It is rather an odd coincidence that whenever Mr. GLADSTONE is going to bring on some more than unusually important Budget, he is sure to be found labouring under some most inopportune little bodily ailment. Once, not so long ago— don't we all very well recollect it P—the Great Rhetorician was announced to be suffering under such a loss of voice that the Budget, for which the night had been duly fixed, had to be postponed for a week or so, in order that the larynx, the uvula or some other part of the Orator's throat might become sufficiently strengthened. It was like some great tenor—a MAitio, a TAMBERLIK, or a SIMS REEVES-pre- paring for some very great performance. The even ing came on at last, the interesting invhlid duly ap peared at footlights—We should have said, at the table of the House of Commons. The immemorial orange sucked in the interval of any lengthened speech in the House of Commons, was inadequate for once in that notable emergency. Mr. GLAD STONE appealed visibly to the sympathy of his audience, by pulling out a wonderful little bottle containing some mysterious lubricant for the right hon. gentleman's swallow, to be sipped occasionally at intervals during his discourse. It was very generally understood, moreover, that the phy aician who had for several days been in attendance upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer was there, within easy reach of him, under the Speaker's gal lery if we recollect rightly, hard by the swinging glass doors, immediately fronting the chair—that the physician was there in attendance upon Mr. GLADSTONE to the last. What this phi sician could possibly have done for Mr. GLADSTONE under the circumstances we don't know—supposing, that is to say, that during the course of the Budget speech there should have appeared to be any reason at all for ap pealing to the M.D. for his instant assistance. Whether the right hon.gentleman's throat would have had to be touched up in any way in the presence of a breathlessly interested and expectant house we can not now even conjecture. There was the possibility however—and there was understood also to be the physician. The result, a crowded Huse witnessed (it will be remembered) at the time wi th a good deal of surprize, and also it should be said with a good deal of admiration. Mr. GLADSTONE, the valitu dinarian Chancellor of the Exchequer, who affected to be so squeamishly solicitous about his voice, spoke, as the 'Yankees would say, four hours "on end," as SAM SLICK might have phrased it, "one streak of talk," with the same musical, ringing, vibrating, reverberant, sonorous voice as the one for which he has, among other great natural gifts, been so long remarkable. As well might a boatswain, while audibly hailing the maintop in a gale of wind, have pretended to appeal to our Sympathies in regard to some doubt as to the state of his voice ! And now—with another eagerly looked for Budget fast coming on—with Ministers well known to be in a small minority—with the Opposition well known to "mean mischief," if they can only find the opportunity—our personal sympathies are appealed to, in Mr. GLADSTONE'S behalf, by a pathetic announcement that the right hon. gentle men has recently received a slight scratch or bruise upon his face, "somewhere," as the gebemouche who pens the touching paragraph in the Great Government Organ (among other papers delicately expresses it, " somewhere in the region of the nose." These odd little coin cidences almost give one the notion—we don't that they do, but we venture to hint that they almost do--gills one the notion of preconcerted and elaborately arranged attempts to get up a sort of Sensation Budget display on the part of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr. GLAD STONE, under these arrangements—under the influence of these coincidences, that is to say —comes forward to deliver his Budget Speech under so very interestin g an aspect personally ! Our sympathies are appealed to, surely not in vain? Our favourable consideration is most opportunely pro pitieed. Mr. GLADSTONE corms down to the Howe for his five hours' annual diqolay—now wie:li hi:, phial and his physician, now with his slipper and his diacolon plaister. Our hearts are not stone. We have sensibilities of feeling that cannot idly be trifled with thus. It is as if the Elder PITT were again hurling his ora torical thunderbolts with an arm swathed in flannel, his bandaged foot on a leg rest, his counten ance expressive of past and almost of present suffer ing. In Mr. GLADSTONE'S instance we should not ba tempted to allude to the circumstance here com mented upon, but for the coincidence of time coupled with the announcement in the very mention of the accident by the great Government organ (not " Jupi ter junior," as the Saturday Review facetiously dubs one of its c ontemporaries but Jupiter Opt. Max.)—lt is expressly intimated that it is a casualty in no way of a serious character. In other words, it is a trivial circumstance in itself. But, if so, why make any m ention of it at all ? Why ?—Why, the B adget night is coming on ! And there lies the coincidence. There can be but one opinion on the affair of Count WIELoPoLsm. It must be a source of great annoyance to the Poles themselves that a country man of theirs should so comport himself. The letter to Prince NAPOLEON is a mixture of absurdity and affectation. He begins by stating that he considers that in tie speech in the Senate Prince NAPOLEON expressed himself concerning his father in an out rageous manner; as a son he now demands from his Rope Highness, in consequence of that unpardon able offence, the satisfaction which a man of honour never refuses. _ _ After this preamble the Count seeks by insult to provoke that accord to his request, which he evi dently doubts his power to obtain by quieter language. He says, however, after your antece dents, I have not much chance of your granting my demand. There are some whose courage soon fails them, and such individuals when called