IT is now authoritatively announced that on the 11th instant Parliament will be dissolved by Royal Proclamation. The General Election will then im mediately afterwards begin, and, being a nine day's wonder, will be rapidly completed. Early in De cember the new Parliament will have been assembled down at - Westminster, there to be formally and solemnly inaugurated by the Specch;from the Throne. As a matter of course, the Right Hon. EVELYN DENI SON will be reinducted, without opposition, into the Speaker's chair, which he has already, during so many years, filled with honour to himself and to the com plete satisfaction of both sides of the House of Commons. Out of the Address of that House to the Crown, in answer to the gracious Speech from the Throne, there will, as a matter of necessity this time, come forth an Amendment. And that Amend ment equally, as a matter of course, will turn upon the Question of the Irish Church, its Disestablish rnent and its Disendowment. That an amendment of this character will follow close upon the heels of the red-coated proposer and seconder of the Address, may be regarded as equally a matter of certainty whether reference be made or not, to the Irish Church Question in the Speech from the Throne. Supposing, for the sake of argument —what is, of course, in the last degree improbable that nothing at all, one way or the other, should be said in regard to the Irish Church in the QUEEN'S Speech on the opening of Parliament, the amend ment which would then be moved upon the Address in answer to that Speech would, in all human likelihood, resolve itself into a simple proposition for a vote of Want of Confidence in her MAJESTY'S present advisers. Supposing, on the other hand, what might at once far rather be taken for granted as a matter of inevitable necessity—namely, that the Speech from the Throne will, in ono para graph of it, have distinct reference to that Vexed Question of the Irish Church, its disestablishment and its disendowment—no matter how that paragraph may be worded, we know for a dead certainty beforehand that it cannot be satisfactory to Mr. GLADSTONE and the great mass of his more or less enthusiastic followers, the Liberal Opposition. All this we know perfectly well before hand. So distinctly indeed do we know it, that sap posing only there were an ordinary tactician now at the head of her MAJESTY'S Ministers, as Leader of the Government in the House of Commons, in the highest official capacity of all, namely, as First Lord of the Treasury—the result of all this would be known ovally well beforehand as a thing no less inevitable. Namely—that, during this very briLf winter session now immediately before us, Ministers would for cer tain be put in a minority on that prospective amend ment, and equally for certain that they would, being so put in a minority upon the amendment, hand over to the victor ions lea ler of th..) Opposition the responsibility of at once forming a new Administra tion. It is in no way discreditable to Mr. DISRAELI as a Party Chieftain that we have here immediately to add, what is already sufficiently notorious throughout the country, that in him we have now at our head as Prime Minister no ordi nary tactician. So perfect a master is he of fence, so consummate is his skill in all the arts of strategy, that it is simply impossible to predicate even now as a result in any way assured or inevitable, that with all Mr. GLADSTONE's fair prospects of meeting Par liament with a swinging majority at his back, the Leader of the Oppositon is at once to leap per saltum, before Christmas, into the post of First Lord of the Treasury. On the contrary, one is almost tempted to say that the immediate probabilities are, first, that the Opposition supporters will enormously outnumber the Govern - mentsupporters, and that, nevertheless, notwithstand ing, the Government will not go out before Christ mas as the inevitable consequence. In any case the opportunity for the country's decision, one way or the other, is now formally guaranteed to us by the authoritative announcement, this day put forth to the effect that on the 11th instant Parliament will be dissolved by Royal Proclamation. In so arranging matters for the dissolution of the present House of Commons and the electing and as sembling of the new House immediately afterwards so that all should be known and accomplished before the arrival of Christmas, Ministers have most honourably fulfilled their engagements with the out going House of Commons, and at the same time kept faith most strictly with the whole population of the United Kingdom. As distirguished public men, as statesmen of eminence, they could not have done otherwise. And yet—while saying this, it is perfectly well known that the more virulent of the opponents of the present Ministry are in the habit of speaking of Mr. DISRAELI and his colleagues as though they were the reverse of men of honour, as though they were so many political adven turers, as though they were conducting the affairs of this country by a sort of organised scheme of Parliamentary thimble-rigging. As Li berals, we must protest against the very despicable character of the imputations thus insinuated against Leaders of party as honourable, we are perfectly certain of that, as any who have ever undertaken the administration of the affairs of this country. In speaking of Mr. DISRAELI as a tactitian, or as a master of strategy, we imply thereby nothing what ever in any way discreditable to him in his capacity as a Statesman or as an Administrator. Judging from the remarks of very many of his cen sors, both within and without the walls of Parliament —not among journalists only but among the recog nised chiefs of party, now among those upon the front bench of tin Opposition, now amongAlr.DrsnAEL's own leant colleagues and supp , rters ; j,ulging fro:u the acrimony with which he is always spoken of by his principal antagonist, Mr. GLADSTONE ; pul. , ing from the bitterness with which he is perpetually allud..d to by the