soundings off the island of Cronstadt, are stated to have discovered three infernal machines" moored under water. A Russian man-of-war steamer made an attempt to come outside Tolboukin Light house on the 27th inst., but perceiving that two of the English squadron at anchor in the vicinity were getting under weigh to intercept her, she put her helm up, and took shelter under the outermost battery. The various ships in the fleet made all possible sail on the 28th inst., for the purpose of exercising their respective crews. It being the anniversary of her Britannic Majesty's Coronation, the flags of England, France, and Turkey were hoisted—those of the two former nations flying conjointly at the mainmast heads of every ship. At noon, a Royal salute was fired—the bands playing the English National Anthem. An opinion being entertained that an attack on Cronstadt was practicable on the northern side of the island, Rear-Admiral Chads and Vice-Admiral Parse val-Deschenes, accompanied by Lord C. Paget, of the Princess Royal, the Hon. H. Keppel, of the St. Jean d'Acre, and others, embarked ou the 2th in the Driver, paddle-wheel steamer, and proceeded as far up the Channel as was ne cessary, in order to judge by personal observa tion the nearest distance off the town which could be approached with afety by any portion of the ships in the fleet. I believe lam not mistaken in informing you that the greater part of the ships in the fleet may, without difficulty steam up the channel on the northern side of the island, and to take up a position from which they might, at long range, throw their shell, &c., into the town, and destroy .it, without sustaining any serious injury themselves. The in-shore squadron of paddle and screw steamers have captured several fishing boats, with their crews. The enemy's coasting trade on both sides of the Gulph of Finland is completely stopped. _ A - . - sudden change in the temperature of the at mosphere, from cold to heat, has, during the last few days, caused much sickness in most of the ships, and several deaths have occurred. The progress of the disease, which was of a 'formidable character, Las fortunately been arrested by a favourable change in the weather, and most of the patients are rapidly approaching a state of convalescence. Rear-Admiral Corry's squadron left Baro Sound on the 25th inst., and are cruising balween Revel and Sweaborg. Rear-Admiral Plumridge, in the Leopard, with the Valorous and Odin, is in the Gulph of Bothnia. The Vulture, Captain Glasse, is to proceed to England. The Commander-in-Chief with upwards of 300 sail, 18 of which are line of battle ships, will remain off Cronstadt until further instructions from the English Government. The yachts Esmeralda and Gondola have been in company with the fleet for several weeks past. THE MILITARY EXPEDITION TO THE BALTIC.-OBJECT OF ENGLAND AND 'FRANCE. The object of the French and English Govern ments in sending out reinforcements of land troops to the Baltic, says a letter from Paris, is now be ginning to be known.- It appears that a third attack is to be made on the fortresses in the island of Aland, and that the island itself is to be taken military possession of as a point d'appui fortifie at the entrance of the Gulf of Finland. General Baraguay d'Hilliers, who is to command the French division, is now at Boulogne inspecting the troops. General Renault is to be the second in command. General Niel, is a distinguished general of engi neers, who was chosen by Marshal Vaillant to ac company him to Rome at the period of the siege of that city in 1849, accompanies General Bara guay d'Hilliers. At the period of the siege of Rome, General Niel was only a colonel ; he is now a general of division. The selection of an officer of such high rank to command the engineers is con sidered as a sufficient proof of the great importance attached to the expedition to Finland by the Go vernment. It is intended that the operations to be undertaken shall be of such a character that the allies will be enabled to establish themselves firmly in the island of Aland. MALTA. NOVEL FETE.--MALTA, July 2.—His Excel lency Sir W. Reid endeavoured to turn the festival of St. Peter and. St. Paul to a practical use. It is the custom on this festival for all classes of people to make picnics to the country, about Boschetto and Civita Vecchia, where they have no object beyond eating and drinking, and some very poor races in the evening—in fact, it is too hot to make any exertion. However, Sir W. Reid got up a committee, and offered prizes for the best samples of cattle . , corn, vegetables, machinery, silkworms, &c. ; the prizes for Malta on a liberal scale, from 3/. down to 3s. There were some very fine mules, poultry, corn, potatoes, and silkworms exhibited—also some great improve ments in machinery; but the plersantest sight of alt was the happy-looking people, picnicking under the trees. All appeared thoroughly happy and contented. Here was every class, from the com manders-in-chief, judges, senators, (5.7 c., down to the poorest peasant, and all appeared to be tho roughly enjoying themselves. It must have been a proud day for Sir William ; and all classes felt grateful to him for his endeavours to turn this f(s'ival into so useful an exhibition. Doubtless, from the many prizes given, next year's exhibition will bring forth more competitors. The Victoria, screw steamer, having repaired her damage, left on the 30th of June, with the horses she brought from Tunis for the Black Sea. She conveyed on the mails of the 20th and 24th