" The author, we arc convinced, is young, otherwise we cou ld hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be half of his heroes and heroines. lie 13 a writer of genius, inspired by a high standard of morality *and religien, ant by a laudable love of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan guage in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in which links of the story are dropped , containing most eloquent essays on matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he has inarke4 per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraelis, Man nerses, and Smythes."—Observer. “ • Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed ing beauty, and is written in pure and foreiLle language, with great good taste and power. It is cne of the most interesting and en gaging novels which the present season has proanced. Of the cha racter of Amelia Koss we have already spoken, and the extract we have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have said. The other ladles who play conspicuous parts in the tale are F!orence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and impulsive genius, passionately fond of music and poetry; and Julia Illaithuhl, the noblest and best of them all.”—Morning Post.

JOHN RAILTON and SONS, the eminent stock and sharebrokers, of Manchester, (which will be found in another part of this day's im pression) will be perused with deep interest by all holders of railway property. it shows that the tide which was so long ebbing has at length turned, and that there is every reason to hope that these im portant undertakings have seen their worst days, that henceforth there will be a gradual improvement, affording a reasonable expectation of fair, but moderate remuneration to those who have invested their capital therein. The extraordinary panic and depression of the last few years were but the natural consequences of the mania and extravagant prices of 1844 and 1845. It was then thought that •railways constituted a mine of incalculable wealth, which could not possibly he over worked. Fortunes were, in many instances, realised in a few weeks which would have taken a life to accumulate. There was no labour, no anxiety; nothing was required but the friendship of some pro vieional committeeman, who could put in a good word during the distribution of shares. The letter of al lotment was issued, and in many instances sold for hundreds, aye, thousands of pounds, without a single farthing being required from the fortunate allottee. Every instance of successful speculation stimulated new adventurers to enter the Capel-court El Dorado. The lines in existence or process of construction did not afford a sufficiently ample field fur those embarked in pursuit of the Golden Fleece ; every quarter of the island was ransacked. It was enough to find a few rowne without direct railway communication. Ate engineer was sent out to inspect, and in fewa days a hasty report was returned, a provisional committee formed, prospectus issued, shares allotted, and brought out at a considerable profit in a few clays. In many cases the visit of the engineer was dispensed with. The promoter only required a railway map of England, and to draw a few lines from town to town in order to send forth a flaming prospectus. Wherever the names were high soenelieg, or large towns on the route, two, three, or four competing companies were in the field, and a fierce con test was waged before the Parliamentary Committees. Nearly 1,400 schemes were registered, which would have required for payment of the deposits alone Learly 60,000,0001. sterling, or 600,000,000/. for their completion. Men wholly without capital, or the means of paying a single call, fearlessly 'signed sub scriptions, undertaking to pay tens of thousands, and thought that their fortunes were made if they could scrape suffiCient to pay the deposit. Swett was the state of f; Ira rs, when in the latter end of October, 134.5, the first panic in the share market commenced. Many ill-digested projects were nipped in the bud. Even the borui fide lines in ac tual operation Llt the effect of the shock, and were quoted at red uce3 prices: There was as great an anxiety to " get out" as there had formerly been to " get in," and stock and shares were thrown indis criminately on the market, to be sold for anything they could bring. Still the panic was not as com plete as it subsequently became. Many companies went to Parliament and obtained the necessary powers, and some have actually been carried out, notwithstanding the pressure on the money-market. The commercial crisis of 1847, which depreciated every description of property, did not pass lightly over the railway interest. The quotations not only fell in common with Consols, and every other species of investment, but the traffic was materially reduced, owing to the general embarrass ment that prevailed on every side, and the extreme depression of trade. Stock was flung on the market, and sacrificed fur anything that could be obtained, and when the change was produced by the virtual suspension of the Bank Charter Act, which restored some degree of confidence in other matters, that con fidence was not extended to railway property, which continued to fall, while almost everything else ex hibited considerable improvement. This continued to the present year, but at length the symptoms of a change are becoming perceptible. Messrs. RAILTON, in order to test the value of the unguaranteed capi. tat, assumed that a person on the 26th April, the date of their last circular, "purchased one share in each of twenty-three unguaranteed lines (the most attended to at that period) by an outlay cf 7331. 