upon to give an account for their remarks, take refuge in a cowardly style by asserting the inviolability of their privileged condition. Perhaps your Royal Highness will take refuge behind the chiefs of the assassins in their haunts at Warsaw. Surely this is most unworthy language to come from a son of Poland. If he could not, or would not, lend bis aid to the cause of liberty, at least he should be precluded by every sentiment of honour and every impslse of right feeling from writing or talking in this manner. The next passage in this epistle is still more extravagant, wherein he refers to the con duct of his father, of whom he had better have had the decency to be silent, he also endeavours to fix the odium of any failure that may occur in the efforts of that nobleman in carry ing out the good cause inaugurated by ALEXANDER 11. whom he calls with excellent good taste our king, on Prince NAPOLEON. He says that it will be due to the soi disant friends of the cause such as the Prince and his revolutionary com- panions. This is about as unreasonable as possible. How can persons holding such diverse opinions be engaged in a joint cause, and what affinity appears even to exist between Prince NAPOLEON, the insurgents, and such a set as the Count WIELOPOLSKI, his father, and their friends. The Count concludes this absurd letter by announcing his intention to wait till the 2d of April for the reply of the Prince, and the nomination of his second. What a pity that he did not name a day earlier, and select the Ist of the month for the answer to such a composition. It is quite irritating to the mind to notice such triviali ties made so much of at a time when vital interests are at stake, and the existence of a nation is trem bling in the balance. There is no class of men who are so repugnant to the general feelings of huma nity as the renegade. In ancient times the man who lifted his hand against his country was always stigmatised, and the various changes that time has wrought in the constitution cf States and the cus toms of nationalities has not effected any alteration in this particular. Still do men love to applaud the patriot, whether he is hailed as a conquering hero, or buried in a martyr's grave, and still do they blush to own as a fellow creature the traitor who seeks to destroy the soil that gave him birth, and join with the hordes of the despot in trampling down the ranks of his struggling countrymen. If the Marquis Wow- POLSKI have any friends who are truer to his in terests than he has been to the sacred claims of his country, they would advise him to keep himself as retired as possible from public observation, and not to court censure by intruding his affairs on the notice of those who, if they desired to be of service to him, could only leave him without notice or mention. Reticence of speech, and moderation in action, are some of the most useful acquirements that mortals can at tain, but very rarely are they practised. If ever they were needed at one time more than another, it surely must be in a case analogous:to the pre sent, when the civilised nations of the world are anxiously awaiting the issue of a struggle which engages their best wishes, and will not tamely brook the intrusion of the unfounded claims that may be urged by the degenerate sons of a country that is now yielding up her bravest and best who are pouring out their lifeblood at the sacrificial altar of liberty, happy if their lives can purchase freedom for their beloved land, and con tent even to die in the sacred cause ; that hereafter their example may encourage others with like ardour and lead them on to a happier result, and-- ‘, So may their death hour leave a track Of glory permanent and bright, To which the brave of after times The suffering brave shall long look back." Scissoits.—There is an old story of a newly married couple, who after the due performance of the ceremony which made them man and wife, went to spend the rest of the day on the water. Their conversation un luckily turned upon an acquaintance who had cut something —it is immaterial what--whether a bit of string or a friend's throat. The bridegroom asserted that the operation was performed with a knife. The bride contradicted her hus band, and maintained it was done with a pair of scissors. The argument continued, until at length the bridegroom lest his temper, and struck his wife such a and blow that presently spur ting out in a loud voice r, raisashoorvse the surface, ;" again he hit her, and again she went undcr —then emerging, ejaculated Sciss-ah I" He repeated \ the process, and a third tim e she bobbed, but unable to speak thelast word, she extended two of her fingers, open ing and shutting them au as to express the motion of the useful article whose a gency in the sectatory operation under dispute, shehad espoused. , As she d id this, she sank once more beneath the waves, which closed for ever over her head. THE INGENUOUS AND REVERENTIAL MR• DING LAKE.—" Eothen" is indeed a delightful book ! I fell asleep over it last night, and dreamt that, mounted 011 an ostrich, I was careering over the boundless sands of Arabia with the author by my side! What a fascinating being he must be !--simple, earnest, full of reverential feel ing and mild enthusiasm! he has taken complete posses sion of my imagination. I know by instinct what his per sonal appearance must be : dark,—with the rich bronze of travel on his manly cheek,—wild masses of raven hairi and flashing eyes of jet 1 Something Manfredy and Corsairish in expression, perhaps, but mellowed and softened, no doubt, by the gentle influences of a more ornate civilization. I wonder—dues he still wander on those distant shores? or, like the honey-bee laden with exotic sweets, has he returned to garnish his perfumed memories in his native land—and another volume ? If in England—where ? I gather from the book that he is still unmar ricd—it sc--.why ? Ah, Frolic Fancy 1 whither wouldst thou stray? The answer from Sir Merlin just ar rived !

