The most luxurious magnificence is everywhere to be met with, in connexion with our social insaitut ions ; but everywhere ails elbowed by the most squalid misery. It is in the most sumptuous capital, as it is iu the must beautiful provinces which are to be found in Europe, that this fearful contrast obtrudes itself on the most indifferent .or careless observer. The presence of poverty and distress, - ender their most appalling aspects, amidst the most elaborate refinement, and the unstinted exhibition of riches and of pomp, is so remarkable in England at this day, that it seems to reconcile itself to our ideas as a healthful qualiticati.at of that passion for display which is daily assuming more decided development in the national ,sharacter. We are insensibly habituating ourselves to the example of those old Egyptians who imposed an impressive aint on the growing hilarity of their festive meetings by s veiling, at a certain period of their symposiac festivities, the Embalmed corpses of their ancestors. In England the juxta pu-iiion of the highest and the lowest conditions of social existence—of the capital which is so largely etnployed to procure all enjoyments fur the former, and of the penury - which denies the most ordinary necessaries of human life to the latter—is a perpetual miracle. That capital, those en joyments, subsist, expand, multiply, under no more im tnt.diste protection than the moral guarantee of public upinton, winch, in its turn, is the only true form of This wretchedness, with all its sufferings, and the ter rible strength of the physical wants that surround it, con i.ittws religiously to respect that moral protection. Tenapta tiod, in a thousand forms, and with all its importunate .activity, from week to week, day to day, hour to hour, is constantly bringing under the eye of famine the well-spread bo,nl of luxurious plenty, and placing within the reach and cry to:!ch of destitution, the easily-accessible and aasv. :was treasures of opulence. But the effort is vain. _l\liery respects the rights that are denied to itself, and turns from the excess of that abundance, of which not even h 'frac:ion is doled out to itself, to the mournful haitudes of its snaring and its despair. But it human charity is thus indifferent to—or from their *m,iss and variety incompetent to relieve—the distresses or the destitute, surely human laws ought to protect and even to reward these latter for their abstinence, their patience, their good conduct. Among the numerous cases on which -we have felt it from time to time our duty to animadvert, :Li illustra*.ing the 04igraceful and painful fact that the ten dcncies of the law, in this country, point in just the con trary direction, we know of none in which legalised oppres sion has attained to so mons'rous a height as those which arise t•ut of decisions by our petty magisterial sessions, on -snp summonses against the very poorest class of cottage holders, for non-payment of the parochial or district poor-rates to which they stand assessed. Often as we have found ourselves compelled to bring these matters under public notice, .we , shall nerer relax cur efforts, humble though they be, on the one hand to awaken the indignant reprobation Of the pubiic to the wanton cruelty of poor-law unions and parochial authorities in pressing such assessments against decayed householders, if we may so term them, who cannot find bread even for themselves or their wretched children— and to urge upon the attention of Parliament Ate scandal, as well as the absurdity, of permitting any laws to remain on the statute-book, under the letter of which those more hopelessly .poor than the parochial paupers are required to contribute out of their own destitution towards the support of all the other destitute of the union within the limits of which their cot - tines are situate. To the competent and the rich on the po licy,- independently of all other considerations, of securing the continued forbearance and respect of the poor, whose masses, from their increasing number and the extent of their priva tions, are every day becoming more formidable, we can urge no stronger appeal than that which we have already renewed on this occasion. .... Just six months have elipsel since some feelings, stronger than those of astonishment, were excited by the report of some t:...temetits made in Parliament connected with the case of a poor, but very industrious labourer, against whom cer . taiu Leicestershire magistrates had granted a distress war , rant for non-payment of a poor-rate. This man, together with a poor female, charged with the same crtrate:—" inabi lity to ['ay" —was sent, there being no gods and chattels ' left to hint in his miserable cottage wherewith to defray the levy, to Leicester County Gaol, till such rate should be paid. Some charitable individual (who " Did good by stealth, and blusli'd to find it f ame ") pa i d the rate for them. . And what ensued? They were committed to the House of Con ectioa for one month—" with hard labour". (!!)