Every mechanical invention that in any way affects our naval and mercantile interests is deserv ing of prompt and careful attention. We are glad to find that the new improved rudder called Lum ley's Rudder" is being adopted with very general success. The improvement effected by this rudder is simple and eminently practical, and the benefit conferred by it is at the rate of not less than 5 1 per cent. This i 3 accomplished by making t 1() e rudder in two pieces (the tail and the 13 ' 3 4)—pieees which are joined together in the game manner in which the rudder is attached to the In addition to this, there are two chains fitted on the e outer edges of the "tail" on opposite aiot ? iu chains cross each other through diago tached to the the body of the rudder, and are then at in the usual W atern post. In working the rudder the " body , ja a t y il the " tail" part makes angles to makes angles to t e li B e arne way in which the body" formed and gveate S hip ; thus a recessed surface is steering power obtained—an angle of 1 0 degrees with the new rudder being equal to 20 degr ees . wi v t il an alteration o ld. Th e b ene fi c i a l result of such is obvious. The ti m e saved in getting the th e to 20 degrees is an immensetiller from 10 ort advantage when collisions are imminent are ahead. The hand of the steersman is investedkB th with doub l e power, the rudder h as double pu ase, and the vessel is rendered more manageable and easy i, the t to guide. The diff erent action of the t wo rulcier3 old and the ne w, is somewhat analo gous double reins, the c urb and snaffle of the e questria n , The Tho benefit of the alt eration must bo obvious elven t,) the inexperienced. The next thing is t o i nquire how the plan works when reduced to practize-- the most wonderfully satisfactory theories proving sometimes quite illusory when a practical test i s applied to them. In this instance the result appears to be very satisfactory. Daring the ten or eleven months that have elapsed since the invention was first patented, it has been applied to ten vessels of various kinds. Among them are three in the Royal Navy, namely, the Bulfinch gunboat, the Colum bine steamsloop, and the Locust. Of these the Columbine, a steamsloop of 609 tons and 150-horse Power, has recently returned from a cruise of several months on the coast of Scotl a nd, where she has been Protecti ngitta the fisheries. On the vessel being examined is said that the rudder (a Lumley Rudder) fa undto be exa c tly i n th e same con diti o n as when it was fitted out several months previously. When w e take into ace Columbi ne encou ount the severe weath er w hi c h the tered during this cr u ise, so se vere that duri ng one gale cutwater, the result she lo s t a p ar t o f h er b ow an d as regards the new rudder is highly satisfactory. This rudder is to be affixed to the acrew ships now i n emirs of construction at Port- Glusgow, vessels whi c h ared o wners say they will be enabl ed to b a u f:o l d r these Chn a s c. The re'w p s 100 tons larger in conseq uence of the greater f ac ility of navigation afforded by the new rudder. The vessels are intended for th e 'Tien-sin River, which, being very narrow and intricate, Only admits vessels of moderate d imensions ; but so great is the improvement effected in the steering power by the Lumley Rudder that the main difficulties of th e navigation are overcome. Facts such as these are better than a hundred arguments, and we cannot doubt thut when a further experience has caused them to be more generally known, the adoption of the " improved rudder" will become general. The attention of the Government should be particularly directed to such improvements ; and, after the satisfactory experience of the Columbine, the new rudder, here noticed, ought, certainly, to be affixed to every vessel in course of construction, Mr. VILLIERS has been trying to set forward the claims of her 11,1AJESTY'S Ministers to public s ap all proval with the best possible grace. Perhap may not concur in the validity and may even go so far as to assert thath:ha arguments,s spoken with the prejudices in the Ministry, and not with the delib erate sur veyofhis and prej ud g in g of one m and unbiassed opi nions of one who regards the ro afar. It might have t r ansactions of the day from been very satisfa ctor y for Mr. VILLIERS to draw inferences fro m the favourable reception accorded to the names of the Ministers, as to its representa tion of the sentiments of the country, but it is to be quest i o ned if such really w ere th e case, and if the general verdict of the nation would coincide with the flattering testimony of the Wolverhampton c stituents. In the first place, the right hon. gentle man was highly elated because the opponents of the Government were not desirous of displacing them. This idea may be carried too far, and some day the country may evidence a wish to displace a Govern ment that contains even men of such " extraordi nary talent" as Mr. GLADSTONE, and also " men of such large experience as Lords RUSSELL and Pan 3IERSTON." Too late they may find out that they are mistaken, and the courtesy of their political opponents, while it does them honour, cannot re dound to their credit in a particular manner, and is a convenient mode of settling awkward affairs. In his remarks on America, AIr.VILLIERs displayed the weakness of his cause, and showed how the interior affairs of the Cabinet are being arranged. It is something rather peculiar to listen to such argu ments as these, even when it is considered that they may be uttered by a man who is in a position that requires some ingenious explanations. When we are told that the pledge of neutrality to each conflicting party in America " has been strict'y and honourably observed," we are tempted to inquire if the canveyor of such information has studied the public events of the day. How does this compre hensive statement coincide with the question now in dispute in the courts of law—how does it accord with the redoubtable affair of the rams in the Mersey. It