The extraordinary Trial which was brought a Paris on Saturday to so extraordinary a conclusion may at length be very reasonably commented upon, even here in England, now that it has been brought, as a trial, to any conclusion at all. Different, often diametrically opposite, though the institutions of the two countries unquestionably are, it becomes a matter of duty among the publicists of each, respec tively, to comment upon the bearing of those insti tutions, upon their bearing not only directly on the social condition of things in the land to which they (the institutions referred to) belong, but indi rectly also upon, if not the social condition, at any rate the guidance or development of public opinion among the neighbouring population. Any disquisition upon the YELVERTON case, for example, would be perfectly en regle, if indulged in by anyone among our Parisian contemporaries. Comment upon that extraordinary trial might, not only very allowably but very judiciously, be penned to almost any extent by any individual, among the band of French journalists. Any• thing that seriously affects the social or political order of things in France, in the same way, upon the same principle identically, comes legitimately within reach, not only of the scrutiny, but of the searching criticism as well, of the journalism of England. Of the working of the institutions of France, we may be permitted to take our view, here in England, quite as reasonably as Frenchmen themselves. And vice verse might be said of the latter in regard to their capacity and right to judge of the working of ours —that is, of the working of our institutions. Having premised:all which, let us say at once, in re ference to this remarkable trial which has but just now come to so very remarkable a conclu sion among our Parisian neighbours, that it strikes us, in itself and in its result, as at once painful and ludicrous. The charge directed against the accused in this trial is, we would maintain, little less than ludicrous in itself, amounting as it does to something nearly equivalent to a formal declaration in a court of law, that t wo•and-two make not four as people have hitherto supposed, but sense half-a-dozen or thereabouts. Thirteen persons, in point of fact, have been for mally, deliberately, and authoritatively charged with the high crime and misdemeanour of forming an illegal association of Twenty. It seems ridiculous, on cur part, seriously to assert as much—yet such, to all intents and purposes, was absolutely the bearing of the accusations brought against MM. GARNIER PAGES, CARNOT, and DREO, with their ten associates. For, seriously to put the matter at issue in the plainest possible terms, such was literally, such was no more and no less than the drift of the whole charge directed against them. Thirteen were no thirteen, but a score. Two and two, in others, as before intimated, were pronounced to be no longer four, but some elastic half-dozen or thereabouts. Not only has this, and this precisely, been the accusation directed against M. GARNIER PAGES and his dozen colleagues or associates, but thie, and precisely thie, was the decision eventually arrived at, as the result of this astounding trial at Paris on Ssturlay. The astonishing consequences being that the accused have been sentenced to be mulcted in 5,000 francs each, together with costa, for h av ing constituted th emse l ves, to the number of thirteen, an electoral m ee ti ng o f twenty—this prepesterons sentence having been pronounced in de fiance of a ll the rules of arithmetic, to say nothing of the le ws and eq uit y in any country upon the surface of the globe—and Pronounced, 1 , 4 it be borne in mind, not philosophers by the one-eyed of the Flying Island, but by the sixth Chamber of the Correctional Tribunal of the Seine! The Duke of BEAUFORT has not minced matters in his remarks about the position of affairs and the state of parties. It is really a relief occasionally to meet with an address of this sort, for it seems to vindicate the public men of cur day from the charge of always allowing judgment to go by default, and not troubling themselves to care if the existing state of things is disturbed or not. So many aspen' sions are cast on the Conservative party that it is incumbent upon some of its members to come for ward now and then to disprove them, and to show the animus that calls them forth and suggests their malicious insinuations. It is the sure sign of the waning strength of a party when it can stoop to make use of slander as a weapon against its adver saries, and it must be confessed that the Liberal get and Ministerial clique are over apt to detract from the fair fame and honest intentions of their opponents, without paying much regard to truth, or being overs-cruputous as to justice. Besides these more particular matters, it is a great mistake for any party to allow one set of politicians to usurp all the privileges to themselves. It must be some cheek on existing po eaers, and some benefit in the way of enlightening the minds of their hearers, when decided and determined speeches are uttered, such as those of the Duke of BEAUFORT and Mr. ROLT, and, therefore, they will