SPORTING NOTES. NEWCASTLE AND HAMPTON. is tetropolitan turfites and speculators will scarcely care New castle-upon -Tyre the fatigue and expense of a long journey to ew eastle-upon-Tyne to assist at the celebration of sport, clviever interesting and attractive, when they hav e so In w ell)! a little meeting prepared for them as that whi ch diall take pl ace a t H a mpton on Wednesday and Thurs o Still, I shall not attempt to institute odious corn r''''lsons between the two programmes ; for indeed each t, i thet iog possesses peculiar and distinct characteristics, ; Plesents sp e cial titles to the support of owners and mlers of horses. The meeting at Newcastle will corn eLnee to-morrow with a supply of sport which, if it be hp ° ." above the average, is certainly not belo w it. ire events are appointed for decision. Of these la ; Trial St a k es c l ose d on Saturday, and the Nor th Stakes remain open until to - n i g ht. The D er b y is the first item on paper th at demands reskleration. Scott's " lot" looks formida ble enou g h l r it, but it is doubtful which animal belonging to his table w i ll represent it. N o twithstanding the potency f th e " WIZARD OF THE NORTH," I shall select Neville r a ti, 3' champion. Aribbas figures among the nomina ut the probabilities are at present in fa vour of : ueing reserved to do battle for the Northumber l a nd , p i t. Of the 26 horses handicapped for the Members plate Lough Bawn, The General, and St. Clare are, in Amoni entitled to the priority of consideration. c g the nominations for the Tyro Stakes is Saraband, lt,:Yjmngster" with whose merit report is already bus. L uas been, too, repeatedly backed for next year's 11 ; 1. °Y. Whether, however, he is intended to give us a d e r of his quality to-morrow, I am not in a position to re ermine, Come what may, therefore, I shall record l qi:` fancy" for Lord Alfred, despite his 21b. penalty. ~.e Northumberland Plate is of course the leaning 4, 4 ''',,en Wednesday's list. Since his running at Bath, eueas bas been steadily supported for this event ; but oil , Possibility is rumoured of his having his nose put of joint by his stable companion, Grapeshot. The V o rmance of the latter, indeed, for the Ascot Stakes 1 ) 4 41 elliated to excite some expectations of his chan ce, t heselt.4_ are somewhat counteracted by the report which 71 ail that he was tried with Aribbas before the B ath ‘ ,"'ng, and tl.at the result was unmistakeably in favour ""e young one. That Kingston is entitled to the 4 PPort which he at present receives for this race argu eets are sc arce ly required to prove. Still, the fact of his 6e r ing to meet Grapeshot on worse terms, so far as weight Thconcerned, than be did at Ascot, must not be overlooked. e Mining of Aribbas with Rataplan at Bath, and the jforrnance of Grapeshot at Ascot have certainly fur ilt(7bed J o h n O s b orne w i t h no or di nar y " line" by which measure Kingston's chance, and it has doubtless given s ound reasons for his confidence. Whichever ani ie'" is the trusted representative of his stable will doubt -4.11 B be among the first three at the finish of the race. these considerations have not destroyed my corifi f:ee in Kingston, who is too sound and game a horse DVS 111 efi3O, under ancirumstances, to think slightingly of ance. A vague r rumour is afloat respecting Indian who, it is hinted, may yet do battle for the Kin gston party. He is certainly weighted favourably, eo' Should this report be founded on truth, I shall be Ij c pelled t o t rans f er m y g ood liking from Kingston to B lan Wa rr i or . Of all the light weights, however, d ean appears to me to present the fairest title to r e ,,,'" ( , ) rL. His ability to get a distance, however , yet lii 4 ,•ina to be satisfactorily proved. To extend my re 11.71sKs to th e o th er an i ma l s would merely occupy space r e : e cessarily. " lot" which I shall select against 0 7 a field comprises KINGSTON, BAALBEC, and the BEST For Oseonnes—either Aribbas or Grapeshot. th e or the G ran d St an d Stakes Lord Alfred and Eva are e Meat n o t ewor thy n am e s.

