude and importance of the Virginia battle, now, perhaps, progressing. It is destined, in the writer's humble opinion, to be not only the most important in our history, but almost the decisive action in event of southern success, of which none here doubt,— Nassau Correspondent of The Index. PLYMOUTH, Sunday Evening.—The iron steam brig Harriet Pinckney, Johns, belonging to Mr. Bond, and bound for Liverpool, put into Millbay this even ing for coal. She left Bermuda May 18, and brings 100 tons of tobacco, 703 bales of cotton, and also £70,000 in gold chiefly on account of the Confederate Government. Among her 14 cabin passengers are Mr and Mrs Musson, Mr H. Tapp, Mr F. Skinner, Miss Desterre, the Rev T. Frith, and Lieut. Brawley, who belongs to the 6th South Carolina Regiment, and lost his arm May 31, 1862, at the battle of Seven Pines, Chickahominy. He left Wilmington May 10 in the steamer Thistle, which followed the Confederate ram Lawley, where she dispersed the Federal blockade ships. At the mouth of the river ten of these were outside, and one made an effort to overtake the Thistle. Ex senator C. C.

The New York, Tribune of to-day asserts that Grant's movement from Spottsylvania was not a flanking movement, but a pursuit of Lee, whose main army had already crossed the North Anna River, when Hancock moved on Friday (20th). General Lee's attack upon Grant's rear on Thurs day was made to cover his retreat. Latest despatches from General Grant assert that Lee has concentrated his army in a strong position between the North and S mth Anna rivers.

The general comman din g ta kes great ple asure in anuouuoing to the armythe series of succ e sses the, by The Quarterly, always worth reading, is this month more than usually interesting. Its subjects range from the buried Italian city of ancient days, with its curious and solemn revelations, to the clang of arms and stirring troubles of present life in the battle fields of Virginia. We are alternately called upon to analyse the mysterious melody of Shakspere's sonnets, and to follow the daring course of young William Napier through the thrilling scenes of the Peninsular War. The Empire of Mexico, old and new, is discussed in an essay that treats of the hidden remains of Astec life ; and in another page the foreign policy of Earl Russell receives so relent less an exposure that supporters of the Ministry can scarcely read it with equanimity. The truth of the open ing passage is no less mortifying than conclusive. "We have been brought up," says the writer, " to believe that England's voice is of weight in the councils of the world. Resting upon the great deeds of past days, we have borne ourselves proudly in our dealings with other countries, speaking in the tone of those who have proved by action the weight and significance of their words. Until recently the rank we have thus assumed has been accorded to us readily. Those who remembered the great war refused to believe that England could not make good her threats or ber pro mises if she thought fit; and, therefore, her representations in many negotiations of deep European moment were listened to with respect. Whatever the language in which they were couched, whatever the wisdom of the statesman from whom they came, foreign Ministers never forgot that they were backed up by, in case of need, the fleet that had baffled Napoleon and the army that had fought at Waterloo. But this condition of things has lamentably changed. No one can be in the least degree conversant with the periodical literature of foreign countries, or hear ever so little of the common talk of foreign society, without being painfully aware that an entire revolution has taken place in the tone of foreign thought in regard to the position of England. Her influence in the councils of Europe has passed away. ThE, reputation of material power upon which that influence was based has suddenly evaporated. It now fails to make even the faintest impression upon States that formerly yielded themselves absolutely to its spell. Whatever else was said of us, no one ever thought of im pugning an Englishman's courage. If the Great War had done little for our popularity, it had at least left deeply graven on the minds of Continental populations that we could fight. But all this is changed now. All the respect for our national character which was founded upon a belici in its cull-dog characteristics has disappeared. Our courage is not only disbelieved, but it is ridiculed as an imposture that has been found out. English bravado and English cowardice are the common staple of popular caricatures. The Englishman furnishes to Continental wits the same sort of standing butt that the Yankee presented to us some three years ago. The estimate of the English character that is felt in every circle and class of society abroad, and expressed without reserve by the press, may be summed up in one phrase, as a portentous mixture of bounce and baseness. The writer follows up this commencement with a series of comparisons of Earl Russell's policy towards the strong and the weak—the affairs of Brazil and Japan, contrasting painfully with the transaction respecting Poland and Den mark. We have not even the consolation of having main tained a dignified neutrality in any of the great questions now agitating both hemispheres. We have afforded indirect encouragement to Polish hopes. Wo have used strong words in their favour, and then left them unaided, while we mourn over the partition which disgraced a former generation, and which our virtuous indignation does not prevent us from seeing re peated in another part of Europe. With