, serious preparations for quitting Bulgaria could be made. The Vienna journalist affirms that the ex pedition can hardly be said to be directed against a " first-rate fortress," in the true sense of the ex pression. The line of defence of the Russians is enormous, and the nature of the soil 4 such that " the intrenched works constructed by the Rus sians on the land side during the last few months cannot be very formidable." " The attack on Sebas topol, continues the Lloyd, "is a bold but not a rash enterprise, and, if it succeeds, the war in the east will assume a totally different character." " Russia fights at Sebastopol, not for the Crimea alone, but for Bessarabia, all its possessions in the Black Sea, and, indirectly, for Finland." The total amount of the subscriptions to the Na tional Loan is 500,788,477 florins. , The Lloyd of Vienna gives the following inte• resting letter from a resident at Odessa : " 01)ESSA, Sept. 7.—1 entrust this letter to a friend of mine who is flying to Tirasopol with many more resi dents of this place,' alarmed at the threatening position taken up by the ships of the enemy near our harbour. The half of the inhabitants have already fled into ,the interior of Russia, in order to escape the frightful can nonading that has already thundered several times in our ears. Ships after ships have been collecting since yes, terday iu eight of our menaced city. Several of them have to-day drawn up in battle array and commenced ball practice. At first our commandant, General An nenkoff, thought the enetpy.was going to attack us, and ..so kept our garrison under arms.. But after a brief recon naissance the true state of the case was seen. The enemy has not yet attacked us, but we hourly expect that he will do so. A large number of ships is steering to the west. The enemy will, it is certain, menace every point of the Russian Euxine coast simultaneously, so as to keep our army 'everywhere an the alert. Akjermann, Odessa, Oczakov, Kinborn, Eupatoria, 'Sebastopol, and other places as far as Anapa will have to 'prove the wrath of the hostile poweis. Prince Menschikoff has exhausted every means of defence in order to render Sebastopol impreg nvble by-sea and land. BetweenSebastopol and Balaklava are strong detached forts have been built, which are manned by a corresponding number of troops. The road from Balaklava to Jalta has been broken up here and there, and mined. The reach of coast frorrl Sebastopol to Eupatoria is defended at irregular intervals by six batteries. Round Eupatoria three forts have been built, north, east, and south. This place is garrisoned by 15,000 men. The heights round Sebastopol are sur rounded with trenches and ditches, crowned with 18 batteries, and defended by 20,000 men. The garrison of Sebastopol amounts to not more than 10,000 men ; and 'if you add to them the craw of the fleet, the place itself will be defended by 25,000 men in all. Prince Mens chikoff has prepared his people for the worst in a procla mation he issued on the Sd inst. lam not able,to send you the text of it, but I can be answerable for the tenor of the-contents, which I have from a military man who is a friend of mine. The Prince begins by enume rating all the victories the _Russians have gained in the course of this century, and exhorts the soldiers, by valour and power of resistance, to win similar victories over the enemy. Should the latter, however; by an un alterable decree of ' hea s ven,' pass onwardi and gain the Victory, then.all the pOwder, magazines are to be blown up. . Sooner' death than yield - to the foe, is the sentiment which winds up the proclamation. Our army is much disoirited. The news of the fall of Bomarsund has not failed to cause a depression of tone among the military of all ranks. Rather large reinforcements have arrived within the lastjew days from the interior of Russia, particularly from-the district of Novgorod. They don't remain here, however, but go on to Oczakov and Cherson. Troops have also arrived from the army of the Danube."— PERSIA. - - The Ottoman Government has inserted the fol lowing rectification in the Constantinople Journal : " The Constantinople Journal, in its number of the 4th of September, announces on the faith of a corres pendent from Trebizond, that his Excellency Ahmed Vefik Effendi, ambassador of the Sublime Porte at Teheran, had arrived on the 25th of August at Erze roum, after having broken off his relations with the Pei.