CORN EXCHANGE. The supplies of wheat on sale in most of the country markets hold on Saturday were very moderate. The de mand ruled steady, and in some instances, prices advanced from is. to 2s. per qr. In barley and malt very little bu siness was transacted, but oats had an upward tendency. Beans, peas, a nd flour, sold at full quotations. Most of the Continental markets have been very firm. In France, both wheat and flour have been on the advance, and a steady rise has taken place in the quotations at New York. Up to our market last week the receipts of English grain were moderate. From abroad we received 17,244 quarters of wheat, 1,880 barley, 10,289 oats, 117 beans, 39 peas, 112 tares, 5,752 linseed, 11 rapeseed, 688 sundry seeds, 6,037 sacks and 10,787 barrels 6f flour. The quantities of English wheat received fresh up to our market to-day coastwise from Essex and Kent was very limited. By land carriage the arrivals were trifling ; however, the show of samples of both red and white was smaller than for some time past. However, the demand for all descriptions, owing to the steady imports of foreign wheat and flour, and the prevailing fine weather for the growing crops, was in a sluggish state. In the quotations, scarcely any change took place from Monday last. There were very few inquiries for forward delivery parcels. With foreign wheat we were well supplied. Good heavy Baltic parcels sold to a fair extent, at full prices. Most other kinds met a dull inquiry, but we have no actual change to notice in the currencies. The few floating cargoes of the coast were held for more money, but the business doing in them was trifling. About 30 vessels laden with grain have been reported off Falmouth during the past week. Barley, the supply of which was but moderate, moved off slowly, at last week's currency. There was a slight improvement in the inquiry for malt, at full prices. Oats, the show of which was moderately good, were in fair request, and the turn higher than on this day sen'night. Beans were in short supply, and heavy request, on former terms. The demand for peas was heavy, at late later. We had a moderate inquiry for flour, the prices of which were well supported. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

All breeds were dull and lower. The receipts of bee sts from our own grazing districts, as well as from Scotland, were seasonably good, but their general weight and condition showed a slight falling off compared with Monday last. Although the attendance of both town and country buyers was rather extensive, the beef trade was in a sluggish state, at Friday's decline in the quota tions of 2d per 81bs. A very few superior Scots realised 4s 10d, but the general top figure for beef was 4s 8d per 81bs. The receipts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeshire amounted to 2,300 Scots and short-horns ; from other parts of England, 600 of variou s breeds ; and from Scotland, 500 horned and polled Scots. There was a decided increase in the supply of sheep. The mutton trade was therefore inactive, at the depression in vain submitted to on Friday—viz., 2d per 8113 s. The best old Downs realised 4s 10d per 81bs. We were well supplied with lambs, all breeds of which met a dull inquiry, at 2d per 81bs beneath the prices cur rent on Monday last. The supply of calves being large, the veal trade was heavy, at 4d per Sibs beneath the currencies obtained on this day se'nnight.

These, I we cannot but think most reprehensible passages, relate to incidents associated—the one with the Countess of Chaumont, the other with the Countess of Wolverton. A couple of very noble Countesses truly ! Without entering into the horrid details of the criminality here imagined and delineated— a passing word may be tolerated as sufficiently ex planatory to justify the sternness of our recent phrases of condemnation. The Countess of Chau mont to whom Julian Calder imagines himself to have been married, is depicted in the amiable guise of a bigamist, perfectly aware of the existence of her first husband—so that her two children by Julian are, as a natural consequence, illegi timate. The other incident referred to is of a nature still more deplorable —it describes the Countess of Wolverton running away with Captain Evelyn Staunton, at the very time she makes her adulterOus elopement with him, know ing him to be the husband of her own daughter, and the father of her two grandchildren. Now, imaginary occurrences like these, we regard as absolutely revolting—and as such we speak of them here (for greater emphasis let us repeat what we have observed already) in language of the most severe and unqualified reprehension. It is dis tressing also to find in an earlier chapter of " Bo kinga"the following harsh, and even (considering the delicate and dependent condition of the class) cruel caricature of THE WAR. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The Vulcan, the Tonning, and the Kangaroo steam troop-ships are ordered to embark infantry and cavalry, the latter to supply the loss of those who, went out in the Europa, on or about Saturday next, at Portsmouth, for the seat of war in the East. The Medina steam-packet left Portsmouth on Satur day afternoon for the Black Sea, with mails for the fleet, and entered Plymouth Sound yesterday morning. Her Majesty's brig Mariner, Captain Johnson, went from Hainoaze into Plymouth Sound, and was paid ad vance of wages there on Saturday. She will probably sail to-day for the white Sea. The Calcutta, 84, Captain Stopford, having been rigged, was warped to ,the hulk Vigo, at Plymouth, on Saturday, to receive her crew. The crew of the frigate Indefatigable, SO, Captain Hope, at Plymouth, got tops and lower rigging over the mast-heads on Friday. The Hornet, screw steam-sloop, Commander Frederick A. Campbell, has completed her crew in every respect, and more men offered their services for her, owing to the popularity of her commander, than were required for her full complement. She will be out of the hands of the dockyard authorities on Thursday, the 29th inst., and is expected to join the fleet in the Baltic. The slip from which the Royal Albert, 131, screw steam-ship, was recently launched at Woolwich Dock yard, having been completely cleared out, an order has been received to commence immediately the laying down of another screw steam-vessel, to be named the Scout, and to be about 1,500 tons burden, on similar lines, and to carry the same number of guns of large calibre as the Pearl, 20, screw steam - corvette , bu il di n g on the ad joining slip. An inquiry has been instituted by an Admiralty order into the complaint made by the crew of the Star, 16, Commander C. W. Warren. Vice-Admiral the Hon. Jocelyn Percy, Commander-in-Chief at Sheerness, has been engaged for two days past in this case. The re sult the ship's companyat ip yommander Warren has been reprimanded , and the ship's company likewise, by the Admiral. On being informed that their old com mander was to proceed to sea after she was refitted, some of the seamen declared theywould rather lose their wages for the last commission than subject themselves to the treatment they have before experienced at his hands, and they complain that they have not been paid any wages since their return home , as in the case of the Waterwitch. Three of the crew have already miunage4 to run away. The undermentioned officers passed the quarterly examination in steam at the Royal Naval College, Ports mouth, and received certificates on Saturday : Commanders D. Miller and F. H. Shortt ; Messrs. W. H. Liddell, H. B. Phillimore, J. A. Poland, and W. F. Lee (mates, R.N.), and Second Lieutenant R. Woollcombe, Royal Marines. The following appointments have been made : Lieutenant Lawrence Dennehy (1824), serving in a contract steam-vessel, to be agent for transports. Master James Bowler (1842), recently serving in the Hercules Government emigrant-ship, to the Colossus, 80, screw steam-ship at Portsmouth. Second Master Martin Roberts (1844), from the Coast guard, to the Volcano, now converted into a floating factory at Woolwich, for service with the fleet under the command of Sir Charles Napier in the Baltic. Captain-Superintendent Christopher Wyvill left Sheer ness for Chatham-yard, on service, yesterday morning in the Wildfire, immediately on the information being tele graphed of the fire having taken place there. Captain-Superintendent John J. Fricker arrived at Sheerness on Saturday, and commenced his duties as Captain-Superintendent. He also went to Chatham yesterday morning in the Wildfire. The damage which theTynemouth screw transport sus tained by being in collision with the Galeed, of Salcombe, has been made good, and her losses replaced by the Sheer ness dockyard authorities. At 7 30 p.m. on Saturday, the Adder steam-vessel was sent alongside to assist her to sea, when an order was sent from Captain Lord Frede rick A. Kerr, in command of the flag-ship Waterloo, directing her commander not to proceed to sea until fur ther orders, as a messenger had arrived from Dept ford with orders for her to await the arrival of the steam vessel Widgeon, with the victualling lighter Wight, both laden with oats, iu puncheons weighing about 6001b5., for troop forage for Constantinople, The Widgeon and Wight arrived at Sheerness at 1 a.m. yesterday from Deptford, and transhipped on board the Tynemouth 50' puncheons of oats. At 1 p.m. she wag taken in tow by them for the Downs. The Adder left her at the Mouse at 330 p.m. The Widgeon would assist her through the Downs. This ship during her short stay at Sheer ness has been an object of great interest to naval and military officers, to the former for her superior and most efficient build as a troop transport, to the latter for the unprecedented accommodation for troops. She is calcu lated to carry with every convenience 1,000 men, with their provisions, camp equipage, &c., and in