from England, brought by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamers. We continue to have daily arrivals of French steamers with French troops, and the usual amount of cheering on their entering and leaving the harbour. In consequence of the English fleet having been enabled to supply themselves with coals in the Black Sea, Cardiff coals are selling at 40s. per ton less than their freight out. GREECE. A. letter from Athens says :—Hadji Petros, lately heading the insurrection in Thessaly, has returned to Greece, and applied for permission to go to the baths of Hypates. Only the insurgent rayas still keep the_ field in Thessaly, and they are ready to treat with Fuad Effendi. The war steamer Infernal has captured a Greek ship, bound for Thessaly, with arms, money, am munition, and likewise one of the warmest parti sans of Russia on board. The Greek Minister has taken the matter in hand, and from the depositions already received, it results that M. Metaxa and some other personages will probably find themselves seriously compromised. M. Wendland has left Athens. The quarantine laid on all arrivals from the Le vant has been taken off. SPAIN. A despatch from Madrid, of July 7, says :—The rebels have evacuated Aranjuez, directing their march, it is said, towards Estremadura. The outposts of the Royal troops are at Villa Seguel. The column sent in pursuit of the rebels is com manded by the Minister of War. One hundred 'men Ind six officers of the Regiment of the Prin nosh' have left the ranks and laid down their arms at Toledo. Madrid and the provinces aro tranquil. Another despatch of the same date announces the entry of the Royal troops into Aranjuez. The following telegraphic despatches are pub lished by the Aloniteur : " MADRID, July 6.—A body of troops was yes terday sent in pursuit of the rebels, who are at Madridojos and Mora. The capital and the pro vinces continue in the same state of tranquillity." " BAYONNE, July 7.—The cause of the insur gents is considered as lost. Desertion continues to make great progress in their ranks. One of their chiefs, General Massina, has just left them. The troops remain faithful to the Queen, notwithstand ing the proclamations which have been addressed to them announcing the fall of the Government. The Government is showing the greatest modera tion towards those who are taken." FRANCE. The Emperor will visit Boulogne during the present week, where he will review the troops whd are about to embark for the Baltic. . It is announced that the Empress is to leave St. Cloud on the 21st July for Biaritz. _ It appears that although the division of French troops which is about to proceed to the Baltic is to be sent out in English ships, General Baraguay d'Hilliers, the commander-in-chief, with his :tall; is to take his passage in a French frigate, which has b een p l ace d a t hi s di sposa l b y th e 'French Go vernment. M. Emanuel Las Cazes, the son of the celebrated companion of Napoleon durin g his captivity at St. Relena, died in Paris on Saturday, of cholera. The porter of his house died the same day also of that complaint. M. Las Cazes was a member of the Senate. We read in the Moniteur : "Some foreign journals have stated that the Russian loan has found subscribers'in France and England. We • are fully convinced that this assertion is unfounded, and that the duties of good citizens are better practised in both countries. It is, therefore, only by way of simple information that we mention that the French laws arm the Goverment with the most extensive and the most severe means of repression in such cases. The Govern ment of her Britannic Majesty has on its side published a notice, which was communicated to the Brussels papers by the English Legation in Belgium, to tl:e effect that any British subject who shall subscribe to a loan destined for a power at war vith Great Britain, will be guilty of high treason, as lending assistance to the Queen's enemies." Raoul Rochette, Perpetual Secretary of the Academy of the Beaux Arts, died in Paris on Wednesday. The funeral which took place on Friday was attended by a great number of friends of the deceased and of learned and scientific per sons. Among the personal friends wlio were pre sent were M. Guizot, Count Mold, and the Duke de Noailles, as members of the Institute. AME RI CA. LIVERPOOL, July 9.—By the Royal mail steam ship Arabia, Captain Judkins, we have advices from New York to the 28th ult. She has brought $283,847 on freight. The Europa was spoken by the Arabia on ; the 29th, the day after she left New York. The Atlantic arrived out on the 25th ult. By telegraph from New Orleans we have advises from Vera Cruz to the 28th ult. Santa Anna had issued a decree, declaring all departments, districts, and towns refusing obedience to the Government in a state of siege. The cholera was raging with great virulence throughout Mexico. Among its victims were Madame Sontag, Mr. Barkeley, the Secretary of the British Legation, Senor Busta mente, of the Spanish Legation, and many other distinguished persons. In one day the mortality reached 200. The death of Madame Sontag oc curred on the 17th. She was announced to appear in the opera of Lucrezia Borgia on the 11th, but -the performance was postponed in consequence of a sudden attack of cholera. The event caused a pro found sensation. She was buried at the church of San Fernandez on the 19th. An immense con cchirso was present, including the• members of the Philharmonic Society, most of the artists who were present in the city, and a number of foreign