is really astonishing to find a gentle man in Mr. VILLIERS' position put forward so un tenable an argument in support of the Ministry, when all the facts of the case are patent to the world, and are in diametrical opposition to his views of the matter. When it is notorious that one of the chief members of the Cabinet has announced his intention of altering the laws of the land in order to forward the interests and carry out the intentions of one of the belligerent parties, of what avail is it to declaim and declare that nothing is to be done, or is doing, to suit the wishes of either side. It is really quite absurd, and, like all very extreme measures, can but militate against the cause that it professes to serve. The general topic of conversation, and the chief subject of discussion in the newspapers, has been the extraordinary favouritism shown by Ministers to the Federals ; and now we have a member of the Cabinet coming forward to say to his constituents that a strict and honourable neutrality has been maintained. After this we may expect anything remarkable or incom prehensible in the way of confidential disclosures, that are only uttered to be widely circulated and extensively spread about. The allusions to ;the "spirit and success" with which the honour of the British flag has been vindicated seem very purpose less, when we call to mind the insults received and the injuries inflicted on our vessels, and the almost total stoppage to our commerce in some localities. When unlimited power is given to a bullying Government like that of Washington to issue secret orders, and to make public decrees by which they may waylay and cap ture the vessels of a nation that was once the mis tress of the deep ; when the flag that " braved a thousand years the battle and the breeze" is to be no protection from ignominious capture and over weening insolence of inspection, it is a waste of time and a loss of words to attempt to exonerate, still less to extol, the conduct of affairs which have brought things to such a pass. When we reflect on what is now and what has been, the natural exclamation must be, tempora nautantur et nos mutanuna in illis ; and, therefore, these grandilo quent asseverations regarding the vast benefits and blessings that accrue from the present system seem at the best to be rather out of place. It is all very well to say that the Americans are to settle their affairs as they please, and no one has a right to interfere ; but that immunity cannot apply to their persistence in meddling with our affairs, and it can not indemnify our Government for coming forward in so marked a manner to render their assistance, and to propitiate them at all hazards, even when the issue turned upon the forfeiture of political support and of offence given to important interests in the community. If the only claim to success, and the highest tribute to the merit of this Govern ment when it departs, is, according to this dis course, their advocacy of the non-intervention prin ciple, then they stand but a very sorry chance, and are likely to come off very badly indeed. Mr. VILLIERS has made an agreeable and interesting speech, which doubtless delighted his hearers and will be highly applauded by his colleagues, but as regards the soundness of the arguments of the address it is otherwise, and more difficult to discourse of it. Great allowances are always to be made for these speeches, and of course no one dreams of attaching the same import to them as they would to the same th ings said in another place, but still these state ments are more or less the exponents of the policy and th e epitome of the plans of action desired by those in. authority. It is then certain that our thenister, ate tame anti leaning on a reed if they hope that Spiritless course now adopted in American affairs will be their road to honour, or ours to anything a will do but earls:reaching sat i s f act i on . N o thi ng a and energetic conduct in such complicated and precarious series of events, and those statesmen who adopt a timid and shuttling policy will never Succeed in their viow s making converts to , the bold and decided spirits who love :their country much, but honour more, and despise ;and condemn all treatment of the great questions of n ation with the petty an d sectarian • views o f a s of politicians. rejudiced clas The condition of the cotton trade is . without doubt, a serious consideration to the plantation owners of the Sout hern States. Their chief cus. tomer, suddenly deprived of the accustomed suppl y, is forced to look elsewhere for the raw material, and the Confederate cotton cultivators may justly feel uneasy at the prospect of flourishing cotton markets opening up in other qu l eers. They have so long been accustomed to contribute nearly the whole amount required by our mills that they find i it difficult to realise the possibility, now confidently talked about, of a sufficient quantity of raw mate llial being derived from other places. Neith er can it be supposed that they will look very kindly on any of the eff or t s now making to extend the grow th a sJad culture of the cotton plant, tu.d we must be prepared for discouragement and gloomy anticipa tions if we mean to accept the dictum of a Southerner on this important topic. It is with some reflections of this kind that we read the opinions of a Southerner lately published in a substantial volume.