In private life he was equally irrepr oac h a bl e ; an d, though many members of our Royal Family have earned and continuel to deserve a great amount of popular esteem, yet thati 'Prince must indeed be considered fortunate who,. !leaves behind him a fairer reputation than the Duke! of Cambridge. We are informed that his Royal Highness was at tacked by indisposition on the 13th ult., with cramp in the stomach, but after the severity of the attack had passed away all danger was thought to be over. The Royal Duke was attended by Dr. Francis Haw pins, Dr. Bright, Dr. W a t son , M r . Keate, and Mr. J. Illiogworth, and it was judged up to within the last few days that he would recover, although suffer ing from loss of appetite and much debility. Wt deeply regret to say that the Royal Duke recentl3 became so debilitated and prostrated, not being able to sustain any nourishing substance on his stomach chat he continued to sink rapidly during the last 24 hours,until at the above-mentioned hour hisßoyal High ness expired without a struggle. Her Royal High ness the Duchess of Cambridge, who during her royal husband's illness has evinced the greatest solicitude, was at the bedside of his Royal Highness up to the minute of his dissolution, and it is needless to observt in a very distressed state of mind at her irreparablt bereavement. His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, on leave of absence from his militar3 duties in Ireland, was also present at the death of his Royal Highness.

Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, or receipt of the mournful information, was most pain fully affected, although partially prepared for air fatal result of her brother's illness, having been witl him at Cambridge House in the early part of the day. It is difficult to say what was the positive cause of death ; gout, and a complication of disorders of the stomach, is however stated to be the cause. _ _ A royal messenger was dispatched to Lord Join Russell with the sad news shortly after the Roya Duke expired ; also to Viscount Palmerston, by whom A Cabinet courier was to be sent to the King of flanover, at Hanover • the King of the Belgians, th( Hereditary Grand Du ke of Mecklenburg Strelitz, and the other connexions of the Royal Family in Germany.

" Sir,—l have received your letter, requesting me te allow my name to be used as one of the patrons of ac association for raising, by Id. subscription, ' a pod► man's national monument to the memory of the late Sit, Robert Peel.'

He knew the immediate penalty he would have to psy for .he service he was rendering the nation, but he relies' with prophetic faith upon the future verdict of the people. In the moment of his severest trial, when deli vering the speech which closed his official career After speaking of the ties of party which he had ievered for ever, of the political friendships he had con verted into bitter enmities, of the floodgates of calurnn) he had let loose upon himself—after recounting mourn fully but without repining, the sacrifices he bad made, he turned for sympathy and justice to the mass of al( people and closed his last speech as Minister with the yellowing words:— "' It may be that I shall leave a name sometimes re membered with the expressions of goodwill in the abed( of those whose lot it is to labour and to earn their daily bread by the sweat of their brow, when they shall re iruit their exhausted strength with abundant and untaxed food, the sweeter because it is no longer leavened by s iense of injustice.'

FREEZING, MAKING AERATED WATERS, &e,—T HE PRACTICAL VIEWS OF THE NEPAOLESE MISSION.—The members of the Mission have lately been very active in their investigations of the various manufactures of the metropolis. One of the objects of the Mission is evidently to introduce some of the most useful contrivances of British ingenuity to their countrymen, as is instanced in the fact of their having made frequent visits recently to the establishment of Mr. Masters, adjoining the Royal Polytechnic Institution. The Prince's object in thus honouring this establishment has been to make himself thoroughly acquainted with the construction , 4 and mode of using Mr. Masters' inventions for producing ice s e N with a by artificial means during the hot season , and in I ndia.