16s. 31, and kept them over until the 26th July, three very dull months in the share market, and without any apparent improve ment in confidence to attract particular observation. The result showed no variation in value upon one line, a loss upon seven lines, and a gain upon fifteen lines, leaving a balance of profit amounting to 31. 7s. 3d. per cent. at the end of three months, or at the rate of 131. 9;. per annum." This advance, although trifling, affords a cheering augury. It shows that the feeling which has made capitalists shun railway stock far the last few years is b•-ginning to change, and that as other channels of investment are becoming narrower, and money i. accumulating in amount, with a falling rate of inte rest, a considerable portion will be attracted into railways, which cannot fail to improve considerably in value. One of the first measures likely to occupy the at tention of the Legislature in the next session of Par liament will be the Irish Land Question, and we think it is the duty of all who wish for the moral, social, and physical improvement of the people of Ireland, to aid the Government in the settlement of this vital question. Ministers are pledged to legislate on this subject, and those parties who would create any difficulties in the legal adjustment of the relations between landlords and tenants in Ireland are not, in our humble judgment, serving the cause either of the Government or the people. Thera is no inherent difficulty in the subject, save that which is inseparable from the settlement of any question where jarring interests are concerned. The laws in relation to land are not more unalterable than the laws which relate to any other species of property, They are the creations of the Legislature, and we conceive it is not only within the province, but that it is the actual duty, of the Government to amend c r alter them as the social state and the public interest might require. It is idle to say that the matter should be left to the civilizing influence of education. The history of the world proves that no degree of enlightenment can work such a mural miracle as t ) elevate the general body of mankind above the considerations of selfish- ness. The wi. , dom and learning of BACON did no preserve him from the meanest and most sordid in fluences. If those moral principles and those "better feelings," which should spring from them, were to advance hand in hand with the rapid progress of human knowledge, there would be no necessity for the additions made, session afta session, to our civil and criminal co le. We have no faith in these Uto• plan anticipations ; indeed, the answer to such falla cious doctrines has been written, over and over again, in characters of crime and blood. One of our contemporaries, in endeavouring to indi cate certain fallacies which he attributes to those who write and speak on this subject, has, in our humble opinion, fallen into greater fallacies than any which he has attempted to point out. He says— " Many persons are apt to suppose, that if they prove certain conduct to be impolitic e nd unjust they thereby establish its illegality." In anything written or spoken upon this point that came under our observa tion we have certainly been unable to discover any such confusion as is here implied. We are quite aware of the imperfection of our laws, we are aware that many acts of injustice can be committed which cannot be strictly said to be illegal, and it is to cure this defect, to prevent acts of inzpolicy and injustice being committed under the shelter of the law, that we call for legislation upon this subject. The legisla ture cannot make men good and wise, but it can make men act with justice. The same contemporary notices " another fallacy in which persons are apt to indulge who talk on this subject, and that is, that land is held, according to the and constitution of the United Kingdom, in trust, and that consequently a landowner is bound by law so to comport himself with respect to his land as to make it produce the greatest happiness to the greatest possible number ;" and goes on to ask in what text• book, in what legal decision, this maxim is to be found, &c. &c. We do not believe that any text• book or legal de cision will supply any such maxim ; we believe the absolute owner has at this moment perfect and entire demieion over his estate. We know that the land owner in Ireland can evict his tenant, raze to the ground the humble roof-tree under which his fathers have reposed forages, and send him and his helpless off spring to perish by the wayside—we know that this power has been exercised under circumstances of great cruelty. We believe this power dangerous to the social welfare of Ireland ; we believe it has al ready worked much mischief, and will continue to work still greater evils without the interposition of the Legislature ; we,would, therefore, call upon the Government to introduce some measure to meet such a crying grievance. There is no power, no right, beyond the control of the law and the constitution ; and one of the great perfections which jurists attribute to our constitution is, that it contains within itself the elements to cure any defects which time or circumstances may pro duce. We would, then, call on the Legislature to deal boldly but Equitably with this matter, to deal between party and party in accordance with the most rigid