—for this contumacious inability to pay costs, aggravated by the yet more intolerable offence or having, under the pressure pr,3vious misery, parted with all the " goods and chattels" tint the distress-warract mull have been levied on. On the f es corning before the Houses of Parliament, the Lord i Chancellor in one of' them, an.l the Home Secre'ary in the other, expressed strong opinions, we find, on the illegality, as well as the inhumacity, of the decision which thernagistrates had arrived at, and the man LAND; was released three in rendering the natives less In sale than they hare for some time been. This was the ti:st day for the payment of the October divi dends to the public. The attendance of parties claiming in terest was very great indeed, but principally composed of the smaller holders of Stock. The Consol Market nes advanced to-day. The settlement of the Accounts has as yet gone off very favourably. Consols for the Account have been quoted at 93% for the 25th November, and at 93% for the immediate transfer. The prices of the latter is now a shade lower. Bank Stock has advanced to 207, but the New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have receded from 100 1 4 to 9934. India Stuck, atter touching 267, has gone back to 266. Exchequer-tills remain at about 51s. premium, and India Bonds are at 635. premium. In the Foreign Funds the operations have not been of consequence. Spanish Three per Cents. ihave gone back since the early part of the morning from 38 to 37%. Peruvian Bonds are steady at 384. Mexican are 31%, Austrian at 112, Brazilian at 80% to 86, and the Dutch Two-and-a--Half per Cents. have just been sold at a rise of from 60 1 % to 65%. This is the settlement day in the Share Market, and little else has been done but the adjustment of the accounts. The demand for railway . shares keeps very good for approved lines. The official list will furnish the latest values of the day. ONE CLOSING PRICES OF BRITISII FUNDS. O'CLOCK. PRICES Bank Stock .............. ........ 206% 207 207 y 3 per Cent. Reduced 3 per Cent.

Again the cruel experiment Las been repeated of attempting to ex-e tract froth this chattel-less man, a contribution for the sup port of others in the same comlition as himself, but inmates of the union-house. What is his own character ? A par ticularly good one ; that of a hard-working, well-conducted, and respectable man. His excellent deportment is attested under the hands of his employers and neighbours. But his wages for the last eleven weeks have averaged but 9s. Bd. per week. The rent of his cottage absorbs of this ls. Bd., and there remain Bs. for the support of himself, his wife, and a family of four young children. His attendance be fore the Ashby-de-la-Zouch bench on a new summons a fort night ago entailed upon bins the loss of 45., and the fees then charged and ordered by the magistrates were, ss. "for their clerk, and ls. 6d. for the constable." Now, this is, we do not scruple to say, a mockery of all law, all justice, all humanity, all common sense. It is an oppression—sanctioned by Act of Parliament or not—sufficient to " drive wise men mad," and to create a spirit of dangerous exasperationamong the indus trial poor from one end of the kingdom to another. LAIUN has been again committed to gaol, under the warrant of a Mr. CRESWELL and a Reverend Sir NIGEL GRESLEY, Baronet, fur non-payment of the rate, ss. 4d., and of course the costs again, 6s. 6d. additional. We are told by grave commenta tors and Christian lawyers that " the law is the perfection of common sense." See how it proclaims its common sense. A meritorious but poor man (of the little furniture in whose cottage not a stick belongs to himself, but is his landlord's) is unable to pay poor-rates on a cottage, of which the rent is 31. 