be perused with satisfaction by all those who do not wish the affairs of last session to be passed over in silence. The Duke very properly explained the state of the case as regarded the position of the Conservative party during the trying period of the last session. Many persons have exclaimed against their proceedings, and stated that they held back too long, and did not make any attempt to check Ministers until too late in the year; but there are two sides to this, as every other question. As the Duke of BEAUFORT said, they were prevented from doing anything by the information that negotiations were going for ward, and that they would disturb them by any premature act on their part. This plea was urged again and again, and it seethed to be the only con stitutional course to acquiesce in the arrangement. It must now be considered, however, that this notion of negotiations, and this plea of a Conference, were nothing but subterfuges, and an adroit ma nccavre designed for the purpose of putting people off their guard, and giving a better colour to the affair in the eyes of those who looked on with dis trust and misgivings, In a Parliamentary view of the matter, the leaders of the Conservatives were, doubtless, right in abstaining from pressing for• ward their inquiries ; but, as things have turned out, it is almost to be regretted that they treated their opponents with a considera tion they did not deserve, and to which they were not entitled on public or private grounds. As the Duke observed, it is very much to be doubted if, under the same circumstances, they would have met with similar reticence at the hands of those who demanded their forbearance. "If they had been in office the hands of the Whigs would not have been tied but for the sake of up setting their party, they would, without hesitation, have put embarrassing questions, and made motions in both Houses of Parliament." It is not easy to predicate what course will be pursued by such and such a person or party under the pressure of events, neither is it less difficult to take a retrospective glance, and declare what would have been done under the same circumstances by different persons ; but, it may be mentioned, that the present Liberal party have not shared any consideration or courtesy in their conduct when in Opposition. It would seem as if they cast all the claims of such influences to the winds in their eager endeavours to regain their lost Eden of office, and deferred the practice of honest and honourable principles until a more convenient opportunity. Their most zealous parti sans cannot say that they share in adversity, for a more ignoble opposition has not been witnessed in the annals of our history than that which contracted the DEBBY Government on its last accession to power. It is certain that the bias of political predilections) and the exaggeration of style often witnessed at local meetings can not be exercised in too strong terms, when the conduct of the would-be Reformers who took office with Earl RUSSELL is criticised. Unworthily es the noble lord acted on that occa sion, however, it has since been proved that ho is more inimical to the interests of his country as a Foreign Minister than he was in the domestic de partment, and it was indeed an evil day for England when he accepted the office of Foreign Secretary. The Duke of BEAUFORT, in his off-hand way, de scribed the course of his proceedings as "checking both parties," and the result inseparable from such a line of action, of course,has been that they treated him with contempt. His grace truly observed that the question vies virtual:y settled before the matter was discussed in Parliament, and by the time the Conservatives came into power, it would have been useless to go t) war. It is all very fine for the partisans of Lord PALMERSTON to declare that the Opposition never put forth a policy ; that is an idle subterfuge which cannot de ceive many, and most be exposed in time. Mr. ROLT, in his few remarks, ably summed up the whole state of the case as regarded the Dana-Ger man question. Many will agree with the hon. member when he said that, having looked through the papers, he could not imagine anything more humiliating than the disclosures made in them. " Our boasting braggadocio, leaving Denmark at the last alone, was one of the mast humiliating things this country had suffered." Well might the Ministers have withheld the production of the papers till the last moment possible, for they thus exposed their own truckling conduct, and published to the world their incompetency to fill their high position, The interest which has been excited by Colonel GORDON'S career in China has been so great, his ability and success as a military commander have been so conspicuous, and the results of his services have been so important to the cause of the Imperi. alists, that the abrupt termination of that career is in some sense a matter of regret. Nevertheless the reversal of the order in council, which permitted a British officer to take part in the Chinese war, is wise and right in every sense. It is unquestion. ably no more than the Chineee have merited by the treachery of the Futai of Soochow