Mi nisters. In the city of Mexico the epidemic had begun .to abate. The weather throughout the country was, very dry, and the crops were suffering considerably in consequence. From the southern portion of Mexico we have no news of an important or reliable character. Nothing further had trans pired respecting the Gadsden Treaty. From Savannah we have advice,s to the 17th ult., at which date the market for sugars had re vived, in consequence of more willingness shown by the planters to realise. A market report gives the following quotations : " Whites, inferior to florete, qrs. to 81rs. = 21s. sd. to 255. Bd. ; yellows, inferior to florete ' 51rs. to 61rs. = 17s. hi. to 20s. 10d ; browns, Nos. 11 and 12, -firs. to srs. =l6s. 7d. to 17s. 3d. ; Cucurachos, Nos. 8 and 10, 4rs. to 41-rs, =l4s. 10d. to 16s. sterling per cwt. free on board, at 9 per cent. prem. of exchange. For perfectly dry and strong qualities of low numers some parties are making offers which are from to a rial per arrobe beyond these prices, but owners of such kinds held on to even higher rates. In muscovadoes there is very little doing, and rather flat. Quotations at near outports to 44 rials per arrobe. The stock of sugar on hand is to-day estimated at about 170,000 boxes in this city, and the Regla warehouses included. Molasses.—A cargo of clayed has been purchased at a near outport at 2 rials per keg of 51 gallons, and a small lot in this port at 21 rials. The stock is scanty. Rum is in good demand, at 291 dols. to 31 dols. the pipe for coloured, and 331 dols. for white. As empty pipes continue very scarce and dear, the price of the article remains high. A Spanish brig cleared on the 14th for Cowes and a market, with 500 pipes. Freight.—A large number of American sugar ships having come into port, frei g hts experienced a decline of from ss. to 10s., at which some eight or ten ships were taken up. The market has since relapsed into its former inactivity, the demand being apparently satisfied. Exchanges.--During the present week very little has been done, and we quote London 9 to 10 per cent. premium." At New York trade continued flat, and, with an uncommonly tight money-market, there appeared to be more than the usual apathy among all classes of the mercantile community. The exhibit of the banks showed a falling off on all the leading items. This had the effect of increasing the supply of paper offered at the discount houses, and very full rates had been obtained—viz., 12 per cent. on prime en dorsed notes, and 15 per cent. on fair names. There was an adequate supply of capital in the market, but capitalists exercised great caution. Sterling exchange -continued heavy, and the ex treme rates were obtained only on the best signa tures. The quotation on London was 9/ to 9a per cent. premium. The cotton market was dull and drooping under unfavourable news from Europe, but the depression seemed to be mainly on the low grades ; the quantity on sale was Moderate. Accounts from the growing crops were on the main satisfactory, though the plant was suffering some what from the effect of excessive rains at the south-west. Flour and grain had further declined. The harvest, it was generally believed, Would be later than usual ; but the yield,of wheat was ex pected to be larger than ever heforeTgathered. The redemption of the 'public clot for the week amounted to 253,892 d 015... 55; Loan of 1842, 21,292 doh.. 55 ; ditto Of 1846, 21,500 d 015.,; ditto. of 1847, 173,100 ; ditto of 184 S, 26,01:10frdols. ; Texas Indemnity, 12,000 dols. • . Scotch pig-iron was firm, but inactio:."'Freights to Great Britain were firmer with more offering ; but in other descriptions there was no change. The Illinois arrived at New York on the 24th ult., with $965,830 on freight. She brought dates from Kingston and Panama to the 12th and 14th ult. respectively. Nothing of interest had trans pired at Kingston. The cholera continued to pre vail at St. Ann. AccorclAk to a Jamaica paper, the disease raged withgreat virulence at Belmont, and there had been a great number of deaths. The John L. Stephens had left Panama with $1,082,274 on board, - FRIGHTFUL DEATH FROM A PARACHUTE. The parachute descent of M. le Tur, a French aero naut, which took plate from Cremorne Gardens on Tues day week, an account of which appeared in The Sun of the following day, has terminated, as we suspected it would, with fatal consequences to the rash man who ex posed himself to such gratuitous danger. The balloon, with the attached parachute, took, as then stated, a north-easterly direction, but as to the fate of the voyagers nothing has transpired until the present time, when it appears that our worst apprehensions have been realised. We now learn that on reaching Tottenham Mr. Adams, one of the occupants of the car, in consequence of the openness of the country, prepared for a descent, and with that view cut two of the ropes attaching the para chute to the balloon, and he was in the act of severing a third rope when he discovered that it had become entangled with one of the wings of the machinei. They had by this time arrived over a meadow adjoining the Tottenham sta tion, and two youths in the employ of the railway company were enabled to catch hold of the grapnel attached to the parachute, but they had quickly to let go their hold. The grapnel of the parachute, which was composed of two ropes and a cross piece of wood, was at this moment dragging along the ground, when, Mr. Adams, perceiv ing that they would quickly come in contact with some trees, thought of escaping the