18s. per annum. There is nothing to levy ou. There fore the Ashby-de-la-Zouch magistrates imprison him for this offence, that not being able by hard work, when he can get it, to keep himself and his family a chair or a stool, or a supply of food adequate to the necessities of human subsistence, he is unable to pay lls. 10d., or one sixth of the whole amount of his rent, towards the support of the clothed, fed, and lodged paupers of his district, who da not work at all. Perhaps it is a further aggravation of his offences that he has the spirit to work, though he starve, rather than sacrifice his pauper independence by going into the union-house. Well, this is punishment enough. But why, in the name of common humanity, is he to be punished for anything beyond the infamy of being too poor to support the poor ?—for being, also, too pour to con tribute to the overpaid allowances of some sleek magistrates' clerk, or some burly sessions constable, by paying to those functionaries for battening on his wretchedness just 120 per cent. on the amount of his rate? This case is monstrous. It would have well become the "Rev." Baronet and the other committing magistrate—(this latter having previously signed, as it is stated by our correspondent, the other commit ment to hard labour, which received the just censure of Lord LYNDHURST and Sir JAMES GRAHAM) —to pay the whole exaction— the rate and the costs—rather than have been in etrumental to the exciting afresh that degree of public disgust and indignatioia which such an affair as thie - will assuredly challenge. 60 1 .4 113'4. 26 3 4 37 3 / 4 99k, GO% . 94 1 ,4 474 PRICES OF BUSINESS DONE CLOSING tt AMWAY SHARES PA/D.

Considering, in dee,i, the enormous actual amount of the reductions effected: by the present Premier in :the rates of duty on various articles of very extensive and general consumption, (some of them in the nature of raw material), within the last two years, and a large proportion of the aggregate decrease of Customs upon which only developed itself within the last twelvemonths, we are entitled to a,sume that against the positive decrease of income in this most important branch of revenue, of 1,590,9501., on the comparison of the year 1845 with 1844, there is to be taken into account a rapidly expanding pro ductiveness of realised duty on the bulk of the articles which still remain chargeable.

We entertained strong doubts as to the truth of this averment from the first, and we are at present in possession of information on the subject which enables us to give a dech'ed contradiction to the rumour that the Davis's Straits lead possesses any of the prc perties which render the 13,,rrowdale lead so valuable. A friend of ours was hi Leith the other day v. lendhe Comet arrived from Davis's Straits with a cargo of the aon board, samples of which he examined with great care, and so fur train its possessing the va!uable properties of the Bwrow lead. it does not even resemble it in appearance. In fact. it could not be distinguished from what is known in the trade as Spanish lead ; its ever coming into use, therefore, as a sub stitute for the valuable mineral found in norrowdale, is en tirely out of the question.— Cumberland Paeguet.

CHARII•K'x-CROSts BRIDGE._ A meeting of the Propr;etors of the Cinfring cros bridke; who disapprove ofthe late proceedings at the general mie2ting of the Proprietors of the undertaking, some time 6ince, took place last night at the Londou Cofae-house, for the purpose of considering and determining what measures they would take to fo7ward the views of Lie Committee of the London Central Railway Terminus Company. Mr. Chadwick took the chair, and the following resolutions were unanimously agreed to : "That the meeting cannot too forcibly express their disap probation of the conduct of the Directors of the Hungerford mrket Company, who, for an apparently trifling gain, have samiticed the welfare of the Charing-cross-bridge proprietary, have embarrassed the arrangements entered into by their Directors, and prevented the sale of their property to a Com pany which, as it represented the interests of all existing southern railways, must eventually meet with success.

"That as the Lond9n Central Terminus Company had in timated their readiness to give the same preference in On allotmmt of shares to the Chafing-cross-bridge proprietors who had supported the agreement mad.; with the Company as they would have hail if the same had not been repudiated, such sharehohlers are therefofe strongly recommended still to endeavour to obtain an interest in that Company."