- Sian Government. " This news is false, and requires more particularly a formal contradiction, because the censorship bad for bidden the publication of it. The last despatches from Ahmed Vefik Effendi are dated from Teheran. Besides this, the Persian C'naig6 d'Affaires has addressed formal complaint on the subject to the Sublime Porte. DENMARK. A letter from Copenhagen, 15th, in the Moniteur, says :—" The Danish Government has lately ;given repeated marks of sympathy and good-will towards the French navy, which has been warmly applauded by public opinion. Amongst them is the' order spontaneously sent to the authoritiet of Jutland to render every possible assistance in saving a vessel laden with provisions for the Baltic fleet, which had got ashore, and also the sending a steam-tug to assist the Vengeance frigate. The King of Den mark has added to these friendly proceedings of his Government in conferring on M. Ducos, the French Minister of Marine, the grand cordon of the order of Danebrog." FI3,A.NCE. The Moniteur has the following from Bordeaux Tuesday evening :—" The Ena press has justarr arrived here ; the Emperor was waiting for her at the rail way station. Their Majesties were received with much enthusiasm. During the day the Emperor had visited several of the public edifices. At the cathedral his Majesty was received by the Cardinal Archbishop at the head of his clergy. The people, who bad assembled in great number in the streets, were 'dud in their declamations.." The Minister of Marine has just received ac counts from the Rear-Admiral commanding the French naval division in the India and China seas, under date of the 18th July. The jeanne d'Arc, frigate, bearing the admiral's fleet, was at that date at Macao. This account mentions the attack on the pirates by a united French, Portuguese, and. American naval division, which had already been communicated in a telegraphic despatch, and adds no new fact, except that sixteen of the pirate junks had been attacked and dispersed, and two of them captured. "It has been decided," says the Colonne of Boulogne, "that, unless unforeseen events should take place, the four camps near this town shall be occupied until next spring." We read in the Pays: — "Notwithstanding the abundant crop of corn, a rise took place last week in some market 4 in the north of Prance. We think it necessary-to satisfy certain per sons who at the first glance do not understand this up ward movement. The quantity which had been fur nished by importation amounted to upwards of 9 mil lions of hectolitres, including what was wanted for the war department. A considerable reserve is still left of this supply, and on the other hand the harvest, as we have already said, and ,as every body knows, has been excellent. It is therefore impossible that the rise can continue ; a fall must necessarily soon take place, and continue until it bas come down to the level wits the offers and wants of the country. It may be asked what are the causes of the price still keeping up ? These causes may be readily explained ; they are owing to various circumstances, and more par ticularly to the habits and temporary wants of agricul ture. The harvest having been rather late, and the remunerating prices having risen during the course of the year, the majority of the farmers have not hurried themselves to thresh out their corn and bring it to market. Those who have threshed any have made use of it for seed. On the other hand, as there was a great demand for consumption, it would have required that the threshing should have taken place immediately on a large scale. The hands available were not in propor tion to the work required ; and as threshing machines are not very generally in use the result has been that the new corn has not been brought to market in suffi cient quantity. The want of water also has in many places impeded the operations of the millers. Existing facts are therefore perfectly explained ; they are only transient, and we doubt not that the abundance of the supply will shortly produce a fall in the present prices." Great manoeuvres of the three united corps d'armee of the north will take place near Calais ;- 100,000 men will be assembled. One of the manoeuvres will be the siege of Calais. In the Debats of yesterday there is an article in which a comparison is drawn between the Crimea expedition and the expedition to Algeria in 1830, in which the writer, after alluding to the unsuccess ful expeditions of the Emperor Charles V. and Charles 111. of Spain against Algiers (the latter under Count O'Reilly), and pointing out the mode in which the disasters of those 'enterprises were avoided by Marshal Bourmont and Admiral Du perre, comes to the conclusion that the large amount of steamers forming part of the present ex-. pedition gives. it an advantage as an invading fon et, which no previous expedition, even