eminent peril by darting again into the air, and with that object discharged the ballast ; but before the balloon had risen a sufficient height, they crossed the trees, the parachute being drag ged with great violence through the branches, which were heard crashing at the railway station, a distance of a quarter of a mile, as the machine forced through them. Mr. Adams, upon clearing the trees, made an immediate descent in the adjoining meadow, belonging to Mr. Delenew, a farmer; and close to the Marsh-lane railway station. Upon the grapnels of the balloon catching in the stumps of some felled trees, the sudden jerk gave a fearful impulse to the parachute, which., remained attached, and which lay a short distance from . Where the balloon descended. Mr. Adams and his friend had no sooner alighted than they rushed to wards the parachute, to which the unfortunate French man remained fastened. A large concourse of per sons who had followed the course of the aeronauts were instantly on the spot, and the poor fellow, who re mained conscious and continued to moan and groan fearfully, was released from his painful position and con veyed to the Railway Tavern, adjoining the station, where Mr. Barrett, the proprietor, had a room imme diately prepared for his reception. A mounted mes senger was instantly despatched for medical aid, and Mr. Hicks was promptly in attendance. The poor fel low, who it appeared could not speak a word of English, but continued to exclaim "Mon, Dieu!" "Mon Dieu!" was then placed in bed, and Mr. Hick's made a careful examination to see what injuries ho had sustained, All that Mr. Hicks could discover was that the poor fellow, besides being externally bruised and injured, had sus tained some frightful internal injury, which from the beginning threatened life. In the course of the even ing several gentlemen from Cremorne Gardens hastened to learn if the report of the accident was true, and amongst the foremost that arrived was M. Franchet, an intimate friend of the unfortunate man, who had induced him as a matter of speculation to visit this country. M. Franchet appeared to feel deeply for the fate of M. le Tar, and refused to leave him, which seemed to ease greatly the sufferer's Condition, for M. Franchet could convey to his ha.ple , s family the tidin"gs of the melancholy diasaster. M. Franchet ful filled his promise, never leaving his unfortunate country man until death terminated his sufferings on Thursday last, and even after his death M Franchet expressed his determination not to leave the hotel until he bad seen the last rites paid to the deceased. From the first little hopes were entertained of the deceased recoverin,. Dr. M:lrsden was amongst other medical gentlemen called in by M. Franchet to attend the sufferer, and he agreed with Mr. Hicks that there were slight if any hopes. Up to his death he was quite sensible, and spoke with calm ness to M. Franchet; to whom he gave his last dying requests. He was 49th year, and it was stated that he has left familSr' in very indigent circumstances in Paris—his unfortunate wife being in the last stage of pregnancy. Amongst the visitors to the poor fellow, who took a deep interest in his fate, was Mr. Simpson, the proprietor of Cremorne Gardens. The parachute was not much injured, and remains at the inn for inspec tion of the coroner and jury. T}ll4 LONDON, MONDAY VnNING, JTYLY 10, imam: MARKET .NEWS-(THIS DAY, CORN EXCHANGE. Very little business was transacted in wheat in the leading country markets held on Saturday, and prices gave way from is to 2s per qr. Barley and in , dt were heavy. Oats were lower to purchase; but so little were doing in beans and peas that the quotations were almost nominal. Flour was cheaper, with a heavy demand. The latest advices from New York state that more business was doing in flour on English account. Wheat and other articles wore steady. Most of the Continental markets have continued dull and drooping. The arrivals of English grain to our market last week were very moderate. From abroad we received 37,663 qrs of wheat, 2,388 .barley, 18,626 oats, 446 beans, 5 peas, 7,776 linseed, 1,021 rapeseed,,2sosundry seeds, 4,850 sacks and 158 barrels of flour. _ _ _ The'quantity of English wheat receivedfresh up to our market to-day coastwise was very moderate, and the re ceipts by land carriage were small. The show of samples of both red and white was limited : nevertheless, owing to the rapid fall in the French markets, and the large imports, the demand was inactive. A few selected samples changed hands at last Monday's currency, but most other kinds were offering on rather easier terms.. For forward deli very we heard of no transactions, notwithstanding that -The growers were sellers at depressed currencies. We were heavily supplied with foreign wheat, all kinds of which met a dull inquiry. In the value of really good qualities, very little change took place ; but other descrip tions were offering on lower terms. There were very few floating cargoes reported off the coast. So little was doing in them that the quotations were almost nominal. Barley—the show of which was but moderate—moved off slowly, but we have no change to notice in its value. Malt was in good supply, and heavy request. Prices had a down ward tendency. The show of oats was good, all kinds moved off slowly, at barely the late decline in the quotations. Beans were held on former terms; but the inquiry for them was trifling. In peas, scarcely a transaction took place. The flour trade was dull, at last Monday's fall in value.

