LONDON, TUESDAY, FEB. 9, 1864. grieved to remark, Lord PALME RSTON, we are is already at it a g ain. As thou g h, in spite of his years, he were the most incorrigible of wags, the Premier is still ben t apparently, beyo n d all things else, upon tickling his hearers, in the Rouse o f Commons, into laughter. Whatever the theme, no matter how grave may be the subject under discus sion, the veteran leader of the House cannot for the life of him rise to speak, if it be only for a very few minutes, but what, ten thousand chances to one, the reporter has to record narenthetically (a laugh), or (laughter), or (renewed laughter). It is, for all the world, svetningly, as though one might a pply to Viscount PALMERSTON, towards the close o f his tenure of power as Prime Minister of Eng land, the reproach humorously applied by that arch wit, 6YDNEY SMITH, to Viscount MELBOURNE, towards the close of his tenure of power in the sa me supreme capacity, namely, as First Lord of the Treasury. The serio-comic reproach, namely, that he (the Premier) was, to all appearance, disposed to play at chuck -farthing with the destinies of the nation, and, for that matter, as SYDNEY SMITH ex pressed it-7.s SYDNEY SMITH alone could express it—to gaggle away the Constitution. Adopting this w principle of Government, we might just as well, so far as the decorum of debate is in any way con cerned, have the chief pasts of the Cabinet nightly performed, by others among the great contem porary comedians of Lord PALMERSTON. Very full " Houses" might by this arrangement be always secured by a comic Cabinet represented upon the Treasury Bench let us say by Messrs. CHARLES MATHEWS, BUCKSTONE, COMPTON, TOOLE, SOTHERN, and PAUL BEDFORD. Lord PALMERSTON even then being still allowed, if he pleased, to play his own part to the life as Master of the Revels—the Premier being per fectly competent " to hold his own," even if seated in the midst of such formidable rivals as caterers for the popular amusement. Last evening was just an illustration of the pertinacity wit!! which, in season and out of season, Lord PALMER STON is perpetually striving, not altogether unsuccessfully, to put the house upon the broad grin by his light-in-hand, touch-and-go, manner of handling the reins of Government. The hon. gentleman, the member for West Norfolk asks very gravely and very reasonably a question bearing upon Naval and Military matters at this exceedingly critical juncture when war is actually being waged against Denmark by the two chief powers of Germany, the noble lord, the mem ber for Stamford, previously, asking another very grave question, one more directly even than that of the member for West Norfolk, bearing upon the momentous position of affairs, yonder, in Denmark. To neither of these questions could Lord PALMERSTON vouchsafe a reply—and he replied to them separately—without provoking —(a laugh). Where the joke possibly can be in the war, we can't see : and we certainly don't feel in the least disposed to yield precedence, or priority, or anything of that kind, to anyone in the instantaneous recognition of a joke, when there is one in any way recognisable. But no—the fact of the matter appears to be this: that the Premier being dragged now deeper and deeper into the mire by a cluster of either do-nothing or perversely bungling colleagues, is heroically striving, as Lord MELBOURNE did before him, to carry the doubtful and occasionally perilous position off lightly, joy ously, airily—as though it were the best fun in the world—with a laugh ! An ingenious device, but one hardly decorous, and one in no way likely to last very much longer. Once again has the Bench of England vindicated its well-earned title to respect for its fearless up holding of the laws of the country. Yesterday the all-important case of the Alexandra was again de cided against the Crown. In the Exchequer Chamber the appeal from the Court of Exchequer for a new trial was discharged upon technical grounds—Sir HUGH CAIRNS having raised the objection on Saturday that the Court had no juris diction. Yesterday morning judgment was given discharging the rule for a new trial. Their lord ships were, however, divided in opinion. Lord Chief Justice COCKBURN, and Justices CROMPTON, BLACKBURN, and MELLOR were opposed to grant ing a new trial, or rather held that they had no jurisdiction; while Lord Chief Justice ERLE, and and Justices WILLIAMS and WILLES were in favour of granting a new trial. It is not our object to enter upon the legal merits of the case, because whatever had been the decision of the Court, the case must ultimately have gone to the House of Lords. But it is satisfactory to hear the exponents of our laws speaking out so boldly and earnestly as they have done throughout this protracted trial. Mr. Justice BLACKBURN, in stating his opinion, observed that "he had to consider the objection raised in a legal point of view, and deliver his judgment as he thought the law warranted, with out consideration of what would be its effect and consequent result." Lord Chief Justice COCKBURN and others spoke to the same purport, all express ing their conviction that, as the case would be car ried to the Lords, the interests of neither side would be affected. We now, therefore, must wait patiently