* Unwilling or unable to believe the actual state of the case, this gentleman takes refuge in pooh-poohing every attempt to im port the treasured staple from other countries, and quietly tells us that—" To the minds of many per sons it is quite clear that the people of England must consent to abandon the cotton trade, or again tuen their eyes westward for supplies." He talks of the " trifling amount" to be imported during the next twelve months, totally ignoring the calcula tions that have told us that four and a-half days regular work at the mills may be looked for all through next year. He disposes of the supplies from India, Queensland, Jamaica, Egypt, and Turkey with indifferent contempt, and cheerfully enough anticipates a further increase of the already exorbitant price of cotton goods. The idea, he says, now entertained in many quarters, that the world is not so dependent on the Confederate States for its supply as was supposed, is entirely fallacious, but he is probably loath to believe such unwelcome tidings. There can be no denial that the great body of the cotton consumers were, at the breaking out of the war, almost exclusively dependent on Confederate cotton—a fact on which North and South alike reckoned for our speedy interference and succour. The experience so dearly bought, however, can hardly prove altogether fruitless ; and we may reasonably hope that even in the event of a restoration of the status quo we should never again consent to place ourselves at the mercy of a foreign power. Mr. M'HENRY'S remarks on the position of the British market at the commencement of hos tilities are more accurate. The crops of the few years immediately preceding had exceeded the cur rent demand, leaving on hand a surplus of about three million bales at the outbreak of the war. Most of this quantity, according to Mr. M'HENRY, had been converted into manufactured goods, owing to the spinning force of Europe and America having increased in a few years 30 per cent., which gave a fictitious, not an actual consumption to the extra production. It was the fact of these large supplies being on hand which has kept up the sale of cotton eituffs, and has thus in some degree put out the cal culations of many politicians not versed in the pecu liarities of the trade. Mr. M'HENRY, though, is by no means the first to tell us that the American catastrophe saved Lancashire from another kind of panic, and rescued the manufacturers unexpectedly from the consequences of their own rash and im provident speculations. In ordinary times " there is always two years' supply of cottons in the crude and manufactured state at the consuming points ; at the fall of Fort Sumter there was a sufficiency for three years' requirements." Such a state of the market was favourable to us, as helping to fill the void until we could draw our supply from other and more secure sources. But Mr. M'HENRY tells us that it is useless to rely on India as a loca lity to occupy the place of the American States in the production of cotton, and that to accomplish such an end the climate and the systems of labour and trade would have to ba altogether revolutionised, and he proceeds to support this theory by a num ber of statistics—all, however, based on the state of affairs two or three years back. When we know the amazing increase which has taken place since then, and when every mail brings reassuring parti culars respecting the crop of the present season, we shall not be contented to go bask two or three years and measure our prospects by the results of the half hearted and indifferent cultivation then going on. We might as well accept the statistics of Indian pro dace in 1850.51 given by Mr. M'HENRY, in which tea, now fast becoming one of the chief ataples of India, figures as nil, as take the £7,342,167 set down as the value of cotton exports in 1861 as a sample of the exports of 1863-4, and subsequent years. When an unprejudiced observer reflects for a moment on the different state of affairs hitherto existing in India and the Southern States of America, the diffi culties put in the way of the former by the land tax, the laws of waste lands and the ignorance or indifference of the people owing to the former de pression of the trade, he will only wonder that in so brief a time so much has been accomplished, and instead of anticipating the necessity of revolution ising the climate and changing the habits of the na tives he will readily admit that all that is required is a few years of careful cultivation. The States themselves did not produce the same amount of cotton some years back, as they have done since the vast increase in the trade, and a certain market is necessary to the development of any branch of commerce. Neither can the inferiority of Indian cotton be accepted as a permanent drawback, for it has been ascertained that cotton of a fine quality will, if planted from American seed, readily grow in many parts of India. But one great reason why Mr. APHENRY clings to the preservation of the old form of the cotton trade is to be found in his pro-slavery sentiments. He reckons among the ' superior advantages of the Southern States, " their excellent system of slavery, which, if discontinued, would ruin them and England too ;" and again he speaks of the negro on the Southern plantations as " the happiest labourer on the face of the globe." This is a view of the case hardly likely to find favour with the British public, whose resolute re fusal to accept either extreme of the case, has occa sioned so much displeasure on the other side of the Atlantic. Because we do not believe in the disinte rested virtue of President Lieworev's proclamation, or sympathise with Mr. BEECHER'S unreasoning ranting, we are not going to change our firm con victions on the subject of slavery as a principle, and on such conditions as those above stated, Eng land will he less willing than ever to submit to Mr. APHENRY's assertion, that " the whole cotton ques tion after all depends upon the production of the American States." Many other aspects of the case are discussed in this volume, to which we shall return at an early opportunity.

AN AWKWARD LAUDATION.—When Carlos in the "Duenna" is presented by Little Isaac to his affianced, Carlos, of whom some handsome speech is ex pected, whispers to his friend, " Isaac, your mistress is very difficult to compliment." The Lord Chancellor appears to have experienced the same sort of difficulty in his address to the new Lord Mayor (who is, we believe, a liberal and thoughtful man, of more than average ability), and he could not, like Carlos, escape from his embarrassment by singing a song. So he floundered on in this awkward fashion .