PARISH OF KENSINGTON.-CHURCII-RATF.S.-Fr. day a numerously and respectably - attended vestry me&- ing of the inhabitant ratepayers of the parish of St. Mary Abbotts, Kensington, was held, pursuant to public notice, i,; the vestry-room of the Old Church, -‘ for the purpose of ex amining and passing the accounts of the churchwardens for tlw past year, and also for making a rate for the support, maintenance, and repairs of the church during the current year." The Venerable Archdeacon Sinclair, vicar, haviu: taken the chair, and the notice calling the meeting having . , been read, the accounts were then passed, without - a disaen tiant voce. Mr. Bellworthy then said it was his duty, at churchwarden, to ask the vestry to grant a church-rate for the current year, of one penny in the pound or. the rental c) the parish, amounting to 10,05 U. It was a very unusual circumstance in that parish to have only a penny church rate, but he was happy to say it was sufficient. kr Ches terton seconded the motion for a penny rate. After some discussion, the chairman said the only motion before the meeting was a rate of one penny, which was carried by an immense majority, the only dissentient hand held up being that of Mr. Sullivan. Thanks were then voted to the vene rable chairman, and the meting broke up.

HUGH MARSDEN. -• Thnrrday forenoon Sir W. H. Marsden lefv his residence, HaLord Lodge, near Waltham, in a pair.horse phaeton. On emerging from the lodge-gate into the main poad, Sir William suddenly came upon a drove of oxen. In the confusion that ensued, one n: horses ran on the horns of an ox, which perforated the animal': flank. The horse immediately started off at a furious pee, per fectly unmanageable, and the phaeton was whirled ahng at a tremendous speed until the horses reached the hill at Harestock, when their speed being decreased, the groom, who accompanied Sir William, alighted from the phaeton and ran to the horse , ' heals. In his attempt to check the animals, the groom was knocked down and severely kicked, and his attempt having caused the horses to turn round, the animals dashed back down the hill, and ran the phaeton into a deep ditch by the road-side Sir Wil liam was thrown out of the vehicle against the bank, and had his lett arm broke. and his lett hip dislocated, besides other internal injuries. The horses remained struggling in the traces until re. leased by the groom. The horse gored by the Ox was obliged to be destroyed. A memorial has been transmitted from the Isle Man to the Lords of the Treasury, praying that the mail communication with Liverpool may be three tim a a week during the whiter months, instead of twice weekly. FATAL ACCIDENT OFF BATTERSEA —TUE'daN evening, between five and six o'clock, another melancbo() . and fatal accident took place nearly opposite the Red House Tavern, liatersea by which an elderly gentleman named George Mitten, of the Vauxhall bridge-road, lost his life. It seems that the unfortunate deceased and a friend hired a small pleasure boat for the purpose of proceeding down the river. They were rowing very gently down with the stream when the), by some means, came in cotitict with a heavily laden barge. The force of the collision turned their boat, a " funny," completely over, immersing them in the water, in stantly. An alarm was immediately made by the persons who witnessed the accident on shore, and severol b,atmen rowed to t le spot, but before they could get to them the de ceased had dis appeared. The other gentleman was fortu nately saved from a watery grave by clinging to the head part of the barge. THE NEW GAMING ACT.—It was stated in a para graph relating to the new Gaming Act, which appeared in this paper of Saturday, that the magistrates at Marlboiough street Police-otlice, who had looks d into the Act, were oi opinion that an oversight had been committed, inammich a, it appeared, according to the wording of one of the clauses_ that licensed victuallers could claim the a; vantage of keep ing their houses open all night (Saturday excepted) for play ing billiards, and consuming excisable ?kin This con struction of the Act appears, however, on re-co,sideration to be erroneous. There is a sub , equent clause which prohibits bcensed victuallers from keeping open their houses for bil liards between the hours of one and eight in the morning. It is necessary to corre A the statement in the fo,m,r parkrrapi, as it may otherwise mislead those most interested in th matter. M. TmEns.—lt is said that M.