and by the subsequent encouragement bestowed upon him by his rulers. If it were once to be imagined that Englishmen would tolerate perfidy and breach of faith half our hopes of civilising China would be gone. It is above all things important in our dealings with those Eastern nations with whom falsehood and treachery are mere venial offences or no offences at all, to preserve intact that code of national honour which we follow in our dealings w ith Europeans. If they find that we rigidly insist upon the maintenance of an oath or a pledge, and resent as an injury any deviation from it, they may learn in time to remod e l th e i r own conduct in public transactions at all events. There was another reason, too, which might well have exercised considerable influence on the decision of the Home Government, and that was the desire to avoid being entangled in the wars of the Chinese. The fact of an officer in the British service taking so active a part in the prosecution of the war, natu rally implicated his Government in some degree as countenancing the proceedings oF the Chinese autho rities. This was especially the case with Colonel, then Major GORDON, since he was in direct corn munication with the Commander.in-Chief, and with tne British Envoy, Sir F. BACCE, The House of Commons has shown a strong disinclination to suffer this country to become involved in any more East ern wars, and although they carried their censure of the proceedings of the Government to an unwar rantable length, the open expression of their opi nions on the matter would doubtless have weight. The policy of non-intervention, which is bringing upon us so much disgrace and discredit by the manner in which it is being applied to European affairs, is certainly more applicable in China. In Europe it is undoubtedly sowing a plentiful crop of future wars, while in China we may reasonably hope that it will keep us out of them altogether. The conduct of the Impe rialists, too, was not such as to warrant any further extension of our favours to them. The affair of Captain OSBORN and Mr. LEY with the steam flotilla proved that they did not properly recognise the obligations which they were under to this count try for even partial assistance. There is no doubt that had they consented to accept the aid of Captain OSBORN'S vessels on his own terms, they would have been largely the gainers, while the great ad vantages which the Imperialists have now gained over their antagonists are mainly due to the services of Colonel GORDON. It cannot, indeed, be said that the Chinese are insensible to the value of that officer's assistance—since they have bestowed upon him many marks of honour and tokens of their high appreciation of his skill and courage. Indeed it is their own fault that Colonel GORDON did not carry his triumphs still further, and that Nankin is not now in possession of the Imperial forces. The delay caused by the Futai's treachery at Soochow, upon the surrender of that city, caused the loss of much valuable time, and stopped the English leader midway in his career. At the time the news reached this country, we expressed our conviction that it was due to Col. GORDON'S own reputation, no less than to the honour of his country, that he should lay down his arms, and decline any further to serve a leader who had so greatly insulted him. Such, it appears, was his own wish and intention, and it was only at the desire of Sir F. BRUCE that he retained his com mission. The Envoy feared that GORDON'S band would go over to the Taepings and increase the confusion. Sir F. BRUCE says in his despatch, "it is indispensable that officers of character should remain at the head of these semi-disciplined Chinese corps until tranquillity is sufficiently restored, so sus to allow of their being dissolved without danger. Otherwise, not only would; the results already achieved be sacrificed, but the prospect of the netoration of tranquillity would be indefinitely postponed. The " magistrates, elders, and popula tion" of the pacified districts also joined in en-. treating Colonel GORDON to retain his command, so as to protect them from a repetition of the hor rors inflicted by the Taepings upon their victims. No blame can, therefore, be attached to that officer for continuing in his position under these circum stances, and it is well that direct instructions from the Home Government should have solved the diffie (laity for him, and taught the Chinese authorities that Englishmen cannot overlook a deliberate act of treachery and breach of faith. Colonel GORDON, however, has done his work. When he entered the Chinese service the great cities of Hongchow and Soochow were in the hands of the Taepings, and were fast falling into ruin ; the silk districts were desolated by them, and one important branch of trade was thus paralysed. The cruelty of the rebels knew no distinction of age or sex, of resist ance or helplessness. Little children with their throats cut lay in the path of the advancing corps. Some may question the wisdom or justice of the Imperial cause, but it is quite plain that unless some check were put on atrocities like these the material wealth of China would be eer:ously