The Grand Duke being convinced, by the con tinual increase of the insurrection in Poland, of the incompatibility between the condition of affairs in that country and the feelings of good-will for its pacification which induced the Emperor to entrust him with carrying into operation the institutions which had been decreed, the Emperor consents to relieve the Grand Duke of his functions as Lieute nant and Commander-in-Chief in Poland, and trusts that after the re-establishment of order ho will resume his task. VILNA, Nov. 7. The lVilnaer Courier of to•day says :—" The Abbe Antony Gargas, vicar in the parish church in the district of Telche (Government of Kowno), brought before court-martial, has been found guilty of having taken part in the operations of insurrec tionary bands, of having fought arms in hand against the troops, of having administered the oath to insurgents, and published revolutionary mani festoes in the villages. lie has therefore been con demned to death. This sentence having been ap proved by General :Mouravieff, Abbe Gargas was shot on the 19th ult. in the town of Telche." The same paper contains a circular of the Gover nor General of Wilna, addressed to the Governors of Kowno, Grodno, Minsk, Witepsk, and Mohilew, which says :—" Considering the necessity of having a complete account of absentee land owners, as well as ot their sons or relations residing upon their estates, I desire your Excellencies, lsc—To send in to me a list of all landowners of Polish origin in foreign countries who do not return at the expiration of the term fixed by their passports, that I may at once pro ceed to confiscate their domains ; 2d—To designate those among the landowners, their sons or relatives, who, after having received permission from the military commandants to absent themselves from their estates, have not returned thither by the ap• pointed day, as well as those whose residence at the present moment is not known to the local authori ties, being careful to specify the names of individuals known to be among the bands ; 31—To send in to me detailed information of all the nobles, Catholic clergy, employ CA, and administrators ot State lands of Polish origin.

The mercantile class here is in despair, because the Bank upon the one hand almost entirely refuses discount, upon the other pursues the well-known practice in the issue of specie, which amounts to a denial. It is said now that the first business houses are agreed upon sending it to the Finance Minister, Baron Stieglitz, the Governor of the Bank. The petitioners will hardly encounter better fortune than the merchants who visited Poltowa fair, and discovered, to their alarm, that the branch establish ments, customary during the fair, had not been opened. Telegrams were at once despatched to the Finance Minister, who sent for Baron Steiglitz. Half an hour later a privy councillor at the Ministry received orders to telegraph to Poltawa to ascertain if the affair was quite correct, and the Bank had acted rightly. Here also the Baron is reported to have said--" A crisis was impending, and the Bank considers it its duty to hasten its outbreak." This would be a bold judgment, even were it in every respect correct. But the truth is, that the Bank is deficient in funds. It cannot make use of its bullion for discount operations, and noes are the less available as their emission has ceased, and the Bank cannot get rid of its 4 per cent. metallics, when money is as high as 10 to 12 per cent. WARSAW, Nov. 8. The impatience with which the public has awaited the Emperor Napoleon's speech may very easily be conceived. It was believed that the Rus sian Censor, Pawlis zezew, who is also in virtue of his office chief editor of the official D . Ziennik Pows Zeitung, would have no hesitation in permitting its publication, and the editors of the various local papers hastened to get the speech into type. Greatly to the general disgust, however, M. Pawliszezew prohibited the Warsaw papers from publishing the document, but issued it himself in the Government journal. The D'Ziennik of the day before yesterday pub lishes a proclamation stating that the issuing of passports has been transferred from the department of the Interior to the charge of Gen. Trepow, chief of the gendarmerie in the kingdom. From 1831 until two years ago the management of the pass ports Wftb in the bands of the military Governor, of whose office the present gendarmerie chief is only a successor, and Polish subjects have now, there fore, to go through a long series of tedious formali ties before they can obtain a passport good for from eight to fourteen days for Warsaw, and for four weeks for the provinces. Yesterday's D'Ziennik , contains the Russian ver sion of Komorowski's and Rochebrun's inroad from Gallicia into Volhynia upon the 2d inst. The offi cial paper states that the insurgents suffered great losses—numbers not given—and transported dead and wounded across the frontier. Eleven insur gents are reported captured, with 30 horses and 7,000 cartridges. The insurgents are said to have been pressed hack into Gallicia, where 400 were disarmed by the Austrians. as being sufficient for the accommodation re quired." " Many persons," says the Siecle,"have received the proposal of a Congress as a generous dream, as a Utopia, the realisation of which was to be desired but must be ever adjourned.