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 7, 1363 LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, APRIL 7. The following are the principal passages of the address to the Emperor, voted unanimously at the meeting of the nobility of the Government of St. Petersburg. The address says :—" The pretensions to the patrimony of Russia arising from the troubles in Poland excite our grief and indignation. The era of reforms inaugurated by your Majesty will not be favourable for the projects formed against the integrity of the empire. The nobility, united with all the other classes of society, will not ehrink be fore any effort or sacrifice to defend the territory of the empire." BRUSSELS, APRIL 6. The King drove ont to-day in public, taking part in the promenade of Longchamps. His Majesty drove along the Boulevards several times, and appeared to enjoy good health. VIENNA, APRIL 6. The Vienna papers publish intelligence, stating that the day before yesterday a band of insurgents attacked a Cossack frontier post near Szlany. The attacking party were yesterday, in their turn, as sailed by Russian infantry and dispersed. CRACOW, APRIL 6. The Czas of to-day states that an engagement has ,aken place near Olkusz, in which a Cossack de tachment was entirely destroyed. ST. PETERSBURG, APRIL 5. A great number of soldiers on furlough have been called in. The Journal de St. Petersburg publishes an Im perial decree, transferring to General Berg the civil administration of Poland in the event of the Grand Duke Constantine being prevented from discharg ing the duties connected therewith. ROME. The ceremonies of the Holy Week commenced on the 29th, Palm Sunday, his Holiness taking part in the function at St. Peter's. The crowds of foreign spectators were so great that the usual seats erected for ladies were far from sufficient to ac commodate all who presented themselves with tickets ; it was a case of first come first served, and some enthusiastic fair ones secured the best places by presenting themselves at the door of the Basilica at six o'clock in the morning. In the midst of the ceremony there arrived her Royal Highness Donna Isabella Maria, Infante of Portugal, who had just come by rail from Civita Vecchia, and was con veyed with her suite from the station, in the Mar shal Du!re of Saldanha's carriages, direct to St. Peter's in time to witness a good part of the service. Pio Nono, who was immediately informed of the arrival of her royal highness, politely welcomed the Infante by sending her a magnificently plaited palm-branch. What battles will ensue between ardent sight seers on Thursday to get a near view of his Holi ness washing the Apostles' feet ! What straining to determine the exact quality of the viands sub sequently offered by the Pontiff to the Typical Thirteen ! What faintings in the limited space of the Sixtine Chapel previous to and during the soft strains of the soprani of the Papal choir in Baini's " Miserere !" We may reckon that there are about 5,000 British subjects in Rome at this moment, and at least as many more continental visitors to the Eternal City. Nearly all make a point of seeing the Easter ceremonies: fancy what a squeeze ! SPAIN. MADRID, APIIII, 6. It is asserted that Senor Castro intends directing ;he attention of the Senate to the financial condi- tion of the country, and the deficit of 550 millions of Reals left by Senor Salaverria. The Correspo ndencia of Madrid of the 3d says —" We have received letters from Puerto Rico, telling how the revolutionary party has attempted to disturb public order. On the 26th FebruAry, 650 armed men under the command of Lucas de la Pena presented themselves before Guayabin, where there was a detachment consisting of 24 men only. This small force was consequently obliged to capitulate, and withdrew, leaving the town in the power of the insurgents, who also took possession of Savaneta, where the Government had no troops. As soon as the superior authorities heard of these facts, t.ey collected all the disposable troops, and sent to Puerto Rico for succour, whence they soon received a battalion and 100,000 piastres in money. The timely arrival of this rein forcement, and the skilful measures taken, re sulted in the defeat of the insurgents at Sa vaneta, after which the troops went to Guayabin and drove the rebels across the Ila , tian frontier." The same journal says that the men employed in making cuttings for the railway from Cordova to Malaga, have recently found, about half a league from the former place, a great number of columns and capitals of very superior execution. Antiqua rians who visited the spot suppose them to be the remains of one of the Moorish palaces which for merly existed in the neighbourhood of Cordova. FRANCE. RECALL OF ADMIRAL JURIEN DE LA GRAVIERE. PARIS, APRIL 7, Admiral Jurien de la Graviere has been recalled 1 from Mexico. The reason officially assigned for his recall is that the importance of the Frenoh naval forces in the Mexican waters is no longer such as to warrant the presence of an officer of that rank. Speaking of the much-lamented death of M. Eggot Algiers, Le Siecle of to-day notifies the fact that it was the deceased academician who origi nated the great Art Exhibition at Manchester. We learn from is Constitutionnel of this morn ing that in the afternoon of to-day the Emperor was to pass a review at Longchampe, the regiments of cavalry now set apart immediately to quit the gar risons of Paris and Versailles. It takes one back at a bound over 15 years,to read the very able revie w of the fourth and fifth volume of M, Gamier Page's " History of the Revolution of 1848" contained in the last number of L'Oinnion Nationale just come to hand. La France of this evening asserts that, according to news received from Mexico, General Bazaine had occupied Chollula on the 3d ult., in order to inter cept the retreat of the Mexican army from Puebla. The siege of Puebla was to commence upon the 16th ult. The Parte says :—"lt is reported that the gene ral election to the Corps Legislatiff will take place in the first fortnight in June." The organisation of the camp of Chalons, under the command of Marshal Baraguay d'Hilliers, has bareeenatcotlllheie headteds of the staff; Gen erals Uhrich, So), General de Margadel and B onam y and Jannin are the commanders of the infantry P divisions, and General do Forton of the cavalry.