impaired, while its population—vast as it is—would be decimated by the wholesale slaughter. Colonel GORDON leaves the great cities in the hands of the Impe rialists; he has left the rebels no possession of im portance save the city of Nankin. The terror of his name has effected what his arms left undone. Often it was enough for the Taepings to hear that GORDON was advancing to lay down their arms at once, and his personal courage has been no less con spicuous than his military skill. Ho has availed himself of none of the opportunities of personal advantage which the chances of war threw in his way, but in the fulfilment of a difficult, arduous, aed dangerous duty he has shown himself to be possessed of those qualities which Englishmen value even above military talents. Colonel GORDON has already achieved distinction in his Chinese campaign, but we oannot question that, should the opportunity be granted him in the service of his own country, he will add another name to lite list of those officers of whom England is jue s 4 proud. BRITISH ARCH NOLOGICAL AASOCIATION.—The 21st annual meeting of this resociation will com mence at Ipswich to-day (Nl onc , , ay), under the presidency of Mr G. Tomline, M.P.

TIIE ALLEGED DESTRUCTION OF THE GREAT MONTGOLFIEIt BALLOON. Exaggerated reports having appeared of the damage suffered by M. Godard's balloon, " The Eagle," pains have been taken to ascertain the facts, which are these :—M. Godard took up with him ' in his late ascent ono passenger besides his own three as sistants e.nd the interpreter. Ho has experienced some difficteity at other times as well as on this occasion in Revering the balloon, owing to the country people being a'Aarmed at its unusually large size, and therefore fearing to catch tho trailing ropes, as they willingly do with a bal loon of more moderate siz). On this occasion the eagle descended at first as favourably as could be desired near Walthamstow ; but just at the moment of its descent a ground breeze suddenly arose, and being coincident with the usual rebound of the balloon, carried it against the branch of a tree, which tore the cotton covering, though not very seriously. M. Godard, shortly afterwards, when trying to lift the car, was so unfortunate as to step on a stone which turned under his foot, and he has thus sprained his ankle, With this exception none of the party wet° hurt, all having alighted in perfect safety, and having succeeded in securing the balloon, which will be repaired in a day or two. , Tho accident to M. Godard is, however, unfortunate, as ho unable for a day or two to superintend matters personally, end being obliged to go to Paris at once, no further ascent of the Eagle can take place here till his return. Ho pure poses, however, being in England again by the latter end of the month, when he intends to make some ascents at Cremorne, and will also most probably visit the provinces for the same purpose. TIIE COURTESIES OF WAR.—Ia front of General Ilutler's lines I am told that only one shot has been fired doting three weeks. That came from a rebel soldier of mischievous proclivities, who was punished for violating the tacit truce. His commanding officer exposed him for three hours outside their breastworks, within 53 yards of our lines, compelling him to march to and fro all that time with a heavy stick of wood on h a shoulder as a penance for his indiscretion. Our men magnanimously spared the poor wretch's life,--Lotter from Petersburg, in the New fork Times. AMERICAN BLOCKADE.—NEW YORK, July 24.

It appears probable that the pres e nt P ar li ame nt will meet once more for a few weeks, for the purpose of voting r.rgent laws and Effacing, if possible, the impression produced by the closing sittings of the late session. Should the Ministry again obtain the support of the Chambers, it could appeal to the country with more authority. The alliance, or understanding, of the Northern Powers has not yet manifested itself in a manner directly hostile to Italy; the attitude of the Powers, so far as regards this country, being strictly defensive, it wou ld appear that the new kingdom is not ttie immediate object of the league, the existence which is universally believed t here, though n '','oody seems to be at all alarmed. Mean while, 'she clerical party make a great noise about it, 'a n d express their joy and hones without the least reserve. Their principal organ, the " Unita Cattolica" makes the league the constant theme of its articles, which, as usual, are written with great talent. But all the talent in the world could never counterba lance the anti-national character of those hopes whose roots are beyond the Mincio, nor the anti patriotic feeling displayed in the scarcely indirect appeal to bayonets, which certainly are not those of Italy.