Lave said its object was to turn Lim into ridicule. " Go, But we are further to remember that not more than two years have elapsed since the present Government reduced the tariff of produce and merchandise paying Customs by some hun dreds of articles. And last session the Customs' duties on not less than four hundred articles were entirely abolished. The wisdom which determined on totally eras ing such articles from the list, on contrasting the amount of net duty they yielded with the proportion ascribable to them of the gross charge of Customs' collection, is no more to be doubted now than it was at the time it was first de termined to try the experiment of so wholesale a fiscal repeal. But it is surely to be acknowledged, that a further contingent reduction of the last year's yield of Customs' duty must, in fairness, be further allowed for, inasmuch as from any of the various accidents which govern such matters—caprice, fashion, popular taste or favour —it is highly probable that by this time they would have been contributing some sensible additions to the revenue. But above all it ought to be remembered that the duty on foreign corn during the last quarter has been next to no thing, while during the same period last year it amounted to nearly a million sterling. These account sufficiently for the apparent large falling off in the quarter's Customs. Much of the reasoning which applies to the duties of Cus toms is equally valid as to those of Excise, in appreciating their aggregate productiveness. Her MAJ EsTY's present Ministers might, in our opinion, in common with all their predecessors in Government for the last one hundred years. have - reduced that most oppressive body of imposts, the Ex cise, to a far greater extent then they or those who have been in office before them, have hitherto even contemplated. Vici ous in principle, extravagant in amount, arbitrary in col lection, the Excise is a costly and scandalous price to pay even, for the immense national benefit of the Revolution of 1688. It is a tax which is accurately framed to dip deeply into the till of the retail trader, whilst it seldom or ever visits the strong-box of the wholesale dealer, or mer chant importer. It passes by almost imperceptibly the coffers of the rich, but absolutely and rudely plunders the scanty purse of the poor man, as often as he draws its strings to pay fur the most indispensable articles of subsistence. But the wars which the accession of King WILLIAM left as a rent charge on the legacy of our noble constitution have, accord ing to the averment of every Minister since Sir ROBERT WALPOLE, and of every Government which has held office under the House of Hanover, rendered it necessary for the discharge of the public obligations to maintain this scheme of taxation—not the less odious that it was originated under the Long Parliament, cherished by CROMWELL, and in a century afterwards excused by the Whig Ministers of GEORGE 11. And whilst we venture to insist that more might have been done by the Governments of Queen VicsrontA to mitigate, if they could nut wholly repeal this very odious branch of taxation, we most readily acknowledge that the present Minister and his colleagues have accomplished much in the way of reduction even under this head. Mr. GouLnunx, for example, some years ago opened the beer trade, a proceed ing which, whatever may have been the partial inconveniences thst have resulted from it in the abuse of the beer-shop- Mensing system, must be allowed to have been a great boon to the poor consumer. The present Ministry have, as in the articles of glass, stained paper, small stamps, &c., struck oil various small branches of duty, the aggregate amount of .which is still so large as to make it matter of unaffected astonishment to us, and we heartily congratulate the Go vernment on the fact. that upon the whole year there should actually result an increase of Excise income to the amount of 109,270!., minus an inconsiderable decrease on the quarter of 5,7841. The Excise has now existed 'AK: years. The first collection (at that time not an annual one) VMS in 1643 ; and was as; arbitrarily levied as all the other in.