Algiers publishes a letter from Baths, written by M. Bombonnel, the lion-hunter. He says :—" In the night of the 24th ult. the moon was obscured by clouds. I had concealed myself in a s mall copse close to the haunts of the lions, th4t post being assigned me by my friend Chassaing, who had himself taken another position. About seven in the evening I began to hear the roar of a lion, and soon after an enormous animal sprang at my horse, which was standing about eigl:t or ten paces from me. I took good aim, and the ball which was steel-pointed, knocked the lion over. I was re-loading when the animal rose and made slowly towards me, roaring frightfully. I laid aside my gun, and, taking a large horse pistol, was about to dis charge it at his head, when another large lion ap peared not far off. As this second one was fresh and unwounded, I considered it more dangerous than the other, and again taking up the gun, I finished loading, and then fired at the new corner and killed it on the spot. At the report, the first lion rose and disappeared in the wood. All the rest of the night passed off quietly. Chaessing, who had heard the reports, came to me at day-break, and we went together in search of the first lion, which we tracked by his footmarks and his blood during the whole day, but without being able at last to dis cover his haunt. What a pity ! after having watched for 13 nights."

The subjoined is taken from a Naples letter of the Ist :—" General de la Marmora has left on a tour of inspection. The news respecting brigandage is not unfavourable. Precautions having been taken this year in time, great diaasters will be avoided. The latest advices announce nothing but captures and the voluntary submissions of brigands. Pilone has decidedly taken refuge, as stated, in the Pon tificel States with the remnant of his band. Some Italian soldiers who were pursuing them, were, it is said, stopped at the frontier by the French troops, the latter undertaking to arrest the famous robber themselves, and give him up to the military autho rities of Terre de Labour. But instead of allowing himself to be taken by the French, he surrendered himself to five Papal gendarmes, who would not give him up, alleging, that he was a political pri soner, and the surrender is said to have been refused by the Roman Government on the same pretext. Turning to incidents of another character, I feel proud to say that there is at Naples one of the best Italian poets, M. Dall'Ongaro, who is giving a course of lectures on Dante, which are largely attended. I have heard of a project which may perhaps be executed. M. Dall'Ongaro not long since wrote a Roman tragedy, which Mme. Ristori lately played at St. Petersburg. The proposal is to give a perfor mance of it in the theatre at Pompeii. At a small outlay those ruins could be restored to their former appearance and to life." The .Roma of Naples states that the ex-King of the Two Sicilies has disposed of all his jewels to a Florentine house for about 80,000 Roman scudi (400,000 fr). EGYPT. A letter from Alexandria, dated March 26, says : 1 " On Ismael's Pasha's accession he reported to Con stantinople the position in which he found the ques tion 01 the Suez canal, requesting full instructions. The Porte having made no reply he will continue to supply the accustomed number of labourers until orders to the contrary are sent. The water for the fresh water canal has hitherto been drawn from the Canal de Molse, at Z agzig, and was quite insufficient, besides injuring the natives, who required the water for the irrigation of their fields. It has, therefore, been decided to return to the original plan of exca vating a new canal fran the Nile, near Cairo, thus obtaining at once a higher level, an ample supply of water, and not interfering with native rights. The Viceroy has determined to execute the work at i p v t his n r e own i o r cc u t eo y b rno l s o e ye s f eotxmhpeee territorial Suez from ca rj aql Cairo cu eo sn: ip t o o anns E yw l , hi N n V i cand ordermy , i g t ht h ot e e D p sruo avoid- qonfe landnce of o the n ei tchoenrc eside o of n g e r v a e n r y t e d canalby t h m e 1 ,, a d t e t by the company. Ismael. Pasha, I u nderstand, desires to develop' , the trade between Egypt and the Soudi.n, which is susceptible of great extension ; the main obstacle is the difficulty of communication and transport. He is seriously considering the formation of a rail way from Assonan to Berber, connected with Cairo by a line of steamers for passengers, goods, and an express post. The passenger steamers in winter are to be fitted up with every convenience for Eu ropean travellers. It is intended, subsequently, to complete the line between Cairo and Assonan, but as it is a great and expensive work, it can only be accomplished by de grees without pressing too heavily on the flnancee, which already have to bear the load of debt left by the late Viceroy. For the first time for some years the Baira m has been celebrated at the Citadel with du e p om p and ceremony by Ismael Pasha ; it h as beau a cause of rejoicing to the Caireens, as th e g reat influx of high dignitaries, accompanied by shoals of subordinates , the foreign representatives, and the inhabitants of Alexandria, who come up to offer their congratula tions to His Highness, has given a great impulse to trade of all sorts. The Viceroy showed his laud, courtesy and affability towards all who approached him. _ _ The native population enjoy the feast in their usual orderly and tranquil manner—no noise, the greatest goodnature, peaceable towards one another and unoffending towards strangers. Those who accuse the Arabs of fanaticism and hostility towards Christians allow themselves to be governed by strange fancies and unreasooing timidity. Nowhere in the world is there a more docile people, or one so quietly and easily pl ease d w ith its amusements. ‘, l 7 „ = ,p HER MAJESTY. WINDSOR CASTLE, April 6.