There is no chance of a❑ Address to the Throne being voted, and indeed to do so would be suicidal on the part of the Chamber. Re-perusal of the Speech only confirms the bad im pression it at first made. The intimations it contains of respect to the Constitution are looked upon as the merest mockery, when in one of its very earliest paragraphs the country is informed that a bill will be brought in to regulate the rights of the Govern ment with respect to budgets the Deputies may re fuse to vote. After this it is quite in vain that an appeal is made with respect to the reorgani sation of the army. In vain does the Sovereign urge the Chamber to address itself to the question of domestic differences with the earnest will to come to an understanding. The existing breach has been widened by this Speech, generally pro claimed, notwithstanding its affectations of consti tutionalism, to . be worthy of a despotic Government. What will ensue it is impossible to say, but the public mood is not favourable to approaching peace. The Speech announces a great deal of busi ness for this session ; but how much of it will be transacted ? Many bills are to be brought in, but the Opposition laughs at the idea of their acceptance by the Lower House. As regards the press ordi ❑ances, Government will neither get absolution for the past, nor modification, in the sense they desire, of the existing law. In short, to-day things look gloomy, and the word is War. It is the Effect of the first impression, but it is doubtful whether this will be much modified by reflection. With respect to the rumoured mediation and compromise, semi official writers seek to weaken the effect produced by recent newspaper paragraphs. Without attach ing too much weight to the contradictions in ques tion, whether insinuated or positive, we yet must admit that the tenour of the Speech is not favourable to the realisation of such well-intended projects. In the short sitting which bosh Houses of the Diet held yesterday afternoon, Count Stalberg Wernigerode was re-elected President of the Upper Chamber. In the Lower Chamber, M. Taddel, as the oldest Deputy present, took the chair, and the four youngest Deputies were appointed Secretaries provisionally. Lots were drawn for the division of the Chamber into Committees or sections, which to-day are engaged in the examination of the elec toral returns. As soon as more than half of the elections have been approved, the choice of the President and Vice-Presidents will be proceeded to. Until Friday or Saturday it is not likely that there will be anything of interest to record. iVleanwhile, the principal political parties are holding their evening meetings. The Left Centre musters in greater strength than was expected, and will reckon, it appears, 100 members. The party of progress still counts on 150, so that these two fractions together will compose five-sevenths of the Chamber. In yesterday's sitting, a number of the principal members of all parties were present. The right of the house, a world too wide for the Conser vatives—in front of whom sat Schwerin, Simeon, and the remnant of the Liberals of the Centre—was invaded by the men of the Bockum Doffs, or Left Central fraction. M. Von Heydt, who was pre sent at a recent meeting of the Feudal party, has seated himself in the Chamber in front of them and behind the old .Liberals—a place significant of his political position. _ From what I hear, the question of the two Poles who hive been elected deputies—they being at the time in prison on a charge of treason, is not likely to give rise to a conflict. It is more probable that the matter will be treated in a purely constitutional way ; that the Government will supply the Chamber with documents showing the grounds on which those two gentlemen were arrested, and that the Chamber, on finding those grounds sufficient, will not insist on their release. It is expected that one, if not two, of the Conservatives who have been returned at this general election will be unseated in conse quence of the illegal practices that it will be proved were resorted to. If investigations were rigorously carried out, it is probable that more would share the same fate, but I am informed that in this matter there is no intention of displaying a vindictive animus towards Government and its supporters. On the eve of submitting to the Chamber the press ordi nances, and a modification of the press law and penal code, the Government does not seem disposed to vie with its adversaries in forbearance. A third warn ing was yesterday given the Berlinger Allgemeine, for the concluding paragraph of a leading article in which it was declared that, in presence of Austria's recent attempt, Prussia found herself fettered in the display of her power by the fault of her present Government, and that although, in spite of the shortcomings of the present Ministry, Austria had suffered a defeat, no victory could be claimed when the power was wanting to derive the smallest ad vantage from the adversary's reverse. For these remarks, not very violent, but unpleasantly true, the Berlinger Allgemeine receives a third warning, which, according to the Ordinance of the Ist June, should be a suspension, bit certain pruden tial considerations, spoken of in a former letter, make the authorities unwilling to proceed to such extremities. The arrival of the Crown Prince, to be present at the opening of the Chamber, took Berlin by sur prise, it is said his Royal Highness was sum moned rather suddenly by a telegram from the King. He is not expected to return to this capital after the hunting party to which he has accom panied his father, but to proceed from Magdeburg to Coblentz to visit Queen Augusta, now staying there, and then to go back to England. A.large party of Princes is to - day asse mbled in Letzhngen Forest. There are, besides the King, four mem bers of the Royal family of Prussia, Prince Augustus of