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. RCHRONICLE. —The House of Commons will this evening be called upon to reconsider its late hurried eland random decision on the question of Sunday Ls- i p ileour in the Post-office. Mr. Locke will move for an! gaddress to the Crown, praying that the whole subject, inay be made the matter of official inquiry, and that,; ay such investigation, the Sunday collection and; delivery of letters may be resumed. We own that' -we do not exactly perceive the necessity for the first '.:' part of the Member for Honiton's motion ; for it is perfectly well known that the practicability of reduc ing the amount of Sunday labour throughout the Post . office establishment of the United Kingdom is a' question which has for many months past engaged the earnest attention of the Government—long before my agitation arose respecting it—and that, in fact, very considerable reductions have from time •to time been effected. Nor do we altogether like the air of compromise apparent in the wording •of the latter part of the notice. If, as the author of the motion is no doubt prepared to maintain, the • internal communications of the country never ought to have been closed on the Sunday, there seems no :-eason why their re-opening should be put on a foot mg of a merely provisional and ad interim arrange- ment ; and, on general grounds, we doubt the desir ableness of affecting to adjourn a vexatious and irri 'sting controversy, instead of settling it. However, the difference is, after all, not so material as it ap- . Jeers, and if Mr. Locke is not deluding himself with the notion that his excessive moderation will bring him a few Sabbatarian votes, we dare say no great harm will be done. The practical gist of his motion is, that the decision of the House for stopping the Sun day collection and delivery of letters was hasty, un-,,, . wise, and ought to be reversed ; and any form of wordsN, which really raises this issue will answer every essen- : ial purpose. On the merits of this controversy we have ,ittle or nothing to add to what we have repeatedly had ,ccasion to urge during the last few weeks. Look-'" ing at the question merely as one of religious prin- • ciple, we never could understand why the State should make a conscience of refusing to perform on, :he Sunday a social function which, in countless in- stances, confessedly comes within the privileged - category either of "necessity" or of " mercy." We never yet met with a Sabbatarian who made any;; lifficulty about admitting that cases are perpetually arising in which the instant transmission of a written; communication to a distant place, quite irrespectively Jf canonical hours or days, is an actual duty ; and if - his be once granted, it is totally inexplicable on what grounds a Christian Government ought to hold I itself interdicted from facilitating the perform- ‘: ante of such , duties. Considering how large '` p = an amount of Sunday letter-writing is, on; , the very strictest and narrowest principles of • Sabbatarianism, not only permissible, but even corn- - pulsory in foro conscientice, we are really astonished it the facility with which some people assume that it' .s sinful for the state to collect and deliver letters on that day. And this is the more extraordinary when it is further remembered that the performance of this • function by the same official machinery which collects Ind delivers on other days is obviously an immense saving of Sunday labour, since it employs a single :orps of carriers and messengers in the transmission of communications which would otherwise be con veyed by an indefinite number of private individuals. Possibly, after the little foretaste which we have had f the practical working of the prohibitory regime, s the advocates of the better observance of the' Sunday may be more accessible to reason on his point than they have previously shown them- selves. It can scarcely be doubted, that, as the t Postmaster-General was informed the other day by a deputation of newspaper proprietors, a far greater amount of Sunday labour has been set in motion for • the last two or three weeks, in connexion with the transmission and delivery of the London weekly journals alone, than has been saved by the opera • . ion of the new system ; ,and if we further take into account all the parcels, messages, and other Jrpedients to which individuals have resorted in order :o supply the void left by the enforced idleness of the Post-office, it will be difficult to resist the conclusion bat the Sunday has never been worse kept within ;he memory of this generation than during the:. ?resent period of Sabbatarian ascendancy. We .' lave already more than once warned the agitators ;>, .hat it would be prudent to let well alone —or, we , would rather say, to content themselves with that e silent and gradual progress from good to better which has been taking place for many years past e'-, with reference to the decorous and religious observ ance of the Sunday. As it is, the sacred day is im neasurably .