- posts collected during the arbitrary reign of CHARLES I. After being still more severely exacted during the Protectorate, and abused, increased, and misappropriated by that royal misdemeanant, CHARLES 11., in his usual manner, it was finally organised by Sir ROBERT WALPOLE, under GEORGE 11., in 1741. The product for Great Britain was then 3,760,000/. It is true that in the lapse of one century it has now risen to 12,000,000/. and upwards. Nevertheless we should be delighted to see 1846 distinguished by a Lola generous, and large effort at least to commence the total re peal of these duties. On looking at the articles of decrease, in addition to the "Customs," we are glad to find that they consist of a frac r!onal item of 160/. (on an aggregate of more than 4,000,0001. taxes), and 134,8281. on the amount of the Property-tax. At the fact of this decrease, protesting as 7e have never ceased to do, against the adoption of so un j ust, so impolitic, so clumsy (albeit it has proved so productive) an expedient for enlarging the public revenue in the thirtieth year of an unin terrupted peace, as the imposition of a war-tax, we should rather rejoice than grieve, did we not consider, for the rep s ssn assigned in our article of Saturday last, that this decrease is perhaps apparent, only, not real, and attributable in fact t the remission of previously collected contributions on in tomes below the minimum of 1501. On the other hand, the Post- cffice shows an increase 0f16,000/. on the year, corrobo rated by a similar result, to the amount of 9,000/. on the quar ter. The Crown Lands, which have produced 10,000/. mo e on the last than in the preceding quarter, exhibit an im provement, for the quarter just terminated, of 20,0001, a pro portion that warrants the assumption that the extension i,t their net rental from 135,000 e to 145,000/. is by no means the measure of their permanently improved value. The " Miscellaneous" heads yield a total increase on the year of 240,000/. The general result of this statement is a decrease of 570,000/. on the quarter, but not more that 235,000/. on the financial year. We are sorry, indeed. to per ceive that there is a serious increase for 1845 on the " Charge for Permanent Debt," as compared with 1844, amounting ti nearly 1,000,0001., and that that f or Terminable Annuities- his distitoslied itself by only so small a sum, from what it stood at for 1844, as 5,100/. Oar accounts from Madrid arc to the 6th init. Great preparations were in progress for a grand levee to be held at Court on the 19th, in honour of her MAJESTY'S birthday. MAZZAREDO, the Captain-General (4* Madrid, had left for Paris on a tnission, it was said, relative to the proposed rail way from Madrid to Bilboa. The Political Chief had issued a proclamation, announcing that the authorities had mad( :arrangements by which the fortl coming municipal election , would be made with the utmost impartiality, and ,the law enforced. No p - ablic transactions took place on the Bourse. The Paris papers are &lay occupied with the affairs of Algiers and the letter o Marshal BUGEAUD. It is now ad rn;tted on all hands to be genuine, and strange, to Pay, the G )vernment, if we are to believe the official journals, have made up their minds to I;:abanit to the insult. Indeed, o. of these papers contai , :a an article heaping the most fulsot t , praises ou this eccentric character. Had it appeared in at of those not under the influence of Government, we sliould --- • - brave and noble Marshal," says the Epoque, " pursue your bright career, and rest assured that France will not forget your sere-leer. Your name will remain attached to that land of Africa which your arms have made illustrious, by the side of those of Serino, Mautus, SYLLA, CAESAR, and BELLSA MITS. The esteem and gratitude of the country will indem nify you for the passionate attacks of a jealous and ha rassing press ; and those very attacks will afford you an additional likeness to men, whose memory dies not !" The Journal des Debuts writts in a more sober strain, and ill-conceals the annoyance which this outbreak at the present time has caused to the Ministry. The following is an ex tract from an article in that paper on the subject :—" We published without any remark the letter addressed by Mar shal BuGreatoe to the Prefect of the Dordogne, because we considered it unnecessary to attach to it an exaggerated importance. The commentaries which have been passed on it iu several journals have not caused us to change our opinion. First of all we cannot attribute to this private communication any official character, and we cannot he lieve that it was destined to be indiscreetly published as has been done. We are well persuaded that if the Governor General of Algeria had had any observations to make to the Government under which he serves, he would have employed a more regular channel, and used more measured language. We, therefore,shall assign to this; letter its veritable importance in considering it only as one of those eccentric outbreaks to which Marshal BUGEAUD has by this time accustomed every one. Evidently he does not bear in mind in what times and in what con try we live. One would almost say that his long sojourn out of France has caused hin to forget its customs. We say it sincerely, we regret to see a man like him not knowing how to accept better the institutions of his time; we regret to see allied to such great