Wurtemberg, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg- Schwerin, Duke of Brunswick, Duke William of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Prince of Anhalt-Dessau, and others. Of the Ministers there are--Messrs. Bismark, Bodelschwingh, Roon, Selchow, lizem plitz, Scbieinitz, &c. Marshal Wrangel, of course, is there, and sundry other high civil and military functionaries swell the Royal train. While the hunting party lasts, telegraphic communication is provided for with the for eats. There is a report that numerous vacancies which exist in the Chamber of Lords will shortly be filled up. Under a Government of liberal tendencies the opportunity would be a good one for strengthcning the minority, and so facilitating the ultimate re form of that retrograde and impracticable assem bly. As it is, no great penetration is necessary to conjecture what political party will be reinforced by the now creations, should they presently take plac. A newspaper estimates; at 3,000,000 thalers 0450,000) the cost incurred by the military mea sures, concentration of troops, &a., made to cover the Polish frontier in consequence of the insurrec tion in that kingdom. The subject of the European Congress proposed by the Emperor Napoleon receives, notwithstand ing the meeting of the Chambers, a great deal of attention here. People cannot believe that it is proposed without some assurance of support having been previously secured, and whence, they ask, can that have been obtained except from Russia ? At any rate, if Russia accepts, Prussia, there is a strong disposition hero to think, will surely follow in her wake, Two or three days ago the prevailing opinion here was that an execution in Holstein was almost inevitable, but people now speak of it with less certainty, and there is a report of propositions hav ing been made by Denmark to Prussia and Austria. It is generally thought that nothing less than the suspension of the patent of the 30th March and of the promulgation of the new Denmark-Schleswig constitution will induce the Federal Government to stay the execution. Schiller's old play of " Kabale und Liebe" afforded opportunity for a political demonstration a few nights ago at the Theatre Royal in Berlin. One of the female characters says to Ferdinand, "It was the Prince who gave you that sword ; to which the young officer replies, It was the State gave it me by the Prince's hand." The audience applauded so vehemently that the actors were fain to sus pend their performance until the burst was over. Another passage in the same play has been struck out, for fear, one cannot but suppose, of unpleasant applications. The President, who has attained to power by no clean paths, exclaims, " An oath ! what avails an oath, blockhead P.' To which Warm, the secretary, replies, " Nothing with us, gracious Sir. Everything with that sort of men." Whe ther the audience had already taken this up, I cannot say, but a person who was present assures me that at the last performance of the play it was omitted. Although the country in which the action of Kahle und Liebe passes is not stated by Schiller, certain passages of the play are considered to indicate it as Electoral Hesse. It is not, however, on account of the obnoxious Sovereign of that petty State that Berlin audiences applaud and censors ply their scissors. The applications made are to persons and circumstances nearer home. We do not any longer approve his Hessian High ness for unconstitutional proceedings, but Kladdera datsch, sadly at a loss latterly for topics whereon to exercise its pencil, is still left at liberty to exhi bit him, watching from his opera-box the pirouettes of the ballerine, while his Ministers await in the lobby their Sovereign's leisure for affairs of State. 16211 „ . , hp/ n Irdiat 4 1 I TIER MAJESTY. WINDSOR CASTLE, Nov. 11. The Queen, accompanied by her Royal High ness the Princess Helena, drove in the grounds this morning. Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess of Prussia (Princess Royal) arrived at Windsor Castle from Sandringham in the afternoon. Lord de Tabley and Lieutenant-General Sir Henry Bentinck have succeeded Lori Rivers and Colonel F Beytnour, C. 8., as Lord and Groom in Waiting. The Prince and Princess of Wales. SANDRINGHAM, Nov. 11. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, attended by Major Teesdale, drove out this morning. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, with Major Teesdale, Lieutenant-Colonel Keppel, Gene ral Knollys, and Mr. Fisher, went out covert shoot ing to-day. Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess of Prussia, attended by the Countess Hohenthal and the Count Furstenstein ; his Royal Highness Prince Frederick of Denmark, attended by Captain Lund ; and his Serene Higness Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, left Sandringham Hall this morning at half-past ten, for Wolferton station, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, who were attended by Lieutenant-General Knollys, Major Teesdale, Lieu tenant-• Colonel Keppel, and the Countess of Morton, The royal party left Wolferton by the ordinary train at 11.57. The Crown Princes proceeded to Windsor on a visit to her Majesty, and Prince Frederick of Den mark returned to Oxford to continue his studies at the university. FRANCE. A Paris letter in the Journal (la llarre says : " The representatives of the Powers resident in Paris have been informed that M. Drouyn de Lhuys is engaged in drawing up an explanatory docu ment, comprising the programme of the different questions which the Emperor intends to submit to the Congress. It is only, as is generally be lieved, after the delivery of that document to the different Governments, that the latter will reply to the invitation of Napoleon 111. Meantime, so little doubt appears to be felt in high adminis trative regions of the realisation of the Congress, that the question of residence is already under consideration. The