• better kept in Great Britain than in any ether European country ; and there is the utmost.; reason to fear that violent and ill-considered at- empts to strain the cords of Sabbatical obligation too':' ight will produce consequences the very reverse of hose which are intended and desired. We know not low far there is reason for supposing that the gentle nen who constituted the majority of ninety- hree have profited by the experience of the last three A eck s—though it is at least certain that the tone of -: heir organs surprisingly changed from the first mo- , nent that the matter assumed a serious and prac i:ical shape. But the real settlement of the question , will lie, so far as the present session is concerned, not, with the majority of ninety-three who voted with Lord Ashley on the 30th of May, but with the far arger majority of 490 (including, by the way), Mr. Locke himself) who were absent from the House on hat occasion. We presume that a very consider able proportion of these Gentlemen have sub sequently been made aware—either by the corn- Junctions visitings of conscience or by the remon- i . , strances of their constituents—that they are boundo both to have and to express an opinion, one way or e the other, on a matter so deeply interesting to the community as in the mutilation or the restoration of the postal system of the country ; and if so, it' is scarcely possible to doubt that the result, of to-night's motion will be the abrogation of a hasty vote which nobody expected, and which, we believe, very few persons really desired. At ally` events we may take the liberty of reminding any 4 ,;entleman whose absenteeism on a former occasion was not accidental, and who may feel inclined to - esort to the same expedient a second time for they sake of evading an embarrassing alternative, thatl it is not always practicable to shuffle off public re sponsibilities thus lightly. In fact, whover shrinks (without special cause shown) from giving a vote saber for or against Mr. Locke's motion, says, as, 2lainly as actions can speak, that he is totally; indifferent, on the one hand, to the supposed re-I ligous obligation of shutting up post-offices on thel Sunday, and on the other, to the comfort and conve nience of the public. One of these impeachments a nan may very well afford to bear, after having ho-I aestly striven to decide and act according to the best if his judgment —but it would be decidedly disagree , able to incur both, without the re-assuring conscious ness of having done one's duty. As few gentlemen will, we suppose, like to lay themselves fairly open to this double imputation, we look forward to seeing Mr.! Locke's motion thoroughly debated in a full House, l and adopted by a majority which shall leave no! doubt as to the real sense of the country. Lett us add, that whatever may be said of the duties and responsibilities of independent Members of Parliament applies, with tenfold force, to the Ministers of the Crown. Oa a matter so vitally important to all classes of the community, and especially to the poor and the unrepresented,, the Government are bound not only to have a clear! and decided opinion, but to do their best to obtain its' adoption by the House of Commons. It will not do for them to fold their arms in sulky apathy, and leave I everything to " the House." There has been far too much of this already, and we have never seen Lordl John Russell to less advantage than in the attitude, which he has assumed in reference to this question— courting defeat, in the first instance, by sheer negli-. gence and indifference, and ostentatiously exulting afterwards in the thought that "people would find out the inconvenience" of leaving a Liberal Cabinet in a minority. We trust that we have witnessed the last of those most, unseemly displays of little ness and pettishness, and that Ministers will now set themselves in good earnest to repair the error which has been committed through their own l a thes.' The rights and comforts of the great mass of the community are not to be wantonly trifled with, and if the Premier has any quarrel with a House of Com. mons, which, to say the trutb, is rather fond of out voting him, he must find some other way of showing his resentment than by zealously and eagerly inflict ingn inp:setaoenprlse do e s pecially , andnexceedin gl yot give ha rds hi poorerp unreserved, o n classes.sal l cl as classes I the hearty, o af zealous, and an official support to Mr. Locke's mo tion of to-night, the country will henceforth entir e l y • forget who moved, supported, and carried the i Sabba tarian vote of the 30th of May, and will rememberl * only that Lord John Russell has taken particular! • pleasure in carrying it out to all its mischievous and exasperating consequences. DAILY NEWS.—Mr. Locke has a very properl [notion on the notice-hook of the H ouse o f C ommons . of the kingdom dom inconveniences ; and after this evening.

This motion, it is true, stands seventh on the notice book., but as it is quite possible that those before it may be disposed of quickly or withdrawn, it is very desi-, cable that there should be a full attendance in case it come on.