regard to Denmark our conduct deserves a harsher name than mere futile pro fession, while as for the great Transatlantic struggle our neutrality has long been recognised as little more than a farce on both sides of the Atlantic. The passages cited in this article from the speeches and despatches of Earl Rusell must shame every lover of his country. Lord Wodehouse's report of the language he held by directions of his chief tells us that he used to the Danish Minister the following words:— "It was my duty to declare to him that if the Danish Go vernment rejected our advice, her Majesty's Government must leave Denmark to encounter Germany upon her own responsibility." As the Quarterly very justly says, it was scarcely possible to imply a promise of assistance in stronger or more precise terms.. And what is the sequel ? " The Danish King has been made to swallow the cup of humilia tion to the dregs —to alienate from himself the affections of his people—to dishonour his own signature—to incur the contempt and increase the audacity of his foes. But Eng land abandons him not less than she did before to encounter Germany upon his own responsibility. If he had rejected the officious advice of England with scorn and had turned the English Plenipotentiary out of his capital as an intru sive meddler, he would not have been in a worse position than he is now." How long will this state of things be suffered by the English people ? The article on Sir William Napier is one of the most inte resting in the number. Among the numerous graphically told anecdotes of the hero's career, we meet with one which well deserves quotation. The incident occurred at Casal Nova where Napier was dangerously wounded— He was carried off the field, and a very gallant and noble minded officer, the present Colonel Sir J. M. Wilson, who was advancing with his company of grenadiers, against the enemy, descried him from a distance stretched on the ground beneath an olive tree. "I ran towards him," writes Sir John Wilson, who had never sat eyes on him before, and said, ' I hope you are not dangerously wounded 1' at which he shook his head. Have you been attended to by a surgeon ?' He nodded assent. Can Ibe of any service to you ?' and again shook his head, but did not utter a word." Captain Wilson had a flask of tea and brandy, and asked him if he would like a little. A sudden beam of pleasure sparkled in his eyes, and he eagerly stretched out his hand. Twice the tumbler was filled, and he drained it with an air of intense enjoyment. " When he had finished," continues Sir John Wilson, "he seized my hand and grasped it several times, as much as to say, ' I don't know who you are, my good fellow, but I feel most grate fully thankful for your kindness' I then said, "Heaven protect you l' and ran off to join my company. I was deeply impressed with the classical outline and beautiful expression of his countenance. In after-life, I often spoko of this wounded officer as the handsomest man I had ever beheld." They did not meet again for 16 years, and neither recognised the other. The scene was dramatic which re vealed to them that their original interview had been be neath the olive tree at Casal Nova. Sir John Wilson was staying with his father-in-law, Sir G. Houlton, at Farley Castle, and the conversation after dinner turned upon handsome men. "Of all the handsome men I have ever seen," said Sir John, "in the various parts of the world where I have been, there was none at all to be compared with the one—" and he proceeded to relate the incident of the wounded officer in Spain. With the tears trickling from his eyes, Napier sprang from his chair, and puttirg his arms rouLd his preserver, exclaimed, "My dear Wilson, was that you? That glass of tea and brandy saved my life I" The tale of tho catastrophe of Pompeii has been often told, but it has not yet lost its gloomy charm. The very full narrative of the explorations in the city will attract the curious. " Shakspere and his Sonnets" is the title of an able article which considers that the chief part of those This very excellent serial fully reaches the stan dard generally attained by all educational and in structive works issued by the Messrs. Chambers. It folly bears out its title by being pictorial and descriptive in a high degree, and many of its engravings are really admirable. It must not be supposed that it is merely a schoolbook for the young, since it is far more adapted to the requirements of older readers. Its style is clear and good, and enriched by numerous quotations. The author has, however, no need to ca:l in the assistance of other writers, since he is well versed in his subject, and gives those minute details of the manners and habits of the people, which give an air of vitality to books of travel. This present number is devoted to the northern part of Germany, so that it will be very acceptable to many who wish to brush up their knowledge of the relative positions and for tunes of those oities and states. The Alexandra Magazine. This little serial is a fresh advocate of woman's social and industrial interests, • and is well adapted for carrying out its views. Stories and verses are of course to be found, but its general character is business-like. The account of the career of the young Irish girl, Ellen Harrington, is very interesting. The second of the " Letters to Women on Money-earning" contains much good sense. We trust, however, that the writer will give some practical information to her readers, showing them how to enter upon a working career, and the best means of following it. The want of such knowledge is often a sad