until their lordships adjudicate upon the matter. In the meanwhile, Mr. SEWARD is as practically triumphant as if the Alexandra and the other vessels whose fate is to be decided by that of the Alexandra, had been condemned and confiscated at the period of his first modest request. Who shall hereafter be bold enough to assert that bluster and insolence have now power with a British Ministry ? The Alabama is said to have escaped from Liverpool—at least so Mr. ADAMS was in formed ; but Lord PALMERSTON stated in the House that he believed that if he had stopped the Alabama the Government would have been liable for damages. Earl RUSSELL also considered that it was necessary to show that the owners intended to employ in a hostile way the ships before they can be legally seized. Why then, but a short time afterwards, does his Lordship so completely change his plan of action. Lord DERBY furnished an answer in his speech in the House of Lords last Thursday evening. He drew atten tion to the fast that Mr. SEWARD had forwarded a despatch to the Ambassador of the United States in London, in which it was stated that unless a stop was put to the sale of vessels of the Alabama class in this country, the result must be that the Federal Government must take the law into their own hands, that their cruisers would follow such vessels into British ports, and in British waters, to main tain their own interests. His lordship went on to remark that he hoped Earl RUSSELL had answered this dispatch in a manner which would put a stop to such monstrous demands for the future. How ever the dispatch was received in this country in the latter part of August last, and early in Septem ber, the noble earl adopted the strong measure of seizing the so-called Confederate rams in the Mersey. The inference to be drawn from this fact is obvious enough. Last year it was the opinion of the legal advisers of the Crown that the Government were not warranted in interfering, but so soon as Mr. SEWARD writes a bullying letter, Earl RUSSELL eats humble pie, and does the very same thing which, but a short time ago, he pronounced to be illegal. The Americans have no right to com• plain, for our Government have gone further than is sanctioned by the Supreme Court of Washington. We have before us a small volume on the Foreign Enlistment Acts of England and America,* in which the various acts are clearly defined, and we find that on orders to the collectors of customs at the United States ports "they , shall detain no vessels, though manifestly intended for warlike purposes, where the owners give security that they the owners, do not intend using them in a manner hostile to th ose a t peace w i t h t h e U n it e d S tates ," Well might Mr. SEWARD threaten to send Federal cruisers into British waters to make reprisals when the act had already been committed with impunity. Whe e n ne a n :: s ed v e e %a s l el cr w ui i s t e h r in m a ay fe u w nques- unques tioned sink an hun dred yards of British territory, as in the case of the Margaret a n d Jessey am ong the Bahama islands, and more recently the treatment of the Anglo Saxon off the Cape of Good Hope—to say nothing of the outrages daily committed upon British ships on the high seas, which are too often unjustly seized by the United States men-of-war, to be as illegally condemned by the prize courts of the United States—we trust that the case of the A:exandra may be soon decided by the House of Lords; for until this vexed questi on i s defini tively settled the principle of English law is vir tually reversed, and instead of a men being deemed * The Foreign Enlistment Acts of England a n d America. By Vigilans. Saunders and 0:!ey, innocent until he is proved guilty, the owners of the Alexandra are deemed guilty, until every court of jurisdiction has been appealed to, in order to gain time for the plaintiffs. By this indirect mode of aiding the Federals, Earl RUSSELL may flatter himself that he is doing a clever thing, whereas he pleases nobody, and brings England into general contempt. The weak and timorous policy of the ABERDEEN Ministry involved us in the Crimean War, and it is not unlikely that the vacillating and pusillanimous conduct of our present Foreign policy may bring about a similar catastrophe. gloomy, low, damp.looking place, situated on an island in the Hudson, and described as the very ideal of a State prison. By - some means' or another Mr. Rooke induce the Marshal to permit him to call at an hotel on the road. There he found two officers of the Artillery, one of whom provided him with money and the other accompanied Mr. Rooke to his destination. These two kept the Marshal in good humour during the short journey, by continually stopping to administer drinks to him. Arrived at the shore opposite Fdrt Lafayette, Mr. Rooke was handed over to the commandant, who very gruffly refused to permit his companions to view the prison. Mr. Rooke, however, in subsequent communications has informed him that he has nothing particular to complain of in his treatment. Lord Lyons, the British Consul at New York, and Col. Rowan, R.A., have all been exerting themselves. The first pressed Mr. Seward to order an immediate investigation, but of this there seems no chance. Mr. Seward informed Lord