On Saturday evening between six and seven, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who was riding, was thrown from his horse in Rotten-row. The horse took fright, an the right bun, gentleman lost all control over the animal. Ho re ceived a severe cut on the forehead, and a slight cut on the nose, and is severely bruised about the head. The right hon. gentleman had no groom with him at ;the time, and was much shaken. On Sunday fae was obliged to keep his bed. Yesterday he was able to descend to his library ; and on inquiry last evening we were g lad to learn that the right hon. gentlemen wrs going on well.—Morning Poppy SOUTH KENSINGTON :MUSEUM.—During the week ending April 4 the risi.ors have been es fol lows :—On Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday, free days, open from 10 a m.lO 10 p.m., 8.487 ; on Wednesday, Thurs day, and Friday, students' days ( Amission to th- public 6d) open from 10 a.m till 5 p.m., 963; total, 9,250 From the opening of the museum, 3,748,283.

THE REPRESENTATION OF DEVONPORT.—With respect to the report of the intended retirement of Sir. A. W. Buller, we find the party papers are pursuing the same course as they did with respect to the report about Sir Michael Seymour. Six months before the event, and again and again during the interim, we stated that Admiral Sir M. Seymour would retire from the House of Commons, and probably take the command-in -chief at Portsmouth. The party papers repeatedly denied our statements, but Sir Michael did vacate the seat for Devon port, and is the naval commander-in -chief at Portsmouth. We have printed a rumour as to the probability of Sir A. W. Buller having his promised seat at the India Council Board, in time to make it necessary he should vaca te his seat as M.P. for Devonport. This some of the party papers affect to disbelieve, but since we made reference to it, eir - • cumstances have occurred ten din g to establish its proba bility. Mr. J. R. Jeffery, of Liverpool, who has a laudable n the ambition to enter Parlia ment, has again been i borough, and has had interviews with some of the leading Liberals, and it was stated in Devonport yesterday that good a canvass on Mr. Jeffery' s behalf would be begun in earnest immediately after the Easter holidays. assert they are fully prepared for the emergency.— Western Morning News of yesterday. THE GOVERNMENT TROOP-SHIP BONTES.—This fine steam-ship, which has just been built and fitted out by Messrs. Laird, of Birkenhead, for the Government transport service, left the Mersey on Saturday last under steam for Devonport. The Bontes is the largest vessel ever constructed on the Mersey—she is 200 feet in length over all, 44 feet 7 inches in extreme breadth, 32 feet depth of hold, and her register tonnage 2,811 tons; her engines are 500 horse power, and she has accommodation for about 1,100 to 1,200 men. TERRIFIC EXPLOSION OF GAS.--On Thursday night a most terrific". explosion of gas occurred at Monkwearmouth, Sunderland, which it has subsequently been discovered caused the death of three children. It occurred in a large new steam flour mill, occupied by Mr. D. Ryder, near to the railway station. At the time of the explosion seven little boys were playing in front of the mill. Four of them escaped, but the other three poor little children were overwhelmed by the falling mill and killed. Their names were William and Robert Garwood, 14 and 11 years of ago respectively, sons of a potter, and George Geoffrey, an orphan boy, who was living with his brother. [he mill is a complete wreck, and the damage is estimated at between £2,000 and £3,000. It is partially covered by insurance. IHE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES.—The final money deposit (£200) in connexion with this race will be made on Thursday eext, at Barnes, and the race will taee place, according to previous a rangenient, next Tues ;1437. The present champion (Chambers) is in training at Wandsworth ; atm Everson, his antagonist, at Barnes. FATAL PUGILISTIC ENCOUNTER est erday a it in about 20 years old, sft. 9in. high, was brought to the London Hospital at 10 o'clock in the morning with narks of violence on his head, face, and body, and in a dying state. He expired half an hour afterward.. Two men who brought the deceased to the hospital said they did not know his name and address, and that he had been fighting that morning with another man in a field in Bow. Uhe prisoner was insensible on the termination of the fight, and his antagonist absconded. The deceased was dressed in a enuff-coloured coat, black cloth trousers, white shirt, and white stockings. AN EXPENSIVE JOKE. —At the Liverpool Assizes yesterday, a rather curious action was tried, the plaintiffs and defendant being cotton waste dealers. Mr. Walton, the manager for the plaintiffs, while at an hotel in Bolton, met the defendant, and the conversation turned upon cotton. The defendant said he had 105 bales of Egyptian cotton lying at Liverpool, which he would sell for £l,BOO below the invoice price. Mr. Walton and Mr. Yates, who was also present, agreed to buy the cotton on these terms, and paid a deposit, partly in cash and an "I 0 U," the defendant giving a sale note. On going down to Liverpool, the plaintiffs found that the defendant had no cotton in that town or anywhere else, and they therefore brought the action to recover damages. For the defence it was contended that the affair was a joke, and the contract made in a mere spirit of "bounce." Yee learned Judge (Mr. Baron Martin) said there was no getting ever the sale note, and if people foolishly made such contracts, they must abide the consequences. The jury found a ver dict for the plaintiffs—damages £330. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY.—By a passing train on Saturday morn ing it was discovered that a most horrible accident had taken place at the Stansted station, near Bishop Stortford, as the remains of a human body were perceived to be. scat tered about the line in all directions, and to collect which it became absolutely necessary to use a broom. Upon inqui ries being instituted, the unfortunate creature was di,co vered to be the night signalman at the Stansted station, named Clark, who was about 40 years of age, and who is supposed to have met with his untimely death by the up. mail train, although there is not the slightest clue as to how it did occur. The poor fellow was a particularly well behaved and steady man, and a native of Bishop Stortford, and we regret to add that he leaves a wife and a large family of young children. The coroner for Essex will hold an in quest on the body this day (Tuesday). GREAT FIRE ON THE YORKSHIRE WOLDS.—At noon, on Sunday, the town of Melon was alarmed by the tolling of the fire bells. The fire brigade were soon together. and engines and four horses were despatched to Leavening, on the Wolds, nine miles distant, where a de structive fire was raging n the farinsteed of Mrs M. Simpson. The fire was caused by a spark from a flue, which was blown by the high wind—almost a gale—into the ad joining building, and fanned into a furious flame. Build ings, corn, and calm' property were totally l urnt, but a severance w- s made in order to save the house, and the wind was fortunate ay right for blowing the fire away from the stacks. The place is on a wold summit, without water; therefore the fire was very difficult to bubdue, and the damage is heavy, but covered by insurance in the County office. THE ACCIDENT TO AN EXPRESS TRAIN.—A large number of workmen were employed during the whole of Sunday in removing the wreck occasioned by the accident at Little Bytham on the Great Northern Railway, reported is The Sun of yesterday. The two wounded passengers, Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher, were progressing favourably. It has been ascertained that the enginedriver, Charles Clarke, had two of his ribs fractured. The speed of the train at the time of the accident is alleged to have been nearly 60 miles an hrur, so that it appears perfectly miraculous how the pas senger should have escaped. This frightful occurrence was not without its ludicrous incident. One of the passengers was extricated from a shattered carriage without having suetained the slightest personal injury; but, although he had just escaped from the very jaws of death, he could not be pacified because the railway officials could not find his pipe among the ruins. Lectures on the History of England. By William Longman. Lecture IV. 2'he Reign of Edward 1., 1272-1307. Longman, Green, and Co. Another of these exhaustive lectures on our national history enables us, in less than a hundred pages octavo, to survey, not superficially, but searchingly and comprehensively, the whole of the memorable epoch embraced within the reign of our First Edward. That reign extended over an inter val of time exactly equivalent to the period set down, in the calculations of actuaries and statis ticians, as the lifetime of a generation. Beginning in 1272 and ending in 1307, Edward's reign was lengthened out, in other words, to a period of exactly thirty-five years. It was a reign that left its stamp upon our annals. It was a reign, the record of which is eminently worthy of being again and yet again related. As it is here related by Mr. Longman, it stands out to view distinctly, com pletely, and as a whole. We obtain a knowledge of the epoch in its entirety—and yet, while we are obtaining it, we examine it, almost one might say, bit by bit, in detail, as though it were slowly pass ing under the lens of a microscope. Mr. Longman, reversing the ordinary system, begins his historical survey of a reign where others usually terminate it. Before uttering one syllable, for example, before penning one sentence upon the reign of Ed ward 1., he gives his hearers originally, his readers now, a rapid summary of the character of that monarch. Contrasting Edward I. with his father Henry 111., he says :—" The one was weak and yielding ; a man to be loved, although deceitful ; of elegant tastes and habits ; and, of a decidedly pious frame of mind. The other was strong and stern ; of quick feelings and powerful intel lect ; bo'd and active ; fond of field sports ; some what of a tyrant, and sometimes faithless, it must be owned ; but yet, in the main, noble and just. He was a conqueror, whose con quests, not only gave greater strength to Eng land, but bettered the conquered ; and lastly, he vas a King, in whose reign law and justice made forward strides." Describing the psrsonat appearance of King Edward 1., Mr. Longman s Lys very graphically—" In person. he was t.A. and broad-cnesred ; tis rats wa flax, I , in his youth, bec , me brown in his man'aouci, un6 grizz'y gray in hie old age. Li one thing, he cat's much like his father. His left eyelid drooped, and almost covered the eye; yet his face, and his whole bearing, be spoke him a man of wisdom and of courage." While, of