spirit of justice. We would certainly in- terpose some legal shield between the tenant and a capricious or cruel landlord ; we would save the in dustrious tenant from being driven out a houseless wanderer, and would give him such a fixed interest in the soil as would be calcu lated to make him a useful citiz-n, while, at the same time, we would preserve every just right of the landlord, consistent with those higher and paramount considerations, the preservation of human life, and the general well-being, peace, and order of the community. With regard to the asser tion that land in either England or Ireland is not the subject of a trust, we are amongst the number of those who conceive that "property has its duties as well as its rights," and that every landlord is morally, if not legally, a trustee. His rights are based on public utility, and we think he is bound by the obli gations of society so to exercise his rights and duties as to produce the greatest amount of good to the social community of which he is a member. ALARMING FIRE AT KENNINGTON.—This morning, be , ,nging to Mrs. alarming fire broke out in the pre misesat an early hour, a very Kenning ton-lane, Lambeth. The fire Mehery, No. 17,. Lower Kenning ommenced in a blind manu factory, and but few minutes elapsede ere the lower portion of the building, together with the staircase, became enve it.waaeheirT and two loped in flame. At that period Mrs s chil dren were in their beds asleep, danger. i a treat trouble that they could be made sensible of their t P, and happily succeeded in escaping from one of the bac g k er w . i They l s , The engines of the London br'gade and West of England office quickly attended, and plenty ot water having been ob tained from the Lainbzth Company's mains, the engines were set to work, but the firemen were unable to get the flames extinguished until the whole of the stock in trade was de stroyed, the lower part of the premises burned out,' and the upper floors seriously damaged. 'l' fle origin of the lire could not be ascertained. 11ER MAJESTY'S TiIEATRE.—Tn E GltAtiD CONCEPas.—We learn that it is the intention of the committee of the Grand National ConcertF, to produce origi nal lyrical works by native composers. George Maclarren and Edward L o d er are already erigagfAl, and we believe an offer ln.s been made to John Barnett, the author of The Mountain Sylph. Balie will be th,.: unuical director; Ihrr Mohque, leader; and the celebrated Musard is to be en trusted with the cuinpoing and conducting of the dance music. We understand also that the wort -famous chorus of the Berlin Chapel Royal, consisting of seventy inale voices, under the direction of Kaptl- Meister Neidth,rdt, has been secured. The orchestra will amount to ninety-eight performers. THE RECORDERSIIIP.—Mr. Montagu Chambers has announced himself as a candidate for this office. EXCURSION TRAINS. —Th e txeurion train from Oxford, yesterday, brought up to Paddington 3,200 persons. The train yielded about 65C1., and the expenses were, per haps, 304 THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Co General of the Departments continue to express themselves as favourable to a reviAon of the Constitution ; bur one only, that of the Pyrete!s Orienteles, has demanded the prolongation of the Presidency of Louis NAPOLEON. The C , ..uheil Ge nerol of Avignon refused, by a nivjArity of 18 to 8, to entertain the proposition for a revision of the Con stitution. The Courrier Francais, the organ of the Bur graves, hay declared in favour of the 'monarchical pre tensions of the Count of CHAMIVIRD. The Society of the 10th December is making great eflats to secure for LOUIS NAPOLEON a favourable reception at Cherbourg, as there can be no doubt of his great unpopularity in the navy. The Prince DE JOINVILLE is the idol of the sailors as a man, and the Republic is their idol as an in. stitution. After February, 1848, M. FRANCOIS ARAGo, Republican Minister of Marine, gained immense popularity among the sailors by in creasing the quantity and improving the quality Of the provisions served out to them ; but when LOUIS NAPOLEON was elected President, one of the first acts of his administration was to revert to the old system of short commons for the sailors, and bad of the sort. He will, therefore, it is feated, be received at Cherbourir with cries of " Vive le Prince de Join ville ;" " Vive Francois Arago ;" and " Vive lu Us publique !" but surely with no cry of " Vive le President !" or " Vive Napoleon !" save for a con sideration, and the society are doing their best to get up a N tooleon demonstration at ten sous a head. The Moniteur publishes a decree of the P&CSIDENT of the Republic, di=ciaridg the Professorship of Mati.e matics in the Colleges of France, held by M. LIBEI, to be vacant, in consequence of his absence, and that the amount of salary due to M. Linn' is to be re turned to the Treasury. . . A second decree declares that the seat in the AcAdetny of Science (section of geometry), hitherto occupied by M. LIBRI, is vacant, in consequence of hiA having quitted France on the 28th of Febru ary, 1848. A letter from Cherbourg, of the 30th ult., states that a steamer from Jersey, with 150 passengers, had been subjected to very rigid search, in consequence of a rumour that some (f the French political refu gees were on board. The passengers, who did not know the motive of the rigour, were astonished at this apparent want of courtesy after the kind reception given by the people of Jersey to the different excur sionists from France.