Lyons that it was a very serious matter, that he had every reason to think Mr. Rooke was connected with an organised system of correspondence with the Southern States, and that a communication would be made to the British Government on the subject. Lord Lyons answered that he thought this most unlikely on account of the youth of the prisoner. Mr. Seward subsequently but, according to the drewlatest accountsinalittle, Mr. Rooke was lik e ly t o wait for justice for some time, and to find, from bitter experience, that " Civis Roman u s su m" was no longer a talisman. Mr. Rooke asserts that he had to intentions hostile to the Federals, and that he was ignorant of the nature of the packet entrusted to him. The climax of this tale of insolence and oppression is to be found in the fact that the autho rities have actuslly permitted the newspapers to publish extracts from Mr. Rooke's private journal, which was taken possession of at the same time as the letters. Although the busier and more important scenes of European warfare have unhappily been so near us during the last few weeks as to distract our thoughts from the troubles of the colonies, yet the intelligence from the seat of war in New Zealand has been looked for with considerable interest. Those whose friends or relatives are engaged in that struggle for supremacy at the antipodes must naturally await full tidings with painful anxiety, but to all Englishmen the result of the struggle must be of some importance. There can happily be no doubt of its eventual issue, but on that struggle hangs the future of the colony. It is evi dent that the Maories must be forced to feel and acknowledge our superiority ; since every attempt at conciliation has failed to avert treachery and hatred, it is manifest that they must be taught respect. Let them have a full right to every privi lege belonging to British subjects, let them have full protection from the laws, and any advantage they may choose to claim, but it is high time that they should learn that murder are no venial offences in the English decalogae. The news received by the last mail left the troops in pursuit of the Maories, who had evacuated their stronghold at Mere-mere, and had retreated to another strong position at a spot called " Kangiriri," or Angry Heavens, situated on the Waikato river. The name proved to them a fitting augury, for the skies were unpropitious, and after twenty-four hours fighting they were disloged from their position. This long and stubborn fight proves the mettle of the natives, and the list of casualties show that they are no contemptible adversaries in the way of inflicting damage, although of course, like other savage nations, totally destitute of any chance of success against disciplined troops. According to the telegram received from Alexandria, the affair was most conclusive, resulting in a decisive defeat of the natives, not merely a simple dislodgement from their position, as before, at Mere-mere. 183 prisoners, including many chiefs, were captured, and of course heavy losses inflicted on the enemy, although, unfortunately, we have on our own side to deplore many brave men killed and wounded. No less than 4 officers killed, 11 wounded, 37 non-commissioned officers and privates killed and 80 wounded, testify to the severity of the struggle, but we may reasonably hope that their blood has not been shed in vain. After so complete a rout, which is by far the greatest reverse they have yet met with, the Maories must be completely discouraged. They must be fully convinced of the hopelessness of meeting British troops in open fight, while the establish ment of the flying columns which scour the bush will deprive them of their last stronghold, and put an effectual stop to that barbarous :system of gue rilla warfare which delights in murdering in cold blood men; women, and children, whether as stray travellers or as residents on an outlying station. The frequency and cruelty of these massacres showed the savage nature of the war, and the determina tion of the natives to prosecute it a routrance, and we cannot wonder that the settlers unanimously insisted on vigorous measures being taken for the defence of their hearths and settlements. They were ready enough to come forward with all the assistance which a Government could demand, but they felt it was no time for child's play; no smooth words and hesitating half measures would do. Sir GEORGE GREY fully concurred in this view, although his earlier inclinations, as we know, were on the side of leniency and caneiliation. It is worth noticing, as a sign of the unanimous feeling of the colony, that many of the warmest advocates of peace and friendship with the natives were foremost in declaring that the present crisis demanded stronger measures. It is no sign of harshness, injustice, or oppression towards a weaker race that our colonists should meet treachery, vindictiveness, and obstinate antagonism with the sword. It is a lamentable re sult of the advantages which the Maoris have de rived from nature, and the opportunities of civilisa tion and culture that have been placed in their way. The colonial authorities will have a trouble some task before them when the actual warfare is over, and the various questions respecting the occu pation of the disputed lands and other compli cated questions have to be settled. We cannot doubt that, as representatives at once of English principle and power, they will combine justice and mercy in their dealings with the natives, having regard alike to the claims of the native race and to what is due to our peaceable and industrious settlers.