They have the power, and Mr. ...solutio'n be I.alf of the meeting, PrePare which having b een secon d ed by Mr, LITTLE, unanimously, and th e meet andLocke will affurd them the opportunity, of putting the matter right. The absurdity of sending letters LATTLE, Was carried a l most papers on Saturday evenings, to remain in post- ing adjourned. offices, subject to the prying of their inmates, all the ' 'Sunday, is so ridiculous, and the inconveniences of 'the total cessation of delivery and collection on that 'day are so obvious, as to require very little dis cussion. The real point for debate and inquiry is !that so happily hit by Mr. Locke—how can Sun• ! day labour in post-offices be diminished, and the delivery and collection of letters be at the same time maintained ? No doubt, it is hard on individuals in, any service to be kept at work on the first, as well as throughout the other six days of the week; and it well behoves the Government to set private people an !example on such a point. But this was exactly what the Post-office authorities were doing when the House of Commons so improperly and injuriously interfered ; with the details of an executive department of the', ,state. They had given relief during five of the best, hours of the Sunday to nearly five thousand persons I lengaged in their service in the provinces ; and had, reduced the number of hands (at all times insignificant) employed during that day at St. Martin's-le-Grand. Nor would this have been all, had Parliament let them alone; they were prepared, and making prepa rations to go further. The only obstruction to their views was expense; for, to give complete relief to those worked six days in our Post-office on the .. seventh day, one of two courses must be adopted. Either there must be a cessation of delivery and col-': lection on Sundays, as Lord Ashley has proposed, and, unfortunately, carried; or Parliament must be prepared to allow the Post-office to enlarge its esta blishment. For years complaints have been almost' universal of the inadequacy of the remuneration given to post-masters and all other Post-office employis. Hard work and bad pay was, and is, the tenure of Post office service. Now, unluckily for the heads of the . department, these complaints were not sufficiently attended to. In their anxiety to make the Post office the source of a handsome revenue to the coun try, the treasury of the Postmaster-General, and their advisers, screwed down salaries, remuneration, and wages, to point intolerably low, and the consequence is, that on the part of their officers and servants,: there is now an organisation against them as naives sal as their former disregarded complaints were. This organisation has lent all its influence, and supplied all its information to Lord Ashley and his friends ; and has of late been celebrating its triumph by osten tatious attendance at church. And that triumph is. in point of fact, a retribution for Post-office niggard liness and Treasury economy. To restore Sunday delivery and collection, the Post-office and the Treasury must, then, be prepared to deal liberally with those in their service, and to give to every one engaged in that department the pecuniary , means and the opportunity of enjoying one day's complete rest during the week. Unless, indeed, they are ready to do this, it may be doubted whether a restoration to the old practice ought in justice to the Post-office employs to be made. For it is quite: intolerable that a public department alone in this country should, on the paltry ground of economy. deny its servants one day's relaxation, rest, or amuse ment during each week. And how, and at what cost that can be done, will be one of the points for inquiry, should Mr. Locke's motion be carried. So far as the question has been made what it really is not, a reli gious one, that is almost entirely owing to Scotland and its sectarian squabbles and animosities. Since the disruption of the kirk of that ancient kingdom, there has been in Scotland a struggle and a competi don between the rival sects and churches for power and supremacy. One has been outbidding ' the other in what we, on the south of the Tweed. :call Puritanism, until at last their race ended in an organization against Sunday travelling and Post-office work, which hes gradually, but not very successfully, been extended into England; whilst to Ireland it has hardly gained admittance. It is, there rfore, a question whether the prejudices entertained on this question by a large proportion of the 1 population , of Scotland shall be force,!, against their inclination and reason, on the inhabitants of England and Ire land ? And this, too, Mr. Locke, will, if he have the opportunity, put to he test to-night in the House of Commons. We conclude, however, as we commence, in entreating attendance. Members owe it to their 'own characters, as well as to their constituents, to be, present. For, if on such a subject the representa tives of the people are afraid of expressing in the' Housa of Commons the opinions they are loud in giving vent to out, they are most unworthy member: lof the popular branch of the British Parliament, NEW POSTAL REGULATIONS. MAGAZINES, &c.