chief among his late colleagues in Lord DERBI's Government, the Marquis of SALISBURY; judging from the tone in which his carccr a: .d character are being continually discussed in the columns of the majority of our Liberal contemporaries, one might really a'inost be led to suppose at moments that Mr. DISRAELI had contrived to attain power and after wards to retain office by means of some dark and nefarious conspiracy. And yet, all the while, it is THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 2, 1858. perfectly notorious to ourselves, as independent Liberals, it is perfectly notorious to every sane man in the United Kingdom, that Mit/DISRAELI has so attained power, if he so retains office, he does so, he has done so, with the Gentlemen of England as his accomplices! As Leader of the Tory Party, as Leader of the Country Gentlemen of England, he has won his way to the Premiership in the face of day, without any adventitious aid, with everything, indeed, so to speak, against him, even his earlier suc cesses as a novelist, and in thus winning his way to power he has advanced to it, not secretly, but very openly—under the glare of publicity secured through the daily newspapers—his political career being pursued all the while in that most public arena in the whole world, the British House of Commons. It is discreditable to the nation, it is discreditable to Parliament, it is an outrage to the common-sense of the whole country, to depreciate a triumph won like this by a statesman sprung from the people— one who originally entering the army of letters, carrying his baton in his knapsack, has not only long since earned the right to hold it in his grasp, but has transformed it into a rod of empire. As formerly in the instance of CANNING-a triumph won like this is a triumph that it is impossible to witness without feeling proud of it. And we have reason all of us to feel proud of it, as free and independent citizens of the empire, in one word as Englishmen. Besides—it ought to bo recognised clearly enough by all our fellow-liberals and it ought to be recognised by none among them more clearly than by Mr. GLAD STONE himself —that by depreciating the character and career of the Leader of the Government, you are thereby depreciating the character and career of the Leader of the Opposition. They are contemporaries. They are rivals. They are alike sprung from the People. The one is the son of a merchant. The other is the descendant of a race of merchants. Mr. GLADSTONE had the advantage of an Univerity career. He entered the House at an early age, when fresh from college, as a member bounding easily into his seat from that delightful spring board a pocket borough. Mr. DISRAELI htd neither of these advantages. He hal to push his way into Parliament as he best could, and he had there to hold his own as he best might. An 1 yet for all that he has distanced his great rival and competi tor for the highest distinctions in the gift of the Crown. Is that Mr. DISRAELI'S crime? That he was for many years the Leader of his Party while Mr. GLADSTONE was yet a subordinate in Lis? That he has for months been Prime Minister of England, while as yet Mr. GLADSTONE has been nothing higher or nobler that one of a Ministry as Chancellor of the Exchequer? In either of their respective capacities, the one as Premier, the other as Leader of the Opposition—Mr. GLADSTONE and Mr. DISRAELI now go before the country in a position, so far, of per fect equality—as the two foremost men in all England, as men already of historical careers and reputations, as orators of resplendent ability, as statesmen aid administrators of unimpeachable honour. It is for England to choose between them. But in selecting one, she does not imply dishonour to the other. Mn. Buicarr's second election speech but partially redeems the barrenness of his first. On Monday last he confined himself wholly to retrospect; on Friday he continued his historical survey, and gave but a slight clue to his policy for the future in the expres sion of his dissatisfaction with the work of the past. There is, however, a material improvement visible. A history of politics which embraces a period of half a century in a single speech can hardly be rendered otherwise than bare and profitless even by the oratorical power of Mr. BRIGHT. But a history of the Reform struggle during the last two years is at least something to the purpose. The ground has been well worked before, but Mr. BRIGHT still finris something interesting to record, and an important item of policy to announce. The recital of the past is decidedly better than the programme, so far as it goes, of the future. Often as the story has been told, Mr. BRIGHT puts the history of the second Reform Act with novel force. Though the fact was patent to all, it was hardly fully realised that out of the sixty-one clauses proposed by the Government in their original bill, only four remain unaltered in the Act, and not one of these was of prime importance, only one indeed of any importance at all. The member for Birming ham is in many respects correct in his esti mate of the defects of the law, for in spite of all the amendments, which ought to have produced some results, it is by no means perfect. He urges that the bill must be amended at once. That the ratepaying clauses of the Act should produce five thousand distress warrants in Birmingham alone is a most deplorable result. Mr. BRIGHT has been so long occupied with Reform, that he seems unable to bid it farewell for a time, but with the majority of mankind weariness of the flesh is, after all, a serious consideration. More serious still is the fact that human life is so limited, that after a generation spent in deciding how we may be governed, it is time we got a little practice after our theory. An amended Reform Act would, doubtless, meet favour from the new House ; but it would re-open old disputes and animosities, and cause an igno minious and unnecessary delay. And whilst the bread is making the people are