The particulars may be relied on, as they have been communicated by one who recently saw and conversed with the victim of Lord Rus sell's "rest and be thankful" policy. A young lieutenant in the Royal Artillery, quartered at Ber muda, recently obtained leave of absence for the purpose of visiting the Federal states. After spend ing some time there be became desirous of visiting in its turn the Southern Confederacy, and with that view embarked on board a blockade-runner, sailing from one of the Northern ports. The ship was captured by a cruiser, bat Mr. Rooke being merely a passenger, and not the bearer of any cor respondence, was at once set at liberty. He then went to Baltimore, where he stopped till the expira tion of his leave was approaching, when he took his passage on board the regular steamer plying be tween New York and Bermuda. Some Baltimore young ladies of Southern feelings, with whom Mr. Rooke had become very intimate during his stay in that town, asked him to take charge of a letter and deliver it to a certain address at Bermuda. Know ing nothing of the contents of the letter entrusted to him, of the person to whom it was addressed, or of the object with which it was so addressed, he willingly consented to take charge of it. The moment of departure came, and Mr, Rooke was already on board the steamer, when the Yankee City Marshal, notwithstanding that the ship was bound direct to a British pert, made his ap pearance and searched all the luggage, espionage and searching being now Republican institutions. Mr. Rooke, probably because of the politics of the ladies of whose letter he was the bearer, very foolishly hid it under his bed. In this very pal pable place of concealment it was soon found, and, of course, unscrupulously opened and read. The consequence was, that Mr. Rooke was arrested and taken off to the city jail, where he was kept for 48 hours, during which time he was treated with the greatest malignity, being made to sweep his cell out and perform all other menial offices, just as if he had been a convicted malefactor, instead of a sus pected political offender. At the end of 48 hours it was decided that he should be given up. Inside the large letter were found several others addressed to persons in the Southern States, and which were to have been posted for that destination by the in dividual to whom the covering letter was to have been given. The City Marshal was accordingly sent off in a ear with him to Fort Lafayette, a THh SUN. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 9, 1864. CANTERBURY HALL, Last night a very splendid entertainment was produced at the Canterbury Hall, entitled " Prince Blossom in the Land of Shadows." As will be gathered from the title, Professor Pepper's dis covery, popularly known as " The Ghost," is the means by which Mr. Charles Morton has been enabled to entirely eclipse everything that has yet been presented to the public through that clever and very popular optical illusion. As president of the " Ghost Club," Mr. Morton, we suppose, thought the public looked to him for some very splendid pro duction, accordingly he set about his task with his usual earnestness, and, in the marvellous entertain ment presented to his patrons last evening, he has shown himself a first rate judge of what will please the public in the shape of ghosts. It is no easy task to describe the extreme beauty of the enter tainment, so, at the outset, we may as well candidly admit that our efforts will certainly fall short—very short of the actual reality. The curtain rises on a pretty woodland scene—we beg pardon—a fairy glade, with two beautiful fountains throwing up their myriads of sparkling drops. Prince Blossom enters, having separated himself from his hunting com panions, and after singing a capital cosmopolitan medley, he drinks from one of the fountains, when it instantly becomes illuminated, and the fairy Queen Aquarius appears in the midst of its pris • matic and sparkling shower to welcome the Prince to her fairy dell. The Prince is then introduced to the King of the Enchanted Dominion, who appears in the other fountain, and under the same brilliant aspect as that of his radiant lady. Finding " the idol of his heart's fondest affection" is married, the Prince accepts a general invitation from the King to call upon them when he pleases, and Fame is desired to summon the attendant fairies by " blowing his own trumpet." The kingly mandate is obeyed, a ballet is performed , an d the curtain falls as the entire group, in the most wonderful man ner, appear to descend to their fairy home. The whole of this brilliant entertainment, wish the ex ception of the character of Prince Blossom, which was very archly sustained by Miss Townley, is effected by the aid, as we have said before, of Pro fessor Pepper's optical illusion, and certainly that clever personage could never have contemplated such wonderful effects as those Mr. Morton