The simultaneous presence at Turin of these two generals, and their participa tion in a Council of Ministers, are circumstances which have excited public curiosity, and given rise to various surmises. I will merely remind your readers that Generals Lamarmora and Cialdini are those whose military commands skirt the Pontifical frontier. Gen. Cialdini's division lies north of Rome, and Lamarmora's south of the Eternal oity• The ter ritory still under the sway of the Pontifical Governs ment is enclosed between those two divisions, and perhaps the simultaneous arrival of those generals at Turin is connected with the respective positions of their corps." The Cologne Gazette confirms the intelligence that the ex. King o f Naples is about to leave Rome. He hesitates, that journal asserts, between Venice or Salsburg as his future residence. The continued indisposition of the ox . Queen is one of the principal causes of the determination taken by Francis IL to remove from Rome. PRINCE ALF ItED.—The 20th birthday of his Royal Highness Prince Alfred Ernest Albert was celebrated at Windsor on Saturday last with the custoralry honours paid to members of the Royal family. From an early hour in the morning, and at intervals throughout the day, joyous peals were sent forth from the towers of the Chapel Royal of St, George and St. John's Church, At 1 o'clock a Royal salute of 21 guns was fired in the Long Walk from the Corporation Ordnann by the town bombardier, and a Royal salute was also fired from the Adelaide frigate on Virginia Water, which was answered at Fort Belvedere. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales are expected to arrive at Marlborough-house this (Monday) afternoon, and on Tuesday their royal highnesses leave for Scotland, where it is expected they will reside for about six weeks. PRINCE XEROME NAPOLEON AT GREENOCK,— Early on Friday morning the French screw steam corvette Jerome Napoleon, of 900 tons, arrived at the tail of the Bank, from Havre, having Prince Jerome Napoleon on board. Prince Jerome and a party of gentlemen came ashore during the day, and put up at the Tontine Hotel, but re turned to the ship in the evening. It is expected they will take their departure twill the Clyde immediately. LITERATURE. RECENT NOVELS. Denis Donne. By the author of " Sir Victor's Choice." 3 vols. Tinsley Brothers. Lady Audley has much to answer for. Not only did her ill.omened secret occasion the death of an inconvenient husband, bat, more lamentable still, it has deteriorated the beau-ideal of female per fection in the nineteenth century ! Once upon a time, it is true, a Marchioness of Brinvilliers actually existed; but such an enchantress, with locks of gold and lips of guile, has only appeared once or twice in the records of history. With our fiction writers, nowadays, such a character is the paragon end favourite. The industrious authoress of " Sir Victor's Choice," whose skilful penmanship we not lung ago commented on, has now, in the fascinating Fanny Conway, presented us with another claimant for the doubtful fame of Circe. Fanny Conway is beautiful, of course, and more than that she is irresistible. Her toilet, according to Napoleon's soldier-like comment upon that of Josephine, is "a perfect arsenal," and her tri umphant career appears assured. When we first meet Fanny, however, her finances are at a low ebb, and she has not yet secured the obj:!ct of her ambition, a brilliant marriage. She consents to accept the situation of governess to the young slaughter of a country gentleman, one Lyster Donne. This gentleman has just married a second wife, a beautiful and treacherous woman, the equal of Fanny in flirtation and duplicity, but greatly her inferior in strategic resource. Here are twQ charming heroines for a domestic novel ! Two delightful specimens of the English maids and matrons of nowadays. Poor Mrs. Ellis ! was it for this you bestowed elaborate volumes of valuable advice upo” t h e rising generation of your country won' do Pto see the " Wi res" and the " Daughter: 4 7, of "England" devote their leisure hours to the elaborate studies of character, in ' a shine conspicuous the Assassin, the A? .aalteress, and the Anonyms. Those who 'cake delight in the contempla tion of such characters with whom "success is v'atue," will find ample amusement in the sprightly doings and misdoings of Fanny Conway and Dora Donne. One incident we must particu 'arise, not only because it is the turning-point of the story ; but also because it affords a happy specimen of the characters of the heroines and the skill of the authoress. Dora Donne, the gay young wife of a middle-aged and most devoted husband, tolerates the attenti[ons of a former admirer, Lord Allondale. Some letters from this nobleman having excited the 4 i'arprise of the very unsuspicious husband, the ready.witted Dora suggests that they are intended for the governess, and all goes on smoothly till one unlucky day, when the major-domo returns home I.;nexpectedly to find an unwelcome guest, Lord Allendale, on his knees, kissing, the hand of the fair and false lady. After a moment of terrible conster nation, the treacherous Dora declares that Lord Allendale is interceding with her for the hand of the fair Fanny Conway, and she goes in quest of the governess. When the ambitions Fanny hears of the dilemma and the excuse, and is asked to eend " a refusal" to Lord Allendale, she flatly declines to refuse, and declares that she will accept the very acceptable offer of a coronet and a fortune ! It is diamond cut diamond. Dora is dismayed, Lord