The receipts of beasts from our own grazing districts, as well as from Scotland, were very limited, the time of year considered. Although the attendance of provincial buyers was by no means numerous, the demand for all breeds of beasts was firm, at prices fully equal to those obtained on Monday last, and at which a good clearance was effected. A few very superior Scots realised a fraction over 5s 2d per 81bs. The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeshire amounted to 900 Scots and short-horns ; from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, 1,103 short-horns ; from other parts of. England ; 4CO of various breeds ; and from Scotland, 170 Scots. _ _ There was a decided increase in the supply of sheep, especially in long- woolled qualities. However, a steady business was transacted, and the prices of Monday last wore well supported. The best old Downs were worth 5s per 81bs. We were seasonably well supplied with lambs, which were in fair request, at full currencies —viz., 4s ad to 5s 10d. per 81bs. _ _ Prinie small calves were scarce, and quite as dear as last week. Other kinds of veal moved off slowly, at barely stationary prices. The supply was rather extensive. The pork trade was dull, but we have no change to notice in the quotations.

Our market to-day has been rather in an excited state. The extremely unfavourable accounts from the plantations have lowered the duty considerably—indeed, it has been done as low as 50,0031. and 60,0001. The show of samples is unusually small, yet the business doing is limited, on higher terms. Last week's imports were 45 bales from Ostend, 117 ditto from Hamburgh, and 10 ditto from Antwerp. Mid and East Kent pockets, 81. lOs to 111. Os ; Weald of Kent ditto, 81. 5s to 91. 15s ; Sussex ditto, Si. 5s to 9/, 15s per cwt. BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS. Since Monday last the imports of foreign potatoes have been good—viz., 30 bags, 34 tons from Jersey, 6,730 * baskets from Rotterdam, 700 barrels from Drontheim, and 132 barrels from Lisbon. The supplies of English continue extensive ; yet a large business is doing, as follows : English 8s to lls per cwt., and foreign 7s to 8s 6d per basket. WO%L. There is a fair demand for most kinds of English wool, at full prices ; but foreign and colonial qualities, owing to the near approach of the public sales, command very little attention. Last week's imports were 1,864 bales from South America, 12 from Calcutta, 149 from Madras, 95 from Mogadore, 800 from Bombay, 100 from Hamburgh, 1,300 from Algoa Bay, 900 from Freemautle, 1,500 from Geelong, 1,000 from Launceston, and 163 from Seville. The following are ,the quotations of English wool: South-down hoggets, is to is Id ; half-bred hoggets, lld to is ; ewes, clothing , lld to - ls ; Kent flee c es, i s t o is combing skins, lOid to is ; flannel wool, led to. is ld ; blankeewool, Id to ls ; and Leicester fleeces, led to is per lb. SEEDS. For most kinds of seeds we have to report a very inac tive demand ; indeed, so little business is doing that the quotations are almost nominal. The quantity of linseed on passage from various quay ters is reported as large. Cakes command previous rates, but the ipquiry for them dull. .. 2is 11;33 Coriander .......• •• • • 103 15 3 p . e . r .. b . u . sh. 14s to 20s Carraway.„, • ....... 42i 483 I3s Flempseed, per quarter 4(s 44s White, new ...... lOs 14a Linseed, Eng. - lowing.. 74s 76s raxes,Winter, new....

Ad miral Lord Radstock presided, and amongst the officers present were—Admiral fir John Ommanney, Admiral Gordon, Sir W. Dalyell, Sir G. Back, Sir J. Lambert, Sir Cornwallis Ricketts, Sir R. Grant, Sir Baldwin Walker, Sir A. Clifford, Sir E. Stanhope, Sir Thomas Hastings, Admiral Dundas, Sir W. 0. Pell, Sir Fleet wood Pellew, Admiral T. Martin, Admiral Lysaght, Admiral Harvey, Admiral Meynell, Admiral Truscott, Captain Macllwain, Captain J. Forbes, Captain Tur neau, Captain-Sotherby, Captain G. Evans, Captain Martin, Captain H. Austin, Captain R. Yates, Captain Best, Captain R. Mundy, Captain Moorson, Captain Chappell, Captain Richards, Captain Macdougall, an d Captain Dyke. After the Q ueen's health had been duly honoured, the noble Chairman proposed the health of their distinguished guest, the First Lord. Sir James Graham, in responding, said it was not in the nature of the members of the naval profession to boast of what they would do. They were satisfi ed to be judged by their acts, which always reflected h onour and credit on the service. After alluding to the gallantry of the young midshipman in throwing overboard a shell with alighted fusee from the deck of the Hecla, an act of daring cou rage which he had that morning had the pleasure of re warding, Sir James said he felt'assured that when the i navy did strike a blow t would be an awful and decisive ono. One of the most painful duties of his high Position was the necessity of passing over so much well d eserve d merit in the selection of officers for active service, and if he succeeded in giving satisfaction to the great body of the profession, it was perhaps all that he could ex pect to accomplish. He considered the esteem and the highest compliment ap probation of th at distin g uished com pany compliment a public man could receive, and thanking them verybegged in h ear tiry for their kindne ss , he - re turn to drink to all their good healths. The party broke up at a late hour.