qualities so great a feebleness of character." The KING, who, Irons alt accounts, has been greatly distressed by the disasters in Algeria, has offered bursaries in the Royal College to such mem bers of the families of the officers who fell as are disposed to receive them. The Journal des J)ebats publishes the following interesting account of the present position of ABD-EL-KADER, and the preparations made to oppose hint ; but it is evident., from the statement, that these preparations are made in the dark, as no one cau tell on what part of th - at frontier this enterprising and indefatigable chi.l will make his appearance : " Our private letters and the African journals announce that Abd-el-Kader passed by the little town of Nedroma, four leagues to the south-east of the port of Ghazaouat, on September 24, the day after the catastrophe of Colonel Montaguac, proceeding towards the Trara country, which extends along the left bank of the Tanta. The Kabyle tribes of the Tafua submitted of their own accord in 1842, without combats Or razzias, when Mohammed Ouled el-Scheik had recourse to the support of our arms to be delivered from the tyranny of Abd-el-Kader. This circumstance proves that they have not had any other motive for their recent revolt beyon I the preaching of the fanatics sent from Morocco by Abd-el- Kader before he appeared himself. Letters which appear marked with exaggeration, attribute to him a force of 10,000 men, of whom 4,000 are horsemen. In the Trara country, he is within two days' journey of Lelle-Magheura, about the saute distance from Tlemcen, and four days' InarCh from Oran ; but he can reduce theie distances one-half by making forced marches with his cavalry. The ex-Emir had attempted unsaccessfully in the spring to penetrate into Al geria by the south ()lithe side of thedesert, and he found him self obliged to renounce the attempt in consequence of the re sistance offered hint by the Hamianes-Cheragas and the Lag houats, supported by the proximity of our column, on the hue of Sahara. At present he penetrates on the north-west, by the sea coast, adroitly choosing the moment when the troops of the Tlemcen division were occupied in pate ing down the insurrec tion fomented by his emissaries. Probably he has no intention of remaining in ehe mountains of Trare, which are neigboure ing to the tea, and where he would soon be hunted down. We are apprehensive of hearing shortly that he has marched towards the south-east, to revolt the province of Mascara, the Hachein, the Djaffra, the neighbours of the Fates ' who them selves touch on the Beni-Oaraghres and the Ouarauseris countries, where Bou- Maze, at the head of 1,500 horsemen and 2,500 foot soldiers, according to Groeral Lamoriciere's estimate in his report. The different corps destined to stop his march, to turn his flank, and to pursue him, in order to prevent his attempting to reinstate himself in the country of :,is ancient power, the column of General Bourjolly, re inforced by two battalions, is posted on the Mum, having in a second line the column of Colonel St. Arnault, the commandant of Orleausville. General lie veu, who commands at Milianah, proceeds to Chelif, behind Orleansville, to watch the extremity of the Ouarauseris chain of mountains. On the lower Mina we have the Kalifa Side el Arabi, an inveterate enemy of Abd el-Kader, with six hundred horse. In the district of Tlemcen General Cavaignac, whom Colonel de Barrai has joined, has taken his position on the Western Isser, a day's march to the north of Tlemcen, on the way to Trara. Ge neral Lamoriciere, who has arm ived at Oran with two bat talions, has also taken an excellent position. He has been joined by General Korte, who is placed half way between Oran and the Desert. In front of Oran he has also placed Colonel Esterhazy, with a large body of cavalry, and he him self, at the head of five battalions, is on the road to Tlemcen, in order to watch more narrowly the movements of Abd-el- Kader, and to watch lest he should attempt to cross the 'raffia. Colonel Gery commands at Mascara. He has not many men under his command, but he can be easily reinforced, should Abd-el-Kader attempt to enter by that route." The Presse, the Constitationnel, and some other Opposition journals, make bitter comment on the armicles in some Lou. don journals relative to the late disasters. Tht se comments are not justified to their full extent, but it cannot be denied, at the same time, that they have had some provocation. Certain parties on this side of the water seem to encourage a reciprocal bad feeling between the two countries. Accounts from Italy state that complete tranquillity had been restored in the Legations. The insurgents who had escaped were said to be making their way towards Leghorn where they hoped to embark.