addition thereto 1,000 tons of cargo under the troop-deck. She has an auxiliary steam power of two engines of 40-horse power each (nominal), the two being capable of working up to from 80 to 200-horse power, and thereby pro pelling the ship, should she get becalmed, at the rate of seven knots per hour. Her engines were constructed and set up by Hawthorn, Brothers, of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and the ship was built by Niessrs. Cools and Parkinson, of the same place. The following officers go out in her in charge of the ambulance corps :—Captain John James Grant, in corn inand ; Captain John P. Pigot, Adjutant William Henry, Staff-assistant-surgeon Peter Nevill Jackson, and Mr. R. 13. Nicklin, Photographer to her Majesty's army in the East. The Tynemouth set on her steam power at the Nore, and passed the Mouse lighvessel at 3.30 p.m. Her screw has 11 feet dip and 14 feet pitch, the average revolutions being 65 to 70 per minute. The Rhadamanthus, paddlewheel steam storeship, Mater-Commander John Belem, left Woolwich at half past 5 o'clock p.m. on. Saturday for Portsmouth, with the engines of the Harrier, screw steam-sloop, fitting at that port. The Kate, hired for the purpose of conveying the guns of large calibre cast by Messrs. Walker and Co., of the Lowmoor Company, for the Sultan, having com pleted taking on board the number of tons she had con tracted for, has left Woolwich with the guns for Con stantinople. Sergeant-Major John Gilles, of the Repository De partment at Woolwich, who had his services verified on Friday by a board of field officers, previous to his being pensioned on being discharged from the service, is the last of those who served in the ranks of the Royal Artillery at the battle of Waterloo. John Gilles enlisted iu the Royal Regiment of Artillery in 1803, and conse quently has been on active service for the long period of 40 years. Captain Irving's company, 12th battalion, arrived in Woolwich garrison at 5 p.m. on Saturday from Shoe buryness, and are expected to embark, with a number of siege guns and about 100 horses, in a few days for the seat of war in the East. The arrangements for the embarkation of horses at Woolwich for the seat of war in the East have been so satisfactorily made that the horses reached their desti nation, according to the returns up to the present time, with a loss of only 4 per cent. Upwards of 1,000 trusses of hay were inspected on Friday at Deptford previ ous to being put on board store steam-vessels for convey ance to Malta and Turkey. 1 sergeant, 1 corporal, and 20 privates, for the Colos sus, 80, screw steam-ship, and 20 privates, volunteers from the 'Woolwich division of Royal Marines for the Royal Marine Artillery, are to leave Woolwich this morning for Portsmouth, in charge of Captain Harrison, who is posted to the Impdrieuse, 50, screw steam-frigate, serving with the Baltic fleet, in the room of Brevet- Major Stransham, promoted to be Lieutenant-Colonel. Captain Harrison will take a passage to the Baltic in one of the vessels under orders for that sea after deliver ing his charge of non-commissioned officers and men to their respective destinations. The first division of the 27th (Enniskillen) Regiment left the Royal barracks, Dublin, on Friday, for Cork, cohere they are to embark for Calcutta on the 29th and 30th inst. The detachment consisted of' ono field officer, five captains, eight subalterns, two staff, 20 sergeants, 25 corporals, two drummers, and 352 privates, who were conveyed to their destination by a special train, which started from the King'sbridge terminus at 9 a.m. Previous to marching off, the arms, accoutrements, and ammunition were, as usual, inspected by the officer commanding the division, and ascertained to be in corn- P lete order ; each sold ier was in p ossession of 60 rounds of service ammunition and 72 percussion caps. The re maining division left on Saturday morning at the came hour. The regiment will be conveyed to India by the troop-ships Barham, Soubetar, Southampton, and Char lotte. This regiment is greatly under its establishment, in consequence of the number of volunteers given by it to the regiments now serving in Turkey. It will go out 700 strong, including non - commissioned officers, drum• mers, and rank and file. . On Saturday afternoon the 3d division of the 80th Regiment arrived at Chatham garrison from Indite er,wi consisting of 6 sergeants and 145 rank and file, with 7 t . women D and upe r iBchildren,t h Lieutenant Crawford, Lieutenant Mortimer, and As sistant-Surgeon Laine. The troops disembarked the same day at Gravesend from the ship Lord Dalhousie, Sullivan, 912 tons burden, Captain Ferris. They left Calcutta on the 17th of February, and on the 24th of a M nc lity sai t l he ship put in at St. Helena, and took water,_ ed for the Thames on the 25th. fly, a corporals wife, died vats Lamb, and Mrs. Cono CorporalD,lackall, pri a7rters of the regiment, on the passage.