hindrance to young women anxious to earn their bread by some means out of the beaten track of teach ing and sewing. The Eclectic Review. The Eclectic is this month more varied, and con sequently more interesting, than usual. There is a memorial paper on Joseph Sterge, an interest ing article on " Words and Places," and essays on Elihu Burritt'a work on "Travelling in Norway," and on Mr. Carlyle's "Frederick." Some of these will well repay perusal. Newton's London Journal of Arts and Sciences. The principal article discusses the present aspect of the Currency Question. The writer says very truly that our legislators should bear in mind the fact that "we are striving at an impossibility-- viz., with a constantly increasing trade, to prove the suffi ciency for our growing wants of, at the best, a limited cur rency, sensitive to the demands of foreign countries, and having a tendency to contract to meet those demands." The usual accounts of recent patents, scientific meetings, &0,, are given in full detail. Every Boy's Magazine. We have here a miscellany !intended exclusively for boys, and consequently full of wonderful tales of adventure and travel, cricket and conjuring, pigeons and Benjamin Franklin, Pinto the Rover, and Ninco Nanco, the Neapolitan brigand. With such a table of contents what schoolboy could fail to be satisfied The hose, Shamrock, and the 7htstle. This excellent and well-conducted magazine con tinues with unabated spirit. It has a speLial claim on our attention from the fact that it is published at the Eainburgh Caledonian Press, which is exclusively managed by women. Thi s i s however, by no means an ad misericordiam plea, since its typography can fairly bear competition with any of our best periodicals. There are stories, by no means ex clusively sentimental or sensational, essays, poems, and articles of various kinds. One of the principal papers is continued from time to time. It is our " Women of Merit connected with Criminal Trials," mad, as may be supposed, the catalogue includes some eminent names. Last month we had the heroic Countess of Nithedale, who rescued her husband at the peril of her life. This time we have Alice Lisle. A. L. Williams, the author of a well-known book of Essays, contributes an article on ' , Positivism and Poetry in their Relation to Nature Herbert Graham moralises concerning "Th e Theatre," and a lady gives us a very pleasant account of "A Summer ” R am ble in Oxford. Miss Carey's poem is above mediocrity, and there are many other pap ers th a t are well worth read ing. Altogether the number is one of the best which we have seen for some time, and reflects great credit on feminine management. Chanabers'B Journal. This journal has of late been much improved, and the variety of the contents is sure to impress the reader. The new tale of " Lord Lynn's Wife," is a very clever sketch of life ; there is a mixture of the sensational element in its details which, of course, will greatly heighten its attractions to the generality of readers, Even in simple and unassuming narratives this exciting style is now demanded, and authors will soon be puzzled to invent new horrors and fresh mysteries. The poems in this periodical are a l so a b o ve the average merit, thus contrasting favourably with the exploits in th e versification line that appear in the pages of many contemporary serials of the day. The Musical Monthly Is more than usually interesting th is month. The article on Meyerbeer is well written,. and the Tea. party with Music is also a good contribution. The interesting tale, "Modest Mignon," is continued, and with the musical notes, notices, and reviews, make up a very good number. The presentation piece for the piano is a simple ballad, entitled " In my Dreams." It is of the usual description, rather melancholy vc and lackadaisiacal, but p rett y withal. We cannot under • s tand how it is that piec es of sterling merit are not included in these " presentations." If originals cannot b e p rocured th e re are plenty of pie ces at command which, whiletheyi e w ould add variety to the series, would be of essential service to both profi c i en t and student.

This brilliant entertainment, compared by mem bers of the Royal party to the Guards Ball, which has attained so prominent a niche in the temple of festi vities, was held under a marquee covering the entire of Neville's-court, advantage being taken of the cloisters or piazzas surrounding this court on three sides to form continuous avenues richly draped and ornamented, where the guests could promenade or repose at pleasure. The large marquee and awnings, furnished by Edgington, were lighted by spreading circles of gas, with glass shades, to subdue the glare. The crimson tint thrown down from the walls and ceiling of this spherical apartment, 130 ft long by 90ft wide, exercised a wonderful effect in mellowing the hues of the many-coloured assembly, and in winning the very atmosphere to harmony with their pursuits. About 1,100 guests were present, among those included in the Royal circle being the Duke of Cambridge, the Chancellor of the University and Lady Louisa Cavendish, Lord and Lady Hardwick°, the Duke and Duchess of Manchester, the Duke of Rutland, Lord and Lady Palmerston, Lord Granville, Lord and Lady Fitz william, Lord and Lady Spencer, Lord Powis, Marquis Camden, Marquis of Hart ington, Lord Newry, &c. Dancing began immediately after the arrival of the Royal party, who were very early in their attendance, and was kept up with spirit, to the strains of Jullien's band, on the part of the general company, until four o'clock. On this occasion her Royal