has produced. The flight of Fame through the sparkling showers of the glittering fountains as the Naiads seek their beds in the crystal waters, forms a coup dceil of beauty unparalleled even in fairy romance. The audience were in a perfect frenzy of delight. Loud cries of "Bravo, bravo," and calls of " Morton, Morton," came from all sides. By the time that gentleman appeared to acknow ledge the applause, the cheering had swelled itself into a perfect hurricane, and it was same time after Mr. Morton had retired that the enthusiasm pro duced by the gorgeous spectacle subsided. Those present last evening may congratulate themselves upon their good fortune, for certainly when the splendour of the new entertainment be comes known, and that will occupy but a very short space of time, all London will be attracted to the Canterbury Hall and then sitting accommodation will be at a premium. SLIP-SHOD EN GLISH.—A correspondent of the Morning Post points out the following instance of it in no less important an inscription than that on the tomb stone of the late Archbishop of Canterbury' :—" To the memory of John Bird Sumner, D.D., Archbishop of Can terbury ; consecrated Bishop of Chester 1828 ; translated to Canterbury 1848; died Sept. 6, 1862, in the 83d year of his age." On what principle of syntax, the writer asks, is the word " died" used here ? RUSSIAN TELEGRAPHS.—The telegraphic line between Omsk and Irkutzk is now finished. The first de spatches sent from the latter town on the 21st December, at noon, were received at St. Petersburg the same day at half-past Bin the evening, having traversed the enormous distance of 5 ,75 0 versts (820 German miles). A letter from Irkutzk takes 24 days to arrive at St. Petersburg.— Invaltde Busse. LITERATTDIE, Popular Edition of Macaulay's History of England. Part Four. Longman and Co. This work, now being published in shilling monthly parts, has already advanced so far in its regular periodical issue as to have placed within the hands of its multitude of purchasers, with the present instalment, the completion of the First Volume. That first v9lume, led off, it may be remembered, with a brief, but deeply interesting memoir of the Great Essayist—for with all our ad miration for the marvellous beauties of his magnum opus, he is far greater, in our estimation of his genius, as an Essayist than as a Historian. After the " Memoir of Lord Macaulay," there are here comprised within the compass of very nearly four hundred closely-printed double-columned pages (to be precise, exactly 395 pages) the six opening chap ters of his enthralling narrative. First of all, there is that magnificent Introduction, giving us within less than one hundred of these pages the whole survey of our national history ab initio down to the epoch of the Restoration. Chapter I' wo carries the European annals down to the demise of Louis the Fourteenth. Chapter Three gives that un paralleled epitome of the state of a great nation at a memorable period in its history—showing us what England was towards the close of the Reign of the Second Charles, in regard to its revenue, its population, its agriculture, its commerce, its capital, its country towns, its fashion, police, its postal system, highways, hostelries, newspapers, newsletters, literature, arts, sciences, wealth, pauperism, morality, or rather, it should be said, remembering what the epoch was—its immorality. Chapter Four, beginning with the death of Charles the Second, and ending with the introduction of the bill for the removal of the attainder of Stafford, relates, according to Macaulay's view of things, all about Oates, about Baxter, and about Dangerfield. Chapter Five contains within it, among many other Macaulayan records of memorable incidents, the account of the execution of Montrose, the account of the Bloody Assizes, the account of the flight, capture, and death of Monmouth. Chapter the Sixth and last in volume one, opening with the power of Jamas the Second at its height, closes with the dismission of Rochester, with the dismission of Clarendon, and with the fall of the Hydes. Altogether a noble volume, rhetorically considered, or viewed, let as say, as a great literary performance. But as the work of a historian—according to our ap preciation of it, about as free from party prejudices and party predilections as though Lord Macaulay had been really and truly what one of his cynical depricators dubbed him, in a moment of excessive indignation, no better than a great Whig Pam phleteer. The Last of the Cavaliers. New Edition. Bentley, The new volume of Bentley's Popular Novels con tains the very romantic and interesting story of "The Last of the Cavaliers." The chivalrous Grahame of Claverhouse is here depicted with a happy pencil, and the charming and loveable Alice Scott will win the hearts of all who read her story. As a felicitous specimen of the romance of history, this story has been wisey selected for a popular edition. It is embellished with two illustrations—" The Challenge," and " Rejected Love." Dr. SievekAng on Epilepsy. Second edition, revised and enlarged. Churchill. The recent appointment of Dr. Sieveking in the household of the Prince of Wales may naturally render any new work from his pen an object of par ticular