including that to Algiers, ever possessed; and he adds— " We do not compare this expedition with the immense operation which is now taking place on the coasts of the C?iinea, and against the formidable fortifications of Se ba•topol. We have only desired to point out the risks, difficulties, and chances of an'expedition of that kind. The native soldiers of Algiers had only their bravery to oppose to us ; but their ignorance in the arts of war gave us an easy conquest, which astonished Europe on account of the prestige so long connected with the name of Algiers. At the present time, French, gn g lieh, and Turks ought to expect to find on the strand a warlike and disciplined body of forces, provided with all the meaiis which modern warfare can furnish, and determined to dispute each inch of ground with resolution. And what good could be done by depreciating that enemy, 5, , d at tempting to conceal from ourselves the formidable dan gers of a landing, which is to be effected by force in presence of au army awaiting us ? Decides, the measures taken appear perfectly well conceived to insure success." [Here follows an account of the number of troops embarked, with a variety of other particu lars, which have been already published, and then goes ?n]* "There have also been put on. board 5,000 horses, vast o a o s o s ' 80 field-pie ces , 80 p i eces o f s i ege artillery,of 1 mass of artillery an d engineering tools, a Stipp charges o f gu np o wder and ball for each piece, several millions of cartridges, and two months' provisions for th 11 2 4 r ust - _ 0411 1 91 the troops I will be to construct a sort of entrenched place d'armes, . to protect the troops in the successive circumstances , of the landing, as well as the placing in store the pro visions and ammunition—a difficult operation, which will occupy several days. In fine, a part of the fleet, consisting of fifteen ships of the line, is destined to block up Sebastopol in case the Russian fleet should attempt to issue out to prevent or impede the landing. We may add, that a reserve of 40,000 and the cavalry of the ariny, 6,000 strong, are ready at Varna and Bourgas. As soon as • the army shall have consoli dat"d its point of landing, the ve , sels which are dis posable are to go and fetch this reserve, which will place the total of the army at 116,000 men. These arrange ments, most admirably calculated, and the ardour which animates the troops of the three nations, inspire us with the best hopes. Without any vain boasting, we look on this Anglo-French army as infinitely supe rior to the Russian ono in feeling and determination ; and we await with security, though not without lively impatience, the news of the great feat of arms which at the present attracts the attention of all Europe." 4 MARSEILLES, SEPTEMBER 18.—No embarkation of troops, caution, or ammunition has taken place here for some weeks past,' the transports engaged for that purpose and which formerly crowded our docks being now employed in the grand expedition to the Crimea. Every steam packet, however, which sails hence for Constanti nople takes a full freight of provisions and medical stores fOr_the army of the East. The mail steam packet Nil, which sailed on the 11th inst. for Con , stantinople, had a few first-class passengers, and among them a colonel of dragoons. The private company's steam-ship Sully, which sailed on the 14th, for the same destination, took no passengers. The Sinai, which sailed on Saturday last, was rather crowded. with passengers, civil and military, proceeding- to the Piraeus and Constantincple. The mail steam:packet Egyptus, . which arrived on ''riday last from Constantinople, brought se veral invalids, both cavalry and infantry. Their appearance is most wretched. I have seen skeleton regiments landed at Gravesend after several years' service in India; apparently not so emaciated as those poor fellows who sailed from this only a few weeks since in the full vigour of youth. Lord de Ros,: with his staff, arrived here on Saturday by the Vectis from Malta, and has pursued his journey to Paris. The mail packet Soamandre sailed on Saturday for Alexandria, having among other pagsengers Artin Bey, formerly Prime Minister of Mehemet Ali, -and Monseigneur Le Roy, Bishop of Alexan,- dria. • T General do Rost°lan reviewed yesterday the few troops composing the garrison of Marseilles. Pre vious to their defiling he presented the Cross of Officer of the Legion of Honour to M. De la Bro. quera, Chief Comthissary, a dignity conferred on him-by the Emperor as a mark of his approbation, for the efficient manner in which the supplies have been provided for and forwarded to the army of the East. The mail steam-packet Gange arrrived here this morning, bringing letters from Constantinople of the 10th ; Athens, the 12th ; and • Messina, the 15th. • The division of General Levaillant, which was encamped at Gallipoli is to be sent to Asia ; the division of General Forey remains at Varna. The Three per Centp. closed yesterday at 74f. 85c. for the end of the month ; the Four-and-a- Half,per Cents., at 98f. 75c. ; and the , New Loan, at 74f. .70c. ; Orleans Railway Shares, 1,235 f. ; Rouen, ,977 L 50c. ; Havre,. 