The Cologne Gazette publishes the following from Vienna, of the date of the 26th " A tem days since a dispatch arrived from Rome, in which the intervention of Austria was requested in the Sardinian affairs. A similar ratite, it is said, bas gone to Fr aT,ce. Spain as well as Naples have been quite over looked, although in the documents the Papal Council de clare their aqachment to all the Catholic Powers. The differences of the Papal See with the Court of Madrid, on account of the Papal dispensation for the marriage of Count de Nlontemoliri, accounts fur the one; and a fresh quarrel with Naples, for the other. The refusal of Car ainal Sforzs, confessor of King Ferdinand, to grant him absolution from his constitutional oath, is said to have originated in Rome." Immediately after the receipt of the intelligence C.unt NEssaLaopc, the Russian Councillor of State, demanded an audience of the EMPEROR. Prince SCIIWARTZEISBERG went to Salzburg on Saturday night to receive the Russian diplomatist, and introduce him to his MAJESTY. It is this fact, which has hitherto been kept a profound mystery, that has retarded the return of the EMPEROR for se veral days. This conference, which is said to be of he highest importance, will take place at I-chl. Count .MEDEM sets off for Lintz to-morrow morning, to receive the Chancellor. General PROTT, the llanoverian Minister of War, has sent in his resignation. The Carlsruhe Gazette, of the 31st August, pub lishes the first part of a note addressed by the Baden Government to the Austrian Government, in reply to the latter's dispatch of the 21st July, relative to the passage of the Baden troops by the fortress of Mayence. The Baden Government declares that it considers it is perfectly justified in what it has done, by the approval of the federal superior authority, which alone was competent to decide in the matter. Nevertheless it will not decline to submit to the de cision of any future competent federal authority which may be established. The convention of the 28th gives it full liberty in this respect, but till then it will strongly repel the reproach of having failed in its federal duties. King OTHO arrived at Trieste on the 24th ult. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Mums have now posset,sion of Suderstapel, south of Frederickstadt; but no other military operations on either side worthy of notice has taken place. By an ordinance issued by the Copenhagen Go vernment, the customs line between Schleswig and Denmark is to be done away with from and after the Ist of September nest. BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, SEPT. I.—The intelligence of the death of Louts PHILIPPE has been a great shock to her MAJESTY, whose health is in a very precarious state, and causes great uneasiness to the members of the Royal family. RUSSIA. The Prussian Staats Anzeiger says that the Russian Government has distributed a circular among the ar tisans of Vienna and Prague, stating that there is employ for 300 carpenters and joiners in the south of Rus'sia. Every workman who shall present himself shall receive a gratuity of 15 florins, independently of the expenses of his journey. _ _ _ The health of the Empress of RUSSIA. is so impaired that she will be compelled to pass the winter in the south of Europe. MOLDAVIA AND WALLACHIA. The Turkish Government has made energetic demands on the Russian Cabinet to withdraw the nusaian troops from the Danubian principalities, or to declare its intentions ; whereupon Russia, has in quired of the Elospodars whether they thought that tranquillity was sufficiently re-established to allow of the dispensing with this occupation. Prince GHIKA hesitated ; hut STRIBBEY, who is under the influ ence of Russia, demanded two years for reflection. Accordingly, bloblavia will remain occupied by 6,000 Russian troops, and Wallachia by 7,000. PERSIA. We have dates from Tabreez to the 31st July, an nouncing the important fact that the SHEIK LTL ISLAM, of Azerbaidjan (of which extensive district Tabreez is the capital), a very influential personage, as being one