Tuileries, the Palais-Royal, the Palace of the Elysee, the Great and Little Trianon, and the palaces of St. Cloud, Fontaine- L bleat), Rambouillet, and Meudon are mentioned CHRYSANTHEMUM SHOW. Yesterday a Chrysanthemum show was opened at the Agricultural Hall, Islington, and it is to be con tinued throughout to day and to-morrow. The pro moters of the exhibition, with a view to draw a large number of persons, offered other attractions besides the show, consisting of performances by the Scotch Fusilier Guards, and the brothers Shapcott and the infant drummer, in the day, and a vocal and instrumental concert in the evening, which was fol lowed by the presentation of prizes to the 20th Middlesex Volunteers. All those attractions, how ever, failed to obtain a fair attendance at half-a crown a-head, but this and to-morrow being shilling days greater success is looked for. The show of flowers is excellent. In the hall itself are arranged the plants. Many of these are beau tifully trained, and exhibit some rare and elegant kinds of bloom. In the other gallery, however, is a display of cut flowers, and amongst them there are some extraordinary specimens, Many are larger than very fine dahlias, and others are in the form of a perfect ball. Such elegant varieties have never been exhibited before, and they seem to leave no room for improvement on them in future years. All cultivators of chrysanthemums should see the show, add no admirers of flowers can tail to be charmed with it. Several stalls for the exhibition of useful and ornamental articles are also fitted up in the hall. Prominent amongst these is one by Messrs. Mappin Brothers, of 222, Regent-street, on which is dis played some elegant plate, from which successful competitors may select prizes if they do not elect to take them in money, the prizes offered amounting to £3OO. Miss A. Brunies exhibit some artificial flowers made of paper, and so natural are they, that they required very close inspection to detect that they are not cut flowers. This lady displays the greatest skill in this pretty art, which she has acq uired by her own perseverance without the aid of an instructor. On the whole the show is a success, though the attendance was not so numerous as was desirable. COLOURED PHOTOGRAPHS, We lately mentioned a dispute which had arisen between a M. Ricco of Modena, and Col. Baratti, Director of the Camera Oscura, a photographic journal published at Milan, about priority of in vention, both claiming to have found a method of producing photographs in the natural colours of the originals. We now find, from a number of the Camera Oscura, that the invention is far from being so important as was at first supposed ; still it is worth describing as a decided improvement. Sap: pose it be required to colour the photograph of a man in a black coat, whose hair and beard are fair, and whose figure is projected on a white foreground, slightly shaded off. The process of the inventors is as follows :—The photograph taken by daylight lies in a basin full of water ; it is dark, and the subsequent operations aro performed by candlelight. Two solutions are at hand, one A, consisting of one gramme of chloride of gold and 10 of acetate of soda dissolved in 1,000 grammes of water ; the other B, consisting of 20 grammes of hyposulphite of soda dissolved in 100 grammes of water. There are besides two more basins with water, and a quire of blotting-paper. The photograph is taken out of the water, and put between the leaves of blotting paper; it is then laid flat on a pane of glass, and the whole surface except the face and hands re ceives, with a water-colour brush, a coating of solution A. By this means the parts subjected to the action of the gold soon change their tints into black. The photograph is then put into clean water again, and left there for a few minutes, during which the operator prepares a second photograph, if required. The former one being taken out, is put into seintion B, where it stays for a few minutes, and is then washed and rinsed as usual. Now as the time of immersion 'fc 1 influence the depth of colour, by successive immersions an orange•coloured cravat will be obtained in one minute, a coffee-coloured great coat in five, violet• coloured trousers in 10, and a black coat in 30 minutes, while the hyposulphite of soda, or solution B, gives colour to the flesh and hair, Hence cer tain colours though, not quite the natural ones, ma y be obtained, which is a decided step in I advance. GOOD SPORT.—The Duke of Cambridge, Lord George Manners, General Hill, Colonel Macdonald, an d Colonel Newton have shot this week over the Linke preserves, near Newmarket, aad made a bag of 636 head— viz., 332 ph^asants, 256 hares and rabbits, and 48 partridges. Ou a secona day the same party shot in three hours in CneveleyPatk 190 pheasants, 60 hares, 23 rabbits, two par tridges, and one woodcock. The Duke of Cambridge has also shot over the covers of General Hall at Weston Co! vine, in the same neighbourhood, with the Duke of Beau fort, Lord Mount Charles, Lord Stamford, the Marquis of Salisbury, and Colonel Macdonald. In two days 1,260 pheasants, 324 hares, 101 rabbits, and 10 partridges were shot, making a total of 1,695 head, The Crown Princess of Prussia, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess of Prussia, who left Sandringham yesterday morning, arrived in London by the Great Eastern Railway at a quarter to four, and immediately proceeded to the Great Western Railway in one of the Court car riages, which was in waiting at the station. Her royal highness left Paddington station by the ex press train at five o'clock, and arrived at Windsor at 5.40. There the royal traveller was received by the railway officials and conducted to her carriage out side the Queen's private waiting-room. On reach ing the castle, the Crown Princess was received and welcomed by her Majesty and other members of the royal family. Her royal highness, during her stay at Windsor Castle, will, it is expected, lay the foundation stone of the new district church which has been com menced at Windsor on the Lammas. This cere mony will probably take place on the 21st inst., the anniversary of the Crown Princess's birthday. APPROACHING MARRIAGES IN HIGH LIFE.