592 f. 50c. ; Great Northern, 867 f. 50c. ; Strasburg, 820 f. ; New Shares, 652 f. 50c. ; Paris and Lyons, 995 f. ; Lyons and the Mediterranean, 870 f. ; Western of France, 672 f. 50c. ; Bordeaux and Cette, 621 f. 25c. ; Great Central of France, 521 f. 25c. ; Lyons . and Geneva, 540 f. ; Bank of Credit Mobilier, 745 f. THE SPAIN. MADRID, Sept. 18.—The Queen went yester day evening to the royal residence of the Prado. Although there have been some cases of cholera, the 6piciemy "does not make any progress. The dissolution of the Juntas of Corunni, Orense, and Lugo has been ordered for having organised a central Junta in Gallicia. The most perfect tran quillity exists. MADRID, Sept. 15.—The Consulting Junta of Valencia has dissolved itself. The Espana says that General Castaneda will be appointed captain-general of. Catalonia, in place of General Dulce, resigned. It is also stated that General Zabala wiil be appointed captain-general of Madrid, in place of General San Miguel, who will be inspector-general of the National Guards. There is great activity displayed now in arming the latter force ; several companies who were unarmed marched this morning to the barracks of San Gil, where a depot of arms has been established, and returned with arms. The Government have banished Don Julian del Valle, commander in the army, and who was at the head of the volunteers of Madrid who formed part of O'Donnell's forces to. Valladolid, for which ho left at one a.m., under custody of.a civil guard. It appears that he took a prominent part against the Government in the affair of the 28th ult.

TRIESTE, Sept. 20.—Accounts from Patras, of the 14th, state that the free communications of the Piraeus with the rest of Greece have been resumed, the cholera baying completely ceased. At Syra the disease still prevails. _ _ _ A private letter from Athens of the 12th an nounces that the Greek Government has despatched to Constantinople M. Barozzi,. late Greek Con sul at Adrianople, furnished with letters to Redschid Pasha and to the representatives of the foreign Powers. The Greek Government aekno*- ledges its many offences against the Sultan, and appeals to his generosity. It proposes to sign a treaty of commerce with the Porto as an in demnity for the debt which Greece contracted with Turkey by the late insurrection. A treaty to the' same effect was prepared some years since, and approved by the two Governments, but Ring Otho refused his sigziature. This treaty of commerce defines the boundaries of the two States, and will, consequently, force King Otho to acknowledge the existing limits Qf Turkey in a more formal manner than he has hitherto done by existing treaties. The chblera still rages with great intensity at Messina. PREVENTION OF BOILER EXPLOSIONS.—A meeting of millowners and others took place at Manchester on Tuesday evening, under the presidency of the Mayor, at which Mr. William Fairbairn, C.E., brought forward a plan for the establishment of a voluntary association such as be had suggested at the late inquest at Roch dale, to prevent boiler explosions, and the lamentable loss of life consequent upon them, by the appointment of properly qualified inspectors to watch over and test the' efficiency of all boilers and safety-valves in the works of 'members of 'the association. As a further inducement for manufacturers and other persons using steam-boilers to join the association, another object to be attained by it is the saving of fuel. A committee was established to carry out, the objects proposed 'by drawing up rules and join. THE members to THE LATE MURDER IN TIPPERARY.-- , The Lords - Justices have offered a reward of 601. to any person who shall give such information as will lead to the apprehen: sion of the person or persons concerned in the murder of Thomas Dwyer. It will be recollected that deceased was returning from the town' of Tipperary on the 2d instant, when he was attacked on the road at Garry shane, in the county of Tipperary, and from the effects of the injuries then received he died on the 9th instant. THE STABBING CASE ON tHE TYNE.