of the highest dignitaries of the Church of Persia, has been arrested, and forcibly conveyed to Teheran, by special order of the Emir NIZAM, together with his son, under a charge of intriguing to secure an exten sion of power to the clergy, to the manifest detriment of the State. Babism, notwithstanding the recent execution of its chief and founder BAB, the soi-disant representa tive of MAHOMMED MEHDI, the twelfth and last Imam, claiming direct succession from MAHOMMED, continues to increase, and its followers are said to number in Persia alone 50,000. The village of 7,n(ljar, which is their stronghold, though only containing a population of 8,000, including women and cbildrer continues to hold out against five regi ments of well disciplined troops, which have closely as the l e i a t inhabitants two provisions be,,ieged it tt. r th e p as t th ree mon ths, and in a late sortie, 200 o f th e l a t ter were massacre d.

It is generally admitted that consumption is fully we find impor's light —no sur pl us stoc k o f new kept up; wool, and scarcely any of old supplies, then fore it is not out of the boundary of rationality to presume that the raw material before lung will go higher still, especially as the harvest is progressing in several districts favour ably. Our market is cleared of nearly all useful descrip tious, and gie4t complaints are made by the buyers of the limited quantity here. Sales by private treaty have been effected in Russian, Iceland, Last India, Buenos Ayres, Egj ptian, Pcruvian, and Alpaca, &c., at advanced fates. There is nothitg done in Oporto Combing, though Casiel Barter° and Lamb.' have Lund buyers. Tutkey, Italian, Russian Fleece, and other kin Is of this class, are much wanted, and would command high prices. Scotch Laid and Whi•e Ilighlind meet with ready sale at the quotations; also washed Cheviot and Cross; but laid Cheviot and Laid Cross move slowly. A parcel of Laid Galloway was disposed of, and on the whole a fair inquiry exists. In English and Irish a large business has been transacted in combing fleeces : want of stock curtails business, and in some i nstances c.msumrrs hold back from giving a further advance, which is demanded, pri ces b e i ng h i g h er among i the farmers than n the general market.

The St. John's News, in a very excellent article on the Great Eastern Railway, furnishes the following in formation relative to the supposed route of the line:— " The following is the distaste to this route:—Halifax to Truro, 55 wile,; Truro to Amherst and Bay Verte, 69 miles; Bay Verte to Shediac, 26 miles; total, Hali fax to Stitt:Hee, 150 milts exactly, as surveyed on the railway line. From this city to St. Stt phen, as the crow flies, the distance is 64 miles, but if estimated at 84 miles, as the longest route to secure a good line, the whole distance from Halifax to the United States fron tier at Calais is just 340 miles. A statement has been issued by an able engineer at Boston, in which the proposed railway is ettimated to cost 28.0001., or 7,000/. per mile. This exceeds by 2,0001. per mile the estimates made both by the Com missioners of the Halifax and Quebec .Raile ay and by Mr. Wilkinson. It is calculated 300 passengers will travel daily on this railway, and that 100 tuns of freight will also be carried daily. The fares and rates of freight are stated at the lowest American rate of three cents (Lis than twopence) per mile for each passenger, end three cents per mile for each ton of freight. With these rates, and au allowance of 50,0001. per annum by the English Government for the carrying of the mails (being the sum now paid for the Canadian mails from Boston to Montreal), it is clearly shown that the line will pay its working expenses, with allowance for we zr and tear, and yield an annual divi dend of eight per cent. cn the cost—that cost being es timated, es we have already stated, at 7,000/. per mile."

After they had been drinking for about half an hour, the men left the house, and on witness going round the counter he found Mr. Thwai'es 13 ing on the ground quite insensible.