the simplicity of the grew King's personal habits, meaning in regard to his very costume, the lecturer goes on to remark that Edward I. "so much despised all outward pomp, that from the day of his coronation he never again wore his crown ; and, except on great occasions, he never used purple, scarlet, or rich fur in his garments ; but generally appeared in a plait, coat, lined in winter with some common fur." In this particular—not very unlike other atilt greater men than hin self, before and since. Napo leon the Great being conspicuously amongst the n umber—distinguishable, as he was, in the midst of his gorgeous staff and esoort, in his little unplumed hitt,', his grey greatcoat, and his jackboots—with the glint of a star just visible under his half but toned green uniform undercoat as a colonel of chassears, and the plain cross of the Legion of Honour twinkling at his button-hole as be rode. Remembering that in Edward I.'s reign occurred the conquest of Wales and the most famous of the wars with Scotland, the wars in which William Wallace shone forth as the kingly Hero and Robert Bruce as the heroic King of the Scots—the tale here, told again so very succinctly and pic turesquely is worth the telling : more particularly when the reader finds in the narrator, as Mr. Long man's reader unquestionably does (even the most captious will readily acknowledge this), a writer of admirable perspicacity. As exemplars of his manner as a narrator, or rather as an epitomiser of great events, we will give his tersely written record of the Rise, and again immediately afterwards of the Fall, of Wallace : At length, when the country was left to its fate by the greater nobles, there arose, from among the lesser barons, a man who long struggled successfully against the Engl sh dominion, and who, had he not been thwarted by the quar rels among his own countrymen, would doubtless have driven the English out of Scotland. This was William Wallace of Elderslie. In those days, bodily strength and courage were of the greatest importance, and Wallace had an iron frame, and a stature which was a.most gigantic, A quarrel with some English officers drove him to revolt; he was insulted in the town of Lanaik, and would have been killed in the streets, had he not been sheltered in the house of his sweetheart, until he was able to escape to the neigh• bourit g wocds. Here, by degrees, he collected together those who had refused submission to Edward, and they chose him for thei. chief. He, and his brave little bard, began by attacking straggli• g parties of the English, and in these attacks he was genet a;ly succebstul. The path, across the mountains, rid the ways lion one t cour,try to 'mother, thus beonme well known to hint ; an the knowledge thus acouirrd, was of great use to hint his contests -vith the English troops. His countrymen be gan to trust him more at d more, and he was , 00n at th, head of a large body of Scottish exiles. Sir t' ibiam Douglas was the first noble who came with his vassals to Wallace's support; vioth their united forces they gained greater suc cesses, and by degrees some of the most pouertul of the Scottish nobles were not ashamed to fight under the Latino of Wallace. There remained only one man, who still defied the power of Edward, who still eluded hie vengeance. This was Wallace. Soon he too came within the conqueror's grasp; betrayed by his fickle, faithless, jealous countrymen. Be was tried for treason, and condemned to suffer death, by a cruel and ignominous process ; which was put in execution on August 23, A.D. 1305. It is sad that a monarch, who, for nearly his whole life, kept and deserved a character for wisdom and for justice, should thus, at its close, wipe out, with a bloody hand, the almost unqualified praise which would otherwise have been his due. Wallace was not guilty of treason ; for although Edward claimed to be King of Scotland, he was never recognised as such by the Scot tish nobles. Edward was master of Scotland, and might have made himself its King; but his right was only that of conquest, and the right of resistance remained to the con quered, so long as there was any hope of success. Wallace, it is true, was guilty of savage cruelty, and his brutality to those whom he overcame, on many occa'ions, cannot, I fear, be doubted. But the acts of Edward himself might have made him look at the deeds of Wallace with less severity ; he was powerful, and might have pardoned. Vain, however, was this savage punishment; the mangled remains of the dead hero appealed to his countrymen more eloquently than his persevering courage when alive, and within six months of the death of Wallace, Scotland was once mere free. As a truly valuable digest of the history of a great reign, these abbreviated annals of the thirty-five years during which the first Edward held the sceptre of England in his warrior-grasp, are not unworthy—and this is high praise we know —these foreshortened annals are not unworthy of one of the eminent firm of publishers distin guished among other things as the publishers of Lord Macaulay. The Fifth Lecture, announced we observe as very shortly to be published, will complete the first volume by giving a narrative of the Reign of Edward the Second, embellished with a map of Scotland in the 13th century, and a plan of the Battle of Bannockburn—the whole being crowned by that most welcome and useful of all additions to a historical work, a copious alpha betical index.