Sir G.

The weather was surpassingly fine, and its genial influence was shown by an early influx of visitors of every grade, 1) . 1 " special" ai well as by the. ordinary trains, and by every variety of vehicles that could be brought in requisition. In short, saving that some mur murings were heard now and then at he decision with regard to Jenny Wren, and more p irticularly at the late period at which the question was agitated, it is impossible that the anticipations of those whose interest in the race was not warped by pecuniary involvements, could have been more completely realised. It was truly a "great day," and it is satisfactory to add, that its interest was not lessened by excessive speculation. Having given the prices at starting, it is only necessary to allude to the betting in the town before leaving for the heath, for the purpose of pointing out its chief feature; this was the sudden rise of Vol-au-Vent, who, from an almost outside figure, ran up to 10 to 1, and became a " regular pat." The racing, preceded by the sale of Mr. Edwards's brood mares, commenced at one o'clock, with the Royal Stakes; the Cesarewitch, with an interval of one hour, came next, and the other events succeeding with the customary half hoar allowance; the last race on the card was brought to an is •ue in ample time to permit those who arrived in the morn to return to Chcsterford for the special train.

The horses were started by Mr. Hibbard, but under the superintendence of Lord G. Bentimk, and were got off in admirable style at the first attempt. Jet took the lead directly they quitted the post, fellowed by Nottingham. The Amaryllis filly, Clumsy, Paint Brush, Ruff, The. Laird o' Cockpen, Boarding-School Miss, and several other light weigh's ; the heavy division, and most conspicuously The Baron, Intrepid, General Pollock, Vol-au-Vent, overpaced, being absohitely last. They ran in nearly this way to the new ground, when the field began to scatter, and Jet, Clumsy, The Laird o' Cockpen, and Nottingham, who broke down here, disappeared from the flout rank. Ruff, Boarding. School Miss, and Paint Brush now went on together on the ;eft, a body of six or seven lying on the right, Baron being about tenth. This order remained to the Bushes, where Paint Brush was beaten, and The Baron began to look dangerous: Half-way down the hill he took the third place, and in the bottom, Boarding-School Miss having received her quietus, ,he went up to RIX, defeated him without a race, went on with the running, and won very easy by a length, Wee Pet, who came on Ruff's retirempnt, following him home, and obtaining the second place. Vol. au-Vent struggled on to the end, and was placed third, the mare beating him cleverly; Plantagenet was fourth, Intrepid, Boarding-School Miss, and Ruff next, wider, but tolerably well up.

THE MASTER PASSION.—The reputation of Mr. Colley Grattan, the popular author of " Highways and By and "The Heiress of Bruges," as a writer of highly entertaining narratives, cannot but be greatly extended by th e puldicatlon of the last and best collection of his tales, under the title of " ToE MAstrEtt PAssiox," a three-volumed work, which has just issued from the press. To those who desire what is seasonable, we should recommend the author's " Recollections of the West Summer." Without wishing to be thought satirical, we may add, that such as feel any inter( st in the pri:ceedings of rimpant Orangemeo, or furious Repeaters, may, perhaps, find amusement in his "Sketches of Irish Tools." For the sentimental, there is " The Love Draught;" fur the admirer of the picturesque, " The Pilgrim. if Mont Blanc," and "The Caves of GroenendA ; " for the studious, " The Philosopher of the Odenwald ; " fur the military enthusiast, " The Hero of Waterloo ; " and for the lover of the supernatuatural, "The Curate Confes4or." Be sides these admirable stories, the work contains several other!, which will amply repay the reader's perusal.