—The two poor men brought out of the Ferocco on Sunday night, with frightful wouuds in the abdomen, are still in a most cri tical condition. The name of the maniac is Dominico Combing s: His brother-in-law, Antonio Coscario Comb ing, is very ill, and quite deranged. He has been attended by the Catholic priest, who has tried to soothe him. The othet%poor fellow, though the wound in his abdomen is described as of a fearful character, is calmer, and there is more prospect of his recovery. OPENING OF A NEW THREAD WORK.---On the even- ing of Frinay last the workers in the employment of Messrs. John Dick and Sons, thread manufacturers, celebrated the opening of their new factory, designated the Clyde Thread Mills, by a soiree and hall. The mill is situated immediately west of Rutherglen-bridge,.'oo the banks of the Clyde, and has been fitted up in the most handsome manner, with the newest and most approved machinery for the thread manufacture. It is built of stone, and. the various flits are of more than ordinary height, and every improvement has been introduced_ that can in any way conduce to the comfort of the work ers. Dancing commenced about twelve o'clock, and was kept up with the utmost hilarity till an early hour in the morning, when the party separated, highly de lizhted with their evening's enjoyment.:---Ndrth British Mail. LEGAL JOKES UPON INFANTS.—An application to the Court of Chancery, in a friendly suit where nobody con tested anything, to authorise trustees to advance a thousand pounds out of an estate, to • educate some in fants, cost 1031. 14s. 6d.; a similar application for.the same authority, to the same trustees, under the same will, in behalf of some other, infants, costs the same; 20 similar applications; under the same will, for similar power to the same trustees, in behalf o f 20 other in fants, or sets of infants, as their wants arise, will cost each the same.—Household Words. DIE LISSON-GROVE I'HILANTIIRQPIC INSTITUTION. The annual general meeting of the friends and supporters of this charity was held at the Portman Arms Tavern, Nevv-road. From the report it appeared that the num ber of cases visited and relieved during the past year was 44, and the total number relieved since the com mencement of the institution, was 1,385.

I : .INTELLIGENCE: CITY, TWO o'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 8,000 bales, including 1,200 American and 500 Surat taken for export and on speculation. The market was heavy, without alteration in prices. The sales comprised 6,500 American, 300 Pcrnam and Maranham at 6d. to 60., 100 Egyptian at 61d. to 61d., 1,500 Surat at '3d.. to 41d., and 50 Sea Island at Is. to 2s. ld: per 113. Railway shares were dull. The number of ships from foreign parts arrived in the Thames yesterday was 26, and from Ireland 2, besides 16 colliers. The demand for money which still exists, the best bills being done at 5 per cent., can scarcely be taken as a proof of more activity in trade, since very little is doing beyond what is required for present purposes, an almost entire absence of speculation tieing observable. Nevertheless money is in demand, and we should make this im-, portant distinction, that there is no scarcity, the bankers being amply provided with means ; con sequently, it is want of confidence that is chiefly observable: The numerous failures in the United States, with the recent stoppages at Manchester, will interfere materially with the negotiation of a certain class of bills, and indirectly act upon paper of a different character by raising the terms for dis counts- generally. Happily, our own position in the matter of food supplies is inherently sound, and there is, therefore, but little to apprehend for the country at large. A most extraordipary and unjustifiable state ment appears in the Journal de Constantinople, that the promoters of the Bank proposed to be esta blished by British and French capitalists in that city have renounced the' rights and privileges secured to them under the firman which was issued in their favour. The document inserted in the journal in question is not signed, and is pronounced by the promoterS to be a fabrication pure et simple. So far from having- renounced their privileges, they are resolved to adhere to the firman, and feel con fident' that justice will eventually be done them. There is' an opportunity of quick despatch for letters to the Ca*, of Gdod Hope, if posted before to-morrow evening. Her Majeaty's steamer Hor net takes a mail, and the charge per half ounce will be is., newspapers going free. It is probable that by way of the Cape letters would reach St. Helena also sooner than if they were fprwarded thither direct frOm England per sailing ship.