—(CONTINUED.) COLBURIV'S VIVI lED SERVICE. The opening paper is entitled the " Nepaulese `Mission," and furnishes us with some valuable par iticulars, as to the country and manners of the Ne !paulese, and as to the personal qualities of the mem- I bers of the present embassy to England. The fol lowing suggestions are worth attention, though, no 'doubt, Aberdeen and his Cossacks, in the House of Lords, would pass a resolution deprecating any extension of our fur trade with Nepaul, without leave, from the Autocrat first had and obtained. Speaking of the manufactures of Nepaul, this writer, who was late Assistant Rt sident at Khatmatadoo, says ' They perfectly understand melting copper, tin, and zinc together, also the proportions for making brass. They are moreover celebrated for their bell metal: some of their gongs, for instance, would in deed be highly prized in many a nobleman's domain; and a few of these at the grand exhibition next yera., would be much admired, and doubtless ensure many • orders for the gong manufacturers in Kbatmandoo. For the same great occasion, specimens of some of th e beau tiful furs, monthly obtainable in Kbatinandoo, from Lassa and Digurchee, in Thibet, might be imported. these two large cities are great fur depots: they are only forty marches from Khatmandoo. It is, however, deserving of consideration, whether by encouraging a airect far trade, we should not be unii.tentionally giving offence to Russia, for a very large portion of the Russian fur trade is derived from this part of Thibet, acd cer usinly by far the most valuable furs are obtained there. I have seen some of the most beautiful dresses made of turs brought by the native merchants from these cities; and I once purchased from ore of them a fur cicak with thick silk lining for 150 Moree rupees, in English money little more than 101. A few enterprising English mer chants (the Nepaul restrictions on commerce being re moved, and protection from plunder and extortion gua ranteed) would very soon ensure the whole of the rhibetan trade being drawn to Calcutta, which I have before mentioned, is only 200 miles from the Nepaul frontier, with water carriage from the foot of the hills. the transaction might also lead to a most desirable object, viz., the diverting the attended of the Nepaulese from their ruling idea, that they are strictly a military nation. they have, singularly enough, retained this notion during upwards of thirty years' peace." The next article is an able vindication of Lord Palmerston's conduct during the whole of his negotiations with France on the Greek question. The failure of those negotiations is en tirely due to Baron Gros, acting, with the con nivance and support of General de Lahitte, under Russian influence; the whole intrigue was concocted in 'he salons of the Princess Lieven. In an article on the military resources of Russia, we find that the disposable strength of the Russian army consists of about 365,000 iorantry, 95,000 cavalry, and 1,080 field pieces, besides the stationary or local corps of 280,000 men, 45,000 horse, and 100 or 120 Seld pieces, this too being exclusive of the Cossack militia. The writer is of opinion that, after providing for all the wants of the empire, Russia could throw into Europe 310,000 rank and file of well drilled, highly disciplined, and admirably provided troops, backed by a powerful reserve. Lieutenant-Colonel Wilkie, in a paper on the " Yeomany Cavalry," consi ders that, under their present organization, they are merely an expensive pla) thing. We consider that they are not only an expensive but a dangerous play thing, and should rejoice to see them disbanded alto cgether, as proposed by the Hon. Member for Bristol, Mr. Henry Berkeley. In his comments on the court martial on Commander Michell, the writer urges the absolute necessity of an immediate and extensive re ,lirmation in the organization of those courts of in • justice, and we cordi3lly join him in his agitation of Alia subject. The narrative of the "Antarctic Voyage ,f the Pagoda " is continued, and we have in addition several papers of great professional interest. Yesterday evening a very numerous public meeting was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the purpose of considering the motion to be made in 'the House of Commons this day by Mr. Locke, M.P., for immediately rescinding the recent postal . derangement. Mr. W. WILLIAMS, late M.P., for Coventry, having' taken the chair amidst loud aeclamations, said that tillN within the last two hours he had not been aware that 'such a meeting was to be held, but us he never refused to do what lay in his power for the benefit of the people, ho was willing to take the char in the absence of Mr. Douglas Jerrold.—(Cheers.) He was an advocate for the ; suspension of labour on toe Sunday, because be thought a day of rest was of the greatest po.sible benefit to the working classes.—(Bear, hear.) But there were circumstances which justified a departure from this . rule to a certain extent, and these circumstances existed ' with regard to the delivery through the Post-office ofi letters and newspapers on Sunday. The recent resolu , tion of the House of Commons had been directed rather against the working class than against the dese- ' oration of the Sabbath.—(Cheers and cries of " No, no.")!. If it was determined to make Sunday a day of entire sus• pension from all labour, let the rule be applied equally 1 to the rich as well as the poor. In the households of the uobility, far more work was done on that day than was, required to carry on the Post-office operations.—(Elear, '- Ow.) The chairman concluded by reading a letter :from Mr. Hume, M.P., expressing his regret at being unable to attend the meeting, and promising to forward its object by every means in his power.