Allondale is discomfited, Mr. Donne is, of course, highly satisfied, and the fair Fanny is triumphant. We will reveal no more. This glimpse is amply sufficient to exhibit the domestic power of the authoress in depicting a " situation," and it affords also a specimen of her very peculier idea of domestic life in the nineteenth century. Black, Moss. A Tale by a Tarn. By the author of "Miriam May." 2 vols. Richard Bentley. A very dismal character plays the principal part in this story, one Gideon Cnyp, the undertaker, of Black Moss Valley, in Camberland. When the first volume opens a deadly fever is devastating the neighbourhood. Old and young, rich and poor, become the prey of the deidly pestilence and the direful undertaker, and help to fill the rotten elm an greenoak coffins, which Gideon Cup supplies at the lowest price. Like an ogre or a ghoul Gideon exults in the spread of the deadly disease, and he does more than exult, he does his best to facilitate its progres9, With his own hand he diverts the churchyard drain into the stream of water, which is the village drink. He gets posses sion of clothes worn by the victims of the fever and gives them to the healthful, to bring disease to their doors. So wholesale is the work of de struction, that the village is depopulated, and Gideon begins to fear that ho has somewhat "over done" his task. It is difficult to imagine what pleasure the author of this work could have dis covered in designing and describing a character so despicable and revolting. Assuredly, the reader finds little pleasure in the study. The only pleasure associated with the contemplation of Gideon Cnyp is that with which we cannot but regard his well-merited end when he falls a victim to a fate he had been preparing for another. Con spicuous among the remaining dramatis personx of this novel is Fabian Massareene, a member of the Cabinet at the date of the Cory; and not only a member, but the most popular member—" Eng land's favourite minister," The Government occa sionally gets into an equivocal position it is true, but it is downright libellous (on the country at all events) to describe a character like Fabian as the "favourite" minister of England. The same terrible mistake, of a nature so revolting that even the genius of " Ernest Maltravers" could not render its introduction justifiable, befalls this Fabian Massareene, he ignorantly makes love to his own daughter, and then when the truth is revealed to him confesses the shortcomings of his life, and dies; and we are glad to take leave of him ! What with the deadly undertaker and the deluding minis• ter, "Black Moss" is anything but a pleasant place, and it■ history constitutes anything but an attrac tive record. Clara Vaughan. A Novel. Three volume'. Mac man and Co. With the lovers of the mysterious, the terrible, or the thrilling, Clara Vaughan will readily find favour. The beginning is very skilfully arranged. Almost with the first chapter we are plunged in mediae res —we have, to begin with, the pleasant excitement of a murder and a mystery. Clara Vaughan tells her own story. The great event of her life occurred when she was ten years old. Up to that time, a nervous, delicate child, her educa tion had been purposely neglected, a wise physician having prescribed for her that she must never be forced to learn. " She must only learn when it comes as it were with the wind." " Henceforth" she says ' I learned very little, the wind perhaps being unfavourable, and all the little 1 did learn came from my father's lips," This father is the object of her childish adoration, and his untimely fate casts a shadow over her life, Clara's tenth birthday is a bright and happy day, the last sun gleam before years of sorrow. 70Y AND GRIEF. Now, the 30th of December was my parents' wedding day, for I had born born six years enact after their affec tionate union. And now that I was ten years old—a notable hinge on the door of life—how much they made, to be sure, of each other and of me I At dinner I sat in glory between them, upsetting all ceremony, pleasing my father and teas ing my mother, by many a childish sally. So genial a man my father was that he would talk to the servants, even on state occasions, quite as if they were human beings. Yet none of them ever took the smallest liberty with him, un less it were one to love him. Before dessert, I interred my queen doll, with much respect and some heartache, under a marble flag by the door, which had been prepared for the purpose. My father was chief-mourner, but did not cry to my liking, until I had pinched him well. After this typical goodbye to childhood, I rode him back to the dining table, and helped him and my mother to the last of the \Vest's Peter grapes, giving him all the fattest ones. Then we all drank health and love to one another, and I fell to in earnest at a child's delight. Dearest father kept sup plying me with things much nicer than are now to be got, while my mother in vain pretended to guard the frontier. It was the first time I tasted Guava jelly ; and now, even at the name, that scene is bright before me. The I:tng ' high room oak-panelled, the lights and shadows flickering as on a dark bay