famishing. A host of questions of practical importance awaits the new House. The Irish Church, Education, the Liquor Traffic, and Trades Unions, stand where they did, whilst the ghosts of countless slaughtered " innocents " rise up to confront us. The necessities that have accu mulated during the Reform agitation have now become overwhelming, and will permit of no longer delay. The greatest benefits that can possibly accrue from another squabble over the Constitution are con temptible compared with the great changes which are necessary to give the languishing national life a new stimulus. A short measure to relieve the hard ship of the ratepaying clauses might be sufficient for the next session. When some of the arrears have been cleared off, then will be the time to consider more redistribution, and to discuss the results of the experiment tried with the minority clause. Mr. DOULTON has had a narrow escape. The Belgian tribunal has no doubt of his guilt, and but for want of jurisdiction would have inflicted condign punishment. The court did not acquit him, they quashed the indictment ; the offence was proved, but it had been committed in England, and was there fore out of reach. And now that all the facts have been published, and Mr. DOULTON has made by means of the press the defence which he refused to submit to the court of justice, there can be little hesitation in deciding that the verdict of the Belgian tribunal is just. Divested of the numerous irrelevant complexities which have transpired in the course of the story, the case is not one of great difficulty. In 1865 the authorities of Brussels announced their determination to execute great improvements in the Belgian capital, in particular the purification of the River Senne. These works were undertaken by Mr. DOULTON, who then sought to establish a company to provide the necessary capital. The company was formed, and a contractor was next required. After representing that he had been in treaty with some of the leading English contractors, and had not been able to secure terms equally favourable, Mr. DOULTON proposed a Belgian firm of the name of MENTION and SONS, and the contract was given to it for £589,000. But this firm had, previously to the formation of the company, undertaken to do these same works for a sum less by £lOO,OOO than that just quoted, and after the formation of the Belgian Public Works Company, Mr. DOULTON made a second contract with the MENTION firm at the lower price; that is, the Belgian Public Works Com pang were told that they could not get the work done for less than £589,000, whilst the MENTION firm were really undertaking to do it for £489,000, the difference to be paid privately to Mr. DOI:ETON. It was therefore urged against him that he appropriated part of the profits granted by MENTION and SONS to the prejudice of the company, and that he had induced the company, by frudulent representations, to take this con tract, in order that he might get the differ ence. It has been urged by Mr. DOULTON, and with reason, that this sum of £lOO,OOO was not applied to his own purposes, but that it was necessary in order to meet liabilities he had incurred in the promotion of the scheme, and therefore was applied to the business of the company. It is not to the purpose to inquire how much of this sum Mr. DouLToN received or intended to receive as the reward of his own labour. The fault he committed—and it is the essence of nearly all the frauds of commerce—is, that he kept the lower contract secret, and informed the company only of one. Ile thus misrepresented the case to the shareholders, and induced them to subscribe on a statement which was not a full exposition of the facts. llow much he gained by the business is not the prime question. The • fault he committed lies at the root of all such transactions— it is that of holding back the truth. It was done in the case of the 0 VEREND and GURNEY prospectus, in the case of the Credit Foncier profits, and in the case of the Credit iNlobilier liabilities. The example just tried at Brussels does not substantially differ from the old story, except that in England these " errors" generally bring no serious consequences, whilst in Belgium they are rewarded with fine and impri sonment.

A train, made up of first, second, and third class carriages, technically called " main line emp ties," had been despatched from the Brick layer-arms station for the use of passengers await ing it at the chief terminus at Charing-cross, and just as it arrived at the point just mentioned it came into collision with a train which had been running up to the moment of tke accident on the North Kent line. The effect of the concussion was very severe, and nine passengers received very severe injuries, hut up to the present time we have not heard that any have terminated fatally. The officials at Charing-cross refused to give any information on the subject, and although they could not, when our reporter applied for infor mation, deny that an accident had occurred, he was coolly referred to the general manager ; but where he was to be found at that particular moment the closely buttoned up official refused to say. That an accident of an alarming nature has occurred is cer tain, but for fuller information we must wait. OPENING OF TERlL—This Day. The long vacation having closed, the courts of law commenced their sitting to-day at Westmins ter-hall. The judges of the superior courts, accord-. ing to ancient custom, breakfasted with the Lord Chancellor at his rrivate residence Cromwell house, Kensington, where a large assemblage of Queen's counsel and Queen's sergeants were as sembled to meet them. The repast having been concluded, the judges proceeded in State to thi ir respective courts. In Westminster Hall a very large concourse of persons assembled to witness the imposing procession. The business in the courts was, of course, in most instances merely formal. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. GRAVESEND, Monday Morning. Arrived, Nov.