—( Rear, hear.) ' Mr. HoookrNs moved the first resolution:—" That the closing of the Post-office on Sundays for the deliver) of letters and newspapers is arbitrary and unjust, and; that this meeting considers such a proceeding opposed '. ito the wishes and feelings of a large majority of Or • people, and pledges itself to make every lawful; exertion to get the recent order, closing the Post • office on Sundays, immediately rescinded. " H . e said . that the recent alterations would crew° more labour , than would be abolished in the Post-office, for principal railway companies had made, or were, 'making arrangements for the carriage and delivery of 4newspapers in almost every town in E n g land. I f l et t ers and newspapers were not delivered by the Post office on /Sunday they would be distribut ed b y p riva te hands, and a great increase of labour on t h at day would be the ine- ' vitable consequence of Lord Ashley's address.—(LLar.)', Mr. ELT seconded the resolution. He thought it ne- cessary to say that he was a firm believer its the vital truths of Christianity, because the term " infidel " had b e en unscrupulously applied to thos e w h o a d vocate d t h e rational enjoyment of the Sabbath.—(Hear, hear.) He believed that institution to be rather a social expedient than a divine command, and as such, it was inevitable that a few should suffer for the benefit of the mass. But the Sabbatarians h a d p u t the question on a religious footing.—(Hear, hear,) They had propounded a theolo- . gioal dogma to which they required every one else to bow.—(Cheers.) During his address Mr. Elt was frequently interrupted by a person in the body of the meeting, who proved to , be Duncan, the Chartist poet. Having succeeded in ' forcing his way on the table, he stood there for some minutes, 'gesticulating furiously, and resisting every effort to get him down. At last the police were sent for, and he was forced out of the room by a constable amidst • a general uproar. • Mr. LEE moved the following amendment:—'' That this meeting is of opinion that the new Post- office regu lations being the result of the constitutionally expressed! wishes of a large and influential portion of the commu- k / ity—(No, no, and hisses) —ought not to be rescinded; • 'until they have had a fair trial." He said, that all bet wished was the measure should be fairly discussed and; ' fairly tried. He could see no injustice in a meaure the object of which was to relieve a large prtion of the ;, community from compulsory labour on the Sabbath day. t . il Mr. WHEY seconded the amendment, amidst general) r i n t e rruption. Mr. lilooan said, let the friends of restrictions get petitions signed throughout the country, and regular ] ) . presented, and let a Bill be brought in, solemnly deba ted and passed, and he would then willingly admit that th t public approved of the measure ; but so fa r as at, opinion could be formed at present it was dec idedl y un popular.—(Cheers.) Mr. SERLE, who was received with loud and long contilled applause, said that the parties who promoted i the meeting were accused of being interested persons. I s They were so, and so were their opponents. The latter were men who-desired to monopolise the whole Sabbath for themselves—(Hear, hear) —but they had commenced moyemeut of the end of Which they did act anticipate, MISCELLASEOYS. The Eclectic Review op.ns with an inter e sti ng rirticle on " British and Foreign Libraries," chiefly compiled from the valuable contents of the " Report from the St.lect C drunittee on Public Libraries." In an article, in this same periodical, "On Wordsworth," we find the following singularly felicitous simile (alluding of course to an incident in the life of St. 'Paul) :—" Nature," says the reviewer, "tecomes to the poet's eye a great sheet let down from God mt of heaven; and in which there is no object ' common or unclean.' "—Tait's Magazine also contains some remarks on the deceased Poet Laureate. " The Ad mission of the Jews into Parliament," the " Patriotic War in Italy," and the " Recent Post-office Altera tions," form the subjects of the principle articles in his number, which is of its usual excellence ; but we •annot compliment Tait on his poetical contri butors. Here, for instance, is a translation of vine beautiful lines of hateaubriand's, which :occur in a consolatory epistle written by the poet to a friend who was lamenting the death of a beloved laughter. The whole poem is beautiful, but the most ,• exquisite verse is the following:— " Elle etait de ce monde at les plus holies chosen Out le pire dcstin Et Rose, eap a vecu, ce que vit la Rose, L'espsce d'un matin." Here is the very inadequate translation : \ " She was of earth, where fairest things Meet foulest fate.

Toe chief article is, we believe, from her own pen, namely, "Ella More, or the History of a Human Heart." We need not say that it instructs as well as entertains. The character of Ella is well drawn, and is exceedingly natural. The . poetry of this serial is especially good; among the best pieces are those on " The Months," and some ' by American authors.—Much that is interesting may , be found this month in Sharpe's. The " Ornitholo gia Poetica ; or, Quotations from different Poets on the subject of the Eagle ;" and the " Life and Poems '` of George Crabbe," are among the best of the articles. The reviews are numerous.—The People's . lI andHowilt's Journal contains its usual variety of grave and gay.