ORDER OF RUNNING. Welter Chesterfield Wilton Subscription 5.30 CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Erle.) Benjamin Sloinan, a r espectable-looking man, surren dered to take his trial for wilful and corrupt perjury. Mr. BAlantine and Mr. Parry conducted the prose cution ; Mr. Clarkson was counsel for the defence. The defendent in this action had for many years filled the position of chef carpenter at Drury-lane Theatre, and the prosecution was instituted by Madame Caradori, the prima donna during the late opera season, and Signor Pavesi, who was one of the principal singers at the establishment. It will be remembered that a Mr. Jarrett hired the theatre of Mr. Smith, the lessee, for a hun dred nights at the commencement of the season, but after the speculation had gone on for eighty-two nights it was found to be very unsuccessful, and Mr. Jarrett became insolvent. Madame Caradori, it would appear, was desirous of keeping faith with the public, and of continuing the theatre open, and an arrangement was made under which all the receipts were be used first to pay the expenses of the building, then the workmen were to be paid in full, and if any surplus remained it was to be divided among the principal artistes, who were to receive one-third of their salaries. This arrangement did not answer, and Madame Coradori announced her intention not to sing after the 19th August, and on that day the theatre was closed. It appeared that on the morning of the 19th the defendant made an affidavit that Madame Caradori and Signor Pavesi owed him 221. Ha., and that they had told him they intended to leave the country, and upon this Madame Caradori and the Signor were taken into cus tody, and were not released until they paid 301. as debt and costs. Madame Caradori and Signor Pavesi were examined, and they denied having told the defendant that they in tended to leave England, or that they owed him anything. There appeared, however, to have been a deal of confusion in the arrangements after . the retirement of Mr. Jarrett, and Signor Pavesi admitted that he had upon one occa sion expressed an intention to go to Milan. Mr. Clarkson, on behalf of the defendant, contended that there had been no corrupt or wilfully false statement made by the defendant, and that it was perfectly clear that the defendant had performed the duty of employing assistants and doing all that was required in his position. He urged that the defendant might reasonably have sup posed that Madame Caradori was the person who ought to have paid him, and although other persons might have been more to blame than he was, yet, under the circumstances, it was clear that he was only endeavour. ing to enforce what he considered to be a just claim. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Crowder.) TEE ATTEMPTED MURDER OF A POLICE CONSTABLE IN DRURT-LANE. Thomas Sheehan, 60, bootmaker, was indicted for stabbing Barnard Corry, with intent to murder. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Metcalfe prosecuted, and Mr. Ribton defended. Tho facts of this case, which have recently been very fully before the public, were but briefly gone into on this occasion. It appeared that upon the morning of the 4th of August, the daughter of the prisoner, who had been out drinking with a journeyman baker, came home to her lodgings in Drury-lane, ind she refused to let him in. She and the prisoner's wife called the police, and wished to give him in charge to the prosecutor, who is a constable, No. 121 F, but he refused to take the charge, and tried to take the prisoner's daughter into custody for assaulting him, when the prisoner rushed from his house, which is opposite, and with a shoemaker's knife stabbed the prosecutor four times, and the last time left the knife sticking in his bosom. Two of the stabs had penetrated the leather stock, and in flicted two very serious wounds in the neck, and the other in the breast was a very dangerous one, and pro : secutor was for a long time in the hospital, not expected to recover. Mr. Ribton, in a very able speech, contended that they (the jury) could not fairly convict the prisoner of having had any intent to murder, and that the safer course would be to return a verdict of unlawful wound- ing. The jury found the prisoner guilty of wounding, with intent to do grievous bodily hartn. He was sentenced to six years' penal servitude. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.)

The Irish Quarterly Review.—The first article in this dumber is on a national subject—" The En dov. ed Schools of Ireland." It suggests several alterations in their management, and especially . advocates a re-organisation of the Board of Com missioners. " The Second Era of the Historical Society of Trinity College, Dublin" relates the membership of several celebrities, among theta Moore, J. W. Croker, and Sheil. Two papers on important and comprehensive subjects are given—" Prisons and Prison Discipline," and " The Dublin Hospitals." A very interesting account of English songs and English music ad vocates the supremacy of the fine old English airs over more modern favourites, and especially la ments, what all persons of taste must regret, the nonsensical words to which much good music is joined in the present day. The " Biography of John Banim" is continued, and the number concludes with an article on the " Reformatory Schools in France and England." The History of Russia. By Alphonse Rabbe. J. Duncan, B.A. 2 vols. Ingram and Cooke. Among the numerous works which have appeared respecting Russia and its environs the greatest number will be found to refer to the present time. None have hitherto appeared which recorded the rise of the nation as a European power, the origin of the different races, and its history up to the present day. This work supplies the deficiency. It is translated from "Rabbe's History of Russia," originally published in the " French Historical Library." An introductory chapter on the origin of the R uss i ans i s con tributed by the translator.