I hope, when there is a brary, that there will be a good room attached to it, so that subscribers can meet and benefit by lectures. Mr. Houghton will be instructed by me to pay 5/., and more if necessary. I have been giving the Russians a little taste of our shot and shell ; but we did not, I hope, da• wage private property, or even neutral ships, as our good Queen recommended such should not be molested.

Young or old, male or female, girl or stripling, the writer of this eccentric fiction has the advantage, at any rate, of being altogether unhackueyed in authorcraft. The nar rative possesses, indeed, a veritable claim to its title being Novel, beyond all doubt, in the majority of particulars. Morton Rae we recognise at once as a nom de plume. CG Bokinga" we accept at once as a volume penned in undisguised defiance of all the root-laws of what certain critics de light in designating the sthetics of literature. It has already secured to itself the glory of a " second edition," and would for that reason, if for no other, be entitled to, at least, some cur sory examination. Turning over the twenty-eight chapters in which the story is told, it would be difficult for even the most desultory reader not to perceive through whatever faults of style may be apparent to the more discerning or the more fasti dious, that the writer evinces considerable inge nuity in the arrangement of the plot, or, to speak differently, in the entanglement or involution of the incidents therein described in rapid succession ; and with this, moreover, no inconsiderable or incommendable skill in the delineation of the va rious characters introduced. Whatever may per chance be theother peculiarities in the phreno logical development of the author of " Bo kinga," it might be readily conjectured that conspicuous among the intellectual organs of Mor ton Rae would be found on inquiry those exceed ingly useful organs to the romancist, the organs of constructiveness. However this may be, the tale here told has the double merit already mentioned, the twofold advantage of novelty in plot and in character. Together with these twin attractions, however, it has the pervading blemish of exaggera tion. Its style is distorted by over-intensity. Beyond which, moreover, the language in which the book is written is in a great part matter of uncertainty. It cannot be doubted for a moment that it was in French Beckford originally wrote his oriental romance of " Vathek," any more than that it was in English Goldsmith wrote his domestic story of the " Vicar of Wakefield." But here and there it is difficult to discover, from these pages, to which language the reader is most indebted for the charm of Mor ton Rae's descriptions. Throughout the book the different illustrations scattered among the letter press are accompanied by a word or two in the graceful tongue of our Gallic neighbours by way, we presume, of more elegant explanation. As thus—"L'ame s'envole," or again "Le Printemps," or yet again " Les Confidences." While repeatedly, in the text itself, the ear is soothed by the melody of the same mellifluous accents, as where we are told that the children had only " tea and tar tines," that some gentleman was "a faineant of sixty," or that some lady was the " belle of the creme de la creme," or that the votaries of fashion were candidates for "admission into its vie de daces." However, turning to the story itself, and not to the mere manner of its narration. Bokinga is the name not of a person, but of an ' estate—the estate of one Sir Anthony Fielding. The scene opens, at the first chapter, in the boudoir of the Countess of Wolverton. The master of Bokinga is there received with the cordiality due to the Mich old cousin of the Earl and Countess. Especially due to him, seeing that Sir Anthony is not merely aged and wealthy, but also childless— being actually, at the time when the novel com mences, in search of an heir to his enormous posses sions. Leigh Hunt years ago described George IV. as " an Adonis of sixty," on a memorable occasion in 'the columns of the Examiner. Morton Rae significantly depicts Lady Wolverton as a " Venus of forty-five." She is worse, wonderfully worse, than an ordinary lady of fashion, or woman of the world, or managing mamma, being vain, heartless, selfish, and hating her children beyond all known precedent, and, let us hope, beyond all discoverable experience. Her children are four—Lord Calder, heir to the earldom, Julian, his younger brother, the beautiful Lady Marion, and the plain, or rather (her mother thinks) ugly Lady Christina. Chris tina, by reason of her uncomely features, becomes despised and neglected—her mother greeting her with the exclamation, " Oh, mon