attention. A very cursory examination of his writings, however, will be a sufficient guarantee that his official appointment is not due to Court favour but to individual ability. His observations are characterised by so much common sense and practical wisdom that the un-professional reader may learn much from his pages, while to the less ex perienced of his medical brethren his researches are' likely to prove of incalculable advantage. The disease which forms the principal subject of this volume is considered in all its symptoms and in all its bearings, and very encouraging examples are given of the beneficial efficacy of medical science and skill in its ultimate cure. Some very useful and impor tant advice on general hygienic laws is given in the last chapter. The forcing system in educational training, so much in vogue in the present day, is very wisely censured for its evil consequences in after life. "A whole chapter on the moral manage ment of the nursery," says the Doctor, " might not be out of place here, did it not occupy more space than I can devote to the sqbject." He has said enough, however, to afford ample and satisfactory testimony that the medical supervision of the Royal nursery at Marlborough House is in excellent hands. Dan to Beersheba ; or, Northern and Southern Friends. One Vol. pp. 336. Chapman and Hall. This is an interesting story of American life, which relates the adventures of Sybil Fanning, a Northern lady on her visit to some Southern friends. The social life of North and South is brought into vivid contrast, the author's sympathies being in clined to the former, and the horrors of slavery occasionally darken the pages, CASSELL'S SHARSPERE TERCENTENARY POCKET KEEPSAKE:—In connection with their wonderful Penny-a-week Illustrated Edition of the Dramatic Works of Shakspere, now being issued in anticipa tion of the coming tercentenary anniversary of the Poet's Birth (on the 23d of April, 1561, in the upper room of the little old two-storied house at Stratford-upon.Avon)—the Messrs. Cassell, Petter, and Galpin have just now published this really ex quisite little bijou of a pocket keepsake. The design of it, as a memento, is " to show the wonderful scope which Shakspere affords for illustrating, by quota tion, almost every conceivable subject." This is accomplished, readily enough, by accompanying es ch of the facts recorded in the calendar of the twelve months of 1864 with an appropriate quotation. Opposite the pages of the months are— besides this— (what is inestimable just no w in such a pocket keepsake) the very pick of the few reliable scraps of information of which the world has any positive knowledge in regard to Shalopere. Opposite January, for example, in one sufficient paragraph, we are told all that there is to know about the name of Shakspere. Opposite February—all about Stratford-upon-Avon, his birthplace and his death place. And so on : opposite, March—his Home : April—his Birthday : May—his Boyhood : June— his Marriage : July—his Wit : August—his Early Editions: September—his Will : October—his Monument: November —Tributes to his Genius : December—the state of contemporary literature, that is, of course, in the time of Shakspere. A perfect Shaksperian Treasury, in fact, this little Keepsake is, and one, moreover, that is purchasable by any one for a penny, twopence, or threepence, accordingly as the said purchaser may care for it, in gilt paper, gilt cloth, or gilt leather. THE DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE. —"Mark Wylder's Hand" is at last concluded. This story has gone on for some time, and been a constant feature of attraction in the pages of this magazine. The conclusion is a very impressive one, and the reader is almost bewild ered by the succession of startling changes that take p lace. "Wylder's Hand" at last reveals his doom, and from his un abl hallowedneated grave tel le, on ls of his untimely end. Th is is a very y deli ta the whole, and will doubtless be a favourite with the lovers of the marvellous. There are many well sketched charac ters encountered in its course, and the discomfiture of the lawyer will delight all who have watched his circuitous road and his want of good feeling. The new story called " Yaxley and its Neighbourhood" is continued, and pro mises to be interesting as it proceeds. There is a very interesting article on " Lord Lyndhurst," which will be read with attention, and can afford some entertaining re miniscences to those who are pleased to discuss a great man's career,,when he has departed from amongst us, It is said that Lord Lyndhurst would have been a more successful man had he devoted himself more exclusively to either politics or law, instead of endeavouring to combine them. "Their Majesty's Servants" affords us glimpses of some histrionic celebrities, and is worth of notice. "The Court of Frederic 'William" is rather a gloomy reminiscence of that period ; and " Etchings of the Confederacy" is a spirited sketch of the South as it appears to us during the war. It is said that all we know of the Southerners tends to elevate our opinion of them, and to match their merits "we must go back to the tinier of those ancient heroes whose example genius has consecrated in undying records." This sketch is written in a spirited manner, and is worthy of the subject of which it treats. Some readers will be glad to catch a chance of hearing something of " Paul Feval," the author of "Bel Demonio" and the "Duke's Motto." There is a paper on " Shakspere's New Editors," which contains some very just strictures on the futile at- tempts that are made to alter and rearrange what had much better be left alone, and is no way benefited _by their inter- ference, LUTTRELL OF ARRAN. By Charles Lever. No. 3.