LONDON SOCIETY FOR TEACHING THE BLIND.- On Saturday afternoon a special general meeting of this society was held, under the presidency of Mr. Griffiths, at the Institution, Upper Avenue road, Regent's-park, for the purpose of appointing trustees. Messrs J. 0. Wright, F. P. Ward, and E. P. C. Hanson wore, after some formal business had been transacted, un•►nimously elezted. The society was iustslled in 1833, the bliai people admitted being taught reading by Mr. Lucas's method, together with other useful branches of education. LUXURIANT AND BEAUTIFUL HAIR.-MRS. S. A. ALLEN'S WORLD'S HAIR RESTORER OR DRESSING never fails to quickly restore Grey or Faded Hair to its youthful colour and beauty, and with the first application a beautiful gloss and de lightful fragrance is givon to the Hair.

SUNDAY, NovembEit _ _ _ The a•tticle in the Journal de St. Petersbourg, which 124 - 3 caused so much excitement here, is treated with absolute silence by all the chief official papers. The Moniteur, Mc=lard, Constitutionnel, and France pass it by with the contempt which, to speak fairly, it deserves. The article directly threatened France with a Prusso-Russian alliance in case the Western Power attacked Germany. The - re is nothing objectionable either in forming this resolve or in directly announcing it, but the tone of the article was so offensive, not to say brutal, as to constitute an international insult. For once the Patrie is right in asking " Why was this firebrand thrown into the midst of Europe ?" The onus of disturbing public confidence is now very gratuitously assumed by Russia and Austria. The arrival of Queen Isabella at Paris has been nicely timed so as to accord with the date of the Court's departure for CompKgne. It is said that the ex-Queen will remain only a month in Paris ; but we are furnished with no clue as to the next place where her Court will attempt to find rest for the soles of their feet. Isabella will not, we are assured, go to Brighton, and she cannot go to Rome, so that her future destination must remain a somewhat interesting enigma. Marfori has not thought it advisable to brave public opinion in the French capital. He has resigned, and his resignation has been perforce accepted by his disconsolate royal friend. Hence, probably, the determination to remain in Paris but a month. The separation, of course, could not be expected to last longer. Marfori must be highly flattered by the reflection that the Queen, who has been obliged to relinquish his company for a while at Paris, would not go to Madrid without him to save her throne. The report that M. Berryer was seriously ill is aggerated. Ho is only slightly indisposed. Rossini is said to be getting worse. The Irish Fishery Commissioners who were appointed to examine oyster culture in France, with a view to adopting it in Ireland, have concluded their labours. They have travelled 2,000 miles, and have visited fourteen of the chief places where oyster-culture is carried on. Their conclusions are decidedly favourable to the extension of this useful art to Ireland. Oysters, however, are getting dearer in France, the spat season having largely failed this year. Les Missions Clotholives gives an account of terrible barbarities practised on the Christians in Cochin-China. The natives rose in insurrection, attacked a fort, killed the Annamite sergeant and three privates, and burnt down the building. They then scoured the neighbourhood, captured all the Christians they could find, and put them to the torture to make them renounce their newly-adopted faith. One poor native acknowledged himself to be a Christian, and an order was immediately given to bind his arms and legs, and throw him into a burning cauldron. The unfortunate man cried out, omy God, my God !" But the populace shrieked in reply, "It is useless ; your God will not come to save you." Another Christian, named Tieng, was also given up, and suffered a similar fate. Tieng succeeded in breaking the cords which bound him, and fled to a little river close by; but he was soon recaptured and thrown into the flames. Three other Christians gave way before such fearful torture, and declared that they were heathens. Other horrible atrocities were committed. The list of victims amounts to twelve men, four women, and eight children. Several of the children were impaled on lances before their parents' eyes. The trial of the three women who poisoned their hus• bands to marry their paramours will commence shortly. It will undoubtedly be one of the most famous criminal cases ever heard in France. On Saturday the accused were confronted with each other, after the French system. This examination lasted above four hours, and during its continuance the police had the utmost difficulty in preventing the women tearing each other to pieces. - THE TVEATHA TABLE.-THIS DAY.