Dieu qu'elle eat laide, cette affreuse Christine." Julian for the same reason is either contemned or over looked. Lord Calder, on the contrary, leads " a life of perfect dolce far niente"—a favourite because of his handsome countenance. Lady Marion, like wise, being distinguished for her loveliness, is petted to an extravagance. The Earl, the father of these four incongruous personages, from first to last appears a mere nonentity—introduced but as a dull specimen of the aristocracy. Around the for tunes of his children are grouped the other charac ters of the narrative. Scarcely anything is seen of Lord Calder—that is to say, at least, comparatively. Julian is sent abroad as an attaché, and while still abroad dies, having previously married the Countess of Chaumont. Marion elopes with Captain Evelyn Staunton, and, dying some years after wards, leaves him a widower not altogether inconsolable. Christina, plain, reserved, and re pulsive, is adopted by Sir Anthony Fielding as heiress to his estates, and on his demise succeeds to them at once, and immediately takes possession. Christina continues to live throughout the story at Bokinga, in sad and unbroken spinsterhood. Here is the description of Bokinga as it appeared when its master was Sir Anthony : " The avenue leading to this deserted mansion was grown over with grass, in the flower garden roses and chickweed, jasmine and nightshade grew together in happy confusion, the placid lake which was once the glory of the park was now choked up with dirt and filth, and emitted stagnant odours. All was devastation, all was desolate. It seemed as though years must have elapsed since the foot of man had trodden this wilderness. Here is the mention made of it afterwards when its mistress was the Lady Christina : "The grounds were laid out anew, flowers bloomed in rich profusion in the gardens, the hot houses teemed with the rarest exotics, the pellucid lake again became the pride of Bokinga. Beauty and happiness seemed once more about to reign ove r that desolate spot, yet he who had been its inmate had lived alone ; she who was to be its inmate was alone. But how different had been the nature of those two beings. He cared not so that he trod life's dull round un-noticed—forgotten. She, haughty and ambitious, paused as she wandered through the grounds, musing how she should array her name in glory, chiefly regretting that—weak woman as she was, there were but few paths open to her high ambition." As the principal figure on the canvas, the owner of the estate the name of which has given its title to the narrative, commands the chief attention of the reader, and at the very outset of the novel is thus curiously depicted :-- "Christina Calder was plain—no that is scarcely the word for her. Plain savours too much of insignificance ; the most soulless features are plain, but there never yet was an ugly face on which might not be traced a passion. Separately, each of Christina's features were well formed, her finely chiselled nose a sculptor might have taken for a model, her flashing, speaking eyes were brilliant, the haughty curl of her lip alone showed the impetuosity of her character, but there was a repelling, harsh je ne sail quoi about her whole countenance that was un pleasing. Pride—determination of purpose—was the prominent expression there. As she shook back her dark raven hair she was a fit subject for a painter's re presentation of midnight, not as it softly smiles in the sunny lands of the sweet south, but in the murky Boeotian atmosphere of northern climes, when black ponderous clouds announce the coming storm. There was no melody in her voce; it was marked with autho rity as that of Hecate when summoning her subjects to attend her nocturnal court." On taking possession of her noble park and her fine old mansion, the mistress of Bokinga is described as (somewhat consoled by her abun dant wealth for her lack of beauty) gazing on the deserted grounds and rambling buildings, and, as she does so, murmuring to herself mein ein—adds the footnote, " the memorable words engraved on the goblet of Charlemagne." During the progress of the narrative, considerable uncertainty is created in the mind of the reader by the coincidence that both Marion Calder and Julian Calder, before dying, leave behind them—each—two children. Christina suddenly introduces to the notice of the wondering gossips near Bokinga—the babblers and scandalmongers of the village of Thornton—a little girl and a little boy, whom she has brought back with her after a brief and hurried journey to the continent. For a long while it almost appears that these mysterious orphans are the offspring of the Lady of Bokinga's sister—the wife of Evelyn