—ln this number the story makes but little progress, although possible future events are fore shadowed. Sir Gervais Vyner penetrates into the Irish Highlands to examine the property which he is desirous of purchasing. He is accompanied by his friend Grenfeld, who, by the way, is becoming something of a bore to the reader, and he evidently is to his friend N yner. The description of the rebel keeper of the moun- tain " Sbebeen," and his escape and troubles in ninety- eight, are imbued with that zest which distinguishes all Mr. Lever's delineations of native character. The rude yet hospitable reception of Vyner in the mountain retreat of the . _ outlaws is characteristic of the wild Celtic race, the contrast between whom and the careless adventurous Englishman is singular. In these portions of the number the reader receives some compensation for the disappointment he ex perienced in the first chapter, wherein Mr. Mackinlay holds a loving tote-a• tete with the butler at the cottage in Wales, and is disturbed by an unexpected and most improbable visit from a party of tourists, who storm the cottage and then beat a hasty retreat, without any particular object. There may hereafter be some explanation for this, but for the present we are left to uncertainty. VICTORIA MAGAZINE.--Thomas Hughes, well known as a kindly practical philosopher, as well as the most popular exponent of school life, gives us a genial account of the new social experiment now being made in Commercial-street, Whitechapel. If the establishment is at all what it is represented to be, and the visitor was not favoured with an extra supply of "soup, meat, potatoes, and plum pudding for fourpence halfpenny" in deference to his superior gentility, it is certainly a marvellous affair, especially as we learn that its managers succeed in paying rent, wages, and interest on their capital, besides all current expenses. It would be well if such institutions were a little more general in our poorer neighbourhoods, and it would be a deed of real and practi- cal kindness to aid in establishing them. A long and well written paper on Robert Browning shows a full appreciation of his merits—fuller, indeed, than most readers will be in clined to share in. Mr. Thomas Adolphus Trollope con tinues his interesting story of " Lindisfarn Chase," and leaves poor, straightforward, honest Kate hopelessly entangled in the meshes of the syren Marguerite. It is to be hoped that the chapter of accidents will befriend her, since the old Doctor has already some suspicion of the truth. Professor Leone Levi contributes a lengthened article on the Decimal Coinage, and Mr. Nassau, senior, proceeds with his "Journal kept in Egypt," This number is altogether a good one. MACMILLAN'S MAGAZINE.—The most attractive feature in this magazine is, of course, Mr. Henry Kingsley's Istory "The Hillyars and the . Burtons " which loses none of its interest. Another story going on at the same time is laid in the very antipodes of the sunny colony of Cooksland. Never theless, the young student's career at a Scotch university has its romance as well as the loves and fortunes of Getty Neville and Emma Burton. The "Competition Wallah " continues his letters, which are useful in throwing an every-day homely light on some Anglo-Indian perplexities. He is honest and uncompromising in his views of our rule and influence in our great Indian empire. Matthew Arnold gives us the second part of "A French Eton," and the editor recalls some traits of old Marischal College and its worthies. The very last paper in the number is by no means the least, for it is an eloquent and feeling tribute to the genius and goodness of Thackeray. THE NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. " Africa Laid Open " is the title of the first paper, founded on some of the more noticeable of the recent works on that country. Sir Nathaniel discourses agreeably enough about Marcus Junius Brutus. The two long tales which are now proceeding are neither of them very attrac tive, but a new one has begun which we must hope may improve upon them. We have besides an account of an Alpine ascent, a criticism on " The Gentle woman," a chant for the infant Prince, a poem on Thackeray, and an article on France and its journalism. THE ECLECTIC REVIEW.—This number is more interesting than usual, being less sectarian. We have a criticism on Mr. Froude's " Elizabeth," a paper on Mr. Charles Knight's " Recollections," an article on New Zealand, and a lengthened essay on " Noses," whioh sets forth in impressive style the special characteristics of that organ, THE JOURNAL OF THE WORKHOUSE VISITING SOCIETY. No. XXVIII.