It i s a l most nee dl ess to a dd , more- contemporary Fren c h an d German li tera t ure . over, they are distinguished, these "Notes," not less than the " Maps" which they are written to accompany, and which they undertake to illustrate, by the same unmistakeable marks of authenticity. The materials, we learn from the candid and pithy " Preface"—have been to a considerable extent taken from the writings of Mr. Taitbout de Marigny, formerly Consulfrom the Netherlands at Odessa, and for many years familiarised with all the difficulties of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azoif navigation. Mr. Wyld's " Notes," however, undertake at the same time to be more comprehensive than the works penned by M. de Marigny on the same subject, and, indeed, than those also of any former geo grapher or hydrographer w h o ma y h ave un d erta k en to describe the coasts and ports of the Euxine. Every one acquainted with the ancient and esta blished reputation of the ex-member for Bodmin, both as a geographer and as a hydrographer, will not be in any way surprised at the bold claim of superiority advanced in the present instance be yond those of his many predecessors. It is a claim, moreover, which the impartial reader will scarcely close these " Notes" before having first acknow ledged to have been established as reasonable. Their value just now, as illustrative of the of the events of current history, can scarcely be exaggerated by any terms of commendation. LITERATURE. The New Quarterly Review. No. XI. Without any doubt whatever the writers of this youngest and cheapest of the quarterly publications are among the most clevet, and certainly about the most daring, of contemporary reviewers. If we wanted to make good our words on the instant, we should only have to point to the current number of the New Quarterly just "out," as an instalment of the periodical under notice, affording our words of praise the most brilliant and complete justification. The New Quarterly reviewers boldly put their goosequills "in rest" and " have at " the most re doubtable among the living giants of contemporary literature. Ex. gr. in the number for the quarter which has just commenced, there are onslaughts-- fiery and slashing onslaughts upon Sir Archibald Alison, in, re his Vol. IN. of " The History of Europe," upon M. do Lamartine for his "Memoirs of Celebrated Characters," upon Sam Slick for his " Americans at Home," upon Dr. Whewell for his (or what is generally understood to be his) " Essay on the Plurality of Worlds," upon Mr. Bohn the bookseller, for his recent issue of Ero tica, as another volume of the " Classical Library," and at page 368, in one comprehensive sentence all together, upon Mr. Macaulay, and Mr. Hallam, and Lord Mahon, and Lord Campbell, and Mr. Grote, and Sir Bulwer Lytton, and Mr. Charles Dickens! Upon the last seven, however, the lash descends not for auy of the ordinary delinquencies of a man of letters, but because they don't contrive to extricate their literary brethren from the clutches of the publishers. As usual the contributions to the New Quarterly are portioned out under appro priate headings, calculated to facilitate the labour of reference. For example, after a comprehensive " Retrospect of the Literature of: the Quarter," we have criticisms on " The Literature of the War," on " The Crystal Palace Hand Books," on " Modern Schools and School Books," on " Travels," on " Novels," on " Hist or y an d Biography," and on works the character of which can only be numbered under the " Miscellaneous." In a charming paper on the gallant and lamented Joseph Rene Ballot, the death of the heroic young French sailor, is thus described and commemorated : "It occurred, too, at the very outset of his second ex pedition, and before he had gathered in a new harvest of renown. Death was the only glory he had to win,— ,death under a British flag,—death in the cause of hu manity. Let our countrymen think of these things ; and the memory of Ballot needs no other distinction. There is his picture in this year's exhibition, all life-like, and painted for his bereaved friend Lady Franklin, just before he bade ,her a last farewell. There is to be on some spot, dear to our nautical annals,—Greenwich, they say, or Portsmouth,--a monument to Bellot, such as shall record the love and gratitude of the English. Let it be so. But the man who is his own memorial can have no higher illustration ! We cannot refrain from offering one word upon the immediate cause, as we conjecture it, Of our poor friend's death.. His hands and feet were remarkably small, even for his size, add that was considerably below mediocrity. It was frequently the subject of remark amongst us how much theSe peculiarities of structure exposed him to dangerous accidents. If he worked a boat, his tiny fingers were not more than long enough to grasp the oar, and their strength barely adequat e to w i e ld it, even under the most fatourablo conditions of water apd weather. When he walked, his small feet stumbled over every roughness ; they seemed too slim and narrow to sustain the weight of his slight body ; and he tottered, slipped, and' tumbled about, almost like a child in lead ing-strings. To us, therefore, the now f am iliar details of his sad and untimely end have always presented them selves with an especial interest. We quote them from the Arctic Blue-Books. " 'The ice suddenly broke up, leaving M. Bellot and two men still afloat. The former, after making- arrange ments, by building a barricade with snow, to protect the men from the gale which had set in; went to the top of a hummock, close to a crack five fathoms wide ; and not returning shortly to the shelter, the men went out to seek for him, and could find nothing but the short stick he carded in his hand floating on the water. They re mained on the floe thirty hours after, and never saw a trace of him. There cannot be a doubt that poor M. Bellot was blown off the hummock into a crack by a vio lent gust of wind, when he indubitably perished by drowning ; as, unable to swim, be was much hampered with stiff wet clothes, and a south-wester tied under his chin.' Crewe-Rise. By John Cordy Jeafferson. 