Staunton. Ultimately it proves, however, that they are the children of Julian, the favourite brother of Christina. Their names, Shaftoe and Mildred Calder—the latter variously mentioned as the story goes onward, as " Little Millie," or as "La Princesse. Under the sobriquet of "La Princesse," the picture of Mildred Calder appears in the volur ae as its frontispiece. Follow ing up the main thread of the plot through all its sinuous windings and bewildering entanglements, we come at length to the information of the where abouts and identity of the children of Marion and Evelyn Staunton _only, however, in time enough to see the boy expire, and to find his sister, Marie Dubois, taken to Paris u dner one Allen Willmott's protection. Without continuing to trace out still further the course of the tale, and the sequence of the incidents subsequently described, it must here be especially mentioned LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST RAILWAY.— that in connection with the two marriages already Traffic return for the week ending June 17, 214,852 2 6 par ti cu larised, the marr ia g e of Marion with Cap passages in this 1854 tam Staunton a nd the marriage of Julian with the Corresponding week last year 13,622 4 4 Total of the half-year to this date , 1854 280,446 2 1 Countess of Chaumont, th ere are Total of the hail-year to_this date, 1803 20,133 13 7 novel of Bolcioga" which demand from ug our Lead Min. & Srael 1 Port Philip all Quartz Rock all Rhymney Iron 15 Do.

" Reader ! close your eyes and picture to yourself a governess. Miss Aughton was an average specimen of the genus, cringing, obsequious, even servile to her suoeriors of her own sex ; they never dreams th a t s h e had a thought beyond her duty as a teacher, nor that s he entertained a wish not bounded by the school-room walls—a feeling to which the well-thumbed grammars (lid not warmly respond. . . . Was there ever yet indeed a house that sheltered a governess beneath its roof, that was not a scene of endless bickerings and strife, of mischief-making and of punishments incessant and innumerable ?" These scornful strictures are penned, by the way, in reference to one Miss Selina Aughton, the governess of Mildred "La Princesse." Besides the characters already enumerated, there are several others not unworthy of mention as among the more conspicuous of the fictitious personages introduced —such, for example, as the aspiring Florence Fox land, or as the gentle Ilda Lohmann. Enough is visible, however, through all the blurrs, and flaws, and blemishes of " Bokinga," to assure the candid reader that Morton Rae possesses ability as a deli neator of original 'character, and, with this capa city, no ordinary gift of constructiveness. TEE BAMBERG BUBBLE. To the Austrian Note, which left Vienna on the 4th inst., no answer has as yet been received, and as that note must have reached St. Petersburg on the 10th, we might have learnt by telegraph, at latest, on the 15th or 16th, the news of its rejec tion, had Russia peremptorily refused to comply with the intimation to evacuate the Principalities forwarded from the Austrian Cabinet. It was not probable, however, as we stated, that the Czar would act hastily in this matter. On the contrary, ho would naturally avail himself of every delay which might improve either his military or diplomatic position, by giving further time for the operations of his arms against the Turks, or of his intrigues in Central Europe. Of the activity of these intrigues the conferences of Bamberg have furnished a notable example. There Russian influence has reigned paramount, and the lesser States of Germany have been in duced to adopt a line of policy perilous, if not sui cidal. These small potentates, who in 1848 barely escaped annihilation have so far forgotten the ex cessive terror with which they regarded the events of that period as to dare to act in direct opposition to the will of their people. If there be among the p - opulation of Germany one feeling more predominant than another, it is hatred of, Russian patronage, and of Russian encroach ment. Notwithstanding this, M. Von der Fiord ten, the Minister for Foreign Affaira of Bavaria, a statesman of more ambition than discretion, ori ginated the proposal for these conferences of Bam berg, which was warmly supported by M. do Beust, the Minister for the Foreign Affairs of Saxony. As our readers are aware, those conferences met to de termine on the course to be pursued at the Diet when the two great Powers should submit the Austro-Prussian convention to the approval of the Germanic Confederation, of which these small states, collectively, form an important part. The result was that a memorandum, drawn up osten