horse, the crimson velvet curtains where the windows were gone to bed, the great black chairs with damask cushions, but hard and sharp at the edge, the mantel-piece all carved in stone which I was forbidden to kick, the massive lamp that never would let me eat with out loose clouds of hair dancing all over my plate, and then the great fire, its rival, shuddering in blue flames at the thought of the frost outside ; all these things, and even the ticking of the timepiece, are more palpable to me now than the desk on which I write. My father sat in his easy chair, laughing and joking, full of life and comfort, with his glass of old port beside him, his wife in front, and me, his " Clari crops," M his knee. More happy than a hundred kings, he wished for nothing better, At one time, perhaps, he had longed for a son to keep the ancient name, but now he was quite ashamed of the wish, as mutiny against me. After many an interchange s a drink for father, a sip for Tooty, he began to tell wondrous stories of the shuts he had made that day ; especially how he had killed a woodcock through a magpie's nest. My mother listened with playful admira tion; I with breathless interest, and most profound belief. Then we played at draughts, and fox and goose, and pre tended even to play at chess, until it was nine o'clock, and my hour of grace expired. Three times Ann Maples came to fetch me, but I would not go. At last I went submis sively at one kind word from my father. My mother ob tained but a pouting kiss, for I wanted to s‘reak some ven geance ; but my father I never kissed with less than all my heart and soul, I flung both arms around his neck, laid my little cheek to his, and whispered in his ear that I loved him more than all the world. Tenderly he clasped and kissed me, and now I am sure that through his smile he looked at me with sadness. Turning round at the doorway I stretched my hands towards him, and met once more his loving, laughing eyes. Once more and only ones. Next I sa w him him in his calla, white and stark with death. How that deed was done, I learnt at once, and will tell By whom and why it was done, I have given my lite to learn, The evidence laid before the coroner was a cloud and fog of mystery. For days and days my mother lay in sensible. Then, for weeks and w ee k s , she would leap from herbed in fit 3 a terror,stare, and shriek and faint. As for the Z-ervants, they knew very little, but imagined a great deal, The only other witnesses were a medical man, a shoemaker, and two London policemen. The servants said that, between one and two in the morning, a clear, wild shriek rang through the house. Large as the building was, this shriek unrepeated awoke nearly all but me. Rushing anyhow forth, they hurried and huddled together at the head of the great staircase, doubting what to do. Some said the cry came one way, some another. Meanwhile Ann Maples, who slept with me in an inner room at the end of a little passage, in the courage of terror went straight to her master and mistress. There, by the light of a dim night-lamp, used to visit me, she saw my mother upright in the bed, and pointing towards my father's breast. My father lay quite still; the bed-clothes were smooth upon him. My mother did not speak. Ann Maples took the lamp, and looked in her master's face. His eyes were open, wide open as in amazement, but the surprise was death. One arm was stiff around his wife, the other lax upon the pillow. As she described it in West-country phrase, "he looked all frore." The woman rushed from the room, and screamed along the passage. The servants ran to her, flurried and haggard, each afraid to be left behind. None except the butler dared to enter. Whispering and trem bling they peered in after him, all ready to run away. Thomas Henwood loved his master dearly, being his foster-brother. He at once removed the bed-clothes. and found the fatal wound. So strongly and truly was it dealt that it pierced the centre of my dear father's heart, One spot of blood and a small three-cornered hole was all that could be seen. The surgeon, who came soon after, said that the weapon must have been a very keen and finely tempered dagger, probably of foreign make. The murderer mast have been quits cool, and well acquainted with the human frame. Death followed the blow on the instant, without a motion or a groan. In my mother's left hand strongly clutched was a lock of long, black, shining hair. A curl very like it, but rather finer, lay on my father's bosom. In the room were no signs of disorder, no marks of forcible entrance. Is not this enough and more than enough to justify our assertion respecting Clara Vaughan. The ter• rible event naturally makes a lasting impression upon the loving and sensitive child. Hence forth, she devotes herself to the dreadful task of discovering the murderer of her father. The later portions of the work are inferior to the commence ment. So high a pitch of interest could hardly be sustained, and a melodramatic narrative of the Corsican Vendetta is brought in as a supplementary matter of excitement. In relating some of her life's adventures, Clara forgets her moody vengeance and assumes a sprightly