REMARKS. The barometrical pr.ssures over our islands differ little from those on Saturday: yesterday they were lower everywhere, especially in the N. An increase has taken place since last evening in ncrthem and western districts, but it has not extended to southern stations, where however, tho readings are now highest : a difference of nearly seven tenths of an inch exists between those at Nairn and Rochefort. Temperature yesterday was generally high : a considerable and general diminution has since occurred, amounting to 16 deg. at Aber deen. Southerly winds were prevalent yesterday: they were strong on our southern and western coasts, and a gale was felt at Holyhead, which subsided during the night. Westerly winds of moderate force are generally reported this morning, but there are calms at the entrance of the Channel. On southern and western coasts rain has fallen. In the N. the sky is clear, but on other coasts it is cloudy, with fog and mist in the S.W. of England. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. ---- -~- CHELSEA. —Messrs. Hughes, Stansfeld, and Taylor, who were appointed to arbitrate between the claims of Sir Henry Hoare and Mr. George Odger, have recommended the retirement of the latter. WESTSIINSTER.—Both Mr. Mill and Captain Grosvenor have requested their supporters to give each of them a vote, and not to plump. GREENWICH.—Sir Henry Watson Parker is prepared to come forward in the Conservative interest. BOSTON.—The Liberals have united their strength in suporting their candidates, Messrs. Staniland and Jones. BRlGHTON.—According to the Brighton Gazette, Mr. W. C. L. Bashford, an influential resident Conservative, is prepared to contest the borough on thoroughly Conservative principles. The statement that Mr. Moor, the independent candidate for Brighton, will receive the supp;rt of the Conservative party in the borough, is incorrect. Mr. Moor's address has entirely destroyed whatever Conserva tive feeling existed in his favour. It is expected that a Constitutional candidate will at once be brought forward. DENBIGHSHIRE.—Mr. John Lloyd, a wealthy tradesman, contests this county. It is supposed that he comes out in opposition to the Liberal member, but he does not say to which party his support will be given. Noßwiuli.—Sir Henry Stracey is the Conservative can didate. SOUTH NOBFOLIC.—The Liberals are endeavouring to organise an opposition to the return of Mr. C. S. Read and Mr. E. Howes. A meeting is to be held at Wymondham on the subject on Tuesday. Tn .LEE.—The O'Donoghue has rr e his constituents in Tralee. He defended his opposition to Fenianism, as being a conspiracy of a wild and mischievous character. He declared that he shrank from the Fenian programme, and abhorred many of its views as anti-Irish, and would resist them to the last drop of his blood. He pro claimed his full approval of Mr. Gladstone's policy. The statement of the hon, gentleman was received as satis factory. DUBLIN UNIVERSITY. —There are now four candidates in the field for the representation of the University of Dublin—Mr. J. T. Ball, the Solicitor-General, Sir Edward Grogan, Mr. Purcell, Q.C., and Mr. Anthony Lefroy. The medical men of Dublin have set on foot a movement amongst themselves to secure the return of Sir Dominic Corrigan for professional reasons, and a sub scription list opened for the purpose contains several large sums. Lord Derby is recovering from the very painful attack of gout from which he has recently been suffering. Atnonst the subscribers to the W ilberforce fund for the maintenance of the Theologicel Celloge of Cuddesclon as a permanent institution is Mr. Disraeli for ..£5O. Letters from Pau say that M. Marfori has humbly tendered his resignation as intendento of Queen Isabella's household and recommended her Majesty to replace him by another Spanish grandee. It is said that as soon as Queen Isabella comes to Paris she will send her son, the Prince of the Asturias, to study at the Lyceo Bonaparte. The nomination to the Chancellorship of the Eliirf a a, burgh University took place on Friday. Lord Justice Gene ral Inglis nui Mr. Gladstone were proposed for the office The show of hands is stated to have been nearly equal for each candidate, but it was officially declvred to be ill favour of tho Lord Justice General, MAGAZINE DAY. --o- BLACKWOOD.—" Madame Aurelia" is brought to a conclusion, and the end is toll in a dramatic way, which is impressive and interesting. The courage and devotion of the unfortunate Baroni contrast strangely with the cunning and treachery of his wife. This sketch is chiefly remarkable for its skill in the description of characters. We meet here also with the first part of ",Doubles and Quits : a Comedy of Errors." It promises wonder fully:well so far, and has some ( nt.)rtaining points in it. "The Coming Elections" is the title of the political article. It treatschiefly of Mr. GladstonJ's assertions and statements, and then considers the address of Mr. Disraeli to ti's cmn titu ns. An able analys:s appears of the " Two I'o'i ies" put before the (lectors to choose from, and the r spon sibility that res's upon them is duly shaCoved forth. " Old and New" is a ve-y interc..t ing sk Acl), which pits th ) subjcic.,t it tr. ats of very fairly before us, and is instructive to peruse. In " Cornell is O'Duwd" we find a caper on the " Spanish Revolution," which is ap propriate. It is truly said that the last " 13Jurbon Sovereign of Europe has only her own folj;es and vices to thank for her fall." " Disestablish:neat, and Dean Alford, or the Church of the Fatur ~" is the topic that just now engages attention so extensively, and suggests some more problems for Mr. Gladstone to solve. "Lewes's history of Philo sophy" is a solid article that will rejoice the stu dent, and is successful in its desire to realer justice to its subject. DUBLIN.