Highness laid aside the sombre dress that she had worn during the pre vious portion of her visit, and appeared in rich evening cos tume of white, with headdress and necklace of brilliants. It was remarked with satisfaction that notwithstanding the amount of exertion entailed by the day's proceedings fewer traces of fatigue were visible than on the former evening. Supper, with the details of which Mr. Gunter was charged, was served about one o'clook, in the spacious hall of the college. The appioaeh to this from the ball-room was by a flight of steps upon which hundreds of valuable plants given by Mr. Sto.ndieh of tha Royal Nurseries, Ascot, and by Mr. Waterer, of Bagshot, were so arranged as to sug gest the idea of a balcony or tribune. The effect produced was one of the most noticeable features in arrangements threnghout characterised by excellent taste. About half past two o'clock their Royal Highnesses retired to !he state rooms fitted up for their accommodation in the Master's Lodge, the same which her Majesty occupied on 'her visits to Cambridge in 1813 and 1817. The more aris tocratic portion of the assembly took its departure shortly afterwards, and as carriage after carriage with its lights and servitors flashed out of the ancient gateway, it was difficult to believe that some grand West-end gathering was not dis solving, and that the scene then coming to an end really occurred within the tranquil precincts of the University. On Friday night what for the sake of distinction may be called the public portion of the visit to Cambridge ended, and if the universal pleasure it afforded and the smoothness with whLh all passed off be accepted as tests, no doub'z can exist of its entire success. The weather from first to last was favourable, and there was not a hitch of any kind in the arrangements. Everything took place at the time fixed, and in passing from point to point there was not the least obstruction. The authorities, aware that the tranquillity of their ordinary life was by no means a good preparation for the crowding and excitement of a Royal visit, placed themselves, as far as external preparations were concerned, unreservedly in the hands of the A division. To Superin tendent Walker, the head of that division, upon whom de volved the duty of organizing and executing all the details, an official communication was made expressing thanks and satisfaction with the results attained by his energetic super vision. . On Saturday, shortly after 12 o'clock, the Prince and Princess of Wales paid a visit privat e ly t o t h e library of Trinity College, a building erected in the 17th century, and remarkable, among many other attractions, for its beau• tiful statue of Lord Byron, by Thorwaldsen. About half-past twelve o'clock the Royal p ar t y d rove to Madingley-hell, the seat o f L ady King, where during his stay at Carabri.lge as an undergraduate his Royal Highness took up his residence. At this point the Hun tingdon Mounted Rifles, commanded by the Duke of Manch e ster, enjoyed th e we l l-earned dist i nct i on of being reviewed by th e P r i nce of Wales. The review did notindeed take place on Lady King's demense, as there ap peared to be an i mpression that a body of cavalry so well appointed might d es t roy t h e tur f . B ut a fi e ld c l ose a t h an d was found f or th e purpose, in which an opportxnity was afforded to th ose good swordsmen, an d st ill b etter h orsemen, of displaying their proficiency. His Royal Highness ex pressed great satisfaction with all that he had seen, and re quested that his acknowledgements and those of the Princess might be conveyed to the corps for the part they had borne in a reception so highly gratifying. From Madingley-hall the Royal party returned to Magdingley Cottage, where they launched with the master, the Hon. and Rev. L. Neville. The thoroughfares leading to the railway station were nearly as crowded as on the day of the public entry, and the University Volunteers, under the command of Colonel Baker, attended, as on the former occasion, to line the plat form as a guard of honour. The Heads of Colleges , who were supposed to have taken leave of their R o yal High nesses the previou s eve ni n g,surprised attending of the at the University, railwa fully rob to seethem ed t f depart, ht or e m R presented to the Royal party on their arriv al was ver y brilliant.

At Hitchin, w h ere a delay of a few minutes took place, a little incident occurred very characteristic of the relations between the Royal family and the English people. Just as the train was about to wove on again, a b ouquet of white and red roses was thrown towards the wind ow of the Royal carriage. Its appearance showed that it had come from a humble garden, and not from a conservatory. It was a small bouquet, and it fell short. A railway l orter, unwilling that it should lie on the rails to be crushed, or possibly with some indefinite notion of finding the owner and returning it, picked it up and carried it along in his hand. But the occurrence had been seen from the Royal carriage. Time was wade to call back the porter awl to take in the bouquet, and as the train sped on its way, the renewed intensity of the cheering from the platform showed what pleasure had been given by this hasty but spentaneous act of courtesy. SPLENDID FlSHlNG.—Gencral Grey was out on Monday angling on the Involcauld fishing ground. In the course of a few hours the general was successful in landing- with the rod no fewer than nine splendid salmon. The spot where they were caught was the Clarak Pool, close beside the Old Bridge of Invercauld.--Dundee Advertiser.