3 vole. Hurst and Blackctt. The first part of this story relates merely to the simple details of a small country village (from which the story takes its name), "Crewe-Rise." The time when the reader is first introduced to the spot iN many years ago ; it may, therefore, be supposed that the style and manners of the " Upper Ten," as the chief inhabitants were called, were primitive and peculiar. The heroine of the village, Jenny Welsh, is a charming character, pure, fresh, and unsophisticated, devoted to her grandmother, and attached to her friends. At the commencement of our acquaintance with her she is all gaiety and sun shine, but unfortunately she is soon cast down by sorrow and anxiety. Yet even then she does not lose all her pleasing attributes ; though more sub dued she is still serene. There are no passionate outbursts of wounded feeling to marthe impression she has previously produced upon the mind; above all, there is ever apparent a forgetfulness as far as possible of her own individual griefs, and an ear nest endeavour to conceal her drooping spirits from her devoted friends. Mary St. Ives is of a totally different disposition, but attractive also in her way. Possessed of many shining talents, which totally eclipse poor little Jenny's utmost powers, she was, nevertheless, outshone in the higher qua lities by her pure and simple village friend. Jenny bad trust in Providence, and was composed in all dangers and difficulties, while Mary was excitable and impatient, and would not submit patiently to her lot. Herbert Grreme is not so estimable or admirable as either of the ladies of the narrative. It is true that he improves greatly under the stern taskmaster of affliction, but there is not the same native nobleness of mind and integrity of heart evidenced in his life. While Jenny's pure nature kept her unspotted from the world, and Mary's high spirit seemed to rise and overcome it, Herbert but too readily mingled with its follies and yielded to its temptations. After a great deal of trouble and anxiety, however, he raised himself above the level of the weak and vicious set with which he had been mixing, and struck out a new line of action for himself. In his energetic fight he was often cast down and dispirited, but he found some firm friends at last. Some of his adventures with the poor and suffering are very powerfully described, particularly the awful night scene with poor Nelly, whom he found almost dying in the streets, the doors of the workhouse and hospital alike closed against her. It is with reluctance that we leave Jenny to become the wife of Frederick Price , who is not her equal, although a worthy ma n . ary St. Ives, on the contrary, with her daring determination to do right, and her high appreciation of all that was great and good, was exactly suited to Herbert Graeme, who wanted some guiding influence to sustain and strengthen his character. Among the interesting personages of the tale, one of the most prominent is the old Captain, Herbert's uncle, who resides perpetually at Crewe-Rise, and whose firm but generous conduct was mainly instrumental in rescuing his nephew in the hour of trial. The following are some conclud ing remarks of the author : " We have seen something of the harmony of life, and have looked beneath the surface picture of humanity. We have visited together the city and the village ; and in each we have seen the minister of God and the phy sician doing their sacred duties-- we have seen youth and age, each lovely, though differing in their loveliness. Wherever we have turned, much has met us to encou rage us in well doing—and though, at times, we have been made to tremble, we have never had reason to be without hope. " Love, not only lasting but becoming more purified by time, lias made us speak with lowly reverence, love perturbed and wounded has caused us to grieve, and love's growth and victory have gladdened us—while love's neglect has 'softened us with pity. "We have had some converse with the veteran of a past warfare, whose occupation was gone, before he had passed the flower of his honourable days • and we have beheld his place supplied by a you ng soldier fired with the heroism of the age, bold to do or die. " This young soldier we have accompanied through the most cruel trials of opening life ; we have 'watched him risin ,, from an enervating, unworthy life, have seen him search for the right and find where it was to be dis covered, throw down the enemies of his better self, break away from the allurements of artificial pleasure, reject the ti72sel and glitter of masquerade, and triumphantly stand forth a simple, earnest, mighty man." Lives of the Queens of England. Vol. VII. Colburn. The seventh volume of this valuable historical work has now appeared, and tho next volume will conclude it. This department of history has re cently engaged much attention, as is proved