--" My Own Story" is proceeded with, and the style is glowing. The character of the heroine is quite natural, and wo already feel regret at the sad lot which awaits her in the future, through the ineldlesomeness of offi cious friends and ambitious relatives. " Classic and Mediaeval Caricature" is a paper on the subject that is carefully prepared, and will suit the taste of the studious and reflective. "Up and Down the World" is the continuation of a romantic story that is well describe I. "The Theatre Royal, Dublin, from 1833 to 1837," presents us with a good deal of information of one kind and another connected with histrionic matters. " Haunted Lives" at last ap proaches completion. " Identity of Irish and-High land Fictions" is the last article met with, and is curious in its way, and will surprise same by its re searches and discoveries. FRASER.—The current number of Fraser unfor tunately shows no less weightiness of style and subject than has been comahon with it of late. The first article is on Oxford, the secon I on " Facts and Phantasms on the Ecclesiastical question ;" the last in the number is on Spain. It will this be seen that the problems of the day find a place in its pages, but even the lighter parts are ted:oas. " Vikram and the Vampire," of which we li we had several instalments, is not likely to attract many English readers, while " Oatnessiana," proceeds slowly and heavily. "The Mancinis," an historical episode, and " Poetical Theology," are among the most animated papers. TEMPLE BAR.—The clever story of " Kitty," as it may be called par excellence, is continued at some length, and the reader will find plenty of attraction in its lively sketches. There is, besides, one most noticeable scene, in which the contradictory damsel tries the effect of speaking the truth, and discloses to her near friend what she had much rather have kept secret had circumstances permitted. It is also an amusing incident when the stiff man of the world, Sir George Bartelettes, paid a visit of inquiry to the Bohemian, Mrs. Cornford, and the meeting between passing stateliness and vulgar practices is entertaining in the extreme. " Percy Bysshe Shelley" forms the subject of a sketch, and we are taken back to the "dawning twilight" of the present century to fol low the fortunes of one whose life was so unhappy. All that refers to his career is sad and yet attrac tive. "Katie Grey" is a retrospect of a melanch 31y life brightened at last by the determination to minister to the wants of others. " Madam) de Lafayette's" career is put before us in a ver y in ___ teresting form. "Six Years in too Prisons of England" presents the reader with a large amount of information on such matters. " Vera" is con tinued and is entertaining in this instalramt. " A Lucky Disappointment" commences an attrae:iv,! tale, pleasantly told. " Wome i and their Satirists" is an article that summarises much that has b3on said and written on this subj an 1 "A. LLy of the Spanish ItevAution" is a spirited ehroaiel3 of ,hat event. BELGRAVIA.—This magazine contains a gnat variety of subjects both in prose and verse. " C oar lotte's Inheritance" is nearly concludel in t'li3 its repetition series. "My Enemy's Daughter" i 3 a new story, that is eventful to begin with. " L - mion Clubs," by W. Thornbury, are continued. " Wo.ne and Men" is a sketch that refers to some of the con- troversies that prevail just now o n this topic. " Bound to John Company" is continued, and its contents are most strikingly told. "Latters from Lilliput," by Georga Augustus Sala, is in the usual harum-scarum style of that author, full of anima- ion and repartee. " Artists in Love and Poisc n' tells some strange tales that will please readers of ►h~ sensational school. The illustrations, with verses at tached to them, are as effective as ever. "Jeffray de Mettray," " Simona," and others are well rendered, and form an agreeable change after the prose selec tions. "Novelists' Law" is a sketch that contains a good de l of troth in its strictures on the lic.m3c that some writers of fiction permit to themselves. CouNHILL.