It is a somewhat adventurous attempt to write a tragedy, and a still more daring exploit to write a tragedy in rhyme. The author appears to be con vinced of this, for he observes, in a letter to his friend Mr. Moile, the author of "Philip th e Second," that he fears that they are the only on es " to whom the fitness of such verse for such sub. jects is apparent." In his opinion, however, its superiority is proved "in marking the ter m i nat i on of lines, in distinguishing their rhythm and em. phasis, in giving principal ideas a strong reli e f, and in admitting and enforcing those elliptical and antithetical modes of expression which are con. genial to brevity of diction, to energy of thought and passion, and to the genius of our language." He further remarks that if it is less suitable for acting, in the present decadence of the drama the perusal of plays is becoming more general, and for that it is well calculated. It is, however, very ill calculated for reading aloud. Fancy such lines as the following, where the introduction of the names being out of the question the bearers would e'er. tainly be bewildered : Are not your names now noted in his book, With mine and many more, to slaughter due " ROBESPIERRE.

And names, this morning, blown as blight around. We doubt very much if the present attempt will change the general opinion on this point. Doubt-- less it has interfered with the success of the tragedy More us, which has at least the merit of a striking scene, events of universal interest, and for dramatis personce the well-known names of Robespierre, St. Just, Couthon, Tallien, and their companions. The Fall of the Crimea. By Captain Spencer. Routledge. This volume is from the pen of an author whose recent work of travels in " Turkey, Russia, the Black Sea, and Circassia," is favourably known to the public. It is not a new work, having appeared some time since under a different title, and it does not refer to the present position of affairs, being ra ther of an historical character. The following ac- count of it is from the preface :—" Having been solicited by our publishers. to write a history of the war between the Russians and the Tatars, more especially of that eventful period when Catherine 11. obtained possession of the Crimea, we found we could not do better than re-issue a work which ap peared some years ago, under the title of ' The Prophet of the Caucasus,' embodying, as it does, all the reliable information that could be obtained from the writings of contemporary historians. The work was then very favourably received by the public press, and extensively read, which, we trust, may be again its fate in its present revised, and, we hope, improved form ; it was translated into the Turkish and several European languages, and dramatised both in England and on the Continent." The author subsequently inrorms us that it was written shortly after an extensive tour in the Cri mea and Steppes of Southern Russia, some parts of which are still inhabited by scattered remnants of the Tatar race. It will be seen, from the fact of its having been dramatised, that it possesses some of the attractions of romance, an idea which will be strengthened by the frontispiece, a portrait of " lantlie," a lady whose adventures occupy a por tion of the narrative. There aro numerous other illustrations, and the volume will afford much en tertainment to the general reader. The Fossil Spirit : a Boy's Dream of Geology. By J. Mill, M.D. - Darton arid Co. This little work is published with a highly laud able motive, namely, to interest the young in the pursuit of scientific knowledge. This is especially desirable in the instance of Geology, which most young people look on as hope lessly dry and unattractive. The present work hardly attempts to teach the rudiments, its great object being to awaken curiosity, and a desire for further study in the reader's mind. In this it is successful ; for certainly the account given of some of the wonderful discoveries recently made, and the skilful introduction of a study always rn9re interesting to boys, that of Natural History, will be likely to lead to a further pursuit of so wonderful a science. A vocabulary of the geological terms is introduced at the conclusion, and the pupil is recommended to study the works of Professor Ansted, which are now easily obtained in " Orr's Circle of the Sciences." Those who wish to excite au interest in the mind of the student will find this little work a valu able assistant in attaining this great object, which is often the chief difficulty in the way of the instructor. Tours in Ulster. By J. B. Doyle. Hodges and. Smith, Dublin. This little volume professes to be " a hand-book to the Antiquities and Scenery of the North of Ireland." It does not, however, occupy itself so much with the description of the highways gene rally travers e d as w i t h less known parts of the country, its object being to direct attention to localities of scenic and historic interes t not usually visited by tourists. It give s a sufficiently pleasing acceount to tt manyc to visit the spots, but its greatest aw hichr ti)n lies in its numerous illustrations, . which are very striking.