—,This journal, which has now taken a recognised place among our eerie! literature, devotes itself to all matters concerning workhouses and their inmates. The working of our Poor-law system is not so satisfactory as to be able to dispense with supervision, and the best and most efficient check on their proceedings is afforded by voluntary inspectors. The Workhouse Visiting Society have done good service in calling public attention to many deficiencies existing in our unions, in encouraging the establishment of schools and the better and more liberal treatment of the infirm,'incarable, and imbecile. These classes occupy a very Large portion of our workhouses, and the stringent rules made to discourage able bodied pauperism press heavily upon them. In many instances, the guardians, masters, and matrons are kind and considerate, but in cases where ,hey are otherwise too much is in their power. A very interesting paper in the present number of the journal narrates the efforts being made in the Home at Birming ham to reclaim and train young girls, who from perverse dispositions, bad parents, orphanage, or other circumstances, labour under serious drawbacks in the battle of life. The success of many of the most hopeless cases shows what marvels may be wrought by faith, patience, and kindness. Many other subjects of deep interest are treated of, and we heartily commend this journal to the attention of all who concern themselves with the welfare of their friendless fellow-creatures. SAUNDERS, OTLEY, AND MORGAN'S BRITISH ARMY REVIEW—the compactest and completest military organ yot published—has just now made its fourth monthly appearance. The issue of it as a sixpenny periodical began in November. It may be regarded, therefore, as having by this time steadily settled down to its place among professional publications. It is capitally well arrangel throughout. It is thoroughly readable, and it gives a large amount of timely information within a very brief space—its information, moreover, so far as we have yet been enabled to test it, being most satisfac torily well authenticated. MISCELLANEOUS MAGAZINES.—The new series of the Family Friend shows no diminution of its merits as a domestic referee and entertainer,— Events of the Month is a new claimant for public favour, having begun with the new year. It has made a fair commencement, and fully carries oat. its programme of supply of " News, literature, science, and general information," the comments on the news of the month being a somewhat novel and attractive feature.— The Monthly Packet, under the editorship of the gifted authoress of " The Heir of Redclyffe," has the attraction of a tale from her pen, besides papers on English history, "The Englishman in India," "Life in Holland," and other topics of varied interest.—Newton's London Journal has an article on the Patent Law and its opponents, besides the usual in formation on the subject.—le Pellet, whose report on the fashions we have already quoted, is as charming as ever, and the gay evening toilettes betoken the coming season. The Reformatory and _Refuge Journal col lects all information with regard to the houseless poor, discharged prisoners, and similar topics. It is a favourable symptom of our age that such a journal should exist, and the good works which it chronicles deserves every encou ragement. A contrast to the serious subjects thus earnestly thought of is found in the pleasant pages of Every Boy's Magazine, where smugglers' adventures and marvels of land and sea are grouped together in amusing conjunction. Mr. Cassell's services to the poorer portion of the reading public have secured a wide spread recognition of their merits, and his reputation will certainly be enhanced by his Illustrated Bunyan, now publishing; while his _lllustrated Robinson Crusoc will delight hundreds of readers. the _History of _England and Popular Education, also issued by the same enterprising publisher, exhibit their usual merits. The Chessplayer's Magazine is adorned with a portrait of Mr. Buckle, who was, it seems, a noted player. This is by no means singulor, as that grand old game is well known to have been a favourite of many 'eminent men, demanding, as it does, those high intellectual qualities which lent Mr Buckle his power as a writer and a thinker. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, accompanied by the Princess Mgry, honoured the Lyceum Theatre with their presence last evening. MR. CHARLES DICKENS.—We deeply regret to hear of the sudden death, on the last day of 18G3, in the officers' hospital at Calcutta, of Lieutenant Walter Landor Dickens, of the 2Gth Native Infantry Regiment, and doing duty with the 42d Highlanders, second son of Charles Dickens, ADELAIDE RIsToRI, we learn from Italian papers, has engaged an Italian poet, Paolo Franchi, to write for her a drama, to be entitled Henri co VIII., in which she intends to play all the king's (five) wives, one after the other. Perhaps, says the reviewer in mentioning the rumour, this is a joke. AN INTERESTING RELlC.—There is now in Dept ford Dockyard a model, constructed in the year 1558, of the yacht built for Queen Elizabeth. The model is in excellent preservation, and recently came into the possession of Mr. Brown, of the dockyard, at the sale of the effects of a de ceased naval officer. , ----, w „ 4:7\t „ , ,, ,, , ifffilli 'iv . , ....- ortvb 14 . - ct • ...------•.‘ HER MAJESTY.