—" That Boy of Norcett'4" is the title of a new story that is powerfully told, and bids fair to prove interesting in the plot of the narrative, and the whole tenour of it commands attention. , 4 The Turkomans and other tribes of the north east Turkish frontier" is a paper well worthy of perusal. The political reader may consider it with great advantage, and draw from it m)re conclusions as to the course this country should pursue in the emergency before us. " The Murder of Escovedo" calls attention to the dreary period of Spanish history. "Lattice Lisle" is continued in some lively chapters. The girl is a pleasing one, and deserves a better fate than that of living with a crabbed old grandmother. " The Approach- Transit of Mercury" is a paper that will satisfy the taste of some readers. 6 ' Critical Elections" is an article that treats of the coming appeal to the country. " From an Island' is a pleasing sketch. " Our Little War with the Naikaas" is the "con cluding paper, met with in this serial. LONDON SOCIETY.—This magazine, as usual, con tains much to attract and interest the general reader, and pro3e - and verse, tale and senti ment, alternate with each other. " Box and Cox" is a story of Indian adventure, told very " How I stood for the Hallamshire Boroughs" is a smart sketch suitable to the present crisis. A sketch of velocipedes describes the last Paris mania. " Ingenious Aids to Household Econo my" are enumerated in a concise sketch that will be continued hereafter. " The Married Bache lor " tells the result of that dangerous experi ment being made in a particular instance. A pleas ing paper is that called " Poppies in the Corn," which is an appropriate subject for autumn, and well sustains the reputation of the summer sketch by the same writer. " The Maiden's Oracle" is a fragment in verse, which is illustrated by a frontispiece ; it is pleasing in its way, and the lines are well done. COLBURN'S UNITED SERVICE for November sus tains its long-established character for dealing out impartial justice to either service, for fidelity to both, without any undue partiality to either daring *blue' jacket or captivating soldier's tunic. Here we have another capital yarn on " Meu, Measures, and Mis takes," a standing accident in military matters Notes oa the History of the Thitish Soldier," by Dr. Gordon, is follow,cl by "Military E lucation," and the "Islan Is and Co ists of the Persian Gulf," by Lieut. Low, admirably itlastrated, at a time when we cannot know too inuc'a nor too S3Oll of a locality where we may have to box the com pass in right earnest before a very long time pass over the fiery regions of the E ist. " torical Records of the Gallant Ragiment" will well repay perusal as being associated with th) glorious career of our brothers ia arins. " Military Hygiene in France" is an excereat epitoina of the Way they manage things in France in a way well worthy of English looking after. " The Prussia a , Army, German Unity, alai British Military Policy' unmasks the gross hypocrisy manifested hitherto by the Vie noir of Germany. Notwithstanding the "mendacious leaders" of certain Eaglish journals in favour of " the spoliator and oppressor of the Danes and the Poles, she deserves little sympathy from the heart of the British nation," and will re ceive no help in the day of need, notwithstanding any dynastic links or delusive expectations, as time will prove. MACMILLAN'S MAGAZINE for October and No vember.—Very full of interest to the readers of Macmillan are these two numbers. Mr. Helps ever fresh and delightful. " Realanh" c3:1103 to a c mclu sion, and the holiday meeting of the "Friends in Council" breaks up to the regret of the whole party, reader included. The shrewd sense, the humorous fancy, the sound jadgment, the wide experience , and right feeling perceptible in every chapter show (hat the author has lost nothing of the qualitie3 that male his former works so attractive, while t4e whole history of Rcal:nah and his critics is r epldfC with suggestive tolc';es of our own national an d social perplexities. Miss Yonge's " Chaptor of Pearls" coatinues with unabated interest. It is a thrilling passage of one of the most stormy aau troubl )113 times in French history, and the ella" racters are drawn with the skilful deelitieatioa of the author of the "Heir of Redcliffe." " The Fo ,a of the People" is an ether subject which W s through these two numbers, and very ably and en tertainingly is it discussed by Mr. Harry Chester' " What can be done for the Agricultural Li bourer ?" is a question that has puzzled many a philosopher and philanthropist. It is examined 3t some length, and with considerable ability, by a writer who is evidently conversant with his subject. Among the poetical contributions in the October number is a touching sonnet, by the Archbishop of Dublin, " On a brother and sister who died At Abergele." ST. JAMES'S MAGAZ INE.