—A matrimonial alliance is arranged between Lord William Pitt Lennox, son of the fourth Duke of Richmond, and Miss Molyneaux, daughter of the Rev. Mr. Molyneaux. marriage is also arranged between the Rev. Canon Stanley (now Dean of Westminster) and Lady Augusta Bruce, sister of the Earl of Elgin. DEATH OF LORD CHESHAM.—We regret to an nounce the death of Lord Cheeham, which took place on Tuesday night, at his residence, in Grosvenor square. His lordship had only been ill a short time, but his family were fully aware of the nature of his disease. The late Charles Compton Cavendish was the youngest son of George, first Earl of Burlington, by Lady Elizabeth, daughter of Charles, seventh Earl of Northampton, and was born 28th August, 1793. He married in Tune, 1814, Lady Catherine, eldest daughter of George, ninth Marquis of Huntley, by which lady, who survives him, he leaves a son and two daughters, namely, the Hon. William G. Ca vendish, M.P. for Buckinghamshire; the Hon. Sarah, monied to Lord Deere; and the llon. Harriet, married to the Earl of Strafford. His only son, who succeeds him in his title, is married to a daughter of the late Hon. Win. S. Lascelles and Lady Caroline Lascelles, a nice° of the Duchess Dowager of Sutherland, and the Earl of Carlisle. The late lord sat in the House of Commons from 1820 tiff his creation as peer under the title of Baron Chesham, of Chesham, County Bucks, in the early part of 1858. I n 1820 and 1826 he represented Newtown, Hants, in the House of Commons, and in 1831 the borough of Yarmouth. At the general election in 1832 he was returned member for East Sussex, for which division of the county he sat till 1847, when he was elected for Buckinghamshire, ia conjunction with the Right Hon. B. Disraeli and Dupre. THE BLACK-LETTER SAINTS OF THE ENGLISII PRAYER-BOOK were every one excluded from the first Prayer-book of Edward VI. (1549). In the second Prayer-b,ok of Edward, three were introduced—St. George, the patron saint of England; St. Clement, contemporary of the Apostles ; and St. Lawrence ; and to these names was added, for the Ist of August, Lammas-day—so called, it is supposed, from Loaf-mas—the feast of the first fruits of the harvest. In Queen Elizabeth's Prayer-book, as printed in 1559, no additional saints appear ; but in those afterwards printed in her reign, the list is nearly the same as at the present day. Eunurchus was added in the revision of James 1., and St. Alban and the Venerable Bede in that of the reign of Charles 11. The movement from the reign of Edward to that of Charles was in a degree reactionary ; but that only proves that some strong reason must have ex- , isted for reintroducing names which before theßeformation were in common use—that they were social necessities which called for their reinstalnients. Bishop Mant tells us that they were partly retained because the returns of the courts of law were commonly made with reference to these days, such as Fest Martin, Crest Martin, and Vigil Mar tin; one of our law terms, we know, is called after St. Hilary, Another reason he gives is that mechanics and artisans could not dispense with their patron saints ; the shoemakers would not part with St. Crispin, of whom it is told that, with his Brother Crispianus, on his missionary tours, he worked at his trade like Paul and Apollos. Welsh men would have St. David. Again, churches had been dedicated to these saints, and fairs and wakes held near them on their festal days; therefore, it became necessary to retain their names in the calendar. Also, histories written before the reformation dated events from these festal days, as, for instance, Lammas, Martinmas,---and, therefore, again some guide to the days of the month on which these festivals fell was necessary.—London Review. THR MEANING OF FRACTIOUSNESS OF CHIL-• DREN.—A.II children, says a Saturday Reviewer, have thoughts which exceed the powers of expression. Farents know by painful experience, that there is a certain age at which children become fractious, ill-tempered, and difficult to manage to the most unpleasant degree. It is the age at which they have learnt more or lees to think, but not to speak. They know perfectly well what they want, try in vain to explain themselves, and are as irritated and angry at not succeeding as a certain description of Englishman is apt to be with the stupid brutes of foreigners who, as he observes, cannot speak a word of any rational language. A child at this period is not a pleasing' creature, but it is a v H er o y w o d d o d es an it d th in in st k rrti D va o . es i l t V s h a a y t to i p t a s s e s lf is in , in in nwo it r s ds m , i l nd w ? ant this or that—what a fool my nurse must does not say this, what does it say ?

The heroine of the article, "Pet Marjorie," or Marjorie Fleming, Was an traordinary child, who was born on the 15th of Januall► 1803, and died on the 19th of December, 18 1 1, at the age of eight 3 ears. She was a little prodigy in Edinburgh., and pet of Sir Walter Scott's, who was a friend of her family' and used to spend hours in prattling with her and hearing her recite poetry. From the age of six to her death sil e was in the habit of writing little letters , and jotting down. scraps of verse and prose; and amusing extracts from these childish and ill-spelt remains are given in Dr. Brown s paper. They gleam with sense, humour, and, in ,hor precocious genius; and, with them and with Dr, Brown setting of them, the article is very striking, bit, Egyp Dit Greel Dit Bit Italia Mexic ;Dit Austr butcl Dit r etie Itali a )it Dit. °luso is s and Ne , mot 90a faCE 14ai ti nt bite (Be: 108.