tone, more especially in regard to soma favourite newly-found friends, Conrad and Isola, and their dog Guidice, or Judy. In respect to this quadruped, indeed, she becomes quite ridiculous, and even disgusting ; for example, here is an incredible story. A LITTLE TOO MUCH. Though by no means a conceited dog, there was nothing he loved better than having his likeness taken ; and directly after breakfast he always assumed the most becoming atti tude, and watched intently for the appearance of the pencil. With his massive head a little on .one side, and his dark brown eyes full of dignified interest, and his great ears curv ing down through russet tufts, like tawny cascades in autumn, he seemed fit study for a real artist, who should quicken as well as copy him. However, he was too much of a gentleman to sneer at my weak efforts, for he saw that I did my best. Oftentimes he would gaze steadfastly at the portrait and then at me, and hobble up, and nudge me, and whine a little, and then sigh in self-abasement at his want of speech. Whenever he did this, I knew that he wished to have something altered; but it was long before I could discover what that something was. I tried every change of line or colour that I could think of—all to no purpose. At length it struck me that as he criticised more with nose than eyes, the defect must must be in the smell. Happy idea I I satisfied my Giudice at last, and did it thus. After shading around the nose and mouth, before laying on the colour, I took a clean dry brush, and passed it lightly round the hollows of his own sweet saltish nostrils, carefully avoid ing the cut; then one turn of the brush, not on the palette, but on a dry square of colour, and with that I expressed the dear dog's nose so well that he would have spoiled it in a sniffing ecstacy, if I had not pulled it away. His portrait now possessed the life which he required. Can anything be at the same time more iidiculons and revolting. With such blemishes and with many an extravagance the story of Clara Vaughan will continue, we doubt not, to interest and en thrall many readers not yet sated with the sensa tion banquets of the day. Mr Christopher Katydid (of Casconia). A Tale, Edited by Mark Heywood. Two vols. Saunders, Utley and Co. This story is introduced by a very elaborate and, what 18 more, a wholly inappropriate introduction. " I veritably believe," says the editor, " the following story was written by an English emigrant, who undoubtedly visited what is now called North America for the purpose of writing a book, but who became so pleased with the people and country that his satire softened into panegyric, and what was intended for traveller's diary grew into a romance. The tales related by Mr Christopher Katydid seem to have been made up of the odds and ends of observations copied from a journal, personal experiences in mar ried life, historical sketches of Casconia, and pic tures of its society. Like all historians of true genius and large views of men and things, his °ha ject appears to have been to give his friends in Europe a narrative of life in the Southern States, and a true and faithful account of the rise and pros gress of ancient Casconia, sprinkling his pages with anecdotes of his own invention, and the celebrated sayings of the worthies of that wonderful little re• public ; and weaving the whole in a series of grand philosophical stories, with facts and scenes sufficiently coloured not to fatigue the most experienced lovers of sensation." So much for the introduction, which, written in a lively vein, is intended, of course, to be received cum grano salis. The narrative consists of a series of acts of treachery and intrigue on the part of a certain Count Ballet and the loves and cross-purposes of Harry Harebrain and Jack Dashwood, with their fair cousins, Lily Dashwood and Nelly Katydid. The last scene, in which the denouement takes place, i s more theatrical and improbable than any upon w hi c h stage curtain ever fell. The intrigues of Count Ballot have succeeded, and ho is to be mar ried to the lady-love of Harry Harebrain, when, as the clergyman is about to begin the ceremony, enter Harry with the real wife of the Count. It is in vain for the bridegroom to deny the charge, seeing that the clergyman recog nises the lady—it is he who has united her to her husband. Another disturbance ensues, when the Count is arrested for conspiracy, but his part being played, he opportunely falls down dead. Notwithstanding this catastrophe, one or two matrimonial engagements are arranged, there and then, between the bystanders; and, as the crown ing' improbability of all, the clergyman who had just borne witness to the legal marriage of the Count and his deserted wife, now proposes to the Widow, himself ! She, " faintly smiling," tells him she can only give her hand, her heart " still dreams of a beautiful mirage ;" but—pointing to her hus band's body—she admits that she is indeed alone, and will try to be a dutiful wife, &e. An incident so wholly out of the range of probability assuredly requires no comment. •••• •••••1 Cardinal Pole ; or, the Days of Philip and Nary. An Historical Romance. By W. Harrison Ains worth.