sibly by M. Von der Pfordten, but, as we believe, really by the Cabinet of St. Petersburg, was adopted by the Conference of Bamberg, which took upon itself to judge of the whole Eastern question, and to decide upon it in detail. Of the dogmatical, absurd, and Russian deci sions of the Conference the three most mischievous are—First that is the duty of the States of Chris tendom collectively to force the Sultan to give gua rantees for the due government of his Christian subjects, and for the maintenance of their pri vileges • that is, that all Europe should join Rus- ' sia in ;he mischief she attempts, and, instead of resisting her, should aid in the overthrow of the Ottoman Empire. Secondly, that in the event of the evacuation of the Danubian Principalities by the Russian armies, the combined fleets should at once quit the Euxine—thus virtually acknowledg ing that that important and open sea is a Russian lake, which the rest of Europe has no right to pe netrate. And, thirdly, that when peace sball happily be brought about, the old treaties between Russia and the Porte shall be renewed. This is beyond everything out of the question. The Western Powers would be as little disposed to listen for an instant to such a proposal as the Turkish Government itself. This memorandum, though it appears an act of mere foolishness, would, if acted upon in the Ger man Diet, be productive of the greatest mischief. That this, however, will not be brought about, we believe we may safely assure our readers, for, un less we are much mistaken, Austria and Prussia will submit their convention individually and in succession to the States of Germany, soliciting their adhesion one by one, and they will refuse to sub mit the matter to the Diet, as they do not choose to consider it a matter for federal action. The ill-advised enterprise on behalf of Russia has thus already failed, and several States, we have reason to know, have, since the Conference, with drawn from its connection and its consequences ; whilst such energetic remonstrances have been addressed to the courts of Saxony and Bavaria, that the acts of the authors of the memorandum of Bamberg will be effectually disavowed ' - and we shall not be surprised to see Id. Von der Pfordten shortly quit the responsibilities and temptations of office. Of the absurd points of the memorandum of the Conference of Bamberg, the most ridiculous, without exception, was that w hich—inserted, no doubt, to hide the Russian origin of the other proposals—pro vided for the maintenance not merely of the Greek kingdom, but of the Bavarian dynasty, under the guarantee of Germany. The wise men of Bamberg, without a fleet or even a bowl to go to sea in, dreamt of guaranteeing the Crown of a maritime State, even, we suppose, from the attacks of the combined navies of England and France, to which powers un grateful Bavaria should have remembered that, but eighteen months ago, her royal family was indebted for the confirmation of their succession in Greece. So short a time ago, Russia, at the Conference of London, used every effort to procure the settlement of the Greek Crown on the house of Oldenburg, and Bavaria owed the defeat of this project solely to the united resolution of the Western Powers whom_ she has ventured to outrage. Such tricks as these are not to be played with impunity. These small States cannot afford to lose the protection of the great Powers. Whilst they try the forbearance of their subjects to the utmost, hlnd: these they are provok in g revolution on theone sup p r ession on the other ; a nd between dan gers the little Crowns and Coronets of Germany w ill certainly arrive at sp eed y destruction if they do not completely change their plans, and act in unison with their greater neighbours, pursuing the cou rse pointed out by re ason and justice, and indicated by the loud and resolved voice of Public Opinion. —Morning Post. MEDICAL BENEVOLENT COLLEGE.—The President, the Earl Manvers, and the council of this institution paid their first visit of inspection of the college building at Epsom, on Frilay last, and were highly gratified with the character of the work done, also with the great pro- gress made by the contractor towards the completion of the entire building. The next official visit of the council is to be on the Ist of Au, , ;•ust next, by which time the building will be roofed and the dining -hall in a state of forwardness, to enable the council to partake of refresh. ,cents in it. It is confidently expected that this valuaY institution will be opened under royal patronage, on the 25th June, 1855, for the reception of those who may be considered by the governors deserving of the benefits it is intended to confer.