A county meeting of the gentry and inhabitants of Buck inghamshire, convened by the High Sheriff, Mr. F. C. Love t, was held yesterday in the County-hall, Aylesbury. The High Sheriff presided, and was supported by the Lord Lieutenant (Lord Carington), Hon. Wm. Cavendish, M.P., Sir Harry Verney, M.P , Mr. Bernard, M.P., Rev. Sir R. Fettles, Sir T. F. Fremantle, and a large number of the magistrates of the county. The HIGH SHERIFF having briefly stated the object of the meeting, which was to adopt addresses of congratulation to the Queen and the Prince of Wales, on the occasion of the marriage of his royal highness, Lord CARINGTON (the Lord-Lieutenant) moved the adoption of addresses to her Majesty and the Prince, ex pressive of loyalty to the royal family, and congratulations on the auspicious event. Mr. DisRAELI, M.P., in seconding the proposition, said—. I have great pleasure, however unexpectedly, in seconding the motion made by the Lord-Lieutenant. The relations between the royal family of this country and the people aro not relations of form—they are relations of feeling ; and that feeling, which is deep and universal, has been occa sioned by a conviction—now prevalent for many years in this country—that to the temperate wisdom with which the high functions of the throne have been administered in England we owe much of the happiness and much of the prosperity we enjoy. Under any circumstances, any public incident tending to the happiness of her Majesty would be, lam sure, interesting to her subjects. But that event which has called us together to-day is one which, while it must engage her feelings more than almost anything we can imagine that could now occur, is almost equally interesting to the whole of this nation. The marriage of the heir to the throne is an event wh,joh must exercise a great influence on the fortunes of this country, and it 10 a matter for congratulation that we know enough of the Princ'a of Wales to inspire confidence in his character and conduct. That confidence is based on two circurn stances—first, his natural eisposition, and secondly, his edu cation. What we know of his natural disposition, as truly and eloquently described by the Lord-Lieutenant, gives us every confidence that he will not disappoint the just expo rations of the country. B e has given evi, ence of an amieble and engaging character, while at the same time his education. 'has been wor. by of his position. It was devisid and planed by one of the wisest and best men that ever itiuriehed in England. Although young, his experience has not been slight. He has seen much of teany countries, of various classes of society, and by his natural intelligence he has acquired valuable experience. Under tnese circumstances, thus born and thus bred, des- tined to the highest iesponsibi►ities, he has early in life d-cided on the eve ,, t which is the most important in the life of every man. Generally speaking, when young princes, the heirs to great thrones, are married, their marriages ire advised and planned by others, and often are influ enced by feelings which certainly do not spring from the affections. But in this ease it is a subject for great congratulation that the marriage of his Royal Highness is one to which he has been prompted entirely by his oval feelings, and we have every expectation that it is a choice which will secure his happiness. He has had early in life the wisdom to decide on possessing a happy home, and 5 happy home for a Prince is the best security for the happi' ness of his subjects. I have, therefore, great pleasure in supporting the address which has been moved by the Lord- Lieutenant, which, I think, properly expresses the tradi tional loyalty of this ancient county. (Cheers.) A vete of thanks to the High Sheriff, moved by Lord CAxINOTON and seconded by Sir H. WRNET, closed the proceedings. A Paris letter, in the Nouvelliate of Rouen, says —" I am informed that the Minister of State hag authorised representations at the Theatre-Francais and the Theatre-Lyrique for the benefit of the wounded P o les- Mme. Viardot, who is about to retire from the stage and take up her residence at Baden, will appear at the Theatre .- Lyrique for the last time in one of those representations," Several journals state that the new Pasha Of Egypt has just fixed at 1,500,000 fr. per month the sum to be paid to the Isthmus of Sues company until 300 fr. per share on the 200,000 shares subscribed for by hie predecessor shall have been up. In consequence of this arrangement the company, it is said, will be enabled to con tinue its works for two years without making a call on the shareholders.

WHO ARE THOSE WHO GO CRAZY P—Some time Age I examined the bitatiatice of a lumatic asylum n Massachusetts (says a writer in the Jew York , bserver) , And I was astonisued to find that the largest number of cases come from the very last class of people to which one would have looked for the insane. The class was of young farmers' wives I And the report stated very distinctly the causes of this remarkable fact : young women take upon themselves the care of housekeeping, with the toils of farra• Life added, and those of a family too; unable to keep It " heqa," and ambitious to be smart and keep up appear' ances, they worry or fret themselves to death or insanity There is a good lesson to be learned from this startling fact. Lay it to heart, young women, and especially young ree' thers. And nut only lay it to heart, but lay it up in your heads, too. The moral of it is : "Don't worry ; don't over work; don't try to do everything at once, and all alone, too ; don't think that the world will come to an end, or that your folks will be ruined, if this little thing is not dune to night; but take things quietly, patiently, hopefully; always be in haste, but never in a hurry; do one thing at a Olney and do it well, and then attempt the next, and take n° thought for the morrow—' sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof , Life is too precious to be wasted in idleness or destroyed by worrying. Activity, energy, industry, an d perseverance are all virtues and graces to be cultivated a° indispensable to success. But these graces are not incon sisteat with a calm and equable frame of mind, that meets the sterner duties of life with faith and hope, bears adversity with resignation, and is not overcome with prosperity, an d has learned in whatever state the lot is cast, therewith to be content.