—Mrs. Riddell's clever though painful story of " A Life's Assize" is con' tinned with interest. The unfortunate hero finds himself dully installed in the Essex parsonage under his cousin's name, and at the very outset of his assumed career meets with uulooked-for difficulties. " Election Prospects" are discussed in a manner not likely to prove agreeable to Mr. Gladstone. Th e November mhteors form the topic of an interesting paper, in which it is remarked that for nine hun dred years at least the November shower (of old, however, an October shower) had exhibited itself with more or less brilliancy from year to year. sketch of the career of Madame Victor gag° is full of interest. An article entitled " N c4 Men but Measures" would carry u 3 back to the old mischievous days when in the eyes of a Whig a Tory could do no right, and vice versa' A satirical imitation of a popular novel has nothing to commend it in taste or ability, and five chapter s are fully sufficient, without a continuation. TINSLEY'S MAGAZINE belongs somewhat to the " fast" school of serials. A novel by the author of " Guy Livingstone" occupies the first place, and " Criticisms on Contemporaries" are conducted in the fashion of styling the works criticised " stupid poem," " wretched nonsense," " evoked from the blankest abysses of a very blank mind," " servile but wretchedly unsuccessful imitation," &c. We have heard before of the courtesy of criticism, but that has apparently gone out of fashion with other goa d old qualities. " All for Love," a tale of two fools, in two chapters, is a specimen of the style of litera ture in favour with Tinsley's, being intended , seemingly, as a satire on a recent story in another magazine after the new and not approved fashion. CHAMBERS'S JOURNAL. Part LVIII. manifest and very decided is the change for the better in the new series of Chambers's Journal, which has become more animated, more readable, and in every way more attractive. The new story, " Found Dead," though belonging to the sensa tional school, is full of ability and vigour, though already in these early chapters the clue to the mystery is indicated. "The Romance of a Book stall," " Affairs of Honour," " Wrecked o n tb° G'oodwins," " Face Enamelling," "A Hindu View of the Late Eclipse," are among the many topics ranging from lively to severe which are discussed is this part. GOLDEN HOURS,—._I pleasant little miscellany of a semi-serious cast. One of its bast pap.rs is oir "The Llw of Consid,:ration," by the author of "Mary Powell." We have, basiles, an essty ott " Wit and Humour," by Elward What,:ly, ALA and a seniiOle paper on "Domestic Servants." charming little poem, "Nothing but a Song," 13 founded on the same idea which suggested, to gr• Browning one of his most popular poems. Tire Bno.tpwAv.---The photographs of miller° French celebrities give us this thus a sketch of the career of M. Ttiiers. " Three American Poets" supply material for another biographical paper, the subjects being very different from the vigorous ana warlike statesman and orator of the Corps Legislaa James Hann iy continues his appreciative " Stu liO 3 on Thackeray. The several serial stories proceed is their accustomed manner. THE ARGOSY.—Mrs. Henry Wood's novel of "Annie Hereford," is rapidly approaching its con elusion, and already the mystery is unravelled• " Steadiness of Purpose" is a paper containing soul@ wise advice; and there are but a few other articles of a light and entertaining character. THE MONTII.—The subjects in The Month rang° over a very wide surface. Beginning with " Meditations of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius, ' they come down to "The Life and Genius of Steele," and to " A Nlissionary Journey in South America." " Euloxia, a Picture of the Fifth Cen tury," and "Anne Severin," are continued ; and the Library Table has a plentiful supply of nevi' books. ONCE A WEEK.—There is abundant variety for readers of alt tastes in this agreeable miscellany , and plentiful illustrations to enhance the attraction s of the prose. The articles are many of them 1 0 , 1 , of interest ani animation, and " Once a Week " may fairly take its place among the most attractive of the large and increasing number of magazines. THE ENGLISH MECHANIC records the progreee made in the various departments of engineering science and mechanical invention. There are be" sides articles on several subjects interesting to th e English mechanic, such as "The Labour Market Co-operation," " Working Mens' Clubs," &c. THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE.—We meet With several agreeable papers in this number. 16 Not i° Society" is brought to a conclusion in the sam e vivid and lively style in which it has progressed throughout. "On some Pleasant Books" is pleasant chapter, summoning our old friends froiS their bookshelves to beguile our troubles and oa r cares. " The Elections," not content with filling the columns of the press, are intruding themselg e ,l into the magazines. " A Walk Round Clerkenwel l is a well-written a n d i n t erest i ng essay , bill ° i curious lore. HARDWICICE'S SCIENCE GOSSIP is an agreeable medium for the communication of scientific facts W such as shrink from technical terms and treatises. THE MILD SEASON.—A» a proof of the w aren ° mildness of the season, wo may mention that Mr. lirilliarn Boyer, of Aldormasten, Barks, has a second crop of ra'p' berries iu his garden, the fruit being much finer than the first crop. Ana ROYAL DOCKS AT CORK.--We are glad to that the works of the Royal Docks in Cork harbour all progressing at a ver y sa ti s f ac t ory pace.