by the publication of many works of memoirs of queens or princesses. Miss Strickland may be considered as having been the first to draw attention to a sub ject which throws so much light on the secret his tory of courts and states. The present instalment gives us . the life of Mary 11., third Queen Regnant of Great Britain. Diary and Letters of Madame D'Arblay. Vol. VII. Colburn. "Poor fellow ! His short arms and little hands could not reach or grasp the surface of the thick ice from which he fell." Another critic in the New Quarterly writes thus gracefully of the homely masterpiece which will carry down to the love of posterity the name of Mary Russell Mitford The new edition of this celebrated work is now completed. The Diary itself is too well known to need criticism or comment. The edition is an ele gant one, with clear type, and the volumes of a convenient size. A portrait is affixed to each volume of one of the celebrities introduced. Whe ther we regard the writer as the well-known au thoress, or as the friend of so many of the distin guished characters of that eventful period, her narrative mast possess a peculiar interest. Those who wish to obtain it will find the present series commodious and easy of acquisition. " It -is now some thirty years and more since we were first invited to stroll along the straggling street of " Our Village, ' to thread our way through the labyrinth of twisting lanes embosoming it as in a nest of turfy and primrosy hedgerows ; to shelter beneath its " oaken avenue; populous with rooks ;" to navigate among the islands of cottages and cottage gardens" besprinkling its breezy common ; or to repose beside the " gorse fringed" waters of the bright flowing Loddon. A hue of enchantment was thrown over- all within, around, and about that little quiet spot ' • the magicpictures, half truth, fiction, fascinated us as by a spell, and enhanced our footsteps' into close attendance upon our fair hostess through years of visiting and gossiping acquaintance ship with scores of village worthies, of whose very existence we might previously have felt contented to re main ignorant. But no preconceived notices of refine ment availed us, after a first introduction, from soon making familiar friends of Jacob Giles, the " cobbler .over the way," big burly Tom Corderoy, the village Crichton," or even of vulgar Tom Hopkins ; nor did we, at ten years' end, feel any scruples about our serious interest in the matrimonial speculations of the vagabond " rat-catcher," clever, idle, good-for-nothing, itinerant Sam Page, the transitory muffin-boy, ballad-hawker, post boy,_ image-boy, organ-grinder, and wandering show proprietor, when settling himself down in his place in a quiet, domestic, tableau after his harlequinade of vagrant experience. Who will ever forget the tragic horror of the Cockney lady at the sight of the oak acorned by him with the spoils of the grand battue among the rats at Farmer Brooke's, or her comic perplexity as to its his standardfour wives of ev a s man hppna was y memory, animal or vegetable quality, v er it a ble rival as it wa s t o Munchasen's plum-pudding tree ? Then tha t shocking old toper, Master Green, whose his capacity for double X., the slut, the ugly, the silly , and the scold, and the fifth in prospective t o cheer hi s " unket " ho use. Anti-Malthusian in doctrine, promoter of m a t r i mony in withh e general, and love matches in particular, who could re fuse "to drink a health" to old Master Green ? And the Cric keters ! Coul d any one resi s t becoming one of the club, and lending a hand to maintain the supremacy of the Aberleigh lads over those Hylton and Hartley fellows ; especially when o ur ostess wasscoring, as she must have been when she saw th e cr i c k e t b a ll fire hundred yards. Then the bevy go ture's own children — nor starched of young girls—Na , nor stayed, nor stif fend by conventionalities ramuses that learn • ;those cha rm i ng littl e igno music from birds, and painting from flowers—that ride, shoot, garden, and coax—those vil lage pets that twine round every heart, old, middle aged, and young ;—_who rather prefer to be wild`colts, untrammelled by beaux, or matrimony art i imony in perspective, than to a ssume the dignity "engaged," or the gran leur of a mat matron--wh o would try to help falling in love with one and all of them ? Or refuse homage to those dear old ladies of every shade and type, almost rivalling them in beauty and sweetnes , , each with her real woman's heart deep enough and wide enough to take in and give out a whole world of love ? But those or dinary creatures of dirt and squalls, those gutter child ren, browning in the blaze of a vulgar sun !—is it pos sible we can ever be brought to sympathise in the joys and sorrows of mad-puddling manufacturers ? But children in " our village" sare not dirty, not squally, they dont make mud puddings, and lilies, and violets, and gypsey hats, transform them into the prettiest painter's groups conceivable ; and we romp with them, and toss hay with them, and gather cowslips to their hearts' content, and end in becoming absolute slaves to the coquetish tyranny of Miss Lizzy, whom we began by adopting as a pet. Next in the scale come the dogs ! Mayflower, the pretty greyhound at their head. Were ever any dogs like them before or since, save Landseers? They must have sat to him for their portraits. Is it not all glamour—is it not a phontom village, or an Ar cadia of fairy land ! But no ! we feel a genial glow, a LLOYD'S SHIPPING-{THIS DAY.)
